OLD TESTAMENT

Genesis (创世纪)

Genesis - Chapter 1

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

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

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

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

1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
神称光为“昼”, 称暗为“夜”. 有晚上, 有早晨, 这是头一日.

1:6 And God said, “Let there be a vaulted dome in the midst of the waters, and let it cause a separation between the waters.”
神说: “诸水之间要有空气, 将水分为上下. ”

1:7 So God made the vaulted dome, and he caused a separation between the waters which were under the vaulted dome and between the waters which were over the vaulted dome. And it was so.
神就造出空气, 将空气以下的水,空气以上的水分开了. 事就这样成了.

1:8 And God called the vaulted dome “heaven.” And there was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
神称空气为“天”. 有晚上, 有早晨, 是第二日.

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

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

1:11 And God said, “Let the earth produce green plants that will bear seed—fruit trees bearing fruit in which there is seed—according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
神说: “地要发生青草和结种子的菜蔬, 并结果子的树木, 各从其类, 果子都包著核. ”事就这样成了.

1:12 And the earth brought forth green plants bearing seed according to its kind, and trees bearing fruit in which there was seed according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
于是地发生了青草和结种子的菜蔬, 各从其类; 并结果子的树木, 各从其类; 果子都包著核. 神看着是好的.

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

1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vaulted dome of heaven to separate day from night, and let them be as signs and for appointed times, and for days and years,
神说: “天上要有光体, 可以分昼夜, 作记号, 定节令,日子,年岁,

1:15 and they shall be as lights in the vaulted dome of heaven to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
并要发光在天空, 普照在地上. ”事就这样成了.

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

1:17 And God placed them in the vaulted dome of heaven to give light on the earth
就把这些光摆列在天空, 普照在地上,

1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
管理昼夜, 分别明暗. 神看着是好的.

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

1:20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth across the face of the vaulted dome of heaven.
神说: “水要多多滋生有生命的物; 要有雀鸟飞在地面以上, 天空之中. ”

1:21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kind, and every bird with wings according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
神就造出大鱼和水中所滋生各样有生命的动物, 各从其类; 又造出各样飞鸟, 各从其类. 神看着是好的.

1:22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
神就赐福给这一切, 说: “滋生繁多, 充满海中的水; 雀鸟也要多生在地上. ”

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

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

1:25 So God made wild animals according to their kind and the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing of the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
于是神造出野兽, 各从其类; 牲畜, 各从其类; 地上一切昆虫, 各从其类. 神看着是好的.

1:26 And God said, “Let us make humankind in our image and according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every moving thing that moves upon the earth.”
神说: “我们要照着我们的形像,按着我们的样式造人, 使他们管理海里的鱼,空中的鸟,地上的牲畜, 和全地, 并地上所爬的一切昆虫. ”

1:27 So God created humankind in his image, in the likeness of God he created him, male and female he created them.
神就照着自己的形像造人, 乃是照着他的形像造男造女.

1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven, and over every animal that moves upon the earth.”
神就赐福给他们, 又对他们说: “要生养众多, 遍满地面, 治理这地, 也要管理海里的鱼,空中的鸟, 和地上各样行动的活物. ”

1:29 And God said, “Look—I am giving to you every plant that bears seed which is on the face of the whole earth, and every kind of tree that bears fruit. They shall be yours as food.”
神说: “看哪, 我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬和一切树上所结有核的果子全赐给你们作食物.

1:30 And to every kind of animal of the earth and to every bird of heaven, and to everything that moves upon the earth in which there is life I am giving every green plant as food.” And it was so.
至于地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟, 并各样爬在地上有生命的物, 我将青草赐给牠们作食物. ”事就这样成了.

1:31 And God saw everything that he had made and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.
神看着一切所造的都甚好. 有晚上, 有早晨, 是第六日.

Genesis - Chapter 2

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

2:2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
到第七日, 神造物的工已经完毕, 就在第七日歇了他一切的工, 安息了.

2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and he sanctified it, because on it he rested from all his work of creating that there was to do.
神赐福给第七日, 定为圣日; 因为在这日, 神歇了他一切创造的工, 就安息了.

2:4 These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven—
创造天地的来历, 在耶和华神造天地的日子, 乃是这样,

2:5 before any plant of the field was on earth, and before any plant of the field had sprung up, because Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no human being to cultivate the ground,
野地还没有草木, 田间的菜蔬还没有长起来; 因为耶和华神还没有降雨在地上, 也没有人耕地,

2:6 but a stream would rise from the earth and water the whole face of the ground—
但有雾气从地上腾, 滋润遍地.

2:7 when Yahweh God formed the man of dust from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
耶和华神用地上的尘土造人, 将生气吹在他鼻孔里, 他就成了有灵的活人, 名叫亚当.

2:8 And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
耶和华神在东方的伊甸立了一个园子, 把所造的人安置在那里.

2:9 And Yahweh God caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food. And the tree of life was in the midst of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
耶和华神使各样的树从地里长出来, 可以悦人的眼目, 其上的果子好作食物. 园子当中又有生命树和分别善恶的树.

2:10 Now a river flowed out from Eden that watered the garden, and from there it diverged and became four branches.
有河从伊甸流出来, 滋润那园子, 从那里分为四道:

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

2:12 (The gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stones are there.)
并且那地的金子是好的; 在那里又有珍珠和红玛瑙.

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

2:14 And the name of the third is Tigris. It flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
第三道河名叫底格里斯, 流在亚述的东边. 第四道河就是幼发拉底河.

2:15 And Yahweh God took the man and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it.
耶和华神将那人安置在伊甸园, 使他修理, 看守.

2:16 And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden you may freely eat,
耶和华神吩咐他说: “园中各样树上的果子, 你可以随意吃,

2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”
只是分别善恶树上的果子, 你不可吃, 因为你吃的日子必定死! ”

2:18 Then Yahweh God said, “it is not good that the man is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”
耶和华神说: “那人独居不好, 我要为他造一个配偶帮助他. ”

2:19 And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and he brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called that living creature was its name.
耶和华神用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞鸟都带到那人面前, 看他叫甚么. 那人怎样叫各样的活物, 那就是牠的名字.

2:20 And the man gave names to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven and to all the wild animals. But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.
那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞鸟,野地走兽都起了名; 只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他.

2:21 And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man. While he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been.
耶和华神使他沉睡, 他就睡了; 于是取下他的一条肋骨, 又把肉合起来.

2:22 And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.
耶和华神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一个女人, 领她到那人跟前.

2:23 And the man said, “She is now bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; she shall be called ‘Woman,’ for she was taken from man.”
那人说: 这是我骨中的骨, 肉中的肉, 可以称她为“女人”, 因为她是从“男人”身上取出来的.

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

2:25 And the man and his wife, both of them, were naked, and they were not ashamed.
当时夫妻二人赤身露体, 并不羞耻.

Genesis - Chapter 3

3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God indeed say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
耶和华神所造的, 惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾. 蛇对女人说: “神岂是真说不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子吗? ”

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

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

3:4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You shall not surely die.
蛇对女人说: “你们不一定死;

3:5 For God knows that on the day you both eat from it, then your eyes will be opened and you both shall be like gods, knowing good and evil.”
因为神知道, 你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了, 你们便如神能知道善恶. ”

3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise, then she took from its fruit and she ate. And she gave it also to her husband with her, and he ate.
于是女人见那棵树的果子好作食物, 也悦人的眼目, 且是可喜爱的, 能使人有智慧, 就摘下果子来吃了, 又给她丈夫, 她丈夫也吃了.

3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed together fig leaves and they made for themselves coverings.
他们二人的眼睛就明亮了, 才知道自己是赤身露体, 便拿无花果树的叶子为自己编做裙子.

3:8 Then they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden at the windy time of day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
天起了凉风, 耶和华神在园中行走. 那人和他妻子听见神的声音, 就藏在园里的树木中, 躲避耶和华神的面.

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

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

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

3:12 And the man replied, “The woman whom you gave to be with me—she gave to me from the tree and I ate.”
那人说: “你所赐给我,与我同居的女人, 她把那树上的果子给我, 我就吃了. ”

3:13 Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
耶和华神对女人说: “你做的是甚么事呢? ”女人说: “那蛇引诱我, 我就吃了. ”

3:14 Then Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you will be cursed more than any domesticated animal and more than any wild animal. On your belly you shall go and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
耶和华神对蛇说: 你既做了这事, 就必受咒诅, 比一切的牲畜野兽更甚; 你必用肚子行走, 终身吃土.

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

3:16 To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bear children. And to your husband shall be your desire. And he shall rule over you.”
又对女人说: 我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚; 你生产儿女必多受苦楚. 你必恋慕你丈夫; 你丈夫必管辖你.

3:17 And to Adam he said, “Because you listened to the voice of your wife and you ate from the tree from which I forbade you to eat, the ground shall be cursed on your account. In pain you shall eat from it all the days of your life.
又对亚当说: 你既听从妻子的话, 吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子, 地必为你的缘故受咒诅; 你必终身劳苦才能从地里得吃的.

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

3:19 By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, until your return to the ground. For from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
你必汗流满面才得糊口, 直到你归了土, 因为你是从土而出的. 你本是尘土, 仍要归于尘土.

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

3:21 And Yahweh God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skin, and he clothed them.
耶和华神为亚当和他妻子用皮子做衣服给他们穿.

3:22 And Yahweh God said, “Look—the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil. What if he stretches out his hand and takes also from the tree of life and eats, and lives forever?”
耶和华神说: “那人已经与我们相似, 能知道善恶; 现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃, 就永远活着. ”

3:23 And Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
耶和华神便打发他出伊甸园去, 耕种他所自出之土.

3:24 So he drove the man out, and placed cherubim east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming, turning sword to guard the way to the tree of life.
于是把他赶出去了; 又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面转动发火焰的剑, 要把守生命树的道路.

Genesis - Chapter 4

4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain. And she said, “I have given birth to a man with the help of Yahweh.”
有一日, 那人和他妻子夏娃同房, 夏娃就怀孕, 生了该隐(就是得的意思), 便说: “耶和华使我得了一个男子. ”

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

4:3 And in the course of time Cain brought an offering from the fruit of the ground to Yahweh,
有一日, 该隐拿地里的出产为供物献给耶和华;

4:4 and Abel also brought an offering from the choicest firstlings of his flock. And Yahweh looked with favor to Abel and to his offering,
亚伯也将他羊群中头生的和羊的脂油献上. 耶和华看中了亚伯和他的供物,

4:5 but to Cain and to his offering he did not look with favor. And Cain became very angry, and his face fell.
只是看不中该隐和他的供物. 该隐就大大地发怒, 变了脸色.

4:6 And Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why is your face fallen?
耶和华对该隐说: “你为甚么发怒呢? 你为甚么变了脸色呢?

4:7 If you do well will I not accept you? But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. And its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
你若行得好, 岂不蒙悦纳? 你若行得不好, 罪就伏在门前. 它必恋慕你, 你却要制伏它. ”

4:8 Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out into the field.” And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
该隐与他兄弟亚伯说话; 二人正在田间. 该隐起来打他兄弟亚伯, 把他杀了.

4:9 Then Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?”
耶和华对该隐说: “你兄弟亚伯在哪里? ”他说: “我不知道! 我岂是看守我兄弟的吗? ”

4:10 And he said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
耶和华说: “你做了甚么事呢? 你兄弟的血有声音从地里向我哀告.

4:11 So now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive the blood of your brother from your hand.
地开了口, 从你手里接受你兄弟的血. 现在你必从这地受咒诅.

4:12 When you till the ground it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall be a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth.”
你种地, 地不再给你效力; 你必流离飘荡在地上. ”

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

4:14 Look, you have driven me out today from the face of the ground, and from your face I must hide. I will be a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth, and it will happen that whoever finds me will kill me.”
你如今赶逐我离开这地, 以致不见你面; 我必流离飘荡在地上, 凡遇见我的必杀我. ”

4:15 Then Yahweh said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain will be avenged sevenfold.” Then Yahweh put a sign on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.
耶和华对他说: “凡杀该隐的, 必遭报七倍. ”耶和华就给该隐立一个记号, 免得人遇见他就杀他.

4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh, and he settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
于是该隐离开耶和华的面, 去住在伊甸东边挪得之地.

4:17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And when he built a city he named the city after his son, Enoch.
该隐与妻子同房, 他妻子就怀孕, 生了以诺. 该隐建造了一座城, 就按着他儿子的名将那城叫做以诺.

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

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

4:20 And Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and those who have livestock.
亚大生雅八; 雅八就是住帐棚,牧养牲畜之人的祖师.

4:21 And the name of his brother was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and wind instruments.
雅八的兄弟名叫犹八; 他是一切弹琴吹箫之人的祖师.

4:22 Then Zillah also gave birth to Tubal-Cain who forged all kinds of tools of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
洗拉又生了土八‧该隐; 他是打造各样铜铁利器的(或译: 是铜匠铁匠的祖师). 土八‧该隐的妹子是拿玛.

4:23 Then Lamech said to his wives, “Adah and Zillah, listen to my voice; O wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for injuring me.
拉麦对他两个妻子说: 亚大,洗拉, 听我的声音; 拉麦的妻子, 细听我的话语: 壮年人伤我, 我把他杀了; 少年人损我, 我把他害了(或译: 我杀壮士却伤自己, 我害幼童却损本身).

4:24 If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech will be avenged seventy and seven times.
若杀该隐, 遭报七倍, 杀拉麦, 必遭报七十七倍.

4:25 Then Adam knew his wife again, and she gave birth to a son. And she called his name Seth, for she said “God has appointed to me another child in the place of Abel, because Cain killed him.”
亚当又与妻子同房, 她就生了一个儿子, 起名叫塞特, 意思说: “神另给我立了一个儿子代替亚伯, 因为该隐杀了他. ”

4:26 And as for Seth, he also fathered a son, and he called his name Enosh. At that time he began to call on the name of Yahweh.
塞特也生了一个儿子, 起名叫以挪士. 那时候, 人才求告耶和华的名.

Genesis - Chapter 6

6:1 And it happened that, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the ground, daughters were born to them.
当人在世上多起来,又生女儿的时候,

6:2 Then the sons of God saw the daughters of humankind, that they were beautiful. And they took for themselves wives from all that they chose.
神的儿子们看见人的女子美貌, 就随意挑选, 娶来为妻.

6:3 And Yahweh said, “My Spirit shall not abide with humankind forever in that he is also flesh. And his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
耶和华说: “人既属乎血气, 我的灵就不永远住在他里面; 然而他的日子还可到一百二十年. ”

6:4 The Nephilim were upon the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went into the daughters of humankind, and they bore children to them.
那时候有伟人在地上, 后来神的儿子们和人的女子们交合生子; 那就是上古英武有名的人.

6:5 And Yahweh saw that the evil of humankind was great upon the earth, and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was always only evil.
耶和华见人在地上罪恶很大, 终日所思想的尽都是恶,

6:6 And Yahweh regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
耶和华就后悔造人在地上, 心中忧伤.

6:7 And Yahweh said, “I will destroy humankind whom I created from upon the face of the earth, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven, for I regret that I have made them.”
耶和华说: “我要将所造的人和走兽, 并昆虫, 以及空中的飞鸟, 都从地上除灭, 因为我造他们后悔了. ”

6:8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
惟有挪亚在耶和华眼前蒙恩.

6:9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, without defect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
挪亚的后代记在下面. 挪亚是个义人, 在当时的世代是个完全人. 挪亚与神同行.

6:10 And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
挪亚生了三个儿子, 就是闪,含,雅弗.

6:11 And the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
世界在神面前败坏, 地上满了强暴.

6:12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
神观看世界, 见是败坏了; 凡有血气的人在地上都败坏了行为.

6:13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth was filled with violence because of them. Now, look, I am going to destroy them along with the earth.
神就对挪亚说: “凡有血气的人, 他的尽头已经来到我面前; 因为地上满了他们的强暴, 我要把他们和地一并毁灭.

6:14 Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood; you must make the ark with rooms, then you must cover it with pitch, inside and outside.
你要用歌斐木造一只方舟, 分一间一间地造, 里外抹上松香.

6:15 And this is how you must make it: the length of the ark, three hundred cubits; its width fifty cubits; its height, thirty cubits.
方舟的造法乃是这样: 要长三百肘, 宽五十肘, 高三十肘.

6:16 You must make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above. And as for the door of the ark, you must put it in its side. You must make it with a lower, second, and a third deck.
方舟上边要留透光处, 高一肘. 方舟的门要开在旁边. 方舟要分上,中,下三层.

6:17 And I, behold, I am about to bring the flood waters over the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.
看哪, 我要使洪水泛滥在地上, 毁灭天下; 凡地上有血肉,有气息的活物, 无一不死.

6:18 And I will establish my covenant with you, and you must go into the ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and the wives of your sons with you.
我却要与你立约; 你同你的妻, 与儿子儿妇, 都要进入方舟.

6:19 And of every living thing, from all flesh, you must bring two from every kind into the ark to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
凡有血肉的活物, 每样两个, 一公一母, 你要带进方舟, 好在你那里保全生命.

6:20 From the birds according to their kind, and from the animals according to their kind, from every creeping thing on the ground according to its kind—two from every kind shall come to you to keep them alive.
飞鸟各从其类, 牲畜各从其类, 地上的昆虫各从其类, 每样两个, 要到你那里, 好保全生命.

6:21 And as for you, take for yourself from every kind of food that is eaten. And you must gather it to yourself. And it shall be for you and for them for food.”
你要拿各样食物积蓄起来, 好作你和牠们的食物. ”

6:22 And Noah did according to all that God commanded him; thus he did.
挪亚就这样行. 凡神所吩咐的, 他都照样行了.

Genesis - Chapter 7

7:1 Then Yahweh said to Noah, “Go—you and all your household—into the ark, for I have seen you are righteous before me in this generation.
耶和华对挪亚说: “你和你的全家都要进入方舟; 因为在这世代中, 我见你在我面前是义人.

7:2 From all the clean animals you must take for yourself seven pairs, a male and its mate. And from the animals that are not clean you must take two, a male and its mate,
凡洁净的畜类, 你要带七公七母; 不洁净的畜类, 你要带一公一母;

7:3 as well as from the birds of heaven seven pairs, male and female, to keep their kind alive on the face of the earth.
空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母, 可以留种, 活在全地上;

7:4 For within seven days I will send rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will blot out all the living creatures that I have made from upon the face of the ground.”
因为再过七天, 我要降雨在地上四十昼夜, 把我所造的各种活物都从地上除灭. ”

7:5 And Noah did according to all that Yahweh commanded him.
挪亚就遵著耶和华所吩咐的行了.

7:6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood waters came upon the earth.
当洪水泛滥在地上的时候, 挪亚整六百岁.

7:7 And Noah and his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.
挪亚就同他的妻和儿子儿妇都进入方舟, 躲避洪水.

7:8 Of clean animals, and of animals which are not clean, and of the birds, and everything that creeps upon the ground,
洁净的畜类和不洁净的畜类, 飞鸟并地上一切的昆虫,

7:9 two of each went to Noah, into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
都是一对一对地, 有公有母, 到挪亚那里进入方舟, 正如神所吩咐挪亚的.

7:10 And it happened that after seven days the waters of the flood came over the earth.
过了那七天, 洪水泛滥在地上.

7:11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month—on that day all the springs of the great deep were split open, and the windows of heaven were opened.
当挪亚六百岁, 二月十七日那一天, 大渊的泉源都裂开了, 天上的窗户也敞开了,

7:12 And the rain came upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
四十昼夜降大雨在地上.

7:13 On this same day, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,
正当那日, 挪亚和他三个儿子闪,含,雅弗, 并挪亚的妻子和三个儿妇, 都进入方舟.

7:14 they and all the living creatures according to their kind, and all the domesticated animals according to their kind, and all the creatures that creep upon the earth according to their kind, all the birds according to their kind, every winged creature.
他们和百兽, 各从其类, 一切牲畜, 各从其类, 爬在地上的昆虫, 各从其类, 一切禽鸟, 各从其类, 都进入方舟.

7:15 And they came to Noah to the ark, two of each, from every living thing in which was the breath of life.
凡有血肉,有气息的活物, 都一对一对地到挪亚那里, 进入方舟.

7:16 And those that came, male and female, of every living thing, came as God had commanded him. And Yahweh shut the door behind him.
凡有血肉进入方舟的, 都是有公有母, 正如神所吩咐挪亚的. 耶和华就把他关在方舟里头.

7:17 And the flood came forty days and forty nights upon the earth. And the waters increased, and lifted the ark, and it rose up from the earth.
洪水泛滥在地上四十天, 水往上长, 把方舟从地上漂起.

7:18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark went upon the surface of the waters.
水势浩大, 在地上大大地往上长, 方舟在水面上漂来漂去.

7:19 And the waters prevailed overwhelmingly upon the earth, and they covered all the high mountains which were under the entire heaven.
水势在地上极其浩大, 天下的高山都淹没了.

7:20 The waters swelled fifteen cubits above the mountains, covering them.
水势比山高过十五肘, 山岭都淹没了.

7:21 And every living thing that moved on the earth perished—the birds, and the domesticated animals, and the wild animals, and everything that swarmed on the earth, and all humankind.
凡在地上有血肉的动物, 就是飞鸟,牲畜,走兽, 和爬在地上的昆虫, 以及所有的人, 都死了.

7:22 Everything in whose nostrils was the breath of life, among all that was on dry land, died.
凡在旱地上,鼻孔有气息的生灵都死了.

7:23 And he blotted out every living thing upon the surface of the ground, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained.
凡地上各类的活物, 连人带牲畜,昆虫, 以及空中的飞鸟, 都从地上除灭了, 只留下挪亚和那些与他同在方舟里的.

7:24 And the waters prevailed over the earth one hundred and fifty days.
水势浩大, 在地上共一百五十天.

Genesis - Chapter 8

8:1 And God remembered Noah and all the wild animals, and all the domesticated animals that were with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
神记念挪亚和挪亚方舟里的一切走兽牲畜. 神叫风吹地, 水势渐落.

8:2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
渊源和天上的窗户都闭塞了, 天上的大雨也止住了.

8:3 And the waters receded from the earth gradually, and the waters abated at the end of one hundred and fifty days.
水从地上渐退. 过了一百五十天, 水就渐消.

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

8:5 And the waters continued to recede to the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
水又渐消, 到十月初一日, 山顶都现出来了.

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

8:7 And he sent out a raven; it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from upon the earth.
放出一只乌鸦去; 那乌鸦飞来飞去, 直到地上的水都干了.

8:8 And he sent out a dove to see whether the waters had subsided from upon the ground.
他又放出一只鸽子去, 要看看水从地上退了没有.

8:9 But the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the earth. And he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
但遍地上都是水, 鸽子找不著落脚之地, 就回到方舟挪亚那里, 挪亚伸手把鸽子接进方舟来.

8:10 And he waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
他又等了七天, 再把鸽子从方舟放出去.

8:11 And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly-picked olive tree leaf was in her mouth. And Noah knew that the waters had subsided from upon the earth.
到了晚上, 鸽子回到他那里, 嘴里叼著一个新拧下来的橄榄叶子, 挪亚就知道地上的水退了.

8:12 And he waited seven more days, and he sent out the dove. But it did not return again to him.
他又等了七天, 放出鸽子去, 鸽子就不再回来了.

8:13 And it happened that, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters dried up from upon the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And behold, the face of the ground was dried up.
到挪亚六百零一岁, 正月初一日, 地上的水都干了. 挪亚撤去方舟的盖观看, 便见地面上干了.

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

8:15 And God spoke to Noah, saying:
神对挪亚说:

8:16 “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
“你和你的妻子,儿子,儿妇都可以出方舟.

8:17 Bring out with you all the living things which are with you, from all the living creatures—birds, and animals, and everything that creeps on the earth, and let them swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
在你那里凡有血肉的活物, 就是飞鸟,牲畜, 和一切爬在地上的昆虫, 都要带出来, 叫牠在地上多多滋生, 大大兴旺. ”

8:18 So Noah went out, with his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
于是挪亚和他的妻子,儿子,儿妇都出来了.

8:19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, and everything that moves upon the earth, according to its families, went out from the ark.
一切走兽,昆虫,飞鸟, 和地上所有的动物, 各从其类, 也都出了方舟.

8:20 And Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and he took from all the clean animals and from all the clean birds, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
挪亚为耶和华筑了一座坛, 拿各类洁净的牲畜,飞鸟献在坛上为燔祭.

8:21 And Yahweh smelled the soothing fragrance, and Yahweh said to himself, “Never again will I curse the ground for the sake of humankind, because the inclination of the heart of humankind is evil from his youth. Nor will I ever again destroy all life as I have done.
耶和华闻那馨香之气, 就心里说: “我不再因人的缘故咒诅地(人从小时心里怀着恶念), 也不再按著我才行的灭各种的活物了.

8:22 As long as the earth endures, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will not cease.
地还存留的时候, 稼穑,寒暑,冬夏,昼夜就永不停息了. ”

Genesis - Chapter 9

9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
神赐福给挪亚和他的儿子, 对他们说: “你们要生养众多, 遍满了地.

9:2 And fear of you and dread of you shall be upon every animal of the earth, and on every bird of heaven, and on everything that moves upon the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they shall be given.
凡地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟都必惊恐, 惧怕你们, 连地上一切的昆虫并海里一切的鱼都交付你们的手.

9:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be for you as food. As I gave the green plants to you, I have now given you everything.
凡活着的动物都可以作你们的食物. 这一切我都赐给你们, 如同菜蔬一样.

9:4 Only you shall not eat raw flesh with blood in it.
惟独肉带着血, 那就是牠的生命, 你们不可吃.

9:5 And your lifeblood I will require; from every animal I will require it. And from the hand of humankind, from the hand of each man to his brother I will require the life of humankind.
流你们血,害你们命的, 无论是兽是人, 我必讨他的罪, 就是向各人的弟兄也是如此.

9:6 “As for the one shedding the blood of humankind, by humankind his blood shall be shed, for God made humankind in his own image.
凡流人血的, 他的血也必被人所流, 因为神造人是照自己的形像造的.

9:7 “And you, be fruitful and multiply, swarm on the earth and multiply in it.”
你们要生养众多, 在地上昌盛繁茂. ”

9:8 And God said to Noah and to his sons with him,
神晓谕挪亚和他的儿子说:

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

9:10 and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every animal of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark to all the animals of the earth.
并与你们这里的一切活物─就是飞鸟,牲畜,走兽, 凡从方舟里出来的活物─立约.

9:11 I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth.”
我与你们立约, 凡有血肉的, 不再被洪水灭绝, 也不再有洪水毁坏地了. ”

9:12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you, and between every living creature that is with you for future generations.
神说: “我与你们并你们这里的各样活物所立的永约是有记号的.

9:13 My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth.
我把虹放在云彩中, 这就可作我与地立约的记号了.

9:14 And when I make clouds appear over the earth the bow shall be seen in the clouds.
我使云彩盖地的时候, 必有虹现在云彩中,

9:15 Then I will remember my covenant that is between me and you, and between every living creature, with all flesh. And the waters of a flood will never again cause the destruction of all flesh.
我便记念我与你们和各样有血肉的活物所立的约, 水就再不泛滥,毁坏一切有血肉的物了.

9:16 The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will see it, so as to remember the everlasting covenant between God and between every living creature, with all flesh that is upon the earth.”
虹必现在云彩中, 我看见, 就要记念我与地上各样有血肉的活物所立的永约. ”

9:17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am establishing between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
神对挪亚说: “这就是我与地上一切有血肉之物立约的记号了. ”

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

9:19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
这是挪亚的三个儿子, 他们的后裔分散在全地.

9:20 And Noah began to be a man of the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
挪亚作起农夫来, 栽了一个葡萄园.

9:21 And he drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he exposed himself in the midst of his tent.
他喝了园中的酒便醉了, 在帐棚里赤著身子.

9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and he told his two brothers outside.
迦南的父亲含看见他父亲赤身, 就到外边告诉他两个弟兄.

9:23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, and the two of them put it on their shoulders and, walking backward, they covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see the nakedness of their father.
于是闪和雅弗拿件衣服搭在肩上, 倒退著进去, 给他父亲盖上; 他们背着脸就看不见父亲的赤身.

9:24 Then Noah awoke from his drunkenness, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
挪亚醒了酒, 知道小儿子向他所做的事,

9:25 And he said, “Cursed be Canaan, a slave of slaves he shall be to his brothers.”
就说: 迦南当受咒诅, 必给他弟兄作奴仆的奴仆;

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

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

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

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

11:1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
那时, 天下人的口音,言语都是一样.

11:2 And as people migrated from the east they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
他们往东边迁移的时候, 在示拿地遇见一片平原, 就住在那里.

11:3 And they said to each other, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone and they had tar for mortar.
他们彼此商量说: “来吧! 我们要做砖, 把砖烧透了. ”他们就拿砖当石头, 又拿石漆当灰泥.

11:4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top reaches to the heavens. And let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
他们说: “来吧! 我们要建造一座城和一座塔, 塔顶通天, 为要传扬我们的名, 免得我们分散在全地上. ”

11:5 Then Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that humankind was building.
耶和华降临, 要看看世人所建造的城和塔.

11:6 And Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people with one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. So now nothing that they intend to do will be impossible for them.
耶和华说: “看哪, 他们成为一样的人民, 都是一样的言语, 如今既做起这事来, 以后他们所要做的事就没有不成就的了.

11:7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand each other’s language.”
我们下去, 在那里变乱他们的口音, 使他们的言语彼此不通. ”

11:8 So Yahweh scattered them from there over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.
于是耶和华使他们从那里分散在全地上; 他们就停工, 不造那城了.

11:9 Therefore its name was called Babel, for there Yahweh confused the language of the whole earth, and there Yahweh scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语, 使众人分散在全地上, 所以那城名叫巴别【就是变乱的意思】.

Genesis - Chapter 12

12:1 And Yahweh said to Abram, “Go out from your land and from your relatives, and from the house of your father, to the land that I will show you.
耶和华对亚伯兰说: “你要离开本地,本族,父家, 往我所要指示你的地去.

12:2 And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great. And you will be a blessing.
我必叫你成为大国. 我必赐福给你, 叫你的名为大; 你也要叫别人得福.

12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse. And all families of the earth will be blessed in you.”
为你祝福的, 我必赐福与他; 那咒诅你的, 我必咒诅他. 地上的万族都要因你得福. ”

12:4 And Abram went out as Yahweh had told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he went out from Haran.
亚伯兰就照着耶和华的吩咐去了; 罗得也和他同去. 亚伯兰出哈兰的时候年七十五岁.

12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and all the persons that they had acquired in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan. And they went to the land of Canaan.
亚伯兰将他妻子撒莱和姪儿罗得, 连他们在哈兰所积蓄的财物,所得的人口, 都带往迦南地去. 他们就到了迦南地.

12:6 And Abram traveled through the land up to the place of Shechem, to the Oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time.
亚伯兰经过那地, 到了示剑地方,摩利橡树那里. 那时迦南人住在那地.

12:7 And Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” And he built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
耶和华向亚伯兰显现, 说: “我要把这地赐给你的后裔. ”亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛.

12:8 And he moved on from there to the hill country, east of Bethel. And he pitched his tent at Bethel on the west, and at Ai on the east. And he built an altar there to Yahweh. And he called on the name of Yahweh.
从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山, 支搭帐棚; 西边是伯特利, 东边是艾. 他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛, 求告耶和华的名.

12:9 And Abram kept moving on, toward the Negev.
后来亚伯兰又渐渐迁往南地去.

12:10 And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to dwell as an alien there, for the famine was severe in the land.
那地遭遇饥荒. 因饥荒甚大, 亚伯兰就下埃及去, 要在那里暂居.

12:11 And it happened that as he drew near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “Look now, I know that you are a woman beautiful of appearance,
将近埃及, 就对他妻子撒莱说: “我知道你是容貌俊美的妇人.

12:12 and it shall happen that, if the Egyptians see you, then they will say, ‘This is his wife,’ then they will kill me but let you live.
埃及人看见你必说: ‘这是他的妻子’, 他们就要杀我, 却叫你存活.

12:13 Please say you are my sister so that it will go well for me on your account. Then I will live on account of you.”
求你说, 你是我的妹子, 使我因你得平安, 我的命也因你存活. ”

12:14 And it happened that as Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.
及至亚伯兰到了埃及, 埃及人看见那妇人极其美貌.

12:15 And the officials of Pharaoh saw her, and they praised her beauty to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh.
法老的臣宰看见了她, 就在法老面前夸奖她. 那妇人就被带进法老的宫去.

12:16 And he dealt well with Abram on account of her, and he had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
法老因这妇人就厚待亚伯兰, 亚伯兰得了许多牛,羊,骆驼,公驴,母驴,仆婢.

12:17 Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues on account of the matter of Sarai the wife of Abram.
耶和华因亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故, 降大灾与法老和他的全家.

12:18 Then Pharaoh called for Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
法老就召了亚伯兰来, 说: “你这向我做的是甚么事呢? 为甚么没有告诉我她是你的妻子?

12:19 Why did you say ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to myself as a wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go.”
为甚么说她是你的妹子, 以致我把她取来要作我的妻子? 现在你的妻子在这里, 可以带她走吧. ”

12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and then sent him and his wife and all that was with him away.
于是法老吩咐人将亚伯兰和他妻子, 并他所有的都送走了.

Genesis - Chapter 13

13:1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that was with him. And Lot went with him to the Negev.
亚伯兰带着他的妻子与罗得, 并一切所有的, 都从埃及上南地去.

13:2 Now Abram was very wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
亚伯兰的金,银,牲畜极多.

13:3 And he went according to his journey from the Negev, then to Bethel, to the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
他从南地渐渐往伯特利去, 到了伯特利和艾的中间, 就是从前支搭帐棚的地方,

13:4 to the place where he had made an altar at the beginning. And Abram called on the name of Yahweh there.
也是他起先筑坛的地方; 他又在那里求告耶和华的名.

13:5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had herds and tents.
与亚伯兰同行的罗得也有牛群,羊群,帐棚.

13:6 And the land could not support them so as to live together, because their possessions were so many that they were not able to live together.
那地容不下他们; 因为他们的财物甚多, 使他们不能同居.

13:7 And there was a quarrel between the herdsmen of the livestock of Abram and the herdsmen of the livestock of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land.
当时, 迦南人与比利洗人在那地居住. 亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人相争.

13:8 Then Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there not be quarreling between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we men are brothers.
亚伯兰就对罗得说: “你我不可相争, 你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争, 因为我们是骨肉(原文是弟兄).

13:9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you want what is on the left, then I will go right; if you want what is on the right, I will go left.”
遍地不都在你眼前吗? 请你离开我: 你向左, 我就向右; 你向右, 我就向左. ”

13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw the whole plain of the Jordan, that all of it was well-watered land—this was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt in the direction of Zoar.
罗得举目看见约旦河的全平原, 直到琐珥, 都是滋润的, 那地在耶和华未灭所多玛,蛾摩拉以先如同耶和华的园子, 也像埃及地.

13:11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan. And Lot journeyed from the east, and so they separated from each other.
于是罗得选择约旦河的全平原, 往东迁移; 他们就彼此分离了.

13:12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, and Lot settled in the cities of the plain. And he pitched his tent toward Sodom.
亚伯兰住在迦南地, 罗得住在平原的城邑, 渐渐挪移帐棚, 直到所多玛.

13:13 Now the men of Sodom were extremely wicked sinners against Yahweh.
所多玛人在耶和华面前罪大恶极.

13:14 And Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are to the north, and to the south, and to the east and to the west,
罗得离别亚伯兰以后, 耶和华对亚伯兰说: “从你所在的地方, 你举目向东西南北观看;

13:15 for all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your descendants, forever.
凡你所看见的一切地, 我都要赐给你和你的后裔, 直到永远.

13:16 I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth which, if anyone were able to count the dust of the earth, your descendants would be so counted.
我也要使你的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多, 人若能数算地上的尘沙才能数算你的后裔.

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

13:18 So Abram pitched his tent, and he came and settled at the oaks of Mamre, which were at Hebron. And there he built an altar to Yahweh.
亚伯兰就搬了帐棚, 来到希伯仑幔利的橡树那里居住, 在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛.

Genesis - Chapter 14

14:1 And it happened that in the days of Amraphel, the king of Shinar, Arioch, the king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, the king of Elam, and Tidal, the king of Goiim,
当暗拉非作示拿王, 亚略作以拉撒王, 基大老玛作以拦王, 提达作戈印王的时候,

14:2 made war with Bera, the king of Sodom, and Birsha, the king of Gomorrah, Shinab, the king of Admah, and Shemeber, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
他们都攻打所多玛王比拉,蛾摩拉王比沙,押玛王示纳,洗扁王善以别, 和比拉王; 比拉就是琐珥.

14:3 All these joined forces at the valley of Siddim (that is, the sea of the salt).
这五王都在西订谷会合; 西订谷就是盐海.

14:4 Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
他们已经事奉基大老玛十二年, 到十三年就背叛了.

14:5 In the fourteenth year Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kiriathaim,
十四年, 基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律‧加宁, 杀败了利乏音人, 在哈麦杀败了苏西人, 在沙微‧基列亭杀败了以米人,

14:6 And the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El-Paran, which is at the wilderness.
在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人, 一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒‧巴兰.

14:7 Then they turned back and came to En-Mishpat (that is, Kadesh). And they defeated the whole territory of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were living in Hazazon-Tamar.
他们回到安‧密巴, 就是加低斯, 杀败了亚玛力全地的人, 以及住在哈洗逊‧他玛的亚摩利人.

14:8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they took up battle position in the Valley of Siddim
于是所多玛王,蛾摩拉王,押玛王,洗扁王, 和比拉王(比拉就是琐珥)都出来, 在西订谷摆阵, 与他们交战,

14:9 with Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar, four kings against five.
就是与以拦王基大老玛,戈印王提达,示拿王暗拉非,以拉撒王亚略交战; 乃是四王与五王交战.

14:10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell into them, but the rest fled to the mountains.
西订谷有许多石漆坑. 所多玛王和蛾摩拉王逃跑, 有掉在坑里的, 其余的人都往山上逃跑.

14:11 So they took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and they left.
四王就把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物, 并一切的粮食都掳掠去了;

14:12 And they took Lot, the son of the brother of Abram, and his possessions, and left. (Now he had been living in Sodom.)
又把亚伯兰的姪儿罗得和罗得的财物掳掠去了. 当时罗得正住在所多玛.

14:13 Then one who escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he was living at the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies with Abram.
有一个逃出来的人告诉希伯来人亚伯兰; 亚伯兰正住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里. 幔利和以实各并亚乃都是弟兄, 曾与亚伯兰联盟.

14:14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he summoned his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen of them, and he went in pursuit up to Dan.
亚伯兰听见他姪儿【原文是弟兄】被掳去, 就率领他家里生养的精练壮丁三百一十八人, 直追到但,

14:15 And he divided his trained men against them at night, he and his servants. And he defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
便在夜间, 自己同仆人分队杀败敌人, 又追到大马士革北边的何把,

14:16 And he brought back all the possessions. And he also brought back Lot, his relative, and his possessions, and the women and the people as well.
将被掳掠的一切财物夺回来, 连他姪儿罗得和他的财物, 以及妇女,人民也都夺回来.

14:17 After his return from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the Valley of the King).
亚伯兰杀败基大老玛和与他同盟的王回来的时候, 所多玛王出来, 在沙微谷迎接他; 沙微谷就是王谷.

14:18 And Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. (He was the priest of God Most High).
又有撒冷王麦基洗德带着饼和酒出来迎接; 他是至高神的祭司.

14:19 And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth.
他为亚伯兰祝福, 说: “愿天地的主,至高的神赐福与亚伯兰!

14:20 And blessed be God Most High who delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave to him a tenth of everything.
至高的神把敌人交在你手里, 是应当称颂的! ”亚伯兰就把所得的拿出十分之一来, 给麦基洗德.

14:21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but the possessions take for yourself.”
所多玛王对亚伯兰说: “你把人口给我, 财物你自己拿去吧! ”

14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
亚伯兰对所多玛王说: “我已经向天地的主─至高的神耶和华起誓:

14:23 that neither a thread nor a thong of a sandal would I take from all that belongs to you, that you might not say, ‘I made Abram rich.’
凡是你的东西, 就是一根线,一根鞋带, 我都不拿, 免得你说: ‘我使亚伯兰富足! ’

14:24 Nothing besides what the servants have eaten and the share of the men who went out with me will I take. Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share.”
只有仆人所吃的, 并与我同行的亚乃,以实各,幔利所应得的分, 可以任凭他们拿去. ”

Genesis - Chapter 15

15:1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying: “Do not be afraid, Abram; I am your shield, and your reward shall be very great.”
这事以后, 耶和华在异象中有话对亚伯兰说: “亚伯兰, 你不要惧怕! 我是你的盾牌, 必大大地赏赐你. ”

15:2 Then Abram said, “O Yahweh, my Lord, what will you give me? I continue to be childless, and my heir is Eliezer of Damascus.”
亚伯兰说: “主耶和华啊, 我既无子, 你还赐我甚么呢? 并且要承受我家业的是大马士革人以利以谢. ”

15:3 And Abram said, “Look, you have not given me a descendant, and here, a member of my household is my heir.”
亚伯兰又说: “你没有给我儿子; 那生在我家中的人就是我的后嗣. ”

15:4 And behold, the word of Yahweh came to him saying, “This person will not be your heir, but your own son will be your heir.”
耶和华又有话对他说: “这人必不成为你的后嗣; 你本身所生的才成为你的后嗣. ”

15:5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward the heavens and count the stars if you are able to count them.” And he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
于是领他走到外边, 说: “你向天观看, 数算众星, 能数得过来吗? ”又对他说: “你的后裔将要如此. ”

15:6 And he believed in Yahweh, and he reckoned it to him as righteousness.
亚伯兰信耶和华, 耶和华就以此为他的义.

15:7 And he said to him, “I am Yahweh, who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give this land to you, to possess it.”
耶和华又对他说: “我是耶和华, 曾领你出了迦勒底的吾珥, 为要将这地赐你为业. ”

15:8 And he said, “O Yahweh God, how shall I know that I will possess it?”
亚伯兰说: “主耶和华啊, 我怎能知道必得这地为业呢? ”

15:9 And he said to him, “Take for me a three-year-old heifer, and a three-year-old female goat, and a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove and a young pigeon.”
他说: “你为我取一只三年的母牛, 一只三年的母山羊, 一只三年的公绵羊, 一只斑鸠, 一只雏鸽. ”

15:10 And he took for him all these and cut them in pieces down the middle. And he put each piece opposite the other, but the birds he did not cut.
亚伯兰就取了这些来, 每样劈开, 分成两半, 一半对着一半地摆列, 只有鸟没有劈开.

15:11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
有鸷鸟下来, 落在那死畜的肉上, 亚伯兰就把牠吓飞了.

15:12 And it happened, as the sun went down, then a deep sleep fell upon Abram and, behold, a great terrifying darkness fell upon him.
日头正落的时候, 亚伯兰沉沉地睡了; 忽然有惊人的大黑暗落在他身上.

15:13 And he said to Abram, “You must surely know that your descendants shall be as aliens in a land not their own. And they shall serve them and they shall oppress them four hundred years.
耶和华对亚伯兰说: “你要的确知道, 你的后裔必寄居别人的地, 又服事那地的人; 那地的人要苦待他们四百年.

15:14 And also the nation that they serve I will judge. Then afterward they shall go out with great possessions.
并且他们所要服事的那国, 我要惩罚, 后来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来.

15:15 And as for you, you shall go to your ancestors in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
但你要享大寿数, 平平安安地归到你列祖那里, 被人埋葬.

15:16 And the fourth generation shall return here, for the guilt of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
到了第四代, 他们必回到此地, 因为亚摩利人的罪孽还没有满盈. ”

15:17 And after the sun had gone down and it was dusk, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between those half pieces.
日落天黑, 不料有冒烟的炉并烧著的火把从那些肉块中经过.

15:18 On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram saying, “To your offspring I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates river,
当那日, 耶和华与亚伯兰立约, 说: “我已赐给你的后裔, 从埃及河直到幼发拉底大河之地,

15:19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
就是基尼人,基尼洗人,甲摩尼人,

15:20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
赫人,比利洗人,利乏音人,

15:21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
亚摩利人,迦南人,革迦撒人,耶布斯人之地. ”

Genesis - Chapter 16

16:1 Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had borne him no children. And she had a female Egyptian servant, and her name was Hagar.
亚伯兰的妻子撒莱不给他生儿女. 撒莱有一个使女, 名叫夏甲, 是埃及人.

16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Look, please, Yahweh has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my servant; perhaps I will have children by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
撒莱对亚伯兰说: “耶和华使我不能生育. 求你和我的使女同房, 或者我可以因她得孩子(得孩子: 原文是被建立)”. 亚伯兰听从了撒莱的话.

16:3 Then Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, her Egyptian servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband as his wife.
于是亚伯兰的妻子撒莱将使女埃及人夏甲给了丈夫为妾; 那时亚伯兰在迦南已经住了十年.

16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, then her mistress grew small in her eyes.
亚伯兰与夏甲同房, 夏甲就怀了孕; 她见自己有孕, 就小看她的主母.

16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, “may my harm be upon you. I had my servant sleep with you, and when she saw that she had conceived, she no longer respected me. May Yahweh judge between me and you!”
撒莱对亚伯兰说: “我因你受屈. 我将我的使女放在你怀中, 她见自己有了孕, 就小看我. 愿耶和华在你我中间判断. ”

16:6 And Abram said to Sarai, “Look, your servant is under your authority. Do to her that which is good in your eyes.” And Sarai mistreated her, and she fled from her presence.
亚伯兰对撒莱说: “使女在你手下, 你可以随意待她. ”撒莱苦待她, 她就从撒莱面前逃走了.

16:7 And the angel of Yahweh found her at a spring of water in the wilderness, at the spring by the road of Shur.
耶和华的使者在旷野书珥路上的水泉旁遇见她,

16:8 And he said to Hagar, the servant of Sarai, “From where have you come, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am fleeing from the presence of Sarai my mistress.”
对她说: “撒莱的使女夏甲, 你从哪里来? 要往哪里去? ”夏甲说: “我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出来. ”

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

16:10 And the angel of Yahweh said to her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, so that they cannot be counted for their abundance.”
又说: “我必使你的后裔极其繁多, 甚至不可胜数”;

16:11 And the angel of Yahweh said to her: “Behold, you are pregnant and shall have a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, for Yahweh has listened to your suffering.
并说: “你如今怀孕要生一个儿子, 可以给他起名叫以实玛利(就是神听见的意思), 因为耶和华听见了你的苦情.

16:12 And he shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and the hand of everyone will be against him, and he will live in hostility with all his brothers.”
他为人必像野驴. 他的手要攻打人, 人的手也要攻打他; 他必住在众弟兄的东边. ”

16:13 So she called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are El-Roi,” for she said, “Here I have seen after he who sees me.”
夏甲就称那对她说话的耶和华为“看顾人的神”. 因而说: “在这里我也看见那看顾我的吗? ”

16:14 Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-Roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
所以这井名叫庇耳‧拉海‧莱. 这井正在加低斯和巴列中间.

16:15 And Hagar had a child for Abram, a son. And Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore to him, Ishmael.
后来夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子; 亚伯兰给他起名叫以实玛利.

16:16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
夏甲给亚伯兰生以实玛利的时候, 亚伯兰年八十六岁.

Genesis - Chapter 17

17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old Yahweh appeared to Abram. And he said to him, “I am El-Shaddai; walk before me and be blameless
亚伯兰年九十九岁的时候, 耶和华向他显现, 对他说: “我是全能的神. 你当在我面前作完全人,

17:2 so that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you exceedingly.”
我就与你立约, 使你的后裔极其繁多. ”

17:3 Then Abram fell upon his face and God spoke with him, saying,
亚伯兰俯伏在地; 神又对他说: “

17:4 “As for me, behold, my covenant shall be with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
我与你立约: 你要作多国的父.

17:5 Your name shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.
从此以后, 你的名不再叫亚伯兰, 要叫亚伯拉罕, 因为我已立你作多国的父.

17:6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful. I will make you a nation, and kings shall go out from you.
我必使你的后裔极其繁多; 国度从你而立, 君王从你而出.

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

17:8 And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land in which you are living as an alien, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting property. And I will be to them as God.”
我要将你现在寄居的地, 就是迦南全地, 赐给你和你的后裔永远为业, 我也必作他们的神. ”

17:9 And God said to Abraham, “Now as for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you, throughout their generations.
神又对亚伯拉罕说: “你和你的后裔必世世代代遵守我的约.

17:10 This is my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you, and also with your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
你们所有的男子都要受割礼; 这就是我与你并你的后裔所立的约, 是你们所当遵守的.

17:11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
你们都要受割礼【原文是割阳皮; 14, 23, 24, 25节同】; 这是我与你们立约的证据.

17:12 And at eight days of age you shall yourselves circumcise every male belonging to your generations and the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner who is not from your offspring.
你们世世代代的男子, 无论是家里生的, 是在你后裔之外用银子从外人买的, 生下来第八日, 都要受割礼.

你家里生的和你用银子买的, 都必须受割礼. 这样, 我的约就立在你们肉体上作永远的约.

17:14 And as for any uncircumcised male who has not circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.
但不受割礼的男子必从民中剪除, 因他背了我的约. ”

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

17:16 And I will bless her; moreover, I give to you from her a son. And I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations. Kings of peoples shall come from her.”
我必赐福给她, 也要使你从她得一个儿子. 我要赐福给她, 她也要作多国之母; 必有百姓的君王从她而出. ”

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

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

17:19 And God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear a son for you, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant to his offspring after him.
神说: “不然, 你妻子撒拉要给你生一个儿子, 你要给他起名叫以撒. 我要与他坚定所立的约, 作他后裔永远的约.

17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I will bless him and I will make him fruitful, and I will multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
至于以实玛利, 我也应允你: 我必赐福给他, 使他昌盛, 极其繁多. 他必生十二个族长; 我也要使他成为大国.

17:21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this appointed time next year.”
到明年这时节, 撒拉必给你生以撒, 我要与他坚定所立的约. ”

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

17:23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son and all who were born of his house, and all those acquired by his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the same day that God spoke with him.
正当那日, 亚伯拉罕遵著神的命, 给他的儿子以实玛利和家里的一切男子, 无论是在家里生的, 是用银子买的, 都行了割礼.

Genesis - Chapter 18

18:1 And Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he was sitting in the doorway of the tent at the heat of the day.
耶和华在幔利橡树那里向亚伯拉罕显现出来. 那时正热, 亚伯拉罕坐在帐棚门口,

18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men were standing near him. And he saw them and ran from the doorway of the tent to meet them. And he bowed down to the ground.
举目观看, 见有三个人在对面站着. 他一见, 就从帐棚门口跑去迎接他们, 俯伏在地,

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

18:4 Let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest under the tree.
容我拿点水来, 你们洗洗脚, 在树下歇息歇息.

18:5 And let me bring a piece of bread, then refresh yourselves. Afterward you can pass on, once you have passed by with your servant.” Then they said, “Do so as you have said.”
我再拿一点饼来, 你们可以加添心力, 然后往前去. 你们既到仆人这里来, 理当如此. ”他们说: “就照你说的行吧. ”

18:6 Then Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and he said, “Quickly—make three seahs of fine flour for kneading and make bread cakes!”
亚伯拉罕急忙进帐棚见撒拉, 说: “你速速拿三细亚细面调和做饼. ”

18:7 And Abraham ran to the cattle and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, and he made haste to prepare it.
亚伯拉罕又跑到牛群里, 牵了一只又嫩又好的牛犊来, 交给仆人, 仆人急忙预备好了.

18:8 Then he took curds and milk, and the calf which he prepared, and set it before them. And he was standing by them under the tree while they ate.
亚伯拉罕又取了奶油和奶, 并预备好的牛犊来, 摆在他们面前, 自己在树下站在旁边, 他们就吃了.

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

18:10 And he said, “I will certainly return to you in the spring, and look, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the doorway of the tent, and which was behind him.
三人中有一位说: “到明年这时候, 我必要回到你这里; 你的妻子撒拉必生一个儿子. ”撒拉在那人后边的帐棚门口也听见了这话.

18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; the way of women had ceased to be for Sarah.
亚伯拉罕和撒拉年纪老迈, 撒拉的月经已断绝了.

18:12 So Sarah laughed to herself saying, “After I am worn out and my husband is old, shall this pleasure be to me?”
撒拉心里暗笑, 说: “我既已衰败, 我主也老迈, 岂能有这喜事呢? ”

18:13 Then Yahweh said to Abraham, “What is this that Sarah laughed, saying, ‘Is it indeed true that I will bear a child, now that I have grown old?’
耶和华对亚伯拉罕说: “撒拉为甚么暗笑, 说: ‘我既已年老, 果真能生养吗? ’

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

18:15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” because she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
撒拉就害怕, 不承认, 说: “我没有笑. ”那位说: “不然, 你实在笑了. ”

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

18:17 Then Yahweh said, “Shall I conceal from Abraham what I am going to do?
耶和华说: “我所要做的事岂可瞒着亚伯拉罕呢?

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

18:19 For I have chosen him, that he will command his children and his household after him that they will keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham that which he said to him.”
我眷顾他, 为要叫他吩咐他的众子和他的眷属遵守我的道, 秉公行义, 使我所应许亚伯拉罕的话都成就了. ”

18:20 Then Yahweh said, “Because the outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very serious,
耶和华说: “所多玛和蛾摩拉的罪恶甚重, 声闻于我.

18:21 I will go down and I will see. Have they done altogether according to its cry of distress which has come to me? If not, I will know.”
我现在要下去, 察看他们所行的, 果然尽像那达到我耳中的声音一样吗? 若是不然, 我也必知道. ”

18:22 And the men turned from there and went toward Sodom. And Abraham was still standing before Yahweh.
二人转身离开那里, 向所多玛去; 但亚伯拉罕仍旧站在耶和华面前.

18:23 And Abraham drew near to Yahweh and said, “Will you also sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
亚伯拉罕近前来, 说: “无论善恶, 你都要剿灭吗?

18:24 If perhaps there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city, will you also sweep them away and not forgive the place on account of the fifty righteous in her midst?
假若那城里有五十个义人, 你还剿灭那地方吗? 不为城里这五十个义人饶恕其中的人吗?

18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing as this, to kill the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous would be as the wicked! Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do justice?”
将义人与恶人同杀, 将义人与恶人一样看待, 这断不是你所行的. 审判全地的主岂不行公义吗? ”

18:26 And Yahweh said, “If I find fifty righteous in Sodom, in the midst of the city, then I will forgive the whole place for their sake.”
耶和华说: “我若在所多玛城里见有五十个义人, 我就为他们的缘故饶恕那地方的众人. ”

18:27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Look, please, I was bold to speak to my Lord, but I am dust and ashes.
亚伯拉罕说: “我虽然是灰尘, 还敢对主说话.

18:28 Perhaps the fifty righteous are lacking five—will you destroy the whole city on account of the five?” And he answered, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
假若这五十个义人短了五个, 你就因为短了五个毁灭全城吗? ”他说: “我在那里若见有四十五个, 也不毁灭那城. ”

18:29 And once again he spoke to him and said, “What if forty are found there?” And he answered, “I will not do it on account of the forty.”
亚伯拉罕又对他说: “假若在那里见有四十个怎么样呢? ”他说: “为这四十个的缘故, 我也不做这事. ”

18:30 And he said, “Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if thirty be found there?” And he answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
亚伯拉罕说: “求主不要动怒, 容我说, 假若在那里见有三十个怎么样呢? ”他说: “我在那里若见有三十个, 我也不做这事. ”

18:31 And he said, “Please, now, I was bold to speak to my Lord. What if twenty be found there?” And he answered, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”
亚伯拉罕说: “我还敢对主说话, 假若在那里见有二十个怎么样呢? ”他说: “为这二十个的缘故, 我也不毁灭那城. ”

18:32 And he said, “Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak only once more. What if ten are found there?” And he answered, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
亚伯拉罕说: “求主不要动怒, 我再说这一次, 假若在那里见有十个呢? ”他说: “为这十个的缘故, 我也不毁灭那城. ”

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

Genesis - Chapter 19

19:1 And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening. And Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom. Then Lot saw them and stood up to meet them. And he bowed down with his face to the ground.
那两个天使晚上到了所多玛; 罗得正坐在所多玛城门口, 看见他们, 就起来迎接, 脸伏于地下拜,

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

19:3 But he urged them strongly, and they turned aside with him and came into his house. And he made a meal for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
罗得切切地请他们, 他们这才进去, 到他屋里. 罗得为他们预备筵席, 烤无酵饼, 他们就吃了.

19:4 Before they laid down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.
他们还没有躺下, 所多玛城里各处的人, 连老带少, 都来围住那房子,

19:5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we may know them.”
呼叫罗得说: “今日晚上到你这里来的人在哪里呢? 把他们带出来, 任我们所为. ”

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

19:7 And he said, “No, my brothers, please do not do such a wrong thing.
说: “众弟兄, 请你们不要做这恶事.

19:8 Behold, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Please, let me bring them out to you; then do to them as it seems good in your eyes. Only to these men do not do this thing, since they came under my roof for protection.”
我有两个女儿, 还是处女, 容我领出来, 任凭你们的心愿而行; 只是这两个人既然到我舍下, 不要向他们做甚么. ”

19:9 But they said, “Step aside!” Then they said, “This fellow came to dwell as a foreigner and he acts as a judge! Now we shall do worse to you than them!” And they pressed very hard against the man, against Lot, and they drew near to break the door.
众人说: “退去吧! ”又说: “这个人来寄居, 还想要作官哪! 现在我们要害你比害他们更甚. ”众人就向前拥挤罗得, 要攻破房门.

19:10 Then the men reached out with their hands and brought Lot in to them, into the house, and they shut the door.
只是那二人伸出手来, 将罗得拉进屋去, 把门关上,

19:11 And the men who were at the entrance of the house they struck with blindness, both small and great, and they were unable to find the entrance.
并且使门外的人, 无论老少, 眼都昏迷; 他们摸来摸去, 总寻不著房门.

19:12 Then the men said to Lot, “Who is here with you? Bring out from the place your sons-in-law, and your sons and your daughters, and all who are with you in the city.
二人对罗得说: “你这里还有甚么人吗? 无论是女婿是儿女, 和这城中一切属你的人, 你都要将他们从这地方带出去.

19:13 For we are about to destroy this place, because their cry has become great before Yahweh. Yahweh sent us to destroy it.”
我们要毁灭这地方; 因为城内罪恶的声音在耶和华面前甚大, 耶和华差我们来, 要毁灭这地方. ”

19:14 Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were taking his daughters and said, “Get up! Go out from this place, because Yahweh is going to destroy the city!” But it seemed like a joke in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
罗得就出去, 告诉娶了(或译: 将要娶)他女儿的女婿们说: “你们起来离开这地方, 因为耶和华要毁灭这城. ”他女婿们却以为他说的是戏言.

19:15 And as the dawn came up the angels urged Lot saying, “Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are staying with you, lest you be destroyed with the punishment of the city.”
天明了, 天使催逼罗得说: “起来! 带着你的妻子和你在这里的两个女儿出去, 免得你因这城里的罪恶同被剿灭. ”

19:16 But when he lingered, the men seized him by his hand and his wife’s hand, and his two daughters by hand, on account of the mercy of Yahweh upon him. And they brought him out and set him outside of the city.
但罗得迟延不走. 二人因为耶和华怜恤罗得, 就拉着他的手和他妻子的手, 并他两个女儿的手, 把他们领出来, 安置在城外;

19:17 And after bringing them outside one said, “Flee for your life; do not look behind you, and do not stand anywhere in the plain. Flee to the mountains lest you be destroyed.”
领他们出来以后, 就说: “逃命吧! 不可回头看, 也不可在平原站住. 要往山上逃跑, 免得你被剿灭. ”

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

19:19 Behold, your servant has found favor in your eyes and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot flee to the mountains, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.
你仆人已经在你眼前蒙恩; 你又向我显出莫大的慈爱, 救我的性命. 我不能逃到山上去, 恐怕这灾祸临到我, 我便死了.

19:20 Behold, this city is near enough to flee there, and it is a little one. Please, let me flee there. Is it not a little one? Then my life shall be saved.”
看哪, 这座城又小又近, 容易逃到, 这不是一个小的吗? 求你容我逃到那里, 我的性命就得存活. ”

19:21 And he said to him, “Behold, I will grant this favor as well; that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
天使对他说: “这事我也应允你; 我不倾覆你所说的这城.

19:22 Escape there quickly, for I cannot do this thing until you get there.” Therefore, there name of the city was called Zoar.
你要速速地逃到那城; 因为你还没有到那里, 我不能做甚么. ”因此那城名叫琐珥(就是小的意思).

19:23 After the sun had risen upon the earth and Lot had entered Zoar,
罗得到了琐珥, 日头已经出来了.

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

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

19:26 But his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
罗得的妻子在后边回头一看, 就变成了一根盐柱.

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

19:28 And he looked down upon the surface of Sodom and Gomorrah, and upon the whole surface of the land, the plain. And he saw that, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a smelting furnace.
向所多玛和蛾摩拉与平原的全地观看, 不料, 那地方烟气上腾, 如同烧窑一般.

19:29 So it was, when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out from the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
当神毁灭平原诸城的时候, 他记念亚伯拉罕, 正在倾覆罗得所住之城的时候, 就打发罗得从倾覆之中出来.

19:30 And Lot went out from Zoar and settled in the hill country with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. So he lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.
罗得因为怕住在琐珥, 就同他两个女儿从琐珥上去, 住在山里; 他和两个女儿住在一个洞里.

19:31 And the firstborn daughter said to the younger one, “Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to come in to us according to the manner of all the land.
大女儿对小女儿说: “我们的父亲老了, 地上又无人按著世上的常规进到我们这里.

19:32 Come, let us give our father wine to drink and let us lie with him that we may secure descendants through our father.”
来! 我们可以叫父亲喝酒, 与他同寝. 这样, 我们好从他存留后裔. ”

19:33 And they gave their father wine to drink that night, and the firstborn went and lay with her father, but he did not know when she lay down or when she got up.
于是, 那夜她们叫父亲喝酒, 大女儿就进去和她父亲同寝; 她几时躺下, 几时起来, 父亲都不知道.

19:34 And it happened that, the next day the firstborn said to the younger one, “Look, I laid with my father last night. Let us give him wine to drink also tonight, then go and lie with him that we may secure descendants through our father.”
第二天, 大女儿对小女儿说: “我昨夜与父亲同寝. 今夜我们再叫他喝酒, 你可以进去与他同寝. 这样, 我们好从父亲存留后裔. ”

19:35 And they gave their father wine to drink again that night, and the younger got up and lay with him, but he did not know when she lay down or when she got up.
于是, 那夜她们又叫父亲喝酒, 小女儿起来与她父亲同寝; 她几时躺下, 几时起来, 父亲都不知道.

19:36 And the two daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.
这样, 罗得的两个女儿都从她父亲怀了孕.

19:37 The firstborn gave birth to a son, and she called his name Moab. He is the father of Moab until this day.
大女儿生了儿子, 给他起名叫摩押, 就是现今摩押人的始祖.

19:38 And the younger, she also gave birth to a son, and she called his name Ben-Ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites until this day.
小女儿也生了儿子, 给他起名叫便‧亚米, 就是现今亚扪人的始祖.

Genesis - Chapter 20

20:1 And Abraham journeyed from there to the land of the Negev, and he settled between Kadesh and Shur. And he dwelled as an alien in Gerar.
亚伯拉罕从那里向南地迁去, 寄居在加低斯和书珥中间的基拉耳.

20:2 And Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
亚伯拉罕称他的妻撒拉为妹子, 基拉耳王亚比米勒差人把撒拉取了去.

20:3 And God came to Abimelech in a dream at night. And he said to him, “Look, you are a dead man on account of the woman you have taken. For she is a married woman.”
但夜间, 神来, 在梦中对亚比米勒说: “你是个死人哪! 因为你取了那女人来; 她原是别人的妻子. ”

20:4 Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, “my Lord, will you even kill a righteous people?”
亚比米勒却还没有亲近撒拉; 他说: “主啊, 连有义的国, 你也要毁灭吗?

20:5 Did not he himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ With integrity of my heart and with cleanness of my hands I did this.”
那人岂不是自己对我说‘她是我的妹子’吗? 就是女人也自己说: ‘他是我的哥哥. ’我做这事是心正手洁的. ”

20:6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore, I did not allow you to touch her.
神在梦中对他说: “我知道你做这事是心中正直; 我也拦阻了你, 免得你得罪我, 所以我不容你沾著她.

20:7 So now, return the wife of the man, for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you and you will live. And if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, and all that are yours.”
现在你把这人的妻子归还他; 因为他是先知, 他要为你祷告, 使你存活. 你若不归还他, 你当知道, 你和你所有的人都必要死. ”

20:8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning. And he called all his servants and told them all these things, and the men were very afraid.
亚比米勒清早起来, 召了众臣仆来, 将这些事都说给他们听, 他们都甚惧怕.

20:9 And Abimelech called for Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you that you brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
亚比米勒召了亚伯拉罕来, 对他说: “你怎么向我这样行呢? 我在甚么事上得罪了你, 你竟使我和我国里的人陷在大罪里? 你向我行不当行的事了! ”

20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What were you thinking that you did this thing?”
亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说: “你见了甚么才做这事呢? ”

20:11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place; they will kill me on account of the matter of my wife.
亚伯拉罕说: “我以为这地方的人总不惧怕神, 必为我妻子的缘故杀我.

20:12 Besides, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.
况且她也实在是我的妹子; 她与我是同父异母, 后来作了我的妻子.

20:13 And it happened that as God caused me to wander from the house of my father I said to her, ‘This is your loyal kindness that you must do for me at every place where we come: say concerning me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”
当神叫我离开父家,飘流在外的时候, 我对她说: ‘我们无论走到甚么地方, 你可以对人说: 他是我的哥哥; 这就是你待我的恩典了. ’”

20:14 And Abimelech took sheep and cattle and male slaves and female slaves, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned Sarah his wife to him.
亚比米勒把牛,羊,仆婢赐给亚伯拉罕, 又把他的妻子撒拉归还他.

20:15 And Abimelech said, “Here is my land before you; settle where it pleases you.”
亚比米勒又说: “看哪, 我的地都在你面前, 你可以随意居住”;

20:16 And to Sarah he said, “Look, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother. It shall be an exoneration. You are vindicated before all who are with you.”
又对撒拉说: “我给你哥哥一千银子, 作为你在合家人面前遮羞的(羞: 原文是眼), 你就在众人面前没有不是了. ”

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

20:18 For Yahweh had completely closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of the matter of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
因耶和华为亚伯拉罕的妻子撒拉的缘故, 已经使亚比米勒家中的妇人不能生育.

Genesis - Chapter 21

21:1 And Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said. And Yahweh did to Sarah as he had promised.
耶和华按著先前的话眷顾撒拉, 便照他所说的给撒拉成就.

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

21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
亚伯拉罕给撒拉所生的儿子起名叫以撒.

21:4 And Abraham circumcised Isaac his son when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
以撒生下来第八日, 亚伯拉罕照着神所吩咐的, 给以撒行了割礼.

21:5 And Abraham was one hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him.
他儿子以撒生的时候, 亚伯拉罕年一百岁.

21:6 And Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; all who hear will laugh for me.”
撒拉说: “神使我喜笑, 凡听见的必与我一同喜笑”;

21:7 And she said, “Who would announce to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne a son to Abraham in his old age.”
又说: “谁能预先对亚伯拉罕说‘撒拉要乳养婴孩’呢? 因为在他年老的时候, 我给他生了一个儿子. ”

21:8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned.
孩子渐长, 就断了奶. 以撒断奶的日子, 亚伯拉罕设摆丰盛的筵席.

21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne Abraham, mocking.
当时, 撒拉看见埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子戏笑,

21:10 Then she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman will not be heir with my son, with Isaac.”
就对亚伯拉罕说: “你把这使女和她儿子赶出去! 因为这使女的儿子不可与我的儿子以撒一同承受产业. ”

21:11 And the matter displeased Abraham very much on account of his son.
亚伯拉罕因他儿子的缘故很忧愁.

21:12 Then God said to Abraham, “Do not be displeased on account of the boy and on account of the slave woman. Listen to everything that Sarah said to you, for through Isaac your offspring will be named.
神对亚伯拉罕说: “你不必为这童子和你的使女忧愁. 凡撒拉对你说的话, 你都该听从; 因为从以撒生的, 才要称为你的后裔.

21:13 And I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation, for he is your offspring.”
至于使女的儿子, 我也必使他的后裔成立一国, 因为他是你所生的. ”

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

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

21:16 And she went and she sat a good distance away, for she said, “Let me not see the child’s death.” So she sat away from him and lifted up her voice and wept.
自己走开约有一箭之远, 相对而坐, 说: “我不忍见孩子死”, 就相对而坐, 放声大哭.

21:17 And God heard the cry of the boy and the angel of God called to Hagar from the heavens and said to her, “What is the matter Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the cry of the boy from where he is.
神听见童子的声音; 神的使者从天上呼叫夏甲说: “夏甲, 你为何这样呢? 不要害怕, 神已经听见童子的声音了.

21:18 Get up, take up the boy and take him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.”
起来! 把童子抱在怀中(怀: 原文是手), 我必使他的后裔成为大国. ”

21:19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave a drink to the boy.
神使夏甲的眼睛明亮, 她就看见一口水井, 便去将皮袋盛满了水, 给童子喝.

21:20 And God was with the boy, and he grew and lived in the wilderness. And he became an expert with a bow.
神保佑童子, 他就渐长, 住在旷野, 成了弓箭手.

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

21:22 And it happened that at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “God is with you, in all that you do.
当那时候, 亚比米勒同他军长非各对亚伯拉罕说: “凡你所行的事都有神的保佑.

21:23 So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal with me falsely, or with my descendants, or my posterity. According to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall pledge to do with me and with the land where you have dwelled as an alien.”
我愿你如今在这里指著神对我起誓, 不要欺负我与我的儿子, 并我的子孙. 我怎样厚待了你, 你也要照样厚待我与你所寄居这地的民. ”

21:24 And Abraham said, “I swear.”
亚伯拉罕说: “我情愿起誓. ”

21:25 Then Abraham complained to Abimelech on account of the well of water that servants of Abimelech had seized.
从前, 亚比米勒的仆人霸占了一口水井, 亚伯拉罕为这事指责亚比米勒.

21:26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who did this thing, neither did you tell me, nor have I heard of it except for today.”
亚比米勒说: “谁做这事, 我不知道, 你也没有告诉我, 今日我才听见了. ”

21:27 And Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech. And the two of them made a covenant.
亚伯拉罕把羊和牛给了亚比米勒, 二人就彼此立约.

21:28 Then Abraham set off seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
亚伯拉罕把七只母羊羔另放在一处.

21:29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe-lambs that you have set off by themselves?”
亚比米勒问亚伯拉罕说: “你把这七只母羊羔另放在一处, 是甚么意思呢? ”

21:30 And he said, “You shall take the seven ewe-lambs from my hand as proof on my behalf that I dug this well.”
他说: “你要从我手里受这七只母羊羔, 作我挖这口井的证据. ”

21:31 Therefore that place is called Beersheba, because there the two of them swore an oath.
所以他给那地方起名叫别是巴(就是盟誓的井的意思), 因为他们二人在那里起了誓.

21:32 And they made a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech, and Phicol his army commander stood and returned to the land of the Philistines.
他们在别是巴立了约, 亚比米勒就同他军长非各起身回非利士地去了.

21:33 And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of Yahweh, the everlasting God.
亚伯拉罕在别是巴栽上一棵垂丝柳树, 又在那里求告耶和华─永生神的名.

亚伯拉罕在非利士人的地寄居了多日.

Genesis - Chapter 22

22:1 And it happened that after these things, God tested Abraham. And he said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
这些事以后, 神要试验亚伯拉罕, 就呼叫他说: “亚伯拉罕! ”他说: “我在这里. ”

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

22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. And he took two of his servants with him, and Isaac his son. And he chopped wood for a burnt offering. And he got up and went to the place which God had told him.
亚伯拉罕清早起来, 备上驴, 带著两个仆人和他儿子以撒, 也劈好了燔祭的柴, 就起身往神所指示他的地方去了.

22:4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw the place at a distance.
到了第三日, 亚伯拉罕举目远远地看见那地方.

22:5 And Abraham said to his servants, “You stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go up there. We will worship, then we will return to you.”
亚伯拉罕对他的仆人说: “你们和驴在此等候, 我与童子往那里去拜一拜, 就回到你们这里来. ”

22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and placed it on Isaac his son. And he took the fire in his hand and the knife, and the two of them went together.
亚伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他儿子以撒身上, 自己手里拿著火与刀; 于是二人同行.

22:7 And Isaac said to Abraham his father, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
以撒对他父亲亚伯拉罕说: “父亲哪! ”亚伯拉罕说: “我儿, 我在这里. ”以撒说: “请看, 火与柴都有了, 但燔祭的羊羔在哪里呢? ”

22:8 And Abraham said, “God will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went together.
亚伯拉罕说: “我儿, 神必自己预备作燔祭的羊羔. ”于是二人同行.

22:9 And they came to the place that God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood. Then he bound Isaac his son and placed him on the altar atop the wood.
他们到了神所指示的地方, 亚伯拉罕在那里筑坛, 把柴摆好, 捆绑他的儿子以撒, 放在坛的柴上.

22:10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
亚伯拉罕就伸手拿刀, 要杀他的儿子.

22:11 And the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
耶和华的使者从天上呼叫他说: “亚伯拉罕! 亚伯拉罕! ”他说: “我在这里. ”

22:12 And he said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the boy; do not do anything to him. For now I know that you are one who fears God, since you have not withheld your son, your only child, from me.”
天使说: “你不可在这童子身上下手. 一点不可害他! 现在我知道你是敬畏神的了; 因为你没有将你的儿子, 就是你独生的儿子, 留下不给我. ”

22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold, a ram was caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
亚伯拉罕举目观看, 不料, 有一只公羊, 两角扣在稠密的小树中. 亚伯拉罕就取了那只公羊来, 献为燔祭, 代替他的儿子.

22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place “Yahweh will provide,” for which reason it is said today, “on the mountain of Yahweh it shall be provided.”
亚伯拉罕给那地方起名叫“耶和华以勒”(就是耶和华必预备的意思), 直到今日人还说: “在耶和华的山上必有预备. ”

22:15 And the angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven.
耶和华的使者第二次从天上呼叫亚伯拉罕说:

22:16 And he said, “I swear by myself, declares Yahweh, that because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only child,
“耶和华说: ‘你既行了这事, 不留下你的儿子, 就是你独生的儿子, 我便指著自己起誓说:

22:17 that I will certainly bless you and greatly multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the shore of the sea. And your offspring will take possession of the gate of his enemies.
论福, 我必赐大福给你; 论子孙, 我必叫你的子孙多起来, 如同天上的星, 海边的沙. 你子孙必得着仇敌的城门,

22:18 All the nations of the earth will be blessed through your offspring, because you have listened to my voice.”
并且地上万国都必因你的后裔得福, 因为你听从了我的话. ’”

22:19 And Abraham returned to his servants, and they got up and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham lived in Beersheba.
于是亚伯拉罕回到他仆人那里, 他们一同起身往别是巴去, 亚伯拉罕就住在别是巴.

22:20 And it happened that after these things, it was told to Abraham, “Look, Milcah has also borne children to your brother Nahor:
这事以后, 有人告诉亚伯拉罕说: “密迦给你兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子,

22:21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
长子是乌斯, 他的兄弟是布斯和亚兰的父亲基母利,

22:22 and Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
并基薛,哈琐,必达,益拉,彼土利(彼土利生利百加). ”

22:23 (Now, Bethuel fathered Rebekah). These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
这八个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的.

22:24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
拿鹤的妾名叫流玛, 生了提八,迦含,他辖, 和玛迦.

Genesis - Chapter 23

23:1 And Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
撒拉享寿一百二十七岁, 这是撒拉一生的岁数.

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

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

23:4 “I am a stranger and an alien among you; give to me my own burial site among you so that I may bury my dead from before me.”
“我在你们中间是外人, 是寄居的. 求你们在这里给我一块地, 我好埋葬我的死人, 使她不在我眼前. ”

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

23:6 “Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince in our midst. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial sites. None of us will withhold his burial site from you for burying your dead.”
“我主请听. 你在我们中间是一位尊大的王子, 只管在我们最好的坟地里埋葬你的死人; 我们没有一人不容你在他的坟地里埋葬你的死人. ”

23:7 And Abraham rose up and bowed to the people of the land, to the Hittites.
亚伯拉罕就起来, 向那地的赫人下拜,

23:8 And he spoke with them, saying, “If you are willing that I bury my dead from before me, hear me and intercede for me with Ephron the son of Zohar,
对他们说: “你们若有意叫我埋葬我的死人, 使她不在我眼前, 就请听我的话, 为我求琐辖的儿子以弗仑,

23:9 that he may sell to me the cave of Machpelah which belongs to him, which is at the end of his field. At full value let him sell it to me in your midst as a burial site.”
把田头上那麦比拉洞给我, 他可以按著足价卖给我, 作我在你们中间的坟地. ”

23:10 Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites. And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the Hittites with respect to all who were entering the gate of his city, and said,
当时以弗仑正坐在赫人中间. 于是, 赫人以弗仑在城门出入的赫人面前对亚伯拉罕说:

23:11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field and the cave which is in it, I also give it to you in the sight of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
“不然, 我主请听. 我送给你这块田, 连田间的洞也送给你, 在我同族的人面前都给你, 可以埋葬你的死人. ”

23:12 And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.
亚伯拉罕就在那地的人民面前下拜,

23:13 And he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If only you will hear me—I give the price of the field. Take it from me that I may bury my dead there.”
在他们面前对以弗仑说: “你若应允, 请听我的话. 我要把田价给你, 求你收下, 我就在那里埋葬我的死人. ”

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

23:15 “My lord, hear me. A piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver—what is that between me and you? Bury your dead.”
“我主请听. 值四百舍客勒银子的一块田, 在你我中间还算甚么呢? 只管埋葬你的死人吧! ”

23:16 Then Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed for Ephron the silver that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites: four hundred shekels of silver at the merchants’ current rate.
亚伯拉罕听从了以弗仑, 照着他在赫人面前所说的话, 把买卖通用的银子平了四百舍客勒给以弗仑.

23:17 So the field of Ephron which was in the Machpelah, which was near Mamre—the field and the cave which was in it, with all the trees that were in the field, which were within all its surrounding boundaries—passed
于是, 麦比拉,幔利前,以弗仑的那块田和其中的洞, 并田间四围的树木,

23:18 to Abraham as a property in the presence of the Hittites, with respect to all who were entering the gate of his city.
都定准归与亚伯拉罕, 乃是他在赫人面前并城门出入的人面前买妥的.

23:19 And thus afterward Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre; that is Hebron, in the land of Canaan.
此后, 亚伯拉罕把他妻子撒拉埋葬在迦南地幔利前的麦比拉田间的洞里. (幔利就是希伯仑).

23:20 And the field and the cave which was in it passed to Abraham as a burial site from the Hittites.
从此, 那块田和田间的洞就藉著赫人定准归与亚伯拉罕作坟地.

Genesis - Chapter 24

24:1 Now Abraham was old, advanced in age, and Yahweh had blessed Abraham in everything.
亚伯拉罕年纪老迈, 向来在一切事上耶和华都赐福给他.

24:2 And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, who had charge of all he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh
亚伯拉罕对管理他全业最老的仆人说: “请你把手放在我大腿底下.

24:3 that I may make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose midst I am dwelling,
我要叫你指著耶和华─天地的主起誓, 不要为我儿子娶这迦南地中的女子为妻.

24:4 but that you will go to my land and to my family, and take a wife for my son, for Isaac.”
你要往我本地本族去, 为我的儿子以撒娶一个妻子. ”

24:5 And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land—must I then return your son to the land from whence you came?”
仆人对他说: “倘若女子不肯跟我到这地方来, 我必须将你的儿子带回你原出之地吗? ”

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

24:7 Yahweh, the God of heaven who took me from the house of my father and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘to your offspring I will give this land,’ he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
耶和华─天上的主曾带领我离开父家和本族的地, 对我说话, 向我起誓说: ‘我要将这地赐给你的后裔. ’他必差遣使者在你面前, 你就可以从那里为我儿子娶一个妻子.

24:8 And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you shall be released from this oath of mine—only you must not return my son there.”
倘若女子不肯跟你来, 我使你起的誓就与你无干了, 只是不可带我的儿子回那里去. ”

24:9 Then the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and he swore to him concerning this matter.
仆人就把手放在他主人亚伯拉罕的大腿底下, 为这事向他起誓.

24:10 And the servant took ten camels from his master’s camels, and he went with all kinds of his master’s good things in his hand. And he arose and went to Aram-Naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
那仆人从他主人的骆驼里取了十匹骆驼, 并带些他主人各样的财物, 起身往美索不达米亚去, 到了拿鹤的城.

24:11 And he made the camels kneel outside the city at the well of water, at the time of evening, toward the time the women went out to draw water.
天将晚, 众女子出来打水的时候, 他便叫骆驼跪在城外的水井那里.

24:12 And he said, “O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show loyal love to my master Abraham.
他说: “耶和华─我主人亚伯拉罕的神啊, 求你施恩给我主人亚伯拉罕, 使我今日遇见好机会.

24:13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are going out to draw water.
我现今站在井旁, 城内居民的女子们正出来打水.

24:14 And let it be that the girl to whom I shall say, ‘Please, offer your jar that I may drink’ and who says, ‘Drink—and I will also water your camels,’ she is the one you have chosen for your servant, for Isaac. By her I will know that you have shown loyal love to my master.”
我向那一个女子说: ‘请你拿下水瓶来, 给我水喝. ’她若说: ‘请喝! 我也给你的骆驼喝. ’愿那女子就作你所预定给你仆人以撒的妻. 这样, 我便知道你施恩给我主人了. ”

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

24:16 Now the girl was very pleasing in appearance. She was a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up.
那女子容貌极其俊美, 还是处女, 也未曾有人亲近她. 她下到井旁, 打满了瓶, 又上来.

24:17 And the servant ran to meet her. And he said, “Please, let me drink a little of the water from your jar.”
仆人跑上前去迎着她, 说: “求你将瓶里的水给我一点喝. ”

24:18 And she said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly lowered her jar in her hand and gave him a drink.
女子说: “我主请喝! ”就急忙拿下瓶来, 托在手上给他喝.

24:19 When she finished giving him a drink she said, “I will also draw water for your camels until they finish drinking.”
女子给他喝了, 就说: “我再为你的骆驼打水, 叫骆驼也喝足. ”

24:20 And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water. And she drew water for all his camels.
她就急忙把瓶里的水倒在槽里, 又跑到井旁打水, 就为所有的骆驼打上水来.

24:21 And the man was gazing at her silently to know if Yahweh had made his journey successful or not.
那人定睛看她, 一句话也不说, 要晓得耶和华赐他通达的道路没有.

24:22 And it happened that as the camels finished drinking the man took a gold ring of a half shekel in weight and two bracelets for her arms, ten shekels in weight,
骆驼喝足了, 那人就拿一个金环, 重半舍客勒, 两个金镯, 重十舍客勒, 给了那女子,

24:23 and said, “Please tell me, whose daughter are you? Is there a place at the house of your father for us to spend the night?”
说: “请告诉我, 你是谁的女儿? 你父亲家里有我们住宿的地方没有? ”

24:24 And she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
女子说: “我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿”;

24:25 Then she said to him, “We have both straw and fodder in abundance, as well as a place to spend the night.”
又说: “我们家里足有粮草, 也有住宿的地方. ”

24:26 And the man knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
那人就低头向耶和华下拜,

24:27 And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld his loyal love and his faithfulness from my master. I was on the way and Yahweh led me to the house of my master’s brother.”
说: “耶和华─我主人亚伯拉罕的神是应当称颂的, 因他不断地以慈爱诚实待我主人. 至于我, 耶和华在路上引领我, 直走到我主人的兄弟家里. ”

24:28 Then the girl ran and reported these things to the household of her mother.
女子跑回去, 照着这些话告诉她母亲和她家里的人.

24:29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. And Laban ran out to the man toward the spring.
利百加有一个哥哥, 名叫拉班, 看见金环, 又看见金镯在他妹子的手上, 并听见他妹子利百加的话, 说那人对我如此如此说. 拉班就跑出来往井旁去, 到那人跟前, 见他仍站在骆驼旁边的井旁那里,

24:30 And when he saw the ring and the bracelets on the arms of his sister and heard the words of Rebekah his sister, who said, “Thus the man spoke to me,” he went to the man. And behold, he was standing with the camels at the spring.
并入上节

24:31 And he said, “Come, O blessed one of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? Now I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
便对他说: “你这蒙耶和华赐福的, 请进来, 为甚么站在外边? 我已经收拾了房屋, 也为骆驼预备了地方. ”

24:32 And the man came to the house and unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
那人就进了拉班的家. 拉班卸了骆驼, 用草料喂上, 拿水给那人和跟随的人洗脚;

24:33 And food was placed before him to eat. And he said, “I will not eat until I have told my errand.” And he said, “Speak.”
把饭摆在他面前, 叫他吃, 他却说: “我不吃, 等我说明白我的事情再吃. ”拉班说: “请说. ”

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

24:35 Now Yahweh has blessed my master exceedingly, and he has become great. He has given to him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male slaves and female slaves, and camels and donkeys.
耶和华大大地赐福给我主人, 使他昌大, 又赐给他羊群,牛群,金银,仆婢,骆驼, 和驴.

24:36 And Sarah, the wife of my master, has borne a son to my master after her old age. And he has given to him all that he has.
我主人的妻子撒拉年老的时候给我主人生了一个儿子; 我主人也将一切所有的都给了这个儿子.

24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, ‘Do not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I am living.
我主人叫我起誓说: ‘你不要为我儿子娶迦南地的女子为妻.

24:38 But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my family, and you shall take a wife for my son.’
你要往我父家,我本族那里去, 为我的儿子娶一个妻子. ’

24:39 And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’
我对我主人说: ‘恐怕女子不肯跟我来. ’

24:40 And he said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I have walked, shall send his angel with you and will make your journey successful. And you shall take a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father.
他就说: ‘我所事奉的耶和华必要差遣他的使者与你同去, 叫你的道路通达, 你就得以在我父家,我本族那里, 给我的儿子娶一个妻子.

24:41 Then you shall be released from my oath, when you come to my family. And if they will not give a woman to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
只要你到了我本族那里, 我使你起的誓就与你无干. 他们若不把女子交给你, 我使你起的誓也与你无干. ’

24:42 Then today I came to the spring, and I said, ‘O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, if you would please make my journey successful, upon which I am going.
“我今日到了井旁, 便说: ‘耶和华─我主人亚伯拉罕的神啊, 愿你叫我所行的道路通达.

24:43 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. Let it be that the young woman who comes out to draw water and to whom I say, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar,”
我如今站在井旁, 对哪一个出来打水的女子说: 请你把你瓶里的水给我一点喝;

24:44 let her say to me, “Drink; I will also draw water for your camels,” she is the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for the son of my master.’
她若说: 你只管喝, 我也为你的骆驼打水; 愿那女子就作耶和华给我主人儿子所预定的妻. ’

24:45 I had not yet finished speaking to myself when, behold, Rebekah was coming out with her jar on her shoulder. And she went down to the spring and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
我心里的话还没有说完, 利百加就出来, 肩头上扛着水瓶, 下到井旁打水. 我便对她说: ‘请你给我水喝. ’

24:46 And she hastened and let down her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will give a drink to your camels also.’ Then I drank and she gave a drink to the camels also.
她就急忙从肩头上拿下瓶来, 说: ‘请喝! 我也给你的骆驼喝. ’我便喝了; 她又给我的骆驼喝了.

24:47 Then I asked her and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her arms.
我问她说: ‘你是谁的女儿? ’她说: ‘我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿. ’我就把环子戴在她鼻子上, 把镯子戴在她两手上.

24:48 And I knelt down and worshiped Yahweh, and I praised Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right way, to take the daughter of the brother of my master for his son.
随后我低头向耶和华下拜, 称颂耶和华─我主人亚伯拉罕的神; 因为他引导我走合适的道路, 使我得着我主人兄弟的孙女, 给我主人的儿子为妻.

24:49 So now, if you are going to deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right or to the left.”
现在你们若愿以慈爱诚实待我主人, 就告诉我; 若不然, 也告诉我, 使我可以或向左, 或向右. ”

24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, and they said, “The matter has gone out from Yahweh; we are not able to speak bad or good to you.
拉班和彼土利回答说: “这事乃出于耶和华, 我们不能向你说好说歹.

24:51 Here is Rebekah before you. Take her and go; let her be a wife for the son of your master as Yahweh has spoken.”
看哪, 利百加在你面前, 可以将她带去, 照着耶和华所说的, 给你主人的儿子为妻. ”

24:52 And it happened that when the servant of Abraham heard their words he bowed down to the ground to Yahweh.
亚伯拉罕的仆人听见他们这话, 就向耶和华俯伏在地.

24:53 And the servant brought out silver jewelry and gold jewelry, and garments, and he gave them to Rebekah. And he gave precious gifts to her brother and to her mother.
当下仆人拿出金器,银器, 和衣服送给利百加, 又将宝物送给她哥哥和她母亲.

24:54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night. And they got up in the morning, and he said, “Let me go to my master.”
仆人和跟从他的人吃了喝了, 住了一夜. 早晨起来, 仆人就说: “请打发我回我主人那里去吧. ”

24:55 And her brother and her mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so; after that she may go.”
利百加的哥哥和她母亲说: “让女子同我们再住几天, 至少十天, 然后她可以去. ”

24:56 And he said to them, “Do not delay me. Now, Yahweh has made my journey successful. Let me go. I must go to my master.”
仆人说: “耶和华既赐给我通达的道路, 你们不要耽误我, 请打发我走, 回我主人那里去吧. ”

24:57 And they said, “Let us call the girl and ask her opinion.”
他们说: “我们把女子叫来问问她”,

24:58 And they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”
就叫了利百加来, 问她说: “你和这人同去吗? ”利百加说: “我去. ”

24:59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and the servant of Abraham and his men.
于是他们打发妹子利百加和她的乳母, 同亚伯拉罕的仆人, 并跟从仆人的, 都走了.

24:60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “You are our sister; may you become countless thousands; and may your offspring take possession of the gate of his enemies.”
他们就给利百加祝福说: 我们的妹子啊, 愿你作千万人的母! 愿你的后裔得着仇敌的城门!

24:61 And Rebekah and her maidservants arose, and they mounted the camels and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah and left.
利百加和她的使女们起来, 骑上骆驼, 跟著那仆人, 仆人就带著利百加走了.

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

24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field early in the evening, and he lifted up his eyes and saw—behold, camels were coming.
天将晚, 以撒出来在田间默想, 举目一看, 见来了些骆驼.

24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac. And she got down from the camel.
利百加举目看见以撒, 就急忙下了骆驼,

24:65 And she said to the servant, “Who is this man walking around in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “That is my master.” And she took her veil and covered herself.
问那仆人说: “这田间走来迎接我们的是谁? ”仆人说: “是我的主人. ”利百加就拿帕子蒙上脸.

24:66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
仆人就将所办的一切事都告诉以撒.

24:67 And Isaac brought her to the tent of Sarah his mother. And he took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after the death of his mother.
以撒便领利百加进了他母亲撒拉的帐棚, 娶了她为妻, 并且爱她. 以撒自从他母亲不在了, 这才得了安慰.

Genesis - Chapter 26

26:1 And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine which was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
在亚伯拉罕的日子, 那地有一次饥荒; 这时又有饥荒, 以撒就往基拉耳去, 到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里.

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

26:3 Dwell as an alien in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham you father.
你寄居在这地, 我必与你同在, 赐福给你, 因为我要将这些地都赐给你和你的后裔. 我必坚定我向你父亚伯拉罕所起的誓.

26:4 And I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and I will give to your descendants all these lands. And all nations of the earth will be blessed through your offspring,
我要加增你的后裔, 像天上的星那样多, 又要将这些地都赐给你的后裔. 并且地上万国必因你的后裔得福－

26:5 because Abraham listened to my voice and kept my charge: my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”
都因亚伯拉罕听从我的话, 遵守我的吩咐和我的命令,律例,法度. ”

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

26:7 When the men of the place asked concerning his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife,” thinking “the men of the place will kill me on account of Rebekah, for she was beautiful.”
那地方的人问到他的妻子, 他便说: “那是我的妹子. ”原来他怕说: “是我的妻子”; 他心里想: “恐怕这地方的人为利百加的缘故杀我”, 因为她容貌俊美.

26:8 And it happened that, when he had been there a long time, Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked through the window, and saw—behold—Isaac was fondling Rebekah his wife.
他在那里住了许久. 有一天, 非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观看, 见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩.

26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Surely she is your wife. Now why did you say ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I thought I would die on account of her.”
亚比米勒召了以撒来, 对他说: “她实在是你的妻子, 你怎么说她是你的妹子? ”以撒说: “我心里想, 恐怕我因她而死. ”

26:10 And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife! Then you would have brought guilt upon us!”
亚比米勒说: “你向我们做的是甚么事呢? 民中险些有人和你的妻同寝, 把我们陷在罪里. ”

26:11 Then Abimelech instructed all the people, saying, “The one who touches this man or his wife shall certainly die.”
于是亚比米勒晓谕众民说: “凡沾著这个人, 或是他妻子的, 定要把他治死. ”

26:12 And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in that same year a hundredfold, and Yahweh blessed him.
以撒在那地耕种, 那一年有百倍的收成. 耶和华赐福给他,

26:13 And the man became wealthier and wealthier until he was exceedingly wealthy.
他就昌大, 日增月盛, 成了大富户.

26:14 And he possessed sheep and cattle and many servants, so that the Philistines envied him.
他有羊群牛群, 又有许多仆人, 非利士人就嫉妒他.

26:15 And the Philistines stopped up all the wells that the servants of his father had dug in the days of Abraham his father. They filled them with earth.
当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的日子, 他父亲的仆人所挖的井, 非利士人全都塞住, 填满了土.

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

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

26:18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after the death of Abraham. And he gave to them the same names which his father had given them.
当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世之日所挖的水井因非利士人在亚伯拉罕死后塞住了, 以撒就重新挖出来, 仍照他父亲所叫的叫那些井的名字.

26:19 And when the servants of Isaac dug in the valley, they found a well of fresh water there.
以撒的仆人在谷中挖井, 便得了一口活水井.

26:20 Then the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, “The water is ours.” And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争竞, 说: “这水是我们的. ”以撒就给那井起名叫埃色(就是相敌的意思), 因为他们和他相争.

26:21 And they dug another well, and they quarreled over it also. And he called its name Sitnah.
以撒的仆人又挖了一口井, 他们又为这井争竞, 因此以撒给这井起名叫西提拿(就是为敌的意思).

26:22 Then he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. And he called its name Rehoboth, and said, “Now Yahweh has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
以撒离开那里, 又挖了一口井, 他们不为这井争竞了, 他就给那井起名叫利河伯(就是宽阔的意思). 他说: “耶和华现在给我们宽阔之地, 我们必在这地昌盛. ”

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

26:24 And Yahweh appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and I will bless you and make your descendants numerous for the sake of my servant Abraham.”
当夜耶和华向他显现, 说: “我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的神, 不要惧怕! 因为我与你同在, 要赐福给你, 并要为我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故, 使你的后裔繁多. ”

26:25 And he built an altar there and called on the name of Yahweh. And he pitched his tent there, and the servants of Isaac dug a well there.
以撒就在那里筑了一座坛, 求告耶和华的名, 并且支搭帐棚; 他的仆人便在那里挖了一口井.

26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol his army commander.
亚比米勒, 同他的朋友亚户撒和他的军长非各, 从基拉耳来见以撒.

26:27 And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me? You hate me and sent me away from you.”
以撒对他们说: “你们既然恨我, 打发我走了, 为甚么到我这里来呢? ”

26:28 And they said, “We see clearly that Yahweh has been with you, so we thought let there be an oath between us—between us and you—and let us make a covenant with you
他们说: “我们明明地看见耶和华与你同在, 便说, 不如我们两下彼此起誓, 彼此立约,

26:29 that you may not do us harm just as we have not touched you, but have only done good to you and sent you away in peace. You are now blessed by Yahweh.”
使你不害我们, 正如我们未曾害你, 一味地厚待你, 并且打发你平平安安地走. 你是蒙耶和华赐福的了. ”

26:30 So he made a meal for them, and they ate and drank.
以撒就为他们设摆筵席, 他们便吃了喝了.

26:31 And they arose early in the morning and each one swore to the other, and Isaac sent them away. And they left him in peace.
他们清早起来彼此起誓. 以撒打发他们走, 他们就平平安安地离开他走了.

26:32 And it happened that on that same day the servants of Isaac came and told him about the well that they had dug. And they said, “We have found water!”
那一天, 以撒的仆人来, 将挖井的事告诉他说: “我们得了水了. ”

26:33 And he called it Sheba. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
他就给那井起名叫示巴; 因此那城叫做别是巴, 直到今日.

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

26:35 And they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.
她们常使以撒和利百加心里愁烦.

Genesis - Chapter 27

27:1 And it happened that when Isaac was old and his eyesight was weak, he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
以撒年老, 眼睛昏花, 不能看见, 就叫了他大儿子以扫来, 说: “我儿. ”以扫说: “我在这里. ”

27:2 And he said, “Look, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.
他说: “我如今老了, 不知道那一天死.

27:3 So now, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt food for me.
现在拿你的器械, 就是箭囊和弓, 往田野去为我打猎,

27:4 Then make for me tasty food like I love, and bring it to me. And I will eat it so that I can bless you before I die.
照我所爱的做成美味, 拿来给我吃, 使我在未死之先给你祝福. ”

27:5 Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to Esau his son, and when Esau went to the field to hunt wild game to bring back,
以撒对他儿子以扫说话, 利百加也听见了. 以扫往田野去打猎, 要得野味带来.

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

27:7 ‘Bring wild game to me and prepare tasty food so I can eat it and bless you before Yahweh before my death.’
‘你去把野兽带来, 做成美味给我吃, 我好在未死之先, 在耶和华面前给你祝福. ’

27:8 So now, my son, listen to my voice, to what I command you.
现在, 我儿, 你要照着我所吩咐你的, 听从我的话.

27:9 Go to the flock and take two good young goats from it for me, and I will prepare them as tasty food for your father, just as he likes.
你到羊群里去, 给我拿两只肥山羊羔来, 我便照你父亲所爱的给他做成美味.

27:10 Then you must take it to your father and he will eat it so that he may bless you before his death.”
你拿到你父亲那里给他吃, 使他在未死之先给你祝福. ”

27:11 Then Jacob said to his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, but I am a smooth man.
雅各对他母亲利百加说: “我哥哥以扫浑身是有毛的, 我身上是光滑的;

27:12 Perhaps my father will feel me and I will be in his eyes as a mocker, and he will bring upon me a curse and not a blessing.”
倘若我父亲摸着我, 必以我为欺哄人的, 我就招咒诅, 不得祝福. ”

27:13 Then his mother said to him, “Your curse be upon me, my son, only listen to my voice—go and get them for me.”
他母亲对他说: “我儿, 你招的咒诅归到我身上; 你只管听我的话, 去把羊羔给我拿来. ”

27:14 So he went and took them, and brought them to his mother, and his mother prepared tasty food as his father liked.
他便去拿来, 交给他母亲; 他母亲就照他父亲所爱的做成美味.

27:15 Then Rebekah took some of her older son Esau’s best garments that were with her in the house, and she put them on Jacob her younger son.
利百加又把家里所存大儿子以扫上好的衣服给她小儿子雅各穿上,

27:16 And she put the skins of the young goats over his hands and over the smooth part of his neck.
又用山羊羔皮包在雅各的手上和颈项的光滑处,

27:17 And she put the tasty food and the bread that she had made into the hand of Jacob, her son.
就把所做的美味和饼交在她儿子雅各的手里.

27:18 And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
雅各到他父亲那里说: “我父亲! ”他说: “我在这里. 我儿, 你是谁? ”

27:19 And Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please get up, sit up and eat from my wild game so that you may bless me.”
雅各对他父亲说: “我是你的长子以扫; 我已照你所吩咐我的行了. 请起来坐著, 吃我的野味, 好给我祝福. ”

27:20 Then Isaac said to his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because Yahweh your God caused me to find it.”
以撒对他儿子说: “我儿, 你如何找得这么快呢? ”他说: “因为耶和华─你的神使我遇见好机会得着的. ”

27:21 Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please, come near and let me feel you, my son. Are you really my son Esau or not?”
以撒对雅各说: “我儿, 你近前来, 我摸摸你, 知道你真是我的儿子以扫不是. ”

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

27:23 And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother. And he blessed him.
以撒就辨不出他来; 因为他手上有毛, 像他哥哥以扫的手一样, 就给他祝福;

27:24 And he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” And he said, “I am.”
又说: “你真是我儿子以扫吗? ”他说: “我是. ”

27:25 Then he said, “Bring it near to me that I may eat from the game of my son, so that I may bless you.” And he brought it to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.
以撒说: “你递给我, 我好吃我儿子的野味, 给你祝福. ”雅各就递给他, 他便吃了, 又拿酒给他, 他也喝了.

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

27:27 And he drew near and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his garments, and he blessed him and said, “Look, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that Yahweh has blessed!
他就上前与父亲亲嘴. 他父亲一闻他衣服上的香气, 就给他祝福, 说: 我儿的香气如同耶和华赐福之田地的香气一样.

27:28 May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and new wine.
愿神赐你天上的甘露, 地上的肥土, 并许多五谷新酒.

27:29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you; Be lord of your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. Cursed be those cursing you, and blessed be those blessing you.”
愿多民事奉你, 多国跪拜你. 愿你作你弟兄的主; 你母亲的儿子向你跪拜. 凡咒诅你的, 愿他受咒诅; 为你祝福的, 愿他蒙福.

27:30 And as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, immediately after Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came back from his hunting.
以撒为雅各祝福已毕, 雅各从他父亲那里才出来, 他哥哥以扫正打猎回来,

27:31 He too prepared tasty food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat from the wild game of his son, that you may bless me.”
也做了美味, 拿来给他父亲, 说: “请父亲起来, 吃你儿子的野味, 好给我祝福. ”

27:32 And Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” And he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
他父亲以撒对他说: “你是谁? ”他说: “我是你的长子以扫. ”

27:33 Then Isaac trembled violently. Then he said, “Who then was he that hunted wild game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I blessed him? Moreover, he will be blessed!”
以撒就大大地战兢, 说: “你未来之先, 是谁得了野味拿来给我呢? 我已经吃了, 为他祝福; 他将来也必蒙福. ”

27:34 When Esau heard the words of his father he cried out with a great and exceedingly bitter cry of distress. And he said to his father, “Bless me as well, my father!”
以扫听了他父亲的话, 就放声痛哭, 说: “我父啊, 求你也为我祝福! ”

27:35 And he said, “Your brother came in deceit and took your blessing.”
以撒说: “你兄弟已经用诡计来将你的福分夺去了. ”

27:36 Then he said, “Isn’t that why he is named Jacob? He has deceived me these two times. He took my birthright and, look, now he has taken my blessing!” Then he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
以扫说: “他名雅各, 岂不是正对吗? 因为他欺骗了我两次: 他从前夺了我长子的名分, 你看, 他现在又夺了我的福分. ”以扫又说: “你没有留下为我可祝的福吗? ”

27:37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him lord over you and I have given him all his brothers as servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. Now what can I do for you, my son?”
以撒回答以扫说: “我已立他为你的主, 使他的弟兄都给他作仆人, 并赐他五谷新酒可以养生. 我儿, 现在我还能为你做甚么呢? ”

27:38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me also, my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
以扫对他父亲说: “父啊, 你只有一样可祝的福吗? 我父啊, 求你也为我祝福! ”以扫就放声而哭.

27:39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Your home shall be from the fatness of the land, and from the dew of heaven above.
他父亲以撒说: 地上的肥土必为你所住; 天上的甘露必为你所得.

27:40 But by your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother. But it shall be that when free yourself you shall tear off his yoke from your neck.
你必倚靠刀剑度日, 又必事奉你的兄弟; 到你强盛的时候, 必从你颈项上挣开他的轭.

27:41 Then Esau held a grudge against Jacob on account of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are coming, then I will kill Jacob my brother.”
以扫因他父亲给雅各祝的福, 就怨恨雅各, 心里说: “为我父亲居丧的日子近了, 到那时候, 我要杀我的兄弟雅各. ”

27:42 But the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called for her younger son Jacob. And she said to him, “Look, Esau your brother is consoling himself concerning you, intending to kill you.
有人把利百加大儿子以扫的话告诉利百加, 她就打发人去, 叫了她小儿子雅各来, 对他说: “你哥哥以扫想要杀你, 报仇雪恨.

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

27:44 Stay with him a few days until the wrath of your brother has turned—
同他住些日子, 直等你哥哥的怒气消了.

27:45 until the anger of your brother turns from you and he has forgotten what you have done to him. Then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I lose the two of you in one day?”
你哥哥向你消了怒气, 忘了你向他所做的事, 我便打发人去把你从那里带回来. 为甚么一日丧你们二人呢? ”

27:46 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, “I loathe my life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob takes a wife from Hittite women like these, from the native women, what am I living for?”
利百加对以撒说: “我因这赫人的女子连性命都厌烦了; 倘若雅各也娶赫人的女子为妻, 像这些一样, 我活着还有甚么益处呢? ”

Genesis - Chapter 28

28:1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him. And he instructed him and said to him, “You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
以撒叫了雅各来, 给他祝福, 并嘱咐他说: “你不要娶迦南的女子为妻.

28:2 Arise, go to Paddan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and take for yourself a wife from there, from the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.
你起身往巴旦‧亚兰去, 到你外祖彼土利家里, 在你母舅拉班的女儿中娶一女为妻.

28:3 Now, may El-Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, so that you become an assembly of peoples.
愿全能的神赐福给你, 使你生养众多, 成为多族,

28:4 And may he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your descendants with you, that you may take possession of the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraham.”
将应许亚伯拉罕的福赐给你和你的后裔, 使你承受你所寄居的地为业, 就是神赐给亚伯拉罕的地. ”

28:5 Then Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
以撒打发雅各走了, 他就往巴旦‧亚兰去, 到亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里. 拉班是雅各,以扫的母舅.

28:6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-Aram, to take for himself a wife from there, and he blessed him and instructed him, saying, “You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,”
以扫见以撒已经给雅各祝福, 而且打发他往巴旦‧亚兰去, 在那里娶妻, 并见祝福的时候嘱咐他说: “不要娶迦南的女子为妻”,

28:7 and that Jacob listened to his father and to his mother and went to Paddan-Aram.
又见雅各听从父母的话往巴旦‧亚兰去了,

28:8 Then Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,
以扫就晓得他父亲以撒看不中迦南的女子,

28:9 then Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, son of Abraham, sister of Nebaioth, as a wife, in addition to the wives he had.
便往以实玛利那里去, 在他二妻之外又娶了玛哈拉为妻. 她是亚伯拉罕儿子以实玛利的女儿, 尼拜约的妹子.

28:10 Then Jacob went out from Beersheba and went to Haran.
雅各出了别是巴, 向哈兰走去;

28:11 And he arrived at a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head and slept at that place.
到了一个地方, 因为太阳落了, 就在那里住宿, 便拾起那地方的一块石头枕在头下, 在那里躺卧睡了,

28:12 And he dreamed, and behold, a stairway was set on the earth, and its top touched the heavens. And behold, angels of God were going up and going down on it.
梦见一个梯子立在地上, 梯子的头顶着天, 有神的使者在梯子上, 上去下来.

28:13 And behold, Yahweh was standing beside him, and he said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The ground on which you were sleeping I will give to you and to your descendants.
耶和华站在梯子以上(或译: 站在他旁边), 说: “我是耶和华─你祖亚伯拉罕的神, 也是以撒的神; 我要将你现在所躺卧之地赐给你和你的后裔.

28:14 Your descendants shall be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north and to the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and through your descendants.
你的后裔必像地上的尘沙那样多, 必向东西南北开展; 地上万族必因你和你的后裔得福.

28:15 Now behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. And I will bring you to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised to you.”
我也与你同在. 你无论往哪里去, 我必保佑你, 领你归回这地, 总不离弃你, 直到我成全了向你所应许的. ”

28:16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely Yahweh is indeed in this place and I did not know!”
雅各睡醒了, 说: “耶和华真在这里, 我竟不知道! ”

28:17 Then he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is nothing else than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”
就惧怕, 说: “这地方何等可畏! 这不是别的, 乃是神的殿, 也是天的门. ”

28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up as a stone pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
雅各清早起来, 把所枕的石头立作柱子, 浇油在上面.

28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; however, the name of the city was formerly Luz.
他就给那地方起名叫伯特利(就是神殿的意思); 但那地方起先名叫路斯.

28:20 And Jacob made a vow saying, “If God will be with me and protect me on this way that I am going, and gives me food to eat and clothing to wear,
雅各许愿说: “神若与我同在, 在我所行的路上保佑我, 又给我食物吃, 衣服穿,

28:21 and if I return in peace to the house of my father, then Yahweh will become my God.
使我平平安安地回到我父亲的家, 我就必以耶和华为我的神.

28:22 And this stone that I have set up as a pillar shall be the house of God, and of all that you give to me I will certainly give a tenth to you.”
我所立为柱子的石头也必作神的殿; 凡你所赐给我的, 我必将十分之一献给你. ”

Genesis - Chapter 29

29:1 And Jacob continued his journey and went to the land of the Easterners.
雅各起行, 到了东方人之地,

29:2 And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the field, and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. And the stone on the mouth of the well was large.
看见田间有一口井, 有三群羊卧在井旁; 因为人饮羊群都是用那井里的水. 井口上的石头是大的.

29:3 And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well. And they watered the sheep and returned the stone upon the mouth of the well to its place.
常有羊群在那里聚集, 牧人把石头转离井口饮羊, 随后又把石头放在井口的原处.

29:4 And Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.”
雅各对牧人说: “弟兄们, 你们是哪里来的? ”他们说: “我们是哈兰来的. ”

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

29:6 And he said to them, “Is he well?” And they said, “He is well. Now look, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
雅各说: “他平安吗? ”他们说: “平安. 看哪, 他女儿拉结领着羊来了. ”

29:7 And he said, “Look, it is still broad daylight; it is not the time for the livestock to be gathered. Give water to the sheep and go, pasture them.”
雅各说: “日头还高, 不是羊群聚集的时候, 你们不如饮羊, 再去放一放. ”

29:8 And they said, “We are not able, until all the flocks are gathered. Then the stone is rolled away from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.”
他们说: “我们不能, 必等羊群聚齐, 人把石头转离井口才可饮羊. ”

29:9 While he was speaking with them, Rachel came with the sheep which belonged to her father, for she was pasturing them.
雅各正和他们说话的时候, 拉结领着她父亲的羊来了, 因为那些羊是她牧放的.

29:10 And it happened that, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob drew near and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother.
雅各看见母舅拉班的女儿拉结和母舅拉班的羊群, 就上前把石头转离井口, 饮他母舅拉班的羊群.

29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
雅各与拉结亲嘴, 就放声而哭.

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

29:13 And it happened that when Laban heard the message about Jacob, the son of his sister, he ran to meet him. And he embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
拉班听见外甥雅各的信息, 就跑去迎接, 抱着他, 与他亲嘴, 领他到自己的家. 雅各将一切的情由告诉拉班.

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

29:15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Just because you are my brother should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wage should be.”
拉班对雅各说: “你虽是我的骨肉(原文是弟兄), 岂可白白地服事我? 请告诉我, 你要甚么为工价? ”

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

29:17 Now the eyes of Leah were dull, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
利亚的眼睛没有神气, 拉结却生得美貌俊秀.

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

29:19 Then Laban said, “Better that I give her to you than I give her to another man. Stay with me.”
拉班说: “我把她给你, 胜似给别人, 你与我同住吧! ”

29:20 And Jacob worked for Rachel seven years, but they were as a few days in his eyes because he loved her.
雅各就为拉结服事了七年; 他因为深爱拉结, 就看这七年如同几天.

29:21 And Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.”
雅各对拉班说: “日期已经满了, 求你把我的妻子给我, 我好与她同房. ”

到晚上, 拉班将女儿利亚送来给雅各, 雅各就与她同房.

29:24 And Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to her, to Leah his daughter as a female servant.
拉班又将婢女悉帕给女儿利亚作使女.

29:25 And it happened that in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Now why did you deceive me?”
到了早晨, 雅各一看是利亚, 就对拉班说: “你向我做的是甚么事呢? 我服事你, 不是为拉结吗? 你为甚么欺哄我呢? ”

29:26 Then Laban said, “It is not the custom in our country to give the younger before the firstborn.
拉班说: “大女儿还没有给人, 先把小女儿给人, 在我们这地方没有这规矩.

29:27 Complete the week of this one, then I will also give you the other, on the condition that you will work for me another seven years.”
你为这个满了七日, 我就把那个也给你, 你再为她服事我七年. ”

29:28 And Jacob did so. So he completed the week of this one, then he gave Rachel his daughter to him as a wife.

29:30 Then he also went in to Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.

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

29:32 Then Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Because Yahweh has noticed my misery, that I am unloved. Now my husband will love me.”
利亚怀孕生子, 就给他起名叫流便(就是有儿子的意思), 因而说: “耶和华看见我的苦情, 如今我的丈夫必爱我. ”

神应允了利亚, 她就怀孕, 给雅各生了第五个儿子.

30:18 Then Leah said, “God has given me my wage since I gave my servant girl to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.
利亚说: “神给了我价值, 因为我把使女给了我丈夫”, 于是给他起名叫以萨迦(就是价值的意思).

30:19 And Leah conceived again and gave birth to a sixth son for Jacob.
利亚又怀孕, 给雅各生了第六个儿子.

30:20 And Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift. This time my husband will acknowledge me, because I bore him six sons.” And she called his name Zebulun.
利亚说: “神赐我厚赏; 我丈夫必与我同住, 因我给他生了六个儿子”, 于是给他起名西布伦(就是同住的意思).

30:21 And afterward she gave birth to a daughter. And she called her name Dinah.
后来又生了一个女儿, 给她起名叫底拿.

30:22 Then God remembered Rachel and listened to her, and God opened her womb.
神顾念拉结, 应允了她, 使她能生育.

30:23 And she conceived and gave birth to a son. And she said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”
拉结怀孕生子, 说: “神除去了我的羞耻”,

30:24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, “Yahweh has added to me another son.”
就给他起名叫约瑟(就是增添的意思), 意思说: “愿耶和华再增添我一个儿子. ”

30:25 And it happened that as soon as Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away that I may go to my place and my land.
拉结生约瑟之后, 雅各对拉班说: “请打发我走, 叫我回到我本乡本土去.

30:26 Give me my wives and my children for which I have served you, and let me go. For you yourself know my service that I have rendered to you.”
请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女给我, 让我走; 我怎样服事你, 你都知道. ”

30:27 But Laban said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, I have learned by divination that Yahweh has blessed me because of you.”
拉班对他说: “我若在你眼前蒙恩, 请你仍与我同住, 因为我已算定, 耶和华赐福与我是为你的缘故”;

30:28 And he said, “Name your wage to me and I will give it.”
又说: “请你定你的工价, 我就给你. ”

30:29 Then he said to him, “You yourself know how I have served you and how your livestock have been with me.
雅各对他说: “我怎样服事你, 你的牲畜在我手里怎样, 是你知道的.

30:30 For you had little before me, and it has increased abundantly. And Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. So then, when shall I provide for my own family also?”
我未来之先, 你所有的很少, 现今却发大众多, 耶和华随我的脚步赐福与你. 如今, 我甚么时候才为自己兴家立业呢? ”

30:31 And he said, “What shall I give you?” And Jacob said, “Do not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flocks and keep them.
拉班说: “我当给你甚么呢? ”雅各说: “甚么你也不必给我, 只有一件事, 你若应承, 我便仍旧牧放你的羊群.

30:32 Let me pass through all your flocks today, removing all the speckled and spotted sheep from them, along with every dark-colored sheep among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. That shall be my wages.
今天我要走遍你的羊群, 把绵羊中凡有点的,有斑的, 和黑色的, 并山羊中凡有斑的,有点的, 都挑出来; 将来这一等的就算我的工价.

30:33 And my righteousness will answer for me later when you come concerning my wages before you. Every one that is not speckled or spotted among the goats, or dark-colored among the sheep shall be stolen if it is with me.”
以后你来查看我的工价, 凡在我手里的山羊不是有点有斑的, 绵羊不是黑色的, 那就算是我偷的; 这样便可证出我的公义来. ”

30:34 Then Laban said, “Look! Very well. It shall be according to your word.”
拉班说: “好啊! 我情愿照着你的话行. ”

30:35 But that day he removed the streaked and spotted male goats and all the speckled and spotted female goats, all that had white on it, and every dark-colored ram, and put them in the charge of his sons.
当日, 拉班把有纹的,有斑的公山羊, 有点的,有斑的,有杂白纹的母山羊, 并黑色的绵羊, 都挑出来, 交在他儿子们的手下,

30:36 And he put a journey of three days between him and Jacob, and Jacob pastured the remainder of Laban’s flock.
又使自己和雅各相离三天的路程. 雅各就牧养拉班其余的羊.

30:37 Then Jacob took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled white strips on them, exposing the white which was on the branches.
雅各拿杨树,杏树,枫树的嫩枝, 将皮剥成白纹, 使枝子露出白的来,

30:38 And he set the branches that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in the troughs and in the water containers. And they were in heat when they came to drink.
将剥了皮的枝子, 对着羊群, 插在饮羊的水沟里和水槽里, 羊来喝的时候, 牝牡配合.

30:39 And the flocks mated by the branches, so the flocks bore streaked, speckled, and spotted.
羊对着枝子配合, 就生下有纹的,有点的,有斑的来.

30:40 And Jacob separated the lambs and turned the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark-colored in Laban’s flocks. And he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with the flocks of Laban.
雅各把羊羔分出来, 使拉班的羊与这有纹和黑色的羊相对, 把自己的羊另放一处, 不叫他和拉班的羊混杂.

30:41 And whenever any of the stronger of the flocks were in heat, Jacob put the branches in full view of the flock in the troughs that they might mate among the branches.
到羊群肥壮配合的时候, 雅各就把枝子插在水沟里, 使羊对着枝子配合.

30:42 But with the more feeble of the flock he would not put them there. So the feebler were Laban’s and the stronger were Jacob’s.
只是到羊瘦弱配合的时候就不插枝子. 这样, 瘦弱的就归拉班, 肥壮的就归雅各.

30:43 And the man became exceedingly rich and had large flocks, female slaves, male slaves, camels, and donkeys.
于是雅各极其发大, 得了许多的羊群,仆婢,骆驼, 和驴.

Genesis - Chapter 31

31:1 Now he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has,” and “From that which was our father’s he has gained all this wealth.”
雅各听见拉班的儿子们有话说: “雅各把我们父亲所有的都夺了去, 并藉著我们父亲的, 得了这一切的荣耀(或译: 财). ”

31:2 Then Jacob saw the face of Laban and, behold, it was not like it had been in the past.
雅各见拉班的气色向他不如从前了.

31:3 And Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your ancestors and to your family, and I will be with you.”
耶和华对雅各说: “你要回你祖,你父之地, 到你亲族那里去, 我必与你同在. ”

31:4 So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flocks,
雅各就打发人, 叫拉结和利亚到田野羊群那里来,

31:5 and he said to them, “Look, I see the face of your father, that it is not like it has been toward me in the past. But the God of my father is with me.
对她们说: “我看你们父亲的气色向我不如从前了; 但我父亲的神向来与我同在.

31:6 Now you yourselves know that I have served your father with all my strength,
你们也知道, 我尽了我的力量服事你们的父亲.

31:7 and your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God has not allowed him to harm me.
你们的父亲欺哄我, 十次改了我的工价; 然而神不容他害我.

31:8 If thus he said, ‘Speckled shall be your wage,’ then all the flock bore speckled. And if he said, ‘Streaked shall be your wage,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
他若说: ‘有点的归你作工价’, 羊群所生的都有点; 他若说: ‘有纹的归你作工价’, 羊群所生的都有纹.

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

31:10 Now it happened that at the time of the mating of the flock I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams mounting the flock were streaked, speckled, and dappled.
羊配合的时候, 我梦中举目一看, 见跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的,有点的,有花斑的.

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

31:12 And he said, ‘Lift up your eyes and see—all the rams mounting the flock are streaked, speckled, and dappled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
他说: ‘你举目观看, 跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的,有点的,有花斑的; 凡拉班向你所做的, 我都看见了.

31:13 I am the God of Bethel where you anointed a stone pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now get up, go out from this land and return to the land of your birth.’ ”
我是伯特利的神; 你在那里用油浇过柱子, 向我许过愿. 现今你起来, 离开这地, 回你本地去吧! ’”

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

31:15 Are we not regarded as foreigners by him, because he has sold us and completely consumed our money?
我们不是被他当作外人吗? 因为他卖了我们, 吞了我们的价值.

31:16 For all the wealth that God has taken away from our father, it belongs to us and to our sons. So now, all that God has said to you, do.”
神从我们父亲所夺出来的一切财物, 那就是我们和我们孩子们的. 现今凡神所吩咐你的, 你只管去行吧! ”

31:17 Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on the camels.
雅各起来, 使他的儿子和妻子都骑上骆驼,

31:18 And he drove all his livestock and his possessions that he had acquired, the livestock of his possession that he had acquired in Paddan-Aram, in order to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
又带着他在巴旦‧亚兰所得的一切牲畜和财物, 往迦南地,他父亲以撒那里去了.

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

31:20 And Jacob tricked Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.
雅各背着亚兰人拉班偷走了, 并不告诉他,

31:21 Then he fled with all that he had, and arose and crossed the Euphrates and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.
就带着所有的逃跑. 他起身过大河, 面向基列山行去.

31:22 And on the third day it was told to Laban that Jacob had fled.
到第三日, 有人告诉拉班, 雅各逃跑了.

31:23 Then he took his kinsmen with him and pursued after him, a seven-day journey, and he caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
拉班带领他的众弟兄去追赶, 追了七日, 在基列山就追上了.

31:24 And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Take care that you not speak with Jacob, whether good or evil.”
夜间, 神到亚兰人拉班那里, 在梦中对他说: “你要小心, 不可与雅各说好说歹. ”

31:25 And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban and his kinsmen pitched their tents in the hill country of Gilead.
拉班追上雅各. 雅各在山上支搭帐棚; 拉班和他的众弟兄也在基列山上支搭帐棚.

31:26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done that you tricked me and have carried off my daughters like captives of the sword?
拉班对雅各说: “你做的是甚么事呢? 你背着我偷走了, 又把我的女儿们带了去, 如同用刀剑掳去的一般.

31:27 Why did you hide your intention to flee and trick me, and did not tell me so that I would have sent you away with joy and song and tambourine and lyre?
你为甚么暗暗地逃跑, 偷着走, 并不告诉我, 叫我可以欢乐,唱歌,击鼓,弹琴地送你回去?

31:28 And why did you not give me opportunity to kiss my grandsons and my daughters goodbye? Now you have behaved foolishly by doing this.
又不容我与外孙和女儿亲嘴? 你所行的真是愚昧!

31:29 It is in my power to do harm to you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night saying, ‘Take care from speaking with Jacob, whether good or evil.’
我手中原有能力害你, 只是你父亲的神昨夜对我说: ‘你要小心, 不可与雅各说好说歹. ’

31:30 Now, you have surely gone because you desperately longed for the house of your father, but why did you steal my gods?”
现在你虽然想你父家, 不得不去, 为甚么又偷了我的神像呢? ”

31:31 Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought, ‘Lest you take your daughters from me by force.’
雅各回答拉班说: “恐怕你把你的女儿从我夺去, 所以我逃跑.

31:32 But with whomever you find your gods, he shall not live. In the presence of your kinsmen now identify what is with me that is yours and take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
至于你的神像, 你在谁那里搜出来, 就不容谁存活. 当着我们的众弟兄, 你认一认, 在我这里有甚么东西是你的, 就拿去. ”原来雅各不知道拉结偷了那些神像.

31:33 Then Laban went into Jacob’s tent and Leah’s tent and the tent of the two female servants and did not find his gods. And he came out of Leah’s tent and went into Rachel’s tent.
拉班进了雅各,利亚, 并两个使女的帐棚, 都没有搜出来, 就从利亚的帐棚出来, 进了拉结的帐棚.

31:34 Now Rachel had taken the idols and put them in the saddle bag of the camel and sat on them. And Jacob searched the whole tent thoroughly but did not find them.
拉结已经把神像藏在骆驼的驮篓里, 便坐在上头. 拉班摸遍了那帐棚, 并没有摸著.

31:35 And she said to her father, “Let there not be anger in the eyes of my lord, for I am not able to rise before you, for the way of women is with me. And he searched carefully and did not find the idols.
拉结对她父亲说: “现在我身上不便, 不能在你面前起来, 求我主不要生气. ”这样, 拉班搜寻神像, 竟没有搜出来.

31:36 Then Jacob became angry and quarreled with Laban. Jacob answered and said to Laban, “What is my offense? What is my sin that you pursued after me?
雅各就发怒斥责拉班说: “我有甚么过犯, 有甚么罪恶, 你竟这样火速地追我?

31:37 For you have searched all my possessions and what did you find among all the possessions of my household? Set it before my kinsmen and your kinsmen that they may decide between the two of us!
你摸遍了我一切的家具, 你搜出甚么来呢? 可以放在你我弟兄面前, 叫他们在你我中间辨别辨别.

31:38 These twenty years I was with you; your ewes and your female goats did not miscarry, and the rams of your flocks I did not eat.
我在你家这二十年, 你的母绵羊,母山羊没有掉过胎. 你群中的公羊, 我没有吃过;

31:39 I brought no mangled carcass to you—I bore its loss. From my hand you sought it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
被野兽撕裂的, 我没有带来给你, 是我自己赔上. 无论是白日, 是黑夜, 被偷去的, 你都向我索要.

31:40 There I was, during the day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
我白日受尽干热, 黑夜受尽寒霜, 不得合眼睡著, 我常是这样.

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

31:42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac had not been with me, indeed now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my misery and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.”
若不是我父亲以撒所敬畏的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神与我同在, 你如今必定打发我空手而去. 神看见我的苦情和我的劳碌, 就在昨夜责备你. ”

31:43 Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters and the grandsons are my grandsons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see, it is mine. Now, what can I do for these my daughters today, or for their children whom they have borne?
拉班回答雅各说: “这女儿是我的女儿, 这些孩子是我的孩子, 这些羊群也是我的羊群; 凡在你眼前的都是我的. 我的女儿并她们所生的孩子, 我今日能向他们做甚么呢?

31:44 So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between me and you.”
来吧! 你我二人可以立约, 作你我中间的证据. ”

31:45 And Jacob took a stone and set it up as a stone pillar.
雅各就拿一块石头立作柱子,

31:46 And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a pile of stones, and they ate there by the pile of stones.
又对众弟兄说: “你们堆聚石头. ”他们就拿石头来堆成一堆, 大家便在旁边吃喝.

31:47 And Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
拉班称那石堆为伊迦尔‧撒哈杜他, 雅各却称那石堆为迦累得(都是以石堆为证的意思).

31:48 Then Laban said, “This pile of stones is a witness between me and you today.” Therefore its name is called Galeed,
拉班说: “今日这石堆作你我中间的证据. ”因此这地方名叫迦累得,

31:49 and Mizpah, because he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you when we are out of sight of each other.
又叫米斯巴, 意思说: “我们彼此离别以后, 愿耶和华在你我中间鉴察.

31:50 If you mistreat my daughters, and if you take wives besides my daughters, when there is no man with us, see—God is a witness between me and you.”
你若苦待我的女儿, 又在我的女儿以外另娶妻, 虽没有人知道, 却有神在你我中间作见证. ”

31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, “See, this pile of stones, and see the pillar that I have set up between me and you.
拉班又说: “你看我在你我中间所立的这石堆和柱子.

31:52 This pile of stones is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this pile of stones to you, and that you will not pass beyond this pile of stones and this pillar to me intending harm.
这石堆作证据, 这柱子也作证据. 我必不过这石堆去害你; 你也不可过这石堆和柱子来害我.

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

31:54 And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice on the hill, and he called his kinsmen to eat the meal. And they ate the meal and spent the night on the hill.
又在山上献祭, 请众弟兄来吃饭. 他们吃了饭, 便在山上住宿.

31:55 And Laban arose early in the morning and kissed his grandsons and his daughters, and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned to his homeland.
拉班清早起来, 与他外孙和女儿亲嘴, 给他们祝福, 回往自己的地方去了.

Genesis - Chapter 32

32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and angels of God met him.
雅各仍旧行路, 神的使者遇见他.

32:2 And when he saw them, Jacob said, “This is the camp of God!” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
雅各看见他们就说: “这是神的军兵”, 于是给那地方起名叫玛哈念(就是二军兵的意思).

32:3 Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the territory of Edom.
雅各打发人先往西珥地去, 就是以东地, 见他哥哥以扫,

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

32:5 And I have acquired cattle, male donkeys, flocks, and male and female slaves, and I have sent to tell my lord, to find favor in your eyes.’ ”
我有牛,驴,羊群,仆婢, 现在打发人来报告我主, 为要在你眼前蒙恩. ’”

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

32:7 Then Jacob was very frightened and distressed. So he divided the people, flocks, cattle, and camels that were with him into two companies.
雅各就甚惧怕, 而且愁烦, 便把那与他同在的人口和羊群,牛群,骆驼分做两队,

32:8 And he thought, “If Esau comes to one company and destroys it, the remaining company will be able to escape.”
说: “以扫若来击杀这一队, 剩下的那一队还可以逃避. ”

32:9 Then Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your land and to your family, and I will deal well with you.’
雅各说: “耶和华─我祖亚伯拉罕的神, 我父亲以撒的神啊, 你曾对我说: ‘回你本地本族去, 我要厚待你. ’

32:10 I am not worthy of all the loyal love and all the faithfulness that you have shown your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实, 我一点也不配得; 我先前只拿着我的杖过这约旦河, 如今我却成了两队了.

32:11 Please rescue me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and attack mother and children alike.
求你救我脱离我哥哥以扫的手; 因为我怕他来杀我, 连妻子带儿女一同杀了.

32:12 Now you yourself said, ‘I will surely deal well with you and make your offspring as the sand of the sea that cannot be counted for abundance.’ ”
你曾说: ‘我必定厚待你, 使你的后裔如同海边的沙, 多得不可胜数. ’”

32:13 And he lodged there that night. Then he took from what he had with him a gift for Esau his brother:
当夜, 雅各在那里住宿, 就从他所有的物中拿礼物要送给他哥哥以扫:

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

32:15 thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten male donkeys.
奶崽子的骆驼三十只─各带着崽子, 母牛四十只, 公牛十只, 母驴二十匹, 驴驹十匹;

32:16 And he put them under the hand of his servants, herd by herd, and said to his servants, “Cross on ahead before me, and put some distance between herds.
每样各分一群, 交在仆人手下, 就对仆人说: “你们要在我前头过去, 使群群相离, 有空闲的地方”;

32:17 And he instructed the foremost, saying, “When Esau my brother comes upon you and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you and where are you going? To whom do these animals belong ahead of you?’
又吩咐尽先走的说: “我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候, 问你说: ‘你是哪家的人? 要往哪里去? 你前头这些是谁的? ’

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

32:19 And he also instructed the second servant and the third, and everyone else who was behind the herds, saying, “You must speak to Esau according to this word when you find him.
又吩咐第二,第三, 和一切赶群畜的人说: “你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说;

32:20 And moreover, you shall say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is behind us.’ ” For he thought, “Let me appease him with the gift going before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will show me favor.”
并且你们要说: ‘你仆人雅各在我们后边. ’”因雅各心里说: “我藉著在我前头去的礼物解他的恨, 然后再见他的面, 或者他容纳我. ”

32:21 So the gift passed on before him, but he himself spent that night in the camp.
于是礼物先过去了; 那夜, 雅各在队中住宿.

32:22 That night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
他夜间起来, 带著两个妻子, 两个使女, 并十一个儿子, 都过了雅博渡口,

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

32:24 And Jacob remained alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the dawn.
只剩下雅各一人. 有一个人来和他摔跤, 直到黎明.

32:25 And when he saw that he could not prevail against him, he struck his hip socket, so that Jacob’s hip socket was sprained as he wrestled with him.
那人见自己胜不过他, 就将他的大腿窝摸了一把, 雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了.

32:26 Then he said, “Let me go, for dawn is breaking.” But he answered, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
那人说: “天黎明了, 容我去吧! ”雅各说: “你不给我祝福, 我就不容你去. ”

32:27 Then he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
那人说: “你名叫甚么? ”他说: “我名叫雅各. ”

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

32:29 Then Jacob asked and said, “Please tell me your name.” And he said, “Why do you ask this—for my name?” And he blessed him there.
雅各问他说: “请将你的名告诉我. ”那人说: “何必问我的名? ”于是在那里给雅各祝福.

32:30 Then Jacob called the name of the place Peniel which means “I have seen God face to face and my life was spared.”
雅各便给那地方起名叫毘努伊勒(就是神之面的意思), 意思说: “我面对面见了神, 我的性命仍得保全. ”

32:31 Then the sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
日头刚出来的时候, 雅各经过毘努伊勒, 他的大腿就瘸了.

32:32 Therefore the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the sciatic nerve that is upon the socket of the hip unto this day, because he struck the socket of the thigh of Jacob at the sinew of the sciatic nerve.
故此, 以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋, 直到今日, 因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋.

Genesis - Chapter 33

33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold, Esau was coming and four hundred men were with him. And he divided the children among Leah and among Rachel, and among the two of his female servants.
雅各举目观看, 见以扫来了, 后头跟着四百人, 他就把孩子们分开交给利亚,拉结, 和两个使女,

33:2 And he put the female slaves and their children first, then Leah and her children next, then Rachel with Joseph last.
并且叫两个使女和她们的孩子在前头, 利亚和她的孩子在后头, 拉结和约瑟在尽后头.

33:3 And he himself passed on before them and bowed down to the ground seven times until he came to his brother.
他自己在他们前头过去, 一连七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥.

33:4 But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell upon his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
以扫跑来迎接他, 将他抱住, 又搂着他的颈项, 与他亲嘴, 两个人就哭了.

33:5 Then Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children and said, “Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
以扫举目看见妇人孩子, 就说: “这些和你同行的是谁呢? ”雅各说: “这些孩子是神施恩给你的仆人的. ”

33:6 Then the female servants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
于是两个使女和她们的孩子前来下拜;

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

33:8 And he said, “What do you mean by all this company that I have met?” Then he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
以扫说: “我所遇见的这些群畜是甚么意思呢? ”雅各说: “是要在我主面前蒙恩的. ”

33:9 Then Esau said, “I have enough my brother; keep what you have.”
以扫说: “兄弟啊, 我的已经够了, 你的仍归你吧! ”

33:10 And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your eyes, you must take my gift from my hand, for then I have seen your face which is like seeing the face of God, and you have received me.
雅各说: “不然, 我若在你眼前蒙恩, 就求你从我手里收下这礼物; 因为我见了你的面, 如同见了神的面, 并且你容纳了我.

33:11 Please take my gift which has been brought to you, for God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” And he urged him, so he took it.
求你收下我带来给你的礼物; 因为神恩待我, 使我充足. ”雅各再三地求他, 他才收下了.

33:12 Then he said, “Let us journey and go on, and I will go ahead of you.”
以扫说: “我们可以起身前往, 我在你前头走. ”

33:13 But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and the flocks and the cattle which are nursing are a concern to me. Now if they drove them hard for a day all the flocks would die.
雅各对他说: “我主知道孩子们年幼娇嫩, 牛羊也正在乳养的时候, 若是催赶一天, 群畜都必死了.

33:14 Let my lord pass on before his servant and I will move along slowly at the pace of the livestock that are ahead of me, and at the pace of the children until I come to my lord in Seir.”
求我主在仆人前头走, 我要量著在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行, 直走到西珥我主那里. ”

33:15 And Esau said, “Let me leave some of my people with you.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
以扫说: “容我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里. ”雅各说: “何必呢? 只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了. ”

33:16 So Esau turned that day on his way to Seir.
于是, 以扫当日起行, 回往西珥去了.

33:17 But Jacob traveled on to Succoth, and he built for himself a house, and he made shelters for his livestock. Therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
雅各就往疏割去, 在那里为自己盖造房屋, 又为牲畜搭棚; 因此那地方名叫疏割(就是棚的意思).

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

33:19 And he bought a piece of land where he pitched his tent for one hundred pieces of money from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem.

34:7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were distressed and very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by having sexual relations with the daughter of Jacob—something that should not be done.
雅各的儿子们听见这事, 就从田野回来, 人人忿恨, 十分恼怒; 因示剑在以色列家做了丑事, 与雅各的女儿行淫, 这本是不该做的事.

34:8 And Hamor spoke with them saying, “Shechem my son is in love with your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife.
哈抹和他们商议说: “我儿子示剑的心恋慕这女子, 求你们将她给我的儿子为妻.

34:11 Then Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will do.
示剑对女儿的父亲和弟兄们说: “但愿我在你们眼前蒙恩, 你们向我要甚么, 我必给你们.

任凭向我要多重的聘金和礼物, 我必照你们所说的给你们; 只要把女子给我为妻. ”

34:13 Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor speaking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
雅各的儿子们因为示剑玷污了他们的妹子底拿, 就用诡诈的话回答示剑和他父亲哈抹,

34:14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace for us.
对他们说: “我们不能把我们的妹子给没有受割礼的人为妻, 因为那是我们的羞辱.

34:15 Only on this condition will we give consent to you; if you will become like us—every male among you to be circumcised.
惟有一件才可以应允: 若你们所有的男丁都受割礼, 和我们一样,

34:16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take for ourselves your daughters, and we will live with you and become one family.

34:18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Hamor.
哈抹和他的儿子示剑喜欢这话.

34:19 And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he wanted the daughter of Jacob. Now he was the most honored of his father’s house.
那少年人做这事并不迟延, 因为他喜爱雅各的女儿; 他在他父亲家中也是人最尊重的.

34:20 Then Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of their city, saying,
哈抹和他儿子示剑到本城的门口, 对本城的人说:

34:21 “These men are at peace with us. Let them dwell in the land and let them trade in it. Now, behold, the land is broad enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give our daughters to them.
“这些人与我们和睦, 不如许他们在这地居住, 做买卖; 这地也宽阔, 足可容下他们. 我们可以娶他们的女儿为妻, 也可以把我们的女儿嫁给他们.

34:22 Only on this condition will they give consent to us, to live with us and to become one family—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
惟有一件事我们必须做, 他们才肯应允和我们同住, 成为一样的人民: 就是我们中间所有的男丁都要受割礼, 和他们一样.

他们的群畜,货财, 和一切的牲口岂不都归我们吗? 只要依从他们, 他们就与我们同住. ”

34:24 And all those who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and Shechem. Every male was circumcised, all those who went out of the gate of his city.
凡从城门出入的人就都听从哈抹和他儿子示剑的话; 于是凡从城门出入的男丁都受了割礼.

34:25 And it happened that on the third day, while they were in pain, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, each took his sword and came against the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
到第三天, 众人正在疼痛的时候, 雅各的两个儿子, 就是底拿的哥哥西缅和利未, 各拿刀剑, 趁著众人想不到的时候来到城中, 把一切男丁都杀了,

34:26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and they took Dinah from the house of Shechem and went out.
又用刀杀了哈抹和他儿子示剑, 把底拿从示剑家里带出来就走了.

34:27 The other sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

34:29 They captured and plundered all that was in the houses—all their wealth, their little ones, and their women.

34:30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, making me stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites! I am few in number! If they gather against me and attack me, I will be destroyed—I and my household!”
雅各对西缅和利未说: “你们连累我, 使我在这地的居民中, 就是在迦南人和比利洗人中, 有了臭名. 我的人丁既然稀少, 他们必聚集来击杀我, 我和全家的人都必灭绝. ”

34:31 But they said, “Shall he treat our sister like a prostitute?”
他们说: “他岂可待我们的妹子如同妓女吗? ”

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

37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers. Now he was a helper with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
雅各的记略如下. 约瑟十七岁与他哥哥们一同牧羊. 他是个童子, 与他父亲的妾辟拉,悉帕的儿子们常在一处. 约瑟将他哥哥们的恶行报给他们的父亲.

37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, for he was a son of his old age. And he made a robe with long sleeves for him.
以色列原来爱约瑟过于爱他的众子, 因为约瑟是他年老生的; 他给约瑟做了一件彩衣.

37:4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.
约瑟的哥哥们见父亲爱约瑟过于爱他们, 就恨约瑟, 不与他说和睦的话.

37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers. And they hated him even more.
约瑟做了一梦, 告诉他哥哥们, 他们就越发恨他.

37:6 And he said to them, “Listen now to this dream that I dreamed.
约瑟对他们说: “请听我所做的梦:

37:7 Now behold, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field and, behold, my sheaf stood up and it remained standing. Then behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
我们在田里捆禾稼, 我的捆起来站着, 你们的捆来围着我的捆下拜. ”

37:8 Then his brothers said to him, “Will you really rule over us?” And they hated him even more on account of his dream and because of his words.
他的哥哥们回答说: “难道你真要作我们的王吗? 难道你真要管辖我们吗? ”他们就因为他的梦和他的话越发恨他.

37:9 Then he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
后来他又做了一梦, 也告诉他的哥哥们说: “看哪, 我又做了一梦, 梦见太阳,月亮, 与十一个星向我下拜. ”

37:10 And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the ground to you?”
约瑟将这梦告诉他父亲和他哥哥们, 他父亲就责备他说: “你做的这是甚么梦! 难道我和你母亲,你弟兄果然要来俯伏在地, 向你下拜吗? ”

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

37:12 Now his brothers went to pasture the flock of their father in Shechem.
约瑟的哥哥们往示剑去放他们父亲的羊.

37:13 And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing in Shechem? Come, let me send you to them.” And he said, “Here I am.”
以色列对约瑟说: “你哥哥们不是在示剑放羊吗? 你来, 我要打发你往他们那里去. ”约瑟说: “我在这里. ”

37:14 Then he said to him, “Go now, see if it goes well for your brothers and for the flock, then return word to me.” And he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he arrived at Shechem.
以色列说: “你去看看你哥哥们平安不平安, 群羊平安不平安, 就回来报信给我. ”于是打发他出希伯仑谷, 他就往示剑去了.

37:15 And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering about in a field. And the man asked him, “What do you seek?”
有人遇见他在田野走迷了路, 就问他说: “你找甚么? ”

37:16 And he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing.”
他说: “我找我的哥哥们, 求你告诉我, 他们在何处放羊. ”

37:17 And the man said, “They have moved on from here, for I heard them saying, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” Then Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
那人说: “他们已经走了, 我听见他们说要往多坍去. ”约瑟就去追赶他哥哥们, 遇见他们在多坍.

37:18 And they saw him from a distance. And before he drew near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
他们远远地看见他, 趁他还没有走到跟前, 大家就同谋要害死他,

37:19 And each said to his brothers, “Look, this master of dreams is coming.
彼此说: “你看! 那做梦的来了.

37:20 Now then, come, let us kill him and throw him in one of the pits. Then we will say a wild animal devoured him. Then we will see what his dreams become.”
来吧! 我们将他杀了, 丢在一个坑里, 就说有恶兽把他吃了. 我们且看他的梦将来怎么样. ”

37:21 And Reuben heard it and delivered him from their hand and said, “We must not take his life.”
流便听见了, 要救他脱离他们的手, 说: “我们不可害他的性命”;

37:22 And Reuben said to them, “You must not shed blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the desert, but do not lay a hand on him”—so that he might rescue him from their hand to return him to his father.
又说: “不可流他的血, 可以把他丢在这野地的坑里, 不可下手害他. ”流便的意思是要救他脱离他们的手, 把他归还他的父亲.

37:23 And it happened that as Joseph came to his brothers they stripped Joseph of his robe, the robe with long sleeves, that was upon him.
约瑟到了他哥哥们那里, 他们就剥了他的外衣, 就是他穿的那件彩衣,

37:24 And they took him and threw him into the pit (the pit was empty; there was no water in it).
把他丢在坑里; 那坑是空的, 里头没有水.

37:25 Then they sat down to eat some food. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead. And their camels were carrying aromatic gum and balm and spices on the way to Egypt.
他们坐下吃饭, 举目观看, 见有一伙米甸的以实玛利人从基列来, 用骆驼驮著香料,乳香,没药, 要带下埃及去.

37:26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
犹大对众弟兄说: “我们杀我们的兄弟, 藏了他的血有甚么益处呢?

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

37:28 Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and brought him up from the pit, and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
有些米甸的商人从那里经过, 哥哥们就把约瑟从坑里拉上来, 讲定二十舍客勒银子, 把约瑟卖给以实玛利人. 他们就把约瑟带到埃及去了.

37:29 Then Reuben returned to the pit and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes.
流便回到坑边, 见约瑟不在坑里, 就撕裂衣服,

37:30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone! Now I, what can I do?”
回到兄弟们那里, 说: “童子没有了. 我往哪里去才好呢? ”

37:31 Then they took the robe of Joseph and slaughtered a goat, and dipped the robe in the blood.
他们宰了一只公山羊, 把约瑟的那件彩衣染了血,

37:32 Then they sent the robe with long sleeves and they brought it to their father and said, “We found this; please examine it. Is it the robe of your son or not?”
打发人送到他们的父亲那里, 说: “我们捡了这个; 请认一认是你儿子的外衣不是? ”

37:33 And he recognized it and said, “The robe of my son! A wild animal has devoured him! Joseph is surely torn to pieces!”
他认得, 就说: “这是我儿子的外衣. 有恶兽把他吃了, 约瑟被撕碎了! 撕碎了! ”

37:34 And Jacob tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.
雅各便撕裂衣服, 腰间围上麻布, 为他儿子悲哀了多日.

37:35 And all his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he refused to be consoled. And he said, “No, I shall go down to my son, to Sheol, mourning.” And his father wept for him.
他的儿女都起来安慰他, 他却不肯受安慰, 说: “我必悲哀著下阴间, 到我儿子那里. ”约瑟的父亲就为他哀哭.

37:36 And the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, a court official of Pharaoh, a commander of the imperial guard.
米甸人带约瑟到埃及, 把他卖给法老的内臣─护卫长波提乏.

Genesis - Chapter 38

38:1 And it happened that at that time Judah went down from his brothers and pitched his tent near a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
那时, 犹大离开他弟兄下去, 到一个亚杜兰人名叫希拉的家里去.

38:2 And Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite there whose name was Shua. And he took her and went in to her.
犹大在那里看见一个迦南人名叫书亚的女儿, 就娶她为妻, 与她同房,

38:3 And she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.
她就怀孕生了儿子, 犹大给他起名叫珥.

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

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

38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
犹大为长子珥娶妻, 名叫她玛.

38:7 And Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh killed him.
犹大的长子珥在耶和华眼中看为恶, 耶和华就叫他死了.

38:8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”
犹大对俄南说: “你当与你哥哥的妻子同房, 向她尽你为弟的本分, 为你哥哥生子立后. ”

38:9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be for him, so whenever he went in to the wife of his brother he would waste it on the ground so as not to give offspring to his brother.
俄南知道生子不归自己, 所以同房的时候便遗在地, 免得给他哥哥留后.

38:10 And what he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh, so he killed him also.
俄南所做的在耶和华眼中看为恶, 耶和华也就叫他死了.

38:11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Stay a widow in your father’s house until Shelah my son grows up,” for he feared he would also die like his brother. So Tamar went and stayed in the house of her father.
犹大心里说: “恐怕示拉也死, 像他两个哥哥一样”, 就对他儿妇她玛说: “你去, 在你父亲家里守寡, 等我儿子示拉长大. ”她玛就回去, 住在她父亲家里.

38:12 And in the course of time the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. When Judah was consoled he went up to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite, to Timnah.
过了许久, 犹大的妻子书亚的女儿死了. 犹大得了安慰, 就和他朋友亚杜兰人希拉上亭拿去, 到他剪羊毛的人那里.

38:13 And it was told to Tamar, saying, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
有人告诉她玛说: “你的公公上亭拿剪羊毛去了. ”

38:14 So she removed the clothes of her widowhood and covered herself with the veil and disguised herself. And she sat at the entrance to Eynayim, which is on the way to Timnah, for she saw that Shelah was grown but she had not been given to him as a wife.
她玛见示拉已经长大, 还没有娶她为妻, 就脱了她作寡妇的衣裳, 用帕子蒙着脸, 又遮住身体, 坐在亭拿路上的伊拿印城门口.

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

38:16 And he turned aside to her at the roadside and said, “Please come, let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, “What will you give to me that you may come in to me?”
犹大就转到她那里去, 说: “来吧! 让我与你同寝. ”他原不知道是他的儿妇. 她玛说: “你要与我同寝, 把甚么给我呢? ”

38:17 And he said, “I will send a kid from the goats of the flock.” And she said, “Only if you give a pledge until you send it.”
犹大说: “我从羊群里取一只山羊羔, 打发人送来给你. ”她玛说: “在未送以先, 你愿意给我一个当头吗? ”

38:18 And he said, “What is the pledge that I must give to you?” And she said, “your seal, your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” And he gave them to her and went in to her. And she conceived by him.
他说: “我给你甚么当头呢? ”她玛说: “你的印,你的带子, 和你手里的杖. ”犹大就给了她, 与她同寝, 她就从犹大怀了孕.

38:19 And she arose and left, and she removed her veil from herself and put on the garments of her widowhood.
她玛起来走了, 除去帕子, 仍旧穿上作寡妇的衣裳.

38:20 And Judah sent the kid from the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the hand of the woman, but he could not find her.
犹大托他朋友亚杜兰人送一只山羊羔去, 要从那女人手里取回当头来, 却找不着她,

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

38:22 Then he returned to Judah and said, “I could not find her. Morever, the men of the place said, ‘There is no cult prostitute here.’ ”
他回去见犹大说: “我没有找着她, 并且那地方的人说: ‘这里没有妓女. ’”

38:23 And Judah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we be laughed at. Behold, I sent this kid, but you could not find her.”
犹大说: “我把这山羊羔送去了, 你竟找不着她. 任凭她拿去吧, 免得我们被羞辱. ”

38:24 And about three months later it was told to Judah, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the whore, and now, behold, she has conceived by prostitution.” And Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned.”
约过了三个月, 有人告诉犹大说: “你的儿妇她玛作了妓女, 且因行淫有了身孕. ”犹大说: “拉出她来, 把她烧了! ”

38:25 She was brought out, but she sent to her father-in-law saying, “By the man to whom these belong I have conceived.” And she said, “Now discern to whom these belong: the seal and cord and the staff.”
她玛被拉出来的时候便打发人去见她公公, 对他说: “这些东西是谁的, 我就是从谁怀的孕. 请你认一认, 这印和带子并杖都是谁的? ”

38:26 Then Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.
犹大承认说: “她比我更有义, 因为我没有将她给我的儿子示拉. ”从此犹大不再与她同寝了.

38:27 And it happened that at the time she gave birth that, behold, twins were in her womb.
她玛将要生产, 不料她腹里是一对双生.

38:28 And it happened that at her labor one child put out a hand. And the midwife took it and tied a crimson thread on his hand saying, “This one came out first.”
到生产的时候, 一个孩子伸出一只手来; 收生婆拿红线拴在他手上, 说: “这是头生的. ”

38:29 Then his hand drew back and, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” And she called his name Perez.
随后这孩子把手收回去, 他哥哥生出来了; 收生婆说: “你为甚么抢著来呢? ”因此给他起名叫法勒斯.

38:30 And afterward his brother who had the crimson thread on his hand came out. And his name was called Zerah.
后来, 他兄弟那手上有红线的也生出来, 就给他起名叫谢拉.

Genesis - Chapter 39

39:1 Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a court official of Pharaoh, commander of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there.
约瑟被带下埃及去. 有一个埃及人, 是法老的内臣─护卫长波提乏, 从那些带下他来的以实玛利人手下买了他去.

39:2 And Yahweh was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
约瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中, 耶和华与他同在, 他就百事顺利.

39:3 And his master observed that Yahweh was with him, and everything that was in his hand to do Yahweh made successful.
他主人见耶和华与他同在, 又见耶和华使他手里所办的尽都顺利,

39:4 And Joseph found favor in his eyes and he served him. Then he appointed him over his house and all that he owned he put into his hand.
约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩, 伺候他主人, 并且主人派他管理家务, 把一切所有的都交在他手里.

39:5 And it happened that from the time he appointed him over his house and over all that he had, Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian on account of Joseph. And the blessing of Yahweh was upon all that he had in the house and in the field.
自从主人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的, 耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福与那埃及人的家; 凡家里和田间一切所有的都蒙耶和华赐福.

39:6 And he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and he did not worry about anything except the food that he ate. Now Joseph was well built and handsome.
波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的手中, 除了自己所吃的饭, 别的事一概不知. 约瑟原来秀雅俊美.

39:7 And it happened that after these things his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.”
这事以后, 约瑟主人的妻以目送情给约瑟, 说: “你与我同寝吧! ”

39:8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not worry about what is in the house, and everything he owns he has put in my hand.
约瑟不从, 对他主人的妻说: “看哪, 一切家务, 我主人都不知道; 他把所有的都交在我手里.

39:9 He has no greater authority in this house than me, and he has not withheld anything from me except you, since you are his wife. Now how could I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
在这家里没有比我大的; 并且他没有留下一样不交给我, 只留下了你, 因为你是他的妻子. 我怎能作这大恶, 得罪神呢? ”

39:10 And it happened that as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not heed her to lie beside her or to be with her.
后来她天天和约瑟说, 约瑟却不听从她, 不与她同寝, 也不和她在一处.

39:11 But one particular day he came into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house were there in the house,
有一天, 约瑟进屋里去办事, 家中人没有一个在那屋里,

39:12 she seized him by his garment and said, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and he went outside.
妇人就拉住他的衣裳, 说: “你与我同寝吧! ”约瑟把衣裳丢在妇人手里, 跑到外边去了.

39:13 And it happened that when she saw that he left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
妇人看见约瑟把衣裳丢在她手里跑出去了,

39:14 she called to the men of her house and said to them, “Look! He brought a Hebrew man to us to mock us! He came to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
就叫了家里的人来, 对他们说: “你们看! 他带了一个希伯来人进入我们家里, 要戏弄我们. 他到我这里来, 要与我同寝, 我就大声喊叫.

39:15 And when he heard me, that I raised my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me and fled, and he went outside.”
他听见我放声喊起来, 就把衣裳丢在我这里, 跑到外边去了. ”

39:16 Then she put his garment beside her until his master came to his house.
妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里, 等著他主人回家,

39:17 Then she spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew slave that you brought to us came to me to make fun of me.
就对他如此如此说: “你所带到我们这里的那希伯来仆人进来要戏弄我,

39:18 And it happened that as I raised my voice and called out, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.”
我放声喊起来, 他就把衣裳丢在我这里, 跑出去了. ”

39:19 And when his master heard the words of his wife that she spoke to him, “This is what your servant did to me,” he became very angry.
约瑟的主人听见他妻子对他所说的话, 说“你的仆人如此如此待我”, 他就生气,

39:20 And Joseph’s master took him and put him into prison, the place that the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in prison.
把约瑟下在监里, 就是王的囚犯被囚的地方. 于是约瑟在那里坐监.

凡在约瑟手下的事, 司狱一概不察, 因为耶和华与约瑟同在; 耶和华使他所做的尽都顺利.

Genesis - Chapter 40

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

40:2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, with the chief cupbearer and chief baker.
法老就恼怒酒政和膳长这二臣,

40:3 And he put them in custody in the house of the chief of the guard, into the prison where Joseph was confined.
把他们下在护卫长府内的监里, 就是约瑟被囚的地方.

40:4 And the chief of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. And they were in custody many days.
护卫长把他们交给约瑟, 约瑟便伺候他们; 他们有些日子在监里.

40:5 And the two of them, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, dreamed a dream, each his own dream, with its own interpretation.
被囚在监之埃及王的酒政和膳长二人同夜各做一梦, 各梦都有讲解.

40:6 When Joseph came to them in the morning he looked at them, and behold, they were troubled.
到了早晨, 约瑟进到他们那里, 见他们有愁闷的样子.

40:7 And he asked the court officials of Pharaoh that were with him in the custody of his master’s house, “Why are your faces sad today?”
他便问法老的二臣, 就是与他同囚在他主人府里的, 说: “你们今日为甚么面带愁容呢? ”

40:8 And they said to him, “We each dreamed a dream, but there is no one to interpret it.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
他们对他说: “我们各人做了一梦, 没有人能解. ”约瑟说: “解梦不是出于神吗? 请你们将梦告诉我. ”

40:9 Then the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and he said to him, “In my dream, now behold, there was a vine before me,
酒政便将他的梦告诉约瑟说: “我梦见在我面前有一棵葡萄树,

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

40:11 And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into the cup of Pharaoh. Then I placed the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.”
法老的杯在我手中, 我就拿葡萄挤在法老的杯里, 将杯递在他手中. ”

40:12 Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: The three branches, they are three days.
约瑟对他说: “你所做的梦是这样解: 三根枝子就是三天;

40:13 In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and will restore you to your office. And you shall put the cup of Pharaoh into his hand as was formerly the custom, when you were his cupbearer.
三天之内, 法老必提你出监, 叫你官复原职, 你仍要递杯在法老的手中, 和先前作他的酒政一样.

40:14 But remember me when it goes well with you, and please may you show kindness with respect to me, and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
但你得好处的时候, 求你记念我, 施恩与我, 在法老面前提说我, 救我出这监牢.

40:15 For I was surely kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me in this pit.”
我实在是从希伯来人之地被拐来的; 我在这里也没有做过甚么, 叫他们把我下在监里. ”

40:16 And when the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good he said to Joseph, “I also dreamed. In my dream, now behold, there were three baskets of bread upon my head.
膳长见梦解得好, 就对约瑟说: “我在梦中见我头上顶着三筐白饼;

40:17 And in the upper basket were all sorts of baked foods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket upon my head.”
极上的筐子里有为法老烤的各样食物, 有飞鸟来吃我头上筐子里的食物. ”

40:18 Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: The three baskets, they are three days.
约瑟说: “你的梦是这样解: 三个筐子就是三天;

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

40:20 And it happened that on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker in the midst of his servants.
到了第三天, 是法老的生日, 他为众臣仆设摆筵席, 把酒政和膳长提出监来,

40:21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his cupbearing position. And he placed the cup in the hand of Pharaoh.
使酒政官复原职, 他仍旧递杯在法老手中;

40:22 But the chief baker he hanged as Joseph had interpreted to them.
但把膳长挂起来, 正如约瑟向他们所解的话.

40:23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
酒政却不记念约瑟, 竟忘了他.

Genesis - Chapter 41

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

41:2 And behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
有七只母牛从河里上来, 又美好又肥壮, 在芦荻中吃草.

41:3 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood beside those cows on the bank of the Nile.
随后又有七只母牛从河里上来, 又丑陋又干瘦, 与那七只母牛一同站在河边.

41:4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate the seven well built and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
这又丑陋又干瘦的七只母牛吃尽了那又美好又肥壮的七只母牛. 法老就醒了.

41:5 And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time, and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were coming out of one stalk.
他又睡着, 第二回做梦, 梦见一棵麦子长了七个穗子, 又肥大又佳美,

41:6 And behold, seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
随后又长了七个穗子, 又细弱又被东风吹焦了.

41:7 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven plump and full ears of grain. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
这细弱的穗子吞了那七个又肥大又饱满的穗子. 法老醒了, 不料是个梦.

41:8 And it happened that in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called all of the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh told his dream to them. But they had no interpretation for Pharaoh.
到了早晨, 法老心里不安, 就差人召了埃及所有的术士和博士来; 法老就把所做的梦告诉他们, 却没有人能给法老圆解.

41:9 Then the chief of the cupbearers spoke with Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my sins today.
那时酒政对法老说: “我今日想起我的罪来.

41:10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the house of the chief of the guard.
从前法老恼怒臣仆, 把我和膳长下在护卫长府内的监里.

41:11 And we dreamed a dream one night, I and he, each with a dream that had a meaning.
我们二人同夜各做一梦, 各梦都有讲解.

41:12 And there with us was a young man, a Hebrew servant of the chief of the guard, and we told him the dream, and he interpreted our dreams for us, each according to his dream he interpreted.
在那里同着我们有一个希伯来的少年人, 是护卫长的仆人, 我们告诉他, 他就把我们的梦圆解, 是按著各人的梦圆解的.

41:13 And it happened just as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and him he hanged.”
后来正如他给我们圆解的成就了: 我官复原职, 膳长被挂起来了.

41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they brought him quickly from the prison. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
法老遂即差人去召约瑟, 他们便急忙带他出监, 他就剃头, 刮脸, 换衣裳, 进到法老面前.

41:15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream, but there is none to interpret it. Now, I have heard concerning you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
法老对约瑟说: “我做了一梦, 没有人能解; 我听见人说, 你听了梦就能解. ”

41:16 Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It is not in my power; God will answer concerning the well-being of Pharaoh.”
约瑟回答法老说: “这不在乎我, 神必将平安的话回答法老. ”

41:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
法老对约瑟说: “我梦见我站在河边,

41:18 and behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
有七只母牛从河里上来, 又肥壮又美好, 在芦荻中吃草.

41:19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
随后又有七只母牛上来, 又软弱又丑陋又干瘦, 在埃及遍地, 我没有见过这样不好的.

41:20 And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows.
这又干瘦又丑陋的母牛吃尽了那以先的七只肥母牛,

41:21 But when they went into their bellies it could not be known that they went into their bellies, for their appearance was as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
吃了以后却看不出是吃了, 那丑陋的样子仍旧和先前一样. 我就醒了.

41:22 Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good.
我又梦见一棵麦子, 长了七个穗子, 又饱满又佳美,

41:23 And behold, seven withered ears of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
随后又长了七个穗子, 枯槁细弱, 被东风吹焦了.

41:24 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears of grain. And I told the magicians, but there was none to explain it to me.”
这些细弱的穗子吞了那七个佳美的穗子. 我将这梦告诉了术士, 却没有人能给我解说. ”

41:25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
约瑟对法老说: “法老的梦乃是一个. 神已将所要做的事指示法老了.

41:26 The seven good cows, they are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain, they are seven years. The dreams are one.
七只好母牛是七年, 七个好穗子也是七年; 这梦乃是一个.

41:27 And the seven thin and ugly cows coming up after them, they are seven years, and the seven empty ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, they are also seven years of famine.
那随后上来的七只又干瘦又丑陋的母牛是七年, 那七个虚空,被东风吹焦的穗子也是七年, 都是七个荒年.

41:28 This is the word that I have spoken to Pharaoh; God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
这就是我对法老所说, 神已将所要做的事显明给法老了.

41:29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.
埃及遍地必来七个大丰年,

41:30 Then seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will consume the land.
随后又要来七个荒年, 甚至在埃及地都忘了先前的丰收, 全地必被饥荒所灭.

41:31 Abundance in the land will not be known because of the famine that follows, for it will be very heavy.
因那以后的饥荒甚大, 便不觉得先前的丰收了.

41:32 Now concerning the repetition of the dream twice to Pharaoh, it is because the matter is established by God, and God will do it quickly.
至于法老两回做梦, 是因神命定这事, 而且必速速成就.

41:33 Now then, let Pharaoh select a man who is discerning and wise, and let him set him over the land of Egypt.
所以, 法老当拣选一个有聪明有智慧的人, 派他治理埃及地.

41:34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint supervisors over the land, and let him take one-fifth from the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.
法老当这样行, 又派官员管理这地. 当七个丰年的时候, 征收埃及地的五分之一,

41:35 Then let them gather all the food of these coming good years and let them pile up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
叫他们把将来丰年一切的粮食聚敛起来, 积蓄五谷, 收存在各城里做食物, 归于法老的手下.

41:36 Then the food shall be as a deposit for the land for the seven years of the famine that will be in the land of Egypt, that the land will not perish on account of the famine.”
所积蓄的粮食可以防备埃及地将来的七个荒年, 免得这地被饥荒所灭. ”

41:37 And the plan was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
法老和他一切臣仆都以这事为妙.

41:38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this in whom is the spirit of God?”
法老对臣仆说: “像这样的人, 有神的灵在他里头, 我们岂能找得着呢? ”

41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all of this known to you there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
法老对约瑟说: “神既将这事都指示你, 可见没有人像你这样有聪明有智慧.

41:40 You shall be over my house, and to your word all my people shall submit. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
你可以掌管我的家; 我的民都必听从你的话. 惟独在宝座上我比你大. ”

41:41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
法老又对约瑟说: “我派你治理埃及全地. ”

41:42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his finger and put it on the finger of Joseph. And he clothed him with garments of fine linen, and he put a chain of gold around his neck.
法老就摘下手上打印的戒指, 戴在约瑟的手上, 给他穿上细麻衣, 把金炼戴在他的颈项上,

41:43 And he had him ride in his second chariot. And they cried out before him, “Kneel!” And Pharaoh set him over all the land of Egypt.
又叫约瑟坐他的副车, 喝道的在前呼叫说: “跪下. ”这样, 法老派他治理埃及全地.

41:44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your consent no one will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
法老对约瑟说: “我是法老, 在埃及全地, 若没有你的命令, 不许人擅自办事(原文是动手动脚). ”

41:45 And Pharaoh called the name of Joseph Zaphenath-paneah and gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
法老赐名给约瑟, 叫撒发那忒‧巴内亚, 又将安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给他为妻. 约瑟就出去巡行埃及地.

41:46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and traveled through the whole land of Egypt.
约瑟见埃及王法老的时候年三十岁. 他从法老面前出去, 遍行埃及全地.

41:47 And the land produced a plenty in the seven years of abundance.
七个丰年之内, 地的出产极丰极盛(原文是一把一把的),

41:48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt. And he stored the food in the cities. The food of the field that surrounded each city he stored in its midst.
约瑟聚敛埃及地七个丰年一切的粮食, 把粮食积存在各城里; 各城周围田地的粮食都积存在本城里.

41:49 And Joseph piled up grain like the sand of the sea in great abundance until he stopped counting it, for it could not be counted.
约瑟积蓄五谷甚多, 如同海边的沙, 无法计算, 因为谷不可胜数.

41:50 Before the years of famine came, Asenath, daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore two sons to him.
荒年未到以前, 安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给约瑟生了两个儿子.

41:51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has caused me to forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.”
约瑟给长子起名叫玛拿西(就是使之忘了的意思), 因为他说: “神使我忘了一切的困苦和我父的全家. ”

41:52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune.”
他给次子起名叫以法莲(就是使之昌盛的意思), 因为他说: “神使我在受苦的地方昌盛. ”

41:53 And the seven years of abundance which were in the land of Egypt came to an end.
埃及地的七个丰年一完,

41:54 And the seven years of famine began to come as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all of the countries, but in the land of Egypt there was food.
七个荒年就来了. 正如约瑟所说的, 各地都有饥荒; 惟独埃及全地有粮食.

41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was hungry the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. And Pharaoh said to all the land of Egypt, “Go to Joseph; what he says to you, you must do.”
及至埃及全地有了饥荒, 众民向法老哀求粮食, 法老对他们说: “你们往约瑟那里去, 凡他所说的, 你们都要做. ”

41:56 And the famine was over the whole land, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold food to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
当时饥荒遍满天下, 约瑟开了各处的仓, 粜粮给埃及人; 在埃及地饥荒甚大.

41:57 And every land came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, for the famine was severe in every land.
各地的人都往埃及去, 到约瑟那里籴粮, 因为天下的饥荒甚大.

Genesis - Chapter 42

42:1 When Jacob realized that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
雅各见埃及有粮, 就对儿子们说: “你们为甚么彼此观望呢?

42:2 Then he said, “Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us there that we may live and not die.”
我听见埃及有粮, 你们可以下去, 从那里为我们籴些来, 使我们可以存活, 不至于死. ”

42:3 And the ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt.
于是, 约瑟的十个哥哥都下埃及籴粮去了.

42:4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, for he feared harm would come to him.
但约瑟的兄弟便雅悯, 雅各没有打发他和哥哥们同去, 因为雅各说: “恐怕他遭害. ”

42:5 Then the sons of Israel went to buy grain amid those other people who went as well, for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
来籴粮的人中有以色列的儿子们, 因为迦南地也有饥荒.

42:6 Now Joseph was the governor over the land. He was the one who sold food to all the people of the land. And the brothers of Joseph came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
当时治理埃及地的是约瑟; 粜粮给那地众民的就是他. 约瑟的哥哥们来了, 脸伏于地, 向他下拜.

42:7 And Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger to them. And he spoke with them harshly and said to them, “From where have you come?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
约瑟看见他哥哥们, 就认得他们, 却装作生人, 向他们说些严厉话, 问他们说: “你们从哪里来? ”他们说: “我们从迦南地来籴粮. ”

42:8 And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
约瑟认得他哥哥们, 他们却不认得他.

42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed concerning them, and he said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
约瑟想起从前所做的那两个梦, 就对他们说: “你们是奸细, 来窥探这地的虚实. ”

42:10 And they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
他们对他说: “我主啊, 不是的. 仆人们是籴粮来的.

42:11 We all are sons of one man. We are honest men. We, your servants, are not spies.”
我们都是一个人的儿子, 是诚实人; 仆人们并不是奸细. ”

42:12 Then he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
约瑟说: “不然, 你们必是窥探这地的虚实来的. ”

42:13 Then they said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, but behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”
他们说: “仆人们本是弟兄十二人, 是迦南地一个人的儿子, 顶小的现今在我们的父亲那里, 有一个没有了. ”

42:14 But Joseph said to them, “It is what I said to you—you are spies.
约瑟说: “我才说你们是奸细, 这话实在不错.

42:15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh you will not go out from here unless your youngest brother comes here.
我指着法老的性命起誓, 若是你们的小兄弟不到这里来, 你们就不得出这地方, 从此就可以把你们证验出来了.

42:16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, but you will be kept in prison so that your words might be tested to see if there is truth with you. And if not, by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
须要打发你们中间一个人去, 把你们的兄弟带来. 至于你们, 都要囚在这里, 好证验你们的话真不真, 若不真, 我指着法老的性命起誓, 你们一定是奸细. ”

42:17 Then he gathered them into the prison for three days.
于是约瑟把他们都下在监里三天.

42:18 On the third day Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live; I fear God.
到第三天, 约瑟对他们说: “我是敬畏神的; 你们照我的话行就可以存活.

42:19 If you are honest, let one of your brothers be kept in prison where you are now being kept, but the rest of you go, carry grain for the famine for your households.
你们如果是诚实人, 可以留你们中间的一个人囚在监里, 但你们可以带着粮食回去, 救你们家里的饥荒.

42:20 You must bring your youngest brother to me, and then your words will be confirmed and you will not die.” And they did so.
把你们的小兄弟带到我这里来, 如此, 你们的话便有证据, 你们也不至于死. ”他们就照样而行.

42:21 Then each said to his brother, “Surely we are guilty on account of our brother when we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded for mercy to us and we would not listen. Therefore this trouble has come to us.”
他们彼此说: “我们在兄弟身上实在有罪. 他哀求我们的时候, 我们见他心里的愁苦, 却不肯听, 所以这场苦难临到我们身上. ”

42:22 Then Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not say to you, do not sin against the boy? But you did not listen, and now, behold, his blood has been sought.”
流便说: “我岂不是对你们说过, 不可伤害那孩子吗? 只是你们不肯听, 所以流他血的罪向我们追讨. ”

42:23 Now they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
他们不知道约瑟听得出来, 因为在他们中间用通事传话.

42:24 And he turned away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and spoke to them, and took Simeon from them and tied him up in front of them.
约瑟转身退去, 哭了一场, 又回来对他们说话, 就从他们中间挑出西缅来, 在他们眼前把他捆绑.

42:25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain and to return their money to each sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. Thus he did for them.
约瑟吩咐人把粮食装满他们的器具, 把各人的银子归还在各人的口袋里, 又给他们路上用的食物, 人就照他的话办了.

42:26 Then they loaded their grain upon their donkeys and went away from there.
他们就把粮食驮在驴上, 离开那里去了.

42:27 And one of them later opened his sack to give fodder to his donkey at the lodging place and saw his money—behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
到了住宿的地方, 他们中间有一个人打开口袋, 要拿料喂驴, 才看见自己的银子仍在口袋里,

42:28 And he said to his brothers, “My money was returned and moreover, behold, it is in my sack!” Then their hearts failed them and each of them trembled and said, “What is this God has done to us?”
就对弟兄们说: “我的银子归还了, 看哪, 仍在我口袋里! ”他们就提心吊胆, 战战兢兢地彼此说: “这是神向我们做甚么呢? ”

42:29 And when they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan they told him everything that had happened to them, saying,
他们来到迦南地,他们的父亲雅各那里, 将所遭遇的事都告诉他, 说:

42:30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and treated us as if we were spying out the land.
“那地的主对我们说严厉的话, 把我们当作窥探那地的奸细.

42:31 But we said to him, ‘We are honest; we are not spies.
我们对他说: ‘我们是诚实人, 并不是奸细.

42:32 We are twelve brothers, the sons of our father. One is no more and the youngest is with our father now in the land of Canaan.’
我们本是弟兄十二人, 都是一个父亲的儿子, 有一个没有了, 顶小的如今同我们的父亲在迦南地. ’

42:33 Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest. Leave one brother with me, and take food for the famine in your households and go.
那地的主对我们说: ‘若要我知道你们是诚实人, 可以留下你们中间的一个人在我这里, 你们可以带着粮食回去, 救你们家里的饥荒.

42:34 And bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies but you are honest. And I will give your brother back to you, and you will trade in the land.’ ”
把你们的小兄弟带到我这里来, 我便知道你们不是奸细, 乃是诚实人. 这样, 我就把你们的弟兄交给你们, 你们也可以在这地做买卖. ’”

42:35 And it happened that when they emptied their sacks, behold, each one’s pouch of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw the pouches of their money, they were greatly distressed.
后来他们倒口袋, 不料, 各人的银包都在口袋里; 他们和父亲看见银包就都害怕.

42:36 And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me—Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and Benjamin you would take! All of this is against me!
他们的父亲雅各对他们说: “你们使我丧失我的儿子: “约瑟没有了, 西缅也没有了, 你们又要将便雅悯带去; 这些事都归到我身上了. ”

42:37 Then Reuben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hand and I myself will return him to you.”
流便对他父亲说: “我若不带他回来交给你, 你可以杀我的两个儿子. 只管把他交在我手里, 我必带他回来交给你. ”

42:38 But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead and he alone remains. If harm meets him on the journey that you would take, you would bring down my gray head in sorrow to Sheol.”
雅各说: “我的儿子不可与你们一同下去; 他哥哥死了, 只剩下他, 他若在你们所行的路上遭害, 那便是你们使我白发苍苍,悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了. ”

Genesis - Chapter 43

43:1 Now the famine in the land was severe.
那地的饥荒甚大.

43:2 And it happened that as they finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt their father said to them, “Return and buy a little food for us.”
他们从埃及带来的粮食吃尽了, 他们的父亲就对他们说: “你们再去给我籴些粮来. ”

43:3 Then Judah said to him, “The man solemnly admonished us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’
犹大对他说: “那人谆谆地告诫我们说: ‘你们的兄弟若不与你们同来, 你们就不得见我的面. ’

43:4 If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you,
你若打发我们的兄弟与我们同去, 我们就下去给你籴粮;

43:5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ”
你若不打发他去, 我们就不下去, 因为那人对我们说: ‘你们的兄弟若不与你们同来, 你们就不得见我的面. ’”

43:6 Then Israel said, “Why did you bring trouble to me by telling the man you still had a brother?”
以色列说: “你们为甚么这样害我, 告诉那人你们还有兄弟呢? ”

43:7 And they said, “The man asked explicitly about us and about our family, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Do you have a brother?’ And we answered him according to these words. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring down your brother’?”
他们回答说: “那人详细问到我们和我们的亲属, 说: ‘你们的父亲还在吗? 你们还有兄弟吗? ’我们就按著他所问的告诉他, 焉能知道他要说‘必须把你们的兄弟带下来’呢? ”

43:8 Then Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, so that we will live and not die—you, we, and our children.
犹大又对他父亲以色列说: “你打发童子与我同去, 我们就起身下去, 好叫我们和你, 并我们的妇人孩子, 都得存活, 不至于死.

43:9 I myself will be surety for him. You may seek him from my hand. If I do not bring him back to you and present him before you, then I will stand guilty before you forever.
我为他作保; 你可以从我手中追讨, 我若不带他回来交在你面前, 我情愿永远担罪.

43:10 Surely if we had not hesitated by this time we would have returned twice.”
我们若没有耽搁, 如今第二次都回来了. ”

43:11 Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so then do this. Take some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift—a little balm and honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, and pistachios and almonds.
他们的父亲以色列说: “若必须如此, 你们就当这样行: 可以将这地土产中最好的乳香,蜂蜜,香料,没药,榧子,杏仁都取一点, 收在器具里, 带下去送给那人作礼物,

43:12 And take double the money in your hands. Take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake.
又要手里加倍地带银子, 并将归还在你们口袋内的银子仍带在手里; 那或者是错了.

43:13 And take your brother. Now arise and return to the man.
也带著你们的兄弟, 起身去见那人.

43:14 And may El-Shaddai grant you compassion before the man that he may release your other brother to you and Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
但愿全能的神使你们在那人面前蒙怜悯, 释放你们的那弟兄和便雅悯回来. 我若丧了儿子, 就丧了吧! ”

43:15 So the men took this gift, and they took double money in their hands, and Benjamin, and they rose up and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
于是, 他们拿著那礼物, 又手里加倍地带银子, 并且带着便雅悯, 起身下到埃及, 站在约瑟面前.

43:16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them he said to the one who was over his household, “Bring the men into the house and slaughter and prepare an animal, for the men shall eat with me at noon.”
约瑟见便雅悯和他们同来, 就对家宰说: “将这些人领到屋里. 要宰杀牲畜, 预备筵席, 因为晌午这些人同我吃饭. ”

43:17 And the man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men into the house of Joseph.
家宰就遵著约瑟的命去行, 领他们进约瑟的屋里.

43:18 And the men were afraid when they were brought into the house of Joseph. And they said “We were brought here on account of the money that was returned to our sacks the first time, that he might attack us and fall upon us to take us as slaves with our donkeys.”
他们因为被领到约瑟的屋里, 就害怕, 说: “领我们到这里来, 必是因为头次归还在我们口袋里的银子, 找我们的错缝, 下手害我们, 强取我们为奴仆, 抢夺我们的驴. ”

43:19 So they approached the man who was over Joseph’s house and spoke to him at the doorway of the house.
他们就挨近约瑟的家宰, 在屋门口和他说话,

43:20 And they said, “Please, my lord, we surely came down once before to buy food,
说: “我主啊, 我们头次下来实在是要籴粮.

43:21 but when we came to the place of lodging and we opened our sacks, then behold, each one’s money was in the mouth of his sack—our money in its full weight—so we have returned with it in our hands.
后来到了住宿的地方, 我们打开口袋, 不料, 各人的银子, 分量足数, 仍在各人的口袋内, 现在我们手里又带回来了.

43:22 Now, other money we have brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”
另外又带下银子来籴粮. 不知道先前谁把银子放在我们的口袋里. ”

43:23 And he said, “Peace to you; do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have given you a treasure in your sacks; your money came to me.” And he brought Simeon out to them.
家宰说: “你们可以放心, 不要害怕, 是你们的神和你们父亲的神赐给你们财宝在你们的口袋里; 你们的银子, 我早已收了. ”他就把西缅带出来, 交给他们.

43:24 Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and he gave them water and washed their feet, and gave fodder to their donkeys.
家宰就领他们进约瑟的屋里, 给他们水洗脚, 又给他们草料喂驴.

43:25 Then they laid out the gift until Joseph came at noon, for they had heard that they were to eat food there.
他们就预备那礼物, 等候约瑟晌午来, 因为他们听见要在那里吃饭.

43:26 And when Joseph came into the house they brought the gift that was in their hand into the house to him, and they bowed down before him to the ground.
约瑟来到家里, 他们就把手中的礼物拿进屋去给他, 又俯伏在地, 向他下拜.

43:27 And he greeted them and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
约瑟问他们好, 又问: “你们的父亲─就是你们所说的那老人家平安吗? 他还在吗? ”

43:28 And they said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they knelt and bowed down.
他们回答说: “你仆人─我们的父亲平安; 他还在. ”于是他们低头下拜.

43:29 Then he lifted up his eyes and saw Benjamin his brother, the son of his mother, and said, “Is this your youngest brother of whom you told me?” And he continued, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
约瑟举目看见他同母的兄弟便雅悯, 就说: “你们向我所说那顶小的兄弟就是这位吗? ”又说: “小儿啊, 愿神赐恩给你! ”

43:30 Then Joseph hurried away, being overcome with emotion toward his brother, and sought for a place to cry. Then he went into a room and wept there.
约瑟爱弟之情发动, 就急忙寻找可哭之地, 进入自己的屋里, 哭了一场.

43:31 Then he washed his face and went out, now controlling himself, and said, “Serve the food.”
他洗了脸出来, 勉强隐忍, 吩咐人摆饭.

43:32 And they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, for Egyptians could not dine with Hebrews, because that was a detestable thing to Egyptians.
他们就为约瑟单摆了一席, 为那些人又摆了一席, 也为和约瑟同吃饭的埃及人另摆了一席, 因为埃及人不可和希伯来人一同吃饭; 那原是埃及人所厌恶的.

43:33 And they were seated before him from the firstborn according to his birthright to the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one another amazed.
约瑟使众弟兄在他面前排列坐席, 都按著长幼的次序, 众弟兄就彼此诧异.

43:34 And portions were served to them from his table, and the portion of Benjamin was five times greater than the portion of any of them. And they drank and became drunk with him.
约瑟把他面前的食物分出来, 送给他们; 但便雅悯所得的比别人多五倍. 他们就饮酒, 和约瑟一同宴乐.

Genesis - Chapter 44

44:1 Then he commanded the one who was over his household, saying, “Fill the sacks of the men with food as much as they are able to carry, and put each one’s money in the mouth of his sack.
约瑟吩咐家宰说: “把粮食装满这些人的口袋, 尽著他们的驴所能驮的, 又把各人的银子放在各人的口袋里,

44:2 And my cup—the cup of silver—you shall put into the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the money for his grain. And he did according to the word of Joseph that he had commanded.
并将我的银杯和那少年人籴粮的银子一同装在他的口袋里. ”家宰就照约瑟所说的话行了;

44:3 When the morning light came the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
天一亮就打发那些人带着驴走了.

44:4 They went out of the city, and had not gone far when Joseph said to the one who was over his house, “Arise! Pursue after the men and overtake them. Then you shall say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?
他们出城走了不远, 约瑟对家宰说: “起来, 追那些人去, 追上了就对他们说: ‘你们为甚么以恶报善呢?

44:5 Is this not that from which my master drinks? Now he himself certainly practices divination with it. You have done evil in what you have done.’ ”
这不是我主人饮酒的杯吗? 岂不是他占卜用的吗? 你们这样行是作恶了. ’”

44:6 When he overtook them he spoke these words to them.
家宰追上他们, 将这些话对他们说了.

44:7 And they said to him, “Why has my lord spoken according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
他们回答说: “我主为甚么说这样的话呢? 你仆人断不能做这样的事.

44:8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sacks we returned to you from the land of Canaan. Now why would we steal silver or gold from the house of my lord?
你看, 我们从前在口袋里所见的银子, 尚且从迦南地带来还你, 我们怎能从你主人家里偷窃金银呢?

44:9 Whoever is found with it from among your servants shall die. And moreover, we will become slaves to my lord.”
你仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来, 就叫他死, 我们也作我主的奴仆. ”

44:10 Then he said, “Now also according to your words, thus will it be. He who is found with it shall be my slave, but you shall be innocent.”
家宰说: “现在就照你们的话行吧! 在谁那里搜出来, 谁就作我的奴仆; 其余的都没有罪. ”

44:11 Then each man quickly brought down his sack to the ground, and each one opened his sack.
于是他们各人急忙把口袋卸在地下, 各人打开口袋.

44:12 And he searched, beginning with the oldest and finishing with the youngest. And the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin.
家宰就搜查, 从年长的起到年幼的为止, 那杯竟在便雅悯的口袋里搜出来.

44:13 Then they tore their clothes, and each one loaded his donkey and they returned to the city.
他们就撕裂衣服, 各人把驮子抬在驴上, 回城去了.

44:14 And Judah and his brothers came to the house of Joseph—now he was still there—they fell before him to the ground.
犹大和他弟兄们来到约瑟的屋中, 约瑟还在那里, 他们就在他面前俯伏于地.

44:15 Then Joseph said to them, “What is this deed that you have done? Did you not know that a man who is like me surely practices divination?”
约瑟对他们说: “你们做的是甚么事呢? 你们岂不知像我这样的人必能占卜吗? ”

44:16 And Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? Now how can we show ourselves innocent? God has found the guilt of your servants! Behold, we are slaves to my lord, both we and also he in whose hand the cup was found.”
犹大说: “我们对我主说甚么呢? 还有甚么话可说呢? 我们怎能自己表白出来呢? 神已经查出仆人的罪孽了. 我们与那在他手中搜出杯来的都是我主的奴仆. ”

44:17 But he said, “Far be it from me to do this! The man in whose hand the cup was found, he will become my slave. But as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
约瑟说: “我断不能这样行! 在谁的手中搜出杯来, 谁就作我的奴仆; 至于你们, 可以平平安安地上你们父亲那里去. ”

44:18 But Judah drew near to him and said, “Please my lord, let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and let not your anger burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
犹大挨近他, 说: “我主啊, 求你容仆人说一句话给我主听, 不要向仆人发烈怒, 因为你如同法老一样.

44:19 My lord had asked his servants, saying, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
我主曾问仆人们说: ‘你们有父亲有兄弟没有? ’

44:20 And we said to my lord, ‘We have an aged father, and a younger brother, the child of his old age, and his brother died, and he alone remains from his mother, and his father loves him.’
我们对我主说: ‘我们有父亲, 已经年老, 还有他老年所生的一个小孩子. 他哥哥死了, 他母亲只撇下他一人, 他父亲疼爱他. ’

44:21 Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me that I may set my eyes upon him.’
你对仆人说: ‘把他带到我这里来, 叫我亲眼看看他. ’

44:22 Then we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he should leave his father, then he would die.’
我们对我主说: ‘童子不能离开他父亲, 若是离开, 他父亲必死. ’

44:23 Then you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall not again see my face.’
你对仆人说: ‘你们的小兄弟若不与你们一同下来, 你们就不得再见我的面. ’

44:24 And it happened that we went up to your servant, my father, and told him the words of my lord.
我们上到你仆人─我们父亲那里, 就把我主的话告诉了他.

44:25 And when our father said, ‘Buy a little food for us,’
我们的父亲说: ‘你们再去给我籴些粮来. ’

44:26 then we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we shall go down. For we will not be able to see the face of the man unless our youngest brother is with us.’
我们就说: ‘我们不能下去. 我们的小兄弟若和我们同往, 我们就可以下去. 因为, 小兄弟若不与我们同往, 我们必不得见那人的面. ’

44:27 Then your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You yourselves know that my wife bore two sons to me.
你仆人─我父亲对我们说: ‘你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个儿子.

44:28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he must have been torn to pieces,” and I have never seen him since.
一个离开我出去了; 我说他必是被撕碎了, 直到如今我也没有见他.

44:29 And if you take this one also from me, and he encounters harm, you will bring down my gray head in sorrow to Sheol.’
现在你们又要把这个带去离开我, 倘若他遭害, 那便是你们使我白发苍苍,悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了. ’

44:30 So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—now his life is bound up with his life—
我父亲的命与这童子的命相连. 如今我回到你仆人─我父亲那里, 若没有童子与我们同在,

44:31 it shall happen that when he sees that the boy is gone, he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray head of your servant, our father, to Sheol with sorrow.
我们的父亲见没有童子, 他就必死. 这便是我们使你仆人─我们的父亲白发苍苍,悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了.

44:32 For your servant is pledged as surety for the boy by my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I shall be culpable to my father forever.
因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保, 说: ‘我若不带他回来交给父亲, 我便在父亲面前永远担罪. ’

44:33 So then, please let your servant remain in place of the boy as a slave to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
现在求你容仆人住下, 替这童子作我主的奴仆, 叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去.

44:34 For how can I go up to my father if the boy is not with me? I do not want to see the misery which will find my father.”
若童子不和我同去, 我怎能上去见我父亲呢? 恐怕我看见灾祸临到我父亲身上. ”

Genesis - Chapter 45

45:1 Then Joseph was not able to control himself before all who were standing by him. And he cried out, “Make every man go out from me!” So no one stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
约瑟在左右站着的人面前情不自禁, 吩咐一声说: “人都要离开我出去! ”约瑟和弟兄们相认的时候并没有一人站在他面前.

45:2 And he wept loudly, so that the Egyptians heard it and the household of Pharaoh heard it.
他就放声大哭; 埃及人和法老家中的人都听见了.

45:3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” And his brothers were unable to answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.
约瑟对他弟兄们说: “我是约瑟. 我的父亲还在吗? ”他弟兄不能回答, 因为在他面前都惊惶.

45:4 So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they drew near. And he said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
约瑟又对他弟兄们说: “请你们近前来. ”他们就近前来. 他说: “我是你们的兄弟约瑟, 就是你们所卖到埃及的.

45:5 So now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me as deliverance before you.
现在, 不要因为把我卖到这里自忧自恨. 这是神差我在你们以先来, 为要保全生命.

45:6 For these two years the famine has been in the midst of the land, but there will be five more years where there is no plowing or harvest.
现在这地的饥荒已经二年了, 还有五年不能耕种, 不能收成.

45:7 And God sent me before you all to preserve for you a remnant in the land and to keep alive among you many survivors.
神差我在你们以先来, 为要给你们存留余种在世上, 又要大施拯救, 保全你们的生命.

45:8 So now, you yourselves did not send me here, but God put me here as father to Pharaoh and as master of all his household, and a ruler over all the land of Egypt.
这样看来, 差我到这里来的不是你们, 乃是神. 他又使我如法老的父, 作他全家的主, 并埃及全地的宰相.

45:9 Hurry, and go up to my father and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me and do not delay.
你们要赶紧上到我父亲那里, 对他说: ‘你儿子约瑟这样说: 神使我作全埃及的主, 请你下到我这里来, 不要耽延.

45:10 You shall settle in the land of Goshen so that you will be near me, you and your children and your grandchildren, and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.
你和你的儿子孙子, 连牛群羊群, 并一切所有的, 都可以住在歌珊地, 与我相近.

45:11 And I will provide for you there, because there are still five years of famine—lest you and your household and all that you have become destitute.’
我要在那里奉养你; 因为还有五年的饥荒, 免得你和你的眷属, 并一切所有的, 都败落了. ’

45:12 Now behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is I who am speaking to you.
况且你们的眼和我兄弟便雅悯的眼都看见是我亲口对你们说话.

45:13 And you must tell my father of all my honor in Egypt and all that you have seen. Now hurry and bring my father here.”
你们也要将我在埃及一切的荣耀和你们所看见的事都告诉我父亲, 又要赶紧地将我父亲搬到我这里来. ”

45:14 Then he fell upon the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
于是约瑟伏在他兄弟便雅悯的颈项上哭, 便雅悯也在他的颈项上哭.

45:15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them. And afterward his brothers spoke with him.
他又与众弟兄亲嘴, 抱着他们哭, 随后他弟兄们就和他说话.

45:16 Then the report was heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” And it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
这风声传到法老的宫里, 说: “约瑟的弟兄们来了. ”法老和他的臣仆都很喜欢.

45:17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers: ‘Do this—load your donkeys and go back to the land of Canaan,
法老对约瑟说: “你吩咐你的弟兄们说: ‘你们要这样行: 把驮子抬在牲口上, 起身往迦南地去.

45:18 and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.’
将你们的父亲和你们的眷属都搬到我这里来, 我要把埃及地的美物赐给你们, 你们也要吃这地肥美的出产.

45:19 And you Joseph, are commanded to say this: ‘Do this! Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives, and bring your father and come!
现在我吩咐你们要这样行: 从埃及地带着车辆去, 把你们的孩子和妻子, 并你们的父亲都搬来.

45:20 Do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ”
你们眼中不要爱惜你们的家具, 因为埃及全地的美物都是你们的. ’”

45:21 And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons at the word of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
以色列的儿子们就如此行. 约瑟照着法老的吩咐给他们车辆和路上用的食物,

45:22 To each and to all of them he gave sets of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five sets of clothing.
又给他们各人一套衣服, 惟独给便雅悯三百银子, 五套衣服;

45:23 And to his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys carrying the best of Egypt, and ten donkeys carrying grain and food and provisions for his father for the journey.
送给他父亲公驴十匹, 驮著埃及的美物, 母驴十匹, 驮著粮食与饼和菜, 为他父亲路上用.

45:24 Then he sent his brothers away, and when they departed he said to them, “Do not be agitated on the journey.”
于是约瑟打发他弟兄们回去, 又对他们说: “你们不要在路上相争. ”

45:25 So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
他们从埃及上去, 来到迦南地,他们的父亲雅各那里,

45:26 And they spoke to him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart went numb, because he did not believe him.
告诉他说: “约瑟还在, 并且作埃及全地的宰相. ”雅各心里冰凉, 因为不信他们.

45:27 Then they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them. And when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, then the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
他们便将约瑟对他们说的一切话都告诉了他. 他们父亲雅各又看见约瑟打发来接他的车辆, 心就苏醒了.

45:28 And Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
以色列说: “罢了! 罢了! 我的儿子约瑟还在, 趁我未死以先, 我要去见他一面. ”

47:12 And Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all the household of his father with food, according to the number of their children.
约瑟用粮食奉养他父亲和他弟兄, 并他父亲全家的眷属, 都是照各家的人口奉养他们.

47:13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe. And the land of Egypt languished, with the land of Canaan, on account of the famine.
饥荒甚大, 全地都绝了粮, 甚至埃及地和迦南地的人因那饥荒的缘故都饿昏了.

47:14 And Joseph collected all the money found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain that they were buying. And Joseph brought the money into the house of Pharaoh.
约瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子, 就是众人籴粮的银子, 约瑟就把那银子带到法老的宫里.

47:15 And when the money was spent in the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan, all of Egypt came to Joseph, saying, “Give us food! Why should we die before you? For the money is used up.”
埃及地和迦南地的银子都花尽了, 埃及众人都来见约瑟, 说: “我们的银子都用尽了, 求你给我们粮食, 我们为甚么死在你面前呢? ”

47:16 And Joseph said, “Give your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock if your money is used up.”
约瑟说: “若是银子用尽了, 可以把你们的牲畜给我, 我就为你们的牲畜给你们粮食. ”

47:17 So they brought their herds to Joseph, and Joseph gave food to them in exchange for horses, their flocks, and their cattle and donkeys. And he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
于是他们把牲畜赶到约瑟那里, 约瑟就拿粮食换了他们的牛,羊,驴,马; 那一年因换他们一切的牲畜, 就用粮食养活他们.

47:18 When that year ended, they came to him in the following year and said to him, “We cannot hide from my lord that our money and livestock belong to my lord. Nothing remains before my lord except our bodies and our land.
那一年过去, 第二年他们又来见约瑟, 说: “我们不瞒我主, 我们的银子都花尽了, 牲畜也都归了我主. 我们在我主眼前, 除了我们的身体和田地之外, 一无所剩.

47:19 Why should we die in front of you, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, then we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Then give us seed and we shall live and not die, and the land will not become desolate.”
你何忍见我们人死地荒呢? 求你用粮食买我们和我们的地, 我们和我们的地就要给法老效力. 又求你给我们种子, 使我们得以存活, 不致死亡, 地土也不致荒凉. ”

47:20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for each Egyptian sold his field, for the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh’s.
于是, 约瑟为法老买了埃及所有的地, 埃及人因被饥荒所迫, 各都卖了自己的田地; 那地就都归了法老.

47:21 As for the people, he transferred them to the cities, from one end of the territory of Egypt to the other.
至于百姓, 约瑟叫他们, 从埃及这边直到埃及那边, 都各归各城.

47:22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for there was an allotment for the priests from Pharaoh, and they lived on the allotment that Pharaoh gave to them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
惟有祭司的地, 约瑟没有买, 因为祭司有从法老所得的常俸. 他们吃法老所给的常俸, 所以他们不卖自己的地.

47:23 And Joseph said to the people, “Look, I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you so you can sow the land.
约瑟对百姓说: “我今日为法老买了你们和你们的地, 看哪, 这里有种子给你们, 你们可以种地.

47:24 And it shall happen that at the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh and four-fifths shall be yours, as seed for the field and for your food and for those who are in your households, and as food for your little ones.”
后来打粮食的时候, 你们要把五分之一纳给法老, 四分可以归你们做地里的种子, 也做你们和你们家口孩童的食物. ”

47:25 And they said, “You have saved our lives. If we have found favor in the eyes of my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
他们说: “你救了我们的性命. 但愿我们在我主眼前蒙恩, 我们就作法老的仆人. ”

47:26 So Joseph made it a statute unto this day concerning the land of Egypt: one fifth to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not belong to Pharaoh.
于是约瑟为埃及地定下常例, 直到今日: 法老必得五分之一, 惟独祭司的地不归法老.

47:27 So Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired possessions in it and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地. 他们在那里置了产业, 并且生育甚多.

47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. And the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred and forty-seven years.
雅各住在埃及地十七年, 雅各平生的年日是一百四十七岁.

47:29 When the time of Israel’s death drew near, he called to his son, to Joseph. And he said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, that you might vow to deal kindly and faithfully with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,
以色列的死期临近了, 他就叫了他儿子约瑟来, 说: “我若在你眼前蒙恩, 请你把手放在我大腿底下, 用慈爱和诚实待我, 请你不要将我葬在埃及.

47:30 but let me lie with my ancestors. Carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial site.” And he said, “I will do according to your word.”
我与我祖我父同睡的时候, 你要将我带出埃及, 葬在他们所葬的地方. ”约瑟说: “我必遵着你的命而行. ”

47:31 Then he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.
雅各说: “你要向我起誓. ”约瑟就向他起了誓, 于是以色列在床头上【或译: 扶著杖头】敬拜神.

Genesis - Chapter 48

48:1 And it happened that after these things, it was said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is ill.” And he took his two sons with him, Ephraim and Manasseh.
这事以后, 有人告诉约瑟说: “你的父亲病了. ”他就带著两个儿子玛拿西和以法莲同去.

48:2 And it was told to Jacob, “Behold, your son Joseph has come to you.” Then Israel strengthened himself and he sat up in the bed.
有人告诉雅各说: “请看, 你儿子约瑟到你这里来了. ”以色列就勉强在床上坐起来.

48:3 Then Jacob said to Joseph, “El-Shaddai appeared to me in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
雅各对约瑟说: “全能的神曾在迦南地的路斯向我显现, 赐福与我,

48:4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and make you numerous, and will make you a company of nations. And I will give this land to your offspring after you as an everlasting possession.’
对我说: ‘我必使你生养众多, 成为多民, 又要把这地赐给你的后裔, 永远为业. ’

48:5 And now, your two sons who were born to you in the land of Egypt before my coming to you in Egypt, are mine. Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine as Reuben and Simeon are.
我未到埃及见你之先, 你在埃及地所生的以法莲和玛拿西这两个儿子是我的, 正如流便和西缅是我的一样.

48:6 And your children whom you father after them shall be yours. By the name of their brothers they shall be called, with respect to their inheritance.
你在他们以后所生的就是你的, 他们可以归于他们弟兄的名下得产业.

48:7 As for me, when I came to Paddan-Aram Rachel died to my sorrow in the land of Canaan on the way when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
至于我, 我从巴旦来的时候, 拉结死在我眼前, 在迦南地的路上, 离以法他还有一段路程, 我就把她葬在以法他的路上〈以法他就是伯利恒〉. ”

48:8 When Israel saw the sons of Joseph he said, “Who are these?”
以色列看见约瑟的两个儿子, 就说: “这是谁? ”

48:9 Then Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Please bring them to me that I may bless them.”
约瑟对他父亲说: “这是神在这里赐给我的儿子. ”以色列说: “请你领他们到我跟前, 我要给他们祝福. ”

48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim on account of old age; he was not able to see. So he brought them near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
以色列年纪老迈, 眼睛昏花, 不能看见. 约瑟领他们到他跟前, 他就和他们亲嘴, 抱着他们.

48:11 And Israel said to Joseph, “I did not expect to see your face and behold, God has also shown me your offspring.”
以色列对约瑟说: “我想不到得见你的面, 不料, 神又使我得见你的儿子. ”

48:12 Then Joseph removed them from his knees and bowed down with his face to the ground.
约瑟把两个儿子从以色列两膝中领出来, 自己就脸伏于地下拜.

48:13 And Joseph took the two of them, Ephraim at his right to the left of Israel, and Manasseh at his left to the right of Israel. And he brought them near to him.
随后, 约瑟又拉著他们两个, 以法莲在他的右手里, 对着以色列的左手, 玛拿西在他的左手里, 对着以色列的右手, 领他们到以色列的跟前.

48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim (now he was the younger), and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
以色列伸出右手来, 按在以法莲的头上〈以法莲乃是次子〉, 又剪搭过左手来, 按在玛拿西的头上〈玛拿西原是长子〉.

48:15 And he blessed Joseph and said, “The God before whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked, The God who shepherded me all my life unto this day,
他就给约瑟祝福说: “愿我祖亚伯拉罕和我父以撒所事奉的神, 就是一生牧养我直到今日的神,

48:16 The angel who redeemed me from all evil, may he bless the boys. And through them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac. And let them multiply into many in the midst of the earth.
救赎我脱离一切患难的那使者, 赐福与这两个童子. 愿他们归在我的名下和我祖亚伯拉罕,我父以撒的名下. 又愿他们在世界中生养众多. ”

48:17 When Joseph saw that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, he was displeased. And he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from the head of Ephraim over to the head of Manasseh.
约瑟见他父亲把右手按在以法莲的头上, 就不喜悦, 便提起他父亲的手, 要从以法莲头上挪到玛拿西的头上.

48:18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father; because this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand upon his head.”
约瑟对他父亲说: “我父, 不是这样. 这本是长子, 求你把右手按在他的头上. ”

48:19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son; I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great, but his younger brother shall be greater than him, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations.”
他父亲不从, 说: “我知道, 我儿, 我知道. 他也必成为一族, 也必昌大. 只是他的兄弟将来比他还大; 他兄弟的后裔要成为多族. ”

48:20 So he blessed them that day, saying, Through you Israel shall pronounce blessing, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh.’ ” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
当日就给他们祝福说: “以色列人要指着你们祝福说: ‘愿神使你如以法莲,玛拿西一样. ’”于是立以法莲在玛拿西以上.

48:21 And Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your ancestors.
以色列又对约瑟说: “我要死了, 但神必与你们同在, 领你们回到你们列祖之地.

48:22 And I have given to you one slope of land rather than your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorites by my sword and with my bow.”
并且我从前用弓用刀从亚摩利人手下夺的那块地, 我都赐给你, 使你比众弟兄多得一分. ”

Genesis - Chapter 49

49:1 Then Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together so that I can tell you what will happen with you in days to come.

Genesis - Chapter 50

50:1 Then Joseph fell on the face of his father and wept upon him and kissed him.
约瑟伏在他父亲的面上哀哭, 与他亲嘴.

50:2 And Joseph instructed his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

50:3 Forty days were required for it, for thus are the days required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

50:4 When the days of his weeping had passed, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying,
为他哀哭的日子过了, 约瑟对法老家中的人说: “我若在你们眼前蒙恩, 请你们报告法老说: ‘

50:5 ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am about to die. In the tomb that I have hewed out for myself in the land of Canaan—there you must bury me.” So then, please let me go up and let me bury my father; then I will return.’ ”
我父亲要死的时候叫我起誓说: 你要将我葬在迦南地, 在我为自己所掘的坟墓里. ’现在求你让我上去葬我父亲, 以后我必回来. ”

50:6 Then Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father as he made you swear.”
法老说: “你可以上去, 照着你父亲叫你起的誓, 将他葬埋. ”

50:7 So Joseph went up to bury his father. And all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, went up with him,
于是约瑟上去葬他父亲. 与他一同上去的, 有法老的臣仆和法老家中的长老, 并埃及国的长老,

50:8 with all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and the household of his father. They left only their little children and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen.
还有约瑟的全家和他的弟兄们, 并他父亲的眷属; 只有他们的妇人孩子, 和羊群牛群, 都留在歌珊地.

50:9 And there also went up with him chariots and horsemen. The company was very great.
又有车辆马兵, 和他一同上去; 那一帮人甚多.

50:10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which was beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful wailing. And he made a mourning ceremony for his father seven days.
他们到了约旦河外,亚达的禾场, 就在那里大大地号咷痛哭. 约瑟为他父亲哀哭了七天.

50:11 And when the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, saw the mourning ceremony at the threshing floor of Atad they said, “This is a severe mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel-Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
迦南的居民见亚达禾场上的哀哭, 就说: “这是埃及人一场极大的哀哭. ”因此那地方名叫亚伯‧麦西, 是在约旦河东.

50:12 Thus his sons did to him just as he had instructed them.
雅各的儿子们就遵著他父亲所吩咐的办了,

50:13 And his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which field Abraham had bought as a burial site from Ephron the Hittite before Mamre.
把他搬到迦南地, 葬在幔利前,麦比拉田间的洞里; 那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买来为业, 作坟地的.

约瑟葬了他父亲以后, 就和众弟兄, 并一切同他上去葬他父亲的人, 都回埃及去了.

50:15 And when the brothers of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hold a grudge against us and pay us back dearly for all the evil that we did to him.”
约瑟的哥哥们见父亲死了, 就说: “或者约瑟怀恨我们, 照着我们从前待他一切的恶足足地报复我们. ”

50:16 So they sent word to Joseph saying, “Your father commanded us before his death, saying,
他们就打发人去见约瑟, 说: “你父亲未死以先吩咐说: ‘

50:17 “Thus you must say to Joseph, ‘O, please now forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did evil to you.’ So now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
你们要对约瑟这样说: 从前你哥哥们恶待你, 求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶. ’如今求你饶恕你父亲神之仆人的过犯. ”他们对约瑟说这话, 约瑟就哭了.

50:18 Then his brothers went also and fell before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前, 说: “我们是你的仆人. ”

50:19 Then Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
约瑟对他们说: “不要害怕, 我岂能代替神呢?

50:20 As for you, you planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, in order to do this—to keep many people alive—as it is today.
从前你们的意思是要害我, 但神的意思原是好的, 要保全许多人的性命, 成就今日的光景.

50:21 So then, do not be afraid. I myself will provide for you and your little ones. And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
现在你们不要害怕, 我必养活你们和你们的妇人孩子. ”于是约瑟用亲爱的话安慰他们.

50:22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and the house of his father. And Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
约瑟和他父亲的眷属都住在埃及. 约瑟活了一百一十岁.

50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. Moreover, the children of Makir, son of Manasseh, were born on the knees of Joseph.
约瑟得见以法莲第三代的子孙. 玛拿西的孙子,玛吉的儿子也养在约瑟的膝上.

50:24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will certainly visit you and bring you up from this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
约瑟对他弟兄们说: “我要死了, 但神必定看顾你们, 领你们从这地上去, 到他起誓所应许给亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各之地. ”

50:25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall bring up my bones from here.”
约瑟叫以色列的子孙起誓说: “神必定看顾你们; 你们要把我的骸骨从这里搬上去. ”

50:26 So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
约瑟死了, 正一百一十岁. 人用香料将他薰了, 把他收殓在棺材里, 停在埃及.

来吧, 我们不如用巧计待他们, 恐怕他们多起来, 日后若遇甚么争战的事, 就连合我们的仇敌攻击我们, 离开这地去了. ”

1:11 And they appointed commanders of forced labor over them in order to oppress them with their forced labor, and they built storage cities for Pharaoh—Pithom and Rameses.
于是埃及人派督工的辖制他们, 加重担苦害他们. 他们为法老建造两座积货城, 就是比东和兰塞.

1:12 And as he oppressed them, so they became many, and so they spread out, and the Egyptians were afraid because of the presence of the Israelites.
只是越发苦害他们, 他们越发多起来, 越发蔓延; 埃及人就因以色列人愁烦.

1:13 And the Egyptians ruthlessly compelled the Israelites to work.
埃及人严严地使以色列人做工,

1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard work with mortar and with bricks and with all sorts of work in the field—with all their work in which they ruthlessly enslaved them.
使他们因做苦工觉得命苦; 无论是和泥, 是做砖, 是做田间各样的工, 在一切的工上都严严地待他们.

1:15 And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives—of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the second was Puah—
有希伯来的两个收生婆, 一名施弗拉, 一名普阿; 埃及王对她们说:

1:16 and he said, “When you help the Hebrews give birth, you will look upon the pairs of testicles; if he is a son, you will put him to death, and if she is a daughter, she will live.”
“你们为希伯来妇人收生, 看她们临盆的时候, 若是男孩, 就把他杀了; 若是女孩, 就留她存活. ”

1:17 But the midwives feared God, and they did not do as the king of Egypt had said to them. They let the boys live.
但是收生婆敬畏神, 不照埃及王的吩咐行, 竟存留男孩的性命.

1:18 And the king of Egypt summoned the midwives, and he said to them, “Why have you done this thing and let the boys live?”
埃及王召了收生婆来, 说: “你们为甚么做这事, 存留男孩的性命呢? ”

1:19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, because they are vigorous; before the midwife comes to them, they have given birth.”
收生婆对法老说: “因为希伯来妇人与埃及妇人不同; 希伯来妇人本是健壮的(原文是活泼的), 收生婆还没有到, 她们已经生产了. ”

1:20 And God did the midwives good, and the Israelite people became many and were very numerous.
神厚待收生婆. 以色列人多起来, 极其强盛.

1:21 And so because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
收生婆因为敬畏神, 神便叫她们成立家室.

1:22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you will throw into the Nile, and every daughter you will let live.”
法老吩咐他的众民说: “以色列人所生的男孩, 你们都要丢在河里; 一切的女孩, 你们要存留她的性命. ”

Exodus - Chapter 2

2:1 And a man from the family of Levi went, and he took a descendent of Levi.
有一个利未家的人娶了一个利未女子为妻.

2:2 And the woman conceived, and she gave birth to a son, and she saw him, that he was a fine baby, and she hid him three months.
那女人怀孕, 生一个儿子, 见他俊美, 就藏了他三个月,

2:3 But when she could no longer hide him, she got a papyrus basket for him, and she coated it with tar and with pitch, and she placed the boy in it, and she placed it among the reeds on the bank of the Nile.
后来不能再藏, 就取了一个蒲草箱, 抹上石漆和石油, 将孩子放在里头, 把箱子搁在河边的芦荻中.

2:4 And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
孩子的姊姊远远站着, 要知道他究竟怎么样.

2:5 And the daughter of Pharaoh went down to wash at the Nile, while her maidservants were walking alongside the Nile, and she saw the basket in the midst of the reeds, and she sent her slave woman for it and took it
法老的女儿来到河边洗澡, 她的使女们在河边行走. 她看见箱子在芦荻中, 就打发一个婢女拿来.

2:6 and opened it and saw him—the boy—and it was a lad weeping, and she had compassion for him and said, “This must be from the boys of the Hebrews.”
她打开箱子, 看见那孩子. 孩子哭了, 她就可怜他, 说: “这是希伯来人的一个孩子. ”

2:7 And his sister said to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Shall I go and call for you a woman from the Hebrews who is nursing so that she will nurse the boy for you?”
孩子的姊姊对法老的女儿说: “我去在希伯来妇人中叫一个奶妈来, 为你奶这孩子, 可以不可以? ”

2:8 And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, “Go.” And the girl went, and she called the mother of the boy.
法老的女儿说: “可以. ”童女就去叫了孩子的母亲来.

2:9 And the daughter of Pharaoh said, “Take this boy and nurse him for me, and I myself will give you wages, and the woman took the boy, and she nursed him.
法老的女儿对她说: “你把这孩子抱去, 为我奶他, 我必给你工价. ”妇人就抱了孩子去奶他.

2:10 And the boy grew, and she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he became her son, and she called his name Moses, and she said, “Because I drew him out from the water.”
孩子渐长, 妇人把他带到法老的女儿那里, 就作了她的儿子. 她给孩子起名叫摩西, 意思说: “因我把他从水里拉出来. ”

2:11 And then in those days when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and he saw their forced labor, and he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man, one of his brothers.
后来, 摩西长大, 他出去到他弟兄那里, 看他们的重担, 见一个埃及人打希伯来人的一个弟兄.

2:12 And he turned here and there, and he saw no one, and he struck the Egyptian, and he hid him in the sand.
他左右观看, 见没有人, 就把埃及人打死了, 藏在沙土里.

2:13 And he went out on the second day, and there were two Hebrew men fighting, and he said to the guilty one, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
第二天他出去, 见有两个希伯来人争斗, 就对那欺负人的说: “你为甚么打你同族的人呢? ”

2:14 And he said, “Who appointed you as a commander and a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?” And Moses was afraid, and he said, “Surely the matter has become known.”
那人说: “谁立你作我们的首领和审判官呢? 难道你要杀我, 像杀那埃及人吗? ”摩西便惧怕, 说: “这事必是被人知道了. ”

2:15 And Pharaoh heard this matter, and he sought to kill Moses, and Moses fled from Pharaoh, and he lived in the land of Midian, and he lived at a certain well.
法老听见这事, 就想杀摩西, 但摩西躲避法老, 逃往米甸地居住.

2:16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
一日, 他在井旁坐下. 米甸的祭司有七个女儿; 她们来打水, 打满了槽, 要饮父亲的群羊.

2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and came to their rescue and watered their flock.
有牧羊的人来, 把她们赶走了, 摩西却起来帮助她们, 又饮了她们的群羊.

2:18 And they came to Reuel, their father, and he said, “Why have you come so quickly today?”
她们来到父亲流珥那里; 他说: “今日你们为何来得这么快呢? ”

2:19 And they said, “An Egyptian man delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he even drew water for us and watered the flock.”
她们说: “有一个埃及人救我们脱离牧羊人的手, 并且为我们打水饮了群羊. ”

2:20 And he said to his daughters, “Where is he? Why then have you left the man? Call him so that he can eat some food.”
他对女儿们说: “那个人在哪里? 你们为甚么撇下他呢? 你们去请他来吃饭. ”

2:21 And Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
摩西甘心和那人同住; 那人把他的女儿西坡拉给摩西为妻.

2:22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom because he said, “I am an alien in a foreign land.”
西坡拉生了一个儿子, 摩西给他起名叫革舜, 意思说: “因我在外邦作了寄居的. ”

2:23 And then during those many days, the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of the work, and they cried out, and their cry for help because of the work went up to God.
过了多年, 埃及王死了. 以色列人因做苦工, 就叹息哀求, 他们的哀声达于神.

2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob,
神听见他们的哀声, 就记念他与亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各所立的约.

2:25 and God saw the Israelites, and God took notice.
神看顾以色列人, 也知道他们的苦情.

Exodus - Chapter 3

3:1 And Moses was a shepherd with the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the west of the desert, and he came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.
摩西牧养他岳父米甸祭司叶忒罗的羊群; 一日领羊群往野外去, 到了神的山, 就是何烈山.

3:2 And the angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush, and he looked, and there was the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not being consumed.
耶和华的使者从荆棘里火焰中向摩西显现. 摩西观看, 不料, 荆棘被火烧着, 却没有烧毁.

3:3 And Moses said, “Let me turn aside and see this great sight. Why does the bush not burn up?”
摩西说: “我要过去看这大异象, 这荆棘为何没有烧坏呢? ”

3:4 And Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him from the midst of the bush, and he said, “Moses, Moses.” And he said, “Here I am.”
耶和华神见他过去要看, 就从荆棘里呼叫说: “摩西! 摩西! ”他说: “我在这里. ”

3:5 And he said, “You must not come near to here. Take off your sandals from on your feet, because the place on which you are standing, it is holy ground.”
神说: “不要近前来. 当把你脚上的鞋脱下来, 因为你所站之地是圣地”;

3:6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face because he was afraid of looking at God.
又说: “我是你父亲的神, 是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神. ”摩西蒙上脸, 因为怕看神.

3:7 And Yahweh said, “Surely I have seen the misery of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry of distress because of their oppressors, for I know their sufferings.
耶和华说: “我的百姓在埃及所受的困苦, 我实在看见了; 他们因受督工的辖制所发的哀声, 我也听见了. 我原知道他们的痛苦,

3:8 And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from this land to a good and wide land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
我下来是要救他们脱离埃及人的手, 领他们出了那地, 到美好,宽阔,流奶与蜜之地, 就是到迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人之地.

3:9 And now, look, the cry of distress of the Israelites has come to me, and also I see the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
现在以色列人的哀声达到我耳中, 我也看见埃及人怎样欺压他们.

3:10 And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and you must bring my people, the Israelites, out from Egypt.”
故此, 我要打发你去见法老, 使你可以将我的百姓以色列人从埃及领出来. ”

3:11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the Israelites out from Egypt?”
摩西对神说: “我是甚么人, 竟能去见法老, 将以色列人从埃及领出来呢? ”

3:12 And he said, “Because I am with you, and this will be the sign for you that I myself have sent you: When you bring the people out from Egypt, you will serve God on this mountain.”
神说: “我必与你同在. 你将百姓从埃及领出来之后, 你们必在这山上事奉我; 这就是我打发你去的证据. ”

3:13 But Moses said to God, “Look, if I go to the Israelites and I say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ then what shall I say to them?”
摩西对神说: “我到以色列人那里, 对他们说: ‘你们祖宗的神打发我到你们这里来. ’他们若问我说: ‘他叫甚么名字? ’我要对他们说甚么呢? ”

3:14 And God said to Moses, “I am that I am.” And he said, “So you must say to the Israelites, ‘I am sent me to you.’ ”
神对摩西说: “我是自有永有的”; 又说: “你要对以色列人这样说: ‘那自有的打发我到你们这里来. ’”

3:15 And God said again to Moses, “So you must say to the Israelites, ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is my remembrance from generation to generation.’
神又对摩西说: “你要对以色列人这样说: ‘耶和华─你们祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神, 打发我到你们这里来. ’耶和华是我的名, 直到永远; 这也是我的纪念, 直到万代.

3:16 Go and gather the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, “I have carefully attended to you and what has been done to you in Egypt.”
你去招聚以色列的长老, 对他们说: ‘耶和华－你们祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神, 向我显现, 说: 我实在眷顾了你们, 我也看见埃及人怎样待你们.

3:17 And I said, “I will bring you up from the misery of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’
我也说: 要将你们从埃及的困苦中领出来, 往迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人的地去, 就是到流奶与蜜之地. ’

3:18 And they will listen to your voice, and you will go, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you will say to him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews has met with us, and now let us please go on a journey of three days into the desert, and let us sacrifice to Yahweh our God.’
他们必听你的话. 你和以色列的长老要去见埃及王, 对他说: ‘耶和华─希伯来人的神遇见了我们, 现在求你容我们往旷野去, 走三天的路程, 为要祭祀耶和华─我们的神. ’

3:19 But I myself know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless compelled by a strong hand.
我知道虽用大能的手, 埃及王也不容你们去.

3:20 And I will stretch out my hand, and I will strike Egypt with all of my wonders that I will do in its midst, and afterward he will release you.
我必伸手在埃及中间施行我一切的奇事, 攻击那地, 然后他才容你们去.

3:21 And I will give this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and then when you go, you will not go empty-handed.
我必叫你们在埃及人眼前蒙恩, 你们去的时候就不至于空手而去.

3:22 And a woman will ask from her neighbor and from the woman dwelling as an alien in her house for objects of silver and objects of gold and garments, and you will put them on your sons and on your daughters; and you will plunder Egypt.”
但各妇女必向她的邻舍, 并居住在她家里的女人, 要金器银器和衣裳, 好给你们的儿女穿戴. 这样你们就把埃及人的财物夺去了. ”

Exodus - Chapter 4

4:1 And Moses answered, and he said, “And if they do not believe me and they do not listen to my voice, but they say, ‘Yahweh did not appear to you?’ ”
摩西回答说: “他们必不信我, 也不听我的话, 必说: ‘耶和华并没有向你显现. ’”

4:2 And Yahweh said to him, “What is this in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你手里是甚么? ”他说: “是杖. ”

4:3 And he said, “Throw it onto the ground.” And he threw it onto the ground, and it became a snake, and Moses fled from it.
耶和华说: “丢在地上. ”他一丢下去, 就变作蛇; 摩西便跑开.

4:4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—” (And he reached out his hand and grabbed it, and it became a staff in his palm.)—
耶和华对摩西说: “伸出手来, 拿住牠的尾巴, 牠必在你手中仍变为杖;

4:5 “so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, appeared to you, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
如此好叫他们信耶和华─他们祖宗的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神, 是向你显现了. ”

4:6 And Yahweh said to him again, “Put your hand into the fold of your garment.” And he put his hand into the fold of his garment, and he took it out, and, to his surprise, his hand was afflicted with a skin disease, like snow.
耶和华又对他说: “把手放在怀里. ”他就把手放在怀里, 及至抽出来, 不料, 手长了大痲疯, 有雪那样白.

4:7 And he said, “Return your hand to the fold of your garment.” And he returned his hand to the fold of his garment, and he took it out from the fold of his garment, and, to his surprise, it was restored like the rest of his body.
耶和华说: “再把手放在怀里. ”他就再把手放在怀里, 及至从怀里抽出来, 不料, 手已经复原, 与周身的肉一样;

4:8 “And if they do not believe you and they will not listen to the voice of the former sign, then they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
又说: “倘或他们不听你的话, 也不信头一个神蹟, 他们必信第二个神蹟.

4:9 And if they also do not believe the second of these signs and they will not listen to your voice, then you must take water from the Nile and pour it onto the dry ground, and the water that you take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground.”
这两个神蹟若都不信, 也不听你的话, 你就从河里取些水, 倒在旱地上, 你从河里取的水必在旱地上变作血. ”

4:10 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Please, Lord, I am not a man of words, neither recently nor in the past nor since your speaking to your servant, because I am heavy of mouth and of tongue.”
摩西对耶和华说: “主啊, 我素日不是能言的人, 就是从你对仆人说话以后, 也是这样. 我本是拙口笨舌的. ”

4:11 And Yahweh said to him, “Who gave a mouth to humankind, or who makes mute or deaf or sighted or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?
耶和华对他说: “谁造人的口呢? 谁使人口哑,耳聋,目明,眼瞎呢? 岂不是我─耶和华吗?

4:12 So then go, and I myself will be with your mouth, and I will teach you what you must speak.”
现在去吧, 我必赐你口才, 指教你所当说的话. ”

4:13 And he said, “Please, Lord, do send anyone else whom you wish to send.”
摩西说: “主啊, 你愿意打发谁, 就打发谁去吧! ”

4:14 And Yahweh was angry with Moses and said, “Is there not Aaron your brother the Levite? I know that he certainly can speak, and also there he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will rejoice in his heart.
耶和华向摩西发怒说: “不是有你的哥哥利未人亚伦吗? 我知道他是能言的; 现在他出来迎接你, 他一见你, 心里就欢喜.

4:15 And you will speak to him, and you will put words in his mouth, and I myself will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you must do.
你要将当说的话传给他; 我也要赐你和他口才, 又要指教你们所当行的事.

4:16 And he will speak for you to the people, and then he will be to you as a mouth, and you will be to him as a god.
他要替你对百姓说话; 你要以他当作口, 他要以你当作神.

4:17 And you must take this staff in your hand, with which you will do the signs.”
你手里要拿这杖, 好行神蹟. ”

4:18 And Moses went, and he returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and he said to him, “Please let me go, and let me return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and let me see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
于是, 摩西回到他岳父叶忒罗那里, 对他说: “求你容我回去见我在埃及的弟兄, 看他们还在不在. ”叶忒罗对摩西说: “你可以平平安安地去吧! ”

4:19 And Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt because all the men have died who were seeking your life.”
耶和华在米甸对摩西说: “你要回埃及去, 因为寻索你命的人都死了. ”

4:20 And Moses took his wife and his sons and had them ride on the donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt, and Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
摩西就带着妻子和两个儿子, 叫他们骑上驴, 回埃及地去. 摩西手里拿着神的杖.

4:21 And Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go to return to Egypt, see all of the wonders that I have put in your hand, and do them before Pharaoh, and I myself will harden his heart, and he will not release the people.
耶和华对摩西说: “你回到埃及的时候, 要留意将我指示你的一切奇事行在法老面前. 但我要使(或译: 任凭; 下同)他的心刚硬, 他必不容百姓去.

4:22 And you must say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Israel is my son, my firstborn.”
你要对法老说: ‘耶和华这样说: 以色列是我的儿子, 我的长子.

4:23 And I said to you, “Release my son and let him serve me,” but you refused to release him. Look, I am about to kill your son, your firstborn.’ ”
我对你说过: 容我的儿子去, 好事奉我. 你还是不肯容他去. 看哪, 我要杀你的长子. ’”

4:24 And on the way, at the place of overnight lodging, Yahweh encountered him and sought to kill him.
摩西在路上住宿的地方, 耶和华遇见他, 想要杀他.

4:25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, and she cut off the foreskin of her son, and she touched his feet, and she said, “Yes, you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
西坡拉就拿一块火石, 割下他儿子的阳皮, 丢在摩西脚前, 说: “你真是我的血郎了. ”

4:26 And he left him alone. At that time she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
这样, 耶和华才放了他. 西坡拉说: “你因割礼就是血郎了. ”

4:27 And Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go to the desert to meet Moses.” And he went and encountered him at the mountain of God and kissed him.
耶和华对亚伦说: “你往旷野去迎接摩西. ”他就去, 在神的山遇见摩西, 和他亲嘴.

4:28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh, who had sent him—and all the signs that he had commanded him.
摩西将耶和华打发他所说的言语和嘱咐他所行的神蹟都告诉了亚伦.

4:29 And Moses and Aaron went, and they gathered all of the elders of the Israelites.
摩西,亚伦就去招聚以色列的众长老.

4:30 And Aaron spoke all the words that Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and he did the signs before the eyes of the people.
亚伦将耶和华对摩西所说的一切话述说了一遍, 又在百姓眼前行了那些神蹟,

4:31 And the people believed when they heard that Yahweh had attended to the Israelites and that he had seen their misery, and they knelt down and they worshiped.
百姓就信了. 以色列人听见耶和华眷顾他们, 鉴察他们的困苦, 就低头下拜.

Exodus - Chapter 5

5:1 And afterward, Moses and Aaron went, and they said to Pharaoh, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Release my people so that they may hold a festival for me in the desert.’ ”
后来摩西,亚伦去对法老说: “耶和华─以色列的神这样说: ‘容我的百姓去, 在旷野向我守节. ’”

5:2 And Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh that I should listen to his voice to release Israel? I do not know Yahweh, and also I will not release Israel.”
法老说: “耶和华是谁, 使我听他的话, 容以色列人去呢? 我不认识耶和华, 也不容以色列人去! ”

5:3 And they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go on a three-day journey into the desert, and let us sacrifice to Yahweh our God, lest he strike us with plague or with sword.”
他们说: “希伯来人的神遇见了我们. 求你容我们往旷野去, 走三天的路程, 祭祀耶和华─我们的神, 免得他用瘟疫,刀兵攻击我们. ”

5:4 And the king of Egypt said, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you take the people from their work? Go to your forced labor!”
埃及王对他们说: “摩西,亚伦! 你们为甚么叫百姓旷工呢? 你们去担你们的担子吧! ”

5:5 And Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now many, and you want to stop them from their forced labor.”
又说: “看哪, 这地的以色列人如今众多, 你们竟叫他们歇下担子! ”

5:6 And on that day Pharaoh commanded the slave drivers over the people and his foremen, saying,
当天, 法老吩咐督工的和官长说:

5:7 “You must no longer give straw to the people to make the bricks like before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
“你们不可照常把草给百姓做砖, 叫他们自己去捡草.

5:8 But the quota of the bricks that they were making before you must require of them. You must not reduce from it, because they are lazy. Therefore they are crying out, saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
他们素常做砖的数目, 你们仍旧向他们要, 一点不可减少; 因为他们是懒惰的, 所以呼求说: ‘容我们去祭祀我们的神. ’

5:9 Let the work be heavier on the men so that they will do it and not pay attention to words of deception.”
你们要把更重的工夫加在这些人身上, 叫他们劳碌, 不听虚谎的言语. ”

5:10 And the slave drivers of the people and their foremen went out, and they spoke to the people, saying, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I am not giving you straw.
督工的和官长出来对百姓说: “法老这样说: ‘我不给你们草.

5:11 You go, get straw for yourselves from whatever you find because not a thing is being reduced from your work.’ ”
你们自己在哪里能找草, 就往那里去找吧! 但你们的工一点不可减少. ’”

5:12 And the people spread out in all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for the straw.
于是百姓散在埃及遍地, 捡碎秸当作草.

5:13 And the slave drivers were insisting, saying, “Finish your work for each day on its day, as when there was straw.”
督工的催著说: “你们一天当完一天的工, 与先前有草一样. ”

5:14 And the foremen of the Israelites, whom Pharaoh’s slave drivers had appointed over them, were beaten by men who were saying, “Why have you not completed your portion of brickmaking as before, both yesterday and today?”
法老督工的, 责打他所派以色列人的官长, 说: “你们昨天今天为甚么没有照向来的数目做砖,完你们的工作呢? ”

5:15 And the foremen of the Israelites came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you treat your servants like this?
以色列人的官长就来哀求法老说: “为甚么这样待你的仆人?

5:16 Straw is not being given to your servants, but they are saying to us, ‘Make bricks!’ and, look, your servants are being beaten, but it is the fault of your people.”
督工的不把草给仆人, 并且对我们说: ‘做砖吧! ’看哪, 你仆人挨了打, 其实是你百姓的错. ”

5:17 And he said, “You are lazy, lazy! Therefore you are saying, ‘Let us go; let us sacrifice to Yahweh.’
但法老说: “你们是懒惰的! 你们是懒惰的! 所以说: ‘容我们去祭祀耶和华. ’

5:18 And now go, work, but straw will not be given to you, and you must give the full quota of bricks.”
现在你们去做工吧! 草是不给你们的, 砖却要如数交纳. ”

耶和华对摩西说: “你清早起来, 法老来到水边, 你站在他面前, 对他说: ‘耶和华这样说: 容我的百姓去, 好事奉我.

8:21 But if you are not about to release my people, look, I am about to send out flies among you and among your servants and among your people and in your houses; and the houses of Egypt will fill up with the flies and also the ground that they are on.
你若不容我的百姓去, 我要叫成群的苍蝇到你和你臣仆并你百姓的身上, 进你的房屋, 并且埃及人的房屋和他们所住的地都要满了成群的苍蝇.

法老召了摩西,亚伦来, 说: “你们去, 在这地祭祀你们的神吧! ”

8:26 And Moses said, “To do so is not right, because we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God a thing detestable to the Egyptians. Look, if we sacrifice before their eyes the thing detestable to the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
摩西说: “这样行本不相宜, 因为我们要把埃及人所厌恶的祭祀耶和华─我们的神; 若把埃及人所厌恶的在他们眼前献为祭, 他们岂不拿石头打死我们吗?

8:27 We will go a journey of three days into the desert, and we will sacrifice to Yahweh our God according to what he says to us.”
我们要往旷野去, 走三天的路程, 照着耶和华─我们神所要吩咐我们的祭祀他. ”

摩西说: “我要出去求耶和华, 使成群的苍蝇明天离开法老和法老的臣仆并法老的百姓; 法老却不可再行诡诈, 不容百姓去祭祀耶和华. ”

摩西向天伸杖, 耶和华就打雷下雹, 有火闪到地上; 耶和华下雹在埃及地上.

9:24 And there was hail, and fire was flashing back and forth in the midst of the very severe hail, the like of which was not in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.
那时, 雹与火搀杂, 甚是厉害, 自从埃及成国以来, 遍地没有这样的.

9:25 And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, from human to animal, and the hail struck all the vegetation of the field and smashed every tree of the field.
在埃及遍地, 雹击打了田间所有的人和牲畜, 并一切的菜蔬, 又打坏田间一切的树木.

9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were, there was no hail.
惟独以色列人所住的歌珊地没有冰雹.

9:27 And Pharaoh sent and called Moses and Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time. Yahweh is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones.
法老打发人召摩西,亚伦来, 对他们说: “这一次我犯了罪了. 耶和华是公义的; 我和我的百姓是邪恶的.

9:28 Pray to Yahweh. The thunder of God and hail are enough, and I will release you, and you will no longer have to stay.”
这雷轰和冰雹已经够了. 请你们求耶和华, 我就容你们去, 不再留住你们. ”

9:29 And Moses said to him, “At my leaving the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunder will stop, and the hail will be no more, so that you will know that the earth belongs to Yahweh.
摩西对他说: “我一出城, 就要向耶和华举手祷告; 雷必止住, 也不再有冰雹, 叫你知道全地都是属耶和华的.

9:30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the presence of Yahweh God.”
至于你和你的臣仆, 我知道你们还是不惧怕耶和华神. ”

9:31 And the flax and the barley were struck, because the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.
(那时, 麻和大麦被雹击打; 因为大麦已经吐穗, 麻也开了花.

9:32 But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, because they are late-ripening.
只是小麦和粗麦没有被击打, 因为还没有长成. )

9:33 And Moses went from Pharaoh out of the city, and he spread his hands to Yahweh, and the thunder and the hail stopped, and rain did not pour on the earth.
摩西离了法老出城, 向耶和华举手祷告; 雷和雹就止住, 雨也不再浇在地上了.

9:34 And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder stopped, and he again sinned and made his heart insensitive, he and his servants.
法老见雨和雹与雷止住, 就越发犯罪; 他和他的臣仆都硬著心.

9:35 And Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he did not release the Israelites, as Yahweh had said by the agency of Moses.
法老的心刚硬, 不容以色列人去, 正如耶和华藉著摩西所说的.

Exodus - Chapter 10

10:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have made his heart insensitive and the heart of his servants in order to put these signs of mine in his midst,
耶和华对摩西说: “你进去见法老. 我使他和他臣仆的心刚硬, 为要在他们中间显我这些神蹟,

10:2 so that you will tell in the ears of your child and your grandchild that I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and so that you will tell about my signs that I have done among them, and so you will know that I am Yahweh.”
并要叫你将我向埃及人所做的事, 和在他们中间所行的神蹟, 传于你儿子和你孙子的耳中, 好叫你们知道我是耶和华. ”

10:3 And Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, ‘Until when will you refuse to submit before me? Release my people so that they may serve me.
摩西,亚伦就进去见法老, 对他说: “耶和华─希伯来人的神这样说: ‘你在我面前不肯自卑要到几时呢? 容我的百姓去, 好事奉我.

10:4 But if you are refusing to release my people, look, I am about to bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.
你若不肯容我的百姓去, 明天我要使蝗虫进入你的境内,

10:5 And they will cover the surface of the land, and no one will be able to see the land, and they will eat the remainder of what is left—what is left over for you from the hail—and they will eat every sprouting tree belonging to you from the field.
遮满地面, 甚至看不见地, 并且吃那冰雹所剩的和田间所长的一切树木.

10:6 And your houses will be full, and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all Egypt, something that your fathers and your grandfathers never saw from the day they were on the earth until this day.’ ” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
你的宫殿和你众臣仆的房屋, 并一切埃及人的房屋, 都要被蝗虫占满了; 自从你祖宗和你祖宗的祖宗在世以来, 直到今日, 没有见过这样的灾. ’”摩西就转身离开法老出去.

10:7 And the servants of Pharaoh said to him, “Until when will this be a snare for us? Release the men so that they may serve Yahweh their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”
法老的臣仆对法老说: “这人为我们的网罗要到几时呢? 容这些人去事奉耶和华─他们的神吧! 埃及已经败坏了, 你还不知道吗? ”

10:8 And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Serve Yahweh your God. Who are the ones going?
于是摩西,亚伦被召回来见法老; 法老对他们说: “你们去事奉耶和华─你们的神; 但那要去的是谁呢? ”

10:9 And Moses said, “With our young and with our old we will go; with our sons and with our daughters, with our sheep and goats and with our cattle we will go because it is the feast of Yahweh for us.”
摩西说: “我们要和我们老的少的,儿子女儿同去, 且把羊群牛群一同带去, 因为我们务要向耶和华守节. ”

10:10 And he said to them, “Let Yahweh be thus with you as soon as I release you and your dependents. See that evil is before your faces.
法老对他们说: “我容你们和你们妇人孩子去的时候, 耶和华与你们同在吧! 你们要谨慎; 因为有祸在你们眼前(或译: 你们存著恶意),

10:11 No indeed; just the men go and serve Yahweh, since this is what you are seeking.” And he drove them out from the presence of Pharaoh.
不可都去! 你们这壮年人去事奉耶和华吧, 因为这是你们所求的. ”于是把他们从法老面前撵出去.

10:12 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt with the locusts so that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and let them eat all the vegetation of the land, all that the hail left behind.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你向埃及地伸杖, 使蝗虫到埃及地上来, 吃地上一切的菜蔬, 就是冰雹所剩的. ”

10:13 And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh drove an east wind into the land all that day and all night. The morning came, and the east wind had brought the locusts.
摩西就向埃及地伸杖, 那一昼一夜, 耶和华使东风刮在埃及地上; 到了早晨, 东风把蝗虫刮了来.

10:14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and they settled in all the territory of Egypt, very severe. Before it there were not locusts like them, nor will there be after it.
蝗虫上来, 落在埃及的四境, 甚是厉害; 以前没有这样的, 以后也必没有.

10:15 And they covered the surface of all the land, and the land was dark with them, and they ate all the vegetation of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left, and no green was left in the trees nor in the vegetation of the field in all the land of Egypt.
因为这蝗虫遮满地面, 甚至地都黑暗了, 又吃地上一切的菜蔬和冰雹所剩树上的果子. 埃及遍地, 无论是树木, 是田间的菜蔬, 连一点青的也没有留下.

10:16 And Pharaoh hurried to call Moses and Aaron, and he said, “I have sinned against Yahweh your God and against you.
于是法老急忙召了摩西,亚伦来, 说: “我得罪耶和华─你们的神, 又得罪了你们.

10:17 And now forgive my sin surely this time, and pray to Yahweh your God so that he may only remove from me this death.”
现在求你, 只这一次, 饶恕我的罪, 求耶和华─你们的神使我脱离这一次的死亡. ”

10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and he prayed to Yahweh.
摩西就离开法老去求耶和华.

10:19 And Yahweh turned a very strong west wind and lifted up the locusts and thrust them into the Red Sea, and not one locust remained in all the territory of Egypt.
耶和华转了极大的西风, 把蝗虫刮起, 吹入红海; 在埃及的四境连一个也没有留下.

10:20 And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not release the Israelites.
但耶和华使法老的心刚硬, 不容以色列人去.

10:21 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt and so that a person can feel darkness.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你向天伸杖, 使埃及地黑暗; 这黑暗似乎摸得着. ”

10:22 And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was darkness of night in all the land of Egypt for three days.
摩西向天伸杖, 埃及遍地就乌黑了三天.

10:23 No one could see his brother, and because of it no one could move from where they were for three days, but there was light for the Israelites in their dwellings.
三天之久, 人不能相见, 谁也不敢起来离开本处; 惟有以色列人家中都有亮光.

10:24 And Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve Yahweh. Only your sheep and goats and your cattle must be left behind. Your dependents may also go with you.”
法老就召摩西来, 说: “你们去事奉耶和华; 只是你们的羊群牛群要留下; 你们的妇人孩子可以和你们同去. ”

10:25 And Moses said, “Even if you yourself put into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings and we offer them to Yahweh our God,
摩西说: “你总要把祭物和燔祭牲交给我们, 使我们可以祭祀耶和华─我们的神.

10:26 our livestock must also go with us. Not a hoof can be left because we must take from them to serve Yahweh our God. And we will not know with what we are to serve Yahweh until we come there.”
我们的牲畜也要带去, 连一蹄也不留下; 因为我们要从其中取出来, 事奉耶和华─我们的神. 我们未到那里, 还不知道用甚么事奉耶和华. ”

10:27 And Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to release them.
但耶和华使法老的心刚硬, 不肯容他们去.

10:28 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go from me. Be careful not to see my face again, because on the day of your seeing my face you will die.”
法老对摩西说: “你离开我去吧, 你要小心, 不要再见我的面! 因为你见我面的那日你就必死! ”

10:29 And Moses said, “That is right. I will not again see your face.”
摩西说: “你说得好! 我必不再见你的面了. ”

Exodus - Chapter 11

11:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Still one plague I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt; afterward he will release you from here. At the moment of his releasing, he will certainly drive you completely out from here.
耶和华对摩西说: “我再使一样的灾殃临到法老和埃及, 然后他必容你们离开这地. 他容你们去的时候, 总要催逼你们都从这地出去.

11:2 Speak in the ears of the people, and let them ask, a man from his neighbor and a woman from her neighbor, for objects of silver and objects of gold.”
你要传于百姓的耳中, 叫他们男女各人向邻舍要金器银器. ”

11:3 And Yahweh gave the people favor in the eyes of Egypt. Also the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh and in the eyes of the people.
耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩, 并且摩西在埃及地,法老臣仆, 和百姓的眼中看为极大.

11:4 And Moses said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘About the middle of the night I will go out through the midst of Egypt,
摩西说: “耶和华这样说: ‘约到半夜, 我必出去巡行埃及遍地.

11:5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the slave woman who is behind the pair of millstones and every firstborn animal.
凡在埃及地, 从坐宝座的法老直到磨子后的婢女所有的长子, 以及一切头生的牲畜, 都必死.

11:6 And there will be a great cry of distress in all the land of Egypt, the like of which has not been nor will be again.
埃及遍地必有大哀号; 从前没有这样的, 后来也必没有.

11:7 But against all the Israelites, from a man to an animal, a dog will not even bark, so that you will know that Yahweh makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’
至于以色列中, 无论是人是牲畜, 连狗也不敢向他们摇舌, 好叫你们知道耶和华是将埃及人和以色列人分别出来. ’

11:8 And all of these your servants will come down to me and bow to me, saying, ‘Go out, you and all the people who are at your feet.’ And afterward I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.
你这一切臣仆都要俯伏来见我, 说: ‘求你和跟从你的百姓都出去’, 然后我要出去. ”于是, 摩西气忿忿地离开法老, 出去了.

11:9 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that my wonders may multiply in the land of Egypt.”
耶和华对摩西说: “法老必不听你们, 使我的奇事在埃及地多起来. ”

11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and Yahweh hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not release the Israelites from his land.
摩西,亚伦在法老面前行了这一切奇事; 耶和华使法老的心刚硬, 不容以色列人出离他的地.

Exodus - Chapter 12

12:1 And Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
耶和华在埃及地晓谕摩西,亚伦说:

12:2 “This month will be the beginning of months; it will be for you the first of the months of the year.
“你们要以本月为正月, 为一年之首.

12:3 Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family, a lamb for the household.
你们吩咐以色列全会众说: 本月初十日, 各人要按著父家取羊羔, 一家一只.

12:4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, he and the neighbor nearest to his house will take one according to the number of persons; you will count out portions of the lamb according to how much each one can eat.
若是一家的人太少, 吃不了一只羊羔, 本人就要和他隔壁的邻舍共取一只. 你们预备羊羔, 要按着人数和饭量计算.

12:5 The lamb for you must be a male, without defect, in its first year; you will take it from the sheep or from the goats.
要无残疾,一岁的公羊羔, 你们或从绵羊里取, 或从山羊里取, 都可以.

12:6 “You will keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and all the assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter it at twilight.
要留到本月十四日, 在黄昏的时候, 以色列全会众把羊羔宰了.

12:7 And they will take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel on the houses in which they eat it.
各家要取点血, 涂在吃羊羔的房屋左右的门框上和门楣上.

12:8 And they will eat the meat on this night; they will eat it fire-roasted and with unleavened bread on bitter herbs.
当夜要吃羊羔的肉; 用火烤了, 与无酵饼和苦菜同吃.

12:9 You must not eat any of it raw or boiled, boiled in the water, but rather roasted with fire, its head with its legs and with its inner parts.
不可吃生的, 断不可吃水煮的, 要带着头,腿,五脏, 用火烤了吃.

12:10 And you must not leave any of it until morning; anything left from it until morning you must burn in the fire.
不可剩下一点留到早晨; 若留到早晨, 要用火烧了.

12:11 And this is how you will eat it—with your waists fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you will eat it in haste. It is Yahweh’s Passover.
你们吃羊羔当腰间束带, 脚上穿鞋, 手中拿杖, 赶紧地吃; 这是耶和华的逾越节.

12:12 “And I will go through the land of Egypt during this night, and I will strike all of the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from human to animal, and I will do punishments among all of the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
因为那夜我要巡行埃及地, 把埃及地一切头生的, 无论是人是牲畜, 都击杀了, 又要败坏埃及一切的神. 我是耶和华.

12:13 And the blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and I will see the blood, and I will pass over you, and there will not be a destructive plague among you when I strike the land of Egypt.
这血要在你们所住的房屋上作记号; 我一见这血, 就越过你们去. 我击杀埃及地头生的时候, 灾殃必不临到你们身上灭你们. ”

12:14 “And this day will become a memorial for you, and you will celebrate it as a religious feast for Yahweh throughout your generations; you will celebrate it as a lasting statute.
“你们要记念这日, 守为耶和华的节, 作为你们世世代代永远的定例.

12:15 You will eat unleavened bread for seven days. Surely on the first day you shall remove yeast from your houses, because anyone who eats food with yeast from the first day until the seventh day—that person will be cut off from Israel.
你们要吃无酵饼七日. 头一日要把酵从你们各家中除去; 因为从头一日起, 到第七日为止, 凡吃有酵之饼的, 必从以色列中剪除.

12:16 It will be for you on the first day a holy assembly and on the seventh day a holy assembly; no work will be done on them; only what is eaten by every person, it alone will be prepared for you.
头一日你们当有圣会, 第七日也当有圣会. 这两日之内, 除了预备各人所要吃的以外, 无论何工都不可做.

12:17 “And you will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because on this very day I brought out your divisions from the land of Egypt, and you will keep this day for your generations as a lasting statute.
你们要守无酵节, 因为我正当这日把你们的军队从埃及地领出来. 所以, 你们要守这日, 作为世世代代永远的定例.

12:18 On the first day, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you will eat unleavened bread until the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
从正月十四日晚上, 直到二十一日晚上, 你们要吃无酵饼.

12:19 For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, because anyone eating food with yeast will be cut off from the community of Israel—whether an alien or a native of the land.
在你们各家中, 七日之内不可有酵; 因为凡吃有酵之物的, 无论是寄居的, 是本地的, 必从以色列的会中剪除.

12:20 You will eat no food with yeast; in all of your dwellings you will eat unleavened bread.”
有酵的物, 你们都不可吃; 在你们一切住处要吃无酵饼. ”

12:21 And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and he said to them, “Select and take for yourselves sheep for your clans and slaughter the Passover sacrifice.
于是, 摩西召了以色列的众长老来, 对他们说: “你们要按著家口取出羊羔, 把这逾越节的羊羔宰了.

12:22 And take a bunch of hyssop and dip it into the blood that is in the basin and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts. And you will not go out, anyone from the doorway of his house, until morning.
拿一把牛膝草, 蘸盆里的血, 打在门楣上和左右的门框上. 你们谁也不可出自己的房门, 直到早晨.

12:23 And Yahweh will go through to strike Egypt, and he will see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and Yahweh will pass over the doorway and will not allow the destroyer to come to your houses to strike you.
因为耶和华要巡行击杀埃及人, 他看见血在门楣上和左右的门框上, 就必越过那门, 不容灭命的进你们的房屋, 击杀你们.

12:24 “And you will keep this event as a rule for you and for your children forever.
这例, 你们要守著, 作为你们和你们子孙永远的定例.

12:25 And when you come into the land that Yahweh will give to you, as he said, you will keep this religious custom.
日后, 你们到了耶和华按著所应许赐给你们的那地, 就要守这礼.

12:26 And when your children say to you, ‘What is this religious custom for you?’
你们的儿女问你们说: ‘行这礼是甚么意思? ’

12:27 you will say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice for Yahweh, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he struck Egypt; and he delivered our houses.’ ” And the people knelt down and they worshiped.
你们就说: ‘这是献给耶和华逾越节的祭. 当以色列人在埃及的时候, 他击杀埃及人, 越过以色列人的房屋, 救了我们各家. ’”于是百姓低头下拜.

12:28 And the Israelites went, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,亚伦, 以色列人就怎样行.

12:29 And in the middle of the night, Yahweh struck all of the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison house and every firstborn of an animal.
到了半夜, 耶和华把埃及地所有的长子, 就是从坐宝座的法老, 直到被掳囚在监里之人的长子, 以及一切头生的牲畜, 尽都杀了.

12:30 And Pharaoh got up at night, he and all his servants and all Egypt, and a great cry of distress was in Egypt because there was not a house where there was no one dead.
法老和一切臣仆, 并埃及众人, 夜间都起来了. 在埃及有大哀号, 无一家不死一个人的.

12:31 And he called Moses and Aaron at night, and he said, “Get up, go out from the midst of my people, both you as well as the Israelites, and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said.
夜间, 法老召了摩西,亚伦来, 说: “起来! 连你们带以色列人, 从我民中出去, 依你们所说的, 去事奉耶和华吧!

12:32 Take both your sheep and goats as well as your cattle, and go, and bless also me.”
也依你们所说的, 连羊群牛群带着走吧! 并要为我祝福. ”

12:33 And the Egyptians urged the people in order to hurry their release from the land, because they said, “All of us will die!”
埃及人催促百姓, 打发他们快快出离那地, 因为埃及人说: “我们都要死了. ”

12:34 And the people lifted up their dough before it had yeast; their kneading troughs were wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulder.
百姓就拿着没有酵的生面, 把抟面盆包在衣服中, 扛在肩头上.

12:35 And the Israelites did according to the word of Moses, and they asked from the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold and for clothing.
以色列人照着摩西的话行, 向埃及人要金器,银器, 和衣裳.

12:36 And Yahweh gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they granted their requests, and they plundered the Egyptians.
耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩, 以致埃及人给他们所要的. 他们就把埃及人的财物夺去了.

12:37 And the Israelites set out from Rameses to Succoth; the men were about six hundred thousand on foot, besides dependents.
以色列人从兰塞起行, 往疏割去; 除了妇人孩子, 步行的男人约有六十万.

12:38 And also a mixed multitude went up with them and sheep and goats and cattle, very numerous livestock.
又有许多闲杂人, 并有羊群牛群, 和他们一同上去.

12:39 And they baked the dough that they had brought out from Egypt as cakes, unleavened bread, because it had no yeast when they were driven out from Egypt, and they were not able to delay, and also they had not made provisions for themselves.
他们用埃及带出来的生面烤成无酵饼. 这生面原没有发起; 因为他们被催逼离开埃及, 不能耽延, 也没有为自己预备甚么食物.

12:40 And the period of dwelling of the Israelites that they dwelled in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年.

12:41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, on this exact day, all of Yahweh’s divisions went out from the land of Egypt.
正满了四百三十年的那一天, 耶和华的军队都从埃及地出来了.

12:42 It is a night of vigils belonging to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; it is this night belonging to Yahweh with vigils for all of the Israelites throughout their generations.
这夜是耶和华的夜; 因耶和华领他们出了埃及地, 所以当向耶和华谨守, 是以色列众人世世代代该谨守的.

12:43 And Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner may eat it.
耶和华对摩西,亚伦说: “逾越节的例是这样: 外邦人都不可吃这羊羔.

12:44 But any slave of a man, an acquisition by money, and you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.
但各人用银子买的奴仆, 既受了割礼就可以吃.

12:45 A temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat it.
寄居的和雇工人都不可吃.

12:46 It will be eaten in one house; you will not bring part of the meat out from the house to the outside; and you will not break a bone of it.
应当在一个房子里吃; 不可把一点肉从房子里带到外头去. 羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断.

12:47 All of the community of Israel will prepare it.
以色列全会众都要守这礼.

12:48 And when an alien dwells with you and he wants to prepare the Passover for Yahweh, every male belonging to him must be circumcised, and then he may come near to prepare it, and he will be as the native of the land, but any uncircumcised man may not eat it.
若有外人寄居在你们中间, 愿向耶和华守逾越节, 他所有的男子务要受割礼, 然后才容他前来遵守, 他也就像本地人一样; 但未受割礼的, 都不可吃这羊羔.

12:49 One law will be for the native and for the alien who is dwelling in your midst.”
本地人和寄居在你们中间的外人同归一例. ”

12:50 And all the Israelites did as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,亚伦, 以色列众人就怎样行了.

12:51 And it was on exactly this day Yahweh brought the Israelites out from the land of Egypt by their divisions.
正当那日, 耶和华将以色列人按著他们的军队, 从埃及地领出来.

Exodus - Chapter 13

13:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

13:2 “Consecrate to me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the Israelites, among humans and among domestic animals; it belongs to me.”
“以色列中凡头生的, 无论是人是牲畜, 都是我的, 要分别为圣归我. ”

13:3 And Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you went out from Egypt, from a house of slaves, because with strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from here, and food with yeast will not be eaten.
摩西对百姓说: “你们要记念从埃及为奴之家出来的这日, 因为耶和华用大能的手将你们从这地方领出来. 有酵的饼都不可吃.

13:4 Today you are going out in the month of Abib.
亚笔月间的这日是你们出来的日子.

13:5 And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites—which he swore to your ancestors to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you will perform this service in this month.
将来耶和华领你进迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,希未人,耶布斯人之地, 就是他向你的祖宗起誓应许给你那流奶与蜜之地, 那时你要在这月间守这礼.

13:6 Seven days you will eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day will be a feast for Yahweh.
你要吃无酵饼七日, 到第七日要向耶和华守节.

13:7 Unleavened bread will be eaten the seven days; food with yeast will not be seen for you; and yeast will not be seen for you in all your territory.
这七日之久, 要吃无酵饼; 在你四境之内不可见有酵的饼, 也不可见发酵的物.

13:8 And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out from Egypt.’
当那日, 你要告诉你的儿子说: ‘这是因耶和华在我出埃及的时候为我所行的事.

13:9 And it will be as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes so that the law of Yahweh will be in your mouth, that with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from Egypt.
这要在你手上作记号, 在你额上作纪念, 使耶和华的律法常在你口中, 因为耶和华曾用大能的手将你从埃及领出来.

13:10 And you will keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
所以你每年要按著日期守这例. ’”

13:11 “And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your ancestors, and he gives it to you,
“将来, 耶和华照他向你和你祖宗所起的誓将你领进迦南人之地, 把这地赐给你,

13:12 you will hand over every first offspring of a womb to Yahweh, and every first offspring dropped by a domestic animal that will belong to you, the males will be for Yahweh.
那时你要将一切头生的, 并牲畜中头生的, 归给耶和华; 公的都要属耶和华.

13:13 And every first offspring of a donkey you will redeem with small livestock, and if you will not redeem it, then you will break its neck, and every firstborn human among your sons you will redeem.
凡头生的驴, 你要用羊羔代赎; 若不代赎, 就要打折牠的颈项. 凡你儿子中头生的都要赎出来.

13:14 And when your son asks you in the future, saying, ‘What is this?’ you will say to him, ‘With strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from a house of slaves.
日后, 你的儿子问你说: ‘这是甚么意思? ’你就说: ‘耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及为奴之家领出来.

13:15 And when Pharaoh was stubborn to release us, Yahweh killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from firstborn human to firstborn domestic animal. Therefore I am sacrificing to Yahweh every first offspring of a womb, the males, and every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
那时法老几乎不容我们去, 耶和华就把埃及地所有头生的, 无论是人是牲畜, 都杀了. 因此, 我把一切头生的公牲畜献给耶和华为祭, 但将头生的儿子都赎出来.

13:16 And it will be as a sign on your hand and as symbolic ornaments between your eyes that with strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt.”
这要在你手上作记号, 在你额上作经文, 因为耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来. ’”

13:17 And when Pharaoh released the people, God did not lead them the way of the land of the Philistines, though it was nearer, because God said, “Lest the people change their mind when they see war and return to Egypt.”
法老容百姓去的时候, 非利士地的道路虽近, 神却不领他们从那里走; 因为神说: “恐怕百姓遇见打仗后悔, 就回埃及去. ”

13:18 So God led the people around by the way of the desert to the Red Sea, and the Israelites went up in battle array from the land of Egypt.
所以神领百姓绕道而行, 走红海旷野的路. 以色列人出埃及地, 都带着兵器上去.

13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites solemnly swear an oath, saying, “God will surely attend to you, and you will take up my bones from here with you.”
摩西把约瑟的骸骨一同带去; 因为约瑟曾叫以色列人严严地起誓, 对他们说: “神必眷顾你们, 你们要把我的骸骨从这里一同带上去. ”

13:20 And they set out from Succoth, and they encamped at Etham on the edge of the desert.
他们从疏割起行, 在旷野边的以倘安营.

13:21 And Yahweh was going before them by day in a column of cloud to lead them on the way and by night in a column of fire to give light to them to go by day and night.
日间, 耶和华在云柱中领他们的路; 夜间, 在火柱中光照他们, 使他们日夜都可以行走.

13:22 The column of cloud by day and the column of fire by night did not depart from before the people.
日间云柱, 夜间火柱, 总不离开百姓的面前.

Exodus - Chapter 14

14:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

14:2 “Speak to the Israelites so that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; before Baal Zephon, which is opposite it, you will camp by the sea.
“你吩咐以色列人转回, 安营在比‧哈希录前, 密夺和海的中间, 对着巴力‧洗分, 靠近海边安营.

14:3 And Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, ‘They are wandering around in the land. The desert has closed in on them.’
法老必说: ‘以色列人在地中绕迷了, 旷野把他们困住了. ’

14:4 And I will harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he will chase after them, and I will be glorified through Pharaoh and through all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” And they did so.
我要使法老的心刚硬, 他要追赶他们, 我便在法老和他全军身上得荣耀; 埃及人就知道我是耶和华. ”于是以色列人这样行了.

14:5 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people fled, and the heart of Pharaoh was changed and that of his servants toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have released Israel from serving us!”
有人告诉埃及王说: “百姓逃跑. ”法老和他的臣仆就向百姓变心, 说: “我们容以色列人去, 不再服事我们, 这做的是甚么事呢? ”

14:6 And he harnessed his chariot and took with him his people.
法老就预备他的车辆, 带领军兵同去,

14:7 And he took six hundred select chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and officers over all of them.
并带着六百辆特选的车和埃及所有的车, 每辆都有车兵长.

14:8 And Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and he chased after the Israelites. (Now the Israelites were going out boldly.)
耶和华使埃及王法老的心刚硬, 他就追赶以色列人, 因为以色列人是昂然无惧地出埃及.

14:9 And the Egyptians chased after them, and they overtook them encamped at the sea—all the horses of the chariots of Pharaoh and his charioteers and his army—at Pi-hahiroth before Baal Zephon.
埃及人追赶他们, 法老一切的马匹,车辆,马兵, 与军兵就在海边上, 靠近比‧哈希录, 对着巴力‧洗分, 在他们安营的地方追上了.

14:10 And Pharaoh approached, and the Israelites lifted their eyes, and there were the Egyptians traveling after them! And they were very afraid, and the Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
法老临近的时候, 以色列人举目看见埃及人赶来, 就甚惧怕, 向耶和华哀求.

14:11 And they said to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt? Is that why you have taken us to die in the desert? What is this you have done to us by bringing us out from Egypt!
他们对摩西说: “难道在埃及没有坟地, 你把我们带来死在旷野吗? 你为甚么这样待我们, 将我们从埃及领出来呢?

14:12 Isn’t this the word we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone so that we can serve Egypt!’ because serving Egypt is better for us than our dying in the desert.”
我们在埃及岂没有对你说过, 不要搅扰我们, 容我们服事埃及人吗? 因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好. ”

14:13 And Moses said to the people, “You must not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will accomplish for you today, because the Egyptians whom you see today you will see never again.
摩西对百姓说: “不要惧怕, 只管站住! 看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩. 因为, 你们今天所看见的埃及人必永远不再看见了.

14:14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you must be quiet.”
耶和华必为你们争战; 你们只管静默, 不要作声. ”

14:15 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites so that they set out.
耶和华对摩西说: “你为甚么向我哀求呢? 你吩咐以色列人往前走.

14:16 And you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it so that the Israelites can go in the middle of the sea on the dry land.
你举手向海伸杖, 把水分开. 以色列人要下海中走干地.

14:17 And as for me, look, I am about to harden the heart of the Egyptians so that they come after them, and I will display my glory through Pharaoh and through all of his army, through his chariots and through his charioteers.
我要使埃及人的心刚硬, 他们就跟着下去. 我要在法老和他的全军,车辆,马兵上得荣耀.

14:18 And the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I display my glory through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his charioteers.”
我在法老和他的车辆,马兵上得荣耀的时候, 埃及人就知道我是耶和华了. ”

14:19 And the angel of God who was going before the camp of Israel set out and went behind them. And the column of cloud set out ahead of them, and it stood still behind them,
在以色列营前行走神的使者, 转到他们后边去; 云柱也从他们前边转到他们后边立住.

14:20 so that it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And it was a dark cloud, but it gave light to the night, so that neither approached the other all night.
在埃及营和以色列营中间有云柱, 一边黑暗, 一边发光, 终夜两下不得相近.

14:21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh moved the sea with a strong east wind all night, and he made the sea become dry ground, and the waters were divided.
摩西向海伸杖, 耶和华便用大东风, 使海水一夜退去, 水便分开, 海就成了干地.

14:22 And the Israelites entered the middle of the sea on the dry land. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left.
以色列人下海中走干地, 水在他们的左右作了墙垣.

14:23 And the Egyptians gave chase and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his charioteers—into the middle of the sea.
埃及人追赶他们, 法老一切的马匹,车辆, 和马兵都跟着下到海中.

14:24 And during the morning watch, Yahweh looked down to the Egyptian camp from in the column of fire and cloud, and he threw the Egyptian camp into a panic.
到了晨更的时候, 耶和华从云火柱中向埃及的军兵观看, 使埃及的军兵混乱了;

14:25 And he removed the wheels of their chariots so that they drove them with difficulty, and the Egyptians said, “We must flee away from Israel because Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt.”
又使他们的车轮脱落, 难以行走, 以致埃及人说: “我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧! 因耶和华为他们攻击我们了. ”

14:26 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their charioteers.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你向海伸杖, 叫水仍合在埃及人并他们的车辆,马兵身上. ”

14:27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned at daybreak to its normal level, and the Egyptians were fleeing because of it, and Yahweh swept the Egyptians into the middle of the sea.
摩西就向海伸杖, 到了天一亮, 海水仍旧复原. 埃及人避水逃跑的时候, 耶和华把他们推翻在海中,

14:28 And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the charioteers—all the army of Pharaoh coming after them into the sea. Not even one survived among them.
水就回流, 淹没了车辆和马兵. 那些跟着以色列人下海法老的全军, 连一个也没有剩下.

14:29 But the Israelites walked on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left.
以色列人却在海中走干地; 水在他们的左右作了墙垣.

14:30 And Yahweh saved Israel on that day from the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea.
当日, 耶和华这样拯救以色列人脱离埃及人的手, 以色列人看见埃及人的死尸都在海边了.

14:31 And Israel saw the great hand that Yahweh displayed against Egypt, and the people feared Yahweh, and they believed in Yahweh and in Moses his servant.
以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所行的大事, 就敬畏耶和华, 又信服他和他的仆人摩西.

Exodus - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to Yahweh, and they said, “Let me sing to Yahweh because he is highly exalted; the horse and its rider he hurled into the sea.
那时, 摩西和以色列人向耶和华唱歌说: 我要向耶和华歌唱, 因他大大战胜, 将马和骑马的投在海中.

15:2 Yah is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him—the God of my father—and I will exalt him.
耶和华是我的力量, 我的诗歌, 也成了我的拯救. 这是我的神, 我要赞美他, 是我父亲的神, 我要尊崇他.

15:3 Yahweh is a man of war; Yahweh is his name.
耶和华是战士; 他的名是耶和华.

15:4 The chariots of Pharaoh and his army he cast into the sea, and his choice adjutants were sunk in the Red Sea.
法老的车辆,军兵, 耶和华已抛在海中; 他特选的军长都沉于红海.

15:5 The deep waters covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.
深水淹没他们; 他们如同石头坠到深处.

15:6 Yahweh, your right hand is glorious in power; Yahweh, your right hand destroyed the enemy.
耶和华啊, 你的右手施展能力, 显出荣耀; 耶和华啊, 你的右手摔碎仇敌.

15:7 And in the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those standing up to you; you released your fierce anger, and it consumed them like stubble.
你大发威严, 推翻那些起来攻击你的; 你发出烈怒如火, 烧灭他们像烧碎秸一样.

15:8 And by the breath of your nostrils waters were piled up; waves stood like a heap; deep waters in the middle of the sea congealed.
你发鼻中的气, 水便聚起成堆, 大水直立如垒, 海中的深水凝结.

15:9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide plunder, my desire will be full of them, I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.’
仇敌说: 我要追赶, 我要追上; 我要分掳物, 我要在他们身上称我的心愿. 我要拔出刀来, 亲手杀灭他们.

15:10 You blew with your breath; the sea covered them; they dropped like lead in the mighty waters.
你叫风一吹, 海就把他们淹没; 他们如铅沉在大水之中.

15:11 Who is like you among the gods, Yahweh? Who is like you—glorious in holiness, awesome in praiseworthy actions, doing wonders?
耶和华啊, 众神之中, 谁能像你? 谁能像你─至圣至荣, 可颂可畏, 施行奇事?

15:12 You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.
你伸出右手, 地便吞灭他们.

15:13 In your loyal love you led the people whom you redeemed; in your strength you guided them to the abode of your holiness.
你凭慈爱领了你所赎的百姓; 你凭能力引他们到了你的圣所.

15:14 Peoples heard; they trembled; anguish seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
外邦人听见就发颤; 疼痛抓住非利士的居民.

15:15 Then the chiefs of Edom were horrified; great distress seized the leaders of Moab; all of the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
那时, 以东的族长惊惶, 摩押的英雄被战兢抓住, 迦南的居民心都消化了.

15:16 Terror and dread fell on them; at the greatness of your arm they became silent like the stone, until your people passed by, Yahweh, until the people whom you bought passed by.
惊骇恐惧临到他们. 耶和华啊, 因你膀臂的大能, 他们如石头寂然不动, 等候你的百姓过去, 等候你所赎的百姓过去.

15:17 You brought them and planted them on the mountain of your inheritance, a place you made for yourself to inhabit, Yahweh, a sanctuary, Lord, that your hands established.
你要将他们领进去, 栽于你产业的山上─耶和华啊, 就是你为自己所造的住处; 主啊, 就是你手所建立的圣所.

15:18 Yahweh will reign as king forever and ever.”
耶和华必作王, 直到永永远远!

15:19 When the horses of Pharaoh came into the sea with his chariots and with his charioteers, Yahweh brought back upon them the waters of the sea, and the Israelites traveled on dry ground through the middle of the sea.
法老的马匹,车辆, 和马兵下到海中, 耶和华使海水回流, 淹没他们; 惟有以色列人在海中走干地.

15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took her tambourine in her hand, and all of the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances.
亚伦的姊姊, 女先知米利暗, 手里拿着鼓; 众妇女也跟她出去拿鼓跳舞.

15:21 And Miriam answered, “Sing to Yahweh because he is highly exalted; the horse and its rider he hurled into the sea.”
米利暗应声说: 你们要歌颂耶和华, 因他大大战胜, 将马和骑马的投在海中.

15:22 And Moses caused Israel to set out from the Red Sea, and they went out into the desert of Shur, and they traveled three days in the desert, and they did not find water.
摩西领以色列人从红海往前行, 到了书珥的旷野, 在旷野走了三天, 找不著水.

15:23 And they came to Marah, and they were not able to drink water from Marah because it was bitter. Therefore it was named Marah.
到了玛拉, 不能喝那里的水; 因为水苦, 所以那地名叫玛拉.

15:24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
百姓就向摩西发怨言, 说: “我们喝甚么呢? ”

15:25 And he cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a piece of wood, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There he made a rule and regulation for them, and there he tested them.
摩西呼求耶和华, 耶和华指示他一棵树. 他把树丢在水里, 水就变甜了. 耶和华在那里为他们定了律例,典章, 在那里试验他们;

15:26 And he said, “If you carefully listen to the voice of Yahweh your God and you do what is right in his eyes and give heed to his commands and you keep all his rules, then I will not bring about on you any of the diseases that I brought about on Egypt, because I am Yahweh your healer.
又说: “你若留意听耶和华─你神的话, 又行我眼中看为正的事, 留心听我的诫命, 守我一切的律例, 我就不将所加与埃及人的疾病加在你身上, 因为我─耶和华是医治你的. ”

15:27 And they came to Elim, and twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees were there, and they encamped there at the water.
他们到了以琳, 在那里有十二股水泉, 七十棵棕树; 他们就在那里的水边安营.

Exodus - Chapter 16

16:1 And they set out from Elim, and all the community of the Israelites came to the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, in the fifteenth day of the second month of their going out from the land of Egypt.
以色列全会众从以琳起行, 在出埃及后第二个月十五日到了以琳和西奈中间,汛的旷野.

16:2 And all the community of the Israelites grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the desert.
以色列全会众在旷野向摩西,亚伦发怨言,

16:3 And the Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread until we were full, because you have brought us out to this desert to kill all of this assembly with hunger.”
说: “巴不得我们早死在埃及地,耶和华的手下; 那时我们坐在肉锅旁边, 吃得饱足. 你们将我们领出来, 到这旷野, 是要叫这全会众都饿死啊! ”

16:4 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, I am going to rain down for you bread from the heavens, and the people will go out and gather enough for the day on its day; in that way I will test them: Will they go according to my law or not?
耶和华对摩西说: “我要将粮食从天降给你们. 百姓可以出去, 每天收每天的分, 我好试验他们遵不遵我的法度.

16:5 And then on the sixth day, they will prepare what they bring, and it will be twice over what they will gather every other day.”
到第六天, 他们要把所收进来的预备好了, 比每天所收的多一倍. ”

16:6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “In the evening, you will know that Yahweh has brought you out from the land of Egypt,
摩西,亚伦对以色列众人说: “到了晚上, 你们要知道是耶和华将你们从埃及地领出来的.

16:7 and in the morning, you will see the glory of Yahweh, for he hears your grumblings against Yahweh, and what are we that you grumble against us?”
早晨, 你们要看见耶和华的荣耀, 因为耶和华听见你们向他所发的怨言了. 我们算甚么, 你们竟向我们发怨言呢? ”

16:8 And Moses said, “When in the evening Yahweh gives you meat to eat and bread in the morning to fill up on, for he hears your grumblings that you grumble against him—and what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against Yahweh.”
摩西又说: “耶和华晚上必给你们肉吃, 早晨必给你们食物得饱; 因为你们向耶和华发的怨言, 他都听见了. 我们算甚么, 你们的怨言不是向我们发的, 乃是向耶和华发的. ”

16:9 And Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the community of the Israelites, ‘Come near before Yahweh because he has heard your grumblings.’ ”
摩西对亚伦说: “你告诉以色列全会众说: ‘你们就近耶和华面前, 因为他已经听见你们的怨言了. ’”

16:10 And at the moment of Aaron’s speaking to all the community of the Israelites, they turned to the desert, and just then the glory of Yahweh appeared in the cloud.
亚伦正对以色列全会众说话的时候, 他们向旷野观看, 不料, 耶和华的荣光在云中显现.

16:11 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

16:12 “I have heard the grumblings of the Israelites. Speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be full with bread, and you will know that I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
“我已经听见以色列人的怨言. 你告诉他们说: ‘到黄昏的时候, 你们要吃肉, 早晨必有食物得饱, 你们就知道我是耶和华─你们的神. ’”

16:13 And so it was, in the evening, the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning, a layer of dew was all around the camp.
到了晚上, 有鹌鹑飞来, 遮满了营; 早晨在营四围的地上有露水.

16:14 And the layer of dew came up, and there on the face of the desert was a fine granular substance, fine like frost on the ground.
露水上升之后, 不料, 野地面上有如白霜的小圆物.

16:15 And the Israelites saw, and they said to each other, “What is this?” because they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “That is the bread that Yahweh has given to you as food.
以色列人看见, 不知道是甚么, 就彼此对问说: “这是甚么呢? ”摩西对他们说: “这就是耶和华给你们吃的食物.

16:16 This is the word that Yahweh commanded, ‘Gather from it, each according to what he can eat, an omer per person according to the number of you. You each shall take enough for whoever is in his tent.’ ”
耶和华所吩咐的是这样: 你们要按著各人的饭量, 为帐棚里的人, 按着人数收起来, 各拿一俄梅珥. ”

16:17 And the Israelites did so, and they gathered, some more and some less.
以色列人就这样行; 有多收的, 有少收的.

16:18 And when they measured with the omer, the one gathering more had no surplus, and the one gathering less had no lack; they gathered each according to what he could eat.
及至用俄梅珥量一量, 多收的也没有余, 少收的也没有缺; 各人按著自己的饭量收取.

16:19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it until morning.”
摩西对他们说: “所收的, 不许甚么人留到早晨. ”

16:20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some people left some of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
然而他们不听摩西的话, 内中有留到早晨的, 就生虫变臭了; 摩西便向他们发怒.

16:21 And they gathered it morning by morning, each according to what he could eat, and it melted when the sun was hot.
他们每日早晨, 按著各人的饭量收取, 日头一发热, 就消化了.

16:22 And when it was the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one person, and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.
到第六天, 他们收了双倍的食物, 每人两俄梅珥. 会众的官长来告诉摩西;

16:23 And he said to them, “This is what Yahweh has said. Tomorrow is a rest period, a holy Sabbath for Yahweh. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Put aside all the surplus for yourselves for safekeeping until the morning.”
摩西对他们说: “耶和华这样说: ‘明天是圣安息日, 是向耶和华守的圣安息日. 你们要烤的就烤了, 要煮的就煮了, 所剩下的都留到早晨. ’”

16:24 And they put it aside until the morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not make a stench, and not a maggot was in it.
他们就照摩西的吩咐留到早晨, 也不臭, 里头也没有虫子.

16:25 And Moses said, “Eat it today, because today is a Sabbath for Yahweh. Today you will not find it in the field.
摩西说: “你们今天吃这个吧! 因为今天是向耶和华守的安息日; 你们在田野必找不著了.

16:26 Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, it will not be present on it.”
六天可以收取, 第七天乃是安息日, 那一天必没有了. ”

16:27 And on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, and they did not find any.
第七天, 百姓中有人出去收, 甚么也找不著.

16:28 And Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commands and my laws?
耶和华对摩西说: “你们不肯守我的诫命和律法, 要到几时呢?

16:29 See, because Yahweh has given to you the Sabbath, therefore he is giving to you on the sixth day bread for two days. Stay, each in his location; let no one go from his place on the seventh day.”
你们看! 耶和华既将安息日赐给你们, 所以第六天他赐给你们两天的食物, 第七天各人要住在自己的地方, 不许甚么人出去. ”

16:30 And the people rested on the seventh day.
于是百姓第七天安息了.

16:31 And the house of Israel called its name “manna.” And it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like a wafer with honey.
这食物, 以色列家叫吗哪; 样子像芫荽子, 颜色是白的, 滋味如同搀蜜的薄饼.

16:32 And Moses said, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded. ‘A full omer of it is for safekeeping for your generations so that they will see the bread that I fed you in the desert when I brought you from the land of Egypt.’ ”
摩西说: “耶和华所吩咐的是这样: ‘要将一满俄梅珥吗哪留到世世代代, 使后人可以看见我当日将你们领出埃及地, 在旷野所给你们吃的食物. ’”

16:33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one jar and put there a full omer of manna. Leave it before Yahweh for safekeeping for your generations.”
摩西对亚伦说: “你拿一个罐子, 盛一满俄梅珥吗哪, 存在耶和华面前, 要留到世世代代. ”

16:34 As Yahweh had commanded Moses, so Aaron left it before the testimony for safekeeping.
耶和华怎么吩咐摩西, 亚伦就怎么行, 把吗哪放在法柜前存留.

16:35 And the Israelites ate the manna forty years, until their coming to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until their coming to the border of the land of Canaan.
以色列人吃吗哪共四十年, 直到进了有人居住之地, 就是迦南的境界.

16:36 (And an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
(俄梅珥就是伊法十分之一. )

Exodus - Chapter 17

17:1 And all the community of the Israelites set out from the desert of Sin for their journeys according to the command of Yahweh, and they camped in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.
以色列全会众都遵耶和华的吩咐, 按著站口从汛的旷野往前行, 在利非订安营. 百姓没有水喝,

17:2 And the people quarreled with Moses, and they said, “Give us water so that we can drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”
所以与摩西争闹, 说: “给我们水喝吧! ”摩西对他们说: “你们为甚么与我争闹? 为甚么试探耶和华呢? ”

17:3 And the people thirsted for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why ever did you bring us up from Egypt to kill me and my sons and my cattle with thirst?”
百姓在那里甚渴, 要喝水, 就向摩西发怨言, 说: “你为甚么将我们从埃及领出来, 使我们和我们的儿女并牲畜都渴死呢? ”

17:4 And Moses cried out to Yahweh, saying, “What will I do with this people? A little longer and they will stone me.”
摩西就呼求耶和华说: “我向这百姓怎样行呢? 他们几乎要拿石头打死我. ”

17:5 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on before the people and take with you some from the elders of Israel, and the staff with which you struck the Nile take in your hand, and go.
耶和华对摩西说: “你手里拿着你先前击打河水的杖, 带领以色列的几个长老, 从百姓面前走过去.

17:6 Look, I will be standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you will strike the rock, and water will come out from it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.
我必在何烈的磐石那里, 站在你面前. 你要击打磐石, 从磐石里必有水流出来, 使百姓可以喝. ”摩西就在以色列的长老眼前这样行了.

17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrel of the Israelites and because of their testing Yahweh by saying, “Is Yahweh in our midst or not?”
他给那地方起名叫玛撒(就是试探的意思), 又叫米利巴(就是争闹的意思); 因以色列人争闹, 又因他们试探耶和华, 说: “耶和华是在我们中间不是? ”

17:8 And Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.
那时, 亚玛力人来在利非订, 和以色列人争战.

摩西对约书亚说: “你为我们选出人来, 出去和亚玛力人争战. 明天我手里要拿着神的杖, 站在山顶上. ”

于是约书亚照着摩西对他所说的话行, 和亚玛力人争战. 摩西,亚伦, 与户珥都上了山顶.

17:11 And when Moses raised his hand, Israel would prevail, but when he rested his hand, Amalek would prevail.
摩西何时举手, 以色列人就得胜, 何时垂手, 亚玛力人就得胜.

17:12 But the hands of Moses were heavy, and they took a stone and placed it under him, and he sat on it; Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on each side, and his hands were steady until sundown.
但摩西的手发沉, 他们就搬石头来, 放在他以下, 他就坐在上面. 亚伦与户珥扶著他的手, 一个在这边, 一个在那边, 他的手就稳住, 直到日落的时候.

17:13 And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
约书亚用刀杀了亚玛力王和他的百姓.

17:14 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in the scroll and recite it in the hearing of Joshua, because I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.”
耶和华对摩西说: “我要将亚玛力的名号从天下全然涂抹了; 你要将这话写在书上作纪念, 又念给约书亚听. ”

17:15 And Moses built an altar, and he called its name Yahweh Is My Banner.
摩西筑了一座坛, 起名叫“耶和华尼西”(就是耶和华是我旌旗的意思),

17:16 And he said, “Because a hand was against the throne of Yah, a war will be for Yahweh with Amalek from generation to generation.”
又说: “耶和华已经起了誓, 必世世代代和亚玛力人争战. ”

但第七日是向耶和华─你神当守的安息日. 这一日你和你的儿女,仆婢,牲畜, 并你城里寄居的客旅, 无论何工都不可做;

因为六日之内, 耶和华造天,地,海, 和其中的万物, 第七日便安息, 所以耶和华赐福与安息日, 定为圣日.

对摩西说: “求你和我们说话, 我们必听; 不要神和我们说话, 恐怕我们死亡. ”

你若为我筑一座石坛, 不可用凿成的石头, 因你在上头一动家具, 就把坛污秽了.

20:26 You will not go up with steps onto my altar, that your nakedness not be exposed on it.’
你上我的坛, 不可用台阶, 免得露出你的下体来. ’”

Exodus - Chapter 21

21:1 “And these are the regulations that you will set before them.

他若孤身来就可以孤身去; 他若有妻, 他的妻就可以同他出去.

21:4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears for him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will belong to her master, and the slave will go out single.
他主人若给他妻子, 妻子给他生了儿子或女儿, 妻子和儿女要归主人, 他要独自出去.

21:5 But if the slave explicitly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,”
倘或奴仆明说: ‘我爱我的主人和我的妻子儿女, 不愿意自由出去. ’

21:6 his master will present him to God and bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master will pierce his ear with an awl, and he will serve him forever.
他的主人就要带他到审判官(或译: 神; 下同)那里, 又要带他到门前, 靠近门框, 用锥子穿他的耳朵, 他就永远服事主人.

21:7 “ ‘And if a man sells his daughter as a slave woman, she will not go out as male slaves go out.
“人若卖女儿作婢女, 婢女不可像男仆那样出去.

21:8 If she does not please her master who selected her, he will allow her to be redeemed; he has no authority to sell her to foreign people, since he has dealt treacherously with her.
主人选定她归自己, 若不喜欢她, 就要许她赎身; 主人既然用诡诈待她, 就没有权柄卖给外邦人.

21:9 And if he selects her for his son, he shall do for her according to the regulations for daughters.
主人若选定她给自己的儿子, 就当待她如同女儿.

21:10 If he takes for himself another, he will not reduce her food, her clothing, or her right of cohabitation.
若另娶一个, 那女子的吃食,衣服, 并好合的事, 仍不可减少.

21:11 And if he does not do for her these three, she shall go out for nothing; there will not be silver paid for her.
若不向她行这三样, 她就可以不用钱赎, 白白地出去. ”

21:12 “ ‘Whoever strikes someone and he dies will surely be put to death.
“打人以致打死的, 必要把他治死.

21:13 But if he did not lie in wait and it was an accident, I will appoint for you a place to which he may flee.
人若不是埋伏著杀人, 乃是神交在他手中, 我就设下一个地方, 他可以往那里逃跑.

21:14 But if a man schemes against his neighbor to kill him by treachery, you will take him from my altar to die.

21:15 And whoever strikes his father or his mother will surely be put to death.

21:19 if he stands and walks about in the outside on his staff, the striker will be unpunished; he will only pay for his inactivity toward his full recovery.”
若再能起来扶杖而出, 那打他的可算无罪; 但要将他耽误的工夫用钱赔补, 并要将他全然医好.

21:20 And if a man strikes his male slave or his female slave with the rod and he dies under his hand, he will surely be avenged.
“人若用棍子打奴仆或婢女, 立时死在他的手下, 他必要受刑.

21:21 Yet if he survives a day or two days, he will not be avenged, because he is his money.
若过一两天才死, 就可以不受刑, 因为是用钱买的.

21:22 “ ‘And if men fight and they injure a pregnant woman, and her children go out and there is not serious injury, he will surely be fined as the woman’s husband demands concerning him and as the judges determine.
“人若彼此争斗, 伤害有孕的妇人, 甚至坠胎, 随后却无别害, 那伤害她的, 总要按妇人的丈夫所要的, 照审判官所断的, 受罚.

21:23 And if there is serious injury, you will give life in place of life,
若有别害, 就要以命偿命,

21:24 eye in place of eye, tooth in place of tooth, hand in place of hand, foot in place of foot,
以眼还眼, 以牙还牙, 以手还手, 以脚还脚,

21:25 burn in place of burn, wound in place of wound, bruise in place of bruise.
以烙还烙, 以伤还伤, 以打还打.

21:26 “ ‘And if a man strikes the eye of his male slave or the eye of his female slave and destroys it, he shall release him as free in place of his eye.
“人若打坏了他奴仆或是婢女的一只眼, 就要因他的眼放他去得以自由.

32:1 And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, and the people gathered opposite Aaron, and they said to him, “Come, make for us gods who will go before us, because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”
百姓见摩西迟延不下山, 就大家聚集到亚伦那里, 对他说: “起来! 为我们做神像, 可以在我们前面引路; 因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西, 我们不知道他遭了甚么事. ”

32:2 And Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring it to me.”
亚伦对他们说: “你们去摘下你们妻子,儿女耳上的金环, 拿来给我. ”

32:3 And all the people took off the rings of gold that were on their ears and brought it to Aaron.
百姓就都摘下他们耳上的金环, 拿来给亚伦.

32:4 And he took from their hand, and he shaped it with a tool, and he made it a cast-image bull calf, and they said, “These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”
亚伦从他们手里接过来, 铸了一只牛犊, 用雕刻的器具做成. 他们就说: “以色列啊, 这是领你出埃及地的神. ”

32:5 And Aaron saw, and he built an altar before it, and Aaron called, and he said, “A feast for Yahweh tomorrow.”
亚伦看见, 就在牛犊面前筑坛, 且宣告说: “明日要向耶和华守节. ”

32:6 And they started early the next day, and they offered burnt offerings, and they presented fellowship offerings, and the people sat to eat and drink, and they rose up to revel.
次日清早, 百姓起来献燔祭和平安祭, 就坐下吃喝, 起来玩耍.

32:7 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, go down because your people behave corruptly, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt.
耶和华吩咐摩西说: “下去吧, 因为你的百姓, 就是你从埃及地领出来的, 已经败坏了.

32:8 They have turned aside quickly from the way that I commanded them; they have made for themselves a cast-image bull calf, and they bowed to it, and they sacrificed to it, and they said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.’ ”
他们快快偏离了我所吩咐的道, 为自己铸了一只牛犊, 向它下拜献祭, 说: ‘以色列啊, 这就是领你出埃及地的神. ’”

32:9 And Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and, indeed, they are a stiff-necked people.
耶和华对摩西说: “我看这百姓真是硬著颈项的百姓.

32:10 And now leave me alone so that my anger may blaze against them, and let me destroy them, and I will make you into a great nation.”
你且由著我, 我要向他们发烈怒, 将他们灭绝, 使你的后裔成为大国. ”

32:11 And Moses implored Yahweh his God, and he said, “Why, Yahweh, should your anger blaze against your people whom you brought up from the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand?
摩西便恳求耶和华─他的神说: “耶和华啊, 你为甚么向你的百姓发烈怒呢? 这百姓是你用大力和大能的手从埃及地领出来的.

32:12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent he brought them out to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger and relent concerning the disaster for your people.
为甚么使埃及人议论说‘他领他们出去, 是要降祸与他们, 把他们杀在山中, 将他们从地上除灭’? 求你转意, 不发你的烈怒, 后悔, 不降祸与你的百姓.

32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by yourself, and you told them, ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I promised I will give to your offspring, and they will inherit it forever.’ ”
求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列. 你曾指著自己起誓说: ‘我必使你们的后裔像天上的星那样多, 并且我所应许的这全地, 必给你们的后裔, 他们要永远承受为业. ’”

32:14 And Yahweh relented concerning the disaster that he had threatened to do to his people.
于是耶和华后悔, 不把所说的祸降与他的百姓.

32:15 And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the testimony were in his hand, tablets written on their two sides; on the front and on the back they were written.
摩西转身下山, 手里拿着两块法版. 这版是两面写的, 这面那面都有字,

32:16 And the tablets, they were the work of God; and the writing, it was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.
是神的工作, 字是神写的, 刻在版上.

32:17 And Joshua heard the sound of the people in their shouting, and he said to Moses, “A sound of war is in the camp.”
约书亚一听见百姓呼喊的声音, 就对摩西说: “在营里有争战的声音. ”

32:18 But he said, “There is not a sound of shouting of victory, and there is not a sound of shouting of defeat. I hear a sound of singing.”
摩西说: “这不是人打胜仗的声音, 也不是人打败仗的声音, 我所听见的乃是人歌唱的声音. ”

32:19 And as he came near to the camp, he saw the bull calf and dancing, and Moses became angry, and he threw the tablets from his hand, and he broke them under the mountain.
摩西挨近营前就看见牛犊, 又看见人跳舞, 便发烈怒, 把两块版扔在山下摔碎了,

32:20 And he took the bull calf that they had made, and he burned it with the fire, and he crushed it until it became fine, and he scattered it on the surface of the water, and he made the Israelites drink.
又将他们所铸的牛犊用火焚烧, 磨得粉碎, 撒在水面上, 叫以色列人喝.

32:21 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you brought on them such a great sin?”
摩西对亚伦说: “这百姓向你做了甚么? 你竟使他们陷在大罪里! ”

32:22 And Aaron said, “Let not my lord become angry. You yourself know the people, that they are intent on evil.
亚伦说: “求我主不要发烈怒. 这百姓专于作恶, 是你知道的.

32:23 And they said to me, ‘Make for us gods who will go before us, because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
他们对我说: ‘你为我们做神像, 可以在我们前面引路; 因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西, 我们不知道他遭了甚么事. ’

32:24 And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, take it off.’ And they gave it to me, and I threw it in the fire, and out came this bull calf.”
我对他们说: ‘凡有金环的可以摘下来’, 他们就给了我. 我把金环扔在火中, 这牛犊便出来了. ”

32:25 And Moses saw the people, that they were running wild because Aaron had allowed them to run wild, for a laughingstock among their enemies.
摩西见百姓放肆(亚伦纵容他们, 使他们在仇敌中间被讥刺),

32:26 And Moses stood at the entrance of the camp, and he said, “Whoever is for Yahweh, to me.” And all the sons of Levi were gathered to him.
就站在营门中, 说: “凡属耶和华的, 都要到我这里来! ”于是利未的子孙都到他那里聚集.

32:27 And he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Put each his sword on his side. Go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill, each his brother and each his friend and each his close relative.’ ”
他对他们说: “耶和华─以色列的神这样说: ‘你们各人把刀跨在腰间, 在营中往来, 从这门到那门, 各人杀他的弟兄与同伴并邻舍. ’”

32:28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and from the people on that day about three thousand persons fell.
利未的子孙照摩西的话行了. 那一天百姓中被杀的约有三千.

32:29 And Moses said, “You are ordained today for Yahweh, because each has been against his son and against his brother and so bringing on you today a blessing.”
摩西说: “今天你们要自洁, 归耶和华为圣, 各人攻击他的儿子和弟兄, 使耶和华赐福与你们. ”

32:30 And the next day Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
到了第二天, 摩西对百姓说: “你们犯了大罪. 我如今要上耶和华那里去, 或者可以为你们赎罪. ”

32:31 And Moses returned to Yahweh, and he said, “Alas, this people has sinned a great sin and made for themselves gods of gold.
摩西回到耶和华那里, 说: “唉! 这百姓犯了大罪, 为自己做了金像.

32:32 And now if you will forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me from your scroll that you have written.”
倘或你肯赦免他们的罪……不然, 求你从你所写的册上涂抹我的名. ”

32:33 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot him from my scroll.
耶和华对摩西说: “谁得罪我, 我就从我的册上涂抹谁的名.

32:34 And now go, lead the people to where I spoke to you. Look, my angel will go before you, and on the day when I punish I will punish them for their sin.”
现在你去领这百姓, 往我所告诉你的地方去, 我的使者必在你前面引路; 只是到我追讨的日子, 我必追讨他们的罪. ”

32:35 And Yahweh afflicted the people because they had made the bull calf that Aaron had made.
耶和华杀百姓的缘故是因他们同亚伦做了牛犊.

Exodus - Chapter 33

33:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
耶和华吩咐摩西说: “我曾起誓应许亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各说: ‘要将迦南地赐给你的后裔. ’现在你和你从埃及地所领出来的百姓, 要从这里往那地去.

33:2 And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
我要差遣使者在你前面, 撵出迦南人,亚摩利人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人,

33:3 Go to a land flowing with milk and honey, but I will not go up among you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I destroy you on the way.”
领你到那流奶与蜜之地. 我自己不同你们上去; 因为你们是硬著颈项的百姓, 恐怕我在路上把你们灭绝. ”

33:4 And the people heard this troubling word, and they mourned, and they each did not put their ornaments on themselves.
百姓听见这凶信就悲哀, 也没有人佩戴妆饰.

33:5 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people; if one moment I were to go up among you, I would destroy you. And now take down your ornaments from on you, and I will decide what I will do to you.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你告诉以色列人说: ‘耶和华说: 你们是硬著颈项的百姓, 我若一霎时临到你们中间, 必灭绝你们. 现在你们要把身上的妆饰摘下来, 使我可以知道怎样待你们. ’”

33:6 And the Israelites stripped themselves of their ornaments from Mount Horeb onward.
以色列人从住何烈山以后, 就把身上的妆饰摘得干净.

33:7 And Moses took the tent and pitched it outside the camp far from the camp, and he called it the tent of assembly, and all seeking Yahweh would go out to the tent of assembly, which was outside the camp.
摩西素常将帐棚支搭在营外, 离营却远, 他称这帐棚为会幕. 凡求问耶和华的, 就到营外的会幕那里去.

33:8 And at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people would rise and stand, each at the opening of his tent, and gaze after Moses until his entering the tent.
当摩西出营到会幕去的时候, 百姓就都起来, 各人站在自己帐棚的门口, 望着摩西, 直等到他进了会幕.

33:9 And at the entering of Moses into the tent the column of cloud would descend and stand at the opening of the tent, and he would speak with Moses.
摩西进会幕的时候, 云柱降下来, 立在会幕的门前, 耶和华便与摩西说话.

33:10 And all the people would see the column of cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people would rise and bow in worship, each at the opening of his tent.
众百姓看见云柱立在会幕门前, 就都起来, 各人在自己帐棚的门口下拜.

33:11 And Yahweh would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his neighbor. And he would return to the camp, and his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the middle of the tent.
耶和华与摩西面对面说话, 好像人与朋友说话一般. 摩西转到营里去, 惟有他的帮手─一个少年人嫩的儿子约书亚不离开会幕.

33:12 And Moses said to Yahweh, “See, you are saying to me, ‘Take this people up.’ But you have not let me know whom you will send with me, and you yourself have said, ‘I know you by name, and you also have found favor in my eyes.’
摩西对耶和华说: “你吩咐我说: ‘将这百姓领上去’, 却没有叫我知道你要打发谁与我同去, 只说: ‘我按你的名认识你, 你在我眼前也蒙了恩. ’

33:13 And now if I have found favor in your eyes, make known to me, please, your way, and so I may know you so that I can find favor in your eyes. And see that this nation is your people.”
我如今若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你将你的道指示我, 使我可以认识你, 好在你眼前蒙恩. 求你想到这民是你的民. ”

33:14 And he said, “My presence will go, and I will give you rest.”
耶和华说: “我必亲自和你同去, 使你得安息. ”

33:15 And he said to him, “If your presence is not going, do not bring us up from here.
摩西说: “你若不亲自和我同去, 就不要把我们从这里领上去.

33:16 And by what will it be known then that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us? And so we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the ground.”
人在何事上得以知道我和你的百姓在你眼前蒙恩呢? 岂不是因你与我们同去,使我和你的百姓与地上的万民有分别吗? ”

33:17 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Also I will do this thing that you have spoken, because you have found favor in my eyes and I have known you by name.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你这所求的我也要行; 因为你在我眼前蒙了恩, 并且我按你的名认识你. ”

33:18 And he said, “Please show me your glory.”
摩西说: “求你显出你的荣耀给我看. ”

33:19 And he said, “I myself will cause all my goodness to pass over before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.”
耶和华说: “我要显我一切的恩慈, 在你面前经过, 宣告我的名. 我要恩待谁就恩待谁; 要怜悯谁就怜悯谁”;

33:20 But he said, “You are not able to see my face, because a human will not see me and live.”
又说: “你不能看见我的面, 因为人见我的面不能存活. ”

33:21 And Yahweh said, “There is a place with me, and you will stand on the rock.
耶和华说: “看哪, 在我这里有地方, 你要站在磐石上.

33:22 And when my glory passes over, I will put you in the rock’s crevice, and I will cover you with my hand until I pass over.
我的荣耀经过的时候, 我必将你放在磐石穴中, 用我的手遮掩你, 等我过去,

33:23 And I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be visible.”
然后我要将我的手收回, 你就得见我的背, 却不得见我的面. ”

Exodus - Chapter 34

34:1 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
耶和华吩咐摩西说: “你要凿出两块石版, 和先前你摔碎的那版一样; 其上的字我要写在这版上.

34:2 And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain.
明日早晨, 你要预备好了, 上西奈山, 在山顶上站在我面前.

34:3 And no one will go up with you, and neither let anyone be seen on all the mountain, nor let the sheep and goats and the cattle graze opposite that mountain.”
谁也不可和你一同上去, 遍山都不可有人, 在山根也不可叫羊群牛群吃草. ”

摩西就凿出两块石版, 和先前的一样. 清晨起来, 照耶和华所吩咐的上西奈山去, 手里拿着两块石版.

耶和华在云中降临, 和摩西一同站在那里, 宣告耶和华的名.

34:6 And Yahweh passed over before him, and he proclaimed, “Yahweh, Yahweh, God, who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding with loyal love and faithfulness,
耶和华在他面前宣告说: “耶和华, 耶和华, 是有怜悯有恩典的神, 不轻易发怒, 并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实,

34:7 keeping loyal love to the thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and he does not leave utterly unpunished, punishing the guilt of fathers on sons and on sons of sons on third and fourth generations.”
为千万人存留慈爱, 赦免罪孽,过犯, 和罪恶, 万不以有罪的为无罪, 必追讨他的罪, 自父及子, 直到三,四代. ”

34:8 And Moses hurried and knelt down to the earth and worshiped.
摩西急忙伏地下拜,

34:9 And he said, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, Lord, let my Lord, please, go among us—indeed it is a stiff-necked people—and forgive our iniquity and our sin and take us as your possession.”
说: “主啊, 我若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你在我们中间同行, 因为这是硬著颈项的百姓. 又求你赦免我们的罪孽和罪恶, 以我们为你的产业. ”

34:10 And he said, “Look, I am about to make a covenant. In front of all your people I will do wonders that have not been created on all the earth and among all the nations, and all the people among whom you are will see Yahweh’s work, because what I am about to do with you will be awesome.
耶和华说: “我要立约, 要在百姓面前行奇妙的事, 是在遍地万国中所未曾行的. 在你四围的外邦人就要看见耶和华的作为, 因我向你所行的是可畏惧的事.

34:11 “Keep for yourself what I myself have commanded you today. Look, I am about to drive from before you the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
“我今天所吩咐你的, 你要谨守. 我要从你面前撵出亚摩利人,迦南人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人.

34:12 Be careful for yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, lest it be a snare among you.
你要谨慎, 不可与你所去那地的居民立约, 恐怕成为你们中间的网罗;

34:13 Rather, you will tear down their altars, and you will break their stone pillars, and you will cut off their Asherah poles.

34:14 For you will not bow in worship to another god, for ‘Yahweh Is Jealous’ is his name, he is a jealous God,

34:15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they prostitute themselves after their gods, and they sacrifice to their gods, and they invite you, and you eat their sacrifice,
只怕你与那地的居民立约, 百姓随从他们的神, 就行邪淫, 祭祀他们的神, 有人叫你, 你便吃他的祭物,

凡头生的都是我的; 一切牲畜头生的, 无论是牛是羊, 公的都是我的.

头生的驴要用羊羔代赎, 若不代赎就要打折牠的颈项. 凡头生的儿子都要赎出来. 谁也不可空手朝见我.

地里首先初熟之物要送到耶和华─你神的殿. 不可用山羊羔母的奶煮山羊羔. ”

耶和华吩咐摩西说: “你要将这些话写上, 因为我是按这话与你和以色列人立约. ”

摩西在耶和华那里四十昼夜, 也不吃饭也不喝水. 耶和华将这约的话, 就是十条诫, 写在两块版上.

35:35 He has filled them with skill of heart to do every work of a craftsman and a designer and an embroiderer with the blue and with the purple, with the crimson yarns and with the fine linen and a weaver; they are doers of every kind of craftsmanship and devisers of designs.

Exodus - Chapter 36

36:1 And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”
“比撒列和亚何利亚伯, 并一切心里有智慧的, 就是蒙耶和华赐智慧聪明,叫他知道做圣所各样使用之工的, 都要照耶和华所吩咐的做工. ”

36:2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it.
凡耶和华赐他心里有智慧,而且受感前来做这工的, 摩西把他们和比撒列并亚何利亚伯一同召来.

36:3 And they took from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning.
这些人就从摩西收了以色列人为做圣所并圣所使用之工所拿来的礼物. 百姓每早晨还把甘心献的礼物拿来.

36:4 And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, each from his work that they were doing.
凡做圣所一切工的智慧人各都离开他所做的工,

36:5 And they said to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing more than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”
来对摩西说: “百姓为耶和华吩咐使用之工所拿来的, 富富有余. ”

36:6 And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing.
摩西传命, 他们就在全营中宣告说: “无论男女, 不必再为圣所拿甚么礼物来. ”这样才拦住百姓不再拿礼物来.

36:7 And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
因为他们所有的材料够做一切当做的物, 而且有余.

36:8 And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman.
他们中间, 凡心里有智慧做工的, 用十幅幔子做帐幕. 这幔子是比撒列用撚的细麻和蓝色,紫色,朱红色线制造的, 并用巧匠的手工绣上基路伯.

36:9 The length of the one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measurement was for all the curtains.
每幅幔子长二十八肘, 宽四肘, 都是一样的尺寸.

36:10 And he joined five of the curtains one to another, and five curtains he joined one to another.
他使这五幅幔子幅幅相连, 又使那五幅幔子幅幅相连;

39:43 And Moses saw all the work, and, indeed, they had done it as Yahweh had commanded; so they did, and Moses blessed them.

Exodus - Chapter 40

40:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

40:2 “On the first day of the month, you will set up the tabernacle of the tent of assembly.
“正月初一日, 你要立起帐幕,

40:3 And you will put there the ark of the testimony, and you will cover over the ark with the curtain.

用膏油把帐幕和其中所有的都抹上, 使帐幕和一切器具成圣, 就都成圣.

40:13 And you will clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and you will anoint him, and you will consecrate him, and he will serve as a priest for me.
要给亚伦穿上圣衣, 又膏他, 使他成圣, 可以给我供祭司的职分;

40:14 And you will bring his sons, and you will clothe them with tunics.
又要使他儿子来, 给他们穿上内袍.

40:15 And you will anoint them as you anointed their father, and they will serve as priests for me. And their anointing will be for them to be a lasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

40:16 And Moses did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him; so he did.
摩西这样行, 都是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:17 In the first month of the second year, on the first of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
第二年正月初一日, 帐幕就立起来.

40:18 And Moses raised the tabernacle, and he placed its bases, and he set up its frames, and he placed its bars, and he raised its pillars.
摩西立起帐幕, 安上带卯的座, 立上板, 穿上闩, 立起柱子.

40:19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle; he placed the covering of the tent over it, above it, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
在帐幕以上搭罩棚, 把罩棚的顶盖盖在其上, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:20 And he took and he put the testimony into the ark, and he placed the poles on the ark, and he put the atonement cover on the ark, above it.
又把法版放在柜里, 把杠穿在柜的两旁, 把施恩座安在柜上.

40:21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and he set up the curtain of the screening, and he shielded the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
把柜抬进帐幕, 挂上遮掩柜的幔子, 把法柜遮掩了, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:22 And he put the table in the tent of assembly on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain.
又把桌子安在会幕内, 在帐幕北边, 在幔子外.

40:23 And he arranged on it an arrangement of bread before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
在桌子上将饼陈设在耶和华面前, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:24 And he placed the lampstand in the tent of assembly opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle.
又把灯台安在会幕内, 在帐幕南边, 与桌子相对,

40:25 And he set up the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
在耶和华面前点灯, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:26 And he placed the gold altar in the tent of assembly before the curtain.
把金坛安在会幕内的幔子前,

40:27 And he turned fragrant incense into smoke on it, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
在坛上烧了馨香料做的香, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:28 And he set up the entrance screen for the tabernacle.
又挂上帐幕的门帘.

40:29 And the altar of burnt offering he placed at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of assembly, and he offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
在会幕的帐幕门前, 安设燔祭坛, 把燔祭和素祭献在其上, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:30 And he placed the basin between the tent of assembly and the altar, and he put there water for washing.
把洗濯盆安在会幕和坛的中间, 盆中盛水, 以便洗濯.

40:31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet from it.
摩西和亚伦并亚伦的儿子在这盆里洗手洗脚.

40:32 At their going into the tent of assembly and at their approaching the altar, they washed, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
他们进会幕或就近坛的时候, 便都洗濯, 是照耶和华所吩咐他的.

40:33 And he set up the courtyard all around the tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the screen of the gate of the courtyard, and Moses completed the work.
在帐幕和坛的四围立了院帷, 把院子的门帘挂上. 这样, 摩西就完了工.

40:34 And the cloud covered the tent of assembly, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.
当时, 云彩遮盖会幕, 耶和华的荣光就充满了帐幕.

40:35 And Moses was unable to go into the tent of assembly because the cloud settled on it and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle.
摩西不能进会幕; 因为云彩停在其上, 并且耶和华的荣光充满了帐幕.

40:36 And when the cloud was lifted from the tabernacle, the Israelites set out on all their journeys.
每逢云彩从帐幕收上去, 以色列人就起程前往;

40:37 But if the cloud was not lifted, they did not set out until the day of its being lifted.
云彩若不收上去, 他们就不起程, 直等到云彩收上去.

40:38 For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before the eyes of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
日间, 耶和华的云彩是在帐幕以上; 夜间, 云中有火, 在以色列全家的眼前. 在他们所行的路上都是这样.

按手在赎罪祭牲的头上, 在那宰燔祭牲的地方宰了作赎罪祭.

4:34 The priest shall take some of the sin offering’s blood with his finger, and he shall put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering, and he must pour out all the rest of its blood on the altar’s base.
祭司要用指头蘸些赎罪祭牲的血, 抹在燔祭坛的四角上, 所有的血都要倒在坛的脚那里,

4:35 He must remove all of its fat just as the lamb’s fat from the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice was removed, and the priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar upon Yahweh’s offerings made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him because of his sin that he committed, and he will be forgiven.’ ”
又要把所有的脂油都取下, 正如取平安祭羊羔的脂油一样. 祭司要按献给耶和华火祭的条例, 烧在坛上. 至于所犯的罪, 祭司要为他赎了, 他必蒙赦免. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 5

5:1 “ ‘When a person sins in that he hears the utterance of a curse and he is a witness or he sees or he knows, if he does not make it known, then he shall bear his guilt.
“若有人听见发誓的声音(或译: 若有人听见叫人发誓的声音), 他本是见证, 却不把所看见的,所知道的说出来, 这就是罪; 他要担当他的罪孽.

5:2 Or if a person touches anything unclean, whether an unclean wild animal’s dead body or an unclean domestic animal’s dead body or an unclean swarmer’s dead body, but he is unaware of it, he is unclean and he is guilty.
或是有人摸了不洁的物, 无论是不洁的死兽, 是不洁的死畜, 是不洁的死虫, 他却不知道, 因此成了不洁, 就有了罪.

5:3 Or when he touches human uncleanness, namely any uncleanness of his by which he might become unclean, but he is unaware of it, and he himself finds out, then he will be guilty.
或是他摸了别人的污秽, 无论是染了甚么污秽, 他却不知道, 一知道了就有了罪.

5:4 Or when a person swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips, to do evil or to do good with regard to anything that the person in a sworn oath speaks thoughtlessly, but he is unaware of it, he will be guilty in any of these.
或是有人嘴里冒失发誓, 要行恶, 要行善, 无论人在甚么事上冒失发誓, 他却不知道, 一知道了就要在这其中的一件上有了罪.

5:5 When he becomes guilty in any of these, he shall confess what he has sinned regarding it,
他有了罪的时候, 就要承认所犯的罪,

5:6 and he shall bring his guilt offering to Yahweh for his sin that he has committed: a female from the flock, a ewe-lamb or a she-goat, as a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.
并要因所犯的罪, 把他的赎愆祭牲─就是羊群中的母羊, 或是一只羊羔, 或是一只山羊─牵到耶和华面前为赎罪祭. 至于他的罪, 祭司要为他赎了.

5:7 “ ‘If he cannot afford a sheep, he shall bring as his guilt offering for what he sinned two turtledoves or two young doves for Yahweh, one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering.
“他的力量若不够献一只羊羔, 就要因所犯的罪, 把两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽带到耶和华面前为赎愆祭: 一只作赎罪祭, 一只作燔祭.

5:8 He shall bring them to the priest, and he shall present that which is for the sin offering first, and the priest shall wring its head off at the back of its neck, but he must not sever it,
把这些带到祭司那里, 祭司就要先把那赎罪祭献上, 从鸟的颈项上揪下头来, 只是不可把鸟撕断,

5:9 and he shall spatter some of the sin offering’s blood on the altar’s side, and the leftover blood must be drained out on the altar’s base; it is a sin offering.
也把些赎罪祭牲的血弹在坛的旁边, 剩下的血要流在坛的脚那里; 这是赎罪祭.

5:10 The second bird he must prepare as a burnt offering according to the regulation, and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.
他要照例献第二只为燔祭. 至于他所犯的罪, 祭司要为他赎了, 他必蒙赦免.

5:11 “ ‘But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young doves, then, because he has sinned, he shall bring as his offering a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a sin offering. He must not put oil on it, nor should he put frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.
“他的力量若不够献两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽, 就要因所犯的罪带供物来, 就是细面伊法十分之一为赎罪祭; 不可加上油, 也不可加上乳香, 因为是赎罪祭.

5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take a handful of it for its token portion, and he shall turn it to smoke on the altar in addition to the offerings made by fire to Yahweh; it is a sin offering.
他要把供物带到祭司那里, 祭司要取出自己的一把来作为纪念, 按献给耶和华火祭的条例烧在坛上; 这是赎罪祭.

5:13 Thus the priest shall make atonement for him because of the sin that he has committed in any of these, and he shall be forgiven. It shall be for the priest, like the grain offering.’ ”
至于他在这几件事中所犯的罪, 祭司要为他赎了, 他必蒙赦免. 剩下的面都归与祭司, 和素祭一样. ”

5:14 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

5:15 “When a person displays infidelity and he sins in an unintentional wrong in any of Yahweh’s holy things, then he shall bring his guilt offering to Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock as a guilt offering by your valuation in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel.
“人若在耶和华的圣物上误犯了罪, 有了过犯, 就要照你所估的, 按圣所的舍客勒拿银子, 将赎愆祭牲─就是羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵羊─牵到耶和华面前为赎愆祭;

5:16 And he shall make restitution for what he sinned because of a holy thing and shall add one-fifth of its value onto it and shall give it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
并且他因在圣物上的差错要偿还, 另外加五分之一, 都给祭司. 祭司要用赎愆祭的公绵羊为他赎罪, 他必蒙赦免.

5:17 “If a person when he sins violates one from all of Yahweh’s commands that should not be violated, but he did not know, then he is guilty and he shall bear his guilt.
“若有人犯罪, 行了耶和华所吩咐不可行的甚么事, 他虽然不知道, 还是有了罪, 就要担当他的罪孽;

5:18 He shall bring to the priest a ram without defect from the flock as a guilt offering by your valuation, and the priest shall make atonement for him because of his unintentional wrong (although he himself did not know), and he will be forgiven.
也要照你所估定的价, 从羊群中牵一只没有残疾的公绵羊来, 给祭司作赎愆祭. 至于他误行的那错事, 祭司要为他赎罪, 他必蒙赦免.

5:19 It is a guilt offering; he certainly was guilty before Yahweh.”
这是赎愆祭, 因他在耶和华面前实在有了罪. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 6

6:1  Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

6:2 “When a person displays infidelity against Yahweh and he deceives his fellow citizen regarding something entrusted or a pledge or stealing or he exploits his fellow citizen,
“若有人犯罪, 干犯耶和华, 在邻舍交付他的物上, 或是在交易上行了诡诈, 或是抢夺人的财物, 或是欺压邻舍,

6:3 or he finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely in regard to any one of these things by which a person might commit sin,
或是在捡了遗失的物上行了诡诈, 说谎起誓, 在这一切的事上犯了甚么罪;

6:4 and when he sins and is guilty, then he shall bring back the things he had stolen or what he had extorted or something with which he had been entrusted or the lost property that he had found,
他既犯了罪, 有了过犯, 就要归还他所抢夺的, 或是因欺压所得的, 或是人交付他的, 或是人遗失他所捡的物,

6:5 or regarding anything about which he has sworn falsely, then he shall repay it according to its value and shall add one-fifth of its value to it—he must give it to whom it belongs on the day of his guilt offering.
或是他因甚么物起了假誓, 就要如数归还, 另外加上五分之一, 在查出他有罪的日子要交还本主.

6:6 And he must bring as his guilt offering to Yahweh a ram without defect from the flock by your valuation as a guilt offering to the priest,
也要照你所估定的价, 把赎愆祭牲─就是羊群中一只没有残疾的公绵羊─牵到耶和华面前, 给祭司为赎愆祭.

6:7 and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh, and he shall be forgiven anything from all that he might do by which he might incur guilt.”
祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪; 他无论行了甚么事, 使他有了罪, 都必蒙赦免. ”

6:8 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

6:9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the burnt offering: The burnt offering must remain on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the altar’s fire must be kept burning on it.
“你要吩咐亚伦和他的子孙说, 燔祭的条例乃是这样: 燔祭要放在坛的柴上, 从晚上到天亮, 坛上的火要常常烧着.

6:10 And the priest shall put on his linen robe, and he must put his linen undergarments on his body, and he shall take away the fatty ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar, and he shall place them beside the altar.
祭司要穿上细麻布衣服, 又要把细麻布裤子穿在身上, 把坛上所烧的燔祭灰收起来, 倒在坛的旁边;

6:11 And he shall take off his garments and put on other garments, and he shall bring out the fatty ashes outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place,
随后要脱去这衣服, 穿上别的衣服, 把灰拿到营外洁净之处.

6:12 but the fire on the altar must be kept burning on it; it must not be quenched. And the priest must burn wood every morning on it, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it, and he shall turn into smoke the fat portions of the fellowship offerings on it.
坛上的火要在其上常常烧着, 不可熄灭. 祭司要每日早晨在上面烧柴, 并要把燔祭摆在坛上, 在其上烧平安祭牲的脂油.

6:13 A perpetual fire must be kept burning on the altar; it must not be quenched.
在坛上必有常常烧着的火, 不可熄灭. ”

6:14 “ ‘And this is the regulation of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons shall present it before Yahweh in front of the altar,
“素祭的条例乃是这样: 亚伦的子孙要在坛前把这祭献在耶和华面前.

6:15 and he in his fist shall take away from it some of the grain offering’s finely milled flour, and some of its oil and all of the frankincense that is on the grain offering, and he shall turn into smoke its token portion on the altar as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh.
祭司要从其中─就是从素祭的细面中─取出自己的一把, 又要取些油和素祭上所有的乳香, 烧在坛上, 奉给耶和华为馨香素祭的纪念.

6:16 And Aaron and his sons must eat the remainder of it; they must eat it as unleavened bread in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard they must eat it.
所剩下的, 亚伦和他子孙要吃, 必在圣处不带酵而吃, 要在会幕的院子里吃.

6:17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their share from my offerings made by fire. It is a most holy thing, like the sin offering and like the guilt offering.
烤的时候不可搀酵. 这是从所献给我的火祭中赐给他们的分, 是至圣的, 和赎罪祭并赎愆祭一样.

6:18 Every male among Aaron’s sons may eat it as a lasting rule among your generations from the offerings made by fire belonging to Yahweh. Anything that touches them will become holy.’ ”
凡献给耶和华的火祭, 亚伦子孙中的男丁都要吃这一分, 直到万代, 作他们永得的分. 摸这些祭物的, 都要成为圣. ”

6:19 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

6:20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons that they shall present to Yahweh on the day of his being anointed: a tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour as a perpetual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
“当亚伦受膏的日子, 他和他子孙所要献给耶和华的供物, 就是细面伊法十分之一, 为常献的素祭: 早晨一半, 晚上一半.

6:21 It must be made in oil on a flat baking pan; you must bring it well-mixed; you must present pieces of a grain offering’s baked goods as an appeasing fragrance to Yahweh.
要在铁鏊上用油调和做成, 调匀了, 你就拿进来; 烤好了分成块子, 献给耶和华为馨香的素祭.

6:22 And the anointed priest taking his place from among his sons must do it. As a lasting rule, it must be turned into smoke totally for Yahweh.
亚伦的子孙中, 接续他为受膏的祭司, 要把这素祭献上, 要全烧给耶和华. 这是永远的定例.

6:23 And every grain offering of a priest must be a whole burnt offering; it must not be eaten.”
祭司的素祭都要烧了, 却不可吃. ”

6:24 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

6:25 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the regulation of the sin offering: In the place where the sin offering is slaughtered, the sin offering must be slaughtered before Yahweh; it is a most holy thing.
“你对亚伦和他的子孙说, 赎罪祭的条例乃是这样: 要在耶和华面前,宰燔祭牲的地方宰赎罪祭牲; 这是至圣的.

6:26 The priest who offers the sin offering must eat it in a holy place—in the tent of assembly’s courtyard.
为赎罪献这祭的祭司要吃, 要在圣处, 就是在会幕的院子里吃.

6:27 Anything that touches its flesh will become holy, and when some of its blood spatters on a garment, what was spattered on it you shall wash in a holy place.
凡摸这祭肉的要成为圣; 这祭牲的血若弹在甚么衣服上, 所弹的那一件要在圣处洗净.

6:28 And a clay vessel in which it was boiled must be broken, but if it was boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be thoroughly scoured and rinsed with water.
惟有煮祭物的瓦器要打碎; 若是煮在铜器里, 这铜器要擦磨, 在水中涮净.

6:29 Any male among the priests may eat it; it is a most holy thing.
凡祭司中的男丁都可以吃; 这是至圣的.

6:30 But any sin offering from which some of its blood is brought to the tent of assembly to make atonement in the sanctuary must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.’ ”
凡赎罪祭, 若将血带进会幕在圣所赎罪, 那肉都不可吃, 必用火焚烧. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 7

7:1 “ ‘And this is the regulation of the guilt offering; it is a most holy thing.
“赎愆祭的条例乃是如此: 这祭是至圣的.

7:2 In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, they must slaughter the guilt offering, and he must sprinkle its blood upon the altar all around.
人在那里宰燔祭牲, 也要在那里宰赎愆祭牲; 其血, 祭司要洒在坛的周围.

7:3 And he must present all of its fat: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts,
又要将肥尾巴和盖脏的脂油,

7:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.
两个腰子和腰子上的脂油, 就是靠腰两旁的脂油, 并肝上的网子和腰子, 一概取下.

7:5 And the priest shall turn it into smoke it on the altar as a food offering made by fire for Yahweh; it is a guilt offering.
祭司要在坛上焚烧, 为献给耶和华的火祭, 是赎愆祭.

7:6 Every male among the priests may eat it; it must be eaten in a holy place; it is a most holy thing.
祭司中的男丁都可以吃这祭物; 要在圣处吃, 是至圣的.

7:7 The instruction is the same for the guilt offering as for the sin offering; it belongs to the priest, who makes atonement with it.
赎罪祭怎样, 赎愆祭也是怎样, 两个祭是一个条例. 献赎愆祭赎罪的祭司要得这祭物.

7:8 “ ‘And the priest who presents a person’s burnt offering, to that priest belongs the skin of the burnt offering that he presented.
献燔祭的祭司, 无论为谁奉献, 要亲自得他所献那燔祭牲的皮.

7:9 And every grain offering that is baked in the oven and all that is prepared in a cooking pan or on a flat baking pan belongs to the priest who presented it.
凡在炉中烤的素祭和煎盘中做的, 并铁鏊上做的, 都要归那献祭的祭司.

7:10 And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, shall be for all of Aaron’s sons equally.
凡素祭, 无论是油调和的是干的, 都要归亚伦的子孙, 大家均分. ”

7:11 “ ‘And this is the regulation of the fellowship offerings that he must present to Yahweh:
“人献与耶和华平安祭的条例乃是这样:

7:12 If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice he shall present ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil and unleavened bread wafers smeared with oil and well-mixed ring-shaped bread cakes of finely milled flour mixed with oil.
他若为感谢献上, 就要用调油的无酵饼和抹油的无酵薄饼, 并用油调匀细面做的饼, 与感谢祭一同献上.

7:13 In addition to ring-shaped cakes of bread with yeast, he must present his grain offering together with his sacrifice of thanksgiving peace offerings.
要用有酵的饼和为感谢献的平安祭, 与供物一同献上.

7:14 And he shall present one of each kind of grain offering as a contribution for Yahweh; it belongs to the priest who sprinkles the fellowship offerings’ blood.
从各样的供物中, 他要把一个饼献给耶和华为举祭, 是要归给洒平安祭牲血的祭司.

7:15 And the meat of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving fellowship offerings must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not leave it until morning.
为感谢献平安祭牲的肉, 要在献的日子吃, 一点不可留到早晨.

7:16 “ ‘But if his sacrifice is for a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be eaten on the day of his presenting his sacrifice, and on the next day the remainder from it may be eaten,
若所献的是为还愿, 或是甘心献的, 必在献祭的日子吃, 所剩下的第二天也可以吃.

7:17 but the remainder from the sacrifice’s meat must be burned up in the fire on the third day.
但所剩下的祭肉, 到第三天要用火焚烧;

7:18 And if indeed some of the meat of his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be considered of benefit for the one who presented it—it shall be unclean meat, and the person who eats it shall bear his guilt.
第三天若吃了平安祭的肉, 这祭必不蒙悦纳, 人所献的也不算为祭, 反为可憎嫌的, 吃这祭肉的, 就必担当他的罪孽.

7:19 And the meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire, and as for the clean meat, anyone who is clean may eat the meat.
“挨了污秽物的肉就不可吃, 要用火焚烧. 至于平安祭的肉, 凡洁净的人都要吃;

7:20 And the person who eats meat from the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, and whose uncleanness is upon him—that person shall be cut off from his people.
只是献与耶和华平安祭的肉, 人若不洁净而吃了, 这人必从民中剪除.

7:21 And when a person touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and he eats from the meat of the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, then that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
有人摸了甚么不洁净的物, 或是人的不洁净, 或是不洁净的牲畜, 或是不洁可憎之物, 吃了献与耶和华平安祭的肉, 这人必从民中剪除. ”

7:22 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

7:23 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘You must not eat any fat of ox, or sheep, or goat;
“你晓谕以色列人说: 牛的脂油,绵羊的脂油,山羊的脂油, 你们都不可吃.

7:24 and a dead body’s fat or mangled carcass’s fat may be used for any purpose, but you certainly must not eat it.
自死的和被野兽撕裂的, 那脂油可以做别的使用, 只是你们万不可吃.

7:25 When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then that person who ate shall be cut off from his people.
无论何人吃了献给耶和华当火祭牲畜的脂油, 那人必从民中剪除.

7:26 And in any of your dwellings, you must not eat any blood belonging to birds or domestic animals.
在你们一切的住处, 无论是雀鸟的血是野兽的血, 你们都不可吃.

7:27 Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
无论是谁吃血, 那人必从民中剪除. ”

7:28 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

7:29 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘The one who presents his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 献平安祭给耶和华的, 要从平安祭中取些来奉给耶和华.

7:30 His own hands must bring Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh,
他亲手献给耶和华的火祭, 就是脂油和胸, 要带来, 好把胸在耶和华面前作摇祭, 摇一摇.

7:31 and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his sons.
祭司要把脂油在坛上焚烧, 但胸要归亚伦和他的子孙.

7:32 And the right upper thigh you must give as a contribution for the priest from your fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.
你们要从平安祭中把右腿作举祭, 奉给祭司.

7:33 As for the one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh shall belong to him as his share,
亚伦子孙中, 献平安祭牲血和脂油的, 要得这右腿为分;

7:34 because I have taken the wave offering’s breast section and the contribution offering’s upper thigh from the Israelites out of their fellowship offerings’ sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons from the Israelites as a lasting rule.’ ”
因为我从以色列人的平安祭中, 取了这摇的胸和举的腿给祭司亚伦和他子孙, 作他们从以色列人中所永得的分. ”

7:35 This is Aaron’s allotted portion and his sons’ allotted portion from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire when he brought them forward to serve as priests for Yahweh.
这是从耶和华火祭中, 作亚伦受膏的分和他子孙受膏的分, 正在摩西(原文是他)叫他们前来给耶和华供祭司职分的日子,

7:36 This is what Yahweh commanded to give them from the Israelites on the day of his anointing them; it is a lasting statute for their generations.
就是在摩西(原文是他)膏他们的日子, 耶和华吩咐以色列人给他们的. 这是他们世世代代永得的分.

7:37 This is the regulation for the burnt offering, for the grain offering and for the sin offering and for the guilt offering and for the consecration offering and for the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice,
这就是燔祭,素祭,赎罪祭,赎愆祭, 和平安祭的条例, 并承接圣职的礼,

7:38 which Yahweh commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day of his commanding the Israelites to present their offerings to Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.
都是耶和华在西奈山所吩咐摩西的, 就是他在西奈旷野吩咐以色列人献供物给耶和华之日所说的.

Leviticus - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering and the two rams and the basket of the unleavened bread,
“你将亚伦和他儿子一同带来, 并将圣衣,膏油, 与赎罪祭的一只公牛,两只公绵羊,一筐无酵饼都带来,

8:3 and summon all of the community to the entrance to the tent of assembly.”
又招聚会众到会幕门口. ”

8:4 So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and the community gathered by the entrance to the tent of assembly.
摩西就照耶和华所吩咐的行了; 于是会众聚集在会幕门口.

8:5 Then Moses said to the community, “This is the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”
摩西告诉会众说: “这就是耶和华所吩咐当行的事. ”

8:6 So Moses brought Aaron and his sons near, and he washed them with water.
摩西带了亚伦和他儿子来, 用水洗了他们.

8:7 Then he put the tunic on him and tied the sash around him; then he clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; then he tied the ephod’s waistband around him and fastened the ephod to him with it.
给亚伦穿上内袍, 束上腰带, 穿上外袍, 又加上以弗得, 用其上巧工织的带子把以弗得系在他身上,

8:8 Then he placed the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and the Thummim into the breastpiece;
又给他戴上胸牌, 把乌陵和土明放在胸牌内,

8:9 and he placed the turban on his head, and on the front of the turban he placed the gold rosette, the holy diadem, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
把冠冕戴在他头上, 在冠冕的前面钉上金牌, 就是圣冠, 都是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

8:10 Then Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and he consecrated them.
摩西用膏油抹帐幕和其中所有的, 使它成圣;

8:11 And he spattered part of it on the altar seven times—thus he anointed the altar and all of its utensils, and the basin and its stand, to consecrate them.
又用膏油在坛上弹了七次, 又抹了坛和坛的一切器皿, 并洗濯盆和盆座, 使它成圣;

8:12 Then he poured out part of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head—thus he anointed him in order to consecrate him.
又把膏油倒在亚伦的头上膏他, 使他成圣.

8:13 Then Moses brought Aaron’s sons near and clothed them with tunics and tied a sash around each one, and he bound headbands on them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
摩西带了亚伦的儿子来, 给他们穿上内袍, 束上腰带, 包上裹头巾, 都是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

8:14 Then he brought forth the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering,
他牵了赎罪祭的公牛来, 亚伦和他儿子按手在赎罪祭公牛的头上,

8:15 and he slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood and put it with his finger on the altar’s horns all around and purified the altar; then he poured the blood out on the altar’s base—thus he consecrated it in order to make atonement for it.
就宰了公牛. 摩西用指头蘸血, 抹在坛上四角的周围, 使坛洁净, 把血倒在坛的脚那里, 使坛成圣, 坛就洁净了;

8:16 Then he took all the fat that was on the inner parts and the lobe on the liver and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses turned them into smoke on the altar,
又取脏上所有的脂油和肝上的网子, 并两个腰子与腰子上的脂油, 都烧在坛上;

8:17 but he burned the bull and its skin and its meat and its offal in the fire outside the camp, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
惟有公牛, 连皮带肉并粪, 用火烧在营外, 都是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

8:18 Then he brought the ram of the burnt offering near, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head,
他奉上燔祭的公绵羊; 亚伦和他儿子按手在羊的头上,

8:19 and he slaughtered it. Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
就宰了公羊. 摩西把血洒在坛的周围,

8:20 Then he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses turned into smoke the head and the pieces and the suet,
把羊切成块子, 把头和肉块并脂油都烧了.

8:21 but he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones with water, and Moses turned into smoke all of the ram on the altar; it was a burnt offering as an appeasing fragrance, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
用水洗了脏腑和腿, 就把全羊烧在坛上为馨香的燔祭, 是献给耶和华的火祭, 都是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

8:22 Then he brought the second ram near, the ram of the consecration, and Aaron and his sons placed their hands on the ram’s head,
他又奉上第二只公绵羊, 就是承接圣职之礼的羊; 亚伦和他儿子按手在羊的头上,

8:23 and he slaughtered it. Then Moses took some of its blood and put it on Aaron’s right ear lobe and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe.
就宰了羊. 摩西把些血抹在亚伦的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上, 并右脚的大拇指上,

8:24 Then he brought Aaron’s sons near, and Moses put some of the blood on their right ear lobe and on their right hand’s thumb and on their right foot’s big toe, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
又带了亚伦的儿子来, 把些血抹在他们的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上, 并右脚的大拇指上, 又把血洒在坛的周围.

8:25 Then he took the fat and the fat tail and all of the fat that was on the inner parts and the lobe of the liver and the two kidneys and their fat and the right upper thigh;
取脂油和肥尾巴, 并脏上一切的脂油与肝上的网子, 两个腰子和腰子上的脂油, 并右腿,

8:26 and from the basket of the unleavened bread that was before Yahweh he took one ring-shaped unleavened bread and one ring-shaped bread with oil and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat parts and on the right upper thigh.
再从耶和华面前,盛无酵饼的筐子里取出一个无酵饼, 一个油饼, 一个薄饼, 都放在脂油和右腿上,

8:27 Then he put all of these on Aaron’s palms and on his sons’ palms, and he waved them as a wave offering before Yahweh.
把这一切放在亚伦的手上和他儿子的手上作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇.

8:28 Then Moses took them from upon their palms, and he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar; they were a consecration offering as an appeasing fragrance—it was an offering made by fire for Yahweh.
摩西从他们的手上拿下来, 烧在坛上的燔祭上, 都是为承接圣职献给耶和华馨香的火祭.

8:29 Then Moses took the breast section, and he waved it as a wave offering before Yahweh from the ram of the consecration offering; it was Moses’ share, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
摩西拿羊的胸作为摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇, 是承接圣职之礼, 归摩西的分, 都是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

8:30 Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar, and he spattered them on Aaron, on his garments, and on Aaron’s sons and on his sons’ garments with him—thus he consecrated Aaron, his garments, and his sons and his sons’ garments with him.
摩西取点膏油和坛上的血, 弹在亚伦和他的衣服上, 并他儿子和他儿子的衣服上, 使他和他们的衣服一同成圣.

8:31 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the meat in the entrance to the tent of assembly, and there you must eat it and the bread that is in the basket of the consecration offering, just as I have commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons must eat it,’
摩西对亚伦和他儿子说: “把肉煮在会幕门口, 在那里吃, 又吃承接圣职筐子里的饼, 按我所吩咐的说(或译: 按所吩咐我的说): ‘这是亚伦和他儿子要吃的. ’

8:32 but the remainder of the meat and the bread you must burn in the fire.
剩下的肉和饼, 你们要用火焚烧.

8:33 And you must not go out from the entrance to the tent of assembly for seven days, until the day of fulfilling the days of your consecration, because it will take seven days to ordain you.
你们七天不可出会幕的门, 等到你们承接圣职的日子满了, 因为主叫你们七天承接圣职.

8:34 Just as was done on this day, Yahweh commanded to be done in order to make atonement for you.
像今天所行的都是耶和华吩咐行的, 为你们赎罪.

8:35 And you must stay at the entrance to the tent of assembly day and night for seven days, and you shall keep the obligation from Yahweh, so you might not die, for thus I have been commanded.”
七天你们要昼夜住在会幕门口, 遵守耶和华的吩咐, 免得你们死亡, 因为所吩咐我的就是这样. ”

8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all the things that Yahweh had commanded through Moses.
于是亚伦和他儿子行了耶和华藉著摩西所吩咐的一切事.

Leviticus - Chapter 9

9:1 Then on the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron and his sons and Israel’s elders,
到了第八天, 摩西召了亚伦和他儿子, 并以色列的众长老来,

9:2 and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without defect, and present them before Yahweh.
对亚伦说: “你当取牛群中的一只公牛犊作赎罪祭, 一只公绵羊作燔祭, 都要没有残疾的, 献在耶和华面前.

9:3 Then you must speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Take a he-goat as a sin offering and a bull calf and a male sheep, yearlings without defect, as a burnt offering,
你也要对以色列人说: ‘你们当取一只公山羊作赎罪祭, 又取一只牛犊和一只绵羊羔, 都要一岁,没有残疾的, 作燔祭,

9:4 and an ox and a ram as fellowship offerings to sacrifice before Yahweh, and a grain offering mixed with oil, because today Yahweh will appear to you.”
又取一只公牛, 一只公绵羊作平安祭, 献在耶和华面前, 并取调油的素祭, 因为今天耶和华要向你们显现. ’

9:5 So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of assembly, and the whole community presented themselves, and they stood before Yahweh.
于是他们把摩西所吩咐的, 带到会幕前; 全会众都近前来, 站在耶和华面前.

9:6 Then Moses said, “This is the word that Yahweh commanded you to do so that the glory of Yahweh might appear to you.”
摩西说: “这是耶和华吩咐你们所当行的; 耶和华的荣光就要向你们显现. ”

9:7 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people. And sacrifice the people’s offering and make atonement for them, just as Yahweh has commanded.”
摩西对亚伦说: “你就近坛前, 献你的赎罪祭和燔祭, 为自己与百姓赎罪, 又献上百姓的供物, 为他们赎罪, 都照耶和华所吩咐的. ”

9:8 Then Aaron approached the altar, and he slaughtered the bull calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
于是, 亚伦就近坛前, 宰了为自己作赎罪祭的牛犊.

9:9 Then Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and he put it on the altar’s horns, and he poured out the blood on the altar’s base.
亚伦的儿子把血奉给他, 他就把指头蘸在血中, 抹在坛的四角上, 又把血倒在坛脚那里.

9:10 And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe from the sin offering’s liver he turned into smoke on the altar, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses,
惟有赎罪祭的脂油和腰子, 并肝上取的网子, 都烧在坛上, 是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的;

9:11 but the meat and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
又用火将肉和皮烧在营外.

9:12 Then he slaughtered the burnt offering, and Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around;
亚伦宰了燔祭牲, 他儿子把血递给他, 他就洒在坛的周围,

9:13 and they brought the burnt offering to him by its pieces, as well as the head, and he turned them into smoke on the altar;
又把燔祭一块一块地,连头递给他, 他都烧在坛上;

9:14 and he washed the inner parts and the lower leg bones, then he turned them into smoke upon the burnt offering on the altar.
又洗了脏腑和腿, 烧在坛上的燔祭上.

9:15 Then he presented the people’s offering, and he took the goat of the sin offering, which was for the people, and he slaughtered it and offered it as a sin offering like the first one.
他奉上百姓的供物, 把那给百姓作赎罪祭的公山羊宰了, 为罪献上, 和先献的一样;

9:16 Then he presented the burnt offering, and he sacrificed it according to the regulation.
也奉上燔祭, 照例而献.

9:17 Then he presented the grain offering, and he filled his palm with some of it, and he turned it into smoke on the altar besides the morning’s burnt offering.
他又奉上素祭, 从其中取一满把, 烧在坛上; 这是在早晨的燔祭以外.

9:18 Then he slaughtered the ox and the ram, the fellowship offerings that are for the people, and Aaron’s sons brought the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around.
亚伦宰了那给百姓作平安祭的公牛和公绵羊. 他儿子把血递给他, 他就洒在坛的周围;

9:19 And as for the fat portions from the ox and from the ram (the fat tail and the layer of fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver),
又把公牛和公绵羊的脂油,肥尾巴, 并盖脏的脂油与腰子, 和肝上的网子, 都递给他;

9:20 they placed the fat portions on the breast sections, and he turned the fat portions into smoke on the altar.
把脂油放在胸上, 他就把脂油烧在坛上.

9:21 Then Aaron waved the breast sections and the right upper thigh as a wave offering before Yahweh, just as Moses had commanded.
胸和右腿, 亚伦当作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇, 都是照摩西所吩咐的.

9:22 Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, and he blessed them, and he came down after sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.
亚伦向百姓举手, 为他们祝福. 他献了赎罪祭,燔祭,平安祭就下来了.

9:23 Then Moses and Aaron entered the tent of assembly. When they came out, they blessed the people, and Yahweh’s glory appeared to all the people.
摩西,亚伦进入会幕, 又出来为百姓祝福, 耶和华的荣光就向众民显现.

9:24 Then a fire went out from before Yahweh, and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And all the people saw it, so they shouted for joy, and they fell on their faces.
有火从耶和华面前出来, 在坛上烧尽燔祭和脂油; 众民一见, 就都欢呼, 俯伏在地.

Leviticus - Chapter 10

10:1 And Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, and they put fire in them and placed incense on it; then they presented before Yahweh illegitimate fire, which he had not commanded them.
亚伦的儿子拿答,亚比户各拿自己的香炉, 盛上火, 加上香, 在耶和华面前献上凡火, 是耶和华没有吩咐他们的,

10:2 So fire went out from before Yahweh, and it consumed them so that they died before Yahweh.
就有火从耶和华面前出来, 把他们烧灭, 他们就死在耶和华面前.

10:3 Therefore Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of all the people I will display my glory.’ ” So Aaron was silent.
于是摩西对亚伦说: “这就是耶和华所说: ‘我在亲近我的人中要显为圣; 在众民面前, 我要得荣耀. ’”亚伦就默默不言.

10:4 Then Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and he said to them, “Come forward. Carry your brothers from the front of the sanctuary to outside the camp.”
摩西召了亚伦叔父乌薛的儿子米沙利,以利撒反来, 对他们说: “上前来, 把你们的亲属从圣所前抬到营外. ”

10:5 So they came forward, and they carried them outside the camp in their tunics, just as Moses had ordered.
于是二人上前来, 把他们穿着袍子抬到营外, 是照摩西所吩咐的.

10:6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “You must not let your hair hang loosely, and you must not tear your garments, so that you will not die and he will be angry with all the community. But your brothers, all the house of Israel, may weep because of the burning that Yahweh caused,
摩西对亚伦和他儿子以利亚撒,以他玛说: “不可蓬头散发, 也不可撕裂衣裳, 免得你们死亡, 又免得耶和华向会众发怒; 只要你们的弟兄以色列全家为耶和华所发的火哀哭.

10:7 but you must not go out from the entrance to the tent of assembly lest you die, because Yahweh’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did according to Moses’ word.
你们也不可出会幕的门, 恐怕你们死亡, 因为耶和华的膏油在你们的身上. ”他们就照摩西的话行了.

10:8 Then Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕亚伦说:

10:9 “You and your sons with you may not drink wine or strong drink when you come to the tent of assembly, so that you will not die—it is a lasting statute for your generations—
“你和你儿子进会幕的时候, 清酒,浓酒都不可喝, 免得你们死亡; 这要作你们世世代代永远的定例.

10:10 and to distinguish between the holy and the unholy, as well as between the unclean and the clean,
使你们可以将圣的,俗的, 洁净的,不洁净的, 分别出来;

10:11 and to teach the Israelites all the rules that Yahweh has spoken to them through Moses.”
又使你们可以将耶和华藉摩西晓谕以色列人的一切律例教训他们. ”

10:12 Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “As for the remaining parts, take the remainder of the grain offering from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire and eat it, the unleavened bread, beside the altar, because it is a most holy thing.
摩西对亚伦和他剩下的儿子以利亚撒,以他玛说: “你们献给耶和华火祭中所剩的素祭, 要在坛旁不带酵而吃, 因为是至圣的.

10:13 And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire, for so I have been commanded.
你们要在圣处吃; 因为在献给耶和华的火祭中, 这是你的分和你儿子的分; 所吩咐我的本是这样.

10:14 And the wave offering’s breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons’ allotted portion from the sacrifices of the Israelites’ fellowship offerings.
所摇的胸, 所举的腿, 你们要在洁净地方吃. 你和你的儿女都要同吃; 因为这些是从以色列人平安祭中给你, 当你的分和你儿子的分.

10:15 They must bring the thigh of the contribution offering and the breast section of the wave offering in addition to the offerings made by fire, consisting of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering before Yahweh; and it will be for you and for your sons with you as a lasting rule, just as Yahweh had commanded.”
所举的腿, 所摇的胸, 他们要与火祭的脂油一同带来当摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇; 这要归你和你儿子, 当作永得的分, 都是照耶和华所吩咐的. ”

10:16 Then Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So he was angry with Aaron’s remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,
当下摩西急切地寻找作赎罪祭的公山羊, 谁知已经焚烧了, 便向亚伦剩下的儿子以利亚撒,以他玛发怒, 说:

10:17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering on the sanctuary’s site, because it is a most holy thing? And he gave it to you to remove the community’s guilt, to make atonement for them before Yahweh.
“这赎罪祭既是至圣的, 主又给了你们, 为要你们担当会众的罪孽, 在耶和华面前为他们赎罪, 你们为何没有在圣所吃呢?

10:18 Look, its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary. Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
看哪, 这祭牲的血并没有拿到圣所里去, 你们本当照我所吩咐的, 在圣所里吃这祭肉. ”

10:19 So Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh, and things such as these have happened to me, and if I were to eat a sin offering today, would it have been good in Yahweh’s eyes?”
亚伦对摩西说: “今天他们在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭, 我又遇见这样的灾, 若今天吃了赎罪祭, 耶和华岂能看为美呢? ”

10:20 When Moses heard, it was good in his eyes.
摩西听见这话, 便以为美.

Leviticus - Chapter 11

11:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
耶和华对摩西,亚伦说:

11:2 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘These are the animals that you may eat from all the animals that are on the land:
“你们晓谕以色列人说, 在地上一切走兽中可吃的乃是这些:

11:3 Any among the animals that has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in the hoof, such you may eat.
凡蹄分两瓣,倒嚼的走兽, 你们都可以吃.

11:4 However, these you may not eat from those that chew the cud and from those that have a divided hoof: the camel, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you;
但那倒嚼或分蹄之中不可吃的乃是: 骆驼─因为倒嚼不分蹄, 就与你们不洁净;

11:5 and the coney, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you;
沙番─因为倒嚼不分蹄, 就与你们不洁净;

11:6 and the hare, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you;
兔子─因为倒嚼不分蹄, 就与你们不洁净;

11:7 and the pig, because it has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in the hoof but it does not chew cud—it is unclean for you.
猪─因为蹄分两瓣, 却不倒嚼, 就与你们不洁净.

11:8 You must not eat from their meat, and you must not touch their dead body—they are unclean for you.
这些兽的肉, 你们不可吃; 死的, 你们不可摸, 都与你们不洁净.

11:9 “ ‘These you may eat from all that are in the water: any in the water that has a fin and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams—such you may eat.
“水中可吃的乃是这些: 凡在水里,海里,河里,有翅有鳞的, 都可以吃.

11:10 But any that does not have a fin and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, among all the water’s swarmers among all the living creatures that are in the water—they are a detestable thing to you.
凡在海里,河里, 并一切水里游动的活物, 无翅无鳞的, 你们都当以为可憎.

11:11 And they shall be detestable to you; you must not eat from their meat, and you must detest their dead body.
这些无翅无鳞,以为可憎的, 你们不可吃牠的肉; 死的也当以为可憎.

11:12 Any that does not have a fin and scales in the water—it is a detestable thing to you.
凡水里无翅无鳞的, 你们都当以为可憎.

11:13 “ ‘And these you must detest from the birds; they must not be eaten—they are detestable: the eagle and the vulture and the short-toed eagle,
“雀鸟中你们当以为可憎,不可吃的乃是: 雕,狗头雕,红头雕,

11:14 and the red kite and the black kite according to its kind,
鹞鹰,小鹰与其类;

11:15 every crow according to its kind,
乌鸦与其类;

11:16 and the ostrich and the short-eared owl and the seagull and the hawk according to its kind,
鸵鸟,夜鹰,鱼鹰,鹰与其类;

11:17 and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl,
鸮鸟,鸬鹚,猫头鹰,

11:18 and the barn owl and the desert owl and the carrion vulture,
角鸱,鹈鹕,秃雕,

11:19 and the stork, the heron according to its kind and the hoopoe and the bat.
鹳,鹭鸶与其类; 戴鵀与蝙蝠.

11:20 “ ‘Any winged insect that walks on all fours is detestable to you.
“凡有翅膀用四足爬行的物, 你们都当以为可憎.

11:21 Only this may you eat from any of the winged insects that walk on all fours—that which has jointed legs above its feet for leaping upon the land.
只是有翅膀用四足爬行的物中, 有足有腿, 在地上蹦跳的, 你们还可以吃.

11:22 From these you may eat the locust according to its kind and the bald locust according to its kind and the cricket according to its kind and the grasshopper according to its kind.
其中有蝗虫,蚂蚱,蟋蟀与其类; 蚱蜢与其类; 这些你们都可以吃.

11:23 But any other winged insect that has four legs is detestable to you.
但是有翅膀有四足的爬物, 你们都当以为可憎.

11:24 And by these you shall become unclean—anyone who touches their dead body shall become unclean until the evening,
“这些都能使你们不洁净. 凡摸了死的, 必不洁净到晚上.

11:25 and anyone who carries their dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening.
凡拿了死的, 必不洁净到晚上, 并要洗衣服.

11:26 “ ‘With regard to any animal that has a divided hoof but does not split the hoof, or does not have a cud for chewing—they are unclean for you; anyone who touches them shall become unclean.
凡走兽分蹄不成两瓣,也不倒嚼的, 是与你们不洁净; 凡摸了的就不洁净.

11:27 And anything that walks upon its paws among any of the animals that walks on all fours—they are unclean for you; anyone who touches their dead body shall become unclean until the evening,
凡四足的走兽, 用掌行走的, 是与你们不洁净; 摸其尸的, 必不洁净到晚上.

11:28 and the one who carries their dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening—they are unclean for you.
拿其尸的, 必不洁净到晚上, 并要洗衣服. 这些是与你们不洁净的.

11:29 “ ‘And these are the unclean for you among the swarmers that swarm on the land: the weasel and the mouse and the thorn-tailed lizard according to its kind,
“地上爬物与你们不洁净的乃是这些: 鼬鼠,鼫鼠,蜥蜴与其类;

11:30 and the gecko and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand lizard and the chameleon.
壁虎,龙子,守宫,蛇医,蝘蜓.

11:31 These are the unclean for you among all the swarmers; anyone who touches them at their death shall become unclean until the evening.
这些爬物都是与你们不洁净的. 在牠死了以后, 凡摸了的, 必不洁净到晚上.

11:32 And anything on which one of them falls at their death shall become unclean: any object of wood or garment or skin or sackcloth—any object that has performed work—must be placed in water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, and then it shall be clean.
其中死了的, 掉在甚么东西上, 这东西就不洁净, 无论是木器,衣服,皮子,口袋, 不拘是做甚么工用的器皿, 须要放在水中, 必不洁净到晚上, 到晚上才洁净了.

11:33 And any clay vessel into which it falls shall become unclean, and you must break it.
若有死了掉在瓦器里的, 其中不拘有甚么, 就不洁净, 你们要把这瓦器打破了.

11:34 Any of the food that could be eaten on which water from such a vessel comes shall become unclean, and any liquid that could be drunk in any such vessel shall become unclean.
其中一切可吃的食物, 沾水的就不洁净, 并且那样器皿中一切可喝的, 也必不洁净.

11:35 And anything on which one of their dead bodies falls shall become unclean: an oven or a stove must be broken—they are unclean and shall be unclean for you.
其中已死的, 若有一点掉在甚么物件上, 那物件就不洁净, 不拘是炉子, 是锅台, 就要打碎, 都不洁净, 也必与你们不洁净.

11:36 Surely a spring or a cistern collecting water shall be clean, but that which touches their dead body shall become unclean.
但是泉源或是聚水的池子仍是洁净; 惟挨了那死的, 就不洁净.

11:37 And when one of their dead bodies falls on any seed for sowing, it is clean.
若是死的, 有一点掉在要种的子粒上, 子粒仍是洁净;

11:38 But when water is put on the seed and one of their dead bodies falls on it, it is unclean for you.
若水已经浇在子粒上, 那死的有一点掉在上头, 这子粒就与你们不洁净.

11:39 “ ‘And when one of the animals dies that is for you to eat, the one who touches its dead body shall become unclean until the evening.
“你们可吃的走兽若是死了, 有人摸牠, 必不洁净到晚上;

11:40 And the one who eats some of its dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening; and the one who carries its dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening.
有人吃那死了的走兽, 必不洁净到晚上, 并要洗衣服; 拿了死走兽的, 必不洁净到晚上, 并要洗衣服.

11:41 “ ‘And any swarmer that swarms on the land is detestable; it must not be eaten.
“凡地上的爬物是可憎的, 都不可吃.

11:42 You must not eat anything that moves upon its belly or that walks on all fours, even any with numerous feet belonging to any swarmer that swarms on the land, because they are detestable.
凡用肚子行走的和用四足行走的, 或是有许多足的, 就是一切爬在地上的, 你们都不可吃, 因为是可憎的.

11:43 You must not defile yourselves with any swarmer that swarms, and you must not make yourselves unclean by them and so be made unclean by them,
你们不可因甚么爬物使自己成为可憎的, 也不可因这些使自己不洁净, 以致染了污秽.

11:44 because I am Yahweh your God, and you must keep yourselves sanctified, so that you shall be holy, because I am holy. And you must not make yourselves unclean with any swarmer that moves along on the land,
我是耶和华─你们的神; 所以你们要成为圣洁, 因为我是圣洁的. 你们也不可在地上的爬物污秽自己.

11:45 because I am Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be for you as God. Thus you shall be holy, because I am holy.
我是把你们从埃及地领出来的耶和华, 要作你们的神; 所以你们要圣洁, 因为我是圣洁的. ”

11:46 “ ‘This is the regulation of the animals and the birds and all living creatures that move along in the water and concerning all the creatures that swarm on the land,
这是走兽,飞鸟, 和水中游动的活物, 并地上爬物的条例.

11:47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean and between the animal that is to be eaten and the animal that must not be eaten.’ ”
要把洁净的和不洁净的, 可吃的与不可吃的活物, 都分别出来.

Leviticus - Chapter 12

12:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

12:2 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘When a woman becomes pregnant and she gives birth to a male, then she shall be unclean seven days—as in the time of her menstrual bleeding, she shall become unclean.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 若有妇人怀孕生男孩, 她就不洁净七天, 像在月经污秽的日子不洁净一样.

12:3 And on the eighth day his foreskin’s flesh shall be circumcised.
第八天, 要给婴孩行割礼.

12:4 And for thirty-three days she shall stay in the blood of her cleansing; she must not touch any holy object, and she may not come to the sanctuary until the fulfilling of the days of her cleansing.
妇人在产血不洁之中, 要家居三十三天. 她洁净的日子未满, 不可摸圣物, 也不可进入圣所.

12:5 But if she gives birth to a female, then she shall be unclean for two weeks as in her menstruation, and for sixty-six days she shall stay through the blood of her cleansing.
她若生女孩, 就不洁净两个七天, 像污秽的时候一样, 要在产血不洁之中, 家居六十六天.

12:6 And at the fulfilling of the days of her cleansing, whether for a son or for a daughter, she must bring to the priest at the tent of assembly’s entrance a yearling male lamb as a burnt offering and young dove or a turtledove as a sin offering.
“满了洁净的日子, 无论是为男孩是为女孩, 她要把一岁的羊羔为燔祭, 一只雏鸽或是一只斑鸠为赎罪祭, 带到会幕门口交给祭司.

12:7 And the priest shall present it before Yahweh, and he shall make atonement for her, so that she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the regulation of childbearing for the male or for the female.
祭司要献在耶和华面前, 为她赎罪, 她的血源就洁净了. 这条例是为生育的妇人, 无论是生男生女.

12:8 And if she cannot afford a sheep, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young doves—one as a burnt offering and one as a sin offering—and the priest shall make atonement for her, so that she shall be clean.’ ”
她的力量若不够献一只羊羔, 她就要取两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽, 一只为燔祭, 一只为赎罪祭. 祭司要为她赎罪, 她就洁净了. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 13

13:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西,亚伦说:

13:2 “When a person has on his body’s skin a swelling or an epidermal eruption or a spot and it becomes an infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.
“人的肉皮上若长了疖子, 或长了癣, 或长了火斑, 在他肉皮上成了大痲疯的灾病, 就要将他带到祭司亚伦或亚伦作祭司的一个子孙面前.

13:3 And the priest shall examine the infection on his body’s skin, and if the hair in the infection turns white and the appearance of the infection is deeper than his body’s skin, it is an infectious skin disease, and the priest shall examine it, and he shall declare him unclean.
祭司要察看肉皮上的灾病, 若灾病处的毛已经变白, 灾病的现象深于肉上的皮, 这便是大痲疯的灾病. 祭司要察看他, 定他为不洁净.

13:4 But if a spot is white on his body’s skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin and its hair does not turn white, then the priest shall confine the afflicted person for seven days.
若火斑在他肉皮上是白的, 现象不深于皮, 其上的毛也没有变白, 祭司就要将有灾病的人关锁七天.

13:5 And the priest shall examine it on the seventh day, and if, in his eyes, the infection has stayed unchanged, the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall confine him for seven days a second time.
第七天, 祭司要察看他, 若看灾病止住了, 没有在皮上发散, 祭司还要将他关锁七天.

13:6 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day for a second time, and if the infection has faded and the infection has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall declare him clean—it is an epidermal eruption; and he shall wash his garments, and so he shall be clean.
第七天, 祭司要再察看他, 若灾病发暗, 而且没有在皮上发散, 祭司要定他为洁净, 原来是癣; 那人就要洗衣服, 得为洁净.

13:7 But if the epidermal eruption spreads further on the skin after showing himself to the priest for his cleansing, then he shall appear a second time to the priest.
但他为得洁净, 将身体给祭司察看以后, 癣若在皮上发散开了, 他要再将身体给祭司察看.

13:8 And the priest shall examine it, and if the epidermal eruption has spread on the skin, then the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease.
祭司要察看, 癣若在皮上发散, 就要定他为不洁净, 是大痲疯.

13:9 “When an infectious skin disease is on a person and he is brought to the priest,
“人有了大痲疯的灾病, 就要将他带到祭司面前.

13:10 the priest shall examine it, and if a white swelling is on the skin and it turns the hair white and raw flesh is in the swelling,
祭司要察看, 皮上若长了白疖, 使毛变白, 在长白疖之处有了红瘀肉,

13:11 it is a chronic infectious skin disease on his body’s skin, and the priest shall declare him unclean; he shall not confine him, because he is unclean.
这是肉皮上的旧大痲疯, 祭司要定他为不洁净, 不用将他关锁, 因为他是不洁净了.

13:12 And if the infectious skin disease breaks out all over on the skin and the infectious skin disease covers all of the afflicted person’s skin from his head to his feed, so far as the priest can see,
大痲疯若在皮上四外发散, 长满了患灾病人的皮, 据祭司察看, 从头到脚无处不有,

13:13 then the priest shall examine it, and if the infectious skin disease covers his whole body, then he shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—all of it has turned white; he is clean.
祭司就要察看, 全身的肉若长满了大痲疯, 就要定那患灾病的为洁净; 全身都变为白, 他乃洁净了.

13:14 But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he shall become unclean.
但红肉几时显在他的身上就几时不洁净.

13:15 And the priest shall examine the raw flesh, and he shall pronounce him unclean—the raw flesh is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.
祭司一看那红肉就定他为不洁净. 红肉本是不洁净, 是大痲疯.

13:16 Or, when the raw flesh returns and it has changed to white, then he shall come to the priest,
红肉若复原, 又变白了, 他就要来见祭司.

13:17 and the priest shall examine him, and if the infection has changed to white, then the priest shall pronounce the afflicted person clean—he is clean.
祭司要察看, 灾病处若变白了, 祭司就要定那患灾病的为洁净, 他乃洁净了.

13:18 “And when someone’s body has a skin sore on his skin and it is healed
“人若在皮肉上长疮, 却治好了,

13:19 and a white swelling or a pinkish spot appears in the skin sore’s place, then he shall show himself to the priest.
在长疮之处又起了白疖, 或是白中带红的火斑, 就要给祭司察看.

13:20 And the priest shall examine it, and if its appearance is deeper than the skin and its hair has changed to white, then the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease; it has broken out in the skin sore.
祭司要察看, 若现象洼于皮, 其上的毛也变白了, 就要定他为不洁净, 是大痲疯的灾病发在疮中.

13:21 And if the priest examines it and if there is no white hair in it and it is not deeper than the skin and it is faded, then the priest shall confine him for seven days.
祭司若察看, 其上没有白毛, 也没有洼于皮, 乃是发暗, 就要将他关锁七天.

13:22 But if it has spread further on the skin, then the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infection.
若在皮上发散开了, 祭司就要定他为不洁净, 是灾病.

13:23 But if the spot has stayed unchanged, it has not spread, it is the skin sore’s scar, so the priest shall declare him clean.
火斑若在原处止住, 没有发散, 便是疮的痕迹, 祭司就要定他为洁净.

13:24 “Or when a body has a burn-spot from fire on its skin and the raw flesh of the burn-spot is pinkish or white,
“人的皮肉上若起了火毒, 火毒的瘀肉成了火斑, 或是白中带红的, 或是全白的,

13:25 then the priest shall examine it, and if the hair turns white in the spot and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is an infectious skin disease—it has broken out in the burn-spot; so the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease.
祭司就要察看, 火斑中的毛若变白了, 现象又深于皮, 是大痲疯在火毒中发出, 就要定他为不洁净, 是大痲疯的灾病.

13:26 But if the priest examines it and if there is not white hair in the spot and it is not deeper than the skin and it is faded, then the priest shall confine him for seven days.
但是祭司察看, 在火斑中若没有白毛, 也没有洼于皮, 乃是发暗, 就要将他关锁七天.

13:27 And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; if it has spread further on the skin, then the priest shall declare him unclean—it is an infectious skin disease.
到第七天, 祭司要察看他, 火斑若在皮上发散开了, 就要定他为不洁净, 是大痲疯的灾病.

13:28 But if it the spot has stayed unchanged in its place, it has not spread on the skin and it is faded, then it is the burn-spot’s swelling, so the priest shall declare him clean, because it is the burn-spot’s scar.
火斑若在原处止住, 没有在皮上发散, 乃是发暗, 是起的火毒, 祭司要定他为洁净, 不过是火毒的痕迹.

13:29 “And when a man or a woman has an infection on the head or in the beard,
“无论男女, 若在头上有灾病, 或是男人胡须上有灾病,

13:30 then the priest shall examine the infection, and if its appearance is deeper than the skin and in it is thin bright red hair, then the priest shall declare it unclean—it is a diseased area of skin; it is an infectious skin disease of the head or the beard.
祭司就要察看; 这灾病现象若深于皮, 其间有细黄毛, 就要定他为不洁净, 这是头疥, 是头上或是胡须上的大痲疯.

13:31 But if the priest examines the diseased area of the skin’s infection and if its appearance is not deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall confine the afflicted person with the diseased area of skin for seven days.
祭司若察看头疥的灾病, 现象不深于皮, 其间也没有黑毛, 就要将长头疥灾病的关锁七天.

13:32 And the priest shall examine the infection on the seventh day, and if the diseased area of skin has not spread and it does not have bright red hair in it and the diseased area of the skin’s appearance is not deeper than the skin,
第七天, 祭司要察看灾病, 若头疥没有发散, 其间也没有黄毛, 头疥的现象不深于皮,

13:33 then he shall shave himself, but he shall not shave the diseased area of skin, and the priest shall confine the person with the diseased area of skin a second time for seven days.
那人就要剃去须发, 但他不可剃头疥之处. 祭司要将那长头疥的, 再关锁七天.

13:34 And the priest shall examine the diseased area of skin on the seventh day, and if the diseased area has not spread on the skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his garments, and he shall be clean.
第七天, 祭司要察看头疥, 头疥若没有在皮上发散, 现象也不深于皮, 就要定他为洁净, 他要洗衣服, 便成为洁净.

13:35 But if the diseased area of skin has not spread further on the skin after his cleansing,
但他得洁净以后, 头疥若在皮上发散开了,

13:36 then the priest shall examine him, and if the diseased area of skin has spread on the skin, the priest shall not inspect for bright red hair—he is unclean.
祭司就要察看他. 头疥若在皮上发散, 就不必找那黄毛, 他是不洁净了.

13:37 But if, in his eyes, the diseased area of skin has stayed unchanged and black hair has grown in it, the diseased area of skin is healed—he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
祭司若看头疥已经止住, 其间也长了黑毛, 头疥已然痊愈, 那人是洁净了, 就要定他为洁净.

13:38 “And when a man or a woman has spots on their body’s skin, white spots,
“无论男女, 皮肉上若起了火斑, 就是白火斑,

13:39 then the priest shall examine them, and if the spots on their body’s skin are a faded white, it is a skin rash; it has broken out on the skin—it is clean.
祭司就要察看, 他们肉皮上的火斑若白中带黑, 这是皮上发出的白癣, 那人是洁净了.

13:40 “And if a man becomes bald, his head is bald, he is clean.
“人头上的发若掉了, 他不过是头秃, 还是洁净.

13:41 And if he becomes bald from his forehead, his head is bald, he is clean.
他顶前若掉了头发, 他不过是顶门秃, 还是洁净.

13:42 But if a pinkish infection occurs on the bald spot or on the bald forehead, it is an infectious skin disease that sprouts on his bald spot or on his bald forehead.
头秃处或是顶门秃处若有白中带红的灾病, 这就是大痲疯发在他头秃处或是顶门秃处,

13:43 So the priest shall examine him, and if the infection’s swelling is pinkish on his bald spot or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of an infectious skin disease on the body,
祭司就要察看, 他起的那灾病若在头秃处或是顶门秃处有白中带红的, 像肉皮上大痲疯的现象,

13:44 he is a man afflicted with a skin disease—he is unclean; the priest certainly shall declare him unclean—his infection is on his head.
那人就是长大痲疯, 不洁净的, 祭司总要定他为不洁净, 他的灾病是在头上.

13:45 “As for the person who is afflicted with a skin disease, his garments must be torn and his hair must be allowed to hang loosely, and he must cover his upper lip, and he must call out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
“身上有长大痲疯灾病的, 他的衣服要撕裂, 也要蓬头散发, 蒙着上唇, 喊叫说: ‘不洁净了! 不洁净了! ’

13:46 For all the days during which the infection is on him, he shall be unclean; he must live alone; his dwelling must be outside the camp.”
灾病在他身上的日子, 他便是不洁净; 他既是不洁净, 就要独居营外. ”

13:47 “And when the garment has an infectious skin disease on it, on a wool garment or on a linen garment,
“染了大痲疯灾病的衣服, 无论是羊毛衣服,是麻布衣服,

13:48 or on woven material or on a linen fabric, or on wool or on leather or on any work of leather,
无论是在经上,在纬上, 是麻布的,是羊毛的, 是在皮子上, 或在皮子做的甚么物件上,

13:49 and if the infection is yellowish green or reddish on the garment or on the leather or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object, it is an infectious skin disease and it shall be shown to the priest.
或在衣服上,皮子上, 经上,纬上, 或在皮子做的甚么物件上, 这灾病若是发绿, 或是发红, 是大痲疯的灾病, 要给祭司察看.

13:50 And the priest shall examine the infection, and he shall confine the infected article for seven days.
祭司就要察看那灾病, 把染了灾病的物件关锁七天.

13:51 And he shall examine the infection on the seventh day; if the infection has spread on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on the leather, for any work for which the leather is used, the infection is a destructive skin disease—it is unclean.
第七天, 他要察看那灾病, 灾病或在衣服上, 经上,纬上, 皮子上, 若发散, 这皮子无论当作何用, 这灾病是蚕食的大痲疯, 都是不洁净了.

13:52 And he shall burn the garment or the woven material or the fabric, whether wool or linen, or any leather object that has the infection, because it is an infectious skin disease, which is destructive—it must be burned in the fire.
那染了灾病的衣服, 或是经上,纬上, 羊毛上, 麻衣上, 或是皮子做的甚么物件上, 他都要焚烧; 因为这是蚕食的大痲疯, 必在火中焚烧.

13:53 “But if the priest examines it and if the infection has not spread on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object,
“祭司要察看, 若灾病在衣服上, 经上,纬上, 或是皮子做的甚么物件上, 没有发散,

13:54 then the priest shall command, and someone shall wash that on which the infection is, and he shall confine it a second time for seven days.
祭司就要吩咐他们, 把染了灾病的物件洗了, 再关锁七天.

13:55 And the priest shall examine it after the infection has been washed off, and if the infection has not changed its outward appearance and the infection has not spread, it is unclean; he must burn it in the fire; it is a fungus on its back or on its front.
洗过以后, 祭司要察看, 那物件若没有变色, 灾病也没有消散, 那物件就不洁净, 是透重的灾病, 无论正面反面, 都要在火中焚烧.

13:56 But if the priest examines it and if the infection is faded after it has been washed off, then he shall tear it from the garment or from the leather or from the woven material or from the fabric.
洗过以后, 祭司要察看, 若见那灾病发暗, 他就要把那灾病从衣服上,皮子上,经上,纬上, 都撕去.

13:57 And if it appears again on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object, it is spreading; you must burn in the fire that which has the infection in it.
若仍现在衣服上, 或是经上,纬上,皮子做的甚么物件上, 这就是灾病又发了,必用火焚烧那染灾病的物件.

13:58 And the garment or the woven material or the fabric or any leather object that he might wash and the infection is removed from them then shall be washed a second time, and it shall be clean.”
所洗的衣服, 或是经, 或是纬, 或是皮子做的甚么物件, 若灾病离开了, 要再洗, 就洁净了. ”

13:59 This is the regulation of the infectious skin disease in the wool garment or the linen or the woven material or the fabric or any leather object to declare it clean or to declare it unclean.
这就是大痲疯灾病的条例, 无论是在羊毛衣服上, 麻布衣服上, 经上,纬上, 和皮子做的甚么物件上, 可以定为洁净或是不洁净.

Leviticus - Chapter 14

14:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

14:2 “This is the regulation of the person afflicted with a skin disease at the time of his cleansing. And he shall be brought to the priest,
“长大痲疯得洁净的日子, 其例乃是这样: 要带他去见祭司;

14:3 and the priest shall go outside the camp, and the priest shall examine him, and if the skin disease’s infection is healed on the afflicted person,
祭司要出到营外察看, 若见他的大痲疯痊愈了,

14:4 then the priest shall command, and he shall take two living, clean birds and cedar wood and a crimson thread and hyssop for the one who presents himself for cleansing.
就要吩咐人为那求洁净的拿两只洁净的活鸟和香柏木,朱红色线, 并牛膝草来.

14:5 Then the priest shall command someone to slaughter one bird over fresh water in a clay vessel.
祭司要吩咐用瓦器盛活水, 把一只鸟宰在上面.

14:6 He must take the living bird and the cedar wood and the crimson thread and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird in the bird’s blood slaughtered over the fresh water.
至于那只活鸟, 祭司要把牠和香柏木,朱红色线并牛膝草一同蘸于宰在活水上的鸟血中,

14:7 And he shall spatter the blood seven times on the one who presents himself for cleansing from the infectious skin disease, and he shall declare him clean, and he shall send the living bird into the open field.
用以在那长大痲疯求洁净的人身上洒七次, 就定他为洁净, 又把活鸟放在田野里.

14:8 Then the one who presents himself for cleansing shall wash his garments, and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash himself in the water; thus he shall be clean, and afterward he shall enter the camp, but he shall stay outside his tent for seven days.
求洁净的人当洗衣服, 剃去毛发, 用水洗澡, 就洁净了; 然后可以进营, 只是要在自己的帐棚外居住七天.

14:9 And then on the seventh day he must shave off all his hair—he must shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows and all the rest of his hair—and he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body in the water; thus he shall be clean.
第七天, 再把头上所有的头发与胡须,眉毛, 并全身的毛, 都剃了; 又要洗衣服, 用水洗身, 就洁净了.

14:10 “And on the eighth day he must take two male lambs without defect and one ewe-lamb in its first year without defect and three-tenths of an ephah of finely milled flour mixed with oil as a grain offering and one log of oil.
“第八天, 他要取两只没有残疾的公羊羔和一只没有残疾,一岁的母羊羔, 又要把调油的细面伊法十分之三为素祭, 并油一罗革, 一同取来.

14:11 And the priest who cleanses him shall present the man who presents himself for cleansing and these things before the tent of assembly’s entrance.
行洁净之礼的祭司要将那求洁净的人和这些东西安置在会幕门口,耶和华面前.

14:12 Then the priest shall take the one male lamb, and he shall present it as a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and he shall wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh.
祭司要取一只公羊羔献为赎愆祭, 和那一罗革油一同作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇;

14:13 And he shall slaughter the male lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt offering in the sanctuary’s space, because as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so also the guilt offering—it is a most holy thing.
把公羊羔宰于圣地, 就是宰赎罪祭牲和燔祭牲之地. 赎愆祭要归祭司, 与赎罪祭一样, 是至圣的.

14:14 And the priest shall take some of the guilt offering’s blood, and the priest shall put it on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe.
祭司要取些赎愆祭牲的血, 抹在求洁净人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上, 并右脚的大拇指上.

14:15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and he shall pour it on his left palm;
祭司要从那一罗革油中取些倒在自己的左手掌里,

14:16 and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is on his left palm, and he shall spatter some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh.
把右手的一个指头蘸在左手的油里, 在耶和华面前用指头弹七次.

14:17 Then the priest shall put some of the remaining oil, which is on his palm, on the right ear’s lobe of the one to be cleansed and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe, on top of the guilt offering’s blood.
将手里所剩的油抹在那求洁净人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上, 并右脚的大拇指上, 就是抹在赎愆祭牲的血上.

14:18 And the remaining oil that is on the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh.
祭司手里所剩的油要抹在那求洁净人的头上, 在耶和华面前为他赎罪.

14:19 Thus the priest shall sacrifice the sin offering, and he shall make atonement for the one who presents himself for cleansing from his uncleanness, and afterward he shall slaughter the burnt offering.
祭司要献赎罪祭, 为那本不洁净,求洁净的人赎罪; 然后要宰燔祭牲,

14:20 Then the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar, and the priest shall make atonement for him, and so he shall be clean.
把燔祭和素祭献在坛上, 为他赎罪, 他就洁净了.

14:21 “But if he is poor and he cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering as a wave offering to make atonement for himself and one-tenth of an ephah of finely milled flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil,
“他若贫穷不能预备够数, 就要取一只公羊羔作赎愆祭, 可以摇一摇, 为他赎罪; 也要把调油的细面伊法十分之一为素祭, 和油一罗革一同取来;

14:22 and two turtledoves or two young doves that he can afford, and one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
又照他的力量取两只斑鸠或是两只雏鸽, 一只作赎罪祭, 一只作燔祭.

14:23 And he shall bring them to the priest at the tent of assembly’s entrance before Yahweh on the eighth day for his cleansing.
第八天, 要为洁净, 把这些带到会幕门口,耶和华面前, 交给祭司.

14:24 And the priest shall take the male lamb for the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh;
祭司要把赎愆祭的羊羔和那一罗革油一同作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇.

14:25 and he shall slaughter the male lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest shall take some of the guilt offering’s blood, and he shall put it on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe.
要宰了赎愆祭的羊羔, 取些赎愆祭牲的血, 抹在那求洁净人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上, 并右脚的大拇指上.

14:26 Then the priest shall pour out some of the oil on his own left palm,
祭司要把些油倒在自己的左手掌里,

14:27 and with his right finger the priest shall spatter some of the oil that is on his left palm seven times before Yahweh.
把左手里的油, 在耶和华面前, 用右手的一个指头弹七次,

14:28 Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is on his palm on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe on the place of the guilt offering’s blood.
又把手里的油抹些在那求洁净人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上, 并右脚的大拇指上, 就是抹赎愆祭之血的原处.

14:29 And the remaining oil that is on the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing to make atonement for him before Yahweh.
祭司手里所剩的油要抹在那求洁净人的头上, 在耶和华面前为他赎罪.

14:30 And he shall sacrifice one of the turtledoves or the young doves that he can afford,
那人又要照他的力量献上一只斑鸠或是一只雏鸽,

14:31 even what he can afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering in addition to the grain offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the one who presents himself for cleansing before Yahweh.
就是他所能办的, 一只为赎罪祭, 一只为燔祭, 与素祭一同献上; 祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪.

14:32 This is the regulation of the one on whom is an infectious skin disease who cannot afford the cost for his cleansing.”
这是那有大痲疯灾病的人,不能将关乎得洁净之物预备够数的条例. ”

14:33 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西,亚伦说:

14:34 “When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am about to give to you as your possession, and I put mildew in a house in the land of your possession,
“你们到了我赐给你们为业的迦南地, 我若使你们所得为业之地的房屋中有大痲疯的灾病,

14:35 then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘It appears to me that an infection is in the house.’
房主就要去告诉祭司说: ‘据我看, 房屋中似乎有灾病. ’

14:36 And the priest shall issue a command, and they shall clear out the house before the priest comes to examine the infection, so that all that is in the house might not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go to examine the house.
祭司还没有进去察看灾病以前, 就要吩咐人把房子腾空, 免得房子里所有的都成了不洁净; 然后祭司要进去察看房子.

14:37 And he shall examine the infection, and if the infection on the house’s wall has yellowish-green or reddish spots and its appearance is deeper than the surface of the wall,
他要察看那灾病, 灾病若在房子的墙上有发绿或发红的凹斑纹, 现象洼于墙,

14:38 then the priest shall go out from the house to the house’s entrance, and he shall confine the house for seven days.
祭司就要出到房门外, 把房子封锁七天.

14:39 And the priest shall return on the seventh day, and he shall examine the infection, and if the infection has spread on the house’s wall,
第七天, 祭司要再去察看, 灾病若在房子的墙上发散,

14:40 the priest shall issue a command and they shall remove the stones on which is the infection, and they shall throw them outside the city on an unclean place.
就要吩咐人把那有灾病的石头挖出来, 扔在城外不洁净之处;

14:41 Then they shall scrape off the plaster from all around the house, and they shall pour out the plaster, which they scraped off, outside the city on an unclean place.
也要叫人刮房内的四围, 所刮掉的灰泥要倒在城外不洁净之处;

14:42 And they shall take other stones, and they shall put them in place of those stones, and they shall take other plaster, and they shall replaster the house.
又要用别的石头代替那挖出来的石头, 要另用灰泥墁房子.

14:43 “But if the infection should return and it breaks out in the house after they have removed the stones and after scraping off the plaster of the house and after it has been replastered,
“他挖出石头, 刮了房子, 墁了以后, 灾病若在房子里又发现,

14:44 then the priest shall come, and he shall examine the infection, and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house—it is unclean.
祭司就要进去察看, 灾病若在房子里发散, 这就是房内蚕食的大痲疯, 是不洁净.

14:45 So he shall break down the house, its stones and its wood and all of the house’s plaster, and he shall bring it all outside the city to an unclean place.
他就要拆毁房子, 把石头,木头,灰泥都搬到城外不洁净之处.

14:46 And the person who enters into the house during all the days that he confined it shall become unclean until the evening.
在房子封锁的时候, 进去的人必不洁净到晚上;

14:47 And the person who sleeps in the house must wash his garments, and the person who eats in the house shall wash his garments.
在房子里躺着的必洗衣服; 在房子里吃饭的也必洗衣服.

14:48 “And if the priest comes again and examines the house and if the infection has not spread in the house after being replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the infection is healed.
“房子墁了以后, 祭司若进去察看, 见灾病在房内没有发散, 就要定房子为洁净, 因为灾病已经消除.

14:49 And he shall take two birds and cedar wood and a crimson thread and hyssop to cleanse the house;
要为洁净房子取两只鸟和香柏木,朱红色线并牛膝草,

14:50 and he shall slaughter the first bird over fresh water on a clay vessel.
用瓦器盛活水, 把一只鸟宰在上面,

14:51 Then he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the crimson thread and the living bird, and he shall dip them in the slaughtered bird’s blood and in the fresh water, and he shall spatter them on the house seven times.
把香柏木,牛膝草,朱红色线, 并那活鸟, 都蘸在被宰的鸟血中与活水中, 用以洒房子七次.

14:52 Thus he shall purify the house with the bird’s blood and with the fresh water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the crimson thread.
要用鸟血,活水,活鸟,香柏木,牛膝草, 并朱红色线, 洁净那房子.

14:53 And he shall send the living bird outside the city into the open field; and so he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
但要把活鸟放在城外田野里. 这样洁净房子(原文是为房子赎罪), 房子就洁净了. ”

14:54 “This is the instruction for any infectious skin disease and for the diseased area of skin,
这是为各类大痲疯的灾病和头疥,

14:55 and for a mildew of the garment and for the house,
并衣服与房子的大痲疯,

14:56 and for the swelling and for the epidermal eruption and for the spot,
以及疖子,癣,火斑所立的条例,

14:57 to teach when something is unclean and when something is clean. This is the regulation of the infectious skin disease.”
指明何时为洁净, 何时为不洁净. 这是大痲疯的条例.

15:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
耶和华对摩西,亚伦说:

15:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and you shall say to them, ‘Any man when a fluid discharge occurs from his body, his fluid discharge is unclean.
“你们晓谕以色列人说: 人若身患漏症, 他因这漏症就不洁净了.

Leviticus - Chapter 16

16:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons, when they had come near before Yahweh and they died.
亚伦的两个儿子近到耶和华面前死了. 死了之后, 耶和华晓谕摩西说:

16:2 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell your brother Aaron that he should not enter at any time into the sanctuary behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover that is on the ark, so that he might not die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.
“要告诉你哥哥亚伦, 不可随时进圣所的幔子内,到柜上的施恩座前, 免得他死亡, 因为我要从云中显现在施恩座上.

16:3 “Aaron must enter the sanctuary with this: a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering.
亚伦进圣所, 要带一只公牛犊为赎罪祭, 一只公绵羊为燔祭.

16:4 He must put on a holy linen tunic, and linen undergarments must be on his body, and he must fasten himself with a linen sash, and he must wrap a linen turban around his head—they are holy garments, and he shall wash his body with water, then he shall put them on.
要穿上细麻布圣内袍, 把细麻布裤子穿在身上, 腰束细麻布带子, 头戴细麻布冠冕; 这都是圣服. 他要用水洗身, 然后穿戴.

16:5 And he must take from the Israelites’ community two he-goats as a sin offering and one ram as a burnt offering.
要从以色列会众取两只公山羊为赎罪祭, 一只公绵羊为燔祭.

16:6 “And Aaron shall present the sin offering’s bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family.
“亚伦要把赎罪祭的公牛奉上, 为自己和本家赎罪;

16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and he shall present them before Yahweh at the tent of assembly’s entrance.
也要把两只公山羊安置在会幕门口,耶和华面前,

16:8 Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh and one for Azazel.
为那两只羊拈阄, 一阄归与耶和华, 一阄归与阿撒泻勒.

16:9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot for Yahweh fell, and he shall sacrifice it as a sin offering.
亚伦要把那拈阄归与耶和华的羊献为赎罪祭,

16:10 But he must present alive before Yahweh the goat on which the lot for Azazel fell to make atonement for himself, to send it away into the desert to Azazel.
但那拈阄归与阿撒泻勒的羊要活着安置在耶和华面前, 用以赎罪, 打发人送到旷野去, 归与阿撒泻勒.

16:11 “And Aaron shall present the sin offering’s bull, which is for himself, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family; then he shall slaughter the sin offering’s bull, which is for himself.
“亚伦要把赎罪祭的公牛牵来宰了, 为自己和本家赎罪;

16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning charcoal from upon the altar from before Yahweh and two handfuls of incense of powdered fragrant perfumes, and he shall bring it from behind the curtain,
拿香炉, 从耶和华面前的坛上盛满火炭, 又拿一捧捣细的香料, 都带入幔子内,

16:13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh so that the cloud of incense might cover the atonement cover, which is on the covenant text, so that he might not die.
在耶和华面前, 把香放在火上, 使香的烟云遮掩法柜上的施恩座, 免得他死亡;

16:14 And he shall take some of the bull’s blood, and he shall spatter it with his finger on the atonement cover’s surface on the eastern side, and before the atonement cover he shall spatter some of the blood with his finger seven times.
也要取些公牛的血, 用指头弹在施恩座的东面, 又在施恩座的前面弹血七次.

16:15 “And he shall slaughter the sin offering’s goat, which is for the people, and he shall bring its blood from behind the curtain, and he shall do with its blood as that which he did with the bull’s blood, and he shall spatter it on the atonement cover and before the atonement cover.
“随后他要宰那为百姓作赎罪祭的公山羊, 把羊的血带入幔子内, 弹在施恩座的上面和前面, 好像弹公牛的血一样.

16:16 Thus he shall make atonement for the sanctuary from the Israelites’ impurities and from their transgressions for all their sins; and so he must do for the tent of assembly, which dwells with them in the midst of their impurities.
他因以色列人诸般的污秽,过犯, 就是他们一切的罪愆, 当这样在圣所行赎罪之礼, 并因会幕在他们污秽之中, 也要照样而行.

16:17 And no person shall be in the tent of assembly when he enters to make atonement in the sanctuary until he comes out, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for his family and for all of Israel’s assembly.
他进圣所赎罪的时候, 会幕里不可有人, 直等到他为自己和本家并以色列全会众赎了罪出来.

16:18 “Then he shall go out to the altar that is before Yahweh, and he shall make atonement for it; and he shall take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood, and he shall put it all around on the altar’s horns.
他出来, 要到耶和华面前的坛那里, 在坛上行赎罪之礼, 又要取些公牛的血和公山羊的血, 抹在坛上四角的周围;

16:19 And he shall spatter some of the blood on it seven times with his finger, and he shall cleanse it and consecrate it from the Israelites’ impurities.
也要用指头把血弹在坛上七次, 洁净了坛, 从坛上除掉以色列人诸般的污秽, 使坛成圣. ”

16:20 “And he shall finish making atonement for the sanctuary and the tent of assembly and the altar; then he shall present the living goat.
“亚伦为圣所和会幕并坛献完了赎罪祭, 就要把那只活着的公山羊奉上.

16:21 And Aaron shall place his two hands on the living goat’s head, and he shall confess over it all the Israelites’ iniquities and all their transgressions for all their sins, and he shall put them on the goat’s head, and he shall send it away into the desert with a man standing ready.
两手按在羊头上, 承认以色列人诸般的罪孽过犯, 就是他们一切的罪愆, 把这罪都归在羊的头上, 藉著所派之人的手, 送到旷野去.

16:22 Thus the goat shall bear on it to a barren region all their guilt, and he shall send the goat away into the desert.
要把这羊放在旷野, 这羊要担当他们一切的罪孽, 带到无人之地.

16:23 “And Aaron shall enter the tent of assembly, and he shall take off the linen garments that he put on at his coming to the sanctuary, and he shall leave them there.
“亚伦要进会幕, 把他进圣所时所穿的细麻布衣服脱下, 放在那里,

16:24 And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place, and he shall put on his garments and go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering, and so he shall make atonement for himself and for people.
又要在圣处用水洗身, 穿上衣服, 出来, 把自己的燔祭和百姓的燔祭献上, 为自己和百姓赎罪.

16:25 And he must turn into smoke the sin offering’s fat on the altar.
赎罪祭牲的脂油要在坛上焚烧.

16:26 “And the person who sends out the goat for Azazel shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body with water, and afterward he shall come to the camp.
那放羊归与阿撒泻勒的人要洗衣服, 用水洗身, 然后进营.

16:27 And the sin offering’s bull and the sin offering’s goat, whose blood was brought to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall be brought outside the camp, and they shall burn their hide and their flesh and their offal in the fire.
作赎罪祭的公牛和公山羊的血既带入圣所赎罪, 这牛羊就要搬到营外, 将皮,肉,粪用火焚烧.

16:28 And the person who burns them shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body with water, and afterward he must come to the camp.
焚烧的人要洗衣服, 用水洗身, 然后进营. ”

16:29 “And this shall be a lasting statute for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you must deny yourselves and you must not do any work, whether the native or the alien who is dwelling in your midst,
“每逢七月初十日, 你们要刻苦己心, 无论是本地人, 是寄居在你们中间的外人, 甚么工都不可做; 这要作你们永远的定例.

16:30 because on this day he shall make atonement for you to cleanse you; you must be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.
因在这日要为你们赎罪, 使你们洁净. 你们要在耶和华面前得以洁净, 脱尽一切的罪愆.

16:31 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves—it is a lasting statute.
这日你们要守为圣安息日, 要刻苦己心; 这为永远的定例.

16:32 And the priest who is anointed and who is ordained to serve as a priest in place of his father shall make atonement; thus he shall put on the linen garments, the holy garments,
那受膏,接续他父亲承接圣职的祭司要穿上细麻布的圣衣, 行赎罪之礼.

16:33 and he shall make atonement for the sanctuary’s holy place, and he shall make atonement for the tent of assembly and the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all of the assembly’s people.
他要在至圣所和会幕与坛行赎罪之礼, 并要为众祭司和会众的百姓赎罪.

16:34 And this shall be a lasting statute for you to make atonement for the Israelites one time in a year from all their sins.”
这要作你们永远的定例─就是因以色列人一切的罪, 要一年一次为他们赎罪. ”于是, 亚伦照耶和华所吩咐摩西的行了.

Leviticus - Chapter 17

17:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

17:2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites, and you shall say to them, ‘This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying,
“你晓谕亚伦和他儿子并以色列众人说, 耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样:

17:3 “Any man from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox or a sheep or a goat in the camp or who slaughters it outside the camp
凡以色列家中的人宰公牛, 或是绵羊羔, 或是山羊, 不拘宰于营内营外,

17:4 and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to present an offering to Yahweh before Yahweh’s tabernacle, then that man shall be accounted bloodguilty—he has poured out blood, and that man shall be cut off from the midst of his people.
若未曾牵到会幕门口,耶和华的帐幕前献给耶和华为供物, 流血的罪必归到那人身上. 他流了血, 要从民中剪除.

17:5 This is so that the Israelites may bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field and bring them for Yahweh to the tent of assembly’s entrance to the priest, and they shall sacrifice fellowship offerings for Yahweh with them.
这是为要使以色列人把他们在田野里所献的祭带到会幕门口,耶和华面前, 交给祭司, 献与耶和华为平安祭.

17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh’s altar at the tent of assembly’s entrance, and he shall burn the fat as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
祭司要把血洒在会幕门口,耶和华的坛上, 把脂油焚烧, 献给耶和华为馨香的祭.

17:7 And they may no longer sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat-idols after which they were prostituting. This is a lasting statute for them throughout their generations.” ’
他们不可再献祭给他们行邪淫所随从的鬼魔(原文是公山羊); 这要作他们世世代代永远的定例.

17:8 “And you shall say to them, ‘if there is anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien who dwells in their midst who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
“你要晓谕他们说: 凡以色列家中的人, 或是寄居在他们中间的外人, 献燔祭或是平安祭,

17:9 and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to sacrifice it for Yahweh, then that man shall be cut off from his people.
若不带到会幕门口献给耶和华, 那人必从民中剪除.

17:10 And if there is anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who eats any blood, then I will set my face against the person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.
“凡以色列家中的人, 或是寄居在他们中间的外人, 若吃甚么血, 我必向那吃血的人变脸, 把他从民中剪除.

17:11 Indeed the flesh’s life is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, because it is the blood with the life that makes atonement.
因为活物的生命是在血中. 我把这血赐给你们, 可以在坛上为你们的生命赎罪; 因血里有生命, 所以能赎罪.

17:12 Therefore I said to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may the alien who is dwelling in your midst eat blood.’
因此, 我对以色列人说: 你们都不可吃血; 寄居在你们中间的外人也不可吃血.

17:13 “And if there is anyone from the Israelites or from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who hunts a wild game animal or a bird that may be eaten, then he shall pour out its blood, and he shall cover it with the soil.
凡以色列人, 或是寄居在他们中间的外人, 若打猎得了可吃的禽兽, 必放出牠的血来, 用土掩盖.

17:14 Indeed, the life of all flesh, its blood, is in its life, so I said to the Israelites, ‘You may not eat the blood of any flesh, because the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.’
“论到一切活物的生命, 就在血中. 所以我对以色列人说: 无论甚么活物的血, 你们都不可吃, 因为一切活物的血就是他的生命. 凡吃了血的, 必被剪除.

17:15 “And if there is any person who eats a dead body or a mangled carcass, whether among the native or among the alien, then he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall be clean.
凡吃自死的, 或是被野兽撕裂的, 无论是本地人, 是寄居的, 必不洁净到晚上, 都要洗衣服, 用水洗身, 到了晚上才为洁净.

17:16 But if he does not wash his garments and he does not wash his body, then he shall bear his guilt.”
但他若不洗衣服, 也不洗身, 就必担当他的罪孽. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 18

18:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

18:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh your God.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 我是耶和华─你们的神.

18:3 You must not carry out the practices of the land of Egypt, in which you lived, and you must not carry out the practices of the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you; and you must not follow their statutes.
你们从前住的埃及地, 那里人的行为, 你们不可效法, 我要领你们到的迦南地, 那里人的行为也不可效法, 也不可照他们的恶俗行.

18:4 You must carry out my regulations, and you must observe my statutes by following them; I am Yahweh your God.
你们要遵我的典章, 守我的律例, 按此而行. 我是耶和华─你们的神.

18:5 And you shall observe my statutes and my regulations by which the person doing them shall live; I am Yahweh.
所以, 你们要守我的律例典章; 人若遵行, 就必因此活着. 我是耶和华.

18:6 “ ‘None of you shall approach anyone who is his close relative to expose nakedness; I am Yahweh.
“你们都不可露骨肉之亲的下体, 亲近他们. 我是耶和华.

18:7 You must not expose your father’s nakedness or your mother’s nakedness—she is your mother; you must not expose her nakedness.
不可露你母亲的下体, 羞辱了你父亲. 她是你的母亲, 不可露她的下体.

18:8 You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife—it is your father’s nakedness.
不可露你继母的下体; 这本是你父亲的下体.

18:9 As for your sister’s nakedness, whether your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether born at home or born abroad, you must not expose their nakedness.
你的姊妹, 不拘是异母同父的, 是异父同母的, 无论是生在家生在外的, 都不可露她们的下体.

18:10 As for the nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, you must not expose their nakedness, because they are your nakedness.
不可露你孙女或是外孙女的下体, 露了她们的下体就是露了自己的下体.

18:11 As for the nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife, she is your sister, a relative of your father; you must not expose her nakedness.
你继母从你父亲生的女儿本是你的妹妹, 不可露她的下体.

18:12 You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.
不可露你姑母的下体; 她是你父亲的骨肉之亲.

18:13 You must not expose the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.

Leviticus - Chapter 21

21:1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, Aaron’s sons, and say to them, ‘One must not make himself unclean for a dead person among his own people,
耶和华对摩西说: “你告诉亚伦子孙作祭司的说: 祭司不可为民中的死人沾染自己,

21:2 except for his direct relative closest to him: his mother and his father, and his son and his daughter, and his brother,
除非为他骨肉之亲的父母,儿女,弟兄,

21:3 and for his sister, a virgin, who is closest to him, who has not had a husband—for her he may defile himself.
和未曾出嫁,作处女的姊妹, 才可以沾染自己.

21:4 He must not make himself unclean as a kinsman by marriage, defiling himself.
祭司既在民中为首, 就不可从俗沾染自己.

21:5 “ ‘And they shall not shave bald patches on their head, and they shall not shave off the corner of their beard, and they shall not make a cut in their body.
不可使头光秃; 不可剃除胡须的周围, 也不可用刀划身.

21:6 They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God, because they are bringing near the offerings made by fire to Yahweh—their God’s food—and they shall be holy.
要归神为圣, 不可亵渎神的名; 因为耶和华的火祭, 就是神的食物, 是他们献的, 所以他们要成为圣.

21:7 “ ‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute and defiled, nor shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband, because each priest is holy for his God.
不可娶妓女或被污的女人为妻, 也不可娶被休的妇人为妻, 因为祭司是归神为圣.

21:8 And you shall consecrate him, because he is bringing near your God’s food; he shall be holy to you, since I, Yahweh, who consecrates you, am holy.
所以你要使他成圣, 因为他奉献你神的食物; 你要以他为圣, 因为我─使你们成圣的耶和华─是圣的.

21:15 And he shall not profane his offspring among his people, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates him.’ ”
不可在民中辱没他的儿女, 因为我是叫他成圣的耶和华. ”

21:16 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

21:17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘A man from your offspring throughout their generations, in whom is a physical defect, shall not come near to present your God’s food.
“你告诉亚伦说: 你世世代代的后裔, 凡有残疾的, 都不可近前来献他神的食物.

21:18 Indeed, any man in whom is a physical defect shall not come near: a blind man or lame or disfigured or deformed,
因为凡有残疾的, 无论是瞎眼的,瘸腿的,塌鼻子的,肢体有余的,

21:19 or a man in whom is a broken foot or a broken hand,
折脚折手的,

21:20 or a hunchback or a dwarf, or a spot in his eye or a skin disorder or a skin eruption or a crushed testicle.
驼背的,矮矬的,眼睛有毛病的,长癣的,长疥的, 或是损坏肾子的, 都不可近前来.

21:21 Any man from Aaron the priest’s offspring in whom is a physical defect shall not come near to present offerings made by fire to Yahweh; a physical defect is in him; he shall not come near to present his God’s food.
祭司亚伦的后裔, 凡有残疾的, 都不可近前来, 将火祭献给耶和华. 他有残疾, 不可近前来献神的食物.

21:22 He may eat his God’s food, from the most holy things and from the holy things.
神的食物, 无论是圣的, 至圣的, 他都可以吃.

21:23 But he must not enter the curtain, and he must not come near to the altar, because a physical defect is in him, and he must not profane my sanctuary, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.’ ”
但不可进到幔子前, 也不可就近坛前; 因为他有残疾, 免得亵渎我的圣所. 我是叫他成圣的耶和华. ”

21:24 Thus Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites.
于是, 摩西晓谕亚伦和亚伦的子孙, 并以色列众人.

Leviticus - Chapter 22

22:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

22:2 “Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the Israelites’ votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; I am Yahweh.
“你吩咐亚伦和他子孙说: 要远离以色列人所分别为圣,归给我的圣物, 免得亵渎我的圣名. 我是耶和华.

你要对他们说: 你们世世代代的后裔, 凡身上有污秽,亲近以色列人所分别为圣,归耶和华圣物的, 那人必在我面前剪除. 我是耶和华.

22:4 “ ‘Anyone from Aaron’s offspring, if he is afflicted with a skin disease or a fluid discharge, shall not eat in the sanctuary until he is clean; and the one who touches any unclean person or a man from whom an emission of semen goes out,
亚伦的后裔, 凡长大痲疯的, 或是有漏症的, 不可吃圣物, 直等他洁净了. 无论谁摸那因死尸不洁净的物(或译: 人), 或是遗精的人,

22:5 or a man who touches any swarmer that is unclean for him or who touches a person who is unclean for him due to whatever his uncleanness,
或是摸甚么使他不洁净的爬物, 或是摸那使他不洁净的人(不拘那人有甚么不洁净),

22:6 a person who touches such a thing shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat from the votive offerings, except when he washes his body with water
摸了这些人,物的, 必不洁净到晚上; 若不用水洗身, 就不可吃圣物.

22:7 and the sun sets, and he shall be clean; then afterward he may eat from the votive offerings, because it is his food.
日落的时候, 他就洁净了, 然后可以吃圣物, 因为这是他的食物.

22:8 He shall not eat a naturally dead body or a mangled carcass, so that he becomes unclean by it; I am Yahweh.
自死的或是被野兽撕裂的, 他不可吃, 因此污秽自己. 我是耶和华.

22:9 “ ‘And they shall keep my obligation, and they shall not incur guilt because of it, so that they die through it, because they have profaned it; I am Yahweh who consecrates them.
所以他们要守我所吩咐的, 免得轻忽了, 因此担罪而死. 我是叫他们成圣的耶和华.

22:10 “ ‘No stranger shall eat the votive offering; nor shall a temporary resident with a priest or a hired worker eat the votive offering.
“凡外人不可吃圣物; 寄居在祭司家的, 或是雇工人, 都不可吃圣物;

22:11 But a priest, if with his money he buys a person as his possession, that one may eat it, and the descendants of his house themselves may eat his food.
倘若祭司买人, 是他的钱买的, 那人就可以吃圣物; 生在他家的人也可以吃.

22:12 And a priest’s daughter, when she marries a layman, she herself may not eat the votive offering.
祭司的女儿若嫁外人, 就不可吃举祭的圣物.

22:13 But a priest’s daughter, when she becomes a widow or divorced or there is no offspring for her, and she returns to her father’s house as in her childhood, she may eat from her father’s food, but no layman may eat it.
但祭司的女儿若是寡妇, 或是被休的, 没有孩子, 又归回父家, 与她青年一样, 就可以吃她父亲的食物; 只是外人不可吃.

22:14 And if a man eats the votive offering unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it, and he shall give the votive offering to the priest.
若有人误吃了圣物, 要照圣物的原数加上五分之一交给祭司.

22:15 And they shall not profane the Israelites’ votive offerings that they present to Yahweh,
祭司不可亵渎以色列人所献给耶和华的圣物,

22:16 and so cause them, by their eating their votive offerings, to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.’ ”
免得他们在吃圣物上自取罪孽, 因为我是叫他们成圣的耶和华. ”

22:17 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

22:18 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites, and say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel or from the alien in Israel who presents his offering for any of their vows or for any of their freewill offerings that they present to Yahweh as a burnt offering,
“你晓谕亚伦和他子孙, 并以色列众人说: 以色列家中的人, 或在以色列中寄居的, 凡献供物, 无论是所许的愿, 是甘心献的, 就是献给耶和华作燔祭的,

22:19 it must be without defect to be acceptable for you: a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or among the goats.
要将没有残疾的公牛, 或是绵羊, 或是山羊献上, 如此方蒙悦纳.

22:20 You shall not present any animal in which is a physical defect, because it shall not be acceptable for you.
凡有残疾的, 你们不可献上, 因为这不蒙悦纳.

22:21 And if anyone brings a sacrifice of fellowship offerings for Yahweh to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the cattle or from the flock, it must be without defect to be acceptable; there must not be any physical defect in it.
凡从牛群或是羊群中, 将平安祭献给耶和华, 为要还特许的愿, 或是作甘心献的, 所献的必纯全无残疾的才蒙悦纳.

22:22 The blind or the injured or the maimed or the seeping or one with a skin disorder or one with a skin eruption—these you shall not present to Yahweh, nor shall you give from them an offering made by fire on the altar for Yahweh.
瞎眼的,折伤的,残废的,有瘤子的,长癣的,长疥的都不可献给耶和华, 也不可在坛上作为火祭献给耶和华.

22:23 As for an ox or sheep that is deformed or that is stunted, you may present it as a freewill offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted.
无论是公牛是绵羊羔, 若肢体有余的, 或是缺少的, 只可作甘心祭献上; 用以还愿, 却不蒙悦纳.

22:24 And you shall not present anything for Yahweh with bruised or shattered or torn or cut-off testicles, and you shall not sacrifice such in your land.
肾子损伤的, 或是压碎的, 或是破裂的, 或是骟了的, 不可献给耶和华, 在你们的地上也不可这样行.

22:25 And you shall not present your God’s food from any of these by the hand of a foreigner, because their deformity is in them; a physical defect is in them; they shall not be accepted for you.’ ”
这类的物, 你们从外人的手, 一样也不可接受作你们神的食物献上; 因为这些都有损坏, 有残疾, 不蒙悦纳. ”

22:26 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

22:27 “When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, then it shall be under its mother for seven days, and from the eighth day and beyond it is acceptable as an offering made by fire for Yahweh.
“才生的公牛, 或是绵羊或是山羊, 七天当跟着母; 从第八天以后, 可以当供物蒙悦纳, 作为耶和华的火祭.

22:28 And you shall not slaughter an ox or a sheep and its young on the same day.
无论是母牛是母羊, 不可同日宰母和子.

22:29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you must sacrifice it to be acceptable for you.
你们献感谢祭给耶和华, 要献得可蒙悦纳.

22:30 It must be eaten on that day; you must not leave over anything from it until morning; I am Yahweh.
要当天吃, 一点不可留到早晨. 我是耶和华.

22:31 “Thus you shall keep my commands, and you shall do them; I am Yahweh.
“你们要谨守遵行我的诫命. 我是耶和华.

22:32 “And you shall not profane my holy name, so that I may be consecrated in the midst of the Israelites; I am Yahweh, who consecrates you,
你们不可亵渎我的圣名; 我在以色列人中, 却要被尊为圣. 我是叫你们成圣的耶和华,

22:33 the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be as God for you; I am Yahweh.”
把你们从埃及地领出来, 作你们的神. 我是耶和华. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 23

23:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

23:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘The festivals of Yahweh that you shall proclaim are holy assemblies; these are my appointed times.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 耶和华的节期, 你们要宣告为圣会的节期.

23:3 “ ‘For six days work is to be done, and on the seventh day shall be a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly; you shall not do any work; it shall be a Sabbath for Yahweh in all your dwellings.
六日要做工, 第七日是圣安息日, 当有圣会; 你们甚么工都不可做. 这是在你们一切的住处向耶和华守的安息日.

23:4 “ ‘These are Yahweh’s appointed times, holy assemblies, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time.
耶和华的节期, 就是你们到了日期要宣告为圣会的, 乃是这些. ”

23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month at the evening is Yahweh’s Passover.
“正月十四日, 黄昏的时候, 是耶和华的逾越节.

23:6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is Yahweh’s Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

23:8 And you shall present an offering for Yahweh made by fire for seven days; on the seventh day there shall be a holy assembly; you shall not do any regular work.’ ”
要将火祭献给耶和华七日. 第七日是圣会, 甚么劳碌的工都不可做. ”

23:9 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

23:10 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you come to the land that I am about to give to you and you reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 你们到了我赐给你们的地, 收割庄稼的时候, 要将初熟的庄稼一捆带给祭司.

23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh for your acceptance; the priest shall wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
他要把这一捆在耶和华面前摇一摇, 使你们得蒙悦纳. 祭司要在安息日的次日把这捆摇一摇.

23:12 And on the day of your waving the sheaf you shall offer a yearling male lamb without defect as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
摇这捆的日子, 你们要把一岁,没有残疾的公绵羊羔献给耶和华为燔祭.

23:13 And its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of finely milled flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, an appeasing fragrance; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin of wine.
同献的素祭, 就是调油的细面伊法十分之二, 作为馨香的火祭, 献给耶和华. 同献的奠祭, 要酒一欣四分之一.

23:14 And you shall not eat bread or roasted grain or ripe grain until this very same day, until you present your God’s offering. This must be a lasting statute for your generations in all your dwellings.
无论是饼, 是烘的子粒, 是新穗子, 你们都不可吃, 直等到把你们献给神的供物带来的那一天才可以吃. 这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例. ”

23:15 “ ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day of your bringing the wave offering’s sheaf—there shall be seven full weeks.
“你们要从安息日的次日, 献禾捆为摇祭的那日算起, 要满了七个安息日.

23:16 Until the day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; then you shall present a new grain offering for Yahweh.
到第七个安息日的次日, 共计五十天, 又要将新素祭献给耶和华.

23:17 You shall bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread made with two-tenths of an ephah of finely milled flour; they must be baked with leaven—the firstfruits belonging to Yahweh.
要从你们的住处取出细面伊法十分之二, 加酵, 烤成两个摇祭的饼, 当作初熟之物献给耶和华.

23:18 And, in addition to the bread, you shall present seven yearling male lambs without defects and one young bull and two rams—they shall be a burnt offering for Yahweh with their grain offering and their libations, an offering made by fire, an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
又要将一岁,没有残疾的羊羔七只,公牛犊一只,公绵羊两只, 和饼一同奉上. 这些与同献的素祭和奠祭要作为燔祭献给耶和华, 就是作馨香的火祭献给耶和华.

23:20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Yahweh; in addition to the two male lambs, they shall be holy for Yahweh for the priest.
祭司要把这些和初熟麦子做的饼一同作摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇; 这是献与耶和华为圣物归给祭司的.

23:21 And you shall make a proclamation on this very same day; it shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work; this is a lasting statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
当这日, 你们要宣告圣会; 甚么劳碌的工都不可做. 这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例.

23:22 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you must not finish the edge of your field at your reaping, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest—you shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
“在你们的地收割庄稼, 不可割尽田角, 也不可拾取所遗落的; 要留给穷人和寄居的. 我是耶和华─你们的神. ”

23:23 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

23:24 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a rest period, a remembrance of the trumpet blast, a holy assembly.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 七月初一, 你们要守为圣安息日, 要吹角作纪念, 当有圣会.

23:25 You must not do any regular work, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’ ”
甚么劳碌的工都不可做; 要将火祭献给耶和华. ”

23:26 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

23:27 “Surely the Day of Atonement is on the tenth day of the seventh month; it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall deny yourselves, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
“七月初十是赎罪日; 你们要守为圣会, 并要刻苦己心, 也要将火祭献给耶和华.

23:28 And you must not do any regular work on this very same day, because it is the Day of Atonement to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.
当这日, 甚么工都不可做; 因为是赎罪日, 要在耶和华─你们的神面前赎罪.

23:29 If there is any person who does not deny himself on this very same day, then he shall be cut off from his people.
当这日, 凡不刻苦己心的, 必从民中剪除.

23:30 As for any person who does any work on this very same day, I will exterminate that person from the midst of his people.

23:31 You must not do any work; it is a lasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
你们甚么工都不可做. 这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例.

23:32 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves on the ninth day of the month in the evening—from evening to evening you must observe your extraordinary Sabbath.”
你们要守这日为圣安息日, 并要刻苦己心. 从这月初九日晚上到次日晚上, 要守为安息日. ”

23:33 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

23:34 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, this shall be the Feast of Booths for seven days for Yahweh.

23:36 For seven days you must present an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh; it is a celebration; you must not do any regular work.
七日内要将火祭献给耶和华. 第八日当守圣会, 要将火祭献给耶和华. 这是严肃会, 甚么劳碌的工都不可做.

23:37 “ ‘These are Yahweh’s festivals, which you must proclaim, holy assemblies to present an offering made by fire to Yahweh—burnt offering and grain offering, sacrifice and libations, each on its proper day—
“这是耶和华的节期, 就是你们要宣告为圣会的节期; 要将火祭,燔祭,素祭,祭物, 并奠祭, 各归各日, 献给耶和华.

23:38 besides Yahweh’s Sabbaths and besides your gifts and besides your vows and besides all your freewill offerings that you give to Yahweh.
这是在耶和华的安息日以外, 又在你们的供物和所许的愿, 并甘心献给耶和华的以外.

23:39 “ ‘Surely on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, at your gathering the land’s produce, you shall hold Yahweh’s festival for seven days; on the first day there shall be a rest period and on the eighth day a rest period.
“你们收藏了地的出产, 就从七月十五日起, 要守耶和华的节七日. 第一日为圣安息; 第八日也为圣安息.

23:40 And on the first day you shall take for yourselves the first fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees and branches of a leafy tree and of a brook’s poplar trees, and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God for seven days.
第一日要拿美好树上的果子和棕树上的枝子, 与茂密树的枝条并河旁的柳枝, 在耶和华─你们的神面前欢乐七日.

23:41 And you must hold it as a festival for Yahweh for seven days in the year; it shall be a lasting statute throughout your generations; in the seventh month you must hold it.
每年七月间, 要向耶和华守这节七日. 这为你们世世代代永远的定例.

23:42 You must live in the booths for seven days; all the natives in Israel must live in the booths,
你们要住在棚里七日; 凡以色列家的人都要住在棚里,

23:43 so that your generations shall know that I made the Israelites live in booths when I brought them from the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
好叫你们世世代代知道, 我领以色列人出埃及地的时候曾使他们住在棚里. 我是耶和华─你们的神. ”

23:44 Thus Moses announced to the Israelites Yahweh’s appointed times.
于是, 摩西将耶和华的节期传给以色列人.

Leviticus - Chapter 24

每安息日要常摆在耶和华面前; 这为以色列人作永远的约.

24:9 And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy thing for him from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire—a lasting rule.”
这饼是要给亚伦和他子孙的; 他们要在圣处吃, 为永远的定例, 因为在献给耶和华的火祭中是至圣的. ”

24:10 And an Israelite woman’s son, and he was an Egyptian man’s son, went out in the midst of the Israelites; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man fought in the camp.
有一个以色列妇人的儿子, 他父亲是埃及人, 一日闲游在以色列人中. 这以色列妇人的儿子和一个以色列人在营里争斗.

24:11 Then the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name, and he cursed, so they brought him to Moses—and the name of his mother was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
这以色列妇人的儿子亵渎了圣名, 并且咒诅, 就有人把他送到摩西那里. (他母亲名叫示罗密, 是但支派底伯利的女儿. )

24:12 Then they put him in custody so that the matter might be made clear to them in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh.
他们把那人收在监里, 要得耶和华所指示的话.

24:13 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

你要晓谕以色列人说: 凡咒诅神的, 必担当他的罪.

那亵渎耶和华名的, 必被治死; 全会众总要用石头打死他. 不管是寄居的是本地人, 他亵渎耶和华名的时候, 必被治死.

打死人的, 必被治死;

24:18 And he who kills a domestic animal must repay for it life in place of life.
打死牲畜的, 必赔上牲畜, 以命偿命.

24:19 And when a man causes a physical defect in his fellow citizen according to what he has done, so it shall be done to him:
人若使他邻舍的身体有残疾, 他怎样行, 也要照样向他行:

24:20 fracture in place of fracture, eye in place of eye, tooth in place of tooth—according to the physical defect he causes to the person, likewise it shall be caused to him.
以伤还伤, 以眼还眼, 以牙还牙. 他怎样叫人的身体有残疾, 也要照样向他行.

24:21 And a killer of a domestic animal must repay for it, and a killer of a human shall be put to death.
打死牲畜的, 必赔上牲畜; 打死人的, 必被治死.

24:22 You must have one norm; as for the alien, so it must be for the native, because I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
不管是寄居的是本地人, 同归一例. 我是耶和华─你们的神. ”

24:23 Thus Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they brought the curser outside the camp, and they stoned him with stones, and the Israelites did just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
于是, 摩西晓谕以色列人, 他们就把那咒诅圣名的人带到营外, 用石头打死. 以色列人就照耶和华所吩咐摩西的行了.

Leviticus - Chapter 25

25:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
耶和华在西奈山对摩西说:

25:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land that I am about to give to you, then the land shall observe a Sabbath for Yahweh.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 你们到了我所赐你们那地的时候, 地就要向耶和华守安息.

25:3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and you shall gather its yield.
六年要耕种田地, 也要修理葡萄园, 收藏地的出产.

25:4 But in the seventh year it shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath for Yahweh; you must not sow your field, and you must not prune your vineyard.
第七年, 地要守圣安息, 就是向耶和华守的安息, 不可耕种田地, 也不可修理葡萄园.

25:5 You must not reap your harvest’s aftergrowth, and you must not harvest the grapes of your unpruned vines—it shall be a year of complete rest for the land.
遗落自长的庄稼不可收割; 没有修理的葡萄树也不可摘取葡萄. 这年, 地要守圣安息.

25:6 And a Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you: for you and for your slave and for your slave woman and for your hired worker and for your temporary residents who are dwelling as aliens with you;
地在安息年所出的, 要给你和你的仆人,婢女,雇工人, 并寄居的外人当食物.

25:7 and all its yield shall be for your domestic animal and for the wild animal, which are in your land to eat.
这年的土产也要给你的牲畜和你地上的走兽当食物. ”

25:8 “ ‘And you shall count for yourself seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years, and they shall be for you time periods of years: forty-nine years.
“你要计算七个安息年, 就是七七年. 这便为你成了七个安息年, 共是四十九年.

25:9 And you shall cause a loud horn blast to be heard on the seventh month on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall cause a ram’s horn to be heard in all your land.
当年七月初十日, 你要大发角声; 这日就是赎罪日, 要在遍地发出角声.

25:10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. It is a Jubilee; it shall be for you, and you shall return. You must return—everyone to his property and everyone to his clan.
第五十年, 你们要当作圣年, 在遍地给一切的居民宣告自由. 这年必为你们的禧年, 各人要归自己的产业, 各归本家.

25:11 You shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee; you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines.
第五十年要作为你们的禧年. 这年不可耕种; 地中自长的, 不可收割; 没有修理的葡萄树也不可摘取葡萄.

25:12 Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat its produce from the field.
因为这是禧年, 你们要当作圣年, 吃地中自出的土产.

25:13 “ ‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
“这禧年, 你们各人要归自己的地业.

25:14 And when you sell something to your fellow citizen or you buy from your neighbor’s hand, you must not oppress one another.
你若卖甚么给邻舍, 或是从邻舍的手中买甚么, 彼此不可亏负.

25:15 You must buy from your fellow citizen according to the number of years after the Jubilee; he must sell to you according to the number of years of yield.
你要按禧年以后的年数向邻舍买; 他也要按年数的收成卖给你.

25:16 You must increase its price according to a greater number of years, but you must decrease its price according to a lesser number of years, because he is selling its yields to you.
年岁若多, 要照数加添价值; 年岁若少, 要照数减去价值, 因为他照收成的数目卖给你.

25:17 And you must not oppress one another, but you shall revere your God, because I am Yahweh, your God.
你们彼此不可亏负, 只要敬畏你们的神, 因为我是耶和华─你们的神. ”

25:18 “ ‘And you shall do my statutes, and you must keep my regulations, and you shall do them, so that you shall live securely on the land.
“我的律例, 你们要遵行, 我的典章, 你们要谨守, 就可以在那地上安然居住.

25:19 And the land shall give its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and you shall live securely on it.
地必出土产, 你们就要吃饱, 在那地上安然居住.

25:20 And if you should say, “What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not sow and we do not gather its yield?”
你们若说: ‘这第七年我们不耕种, 也不收藏土产, 吃甚么呢? ’

25:21 then I will command my blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it will make the yield for three years.
我必在第六年将我所命的福赐给你们, 地便生三年的土产.

25:22 And you will sow in the eighth year, and you shall eat from the old yield; until the ninth year, until the coming of its yield, you shall eat the old yield.
第八年, 你们要耕种, 也要吃陈粮, 等到第九年出产收来的时候, 你们还吃陈粮. ”

25:23 “ ‘But the land must not be sold in perpetuity, because the land is mine, because you are aliens and temporary residents with me.
“地不可永卖, 因为地是我的; 你们在我面前是客旅, 是寄居的.

25:24 And in all your property’s land you must provide redemption for the land.
在你们所得为业的全地, 也要准人将地赎回.

25:25 “ ‘When your brother becomes poor and he sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer shall come, and he shall redeem the thing sold by his brother.
你的弟兄(弟兄是指本国人说; 下同)若渐渐穷乏, 卖了几分地业, 他至近的亲属就要来把弟兄所卖的赎回.

25:26 But if a man does not have a redeemer, then he prospers and he finds enough for his redemption,
若没有能给他赎回的, 他自己渐渐富足, 能够赎回,

25:27 then he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property.
就要算出卖地的年数, 把余剩年数的价值还那买主, 自己便归回自己的地业.

25:28 But if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, then what he has sold shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.
倘若不能为自己得回所卖的, 仍要存在买主的手里直到禧年; 到了禧年, 地业要出买主的手, 自己便归回自己的地业.

25:29 “ ‘And if a man sells a residential house in a walled city, then it shall be his redemption until completing a year after his selling; its redemption shall last a year.
“人若卖城内的住宅, 卖了以后, 一年之内可以赎回; 在一整年, 必有赎回的权柄.

25:30 But if it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, then the house that is in the walled city shall belong to the buyer in perpetuity throughout his generations; it shall not go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee.
若在一整年之内不赎回, 这城内的房屋就定准永归买主, 世世代代为业; 在禧年也不得出买主的手.

25:33 And whatever anyone redeems from the Levites then must go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee, including a house’s selling in his city’s property, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their property in the midst of the Israelites.
若是一个利未人不将所卖的房屋赎回, 是在所得为业的城内, 到了禧年就要出买主的手, 因为利未人城邑的房屋是他们在以色列人中的产业.

25:34 But a field of their cities’ pastureland must not be sold, because it is their property for all time.
只是他们各城郊野之地不可卖, 因为是他们永远的产业. ”

我是耶和华─你们的神, 曾领你们从埃及地出来, 为要把迦南地赐给你们, 要作你们的神. ”

并且那寄居在你们中间的外人和他们的家属, 在你们地上所生的, 你们也可以从其中买人; 他们要作你们的产业.

25:46 And you may pass them on as an inheritance to your sons after you to take possession of as property for all time—you may let them work. But as for your countrymen, the Israelites, you shall not rule with ruthlessness over one another.
你们要将他们遗留给你们的子孙为产业, 要永远从他们中间拣出奴仆; 只是你们的弟兄以色列人, 你们不可严严地辖管.

25:47 “ ‘And if the alien or the temporary resident who are with you prosper, but your countryman who is with him becomes poor and he is sold to an alien, a temporary resident who is with you, or to a descendant of an alien’s clan,
“住在你那里的外人, 或是寄居的, 若渐渐富足, 你的弟兄却渐渐穷乏, 将自己卖给那外人, 或是寄居的, 或是外人的宗族,

25:48 after he is sold redemption shall be for him; one of his brothers may redeem him,
卖了以后, 可以将他赎回. 无论是他的弟兄,

25:49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him, or one of his close relatives from his clan may redeem him; or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
或伯叔,伯叔的儿子, 本家的近支, 都可以赎他. 他自己若渐渐富足, 也可以自赎.

25:50 And he shall calculate with his buyer from the year of his selling himself until the Jubilee; and the value of his selling shall be according to the number of years—it shall be with him like a hired worker’s days.
他要和买主计算, 从卖自己的那年起, 算到禧年; 所卖的价值照着年数多少, 好像工人每年的工价.

25:51 If there are still many years, in keeping with them he shall restore his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.
若缺少的年数多, 就要按著年数从买价中偿还他的赎价.

25:52 And if there are a few years left until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall calculate for himself; he shall restore his redemption according to the number of his years.
若到禧年只缺少几年, 就要按著年数和买主计算, 偿还他的赎价.

25:53 He shall be with him as a yearly hired worker; he shall not rule over him with ruthlessness in your sight.
他和买主同住, 要像每年雇的工人, 买主不可严严地辖管他.

25:54 And if he is not redeemed by any of these ways, then he and his sons with him shall go out in the Year of Jubilee.
他若不这样被赎, 到了禧年, 要和他的儿女一同出去.

25:55 Indeed, the Israelites are servants for me; they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
因为以色列人都是我的仆人, 是我从埃及地领出来的. 我是耶和华─你们的神. ”

Leviticus - Chapter 27

27:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

27:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a vow according to your proper value of persons to Yahweh,
“你晓谕以色列人说: 人还特许的愿, 被许的人要按你所估的价值归给耶和华.

27:3 if your proper value is for a male from twenty years of age up to sixty years of age, then your proper value shall be fifty shekels of money according to the sanctuary’s shekel.
你估定的, 从二十岁到六十岁的男人, 要按圣所的平, 估定价银五十舍客勒.

27:4 But if it is for a female, then your proper value shall be thirty shekels.

若是从一月到五岁, 男子你要估定五舍客勒, 女子估定三舍客勒.

27:7 And if from sixty years of age and above: if a male, then your proper value shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female, ten shekels.
若是从六十岁以上, 男人你要估定十五舍客勒, 女人估定十舍客勒.

27:8 But if he is poorer than your proper value, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; the priest shall value him according to what the person who made a vow can afford.
他若贫穷, 不能照你所估定的价, 就要把他带到祭司面前, 祭司要按许愿人的力量估定他的价.

27:9 “ ‘And if it is a domestic animal from which they present an offering for Yahweh, all that he gives from it for Yahweh shall be a holy object.
“所许的若是牲畜, 就是人献给耶和华为供物的, 凡这一类献给耶和华的, 都要成为圣.

27:10 He shall not replace it, nor shall he exchange it, either good with bad or bad with good; and if he indeed exchanges a domestic animal with a domestic animal, then it and its substitution shall be a holy object.
人不可改换, 也不可更换, 或是好的换坏的, 或是坏的换好的. 若以牲畜更换牲畜, 所许的与所换的都要成为圣.

27:11 But if it is any unclean animal from which they may not present an offering for Yahweh, then he shall present the animal before the priest.
若牲畜不洁净, 是不可献给耶和华为供物的, 就要把牲畜安置在祭司面前.

27:12 And the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad; as the priest sets your proper value, so it shall be.
祭司就要估定价值; 牲畜是好是坏, 祭司怎样估定, 就要以怎样为是.

27:13 And if he indeed wants to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it onto your proper value.
他若一定要赎回, 就要在你所估定的价值以外加上五分之一.

27:14 “ ‘And if a man consecrates his house as a holy object for Yahweh, then the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad; just as the priest sets a value on it, so it shall remain.
“人将房屋分别为圣, 归给耶和华, 祭司就要估定价值. 房屋是好是坏, 祭司怎样估定, 就要以怎样为定.

27:15 But if the one who consecrates it wants to redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall be his.
将房屋分别为圣的人, 若要赎回房屋, 就必在你所估定的价值以外加上五分之一, 房屋仍旧归他.

27:16 “ ‘And if a man consecrates some of his property’s fields for Yahweh, then your proper value shall be in accordance with its seed requirements: a homer of barley seed for fifty shekels of money.
“人若将承受为业的几分地分别为圣, 归给耶和华, 你要按这地撒种多少估定价值, 若撒大麦一贺梅珥, 要估价五十舍客勒.

27:17 If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value.
他若从禧年将地分别为圣, 就要以你所估定的价为定.

27:18 But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money for him according to the number of years that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value.
倘若他在禧年以后将地分别为圣, 祭司就要按著未到禧年所剩的年数推算价值, 也要从你所估的减去价值.

27:19 And if he indeed redeems the field that is consecrated, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall stand for him.
将地分别为圣的人若定要把地赎回, 他便要在你所估的价值以外加上五分之一, 地就准定归他.

27:20 And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again,
他若不赎回那地, 或是将地卖给别人, 就再不能赎了.

27:21 and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out in the Jubilee, like a devoted field; it shall be the priest’s property.
但到了禧年, 那地从买主手下出来的时候, 就要归耶和华为圣, 和永献的地一样, 要归祭司为业.

27:22 “ ‘And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired field that is not the field of his inherited possession,
他若将所买的一块地, 不是承受为业的, 分别为圣归给耶和华,

27:23 then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day as a holy object for Yahweh.
祭司就要将你所估的价值给他推算到禧年. 当日, 他要以你所估的价银为圣, 归给耶和华.

27:24 In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land is.
到了禧年, 那地要归卖主, 就是那承受为业的原主.

27:25 And every proper value of yours shall be in the sanctuary’s shekel—the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
凡你所估定的价银都要按著圣所的平: 二十季拉为一舍客勒.

27:26 “ ‘However, a man shall not consecrate a firstborn among livestock, which belongs as firstborn to Yahweh; whether an ox or small livestock, it is for Yahweh.
“惟独牲畜中头生的, 无论是牛是羊, 既归耶和华, 谁也不可再分别为圣, 因为这是耶和华的.

27:27 And if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your proper value, and he shall add a fifth of its value onto it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your proper value.
若是不洁净的牲畜生的, 就要按你所估定的价值加上五分之一赎回; 若不赎回, 就要按你所估定的价值卖了.

27:28 However, anything devoted that a man has devoted to Yahweh from all that he has, from human or animal, or from the field of his property, may not be sold, and it may not be redeemed; anything devoted is a most holy thing for Yahweh.
“但一切永献的, 就是人从他所有永献给耶和华的, 无论是人, 是牲畜, 是他承受为业的地, 都不可卖, 也不可赎. 凡永献的是归给耶和华为至圣.

27:29 Anyone devoted who is devoted from human beings cannot be ransomed—he shall surely be put to death.
凡从人中当灭的都不可赎, 必被治死. ”

27:30 “ ‘And any tithe of the land from the land’s seed or from the fruit of the trees is for Yahweh; it is a holy object for Yahweh.
“地上所有的, 无论是地上的种子是树上的果子, 十分之一是耶和华的, 是归给耶和华为圣的.

27:31 And if a man indeed redeems from his tithe, he shall add a fifth of its value onto it.
人若要赎这十分之一的甚么物, 就要加上五分之一.

27:32 As for every tithe of cattle or of the flock, all which crosses under the rod, the tenth shall be a holy object for Yahweh.
凡牛群羊群中, 一切从杖下经过的, 每第十只要归给耶和华为圣.

27:33 He shall not inspect between the good and the bad, and he shall not exchange it; but if he indeed exchanges it, then it and its substitution shall be a holy object—it shall not be redeemed.’ ”
不可问是好是坏, 也不可更换; 若定要更换, 所更换的与本来的牲畜都要成为圣, 不可赎回. ”

27:34 These are the commands that Yahweh commanded Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
这就是耶和华在西奈山为以色列人所吩咐摩西的命令.

Numbers - Chapter 5

5:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

5:2 “Command the Israelites: they must send everyone from the camp who is afflicted with a rash, everyone with a fluid discharge, and everyone unclean through contact with a corpse.
“你吩咐以色列人, 使一切长大痲疯的, 患漏症的, 并因死尸不洁净的, 都出营外去.

5:3 You will send away both male and female; you will send them outside the camp. They must not make unclean their camps where I am dwelling in their midst.”
无论男女都要使他们出到营外, 免得污秽他们的营; 这营是我所住的. ”

5:4 So the Israelites did so. They sent them away outside the camp; just as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the Israelites.
以色列人就这样行, 使他们出到营外. 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西, 以色列人就怎样行了.

5:5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

5:6 “Speak to the Israelites: ‘When a man or woman commits any of the sins of humankind by acting unfaithfully, it is a sin against Yahweh, and that person will be guilty;
“你晓谕以色列人说: 无论男女, 若犯了人所常犯的罪, 以致干犯耶和华, 那人就有了罪.

5:7 they will confess their sin that they did and will make restitution for their guilt by adding a fifth to it and giving it to whomever was wronged.
他要承认所犯的罪, 将所亏负人的, 如数赔还, 另外加上五分之一, 也归与所亏负的人.

5:8 But if the man does not have a redeemer to make restitution to him for the reparation, the reparation is to be given to Yahweh for the priest, in addition to the ram of atonement by which atonement is made for him.
那人若没有亲属可受所赔还的, 那所赔还的就要归与服事耶和华的祭司; 至于那为他赎罪的公羊是在外.

5:9 And every contribution of all the holy objects of the Israelites that they bring to the priest for him will be his.
以色列人一切的圣物中, 所奉给祭司的举祭都要归与祭司.

5:10 The holy objects of a man will be for him; whatever he gives to the priest will be for him.’ ”
各人所分别为圣的物, 无论是甚么, 都要归给祭司. ”

5:11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

5:12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and acts unfaithfully to him,
“你晓谕以色列人说: 人的妻若有邪行, 得罪她丈夫,

5:13 and a man sleeps with her and ejaculates and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and she is concealed, although she is defiled, and there is no witness against her and she was not caught,
有人与她行淫, 事情严密, 瞒过她丈夫, 而且她被玷污, 没有作见证的人, 当她行淫的时候也没有被捉住,

5:14 if a spirit of jealousy comes over him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if a spirit of jealousy comes over him and he is jealous of his wife but she is not defiled,
她丈夫生了疑恨的心, 疑恨她, 她是被玷污, 或是她丈夫生了疑恨的心, 疑恨她, 她并没有被玷污,

5:15 he will bring his wife to the priest. And he will bring her offering for her, one-tenth of an ephah of flour. He will not pour oil on it, and he will not put frankincense on it because it is a grain offering of jealousy, a grain offering of remembering, a reminding of guilt.
这人就要将妻送到祭司那里, 又为她带着大麦面伊法十分之一作供物, 不可浇上油, 也不可加上乳香; 因为这是疑恨的素祭, 是思念的素祭, 使人思念罪孽.

5:16 “ ‘Then the priest will bring her near and present her before Yahweh;
“祭司要使那妇人近前来, 站在耶和华面前.

5:17 the priest will take holy waters in a clay vessel, and from the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and the priest will put it into the waters.
祭司要把圣水盛在瓦器里, 又从帐幕的地上取点尘土, 放在水中.

5:18 And the priest will present the woman before Yahweh, and he will uncover the head of the woman; he will then put in her hands the grain offering of the remembering—which is the grain offering of jealousy—and in the hand of the priest will be the waters of bitterness that brings a curse.
祭司要叫那妇人蓬头散发, 站在耶和华面前, 把思念的素祭, 就是疑恨的素祭, 放在她手中. 祭司手里拿着致咒诅的苦水,

5:19 Then the priest will make her swear an oath, and he will say to the woman, “If a man has not slept with you, and if you have not had an impurity affair under your husband, go unpunished from the waters of bitterness that brings this curse.
要叫妇人起誓, 对她说: ‘若没有人与你行淫, 也未曾背著丈夫做污秽的事, 你就免受这致咒诅苦水的灾.

5:20 But if you have had an affair under your husband, and if you are defiled and a man other than your husband had intercourse with you,”
你若背著丈夫行了污秽的事, 在你丈夫以外有人与你行淫,

5:21 the priest will make the woman swear an oath of the sworn oath of the curse, the priest will say to the woman, “May Yahweh give you a curse and a sworn oath in the midst of your people with Yahweh making your hip fall away and your stomach swollen;
(祭司叫妇人发咒起誓), 愿耶和华叫你大腿消瘦, 肚腹发胀, 使你在你民中被人咒诅, 成了誓语;

5:22 and these waters that bring a curse will go into your intestines to cause your womb to swell and to make your hip fall away.” And the women will say, “Amen. Amen.”
并且这致咒诅的水入你的肠中, 要叫你的肚腹发胀, 大腿消瘦. ’妇人要回答说: ‘阿们, 阿们. ’

5:23 “ ‘And the priests will write these curses on the scroll, and he will wipe them off into the waters of the bitterness.
“祭司要写这咒诅的话, 将所写的字抹在苦水里,

5:24 He will make the woman drink the waters of the bitterness that brings a curse, and the waters of bitterness that bring a curse will go into her.
又叫妇人喝这致咒诅的苦水; 这水要进入她里面变苦了.

5:25 The priest will take the grain offering of jealousy from the hand of the woman, and he will wave the grain offering before Yahweh, and he will present it to the altar;
祭司要从妇人的手中取那疑恨的素祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇, 拿到坛前;

5:26 the priest will grasp her memorial offering from the grain offering, and he will turn it into smoke on the altar, and afterward he will make the woman drink the waters.
又要从素祭中取出一把, 作为这事的纪念, 烧在坛上, 然后叫妇人喝这水.

5:27 When he has made her drink the waters, it will come about, if she has defiled herself and acted unfaithfully to her husband and the waters of bitterness that bring a curse go into her and her stomach swells and her hip falls away, the woman will be as a curse in the midst of her people.
叫她喝了以后, 她若被玷污, 得罪了丈夫, 这致咒诅的水必进入她里面变苦了, 她的肚腹就要发胀, 大腿就要消瘦, 那妇人便要在他民中被人咒诅.

5:28 And if the woman is not defiled, and she is pure, she will go unpunished and be able to conceive children.
若妇人没有被玷污, 却是清洁的, 就要免受这灾, 且要怀孕.

5:29 “ ‘This is the regulation of jealousy, when a woman has an affair under her husband and she is defiled,
“妻子背著丈夫行了污秽的事,

5:30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes over a man and he is jealous of his wife, he will present the woman before Yahweh,and the priest will do to her all of this law.
或是人生了疑恨的心, 疑恨他的妻, 就有这疑恨的条例. 那时他要叫妇人站在耶和华面前, 祭司要在她身上照这条例而行.

5:31 The man will go unpunished from guilt, and the woman, she will bear her guilt.’ ”
男人就为无罪, 妇人必担当自己的罪孽. ”

Numbers - Chapter 6

6:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

6:2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When a man or a woman takes a special vow, a vow of a Nazirite, to keep separate for Yahweh,
“你晓谕以色列人说: 无论男女许了特别的愿, 就是拿细耳人的愿(拿细耳就是归主的意思; 下同), 要离俗归耶和华.

6:3 he will abstain from wine and fermented drink; he will not drink wine vinegar or vinegar of fermented drink; he will not drink the fruit juice of grapes or eat fresh or dry grapes.
他就要远离清酒浓酒, 也不可喝甚么清酒浓酒做的醋; 不可喝甚么葡萄汁, 也不可吃鲜葡萄和干葡萄.

在他离俗归耶和华的一切日子, 不可挨近死尸.

6:7 for even his father, mother, brother, or sister he will not make himself unclean by their death, because the separation to his God is on his head.
他的父母或是弟兄姊妹死了的时候, 他不可因他们使自己不洁净, 因为那离俗归神的凭据是在他头上.

6:8 He will be holy for Yahweh all the days of his separation.
在他一切离俗的日子是归耶和华为圣.

6:9 “ ‘If someone dies suddenly and makes the head of his separation unclean, he will shave off the hair of his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he will shave it off.
“若在他旁边忽然有人死了, 以致沾染了他离俗的头, 他要在第七日, 得洁净的时候, 剃头.

第八日, 他要把两只斑鸠或两只雏鸽带到会幕门口, 交给祭司.

6:11 and the priest will offer one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering, and he will make atonement for him because he sinned concerning the corpse. He will consecrate his head on that day.
祭司要献一只作赎罪祭, 一只作燔祭, 为他赎那因死尸而有的罪, 并要当日使他的头成为圣洁.

6:12 He will rededicate to Yahweh the days of his separation and bring a ram-lamb in its first year as a guilt offering. The former days of his vow will fall away because his separation was defiled.
他要另选离俗归耶和华的日子, 又要牵一只一岁的公羊羔来作赎愆祭; 但先前的日子要归徒然, 因为他在离俗之间被玷污了.

6:13 “ ‘This is the regulation of the Nazirite for the day of the fulfilling of the days of his separation: one will bring him to the doorway of the tent of the assembly.
“拿细耳人满了离俗的日子乃有这条例: 人要领他到会幕门口,

他要将供物奉给耶和华, 就是一只没有残疾,一岁的公羊羔作燔祭, 一只没有残疾,一岁的母羊羔作赎罪祭, 和一只没有残疾的公绵羊作平安祭,

6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, finely milled flour of ring-shaped bread cakes mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their libations.

祭司要拿这些作为摇祭, 在耶和华面前摇一摇; 这与所摇的胸,所举的腿同为圣物, 归给祭司. 然后拿细耳人可以喝酒.

6:21 “ ‘This is the regulation of the Nazirite who has made a vow of his offering to Yahweh according to his separation, in addition to what he can afford. In accordance to the word of his vow that he vowed, he will do, concerning the instruction of his separation.’ ”
“许愿的拿细耳人为离俗所献的供物, 和他以外所能得的献给耶和华, 就有这条例. 他怎样许愿就当照离俗的条例行. ”

Numbers - Chapter 7

7:1 On the day Moses finished setting up the tabernacle and appointed and consecrated it and all its vessels, and the altar and its vessels, and he appointed them and consecrated them,
摩西立完了帐幕, 就把帐幕用膏抹了, 使它成圣, 又把其中的器具和坛, 并坛上的器具, 都抹了, 使它成圣.

7:2 the leaders of Israel, the heads of the families, presented an offering; they were the leaders of the tribes and were the ones in charge of the counting.
当天, 以色列的众首领, 就是各族的族长, 都来奉献. 他们是各支派的首领, 管理那些被数的人.

7:3 They brought their offering before the presence of Yahweh, six covered utility carts and twelve cattle, a utility cart for two of the leaders, and a bull for each; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
他们把自己的供物送到耶和华面前, 就是六辆篷子车和十二只公牛. 每两个首领奉献一辆车, 每首领奉献一只牛. 他们把这些都奉到帐幕前.

耶和华晓谕摩西说:

7:5 “Take them, and they will be used to do the work of the tent of the assembly; and you will give them to the Levites, each according to his required service.”
“你要收下这些, 好作会幕的使用, 都要照利未人所办的事交给他们. ”

7:6 So Moses took the utility carts and the cattle, and he gave them to the Levites.
于是摩西收了车和牛, 交给利未人,

7:7 Two utility carts and four cattle he gave to the descendants of Gershon according to their required service;

但车与牛都没有交给哥辖子孙; 因为他们办的是圣所的事, 在肩头上抬圣物.

7:10 The leaders presented offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day of its anointing, and the leaders presented their offerings before the altar.
用膏抹坛的日子, 首领都来行奉献坛的礼, 众首领就在坛前献供物.

7:11 Yahweh said to Moses, “One leader for each day will present their offering for the dedication of the altar.”
耶和华对摩西说: “众首领为行奉献坛的礼, 要每天一个首领来献供物. ”

7:12 And it happened, the one who presented his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah.

Numbers - Chapter 9

9:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
以色列人出埃及地以后, 第二年正月, 耶和华在西奈的旷野吩咐摩西说:

9:2 “Let the Israelites observe the Passover at its appointed time.
“以色列人应当在所定的日期守逾越节,

9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month at twilight you will perform it at its appointed time according to all its decrees; and according to all its stipulations you will observe it.”
就是本月十四日黄昏的时候, 你们要在所定的日期守这节, 要按这节的律例典章而守. ”

9:4 So Moses spoke to the Israelites to observe the Passover.
于是摩西吩咐以色列人守逾越节.

9:5 And they observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight in the desert of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, thus the Israelites did.
他们就在西奈的旷野, 正月十四日黄昏的时候, 守逾越节. 凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的, 以色列人都照样行了.

9:6 And it happened, men who were unclean by a dead person were not able to perform the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.
有几个人因死尸而不洁净, 不能在那日守逾越节. 当日他们到摩西,亚伦面前,

9:7 And those men said to him, “Although we are unclean by a dead person, why are we hindered from presenting the offering of Yahweh at its appointed time in the midst of the Israelites?”
说: “我们虽因死尸而不洁净, 为何被阻止,不得同以色列人在所定的日期献耶和华的供物呢? ”

9:8 Moses said to them, “Stay. I will hear what Yahweh commands to you.”
摩西对他们说: “你们暂且等候, 我可以去听耶和华指着你们是怎样吩咐的. ”

9:9 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

9:10 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Each man that is unclean by a dead person or is on a far journey, you or your descendants, he will observe the Passover of Yahweh.
“你晓谕以色列人说: 你们和你们后代中, 若有人因死尸而不洁净, 或在远方行路, 还要向耶和华守逾越节.

9:11 On the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight they will observe it; they will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter plants.
他们要在二月十四日黄昏的时候, 守逾越节. 要用无酵饼与苦菜, 和逾越节的羊羔同吃.

9:12 They will leave none of it until morning, and they will not break a bone in it; they will observe it according to every decree of the Passover.
一点不可留到早晨; 羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断. 他们要照逾越节的一切律例而守.

9:13 But the man who is clean and not on a journey, and he fails to observe the Passover, that person will be cut off from the people because he did not present the offering of Yahweh on its appointed time. That man will bear his guilt.
那洁净而不行路的人若推辞不守逾越节, 那人要从民中剪除; 因为他在所定的日期不献耶和华的供物, 应该担当他的罪.

9:14 If an alien dwells with you he will observe the Passover of Yahweh according to the decree of the Passover and according to its stipulation; thus you will have one decree for you, for the alien and for the native of the land.’ ”
若有外人寄居在你们中间, 愿意向耶和华守逾越节, 他要照逾越节的律例典章行, 不管是寄居的是本地人, 同归一例. ”

以色列人遵耶和华的吩咐起行, 也遵耶和华的吩咐安营. 云彩在帐幕上停住几时, 他们就住营几时.

有时从晚上到早晨, 有这云彩在帐幕上; 早晨云彩收上去, 他们就起行. 有时昼夜云彩停在帐幕上, 收上去的时候, 他们就起行.

9:22 When it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud prolonged to dwell on the tabernacle, the Israelites encamped, and they did not set out; when it lifted up they set out.
云彩停留在帐幕上, 无论是两天, 是一月, 是一年, 以色列人就住营不起行; 但云彩收上去, 他们就起行.

众百姓发怨言, 他们的恶语达到耶和华的耳中. 耶和华听见了就怒气发作, 使火在他们中间焚烧, 直烧到营的边界.

百姓向摩西哀求, 摩西祈求耶和华, 火就熄了.

11:3 And he called the name of that place Taberah because the fire of Yahweh burned among them.

11:5 We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumber, melon, leek, the onions, and the garlic.
我们记得, 在埃及的时候不花钱就吃鱼, 也记得有黄瓜,西瓜,韭菜,葱,蒜.

11:6 But now our strength is dried up; there is nothing whatsoever except for the manna before us.”

11:8 The people went about and gathered it, and they ground it with mills or crushed it with mortar. Then they boiled it in a pot and made it into bread-cakes; and it tasted like olive oil cakes.

11:10 Moses heard the people weeping according to their clans, each at the doorway of their tents. Then Yahweh became very angry, and in the eyes of Moses it was bad.
摩西听见百姓各在各家的帐棚门口哭号. 耶和华的怒气便大发作, 摩西就不喜悦.

11:11 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you brought trouble to your servant? Why have I not found favor in your eyes, that the burdens of all these people have been placed on me?
摩西对耶和华说: “你为何苦待仆人? 我为何不在你眼前蒙恩, 竟把这管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢?

这百姓岂是我怀的胎, 岂是我生下来的呢? 你竟对我说: ‘把他们抱在怀里, 如养育之父抱吃奶的孩子, 直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的地去. ’

11:13 From where do I have meat to give all these people? They weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat and let us eat!’

11:16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men from the elders of Israel whom you know are elders of the people and their officials; take them to the tent of assembly, and they will stand there with you.
耶和华对摩西说: “你从以色列的长老中招聚七十个人, 就是你所知道作百姓的长老和官长的, 到我这里来, 领他们到会幕前, 使他们和你一同站立.

11:17 I will come down and speak with you there; I will take away from the spirit that is on you, and I will place it on them; and they will bear the burdens of the people with you; you will not bear it alone.
我要在那里降临, 与你说话, 也要把降于你身上的灵分赐他们, 他们就和你同当这管百姓的重任, 免得你独自担当.

11:18 And you will say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves tomorrow, for you will eat meat because you have wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will feed us good meat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Yahweh will give to you meat, and you will eat.
又要对百姓说: ‘你们应当自洁, 预备明天吃肉, 因为你们哭号说: 谁给我们肉吃! 我们在埃及很好. 这声音达到了耶和华的耳中, 所以他必给你们肉吃.

11:19 You will eat, not one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,
你们不止吃一天,两天,五天,十天,二十天,

11:20 but for a whole month, until it comes out from your nose and becomes as nausea to you; because you have rejected Yahweh, who is in your midst, and you wept before his presence, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”
要吃一个整月, 甚至肉从你们鼻孔里喷出来, 使你们厌恶了, 因为你们厌弃住在你们中间的耶和华, 在他面前哭号说: 我们为何出了埃及呢! ’”

11:21 But Moses said, “There are six hundred thousand on foot, among whom I am in the midst, and you yourself said, ‘I will give meat to them, and they will eat for a whole month.’
摩西对耶和华说: “这与我同住的百姓,步行的男人有六十万, 你还说: ‘我要把肉给他们, 使他们可以吃一个整月. ’

11:22 Should flocks and cattle be slaughtered for them? Should all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to be enough for them?”
难道给他们宰了羊群牛群, 或是把海中所有的鱼都聚了来, 就够他们吃吗? ”

11:23 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Is Yahweh’s power limited? Now you will see if my word will happen or not.”
耶和华对摩西说: “耶和华的膀臂岂是缩短了吗? 现在要看我的话向你应验不应验. ”

11:24 So Moses went out, and he spoke the words of Yahweh to the people, and he gathered together seventy men from the elders of the people, and he made them stand all around the tent.
摩西出去, 将耶和华的话告诉百姓, 又招聚百姓的长老中七十个人来, 使他们站在会幕的四围.

11:25 Then Yahweh went down in the cloud and spoke to him, and he took away the spirit that was on him, and he put it on the seventy elders. And as soon as the spirit was resting on them they prophesied, but they did not do it again.
耶和华在云中降临, 对摩西说话, 把降与他身上的灵分赐那七十个长老. 灵停在他们身上的时候, 他们就受感说话, 以后却没有再说.

11:26 But two men were left in the camp; the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the second was Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those who were written down, but they did not go out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp.
但有两个人仍在营里, 一个名叫伊利达, 一个名叫米达. 他们本是在那些被录的人中, 却没有到会幕那里去. 灵停在他们身上, 他们就在营里说预言.

11:27 So a boy ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
有个少年人跑来告诉摩西说: “伊利达,米达在营里说预言. ”

11:28 And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from time of his youth, answered, “Moses, my lord, stop them.”
摩西的帮手, 嫩的儿子约书亚, 就是摩西所拣选的一个人, 说: “请我主摩西禁止他们. ”

11:29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that he give all Yahweh’s people prophets, that Yahweh put his spirit on them!”
摩西对他说: “你为我的缘故嫉妒人吗? 惟愿耶和华的百姓都受感说话! 愿耶和华把他的灵降在他们身上! ”

11:30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel were gathered to the camp.
于是, 摩西和以色列的长老都回到营里去.

11:31 Then a wind set out from Yahweh, and it drove quails from the west, and he spread them out on the camp about a day’s journey on one side and about a day’s journey on the other, all around the camp, about two cubits on the surface of the land.
有风从耶和华那里刮起, 把鹌鹑由海面刮来, 飞散在营边和营的四围; 这边约有一天的路程, 那边约有一天的路程, 离地面约有二肘.

11:32 And so the people worked all day and all night and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the least of the ones collecting gathered ten homers).
百姓起来, 终日终夜, 并次日一整天, 捕取鹌鹑; 至少的也取了十贺梅珥, 为自己摆列在营的四围.

11:33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was consumed, Yahweh was angry with the people, and Yahweh struck a very great plague among the people.
肉在他们牙齿之间尚未嚼烂, 耶和华的怒气就向他们发作, 用最重的灾殃击杀了他们.

11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah because they buried the people that were greedy.
那地方便叫做基博罗‧哈他瓦(就是贪欲之人的坟墓), 因为他们在那里葬埋那起贪欲之心的人.

11:35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people set out to Hazeroth; and they stayed in Hazeroth.
百姓从基博罗‧哈他瓦走到哈洗录, 就住在哈洗录.

12:2 and they said, “Has Yahweh spoken only through Moses? Has not Yahweh also spoken through us?” And Yahweh heard it.
“难道耶和华单与摩西说话, 不也与我们说话吗? ”这话耶和华听见了.

耶和华说: “你们且听我的话: 你们中间若有先知, 我─耶和华必在异象中向他显现, 在梦中与他说话.

12:8 I will speak to him mouth to mouth, in clearness, not in riddles; and he will look at the form of Yahweh. Why were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
我要与他面对面说话, 乃是明说, 不用谜语, 并且他必见我的形像. 你们毁谤我的仆人摩西, 为何不惧怕呢? ”

耶和华就向他们二人发怒而去.

又看那地土是肥美是瘠薄, 其中有树木没有. 你们要放开胆量, 把那地的果子带些来. ”(那时正是葡萄初熟的时候. )

13:21 So they went up and explored the land from the desert of Zin until Rehob, at Lebo Hamath.
他们上去窥探那地, 从寻的旷野到利合, 直到哈马口.

13:22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai the descendants of the Anakites were. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
他们从南地上去, 到了希伯仑; 在那里有亚衲族人亚希幔,示筛,挞买. (原来希伯仑城被建造比埃及的锁安城早七年. )

14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before the assembly of the community of the Israelites.
摩西,亚伦就俯伏在以色列全会众面前.

14:6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the explorers of the land, tore their garments.
窥探地的人中, 嫩的儿子约书亚和耶孚尼的儿子迦勒撕裂衣服,

14:7 And they said to all the community of the Israelites, “The land that we went through to explore is an exceptionally good land.
对以色列全会众说: “我们所窥探,经过之地是极美之地.

14:8 If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and he will give it to us, a land that is flowing with milk and honey.
耶和华若喜悦我们, 就必将我们领进那地, 把地赐给我们; 那地原是流奶与蜜之地.

14:9 Only do not rebel against Yahweh, and you will not fear the people of the land, because they will be our food. Their protection has been turned from them; Yahweh is with us. You should not fear them.”
但你们不可背叛耶和华, 也不要怕那地的居民; 因为他们是我们的食物, 并且荫庇他们的已经离开他们. 有耶和华与我们同在, 不要怕他们! ”

14:10 And all the community said to stone them with stones, but the glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of assembly among the Israelites.
但全会众说: “拿石头打死他们二人. ”忽然, 耶和华的荣光在会幕中向以色列众人显现.

14:11 And Yahweh said to Moses, “How long until this people will despise me, and how long until they will not believe in me, and in all the signs that I have done in their midst?
耶和华对摩西说: “这百姓藐视我要到几时呢? 我在他们中间行了这一切神蹟, 他们还不信我要到几时呢?

14:12 I will strike them with disease, and I will dispossess them; I will make you into a greater and stronger nation than them.”
我要用瘟疫击杀他们, 使他们不得承受那地, 叫你的后裔成为大国, 比他们强胜. ”

14:13 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear that you brought up this people from their midst in your power,
摩西对耶和华说: “埃及人必听见这事; 因为你曾施展大能, 将这百姓从他们中间领上来.

14:14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They heard that you, Yahweh, are in the midst of this people, that you are seen eye to eye, and your cloud is standing over them, and in a column of cloud you go before them by day and in a column of fire at night.
埃及人要将这事传给迦南地的居民; 那民已经听见你─耶和华是在这百姓中间; 因为你面对面被人看见, 有你的云彩停在他们以上. 你日间在云柱中, 夜间在火柱中, 在他们前面行.

14:15 But if you destroy this people all at once, the nations that will have heard your message will say,
如今你若把这百姓杀了, 如杀一人, 那些听见你名声的列邦必议论说:

14:16 ‘Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.’
‘耶和华因为不能把这百姓领进他向他们起誓应许之地, 所以在旷野把他们杀了. ’

14:17 But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke,
现在求主大显能力, 照你所说过的话说:

14:18 ‘Yahweh is slow to anger and great of loyal love, forgiving sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.’
‘耶和华不轻易发怒, 并有丰盛的慈爱, 赦免罪孽和过犯; 万不以有罪的为无罪, 必追讨他的罪, 自父及子, 直到三,四代. ’

14:19 Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you forgave this people, from Egypt until now.”
求你照你的大慈爱赦免这百姓的罪孽, 好像你从埃及到如今常赦免他们一样. ”

14:20 Yahweh said, “I have forgiven them according to your word;
耶和华说: “我照着你的话赦免了他们.

14:21 but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth.
然我指着我的永生起誓, 遍地要被我的荣耀充满.

14:22 But because all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the desert yet tested me these ten times and did not listen to my voice,
这些人虽看见我的荣耀和我在埃及与旷野所行的神蹟, 仍然试探我这十次, 不听从我的话,

14:23 they will not see the land that I swore by oath to their ancestors, and all those who despised me will not see it.
他们断不得看见我向他们的祖宗所起誓应许之地. 凡藐视我的, 一个也不得看见;

14:24 But my servant Caleb, because another spirit was with him, he remained true after me, and I will bring him into the land that he entered, and his offspring will take possession of it.
惟独我的仆人迦勒, 因他另有一个心志, 专一跟从我, 我就把他领进他所去过的那地; 他的后裔也必得那地为业.

14:25 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; tomorrow turn and set out for the desert by way of the Red Sea.”
亚玛力人和迦南人住在谷中, 明天你们要转回, 从红海的路往旷野去. ”

14:26 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华对摩西,亚伦说:

14:27 “How long will I bear this evil community who are grumbling against me? I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites which they are making against me.
“这恶会众向我发怨言, 我忍耐他们要到几时呢? 以色列人向我所发的怨言, 我都听见了.

14:28 Say to them, ‘Surely as I live,’ declares Yahweh, ‘just as you spoke in my hearing, so I will do to you;
你们告诉他们, 耶和华说: ‘我指着我的永生起誓, 我必要照你们达到我耳中的话待你们.

14:29 in this desert your corpses will fall, and all your counted ones, according to all your number, from twenty years old and above who grumbled against me.
你们的尸首必倒在这旷野, 并且你们中间凡被数点,从二十岁以外,向我发怨言的,

14:30 You yourselves will not come into the land that I swore by oath to make you to dwell in it, but Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
必不得进我起誓应许叫你们住的那地; 惟有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚才能进去.

14:31 But your little children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them, and they will know the land that you rejected.
但你们的妇人孩子, 就是你们所说,要被掳掠的, 我必把他们领进去, 他们就得知你们所厌弃的那地.

14:32 But for you, all your corpses will fall in this desert.
至于你们, 你们的尸首必倒在这旷野;

14:33 And your children will be shepherds in the desert forty years, and you will bear your unfaithfulness until all your corpses have fallen in the desert.
你们的儿女必在旷野飘流四十年, 担当你们淫行的罪, 直到你们的尸首在旷野消灭.

14:34 According to the number of the days that you explored the land, forty days, a day for each year, you will bear your sins forty years, and you will know my opposition.’
按你们窥探那地的四十日, 一年顶一日, 你们要担当罪孽四十年, 就知道我与你们疏远了,

14:35 I, Yahweh, have spoken; I will surely do this to all this evil community who has banded together against me. In this desert they will come to an end, and there they will die.”
我─耶和华说过, 我总要这样待这一切聚集敌我的恶会众; 他们必在这旷野消灭, 在这里死亡. ’”

14:36 As for the men whom Moses sent to explore the land, who returned and made the community grumble against him by spreading a report over the land,
摩西所打发,窥探那地的人回来, 报那地的恶信, 叫全会众向摩西发怨言,

14:37 the men who spread the evil report of the land died by the plague before Yahweh.
这些报恶信的人都遭瘟疫, 死在耶和华面前.

14:38 But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh lived from among the men who went to explore the land.
其中惟有嫩的儿子约书亚和耶孚尼的儿子迦勒仍然存活.

14:39 And Moses spoke words to all the Israelites, and the people mourned greatly.
摩西将这些话告诉以色列众人, 他们就甚悲哀.

14:40 They rose early in the morning and went to the top of the mount, saying, “Here we are. We will go up to the place that Yahweh said, because we have sinned.”
清早起来, 上山顶去, 说: “我们在这里, 我们有罪了; 情愿上耶和华所应许的地方去. ”

14:41 But Moses said, “Why are you going against the command of Yahweh? It will not succeed.
摩西说: “你们为何违背耶和华的命令呢? 这事不能顺利了.

14:42 You should not go up because Yahweh is not in your midst; do not let yourselves be defeated in the presence of your enemies,
不要上去; 因为耶和华不在你们中间, 恐怕你们被仇敌杀败了.

14:43 because the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will fall by the sword; because you have turned back from Yahweh, and Yahweh will not be with you.”
亚玛力人和迦南人都在你们面前, 你们必倒在刀下; 因你们退回不跟从耶和华, 所以他必不与你们同在. ”

14:44 But they dared to go to the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and Moses did not depart from the midst of the camp.
他们却擅敢上山顶去, 然而耶和华的约柜和摩西没有出营.

14:45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who were living on the mountain descended, and they beat them down, up to Hormah.
于是亚玛力人和住在那山上的迦南人都下来击打他们, 把他们杀退了, 直到何珥玛.

Numbers - Chapter 15

15:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

15:2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of your dwellings that I am about to give to you,
“你晓谕以色列人说: 你们到了我所赐给你们居住的地,

15:3 you will make an offering by fire for Yahweh from the cattle or from the flock, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering or at your feasts, to make a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
若愿意从牛群羊群中取牛羊作火祭, 献给耶和华, 无论是燔祭是平安祭, 为要还特许的愿, 或是作甘心祭, 或是逢你们节期献的, 都要奉给耶和华为馨香之祭.

15:4 And the one who presents an offering for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering of finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure of oil;
那献供物的就要将细面伊法十分之一, 并油一欣四分之一, 调和作素祭, 献给耶和华.

15:5 and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb.
无论是燔祭是平安祭, 你要为每只绵羊羔, 一同预备奠祭的酒一欣四分之一.

又用酒一欣三分之一作奠祭, 献给耶和华为馨香之祭.

15:8 When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a fellowship offering for Yahweh,
你预备公牛作燔祭, 或是作平安祭, 为要还特许的愿, 或是作平安祭, 献给耶和华,

15:9 you will present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with half a liquid measure of oil,
就要把细面伊法十分之三, 并油半欣, 调和作素祭, 和公牛一同献上,

15:10 and you will present half a liquid measure of wine as a libation, as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
又用酒半欣作奠祭, 献给耶和华为馨香的火祭.

15:11 “ ‘This is how it should be done for each bull, or for the each ram, or for the small four-footed mammal, or ram-lambs, or goats.
“献公牛,公绵羊,绵羊羔,山羊羔, 每只都要这样办理.

15:12 According to the number that you prepare, so should you do to each according to their number.
照你们所预备的数目, 按著只数都要这样办理.

15:13 Every native must do these things to present an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
凡本地人将馨香的火祭献给耶和华, 都要这样办理.

15:14 If an alien dwells among you, or whoever is in your midst throughout your generations, and prepares an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, he should do as you do.
若有外人和你们同居, 或有人世世代代住在你们中间, 愿意将馨香的火祭献给耶和华, 你们怎样办理, 他也要照样办理.

15:15 For the assembly, there will be one decree for you and for the alien who dwells among you; it is an eternal decree for all your generations. You as well as the alien will be before Yahweh.
至于会众, 你们和同居的外人都归一例, 作为你们世世代代永远的定例, 在耶和华面前, 你们怎样, 寄居的也要怎样.

15:16 There will be one law and one stipulation for you and for the alien dwelling among you.’ ”
你们并与你们同居的外人当有一样的条例, 一样的典章. ”

15:17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

15:18 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land to which I am about to bring you,
“你晓谕以色列人说: 你们到了我所领你们进去的那地,

15:19 whenever you eat from the food of the land, you will lift up a contribution to Yahweh.
吃那地的粮食, 就要把举祭献给耶和华.

15:20 You must lift up a contribution of the first batch of your ring-shaped dough bread; you must lift it up as a contribution of the threshing floor.
你们要用初熟的麦子磨面, 做饼当举祭奉献; 你们举上, 好像举禾场的举祭一样.

15:21 You will give to Yahweh a contribution from the first of your dough throughout your generations.
你们世世代代要用初熟的麦子磨面, 当举祭献给耶和华.

15:22 “ ‘But if you go astray and you do not follow all these commandments that Yahweh commanded to Moses,
“你们有错误的时候, 不守耶和华所晓谕摩西的这一切命令,

15:23 all that Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that Yahweh commanded and beyond, throughout your generations,
就是耶和华藉摩西一切所吩咐你们的, 自那日以至你们的世世代代,

15:24 and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the community, then the entire community must prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.
若有误行, 是会众所不知道的, 后来全会众就要将一只公牛犊作燔祭, 并照典章把素祭和奠祭一同献给耶和华为馨香之祭, 又献一只公山羊作赎罪祭.

15:25 The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering before Yahweh for their unintentional sin.
祭司要为以色列全会众赎罪, 他们就必蒙赦免, 因为这是错误. 他们又因自己的错误, 把供物, 就是向耶和华献的火祭和赎罪祭, 一并奉到耶和华面前.

15:26 All of the community of the Israelites will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.
以色列全会众和寄居在他们中间的外人就必蒙赦免, 因为这罪是百姓误犯的.

15:27 “ ‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.
“若有一个人误犯了罪, 他就要献一岁的母山羊作赎罪祭.

15:28 And the priest will make atonement for the person who sinned unintentionally before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
那误行的人犯罪的时候, 祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪, 他就必蒙赦免.

15:29 For the native among the Israelites and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.
以色列中的本地人和寄居在他们中间的外人, 若误行了甚么事, 必归一样的条例.

15:30 But the one who acts presumptuously from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.
但那擅敢行事的, 无论是本地人是寄居的, 他亵渎了耶和华, 必从民中剪除.

15:31 Because he despised the word of Yahweh and broke his command, that person will be surely cut off and bear the guilt.’ ”
因他藐视耶和华的言语, 违背耶和华的命令, 那人总要剪除; 他的罪孽要归到他身上. ”

15:32 When the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man who was gathering wood on the day of the Sabbath.
以色列人在旷野的时候, 遇见一个人在安息日捡柴.

15:33 The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to all the community.
遇见他捡柴的人, 就把他带到摩西,亚伦并全会众那里,

15:34 And they put him under watch because it was not made clear what should be done to him.
将他收在监内; 因为当怎样办他, 还没有指明.

15:35 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Surely the man must be put to death by stoning him; all the community must stone him with stones from outside the camp.”
耶和华吩咐摩西说: “总要把那人治死; 全会众要在营外用石头把他打死. ”

15:36 So the entire community brought him out to a place outside the camp, and they stoned him to death just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
于是全会众将他带到营外, 用石头打死他, 是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

15:37 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

15:38 “Speak to the Israelites, and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the hems of their garments throughout their generations and to put a blue cord on the tassel of the hem.
“你吩咐以色列人, 叫他们世世代代在衣服边上做䍁子, 又在底边的䍁子上钉一根蓝细带子.

15:39 You will have a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commands of Yahweh and do them, and not follow after the unfaithfulness of your own heart and eyes,
你们佩带这䍁子, 好叫你们看见就记念遵行耶和华一切的命令, 不随从自己的心意,眼目行邪淫, 像你们素常一样;

15:40 so that you will remember and do all my commandments, and you will be holy for your God.
使你们记念遵行我一切的命令, 成为圣洁, 归与你们的神.

15:41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am Yahweh your God.”
“我是耶和华─你们的神, 曾把你们从埃及地领出来, 要作你们的神. 我是耶和华─你们的神. ”

Numbers - Chapter 16

16:1 Now Korah son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, the descendants of Reuben,
利未的曾孙,哥辖的孙子,以斯哈的儿子可拉, 和流便子孙中以利押的儿子大坍,亚比兰, 与比勒的儿子安,

16:2 took two hundred and fifty men from the Israelites, leaders of the community summoned from the assembly, renowned men, and they confronted Moses.
并以色列会中的二百五十个首领, 就是有名望选入会中的人, 在摩西面前一同起来,

16:3 They were assembled in front of Moses and Aaron, and they said to them, “You take too much upon yourselves! All of the community is holy, every one of them, and Yahweh is in their midst, so why do you raise yourselves over the assembly of Yahweh?”
聚集攻击摩西,亚伦, 说: “你们擅自专权! 全会众个个既是圣洁, 耶和华也在他们中间, 你们为甚么自高, 超过耶和华的会众呢? ”

16:4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
摩西听见这话就俯伏在地,

16:5 And he said to Korah and to his entire company, saying, “Tomorrow morning Yahweh will make known who is his and who is holy, and he will bring him near to him, whomever he chooses he will bring near to him.
对可拉和他一党的人说: “到了早晨, 耶和华必指示谁是属他的, 谁是圣洁的, 就叫谁亲近他; 他所拣选的是谁, 必叫谁亲近他.

16:6 Do this: take for yourselves censers, Korah and all of your company;
可拉啊, 你们要这样行, 你和你的一党要拿香炉来.

16:7 tomorrow put fire in them and place incense on them before Yahweh; the man whom Yahweh chooses will be the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, sons of Levi!”
明日, 在耶和华面前, 把火盛在炉中, 把香放在其上. 耶和华拣选谁, 谁就为圣洁. 你们这利未的子孙擅自专权了! ”

16:8 And Moses said to Korah, “Please listen, sons of Levi!
摩西又对可拉说: “利未的子孙哪, 你们听我说!

16:9 Is it too little for you that the God of Israel set you apart from the community of Israel to allow you to approach him to do the work of the tabernacle of Yahweh, to stand before the community to serve them?
以色列的神从以色列会中将你们分别出来, 使你们亲近他, 办耶和华帐幕的事, 并站在会众面前替他们当差.

16:10 He has allowed you to approach him, you with all your brothers, the descendants of Levi, but yet you also seek the priesthood.
耶和华又使你和你一切弟兄─利未的子孙─一同亲近他, 这岂为小事? 你们还要求祭司的职任吗?

16:11 Therefore you and your company that has banded together against Yahweh. What is Aaron that you grumble against him?”
你和你一党的人聚集是要攻击耶和华. 亚伦算甚么, 你们竟向他发怨言呢? ”

16:12 Moses sent to call for Dathan and Abiram son of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come!
摩西打发人去召以利押的儿子大坍,亚比兰. 他们说: “我们不上去!

16:13 Is it too little that you have brought us from a land that flows with milk and honey to kill us in the desert, and that you also appoint yourself as a ruler over us?
你将我们从流奶与蜜之地领上来, 要在旷野杀我们, 这岂为小事? 你还要自立为王辖管我们吗?

16:14 Surely, you have not brought us to a land that flows with milk and honey, and you have not given us the inheritance of fields and a vineyard. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not come!”
并且你没有将我们领到流奶与蜜之地, 也没有把田地和葡萄园给我们为业. 难道你要剜这些人的眼睛吗? 我们不上去! ”

16:15 Then Moses became angry, and he said to Yahweh, “Do not notice their grain offering. I have not offered one donkey from them, and I have not mistreated one of them.”
摩西就甚发怒, 对耶和华说: “求你不要享受他们的供物. 我并没有夺过他们一匹驴, 也没有害过他们一个人. ”

16:16 And Moses said to Korah, “You and your entire company will be before Yahweh tomorrow, you and they and Aaron.
摩西对可拉说: “明天, 你和你一党的人, 并亚伦, 都要站在耶和华面前;

16:17 Each one take his censer, and put incense on it and you will present it before Yahweh, and each of you bring his censer, two hundred and fifty censers, you and Aaron, each his censer.”
各人要拿一个香炉, 共二百五十个, 把香放在上面, 到耶和华面前. 你和亚伦也各拿自己的香炉. ”

16:18 So each of them took his censer, and they put fire on them, and they placed incense on them; they stood at the doorway of the tent of the assembly of Moses and Aaron.
于是他们各人拿一个香炉, 盛上火, 加上香, 同摩西,亚伦站在会幕门前.

16:19 And Korah summoned them, the entire community, by the doorway of the tent of assembly, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to all the community.
可拉招聚全会众到会幕门前, 要攻击摩西,亚伦; 耶和华的荣光就向全会众显现.

16:20 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西,亚伦说:

16:21 “Separate yourselves from the midst of this community, that I can destroy them in a moment.”
“你们离开这会众, 我好在转眼之间把他们灭绝. ”

16:22 And they fell on their faces, and they said, “God, God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin and you become angry toward the entire community?”
摩西,亚伦就俯伏在地, 说: “神, 万人之灵的神啊, 一人犯罪, 你就要向全会众发怒吗? ”

16:23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

16:24 “Speak to the community, saying, ‘Move away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”
“你吩咐会众说: ‘你们离开可拉,大坍,亚比兰帐棚的四围. ’”

16:25 So Moses stood up and went to Dathan and Abiram; the elders of Israel followed after him.
摩西起来, 往大坍,亚比兰那里去; 以色列的长老也随着他去.

16:26 He said to the community, saying, “Please turn away from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be destroyed with all their sins.”
他吩咐会众说: “你们离开这恶人的帐棚吧, 他们的物件, 甚么都不可摸, 恐怕你们陷在他们的罪中, 与他们一同消灭. ”

16:27 And so they moved away from around the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out standing at the doorway of their tents, with their wives, sons, and little children.
于是众人离开可拉,大坍,亚比兰帐棚的四围. 大坍,亚比兰带着妻子,儿女,小孩子, 都出来, 站在自己的帐棚门口.

16:28 And Moses said, “In this you will know that Yahweh has sent me to do all these works; it is not from my heart.
摩西说: “我行的这一切事本不是凭我自己心意行的, 乃是耶和华打发我行的, 必有证据使你们知道.

16:29 If they die a natural death or if a natural fate is visited upon them, Yahweh has not sent me.
这些人死若与世人无异, 或是他们所遭的与世人相同, 就不是耶和华打发我来的.

16:30 But if Yahweh creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up and all that belongs to them, and they go down alive to Sheol, and you will know that these men have despised Yahweh.”
倘若耶和华创作一件新事, 使地开口, 把他们和一切属他们的都吞下去, 叫他们活活地坠落阴间, 你们就明白这些人是藐视耶和华了. ”

16:31 And it happened, as soon as he finished speaking all these words, the ground that was under them split open.
摩西刚说完了这一切话, 他们脚下的地就开了口,

16:32 The land opened its mouth and swallowed them up with their houses and every person that belonged to Korah and all the property.
把他们和他们的家眷, 并一切属可拉的人丁,财物, 都吞下去.

16:33 They went down alive to Sheol, they and all that belonged to them, and the land covered over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
这样, 他们和一切属他们的, 都活活地坠落阴间; 地口在他们上头照旧合闭, 他们就从会中灭亡.

16:34 All Israel who were around them fled at their cry, because they said, “Lest the land swallow us up!”
在他们四围的以色列众人听他们呼号, 就都逃跑, 说: “恐怕地也把我们吞下去. ”

16:35 And fire went out from Yahweh, and it consumed the two hundred and fifty men presenting the incense.
又有火从耶和华那里出来, 烧灭了那献香的二百五十个人.

16:36 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

16:37 “Say to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, ‘Take out the censers from among the place of burning because they are sacred, and scatter the fire outside.
“你吩咐祭司亚伦的儿子以利亚撒从火中捡起那些香炉来, 把火撒在别处, 因为那些香炉是圣的.

16:38 The censers of these who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into gilded leafing plating for the altar; because they presented them before Yahweh, they are holy; and they will be a sign for the Israelites.’ ”
把那些犯罪,自害己命之人的香炉, 叫人锤成片子, 用以包坛. 那些香炉本是他们在耶和华面前献过的, 所以是圣的, 并且可以给以色列人作记号. ”

16:39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that the ones who were burned presented, and they hammered them out thinly as plating for the altar;
于是祭司以利亚撒将被烧之人所献的铜香炉拿来, 人就锤出来, 用以包坛,

16:40 it was a memorial for the Israelites, so that no strange man who is not from the offspring of Aaron should approach the presence of Yahweh to burn a smoke offering; he will not be like Korah and his company, just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.
给以色列人作纪念, 使亚伦后裔之外的人不得近前来在耶和华面前烧香, 免得他遭可拉和他一党所遭的. 这乃是照耶和华藉著摩西所吩咐的.

16:41 The next day all the community of the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of Yahweh!”
第二天, 以色列全会众都向摩西,亚伦发怨言说: “你们杀了耶和华的百姓了. ”

16:42 Then, when the community had gathered against Moses and Aaron, they turned to the tent of assembly, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.
会众聚集攻击摩西,亚伦的时候, 向会幕观看, 不料, 有云彩遮盖了, 耶和华的荣光显现.

16:43 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of assembly,
摩西,亚伦就来到会幕前.

16:44 and Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华吩咐摩西说:

16:45 “Get away from the midst of this community, and I will finish them in an instant,” but they fell on their faces.
“你们离开这会众, 我好在转眼之间把他们灭绝. ”他们二人就俯伏于地.

16:46 And Moses and Aaron said, “Take the censer, and put fire on it from the altar. Place incense on it, and bring it quickly to the community, and make atonement for them, because wrath went out from the presence of Yahweh, and a plague has begun.”
摩西对亚伦说: “拿你的香炉, 把坛上的火盛在其中, 又加上香, 快快带到会众那里, 为他们赎罪; 因为有忿怒从耶和华那里出来, 瘟疫已经发作了. ”

16:47 And so Aaron took it just as Moses had spoken, and he ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold, the plague had begun among the people; so he gave the incense and made atonement for the people.
亚伦照着摩西所说的拿来, 跑到会中, 不料, 瘟疫在百姓中已经发作了. 他就加上香, 为百姓赎罪.

16:48 He stood between the dead and between the living, and the plague was stopped.
他站在活人死人中间, 瘟疫就止住了.

16:49 Those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Korah.
除了因可拉事情死的以外, 遭瘟疫死的, 共有一万四千七百人.

16:50 Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of assembly, and the plague was stopped.
亚伦回到会幕门口, 到摩西那里, 瘟疫已经止住了.

Numbers - Chapter 17

17:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华对摩西说:

17:2 “Speak to the Israelites, and take from among them twelve staffs, a staff from each family from among all their leaders according to their families’ households. Write the name of each man on his staff,
“你晓谕以色列人, 从他们手下取杖, 每支派一根; 从他们所有的首领, 按著支派, 共取十二根. 你要将各人的名字写在各人的杖上,

17:3 and the name of Aaron on the staff of Levi, because one staff is for the head of each of their families.
并要将亚伦的名字写在利未的杖上, 因为各族长必有一根杖.

17:4 You must then put them in the tent of assembly before the testimony where I meet with you.
你要把这些杖存在会幕内法柜前, 就是我与你们相会之处.

17:5 And it will happen, the man whom I will choose, his staff will blossom, and so I will rid from upon myself the grumblings of the Israelites, who are grumbling against you.”
后来我所拣选的那人, 他的杖必发芽. 这样, 我必使以色列人向你们所发的怨言止息, 不再达到我耳中. ”

17:6 Moses spoke to the Israelites, and all their leaders gave him a staff for each leader, one from each of their families, twelve staffs, and the staff of Aaron was in the midst of their tribes.
于是摩西晓谕以色列人, 他们的首领就把杖交给他, 按著支派, 每首领一根, 共有十二根; 亚伦的杖也在其中.

17:7 And Moses put the staffs before Yahweh in the tent of testimony.
摩西就把杖存在法柜的帐幕内, 在耶和华面前.

17:8 Then the next day, Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi blossomed and put forth a flower and produced blossoms, and it produced almonds.
第二天, 摩西进法柜的帐幕去. 谁知利未族亚伦的杖已经发了芽, 生了花苞, 开了花, 结了熟杏.

17:9 Then Moses brought out to all the Israelites all the staffs before the presence of Yahweh, and they saw, and each man took his staff.
摩西就把所有的杖从耶和华面前拿出来, 给以色列众人看; 他们看见了, 各首领就把自己的杖拿去.

17:10 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring back the staff of Aaron before the testimony as a guard and sign for the children of rebellion, and let them finish their grumblings before me and not die.”
耶和华吩咐摩西说: “把亚伦的杖还放在法柜前, 给这些背叛之子留作记号. 这样, 你就使他们向我发的怨言止息, 免得他们死亡. ”

17:11 So Moses did; just as Yahweh commanded him, so he did.
摩西就这样行. 耶和华怎样吩咐他, 他就怎样行了.

17:12 And the Israelites said to Moses, saying, “Look! We will die! We will be destroyed! All of us will perish!
以色列人对摩西说: “我们死啦! 我们灭亡啦! 都灭亡啦!

17:13 Anyone who approaches the tabernacle of Yahweh will die. Will we all die?”
凡挨近耶和华帐幕的是必死的. 我们都要死亡吗? ”

Numbers - Chapter 18

18:1 Yahweh said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your family with you will bear the guilt of the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you will bear the guilt of your priesthood.
耶和华对亚伦说: “你和你的儿子, 并你本族的人, 要一同担当干犯圣所的罪孽. 你和你的儿子也要一同担当干犯祭司职任的罪孽.

18:2 Moreover, bring your brothers with you, the tribe of Levi the tribe of your father, that they may be joined to you and minister to you, you and your sons with you before the tent of testimony.
你要带你弟兄利未人, 就是你祖宗支派的人前来, 使他们与你联合, 服事你, 只是你和你的儿子, 要一同在法柜的帐幕前供职.

18:3 They will keep your responsibility and the responsibility of all the tent, only they may not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, so both you and they will not die.
他们要守所吩咐你的, 并守全帐幕, 只是不可挨近圣所的器具和坛, 免得他们和你们都死亡.

18:4 They will be joined to you, and they will keep the responsibility of the tent of assembly for the entire service of the tent; a stranger may not come near you.
他们要与你联合, 也要看守会幕, 办理帐幕一切的事, 只是外人不可挨近你们.

18:5 You will keep the responsibility of the sanctuary and the responsibility of the altar, and there will no longer be wrath on the Israelites.
你们要看守圣所和坛, 免得忿怒再临到以色列人.

18:6 Look, I myself have chosen your brothers the Levites from the midst of the children. They are a gift to you given from Yahweh to perform the work of the tent of assembly.
我已将你们的弟兄利未人从以色列人中拣选出来归耶和华, 是给你们为赏赐的, 为要办理会幕的事.

18:7 But you with your sons will keep your priesthood to perform your priestly duties for everything at the altar and for the area behind the curtain. I give you the priesthood as a gift, but the stranger who approaches will be put to death.”
你和你的儿子要为一切属坛和幔子内的事一同守祭司的职任. 你们要这样供职; 我将祭司的职任给你们当作赏赐事奉我. 凡挨近的外人必被治死. ”

18:8 Yahweh spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I myself have given to you the responsibility of my contributions for all the holy objects of the Israelites; I have given them as a portion to you and your sons as an eternal decree.
耶和华晓谕亚伦说: “我已将归我的举祭, 就是以色列人一切分别为圣的物, 交给你经管; 因你受过膏, 把这些都赐给你和你的子孙, 当作永得的分.

18:9 This will be for you from the sanctuary of the holy things from the fire; all of their offerings, from every grain offering, from every sin offering, and from every guilt offering which they will bring to me is a most holy thing for you and your sons.
以色列人归给我至圣的供物, 就是一切的素祭,赎罪祭,赎愆祭, 其中所有存留不经火的, 都为至圣之物, 要归给你和你的子孙.

18:10 You will eat it in the most holy place; every male will eat it. It will be a holy object to you.
你要拿这些当至圣物吃; 凡男丁都可以吃. 你当以此物为圣.

18:11 This is also for you: the contribution of their gift of the wave offerings of the children Israel. I have given them to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; whoever is clean in your house may eat it.
以色列人所献的举祭并摇祭都是你的; 我已赐给你和你的儿女, 当作永得的分; 凡在你家中的洁净人都可以吃.

18:12 All the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and their best grain that they have given to Yahweh, I have given them to you.
凡油中,新酒中,五谷中至好的, 就是以色列人所献给耶和华初熟之物, 我都赐给你.

18:13 The firstfruits of all that is in their land that they present to Yahweh will be for you; whoever is clean in your house may eat it.
凡从他们地上所带来给耶和华初熟之物也都要归与你. 你家中的洁净人都可以吃.

18:14 All consecrated possessions in Israel will be for you.
以色列中一切永献的都必归与你.

18:15 All the first offspring of a womb of any creature that they offer to Yahweh, whether human or animal, will be yours; you will surely redeem the firstborn of the human and the unclean firstborn of the animal.
他们所有奉给耶和华的, 连人带牲畜, 凡头生的, 都要归给你; 只是人头生的, 总要赎出来; 不洁净牲畜头生的, 也要赎出来.

18:16 As to their price of redemption, from a one-month-old you will redeem them according to your proper value, five shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerah.
其中在一月之外所当赎的, 要照你所估定的价, 按圣所的平, 用银子五舍客勒赎出来(一舍客勒是二十季拉).

18:17 Only the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you will not redeem; they are holy. Their blood you will sprinkle over the altar, and their fat you will turn into smoke as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.
只是头生的牛, 或是头生的绵羊和山羊, 必不可赎, 都是圣的, 要把牠的血洒在坛上, 把牠的脂油焚烧, 当作馨香的火祭献给耶和华.

18:18 But their flesh will be for you like the breast section of the wave offering, and it will be for you like the right upper thigh.
牠的肉必归你, 像被摇的胸,被举的右腿归你一样.

18:19 All the contributions of holiness that the Israelites offer to Yahweh I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you as an eternal decree; it is an eternal covenant of salt before Yahweh to you and your offspring with you.”
凡以色列人所献给耶和华圣物中的举祭, 我都赐给你和你的儿女, 当作永得的分. 这是给你和你的后裔,在耶和华面前作为永远的盐约(盐就是不废坏的意思). ”

18:20 Then Yahweh said to Aaron, “You will not receive an inheritance in their land, and there will not be a plot of ground for you in the midst of the Israelites.
耶和华对亚伦说: “你在以色列人的境内不可有产业, 在他们中间也不可有分. 我就是你的分, 是你的产业. ”

18:21 “Behold, I have given to the descendants of Levi every tithe in Israel as an inheritance in return for their service, which they are doing, the work of the tent of assembly.
“凡以色列中出产的十分之一, 我已赐给利未的子孙为业; 因他们所办的是会幕的事, 所以赐给他们为酬他们的劳.

18:22 The Israelites will not come near again to the tent of assembly, or they will bear sin and die.
从今以后, 以色列人不可挨近会幕, 免得他们担罪而死.

18:23 The Levites will perform the service of the tent of assembly, and they will bear their guilt, an eternal decree for all your generations. But they will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites
惟独利未人要办会幕的事, 担当罪孽; 这要作你们世世代代永远的定例. 他们在以色列人中不可有产业;

18:24 because the tithes of the Israelites that are offered to Yahweh as a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I said to them, ‘They will not receive an inheritance in the midst of the Israelites.’ ”
因为以色列人中出产的十分之一, 就是献给耶和华为举祭的, 我已赐给利未人为业. 所以我对他们说: ‘在以色列人中不可有产业. ’”

18:25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华吩咐摩西说:

18:26 “You will speak to the Levites and say to them, ‘When you receive the tithe from the Israelites that I have given to you from them for your inheritance, you will present a contribution from it to Yahweh, a tithe from a tithe.
“你晓谕利未人说: 你们从以色列人中所取的十分之一, 就是我给你们为业的, 要再从那十分之一中取十分之一作为举祭献给耶和华,

18:27 Your contribution will be credited to you like the grain from the threshing floor and like the produce from the press.
这举祭要算为你们场上的谷, 又如满酒醡的酒.

18:28 So you will present your own contribution to Yahweh from all your tithes that you receive from the Israelites; from it you will give the contribution of Yahweh to Aaron the priest.
这样, 你们从以色列人中所得的十分之一也要作举祭献给耶和华, 从这十分之一中, 将所献给耶和华的举祭归给祭司亚伦.

18:29 From all your gifts you will present every contribution of Yahweh, from all its fat, the part that is sacred.’
奉给你们的一切礼物, 要从其中将至好的, 就是分别为圣的, 献给耶和华为举祭.

18:30 You will say to them, ‘When you are presenting its fat, the rest will be credited to the Levites like a yield of the threshing floor and like a yield from the press.
所以你要对利未人说: 你们从其中将至好的举起, 这就算为你们场上的粮, 又如酒醡的酒.

18:31 You may eat it anywhere, you and your household, because it is a wage in return for your service in the tent of assembly.
你们和你们家属随处可以吃; 这原是你们的赏赐, 是酬你们在会幕里办事的劳.

18:32 You will not bear any sin because you have presented its fat; you will not defile the holy objects of the Israelites, or you will die.’ ”
你们从其中将至好的举起, 就不致因这物担罪. 你们不可亵渎以色列人的圣物, 免得死亡. ”

Numbers - Chapter 19

19:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西,亚伦说:

19:2 “This is the decree of the law that Yahweh has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the Israelites and let them take to you a red heifer without a physical defect, on which a yoke has not been placed.
“耶和华命定律法中的一条律例乃是这样说: 你要吩咐以色列人, 把一只没有残疾,未曾负轭,纯红的母牛牵到你这里来,

19:3 And you will give it to Eleazar the priest, and it will be brought out to a place outside the camp, and it will be slaughtered in his presence.

祭司要把香柏木,牛膝草,朱红色线都丢在烧牛的火中.

19:7 The priest will wash his garments and his body in the water, and afterward he will come to the camp; the priest will be unclean until the evening.

19:8 The one who burns it will wash his garments and his body in water; he will be unclean until the evening.
烧牛的人必不洁净到晚上, 也要洗衣服, 用水洗身.

19:9 A clean man will gather the ashes of the heifer, and he will put them in a clean place outside the camp; it will be for the community of the Israelites as a requirement for waters of impurity; it is a purification offering.
必有一个洁净的人收起母牛的灰, 存在营外洁净的地方, 为以色列会众调做除污秽的水. 这本是除罪的.

19:10 The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer will wash his garments; he will be unclean until evening. It will be an eternal decree for the Israelites and for one who dwells as an alien in their midst.
收起母牛灰的人必不洁净到晚上, 要洗衣服. 这要给以色列人和寄居在他们中间的外人作为永远的定例. ”

“摸了人死尸的, 就必七天不洁净.

19:12 He will purify himself on the third day, and on the seventh day he will be clean. If he does not purify himself on the third day, he will not be clean on the seventh day.
那人到第三天要用这除污秽的水洁净自己, 第七天就洁净了. 他若在第三天不洁净自己, 第七天就不洁净了.

19:13 Anyone who touches a corpse, the person of a human being who died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Yahweh, and that person will be cut off from Israel because the waters of impurity were not sprinkled on him. He will still be unclean, and uncleanness is on him.
凡摸了人死尸,不洁净自己的, 就玷污了耶和华的帐幕, 这人必从以色列中剪除; 因为那除污秽的水没有洒在他身上, 他就为不洁净, 污秽还在他身上.

19:14 “ ‘This is the law of a person who dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and all who are in the tent will be unclean seven days.
“人死在帐棚里的条例乃是这样: 凡进那帐棚的, 和一切在帐棚里的, 都必七天不洁净.

19:15 Every container that is opened that does not have a lid cord on it is unclean.
凡敞口的器皿, 就是没有扎上盖的, 也是不洁净.

无论何人在田野里摸了被刀杀的, 或是尸首, 或是人的骨头, 或是坟墓, 就要七天不洁净.

19:17 For the unclean person they will take from the powder of the burnt purification offering, and they will put running water into a container.
要为这不洁净的人拿些烧成的除罪灰放在器皿里, 倒上活水.

19:18 A clean person will take hyssop and dip it into the water and sprinkle it on the tent and on all the objects and persons who were there, and on one who touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead, or the burial site.
必当有一个洁净的人拿牛膝草蘸在这水中, 把水洒在帐棚上, 和一切器皿并帐棚内的众人身上, 又洒在摸了骨头, 或摸了被杀的, 或摸了自死的, 或摸了坟墓的那人身上.

“但那污秽而不洁净自己的, 要将他从会中剪除, 因为他玷污了耶和华的圣所. 除污秽的水没有洒在他身上, 他是不洁净的.

19:21 “ ‘It will be an eternal decree for them. The one who spatters the waters of impurity will wash his garments, and the one who touches the waters of impurity will be unclean until the evening.
这要给你们作为永远的定例. 并且那洒除污秽水的人要洗衣服. 凡摸除污秽水的, 必不洁净到晚上.

19:22 Anything that the unclean person touches will be unclean, and the person who touches it will be unclean until the evening.’ ”
不洁净人所摸的一切物就不洁净; 摸了这物的人必不洁净到晚上. ”

Numbers - Chapter 20

20:1 Then the entire community of the Israelites came to the desert of Zin on the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; Miriam died and was buried there.
正月间, 以色列全会众到了寻的旷野, 就住在加低斯. 米利暗死在那里, 就葬在那里.

20:2 There was no water for the community, and they were gathered before Moses and Aaron.
会众没有水喝, 就聚集攻击摩西,亚伦.

20:3 And the people quarreled with Moses and spoke, saying, “If only we died when our brothers were dying before Yahweh!
百姓向摩西争闹说: “我们的弟兄曾死在耶和华面前, 我们恨不得与他们同死.

20:4 Why have you brought the assembly of Yahweh, us and our livestock, into this desert to die here?
你们为何把耶和华的会众领到这旷野,使我们和牲畜都死在这里呢?

20:5 Why have you brought us from Egypt to bring us to this bad place? It is not a place of seed or figs or vines or pomegranate trees, and there is not water to drink.”
你们为何逼着我们出埃及,领我们到这坏地方呢? 这地方不好撒种, 也没有无花果树,葡萄树,石榴树, 又没有水喝. ”

20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of assembly. They fell on their faces, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them.
摩西,亚伦离开会众, 到会幕门口, 俯伏在地; 耶和华的荣光向他们显现.

20:7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

20:8 “Take the staff and summon the community, you and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will give water. Bring out for them water from the rock, and let the community and their livestock drink.”
“你拿着杖去, 和你的哥哥亚伦招聚会众, 在他们眼前吩咐磐石发出水来, 水就从磐石流出, 给会众和他们的牲畜喝. ”

20:9 So Moses took the staff from before Yahweh just as he command him,
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的, 从耶和华面前取了杖去.

20:10 and Moses and Aaron summoned the assembly to the presence of the rock, and he said to them, “Please listen, you rebels; can we bring out water for you from this rock?”
摩西,亚伦就招聚会众到磐石前. 摩西说: “你们这些背叛的人听我说: 我为你们使水从这磐石中流出来吗? ”

20:11 Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice. And abundant water went out, and the community and their livestock drank.
摩西举手, 用杖击打磐石两下, 就有许多水流出来, 会众和他们的牲畜都喝了.

20:12 But Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you have not trusted in me, to regard me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land that I have given to them.”
耶和华对摩西,亚伦说: “因为你们不信我, 不在以色列人眼前尊我为圣, 所以你们必不得领这会众进我所赐给他们的地去. ”

20:13 Those were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with Yahweh, and he showed himself holy among them.
这水名叫米利巴水(米利巴就是争闹的意思), 是因以色列人向耶和华争闹, 耶和华就在他们面前显为圣.

20:14 From Kadesh Moses sent messengers to the king of Edom: “Thus your brother Israel has said, ‘You know all the hardship that has found us;
摩西从加低斯差遣使者去见以东王, 说: “你的弟兄以色列人这样说: ‘我们所遭遇的一切艰难,

20:15 our ancestors went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians mistreated us and our ancestors.
就是我们的列祖下到埃及, 我们在埃及久住; 埃及人恶待我们的列祖和我们,

20:16 Then we cried to Yahweh, and he heard our voice; he sent an angel and brought us out from Egypt. And look, we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
我们哀求耶和华的时候, 他听了我们的声音, 差遣使者把我们从埃及领出来. 这事你都知道. 如今, 我们在你边界上的城加低斯.

20:17 Please let us go through your land. We will not go through a field or vineyard, and we will not drink water from a well. We will go along the road of the king; we will not turn aside right or left until we have gone through your territory.’ ”
求你容我们从你的地经过. 我们不走田间和葡萄园, 也不喝井里的水, 只走大道(原文是王道), 不偏左右, 直到过了你的境界. ’”

20:18 Then Edom said to him, “You will not pass through us lest we will go out to meet you with the sword.”
以东王说: “你不可从我的地经过, 免得我带刀出去攻击你. ”

20:19 The Israelites said to him, “We will go up on the main road, and if we and our livestock drink your water, we will pay for it. It is only a small matter; let us pass through on our feet.”
以色列人说: “我们要走大道上去; 我们和牲畜若喝你的水, 必给你价值. 不求别的, 只求你容我们步行过去. ”

20:20 But he said, “You will not go through.” And Edom went out to meet them with a large army and a strong hand.
以东王说: “你们不可经过! ”就率领许多人出来, 要用强硬的手攻击以色列人.

20:21 So Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, and Israel turned aside from him.
这样, 以东王不肯容以色列人从他的境界过去. 于是他们转去, 离开他.

20:22 And they set out from Kadesh. The Israelites, the whole community, came to Mount Hor.
以色列全会众从加低斯起行, 到了何珥山.

20:23 Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron on Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Edom, saying,
耶和华在附近以东边界的何珥山上晓谕摩西,亚伦说:

20:24 “Let Aaron be gathered to his people; he will not come into the land that I have given to the Israelites because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
“亚伦要归到他列祖(原文是本民)那里. 他必不得入我所赐给以色列人的地; 因为在米利巴水, 你们违背了我的命.

20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and take them up Mount Hor.
你带亚伦和他的儿子以利亚撒上何珥山,

20:26 Strip off Aaron’s garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; Aaron will be gathered to his people, and he will die there.”
把亚伦的圣衣脱下来, 给他的儿子以利亚撒穿上; 亚伦必死在那里, 归他列祖. ”

20:27 So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the community.
摩西就照耶和华所吩咐的行. 三人当着会众的眼前上了何珥山.

20:28 And Moses stripped off Aaron’s garments and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain; and Moses and Eleazar went down from the mountain.
摩西把亚伦的圣衣脱下来, 给他的儿子以利亚撒穿上, 亚伦就死在山顶那里. 于是摩西和以利亚撒下了山.

20:29 All the community saw that Aaron died; so all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.
全会众, 就是以色列全家, 见亚伦已经死了, 便都为亚伦哀哭了三十天.

Numbers - Chapter 21

21:1 The Canaanite king of Arad, who was dwelling in the Negev, heard that Israel came along the way of Atharim; he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
住南地的迦南人亚拉得王, 听说以色列人从亚他林路来, 就和以色列人争战, 掳了他们几个人.

21:2 Israel made a vow to Yahweh, and they said, “If you will surely give this people into our hand, then we will destroy their cities.”
以色列人向耶和华发愿说: “你若将这民交付我手, 我就把他们的城邑尽行毁灭. ”

21:3 Yahweh heard the voice of Israel; he gave to them the Canaanites, and they destroyed them and their cities. They called the name of the place Hormah.
耶和华应允了以色列人, 把迦南人交付他们, 他们就把迦南人和迦南人的城邑尽行毁灭. 那地方的名便叫何珥玛(就是毁灭的意思).

21:4 They set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient along the way.
他们从何珥山起行, 往红海那条路走, 要绕过以东地. 百姓因这路难行, 心中甚是烦躁,

21:5 The people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us from Egypt to die in the desert? There is no food and no water, and our hearts detest this miserable food.”
就怨讟神和摩西说: “你们为甚么把我们从埃及领出来,使我们死在旷野呢? 这里没有粮, 没有水, 我们的心厌恶这淡薄的食物. ”

21:6 And Yahweh sent among the people poisonous snakes; they bit the people, and many people from Israel died.
于是耶和华使火蛇进入百姓中间, 蛇就咬他们. 以色列人中死了许多.

21:7 The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh and let him remove the snakes from among us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
百姓到摩西那里, 说: “我们怨讟耶和华和你, 有罪了. 求你祷告耶和华, 叫这些蛇离开我们. ”于是摩西为百姓祷告.

21:8 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Make for yourself a snake and place it on a pole. When anyone is bitten and looks at it, that person will live.”
耶和华对摩西说: “你制造一条火蛇, 挂在杆子上; 凡被咬的, 一望这蛇, 就必得活. ”

21:9 So Moses made a snake of bronze, and he placed it on the pole; whenever a snake bit someone, and that person looked at the snake of bronze, he lived.
摩西便制造一条铜蛇, 挂在杆子上; 凡被蛇咬的, 一望这铜蛇就活了.

21:10 The Israelites set out and encamped at Oboth.
以色列人起行, 安营在阿伯.

21:11 They set out from Oboth and encamped at Iye Abarim in the desert, which was in front of Moab toward the sunrise.
又从阿伯起行, 安营在以耶‧亚巴琳, 与摩押相对的旷野, 向日出之地.

21:12 From there they set out and encamped at the valley of Zered.
从那里起行, 安营在撒烈谷.

21:13 From there they set out and encamped beyond Arnon, which is in the desert that goes out from the boundary of the Amorites, because Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
从那里起行, 安营在亚嫩河那边. 这亚嫩河是在旷野, 从亚摩利的境界流出来的; 原来亚嫩河是摩押的边界, 在摩押和亚摩利人搭界的地方.

21:14 Therefore thus it is said in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “Waheb in Suphah, and the wadis of Arnon,
所以耶和华的战记上说: “苏法的哇哈伯与亚嫩河的谷,

21:15 and the slope of the wadis that spreads out to the dwelling of Ar and lies at the boundary of Moab.”
并向亚珥城众谷的下坡, 是靠近摩押的境界. ”

21:16 From there they went to Beer, which is the water well where Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Gather the people, that I may give them water.”
以色列人从那里起行, 到了比珥(就是井的意思). 从前耶和华吩咐摩西说: “招聚百姓, 我好给他们水喝”, 说的就是这井.

21:17 Then Israel sang this song, “Arise, well water! Sing to it!
当时, 以色列人唱歌说: 井啊, 涌上水来! 你们要向这井歌唱.

21:18 Well water that the princes dug, that the leaders of the people dug, with a staff and with their rods.” And from the desert they continued to Mattanah,
这井是首领和民中的尊贵人用圭用杖所挖所掘的. 以色列人从旷野往玛他拿去,

21:19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
从玛他拿到拿哈列, 从拿哈列到巴末,

21:20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the territory of Moab, by the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the surface of the wasteland.
从巴末到摩押地的谷, 又到那下望旷野之毘斯迦的山顶.

21:21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying,
以色列人差遣使者去见亚摩利人的王西宏, 说:

21:22 “Let us go through your land; we will not turn aside into a field or vineyard; we will not drink well water along the way of the king until we have gone through your territory.”
“求你容我们从你的地经过; 我们不偏入田间和葡萄园, 也不喝井里的水, 只走大道(原文是王道), 直到过了你的境界. ”

21:23 But Sihon did not allow Israel to go through his territory. Sihon gathered all his people and went out to meet Israel; he came to the desert, to Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.
西宏不容以色列人从他的境界经过, 就招聚他的众民出到旷野, 要攻击以色列人, 到了雅杂与以色列人争战.

21:24 But Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and they took possession of his land from Arnon to Jabbok, until the Ammonites, because the boundary of the Ammonites was strong.
以色列人用刀杀了他, 得了他的地, 从亚嫩河到雅博河, 直到亚扪人的境界, 因为亚扪人的境界多有坚垒.

21:25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel inhabited all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its environs.
以色列人夺取这一切的城邑, 也住亚摩利人的城邑, 就是希实本与希实本的一切乡村.

21:26 Because Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land from his hand until Arnon.
这希实本是亚摩利王西宏的京城; 西宏曾与摩押的先王争战, 从他手中夺取了全地, 直到亚嫩河.

21:27 Thus the ones who quote proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! And let the city of Sihon be established.
所以那些作诗歌的说: 你们来到希实本; 愿西宏的城被修造, 被建立.

21:28 Because fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of Arnon.
因为有火从希实本发出, 有火焰出于西宏的城, 烧尽摩押的亚珥和亚嫩河邱坛的祭司(祭司原文是主).

21:29 Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
摩押啊, 你有祸了! 基抹的民哪, 你们灭亡了! 基抹的男子逃奔, 女子被掳, 交付亚摩利的王西宏.

21:30 We destroyed them; Heshbon has perished up to Dibon; we laid waste up to Nophah, which reaches Medeba.”
我们射了他们; 希实本直到底本尽皆毁灭. 我们使地变成荒场, 直到挪法; 这挪法直延到米底巴.

21:31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
这样, 以色列人就住在亚摩利人之地.

21:32 Moses sent to explore Jaazer; they captured its environs and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
摩西打发人去窥探雅谢, 以色列人就占了雅谢的镇市, 赶出那里的亚摩利人.

21:33 Then they turned and went up by the way of the Bashan, and Og king of the Bashan and all his people went out to meet them for battle at Edrei.
以色列人转回, 向巴珊去. 巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来, 在以得来与他们交战.

21:34 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him because I will give him and all his people and all his land into your hand. You will do to him just as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon.”
耶和华对摩西说: “不要怕他! 因我已将他和他的众民, 并他的地, 都交在你手中; 你要待他像从前待住希实本的亚摩利王西宏一般. ”

21:35 And so they destroyed him and his sons, and all his people until they had not spared a survivor; and they took possession of his land.
于是他们杀了他和他的众子, 并他的众民, 没有留下一个, 就得了他的地.

Numbers - Chapter 22

22:1 The Israelites set out, and they encamped on the desert-plateau of Moab, across from Jericho beyond the Jordan.
以色列人起行, 在摩押平原,约旦河东, 对着耶利哥安营.

22:2 Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel did to the Amorites,
以色列人向亚摩利人所行的一切事, 西拨的儿子巴勒都看见了.

22:3 and Moab was very terrified in the presence of the people because they were numerous; and Moab dreaded the presence of the Israelites.
摩押人因以色列民甚多, 就大大惧怕, 心内忧急,

22:4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now the crowd will lick up all around us, like a bull devours the grass of the field.” And Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
对米甸的长老说: “现在这众人要把我们四围所有的一概餂尽, 就如牛餂尽田间的草一般. ”那时西拨的儿子巴勒作摩押王.

22:5 He sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the river, in the land of the children of his people, to summon him, saying, “Look! A people went out from Egypt. Look! They cover the surface of the land; they are about to dwell opposite me.
他差遣使者往大河边的毘夺去, 到比珥的儿子巴兰本乡那里, 召巴兰来, 说: “有一宗民从埃及出来, 遮满地面, 与我对居.

22:6 Now, please go, curse this people for me because they are stronger than me; perhaps I will be able to strike them and drive them out from the land because I know whoever you bless is blessed, and whoever you cursed is cursed.”
这民比我强盛, 现在求你来为我咒诅他们, 或者我能得胜, 攻打他们, 赶出此地. 因为我知道, 你为谁祝福, 谁就得福; 你咒诅谁, 谁就受咒诅. ”

22:7 So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian went with a fee for divination in their hand; they came to Balaam and spoke the words of Balak to him.
摩押的长老和米甸的长老手里拿着卦金, 到了巴兰那里, 将巴勒的话都告诉了他.

22:8 He said to them, “Spend the night here, and I will return, and I will return word to you, just as Yahweh speaks to me.” So the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
巴兰说: “你们今夜在这里住宿, 我必照耶和华所晓谕我的回报你们. ”摩押的使臣就在巴兰那里住下了.

22:9 And God came to Balaam and said, “Who are these men with you?”
神临到巴兰那里, 说: “在你这里的人都是谁? ”

22:10 And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent word to me,
巴兰回答说: “是摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒打发人到我这里来, 说:

22:11 ‘Look! A people went out from Egypt. Look! They cover the surface of the land. Now, go, curse them for me. Perhaps I will be able to attack them and drive them out.”
‘从埃及出来的民遮满地面, 你来为我咒诅他们, 或者我能与他们争战, 把他们赶出去. ’”

22:12 God said to Balaam, “You will not go with them; you will not curse the people, because they are blessed.”
神对巴兰说: “你不可同他们去, 也不可咒诅那民, 因为那民是蒙福的. ”

22:13 Balaam got up in the morning, and he said to the princes of Balak, “Go to your land, because Yahweh refused to allow me to go with you.”
巴兰早晨起来, 对巴勒的使臣说: “你们回本地去吧, 因为耶和华不容我和你们同去. ”

22:14 The princes of Moab got up and went to Balak, and they said, “Balaam refused to come with us.”
摩押的使臣就起来, 回巴勒那里去, 说: “巴兰不肯和我们同来. ”

22:15 Balak again sent many princes, who were more honored than the former.
巴勒又差遣使臣, 比先前的又多又尊贵.

22:16 They came to Balaam and said to him, “Thus says Balak son of Zippor, ‘Please, let nothing keep you from coming to me
他们到了巴兰那里, 对他说: “西拨的儿子巴勒这样说: ‘求你不容甚么事拦阻你不到我这里来,

22:17 because I will surely honor you greatly, and all that you say to me I will do. Please, come; curse this people for me.’ ”
因为我必使你得极大的尊荣. 你向我要甚么, 我就给你甚么; 只求你来为我咒诅这民. ’”

22:18 Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, “Even though Balak gives to me his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the command of Yahweh my God to do a little or a lot.
巴兰回答巴勒的臣仆说: “巴勒就是将他满屋的金银给我, 我行大事小事也不得越过耶和华─我神的命.

22:19 And now please, you also stay here the night, and let me find out again what Yahweh will say with me.”
现在我请你们今夜在这里住宿, 等我得知耶和华还要对我说甚么. ”

22:20 And God came to Balaam at night, and he said to him, “If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them; but only the word that I will speak to you, you will do.”
当夜, 神临到巴兰那里, 说: “这些人若来召你, 你就起来同他们去, 你只要遵行我对你所说的话. ”

22:21 So Balaam got up in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he went with the princes of Moab.
巴兰早晨起来, 备上驴, 和摩押的使臣一同去了.

22:22 But God became angry because he was going, and the angel of Yahweh stood in the road as an adversary to him; he was riding on his donkey, and two servants were with him.
神因他去就发了怒; 耶和华的使者站在路上敌挡他. 他骑著驴, 有两个仆人跟随他.

22:23 The donkey saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, and the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. And Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back to the road.
驴看见耶和华的使者站在路上, 手里有拔出来的刀, 就从路上跨进田间, 巴兰便打驴, 要叫牠回转上路.

22:24 The angel of Yahweh stood in the narrow path of the vineyards, with a wall on either side.
耶和华的使者就站在葡萄园的窄路上; 这边有墙, 那边也有墙.

22:25 When the donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, she pressed herself into the wall, and she pressed the foot of Balaam into the wall, so he struck her again.
驴看见耶和华的使者, 就贴靠墙, 将巴兰的脚挤伤了; 巴兰又打驴.

22:26 Then the angel of Yahweh went further ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was not a way to turn aside to the right or left.
耶和华的使者又往前去, 站在狭窄之处, 左右都没有转折的地方.

22:27 When the donkey saw the angel of Yahweh, she lay down under Balaam, so Balaam became angry, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
驴看见耶和华的使者, 就卧在巴兰底下, 巴兰发怒, 用杖打驴.

22:28 Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What did I do to you that you struck me these three times?”
耶和华叫驴开口, 对巴兰说: “我向你行了甚么, 你竟打我这三次呢? ”

22:29 Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you made a mockery of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now!”
巴兰对驴说: “因为你戏弄我, 我恨不能手中有刀, 把你杀了. ”

22:30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life until this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?” He said, “No.”
驴对巴兰说: “我不是你从小时直到今日所骑的驴吗? 我素常向你这样行过吗? ”巴兰说: “没有. ”

22:31 Then Yahweh exposed the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yahweh standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, and he bowed down and worshiped to his face.
当时, 耶和华使巴兰的眼目明亮, 他就看见耶和华的使者站在路上, 手里有拔出来的刀, 巴兰便低头俯伏在地.

22:32 The angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why have you struck this donkey three times? Look, I have come out as an adversary because your conduct is perverse before me.
耶和华的使者对他说: “你为何这三次打你的驴呢? 我出来敌挡你, 因你所行的, 在我面前偏僻.

22:33 The donkey saw me and turned aside from me these three times. If she had not turned aside from my face, then I would have killed you and kept her alive.”
驴看见我就三次从我面前偏过去; 驴若没有偏过去, 我早把你杀了, 留牠存活. ”

22:34 Balaam said to the angel of Yahweh, “I have sinned because I did not know that you were standing to meet me in the road. Now, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back.”
巴兰对耶和华的使者说: “我有罪了. 我不知道你站在路上阻挡我; 你若不喜欢我去, 我就转回. ”

22:35 The angel of Yahweh said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but speak only the word that I will speak to you.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
耶和华的使者对巴兰说: “你同这些人去吧! 你只要说我对你说的话. ”于是巴兰同著巴勒的使臣去了.

22:36 When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him by the city of Moab, which was on the boundary of Aaron at the end of the territory.
巴勒听见巴兰来了, 就往摩押京城去迎接他; 这城是在边界上, 在亚嫩河旁.

22:37 And Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not urgently send to meet with you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really not able to honor you?”
巴勒对巴兰说: “我不是急急地打发人到你那里去召你吗? 你为何不到我这里来呢? 我岂不能使你得尊荣吗? ”

22:38 Balaam said to Balak, “Look, I came to you now. Am I really able to speak anything at all? I speak the word that God puts in my mouth.”
巴兰说: “我已经到你这里来了! 现在我岂能擅自说甚么呢? 神将甚么话传给我, 我就说甚么. ”

22:39 Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-Huzoth.
巴兰和巴勒同行, 来到基列‧胡琐.

22:40 And Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and he sent them to Balaam and to the princes who were with him.
巴勒宰了(原文是献)牛羊, 送给巴兰和陪伴的使臣.

22:41 And it happened, in the morning Balak took Balaam and took him up to Bamoth-Baal, and he saw from there the end of the nation.
到了早晨, 巴勒领巴兰到巴力的高处; 巴兰从那里观看以色列营的边界.

Numbers - Chapter 23

23:1 Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me this: seven altars. And prepare for me this: seven bulls and seven rams.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “你在这里给我筑七座坛, 为我预备七只公牛, 七只公羊. ”

23:2 And Balak did just as Balaam spoke, and Balak offered Balaam a bull and a ram on the altar.
巴勒照巴兰的话行了. 巴勒和巴兰在每座坛上献一只公牛, 一只公羊.

23:3 And Balaam said to Balak, “Station yourself at your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me, and whatever he shows me I will tell to you.” So he went to a barren height.
巴兰对巴勒说: “你站在你的燔祭旁边, 我且往前去, 或者耶和华来迎见我. 他指示我甚么, 我必告诉你. ”于是巴兰上一净光的高处.

23:4 And God met with Balaam, and he said to him, “I have arranged seven altars, and I have offered a bull and a ram on the altar.”
神迎见巴兰; 巴兰说: “我预备了七座坛, 在每座坛上献了一只公牛, 一只公羊. ”

23:5 Yahweh put a word in the mouth of Balaam and said, “Return to Balak, and you must speak thus.”
耶和华将话传给巴兰, 又说: “你回到巴勒那里, 要如此如此说. ”

23:6 So he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the leaders of Moab.
他就回到巴勒那里, 见他同摩押的使臣都站在燔祭旁边.

23:7 And he lifted up his oracle and said, “From Aram Balak lead me, from the mountains of the east the king of Moab, ‘Go for me, curse Jacob, and go, denounce Israel.’
巴兰便题起诗歌说: 巴勒引我出亚兰, 摩押王引我出东山, 说: 来啊, 为我咒诅雅各; 来啊, 怒骂以色列.

23:8 How can I curse whom God has not cursed, and how can I denounce whom Yahweh has not denounced?
神没有咒诅的, 我焉能咒诅? 耶和华没有怒骂的, 我焉能怒骂?

23:9 Because from the top of the rocks I see him, from hilltops I watch him. Behold, a people who dwell alone, they do not consider themselves among the nations.
我从高峰看他, 从小山望他; 这是独居的民, 不列在万民中.

23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, or as a number the fourth part of Israel? Let my life die the death of an upright person, and let my end be like his!”
谁能数点雅各的尘土? 谁能计算以色列的四分之一? 我愿如义人之死而死; 我愿如义人之终而终.

23:11 And Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and look, you have surely blessed them!”
巴勒对巴兰说: “你向我做的是甚么事呢? 我领你来咒诅我的仇敌, 不料, 你竟为他们祝福. ”

23:12 He answered and said, “Should I not speak what Yahweh puts in my mouth?”
他回答说: “耶和华传给我的话, 我能不谨慎传说吗? ”

23:13 Then Balak said, “Please walk with me to another place where you will see them, but you will only see part of them and will not see all of them; and curse them for me from there.”
巴勒说: “求你同我往别处去, 在那里可以看见他们; 你不能全看见, 只能看见他们边界上的人. 在那里要为我咒诅他们. ”

23:14 So he took him to the field of Zophim to the top of Pisgah, and he built seven altars, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
于是领巴兰到了琐腓田, 上了毘斯迦山顶, 筑了七座坛; 每座坛上献一只公牛, 一只公羊.

23:15 Balaam said to Balak, “Station yourself here at the burnt offering while I myself meet with Yahweh there.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “你站在这燔祭旁边, 等我往那边去迎见耶和华. ”

23:16 Then Yahweh met with Balaam, and he put a word in his mouth, and he said, “Return to Balak, and you must speak thus.”
耶和华临到巴兰那里, 将话传给他; 又说: “你回到巴勒那里, 要如此如此说. ”

他就回到巴勒那里, 见他站在燔祭旁边; 摩押的使臣也和他在一处. 巴勒问他说: “耶和华说了甚么话呢? ”

23:18 Then he uttered his oracle, and said, “Stand up, Balak, and hear; listen to me, son of Zippor!
巴兰就题诗歌说: 巴勒, 你起来听; 西拨的儿子, 你听我言.

23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of humankind, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? And has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
神非人, 必不致说谎, 也非人子, 必不致后悔. 他说话岂不照着行呢? 他发言岂不要成就呢?

23:20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; when he has blessed, I cannot cause it to return.
我奉命祝福; 神也曾赐福, 此事我不能翻转.

23:21 He has no regard for evil in Jacob, and he does not see trouble in Israel; Yahweh his God is with him, and a shout of a king is among them.
他未见雅各中有罪孽, 也未见以色列中有奸恶. 耶和华─他的神和他同在; 有欢呼王的声音在他们中间.

23:22 God, who brings them out from Egypt, is like the strength of a wild ox for them.
神领他们出埃及; 他们似乎有野牛之力.

23:23 Because there is no sorcery against Jacob, and there is no divination against Israel. Now it will be said to Jacob and Israel, what God has done!
断没有法术可以害雅各, 也没有占卜可以害以色列. 现在必有人论及雅各, 就是论及以色列说: 神为他行了何等的大事!

23:24 Look! the people will rise like the lion; he raises himself and will not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.”
这民起来, 仿佛母狮, 挺身, 好像公狮, 未曾吃野食, 未曾喝被伤者之血, 决不躺卧.

23:25 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Do not curse them at all, nor bless them at all!”
巴勒对巴兰说: “你一点不要咒诅他们, 也不要为他们祝福. ”

23:26 But Balaam answered and said to Balak, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Whatever Yahweh speaks I will do’?”
巴兰回答巴勒说: “我岂不是告诉你说‘凡耶和华所说的, 我必须遵行’吗? ”

23:27 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Please, come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be acceptable to God, and you will curse for me from there.”
巴勒对巴兰说: “来吧, 我领你往别处去, 或者神喜欢你在那里为我咒诅他们. ”

23:28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, which looks down on the face of the Jeshimon.
巴勒就领巴兰到那下望旷野的毘珥山顶上.

23:29 And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me these seven altars, and prepare for me these seven bulls and seven rams.”
巴兰对巴勒说: “你在这里为我筑七座坛, 又在这里为我预备七只公牛, 七只公羊. ”

23:30 Balak did just as Balaam said, and he offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
巴勒就照巴兰的话行, 在每座坛上献一只公牛, 一只公羊.

Numbers - Chapter 24

24:1 And Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, and he did not go as other times to seek out sorcery; instead, he set his face toward the desert.
巴兰见耶和华喜欢赐福与以色列, 就不像前两次去求法术, 却面向旷野.

24:2 Balaam lift up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to its tribes, and the spirit of God was upon it.
巴兰举目, 看见以色列人照着支派居住. 神的灵就临到他身上,

24:3 He uttered his oracle and said, “The declaration of Balaam son Beor, the declaration of the man whose eyes are closed,
他便题起诗歌说: 比珥的儿子巴兰说, 眼目闭住(或译: 睁开)的人说,

24:4 the declaration of the hearer of God’s words, who sees the revelation of Shaddai, falling down but whose eyes are uncovered.

水要从他的桶里流出; 种子要撒在多水之处. 他的王必超过亚甲; 他的国必要振兴.

神领他出埃及; 他似乎有野牛之力. 他要吞吃敌国, 折断他们的骨头, 用箭射透他们.

他蹲如公狮, 卧如母狮, 谁敢惹他? 凡给你祝福的, 愿他蒙福; 凡咒诅你的, 愿他受咒诅.

巴勒向巴兰生气, 就拍起手来, 对巴兰说: “我召你来为我咒诅仇敌, 不料, 你这三次竟为他们祝福.

如今你快回本地去吧! 我想使你得大尊荣, 耶和华却阻止你不得尊荣. ”

巴兰对巴勒说: “我岂不是对你所差遣到我那里的使者说:

24:13 ‘If Balak gave to me the fullness of his house full of silver and gold, I am not able to go beyond the command of Yahweh to do good or evil, from my heart; what Yahweh speaks, I will speak’?
‘巴勒就是将他满屋的金银给我, 我也不得越过耶和华的命, 凭自己的心意行好行歹. 耶和华说甚么, 我就要说甚么’? ”

24:14 And now, look, I am about to go to my people; I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the following days.”
“现在我要回本族去. 你来, 我告诉你这民日后要怎样待你的民. ”

他就题起诗歌说: 比珥的儿子巴兰说: 眼目闭住(或译: 睁开)的人说,

24:16 the declaration of the hearer of God’s words, and the knower of the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of Shaddai, who is falling, and his eyes are revealed.
得听神的言语, 明白至高者的意旨, 看见全能者的异象, 眼目睁开而仆倒的人说:

24:17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; a star will go out from Jacob, and a scepter will rise from Israel; it will crush the foreheads of Moab and destroy all the children of Seth.
我看他却不在现时; 我望他却不在近日. 有星要出于雅各, 有杖要兴于以色列, 必打破摩押的四角, 毁坏扰乱之子.

24:18 Edom will be a captive; Seir, its enemies, will be a captive, and Israel will be acting courageously.
他必得以东为基业, 又得仇敌之地西珥为产业; 以色列必行事勇敢.

24:19 Someone from Jacob will rule and will destroy a remnant from the city.”
有一位出于雅各的, 必掌大权; 他要除灭城中的余民.

24:20 And he looked at Amalek, uttered his oracle, and said, “Amalek is first of the nations, but his future will be forever ruin.”
巴兰观看亚玛力, 就题起诗歌说: 亚玛力原为诸国之首, 但他终必沉沦.

24:21 And he looked at the Kenites, uttered his oracle, and said, “Steady is your dwelling place; in the rock is your nest.
巴兰观看基尼人, 就题起诗歌说: 你的住处本是坚固; 你的窝巢做在岩穴中.

24:22 Nevertheless, the Kenite will be burned; how long will Asshur keep you captive?”
然而基尼必至衰微, 直到亚述把你掳去.

24:23 Again he uttered his oracle and said, “Woe, who will live when God establishes this?
巴兰又题起诗歌说: 哀哉! 神行这事, 谁能得活?

24:24 The ships will come from the hand of the Kittim, and they will afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber; also he will be forever ruin.”
必有人乘船从基提界而来, 苦害亚述, 苦害希伯; 他也必至沉沦.

24:25 Then Balaam got up and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went on his way.
于是巴兰起来, 回他本地去; 巴勒也回去了.

他父亲若没有弟兄, 就要把他的产业给他族中最近的亲属, 他便要得为业. ’这要作以色列人的律例典章, 是照耶和华吩咐摩西的. ”

27:12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go up to this mountain of Abarim, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites.
耶和华对摩西说: “你上这亚巴琳山, 观看我所赐给以色列人的地.

27:13 When you see it, you will be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother was gathered,
看了以后, 你也必归到你列祖(原文是本民)那里, 像你哥哥亚伦一样.

因为你们在寻的旷野, 当会众争闹的时候, 违背了我的命, 没有在涌水之地,会众眼前尊我为圣. ”(这水就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴水. )

27:15 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
摩西对耶和华说:

27:16 “Let Yahweh, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the community
“愿耶和华万人之灵的神, 立一个人治理会众,

27:17 who will go out before them and will come in before them, and who will lead them out and bring them in, so the community of Yahweh will not be like a flock that does not have a shepherd.”
可以在他们面前出入, 也可以引导他们, 免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般. ”

27:18 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and place your hand on him.
耶和华对摩西说: “嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的; 你将他领来, 按手在他头上,

27:19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before the entire community, and commission him in their sight.
使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前, 嘱咐他,

27:20 You will give to him from your authority so that the entire community of Israel will obey him.
又将你的尊荣给他几分, 使以色列全会众都听从他.

27:21 He will stand before Eleazar the priest, who will ask for him by the decision of the Urim before Yahweh. On his command they will go out, and at his command they will come in, both he and all of the Israelites with him, the entire community.”
他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前; 以利亚撒要凭乌陵的判断, 在耶和华面前为他求问. 他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入. ”

27:22 Moses did just as Yahweh commanded him, and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before the entire community.
于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来, 使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前,

27:23 And he placed his hands on him and commissioned him just as Yahweh spoke by the hand of Moses.
按手在他头上, 嘱咐他, 是照耶和华藉摩西所说的话.

29:40 So Moses said to the Israelites in accordance with all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
于是, 摩西照耶和华所吩咐他的一切话告诉以色列人.

Numbers - Chapter 30

30:1 Then Moses spoke to the leaders of the tribes concerning the Israelites, saying, “This is the word that Yahweh commanded:
摩西晓谕以色列各支派的首领说: “耶和华所吩咐的乃是这样:

30:2 if a man makes a vow for Yahweh or swears an oath with a binding pledge on himself, he must not render his word invalid; he must do all that went out from his mouth.
人若向耶和华许愿或起誓, 要约束自己, 就不可食言, 必要按口中所出的一切话行.

30:3 “If a woman makes a vow to Yahweh, and she binds a pledge on herself in her father’s house in your childhood,
女子年幼,还在父家的时候, 若向耶和华许愿, 要约束自己,

30:4 but if her father hears her vow or her pledge that she bound on herself and says nothing to her, then all her vows will stand, and every pledge that she binds on her life will stand.
她父亲也听见她所许的愿并约束自己的话, 却向她默默不言, 她所许的愿并约束自己的话就都要为定.

30:5 If her father forbids her on the day he hears of it, all her vows or her pledges that she bound on herself will not stand, and Yahweh will forgive her because her father has forgiven her.
但她父亲听见的日子若不应承她所许的愿和约束自己的话, 就都不得为定; 耶和华也必赦免她, 因为她父亲不应承.

30:6 “If she has a husband while bound by her vows or a rash promise of her lips,
她若出了嫁, 有愿在身, 或是口中出了约束自己的冒失话,

30:7 and her husband hears of it and is silent on the day he hears it, her vows will stand, and her pledge that she bound upon herself will stand.
她丈夫听见的日子, 却向她默默不言, 她所许的愿并约束自己的话就都要为定.

30:8 But if on the day her husband hears of it, he forbids her, then he will nullify her vow that she is under, and the rash promise of her lips that she bound on herself; and Yahweh will forgive her.
但她丈夫听见的日子, 若不应承, 就算废了她所许的愿和她出口约束自己的冒失话; 耶和华也必赦免她.

30:9 “But the vow of a widow or a woman who is divorced, all that she binds on herself will stand on her.
寡妇或是被休的妇人所许的愿, 就是她约束自己的话, 都要为定.

30:10 But if she made a vow in her husband’s house, or bound herself on a pledge with a sworn oath,
她若在丈夫家里许了愿或起了誓, 约束自己,

30:11 and her husband heard it but was silent to her, and he did not forbid her, all her vows will stand and every pledge that she bound on herself will stand.
丈夫听见, 却向她默默不言, 也没有不应承, 她所许的愿并约束自己的话就都要为定.

30:12 But if her husband nullified them on the day he hears them, all her vows going out of her lips concerning her vows or the pledge on herself will not stand; her husband has nullified them, and Yahweh will forgive her.
丈夫听见的日子, 若把这两样全废了, 妇人口中所许的愿或是约束自己的话就都不得为定, 因她丈夫已经把这两样废了; 耶和华也必赦免她.

30:13 “Any vow and any sworn oath of a pledge to inflict on herself, her husband can confirm it or her husband can nullify it.
凡她所许的愿和刻苦约束自己所起的誓, 她丈夫可以坚定, 也可以废去.

30:14 But if her husband is completely silent from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all her pledges that are on her; he confirms them because he was silent to her on the day he heard them.
倘若她丈夫天天向她默默不言, 就算是坚定她所许的愿和约束自己的话; 因丈夫听见的日子向她默默不言, 就使这两样坚定.

30:15 But if he indeed nullifies them after he hears them, then he will bear her guilt.”
但她丈夫听见以后, 若使这两样全废了, 就要担当妇人的罪孽. ”

30:16 These are the decrees that Yahweh commanded Moses, as between a husband and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, while her childhood is in her father’s house.
这是丈夫待妻子, 父亲待女儿, 女儿年幼,还在父家, 耶和华所吩咐摩西的律例.

Numbers - Chapter 31

31:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华吩咐摩西说:

31:2 “Seek vengeance for the Israelites on the Midianites; afterward you will be gathered to your people.”
“你要在米甸人身上报以色列人的仇, 后来要归到你列祖(原文是本民)那里. ”

31:3 Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm yourself from among your men for the battle, so that they will go against Midian to mete out the vengeance of Yahweh on Midian.
摩西吩咐百姓说: “要从你们中间叫人带兵器出去攻击米甸, 好在米甸人身上为耶和华报仇.

31:4 A thousand from each tribe of every tribe of Israel you will send to battle.”
从以色列众支派中, 每支派要打发一千人去打仗. ”

31:5 So theywere assigned from the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand equipped for battle.
于是从以色列千万人中, 每支派交出一千人, 共一万二千人, 带着兵器预备打仗.

31:6 Moses sent them, a thousand from each tribe, to the battle, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the battle with them, and the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets of the blast were in his hand.
摩西就打发每支派的一千人去打仗, 并打发祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈同去; 非尼哈手里拿着圣所的器皿和吹大声的号筒.

31:7 And they fought against Midian just as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
他们就照耶和华所吩咐摩西的, 与米甸人打仗, 杀了所有的男丁.

31:8 They killed the kings of Midian in addition to the ones they had slain: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian; they also killed Balaam son of Beor by the sword.
在所杀的人中, 杀了米甸的五王, 就是以未,利金,苏珥,户珥,利巴, 又用刀杀了比珥的儿子巴兰.

31:9 The Israelites took captive the women of Midian and their children, and they plundered all their domestic animals and all their livestock and all their wealth.
以色列人掳了米甸人的妇女孩子, 并将他们的牲畜,羊群, 和所有的财物都夺了来, 当作掳物,

31:10 They burned all their cities where they dwelled and all their camps with fire.
又用火焚烧他们所住的城邑和所有的营寨,

31:11 They took all the plunder and all the war-booty with the humans and domestic animals.
把一切所夺的,所掳的, 连人带牲畜都带了去,

31:12 They brought the captives, the war-booty, and the plunder to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the Israelites, to the camp to the desert-plateau of Moab, which was on the Jordan across Jericho.
将所掳的人, 所夺的牲畜,财物, 都带到摩押平原, 在约旦河边与耶利哥相对的营盘, 交给摩西和祭司以利亚撒, 并以色列的会众.

31:13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went out to meet them outside the camp.
摩西和祭司以利亚撒, 并会众一切的首领, 都出到营外迎接他们.

31:14 But Moses was angry toward the leaders of the troops, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, who came from the battle of the war.
摩西向打仗回来的军长, 就是千夫长,百夫长, 发怒,

31:15 And Moses said to them, “You have kept alive every female?
对他们说: “你们要存留这一切妇女的活命吗?

31:16 Behold, these women caused the Israelites, by the word of Balaam, to be in apostasy against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, so that the plague was among the community of Yahweh.
这些妇女因巴兰的计谋, 叫以色列人在毘珥的事上得罪耶和华, 以致耶和华的会众遭遇瘟疫.

31:17 Now kill every male among the little children, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man.
所以, 你们要把一切的男孩和所有已嫁的女子都杀了.

31:18 But all the females who have not had sexual intercourse with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
但女孩子中, 凡没有出嫁的, 你们都可以存留她的活命.

31:19 And you, camp outside the camp seven days; all who killed a person and all who touched the slain purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
你们要在营外驻扎七日; 凡杀了人的, 和一切摸了被杀的, 并你们所掳来的人口, 第三日, 第七日, 都要洁净自己,

31:20 You will purify yourselves and every garment and every object of hide and all the work of goats’ hair, and every object of wood.”
也要因一切的衣服,皮物,山羊毛织的物, 和各样的木器, 洁净自己. ”

31:21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of the battle who came from the war, “This is the decree of the law that Yahweh commanded Moses.
祭司以利亚撒对打仗回来的兵丁说: “耶和华所吩咐摩西律法中的条例乃是这样:

31:22 Only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead—
金,银,铜,铁,锡,铅,

31:23 everything that will go through the fire—you will pass through the fire, and it will be clean, and only in waters of impurity will it be purified. Whatever does not go into the fire you will pass through the waters.
凡能见火的, 你们要叫它经火就为洁净, 然而还要用除污秽的水洁净它; 凡不能见火的, 你们要叫它过水.

31:24 And you will wash your garments on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp.”
第七日, 你们要洗衣服, 就为洁净, 然后可以进营. ”

31:25 Yahweh said to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

31:26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the families of the community, take count of the war-booty that was captured, both humans and the domestic animals;
“你和祭司以利亚撒, 并会众的各族长, 要计算所掳来的人口和牲畜的总数.

31:27 divide the war-booty between those who engaged in the war, who went out to the battle, and all the community.
把所掳来的分作两半: 一半归与出去打仗的精兵, 一半归与全会众.

31:28 Exact a tribute for Yahweh from the men of the war, those who went out to the battle, one from five hundred persons, and from the cattle and from the male donkeys and from the flock;
又要从出去打仗所得的人口,牛,驴,羊群中, 每五百取一, 作为贡物奉给耶和华.

31:29 take from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to Yahweh.
从他们一半之中, 要取出来交给祭司以利亚撒, 作为耶和华的举祭.

31:30 From half of the Israelites, take one share drawn by lot from the fifty from the humans, from the cattle, from the male donkeys, from the flock, from all the domestic animals, and give them to the Levities who keep the responsibilities of the tabernacle of Yahweh.”
从以色列人的一半之中, 就是从人口,牛,驴,羊群,各样牲畜中, 每五十取一, 交给看守耶和华帐幕的利未人. ”

31:31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
于是摩西和祭司以利亚撒照耶和华所吩咐摩西的行了.

31:32 Thus the war-booty that remained of the plunder that the people of the battle plundered was six hundred and seventy-five thousand flocks of sheep,
除了兵丁所夺的财物以外, 所掳来的: 羊六十七万五千只;

31:33 seventy-two thousand cattle,
牛七万二千只;

31:34 sixty-one thousand male donkeys,
驴六万一千匹;

31:35 and the life of humankind, from the women who did not have sexual intercourse with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
女人共三万二千口, 都是没有出嫁的.

31:36 The half of the share that was going out to the battle: the number of the flock of sheep was thee hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred;
出去打仗之人的分, 就是他们所得的那一半, 共计羊三十三万七千五百只,

31:37 the tribute to Yahweh from the flock was six hundred and seventy-five;
从其中归耶和华为贡物的, 有六百七十五只;

31:38 and the cattle were thirty-six thousand; and the tribute to Yahweh was seventy-two.
牛三万六千只, 从其中归耶和华为贡物的, 有七十二只;

31:39 Of the male donkeys there were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute to Yahweh was sixty-one;
驴三万零五百匹, 从其中归耶和华为贡物的, 有六十一匹;

31:40 the humans were sixteen thousand, and the tribute to Yahweh was thirty-two persons.
人一万六千口, 从其中归耶和华的, 有三十二口.

31:41 And Moses gave away the tribute of the contribution of Yahweh to Eleazar the priest, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
摩西把贡物, 就是归与耶和华的举祭, 交给祭司以利亚撒, 是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

31:42 From the half of the Israelites, which Moses divided from the men who were fighting,
以色列人所得的那一半, 就是摩西从打仗的人取来分给他们的.

31:43 the half that belonged to the community was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred from the flock,
(会众的那一半有: 羊三十三万七千五百只;

31:44 and thirty-six thousand cattle,
牛三万六千只;

31:45 and thirty thousand five hundred male donkeys,
驴三万零五百匹;

31:46 and sixteen thousand humans.
人一万六千口. )

31:47 From the half that belonged to the Israelites, Moses took one share drawn by lot out of every fifty humans and domestic animals, and he gave them to the Levites, who keep the responsibility of the tabernacle of Yahweh, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
无论是人口是牲畜, 摩西每五十取一, 交给看守耶和华帐幕的利未人, 是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

31:48 Then the leaders of the thousands of the army, the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, approached Moses,
带领千军的各军长, 就是千夫长,百夫长, 都近前来见摩西,

31:49 and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken count of the men of war who were in our charge, and no man is missing from us.
对他说: “仆人权下的兵已经计算总数, 并不短少一人.

31:50 So we brought the offering of Yahweh, what each man found, objects of gold, bangles, bracelets, rings, earrings, and female ornaments, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
如今我们将各人所得的金器, 就是脚链子,镯子,打印的戒指,耳环,手钏, 都送来为耶和华的供物, 好在耶和华面前为我们的生命赎罪. ”

31:51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, all objects of work.
摩西和祭司以利亚撒就收了他们的金子, 都是打成的器皿.

31:52 All the gold of the contribution that they raised up to Yahweh, from the commanders of the thousands and the commanders of the hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
千夫长,百夫长所献给耶和华为举祭的金子共有一万六千七百五十舍客勒.

31:53 The men of battle plundered each for himself.
各兵丁都为自己夺了财物.

31:54 So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of the thousands and hundreds, and they brought it to the tent of the assembly as a memorial for the Israelites before Yahweh.
摩西和祭司以利亚撒收了千夫长,百夫长的金子, 就带进会幕, 在耶和华面前作为以色列人的纪念.

Numbers - Chapter 32

32:1 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad had a very large number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold it was a place for livestock.
流便子孙和迦得子孙的牲畜极其众多; 他们看见雅谢地和基列地是可牧放牲畜之地,

32:2 The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben came, and they said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, saying,
就来见摩西和祭司以利亚撒, 并会众的首领, 说:

32:3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
“亚大录,底本,雅谢,宁拉,希实本,以利亚利,示班,尼波,比稳,

32:4 the land that Yahweh struck before the community of Israel, is a land of livestock, and your servants have livestock.”
就是耶和华在以色列会众前面所攻取之地, 是可牧放牲畜之地, 你仆人也有牲畜”;

32:5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as property; do not lead us across the Jordan.”
又说: “我们若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你把这地给我们为业, 不要领我们过约旦河. ”

32:6 But Moses said to the descendants of Gad and to the descendants of Reuben, “Will your brothers go to war while you yourselves live here?
摩西对迦得子孙和流便子孙说: “难道你们的弟兄去打仗, 你们竟坐在这里吗?

32:7 Why are you discouraging the hearts of the Israelites from crossing into the land that Yahweh gave to them?
你们为何使以色列人灰心丧胆,不过去进入耶和华所赐给他们的那地呢?

32:8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
我先前从加低斯‧巴尼亚打发你们先祖去窥探那地, 他们也是这样行.

32:9 When they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the Israelites so that they did not come to the land that Yahweh gave to them.
他们上以实各谷, 去窥探那地回来的时候, 使以色列人灰心丧胆, 不进入耶和华所赐给他们的地.

32:10 So Yahweh’s anger burned on that day, and he swore an oath, saying,
当日, 耶和华的怒气发作, 就起誓说:

32:11 ‘The men who went up from Egypt, from those twenty years old and above, will not see the land that I swore with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because they have not wholly followed me,
‘凡从埃及上来,二十岁以外的人断不得看见我对亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许之地, 因为他们没有专心跟从我.

32:12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, because they followed Yahweh wholly.’
惟有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚可以看见, 因为他们专心跟从我. ’

32:13 And Yahweh became angry, and he made them wander in the desert forty years until the entire generation who did evil in the sight of Yahweh had died.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 使他们在旷野飘流四十年, 等到在耶和华眼前行恶的那一代人都消灭了.

32:14 Behold, you stand in the place of your fathers, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more Yahweh’s fierce anger against Israel.
谁知, 你们起来接续先祖, 增添罪人的数目, 使耶和华向以色列大发烈怒.

32:15 If you turn from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you would have destroyed all these people.”
你们若退后不跟从他, 他还要把以色列人撇在旷野, 便是你们使这众民灭亡. ”

32:16 They came near to him and said, “We will build sheep pens here for the flock of our livestock and cities for our little children;
两支派的人挨近摩西, 说: “我们要在这里为牲畜垒圈, 为妇人孩子造城.

32:17 but we ourselves will become armed and ready before the Israelites until we have brought them to their place, and our little children will live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
我们自己要带兵器行在以色列人的前头, 好把他们领到他们的地方; 但我们的妇人孩子, 因这地居民的缘故, 要住在坚固的城内.

32:18 We will not return to our houses until the Israelites each obtain their inheritance for themselves.
我们不回家, 直等到以色列人各承受自己的产业.

32:19 For we will not take possession with them from across the Jordan and beyond because our inheritance has come to us from across the Jordan to the east.”
我们不和他们在约旦河那边一带之地同受产业, 因为我们的产业是坐落在约旦河东边这里. ”

32:20 So Moses said to them, “If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before Yahweh for the war,
摩西对他们说: “你们若这样行, 在耶和华面前带着兵器出去打仗,

32:21 and everyone of you armed cross the Jordan before Yahweh until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
所有带兵器的人都要在耶和华面前过约旦河, 等他赶出他的仇敌,

32:22 and the land is subdued before Yahweh, then afterward you will return and be free of obligation from Yahweh and from Israel, and this land will be your property before Yahweh.
那地被耶和华制伏了, 然后你们可以回来, 向耶和华和以色列才为无罪, 这地也必在耶和华面前归你们为业.

32:23 But if you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh, and know that your sin will find you.
倘若你们不这样行, 就得罪耶和华, 要知道你们的罪必追上你们.

32:24 Build for yourselves cities for your little children and sheep pens for your flocks; what has gone out from your mouth you will do.”
如今你们口中所出的, 只管去行, 为你们的妇人孩子造城, 为你们的羊群垒圈. ”

32:25 So the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben said to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.
迦得子孙和流便子孙对摩西说: “仆人要照我主所吩咐的去行.

32:26 Our little children, our wives, our livestock, and all of our animals will remain in the cities of Gilead,
我们的妻子,孩子,羊群, 和所有的牲畜都要留在基列的各城.

32:27 but your servants, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross over before Yahweh to the war, just as my lord says.”
但你的仆人, 凡带兵器的, 都要照我主所说的话, 在耶和华面前过去打仗. ”

32:28 So Moses commanded them, Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the Israelites.
于是, 摩西为他们嘱咐祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚, 并以色列众支派的族长, 说:

32:29 Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, everyone who is armed for the war, cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, you will give them the land of Gilead as property.
“迦得子孙和流便子孙, 凡带兵器在耶和华面前去打仗的, 若与你们一同过约旦河, 那地被你们制伏了, 你们就要把基列地给他们为业.

32:30 But if they will not cross over with you armed, they will acquire land in your midst in Canaan.”
倘若他们不带兵器和你们一同过去, 就要在迦南地你们中间得产业. ”

32:31 The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben answered and said, “What Yahweh has commanded your servants, we will do.
迦得子孙和流便子孙回答说: “耶和华怎样吩咐仆人, 仆人就怎样行.

32:32 We ourselves will cross over armed before Yahweh to the land of Canaan, and the property of our inheritance will remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
我们要带兵器, 在耶和华面前过去, 进入迦南地, 只是约旦河这边,我们所得为业之地仍归我们. ”

32:33 So Moses gave to them, to the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben, and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh, the kingdom of Sihon the king of Amorites and the kingdom of Og the king of the Bashan, the land with its cities and their territories, the cities of the surrounding land.
摩西将亚摩利王西宏的国和巴珊王噩的国, 连那地和周围的城邑, 都给了迦得子孙和流便子孙, 并约瑟的儿子玛拿西半个支派.

32:34 The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, and Aroer,
迦得子孙建造底本,亚他录,亚罗珥,

32:35 and Atroth Shophan, Jazer, and Jogbehah,
亚他录‧朔反,雅谢,约比哈,

32:36 and Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, the cities of Mibzar, and the sheep pens for flocks.
伯‧宁拉,伯‧哈兰, 都是坚固城. 他们又垒羊圈.

32:37 The descendants of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
流便子孙建造希实本,以利亚利,基列亭,

32:38 and Nebo, Baal Meon (their names were changed), and Sibmah, and they renamed the cities that they rebuilt.
尼波,巴力‧免,西比玛(尼波,巴力‧免, 名字是改了的), 又给他们所建造的城另起别名.

32:39 The descendants of Makir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and they captured it and drove out the Amorites who were in it.
玛拿西的儿子玛吉, 他的子孙往基列去, 占了那地, 赶出那里的亚摩利人.

32:40 So Moses gave Gilead to Makir son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
摩西将基列赐给玛拿西的儿子玛吉, 他子孙就住在那里.

32:41 And Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their unwalled villages, and he called them Havvoth Jair.
玛拿西的子孙睚珥去占了基列的村庄, 就称这些村庄为哈倭特‧睚珥.

32:42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah after his own name.
挪巴去占了基纳和基纳的乡村, 就按自己的名称基纳为挪巴.

耶和华在摩押平原─约旦河边,耶利哥对面晓谕摩西说:

33:51 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
你吩咐以色列人说: 你们过约旦河进迦南地的时候,

33:52 you will drive out the inhabitants of the land from your presence, and you will destroy all their idols and all the images of their molten idols, and you will demolish all their high places;
就要从你们面前赶出那里所有的居民, 毁灭他们一切錾成的石像和他们一切铸成的偶像, 又拆毁他们一切的邱坛.

33:53 you will dispossess the land and live in it because I have given the land to you to possess it.
你们要夺那地, 住在其中, 因我把那地赐给你们为业.

33:54 You will distribute the land by lot according to your clans; to the larger group you will give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller group you will give less inheritance. However the lot falls for him, there the lot will be. You will distribute it according to the tribes of your ancestors.
你们要按家室拈阄, 承受那地; 人多的, 要把产业多分给他们; 人少的, 要把产业少分给他们. 拈出何地给何人, 就要归何人. 你们要按宗族的支派承受.

33:55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from your presence, then it will happen that whomever you let remain of them will be like irritants in your eyes and like thorns in your sides; they will be your enemies in the land in which you live.
倘若你们不赶出那地的居民, 所容留的居民就必作你们眼中的刺, 肋下的荆棘, 也必在你们所住的地上扰害你们.

33:56 And just as I planned to do to them, I will do to you.’ ”
而且我素常有意怎样待他们, 也必照样待你们. ”

Numbers - Chapter 34

34:1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

34:2 “Command the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that was allotted to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries.
“你吩咐以色列人说: 你们到了迦南地, 就是归你们为业的迦南四境之地,

34:3 Your southern edge will be from the desert of Zin toward the side of Edom, and your southern border will be from the end of the Salt Sea to the east;
南角要从寻的旷野, 贴著以东的边界; 南界要从盐海东头起,

34:4 your boundary will turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and will pass over to Zin, and its limits will be from the south of Kadesh Barnea; it will continue to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon.
绕到亚克拉滨坡的南边, 接连到寻, 直通到加低斯‧巴尼亚的南边, 又通到哈萨‧亚达, 接连到押们,

34:5 The boundary will turn from Azmon to the valley of Egypt, and its limits will be to the sea.
从押们转到埃及小河, 直通到海为止.

34:6 “ ‘Your western boundary will be the Great Sea; this will be your western boundary.
“西边要以大海为界; 这就是你们的西界.

34:7 Your northern border will be from the Great Sea; you will make a boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.
“北界要从大海起, 划到何珥山,

34:8 From Mount Hor you will make a boundary to reach Hamath; the limits of the territory will be at Zedad.
从何珥山划到哈马口, 通到西达达,

34:9 The boundary will go out to Ziphron, and its limits will be at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary to the north.
又通到西斐仑, 直到哈萨‧以难. 这要作你们的北界.

34:10 “ ‘You will mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar Enan to Shepham;
“你们要从哈萨‧以难划到示番为东界.

34:11 the boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah from the east side of Ain, and the boundary will go down and border on the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth.
这界要从示番下到亚延东边的利比拉, 又要达到基尼烈湖的东边.

34:12 The boundary will go down to the Jordan, and its limits will be at the Salt Sea. This will be your land according to its boundaries all around.’ ”
这界要下到约旦河, 通到盐海为止. 这四围的边界以内, 要作你们的地. ”

34:13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, saying, “This is the land that you will obtain as an inheritance for yourself by lot, which Yahweh commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.
摩西吩咐以色列人说: “这地就是耶和华吩咐拈阄给九个半支派承受为业的;

34:14 For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites, the children of the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh took their inheritance according to the house of their families.
因为流便支派和迦得支派按著宗族受了产业, 玛拿西半个支派也受了产业.

34:15 The two and a half tribes have taken their inheritance from beyond the Jordan across Jericho, east toward the sunrise.”
这两个半支派已经在耶利哥对面,约旦河东,向日出之地受了产业. ”

34:16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

34:17 “These are the names of the men who divide up the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
“要给你们分地为业之人的名字是祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚.

34:18 You will take one leader from every tribe to divide up the land for inheritance.
又要从每支派中选一个首领帮助他们.

34:19 These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
这些人的名字: 犹大支派有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒.

34:20 of the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, Samuel son of Ammihud;
西缅支派有亚米忽的儿子示母利.

34:21 of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
便雅悯支派有基斯伦的儿子以利达.

34:22 of the tribe of the descendants of Dan, the leader Bukki son of Jogli;
但支派有一个首领, 约利的儿子布基.

34:23 of the descendants of Joseph, the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh, the leader Hanniel son of Ephod.
约瑟的子孙玛拿西支派有一个首领, 以弗的儿子汉聂.

34:24 Of the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim, the leader Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
以法莲支派有一个首领, 拾弗但的儿子基母利.

34:25 of the tribe of the descendants of Zebulum, the leader Elizaphan son of Parnach;
西布伦支派有一个首领, 帕纳的儿子以利撒番.

34:26 of the tribe of the descendants of Issachar, the leader Paltiel son of Azzan;
以萨迦支派有一个首领, 阿散的儿子帕铁.

34:27 of the tribe of the descendants of Asher, the leader Ahihud son of Shelomi;
亚设支派有一个首领, 示罗米的儿子亚希忽.

34:28 of the tribe of the descendants of Naphtali, the leader Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
拿弗他利支派有一个首领, 亚米忽的儿子比大黑.

34:29 These are those whom Yahweh commanded to allot to the Israelites the land of Canaan.
这些人就是耶和华所吩咐,在迦南地把产业分给以色列人的.

Numbers - Chapter 35

35:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses on the desert plains of Moab beyond the Jordan across Jericho, saying,
耶和华在摩押平原─约旦河边,耶利哥对面晓谕摩西说:

35:2 “Command the Israelites that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their property cities to live in; and you will give to the Levites pastureland all around the cities.
“你吩咐以色列人, 要从所得为业的地中把些城给利未人居住, 也要把这城四围的郊野给利未人.

35:3 The cities will be theirs to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their domestic animals, for their possessions, and their animals.
这城邑要归他们居住, 城邑的郊野可以牧养他们的牛羊和各样的牲畜, 又可以安置他们的财物.

35:4 “The pasturelands of the cities that you will give to the Levites will extend from the wall of the city to a distance of a thousand cubits all around.
你们给利未人的郊野, 要从城根起, 四围往外量一千肘.

35:5 You will measure outside the city the eastern edge two thousand cubits, for the southern edge two thousand cubits, for the western edge two thousand cubits, and for the northern edge two thousand cubits, with the city in the middle; this will be for them the pasturelands of the cities.
另外东量二千肘, 南量二千肘, 西量二千肘, 北量二千肘, 为边界, 城在当中; 这要归他们作城邑的郊野.

35:6 “All the cities that you will give the Levites will be six cities of refuge, to which the killer can flee; in addition to them you will give forty-two cities.
你们给利未人的城邑, 其中当有六座逃城, 使误杀人的可以逃到那里. 此外还要给他们四十二座城.

35:7 All the cities that you will give to the Levites will be forty-eight cities, them with their pasturelands.
你们要给利未人的城, 共有四十八座, 连城带郊野都要给他们.

35:8 And the cities that you will give from the property of the Israelites, you will take more from the larger group and less from the smaller group; each of them will give according to the portion of their inheritance according to the portion that he inherits.”
以色列人所得的地业从中要把些城邑给利未人; 人多的就多给, 人少的就少给; 各支派要按所承受为业之地把城邑给利未人. ”

35:9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和华晓谕摩西说:

35:10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
“你吩咐以色列人说: 你们过约旦河, 进了迦南地,

35:11 you will select for yourselves cities for your cities of refuge, that a killer who has killed a person unintentionally can flee there.
就要分出几座城, 为你们作逃城, 使误杀人的可以逃到那里.

35:12 The cities will be to you a refuge from a redeemer, so that the killer will not die until he stands before the community for judgment.
这些城可以作逃避报仇人的城, 使误杀人的不至于死, 等他站在会众面前听审判.

35:13 The cities that you are to give will be your six cities of refuge.
你们所分出来的城, 要作六座逃城.

35:14 You will give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they will be cities of refuge.
在约旦河东要分出三座城, 在迦南地也要分出三座城, 都作逃城.

35:15 To the Israelites, to the alien, and to the temporary resident in their midst there will be these six cities as a refuge to which anyone who unintentionally kills a person may flee.
这六座城要给以色列人和他们中间的外人, 并寄居的, 作为逃城, 使误杀人的都可以逃到那里.

35:16 “ ‘But if he hit him with an object of iron, so that he dies, the killer must surely be put to death.
“倘若人用铁器打人, 以致打死, 他就是故杀人的; 故杀人的必被治死.

35:17 And if he hit him with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and he does die, he is a killer; the killer must surely be put to death.
若用可以打死人的石头打死了人, 他就是故杀人的; 故杀人的必被治死.

35:18 Or if he hit him with a wooden object, by which he will die, and he does die, he is a killer; the killer must surely be put to death.
若用可以打死人的木器打死了人, 他就是故杀人的; 故杀人的必被治死.

35:19 The blood avenger himself will put the killer to death; he must put him to death when meeting him.
报血仇的必亲自杀那故杀人的, 一遇见就杀他.

35:20 If he shoves him in hatred, or he throws something at him with intention, and he dies,
人若因怨恨把人推倒, 或是埋伏往人身上扔物, 以致于死,

35:21 or if he hits him in hostility with his hand, and he dies, the one that struck him will put to death the killer when meeting him.
或是因仇恨用手打人, 以致于死, 那打人的必被治死. 他是故杀人的; 报血仇的一遇见就杀他.

35:22 “ ‘Or if in an instant he shoved him, not in hostility, or threw something at him without intention,
“倘若人没有仇恨, 忽然将人推倒, 或是没有埋伏把物扔在人身上,

35:23 or with any stone, without seeing it dropped on him so that he dies, while he was not seeking his injury,
或是没有看见的时候用可以打死人的石头扔在人身上, 以致于死, 本来与他无仇, 也无意害他.

35:24 then the community will judge between the striker and between the blood avenger according to these ordinances.
会众就要照典章, 在打死人的和报血仇的中间审判.

35:25 The community will deliver the killer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the community will restore him to the city of his refuge to which he fled; and he will live there in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with holy oil.
会众要救这误杀人的脱离报血仇人的手, 也要使他归入逃城. 他要住在其中, 直等到受圣膏的大祭司死了.

35:26 But if the killer surely goes out of the territory of the city of his refuge to which he fled,
但误杀人的, 无论甚么时候, 若出了逃城的境外,

35:27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the territory of the city of his refuge, and the blood avenger kills the killer, he will not be guilty of blood
报血仇的在逃城境外遇见他, 将他杀了, 报血仇的就没有流血之罪.

35:28 because he must live in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the killer will return to the land of his property.
因为误杀人的该住在逃城里, 等到大祭司死了. 大祭司死了以后, 误杀人的才可以回到他所得为业之地.

35:29 These things will be as a decree of justice for you for your generations in all your dwellings.
这在你们一切的住处, 要作你们世世代代的律例典章.

35:30 “ ‘If anyone kills a person, the killer will be put to death according to the testimony of witnesses, but someone cannot die on testimony of one person.
“无论谁故杀人, 要凭几个见证人的口把那故杀人的杀了, 只是不可凭一个见证的口叫人死.

35:31 Also, you will not take a ransom payment for the life of a killer who is guilty of death; indeed, he must surely be put to death.
故杀人,犯死罪的, 你们不可收赎价代替他的命; 他必被治死.

35:32 You will not take a ransom payment for the one that flees to the city of his refuge, so that he may return to live in the land before the death of the priest.
那逃到逃城的人, 你们不可为他收赎价, 使他在大祭司未死以先再来住在本地.

35:33 So you will not pollute the land in which you are; because blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is poured out on it except with the blood of the one who poured it out.
这样, 你们就不污秽所住之地, 因为血是污秽地的; 若有在地上流人血的, 非流那杀人者的血, 那地就不得洁净(原文是赎).

35:34 You will not defile the land on which you are living because I am living in the midst of it; I am Yahweh; I am living in the midst of the Israelites.’ ”
你们不可玷污所住之地, 就是我住在其中之地, 因为我─耶和华住在以色列人中间. ”

Numbers - Chapter 36

36:1 The leaders of the families of the clans of descendants of Gilead the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the clans of the descendants of Joseph came near and spoke before Moses and before the leaders of the families of the Israelites.
约瑟的后裔, 玛拿西的孙子, 玛吉的儿子基列, 他子孙中的诸族长来到摩西和作首领的以色列人族长面前, 说:

36:2 And they said, “Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land by lot as an inheritance to the Israelites, and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
“耶和华曾吩咐我主拈阄分地给以色列人为业, 我主也受了耶和华的吩咐将我们兄弟西罗非哈的产业分给他的众女儿.

36:3 But if they become wives to one of the sons from another tribe of the Israelites, their inheritance will disappear from the inheritance of our ancestors, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; the lot of our inheritance would disappear.
她们若嫁以色列别支派的人, 就必将我们祖宗所遗留的产业加在她们丈夫支派的产业中. 这样, 我们拈阄所得的产业就要减少了.

36:4 When the Jubilee of the Israelites comes, it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they belong; and their inheritance will disappear from the tribe of our father.”
到了以色列人的禧年, 这女儿的产业就必加在她们丈夫支派的产业上. 这样, 我们祖宗支派的产业就减少了. ”

36:5 Then Moses commanded the Israelites by the command of Yahweh, saying, “The tribe of the descendants of Joseph is right regarding what they are speaking.
摩西照耶和华的话吩咐以色列人说: “约瑟支派的人说得有理.

36:6 This is the word that Yahweh commanded the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘Let them marry whomever they like; only they must marry from within the clan of the tribe of their father.
论到西罗非哈的众女儿, 耶和华这样吩咐说: 她们可以随意嫁人, 只是要嫁同宗支派的人.

36:7 Thus an inheritance of the Israelites will not go around from tribe to tribe. Rather, the inheritance of each tribe of his father will remain with the Israelites.
这样, 以色列人的产业就不从这支派归到那支派, 因为以色列人要各守各祖宗支派的产业.

36:8 Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from the tribes of the Israelites will marry one of the clan of the tribe of her father, so that the Israelites will possess the inheritance of his ancestors.
凡在以色列支派中得了产业的女子必作同宗支派人的妻, 好叫以色列人各自承受他祖宗的产业.

36:9 Therefore an inheritance will not go around from one tribe to another tribe because the tribes of the Israelites will each hold to their own inheritance.’ ”
这样, 他们的产业就不从这支派归到那支派, 因为以色列支派的人要各守各的产业. ”

36:10 Just as Yahweh commanded to Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did:
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西, 西罗非哈的众女儿就怎样行.

36:11 Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married the sons of their uncles.
西罗非哈的女儿玛拉,得撒,曷拉,密迦,挪阿都嫁了他们伯叔的儿子.

36:12 They married those from the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained among the tribe of the clan of their ancestors.
她们嫁入约瑟儿子,玛拿西子孙的族中; 她们的产业仍留在同宗支派中.

36:13 These were the commands and the stipulations that Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses to the Israelites on the desert-plateaus of Moab by the Jordan across Jericho.
这是耶和华在摩押平原─约旦河边,耶利哥对面─藉著摩西所吩咐以色列人的命令典章.

Deuteronomy (申命记)

Deuteronomy - Chapter 1

1:1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all of Israel on the other side of the Jordan in the desert, in the desert plateau opposite Suph, between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.
以下所记的是摩西在约旦河东的旷野,疏弗对面的亚拉巴─就是巴兰,陀弗,拉班,哈洗录,底撒哈中间─向以色列众人所说的话.

1:2 It is a journey of eleven days from Herob by the way of Mount Seir up to Kadesh Barnea.
(从何烈山经过西珥山到加低斯‧巴尼亚有十一天的路程. )

1:3 And it was in the fortieth year, on the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the Israelites according to all that Yahweh had instructed him to speak to them.
出埃及第四十年十一月初一日, 摩西照耶和华藉着他所吩咐以色列人的话都晓谕他们.

1:4 This happened after defeating Sihon king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who was reigning in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
那时, 他已经击杀了住希实本的亚摩利王西宏和住以得来,亚斯他录的巴珊王噩.

1:5 On the other side of the Jordan in the land of Moab Moses began to explain this law, saying:
摩西在约旦河东的摩押地讲律法说:

1:6 “Yahweh our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
“耶和华─我们的神在何烈山晓谕我们说: 你们在这山上住的日子够了;

1:7 Turn now and move on, and go into the hill of the Amorites and to all of the neighboring regions in the Jordan Valley in the hill country and in the Negev and in the coastal area along the sea, into the land of the Canaanites and into the Lebanon, as far as the great river Euphrates.
要起行转到亚摩利人的山地和靠近这山地的各处, 就是亚拉巴,山地,高原,南地, 沿海一带迦南人的地, 并黎巴嫩山又到幼发拉底大河.

1:8 Look, I have set the land before you; go and take possession of the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it to them and to their offspring after them.’
如今我将这地摆在你们面前; 你们要进去得这地, 就是耶和华向你们列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许赐给他们和他们后裔为业之地. ”

1:9 “And I spoke to them at that time, saying, ‘I am not able to bear you alone.
“那时, 我对你们说: ‘管理你们的重任, 我独自担当不起.

1:10 Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and look; you are today as the stars of the heaven in number.
耶和华─你们的神使你们多起来. 看哪, 你们今日像天上的星那样多.

1:11 Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, may he add to you as you are now a thousand times, and may he bless you just as he promised you.
惟愿耶和华─你们列祖的神使你们比如今更多千倍, 照他所应许你们的话赐福与你们.

1:12 How can I bear you by myself, your burden and your load and your strife?
但你们的麻烦, 和管理你们的重任, 并你们的争讼, 我独自一人怎能担当得起呢?

1:13 Choose for yourselves wise and discerning and knowledgeable men for each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.’
你们要按著各支派选举有智慧,有见识,为众人所认识的, 我立他们为你们的首领. ’

1:14 “And you answered me, and you said, ‘The thing you have said to do is good.’
你们回答我说: ‘照你所说的行了为妙. ’

1:15 And so I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and then I appointed them as leaders over you as commanders of groups of thousands and commanders of groups of hundreds and commanders of groups of fifties and commanders of groups of tens as officials for your tribes.
我便将你们各支派的首领, 有智慧,为众人所认识的, 照你们的支派, 立他们为官长,千夫长,百夫长,五十夫长,十夫长, 管理你们.

1:16 And at that time I instructed your judges, saying, ‘hear out your fellow men, and then judge fairly between a man and between his brother and between his opponent who is a resident alien.
“当时, 我嘱咐你们的审判官说: ‘你们听讼, 无论是弟兄彼此争讼, 是与同居的外人争讼, 都要按公义判断.

1:17 You must not be partial in your judgment; hear out the small person as also the great person; do not be intimidated by any person, because the judgment is God’s; and the case that is too difficult for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it out.’
审判的时候, 不可看人的外貌; 听讼不可分贵贱, 不可惧怕人, 因为审判是属乎神的. 若有难断的案件, 可以呈到我这里, 我就判断. ’

1:18 And so I instructed you at that time concerning all of the things that you should do.
那时, 我将你们所当行的事都吩咐你们了. ”

1:19 “Then we set out from Horeb, and we went through the whole of that great and terrible desert that you saw on the way to the hill country of the Amorites as Yahweh our God had commanded us, and so we came up to Kadesh Barnea.
“我们照着耶和华─我们神所吩咐的从何烈山起行, 经过你们所看见那大而可怕的旷野, 往亚摩利人的山地去, 到了加低斯‧巴尼亚.

1:20 I said to you, ‘You have reached the hill country of the Amorites that Yahweh our God is giving to us.
我对你们说: ‘你们已经到了耶和华─我们神所赐给我们的亚摩利人之山地.

1:21 See, Yahweh your God has set before you the land; go up and possess it as Yahweh the God of your ancestors said to you; do not fear and do not be dismayed.’
看哪, 耶和华─你的神已将那地摆在你面前, 你要照耶和华─你列祖的神所说的上去得那地为业; 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶. ’

1:22 “Then all of you approached me, and you said, ‘Let us send men before us, and let them explore the land for us, and let them bring back a report to us concerning the way that we should take and concerning the cities that we shall come to.’
你们都就近我来说: ‘我们要先打发人去, 为我们窥探那地, 将我们上去该走何道, 必进何城, 都回报我们. ’

1:23 The plan was good in my opinion, and so I took from among you twelve men, one from each tribe.
这话我以为美, 就从你们中间选了十二个人, 每支派一人.

1:24 And they set out and went up into the hill country, and they went up to the wadi of Eschol, and they spied out the land.
于是他们起身上山地去, 到以实各谷, 窥探那地.

1:25 They took in their hands some of the fruit of the land, and they brought it down to us, and they brought to us back a report, and they said, ‘The land that Yahweh our God is giving to us is good.’
他们手里拿着那地的果子下来, 到我们那里, 回报说: ‘耶和华─我们的神所赐给我们的是美地. ’

1:26 But you were not willing to go up, and you rebelled against the command of Yahweh your God.
“你们却不肯上去, 竟违背了耶和华─你们神的命令,

1:27 And you grumbled in your tents, and you said, ‘Because of the hatred of Yahweh toward us he has brought us out from the land of Egypt to give us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.
在帐棚内发怨言说: ‘耶和华因为恨我们, 所以将我们从埃及地领出来, 要交在亚摩利人手中, 除灭我们.

1:28 Where can we go up? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we are, and there are great fortified cities reaching up to heaven, and we saw the sons of the Anakites living there.” ’
我们上哪里去呢? 我们的弟兄使我们的心消化, 说那地的民比我们又大又高, 城邑又广大又坚固, 高得顶天, 并且我们在那里看见亚衲族的人. ’

1:29 “And so I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, and do not fear them.
我就对你们说: ‘不要惊恐, 也不要怕他们.

1:30 Yahweh your God, who is going before you, will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
在你们前面行的耶和华─你们的神必为你们争战, 正如他在埃及和旷野, 在你们眼前所行的一样.

1:31 and just as he did in the wilderness when you saw that Yahweh your God carried you, just as someone carries his son, all along the way that you traveled until you reached this place.’
你们在旷野所行的路上, 也曾见耶和华─你们的神抚养你们, 如同人抚养儿子一般, 直等你们来到这地方. ’

1:32 But through all of this you did not trust in Yahweh your God,
你们在这事上却不信耶和华─你们的神.

1:33 who goes before you on your way, seeking a place for your encampment, in fire at night and in a cloud by day, to show you the way that you should go.
他在路上, 在你们前面行, 为你们找安营的地方; 夜间在火柱里, 日间在云柱里, 指示你们所当行的路. ”

1:34 “Then Yahweh heard the sound of your words, and he was angry, and he swore, saying,
“耶和华听见你们这话, 就发怒, 起誓说:

1:35 ‘No one of these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors,
‘这恶世代的人, 连一个也不得见我起誓应许赐给你们列祖的美地;

1:36 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; he himself shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has trodden and to his sons because he followed Yahweh unreservedly.’
惟有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒必得看见, 并且我要将他所踏过的地赐给他和他的子孙, 因为他专心跟从我. ’

1:37 Even with me Yahweh was angry because of you, saying, ‘Not even you shall enter there.
耶和华为你们的缘故也向我发怒, 说: ‘你必不得进入那地.

1:38 Joshua, the son of Nun, your assistant, will go there; encourage him because he will cause Israel to inherit it.
伺候你,嫩的儿子约书亚, 他必得进入那地; 你要勉励他, 因为他要使以色列人承受那地为业.

1:39 And your little children, who you thought shall become plunder, and your sons, who do not today know good or bad, shall themselves go there, and I will give it to them, and they shall take possession of it.
并且你们的妇人孩子, 就是你们所说,必被掳掠的, 和今日不知善恶的儿女, 必进入那地. 我要将那地赐给他们, 他们必得为业.

1:40 But you turn and set out in the direction of the wilderness by way of the Red Sea.’
至于你们, 要转回, 从红海的路往旷野去. ’

1:41 “You replied and said to me, ‘We have sinned against Yahweh, and now we will go up and fight according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us’; and so each man fastened on his battle gear, and you regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country.
“那时, 你们回答我说: ‘我们得罪了耶和华, 情愿照耶和华─我们神一切所吩咐的上去争战. ’于是你们各人带着兵器, 争先上山地去了.

1:42 So Yahweh said to me, ‘Say to them, “You shall not go up, and you shall not fight because I am not in your midst; you will be defeated before your enemies.” ’
耶和华吩咐我说: ‘你对他们说: 不要上去, 也不要争战; 因我不在你们中间, 恐怕你们被仇敌杀败了. ’

1:43 So I spoke to you, but you did not listen; you rebelled against the command of Yahweh; you behaved presumptuously, and you went up into the hill country.
我就告诉了你们, 你们却不听从, 竟违背耶和华的命令, 擅自上山地去了.

1:44 The Amorites living in the hill country went out to oppose you and chased you as a swarm of wild honey bees do; and so they beat you down in Seir as far as Hormah.
住那山地的亚摩利人就出来攻击你们, 追赶你们, 如蜂拥一般, 在西珥杀退你们, 直到何珥玛.

1:45 So you returned and wept before Yahweh; but Yahweh did not listen to your voice and did not pay any attention to you.
你们便回来, 在耶和华面前哭号; 耶和华却不听你们的声音, 也不向你们侧耳.

1:46 You stayed in Kadesh many days; such were the days that you stayed there.
于是你们在加低斯住了许多日子. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 2

2:1 “Then we turned and set out toward the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea, as Yahweh told me, and we went around Mount Seir for many days.
“此后, 我们转回, 从红海的路往旷野去, 是照耶和华所吩咐我的. 我们在西珥山绕行了许多日子.

2:2 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
耶和华对我说:

2:3 ‘Long enough you have been skirting this mountain; turn yourselves north,
‘你们绕行这山的日子够了, 要转向北去.

2:4 and instruct the people, saying, “You are about to cross through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who are living in Seir; they will be afraid of you, and so be very careful.
你吩咐百姓说: 你们弟兄以扫的子孙住在西珥, 你们要经过他们的境界. 他们必惧怕你们, 所以你们要分外谨慎.

2:5 Do not get involved in battle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a foot’s breadth of it; since I have given Mount Seir as a possession for Esau.
不可与他们争战; 他们的地, 连脚掌可踏之处, 我都不给你们, 因我已将西珥山赐给以扫为业.

2:6 You shall buy food from them so that you may eat; and also you shall purchase water from them with money so that you may drink.
你们要用钱向他们买粮吃, 也要用钱向他们买水喝.

2:7 The fact of the matter is, Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work you have done; he knows your travels with respect to this great wilderness; forty years Yahweh your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing.” ’
因为耶和华─你的神在你手里所办的一切事上已赐福与你. 你走这大旷野, 他都知道了. 这四十年, 耶和华─你的神常与你同在, 故此你一无所缺. ’

2:8 And so we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, past the road of the Arabah, from Elath and Ezion Geber, and we turned and traveled along the route of the desert of Moab.
“于是, 我们离了我们弟兄以扫子孙所住的西珥, 从亚拉巴的路, 经过以拉他,以旬‧迦别, 转向摩押旷野的路去.

2:9 And Yahweh said to me, ‘You shall not attack Moab, and you shall not engage in war with them, for I will not give you any of his land as a possession; I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession.’
耶和华吩咐我说: ‘不可扰害摩押人, 也不可与他们争战. 他们的地, 我不赐给你为业, 因我已将亚珥赐给罗得的子孙为业. ’

2:10 (The Emim previously lived in it, a people large, numerous, and tall, like the Anakites.
(先前, 有以米人住在那里, 民数众多, 身体高大, 像亚衲人一样.

2:11 They were reckoned also as Rephaim as the Anakites were; but the Moabites called them Emim.
这以米人像亚衲人; 也算为利乏音人; 摩押人称他们为以米人.

2:12 The Horites previously lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from among themselves, as Israel did with respect to the land of their possession that Yahweh gave to them.)
先前, 何利人也住在西珥, 但以扫的子孙将他们除灭, 得了他们的地, 接着居住, 就如以色列在耶和华赐给他为业之地所行的一样. )

2:13 So now arise and cross over the wadi of Zered yourselves; and so we crossed the wadi of Zered.
现在, 起来过撒烈溪! 于是我们过了撒烈溪.

2:14 Now the length of time that we had traveled from Kadesh Barnea until the time when we crossed the wadi of Zered was thirty-eight years, until the perishing of all of that generation; that is, the men of war from the midst of the camp as Yahweh had sworn to them.
自从离开加低斯‧巴尼亚, 到过了撒烈溪的时候, 共有三十八年, 等那世代的兵丁都从营中灭尽, 正如耶和华向他们所起的誓.

2:15 The hand of Yahweh was against them to root them out from the midst of the camp until they perished completely.
耶和华的手也攻击他们, 将他们从营中除灭, 直到灭尽.

2:16 “And then when all the men of war had died from among the people,
“兵丁从民中都灭尽死亡以后,

2:17 Yahweh spoke to me, saying,
耶和华吩咐我说:

2:18 ‘You are about to cross over the boundary of Moab today at Ar.
‘你今天要从摩押的境界亚珥经过,

2:19 When you approach the border of the Ammonites, you shall not harass them, and you shall not get involved in battle with them, for I have not given the land of the Ammonites to you as a possession; because I have given it to the descendants of Lot as a possession.
走近亚扪人之地, 不可扰害他们, 也不可与他们争战. 亚扪人的地, 我不赐给你们为业, 因我已将那地赐给罗得的子孙为业. ’

2:20 (It is also considered the land of Rephaim; Rephaim lived in it previously, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummim,
(那地也算为利乏音人之地, 先前利乏音人住在那里, 亚扪人称他们为散送冥.

2:21 a people great and numerous and as tall as the Anakites; Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they dispossessed them and settled in place of them,
那民众多, 身体高大, 像亚衲人一样, 但耶和华从亚扪人面前除灭他们, 亚扪人就得了他们的地, 接着居住.

2:22 just as he did for the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them and dispossessed them, and then they settled in their place up to this day.
正如耶和华从前为住西珥的以扫子孙将何利人从他们面前除灭,他们得了何利人的地,接着居住一样, 直到今日.

2:23 And also the Avvites, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, and the Caphtorim, who came out from Caphtor, destroyed them and then settled in their place.
从迦斐托出来的迦斐托人将先前住在乡村直到迦萨的亚卫人除灭, 接着居住. )

2:24 Arise, set out and cross over the wadi of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, the king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession of it, and engage with him in battle.
你们起来前往, 过亚嫩谷; 我已将亚摩利人希实本王西宏和他的地交在你手中, 你要与他争战, 得他的地为业.

2:25 This day I will begin to place the dread of you and the fear of you before the peoples under all the heavens. They will hear the report about you, and so they will shake and tremble because of you.’
从今日起, 我要使天下万民听见你的名声都惊恐惧怕, 且因你发颤伤恸. ”

2:26 “So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon; I sent terms of peace, saying,
“我从基底莫的旷野差遣使者去见希实本王西宏, 用和睦的话说:

2:27 ‘Let me cross through your land and only along the road I will go; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left.
‘求你容我从你的地经过, 只走大道, 不偏左右.

2:28 Food for money you shall sell me, so that I may eat, and water for money you will give to me, so that I may drink; just let me cross on foot.
你可以卖粮给我吃, 也可以卖水给我喝, 只要容我步行过去,

2:29 Just as the descendants of Esau did for me, who live in Seir, and the Moabites, who live in Ar, until I cross the Jordan into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us.’
就如住西珥的以扫子孙和住亚珥的摩押人待我一样, 等我过了约旦河, 好进入耶和华─我们神所赐给我们的地. ’

2:30 But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing to let us cross through his territory because Yahweh your God hardened his spirit and made him obstinate in order to give him into your hand, just as he has now done.
但希实本王西宏不容我们从他那里经过; 因为耶和华─你的神使他心中刚硬, 性情顽梗, 为要将他交在你手中, 像今日一样.

2:31 Yahweh said to me, ‘Look! I have begun to give over to you Sihon and his land; begin to take possession of his land.’
耶和华对我说: ‘从此起首, 我要将西宏和他的地交给你; 你要得他的地为业. ’

2:32 Then Sihon and all his people came out to meet us for battle at Jahaz.
那时, 西宏和他的众民出来攻击我们, 在雅杂与我们交战.

2:33 And so Yahweh our God gave him over to us, and we struck him down, and his sons and all of his people.
耶和华─我们的神将他交给我们, 我们就把他和他的儿子, 并他的众民, 都击杀了.

2:34 So we captured all of his cities at that time, and we destroyed each town of males and the women and the children; we did not leave behind a survivor.
我们夺了他的一切城邑, 将有人烟的各城, 连女人带孩子, 尽都毁灭, 没有留下一个.

2:35 We took only the livestock as spoil for ourselves, and also the booty of the cities that we had captured.
惟有牲畜和所夺的各城, 并其中的财物, 都取为自己的掠物.

2:36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi of Arnon and the city that was in the wadi on up to Gilead, there was not a city that was inaccessible to us; Yahweh our God gave everything to us.
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城, 直到基列, 耶和华─我们的神都交给我们了, 没有一座城高得使我们不能攻取的.

2:37 Only the land of the Ammonites you did not approach, all along the whole upper region of the Jabbok River and the towns of the hill country, according to all that Yahweh our God had instructed.
惟有亚扪人之地, 凡靠近雅博河的地, 并山地的城邑, 与耶和华─我们神所禁止我们去的地方, 都没有挨近. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 3

3:1 “Then we turned, and we went up the road to Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us, he and all of his army for the battle at Edrei.
“以后, 我们转回, 向巴珊去. 巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来, 在以得来与我们交战.

3:2 And Yahweh said to me, ‘You should not fear him, for I have given him and all of his army and his land into your hand. And so you will do to him as you did to Sihon the king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon.’
耶和华对我说: ‘不要怕他! 因我已将他和他的众民, 并他的地, 都交在你手中; 你要待他像从前待住希实本的亚摩利王西宏一样. ’

3:3 And so Yahweh our God also gave Og the king of Bashan, and all of his army into our hand, and we struck him down until not a survivor remained to him.
于是耶和华─我们的神也将巴珊王噩和他的众民都交在我们手中; 我们杀了他们, 没有留下一个.

3:4 And we captured all of his towns at that time; there was not a city that we did not take from them.
那时, 我们夺了他所有的城, 共有六十座, 没有一座城不被我们所夺. 这为亚珥歌伯的全境, 就是巴珊地噩王的国.

3:5 All of these were fortified towns with high walls, gates, and bars, apart from very many of the villages of the open country.
这些城都有坚固的高墙, 有门有闩. 此外还有许多无城墙的乡村.

3:6 And so we destroyed them just as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon; we destroyed utterly each town of males, the women, and the little children.
我们将这些都毁灭了, 像从前待希实本王西宏一样, 把有人烟的各城, 连女人带孩子, 尽都毁灭;

3:7 But all of the livestock and the booty of the towns we kept as spoil for ourselves.
惟有一切牲畜和城中的财物都取为自己的掠物.

3:8 “And so we took at that time the land from the control of the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, from the wadi of Arnon up to Mount Hermon.
那时, 我们从约旦河东两个亚摩利王的手将亚嫩谷直到黑门山之地夺过来

3:9 (The Sidonians called Hermon ‘Sirion,’ and the Amorites called it ‘Senir.’)
(这黑门山, 西顿人称为西连, 亚摩利人称为示尼珥),

3:10 All of the towns of the plateau and the whole of Gilead and all of Bashan up to Salecah and Edrei, the towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
就是夺了平原的各城,基列全地,巴珊全地, 直到撒迦和以得来, 都是巴珊王噩国内的城邑.

3:11 (For only Og, king of Bashan, was left from the remnant of the Rephaim. Indeed, his bedstead—it was a bedstead of iron. It is in Rabbah of the Ammonites. Nine cubits is its length, and four cubits is its width according to the cubit of a man.)
(利乏音人所剩下的只有巴珊王噩. 他的床是铁的, 长九肘, 宽四肘, 都是以人肘为度. 现今岂不是在亚扪人的拉巴吗? )”

3:12 And so we took possession of this land at that time, from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and also half of the hill country of Gilead and its towns I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
“那时, 我们得了这地. 从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥起, 我将基列山地的一半, 并其中的城邑, 都给了流便人和迦得人.

3:13 And the remainder of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the whole region of Argo. All of that area of Bashan was called the land of the Rephaim.
其余的基列地和巴珊全地, 就是噩王的国, 我给了玛拿西半支派. 亚珥歌伯全地乃是巴珊全地; 这叫做利乏音人之地.

3:14 Jair the descendant of Manasseh acquired the whole region of Argob, up to the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and he called it, that is Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, as it still is today.
玛拿西的子孙睚珥占了亚珥歌伯全境, 直到基述人和玛迦人的交界, 就按自己的名称这巴珊地为哈倭特‧睚珥, 直到今日.

3:15 And also I gave Gilead to Makir.
我又将基列给了玛吉.

3:16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave, from Gilead up to the wadi of Arnon, the middle of the wadi as a boundary and up to the Jabbok River, the boundary of the Ammonites.
从基列到亚嫩谷, 以谷中为界, 直到亚扪人交界的雅博河, 我给了流便人和迦得人,

3:17 And the Jordan Valley with the Jordan River as its boundary, from Kinnereth up to the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, with the slopes of Pisgah toward the east.
又将亚拉巴和靠近约旦河之地, 从基尼烈直到亚拉巴海, 就是盐海, 并毘斯迦山根东边之地, 都给了他们.

3:18 “And I charged you all at that time when I said, “Yahweh has given you—to all of you—this land to possess. All the warriors shall cross over, ready to fight, before your brothers, the Israelites.
“那时, 我吩咐你们说: ‘耶和华─你们的神已将这地赐给你们为业; 你们所有的勇士都要带着兵器, 在你们的弟兄以色列人前面过去.

3:19 Only your wives and your little children and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) must stay in your towns that I have given you,
但你们的妻子,孩子,牲畜(我知道你们有许多的牲畜)可以住在我所赐给你们的各城里.

3:20 until Yahweh shall give rest to your brothers as he did to you, and also they take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to them beyond the Jordan; then they may return, each one to his possession that I have given to them.
等到你们弟兄在约旦河那边, 也得耶和华─你们神所赐给他们的地, 又使他们得享平安, 与你们一样, 你们才可以回到我所赐给你们为业之地. ’

3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes see all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings; so Yahweh will do to all of the kingdoms where you are about to cross over to.
那时我吩咐约书亚说: ‘你亲眼看见了耶和华─你神向这二王所行的; 耶和华也必向你所要去的各国照样行.

3:22 You shall not fear them, for Yahweh your God is the one fighting for you.
你不要怕他们, 因那为你争战的是耶和华─你的神. ’”

3:23 “And I pleaded with Yahweh at that time, saying,
“那时, 我恳求耶和华说:

3:24 ‘Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your strong hand, for what god is there in the heaven or on the earth who can do according to your works and according to your mighty deeds?
‘主耶和华啊, 你已将你的大力大能显给仆人看. 在天上, 在地下, 有甚么神能像你行事,像你有大能的作为呢?

3:25 Let me cross over, please, and let me see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, this good hill country and Lebanon.’
求你容我过去, 看约旦河那边的美地, 就是那佳美的山地和黎巴嫩. ’

3:26 But Yahweh was very angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me, and Yahweh said, ‘Enough of that from you! You shall not speak to me any longer about this matter!
但耶和华因你们的缘故向我发怒, 不应允我, 对我说: ‘罢了! 你不要向我再提这事.

3:27 Go up to the top of Pisgah and look around you toward the west, toward the north, and toward the east, and view the land with your eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.
你且上毘斯迦山顶去, 向东,西,南,北举目观望, 因为你必不能过这约旦河.

3:28 Now instruct Joshua and support him and encourage him because he himself will cross over before this people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.’
你却要嘱咐约书亚, 勉励他, 使他胆壮; 因为他必在这百姓前面过去, 使他们承受你所要观看之地. ’

3:29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth Peor.
于是我们住在伯‧毘珥对面的谷中. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 4

4:1 “Now, Israel, listen to the rules and to the regulations that I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and you may go in and you may take possession of the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, is giving to you.
“以色列人哪, 现在我所教训你们的律例典章, 你们要听从遵行, 好叫你们存活, 得以进入耶和华─你们列祖之神所赐给你们的地, 承受为业.

4:2 You must not add to the word that I am commanding you, and you shall not take away from it in order to keep the commands of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you to observe.
所吩咐你们的话, 你们不可加添, 也不可删减, 好叫你们遵守我所吩咐的, 就是耶和华─你们神的命令.

4:3 Your eyes have seen what Yahweh did with the case of Baal Peor, for each man that followed after Baal Peor Yahweh your God destroyed from your midst.
耶和华因巴力‧毘珥的事所行的, 你们亲眼看见了. 凡随从巴力‧毘珥的人, 耶和华─你们的神都从你们中间除灭了.

4:4 But you, the ones holding fast to Yahweh your God, are all alive today.
惟有你们专靠耶和华─你们神的人, 今日全都存活.

4:5 See, I now teach you rules and regulations just as Yahweh my God has commanded me, to observe them just so in the midst of the land where you are going, to take possession of it.
我照着耶和华─我神所吩咐的将律例典章教训你们, 使你们在所要进去得为业的地上遵行.

4:6 And you must observe them diligently, for that is your wisdom and your insight before the eyes of the people, who will hear all of these rules, and they will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people.’
所以你们要谨守遵行; 这就是你们在万民眼前的智慧,聪明. 他们听见这一切律例, 必说: ‘这大国的人真是有智慧, 有聪明! ’

4:7 For what great nation has for it a god near to it as Yahweh our God, whenever we call upon him?
哪一大国的人有神与他们相近, 像耶和华─我们的神,在我们求告他的时候与我们相近呢?

4:8 And what other great nation has for it just rules and regulations just like this whole law that I am setting before you today?
又哪一大国有这样公义的律例典章,像我今日在你们面前所陈明的这一切律法呢?

4:9 “However, take care for yourself and watch your inner self closely, so that you do not forget the things that your eyes have seen, so that they do not slip from your mind all the days of your life; and you shall make them known to your children and to your grandchildren.
“你只要谨慎, 殷勤保守你的心灵, 免得忘记你亲眼所看见的事, 又免得你一生,这事离开你的心; 总要传给你的子子孙孙.

4:10 Remember the day that you stood before Yahweh your God at Horeb when Yahweh said to me, ‘Summon for me the people so that I can tell them my words, that they may learn to fear me all of the days they are alive on the earth and so that they may teach their children.’
你在何烈山站在耶和华─你神面前的那日, 耶和华对我说: ‘你为我招聚百姓, 我要叫他们听见我的话, 使他们存活在世的日子, 可以学习敬畏我, 又可以教训儿女这样行. ’

4:11 And so you came near, and you stood under the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire up to the heart of the heaven, dark with a very thick cloud.
那时你们近前来, 站在山下; 山上有火焰冲天, 并有昏黑,密云,幽暗.

4:12 And Yahweh spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard a sound of words, but you did not see a form—only a voice.
耶和华从火焰中对你们说话, 你们只听见声音, 却没有看见形像.

4:13 And he declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he charged you to observe, and he wrote them on the two tablets of stone.
他将所吩咐你们当守的约指示你们, 就是十条诫, 并将这诫写在两块石版上.

4:14 And Yahweh charged me at that time to teach you rules and regulations for your observation of them in the land that you are about to cross into to take possession of it.
那时耶和华又吩咐我将律例典章教训你们, 使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行. ”

4:15 “So you must be very careful for yourselves, because you did not see any form on the day Yahweh spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire,
“所以, 你们要分外谨慎; 因为耶和华在何烈山,从火中对你们说话的那日, 你们没有看见甚么形像.

4:16 so that you do not ruin yourselves and make for yourselves a divine image in a form of any image, a replica of male or female,
惟恐你们败坏自己, 雕刻偶像, 仿佛甚么男像女像,

4:17 a replica of any animal that is upon the earth, a replica of any winged bird that flies in the air,
或地上走兽的像, 或空中飞鸟的像,

4:18 a replica of any creeping thing on the ground, a replica of any fish that is in the water below the earth.
或地上爬物的像, 或地底下水中鱼的像.

4:19 And do this so that you do not lift your eyes toward heaven and observe the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of the heaven, and be led astray and bow down to them and serve them, things that Yahweh your God has allotted to all of the peoples under all of the heaven.
又恐怕你向天举目观看, 见耶和华─你的神为天下万民所摆列的日月星, 就是天上的万象, 自己便被勾引敬拜事奉它.

4:20 But Yahweh has taken you and brought you out from the furnace of iron, from Egypt, to be a people of inheritance to him, as it is this day.
耶和华将你们从埃及领出来, 脱离铁炉, 要特作自己产业的子民, 像今日一样.

4:21 “And Yahweh was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I would not cross the Jordan and that I would not go to the good land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance.
耶和华又因你们的缘故向我发怒, 起誓必不容我过约旦河, 也不容我进入耶和华─你神所赐你为业的那美地.

4:22 For I am going to die in this land; I am not going to cross the Jordan, but you are going to cross, and you are going to take possession of this good land.
我只得死在这地, 不能过约旦河; 但你们必过去得那美地.

4:23 Watch out for yourselves so that you do not forget the covenant of Yahweh your God that he had made with you and make for yourselves a divine image of the form of anything that Yahweh your God has forbidden,
你们要谨慎, 免得忘记耶和华─你们神与你们所立的约, 为自己雕刻偶像, 就是耶和华─你神所禁止你做的偶像;

4:24 for Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
因为耶和华─你的神乃是烈火, 是忌邪的神.

4:25 “When you have had children and grandchildren and you have grown old in the land and you act corruptly and you make a divine image of the form of anything and you do evil in the eyes of Yahweh your God, thus provoking him to anger,
“你们在那地住久了, 生子生孙, 就雕刻偶像, 仿佛甚么形像, 败坏自己, 行耶和华─你神眼中看为恶的事, 惹他发怒.

4:26 I call to witness against you today the heaven and the earth, that you will perish soon and completely from the land that you are crossing the Jordan into it to take possession of it; you will not live long on it, but you will be completely destroyed.
我今日呼天唤地向你们作见证, 你们必在过约旦河得为业的地上速速灭尽! 你们不能在那地上长久, 必尽行除灭.

4:27 And Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations to where Yahweh will lead you.
耶和华必使你们分散在万民中; 在他所领你们到的万国里, 你们剩下的人数稀少.

4:28 And you will there serve gods made by human hands, of wood and stone, gods that cannot see and cannot hear and cannot eat and cannot smell.
在那里, 你们必事奉人手所造的神, 就是用木石造成,不能看,不能听,不能吃,不能闻的神.

4:29 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God and will find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
但你们在那里必寻求耶和华─你的神. 你尽心尽性寻求他的时候, 就必寻见.

4:30 In your distress when all these things have found you in the latter days, then you will return to Yahweh your God, and you will listen to his voice.
日后你遭遇一切患难的时候, 你必归回耶和华─你的神, 听从他的话.

4:31 For Yahweh your God is a compassionate God; he will not abandon you, and he will not destroy you, and he will not forget the covenant of your ancestors that he swore to them.
耶和华─你神原是有怜悯的神; 他总不撇下你, 不灭绝你, 也不忘记他起誓与你列祖所立的约.

4:32 “Yes, ask, please, about former days that preceded you from the day that God created humankind on the earth; ask even from one end of the heaven up to the other end of heaven whether anything ever happened like this great thing or whether anything like it was ever heard.
“你且考察在你以前的世代, 自神造人在世以来, 从天这边到天那边, 曾有何民听见神在火中说话的声音, 像你听见还能存活呢? 这样的大事何曾有,何曾听见呢?

4:33 Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, just as you heard it, and lived?
a

4:34 Or has a god ever attempted to go to take for himself a nation from the midst of a nation, using trials and signs and wonders and war, with an outstretched arm and with great and awesome deeds, like all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
神何曾从别的国中将一国的人民领出来, 用试验,神蹟,奇事,争战,大能的手, 和伸出来的膀臂, 并大可畏的事, 像耶和华─你们的神在埃及, 在你们眼前为你们所行的一切事呢?

4:35 You yourselves were shown this wonder in order for you to acknowledge that Yahweh is the God; there is no other God besides him.
这是显给你看, 要使你知道, 惟有耶和华─他是神, 除他以外, 再无别神.

4:36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to teach you, and on the earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from the midst of the fire.
他从天上使你听见他的声音, 为要教训你, 又在地上使你看见他的烈火, 并且听见他从火中所说的话.

4:37 And because he loved your ancestors he chose their descendants after them. And he brought you forth from Egypt with his own presence, by his great strength,
因他爱你的列祖, 所以拣选他们的后裔, 用大能亲自领你出了埃及,

4:38 to drive out nations greater and more numerous than you from before you, to bring you and to give to you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.
要将比你强大的国民从你面前赶出, 领你进去, 将他们的地赐你为业, 像今日一样.

4:39 So you shall acknowledge today, and you must call to mind that Yahweh is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no other God.
所以, 今日你要知道, 也要记在心上, 天上地下惟有耶和华他是神, 除他以外, 再无别神.

4:40 And you shall keep his rules and his commandments that I am commanding you today, so that it may go well for you and for your children after you, and so that you may remain a long time on the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you during all of those days.”
我今日将他的律例诫命晓谕你, 你要遵守, 使你和你的子孙可以得福, 并使你的日子在耶和华─你神所赐的地上得以长久. ”

4:41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the other side of the Jordan, toward the east,
“那时, 摩西在约旦河东, 向日出之地, 分定三座城,

4:42 in order for a manslayer to flee there who has killed his neighbor without intent and was not hating him previously, and so he could flee to one of these cities and be safe.
使那素无仇恨,无心杀了人的, 可以逃到这三城之中的一座城, 就得存活:

4:43 He set apart Bezer in the wilderness in the land of the plateau of the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan of the Manassites.
为流便人分定旷野平原的比悉; 为迦得人分定基列的拉末; 为玛拿西人分定巴珊的哥兰. ”

4:44 Now this is the law that Moses set before the Israelites;
摩西在以色列人面前所陈明的律法─

4:45 these are the legal provisions and the rules and the regulations that Moses spoke to the Israelites when they left Egypt,
就是摩西在以色列人出埃及后所传给他们的法度,律例,典章;

4:46 beyond the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth Peor in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon and whom Moses and the Israelites defeated when they came out of Egypt.
在约旦河东伯‧毘珥对面的谷中, 在住希实本,亚摩利王西宏之地; 这西宏是摩西和以色列人出埃及后所击杀的.

4:47 And so they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, eastward,
他们得了他的地, 又得了巴珊王噩的地, 就是两个亚摩利王, 在约旦河东向日出之地.

4:48 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the wadi of Arnon and as far as Mount Sirion; that is, Hermon,
从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥, 直到西云山, 就是黑门山.

4:49 and all of the Arabah beyond the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.
还有约旦河东的全亚拉巴, 直到亚拉巴海, 靠近毘斯迦山根.

Deuteronomy - Chapter 5

5:1 And then Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the rules and the regulations that I am speaking in your ears today, and you shall learn them, and you must observe them diligently.
摩西将以色列众人召了来, 对他们说: “以色列人哪, 我今日晓谕你们的律例典章, 你们要听, 可以学习, 谨守遵行.

5:2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
耶和华─我们的神在何烈山与我们立约.

5:3 It was not with our ancestors that Yahweh made this covenant, but with these of us who are here alive today.
这约不是与我们列祖立的, 乃是与我们今日在这里存活之人立的.

5:4 Face to face Yahweh spoke with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire.
耶和华在山上, 从火中, 面对面与你们说话─

5:5 I was standing between Yahweh and you at that time to report to you the word of Yahweh, for you were afraid because of the presence of the fire, and so you did not go up the mountain. He said,
那时我站在耶和华和你们中间, 要将耶和华的话传给你们; 因为你们惧怕那火, 没有上山─说:

5:6 ‘I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
“‘我是耶和华─你的神, 曾将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来.

5:7 There shall not be for you other gods besides me.
“‘除了我以外, 你不可有别的神.

5:8 ‘You shall not make for yourself a divine image of any type of form that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.
“‘不可为自己雕刻偶像, 也不可做甚么形像, 仿佛上天,下地和地底下,水中的百物.

5:9 ‘You shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, punishing the guilt of fathers upon their children and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those hating me,
不可跪拜那些像, 也不可事奉它, 因为我耶和华─你的神是忌邪的神. 恨我的, 我必追讨他的罪, 自父及子, 直到三,四代;

5:10 but showing loyal love to thousands of those who love me and of those who keep my commandments.
爱我,守我诫命的, 我必向他们发慈爱, 直到千代.

5:11 ‘You shall not take up the name of Yahweh your God for a worthless purpose, for Yahweh will not leave unpunished anyone who uses his name for a worthless purpose.
“‘不可妄称耶和华─你神的名; 因为妄称耶和华名的, 耶和华必不以他为无罪.

5:12 ‘Observe the Sabbath day to make it holy, just as Yahweh your God has commanded you.
“‘当照耶和华─你神所吩咐的守安息日为圣日.

5:13 Six days you shall work, and you shall do all of your work,
六日要劳碌做你一切的工,

5:14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath unto Yahweh your God; you shall not do any work, or your son, or your daughter, or your slave, or your slave woman, or your ox, or your donkey, or any of your domestic animals, or your resident alien who is in your towns, so that your slave and your slave woman may rest as you rest.
但第七日是向耶和华─你神当守的安息日. 这一日, 你和你的儿女,仆婢,牛,驴,牲畜, 并在你城里寄居的客旅, 无论何工都不可做, 使你的仆婢可以和你一样安息.

5:15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore, Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath.
你也要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆; 耶和华─你神用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂将你从那里领出来. 因此, 耶和华─你的神吩咐你守安息日.

5:16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, so that it will be good for you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you.
“‘当照耶和华─你神所吩咐的孝敬父母, 使你得福, 并使你的日子在耶和华─你神所赐你的地上得以长久.

5:17 ‘You shall not murder.
“‘不可杀人.

5:18 ‘And you shall not commit adultery.
“‘不可奸淫.

5:19 ‘And you shall not steal.
“‘不可偷盗.

5:20 ‘And you shall not falsely bear evidence against your neighbor.
“‘不可作假见证陷害人.

5:21 ‘And you shall not covet the wife of your neighbor, and you shall not crave the house of your neighbor, his field or his slave or his slave woman or his ox and his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’
“‘不可贪恋人的妻子; 也不可贪图人的房屋,田地,仆婢,牛,驴, 并他一切所有的. ’

5:22 “These words Yahweh spoke to your whole assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire and the very thick cloud with a loud voice, and he did not add anything, and then he wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
“这些话是耶和华在山上, 从火中,云中,幽暗中, 大声晓谕你们全会众的; 此外并没有添别的话. 他就把这话写在两块石版上, 交给我了. ”

5:23 And then when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, and as the mountain was burning with fire, and and all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me,
“那时, 火焰烧山, 你们听见从黑暗中出来的声音; 你们支派中所有的首领和长老都来就近我,

5:24 you said, ‘Look, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire; this day we have seen that God can speak with a human being, yet he remains alive.
说: ‘看哪, 耶和华─我们神将他的荣光和他的大能显给我们看, 我们又听见他的声音从火中出来. 今日我们得见神与人说话, 人还存活.

5:25 And so then why shall we die, for this great fire will consume us if we continue to hear the voice of Yahweh our God any longer, and so we shall die?
现在这大火将要烧灭我们, 我们何必冒死呢? 若再听见耶和华─我们神的声音就必死亡.

5:26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire as we have heard it and remained alive?
凡属血气的, 曾有何人听见永生神的声音从火中出来, 像我们听见还能存活呢?

5:27 You go near and hear everything that Yahweh our God will say; and then you tell us all that Yahweh our God tells you, and we will listen, and we will do it.’
求你近前去, 听耶和华─我们神所要说的一切话, 将他对你说的话都传给我们, 我们就听从遵行. ’

5:28 “And Yahweh heard the sound of your words when you spoke to me, and Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard the sound of the words of this people that they have spoken to you; they are right with respect to all that they have spoken.
“你们对我说的话, 耶和华都听见了. 耶和华对我说: ‘这百姓的话, 我听见了; 他们所说的都是.

5:29 If only they had such a mind’; that is, to fear me and to keep all my commandments at all times, so that it will go well for them and for their children forever.
惟愿他们存这样的心敬畏我, 常遵守我的一切诫命, 使他们和他们的子孙永远得福.

5:30 Go! Say to them, “Return to your tents.”
你去对他们说: 你们回帐棚去吧!

5:31 But you stand here with me, and let me tell you all of the commandments and the rules and the regulations that you shall teach them, so that they may do them in the land that I am giving to them to take possession of it.’
至于你, 可以站在我这里, 我要将一切诫命,律例,典章传给你; 你要教训他们, 使他们在我赐他们为业的地上遵行. ’

5:32 “So you must be careful to do just as Yahweh your God commanded you; you shall not turn to the right or to the left.
所以, 你们要照耶和华─你们神所吩咐的谨守遵行, 不可偏离左右.

5:33 In exactly the path that Yahweh your God has commanded, you must go, so that you may live and it will go well for you and you may live long in the land that you will take possession of.”
耶和华─你们神所吩咐你们行的, 你们都要去行, 使你们可以存活得福, 并使你们的日子在所要承受的地上得以长久. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 6

6:1 “Now this is the commandment, the rules and the regulations, that Yahweh your God charged to teach to you for you to observe in the land that you are about to cross over into to take possession of it,
“这是耶和华─你们神所吩咐教训你们的诫命,律例,典章, 使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行,

6:2 so that you may revere Yahweh your God by keeping all his statutes and his commandments that I am commanding you, you and your children and grandchildren, all the days of your life and so you may live long lives.
好叫你和你子子孙孙一生敬畏耶和华─你的神, 谨守他的一切律例诫命, 就是我所吩咐你的, 使你的日子得以长久.

6:3 And you shall hear, Israel, and be careful to observe these instructions, so that it may go well for you and that you may multiply greatly, just as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, promised you, in a land with milk and honey.
以色列啊, 你要听, 要谨守遵行, 使你可以在那流奶与蜜之地得以享福, 人数极其增多, 正如耶和华─你列祖的神所应许你的.

6:4 “Hear, Israel, Yahweh our God, Yahweh is unique.
“以色列啊, 你要听! 耶和华─我们神是独一的主.

6:5 And you shall love Yahweh your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your might.
你要尽心,尽性,尽力爱耶和华─你的神.

6:6 And these words that I am commanding you today shall be on your heart.
我今日所吩咐你的话都要记在心上,

6:7 And you shall recite them to your children, and you shall talk about them at the time of your living in your house and at the time of your going on the road and at the time of your lying down and at the time of your rising up.
也要殷勤教训你的儿女. 无论你坐在家里, 行在路上, 躺下, 起来, 都要谈论.

6:8 And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as an emblem between your eyes.
也要系在手上为记号, 戴在额上为经文;

6:9 And you shall write them on the doorframe of your house and on your gates.
又要写在你房屋的门框上, 并你的城门上. ”

6:10 “And then it will happen that when Yahweh your God will bring you to the land that he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you large and fine cities that you did not build,
“耶和华─你的神领你进他向你列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许给你的地. 那里有城邑, 又大又美, 非你所建造的;

6:11 and houses full of all sorts of good things that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant, and you have eaten your fill,
有房屋, 装满各样美物, 非你所装满的; 有凿成的水井, 非你所凿成的; 还有葡萄园,橄榄园, 非你所栽种的; 你吃了而且饱足.

6:12 then take care for yourself, so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out from the land of Egypt from the house of slavery.
那时你要谨慎, 免得你忘记将你从埃及地,为奴之家领出来的耶和华.

6:13 “You shall fear Yahweh your God, and you shall serve him, and by his name you shall swear.
你要敬畏耶和华─你的神, 事奉他, 指着他的名起誓.

6:14 You shall not go after other gods from the gods of the peoples who are all around you,
不可随从别神, 就是你们四围国民的神;

6:15 for Yahweh your God is a jealous god in your midst, so that the anger of Yahweh your God would be kindled, and he would destroy you from the face of the earth.
因为在你们中间的耶和华─你神是忌邪的神, 惟恐耶和华─你神的怒气向你发作, 就把你从地上除灭.

6:16 You shall not put Yahweh your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.
“你们不可试探耶和华─你们的神, 像你们在玛撒那样试探他.

6:17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God and his legal provisions and his rules that he has commanded you.
要留意遵守耶和华─你们神所吩咐的诫命,法度,律例.

6:18 And you shall do what is right and good in the eyes of Yahweh, so that it shall go well for you and so that you may go and you may take possession of the good land that Yahweh swore for your ancestors,
耶和华眼中看为正,看为善的, 你都要遵行, 使你可以享福, 并可以进去得耶和华向你列祖起誓应许的那美地,

6:19 by driving out all of your enemies before you, just as Yahweh has promised.
照耶和华所说的, 从你面前撵出你的一切仇敌.

6:20 “When your child asks you in the future, saying, ‘What is the meaning of the legal provisions and the rules and the regulations that Yahweh our God commanded for you?’
“日后, 你的儿子问你说: ‘耶和华─我们神吩咐你们的这些法度,律例,典章是甚么意思呢? ’

6:21 Then you shall say to your child, ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and Yahweh brought us out from Egypt with a strong hand.
你就告诉你的儿子说: ‘我们在埃及作过法老的奴仆; 耶和华用大能的手将我们从埃及领出来,

6:22 And Yahweh gave great and awesome signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and against his entire household in our presence.
在我们眼前, 将重大可怕的神蹟奇事施行在埃及地和法老并他全家的身上,

6:23 But he brought us out from there in order to bring us here to give us the land that he swore to our ancestors.
将我们从那里领出来, 要领我们进入他向我们列祖起誓应许之地, 把这地赐给我们.

6:24 And so Yahweh commanded us to observe all of these rules and to revere Yahweh our God for our benefit all the days that we live, as it is today.
耶和华又吩咐我们遵行这一切律例, 要敬畏耶和华─我们的神, 使我们常得好处, 蒙他保全我们的生命, 像今日一样.

6:25 And it shall be righteousness for us if we diligently observe and do all of this commandment before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us.’
我们若照耶和华─我们神所吩咐的一切诫命谨守遵行, 这就是我们的义了. ’”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 7

7:1 “When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter into it to take possession of it, and he drives out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations mightier and more numerous than you,
“耶和华─你神领你进入要得为业之地, 从你面前赶出许多国民, 就是赫人,革迦撒人,亚摩利人,迦南人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人, 共七国的民, 都比你强大.

7:2 and Yahweh your God will give them over to you and you defeat them, you must utterly destroy them; you shall not make a covenant with them, and you shall not show mercy to them.
耶和华─你神将他们交给你击杀, 那时你要把他们灭绝净尽, 不可与他们立约, 也不可怜恤他们.

7:3 And you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughter to their son; and you shall not take his daughter for your son.
不可与他们结亲. 不可将你的女儿嫁他们的儿子, 也不可叫你的儿子娶他们的女儿;

7:4 For their sons and daughters will cause your son to turn away from following me, and so they will serve other gods, and the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would quickly destroy you.
因为他必使你儿子转离不跟从主, 去事奉别神, 以致耶和华的怒气向你们发作, 就速速地将你们灭绝.

7:5 But this is what you must do to them: you shall break down their altars, and their stone pillars you shall smash, and their Asherah poles you shall hew down, and you shall burn their idols with fire.
你们却要这样待他们: 拆毁他们的祭坛, 打碎他们的柱像, 砍下他们的木偶, 用火焚烧他们雕刻的偶像.

7:6 For you are a holy people for Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be for him a people, a treasured possession from among all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.
因为你归耶和华─你神为圣洁的民; 耶和华─你神从地上的万民中拣选你, 特作自己的子民.

7:7 “Yahweh loved you and chose you not because of your great number exceeding all other peoples, for you are fewer than all of the peoples,
“耶和华专爱你们, 拣选你们, 并非因你们的人数多于别民, 原来你们的人数在万民中是最少的.

7:8 but because of the love of Yahweh for you and because of his keeping of the sworn oath that he swore to your ancestors, Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
只因耶和华爱你们, 又因要守他向你们列祖所起的誓, 就用大能的手领你们出来, 从为奴之家救赎你们脱离埃及王法老的手.

7:9 So know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the trustworthy God, maintaining his covenant and his loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
所以, 你要知道耶和华─你的神, 他是神, 是信实的神; 向爱他,守他诫命的人守约, 施慈爱, 直到千代;

7:10 but repaying those who hate him in their own person to destroy them; he is not slow with those who hate him in their own person; he repays them.
向恨他的人当面报应他们, 将他们灭绝. 凡恨他的人必报应他们, 决不迟延.

7:11 And so you shall keep the commandment and the rules and the regulations that I am commanding you today to observe them.
所以, 你要谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你的诫命,律例,典章. ”

7:12 “And then because you listen to these regulations and you diligently keep and you do them, then Yahweh your God will maintain his covenant and his loyal love that he swore to your ancestors.
“你们果然听从这些典章, 谨守遵行, 耶和华─你神就必照他向你列祖所起的誓守约, 施慈爱.

7:13 And he will love you, and he will bless you, and he will multiply you, and he will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your soil, your grain, your wine, and your olive oil, and newborn calves of your cattle, and the newborn lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you.
他必爱你, 赐福与你, 使你人数增多, 也必在他向你列祖起誓应许给你的地上赐福与你身所生的, 地所产的, 并你的五谷,新酒, 和油, 以及牛犊,羊羔.

7:14 You shall be blessed more than all of the peoples; among you there shall not be sterility and bareness, even among domestic animals.
你必蒙福胜过万民; 你们的男女没有不能生养的, 牲畜也没有不能生育的.

7:15 And Yahweh will turn away from you all the illness and all the harmful diseases of Egypt that you experienced; he will not lay them on you, but he will lay them on all of those who hate you.
耶和华必使一切的病症离开你; 你所知道埃及各样的恶疾, 他不加在你身上, 只加在一切恨你的人身上.

7:16 And you shall devour all of the peoples that Yahweh your God is giving to you; you shall not pity them, and you shall not serve their gods, which will be a snare for you.
耶和华─你神所要交给你的一切人民, 你要将他们除灭; 你眼不可顾惜他们. 你也不可事奉他们的神, 因这必成为你的网罗.

7:17 “If you think in your heart, ‘These nations are more numerous than I, so how can I dispossess them?’
“你若心里说, 这些国的民比我更多, 我怎能赶出他们呢?

7:18 then remember you must not be afraid of them; you must well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt:
你不要惧怕他们, 要牢牢记念耶和华─你神向法老和埃及全地所行的事,

7:19 the great trials that your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the workings of the strong hand and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out; so Yahweh your God will do to all of the peoples because of whom you are in fear before them.
就是你亲眼所看见的大试验,神蹟,奇事, 和大能的手, 并伸出来的膀臂, 都是耶和华─你神领你出来所用的. 耶和华─你神必照样待你所惧怕的一切人民.

7:20 And, moreover, Yahweh your God will send the hornets among them until both the survivors and the fugitives are destroyed before you.
并且耶和华─你神必打发黄蜂飞到他们中间, 直到那剩下而藏躲的人从你面前灭亡.

7:21 You must not be in dread from the presence of them, because Yahweh your God, who is in your midst, is a great and awesome God.
你不要因他们惊恐, 因为耶和华─你神在你们中间是大而可畏的神.

7:22 And Yahweh your God will clear away these nations from before you little by little; you will not be able to finish them off quickly, lest the wild animals multiply against you.
耶和华─你神必将这些国的民从你面前渐渐赶出; 你不可把他们速速灭尽, 恐怕野地的兽多起来害你.

7:23 But Yahweh your God will give them to you, and he will throw them into great panic until they are destroyed.
耶和华─你神必将他们交给你, 大大地扰乱他们, 直到他们灭绝了;

7:24 And he will give their kings into your hand, and you shall blot out their names from under the heaven; anyone will not be able to stand against you until you destroy them.
又要将他们的君王交在你手中, 你就使他们的名从天下消灭. 必无一人能在你面前站立得住, 直到你将他们灭绝了.

7:25 You shall burn the images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, and so you take it for yourself, so that you are not ensnared by it, for it is a detestable thing to Yahweh your God.
他们雕刻的神像, 你们要用火焚烧; 其上的金银, 你不可贪图, 也不可收取, 免得你因此陷入网罗; 这原是耶和华─你神所憎恶的.

7:26 And you must not bring a detestable thing into your house, or you will become a thing devoted to destruction like it; you must utterly detest it, and you must utterly abhor it, for it is an object devoted to destruction.
可憎的物, 你不可带进家去; 不然, 你就成了当毁灭的, 与那物一样. 你要十分厌恶, 十分憎嫌, 因为这是当毁灭的物. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 8

8:1 “All of the commandments that I am commanding you today you must diligently observe, so that you may live and multiply, and you may go and take possession of the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors.
“我今日所吩咐的一切诫命, 你们要谨守遵行, 好叫你们存活, 人数增多, 且进去得耶和华向你们列祖起誓应许的那地.

8:2 And you shall remember all of the way that Yahweh your God led you during these forty years in the desert in order to humble you and to test you to know what is in your heart, whether you would diligently keep his commandments or not.
你也要记念耶和华─你的神在旷野引导你这四十年, 是要苦炼你, 试验你, 要知道你心内如何, 肯守他的诫命不肯.

8:3 And he humbled you and let you go hungry, and then he fed you with that which you did not know nor did your ancestors know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone but by all that goes out of the mouth of Yahweh humankind shall live.
他苦炼你, 任你饥饿, 将你和你列祖所不认识的吗哪赐给你吃, 使你知道, 人活着不是单靠食物, 乃是靠耶和华口里所出的一切话.

8:4 Your clothing did not wear out on you, and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
这四十年, 你的衣服没有穿破, 你的脚也没有肿.

8:5 And you should know with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God is disciplining you.
你当心里思想, 耶和华─你神管教你, 好像人管教儿子一样.

8:6 So you must keep the commandments of Yahweh your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
你要谨守耶和华─你神的诫命, 遵行他的道, 敬畏他.

8:7 For Yahweh your God is bringing you to a good land with streams of water, springs and underground water, welling up in the valleys and in the hills,
因为耶和华─你神领你进入美地, 那地有河, 有泉, 有源, 从山谷中流出水来.

8:8 to a land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranate trees, a land of olive trees, olive oil and honey;
那地有小麦,大麦,葡萄树,无花果树,石榴树,橄榄树, 和蜜.

8:9 to a land where you may eat food in it without scarcity; you will not find anything lacking in it, a land where its stones are iron and from its mountains you can mine copper.
你在那地不缺食物, 一无所缺. 那地的石头是铁, 山内可以挖铜.

8:10 And you will eat, and you will be satisfied, and you will bless Yahweh your God because of the good land that he has given to you.
你吃得饱足, 就要称颂耶和华─你的神, 因他将那美地赐给你了. ”

8:11 “Take care for yourself so that you not forget Yahweh your God by not keeping his commandments and his regulations and his statutes that I am commanding you today,
“你要谨慎, 免得忘记耶和华─你的神, 不守他的诫命,典章,律例, 就是我今日所吩咐你的;

8:12 lest when you have eaten and you are satisfied and you have built good houses and you live in them,
恐怕你吃得饱足, 建造美好的房屋居住,

8:13 and your herds and your flocks have multiplied, and you have accumulated silver and gold, and all that you have has multiplied,
你的牛羊加多, 你的金银增添, 并你所有的全都加增,

8:14 then your heart becomes proud and you forget Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery,
你就心高气傲, 忘记耶和华─你的神, 就是将你从埃及地为奴之家领出来的,

8:15 the one leading you in the great and terrible desert infested with dangerous snakes and scorpions and parched ground, where there is no water, and the one bringing out water for you from flint rock,
引你经过那大而可怕的旷野, 那里有火蛇,蝎子,干旱无水之地. 他曾为你使水从坚硬的磐石中流出来,

8:16 the one feeding you manna in the desert, food that your ancestors did not know, in order to humble you and in order to test you so that he could do good to you in the future.
又在旷野将你列祖所不认识的吗哪赐给你吃, 是要苦炼你, 试验你, 叫你终久享福;

8:17 And you may think in your heart, ‘My strength and the might of my hand acquired this wealth for me.’
恐怕你心里说: ‘这货财是我力量,我能力得来的. ’

8:18 But you must remember Yahweh your God, for he is the one giving you strength to acquire wealth in order to confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors as it is today.
你要记念耶和华─你的神, 因为得货财的力量是他给你的, 为要坚定他向你列祖起誓所立的约, 像今日一样.

8:19 And it will happen that if you indeed forget Yahweh your God and you go after other gods and you serve them and you bow down before them, I warn you today that you will surely perish.
你若忘记耶和华─你的神, 随从别神, 事奉敬拜, 你们必定灭亡; 这是我今日警戒你们的.

8:20 As with the nations that Yahweh is destroying before you, so you shall perish because you would not obey the voice of Yahweh your God.
耶和华在你们面前怎样使列国的民灭亡, 你们也必照样灭亡, 因为你们不听从耶和华─你们神的话. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 9

9:1 “Hear, Israel, you are about to cross the Jordan today to go to dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you, great cities fortified with high walls,
“以色列啊, 你当听! 你今日要过约旦河, 进去赶出比你强大的国民, 得着广大坚固,高得顶天的城邑.

9:2 a great and tall people, the sons of the Anakites, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who could stand before the sons of Anak?’
那民是亚衲族的人, 又大又高, 是你所知道的; 也曾听见有人指着他们说: ‘谁能在亚衲族人面前站立得住呢? ’

9:3 You should know today that Yahweh your God is the one crossing ahead of you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will subdue them before you; so you will dispossess them, and you will destroy them quickly, just as Yahweh promised you.
你今日当知道, 耶和华─你的神在你前面过去, 如同烈火, 要灭绝他们, 将他们制伏在你面前. 这样, 你就要照耶和华所说的赶出他们, 使他们速速灭亡.

9:4 “You shall not say to yourself when Yahweh your God is driving them out before you, saying, ‘Because of my righteousness Yahweh brought me to take possession of this land’; but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh is driving them out before you.
“耶和华─你的神将这些国民从你面前撵出以后, 你心里不可说: ‘耶和华将我领进来得这地是因我的义. ’其实, 耶和华将他们从你面前赶出去是因他们的恶.

9:5 It is not because of your righteousness and because of the uprightness of your heart that you are coming to take possession of their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God is driving them before you, and in order to confirm the promise that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
你进去得他们的地, 并不是因你的义, 也不是因你心里正直, 乃是因这些国民的恶, 耶和华─你的神将他们从你面前赶出去, 又因耶和华要坚定他向你列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓所应许的话.

9:6 “So you should understand that it is not because of your righteousness that Yahweh your God is giving you this good land to take possession of it, because you are a stubborn people.
“你当知道, 耶和华─你神将这美地赐你为业, 并不是因你的义; 你本是硬著颈项的百姓.

9:7 Remember, do not forget, that you provoked Yahweh your God in the desert, and from the day that you went out from the land of Egypt until you came to this place you were rebelling against Yahweh.
你当记念不忘, 你在旷野怎样惹耶和华─你神发怒. 自从你出了埃及地的那日, 直到你们来到这地方, 你们时常悖逆耶和华.

9:8 “And remember at Horeb you provoked Yahweh, and Yahweh became angry enough to destroy you.
你们在何烈山又惹耶和华发怒; 他恼怒你们, 要灭绝你们.

9:9 When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that Yahweh made with you, and remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights, I did not eat food and I did not drink water.
我上了山, 要领受两块石版, 就是耶和华与你们立约的版. 那时我在山上住了四十昼夜, 没有吃饭, 也没有喝水.

9:10 And Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them was writing according to all the words that Yahweh spoke with you at the mountain, from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
耶和华把那两块石版交给我, 是神用指头写的. 版上所写的是照耶和华在大会的日子,在山上,从火中对你们所说的一切话.

9:11 And then at the end of forty days and forty nights, Yahweh gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
过了四十昼夜, 耶和华把那两块石版, 就是约版, 交给我.

9:12 And Yahweh said to me, ‘Come now, go down quickly from this mountain because your people behave corruptly whom you brought out from Egypt, for they turned quickly from the way that I commanded them to follow; they have made for themselves a cast image.’
对我说: ‘你起来, 赶快下去! 因为你从埃及领出来的百姓已经败坏了自己; 他们快快地偏离了我所吩咐的道, 为自己铸成了偶像. ’

9:13 And Yahweh spoke to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and look! They are a stubborn people.
“耶和华又对我说: ‘我看这百姓是硬著颈项的百姓.

9:14 Leave me alone, and let me destroy them, and let me blot out their name from under heaven, and let me make you into a nation mightier and more numerous than they!’
你且由著我, 我要灭绝他们, 将他们的名从天下涂抹, 使你的后裔比他们成为更大更强的国. ’

9:15 “And I turned, and I went down the mountain, as the mountain was burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
于是我转身下山, 山被火烧着, 两块约版在我两手之中.

9:16 And I looked, and indeed you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made for yourselves an image of a calf of cast metal; you had turned quickly from the way that Yahweh had commanded for you.
我一看见你们得罪了耶和华─你们的神, 铸成了牛犊, 快快地偏离了耶和华所吩咐你们的道,

9:17 And I took hold of the two tablets, and I threw them out of my two hands and smashed them before your eyes.
我就把那两块版从我手中扔下去, 在你们眼前摔碎了.

9:18 And then I lay prostrate before Yahweh, as earlier, forty days and forty nights; I did not eat food and I did not drink water because of all your sins that you committed, by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh and so provoking him.
因你们所犯的一切罪, 行了耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 惹他发怒, 我就像从前俯伏在耶和华面前四十昼夜, 没有吃饭, 也没有喝水.

9:19 For I was in dread from being in the presence of the anger and the wrath with which Yahweh was angry with you so as to destroy you, but Yahweh listened to me also at that time.
我因耶和华向你们大发烈怒, 要灭绝你们, 就甚害怕; 但那次耶和华又应允了我.

9:20 And with Aaron Yahweh was angry enough to destroy him, and I prayed also for Aaron at that time.
耶和华也向亚伦甚是发怒, 要灭绝他; 那时我又为亚伦祈祷.

9:21 And your sinful thing that you had made, the molten calf, I took and I burned it with fire, and I crushed it, grinding it thoroughly until it was crushed to dust, and I threw its dust into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
我把那叫你们犯罪所铸的牛犊用火焚烧, 又捣碎磨得很细, 以致细如灰尘, 我就把这灰尘撒在从山上流下来的溪水中.

9:22 “And also at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to anger.
“你们在他备拉,玛撒,基博罗‧哈他瓦又惹耶和华发怒.

9:23 And when Yahweh sent you out from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and take possession of the land that I have given you,’ you rebelled against the command of Yahweh your God, and you did not believe him, and you did not listen to his voice.
耶和华打发你们离开加低斯‧巴尼亚, 说: ‘你们上去得我所赐给你们的地. ’那时你们违背了耶和华─你们神的命令, 不信服他, 不听从他的话.

9:24 You have been rebellious toward Yahweh from the day I have known you.
自从我认识你们以来, 你们常常悖逆耶和华.

9:25 “And I lay prostrate before Yahweh through forty days, and through forty nights I prostrated myself, because Yahweh intended to kill you.
“我因耶和华说要灭绝你们, 就在耶和华面前照旧俯伏四十昼夜.

9:26 And I prayed to Yahweh, and I said, ‘Lord Yahweh, you must not destroy your people and your inheritance whom you redeemed in your greatness, whom you brought out from Egypt with a strong hand.
我祈祷耶和华说: ‘主耶和华啊, 求你不要灭绝你的百姓. 他们是你的产业, 是你用大力救赎的, 用大能从埃及领出来的.

9:27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; you must not pay attention to the stubbornness of this people, to their wickedness and to their sin,
求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各, 不要想念这百姓的顽梗,邪恶,罪过,

9:28 lest the people of the land from which you brought us out from there say, “Because Yahweh was not able to bring them to the land that he promised to them and because of his hatred toward them, he has brought them out to kill them in the desert.”
免得你领我们出来的那地之人说, 耶和华因为不能将这百姓领进他所应许之地, 又因恨他们, 所以领他们出去, 要在旷野杀他们.

9:29 For they are your people and your inheritance whom you brought with your great power and with your outstretched arm.’
其实他们是你的百姓, 你的产业, 是你用大能和伸出来的膀臂领出来的. ’”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 10

10:1 “At that time Yahweh said to me, ‘Carve for yourself two tablets of stone just as the former ones, and come up the mountain to me, and you shall make for yourself an ark of wood.
“那时, 耶和华吩咐我说: ‘你要凿出两块石版, 和先前的一样, 上山到我这里来, 又要做一木柜.

10:2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets, which you smashed, and you must put them in the ark.’
你先前摔碎的那版, 其上的字我要写在这版上; 你要将这版放在柜中. ’

10:3 And so I made an ark of acacia wood, and I carved two tablets of stone like the former ones, and I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
于是我用皂荚木做了一柜, 又凿出两块石版, 和先前的一样, 手里拿这两块版上山去了.

10:4 And he wrote upon the tablets according to the first writing, the ten words that Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly, and Yahweh gave them to me.
耶和华将那大会之日,在山上从火中所传与你们的十条诫, 照先前所写的, 写在这版上, 将版交给我了.

10:5 And I turned, and I came down from the mountain, and I put the tablets in the ark that I had made, and they are there, just as Yahweh commanded me.
我转身下山, 将这版放在我所做的柜中, 现今还在那里, 正如耶和华所吩咐我的. ”

10:6 “And the Israelites journeyed from the wells of Bene-Yaqan to Moserah; there Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar, his son, served as a priest in place of him.
(以色列人从比罗比尼‧亚干(或译: 亚干井)起行, 到了摩西拉. 亚伦死在那里, 就葬在那里. 他儿子以利亚撒接续他供祭司的职分.

10:7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land flowing with streams of water.
他们从那里起行, 到了谷歌大, 又从谷歌大到了有溪水之地的约巴他.

10:8 At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to stand before Yahweh, to serve him and to bless the people in his name until this day.
那时, 耶和华将利未支派分别出来, 抬耶和华的约柜, 又侍立在耶和华面前事奉他, 奉他的名祝福, 直到今日.

10:9 Therefore there was not for Levi an allotment or an inheritance along with his brothers; rather Yahweh is his inheritance just as Yahweh your God promised to him.
所以利未人在他弟兄中无分无业, 耶和华是他的产业, 正如耶和华─你神所应许他的. )

10:10 And I stayed on the mountain just as during the former forty days and forty nights, and Yahweh listened to me also on that occasion; Yahweh was not willing to destroy you.
“我又像从前在山上住了四十昼夜. 那次耶和华也应允我, 不忍将你灭绝.

10:11 And Yahweh said to me, ‘Come, continue your journey before the people, so that you may go and take possession of the land that I swore to their ancestors to give to them.’
耶和华吩咐我说: ‘你起来引导这百姓, 使他们进去得我向他们列祖起誓应许所赐之地. ’”

10:12 And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your God asking from you, except to revere Yahweh your God, to go in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
“以色列啊, 现在耶和华─你神向你所要的是甚么呢? 只要你敬畏耶和华─你的神, 遵行他的道, 爱他, 尽心尽性事奉他,

10:13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today for your own good.
遵守他的诫命律例, 就是我今日所吩咐你的, 为要叫你得福.

10:14 Look! For to Yahweh your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.
看哪, 天和天上的天, 地和地上所有的, 都属耶和华─你的神.

10:15 Yet to your ancestors Yahweh was very attached, so as to love them, and so he chose their offspring after them, namely you, from all the peoples, as it is today.
耶和华但喜悦你的列祖, 爱他们, 从万民中拣选他们的后裔, 就是你们, 像今日一样.

10:16 So you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and do not be stubborn.
所以你们要将心里的污秽除掉, 不可再硬著颈项.

10:17 For Yahweh your God, he is God of the gods and Lord of the lords, the great and mighty God, the awesome one who is not partial, and he does not take bribes.
因为耶和华─你们的神─他是万神之神, 万主之主, 至大的神, 大有能力, 大而可畏, 不以貌取人, 也不受贿赂.

10:18 And he executes justice for the orphan and widow, and he is one who loves the alien, to give to them food and clothing.
他为孤儿寡妇伸冤, 又怜爱寄居的, 赐给他衣食.

10:19 And you shall love the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
所以你们要怜爱寄居的, 因为你们在埃及地也作过寄居的.

10:20 Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear.
你要敬畏耶和华─你的神, 事奉他, 专靠他, 也要指着他的名起誓.

10:21 He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done with you these great and awesome things that your eyes have seen.
他是你所赞美的, 是你的神, 为你做了那大而可畏的事, 是你亲眼所看见的.

10:22 With only seventy persons your ancestors went down to Egypt, but now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the heaven with respect to multitude.
你的列祖七十人下埃及; 现在耶和华─你的神使你如同天上的星那样多. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 11

11:1 “And you shall love Yahweh your God, and you shall keep his obligations and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments always.
“你要爱耶和华─你的神, 常守他的吩咐,律例,典章,诫命.

11:2 And you shall realize today that it is not with your children who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of Yahweh your God—his greatness, his strong hand, and his outstretched arm,
你们今日当知道, 我本不是和你们的儿女说话; 因为他们不知道, 也没有看见耶和华─你们神的管教,威严,大能的手, 和伸出来的膀臂,

11:3 and his signs and his deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to all of his land,
并他在埃及中向埃及王法老和其全地所行的神蹟奇事;

11:4 and what he did to the army of Egypt and to their horses and to their chariots, and how he made the water of the Red Sea flow over them, when they pursued after them, and so Yahweh has destroyed them, as is the case today,
也没有看见他怎样待埃及的军兵,车马, 他们追赶你们的时候, 耶和华怎样使红海的水淹没他们, 将他们灭绝, 直到今日,

11:5 and what he did to you in the desert until you came up to this place,
并他在旷野怎样待你们, 以致你们来到这地方;

11:6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth wide and swallowed them, their households and their tents, and all of the living creatures that were in their possession and that were following along with them in the midst of all of Israel.
也没有看见他怎样待流便子孙以利押的儿子大坍,亚比兰, 地怎样在以色列人中间开口, 吞了他们和他们的家眷, 并帐棚与跟他们的一切活物.

11:7 The fact of the matter is, your own eyes have seen all of the great deeds of Yahweh that he did.
惟有你们亲眼看见耶和华所做的一切大事. ”

11:8 “And you must keep all of the commandments that I am commanding you today, so that you may have strength and you may go and you may take possession of that land to which you are crossing to take possession of it,
“所以, 你们要守我今日所吩咐的一切诫命, 使你们胆壮, 能以进去, 得你们所要得的那地,

11:9 so that you may live long on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to give it to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.
并使你们的日子在耶和华向你们列祖起誓,应许给他们和他们后裔的地上得以长久; 那是流奶与蜜之地.

11:10 For the fact is that the land that you are about to go into to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come out of, where you sow your seed and you give water by your foot, as in a vegetable garden.
你要进去得为业的那地, 本不像你出来的埃及地. 你在那里撒种, 用脚浇灌, 像浇灌菜园一样.

11:11 But the land that you are about to cross into to take possession of it is a land of hills and valleys, and by the rain of the heaven it drinks water,
你们要过去得为业的那地乃是有山有谷,雨水滋润之地,

11:12 a land that Yahweh your God is caring for it; continually the eyes of Yahweh your God are on it, from the beginning of the year up to the end of the year.
是耶和华─你神所眷顾的; 从岁首到年终, 耶和华─你神的眼目时常看顾那地.

11:13 “And it will happen that if you listen carefully to my commandments that I am commanding you today, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all of your heart and with all of your soul,
“你们若留意听从我今日所吩咐的诫命, 爱耶和华─你们的神, 尽心尽性事奉他,

11:14 then ‘I will send the rain for your land in its season, early rain and later rain, and you will gather your grain and your wine and your olive oil.
他(原文是我)必按时降秋雨春雨在你们的地上, 使你们可以收藏五谷,新酒, 和油,

11:15 And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and you will eat your fill.’
也必使你吃得饱足, 并使田野为你的牲畜长草.

11:16 Take care so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them.
你们要谨慎, 免得心中受迷惑, 就偏离正路, 去事奉敬拜别神.

11:17 And then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, and there shall not be rain, and so the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land that Yahweh is giving to you.
耶和华的怒气向你们发作, 就使天闭塞不下雨, 地也不出产, 使你们在耶和华所赐给你们的美地上速速灭亡.

11:18 “And you shall put these, my words, on your heart and on your inner self, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be as an emblem between your eyes.
“你们要将我这话存在心内, 留在意中, 系在手上为记号, 戴在额上为经文;

11:19 And you shall teach them to your children by talking about them when you sit in your house and when you travel on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.
也要教训你们的儿女, 无论坐在家里, 行在路上, 躺下, 起来, 都要谈论;

11:20 And you shall write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates,
又要写在房屋的门框上, 并城门上,

11:21 so that they may multiply your days and the days of your children on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give it to them as long as heaven endures over the earth.
使你们和你们子孙的日子在耶和华向你们列祖起誓,应许给他们的地上得以增多, 如天覆地的日子那样多.

11:22 Yes, if you diligently keep all this commandment that I am commanding you to observe it, by loving Yahweh your God by walking in all his ways and by holding fast to him,
你们若留意谨守遵行我所吩咐这一切的诫命, 爱耶和华─你们的神, 行他的道, 专靠他,

11:23 then Yahweh will drive out all of these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and more numerous than you.
他必从你们面前赶出这一切国民, 就是比你们更大更强的国民, 你们也要得他们的地.

11:24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, it shall be yours; your boundary shall be from the desert and Lebanon from the river, the river Euphrates, on up to the western sea.
凡你们脚掌所踏之地都必归你们; 从旷野和黎巴嫩, 并幼发拉底大河, 直到西海, 都要作你们的境界.

11:25 No one can take a stand against you; your dread and your fear Yahweh your God will put on the surface of all the land where you tread, just as he promised to you.
必无一人能在你们面前站立得住; 耶和华─你们的神必照他所说的, 使惧怕惊恐临到你们所踏之地的居民.

11:26 “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
“看哪, 我今日将祝福与咒诅的话都陈明在你们面前.

11:27 the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today,
你们若听从耶和华─你们神的诫命, 就是我今日所吩咐你们的, 就必蒙福.

11:28 and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but rather you turn from the way that I am commanding you today to go after other gods that you have not known.
你们若不听从耶和华─你们神的诫命, 偏离我今日所吩咐你们的道, 去事奉你们素来所不认识的别神, 就必受祸.

11:29 “And it will happen that when Yahweh your God has brought you to the land that you are going to, to take possession of it, then you shall pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
及至耶和华─你的神领你进入要去得为业的那地, 你就要将祝福的话陈明在基利心山上, 将咒诅的话陈明在以巴路山上.

11:30 (Are they not beyond the Jordan, toward the west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Jordan Valley, opposite Gilgal beside the terebinth of Moreh?)
这二山岂不是在约旦河那边, 日落之处, 在住亚拉巴的迦南人之地与吉甲相对, 靠近摩利橡树吗?

11:31 For you are now about to cross the Jordan to go to take possession of the land that Yahweh, your God, is giving to you, and you will take possession of it and live in it,
你们要过约旦河, 进去得耶和华─你们神所赐你们为业之地, 在那地居住.

11:32 and you must diligently observe all the rules and the regulations that I am setting before you today.”
你们要谨守遵行我今日在你们面前所陈明的一切律例典章. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 12

12:1 “These are the rules and the regulations that you must diligently observe in the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given to you to take possession of it, during all the days that you are living on the land.
“你们存活于世的日子, 在耶和华─你们列祖的神所赐你们为业的地上, 要谨守遵行的律例典章乃是这些:

12:2 You must completely demolish all of the places there where they served their gods, that is, the nations whom you are about to dispossess, on the high mountains, and on the hills and under each leafy green tree.
你们要将所赶出的国民事奉神的各地方, 无论是在高山, 在小山, 在各青翠树下, 都毁坏了;

12:3 And you shall break down their altars, and you shall smash their stone pillars, and their Asherah poles you must burn with fire, and the images of their gods you shall hew down, and you shall blot out their names from that place.
也要拆毁他们的祭坛, 打碎他们的柱像, 用火焚烧他们的木偶, 砍下他们雕刻的神像, 并将其名从那地方除灭.

12:4 You shall not worship Yahweh your God like this.
你们不可照他们那样事奉耶和华─你们的神.

12:5 But only to the place that Yahweh your God will choose from all of your tribes to place his name there as his dwelling shall you seek, and there you shall go.
但耶和华─你们的神从你们各支派中选择何处为立他名的居所, 你们就当往那里去求问,

12:6 And you shall bring there your burnt offerings and your sacrifices and your tithes and your donations and your votive gifts and your freewill offerings and the firstling of your herd and your flock.
将你们的燔祭,平安祭,十分取一之物, 和手中的举祭, 并还愿祭,甘心祭, 以及牛群羊群中头生的, 都奉到那里.

12:7 And you shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all your endeavors, you and your family in which Yahweh your God has blessed you.
在那里, 耶和华─你们神的面前, 你们和你们的家属都可以吃, 并且因你手所办的一切事蒙耶和华─你的神赐福, 就都欢乐.

12:8 “You must not do just as we are doing here today, each according to all that is right in his eyes.
我们今日在这里所行的是各人行自己眼中看为正的事, 你们将来不可这样行;

12:9 For you have not come up to now to the resting place and to the inheritance that Yahweh your God is giving to you.
因为你们还没有到耶和华─你神所赐你的安息地, 所给你的产业.

12:10 But you will cross the Jordan, and you will settle in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you as an inheritance, and he will give rest to you from all your enemies from all around, and you will live securely,
但你们过了约旦河, 得以住在耶和华─你们神使你们承受为业之地, 又使你们太平, 不被四围的一切仇敌扰乱, 安然居住.

12:11 and then at the place that Yahweh your God will choose, to let his name dwell there, there you shall bring all the things I am commanding you, your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and your donations, and all of the choice things, your votive gifts that you vow to Yahweh.
那时要将我所吩咐你们的燔祭,平安祭,十分取一之物, 和手中的举祭, 并向耶和华许愿献的一切美祭, 都奉到耶和华─你们神所选择要立为他名的居所.

12:12 And you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you and your sons and your daughters and your slaves and your slave women and the Levite who is in your towns, because there is not for him a plot of ground and an inheritance with you.
你们和儿女,仆婢, 并住在你们城里无分无业的利未人, 都要在耶和华─你们的神面前欢乐.

12:13 “Take care for yourself so that you do not offer your burnt offerings at just any place that you happen to see,
你要谨慎, 不可在你所看中的各处献燔祭.

12:14 but only at the place that Yahweh will choose among one of your tribes; there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all the things that I am commanding you.
惟独耶和华从你那一支派中所选择的地方, 你就要在那里献燔祭, 行我一切所吩咐你的.

12:15 “But whenever you desire you may slaughter, and you may eat meat according to the blessing of Yahweh your God that he has given to you in all of your towns; the unclean and the clean may eat it just as they would the gazelle and as the deer.
“然而, 在你各城里都可以照耶和华─你神所赐你的福分, 随心所欲宰牲吃肉; 无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃, 就如吃羚羊与鹿一般.

12:16 Only the blood you must not eat, but on the ground you must pour it like water.
只是不可吃血, 要倒在地上, 如同倒水一样.

12:17 You are not allowed to eat in your towns the tithe of your grain and your wine and your olive oil and the firstborn of your herd and your flock and all of your votive gifts that you vowed and your freewill offering and your donations.
你的五谷,新酒, 和油的十分之一, 或是牛群羊群中头生的, 或是你许愿献的, 甘心献的, 或是手中的举祭, 都不可在你城里吃.

12:18 But only before Yahweh your God you shall eat it, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose, you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your slave woman and the Levite who is in your towns, and you must rejoice before your God in all your undertakings.
但要在耶和华─你的神面前吃, 在耶和华─你神所要选择的地方, 你和儿女,仆婢, 并住在你城里的利未人, 都可以吃; 也要因你手所办的, 在耶和华─你神面前欢乐.

12:19 Take care so that you do not neglect the Levite all of your days on your land.
你要谨慎, 在你所住的地方永不可丢弃利未人.

12:20 “When Yahweh your God enlarges your territory just as he has promised to you, and you say ‘I want to eat some meat,’ because you want it, whenever you desire you may eat meat.
“耶和华─你的神照他所应许扩张你境界的时候, 你心里想要吃肉, 说: ‘我要吃肉’, 就可以随心所欲地吃肉.

12:21 If the place that Yahweh your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, and you slaughter any of your herd and any of your flock that Yahweh has given to you just as I have commanded you, then you may eat whenever you desire in your towns.
耶和华─你神所选择要立他名的地方若离你太远, 就可以照我所吩咐的, 将耶和华赐给你的牛羊取些宰了, 可以随心所欲在你城里吃.

12:22 Surely just as the gazelle and the deer is eaten, so both the unclean and the clean together may eat it.
你吃那肉, 要像吃羚羊与鹿一般; 无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃.

12:23 Only, be sure not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the meat.
只是你要心意坚定, 不可吃血, 因为血是生命; 不可将血(原文是生命)与肉同吃.

12:24 You shall not eat it, but on the ground you shall pour it out like water.
不可吃血, 要倒在地上, 如同倒水一样.

12:25 You shall not eat it, so that it will go well for you and your children after you, because then you will be doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh.
不可吃血. 这样, 你行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 你和你的子孙就可以得福.

12:26 Only your holy objects that are yours and your votive gifts you must carry and you must bring to the place that Yahweh will choose.
只是你分别为圣的物和你的还愿祭要奉到耶和华所选择的地方去.

12:27 And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood on the altar of Yahweh your God, and the blood of your sacrifices you shall pour out on the altar of Yahweh your God, but the meat you may eat.
你的燔祭, 连肉带血, 都要献在耶和华─你神的坛上. 平安祭的血要倒在耶和华─你神的坛上; 平安祭的肉, 你自己可以吃.

12:28 Be careful to obey all these things that I am commanding you, so that it will go well for you and for your children after you forever, because then you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
你要谨守听从我所吩咐的一切话, 行耶和华─你神眼中看为善, 看为正的事. 这样, 你和你的子孙就可以永远享福. ”

12:29 “When Yahweh your God has cut off the nations whom you are about to go to, to dispossess them before you, and you have dispossessed them, and you live in their land,
“耶和华─你神将你要去赶出的国民从你面前剪除, 你得了他们的地居住,

12:30 take care so that you are not ensnared into imitating them after their being destroyed from before you, and so that you not enquire concerning their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods, and thus I myself want to do also.’
那时就要谨慎, 不可在他们除灭之后随从他们的恶俗, 陷入网罗, 也不可访问他们的神说: ‘这些国民怎样事奉他们的神, 我也要照样行. ’

12:31 You must not do so toward Yahweh your God, because of every detestable thing they have done for their gods Yahweh hates, for even their sons and their daughters they would burn in the fire to their gods.
你不可向耶和华─你的神这样行, 因为他们向他们的神行了耶和华所憎嫌所恨恶的一切事, 甚至将自己的儿女用火焚烧, 献与他们的神.

12:32 All of the things that I am commanding you, you must diligently observe; you shall not add to it, and you shall not take away from it.”
凡我所吩咐的, 你们都要谨守遵行, 不可加添, 也不可删减.

Deuteronomy - Chapter 13

13:1 “If a prophet stands up in your midst or a dreamer of dreams and he gives to you a sign or wonder,
“你们中间若有先知或是做梦的起来, 向你显个神蹟奇事,

13:2 and the sign or the wonder comes about that he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (those whom you have not known), and let us serve them,’
对你说: ‘我们去随从你素来所不认识的别神, 事奉它吧. ’他所显的神蹟奇事虽有应验,

13:3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer, for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all of your heart and with all of your inner self.
你也不可听那先知或是那做梦之人的话; 因为这是耶和华─你们的神试验你们, 要知道你们是尽心尽性爱耶和华─你们的神不是.

13:4 You shall go after Yahweh your God, and him you shall revere, and his commandment you shall keep, and to his voice you shall listen, and him you shall serve, and to him you shall hold fast.
你们要顺从耶和华─你们的神, 敬畏他, 谨守他的诫命, 听从他的话, 事奉他, 专靠他.

13:5 But that prophet or the dreamer of that dream shall be executed, for he spoke falsely about Yahweh your God, the one bringing you out from the land of Egypt and the one redeeming you from the house of slavery, in order to seduce you from the way that Yahweh your God commanded you to go in it; so in this way you shall purge the evil from your midst.
那先知或是那做梦的既用言语叛逆那领你们出埃及地,救赎你脱离为奴之家的耶和华─你们的神, 要勾引你离开耶和华─你神所吩咐你行的道, 你便要将他治死. 这样, 就把那恶从你们中间除掉.

13:6 “If your brother, the son of your mother or your son or your daughter or your wife whom you embrace or your intimate friend in secrecy says, ‘Let us go and let us serve other gods!’ gods that you and your ancestors have not known,
“你的同胞弟兄, 或是你的儿女, 或是你怀中的妻, 或是如同你性命的朋友, 若暗中引诱你, 说: ‘我们不如去事奉你和你列祖素来所不认识的别神─

13:7 from among the gods of the people who are around you, those near you or those far from you, from one end of the earth and up to the other end of the earth,
是你四围列国的神. ’无论是离你近, 离你远, 从地这边到地那边的神,

13:8 you must not give in to him, and you shall not listen to him, and your eye shall not take pity on him, and you shall not have compassion, and you shall not cover up for him.
你不可依从他, 也不可听从他, 眼不可顾惜他. 你不可怜恤他, 也不可遮庇他,

13:9 But you shall certainly kill him; your hand shall be first against him to kill him and next the hand of all of the people.
总要杀他; 你先下手, 然后众民也下手, 将他治死.

13:10 And you shall stone him with stones and let him die, for he tried to seduce you from Yahweh your God, the one bringing you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
要用石头打死他, 因为他想要勾引你离开那领你出埃及地为奴之家的耶和华─你的神.

13:11 And all of Israel shall hear, and they shall fear, and they shall not continue to act according to this evil thing in your midst.
以色列众人都要听见害怕, 就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了.

13:12 “If you hear in one of your towns which Yahweh your God is giving to you to live in, someone saying that
“在耶和华─你神所赐你居住的各城中, 你若听人说, 有些匪类从你们中间的一座城出来勾引本城的居民, 说: ‘我们不如去事奉你们素来所不认识的别神’;

13:13 worthless men have gone out from your midst and have seduced the inhabitants of their town, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods!’ whom you have not known,
a

13:14 then you shall inquire and examine and interrogate thoroughly, and, look! It is true; the thing has actually been done, this detestable thing in your midst,
你就要探听, 查究, 细细地访问, 果然是真, 准有这可憎恶的事行在你们中间,

13:15 then you shall certainly strike down the inhabitants of that town with the edge of the sword; you shall destroy it and everything in it, its domestic animals with the edge of the sword.
你必要用刀杀那城里的居民, 把城里所有的, 连牲畜, 都用刀杀尽.

13:16 And then you shall gather all of its booty into the middle of its public square, and you shall burn the town and all of its war-booty totally for Yahweh your God, and it shall be a pile of rubble forever; it shall not be built again.
你从那城里所夺的财物都要堆积在街市上, 用火将城和其内所夺的财物都在耶和华─你神面前烧尽; 那城就永为荒堆, 不可再建造.

13:17 And let not something cling to your hand from the things devoted to destruction, so that Yahweh may turn back from his burning anger, and he may show compassion to you and he may continue to show compassion and so multiply you just as he swore to your ancestors,
那当毁灭的物连一点都不可粘你的手. 你要听从耶和华─你神的话, 遵守我今日所吩咐你的一切诫命, 行耶和华─你神眼中看为正的事, 耶和华就必转意, 不发烈怒, 恩待你, 怜恤你, 照他向你列祖所起的誓使你人数增多. ”

13:18 if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all of his commandments that I am commanding to you today so as to do the right thing in the eyes of Yahweh your God.”

14:7 Only these you may not eat from those chewing the cud and from those having a division of the hoof: the camel and the hare and the coney, because they chew the cud, but they do not divide the hoof; they are therefore unclean for you.
但那些倒嚼或是分蹄之中不可吃的乃是骆驼,兔子,沙番─因为是倒嚼不分蹄, 就与你们不洁净;

14:8 And also the pig because it has a division of the hoof but does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you; from their meat you shall not eat, and you shall not touch their carcasses.
猪─因为是分蹄却不倒嚼, 就与你们不洁净. 这些兽的肉, 你们不可吃, 死的也不可摸.

又要把你的五谷,新酒,和油的十分之一, 并牛群羊群中头生的, 吃在耶和华─你神面前, 就是他所选择要立为他名的居所. 这样, 你可以学习时常敬畏耶和华─你的神.

14:24 But if the distance is too great for you, so that you are not able to transport it, because the place that Yahweh your God will choose to set his name there, it is too far from you, when Yahweh your God will bless you,
当耶和华─你神赐福与你的时候, 耶和华─你神所选择要立为他名的地方若离你太远, 那路也太长, 使你不能把这物带到那里去,

15:1 “At the end of seven years you shall grant a remission of debt.
“每逢七年末一年, 你要施行豁免.

15:2 And this is the manner of the remission of debt: every creditor shall remit his claim that he holds against his neighbor, and he shall not exact payment from his brother because there a remission of debt has been proclaimed unto Yahweh.
豁免的定例乃是这样: 凡债主要把所借给邻舍的豁免了; 不可向邻舍和弟兄追讨, 因为耶和华的豁免年已经宣告了.

15:3 With respect to the foreigner you may exact payment, but you must remit what shall be owed to you with respect to your brother.
若借给外邦人, 你可以向他追讨; 但借给你弟兄, 无论是甚么, 你要松手豁免了.

你若留意听从耶和华─你神的话, 谨守遵行我今日所吩咐你这一切的命令, 就必在你们中间没有穷人了(在耶和华─你神所赐你为业的地上, 耶和华必大大赐福与你. )

15:5 If only you listen well to the voice of Yahweh your God by observing diligently all of these commandments that I am commanding you today.
a

15:6 When Yahweh your God has blessed you, just as he promised to you, then you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow from them, and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
因为耶和华─你的神必照他所应许你的赐福与你. 你必借给许多国民, 却不致向他们借贷; 你必管辖许多国民, 他们却不能管辖你.

15:7 If there is a poor person among you from among one of your brothers in one of your towns that Yahweh your God is giving to you, you shall not harden your heart, and you shall not shut your hand toward your brother who is poor.
“在耶和华─你神所赐你的地上, 无论哪一座城里, 你弟兄中若有一个穷人, 你不可忍着心,揝著手不帮补你穷乏的弟兄.

15:8 But you shall certainly open your hand for him, and you shall willingly lend to him enough to meet his need, whatever it is.
总要向他松开手, 照他所缺乏的借给他, 补他的不足.

15:9 Take care so that there will not be a thought of wickedness in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of the remission of debt is near,’ and you view your needy neighbor with hostility, and so you do not give to him, and he might cry out against you to Yahweh, and you would incur guilt against yourself.
你要谨慎, 不可心里起恶念, 说: ‘第七年的豁免年快到了’, 你便恶眼看你穷乏的弟兄, 甚么都不给他, 以致他因你求告耶和华, 罪便归于你了.

15:10 By all means you must give to him, and you must not be discontented at your giving to him, because on account of this very thing, Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.
你总要给他, 给他的时候心里不可愁烦; 因耶和华─你的神必在你这一切所行的, 并你手里所办的事上, 赐福与你.

15:11 For the poor will not cease to be among you in the land; therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘You shall willingly open your hand to your brother, to your needy and to your poor that are in your land.’
原来那地上的穷人永不断绝; 所以我吩咐你说: ‘总要向你地上困苦穷乏的弟兄松开手. ’”

“你弟兄中, 若有一个希伯来男人或希伯来女人被卖给你, 服事你六年, 到第七年就要任他自由出去.

15:13 And when you send him out free from you, you shall not send him away empty-handed.
你任他自由的时候, 不可使他空手而去,

15:14 You shall generously supply him from among your flocks and from your threshing floor and from your press; according to that with which Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
要从你羊群,禾场,酒醡之中多多地给他; 耶和华─你的神怎样赐福与你, 你也要照样给他.

15:15 And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you; therefore I am commanding you thus today.
要记念你在埃及地作过奴仆, 耶和华─你的神将你救赎; 因此, 我今日吩咐你这件事.

15:16 And then if it will happen that he says to you, ‘I do not want to go out from you,’ because he loves you and your family, because it is good for him to be with you;
他若对你说: ‘我不愿意离开你’, 是因他爱你和你的家, 且因在你那里很好,

15:17 then you shall take an awl, and you shall thrust it through his earlobe and into the door, and he shall be to you a slave forever; and you shall also do likewise for your slave woman.
你就要拿锥子将他的耳朵在门上刺透, 他便永为你的奴仆了. 你待婢女也要这样.

15:18 It shall not be hard in your eyes when you send him forth free, because for six years he has served you worth twice the wage of a hired worker; and Yahweh your God will bless you in whatever you will do.
你任他自由的时候, 不可以为难事, 因他服事你六年, 较比雇工的工价多加一倍了. 耶和华─你的神就必在你所做的一切事上赐福与你. ”

15:19 “Every firstling male that is born of your herd and of your flock you shall consecrate to Yahweh your God; you shall not do work with the firstling of your ox, and you shall not shear the firstling of your flock.

15:20 Rather before Yahweh your God you shall eat it year by year at the place Yahweh will choose, you and your household.
这头生的, 你和你的家属, 每年要在耶和华所选择的地方, 在耶和华─你神面前吃.

15:21 But if there is a physical defect in it, such as lameness or blindness, any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God.
这头生的若有甚么残疾, 就如瘸腿的,瞎眼的, 无论有甚么恶残疾, 都不可献给耶和华─你的神;

15:22 In your towns you shall eat it, the unclean and the clean together may eat it, just as they eat the gazelle and as they eat the deer.
可以在你城里吃; 洁净人与不洁净人都可以吃, 就如吃羚羊与鹿一般.

“在你们中间, 在耶和华─你神所赐你的诸城中, 无论哪座城里, 若有人, 或男或女, 行耶和华─你神眼中看为恶的事, 违背了他的约,

17:3 and by going and serving other gods and so he bows down to them and to the sun or to the moon or to any of the host of heaven which I have forbidden,
去事奉敬拜别神, 或拜日头, 或拜月亮, 或拜天象, 是主不曾吩咐的;

17:4 and it is reported to you or you hear about it and you enquire about it thoroughly and, indeed, the trustworthiness of the deed has been established, it has occurred, this detestable thing, in Israel,
有人告诉你, 你也听见了, 就要细细地探听, 果然是真, 准有这可憎恶的事行在以色列中,

17:5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates; that is, the man or the woman, and you shall stone them with stones to death.
你就要将行这恶事的男人或女人拉到城门外, 用石头将他打死.

17:6 On the evidence of two or three witnesses the person shall be put to death. The person shall not be put to death by the mouth of one witness.
要凭两三个人的口作见证将那当死的人治死; 不可凭一个人的口作见证将他治死.

17:7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first against the person to kill the person, and afterward the hands of all the people, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.
见证人要先下手, 然后众民也下手将他治死. 这样, 就把那恶从你们中间除掉.

17:8 “If a matter is too difficult for you, for example disputes between blood and blood, between legal claim and legal claim and between assault and assault and between matters of discernment in your towns, then you shall get up and you shall go to the place that Yahweh your God will choose;
“你城中若起了争讼的事, 或因流血, 或因争竞, 或因殴打, 是你难断的案件, 你就当起来, 往耶和华─你神所选择的地方

17:9 then you shall go to the priests and the Levites and to the judge who will be in office in those days, and you shall enquire, and they shall announce to you the verdict.
去见祭司利未人, 并当时的审判官, 求问他们, 他们必将判语指示你.

17:10 “And you shall carry out exactly the decision that they announced to you from that place that Yahweh will choose, and you shall diligently observe according to all that they instruct you.
他们在耶和华所选择的地方指示你的判语, 你必照着他们所指教你的一切话谨守遵行.

17:11 And so according to the instruction of the law that they teach you and according to the decisions that they say to you, you shall do; you shall not turn from the word that they tell you to the right or to the left.
要按他们所指教你的律法, 照他们所断定的去行; 他们所指示你的判语, 你不可偏离左右.

17:12 And the man who treats with contempt so as not to listen to the priest who is standing to minister on behalf of Yahweh your God or to the judge, that man shall die; so you shall purge the evil from Israel.
若有人擅敢不听从那侍立在耶和华─你神面前的祭司, 或不听从审判官, 那人就必治死; 这样, 便将那恶从以色列中除掉.

17:13 And all the people will hear and will be afraid, and they will not behave presumptuously again.
众百姓都要听见害怕, 不再擅敢行事. ”

17:14 “When you have come to that land that Yahweh your God is giving to you and you have taken possession of it and you have settled in it, and you say, ‘I will set over me a king like all the nations that are around me,’
“到了耶和华─你神所赐你的地, 得了那地居住的时候, 若说: ‘我要立王治理我, 像四围的国一样. ’

17:15 indeed, you may set a king over you whom Yahweh your God will choose, from the midst of your countrymen you must set a king over you; you are not allowed to appoint over you a man, a foreigner, who is not your countryman.
你总要立耶和华─你神所拣选的人为王. 必从你弟兄中立一人; 不可立你弟兄以外的人为王.

17:16 Except, he may not make numerous for himself horses, and he may not allow the people to to go to Egypt in order to increase horses, for Yahweh has said to you that you may never return.
只是王不可为自己加添马匹, 也不可使百姓回埃及去, 为要加添他的马匹, 因耶和华曾吩咐你们说: ‘不可再回那条路去. ’

17:17 And he must not acquire many wives for himself, so that his heart would turn aside; and he must not accumulate silver and gold for himself excessively.
他也不可为自己多立妃嫔, 恐怕他的心偏邪; 也不可为自己多积金银.

17:18 “And then when he is sitting on the throne of his kingdom, then he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll before the Levitical priests.
他登了国位, 就要将祭司利未人面前的这律法书, 为自己抄录一本,

17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to revere Yahweh your God by diligently observing all the word of this law and these rules,
存在他那里, 要平生诵读, 好学习敬畏耶和华─他的神, 谨守遵行这律法书上的一切言语和这些律例,

17:20 so as not to exalt his heart above his countrymen and not to turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left, so that he may reign long over his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.”
免得他向弟兄心高气傲, 偏左偏右, 离了这诫命. 这样, 他和他的子孙便可在以色列中, 在国位上年长日久. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 18

18:1 “And there shall not be for the Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, a plot of ground and an inheritance with Israel, rather they may eat an offering made by fire as their inheritance, for Yahweh.
“祭司利未人和利未全支派必在以色列中无分无业; 他们所吃用的就是献给耶和华的火祭和一切所捐的.

18:2 And there shall not be for them an inheritance of land in the midst of his brothers; rather Yahweh is his inheritance, just as he promised to them.
他们在弟兄中必没有产业; 耶和华是他们的产业, 正如耶和华所应许他们的.

18:3 Now this shall be the share of the priest from the people, from those who sacrifice the sacrifice, whether it is an ox, sheep, or goat, and they shall give the priest the shoulder and the jawbones and the stomach.
祭司从百姓所当得的分乃是这样: 凡献牛或羊为祭的, 要把前腿和两腮并脾胃给祭司.

18:4 The firstfruits of your grain, your wine, and your olive oil and the firstfruits of the fleece of your sheep you shall give to him.
初收的五谷,新酒和油, 并初剪的羊毛, 也要给他;

18:5 For Yahweh your God has chosen him from among all your tribes to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh, he and his sons forever.
因为耶和华─你的神从你各支派中将他拣选出来, 使他和他子孙永远奉耶和华的名侍立, 事奉.

18:6 And if a Levite comes from one of your towns from anywhere in Israel where he is residing, he may come whenever he desires, to the place that Yahweh will choose,
“利未人无论寄居在以色列中的哪一座城, 若从那里出来, 一心愿意到耶和华所选择的地方,

18:7 and he may minister in the name of Yahweh his God, just like all his brothers, the Levites who stand there before Yahweh.
就要奉耶和华─他神的名事奉, 像他众弟兄利未人侍立在耶和华面前事奉一样.

18:8 They shall eat equal portions, apart from what he may receive from the sale of his patrimony.
除了他卖祖父产业所得的以外, 还要得一分祭物与他们同吃. ”

18:9 “When you come to the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you, you must not learn to do like the detestable practices of those nations.
“你到了耶和华─你神所赐之地, 那些国民所行可憎恶的事, 你不可学著行.

18:10 There shall not be found among you one who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or one who practices divination, or an interpreter of signs, or an augur, or sorcerer,
你们中间不可有人使儿女经火, 也不可有占卜的,观兆的,用法术的,行邪术的,

18:11 or one who casts magic spells, or one who consults a spirit of the dead, or spiritist, or one who inquires of the dead.
用迷术的,交鬼的,行巫术的,过阴的.

18:12 For everyone doing these things is detestable to Yahweh, and because of these detestable things Yahweh your God is driving them out from before you.
凡行这些事的都为耶和华所憎恶; 因那些国民行这可憎恶的事, 所以耶和华─你的神将他们从你面前赶出.

18:13 You must be blameless before Yahweh your God.
你要在耶和华─你的神面前作完全人. ”

18:14 For these nations that you are about to dispossess listen to interpreters of signs and to diviners, but Yahweh your God has not allowed you to do the same.
“因你所要赶出的那些国民都听信观兆的和占卜的, 至于你, 耶和华─你的神从来不许你这样行.

18:15 “Yahweh your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your midst, from your countrymen, and to him you shall listen.
耶和华─你的神要从你们弟兄中间给你兴起一位先知, 像我, 你们要听从他.

18:16 This is according to all that you asked from Yahweh your God at Horeb, on the day of the assembly, saying, ‘I do not want again to hear the voice of Yahweh my God, and I do not want to see again this great fire, so that I may not die!’
正如你在何烈山大会的日子求耶和华─你神一切的话, 说: ‘求你不再叫我听见耶和华─我神的声音, 也不再叫我看见这大火, 免得我死亡. ’

18:17 And Yahweh said to me, ‘They are right in what they have said.
耶和华就对我说: ‘他们所说的是.

18:18 I will raise up a prophet for them from among their countrymen like you, and I will place my words into his mouth, and he shall speak to them everything that I command him.
我必在他们弟兄中间给他们兴起一位先知, 像你. 我要将当说的话传给他; 他要将我一切所吩咐的都传给他们.

18:19 And then the man that will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I will hold accountable.
谁不听他奉我名所说的话, 我必讨谁的罪.

18:20 However, the prophet that behaves presumptuously by speaking a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, and who speaks in the name of other gods, then that prophet shall die.’
若有先知擅敢托我的名说我所未曾吩咐他说的话, 或是奉别神的名说话, 那先知就必治死. ’

18:21 And if you say to yourself, ‘How can we know the word that Yahweh has not spoken to him?’
你心里若说: ‘耶和华所未曾吩咐的话, 我们怎能知道呢? ’

18:22 Whenever what the prophet spoke in the name of Yahweh, the thing does not take place and does not come about, that is the thing that Yahweh has not spoken to him. Presumptuously the prophet spoke it; you shall not fear that prophet.”
先知托耶和华的名说话, 所说的若不成就, 也无效验, 这就是耶和华所未曾吩咐的, 是那先知擅自说的, 你不要怕他. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 19

19:1 “When Yahweh your God has exterminated the nations concerning whom Yahweh your God is giving to you their land, and you have dispossessed them, and you have settled in their towns and in their houses,
“耶和华─你神将列国之民剪除的时候, 耶和华─你神也将他们的地赐给你, 你接着住他们的城邑并他们的房屋,

19:2 you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it.
就要在耶和华─你神所赐你为业的地上分定三座城.

19:3 You shall prepare the roads for yourselves, and you shall divide the regions of your land into thirds that Yahweh your God gives you as a possession, so that it will be available for any manslayer to flee there.
要将耶和华─你神使你承受为业的地分为三段; 又要预备道路, 使误杀人的, 都可以逃到那里去.

19:4 “Now this is the case of the manslayer who may flee there and live there who has killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously.
“误杀人的逃到那里可以存活, 定例乃是这样: 凡素无仇恨, 无心杀了人的,

19:5 For example, when somebody goes with his neighbor into the forest to cut wood, and the iron head slips from the handle of the tool and strikes his neighbor and he dies, then he may flee to one of these cities, and so he may live.
就如人与邻舍同入树林砍伐树木, 手拿斧子一砍, 本想砍下树木, 不料, 斧头脱了把, 飞落在邻舍身上, 以致于死, 这人逃到那些城的一座城, 就可以存活,

19:6 He does this lest the avenger of blood might pursue after the killer, because he is hot with anger and he overtakes him, because it is a long distance to the city of refuge, and so he kills him, but he did not deserve a death sentence, because he was not hating him before.
免得报血仇的, 心中火热追赶他, 因路远就追上, 将他杀死; 其实他不该死, 因为他与被杀的素无仇恨.

19:7 Therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘You shall set apart three cities.’
所以我吩咐你说, 要分定三座城.

19:8 Then if Yahweh your God enlarges your territory just as he swore to your ancestors and gives to you all the land that he promised to give to your ancestors,
耶和华─你神若照他向你列祖所起的誓扩张你的境界, 将所应许赐你列祖的地全然给你,

19:9 then if you diligently observe this entire commandment that I am commanding you today by loving Yahweh your God and by going in his ways at all times, then you shall add three more cities for yourselves to these three.
你若谨守遵行我今日所吩咐的这一切诫命, 爱耶和华─你的神, 常常遵行他的道, 就要在这三座城之外, 再添三座城,

19:10 Do this so that innocent blood will not be shed in the midst of your land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance and thereby bloodguilt would be on you.
免得无辜之人的血流在耶和华─你神所赐你为业的地上, 流血的罪就归于你.

19:11 But if someone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and rises up against him and murders him, and the murderer flees to one of these cities,
“若有人恨他的邻舍, 埋伏著起来击杀他, 以致于死, 便逃到这些城的一座城,

19:12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and they shall give him into the hand of the avenger of blood, and he shall be put to death.
本城的长老就要打发人去, 从那里带出他来, 交在报血仇的手中, 将他治死.

19:13 Your eye shall not take pity on him, and you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that good will be directed toward you.
你眼不可顾惜他, 却要从以色列中除掉流无辜血的罪, 使你可以得福. ”

19:14 “You shall not move the boundary marker of your neighbor that former generations set up on your property in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it.
“在耶和华─你神所赐你承受为业之地, 不可挪移你邻舍的地界, 那是先人所定的. ”

19:15 The testimony of a single witness may not be used to convict with respect to any crime and for any wrongdoing in any offense that a person committed; on the evidence of two witnesses or on the evidence of three witnesses a charge shall be sustained.
“人无论犯甚么罪, 作甚么恶, 不可凭一个人的口作见证, 总要凭两三个人的口作见证才可定案.

19:16 If a malicious witness gets up to accuse anyone to testify against him falsely,
若有凶恶的见证人起来, 见证某人作恶,

19:17 then the two men to whom the legal dispute pertains shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.
这两个争讼的人就要站在耶和华面前, 和当时的祭司, 并审判官面前,

19:18 Then judges shall make a thorough inquiry, and if it turns out that the witness is a false witness and he testified falsely against his brother,
审判官要细细地查究, 若见证人果然是作假见证的, 以假见证陷害弟兄,

19:19 then you shall do to him as he meant to do to his brother, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.
你们就要待他如同他想要待的弟兄. 这样, 就把那恶从你们中间除掉.

19:20 And the rest shall hear and shall fear, and they shall not continue to do such a thing again as this evil thing in your midst.
别人听见都要害怕, 就不敢在你们中间再行这样的恶了.

19:21 You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
你眼不可顾惜, 要以命偿命, 以眼还眼, 以牙还牙, 以手还手, 以脚还脚. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 20

20:1 “If you go out to war against your enemies and you see a horse and a chariot, an army larger that you, you shall not be afraid because of them; for Yahweh your God is with you, the one who brought you from the land of Egypt.
“你出去与仇敌争战的时候, 看见马匹,车辆, 并有比你多的人民, 不要怕他们, 因为领你出埃及地的耶和华─你神与你同在.

20:2 And then when you approach the battle, then the priest shall come near and speak to the troops.
你们将要上阵的时候, 祭司要到百姓面前宣告

20:3 And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, Israel, you are near today to the battle against your enemies; do not lose heart; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not panic, and you shall not be terrified because of them,
说: ‘以色列人哪, 你们当听, 你们今日将要与仇敌争战, 不要胆怯, 不要惧怕战兢, 也不要因他们惊恐;

20:4 for Yahweh your God is going with you to fight for you against your enemies to help you.’
因为耶和华─你们的神与你们同去, 要为你们与仇敌争战, 拯救你们. ’

20:5 And the officials shall speak to the troops, saying, ‘Who is the man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to this house, so that he does not die in battle and another man dedicates it.
官长也要对百姓宣告说: ‘谁建造房屋, 尚未奉献, 他可以回家去, 恐怕他阵亡, 别人去奉献.

20:6 And who is the man that has planted a vineyard and has not enjoyed it? Let him go and let him return to his house, so that he does not die in battle and another man enjoys it.
谁种葡萄园, 尚未用所结的果子, 他可以回家去, 恐怕他阵亡, 别人去用.

20:7 And who is the man who got engaged to a woman and has not married her? Let him go and let him return to his house, so that he does not die in battle and another man marries her.’
谁聘定了妻, 尚未迎娶, 他可以回家去, 恐怕他阵亡, 别人去娶. ’

20:8 And the officials shall continue to speak to the troops, and they shall say, ‘What man is afraid and disheartened? Let him go, and let him return to his house, and let him not cause the heart of his brothers to melt like his.’
官长又要对百姓宣告说: ‘谁惧怕胆怯, 他可以回家去, 恐怕他弟兄的心消化, 和他一样. ’

20:9 And when the officials have finished speaking to the army troops, then they shall appoint commanders of divisions at the head of the troops.
官长对百姓宣告完了, 就当派军长率领他们.

20:10 “When you approach a city to fight against it, you must offer it peace.
“你临近一座城,要攻打的时候, 先要对城里的民宣告和睦的话.

20:11 And then if they accept your terms of peace and they surrender to you, and then all the people inhabiting it shall be forced labor for you, and they shall serve you.
他们若以和睦的话回答你, 给你开了城, 城里所有的人都要给你效劳, 服事你;

20:12 But if they do not accept your terms of peace and they want to make war with you, then you shall lay siege against it.
若不肯与你和好, 反要与你打仗, 你就要围困那城.

20:13 And Yahweh your God will give it into your hand, and you shall kill all its males with the edge of the sword.
耶和华─你的神把城交付你手, 你就要用刀杀尽这城的男丁.

20:14 Only the women and the little children and the domestic animals and all that shall be in the city, all of its spoil you may loot for yourselves, and you may enjoy the spoil of your enemies that Yahweh you God has given to you.
惟有妇女,孩子,牲畜, 和城内一切的财物, 你可以取为自己的掠物. 耶和华─你神把你仇敌的财物赐给你, 你可以吃用.

20:15 Thus you shall do to all the far cities from you, which are not from the cities of these nations located nearby.
离你甚远的各城, 不是这些国民的城, 你都要这样待他.

20:16 But from the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, you shall not let anything live that breathes.
但这些国民的城, 耶和华─你神既赐你为业, 其中凡有气息的, 一个不可存留;

20:17 Rather, you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, just as Yahweh your God has commanded you,
只要照耶和华─你神所吩咐的将这赫人,亚摩利人,迦南人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人都灭绝净尽,

20:18 so that they may not teach you to do like all their detestable things that they do for their gods and thereby you sin against Yahweh your God.
免得他们教导你们学习一切可憎恶的事, 就是他们向自己神所行的, 以致你们得罪耶和华─你们的神.

20:19 “If you besiege a town for many days to make war against it in order to seize it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them, for you may eat from them, and so you must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field humans that they should come in siege against you?
“你若许久围困,攻打所要取的一座城, 就不可举斧子砍坏树木; 因为你可以吃那树上的果子, 不可砍伐. 田间的树木岂是人, 叫你糟蹋吗?

20:20 Only the trees that you know are not fruit trees you may destroy and you may cut down, and you may build siege works against that city that is making war with you until it falls.”
惟独你所知道不是结果子的树木可以毁坏,砍伐, 用以修筑营垒, 攻击那与你打仗的城, 直到攻塌了. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 21

21:1 “If someone slain is found in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it and is lying in the field, and it is not known who killed him,
“在耶和华─你神所赐你为业的地上, 若遇见被杀的人倒在田野, 不知道是谁杀的,

21:2 then your elders and your judges shall go out and shall measure the distance to the cities that are around the slain one.
长老和审判官就要出去, 从被杀的人那里量起, 直量到四围的城邑,

21:3 And then the nearest city to the slain one, the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd that has not been worked with in the field, that has not pulled a yoke,
看哪城离被杀的人最近, 那城的长老就要从牛群中取一只未曾耕地,未曾负轭的母牛犊,

21:4 and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a wadi that flows with water all year and that has not been plowed and has not been sown; then there they shall break the neck of the heifer in the wadi.
把母牛犊牵到流水,未曾耕种的山谷去, 在谷中打折母牛犊的颈项.

21:5 Then the priests, the descendants of Levi, shall come near, for Yahweh your God has chosen them to bless in the name of Yahweh, and every legal dispute and every case of assault will be subject to their ruling.
祭司利未的子孙要近前来; 因为耶和华─你的神拣选了他们事奉他, 奉耶和华的名祝福, 所有争讼殴打的事都要凭他们判断.

21:6 And all of the elders of that city nearest to the slain person shall wash their hands over the heifer with the broken neck in the wadi.
那城的众长老, 就是离被杀的人最近的, 要在那山谷中, 在所打折颈项的母牛犊以上洗手,

21:7 And they shall declare, and they shall say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, and our eyes did not see what was done.
祷告(原文是回答)说: ‘我们的手未曾流这人的血; 我们的眼也未曾看见这事.

21:8 Forgive your people, Israel, whom you redeemed, Yahweh, and do not allow the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel, and let them be forgiven with regard to blood.’
耶和华啊, 求你赦免你所救赎的以色列民, 不要使流无辜血的罪归在你的百姓以色列中间. ’这样, 流血的罪必得赦免.

21:9 And so you shall purge the innocent blood from your midst, because you must do the right thing in the eyes of Yahweh.
你行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 就可以从你们中间除掉流无辜血的罪. ”

21:10 “When you go out for battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God gives them into your hand, and you lead the captives away,
“你出去与仇敌争战的时候, 耶和华─你的神将他们交在你手中, 你就掳了他们去.

21:11 and you see among the captives a woman beautiful in appearance, and you become attached to her and you want to take her as a wife,
若在被掳的人中见有美貌的女子, 恋慕她, 要娶她为妻,

21:12 then you shall bring her into your household, and she shall shave her head, and she shall trim her nails.
就可以领她到你家里去; 她便要剃头发, 修指甲,

21:13 And she shall remove the clothing of her captivity from her, and she shall remain in your house, and she shall mourn her father and her mother a full month, and after this you may have sex with her, and you may marry her, and she may become your wife.
脱去被掳时所穿的衣服, 住在你家里哀哭父母一个整月, 然后可以与她同房. 你作她的丈夫, 她作你的妻子.

21:14 And then if you do not take delight in her, then you shall let her go to do whatever she wants, but you shall not treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
后来你若不喜悦她, 就要由她随意出去, 决不可为钱卖她, 也不可当婢女待她, 因为你玷污了她. ”

21:15 “If a man has two wives, and the one is loved and the other one is disliked and the one loved and the one that is disliked have borne for him sons, if it happens that the firstborn son belongs to the one that is disliked,
“人若有二妻, 一为所爱, 一为所恶, 所爱的,所恶的都给他生了儿子, 但长子是所恶之妻生的.

21:16 nevertheless it will be the case that on the day of bestowing his inheritance upon his sons, he will not be allowed to treat as the firstborn son the son of the beloved wife in preference to the son of the disliked wife, who is the firstborn son.
到了把产业分给儿子承受的时候, 不可将所爱之妻生的儿子立为长子, 在所恶之妻生的儿子以上,

21:17 But he shall acknowledge the firstborn son of the disliked wife by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the firstfruit of his vigor; to him is the legal claim of the birthright.
却要认所恶之妻生的儿子为长子, 将产业多加一分给他; 因这儿子是他力量强壮的时候生的, 长子的名分本当归他. ”

21:18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not listen to the voice of his father and to the voice of his mother, and they discipline him, and he does not obey them,
“人若有顽梗悖逆的儿子, 不听从父母的话, 他们虽惩治他, 他仍不听从,

21:19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him, and they shall bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his town,
父母就要抓住他, 将他带到本地的城门,本城的长老那里,

21:20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us, and he is a glutton and a drunkard.’
对长老说: ‘我们这儿子顽梗悖逆, 不听从我们的话, 是贪食好酒的人. ’

21:21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him with stones and let him die; and so you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all of Israel will hear, and they will fear.
本城的众人就要用石头将他打死. 这样, 就把那恶从你们中间除掉, 以色列众人都要听见害怕. ”

21:22 “And if a man commits a sin punishable by death, and so he is put to death and you hang him on a tree,
“人若犯该死的罪, 被治死了, 你将他挂在木头上,

21:23 his dead body shall not hang on the tree, but certainly you shall bury him on that day, for cursed by God is one that is being hung; so you shall not defile your land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance.”

29:8 And we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to the half-tribe of Manasseh.
取了他们的地给流便支派,迦得支派, 和玛拿西半支派为业.

29:9 And you must diligently observe the words of this covenant, so that you may succeed in all that you do.
所以你们要谨守遵行这约的话, 好叫你们在一切所行的事上亨通.

29:10 “You are standing today, all of you, before Yahweh your God, your leaders, your tribes, your elders, and your officials, all the men of Israel,
“今日, 你们的首领,族长(原文是支派),长老,官长,以色列的男丁, 你们的妻子儿女, 和营中寄居的, 以及为你们劈柴挑水的人, 都站在耶和华─你们的神面前,

29:11 your little children, your women and your aliens who are in the midst of your camp, from the choppers of your wood to the drawers of your water,
a

29:12 in order for you to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath that Yahweh your God is making with you today,
为要你顺从耶和华─你神今日与你所立的约, 向你所起的誓.

29:13 in order to establish you today to himself as a people and so that he may be for you as God, just as he promised to you and just as he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
这样, 他要照他向你所应许的话, 又向你列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各所起的誓, 今日立你作他的子民, 他作你的神.

29:14 “Now I am not making this covenant and this oath with you alone.
我不但与你们立这约, 起这誓,

29:15 But with whoever is standing here with us today before Yahweh our God, and with whoever is not standing here with us today.
凡与我们一同站在耶和华─我们神面前的, 并今日不在我们这里的人, 我也与他们立这约, 起这誓.

29:16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we traveled through the midst of the nations that you traveled through.
“我们曾住过埃及地, 也从列国经过; 这是你们知道的.

29:17 And you have seen their detestable things and their idols of wood and stone, silver, and gold that were among them,
你们也看见他们中间可憎之物, 并他们木,石,金,银的偶像.

29:18 so that there is not among you a man or a woman or a clan or a tribe whose heart turns today from being with Yahweh our God to go to serve the gods of these nations, so that there is not among you a root sprouting poison and wormwood.
惟恐你们中间, 或男或女, 或族长或支派长, 今日心里偏离耶和华─我们的神, 去事奉那些国的神; 又怕你们中间有恶根生出苦菜和茵蔯来,

29:19 And then when he hears the words of this oath, then he will assure himself in his heart, saying, ‘Safety shall be mine even though I go in the stubbornness of my heart,’ thereby destroying the well-watered land along with the parched.
听见这咒诅的话, 心里仍是自夸说: ‘我虽然行事心里顽梗, 连累众人, 却还是平安. ’

29:20 Yahweh will not be willing to forgive him, for by then the anger of Yahweh will smoke, and his passion against that man and all the curses written in this scroll will descend on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under heaven.
耶和华必不饶恕他; 耶和华的怒气与愤恨要向他发作, 如烟冒出, 将这书上所写的一切咒诅都加在他身上. 耶和华又要从天下涂抹他的名,

29:21 And Yahweh will single him out for calamity out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in the scroll of this law.
也必照着写在律法书上,约中的一切咒诅将他从以色列众支派中分别出来, 使他受祸.

29:22 “And the next generation, that is, your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a distant land, when they will see the plagues of that land and its diseases that Yahweh has inflicted upon it, will say,
你们的后代, 就是以后兴起来的子孙, 和远方来的外人, 看见这地的灾殃, 并耶和华所降与这地的疾病,

29:23 ‘All its land is brimstone and salt left by fire, none of its land will be sown, and it will not make plants sprout out and it will not grow any vegetation; it is as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Adman and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overturned in his anger and in his wrath.’
又看见遍地有硫磺, 有盐卤, 有火迹, 没有耕种, 没有出产, 连草都不生长─好像耶和华在忿怒中所倾覆的所多玛,蛾摩拉,押玛,洗扁一样─

29:24 And all the nations will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done such a thing to this land? What caused the fierceness of this great anger?’
所看见的人, 连万国人, 都必问说: ‘耶和华为何向此地这样行呢? 这样大发烈怒是甚么意思呢? ’

29:25 And they will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out from the land of Egypt.
人必回答说: ‘是因这地的人离弃了耶和华─他们列祖的神, 领他们出埃及地的时候与他们所立的约,

29:26 And they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods whom they did not know them and he had not allotted to them.
去事奉敬拜素不认识的别神, 是耶和华所未曾给他们安排的.

29:27 So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against that land to bring upon it all the curses written in this scroll,
所以耶和华的怒气向这地发作, 将这书上所写的一切咒诅都降在这地上.

29:28 and Yahweh uprooted them from their land in anger and in wrath and in great fury, and he cast them into another land, just as it is today.’
耶和华在怒气,忿怒,大恼恨中将他们从本地拔出来, 扔在别的地上, 像今日一样. ’

29:29 “The hidden things belong to Yahweh our God, but the revealed things belong to us to know and to our children forever, in order to do all the words of this law.”
“隐祕的事是属耶和华─我们神的; 惟有明显的事是永远属我们和我们子孙的, 好叫我们遵行这律法上的一切话. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 30

30:1 “And then when all of these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse that I have set before you and you call them to mind among the nations there where Yahweh your God has scattered you,
“我所陈明在你面前的这一切咒诅都临到你身上; 你在耶和华─你神追赶你到的万国中必心里追念祝福的话;

30:2 and you return to Yahweh and you listen to his voice according to all that I am commanding you today, both you and your children, with all your heart and with all your inner self,
你和你的子孙若尽心尽性归向耶和华─你的神, 照着我今日一切所吩咐的听从他的话;

30:3 and Yahweh your God will restore your fortunes, and he will have compassion upon you, and he will again gather you together from all the peoples where Yahweh your God scattered you there.
那时, 耶和华─你的神必怜恤你, 救回你这被掳的子民; 耶和华─你的神要回转过来, 从分散你到的万民中将你招聚回来.

30:4 “Even if you are outcasts at the end of the heavens, even from there Yahweh your God shall gather you, and from there he shall bring you back.
你被赶散的人, 就是在天涯的, 耶和华─你的神也必从那里将你招聚回来.

30:5 And Yahweh your God will bring you to the land that your ancestors had taken possession of, and he will make you successful, and he will make you more numerous than your ancestors.
耶和华─你的神必领你进入你列祖所得的地, 使你可以得着; 又必善待你, 使你的人数比你列祖众多.

30:6 “And Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring to love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your inner self so that you may live.
耶和华─你神必将你心里和你后裔心里的污秽除掉, 好叫你尽心尽性爱耶和华─你的神, 使你可以存活.

30:7 And Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, on those who harassed you.
耶和华─你的神必将这一切咒诅加在你仇敌和恨恶你,逼迫你的人身上.

30:8 And you will again listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you will do all his commandments that I am commanding you today.
你必归回, 听从耶和华的话, 遵行他的一切诫命, 就是我今日所吩咐你的.

30:9 And Yahweh your God will make you prosperous in all your undertakings, and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground abundantly, for Yahweh will again rejoice over you, just as he rejoiced over your ancestors.
你若听从耶和华─你神的话, 谨守这律法书上所写的诫命律例, 又尽心尽性归向耶和华─你的神, 他必使你手里所办的一切事, 并你身所生的, 牲畜所下的, 地土所产的, 都绰绰有余; 因为耶和华必再喜悦你, 降福与你, 像从前喜悦你列祖一样.

30:10 He will do this if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God by keeping his commandment and his statutes written in the scroll of this law and if you return to Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your inner self.
a

30:11 “For this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too wonderful for you, and it is not too far from you.
“我今日所吩咐你的诫命不是你难行的, 也不是离你远的;

30:12 It is not in the heavens so that you might say, ‘Who will go up for us to the heavens and get it for us and cause us to hear it, so that we may do it?’
不是在天上, 使你说: ‘谁替我们上天取下来, 使我们听见可以遵行呢? ’

30:13 And it is not beyond the sea, so that you might say, ‘Who will cross for us to the other side of the sea and take it for us and cause us to hear it, so that we may do it?’
也不是在海外, 使你说: ‘谁替我们过海取了来, 使我们听见可以遵行呢? ’

30:14 But the word is very near you, even in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
这话却离你甚近, 就在你口中, 在你心里, 使你可以遵行.

30:15 “See, I am setting before you today life and prosperity and death and disaster;
“看哪, 我今日将生与福, 死与祸, 陈明在你面前.

30:16 what I am commanding you today is to love Yahweh your God by going in his ways and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his regulations, and then you will live, and you will become numerous, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the land where you are going.
吩咐你爱耶和华─你的神, 遵行他的道, 谨守他的诫命,律例,典章, 使你可以存活, 人数增多, 耶和华─你神就必在你所要进去得为业的地上赐福与你.

30:17 However, if your heart turns aside and you do not listen and you are lured away and you bow down to other gods and you serve them,
倘若你心里偏离, 不肯听从, 却被勾引去敬拜事奉别神,

30:18 I declare to you today that you will certainly perish; you will not extend your time on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to go there to take possession of it.
我今日明明告诉你们, 你们必要灭亡; 在你过约旦河,进去得为业的地上, 你的日子必不长久.

30:19 I invoke as a witness against you today the heaven and the earth: life and death I have set before you, blessing and curse. So choose life, so that you may live, you and your offspring,
我今日呼天唤地向你作见证; 我将生死祸福陈明在你面前, 所以你要拣选生命, 使你和你的后裔都得存活;

30:20 by loving Yahweh your God by listening to his voice and by clinging to him, for he is your life and the length of your days in order for you to live on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
且爱耶和华─你的神, 听从他的话, 专靠他; 因为他是你的生命, 你的日子长久也在乎他. 这样, 你就可以在耶和华向你列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许所赐的地上居住. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 31

31:1 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
摩西去告诉以色列众人

31:2 And he said to them, “I am a hundred and twenty years old today; I am not able to go out and to come in any longer, and Yahweh said to me, ‘You may not cross this Jordan.’
说: “我现在一百二十岁了, 不能照常出入; 耶和华也曾对我说: ‘你必不得过这约旦河. ’

31:3 Yahweh your God is about to cross before you; he will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua will be crossing before you, just as Yahweh promised.
耶和华─你们的神必引导你们过去, 将这些国民在你们面前灭绝, 你们就得他们的地. 约书亚必引导你们过去, 正如耶和华所说的.

31:4 And Yahweh will do to them just as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to their land, which he destroyed with them.
耶和华必待他们, 如同从前待他所灭绝的亚摩利二王西宏与噩以及他们的国一样.

31:5 And Yahweh will deliver them to you before you, and you shall do to them according to every commandment that I have commanded you.
耶和华必将他们交给你们; 你们要照我所吩咐的一切命令待他们.

31:6 Be strong and be courageous; you should not be afraid, and you should not be in dread from their presence, for Yahweh your God is the one going with you; he will not leave you alone and he will not forsake you.”
你们当刚强壮胆, 不要害怕, 也不要畏惧他们, 因为耶和华─你的神和你同去. 他必不撇下你, 也不丢弃你. ”

31:7 Then Moses summoned Joshua, and he said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and be courageous, for you will go with this people into the land that Yahweh swore to their ancestors to give to them, and you will give it to them as an inheritance.
摩西召了约书亚来, 在以色列众人眼前对他说: “你当刚强壮胆! 因为, 你要和这百姓一同进入耶和华向他们列祖起誓应许所赐之地; 你也要使他们承受那地为业.

31:8 Yahweh is the one going before you; he will be with you, and he will not leave you alone, and he will not forsake you; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not be discouraged.”
耶和华必在你前面行; 他必与你同在, 必不撇下你, 也不丢弃你. 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶. ”

31:9 So Moses wrote this law, and he gave it to the priests, the descendants of Levi, the ones carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel.
摩西将这律法写出来, 交给抬耶和华约柜的祭司利未子孙和以色列的众长老.

31:10 Then Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, in the time of the year for canceling debts during the Feast of Booths,
摩西吩咐他们说: “每逢七年的末一年, 就在豁免年的定期住棚节的时候,

31:11 when all Israel comes to appear before Yahweh their God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
以色列众人来到耶和华─你神所选择的地方朝见他. 那时, 你要在以色列众人面前将这律法念给他们听.

31:12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little children and your aliens that are in your towns, so that they may hear and so that they may learn and they may revere Yahweh your God, and they shall diligently observe all the words of this law.
要招聚他们男,女,孩子, 并城里寄居的, 使他们听, 使他们学习, 好敬畏耶和华─你们的神, 谨守,遵行这律法的一切话,

31:13 And then their children, who have not known, they too may hear, and they may learn to revere Yahweh their God all the days that you live on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to get there to take possession of it.”
也使他们未曾晓得这律法的儿女得以听见, 学习敬畏耶和华─你们的神, 在你们过约旦河要得为业之地, 存活的日子, 常常这样行. ”

31:14 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you are about to die; call Joshua and present yourselves in the tent of assembly, so that I may instruct him.” So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tent of assembly.
耶和华对摩西说: “你的死期临近了; 要召约书亚来, 你们二人站在会幕里, 我好嘱咐他. ”于是摩西和约书亚去站在会幕里.

31:15 And Yahweh appeared in the tent in a column of cloud, and the column of the cloud stood at the entrance of the tent.
耶和华在会幕里云柱中显现, 云柱停在会幕门以上.

31:16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you are about to lie down with your ancestors, and this people will arise and they will play the prostitute after the foreign gods of the land to which they are going.
耶和华又对摩西说: “你必和你列祖同睡. 这百姓要起来, 在他们所要去的地上, 在那地的人中, 随从外邦神行邪淫, 离弃我, 违背我与他们所立的约.

31:17 And my anger shall flare up against them on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall become as prey, and disasters and troubles shall find them, and they shall say on that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not in our midst that these disasters have found us?’
那时, 我的怒气必向他们发作; 我也必离弃他们, 掩面不顾他们, 以致他们被吞灭, 并有许多的祸患灾难临到他们. 那日他们必说: ‘这些祸患临到我们, 岂不是因我们的神不在我们中间吗? ’

31:18 But I will certainly hide my face on that day, because of all of the evil that they did because they turned to other gods.
那时, 因他们偏向别神所行的一切恶, 我必定掩面不顾他们.

31:19 “And so then write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; put it in their mouth, so that this song may be for me as a witness against the Israelites.
现在你要写一篇歌, 教导以色列人, 传给他们, 使这歌见证他们的不是;

31:20 For when I bring them into the land that I swore to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill, and they will become fat, and then they will turn to other gods, and they will serve them, and they will spurn me, and they will break my covenant.
因为我将他们领进我向他们列祖起誓应许那流奶与蜜之地, 他们在那里吃得饱足, 身体肥胖, 就必偏向别神, 事奉他们, 藐视我, 背弃我的约.

31:21 And then many disasters and troubles will come upon them, and this song will give evidence before them as a witness, because it will not be forgotten from out of the mouth of their descendants, for I know their inclination that they are having today before I have brought them into the land that I swore.”
那时, 有许多祸患灾难临到他们, 这歌必在他们面前作见证, 他们后裔的口中必念诵不忘. 我未领他们到我所起誓应许之地以先, 他们所怀的意念我都知道了. ”

31:22 And Moses wrote this song on that day and taught it to the Israelites.
当日摩西就写了一篇歌, 教导以色列人.

31:23 Then he told Joshua the son of Nun, and said to him, “Be strong and be courageous, for you shall bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
耶和华嘱咐嫩的儿子约书亚说: “你当刚强壮胆, 因为你必领以色列人进我所起誓应许他们的地; 我必与你同在. ”

31:24 And then when Moses finished writing the words of this law on the scroll until they were complete,
摩西将这律法的话写在书上, 及至写完了,

31:25 then Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,
就吩咐抬耶和华约柜的利未人说:

31:26 “Take the scroll of this law and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you.
“将这律法书放在耶和华─你们神的约柜旁, 可以在那里见证以色列人的不是;

31:27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck even now while I am still alive with you today, rebelling against Yahweh, and how much more after my death.
因为我知道你们是悖逆的, 是硬著颈项的. 我今日还活着与你们同在, 你们尚且悖逆耶和华, 何况我死后呢?

31:28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officials, so that I may speak in their ears these words, and that I may call as witness against them heaven and earth.
你们要将你们支派的众长老和官长都招聚了来, 我好将这些话说与他们听, 并呼天唤地见证他们的不是.

31:29 For I know that after my death you will certainly act corruptly, and you will turn aside from the way that I have commanded you, and the disaster in the future days will befall you, because you will do evil in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him with the work of your hands.”
我知道我死后, 你们必全然败坏, 偏离我所吩咐你们的道, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 以手所做的惹他发怒; 日后必有祸患临到你们. ”

31:30 So Moses spoke into the ears of the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were complete.
摩西将这一篇歌的话都说与以色列全会众听.

Deuteronomy - Chapter 32

32:1 “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak, and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
诸天哪, 侧耳, 我要说话; 愿地也听我口中的言语.

32:2 May my teaching trickle like the dew, my words like rain showers on tender grass, and like spring showers on new growth.
我的教训要淋漓如雨; 我的言语要滴落如露, 如细雨降在嫩草上, 如甘霖降在菜蔬中.

32:3 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh; ascribe greatness to our God!
我要宣告耶和华的名; 你们要将大德归与我们的神.

32:4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just; he is a faithful God, and without injustice; righteous and upright is he.
他是磐石, 他的作为完全; 他所行的无不公平, 是诚实无伪的神, 又公义, 又正直.

32:5 They have behaved corruptly toward him; they are not his children; this is their flaw, a generation crooked and perverse.
这乖僻弯曲的世代向他行事邪僻; 有这弊病就不是他的儿女.

32:6 Like this do you treat Yahweh, foolish and unwise people? Has he not, your father, created you? He made you, and he established you.
愚昧无知的民哪, 你们这样报答耶和华吗? 他岂不是你的父,将你买来的吗? 他是制造你,建立你的.

32:7 Remember the old days, the years long past; ask your father, and he will inform you, your elders and they will tell you.
你当追想上古之日, 思念历代之年; 问你的父亲, 他必指示你; 问你的长者, 他必告诉你.

32:8 When the Most High apportioned the nations, at his dividing up of the sons of humankind, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the children of Israel.
至高者将地业赐给列邦, 将世人分开, 就照以色列人的数目立定万民的疆界.

32:9 For Yahweh’s portion was his people, Jacob the share of his inheritance.
耶和华的分本是他的百姓; 他的产业本是雅各.

32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in a howling, desert wasteland; he encircled him, he cared for him, he protected him like the apple of his eye.
耶和华遇见他在旷野─荒凉野兽吼叫之地, 就环绕他, 看顾他, 保护他, 如同保护眼中的瞳人.

32:11 As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads out its wings, takes them, carries them on its pinions,
又如鹰搅动巢窝, 在雏鹰以上两翅搧展, 接取雏鹰, 背在两翼之上.

32:12 so Yahweh alone guided him, and there was no foreign god accompanying him.
这样, 耶和华独自引导他, 并无外邦神与他同在.

32:13 And he set him on the high places of the land, and he fed him the crops of the field, and he nursed him with honey from crags, and with oil from flinty rock,
耶和华使他乘驾地的高处, 得吃田间的土产; 又使他从磐石中咂蜜, 从坚石中吸油;

32:14 With curds from the herd, and with milk from the flock, with the fat of young rams, and rams, the offspring of Bashan, and with goats along with the finest kernels of wheat, and from the blood of grapes you drank fermented wine.
也吃牛的奶油, 羊的奶, 羊羔的脂油, 巴珊所出的公绵羊和山羊, 与上好的麦子, 也喝葡萄汁酿的酒.

32:15 And Jeshurun grew fat, and he kicked; you grew fat, you bloated, and you became obstinate; and he abandoned God, his maker, and he scoffed at the rock of his salvation.
但耶书仑渐渐肥胖, 粗壮, 光润, 踢跳, 奔跑, 便离弃造他的神, 轻看救他的磐石;

32:16 They made him jealous with strange gods; with detestable things they provoked him.
敬拜别神, 触动神的愤恨, 行可憎恶的事, 惹了他的怒气.

32:17 They sacrificed to the demons, not God, to gods whom they had not known, new gods who came from recent times; their ancestors had not known them.
所祭祀的鬼魔并非真神, 乃是素不认识的神, 是近来新兴的, 是你列祖所不畏惧的.

32:18 The rock who bore you, you neglected, and you forgot God, the one giving you birth.
你轻忽生你的磐石, 忘记产你的神.

32:19 Then Yahweh saw, and he spurned them, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
耶和华看见他的儿女惹动他, 就厌恶他们, 说:

32:20 So he said, ‘I will hide my face from them; I will see what will be their end, for they are a generation of perversity, children in whom there is no faithfulness.
我要向他们掩面, 看他们的结局如何. 他们本是极乖僻的族类, 心中无诚实的儿女.

32:21 They annoyed me with what is not a god; they provoked me with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those not a people, with a foolish nation I will provoke them.
他们以那“不算为神”的触动我的愤恨, 以虚无的神惹了我的怒气. 我也要以那“不成子民”的触动他们的愤恨, 以愚昧的国民惹了他们的怒气.

32:22 For a fire was kindled by my anger, and it burned up to the depths of Sheol, and it devoured the earth and its produce, and it set afire the foundation of the mountains.
因为在我怒中有火烧起, 直烧到极深的阴间, 把地和地的出产尽都焚烧, 山的根基也烧着了.

32:23 I will heap disasters upon them; my arrows I will spend on them.
我要将祸患堆在他们身上, 把我的箭向他们射尽.

32:24 They will become weakened by famine, and consumed by plague and bitter pestilence; and the teeth of wild animals I will send against them, with the poison of the creeping things in the dust;
他们必因饥饿消瘦, 被炎热苦毒吞灭. 我要打发野兽用牙齿咬他们, 并土中腹行的, 用毒气害他们.

32:25 From outside her boundaries the sword will make her childless, and from inside, terror; both for the young man and also the young woman, the infant along with the gray-headed man.
外头有刀剑, 内室有惊恐, 使人丧亡, 使少男,童女,吃奶的,白发的, 尽都灭绝.

32:26 I thought, “I will wipe them out; I will make people forget they ever existed.”
我说, 我必将他们分散远方, 使他们的名号从人间除灭.

32:27 If I had not feared a provocation of the enemy, lest their foes might misunderstand, lest they should say, “Our hand is triumphant, and Yahweh did not do all this.” ’
惟恐仇敌惹动我, 只怕敌人错看, 说: 是我们手的能力, 并非耶和华所行的.

32:28 For they are a nation void of sense, and there is not any understanding in them.
因为以色列民毫无计谋, 心中没有聪明.

32:29 If only they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern for themselves their end.
惟愿他们有智慧, 能明白这事, 肯思念他们的结局.

32:30 How could one chase a thousand and two could cause a myriad to flee, if their Rock had not sold them, and Yahweh had not given them up?
若不是他们的磐石卖了他们, 若不是耶和华交出他们, 一人焉能追赶他们千人? 二人焉能使万人逃跑呢?

32:31 For the fact of the matter is, their rock is not like our Rock, and our enemies recognize this.
据我们的仇敌自己断定, 他们的磐石不如我们的磐石.

32:32 For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, and from the terraces of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
他们的葡萄树是所多玛的葡萄树, 蛾摩拉田园所生的; 他们的葡萄是毒葡萄, 全挂都是苦的.

32:33 Their wine is the poison of snakes, and the deadly poison of horned vipers.
他们的酒是大蛇的毒气, 是虺蛇残害的恶毒.

32:34 ‘Is not this stored up with me, sealed in my treasuries?’
这不都是积蓄在我这里, 封锁在我府库中吗?

32:35 Vengeance belongs to me and also recompense, for at the time their foot slips, because the day of their disaster is near, and fate comes quickly for them.’
他们失脚的时候, 伸冤报应在我; 因他们遭灾的日子近了; 那要临在他们身上的必速速来到.

32:36 For Yahweh will judge on behalf of his people, and concerning his servants; he will change his mind when he sees that their power has disappeared, and there is no one left, confined or free.
耶和华见他百姓毫无能力, 无论困住的,自由的都没有剩下, 就必为他们伸冤, 为他的仆人后悔.

32:37 And he will say, ‘Where are their gods, their rock in whom they took refuge?
他必说: 他们的神, 他们所投靠的磐石,

32:38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise up, and let them help you; Let them be to you a refuge.
就是向来吃他们祭牲的脂油, 喝他们奠祭之酒的, 在哪里呢? 他可以兴起帮助你们, 护卫你们.

32:39 See, now, that I, even I am he, and there is not a god besides me; I put to death and I give life; I wound and I heal; there is not one who delivers from my hand!
你们如今要知道: 我, 惟有我是神; 在我以外并无别神. 我使人死, 我使人活; 我损伤, 我也医治, 并无人能从我手中救出来.

32:40 For indeed I lift up my hand to heaven, And I promise as I live forever,
我向天举手说: 我凭我的永生起誓:

32:41 When I sharpen my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold of it in judgment, I will take reprisals against my foes, and my haters I will repay.
我若磨我闪亮的刀, 手掌审判之权, 就必报复我的敌人, 报应恨我的人.

32:42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain, and captives from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.’
我要使我的箭饮血饮醉, 就是被杀被掳之人的血. 我的刀要吃肉, 乃是仇敌中首领之头的肉.

32:43 Call for songs of joy, O nations, concerning his people, for the blood of his servants he will avenge, and he will take reprisals against his foes, and he will make atonement for his land, his people.”
你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢呼; 因他要伸他仆人流血的冤, 报应他的敌人, 洁净他的地, 救赎他的百姓.

32:44 And Moses came, and he spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people; that is, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
摩西和嫩的儿子约书亚去将这歌的一切话说给百姓听.

32:45 And when Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
摩西向以色列众人说完了这一切的话,

32:46 then he said to them, “Take to heart all the words that I am admonishing against you today concerning which you should instruct them with respect to your children so that they will observe diligently all the words of this law,
又说: “我今日所警教你们的, 你们都要放在心上; 要吩咐你们的子孙谨守遵行这律法上的话.

32:47 for it is not a trifling matter among you, but it is your life, and through this word you will live long in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan to get there to take possession of it.”
因为这不是虚空,与你们无关的事, 乃是你们的生命; 在你们过约旦河要得为业的地上必因这事日子得以长久. ”

32:48 And Yahweh said to Moses on exactly this day, saying,
当日, 耶和华吩咐摩西说:

32:49 “Go up to this mountain of the Abarim range, Mount Nebo, which is opposite Jericho, and see the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites as a possession.
“你上这亚巴琳山中的尼波山去, 在摩押地与耶利哥相对, 观看我所要赐给以色列人为业的迦南地.

32:50 You shall die on that mountain that you are about to go up there, and you will be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and he was gathered to his people,
你必死在你所登的山上, 归你列祖(原文是本民)去, 像你哥哥亚伦死在何珥山上, 归他的列祖一样.

32:51 because of the fact that you broke faith with me in the midst of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the desert of Zin, because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the Israelites.
因为你们在寻的旷野, 加低斯的米利巴水, 在以色列人中没有尊我为圣, 得罪了我.

32:52 Yes, from afar you may view the land, but there you shall not enter there, that is, into the land that I am giving to the Israelites.”
我所赐给以色列人的地, 你可以远远地观看, 却不得进去. ”

Deuteronomy - Chapter 33

33:1 Now this is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the Israelites before his death.
以下是神人摩西在未死之先为以色列人所祝的福:

33:2 Then he said, “Yahweh came from Sinai, and he dawned upon them from Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran, and he came with myriads of holy ones, at his right hand a fiery law for them.
他说: 耶和华从西奈而来, 从西珥向他们显现, 从巴兰山发出光辉, 从万万圣者中来临, 从他右手为百姓传出烈火的律法.

33:3 Moreover, he loves his people, all the holy ones were in your hand, and they bowed down to your feet, each one accepted directions from you.
他疼爱百姓; 众圣徒都在他手中. 他们坐在他的脚下, 领受他的言语.

33:4 A law Moses instructed for us, as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
摩西将律法传给我们, 作为雅各会众的产业.

33:5 And then a king arose in Jeshurun, at the gathering of the leaders of the people, united were the tribes of Israel.
百姓的众首领, 以色列的各支派, 一同聚会的时候, 耶和华(原文是他)在耶书仑中为王.

33:6 “May Reuben live, and may he not die, and let his number not be few.”
愿流便存活, 不致死亡; 愿他人数不致稀少.

33:7 And he said this of Judah, “Hear, O Yahweh, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people; his own hands strive for him, and may you be a help against his foes.”
为犹大祝福说: 求耶和华俯听犹大的声音, 引导他归于本族; 他曾用手为自己争战, 你必帮助他攻击敌人.

33:8 And of Levi he said, “Your Thummim and your Urim are for your faithful one, whom you tested at Massah; you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.
论利未说: 耶和华啊, 你的土明和乌陵都在你的虔诚人那里. 你在玛撒曾试验他, 在米利巴水与他争论.

33:9 The one saying of his father and of his mother, ‘I have not regarded them,’ and his brothers he did not acknowledge, and his children he did not know, but rather they observed your word, and your covenant they kept.
他论自己的父母说: 我未曾看见; 他也不承认弟兄, 也不认识自己的儿女. 这是因利未人遵行你的话, 谨守你的约.

33:10 They taught your regulations to Jacob, and your law to Israel; they placed incense smoke before you, and whole burnt offerings on your altar.
他们要将你的典章教训雅各, 将你的律法教训以色列. 他们要把香焚在你面前, 把全牲的燔祭献在你的坛上.

33:11 Bless, O Yahweh, his substance, and with the work of his hands you must be pleased; smite the loins of those who attack him, and those hating him, so that they cannot arise.”
求耶和华降福在他的财物上, 悦纳他手里所办的事. 那些起来攻击他和恨恶他的人, 愿你刺透他们的腰, 使他们不得再起来.

33:12 Of Benjamin he said, “The beloved of Yahweh dwells securely, the Most High shields all around him, all the day, and between his shoulders he dwells.”

论约瑟说: 愿他的地蒙耶和华赐福, 得天上的宝物,甘露, 以及地里所藏的泉水;

33:14 and with the choice things of the fruits of the the sun, and with the choice things of the yield of the seasons,
得太阳所晒熟的美果, 月亮所养成的宝物;

33:15 and with the finest things of the ancient mountains, and with the choice things of the eternal hills,
得上古之山的至宝, 永世之岭的宝物;

33:16 and with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, and the favor of the one who dwelt in the bush. Let them come to the head of Joseph, and to the crown of the prince among his brothers.
得地和其中所充满的宝物, 并住荆棘中上主的喜悦. 愿这些福都归于约瑟的头上, 归于那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上.

33:17 As the firstborn of his ox, majesty belongs to him, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox; with them he drives people together, and they are the myriads of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
他为牛群中头生的, 有威严; 他的角是野牛的角, 用以牴触万邦, 直到地极. 这角是以法莲的万万, 玛拿西的千千.

33:18 And of Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and rejoice, Issachar, in your tents;
论西布伦说: 西布伦哪, 你出外可以欢喜. 以萨迦啊, 在你帐棚里可以快乐.

33:19 They summon people to the mountains; there they sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness, because the affluence of the seas they suck out, and the most hidden treasures of the sand.”
他们要将列邦召到山上, 在那里献公义的祭; 因为他们要吸取海里的丰富, 并沙中所藏的珍宝.

33:20 And of Gad he said, “Blessed be the one who enlarges Gad; like a lion he dwells, and he tears an arm as well as a scalp.
论迦得说: 使迦得扩张的应当称颂! 迦得住如母狮; 他撕裂膀臂, 连头顶也撕裂.

33:21 And he selected the best part for himself, for there the portion of a ruler is included, and he came with the heads of the people; he did the righteousness of Yahweh, and his regulations for Israel.”
他为自己选择头一段地, 因在那里有设立律法者的分存留. 他与百姓的首领同来; 他施行耶和华的公义和耶和华与以色列所立的典章.

33:22 And of Dan he said, “Dan is a cub of a lion; he leaps from Bashan.”
论但说: 但为小狮子, 从巴珊跳出来.

33:23 And of Naphtali, he said, “Oh, Naphtali, sated of favor, and full of the blessing of Yahweh; take possession of the lake, and the land to the south.”
论拿弗他利说: 拿弗他利啊, 你足沾恩惠, 满得耶和华的福, 可以得西方和南方为业.

33:24 And of Asher he said, “Blessed more than sons is Asher; may he be the favorite of his brothers, dipping his feet in the oil.

耶书仑哪, 没有能比神的. 他为帮助你, 乘在天空, 显其威荣, 驾行穹苍.

33:27 The God of ancient time is a hiding place, and underneath are the arms of eternity, and he drove out from before you your enemy, and he said, ‘Destroy them!’
永生的神是你的居所; 他永久的膀臂在你以下. 他在你前面撵出仇敌, 说: 毁灭吧.

33:28 So Israel dwells alone and carefree, the spring of Jacob in a land of grain and wine; his heavens even drip dew.
以色列安然居住; 雅各的本源独居五谷新酒之地. 他的天也滴甘露.

33:29 Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, a people who is saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your triumph, and your enemies, they shall fawn before you, and you shall tread on their backs.”
以色列啊, 你是有福的! 谁像你这蒙耶和华所拯救的百姓呢? 他是你的盾牌, 帮助你, 是你威荣的刀剑. 你的仇敌必投降你; 你必踏在他们的高处.

Deuteronomy - Chapter 34

34:1 Then Moses went up from the desert plateau of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and Yahweh showed him all of the land, Gilead all the way up to Dan,
摩西从摩押平原登尼波山, 上了那与耶利哥相对的毘斯迦山顶. 耶和华把基列全地直到但,

34:2 and all of Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all of the land of Judah, up to the western sea,
拿弗他利全地, 以法莲,玛拿西的地, 犹大全地直到西海,

34:3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar.
南地和棕树城耶利哥的平原, 直到琐珥, 都指给他看.

34:4 And Yahweh said to him, “This is the land that I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross into it.”
耶和华对他说: “这就是我向亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各起誓应许之地, 说: ‘我必将这地赐给你的后裔. ’现在我使你眼睛看见了, 你却不得过到那里去. ”

34:5 Then Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab according to the command of Yahweh.
于是, 耶和华的仆人摩西死在摩押地, 正如耶和华所说的.

34:6 And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. But until this day no one knows his burial site.
耶和华将他埋葬在摩押地,伯‧毘珥对面的谷中, 只是到今日没有人知道他的坟墓.

34:7 Now Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his sight was not impaired and his vigor had not abated.
摩西死的时候年一百二十岁; 眼目没有昏花, 精神没有衰败.

34:8 And the Israelites wept concerning Moses thirty days; finally the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.
以色列人在摩押平原为摩西哀哭了三十日, 为摩西居丧哀哭的日子就满了.

嫩的儿子约书亚; 因为摩西曾按手在他头上, 就被智慧的灵充满, 以色列人便听从他, 照着耶和华吩咐摩西的行了.

34:10 And not again has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face,
以后以色列中再没有兴起先知像摩西的. 他是耶和华面对面所认识的.

34:11 as far as all the signs and the wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all of his servants and against all of his land,
耶和华打发他在埃及地向法老和他的一切臣仆, 并他的全地, 行各样神蹟奇事,

34:12 and as far as all of the mighty deeds and as far as the great awesome wonders Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
又在以色列众人眼前显大能的手, 行一切大而可畏的事.

Joshua (约书亚记)

Joshua - Chapter 1

1:1 After the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, Yahweh said to Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, saying,
耶和华的仆人摩西死了以后, 耶和华晓谕摩西的帮手, 嫩的儿子约书亚, 说:

1:2 “My servant Moses is dead. Get up and cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites.
“我的仆人摩西死了. 现在你要起来, 和众百姓过这约旦河, 往我所要赐给以色列人的地去.

1:3 Every place that the soles of your feet will tread, I have given it to you, as I promised to Moses.
凡你们脚掌所踏之地, 我都照着我所应许摩西的话赐给你们了.

1:4 From the wilderness and the Lebanon, up to the great river, the river Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and up to the great sea in the west, will be your territory.
从旷野和这黎巴嫩, 直到幼发拉底大河, 赫人的全地, 又到大海日落之处, 都要作你们的境界.

1:5 No one will stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you.
你平生的日子, 必无一人能在你面前站立得住. 我怎样与摩西同在, 也必照样与你同在; 我必不撇下你, 也不丢弃你.

1:6 Be strong and courageous, for you will give the people this land as an inheritance that I swore to their ancestors to give them.
你当刚强壮胆! 因为你必使这百姓承受那地为业, 就是我向他们列祖起誓应许赐给他们的地.

1:7 Only be strong and very courageous to observe diligently the whole law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn aside from it, to the right or left, so that you may succeed wherever you go.
只要刚强, 大大壮胆, 谨守遵行我仆人摩西所吩咐你的一切律法, 不可偏离左右, 使你无论往哪里去, 都可以顺利.

1:8 The scroll of this law will not depart from your mouth; you will meditate on it day and night so that you may observe diligently all that is written in it. For then you will succeed in your ways and prosper.
这律法书不可离开你的口, 总要昼夜思想, 好使你谨守遵行这书上所写的一切话. 如此, 你的道路就可以亨通, 凡事顺利.

1:9 Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”
我岂没有吩咐你吗? 你当刚强壮胆! 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶; 因为你无论往哪里去, 耶和华─你的神必与你同在. ”

1:10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
于是, 约书亚吩咐百姓的官长说:

1:11 “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people: ‘Prepare your provisions; in three days you are to cross the Jordan to go possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.’ ”
“你们要走遍营中, 吩咐百姓说: ‘当预备食物; 因为三日之内你们要过这约旦河, 进去得耶和华─你们神赐你们为业之地. ’”

1:12 To the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua said,
约书亚对流便人,迦得人, 和玛拿西半支派的人说:

1:13 “Remember the word that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, saying, ‘Yahweh your God is giving rest to you, and he is giving you this land.’
“你们要追念耶和华的仆人摩西所吩咐你们的话说: ‘耶和华─你们的神使你们得享平安, 也必将这地赐给你们. ’

1:14 Your wives, your little children, and your livestock, they will remain in the land that Moses gave to you beyond the Jordan. All of the best fighting men will cross armed in front of your families; they will help you
你们的妻子,孩子, 和牲畜都可以留在约旦河东,摩西所给你们的地; 但你们中间一切大能的勇士都要带着兵器在你们的弟兄前面过去, 帮助他们,

1:15 until Yahweh gives rest to your families as well as to you. They will take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to them. Then you will return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.”
等到耶和华使你们的弟兄像你们一样得享平安, 并且得着耶和华─你们神所赐他们为业之地, 那时才可以回你们所得之地, 承受为业, 就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东,向日出之地所给你们的. ”

1:16 And they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you will send us we will go.
他们回答约书亚说: “你所吩咐我们行的, 我们都必行; 你所差遣我们去的, 我们都必去.

1:17 Just as we obeyed Moses, so will we obey you. Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
我们从前在一切事上怎样听从摩西, 现在也必照样听从你; 惟愿耶和华─你的神与你同在, 像与摩西同在一样.

1:18 Whoever rebels against your orders and does not obey your words according to what you commanded us will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
无论甚么人违背你的命令, 不听从你所吩咐他的一切话, 就必治死他. 你只要刚强壮胆! ”

Joshua - Chapter 2

2:1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two men from Acacia Grove as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and spent the night there.
当下, 嫩的儿子约书亚从什亭暗暗打发两个人作探子, 吩咐说: “你们去窥探那地和耶利哥. ”于是二人去了, 来到一个妓女名叫喇合的家里, 就在那里躺卧.

2:2 The king of Jericho was told, “Look, some men from the Israelites have come here tonight to search out the land.”
有人告诉耶利哥王说: “今夜有以色列人来到这里窥探此地. ”

2:3 And the king of Jericho sent for Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who came to you, the ones who have entered your house, for they have come to search out the whole land.”
耶利哥王打发人去见喇合说: “那来到你这里,进了你家的人要交出来, 因为他们来窥探全地. ”

2:4 But the woman took the two men and hid them. And she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
女人将二人隐藏, 就回答说: “那人果然到我这里来; 他们是哪里来的我却不知道.

2:5 And when it was time to shut the gate for the night, the men left, and I do not know where they went. Chase after them quickly, for you may catch up to them.”
天黑,要关城门的时候, 他们出去了, 往哪里去我却不知道. 你们快快地去追赶, 就必追上. ”

2:6 (But she had taken them to the roof and had hidden them in the stalks of flax that she had spread out on the roof.)
(先是女人领二人上了房顶, 将他们藏在那里所摆的麻秸中. )

2:7 So the men chased after them on the way to the Jordan at the fords; and they shut the gate behind the pursuers that had gone out after them.
那些人就往约旦河的渡口追赶他们去了. 追赶他们的人一出去, 城门就关了.

2:8 Before they went to sleep, she came up to them on the roof
二人还没有躺卧, 女人就上房顶, 到他们那里,

2:9 and said to the men, “I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away in fear because of your presence.
对他们说: “我知道耶和华已经把这地赐给你们, 并且因你们的缘故我们都惊慌了. 这地的一切居民在你们面前心都消化了;

2:10 For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you went out from Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
因为我们听见你们出埃及的时候, 耶和华怎样在你们前面使红海的水干了, 并且你们怎样待约旦河东的两个亚摩利王西宏和噩, 将他们尽行毁灭.

2:11 We heard this, and our hearts melted, and no courage was left in anyone because of your presence. For Yahweh your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
我们一听见这些事, 心就消化了. 因你们的缘故, 并无一人有胆气. 耶和华─你们的神本是上天下地的神.

2:12 So then please swear to me by Yahweh, because I have shown loyalty to you, and you will also show loyalty to my family. You must give me a sign of good faith,
现在我既是恩待你们, 求你们指著耶和华向我起誓, 也要恩待我父家, 并给我一个实在的证据,

2:13 and you will spare my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that belongs to them; you will deliver our lives from death.”
要救活我的父母,弟兄,姊妹, 和一切属他们的, 拯救我们性命不死. ”

2:14 And the men said to her, “Our lives for yours. If you do not report this business of ours, we will show you loyalty and faithfulness when Yahweh gives us the land.”
二人对她说: “你若不泄漏我们这件事, 我们情愿替你们死. 耶和华将这地赐给我们的时候, 我们必以慈爱诚实待你. ”

2:15 Then she lowered them with a rope through the window, as her house was on the outer side of the wall, and she was residing in the wall.
于是女人用绳子将二人从窗户里缒下去; 因她的房子是在城墙边上, 她也住在城墙上.

2:16 And she said to them, “Go to the mountain, so that the pursuers will not find you, and hide yourselves there three days until the pursuers return, and afterward you may go on your way.”
她对他们说: “你们且往山上去, 恐怕追赶的人碰见你们; 要在那里隐藏三天, 等追赶的人回来, 然后才可以走你们的路. ”

2:17 The men said to her, “We will be released from this oath of yours that you made us swear.
二人对她说: “你要这样行. 不然, 你叫我们所起的誓就与我们无干了.

2:18 When we come to the land, you must tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you must gather your father and mother, and your brothers, and your whole family to your house.
我们来到这地的时候, 你要把这条朱红线绳系在缒我们下去的窗户上, 并要使你的父母,弟兄, 和你父的全家都聚集在你家中.

2:19 If anyone goes outside the doors of your house, they will be responsible for their own death, and we will be innocent. Anyone who will be with you in the house, we will be responsible for their death if a hand is laid on them.
凡出了你家门往街上去的, 他的罪(原文是血)必归到自己的头上, 与我们无干了. 凡在你家里的, 若有人下手害他, 流他血的罪就归到我们的头上.

2:20 But if you report this business of ours, we will be released from your oath that you made us swear.”
你若泄漏我们这件事, 你叫我们所起的誓就与我们无干了. ”

2:21 And she said, “According to your word it will be.” Then she sent them away, and they went, and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
女人说: “照你们的话行吧! ”于是打发他们去了, 又把朱红线绳系在窗户上.

2:22 They departed and came to the mountain, and they stayed there three days until the pursuers returned. The pursuers searched all along the way but did not find them.
二人到山上, 在那里住了三天, 等著追赶的人回去了. 追赶的人一路找他们, 却找不著.

2:23 The two men returned and went down from the mountain, and they crossed over and came to Joshua son of Nun, and they told him everything that happened to them.
二人就下山回来, 过了河, 到嫩的儿子约书亚那里, 向他述说所遭遇的一切事;

2:24 They said to Joshua, “Surely Yahweh has given all the land into our hand; also, all the inhabitants of the land melt away in fear because of our presence.”
又对约书亚说: “耶和华果然将那全地交在我们手中; 那地的一切居民在我们面前心都消化了. ”

Joshua - Chapter 3

3:1 Joshua rose early in the morning, and they set out from Acacia Grove. And they came up to the Jordan, he and all the Israelites, and they spent the night there before they crossed over.
约书亚清早起来, 和以色列众人都离开什亭, 来到约旦河, 就住在那里, 等候过河.

3:2 At the end of the three days the officers passed through the midst of the camp,
过了三天, 官长走遍营中,

3:3 and they commanded the people: “When you see the Levitical priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God you must set out from your place and go after it.
吩咐百姓说: “你们看见耶和华─你们神的约柜, 又见祭司利未人抬着, 就要离开所住的地方, 跟着约柜去.

3:4 But there will be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits in measurement. Do not come near it, so that you may know the way that you must go, for you have not passed on this way before.”
只是你们和约柜相离要量二千肘, 不可与约柜相近, 使你们知道所当走的路, 因为这条路你们向来没有走过. ”

3:5 And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, because tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders in your midst.”
约书亚吩咐百姓说: “你们要自洁, 因为明天耶和华必在你们中间行奇事. ”

3:6 And Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people.” And they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.
约书亚又吩咐祭司说: “你们抬起约柜, 在百姓前头过去. ”于是他们抬起约柜, 在百姓前头走.

3:7 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I will begin exalting you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that I was with Moses, and I will be with you.
耶和华对约书亚说: “从今日起, 我必使你在以色列众人眼前尊大, 使他们知道我怎样与摩西同在, 也必照样与你同在.

3:8 You will command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘At the moment that you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you will stand still in the Jordan.’ ”
你要吩咐抬约柜的祭司说: ‘你们到了约旦河的水边上, 就要在约旦河水里站住. ’”

3:9 And Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.”
约书亚对以色列人说: “你们近前来, 听耶和华─你们神的话. ”

3:10 Joshua said, “By this you will know that the living God is in your midst, and he will certainly drive out the Canaanites from before you, and the Hittites, Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
约书亚说: “看哪, 普天下主的约柜必在你们前头过去, 到约旦河里, 因此你们就知道在你们中间有永生神; 并且他必在你们面前赶出迦南人,赫人,希未人,比利洗人,革迦撒人,亚摩利人,耶布斯人.

3:11 Look! The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is about to cross over ahead of you into the Jordan.
a

3:12 So then, take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
你们现在要从以色列支派中拣选十二个人, 每支派一人,

3:13 When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off upstream, and they will stand still in one heap.
等到抬普天下主耶和华约柜的祭司把脚站在约旦河水里, 约旦河的水, 就是从上往下流的水, 必然断绝, 立起成垒. ”

3:14 And it happened, when the people set out from their tents to cross over the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant were ahead of the people.
百姓离开帐棚要过约旦河的时候, 抬约柜的祭司乃在百姓的前头.

3:15 When those carrying the ark came up to the Jordan, and the priests carrying the ark dipped their feet in the edge of the water (the Jordan was flowing over its banks during all the days of harvest),
他们到了约旦河, 脚一入水(原来约旦河水在收割的日子涨过两岸),

3:16 the waters flowing down from above stood still; they stood up in one heap very far from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, while the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
那从上往下流的水便在极远之地,撒拉但旁的亚当城那里停住, 立起成垒; 那往亚拉巴的海, 就是盐海, 下流的水全然断绝. 于是百姓在耶利哥的对面过去了.

3:17 And the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firmly on the dry land in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation finished crossing the Jordan.
抬耶和华约柜的祭司在约旦河中的干地上站定, 以色列众人都从干地上过去, 直到国民尽都过了约旦河.

Joshua - Chapter 4

4:1 After all the nation finished crossing the Jordan, Yahweh said to Joshua,
国民尽都过了约旦河, 耶和华就对约书亚说:

4:2 “Take twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,
“你从民中要拣选十二个人, 每支派一人,

4:3 and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests’ feet stood firmly, and bring them over with you, and set them up in the place where you will camp tonight.’ ”
吩咐他们说: ‘你们从这里, 从约旦河中,祭司脚站定的地方, 取十二块石头带过去, 放在你们今夜要住宿的地方. ’”

4:4 So Joshua summoned the twelve men whom he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe.
于是, 约书亚将他从以色列人中所预备的那十二个人, 每支派一人, 都召了来.

4:5 And Joshua said to them, “Cross over before the ark of Yahweh your God to the middle of the Jordan, and each one of you lift up a stone on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites,
对他们说: “你们下约旦河中, 过到耶和华─你们神的约柜前头, 按著以色列人十二支派的数目, 每人取一块石头扛在肩上.

4:6 so that this may be a reminder among you. When your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
这些石头在你们中间可以作为证据. 日后, 你们的子孙问你们说: ‘这些石头是甚么意思? ’

4:7 you will say to them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones will be as a memorial for the Israelites for eternity.”
你们就对他们说: ‘这是因为约旦河的水在耶和华的约柜前断绝; 约柜过约旦河的时候, 约旦河的水就断绝了. 这些石头要作以色列人永远的纪念. ’”

4:8 Thus the Israelites did as Joshua commanded. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan as Yahweh told Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, and they carried them over with them to the camp, and they put them there.
以色列人就照约书亚所吩咐的, 按著以色列人支派的数目, 从约旦河中取了十二块石头, 都遵耶和华所吩咐约书亚的行了. 他们把石头带过去, 到他们所住宿的地方, 就放在那里.

4:9 Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the covenant stood, and they are there to this day.
约书亚另把十二块石头立在约旦河中, 在抬约柜的祭司脚站立的地方; 直到今日, 那石头还在那里.

4:10 The priests carrying the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything that Yahweh commanded Joshua to tell the people was finished, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua. And the people hastily crossed over.
抬约柜的祭司站在约旦河中, 等到耶和华晓谕约书亚吩咐百姓的事办完了, 是照摩西所吩咐约书亚的一切话. 于是百姓急速过去了.

4:11 And it happened, when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of Yahweh and the priests crossed over in front of the people.
众百姓尽都过了河, 耶和华的约柜和祭司就在百姓面前过去.

4:12 The children of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the Israelites, as Moses told them.
流便人,迦得人,玛拿西半支派的人都照摩西所吩咐他们的, 带着兵器在以色列人前头过去.

4:13 About forty thousand armed for fighting crossed over before the presence of Yahweh to the plains of Jericho for battle.
约有四万人都准备打仗, 在耶和华面前过去, 到耶利哥的平原, 等候上阵.

4:14 On that day Yahweh exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they respected him as they respected Moses all the days of his life.
当那日, 耶和华使约书亚在以色列众人眼前尊大. 在他平生的日子, 百姓敬畏他, 像从前敬畏摩西一样.

4:15 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, saying,
耶和华晓谕约书亚说:

4:16 “Command the priests carrying the ark of the testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
“你吩咐抬法柜的祭司从约旦河里上来. ”

4:17 So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, “Come up from the Jordan.”
约书亚就吩咐祭司说: “你们从约旦河里上来. ”

4:18 And it happened that when the priests carrying the ark came up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet touched dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and flowed over all its banks as before.
抬耶和华约柜的祭司从约旦河里上来, 脚掌刚落旱地, 约旦河的水就流到原处, 仍旧涨过两岸.

4:19 And the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho.
正月初十日, 百姓从约旦河里上来, 就在吉甲, 在耶利哥的东边安营.

4:20 And those twelve stones that they took from the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
他们从约旦河中取来的那十二块石头, 约书亚就立在吉甲,

4:21 And he said to the Israelites, “When your children ask in the future their parents, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
对以色列人说: “日后你们的子孙问他们的父亲说: ‘这些石头是甚么意思? ’

4:22 you will let your children know by saying, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.’
你们就告诉他们说: ‘以色列人曾走干地过这约旦河;

4:23 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you, until you had crossed, just as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up before us until we had crossed over,
因为耶和华─你们的神在你们前面使约旦河的水干了, 等著你们过来, 就如耶和华─你们的神从前在我们前面使红海干了, 等著我们过来一样,

4:24 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of Yahweh is strong, so that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.”
要使地上万民都知道, 耶和华的手大有能力, 也要使你们永远敬畏耶和华─你们的神. ’”

Joshua - Chapter 5

5:1 And it happened, when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea heard that Yahweh dried up the waters of the Jordan in front of the Israelites until they crossed over, their hearts melted, and there was no courage left in them because of the presence of the Israelites.
约旦河西亚摩利人的诸王和靠海迦南人的诸王, 听见耶和华在以色列人前面使约旦河的水干了, 等到我们过去, 他们的心因以色列人的缘故就消化了, 不再有胆气.

5:2 At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make for yourself knives of flint, and circumcise the Israelites a second time.”
那时, 耶和华吩咐约书亚说: “你制造火石刀, 第二次给以色列人行割礼. ”

5:3 So Joshua made knives of flint, and he circumcised the Israelites at the hill of the foreskins.
约书亚就制造了火石刀, 在“除皮山”那里给以色列人行割礼.

5:4 This is the reason why Joshua circumcised all the people: all the males who went out from Egypt, all the warriors, died in the wilderness as they went out from Egypt on the journey.
约书亚行割礼的缘故, 是因为从埃及出来的众民, 就是一切能打仗的男丁, 出了埃及以后, 都死在旷野的路上.

5:5 For all the people who left were circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness on the journey after they left from Egypt were not circumcised.
因为出来的众民都受过割礼; 惟独出埃及以后,在旷野的路上所生的众民都没有受过割礼.

5:6 For forty years the Israelites traveled in the wilderness until all the nation, the warriors that left Egypt, perished, because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh. To them Yahweh swore that they would not see the land that he swore to their ancestors to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
以色列人在旷野走了四十年, 等到国民, 就是出埃及的兵丁, 都消灭了, 因为他们没有听从耶和华的话. 耶和华曾向他们起誓, 必不容他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓,应许赐给我们的地, 就是流奶与蜜之地.

5:7 And it was their children whom he raised in their place that Joshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the journey.
他们的子孙, 就是耶和华所兴起来接续他们的, 都没有受过割礼; 因为在路上没有给他们行割礼, 约书亚这才给他们行了.

5:8 And it happened, when all the nation had finished circumcising, they remained where they were in the camp until they recovered.
国民都受完了割礼, 就住在营中自己的地方, 等到痊愈了.

5:9 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” Therefore, the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.
耶和华对约书亚说: “我今日将埃及的羞辱从你们身上滚去了. ”因此, 那地方名叫吉甲(就是滚的意思), 直到今日.

5:10 And the Israelites camped at Gilgal, and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, on the plains of Jericho.
以色列人在吉甲安营. 正月十四日晚上, 在耶利哥的平原守逾越节.

5:11 On the next day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate from the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and roasted corn.
逾越节的次日, 他们就吃了那地的出产; 正当那日吃无酵饼和烘的谷.

5:12 And the manna ceased the day after, when they started eating the produce of the land, and there was no longer manna for the Israelites. They ate from the crop of the land of Canaan in that year.
他们吃了那地的出产, 第二日吗哪就止住了, 以色列人也不再有吗哪了. 那一年, 他们却吃迦南地的出产.

5:13 And it happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and he saw a man standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said, “Are you with us, or with our adversaries?”
约书亚靠近耶利哥的时候, 举目观看, 不料, 有一个人手里有拔出来的刀, 对面站立. 约书亚到他那里, 问他说: “你是帮助我们呢, 是帮助我们敌人呢? ”

5:14 And he said, “Neither. I have come now as the commander of Yahweh’s army.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and he bowed down and said to him, “What is my lord commanding his servant?”
他回答说: “不是的, 我来是要作耶和华军队的元帅. ”约书亚就俯伏在地下拜, 说: “我主有甚么话吩咐仆人. ”

5:15 The commander of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
耶和华军队的元帅对约书亚说: “把你脚上的鞋脱下来, 因为你所站的地方是圣的. ”约书亚就照着行了.

Joshua - Chapter 6

6:1 Now Jericho was shut up inside and out because of the presence of the Israelites; no one was going out or coming in.
耶利哥的城门因以色列人就关得严紧, 无人出入.

6:2 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Look, I am giving Jericho into your hand, its king and the soldiers of the army.
耶和华晓谕约书亚说: “看哪, 我已经把耶利哥和耶利哥的王, 并大能的勇士, 都交在你手中.

6:3 You will march around the city, all the warriors circling the city once; you will do so for six days.
你们的一切兵丁要围绕这城, 一日围绕一次, 六日都要这样行.

6:4 And seven priests will bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day you will march around the city seven times, and the priests will blow on the trumpets.
七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在约柜前. 到第七日, 你们要绕城七次, 祭司也要吹角.

6:5 And when they blow long on the horn of the ram, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people will shout with a great war cry, and the wall of the city will fall flat, and the people will charge, each one straight ahead.”
他们吹的角声拖长, 你们听见角声, 众百姓要大声呼喊, 城墙就必塌陷, 各人都要往前直上. ”

6:6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry the trumpets of the rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh.”
嫩的儿子约书亚召了祭司来, 吩咐他们说: “你们抬起约柜来, 要有七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华的约柜前”;

6:7 And he said to the people, “Go forward and march around the city, and let the armed men pass before the ark of Yahweh.
又对百姓说: “你们前去绕城, 带兵器的要走在耶和华的约柜前. ”

6:8 And when Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the presence of Yahweh went forward and they blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed behind them.
约书亚对百姓说完了话, 七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华面前吹角; 耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟随.

6:9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they were blowing the trumpets.
带兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面, 后队随着约柜行. 祭司一面走一面吹.

6:10 But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You will not shout, and you will not let your voice be heard; a word will not go out from your mouth until the day I say to you ‘Shout!’ Then you will shout.”
约书亚吩咐百姓说: “你们不可呼喊, 不可出声, 连一句话也不可出你们的口, 等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子, 那时才可以呼喊. ”

6:11 And the ark of Yahweh went around the city, circling once, and they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp.
这样, 他使耶和华的约柜绕城, 把城绕了一次; 众人回到营里, 就在营里住宿.

6:12 Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahweh.
约书亚清早起来, 祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜.

6:13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of the rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and they blew on the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh, while the trumpets blew continually.
七个祭司拿七个羊角在耶和华的约柜前, 时常行走吹角; 带兵器的在他们前面走, 后队随着耶和华的约柜行. 祭司一面走一面吹.

6:14 And they marched around the city once on the second day, and they returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
第二日, 众人把城绕了一次, 就回营里去. 六日都是这样行.

6:15 Then on the seventh day they rose early at dawn, and they marched around the city in this manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.
第七日清早, 黎明的时候, 他们起来, 照样绕城七次; 惟独这日把城绕了七次.

6:16 And at the seventh time the priests blew on the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city.
到了第七次, 祭司吹角的时候, 约书亚吩咐百姓说: “呼喊吧, 因为耶和华已经把城交给你们了!

6:17 The city and all that is in it will be devoted to Yahweh; only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in the house will live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
这城和其中所有的都要在耶和华面前毁灭; 只有妓女喇合与她家中所有的可以存活, 因为她隐藏了我们所打发的使者.

6:18 As for you, keep away from the things devoted to destruction so that you do not take them and bring about your own destruction, making the camp of Israel an object for destruction, bringing trouble upon it.
至于你们, 务要谨慎, 不可取那当灭的物, 恐怕你们取了那当灭的物就连累以色列的全营, 使全营受咒诅.

6:19 But all of the silver and gold, and the items of bronze and iron, are holy to Yahweh, and they must go to Yahweh’s treasury.”
惟有金子,银子, 和铜铁的器皿都要归耶和华为圣, 必入耶和华的库中. ”

6:20 So the people shouted, and they blew on the trumpets. And when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, they raised a great shout, and the wall fell flat. The people charged, each one straight ahead into the city, and they captured it.
于是百姓呼喊, 祭司也吹角. 百姓听见角声, 便大声呼喊, 城墙就塌陷, 百姓便上去进城, 各人往前直上, 将城夺取;

6:21 And they utterly destroyed by the edge of the sword all who were in the city, both men and women, young and old, ox, sheep, and donkey.
又将城中所有的, 不拘男女老少, 牛羊和驴, 都用刀杀尽.

6:22 Then Joshua said to the two men who spied on the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her.”
约书亚吩咐窥探地的两个人说: “你们进那妓女的家, 照着你们向她所起的誓, 将那女人和她所有的都从那里带出来. ”

6:23 So the young men who were spies went and brought Rahab and her father and mother, her brothers, and all who were with her. And they brought all her family out and set them outside the camp of Israel.
当探子的两个少年人就进去, 将喇合与她的父母,弟兄, 和她所有的, 并她一切的亲眷, 都带出来, 安置在以色列的营外.

6:24 And they burned the city and all that was in it with fire; they put only the silver and gold, and the items of copper and iron, into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
众人就用火将城和其中所有的焚烧了; 惟有金子,银子, 和铜铁的器皿都放在耶和华殿的库中.

6:25 But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her family and all who were with her, and she has lived in the midst of Israel until this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
约书亚却把妓女喇合与她父家, 并她所有的, 都救活了; 因为她隐藏了约书亚所打发窥探耶利哥的使者, 她就住在以色列中, 直到今日.

6:26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, “Cursed is anyone before Yahweh who gets up and builds Jericho, this city. At the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
当时, 约书亚叫众人起誓说: “有兴起重修这耶利哥城的人, 当在耶和华面前受咒诅. 他立根基的时候, 必丧长子, 安门的时候, 必丧幼子. ”

6:27 So Yahweh was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.
耶和华与约书亚同在, 约书亚的声名传扬遍地.

Joshua - Chapter 7

7:1 But the Israelites broke faith concerning the devoted things. Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from the devoted things; and Yahweh’s anger was kindled against the Israelites.
以色列人在当灭的物上犯了罪; 因为犹大支派中, 谢拉的曾孙, 撒底的孙子, 迦米的儿子亚干取了当灭的物; 耶和华的怒气就向以色列人发作.

7:2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven, east of Bethel, and he said to them, “Go up and spy out Ai.” And the men went up and spied out Ai.
当下, 约书亚从耶利哥打发人往伯特利东边,靠近伯‧亚文的艾城去, 吩咐他们说: “你们上去窥探那地. ”他们就上去窥探艾城.

7:3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up and attack Ai; only two or three thousand men should go up because they are few. Do not make all the people weary up there.”
他们回到约书亚那里, 对他说: “众民不必都上去, 只要二三千人上去就能攻取艾城; 不必劳累众民都去, 因为那里的人少. ”

7:4 So about three thousand from the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.
于是民中约有三千人上那里去, 竟在艾城人面前逃跑了.

7:5 The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them, and they chased them from the gate up to Shebarim and killed them on the slope. And the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
艾城的人击杀了他们三十六人, 从城门前追赶他们, 直到示巴琳, 在下坡杀败他们; 众民的心就消化如水.

7:6 And Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the ground on his face before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
约书亚便撕裂衣服; 他和以色列的长老把灰撒在头上, 在耶和华的约柜前俯伏在地, 直到晚上.

7:7 And Joshua said, “Ah, my Lord! Why did you bring this people across the Jordan to give us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we had been content and stayed beyond the Jordan.
约书亚说: “哀哉! 主耶和华啊, 你为甚么竟领这百姓过约旦河, 将我们交在亚摩利人的手中, 使我们灭亡呢? 我们不如住在约旦河那边倒好.

7:8 Please, my Lord! What can I say after Israel has fled from its enemies?
主啊, 以色列人既在仇敌面前转背逃跑, 我还有甚么可说的呢?

7:9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of this, and they will surround us and cut off our name from the land. What will you do, for your great name?”
迦南人和这地一切的居民听见了就必围困我们, 将我们的名从地上除灭. 那时你为你的大名要怎样行呢? ”

7:10 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
耶和华吩咐约书亚说: “起来! 你为何这样俯伏在地呢?

7:11 Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant that I commanded them. They have taken from the devoted things; they have stolen and acted deceitfully, and they have put them among their belongings.
以色列人犯了罪, 违背了我所吩咐他们的约, 取了当灭的物; 又偷窃, 又行诡诈, 又把那当灭的放在他们的家具里.

7:12 The Israelites were unable to stand before their enemies; they fled from their enemies because they have become a thing devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
因此, 以色列人在仇敌面前站立不住. 他们在仇敌面前转背逃跑, 是因成了被咒诅的; 你们若不把当灭的物从你们中间除掉, 我就不再与你们同在了.

7:13 Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow. Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You will be unable to stand before you enemies until you remove the devoted things from your midst.”
你起来, 叫百姓自洁, 对他们说: ‘你们要自洁, 预备明天, 因为耶和华─以色列的神这样说: 以色列啊, 你们中间有当灭的物, 你们若不除掉, 在仇敌面前必站立不住! ’

7:14 In the morning you will come forward, tribe by tribe, and the tribe that Yahweh will select by lot will come forward by clans, and the clan that Yahweh selects by lot will come forward by families, and the family that Yahweh selects by lot will come forward one by one.
到了早晨, 你们要按著支派近前来; 耶和华所取的支派, 要按著宗族近前来; 耶和华所取的宗族, 要按著家室近前来; 耶和华所取的家室, 要按着人丁, 一个一个地近前来.

7:15 The one caught with the devoted things will be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he did a disgraceful thing in Israel.” ’ ”
被取的人有当灭的物在他那里, 他和他所有的必被火焚烧; 因他违背了耶和华的约, 又因他在以色列中行了愚妄的事. ”

7:16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought forward Israel, tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected by lot.
于是, 约书亚清早起来, 使以色列人按著支派近前来, 取出来的是犹大支派;

7:17 And he brought forward the clans of Judah and selected the clan of the Zerahites by lot. Then he brought forward the clan of the Zerahites, one by one, and Zabdi was selected by lot.
使犹大支派(原文是宗族)近前来, 就取了谢拉的宗族; 使谢拉的宗族, 按著家室人丁, 一个一个地近前来, 取出来的是撒底;

7:18 He brought forward his family, one by one, and Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected by lot.
使撒底的家室, 按着人丁, 一个一个地近前来, 就取出犹大支派的人谢拉的曾孙, 撒底的孙子, 迦米的儿子亚干.

7:19 And Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please, give glory to Yahweh the God of Israel, and give him a doxology in court. Tell me, please, what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
约书亚对亚干说: “我儿, 我劝你将荣耀归给耶和华─以色列的神, 在他面前认罪, 将你所做的事告诉我, 不要向我隐瞒. ”

7:20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh the God of Israel, and this is what I did:
亚干回答约书亚说: “我实在得罪了耶和华─以色列的神. 我所做的事如此如此:

7:21 I saw among the spoil a beautiful robe from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and one bar of gold that weighed fifty shekels; I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, and the silver is under it.”
我在所夺的财物中看见一件美好的示拿衣服, 二百舍客勒银子, 一条金子重五十舍客勒, 我就贪爱这些物件, 便拿去了. 现今藏在我帐棚内的地里, 银子在衣服底下. ”

7:22 Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there they were, hidden in his tent, and the silver was under it.
约书亚就打发人跑到亚干的帐棚里. 那件衣服果然藏在他帐棚内, 银子在底下.

7:23 And they took them from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. And they spread them out before the presence of Yahweh.
他们就从帐棚里取出来, 拿到约书亚和以色列众人那里, 放在耶和华面前.

7:24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his cattle and donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and everything that was his, and they brought them to the valley of Achor.
约书亚和以色列众人把谢拉的曾孙亚干和那银子,那件衣服,那条金子, 并亚干的儿女,牛,驴,羊,帐棚, 以及他所有的, 都带到亚割谷去.

7:25 And Joshua said, “Why did you bring us trouble? Yahweh will bring you trouble on this day.” And all Israel stoned them with stones; and they burned them with fire after they stoned them with stones.
约书亚说: “你为甚么连累我们呢? 今日耶和华必叫你受连累. ”于是以色列众人用石头打死他, 将石头扔在其上, 又用火焚烧他所有的(原文是他们).

7:26 Then they placed on top of him a great pile of stones that remains to this day. And Yahweh turned from his burning anger, and thus the name of that place to this day is called the valley of Achor.
众人在亚干身上堆成一大堆石头, 直存到今日. 于是耶和华转意, 不发他的烈怒. 因此那地方名叫亚割谷(就是连累的意思), 直到今日.

Joshua - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you and go up immediately to Ai. Look, I am giving into your hand the king of Ai, his city, and his land.
耶和华对约书亚说: “不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶. 你起来, 率领一切兵丁上艾城去, 我已经把艾城的王和他的民,他的城, 并他的地, 都交在你手里.

8:2 You will do to Ai and its king that which you did to Jericho and its king; you may take only its spoils and livestock as booty for yourself. Set for yourself an ambush against the city from behind it.”
你怎样待耶利哥和耶利哥的王, 也当照样待艾城和艾城的王. 只是城内所夺的财物和牲畜, 你们可以取为自己的掠物. 你要在城后设下伏兵. ”

8:3 So Joshua and all the fighting men went up immediately to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand of the best fighting men and sent them by night.
于是, 约书亚和一切兵丁都起来, 要上艾城去. 约书亚选了三万大能的勇士, 夜间打发他们前往,

8:4 And he commanded them, saying, “Look, you are to lay an ambush against the city from behind. Do not go very far from the city and be ready.
吩咐他们说: “你们要在城后埋伏, 不可离城太远, 都要各自准备.

8:5 Then I and all of the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they go out to meet us as before, we will flee from them.
我与我所带领的众民要向城前往. 城里的人像初次出来攻击我们的时候, 我们就在他们面前逃跑,

8:6 They will come out after us until we draw them away from the city, because they will think, ‘They are fleeing from us as before.’ So we will flee from them.
他们必出来追赶我们, 直到我们引诱他们离开城; 因为他们必说: ‘这些人像初次在我们面前逃跑. ’所以我们要在他们面前逃跑,

8:7 Then you will rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city, for Yahweh your God will give it into your hand.
你们就从埋伏的地方起来, 夺取那城, 因为耶和华─你们的神必把城交在你们手里.

8:8 And when you capture the city you will set it on fire as Yahweh commanded. Look, I have commanded you.”
你们夺了城以后, 就放火烧城, 要照耶和华的话行. 这是我吩咐你们的. ”

8:9 So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of the ambush, and they sat between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai; but Joshua spent the night with the people.
约书亚打发他们前往, 他们就上埋伏的地方去, 住在伯特利和艾城的中间, 就是在艾城的西边. 这夜约书亚却在民中住宿.

8:10 Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people of Ai.
约书亚清早起来, 点齐百姓, 他和以色列的长老在百姓前面上艾城去.

8:11 All the fighting men who were with him went up and drew near before the city and camped north of Ai; there was a valley between him and Ai.
众民, 就是他所带领的兵丁, 都上去, 向前直往, 来到城前, 在艾城北边安营. 在约书亚和艾城中间有一山谷.

8:12 And he took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.
他挑了约有五千人, 使他们埋伏在伯特利和艾城的中间, 就是在艾城的西边,

8:13 So they stationed the forces; all the army was north of the city while the rear guard was west. But Joshua went that night to the middle of the valley.
于是安置了百姓, 就是城北的全军和城西的伏兵. 这夜约书亚进入山谷之中.

8:14 When the king of Ai saw this, the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out to meet Israel for battle—he and all his army—to the meeting place before the Arabah. He did not know that there was an ambush for him behind the city.
艾城的王看见这景况, 就和全城的人, 清早急忙起来, 按所定的时候, 出到亚拉巴前, 要与以色列人交战; 王却不知道在城后有伏兵.

8:15 Then Joshua and all Israel acted like they were beaten before them, and they fled in the direction of the wilderness.
约书亚和以色列众人在他们面前装败, 往那通旷野的路逃跑.

8:16 All of the people who were in the city were called to pursue after them. As they pursued after Joshua, they were drawn away from the city.
城内的众民都被招聚, 追赶他们; 艾城人追赶的时候, 就被引诱离开城.

8:17 Not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel; they left the city open and pursued after Israel.
艾城和伯特利城没有一人不出来追赶以色列人的, 撇了敞开的城门, 去追赶以色列人.

8:18 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stretch out the sword that is in your hand to Ai, because I will give it into your hand.” And Joshua stretched out the sword that was in his hand to the city.
耶和华吩咐约书亚说: “你向艾城伸出手里的短枪, 因为我要将城交在你手里. ”约书亚就向城伸出手里的短枪.

8:19 The moment he stretched out his hand, those in the ambush stood up quickly from their place and ran. And they went into the city and captured it, quickly setting the city ablaze with fire.
他一伸手, 伏兵就从埋伏的地方急忙起来, 夺了城, 跑进城去, 放火焚烧.

8:20 Then the men of Ai looked behind them, and they saw smoke from the city rising to the sky; they had no power to flee this way or that, and the people fleeing the wilderness turned around to the pursuers.
艾城的人回头一看, 不料, 城中烟气冲天, 他们就无力向左向右逃跑. 那往旷野逃跑的百姓便转身攻击追赶他们的人.

8:21 And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had captured the city and that the smoke of the city was rising; they returned and struck down the men of Ai.
约书亚和以色列众人见伏兵已经夺了城, 城中烟气飞腾, 就转身回去, 击杀艾城的人.

8:22 Then the others from the city came out to meet them, and they found themselves surrounded by Israel, some on one side, and others on the other side. And they struck them down until no survivor or fugitive was left.
伏兵也出城迎击艾城人, 艾城人就困在以色列人中间, 前后都是以色列人. 于是以色列人击杀他们, 没有留下一个, 也没有一个逃脱的,

8:23 But they captured the king of Ai alive, and they brought him to Joshua.
生擒了艾城的王, 将他解到约书亚那里.

8:24 When Israel finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they all had perished, all Israel returned to Ai and attacked it with the edge of the sword.
以色列人在田间和旷野杀尽所追赶一切艾城的居民. 艾城人倒在刀下, 直到灭尽; 以色列众人就回到艾城, 用刀杀了城中的人.

8:25 All the people that fell on that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand—all the inhabitants of Ai.
当日杀毙的人, 连男带女共有一万二千, 就是艾城所有的人.

8:26 For Joshua did not draw back his hand that was stretched out with the sword until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
约书亚没有收回手里所伸出来的短枪, 直到把艾城的一切居民尽行杀灭.

8:27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of Yahweh that Joshua commanded.
惟独城中的牲畜和财物, 以色列人都取为自己的掠物, 是照耶和华所吩咐约书亚的话.

8:28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it an everlasting heap of rubbish, a desolate place until this day.
约书亚将艾城焚烧, 使城永为高堆,荒场, 直到今日;

8:29 The king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the time of evening, and as the sun went down Joshua commanded them, and they brought down his dead body from the tree. Then they threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and they raised over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.
又将艾城王挂在树上, 直到晚上. 日落的时候, 约书亚吩咐人把尸首从树上取下来, 丢在城门口, 在尸首上堆成一大堆石头, 直存到今日.

8:30 Then Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal for Yahweh the God of Israel,
那时, 约书亚在以巴路山上为耶和华─以色列的神筑一座坛,

8:31 as Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded the Israelites, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses: “an altar of unhewn stones on which no one has wielded an iron implement.” And they offered burnt offerings on it and sacrificed fellowship offerings.
是用没有动过铁器的整石头筑的, 照着耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐以色列人的话, 正如摩西律法书上所写的. 众人在这坛上给耶和华奉献燔祭和平安祭.

8:32 And there Joshua wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written, in the presence of the Israelites.
约书亚在那里, 当着以色列人面前, 将摩西所写的律法抄写在石头上.

8:33 Then all Israel, foreigner as well as native, with the elders, officials, and judges stood on either side of the ark before the priests and the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim, and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses Yahweh’s servant had commanded before to bless the people of Israel.
以色列众人, 无论是本地人,是寄居的, 和长老,官长, 并审判官, 都站在约柜两旁, 在抬耶和华约柜的祭司利未人面前, 一半对着基利心山, 一半对着以巴路山, 为以色列民祝福, 正如耶和华仆人摩西先前所吩咐的.

8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the curses, according to all that was written in the scroll of the law.
随后, 约书亚将律法上祝福,咒诅的话, 照着律法书上一切所写的, 都宣读了一遍.

8:35 There was not a word from all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read before the assembly of all Israel, and the women, the little children, and the traveling foreigners among them.
摩西所吩咐的一切话, 约书亚在以色列全会众和妇女,孩子, 并他们中间寄居的外人面前, 没有一句不宣读的.

Joshua - Chapter 9

9:1 Now when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the Shephelah, and on all the coast of the great sea toward Lebanon—the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites—heard of this,
约旦河西, 住山地,高原, 并对着黎巴嫩山沿大海一带的诸王, 就是赫人,亚摩利人,迦南人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人的诸王, 听见这事,

9:2 they gathered themselves together to fight with one accord against Joshua and Israel.
就都聚集, 同心合意地要与约书亚和以色列人争战.

9:3 But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua did to Jericho and Ai,
基遍的居民听见约书亚向耶利哥和艾城所行的事,

9:4 and they acted on their part with cunning: they went and prepared provisions, and took worn-out sacks for their donkeys and old wineskins that were torn and mended.
就设诡计, 假充使者, 拿旧口袋和破裂缝补的旧皮酒袋驮在驴上,

9:5 The sandals on their feet were patched and old, their clothes were old, and their food was dry and crumbled.
将补过的旧鞋穿在脚上, 把旧衣服穿在身上; 他们所带的饼都是干的, 长了霉了.

9:6 And they went to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far land; so then make a covenant with us.”
他们到吉甲营中见约书亚, 对他和以色列人说: “我们是从远方来的, 现在求你与我们立约. ”

9:7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you are living among us; how can we make a covenant with you?”
以色列人对这些希未人说: “只怕你们是住在我们中间的; 若是这样, 怎能和你们立约呢? ”

9:8 They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who are you, and from where do you come?”
他们对约书亚说: “我们是你的仆人. ”约书亚问他们说: “你们是甚么人? 是从哪里来的? ”

9:9 And they said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far land because of the name of Yahweh your God; we have heard of his reputation, of all that he did in Egypt,
他们回答说: “仆人从极远之地而来, 是因听见耶和华─你神的名声和他在埃及所行的一切事,

9:10 and of all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan—to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan, who was in Ashtaroth.
并他向约旦河东的两个亚摩利王, 就是希实本王西宏和在亚斯他录的巴珊王噩一切所行的事.

9:11 So our elders said to us and all the inhabitants of our land, ‘Take in your hand provisions for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, “We are your servants; so then make a covenant with us.” ’
我们的长老和我们那地的一切居民对我们说: ‘你们手里要带著路上用的食物去迎接以色列人, 对他们说: 我们是你们的仆人; 现在求你们与我们立约. ’

9:12 This is our bread; it was hot when we took it from our houses as provisions on the day we set out to come to you. But now, look, it is dry and crumbled.
我们出来要往你们这里来的日子, 从家里带出来的这饼还是热的; 看哪, 现在都干了, 长了霉了.

9:13 These are the wineskins that we filled new, but look, they have burst; and these are our clothes and sandals that have worn out from the very long journey.”
这皮酒袋, 我们盛酒的时候还是新的; 看哪, 现在已经破裂. 我们这衣服和鞋, 因为道路甚远, 也都穿旧了. ”

9:14 So the leaders took from their provisions, but they did not ask direction from Yahweh.
以色列人受了他们些食物, 并没有求问耶和华.

9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and he made a covenant with them to allow them to live happily, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
于是约书亚与他们讲和, 与他们立约, 容他们活着; 会众的首领也向他们起誓.

9:16 And it happened that at the end of three days, after they made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and living among them.
以色列人与他们立约之后, 过了三天才听见他们是近邻, 住在以色列人中间的.

9:17 And the Israelites set out and went to their cities on the third day (their cities were Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim).
以色列人起行, 第三天到了他们的城邑, 就是基遍,基非拉,比录,基列‧耶琳.

9:18 But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against their leaders.
因为会众的首领已经指著耶和华─以色列的神向他们起誓, 所以以色列人不击杀他们; 全会众就向首领发怨言.

9:19 But all the leaders of the congregation said, “We have sworn to them by Yahweh the God of Israel, and so we cannot touch them.
众首领对全会众说: “我们已经指著耶和华─以色列的神向他们起誓, 现在我们不能害他们.

9:20 This we will do to them: we will let them live so that wrath will not be on us because of the oath we swore to them.”
我们要如此待他们, 容他们活着, 免得有忿怒因我们所起的誓临到我们身上. ”

9:21 And the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they became woodcutters and water carriers for all the congregation, just as the leaders had said to them.
首领又对会众说: “要容他们活着. ”于是他们为全会众作了劈柴挑水的人, 正如首领对他们所说的话.

9:22 And Joshua summoned them and said, “Why have you deceived us saying, ‘We are very far from you’ when you are living among us?
约书亚召了他们来, 对他们说: “为甚么欺哄我们说‘我们离你们甚远’呢? 其实你们是住在我们中间.

9:23 Therefore you are cursed; some of you will always be slaves as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
现在你们是被咒诅的! 你们中间的人必断不了作奴仆, 为我神的殿作劈柴挑水的人. ”

9:24 And they answered Joshua and said, “Because it was told with certainty to your servants that Yahweh your God commanded Moses his servant to give to you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you, so we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and so we did this thing.
他们回答约书亚说: “因为有人实在告诉你的仆人, 耶和华─你的神曾吩咐他的仆人摩西, 把这全地赐给你们, 并在你们面前灭绝这地的一切居民, 所以我们为你们的缘故甚怕丧命, 就行了这事.

9:25 So then, look, we are in your hand; do with us whatever seems good and right in your eyes.”
现在我们在你手中, 你以怎样待我们为善为正, 就怎样做吧! ”

9:26 So he did this to them: he saved them from the hand of the Israelites, and they did not kill them.
于是约书亚这样待他们, 救他们脱离以色列人的手, 以色列人就没有杀他们.

9:27 And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place that he should choose.
当日约书亚使他们在耶和华所要选择的地方, 为会众和耶和华的坛作劈柴挑水的人, 直到今日.

Joshua - Chapter 10

10:1 And it happened that when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua captured Ai and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he did to Ai and its king) and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,
耶路撒冷王亚多尼‧洗德听见约书亚夺了艾城, 尽行毁灭, 怎样待耶利哥和耶利哥的王, 也照样待艾城和艾城的王, 又听见基遍的居民与以色列人立了和约, 住在他们中间,

10:2 he became very afraid because Gibeon was a very large city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty warriors.
就甚惧怕; 因为基遍是一座大城, 如都城一般, 比艾城更大, 并且城内的人都是勇士.

10:3 So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hohman king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
所以耶路撒冷王亚多尼‧洗德打发人去见希伯仑王何咸,耶末王毘兰,拉吉王雅非亚, 和伊矶伦王底璧, 说:

10:4 “Come up and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
“求你们上来帮助我, 我们好攻打基遍, 因为他们与约书亚和以色列人立了和约. ”

10:5 And the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their forces, and they laid siege to Gibeon and made war against it.
于是五个亚摩利王, 就是耶路撒冷王,希伯仑王,耶末王,拉吉王,伊矶伦王, 大家聚集, 率领他们的众军上去, 对着基遍安营, 攻打基遍.

10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not abandon your servant. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country have gathered against us.”
基遍人就打发人往吉甲的营中去见约书亚, 说: “你不要袖手不顾你的仆人, 求你速速上来拯救我们, 帮助我们, 因为住山地亚摩利人的诸王都聚集攻击我们. ”

10:7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the fighting men with him, all the best warriors.
于是约书亚和他一切兵丁, 并大能的勇士, 都从吉甲上去.

10:8 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have given them into your hand; no one will withstand you.
耶和华对约书亚说: “不要怕他们; 因为我已将他们交在你手里, 他们无一人能在你面前站立得住. ”

10:9 Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching up all night from Gilgal.
约书亚就终夜从吉甲上去, 猛然临到他们那里.

10:10 And Yahweh threw them into panic before Israel, who struck them with a great blow at Gibeon and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
耶和华使他们在以色列人面前溃乱. 约书亚在基遍大大地杀败他们, 追赶他们, 在伯‧和仑的上坡路击杀他们, 直到亚西加和玛基大.

10:11 And as they were fleeing from Israel, they were on the slope of Beth-horon, and Yahweh threw huge stones from the heavens on them as far as Azekah; and more died by the hail stones than those whom the Israelites killed by the sword.
他们在以色列人面前逃跑, 正在伯‧和仑下坡的时候, 耶和华从天上降大冰雹(原文是石头)在他们身上, 直降到亚西加, 打死他们. 被冰雹打死的, 比以色列人用刀杀死的还多.

10:12 Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh, on the day Yahweh gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun in Gibeon, stand still, and moon, in the valley of Aijalon.”
当耶和华将亚摩利人交付以色列人的日子, 约书亚就祷告耶和华, 在以色列人眼前说: 日头啊, 你要停在基遍; 月亮啊, 你要止在亚雅仑谷.

10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. Is it not written in the scroll of Jashar? The sun stood still in the middle of the heaven and was not in haste to set for about a full day.
于是日头停留, 月亮止住, 直等国民向敌人报仇. 这事岂不是写在雅煞珥书上吗? 日头在天当中停住, 不急速下落, 约有一日之久.

10:14 There has not been a day like this before it or after, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
在这日以前, 这日以后, 耶和华听人的祷告, 没有像这日的, 是因耶和华为以色列争战.

10:15 And Joshua returned and all Israel with him to the camp at Gilgal.
约书亚和以色列众人回到吉甲的营中.

10:16 But these five kings fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
那五王逃跑, 藏在玛基大洞里.

10:17 And it was told to Joshua, saying, “The five kings were found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
有人告诉约书亚说: “那五王已经找到了, 都藏在玛基大洞里. ”

10:18 And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men in front of it to guard them.
约书亚说: “你们把几块大石头滚到洞口, 派人看守,

10:19 But do not stay there; pursue after your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to go into their cities, for Yahweh your God has given them into your hand.”
你们却不可耽延, 要追赶你们的仇敌, 击杀他们尽后边的人, 不容他们进自己的城邑, 因为耶和华－你们的神已经把他们交在你们手里. ”

10:20 When Joshua and the Israelites had finished striking them with a very great blow, until they perished, those of them who survived went into the fortified cities,
约书亚和以色列人大大杀败他们, 直到将他们灭尽; 其中剩下的人都进了坚固的城.

10:21 and all the people returned to the camp safely to Joshua at Makkedah. No one spoke against the Israelites.
众百姓就安然回玛基大营中, 到约书亚那里. 没有一人敢向以色列人饶舌.

10:22 And Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring to me those five kings from the cave.”
约书亚说: “打开洞口, 将那五王从洞里带出来, 领到我面前. ”

10:23 And they did so, and brought him these five kings from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
众人就这样行, 将那五王, 就是耶路撒冷王,希伯仑王,耶末王,拉吉王,伊矶伦王, 从洞里带出来, 领到约书亚面前.

10:24 And when they brought these kings to Joshua, Joshua called all the men of Israel and said to the commanders of the fighting men who had gone with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
带出那五王到约书亚面前的时候, 约书亚就召了以色列众人来, 对那些和他同去的军长说: “你们近前来, 把脚踏在这些王的颈项上. ”他们就近前来, 把脚踏在这些王的颈项上.

10:25 And Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or dismayed! Be strong and bold, for thus Yahweh will do to all your enemies whom you are about to fight.
约书亚对他们说: “你们不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶. 应当刚强壮胆, 因为耶和华必这样待你们所要攻打的一切仇敌. ”

10:26 And after this Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he hanged them on five trees. And they were hanging on the trees until the evening.
随后约书亚将这五王杀死, 挂在五棵树上. 他们就在树上直挂到晚上.

10:27 And it happened at the time of sunset, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and they put large stones against the mouth of the cave, which are there to this very day.
日头要落的时候, 约书亚一吩咐, 人就把尸首从树上取下来, 丢在他们藏过的洞里, 把几块大石头放在洞口, 直存到今日.

10:28 Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and he struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and everyone that was in it. He did not leave behind a survivor. So he did to the king of Makkedah just as he did to the king of Jericho.
当日, 约书亚夺了玛基大, 用刀击杀城中的人和王; 将其中一切人口尽行杀灭, 没有留下一个. 他待玛基大王, 像从前待耶利哥王一样.

10:29 And Joshua passed on, and all of Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against Libnah.
约书亚和以色列众人从玛基大往立拿去, 攻打立拿.

10:30 And Yahweh also gave it into the hand of Israel, and its king and all the people in it he struck with the edge of the sword. He left in it no survivor. He did to its king just as he did to the king of Jericho.
耶和华将立拿和立拿的王也交在以色列人手里. 约书亚攻打这城, 用刀击杀了城中的一切人口, 没有留下一个. 他待立拿王, 像从前待耶利哥王一样.

10:31 And Joshua passed on, and all of Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and he laid siege to it and fought against it.
约书亚和以色列众人从立拿往拉吉去, 对着拉吉安营, 攻打这城.

10:32 And Yahweh gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and everyone in it, just as he did to Libnah.
耶和华将拉吉交在以色列人的手里. 第二天约书亚就夺了拉吉, 用刀击杀了城中的一切人口, 是照他向立拿一切所行的.

那时基色王荷兰上来帮助拉吉, 约书亚就把他和他的民都击杀了, 没有留下一个.

10:34 And Joshua passed on, and all of Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they laid siege to it and fought against it.
约书亚和以色列众人从拉吉往伊矶伦去, 对着伊矶伦安营, 攻打这城.

10:35 And they captured it on that day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the people that were in it on that day he utterly destroyed as he had done to Lachish.
当日就夺了城, 用刀击杀了城中的人. 那日, 约书亚将城中的一切人口尽行杀灭, 是照他向拉吉一切所行的.

约书亚和以色列众人从伊矶伦上希伯仑去, 攻打这城,

10:37 and captured it, and they struck it with the edge of the sword, its king and all its cities, and all the people that were in it; he left behind no survivor, as he had done to Eglon, and he utterly destroyed it and all the people that were in it.
就夺了希伯仑和属希伯仑的诸城邑, 用刀将城中的人与王, 并那些城邑中的人口, 都击杀了, 没有留下一个, 是照他向伊矶伦所行的, 把城中的一切人口尽行杀灭.

10:38 Then Joshua returned to Debir, and all of Israel with him, and they fought against it,
约书亚和以色列众人回到底璧, 攻打这城,

10:39 and he captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the the edge of the sword, and they utterly destroyed all the people that were in it; he left behind no survivor, just as he had done to Hebron. Thus he did to Debir and its king what he had done to Libnah and its king.
就夺了底璧和属底璧的城邑, 又擒获底璧的王, 用刀将这些城中的人口尽行杀灭, 没有留下一个. 他待底璧和底璧王, 像从前待希伯仑和立拿与立拿王一样.

10:40 So Joshua struck all the land—the hill country, the Negev, the Shephelah, and the slopes—and all their kings; he left behind no survivor, and all that breathed he utterly destroyed as Yahweh the God of Israel commanded.
这样, 约书亚击杀全地的人, 就是山地,南地,高原,山坡的人, 和那些地的诸王, 没有留下一个. 将凡有气息的尽行杀灭, 正如耶和华─以色列的神所吩咐的.

10:41 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen up to Gibeon;
约书亚从加低斯‧巴尼亚攻击到迦萨, 又攻击歌珊全地, 直到基遍.

10:42 all of these kings and their land Joshua captured at one time, because Yahweh the God of Israel fought for Israel.

Joshua - Chapter 11

11:1 And it happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Acshaph,
夏琐王耶宾听见这事, 就打发人去见玛顿王约巴,伸仑王,押煞王,

11:2 and to the kings who were in the north in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the Shephelah, and in Naphoth Dor in the west,
与北方山地,基尼烈南边的亚拉巴高原, 并西边多珥山冈的诸王;

11:3 to the Canaanites in the east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
又去见东方和西方的迦南人, 与山地的亚摩利人,赫人,比利洗人,耶布斯人, 并黑门山根米斯巴地的希未人.

11:4 They came out, they and all their armies with them, as a great army like the sand on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.
这些王和他们的众军都出来, 人数多如海边的沙, 并有许多马匹车辆.

11:5 And all these kings joined forces, and they came and camped together by the waters of Merom to fight with Israel.
这诸王会合, 来到米伦水边, 一同安营, 要与以色列人争战.

11:6 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of their presence, for tomorrow at this time I will hand them over slain to Israel; you will hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
耶和华对约书亚说: “你不要因他们惧怕. 明日这时, 我必将他们交付以色列人全然杀了. 你要砍断他们马的蹄筋, 用火焚烧他们的车辆. ”

11:7 So Joshua, and all the fighting men with him, came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and they attacked them.
于是约书亚率领一切兵丁, 在米伦水边突然向前攻打他们.

11:8 And Yahweh gave them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them up to Great Sidon and Misrephoth Maim, and eastward up to the valley of Mizpeh. And they struck them until they left behind no survivor.
耶和华将他们交在以色列人手里, 以色列人就击杀他们, 追赶他们到西顿大城, 到米斯利弗‧玛音, 直到东边米斯巴的平原, 将他们击杀, 没有留下一个.

11:9 And Joshua did to them as Yahweh commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
约书亚就照耶和华所吩咐他的去行, 砍断他们马的蹄筋, 用火焚烧他们的车辆.

11:10 Then Joshua turned back at that time, and he captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword, because Hazor formerly was the head of all these kingdoms.
当时, 约书亚转回夺了夏琐, 用刀击杀夏琐王. (素来夏琐在这诸国中是为首的. )

11:11 He struck all the people that were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed, and he burned Hazor with fire.
以色列人用刀击杀城中的人口, 将他们尽行杀灭; 凡有气息的没有留下一个. 约书亚又用火焚烧夏琐.

11:12 And Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he utterly destroyed them with the edge of the sword, as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.
约书亚夺了这些王的一切城邑, 擒获其中的诸王, 用刀击杀他们, 将他们尽行杀灭, 正如耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐的.

11:13 Israel did not burn the cities standing on their mounds, except Hazor alone, which Joshua burned.
至于造在山冈上的城, 除了夏琐以外, 以色列人都没有焚烧. 约书亚只将夏琐焚烧了.

11:14 And all the spoil and livestock of these cities the Israelites took as booty; they struck the people with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them—they left behind no one who breathed.
那些城邑所有的财物和牲畜, 以色列人都取为自己的掠物; 惟有一切人口都用刀击杀, 直到杀尽; 凡有气息的没有留下一个.

11:15 Just as Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua did; he left nothing undone that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
耶和华怎样吩咐他仆人摩西, 摩西就照样吩咐约书亚, 约书亚也照样行. 凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的, 约书亚没有一件懈怠不行的.

11:16 So Joshua took all this land: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the Shephelah, the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel and its Shephelah,
约书亚夺了那全地, 就是山地,一带南地,歌珊全地,高原,亚拉巴,以色列的山地, 和山下的高原.

11:17 from Mount Halak that rises to Seir and to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon; he captured all their kings, struck them, and killed them.
从上西珥的哈拉山, 直到黑门山下黎巴嫩平原的巴力‧迦得, 并且擒获那些地的诸王, 将他们杀死.

11:18 For many days Joshua made war with all these kings.
约书亚和这诸王争战了许多年日.

11:19 There was not a city that made peace with the Israelites besides the Hivites and the inhabitants of Gibeon—all were taken in battle.
除了基遍的希未人之外, 没有一城与以色列人讲和的, 都是以色列人争战夺来的.

11:20 For it was Yahweh that hardened their hearts, to meet Israel in war in order to utterly destroy them without mercy, that they would destroy them just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
因为耶和华的意思是要使他们心里刚硬, 来与以色列人争战, 好叫他们尽被杀灭, 不蒙怜悯, 正如耶和华所吩咐摩西的.

11:21 At that time Joshua came and exterminated the Anakites from the hill country, from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
当时约书亚来到, 将住山地,希伯仑,底璧,亚拿伯,犹大山地,以色列山地所有的亚衲族人剪除了. 约书亚将他们和他们的城邑尽都毁灭.

11:22 None of the Anakites were left in the land of the Israelites; some remained only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
在以色列人的地没有留下一个亚衲族人, 只在迦萨,迦特, 和亚实突有留下的.

11:23 Joshua took all the land according to all that Yahweh had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel, according to their tribal divisions, and the land rested from war.
这样, 约书亚照着耶和华所吩咐摩西的一切话夺了那全地, 就按著以色列支派的宗族将地分给他们为业. 于是国中太平, 没有争战了.

Joshua - Chapter 13

13:1 Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and Yahweh said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.
约书亚年纪老迈, 耶和华对他说: “你年纪老迈了, 还有许多未得之地,

13:2 This is the remaining land: all the regions of the Philistines, and all of the Geshurites,
就是非利士人的全境和基述人的全地.

13:3 from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, up to the border of Ekron to the north, which is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five Philistine rulers: the Gazites, Ashdodites, Ashkelonites, Gittites, Ekronites, and the Avvim.
从埃及前的西曷河往北, 直到以革伦的境界, 就算属迦南人之地. 有非利士人五个首领所管的迦萨人,亚实突人,亚实基伦人,迦特人,以革伦人之地, 并有南方亚卫人之地.

13:4 In the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah, which belongs to the Sidonians up to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites,
又有迦南人的全地, 并属西顿人的米亚拉到亚弗, 直到亚摩利人的境界.

13:5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all the Lebanon, toward the east, from Baal Gad at the foot of Mount Hermon up to Lebo-Hamath;
还有迦巴勒人之地, 并向日出的全黎巴嫩, 就是从黑门山根的巴力‧迦得, 直到哈马口.

13:6 all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon up to Misrephoth Maim, and all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the Israelites; only allocate it to Israel as an inheritance just as I have commanded you.
山地的一切居民, 从黎巴嫩直到米斯利弗‧玛音, 就是所有的西顿人, 我必在以色列人面前赶出他们去. 你只管照我所吩咐的, 将这地拈阄分给以色列人为业.

13:7 Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
现在你要把这地分给九个支派和玛拿西半个支派为业. ”

13:8 With it the Reubenites, and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to them:
玛拿西那半支派和流便,迦得二支派已经受了产业, 就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东所赐给他们的:

13:9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi of Arnon, and the city which is in the middle of the wadi, and all the plateau from Medeba up to Dibon;
是从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城, 并米底巴的全平原, 直到底本,

13:10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon up to the border of the Ammonites;
和在希实本作王亚摩利王西宏的诸城, 直到亚扪人的境界;

又有巴珊王噩的全国─他在亚斯他录和以得来作王(利乏音人所存留的只剩下他). 这些地的人都是摩西所击杀,所赶逐的.

13:13 But the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this day.
以色列人却没有赶逐基述人,玛迦人; 这些人仍住在以色列中, 直到今日.

13:14 Only the tribe of Levites Moses did not give an inheritance; the offerings made by fire to Yahweh the God of Israel are their inheritance, just as he promised to them.
只是利未支派, 摩西(原文是他)没有把产业分给他们. 他们的产业乃是献与耶和华─以色列神的火祭, 正如耶和华所应许他们的.

13:15 Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the descendants of Reuben according to their families.

平原的各城, 并亚摩利王西宏的全国. 这西宏曾在希实本作王, 摩西把他和米甸的族长以未,利金,苏珥,户珥,利巴击杀了; 这都是住那地属西宏为首领的.

13:22 In addition to their slain, the Israelites killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination.
那时以色列人在所杀的人中, 也用刀杀了比珥的儿子术士巴兰.

13:23 And the border of the descendants of Reuben was the Jordan and its banks. This was the inheritance of the descendants of Reuben according to their families, the cities, and their villages.
流便人的境界就是约旦河与靠近约旦河的地. 以上是流便人按著宗族所得为业的诸城, 并属城的村庄.

13:24 Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the descendants of Gad, according to their families.

从希实本到拉抹‧米斯巴和比多宁, 又从玛哈念到底璧的境界,

13:27 in the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its banks, up to the lower end of the Kinnereth Sea beyond the Jordan to the east.
并谷中的伯‧亚兰,伯‧宁拉,疏割,撒分, 就是希实本王西宏国中的余地, 以及约旦河与靠近约旦河的地, 直到基尼烈海的极边, 都在约旦河东.

13:28 This is the inheritance of the Gadites according to their families, the cities, and their villages.
以上是迦得人按著宗族所得为业的诸城, 并属城的村庄.

13:29 Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; it was for the half-tribe of the descendants of Manasseh according to their families.
摩西把产业分给玛拿西半支派, 是按著玛拿西半支派的宗族所分的.

13:30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the settlements of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities,
他们的境界是从玛哈念起, 包括巴珊全地, 就是巴珊王噩的全国, 并在巴珊,睚珥的一切城邑, 共六十个.

13:31 and half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth, Edrei, and the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan; these were allotted to the children of Makir son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Makir according to their families.
基列的一半, 并亚斯他录,以得来, 就是属巴珊王噩国的二城, 是按著宗族给玛拿西的儿子玛吉的一半子孙.

13:32 These are the territories that Moses gave as an inheritance on the desert-plateau of Moab, beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho.
以上是摩西在约旦河东对着耶利哥的摩押平原所分给他们的产业.

13:33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses did not give an inheritance; Yahweh the God of Israel, he is their inheritance, just as he promised them.
只是利未支派, 摩西没有把产业分给他们. 耶和华─以色列的神是他们的产业, 正如耶和华所应许他们的.

Joshua - Chapter 14

14:1 These are the territories that the Israelites inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the Israelites gave as an inheritance to them.
以色列人在迦南地所得的产业, 就是祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚, 并以色列各支派的族长所分给他们的, 都记在下面,

14:2 Their inheritance was by lot, just as Yahweh commanded through the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的, 把产业拈阄分给九个半支派.

14:3 For Moses had given an inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
原来, 摩西在约旦河东已经把产业分给那两个半支派, 只是在他们中间没有把产业分给利未人.

14:4 For the descendants of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a plot of ground to the Levites in the land, only cities to live in, with their pastureland for their flocks and for their goods.
因为约瑟的子孙是两个支派, 就是玛拿西和以法莲, 所以没有把地分给利未人, 但给他们城邑居住, 并城邑的郊野, 可以牧养他们的牲畜, 安置他们的财物.

14:5 Just as Yahweh commanded Moses, so the Israelites did; and they allotted the land.
耶和华怎样吩咐摩西, 以色列人就照样行, 把地分了.

14:6 Then the descendants of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal; and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word that Yahweh said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea concerning you and me.
那时, 犹大人来到吉甲见约书亚, 有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒对约书亚说: “耶和华在加低斯‧巴尼亚指着我与你对神人摩西所说的话, 你都知道了.

14:7 I was forty years old when Moses Yahweh’s servant sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I returned with an honest report.
耶和华的仆人摩西从加低斯‧巴尼亚打发我窥探这地, 那时我正四十岁; 我按著心意回报他.

14:8 My companions who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt, but I remained true to Yahweh my God.
然而, 同我上去的众弟兄使百姓的心消化; 但我专心跟从耶和华─我的神.

14:9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land that your foot has trodden on will be an inheritance to you and your sons forever, because you remained true to Yahweh my God.’
当日摩西起誓说: ‘你脚所踏之地定要归你和你的子孙永远为业, 因为你专心跟从耶和华─我的神. ’

14:10 So then, look, Yahweh has kept me alive just as he promised these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Now look, today I am eighty-five years old.
自从耶和华对摩西说这话的时候, 耶和华照他所应许的使我存活这四十五年; 其间以色列人在旷野行走. 看哪, 现今我八十五岁了,

14:11 Today I am still strong, just as on the day that Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so now also is my strength for war and for daily activities.
我还是强壮, 像摩西打发我去的那天一样; 无论是争战, 是出入, 我的力量那时如何, 现在还是如何.

14:12 So now give me this hill country that Yahweh spoke of on that day, for you heard on that day that the Anakites were there, with great and fortified cities. Perhaps Yahweh is with me, and I will drive them out just as Yahweh promised.”
求你将耶和华那日应许我的这山地给我; 那里有亚衲族人, 并宽大坚固的城, 你也曾听见了. 或者耶和华照他所应许的与我同在, 我就把他们赶出去. ”

14:13 And Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.
于是约书亚为耶孚尼的儿子迦勒祝福, 将希伯仑给他为业.

所以希伯仑作了基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业, 直到今日, 因为他专心跟从耶和华─以色列的神.

希伯仑从前名叫基列‧亚巴; 亚巴是亚衲族中最尊大的人. 于是国中太平, 没有争战了.

约书亚照耶和华所吩咐的, 将犹大人中的一段地, 就是基列‧亚巴, 分给耶孚尼的儿子迦勒. 亚巴是亚衲族的始祖(基列‧亚巴就是希伯仑).

迦勒就从那里赶出亚衲族的三个族长, 就是示筛,亚希幔,挞买;

15:15 And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir (the former name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher).
又从那里上去, 攻击底璧的居民. (这底璧从前名叫基列‧西弗. )

15:16 And Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, I will give to him my daughter Acsah as a wife.”
迦勒说: “谁能攻打基列‧西弗将城夺取, 我就把我女儿押撒给他为妻. ”

迦勒兄弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂夺取了那城, 迦勒就把女儿押撒给他为妻.

押撒过门的时候, 劝丈夫向她父亲求一块田, 押撒一下驴, 迦勒问她说: “你要甚么? ”

她说: “求你赐福给我, 你既将我安置在南地, 求你也给我水泉. ”她父亲就把上泉下泉赐给她.

Joshua - Chapter 16

16:1 The allotment of the descendants of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho to the east, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel;
约瑟的子孙拈阄所得之地是从靠近耶利哥的约旦河起, 以耶利哥东边的水为界: 从耶利哥上去, 通过山地的旷野, 到伯特利;

16:2 it continues from Bethel to Luz, and it passes along to the territory of the Arkites at Ataroth.
又从伯特利到路斯, 接连到亚基人的境界, 至亚他绿;

16:3 Then it goes down, to the west, to the territory of the Japhletites, up to the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea.
又往西下到押利提人的境界, 到下伯‧和仑的境界, 直到基色, 通到海为止.

16:4 And the descendants of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.
约瑟的儿子玛拿西,以法莲就得了他们的地业.

16:5 This was the border of the descendants of Ephraim according to their families: the border of their inheritance to the east was Ataroth Addar, up to Upper Beth-horon.
以法莲子孙的境界, 按著宗族所得的, 记在下面: 他们地业的东界是亚他绿‧亚达到上伯‧和仑;

16:6 The border continues to the sea; from Micmethath to the north, the border turns to the east to Taanath Shiloh, and it passes along it from the east to Janoah.
往西通到北边的密米他, 又向东绕到他纳‧示罗, 又接连到雅挪哈的东边;

从雅挪哈下到亚他绿, 又到拿拉, 达到耶利哥, 通到约旦河为止;

他们没有赶出住基色的迦南人; 迦南人却住在以法莲人中间, 成为做苦工的仆人, 直到今日.

Joshua - Chapter 17

17:1 Then the allotment was made for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a warrior.
玛拿西是约瑟的长子, 他的支派拈阄所得之地记在下面. 至于玛拿西的长子基列之父(或译: 主)玛吉, 因为是勇士就得了基列和巴珊.

17:2 An allotment was made for the remaining descendants of Manasseh, according to their families: For the children of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida—these were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph according to their families.
玛拿西其余的子孙, 按著宗族拈阄分地, 就是亚比以谢子孙, 希勒子孙, 亚斯列子孙, 示剑子孙, 希弗子孙, 示米大子孙; 这些按著宗族, 都是约瑟儿子玛拿西子孙的男丁.

17:3 But Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
玛拿西的玄孙, 玛吉的曾孙, 基列的孙子, 希弗的儿子西罗非哈没有儿子, 只有女儿. 他的女儿名叫玛拉,挪阿,曷拉,密迦,得撒;

17:4 They came before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, “Yahweh commanded Moses to give an inheritance to us among our kinsmen.” Therefore, according to the command of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the kinsmen of their father.
她们来到祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚并众首领面前, 说: “耶和华曾吩咐摩西在我们弟兄中分给我们产业. ”于是约书亚照耶和华所吩咐的, 在她们伯叔中, 把产业分给她们.

17:5 Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,
除了约旦河东的基列和巴珊地之外, 还有十分地归玛拿西,

17:6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead was allotted to the remaining descendants of Manasseh.
因为玛拿西的孙女们在玛拿西的孙子中得了产业. 基列地是属玛拿西其余的子孙.

17:7 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is opposite Shechem; then the border goes to the south, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
玛拿西的境界: 从亚设起, 到示剑前的密米他, 往北到隐‧他普亚居民之地.

17:8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tuppuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the descendants of Ephraim.
他普亚地归玛拿西, 只是玛拿西境界上的他普亚城归以法莲子孙.

17:9 Then the border goes down to the wadi of Kanah to the south of the wadi. These cities belong to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh is north of the wadi, and it ends at the sea.
其界下到加拿河的南边. 在玛拿西城邑中的这些城邑都归以法莲. 玛拿西的地界是在河北直通到海为止;

17:10 The south is Ephraim’s, and the north is Manasseh’s; the sea is their border; Asher touches the north and on the east Issachar.
南归以法莲, 北归玛拿西, 以海为界; 北边到亚设, 东边到以萨迦.

17:11 In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; the third is Napheth.
玛拿西在以萨迦和亚设境内, 有伯‧善和属伯‧善的镇市, 以伯莲和属以伯莲的镇市, 多珥的居民和属多珥的镇市; 又有三处山冈, 就是隐‧多珥和属隐‧多珥的镇市; 他纳的居民和属他纳的镇市, 米吉多的居民和属米吉多的镇市.

17:12 But the descendants of Manasseh were not able to take possession of these towns; the Canaanites were determined to live in this land.
只是玛拿西子孙不能赶出这些城的居民, 迦南人偏要住在那地.

17:13 And it happened, when the Israelites grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor but never drove them out completely.
及至以色列人强盛了, 就使迦南人做苦工, 没有把他们全然赶出.

17:14 The descendants of Joseph spoke with Joshua, saying, “Why have you given us one allotment and one share as an inheritance? We are many people, which Yahweh has blessed.”
约瑟的子孙对约书亚说: “耶和华到如今既然赐福与我们, 我们也族大人多, 你为甚么仅将一阄一段之地分给我们为业呢? ”

17:15 And Joshua said to them, “If you are many people, go up to the forest and clear a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
约书亚说: “你们如果族大人多, 嫌以法莲山地窄小, 就可以上比利洗人,利乏音人之地, 在树林中砍伐树木. ”

17:16 And the descendants of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all of the Canaanites living in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, those in Beth-shean and its villages, and those in the Jezreel Valley.”
约瑟的子孙说: “那山地容不下我们, 并且住平原的迦南人, 就是住伯‧善和属伯‧善的镇市, 并住耶斯列平原的人, 都有铁车. ”

17:17 And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You are many people and have great power; you will not have one allotment only;
约书亚对约瑟家, 就是以法莲和玛拿西人, 说: “你是族大人多, 并且强盛, 不可仅有一阄之地,

17:18 the hill country will be yours. Even though it is a forest, you will clear it, and it will be yours to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
山地也要归你, 虽是树林, 你也可以砍伐; 靠近之地必归你. 迦南人虽有铁车, 虽是强盛, 你也能把他们赶出去. ”

Joshua - Chapter 18

18:1 The entire congregation of the Israelites assembled at Shiloh, and they set up there the tent of meeting, and the land was subdued before them.
以色列的全会众都聚集在示罗, 把会幕设立在那里, 那地已经被他们制伏了.

18:2 And seven tribes remained among the Israelites who had not been apportioned their inheritance.
以色列人中其余的七个支派还没有分给他们地业.

18:3 And Joshua said to the Israelites, “How long will you be slack about going to take possession of the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
约书亚对以色列人说: “耶和华－你们列祖的神所赐给你们的地, 你们耽延不去得, 要到几时呢?

18:4 Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them so that they may begin to go through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance, and let them come to me.
你们每支派当选举三个人, 我要打发他们去, 他们就要起身走遍那地, 按著各支派应得的地业写明(或译: 画图), 就回到我这里来.

18:5 They will divide it among themselves into seven portions; Judah will maintain its border from the south, and the house of Joseph will maintain its border from the north.
他们要将地分做七分; 犹大仍在南方, 住在他的境内. 约瑟家仍在北方, 住在他的境内.

18:6 Describe the land in seven divisions, and bring it to me here; I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
你们要将地分做七分, 写明了拿到我这里来. 我要在耶和华─我们神面前, 为你们拈阄.

18:7 The Levites among you have no portion, for their inheritance is the priesthood of Yahweh; Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to them.”
利未人在你们中间没有分, 因为供耶和华祭司的职任就是他们的产业. 迦得支派,流便支派, 和玛拿西半支派已经在约旦河东得了地业, 就是耶和华仆人摩西所给他们的. ”

18:8 And the men went immediately, and Joshua commanded the ones going to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk about through the land, write a description, and return to me, and here I will cast a lot for you before Yahweh at Shiloh.”
划地势的人起身去的时候, 约书亚嘱咐他们说: “你们去走遍那地, 划明地势, 就回到我这里来. 我要在示罗这里, 耶和华面前, 为你们拈阄. ”

18:9 And the men went and passed through the land, and they described the cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh,
他们就去了, 走遍那地, 按著城邑分做七分, 写在册子上, 回到示罗营中见约书亚.

18:10 and Joshua cast a lot for them at Shiloh before Yahweh, and there he divided the land for the Israelites, to each a portion.
约书亚就在示罗, 耶和华面前, 为他们拈阄. 约书亚在那里, 按著以色列人的支派, 将地分给他们.

18:11 And the allotment of the tribe of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the border of their allotment fell between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.
便雅悯支派, 按著宗族拈阄所得之地, 是在犹大,约瑟子孙中间.

耶和华晓谕约书亚说:

“你吩咐以色列人说: 你们要照着我藉摩西所晓谕你们的, 为自己设立逃城,

20:3 Anyone who kills a person by accident or unintentionally may flee there; they will be for yourselves a refuge from the avenger of blood.
使那无心而误杀人的, 可以逃到那里. 这些城可以作你们逃避报血仇人的地方.

20:4 The killer will flee to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and state his case to the elders of that city; and they will take him into the city and give him a place, and he will dwell among them.
那杀人的要逃到这些城中的一座城, 站在城门口, 将他的事情说给城内的长老们听. 他们就把他收进城里, 给他地方, 使他住在他们中间.

20:5 And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they will not hand over the killer into his hand, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously.
若是报血仇的追了他来, 长老不可将他交在报血仇的手里; 因为他是素无仇恨, 无心杀了人的.

20:6 The killer will stay in that city until he stands before the congregation for the trial, until the death of the one who is the high priest in those days. Then the killer will return to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.’ ”
他要住在那城里, 站在会众面前听审判, 等到那时的大祭司死了, 杀人的才可以回到本城本家, 就是他所逃出来的那城. ”

又在约旦河外耶利哥东, 从流便支派中, 在旷野的平原, 设立比悉; 从迦得支派中设立基列的拉末; 从玛拿西支派中设立巴珊的哥兰.

20:9 These were the cities designated for all the Israelites, and for the foreigners dwelling among them, for anyone that kills a person unintentionally to flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until there is a trial before the congregation.

22:2 and he said to them, “You have observed all that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, and you have listened to my voice in all that I have commanded you;
对他们说: “耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐你们的, 你们都遵守了; 我所吩咐你们的, 你们也都听从了.

22:3 you have not forsaken your kinsmen these many days, up to this day, and you have observed the obligation of the command of Yahweh your God.
你们这许多日子, 总没有撇离你们的弟兄, 直到今日, 并守了耶和华─你们神所吩咐你们当守的.

22:4 So then, Yahweh your God has given rest to your kinsmen, just as he promised them; so then, turn and go to your tents to the land of your possession, which Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to you beyond the Jordan.
如今耶和华─你们神照着他所应许的, 使你们弟兄得享平安, 现在可以转回你们的帐棚, 到耶和华的仆人摩西在约旦河东所赐你们为业之地.

22:5 Only be very careful to observe the commandment and law that Moses Yahweh’s servant commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
只要切切地谨慎遵行耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐你们的诫命律法, 爱耶和华─你们的神, 行他一切的道, 守他的诫命, 专靠他, 尽心尽性事奉他. ”

22:6 And Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
于是约书亚为他们祝福, 打发他们去, 他们就回自己的帐棚去了.

22:7 And to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua had given a possession with their kinsmen beyond the Jordan to the west; and when Joshua sent them to their tents and blessed them,
玛拿西那半支派, 摩西早已在巴珊分给他们地业. 这半支派, 约书亚在约旦河西, 在他们弟兄中, 分给他们地业. 约书亚打发他们回帐棚的时候为他们祝福,

22:8 he said to them, “Return to your tents with much wealth, and with very much livestock, with silver, gold, copper, iron, and with very much clothing; divide the war-booty of your enemies with your kinsmen.”
对他们说: “你们带许多财物, 许多牲畜和金,银,铜,铁, 并许多衣服, 回你们的帐棚去, 要将你们从仇敌夺来的物, 与你们众弟兄同分. ”

22:9 So the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home and departed with the Israelites at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had acquired according to the command of Yahweh through the hand of Moses.
于是流便人,迦得人,玛拿西半支派的人从迦南地的示罗起行, 离开以色列人, 回往他们得为业的基列地, 就是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的得了为业之地.

以色列人听说流便人,迦得人,玛拿西半支派的人靠近约旦河边, 在迦南地属以色列人的那边筑了一座坛.

22:12 When the Israelites heard of it, the whole congregation of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh to go up against them for battle.
全会众一听见, 就聚集在示罗, 要上去攻打他们.

22:13 And the Israelites sent to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, Phinehas the priest son of Eleazar,
以色列人打发祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈, 往基列地去见流便人,迦得人,玛拿西半支派的人;

22:14 and ten leaders with him, one leader for each family from each of the tribes of Israel; and each one was the head of his family among the clans of Israel.
又打发十个首领与非尼哈同去, 就是以色列每支派的一个首领, 都是以色列军中的统领.

22:15 They came to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
他们到了基列地, 见流便人,迦得人, 和玛拿西半支派的人, 对他们说:

22:16 “Thus says all the congregation of Yahweh: ‘What is this treachery that you have committed against the God of Israel by turning away today from following Yahweh, by building for yourselves an altar to rebel today against Yahweh?
“耶和华全会众这样说, 你们今日转去不跟从耶和华, 干犯以色列的神, 为自己筑一座坛, 悖逆了耶和华, 这犯的是甚么罪呢?

22:17 Is not the sin of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves today, and for which a plague came to the congregation of Yahweh,
从前拜毘珥的罪孽还算小吗? 虽然瘟疫临到耶和华的会众, 到今日我们还没有洗净这罪.

22:18 that you must turn today from following Yahweh? If you rebel today against Yahweh, tomorrow he will be angry with all of the congregation of Israel;
你们今日竟转去不跟从耶和华吗? 你们今日既悖逆耶和华, 明日他必向以色列全会众发怒.

22:19 if, however, the land of your property is unclean, cross over to the land of Yahweh’s property, where Yahweh’s tabernacle resides, and take possession among us. But you must not rebel against Yahweh or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of Yahweh our God.
你们所得为业之地, 若嫌不洁净, 就可以过到耶和华之地, 就是耶和华的帐幕所住之地, 在我们中间得地业. 只是不可悖逆耶和华, 也不可得罪我们, 在耶和华─我们神的坛以外为自己筑坛.

22:20 Did not Achan son of Zerah commit treachery with devoted things, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And he alone did not perish because of his iniquity.’ ”
从前谢拉的曾孙亚干岂不是在那当灭的物上犯了罪, 就有忿怒临到以色列全会众吗? 那人在所犯的罪中不独一人死亡. ”

22:21 And the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh spoke with the heads of the clans of Israel,
于是流便人,迦得人,玛拿西半支派的人回答以色列军中的统领说:

22:22 “Yahweh, God of gods! Yahweh, God of gods knows. And let Israel itself know, if it was in rebellion or treachery against Yahweh, do not spare us this day
“大能者神耶和华! 大能者神耶和华! 他是知道的! 以色列人也必知道! 我们若有悖逆的意思, 或是干犯耶和华(愿你今日不保佑我们),

22:23 for building for ourselves an altar to turn away from Yahweh, or if it was to offer burnt offerings, grain offerings, or fellowship offerings on it, may Yahweh himself take vengeance.
为自己筑坛, 要转去不跟从耶和华, 或是要将燔祭,素祭,平安祭献在坛上, 愿耶和华亲自讨我们的罪.

22:24 But in fact, we have done this because of anxiety, because of a reason, saying, ‘In the future your children may say to our children, ‘What is the relationship between you and Yahweh the God of Israel?
我们行这事并非无故, 是特意做的, 说: 恐怕日后你们的子孙对我们的子孙说: ‘你们与耶和华─以色列的神有何关涉呢?

22:25 Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, the descendants of Reuben and Gad; you have no portion in Yahweh.’ So your children may put an end to our children worshiping Yahweh.
因为耶和华把约旦河定为我们和你们这流便人,迦得人的交界, 你们与耶和华无分了. ’这样, 你们的子孙就使我们的子孙不再敬畏耶和华了.

22:26 So we said, ‘Let us build immediately for ourselves an altar, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices;
因此我们说: ‘不如为自己筑一座坛, 不是为献燔祭, 也不是为献别的祭,

22:27 instead, it is a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us for performing the serving of Yahweh in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and fellowship offerings; so that your children may not say in the future to our children, “You have no portion in Yahweh.” ’
乃是为你我中间和你我后人中间作证据, 好叫我们也在耶和华面前献燔祭,平安祭, 和别的祭事奉他, 免得你们的子孙日后对我们的子孙说, 你们与耶和华无分了. ’

22:28 And we thought, if they say to us and to our children in the future, we can say, ‘Look at this replica of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices; rather, it is a witness between us and you.’
所以我们说: ‘日后你们对我们, 或对我们的后人这样说, 我们就可以回答说, 你们看我们列祖所筑的坛是耶和华坛的样式; 这并不是为献燔祭, 也不是为献别的祭, 乃是为作你我中间的证据. ’

22:29 Far be it from us to rebel against Yahweh, to turn today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, instead of the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.”
我们在耶和华─我们神帐幕前的坛以外, 另筑一座坛, 为献燔祭,素祭, 和别的祭, 悖逆耶和华, 今日转去不跟从他, 我们断没有这个意思. ”

22:30 Phinehas the priest, the leaders of the congregation, and the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him heard the words that the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh spoke, and they were satisfied.
祭司非尼哈与会中的首领, 就是与他同来以色列军中的统领, 听见流便人,迦得人,玛拿西人所说的话, 就都以为美.

22:31 Phinehas the priest, son of Eleazar, said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against Yahweh. Therefore you have rescued the Israelites from the hand of Yahweh.”
祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈对流便人,迦得人,玛拿西人说: “今日我们知道耶和华在我们中间, 因为你们没有向他犯了这罪. 现在你们救以色列人脱离耶和华的手了. ”

22:32 And Phinehas the priest, son of Eleazar, and the leaders returned from the descendants of Reuben and Gad, from the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan to the Israelites, and they gave them their report.
祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈与众首领离了流便人,迦得人, 从基列地回往迦南地, 到了以色列人那里, 便将这事回报他们.

22:33 The report satisfied the Israelites; they blessed God, and they did not speak of going up for battle against them to destroy the land in which the descendants of Reuben and Gad were living.
以色列人以这事为美, 就称颂神, 不再提上去攻打流便人,迦得人,毁坏他们所住的地了.

22:34 The descendants of Reuben and Gad called the altar Witness, “Because,” they said, “it is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
流便人,迦得人给坛起名叫证坛, 意思说: 这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是神.

Joshua - Chapter 23

23:1 And it happened, after a long time, after Yahweh had given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, and after Joshua was old and well-advanced in years,
耶和华使以色列人安静, 不与四围的一切仇敌争战, 已经多日. 约书亚年纪老迈,

23:2 Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders, heads, judges, and officials, and he said to them, “I am old and well-advanced in years,
就把以色列众人的长老,族长,审判官, 并官长都召了来, 对他们说: “我年纪已经老迈.

23:3 and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you.
耶和华─你们的神因你们的缘故向那些国所行的一切事, 你们亲眼看见了, 因那为你们争战的是耶和华─你们的神.

23:4 Look! I have allotted to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, to the Great Sea in the west.
我所剪除和所剩下的各国, 从约旦河起到日落之处的大海, 我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业.

23:5 And Yahweh your God will push them back before you and drive them out of your sight, and you will possess their land, just as Yahweh your God promised to you.
耶和华─你们的神必将他们从你们面前赶出去, 使他们离开你们, 你们就必得他们的地为业, 正如耶和华─你们的神所应许的.

23:6 Be very strong to observe carefully all that is written in the scroll of the law of Moses so as not to turn aside from it, to the right or left,
所以, 你们要大大壮胆, 谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话, 不可偏离左右.

23:7 so as not to go among these remaining nations with you; do not profess the name of their gods, and do not swear by them, serve them, or bow down to them.
不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂. 他们的神, 你们不可提他的名, 不可指着他起誓, 也不可事奉,叩拜;

23:8 But hold fast to Yahweh your God, just as you have done up to this day.
只要照着你们到今日所行的, 专靠耶和华─你们的神.

23:9 Yahweh has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, nobody has withstood you to this day.
因为耶和华已经把又大又强的国民从你们面前赶出; 直到今日, 没有一人在你们面前站立得住.

23:10 One of your men put to flight a thousand, for Yahweh your God is fighting for you, just as he promised you.
你们一人必追赶千人, 因耶和华─你们的神照他所应许的, 为你们争战.

23:11 Take utmost care for the sake of your life to love Yahweh your God,
你们要分外谨慎, 爱耶和华─你们的神.

23:12 for if indeed you turn back and join these remaining nations among you, and you intermarry with them, marrying their women and they yours,
你们若稍微转去, 与你们中间所剩下的这些国民联络, 彼此结亲, 互相往来,

23:13 know for certain that Yahweh your God will not continue to drive out these nations from before you; they will be for you a snare and a trap, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.
你们要确实知道, 耶和华─你们的神必不再将他们从你们眼前赶出; 他们却要成为你们的网罗,机槛,肋上的鞭,眼中的刺, 直到你们在耶和华─你们神所赐的这美地上灭亡.

23:14 Look! I am about to die, and you know in all your hearts and souls that not one thing failed from all the good things that Yahweh your God promised concerning you; everything has been fulfilled; not one thing failed.
“我现在要走世人必走的路. 你们是一心一意地知道, 耶和华─你们神所应许赐福与你们的话没有一句落空, 都应验在你们身上了.

23:15 But just as all the good things came to you that Yahweh your God promised, so will Yahweh bring to you all the bad things until he has destroyed you from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.
耶和华─你们神所应许的一切福气怎样临到你们身上, 耶和华也必照样使各样祸患临到你们身上, 直到把你们从耶和华─你们神所赐的这美地上除灭.

23:16 If you transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded to you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, Yahweh’s anger will be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land that he has given to you.”
你们若违背耶和华─你们神吩咐你们所守的约, 去事奉别神, 叩拜他, 耶和华的怒气必向你们发作, 使你们在他所赐的美地上速速灭亡. ”

Joshua - Chapter 24

24:1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem; he summoned the elders of Israel, their heads, their judges, and their officials, and they presented themselves before God.
约书亚将以色列的众支派聚集在示剑, 召了以色列的长老,族长,审判官, 并官长来, 他们就站在神面前.

24:2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘Long ago your ancestors—Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—lived beyond the river, and they served other gods.
约书亚对众民说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘古时你们的列祖, 就是亚伯拉罕和拿鹤的父亲他拉, 住在大河那边事奉别神,

24:3 I took your ancestor Abraham from beyond the river and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I increased his offspring; I gave him Isaac,
我将你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕从大河那边带来, 领他走遍迦南全地, 又使他的子孙众多, 把以撒赐给他;

24:4 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
又把雅各和以扫赐给以撒, 将西珥山赐给以扫为业; 后来雅各和他的子孙下到埃及去了.

24:5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out.
我差遣摩西,亚伦, 并照我在埃及中所行的降灾与埃及, 然后把你们领出来.

24:6 When I brought out your ancestors from Egypt, you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your ancestors with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
我领你们列祖出埃及, 他们就到了红海; 埃及人带领车辆马兵追赶你们列祖到红海.

24:7 They cried out to Yahweh, and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea over them and covered them; your own eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for many days.
你们列祖哀求耶和华, 他就使你们和埃及人中间黑暗了, 又使海水淹没埃及人. 我在埃及所行的事, 你们亲眼见过. 你们在旷野也住了许多年日.

24:8 And I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan; they fought you, and I gave them into your hand; you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you.
我领你们到约旦河东亚摩利人所住之地. 他们与你们争战, 我将他们交在你们手中, 你们便得了他们的地为业; 我也在你们面前将他们灭绝.

24:9 Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, set out and fought against Israel, and he sent and summoned Balaam son of Beor to curse you,
那时, 摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒起来攻击以色列人, 打发人召了比珥的儿子巴兰来咒诅你们.

24:10 but I was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he richly blessed you. So I rescued you from his hand,
我不肯听巴兰的话, 所以他倒为你们连连祝福. 这样, 我便救你们脱离巴勒的手.

24:11 and you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. And the citizens of Jericho, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, fought against you, and I gave them into your hand.
你们过了约旦河, 到了耶利哥; 耶利哥人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,迦南人,赫人,革迦撒人,希未人,耶布斯人都与你们争战; 我把他们交在你们手里.

24:12 I sent before you the hornet and they drove out before you two kings of the Amorites; but not by your sword or bow.
我打发黄蜂飞在你们前面, 将亚摩利人的二王从你们面前撵出, 并不是用你的刀, 也不是用你的弓.

24:13 I gave to you a land that you have not labored on, and cities that you have not built, and you live in them; you eat from vineyards and olive groves that you have not planted.’
我赐给你们地土, 非你们所修治的; 我赐给你们城邑, 非你们所建造的. 你们就住在其中, 又得吃非你们所栽种的葡萄园,橄榄园的果子. ’

24:14 “So now, revere Yahweh and serve him in sincerity and faithfulness; remove the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river and in Egypt, and serve Yahweh.
“现在你们要敬畏耶和华, 诚心实意地事奉他, 将你们列祖在大河那边和在埃及所事奉的神除掉, 去事奉耶和华.

24:15 But if it is bad in your eyes to serve Yahweh, choose for yourselves today whom you want to serve, whether it is the gods that your ancestors served beyond the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve Yahweh.”
若是你们以事奉耶和华为不好, 今日就可以选择所要事奉的: 是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢? 是你们所住这地的亚摩利人的神呢? 至于我和我家, 我们必定事奉耶和华. ”

24:16 And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we would forsake Yahweh to serve other gods,
百姓回答说: “我们断不敢离弃耶和华去事奉别神;

24:17 for Yahweh our God brought us and our ancestors from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and did these great signs before our eyes. He protected us along the entire way that we went, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.
因耶和华─我们的神曾将我们和我们列祖从埃及地的为奴之家领出来, 在我们眼前行了那些大神蹟, 在我们所行的道上, 所经过的诸国, 都保护了我们.

24:18 And Yahweh drove out all the people before us, the Amorites who live in the land. We will serve Yahweh, for he is our God.”
耶和华又把住此地的亚摩利人都从我们面前赶出去. 所以, 我们必事奉耶和华, 因为他是我们的神. ”

24:19 But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy and jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins.
约书亚对百姓说: “你们不能事奉耶和华; 因为他是圣洁的神, 是忌邪的神, 必不赦免你们的过犯罪恶.

24:20 If you forsake Yahweh and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster to you; he will destroy you after he has done good to you.”
你们若离弃耶和华去事奉外邦神, 耶和华在降福之后, 必转而降祸与你们, 把你们灭绝. ”

24:21 And the people said to Joshua, “No, we will serve Yahweh.”
百姓回答约书亚说: “不然, 我们定要事奉耶和华. ”

24:22 And Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves to serve Yahweh.” And they said, “We are witnesses.”
约书亚对百姓说: “你们选定耶和华, 要事奉他, 你们自己作见证吧! ”他们说: “我们愿意作见证. ”

24:23 He said, “Remove the foreign gods that are in your midst, and incline your hearts to Yahweh the God of Israel.”
约书亚说: “你们现在要除掉你们中间的外邦神, 专心归向耶和华─以色列的神. ”

24:24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve Yahweh our God, and we will listen to his voice.”
百姓回答约书亚说: “我们必事奉耶和华─我们的神, 听从他的话. ”

24:25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and he established for them a statute and a judgment at Shechem.
当日, 约书亚就与百姓立约, 在示剑为他们立定律例典章.

24:26 Then Joshua wrote these words in a scroll of the law of God, and he took a large stone and set it up there under a large tree, which is at the shrine of Yahweh.
约书亚将这些话都写在神的律法书上, 又将一块大石头立在橡树下耶和华的圣所旁边.

24:27 And Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of Yahweh that he spoke with us. It will be as a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God.”
约书亚对百姓说: “看哪, 这石头可以向我们作见证; 因为是听见了耶和华所吩咐我们的一切话, 倘或你们背弃你们的神, 这石头就可以向你们作见证(倘或...见证: 或译所以要向你们作见证, 免得你们背弃耶和华─你们的神). ”

24:28 Then Joshua sent the people away to their inheritance.
于是约书亚打发百姓各归自己的地业去了.

24:29 After these things Joshua son of Nun servant of Yahweh died; he was one hundred and ten years old.
这些事以后, 耶和华的仆人嫩的儿子约书亚, 正一百一十岁, 就死了.

24:30 They buried him in the territory of his inheritance, at Timnath-Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
以色列人将他葬在他地业的境内, 就是在以法莲山地的亭拿‧西拉, 在迦实山的北边.

24:31 Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who lived long after Joshua, and who had known all the work that Yahweh did for Israel.
约书亚在世和约书亚死后, 那些知道耶和华为以色列人所行诸事的长老还在的时候, 以色列人事奉耶和华.

24:32 The bones of Jacob, which the Israelites had brought out from Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in a piece of land that Jacob had bought from the children of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of money; it became an inheritance for the descendants of Joseph.
以色列人从埃及所带来约瑟的骸骨, 葬埋在示剑, 就是在雅各从前用一百块银子向示剑的父亲,哈抹的子孙所买的那块地里; 这就作了约瑟子孙的产业.

24:33 And Eleazar son of Aaron died; and they buried him in Gibeah in the hill country of Ephraim, which had been given to his son Phinehas.
亚伦的儿子以利亚撒也死了, 就把他葬在他儿子非尼哈所得以法莲山地的小山上.

Judges (士师记)

Judges - Chapter 1

1:1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Who will go up first for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”
约书亚死后, 以色列人求问耶和华说: “我们中间谁当首先上去攻击迦南人, 与他们争战? ”

1:2 And Yahweh said, “Judah will go up. I hereby give the land into his hand.”

那人往赫人之地去, 筑了一座城, 起名叫路斯. 那城到如今还叫这名.

1:27 Manasseh did not drive out Beth-Sean and its towns, or Taanach and its towns, or the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; the Canaanites were determined to live in this land.
玛拿西没有赶出伯‧善和属伯‧善乡村的居民, 他纳和属他纳乡村的居民, 多珥和属多珥乡村的居民, 以伯莲和属以伯莲乡村的居民, 米吉多和属米吉多乡村的居民; 迦南人却执意住在那些地方.

1:28 And it happened, when Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they never totally drove them out.
及至以色列强盛了, 就使迦南人做苦工, 没有把他们全然赶出.

1:29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in their midst in Gezer.
以法莲没有赶出住基色的迦南人. 于是迦南人仍住在基色, 在以法莲中间.

1:30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived in their midst and became subjected to forced labor.
西布伦没有赶出基伦的居民和拿哈拉的居民. 于是迦南人仍住在西布伦中间, 成了服苦的人.

1:31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob,
亚设没有赶出亚柯和西顿的居民, 亚黑拉和亚革悉的居民, 黑巴,亚弗革与利合的居民.

1:32 so the Asherites lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
于是, 亚设因为没有赶出那地的迦南人, 就住在他们中间.

1:33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or Beth-anath, but lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.
拿弗他利没有赶出伯‧示麦和伯‧亚纳的居民, 于是拿弗他利就住在那地的迦南人中间; 然而伯‧示麦和伯‧亚纳的居民成了服苦的人.

1:34 The Amorites pressed the descendants of Dan to the hill country, and they did not allow them to come down to the plain;
亚摩利人强逼但人住在山地, 不容他们下到平原;

1:35 the Amorites were determined to live in Har-heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy on them, and they became subjected to forced labor.
亚摩利人却执意住在希烈山和亚雅伦并沙宾. 然而约瑟家胜了他们, 使他们成了服苦的人.

1:36 The border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim from Sela and upward.
亚摩利人的境界, 是从亚克拉滨坡, 从西拉而上.

Judges - Chapter 2

2:1 And the angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and I brought you to the land that I had promised to your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
耶和华的使者从吉甲上到波金, 对以色列人说: “我使你们从埃及上来, 领你们到我向你们列祖起誓应许之地. 我又说: ‘我永不废弃与你们所立的约.

2:2 And as for you, do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; break down their altars.’ But you did not listen to my voice. Why would you do such a thing?
你们也不可与这地的居民立约, 要拆毁他们的祭坛. 你们竟没有听从我的话! 为何这样行呢? ’

2:3 Now I say, I will not drive them out from before you; they will become as thorns for you, and their gods will be a trap for you.”
因此我又说: ‘我必不将他们从你们面前赶出; 他们必作你们肋下的荆棘. 他们的神必作你们的网罗. ’”

2:4 And as the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the Israelites, the people wept bitterly.
耶和华的使者向以色列众人说这话的时候, 百姓就放声而哭;

2:5 And they called the name of this place Bokim, and there they sacrificed to Yahweh.
于是给那地方起名叫波金(就是哭的意思). 众人在那里向耶和华献祭.

2:6 And Joshua sent the people away, and the Israelites went each to their own inheritance to take possession of the land.
从前约书亚打发以色列百姓去的时候, 他们各归自己的地业, 占据地土.

2:7 And the people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who saw all the great work Yahweh had done for Israel.
约书亚在世和约书亚死后, 那些见耶和华为以色列人所行大事的长老还在的时候, 百姓都事奉耶和华.

2:8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Yahweh, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.
耶和华的仆人,嫩的儿子约书亚, 正一百一十岁就死了.

2:9 They buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnah-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.
以色列人将他葬在他地业的境内, 就是在以法莲山地的亭拿‧希烈, 在迦实山的北边.

2:10 Moreover, that entire generation was gathered to their ancestors, and another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or the work he had done for Israel.
那世代的人也都归了自己的列祖. 后来有别的世代兴起, 不知道耶和华, 也不知道耶和华为以色列人所行的事.

2:11 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and they served the Baals.
以色列人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 去事奉诸巴力,

2:12 They abandoned Yahweh the God of their ancestors, who brought them out from the land of Egypt. They followed other gods from the gods of the people who were around them; and they bowed down to them, and they provoked the anger of Yahweh.
离弃了领他们出埃及地的耶和华─他们列祖的神, 去叩拜别神, 就是四围列国的神, 惹耶和华发怒;

2:13 They abandoned Yahweh, and they served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
并离弃耶和华, 去事奉巴力和亚斯她录.

2:14 So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he gave them into the hand of plunderers; and they plundered them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies from all sides. They were unable to withstand their enemies any longer.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 就把他们交在抢夺他们的人手中, 又将他们付与四围仇敌的手中, 甚至他们在仇敌面前再不能站立得住.

2:15 Whenever they went out, the hand of Yahweh was against them to harm them, just as Yahweh warned, and just as Yahweh had sworn to them. And they were very distressed.
他们无论往何处去, 耶和华都以灾祸攻击他们, 正如耶和华所说的话, 又如耶和华向他们所起的誓; 他们便极其困苦.

2:16 Then Yahweh raised up leaders, and they delivered them from the hand of their plunderers.
耶和华兴起士师, 士师就拯救他们脱离抢夺他们人的手.

2:17 But they did not listen to their leaders, but lusted after other gods and bowed down to them. They turned away quickly from the way that their ancestors went, who had obeyed the commandment of Yahweh; they did not do as their ancestors.
他们却不听从士师, 竟随从叩拜别神, 行了邪淫, 速速地偏离他们列祖所行的道, 不如他们列祖顺从耶和华的命令.

2:18 And when Yahweh raised leaders for them, Yahweh was with the leader, and he delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the leader, for Yahweh was moved by their groaning because of their persecutors and oppressors.
耶和华为他们兴起士师, 就与那士师同在. 士师在世的一切日子, 耶和华拯救他们脱离仇敌的手. 他们因受欺压扰害, 就哀声叹气, 所以耶和华后悔了.

2:19 But when the leader died they relapsed and acted corruptly, more than their ancestors, following other gods, serving them, and bowing down to them. They would not give up their deeds or their stubborn ways.
及至士师死后, 他们就转去行恶, 比他们列祖更甚, 去事奉叩拜别神, 总不断绝顽梗的恶行.

2:20 So the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he said, “Because this people transgressed my covenant that I commanded their ancestors, and have not obeyed my voice,
于是耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作. 他说: “因这民违背我吩咐他们列祖所守的约, 不听从我的话,

2:21 I will not again drive out anyone from before them from the nations that Joshua left when he died,
所以约书亚死的时候所剩下的各族, 我必不再从他们面前赶出,

2:22 in order to test Israel whether or not they would observe the way of Yahweh, to walk in it just as their ancestors did.”
为要借此试验以色列人, 看他们肯照他们列祖谨守遵行我的道不肯. ”

2:23 So Yahweh left those nations; he did not drive them out at once, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
这样耶和华留下各族, 不将他们速速赶出, 也没有交付约书亚的手.

Judges - Chapter 3

3:1 These are the nations that Yahweh left, to test Israel by them (that is, to test all those who had not experienced any of the wars of Canaan,
耶和华留下这几族, 为要试验那不曾知道与迦南争战之事的以色列人,

3:2 in order that the generations of Israel would know war, to teach those who had not experienced it before):
好叫以色列的后代又知道又学习未曾晓得的战事.

3:3 the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon up to Lebo-Hamath.
所留下的就是非利士的五个首领和一切迦南人,西顿人, 并住黎巴嫩山的希未人, 从巴力‧黑们山直到哈马口.

3:4 They were left for testing Israel, to know whether they would keep the commands of Yahweh that he commanded their ancestors through the hand of Moses.
留下这几族, 为要试验以色列人, 知道他们肯听从耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们列祖的诫命不肯.

3:5 And the Israelites lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
以色列人竟住在迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人中间,

3:6 And they took their daughters as wives for themselves, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
娶他们的女儿为妻, 将自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子, 并事奉他们的神.

3:7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. They forgot Yahweh their God, and they served the Baals and the Asheroth.
以色列人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 忘记耶和华─他们的神, 去事奉诸巴力和亚舍拉,

3:8 And the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Aram Naharaim; and the Israelites served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.
所以耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 就把他们交在美索不达米亚王古珊‧利萨田的手中. 以色列人服事古珊‧利萨田八年.

3:9 The Israelites cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up a deliverer for the Israelites who delivered them, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
以色列人呼求耶和华的时候, 耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者救他们, 就是迦勒兄弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂.

3:10 And the spirit of Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and Yahweh gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and he prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.
耶和华的灵降在他身上, 他就作了以色列的士师, 出去争战. 耶和华将美索不达米亚王古珊‧利萨田交在他手中, 他便胜了古珊‧利萨田.

3:11 So the land rested forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
于是国中太平四十年. 基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了.

3:12 And again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. So Yahweh strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛, 攻击以色列人.

3:13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and Amalekites, and he went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms.
伊矶伦招聚亚扪人和亚玛力人, 去攻打以色列人, 占据棕树城.

3:14 And the Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
于是以色列人服事摩押王伊矶伦十八年.

3:15 And the Israelites cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjaminite and a left-handed man. And the Israelites sent a tribute to Eglon king of Moab through him.
以色列人呼求耶和华的时候, 耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者, 就是便雅悯人基拉的儿子以笏; 他是左手便利的. 以色列人托他送礼物给摩押王伊矶伦.

3:16 Ehud made for himself a short, two-edged sword (a cubit in length), and he fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.
以笏打了一把两刃的剑, 长一肘, 带在右腿上衣服里面.

3:17 Then he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
他将礼物献给摩押王伊矶伦(原来伊矶伦极其肥胖);

3:18 When Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.
以笏献完礼物, 便将抬礼物的人打发走了,

3:19 But he turned back from the sculptured stones that were near Gilgal, and he said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And he said, “Silence!” So all those standing in his presence went out,
自己却从靠近吉甲凿石之地回来, 说: “王啊, 我有一件机密事奏告你. ”王说: “回避吧! ”于是左右侍立的人都退去了.

3:20 and Ehud came to him while he was sitting alone in his cool upper room. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” So he got up from his seat.
以笏来到王面前; 王独自一人坐在凉楼上. 以笏说: “我奉神的命报告你一件事. ”王就从座位上站起来.

3:21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand for the sword on his right thigh, and he thrust it into his stomach.
以笏便伸左手, 从右腿上拔出剑来, 刺入王的肚腹,

3:22 And the handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade because he did not draw back the sword from his stomach; and it went protruding out the back.
连剑把都刺进去了. 剑被肥肉夹住, 他没有从王的肚腹拔出来, 且穿通了后身.

3:23 And Ehud went out the vestibule, and he closed the doors of the upper room and locked them behind him.
以笏就出到游廊, 将楼门尽都关锁.

3:24 After he left, his servants returned. When they saw that the doors of the upper room were locked, they thought, “Surely he is relieving himself in the cool inner room.”
以笏出来之后, 王的仆人到了, 看见楼门关锁, 就说: “他必是在楼上大解. ”

3:25 And they waited so long they became embarrassed because he did not open the doors of the upper room. So they took the key and opened the doors, and there their lord was lying on the ground dead.
他们等烦了, 见仍不开楼门, 就拿钥匙开了, 不料, 他们的主人已死, 倒在地上.

3:26 And Ehud escaped while they delayed. He passed by the sculptured stones and escaped to Seirah.
他们耽延的时候, 以笏就逃跑了, 经过凿石之地, 逃到西伊拉;

3:27 And when he arrived he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down from the hill country with him leading them.
到了, 就在以法莲山地吹角. 以色列人随着他下了山地, 他在前头引路,

3:28 And he said to them, “Follow after me! Yahweh has given Moab your enemies into your hand.” So they went down after him, and they captured the fords of the Jordan toward Moab; and they did not allow anyone to cross over.
对他们说: “你们随我来, 因为耶和华已经把你们的仇敌摩押人交在你们手中. ”于是他们跟着他下去, 把守约旦河的渡口, 不容摩押一人过去.

3:29 And they struck Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all strong and able men; no one escaped.
那时击杀了摩押人约有一万, 都是强壮的勇士, 没有一人逃脱.

3:30 And Moab was subdued on that day under the hand of Israel. And the land rested eighty years.
这样, 摩押就被以色列人制伏了. 国中太平八十年.

3:31 And Shamgar son of Anath came after him, and he killed six hundred Philistines with the goad of an ox; he also delivered Israel.
以笏之后, 有亚拿的儿子珊迦, 他用赶牛的棍子打死六百非利士人. 他也救了以色列人.

Judges - Chapter 4

4:1 And again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Ehud died.
以笏死后, 以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,

4:2 So Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, and he was living in Harosheth Haggoyim.
耶和华就把他们付与在夏琐作王的迦南王耶宾手中; 他的将军是西西拉, 住在外邦人的夏罗设.

4:3 And the Israelites cried to Yahweh, as he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the Israelites cruelly for twenty years.
耶宾王有铁车九百辆. 他大大欺压以色列人二十年, 以色列人就呼求耶和华.

4:4 Now at that time Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel.
有一位女先知名叫底波拉, 是拉比多的妻, 当时作以色列的士师.

4:5 And she used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites went up to her for judgment.
她住在以法莲山地拉玛和伯特利中间, 在底波拉的棕树下. 以色列人都上她那里去听判断.

4:6 She sent and called for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh Naphtali and said to him, “Has not Yahweh the God of Israel commanded you? ‘Go, march to Mount Tabor, and take ten thousand men from the descendants of Naphtali and Zebulun.
她打发人从拿弗他利的基低斯将亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉召了来, 对他说: “耶和华─以色列的神吩咐你说: ‘你率领一万拿弗他利和西布伦人上他泊山去.

4:7 I will draw out Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and troops, to the wadi of Kishon, and I will give him into your hand.’ ”
我必使耶宾的将军西西拉率领他的车辆和全军往基顺河, 到你那里去; 我必将他交在你手中. ’”

4:8 Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you do not go with me, I will not go.”
巴拉说: “你若同我去, 我就去; 你若不同我去, 我就不去. ”

4:9 She said, “Surely I will go with you; however, there will be no glory for you in the path you are taking, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” And Deborah stood up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
底波拉说: “我必与你同去, 只是你在所行的路上得不著荣耀, 因为耶和华要将西西拉交在一个妇人手里. ”于是底波拉起来, 与巴拉一同往基低斯去了.

4:10 Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and they went up behind him, ten thousand men, and Deborah went up with him.
巴拉就招聚西布伦人和拿弗他利人到基低斯, 跟他上去的有一万人. 底波拉也同他上去.

4:11 And Heber the Kenite was separated from the other Kenites, that is, from the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses. And he was encamped at Elon-bezaanannim, which is near Kedesh.
摩西岳父(或译: 内兄)何巴的后裔, 基尼人希百曾离开基尼族, 到靠近基低斯,撒拿音的橡树旁支搭帐棚.

4:12 When they reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
有人告诉西西拉说: “亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉已经上他泊山了. ”

4:13 Sisera summoned all his chariots—all nine hundred chariots of iron—and the entire army that was with him from Harosheth Haggoyim to the wadi of Kishon.
西西拉就聚集所有的铁车九百辆和跟随他的全军, 从外邦人的夏罗设出来, 到了基顺河.

4:14 And Deborah said to Barak, “Get up! This is the day that Yahweh has given Sisera into your hand. Has Yahweh not gone out before you?” So Barak went out from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
底波拉对巴拉说: “你起来, 今日就是耶和华将西西拉交在你手的日子. 耶和华岂不在你前头行吗? ”于是巴拉下了他泊山, 跟随他有一万人.

4:15 And Yahweh threw Sisera and all his chariots and army into confusion before the edge of Barak’s sword; and Sisera dismounted from his chariot and fled on foot.
耶和华使西西拉和他一切车辆全军溃乱, 在巴拉面前被刀杀败; 西西拉下车步行逃跑.

4:16 But Barak pursued after the chariots and army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim, and all of Sisera’s army fell to the edge of the sword; no one was left.
巴拉追赶车辆,军队, 直到外邦人的夏罗设. 西西拉的全军都倒在刀下, 没有留下一人.

4:17 Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
只有西西拉步行逃跑, 到了基尼人希百之妻雅亿的帐棚, 因为夏琐王耶宾与基尼人希百家和好.

4:18 And Jael came out to meet Sisera, and she said to him, “Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me and do not be afraid.” So he turned aside into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
雅亿出来迎接西西拉, 对他说: “请我主进来, 不要惧怕”; 西西拉就进了她的帐棚. 雅亿用被将他遮盖.

4:19 And he said to her, “Please, give me a drink of water, because I am thirsty.” So she opened a skin vessel of milk and gave him a drink and covered him.
西西拉对雅亿说: “我渴了, 求你给我一点水喝. ”雅亿就打开皮袋, 给他奶子喝, 仍旧把他遮盖.

4:20 And he said to her, “Stand at the doorway of the tent, and if anyone comes and asks you, and says, ‘Is there anyone here?’ You must answer, ‘No.’ ”
西西拉又对雅亿说: “请你站在帐棚门口, 若有人来问你说: ‘有人在这里没有? ’你就说: ‘没有. ’”

4:21 But Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, took in her hand a tent peg and a hammer, and she went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; he was fast asleep since he was exhausted, and he died.
西西拉疲乏沉睡. 希百的妻雅亿取了帐棚的橛子, 手里拿着锤子, 轻悄悄地到他旁边, 将橛子从他鬓边钉进去, 钉入地里. 西西拉就死了.

4:22 And behold, Barak was pursuing Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him, and she said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And he came with her and saw that Sisera was lying dead with the peg in his temple.
巴拉追赶西西拉的时候, 雅亿出来迎接他说: “来吧, 我将你所寻找的人给你看. ”他就进入帐棚, 看见西西拉已经死了, 倒在地上, 橛子还在他鬓中.

4:23 On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
这样, 神使迦南王耶宾被以色列人制伏了.

4:24 And the hand of the Israelites pressed harder and harder on Jabin king of Canaan, until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
从此以色列人的手越发有力, 胜了迦南王耶宾, 直到将他灭绝了.

Judges - Chapter 5

5:1 And Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang on that day:
那时, 底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉作歌, 说:

5:2 “When long hair hangs loosely in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless Yahweh!
因为以色列中有军长率领, 百姓也甘心牺牲自己, 你们应当颂赞耶和华!

5:3 Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to Yahweh; I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
君王啊, 要听! 王子啊, 要侧耳而听! 我要向耶和华歌唱; 我要歌颂耶和华─以色列的神.

5:4 Yahweh, when you went down from Seir, when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water.
耶和华啊, 你从西珥出来, 由以东地行走. 那时地震天漏, 云也落雨.

5:5 The mountains trembled before Yahweh, this Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
山见耶和华的面就震动, 西奈山见耶和华─以色列神的面也是如此.

5:6 “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the caravans had ceased, the travelers, they kept to the byways.
在亚拿之子珊迦的时候, 又在雅亿的日子, 大道无人行走, 都是绕道而行.

5:7 The warriors ceased; they failed to appear in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose; I arose as a mother in Israel.
以色列中的官长停职, 直到我底波拉兴起, 等我兴起作以色列的母.

5:8 God chose new leaders, then war was at the gates; a small shield or a spear was not seen among forty thousand in Israel.
以色列人选择新神, 争战的事就临到城门. 那时, 以色列四万人中岂能见盾牌枪矛呢?

5:9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, those offering themselves willingly among the people; bless Yahweh!
我心倾向以色列的首领, 他们在民中甘心牺牲自己. 你们应当颂赞耶和华!

5:10 The riders of white female donkeys, those sitting on saddle blankets, and those going on the way, talk about it!
骑白驴的,坐绣花毯子的,行路的, 你们都当传扬!

5:11 At the sound of those dividing the sheep among the watering places, there they will recount the righteous deeds of Yahweh, the righteous deeds for his warriors in Israel. Then the people of Yahweh went down to the gates.
在远离弓箭响声打水之处, 人必述说耶和华公义的作为, 就是他治理以色列公义的作为. 那时耶和华的民下到城门.

5:12 “Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.
底波拉啊, 兴起! 兴起! 你当兴起, 兴起, 唱歌. 亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊, 你当奋兴, 掳掠你的敌人.

5:13 Then the remnant went down to the nobles; the people of Yahweh went down for him against the mighty.
那时有余剩的贵冑和百姓一同下来; 耶和华降临, 为我攻击勇士.

5:14 From Ephraim is their root into Amalek, after you, Benjamin, with your family; from Makir the commanders went down, and from Zebulun those carrying the scepter of the military commander.
有根本在亚玛力人的地, 从以法莲下来的; 便雅悯在民中跟随你. 有掌权的从玛吉下来; 有持杖检点民数的从西布伦下来;

5:15 And the chiefs in Issachar were with Deborah; and Issachar likewise was with Barak; into the valley he was sent to get him from behind. Among the clans of Reuben were great decisions of the heart.
以萨迦的首领与底波拉同来; 以萨迦怎样, 巴拉也怎样. 众人都跟随巴拉冲下平原; 在流便的溪水旁有心中定大志的.

5:16 Why do you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the calling sounds of the herds? For the clans of Reuben, there were great searchings of the heart.
你为何坐在羊圈内听群中吹笛的声音呢? 在流便的溪水旁有心中设大谋的.

5:17 Gilead has remained beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan dwell as a foreigner with ships? Asher sat at the coast of the waters, and by his coves he has been settling down.
基列人安居在约旦河外. 但人为何等在船上? 亚设人在海口静坐, 在港口安居.

5:18 Zebulun is a people who scorned death, and Naphtali, on the heights of the field.
西布伦人是拼命敢死的; 拿弗他利人在田野的高处也是如此.

5:19 “The kings came, they fought; then the kings of Canaan fought; at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, they got no plunder in silver.
君王都来争战. 那时迦南诸王在米吉多水旁的他纳争战, 却未得掳掠银钱.

5:20 The stars fought from heaven; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
星宿从天上争战, 从其轨道攻击西西拉.

5:21 The wadi torrent of Kishon swept them away, the raging wadi torrent, the wadi torrent of Kishon. March on, my soul, with strength!
基顺古河把敌人冲没; 我的灵啊, 应当努力前行.

5:22 “Then the hooves of the horse beat loudly, because of galloping, galloping of his stallions.
那时壮马驰驱, 踢跳, 奔腾.

5:23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of Yahweh; ‘curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh against the mighty.’
耶和华的使者说: 应当咒诅米罗斯, 大大咒诅其中的居民; 因为他们不来帮助耶和华, 不来帮助耶和华攻击勇士.

5:24 “Most blessed of women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; most blessed is she of women among tent dwellers.
愿基尼人希百的妻雅亿比众妇人多得福气, 比住帐棚的妇人更蒙福祉.

5:25 He asked for water, and she gave milk; in a drinking bowl for nobles, she brought curds.
西西拉求水, 雅亿给他奶子, 用宝贵的盘子给他奶油.

5:26 She reached out her hand to the peg, and her right hand for the workman’s hammer; and she struck Sisera, crushed his head, and she shattered and pierced his temple.
雅亿左手拿着帐棚的橛子, 右手拿着匠人的锤子, 击打西西拉, 打伤他的头, 把他的鬓角打破穿通.

5:27 Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay. Between her feet he sank down, he fell; Where he sank down, there he fell—dead.
西西拉在她脚前曲身仆倒, 在她脚前曲身倒卧; 在那里曲身, 就在那里死亡.

5:28 “Through the window she looked down; the mother of Sisera cried out through the lattice, ‘Why is his chariot delayed in coming? Why do the hoof beats of his chariot tarry?’
西西拉的母亲从窗户里往外观看, 从窗櫺中呼叫说: 他的战车为何耽延不来呢? 他的车轮为何行得慢呢?

5:29 The wisest of her ladies answer her; she also answers the question herself:
聪明的宫女安慰她(原文是回答她), 她也自言自语地说:

5:30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the plunder? A bedmate or two bedmates for every man; colorful garments for Sisera, plunder of colorful garments, beautifully finished colorful garments, on the neck of the plunderer?’
他们莫非得财而分? 每人得了一两个女子? 西西拉得了彩衣为掳物, 得绣花的彩衣为掠物. 这彩衣两面绣花, 乃是披在被掳之人颈项上的.

5:31 So may all your enemies perish, O Yahweh, but those who love him are like the rising sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
耶和华啊, 愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡! 愿爱你的人如日头出现, 光辉烈烈! 这样, 国中太平四十年.

Judges - Chapter 6

6:1 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh gave them into the hand of the Midianites for seven years.
以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 耶和华就把他们交在米甸人手里七年.

6:2 The hand of the Midianites prevailed over Israel; because of the presence of the Midianites, the Israelites made for themselves hiding places that were in the mountains, caves, and strongholds.
米甸人压制以色列人; 以色列人因为米甸人, 就在山中挖穴,挖洞,建造营寨.

6:3 And whenever Israel sowed seed, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east would come up against them.
以色列人每逢撒种之后, 米甸人,亚玛力人, 和东方人都上来攻打他们,

6:4 They would camp against them and destroy the produce of the land as far as Gaza; they left no produce in Israel, or sheep, ox, or donkey.
对着他们安营, 毁坏土产, 直到迦萨, 没有给以色列人留下食物, 牛,羊,驴也没有留下;

6:5 For they, their livestock, and their tents would come up like a great number of locusts; they and their camels could not be counted; they came into the land and devoured it.
因为那些人带着牲畜帐棚来, 像蝗虫那样多, 人和骆驼无数, 都进入国内, 毁坏全地.

6:6 Israel was very poor because of the presence of the Midianites, and the Israelites cried out to Yahweh.
以色列人因米甸人的缘故, 极其穷乏, 就呼求耶和华.

6:7 When the Israelites cried out to Yahweh on account of the Midianites,
以色列人因米甸人的缘故, 呼求耶和华,

6:8 Yahweh sent a prophet to the Israelites, and he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt; I brought you from the house of slavery.
耶和华就差遣先知到以色列人那里, 对他们说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘我曾领你们从埃及上来, 出了为奴之家,

6:9 I delivered you from the hand of Egypt and from the hand of all your oppressors, and drove them out from before you; and I gave you their land.
救你们脱离埃及人的手, 并脱离一切欺压你们之人的手, 把他们从你们面前赶出, 将他们的地赐给你们’;

6:10 And I said to you, ‘I am Yahweh your God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.’ But you have not listened to my voice.”
又对你们说: ‘我是耶和华─你们的神. 你们住在亚摩利人的地, 不可敬畏他们的神. 你们竟不听从我的话. ’”

6:11 The angel of Yahweh came and sat under the oak that was at Ophrah that belonged to Jehoash the Abiezrite; and Gideon his son was threshing wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
耶和华的使者到了俄弗拉, 坐在亚比以谢族人约阿施的橡树下. 约阿施的儿子基甸正在酒醡那里打麦子, 为要防备米甸人.

6:12 The angel of Yahweh appeared to him and said to him, “Yahweh is with you, you mighty warrior.”
耶和华的使者向基甸显现, 对他说: “大能的勇士啊, 耶和华与你同在! ”

6:13 Gideon said to him, “Excuse me, my lord. If Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonderful deeds that our ancestors recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?’ But now Yahweh has forsaken us; he has given us into the palm of Midian.”
基甸说: “主啊, 耶和华若与我们同在, 我们何致遭遇这一切事呢? 我们的列祖不是向我们说‘耶和华领我们从埃及上来’吗? 他那样奇妙的作为在哪里呢? 现在他却丢弃我们, 将我们交在米甸人手里. ”

6:14 And Yahweh turned to him and said, “Go in this your strength, and you will deliver Israel from the palm of Midian. Did I not send you?”
耶和华观看基甸, 说: “你靠着你这能力去从米甸人手里拯救以色列人, 不是我差遣你去的吗? ”

6:15 He said to him, “Excuse me, my lord. How will I deliver Israel? Look, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.”
基甸说: “主啊, 我有何能拯救以色列人呢? 我家在玛拿西支派中是至贫穷的. 我在我父家是至微小的. ”

6:16 And Yahweh said to him, “But I will be with you, and you will defeat Midian as if they are one man.”
耶和华对他说: “我与你同在, 你就必击打米甸人, 如击打一人一样. ”

6:17 And he said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, show me a sign that you are speaking with me.
基甸说: “我若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你给我一个证据, 使我知道与我说话的就是主.

6:18 Please, do not depart from here until I come back to you and bring out my gift and set it out before you.” And he said, “I will stay until you return.”
求你不要离开这里, 等我归回将礼物带来供在你面前. ”主说: “我必等你回来. ”

6:19 And Gideon went and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; he put meat in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and he brought them to him under the oak and presented them.
基甸去预备了一只山羊羔, 用一伊法细面做了无酵饼, 将肉放在筐内, 把汤盛在壶中, 带到橡树下, 献在使者面前.

6:20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes and put them on this rock; pour the broth over it.” And he did so.
神的使者吩咐基甸说: “将肉和无酵饼放在这磐石上, 把汤倒出来. ”他就这样行了.

6:21 Then the angel of Yahweh reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and he touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and fire went up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of Yahweh went from his sight.
耶和华的使者伸出手内的杖, 杖头挨了肉和无酵饼, 就有火从磐石中出来, 烧尽了肉和无酵饼. 耶和华的使者也就不见了.

6:22 And Gideon realized that he was the angel of Yahweh; and Gideon said, “Oh, my lord Yahweh! For now I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face.”
基甸见他是耶和华的使者, 就说: “哀哉! 主耶和华啊, 我不好了, 因为我觌面看见耶和华的使者. ”

6:23 And Yahweh said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not fear; you will not die.”
耶和华对他说: “你放心, 不要惧怕, 你必不致死. ”

6:24 And Gideon built there an altar to Yahweh, and he called it “Yahweh is peace.” To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
于是基甸在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛, 起名叫“耶和华沙龙”(就是耶和华赐平安的意思). (这坛在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉直到如今. )

6:25 Now on that same night Yahweh said to him, “Take the bull of the cattle that belongs to your father, and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;
当那夜, 耶和华吩咐基甸说: “你取你父亲的牛来, 就是(或译: 和)那七岁的第二只牛, 并拆毁你父亲为巴力所筑的坛, 砍下坛旁的木偶,

6:26 and build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this stronghold in the proper arrangement, and take a second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you will cut down.
在这磐石(原文是保障)上整整齐齐地为耶和华─你的神筑一座坛, 将第二只牛献为燔祭, 用你所砍下的木偶作柴. ”

6:27 Gideon took ten men from his servants, and he did just as Yahweh told him; and because he was too afraid of his father’s family and the men of the city to do it during the day, he did it during night.
基甸就从他仆人中挑了十个人, 照着耶和华吩咐他的行了. 他因怕父家和本城的人, 不敢在白昼行这事, 就在夜间行了.

6:28 When the men of the city got up early in the morning, look, the altar of Baal and the Asherah that was beside it were cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar that had been built.
城里的人清早起来, 见巴力的坛拆毁, 坛旁的木偶砍下, 第二只牛献在新筑的坛上,

6:29 And they said to one another, “Who did this thing?” So they searched and inquired, and they said, “Gideon son of Jehoash did this thing.”
就彼此说: “这事是谁做的呢? ”他们访查之后, 就说: “这是约阿施的儿子基甸做的. ”

6:30 And the men of the city said to Jehoash, “Bring out your son so that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah that was beside it.”
城里的人对约阿施说: “将你儿子交出来, 好治死他; 因为他拆毁了巴力的坛, 砍下坛旁的木偶. ”

6:31 But Jehoash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Will you rescue him? Whoever contends for him will be put to death by the morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself because his altar has been pulled down.”
约阿施回答站着攻击他的众人说: “你们是为巴力争论吗? 你们要救他吗? 谁为他争论, 趁早将谁治死! 巴力若果是神, 有人拆毁他的坛, 让他为自己争论吧! ”

6:32 Thus, on that day he was called Jerub-Baal, which means, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he had pulled down his altar.
所以当日人称基甸为耶路‧巴力, 意思说: “他拆毁巴力的坛, 让巴力与他争论. ”

6:33 Then all the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east gathered together and crossed the Jordan; and they camped in the valley of Jezreel.
那时, 米甸人,亚玛力人, 和东方人都聚集过河, 在耶斯列平原安营.

6:34 So the Spirit of Yahweh took possession of Gideon, and he blew on the trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called to follow him.
耶和华的灵降在基甸身上, 他就吹角; 亚比以谢族都聚集跟随他.

6:35 He sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and they were also called to follow him; and he sent messengers throughout Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they went up to meet them.
他打发人走遍玛拿西地, 玛拿西人也聚集跟随他; 又打发人去见亚设人,西布伦人,拿弗他利人, 他们也都出来与他们会合.

6:36 Then Gideon said to God, “In order to see that you will deliver Israel by my hand, just as you have said,
基甸对神说: “你若果照着所说的话, 藉我手拯救以色列人,

6:37 I will place a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and all of the ground is dry, I will know that you will deliver Israel by my hand, just as you have said.”
我就把一团羊毛放在禾场上: 若单是羊毛上有露水, 别的地方都是干的, 我就知道你必照着所说的话, 藉我手拯救以色列人. ”

6:38 And it was so. He arose early the next day and squeezed the fleece, and he wrung out dew from the fleece, a full drinking bowl of water.
次日早晨基甸起来, 见果然是这样; 将羊毛挤一挤, 从羊毛中拧出满盆的露水来.

6:39 And Gideon said to God, “Do not let your anger burn against me; let me speak once more. Please let me test once more with the fleece; let the fleece be dry, and let there be dew on the ground.”
基甸又对神说: “求你不要向我发怒, 我再说这一次: 让我将羊毛再试一次. 但愿羊毛是干的, 别的地方都有露水. ”

6:40 And God did so that night; only the fleece was dry, and dew was on all the ground.
这夜神也如此行: 独羊毛上是干的, 别的地方都有露水.

Judges - Chapter 7

7:1 Then Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) rose early, and all the army that was with him. They were camped beside the spring of Harod; the camp of Midian was north of the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
耶路‧巴力就是基甸, 他和一切跟随的人早晨起来, 在哈律泉旁安营. 米甸营在他们北边的平原, 靠近摩利冈.

7:2 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “The troops that are with you are too many for me to give Midian into their hands; Israel will boast, saying, ‘My hand has delivered me.’
耶和华对基甸说: “跟随你的人过多, 我不能将米甸人交在他们手中, 免得以色列人向我夸大, 说: ‘是我们自己的手救了我们. ’

7:3 So then, please proclaim in the hearing of the troops, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from the Mount of Gilead.’ ” About twenty-two thousand troops returned, and ten thousand remained.
现在你要向这些人宣告说: ‘凡惧怕胆怯的, 可以离开基列山回去. ’”于是有二万二千人回去, 只剩下一万.

7:4 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “There are still too many troops; bring them down to the water, and I will sift through them for you there. For whomever I say to you, ‘This one will go with you,’ he will go with you; and for all whom I say to you, ‘This one will not go with you,’ he will not go.”
耶和华对基甸说: “人还是过多; 你要带他们下到水旁, 我好在那里为你试试他们. 我指点谁说: ‘这人可以同你去’, 他就可以同你去; 我指点谁说: ‘这人不可同你去’, 他就不可同你去. ”

7:5 So he brought down the troops to the water, and Yahweh said to Gideon, “You must separate everyone who laps up the water to drink with his tongue like a dog from those who kneel.”
基甸就带他们下到水旁. 耶和华对基甸说: “凡用舌头舔水, 像狗舔的, 要使他单站在一处; 凡跪下喝水的, 也要使他单站在一处. ”

7:6 The number of those lapping up the water with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; all the rest of the troops kneeled to drink the water.
于是用手捧著舔水的有三百人, 其余的都跪下喝水.

7:7 And Yahweh said to Gideon, “I will deliver you with the three hundred men lapping up the water; I will give Midian into your hand, so let the other troops go, each to his own place.
耶和华对基甸说: “我要用这舔水的三百人拯救你们, 将米甸人交在你手中; 其余的人都可以各归各处去. ”

7:8 So they took their provisions and their trumpets into their hand, and he sent all the men of Israel, each one, to his tent; but three hundred of the men he kept; the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
这三百人就带着食物和角; 其余的以色列人, 基甸都打发他们各归各的帐棚, 只留下这三百人. 米甸营在他下边的平原里.

7:9 And that night Yahweh said to him, “Get up; go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand.
当那夜, 耶和华吩咐基甸说: “起来, 下到米甸营里去, 因我已将他们交在你手中.

7:10 But if you are afraid, go down to the camp with Purah your servant,
倘若你怕下去, 就带你的仆人普拉下到那营里去.

7:11 and you will hear what they say; and afterward you will have courage, and you will go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men that were in the camp.
你必听见他们所说的, 然后你就有胆量下去攻营. ”于是基甸带着仆人普拉下到营旁.

7:12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and all the people of the east were lying in the valley, like a great multitude of locusts; their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand that is on the shore of the sea.
米甸人,亚玛力人, 和一切东方人都布散在平原, 如同蝗虫那样多. 他们的骆驼无数, 多如海边的沙.

7:13 When Gideon came, a man was recounting a dream to his friend, and he said, “Behold, I had a dream; a round loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came up to the tent, it struck it, and it fell and turned it upside down so that the tent fell.”
基甸到了, 就听见一人将梦告诉同伴说: “我做了一梦, 梦见一个大麦饼滚入米甸营中, 到了帐幕, 将帐幕撞倒, 帐幕就翻转倾覆了. ”

7:14 His friend answered him and said, “This cannot be anything except the sword of Gideon son of Jehoash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and the entire camp into his hand.”
那同伴说: “这不是别的, 乃是以色列人约阿施的儿子基甸的刀; 神已将米甸和全军都交在他的手中. ”

7:15 When Gideon heard the recounting of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed down and returned to the camp of Israel; and he said, “Get up, for Yahweh has given the camp of Midian into your hand.”
基甸听见这梦和梦的讲解, 就敬拜神, 回到以色列营中, 说: “起来吧! 耶和华已将米甸的军队交在你们手中了. ”

7:16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty jars in everyone’s hand, with torches inside the jars.
于是基甸将三百人分作三队, 把角和空瓶交在各人手里(瓶内都藏着火把),

7:17 And he said to them, “Watch me and do the same. When I come to the edge of the camp, do just as I do.
吩咐他们说: “你们要看我行事: 我到了营的旁边怎样行, 你们也要怎样行.

7:18 When I and all who are with me blow on the trumpet, you must also blow on the trumpets and surround the camp, and you must say, ‘To Yahweh and to Gideon!’ ”
我和一切跟随我的人吹角的时候, 你们也要在营的四围吹角, 喊叫说: ‘耶和华和基甸的刀! ’”

7:19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle night-watch, when they had just finished setting up the guards, and they blew on the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.
基甸和跟随他的一百人, 在三更之初才换更的时候, 来到营旁, 就吹角, 打破手中的瓶.

7:20 When three companies blew on the trumpets and broke the jars, they held in their left hand the torches and in their right hand the trumpets for blowing, and they cried, “A sword for Yahweh and for Gideon!”
三队的人就都吹角, 打破瓶子, 左手拿着火把, 右手拿着角, 喊叫说: “耶和华和基甸的刀! ”

7:21 And each stood in his place all around the camp, and all the camp ran, and they cried out as they fled.
他们在营的四围各站各的地方; 全营的人都乱窜. 三百人呐喊, 使他们逃跑.

7:22 When they blew the three hundred trumpets, Yahweh set the sword of each one against his neighbor throughout the whole camp, and the camp fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, up to Abel Meholah, the border by Tabbath.
三百人就吹角, 耶和华使全营的人用刀互相击杀, 逃到西利拉的伯‧哈示他, 直逃到靠近他巴的亚伯‧米何拉.

7:23 And the men of Israel were called from Naphtali, from Asher, and from all of Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.
以色列人就从拿弗他利,亚设, 和玛拿西全地聚集来追赶米甸人.

7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down to oppose Midian, and capture from them the waters up to Beth Barah and the Jordan.” He called out all the men of Ephraim, and they captured the waters up to Beth Barah and the Jordan.
基甸打发人走遍以法莲山地, 说: “你们下来攻击米甸人, 争先把守约旦河的渡口, 直到伯‧巴拉. ”于是以法莲的众人聚集, 把守约旦河的渡口, 直到伯‧巴拉,

7:25 And they captured the two commanders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they chased Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from beyond the Jordan.
捉住了米甸人的两个首领: 一名俄立, 一名西伊伯; 将俄立杀在俄立磐石上, 将西伊伯杀在西伊伯酒醡那里; 又追赶米甸人, 将俄立和西伊伯的首级带过约旦河, 到基甸那里.

Judges - Chapter 8

8:1 The men of Ephraim said to him, “What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against the Midianites?” And they quarreled with him severely.
以法莲人对基甸说: “你去与米甸人争战, 没有招我们同去, 为甚么这样待我们呢? ”他们就与基甸大大地争吵.

8:2 And he said to them, “What I have done now in comparison with you? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the grape harvest of Abiezer?
基甸对他们说: “我所行的岂能比你们所行的呢? 以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄不强过亚比以谢所摘的葡萄吗?

8:3 God has given into your hand the commanders of Midian, Oreb, and Zeeb. What have I been able to do in comparison with you?” And their anger against him subsided when he said that.
神已将米甸人的两个首领俄立和西伊伯交在你们手中; 我所行的岂能比你们所行的呢? ”基甸说了这话, 以法莲人的怒气就消了.

8:4 Then Gideon came to the Jordan, crossing it with the three hundred men who were with him, weary and pursuing.
基甸和跟随他的三百人到约旦河过渡, 虽然疲乏, 还是追赶.

8:5 He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
基甸对疏割人说: “求你们拿饼来给跟随我的人吃, 因为他们疲乏了; 我们追赶米甸人的两个王西巴和撒慕拿. ”

8:6 The officials of Succoth said, “Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna in your hand now, that we should give bread to your army?”
疏割人的首领回答说: “西巴和撒慕拿已经在你手里, 你使我们将饼给你的军兵吗? ”

8:7 Gideon said, “Well then, when Yahweh gives Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will trample your flesh with the thorns and briers of the wilderness.”
基甸说: “耶和华将西巴和撒慕拿交在我手之后, 我就用野地的荆条和枳棘打伤你们. ”

8:8 He went from there to Penuel, and he spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth answered.
基甸从那里上到毘努伊勒, 对那里的人也是这样说; 毘努伊勒人也与疏割人回答他的话一样.

8:9 And he said also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I return safely, I will tear down this tower.”
他向毘努伊勒人说: “我平平安安回来的时候, 我必拆毁这楼. ”

8:10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men remained from the entire army of the people of the east; those that fell in battle were one hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen.
那时西巴和撒慕拿, 并跟随他们的军队都在加各, 约有一万五千人, 就是东方人全军所剩下的; 已经被杀约有十二万拿刀的.

8:11 And Gideon went up the route of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked the army when it was off its guard.
基甸就由挪巴和约比哈东边, 从住帐棚人的路上去, 杀败了米甸人的军兵, 因为他们坦然无惧.

8:12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them and captured the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he routed the entire army.
西巴和撒慕拿逃跑; 基甸追赶他们, 捉住米甸的二王西巴和撒慕拿, 惊散全军.

8:13 Then Gideon son of Jehoash returned from the battle by way of the ascent of Heres.
约阿施的儿子基甸由希列斯坡从阵上回来,

8:14 He captured a young man from Succoth and questioned him. The young man listed for him the commanders of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men.
捉住疏割的一个少年人, 问他: “疏割的首领长老是谁? ”他就将首领长老七十七个人的名字写出来.

8:15 He came to the men of Succoth, and he said, “Here is Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Is the palm of Zebah and Zalmunna in your hand now, that we should give food to your weary men?’ ”
基甸到了疏割, 对那里的人说: “你们从前讥诮我说: ‘西巴和撒慕拿已经在你手里, 你使我们将饼给跟随你的疲乏人吗? ’现在西巴和撒慕拿在这里. ”

8:16 He took the elders of the city and the thorn bushes and briers of the wilderness, and he trampled the men of Succoth with them.
于是捉住那城内的长老, 用野地的荆条和枳棘责打(原文是指教)疏割人;

8:17 He broke down the tower of Penuel, and he killed the men of the city.
又拆了毘努伊勒的楼, 杀了那城里的人.

8:18 And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What type were the men whom you killed at Tabor?” And they said, “They were like you; each one of them had the appearance of the sons of the king.”
基甸问西巴和撒慕拿说: “你们在他泊山所杀的人是甚么样式? ”回答说: “他们好像你, 各人都有王子的样式. ”

8:19 He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As Yahweh lives, if you had kept them alive I would not kill you.”
基甸说: “他们是我同母的弟兄, 我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 你们从前若存留他们的性命, 我如今就不杀你们了. ”

8:20 And he said to Jether, his firstborn, “Get up, kill them.” But the boy did not draw his sword, for he was afraid because he was still a boy.
于是对他的长子益帖说: “你起来杀他们. ”但益帖因为是童子, 害怕, 不敢拔刀.

8:21 Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Get up yourself, and strike us, for as is the man, so is his power.” So Gideon got up and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
西巴和撒慕拿说: “你自己起来杀我们吧! 因为人如何, 力量也是如何. ”基甸就起来, 杀了西巴和撒慕拿, 夺获他们骆驼项上戴的月牙圈.

8:22 The men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and your sons, and your sons’ son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.
以色列人对基甸说: “你既救我们脱离米甸人的手, 愿你和你的儿孙管理我们. ”

8:23 But Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; Yahweh will rule over you.”
基甸说: “我不管理你们, 我的儿子也不管理你们, 惟有耶和华管理你们. ”

8:24 And Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you, that each of you give to me an ornamental ring from his plunder.” (They had ornamental rings of gold, because they were Ishmaelites.)
基甸又对他们说: “我有一件事求你们: 请你们各人将所夺的耳环给我. ”(原来仇敌是以实玛利人, 都是戴金耳环的. )

8:25 They said, “We will gladly give them,” and they spread out a garment, and everyone threw there an ornamental ring of his plunder.
他们说: “我们情愿给你”, 就铺开一件外衣, 各人将所夺的耳环丢在其上.

8:26 The weight of the ornamental rings of gold that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, apart from the crescents, pendants, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and apart from the pendants that were on the necks of their camels.
基甸所要出来的金耳环重一千七百舍客勒金子. 此外还有米甸王所戴的月环,耳坠, 和所穿的紫色衣服, 并骆驼项上的金链子.

8:27 Gideon made an ephod out of it, and he put it in his town in Ophrah, and all Israel prostituted themselves to it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.
基甸以此制造了一个以弗得, 设立在本城俄弗拉. 后来以色列人拜那以弗得行了邪淫; 这就作了基甸和他全家的网罗.

8:28 And Midian was subdued before the Israelites, and they did not again lift up their head, and the land rested for forty years in the days of Gideon.
这样, 米甸人被以色列人制伏了, 不敢再抬头. 基甸还在的日子, 国中太平四十年.

8:29 Jerub-Baal son of Joash lived in his own house.
约阿施的儿子耶路‧巴力回去, 住在自己家里.

8:30 Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives.
基甸有七十个亲生的儿子, 因为他有许多的妻.

8:31 His concubine who was in Shechem also bore for him a son, and he named him Abimelech.
他的妾住在示剑, 也给他生了一个儿子. 基甸与他起名叫亚比米勒.

8:32 And Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age, and he was buried in the tomb of Jehoash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
约阿施的儿子基甸, 年纪老迈而死, 葬在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉, 在他父亲约阿施的坟墓里.

8:33 And it happened, as soon as Gideon died, the Israelites returned and prostituted themselves after the Baals, and they made for themselves Baal-Berith as god.
基甸死后, 以色列人又去随从诸巴力行邪淫, 以巴力‧比利土为他们的神.

8:34 The Israelites did not remember Yahweh their God, who had delivered them from the hand of their enemies from all around,
以色列人不记念耶和华─他们的神, 就是拯救他们脱离四围仇敌之手的,

8:35 nor did they show favor to the house of Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) in accordance with all the good that he did for Israel.
也不照着耶路‧巴力, 就是基甸向他们所施的恩惠厚待他的家.

Judges - Chapter 9

9:1 And Abimelech son of Jerub-Baal went to Shechem, to the relatives of his mother, and he said to them and to the house of his mother’s father,
耶路‧巴力的儿子亚比米勒到了示剑见他的众母舅, 对他们和他外祖全家的人说:

9:2 “Speak to the lords of Shechem, ‘What is better for you, that seventy men all from the sons of Jerub-Baal rule over you, or that one man rules over you?’ Remember that I am your bone and your flesh.”
“请你们问示剑的众人说, 是耶路‧巴力的众子七十人都管理你们好呢? 还是一人管理你们好呢? 你们又要记念我是你们的骨肉. ”

9:3 And his mother’s relatives spoke all these words concerning him to all the lords of Shechem; and they supported Abimelech, for they said, “He is our relative.”
他的众母舅便将这一切话为他说给示剑人听, 示剑人的心就归向亚比米勒. 他们说: “他原是我们的弟兄”;

9:4 And they gave to him seventy pieces of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hired with them worthless and reckless men, and they followed him.
就从巴力‧比利土的庙中取了七十舍客勒银子给亚比米勒; 亚比米勒用以雇了些匪徒跟随他.

9:5 And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and he killed his brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerub-Baal survived, because he hid himself.
他往俄弗拉到他父亲的家, 将他弟兄,耶路‧巴力的众子七十人都杀在一块磐石上; 只剩下耶路‧巴力的小儿子约坦, 因为他躲藏了.

9:6 All the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo gathered, and they went and made Abimelech as king, near the oak of the pillar that is at Shechem.
示剑人和米罗人都一同聚集, 往示剑橡树旁的柱子那里, 立亚比米勒为王.

9:7 And they told Jotham, and he went up and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and he cried out loud and said to them, “Listen to me, lords of Shechem, so that God may listen to you.
有人将这事告诉约坦, 他就去站在基利心山顶上, 向众人大声喊叫说: “示剑人哪, 你们要听我的话, 神也就听你们的话.

9:8 “The trees went certainly, to anoint a king over themselves. And they said to the olive tree, ‘Rule over us.’
有一时, 树木要膏一树为王, 管理他们, 就去对橄榄树说: ‘请你作我们的王. ’

9:9 And the olive tree replied, ‘Should I stop producing my oil, which by me gods and men are honored, to go sway over the trees?’
橄榄树回答说: ‘我岂肯止住供奉神和尊重人的油, 飘飖在众树之上呢? ’

9:10 Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You, come rule over us.’
树木对无花果树说: ‘请你来作我们的王. ’

9:11 But the fig tree said to them, ‘Should I stop producing my sweetness, and my good crop, to go sway over the trees?’
无花果树回答说: ‘我岂肯止住所结甜美的果子, 飘飖在众树之上呢? ’

9:12 And the trees said to the vine, ‘You, come rule over us.’
树木对葡萄树说: ‘请你来作我们的王. ’

9:13 But the vine said to them, ‘Should I stop producing my wine that makes the gods and men happy, to go sway over the trees?’
葡萄树回答说: ‘我岂肯止住使神和人喜乐的新酒, 飘飖在众树之上呢. ’

9:14 So all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘You, come rule over us.’
众树对荆棘说: ‘请你来作我们的王. ’

9:15 And the thornbush said to the trees, ‘If in good faith you are anointing me as king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; if not, may fire go out from the thornbush and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’
荆棘回答说: ‘你们若诚诚实实地膏我为王, 就要投在我的荫下; 不然, 愿火从荆棘里出来, 烧灭黎巴嫩的香柏树. ’

9:16 “So then, if you have acted in good faith and sincerity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerub-Baal and his house, and have dealt with him according to his accomplishments—
“现在你们立亚比米勒为王, 若按诚实正直善待耶路‧巴力和他的全家, 这就是酬他的劳.

9:17 for my father fought and risked his life for you and delivered you from the hand of Midian;
从前我父冒死为你们争战, 救了你们脱离米甸人的手.

9:18 but today you have risen against the house of my father and killed his sons, seventy men on one stone, and you have made Abimelech, the son of his slave woman, a king over the lords of Shechem, because he is your relative—
你们如今起来攻击我的父家, 将他众子七十人杀在一块磐石上, 又立他婢女所生的儿子亚比米勒为示剑人的王; 他原是你们的弟兄.

9:19 if you have acted in good faith and sincerity with Jerub-Baal and his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.
你们如今若按诚实正直待耶路‧巴力和他的家, 就可因亚比米勒得欢乐, 他也可因你们得欢乐;

9:20 But if not, let a fire come out from Abimelech and let it devour the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo; and let a fire come out from the lords of Shechem, and from Beth-Millo, and let it devour Abimelech.”
不然, 愿火从亚比米勒发出, 烧灭示剑人和米罗众人, 又愿火从示剑人和米罗人中出来, 烧灭亚比米勒. ”

9:21 And Jotham escaped and fled, and went to Beer; he remained there because of Abimelech his brother.
约坦因怕他弟兄亚比米勒, 就逃跑, 来到比珥, 住在那里.

9:22 Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.
亚比米勒管理以色列人三年.

9:23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the lords of Shechem, and the lords of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
神使恶魔降在亚比米勒和示剑人中间, 示剑人就以诡诈待亚比米勒.

9:24 so that the violence done to the seventy brothers of Abimelech would be avenged and their blood be placed on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the lords of Shechem, who helped to kill his brothers.
这是要叫耶路‧巴力七十个儿子所受的残害归与他们的哥哥亚比米勒, 又叫那流他们血的罪归与帮助他杀弟兄的示剑人.

9:25 And the lords of Shechem set for him ambushes on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all who passed by them along the road; and it was reported to Abimelech.
示剑人在山顶上设埋伏, 等候亚比米勒. 凡从他们那里经过的人, 他们就抢夺. 有人将这事告诉亚比米勒.

9:26 And Gaal son of Ebel and his relatives came, and they crossed over into Shechem, and the lords of Shechem gave him confidence.
以别的儿子迦勒和他的弟兄来到示剑, 示剑人都信靠他.

9:27 They went out into the field and harvested their vineyards and trod them, and they held a festival. And they went into the temple of their god, and they ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.
示剑人出城到田间去, 摘下葡萄, 踹酒, 设摆筵宴, 进他们神的庙中吃喝, 咒诅亚比米勒.

9:28 Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who are we of Shechem that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerub-Baal, and is not Zebul his chief officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem. Why should we serve him?
以别的儿子迦勒说: “亚比米勒是谁? 示剑是谁? 使我们服事他呢? 他不是耶路‧巴力的儿子吗? 他的帮手不是西布勒吗? 你们可以服事示剑的父亲哈抹的后裔. 我们为何服事亚比米勒呢?

9:29 If only this people were in my command! Then I would remove Abimelech, and I would have said, ‘Increase your army and come out!’ ”
惟愿这民归我的手下, 我就除掉亚比米勒. ”迦勒又对亚比米勒说: “增添你的军兵出来吧. ”

9:30 When Zebul the commander of the city heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he became angry,
邑宰西布勒听见以别的儿子迦勒的话, 就发怒,

9:31 and he sent messengers to Abimelech in Tormah, saying, “Look, Gaal son of Ebed and his relatives are coming to Shechem, and they are stirring up the city against you.
悄悄地打发人去见亚比米勒, 说: “以别的儿子迦勒和他的弟兄到了示剑, 煽惑城中的民攻击你.

9:32 So then, get up by night, you and the army that is with you, and lie in ambush in the field.
现在你和跟随你的人今夜起来, 在田间埋伏.

9:33 And in the morning at sunrise, get up and rush the city; and look, when he and the troops who are with him come out to you, you must act according to whatever opportunity offers itself.
到早晨太阳一出, 你就起来闯城. 迦勒和跟随他的人出来攻击你的时候, 你便向他们见机而做. ”

9:34 So Abimelech and all the army that was with him got up by night, and they lay in ambush against Shechem in four divisions.
于是, 亚比米勒和跟随他的众人夜间起来, 分作四队, 埋伏等候示剑人.

9:35 Gaal son of Ebed went out and stood at the entrance of the city gate, and Abimelech and the army that was with him got up from the ambush.
以别的儿子迦勒出去, 站在城门口. 亚比米勒和跟随他的人从埋伏之处起来.

9:36 When Gaal saw the army, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from the top of the mountains!” And Zebul said to him, “The shadows of the mountains look like people to you.”
迦勒看见那些人, 就对西布勒说: “看哪, 有人从山顶上下来了. ”西布勒说: “你看见山的影子, 以为是人. ”

9:37 And Gaal spoke again and said, “Look, people are coming down from Tabbur-erez, and one division is coming from the direction of Elon-meonenim.”
迦勒又说: “看哪, 有人从高处下来, 又有一队从米恶尼尼橡树的路上而来. ”

9:38 And Zebul said to him, “Where then is your boast, you who said, ‘Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the army that you rejected? Please, go out now and fight against them.”
西布勒对他说: “你曾说, 亚比米勒是谁, 叫我们服事他? 你所夸的口在哪里呢? 这不是你所藐视的民吗? 你现在出去, 与他们交战吧! ”

9:39 So Gaal went out before the lords of Shechem and fought against Abimelech.
于是迦勒率领示剑人出去, 与亚比米勒交战.

9:40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; many fell slain up to the entrance of the gate.
亚比米勒追赶迦勒; 迦勒在他面前逃跑, 有许多受伤仆倒的, 直到城门.

9:41 So Abimelech resided at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives from living in Shechem.
亚比米勒住在亚鲁玛. 西布勒赶出迦勒和他弟兄, 不准他们住在示剑.

9:42 On the next day the people went out to the field; and it was reported to Abimelech,
次日, 民出到田间, 有人告诉亚比米勒;

9:43 so he took the army and divided them into three divisions, and he laid an ambush in the field. And he saw the people were coming out from the city, and he arose against them and killed them.
他就把他的人分作三队, 埋伏在田间, 看见示剑人从城里出来, 就起来击杀他们.

9:44 Then Abimelech and the divisions that were with him dashed out and stood at the entrance of the city gate, and the two divisions dashed out against all who were in the field, and they killed them.
亚比米勒和跟随他的一队向前闯去, 站在城门口; 那两队直闯到田间, 击杀了众人.

9:45 Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people that were in it; then he broke down the city and sowed it with salt.
亚比米勒整天攻打城, 将城夺取, 杀了其中的居民, 将城拆毁, 撒上了盐.

9:46 When all the lords of the tower of Shechem heard, they went to the vault of the temple of El-Berith.
示剑楼的人听见了, 就躲入巴力‧比利土庙的卫所.

9:47 It was told to Abimelech that all the lords of the tower of Shechem had gathered.
有人告诉亚比米勒说: “示剑楼的人都聚在一处. ”

9:48 So Abimelech went up Mount Zalmon, he and all his army that were with him, and Abimelech took the ax in his hand and cut down a bundle of brushwood, and he lifted it and put it on his shoulder. And he said to the army that was with him, “What you have seen me do, quickly do also.”
亚比米勒和跟随他的人就都上撒们山. 亚比米勒手拿斧子, 砍下一根树枝, 扛在肩上, 对跟随他的人说: “你们看我所行的, 也当赶紧照样行. ”

9:49 So the whole army cut down each one branch for himself and followed Abimelech, and they put them against the vault and set the vault ablaze with fire on those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.
众人就各砍一枝, 跟随亚比米勒, 把树枝堆在卫所的四围, 放火烧了卫所, 以致示剑楼的人都死了, 男女约有一千.

9:50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he encamped against Thebez and captured it.
亚比米勒到提备斯, 向提备斯安营, 就攻取了那城.

9:51 But there was a strong tower in the middle of the city, and all the men, women, and lords of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up to the roof of the tower.
城中有一座坚固的楼; 城里的众人, 无论男女, 都逃进楼去, 关上门, 上了楼顶.

9:52 Abimelech came up to the tower and fought against it, and he came near the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
亚比米勒到了楼前攻打, 挨近楼门, 要用火焚烧.

9:53 But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and cracked open his skull.
有一个妇人把一块上磨石抛在亚比米勒的头上, 打破了他的脑骨.

9:54 He called quickly to the young man carrying his weapons, and he said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that they will not say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ ” So the young man stabbed him, and he died.
他就急忙喊叫拿他兵器的少年人, 对他说: “拔出你的刀来, 杀了我吧! 免得人议论我说, 他为一个妇人所杀. ”于是少年人把他刺透, 他就死了.

9:55 When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, each one went to his home.
以色列人见亚比米勒死了, 便各回自己的地方去了.

9:56 So God repaid the wickedness that Abimelech committed against his father by killing his seventy brothers.
这样, 神报应亚比米勒向他父亲所行的恶, 就是杀了弟兄七十个人的恶.

9:57 And God also repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham son of Jerub-Baal fell on them.
示剑人的一切恶, 神也都报应在他们头上; 耶路‧巴力的儿子约坦的咒诅归到他们身上了.

Judges - Chapter 10

10:1 After Abimelech, Tola son of Puah son of Dod, a man of Issachar, rose up to deliver Israel; and he was living at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
亚比米勒以后, 有以萨迦人朵多的孙子,普瓦的儿子陀拉兴起, 拯救以色列人. 他住在以法莲山地的沙密.

10:2 And he judged Israel twenty-three years. And he died and was buried in Shamir.
陀拉作以色列的士师二十三年, 就死了, 葬在沙密.

10:3 After him Jair the Gileadite rose up, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
在他以后有基列人睚珥兴起, 作以色列的士师二十二年.

10:4 And he had thirty sons who would ride on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns that are in the land of Gilead that they called Havvoth Jair until this day.
他有三十个儿子, 骑著三十匹驴驹. 他们有三十座城邑, 叫作哈倭特‧睚珥, 直到如今, 都是在基列地.

10:5 And Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
睚珥死了, 就葬在加们.

10:6 And again, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. They served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines; they abandoned Yahweh and did not serve him.
以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 去事奉诸巴力和亚斯她录, 并亚兰的神,西顿的神,摩押的神,亚扪人的神,非利士人的神, 离弃耶和华, 不事奉他.

10:7 And the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and the Ammonites.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 就把他们交在非利士人和亚扪人的手中.

10:8 They crushed and oppressed the Israelites in that year; for eighteen years they crushed all the Israelites who were beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
从那年起, 他们扰害欺压约旦河那边,住亚摩利人之基列地的以色列人, 共有十八年.

10:9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was very distressed.
亚扪人又渡过约旦河去攻打犹大和便雅悯, 并以法莲族. 以色列人就甚觉窘迫.

10:10 Then the Israelites cried out to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you; we have abandoned our God and served the Baals.”
以色列人哀求耶和华说: “我们得罪了你; 因为离弃了我们神, 去事奉诸巴力. ”

10:11 And Yahweh said to the Israelites, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, from the Ammonites, and from the Philistines?
耶和华对以色列人说: “我岂没有救过你们脱离埃及人,亚摩利人,亚扪人, 和非利士人吗?

10:12 And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to me, and I delivered you from their hand.
西顿人,亚玛力人,马云人也都欺压你们; 你们哀求我, 我也拯救你们脱离他们的手.

10:13 Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer deliver you.
你们竟离弃我, 事奉别神! 所以我不再救你们了.

10:14 Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your trouble.”
你们去哀求所选择的神; 你们遭遇急难的时候, 让他救你们吧! ”

10:15 And the Israelites said to Yahweh, “We have sinned; do to us accordingly as you see fit; only please deliver us this day.”
以色列人对耶和华说: “我们犯罪了, 任凭你随意待我们吧! 只求你今日拯救我们. ”

10:16 So they removed the foreign gods from their midst and served Yahweh; and he could no longer bear the misery of Israel.
以色列人就除掉他们中间的外邦神, 事奉耶和华. 耶和华因以色列人受的苦难, 就心中担忧.

10:17 And the Ammonites were summoned, and they camped in Gilead. And the Israelites gathered and camped at Mizpah.
当时亚扪人聚集, 安营在基列. 以色列人也聚集, 安营在米斯巴.

10:18 The people, the ones commanding Gilead, said to each other, “Who is the man that will begin to fight against the Ammonites? He will be as head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
基列的民和众首领彼此商议说: “谁能先去攻打亚扪人, 谁必作基列一切居民的领袖. ”

Judges - Chapter 11

11:1 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior; he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead was his father.
基列人耶弗他是个大能的勇士, 是妓女的儿子. 耶弗他是基列所生的.

11:2 Gilead’s wife also bore for him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up and drove Jephthah away, and they said to him, “You will not inherit the house of our father because you are the son of another woman.”
基列的妻也生了几个儿子: 他妻所生的儿子长大了, 就赶逐耶弗他, 说: “你不可在我们父家承受产业, 因为你是妓女的儿子. ”

11:3 So Jephthah fled from the presence of his brothers, and he lived in the land of Tob. And outlaws gathered around Jephthah and went with him.
耶弗他就逃避他的弟兄, 去住在陀伯地, 有些匪徒到他那里聚集, 与他一同出入.

11:4 After a time the Ammonites made war with Israel.
过了些日子, 亚扪人攻打以色列.

11:5 When the Ammonites made war with Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob.
亚扪人攻打以色列的时候, 基列的长老到陀伯地去, 要叫耶弗他回来;

11:6 And they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our commander, so that we may make war against the Ammonites.”
对耶弗他说: “请你来作我们的元帅, 我们好与亚扪人争战. ”

11:7 Jephthah said to the elders, “Did you not shun me and drive me out from the house of my father? Why do you come to me now when you have trouble?”
耶弗他回答基列的长老说: “从前你们不是恨我,赶逐我出离父家吗? 现在你们遭遇急难为何到我这里来呢? ”

11:8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “That being so, we have now returned to you, that you may go with us to fight against the Ammonites and become for us as head of all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
基列的长老回答耶弗他说: “现在我们到你这里来, 是要你同我们去, 与亚扪人争战; 你可以作基列一切居民的领袖. ”

11:9 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you bring me back to fight against the Ammonites, and Yahweh gives them over to me, will I be your head?”
耶弗他对基列的长老说: “你们叫我回去, 与亚扪人争战, 耶和华把他交给我, 我可以作你们的领袖吗? ”

11:10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Yahweh will be a witness between us; we will act according to your word.”
基列的长老回答耶弗他说: “有耶和华在你我中间作见证, 我们必定照你的话行. ”

11:11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before Yahweh at Mizpah.
于是耶弗他同基列的长老回去, 百姓就立耶弗他作领袖,作元帅. 耶弗他在米斯巴将自己的一切话陈明在耶和华面前.

11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, saying, “What is between you and me that you have come to me to make war against my land?”
耶弗他打发使者去见亚扪人的王, 说: “你与我有甚么相干, 竟来到我国中攻打我呢? ”

11:13 And the king of the Ammonites said to Jephthah’s messengers, “Because Israel took my land from the Arnon up to the Jabbok and the Jordan when they came up from Egypt; so then, restore it peacefully.”
亚扪人的王回答耶弗他的使者说: “因为以色列人从埃及上来的时候占据我的地, 从亚嫩河到雅博河, 直到约旦河. 现在你要好好地将这地归还吧! ”

11:14 Once again Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites,
耶弗他又打发使者去见亚扪人的王,

11:15 and he said to him, “Thus says Jephthah, ‘Israel did not take the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites,
对他说: “耶弗他如此说, 以色列人并没有占据摩押地和亚扪人的地.

11:16 because when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and went to Kadesh.
以色列人从埃及上来乃是经过旷野到红海, 来到加低斯,

11:17 Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please let us cross through your land,” but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he was not willing. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.
就打发使者去见以东王, 说: ‘求你容我从你的地经过. ’以东王却不应允. 又照样打发使者去见摩押王, 他也不允准. 以色列人就住在加低斯.

11:18 Then they traveled through the wilderness, went around the land of Edom and Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped beyond the Arnon; and they did not go into the territory of Moab because the Arnon was the border of Moab.
他们又经过旷野, 绕着以东和摩押地, 从摩押地的东边过来, 在亚嫩河边安营, 并没有入摩押的境内, 因为亚嫩河是摩押的边界.

11:19 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us cross through your land to our country.’
以色列人打发使者去见亚摩利王西宏, 就是希实本的王, 对他说: ‘求你容我们从你的地经过, 往我们自己的地方去. ’

11:20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to cross through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people and then encamped at Jahaz; and he made war with Israel.
西宏却不信服以色列人, 不容他们经过他的境界, 乃招聚他的众民在雅杂安营, 与以色列人争战.

11:21 And Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them; and Israel occupied all the land of the Amorites inhabiting that land.
耶和华─以色列的神将西宏和他的众民都交在以色列人手中, 以色列人就击杀他们, 得了亚摩利人的全地:

11:22 They occupied all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon up to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness up to the Jordan.
从亚嫩河到雅博河, 从旷野直到约旦河.

11:23 So then Yahweh, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before his people Israel, and you want to possess it?
耶和华─以色列的神在他百姓以色列面前赶出亚摩利人, 你竟要得他们的地吗?

11:24 Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gave you to possess? Whoever Yahweh our God has driven out before us, we will possess it.
你的神基抹所赐你的地你不是得为业吗? 耶和华─我们的神在我们面前所赶出的人, 我们就得他的地.

11:25 So then, are you any better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever quarrel with Israel, or did he ever make war against them?
难道你比摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒还强吗? 他曾与以色列人争竞, 或是与他们争战吗?

11:26 When Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the towns that are along the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them at that time?
以色列人住希实本和属希实本的乡村, 亚罗珥和属亚罗珥的乡村, 并沿亚嫩河的一切城邑, 已经有三百年了; 在这三百年之内, 你们为甚么没有取回这些地方呢?

11:27 I have not sinned against you; but you are the one who is doing wrong by making war against me. Let Yahweh judge today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”
原来我没有得罪你, 你却攻打我, 恶待我. 愿审判人的耶和华今日在以色列人和亚扪人中间判断是非. ”

11:28 But the king of the Ammonites did not listen to the message that Jephthah sent to him.
但亚扪人的王不肯听耶弗他打发人说的话.

11:29 And the Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh. He passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed through to the Ammonites.
耶和华的灵降在耶弗他身上, 他就经过基列和玛拿西, 来到基列的米斯巴, 又从米斯巴来到亚扪人那里.

11:30 And Jephthah made a vow to Yahweh, and he said, “If indeed you will give the Ammonites into my hand,
耶弗他就向耶和华许愿, 说: “你若将亚扪人交在我手中,

11:31 whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from the Ammonites will be Yahweh’s, and I will offer it as a burnt offering.”
我从亚扪人那里平平安安回来的时候, 无论甚么人, 先从我家门出来迎接我, 就必归你, 我也必将他献上为燔祭. ”

11:32 And Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to make war against them; and Yahweh gave them into his hand.
于是耶弗他往亚扪人那里去, 与他们争战; 耶和华将他们交在他手中,

11:33 And he defeated them with a very great blow, from Aroer as far as Minnith, twenty towns, up to Abel Keramim. And the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.
他就大大杀败他们, 从亚罗珥到米匿, 直到亚备勒‧基拉明, 攻取了二十座城. 这样亚扪人就被以色列人制伏了.

11:34 Jephthah came to Mizpah, to his house, and behold his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and dancing. She was his only child; he did not have a son or daughter except her.
耶弗他回米斯巴到了自己的家, 不料, 他女儿拿着鼓跳舞出来迎接他, 是他独生的, 此外无儿无女.

11:35 And the moment he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “Ah! My daughter, you have caused me to bow down, and you have become my trouble. I made an oath to Yahweh, and I cannot take it back.”
耶弗他看见她, 就撕裂衣服, 说: “哀哉! 我的女儿啊, 你使我甚是愁苦, 叫我作难了; 因为我已经向耶和华开口许愿, 不能挽回. ”

11:36 She said to him, “My father, you made an oath to Yahweh. Do to me according to what has gone out from your mouth, since Yahweh gave vengeance to you against your enemies, the Ammonites.”
他女儿回答说: “父啊, 你既向耶和华开口, 就当照你口中所说的向我行, 因耶和华已经在仇敌亚扪人身上为你报仇”;

11:37 And she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me: grant me two months so that I may go wander on the mountains and lament over my virginity, I and my companions.
又对父亲说: “有一件事求你允准: 容我去两个月, 与同伴在山上, 好哀哭我终为处女. ”

11:38 And he said, “Go.” He sent her away for two months, and she went with her friends, and she lamented over her virginity on the mountains.
耶弗他说: “你去吧! ”就容她去两个月. 她便和同伴去了, 在山上为她终为处女哀哭.

11:39 At the end of the two months she returned to her father, and he did to her according to his vow; and she did not sleep with a man. And it became an annual custom in Israel
两月已满, 她回到父亲那里, 父亲就照所许的愿向她行了. 女儿终身没有亲近男子.

11:40 for the daughters of Israel to go and lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite for forty days of the year.
此后以色列中有个规矩, 每年以色列的女子去为基列人耶弗他的女儿哀哭四天.

Judges - Chapter 12

12:1 The men of Ephraim were called to arms, and they crossed over to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you cross over and make war against the Ammonites, and why did you not call us to go with you? We will burn down your house over you with fire.”
以法莲人聚集, 到了北方, 对耶弗他说: “你去与亚扪人争战, 为甚么没有招我们同去呢? 我们必用火烧你和你的房屋. ”

12:2 And Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were engaged in great conflict with the Ammonites; I called you, but you did not deliver me from their hand.
耶弗他对他们说: “我和我的民与亚扪人大大争战; 我招你们来, 你们竟没有来救我脱离他们的手.

12:3 I saw that you would not deliver us; I risked my own life, and I crossed over to the Ammonites, and Yahweh gave them into my hand. Why have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”
我见你们不来救我, 我就拼命前去攻击亚扪人, 耶和华将他们交在我手中. 你们今日为甚么上我这里来攻打我呢? ”

12:4 Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and he made war with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
于是耶弗他招聚基列人, 与以法莲人争战. 基列人击杀以法莲人, 是因他们说: “你们基列人在以法莲,玛拿西中间, 不过是以法莲逃亡的人. ”

12:5 Then Gilead captured the fords of the Jordan from Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me cross over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” When he said, “No,”
基列人把守约旦河的渡口, 不容以法莲人过去. 以法莲逃走的人若说: “容我过去. ”基列人就问他说: “你是以法莲人不是? ”他若说: “不是”,

12:6 they said to him, “Please say Shibboleth,” and if he said, “Sibboleth”—because he could not pronounce it correctly—they grabbed him and executed him at the fords of Jordan. At that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim fell.
就对他说: “你说‘示播列’. ”以法莲人因为咬不真字音, 便说“西播列”. 基列人就将他拿住, 杀在约旦河的渡口. 那时以法莲人被杀的有四万二千人.

12:7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
耶弗他作以色列的士师六年. 基列人耶弗他死了, 葬在基列的一座城里.

12:8 After him Ibzan from Bethlehem judged Israel.
耶弗他以后, 有伯利恒人以比赞作以色列的士师.

12:9 He had thirty sons. He gave his thirty daughters away in marriage outside his clan and brought in from outside thirty young women for his sons. He judged Israel for seven years.
他有三十个儿子, 三十个女儿; 女儿都嫁出去了. 他给众子从外乡娶了三十个媳妇. 他作以色列的士师七年.

12:10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
以比赞死了, 葬在伯利恒.

12:11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years.
以比赞之后, 有西布伦人以伦, 作以色列的士师十年.

12:12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
西布伦人以伦死了, 葬在西布伦地的亚雅仑.

12:13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
以伦之后, 有比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿作以色列的士师.

12:14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons that rode on seventy male donkeys. He judged Israel for eight years.
他有四十个儿子, 三十个孙子, 骑著七十匹驴驹. 押顿作以色列的士师八年.

12:15 Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim in the hill country of the Amalekites.
比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿死了, 葬在以法莲地的比拉顿, 在亚玛力人的山地.

Judges - Chapter 13

13:1 And again, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 耶和华将他们交在非利士人手中四十年.

13:2 There was a certain man from Zorah, from the tribe of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; his wife was infertile and did not bear children.
那时, 有一个琐拉人, 是属但族的, 名叫玛挪亚. 他的妻不怀孕, 不生育.

13:3 And an angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and he said to her, “Behold, you are infertile and have not borne children, but you will conceive and bear a son.
耶和华的使者向那妇人显现, 对她说: “向来你不怀孕, 不生育, 如今你必怀孕生一个儿子.

13:4 So then, be careful and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean,
所以你当谨慎, 清酒浓酒都不可喝, 一切不洁之物也不可吃.

13:5 because you will conceive and bear a son. No razor will touch his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth. And it is he who will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
你必怀孕生一个儿子, 不可用剃头刀剃他的头, 因为这孩子一出胎就归神作拿细耳人. 他必起首拯救以色列人脱离非利士人的手. ”

13:6 And the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him from where he came, and he did not tell me his name.
妇人就回去对丈夫说: “有一个神人到我面前来, 他的相貌如神使者的相貌, 甚是可畏. 我没有问他从哪里来, 他也没有将他的名告诉我,

13:7 And he said to me, ‘Look, you will conceive and bear a son, so then, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth until the day of his death.’ ”
却对我说: ‘你要怀孕生一个儿子, 所以清酒浓酒都不可喝, 一切不洁之物也不可吃; 因为这孩子从出胎一直到死, 必归神作拿细耳人. ’”

13:8 Then Manoah prayed to Yahweh and said, “Excuse me, my Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent again come to us and teach us what we should do concerning the boy who will be born.”
玛挪亚就祈求耶和华说: “主啊, 求你再差遣那神人到我们这里来, 好指教我们怎样待这将要生的孩子. ”

13:9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and an angel of God came again to the woman; she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.
神应允玛挪亚的话; 妇人正坐在田间的时候, 神的使者又到她那里, 她丈夫玛挪亚却没有同她在一处.

13:10 The woman quickly ran and told her husband, and she said to him, “Look! The man who came to me the other day appeared to me.”
妇人急忙跑去告诉丈夫说: “那日到我面前来的人, 又向我显现. ”

13:11 So Manoah got up and went after his wife, and he came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man that spoke to the woman?” And he said, “I am.”
玛挪亚起来跟随他的妻来到那人面前, 对他说: “与这妇人说话的就是你吗? ”他说: “是我. ”

13:12 And Manoah said to him, “Now when your words come true, what will be the boy’s manner of life and work?”
玛挪亚说: “愿你的话应验! 我们当怎样待这孩子, 他后来当怎样呢? ”

13:13 And the angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “Let the woman be attentive to all that I said.
耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说: “我告诉妇人的一切事, 她都当谨慎.

13:14 She should not eat of anything that comes from the vine, or drink wine or strong drink, or eat anything unclean; she should keep all that I commanded.”
葡萄树所结的都不可吃, 清酒浓酒都不可喝, 一切不洁之物也不可吃. 凡我所吩咐的, 她都当遵守. ”

13:15 And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “Please stay, and let us prepare a young goat for you.”
玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说: “求你容我们款留你, 好为你预备一只山羊羔. ”

13:16 The angel of Yahweh said to Manoah, “If you keep me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh, you can offer it (for Manoah did not know that he was an angel of Yahweh).”
耶和华的使者对玛挪亚说: “你虽然款留我, 我却不吃你的食物, 你若预备燔祭就当献与耶和华. ”原来玛挪亚不知道他是耶和华的使者.

13:17 And Manoah said to the angel of Yahweh, “What is your name so that when your words come true we may honor you?”
玛挪亚对耶和华的使者说: “请将你的名告诉我, 到你话应验的时候, 我们好尊敬你. ”

13:18 But the angel of Yahweh said to him, “Why do you ask my name? It is too wonderful.”
耶和华的使者对他说: “你何必问我的名, 我名是奇妙的. ”

13:19 And Manoah took the young goat and the grain offering, and he offered it to Yahweh on the rock, to the one who performs miracles. And Manoah and his wife were watching.
玛挪亚将一只山羊羔和素祭在磐石上献与耶和华, 使者行奇妙的事; 玛挪亚和他的妻观看,

13:20 And when the flame went up toward the heaven from the altar, the angel of Yahweh went up in the flame of the altar to heaven while Manoah and his wife were watching. And they fell on their faces to the ground.
见火焰从坛上往上升, 耶和华的使者在坛上的火焰中也升上去了. 玛挪亚和他的妻看见, 就俯伏于地.

13:21 The angel of Yahweh did not appear again to Manoah and his wife, and then Manoah knew that he was a messenger of Yahweh.
耶和华的使者不再向玛挪亚和他的妻显现, 玛挪亚才知道他是耶和华的使者.

13:22 And Manoah said to his wife, “We will certainly die because we have seen God.”
玛挪亚对他的妻说: “我们必要死, 因为看见了神. ”

13:23 But his wife said to him, “If Yahweh wanted to kill us he would not have taken from our hand the burnt offering and the grain offering, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us things such as these.”
他的妻却对他说: “耶和华若要杀我们, 必不从我们手里收纳燔祭和素祭, 并不将这一切事指示我们, 今日也不将这些话告诉我们. ”

13:24 The woman bore a son, and she called him Samson; the boy grew big, and Yahweh blessed him.
后来妇人生了一个儿子, 给他起名叫参孙. 孩子长大, 耶和华赐福与他.

13:25 And the Spirit of Yahweh began to stir him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
在玛哈尼‧但, 就是琐拉和以实陶中间, 耶和华的灵才感动他.

Judges - Chapter 14

14:1 And Samson went down to Timnah, and he saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines.
参孙下到亭拿, 在那里看见一个女子, 是非利士人的女儿.

14:2 He went up and told his father and mother, and he said, “I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines; so then, take her for me as a wife.”
参孙上来禀告他父母说: “我在亭拿看见一个女子, 是非利士人的女儿, 愿你们给我娶来为妻. ”

14:3 But his father and mother said to him, “Is there not a wife among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Take her for me because she pleases me.”
他父母说: “在你弟兄的女儿中, 或在本国的民中, 岂没有一个女子, 何致你去在未受割礼的非利士人中娶妻呢? ”参孙对他父亲说: “愿你给我娶那女子, 因我喜悦她. ”

14:4 His father and mother did not know that this was from Yahweh; he was seeking for an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling in Israel.
他的父母却不知道这事是出于耶和华, 因为他找机会攻击非利士人. 那时, 非利士人辖制以色列人.

14:5 And Samson and his father and mother went down to Timnah, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah, and suddenly a young lion came roaring to meet him.
参孙跟他父母下亭拿去, 到了亭拿的葡萄园, 见有一只少壮狮子向他吼叫.

14:6 And the Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one might tear apart a male kid goat (he was bare-handed). But he did not tell his father and mother what he had done.
耶和华的灵大大感动参孙, 他虽然手无器械, 却将狮子撕裂, 如同撕裂山羊羔一样. 他行这事并没有告诉父母.

14:7 Then he went down and talked to the woman, and she pleased Samson.
参孙下去与女子说话, 就喜悦她;

14:8 And he returned after awhile to marry her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and there was a swarm of wild honey bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
过了些日子, 再下去要娶那女子, 转向道旁要看死狮, 见有一群蜂子和蜜在死狮之内,

14:9 He scraped it out into his hands, and he went on, eating it as he went. And he went to his father and mother and gave some to them, and they ate it. But he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey from the body of the lion.
就用手取蜜, 且吃且走; 到了父母那里, 给他父母, 他们也吃了; 只是没有告诉这蜜是从死狮之内取来的.

14:10 His father went down to the woman, and Samson prepared there a feast, as young men were accustomed to doing this.
他父亲下去见女子. 参孙在那里设摆筵宴, 因为向来少年人都有这个规矩.

14:11 When they saw him, they took thirty companions, and they were with him.
众人看见参孙, 就请了三十个人陪伴他.

14:12 And Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle. If you can fully explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, I will give to you thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments.
参孙对他们说: “我给你们出一个谜语, 你们在七日筵宴之内, 若能猜出意思告诉我, 我就给你们三十件里衣, 三十套衣裳;

14:13 But if you are unable to explain it to me, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments.” So they said to him, “Tell your riddle; let us hear it.”
你们若不能猜出意思告诉我, 你们就给我三十件里衣, 三十套衣裳. ”他们说: “请将谜语说给我们听. ”

14:14 He said to them, “From the eater came out food, From the strong came out sweet.” But they were unable to explain the riddle for three days.
参孙对他们说: 吃的从吃者出来; 甜的从强者出来. 他们三日不能猜出谜语的意思.

14:15 When it was the fourth day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband and tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us to rob us?”
到第七天, 他们对参孙的妻说: “你诓哄你丈夫, 探出谜语的意思告诉我们, 免得我们用火烧你和你父家. 你们请了我们来, 是要夺我们所有的吗? ”

14:16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and she said, “You must hate me; you do not love me. You told the riddle to my people, but you have not explained it to me.” He said to her, “I have not explained it to my father and mother. Why should I explain it to you?”
参孙的妻在丈夫面前啼哭说: “你是恨我, 不是爱我, 你给我本国的人出谜语, 却没有将意思告诉我. ”参孙回答说: “连我父母我都没有告诉, 岂可告诉你呢? ”

14:17 She wept before him the seven days of their feast; and it happened, because she nagged him, on the seventh day he explained it to her, and she told the riddle to her people.
七日筵宴之内, 她在丈夫面前啼哭, 到第七天逼着他, 他才将谜语的意思告诉他妻, 他妻就告诉本国的人.

14:18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle.”
到第七天, 日头未落以前, 那城里的人对参孙说: 有甚么比蜜还甜呢? 有甚么比狮子还强呢? 参孙对他们说: 你们若非用我的母牛犊耕地, 就猜不出我谜语的意思来.

14:19 And the Spirit of Yahweh rushed on him, and he went down to Ashkelon. He killed thirty men from them, and he took their belongings, and he gave festal garments to the ones that explained the riddle. He was angry, and he went up to his father’s house.
耶和华的灵大大感动参孙, 他就下到亚实基伦, 击杀了三十个人, 夺了他们的衣裳, 将衣裳给了猜出谜语的人. 参孙发怒, 就上父家去了.

14:20 And Samson’s wife was given to his companion who was his best man.
参孙的妻便归了参孙的陪伴, 就是作过他朋友的.

Judges - Chapter 15

15:1 After a while, at the time of the wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I want to go to my wife’s private room.” But her father would not allow him to enter.
过了些日子, 到割麦子的时候, 参孙带着一只山羊羔去看他的妻, 说: “我要进内室见我的妻. ”他岳父不容他进去,

15:2 Her father said, “I really thought that you hated her, so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.”
说: “我估定你是极其恨她, 因此我将她给了你的陪伴. 她的妹子不是比她还美丽吗? 你可以娶来代替她吧! ”

15:3 And Samson said to them, “This time, as far as the Philistines are concerned, when I do something evil I am without blame.”
参孙说: “这回我加害于非利士人不算有罪. ”

15:4 And Samson went and captured three hundred foxes, and he took torches. He turned them tail to tail, and he put one torch between two tails.
于是参孙去捉了三百只狐狸(或译: 野狗), 将狐狸尾巴一对一对地捆上, 将火把捆在两条尾巴中间,

15:5 He set fire to the torches and let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and he burned both the stacks of sheaves and the standing grain, up to the vineyards of olive groves.
点着火把, 就放狐狸进入非利士人站着的禾稼, 将堆集的禾捆和未割的禾稼, 并橄榄园尽都烧了.

15:6 And the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” And they said, “Samson the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion.” And the Philistines went up and burned her and her father with fire.
非利士人说: “这事是谁做的呢? ”有人说: “是亭拿人的女婿参孙, 因为他岳父将他的妻给了他的陪伴. ”于是非利士人上去, 用火烧了妇人和她的父亲.

15:7 Samson said to them, “If you want to behave like this, I swear I will not rest unless I have taken revenge on you.”
参孙对非利士人说: “你们既然这样行, 我必向你们报仇才肯罢休. ”

15:8 And he gave them a thorough beating, and he went down and stayed in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
参孙就大大击杀他们, 连腿带腰都砍断了. 他便下去, 住在以坦磐的穴内.

15:9 Then the Philistines came up and encamped in Judah, and they overran Lehi.
非利士人上去安营在犹大, 布散在利希.

15:10 And the men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” And they said, “To bind Samson; to do to him just as he did to us.”
犹大人说: “你们为何上来攻击我们呢? ”他们说: “我们上来是要捆绑参孙; 他向我们怎样行, 我们也要向他怎样行. ”

15:11 Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and they said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are ruling over us? What is this that you have done to us?” And he said to them, “Just as they did to me, so I have done to them.”
于是有三千犹大人下到以坦磐的穴内, 对参孙说: “非利士人辖制我们, 你不知道吗? 你向我们行的是甚么事呢? ”他回答说: “他们向我怎样行, 我也要向他们怎样行. ”

15:12 They said to him, “We have come down to bind you and give you over into the hand of the Philistines.” And Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”
犹大人对他说: “我们下来是要捆绑你, 将你交在非利士人手中. ”参孙说: “你们要向我起誓, 应承你们自己不害死我. ”

15:13 They said to him, “No, we will only bind you and give you into their hand; we will certainly not kill you.” So they bound him with two new ropes, and they brought him up from the rock.
他们说: “我们断不杀你, 只要将你捆绑交在非利士人手中. ”于是用两条新绳捆绑参孙, 将他从以坦磐带上去.

15:14 As he came up to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him; and the Spirit of Yahweh rushed on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that has burned with fire, and his bindings melted from his hands.
参孙到了利希, 非利士人都迎著喧嚷. 耶和华的灵大大感动参孙, 他臂上的绳就像火烧的麻一样, 他的绑绳都从他手上脱落下来.

15:15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey; he reached down and took it and killed one thousand men with it.
他见一块未干的驴腮骨, 就伸手拾起来, 用以击杀一千人.

15:16 And Samson said, “With the jawbone of the donkey, heap upon heap; with the jawbone of the donkey, I struck dead one thousand men.”
参孙说: 我用驴腮骨杀人成堆, 用驴腮骨杀了一千人.

15:17 And it happened, when he finished speaking he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he called that place Ramath Lehi.
说完这话, 就把那腮骨从手里抛出去了. 那地便叫拉末‧利希.

15:18 And he was very thirsty, and he called to Yahweh and said, “You gave this great victory into the hand of your servant, but now I must die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”
参孙甚觉口渴, 就求告耶和华说: “你既藉仆人的手施行这么大的拯救, 岂可任我渴死,落在未受割礼的人手中呢? ”

15:19 So God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out from it; and he drank, and his spirit returned, and he was revived. Thus he called its name The Spring of Ha-Qore, which is at Lehi to this day.
神就使利希的洼处裂开, 有水从其中涌出来. 参孙喝了, 精神复原; 因此那泉名叫隐‧哈歌利, 那泉直到今日还在利希.

15:20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
当非利士人辖制以色列人的时候, 参孙作以色列的士师二十年.

Judges - Chapter 16

16:1 Samson went down to Gaza; there he saw a prostitute and had sex with her.
参孙到了迦萨, 在那里看见一个妓女, 就与她亲近.

16:2 The Gazites were told, “Samson has come here,” so they surrounded the place and lay in ambush for him all night at the city gate. They kept silent all night, saying, “We will wait until the morning light, and then we will kill him.”
有人告诉迦萨人说: “参孙到这里来了! ”他们就把他团团围住, 终夜在城门悄悄埋伏, 说: “等到天亮我们便杀他. ”

16:3 But Samson lay until the middle of the night; he got up in the middle of the night and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two door posts, tore them loose with the bar, put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the hill that is in front of Hebron.
参孙睡到半夜, 起来, 将城门的门扇,门框,门闩, 一齐拆下来, 扛在肩上, 扛到希伯仑前的山顶上.

16:4 After this he fell in love with a woman in the wadi of Sorek, and her name was Delilah.
后来, 参孙在梭烈谷喜爱一个妇人, 名叫大利拉.

16:5 And the rulers of the Philistines came up to her and said, “Entice him and find out what makes his strength so great, and how we can overpower him, so that we may bind him up in order to subdue him; each of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.
非利士人的首领上去见那妇人, 对她说: “求你诓哄参孙, 探探他因何有这么大的力气, 我们用何法能胜他, 捆绑克制他. 我们就每人给你一千一百舍客勒银子. ”

16:6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me what makes your strength so great, and with what can you be tied up to subdue you?”
大利拉对参孙说: “求你告诉我, 你因何有这么大的力气, 当用何法捆绑克制你. ”

16:7 Samson said to her, “If you tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that are not dried up, I will become weak like everyone else.”
参孙回答说: “人若用七条未干的青绳子捆绑我, 我就软弱像别人一样. ”

16:8 So the rulers of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings that were not dried up, and she tied him up with them.
于是非利士人的首领拿了七条未干的青绳子来, 交给妇人, 她就用绳子捆绑参孙.

16:9 The ambush was sitting in wait for her in an inner room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you Samson!” And he snapped the bowstrings just as flax fiber snaps when it comes close to fire. And the secret of his strength remained unknown.
有人预先埋伏在妇人的内室里. 妇人说: “参孙哪, 非利士人拿你来了! ”参孙就挣断绳子, 如挣断经火的麻线一般. 这样, 他力气的根由人还是不知道.

16:10 Delilah said to Samson, “Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Please tell me how you can be bound.”
大利拉对参孙说: “你欺哄我, 向我说谎言. 现在求你告诉我当用何法捆绑你. ”

16:11 He said to her, “If they tie me tightly with new ropes that have not been used, I will become weak and be like everyone else.”
参孙回答说: “人若用没有使过的新绳捆绑我, 我就软弱像别人一样. ”

16:12 So Delilah took new ropes and tied him up with them, and she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” (The ambush was sitting in an inner room.) But he snapped them from his arms like thread.
大利拉就用新绳捆绑他, 对他说: “参孙哪, 非利士人拿你来了! ”有人预先埋伏在内室里. 参孙将臂上的绳挣断了, 如挣断一条线一样.

16:13 And Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told lies to me. Tell me how you can be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave seven locks of my head with warp-threads.”
大利拉对参孙说: “你到如今还是欺哄我, 向我说谎言. 求你告诉我, 当用何法捆绑你. ”参孙回答说: “你若将我头上的七条发绺, 与纬线同织就可以了. ”

16:14 She fastened it with the pin and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And Samson woke up from his sleep and tore loose the loom pin of the web and the warp-threads.
于是大利拉将他的发绺与纬线同织, 用橛子钉住, 对他说: “参孙哪, 非利士人拿你来了! ”参孙从睡中醒来, 将机上的橛子和纬线一齐都拔出来了.

16:15 And she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me how your strength is so great.”
大利拉对参孙说: “你既不与我同心, 怎么说你爱我呢? 你这三次欺哄我, 没有告诉我, 你因何有这么大的力气. ”

16:16 And because she nagged him day after day with her words, and pestered him, his soul grew impatient to the point of death.
大利拉天天用话催逼他, 甚至他心里烦闷要死.

16:17 So he confided everything to her, and he said to her, “A razor has never touched my head, for I am a Nazirite of God from birth. If I am shaved my strength will leave me, and I will become weak, like everyone else.
参孙就把心中所藏的都告诉了她, 对她说: “向来人没有用剃头刀剃我的头, 因为我自出母胎就归神作拿细耳人; 若剃了我的头发, 我的力气就离开我, 我便软弱像别人一样. ”

16:18 Delilah realized that he had confided in her, so she sent and called the rulers of the Philistines, saying, “Come up one more time, for he has confided in me.” And the rulers of the Philistines came up, and they brought the money with them.
大利拉见他把心中所藏的都告诉了她, 就打发人到非利士人的首领那里, 对他们说: “他已经把心中所藏的都告诉了我, 请你们再上来一次. ”于是非利士人的首领手里拿着银子, 上到妇人那里.

16:19 And she put him to sleep on her lap; then she called the men and shaved off seven locks of his head. Then she began to subdue him, and his strength went away from him.
大利拉使参孙枕着她的膝睡觉, 叫了一个人来剃除他头上的七条发绺. 于是大利拉克制他, 他的力气就离开他了.

16:20 And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he woke up from his sleep and said, “I will go out just like every other time and shake myself free,” but he did not know that Yahweh had left him.
大利拉说: “参孙哪, 非利士人拿你来了! ”参孙从睡中醒来, 心里说: “我要像前几次出去活动身体”; 他却不知道耶和华已经离开他了.

16:21 And the Philistines seized him, gouged his eyes, and brought him to Gaza. They tied him up with bronze shackles, and he became a grinder in the prison.
非利士人将他拿住, 剜了他的眼睛, 带他下到迦萨, 用铜炼拘索他; 他就在监里推磨.

16:22 But the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved off.
然而他的头发被剃之后, 又渐渐长起来了.

16:23 The rulers of the Philistines had gathered to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to rejoice. And they said, “Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand.”
非利士人的首领聚集, 要给他们的神大衮献大祭, 并且欢乐, 因为他们说: “我们的神将我们的仇敌参孙交在我们手中了. ”

16:24 And the people saw him, and they praised their god, for they said, “Our god has given into our hand those who hate us, devastate our land, and have killed many of us.”
众人看见参孙, 就赞美他们的神说: “我们的神将毁坏我们地,杀害我们许多人的仇敌交在我们手中了. ”

16:25 After awhile, when their hearts were merry, they said, “Call Samson and let him entertain us.” And they called Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.
他们正宴乐的时候, 就说: “叫参孙来, 在我们面前戏耍戏耍. ”于是将参孙从监里提出来, 他就在众人面前戏耍. 他们使他站在两柱中间.

16:26 Then Samson said to the servant who was holding him by his hand, “Position me so that I can touch the pillars on which the house rests, so I can lean on them.”
参孙向拉他手的童子说: “求你让我摸著托房的柱子, 我要靠一靠. ”

16:27 And the house was full of men and women, and all of the rulers of the Philistines were there—about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching the performance of Samson.
那时房内充满男女, 非利士人的众首领也都在那里. 房的平顶上约有三千男女观看参孙戏耍.

16:28 And Samson called to Yahweh and said, “My Lord Yahweh, remember me! Please give me strength this one time, O God, so that I can repay with one act of revenge to the Philistines for my eyes.”
参孙求告耶和华说: “主耶和华啊, 求你眷念我. 神啊, 求你赐我这一次的力量, 使我在非利士人身上报那剜我双眼的仇. ”

16:29 And Samson reached out and held two of the middle pillars on which the house was resting, and he leaned on them, one on his right and one on his left.
参孙就抱住托房的那两根柱子: 左手抱一根, 右手抱一根,

16:30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And he pushed with all his strength, and the house fell on the rulers and all of the people who were with him. And the dead whom he killed in his death were more than those he killed in his life.
说: “我情愿与非利士人同死! ”就尽力屈身, 房子倒塌, 压住首领和房内的众人. 这样, 参孙死时所杀的人比活着所杀的还多.

16:31 His brothers and his whole family came down and picked him up; and they brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father; he judged Israel twenty years.
参孙的弟兄和他父的全家都下去取他的尸首, 抬上来葬在琐拉和以实陶中间, 在他父玛挪亚的坟墓里. 参孙作以色列的士师二十年.

Judges - Chapter 17

17:1 There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim; his name was Micah.
以法莲山地有一个人名叫米迦.

17:2 And he said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, and about which you also pronounced a curse in my hearing, are with me; I took it.” And his mother said, “Blessed be my son by Yahweh.”
他对母亲说: “你那一千一百舍客勒银子被人拿去, 你因此咒诅, 并且告诉了我. 看哪, 这银子在我这里, 是我拿去了. ”他母亲说: “我儿啊, 愿耶和华赐福与你! ”

17:3 He returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother thought, “I will certainly consecrate to Yahweh the pieces of silver from my hand for my son to make an idol of cast metal; now then, I will return them to you.”
米迦就把这一千一百舍客勒银子还他母亲. 他母亲说: “我分出这银子来为你献给耶和华, 好雕刻一个像, 铸成一个像. 现在我还是交给你. ”

17:4 When he returned the pieces of silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and she gave it to the smith, and he made it into an idol of cast metal; and it was in the house of Micah.
米迦将银子还他母亲, 他母亲将二百舍客勒银子交给银匠, 雕刻一个像, 铸成一个像, 安置在米迦的屋内.

17:5 The man Micah had for himself a shrine, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and he appointed one of his sons who became a priest for him.
这米迦有了神堂, 又制造以弗得和家中的神像, 分派他一个儿子作祭司.

17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, and each one did what was right in his own eyes.
那时以色列中没有王, 各人任意而行.

17:7 There was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, from the clan of Judah; he was a Levite and was dwelling as a foreigner there.
犹大的伯利恒有一个少年人, 是犹大族的利未人, 他在那里寄居.

17:8 And the man went from the town of Bethlehem in Judah to live as a foreigner wherever he could find a place. And he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, to continue his journey.
这人离开犹大的伯利恒城, 要找一个可住的地方. 行路的时候, 到了以法莲山地, 走到米迦的家.

17:9 And Micah said to him, “From where do you come?” And he said to him, “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah; I am going to dwell as a foreigner wherever I can find a place.”
米迦问他说: “你从哪里来? ”他回答说: “从犹大的伯利恒来. 我是利未人, 要找一个可住的地方. ”

17:10 And Micah said to him, “Stay with me and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give to you ten pieces of silver a year, a set of clothes, and your food.” So the Levite went with him.
米迦说: “你可以住在我这里, 我以你为父,为祭司. 我每年给你十舍客勒银子, 一套衣服和度日的食物. ”利未人就进了他的家.

17:11 The Levite agreed to stay with the man; and the young man became as one of his sons.
利未人情愿与那人同住; 那人看这少年人如自己的儿子一样.

17:12 So Micah appointed the Levite, and the young man became a priest for him; and he was in the house of Micah.
米迦分派这少年的利未人作祭司, 他就住在米迦的家里.

17:13 And Micah said, “Now I know Yahweh will make me prosperous, because the Levite has become my priest.”
米迦说: “现在我知道耶和华必赐福与我, 因我有一个利未人作祭司. ”

Judges - Chapter 18

18:1 In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking territory for itself to live in, because until that day it had not been allotted territory among the tribes of Israel.
那时, 以色列中没有王. 但支派的人仍是寻地居住; 因为到那日子, 他们还没有在以色列支派中得地为业.

18:2 The descendants of Dan sent from the whole number of their clan five capable men from Zorah and Eshtaol to spy out the land and to explore it. And they said to them, “Go, explore the land.” And they went to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and they spent the night there.
但人从琐拉和以实陶打发本族中的五个勇士, 去仔细窥探那地, 吩咐他们说: “你们去窥探那地. ”他们来到以法莲山地, 进了米迦的住宅, 就在那里住宿.

18:3 While they were with the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite, and they turned aside there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place, and what is your business here?”
他们临近米迦的住宅, 听出那少年利未人的口音来, 就进去问他说: “谁领你到这里来? 你在这里做甚么? 你在这里得甚么? ”

18:4 And he said to them, “Micah did such and such for me and hired me, and I became his priest.”
他回答说: “米迦待我如此如此, 请我作祭司. ”

18:5 And they said to him, “Please inquire of God that we may know whether our journey that we are going on will be successful.”
他们对他说: “请你求问神, 使我们知道所行的道路通达不通达. ”

18:6 And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. Yahweh is in front of you on the journey you want to go on.”
祭司对他们说: “你们可以平平安安地去, 你们所行的道路是在耶和华面前的. ”

18:7 And the five men went and came to Laish, and they observed the people who were living according to the customs of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, and lacking nothing in the land, and possessing restraint. And they were far from the Sidonians and had no word with anyone.
五人就走了, 来到拉亿, 见那里的民安居无虑, 如同西顿人安居一样. 在那地没有人掌权扰乱他们; 他们离西顿人也远, 与别人没有来往.

18:8 They came to their relatives at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their relatives said to them, “What do you report?”
五人回到琐拉和以实陶, 见他们的弟兄; 弟兄问他们说: “你们有甚么话? ”

18:9 And they said to them, “Come, let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to possess the land.
他们回答说: “起来, 我们上去攻击他们吧! 我们已经窥探那地, 见那地甚好. 你们为何静坐不动呢? 要急速前往得那地为业, 不可迟延.

18:10 When you go you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is spread out on all sides; God has given a place into your hands where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
你们到了那里, 必看见安居无虑的民, 地也宽阔. 神已将那地交在你们手中; 那地百物俱全, 一无所缺. ”

18:11 Six hundred men from the clan of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war, set out from there.
于是但族中的六百人, 各带兵器, 从琐拉和以实陶前往,

18:12 They went up and encamped at Kiriath Jearim in Judah. Therefore they called this place Camp of Dan to this day; it is west of Kiriath Jearim.
上到犹大的基列‧耶琳, 在基列‧耶琳后边安营. 因此那地方名叫玛哈尼‧但, 直到今日.

18:13 From there they crossed over to the hill country of Ephraim, and they came to the house of Micah.
他们从那里往以法莲山地去, 来到米迦的住宅.

18:14 And the five men that went out to spy out the land (that is, Laish) responded and said to their relatives, “Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod, teraphim, and an idol of cast metal? So then, consider what you must do.”
从前窥探拉亿地的五个人对他们的弟兄说: “这宅子里有以弗得和家中的神像, 并雕刻的像与铸成的像, 你们知道吗? 现在你们要想一想当怎样行. ”

18:15 So they turned to that direction, and they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and they greeted him.
五人就进入米迦的住宅, 到了那少年利未人的房内问他好.

18:16 And six hundred men from the descendants of Dan, armed with their weapons of war, were standing at the entrance of the gate.
那六百但人各带兵器, 站在门口.

18:17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and they entered there and took the carved divine image, ephod, teraphim, and the molten image. The priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with the weapons of war.
窥探地的五个人走进去, 将雕刻的像,以弗得,家中的神像, 并铸成的像, 都拿了去. 祭司和带兵器的六百人, 一同站在门口.

18:18 When these went to Micah’s house, they took the divine carved image, ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, and the priest asked them, “What are you doing?”
那五个人进入米迦的住宅, 拿出雕刻的像,以弗得,家中的神像, 并铸成的像, 祭司就问他们说: “你们做甚么呢? ”

18:19 And they said to him, “Keep quiet! Put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be for us a father and a priest. Is it better being a priest for a house of one man or being a priest for a tribe and clan in Israel?”
他们回答说: “不要作声, 用手摀口, 跟我们去吧! 我们必以你为父,为祭司. 你作一家的祭司好呢? 还是作以色列一族一支派的祭司好呢? ”

18:20 The priest accepted the offer, and he took the ephod, teraphim, and molten image and went along with the people.
祭司心里喜悦, 便拿著以弗得和家中的神像, 并雕刻的像, 进入他们中间.

18:21 And they turned and went and put the little children, the livestock, and the valuable property in front of them.
他们就转身离开那里, 妻子,儿女,牲畜,财物都在前头.

18:22 When they were at a distance from the house, Micah and the men who were in the houses that were near the house of Micah cried out, and they overtook the descendants of Dan.
离米迦的住宅已远, 米迦的近邻都聚集来, 追赶但人,

18:23 And they called to the descendants of Dan, who turned around to face them, and they said to Micah, “What is the matter with you that you assembled together?”
呼叫但人. 但人回头问米迦说: “你聚集这许多人来做甚么呢? ”

18:24 He said, “You took away my gods that I had made, and the priest, and then you go away. What is now left for me? How can you say to me, ‘What is the matter?’ ”
米迦说: “你们将我所做的神像和祭司都带了去, 我还有所剩的吗? 怎么还问我说‘做甚么’呢? ”

18:25 And the descendants of Dan said to him, “You should not let your voice be heard among us, so that ill-tempered men will not attack you, and take your life and the lives of your household.”
但人对米迦说: “你不要使我们听见你的声音, 恐怕有性暴的人攻击你, 以致你和你的全家尽都丧命. ”

18:26 And the descendants of Dan went their way. When Micah saw that they were stronger than him, he turned to return to his house.
但人还是走他们的路. 米迦见他们的势力比自己强盛, 就转身回家去了.

18:27 And they took what Micah had made, and his priest, and they came to Laish, to a quiet and unsuspecting people, and they put them to the sword and burned the city with fire.
但人将米迦所做的神像和他的祭司都带到拉亿, 见安居无虑的民, 就用刀杀了那民, 又放火烧了那城,

18:28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that belonged to Beth-rehob, and they rebuilt the city and lived in it.
并无人搭救; 因为离西顿远, 他们又与别人没有来往. 城在平原, 那平原靠近伯‧利合. 但人又在那里修城居住,

18:29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the former name of the city was Laish.
照着他们始祖以色列之子但的名字, 给那城起名叫但; 原先那城名叫拉亿.

18:30 And the descendants of Dan set up for themselves the carved divine image, and Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites until the time of the captivity of the land.
但人就为自己设立那雕刻的像. 摩西的孙子,革舜的儿子约拿单, 和他的子孙作但支派的祭司, 直到那地遭掳掠的日子.

18:31 So they set up for themselves the carved divine image that Micah had made, all the days that the house of God was in Shiloh.
神的殿在示罗多少日子, 但人为自己设立米迦所雕刻的像也在但多少日子.

Judges - Chapter 19

19:1 In those days there was no king in Israel; there was a man, a Levite, who dwelled as a foreigner in the remote areas of the hill country of Ephraim. And he took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
当以色列中没有王的时候, 有住以法莲山地那边的一个利未人, 娶了一个犹大伯利恒的女子为妾.

19:2 But his concubine felt repugnance toward him, and she left him and went to her father’s house, to Bethlehem in Judah; she was there some four months.
妾行淫离开丈夫, 回犹大的伯利恒, 到了父家, 在那里住了四个月.

19:3 So her husband set out, and he went after her to speak tenderly to her, to bring her back. He took with him his servant and a pair of donkeys. And she brought him to her father’s house, and the father of the young woman saw him and was glad to meet him.
她丈夫起来, 带着一个仆人,两匹驴去见她, 用好话劝她回来. 女子就引丈夫进入父家. 她父见了那人, 便欢欢喜喜地迎接.

19:4 His father-in-law, the young woman’s father, urged him to stay with him three days; and they ate and drank, and they spent the night there.
那人的岳父, 就是女子的父亲, 将那人留下住了三天. 于是二人一同吃喝,住宿.

19:5 On the fourth day, they rose early in the morning, and he prepared to go, but the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “Refresh yourself with a bit of food, and afterward you may go.”
到第四天, 利未人清早起来要走, 女子的父亲对女婿说: “请你吃点饭, 加添心力, 然后可以行路. ”

19:6 So the two of them sat and ate and drank together, and the father of the young woman said to the man, “Please, agree to spend the night and enjoy yourself.”
于是二人坐下一同吃喝. 女子的父亲对那人说: “请你再住一夜, 畅快你的心. ”

19:7 The man got up to go, but his father-in-law urged him, and he returned and spent the night there.
那人起来要走, 他岳父强留他, 他又住了一宿.

19:8 On the fifth day he rose early in the morning to go, and the father of the young woman said, “Please, enjoy yourself,” and they lingered until the day declined, and the two of them ate.
到第五天, 他清早起来要走, 女子的父亲说: “请你吃点饭, 加添心力, 等到日头偏西再走. ”于是二人一同吃饭.

19:9 And the man got up to go—he, his concubine, and his servant—but his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, said to him, “Please, the day has worn on to evening; please, spend the night, the day has drawn to a close. Spend the night here and enjoy yourself. You can rise early tomorrow for your journey and go to your home.”
那人同他的妾和仆人起来要走, 他岳父, 就是女子的父亲, 对他说: “看哪, 日头偏西了, 请你再住一夜; 天快晚了, 可以在这里住宿, 畅快你的心. 明天早早起行回家去. ”

19:10 But the man was not willing to spend the night, and he got up and went; and he arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine.
那人不愿再住一夜, 就备上那两匹驴, 带着妾起身走了, 来到耶布斯的对面(耶布斯就是耶路撒冷. )

19:11 They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent, and the servant said to his master, “Please, come, let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites, and let us spend the night in it.”
临近耶布斯的时候, 日头快要落了, 仆人对主人说: “我们不如进这耶布斯人的城里住宿. ”

19:12 But his master said to him, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, who are not from the Israelites; we will cross over up to Gibeah.”
主人回答说: “我们不可进不是以色列人住的外邦城, 不如过到基比亚去”;

19:13 And he said to his servant, “Come, let us approach one of these places; we will spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah.”
又对仆人说: “我们可以到一个地方, 或住在基比亚, 或住在拉玛. ”

19:14 So they crossed over and went their way, and the sun went down on them beside Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
他们就往前走. 将到便雅悯的基比亚, 日头已经落了;

19:15 And they turned aside there to enter and to spend the night at Gibeah. And they went and sat in the open square of the city, but no one took them in to spend the night.
他们进入基比亚要在那里住宿, 就坐在城里的街上, 因为无人接他们进家住宿.

19:16 Then behold, an old man was coming from his work from the field in the evening, and the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was dwelling as a foreigner in Gibeah. (The people of the place were descendants of Benjamin.)
晚上, 有一个老年人从田间做工回来. 他原是以法莲山地的人, 住在基比亚; 那地方的人却是便雅悯人.

19:17 And the old man raised his eyes and saw the traveler in the open square of the city, and he said, “Where are you going, and from where do you come?”
老年人举目看见客人坐在城里的街上, 就问他说: “你从哪里来? 要往哪里去? ”

19:18 And he said to him, “We are crossing over from Bethlehem in Judah up to the remote areas of the hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but now I am going to Yahweh’s house, but no one took me in to spend the night.
他回答说: “我们从犹大的伯利恒来, 要往以法莲山地那边去. 我原是那里的人, 到过犹大的伯利恒, 现在我往耶和华的殿去, 在这里无人接我进他的家.

19:19 There is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servant; there is no lack of anything.”
其实我有粮草可以喂驴, 我与我的妾, 并我的仆人, 有饼有酒, 并不缺少甚么. ”

19:20 And the old man said, “Peace to you. I will take care of your needs; however, you must not spend the night in the open square.”
老年人说: “愿你平安! 你所需用的我都给你, 只是不可在街上过夜. ”

19:21 So he brought him to his house, and he fed the donkeys; they washed their feet, ate, and drank.
于是领他们到家里, 喂上驴, 他们就洗脚吃喝.

19:22 While they were enjoying themselves, behold, the men of the city, the perverse lot, surrounded the house, pounding on the door. And they said to the old man, the owner of the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so that we may have sex with him.”
他们心里正欢畅的时候, 城中的匪徒围住房子, 连连叩门, 对房主老人说: “你把那进你家的人带出来, 我们要与他交合. ”

19:23 So the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not act wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not do this disgraceful thing.
那房主出来对他们说: “弟兄们哪, 不要这样作恶; 这人既然进了我的家, 你们就不要行这丑事.

19:24 Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please, let me bring them out; do violence to them, and do to them whatever you please. Do not do this disgraceful thing to this man.”
我有个女儿, 还是处女, 并有这人的妾, 我将她们领出来任凭你们玷辱她们, 只是向这人不可行这样的丑事. ”

19:25 But the men were not willing to listen to him, and the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they had intercourse with her, and they abused her all night until the morning; they let her go at the approach of dawn.
那些人却不听从他的话. 那人就把他的妾拉出去交给他们, 他们便与她交合, 终夜凌辱她, 直到天色快亮才放她去.

19:26 And the woman came as the morning appeared, and she fell at the entrance of the man’s house where her master was, until daylight.
天快亮的时候, 妇人回到她主人住宿的房门前, 就仆倒在地, 直到天亮.

19:27 In the morning her master got up, and he opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his journey, and behold, his concubine was falling at the entrance of the house, with her hand on the threshold.
早晨, 她的主人起来开了房门, 出去要行路, 不料那妇人仆倒在房门前, 两手搭在门槛上;

19:28 And he said to her, “Get up, let us go,” but there was no answer. So he put her on the donkey, and the man got up and went to his place.
就对妇人说: “起来, 我们走吧! ”妇人却不回答. 那人便将她驮在驴上, 起身回本处去了.

19:29 When he entered his house he took a knife, and he grasped his concubine and cut her into twelve pieces; and he sent her throughout the whole territory of Israel.
到了家里, 用刀将妾的尸身切成十二块, 使人拿着传送以色列的四境.

19:30 All who saw it said, “Nothing like this has ever been since the Israelites went up from the land of Egypt until this day. Take note of it, consider it, and speak up.”
凡看见的人都说: “从以色列人出埃及地, 直到今日, 这样的事没有行过, 也没有见过. 现在应当思想, 大家商议当怎样办理. ”

Judges - Chapter 20

20:1 All the Israelites went out, from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, and they gathered as one body to Yahweh at Mizpah.
于是以色列从但到别是巴, 以及住基列地的众人都出来, 如同一人, 聚集在米斯巴耶和华面前.

20:2 And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand sword-bearing infantry.
以色列民的首领, 就是各支派的军长, 都站在神百姓的会中; 拿刀的步兵共有四十万.

20:3 (The descendants of Benjamin heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites said, “Tell us, how did this evil act occur?”
以色列人上到米斯巴, 便雅悯人都听见了. 以色列人说: “请你将这件恶事的情由对我们说明. ”

20:4 The Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered and said, “I came to Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
那利未人, 就是被害之妇人的丈夫, 回答说: “我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚住宿.

20:5 The lords of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me, and they raped my concubine, and she died.
基比亚人夜间起来, 围了我住的房子, 想要杀我, 又将我的妾强奸致死.

20:6 Then I grabbed my concubine and cut her into pieces, and I sent her throughout all the territory of Israel’s inheritance; for they committed a shameful and disgraceful thing in Israel.
我就把我妾的尸身切成块子, 使人拿着传送以色列得为业的全地, 因为基比亚人在以色列中行了凶淫丑恶的事.

20:7 Look, all you Israelites! Make your decision and advice here.”
你们以色列人都当筹划商议. ”

20:8 All the people got up as one body, saying, “Not one of us will go to his tent, or will any of us return to his house.
众民都起来如同一人, 说: “我们连一人都不回自己帐棚,自己房屋去.

20:9 So then, this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against her by lot.
我们向基比亚人必这样行, 照所掣的签去攻击他们.

20:10 We will take ten men of one hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and one thousand of ten thousand, to bring provisions to the troops, to repay them when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin for all the disgraceful things they did in Israel.”
我们要在以色列各支派中, 一百人挑取十人, 一千人挑取百人, 一万人挑取千人, 为民运粮, 等大众到了便雅悯的基比亚, 就照基比亚人在以色列中所行的丑事征伐他们. ”

20:11 And all the men of Israel were gathered to the city as one body united.
于是以色列众人彼此连合如同一人, 聚集攻击那城.

20:12 Then the tribes of Israel sent men throughout all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that happened among you?
以色列众支派打发人去, 问便雅悯支派的各家说: “你们中间怎么做了这样的恶事呢?

20:13 So then, hand over the men, the perverse lot, who are in Gibeah, so that we may kill them and purge this wickedness from Israel.” But the descendants of Benjamin were not willing to listen to the voice of their relatives, the Israelites.
现在你们要将基比亚的那些匪徒交出来, 我们好治死他们, 从以色列中除掉这恶. ”便雅悯人却不肯听从他们弟兄以色列人的话.

20:14 And the descendants of Benjamin were gathered from the cities to Gibeah to go out for battle against the Israelites.
便雅悯人从他们的各城里出来, 聚集到了基比亚, 要与以色列人打仗.

20:15 From the cities the descendants of Benjamin were counted on that day twenty-six thousand sword-wielding men, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred well-trained men.
那时便雅悯人从各城里点出拿刀的, 共有二万六千; 另外还有基比亚人点出七百精兵.

20:16 From all these troops were seven hundred well-trained men who were left-handed; each one could sling with a stone at a hair and not miss.
在众军之中有拣选的七百精兵, 都是左手便利的, 能用机弦甩石打人, 毫发不差.

20:17 And the men of Israel besides Benjamin were counted four hundred thousand sword-wielding men; all were warriors.
便雅悯人之外, 点出以色列人拿刀的, 共有四十万, 都是战士.

20:18 Then the Israelites got up and went up to Bethel, and they inquired of God, saying, “Who will go up first for the battle against the descendants of Benjamin?” And Yahweh said, “Judah will go first.”
以色列人就起来, 到伯特利去求问神说: “我们中间谁当首先上去与便雅悯人争战呢? ”耶和华说: “犹大当先上去. ”

20:19 And the Israelites got up in the morning, and they encamped against Gibeah.
以色列人早晨起来, 对着基比亚安营.

20:20 Then the men of Israel marched out for the battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel took up positions against them for battle at Gibeah.
以色列人出来, 要与便雅悯人打仗, 就在基比亚前摆阵.

20:21 The descendants of Benjamin went out from Gibeah, and they struck down on that day twenty-two thousand men of Israel to the ground.
便雅悯人就从基比亚出来, 当日杀死以色列人二万二千.

20:22 But the troops, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and again they arranged their battle lines in the place where they had arranged themselves the first day.
以色列人彼此奋勇, 仍在头一日摆阵的地方又摆阵.

20:23 The Israelites went up and wept before Yahweh until evening and inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Should we again draw near from the battle against the descendants of Benjamin, our relatives?” And Yahweh said, “Go up against them.”
未摆阵之先, 以色列人上去, 在耶和华面前哭号, 直到晚上, 求问耶和华说: “我们再去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗可以不可以? ”耶和华说: “可以上去攻击他们. ”

20:24 And the Israelites drew near to the descendants of Benjamin on the second day.
第二日, 以色列人就上前攻击便雅悯人.

20:25 And Benjamin went out from Gibeah to meet them on the second day, and they struck down the Israelites again, eighteen thousand men to the ground; all of these were sword-wielding.
便雅悯人也在这日从基比亚出来, 与以色列人接战, 又杀死他们一万八千, 都是拿刀的.

20:26 And all the Israelites and all the troops went up and came to Bethel and wept; and they sat there before Yahweh and fasted on that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before Yahweh.
以色列众人就上到伯特利, 坐在耶和华面前哭号, 当日禁食直到晚上; 又在耶和华面前献燔祭和平安祭.

20:27 And the Israelites inquired of Yahweh (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
那时, 神的约柜在那里; 亚伦的孙子,以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈侍立在约柜前. 以色列人问耶和华说: “我们当再出去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗呢? 还是罢兵呢? ”耶和华说: “你们当上去, 因为明日我必将他们交在你们手中. ”

20:28 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it to minister in those days), saying, “Should we go out once more to battle against the descendants of Benjamin our relatives, or should we stop?” And Yahweh said, “Go up tomorrow; I will give them into your hand.”
a

20:29 So Israel stationed an ambush all around Gibeah.
以色列人在基比亚的四围设下伏兵.

20:30 And the Israelites went up against the descendants of Benjamin on the third day, and they took up positions against Gibeah as before.
第三日, 以色列人又上去攻击便雅悯人, 在基比亚前摆阵, 与前两次一样.

20:31 The descendants of Benjamin went out to meet the troops, and they lured them away from the city and began to inflict casualties on the troops as before, on the main road, one of which goes up to Bethel, the other to Gibeah; and in the field there were about thirty men of Israel.
便雅悯人也出来迎敌, 就被引诱离城; 在田间两条路上, 一通伯特利, 一通基比亚, 像前两次, 动手杀死以色列人约有三十个.

20:32 And the descendants of Benjamin thought, “They are being defeated before us as previously,” and the Israelites said, “Let us flee and lure them away from the city to the main roads.”
便雅悯人说: “他们仍旧败在我们面前. ”但以色列人说: “我们不如逃跑, 引诱他们离开城到路上来. ”

20:33 And all the men of Israel got up from their places and took up positions in Baal Tamar; and the ambush of Israel charged from their places, from the vicinity of Gibeah.
以色列众人都起来, 在巴力‧他玛摆阵, 以色列的伏兵从马利‧迦巴埋伏的地方冲上前去.

20:34 Then ten thousand well-trained men from all Israel came out against Gibeah, and the battle became fierce; they did not know that disaster was about to close in on them.
有以色列人中的一万精兵, 来到基比亚前接战, 势派甚是凶猛; 便雅悯人却不知道灾祸临近了.

20:35 And Yahweh defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and the Israelites destroyed on that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them sword-wielding.
耶和华使以色列人杀败便雅悯人. 那日, 以色列人杀死便雅悯人二万五千一百, 都是拿刀的.

20:36 The descendants of Benjamin saw that they were defeated, and the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they trusted the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
于是便雅悯人知道自己败了. 先是以色列人; 因为靠著在基比亚前所设的伏兵, 就在便雅悯人面前诈败.

20:37 And the ambush came quickly and advanced against Gibeah, and it put the whole city to the sword.
伏兵急忙闯进基比亚, 用刀杀死全城的人.

20:38 Now the appointed time for the men of Israel with the ambush was that they sent up for them a great amount of smoke from the city.
以色列人预先同伏兵约定在城内放火, 以烟气上腾为号.

20:39 And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to inflict casualties on about thirty men of Israel because they thought, “They will be completely defeated before us as in the first battle.”
以色列人临退阵的时候, 便雅悯人动手杀死以色列人, 约有三十个, 就说: “他们仍像前次被我们杀败了. ”

20:40 And the cloud of smoke began to go up from the city in a column of smoke, and Benjamin turned backward, and behold, the whole city was going up in smoke!
当烟气如柱从城中上腾的时候, 便雅悯人回头观看, 见全城的烟气冲天.

20:41 And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed because they saw that disaster was closing in on them.
以色列人又转身回来, 便雅悯人就甚惊惶, 因为看见灾祸临到自己了.

20:42 And they retreated from before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, but the battle caught up to them, and those who came from the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
他们在以色列人面前转身往旷野逃跑; 以色列人在后面追杀. 那从各城里出来的, 也都夹攻杀灭他们.

20:43 They surrounded Benjamin; they pursued them without rest and trod them down opposite Gibeah to the east.
以色列人围绕便雅悯人, 追赶他们, 在他们歇脚之处,对着日出之地的基比亚践踏他们.

20:44 And eighteen thousand men from Benjamin fell, all of them able men.
便雅悯人死了的有一万八千, 都是勇士.

20:45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon, but they cut down on the main roads five thousand men; and they pursued after them up to Gidom, and they struck down two thousand men.
其余的人转身向旷野逃跑, 往临门磐去. 以色列人在道路上杀了他们五千人, 如拾取遗穗一样, 追到基顿又杀了他们二千人.

20:46 So all of Benjamin who fell on that day were twenty-five thousand sword-wielding men; all of these were able men.
那日便雅悯死了的共有二万五千人, 都是拿刀的勇士.

20:47 But six hundred turned and fled toward the wilderness, to the rock of Rimmon, and they remained at the rock of Rimmon for four months.
只剩下六百人, 转身向旷野逃跑, 到了临门磐, 就在那里住了四个月.

20:48 And the men of Israel returned to the descendants of Benjamin, and they put them to the edge of the sword, both the inhabitants of city and the animals that were found; they also set on fire all the cities that they found.
以色列人又转到便雅悯地, 将各城的人和牲畜, 并一切所遇见的, 都用刀杀尽, 又放火烧了一切城邑.

Judges - Chapter 21

21:1 The men of Israel had sworn at Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”
以色列人在米斯巴曾起誓说: “我们都不将女儿给便雅悯人为妻. ”

21:2 And the people of Bethel came and sat there until evening before God, and they lifted their voices and wept bitterly.
以色列人来到伯特利, 坐在神面前直到晚上, 放声痛哭,

21:3 And they said, “Why, Yahweh, God of Israel, has it happened today in Israel that one tribe is lacking from Israel?”
说: “耶和华─以色列的神啊, 为何以色列中有这样缺了一支派的事呢? ”

21:4 On the next day the people rose early, and they built there an altar and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.
次日清早, 百姓起来, 在那里筑了一座坛, 献燔祭和平安祭.

21:5 And the Israelites said, “Who in the assembly has not come up from all the tribes of Israel to Yahweh?” For a solemn oath was taken concerning whoever did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah, saying, “He will certainly be put to death.”
以色列人彼此问说: “以色列各支派中, 谁没有同会众上到耶和华面前来呢? ”先是以色列人起过大誓说, 凡不上米斯巴到耶和华面前来的, 必将他治死.

21:6 But the Israelites had compassion for Benjamin, their relatives, and they said, “Today one tribe is cut off from Israel.
以色列人为他们的弟兄便雅悯后悔, 说: “如今以色列中绝了一个支派了.

21:7 What will we do for them—for the ones being left over—for wives? For we have sworn by Yahweh not to give to them our daughters as wives.”
我们既在耶和华面前起誓说, 必不将我们的女儿给便雅悯人为妻, 现在我们当怎样办理,使他们剩下的人有妻呢? ”

21:8 They asked, “Which one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Yahweh at Mizpah?” And behold, no one came from Jabesh-gilead to the camp, to the assembly.
又彼此问说: “以色列支派中谁没有上米斯巴到耶和华面前来呢? ”他们就查出基列‧雅比没有一人进营到会众那里;

21:9 The people were counted, and no one was there from the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead.
因为百姓被数的时候, 没有一个基列‧雅比人在那里.

21:10 And the congregation sent there twelve thousand men from the troops, and they commanded them, saying, “Go, strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, and the women and children.
会众就打发一万二千大勇士, 吩咐他们说: “你们去用刀将基列‧雅比人连妇女带孩子都击杀了.

21:11 This is the thing you will do: you will destroy every man and every woman who had sex with a man.”
所当行的就是这样: 要将一切男子和已嫁的女子尽行杀戮. ”

21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had not had sex with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
他们在基列‧雅比人中, 遇见了四百个未嫁的处女, 就带到迦南地的示罗营里.

21:13 Then the congregation sent and spoke all this to the descendants of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and they assured them they would not be hurt.
全会众打发人到临门磐的便雅悯人那里, 向他们说和睦的话.

21:14 And Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave to them the women whom they kept alive from Jabesh-gilead; but they were not enough for them.
当时便雅悯人回来了, 以色列人就把所存活基列‧雅比的女子给他们为妻, 还是不够.

21:15 And the people felt sorry for Benjamin because Yahweh weakened the tribes of Israel.
百姓为便雅悯人后悔, 因为耶和华使以色列人缺了一个支派(原文是使以色列中有了破口).

21:16 So the elders of the congregation said, “What should we do for the remaining ones for wives, since the women from Benjamin have been destroyed?”
会中的长老说: “便雅悯中的女子既然除灭了, 我们当怎样办理,使那余剩的人有妻呢? ”

21:17 And they said, “There must be a remnant for Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be blotted out from Israel.
又说: “便雅悯逃脱的人当有地业, 免得以色列中涂抹了一个支派.

21:18 But we cannot give them wives from our daughters.” (For the Israelites swore, saying, “Cursed be anyone who gives a wife to Benjamin.”)
只是我们不能将自己的女儿给他们为妻; 因为以色列人曾起誓说, 有将女儿给便雅悯人为妻的, 必受咒诅. ”

21:19 And they said, “Look, the annual feast of Yahweh is in Shiloh, which is to the north of Bethel, east of the main road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.
他们又说: “在利波拿以南, 伯特利以北, 在示剑大路以东的示罗, 年年有耶和华的节期”;

21:20 They instructed the descendants of Benjamin, saying, “Go, lie in ambush in the vineyards,
就吩咐便雅悯人说: “你们去, 在葡萄园中埋伏.

21:21 and watch and look; when the daughters of Shiloh dance in the dances, come out from the vineyards and seize for yourselves a wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
若看见示罗的女子出来跳舞, 就从葡萄园出来, 在示罗的女子中各抢一个为妻, 回便雅悯地去.

21:22 And if their fathers or their brothers complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Allow us to have them, because we did not capture a wife for each man in the battle, and because you did not give them to them, or else you would have been guilty.’ ”
他们的父亲或是弟兄若来与我们争竞, 我们就说: ‘求你们看我们的情面, 施恩给这些人, 因我们在争战的时候没有给他们留下女子为妻. 这也不是你们将女子给他们的; 若是你们给的, 就算有罪. ’”

21:23 The descendants of Benjamin did likewise, and they took wives for each of them from the dancers whom they seized, and they went and returned to their territory, and they rebuilt the cities and they lived in them.
于是便雅悯人照样而行, 按着他们的数目从跳舞的女子中抢去为妻, 就回自己的地业去, 又重修城邑居住.

21:24 So the Israelites dispersed from there at that time according to tribe and family; and they went out from there, each one to their own territory.
当时以色列人离开那里, 各归本支派,本宗族,本地业去了.

21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel; each one did what was right in his own eyes.
那时, 以色列中没有王, 各人任意而行.

Ruth (路得记)

Ruth - Chapter 1

1:1 And it happened in the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem of Judah went to reside in the countryside of Moab—he and his wife and his two sons.
当士师秉政的时候, 国中遭遇饥荒. 在犹大的伯利恒, 有一个人带着妻子和两个儿子往摩押地去寄居.

1:2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephraimites from Bethlehem in Judah. And they went to the countryside of Moab and remained there.
这人名叫以利米勒, 他的妻名叫拿俄米; 他两个儿子, 一个名叫玛伦, 一个名叫基连, 都是犹大伯利恒的以法他人. 他们到了摩押地, 就住在那里.

1:3 But Elimelech the husband of Naomi died and she was left behind with her two sons.
后来拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒死了, 剩下妇人和她两个儿子.

1:4 And they took for themselves Moabite wives. The name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other was Ruth. And they lived there about ten years.
这两个儿子娶了摩押女子为妻, 一个名叫俄珥巴, 一个名叫路得, 在那里住了约有十年.

1:5 But both Mahlon and Kilion died, and the woman was left without her two sons and without her husband.
玛伦和基连二人也死了, 剩下拿俄米, 没有丈夫, 也没有儿子.

1:6 And she got up, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned from the countryside of Moab, because she had heard in the countryside of Moab that Yahweh had come to the aid of his people to give food to them.
她就与两个儿妇起身, 要从摩押地归回; 因为她在摩押地听见耶和华眷顾自己的百姓, 赐粮食与他们.

1:7 So she set out from the place where she was and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
于是她和两个儿妇起行离开所住的地方, 要回犹大地去.

1:8 But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, each of you return to her mother’s house. May Yahweh show kindness to you just as you did with the dead and with me.
拿俄米对两个儿妇说: “你们各人回娘家去吧. 愿耶和华恩待你们, 像你们恩待已死的人与我一样!

1:9 May Yahweh grant that you find a resting place, each in the house of her husband.” And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and cried.
愿耶和华使你们各在新夫家中得平安! ”于是拿俄米与她们亲嘴. 她们就放声而哭,

1:10 And they said to her, “No, we want to return with you to your people.”
说: “不然, 我们必与你一同回你本国去. ”

1:11 And Naomi said, “Return, my daughters. Why do you still want to go with me? Are there sons in my womb that may be husbands for you?
拿俄米说: “我女儿们哪, 回去吧! 为何要跟我去呢? 我还能生子作你们的丈夫吗?

1:12 Turn back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should think there is hope for me, even if I should have a husband this night, and even if I should bear sons,
我女儿们哪, 回去吧! 我年纪老迈, 不能再有丈夫; 即或说, 我还有指望, 今夜有丈夫可以生子,

1:13 would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is far more bitter to me than to you. For the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me.”
你们岂能等著他们长大呢? 你们岂能等着他们不嫁别人呢? 我女儿们哪, 不要这样. 我为你们的缘故甚是愁苦, 因为耶和华伸手攻击我. ”

1:14 And they lifted up their voices and cried again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.
两个儿妇又放声而哭, 俄珥巴与婆婆亲嘴而别, 只是路得舍不得拿俄米.

1:15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods. Return after your sister-in-law too.”
拿俄米说: “看哪, 你嫂子已经回她本国和她所拜的神那里去了, 你也跟着你嫂子回去吧! ”

1:16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you! For where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God.
路得说: “不要催我回去不跟随你. 你往哪里去, 我也往那里去; 你在哪里住宿, 我也在那里住宿; 你的国就是我的国, 你的神就是我的神.

1:17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. So may Yahweh do to me, and even more, unless death separates you and me!”
你在哪里死, 我也在那里死, 也葬在那里. 除非死能使你我相离! 不然, 愿耶和华重重地降罚与我. ”

1:18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.
拿俄米见路得定意要跟随自己去, 就不再劝她了.

1:19 So the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, all of the town was stirred because of them. And they said, “Is this Naomi?”
于是二人同行, 来到伯利恒. 她们到了伯利恒, 合城的人就都惊讶. 妇女们说: “这是拿俄米吗? ”

1:20 And she said to them, “You should not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for Shaddai has caused me to be very bitter.
拿俄米对他们说: “不要叫我拿俄米(就是甜的意思), 要叫我玛拉(就是苦的意思), 因为全能者使我受了大苦.

1:21 I went away full, but Yahweh brought me back empty-handed! Why call me Naomi when Yahweh has testified against me and Shaddai has brought calamity upon me?”
我满满地出去, 耶和华使我空空地回来. 耶和华降祸与我; 全能者使我受苦. 既是这样, 你们为何还叫我拿俄米呢? ”

1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, returning from the countryside of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the harvest of barley.
拿俄米和她儿妇摩押女子路得, 从摩押地回来到伯利恒, 正是动手割大麦的时候.

Ruth - Chapter 2

2:1 Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a prominent rich man from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
拿俄米的丈夫以利米勒的亲族中, 有一个人名叫波阿斯, 是个大财主.

2:2 And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after someone in whose eyes I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
摩押女子路得对拿俄米说: “容我往田间去, 我蒙谁的恩, 就在谁的身后拾取麦穗. ”拿俄米说: “女儿啊, 你只管去. ”

2:3 So she went and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers. And she happened by chance upon the tract of field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
路得就去了, 来到田间, 在收割的人身后拾取麦穗. 她恰巧到了以利米勒本族的人波阿斯那块田里.

2:4 And look, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” And they said to him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
波阿斯正从伯利恒来, 对收割的人说: “愿耶和华与你们同在! ”他们回答说: “愿耶和华赐福与你! ”

2:5 And Boaz said to his servant in charge of the reapers, “To whom does this young woman belong?”
波阿斯问监管收割的仆人说: “那是谁家的女子? ”

2:6 And the servant in charge of the reapers said, “She is a Moabite girl returning with Naomi from the countryside of Moab.
监管收割的仆人回答说: “是那摩押女子, 跟随拿俄米从摩押地回来的.

2:7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and let me gather among the sheaves behind the reapers.’ So she came and remained from the morning up to now. She is sitting for a little while in the house.”
她说: ‘请你容我跟着收割的人拾取打捆剩下的麦穗. ’她从早晨直到如今, 除了在屋子里坐一会儿, 常在这里. ”

2:8 And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen carefully, my daughter, go no longer to glean in another field. Moreover, do not leave from this one, but stay close with my young women.
波阿斯对路得说: “女儿啊, 听我说, 不要往别人田里拾取麦穗, 也不要离开这里, 要常与我使女们在一处.

2:9 Keep your eyes on the field that they reap and go after them. Have I not ordered the servants not to bother you? And if you get thirsty, you shall go to the containers and drink from where the servants have drawn.”
我的仆人在那块田收割, 你就跟着他们去. 我已经吩咐仆人不可欺负你; 你若渴了, 就可以到器皿那里喝仆人打来的水. ”

2:10 And she fell on her face and bowed down to the ground and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes by recognizing me—for I am a foreigner?”
路得就俯伏在地叩拜, 对他说: “我既是外邦人, 怎么蒙你的恩, 这样顾恤我呢? ”

2:11 And Boaz answered and said to her, “All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband was fully told to me. How you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and you went to a people that you did not know before.
波阿斯回答说: “自从你丈夫死后, 凡你向婆婆所行的, 并你离开父母和本地, 到素不认识的民中, 这些事人全都告诉我了.

2:12 May Yahweh reward your work and may a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you came to take refuge.”
愿耶和华照你所行的赏赐你. 你来投靠耶和华─以色列神的翅膀下, 愿你满得他的赏赐. ”

2:13 And she said, “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord, for you have comforted me and have spoken kindly to your servant, and I am not one of your servants.”
路得说: “我主啊, 愿在你眼前蒙恩. 我虽然不及你的一个使女, 你还用慈爱的话安慰我的心. ”

2:14 And Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here and eat from the bread and dip your morsel in the wine vinegar.” So she sat beside the gleaners, and he offered to her roasted grain. And she ate and was satisfied, and she had some left over.
到了吃饭的时候, 波阿斯对路得说: “你到这里来吃饼, 将饼蘸在醋里. ”路得就在收割的人旁边坐下; 他们把烘了的穗子递给她. 她吃饱了, 还有余剩的.

2:15 And she got up to glean, and Boaz instructed his servants saying, “Let her also glean between the sheaves and do not reproach her.
她起来又拾取麦穗, 波阿斯吩咐仆人说: “她就是在捆中拾取麦穗, 也可以容她, 不可羞辱她;

2:16 And also pull out for her from your bundles and leave it so that she may glean—and do not rebuke her.”
并要从捆里抽出些来, 留在地下任她拾取, 不可叱吓她. ”

2:17 So she gleaned in the field until the evening and she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
这样, 路得在田间拾取麦穗, 直到晚上, 将所拾取的打了, 约有一伊法大麦.

2:18 And she picked it up and went to the town. Her mother-in-law saw how much she had gleaned. And she took it out and gave to her what she had left over after being satisfied.
她就把所拾取的带进城去给婆婆看, 又把她吃饱了所剩的给了婆婆.

2:19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed.” And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The name of the man who I worked with today is Boaz.”
婆婆问她说: “你今日在哪里拾取麦穗, 在哪里做工呢? 愿那顾恤你的得福. ”路得就告诉婆婆说: “我今日在一个名叫波阿斯的人那里做工. ”

2:20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, whose loyal love has not forsaken the living or the dead.” And Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative for us, he is one of our redeemers.”
拿俄米对儿妇说: “愿那人蒙耶和华赐福, 因为他不断地恩待活人死人. ”拿俄米又说: “那是我们本族的人, 是一个至近的亲属. ”

2:21 And Ruth the Moabite said, “Also, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close with the servants which are mine until they have finished all of the harvest which is mine.’ ”
摩押女子路得说: “他对我说: ‘你要紧随我的仆人拾取麦穗, 直等他们收完了我的庄稼. ’”

2:22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidservants so that you will not be bothered in another field.”
拿俄米对儿妇路得说: “女儿啊, 你跟着他的使女出去, 不叫人遇见你在别人田间, 这才为好. ”

2:23 So she stayed close with the maidservants of Boaz to glean until the end of the barley harvest and wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
于是路得与波阿斯的使女常在一处拾取麦穗, 直到收完了大麦和小麦. 路得仍与婆婆同住.

Ruth - Chapter 3

3:1 Now Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek for you security that things may be good for you?
路得的婆婆拿俄米对她说: “女儿啊, 我不当为你找个安身之处, 使你享福吗?

3:2 So then, is not Boaz our kinsman whose maidservants you were with? Look, he is winnowing the barley at the threshing floor tonight.
你与波阿斯的使女常在一处, 波阿斯不是我们的亲族吗? 他今夜在场上簸大麦;

3:3 Wash, anoint yourself, put your clothing on, and go down to the threshing floor. Do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes eating and drinking.
你要沐浴抹膏, 换上衣服, 下到场上, 却不要使那人认出你来. 你等他吃喝完了,

3:4 And when he lies, take notice of the place where he lies. And you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he shall tell you what to do.”
到他睡的时候, 你看准他睡的地方, 就进去掀开他脚上的被, 躺卧在那里, 他必告诉你所当做的事. ”

3:5 And she said to her, “I will do all that you say.”
路得说: “凡你所吩咐的, 我必遵行. ”

3:6 And she went down to the threshing floor and did all that her mother-in-law had instructed her.
路得就下到场上, 照她婆婆所吩咐她的而行.

3:7 And Boaz ate and drank until his heart was merry and then he came to lie at the end of the grain heap. And she came in quietly and uncovered his feet and lay down.
波阿斯吃喝完了, 心里欢畅, 就去睡在麦堆旁边. 路得便悄悄地来掀开他脚上的被, 躺卧在那里.

3:8 And it happened in the middle of the night the man was startled and he reached out and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.
到了夜半, 那人忽然惊醒, 翻过身来, 不料有女子躺在他的脚下.

3:9 And he said, “Who are you?” And she said, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your garment over your servant because you are a redeemer.”
他就说: “你是谁? ”回答说: “我是你的婢女路得. 求你用你的衣襟遮盖我, 因为你是我一个至近的亲属. ”

3:10 And he said, “You are blessed by Yahweh my daughter. You did better in this last kindness than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.
波阿斯说: “女儿啊, 愿你蒙耶和华赐福. 你末后的恩比先前更大; 因为少年人无论贫富, 你都没有跟从.

3:11 And so then my daughter, do not be afraid. All that you ask I will do for you, for the entire assembly of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
女儿啊, 现在不要惧怕, 凡你所说的, 我必照着行; 我本城的人都知道你是个贤德的女子.

3:12 Now truly I am a redeemer, but there is also a redeemer of a closer relationship than me.
我实在是你一个至近的亲属, 只是还有一个人比我更近.

3:13 Stay tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, good; but if he is not willing to redeem, then as Yahweh lives, I will redeem you. Lie down until the morning.”
你今夜在这里住宿, 明早他若肯为你尽亲属的本分, 就由他吧! 倘若不肯, 我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 我必为你尽了本分, 你只管躺到天亮. ”

3:14 So she lay at his feet until morning and got up before anyone could recognize each other. And he said, “It must not be known that you came to the threshing floor.”
路得便在他脚下躺到天快亮, 人彼此不能辨认的时候就起来了. 波阿斯说: “不可使人知道有女子到场上来”;

3:15 And he said, “Bring the cloak that is on you and hold it out.” And she held it out and he measured six measures of barley and put it on her cloak. Then she went into the city.
又对路得说: “打开你所披的外衣. ”她打开了, 波阿斯就撮了六簸箕大麦, 帮她扛在肩上, 她便进城去了.

3:16 And she came to her mother-in-law, and she said, “How did it go for you, my daughter?” And she told her all that the man did for her.
路得回到婆婆那里, 婆婆说: “女儿啊, 怎么样了? ”路得就将那人向她所行的述说了一遍,

3:17 And she said, “These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, ‘You shall not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.’ ”
又说: “那人给了我六簸箕大麦, 对我说: ‘你不可空手回去见你的婆婆. ’”

3:18 And she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today.”
婆婆说: “女儿啊, 你只管安坐等候, 看这事怎样成就, 因为那人今日不办成这事必不休息. ”

Ruth - Chapter 4

4:1 And Boaz had gone up to the city gate and sat there. And look, the redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken was passing by. And he said, “Come over here to sit, friend.” And he came over and sat.
波阿斯到了城门, 坐在那里, 恰巧波阿斯所说的那至近的亲属经过. 波阿斯说: “某人哪, 你来坐在这里. ”他就来坐下.

4:2 And he took ten men from the elders of the city and said, “Sit here.” And they sat.
波阿斯又从本城的长老中拣选了十人, 对他们说: “请你们坐在这里. ”他们就都坐下.

4:3 And he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who returned from the countryside of Moab, is selling the tract of land which was for our brother Elimelech.
波阿斯对那至近的亲属说: “从摩押地回来的拿俄米, 现在要卖我们族兄以利米勒的那块地;

4:4 And I thought I would tell you and say, ‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting and before the elders of my people,’ if you want to redeem it, redeem it. But if you do not want to redeem, tell me so that I may know, for there is no one except you to redeem it, and I am after you.” And he said, “I want to redeem it.”
我想当赎那块地的是你, 其次是我, 以外再没有别人了. 你可以在这里的人面前和我本国的长老面前说明, 你若肯赎就赎, 若不肯赎就告诉我. ”那人回答说: “我肯赎. ”

4:5 And Boaz said, “On the day of your acquiring the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the wife of the dead man, in order to raise up for the name of the dead his inheritance.”
波阿斯说: “你从拿俄米手中买这地的时候, 也当娶(原文是买; 十节同)死人的妻摩押女子路得, 使死人在产业上存留他的名. ”

4:6 And the redeemer said, “I am not able to redeem for myself, lest I ruin my inheritance. You redeem for yourself my kinsman-redemption, for I am not able to redeem it.”
那人说: “这样我就不能赎了, 恐怕于我的产业有碍. 你可以赎我所当赎的, 我不能赎了. ”

4:7 (Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the kinsman-redemption and transfer of property: to confirm the matter, a man removed his sandal and gave it to his fellow countryman. This was the manner of attesting in Israel.)
从前, 在以色列中要定夺甚么事, 或赎回, 或交易, 这人就脱鞋给那人. 以色列人都以此为证据.

4:8 So the redeemer said to Boaz, “Acquire it for yourself,” and he removed his sandal.
那人对波阿斯说: “你自己买吧! ”于是将鞋脱下来了.

4:9 And Boaz said to the elders and all of the people, “You are witnesses today that I have acquired all that was for Elimelech and that was for Kilion and Mahlon from the hand of Naomi.
波阿斯对长老和众民说: “你们今日作见证, 凡属以利米勒和基连,玛伦的, 我都从拿俄米手中置买了;

4:10 And also Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, I have acquired as a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance, so that the name of the dead may not be cut off from his relatives and from the gate of his birth place. You are witnesses today.”
又娶了玛伦的妻摩押女子路得为妻, 好在死人的产业上存留他的名, 免得他的名在本族本乡灭没. 你们今日可以作见证. ”

4:11 And all of the people who were at the gate and the elders said, “We are witnesses. May Yahweh make the woman coming into your house as Rachel and as Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you have strength in Ephrathah and bestow a name in Bethlehem.
在城门坐着的众民和长老都说: “我们作见证. 愿耶和华使进你家的这女子, 像建立以色列家的拉结,利亚二人一样. 又愿你在以法他得亨通, 在伯利恒得名声.

4:12 And may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah from the offspring that Yahweh will give to you from this young woman.”
愿耶和华从这少年女子赐你后裔, 使你的家像她玛从犹大所生法勒斯的家一般. ”

4:13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. And he went in to her, and Yahweh enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.
于是, 波阿斯娶了路得为妻, 与她同房. 耶和华使她怀孕生了一个儿子.

4:14 And the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be Yahweh who today did not leave you without a redeemer! And may his name be renowned in Israel!
妇人们对拿俄米说: “耶和华是应当称颂的! 因为今日没有撇下你, 使你无至近的亲属. 愿这孩子在以色列中得名声.

4:15 He shall be for you a restorer of life and a sustainer in your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is better for you than seven sons, has borne him.”
他必提起你的精神, 奉养你的老, 因为是爱慕你的那儿妇所生的. 有这儿妇比有七个儿子还好! ”

4:16 And Naomi took the child and she put him on her bosom and became his nurse.
拿俄米就把孩子抱在怀中, 作他的养母.

4:17 And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
邻舍的妇人说: “拿俄米得孩子了! ”就给孩子起名叫俄备得. 这俄备得是耶西的父, 耶西是大卫的父.

4:18 Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron,
法勒斯的后代记在下面: 法勒斯生希斯仑;

4:19 and Hezron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadab,
希斯仑生兰; 兰生亚米拿达;

4:20 and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon,
亚米拿达生拿顺; 拿顺生撒门;

4:21 and Salmon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Obed,
撒门生波阿斯; 波阿斯生俄备得;

4:22 and Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.
俄备得生耶西; 耶西生大卫.

I Samuel (撒母耳记上)

I Samuel - Chapter 1

1:1 There was a certain man from Ramathaim Zophim, from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
以法莲山地的拉玛．琐非有一个以法莲人, 名叫以利加拿, 是苏弗的玄孙, 托户的曾孙, 以利户的孙子, 耶罗罕的儿子.

1:2 He had two wives; the name of the first was Hannah, and the name of the second was Peninnah. Now Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
他有两个妻: 一名哈拿, 一名毘尼拿. 毘尼拿有儿女, 哈拿没有儿女.

1:3 Now this man used to go up from his town year by year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of hosts in Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to Yahweh.
这人每年从本城上到示罗, 敬拜祭祀万军之耶和华; 在那里有以利的两个儿子何弗尼,非尼哈当耶和华的祭司.

1:4 On the day Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
以利加拿每逢献祭的日子, 将祭肉分给他的妻毘尼拿和毘尼拿所生的儿女;

1:5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, because he loved Hannah, though Yahweh had closed her womb.
给哈拿的却是双分, 因为他爱哈拿. 无奈耶和华不使哈拿生育.

1:6 (Now her rival wife would provoke her severely in order to upset her because Yahweh had closed her womb.)
毘尼拿见耶和华不使哈拿生育, 就作她的对头, 大大激动她, 要使她生气.

1:7 And so he used to do year after year; whenever she went up to the house of Yahweh, she would provoke her so that she would weep and would not eat.
每年上到耶和华殿的时候, 以利加拿都以双分给哈拿; 毘尼拿仍是激动她, 以致她哭泣不吃饭.

1:8 So Elkanah her husband would say to her: “Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat? And why are you heartsick? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
她丈夫以利加拿对她说: “哈拿啊, 你为何哭泣, 不吃饭, 心里愁闷呢? 有我不比十个儿子还好吗? ”

1:9 Then Hannah got up after eating and drinking at Shiloh. (Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the temple of Yahweh.)
他们在示罗吃喝完了, 哈拿就站起来. 祭司以利在耶和华殿的门框旁边, 坐在自己的位上.

1:10 She was deeply troubled, so she prayed to Yahweh and wept bitterly.
哈拿心里愁苦, 就痛痛哭泣, 祈祷耶和华,

1:11 She made a vow and said: “O Yahweh of hosts, if you will look with compassion on the misery of your female servant, and will remember me, and not forget your female servant, and will give to your female servant a male child then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and a razor will never pass over his head.”
许愿说: “万军之耶和华啊, 你若垂顾婢女的苦情, 眷念不忘婢女, 赐我一个儿子, 我必使他终身归与耶和华, 不用剃头刀剃他的头. ”

1:12 While she continued to pray before Yahweh, Eli was observing her mouth.
哈拿在耶和华面前不住地祈祷, 以利定睛看她的嘴.

1:13 Now Hannah had been speaking in her heart; her lips were moving, but her voice could not be heard, so Eli considered her to be drunk.
(原来哈拿心中默祷, 只动嘴唇, 不出声音, 因此以利以为她喝醉了. )

1:14 Then Eli said to her, “How long will you behave like someone who is drunk? Put away your wine!”
以利对她说: “你要醉到几时呢? 你不应该喝酒. ”

1:15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord. I am a woman deeply distressed, but I have not drunk wine or strong drink. Rather, I have poured out my soul before Yahweh.
哈拿回答说: “主啊, 不是这样. 我是心里愁苦的妇人, 清酒浓酒都没有喝, 但在耶和华面前倾心吐意.

1:16 Do not regard your female servant as worthless, but because of the extent of my worries and my provocation I have spoken all of this.”
不要将婢女看作不正经的女子. 我因被人激动, 愁苦太多, 所以祈求到如今. ”

1:17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant your request that you have asked of him.”
以利说: “你可以平平安安地回去. 愿以色列的神允准你向他所求的! ”

1:18 And she said, “May your female slave find favor in your sight.” Then the woman went on her way and ate something, and her face did not look sad any longer.
哈拿说: “愿婢女在你眼前蒙恩. ”于是妇人走去吃饭, 面上再不带愁容了.

1:19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before Yahweh and returned to their house at Ramah. Then Elkanah had sexual relations with Hannah his wife, and Yahweh remembered her.
次日清早, 他们起来, 在耶和华面前敬拜, 就回拉玛. 到了家里, 以利加拿和妻哈拿同房, 耶和华顾念哈拿,

1:20 In due time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She called his name Samuel, for she said, “I requested him from Yahweh.”
哈拿就怀孕. 日期满足, 生了一个儿子, 给他起名叫撒母耳, 说: “这是我从耶和华那里求来的. ”

1:21 So the man Elkanah went up with all his household to make the annual sacrifice to Yahweh and to pay his vow.
以利加拿和他全家都上示罗去, 要向耶和华献年祭, 并还所许的愿.

1:22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Once the boy is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear before Yahweh; and he will remain there forever.”
哈拿却没有上去, 对丈夫说: “等孩子断了奶, 我便带他上去朝见耶和华, 使他永远住在那里. ”

1:23 So her husband Elkanah said to her, “Do what seems right to you; stay until you wean him. Only may Yahweh fulfill his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
她丈夫以利加拿说: “就随你的意行吧! 可以等儿子断了奶. 但愿耶和华应验他的话. ”于是妇人在家里乳养儿子, 直到断了奶;

1:24 Then she brought him up with her when she had weaned him, along with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. She brought him to the house of Yahweh at Shiloh while the boy was still young.
既断了奶, 就把孩子带上示罗, 到了耶和华的殿; 又带了三只公牛, 一伊法细面, 一皮袋酒. (那时, 孩子还小. )

1:25 They slaughtered the bull, and they brought the boy to Eli.
宰了一只公牛, 就领孩子到以利面前.

1:26 She said, “Excuse me, my lord. As you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood with you in this place to pray to Yahweh.
妇人说: “主啊, 我敢在你面前起誓, 从前在你这里站着祈求耶和华的那妇人, 就是我.

1:27 I prayed for this boy, and Yahweh has given me my request that I asked from him.
我祈求为要得这孩子; 耶和华已将我所求的赐给我了.

1:28 I in turn have lent him to Yahweh. As long as he lives he is lent to Yahweh.” Then they worshiped Yahweh there.
所以, 我将这孩子归与耶和华, 使他终身归与耶和华. ”于是在那里敬拜耶和华.

I Samuel - Chapter 2

2:1 Then Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in Yahweh, my strength is exalted in Yahweh; I grin over my enemies, for I rejoice over your salvation.
哈拿祷告说: 我的心因耶和华快乐; 我的角因耶和华高举. 我的口向仇敌张开; 我因耶和华的救恩欢欣.

2:2 There is no one holy like Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, and there is no rock like our God.
只有耶和华为圣; 除他以外没有可比的, 也没有磐石像我们的神.

2:3 Do not increase speaking very proud words! Let no arrogance go forth from your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge whose deeds are not weighed.
人不要夸口说骄傲的话, 也不要出狂妄的言语; 因耶和华是大有智识的神, 人的行为被他衡量.

2:4 The bows of mighty warriors are shattered, but those who stumble gird themselves with strength.
勇士的弓都已折断; 跌倒的人以力量束腰.

2:5 Those who were full must hire themselves out for bread, but those who are hungry will become fat. As for the infertile, she will bear seven, but she who has many sons withers away.
素来饱足的, 反作用人求食; 饥饿的, 再不饥饿. 不生育的, 生了七个儿子; 多有儿女的, 反倒衰微.

2:6 Yahweh kills and restores alive, he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
耶和华使人死, 也使人活, 使人下阴间, 也使人往上升.

2:7 Yahweh makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and also exalts.
他使人贫穷, 也使人富足, 使人卑微, 也使人高贵.

2:8 He raises up the poor from the dust. From the ash heap he lifts up the needy, to cause them to sit with noble people and to cause them to inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth belong to Yahweh and he has set the inhabited world on them.
他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人, 从粪堆中提拔穷乏人, 使他们与王子同坐, 得着荣耀的座位. 地的柱子属于耶和华; 他将世界立在其上.

2:9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be destroyed in the darkness, because a man will not prevail by his might.
他必保护圣民的脚步, 使恶人在黑暗中寂然不动; 人都不能靠力量得胜.

2:10 Yahweh will shatter his adversaries; he will thunder against them in the heavens. Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king and will exalt the might of his anointed one.
与耶和华争竞的, 必被打碎; 耶和华必从天上以雷攻击他, 必审判地极的人, 将力量赐与所立的王, 高举受膏者的角.

2:11 Then Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. Now the boy was serving Yahweh in the presence of Eli the priest.
以利加拿往拉玛回家去了. 那孩子在祭司以利面前事奉耶和华.

2:12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless scoundrels; they did not know Yahweh.
以利的两个儿子是恶人, 不认识耶和华.

2:13 And the custom of the priests with the people was this: When any man brought a sacrifice, as the meat was boiling, the servant of the priest would take a three-pronged meat fork in his hand
这二祭司待百姓是这样的规矩: 凡有人献祭, 正煮肉的时候, 祭司的仆人就来, 手拿三齿的叉子,

2:14 and would thrust it into the pan or into the kettle or into the cauldron or into the cooking pot. All that the meat fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they used to do to all of the Israelites who came there at Shiloh.
将叉子往罐里, 或鼎里, 或釜里, 或锅里一插, 插上来的肉, 祭司都取了去. 凡上到示罗的以色列人, 他们都是这样看待.

2:15 Also, before they offered up the fat as a burnt offering, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest meat for roasting, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
又在未烧脂油以前, 祭司的仆人就来对献祭的人说: “将肉给祭司, 叫他烤吧. 他不要煮过的, 要生的. ”

2:16 And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat completely first, then take for yourself as you desire,” then he would say to him, “No! Give it now! If not, I will take it by force!”
献祭的人若说: “必须先烧脂油, 然后你可以随意取肉. ”仆人就说: “你立时给我, 不然我便抢去. ”

2:17 So the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of Yahweh, because the men treated the offering of Yahweh with contempt.
如此, 这二少年人的罪在耶和华面前甚重了, 因为他们藐视耶和华的祭物(或译: 他们使人厌弃给耶和华献祭).

2:18 Now Samuel was serving before Yahweh, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.
那时, 撒母耳还是孩子, 穿着细麻布的以弗得, 侍立在耶和华面前.

2:19 His mother used to make for him a small robe and take it to him year by year whenever she came up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
他母亲每年为他做一件小外袍, 同著丈夫上来献年祭的时候带来给他.

2:20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and he said, “May Yahweh give you an offspring from this woman in place of the petitioned one that she requested from Yahweh.” Then they went to their home.
以利为以利加拿和他的妻祝福, 说: “愿耶和华由这妇人再赐你后裔, 代替你从耶和华求来的孩子. ”他们就回本乡去了.

2:21 Yahweh took note of Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, while the young man Samuel grew up with Yahweh.
耶和华眷顾哈拿, 她就怀孕生了三个儿子, 两个女儿. 那孩子撒母耳在耶和华面前渐渐长大.

2:22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel and that they were having sexual relations with the women who were serving at the entrance of the tent of assembly.
以利年甚老迈, 听见他两个儿子待以色列众人的事, 又听见他们与会幕门前伺候的妇人苟合,

2:23 And he asked them, “Why are you doing all these things that I am hearing, namely, your evil dealings with all these people?
他就对他们说: “你们为何行这样的事呢? 我从这众百姓听见你们的恶行.

2:24 No, my sons, the report is not good that I am hearing the people of Yahweh spreading.
我儿啊, 不可这样! 我听见你们的风声不好, 你们使耶和华的百姓犯了罪.

2:25 If a man sins against a man, then God can intercede for him. But if a man sins against Yahweh, who can intercede for him?” But they did not obey their father, because Yahweh wanted to kill them.
人若得罪人, 有士师审判他; 人若得罪耶和华, 谁能为他祈求呢? ”然而他们还是不听父亲的话, 因为耶和华想要杀他们.

2:26 But the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with Yahweh and with the people.
孩子撒母耳渐渐长大, 耶和华与人越发喜爱他.

2:27 Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him: “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Did I not clearly reveal myself to the house of your ancestor when they were in Egypt under the house of Pharaoh?
有神人来见以利, 对他说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你祖父在埃及法老家作奴仆的时候, 我不是向他们显现吗?

2:28 And I chose him from all the tribes of Israel to be a priest to me, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to bear an ephod before me. I gave to the house of your ancestor all the offerings made by fire by the Israelites.
在以色列众支派中, 我不是拣选人作我的祭司, 使他烧香, 在我坛上献祭, 在我面前穿以弗得, 又将以色列人所献的火祭都赐给你父家吗?

2:29 Why do you despise my sacrifice and my offering which I commanded for my dwelling place, while you honored your sons more than me by making yourselves fat from the best of all the offerings of my people Israel?
我所吩咐献在我居所的祭物, 你们为何践踏? 尊重你的儿子过于尊重我, 将我民以色列所献美好的祭物肥己呢? ’

2:30 Therefore,’ declares Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘though I solemnly said that your house and the house of your ancestor would walk before me forever, but now,’ declares Yahweh, ‘far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me, I will treat with contempt!
因此, 耶和华─以色列的神说: ‘我曾说, 你和你父家必永远行在我面前; 现在我却说, 决不容你们这样行. 因为尊重我的, 我必重看他; 藐视我的, 他必被轻视.

2:31 Look, days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of the house of your ancestor so that no one in your house will live to old age.
日子必到, 我要折断你的膀臂和你父家的膀臂, 使你家中没有一个老年人.

2:32 You will look at the distress of my dwelling place, despite all the good caused for Israel, but there will never be an old man in your household forever!
在神使以色列人享福的时候, 你必看见我居所的败落. 在你家中必永远没有一个老年人.

2:33 The only one I will not cut off from my altar is you. Rather, to cause your eyes to fail and to cause your soul to grieve, all the members of your household will die as men.
我必不从我坛前灭尽你家中的人; 那未灭的必使你眼目干瘪,心中忧伤. 你家中所生的人都必死在中年.

2:34 This is the sign for you that will come regarding your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: they will both die on the same day!
你的两个儿子何弗尼,非尼哈所遭遇的事可作你的证据: 他们二人必一日同死.

2:35 But I will raise up for myself a reliable priest; he will do just according to what is in my heart and in my soul. I will build for him a lasting house and he will walk continually before my anointed one forever.
我要为自己立一个忠心的祭司; 他必照我的心意而行. 我要为他建立坚固的家; 他必永远行在我的受膏者面前.

2:36 All the remainder of your household will come to bow down before him for a bit of silver or a loaf of bread and will say, “Please assign me to one of the priestly offices so that I can eat a morsel of bread.” ’ ”
你家所剩下的人都必来叩拜他, 求块银子, 求个饼, 说: 求你赐我祭司的职分, 好叫我得点饼吃. ’”

I Samuel - Chapter 3

3:1 Now the boy Samuel was serving Yahweh in the presence of Eli. The word of Yahweh was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.
童子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和华. 当那些日子, 耶和华的言语稀少, 不常有默示.

3:2 And then one day when Eli was lying in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow weak so that he was not able to see)
一日, 以利睡卧在自己的地方; 他眼目昏花, 看不分明.

3:3 and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, Samuel was lying in the temple of Yahweh where the ark of God was.
神的灯在神耶和华殿内约柜那里, 还没有熄灭, 撒母耳已经睡了.

3:4 Then Yahweh called out to Samuel and he said, “Here I am!”
耶和华呼唤撒母耳. 撒母耳说: “我在这里! ”

3:5 And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, because you called me.” But he said, “I did not call you. Go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.
就跑到以利那里, 说: “你呼唤我? 我在这里. ”以利回答说: “我没有呼唤你, 你去睡吧. ”他就去睡了.

3:6 And Yahweh called Samuel again, so Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, because you called me.” And he said, “I did not call you, my son. Go back and lie down.”
耶和华又呼唤撒母耳. 撒母耳起来, 到以利那里, 说: “你呼唤我? 我在这里. ”以利回答说: “我的儿, 我没有呼唤你, 你去睡吧. ”

3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know Yahweh, and the word of Yahweh had not yet been revealed to him.
那时撒母耳还未认识耶和华, 也未得耶和华的默示.

3:8 Again Yahweh called Samuel a third time, so he got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, because you called me.” Then Eli realized that Yahweh was calling the boy.
耶和华第三次呼唤撒母耳. 撒母耳起来, 到以利那里, 说: “你又呼唤我? 我在这里. ”以利才明白是耶和华呼唤童子.

3:9 So Eli said to Samuel “Go lie down. If he calls to you, then you must say, ‘Speak Yahweh, because your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
因此以利对撒母耳说: “你仍去睡吧; 若再呼唤你, 你就说: ‘耶和华啊, 请说, 仆人敬听! ’”撒母耳就去, 仍睡在原处.

3:10 Then Yahweh came and stood there and called out as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, because your servant is listening.”
耶和华又来站着, 像前三次呼唤说: “撒母耳啊! 撒母耳啊! ”撒母耳回答说: “请说, 仆人敬听! ”

3:11 So Yahweh said to Samuel, “Look, I am doing something in Israel which will cause the two ears of everyone who hears it to tingle.
耶和华对撒母耳说: “我在以色列中必行一件事, 叫听见的人都必耳鸣.

3:12 On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken against his household, from beginning to end.
我指著以利家所说的话, 到了时候, 我必始终应验在以利身上.

3:13 I will make him know that I am about to judge his household forever because of the iniquity that he knew, for his sons were bringing curses on themselves, but he did not rebuke them.
我曾告诉他必永远降罚与他的家, 因他知道儿子作孽, 自招咒诅, 却不禁止他们.

3:14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli that the iniquity of the house of Eli would not be atoned for by sacrifice or by offering forever.”
所以我向以利家起誓说: ‘以利家的罪孽, 虽献祭奉礼物, 永不能得赎去. ’”

3:15 So Samuel lay down until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, but Samuel was afraid of telling the vision to Eli.
撒母耳睡到天亮, 就开了耶和华的殿门, 不敢将默示告诉以利.

3:16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” And he said, “Here I am.”
以利呼唤撒母耳说: “我儿撒母耳啊! ”撒母耳回答说: “我在这里! ”

3:17 And he said, “What is the message that he spoke to you? Please do not conceal it from me. May God punish you severely if you conceal anything from me of all the words that he told you.”
以利说: “耶和华对你说甚么, 你不要向我隐瞒; 你若将神对你所说的隐瞒一句, 愿他重重地降罚与你. ”

3:18 So Samuel told him all the words and did not conceal anything from him. And he said, “He is Yahweh, he will do what is good in his sight.”
撒母耳就把一切话都告诉了以利, 并没有隐瞒. 以利说: “这是出于耶和华, 愿他凭自己的意旨而行. ”

3:19 And Samuel grew up, and Yahweh was with him. He did not allow any of his prophecies to go unfulfilled.
撒母耳长大了, 耶和华与他同在, 使他所说的话一句都不落空.

3:20 All Israel from Dan to Beersheba realized that Samuel was faithful as a prophet to Yahweh.
从但到别是巴所有的以色列人都知道耶和华立撒母耳为先知.

3:21 And Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of Yahweh.
耶和华又在示罗显现; 因为耶和华将自己的话默示撒母耳, 撒母耳就把这话传遍以色列地.

I Samuel - Chapter 4

4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines encamped at Aphek.
以色列人出去与非利士人打仗, 安营在以便以谢; 非利士人安营在亚弗.

4:2 The Philistines lined up for the battle to meet Israel, and the battle was prolonged until Israel was defeated before the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield.
非利士人向以色列人摆阵. 两军交战的时候, 以色列人败在非利士人面前; 非利士人在战场上杀了他们的军兵约有四千人.

4:3 When the army came back to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to us from Shiloh so that it may come into our midst and deliver us from the hand of our enemies.”
百姓回到营里, 以色列的长老说: “耶和华今日为何使我们败在非利士人面前呢? 我们不如将耶和华的约柜从示罗抬到我们这里来, 好在我们中间救我们脱离敌人的手. ”

4:4 So the army sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts who sits between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
于是百姓打发人到示罗, 从那里将坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华的约柜抬来. 以利的两个儿子何弗尼,非尼哈与神的约柜同来.

4:5 Now when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh arrived at the camp, all Israel let out a loud shout so that the earth shook.
耶和华的约柜到了营中, 以色列众人就大声欢呼, 地便震动.

4:6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, “What is the noise of this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews?” Then they learned that the ark of Yahweh had come into the camp.
非利士人听见欢呼的声音, 就说: “在希伯来人营里大声欢呼, 是甚么缘故呢? ”随后就知道耶和华的约柜到了营中.

4:7 So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come to the camp.” And they said, “Woe to us, for this has never happened before!
非利士人就惧怕起来, 说: “有神到了他们营中”; 又说: “我们有祸了! 向来不曾有这样的事.

4:8 Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the same gods who struck the Egyptians with all sorts of plagues in the desert.
我们有祸了! 谁能救我们脱离这些大能之神的手呢? 从前在旷野用各样灾殃击打埃及人的, 就是这些神.

4:9 Take courage and be men, you Philistines, lest you end up serving the Hebrews just like they have served you. Be men and fight!”
非利士人哪, 你们要刚强, 要作大丈夫, 免得作希伯来人的奴仆, 如同他们作你们的奴仆一样. 你们要作大丈夫, 与他们争战. ”

4:10 So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated and each man fled to his tent, for the slaughter was very great. Thirty thousand foot soldiers from Israel fell.
非利士人和以色列人打仗, 以色列人败了, 各向各家奔逃, 被杀的人甚多, 以色列的步兵仆倒了三万.

4:11 Furthermore, the ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.
神的约柜被掳去, 以利的两个儿子何弗尼,非尼哈也都被杀了.

4:12 A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh that same day, and his clothes were torn and earth was on his head.
当日, 有一个便雅悯人从阵上逃跑, 衣服撕裂, 头蒙灰尘, 来到示罗.

4:13 When he came, there was Eli sitting on his chair by the side of the road watching, because his heart was anxious about the ark of God. Now the man had come to give his report in the city, and all the city cried out.
到了的时候, 以利正在道旁坐在自己的位上观望, 为神的约柜心里担忧. 那人进城报信, 合城的人就都呼喊起来.

4:14 When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, “What is the noise of this commotion?” Then the man came quickly and told Eli.
以利听见呼喊的声音就问说: “这喧嚷是甚么缘故呢? ”那人急忙来报信给以利.

4:15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes stayed fixed ahead and he was not able to see.
那时以利九十八岁了, 眼目发直, 不能看见.

4:16 And the man said to Eli, “I am the one who has come from the battle line! I have fled today from the battle line!” And he said, “What exactly happened, my son?”
那人对以利说: “我是从阵上来的, 今日我从阵上逃回. ”以利说: “我儿, 事情怎样? ”

4:17 Then the messenger answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines. There has been a great defeat among the troops. Also, your two sons have died, Hophni and Phinehas, and the ark of God has been captured.”
报信的回答说: “以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑, 民中被杀的甚多! 你的两个儿子何弗尼,非尼哈也都死了, 并且神的约柜被掳去. ”

4:18 Just as he mentioned the ark of God, he fell from his chair backwards against the side of the gate. He broke his neck and died, because the man was old and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
他一提神的约柜, 以利就从他的位上往后跌倒, 在门旁折断颈项而死; 因为他年纪老迈, 身体沉重. 以利作以色列的士师四十年.

4:19 Now his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news concerning the capture of the ark of God and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she went into labor and gave birth, because her labor pains came upon her.
以利的儿妇,非尼哈的妻怀孕将到产期, 她听见神的约柜被掳去, 公公和丈夫都死了, 就猛然疼痛, 曲身生产;

4:20 Just before the time of her death, those attending her said, “Do not fear, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer, or pay any attention.
将要死的时候, 旁边站着的妇人们对她说: “不要怕! 你生了男孩子了. ”她却不回答, 也不放在心上.

4:21 She called the boy Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” referring to the capture of the ark of God and concerning her father-in-law and husband.
她给孩子起名叫以迦博, 说: “荣耀离开以色列了! ”这是因神的约柜被掳去, 又因她公公和丈夫都死了.

4:22 And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, because the ark of God was captured.”
她又说: “荣耀离开以色列, 因为神的约柜被掳去了. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 5

5:1 Now the Philistines had captured the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
非利士人将神的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突.

5:2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the temple of Dagon and placed it beside Dagon.
非利士人将神的约柜抬进大衮庙, 放在大衮的旁边.

5:3 When the Ashdodites got up early the next morning, there was Dagon fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh! So they took Dagon and returned him to his place.
次日清早, 亚实突人起来, 见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前, 脸伏于地, 就把大衮仍立在原处.

5:4 When they got up early in the morning the next day, there was Dagon fallen again with his face to the ground before the ark of Yahweh! The head of Dagon and the palms of his two hands were cut off, lying at the threshold; only the body of Dagon was left.
又次日清早起来, 见大衮仆倒在耶和华的约柜前, 脸伏于地, 并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断, 只剩下大衮的残体.

5:5 (Therefore the priests of Dagon and all who come into the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod until this very day.)
(因此, 大衮的祭司和一切进亚实突,大衮庙的人都不踏大衮庙的门槛, 直到今日. )

5:6 Now the hand of Yahweh was heavy against the Ashdodites and he destroyed them and struck them with tumors, both in Ashdod and its territories.
耶和华的手重重加在亚实突人身上, 败坏他们, 使他们生痔疮. 亚实突和亚实突的四境都是如此.

5:7 The men of Ashdod saw that it was so, and they said, “The ark of the God of Israel should not remain with us, because his hand is harsh on us and on Dagon our god!”
亚实突人见这光景, 就说: “以色列神的约柜不可留在我们这里, 因为他的手重重加在我们和我们神大衮的身上”;

5:8 So they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines to them, and they asked, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” And they said, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around toward Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel to Gath.
就打发人去请非利士的众首领来聚集, 问他们说: “我们向以色列神的约柜应当怎样行呢? ”他们回答说: “可以将以色列神的约柜运到迦特去. ”于是将以色列神的约柜运到那里去.

5:9 After they moved it, the hand of Yahweh was against the city, causing a very great confusion, and he struck the men of the city from the youngest to the oldest, causing tumors to break out on them.
运到之后, 耶和华的手攻击那城, 使那城的人大大惊慌, 无论大小都生痔疮.

5:10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But when the ark of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought around the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our people!”
他们就把神的约柜送到以革伦. 神的约柜到了, 以革伦人就喊嚷起来说: “他们将以色列神的约柜运到我们这里, 要害我们和我们的众民! ”

5:11 So they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines, and they said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel and let it return to its place, so that it will not kill us and our people.” For a deadly confusion was throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
于是打发人去请非利士的众首领来, 说: “愿你们将以色列神的约柜送回原处, 免得害了我们和我们的众民! ”原来神的手重重攻击那城, 城中的人有因惊慌而死的;

5:12 The men who did not die were struck with the tumors, so that the cry of the city for help went up to heaven.
未曾死的人都生了痔疮. 合城呼号, 声音上达于天.

I Samuel - Chapter 6

6:1 Now the ark of Yahweh had been in the territory of the Philistines for seven months,
耶和华的约柜在非利士人之地七个月.

6:2 and the Philistines called to the priests and to those who practiced divination, saying, “What should we do with the ark of Yahweh? Inform us how we should send it to its place.”
非利士人将祭司和占卜的聚了来, 问他们说: “我们向耶和华的约柜应当怎样行? 请指示我们用何法将约柜送回原处. ”

6:3 They said, “If you are sending the ark of the God of Israel away, you must not send it away empty, but by all means return it with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed and it will become known to you why his hand is not turned aside from you.”
他们说: “若要将以色列神的约柜送回去, 不可空空地送去, 必要给他献赔罪的礼物, 然后你们可得痊愈, 并知道他的手为何不离开你们. ”

6:4 And they said, “What is the guilt offering that we should return to him?” They said, “The number of the rulers of the Philistines is five. Therefore send five gold tumors and five gold mice, because one plague was on all of you and all your rulers.
非利士人说: “应当用甚么献为赔罪的礼物呢? ”他们回答说: “当照非利士首领的数目, 用五个金痔疮, 五个金老鼠, 因为在你们众人和你们首领的身上都是一样的灾.

6:5 You must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that are ravaging the land, and you must give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand on you and on your gods and on your land.
所以当制造你们痔疮的像和毁坏你们田地老鼠的像, 并要归荣耀给以色列的神, 或者他向你们和你们的神, 并你们的田地, 把手放轻些.

6:6 Why should you harden your hearts like the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their heart? Is it not just like when he dealt with them wantonly so that they sent them away and they left?
你们为何硬著心像埃及人和法老一样呢? 神在埃及人中间行奇事, 埃及人岂不释放以色列人, 他们就去了吗?

6:7 So then, prepare one new utility cart and two milking cows that have never had a yoke on them, and you must harness the cows to the utility cart and then turn their calves from following them to their stall.
现在你们应当造一辆新车, 将两只未曾负轭有乳的母牛套在车上, 使牛犊回家去, 离开母牛.

6:8 And you must take the ark of Yahweh and place it on the utility cart with the gold objects that you are returning to him as a guilt offering. You must place them in the container beside the ark and then send it off so that it goes away.
把耶和华的约柜放在车上, 将所献赔罪的金物装在匣子里, 放在柜旁, 将柜送去.

6:9 You must watch; if it goes up by the way of its territory to Beth Shemesh, he has caused this great disaster to come on us. But if not, then we will know his hand has not struck us; it was by chance that this happened to us.
你们要看看: 车若直行以色列的境界到伯．示麦去, 这大灾就是耶和华降在我们身上的; 若不然, 便可以知道不是他的手击打我们, 是我们偶然遇见的. ”

6:10 So the men did so; they took two milking cows and harnessed them to the utility cart, but they shut up their calves in the stall.
非利士人就这样行: 将两只有乳的母牛套在车上, 将牛犊关在家里,

6:11 Then they put the ark of Yahweh on the utility cart with the container holding the gold mice and the images of their tumors.
把耶和华的约柜和装金老鼠并金痔疮像的匣子都放在车上.

6:12 The cows went straight on the way on the road to Beth Shemesh, on the one main road, lowing as they went. They did not turn aside to the right or to the left, and the rulers of the Philistines were walking after them up to the border of Beth Shemesh.
牛直行大道, 往伯．示麦去, 一面走一面叫, 不偏左右. 非利士的首领跟在后面, 直到伯．示麦的境界.

6:13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping the wheat harvest in the valley. They lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and they were glad to see it.
伯．示麦人正在平原收割麦子, 举目看见约柜, 就欢喜了.

6:14 The utility cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh and stopped there where there was a large stone. They split the wood of the utility cart and sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
车到了伯．示麦人约书亚的田间, 就站住了. 在那里有一块大磐石, 他们把车劈了, 将两只母牛献给耶和华为燔祭.

6:15 Then the Levites took down the ark of Yahweh and the container that was beside it, in which were the gold objects, and they set them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings, and they made sacrifices to Yahweh on that day.
利未人将耶和华的约柜和装金物的匣子拿下来, 放在大磐石上. 当日伯．示麦人将燔祭和平安祭献给耶和华.

6:16 The five rulers of the Philistines saw it and returned to Ekron that same day.
非利士人的五个首领看见, 当日就回以革伦去了.

6:17 Now these are the gold tumors which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to Yahweh: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron.
非利士人献给耶和华作赔罪的金痔疮像, 就是这些: 一个是为亚实突, 一个是为迦萨, 一个是为亚实基伦, 一个是为迦特, 一个是为以革伦.

6:18 And the gold mice according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, for their five rulers, from the fortified city to the unwalled village of the open country as far as the great stone, where they set the ark of Yahweh until this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
金老鼠的数目是照非利士五个首领的城邑, 就是坚固的城邑和乡村, 以及大磐石. 这磐石是放耶和华约柜的, 到今日还在伯．示麦人约书亚的田间.

6:19 He struck seventy men among the men of Beth Shemesh because they looked into the ark of Yahweh. So the people mourned because Yahweh had struck a great blow among the people.
耶和华因伯．示麦人擅观他的约柜, 就击杀了他们七十人; 那时有五万人在那里(原文是七十人加五万人). 百姓因耶和华大大击杀他们, 就哀哭了.

6:20 Then the men of Beth Shemesh asked, “Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? And to whom shall it go up from us?”
伯．示麦人说: “谁能在耶和华这圣洁的神面前侍立呢? 这约柜可以从我们这里送到谁那里去呢? ”

6:21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of Yahweh. Come down and take it up to yourselves.”
于是打发人去见基列．耶琳的居民, 说: “非利士人将耶和华的约柜送回来了, 你们下来将约柜接到你们那里去吧! ”

I Samuel - Chapter 7

7:1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and brought up the ark of Yahweh, and they brought it to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah. They consecrated Eleazer his son to guard the ark of Yahweh.
基列．耶琳人就下来, 将耶和华的约柜接上去, 放在山上亚比拿达的家中, 分派他儿子以利亚撒看守耶和华的约柜.

7:2 From the day the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, days multiplied and became twenty years while all the house of Israel mourned after Yahweh.
约柜在基列．耶琳许久. 过了二十年, 以色列全家都倾向耶和华.

7:3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If with all your heart you are turning to Yahweh, remove the foreign gods and Ashtoreths from your midst. Commit your hearts to Yahweh and serve him alone. Then he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”
撒母耳对以色列全家说: “你们若一心归顺耶和华, 就要把外邦的神和亚斯她录从你们中间除掉, 专心归向耶和华, 单单地事奉他. 他必救你们脱离非利士人的手. ”

7:4 So the Israelites removed the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and they served Yahweh alone.
以色列人就除掉诸巴力和亚斯她录, 单单地事奉耶和华.

7:5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”
撒母耳说: “要使以色列众人聚集在米斯巴, 我好为你们祷告耶和华. ”

7:6 So they gathered to Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before Yahweh. They fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh!” So Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.
他们就聚集在米斯巴, 打水浇在耶和华面前, 当日禁食, 说: “我们得罪了耶和华. ”于是撒母耳在米斯巴审判以色列人.

7:7 Now when the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the Israelites heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
非利士人听见以色列人聚集在米斯巴, 非利士的首领就上来要攻击以色列人. 以色列人听见, 就惧怕非利士人.

7:8 Then the Israelites said to Samuel, “You must not cease from crying out to Yahweh our God, so that he will deliver us from the hand of the Philistines.”
以色列人对撒母耳说: “愿你不住地为我们呼求耶和华─我们的神, 救我们脱离非利士人的手. ”

7:9 So Samuel took a single nursing lamb and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh on behalf of Israel, and Yahweh answered him.
撒母耳就把一只吃奶的羊羔献与耶和华作全牲的燔祭, 为以色列人呼求耶和华; 耶和华就应允他.

7:10 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near for the battle against Israel. But Yahweh thundered against the Philistines with a great noise on that day and threw them into confusion so that they were defeated before Israel.
撒母耳正献燔祭的时候, 非利士人前来要与以色列人争战. 当日, 耶和华大发雷声, 惊乱非利士人, 他们就败在以色列人面前.

7:11 Then the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and they struck them down as far as below Beth Car.
以色列人从米斯巴出来, 追赶非利士人, 击杀他们, 直到伯．甲的下边.

7:12 So Samuel took a single stone and put it between Mizpah and Shen, and he named it Ebenezer and said, “Up to here Yahweh has helped us.”
撒母耳将一块石头立在米斯巴和善的中间, 给石头起名叫以便以谢, 说: “到如今耶和华都帮助我们. ”

7:13 So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come into the territory of Israel again, and the hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
从此, 非利士人就被制伏, 不敢再入以色列人的境内. 撒母耳作士师的时候, 耶和华的手攻击非利士人.

7:14 The towns which the Philistines had taken from Israel were returned to Israel from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territories from the hand of the Philistines. Then there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
非利士人所取以色列人的城邑, 从以革伦直到迦特, 都归以色列人了. 属这些城的四境, 以色列人也从非利士人手下收回. 那时以色列人与亚摩利人和好.

7:15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
撒母耳平生作以色列的士师.

7:16 He used to go on the circuit from year to year. He went around Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and he judged Israel in all these places.
他每年巡行到伯特利,吉甲,米斯巴, 在这几处审判以色列人.

7:17 Then he returned to Ramah, because his house was there, and there he judged Israel, and he built an altar to Yahweh there.
随后回到拉玛, 因为他的家在那里; 也在那里审判以色列人, 且为耶和华筑了一座坛.

I Samuel - Chapter 8

8:1 When Samuel grew old he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
撒母耳年纪老迈, 就立他儿子作以色列的士师.

8:2 The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second son was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
长子名叫约珥, 次子名叫亚比亚; 他们在别是巴作士师.

8:3 But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after gain, they took bribes, and they perverted justice.
他儿子不行他的道, 贪图财利, 收受贿赂, 屈枉正直.

8:4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
以色列的长老都聚集, 来到拉玛见撒母耳,

8:5 They said to him, “Look, you are old and your sons do not follow in your ways. So then appoint a king for us to judge us, like all the nations.
对他说: “你年纪老迈了, 你儿子不行你的道. 现在求你为我们立一个王治理我们, 像列国一样. ”

8:6 But the matter was displeasing to Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” so Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
撒母耳不喜悦他们说“立一个王治理我们”, 他就祷告耶和华.

8:7 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people concerning all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.
耶和华对撒母耳说: “百姓向你说的一切话, 你只管依从; 因为他们不是厌弃你, 乃是厌弃我, 不要我作他们的王.

8:8 Like all the deeds they have done from the day I brought them up from Egypt until this day, they have forsaken me and have served other gods—so they are doing to you also.
自从我领他们出埃及到如今, 他们常常离弃我, 事奉别神. 现在他们向你所行的, 是照他们素来所行的.

8:9 And so then, listen to their voice. However, you must earnestly warn them; you must explain to them the custom of the king who will rule over them.”
故此你要依从他们的话, 只是当警戒他们, 告诉他们将来那王怎样管辖他们. ”

8:10 So Samuel spoke all the words of Yahweh to the people who were requesting a king from him.
撒母耳将耶和华的话都传给求他立王的百姓, 说:

8:11 He said, “This will be the custom of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and his horsemen, and they will run before his chariots.
“管辖你们的王必这样行: 他必派你们的儿子为他赶车,跟马, 奔走在车前;

8:12 He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and those to do his plowing and to reap his harvest, and those to make weapons of war and the equipment for his chariots.
又派他们作千夫长,五十夫长, 为他耕种田地, 收割庄稼, 打造军器和车上的器械;

8:13 He will take your daughters as his perfume makers and as cooks and as bakers.
必取你们的女儿为他制造香膏, 做饭烤饼;

8:14 He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive trees and will give them to his servants.
也必取你们最好的田地,葡萄园,橄榄园赐给他的臣仆.

8:15 He will take a tenth of your seed and your vineyards and give it to his high officials and to his servants.
你们的粮食和葡萄园所出的, 他必取十分之一给他的太监和臣仆;

8:16 He will take your male slaves and your female slaves and the best of your young men and your donkeys and will use them for his projects.
又必取你们的仆人婢女, 健壮的少年人和你们的驴, 供他的差役.

8:17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.
你们的羊群他必取十分之一, 你们也必作他的仆人.

8:18 So you will cry out on that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but Yahweh will not answer you on that day!”
那时你们必因所选的王哀求耶和华, 耶和华却不应允你们. ”

8:19 However, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel and they said, “No, but there must be a king over us,
百姓竟不肯听撒母耳的话, 说: “不然! 我们定要一个王治理我们,

8:20 so that we also may be like all the nations, and our king may rule us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
使我们像列国一样, 有王治理我们, 统领我们, 为我们争战. ”

8:21 Now when Samuel heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the ears of Yahweh.
撒母耳听见百姓这一切话, 就将这话陈明在耶和华面前.

8:22 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and appoint a king for them.” So Samuel spoke to the men of Israel, “Each of you go to his own town.”
耶和华对撒母耳说: “你只管依从他们的话, 为他们立王. ”撒母耳对以色列人说: “你们各归各城去吧! ”

I Samuel - Chapter 9

9:1 Now there was a man from Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjaminite, a very wealthy man.
有一个便雅悯人, 名叫基士, 是便雅悯人亚斐亚的玄孙, 比歌拉的曾孙, 洗罗的孙子, 亚别的儿子, 是个大能的勇士(或译: 大财主).

9:2 He had a son whose name was Saul, a young and handsome man. There was not a man from the Israelites more handsome than he was; from his shoulders up, he was taller than all the people.
他有一个儿子, 名叫扫罗, 又健壮,又俊美, 在以色列人中没有一个能比他的; 身体比众民高过一头.

9:3 Now the female donkeys of Kish the father of Saul got lost, and Kish said to Saul his son, “Please take one of the servants with you and get up; go and seek the female donkeys.”
扫罗的父亲基士丢了几头驴, 他就吩咐儿子扫罗说: “你带一个仆人去寻找驴. ”

9:4 So he passed through the hill country of Ephraim; he passed through the land of Shalisha but they did not find them. They passed through the land of Shaalim but they were not there. He passed through the land of Benjamin but did not find them.
扫罗就走过以法莲山地, 又过沙利沙地, 都没有找著; 又过沙琳地, 驴也不在那里; 又过便雅悯地, 还没有找著.

9:5 When they entered the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the female donkeys and worry about us!”
到了苏弗地, 扫罗对跟随他的仆人说: “我们不如回去, 恐怕我父亲不为驴挂心, 反为我们担忧. ”

9:6 But he said to him, “Look, a man of God is in this town, and the man is honored. All that he says certainly comes true. So then let us go there; perhaps he will tell us about our journey on which we have gone.”
仆人说: “这城里有一位神人, 是众人所尊重的, 凡他所说的全都应验. 我们不如往他那里去, 或者他能将我们当走的路指示我们. ”

9:7 So Saul said to his servant, “Look, we may go, but what should we bring to the man? For the bread is gone from our bags, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have with us?”
扫罗对仆人说: “我们若去, 有甚么可以送那人呢? 我们囊中的食物都吃尽了, 也没有礼物可以送那神人, 我们还有甚么没有? ”

9:8 The servant again answered Saul and said, “Look, I have in my hand a quarter shekel of silver! I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us our way.”
仆人回答扫罗说: “我手里有银子一舍客勒的四分之一, 可以送那神人, 请他指示我们当走的路. ”

9:9 (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he would say: “Come, let us go up to the seer.” For the prophet of today was formerly called a seer.)
(从前以色列中, 若有人去问神, 就说: “我们问先见去吧! ”现在称为“先知”的, 从前称为“先见”. )

9:10 So Saul said to his servant, “Your suggestion is a good one. Come, let us go.” And they went to the town where the man of God was.
扫罗对仆人说: “你说的是, 我们可以去. ”于是他们往神人所住的城里去了.

9:11 They were going up the ascent of the town when they found young women going out to draw water. They said to them, “Is there the seer here?”
他们上坡要进城, 就遇见几个少年女子出来打水, 问她们说: “先见在这里没有? ”

9:12 They answered them and said, “There is. Look, he is just in front of you! Hurry now, because he has come to the town today, because there is a sacrifice for the people today at the high place.
女子回答说: “在这里, 他在你们前面. 快去吧! 他今日正到城里, 因为今日百姓要在邱坛献祭.

9:13 As soon as you enter the town, you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice. Then afterward the invited guests will eat. So then, go up, because you will find him today!”
在他还没有上邱坛吃祭物之先, 你们一进城必遇见他; 因他未到, 百姓不能吃, 必等他先祝祭, 然后请的客才吃. 现在你们上去, 这时候必遇见他. ”

9:14 So they went up to the town. As they were entering into the middle of the town, Samuel was coming forth to meet them, to go up to the high place.
二人就上去; 将进城的时候, 撒母耳正迎着他们来, 要上邱坛去.

9:15 Now Yahweh had revealed this to Samuel the day before Saul arrived, saying,
扫罗未到的前一日, 耶和华已经指示撒母耳说:

9:16 “This time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you must anoint him as leader over my people Israel. He will deliver my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have seen the suffering of my people, because their cry of distress has come to me.”
“明日这时候, 我必使一个人从便雅悯地到你这里来, 你要膏他作我民以色列的君. 他必救我民脱离非利士人的手; 因我民的哀声上达于我, 我就眷顾他们. ”

9:17 When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh answered him, “Here is the man about whom I told you! This is the one who will govern my people.”
撒母耳看见扫罗的时候, 耶和华对他说: “看哪, 这人就是我对你所说的, 他必治理我的民. ”

9:18 Then Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate and said, “Please tell me, where is the house of the seer?”
扫罗在城门里走到撒母耳跟前, 说: “请告诉我, 先见的寓所在哪里? ”

9:19 Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up ahead of me to the high place, and you will eat with me today; then I will send you away in the morning. I will tell you all that is on your mind.
撒母耳回答说: “我就是先见. 你在我前面上邱坛去, 因为你们今日必与我同席; 明日早晨我送你去, 将你心里的事都告诉你.

9:20 And as for your female donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be concerned about them, because they have been found. For whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not for you and for all the house of your father?”
至于你前三日所丢的那几头驴, 你心里不必挂念, 已经找著了. 以色列众人所仰慕的是谁呢? 不是仰慕你和你父的全家吗? ”

9:21 Saul answered and said, “Am I not a Benjaminite, from the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the humblest of all the families of the tribes of Benjamin? Why do you speak to me in this way?”
扫罗说: “我不是以色列支派中至小的便雅悯人吗? 我家不是便雅悯支派中至小的家吗? 你为何对我说这样的话呢? ”

9:22 So Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them to a room in the building and gave them a place at the head of the invited guests. There were about thirty men.
撒母耳领扫罗和他仆人进了客堂, 使他们在请来的客中坐首位; 客约有三十个人.

9:23 Then Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion that I gave to you, about which I said to you, ‘Keep it with you.’ ”
撒母耳对厨役说: “我交给你收存的那一分祭肉现在可以拿来. ”

9:24 So the cook took up the shank and what was on it and put it before Saul, and he said, “Look, the saved portion is placed before you—eat, because it has been kept for you for the appointed time,” and he said, “I have invited the people.” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
厨役就把收存的腿拿来, 摆在扫罗面前, 撒母耳说: “这是所留下的, 放在你面前. 吃吧! 因我请百姓的时候, 特意为你存留这肉到此时. ”当日, 扫罗就与撒母耳同席.

9:25 When they came down from the high place to the town, he spoke with Saul on the roof.
众人从邱坛下来进城, 撒母耳和扫罗在房顶上说话.

9:26 They got up early, and as dawn was breaking, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, “Get up, so that I can send you away.” So Saul got up and the two of them, he and Samuel, went outside.
次日清早起来, 黎明的时候, 扫罗在房顶上. 撒母耳呼叫他说: “起来吧, 我好送你回去. ”扫罗就起来, 和撒母耳一同出去.

9:27 As they were going down to the outskirts of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to pass on before us. When he has passed, you stand here a while, so that I can make known to you the word of God.”
二人下到城角, 撒母耳对扫罗说: “要吩咐仆人先走(仆人就先走了); 你且站在这里, 等我将神的话传与你听. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 10

10:1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it over his head and kissed him and said, “Has not Yahweh anointed you as leader over his inheritance?
撒母耳拿瓶膏油倒在扫罗的头上, 与他亲嘴, 说: “这不是耶和华膏你作他产业的君吗?

10:2 As you go from with me today, you will find two men near the burial site of Rachel in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will say to you, ‘The female donkeys that you went to search for have been found.’ Now look, your father is no longer concerned about the female donkeys and has begun worrying about you, saying, ‘What should I do about my son?’
你今日与我离别之后, 在便雅悯境内的泄撒, 靠近拉结的坟墓, 要遇见两个人. 他们必对你说: ‘你去找的那几头驴已经找著了. 现在你父亲不为驴挂心, 反为你担忧, 说: 我为儿子怎么才好呢? ’

10:3 Then you will go on from there and further you will come to the oak of Tabor. There three men will meet you, who are going up to God at Bethel. One will be carrying three male kid goats, one will be carrying three loaves of bread, and one will be carrying a skin of wine.
你从那里往前行, 到了他泊的橡树那里, 必遇见三个往伯特利去拜神的人: 一个带着三只山羊羔, 一个带着三个饼, 一个带着一皮袋酒.

10:4 They will ask how you are doing and will give you two loaves, which you will take from their hand.
他们必问你安, 给你两个饼, 你就从他们手中接过来.

10:5 After this, you will come to the Gibeah of God, where there are sentries of the Philistines. Just as you enter the town there, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place, with harp, tambourine, flute, and zither before them, and they will be prophesying.
此后你到神的山, 在那里有非利士人的防兵. 你到了城的时候, 必遇见一班先知从邱坛下来, 前面有鼓瑟的,击鼓的,吹笛的,弹琴的, 他们都受感说话.

10:6 Then the Spirit of Yahweh will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will turn into a different person.
耶和华的灵必大大感动你, 你就与他们一同受感说话; 你要变为新人.

10:7 When these signs come to you, do for yourself what your hand finds to do, for God will be with you.
这兆头临到你, 你就可以趁时而做, 因为神与你同在.

10:8 Then you will go down before me to Gilgal. Look, I am coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and to make fellowship offerings. You must wait seven days until I come to you. Then I will let you know what you should do.”
你当在我以先下到吉甲, 我也必下到那里献燔祭和平安祭. 你要等候七日, 等我到了那里, 指示你当行的事. ”

10:9 Just as he turned his shoulder to depart from Samuel, God changed his heart. And all these signs were fulfilled on that day.
扫罗转身离别撒母耳, 神就赐他一个新心. 当日这一切兆头都应验了.

10:10 When they went from there to Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.
扫罗到了那山, 有一班先知遇见他, 神的灵大大感动他, 他就在先知中受感说话.

10:11 And when all who knew him formerly saw that he prophesied with prophets, the people said to one another, “What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
素来认识扫罗的, 看见他和先知一同受感说话, 就彼此说: “基士的儿子遇见甚么了? 扫罗也列在先知中吗? ”

10:12 And a man from there responded and said, “And who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
那地方有一个人说: “这些人的父亲是谁呢? ”此后有句俗语说: “扫罗也列在先知中吗? ”

10:13 When he finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
扫罗受感说话已毕, 就上邱坛去了.

10:14 Then Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And he said, “To search for the female donkeys; and when we saw none, we went to Samuel.”
扫罗的叔叔问扫罗和他仆人说: “你们往哪里去了? ”回答说: “找驴去了. 我们见没有驴, 就到了撒母耳那里. ”

10:15 So Saul’s uncle said to him, “Please tell me, what did Samuel say to you?”
扫罗的叔叔说: “请将撒母耳向你们所说的话告诉我. ”

10:16 Then Saul said to his uncle, “He told us for certain that the female donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingship of which Samuel had spoken.
扫罗对他叔叔说: “他明明地告诉我们驴已经找著了. ”至于撒母耳所说的国事, 扫罗却没有告诉叔叔.

10:17 Then Samuel summoned the people to Yahweh at Mizpah,
撒母耳将百姓招聚到米斯巴耶和华那里,

10:18 and he said to the Israelites, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’
对他们说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘我领你们以色列人出埃及, 救你们脱离埃及人的手, 又救你们脱离欺压你们各国之人的手. ’

10:19 But you today have rejected your God who always delivers you from all of your calamities and your distresses. You have said to him, ‘No, but you must appoint a king over us!’ So then present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your clans.”
你们今日却厌弃了救你们脱离一切灾难的神, 说: ‘求你立一个王治理我们. ’现在你们应当按著支派,宗族都站在耶和华面前. ”

10:20 So Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected by lot.
于是, 撒母耳使以色列众支派近前来掣签, 就掣出便雅悯支派来;

10:21 Then he brought near the tribe of Benjamin according to its families, and the family of Matri was selected by lot. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen, and they sought him, but he could not be found.
又使便雅悯支派按著宗族近前来, 就掣出玛特利族, 从其中又掣出基士的儿子扫罗. 众人寻找他却寻不著,

10:22 So they inquired again of Yahweh, “Did the man come here?” And Yahweh said, “Look, he is hiding himself among the baggage.”
就问耶和华说: “那人到这里来了没有? ”耶和华说: “他藏在器具中了. ”

10:23 So they ran and took him from there, and when he took his stand among the people, he was taller than all the people from his shoulders and up.
众人就跑去从那里领出他来. 他站在百姓中间, 身体比众民高过一头.

10:24 Then Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen? For there is no one like him among all the people!” And all the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
撒母耳对众民说: “你们看耶和华所拣选的人, 众民中有可比他的吗? ”众民就大声欢呼说: “愿王万岁! ”

10:25 Then Samuel told the people the custom of the kingship, and he wrote the rules down on a scroll and laid it before Yahweh. Then Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own house.
撒母耳将国法对百姓说明, 又记在书上, 放在耶和华面前, 然后遣散众民, 各回各家去了.

10:26 And Saul also went to his house at Gibeah, and the troops whose hearts God had touched went with him.
扫罗往基比亚回家去, 有神感动的一群人跟随他.

10:27 However, some worthless men said, “How can this man deliver us?” So they despised him and brought no gift to him, but he kept silent.
但有些匪徒说: “这人怎能救我们呢? ”就藐视他, 没有送他礼物; 扫罗却不理会.

I Samuel - Chapter 11

11:1 Now Nahash the Ammonite went up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a treaty with us and we will serve you.”
亚扪人的王拿辖上来, 对着基列．雅比安营. 雅比众人对拿辖说: “你与我们立约, 我们就服事你. ”

11:2 But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make a treaty with you, by gouging out the right eye of each of you, so that I can make it a disgrace for all Israel.”
亚扪人拿辖说: “你们若由我剜出你们各人的右眼, 以此凌辱以色列众人, 我就与你们立约. ”

11:3 So the elders of Jabesh said to him, “Leave us alone for seven days so that we may send messengers in all the territory of Israel, and if there is no deliverer for us, then we will come out to you.”
雅比的长老对他说: “求你宽容我们七日, 等我们打发人往以色列的全境去; 若没有人救我们, 我们就出来归顺你. ”

11:4 When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, they reported these things to the people. Then all the people lifted up their voices and wept.
使者到了扫罗住的基比亚, 将这话说给百姓听, 百姓就都放声而哭.

11:5 Just then, Saul was coming from the field behind the cattle. Saul said, “What is the matter with the people, that they are weeping?” So they recounted to him the words of the men of Jabesh.
扫罗正从田间赶牛回来, 问说: “百姓为甚么哭呢? ”众人将雅比人的话告诉他.

11:6 Then the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and he became very angry.
扫罗听见这话, 就被神的灵大大感动, 甚是发怒.

11:7 So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them into pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, “Whoever is not going out after Saul and after Samuel, so will it be done to his oxen.” Then the fear of Yahweh fell on the people and they went out as one man.
他将一对牛切成块子, 托付使者传送以色列的全境, 说: “凡不出来跟随扫罗和撒母耳的, 也必这样切开他的牛. ”于是耶和华使百姓惧怕, 他们就都出来, 如同一人.

11:8 He mustered them at Bezek; the Israelites were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah were thirty thousand.
扫罗在比色数点他们: 以色列人有三十万, 犹大人有三万.

11:9 They said to the messengers who had come, “Thus you will say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow deliverance for you will come when the sun is hot.’ ” When the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh, they rejoiced.
众人对那使者说: “你们要回复基列．雅比人说, 明日太阳近午的时候, 你们必得解救. ”使者回去告诉雅比人, 他们就欢喜了.

11:10 The men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.”
于是雅比人对亚扪人说: “明日我们出来归顺你们, 你们可以随意待我们. ”

11:11 And the next day Saul placed the people in three divisions. Then they came into the middle of the camp at the early morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. It happened that the remainder were scattered so that no two among them remained together.
第二日, 扫罗将百姓分为三队, 在晨更的时候入了亚扪人的营, 击杀他们直到太阳近午, 剩下的人都逃散, 没有二人同在一处的.

11:12 Then the people said to Samuel, “Who is the one who asked, ‘Will Saul reign over us?’ Give the men to us that we may kill them.”
百姓对撒母耳说: “那说‘扫罗岂能管理我们’的是谁呢? 可以将他交出来, 我们好杀死他. ”

11:13 But Saul said, “No one will be put to death on this day, because today Yahweh has provided deliverance in Israel.”
扫罗说: “今日耶和华在以色列中施行拯救, 所以不可杀人. ”

11:14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal, and let us renew the kingship there.”
撒母耳对百姓说: “我们要往吉甲去, 在那里立国. ”

11:15 So all the people went to Gilgal and they made Saul king there before Yahweh in Gilgal. They sacrificed fellowship offerings there before Yahweh. Then Saul rejoiced there greatly along with all the men of Israel.
众百姓就到了吉甲那里, 在耶和华面前立扫罗为王, 又在耶和华面前献平安祭. 扫罗和以色列众人大大欢喜.

I Samuel - Chapter 12

12:1 Then Samuel said to all Israel, “Look, I have listened to your voice regarding all that you have said to me, so I have set a king over you.
撒母耳对以色列众人说: “你们向我所求的, 我已应允了, 为你们立了一个王;

12:2 And so then here is the king walking about before you. Now I am old and gray, but my sons (look at them!) are with you; and I have walked about before you from my youth until this day.
现在有这王在你们前面行. 我已年老发白, 我的儿子都在你们这里. 我从幼年直到今日都在你们前面行.

12:3 Here I am! Testify against me before Yahweh and before his anointed one! Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe, that I may shut my eyes regarding him?–then I will restore it to you.”
我在这里, 你们要在耶和华和他的受膏者面前给我作见证. 我夺过谁的牛, 抢过谁的驴, 欺负过谁, 虐待过谁, 从谁手里受过贿赂因而眼瞎呢? 若有, 我必偿还. ”

12:4 Then they said, “You have not exploited us or oppressed us, and you have not taken anything from the hand of anyone.”
众人说: “你未曾欺负我们, 虐待我们, 也未曾从谁手里受过甚么. ”

12:5 So he said to them, “Yahweh is witness against you, and his anointed one is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” Then they said, “He is witness.”
撒母耳对他们说: “你们在我手里没有找著甚么, 有耶和华和他的受膏者今日为证. ”他们说: “愿他为证. ”

12:6 Then Samuel said to the people, “Yahweh is witness, who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your ancestors up from the land of Egypt.
撒母耳对百姓说: “从前立摩西,亚伦, 又领你们列祖出埃及地的是耶和华.

12:7 So then take your stand, so that I may judge you before Yahweh with regard to all the deeds of justice of Yahweh that he performed with both you and your ancestors.
现在你们要站住, 等我在耶和华面前对你们讲论耶和华向你们和你们列祖所行一切公义的事.

12:8 “When Jacob came to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to Yahweh, so he sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your ancestors out from Egypt and settled them in this place.
从前雅各到了埃及, 后来你们列祖呼求耶和华, 耶和华就差遣摩西,亚伦领你们列祖出埃及, 使他们在这地方居住.

12:9 But they forgot Yahweh their God, so he sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the hosts of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
他们却忘记耶和华─他们的神, 他就把他们付与夏琐将军西西拉的手里, 和非利士人并摩押王的手里. 于是这些人常来攻击他们.

12:10 So they cried out to Yahweh and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yahweh and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths. But now deliver us from the hand of our enemies and we will serve you!’
他们就呼求耶和华说: ‘我们离弃耶和华, 事奉巴力和亚斯她录, 是有罪了. 现在求你救我们脱离仇敌的手, 我们必事奉你. ’

12:11 So Yahweh sent Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel. Then he delivered you from the hand of your enemies all around, and you lived in security.
耶和华就差遣耶路．巴力,比但,耶弗他,撒母耳救你们脱离四围仇敌的手, 你们才安然居住.

12:12 “And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, ‘No! A king shall reign over us,’ although Yahweh your God is your king.
你们见亚扪人的王拿辖来攻击你们, 就对我说: ‘我们定要一个王治理我们. ’其实耶和华─你们的神是你们的王.

12:13 So then look! Here is the king you have chosen, for whom you have asked! Look, Yahweh has placed a king over you!
现在, 你们所求所选的王在这里. 看哪, 耶和华已经为你们立王了.

12:14 If you will fear Yahweh, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not be rebellious against what Yahweh says, and both you and the king who rules over you will follow after Yahweh your God, all will be well.
你们若敬畏耶和华, 事奉他, 听从他的话, 不违背他的命令, 你们和治理你们的王也都顺从耶和华─你们的神就好了.

12:15 But, if you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you rebel against what Yahweh says, then the hand of Yahweh will be against you as it was against your ancestors.
倘若不听从耶和华的话, 违背他的命令, 耶和华的手必攻击你们, 像从前攻击你们列祖一样.

12:16 So then take your stand again and see this great thing that Yahweh is going to do before your eyes.
现在你们要站住, 看耶和华在你们眼前要行一件大事.

12:17 Is the wheat harvest not today? I will call out to Yahweh so that he still sends thunder and rain, so that you will know and will see that your wickedness is great that you have done in the eyes of Yahweh by asking for a king for yourselves.”
这不是割麦子的时候吗? 我求告耶和华, 他必打雷降雨, 使你们又知道又看出, 你们求立王的事是在耶和华面前犯大罪了. ”

12:18 So Samuel called out to Yahweh, and Yahweh brought thunder and rain that same day, so all the people feared Yahweh and Samuel greatly.
于是撒母耳求告耶和华, 耶和华就在这日打雷降雨, 众民便甚惧怕耶和华和撒母耳.

12:19 Then all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God so that we will not die, because we have added to all our sins by requesting a king for ourselves.”
众民对撒母耳说: “求你为仆人们祷告耶和华─你的神, 免得我们死亡; 因为我们求立王的事正是罪上加罪了. ”

12:20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear! You have done all this evil; only do not turn aside from following Yahweh. But you must serve Yahweh with all your heart.
撒母耳对百姓说: “不要惧怕! 你们虽然行了这恶, 却不要偏离耶和华, 只要尽心事奉他.

12:21 And do not turn aside after the triviality, which have no value and cannot deliver, for they are triviality.
若偏离耶和华去顺从那不能救人的虚神是无益的.

12:22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for the sake of his great name, because Yahweh has decided to make you his own people.
耶和华既喜悦选你们作他的子民, 就必因他的大名不撇弃你们.

12:23 Also, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the good and righteous way.
至于我, 断不停止为你们祷告, 以致得罪耶和华. 我必以善道正路指教你们.

12:24 Only fear Yahweh and serve him faithfully with all of your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.
只要你们敬畏耶和华, 诚诚实实地尽心事奉他, 想念他向你们所行的事何等大.

12:25 But if you continue to do wickedness, both you and your king will be swept away.”
你们若仍然作恶, 你们和你们的王必一同灭亡. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 13

13:1 Saul was thirty years old at the beginning of his reign, and he reigned forty-two years over Israel.
扫罗登基年四十岁; 作以色列王二年的时候,

13:2 He chose for himself three thousand from Israel. Two thousand of these were with Saul at Micmash in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah in Benjamin. He sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.
就从以色列中拣选了三千人: 二千跟随扫罗在密抹和伯特利山, 一千跟随约拿单在便雅悯的基比亚; 其余的人扫罗都打发各回各家去了.

13:3 Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines that was at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
约拿单攻击在迦巴的非利士人的防营, 非利士人听见了. 扫罗就在遍地吹角, 意思说, 要使希伯来人听见.

13:4 And all Israel did hear, saying, “Saul has defeated the garrison of the Philistines; and also, Israel has become a stench among the Philistines!” So the people were called out after Saul at Gilgal.
以色列众人听见扫罗攻击非利士人的防营, 又听见以色列人为非利士人所憎恶, 就跟随扫罗聚集在吉甲.

13:5 And the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and an army as numerous as sand which is on the seashore. And they came up and encamped at Micmash, east of Beth Aven.
非利士人聚集, 要与以色列人争战, 有车三万辆, 马兵六千, 步兵像海边的沙那样多, 就上来在伯‧亚文东边的密抹安营.

13:6 When the men of Israel saw that it was too difficult for them, because the army was hard pressed, the people hid themselves in the caves, in the thorn bushes, in the cliffs, in the vaults and in the wells.
以色列百姓见自己危急窘迫, 就藏在山洞,丛林,石穴,隐密处, 和坑中.

13:7 Some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. But Saul was still at Gilgal, and all the army followed him trembling.
有些希伯来人过了约旦河, 逃到迦得和基列地. 扫罗还是在吉甲, 百姓都战战兢兢地跟随他.

13:8 He waited seven days according to the appointed time Samuel determined, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the army started to slip away from him.
扫罗照着撒母耳所定的日期等了七日. 撒母耳还没有来到吉甲, 百姓也离开扫罗散去了.

13:9 So Saul said, “Bring here to me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.” Then he offered up the burnt offering.
扫罗说: “把燔祭和平安祭带到我这里来. ”扫罗就献上燔祭.

13:10 Just as he finished offering the burnt sacrifice, Samuel was coming. So Saul went out to meet him and to bless him.
刚献完燔祭, 撒母耳就到了. 扫罗出去迎接他, 要问他好.

13:11 But Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the army was scattering from me and you did not come at the appointed time and that the Philistines had gathered at Micmash,
撒母耳说: “你做的是甚么事呢? ”扫罗说: “因为我见百姓离开我散去, 你也不照所定的日期来到, 而且非利士人聚集在密抹.

13:12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not yet implored the face of Yahweh.’ So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering.”
所以我心里说: 恐怕我没有祷告耶和华. 非利士人下到吉甲攻击我, 我就勉强献上燔祭. ”

13:13 Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have behaved foolishly! You have not kept the command of Yahweh your God which he commanded you. For then, Yahweh would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.
撒母耳对扫罗说: “你做了糊涂事了, 没有遵守耶和华─你神所吩咐你的命令. 若遵守, 耶和华必在以色列中坚立你的王位, 直到永远.

13:14 But now, your kingdom will not endure. Yahweh has sought for himself a man according to his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him as leader over his people, because you have not kept what Yahweh commanded you.”
现在你的王位必不长久. 耶和华已经寻着一个合他心意的人, 立他作百姓的君, 因为你没有遵守耶和华所吩咐你的. ”

13:15 Then Samuel got up and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul mustered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men.
撒母耳就起来, 从吉甲上到便雅悯的基比亚. 扫罗数点跟随他的, 约有六百人.

13:16 Saul and Jonathan his son and the army that remained with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, and the Philistines encamped at Micmash.
扫罗和他儿子约拿单, 并跟随他们的人, 都住在便雅悯的迦巴; 但非利士人安营在密抹.

13:17 The raiders went out from the camp of the Philistines in three divisions. One division turned on the road to Ophrah toward the land of Shual.
有掠兵从非利士营中出来, 分为三队: 一队往俄弗拉向书亚地去,

13:18 One division turned on the road to Beth Horon, and one turned on the road toward the border overlooking the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
一队往伯‧和仑去, 一队往洗波音谷对面的地境向旷野去.

13:19 Now no skilled craftsman could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had said, “So that the Hebrews cannot make swords or spears for themselves.”
那时, 以色列全地没有一个铁匠; 因为非利士人说, 恐怕希伯来人制造刀枪.

13:20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to have his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his iron plowshare sharpened.
以色列人要磨锄,犁,斧,铲, 就下到非利士人那里去磨.

13:21 The charge was two-thirds of a shekel for the plowshare and for the mattock, and a third of a shekel for the pick and for the axe, and to set the goading sticks.
但有锉可以锉铲,犁,三齿叉,斧子, 并赶牛锥.

13:22 So on the day of battle, there was not a sword or a spear found in the hands of all the army that was with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
所以到了争战的日子, 跟随扫罗和约拿单的人没有一个手里有刀有枪的, 惟独扫罗和他儿子约拿单有.

13:23 Now the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Micmash.
非利士人的一队防兵到了密抹的隘口.

I Samuel - Chapter 14

14:1 One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to his armor bearer, “Come and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines which is over there.” But he did not tell his father.
有一日, 扫罗的儿子约拿单对拿他兵器的少年人说: “我们不如过到那边, 到非利士人的防营那里去. ”但他没有告诉父亲.

14:2 Now Saul was staying at the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree that was in Migron, and the troops that were with him were about six hundred men.
扫罗在基比亚的尽边, 坐在米矶仑的石榴树下, 跟随他的约有六百人.

14:3 Now Ahijah, the son of Ahitub (the brother of Ichabod), the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh at Shiloh, was carrying an ephod. The troops did not know that Jonathan had gone.
在那里有亚希突的儿子亚希亚, 穿着以弗得. (亚希突是以迦博的哥哥, 非尼哈的儿子, 以利的孙子. 以利从前在示罗作耶和华的祭司. )约拿单去了, 百姓却不知道.

14:4 Now between the passes where Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines there was a crag of rock on one side and a crag of rock on the other. The name of the one was Bozez and the name of the other was Seneh.
约拿单要从隘口过到非利士防营那里去. 这隘口两边各有一个山峰: 一名播薛, 一名西尼;

14:5 The one crag on the north was opposite Micmash and the other on the south was opposite Geba.
一峰向北, 与密抹相对, 一峰向南, 与迦巴相对.

14:6 So Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come, let us go over to the garrisons of these uncircumcised; perhaps Yahweh will act for us, for there is no hindrance for Yahweh to save by many or by few.”
约拿单对拿兵器的少年人说: “我们不如过到未受割礼人的防营那里去, 或者耶和华为我们施展能力; 因为耶和华使人得胜, 不在乎人多人少. ”

14:7 And his armor bearer said, “Do all that is in your heart that you are inclined to do. I am with you all of the way!
拿兵器的对他说: “随你的心意行吧. 你可以上去, 我必跟随你, 与你同心. ”

14:8 Then Jonathan said, “Look, we are about to go over to the men; and we will show ourselves to them.
约拿单说: “我们要过到那些人那里去, 使他们看见我们.

14:9 If they say to us: ‘Wait until we reach you,’ then we will stand as we are and not go up to them.
他们若对我们说: ‘你们站住, 等我们到你们那里去’, 我们就站住, 不上他们那里去.

14:10 But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has given them into our hand, and this will be the sign for us.”
他们若说: ‘你们上到我们这里来’, 这话就是我们的证据; 我们便上去, 因为耶和华将他们交在我们手里了. ”

14:11 So the two of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, and the Philistines said, “The Hebrews are coming out from the holes in which they have hidden themselves.”
二人就使非利士的防兵看见. 非利士人说: “希伯来人从所藏的洞穴里出来了! ”

14:12 Then the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, “Come up to us and we will show you something!” Then Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has given them into the hand of Israel!”
防兵对约拿单和拿兵器的人说: “你们上到这里来, 我们有一件事指示你们. ”约拿单就对拿兵器的人说: “你跟随我上去, 因为耶和华将他们交在以色列人手里了. ”

14:13 So Jonathan went up on his hands and his feet, with his armor bearer after him. They fell before Jonathan and then his armor bearer would kill them after him.
约拿单就爬上去, 拿兵器的人跟随他. 约拿单杀倒非利士人, 拿兵器的人也随着杀他们.

14:14 So was the first attack in which Jonathan and his armor bearer killed about twenty men within about half of a furrow in an acre of an open field.
约拿单和拿兵器的人起头所杀的约有二十人, 都在一亩地的半犁沟之内.

14:15 Then there was terror in the camp, in the open field, and among all the army of the garrison. Even the raiders trembled. The earth shook, and it became a very great panic.
于是在营中,在田野,在众民内都有战兢, 防兵和掠兵也都战兢, 地也震动, 战兢之势甚大.

14:16 And the lookouts of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw that the multitude surged back and forth.
在便雅悯的基比亚, 扫罗的守望兵看见非利士的军众溃散, 四围乱窜.

14:17 Saul said to the troops that were with him, “Please call the roll and see who has gone from us.” So they called the roll and found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
扫罗就对跟随他的民说: “你们查点查点, 看从我们这里出去的是谁? ”他们一查点, 就知道约拿单和拿兵器的人没有在这里.

14:18 Then Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring near the ark of God” (for the ark of God was at that time with the Israelites).
那时神的约柜在以色列人那里. 扫罗对亚希亚说: “你将神的约柜运了来. ”

14:19 While Saul was still speaking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more, so Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
扫罗正与祭司说话的时候, 非利士营中的喧嚷越发大了; 扫罗就对祭司说: “停手吧! ”

14:20 Then Saul and all the troops who were with him were assembled on command and came up to the battle, and look! Each Philistine’s sword was against his friend; and there was a very great confusion.
扫罗和跟随他的人都聚集, 来到战场, 看见非利士人用刀互相击杀, 大大惶乱.

14:21 The Hebrews who had been for the Philistines previously, who had gone up with them into the camp all around, even they joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
从前由四方来跟随非利士军的希伯来人现在也转过来, 帮助跟随扫罗和约拿单的以色列人了.

14:22 All the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, so even they pursued them closely in the battle.
那藏在以法莲山地的以色列人听说非利士人逃跑, 就出来紧紧地追杀他们.

14:23 So on that day Yahweh delivered Israel, and the battle shifted to Beth Aven.
那日, 耶和华使以色列人得胜, 一直战到伯‧亚文.

14:24 Now the men of Israel were hard pressed on that day, because Saul had made the army take an oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats any food until evening, when I will have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the army tasted any food.
扫罗叫百姓起誓说, 凡不等到晚上向敌人报完了仇吃甚么的, 必受咒诅. 因此这日百姓没有吃甚么, 就极其困惫.

14:25 (Now all the people of the land used to go into the forest, for there was honey on the surface of the ground.)
众民进入树林, 见有蜜在地上.

14:26 When the army came to the forest, look! There was honey flowing, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the army was afraid of the solemn oath.
他们进了树林, 见有蜜流下来, 却没有人敢用手取蜜入口, 因为他们怕那誓言.

14:27 However, Jonathan had not heard about the oath of his father with the army, so he extended the end of the staff which was in his hand, and he dipped it into the honeycomb. Then he put his hand to his mouth and his eyes gleamed.
约拿单没有听见他父亲叫百姓起誓, 所以伸手中的杖, 用杖头蘸在蜂房里, 转手送入口内, 眼睛就明亮了.

14:28 Then a man from the army informed him and said, “Your father made the army swear a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today,’ ” so the army is exhausted.
百姓中有一人对他说: “你父亲曾叫百姓严严地起誓说, 今日吃甚么的, 必受咒诅; 因此百姓就疲乏了. ”

14:29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has brought trouble on the land! See now that my eyes have brightened because I have tasted a little of this honey.
约拿单说: “我父亲连累你们了. 你看, 我尝了这一点蜜, 眼睛就明亮了.

14:30 How much more could have been done if the troops had eaten freely today from the plunder of their enemies that they had found! For now the loss among the Philistines is not great.”
今日百姓若任意吃了从仇敌所夺的物, 击杀的非利士人岂不更多吗? ”

14:31 They defeated the Philistines that day from Micmash to Aijalon, and the troops were very weary.
这日, 以色列人击杀非利士人, 从密抹直到亚雅仑. 百姓甚是疲乏,

14:32 Then the troops took the plunder: they took sheep and cattle and calves and slaughtered them on the ground and the troops ate them all with the blood.
就急忙将所夺的牛羊和牛犊宰于地上, 肉还带血就吃了.

14:33 So they reported it to Saul, saying, “Look! The troops are sinning against Yahweh by eating the animals with the blood!” And he said, “You have dealt treacherously! Roll to me a large stone today!”
有人告诉扫罗说: “百姓吃带血的肉, 得罪耶和华了. ”扫罗说: “你们有罪了, 今日要将大石头滚到我这里来. ”

14:34 Then Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the troops and say to them, ‘Bring to me each one his ox and each his sheep and slaughter them in this place and eat, but do not sin against Yahweh by eating the animals with the blood.’ ” So all the troops brought them, each leading his ox in his hand that night, and slaughtered it there.
扫罗又说: “你们散在百姓中, 对他们说, 你们各人将牛羊牵到我这里来宰了吃, 不可吃带血的肉得罪耶和华. ”这夜, 百姓就把牛羊牵到那里宰了.

14:35 Then Saul built an altar to Yahweh; it was the first altar he built to Yahweh.
扫罗为耶和华筑了一座坛, 这是他初次为耶和华筑的坛.

14:36 Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and let us plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave alive a man among them.” So they said, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” But the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”
扫罗说: “我们不如夜里下去追赶非利士人, 抢掠他们, 直到天亮, 不留他们一人. ”众民说: “你看怎样好就去行吧! ”祭司说: “我们先当亲近神. ”

14:37 So Saul inquired of God, “Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him on that day.
扫罗求问神说: “我下去追赶非利士人可以不可以? 你将他们交在以色列人手里不交? ”这日神没有回答他.

14:38 Then Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, so that we find out what the sin was this day.
扫罗说: “你们百姓中的长老都上这里来, 查明今日是谁犯了罪.

14:39 For as Yahweh lives, who delivers Israel, I swear that even if it is in Jonathan my son, he will certainly die!” But nobody from all the army answered him.
我指著救以色列─永生的耶和华起誓, 就是我儿子约拿单犯了罪, 他也必死. ”但百姓中无一人回答他.

14:40 Then he said to all Israel, “You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other.” And the army said to Saul, “Do what is good in your eyes.”
扫罗就对以色列众人说: “你们站在一边, 我与我儿子约拿单也站在一边. ”百姓对扫罗说: “你看怎样好就去行吧! ”

14:41 Then Saul said to Yahweh the God of Israel, “Render a decision perfectly.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen by lot and the people went out.
扫罗祷告耶和华─以色列的神说: “求你指示实情. ”于是掣签掣出扫罗和约拿单来; 百姓尽都无事.

14:42 Then Saul said, “Let them cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan,” and Jonathan was chosen.
扫罗说: “你们再掣签, 看是我, 是我儿子约拿单”, 就掣出约拿单来.

14:43 So Saul said, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him and said, “I merely tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die.”
扫罗对约拿单说: “你告诉我, 你做了甚么事? ”约拿单说: “我实在以手里的杖, 用杖头蘸了一点蜜尝了一尝. 这样我就死吗(或译: 吧! )? ”

14:44 Then Saul said, “So may God do to me and more, you will certainly die today, Jonathan!”
扫罗说: “约拿单哪, 你定要死! 若不然, 愿神重重地降罚与我. ”

14:45 But the army said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die, who accomplished this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, not a hair from his head will fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the army ransomed Jonathan and he did not die.
百姓对扫罗说: “约拿单在以色列人中这样大行拯救, 岂可使他死呢? 断乎不可! 我们指著永生的耶和华起誓, 连他的一根头发也不可落地, 因为他今日与神一同做事. ”于是百姓救约拿单免了死亡.

14:46 Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their place.
扫罗回去, 不追赶非利士人; 非利士人也回本地去了.

14:47 So Saul took the kingship over Israel, and he fought all around against his enemies, against Moab, against the Ammonites, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. He inflicted punishment against all who rebelled.
扫罗执掌以色列的国权, 常常攻击他四围的一切仇敌, 就是摩押人,亚扪人,以东人, 和琐巴诸王, 并非利士人. 他无论往何处去, 都打败仇敌.

14:48 He acted bravely and defeated the Amalekites and rescued Israel from the hand of those who plundered it.
扫罗奋勇攻击亚玛力人, 救了以色列人脱离抢掠他们之人的手.

14:49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua; the names of his two daughters were as follows: the name of the firstborn was Merab and the younger was Michal.
扫罗的儿子是约拿单,亦施韦,麦基舒亚. 他的两个女儿: 长女名米拉, 次女名米甲.

14:50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz, and the name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
扫罗的妻名叫亚希暖, 是亚希玛斯的女儿. 扫罗的元帅名叫押尼珥, 是尼珥的儿子; 尼珥是扫罗的叔叔.

14:51 Now Kish was the father of Saul, but Ner, the father of Abner, was the son of Abiel.
扫罗的父亲基士, 押尼珥的父亲尼珥, 都是亚别的儿子.

14:52 Warfare was severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul. Whenever Saul saw anyone who was a mighty warrior or any brave man, he conscripted him into his service.
扫罗平生常与非利士人大大争战. 扫罗遇见有能力的人或勇士, 都招募了来跟随他.

I Samuel - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you as king over his people Israel. So then, listen to the words of Yahweh!
撒母耳对扫罗说: “耶和华差遣我膏你为王, 治理他的百姓以色列; 所以你当听从耶和华的话.

15:2 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘I have observed what Amalek did to Israel, how he opposed him when he went up from Egypt.
万军之耶和华如此说: ‘以色列人出埃及的时候, 在路上亚玛力人怎样待他们, 怎样抵挡他们, 我都没忘.

15:3 So then, go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that is his! You must not spare him, but kill both man and woman, both child and nursing infant, both ox and sheep, both camel and donkey.’ ”
现在你要去击打亚玛力人, 灭尽他们所有的, 不可怜惜他们, 将男女,孩童,吃奶的, 并牛,羊,骆驼, 和驴尽行杀死. ’”

15:4 Saul summoned the army and mustered them at Telaim; two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.
于是扫罗招聚百姓在提拉因, 数点他们, 共有步兵二十万, 另有犹大人一万.

15:5 Then Saul came up to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the wadi.
扫罗到了亚玛力的京城, 在谷中设下埋伏.

15:6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, leave! Withdraw from among the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you with them. You have shown loyal love to all the Israelites when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites left from among the Amalekites.
扫罗对基尼人说: “你们离开亚玛力人下去吧, 恐怕我将你们和亚玛力人一同杀灭; 因为以色列人出埃及的时候, 你们曾恩待他们. ”于是基尼人离开亚玛力人去了.

15:7 Then Saul defeated the Amalekites from Havilah as one goes to Shur which is east of Egypt.
扫罗击打亚玛力人, 从哈腓拉直到埃及前的书珥,

15:8 He captured Agag the king of Amalek alive, but all the people he utterly destroyed with the edge of the sword.
生擒了亚玛力王亚甲, 用刀杀尽亚玛力的众民.

15:9 However, Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and the cattle and the second best of the young fatlings and all that was valuable; they were not willing to utterly destroy them. But all the possessions that were despised or worthless, they utterly destroyed.
扫罗和百姓却怜惜亚甲, 也爱惜上好的牛,羊,牛犊,羊羔, 并一切美物, 不肯灭绝. 凡下贱瘦弱的, 尽都杀了.

15:10 Then the word of Yahweh came to Samuel, saying,
耶和华的话临到撒母耳说:

15:11 “I regret that I made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me and has not kept my word.” Samuel became angry, and he cried out to Yahweh all night.
“我立扫罗为王, 我后悔了; 因为他转去不跟从我, 不遵守我的命令. ”撒母耳便甚忧愁, 终夜哀求耶和华.

15:12 Then Samuel got up early in the morning to meet Saul. Samuel was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel, and look, he is setting up a monument for himself.” Then he turned around and crossed over and went down to Gilgal.
撒母耳清早起来, 迎接扫罗. 有人告诉撒母耳说: “扫罗到了迦密, 在那里立了纪念碑, 又转身下到吉甲. ”

15:13 When Samuel came to Saul, Saul said to him, “May you be blessed by Yahweh! I have kept the word of Yahweh.”
撒母耳到了扫罗那里, 扫罗对他说: “愿耶和华赐福与你, 耶和华的命令我已遵守了. ”

15:14 But Samuel said, “Then what is this bleating of the sheep that I hear in my ears and the lowing of the cattle that I am hearing?”
撒母耳说: “我耳中听见有羊叫,牛鸣, 是从哪里来的呢? ”

15:15 Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; the troops spared the best of the sheep and the cattle in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God. But the rest we have utterly destroyed.”
扫罗说: “这是百姓从亚玛力人那里带来的; 因为他们爱惜上好的牛羊, 要献与耶和华─你的神; 其余的, 我们都灭尽了. ”

15:16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stop and let me tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” So he said to him, “Speak.”
撒母耳对扫罗说: “你住口吧! 等我将耶和华昨夜向我所说的话告诉你. ”扫罗说: “请讲. ”

15:17 Samuel said, “Even though you are small in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh has anointed you as king over Israel.
撒母耳对扫罗说: “从前你虽然以自己为小, 岂不是被立为以色列支派的元首吗? 耶和华膏你作以色列的王.

15:18 When Yahweh sent you on your way, he said to you: ‘Go! You must utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and you must fight against them until you have destroyed them.’
耶和华差遣你, 吩咐你说, 你去击打那些犯罪的亚玛力人, 将他们灭绝净尽.

15:19 Why did you not listen to the voice of Yahweh and fall with shouting on the plunder? You have done evil in the sight of Yahweh!”
你为何没有听从耶和华的命令, 急忙掳掠财物, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事呢? ”

15:20 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have listened to the voice of Yahweh, and I have gone on the way that Yahweh sent me! I brought Agag the king of Amalek, and the Amalekites I have utterly destroyed.
扫罗对撒母耳说: “我实在听从了耶和华的命令, 行了耶和华所差遣我行的路, 擒了亚玛力王亚甲来, 灭尽了亚玛力人.

15:21 The troops took from the plunder, sheep and cattle, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God at Gilgal.”
百姓却在所当灭的物中, 取了最好的牛羊, 要在吉甲献与耶和华─你的神. ”

15:22 Then Samuel said, “Is there as much delight for Yahweh in burnt offerings and sacrifices as there is in obeying Yahweh? Look! To obey is better than sacrifice; to give heed than the fat of rams.
撒母耳说: 耶和华喜悦燔祭和平安祭, 岂如喜悦人听从他的话呢? 听命胜于献祭; 顺从胜于公羊的脂油.

15:23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination; arrogance is like iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, he has rejected you from being king!”
悖逆的罪与行邪术的罪相等; 顽梗的罪与拜虚神和偶像的罪相同. 你既厌弃耶和华的命令, 耶和华也厌弃你作王.

15:24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh and your words, for I feared the troops and I listened to their voice.
扫罗对撒母耳说: “我有罪了, 我因惧怕百姓, 听从他们的话, 就违背了耶和华的命令和你的言语.

15:25 So then, please pardon my sin and return with me so that I can worship Yahweh.”
现在求你赦免我的罪, 同我回去, 我好敬拜耶和华. ”

15:26 But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of Yahweh, and he has rejected you from being king over Israel!”
撒母耳对扫罗说: “我不同你回去; 因为你厌弃耶和华的命令, 耶和华也厌弃你作以色列的王. ”

15:27 As Samuel turned around to go, he caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.
撒母耳转身要走, 扫罗就扯住他外袍的衣襟, 衣襟就撕断了.

15:28 Then Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
撒母耳对他说: “如此, 今日耶和华使以色列国与你断绝, 将这国赐与比你更好的人.

15:29 Moreover, the Glory of Israel will not break faith and will not regret, for he is not a human that he should regret.”
以色列的大能者必不致说谎, 也不致后悔; 因为他迥非世人, 决不后悔. ”

15:30 Then he said, “I have sinned! Now please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me so that I can worship Yahweh your God.”
扫罗说: “我有罪了, 虽然如此, 求你在我百姓的长老和以色列人面前抬举我, 同我回去, 我好敬拜耶和华─你的神. ”

15:31 So Samuel returned after Saul, and Saul worshiped Yahweh.
于是撒母耳转身跟随扫罗回去, 扫罗就敬拜耶和华.

15:32 Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of Amalek out to me!” Agag came to him confidently, for Agag thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is over.”
撒母耳说: “要把亚玛力王亚甲带到我这里来. ”亚甲就欢欢喜喜地来到他面前, 心里说, 死亡的苦难必定过去了.

15:33 Samuel said, “Just as your sword bereaved women, so will your mother be bereaved among women!” Then Samuel hacked Agag to pieces in the presence of Yahweh at Gilgal.
撒母耳说: “你既用刀使妇人丧子, 这样, 你母亲在妇人中也必丧子. ”于是, 撒母耳在吉甲耶和华面前将亚甲杀死.

15:34 Then Samuel went to Ramah and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.
撒母耳回了拉玛. 扫罗上他所住的基比亚, 回自己的家去了.

15:35 Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel mourned over Saul, and Yahweh regretted that he made Saul king over Israel.
撒母耳直到死的日子, 再没有见扫罗; 但撒母耳为扫罗悲伤, 是因耶和华后悔立他为以色列的王.

I Samuel - Chapter 16

16:1 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn about Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel! Fill up your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have chosen a king for myself among his sons.”
耶和华对撒母耳说: “我既厌弃扫罗作以色列的王, 你为他悲伤要到几时呢? 你将膏油盛满了角, 我差遣你往伯利恒人耶西那里去; 因为我在他众子之内, 预定一个作王的. ”

16:2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears, he will kill me.” Yahweh said, “You must take a heifer from the herd with you, and you must say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh.’
撒母耳说: “我怎能去呢? 扫罗若听见, 必要杀我. ”耶和华说: “你可以带一只牛犊去, 就说: ‘我来是要向耶和华献祭. ’

16:3 You will invite Jesse to the sacrifice and I will make known to you what you must do. You will anoint for me the one whom I tell you.”
你要请耶西来吃祭肉, 我就指示你所当行的事. 我所指给你的人, 你要膏他. ”

16:4 So Samuel did what Yahweh said. He came to Bethlehem, and the elders of the city came trembling to meet him. They said, “Have you come in peace?”
撒母耳就照耶和华的话去行. 到了伯利恒, 那城里的长老都战战兢兢地出来迎接他, 问他说: “你是为平安来的吗? ”

16:5 He said, “I come in peace. I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” So he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
他说: “为平安来的, 我是给耶和华献祭. 你们当自洁, 来与我同吃祭肉. ”撒母耳就使耶西和他众子自洁, 请他们来吃祭肉.

16:6 When they came, he saw Eliab and said, “Surely his anointed one is before Yahweh!”
他们来的时候, 撒母耳看见以利押, 就心里说, 耶和华的受膏者必定在他面前.

16:7 But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For God does not see what man sees, for a man looks on the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks on the heart.”
耶和华却对撒母耳说: “不要看他的外貌和他身材高大, 我不拣选他. 因为, 耶和华不像人看人: 人是看外貌; 耶和华是看内心. ”

16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel, and he said, “This one also Yahweh has not chosen.”
耶西叫亚比拿达从撒母耳面前经过, 撒母耳说: “耶和华也不拣选他. ”

16:9 So Jesse made Shammah pass before Samuel, but he said, “Yahweh also has not chosen this one.”
耶西又叫沙玛从撒母耳面前经过, 撒母耳说: “耶和华也不拣选他. ”

16:10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, “Yahweh has not chosen any of these.”
耶西叫他七个儿子都从撒母耳面前经过, 撒母耳说: “这都不是耶和华所拣选的. ”

16:11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” And he said, “The youngest still remains, but look, he is shepherding the flock.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him, for we cannot sit down until he comes here.”
撒母耳对耶西说: “你的儿子都在这里吗? ”他回答说: “还有个小的, 现在放羊. ”撒母耳对耶西说: “你打发人去叫他来; 他若不来, 我们必不坐席. ”

16:12 So he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy with beautiful eyes and of handsome appearance. And Yahweh said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”
耶西就打发人去叫了他来. 他面色光红, 双目清秀, 容貌俊美. 耶和华说: “这就是他, 你起来膏他. ”

16:13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. Then the Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon David from that day on. Then Samuel got up and went to Ramah.
撒母耳就用角里的膏油, 在他诸兄中膏了他. 从这日起, 耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫. 撒母耳起身回拉玛去了.

16:14 Now the Spirit of Yahweh departed from Saul and an evil spirit from Yahweh tormented him.
耶和华的灵离开扫罗, 有恶魔从耶和华那里来扰乱他.

16:15 So the servants of Saul said to him, “Look please, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.
扫罗的臣仆对他说: “现在有恶魔从神那里来扰乱你.

16:16 Please, let our lord command your servants who are before you! Let them seek a man skilled in playing on the lyre. When the evil spirit from God is upon you, he can play on it and you will feel better.”
我们的主可以吩咐面前的臣仆, 找一个善于弹琴的来, 等神那里来的恶魔临到你身上的时候, 使他用手弹琴, 你就好了. ”

16:17 So Saul said to his servants, “Please select a man who plays a stringed instrument well and bring him to me.”
扫罗对臣仆说: “你们可以为我找一个善于弹琴的, 带到我这里来. ”

16:18 One of the servants answered and said, “Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing a stringed instrument, a brave man, a warrior, prudent in speech, and handsome. And Yahweh is with him.”
其中有一个少年人说: “我曾见伯利恒人耶西的一个儿子善于弹琴, 是大有勇敢的战士, 说话合宜, 容貌俊美, 耶和华也与他同在. ”

16:19 So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me David your son who is with the sheep.”
于是扫罗差遣使者去见耶西, 说: “请你打发你放羊的儿子大卫到我这里来. ”

16:20 And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread and a skin of wine and one young goat and sent them to Saul by the hand of David his son.
耶西就把几个饼和一皮袋酒, 并一只山羊羔, 都驮在驴上, 交给他儿子大卫, 送与扫罗.

16:21 So David came to Saul and entered his service. He loved him greatly and he became Saul’s armor bearer.
大卫到了扫罗那里, 就侍立在扫罗面前. 扫罗甚喜爱他, 他就作了扫罗拿兵器的人.

16:22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, because he has found favor in my sight.”
扫罗差遣人去见耶西, 说: “求你容大卫侍立在我面前, 因为他在我眼前蒙了恩. ”

16:23 So whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the stringed instrument and play it with his hand. Then it would bring relief for Saul; he would feel better and the evil spirit would depart from him.
从神那里来的恶魔临到扫罗身上的时候, 大卫就拿琴, 用手而弹, 扫罗便舒畅爽快, 恶魔离了他.

I Samuel - Chapter 17

17:1 The Philistines gathered their camps for battle and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah. They camped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes Dammim.
非利士人招聚他们的军旅, 要来争战; 聚集在属犹大的梭哥, 安营在梭哥和亚西加中间的以弗‧大悯.

17:2 Then Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and encamped in the valley of Elah, and they formed ranks for the battle to meet the Philistines.
扫罗和以色列人也聚集, 在以拉谷安营, 摆列队伍, 要与非利士人打仗.

17:3 The Philistines were standing on the hill on one side and the army of Israel was standing on the hill on the other side with the valley between them.
非利士人站在这边山上, 以色列人站在那边山上, 当中有谷.

17:4 Then a champion went out from the camps of the Philistines, whose name was Goliath from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span.
从非利士营中出来一个讨战的人, 名叫歌利亚, 是迦特人, 身高六肘零一虎口;

17:5 A bronze helmet was on his head, and he was clothed with scale body armor; the weight of the body armor was five thousand bronze shekels.
头戴铜盔, 身穿铠甲, 甲重五千舍客勒;

17:6 Bronze greaves were on his legs, and a bronze javelin was slung between his shoulders.
腿上有铜护膝, 两肩之中背负铜戟;

17:7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam and the point of his spear weighed six hundred iron shekels. His shield bearer was walking in front of him.
枪杆粗如织布的机轴, 铁枪头重六百舍客勒. 有一个拿盾牌的人在他前面走.

17:8 He stood and called to the battle lines of Israel and said to them, “Why have you come out to form ranks for battle? Am I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Commission for yourselves a man and let him come down to me.
歌利亚对着以色列的军队站立, 呼叫说: “你们出来摆列队伍做甚么呢? 我不是非利士人吗? 你们不是扫罗的仆人吗? 可以从你们中间拣选一人, 使他下到我这里来.

17:9 If he is able to fight with me and he defeats me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail over him and defeat him, then you will be our servants and you will serve us.”
他若能与我战斗, 将我杀死, 我们就作你们的仆人; 我若胜了他, 将他杀死, 你们就作我们的仆人, 服事我们. ”

17:10 Then the Philistine said, “I hereby defy the battle lines of Israel today! Give me a man so that we may fight each other!”
那非利士人又说: “我今日向以色列人的军队骂阵. 你们叫一个人出来, 与我战斗. ”

17:11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and very afraid.
扫罗和以色列众人听见非利士人的这些话, 就惊惶, 极其害怕.

17:12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite. This man was from Bethlehem of Judah, and his name was Jesse. He had eight sons; in the days of Saul this man was old, yet he still walked among the men.
大卫是犹大,伯利恒的以法他人耶西的儿子. 耶西有八个儿子. 当扫罗的时候, 耶西已经老迈.

17:13 The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, his second oldest was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah.
耶西的三个大儿子跟随扫罗出征. 这出征的三个儿子: 长子名叫以利押, 次子名叫亚比拿达, 三子名叫沙玛.

17:14 Now David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul,
大卫是最小的; 那三个大儿子跟随扫罗.

17:15 but David went back and forth from Saul to feed the sheep of his father in Bethlehem.
大卫有时离开扫罗, 回伯利恒放他父亲的羊.

17:16 Now the Philistine came forward early and late, and he took his stand for forty days.
那非利士人早晚都出来站着, 如此四十日.

17:17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Please take for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread, and bring them quickly to the camp for your brothers.
一日, 耶西对他儿子大卫说: “你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十个饼, 速速地送到营里去, 交给你哥哥们;

17:18 And these ten portions of cheese you will bring to the commander of the thousand; find out how your brothers are doing, and take their pledge.”
再拿这十块奶饼, 送给他们的千夫长, 且问你哥哥们好, 向他们要一封信来. ”

17:19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah fighting the Philistines.
扫罗与大卫的三个哥哥和以色列众人, 在以拉谷与非利士人打仗.

17:20 David rose early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and he took the provisions and went as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the encampment while the troops were going to the battle line, and they raised the war cry.
大卫早晨起来, 将羊交托一个看守的人, 照着他父亲所吩咐的话, 带着食物去了. 到了辎重营, 军兵刚出到战场, 呐喊要战.

17:21 Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle lines, one battle line against the other.
以色列人和非利士人都摆列队伍, 彼此相对.

17:22 David left the baggage he had with him in the care of the baggage keeper, ran to the battle line, and came and asked how his brothers were doing.
大卫把他带来的食物留在看守物件人的手下, 跑到战场, 问他哥哥们安.

17:23 While he was speaking to them, the champion, whose name was Goliath the Philistine from Gath, was coming up from the caves of the Philistines. He spoke just as he had previously, and David heard his words.
与他们说话的时候, 那讨战的, 就是属迦特的非利士人歌利亚, 从非利士队中出来, 说从前所说的话; 大卫都听见了.

17:24 When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from his presence and were very afraid.
以色列众人看见那人, 就逃跑, 极其害怕.

17:25 And the men of Israel said, “Did you see this man who has come up? For he is going up to defy Israel! It will be that the man who defeats him, the king will make him very rich with great wealth and will give him his daughter in marriage and will make his father’s house free in Israel.”
以色列人彼此说: “这上来的人你看见了吗? 他上来是要向以色列人骂阵. 若有能杀他的, 王必赏赐他大财, 将自己的女儿给他为妻, 并在以色列人中免他父家纳粮当差. ”

17:26 Now David had spoken to the men who were standing with him, saying, “What will be done for the man who defeats this Philistine and removes the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he defies the battle lines of the living God?”
大卫问站在旁边的人说: “有人杀这非利士人, 除掉以色列人的耻辱, 怎样待他呢? 这未受割礼的非利士人是谁呢? 竟敢向永生神的军队骂阵吗? ”

17:27 And the troops had spoken to him according to this word, saying, “So it will be done for the man who defeats him.”
百姓照先前的话回答他说: “有人能杀这非利士人, 必如此如此待他. ”

17:28 His oldest brother Eliab heard while he was speaking to the men, and Eliab became very angry against David and said, “Why have you come down today, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumptuousness and the evil of your heart! For you have come down in order to see the battle!”
大卫的长兄以利押听见大卫与他们所说的话, 就向他发怒, 说: “你下来做甚么呢? 在旷野的那几只羊, 你交托了谁呢? 我知道你的骄傲和你心里的恶意, 你下来特为要看争战! ”

17:29 David replied, “What have I done now? I merely asked a question!
大卫说: “我做了甚么呢? 我来岂没有缘故吗? ”

17:30 He turned around from him to another opposite him and he spoke to him in the same way, and the people answered him as before.
大卫就离开他转向别人, 照先前的话而问; 百姓仍照先前的话回答他.

17:31 Now the words which David had spoken were heard and they reported them to Saul, and he summoned him.
有人听见大卫所说的话, 就告诉了扫罗; 扫罗便打发人叫他来.

17:32 David said to Saul, “Do not let anyone’s heart fail concerning him! Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
大卫对扫罗说: “人都不必因那非利士人胆怯. 你的仆人要去与那非利士人战斗. ”

17:33 But Saul said to David, “You will not be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, because you are only a boy, whereas he has been a man of war since his childhood!”
扫罗对大卫说: “你不能去与那非利士人战斗; 因为你年纪太轻, 他自幼就作战士. ”

17:34 And David said to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd of the flock for his father. If the lion or the bear would come and carry off a sheep from the group,
大卫对扫罗说: “你仆人为父亲放羊, 有时来了狮子, 有时来了熊, 从群中啣一只羊羔去.

17:35 I would go out after it and strike it down and rescue the sheep from its mouth. If it rose against me, I would grab it by its beard and strike it down and kill it.
我就追赶牠, 击打牠, 将羊羔从牠口中救出来. 牠起来要害我, 我就揪著牠的胡子, 将牠打死.

17:36 Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he defied the battle lines of the living God.”
你仆人曾打死狮子和熊, 这未受割礼的非利士人向永生神的军队骂阵, 也必像狮子和熊一般. ”

17:37 And David said, “Yahweh, who rescued me from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear, will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “Go and may Yahweh be with you!”
大卫又说: “耶和华救我脱离狮子和熊的爪, 也必救我脱离这非利士人的手. ”扫罗对大卫说: “你可以去吧! 耶和华必与你同在. ”

17:38 Then Saul clothed David with his own fighting attire and put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with body armor.
扫罗就把自己的战衣给大卫穿上, 将铜盔给他戴上, 又给他穿上铠甲.

17:39 Then David strapped on his sword over his fighting attire, but he tried in vain to walk around, for he was not trained to use them. So David said to Saul, “I am not able to walk with these, because I am not trained to use them.” So David removed them.
大卫把刀跨在战衣外, 试试能走不能走; 因为素来没有穿惯, 就对扫罗说: “我穿戴这些不能走, 因为素来没有穿惯. ”于是摘脱了.

17:40 Then he took his staff in his hand, picked out for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and he put them in his shepherd’s bag, in the pouch. And with his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine.
他手中拿杖, 又在溪中挑选了五块光滑石子, 放在袋里, 就是牧人带的囊里; 手中拿着甩石的机弦, 就去迎那非利士人.

17:41 Then the Philistine came on, getting nearer and nearer to David, with his shield bearer in front of him.
非利士人也渐渐地迎著大卫来, 拿盾牌的走在前头.

17:42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was only a boy and ruddy with a handsome appearance.
非利士人观看, 见了大卫, 就藐视他; 因为他年轻, 面色光红, 容貌俊美.

17:43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you are coming to me with sticks?” Then the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
非利士人对大卫说: “你拿杖到我这里来, 我岂是狗呢? ”非利士人就指著自己的神咒诅大卫.

17:44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me so that I can give your flesh to the birds of heaven and to the wild animals of the field!”
非利士人又对大卫说: “来吧! 我将你的肉给空中的飞鸟,田野的走兽吃. ”

17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I am coming to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the battle lines of Israel, whom you have defied!
大卫对非利士人说: “你来攻击我, 是靠着刀枪和铜戟; 我来攻击你, 是靠着万军之耶和华的名, 就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的神.

17:46 This day Yahweh will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head! Then I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of heaven and to the animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God who is for Israel.
今日耶和华必将你交在我手里. 我必杀你, 斩你的头, 又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟,地上的野兽吃, 使普天下的人都知道以色列中有神;

17:47 And all of this assembly will know that Yahweh does not rescue with sword or with spear, for the battle belongs to Yahweh, and he will give you into our hands!”
又使这众人知道耶和华使人得胜, 不是用刀用枪, 因为争战的胜败全在乎耶和华. 他必将你们交在我们手里. ”

17:48 When the Philistine got up and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly to the battle line to meet the Philistine.
非利士人起身, 迎著大卫前来. 大卫急忙迎著非利士人, 往战场跑去.

17:49 Then David put his hand into the bag and took a stone from it and slung it. He struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
大卫用手从囊中掏出一块石子来, 用机弦甩去, 打中非利士人的额, 石子进入额内, 他就仆倒, 面伏于地.

17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and he struck down the Philistine and killed him, but there was no sword in David’s hand.
这样, 大卫用机弦甩石, 胜了那非利士人, 打死他; 大卫手中却没有刀.

17:51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it from its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
大卫跑去, 站在非利士人身旁, 将他的刀从鞘中拔出来, 杀死他, 割了他的头. 非利士众人看见他们讨战的勇士死了, 就都逃跑.

17:52 The men of Israel and Judah got up, raised the war cry, and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley and up to the gates of Ekron. So the slain of the Philistines fell on the way to Shaaraim up to Gath and as far as Ekron.
以色列人和犹大人便起身呐喊, 追赶非利士人, 直到迦特(或译: 该)和以革伦的城门. 被杀的非利士人倒在沙拉音的路上, 直到迦特和以革伦.

17:53 Then the Israelites returned from pursuing the Philistines and plundered their camp.
以色列人追赶非利士人回来, 就夺了他们的营盘.

17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem and placed his weapons in his tent.
大卫将那非利士人的头拿到耶路撒冷, 却将他军装放在自己的帐棚里.

17:55 Now when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Whose son is this young man, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”
扫罗看见大卫去攻击非利士人, 就问元帅押尼珥说: “押尼珥啊, 那少年人是谁的儿子? ”押尼珥说: “我敢在王面前起誓, 我不知道. ”

17:56 Then the king said, “You inquire whose son this young man is.”
王说: “你可以问问那幼年人是谁的儿子. ”

17:57 So when David returned from striking down the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul. The head of the Philistine was in his hand.
大卫打死非利士人回来, 押尼珥领他到扫罗面前, 他手中拿着非利士人的头.

17:58 Then Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” And David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
扫罗问他说: “少年人哪, 你是谁的儿子? ”大卫说: “我是你仆人伯利恒人耶西的儿子. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 18

18:1 When he finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan became attached to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
大卫对扫罗说完了话, 约拿单的心与大卫的心深相契合. 约拿单爱大卫, 如同爱自己的性命.

18:2 Saul took him on that very day and did not allow him to return to his father’s house.
那日扫罗留住大卫, 不容他再回父家.

18:3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
约拿单爱大卫如同爱自己的性命, 就与他结盟.

18:4 Jonathan stripped off the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his fighting attire, and even his sword, his bow, and his belt.
约拿单从身上脱下外袍, 给了大卫, 又将战衣,刀,弓,腰带都给了他.

18:5 David went out whenever Saul sent him, and he succeeded. So Saul appointed him over the men of the war, and it pleased all the people and even pleased the servants of Saul.
扫罗无论差遣大卫往何处去, 他都做事精明. 扫罗就立他作战士长, 众百姓和扫罗的臣仆无不喜悦.

18:6 When they were coming back after David had returned from striking down the Philistine, the women went out from all the cities of Israel singing and dancing to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
大卫打死了那非利士人, 同众人回来的时候, 妇女们从以色列各城里出来, 欢欢喜喜, 打鼓击磬, 歌唱跳舞, 迎接扫罗王.

18:7 And the women sang as they danced, and they said, “Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands!”
众妇女舞蹈唱和, 说: “扫罗杀死千千, 大卫杀死万万. ”

18:8 Saul became very angry, and this saying displeased him, and he thought, “They have attributed to David ten thousands, but to me they have attributed thousands! What more can he have but the kingdom?”
扫罗甚发怒, 不喜悦这话, 就说: “将万万归大卫, 千千归我, 只剩下王位没有给他了. ”

18:9 So Saul was watching David with suspicion from that day onward.
从这日起, 扫罗就怒视大卫.

18:10 On the next day, the evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. Now David was playing the lyre with his hand on that day as usual, and the spear was in Saul’s hand.
次日, 从神那里来的恶魔大大降在扫罗身上, 他就在家中胡言乱语. 大卫照常弹琴, 扫罗手里拿着枪.

18:11 Then Saul hurled the spear and thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
扫罗把枪一抡, 心里说, 我要将大卫刺透, 钉在墙上. 大卫躲避他两次.

18:12 Now Saul was threatened by the presence of David because Yahweh was with him, but had departed from Saul.
扫罗惧怕大卫; 因为耶和华离开自己, 与大卫同在.

18:13 So Saul removed him from his presence, and made him commander of a thousand, so he marched in and out at the front of the army.
所以扫罗使大卫离开自己, 立他为千夫长, 他就领兵出入.

18:14 And David was achieving success in all his ways and Yahweh was with him,
大卫做事无不精明, 耶和华也与他同在.

18:15 but when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was severely threatened by him.
扫罗见大卫做事精明, 就甚怕他.

18:16 However, all of Israel and Judah were loving David, for he was going forth and marching ahead of them.
但以色列和犹大众人都爱大卫, 因为他领他们出入.

18:17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as your wife. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of Yahweh.” For Saul thought, “My hand will not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
扫罗对大卫说: “我将大女儿米拉给你为妻, 只要你为我奋勇, 为耶和华争战. ”扫罗心里说: “我不好亲手害他, 要藉非利士人的手害他. ”

18:18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, the clan of my father in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?”
大卫对扫罗说: “我是谁, 我是甚么出身, 我父家在以色列中是何等的家, 岂敢作王的女婿呢? ”

18:19 But at the time Saul’s daughter Merab was to be given to David, she was given instead to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
扫罗的女儿米拉到了当给大卫的时候, 扫罗却给了米何拉人亚得列为妻.

18:20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, so they told Saul, and the matter pleased him.
扫罗的次女米甲爱大卫. 有人告诉扫罗, 扫罗就喜悦.

18:21 And Saul thought, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a snare for him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time you can become my son-in-law today.”
扫罗心里说: “我将这女儿给大卫, 作他的网罗, 好藉非利士人的手害他. ”所以扫罗对大卫说: “你今日可以第二次作我的女婿. ”

18:22 Then Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in secret, saying, ‘Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. So then, become a son-in-law of the king.’ ”
扫罗吩咐臣仆说: “你们暗中对大卫说: ‘王喜悦你, 王的臣仆也都喜爱你, 所以你当作王的女婿. ’”

18:23 And Saul’s servants spoke these words to David privately. But David said, “Is it insignificant in your sight to become the son-in-law of the king, as I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?”
扫罗的臣仆就照这话说给大卫听. 大卫说: “你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗? 我是贫穷卑微的人. ”

18:24 So the servants of Saul informed him, saying, “This is what David said.”
扫罗的臣仆回奏说, 大卫所说的如此如此.

18:25 Then Saul said, “This is what you must say to David: ‘The king desires no bride price except for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the enemies of the king.’ ” (Now Saul had planned to allow David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.)
扫罗说: “你们要对大卫这样说: ‘王不要甚么聘礼, 只要一百非利士人的阳皮, 好在王的仇敌身上报仇. ’”扫罗的意思要使大卫丧在非利士人的手里.

18:26 So his servants told David these words, and the matter pleased David to become the son-in-law of the king as the specified time had not expired.
扫罗的臣仆将这话告诉大卫, 大卫就欢喜作王的女婿. 日期还没有到,

18:27 And David got up, and he and his men went and struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they presented the full number to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife.
大卫和跟随他的人起身前往, 杀了二百非利士人, 将阳皮满数交给王, 为要作王的女婿. 于是扫罗将女儿米甲给大卫为妻.

18:28 When Saul realized that Yahweh was with David and his own daughter Michal loved him,
扫罗见耶和华与大卫同在, 又知道女儿米甲爱大卫,

18:29 Saul was threatened by David still more, so Saul became a perpetual enemy of David.
就更怕大卫, 常作大卫的仇敌.

18:30 Then the commanders of the Philistines went out for battle, and as often as they went out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very esteemed.
每逢非利士军长出来打仗, 大卫比扫罗的臣仆做事精明, 因此他的名被人尊重.

I Samuel - Chapter 19

19:1 Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants about killing David, but Saul’s son Jonathan liked David very much.
扫罗对他儿子约拿单和众臣仆说, 要杀大卫; 扫罗的儿子约拿单却甚喜爱大卫.

19:2 So Jonathan informed David, saying, “My father Saul is trying to kill you; now please take care! In the morning you should stay in the hiding place and conceal yourself.
约拿单告诉大卫说: “我父扫罗想要杀你, 所以明日早晨你要小心, 到一个僻静地方藏身.

19:3 I will go out and stand at my father’s side in the field where you are, and I will speak about you to my father; if I find out anything I will tell it to you.”
我就出到你所藏的田里, 站在我父亲旁边与他谈论. 我看他情形怎样, 我必告诉你. ”

19:4 So Jonathan spoke well about David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his service for you has been very good.
约拿单向他父亲扫罗替大卫说好话, 说: “王不可得罪王的仆人大卫; 因为他未曾得罪你, 他所行的都与你大有益处.

19:5 He put his life in his hand and attacked the Philistine, and Yahweh brought about a great victory for all of Israel, and you saw it and rejoiced! Now why should you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?”
他拼命杀那非利士人, 耶和华为以色列众人大行拯救; 那时你看见, 甚是欢喜, 现在为何无故要杀大卫, 流无辜人的血, 自己取罪呢? ”

19:6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death!”
扫罗听了约拿单的话, 就指著永生的耶和华起誓说: “我必不杀他. ”

19:7 Jonathan called to David and told him all of these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul and he was before him as formerly.
约拿单叫大卫来, 把这一切事告诉他, 带他去见扫罗. 他就仍然侍立在扫罗面前.

19:8 War came again, so David went out and fought against the Philistines and defeated them thoroughly so that they fled before him.
此后又有争战的事. 大卫出去与非利士人打仗, 大大杀败他们, 他们就在他面前逃跑.

19:9 Then the evil spirit from Yahweh came upon Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing a stringed instrument in his hand.
从耶和华那里来的恶魔又降在扫罗身上(扫罗手里拿枪坐在屋里), 大卫就用手弹琴.

19:10 So Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall, and David fled and escaped that same night.
扫罗用枪想要刺透大卫, 钉在墙上; 他却躲开, 扫罗的枪刺入墙内. 当夜大卫逃走, 躲避了.

19:11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to guard him and to kill him in the morning, but Michal his wife told David, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, then tomorrow you will be killed!”
扫罗打发人到大卫的房屋那里窥探他, 要等到天亮杀他. 大卫的妻米甲对他说: “你今夜若不逃命, 明日你要被杀. ”

19:12 So Michal lowered David through the window, and he went and fled and escaped.
于是米甲将大卫从窗户里缒下去, 大卫就逃走, 躲避了.

19:13 Then Michal took the household god and put it on the bed and put a quilt of goat’s hair at its head and covered it with the clothes.
米甲把家中的神像放在床上, 头枕在山羊毛装的枕头上, 用被遮盖.

19:14 And Saul sent messengers to arrest David, but she said, “He is ill.”
扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫, 米甲说: “他病了. ”

19:15 So Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I can kill him.”
扫罗又打发人去看大卫, 说: “当连床将他抬来, 我好杀他. ”

19:16 When the messengers came, to their surprise the idol was on the bed with the quilt of goat’s hair at the head.
使者进去, 看见床上有神像, 头枕在山羊毛装的枕头上.

19:17 Then Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and sent away my enemy, so that he escaped?” Michal said to Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go, why should I kill you?’ ”
扫罗对米甲说: “你为甚么这样欺哄我, 放我仇敌逃走呢? ”米甲回答说: “他对我说: ‘你放我走, 不然我要杀你. ’”

19:18 So David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
大卫逃避, 来到拉玛见撒母耳, 将扫罗向他所行的事述说了一遍. 他和撒母耳就往拿约去居住.

19:19 And it was told to Saul, “David is in Naioth in Ramah.”
有人告诉扫罗, 说大卫在拉玛的拿约.

19:20 So Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying and Samuel standing as chief over them, then the Spirit of God came upon Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫. 去的人见有一班先知都受感说话, 撒母耳站在其中监管他们; 打发去的人也受神的灵感动说话.

19:21 So they told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Again Saul sent messengers a third time, and they also prophesied.
有人将这事告诉扫罗, 他又打发人去, 他们也受感说话. 扫罗第三次打发人去, 他们也受感说话.

19:22 Then he also went to Ramah. When he came to the great cistern which was in Secu, he asked and said, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “Look they are in Naioth in Ramah.”
然后扫罗自己往拉玛去, 到了西沽的大井, 问人说: “撒母耳和大卫在哪里呢? ”有人说: “在拉玛的拿约. ”

19:23 So he went there to Naioth in Ramah and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
他就往拉玛的拿约去. 神的灵也感动他, 一面走一面说话, 直到拉玛的拿约.

19:24 He also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
他就脱了衣服, 在撒母耳面前受感说话, 一昼一夜露体躺卧. 因此有句俗语说: “扫罗也列在先知中吗? ”

I Samuel - Chapter 20

20:1 Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt and what is my sin before your father that he is trying to kill me?
大卫从拉玛的拿约逃跑, 来到约拿单那里, 对他说: “我做了甚么? 有甚么罪孽呢? 在你父亲面前犯了甚么罪, 他竟寻索我的性命呢? ”

20:2 And he said to him, “Far from it! You will not die! Look, my father does not do anything large or small unless he reveals it to me. Why should my father hide this thing or anything from me?”
约拿单回答说: “断然不是! 你必不致死. 我父做事, 无论大小, 没有不叫我知道的. 怎么独有这事隐瞒我呢? 决不如此. ”

20:3 Then David took an oath again and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thought, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he worry.’ But as Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, surely there is merely a step between me and death!”
大卫又起誓说: “你父亲准知我在你眼前蒙恩. 他心里说, 不如不叫约拿单知道, 恐怕他愁烦. 我指著永生的耶和华, 又敢在你面前起誓, 我离死不过一步. ”

20:4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you wish, I will do for you.”
约拿单对大卫说: “你心里所求的, 我必为你成就. ”

20:5 David said to Jonathan, “Look, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should certainly sit with the king to eat. You must send me away so that I can hide myself in the field until the third evening.
大卫对约拿单说: “明日是初一, 我当与王同席, 求你容我去藏在田野, 直到第三日晚上.

20:6 If your father misses me at all, then you must say, ‘David earnestly asked from me to run to Bethlehem his city, for the yearly sacrifice is there for all the clan.’
你父亲若见我不在席上, 你就说: ‘大卫切求我许他回本城伯利恒去, 因为他全家在那里献年祭. ’

20:7 If he says ‘Good,’ it will mean peace for your servant; but if he is very angry, know that he has decided to do me harm.
你父亲若说好, 仆人就平安了; 他若发怒, 你就知道他决意要害我.

20:8 So you must show loyal love to your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you. But if there is guilt in me, then kill me yourself! But why should you bring me to your father?”
求你施恩与仆人, 因你在耶和华面前曾与仆人结盟. 我若有罪, 不如你自己杀我, 何必将我交给你父亲呢? ”

20:9 Then Jonathan said, “Far be it from you! For if I know for certain that my father decided evil should come upon you, would I not have told it to you?”
约拿单说: “断无此事! 我若知道我父亲决意害你, 我岂不告诉你呢? ”

20:10 Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if what your father answers you is harsh?”
大卫对约拿单说: “你父亲若用厉言回答你, 谁来告诉我呢? ”

20:11 And Jonathan said to David, “Come, let us go out to the field.” So the two of them went out to the field.
约拿单对大卫说: “你我且往田野去. ”二人就往田野去了.

20:12 Then Jonathan said to David, “Yahweh the God of Israel is my witness that I will question my father by this time the day after tomorrow. And look, if he is well disposed toward you, will I not send word to you and disclose it to you?
约拿单对大卫说: “愿耶和华─以色列的神为证. 明日约在这时候, 或第三日, 我探我父亲的意思, 若向你有好意, 我岂不打发人告诉你吗?

20:13 So may Yahweh punish Jonathan and more if my father decides to do you harm and if I fail to disclose it to you and send word to you that you can go safely. And may Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.
我父亲若有意害你, 我不告诉你使你平平安安地走, 愿耶和华重重地降罚与我. 愿耶和华与你同在, 如同从前与我父亲同在一样.

20:14 And not while I am still alive, will you not show the loyal love of Yahweh with me, that I may not die?
你要照耶和华的慈爱恩待我, 不但我活着的时候免我死亡,

20:15 And do not cut off your loyal love from my family forever, not even when Yahweh exterminates each of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
就是我死后, 耶和华从地上剪除你仇敌的时候, 你也永不可向我家绝了恩惠. ”

20:16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May Yahweh call the enemies of David to account.”
于是约拿单与大卫家结盟, 说: “愿耶和华藉大卫的仇敌追讨背约的罪. ”

20:17 And Jonathan again made David swear an oath, because he loved him; for with the love of his soul he loved him.
约拿单因爱大卫如同爱自己的性命, 就使他再起誓.

20:18 Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, for your seat will stay empty.
约拿单对他说: “明日是初一, 你的座位空设, 人必理会你不在那里.

20:19 On the third day you must go down quickly and go to the place where you hid yourself on the day all this started and remain beside the stone Ezel.
你等三日, 就要速速下去, 到你从前遇事所藏的地方, 在以色磐石那里等候.

20:20 I will shoot three arrows to the side as if I were shooting at a target.
我要向磐石旁边射三箭, 如同射箭靶一样.

20:21 Then I will send word to my servant, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I clearly say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring it,’ then come, for it means peace for you. And there is no problem, as Yahweh lives.
我要打发童子, 说: ‘去把箭找来. ’我若对童子说: ‘箭在后头, 把箭拿来’, 你就可以回来; 我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 你必平安无事.

20:22 But if I say this to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ go, for Yahweh has sent you away.
我若对童子说: ‘箭在前头’, 你就要去, 因为是耶和华打发你去的.

20:23 And as for the matter about which you and I spoke, look, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
至于你我今日所说的话, 有耶和华在你我中间为证, 直到永远. ”

20:24 So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon came, the king was seated at the feast.
大卫就去藏在田野. 到了初一日, 王坐席要吃饭.

20:25 The king sat at his seat as before, the seat by the wall, and Jonathan got up, and Abner sat beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.
王照常坐在靠墙的位上, 约拿单侍立, 押尼珥坐在扫罗旁边, 大卫的座位空设.

20:26 But Saul said nothing on that day, for he thought, “Something happened to him. He is not ceremonially clean; surely he is not clean.”
然而这日扫罗没有说甚么, 他想大卫遇事, 偶染不洁, 他必定是不洁.

20:27 And then on the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty. So Saul asked Jonathan his son, “Why did the son of Jesse not come either yesterday or today to the feast?”
初二日大卫的座位还空设. 扫罗问他儿子约拿单说: “耶西的儿子为何昨日,今日没有来吃饭呢? ”

20:28 Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission from me to go up to Bethlehem.
约拿单回答扫罗说: “大卫切求我容他往伯利恒去.

20:29 He said, ‘Send me away, please, for our clan sacrifice is in the city, and my brother commanded me to be present. So then, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me slip away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the table of the king.”
他说: ‘求你容我去, 因为我家在城里有献祭的事; 我长兄吩咐我去. 如今我若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你容我去见我的弟兄’; 所以大卫没有赴王的席. ”

20:30 Then Saul became angry at Jonathan and said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
扫罗向约拿单发怒, 对他说: “你这顽梗背逆之妇人所生的, 我岂不知道你喜悦耶西的儿子, 自取羞辱, 以致你母亲露体蒙羞吗?

20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse is alive on the earth, you and your kingdom will not be established! So then, send and bring him to me, for he will surely die!”
耶西的儿子若在世间活着, 你和你的国位必站立不住. 现在你要打发人去, 将他捉拿交给我; 他是该死的. ”

20:32 But Jonathan answered his father Saul and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”
约拿单对父亲扫罗说: “他为甚么该死呢? 他做了甚么呢? ”

20:33 Then Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. So Jonathan knew that his father had decided to kill David.
扫罗向约拿单抡枪要刺他, 约拿单就知道他父亲决意要杀大卫.

20:34 Jonathan got up from the table enraged, and did not eat on the second day of the new moon because he was upset about David, because his father had disgraced him.
于是约拿单气忿忿地从席上起来, 在这初二日没有吃饭. 他因见父亲羞辱大卫, 就为大卫愁烦.

20:35 And then in the morning Jonathan went out to the field for the appointment with David, and a young boy was with him.
次日早晨, 约拿单按著与大卫约会的时候出到田野, 有一个童子跟随.

20:36 He said to his servant, “Run, please find the arrows that I am shooting!” The boy ran, and he shot the arrow to pass over him.
约拿单对童子说: “你跑去, 把我所射的箭找来. ”童子跑去, 约拿单就把箭射在童子前头.

20:37 When the boy came up to the place of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called out after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow beyond you?”
童子到了约拿单落箭之地, 约拿单呼叫童子说: “箭不是在你前头吗? ”

20:38 Then Jonathan called out after the boy, “Quick, hurry, do not linger!” And Jonathan’s servant collected the arrows and came to his master.
约拿单又呼叫童子说: “速速地去, 不要迟延! ”童子就拾起箭来, 回到主人那里.

20:39 But the boy did not know anything about this; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
童子却不知道这是甚么意思, 只有约拿单和大卫知道.

20:40 Jonathan gave his weapons to his servant and said to him, “Go, bring them to the city.”
约拿单将弓箭交给童子, 吩咐说: “你拿到城里去. ”

20:41 The boy left, and then David got up from the south side, and he fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the most.
童子一去, 大卫就从磐石的南边出来, 俯伏在地, 拜了三拜; 二人亲嘴, 彼此哭泣, 大卫哭得更恸.

20:42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have sworn, the two of us, an oath in the name of Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring forever.” Then he got up and left, and Jonathan went into the city.
约拿单对大卫说: “我们二人曾指著耶和华的名起誓说: ‘愿耶和华在你我中间, 并你我后裔中间为证, 直到永远. ’如今你平平安安地去吧! ”大卫就起身走了; 约拿单也回城里去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 21

21:1 Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came trembling to meet David, and he said to him, “Why are you alone and there are no men with you?”
大卫到了挪伯祭司亚希米勒那里, 亚希米勒战战兢兢地出来迎接他, 问他说: “你为甚么独自来, 没有人跟随呢? ”

21:2 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king charged me with a matter and said to me, ‘No one must know anything about this matter on which I am sending you, with which I have charged you and the servants.’ ” So I have arranged to meet with my servants at a certain place.
大卫回答祭司亚希米勒说: “王吩咐我一件事说: ‘我差遣你委托你的这件事, 不要使人知道. ’故此我已派定少年人在某处等候我.

21:3 Now then, what do you have at hand? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever is here.”
现在你手下有甚么? 求你给我五个饼或是别样的食物. ”

21:4 The priest answered David and said, “There is no ordinary bread here at hand; there is only holy bread, but only if the young men have kept themselves from women.”
祭司对大卫说: “我手下没有寻常的饼, 只有圣饼; 若少年人没有亲近妇人才可以给. ”

21:5 David answered the priest and said to him, “Indeed, women were held back from us as it has been when I’ve gone out before. And the things of the young men are holy when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will the things be holy?”
大卫对祭司说: “实在约有三日我们没有亲近妇人; 我出来的时候, 虽是寻常行路, 少年人的器皿还是洁净的; 何况今日不更是洁净吗? ”

21:6 So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence, which was removed from before Yahweh, in order to set hot bread there on the day when it was taken away.
祭司就拿圣饼给他; 因为在那里没有别样饼, 只有更换新饼, 从耶和华面前撤下来的陈设饼.

21:7 Now there was a man from the servants of Saul on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul’s shepherds.
(当日有扫罗的一个臣子留在耶和华面前. 他名叫多益, 是以东人, 作扫罗的司牧长. )

21:8 David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not at your disposal a spear or a sword? For I took neither my sword nor my weapons with me because the king’s matter was urgent.”
大卫问亚希米勒说: “你手下有枪有刀没有? 因为王的事甚急, 连刀剑器械我都没有带. ”

21:9 So the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine whom you killed in the valley of Elah is here, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want to take it for yourself, then take it, for there is no other except it here.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
祭司说: “你在以拉谷杀非利士人歌利亚的那刀在这里, 裹在布中, 放在以弗得后边, 你要就可以拿去; 除此以外, 再没有别的. ”大卫说: “这刀没有可比的! 求你给我. ”

21:10 So David got up and fled on that day from the presence of Saul, and he came to Achish the king of Gath.
那日大卫起来, 躲避扫罗, 逃到迦特王亚吉那里.

21:11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Is it not for this one that they sang in the dances, saying, ‘Saul killed his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’ ”
亚吉的臣仆对亚吉说: “这不是以色列国王大卫吗? 那里的妇女跳舞唱和, 不是指着他说‘扫罗杀死千千, 大卫杀死万万’吗? ”

21:12 David took these words seriously and felt severely threatened by Achish the king of Gath.
大卫将这话放在心里, 甚惧怕迦特王亚吉,

21:13 So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be mad in their presence. He made scratches on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down into his beard.
就在众人面前改变了寻常的举动, 在他们手下假装疯癫, 在城门的门扇上胡写乱画, 使唾沫流在胡子上.

21:14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see a madman! Why did you bring him to me?
亚吉对臣仆说: “你们看, 这人是疯子. 为甚么带他到我这里来呢?

21:15 Do I lack madmen that you have brought this one to act like a madman before me? Should this one enter my household?”
我岂缺少疯子, 你们带这人来在我面前疯癫吗? 这人岂可进我的家呢? ”

I Samuel - Chapter 22

22:1 David went from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father’s household heard, they came down to him there.
大卫就离开那里, 逃到亚杜兰洞. 他的弟兄和他父亲的全家听见了, 就都下到他那里.

22:2 Every man in distress and every man who had a creditor and every embittered man gathered to him, and he became their commander. Now there were about four hundred men with him.
凡受窘迫的,欠债的,心里苦恼的都聚集到大卫那里; 大卫就作他们的头目, 跟随他的约有四百人.

22:3 And David went up from there to Mizpah of Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”
大卫从那里往摩押的米斯巴去, 对摩押王说: “求你容我父母搬来, 住在你们这里, 等我知道神要为我怎样行. ”

22:4 So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the days David was in the stronghold.
大卫领他父母到摩押王面前. 大卫住山寨多少日子, 他父母也住摩押王那里多少日子.

22:5 Then Gad the prophet said to David, “You should not stay in the stronghold; leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and came to the forest of Hereth.
先知迦得对大卫说: “你不要住在山寨, 要往犹大地去. ”大卫就离开那里, 进入哈列的树林.

22:6 Now Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been located. Saul was sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at Ramah. Now his spear was in his hand and all his servants were stationed around him.
扫罗在基比亚的拉玛, 坐在垂丝柳树下, 手里拿着枪, 众臣仆侍立在左右. 扫罗听见大卫和跟随他的人在何处,

22:7 Then Saul said to the servants who were standing around him, “Please listen, Benjaminites! Will the son of Jesse give you all fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?
就对左右侍立的臣仆说: “便雅悯人哪, 你们要听我的话! 耶西的儿子能将田地和葡萄园赐给你们各人吗? 能立你们各人作千夫长百夫长吗?

22:8 For all of you have conspired against me, and no one discloses to me the making of an agreement between my son and the son of Jesse! None of you have had sympathy for me or disclosed to me that my son commissioned my servant against me to ambush me as has been done this day!”
你们竟都结党害我! 我的儿子与耶西的儿子结盟的时候, 无人告诉我; 我的儿子挑唆我的臣子谋害我, 就如今日的光景, 也无人告诉我, 为我忧虑. ”

22:9 But Doeg the Edomite, who was stationed among the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
那时以东人多益站在扫罗的臣仆中, 对他说: “我曾看见耶西的儿子到了挪伯, 亚希突的儿子亚希米勒那里.

22:10 And he inquired of Yahweh for him and gave him provisions and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
亚希米勒为他求问耶和华, 又给他食物, 并给他杀非利士人歌利亚的刀. ”

22:11 So the king sent to summon Ahimelech the son of Ahitub the priest, and all his father’s household, the priests who were at Nob. So all of them came to the king.
王就打发人将祭司亚希突的儿子亚希米勒和他父亲的全家, 就是住挪伯的祭司都召了来; 他们就来见王.

22:12 Saul said, “Listen please, son of Ahitub.” He said, “Here I am, my lord.”
扫罗说: “亚希突的儿子, 要听我的话! ”他回答说: “主啊, 我在这里. ”

22:13 Then Saul said to him, “Why did you conspire against me, you and the son of Jesse, when you gave to him bread and a sword, and by inquiring of God for him so that he might arise against me to ambush me as has been done this day?”
扫罗对他说: “你为甚么与耶西的儿子结党害我, 将食物和刀给他, 又为他求问神, 使他起来谋害我, 就如今日的光景? ”

22:14 But Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants is as faithful as David? He is the son-in-law of the king who moves quickly to safeguard you and is honored in your house.
亚希米勒回答王说: “王的臣仆中有谁比大卫忠心呢? 他是王的女婿, 又是王的参谋, 并且在王家中是尊贵的.

22:15 Only today I began to inquire of God for him. Far be it from me that the king should impute anything against his servant or against my father’s household, for your servant has not known any of this matter, little or much.”
我岂是从今日才为他求问神呢? 断不是这样! 王不要将罪归我和我父的全家; 因为这事, 无论大小, 仆人都不知道. ”

22:16 Then the king said, “You must certainly die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household!”
王说: “亚希米勒啊, 你和你父的全家都是该死的! ”

22:17 So the king said to the runners who were stationed around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh, because they also support David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to raise their hand to attack the priests of Yahweh.
王就吩咐左右的侍卫说: “你们去杀耶和华的祭司; 因为他们帮助大卫, 又知道大卫逃跑, 竟没有告诉我. ”扫罗的臣子却不肯伸手杀耶和华的祭司.

22:18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and attack the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests himself, and on that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
王吩咐多益说: “你去杀祭司吧! ”以东人多益就去杀祭司, 那日杀了穿细麻布以弗得的八十五人;

22:19 And he put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, from man to woman, from child to infant, and ox and donkey and sheep; all to the sword.
又用刀将祭司城挪伯中的男女,孩童,吃奶的, 和牛,羊,驴尽都杀灭.

22:20 But, one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
亚希突的儿子亚希米勒有一个儿子, 名叫亚比亚他, 逃到大卫那里.

22:21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of Yahweh.
亚比亚他将扫罗杀耶和华祭司的事告诉大卫.

22:22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul. I am responsible for the deaths of all your father’s household!
大卫对亚比亚他说: “那日我见以东人多益在那里, 就知道他必告诉扫罗. 你父的全家丧命, 都是因我的缘故.

22:23 Stay with me! Do not fear, because he who seeks my life seeks your life. You are in good care with me.”
你可以住在我这里, 不要惧怕. 因为寻索你命的就是寻索我的命; 你在我这里可得保全. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 23

23:1 Now they told David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting in Keilah and they are raiding the threshing floors.”
有人告诉大卫说: “非利士人攻击基伊拉, 抢夺禾场. ”

23:2 So David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And Yahweh said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
所以大卫求问耶和华说: “我去攻打那些非利士人可以不可以? ”耶和华对大卫说: “你可以去攻打非利士人, 拯救基伊拉. ”

23:3 But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more if we go to Keilah to the battle lines of the Philistines?”
跟随大卫的人对他说: “我们在犹大地这里尚且惧怕, 何况往基伊拉去攻打非利士人的军旅呢? ”

23:4 So David again inquired of Yahweh, and Yahweh answered him and said, “Get up, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
大卫又求问耶和华. 耶和华回答说: “你起身下基伊拉去, 我必将非利士人交在你手里. ”

23:5 So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines. They drove off their livestock and dealt them a heavy blow. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
大卫和跟随他的人往基伊拉去, 与非利士人打仗, 大大杀败他们, 又夺获他们的牲畜. 这样, 大卫救了基伊拉的居民.

23:6 Now when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, he went down with an ephod in his hand.
亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他逃到基伊拉见大卫的时候, 手里拿着以弗得.

23:7 When it was told to Saul that David had gone to Keilah, Saul said, “God has given him into my hand, because he has shut himself in by going into a city with two barred gates.
有人告诉扫罗说: “大卫到了基伊拉. ”扫罗说: “他进了有门有闩的城, 困闭在里头; 这是神将他交在我手里了. ”

23:8 Saul then summoned all of the army for the battle, to go down to Keilah to lay a siege against David and his men.
于是扫罗招聚众民, 要下去攻打基伊拉城, 围困大卫和跟随他的人.

23:9 When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
大卫知道扫罗设计谋害他, 就对祭司亚比亚他说: “将以弗得拿过来. ”

23:10 And David said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, your servant has clearly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.
大卫祷告说: “耶和华─以色列的神啊, 你仆人听真了扫罗要往基伊拉来, 为我的缘故灭城.

23:11 Will the rulers of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O Yahweh, God of Israel, please tell your servant!” And Yahweh said, “He will come down.”
基伊拉人将我交在扫罗手里不交? 扫罗照着你仆人所听的话下来不下来? 耶和华─以色列的神啊, 求你指示仆人! ”耶和华说: “扫罗必下来. ”

23:12 Then David said, “Will the rulers of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And Yahweh said, “They will deliver you.”
大卫又说: “基伊拉人将我和跟随我的人交在扫罗手里不交? ”耶和华说: “必交出来. ”

23:13 So David and his men got up, about six hundred men, and went out from Keilah and wandered wherever they could go. When it was told to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he stopped his pursuit.
大卫和跟随他的约有六百人, 就起身出了基伊拉, 往他们所能往的地方去. 有人告诉扫罗, 大卫离开基伊拉逃走; 于是扫罗不出来了.

23:14 David remained in the wilderness, in the strongholds, and in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him continually, but God did not give him into his hand.
大卫住在旷野的山寨里, 常在西弗旷野的山地. 扫罗天天寻索大卫, 神却不将大卫交在他手里.

23:15 When David realized that Saul had gone out to seek his life, David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
大卫知道扫罗出来寻索他的命. 那时, 他住在西弗旷野的树林里;

23:16 So Jonathan the son of Saul got up and went to David at Horesh, and encouraged him through God.
扫罗的儿子约拿单起身, 往那树林里去见大卫, 使他倚靠神得以坚固,

23:17 He said to him, “Do not be afraid, for the hand of my father Saul will not find you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. My father Saul knows this also.”
对他说: “不要惧怕! 我父扫罗的手必不加害于你; 你必作以色列的王, 我也作你的宰相. 这事我父扫罗知道了. ”

23:18 Then the two of them made a covenant before Yahweh. David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went to his house.
于是二人在耶和华面前立约. 大卫仍住在树林里, 约拿单回家去了.

23:19 Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, which is south of Jeshimon?
西弗人上到基比亚见扫罗, 说: “大卫不是在我们那里的树林里山寨中,旷野南边的哈基拉山藏着吗?

23:20 So then, O king, whenever you want to come down, come down, and it will be for us to deliver him into the hand of the king.”
王啊, 请你随你的心愿下来, 我们必亲自将他交在王的手里. ”

23:21 And Saul said to them, “May you be blessed by Yahweh, for you have shown me compassion!
扫罗说: “愿耶和华赐福与你们, 因你们顾恤我.

23:22 Go, please, make certain again! Find out and see exactly where he is and who has seen him there! For they have said to me, ‘He is very cunning.’
请你们回去, 再确实查明他的住处和行踪, 是谁看见他在那里, 因为我听见人说他甚狡猾.

23:23 Look, find out all of the hiding places where he hides. Then return to me with dependable information, and I will go with you. And then if he is there in the land, then I will seek him among all the thousands of Judah.”
所以要看准他藏匿的地方, 回来据实地告诉我, 我就与你们同去. 他若在犹大的境内, 我必从千门万户中搜出他来. ”

23:24 Then they got up and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon in the Arabah, to the south of Jeshimon.
西弗人就起身, 在扫罗以先往西弗去. 大卫和跟随他的人却在玛云旷野南边的亚拉巴.

23:25 And Saul and his men went to seek him, and they told David, so he went down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard this, he pursued David into the wilderness of Maon.
扫罗和跟随他的人去寻找大卫; 有人告诉大卫, 他就下到磐石, 住在玛云的旷野. 扫罗听见, 便在玛云的旷野追赶大卫.

23:26 Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
扫罗在山这边走, 大卫和跟随他的人在山那边走. 大卫急忙躲避扫罗; 因为扫罗和跟随他的人, 四面围住大卫和跟随他的人, 要拿获他们.

23:27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
忽有使者来报告扫罗说: “非利士人犯境抢掠, 请王快快回去! ”

23:28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and he went to confront the Philistines. Therefore, they called that place the Rock of Division.
于是扫罗不追赶大卫, 回去攻打非利士人. 因此那地方名叫西拉‧哈玛希罗结.

23:29 David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En Gedi.
大卫从那里上去, 住在隐‧基底的山寨里.

I Samuel - Chapter 24

24:1 When Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, they told him, “Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”
扫罗追赶非利士人回来, 有人告诉他说: “大卫在隐‧基底的旷野. ”

24:2 So Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and he and his men went to search for David in the direction of the Rocks of the Mountain Goats.
扫罗就从以色列人中挑选三千精兵, 率领他们往野羊的磐石去, 寻索大卫和跟随他的人.

24:3 He came to the sheep pens beside the road, and a cave was there. Then Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost part of the cave.
到了路旁的羊圈, 在那里有洞, 扫罗进去大解. 大卫和跟随他的人正藏在洞里的深处.

24:4 And David’s men said to him, “Look, today is the day about which Yahweh said to you, ‘See, I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you can do to him whatever seems good to you.’ ” So David got up and secretly cut the hem of Saul’s robe.
跟随的人对大卫说: “耶和华曾应许你说: ‘我要将你的仇敌交在你手里, 你可以任意待他. ’如今时候到了! ”大卫就起来, 悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣襟.

24:5 And then afterward David felt guilty, because he had cut the hem of Saul’s robe.
随后大卫心中自责, 因为割下扫罗的衣襟;

24:6 He said to his men, “Far be it from me in Yahweh, that I do this thing to my lord, to Yahweh’s anointed one, by stretching out my hand against him! For he is the anointed one of Yahweh.”
对跟随他的人说: “我的主乃是耶和华的受膏者, 我在耶和华面前万不敢伸手害他, 因他是耶和华的受膏者. ”

24:7 So David rebuked his men with the words and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave, and he went on his way.
大卫用这话拦住跟随他的人, 不容他们起来害扫罗. 扫罗起来, 从洞里出去行路.

24:8 Then David got up afterward and went out of the cave and called after Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked after him, David knelt down with his face to the ground and bowed down.
随后大卫也起来, 从洞里出去, 呼叫扫罗说: “我主, 我王! ”扫罗回头观看, 大卫就屈身,脸伏于地下拜.

24:9 Then David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of people who say: ‘Look, David is seeking to do you harm’?
大卫对扫罗说: “你为何听信人的谗言, 说大卫想要害你呢?

24:10 Look, this day your eyes have seen that Yahweh gave you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you. But I took pity on you and said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, because he is Yahweh’s anointed one.’
今日你亲眼看见在洞中, 耶和华将你交在我手里; 有人叫我杀你, 我却爱惜你, 说: ‘我不敢伸手害我的主, 因为他是耶和华的受膏者. ’

24:11 Now, my father, see, yes, see, the hem of your robe in my hand! For when I cut the hem of your robe I did not kill you. Know and realize that there is no evil or rebellion in my hand. I did not sin against you, but you are hunting down my life to take it.
我父啊, 看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中. 我割下你的衣襟, 没有杀你; 你由此可以知道我没有恶意叛逆你. 你虽然猎取我的命, 我却没有得罪你.

24:12 May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me on you, but my hand will not be against you!
愿耶和华在你我中间判断是非, 在你身上为我伸冤, 我却不亲手加害于你.

24:13 Just as the ancient proverb says, ‘From the wicked, wickedness goes out,’ but my hand will not be against you!
古人有句俗语说: ‘恶事出于恶人. ’我却不亲手加害于你.

24:14 After whom did the king of Israel go out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog? After one flea?
以色列王出来要寻找谁呢? 追赶谁呢? 不过追赶一条死狗, 一个虼蚤就是了.

24:15 May Yahweh be the judge, and let him judge between me and you, and may he see and plead my case. May he vindicate me against you!”
愿耶和华在你我中间施行审判, 断定是非, 并且鉴察, 为我伸冤, 救我脱离你的手. ”

24:16 When David finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
大卫向扫罗说完这话, 扫罗说: “我儿大卫, 这是你的声音吗? ”就放声大哭,

24:17 Then he said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me the good, but I have repaid you the evil.
对大卫说: “你比我公义; 因为你以善待我, 我却以恶待你.

24:18 You have explained to me today that you have dealt well with me, how Yahweh delivered me into your hand but you did not kill me.
你今日显明是以善待我; 因为耶和华将我交在你手里, 你却没有杀我.

24:19 For a man has found his enemy but sent him on his way safely. Now may Yahweh reward you with good in return for this day, for what you have done for me.
人若遇见仇敌, 岂肯放他平安无事地去呢? 愿耶和华因你今日向我所行的, 以善报你.

24:20 So now then, look, I know that you will certainly be king and the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
我也知道你必要作王, 以色列的国必坚立在你手里.

24:21 So then, swear to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my descendants after me and that you will not wipe out my name from my father’s house.”
现在你要指著耶和华向我起誓, 不剪除我的后裔, 在我父家不灭没我的名. ”

24:22 So David swore this on oath to Saul, and Saul went to his house, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
于是大卫向扫罗起誓, 扫罗就回家去; 大卫和跟随他的人上山寨去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 25

25:1 Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him. They buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David got up and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
撒母耳死了, 以色列众人聚集, 为他哀哭, 将他葬在拉玛─他自己的坟墓(原文是房屋)里. 大卫起身, 下到巴兰的旷野.

25:2 Now there was a man in Maon, whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich and owned three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. Now the shearing of his sheep was taking place in Carmel.
在玛云有一个人, 他的产业在迦密, 是一个大富户, 有三千绵羊, 一千山羊; 他正在迦密剪羊毛.

25:3 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail. Now the woman was wise and beautiful, but the man was stubborn and mean, and he was as his heart.
那人名叫拿八, 是迦勒族的人; 他的妻名叫亚比该, 是聪明俊美的妇人. 拿八为人刚愎凶恶.

25:4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
大卫在旷野听见说拿八剪羊毛,

25:5 So David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal; you will greet him in my name.
大卫就打发十个仆人, 吩咐他们说: “你们上迦密去见拿八, 提我的名问他安.

25:6 Then you must say to him, ‘Long life to you, and may it go well with you, with your house, and with all that is yours.
要对那富户如此说: ‘愿你平安, 愿你家平安, 愿你一切所有的都平安.

25:7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Now while your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat them, and nothing of theirs was missing, all the days they were in Carmel.
现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛, 你的牧人在迦密的时候和我们在一处, 我们没有欺负他们, 他们也未曾失落甚么.

25:8 Ask your servants and they will tell you! Let the young men find favor in your eyes because we have come on a feast day. Please give whatever you have on hand for your servants and for your son David.”
可以问你的仆人, 他们必告诉你. 所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩, 因为是在好日子来的. 求你随手取点赐与仆人和你儿子大卫. ’”

25:9 So David’s young men came and they spoke all these words to Nabal in the name of David. Then they waited.
大卫的仆人到了, 将这话提大卫的名都告诉了拿八, 就住了口.

25:10 But Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, there are many servants breaking away from the presence of their masters.
拿八回答大卫的仆人说: “大卫是谁? 耶西的儿子是谁? 近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多,

25:11 Should I take my bread and my water and my meat which I have slaughtered for my shearers and give it to men whom I do not know where they are from?
我岂可将饮食和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉给我不知道从哪里来的人呢? ”

25:12 So David’s young men turned on their way and returned and came and told him according to all these words.
大卫的仆人就转身从原路回去, 照这话告诉大卫.

25:13 Then David said to his men, “Each man strap on his sword!” So each one strapped on his sword, and David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage.
大卫向跟随他的人说: “你们各人都要带上刀! ”众人就都带上刀, 大卫也带上刀. 跟随大卫上去的约有四百人, 留下二百人看守器具.

25:14 But a young man of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the desert to greet our master, but he addressed them angrily,
有拿八的一个仆人告诉拿八的妻亚比该说: “大卫从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安, 主人却辱骂他们.

25:15 even though the men were very good to us; we were not mistreated and did not miss anything all the days we went about with them while we were in the field.
但是那些人待我们甚好; 我们在田野与他们来往的时候, 没有受他们的欺负, 也未曾失落甚么.

25:16 They were a wall to us both night and day, all the days we were with them keeping the sheep.
我们在他们那里牧羊的时候, 他们昼夜作我们的保障.

25:17 And so then, know and consider what you should do, for evil has been decided against our master and against all his household, and he is such a wicked man, nobody can reason with him!”
所以你当筹划, 看怎样行才好; 不然, 祸患定要临到我主人和他全家. 他性情凶暴, 无人敢与他说话. ”

25:18 Then Abigail quickly took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five prepared sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and she put them on the donkeys.
亚比该急忙将二百饼, 两皮袋酒, 五只收拾好了的羊, 五细亚烘好了的穗子, 一百葡萄饼, 二百无花果饼, 都驮在驴上,

25:19 Then she said to her servants, “Go ahead before me; look, I am coming after you,” but she did not tell her husband Nabal.
对仆人说: “你们前头走, 我随着你们去. ”这事她却没有告诉丈夫拿八.

25:20 And then, as she was riding on the donkey and was going down the ravine of the mountain, David and his men were coming down to meet her, and she met them.
亚比该骑着驴, 正下山坡, 见大卫和跟随他的人从对面下来, 亚比该就迎接他们.

25:21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I guarded all that this fellow had in the desert. And nothing was missed of all that was his, but he returned evil against me in place of good!
大卫曾说: “我在旷野为那人看守所有的, 以致他一样不失落, 实在是徒然了! 他向我以恶报善.

25:22 May God severely punish the enemies of David and again do thus if I leave behind anything that is his until the morning, not even one male!”
凡属拿八的男丁, 我若留一个到明日早晨, 愿神重重降罚与我! ”

25:23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from the donkey and fell on her face before David’s anger, and she bowed down to the ground.
亚比该见大卫, 便急忙下驴, 在大卫面前脸伏于地叩拜,

25:24 She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, be the guilt! Please let your female servant speak to you personally! Hear the words of your female servant!
俯伏在大卫的脚前, 说: “我主啊, 愿这罪归我! 求你容婢女向你进言, 更求你听婢女的话.

25:25 Please do not let my lord set his heart against this worthless man, Nabal; for as his name, so is he. Nabal is his name, and stupidity is with him! But I, your female servant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.
我主不要理这坏人拿八, 他的性情与他的名相称; 他名叫拿八(就是愚顽的意思), 他为人果然愚顽. 但我主所打发的仆人, 婢女并没有看见.

25:26 So then, my lord, as Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, since Yahweh restrained you from bloodguilt by taking matters into your own hand, so then, may your enemies be like Nabal, even those who seek to do my lord harm.
我主啊, 耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇, 取流血的罪, 所以我指著永生的耶和华,又敢在你面前起誓说: ‘愿你的仇敌和谋害你的人都像拿八一样. ’

25:27 So then, this gift which your female servant has brought to my lord, may it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
如今求你将婢女送来的礼物给跟随你的仆人.

25:28 Please forgive the transgression of your female servant, because Yahweh will certainly make a lasting house for my lord, because my lord is fighting the battles of Yahweh, and evil will not be found in you as long as you live.
求你饶恕婢女的罪过. 耶和华必为我主建立坚固的家, 因我主为耶和华争战; 并且在你平生的日子查不出有甚么过来.

25:29 Should a man arise to pursue you and to seek your life, may the life of my lord be wrapped in the pouch of the living with Yahweh your God. But as for the life of your enemy, he will sling it from within the pocket of the sling!
虽有人起来追逼你, 寻索你的性命, 你的性命却在耶和华─你的神那里蒙保护, 如包裹宝器一样; 你仇敌的性命, 耶和华必抛去, 如用机弦甩石一样.

25:30 And then when Yahweh has done for my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you as leader over Israel,
我主现在若不亲手报仇流无辜人的血, 到了耶和华照所应许你的话赐福与你, 立你作以色列的王, 那时我主必不致心里不安, 觉得良心有亏. 耶和华赐福与我主的时候, 求你记念婢女. ”

25:31 then this will not be an obstacle for you or a stumbling block of conscience for my lord either by the shedding of blood without cause or by my lord taking matters into his own hands. And when Yahweh does good to my lord, then remember your female servant.”
a

25:32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be Yahweh the God of Israel who has sent you this day to meet me!
大卫对亚比该说: “耶和华─以色列的神是应当称颂的, 因为他今日使你来迎接我.

25:33 And blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you who have prevented me this day from bloodguilt and from delivering myself by my own hand.
你和你的见识也当称赞; 因为你今日拦阻我亲手报仇,流人的血.

25:34 But as Yahweh lives, the God of Israel who has prevented me from harming you, if you had not hurried and come to meet me, surely there would not have been one male left alive for Nabal by the light of morning!”
我指著阻止我加害于你的耶和华─以色列永生的神起誓, 你若不速速地来迎接我, 到明日早晨, 凡属拿八的男丁必定不留一个. ”

25:35 Then David took from her hand what she had brought for him, and he said to her, “Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to your voice, and I have granted your request.”
大卫受了亚比该送来的礼物, 就对她说: “我听了你的话, 准了你的情面, 你可以平平安安地回家吧! ”

25:36 Then Abigail went to Nabal, and look, he was holding a feast in his house like the feast of the king. Nabal was enjoying himself, and he was very drunk, so she did not tell him a thing, nothing at all, until the light of morning.
亚比该到拿八那里, 见他在家里设摆筵席, 如同王的筵席; 拿八快乐大醉. 亚比该无论大小事都没有告诉他, 就等到次日早晨.

25:37 And then in the morning when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these words. Then his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
到了早晨, 拿八醒了酒, 他的妻将这些事都告诉他, 他就魂不附体, 身僵如石头一般.

25:38 And then, about ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal and he died.
过了十天, 耶和华击打拿八, 他就死了.

25:39 When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, “Blessed be Yahweh who has vindicated the case of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and he has kept back his servant from evil; but Yahweh has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke with Abigail to take her for his wife.
大卫听见拿八死了, 就说: “应当称颂耶和华, 因他伸了拿八羞辱我的冤, 又阻止仆人行恶; 也使拿八的恶归到拿八的头上. ”于是大卫打发人去, 与亚比该说, 要娶她为妻.

25:40 So the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you for his wife.”
大卫的仆人到了迦密见亚比该, 对她说: “大卫打发我们来见你, 想要娶你为妻. ”

25:41 She got up and bowed down with her face to the ground and said, “Here is your female servant, as a slave to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
亚比该就起来, 俯伏在地, 说: “我情愿作婢女, 洗我主仆人的脚. ”

25:42 Then Abigail quickly got up and rode on the donkey, along with five of her maidservants who attended her, and she went after the messengers of David and became his wife.
亚比该立刻起身, 骑上驴, 带着五个使女, 跟从大卫的使者去了, 就作了大卫的妻.

25:43 David had also taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and both of them became his wives.
大卫先娶了耶斯列人亚希暖, 她们二人都作了他的妻.

25:44 (Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.)
扫罗已将他的女儿米甲, 就是大卫的妻, 给了迦琳人拉亿的儿子帕提为妻.

I Samuel - Chapter 26

26:1 The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah opposite Jeshimon?”
西弗人到基比亚见扫罗, 说: “大卫不是在旷野前的哈基拉山藏着吗? ”

26:2 Then Saul got up and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
扫罗就起身, 带领以色列人中挑选的三千精兵下到西弗的旷野, 要在那里寻索大卫.

26:3 Now Saul was on the hill of Hakilah, which is opposite Jeshimon by the road, but David was staying in the wilderness. When he realized that Saul had come to the wilderness after him,
扫罗在旷野前的哈基拉山, 在道路上安营. 大卫住在旷野, 听说扫罗到旷野来追寻他,

26:4 David sent spies, and he learned that Saul had come for certain.
就打发人去探听, 便知道扫罗果然来到.

26:5 Then David got up and came to the place where Saul had encamped, and David saw the place where Saul was lying down, as well as Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. (Now Saul was lying in the encampment, and the army was encamping around him.)
大卫起来, 到扫罗安营的地方, 看见扫罗和他的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥睡卧之处; 扫罗睡在辎重营里, 百姓安营在他周围.

26:6 David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah the brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul, in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
大卫对赫人亚希米勒和洗鲁雅的儿子约押的兄弟亚比筛说: “谁同我下到扫罗营里去? ”亚比筛说: “我同你下去. ”

26:7 So David and Abishai came to the army by night, and there was Saul lying asleep in the encampment with his spear thrust into the ground near his head, and Abner and the army were lying all around him.
于是大卫和亚比筛夜间到了百姓那里, 见扫罗睡在辎重营里; 他的枪在头旁, 插在地上. 押尼珥和百姓睡在他周围.

26:8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has handed over your enemy into your hand today! So then, please let me pin him to the ground with the spear one time, and I will not strike him twice.”
亚比筛对大卫说: “现在神将你的仇敌交在你手里, 求你容我拿枪将他刺透在地, 一刺就成, 不用再刺. ”

26:9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him! For who has stretched out his hand against Yahweh’s anointed one and remained blameless?”
大卫对亚比筛说: “不可害死他. 有谁伸手害耶和华的受膏者而无罪呢? ”

26:10 And David said, “As Yahweh lives, certainly Yahweh will strike him, or his day will come and he will die, or he will go down in the battle and perish.
大卫又说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 他或被耶和华击打, 或是死期到了, 或是出战阵亡;

26:11 Yahweh forbid me from stretching out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed one! So then, please take the spear that is near his head and the jar of water, and let us go.”
我在耶和华面前, 万不敢伸手害耶和华的受膏者. 现在你可以将他头旁的枪和水瓶拿来, 我们就走. ”

26:12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from near Saul’s head, and they went away. No one saw, no one knew, and no one awakened, for all of them were sleeping because a deep sleep of Yahweh had fallen upon them.
大卫从扫罗的头旁拿了枪和水瓶, 二人就走了, 没有人看见, 没有人知道, 也没有人醒起, 都睡着了, 因为耶和华使他们沉沉地睡了.

26:13 Then David went to the other side and stood on the top of the hill at a distance; the distance was great between them.
大卫过到那边去, 远远地站在山顶上, 与他们相离甚远.

26:14 David called out to the army and to Abner the son of Ner, “Will you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answered and said, “Who are you that you call to the king?”
大卫呼叫百姓和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说: “押尼珥啊, 你为何不答应呢? ”押尼珥说: “你是谁? 竟敢呼叫王呢? ”

26:15 So David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why did you not keep watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy your lord the king.
大卫对押尼珥说: “你不是个勇士吗? 以色列中谁能比你呢? 民中有人进来要害死王─你的主, 你为何没有保护王─你的主呢?

26:16 This thing that you have done is not good. As Yahweh lives, surely you people deserve to die since you have not kept watch over your lord, over Yahweh’s anointed one! So then, see where the king’s spear is and the jar of water that was near his head!”
你这样是不好的! 我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 你们都是该死的; 因为没有保护你们的主, 就是耶和华的受膏者. 现在你看看王头旁的枪和水瓶在哪里. ”

26:17 Then Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”
扫罗听出是大卫的声音, 就说: “我儿大卫, 这是你的声音吗? ”大卫说: “主─我的王啊, 是我的声音”;

26:18 Then he said, “Why is my lord pursuing after his servant? For what have I done? And what evil is in my hand?
又说: “我做了甚么? 我手里有甚么恶事? 我主竟追赶仆人呢?

26:19 And so then, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant: If Yahweh has incited you against me, may he delight in an offering; but if it is mortals, may they be accursed before Yahweh, for they have driven me away today from sharing in the inheritance of Yahweh, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’
求我主我王听仆人的话: 若是耶和华激发你攻击我, 愿耶和华收纳祭物; 若是人激发你, 愿他在耶和华面前受咒诅; 因为他现今赶逐我, 不容我在耶和华的产业上有分, 说: ‘你去事奉别神吧! ’

26:20 And so then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of Yahweh, for the king of Israel has gone out to seek a single flea, as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
现在求王不要使我的血流在离耶和华远的地方. 以色列王出来是寻找一个虼蚤, 如同人在山上猎取一个鹧鸪一般. ”

26:21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned! Come back, David my son, for I will not harm you again, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have acted like a fool and have made a terrible mistake.”
扫罗说: “我有罪了! 我儿大卫, 你可以回来, 因你今日看我的性命为宝贵; 我必不再加害于你. 我是糊涂人, 大大错了. ”

26:22 David answered and said, “Here is the king’s spear; let one of the young men come over and take it.
大卫说: “王的枪在这里, 可以吩咐一个仆人过来拿去.

26:23 Yahweh repays to each one his righteousness and his faithfulness, for Yahweh gave you into my hand today, but I was not willing to stretch out my hand against Yahweh’s anointed.
今日耶和华将王交在我手里, 我却不肯伸手害耶和华的受膏者. 耶和华必照各人的公义诚实报应他.

26:24 Look, as your life was precious in my eyes this day, may my life be great in the eyes of Yahweh, and may he rescue me from all trouble.”
我今日重看你的性命, 愿耶和华也重看我的性命, 并且拯救我脱离一切患难. ”

26:25 Then Saul said to David, “Blessed are you, my son David; you will not only do many things, but also will always succeed!” Then David went on his way and Saul returned to his place.
扫罗对大卫说: “我儿大卫, 愿你得福! 你必做大事, 也必得胜. ”于是大卫起行, 扫罗回他的本处去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 27

27:1 Then David thought to himself, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me but that I must certainly escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will desist from searching for me further in all of the territories of Israel, and so I will escape from his hand.”
大卫心里说: “必有一日我死在扫罗手里, 不如逃奔非利士地去. 扫罗见我不在以色列的境内, 就必绝望, 不再寻索我; 这样我可以脱离他的手. ”

27:2 So David got up and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
于是大卫起身, 和跟随他的六百人投奔迦特王─玛俄的儿子亚吉去了.

27:3 David settled with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each with his household. David took along his two wives Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
大卫和他的两个妻, 就是耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该, 并跟随他的人, 连各人的眷属, 都住在迦特的亚吉那里.

27:4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
有人告诉扫罗说: “大卫逃到迦特. ”扫罗就不再寻索他了.

27:5 Then David said to Achish, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, then let them give me a place in one of the country towns that I can live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
大卫对亚吉说: “我若在你眼前蒙恩, 求你在京外的城邑中赐我一个地方居住. 仆人何必与王同住京都呢? ”

27:6 So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (Therefore, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this day.)
当日亚吉将洗革拉赐给他, 因此洗革拉属犹大王, 直到今日.

27:7 The number of days that David lived in the countryside of the Philistines was one year and four months.
大卫在非利士地住了一年零四个月.

27:8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites, for they had been living in the land for a long time in the direction of Shur and as far as the land of Egypt.
大卫和跟随他的人上去, 侵夺基述人,基色人,亚玛力人之地. 这几族历来住在那地, 从书珥直到埃及.

27:9 So David struck the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive; he took the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.
大卫击杀那地的人, 无论男女都没有留下一个, 又夺获牛,羊,骆驼,驴, 并衣服, 回来见亚吉.

27:10 And Achish said, “Against whom have you raided today?” David said, “Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites.”
亚吉说: “你们今日侵夺了甚么地方呢? ”大卫说: “侵夺了犹大的南方,耶拉篾的南方,基尼的南方. ”

27:11 And David did not leave alive a man or a woman to bring them back to Gath, thinking, “So that they will not report about us, saying, ‘David did thus and so.’ ” Thus was his practice all the days that he lived in the countryside of the Philistines.
无论男女, 大卫没有留下一个带到迦特来. 他说: “恐怕他们将我们的事告诉人, 说大卫住在非利士地的时候常常这样行. ”

27:12 And Achish trusted David, saying, “He has made himself utterly hated among his people in Israel, and he will be my servant forever.”
亚吉信了大卫, 心里说: “大卫使本族以色列人憎恶他, 所以他必永远作我的仆人了. ”

I Samuel - Chapter 28

28:1 Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war to fight against Israel. So Achish said to David, “Certainly you realize that you must go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
那时, 非利士人聚集军旅, 要与以色列人打仗. 亚吉对大卫说: “你当知道, 你和跟随你的人都要随我出战. ”

28:2 David said to Achish, “Very well, you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
大卫对亚吉说: “仆人所能做的事, 王必知道. ”亚吉对大卫说: “这样, 我立你永远作我的护卫长. ”

28:3 (Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him, and they had buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had expelled the mediums and the soothsayers from the land.)
那时撒母耳已经死了, 以色列众人为他哀哭, 葬他在拉玛, 就是在他本城里. 扫罗曾在国内不容有交鬼的和行巫术的人.

28:4 Then the Philistines assembled and came and encamped at Shunem, so Saul assembled all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa.
非利士人聚集, 来到书念安营; 扫罗聚集以色列众人在基利波安营.

28:5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly.
扫罗看见非利士的军旅就惧怕, 心中发颤.

28:6 And Saul inquired of Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him, not by dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.
扫罗求问耶和华, 耶和华却不藉梦, 或乌陵, 或先知回答他.

28:7 So Saul said to his servants, “Search for me a woman who is a medium so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Look there is a woman who is a medium in Endor.”
扫罗吩咐臣仆说: “当为我找一个交鬼的妇人, 我好去问她. ”臣仆说: “在隐‧多珥有一个交鬼的妇人. ”

28:8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went with two of his men. And they came to the woman by night and he said, “Please consult a spirit for me through the ritual pit, and bring up for me the one whom I tell you.”
于是扫罗改了装, 穿上别的衣服, 带着两个人, 夜里去见那妇人. 扫罗说: “求你用交鬼的法术, 将我所告诉你的死人, 为我招上来. ”

28:9 But the woman said to him, “Look, you know what Saul did, how he exterminated the mediums and the soothsayers from the land! Why are you setting a trap for my life to kill me?”
妇人对他说: “你知道扫罗从国中剪除交鬼的和行巫术的. 你为何陷害我的性命, 使我死呢? ”

28:10 Then Saul swore to her by Yahweh, “As Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for this thing.”
扫罗向妇人指著耶和华起誓说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 你必不因这事受刑. ”

28:11 So the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” He said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”
妇人说: “我为你招谁上来呢? ”回答说: “为我招撒母耳上来. ”

28:12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and the woman said to Saul, “Why did you deceive me? You are Saul!”
妇人看见撒母耳, 就大声呼叫, 对扫罗说: “你是扫罗, 为甚么欺哄我呢? ”

28:13 The king said to her, “Do not be afraid! What do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up from the ground!”
王对妇人说: “不要惧怕, 你看见了甚么呢? ”妇人对扫罗说: “我看见有神从地里上来. ”

28:14 Then he said to her, “What is his appearance?” She said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe.” Then Saul realized that it was Samuel, and he knelt with his face to the ground and bowed down.
扫罗说: “他是怎样的形状? ”妇人说: “有一个老人上来, 身穿长衣. ”扫罗知道是撒母耳, 就屈身, 脸伏于地下拜.

28:15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul said, “I am in distress! For the Philistines are about to make war against me, but God has turned away from me, and he does not answer me any more, not by the prophets or by the dreams. So I called to you to let me know what I should do.”
撒母耳对扫罗说: “你为甚么搅扰我, 招我上来呢? ”扫罗回答说: “我甚窘急; 因为非利士人攻击我, 神也离开我, 不再藉先知或梦回答我. 因此请你上来, 好指示我应当怎样行. ”

28:16 Then Samuel said, “Why do you ask me, since Yahweh has turned away from you and has become your enemy?
撒母耳说: “耶和华已经离开你, 且与你为敌, 你何必问我呢?

28:17 Yahweh has done to you just as he spoke by my hand! Yahweh has torn the kingdom from your hand and has given it to your neighbor, to David.
耶和华照他藉我说的话, 已经从你手里夺去国权, 赐与别人, 就是大卫.

28:18 Because you did not obey Yahweh and did not carry out the fierce anger of his wrath against Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you today.
因你没有听从耶和华的命令; 他恼怒亚玛力人, 你没有灭绝他们, 所以今日耶和华向你这样行,

28:19 And Yahweh will also give Israel with you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me, and Yahweh will also give the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
并且耶和华必将你和以色列人交在非利士人的手里. 明日你和你众子必与我在一处了; 耶和华必将以色列的军兵交在非利士人手里. ”

28:20 Then Saul immediately fell prostrate to the ground, and he was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; there was no more strength in him, for he had not eaten food all day and all night.
扫罗猛然仆倒, 挺身在地, 因撒母耳的话甚是惧怕; 那一昼一夜, 没有吃甚么, 就毫无气力.

28:21 Then the woman came to Saul and realized that he was absolutely terrified, so she said to him, “Look, your female servant has obeyed you, and I have risked my life. I have listened to your words that you have spoken to me.
妇人到扫罗面前, 见他极其惊恐, 对他说: “婢女听从你的话, 不顾惜自己的性命, 遵从你所吩咐的.

28:22 So then, you also please listen to the voice of your female servant, and let me set before you a morsel of bread, and you eat so that you will have strength in you when you go on your way.”
现在求你听婢女的话, 容我在你面前摆上一点食物, 你吃了, 可以有气力行路. ”

28:23 But he refused and said, “I will not eat!” However, his servants urged him, and the woman also. So he listened to what they said, and he got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
扫罗不肯, 说: “我不吃. ”但他的仆人和妇人再三劝他, 他才听了他们的话, 从地上起来, 坐在床上.

28:24 Now the woman had a fattened bull calf in the house, so she quickly slaughtered it and took flour, kneaded dough, and baked him some unleavened bread.
妇人急忙将家里的一只肥牛犊宰了, 又拿面抟成无酵饼烤了,

28:25 She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they got up and went away that very night.
摆在扫罗和他仆人面前. 他们吃完, 当夜就起身走了.

I Samuel - Chapter 29

29:1 Now the Philistines assembled all their forces at Aphek, and Israel was encamped at the spring that is in Jezreel.
非利士人将他们的军旅聚到亚弗; 以色列人在耶斯列的泉旁安营.

29:2 The rulers of the Philistines were passing on according to hundreds and thousands, David and his men passing on at the rear with Achish.
非利士人的首领各率军队, 或百或千, 挨次前进; 大卫和跟随他的人同著亚吉跟在后边.

29:3 Then the commanders of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, “Is this not David, the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, who has been with me for days and years? I have not found anything threatening in him from the day of his desertion until this day!”
非利士人的首领说: “这些希伯来人在这里做甚么呢? ”亚吉对他们说: “这不是以色列王扫罗的臣子大卫吗? 他在我这里有些年日了. 自从他投降我直到今日, 我未曾见他有过错. ”

29:4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him and they said to him, “Send the man back so that he might return to his place where you have assigned him! But he will not go down with us into the battle, so that he does not become an adversary to us in the battle. By what could this fellow make himself favorable to his lord? Is it not with the heads of these men?
非利士人的首领向亚吉发怒, 对他说: “你要叫这人回你所安置他的地方, 不可叫他同我们出战, 恐怕他在阵上反为我们的敌人. 他用甚么与他主人复和呢? 岂不是用我们这些人的首级吗?

29:5 Is this not David about whom they sing in the dances, saying, ‘Saul has killed his thousands, but David his ten thousands’?”
从前以色列的妇女跳舞唱和说: ‘扫罗杀死千千, 大卫杀死万万’, 所说的不是这个大卫吗? ”

29:6 So Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, certainly you were honest, and I am pleased to have you marching with me in the campaign. For I have not found any wrong in you from the day you came to me until this day, but in the eyes of the rulers, you are not good.
亚吉叫大卫来, 对他说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 你是正直人. 你随我在军中出入, 我看你甚好. 自从你投奔我到如今, 我未曾见你有甚么过失; 只是众首领不喜悦你.

29:7 So then, return and go in peace, so that you do not do something that displeases the rulers of the Philistines.”
现在你可以平平安安地回去, 免得非利士人的首领不欢喜你. ”

29:8 Then David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day that I entered your service until this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
大卫对亚吉说: “我做了甚么呢? 自从仆人到你面前, 直到今日, 你查出我有甚么过错, 使我不去攻击主─我王的仇敌呢? ”

29:9 And Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are good in my eyes, like an angel of God! However, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go up with us into the battle.’
亚吉说: “我知道你在我眼前是好人, 如同神的使者一般; 只是非利士人的首领说: ‘这人不可同我们出战. ’

29:10 So then, rise early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. When you rise early in the morning and it is light enough for you, leave.
故此你和跟随你的人, 就是你本主的仆人, 要明日早晨起来, 等到天亮回去吧! ”

29:11 So David set out early, he and his men, to leave in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines, but the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
于是大卫和跟随他的人早晨起来, 回往非利士地去. 非利士人也上耶斯列去了.

I Samuel - Chapter 30

30:1 Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. When they attacked Ziklag, they burned it with fire.
第三日, 大卫和跟随他的人到了洗革拉. 亚玛力人已经侵夺南地, 攻破洗革拉, 用火焚烧,

30:2 They took captive the women who were in it, from the youngest to the oldest. They did not kill anyone, but carried them off and went on their way.
掳了城内的妇女和其中的大小人口, 却没有杀一个, 都带着走了.

30:3 When David and his men came to the city, they saw, and it was burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.
大卫和跟随他的人到了那城, 不料, 城已烧毁, 他们的妻子儿女都被掳去了.

30:4 Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until there was not enough strength in them to weep.
大卫和跟随他的人就放声大哭, 直哭得没有气力.

30:5 Two of David’s wives had been taken captive. Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
大卫的两个妻─耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该, 也被掳去了.

30:6 And David was in a very precarious situation, for the people spoke of stoning him, for the souls of all the people were bitter, each one over his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.
大卫甚是焦急, 因众人为自己的儿女苦恼, 说: “要用石头打死他. ”大卫却倚靠耶和华─他的神, 心里坚固.

30:7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here for me.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
大卫对亚希米勒的儿子祭司亚比亚他说: “请你将以弗得拿过来. ”亚比亚他就将以弗得拿到大卫面前.

30:8 And David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Should I pursue after this band of raiders? Will I overtake them?” He said to him, “Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will certainly rescue them.”
大卫求问耶和华说: “我追赶敌军, 追得上追不上呢? ”耶和华说: “你可以追, 必追得上, 都救得回来. ”

30:9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the Wadi Besor, but the rest remained.
于是, 大卫和跟随他的六百人来到比梭溪; 有不能前去的就留在那里.

30:10 David pursued, he and four hundred men; but two hundred men stayed because they were too exhausted to pass over the Wadi Besor.
大卫却带着四百人往前追赶, 有二百人疲乏, 不能过比梭溪, 所以留在那里.

30:11 Then they found an Egyptian man in the open country and brought him to David, and they gave him food and he ate; they also gave him water.
这四百人在田野遇见一个埃及人, 就带他到大卫面前, 给他饼吃, 给他水喝,

30:12 They gave him a slice of fig cake and two raisin cakes; he ate and this revived him, because he had not eaten food or drunk water for three days and three nights.
又给他一块无花果饼, 两个葡萄饼. 他吃了, 就精神复原; 因为他三日三夜没有吃饼, 没有喝水.

30:13 Then David said to him, “To whom do you belong, and from where are you? The young man said, “I am an Egyptian young man, a servant of an Amalekite man, but my master abandoned me because I became ill three days ago.
大卫问他说: “你是属谁的? 你是哪里的人? ”他回答说: “我是埃及的少年人, 是亚玛力人的奴仆; 因我三日前患病, 我主人就把我撇弃了.

30:14 We raided the Negev of the Kerethites and that which belongs to Judah and then the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
我们侵夺了基利提的南方和属犹大的地, 并迦勒地的南方, 又用火烧了洗革拉. ”

30:15 So David asked him, “Will you take me down to this band of raiders?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and that you will not deliver me into my master’s hand! Then I will take you down to this band.”
大卫问他说: “你肯领我们到敌军那里不肯? ”他回答说: “你要向我指著神起誓, 不杀我, 也不将我交在我主人手里, 我就领你下到敌军那里. ”

30:16 So he took him down, and there they were, spread out over the surface of all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all of the abundant plunder which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
那人领大卫下去, 见他们散在地上, 吃喝跳舞, 因为从非利士地和犹大地所掳来的财物甚多.

30:17 Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.
大卫从黎明直到次日晚上, 击杀他们, 除了四百骑骆驼的少年人之外, 没有一个逃脱的.

30:18 So David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; David also rescued his two wives.
亚玛力人所掳去的财物, 大卫全都夺回, 并救回他的两个妻来.

30:19 None of theirs was missing from the smallest to the greatest, even sons and daughters, from the plunder up to everything they had taken for themselves; David brought back everything.
凡亚玛力人所掳去的, 无论大小,儿女,财物, 大卫都夺回来, 没有失落一个.

30:20 And David took all of the sheep, and the cattle they drove along in front of that livestock, and they said, “This is David’s plunder.”
大卫所夺来的牛群羊群, 跟随他的人赶在原有的群畜前边, 说: “这是大卫的掠物. ”

30:21 Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David; they had left them behind at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. David came near with the people and asked them how they were doing.
大卫到了那疲乏不能跟随,留在比梭溪的二百人那里. 他们出来迎接大卫并跟随的人. 大卫前来问他们安.

30:22 Then all the corrupt and useless men among the men who went with David reacted and said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything from the plunder which we recovered, except each man may take his own wife and children. They must take them along and go!”
跟随大卫人中的恶人和匪类说: “这些人既然没有和我们同去, 我们所夺的财物就不分给他们, 只将他们各人的妻子儿女给他们, 使他们带去就是了. ”

30:23 But David said to them, “You should not do so, my brothers, with what Yahweh has given to us! He has preserved us and has given the raiding band that came against us into our hand.
大卫说: “弟兄们, 耶和华所赐给我们的, 不可不分给他们; 因为他保佑我们, 将那攻击我们的敌军交在我们手里.

30:24 And who would listen to you regarding this matter? For as the share of the one who went down into the battle, so the share of the one who remained with the baggage will be. They will share alike.”
这事谁肯依从你们呢? 上阵的得多少, 看守器具的也得多少; 应当大家平分. ”

30:25 So from that day and beyond, he made it a rule and a regulation for Israel until this day.
大卫定此为以色列的律例典章, 从那日直到今日.

30:26 Then David came to Ziklag, and he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the enemies of Yahweh!”
大卫到了洗革拉, 从掠物中取些送给他朋友犹大的长老, 说: “这是从耶和华仇敌那里夺来的, 送你们为礼物. ”

30:27 It was for those in Bethel, for those in Ramoth of the Negev, for those in Jattir,
他送礼物给住伯特利的, 南地拉末的, 雅提珥的;

30:28 for those in Aroer, for those in Siphmoth, for those in Eshtemoa,
住亚罗珥的, 息末的, 以实提莫的;

30:29 for those in Racal, for those in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, for those in the towns of the Kenites,
住拉哈勒的, 耶拉篾各城的, 基尼各城的;

30:30 for those in Hormah, for those in Bor Ashan, for those in Athach,
住何珥玛的, 歌拉珊的, 亚挞的;

30:31 for those in Hebron, and for all the places where David and his men had roamed.
住希伯仑的, 并大卫和跟随他的人素来所到之处的人.

I Samuel - Chapter 31

31:1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and they fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
非利士人与以色列人争战. 以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑, 在基利波有被杀仆倒的.

31:2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malki-Shua, the sons of Saul.
非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们, 就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单,亚比拿达,麦基舒亚.

31:3 Saul was in the thick of the battle, and the archers spotted him, and he was badly wounded by the archers.
势派甚大, 扫罗被弓箭手追上, 射伤甚重,

31:4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, so that these uncircumcised do not come and thrust me through and make a fool of me!” But his armor bearer was not willing to do so because he was very afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
就吩咐拿他兵器的人说: “你拔出刀来, 将我刺死, 免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我, 凌辱我. ”但拿兵器的人甚惧怕, 不肯刺他; 扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了.

31:5 And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died with him.
拿兵器的人见扫罗已死, 也伏在刀上死了.

31:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men together that same day.
这样, 扫罗和他三个儿子, 与拿他兵器的人, 以及跟随他的人, 都一同死亡.

31:7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those who were beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the towns and fled. Thus the Philistines came and lived in them.
住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人, 见以色列军兵逃跑, 扫罗和他儿子都死了, 也就弃城逃跑. 非利士人便来住在其中.

31:8 And then the next day, the Philistines came to strip the dead and they found Saul and his three sons lying dead on Mount Gilboa.
次日, 非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服, 看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山,

31:9 So they cut off his head and stripped off his armor. Then they sent messengers around in the land of the Philistines to proclaim victory in the temples of their idols and to the people.
就割下他的首级, 剥了他的军装, 打发人到(或译: 送到)非利士地的四境, 报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民;

31:10 And they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreth, and they fastened his corpse to the wall of Beth Shan.
又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里, 将他的尸身钉在伯‧珊的城墙上.

31:11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard about it, what the Philistines had done to Saul,
基列‧雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事,

31:12 all of the valiant men set out and went all night and took the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
他们中间所有的勇士就起身, 走了一夜, 将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯‧珊城墙上取下来, 送到雅比那里, 用火烧了;

31:13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and they fasted for seven days.
将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下, 就禁食七日.

II Samuel (撒母耳记下)

II Samuel - Chapter 1

1:1 After the death of Saul, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and he stayed at Ziklag two days.
扫罗死后, 大卫击杀亚玛力人回来, 在洗革拉住了两天.

1:2 On the third day, a man came from the camp from being with Saul, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and bowed down.
第三天, 有一人从扫罗的营里出来, 衣服撕裂, 头蒙灰尘, 到大卫面前伏地叩拜.

1:3 David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
大卫问他说: “你从哪里来? ”他说: “我从以色列的营里逃来. ”

1:4 Then David said to him, “How did things go? Please tell me.” He answered, “When the army fled from the battle, and many of the people fell; also, Saul and Jonathan his son died.”
大卫又问他说: “事情怎样? 请你告诉我. ”他回答说: “百姓从阵上逃跑, 也有许多人仆倒死亡; 扫罗和他儿子约拿单也死了. ”

1:5 Then David asked the young man who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan died?”
大卫问报信的少年人说: “你怎么知道扫罗和他儿子约拿单死了呢? ”

1:6 The young man who was reporting to him said, “I merely happened to be on Mount Gilboa. Here Saul was leaning on his spear, and look, the chariots and the horsemen were getting close to him.
报信的少年人说: “我偶然到基利波山, 看见扫罗伏在自己枪上, 有战车,马兵紧紧地追他.

1:7 When he turned around and saw me, he called to me, and I said, ‘Here I am.’
他回头看见我, 就呼叫我. 我说: ‘我在这里. ’

1:8 Then he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ And I said to him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
他问我说: ‘你是甚么人? ’我说: ‘我是亚玛力人. ’

1:9 He said to me, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for convulsions have seized me, even though my life is still in me.’
他说: ‘请你来, 将我杀死; 因为痛苦抓住我, 我的生命尚存. ’

1:10 So I stood over him and killed him, for I knew that he could not live after his falling; I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm; and here, I have brought them to my lord.
我准知他仆倒必不能活, 就去将他杀死, 把他头上的冠冕,臂上的镯子拿到我主这里. ”

1:11 David grabbed at his clothes and tore them, as did all of the men who were with him.
大卫就撕裂衣服, 跟随他的人也是如此,

1:12 Then they mourned and wept and fasted over Saul and Jonathan his son until the evening, as well as over the people of Yahweh and over the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.
而且悲哀哭号, 禁食到晚上, 是因扫罗和他儿子约拿单, 并耶和华的民以色列家的人, 倒在刀下.

1:13 Then David said to the young man who was reporting to him, “Where are you from?” And he said, “I am the son of an alien man. I am an Amalekite.”
大卫问报信的少年人说: “你是哪里的人? ”他说: “我是亚玛力客人的儿子. ”

1:14 David said to him, “How is it that you were not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed one?”
大卫说: “你伸手杀害耶和华的受膏者, 怎么不畏惧呢? ”

1:15 Then David called to one of the young men and said to him, “Come near; strike him.” So he struck him down and he died.
大卫叫了一个少年人来, 说: “你去杀他吧! ”

1:16 David said to him, “Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you by saying, ‘I killed Yahweh’s anointed one!’ ”
大卫对他说: “你流人血的罪归到自己的头上, 因为你亲口作见证说: ‘我杀了耶和华的受膏者. ’”少年人就把他杀了.

1:17 Then David sang this funeral song over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
大卫作哀歌, 吊扫罗和他儿子约拿单,

1:18 And he ordered “The Bow” to be taught to the children of Judah. Look, it is written on the scroll of Jashar.
且吩咐将这歌教导犹大人. 这歌名叫“弓歌”, 写在雅煞珥书上.

1:19 “The glory of Israel is on your high places; how the mighty have fallen!
歌中说: 以色列啊, 你尊荣者在山上被杀! 大英雄何竟死亡!

1:20 Do not tell it in Gath; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
不要在迦特报告; 不要在亚实基伦街上传扬; 免得非利士的女子欢乐; 免得未受割礼之人的女子矜夸.

1:21 O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you or on the fields of grain for offerings, for there the small shield of the mighty was defiled, the small shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
基利波山哪, 愿你那里没有雨露! 愿你田地无土产可作供物! 因为英雄的盾牌在那里被污丢弃; 扫罗的盾牌仿佛未曾抹油.

1:22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return without effect.
约拿单的弓箭非流敌人的血不退缩; 扫罗的刀剑非剖勇士的油不收回.

1:23 Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives and were not separated in their death. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
扫罗和约拿单─活时相悦相爱, 死时也不分离─他们比鹰更快, 比狮子还强.

1:24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, the one who clothed you with crimson, the one who adorned your clothing with golden ornaments.
以色列的女子啊, 当为扫罗哭号! 他曾使你们穿朱红色的美衣, 使你们衣服有黄金的妆饰.

1:25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle; Jonathan lies slain on your high places.
英雄何竟在阵上仆倒! 约拿单何竟在山上被杀!

1:26 I am distressed over you, my brother Jonathan. you were very dear to me; your love was more wonderful to me than the love of women.
我兄约拿单哪, 我为你悲伤! 我甚喜悦你! 你向我发的爱情奇妙非常, 过于妇女的爱情.

1:27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of warfare perished.”
英雄何竟仆倒! 战具何竟灭没!

II Samuel - Chapter 2

2:1 It happened after this that David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah?” And Yahweh said to him, “Go up.” David asked, “Where shall I go up?” And he said, “To Hebron.”
此后, 大卫问耶和华说: “我上犹大的一个城去可以吗? ”耶和华说: “可以. ”大卫说: “我上哪一个城去呢? ”耶和华说: “上希伯仑去. ”

2:2 So David went up there along with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
于是大卫和他的两个妻─一个是耶斯列人亚希暖, 一个是作过迦密人拿八妻的亚比该─都上那里去了.

2:3 Also, David brought up his men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns of Hebron.
大卫也将跟随他的人和他们各人的眷属一同带上去, 住在希伯仑的城邑中.

2:4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David there as king over the house of Judah, and they told David, “The men of Jabesh-Gilead buried Saul.”
犹大人来到希伯仑, 在那里膏大卫作犹大家的王. 有人告诉大卫说: “葬埋扫罗的是基列‧雅比人. ”

2:5 So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead and said to them, “May you be blessed by Yahweh because you did this loyal love with your lord, with Saul, and you buried him.
大卫就差人去见基列‧雅比人, 对他们说: “你们厚待你们的主─扫罗, 将他葬埋. 愿耶和华赐福与你们!

2:6 Now may Yahweh show loyal love and faithfulness with you. I will also show the good with you that you have done in this matter.
你们既行了这事, 愿耶和华以慈爱诚实待你们, 我也要为此厚待你们.

2:7 So then, let your hands be strong and be valiant, for your lord Saul is dead, and the house of Judah has anointed me as king over them.”
现在你们的主─扫罗死了, 犹大家已经膏我作他们的王, 所以你们要刚强奋勇. ”

2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, the commander of Saul’s army, had taken Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
扫罗的元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥, 曾将扫罗的儿子伊施波设带过河, 到玛哈念,

2:9 He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over Israel, all of it.
立他作王, 治理基列,亚书利,耶斯列,以法莲,便雅悯, 和以色列众人.

2:10 Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul was forty years old when he became king over Israel and he reigned two years; however, the house of Judah followed David.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设登基的时候年四十岁, 作以色列王二年; 惟独犹大家归从大卫.

2:11 The number of days that David was king over Hebron, over the house of Judah, was seven years and six months.
大卫在希伯仑作犹大家的王, 共七年零六个月.

2:12 Abner the son of Ner and the servants of Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
尼珥的儿子押尼珥和扫罗的儿子伊施波设的仆人从玛哈念出来, 往基遍去.

2:13 Then Joab the son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out, and they met at the pool of Gibeon. The one group sat on one side of the pool, and the other sat on the other side.
洗鲁雅的儿子约押和大卫的仆人也出来, 在基遍池旁与他们相遇; 一班坐在池这边, 一班坐在池那边.

2:14 Abner said to Joab, “Let the young men come up and fight in our presence.” And Joab said, “Let them come up.”
押尼珥对约押说: “让少年人起来, 在我们面前戏耍吧! ”约押说: “可以. ”

2:15 So they came forward and passed by in number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David.
就按着定数起来: 属扫罗儿子伊施波设的便雅悯人过去十二名, 大卫的仆人也过去十二名,

2:16 Then each seized his opponent by the head and each thrust his sword in the side of his opponent, so they fell together. So they called the name of that place Helkath Hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
彼此揪头, 用刀刺肋, 一同仆倒. 所以, 那地叫作希利甲‧哈素林, 就在基遍.

2:17 Then the battle became increasingly fierce on that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
那日的战事凶猛, 押尼珥和以色列人败在大卫的仆人面前.

2:18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift with his feet as one of the gazelles which is in the open field.
在那里有洗鲁雅的三个儿子: 约押,亚比筛,亚撒黑. 亚撒黑脚快如野鹿一般;

2:19 So Asahel pursued Abner, and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left from going after Abner.
亚撒黑追赶押尼珥, 直追赶他不偏左右.

2:20 Abner turned around and said, “Are you this Asahel?” And he said, “Yes.”
押尼珥回头说: “你是亚撒黑吗? ”回答说: “是. ”

2:21 Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left; seize for yourself one of the young men, and take his belongings for yourself.” But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from him.
押尼珥对他说: “你或转向左转向右, 拿住一个少年人, 剥去他的战衣. ”亚撒黑却不肯转开不追赶他.

2:22 So Abner said to Asahel once again, “For your own sake, turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you down to the ground? How could I show my face to Joab your brother?”
押尼珥又对亚撒黑说: “你转开不追赶我吧! 我何必杀你呢? 若杀你, 有甚么脸见你哥哥约押呢? ”

2:23 But he refused to turn away, so Abner struck him in the stomach with the butt of the spear, and the spear went out of his back. He fell there and he died on the spot. Then all who came to the place where Asahel fell and died just stood there.
亚撒黑仍不肯转开. 故此, 押尼珥就用枪鐏刺入他的肚腹, 甚至枪从背后透出, 亚撒黑就在那里仆倒而死. 众人赶到亚撒黑仆倒而死的地方, 就都站住.

2:24 So Joab and Abishai pursued Abner when the sun went down. And they came to the hill country of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
约押和亚比筛追赶押尼珥, 日落的时候, 到了通基遍旷野的路旁, 基亚对面的亚玛山.

2:25 The descendants of Benjamin rallied after Abner, and they became as one fighting group and stood on the top of a certain hill.
便雅悯人聚集, 跟随押尼珥站在一个山顶上.

2:26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, “Will the sword devour forever? Do you not know that there will be bitterness in the end? How long will you not tell the people to turn away from pursuing their brothers?”
押尼珥呼叫约押说: “刀剑岂可永远杀人吗? 你岂不知终久必有苦楚吗? 你要等何时才叫百姓回去,不追赶弟兄呢? ”

2:27 Joab said, “As God lives, for if you had not spoken, the people would surely have gone up in the morning, each one of them from following after his brother.”
约押说: “我指著永生的神起誓: 你若不说戏耍的那句话, 今日早晨百姓就回去, 不追赶弟兄了. ”

2:28 Then Joab blew on the trumpet and all the people stopped, and they no longer pursued after Israel, and they did not fight with them again.
于是约押吹角, 众民就站住, 不再追赶以色列人, 也不再打仗了.

2:29 Then Abner and his men went through the Arabah all that night, and they crossed over the Jordan. They went all the forenoon and came to Mahanaim.
押尼珥和跟随他的人整夜经过亚拉巴, 过约旦河, 走过毕伦, 到了玛哈念.

2:30 After Joab returned from pursuing Abner, he gathered all the people; nineteen of the servants of David were missing along with Asahel.
约押追赶押尼珥回来, 聚集众民, 见大卫的仆人中缺少了十九个人和亚撒黑.

2:31 The servants of David had killed some of the Benjaminites among the men of Abner; three hundred and sixty men had died.
但大卫的仆人杀了便雅悯人和跟随押尼珥的人, 共三百六十名.

2:32 Then they picked up Asahel and buried him in the grave of his father, which was at Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all that night arriving in Hebron at first light.
众人将亚撒黑送到伯利恒, 葬在他父亲的坟墓里. 约押和跟随他的人走了一夜, 天亮的时候到了希伯仑.

II Samuel - Chapter 3

3:1 The battle was prolonged between the house of Saul and the house of David, but David was growing stronger and stronger while the house of Saul was becoming weaker and weaker.
扫罗家和大卫家争战许久. 大卫家日见强盛; 扫罗家日见衰弱.

3:2 And sons were born to David in Hebron; his firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam from Jezreel.
大卫在希伯仑得了几个儿子: 长子暗嫩是耶斯列人亚希暖所生的;

3:3 His second was Kileab by Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; the third was Absalom the son of Maacah, who was the daughter of Talmai the king of Geshur.
次子基利押(在历代上三章一节作但以利)是作过迦密人拿八的妻亚比该所生的; 三子押沙龙是基述王达买的女儿玛迦所生的;

3:4 The fourth was Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth was Shephatiah the son of Abital.
四子亚多尼雅是哈及所生的; 五子示法提雅是亚比她所生的;

3:5 The sixth was Ithream by Eglah the wife of David. These were born to David in Hebron.
六子以特念是大卫的妻以格拉所生的. 大卫这六个儿子都是在希伯仑生的.

3:6 As the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was continuing, Abner was strengthening himself in the house of Saul.
扫罗家和大卫家争战的时候, 押尼珥在扫罗家大有权势.

3:7 Saul had had a concubine, and her name was Rizpah the daughter of Aiah. Then Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you have sex with my father’s concubine?”
扫罗有一妃嫔, 名叫利斯巴, 是爱亚的女儿. 一日, 伊施波设对押尼珥说: “你为甚么与我父的妃嫔同房呢? ”

3:8 Abner became very angry at the words of Ish-Bosheth, and he said, “Am I the head of a dog which is for Judah today? Do I not continue to show loyal love with the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends? I have not let you fall into the hands of David, yet you have accused me of sin with this woman today.
押尼珥因伊施波设的话就甚发怒, 说: “我岂是犹大的狗头呢? 我恩待你父扫罗的家和他的弟兄,朋友, 不将你交在大卫手里, 今日你竟为这妇人责备我吗?

3:9 Thus may God punish Abner, if I do not accomplish what Yahweh has sworn to David;
我若不照着耶和华起誓应许大卫的话行, 废去扫罗的位, 建立大卫的位, 使他治理以色列和犹大, 从但直到别是巴, 愿神重重地降罚与我! ”

3:10 specifically, to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah from Dan to Beersheba!”
a

3:11 And Ish-Bosheth was no longer able to answer Abner because he feared him.
伊施波设惧怕押尼珥, 不敢回答一句.

3:12 Abner sent messengers to David where he was, saying, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me! Look, my hand is with you to bring all of Israel over to you!”
押尼珥打发人去见大卫, 替他说: “这国归谁呢? ”又说: “你与我立约, 我必帮助你, 使以色列人都归服你. ”

3:13 He said, “Good. I will make a covenant with you. I am asking only one thing from you: You shall not see my face unless you bring Michal the daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”
大卫说: “好! 我与你立约. 但有一件, 你来见我面的时候, 若不将扫罗的女儿米甲带来, 必不得见我的面. ”

3:14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth the son of Saul, saying, “Give me my wife Michal whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
大卫就打发人去见扫罗的儿子伊施波设, 说: “你要将我的妻米甲归还我; 她是我从前用一百非利士人的阳皮所聘定的. ”

3:15 So Ish-Bosheth sent and took her from her husband, from Paltiel the son of Laish.
伊施波设就打发人去, 将米甲从拉亿的儿子,她丈夫帕铁那里接回来.

3:16 But her husband went with her, weeping all along after her as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go and return.” So he returned.
米甲的丈夫跟着她, 一面走一面哭, 直跟到巴户琳. 押尼珥说: “你回去吧! ”帕铁就回去了.

3:17 The word of Abner came to the elders of Israel, saying, “For quite some time you were seeking David as king over you.
押尼珥对以色列长老说: “从前你们愿意大卫作王治理你们,

3:18 So then, bring it about, because Yahweh had said to David, “Through the hand of David my servant I am about to save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.”
现在你们可以照心愿而行. 因为耶和华曾论到大卫说: ‘我必藉我仆人大卫的手, 救我民以色列脱离非利士人和众仇敌的手. ’”

3:19 Abner also spoke privately to Benjamin. Abner also went to speak to David in Hebron, all that was good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
押尼珥也用这话说给便雅悯人听, 又到希伯仑, 将以色列人和便雅悯全家一切所喜悦的事说给大卫听.

3:20 Then Abner came to David in Hebron and with him were twenty men. David had prepared a feast for Abner and for the men who were with him.
押尼珥带着二十个人来到希伯仑见大卫, 大卫就为押尼珥和他带来的人设摆筵席.

3:21 And Abner said to David, “Let me get up and go and gather all of Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you so you can reign over all which your soul desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he left in peace.
押尼珥对大卫说: “我要起身去招聚以色列众人来见我主我王, 与你立约, 你就可以照着心愿作王. ”于是大卫送押尼珥去, 押尼珥就平平安安地去了.

3:22 And look, the servants of David and Joab came from the raid, and they brought much plunder with them. But Abner was not with David at Hebron, for he had dismissed him, and he had gone in peace.
约押和大卫的仆人攻击敌军, 带回许多的掠物. 那时押尼珥不在希伯仑大卫那里, 因大卫已经送他去, 他也平平安安地去了.

3:23 When Joab and all the army that was with him came, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he left in peace.”
约押和跟随他的全军到了, 就有人告诉约押说: “尼珥的儿子押尼珥来见王, 王送他去, 他也平平安安地去了. ”

3:24 Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Abner came here to you? Why have you dismissed him that he actually went away?
约押去见王说: “你这是做甚么呢? 押尼珥来见你, 你为何送他去, 他就踪影不见了呢?

3:25 You know that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you. He came to learn about your going out and coming in and to know all which you are doing.”
你当晓得, 尼珥的儿子押尼珥来是要诓哄你, 要知道你的出入和你一切所行的事. ”

3:26 Then Joab went out from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from Bor Hasirah, but David did not know it.
约押从大卫那里出来, 就打发人去追赶押尼珥, 在西拉井追上他, 将他带回来, 大卫却不知道.

3:27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate to speak with him in private. Then he struck him in the stomach there and he died, for he had shed the blood of Asahel his brother.
押尼珥回到希伯仑, 约押领他到城门的瓮洞, 假作要与他说机密话, 就在那里刺透他的肚腹, 他便死了. 这是报杀他兄弟亚撒黑的仇.

3:28 When David heard this afterwards, he said: “I and my kingdom are innocent before Yahweh forever for the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
大卫听见了, 就说: “流尼珥的儿子押尼珥的血, 这罪在耶和华面前必永不归我和我的国.

3:29 May the blood come down on the head of Joab and all the house of his father. May the house of Joab never lack one with a bodily discharge or one with leprosy or one who grasps the distaff or one who falls by the sword or one who is lacking food.”
愿流他血的罪归到约押头上和他父的全家; 又愿约押家不断有患漏症的, 长大痲疯的, 架柺而行的, 被刀杀死的, 缺乏饮食的. ”

3:30 So Joab and Abishai, his brother, killed Abner because he had killed Asahel, their brother, at Gibeon in the battle.
约押和他兄弟亚比筛杀了押尼珥, 是因押尼珥在基遍争战的时候杀了他们的兄弟亚撒黑.

3:31 David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothing and put on sackcloth and mourn before Abner.” Now King David was following after the bier.
大卫吩咐约押和跟随他的众人说: “你们当撕裂衣服, 腰束麻布, 在押尼珥棺前哀哭. ”大卫王也跟在棺后.

3:32 And they buried Abner at Hebron. And the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
他们将押尼珥葬在希伯仑. 王在押尼珥的墓旁放声而哭, 众民也都哭了.

3:33 The king sang a lament for Abner and said, “Should Abner have died the death of a fool?
王为押尼珥举哀, 说: 押尼珥何竟像愚顽人死呢?

3:34 Your hands were not tied and your feet were not in contact with bronze fetters. You have fallen as one who falls before sons of wickedness.” Then all the people wept over him again.
你手未曾捆绑, 脚未曾锁住. 你死, 如人死在罪孽之辈手下一样. 于是众民又为押尼珥哀哭.

3:35 Then all the people came to give David food. Still on that day, David swore, “May God punish me if I taste food or anything before the sun goes down.”
日头未落的时候, 众民来劝大卫吃饭, 但大卫起誓说: “我若在日头未落以前吃饭, 或吃别物, 愿神重重地降罚与我! ”

3:36 All the people noticed, and it was good in their eyes, as everything that the king did was good in the eyes of all the people.
众民知道了就都喜悦. 凡王所行的, 众民无不喜悦.

3:37 Then all the people and all of Israel realized on that day that the king had not desired to kill Abner the son of Ner.
那日, 以色列众民才知道杀尼珥的儿子押尼珥并非出于王意.

3:38 Then the king said to his servants, “Did you not realize that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
王对臣仆说: “你们岂不知今日以色列人中死了一个作元帅的大丈夫吗?

3:39 I am weak today even though anointed king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are crueler than I am. May Yahweh pay them back for doing wickedness according to their own wickedness.”
我虽然受膏为王, 今日还是软弱; 这洗鲁雅的两个儿子比我刚强. 愿耶和华照着恶人所行的恶报应他. ”

II Samuel - Chapter 4

4:1 When the son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his courage failed and all of Israel was horrified.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设听见押尼珥死在希伯仑, 手就发软; 以色列众人也都惊惶.

4:2 Two of the men, commanders of the raiding bands, were for the son of Saul. The name of one was Baanah, and the name of the other was Recab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from the descendants of Benjamin; also, Beeroth was regarded as belonging to Benjamin.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设有两个军长, 一名巴拿, 一名利甲, 是便雅悯支派,比录人临门的儿子. 比录也属便雅悯.

4:3 The Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and they are resident aliens there until this day.
比录人早先逃到基他音, 在那里寄居, 直到今日.

4:4 (Now Jonathan the son of Saul had a son who was crippled in the feet. He was five years old when the message of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse had picked him up and fled. It happened that as she was hurrying away to flee, he fell and became crippled. His name was Mephibosheth.)
扫罗的儿子约拿单有一个儿子名叫米非波设, 是瘸腿的. 扫罗和约拿单死亡的消息从耶斯列传到的时候, 他才五岁. 他乳母抱着他逃跑; 因为跑得太急, 孩子掉在地上, 腿就瘸了.

4:5 When the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Recab and Baanah, set out, they came at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-Bosheth while he was taking a noontime rest.
一日, 比录人临门的两个儿子利甲和巴拿出去, 约在午热的时候到了伊施波设的家; 伊施波设正睡午觉.

4:6 They came as far as the middle of the house as if takers of wheat, and they struck him in the stomach. Then Recab and Baanah his brother escaped.
他们进了房子, 假作要取麦子, 就刺透伊施波设的肚腹, 逃跑了.

4:7 When they had come into the house, he was lying on his couch in his bedchamber, and they attacked him and killed him. Then they beheaded him, and they took his head and went on the way of the Arabah all night.
他们进房子的时候, 伊施波设正在卧房里躺在床上, 他们将他杀死, 割了他的首级, 拿着首级在亚拉巴走了一夜,

4:8 They brought the head of Ish-Bosheth to David at Hebron, and they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-Bosheth, the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life. Yahweh has given to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul and on his offspring.”
将伊施波设的首级拿到希伯仑见大卫王, 说: “王的仇敌扫罗曾寻索王的性命. 看哪, 这是他儿子伊施波设的首级; 耶和华今日为我主我王在扫罗和他后裔的身上报了仇. ”

4:9 Then David answered Recab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and he said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who redeemed my soul from all trouble,
大卫对比录人临门的儿子利甲和他兄弟巴拿说: “我指著救我性命脱离一切苦难,永生的耶和华起誓:

4:10 when the one who told me, “Look, Saul is dead,” thought that he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was as my giving the news back to him.
从前有人报告我说, 扫罗死了, 他自以为报好消息; 我就拿住他, 将他杀在洗革拉, 这就作了他报消息的赏赐.

4:11 How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his house, on his bed! So then, shall I not seek his lifeblood from your hand, so that I may destroy you from the earth?”
何况恶人将义人杀在他的床上, 我岂不向你们讨流他血的罪,从世上除灭你们呢? ”

4:12 Then David commanded the young men, and they killed them, and they cut off their hands and their feet, and they hung them at the pool at Hebron, but the head of Ish-Bosheth they took and buried in the grave of Abner at Hebron.
于是大卫吩咐少年人将他们杀了, 砍断他们的手脚, 挂在希伯仑的池旁, 却将伊施波设的首级葬在希伯仑押尼珥的坟墓里.

II Samuel - Chapter 5

5:1 So all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and they said, “Here we are, we are your flesh and blood.
以色列众支派来到希伯仑见大卫, 说: “我们原是你的骨肉.

5:2 For some time, when Saul was king over us, you were leading Israel in and out. Yahweh had said to you, ‘You shall be the shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be the leader over Israel.’ ”
从前扫罗作我们王的时候, 率领以色列人出入的是你; 耶和华也曾应许你说: ‘你必牧养我的民以色列, 作以色列的君. ’”

5:3 All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron in the presence of Yahweh; then they anointed David as king over Israel.
于是以色列的长老都来到希伯仑见大卫王, 大卫在希伯仑耶和华面前与他们立约, 他们就膏大卫作以色列的王.

5:4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.
大卫登基的时候年三十岁, 在位四十年;

5:5 He reigned over Judah at Hebron for seven years and six months; and he reigned over all Israel and Judah at Jerusalem for thirty-three years.
在希伯仑作犹大王七年零六个月, 在耶路撒冷作以色列和犹大王三十三年.

5:6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here, for even the blind and the lame can turn you back, saying, ‘David cannot come here.’ ”
大卫和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷, 要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人. 耶布斯人对大卫说: “你若不赶出瞎子,瘸子, 必不能进这地方”; 心里想大卫决不能进去.

5:7 David captured the fortress of Zion, the city of David.
然而大卫攻取锡安的保障, 就是大卫的城.

5:8 David had said, “On that day when we attack the Jebusites, one must attack the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David, by means of the water supply.” For thus the blind and the lame would say, “He cannot come into the house.”
当日, 大卫说: “谁攻打耶布斯人, 当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子,瞎子. ”从此有俗语说: “在那里有瞎子,瘸子, 他不能进屋去. ”

5:9 David occupied the fortress and called it the city of David. And David built all around it from the Millo and inward.
大卫住在保障里, 给保障起名叫大卫城. 大卫又从米罗以里, 周围筑墙.

5:10 David continued growing stronger and stronger, and Yahweh the God of hosts was with him.
大卫日见强盛, 因为耶和华─万军之神与他同在.

5:11 So Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, along with cedar trees and craftsmen skilled in wood and in stone masonry, and they built a house for David.
泰尔王希兰将香柏木运到大卫那里, 又差遣使者和木匠,石匠给大卫建造宫殿.

5:12 David realized that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.
大卫就知道耶和华坚立他作以色列王, 又为自己的民以色列使他的国兴旺.

5:13 David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem after he came from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
大卫离开希伯仑之后, 在耶路撒冷又立后妃, 又生儿女.

5:14 These are the names of the ones born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon;
在耶路撒冷所生的儿子是沙母亚,朔罢,拿单,所罗门,

5:15 Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Japhia;
益辖,以利书亚,尼斐,雅非亚,

5:16 Elishama and Eliada and Eliphelet.
以利沙玛,以利雅大,以利法列.

5:17 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard and went down to the stronghold.
非利士人听见人膏大卫作以色列王, 非利士众人就上来寻索大卫; 大卫听见, 就下到保障.

5:18 Now the Philistines had come, and they spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
非利士人来了, 布散在利乏音谷.

5:19 And David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up to the Philistines? Will you give them into my hands?” Yahweh said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
大卫求问耶和华说: “我可以上去攻打非利士人吗? 你将他们交在我手里吗? ”耶和华说: “你可以上去, 我必将非利士人交在你手里. ”

5:20 So David came to Baal Perazim and defeated them there; and David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like the bursting of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
大卫来到巴力‧毘拉心, 在那里击杀非利士人, 说: “耶和华在我面前冲破敌人, 如同水冲去一般. ”因此称那地方为巴力‧毘拉心.

5:21 They had left their idols there, so David and his men carried them away.
非利士人将偶像撇在那里, 大卫和跟随他的人拿去了.

5:22 Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
非利士人又上来, 布散在利乏音谷.

5:23 So David inquired of Yahweh, but he said, “You shall not go up. Rather, go around to their rear and come to them from opposite the balsam trees.
大卫求问耶和华; 耶和华说: “不要一直地上去, 要转到他们后头, 从桑林对面攻打他们.

5:24 And it shall be that when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then pay attention, for then Yahweh has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”
你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音, 就要急速前去, 因为那时耶和华已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队. ”

5:25 So David did thus, just as Yahweh had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
大卫就遵著耶和华所吩咐的去行, 攻打非利士人, 从迦巴直到基色.

II Samuel - Chapter 6

6:1 David again gathered all the chosen men in Israel, thirty thousand.
大卫又聚集以色列中所有挑选的人三万.

6:2 David got up and went and all the people who were with him, from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God which is called the name, the name of Yahweh of hosts, upon which the cherubim sit.
大卫起身, 率领跟随他的众人前往, 要从巴拉‧犹大将神的约柜运来; 这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华留名的约柜.

6:3 They loaded the ark of God on a new utility cart, and they carried it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Now Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new utility cart along.
他们将神的约柜从冈上亚比拿达的家里抬出来, 放在新车上; 亚比拿达的两个儿子乌撒和亚希约赶这新车.

6:4 So they brought it out from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill with the ark of God, and Ahio was going before the ark.
他们将神的约柜从冈上亚比拿达家里抬出来的时候, 亚希约在柜前行走.

6:5 Now David and all the house of Israel were dancing before Yahweh, with all kinds of musical instruments made from ash trees, and with zithers, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
大卫和以色列的全家在耶和华面前, 用松木制造的各样乐器和琴,瑟,鼓,钹,锣, 作乐跳舞.

6:6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzza reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen had stumbled.
到了拿艮的禾场, 因为牛失前蹄(或译: 惊跳), 乌撒就伸手扶住神的约柜.

6:7 Then the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and God struck him down there because of the indiscretion, and he died there beside the ark of God.
神耶和华向乌撒发怒, 因这错误击杀他, 他就死在神的约柜旁.

6:8 David was angry because Yahweh had burst out against Uzza, and he called that place Perez-Uzza until this day.
大卫因耶和华击杀(原文是闯杀)乌撒, 心里愁烦, 就称那地方为毘列斯‧乌撒, 直到今日.

6:9 But David feared Yahweh on that day and said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?”
那日, 大卫惧怕耶和华, 说: “耶和华的约柜怎可运到我这里来? ”

6:10 However, David was not willing to bring the ark of Yahweh to himself, to the city of David, so David caused it to turn to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
于是大卫不肯将耶和华的约柜运进大卫的城, 却运到迦特人俄别‧以东的家中.

6:11 So the ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
耶和华的约柜在迦特人俄别‧以东家中三个月; 耶和华赐福给俄别‧以东和他的全家.

6:12 It was told to King David, “Yahweh has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and all that is his because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with jubilation.
有人告诉大卫王说: “耶和华因为约柜赐福给俄别‧以东的家和一切属他的. ”大卫就去, 欢欢喜喜地将神的约柜从俄别‧以东家中抬到大卫的城里.

6:13 It happened that when the carriers of the ark of Yahweh had marched six steps that he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
抬耶和华约柜的人走了六步, 大卫就献牛与肥羊为祭.

6:14 Now David was dancing with all his might before Yahweh, and David was wearing a linen ephod.
大卫穿着细麻布的以弗得, 在耶和华面前极力跳舞.

6:15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of Yahweh with shouts of joyful acclaim and with the sound of the trumpet.
这样, 大卫和以色列的全家欢呼吹角, 将耶和华的约柜抬上来.

6:16 It happened that when the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked down through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh, and she despised him in her heart.
耶和华的约柜进了大卫城的时候, 扫罗的女儿米甲从窗户里观看, 见大卫王在耶和华面前踊跃跳舞, 心里就轻视他.

6:17 They brought the ark of Yahweh and set it in its place in the middle of the tent which David had pitched for it. Then David offered up burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in the presence of Yahweh.
众人将耶和华的约柜请进去, 安放在所预备的地方, 就是在大卫所搭的帐幕里. 大卫在耶和华面前献燔祭和平安祭.

6:18 When David had finished from the sacrificing of the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts.
大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭, 就奉万军之耶和华的名给民祝福,

6:19 Then he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man to woman, to each: one ring-shaped piece of bread, one cake of dates, and one cake of raisins; and all the people went each to his house.
并且分给以色列众人, 无论男女, 每人一个饼, 一块肉, 一个葡萄饼; 众人就各回各家去了.

6:20 When David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. She said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today by uncovering himself before the eyes of the maids of his servants, as the total exposure of a worthless one.”
大卫回家要给眷属祝福; 扫罗的女儿米甲出来迎接他, 说: “以色列王今日在臣仆的婢女眼前露体, 如同一个轻贱人无耻露体一样, 有好大的荣耀啊! ”

6:21 So David said to Michal, “In the presence of Yahweh who chose me over your father and over his household, to appoint me as leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel, I have celebrated before Yahweh.
大卫对米甲说: “这是在耶和华面前; 耶和华已拣选我, 废了你父和你父的全家, 立我作耶和华民以色列的君, 所以我必在耶和华面前跳舞.

6:22 I will demean myself again more than this, and I will be abased in my eyes, but with the maids whom you mentioned, with them I will be honored.”
我也必更加卑微, 自己看为轻贱. 你所说的那些婢女, 她们倒要尊敬我. ”

6:23 So for Michal the daughter of Saul, she had no child until the day of her death.
扫罗的女儿米甲, 直到死日, 没有生养儿女.

II Samuel - Chapter 7

7:1 It happened that the king settled in his house. (Now Yahweh had given rest to him from all his enemies all around.)
王住在自己宫中, 耶和华使他安靖, 不被四围的仇敌扰乱.

7:2 And the king said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, please, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is staying in the middle of the tent.”
那时, 王对先知拿单说: “看哪, 我住在香柏木的宫中, 神的约柜反在幔子里. ”

7:3 Nathan said to the king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.”
拿单对王说: “你可以照你的心意而行, 因为耶和华与你同在. ”

7:4 But it happened that night, the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
当夜, 耶和华的话临到拿单说:

7:5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Are you the one to build for me a house for my dwelling?
“你去告诉我仆人大卫, 说耶和华如此说: ‘你岂可建造殿宇给我居住呢?

7:6 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought up the Israelites from Egypt until this day; rather, I was going about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
自从我领以色列人出埃及直到今日, 我未曾住过殿宇, 常在会幕和帐幕中行走.

7:7 In all of my going about among all the Israelites, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, ‘Why did you not build me a cedar house?’ ” ’
凡我同以色列人所走的地方, 我何曾向以色列一支派的士师, 就是我吩咐牧养我民以色列的说: 你们为何不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢? ’

7:8 So then, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “I took you from the pasture from following the sheep to be a leader over my people, over Israel,
“现在, 你要告诉我仆人大卫, 说万军之耶和华如此说: ‘我从羊圈中将你召来, 叫你不再跟从羊群, 立你作我民以色列的君.

7:9 and I have been with you everywhere you went. I have cut off all of your enemies from in front of you, and I will make a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who are on the earth.
你无论往哪里去, 我常与你同在, 剪除你的一切仇敌. 我必使你得大名, 好像世上大大有名的人一样.

7:10 I will make a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them so that they can dwell in their own place. They will not tremble any longer, and the children of wickedness will not afflict them again, as in the former days.
我必为我民以色列选定一个地方, 栽培他们, 使他们住自己的地方, 不再迁移; 凶恶之子也不像从前扰害他们,

7:11 In the manner that I appointed judges over my people Israel, I will give you rest from all your enemies. And Yahweh declares to you that Yahweh will build a house for you.
并不像我命士师治理我民以色列的时候一样. 我必使你安靖, 不被一切仇敌扰乱, 并且我─耶和华应许你, 必为你建立家室.

7:12 When your days are full and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you who will go out from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
你寿数满足,与你列祖同睡的时候, 我必使你的后裔接续你的位; 我也必坚定他的国.

7:13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
他必为我的名建造殿宇; 我必坚定他的国位, 直到永远.

7:14 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son for me, whom I will punish when he does wrong, with a rod of men and with blows of the human beings.
我要作他的父, 他要作我的子; 他若犯了罪, 我必用人的杖责打他, 用人的鞭责罚他.

7:15 But my loyal love shall not depart from him as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
但我的慈爱仍不离开他, 像离开在你面前所废弃的扫罗一样.

7:16 Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before you; your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
你的家和你的国必在我(原文是你)面前永远坚立. 你的国位也必坚定, 直到永远. ’”

7:17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, this Nathan spoke to David.
拿单就按这一切话, 照这默示, 告诉大卫.

7:18 Then King David went and sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, my lord Yahweh, and what is my house that you have brought me up to this place?
于是大卫王进去, 坐在耶和华面前, 说: “主耶和华啊, 我是谁? 我的家算甚么? 你竟使我到这地步呢?

7:19 Still, this was insignificant in your eyes, my lord Yahweh, and also you have spoken about the house of your servant from afar, and this may be the teaching of humans, my lord Yahweh.
主耶和华啊, 这在你眼中还看为小, 又应许你仆人的家至于久远. 主耶和华啊, 这岂是人所常遇的事吗?

7:20 What more can David say to you? You know your servant, my lord Yahweh.
主耶和华啊, 我还有何言可以对你说呢? 因为你知道你的仆人.

7:21 Because of your word and according to your heart, you have done all of this great thing, in order to let your servant know.
你行这大事使仆人知道, 是因你所应许的话, 也是照你的心意.

7:22 Therefore you are great, my lord Yahweh, for there is no one like you, and there is no god except you, in all that we have heard with our ears.
主耶和华啊, 你本为大, 照我们耳中听见, 没有可比你的; 除你以外再无神.

7:23 Who is like your people, like Israel? Israel is the one nation on earth whose God led them, in order to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to do for you the great and awesome things for your land in the presence of your people whom he redeemed for himself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods.
世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢? 你从埃及救赎他们作自己的子民, 又在你赎出来的民面前行大而可畏的事, 驱逐列邦人和他们的神, 显出你的大名.

7:24 You have established your people Israel for yourself as a people forever, and you, O Yahweh, have become their God.
你曾坚立你的民以色列作你的子民, 直到永远; 你─耶和华也作了他们的神.

7:25 So then, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do just as you have promised.
“耶和华神啊, 你所应许仆人和仆人家的话, 求你坚定, 直到永远; 照你所说的而行.

7:26 Your name shall be great forever, and they will say, ‘Yahweh of hosts is God over Israel’; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
愿人永远尊你的名为大, 说: ‘万军之耶和华是治理以色列的神. ’这样, 你仆人大卫的家必在你面前坚立.

7:27 For you, O Yahweh of hosts, are God of Israel! You have revealed to the ear of your servant, ‘I will build a house for you’; therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
万军之耶和华─以色列的神啊, 因你启示你的仆人说: ‘我必为你建立家室’, 所以仆人大胆向你如此祈祷.

7:28 Now, my Lord Yahweh, you alone are God, and your words are true. You have promised this good to your servant.
“主耶和华啊, 惟有你是神. 你的话是真实的; 你也应许将这福气赐给仆人.

7:29 So then, be content and bless the house of your servant to be forever in your presence, for you, my Lord Yahweh, have spoken, and because of your blessing, may the house of your servant be blessed forever.”
现在求你赐福与仆人的家, 可以永存在你面前. 主耶和华啊, 这是你所应许的. 愿你永远赐福与仆人的家! ”

II Samuel - Chapter 8

8:1 It happened afterwards that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Metheg Ammah from the hands of the Philistines.
此后, 大卫攻打非利士人, 把他们治服, 从他们手下夺取了京城的权柄(原文是母城的嚼环);

8:2 When he defeated Moab, he measured them with the cord, making them lie on the ground. He measured two cords to kill and the third cord to let live. So Moab became servants of David, bringing tribute.
又攻打摩押人, 使他们躺卧在地上, 用绳量一量: 量二绳的杀了, 量一绳的存留. 摩押人就归服大卫, 给他进贡.

8:3 Then David struck down Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his monument at the Euphrates River.
琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢往大河去, 要夺回他的国权. 大卫就攻打他,

大马士革的亚兰人来帮助琐巴王哈大底谢, 大卫就杀了亚兰人二万二千.

8:6 David placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, so Aram became servants of David, bringing tribute. Yahweh protected David everywhere he went.
于是大卫在大马士革的亚兰地设立防营, 亚兰人就归服他, 给他进贡. 大卫无论往哪里去, 耶和华都使他得胜.

8:7 David took the small round gold shields which had belonged to the servants of Hadadezer, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

8:10 Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and to congratulate him because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had often been at war with Toi. He brought with him objects of silver and objects of gold and objects of bronze.
就打发他儿子约兰去见大卫王, 问他的安, 为他祝福, 因为他杀败了哈大底谢(原来陀以与哈大底谢常常争战). 约兰带了金银铜的器皿来,

8:11 King David dedicated them also to Yahweh along with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated from all of the nations which he had subdued;
大卫王将这些器皿和他治服各国所得来的金银都分别为圣, 献给耶和华,

8:12 from Aram and from Moab and from the Ammonites and from the Philistines and from Amalek and from the plunder of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
就是从亚兰,摩押,亚扪,非利士,亚玛力人所得来的, 以及从琐巴王利合的儿子哈大底谢所掠之物.

大卫在盐谷击杀了亚兰(或译: 以东, 见诗篇六十篇诗题)一万八千人回来, 就得了大名;

8:14 He put garrisons in Edom; all over Edom he put garrisons, and all of Edom became servants of David. Yahweh protected David wherever he went.
又在以东全地设立防营, 以东人就都归服大卫. 大卫无论往哪里去, 耶和华都使他得胜.

II Samuel - Chapter 9

9:1 Then David said, “Is there still anyone who is left for the house of Saul that I may show loyal love to him for the sake of Jonathan?”
大卫问说: “扫罗家还有剩下的人没有? 我要因约拿单的缘故向他施恩. ”

9:2 Now Saul’s household had a servant whose name was Ziba, so they summoned him to David, and the king asked him, “Are you Ziba?” He said, “At your service!”
扫罗家有一个仆人, 名叫洗巴, 有人叫他来见大卫, 王问他说: “你是洗巴吗? ”回答说: “仆人是. ”

9:3 Then the king said, “But is there still anyone of Saul’s household that I may show the loyal love of God with him?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in the feet.”
王说: “扫罗家还有人没有? 我要照神的慈爱恩待他. ”洗巴对王说: “还有约拿单的一个儿子, 是瘸腿的. ”

9:4 The king said to him, “Where is he?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is here in the house of Makir the son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.”
王说: “他在哪里? ”洗巴对王说: “他在罗‧底巴, 亚米利的儿子玛吉家里. ”

9:5 So King David sent and brought him from the house of Makir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar.
于是大卫王打发人去, 从罗‧底巴亚米利的儿子玛吉家里召了他来.

9:6 So Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David. And he fell on his face and did obeisance. David said, “Mephibosheth,” and he said, “I am ready to serve you.”
扫罗的孙子,约拿单的儿子米非波设来见大卫, 伏地叩拜. 大卫说: “米非波设! ”米非波设说: “仆人在此. ”

9:7 Then David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for I will certainly show loyal love to you for the sake of Jonathan your father, and I will restore to you all the lands of Saul your father. And you shall always eat food at my table.”
大卫说: “你不要惧怕, 我必因你父亲约拿单的缘故施恩与你, 将你祖父扫罗的一切田地都归还你; 你也可以常与我同席吃饭. ”

9:8 Then he did obeisance and said, “What is your servant that you have paid attention to the dead dog like me?”
米非波设又叩拜, 说: “仆人算甚么, 不过如死狗一般, 竟蒙王这样眷顾! ”

9:9 David summoned Ziba the servant of Saul and said to him, “All that was Saul’s and all his household I have given to the son of your master.
王召了扫罗的仆人洗巴来, 对他说: “我已将属扫罗和他的一切家产都赐给你主人的儿子了.

9:10 You shall till the land for him, you and your sons and your servants; you shall bring in the produce and it shall be food for the son of your master that he may eat. But Mephibosheth the son of your master may always eat food at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty slaves.)
你和你的众子,仆人要为你主人的儿子米非波设耕种田地, 把所产的拿来供他食用; 他却要常与我同席吃饭. ”洗巴有十五个儿子, 二十个仆人.

9:11 Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my master the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth was eating at his table as one of the sons of the king.
洗巴对王说: “凡我主我王吩咐仆人的, 仆人都必遵行. ”王又说: “米非波设必与我同席吃饭, 如王的儿子一样. ”

9:12 Now Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Micah, and all of the dwelling of the household of Ziba became servants for Mephibosheth.
米非波设有一个小儿子, 名叫米迦. 凡住在洗巴家里的人都作了米非波设的仆人.

9:13 And Mephibosheth was living in Jerusalem, because he was continually eating at the table of the king, even though he was lame in both of his feet.
于是米非波设住在耶路撒冷, 常与王同席吃饭. 他两腿都是瘸的.

II Samuel - Chapter 10

10:1 Afterwards the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun ruled in his place.
此后, 亚扪人的王死了, 他儿子哈嫩接续他作王.

10:2 David said, “I will show loyal love with Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father showed loyal love with me.” So David sent to console him concerning his father, by the hand of his servants. And the servants of David came to the land of the Ammonites.
大卫说: “我要照哈嫩的父亲拿辖厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩. ”于是大卫差遣臣仆, 为他丧父安慰他. 大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内.

10:3 But the commanders of the Ammonites said to Hanun their master, “In your opinion, is David honoring your father because he has sent condolences to you? Is it not in order to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it that David sent his servants to you?”
但亚扪人的首领对他们的主哈嫩说: “大卫差人来安慰你, 你想他是尊敬你父亲吗? 他差臣仆来不是详察窥探,要倾覆这城吗? ”

10:4 Then Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off half of their beards and cut their garments off in the middle up to their buttocks, then sent them away.
哈嫩便将大卫臣仆的胡须剃去一半, 又割断他们下半截的衣服, 使他们露出下体, 打发他们回去.

10:5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Remain in Jericho until your beards have grown, and then you can return.”
有人告诉大卫, 他就差人去迎接他们, (因为他们甚觉羞耻), 告诉他们说: “可以住在耶利哥, 等到胡须长起再回来. ”

10:6 When the Ammonites saw that they had become odious to David, the Ammonites sent word and hired Aram Beth-Rehob and Aram-Zobah, twenty thousand infantry; and they also hired the king of Maacah, a thousand men, and the men of Tob, twelve thousand men.
亚扪人知道大卫憎恶他们, 就打发人去, 招募伯‧利合的亚兰人和琐巴的亚兰人, 步兵二万, 与玛迦王的人一千,陀伯人一万二千.

10:7 When David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of mighty warriors.
大卫听见了, 就差派约押统带勇猛的全军出去.

10:8 The Ammonites came out and drew up a battle formation at the entrance of the gate, but Aram-Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were alone in the open field.
亚扪人出来, 在城门前摆阵; 琐巴与利合的亚兰人,陀伯人, 并玛迦人, 另在郊野摆阵.

10:9 When Joab saw that the battle was to be fought on two fronts, he chose from all the members of the elite troops of Israel and lined them up for battle to meet Aram.
约押看见敌人在他前后摆阵, 就从以色列军中挑选精兵, 使他们对着亚兰人摆阵.

10:10 The rest of the army he placed into the hand of his brother Abishai, who arranged them in battle lines to meet the Ammonites.
其余的兵交与他兄弟亚比筛, 对着亚扪人摆阵.

10:11 Then he said, “If Aram is stronger than I am, you must become my deliverer; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you.
约押对亚比筛说: “亚兰人若强过我, 你就来帮助我; 亚扪人若强过你, 我就去帮助你.

10:12 Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves for the sake of the people and for the sake of the cities of our God. May Yahweh do what is good in his eyes.
我们都当刚强, 为本国的民和神的城邑作大丈夫. 愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行! ”

10:13 Joab and all the people who were with him moved forward into the battle against Aram, and they fled from before him.
于是, 约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人; 亚兰人在约押面前逃跑.

10:14 When the Ammonites saw that Aram had fled, they fled from before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑, 他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑进城. 约押就离开亚扪人那里, 回耶路撒冷去了.

10:15 When the Arameans saw that they were defeated before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败, 就又聚集.

10:16 Then Hadadezer sent and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the Euphrates, and they came to Helam. Now Shobach, the commander of the army of Hadadezer, was at their head.
哈大底谢差遣人, 将大河那边的亚兰人调来; 他们到了希兰, 哈大底谢的将军朔法率领他们.

10:17 David was told, so he gathered all Israel and crossed over the Jordan and came to Helam. Aram arranged themselves in battle lines to meet David, and they fought with him.
有人告诉大卫, 他就聚集以色列众人, 过约旦河, 来到希兰. 亚兰人迎著大卫摆阵, 与他打仗.

10:18 And Aram fled before Israel, and David killed from the Arameans seven hundred chariot teams and forty thousand horsemen. He struck down Shobach, the commander of his army, and he died there.
亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑; 大卫杀了亚兰七百辆战车的人, 四万马兵, 又杀了亚兰的将军朔法.

10:19 When all the kings, the servants of Hadadezer, saw that he had been defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them, and Aram was afraid to help the Ammonites any longer.
属哈大底谢的诸王见自己被以色列人打败, 就与以色列人和好, 归服他们. 于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了.

II Samuel - Chapter 11

11:1 It came about in the spring, at the time kings go out, David sent Joab and his servants with him and all of Israel. They ravaged all of the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David was remaining in Jerusalem.
过了一年, 到列王出战的时候, 大卫又差派约押, 率领臣仆和以色列众人出战. 他们就打败亚扪人, 围攻拉巴. 大卫仍住在耶路撒冷.

11:2 It happened late one afternoon that David got up from his bed and walked about on the roof of the king’s house, and he saw a woman bathing on her roof. Now the woman was very beautiful.
一日, 太阳平西, 大卫从床上起来, 在王宫的平顶上游行, 看见一个妇人沐浴, 容貌甚美,

11:3 David sent and inquired about the woman, and someone said, “Is this not Bathsheba the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
大卫就差人打听那妇人是谁. 有人说: “她是以连的女儿, 赫人乌利亚的妻拔示巴. ”

11:4 Then David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
大卫差人去, 将妇人接来; 那时她的月经才得洁净. 她来了, 大卫与她同房, 她就回家去了.

11:5 The woman became pregnant, and she sent and told David, and she said, “I am pregnant.”
于是她怀了孕, 打发人去告诉大卫说: “我怀了孕. ”

11:6 So David sent to Joab, “Send Uriah the Hittite to me.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.
大卫差人到约押那里, 说: “你打发赫人乌利亚到我这里来. ”约押就打发乌利亚去见大卫.

11:7 Uriah came to him, and David asked how Joab and the army fared and how the war was going.
乌利亚来了, 大卫问约押好, 也问兵好, 又问争战的事怎样.

11:8 David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and wash your feet.” So Uriah went out from the king’s house, and a gift from the king went out after him.
大卫对乌利亚说: “你回家去, 洗洗脚吧! ”乌利亚出了王宫, 随后王送他一分食物.

11:9 But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house with all the servants of his master and did not go down to his house.
乌利亚却和他主人的仆人一同睡在宫门外, 没有回家去.

11:10 They told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house.” David said to Uriah, “Are you not coming from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”
有人告诉大卫说: “乌利亚没有回家去. ”大卫就问乌利亚说: “你从远路上来, 为甚么不回家去呢? ”

11:11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are living in the booths; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping on the surface of the open field; and I, shall I go to my house to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I surely will not do this thing.”
乌利亚对大卫说: “约柜和以色列与犹大兵都住在棚里, 我主约押和我主(或译: 王)的仆人都在田野安营, 我岂可回家吃喝,与妻子同寝呢? 我敢在王面前起誓(原文是我指著王和王的性命起誓): 我决不行这事! ”

11:12 David said to Uriah, “Remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem on that day and the next.
大卫吩咐乌利亚说: “你今日仍住在这里, 明日我打发你去. ”于是乌利亚那日和次日住在耶路撒冷.

11:13 David invited him, and he ate and drank in his presence so that he became drunk, and he went out in the evening to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
大卫召了乌利亚来, 叫他在自己面前吃喝, 使他喝醉. 到了晚上, 乌利亚出去与他主的仆人一同住宿, 还没有回到家里去.

11:14 And it happened in the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab, and he sent it by the hand of Uriah.
次日早晨, 大卫写信与约押, 交乌利亚随手带去.

11:15 He had written in the letter, “Put Uriah in the front, in the face of the fiercest fighting, then draw back from behind him so that he may be struck down and die.”
信内写着说: “要派乌利亚前进, 到阵势极险之处, 你们便退后, 使他被杀. ”

11:16 When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah toward the place which he knew there were valiant warriors.
约押围城的时候, 知道敌人那里有勇士, 便将乌利亚派在那里.

11:17 The men of the city came out and fought with Joab. Some from the army from the servants of David fell; Uriah the Hittite also died.
城里的人出来和约押打仗; 大卫的仆人中有几个被杀的, 赫人乌利亚也死了.

11:18 Joab sent and told David all of the news of the battle.
于是, 约押差人去将争战的一切事告诉大卫,

11:19 He instructed the messenger, saying, “As you are finishing to speak all the news of the battle to the king,
又嘱咐使者说: “你把争战的一切事对王说完了,

11:20 if the anger of the king rises and he says to you, ‘Why did you go near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from atop the wall?
王若发怒, 问你说: ‘你们打仗为甚么挨近城墙呢? 岂不知敌人必从城上射箭吗?

11:21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerub-bosheth, if not a woman who threw an upper millstone on him from atop the wall and he died at Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?’ Then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.’ ”
从前打死耶路‧比设(就是耶路‧巴力, 见士师记九章一节)儿子亚比米勒的是谁呢? 岂不是一个妇人从城上抛下一块上磨石来, 打在他身上, 他就死在提备斯么? 你们为甚么挨近城墙呢? ’你就说: ‘王的仆人─赫人乌利亚也死了. ’”

11:22 Then the messenger left, and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him to say.
使者起身, 来见大卫, 照着约押所吩咐他的话奏告大卫.

11:23 The messenger said to David, “Because the men overpowered us, the men came out to us in the field, but we forced them back to the entrance of the gate.
使者对大卫说: “敌人强过我们, 出到郊野与我们打仗, 我们追杀他们, 直到城门口.

11:24 The archers shot at your servant from atop the wall, and some of the servants of the king died; your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.”
射箭的从城上射王的仆人, 射死几个, 赫人乌利亚也死了. ”

11:25 Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab, ‘Do not feel badly about this matter; now one and then another the sword will devour. Intensify your attack on the city and overthrow it.’ ” And he encouraged him.
王向使者说: “你告诉约押说: ‘不要因这事愁闷, 刀剑或吞灭这人或吞灭那人, 没有一定的; 你只管竭力攻城, 将城倾覆. ’可以用这话勉励约押. ”

11:26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned over her husband.
乌利亚的妻听见丈夫乌利亚死了, 就为他哀哭.

11:27 When the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his household, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing which David had done was evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
哀哭的日子过了, 大卫差人将她接到宫里, 她就作了大卫的妻, 给大卫生了一个儿子. 但大卫所行的这事, 耶和华甚不喜悦.

II Samuel - Chapter 12

12:1 So Yahweh sent Nathan to David, and he came to him and said, “Two men were in a certain city; one was rich and the other was poor.
耶和华差遣拿单去见大卫. 拿单到了大卫那里, 对他说: “在一座城里有两个人: 一个是富户, 一个是穷人.

12:2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
富户有许多牛群羊群;

12:3 but the poor man had nothing except for one small ewe lamb which he had bought. He had nurtured her, and she grew up with him and with his children together. She used to eat from his morsel and drink from his cup, and she used to lie in his lap and became like a daughter for him.
穷人除了所买来养活的一只小母羊羔之外, 别无所有. 羊羔在他家里和他儿女一同长大, 吃他所吃的, 喝他所喝的, 睡在他怀中, 在他看来如同女儿一样.

12:4 And a visitor came to the rich man, but he was reluctant to take from his flocks or from his herds to prepare a meal for the traveler when he came to him. So he took the ewe lamb of the poor man and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
有一客人来到这富户家里; 富户舍不得从自己的牛群羊群中取一只预备给客人吃, 却取了那穷人的羊羔, 预备给客人吃. ”

12:5 Then the anger of David was kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
大卫就甚恼怒那人, 对拿单说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 行这事的人该死!

12:6 He shall restore the ewe lamb fourfold because he has done this thing, and because he had no pity.”
他必偿还羊羔四倍; 因为他行这事, 没有怜恤的心. ”

12:7 Then Nathan said to him, “You are the man! Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
拿单对大卫说: “你就是那人! 耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘我膏你作以色列的王, 救你脱离扫罗的手.

12:8 I gave you the household of your master and the women of your master into your lap. I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah; if that had been too little, I would have added to you much more.
我将你主人的家业赐给你, 将你主人的妻交在你怀里, 又将以色列和犹大家赐给你; 你若还以为不足, 我早就加倍地赐给你.

12:9 Why have you despised the word of Yahweh by doing evil in his eyes? Uriah the Hittite you have struck down with the sword, and his wife you have taken to yourself as wife! You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites!
你为甚么藐视耶和华的命令, 行他眼中看为恶的事呢? 你借亚扪人的刀杀害赫人乌利亚, 又娶了他的妻为妻.

12:10 So then, a sword will not turn away from your house forever, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife!’
你既藐视我, 娶了赫人乌利亚的妻为妻, 所以刀剑必永不离开你的家. ’

12:11 Thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am going to raise up evil against you from within your house, and I will take your women before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor, and he shall sleep with your wives in broad daylight.
耶和华如此说: ‘我必从你家中兴起祸患攻击你; 我必在你眼前把你的妃嫔赐给别人, 他在日光之下就与她们同寝.

12:12 Though you did this in secret, I will do this thing before all of Israel in broad daylight!’ ”
你在暗中行这事, 我却要在以色列众人面前, 日光之下, 报应你. ’”

12:13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh!” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has also forgiven your sin; you shall not die.
大卫对拿单说: “我得罪耶和华了! ”拿单说: “耶和华已经除掉你的罪, 你必不至于死.

12:14 But because you have utterly scorned Yahweh in this matter, the son born for you will certainly die.”
只是你行这事, 叫耶和华的仇敌大得亵渎的机会, 故此, 你所得的孩子必定要死. ”

12:15 Then Nathan went to his house, and Yahweh struck the child that the wife of Uriah bore for David, and he became ill.
拿单就回家去了. 耶和华击打乌利亚妻给大卫所生的孩子, 使他得重病.

12:16 David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy and David fasted. He went to spend the night and lay upon the ground.
所以大卫为这孩子恳求神, 而且禁食, 进入内室, 终夜躺在地上.

12:17 The elders of his household stood over him to lift him up from the ground, but he was not willing, and he did not eat any food with them.
他家中的老臣来到他旁边, 要把他从地上扶起来, 他却不肯起来, 也不同他们吃饭.

12:18 It happened on the seventh day that the child died, and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, when the child was alive, we spoke to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How can we tell him, ‘The child is dead’? He may do something evil.”
到第七日, 孩子死了. 大卫的臣仆不敢告诉他孩子死了, 因他们说: “孩子还活着的时候, 我们劝他, 他尚且不肯听我们的话, 若告诉他孩子死了, 岂不更加忧伤吗? ”

12:19 When David saw that his servants were whispering together, he realized that the child was dead. Then David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.”
大卫见臣仆彼此低声说话, 就知道孩子死了, 问臣仆说: “孩子死了吗? ”他们说: “死了. ”

12:20 David stood up from the ground and washed and anointed himself and changed his clothing. Then he went to the house of Yahweh and worshiped, and he went to his own house. He asked, so they served him food, and he ate.
大卫就从地上起来, 沐浴, 抹膏, 换了衣裳, 进耶和华的殿敬拜; 然后回宫, 吩咐人摆饭, 他便吃了.

12:21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; now that the child has died, you get up and eat food!”
臣仆问他说: “你所行的是甚么意思? 孩子活着的时候, 你禁食哭泣; 孩子死了, 你倒起来吃饭. ”

12:22 He said, “When the child was still alive, I fasted and I wept because I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may have mercy on me that the child will live.’
大卫说: “孩子还活着, 我禁食哭泣; 因为我想, 或者耶和华怜恤我, 使孩子不死也未可知.

12:23 But now he is dead. Why should I be fasting? Am I able to return him again? I am going to him, but he cannot return to me.”
孩子死了, 我何必禁食, 我岂能使他返回呢? 我必往他那里去, 他却不能回我这里来. ”

12:24 David consoled Bathsheba his wife, and he went to her and slept with her. She bore a son, and he called him Solomon, and Yahweh loved him.
大卫安慰他的妻拔示巴, 与她同寝, 她就生了儿子, 给他起名叫所罗门. 耶和华也喜爱他,

12:25 He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet, so he called him Jedidiah because of Yahweh.
就藉先知拿单赐他一个名字, 叫耶底底亚, 因为耶和华爱他.

12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and he captured the royal city.
约押攻取亚扪人的京城拉巴.

12:27 Then Joab sent messengers to David and said, “We have fought against Rabbah, and we captured the city of the waters.
约押打发使者去见大卫, 说: “我攻打拉巴, 取其水城.

12:28 So then, gather the remainder of the army and encamp against the city and capture it, lest I capture the city and my name be proclaimed over it.”
现在你要聚集其余的军兵来, 安营围攻这城, 恐怕我取了这城, 人就以我的名叫这城. ”

12:29 So David gathered all of the army, and he went to Rabbah and fought against it and captured it.
于是大卫聚集众军, 往拉巴去攻城, 就取了这城,

12:30 He took the crown of their king from his head. (Now its weight was a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it and it was put on David’s head.) He brought out the plunder of the city in great abundance.
夺了亚扪人之王所戴的金冠冕(王: 或译玛勒堪; 玛勒堪就是米勒公, 又名摩洛, 亚扪族之神名), 其上的金子重一他连得, 又嵌著宝石. 人将这冠冕戴在大卫头上. 大卫从城里夺了许多财物,

12:31 He also brought out the people who were in it and put them to the saws and to the iron picks and to the iron axes, and he sent them to the place of the brickmakers. Thus he used to do to all the cities of the Ammonites, and he and all of the army returned to Jerusalem.
将城里的人拉出来, 放在锯下, 或铁耙下, 或铁斧下, 或叫他经过砖窑(或译: 强他们用锯, 或用打粮食的铁器, 或用铁斧做工, 或使在砖窑里服役); 大卫待亚扪各城的居民都是如此. 其后, 大卫和众军都回耶路撒冷去了.

II Samuel - Chapter 13

13:1 It happened afterwards that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David fell in love with her.
大卫的儿子押沙龙有一个美貌的妹子, 名叫她玛. 大卫的儿子暗嫩爱她.

13:2 And Amnon was so frustrated that he felt ill because of Tamar his sister, because she was a virgin, and it was too difficult in Amnon’s eyes to do anything with her.
暗嫩为他妹子她玛忧急成病. 她玛还是处女, 暗嫩以为难向她行事.

13:3 Now Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, the brother of David. (Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.)
暗嫩有一个朋友, 名叫约拿达, 是大卫长兄示米亚的儿子. 这约拿达为人极其狡猾;

13:4 And he said to him, “Why are you so sullen every morning, O son of the king? Will you not tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
他问暗嫩说: “王的儿子啊, 为何一天比一天瘦弱呢? 请你告诉我. ”暗嫩回答说: “我爱我兄弟押沙龙的妹子她玛. ”

13:5 Then Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and appear ill. If your father comes to see you, you shall say to him, ‘Please let Tamar my sister come and give me food to eat, and let her prepare the food before my eyes, in order that I may see it and eat from her hand.’ ”
约拿达说: “你不如躺在床上装病; 你父亲来看你, 就对他说: ‘求父叫我妹子她玛来, 在我眼前预备食物, 递给我吃, 使我看见, 好从她手里接过来吃. ’”

13:6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill, and the king came to see him. Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come, and let her bake two cakes before my eyes that I may eat from her hand.”
于是暗嫩躺卧装病. 王来看他, 他对王说: “求父叫我妹子她玛来, 在我眼前为我做两个饼, 我好从她手里接过来吃. ”

13:7 So David sent to the house for Tamar, saying, “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare food for him.”
大卫就打发人到宫里, 对她玛说: “你往你哥哥暗嫩的屋里去, 为他预备食物. ”

13:8 Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother. Now he was lying down, and she took the dough and kneaded it and made cakes before his eyes, and she baked the cakes.
她玛就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋里; 暗嫩正躺卧. 她玛抟面, 在他眼前做饼, 且烤熟了,

13:9 Then she took the pan and poured it out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, “Let all the men go out from me.” So all the men went out from him.
在他面前将饼从锅里倒出来, 他却不肯吃, 便说: “众人离开我出去吧! ”众人就都离开他, 出去了.

13:10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food to the private room that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them to Amnon her brother in the private room.
暗嫩对她玛说: “你把食物拿进卧房, 我好从你手里接过来吃. ”她玛就把所做的饼拿进卧房, 到她哥哥暗嫩那里,

13:11 When she brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”
拿着饼上前给他吃, 他便拉住她玛, 说: “我妹妹, 你来与我同寝. ”

13:12 Then Tamar said to him, “No, my brother! Do not force me, for such a thing has not been done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
她玛说: “我哥哥, 不要玷辱我. 以色列人中不当这样行, 你不要做这丑事;

13:13 As for me, where should I take my disgrace? You will be as one of the fools in Israel. So please, speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
你玷辱了我, 我何以掩盖我的羞耻呢? 你在以色列中也成了愚妄人. 你可以求王, 他必不禁止我归你. ”

13:14 But he was not willing to listen to her voice. He was stronger than she, and he forced her and lay with her.
但暗嫩不肯听她的话, 因比她力大, 就玷辱她, 与她同寝.

13:15 Then Amnon hated her very deeply, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. So Amnon said to her, “Get up and go.”
随后, 暗嫩极其恨她, 那恨她的心比先前爱她的心更甚, 对她说: “你起来, 去吧! ”

13:16 She said to him, “No, because this evil in sending me away is greater than the other you have done to me.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
她玛说: “不要这样! 你赶出我去的这罪比你才行的更重! ”但暗嫩不肯听她的话,

13:17 Then he called his young man who was serving him and said, “Please send this woman from me to the outside, and bolt the door behind her!”
就叫伺候自己的仆人来, 说: “将这个女子赶出去! 她一出去, 你就关门, 上闩. ”

13:18 Now there was a long-sleeved robe on her, for so they clothed the daughters of the king who were virgins, in robes. His servant put her outside, and he bolted the door behind her.
那时她玛穿着彩衣, 因为没有出嫁的公主都是这样穿. 暗嫩的仆人就把她赶出去, 关门上闩.

13:19 Tamar put ashes on her head, and she tore the long-sleeved robe which was on her. She put her hand on her head, and she went away, crying out as she went.
她玛把灰尘撒在头上, 撕裂所穿的彩衣, 以手抱头, 一面行走, 一面哭喊.

13:20 Absalom her brother said to her, “Was Amnon your brother with you? But now, my sister, be quiet; he is your brother. Do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained a desolate woman in the house of Absalom her brother.
她胞兄押沙龙问她说: “莫非你哥哥暗嫩与你亲近了吗? 我妹妹, 暂且不要作声, 他是你的哥哥, 不要将这事放在心上. ”她玛就孤孤单单地住在她胞兄押沙龙家里.

13:21 Now King David heard all these things, and he became very angry.
大卫王听见这事, 就甚发怒.

13:22 Absalom did not speak with Amnon either bad or good, for Absalom hated Amnon over the matter when he raped Tamar his sister.
押沙龙并不和他哥哥暗嫩说好说歹; 因为暗嫩玷辱他妹妹她玛, 所以押沙龙恨恶他.

13:23 About two full years later, Absalom’s shearers were in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom summoned all the sons of the king.
过了二年, 在靠近以法莲的巴力‧夏琐有人为押沙龙剪羊毛; 押沙龙请王的众子与他同去.

13:24 Then Absalom went to the king and said, “Look, here are your servant’s shearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant.
押沙龙来见王, 说: “现在有人为仆人剪羊毛, 请王和王的臣仆与仆人同去. ”

13:25 The king said to Absalom, “No my son, not all of us shall go, so that we not be a burden to you.” And he urged him, but he was not willing to go, but he blessed him.
王对押沙龙说: “我儿, 我们不必都去, 恐怕使你耗费太多. ”押沙龙再三请王, 王仍是不肯去, 只为他祝福.

13:26 So Absalom said, “But will you not let Amnon my brother go with us?” And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
押沙龙说: “王若不去, 求王许我哥哥暗嫩同去. ”王说: “何必要他去呢? ”

13:27 But Absalom pressed him, so he sent Amnon with him and all of the sons of the king.
押沙龙再三求王, 王就许暗嫩和王的众子与他同去.

13:28 Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Please watch. At the moment the heart of Amnon is tipsy with wine, then I shall say to you, ‘Strike Amnon down,’ and you shall kill him! Don’t be afraid. Is it not I myself who has commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant!
押沙龙吩咐仆人说: “你们注意, 看暗嫩饮酒畅快的时候, 我对你们说杀暗嫩, 你们便杀他, 不要惧怕. 这不是我吩咐你们的吗? 你们只管壮胆奋勇! ”

13:29 So Absalom’s servants did to Amnon just as Absalom commanded, and all the sons of the king got up, and each mounted his mule and fled.
押沙龙的仆人就照押沙龙所吩咐的, 向暗嫩行了. 王的众子都起来, 各人骑上骡子, 逃跑了.

13:30 While they were on the way, the message came to David, “Absalom has killed all the sons of the king, and not one of them was left.”
他们还在路上, 有风声传到大卫那里, 说: “押沙龙将王的众子都杀了, 没有留下一个. ”

13:31 Then the king rose and tore his garments, and he lay on the ground, and all his servants standing by were tearing their garments.
王就起来, 撕裂衣服, 躺在地上. 王的臣仆也都撕裂衣服, 站在旁边.

13:32 Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, the brother of David, responded and said, “My lord should not think that all the young men, the sons of the king, are dead, because only Amnon is dead. Absalom was talking about it, as it was being determined from the day he raped Tamar his sister.
大卫的长兄, 示米亚的儿子约拿达说: “我主, 不要以为王的众子─少年人都杀了, 只有暗嫩一个人死了. 自从暗嫩玷辱押沙龙妹子她玛的那日, 押沙龙就定意杀暗嫩了.

13:33 So then, let not my lord the king set his heart on this matter, thinking, ‘All the sons of the king are dead,’ for only Amnon alone is dead.”
现在, 我主我王, 不要把这事放在心上, 以为王的众子都死了, 只有暗嫩一个人死了. ”

13:34 So Absalom fled, and the young man who was keeping watch lifted up his eyes and saw, and there were many people coming from the road behind him from the side of the mountain.
押沙龙逃跑了. 守望的少年人举目观看, 见有许多人从山坡的路上来.

13:35 Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have come. According to the word of your servant, so it has come about.”
约拿达对王说: “看哪, 王的众子都来了, 果然与你仆人所说的相合. ”

13:36 When he finished speaking, look, the sons of the king came and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also, the king and all his servants wept a very great weeping.
话才说完, 王的众子都到了, 放声大哭; 王和臣仆也都哭得甚恸.

13:37 Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, the king of Geshur. David mourned over his son day after day.
押沙龙逃到基述王亚米忽的儿子达买那里去了. 大卫天天为他儿子悲哀.

13:38 But Absalom had fled and went to Geshur, and he was there three years.
押沙龙逃到基述, 在那里住了三年.

13:39 King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was consoled that Amnon had died.
暗嫩死了以后, 大卫王得了安慰, 心里切切想念押沙龙.

II Samuel - Chapter 14

14:1 Joab the son of Zeruiah realized that the mind of the king was on Absalom.
洗鲁雅的儿子约押, 知道王心里想念押沙龙,

14:2 So Joab sent to Tekoa and took from there a wise woman, and he said to her, “Please pretend to mourn and put on garments of mourning. You should not anoint yourself with oil, and you must act like this woman who has been mourning over the dead for a long time.
就打发人往提哥亚去, 从那里叫了一个聪明的妇人来, 对她说: “请你假装居丧的, 穿上孝衣, 不要用膏抹身, 要装作为死者许久悲哀的妇人;

14:3 Then you must go to the king and speak to him according to this word.” Thus Joab put the words in her mouth.
进去见王, 对王如此如此说. ”于是约押将当说的话教导了妇人.

14:4 So the Tekoite woman spoke to the king, and she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance. She said, “Help me, O king!”
提哥亚妇人到王面前, 伏地叩拜, 说: “王啊, 求你拯救! ”

14:5 Then the king asked her, “What do you want?” And she said, “Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
王问她说: “你有甚么事呢? ”回答说: “婢女实在是寡妇, 我丈夫死了.

14:6 Your servant had two sons, and they both fought in the open field, and there was no one to part them. One struck the other and killed him.
我有两个儿子, 一日在田间争斗, 没有人解劝, 这个就打死那个.

14:7 And look, all of the family has risen up against your servant, and they said, ‘Give up the one who struck his brother, that we may kill him in exchange for the life of his brother whom he murdered. We will also wipe out the heir,’ and so they would put out my embers which remain, by not preserving for my husband a name and a remnant on the face of the earth.”
现在全家的人都起来攻击婢女, 说: ‘你将那打死兄弟的交出来, 我们好治死他, 偿他打死兄弟的命, 灭绝那承受家业的. ’这样, 他们要将我剩下的炭火灭尽, 不与我丈夫留名留后在世上. ”

14:8 Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I myself will give the command concerning you.”
王对妇人说: “你回家去吧! 我必为你下令. ”

14:9 The Tekoite woman said to the king, “On me, my lord the king, is the guilt, and on the house of my father, but the king on his throne is innocent.”
提哥亚妇人又对王说: “我主我王, 愿这罪归我和我父家, 与王和王的位无干. ”

14:10 The king said, “Whoever has spoken to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you again.”
王说: “凡难为你的, 你就带他到我这里来, 他必不再搅扰你. ”

14:11 Then she said, “Please may the king remember Yahweh your God, to prevent the increase of blood avengers who kill, so that they not wipe out my son.” He said, “As Yahweh lives, surely not one hair shall fall from your son to the ground.”
妇人说: “愿王记念耶和华─你的神, 不许报血仇的人施行灭绝, 恐怕他们灭绝我的儿子. ”王说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓: 你的儿子连一根头发也不致落在地上. ”

14:12 The woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”
妇人说: “求我主我王容婢女再说一句话. ”王说: “你说吧! ”

14:13 The woman said, “But why have you plotted like this against the people of God? By speaking this word, he is guilty not to bring back his banished one.
妇人说: “王为何也起意要害神的民呢? 王不使那逃亡的人回来, 王的这话就是自证己错了!

14:14 For we must certainly die, and we are as the waters spilled to the ground which cannot be gathered. God will not take a life but devises plans for a banished person not to be cast out from him.
我们都是必死的, 如同水泼在地上, 不能收回. 神并不夺取人的性命, 乃设法使逃亡的人不致成为赶出,回不来的.

14:15 Now I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, because the people made me afraid, and your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king, perhaps the king will grant the request of his servant.
我来将这话告诉我主我王, 是因百姓使我惧怕. 婢女想, 不如将这话告诉王, 或者王成就婢女所求的.

14:16 For the king will listen, to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who seeks to destroy me and my son together from the inheritance of God.’
人要将我和我儿子从神的地业上一同除灭, 王必应允救我脱离他的手.

14:17 Your servant also thought, ‘May the word of my lord the king bring rest, for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, to sense what is good and what is bad.’ May Yahweh your God be with you.”
婢女又想, 我主我王的话必安慰我; 因为我主我王能辨别是非, 如同神的使者一样. 惟愿耶和华─你的神与你同在! ”

14:18 The king answered and said to the woman, “Please do not withhold from me a thing which I am about to ask you.” The woman said, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
王对妇人说: “我要问你一句话, 你一点不要瞒我. ”妇人说: “愿我主我王说. ”

14:19 The king asked, “Was the hand of Joab with you in all of this?” The woman answered and said, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, surely one cannot go to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken. Yes, your servant Joab himself commanded me, and he put all of these words in the mouth of your servant.
王说: “你这些话莫非是约押的主意吗? ”妇人说: “我敢在我主我王面前起誓: 王的话正对, 不偏左右, 是王的仆人约押吩咐我的, 这些话是他教导我的.

14:20 In order to change the situation, your servant Joab did this thing. But my lord has wisdom, as the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.”
王的仆人约押如此行, 为要挽回这事. 我主的智慧却如神使者的智慧, 能知世上一切事. ”

14:21 Then the king said to Joab, “Look, please, I will grant this thing. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.”
王对约押说: “我应允你这事. 你可以去, 把那少年人押沙龙带回来. ”

14:22 Joab fell with his face to the ground and did obeisance. And he blessed the king, and he said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, in that the king has granted the request of his servant.”
约押就面伏于地叩拜, 祝谢于王, 又说: “王既应允仆人所求的, 仆人今日知道在我主我王眼前蒙恩了. ”

14:23 Then Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
于是约押起身往基述去, 将押沙龙带回耶路撒冷.

14:24 The king said, “Let him go over to his house, and he may not see my face.” So Absalom went over to his house, and did not see the face of the king.
王说: “使他回自己家里去, 不要见我的面. ”押沙龙就回自己家里去, 没有见王的面.

14:25 As far as Absalom, there was not a more handsome man in all of Israel to admire so much; from the sole of his foot up to his crown, there was no physical defect on him.
以色列全地之中, 无人像押沙龙那样俊美, 得人的称赞, 从脚底到头顶毫无瑕疵.

14:26 When he shaved his head, it would happen every year, which he did because it was heavy on him, he would shave it off and weigh the hair of his head: two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.
他的头发甚重, 每到年底剪发一次; 所剪下来的, 按王的平称一称, 重二百舍客勒.

14:27 Three sons were born to Absalom and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman beautiful of appearance.
押沙龙生了三个儿子, 一个女儿. 女儿名叫她玛, 是个容貌俊美的女子.

14:28 Absalom lived in Jerusalem two full years, but he did not see the face of the king.
押沙龙住在耶路撒冷足有二年, 没有见王的面.

14:29 So Absalom sent for Joab, in order that he send him to the king, but he was not willing to go to him. He sent again a second time, but he was not willing to go.
押沙龙打发人去叫约押来, 要托他去见王, 约押却不肯来. 第二次打发人去叫他, 他仍不肯来.

14:30 So he said to his servants, “Look at the tract of land of Joab next to mine, for he has barley plants there. Go, set it ablaze with fire.” So the servants of Absalom set the tract of land ablaze with fire.
所以押沙龙对仆人说: “你们看, 约押有一块田, 与我的田相近, 其中有大麦, 你们去放火烧了. ”押沙龙的仆人就去放火烧了那田.

14:31 Then Joab got up and went to Absalom, to the house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my tract of land ablaze with fire?”
于是约押起来, 到了押沙龙家里, 问他说: “你的仆人为何放火烧了我的田呢? ”

14:32 Absalom said to Joab, “Look, I have sent to you, saying, ‘Come here that I may send you to the king to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.” ’ So then, let me see the face of the king; if there is guilt in me, then let him kill me.”
押沙龙回答约押说: “我打发人去请你来, 好托你去见王, 替我说: ‘我为何从基述回来呢? 不如仍在那里. ’现在要许我见王的面; 我若有罪, 任凭王杀我就是了. ”

14:33 So Joab went to the king and he told him. Then he summoned Absalom, and he came to the king, and he bowed down to him with his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.
于是约押去见王, 将这话奏告王, 王便叫押沙龙来. 押沙龙来见王, 在王面前俯伏于地, 王就与押沙龙亲嘴.

II Samuel - Chapter 15

15:1 It happened afterward that Absalom made himself a chariot with horses and fifty men running before him.
此后, 押沙龙为自己预备车马, 又派五十人在他前头奔走.

15:2 Absalom used to rise early in the morning, and he stood beside the road at the gate; anyone who had a legal dispute to bring to the king for judgment Absalom would call to him and say, “Where are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”
押沙龙常常早晨起来, 站在城门的道旁, 凡有争讼要去求王判断的, 押沙龙就叫他过来, 问他说: “你是哪一城的人? ”回答说: “仆人是以色列某支派的人. ”

15:3 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case is good and right, but for you there is no hearing with the king.”
押沙龙对他说: “你的事有情有理, 无奈王没有委人听你伸诉. ”

15:4 Then Absalom would say, “Oh, that someone would appoint me as judge in the land, that anyone might come to me who had a legal dispute or a case, and I would give him justice.”
押沙龙又说: “恨不得我作国中的士师! 凡有争讼求审判的到我这里来, 我必秉公判断. ”

15:5 It happened whenever anyone drew near to do obeisance to him, that he would stretch his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.
若有人近前来要拜押沙龙, 押沙龙就伸手拉住他, 与他亲嘴.

15:6 Absalom did like this to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel.
以色列人中, 凡去见王求判断的, 押沙龙都是如此待他们. 这样, 押沙龙暗中得了以色列人的心.

15:7 It happened at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to Yahweh in Hebron,
满了四十年(有作四年的), 押沙龙对王说: “求你准我往希伯仑去, 还我向耶和华所许的愿.

15:8 for your servant made a vow while I was staying in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If Yahweh will indeed let me return to Jerusalem, then I will worship Yahweh.’ ”
因为仆人住在亚兰的基述, 曾许愿说: ‘耶和华若使我再回耶路撒冷, 我必事奉他. ’”

15:9 Then the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he got up and went to Hebron.
王说: “你平平安安地去吧! ”押沙龙就起身, 往希伯仑去了.

15:10 Then Absalom sent scouts throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “When you hear the sound of the trumpet, you shall shout ‘Absalom has become king in Hebron!’ ”
押沙龙打发探子走遍以色列各支派, 说: “你们一听见角声就说: ‘押沙龙在希伯仑作王了! ’”

15:11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom as invited guests, going in their innocence as they did not know anything.
押沙龙在耶路撒冷请了二百人与他同去, 都是诚诚实实去的, 并不知道其中的真情.

15:12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, the advisor of David, from his city Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. The conspiracy grew in strength, and the people were going and increasing with Absalom.
押沙龙献祭的时候, 打发人去将大卫的谋士,基罗人亚希多弗从他本城请了来. 于是叛逆的势派甚大; 因为随从押沙龙的人民, 日渐增多.

15:13 Then the messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.”
有人报告大卫说: “以色列人的心都归向押沙龙了! ”

15:14 Then David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, “Get up and let us flee, for there will be no escape for us from Absalom! Hurry to go, otherwise he will come quickly and overtake us! And he will bring disaster on us and evil! He will attack the city with the edge of the sword!”
大卫就对耶路撒冷跟随他的臣仆说: “我们要起来逃走, 不然都不能躲避押沙龙了; 要速速地去, 恐怕他忽然来到, 加害于我们, 用刀杀尽合城的人. ”

15:15 Then the servants of the king said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king chooses, your servants are ready to act!”
王的臣仆对王说: “我主我王所定的, 仆人都愿遵行. ”

15:16 The king went out with all his household following him, but the king left behind ten concubines to look after the house.
于是王带着全家的人出去了, 但留下十个妃嫔看守宫殿.

15:17 So the king went out with all the people following him, and they stopped at the last house.
王出去, 众民都跟随他, 到伯墨哈, 就住下了.

15:18 All his servants were passing by him: all of the Kerethites and all of the Pelethites and all of the Gittites—six hundred men who had followed him from Gath—passing before the king.
王的臣仆都在他面前过去. 基利提人,比利提人, 就是从迦特跟随王来的六百人, 也都在他面前过去.

15:19 The king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you also coming with us? Return and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner; moreover, you are an exile. You are far from your place.
王对迦特人以太说: “你是外邦逃来的人, 为甚么与我们同去呢? 你可以回去与新王同住, 或者回你本地去吧!

15:20 Yesterday when you came and today, I have caused you to wander by going with us. Now I am going to where I am going; return and let your brothers return. May loyal love and faithfulness be with you.”
你来的日子不多, 我今日怎好叫你与我们一同飘流,没有一定的住处呢? 你不如带你的弟兄回去吧! 愿耶和华用慈爱诚实待你. ”

15:21 But Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives and my lord the king lives, surely in the place wherever my lord the king shall be, if for death or if for life, surely there your servant will be.”
以太对王说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 又敢在王面前起誓: 无论生死, 王在哪里, 仆人也必在那里. ”

15:22 Then David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” So Ittai the Gittite passed over and all his men and all of the little children who were with him.
大卫对以太说: “你前去过河吧! ”于是迦特人以太带着跟随他的人和所有的妇人孩子, 就都过去了.

15:23 All of the land was weeping with a loud voice as all the people were passing by and the king was crossing through the Wadi Kidron, and all the people were passing on the road to the wilderness.
本地的人都放声大哭. 众民尽都过去, 王也过了汲沦溪; 众民往旷野去了.

15:24 Suddenly Zadok was there, and all of the Levites with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. They set the ark of God down, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until all the people passed out of the city.
撒督和抬神约柜的利未人也一同来了, 将神的约柜放下. 亚比亚他上来, 等著众民从城里出来过去.

15:25 The king said to Zadok, “Let the ark of God return to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yawheh, he will let me return and let me see him in his dwelling place.
王对撒督说: “你将神的约柜抬回城去. 我若在耶和华眼前蒙恩, 他必使我回来, 再见约柜和他的居所.

15:26 But if he says, ‘I take no pleasure in you,’ then I am ready. Let him do to me that which is good in his eyes.
倘若他说: ‘我不喜悦你’, 看哪, 我在这里, 愿他凭自己的意旨待我! ”

15:27 Then the king said to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, with Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
王又对祭司撒督说: “你不是先见吗? 你可以安然回城; 你儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单都可以与你同去.

15:28 See, I am waiting at the fords of the wilderness until a word comes from you all to inform me.”
我在旷野的渡口那里等你们报信给我. ”

15:29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and they remained there.
于是撒督和亚比亚他将神的约柜抬回耶路撒冷, 他们就住在那里.

15:30 Now David was going up on the Ascent of the Olives, weeping as he went, with his head covered and going barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered their head and wept as they went.
大卫蒙头赤脚上橄榄山, 一面上一面哭. 跟随他的人也都蒙头哭着上去;

15:31 Now David was told, “Ahithophel was among the conspirators with Absalom.” Then David said, “Please frustrate the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.”
有人告诉大卫说: “亚希多弗也在叛党之中, 随从押沙龙. ”大卫祷告说: “耶和华啊, 求你使亚希多弗的计谋变为愚拙! ”

15:32 It happened that as David was coming up to the summit where he used to worship God, suddenly Hushai the Arkite was there to meet him. His coat was torn and dirt was on his head.
大卫到了山顶,敬拜神的地方, 见亚基人户筛, 衣服撕裂, 头蒙灰尘来迎接他.

15:33 David said to him, “If you move on with me, you will be a burden to me,
大卫对他说: “你若与我同去, 必累赘我;

15:34 but if you want to return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king. I used to be a servant of your father, but from then and now I will be your servant,’ then you can frustrate the counsel of Ahithophel for me.
你若回城去, 对押沙龙说: ‘王啊, 我愿作你的仆人; 我向来作你父亲的仆人, 现在我也照样作你的仆人. ’这样, 你就可以为我破坏亚希多弗的计谋.

15:35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be with you there? It shall be that all the words you hear from the house of the king you shall tell Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
祭司撒督和亚比亚他岂不都在那里吗? 你在王宫里听见甚么, 就要告诉祭司撒督和亚比亚他.

15:36 Look, there with them are their two sons, Ahimaaz of Zadok and Jonathan of Abiathar. You shall send to me by means of them all the words that you hear.”
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯, 亚比亚他的儿子约拿单, 也都在那里. 凡你们所听见的可以托这二人来报告我. ”

15:37 So Hushai the friend of David came to the city as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
于是, 大卫的朋友户筛进了城; 押沙龙也进了耶路撒冷.

II Samuel - Chapter 16

16:1 Now David passed a little from beyond the summit, and suddenly Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him with a pair of saddled donkeys; on them were two hundred loaves of bread and a hundred raisin cakes, with a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.
大卫刚过山顶, 见米非波设的仆人洗巴拉着备好了的两匹驴, 驴上驮著二百面饼, 一百葡萄饼, 一百个夏天的果饼, 一皮袋酒来迎接他.

16:2 The king said to Ziba, “What do you want to accomplish by bringing these?” And Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; the bread and the summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for the faint in the wilderness to drink.
王问洗巴说: “你带这些来是甚么意思呢? ”洗巴说: “驴是给王的家眷骑的; 面饼和夏天的果饼是给少年人吃的; 酒是给在旷野疲乏人喝的. ”

16:3 Then the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba said to the king, “He is living in Jerusalem for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel shall return the kingdom of my father to me.’ ”
王问说: “你主人的儿子在哪里呢? ”洗巴回答王说: “他仍在耶路撒冷, 因他说: ‘以色列人今日必将我父的国归还我. ’”

16:4 The king said to Ziba, “Look, all that was Mephibosheth’s is yours.” Ziba said, “I hereby do obeisance; may I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
王对洗巴说: “凡属米非波设的都归你了. ”洗巴说: “我叩拜我主我王, 愿我在你眼前蒙恩. ”

16:5 King David came up to Bahurim and suddenly a man from there was coming out from the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei the son of Gera. He was cursing as he came out.
大卫王到了巴户琳, 见有一个人出来, 是扫罗族基拉的儿子, 名叫示每. 他一面走一面咒骂,

16:6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David and at all the people and at all the mighty warriors on his right and on his left.
又拿石头砍大卫王和王的臣仆; 众民和勇士都在王的左右.

16:7 Shimei said while cursing him, “Go out, go out, you man of bloodshed, you man of wickedness.
示每咒骂说: “你这流人血的坏人哪, 去吧去吧!

16:8 Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the household of Saul whom you have supplanted as king, and Yahweh has given the kingship into the hand of Absalom your son. Look, you are in disaster for you are a man of blood.”
你流扫罗全家的血, 接续他作王; 耶和华把这罪归在你身上, 将这国交给你儿子押沙龙. 现在你自取其祸, 因为你是流人血的人. ”

16:9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛对王说: “这死狗岂可咒骂我主我王呢? 求你容我过去, 割下他的头来. ”

16:10 The king said, “What do we have in common, sons of Zeruiah? If he curses because Yahweh has said to him ‘Curse David,’ who can say, “Why have you done this?”
王说: “洗鲁雅的儿子, 我与你们有何关涉呢? 他咒骂是因耶和华吩咐他说: ‘你要咒骂大卫. ’如此, 谁敢说你为甚么这样行呢? ”

16:11 David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Look, my son who came out of my loins is seeking my life. Now as far as this Benjaminite, leave him alone and let him curse, for Yahweh has spoken to him.
大卫又对亚比筛和众臣仆说: “我亲生的儿子尚且寻索我的性命, 何况这便雅悯人呢? 由他咒骂吧! 因为这是耶和华吩咐他的.

16:12 Perhaps Yahweh will look in my eye and repay good for me in place of his curse this day.
或者耶和华见我遭难, 为我今日被这人咒骂, 就施恩与我. ”

16:13 Then David and his men went on the road, with Shimei going on the side of the hill beside him, cursing as he went. He threw stones beside him and threw dust in the air.
于是大卫和跟随他的人往前行走. 示每在大卫对面山坡, 一面行走一面咒骂, 又拿石头砍他, 拿土扬他.

16:14 When the king and all of the people who were with him arrived, he was weary, so he recovered there.
王和跟随他的众人疲疲乏乏地到了一个地方, 就在那里歇息歇息.

16:15 Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, had come to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
押沙龙和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷; 亚希多弗也与他同来.

16:16 When Hushai the Arkite the friend of David came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king, long live the king!”
大卫的朋友亚基人户筛去见押沙龙, 对他说: “愿王万岁! 愿王万岁! ”

16:17 Absalom said to Hushai, “This is your loyal love with your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
押沙龙问户筛说: “这是你恩待朋友吗? 为甚么不与你的朋友同去呢? ”

16:18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “No, rather, whom Yahweh and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, to him I will be, and with him I will remain.
户筛对押沙龙说: “不然, 耶和华和这民, 并以色列众人所拣选的, 我必归顺他, 与他同住.

16:19 Furthermore, for whom have I served? Is it not in the presence of his son that I have served before your father? So shall I serve you!”
再者, 我当服事谁呢? 岂不是前王的儿子吗? 我怎样服事你父亲, 也必照样服事你. ”

16:20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your advice. What shall we do?”
押沙龙对亚希多弗说: “你们出个主意, 我们怎样行才好? ”

16:21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go to the concubines of your father whom he left behind to watch over the house, then all of Israel will hear that you made yourself odious to your father, and all of your followers will be motivated!”
亚希多弗对押沙龙说: “你父所留下看守宫殿的妃嫔, 你可以与她们亲近. 以色列众人听见你父亲憎恶你, 凡归顺你人的手就更坚强. ”

16:22 Then they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he went in to the concubines of his father before the eyes of all Israel.
于是人为押沙龙在宫殿的平顶上支搭帐棚; 押沙龙在以色列众人眼前, 与他父的妃嫔亲近.

16:23 The counsel that Ahithophel gave in those days was regarded as when a man inquired of the word of God, so all the counsel of Ahithophel was esteemed both by David and by Absalom.
那时亚希多弗所出的主意好像人问神的话一样; 他昔日给大卫, 今日给押沙龙所出的主意, 都是这样.

II Samuel - Chapter 17

17:1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will set out and pursue after David tonight.
亚希多弗又对押沙龙说: “求你准我挑选一万二千人, 今夜我就起身追赶大卫,

17:2 I will come upon him while he is weary and weak. I will startle him, and all of the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king while he is alone.
趁他疲乏手软, 我忽然追上他, 使他惊惶; 跟随他的民必都逃跑, 我就单杀王一人,

17:3 Then I will return all the people to you; when all have returned, the man whom you are seeking will be dead, but all the people will be safe.”
使众民都归顺你. 你所寻找的人既然死了, 众民就如已经归顺你; 这样, 也都平安无事了. ”

17:4 The word was right in the eyes of Absalom and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
押沙龙和以色列的长老都以这话为美.

17:5 Then Absalom said, “Please call also for Hushai the Arkite, and let us hear what he has to say also.”
押沙龙说: “要召亚基人户筛来, 我们也要听他怎样说. ”

17:6 So Hushai came to Absalom, who said to him, “Shall we do according to this word that Ahithophel has spoken? If not, then you tell us.”
户筛到了押沙龙面前, 押沙龙向他说: “亚希多弗是如此如此说的, 我们照着他的话行可以不可以? 若不可, 你就说吧! ”

17:7 Then Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel gave is not good at this time.”
户筛对押沙龙说: “亚希多弗这次所定的谋不善. ”

17:8 Hushai continued, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty warriors and they are enraged as a bear robbed of her offspring in the field. Your father is a man of war, so he will not spend the night with the troops.
户筛又说: “你知道, 你父亲和跟随他的人都是勇士, 现在他们心里恼怒, 如同田野丢崽子的母熊一般, 而且你父亲是个战士, 必不和民一同住宿.

17:9 Now he has hidden himself in one of the caves or in one of the places. At the moment he falls on them the first time, whoever hears the report will say, ‘There has been a defeat among the people who follow after Absalom.’
他现今或藏在坑中或在别处, 若有人首先被杀, 凡听见的必说: ‘跟随押沙龙的民被杀了. ’

17:10 And he is also a valiant warrior, whose heart is like the heart of the lion. He will certainly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty warrior and those who are with him are valiant warriors.
虽有人胆大如狮子, 他的心也必消化; 因为以色列人都知道你父亲是英雄, 跟随他的人也都是勇士.

17:11 I give the advice that all of Israel from Dan to Beersheba should be completely gathered to you, as the sand which is on the seashore for abundance, with you personally going into the battle.
依我之计, 不如将以色列众人─从但直到别是巴, 如同海边的沙那样多─聚集到你这里来, 你也亲自率领他们出战.

17:12 Then we will come to him in one of the places where he may be found, and we shall come upon him as the dew falls on the ground. He and all the men who are with him will not survive, not even one!
这样, 我们在何处遇见他, 就下到他那里, 如同露水下在地上一般, 连他带跟随他的人, 一个也不留下.

17:13 Even if he withdraws to a city, all Israel will bring up ropes to that city, and they will drag him away to the valley until there is not even a pebble to be found.”
他若进了哪一座城, 以色列众人必带绳子去, 将那城拉到河里, 甚至连一块小石头都不剩下. ”

17:14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Arkite is better than the advice of Ahithophel.” (Now Yahweh had ordained to frustrate the good counsel of Ahithophel in order for Yahweh to bring misery upon Absalom).
押沙龙和以色列众人说: “亚基人户筛的计谋比亚希多弗的计谋更好! ”这是因耶和华定意破坏亚希多弗的良谋, 为要降祸与押沙龙.

17:15 Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, but thus and so I have advised.
户筛对祭司撒督和亚比亚他说: “亚希多弗为押沙龙和以色列的长老所定的计谋是如此如此, 我所定的计谋是如此如此.

17:16 So then, send quickly and tell David, ‘Don’t spend the night at the fords of the wilderness! Moreover, by all means cross over lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’ ”
现在你们要急速打发人去, 告诉大卫说: ‘今夜不可住在旷野的渡口, 务要过河, 免得王和跟随他的人都被吞灭. ’”

17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel, so a servant girl used to go and tell them, then they would go and tell King David, for they were not able to be seen coming to the city.
那时, 约拿单和亚希玛斯在隐‧罗结那里等候, 不敢进城, 恐怕被人看见. 有一个使女出来, 将这话告诉他们, 他们就去报信给大卫王.

17:18 But a young man saw them and told Absalom, so both of them went quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim. Now he had a well in his courtyard, so they went down there.
然而有一个童子看见他们, 就去告诉押沙龙. 他们急忙跑到巴户琳某人的家里; 那人院中有一口井, 他们就下到井里.

17:19 Then the woman took and spread a covering over the opening of the well; then she spread out dried grain on it, so nothing was discovered.
那家的妇人用盖盖上井口, 又在上头铺上碎麦, 事就没有泄漏.

17:20 When the servants of Absalom came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And she said to them, “They crossed over the brook of water.” So they searched but could not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.
押沙龙的仆人来到那家, 问妇人说: “亚希玛斯和约拿单在哪里? ”妇人说: “他们过了河了. ”仆人找他们, 找不著, 就回耶路撒冷去了.

17:21 After they left, they came up from the well and went and told King David. They said to David, “Set out and cross over the water quickly, for thus Ahithophel has advised against you.”
他们走后, 二人从井里上来, 去告诉大卫王说: “亚希多弗如此如此定计害你, 你们务要起来, 快快过河. ”

17:22 So David and all the people who were with him set out, and they crossed over the Jordan until morning light until there was no one missing who had not crossed over the Jordan.
于是大卫和跟随他的人都起来, 过约旦河. 到了天亮, 无一人不过约旦河的.

17:23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled the donkey, and he set out and went up to his house in his city. After he set his house in order, he hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his ancestors.
亚希多弗见不依从他的计谋, 就备上驴, 归回本城; 到了家, 留下遗言, 便吊死了, 葬在他父亲的坟墓里.

17:24 Now David had come to Mahanaim, and Absalom had crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
大卫到了玛哈念, 押沙龙和跟随他的以色列人也都过了约旦河.

17:25 Absalom had appointed Amasa in place of Joab over the army. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Nahash the sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.
押沙龙立亚玛撒作元帅, 代替约押. 亚玛撒是以实玛利人(又作以色列人)以特拉的儿子. 以特拉曾与拿辖的女儿亚比该亲近; 这亚比该与约押的母亲洗鲁雅是姊妹.

17:26 Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
押沙龙和以色列人都安营在基列地.

17:27 Just as David had arrived in Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites and Makir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim
大卫到了玛哈念, 亚扪族的拉巴人拿辖的儿子朔比, 罗‧底巴人亚‧米利的儿子玛吉, 基列的罗基琳人巴西莱,

17:28 brought beds and basins and objects of pottery, as well as wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
带着被,褥,盆,碗,瓦器,小麦,大麦,麦面,炒谷,豆子,红豆,炒豆,

17:29 honey, curds, sheep, cheese, and cattle for David and for the people who were with him to eat. For they had thought, “The troops are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
蜂蜜,奶油,绵羊,奶饼, 供给大卫和跟随他的人吃; 他们说: “民在旷野, 必饥渴困乏了. ”

II Samuel - Chapter 18

18:1 Then David mustered the people who were with him, and he appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
大卫数点跟随他的人, 立千夫长,百夫长率领他们.

18:2 David sent forth a third of the troops under the command of Joab, and a third under the command of Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the remaining third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the troops, “I, even I, will certainly go out with you.”
大卫打发军兵出战, 分为三队: 一队在约押手下, 一队在洗鲁雅的儿子,约押兄弟亚比筛手下, 一队在迦特人以太手下. 大卫对军兵说: “我必与你们一同出战. ”

18:3 Then the troops said, “You will not go out, for if we must flee, then they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us, but now, you are like ten thousand of us. And so then, it is better for us that you be in the city to help.”
军兵却说: “你不可出战. 若是我们逃跑, 敌人必不介意; 我们阵亡一半, 敌人也不介意. 因为你一人强似我们万人, 你不如在城里预备帮助我们. ”

18:4 The king said to them, “I will do what seems good in your eyes.” So the king stood at the side of the gate while all of the troops went out by hundreds and by thousands.
王向他们说: “你们以为怎样好, 我就怎样行. ”于是王站在城门旁, 军兵或百或千地挨次出去了.

18:5 The king ordered Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “With respect to the young man Absalom, deal gently for me.” And all the troops heard when the king ordered all of the commanders concerning the matter of Absalom.
王嘱咐约押,亚比筛,以太说: “你们要为我的缘故宽待那少年人押沙龙. ”王为押沙龙嘱咐众将的话, 兵都听见了.

18:6 The army went out to the field to meet Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim.
兵就出到田野迎著以色列人, 在以法莲树林里交战.

18:7 The army of Israel was defeated there before the servants of David, and the defeat there was great on that day: twenty thousand.
以色列人败在大卫的仆人面前; 那日阵亡的甚多, 共有二万人.

18:8 The battle there was spreading over the surface of all the land, and the forest devoured more among the army than the sword did on that day.
因为在那里四面打仗, 死于树林的比死于刀剑的更多.

18:9 Absalom was found in the presence of the servants of David as he was riding on the mule. The mule went under the thicket of the great oak tree, and his head was caught in the tree. He was left hanging between heaven and earth, and the mule which was under him went on.
押沙龙偶然遇见大卫的仆人. 押沙龙骑著骡子, 从大橡树密枝底下经过, 他的头发被树枝绕住, 就悬挂起来, 所骑的骡子便离他去了.

18:10 When a certain man saw it, he told Joab, and he said, “Look, I saw Absalom hanging in the oak tree!”
有个人看见, 就告诉约押说: “我看见押沙龙挂在橡树上了. ”

18:11 Then Joab said to the man who was telling him, “Look, if you saw, why did you not strike him down to the ground there? I would have gladly given you ten pieces of silver and a leather belt.”
约押对报信的人说: “你既看见他, 为甚么不将他打死落在地上呢? 你若打死他, 我就赏你十舍客勒银子, 一条带子. ”

18:12 The man said to Joab, “Even if I felt the weight of a thousand pieces of silver in my palms, I would not have sent my hand against the son of the king, for in our ears the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Whoever you may be, protect the young man Absalom.’
那人对约押说: “我就是得你一千舍客勒银子, 我也不敢伸手害王的儿子; 因为我们听见王嘱咐你和亚比筛并以太说: ‘你们要谨慎, 不可害那少年人押沙龙. ’

18:13 If I had dealt treacherously against his life, and there is not any matter hidden from the king, you would have presented yourself aloof.”
我若妄为害了他的性命, 就是你自己也必与我为敌(原来, 无论何事都瞒不过王. )”

18:14 Joab said, “No longer will I wait in your presence.” Then he took three spears in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak tree.
约押说: “我不能与你留连. ”约押手拿三杆短枪, 趁押沙龙在橡树上还活着, 就刺透他的心.

18:15 Then ten of the young men who bore the weapons of Joab surrounded him and struck and killed Absalom.
给约押拿兵器的十个少年人围绕押沙龙, 将他杀死.

18:16 Then Joab blew on the trumpet and the troops returned from pursuing after Israel, for Joab kept back the troops.
约押吹角, 拦阻众人, 他们就回来, 不再追赶以色列人.

18:17 They took Absalom and they threw him into the large pit in the forest and raised a very great heap of stones over him. Then all of Israel fled, each to his tent.
他们将押沙龙丢在林中一个大坑里, 上头堆起一大堆石头. 以色列众人都逃跑, 各回各家去了.

18:18 (Now Absalom had taken and set up for himself in his lifetime a stone pillar that is in the valley of the king, because he said, “I have no son in order to remember my name,” and he called the stone pillar by his name. It is called the monument of Absalom until this day).
押沙龙活着的时候, 在王谷立了一根石柱, 因他说: “我没有儿子为我留名. ”他就以自己的名称那石柱叫押沙龙柱, 直到今日.

18:19 Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and bring the good news to the king that Yahweh has vindicated him from the hand of his enemies.”
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯说: “容我跑去, 将耶和华向仇敌给王报仇的信息报与王知. ”

18:20 Joab said to him, “You will not be a man bringing good news this day! You may bring good news on another day, but today you will not be bringing good news because the king’s son is dead.”
约押对他说: “你今日不可去报信, 改日可以报信; 因为今日王的儿子死了, 所以你不可去报信. ”

18:21 Then Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen”; then the Cushite bowed down to Joab and ran off.
约押对古示人说: “你去将你所看见的告诉王. ”古示人在约押面前下拜, 就跑去了.

18:22 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok again said to Joab, “Come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.” Joab asked, “Why are you wanting to run, my son, when for you there is no messenger’s reward?”
撒督的儿子亚希玛斯又对约押说: “无论怎样, 求你容我随着古示人跑去. ”约押说: “我儿, 你报这信息, 既不得赏赐, 何必要跑去呢? ”

18:23 “Come what may, I want to run.” He said to him, “Run,” so Ahimaaz ran on the road on the plain, and he passed the Cushite.
他又说: “无论怎样, 我要跑去. ”约押说: “你跑去吧! ”亚希玛斯就从平原往前跑, 跑过古示人去了.

18:24 Now David was sitting between the two gates, and the sentinel went up to the roof of the gate by the wall and he lifted up his eyes and watched, and look, a man was running by himself.
大卫正坐在城瓮里. 守望的人上城门楼的顶上, 举目观看, 见有一个人独自跑来.

18:25 The sentry called and told the king, and the king said, “If he is alone, good news is in his mouth.” He kept coming closer.
守望的人就大声告诉王. 王说: “他若独自来, 必是报口信的. ”那人跑得渐渐近了.

18:26 Then the sentinel saw another man running, so the sentinel called to the gatekeeper and said, “Look, a man running alone.” The king said, “This one also is bringing good news.”
守望的人又见一人跑来, 就对守城门的人说: “又有一人独自跑来. ”王说: “这也必是报信的. ”

18:27 The sentinel said, “I am seeing that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zakok.” The king said, “He is a good man; he will come, for good news.”
守望的人说: “我看前头人的跑法, 好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样. ”王说: “他是个好人, 必是报好信息. ”

18:28 Then Ahimaaz called and said to the king, “Peace.” He bowed down to the king with his face to the ground, and he said, “May Yahweh your God be blessed, who has delivered the men who raised their hand against my lord the king.”
亚希玛斯向王呼叫说: “平安了! ”就在王面前脸伏于地叩拜, 说: “耶和华─你的神是应当称颂的, 因他已将那举手攻击我主我王的人交给王了. ”

18:29 The king said, “Is it peace for the young man Absalom?” Ahimaaz said, “I saw the great commotion when Joab the servant of the king sent your servant, but I do not know what it was all about.”
王问说: “少年人押沙龙平安不平安? ”亚希玛斯回答说: “约押打发王的仆人, 那时仆人听见众民大声喧哗, 却不知道是甚么事. ”

18:30 Then the king said, “Turn aside, take your place here,” so he turned aside and waited.
王说: “你退去, 站在旁边. ”他就退去, 站在旁边.

18:31 Suddenly the Cushite arrived and said, “May my lord the king receive the good news, for Yahweh has vindicated you today from the power of all who stood up against you.”
古示人也来到, 说: “有信息报给我主我王! 耶和华今日向一切兴起攻击你的人给你报仇了. ”

18:32 The king said to the Cushite, “Is it peace for the young man Absalom?” Then the Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up against you to harm you be like the young man!”
王问古示人说: “少年人押沙龙平安不平安? ”古示人回答说: “愿我主我王的仇敌, 和一切兴起要杀害你的人, 都与那少年人一样. ”

18:33 The king was upset, and he went up to the upper room of the gate and wept. He said as he went, “My son, Absalom, my son, my son, Absalom. If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son.”
王就心里伤恸, 上城门楼去哀哭, 一面走一面说: “我儿押沙龙啊! 我儿, 我儿押沙龙啊! 我恨不得替你死, 押沙龙啊, 我儿! 我儿! ”

II Samuel - Chapter 19

19:1 And it was told to Joab that the king was weeping and he mourned over Absalom,
有人告诉约押说: “王为押沙龙哭泣悲哀. ”

19:2 so the victory turned to mourning on that day for all the army, because they had heard that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”
众民听说王为他儿子忧愁, 他们得胜的欢乐却变成悲哀.

19:3 The army came secretly into the city on that day because the army was disgraced when they fled in the battle,
那日众民暗暗地进城, 就如败阵逃跑,惭愧的民一般.

19:4 and because the king had covered his face and cried with a loud voice, “My son, Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.”
王蒙著脸, 大声哭号说: “我儿押沙龙啊! 押沙龙, 我儿, 我儿啊! ”

19:5 Then Joab came to the king’s house and said, “Today you have humiliated the faces of all of your servants who have saved your life this day, and the life of your sons and your daughters, the life of your wives, and the life of your concubines,
约押进去见王, 说: “你今日使你一切仆人脸面惭愧了! 他们今日救了你的性命和你儿女妻妾的性命,

19:6 by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. Indeed, you have made clear this day that you have no regard for your commanders or officers, for I have realized today that were Absalom alive, and all of us were dead, then that would have been right in your eyes!
你却爱那恨你的人, 恨那爱你的人. 你今日明明地不以将帅,仆人为念. 我今日看明, 若押沙龙活着, 我们都死亡, 你就喜悦了.

19:7 So then, get up and go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by Yahweh, if you do not go out, no man will lodge this night with you, and this disaster will be greater for you than any disaster that has come upon you from your childhood until now!”
现在你当出去, 安慰你仆人的心. 我指著耶和华起誓: 你若不出去, 今夜必无一人与你同在一处; 这祸患就比你从幼年到如今所遭的更甚! ”

19:8 So the king got up and he sat in the gate, and they told all the army, “Look, the king is sitting in the gate.” Then all the army came before the king; whereas all of Israel had fled, each to his tent.
于是王起来, 坐在城门口. 众民听说王坐在城门口, 就都到王面前. 以色列人已经逃跑, 各回各家去了.

19:9 Then it happened that all the people were disputing among all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies, and he saved us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.
以色列众支派的人纷纷议论说: “王曾救我们脱离仇敌的手, 又救我们脱离非利士人的手, 现在他躲避押沙龙逃走了.

19:10 Now Absalom whom we anointed as king over us has died in the battle; so then, why are you taking no action to restore the king?”
我们膏押沙龙治理我们, 他已经阵亡. 现在为甚么不出一言请王回来呢? ”

19:11 Then King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah: ‘Why are you last to bring back the king to his house? The talk of all Israel has come to the king in his house.
大卫王差人去见祭司撒督和亚比亚他, 说: “你们当向犹大长老说: ‘以色列众人已经有话请王回宫, 你们为甚么落在他们后头呢?

19:12 My brothers, you are my bones and you are my flesh. Why should you be the last to bring back the king?’
你们是我的弟兄, 是我的骨肉, 为甚么在人后头请王回来呢? ’

19:13 To Amasa you shall say: ‘Are you not my bones and my flesh? May God punish me if you are not the commander of my army before me forever, in place of Joab.’ ”
也要对亚玛撒说: ‘你不是我的骨肉吗? 我若不立你替约押常作元帅, 愿神重重地降罚与我! ’”

19:14 So he turned the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they sent word to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
如此就挽回犹大众人的心, 如同一人的心. 他们便打发人去见王, 说: “请王和王的一切臣仆回来. ”

19:15 Then the king returned and he came to the Jordan; Judah had come to Gilgal to come to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
王就回来, 到了约旦河. 犹大人来到吉甲, 要去迎接王, 请他过约旦河.

19:16 Then Shimei the son of Gera, the son of the Benjaminite, who was from Bahurim quickly came down with the men of Judah to meet King David,
巴户琳的便雅悯人,基拉的儿子示每急忙与犹大人一同下去迎接大卫王.

19:17 and a thousand men were with him from Benjamin. Too, Ziba the servant of the household of Saul and fifteen of his sons and twenty of his servants were with him, and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.
跟从示每的有一千便雅悯人, 还有扫罗家的仆人洗巴和他十五个儿子, 二十个仆人; 他们都逿过约旦河迎接王.

19:18 The crossing took place to bring the household of the king over and to do good in his eyes. Then Shimei the son of Gera fell before the king when he crossed over the Jordan,
有摆渡船过去, 渡王的家眷, 任王使用. 王要过约旦河的时候, 基拉的儿子示每就俯伏在王面前,

19:19 and he said to the king, “May not my lord hold me guilty, and may you not remember how your servant did wrong on the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem, by taking it to heart!
对王说: “我主我王出耶路撒冷的时候, 仆人行悖逆的事, 现在求我主不要因此加罪与仆人, 不要记念, 也不要放在心上.

19:20 For your servant knows that I have sinned; look, I have come this day as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
仆人明知自己有罪, 所以约瑟全家之中, 今日我首先下来迎接我主我王. ”

19:21 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah responded and said, “Because of this, should not Shimei be put to death, for he cursed the anointed one of Yahweh?”
洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛说: “示每既咒骂耶和华的受膏者, 不应当治死他吗? ”

19:22 Then David said, “What is it to me or to you, sons of Zeruiah, that you should be an adversary today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel? Do I not know today that I am king over Israel?”
大卫说: “洗鲁雅的儿子, 我与你们有何关涉, 使你们今日与我反对呢? 今日在以色列中岂可治死人呢? 我岂不知今日我作以色列的王吗? ”

19:23 Then the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die,” and so the king swore to him.
于是王对示每说: “你必不死. ”王就向他起誓.

19:24 Now, Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; he had not taken care of his feet nor trimmed his moustache nor washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he came back in peace.
扫罗的孙子米非波设也下去迎接王. 他自从王去的日子, 直到王平平安安地回来, 没有修脚, 没有剃胡须, 也没有洗衣服.

19:25 It happened that when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?”
他来到耶路撒冷迎接王的时候, 王问他说: “米非波设, 你为甚么没有与我同去呢? ”

19:26 Then he said, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me, for your servant had said, ‘Let me saddle the donkey that I may ride on her and go with the king,’ for your servant is lame.
他回答说: “我主我王, 仆人是瘸腿的. 那日我想要备驴骑上, 与王同去, 无奈我的仆人欺哄了我,

19:27 But he slandered against your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like the angel of God; do as you see fit..”
又在我主我王面前谗毁我. 然而我主我王如同神的使者一般, 你看怎样好, 就怎样行吧!

19:28 For there was no one in all the house of my father who were not doomed to death before my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. Do I have any righteousness any longer except to cry out to the king?”
因为我祖全家的人, 在我主我王面前都算为死人, 王却使仆人在王的席上同人吃饭, 我现在向王还能辨理诉冤吗? ”

19:29 Then the king said to him, “Why should you speak any more about the matter? I have decided: you and Ziba shall divide the land.”
王对他说: “你何必再提你的事呢? 我说, 你与洗巴均分地土. ”

19:30 Then Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him take the whole thing, since my lord the king has come safely to his house.”
米非波设对王说: “我主我王既平平安安地回宫, 就任凭洗巴都取了也可以. ”

19:31 Then Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and crossed with the king over the Jordan to escort him through the Jordan.
基列人巴西莱从罗基琳下来, 要送王过约旦河, 就与王一同过了约旦河.

19:32 Now Barzillai was very old, eighty years old. Now he had provided the king with food while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.
巴西莱年纪老迈, 已经八十岁了. 王住在玛哈念的时候, 他就拿食物来供给王; 他原是大富户.

19:33 The king said to Barzillai, “You cross over with me, and I will provide for you to dwell with me in Jerusalem.”
王对巴西莱说: “你与我同去, 我要在耶路撒冷那里养你的老. ”

19:34 Then Barzillai said to the king, “What are the days of the years of my life, that I should go with the king to Jerusalem?
巴西莱对王说: “我在世的年日还能有多少, 使我与王同上耶路撒冷呢?

19:35 I am eighty years old today. Can I discern between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be a burden any longer to my lord the king?
仆人现在八十岁了, 还能尝出饮食的滋味,辨别美恶吗? 还能听男女歌唱的声音吗? 仆人何必累赘我主我王呢?

19:36 Your servant shall go over the Jordan with the king a little way, but why should the king recompense me with this reward?
仆人只要送王过约旦河, 王何必赐我这样的恩典呢?

19:37 Please let your servant return, and let me die in my city in the tomb of my father and my mother. Here is your servant Kimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him that which is good in your eyes.”
求你准我回去, 好死在我本城, 葬在我父母的墓旁. 这里有王的仆人金罕, 让他同我主我王过去, 可以随意待他. ”

19:38 The king said, “Let Kimham go over with me, and I will do for him the good in your eyes, and all that you desire of me I will do for you.”
王说: “金罕可以与我同去, 我必照你的心愿待他. 你向我求甚么, 我都必为你成就. ”

19:39 Then all the people crossed over the Jordan, and the king crossed and kissed Barzillai and blessed him; then he returned to his place.
于是众民过约旦河, 王也过去. 王与巴西莱亲嘴, 为他祝福, 巴西莱就回本地去了.

19:40 The king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah went over with the king, and half of the people of Israel too.
王过去, 到了吉甲, 金罕也跟他过去. 犹大众民和以色列民的一半也都送王过去.

19:41 Suddenly, all the men of Israel were coming to the king. They said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen away and brought the king and his household over the Jordan, with all the men of David?”
以色列众人来见王, 对他说: “我们弟兄犹大人为甚么暗暗送王和王的家眷, 并跟随王的人过约旦河? ”

19:42 Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is my close relative! Why are you this angry over this matter? Have we by any means eaten anything from the king? Did we take by any means anything that was not ours?”
犹大众人回答以色列人说: “因为王与我们是亲属, 你们为何因这事发怒呢? 我们吃了王的甚么呢? 王赏赐了我们甚么呢? ”

19:43 Then the people of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, “I have ten times as much in the king, moreover in David I have more than you. Why did you treat me with contempt by not giving me first chance to bring back my king?” But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the word of the men of Israel.
以色列人回答犹大人说: “按支派, 我们与王有十分的情分; 在大卫身上, 我们也比你们更有情分. 你们为何藐视我们, 请王回来不先与我们商量呢? ”但犹大人的话比以色列人的话更硬.

II Samuel - Chapter 20

20:1 Now a man of wickedness was found there whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite. He blew the horn and said, “There is no share for us in David, and there is no inheritance for us in the son of Jesse; each to his tents, O Israel!”
在那里恰巧有一个匪徒, 名叫示巴, 是便雅悯人比基利的儿子. 他吹角, 说: “我们与大卫无分, 与耶西的儿子无涉. 以色列人哪, 你们各回各家去吧! ”

20:2 Then all the men of Israel went up from following after David, following instead after Sheba the son of Bicri, but the men of Judah stuck to their king from the Jordan up to Jerusalem.
于是以色列人都离开大卫, 跟随比基利的儿子示巴. 但犹大人从约旦河直到耶路撒冷, 都紧紧跟随他们的王.

20:3 David went up to his house in Jerusalem, then the king took the ten concubines whom he had left to look after the house, and he put them under confinement. However, he provided for them, but he did not sleep with them. So they were confined until the day of their death, like a lifetime of widowhood.
大卫王来到耶路撒冷, 进了宫殿, 就把从前留下看守宫殿的十个妃嫔禁闭在冷宫, 养活她们, 不与她们亲近. 她们如同寡妇被禁, 直到死的日子.

20:4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon for me the men of Judah within three days, and be here yourself.”
王对亚玛撒说: “你要在三日之内将犹大人招聚了来, 你也回到这里来. ”

20:5 So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he tarried more than the appointed time which he had set for him.
亚玛撒就去招聚犹大人, 却耽延过了王所限的日期.

20:6 Then David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bicri will do us more harm than Absalom. You take the servants of your lord and pursue after him, lest he find fortified cities for himself and escape from us.”
大卫对亚比筛说: “现在恐怕比基利的儿子示巴加害于我们比押沙龙更甚. 你要带领你主的仆人追赶他, 免得他得了坚固城, 躲避我们. ”

20:7 Then the men of Joab, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty warriors went out after him; they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba the son of Bicri.
约押的人和基利提人,比利提人, 并所有的勇士, 都跟着亚比筛, 从耶路撒冷出去追赶比基利的儿子示巴.

20:8 They were near the big rock that is in Gibeon, and Amasa came before them. Joab was dressed in his military clothing, with a utility belt on him and a sword strapped to his waist in its scabbard. Now he went out, and it fell out.
他们到了基遍的大磐石那里, 亚玛撒来迎接他们. 那时约押穿着战衣, 腰束佩刀的带子, 刀在鞘内; 约押前行, 刀从鞘内掉出来.

20:9 Then Joab said to Amasa, “Is it peace, O you my brother?” Then the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amasa as if to kiss him.
约押左手拾起刀来, 对亚玛撒说: “我兄弟, 你好啊! ”就用右手抓住亚玛撒的胡子, 要与他亲嘴.

20:10 Now Amasa was not on his guard against the sword that was in Joab’s hand, and he struck him with it into the stomach, and his entrails poured out to the ground. He did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bicri.
亚玛撒没有防备约押手里所拿的刀; 约押用刀刺入他的肚腹, 他的肠子流在地上, 没有再刺他, 就死了. 约押和他兄弟亚比筛往前追赶比基利的儿子示巴.

20:11 A young man stood over him, from the young men of Joab, and he said, “Whoever takes delight in Joab and whoever is for David, follow after Joab.”
有约押的一个少年人站在亚玛撒尸身旁边, 对众人说: “谁喜悦约押, 谁归顺大卫, 就当跟随约押去. ”

20:12 Now Amasa was wallowing in the blood in the middle of the highway; when the man saw that all the people stood there, he turned Amasa over from the highway into the field, and he threw a garment over him because he had seen that all who had come by him had stopped.
亚玛撒在道路上滚在自己的血里. 那人见众民经过都站住, 就把亚玛撒的尸身从路上挪到田间, 用衣服遮盖.

20:13 After he was removed from the highway, all the men passed by after Joab to pursue after Sheba the son of Bicri.
尸身从路上挪移之后, 众民就都跟随约押去追赶比基利的儿子示巴.

20:14 (He had passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maacah; now all of the Berites had been treated badly, so they also followed after him.)
他走遍以色列各支派, 直到伯‧玛迦的亚比拉, 并比利人的全地; 那些地方的人也都聚集跟随他.

20:15 And they came and besieged him in Abel Beth Maacah. They threw up a siege ramp against the city, and they stood against the ramparts. And all the army who were with Joab were battering to cause the wall to fall.
约押和跟随的人到了伯‧玛迦的亚比拉, 围困示巴, 就对着城筑垒; 跟随约押的众民用锤撞城, 要使城塌陷.

20:16 Then a wise woman from the city called out, “Listen, listen! Please speak to Joab to come near here so that I may speak to you.”
有一个聪明妇人从城上呼叫说: “听啊, 听啊, 请约押近前来, 我好与他说话. ”

20:17 Then he came near to her, and the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” And he said, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” He said, “I am listening.”
约押就近前来, 妇人问他说: “你是约押不是? ”他说: “我是. ”妇人说: “求你听婢女的话. ”约押说: “我听. ”

20:18 Then she said, “In former times, they would always say, ‘By all means, let them inquire in Abel,’ and so they settled things.
妇人说: “古时有话说, 当先在亚比拉求问, 然后事就定妥.

20:19 I am one of the faithful representatives of Israel. You are seeking to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow the inheritance of Yahweh?”
我们这城的人在以色列人中是和平,忠厚的. 你为何要毁坏以色列中的大城, 吞灭耶和华的产业呢? ”

20:20 Then Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me that I should swallow or I should destroy.
约押回答说: “我决不吞灭毁坏,

20:21 That is not the matter. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name is Sheba the son Bicri, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Give only him to us, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Look, his head is being thrown down to you over the wall.”
乃因以法莲山地的一个人─比基利的儿子示巴─举手攻击大卫王, 你们若将他一人交出来, 我便离城而去. ”妇人对约押说: “那人的首级必从城墙上丢给你. ”

20:22 The woman went to all of the people with her wise plan, so they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bicri and threw it to Joab. Then he blew the horn and dispersed from the city, each to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
妇人就凭她的智慧去劝众人. 他们便割下比基利的儿子示巴的首级, 丢给约押. 约押吹角, 众人就离城而散, 各归各家去了. 约押回耶路撒冷, 到王那里.

20:23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Carites and over the Pelethites.
约押作以色列全军的元帅; 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统辖基利提人和比利提人;

20:24 Adoram was over the forced labor, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder.
亚多兰掌管服苦的人; 亚希律的儿子约沙法作史官;

20:25 Shiya was secretary, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests.
示法作书记; 撒督和亚比亚他作祭司长;

20:26 Also Ira the Jairite was priest for David.
睚珥人以拉作大卫的宰相.

II Samuel - Chapter 21

21:1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David inquired of Yahweh, and Yahweh said, “The bloodguilt is on Saul and on his household, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
大卫年间有饥荒, 一连三年, 大卫就求问耶和华. 耶和华说: “这饥荒是因扫罗和他流人血之家杀死基遍人. ”

21:2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not from the Israelites; they were from the remainder of the Amorites. Now the Israelites had sworn to them, but Saul tried to wipe them out in his zeal for the Israelites and Judah.
原来这基遍人不是以色列人, 乃是亚摩利人中所剩的; 以色列人曾向他们起誓, 不杀灭他们, 扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心, 想要杀灭他们. 大卫王召了他们来,

21:3 So David asked the Gibeonites, “What can I do for you, and with what can I make amends that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?”
问他们说: “我当为你们怎样行呢? 可用甚么赎这罪, 使你们为耶和华的产业祝福呢? ”

21:4 Then the Gibeonites said to him, “It is not a matter for us of silver or gold with Saul or with his household. It is not for us to put to death anyone in Israel.” He asked, “What are you saying that I should do for you all?”
基遍人回答说: “我们和扫罗与他家的事并不关乎金银, 也不要因我们的缘故杀一个以色列人. ”大卫说: “你们怎样说, 我就为你们怎样行. ”

21:5 Then they said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us so that we were destroyed from existing in all of the territory of Israel,
他们对王说: “那从前谋害我们,要灭我们,使我们不得再住以色列境内的人,

21:6 let seven men from his sons be given over to us, and we will execute them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen one of Yahweh.” Then the king said, “I will give them over.”
现在愿将他的子孙七人交给我们, 我们好在耶和华面前, 将他们悬挂在耶和华拣选扫罗的基比亚. ”王说: “我必交给你们. ”

21:7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the sworn oath of Yahweh which was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
王因为曾与扫罗的儿子约拿单指著耶和华起誓结盟, 就爱惜扫罗的孙子,约拿单的儿子米非波设, 不交出来,

21:8 So the king took two of the sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, namely Armoni and Mephibosheth, and five of the sons of Michal the daughter of Saul whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
却把爱雅的女儿利斯巴给扫罗所生的两个儿子亚摩尼,米非波设, 和扫罗女儿米甲的姊姊给米何拉人巴西莱儿子亚得列所生的五个儿子

21:9 He gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they executed them on the mountain in the presence of Yahweh, and the seven fell together. Now they were put to death in the days of the harvest, at the beginning of the harvest of barley.
交在基遍人的手里. 基遍人就把他们, 在耶和华面前, 悬挂在山上, 这七人就一同死亡. 被杀的时候正是收割的日子, 就是动手割大麦的时候.

21:10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took the sackcloth, and she spread it for herself on the rock at the beginning of the harvest until water gushed forth on them from heaven, but she did not allow the birds of heaven to rest on them by day nor the animals of the field by night.
爱雅的女儿利斯巴用麻布在磐石上搭棚, 从动手收割的时候直到天降雨在尸身上的时候, 日间不容空中的雀鸟落在尸身上, 夜间不让田野的走兽前来糟践.

21:11 David was told about what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
有人将扫罗的妃嫔爱雅女儿利斯巴所行的这事告诉大卫.

21:12 So David left and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the rulers of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines hung them when the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa.
大卫就去, 从基列‧雅比人那里将扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨搬了来(是因非利士人从前在基利波杀扫罗, 将尸身悬挂在伯‧珊的街市上, 基列‧雅比人把尸身偷了去. )

21:13 He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of the executed.
大卫将扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨从那里搬了来, 又收殓被悬挂七人的骸骨,

21:14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin at Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They did all that the king had commanded, and afterward God was entreated for the land.
将扫罗和他儿子约拿单的骸骨葬在便雅悯的洗拉, 在扫罗父亲基士的坟墓里; 众人行了王所吩咐的. 此后神垂听国民所求的.

21:15 There was war again for the Philistines with Israel, and David and his servants with him went down, and they fought the Philistines, and David grew weary.
非利士人与以色列人打仗; 大卫带领仆人下去, 与非利士人接战, 大卫就疲乏了.

21:16 Now Yishbi in Nob, who was among the descendents of Raphah (now the weight of his spearhead was three hundredweight of bronze, and he was newly armed), said that he would kill David.
伟人的一个儿子以实‧比诺要杀大卫; 他的铜枪重三百舍客勒, 又佩著新刀.

21:17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and he attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall not go out with us any longer to the battle, so that you do not quench the lamp of Israel.”
但洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛帮助大卫, 攻打非利士人, 将他杀死. 当日, 跟随大卫的人向大卫起誓说: “以后你不可再与我们一同出战, 恐怕熄灭以色列的灯. ”

21:18 It happened afterward that there was again battle at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph who was among the descendants of the Raphah.
后来, 以色列人在歌伯与非利士人打仗, 户沙人西比该杀了伟人的一个儿子撒弗.

21:19 There was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim, the Bethlehemite, killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam of a weaver.
又在歌伯与非利士人打仗, 伯利恒人雅雷俄珥金的儿子伊勒哈难杀了迦特人歌利亚. 这人的枪杆粗如织布的机轴.

21:20 Once again there was battle at Gath, and there was a man of great size. The fingers of his hand and the toes of his feet were six and six, twenty-four in number. He was also born to the Raphah.
又在迦特打仗, 那里有一个身量高大的人, 手脚都是六指, 共有二十四个指头; 他也是伟人的儿子.

21:21 He taunted Israel but Jonathan the son of Shimei, the brother of David, killed him.
这人向以色列人骂阵, 大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单就杀了他.

21:22 These four were born for the Raphah in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
这四个人是迦特伟人的儿子, 都死在大卫和他仆人的手下.

II Samuel - Chapter 22

22:1 Then David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song, on the day Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
当耶和华救大卫脱离一切仇敌和扫罗之手的日子, 他向耶和华念这诗,

22:2 And he said: “Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
说: 耶和华是我的岩石, 我的山寨, 我的救主,

22:3 I take refuge in God, my rock, my shield, and the strength of my salvation. My stronghold and my refuge, O my savior, you will save me from violence!
我的神, 我的磐石, 我所投靠的. 他是我的盾牌, 是拯救我的角, 是我的高台, 是我的避难所. 我的救主啊, 你是救我脱离强暴的.

22:4 I call upon Yahweh who is praiseworthy, and I am saved from those who hate me.
我要求告当赞美的耶和华, 这样, 我必从仇敌手中被救出来.

22:5 For the breaker waves of death engulfed me; the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.
曾有死亡的波浪环绕我, 匪类的急流使我惊惧,

22:6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
阴间的绳索缠绕我, 死亡的网罗临到我.

22:7 In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and to my God I called. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help was to his ears.
我在急难中求告耶和华, 向我的神呼求. 他从殿中听了我的声音; 我的呼求入了他的耳中.

22:8 The earth heaved and shook, the foundations of heaven trembled and heaved because he was angry.
那时因他发怒, 地就摇撼战抖; 天的根基也震动摇撼.

22:9 Smoke went up from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. Burning coals devoured, they burned from him.
从他鼻孔冒烟上腾; 从他口中发火焚烧, 连炭也著了.

22:10 He bowed the heavens and came down; a very thick cloud was under his feet.
他又使天下垂, 亲自降临; 有黑云在他脚下.

22:11 He rode upon a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind.
他坐著基路伯飞行, 在风的翅膀上显现.

22:12 He put darkness as a canopy all around him, a collection of thick rain clouds.
他以黑暗和聚集的水,天空的厚云为他四围的行宫.

22:13 From the brightness before him flamed burning coals of fire.
因他面前的光辉炭都著了.

22:14 Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
耶和华从天上打雷; 至高者发出声音.

22:15 He sent arrows and he scattered them, lightning, and he directed them.
他射出箭来, 使仇敌四散, 发出闪电, 使他们扰乱.

22:16 Then the channels of water of the sea were exposed, the foundations of the world, at the rebuke of Yawheh, from the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
耶和华的斥责一发, 鼻孔的气一出, 海底就出现, 大地的根基也显露.

22:17 He sent from a high position and took me; he drew me from mighty waters.
他从高天伸手抓住我, 把我从大水中拉上来.

22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemies, from those who hate me, for they were mightier than I.
他救我脱离我的劲敌和那些恨我的人, 因为他们比我强盛.

22:19 They approached me on the day of my disaster, but Yahweh was my support.
我遭遇灾难的日子, 他们来攻击我; 但耶和华是我的倚靠.

22:20 He brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.
他又领我到宽阔之处; 他救拔我, 因他喜悦我.

22:21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me.
耶和华按着我的公义报答我, 按着我手中的清洁赏赐我.

22:22 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh; I have not acted wickedly against my God.

22:23 For all of his ordinances were before me, and I did not turn aside from his statutes.
他的一切典章常在我面前; 他的律例, 我也未曾离弃.

22:24 I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

22:25 Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before his eyes.

22:27 With the pure, you show yourself pure, but with the crooked, you appear as a fool.

22:28 Humble people you will deliver, but your eyes are on the haughty, whom you bring down.

22:29 For you, O Yahweh are my lamp, and Yahweh lightens my darkness.
耶和华啊, 你是我的灯; 耶和华必照明我的黑暗.

22:30 For by you I can run a raid; by my God I can leap over a wall.
我藉着你冲入敌军, 藉着我的神跳过墙垣.

22:31 This God, his way is blameless; the promise of Yahweh is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.
至于神, 他的道是完全的; 耶和华的话是炼净的. 凡投靠他的, 他便作他们的盾牌.

22:32 For who is God apart from Yahweh? And who is a rock apart from our God?
除了耶和华, 谁是神呢? 除了我们的神, 谁是磐石呢?

22:33 God is my strong refuge, he has fully opened my way.
神是我坚固的保障; 他引导完全人行他的路.

22:34 He makes my feet like a doe deer, and on my high places he has set me.
他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄, 又使我在高处安稳.

22:35 He trains my hands for the war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
他教导我的手能以争战, 甚至我的膀臂能开铜弓.

22:36 You have given me the shield of your salvation; your willingness to help has made me great.
你把你的救恩给我作盾牌; 你的温和使我为大.

22:37 You have broadened my steps beneath me; my ankles have not wobbled.
你使我脚下的地步宽阔; 我的脚未曾滑跌.

22:38 I pursued those who hate me, and I destroyed them. I did not turn back until finishing them.
我追赶我的仇敌, 灭绝了他们, 未灭以先, 我没有归回.

22:39 I wiped them out and I smashed them; they did not get up; they fell under my feet.
我灭绝了他们, 打伤了他们, 使他们不能起来; 他们都倒在我的脚下.

22:40 You have girded me with physical strength for the battle; you caused those who rose up against me to kneel under me.

22:41 My enemies you cause to retreat from me; I destroy those who hate me.

22:42 They looked out, but there was no deliverer, even to Yahweh, but he did not answer them.
他们仰望, 却无人拯救; 就是呼求耶和华, 他也不应允.

我捣碎他们, 如同地上的灰尘, 践踏他们, 四散在地, 如同街上的泥土.

22:46 Children of a foreign land lost heart and came trembling from their strongholds.

22:48 God does vengeance for me, bringing down peoples under me.
这位神就是那为我伸冤,使众民服在我以下的.

22:49 He brings me out from my enemies, and from those who rose up against me you lift me up, and from men of violence you rescue me.

耶和华啊, 因此我要在外邦中称谢你, 歌颂你的名.

22:51 He makes great salvation for his king and shows loyal love to his anointed one, David and to his descendants forever.”
耶和华赐极大的救恩给他所立的王, 施慈爱给他的受膏者, 就是给大卫和他的后裔, 直到永远!

II Samuel - Chapter 23

23:1 These are the last words of David, the declaration of David the son of Jesse, and the declaration of the man exalted by the Most High, the anointed one of the God of Jacob and the darling of the songs of Israel.
以下是大卫末了的话. 耶西的儿子大卫得居高位, 是雅各神所膏的, 作以色列的美歌者, 说:

23:2 “The spirit of Yahweh speaks through me, and his word is upon my tongue.
耶和华的灵藉着我说: 他的话在我口中.

23:3 The God of Israel said to me, the rock of Israel has spoken; ‘He who rules over mankind rules righteously, in the fear of God.
以色列的神,以色列的磐石晓谕我说: 那以公义治理人民的, 敬畏神执掌权柄,

23:4 Like the light of the morning when the sun rises, shining with no clouds, bringing vegetation from the earth apart from rain.’
他必像日出的晨光, 如无云的清晨, 雨后的晴光, 使地发生嫩草.

23:5 Yet not so is my house with God, for he made an everlasting covenant for me, arranging everything. He has secured all my deliverance, and all my desire he will cause to happen.
我家在神面前并非如此; 神却与我立永远的约. 这约凡事坚稳, 关乎我的一切救恩和我一切所想望的, 他岂不为我成就吗?

23:6 But evil persons are like thorns cast aside; all of them, because they cannot be picked up in the hand.
但匪类都必像荆棘被丢弃; 人不敢用手拿它;

23:7 And if a man wants to touch them, he must use an iron instrument or the shaft of a spear; then they are consumed entirely with fire on the spot.”
拿它的人必带铁器和枪杆, 终久它必被火焚烧.

23:8 These are the names of the mighty warriors who were David’s: Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite was chief of three officers; first Adino, whose spear was against eight hundred slain on one occurrence.
大卫勇士的名字记在下面: 他革扪人约设‧巴设, 又称伊斯尼人亚底挪, 他是军长的统领, 一时击杀了八百人.

23:9 Next to him Eleazar, the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite, was among the three mighty warriors with David when they defied the Philistines and they gathered there for the battle and the men of Israel withdrew.
其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒. 从前非利士人聚集要打仗, 以色列人迎著上去, 有跟随大卫的三个勇士向非利士人骂阵, 其中有以利亚撒.

23:10 He stood up and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew tired and his hand clung to the sword, and Yahweh brought about a great victory on that day. Then the army returned back to him only for stripping the dead.
他起来击杀非利士人, 直到手臂疲乏, 手黏住刀把. 那日耶和华使以色列人大获全胜; 众民在以利亚撒后头专夺财物.

23:11 Next to him was Shamma, the son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines assembled at Lehi, a plot of the field was there filled with lentils, and the army fled there from the presence of the Philistines.
其次是哈拉人亚基的儿子沙玛. 一日, 非利士人聚集成群, 在一块长满红豆的田里, 众民就在非利士人面前逃跑.

23:12 But he took a stand in the middle of the plot of land and defended it. He killed the Philistines, and Yahweh brought about a great victory.
沙玛却站在那田间击杀非利士人, 救护了那田. 耶和华使以色列人大获全胜.

23:13 Then three of the thirty leaders went down and came to David at the time of the harvest to the cave of Adullam, while a group of the Philistines were camping in the valley of the Rephaim.
收割的时候, 有三十个勇士中的三个人下到亚杜兰洞见大卫. 非利士的军兵在利乏音谷安营.

23:14 Now at that time, David was in the stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that same time.
那时大卫在山寨, 非利士人的防营在伯利恒.

23:15 David said longingly, “Oh that someone would bring me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem that is at the gate.”
大卫渴想, 说: “甚愿有人将伯利恒城门旁,井里的水打来给我喝. ”

23:16 So three of the mighty warriors broke into the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was at the gate, and they carried it and brought it to David. But he was not willing to drink it, but poured it out to Yahweh.
这三个勇士就闯过非利士人的营盘, 从伯利恒城门旁的井里打水, 拿来奉给大卫. 他却不肯喝, 将水奠在耶和华面前,

23:17 He said, “Far be it from me before Yahweh that I should do this. Is this not the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty warriors did.
说: “耶和华啊, 这三个人冒死去打水; 这水好像他们的血一般, 我断不敢喝. ”如此, 大卫不肯喝. 这是三个勇士所做的事.

23:18 Now Abishai the brother of Joab the son of Zeruiah was himself the leader of the thirty. He was wielding his spear against three hundred slain and gained a name among the thirty.
洗鲁雅的儿子,约押的兄弟亚比筛是这三个勇士的首领; 他举枪杀了三百人, 就在三个勇士里得了名.

23:19 Among the thirty, is it not that he was honored and became a commander for them? But he did not come up to the three.
他在这三个勇士里是最尊贵的, 所以作他们的首领, 只是不及前三个勇士.

23:20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of Ish-Hai, was a great man of deeds from Kabzeel. He struck down two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
有甲薛勇士耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅行过大能的事; 他杀了摩押人亚利伊勒的两个儿子, 又在下雪的时候下坑里去, 杀了一个狮子,

23:21 He also killed a good-looking Egyptian man, in whose hand was a spear. He went down against him with the staff and snatched the spear from the hand of the Egyptian and killed him with his spear.
又杀了一个强壮的埃及人; 埃及人手里拿着枪, 比拿雅只拿着棍子下去, 从埃及人手里夺过枪来, 用那枪将他杀死.

23:22 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did and gained a name for himself among the three mighty warriors.
这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅所行的事, 就在三个勇士里得了名.

23:23 He was honored more than the thirty, but he did not come up to the three. David appointed him in charge of his bodyguard.
他比那三十个勇士都尊贵, 只是不及前三个勇士. 大卫立他作护卫长.

23:24 Among the thirty were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

II Samuel - Chapter 24

24:1 Again Yahweh was angry with Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go count Israel and Judah.”
耶和华又向以色列人发怒, 就激动大卫, 使他吩咐人去数点以色列人和犹大人.

24:2 The king said to Joab, the commander of the army who was with him: “Please go about through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people that I may know the number of the people.”
大卫就吩咐跟随他的元帅约押说: “你去走遍以色列众支派, 从但直到别是巴, 数点百姓, 我好知道他们的数目. ”

24:3 Then Joab said to the king, “May Yahweh your God increase the people a hundred times what they are as the eyes of my lord the king are seeing. But my lord the king, why does he desire this thing?”
约押对王说: “无论百姓多少, 愿耶和华─你的神再加增百倍, 使我主我王亲眼得见. 我主我王何必喜悦行这事呢? ”

24:4 But the word of the king prevailed over Joab and over the commanders of the army, so Joab and the commanders of the army went out from before the king to count the people of Israel.
但王的命令胜过约押和众军长. 约押和众军长就从王面前出去, 数点以色列的百姓.

24:5 They crossed over the Jordan and camped at Aroer to the south of the city, which was in the middle of the wadi of Gad, and up to Jazer.
他们过了约旦河, 在迦得谷中,城的右边亚罗珥安营, 与雅谢相对,

24:6 Then they went to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi. They came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon
又到了基列和他停‧合示地, 又到了但‧雅安, 绕到西顿,

24:7 and came to the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to the Negev of Judah at Beersheba.
来到泰尔的保障, 并希未人和迦南人的各城, 又到犹大南方的别是巴.

24:8 They went about through all the land, and they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
他们走遍全地, 过了九个月零二十天, 就回到耶路撒冷.

24:9 Then Joab gave the number of the counting of the people to the king. Israel was eight hundred thousand valiant warriors wielding the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.
约押将百姓的总数奏告于王: 以色列拿刀的勇士有八十万; 犹大有五十万.

24:10 The heart of David struck him after he had counted the people, and David said to Yahweh, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done! So then, O Yahweh, please forgive the guilt of your servant because I have acted very foolishly.”
大卫数点百姓以后, 就心中自责, 祷告耶和华说: “我行这事大有罪了. 耶和华啊, 求你除掉仆人的罪孽, 因我所行的甚是愚昧. ”

24:11 When David got up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to Gad the prophet, the seer of David, saying,
大卫早晨起来, 耶和华的话临到先知迦得, 就是大卫的先见, 说:

24:12 “Go and speak to David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, three things I am laying on you; choose for yourself one of them and I will do it to you.’ ”
“你去告诉大卫, 说耶和华如此说: ‘我有三样灾, 随你选择一样, 我好降与你. ’”

24:13 Then Gad came to David, and he told him and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine in the land come to you? Or three months of your fleeing from your enemies while he is pursuing you? Or should there be three days of pestilence in your land? Now consider and decide what I must return to the one who sent me a word.”
于是迦得来见大卫, 对他说: “你愿意国中有七年的饥荒呢? 是在你敌人面前逃跑, 被追赶三个月呢? 是在你国中有三日的瘟疫呢? 现在你要揣摩思想, 我好回覆那差我来的. ”

24:14 Then David said to Gad, “I am greatly distressed. Please let us fall into the hand of Yahweh, because he is great in his compassion; but into the hand of man don’t let me fall.”
大卫对迦得说: “我甚为难! 我愿落在耶和华的手里, 因为他有丰盛的怜悯. 我不愿落在人的手里. ”

24:15 Then Yahweh sent a plague into Israel from the morning until the agreed time, and from the people from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand men died.
于是, 耶和华降瘟疫与以色列人, 自早晨到所定的时候; 从但直到别是巴, 民间死了七万人.

24:16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, Yahweh regretted about the evil, and he said to the angel who brought destruction among the people, “Enough, now relax your hand.” Now the angel of Yahweh was at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
天使向耶路撒冷伸手要灭城的时候, 耶和华后悔, 就不降这灾了, 吩咐灭民的天使说: “够了! 住手吧! ”那时耶和华的使者在耶布斯人亚劳拿的禾场那里.

24:17 David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel destroying among the people, and he said, “Look, I have sinned and I have done wrong, but these sheep, what did they do? Please let your hand be against me and against the house of my father.”
大卫看见灭民的天使, 就祷告耶和华说: “我犯了罪, 行了恶; 但这群羊做了甚么呢? 愿你的手攻击我和我的父家. ”

24:18 Then Gad came to David on that same day and said to him, “Go up and erect an altar to Yahweh at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
当日, 迦得来见大卫, 对他说: “你上去, 在耶布斯人亚劳拿的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛. ”

24:19 So David went up according to the word of Gad, as Yahweh had commanded.
大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华名所说的话上去了.

24:20 Araunah looked down and saw the king and his servants coming over to him, so Araunah went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
亚劳拿观看, 见王和他臣仆前来, 就迎接出去, 脸伏于地, 向王下拜,

24:21 Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy from you the threshing floor, to build an altar to Yahweh who brought a halt to the plague on the people.”
说: “我主我王为何来到仆人这里呢? ”大卫说: “我要买你这禾场, 为耶和华筑一座坛, 使民间的瘟疫止住. ”

24:22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer what is good in his eyes. Look, here are the cattle for the burnt offering and the threshing sledge and the yokes of the oxen for the firewood.
亚劳拿对大卫说: “我主我王, 你喜悦用甚么, 就拿去献祭. 看哪, 这里有牛可以作燔祭, 有打粮的器具和套牛的轭可以当柴烧.

24:23 All of this Araunah hereby gives to the king.” Then Araunah said to the king, “May Yahweh your God respond favorably for you.”
王啊, 这一切, 我亚劳拿都奉给你”; 又对王说: “愿耶和华─你的神悦纳你. ”

24:24 Then the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will certainly buy it from you for a price; I don’t want to offer to Yahweh my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the cattle for fifty shekels of silver.
王对亚劳拿说: “不然. 我必要按著价值向你买; 我不肯用白得之物作燔祭献给耶和华─我的神. ”大卫就用五十舍客勒银子买了那禾场与牛.

24:25 David built an altar to Yahweh there, and he offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then Yahweh responded to his prayer for the land and brought the plague to a halt from upon Israel.
大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛, 献燔祭和平安祭. 如此, 耶和华垂听国民所求的, 瘟疫在以色列人中就止住了.

I Kings (列王记上)

I Kings - Chapter 1

1:1 Now King David had become old, advanced in years, and they covered him with garments, but he was not warm.
大卫王年纪老迈, 虽用被遮盖, 仍不觉暖.

1:2 His servants said to him, “Let them search for a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her stand before the king. Let her be of use for him, and let her lie in your lap that my lord the king may be warm.”
所以臣仆对他说: “不如为我主我王寻找一个处女, 使她伺候王, 奉养王, 睡在王的怀中, 好叫我主我王得暖. ”

1:3 So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the territory of Israel, and they found Abishag the Shunnamite and brought her to the king.
于是在以色列全境寻找美貌的童女, 寻得书念的一个童女亚比煞, 就带到王那里.

1:4 Now the young woman was very beautiful; she was of use for the king, and she served him, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
这童女极其美貌, 她奉养王, 伺候王, 王却没有与她亲近.

1:5 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith was exalting himself, saying, “I will be king,” so he prepared for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty men running before him.
那时, 哈及的儿子亚多尼雅自尊, 说: “我必作王”, 就为自己预备车辆,马兵, 又派五十人在他前头奔走.

1:6 His father did not rebuke him at any time by saying, “Why did you do so?” Now he was also very handsome of appearance; she had borne him after Absalom.
他父亲素来没有使他忧闷, 说: “你是做甚么呢? ”他甚俊美, 生在押沙龙之后.

1:7 He conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they supported Adonijah.
亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押, 和祭司亚比亚他商议; 二人就顺从他, 帮助他.

1:8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty warriors were David’s; they were not with Adonijah.
但祭司撒督,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅,先知拿单,示每,利以, 并大卫的勇士都不顺从亚多尼雅.

1:9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened animals near the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel. He invited all of his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
一日, 亚多尼雅在隐‧罗结旁,琐希列磐石那里宰了牛羊,肥犊, 请他的诸弟兄, 就是王的众子, 并所有作王臣仆的犹大人;

1:10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty warriors or Solomon his brother.
惟独先知拿单和比拿雅并勇士, 与他的兄弟所罗门, 他都没有请.

1:11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, but our lord David does not know?
拿单对所罗门的母亲拔示巴说: “哈及的儿子亚多尼雅作王了, 你没有听见吗? 我们的主大卫却不知道.

1:12 So then, come, let me advise you please, that you may save your life and the life of your son, Solomon.
现在我可以给你出个主意, 好保全你和你儿子所罗门的性命.

1:13 Come, go to King David and say to him, ‘Have you not, my lord the king, sworn to your servant, “Surely Solomon your son shall become king after me. And he will sit on my throne”? But why is Adonijah king?’
你进去见大卫王, 对他说: ‘我主我王啊, 你不曾向婢女起誓说: 你儿子所罗门必接续我作王, 坐在我的位上吗? 现在亚多尼雅怎么作了王呢? ’

1:14 While you are still there speaking with the king, I will enter after you, and I will confirm your words.”
你还与王说话的时候, 我也随后进去, 证实你的话. ”

1:15 So Bathsheba went to the king in the private room. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunnamite was attending the king.
拔示巴进入内室见王, 王甚老迈, 书念的童女亚比煞正伺候王.

1:16 Bathsheba knelt and bowed down before the king, and the king asked, “What do you want?”
拔示巴向王屈身下拜; 王说: “你要甚么? ”

1:17 She said to him, “My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, ‘Solomon your son surely shall become king after me, and he will sit upon my throne!’
她说: “我主啊, 你曾向婢女指著耶和华─你的神起誓说: ‘你儿子所罗门必接续我作王, 坐在我的位上. ’

1:18 But now, look! Adonijah has become king! And now, my lord the king, you do not know!
现在亚多尼雅作王了, 我主我王却不知道.

1:19 He has sacrificed oxen and sheep and fattened animals in abundance, and he has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, Joab the commander of the army, but Solomon your servant he did not invite.
他宰了许多牛羊,肥犊, 请了王的众子和祭司亚比亚他, 并元帅约押; 惟独王的仆人所罗门, 他没有请.

1:20 But as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
我主我王啊, 以色列众人的眼目都仰望你, 等你晓谕他们, 在我主我王之后谁坐你的位.

1:21 It shall be that when my lord the king sleeps with his ancestors, I and my son Solomon will be considered as sinners.”
若不然, 到我主我王与列祖同睡以后, 我和我儿子所罗门必算为罪人了. ”

1:22 While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
拔示巴还与王说话的时候, 先知拿单也进来了.

1:23 They told the king, “Nathan the prophet is here.” He came into the presence of the king and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
有人奏告王说: “先知拿单来了. ”拿单进到王前, 脸伏于地.

1:24 Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall be king after me and he shall sit on my throne’?
拿单说: “我主我王果然应许亚多尼雅说‘你必接续我作王, 坐在我的位上’吗?

1:25 “For he went down today and sacrificed oxen, sheep, and fattened animals in abundance. He invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest, and look, they are eating and drinking before him. They have also said, “Long live King Adonijah!
他今日下去, 宰了许多牛羊,肥犊, 请了王的众子和军长, 并祭司亚比亚他; 他们正在亚多尼雅面前吃喝, 说: ‘愿亚多尼雅王万岁! ’

1:26 But me, your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon your servant he did not invite.
惟独我, 就是你的仆人和祭司撒督, 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 并王的仆人所罗门, 他都没有请.

1:27 If it was from my lord the king that this thing has happened, then all is well, but if not, you must let your servants know who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.”
这事果然出乎我主我王吗? 王却没有告诉仆人们, 在我主我王之后谁坐你的位. ”

1:28 Then King David answered and said, “Summon Bathsheba for me.” Then she came before the king and stood in his presence.
大卫王吩咐说: “叫拔示巴来. ”拔示巴就进来, 站在王面前.

1:29 Then the king swore and said, “As Yahweh lives, who has saved my life from all trouble,
王起誓说: “我指著救我性命脱离一切苦难,永生的耶和华起誓.

1:30 surely as I swore to you by Yahweh the God of Israel, saying, ‘Solomon your son shall surely be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,’ surely I shall do so this very day.”
我既然指著耶和华─以色列的神向你起誓说: 你儿子所罗门必接续我作王, 坐在我的位上. 我今日就必照这话而行. ”

1:31 Then Bathsheba knelt with her face to the ground and did obeisance to the king, and she said, “May my lord, King David, live forever.”
于是, 拔示巴脸伏于地, 向王下拜, 说: “愿我主大卫王万岁! ”

1:32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,” and they came before the king.
大卫王又吩咐说: “将祭司撒督,先知拿单,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅召来! ”他们就都来到王面前.

1:33 The king said to them, “Take with you all the servants of your lord, and let them make Solomon my son ride on my mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
王对他们说: “要带领你们主的仆人, 使我儿子所罗门骑我的骡子, 送他下到基训;

1:34 Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel. Blow on the trumpet and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
在那里, 祭司撒督和先知拿单要膏他作以色列的王; 你们也要吹角, 说: ‘愿所罗门王万岁! ’

1:35 Then you shall go up after him, and let him come and sit on my throne; he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be leader over Israel and Judah.”
然后要跟随他上来, 使他坐在我的位上, 接续我作王. 我已立他作以色列和犹大的君. ”

1:36 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, “Amen! So may Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, confirm it!
耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅对王说: “阿们! 愿耶和华─我主我王的神也这样命定.

1:37 As Yahweh was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
耶和华怎样与我主我王同在, 愿他照样与所罗门同在, 使他的国位比我主大卫王的国位更大. ”

1:38 Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites went down, and they let Solomon ride on the mule of King David, and they brought him to Gihon.
于是, 祭司撒督,先知拿单,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 和基利提人,比利提人都下去使所罗门骑大卫王的骡子, 将他送到基训.

1:39 Then Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and he anointed Solomon. They blew on the trumpet, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”
祭司撒督就从帐幕中取了盛膏油的角来, 用膏膏所罗门. 人就吹角, 众民都说: “愿所罗门王万岁! ”

1:40 All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on the flutes and rejoicing with great joy, and the earth shook with their noise.
众民跟随他上来, 且吹笛, 大大欢呼, 声音震地.

1:41 And Adonijah and all the invited guests who were with him heard it. Now they were finished eating when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet and said, “Why is there such a noise in the city?”
亚多尼雅和所请的众客筵宴方毕, 听见这声音; 约押听见角声就说: “城中为何有这响声呢? ”

1:42 While he was still speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Adonijah said, “Come, for you are a man of valor, and you bring good news.”
他正说话的时候, 祭司亚比亚他的儿子约拿单来了. 亚多尼雅对他说: “进来吧! 你是个忠义的人, 必是报好信息. ”

1:43 Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “But our lord King David has made Solomon king!
约拿单对亚多尼雅说: “我们的主大卫王诚然立所罗门为王了.

1:44 He sent Zadok the priest with the king, and Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites; they made him ride on the king’s mule.
王差遣祭司撒督,先知拿单,耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 和基利提人,比利提人都去使所罗门骑王的骡子.

1:45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him as king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there rejoicing. The city has gone wild; this is the sound which you heard.
祭司撒督和先知拿单在基训已经膏他作王. 众人都从那里欢呼著上来, 声音使城震动, 这就是你们所听见的声音;

1:46 And also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom!
并且所罗门登了国位.

1:47 The servants of the king also came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘Your God has made the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!’ So the king worshiped on the bed.
王的臣仆也来为我们的主大卫王祝福, 说: ‘愿王的神使所罗门的名比王的名更尊荣; 使他的国位比王的国位更大. ’王就在床上屈身下拜.

1:48 What is more, the king said, ‘May Yahweh the God of Israel be blessed, who has given this day one sitting on my throne, and my eyes are seeing it!’ ”
王又说: ‘耶和华─以色列的神是应当称颂的; 因他赐我一人今日坐在我的位上, 我也亲眼看见了. ’”

1:49 Then all the invited guests who were for Adonijah trembled and got up and went, each on his way.
亚多尼雅的众客听见这话就都惊惧, 起来四散.

1:50 Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon, and he got up and went and grasped the horns of the altar.
亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门, 就起来, 去抓住祭坛的角.

1:51 Solomon was told, “Look, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and he has grasped the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will surely not kill his servant with the sword!’ ”
有人告诉所罗门说: “亚多尼雅惧怕所罗门王, 现在抓住祭坛的角, 说: ‘愿所罗门王今日向我起誓, 必不用刀杀仆人. ’”

1:52 Solomon said, “If he is a son of noble character, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, but if evil is found in him, then he will die.”
所罗门说: “他若作忠义的人, 连一根头发也不致落在地上; 他若行恶, 必要死亡. ”

1:53 Then King Solomon sent and brought him down from upon the altar. He came and did obeisance to King Solomon. Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
于是所罗门王差遣人, 使亚多尼雅从坛上下来, 他就来, 向所罗门王下拜; 所罗门对他说: “你回家去吧! ”

I Kings - Chapter 2

2:1 The days of David came near for him to die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
大卫的死期临近了, 就嘱咐他儿子所罗门说:

2:2 “I am about to go the way of all the world. Be strong and be courageous.
“我现在要走世人必走的路. 所以, 你当刚强, 作大丈夫,

2:3 You shall keep the charge of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his judgments, and his testimonies, as are written in the law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all that you do and everywhere you turn,
遵守耶和华─你神所吩咐的, 照着摩西律法上所写的行主的道, 谨守他的律例,诫命,典章,法度. 这样, 你无论做甚么事, 不拘往何处去, 尽都亨通.

2:4 so that Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons take heed of their way, to walk before me in faithfulness, with all their heart and with all their soul, no man of yours will be cut off from the throne of Israel.’ ”
耶和华必成就向我所应许的话说: ‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为, 尽心尽意诚诚实实地行在我面前, 就不断人坐以色列的国位. ’

2:5 “Moreover, you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me when he dealt with the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner son of Ner and to Amasa son of Jether, and he murdered them and put the blood of war in a time of peace. He put the blood of war on the leather belt that was on his waist and on the sandals which were on his feet.
你知道洗鲁雅的儿子约押向我所行的, 就是杀了以色列的两个元帅: 尼珥的儿子押尼珥和益帖的儿子亚玛撒. 他在太平之时流这二人的血, 如在争战之时一样, 将这血染了腰间束的带和脚上穿的鞋.

2:6 You must act according to your wisdom, but you must not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.
所以你要照你的智慧行, 不容他白头安然下阴间.

2:7 Regarding the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, you shall do loyal love and let them be among those who eat at your table, because they met me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
你当恩待基列人巴西莱的众子, 使他们常与你同席吃饭; 因为我躲避你哥哥押沙龙的时候, 他们拿食物来迎接我.

2:8 And look, Shimei the son of Gera the son of the Benjaminite from Bahurim is with you. Now he cursed me severely when I went to Mahanaim, but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, so I swore to him by Yahweh, ‘I surely will not kill you with the sword.’
在你这里有巴户琳的便雅悯人, 基拉的儿子示每; 我往玛哈念去的那日, 他用狠毒的言语咒骂我, 后来却下约旦河迎接我, 我就指著耶和华向他起誓说: ‘我必不用刀杀你. ’

2:9 So then, do not leave him unpunished, for you are a wise man, and you will know what you must do to him. You must bring his grey hair down to Sheol with blood.”
现在你不要以他为无罪. 你是聪明人, 必知道怎样待他, 使他白头见杀, 流血下到阴间. ”

2:10 Then David slept with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David.
大卫与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城.

2:11 The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
大卫作以色列王四十年: 在希伯仑作王七年, 在耶路撒冷作王三十三年.

2:12 Then Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.
所罗门坐他父亲大卫的位, 他的国甚是坚固.

2:13 Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she said, “Are you coming in peace?” He said, “Peace.”
哈及的儿子亚多尼雅去见所罗门的母亲拔示巴, 拔示巴问他说: “你来是为平安吗? ”回答说: “是为平安”;

2:14 Then he said, “May I have a word with you?” Then she said, “Go on.”
又说: “我有话对你说. ”拔示巴说: “你说吧. ”

2:15 He said, “You know that the kingship was mine and that all Israel had set their face toward me as king, but the kingship turned around and became my brother’s, for it was from Yahweh for him to have it.
亚多尼雅说: “你知道国原是归我的, 以色列众人也都仰望我作王, 不料, 国反归了我兄弟, 因他得国是出乎耶和华.

2:16 Now one request I am asking from you, and you must not refuse me.” Then she said to him, “Go on.”
现在我有一件事求你, 望你不要推辞. ”拔示巴说: “你说吧. ”

2:17 He said, “Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you, so that he will give to me Abishag the Shunnamite as wife.”
他说: “求你请所罗门王将书念的女子亚比煞赐我为妻, 因他必不推辞你. ”

2:18 Then Bathsheba said, “Very well, I will speak to the king concerning you.”
拔示巴说: “好, 我必为你对王提说. ”

2:19 Bathsheba came to King Solomon to speak to him concerning Adonijah, and the king got up to meet her, bowed down to her, and then sat on his throne. Then he set up a throne for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.
于是, 拔示巴去见所罗门王, 要为亚多尼雅提说; 王起来迎接, 向她下拜, 就坐在位上, 吩咐人为王母设一座位, 她便坐在王的右边.

2:20 She said, “I have one small request I am asking from you. Do not refuse me.” The king said to her, “Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”
拔示巴说: “我有一件小事求你, 望你不要推辞. ”王说: “请母亲说, 我必不推辞. ”

2:21 Then she said, “Let Abishag the Shunnamite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”
拔示巴说: “求你将书念的女子亚比煞赐给你哥哥亚多尼雅为妻. ”

2:22 King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “Why are you asking Abishag the Shunnamite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom, for he is my brother, older than I; and ask for him also Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”
所罗门王对他母亲说: “为何单替他求书念的女子亚比煞呢? 也可以为他求国吧! 他是我的哥哥, 他有祭司亚比亚他和洗鲁雅的儿子约押为辅佐. ”

2:23 Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “Thus may God do to me and thus may he add, if Adonijah hasn’t spoken this thing at the expense of his life.
所罗门王就指著耶和华起誓说: “亚多尼雅这话是自己送命, 不然, 愿神重重地降罚与我.

2:24 So then, as Yahweh lives, who has established me and seated me on the throne of my father David and who has established for me a dynasty as he promised, then surely Adonijah will be put to death today.”
耶和华坚立我, 使我坐在父亲大卫的位上, 照着所应许的话为我建立家室; 现在我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 亚多尼雅今日必被治死. ”

2:25 King Solomon sent through the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, so he struck him, and he died.
于是所罗门王差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 将亚多尼雅杀死.

2:26 To Abiathar the priest, the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your field, for you deserve to die, but on this day I will not kill you, for you carried the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father, and because you endured hardship in all the hardship that my father endured.”
王对祭司亚比亚他说: “你回亚拿突归自己的田地去吧! 你本是该死的, 但因你在我父亲大卫面前抬过主耶和华的约柜, 又与我父亲同受一切苦难, 所以我今日不将你杀死. ”

2:27 So Solomon banished Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, thus fulfilling the word which Yahweh had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
所罗门就革除亚比亚他, 不许他作耶和华的祭司. 这样, 便应验耶和华在示罗论以利家所说的话.

2:28 When the message came to Joab (now Joab had supported Adonijah but had not supported Absalom), he fled to the tent of Yahweh and grasped the horns of the altar.
约押虽然没有归从押沙龙, 却归从了亚多尼雅. 他听见这风声, 就逃到耶和华的帐幕, 抓住祭坛的角.

2:29 It was told to King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Yahweh and was beside the altar. So Solomon sent word to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go and fall upon him.”
有人告诉所罗门王说: “约押逃到耶和华的帐幕, 现今在祭坛的旁边. ”所罗门就差遣耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 说: “你去将他杀死. ”

2:30 So Benaiah went to the tent of Yahweh, and he said to him, “Thus says the king: ‘Come out.’ ” And he said, “No, for I want to die here.” So Benaiah returned a word to the king, saying, “Thus Joab spoke, and thus he answered me.”
比拿雅来到耶和华的帐幕, 对约押说: “王吩咐说, 你出来吧! ”他说: “我不出去, 我要死在这里. ”比拿雅就去回复王, 说约押如此如此回答我.

2:31 Then the king said to him, “Do as he spoke; fall upon him and bury him, and so you shall remove the innocent blood that Joab shed from on me and from on the house of my father.
王说: “你可以照着他的话行, 杀死他, 将他葬埋, 好叫约押流无辜人血的罪不归我和我的父家了.

2:32 Yahweh will return his blood on his head, because he fell upon two men, more righteous and better than he, and he killed them with the sword, even though my father did not know it; namely Abner son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.
耶和华必使约押流人血的罪归到他自己的头上; 因为他用刀杀了两个比他又义又好的人, 就是以色列元帅尼珥的儿子押尼珥和犹大元帅益帖的儿子亚玛撒, 我父亲大卫却不知道.

2:33 And their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever, but for David and his descendants and for his house and his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”
故此, 流这二人血的罪必归到约押和他后裔的头上, 直到永远; 惟有大卫和他的后裔, 并他的家与国, 必从耶和华那里得平安, 直到永远. ”

2:34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, and he fell on him and killed him, and he was buried in his house in the wilderness.
于是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅上去, 将约押杀死, 葬在旷野约押自己的坟墓(原文是房屋)里.

2:35 Then the king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in place of Abiathar.
王就立耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅作元帅, 代替约押, 又使祭司撒督代替亚比亚他.

2:36 Then the king sent and summoned Shimei, and he said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, but you must not go out anywhere whatsoever from there.
王差遣人将示每召来, 对他说: “你要在耶路撒冷建造房屋居住, 不可出来往别处去.

2:37 It shall happen that on the day you go out and cross over the Wadi Kidron, know for certain that you will surely die. Your blood will be on your head.”
你当确实地知道, 你何日出来过汲沦溪, 何日必死! 你的罪(原文是血)必归到自己的头上. ”

2:38 Shimei said to the king, “The word is good that my lord the king has spoken to me; thus will your servant do.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
示每对王说: “这话甚好! 我主我王怎样说, 仆人必怎样行. ”于是示每多日住在耶路撒冷.

2:39 It happened that at the end of three years, two of Shimei’s slaves fled to Achish, son of Maacah, the king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Your slaves are here in Gath.”
过了三年, 示每的两个仆人逃到迦特王玛迦的儿子亚吉那里去. 有人告诉示每说: “你的仆人在迦特. ”

2:40 So Shimei got up and saddled his donkey, and he went to Gath, to Achish, to search for his slaves. So Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
示每起来, 备上驴, 往迦特到亚吉那里去找他的仆人, 就从迦特带他仆人回来.

2:41 When Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned,
有人告诉所罗门说: “示每出耶路撒冷往迦特去, 回来了. ”

2:42 the king sent and summoned Shimei, and he said to him, “Did I not make you swear by Yahweh? I warned you, saying, ‘On the day you go out and you go anywhere whatsoever, know for certain that you will surely die.’ And you said to me, ‘The word is good; I accept.’
王就差遣人将示每召了来, 对他说: “我岂不是叫你指著耶和华起誓, 并且警戒你说‘你当确实地知道, 你哪日出来往别处去, 那日必死’吗? 你也对我说: ‘这话甚好, 我必听从. ’

2:43 Why have you not kept the oath of Yahweh and the command which I commanded you?”
现在你为何不遵守你指著耶和华起的誓和我所吩咐你的命令呢? ”

2:44 Then the king said to Shimei, “You know all the evil which your heart knows, what you did to David my father. Now Yahweh will return the evil on your head,
王又对示每说: “你向我父亲大卫所行的一切恶事, 你自己心里也知道, 所以耶和华必使你的罪恶归到自己的头上;

2:45 but King Solomon will be blessed and the throne of David will be established before Yahweh forever.”
惟有所罗门王必得福, 并且大卫的国位必在耶和华面前坚定, 直到永远. ”

2:46 Then the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him, and he died. So the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
于是王吩咐耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅, 他就去杀死示每. 这样, 便坚定了所罗门的国位.

I Kings - Chapter 3

3:1 Solomon intermarried with Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and he took the daughter of Pharaoh and brought her to the city of David until he finished building his house, the house of Yahweh, and the walls of Jerusalem all around.
所罗门与埃及王法老结亲, 娶了法老的女儿为妻, 接她进入大卫城, 直等到造完了自己的宫和耶和华的殿, 并耶路撒冷周围的城墙.

3:2 But the people were sacrificing on the high places, for the house for the name of Yahweh had not yet been built in those days.
当那些日子, 百姓仍在邱坛献祭, 因为还没有为耶和华的名建殿.

3:3 Solomon loved Yahweh, by walking in the statutes of David his father; only he was sacrificing and offering incense on the high places.
所罗门爱耶和华, 遵行他父亲大卫的律例, 只是还在邱坛献祭烧香.

3:4 So the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice, for the great high place was there. Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
所罗门王上基遍去献祭; 因为在那里有极大(或译: 出名)的邱坛, 他在那坛上献一千牺牲作燔祭.

3:5 Yahweh appeared to Solomon at Gibeon in a dream at night, and God said, “Ask what I should give to you.”
在基遍, 夜间梦中, 耶和华向所罗门显现, 对他说: “你愿我赐你甚么? 你可以求. ”

3:6 Then Solomon said, “You have shown great loyal love with your servant David my father, as he walked before you in faithfulness and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with you. You have shown for him this great loyal love, and you have given a son to him who is sitting on his throne as it is this day.
所罗门说: “你仆人─我父亲大卫用诚实,公义,正直的心行在你面前, 你就向他大施恩典, 又为他存留大恩, 赐他一个儿子坐在他的位上, 正如今日一样.

3:7 So then, O Yahweh, you are my God. You have made your servant king in place of David my father though I am a young boy. I do not know going out or coming in.
耶和华─我的神啊, 如今你使仆人接续我父亲大卫作王; 但我是幼童, 不知道应当怎样出入.

3:8 Your servant is in the middle of your people whom you have chosen; a great people who cannot be counted or numbered because of abundance.
仆人住在你所拣选的民中, 这民多得不可胜数.

3:9 Give to your servant a listening heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad, because who is able to judge this, your difficult people?”
所以求你赐我智慧, 可以判断你的民, 能辨别是非. 不然, 谁能判断这众多的民呢? ”

3:10 The word was good in the eyes of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.
所罗门因为求这事, 就蒙主喜悦.

3:11 And God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing and you did not ask for yourself a long life and you did not ask riches for yourself and you did not ask for the life of your enemies, but you have asked for yourself the ability to make wise judgments;
神对他说: “你既然求这事, 不为自己求寿,求富, 也不求灭绝你仇敌的性命, 单求智慧可以听讼,

3:12 behold, I do hereby do according to your word. I hereby give you a wise and discerning heart; there was no one like you before you, nor afterwards will one like you arise.
我就应允你所求的, 赐你聪明智慧, 甚至在你以前没有像你的, 在你以后也没有像你的.

3:13 Too, what you have not asked I give to you: both riches and honor, so that no man among the kings will be like you all of your days.
你所没有求的, 我也赐给你, 就是富足,尊荣, 使你在世的日子, 列王中没有一个能比你的.

3:14 If you will walk in my ways by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David your father walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
你若效法你父亲大卫, 遵行我的道, 谨守我的律例,诫命, 我必使你长寿. ”

3:15 Then Solomon awoke, and look, it was a dream, and he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings, and he held a feast for all of his servants.
所罗门醒了, 不料是个梦. 他就回到耶路撒冷, 站在耶和华的约柜前, 献燔祭和平安祭, 又为他众臣仆设摆筵席.

3:16 Then two prostitutes came to the king, and they stood before him.
一日, 有两个妓女来, 站在王面前.

3:17 The one woman said, “Please my lord, I and this woman are living in one house, and I gave birth, with her in the house.
一个说: “我主啊, 我和这妇人同住一房; 她在房中的时候, 我生了一个男孩.

3:18 It happened on the third day after my giving birth, this woman also gave birth, and we were together. There was not anyone with us in the house, only the two of us were in the house.
我生孩子后第三日, 这妇人也生了孩子. 我们是同住的, 除了我们二人之外, 房中再没有别人.

3:19 Then the son of this woman died in the night because she laid on him.
夜间, 这妇人睡着的时候, 压死了她的孩子.

3:20 So she got up in the middle of the night, and she took my son from beside me while your servant was asleep, and she put him in her lap, and she put her dead son in my lap.
她半夜起来, 趁我睡着, 从我旁边把我的孩子抱去, 放在她怀里, 将她的死孩子放在我怀里.

3:21 When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead! When I looked closely at him in the morning, behold, it was not my son whom I had borne.”
天要亮的时候, 我起来要给我的孩子吃奶, 不料, 孩子死了; 及至天亮, 我细细地察看, 不是我所生的孩子. ”

3:22 Then the other woman said, “No, for my son is the living one, and your son is the dead one.” The other kept on saying, “No, for your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one,” and so they argued in front of the king.
那妇人说: “不然, 活孩子是我的, 死孩子是你的. ”这妇人说: “不然, 死孩子是你的, 活孩子是我的. ”她们在王面前如此争论.

3:23 Then the king said, “This one is saying, ‘This is my son, the living one, but your son is the dead one,’ and the other one keeps saying, ‘But no! Your son is the dead one, and my son is living!’ ”
王说: “这妇人说‘活孩子是我的, 死孩子是你的’, 那妇人说‘不然, 死孩子是你的, 活孩子是我的’”,

3:24 So the king said, “Bring me a sword,” and they brought the sword before the king.
就吩咐说: “拿刀来! ”人就拿刀来.

3:25 Then the king said, “Divide the living child into two, and give half to the one and half to the other.”
王说: “将活孩子劈成两半, 一半给那妇人, 一半给这妇人. ”

3:26 Then the woman whose son was the living one spoke to the king because her compassion was aroused for her son, and she said, “Please, my lord, give her the living child, but certainly do not kill him!” The other one was saying, “As for me, so for you! Divide him!”
活孩子的母亲为自己的孩子心里急痛, 就说: “求我主将活孩子给那妇人吧, 万不可杀他! ”那妇人说: “这孩子也不归我, 也不归你, 把他劈了吧! ”

3:27 Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to her, and do not kill him; she is his mother.”
王说: “将活孩子给这妇人, 万不可杀他; 这妇人实在是他的母亲. ”

3:28 When all of Israel heard the judgment that the king had rendered, they stood in awe of the king, because they realized that the wisdom of God was in him to execute justice.
以色列众人听见王这样判断, 就都敬畏他; 因为见他心里有神的智慧, 能以断案.

4:26 Now Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his war chariots and twelve thousand horsemen.
所罗门有套车的马四万, 还有马兵一万二千.

4:27 These governors sustained King Solomon and all who came near to the table of King Solomon, each in his month; they did not omit anything.
那十二个官吏各按各月供给所罗门王, 并一切与他同席之人的食物, 一无所缺.

4:28 The barley and the straw for the horses and for packhorses they brought to the place where they were, each according to his share.
众人各按各分, 将养马与快马的大麦和干草送到官吏那里.

4:29 God gave wisdom to Solomon and very great discernment, as well as breadth of understanding, as the sand which is on the edge of the seashore.
神赐给所罗门极大的智慧聪明和广大的心, 如同海沙不可测量.

4:30 The wisdom of Solomon was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the east and more than all the wisdom of Egypt.
所罗门的智慧超过东方人和埃及人的一切智慧.

4:31 He was wiser than all the men: Ethan the Ezrahite; Heman, Calcol, and Darda the children of Mahol; and he was very well known.
他的智慧胜过万人, 胜过以斯拉人以探, 并玛曷的儿子希幔,甲各,达大的智慧. 他的名声传扬在四围的列国.

4:32 He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.
他作箴言三千句, 诗歌一千零五首.

4:33 He spoke concerning the trees, from the cedar which is in Lebanon up to the hyssop which grows on the wall; he also spoke concerning the animals, concerning the birds, concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fish.
他讲论草木, 自黎巴嫩的香柏树直到墙上长的牛膝草, 又讲论飞禽走兽,昆虫水族.

4:34 They came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon; from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
天下列王听见所罗门的智慧, 就都差人来听他的智慧话.

I Kings - Chapter 5

5:1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon when he heard that they had anointed him as king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend for David.
泰尔王希兰, 平素爱大卫; 他听见以色列人膏所罗门, 接续他父亲作王, 就差遣臣仆来见他.

5:2 Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
所罗门也差遣人去见希兰, 说:

5:3 “You knew David my father, that he was not able to build a house for the name of Yahweh his God, in view of the warfare which surrounded him, until Yahweh placed them under the soles of his feet.
“你知道我父亲大卫因四围的争战, 不能为耶和华─他神的名建殿, 直等到耶和华使仇敌都服在他脚下.

5:4 But now Yahweh my God has given me rest all around me. There is no adversary, and there is no bad occurrence.
现在耶和华─我的神使我四围平安, 没有仇敌, 没有灾祸.

5:5 Here I am, intending to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh promised to my father David, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place on your throne, shall build the house for my name.’
我定意要为耶和华─我神的名建殿, 是照耶和华应许我父亲大卫的话说: ‘我必使你儿子接续你坐你的位, 他必为我的名建殿. ’

5:6 So then, command that they may cut cedars for me from Lebanon, and let my servants be with your servants. The wage of your servants I will give to you according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
所以求你吩咐你的仆人在黎巴嫩为我砍伐香柏木, 我的仆人也必帮助他们, 我必照你所定的, 给你仆人的工价; 因为你知道, 在我们中间没有人像西顿人善于砍伐树木. ”

5:7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be Yahweh this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.”
希兰听见所罗门的话, 就甚喜悦, 说: “今日应当称颂耶和华; 因他赐给大卫一个有智慧的儿子, 治理这众多的民. ”

5:8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard what you have sent to me; I will do all of your desire concerning the timber of cedars and concerning the timber of cypresses.
希兰打发人去见所罗门, 说: “你差遣人向我所提的那事, 我都听见了; 论到香柏木和松木, 我必照你的心愿而行.

5:9 My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will make them into rafts in the sea to float to the place which you indicated to me. Then I shall break them up there, and you may carry them further, and you shall meet my needs by giving food for my house.”
我的仆人必将这木料从黎巴嫩运到海里, 扎成筏子, 浮海运到你所指定我的地方, 在那里拆开, 你就可以收取; 你也要成全我的心愿, 将食物给我的家. ”

5:10 So Hiram was giving to Solomon the cedar timbers and the cypress timbers, everything he needed.
于是希兰照着所罗门所要的, 给他香柏木和松木;

5:11 Then Solomon gave to Hiram twenty thousand dry measures of wheat as food for his household, and twenty dry measures of specially prepared olive oil; thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.
所罗门给希兰麦子二万歌珥, 清油二十歌珥, 作他家的食物. 所罗门每年都是这样给希兰.

5:12 Yahweh gave wisdom to Solomon as he promised to him, and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
耶和华照着所应许的赐智慧给所罗门. 希兰与所罗门和好, 彼此立约.

5:13 Then King Solomon conscripted a forced labor from all Israel, and the forced labor numbered thirty thousand men.
所罗门王从以色列人中挑取服苦的人共有三万,

5:14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand every month; the work groups were a month in Lebanon and two months at home; now Adoniram was over the forced labor.
派他们轮流每月一万人上黎巴嫩去; 一个月在黎巴嫩, 两个月在家里. 亚多尼兰掌管他们.

5:15 Solomon had seventy thousand common laborers and eighty thousand stone craftsmen in the hill country.
所罗门用七万扛抬的, 八万在山上凿石头的.

5:16 Besides the chiefs of the officers Solomon had, there were three thousand three hundred having charge over the people who were doing the work.
此外, 所罗门用三千三百督工的, 监管工人.

5:17 When the king commanded, they quarried great stones and precious stones to lay the foundation of the house with hewn stones.
王下令, 人就凿出又大又宝贵的石头来, 用以立殿的根基.

5:18 So Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites hewed stones, and they prepared the timber and the stone to build the house.
所罗门的匠人和希兰的匠人, 并迦巴勒人, 都将石头凿好, 预备木料和石头建殿.

I Kings - Chapter 6

6:1 It happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites went out from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s rule over Israel, the month of Ziv (that is the second month), that he began to build the house for Yahweh.
以色列人出埃及地后四百八十年, 所罗门作以色列王第四年西弗月, 就是二月, 开工建造耶和华的殿.

6:2 Now the house that King Solomon built for Yahweh was sixty cubits in its length and twenty cubits in its width and thirty cubits in its height.
所罗门王为耶和华所建的殿, 长六十肘, 宽二十肘, 高三十肘.

6:3 The vestibule on the face of the main hall of the temple was twenty cubits in its length, and the width of the temple was ten cubits wide on the face of the temple.
殿前的廊子长二十肘, 与殿的宽窄一样, 阔十肘;

6:4 And he made for the temple specially designed framed windows,
又为殿做了严紧的窗櫺.

6:5 and he built a structure against the wall of the temple running all along the walls of the house, for the outer sanctuary and for the inner sanctuary, and made side rooms all around.
靠着殿墙, 围着外殿内殿, 造了三层旁屋;

6:6 The lower structure was five cubits in its width and the middle was six cubits in its width and the third was seven cubits in its width, for he made niches for the temple all around to the outside, so that beams would not attach to the walls of the temple.
下层宽五肘, 中层宽六肘, 上层宽七肘. 殿外旁屋的梁木搁在殿墙坎上, 免得插入殿墙.

6:7 Now while the temple was being built, it was built with stones finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or stone shaping tool or any instrument of iron was heard in the temple as it was being built.
建殿是用山中凿成的石头. 建殿的时候, 锤子,斧子, 和别样铁器的响声都没有听见.

6:8 The doorway of the side room in the middle of the side of the temple was on the south; they went up with a stairway to the middle and from the middle to the third floor.
在殿右边当中的旁屋有门, 门内有旋螺的楼梯, 可以上到第二层, 从第二层可以上到第三层.

6:9 So he built the house and finished it. He covered the temple with rafters and wood planks and with the cedars.
所罗门建殿, 安置香柏木的栋梁, 又用香柏木板遮盖.

6:10 He also built the structure against all of the temple five cubits in height and fastened it to the temple with beams of cedar.
靠着殿所造的旁屋, 每层高五肘, 香柏木的栋梁搁在殿墙坎上.

6:11 Then the word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,
耶和华的话临到所罗门说:

6:12 “Regarding this temple that you are building: if you walk in my ordinances and if you do my judgments and you keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my promise with you which I made to David your father.
“论到你所建的这殿, 你若遵行我的律例, 谨守我的典章, 遵从我的一切诫命, 我必向你应验我所应许你父亲大卫的话.

6:13 And I will dwell among the Israelites, and I will not forsake my people Israel.”
我必住在以色列人中间, 并不丢弃我民以色列. ”

6:14 So Solomon built the temple and finished it.
所罗门建造殿宇.

6:15 He lined the walls of the inside of the house with boards of cedar; from the floor of the temple up to the rafters of the ceiling he covered them with wood on the inside. He also covered the floor of the temple with cypress boards.
殿里面用香柏木板贴墙, 从地到棚顶都用木板遮蔽, 又用松木板铺地.

6:16 He built twenty cubits from the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor up to the ceiling, and he built for it an inner sanctuary on the inside, as the most holy place.
内殿, 就是至圣所, 长二十肘, 从地到棚顶用香柏木板遮蔽(或译: 隔断).

6:17 The main hall of the temple was forty cubits in front of the inner sanctuary,
内殿前的外殿, 长四十肘.

6:18 with the cedar within the inner house having carvings of gourds and buds of flowers. It was entirely of cedar; there was not a stone visible.
殿里一点石头都不显露, 一概用香柏木遮蔽; 上面刻著野瓜和初开的花.

6:19 Now in the inner sanctuary in the middle of the temple he prepared the inside to place the ark of the covenant of Yahweh there.
殿里预备了内殿, 好安放耶和华的约柜.

6:20 In front, the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure gold and covered the altar with cedar.
内殿长二十肘, 宽二十肘, 高二十肘, 墙面都贴上精金; 又用香柏木做坛, 包上精金.

6:21 Solomon overlaid the temple on the inside with pure gold, and he drew across it with golden chains in front of the inner sanctuary, which he overlaid with gold.
所罗门用精金贴了殿内的墙, 又用金链子挂在内殿前门扇, 用金包裹.

6:22 All of the temple he overlaid with gold until all of the temple was finished; all of the altar which belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
全殿都贴上金子, 直到贴完; 内殿前的坛, 也都用金包裹.

6:23 He made two cherubim of olive wood for the inner sanctuary, ten cubits high.
他用橄榄木做两个基路伯, 各高十肘, 安在内殿.

6:24 Five cubits was the first wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub, from the tip of his one wing up to the tip of his other wing.
这一个基路伯有两个翅膀, 各长五肘, 从这翅膀尖到那翅膀尖共有十肘;

6:25 The second cherub was ten cubits according to the same measurement, and there was one shape for the two cherubim.
那一个基路伯的两个翅膀也是十肘, 两个基路伯的尺寸,形像都是一样.

6:26 The height of the first cherub was ten cubits and so was the second cherub.
这基路伯高十肘, 那基路伯也是如此.

6:27 He placed the cherubim in the middle of the inner house, and they spread out the wings of the cherubim; the wing of the first cherub touched against the wall and the wing of the second cherub was touching against the second wall; their wings spread to the middle of the house and were touching wing to wing.
他将两个基路伯安在内殿里; 基路伯的翅膀是张开的, 这基路伯的一个翅膀挨著这边的墙, 那基路伯的一个翅膀挨著那边的墙, 里边的两个翅膀在殿中间彼此相接;

6:28 He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.
又用金子包裹二基路伯.

6:29 On all of the walls around the house, he carved engravings of cherubim and palm tree images and budding flowers both inside and out.
内殿,外殿周围的墙上都刻著基路伯,棕树, 和初开的花.

6:30 He overlaid the floor of the house with gold both inside and out.
内殿,外殿的地板都贴上金子.

6:31 He made doors of olive wood for the doorway of the inner sanctuary, as well as for the doorpost of the fifth doorframe.
又用橄榄木制造内殿的门扇,门楣,门框; 门口有墙的五分之一.

6:32 On the two doors of olive wood he made carvings of cherubim and palm tree images and budding flowers, and he overlaid them with gold by beating out the gold on the cherubim and the palm tree images.
在橄榄木做的两门扇上刻着基路伯,棕树, 和初开的花, 都贴上金子.

6:33 Thus he made doorframes of olive wood on four sides for the doorway of the main hall
又用橄榄木制造外殿的门框, 门口有墙的四分之一.

6:34 and two doors of cypress wood; one door with two folding panels and the second door with two folding panels.
用松木做门两扇. 这扇分两扇, 是折叠的; 那扇分两扇, 也是折叠的.

6:35 He carved cherubim and palm tree images and budding flowers and overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the carved work.
上面刻着基路伯,棕树, 和初开的花, 都用金子贴了.

6:36 Then he built the inner courtyard with three rows of dressed stone and a row of cedar beams.
他又用凿成的石头三层,香柏木一层建筑内院.

6:37 In the fourth year, the house of Yahweh was founded in the month of Ziv.
所罗门在位第四年西弗月, 立了耶和华殿的根基.

6:38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, that is, the eighth month, the house was finished according to all his specifications and according to all his plans. He had built it in seven years.
到十一年布勒月, 就是八月, 殿和一切属殿的都按著样式造成. 他建殿的工夫共有七年.

I Kings - Chapter 7

7:1 Solomon built his house over thirteen years, and he finished all of his house.
所罗门为自己建造宫室, 十三年方才造成;

7:2 He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; one hundred cubits its length, fifty cubits its width, and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars and cedar beams atop the pillars.
又建造黎巴嫩林宫, 长一百肘, 宽五十肘, 高三十肘, 有香柏木柱三(原文是四)行, 柱上有香柏木柁梁.

7:3 It was covered with cedar above, and the supporting beams which were on the forty-five pillars, fifteen to the row.
其上以香柏木为盖, 每行柱子十五根, 共有四十五根.

7:4 There were three rows of specially designed windows; with window to window three times.
有窗户三层, 窗与窗相对.

7:5 All of the doorways and the doorframes had four-sided casings, with opening to opposite opening three times.
所有的门框都是厚木见方的, 有窗户三层, 窗与窗相对.

7:6 The hall of pillars he made fifty cubits in its length and thirty cubits in its width, and a porch was in front of them, with pillars and an overhang in front of them.
并建造有柱子的廊子, 长五十肘, 宽三十肘; 在这廊前又有廊子, 廊外有柱子和台阶.

7:7 He made the hall of the throne where he would pronounce judgment, the hall of justice, and it was covered with cedar from the floor to the rafters.
又建造一廊, 其中设立审判的座位, 这廊从地到顶都用香柏木遮蔽.

7:8 His house where he would live in the next courtyard on the inside of the porch was like this work, and he would make a house like this porch for the daughter of Pharaoh whom Solomon had taken as wife.
廊后院内有所罗门住的宫室; 工作与这工作相同. 所罗门又为所娶法老的女儿建造一宫, 做法与这廊子一样.

7:9 All of these were of precious stones, according to the measurement of dressed stone, sawn with a saw on all sides; from the foundation up to the eaves and from the outside up to the great courtyard.
建造这一切所用的石头都是宝贵的, 是按著尺寸凿成的, 是用锯里外锯齐的; 从根基直到檐石, 从外头直到大院, 都是如此.

7:10 The foundation was of precious stones, and large stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits
根基是宝贵的大石头, 有长十肘的, 有长八肘的;

7:11 with precious stones above, just the right size, and cedar.
上面有香柏木和按著尺寸凿成宝贵的石头.

7:12 The great courtyard all around had three rows of dressed stones and a row of cedar beams; for both the courtyard of the inner house of Yahweh and for the porch of the house.
大院周围有凿成的石头三层,香柏木一层, 都照耶和华殿的内院和殿廊的样式.

7:13 King Solomon invited and received Hiram from Tyre.
所罗门王差遣人往泰尔去, 将户兰召了来.

7:14 He was the son of a widow woman from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, an artisan of bronze. He was filled with wisdom and with ability and with the knowledge to do all the work with the bronze. And he came to King Solomon, and he did all of his work.
他是拿弗他利支派中一个寡妇的儿子, 他父亲是泰尔人, 作铜匠的. 户兰满有智慧,聪明,技能, 善于各样铜作. 他来到所罗门王那里, 做王一切所要做的.

7:15 He cast the two pillars out of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of the first, and a cord of twelve cubits would encircle the second pillar.
他制造两根铜柱, 每根高十八肘, 围十二肘;

7:16 He made two capitals to place on the tops of the pillars out of molten bronze; the first capital was five cubits in height, and the second capital was five cubits in height.
又用铜铸了两个柱顶安在柱上, 各高五肘.

7:17 A network of latticework and wreaths of chainwork with small chains were for the capitals which were on top of the pillars; seven for the first capital and seven for the second capital.
柱顶上有装修的网子和拧成的炼索, 每顶七个.

7:18 He also made the pillars with two rows around on the lattice, each to cover the capitals which were on top, out of the pomegranate-shaped ornaments, and thus he did for the second capital as well.
网子周围有两行石榴遮盖柱顶, 两个柱顶都是如此.

7:19 And on the capitals which were on top of the pillars in the porch were works of lilies four cubits high.
廊子的柱顶径四肘, 刻着百合花.

7:20 And capitals were on the two pillars above near the bulging section which was beside the lattice, and two hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments were in rows all around on the second capital.
两柱顶的鼓肚上挨着网子, 各有两行石榴环绕, 两行共有二百.

7:21 He set up the pillars for the porch of the main hall; he erected the pillar on the right and called its name Jakin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz.
他将两根柱子立在殿廊前头: 右边立一根, 起名叫雅斤; 左边立一根, 起名叫波阿斯.

7:22 On the top of the pillars was a work of lilies; and so the work of the pillars was finished.
在柱顶上刻着百合花. 这样, 造柱子的工就完毕了.

7:23 He also made the molten sea, ten cubits in diameter, and five cubits was its height. A measuring line of thirty cubits would encircle it all around.
他又铸一个铜海, 样式是圆的, 高五肘, 径十肘, 围三十肘.

7:24 Gourds were under its rim surrounding it all around; ten to the cubit, surrounding the sea all around with two rows of gourds, which were cast when he cast the metal.
在海边之下, 周围有野瓜的样式; 每肘十瓜, 共有两行, 是铸海的时候铸上的.

7:25 The sea was standing on twelve oxen, with three facing to the north, three facing to the west, three facing to the south, and three facing to the east. The sea was on top of them, with all of their hindquarters turned to the inside.
有十二只铜牛驮海: 三只向北, 三只向西, 三只向南, 三只向东; 海在牛上, 牛尾都向内.

7:26 Its thickness was a handbreadth, but its rim was as the work on the brim of a cup, like the bud of a lily; it held two thousand baths.
海厚一掌, 边如杯边, 又如百合花, 可容二千罢特.

7:27 He made the ten stands of bronze; each stand was four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits in height.
他用铜制造十个盆座, 每座长四肘, 宽四肘, 高三肘.

7:28 Now this was the construction of the stands: there were frames for them and frames between the crossbars,
座的造法是这样: 四面都有心子, 心子在边子当中,

7:29 and on the frames which were between the crossbars were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the crossbars both above and beneath the lions and oxen were works of cascading wreaths.
心子上有狮子和牛, 并基路伯; 边上有小座, 狮子和牛以下有垂下的璎珞.

7:30 There were four bronze wheels for each of the stands, with bronze axles; the four support pedestals for these were under the basin, and the supports were decorated on each side with wreaths.
每盆座有四个铜轮和铜轴. 小座的四角上在盆以下, 有铸成的盆架, 其旁都有璎珞.

7:31 Its opening from the inside of the capital and above was a cubit; its pedestal was a round work of a cubit and a half; moreover, on its opening were the carvings with four-sided frames, not circular.
小座高一肘, 口是圆的, 仿佛座的样式, 径一肘半, 在口上有雕工, 心子是方的, 不是圆的.

7:32 Four of the wheels were underneath the frames, and the axles of the wheels were on the stands. The height of each wheel was a cubit and a half.
四个轮子在心子以下, 轮轴与座相连, 每轮高一肘半.

7:33 The construction of the wheel was like the construction of the wheel of the chariot; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their naves were all cast.
轮的样式如同车轮; 轴,辋,辐,毂都是铸的.

7:34 The four supports were the four corners of each stand, with the stand supporting it.
每座四角上都有盆架, 是与座一同铸成的.

7:35 On top of the stand was half a cubit deep, circular all around, and on the top of the stand were its supports and its frames.
座上有圆架, 高半肘; 座上有撑子和心子, 是与座一同铸的.

7:36 He engraved on the plates, on its supports, and on its frame cherubim, lions and images of a palm tree, according to the space for each, with wreaths all around.
在撑子和心子上刻着基路伯,狮子, 和棕树, 周围有璎珞.

7:37 He made the ten stands like this in one cast, with the same measurement and shape for each of them.
十个盆座都是这样, 铸法,尺寸,样式相同.

7:38 He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths; each basin was four cubits, one basin on each of the ten stands.
又用铜制造十个盆, 每盆可容四十罢特. 盆径四肘, 在那十座上, 每座安设一盆.

7:39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the house and five on the north side of the house, and the sea he set on the southeast side of the house.
五个安在殿门的右边, 五个放在殿门的左边; 又将海放在殿门的右旁, 就是南边.

7:40 Hiram also made the basins and the shovels and the bowls for drinking wine; and so Hiram finished doing all of the work that he was to do for King Solomon in the house of Yahweh:
户兰又造了盆,铲子, 和盘子. 这样, 他为所罗门王做完了耶和华殿的一切工.

7:41 the two pillars and the bowls of the capitals which were atop the two pillars, and the two lattice works to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were atop the pillars;
所造的就是: 两根柱子和柱上两个如球的顶; 并两个盖柱顶的网子;

7:42 and the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the two lattice works, the two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments for each latticework to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the surface of the pillars;
和四百石榴, 安在两个网子上, 每网两行, 盖著两个柱上如球的顶;

7:43 and the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;
十个座和其上的十个盆;

7:44 and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea;
海和海下的十二只牛;

7:45 and the pots, the shovels, and the bowls for drinking wine. All the vessels of the tent which Hiram had made for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh were polished bronze.
盆,铲子,盘子. 这一切都是户兰给所罗门王用光亮的铜为耶和华的殿造成的,

7:46 The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan with the casting mold set in the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
是遵王命在约旦平原,疏割和撒拉但中间藉胶泥铸成的.

7:47 Solomon left all of the vessels unweighed because of their very great abundance, so the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
这一切所罗门都没有过秤; 因为甚多, 铜的轻重也无法可查.

7:48 Solomon also made all of the vessels which were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the presence;
所罗门又造耶和华殿里的金坛和陈设饼的金桌子;

7:49 as well as the five lampstands of beaten gold at the south and five lampstands at the north before the presence of the inner sanctuary, with the flower-shaped ornaments, the lamps, and the pair of tongs all of gold.
内殿前的精金灯台: 右边五个, 左边五个, 并其上的金花,灯盏,蜡剪,

7:50 The cups, the snuffers, the bowls for drinking wine, the bowls for the incense, and the firepans were made from beaten gold; the facades for the doors of the inner house, for the most holy place, for the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
与精金的杯,盘,镊子,调羹,火鼎, 以及至圣所,内殿的门枢, 和外殿的门枢.

7:51 When all of the work which king Solomon did on the house of Yahweh was completed, Solomon brought out the holy objects of his father David, the silver and the gold and the vessels, which he put in the treasury rooms of the house of Yahweh.
所罗门王做完了耶和华殿的一切工, 就把他父大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿都带来放在耶和华殿的府库里.

I Kings - Chapter 8

8:1 At that time, Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families of the Israelites before King Solomon, in order to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, that is, Zion.
那时, 所罗门将以色列的长老和各支派的首领, 并以色列的族长, 招聚到耶路撒冷, 要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城─就是锡安─运上来.

8:2 All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the festival in the month of Ethnaim, that is, the seventh month.
以他念月, 就是七月, 在节前, 以色列人都聚集到所罗门王那里.

8:3 All the elders of Israel came, and the priests carried the ark.
以色列长老来到, 祭司便抬起约柜,

8:4 So they brought up the ark of Yahweh and the tent of assembly and all of the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.
祭司和利未人将耶和华的约柜运上来, 又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来.

8:5 King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel who were assembling with him in the presence of the ark were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered because of abundance.
所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众, 一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭, 多得不可胜数.

8:6 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim,
祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿, 就是至圣所, 放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下.

8:7 for the cherubim were spreading their wings over the place of the ark. The cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles from above.
基路伯张著翅膀在约柜之上, 遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠.

8:8 The poles were long, and the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from the outside, and they are there until this day.
这杠甚长, 杠头在内殿前的圣所可以看见, 在殿外却不能看见, 直到如今还在那里.

8:9 There was not anything in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses had placed there at Horeb, where Yahweh made a covenant with the Israelites after they went out from the land of Egypt.
约柜里惟有两块石版, 就是以色列人出埃及地后, 耶和华与他们立约的时候摩西在何烈山所放的. 除此以外, 并无别物.

8:10 When the priests went out from the holy place, the cloud filled the house of Yahweh.
祭司从圣所出来的时候, 有云充满耶和华的殿;

8:11 The priests were not able to stand to minister because of the presence of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.
甚至祭司不能站立供职, 因为耶和华的荣光充满了殿.

8:12 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the very thick cloud.
那时所罗门说: 耶和华曾说, 他必住在幽暗之处.

8:13 I have certainly built a lofty house for you, a place for you to live forever.”
我已经建造殿宇作你的居所, 为你永远的住处.

8:14 Then the king turned his face around, and he blessed all of the assembly of Israel. (Now all the assembly of Israel was standing).
王转脸为以色列会众祝福, 以色列会众就都站立.

8:15 Then he said, “Blessed be Yahweh the God of Israel who has promised with his mouth to David my father and fulfilled by his oath, saying,
所罗门说: “耶和华─以色列的神是应当称颂的! 因他亲口向我父大卫所应许的, 也亲手成就了.

8:16 ‘From the day that I brought out my people Israel from Egypt I have not chosen a city from all the tribes of Israel to build a house where my name might be, but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
他说: ‘自从我领我民以色列出埃及以来, 我未曾在以色列各支派中选择一城建造殿宇─为我名的居所, 但拣选大卫治理我民以色列. ’”

8:17 David my father desired to build a house for the name of Yahweh the God of Israel,
所罗门说: “我父大卫曾立意, 要为耶和华─以色列神的名建殿.

8:18 but Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Because you desired to build a house for my name, you did well in that it was within your heart.
耶和华却对我父大卫说: ‘你立意为我的名建殿, 这意思甚好.

8:19 However, you will not build the house, but your son who has come from your loins, he shall build the house for my name.’
只是你不可建殿, 惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿. ’

8:20 Yahweh has carried out his promise which he had made; I have risen in place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel as Yahweh promised, and I have built the house for the name of Yahweh the God of Israel.
现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话, 使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位, 又为耶和华─以色列神的名建造了殿.

8:21 I have provided a place there for the ark, in which is the covenant which Yahweh made with our ancestors when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
我也在其中为约柜预备一处. 约柜内有耶和华的约, 就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候, 与他们所立的约. ”

8:22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all of the assembly of Israel, and he spread out his hands to the heavens,
所罗门当着以色列会众, 站在耶和华的坛前, 向天举手说:

8:23 and he said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no god like you in the heavens above or on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the loyal love for your servants who are walking before you with all their heart.
“耶和华─以色列的神啊, 天上地下没有神可比你的! 你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱;

8:24 You have kept for your servant David my father what you promised to him, and you have spoken with your mouth, and with your hand you have fulfilled it this very day.
向你仆人─我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了. 你亲口应许, 亲手成就, 正如今日一样.

8:25 So then, O Yahweh, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father what you promised to him, saying, ‘For you, no man will be cut off from before me who will be sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons keep their ways to walk before me just as you have walked before me.’
耶和华─以色列的神啊, 你所应许你仆人─我父大卫的话说: ‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为, 在我面前行事像你所行的一样, 就不断人坐以色列的国位. ’现在求你应验这话.

8:26 So then, O God of Israel, please let your word be confirmed which you have promised to your servant David my father.
以色列的神啊, 求你成就向你仆人─我父大卫所应许的话.

8:27 For will God really dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens could not contain you! How could this house that I have built?
“神果真住在地上吗? 看哪, 天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的, 何况我所建的这殿呢?

8:28 You must regard the prayer of your servant and his plea! O Yahweh my God, listen to the pleading and to the prayer that your servant is praying before you this day,
惟求耶和华─我的神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求, 俯听仆人今日在你面前的祈祷呼吁.

8:29 so that your eyes will be open to this house night and day, to the place which you said, ‘My name will be there,’ to hear the prayer that your servant prays toward this place.
愿你昼夜看顾这殿, 就是你应许立为你名的居所; 求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话.

8:30 You must listen to the plea of your servant and your people Israel which they pray toward this place; and you must hear from the place where you live, from heaven you must hear and you must forgive.
你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候, 求你在天上你的居所垂听, 垂听而赦免.

8:31 If a man sins against his neighbor and he pronounces an oath against him to curse him, and the curse comes before your altar in this house,
“人若得罪邻舍, 有人叫他起誓, 他来到这殿在你的坛前起誓,

8:32 then you shall hear in heaven and you shall act and you shall judge your servant, to declare the wicked guilty by bringing his way upon his head and to declare the righteous innocent by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
求你在天上垂听, 判断你的仆人: 定恶人有罪, 照他所行的报应在他头上; 定义人有理, 照他的义赏赐他.

8:33 When your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they sinned against you, and when they turn to you and confess your name and pray and beg for mercy from you in this house,
“你的民以色列若得罪你, 败在仇敌面前, 又归向你, 承认你的名, 在这殿里祈求祷告,

8:34 then you shall hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and you shall bring them back to the ground which you gave to their ancestors.
求你在天上垂听, 赦免你民以色列的罪, 使他们归回你赐给他们列祖之地.

8:35 When you shut up the heavens so there is no rain because they have sinned against you, then they pray to this place and they confess your name and they return from their sin because you punished them,
“你的民因得罪你, 你惩罚他们, 使天闭塞不下雨; 他们若向此处祷告, 承认你的名, 离开他们的罪,

8:36 then you shall hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and your people Israel, for you will teach them the good way in which they should go, and you will give rain upon your land which you have given to your people as an inheritance.
求你在天上垂听, 赦免你仆人以色列民的罪, 将当行的善道指教他们, 且降雨在你的地, 就是你赐给你民为业之地.

8:37 If there should be in the land famine or disease, if there should be blight or mildew or locust or caterpillars, if it happens that his enemy lays siege against him in the land of his gates, if any plague or any disease,
“国中若有饥荒,瘟疫,旱风,霉烂,蝗虫,蚂蚱, 或有仇敌犯境围困城邑, 无论遭遇甚么灾祸疾病,

8:38 any prayer or any plea which is offered by any person for all of your people Israel, who each knows the infestation of his own heart and spreads out his palms to this house,
你的民以色列, 或是众人, 或是一人, 自觉有罪(原文是灾), 向这殿举手, 无论祈求甚么, 祷告甚么,

8:39 then you shall hear in heaven the place of your dwelling, and you shall forgive and act and give to the man whose heart you know, according to all his ways, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of man.
求你在天上你的居所垂听赦免. 你是知道人心的, 要照各人所行的待他们(惟有你知道世人的心),

8:40 Do these things so that they may fear you all the days that they live on the face of the land that you gave to our ancestors.
使他们在你赐给我们列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你.

8:41 Also for the foreigner who is not from your people Israel, and he comes from a distant land because of your name,
“论到不属你民以色列的外邦人, 为你名从远方而来,

8:42 (for they shall hear of your great name and your powerful hand and your outstretched arm), and he shall come and pray toward this house,
(他们听人论说你的大名和大能的手, 并伸出来的膀臂)向这殿祷告,

8:43 you shall hear in heaven, the place of your dwelling, and act according to all that the foreigner calls to you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you as your people Israel, and to know that your name has been invoked over this house that I have built.
求你在天上你的居所垂听, 照着外邦人所祈求的而行, 使天下万民都认识你的名, 敬畏你像你的民以色列一样; 又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的.

8:44 If your people go out to battle against his enemy in the way that you shall send them and they pray to Yahweh, toward the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,
“你的民若奉你的差遣, 无论往何处去与仇敌争战, 向耶和华所选择的城与我为你名所建造的殿祷告,

8:45 then you shall hear in heaven their prayer and their plea, and you shall vindicate them.
求你在天上垂听他们的祷告祈求, 使他们得胜.

8:46 “If they sin against you (for there is not a person who does not sin) and you are angry with them and you give them to an enemy and they take them captive to the land of the enemy far or near,
“你的民若得罪你(世上没有不犯罪的人), 你向他们发怒, 将他们交给仇敌掳到仇敌之地, 或远或近,

8:47 and then they return their heart in the land where they have been taken captive and they return and plead to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and we did wrong. We acted wickedly,’
他们若在掳到之地想起罪来, 回心转意, 恳求你说: ‘我们有罪了, 我们悖逆了, 我们作恶了’;

8:48 if they return to you with all of their heart and with all of their soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive and they pray to you toward their land which you gave to their ancestors, the city that you have chosen and the house that you built for your name,
他们若在掳到之地尽心尽性归服你, 又向自己的地, 就是你赐给他们列祖之地和你所选择的城, 并我为你名所建造的殿祷告,

8:49 then you shall hear in heaven, the place of your dwelling, their prayer and their plea, and you shall vindicate them.
求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求, 为他们伸冤;

8:50 You shall forgive your people who sinned against you, even for all their transgressions which they committed against you. You shall give them compassion before their captors so that they may have compassion on them,
饶恕得罪你的民, 赦免他们的一切过犯, 使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜恤.

8:51 for they are your people and your inheritance whom you brought from Egypt from the middle of the smelter of iron.
因为他们是你的子民, 你的产业, 是你从埃及领出来脱离铁炉的.

8:52 O, that your eyes may be open to the plea of your servant and to the plea of your people Israel, to listen to them in all things when they call to you.
愿你的眼目看顾仆人, 听你民以色列的祈求, 无论何时向你祈求, 愿你垂听.

8:53 For you have separated them for yourself as an inheritance from all the peoples of the earth, as you promised through the hand of Moses your servant when you brought out our ancestors from Egypt, my Lord Yahweh!”
主耶和华啊, 你将他们从地上的万民中分别出来作你的产业, 是照你领我们列祖出埃及的时候, 藉你仆人摩西所应许的话. ”

8:54 It happened that when Solomon finished praying to Yahweh all of the prayer and this plea, he got up from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling down on his knees with his palms outstretched to heaven.
所罗门在耶和华的坛前屈膝跪着, 向天举手, 在耶和华面前祷告祈求已毕, 就起来,

8:55 He stood and blessed all of the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
站着, 大声为以色列全会众祝福, 说:

8:56 “Blessed be Yahweh who gave a resting place to his people Israel. According to all that he promised, not one word has fallen from all of his promises concerning the good which he spoke through the hand of Moses his servant.
“耶和华是应当称颂的! 因为他照着一切所应许的赐平安给他的民以色列人, 凡藉他仆人摩西应许赐福的话, 一句都没有落空.

8:57 May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our ancestors, and may he not leave us or abandon us,
愿耶和华─我们的神与我们同在, 像与我们列祖同在一样, 不撇下我们, 不丢弃我们,

8:58 to incline our hearts toward him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his judgments which he commanded our ancestors.
使我们的心归向他, 遵行他的道, 谨守他吩咐我们列祖的诫命,律例,典章.

8:59 Let these my words which I pleaded before Yahweh be near to Yahweh our God, by day and by night, to maintain the justice of his servant and the justice of his people Israel as each day requires
我在耶和华面前祈求的这些话, 愿耶和华─我们的神昼夜垂念, 每日为他仆人与他民以色列伸冤,

8:60 so that all of the people of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God; there is none other.
使地上的万民都知道惟独耶和华是神, 并无别神.

8:61 Let your heart be completely with Yahweh our God by walking in his statutes, by keeping his commands as this day.”
所以你们当向耶和华─我们的神存诚实的心, 遵行他的律例, 谨守他的诫命, 至终如今日一样. ”

8:62 Then the king and all of Israel with him offered a sacrifice in the presence of Yahweh.
王和以色列众民一同在耶和华面前献祭.

8:63 Solomon sacrificed the fellowship offerings which he offered to Yahweh: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep; and the king and all of the Israelites dedicated the house of Yahweh.
所罗门向耶和华献平安祭, 用牛二万二千, 羊十二万. 这样, 王和以色列众民为耶和华的殿行奉献之礼.

8:64 On that day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard before the house of Yahweh because he offered there the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the fellowship offerings because the bronze altar that was in the presence of Yahweh was too small to hold the burnt offerings and the grain offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings.
当日, 王因耶和华殿前的铜坛太小, 容不下燔祭,素祭, 和平安祭牲的脂油, 便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣, 在那里献燔祭,素祭, 和平安祭牲的脂油.

8:65 Solomon held the festival at that time and all of Israel with him, a great assembly from Lebo Hamath up to the wadi of Egypt before Yahweh our God, for seven days and seven days, a total of fourteen days.
那时, 所罗门和以色列众人, 就是从哈马口直到埃及小河所有的以色列人, 都聚集成为大会, 在耶和华─我们的神面前守节七日又七日, 共十四日.

8:66 On the eighth day, he sent the people away, and they blessed the king, and they went to their tents rejoicing and in good spirits because of all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant and to Israel his people.
第八日, 王遣散众民; 他们都为王祝福. 因见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他民以色列所施的一切恩惠, 就都心中喜乐, 各归各家去了.

I Kings - Chapter 9

9:1 It happened that as Solomon finished the building of the house of Yahweh, the king’s house, and all the things Solomon desired to do,
所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫, 并一切所愿意建造的都完毕了,

9:2 Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him in Gibeon.
耶和华就二次向所罗门显现, 如先前在基遍向他显现一样,

9:3 Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your plea which you have made before me. I have consecrated this house which you have built, by putting my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
对他说: “你向我所祷告祈求的, 我都应允了. 我已将你所建的这殿分别为圣, 使我的名永远在其中; 我的眼,我的心也必常在那里.

9:4 As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep my ordinances and my judgments,
你若效法你父大卫, 存诚实正直的心行在我面前, 遵行我一切所吩咐你的, 谨守我的律例典章,

9:5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘A man will not be cut off for you from upon the throne of Israel.’
我就必坚固你的国位在以色列中, 直到永远, 正如我应许你父大卫说: ‘你的子孙必不断人坐以色列的国位. ’

9:6 “If ever you or any of your descendants turn from following me and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances that I have set before you and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
倘若你们和你们的子孙转去不跟从我, 不守我指示你们的诫命律例, 去事奉敬拜别神,

9:7 then I will cut Israel off from the face of the land that I have given to them, even the house which I have consecrated for my name I will cast away from my face; and Israel shall become a proverb and an object of taunting among all the peoples.
我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上剪除, 并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾, 使以色列人在万民中作笑谈, 被讥诮.

9:8 This house shall become a heap of ruins; all those passing by will be appalled by it and hiss, and they will say, ‘On what account did Yahweh do this to this land and to this house?’
这殿虽然甚高, 将来经过的人必惊讶,嗤笑, 说: ‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢? ’

9:9 And they will say, ‘Because they have forsaken Yahweh their God who brought their ancestors out from the land of Egypt and they embraced other gods and bowed down to them and served them. Therefore, Yahweh brought on them all of this disaster.’ ”
人必回答说: ‘是因此地的人离弃领他们列祖出埃及地之耶和华─他们的神, 去亲近别神, 事奉敬拜他, 所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们. ’”

9:10 It happened at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the house of the king,
所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫, 这两所二十年才完毕了.

9:11 since Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with wood of cedar and with wood of cypresses and with the gold according to all his desire, then King Solomon gave twenty cities in the land of the Galilee to Hiram.
泰尔王希兰曾照所罗门所要的, 资助他香柏木,松木, 和金子; 所罗门王就把加利利地的二十座城给了希兰.

9:12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they were not right in his eyes.
希兰从泰尔出来, 察看所罗门给他的城邑, 就不喜悦,

9:13 So he said, “What are these cities that you have given to me, my brother?” So they are called the land of Cabul until this day.
说: “我兄啊, 你给我的是甚么城邑呢? ”他就给这城邑之地起名叫迦步勒, 直到今日.

9:14 Then Hiram sent to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
希兰给所罗门一百二十他连得金子.

9:15 This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon conscripted to build the house of Yahweh and his house, the Millo, the walls of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
所罗门王挑取服苦的人, 是为建造耶和华的殿,自己的宫,米罗,耶路撒冷的城墙,夏琐,米吉多, 并基色.

9:16 Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer and burnt it with fire. He had also killed the Canaanites who were living in the city and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.
先前埃及王法老上来攻取基色, 用火焚烧, 杀了城内居住的迦南人, 将城赐给他女儿所罗门的妻作妆奁.

9:17 Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Lower Beth-Horon,
所罗门建造基色,下伯‧和仑,

9:18 as well as Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land;
巴拉, 并国中旷野里的达莫,

9:19 and he also built all of the storage cities which were Solomon’s, the cities for the chariots, the cities for the cavalry, and all of Solomon’s desire that he wanted to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion.
又建造所有的积货城, 并屯车和马兵的城, 与耶路撒冷,黎巴嫩, 以及自己治理的全国中所愿建造的.

9:20 All of the people who were remaining from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who were not of the Israelites,
至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的亚摩利人,赫人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人,

9:21 their children who remained after them in the land, whom the Israelites were not able to completely destroy, Solomon conscripted them for forced labor, until this very day.
就是以色列人不能灭尽的, 所罗门挑取他们的后裔作服苦的奴仆, 直到今日.

9:22 But from the Israelites Solomon did not make a slave, but they were the men of war, his officers, his commanders, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and his cavalry.
惟有以色列人, 所罗门不使他们作奴仆, 乃是作他的战士,臣仆,统领,军长,车兵长,马兵长.

9:23 These were the commanders of the overseers who were over the work for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, ruling over the people doing the work.
所罗门有五百五十督工的, 监管工人.

9:24 As soon as the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house which he built for her, then he built the Millo.
法老的女儿从大卫城搬到所罗门为她建造的宫里. 那时, 所罗门才建造米罗.

9:25 Solomon sacrificed three times a year: burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar that he had built to Yahweh, and he offered incense with it before Yahweh; and so he completed the house.
所罗门每年三次在他为耶和华所筑的坛上献燔祭和平安祭, 又在耶和华面前的坛上烧香. 这样, 他建造殿的工程完毕了.

9:26 King Solomon also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
所罗门王在以东地红海边, 靠近以禄的以旬‧迦别制造船只.

9:27 Hiram sent his servants with the fleet of ships, sailors who knew the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
希兰差遣他的仆人, 就是熟悉泛海的船家, 与所罗门的仆人一同坐船航海.

9:28 They went to Ophir and imported from there four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and they brought it to King Solomon.
他们到了俄斐, 从那里得了四百二十他连得金子, 运到所罗门王那里.

I Kings - Chapter 10

10:1 Now the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon regarding the name of Yahweh, and she came to test him with hard questions.
示巴女王听见所罗门因耶和华之名所得的名声, 就来要用难解的话试问所罗门.

10:2 So she came to Jerusalem with very great wealth; with camels carrying spices, very much gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon, and she spoke to him all that was on her heart.
跟随她到耶路撒冷的人甚多, 又有骆驼驮著香料,宝石, 和许多金子. 她来见了所罗门王, 就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来.

10:3 Solomon answered all of her questions; there was not a thing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her.
所罗门王将她所问的都答上了, 没有一句不明白,不能答的.

10:4 When the queen of Sheba observed all the wisdom of Solomon and the house which he had built,
示巴女王见所罗门大有智慧, 和他所建造的宫室,

10:5 the food of his table, the seat of his servants, the manner of his servants and their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered in the house of Yahweh, she was breathless.
席上的珍馐美味, 群臣分列而坐, 仆人两旁侍立, 以及他们的衣服装饰和酒政的衣服装饰, 又见他上耶和华殿的台阶(或译: 他在耶和华殿里所献的燔祭), 就诧异得神不守舍;

10:6 Then she said to the king, “The report which I heard in my land was true concerning your accomplishments and your wisdom.
对王说: “我在本国里所听见论到你的事和你的智慧实在是真的!

10:7 I had not believed the report to be true until I came and my eyes had seen, and behold! The half had not been told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I had heard.
我先不信那些话, 及至我来亲眼见了才知道人所告诉我的还不到一半. 你的智慧和你的福分越过我所听见的风声.

10:8 Happy are your men and happy are these your servants who stand before you continually hearing your wisdom.
你的臣子,你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的!

10:9 May Yahweh your God be blessed, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel, because of the love of Yahweh for Israel forever, and he has made you king to execute justice and righteousness.”
耶和华─你的神是应当称颂的! 他喜悦你, 使你坐以色列的国位; 因为他永远爱以色列, 所以立你作王, 使你秉公行义. ”

10:10 Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, abundant spices, and precious stones. Spices as these did not come again in such abundance as that which the queen of Sheba brought to King Solomon.
于是, 示巴女王将一百二十他连得金子和宝石, 与极多的香料, 送给所罗门王. 她送给王的香料, 以后奉来的不再有这样多.

10:11 Moreover, the fleet of ships of Hiram which carried the gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir abundant amounts of almug wood and precious stones.
(希兰的船只从俄斐运了金子来, 又从俄斐运了许多檀香木(或译: 乌木; 下同)和宝石来.

10:12 The king made a raised structure for the house of Yahweh and for the house of the king out of the almug wood, as well as lyres and harps for the singers. This much almug wood has not come nor been seen again up to this day.
王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做栏杆, 又为歌唱的人做琴瑟. 以后再没有这样的檀香木进国来, 也没有人看见过, 直到如今. )

10:13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all of her desire that she asked, besides that which King Solomon freely offered her. Then she turned and went to her land with her servants.
示巴女王一切所要所求的, 所罗门王都送给她, 另外照自己的厚意餽送她. 于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了.

10:14 The weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得.

10:15 apart from that of the men of the traders and the profits of the traders, and all the kings of the Arabs and the governors of the land.
另外还有商人和杂族(杂族在历代下九章十四节是阿拉伯)的诸王, 与国中的省长所进的金子.

10:16 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold; six hundred measures of gold went up over each shield.
所罗门王用锤出来的金子打成挡牌二百面, 每面用金子六百舍客勒;

10:17 Also he made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went up over each of the small shields; and the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面, 每面用金子三弥那, 都放在黎巴嫩林宫里.

10:18 The king also made a large ivory throne, and he overlaid it with fine gold.
王用象牙制造一个宝座, 用精金包裹.

10:19 Six steps led up to the throne, and there was a circular top to the throne behind it, and armrests were on each side of the seat, with two lions standing beside the armrests.
宝座有六层台阶, 座的后背是圆的, 两旁有扶手, 靠近扶手有两个狮子站立.

10:20 Twelve lions were standing there, six on each of the six steps on either side; nothing like this was made for any of the kingdoms.
六层台阶上有十二个狮子站立, 每层有两个: 左边一个, 右边一个; 在列国中没有这样做的.

10:21 All of the drinking vessels of King Solomon were gold, and all the vessels for the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver; it was not considered as something valuable in the days of Solomon.
所罗门王一切的饮器都是金子的. 黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金的. 所罗门年间, 银子算不了甚么.

10:22 For the fleet of Tarshish belonged to the king and was on the sea with the fleet of Hiram; once every three years the fleet of Tarshish used to come carrying gold and silver, ivory, apes, and baboons.
因为王有他施船只与希兰的船只一同航海, 三年一次, 装载金银,象牙,猿猴,孔雀回来.

10:23 King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth with respect to wealth and wisdom.
所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王.

10:24 All of the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
普天下的王都求见所罗门, 要听神赐给他智慧的话.

10:25 They were each bringing his gift; objects of silver and objects of gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. This used to happen year after year.
他们各带贡物, 就是金器,银器,衣服,军械,香料,骡马, 每年有一定之例.

10:26 Solomon gathered chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses. He stationed them in the cities of the chariots and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门聚集战车马兵, 有战车一千四百辆, 马兵一万二千名, 安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷, 就是王那里.

10:27 The king made the silver in Jerusalem as the stones, and the cedars he made as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah in abundance.
王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头, 香柏木多如高原的桑树.

10:28 The import of the horses which were Solomon’s was from Egypt and from Kue; the traders of the king received horses from Kue at a price.
所罗门的马是从埃及带来的, 是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的.

10:29 A chariot went up and went out from Egypt at six hundred silver shekels and a horse at a hundred and fifty. So it was for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Aram; by their hand they were exported.
从埃及买来的车, 每辆价银六百舍客勒, 马每匹一百五十舍客勒. 赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马, 也是按这价值经他们手买来的.

I Kings - Chapter 11

11:1 King Solomon loved many foreign women: the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, Hittite;
所罗门王在法老的女儿之外, 又宠爱许多外邦女子, 就是摩押女子,亚扪女子,以东女子,西顿女子,赫人女子.

11:2 from the nations which Yahweh had said to the Israelites, “You shall not marry them, and they shall not marry you. They will certainly turn your heart after other gods.” But Solomon clung to them to love.
论到这些国的人, 耶和华曾晓谕以色列人说: “你们不可与她们往来相通, 因为她们必诱惑你们的心去随从她们的神. ”所罗门却恋爱这些女子.

11:3 He had seven hundred princesses and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart.
所罗门有妃七百, 都是公主; 还有嫔三百. 这些妃嫔诱惑他的心.

11:4 It happened at the time of Solomon’s old age that his wives guided his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully with Yahweh his God as the heart of David his father had been.
所罗门年老的时候, 他的妃嫔诱惑他的心去随从别神, 不效法他父亲大卫诚诚实实地顺服耶和华─他的神.

11:5 Solomon went after Ashtoreth the god of the Sidonians and after Molech the abhorrence of the Ammonites.
因为所罗门随从西顿人的女神亚斯她录和亚扪人可憎的神米勒公.

11:6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of Yahweh and did not fully follow after Yahweh as David his father.
所罗门行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 不效法他父亲大卫专心顺从耶和华.

11:7 At that time, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, on the mountain which faces Jerusalem and for Molech, the abomination of the Ammonites.
所罗门为摩押可憎的神基抹和亚扪人可憎的神摩洛, 在耶路撒冷对面的山上建筑邱坛.

11:8 Thus he did for all of his foreign wives, offering incense and sacrificing to their gods.
他为那些向自己的神烧香献祭的外邦女子, 就是他娶来的妃嫔也是这样行.

11:9 Yahweh was angry with Solomon, for he had turned his heart from Yahweh, the God of Israel who had appeared to him twice.
耶和华向所罗门发怒, 因为他的心偏离向他两次显现的耶和华─以色列的神.

11:10 And he had commanded him concerning this matter not to go after other gods, but he did not keep that which Yahweh commanded.
耶和华曾吩咐他不可随从别神, 他却没有遵守耶和华所吩咐的.

11:11 So Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this was with you, and you did not keep my covenant and my ordinances which I have commanded you, I will certainly tear the kingdom from you, and I will give it to your servant.
所以耶和华对他说: “你既行了这事, 不遵守我所吩咐你守的约和律例, 我必将你的国夺回, 赐给你的臣子.

11:12 However, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of David your father; from the hand of your son I will tear it away.
然而, 因你父亲大卫的缘故, 我不在你活着的日子行这事, 必从你儿子的手中将国夺回.

11:13 Yet all of the kingdom I will not tear away. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”
只是我不将全国夺回, 要因我仆人大卫和我所选择的耶路撒冷, 还留一支派给你的儿子. ”

11:14 Then Yahweh raised an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, from the descendants of that king in Edom.
耶和华使以东人哈达兴起, 作所罗门的敌人; 他是以东王的后裔.

11:15 It had happened that when David was at Edom, Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, and he killed every male in Edom.
先前大卫攻击以东, 元帅约押上去葬埋阵亡的人, 将以东的男丁都杀了.

11:16 For Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months until he exterminated every male in Edom.
约押和以色列众人在以东住了六个月, 直到将以东的男丁尽都剪除.

11:17 But Hadad himself had fled, and some Edomite men from the servants of his father with him, to go to Egypt, when Hadad was a young boy.
那时哈达还是幼童; 他和他父亲的臣仆, 几个以东人逃往埃及.

11:18 They had set out from Midian until they came to Paran where they took men from Paran with them and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. He gave to him a house and assigned food for him and gave him land.
他们从米甸起行, 到了巴兰; 从巴兰带著几个人来到埃及见埃及王法老; 法老为他派定粮食, 又给他房屋田地.

11:19 Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, and he gave him the sister of his wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen, as wife.
哈达在法老面前大蒙恩惠, 以致法老将王后答比匿的妹子赐他为妻.

11:20 The sister of Tahpenes bore Genubath his son for him, and Tahpenes weaned him in the middle of the house of Pharaoh. Genubath was in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the children of Pharaoh.
答比匿的妹子给哈达生了一个儿子, 名叫基努拔. 答比匿使基努拔在法老的宫里断奶, 基努拔就与法老的众子一同住在法老的宫里.

11:21 Now Hadad heard in Egypt that David had slept with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Send me away that I may go to my land.”
哈达在埃及听见大卫与他列祖同睡, 元帅约押也死了, 就对法老说: “求王容我回本国去. ”

11:22 Pharaoh said to him, “What do you lack with me that you now are seeking to go to your land?” He said, “No, but you must surely send me away.”
法老对他说: “你在我这里有甚么缺乏, 你竟要回你本国去呢? ”他回答说: “我没有缺乏甚么, 只是求王容我回去. ”

11:23 God had also raised Rezon the son of Eliada as an adversary against him, who had fled from Hadadezer the king of Zobah, his master.
神又使以利亚大的儿子利逊兴起, 作所罗门的敌人. 他先前逃避主人琐巴王哈大底谢.

11:24 He gathered men around him and he became the commander of bandits. When David killed some of them, they went to Damascus and settled there, and they reigned in Damascus.
大卫击杀琐巴人的时候, 利逊招聚了一群人, 自己作他们的头目, 往大马士革居住, 在那里作王.

11:25 He was an adversary for Israel all the days of Solomon, and along with the evil that Hadad did, he detested Israel while he reigned over Aram.
所罗门活着的时候, 哈达为患之外, 利逊也作以色列的敌人. 他恨恶以色列人, 且作了亚兰人的王.

11:26 Now Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah (now the name of his mother was Zeruah, a widow woman), a servant of Solomon rebelled against the king.
所罗门的臣仆,尼八的儿子耶罗波安也举手攻击王. 他是以法莲支派的洗利达人, 他母亲是寡妇, 名叫洗鲁阿.

11:27 This is the reason that he rebelled against the king: when Solomon built the Millo, he closed the gap of the city of David his father.
他举手攻击王的缘故, 乃由先前所罗门建造米罗, 修补他父亲大卫城的破口.

11:28 Now the man Jeroboam was a man of ability, and Solomon saw that the young man was a diligent worker, so he appointed him over all of the forced labor for the house of Joseph.
耶罗波安是大有才能的人. 所罗门见这少年人殷勤, 就派他监管约瑟家的一切工程.

11:29 It happened at that time that Jeroboam went out from Jerusalem, and he accidentally met Ahijah the Shilonite the prophet on the way. Now he had clothed himself with new clothing. While the two of them were alone in the field,
一日, 耶罗波安出了耶路撒冷, 示罗人先知亚希雅在路上遇见他; 亚希雅身上穿着一件新衣. 他们二人在田野, 以外并无别人.

11:30 Ahijah took hold of the new cloak which was on him and tore it into twelve pieces.
亚希雅将自己穿的那件新衣撕成十二片,

11:31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes,
对耶罗波安说: “你可以拿十片. 耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘我必将国从所罗门手里夺回, 将十个支派赐给你.

11:32 but one tribe shall be for him, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel;
(我因仆人大卫和我在以色列众支派中所选择的耶路撒冷城的缘故, 仍给所罗门留一个支派. )

11:33 because he has forsaken me, and they bowed down to Ashtoreth, the god of the Sidonians, to Chemosh, the god of Moab, and to Molech, the god of the Ammonites. They did not walk in my ways to do right in my eyes, my ordinances, or my judgments, as did David his father.
因为他离弃我, 敬拜西顿人的女神亚斯她录,摩押的神基抹, 和亚扪人的神米勒公, 没有遵从我的道, 行我眼中看为正的事, 守我的律例典章, 像他父亲大卫一样.

11:34 But I will not take all of the kingdom from his hand, but I will make him a leader all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my ordinances.
但我不从他手里将全国夺回; 使他终身为君, 是因我所拣选的仆人大卫谨守我的诫命律例.

11:35 But I will take the kingship from the hand of his son, and I will give ten tribes to you.
我必从他儿子的手里将国夺回, 以十个支派赐给你,

11:36 To his son I will give one tribe in order to be a lamp for my servant David, always before my face, in Jerusalem the city in which I have chosen to place my name.
还留一个支派给他的儿子, 使我仆人大卫在我所选择立我名的耶路撒冷城里, 在我面前长有灯光.

11:37 You I will take, and you shall reign over all your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
我必拣选你, 使你照心里一切所愿的, 作王治理以色列.

11:38 It shall be that if you listen to all that I command you and you walk in my ways and you do right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you, and I will build an enduring house for you as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
你若听从我一切所吩咐你的, 遵行我的道, 行我眼中看为正的事, 谨守我的律例诫命, 像我仆人大卫所行的, 我就与你同在, 为你立坚固的家, 像我为大卫所立的一样, 将以色列人赐给你.

11:39 I will punish the offspring of David on account of this; however, not always.’ ”
我必因所罗门所行的使大卫后裔受患难, 但不至于永远. ’”

11:40 Then Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam got up and fled to Egypt, to Shishak the king of Egypt, and he remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
所罗门因此想要杀耶罗波安. 耶罗波安却起身逃往埃及; 到了埃及王示撒那里, 就住在埃及, 直到所罗门死了.

11:41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon and all that he did and his wisdom; are they not written on the scroll of the acts of Solomon?
所罗门其余的事, 凡他所行的和他的智慧都写在所罗门记上.

11:42 All the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel were forty years.
所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年.

11:43 Then Solomon slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
所罗门与他列祖同睡, 葬在他父亲大卫的城里. 他儿子罗波安接续他作王.

I Kings - Chapter 12

12:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all of Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
罗波安往示剑去; 因为以色列人都到了示剑要立他作王.

12:2 It happened that Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it while he was still in Egypt where he had fled from the face of King Solomon, and Jeroboam had lived in Egypt.
尼八的儿子耶罗波安先前躲避所罗门王, 逃往埃及, 住在那里(他听见这事. )

12:3 So they sent and summoned him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came. Then they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
以色列人打发人去请他来, 他就和以色列会众都来见罗波安, 对他说:

12:4 “Your father made our yoke heavy; now lighten the hard labor of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.”
“你父亲使我们负重轭, 做苦工, 现在求你使我们做的苦工,负的重轭轻松些, 我们就事奉你. ”

12:5 He said, “Go up for three days and then return to me”; so the people went away.
罗波安对他们说: “你们暂且去, 第三日再来见我. ”民就去了.

12:6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the old men who had been serving before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, “How are you advising me to answer this people?”
罗波安之父所罗门在世的日子, 有侍立在他面前的老年人, 罗波安王和他们商议, 说: “你们给我出个甚么主意, 我好回覆这民. ”

12:7 They said to him, “If you will be a servant today to this people, then you will serve them; and if you answer them and speak good words to them, they will always be your servants.”
老年人对他说: “现在王若服事这民如仆人, 用好话回答他们, 他们就永远作王的仆人. ”

12:8 But he rejected the advice of the old men, which they gave him, and he consulted with the youngsters who had grown up with him, who were serving before him.
王却不用老年人给他出的主意, 就和那些与他一同长大,在他面前侍立的少年人商议,

12:9 He said to them, “What are you advising that we should reply to this people who spoke to me by saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us.’ ”
说: “这民对我说: ‘你父亲使我们负重轭, 求你使我们轻松些. ’你们给我出个甚么主意, 我好回覆他们. ”

12:10 Then the youngsters who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you: ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you lighten it for us,’ you shall say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
那同他长大的少年人说: “这民对王说: ‘你父亲使我们负重轭, 求你使我们轻松些. ’王要对他们如此说: ‘我的小拇指头比我父亲的腰还粗.

12:11 So then, my father loaded a heavy yoke on all of you, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions!’ ”
我父亲使你们负重轭, 我必使你们负更重的轭! 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我要用蝎子鞭责打你们! ’”

12:12 Jeroboam and all of the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had spoken: “Return to me on the third day.”
耶罗波安和众百姓遵著罗波安王所说“你们第三日再来见我”的那话, 第三日他们果然来了.

12:13 Then the king answered all the people harshly, as he had rejected the advice of the old men that they had offered.
王用严厉的话回答百姓, 不用老年人给他所出的主意,

12:14 He spoke to them according to the advice of the youngsters, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add onto your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.”
照着少年人所出的主意对民说: “我父亲使你们负重轭, 我必使你们负更重的轭! 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我要用蝎子鞭责打你们! ”

12:15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turning of events from Yahweh in order to fulfill his word which Yahweh had spoken through the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
王不肯依从百姓, 这事乃出于耶和华, 为要应验他藉示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话.

12:16 When all of Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, “What share do we have in David? There is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now look to your house, David!” Then Israel went to their tents.
以色列众民见王不依从他们, 就对王说: 我们与大卫有甚么分儿呢? 与耶西的儿子并没有关涉. 以色列人哪, 各回各家去吧! 大卫家啊, 自己顾自己吧! 于是, 以色列人都回自己家里去了,

12:17 The Israelites were living in the cities of Judah, and Rehoboam was reigning over them.
惟独住犹大城邑的以色列人, 罗波安仍作他们的王.

12:18 King Rehoboam sent Adoram who was over the forced labor, and all of Israel cast stones at him and he died, but King Rehoboam managed to get up on the chariot to flee to Jerusalem.
罗波安王差遣掌管服苦之人的亚多兰往以色列人那里去, 以色列人就用石头打死他. 罗波安王急忙上车, 逃回耶路撒冷去了.

12:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David until this day.
这样, 以色列人背叛大卫家, 直到今日.

12:20 It happened that just when all of Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all of Israel. Not one followed after the house of David except the tribe of Judah alone.
以色列众人听见耶罗波安回来了, 就打发人去请他到会众面前, 立他作以色列众人的王. 除了犹大支派以外, 没有顺从大卫家的.

12:21 When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all of the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand choice troops to fight with the house of Israel, to restore the kingship to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
罗波安来到耶路撒冷, 招聚犹大全家和便雅悯支派的人共十八万, 都是挑选的战士, 要与以色列家争战, 好将国夺回, 再归所罗门的儿子罗波安.

12:22 Then the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
但神的话临到神人示玛雅, 说:

12:23 “Say to Rehoboam the son of Solomon the king of Judah and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin and the remainder of the people, saying,
“你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安和犹大,便雅悯全家, 并其余的民说:

12:24 ‘Thus says Yahweh: “You shall not go up and you shall not fight with your brothers the Israelites. Return each of you to his house, for this thing was from me.” ’ ” So they heeded the word of Yahweh, and they returned to go home according to the word of Yahweh.
‘耶和华如此说: 你们不可上去与你们的弟兄以色列人争战. 各归各家去吧! 因为这事出于我. ’”众人就听从耶和华的话, 遵著耶和华的命回去了.

12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and he resided in it. Then he went out from there and built Penuel.
耶罗波安在以法莲山地建筑示剑, 就住在其中; 又从示剑出去, 建筑毘努伊勒.

12:26 Then Jeroboam said to himself, “Now the kingdom will return to the house of David
耶罗波安心里说: “恐怕这国仍归大卫家;

12:27 if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem. The heart of this people will return to their master Rehoboam the king of Judah, and they shall kill me and return to him.”
这民若上耶路撒冷去, 在耶和华的殿里献祭, 他们的心必归向他们的主─犹大王罗波安, 就把我杀了, 仍归犹大王罗波安. ”

12:28 And the king had decided, so he made two golden calves and he said to them, “You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”
耶罗波安王就筹划定妥, 铸造了两个金牛犊, 对众民说: “以色列人哪, 你们上耶路撒冷去实在是难; 这就是领你们出埃及地的神. ”

12:29 He put one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
他就把牛犊一只安在伯特利, 一只安在但.

12:30 This thing became a sin, and the people walked before the one as far as Dan.
这事叫百姓陷在罪里, 因为他们往但去拜那牛犊.

12:31 Then he built the houses on the high places, and he appointed priests from all walks of life who were not from the sons of Levi.
耶罗波安在邱坛那里建殿, 将那不属利未人的凡民立为祭司.

12:32 Jeroboam also inaugurated a religious feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like the religious feast which was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. Thus he did in Bethel, by sacrificing to the calves that he had made; and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
耶罗波安定八月十五日为节期, 像在犹大的节期一样, 自己上坛献祭. 他在伯特利也这样向他所铸的牛犊献祭, 又将立为邱坛的祭司安置在伯特利.

12:33 He offered sacrifices on the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month which his heart had devised. He inaugurated a religious feast for the Israelites, and he went up to the altar to offer incense.
他在八月十五日, 就是他私自所定的月日, 为以色列人立作节期的日子, 在伯特利上坛烧香.

I Kings - Chapter 13

13:1 Suddenly a man of God from Judah came to Bethel, by the word of Yahweh, while Jeroboam was standing at the altar to offer incense.
那时, 有一个神人奉耶和华的命从犹大来到伯特利. 耶罗波安正站在坛旁要烧香;

13:2 Then he proclaimed against the altar by the word of Yahweh and said, “O altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall burn on you.’ ”
神人奉耶和华的命向坛呼叫, 说: “坛哪, 坛哪! 耶和华如此说: 大卫家里必生一个儿子, 名叫约西亚, 他必将邱坛的祭司, 就是在你上面烧香的, 杀在你上面, 人的骨头也必烧在你上面. ”

13:3 He gave a sign on that day, saying, “This is the sign that Yahweh has predetermined: Look, this altar will be torn apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”
当日, 神人设个预兆, 说: “这坛必破裂, 坛上的灰必倾撒, 这是耶和华说的预兆. ”

13:4 It happened at the moment the king heard the word of the man of God that he cried out against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” But his hand which he stretched out to him was paralyzed, and he was not able to draw it back to himself.
耶罗波安王听见神人向伯特利的坛所呼叫的话, 就从坛上伸手, 说: “拿住他吧! ”王向神人所伸的手就枯干了, 不能弯回;

13:5 Then the altar was torn apart and the ashes from the altar poured out according to the sign which the man of God had announced by the word of Yahweh.
坛也破裂了, 坛上的灰倾撒了, 正如神人奉耶和华的命所设的预兆.

13:6 Then the king responded and said to the man of God, “Please entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me that my hand may return to me.” So the man of God entreated the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king returned to him, as it was in the beginning.
王对神人说: “请你为我祷告, 求耶和华─你神的恩典使我的手复原. ”于是神人祈祷耶和华, 王的手就复了原, 仍如寻常一样.

13:7 Then the king spoke to the man of God, “Come with me to the house and refresh yourself, that I may give you a gift.”
王对神人说: “请你同我回去吃饭, 加添心力, 我也必给你赏赐. ”

13:8 Then the man of God said to the king, “Even if you give to me half of your house I will not come with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water in this place,
神人对王说: “你就是把你的宫一半给我, 我也不同你进去, 也不在这地方吃饭喝水;

13:9 for the word of Yahweh has commanded me, saying, ‘You shall not eat bread nor drink water, and you shall not return on the way that you came.’ ”
因为有耶和华的话嘱咐我, 说不可在伯特利吃饭喝水, 也不可从你去的原路回来. ”

13:10 So he went another way, and he did not return by the way on which he had come to Bethel.
于是神人从别的路回去, 不从伯特利来的原路回去.

13:11 Now a certain older prophet was living in Bethel, and his son came and recounted to him all of the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel and the words he had spoken to the king, and they told them to their father.
有一个老先知住在伯特利, 他儿子们来, 将神人当日在伯特利所行的一切事和向王所说的话都告诉了父亲.

13:12 Then their father asked them, “Which way did he go?” His sons had seen the way which the man of God who had come from Judah had taken.
父亲问他们说: “神人从哪条路去了呢? ”儿子们就告诉他; 原来他们看见那从犹大来的神人所去的路.

13:13 Then he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
老先知就吩咐他儿子们说: “你们为我备驴. ”他们备好了驴, 他就骑上,

13:14 and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under the oak and said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
去追赶神人, 遇见他坐在橡树底下, 就问他说: “你是从犹大来的神人不是? ”他说: “是. ”

13:15 Then he said to him, “Come with me to the house and eat some food.”
老先知对他说: “请你同我回家吃饭. ”

13:16 Then he said, “I am not able to return with you or to go with you. I will not eat food nor will I drink water with you in this place.
神人说: “我不可同你回去进你的家, 也不可在这里同你吃饭喝水;

13:17 For a word came to me by the word of Yahweh, ‘You shall not eat food, nor shall you drink water there. You shall not return to go by the way that you came.’ ”
因为有耶和华的话嘱咐我说: ‘你在那里不可吃饭喝水, 也不可从你去的原路回来. ’”

13:18 Then he said, “I am also a prophet like you. An angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘Let him return with you to your house that he may eat food and drink water.’ ” He lied to him.
老先知对他说: “我也是先知, 和你一样. 有天使奉耶和华的命对我说: ‘你去把他带回你的家, 叫他吃饭喝水. ’”这都是老先知诓哄他.

13:19 So he returned with him and ate food in his house and drank water.
于是神人同老先知回去, 在他家里吃饭喝水.

13:20 Now it happened that they were sitting at the table, and the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back.
二人坐席的时候, 耶和华的话临到那带神人回来的先知,

13:21 He proclaimed to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because you have disobeyed the word of Yahweh and have not kept the command which Yahweh your God commanded you,
他就对那从犹大来的神人说: “耶和华如此说: 你既违背耶和华的话, 不遵守耶和华─你神的命令,

13:22 but you have returned and have eaten food and drank water in the place which he ordered you not to eat food nor to drink water, then your dead body shall not return to the tomb of your ancestors.’ ”
反倒回来, 在耶和华禁止你吃饭喝水的地方吃了喝了, 因此你的尸身不得入你列祖的坟墓. ”

13:23 It happened after he ate food and drank water that he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
吃喝完了, 老先知为所带回来的先知备驴.

13:24 When he left, a lion found him on the road and killed him, and his dead body was thrown on the road with the donkey standing beside it, and the lion was standing by the dead body.
他就去了, 在路上有个狮子遇见他, 将他咬死, 尸身倒在路上, 驴站在尸身旁边, 狮子也站在尸身旁边.

13:25 As men were passing by and they saw the dead body thrown in the road and the lion standing beside the dead body, they came and told it in the city where the old prophet was living.
有人从那里经过, 看见尸身倒在路上, 狮子站在尸身旁边, 就来到老先知所住的城里述说这事.

13:26 When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the mouth of Yahweh, and Yahweh has given him to the lion. He tore him in pieces and killed him according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken to him.”
那带神人回来的先知听见这事, 就说: “这是那违背了耶和华命令的神人, 所以耶和华把他交给狮子; 狮子抓伤他, 咬死他, 是应验耶和华对他说的话. ”

13:27 Then he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it.
老先知就吩咐他儿子们说: “你们为我备驴. ”他们就备了驴.

13:28 He went and found his dead body thrown in the road and a donkey with the lion standing beside it, but the lion had not eaten the corpse nor attacked the donkey.
他去了, 看见神人的尸身倒在路上, 驴和狮子站在尸身旁边, 狮子却没有吃尸身, 也没有抓伤驴.

13:29 So the prophet lifted up the corpse of the man of God and put it on the donkey and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn him and to bury him.
老先知就把神人的尸身驮在驴上, 带回自己的城里, 要哀哭他, 葬埋他;

13:30 He put his corpse in his tomb, and they mourned over him, “Alas, my brother!”
就把他的尸身葬在自己的坟墓里, 哀哭他, 说: “哀哉! 我兄啊. ”

13:31 It happened after he buried him that he said to his sons, “When I die, you shall bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; you shall lay my bones beside his bones.
安葬之后, 老先知对他儿子们说: “我死了, 你们要葬我在神人的坟墓里, 使我的尸骨靠近他的尸骨,

13:32 For surely, the thing which he proclaimed by the word of Yahweh against the altar which is in Bethel will happen, as it will against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria.”
因为他奉耶和华的命指著伯特利的坛和撒马利亚各城有邱坛之殿所说的话必定应验. ”

13:33 After this event, Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but he returned and again made priests for the high places of people from all walks of life. He filled his hand with all his desire and became one of the priests of the high places himself.
这事以后, 耶罗波安仍不离开他的恶道, 将凡民立为邱坛的祭司; 凡愿意的, 他都分别为圣, 立为邱坛的祭司.

13:34 This matter became sin in the house of Jeroboam, to make it disappear and to destroy it from the surface of the earth.
这事叫耶罗波安的家陷在罪里, 甚至他的家从地上除灭了.

I Kings - Chapter 14

14:1 At that time, Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill.
那时, 耶罗波安的儿子亚比雅病了.

14:2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself so that they will not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Look, Ahijah the prophet is there, and he spoke concerning me before I became king over this people.
耶罗波安对他的妻说: “你可以起来改装, 使人不知道你是耶罗波安的妻, 往示罗去, 在那里有先知亚希雅. 他曾告诉我说, 你必作这民的王.

14:3 You must take ten loaves of bread in your hand and cakes and a jar of honey, and you must go to him. He shall tell you what will happen to the boy.”
现在你要带十个饼, 与几个薄饼, 和一瓶蜜去见他, 他必告诉你儿子将要怎样. ”

14:4 The wife of Jeroboam did so. She got up, went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was not able to see, for his eyes were fixed because of his old age.
耶罗波安的妻就这样行, 起身往示罗去, 到了亚希雅的家. 亚希雅因年纪老迈, 眼目发直, 不能看见.

14:5 Then Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Look, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from you about her son, for he is ill. Thus and so you shall say to her. When she comes, she will be disguising herself.”
耶和华先晓谕亚希雅说: “耶罗波安的妻要来问你, 因她儿子病了, 你当如此如此告诉她. 她进来的时候必装作别的妇人. ”

14:6 It happened at the moment Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps coming through the doorway, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why are you making yourself unrecognizable? I have been sent a hard message for you:
她刚进门, 亚希雅听见她脚步的响声, 就说: “耶罗波安的妻, 进来吧! 你为何装作别的妇人呢? 我奉差遣将凶事告诉你.

14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: “Because I raised you from the midst of the people and I made you leader over my people Israel,
你回去告诉耶罗波安说: ‘耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我从民中将你高举, 立你作我民以色列的君,

14:8 I tore the kingdom from the house of David and I gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David who kept my commandments, and who went after me with all his heart, to do only what is right in my eyes.
将国从大卫家夺回赐给你; 你却不效法我仆人大卫, 遵守我的诫命, 一心顺从我, 行我眼中看为正的事.

14:9 But you did more evil than all who were before you. You have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten idols to provoke me, but me you have completely disregarded.
你竟行恶, 比那在你以先的更甚, 为自己立了别神, 铸了偶像, 惹我发怒, 将我丢在背后.

14:10 Therefore, look, I am about to bring disaster upon the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off males from Jeroboam, bond or free, in Israel. I will burn after the house of Jeroboam as one burns after the manure, until it is finished.
因此, 我必使灾祸临到耶罗波安的家, 将属耶罗波安的男丁, 无论困住的,自由的都从以色列中剪除, 必除尽耶罗波安的家, 如人除尽粪土一般.

14:11 He who dies for Jeroboam in the city, the dogs will eat. He who dies in the open field, the birds from the heavens will eat, for Yahweh has spoken it.” ’
凡属耶罗波安的人, 死在城中的必被狗吃, 死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃. 这是耶和华说的. ’

14:12 As for you, get up. Go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
所以你起身回家去吧! 你的脚一进城, 你儿子就必死了.

14:13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. This one alone will come to a tomb for Jeroboam, because a good thing has been found in him by Yahweh the God of Israel in the house of Israel.
以色列众人必为他哀哭, 将他葬埋. 凡属耶罗波安的人, 惟有他得入坟墓; 因为在耶罗波安的家中, 只有他向耶和华─以色列的神显出善行.

14:14 Yahweh will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will even now cut off the house of Jeroboam this day.
耶和华必另立一王治理以色列. 到了日期, 他必剪除耶罗波安的家; 那日期已经到了.

14:15 Yahweh will strike Israel as one shakes the reed plant in the water, and he will root Israel up from this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the River because they have made their sacred poles which are provoking Yahweh.
耶和华必击打以色列人, 使他们摇动, 像水中的芦苇一般; 又将他们从耶和华赐给他们列祖的美地上拔出来, 分散在大河那边; 因为他们做木偶, 惹耶和华发怒.

14:16 He will give up Israel because of the sin of Jeroboam which he sinned and which he caused Israel to sin.”
因耶罗波安所犯的罪, 又使以色列人陷在罪里, 耶和华必将以色列人交给仇敌. ”

14:17 Then the wife of Jeroboam got up, went, and came to Tirzah. As she was coming to the threshold of the house, the boy died.
耶罗波安的妻起身回去, 到了得撒, 刚到门槛, 儿子就死了.

14:18 They buried him and all of Israel mourned for him, according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
以色列众人将他葬埋, 为他哀哭, 正如耶和华藉他仆人先知亚希雅所说的话.

14:19 The remainder of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel.
耶罗波安其余的事, 他怎样争战, 怎样作王, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

14:20 The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years, and he slept with his ancestors. Then Nadab his son became king in place of him.
耶罗波安作王二十二年, 就与他列祖同睡. 他儿子拿答接续他作王.

14:21 Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which, from all of the tribes of Israel, Yahweh chose to place his name. And the name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonitess.
所罗门的儿子罗波安作犹大王. 他登基的时候年四十一岁, 在耶路撒冷, 就是耶和华从以色列众支派中所选择立他名的城, 作王十七年. 罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛, 是亚扪人.

14:22 But Judah did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and they annoyed him more than their fathers did with their sins that they had committed.
犹大人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 犯罪触动他的愤恨, 比他们列祖更甚.

14:23 They also built for themselves high places and stone pillars and sacred poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
因为他们在各高冈上, 各青翠树下筑坛, 立柱像和木偶.

14:24 There were also male shrine prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites.
国中也有娈童. 犹大人效法耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的外邦人, 行一切可憎恶的事.

14:25 It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
罗波安王第五年, 埃及王示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷,

14:26 and he took the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and he took all the treasures of the king’s house. He took the small gold shields that Solomon had made,
夺了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物, 尽都带走, 又夺去所罗门制造的金盾牌.

14:27 so King Rehoboam made small copper shields in place of them and entrusted them to the commanders of the royal guard who keep the doorway of the king’s house.
罗波安王制造铜盾牌代替那金盾牌, 交给守王宫门的护卫长看守.

14:28 Whenever the king came to the house of Yahweh, the royal guard carried them and brought them back to the alcove room of the royal guard.
王每逢进耶和华的殿, 护卫兵就拿这盾牌, 随后仍将盾牌送回, 放在护卫房.

14:29 The remainder of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
罗波安其余的事, 凡他所行的, 都写在犹大列王记上.

14:30 There was always war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
罗波安与耶罗波安时常争战.

14:31 Then Rehoboam slept with his ancestors, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son became king in his place.
罗波安与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里. 他母亲名叫拿玛, 是亚扪人. 他儿子亚比央(又名亚比雅)接续他作王.

在耶路撒冷作王三年. 他母亲名叫玛迦, 是押沙龙的女儿.

15:3 He walked in all the sins of his father that he had done before him, and his heart was not fully with Yahweh his God as the heart of David his father.
亚比央行他父亲在他以前所行的一切恶, 他的心不像他祖大卫的心, 诚诚实实地顺服耶和华─他的神.

15:4 For the sake of David, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by establishing his son after him and by causing Jerusalem to exist;
然而耶和华─他的神因大卫的缘故, 仍使他在耶路撒冷有灯光, 叫他儿子接续他作王, 坚立耶路撒冷.

15:5 because David did right in the eyes of Yahweh and he didn’t turn aside from all that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
因为大卫除了赫人乌利亚那件事, 都是行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 一生没有违背耶和华一切所吩咐的.

15:6 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
罗波安在世的日子常与耶罗波安争战.

15:10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

15:12 He put away the male shrine prostitutes from the land, and he removed all of the idols that his ancestors made.
从国中除去娈童, 又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像;

15:13 Also, he had Maacah his mother removed from the office of queen mother, as she had made a repulsive image for the Asherah. Asa also cut down her repulsive image and burned it in the Wadi Kidron.
并且贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位, 因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉. 亚撒砍下她的偶像, 烧在汲沦溪边,

15:14 But the high places he did not remove. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was completely with Yahweh all of his days.
只是邱坛还没有废去. 亚撒一生却向耶和华存诚实的心.

以色列王巴沙上来要攻击犹大, 修筑拉玛, 不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入.

15:18 Asa took all of the silver and gold remaining in the storerooms of the house of Yahweh and in the treasury rooms of the house of the king, and he gave them into the hand of his servants; so King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,
于是亚撒将耶和华殿和王宫府库里所剩下的金银都交在他臣仆手中, 打发他们往住大马士革的亚兰王─希旬的孙子,他伯利们的儿子便‧哈达那里去,

15:19 “Let there be a covenant between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel that he may go up away from me.”
说: “你父曾与我父立约, 我与你也要立约. 现在我将金银送你为礼物, 求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约, 使他离开我. ”

15:20 Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa, and he sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel and he attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, and all of Kinnereth, in addition to all the land of Naphtali.
便‧哈达听从亚撒王的话, 派军长去攻击以色列的城邑; 他们就攻破以云,但,亚伯‧伯‧玛迦,基尼烈全境,拿弗他利全境.

15:21 When Baasha heard, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah.
巴沙听见, 就停工不修筑拉玛了, 仍住在得撒.

15:22 Then King Asa proclaimed among all of Israel that there was no one free from obligation, so they carried the stones of Ramah and its wood with which Baasha had built, and King Asa rebuilt Geba in Benjamin with them, and the Mizpah.
于是亚撒王宣告犹大众人, 不准一个推辞, 吩咐他们将巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头,木头都运去, 用以修筑便雅悯的迦巴和米斯巴.

15:23 The remainder of the acts of Asa, all of his achievements, all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah? But at the time of his old age, he developed a foot disease.
亚撒其余的事, 凡他所行的, 并他的勇力与他所建筑的城邑, 都写在犹大列王记上. 亚撒年老的时候, 脚上有病.

在犹大王亚撒第三年巴沙杀了他, 篡了他的位.

15:29 It happened that as soon as he became king, he killed all of the house of Jeroboam. There was no one left of Jeroboam who breathed, until he had destroyed him according to the word of Yahweh that he had spoken by the hand of his servant, Ahijah the Shilonite,
巴沙一作王就杀了耶罗波安的全家, 凡有气息的没有留下一个, 都灭尽了, 正应验耶和华藉他仆人示罗人亚希雅所说的话.

15:30 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he had committed and that he had caused Israel to commit and because of his anger with which he had provoked Yahweh the God of Israel.
这是因为耶罗波安所犯的罪使以色列人陷在罪里, 惹动耶和华─以色列神的怒气.

16:1 The word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
耶和华的话临到哈拿尼的儿子耶户, 责备巴沙说:

16:2 “Because I exalted you from the dust and I made you a leader over my people Israel, but you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and you caused my people Israel to sin, to provoke me with their sins,
“我既从尘埃中提拔你, 立你作我民以色列的君, 你竟行耶罗波安所行的道, 使我民以色列陷在罪里, 惹我发怒,

16:3 I am now about to consume Baasha and his house. I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
我必除尽你和你的家, 使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家一样.

16:4 Those who die for Baasha in the city, the dogs will eat; those who die for him in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.”
凡属巴沙的人, 死在城中的必被狗吃, 死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃. ”

16:5 The remainder of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his powerful deeds, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
巴沙其余的事, 凡他所行的和他的勇力, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

16:6 Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.
巴沙与他列祖同睡, 葬在得撒. 他儿子以拉接续他作王.

16:7 Moreover, the word of Yahweh came to Baasha and to his house by the hand of Jehu the son of Hanani the prophet, because of all the evil that he did in the eyes of Yahweh by provoking him with the work of his hands, by being like the house of Jeroboam; and he destroyed him.
耶和华的话临到哈拿尼的儿子先知耶户, 责备巴沙和他的家, 因他行耶和华眼中看为恶的一切事, 以他手所做的惹耶和华发怒, 像耶罗波安的家一样, 又因他杀了耶罗波安的全家.

16:8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel for two years.
犹大王亚撒二十六年, 巴沙的儿子以拉在得撒登基作以色列王共二年.

16:9 His servant Zimri the commander of half of the chariots conspired against him. Now he had been in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza who was over the palace in Tirzah.
有管理他一半战车的臣子心利背叛他. 当他在得撒家宰亚杂家里喝醉的时候,

16:10 Zimri came and struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah and became king in his place.
心利就进去杀了他, 篡了他的位. 这是犹大王亚撒二十七年的事.

16:11 It happened that as soon as he became king, at the moment he sat on his throne, he killed all of the house of Baasha. He left no males among his kindred or any of his friends.
心利一坐王位就杀了巴沙的全家, 连他的亲属,朋友也没有留下一个男丁.

16:12 So Zimri destroyed all of the house of Baasha according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by the hand of Jehu the prophet
心利这样灭绝巴沙的全家, 正如耶和华藉先知耶户责备巴沙的话.

16:13 because of all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son which they committed and which they caused Israel to sin by provoking Yahweh the God of Israel with their idols.
这是因巴沙和他儿子以拉的一切罪, 就是他们使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪, 以虚无的神惹耶和华─以色列神的怒气.

16:14 The remainder of the acts of Elah and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
以拉其余的事, 凡他所行的, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

16:15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was encamping against Gibbethon which belonged to the Philistines.
犹大王亚撒二十七年, 心利在得撒作王七日. 那时民正安营围攻非利士的基比顿.

16:16 The encamping army heard that Zimri had conspired and moreover had killed the king, so they made Omri the commander of the army of Israel king over all Israel in the camp on that day.
民在营中听说心利背叛, 又杀了王, 故此以色列众人当日在营中立元帅暗利作以色列王.

16:17 Then Omri went up and all Israel with him from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.
暗利率领以色列众人, 从基比顿上去, 围困得撒.

心利见城破失, 就进了王宫的卫所, 放火焚烧宫殿, 自焚而死.

16:19 This happened because of his sin which he committed by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh, by going the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he did by causing Israel to sin.
这是因他犯罪, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 行耶罗波安所行的, 犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪.

16:20 The remainder of the acts of Zimri and his conspiracy which he made, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
心利其余的事和他背叛的情形都写在以色列诸王记上.

16:21 At that time, the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people went after Tibni the son of Ginath to make him king, and the other half went after Omri.
那时, 以色列民分为两半: 一半随从基纳的儿子提比尼, 要立他作王; 一半随从暗利.

16:22 The people who went after Omri overcame the people who went after Tibni the son of Ginath, so that he died and Omri became king.
但随从暗利的民胜过随从基纳的儿子提比尼的民. 提比尼死了, 暗利就作了王.

16:23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel for twelve years. He reigned in Tirzah six years,
犹大王亚撒三十一年, 暗利登基作以色列王共十二年; 在得撒作王六年.

16:24 then bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver, fortified the hill, and called the name of the city Samaria that he built after Shemer, the owner of the hill.
暗利用二他连得银子向撒玛买了撒马利亚山, 在山上造城, 就按著山的原主撒玛的名, 给所造的城起名叫撒马利亚.

16:25 But Omri did evil in the eyes of Yahweh more than all who were before him.
暗利行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 比他以前的列王作恶更甚.

16:26 He went in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and in his sins that he caused Israel to sin by provoking Yahweh the God of Israel with their idols.
因他行了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所行的, 犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪, 以虚无的神惹耶和华─以色列神的怒气.

16:27 The remainder of the acts of Omri that he did and his powerful deeds, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
暗利其余的事和他所显出的勇力都写在以色列诸王记上.

16:28 Omri slept with his ancestors, and he was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son became king in his place.
暗利与他列祖同睡, 葬在撒马利亚. 他儿子亚哈接续他作王.

16:29 Now Ahab son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
犹大王亚撒三十八年, 暗利的儿子亚哈登基作了以色列王. 暗利的儿子亚哈在撒马利亚作以色列王二十二年.

16:30 But Ahab son of Omri did evil in the eyes of Yahweh more than all who were before him.
暗利的儿子亚哈行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 比他以前的列王更甚,

16:31 If it wasn’t enough that he went after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he also took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal the king of the Sidonians. He went and served Baal and bowed down to him.
犯了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所犯的罪; 他还以为轻, 又娶了西顿王谒巴力的女儿耶洗别为妻, 去事奉敬拜巴力,

16:32 And he built an altar to Baal in the house of Baal which he had built in Samaria.
在撒马利亚建造巴力的庙, 在庙里为巴力筑坛.

16:33 Ahab also made the sacred pole, and he continued to provoke Yahweh the God of Israel more than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
亚哈又做亚舍拉, 他所行的惹耶和华─以色列神的怒气, 比他以前的以色列诸王更甚.

16:34 In his days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho; at the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his younger sibling, he set up its gates, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun.
亚哈在位的时候, 有伯特利人希伊勒重修耶利哥城; 立根基的时候, 丧了长子亚比兰; 安门的时候, 丧了幼子西割, 正如耶和华藉嫩的儿子约书亚所说的话.

I Kings - Chapter 17

17:1 Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, “As Yahweh lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command.”
基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说: “我指著所事奉永生耶和华─以色列的神起誓, 这几年我若不祷告, 必不降露, 不下雨. ”

17:2 Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
耶和华的话临到以利亚说:

17:3 “Go from this place and turn to the east; you must hide yourself in the Wadi Kerith which faces the Jordan.
“你离开这里往东去, 藏在约旦河东边的基立溪旁.

17:4 It shall be that you shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the crows to sustain you there.”
你要喝那溪里的水, 我已吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你. ”

17:5 So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh. He went and stayed in the Wadi Kerith which faces the Jordan.
于是以利亚照着耶和华的话, 去住在约旦河东的基立溪旁.

17:6 The crows were bringing bread and meat in the morning for him and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.
乌鸦早晚给他叼饼和肉来, 他也喝那溪里的水.

17:7 It happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
过了些日子, 溪水就干了, 因为雨没有下在地上.

17:8 Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
耶和华的话临到他说:

17:9 “Get up and go to Zarephath which belongs to Sidon and stay there. Look, I have commanded a woman there, a widow, to sustain you.”
“你起身往西顿的撒勒法【撒勒法与路加福音四章二十六节同】去, 住在那里; 我已吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你. ”

17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath and came to the gate of the city. There was a widow woman gathering wood, so he called to her, and he said, “Please bring a little water for me in a vessel so that I can drink.”
以利亚就起身往撒勒法去. 到了城门, 见有一个寡妇在那里捡柴, 以利亚呼叫她说: “求你用器皿取点水来给我喝. ”

17:11 She went to fetch it, and he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
她去取水的时候, 以利亚又呼叫她说: “也求你拿点饼来给我! ”

17:12 She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, surely I do not have a cake, but only a handful of flour in the jar and a little olive oil in the jug. Here I am gathering a few pieces of wood, and I will go and prepare it for me and my son, that we might eat it and die.”
她说: “我指著永生耶和华─你的神起誓, 我没有饼, 坛内只有一把面, 瓶里只有一点油; 我现在找两根柴, 回家要为我和我儿子做饼; 我们吃了, 死就死吧! ”

17:13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do according to your word; only make for me a small bread cake from it first, and bring it out to me. Make it for yourself and for your son afterward.
以利亚对她说: “不要惧怕! 可以照你所说的去做吧! 只要先为我做一个小饼拿来给我, 然后为你和你的儿子做饼.

17:14 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘The jar of flour will not be emptied and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day Yahweh gives rain on the surface of the earth.’ ”
因为耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 坛内的面必不减少, 瓶里的油必不缺短, 直到耶和华使雨降在地上的日子. ”

17:15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah; then both she and he ate with her household for many days.
妇人就照以利亚的话去行. 她和她家中的人, 并以利亚, 吃了许多日子.

17:16 The jar of flour was not emptied and the jug of olive oil did not run out, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of Elijah.
坛内的面果不减少, 瓶里的油也不缺短, 正如耶和华藉以利亚所说的话.

17:17 It happened after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; and his illness was very severe until there was no breath left in him.
这事以后, 作那家主母的妇人, 她儿子病了; 病得甚重, 以致身无气息.

17:18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, O man of God, that you have come to me to make known my guilt and to cause my son to die?”
妇人对以利亚说: “神人哪, 我与你何干? 你竟到我这里来, 使神想念我的罪, 以致我的儿子死呢? ”

17:19 Then he said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him from her lap and carried him up to the upper room where he was staying, and he laid him on his bed.
以利亚对她说: “把你儿子交给我. ”以利亚就从妇人怀中将孩子接过来, 抱到他所住的楼中, 放在自己的床上,

17:20 Then he called to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh my God, are you also causing evil to come upon the widow with whom I am dwelling as an alien by causing her son to die?”
就求告耶和华说: “耶和华─我的神啊, 我寄居在这寡妇的家里, 你就降祸与她, 使她的儿子死了吗? ”

17:21 He stretched himself out on the child three times and called to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh my God, please let the life of this child return within him.”
以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上, 求告耶和华说: “耶和华─我的神啊, 求你使这孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体! ”

17:22 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned within him, and he lived.
耶和华应允以利亚的话, 孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体, 他就活了.

17:23 Elijah then took the child and brought him down from the upper room to the house and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, “Look, your son is alive.”
以利亚将孩子从楼上抱下来, 进屋子交给他母亲, 说: “看哪, 你的儿子活了! ”

17:24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now this I know, that you are a man of God and the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.”
妇人对以利亚说: “现在我知道你是神人, 耶和华藉你口所说的话是真的. ”

I Kings - Chapter 18

18:1 It happened many days later that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab so that I may give rain on the surface of the earth.”
过了许久, 到第三年, 耶和华的话临到以利亚说: “你去, 使亚哈得见你; 我要降雨在地上. ”

18:2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.
以利亚就去, 要使亚哈得见他. 那时, 撒马利亚有大饥荒;

18:3 Ahab summoned Obadiah who was over the house. (Now Obadiah was fearing Yahweh greatly.
亚哈将他的家宰俄巴底召了来. (俄巴底甚是敬畏耶和华,

18:4 It had happened that when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in the cave and sustained them with food and water.)
耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候, 俄巴底将一百个先知藏了, 每五十人藏在一个洞里, 拿饼和水供养他们. )

18:5 Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the wadis. Perhaps we may find green grass that we may keep horses and mules alive and that we might not lose any of the animals.”
亚哈对俄巴底说: “我们走遍这地, 到一切水泉旁和一切溪边, 或者找得着青草, 可以救活骡马, 免得绝了牲畜. ”

18:6 So they divided the land for themselves in order to pass through it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
于是二人分地游行, 亚哈独走一路, 俄巴底独走一路.

18:7 It happened that Obadiah was on the way, and suddenly Elijah was there to meet him. When he recognized him, he fell on his face and said, “Is this you, my lord Elijah?”
俄巴底在路上恰与以利亚相遇, 俄巴底认出他来, 就俯伏在地, 说: “你是我主以利亚不是? ”

18:8 He said to him, “I am. Go, say to your lord, ‘Elijah is here.’ ”
回答说: “是. 你去告诉你主人说, 以利亚在这里. ”

18:9 He said, “How have I sinned that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
俄巴底说: “仆人有甚么罪, 你竟要将我交在亚哈手里, 使他杀我呢?

18:10 As Yahweh your God lives, surely there is not a nation or a kingdom to which my lord has not sent me to seek you. If they would say, ‘He is not here,’ then he would make the kingdom or the nation swear that it could not find you.
我指著永生耶和华─你的神起誓, 无论哪一邦哪一国, 我主都打发人去找你. 若说你没有在那里, 就必使那邦那国的人起誓说, 实在是找不著你.

18:11 Now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord: “Elijah is here.” ’
现在你说, 要去告诉你主人说, 以利亚在这里;

18:12 And it will happen that I will go from you and the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you up to where I do not know. Then I will come to tell Ahab, but he will not find you, and then he will kill me, even though your servant has feared Yahweh from my youth.
恐怕我一离开你, 耶和华的灵就提你到我所不知道的地方去. 这样, 我去告诉亚哈, 他若找不著你, 就必杀我; 仆人却是自幼敬畏耶和华的.

18:13 Has it not been told to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh? I hid a hundred men of the prophets of Yahweh by fifties in the cave, and I sustained them with food and water.
耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候, 我将耶和华的一百个先知藏了, 每五十人藏在一个洞里, 拿饼和水供养他们, 岂没有人将这事告诉我主吗?

18:14 Now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord: “Elijah is here,” ’ and he will kill me.”
现在你说, 要去告诉你主人说, 以利亚在这里, 他必杀我. ”

18:15 Elijah said, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will certainly show myself to him today.”
以利亚说: “我指著所事奉永生的万军之耶和华起誓, 我今日必使亚哈得见我. ”

18:16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and he told him, so Ahab went to meet Elijah.
于是俄巴底去迎著亚哈, 告诉他; 亚哈就去迎著以利亚.

18:17 When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is this you who throws Israel into confusion?”
亚哈见了以利亚, 便说: “使以色列遭灾的就是你吗? ”

18:18 He said, “I did not throw Israel into confusion; rather you and the house of your father have by forsaking the commands of Yahweh when you went after the Baals!
以利亚说: “使以色列遭灾的不是我, 乃是你和你父家; 因为你们离弃耶和华的诫命, 去随从巴力.

18:19 So then, send word and assemble all of Israel to me on Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at the table of Jezebel.”
现在你当差遣人, 招聚以色列众人和事奉巴力的那四百五十个先知, 并耶洗别所供养事奉亚舍拉的那四百个先知, 使他们都上迦密山去见我. ”

18:20 So Ahab sent word among the Israelites, and he assembled the prophets to Mount Carmel.
亚哈就差遣人招聚以色列众人和先知都上迦密山.

18:21 Elijah approached to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping over two opinions? If Yahweh is God, go after him; but if Baal, go after him.” But the people did not answer him a word.
以利亚前来对众民说: “你们心持两意要到几时呢? 若耶和华是神, 就当顺从耶和华; 若巴力是神, 就当顺从巴力. ”众民一言不答.

18:22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I alone am left a prophet of Yahweh, but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
以利亚对众民说: “作耶和华先知的只剩下我一个人; 巴力的先知却有四百五十个人.

18:23 Let them give us two bulls, and let them choose for themselves one bull, cut him in pieces, and put it on the wood, but don’t let them start a fire on it. I will prepare the other bull and set it on the wood, but I will put no fire on it.
当给我们两只牛犊, 巴力的先知可以挑选一只, 切成块子, 放在柴上, 不要点火; 我也预备一只牛犊放在柴上, 也不点火.

18:24 Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yahweh, and it shall be that the god who answers by fire, he is God.” Then all the people answered and said, “The word is good!”
你们求告你们神的名, 我也求告耶和华的名. 那降火显应的神, 就是神. ”众民回答说: “这话甚好. ”

18:25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are the majority, and call on the name of your god, but don’t set fire under it.”
以利亚对巴力的先知说: “你们既是人多, 当先挑选一只牛犊, 预备好了, 就求告你们神的名, 却不要点火. ”

18:26 So they took the bull that he allowed to them, prepared it, and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice and there was no answer, so they limped about the altar which they had made.
他们将所得的牛犊预备好了, 从早晨到午间, 求告巴力的名说: “巴力啊, 求你应允我们! ”却没有声音, 没有应允的. 他们在所筑的坛四围踊跳.

18:27 It happened at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, “Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god! Perhaps he is meditating, or is using the bathroom, or is on a journey. Perhaps he is asleep and must wake up!”
到了正午, 以利亚嬉笑他们, 说: “大声求告吧! 因为他是神, 他或默想, 或走到一边, 或行路, 或睡觉, 你们当叫醒他. ”

18:28 So they called out with a loud voice, and they cut themselves with swords and with spears as was their custom, until the blood poured out over them.
他们大声求告, 按着他们的规矩, 用刀枪自割,自刺, 直到身体流血.

18:29 It happened as noon passed, they raged until the time of the evening offering, but there was no voice, there was no answer, and no one paid attention.
从午后直到献晚祭的时候, 他们狂呼乱叫, 却没有声音, 没有应允的, 也没有理会的.

18:30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me,” so all the people came closer to him. He repaired the altar of Yahweh that had been destroyed.
以利亚对众民说: “你们到我这里来. ”众民就到他那里. 他便重修已经毁坏耶和华的坛.

18:31 Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of God came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
以利亚照雅各子孙支派的数目, 取了十二块石头(耶和华的话曾临到雅各说: “你的名要叫以色列”),

18:32 With them, he built an altar in the name of Yahweh, and he made a trench which would have held about two seahs of seed, all around the altar.
用这些石头为耶和华的名筑一座坛, 在坛的四围挖沟, 可容谷种二细亚,

18:33 And he arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood. Then he said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”
又在坛上摆好了柴, 把牛犊切成块子放在柴上, 对众人说: “你们用四个桶盛满水, 倒在燔祭和柴上”;

18:34 He said, “Do it again!” They did it again. He said, “Do it a third time!” So they did it a third time.
又说: “倒第二次. ”他们就倒第二次; 又说: “倒第三次. ”他们就倒第三次.

18:35 The water went all around the altar, and the trench also was filled with water.
水流在坛的四围, 沟里也满了水.

18:36 It happened at the offering of the evening oblation, Elijah the prophet went near, and he said, “O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that I have done all of these things by your words.
到了献晚祭的时候, 先知以利亚近前来, 说: “亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神, 耶和华啊, 求你今日使人知道你是以色列的神, 也知道我是你的仆人, 又是奉你的命行这一切事.

18:37 Answer me, O Yahweh, answer me; that this people may know that you, O Yahweh, are God and that you have turned their hearts back again.”
耶和华啊, 求你应允我, 应允我! 使这民知道你─耶和华是神, 又知道是你叫这民的心回转. ”

18:38 Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and it consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust; and the water which was in the trench it licked up!
于是, 耶和华降下火来, 烧尽燔祭,木柴,石头,尘土, 又烧干沟里的水.

18:39 When all the people saw, they fell on their faces and said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”
众民看见了, 就俯伏在地, 说: “耶和华是神! 耶和华是神! ”

18:40 Then Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; don’t let any man of them escape!” So they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the wadi of Kishon and killed them there.
以利亚对他们说: “拿住巴力的先知, 不容一人逃脱! ”众人就拿住他们. 以利亚带他们到基顺河边, 在那里杀了他们.

18:41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of the noise of rain.”
以利亚对亚哈说: “你现在可以上去吃喝, 因为有多雨的响声了. ”

18:42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink while Elijah went to the top of Carmel, bent down to the earth, and put his face between his knees.
亚哈就上去吃喝. 以利亚上了迦密山顶, 屈身在地, 将脸伏在两膝之中;

18:43 Then he said to his servant, “Please go and look in the direction of the sea.” So he went up and looked; then he said, “There is nothing.” Then he said, “Go back,” seven times.
对仆人说: “你上去, 向海观看. ”仆人就上去观看, 说: “没有甚么. ”他说: “你再去观看. ”如此七次.

18:44 It happened that at the seventh time, he said, “Look, there is a small cloud, as the hand of a man, coming up from the sea.” Then Elijah said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Harness your horses and go down, lest the rain stop you.’ ”
第七次仆人说: “我看见有一小片云从海里上来, 不过如人手那样大. ”以利亚说: “你上去告诉亚哈, 当套车下去, 免得被雨阻挡. ”

18:45 In no time the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was heavy rain. Ahab rode and he went to Jezreel,
霎时间, 天因风云黑暗, 降下大雨. 亚哈就坐车往耶斯列去了.

18:46 but the hand of Yahweh was on Elijah; he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab as one comes to Jezreel.
耶和华的灵(原文是手)降在以利亚身上, 他就束上腰, 奔在亚哈前头, 直到耶斯列的城门.

I Kings - Chapter 19

19:1 Then Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
亚哈将以利亚一切所行的和他用刀杀众先知的事都告诉耶洗别.

19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus may the gods do to me, and may they add to it, surely at this time tomorrow I will make your life as the life of one of them!”
耶洗别就差遣人去见以利亚, 告诉他说: “明日约在这时候, 我若不使你的性命像那些人的性命一样, 愿神明重重地降罚与我. ”

19:3 Then he became afraid, got up, and fled for his life. He came to Beersheba which belongs to Judah, and he left his servant there.
以利亚见这光景就起来逃命, 到了犹大的别是巴, 将仆人留在那里,

19:4 Then he went into the wilderness one day’s journey, and he went and sat under a certain broom tree. Then he asked Yahweh that he might die, and he said, “It is enough now, Yahweh; take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.”
自己在旷野走了一日的路程, 来到一棵罗腾树下(小树名, 松类; 下同), 就坐在那里求死, 说: “耶和华啊, 罢了! 求你取我的性命, 因为我不胜于我的列祖. ”

19:5 He lay down and fell asleep under a certain broom tree, and suddenly this angel was touching him and said to him, “Get up, eat!”
他就躺在罗腾树下, 睡着了. 有一个天使拍他, 说: “起来吃吧! ”

19:6 He looked, and behold, a bread cake on hot coals was near his head and a jar of water, so he ate and drank. Then he did it again and lay down.
他观看, 见头旁有一瓶水与炭火烧的饼, 他就吃了喝了, 仍然躺下.

19:7 The angel of Yahweh appeared a second time and touched him and said, “Get up, eat, for the journey is greater than you.”
耶和华的使者第二次来拍他, 说: “起来吃吧! 因为你当走的路甚远. ”

19:8 So he got up, ate, drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights up to Horeb, the mountain of God.
他就起来吃了喝了, 仗着这饮食的力, 走了四十昼夜, 到了神的山, 就是何烈山.

19:9 He came to the cave there and spent the night there. Suddenly the word of Yahweh came to him and asked him, “Elijah, what are you doing here?”
他在那里进了一个洞, 就住在洞中. 耶和华的话临到他说: “以利亚啊, 你在这里做甚么? ”

19:10 Then he said, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant. They have demolished your altars, and they have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left over, and they seek to take my life.
他说: “我为耶和华─万军之神大发热心; 因为以色列人背弃了你的约, 毁坏了你的坛, 用刀杀了你的先知, 只剩下我一个人, 他们还要寻索我的命. ”

19:11 He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Suddenly Yahweh was passing by, with a great and strong wind ripping the mountains and crushing rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
耶和华说: “你出来站在山上, 在我面前. ”那时耶和华从那里经过, 在他面前有烈风大作, 崩山碎石, 耶和华却不在风中; 风后地震, 耶和华却不在其中;

19:12 After the earthquake was a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.
地震后有火, 耶和华也不在火中; 火后有微小的声音.

19:13 It happened at the moment Elijah heard, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him and said, “Elijah, why are you here?”
以利亚听见, 就用外衣蒙上脸, 出来站在洞口. 有声音向他说: “以利亚啊, 你在这里做甚么? ”

19:14 He said, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh the God of Hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, demolished your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword; I alone am left, and they seek to take my life!”
他说: “我为耶和华─万军之神大发热心; 因为以色列人背弃了你的约, 毁坏了你的坛, 用刀杀了你的先知, 只剩下我一个人, 他们还要寻索我的命. ”

19:15 Then Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. Go and anoint Hazael as king over Aram;
耶和华对他说: “你回去, 从旷野往大马士革去. 到了那里, 就要膏哈薛作亚兰王,

19:16 and Jehu son of Nimshi you shall anoint as king over Israel. You shall also anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-Meholah as prophet in your place.
又膏宁示的孙子耶户作以色列王, 并膏亚伯‧米何拉人沙法的儿子以利沙作先知接续你.

19:17 It shall be that the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.
将来躲避哈薛之刀的, 必被耶户所杀; 躲避耶户之刀的, 必被以利沙所杀.

19:18 I will leave in Israel seven thousand, all of the knees that have not bowed down to Baal and all of the mouths that have not kissed him.”
但我在以色列人中为自己留下七千人, 是未曾向巴力屈膝的, 未曾与巴力亲嘴的. ”

19:19 So he went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him. When he and the twelve passed Elijah, he threw his cloak on him.
于是, 以利亚离开那里走了, 遇见沙法的儿子以利沙耕地; 在他前头有十二对牛, 自己赶着第十二对. 以利亚到他那里去, 将自己的外衣搭在他身上.

19:20 Then he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will go after you.” Then he said, “Go, return, for what I have done to you?”
以利沙就离开牛, 跑到以利亚那里, 说: “求你容我先与父母亲嘴, 然后我便跟随你. ”以利亚对他说: “你回去吧, 我向你做了甚么呢? ”

19:21 So he returned from after him, and he took a pair of oxen and slaughtered them, and with the yoke of the oxen he boiled the flesh and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and served him.
以利沙就离开他回去, 宰了一对牛, 用套牛的器具煮肉给民吃, 随后就起身跟随以利亚, 服事他.

I Kings - Chapter 20

20:1 Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathered all of his army, and thirty-two kings were with him, and horses and chariots. He went up and laid siege against Samaria and fought with it.
亚兰王便‧哈达聚集他的全军, 率领三十二个王, 带着车马上来围攻撒马利亚;

20:2 He sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel.
又差遣使者进城见以色列王亚哈, 对他说: “便‧哈达如此说:

20:3 He said to him, “Thus says Ben-Hadad: ‘Your silver and your gold are mine, and your women and your best sons are mine.’ ”
你的金银都要归我, 你妻子儿女中最美的也要归我. ”

20:4 Then the king of Israel answered and said, “As your word, my master the king; I am yours, and all that is mine is yours.”
以色列王回答说: “我主我王啊, 可以依着你的话, 我与我所有的都归你. ”

20:5 The messengers returned and said, “Thus says Ben-Hadad, saying, ‘I sent to you saying, “Your silver and gold are mine, and your women and your best sons you must give to me.”
使者又来说: “便‧哈达如此说: 我已差遣人去见你, 要你将你的金银,妻子,儿女都给我.

20:6 So at this time tomorrow, I will send my servants to you that they might search your house and the houses of your servants. All the desire of your eyes they will lay hands on and take it away.’ ”
但明日约在这时候, 我还要差遣臣仆到你那里, 搜查你的家和你仆人的家, 将你眼中一切所喜爱的都拿了去. ”

20:7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, “Please know and realize that this man is seeking trouble, for he sent to me for my women, my sons, my silver, and my gold, and I did not withhold anything from him.”
以色列王召了国中的长老来, 对他们说: “请你们看看, 这人是怎样地谋害我, 他先差遣人到我这里来, 要我的妻子,儿女, 和金银, 我并没有推辞他. ”

20:8 All of the elders and all of the people said to him, “Do not listen and do not consent.”
长老和百姓对王说: “不要听从他, 也不要应允他. ”

20:9 So he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Say to my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded from your servant at the first, I will do, but this thing I am not able to do.’ ” Then the messengers went and made a report to him.
故此, 以色列王对便‧哈达的使者说: “你们告诉我主我王说: 王头一次差遣人向仆人所要的, 仆人都依从; 但这次所要的, 我不能依从. ”使者就去回覆便‧哈达.

20:10 Then Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, “Thus may the gods do to me and thus may they add if the dust of Samaria is sufficient for the hollow of a hand for all of the people who are at my feet.”
便‧哈达又差遣人去见亚哈说: “撒马利亚的尘土若够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的, 愿神明重重地降罚与我! ”

20:11 The king of Israel answered and said, “Tell him, ‘Let not him who girds on his armor boast as one who takes off his armor.’ ”
以色列王说: “你告诉他说, 才顶盔贯甲的, 休要像摘盔卸甲的夸口. ”

20:12 It happened at the moment he heard this word, he and the kings were drinking in the tents. He said to his servants, “Get ready to attack.” So they got ready to attack the city.
便‧哈达和诸王正在帐幕里喝酒, 听见这话, 就对他臣仆说: “摆队吧! ”他们就摆队攻城.

20:13 Suddenly a certain prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Have you seen all this great crowd? Behold, I am giving it into your hand today, that you may know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
有一个先知来见以色列王亚哈, 说: “耶和华如此说: ‘这一大群人你看见了吗? 今日我必将他们交在你手里, 你就知道我是耶和华. ’”

20:14 Ahab said, “By whom?” And he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘By the servants of the commanders of the provinces.’ ” He asked, “Who will begin the battle?” And he said, “You.”
亚哈说: “藉著谁呢? ”他回答说: “耶和华说, 藉著跟从省长的少年人. ”亚哈说: “要谁率领呢? ”他说: “要你亲自率领. ”

20:15 So he mustered the servants of the commanders of the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two. After them he mustered all of the army, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.
于是亚哈数点跟从省长的少年人, 共有二百三十二名, 后又数点以色列的众兵, 共有七千名.

20:16 They went out at noon while Ben-Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the tents, he and the thirty-two kings helping him.
午间, 他们就出城; 便‧哈达和帮助他的三十二个王正在帐幕里痛饮.

20:17 Then the servants of the commanders of the provinces went out first, and Ben-Hadad sent, and they reported to him, saying, “Men have come out from Samaria.”
跟从省长的少年人先出城; 便‧哈达差遣人去探望, 他们回报说: “有人从撒马利亚出来了. ”

20:18 Then he said, “If they have come out for peace, seize them alive; and if they have come out for war, seize them alive.”
他说: “他们若为讲和出来, 要活捉他们; 若为打仗出来, 也要活捉他们. ”

20:19 But these had come out from the city, the servants of the commanders of the provinces, and the army that was after them.
跟从省长的少年人出城, 军兵跟随他们;

20:20 Each man killed his man, and the Arameans fled, so Israel pursued them, but Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with cavalry.
各人遇见敌人就杀. 亚兰人逃跑, 以色列人追赶他们; 亚兰王便‧哈达骑着马和马兵一同逃跑.

20:21 The king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and the chariots and defeated Aram with a great blow.
以色列王出城攻打车马, 大大击杀亚兰人.

20:22 Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and he said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself; consider well what you should do, for the king of Aram is coming against you at the turn of the year.”
那先知来见以色列王, 对他说: “你当自强, 留心怎样防备; 因为到明年这时候, 亚兰王必上来攻击你. ”

20:23 The servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we. Let us fight with them in the plain; surely we will be stronger than they.
亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说: “以色列人的神是山神, 所以他们胜过我们; 但在平原与他们打仗, 我们必定得胜.

20:24 Do this thing: remove the kings each from his post, and put a governor in their place.
王当这样行: 把诸王革去, 派军长代替他们,

20:25 You must muster an army for yourself as the army you have lost, and horses and chariots as the horses and chariots you lost, then we will fight them in the plain. Surely we will be stronger than they.” So he listened to their voice and did so.
又照着王丧失军兵之数, 再招募一军, 马补马, 车补车, 我们在平原与他们打仗, 必定得胜. ”王便听臣仆的话去行.

20:26 It happened at the turning of the year that Ben-Hadad mustered Aram and went up to Aphek for the war with Israel.
次年, 便‧哈达果然点齐亚兰人上亚弗去, 要与以色列人打仗.

20:27 The Israelites had been mustered and provisioned, and they went to engage them. The Israelites encamped opposite them as two flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the land.
以色列人也点齐军兵, 预备食物, 迎著亚兰人出去, 对着他们安营, 好像两小群山羊羔; 亚兰人却满了地面.

20:28 Then the man of God approached, and he spoke to the king of Israel, and he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because Aram has said, “Yahweh is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys,” ’ I will give all this great crowd into your hand that you may know that I am Yahweh.”
有神人来见以色列王, 说: “耶和华如此说: ‘亚兰人既说我─耶和华是山神, 不是平原的神, 所以我必将这一大群人都交在你手中, 你们就知道我是耶和华. ’”

20:29 These encamped opposite for seven days, and it happened on the seventh day that the battle began, and the Israelites killed the Arameans, one hundred thousand infantry in one day.
以色列人与亚兰人相对安营七日, 到第七日两军交战; 那一日以色列人杀了亚兰人步兵十万,

20:30 Then those who remained fled to Aphek, to the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who had remained, so Ben-Hadad fled and went to the innermost rooms of the city.
其余的逃入亚弗城; 城墙塌倒, 压死剩下的二万七千人. 便‧哈达也逃入城, 藏在严密的屋子里.

20:31 Then his servants said to him, “Please now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are kings of mercy. Let us now put sackcloth on around our waists and ropes on our heads. Then let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will let you live.”
他的臣仆对他说: “我们听说以色列王都是仁慈的王, 现在我们不如腰束麻布, 头套绳索, 出去投降以色列王, 或者他存留王的性命. ”

20:32 So they tied sackcloth around their waists and ropes on their heads. Then they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’ ” And he said, “Is my brother still alive?”
于是他们腰束麻布, 头套绳索, 去见以色列王, 说: “王的仆人便‧哈达说, 求王存留我的性命. ”亚哈说: “他还活着吗? 他是我的兄弟. ”

20:33 The men took this as a good omen and they quickly accepted it as true from him, and they said, “Your brother Ben-Hadad lives.” So he said, “Go, get him.” Ben-Hadad came out to him, and Ahab pulled him up on the chariot.
这些人留心探出他的口气来, 便急忙就著他的话说: “便‧哈达是王的兄弟! ”王说: “你们去请他来. ”便‧哈达出来见王, 王就请他上车.

20:34 Ben-Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I shall return. You may set up streets with stalls for yourself in Damascus just as my father set up in Samaria.” Then Ahab said, “On these terms I will let you go,” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
便‧哈达对王说: “我父从你父那里所夺的城邑, 我必归还. 你可以在大马士革立街市, 像我父在撒马利亚所立的一样. ”亚哈说: “我照此立约, 放你回去”, 就与他立约, 放他去了.

20:35 A certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his fellow countryman, “By the word of Yahweh, please strike me.” But the man refused to strike him.
有先知的一个门徒奉耶和华的命对他的同伴说: “你打我吧! ”那人不肯打他.

20:36 He said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, look, as you now are going from me, a lion will kill you.” When he went from beside him, the lion found him and killed him.
他就对那人说: “你既不听从耶和华的话, 你一离开我, 必有狮子咬死你. ”那人一离开他, 果然遇见狮子, 把他咬死了.

20:37 Then he found another man and said, “Strike me, please,” so the man struck him sharply and wounded him.
先知的门徒又遇见一个人, 对他说: “你打我吧! ”那人就打他, 将他打伤.

20:38 Then the prophet went and waited for the king along the road and disguised himself with a headband over his eyes.
他就去了, 用头巾蒙眼, 改换面目, 在路旁等候王.

20:39 As the king was passing by, he called to the king and said, “Your servant went out in the thick of the battle, and suddenly a man turned and brought a man to me and said, ‘Guard this man. If by any means he should be missed, it will be your life in his place, or you shall pay a talent of silver.’
王从那里经过, 他向王呼叫说: “仆人在阵上的时候, 有人带了一个人来, 对我说: ‘你看守这人, 若把他失了, 你的性命必代替他的性命; 不然, 你必交出一他连得银子来. ’

20:40 It happened that your servant was busy here and there, and he disappeared.” Then the king said to him, “Your own judgment has been determined.”
仆人正在忙乱之间, 那人就不见了. ”以色列王对他说: “你自己定妥了, 必照样判断你. ”

20:41 He quickly removed the headband from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was from the prophets.
他急忙除掉蒙眼的头巾, 以色列王就认出他是一个先知.

20:42 He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Because you have let the man I devoted for destruction go from your hand, your life shall be in place of his life and your people in place of his people.’ ”
他对王说: “耶和华如此说: ‘因你将我定要灭绝的人放去, 你的命就必代替他的命, 你的民也必代替他的民. ’”

20:43 Then the king of Israel went to his house, sullen and angry, and he came to Samaria.
于是以色列王闷闷不乐地回到撒马利亚, 进了他的宫.

I Kings - Chapter 21

21:1 It happened after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
这事以后, 又有一事. 耶斯列人拿伯在耶斯列有一个葡萄园, 靠近撒马利亚王亚哈的宫.

21:2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard that it may be mine for a garden of vegetable plants, because it is near, beside my house, and I will give to you a better vineyard in place of it. If it is better in your eyes, I will give you the money of its price.”
亚哈对拿伯说: “你将你的葡萄园给我作菜园, 因为是靠近我的宫; 我就把更好的葡萄园换给你, 或是你要银子, 我就按著价值给你. ”

21:3 Naboth said to Ahab, “Far be it from me from Yahweh that I should give the inheritance of my ancestors to you.”
拿伯对亚哈说: “我敬畏耶和华, 万不敢将我先人留下的产业给你. ”

21:4 Then Ahab went to his house, sullen and angry because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him when he had said, “I will not give to you the inheritance of my ancestors.” So he lay on his bed, turned away his face, and would not eat any food.
亚哈因耶斯列人拿伯说“我不敢将我先人留下的产业给你”, 就闷闷不乐地回宫, 躺在床上, 转脸向内, 也不吃饭.

21:5 Then Jezebel his wife came to him, and she said to him, “What is this, that your spirit is sullen and you are not eating food?”
王后耶洗别来问他说: “你为甚么心里这样忧闷, 不吃饭呢? ”

21:6 Then he said to her, “When I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and asked him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money, or it you prefer, I will give you a vineyard in place of it,’ he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’ ”
他回答说: “因我向耶斯列人拿伯说: ‘你将你的葡萄园给我, 我给你价银, 或是你愿意, 我就把别的葡萄园换给你’; 他却说: ‘我不将我的葡萄园给你. ’”

21:7 Jezebel his wife said to him, “Now, you rule over Israel. Get up, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful. I myself will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
王后耶洗别对亚哈说: “你现在是治理以色列国不是? 只管起来, 心里畅畅快快地吃饭, 我必将耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园给你. ”

21:8 So she wrote letters in the name of Ahab and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling with Naboth in his city.
于是托亚哈的名写信, 用王的印印上, 送给那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵冑.

21:9 She had written in the letters, saying, “Call a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people.
信上写着说: “你们当宣告禁食, 叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上,

21:10 Seat two men, scoundrels, opposite him. Let them witness against him saying, ‘You cursed God and the king.’ Then you shall bring him out and stone him so that he dies.”
又叫两个匪徒坐在拿伯对面, 作见证告他说: ‘你谤渎神和王了’; 随后就把他拉出去用石头打死. ”

21:11 The men of his city and the elders and nobles who were living in his city did according to what Jezebel had sent to them, as was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵冑得了耶洗别的信, 就照信而行,

21:12 They called a fast, and they seated Naboth at the head of the people.
宣告禁食, 叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上.

21:13 Then the two men, scoundrels, came, sat opposite him, and the scoundrels witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king,” so they brought him outside of the city and stoned him with stones, and he died.
有两个匪徒来, 坐在拿伯的对面, 当着众民作见证告他说: “拿伯谤渎神和王了! ”众人就把他拉到城外, 用石头打死.

21:14 They sent to Jezebel saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he is dead.”
于是打发人去见耶洗别, 说: “拿伯被石头打死了. ”

21:15 It happened at the moment Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and died, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Get up, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite which he had refused to give to you for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
耶洗别听见拿伯被石头打死, 就对亚哈说: “你起来得耶斯列人拿伯不肯为价银给你的葡萄园吧! 现在他已经死了. ”

21:16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
亚哈听见拿伯死了, 就起来, 下去要得耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园.

21:17 The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说:

21:18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab the king of Israel who is in Samaria. Look in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession of it.
“你起来, 去见住撒马利亚的以色列王亚哈, 他下去要得拿伯的葡萄园, 现今正在那园里.

21:19 You shall say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Have you committed murder and also taken possession?” ’ You shall also say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs will also lick your blood.” ’ ”
你要对他说: ‘耶和华如此说: 你杀了人, 又得他的产业吗? ’又要对他说: ‘耶和华如此说: 狗在何处舔拿伯的血, 也必在何处舔你的血. ’”

21:20 Then Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He said, “I have found you because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
亚哈对以利亚说: “我仇敌啊, 你找到我吗? ”他回答说: “我找到你了; 因为你卖了自己, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事.

21:21 ‘Look, I am bringing disaster on you, and I will sweep away after you. I will cut off for Ahab every male in Israel, bond or free.
耶和华说: ‘我必使灾祸临到你, 将你除尽. 凡属你的男丁, 无论困住的,自由的, 都从以色列中剪除.

21:22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because you made me angry and have caused Israel to sin.’
我必使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家, 又像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家; 因为你惹我发怒, 又使以色列人陷在罪里. ’

21:23 Moreover, concerning Jezebel, Yahweh has said, ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the outer rampart of Jezreel.’
论到耶洗别, 耶和华也说: ‘狗在耶斯列的外郭必吃耶洗别的肉.

21:24 The one who dies for Ahab in the city, the dogs will eat; the one who dies in the open country, the birds of heaven will eat.”
凡属亚哈的人, 死在城中的必被狗吃, 死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃. ’”

21:25 Truly, there was no one like Ahab who had sold himself by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh, whose wife Jezebel urged him on.
(从来没有像亚哈的, 因他自卖, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 受了王后耶洗别的耸动;

21:26 Also, he acted very abominably by going after idols like all the Amorites had done whom Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites.”
就照耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的亚摩利人, 行了最可憎恶的事, 信从偶像. )

21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth over his flesh, fasted, lay in the sackcloth, and went about dejectedly.
亚哈听见这话, 就撕裂衣服, 禁食, 身穿麻布, 睡卧也穿着麻布, 并且缓缓而行.

21:28 Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说:

21:29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring disaster in his days. I will bring the disaster on his house in the days of his son.”
“亚哈在我面前这样自卑, 你看见了吗? 因他在我面前自卑, 他还在世的时候, 我不降这祸; 到他儿子的时候, 我必降这祸与他的家. ”

I Kings - Chapter 22

22:1 They lived three years, and there was no war between Aram and Israel.
亚兰国和以色列国三年没有争战.

22:2 It happened in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to the king of Israel,
到第三年, 犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王.

22:3 and the king of Israel said to his servants, “Do you know Ramoth-Gilead belongs to us, and we are doing nothing about taking it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
以色列王对臣仆说: “你们不知道基列的拉末是属我们的吗? 我们岂可静坐不动, 不从亚兰王手里夺回来吗? ”

22:4 Then he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to the battle for Ramoth-Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am like you; my people are like your people; my horses are like your horses.”
亚哈问约沙法说: “你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末吗? ”约沙法对以色列王说: “你我不分彼此, 我的民与你的民一样, 我的马与你的马一样. ”

22:5 Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire for the word of Yahweh today.”
约沙法对以色列王说: “请你先求问耶和华. ”

22:6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead for the battle, or should I refrain?” Then they said, “Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
于是以色列王招聚先知, 约有四百人, 问他们说: “我上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以? ”他们说: “可以上去, 因为主必将那城交在王的手里. ”

22:7 So Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here that we might still inquire from him?”
约沙法说: “这里不是还有耶和华的先知, 我们可以求问他吗? ”

22:8 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man to inquire from Yahweh, but I despise him, for he never prophesies anything good concerning me, but only bad: Micaiah the son of Imlah.” Then Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say so.”
以色列王对约沙法说: “还有一个人, 是音拉的儿子米该雅, 我们可以托他求问耶和华. 只是我恨他; 因为他指着我所说的预言, 不说吉语, 单说凶言. ”约沙法说: “王不必这样说. ”

22:9 The king of Israel summoned a certain court official, and he said, “Quickly fetch Micaiah son of Imlah.”
以色列王就召了一个太监来, 说: “你快去, 将音拉的儿子米该雅召来. ”

22:10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法在撒马利亚城门前的空场上, 各穿朝服, 坐在位上, 所有的先知都在他们面前说预言.

22:11 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until finishing them.’ ”
基拿拿的儿子西底家造了两个铁角, 说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你要用这角牴触亚兰人, 直到将他们灭尽. ’”

22:12 All of the prophets were likewise prophesying, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
所有的先知也都这样预言说: “可以上基列的拉末去, 必然得胜, 因为耶和华必将那城交在王的手中. ”

22:13 Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Please now, the words of the prophet are unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your words be as one word with them, and speak favorably.”
那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说: “众先知一口同音地都向王说吉言, 你不如与他们说一样的话, 也说吉言. ”

22:14 Then Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, surely only as Yahweh speaks to me, that will I speak.”
米该雅说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 耶和华对我说甚么, 我就说甚么. ”

22:15 When he came to the king, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to the battle, or shall we refrain?” He said to him, “Go up and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
米该雅到王面前, 王问他说: “米该雅啊, 我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以? ”他回答说: “可以上去, 必然得胜, 耶和华必将那城交在王的手中. ”

22:16 Then the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear that you shall not tell me anything but truth in the name of Yahweh?”
王对他说: “我当嘱咐你几次, 你才奉耶和华的名向我说实话呢? ”

22:17 So he said, “I saw all of Israel scattering to the mountains, like the sheep without a shepherd. Yahweh also said, ‘There are no masters for these, let them return in peace, each to his house.’ ”
米该雅说: “我看见以色列众民散在山上, 如同没有牧人的羊群一般. 耶和华说: ‘这民没有主人, 他们可以平平安安地各归各家去. ’”

22:18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but disaster?”
以色列王对约沙法说: “我岂没有告诉你, 这人指着我所说的预言, 不说吉语单说凶言吗? ”

22:19 And he said, “Therefore, hear the word of Yahweh. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne with all the hosts of heaven standing beside him from his right hand and from his left hand.
米该雅说: “你要听耶和华的话! 我看见耶和华坐在宝座上, 天上的万军侍立在他左右.

22:20 And Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab so that he will go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?’ Then this one was saying one thing and the other one was saying another.
耶和华说: ‘谁去引诱亚哈上基列的拉末去阵亡呢? ’这个就这样说, 那个就那样说.

22:21 Then a spirit came out and stood before Yahweh and said, ‘I will entice him,’ and Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
随后有一个神灵出来, 站在耶和华面前, 说: ‘我去引诱他. ’

22:22 He said, ‘I will go out and I will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You shall entice and succeed, go out and do so.’
耶和华问他说: ‘你用何法呢? ’他说: ‘我去, 要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵. ’耶和华说: ‘这样, 你必能引诱他, 你去如此行吧! ’

22:23 So then, see that Yahweh has placed a false spirit in the mouth of all of these your prophets, and Yahweh has spoken disaster concerning you.”
现在耶和华使谎言的灵入了你这些先知的口, 并且耶和华已经命定降祸与你. ”

22:24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah came near and slapped Micaiah on the cheek and said, “When did the Spirit of Yahweh pass from me to speak with you?”
基拿拿的儿子西底家前来, 打米该雅的脸, 说: “耶和华的灵从哪里离开我与你说话呢? ”

22:25 Then Micaiah said, “Behold, you are about to see on that day when you go from room to room to hide.”
米该雅说: “你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日, 就必看见了. ”

22:26 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the commander of the city and to Jehoash the son of the king;
以色列王说: “将米该雅带回, 交给邑宰亚们和王的儿子约阿施, 说

22:27 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this fellow in the house of imprisonment and feed him reduced rations of food and water until I come in peace.” ’ ”
王如此说, 把这个人下在监里, 使他受苦, 吃不饱喝不足, 等候我平平安安地回来. ”

22:28 Then Micaiah said, “If you indeed return in peace, then Yahweh has not spoken with me.” Then he said, “Let all the peoples hear!”
米该雅说: “你若能平平安安地回来, 那就是耶和华没有藉我说这话了”; 又说: “众民哪, 你们都要听! ”

22:29 Then the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了.

22:30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you wear your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and he went into the battle.
以色列王对约沙法说: “我要改装上阵, 你可以仍穿王服. ”以色列王就改装上阵.

22:31 The king of Aram commanded his thirty-two chariot commanders, saying, “You shall not fight with small or great, but only against the king of Israel, him alone!”
先是亚兰王吩咐他的三十二个车兵长说: “他们的兵将, 无论大小, 你们都不可与他们争战, 只要与以色列王争战. ”

22:32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely he is the king of Israel,” and they turned to fight against him, so Jehoshaphat called out.
车兵长看见约沙法, 便说: “这必是以色列王! ”就转过去与他争战, 约沙法便呼喊.

22:33 When the chariot commanders saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned away from him.
车兵长见不是以色列王, 就转去不追他了.

22:34 But another man drew his bow fully and struck the king of Israel between the armor scales and the breastplate; so he said to his chariot driver, “Turn the chariot and bring me out from the camp, for I am wounded.”
有一人随便开弓, 恰巧射入以色列王的甲缝里. 王对赶车的说: “我受了重伤, 你转过车来, 拉我出阵吧! ”

22:35 The battle intensified on that day, and the king was being propped up in the chariot opposite Aram, but he died in the evening, and the blood of the wound ran out to the floor of the chariot.
那日, 阵势越战越猛, 有人扶王站在车上, 抵挡亚兰人. 到晚上, 王就死了, 血从伤处流在车中.

22:36 Then the shout passed through the camp about sunset, saying, “Each man to his city and each to his land!”
约在日落的时候, 有号令传遍军中, 说: “各归本城, 各归本地吧! ”

22:37 So the king died, and they brought him to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
王既死了, 众人将他送到撒马利亚, 就葬在那里;

22:38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked his blood (now, the prostitutes washed themselves there) according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
又有人把他的车洗在撒马利亚的池旁(妓女在那里洗澡), 狗来舔他的血, 正如耶和华所说的话.

22:39 The remainder of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory palace and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
亚哈其余的事, 凡他所行的和他所修造的象牙宫, 并所建筑的一切城邑, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

22:40 So Ahab slept with his ancestors, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
亚哈与他列祖同睡. 他儿子亚哈谢接续他作王.

22:41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
以色列王亚哈第四年, 亚撒的儿子约沙法登基作了犹大王.

22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
约沙法登基的时候年三十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二十五年. 他母亲名叫阿苏巴, 乃示利希的女儿.

22:43 He walked in all of the way of Asa his father, and he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the eyes of Yahweh. Only he did not remove the high places; the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
约沙法行他父亲亚撒所行的道, 不偏离左右, 行耶和华眼中看为正的事; 只是邱坛还没有废去, 百姓仍在那里献祭烧香.

22:44 But, Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
约沙法与以色列王和好.

22:45 The remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat, his powerful deeds he did, and how he fought, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约沙法其余的事和他所显出的勇力, 并他怎样争战, 都写在犹大列王记上.

22:46 The remainder of the male shrine prostitutes who were left over in the days of Asa his father he exterminated from the land.
约沙法将他父亲亚撒在世所剩下的娈童都从国中除去了.

22:47 There was not a king in Edom; a governor served as king.
那时以东没有王, 有总督治理.

22:48 Jehoshaphat built ships of the Tarshish type to go to Ophir for the gold; but he did not go because the ships were destroyed at Ezion-Geber.
约沙法制造他施船只, 要往俄斐去, 将金子运来; 只是没有去, 因为船在以旬‧迦别破坏了.

22:49 Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing.
亚哈的儿子亚哈谢对约沙法说: “容我的仆人和你的仆人坐船同去吧! ”约沙法却不肯.

22:50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David his ancestor, and Joram his son became king in his place.
约沙法与列祖同睡. 葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里. 他儿子约兰接续他作王.

22:51 Ahaziah son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
犹大王约沙法十七年, 亚哈的儿子亚哈谢在撒马利亚登基, 作以色列王共二年.

22:52 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and he went in the way of his father and his mother and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法他的父母, 又行尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的事.

22:53 He served Baal and bowed down to him; and he provoked Yahweh the God of Israel according to all that his father did.
他照他父亲一切所行的, 事奉敬拜巴力, 惹耶和华─以色列神的怒气.

II Kings (列王记下)

II Kings - Chapter 1

1:1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
亚哈死后, 摩押背叛以色列.

1:2 Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice in his upper room, which was in Samaria, and he was injured. So he sent messengers, and he said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, if I will survive this injury.”
亚哈谢在撒马利亚, 一日从楼上的栏杆里掉下来, 就病了; 于是差遣使者说: “你们去问以革伦的神巴力．西卜, 我这病能好不能好. ”

1:3 Then the angel of Yahweh spoke to Elijah the Tishbite, “Get up, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and speak to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’
但耶和华的使者对提斯比人以利亚说: “你起来, 去迎著撒马利亚王的使者, 对他们说: ‘你们去问以革伦神巴力．西卜, 岂因以色列中没有神吗? ’

1:4 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, ‘The bed upon which you have gone, you will not come down from it, but you shall surely die.’ ” So Elijah went.
所以耶和华如此说: ‘你必不下你所上的床, 必定要死! ’”以利亚就去了.

1:5 When the messengers returned to him, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”
使者回来见王, 王问他们说: “你们为甚么回来呢? ”

1:6 Then they said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and he said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you and speak to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron? Therefore the bed upon which you have gone, you will not come down from it, for you will surely die.’ ” ’ ”
使者回答说: “有一个人迎着我们来, 对我们说: ‘你们回去见差你们来的王, 对他说: 耶和华如此说, 你差人去问以革伦神巴力．西卜, 岂因以色列中没有神吗? 所以你必不下所上的床, 必定要死. ’”

1:7 Then he spoke to them, “What was the manner of the man who came up to meet you and spoke to you all these things?”
王问他们说: “迎着你们来告诉你们这话的, 是怎样的人? ”

1:8 They answered him, “A hairy man with a leather belt girded around his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”
回答说: “他身穿毛衣, 腰束皮带. ”王说: “这必是提斯比人以利亚. ”

1:9 So Ahaziah sent to him the commander of fifty with his fifty men, and he went up to him while he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “O man of God, the king says, ‘Come down.’ ”
于是, 王差遣五十夫长, 带领五十人去见以利亚, 他就上到以利亚那里; 以利亚正坐在山顶上. 五十夫长对他说: “神人哪, 王吩咐你下来! ”

1:10 Then Elijah answered and said to the commander of the fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
以利亚回答说: “我若是神人, 愿火从天上降下来, 烧灭你和你那五十人! ”于是有火从天上降下来, 烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人.

1:11 So he again sent another commander of fifty and his fifty men. He answered and said to him, “O man of God, thus says the king, ‘Come down quickly!’ ”
王第二次差遣一个五十夫长, 带领五十人去见以利亚. 五十夫长对以利亚说: “神人哪, 王吩咐你快快下来! ”

1:12 Then Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty!” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
以利亚回答说: “我若是神人, 愿火从天上降下来, 烧灭你和你那五十人! ”于是神的火从天上降下来, 烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人.

1:13 So he again sent a third time a commander of fifty and his fifty, and the commander of the third fifty went up and came and knelt down on his knees before Elijah and entreated him. He said to him, “O man of God, please let my life and the lives of your servants, these fifty, be precious in your eyes.
王第三次差遣一个五十夫长, 带领五十人去. 这五十夫长上去, 双膝跪在以利亚面前, 哀求他说: “神人哪, 愿我的性命和你这五十个仆人的性命在你眼前看为宝贵!

1:14 Behold, fire from heaven came down and consumed the first two commanders of fifty and their fifties, so then let my life be precious in your eyes.”
已经有火从天上降下来, 烧灭前两次来的五十夫长和他们各自带的五十人; 现在愿我的性命在你眼前看为宝贵! ”

1:15 Then the angel of Yahweh spoke to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid because of him.” So he got up and went down with him to the king,
耶和华的使者对以利亚说: “你同着他下去, 不要怕他! ”以利亚就起来, 同着他下去见王,

1:16 and he said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel from whom to inquire his word?—therefore the bed upon which you went, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.’ ”
对王说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你差人去问以革伦神巴力．西卜, 岂因以色列中没有神可以求问吗? 所以你必不下所上的床, 必定要死! ’”

1:17 So he died, according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken, and Joram became king in his place in the second year of Joram the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, because he had no son.
亚哈谢果然死了, 正如耶和华藉以利亚所说的话. 因他没有儿子, 他兄弟约兰接续他作王, 正在犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰第二年.

1:18 The remainder of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
亚哈谢其余所行的事都写在以色列诸王记上.

II Kings - Chapter 2

2:1 When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up in the storm to heaven, Elijah and Elisha went from Gilgal.
耶和华要用旋风接以利亚升天的时候, 以利亚与以利沙从吉甲前往.

2:2 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for Yahweh has sent me up to Bethel.” Elisha said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.
以利亚对以利沙说: “耶和华差我往伯特利去, 你可以在这里等候. ”以利沙说: “我指著永生的耶和华, 又敢在你面前起誓, 我必不离开你. ”于是二人下到伯特利.

2:3 Then the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master from you today?” He said, “I also know; be quiet!”
住伯特利的先知门徒出来见以利沙, 对他说: “耶和华今日要接你的师傅离开你, 你知道不知道? ”他说: “我知道, 你们不要作声. ”

2:4 Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please stay here because Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So they came to Jericho.
以利亚对以利沙说: “耶和华差遣我往耶利哥去, 你可以在这里等候. ”以利沙说: “我指著永生的耶和华, 又敢在你面前起誓, 我必不离开你. ”于是二人到了耶利哥.

2:5 Then the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho came near to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master from you today?” He said, “I also know; be quiet!”
住耶利哥的先知门徒就近以利沙, 对他说: “耶和华今日要接你的师傅离开你, 你知道不知道? ”他说: “我知道, 你们不要作声. ”

2:6 Then Elijah said to him, “Please stay here, because Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So the two of them went on.
以利亚对以利沙说: “耶和华差遣我往约旦河去, 你可以在这里等候. ”以利沙说: “我指著永生的耶和华, 又敢在你面前起誓, 我必不离开你. ”于是二人一同前往.

2:7 Then fifty men from the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
有先知门徒去了五十人, 远远地站在他们对面; 二人在约旦河边站住.

2:8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the water. It divided in two, and the two of them crossed over on dry land.
以利亚将自己的外衣卷起来, 用以打水, 水就左右分开, 二人走干地而过.

2:9 After they crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I may do for you before I am taken away from you.” Then Elisha said, “Please let there come to me a double portion of your spirit.”
过去之后, 以利亚对以利沙说: “我未曾被接去离开你, 你要我为你做甚么, 只管求我. ”以利沙说: “愿感动你的灵加倍地感动我. ”

2:10 He said, “What you ask is difficult. If you see me being taken from you, it will be so for you, but if not, it will not happen.”
以利亚说: “你所求的难得. 虽然如此, 我被接去离开你的时候, 你若看见我, 就必得着; 不然, 必得不著了. ”

2:11 Then they were walking, talking as they went. Suddenly a fiery chariot with horses of fire appeared and separated between the two of them. Elijah went up in the storm to the heavens
他们正走着说话, 忽有火车火马将二人隔开, 以利亚就乘旋风升天去了.

2:12 while Elisha was watching and crying out, “My father, my father; the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” But he could not see him any longer, and he grasped his clothes and tore them in two pieces.
以利沙看见, 就呼叫说: “我父啊! 我父啊! 以色列的战车马兵啊! ”以后不再见他了. 于是以利沙把自己的衣服撕为两片.

2:13 Then he picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen off of him, and he returned and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
他拾起以利亚身上掉下来的外衣, 回去站在约旦河边.

2:14 He took Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from upon him and struck the water. Then he said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?” So he also struck the water, and it divided in two, and Elisha crossed over.
他用以利亚身上掉下来的外衣打水, 说: “耶和华─以利亚的神在哪里呢? ”打水之后, 水也左右分开, 以利沙就过来了.

2:15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho saw him from the other side, they declared, “The spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha,” and they came to meet him and bowed down to him to the ground.
住耶利哥的先知门徒从对面看见他, 就说: “感动以利亚的灵感动以利沙了. ”他们就来迎接他, 在他面前俯伏于地,

2:16 Then they said to him, “Look, there are with your servants fifty able men. Please let them go and look for your master, lest the Spirit of Yahweh has lifted him up and thrown him on one of the mountains or into one of the valleys,” but he said, “You must not send them.”
对他说: “仆人们这里有五十个壮士, 求你容他们去寻找你师傅, 或者耶和华的灵将他提起来, 投在某山某谷. ”以利沙说: “你们不必打发人去. ”

2:17 But they urged him until embarrassing him, so he said, “Send them.” So they sent fifty men, and they looked for three days, but they could not find him.
他们再三催促他, 他难以推辞, 就说: “你们打发人去吧! ”他们便打发五十人去, 寻找了三天, 也没有找著.

2:18 Then they returned to him while he was staying in Jericho. He said to them, “Did I not tell you not to go?”
以利沙仍然在耶利哥等候他们回到他那里; 他对他们说: “我岂没有告诉你们不必去吗? ”

2:19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “Please now, the location of the city is good, as my master can see, but the water is bad and the land unproductive.”
耶利哥城的人对以利沙说: “这城的地势美好, 我主看见了; 只是水恶劣, 土产不熟而落. ”

2:20 So he said, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him.
以利沙说: “你们拿一个新瓶来, 装盐给我”; 他们就拿来给他.

2:21 Then he went out to the spring of waters and threw the salt into it there and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘I hereby purify these waters; let there be no longer any death or unproductiveness from it.’ ”
他出到水源, 将盐倒在水中, 说: “耶和华如此说: ‘我治好了这水, 从此必不再使人死, 也不再使地土不生产. ’”

2:22 Then the waters were purified until this very day according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
于是那水治好了, 直到今日, 正如以利沙所说的.

2:23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; as he was going up along the way, young boys came out from the city and mocked at him and said to him, “Go up, baldhead; go up, baldhead!”
以利沙从那里上伯特利去, 正上去的时候, 有些童子从城里出来, 戏笑他说: “秃头的上去吧! 秃头的上去吧! ”

2:24 When he turned around and saw them, he cursed them in the name of Yahweh. Then two bears came out of the forest and mauled forty-two boys among them.
他回头看见, 就奉耶和华的名咒诅他们. 于是有两个母熊从林中出来, 撕裂他们中间四十二个童子.

2:25 Then he went from there to Mount Carmel and from there he returned to Samaria.
以利沙从伯特利上迦密山, 又从迦密山回到撒马利亚.

II Kings - Chapter 3

3:1 Now Joram the son of Ahab had become king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. He reigned twelve years
犹大王约沙法十八年, 亚哈的儿子约兰在撒马利亚登基作了以色列王十二年.

3:2 and did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not as his father or his mother, as he removed the stone pillars of Baal that his father had made.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 但不致像他父母所行的, 因为除掉他父所造巴力的柱像.

3:3 But he did cling to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin, and he did not depart from it.
然而, 他贴近尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪, 总不离开.

3:4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he used to deliver to the king of Israel a hundred thousand male lambs and a hundred thousand wool rams.
摩押王米沙牧养许多羊, 每年将十万羊羔的毛和十万公绵羊的毛给以色列王进贡.

3:5 It happened that when Ahab died, Mesha king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
亚哈死后, 摩押王背叛以色列王.

3:6 So King Joram went out on that day from Samaria, and he mustered all of Israel.
那时约兰王出撒马利亚, 数点以色列众人.

3:7 He went and sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab for the battle?” And he said, “I will go up. I am like you; my people are like your people; my horses are like your horses.”
前行的时候, 差人去见犹大王约沙法, 说: “摩押王背叛我, 你肯同我去攻打摩押吗? ”他说: “我肯上去, 你我不分彼此, 我的民与你的民一样, 我的马与你的马一样. ”

3:8 Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” And he answered, “By way of the wilderness of Edom.”
约兰说: “我们从哪条路上去呢? ”回答说: “从以东旷野的路上去. ”

3:9 So the king of Israel and the king of Judah and the king of Edom went around, a way of seven days, but there was no water for the army or for the animals which were with them.
于是, 以色列王和犹大王, 并以东王, 都一同去绕行七日的路程; 军队和所带的牲畜没有水喝.

3:10 Then the king of Israel said, “Aha, Yahweh has called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.”
以色列王说: “哀哉! 耶和华招聚我们这三王, 乃要交在摩押人的手里. ”

3:11 Then Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here that we might inquire guidance from Yahweh?” One of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, “Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
约沙法说: “这里不是有耶和华的先知吗? 我们可以托他求问耶和华. ”以色列王的一个臣子回答说: “这里有沙法的儿子以利沙, 就是从前服事以利亚的(原文是倒水在以利亚手上的). ”

3:12 Jehoshaphat said, “The word of Yahweh is with him.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went down to him.
约沙法说: “他必有耶和华的话. ”于是以色列王和约沙法, 并以东王都下去见他.

3:13 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What do we have in common? Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “No, for Yahweh has called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.”
以利沙对以色列王说: “我与你何干? 去问你父亲的先知和你母亲的先知吧! ”以色列王对他说: “不要这样说, 耶和华招聚我们这三王, 乃要交在摩押人的手里. ”

3:14 Then Elisha said, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely if I was not regarding the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would have not looked at you nor even glanced at you.
以利沙说: “我指著所事奉永生的万军耶和华起誓, 我若不看犹大王约沙法的情面, 必不理你, 不顾你.

3:15 But now, bring me a musician.” It happened that at the moment the musician played, the hand of Yahweh came upon him.
现在你们给我找一个弹琴的来. ”弹琴的时候, 耶和华的灵(原文是手)就降在以利沙身上.

3:16 He said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Make this wadi full of cisterns,’
他便说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你们要在这谷中满处挖沟;

3:17 for thus says Yahweh, ‘You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this wadi will be full of water; and you and all of your livestock and your animals shall drink.’
因为耶和华如此说: 你们虽不见风, 不见雨, 这谷必满了水, 使你们和牲畜有水喝. ’

3:18 And since this is too trivial in the eyes of Yahweh, he will also give Moab into your hand,
在耶和华眼中这还算为小事, 他也必将摩押人交在你们手中.

3:19 and you shall defeat every fortified city, every choice city, and you shall fell every good tree. All of the springs of water you shall stop up, and every tract of good land you shall ruin with the stones.”
你们必攻破一切坚城美邑, 砍伐各种佳树, 塞住一切水泉, 用石头糟踏一切美田. ”

3:20 It happened in the morning about the time of the morning offering, that water was suddenly coming from the direction of Edom and the land was filled with water.
次日早晨, 约在献祭的时候, 有水从以东而来, 遍地就满了水.

3:21 Now all of Moab had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, and all who were fighting age and up were called up, and they stood at the border.
摩押众人听见这三王上来要与他们争战, 凡能顶盔贯甲的, 无论老少, 尽都聚集站在边界上.

3:22 When they arose early in the morning, the sun shone on the waters, and Moab saw the waters from the opposite side as red as blood.
次日早晨, 日光照在水上, 摩押人起来, 看见对面水红如血,

3:23 Then they said, “This is blood! Certainly the kings have fought one another, and each has killed his neighbor. Now, to the war booty, O Moab!”
就说: “这是血啊! 必是三王互相击杀, 俱都灭亡. 摩押人哪, 我们现在去抢夺财物吧! ”

3:24 But when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel stood up and killed Moab, so that they fled from before them. They came at her and defeated Moab.
摩押人到了以色列营, 以色列人就起来攻打他们, 以致他们在以色列人面前逃跑. 以色列人往前追杀摩押人, 直杀入摩押的境内,

3:25 The cities they tore down, on every good tract of land they threw stones until it was filled up, every spring of water they stopped up, and every good tree they felled. They let the stone walls at Kir Hareseth remain, but the slingers surrounded and attacked it.
拆毁摩押的城邑, 各人抛石填满一切美田, 塞住一切水泉, 砍伐各种佳树, 只剩下吉珥‧哈列设的石墙; 甩石的兵在四围攻打那城.

3:26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too heavy for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew the sword to break through to the king of Edom, but they were not able.
摩押王见阵势甚大, 难以对敌, 就率领七百拿刀的兵, 要冲过阵去到以东王那里, 却是不能;

3:27 He took his firstborn son who was to become king in his place and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. Great wrath came upon Israel, and they withdrew from him and returned to the land.
便将那应当接续他作王的长子, 在城上献为燔祭. 以色列人遭遇耶和华的大怒(或译: 招人痛恨), 于是三王离开摩押王, 各回本国去了.

II Kings - Chapter 4

4:1 A certain woman from the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. Now you know that your servant was a fearer of Yahweh, but the creditor came to take two of my children for himself as slaves.
有一个先知门徒的妻哀求以利沙说: “你仆人─我丈夫死了, 他敬畏耶和华是你所知道的. 现在有债主来, 要取我两个儿子作奴仆. ”

4:2 Elisha asked her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” Then she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of olive oil.”
以利沙问她说: “我可以为你做甚么呢? 你告诉我, 你家里有甚么? ”她说: “婢女家中除了一瓶油之外, 没有甚么. ”

4:3 Then he said to her, “Go, ask for yourself some containers from the streets, from all your neighbors. You must collect as many empty containers as you can!
以利沙说: “你去, 向你众邻舍借空器皿, 不要少借;

4:4 You must also go and shut the door behind you and your children, and you must pour out oil into all of these containers and set the filled ones aside.”
回到家里, 关上门, 你和你儿子在里面将油倒在所有的器皿里, 倒满了的放在一边. ”

4:5 So she went from him, and she shut the door behind her and her children. They were bringing containers to her, and she kept pouring.
于是, 妇人离开以利沙去了, 关上门, 自己和儿子在里面; 儿子把器皿拿来, 她就倒油.

4:6 It happened that when the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring near me another container,” but he said to her, “There is not another container.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
器皿都满了, 她对儿子说: “再给我拿器皿来. ”儿子说: “再没有器皿了. ”油就止住了.

4:7 So she came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the olive oil and repay your debt. You and your sons can live on what is left over.”
妇人去告诉神人, 神人说: “你去卖油还债, 所剩的你和你儿子可以靠着度日. ”

4:8 It happened one day that Elisha passed through to Shunem where there was a wealthy woman, and she urged him to eat bread; so it happened each time he passed through, he would stop there to eat.
一日, 以利沙走到书念, 在那里有一个大户的妇人强留他吃饭. 此后, 以利沙每从那里经过就进去吃饭.

4:9 She said to her husband, “Please now, I know that he is a holy man of God who is passing our way regularly;
妇人对丈夫说: “我看出那常从我们这里经过的是圣洁的神人.

4:10 let us make a small enclosed room upstairs and put a bed, table, chair, and lampstand there for him, so that when he comes to us, he can turn and stay there.
我们可以为他在墙上盖一间小楼, 在其中安放床榻,桌子,椅子,灯台, 他来到我们这里, 就可以住在其间. ”

4:11 One day it happened that he came there and went to the upper room and lay down there.
一日, 以利沙来到那里, 就进了那楼躺卧.

4:12 He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call to this Shunammite,” so he called to her, and she stood before him.
以利沙吩咐仆人基哈西说: “你叫这书念妇人来. ”他就把妇人叫了来, 妇人站在以利沙面前.

4:13 He said to him, “Please say to her, ‘Look, you took all this trouble, showing care for us; what is there for me to do for you? To speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’ ” She said, “I am living among my people.”
以利沙吩咐仆人说: “你对她说: 你既为我们费了许多心思, 可以为你做甚么呢? 你向王或元帅有所求的没有? ”她回答说: “我在我本乡安居无事. ”

4:14 Then he said, “What may be done for her?” Gehazi said, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
以利沙对仆人说: “究竟当为她做甚么呢? ”基哈西说: “她没有儿子, 她丈夫也老了. ”

4:15 And he said, “Call for her,” so he called for her and she stood in the doorway.
以利沙说: “再叫她来. ”于是叫了她来, 她就站在门口.

4:16 And he said, “At this time next spring, you will be embracing a son.” She said, “No, my lord, O man of God! You must not tell a lie to your servant!”
以利沙说: “明年到这时候, 你必抱一个儿子. ”她说: “神人, 我主啊, 不要那样欺哄婢女. ”

4:17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son in the spring, which Elisha had promised to her.
妇人果然怀孕, 到了那时候, 生了一个儿子, 正如以利沙所说的.

4:18 The child grew older, and it happened one day that he went out to his father and to the reapers.
孩子渐渐长大, 一日到他父亲和收割的人那里,

4:19 Then he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to the servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
他对父亲说: “我的头啊, 我的头啊! ”他父亲对仆人说: “把他抱到他母亲那里. ”

4:20 So they carried him and brought him to his mother; he sat on her lap until noon and then died.
仆人抱去, 交给他母亲; 孩子坐在母亲的膝上, 到晌午就死了.

4:21 She went up, laid him on the bed of the man of God, closed the door, and went out behind it.
他母亲抱他上了楼, 将他放在神人的床上, 关上门出来,

4:22 She called to her husband and said, “Please send one of the servants and one of the female donkeys for me, so that I can go quickly up to the man of God and return.”
呼叫她丈夫说: “你叫一个仆人给我牵一匹驴来, 我要快快地去见神人, 就回来. ”

4:23 And he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the new moon nor the Sabbath!” And she said, “Peace.”
丈夫说: “今日不是月朔, 也不是安息日, 你为何要去见他呢? ”妇人说: “平安无事. ”

4:24 She saddled the female donkey, and she said to her servant, “Drive along and go; you must not hold me back from riding, unless I tell you.”
于是备上驴, 对仆人说: “你快快赶着走, 我若不吩咐你, 就不要迟慢. ”

4:25 So she went and came to the man of God by Mount Carmel. It happened when the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, “There is this Shunammite.
妇人就往迦密山去见神人. 神人远远地看见她, 对仆人基哈西说: “看哪, 书念的妇人来了!

4:26 Now, please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is it peace for you? Is it peace for your husband? Is it peace for the boy?’ ” She said, “Peace.”
你跑去迎接她, 问她说: 你平安吗? 你丈夫平安吗? 孩子平安吗? ”她说: “平安. ”

4:27 So she came to the man of God at the mountain, and she caught hold of his feet. Then Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, “Let her alone, for her soul is bitter, and Yahweh has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
妇人上了山, 到神人那里, 就抱住神人的脚. 基哈西前来要推开她, 神人说: “由她吧! 因为她心里愁苦, 耶和华向我隐瞒, 没有指示我. ”

4:28 Then she said, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say that you must not mislead me?”
妇人说: “我何尝向我主求过儿子呢? 我岂没有说过, 不要欺哄我吗? ”

4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, you must not greet them; if anyone greets you, you must not answer them. You must put my staff on the face of the boy.”
以利沙吩咐基哈西说: “你束上腰, 手拿我的杖前去; 若遇见人, 不要向他问安; 人若向你问安, 也不要回答; 要把我的杖放在孩子脸上. ”

4:30 Then the mother of the boy said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will surely not leave you.” So he got up and went after her.
孩子的母亲说: “我指著永生的耶和华, 又敢在你面前起誓, 我必不离开你. ”于是以利沙起身, 随着她去了.

4:31 Gehazi crossed over before them, and he put the staff on the face of the boy; but there was no sound, and there was no sign of life, so he returned to meet him. He told him, saying, “The boy did not wake up.”
基哈西先去, 把杖放在孩子脸上, 却没有声音, 也没有动静. 基哈西就迎著以利沙回来, 告诉他说: “孩子还没有醒过来. ”

4:32 When Elisha came to the house, here was the boy dead, lying on his bed.
以利沙来到, 进了屋子, 看见孩子死了, 放在自己的床上.

4:33 He went and closed the door behind the two of them and prayed to Yahweh.
他就关上门, 只有自己和孩子在里面, 他便祈祷耶和华,

4:34 Then he went up and lay upon the child and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his palms on his palms. As he bent down over him, the flesh of the boy became warm.
上床伏在孩子身上, 口对口, 眼对眼, 手对手; 既伏在孩子身上, 孩子的身体就渐渐温和了.

4:35 He returned and went to and fro in the house one time, then he went up and bent over him. Then the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
然后他下来, 在屋里来往走了一趟, 又上去伏在孩子身上, 孩子打了七个喷嚏, 就睁开眼睛了.

4:36 Elisha called to Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her and she came to him; then he said, “Pick up your son.”
以利沙叫基哈西说: “你叫这书念妇人来”; 于是叫了她来. 以利沙说: “将你儿子抱起来. ”

4:37 She came and fell at his feet and bowed down to the ground; then she picked up her son and went out.
妇人就进来, 在以利沙脚前俯伏于地, 抱起她儿子出去了.

4:38 So Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now the famine was in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. He said to his servant, put on the large pot and cook a stew for the sons of the prophets.
以利沙又来到吉甲, 那地正有饥荒. 先知门徒坐在他面前, 他吩咐仆人说: “你将大锅放在火上, 给先知门徒熬汤. ”

4:39 One went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine and gathered wild gourds from it and filled his cloak. Then he came and cut them into the pot of stew, but they did not know what they were.
有一个人去到田野掐菜, 遇见一棵野瓜籐, 就摘了一兜野瓜回来, 切了搁在熬汤的锅中, 因为他们不知道是甚么东西;

4:40 They served the men to eat, but when they ate from the stew, they cried out and said, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” They were not able to eat it.
倒出来给众人吃, 吃的时候, 都喊叫说: “神人哪, 锅中有致死的毒物! ”所以众人不能吃了.

4:41 Then he said, “Bring some flour,” and he threw it into the pot. He then said, “Serve the people and let them eat.” There was nothing harmful in the pot.
以利沙说: “拿点面来”, 就把面撒在锅中, 说: “倒出来, 给众人吃吧! ”锅中就没有毒了.

4:42 A man came from Baal-Shalishah and brought food to the man of God: firstfruits and twenty loaves of barley bread, with ripe grain in his sack. He said, “Give it to the people and let them eat.”
有一个人从巴力‧沙利沙来, 带着初熟大麦做的饼二十个, 并新穗子, 装在口袋里送给神人. 神人说: “把这些给众人吃. ”

4:43 Then his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” He said, “Give it to the people and let them eat, for thus Yahweh says, ‘They shall eat and have some left over.’ ”
仆人说: “这一点岂可摆给一百人吃呢? ”以利沙说: “你只管给众人吃吧! 因为耶和华如此说, 众人必吃了, 还剩下. ”

4:44 So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of Yahweh.
仆人就摆在众人面前, 他们吃了, 果然还剩下, 正如耶和华所说的.

II Kings - Chapter 5

5:1 Now Naaman was the commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man before his master and highly regarded, for by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. Now the man was a mighty warrior, but he was afflicted with a skin disease.
亚兰王的元帅乃缦在他主人面前为尊为大, 因耶和华曾藉他使亚兰人得胜; 他又是大能的勇士, 只是长了大痲疯.

5:2 When the Arameans went on a raid, they brought back a young girl from the land of Israel, and she came into the service of the wife of Naaman.
先前亚兰人成群地出去, 从以色列国掳了一个小女子, 这女子就服事乃缦的妻.

5:3 She said to her mistress, “If only my lord would come before the prophet who is in Samaria; then he would cure his skin disease.”
她对主母说: “巴不得我主人去见撒马利亚的先知, 必能治好他的大痲疯. ”

5:4 He came and told his master, saying, “Thus and so the girl who is from the land of Israel said.”
乃缦进去, 告诉他主人说, 以色列国的女子如此如此说.

5:5 So the king of Aram said, “Go, I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He went and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
亚兰王说: “你可以去, 我也达信于以色列王. ”于是乃缦带银子十他连得, 金子六千舍客勒, 衣裳十套, 就去了;

5:6 So he brought the letter of the king to Israel, saying, “Now, when this letter comes to you, I have just sent Naaman my servant to you that you may cure him from his skin disease.”
且带信给以色列王, 信上说: “我打发臣仆乃缦去见你, 你接到这信, 就要治好他的大痲疯. ”

5:7 It happened that when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God to cause death or to give life? This man is sending a man to me to cure his disease. Indeed! But know and see that he seeks an opportunity against me.”
以色列王看了信就撕裂衣服, 说: “我岂是神, 能使人死使人活呢? 这人竟打发人来, 叫我治好他的大痲疯. 你们看一看, 这人何以寻隙攻击我呢? ”

5:8 It happened that as soon as Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, “Why did you tear your clothes? Please may he come to me, that he might know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂衣服, 就打发人去见王, 说: “你为甚么撕了衣服呢? 可使那人到我这里来, 他就知道以色列中有先知了. ”

5:9 Then Naaman came with his horses and his chariots, and he stopped at the doorway of the house of Elisha.
于是, 乃缦带着车马到了以利沙的家, 站在门前.

5:10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, you must wash seven times in the Jordan, then your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be clean.”
以利沙打发一个使者, 对乃缦说: “你去在约旦河中沐浴七回, 你的肉就必复原, 而得洁净. ”

5:11 But Naaman became angry and he went and said, “Look, I said to myself, ‘Surely he will come out, stand, call upon the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hands over the spot; then he would take away the skin disease.’
乃缦却发怒走了, 说: “我想他必定出来见我, 站着求告耶和华─他神的名, 在患处以上摇手, 治好这大痲疯.

5:12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all of the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them that I may be clean?” Then he turned and left in anger.
大马士革的河亚罢拿和法珥法岂不比以色列的一切水更好吗? 我在那里沐浴不得洁净吗? ”于是气忿忿地转身去了.

5:13 But his servants came near and spoke to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had spoken a difficult thing to you to do, would you not have done it? Why not even when he says to you, ‘Wash and you shall be clean’?”
他的仆人进前来, 对他说: “我父啊, 先知若吩咐你做一件大事, 你岂不做吗? 何况说你去沐浴而得洁净呢? ”

5:14 So he went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh returned as the flesh of a small boy, and he was clean.
于是乃缦下去, 照着神人的话, 在约旦河里沐浴七回; 他的肉复原, 好像小孩子的肉, 他就洁净了.

5:15 When he returned to the man of God, he and all of his army, he came and stood before him and said, “Please now, I know that there is no God in all of the world except in Israel. So then, please take a gift from your servant.”
乃缦带着一切跟随他的人, 回到神人那里, 站在他面前, 说: “如今我知道, 除了以色列之外, 普天下没有神. 现在求你收点仆人的礼物. ”

5:16 And he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I surely will not take it.” Still he urged him to take it, but he refused.
以利沙说: “我指著所事奉永生的耶和华起誓, 我必不受. ”乃缦再三地求他, 他却不受.

5:17 Then Naaman said, “If not, then please let a load of soil on a pair of mules be given to your servants, for your servant will never again bring a burnt offering and sacrifice to other gods, but only to Yahweh.
乃缦说: “你若不肯受, 请将两骡子驮的土赐给仆人. 从今以后, 仆人必不再将燔祭或平安祭献与别神, 只献给耶和华.

5:18 As far as this matter, may Yahweh pardon your servant when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he is leaning himself on my arm, that I also bow down in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh please pardon your servant in this matter.”
惟有一件事, 愿耶和华饶恕你仆人: 我主人进临门庙叩拜的时候, 我用手搀他在临门庙, 我也屈身. 我在临门庙屈身的这事, 愿耶和华饶恕我. ”

5:19 He said to him, “Go in peace,” so he went from him a short distance.
以利沙对他说: “你可以平平安安地回去! ”乃缦就离开他去了; 走了不远,

5:20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha, the man of God, thought, “Look, my master has refrained from taking what this Aramean Naaman brought from his hand. As Yahweh lives, I will certainly run after him, and I will accept something from him.”
神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说: “我主人不愿从这亚兰人乃缦手里受他带来的礼物, 我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 我必跑去追上他, 向他要些. ”

5:21 So Gehazi pursued after Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he jumped off his chariot to meet him and asked him, “Is it peace?”
于是基哈西追赶乃缦. 乃缦看见有人追赶, 就急忙下车迎着他, 说: “都平安吗? ”

5:22 He said, “Peace. My master has sent me saying, ‘Look, just now two servants from the hill country of Ephraim came to me, from the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.’ ”
说: “都平安. 我主人打发我来说: ‘刚才有两个少年人, 是先知门徒, 从以法莲山地来见我, 请你赐他们一他连得银子, 两套衣裳. ’”

5:23 Then Naaman said, “Be prepared to accept two talents.” So he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing and gave it to two of his servants and they carried it before him.
乃缦说: “请受二他连得”; 再三地请受, 便将二他连得银子装在两个口袋里, 又将两套衣裳交给两个仆人; 他们就在基哈西前头抬着走.

5:24 When he came to the citadel, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, then sent away the men so that they went.
到了山冈, 基哈西从他们手中接过来, 放在屋里, 打发他们回去.

5:25 When he went and stood by his master, Elisha asked him, “From where have you come, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant has not gone anywhere.”
基哈西进去, 站在他主人面前. 以利沙问他说: “基哈西你从哪里来? ”回答说: “仆人没有往哪里去. ”

5:26 Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you as the man turned from on his chariot to meet you? Is it time to take silver, clothes, olive orchards, vineyards, sheep, oxen, male slaves, and female slaves?
以利沙对他说: “那人下车转回迎你的时候, 我的心岂没有去呢? 这岂是受银子,衣裳,买橄榄园,葡萄园,牛羊,仆婢的时候呢?

5:27 The skin disease of Naaman shall cling to you and to your offspring forever.” Then he went out from before him having a skin disease like the snow.
因此, 乃缦的大痲疯必沾染你和你的后裔, 直到永远. ”基哈西从以利沙面前退出去, 就长了大痲疯, 像雪那样白.

II Kings - Chapter 6

6:1 Then the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please look; the place where we are living before you is too cramped for us.
先知门徒对以利沙说: “看哪, 我们同你所住的地方过于窄小,

6:2 Let us please go to the Jordan and each bring from there one log that we might make a place there for us to live.” Then he said, “Do so.”
求你容我们往约旦河去, 各人从那里取一根木料建造房屋居住. ”他说: “你们去吧! ”

6:3 Then a certain one said, “Please be prepared and go with your servants,” and he said, “I will go.”
有一人说: “求你与仆人同去. ”回答说: “我可以去. ”

6:4 He went with them, and they went to the Jordan, and they cut down the trees.
于是以利沙与他们同去. 到了约旦河, 就砍伐树木.

6:5 It happened as the one was felling the log, that the iron ax fell into the water. He called out and said, “Oh, no! My master, it was borrowed!”
有一人砍树的时候, 斧头掉在水里, 他就呼叫说: “哀哉! 我主啊, 这斧子是借的. ”

6:6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” So he showed him the place, and then he cut off a stick and threw it there and made the iron ax float.
神人问说: “掉在哪里了? ”他将那地方指给以利沙看. 以利沙砍了一根木头, 抛在水里, 斧头就漂上来了.

6:7 Then he said, “Pick it up for yourself,” so he stretched out his hand and took it.
以利沙说: “拿起来吧! ”那人就伸手拿起来了.

6:8 The king of Aram was fighting with Israel, so he consulted with his officers, saying, “My camp is at such and such a place.”
亚兰王与以色列人争战, 和他的臣仆商议说: “我要在某处某处安营. ”

6:9 Then the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Take care while crossing over to this place, because the Arameans are descending there.”
神人打发人去见以色列王, 说: “你要谨慎, 不要从某处经过, 因为亚兰人从那里下来了. ”

6:10 So the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God said to him and warned him, so he was on guard there continually.
以色列王差人去窥探神人所告诉所警戒他去的地方, 就防备未受其害, 不止一两次.

6:11 Then the heart of the king of Aram was stormy because of this matter, so he called his servants and said to them, “Can you not tell me who among us sides with the king of Israel?”
亚兰王因这事心里惊疑, 召了臣仆来, 对他们说: “我们这里有谁帮助以色列王, 你们不指给我吗? ”

6:12 Then one of his servants said, “No, my lord the king, but Elisha the prophet who is in Israel tells the king of Israel things which you speak in your own bedchamber.”
有一个臣仆说: “我主, 我王! 无人帮助他, 只有以色列中的先知以利沙, 将王在卧房所说的话告诉以色列王了. ”

6:13 Then he said, “Go and see where he is so that I can send and capture him.” Then he was told to him, “Look, he is in Dothan.”
王说: “你们去探他在哪里, 我好打发人去捉拿他. ”有人告诉王说: “他在多坍. ”

6:14 So he sent horses, chariots, and an oppressing army there. They arrived at night and surrounded the town.
王就打发车马和大军往那里去, 夜间到了, 围困那城.

6:15 The attendant of the man of God arose early and went out, and look, the army was surrounding the city with horses and chariots. His servant said to him, “Oh no, my master! What shall we do?”
神人的仆人清早起来出去, 看见车马军兵围困了城. 仆人对神人说: “哀哉! 我主啊, 我们怎样行才好呢? ”

6:16 And he said, “Don’t be afraid, for more are with us than are with them.”
神人说: “不要惧怕! 与我们同在的比与他们同在的更多. ”

6:17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Yahweh, please open his eyes that he may see,” and Yahweh opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw, and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
以利沙祷告说: “耶和华啊, 求你开这少年人的眼目, 使他能看见. ”耶和华开他的眼目, 他就看见满山有火车火马围绕以利沙.

6:18 They came down to him, and Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, “Please strike this people with blindness,” so he struck them with blindness as Elisha had spoken.
敌人下到以利沙那里, 以利沙祷告耶和华说: “求你使这些人的眼目昏迷. ”耶和华就照以利沙的话, 使他们的眼目昏迷.

6:19 Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the way and this is not the city. Come after me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” Then he brought them to Samaria.
以利沙对他们说: “这不是那道, 也不是那城; 你们跟我去, 我必领你们到所寻找的人那里. ”于是领他们到了撒马利亚.

6:20 It happened at the moment they came to Samaria, Elisha said, “O Yahweh, open the eyes of these that they may see,” so Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw, and look, the middle of Samaria!
他们进了撒马利亚, 以利沙祷告说: “耶和华啊, 求你开这些人的眼目, 使他们能看见. ”耶和华开他们的眼目, 他们就看见了, 不料, 是在撒马利亚的城中.

6:21 Then the king of Israel said to Elisha when he saw them, “Shall I kill them? Shall I kill, my father?”
以色列王见了他们, 就问以利沙说: “我父啊, 我可以击杀他们吗? ”

6:22 And he said, “You shall not kill. Would you kill those whom you took captive with the sword or with the bow? Put food and water before them that they may eat and drink and then go to their master.”
回答说: “不可击杀他们! 就是你用刀用弓掳来的, 岂可击杀他们吗(或译: 也不可击杀, 何况这些人呢)? 当在他们面前设摆饮食, 使他们吃喝回到他们的主人那里. ”

6:23 So he made a great feast for them, and they ate and drank; then he sent them, and they went to their master. And the bands of the Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.
王就为他们预备了许多食物; 他们吃喝完了, 打发他们回到他们主人那里. 从此, 亚兰军不再犯以色列境了.

6:24 It happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Aram assembled all of his army and marched up and laid siege against Samaria.
此后, 亚兰王便‧哈达聚集他的全军, 上来围困撒马利亚.

6:25 There was a great famine in Samaria, and behold, a siege was against it, until the head of a donkey went for eighty shekels of silver, and one fourth of the measure of the dung of doves went for five shekels of silver.
于是撒马利亚被围困, 有饥荒, 甚至一个驴头值银八十舍客勒, 二升鸽子粪值银五舍客勒.

6:26 It happened that the king of Israel was crossing over on the wall, and a woman called out to him, saying, “Help, my lord the king!”
一日, 以色列王在城上经过, 有一个妇人向他呼叫说: “我主, 我王啊! 求你帮助. ”

6:27 He said, “No, let Yahweh help you. How can I save you? From the threshing floor or from the wine press?”
王说: “耶和华不帮助你, 我从何处帮助你? 是从禾场, 是从酒醡呢? ”

6:28 The king said to her, “What is the problem?” Then the woman said, “This woman said to me, ‘Give me your son, and let us eat him today, then tomorrow we will eat my son.’
王问妇人说: “你有甚么苦处? ”她回答说: “这妇人对我说: ‘将你的儿子取来, 我们今日可以吃, 明日可以吃我的儿子. ’

6:29 So we cooked my son and ate him, and I said to her the next day, ‘Give your son that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
我们就煮了我的儿子吃了. 次日我对她说: ‘要将你的儿子取来, 我们可以吃. ’她却将她的儿子藏起来了. ”

6:30 It happened that when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he had been walking on the wall, and the people saw, and behold, sackcloth was over his flesh underneath.
王听见妇人的话, 就撕裂衣服; (王在城上经过)百姓看见王贴身穿着麻衣.

6:31 Then he said, “May God do to me and thus may he add, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today!”
王说: “我今日若容沙法的儿子以利沙的头仍在他项上, 愿神重重地降罚与我! ”

6:32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house and the elders were sitting with him, and the king dispatched a man from before him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Did you see that this son of a murderer has sent to remove my head? Look, when the messenger comes, close the door; and you must hold the door closed against him. Is not the sound of the feet of his master behind him?”
那时, 以利沙正坐在家中, 长老也与他同坐. 王打发一个伺候他的人去; 他还没有到, 以利沙对长老说: “你们看这凶手之子, 打发人来斩我的头; 你们看着使者来到, 就关上门, 用门将他推出去. 在他后头不是有他主人脚步的响声吗? ”

6:33 While he was still speaking with them, suddenly the messenger was coming down to him, and he said, “Look this trouble is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
正说话的时候, 使者来到, 王也到了, 说: “这灾祸是从耶和华那里来的, 我何必再仰望耶和华呢? ”

II Kings - Chapter 7

7:1 Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh: ‘Thus says Yahweh, “At this time tomorrow a seah of wheat bread flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.’ ”
以利沙说: “你们要听耶和华的话, 耶和华如此说: 明日约到这时候, 在撒马利亚城门口, 一细亚细面要卖银一舍客勒, 二细亚大麦也要卖银一舍客勒. ”

7:2 Then the officer on whom the king relied answered the man of God and said, “Look, even if Yahweh is making windows in heaven, could this thing happen?” And he said, “Look, you will be seeing it with your eyes, but you shall not eat from it there.”
有一个搀扶王的军长对神人说: “即便耶和华使天开了窗户, 也不能有这事. ”以利沙说: “你必亲眼看见, 却不得吃. ”

7:3 Now four men who had a skin disease were at the entrance of the gate, and they said to each other, “Why are we sitting here until we die?
在城门那里有四个长大痲疯的人, 他们彼此说: “我们为何坐在这里等死呢?

7:4 If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; but if we sit here, we shall die. So then, come, let us fall into the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we shall live; but if they kill us, then we shall die.”
我们若说, 进城去吧! 城里有饥荒, 必死在那里; 若在这里坐着不动, 也必是死. 来吧, 我们去投降亚兰人的军队, 他们若留我们的活命, 就活着; 若杀我们, 就死了吧! ”

7:5 So they got up at dusk to go to the camp of the Arameans. They went up to the edge of the camp of the Arameans, and look, there was no man there!
黄昏的时候, 他们起来往亚兰人的营盘去; 到了营边, 不见一人在那里.

7:6 Now the Lord had caused the camp of the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, the sound of horses, and the sound of a great army. So they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us!”
因为主使亚兰人的军队听见车马的声音, 是大军的声音; 他们就彼此说: “这必是以色列王贿买赫人的诸王和埃及人的诸王来攻击我们. ”

7:7 So they got up and fled at dusk and left their tents, their horses, their donkeys, and the camp as it was, and they fled for their lives.
所以, 在黄昏的时候他们起来逃跑, 撇下帐棚,马,驴, 营盘照旧, 只顾逃命.

7:8 When these who had the skin disease came to the edge of the camp, they went into a certain tent and they ate, drank, and took from there silver and gold and clothes. Then they went and hid them, then returned and came to another tent, and they took from there and went and hid them.
那些长大痲疯的到了营边, 进了帐棚, 吃了喝了, 且从其中拿出金银和衣服来, 去收藏了; 回来又进了一座帐棚, 从其中拿出财物来去收藏了.

7:9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news! If we are silent and wait until the light of morning, they will find us and we will be punished. So then, come, let us go and tell the house of the king.”
那时, 他们彼此说: “我们所做的不好! 今日是有好信息的日子, 我们竟不作声! 若等到天亮, 罪必临到我们. 来吧, 我们与王家报信去! ”

7:10 When they came, they called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them, saying, “We came to the camp of the Arameans, and behold, there was no man or the voice of a man there! Only the horses and the donkeys were tied up, and the tents were left as they were.”
他们就去叫守城门的, 告诉他们说: “我们到了亚兰人的营, 不见一人在那里, 也无人声, 只有拴著的马和驴, 帐棚都照旧. ”

7:11 Then the gatekeepers called and told it inside the house of the king.
守城门的叫了众守门的人来, 他们就进去与王家报信.

7:12 The king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Please let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. The Arameans know that we are hungry, so they went out from the camp to hide in the field, saying, ‘When they go out from the city, we shall seize them alive and go into the city.’ ”
王夜间起来, 对臣仆说: “我告诉你们亚兰人向我们如何行. 他们知道我们饥饿, 所以离营, 埋伏在田野, 说: ‘以色列人出城的时候, 我们就活捉他们, 得以进城. ’”

7:13 Then one of his servants replied and said, “Please let them take five of the remaining horses which remain in the city; behold, they are like all of the multitude of Israel that remain in it; they are like all the multitude of Israel who have perished. Let us send and see.”
有一个臣仆对王说: “我们不如用城里剩下之马中的五匹马(马和城里剩下的以色列人都是一样, 快要灭绝), 打发人去窥探. ”

7:14 So he took two charioteer horsemen, and the king sent after the camp of the Arameans, saying, “Go, find out,”
于是取了两辆车和马, 王差人去追寻亚兰军, 说: “你们去窥探窥探. ”

7:15 and they went after them to the Jordan. Look, all of the way was littered with clothes and equipment which the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. Then the messengers returned and told the king.
他们就追寻到约旦河, 看见满道上都是亚兰人急跑时丢弃的衣服器具, 使者就回来报告王.

7:16 So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. A seah of wheat flour went for a shekel and two seahs of barley went for a shekel according to the word of Yahweh.
众人就出去, 掳掠亚兰人的营盘. 于是一细亚细面卖银一舍客勒, 二细亚大麦也卖银一舍客勒, 正如耶和华所说的.

7:17 Then the king appointed the officer he was depending on over the gate, but the people trampled him and he died, according to that which the man of God had said which he spoke when the king came down to him.
王派搀扶他的那军长在城门口弹压, 众人在那里将他践踏, 他就死了, 正如神人在王下来见他的时候所说的.

7:18 It happened as the man of God spoke to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley shall be sold for a shekel and a seah of wheat flour for a shekel at this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.”
神人曾对王说: “明日约到这时候, 在撒马利亚城门口, 二细亚大麦要卖银一舍客勒, 一细亚细面也要卖银一舍客勒. ”

7:19 Then the officer had replied to the man of God and said, “Look, even if Yahweh is opening the windows in heaven, could this thing happen?” And he had said, “Look you are about to see it with your eyes, but you will not eat from it.”
那军长对神人说: “即便耶和华使天开了窗户, 也不能有这事. ”神人说: “你必亲眼看见, 却不得吃. ”

7:20 So it had happened to him; the people trampled him in the gate and he died.
这话果然应验在他身上; 因为众人在城门口将他践踏, 他就死了.

II Kings - Chapter 8

8:1 Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Get up and go, you and your household, and dwell as an alien wherever you can, for Yahweh has called for a famine, and it will come to the land for seven years.”
以利沙曾对所救活之子的那妇人说: “你和你的全家要起身往你可住的地方去住, 因为耶和华命饥荒降在这地七年. ”

8:2 So the woman got up and did according to the word of the man of God. She and her household went and dwelt as an alien in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
妇人就起身, 照神人的话带着全家往非利士地去, 住了七年.

8:3 It happened at the end of seven years that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines and went out to appeal to the king for her household and for her properties.
七年完了, 那妇人从非利士地回来, 就出去为自己的房屋田地哀告王.

8:4 Now the king was speaking to Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all of the great things which Elisha has done.”
那时王正与神人的仆人基哈西说: “请你将以利沙所行的一切大事告诉我. ”

8:5 It happened that as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, suddenly the woman whose son he had restored to life was crying out to the king about her household and about her field. Then Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life!”
基哈西告诉王以利沙如何使死人复活, 恰巧以利沙所救活,她儿子的那妇人为自己的房屋田地来哀告王. 基哈西说: “我主我王, 这就是那妇人, 这是她的儿子, 就是以利沙所救活的. ”

8:6 So the king asked the woman, and she told him. So the king appointed for her a certain court official, saying, “Restore all that is hers and all the yield of the field from the day she left the land up to now.”
王问那妇人, 她就把那事告诉王. 于是王为她派一个太监, 说: “凡属这妇人的都还给她, 自从她离开本地直到今日, 她田地的出产也都还给她. ”

8:7 Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram was ill, and he was told, “The man of God has come up here.”
以利沙来到大马士革, 亚兰王便‧哈达正患病. 有人告诉王说: “神人来到这里了. ”

8:8 Then the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand and go meet the man of God. Inquire of Yahweh from him, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this illness?’ ”
王就吩咐哈薛说: “你带着礼物去见神人, 托他求问耶和华, 我这病能好不能好? ”

8:9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand of all of the good things of Damascus, a load on each of forty camels, and he came and stood before him. Then he said, “Your son Ben-Hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Shall I recover from this illness?’ ”
于是哈薛用四十个骆驼, 驮著大马士革的各样美物为礼物, 去见以利沙. 到了他那里, 站在他面前, 说: “你儿子亚兰王便．哈达打发我来见你, 他问说: ‘我这病能好不能好? ’”

8:10 Elisha said to him, “Go; say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he certainly will die.”
以利沙对哈薛说: “你回去告诉他说, 这病必能好; 但耶和华指示我, 他必要死. ”

8:11 Then the man fixed his gaze and stared at him until he was ashamed and the man of God cried.
神人定睛看着哈薛, 甚至他惭愧. 神人就哭了;

8:12 Then Hazael asked, “Why is my lord crying?” He said, “Because I know what evil you will do to the Israelites. You will set their fortifications on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword. Their little ones you will dash to pieces, and their pregnant women you will rip open!”
哈薛说: “我主为甚么哭? ”回答说: “因为我知道你必苦害以色列人, 用火焚烧他们的保障, 用刀杀死他们的壮丁, 摔死他们的婴孩, 剖开他们的孕妇. ”

8:13 Then Hazael said, “But how could your servant, who is like a dog, do this great thing?” Elisha said, “Yahweh has shown me that you are to be king over Aram.”
哈薛说: “你仆人算甚么, 不过是一条狗, 焉能行这大事呢? ”以利沙回答说: “耶和华指示我, 你必作亚兰王. ”

8:14 So he departed from Elisha and came to his master. He asked him, “What did Elisha say to you.” So he said, “He said to me that you will certainly recover.”
哈薛离开以利沙, 回去见他的主人. 主人问他说: “以利沙对你说甚么? ”回答说: “他告诉我你必能好. ”

8:15 On the next day, he took the bed cover, dipped it in the water, and spread it over his face so that he died. Then Hazael became king in his place.
次日, 哈薛拿被窝浸在水中, 蒙住王的脸, 王就死了. 于是哈薛篡了他的位.

8:16 Now in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Joram son of Jehoshaphat became the king of Judah.
以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰第五年, 犹大王约沙法还在位的时候, 约沙法的儿子约兰登基作了犹大王.

8:17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
约兰登基的时候年三十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王八年.

8:18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab became his wife, and he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
他行以色列诸王所行的, 与亚哈家一样; 因为他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事.

8:19 Yet Yahweh was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as he had promised to give him a lamp for his sons always.
耶和华却因他仆人大卫的缘故, 仍不肯灭绝犹大, 照他所应许大卫的话, 永远赐灯光与他的子孙.

8:20 In his days, Edom rebelled against the rule of Judah, and they set up a king over them.
约兰年间, 以东人背叛犹大, 脱离他的权下, 自己立王.

8:21 So Joram crossed over to Zair and all the chariots with him. It happened that he arose by night and attacked Edom who had surrounded him and the commanders of the chariots; but the army fled to their tents.
约兰率领所有的战车往撒益去, 夜间起来, 攻打围困他的以东人和车兵长; 犹大兵就逃跑, 各回各家去了.

8:22 So Edom has rebelled against the rule of Judah until this day; then Libnah also rebelled at that time.
这样, 以东人背叛犹大, 脱离他的权下, 直到今日. 那时立拿人也背叛了.

8:23 The remainder of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约兰其余的事, 凡他所行的, 都写在犹大列王记上.

8:24 So Joram slept with his ancestors, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and Ahaziah his son became king in place of him.
约兰与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里. 他儿子亚哈谢接续他作王.

8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Joram became king of Judah.
以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰十二年, 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢登基.

8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
他登基的时候年二十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王一年. 他母亲名叫亚她利雅, 是以色列王暗利的孙女.

8:27 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, as the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
亚哈谢效法亚哈家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 与亚哈家一样, 因为他是亚哈家的女婿.

8:28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab for the battle against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.
他与亚哈的儿子约兰同往基列的拉末去, 与亚兰王哈薛争战. 亚兰人打伤了约兰,

8:29 Joram the king returned to Jezreel to heal from the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted at Ramah when Hazael king of Aram fought him. Ahaziah the son of Joram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was ill.
约兰王回到耶斯列, 医治在拉末与亚兰王哈薛打仗的时候所受的伤. 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了, 就下到耶斯列看望他.

II Kings - Chapter 9

9:1 Now Elisha the prophet called for one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him, “Gird your loins, and take this flask of olive oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead.
先知以利沙叫了一个先知门徒来, 吩咐他说: “你束上腰, 手拿这瓶膏油往基列的拉末去.

9:2 Go there and look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi. Go, for you must cause him to arise from among his brothers, and you must bring him into an inner room.
到了那里, 要寻找宁示的孙子,约沙法的儿子耶户, 使他从同僚中起来, 带他进严密的屋子,

9:3 You must take the flask of olive oil and pour it out on his head. You must say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I hereby anoint you as king over Israel.” ’ Then you must open the door and flee; do not linger!”
将瓶里的膏油倒在他头上, 说: ‘耶和华如此说: 我膏你作以色列王. ’说完了, 就开门逃跑, 不要迟延. ”

9:4 So the young man, servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
于是那少年先知往基列的拉末去了.

9:5 He came, and look, the commanders of the army were sitting there. He said, “I have a word for you, O commander!” Jehu said, “For whom? For all of us?” And he said, “For you, O commander!”
到了那里, 看见众军长都坐着, 就说: “将军哪, 我有话对你说. ”耶户说: “我们众人里, 你要对哪一个说呢? ”回答说: “将军哪, 我要对你说. ”

9:6 He got up and went to the house, and poured the olive oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘I hereby anoint you as king over the people of Yahweh, over Israel.
耶户就起来, 进了屋子, 少年人将膏油倒在他头上, 对他说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘我膏你作耶和华民以色列的王.

9:7 You will destroy the house of Ahab your master, and you will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets and the blood of all of the servants of Yahweh, from the hand of Jezebel.
你要击杀你主人亚哈的全家, 我好在耶洗别身上伸我仆人众先知和耶和华一切仆人流血的冤.

9:8 All of the house of Ahab will perish, and I shall cut off all males from Ahab, both bond and free.
亚哈全家必都灭亡, 凡属亚哈的男丁, 无论是困住的,自由的, 我必从以色列中剪除,

9:9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
使亚哈的家像尼八儿子耶罗波安的家, 又像亚希雅儿子巴沙的家.

9:10 The dogs will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and there shall not be anyone to bury her.’ ” Then he opened the door and fled.
耶洗别必在耶斯列田里被狗所吃, 无人葬埋. ’”说完了, 少年人就开门逃跑了.

9:11 Then Jehu came out to the officers of his master, and they said to him, “Peace? Why did this madman come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man and his foolish talk.”
耶户出来, 回到他主人的臣仆那里, 有一人问他说: “平安吗? 这狂妄的人来见你有甚么事呢? ”回答说: “你们认得那人, 也知道他说甚么. ”

9:12 Then they said, “Liar. Please tell us.” He said, “Thus and so he said to me, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I hereby anoint you as king over Israel.” ’ ”
他们说: “这是假话, 你据实地告诉我们. ”回答说: “他如此如此对我说. 他说: ‘耶和华如此说: 我膏你作以色列王. ’”

9:13 So they hastened each one to take his cloak, and they spread them under him on the bare steps, blew on the trumpet, and said, “Jehu is king!”
他们就急忙各将自己的衣服铺在上层台阶, 使耶户坐在其上; 他们吹角, 说: “耶户作王了! ”

9:14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. Now Joram was keeping guard in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all of Israel, because of the threat of Hazael king of Aram.
这样, 宁示的孙子,约沙法的儿子耶户背叛约兰. 先是约兰和以色列众人因为亚兰王哈薛的缘故, 把守基列的拉末;

9:15 But Joram the king had returned to heal in Jezreel from the wound which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. Jehu said, “If this is what you want, do not let him go out as a fugitive from the city to go to make it known in Jezreel.”
但约兰王回到耶斯列, 医治与亚兰王哈薛打仗所受的伤. 耶户说: “若合你们的意思, 就不容人逃出城往耶斯列报信去. ”

9:16 Jehu mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to visit Joram.
于是耶户坐车往耶斯列去, 因为约兰病卧在那里. 犹大王亚哈谢已经下去看望他.

9:17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu when he came, and he said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them.” And he said, “Is it peace?”
有一个守望的人站在耶斯列的楼上, 看见耶户带着一群人来, 就说: “我看见一群人. ”约兰说: “打发一个骑马的去迎接他们, 问说: 平安不平安? ”

9:18 So the rider of the horse went out to meet him, and he said, “Thus the king asks, ‘Is it peace?’ ” Then Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Turn after me.” Then the watchman reported, saying, “The messenger went up to them, but he did not return.”
骑马的就去迎接耶户, 说: “王问说, 平安不平安? ”耶户说: “平安不平安与你何干? 你转在我后头吧! ”守望的人又说: “使者到了他们那里, 却不回来. ”

9:19 Then he sent out a second horseman, and he came to them and said, “Thus the king asks, ‘Is it peace?’ ” Then Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Turn after me.”
王又打发一个骑马的去. 这人到了他们那里, 说: “王问说, 平安不平安? ”耶户说: “平安不平安与你何干? 你转在我后头吧! ”

9:20 So the sentinel reported, saying, “He went up to them, but he did not return, and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives with madness.”
守望的人又说: “他到了他们那里, 也不回来; 车赶得甚猛, 像宁示的孙子耶户的赶法. ”

9:21 Then Joram said, “Get ready,” so he got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel went out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each with his chariot. They went out to meet Jehu, and they found him at the tract of land of Naboth the Jezreelite.
约兰吩咐说: “套车! ”人就给他套车. 以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢各坐自己的车出去迎接耶户, 在耶斯列人拿伯的田那里遇见他.

9:22 When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Is it peace?” And he said, “What peace is there while the prostitutions of your mother Jezebel and her sorceries are numerous?”
约兰见耶户就说: “耶户啊, 平安吗? ”耶户说: “你母亲耶洗别的淫行邪术这样多, 焉能平安呢? ”

9:23 Joram turned his chariot and fled and said to Ahaziah, “It’s treason, Ahaziah!”
约兰就转车逃跑, 对亚哈谢说: “亚哈谢啊, 反了! ”

9:24 Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between his shoulders so that the arrow went out from his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.
耶户开满了弓, 射中约兰的脊背, 箭从心窝穿出, 约兰就仆倒在车上.

9:25 He said to Bidkar his third servant, “Lift him out and throw him on the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for remember, you and I were with the pair of chariots behind Ahab his father when Yahweh pronounced this oracle against him:
耶户对他的军长毕甲说: “你把他抛在耶斯列人拿伯的田间. 你当追想, 你我一同坐车跟随他父亚哈的时候, 耶和华对亚哈所说的预言,

9:26 ‘ “Since I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his children yesterday,” declares Yahweh, “I will requite it for you in this tract of land,” declares Yahweh.’ So then lift him out and throw him on the tract of land according to the word of Yahweh.”
说: ‘我昨日看见拿伯的血和他众子的血, 我必在这块田上报应你. ’这是耶和华说的, 现在你要照着耶和华的话, 把他抛在这田间. ”

9:27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw, he fled the way of Beth-Haggen. Jehu pursued after him and said, “Shoot him also, in the chariot.” They shot him at the ascent of Gur which is in Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo, but he died there.
犹大王亚哈谢见这光景, 就从园亭之路逃跑. 耶户追赶他, 说: “把这人也杀在车上. ”到了靠近以伯莲的姑珥坡上击伤了他. 他逃到米吉多, 就死在那里.

9:28 Then his officers carried him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his ancestors in the city of David.
他的臣仆用车将他的尸首送到耶路撒冷, 葬在大卫城他自己的坟墓里, 与他列祖同葬.

9:29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.
亚哈谢登基作犹大王的时候, 是在亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年.

9:30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, so she painted her eyes with black eye paint and adorned her head and looked through the window.
耶户到了耶斯列; 耶洗别听见就擦粉,梳头, 从窗户里往外观看.

9:31 Now Jehu had come in the gate, so she said, “Is it peace, O Zimri, murderer of his master?”
耶户进门的时候, 耶洗别说: “杀主人的心利啊, 平安吗? ”

9:32 When he lifted up his face to the window, he asked, “Who is with me?” Two or three eunuchs looked down to him.
耶户抬头向窗户观看, 说: “谁顺从我? ”有两三个太监从窗户往外看他.

9:33 So he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her.
耶户说: “把她扔下来! ”他们就把她扔下来. 她的血溅在墙上和马上; 于是把她践踏了.

9:34 Then he came and ate and drank, and said, “Please take care of this cursed one and bury her, for she is the daughter of a king.”
耶户进去, 吃了喝了, 吩咐说: “你们把这被咒诅的妇人葬埋了, 因为她是王的女儿. ”

9:35 When they went to bury her, they could not find her, except the skull, the feet, and the palms of the hands.
他们就去葬埋她, 只寻得她的头骨和脚, 并手掌.

9:36 They returned and told him, and he said, “This is the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘On the plot of ground of Jezreel, the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel.’ ”
他们回去告诉耶户, 耶户说: “这正应验耶和华藉他仆人提斯比人以利亚所说的话, 说: ‘在耶斯列田间, 狗必吃耶洗别的肉;

9:37 So the dead body of Jezebel became dung on the surface spread on the field in the plot of ground of Jezreel, so one cannot say, “This is Jezebel.”
耶洗别的尸首必在耶斯列田间如同粪土, 甚至人不能说这是耶洗别. ’”

II Kings - Chapter 10

10:1 Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria, and Jehu wrote letters, and he sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders and to the guardians of Ahab, saying,
亚哈有七十个儿子在撒马利亚. 耶户写信送到撒马利亚, 通知耶斯列的首领, 就是长老和教养亚哈众子的人, 说:

10:2 “Now, when this letter comes to you and your master’s sons are with you, the chariots are with you, the horses, a fortified city, and weapons,
“你们那里既有你们主人的众子和车马,器械,坚固城,

10:3 then you must select the best and the most suitable from the sons of your master, and you must place him on the throne of his father, and they must fight for the house of your masters.”
接了这信, 就可以在你们主人的众子中选择一个贤能合宜的, 使他坐他父亲的位, 你们也可以为你们主人的家争战. ”

10:4 But they were very afraid, and they said, “Look, two kings could not stand before him; how can we stand?”
他们却甚惧怕, 彼此说: “二王在他面前尚且站立不住, 我们怎能站得住呢? ”

10:5 So whoever was over the house, and whoever was over the city, and the elders and the guardians sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants; all that you say to us, we shall do. We shall not make anyone a king. Do what is good in your eyes.”
家宰,邑宰, 和长老, 并教养众子的人, 打发人去见耶户, 说: “我们是你的仆人, 凡你所吩咐我们的都必遵行, 我们不立谁作王, 你看怎样好就怎样行. ”

10:6 Then he wrote to them a second letter, saying, “If you are for me, and you are listening to my voice, take the heads of the men of the sons of your master and come to me at this time tomorrow at Jezreel.” Now the sons of the king, seventy men, were with the leaders of the city who were raising them.
耶户又给他们写信说: “你们若归顺我, 听从我的话, 明日这时候, 要将你们主人众子的首级带到耶斯列来见我. ”那时王的儿子七十人都住在教养他们那城中的尊贵人家里.

10:7 When the letter came to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed seventy men. Then they put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.
信一到, 他们就把王的七十个儿子杀了, 将首级装在筐里, 送到在耶斯列的耶户那里.

10:8 Then the messenger came and told him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons,” and he said, “Put them in two piles at the entrance of the gate until morning.”
有使者来告诉耶户说: “他们将王众子的首级送来了. ”耶户说: “将首级在城门口堆作两堆, 搁到明日. ”

10:9 It happened in the morning that he went out, stood, and said to all of the people, “You are righteous. Look, I conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all of these?
次日早晨, 耶户出来, 站着对众民说: “你们都是公义的, 我背叛我主人, 将他杀了; 这些人却是谁杀的呢?

10:10 Know then that the word of Yahweh will not fail which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab; Yahweh has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.
由此可知, 耶和华指著亚哈家所说的话一句没有落空, 因为耶和华藉他仆人以利亚所说的话都成就了. ”

10:11 Then Jehu killed all of the remainder of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, all of his leaders, his close friends, and his priests, until there was no survivor left for him.
凡亚哈家在耶斯列所剩下的人和他的大臣,密友,祭司, 耶户尽都杀了, 没有留下一个.

10:12 Then he arose and went and came to Samaria. On the way, he was at Beth-Eked of the shepherds,
耶户起身往撒马利亚去. 在路上,牧人剪羊毛之处,

10:13 and Jehu met the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. He asked, “Who are you?” They said, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah; we came down for the peace of the king’s children and the children of the queen.”
遇见犹大王亚哈谢的弟兄, 问他们说: “你们是谁? ”回答说: “我们是亚哈谢的弟兄, 现在下去要问王和太后的众子安. ”

10:14 Then he said, “Seize them alive!” So they seized them alive but then slaughtered them at the cistern of Beth-Eked, forty-two men. He did not allow any of them to survive.
耶户吩咐说: “活捉他们! ”跟从的人就活捉了他们, 将他们杀在剪羊毛之处的坑边, 共四十二人, 没有留下一个.

10:15 Next he went from there and found Jehonadab the son of Recab to meet him. He greeted him and asked him, “Is your heart right with me as my heart is with you?” Then Jehonadab said, “Yes, it is. Give your hand!” And he gave his hand and took him up to him on the chariot.
耶户从那里前行, 恰遇利甲的儿子约拿达来迎接他, 耶户问他安, 对他说: “你诚心待我像我诚心待你吗? ”约拿达回答说: “是. ”耶户说: “若是这样, 你向我伸手”, 他就伸手; 耶户拉他上车.

10:16 Then he said, “Come with me! Look at my zeal for Yahweh!” So he let him ride in his chariot.
耶户说: “你和我同去, 看我为耶和华怎样热心”; 于是请他坐在车上,

10:17 Then he came to Samaria and killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria until he wiped them out according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken to Elijah.
到了撒马利亚, 就把撒马利亚的亚哈家剩下的人都杀了, 直到灭尽, 正如耶和华对以利亚所说的.

10:18 Then Jehu assembled all of the people and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will worship him greatly.
耶户招聚众民, 对他们说: “亚哈事奉巴力还冷淡, 耶户却更热心.

10:19 So then, summon to me all of the prophets of Baal and all of his servants and his priests; no man should fail to come, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who fails to come shall not live!” Now Jehu was acting with cunning in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
现在我要给巴力献大祭. 应当叫巴力的众先知和一切拜巴力的人, 并巴力的众祭司, 都到我这里来, 不可缺少一个; 凡不来的必不得活. ”耶户这样行, 是用诡计要杀尽拜巴力的人.

10:20 Then Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
耶户说: “要为巴力宣告严肃会! ”于是宣告了.

10:21 Jehu sent word through all of Israel, and all of the servants of Baal came; there did not remain a man who did not come. They came to the house of Baal so that the house of Baal was filled from wall to wall.
耶户差人走遍以色列地; 凡拜巴力的人都来齐了, 没有一个不来的. 他们进了巴力庙, 巴力庙中从前边直到后边都满了人.

10:22 He said to the one who was over the wardrobe, “Bring out clothing for all of the servants of Baal.” So he brought the clothing out for them.
耶户吩咐掌管礼服的人说: “拿出礼服来, 给一切拜巴力的人穿. ”他就拿出礼服来给了他们.

10:23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Recab came to the temple of Baal, and he said to the servants of Baal, “Search and see that there is none of the servants of Yahweh here with you; only those who serve Baal.”
耶户和利甲的儿子约拿达进了巴力庙, 对拜巴力的人说: “你们察看察看, 在你们这里不可有耶和华的仆人, 只可容留拜巴力的人. ”

10:24 They came to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he said, “The man who lets anyone escape from the men who I am entrusting to you, he will pay with his life!”
耶户和约拿达进去, 献平安祭和燔祭. 耶户先安派八十人在庙外, 吩咐说: “我将这些人交在你们手中, 若有一人脱逃, 谁放的必叫他偿命! ”

10:25 It happened that when he finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the royal guard and to the officers, “Come and kill them; let no man go free!” So they put them to the sword, and the royal guard and the officers threw them out, then they went up to the citadel of the temple of Baal.
耶户献完了燔祭, 就出来吩咐护卫兵和众军长说: “你们进去杀他们, 不容一人出来! ”护卫兵和军长就用刀杀他们, 将尸首抛出去, 便到巴力庙的城去了,

10:26 They brought out the stone pillars of the temple of Baal and burned them.
将巴力庙中的柱像都拿出来烧了;

10:27 So they broke down the stone pillars of Baal and destroyed the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine until this day.
毁坏了巴力柱像, 拆毁了巴力庙作为厕所, 直到今日.

10:28 So Jehu wiped out Baal from Israel.
这样, 耶户在以色列中灭了巴力.

10:29 Only Jehu did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat by which he caused Israel to sin; namely, the calf-shaped idols of gold which were in Bethel and Dan.
只是耶户不离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪, 就是拜伯特利和但的金牛犊.

10:30 Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well by doing right in my eyes and you have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart; therefore, sons of the fourth generation will sit for you on the throne of Israel.”
耶和华对耶户说: “因你办好我眼中看为正的事, 照我的心意待亚哈家, 你的子孙必接续你坐以色列的国位, 直到四代. ”

10:31 But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel with all his heart; he did not turn from the sins of Jeroboam by which he caused Israel to sin.
只是耶户不尽心遵守耶和华─以色列神的律法, 不离开耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪.

10:32 In those days, Yahweh began to reduce Israel, so Hazael defeated them in every territory of Israel,
在那些日子, 耶和华才割裂以色列国, 使哈薛攻击以色列的境界,

10:33 from the Jordan eastward: all of the land of Gilead, the Gadites, the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer which is on the Wadi Arnon and Gilead and Bashan.
乃是约旦河东,基列全地, 从靠近亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥起, 就是基列和巴珊的迦得人,流便人,玛拿西人之地.

10:34 Now the remainder of the acts of Jehu and all that he did and all of his powerful deeds, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
耶户其余的事, 凡他所行的和他的勇力都写在以色列诸王记上.

10:35 So Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria, and Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.
耶户与他列祖同睡, 葬在撒马利亚; 他儿子约哈斯接续他作王.

10:36 Now the days which Jehu had reigned over Israel were twenty-eight years in Samaria.
耶户在撒马利亚作以色列王二十八年.

II Kings - Chapter 11

11:1 Now Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, so she prepared to destroy all of the offspring of the royal family.
亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了, 就起来剿灭王室.

11:2 But Jehosheba the daughter of King Joram and sister of Ahaziah took Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, and she stole him from among the sons of the king who were being put to death, putting him and his nurse in the inner bedroom. So they hid him from the presence of Athaliah, and he was not killed.
但约兰王的女儿, 亚哈谢的妹子约示巴, 将亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那被杀的王子中偷出来, 把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里, 躲避亚她利雅, 免得被杀.

11:3 He remained with her in the temple of Yahweh, hidden for six years while Athaliah was reigning over the land.
约阿施和他的乳母藏在耶和华的殿里六年; 亚她利雅篡了国位.

11:4 But in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the commanders of the hundreds of the Carites and the runners, and he brought them to himself to the temple of Yahweh. Then he made a covenant with them and made them swear in the house of Yahweh and showed them the son of the king.
第七年, 耶何耶大打发人叫迦利人(或译: 亲兵)和护卫兵的众百夫长来, 领他们进了耶和华的殿, 与他们立约, 使他们在耶和华殿里起誓, 又将王的儿子指给他们看,

11:5 He commanded them, saying, “This is the thing which you must do: one third of you who go off duty on the Sabbath, the keepers of the guard in the house of the king,
吩咐他们说: “你们当这样行: 凡安息日进班的三分之一要看守王宫,

11:6 and another third at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the runners, shall guard the post of the palace alternately.
三分之一要在苏珥门, 三分之一要在护卫兵院的后门. 这样把守王宫, 拦阻闲人.

11:7 Two of the units among you, all who go on duty on the Sabbath, guard the post of the temple of Yahweh for the king.
你们安息日所有出班的三分之二要在耶和华的殿里护卫王;

11:8 You must surround the king all about, each with his weapon in his hand; whoever comes to the ranks must be killed. Be with the king wherever he goes.”
各人手拿兵器, 四围护卫王. 凡擅入你们班次的必当治死, 王出入的时候, 你们当跟随他. ”

11:9 So the commanders of hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and each took his men who went off duty on the Sabbath and those who came on duty on the Sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
众百夫长就照着祭司耶何耶大一切所吩咐的去行, 各带所管安息日进班出班的人来见祭司耶何耶大.

11:10 Then the priest gave to the commanders of the hundreds spears and small round shields which were King David’s, which were in the temple of Yahweh.
祭司便将耶和华殿里所藏大卫王的枪和盾牌交给百夫长.

11:11 So the royal runners stood, each with his weapons in his hand, from the side of the temple to the south up to the side of the temple on the north, around the altar and around the temple, about the king all around.
护卫兵手中各拿兵器, 在坛和殿那里, 从殿右直到殿左, 站在王子的四围.

11:12 Then he brought out the son of the king, put the crown on him with the testimony, and they made him king, anointed him, clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
祭司领王子出来, 给他戴上冠冕, 将律法书交给他, 膏他作王; 众人就拍掌说: “愿王万岁! ”

11:13 When Athaliah heard the sound of the runners of the people, she came to the people at the temple of Yahweh.
亚她利雅听见护卫兵和民的声音, 就到民那里, 进耶和华的殿,

11:14 She looked, and there was the king standing by the pillar according to the custom. The commanders and the trumpeters were by the king, and all of the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing on the trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes and she called, “Treason, treason!”
看见王照例站在柱旁, 百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右, 国中的众民欢乐吹号; 亚她利雅就撕裂衣服, 喊叫说: “反了! 反了! ”

11:15 Then Jehoiada the priest commanded the commanders of the hundreds, the appointed of the army, and he said to them, “Bring her out to the house of the ranks! The one coming after her should kill her with the sword,” for the priest had said, “Let her not be killed in the temple of Yahweh.”
祭司耶何耶大吩咐管辖军兵的百夫长说: “将她赶出班外, 凡跟随她的必用刀杀死! ”因为祭司说“不可在耶和华殿里杀她”,

11:16 So they grabbed her as she went by the entranceway of the horses to the palace of the king, and she was killed there.
众兵就闪开让她去; 她从马路上王宫去, 便在那里被杀.

11:17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that the people should be as a people for Yahweh, and also a covenant between the king and the people.
耶何耶大使王和民与耶和华立约, 作耶和华的民; 又使王与民立约.

11:18 Then all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down, and its altars and its images they broke completely into pieces. Mattan the priest of Baal they killed in front of the altars. Then the priest put guards over the house of Yahweh.
于是国民都到巴力庙, 拆毁了庙, 打碎坛和像, 又在坛前将巴力的祭司玛坦杀了. 祭司耶何耶大派官看守耶和华的殿,

11:19 He took the commanders of the hundreds and the Carites and the runners and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the temple of Yahweh. And they marched by the way of the runner’s gate to the palace of the king, and he sat on the throne of the kings.
又率领百夫长和迦利人(或译: 亲兵)与护卫兵, 以及国中的众民, 请王从耶和华殿下来, 由护卫兵的门进入王宫, 他就坐了王位.

11:20 All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city rested; for Athaliah had been killed with the sword in the palace of the king.
国民都欢乐, 合城都安静. 众人已将亚她利雅在王宫那里用刀杀了.

11:21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
约阿施登基的时候年方七岁.

II Kings - Chapter 12

12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king. He reigned in Jerusalem forty years, and the name of his mother was Zibiah from Beersheba.
耶户第七年, 约阿施登基, 在耶路撒冷作王四十年. 他母亲名叫西比亚, 是别是巴人.

12:2 Jehoash did right in the eyes of Yahweh all of his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
约阿施在祭司耶何耶大教训他的时候, 就行耶和华眼中看为正的事;

12:3 Only the high places were not removed; the people were still making sacrifices and offering incense on the high places.
只是邱坛还没有废去, 百姓仍在那里献祭烧香.

12:4 Jehoash said to the priests, “All of the money for the sacred things that is brought to the temple of Yahweh, the money taxed at its proper value for each person and all of the money which comes upon the heart of a man to bring to the temple of Yahweh,
约阿施对众祭司说: “凡奉到耶和华殿分别为圣之物所值通用的银子, 或各人当纳的身价, 或乐意奉到耶和华殿的银子,

12:5 let the priests take for themselves, each from his treasurers, and let them repair the breach of the temple for every place where damage is found.”
你们当从所认识的人收了来, 修理殿的一切破坏之处. ”

12:6 It happened in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash that the priests had not repaired the damage in the temple.
无奈到了约阿施王二十三年, 祭司仍未修理殿的破坏之处.

12:7 So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest and the priests, and he said to them, “Why are you not repairing the damage in the temple? Now, you shall not take money from your treasurers for the damage in the temple. You must provide it.”
所以约阿施王召了大祭司耶何耶大和众祭司来, 对他们说: “你们怎么不修理殿的破坏之处呢? 从今以后, 你们不要从所认识的人再收银子, 要将所收的交出来, 修理殿的破坏之处. ”

12:8 So the priests agreed not to take money from the people and not to repair the damage to the temple.
众祭司答应不再收百姓的银子, 也不修理殿的破坏之处.

12:9 Then Jehoiada the priest took a certain chest and bored a hole in its lid, and he put it beside the altar to the right as a man enters into the temple of Yahweh; then the priests who were keepers of the threshold would put there all of the money brought into the temple.
祭司耶何耶大取了一个柜子, 在柜盖上钻了一个窟窿, 放于坛旁, 在进耶和华殿的右边; 守门的祭司将奉到耶和华殿的一切银子投在柜里.

12:10 It happened that when they saw a great deal of money in the chest, the secretary of the king and the high priest would come up, put the money in bags, then count the money found in the temple of Yahweh.
他们见柜里的银子多了, 便叫王的书记和大祭司上来, 将耶和华殿里的银子数算包起来.

12:11 They placed the money, which was weighed out, into the hands of the workers who were appointed over the temple of Yahweh, and they paid it to the skilled craftsmen of wood and to the builders working on the temple of Yahweh
把所平的银子交给督工的, 就是耶和华殿里办事的人; 他们把银子转交修理耶和华殿的木匠和工人,

12:12 and to the masons and the stonecutters, to buy timber and stones for hewing, in order to repair the damage of the temple of Yahweh, and for all who went to the temple to repair it.
并瓦匠,石匠, 又买木料和凿成的石头, 修理耶和华殿的破坏之处, 以及修理殿的各样使用.

12:13 Only, for the temple of Yahweh, there were not any silver basins, snuffers, bowls for drinking wine, trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver from the money being brought to the temple of Yahweh.
但那奉到耶和华殿的银子, 没有用以做耶和华殿里的银杯,蜡剪,碗,号, 和别样的金银器皿,

12:14 For they gave that to all the workers, and they repaired the temple of Yahweh with it.
乃将那银子交给督工的人修理耶和华的殿;

12:15 They did not have to settle accounts with the men into whose hands they placed the money to give to the workers, for they were dealing honestly.
且将银子交给办事的人转交做工的人, 不与他们算账, 因为他们办事诚实.

12:16 The money of the guilt offering and the money of the sin offering was not brought into the temple of Yahweh, but were each for the priests.
惟有赎愆祭,赎罪祭的银子没有奉到耶和华的殿, 都归祭司.

12:17 At that time, Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and captured it; then Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
那时, 亚兰王哈薛上来攻打迦特, 攻取了, 就定意上来攻打耶路撒冷.

12:18 Jehoash king of Judah took all of the holy objects that Jehoshaphat, Joram, and Ahaziah his ancestors, the kings of Judah, had devoted, and all his holy objects and all of the gold found in the treasuries of the temple of Yahweh, and in the palace of the king, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram, so that he went up from Jerusalem.
犹大王约阿施将他列祖犹大王约沙法,约兰,亚哈谢所分别为圣的物和自己所分别为圣的物, 并耶和华殿与王宫府库里所有的金子都送给亚兰王哈薛; 哈薛就不上耶路撒冷来了.

12:19 Now the remainder of the acts of Joash and all that he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约阿施其余的事, 凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上.

12:20 Then his servants arose and conspired and killed Joash in the house of the Millo as he was going down toward Silla.
约阿施的臣仆起来背叛, 在下悉拉的米罗宫那里将他杀了.

12:21 Jozabad the son of Shimeath and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him and killed him, so they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David. Then Amaziah his son became king in his place.
杀他的那臣仆就是示米押的儿子约撒甲和朔默的儿子约萨拔. 众人将他葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里. 他儿子亚玛谢接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 13

13:1 In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria, reigning seventeen years.
犹大王亚哈谢的儿子约阿施二十三年, 耶户的儿子约哈斯在撒马利亚登基作以色列王十七年.

13:2 But he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and he went after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat with which he had caused Israel to sin, and he did not depart from it.
约哈斯行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪, 总不离开.

13:3 So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he gave them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael repeatedly.
于是, 耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作, 将他们屡次交在亚兰王哈薛和他儿子便．哈达的手里.

13:4 Then Jehoahaz entreated Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him, for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Aram oppressed them.
约哈斯恳求耶和华, 耶和华就应允他, 因为见以色列人所受亚兰王的欺压.

13:5 Yahweh gave Israel a savior, and they went out from under the hand of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their tents as formerly.
耶和华赐给以色列人一位拯救者, 使他们脱离亚兰人的手; 于是以色列人仍旧安居在家里.

13:6 Yet they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam which he caused Israel to sin, but walked in it; and also, the pole of the Asherah worship was still standing in Samaria.
然而他们不离开耶罗波安家使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪, 仍然去行, 并且在撒马利亚留下亚舍拉.

13:7 For there was no army left over for Jehoahaz except for fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry, for the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them as the dust at threshing.
亚兰王灭绝约哈斯的民, 践踏他们如禾场上的尘沙, 只给约哈斯留下五十马兵, 十辆战车, 一万步兵.

13:8 Now the remainder of the acts of Jehoahaz and all that he did and his powerful deeds, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
约哈斯其余的事, 凡他所行的和他的勇力都写在以色列诸王记上.

13:9 Then Jehoahaz slept with his ancestors and they buried him in Samaria, and Jehoash his son became king in his place.
约哈斯与他列祖同睡, 葬在撒马利亚. 他儿子约阿施接续他作王.

13:10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz became king over Israel in Samaria, reigning sixteen years.
犹大王约阿施三十七年, 约哈斯的儿子约阿施在撒马利亚登基作以色列王十六年.

13:11 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh; he did not depart from all of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat which he caused Israel to sin, but walked in it.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 不离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的一切罪, 仍然去行.

13:12 The remainder of the acts of Joash and all that he did, his powerful deeds, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
约阿施其余的事, 凡他所行的和他与犹大王亚玛谢争战的勇力, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

13:13 Then Joash slept with his ancestors, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
约阿施与他列祖同睡, 耶罗波安坐了他的位. 约阿施与以色列诸王一同葬在撒马利亚.

13:14 Elisha became ill with the illness with which he would die, so Jehoash king of Israel went down to him and wept before him, and said, “My father, my father; the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!”
以利沙得了必死的病, 以色列王约阿施下来看他, 伏在他脸上哭泣, 说: “我父啊! 我父啊! 以色列的战车马兵啊! ”

13:15 Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows,” so he took him a bow and arrows.
以利沙对他说: “你取弓箭来. ”王就取了弓箭来;

13:16 He said to the king of Israel, “Lay your hand on the bow,” so he lay hold of it; then Elisha put his hand on the hands of the king.
又对以色列王说: “你用手拿弓. ”王就用手拿弓. 以利沙按手在王的手上,

13:17 Then he said, “Open the window to the east,” so he opened it. Elisha said, “Shoot,” and he shot. Then he said, “An arrow of victory for Yahweh, and an arrow of victory against Aram; you shall fight the Arameans in Aphek until finishing them.”
说: “你开朝东的窗户. ”他就开了. 以利沙说: “射箭吧! ”他就射箭. 以利沙说: “这是耶和华的得胜箭, 就是战胜亚兰人的箭; 因为你必在亚弗攻打亚兰人, 直到灭尽他们. ”

13:18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” so he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” so he struck three times and stopped.
以利沙又说: “取几枝箭来. ”他就取了来. 以利沙说: “打地吧! 他打了三次, 便止住了.

13:19 Yet the man of God became angry against him and said, “For striking five or six times, then you would have defeated Aram until finishing them, but now you will defeat Aram only three times.”
神人向他发怒, 说: “应当击打五六次, 就能攻打亚兰人直到灭尽; 现在只能打败亚兰人三次. ”

13:20 Elisha died and they buried him. Now the raiding parties of Moab came in the spring.
以利沙死了, 人将他葬埋. 到了新年, 有一群摩押人犯境,

13:21 And it happened that they were burying a man; suddenly they saw the marauding band, so they threw the man in the grave of Elisha. As he went in, the man touched the bones of Elisha, and became alive and got up on his feet!
有人正葬死人, 忽然看见一群人, 就把死人抛在以利沙的坟墓里, 一碰著以利沙的骸骨, 死人就复活, 站起来了.

13:22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
约哈斯年间, 亚兰王哈薛屡次欺压以色列人.

13:23 But Yahweh had mercy on them and showed compassion to them and turned to them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was not willing to destroy them nor cast them from his presence up to now.
耶和华却因与亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各所立的约, 仍施恩给以色列人, 怜恤他们, 眷顾他们, 不肯灭尽他们, 尚未赶逐他们离开自己面前.

13:24 When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-Hadad became king in his place.
亚兰王哈薛死了, 他儿子便‧哈达接续他作王.

13:25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz returned and took the cities from the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz his father in the war. Three times Jehoash defeated him and recovered the towns of Israel.
从前哈薛和约阿施的父亲约哈斯争战, 攻取了些城邑, 现在约哈斯的儿子约阿施三次打败哈薛的儿子便‧哈达, 就收回了以色列的城邑.

II Kings - Chapter 14

14:1 In the second year of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Jehoash king of Judah began to reign.
以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施第二年, 犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢登基.

14:2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
他登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二十九年. 他母亲名叫约耶但, 是耶路撒冷人.

14:3 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh, only not as David his ancestor; as all which Jehoash his father had done, he did.
亚玛谢行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 但不如他祖大卫, 乃效法他父约阿施一切所行的;

14:4 Only the high places were not removed; the people were still sacrificing and offering incense on the high places.
只是邱坛还没有废去, 百姓仍在那里献祭烧香.

14:5 It happened that when the kingdom was firmly in his hand, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
国一坚定, 就把杀他父王的臣仆杀了,

14:6 But the sons of the killers he did not kill, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses which Yahweh had commanded, saying, “Fathers should not be killed because of children, and children should not be killed because of fathers; but a man should die because of his own sin.”
却没有治死杀王之人的儿子, 是照摩西律法书上耶和华所吩咐的说: “不可因子杀父, 也不可因父杀子, 各人要为本身的罪而死. ”

14:7 He also killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and he seized Sela in the battle, and he called its name Jokteel, until this day.
亚玛谢在盐谷杀了以东人一万, 又攻取了西拉, 改名叫约帖, 直到今日.

14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come let us meet face-to-face.”
那时, 亚玛谢差遣使者去见耶户的孙子约哈斯的儿子以色列王约阿施, 说: “你来, 我们二人相见于战场. ”

14:9 So Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah, saying, “The thornbush which is in Lebanon sent to the cedar which is in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife,’ but an animal of the field which is in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thornbush.
以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢, 说: “黎巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去见黎巴嫩的香柏树, 说: 将你的女儿给我儿子为妻. 后来黎巴嫩有一个野兽经过, 把蒺藜践踏了.

14:10 You have indeed defeated Edom and your heart is lifted up; enjoy the honor and stay home. Why should you provoke trouble so that you fall and Judah with you?”
你打败了以东人就心高气傲, 你以此为荣耀, 在家里安居就罢了, 为何要惹祸, 使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢? ”

14:11 But Amaziah would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel went up and they met face-to-face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-Shemesh which belongs to Judah.
亚玛谢却不肯听这话. 于是以色列王约阿施上来, 在犹大的伯．示麦与犹大王亚玛谢相见于战场.

14:12 Judah was defeated before Israel and they fled, each to this tent.
犹大人败在以色列人面前, 各自逃回家里去了.

14:13 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-Shemesh. Then they came to Jerusalem, and he broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim up to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits!
以色列王约阿施在伯．示麦擒住亚哈谢的孙子,约阿施的儿子犹大王亚玛谢, 就来到耶路撒冷, 拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙, 从以法莲门直到角门共四百肘,

14:14 He also took all of the gold and silver and all the vessels found in the temple of Yahweh and in the treasury rooms of the palace of the king, as well as the hostages; then he returned to Samaria.
又将耶和华殿里与王宫府库里所有的金银和器皿都拿了去, 并带人去为质, 就回撒马利亚去了.

14:15 Now the remainder of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his powerful deeds, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
约阿施其余所行的事和他的勇力, 并与犹大王亚玛谢争战的事, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

14:16 Then Jehoash slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
约阿施与他列祖同睡, 葬在撒马利亚, 以色列诸王的坟地里. 他儿子耶罗波安接续他作王.

14:17 Amaziah the son of Jehoash king of Judah lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后, 犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢又活了十五年.

14:18 The remainder of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
亚玛谢其余的事都写在犹大列王记上.

14:19 They conspired against him in Jerusalem, so he fled to Lachish. But they sent men after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
耶路撒冷有人背叛亚玛谢, 他就逃到拉吉; 叛党却打发人到拉吉将他杀了.

14:20 Then they carried him on the horses, and he was buried with his ancestors in the city of David.
人就用马将他的尸首驮到耶路撒冷, 葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里.

14:21 All of the people of Judah took sixteen-year-old Azariah and made him king in place of this father Amaziah.
犹大众民立亚玛谢的儿子亚撒利雅(又名乌西雅)接续他父作王, 那时他年十六岁.

14:22 He rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after the king slept with his ancestors.
亚玛谢与他列祖同睡之后, 亚撒利雅收回以拉他仍归犹大, 又重新修理.

14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Jehoash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Jehoash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, reigning forty-one years.
犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢十五年, 以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在撒马利亚登基, 作王四十一年.

14:24 But he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat which he caused Israel to sin.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 不离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的一切罪.

14:25 He restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-Hamath up to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah the son of Amittai the prophet, who was from Gath-Hepher.
他收回以色列边界之地, 从哈马口直到亚拉巴海, 正如耶和华─以色列的神藉他仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子先知约拿所说的.

14:26 For Yahweh saw that the misery of Israel was very bitter, whether bond or free, but there was no helper for Israel.
因为耶和华看见以色列人甚是艰苦, 无论困住的,自由的都没有了, 也无人帮助以色列人.

14:27 Yahweh did not decree to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Jehoash.
耶和华并没有说要将以色列的名从天下涂抹, 乃藉约阿施的儿子耶罗波安拯救他们.

14:28 Now the remainder of the acts of Jeroboam, all that he did, his powerful deeds, how he fought, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath of Judah to Israel, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
耶罗波安其余的事, 凡他所行的和他的勇力, 他怎样争战, 怎样收回大马士革和先前属犹大的哈马归以色列, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

14:29 So Jeroboam slept with his ancestors the kings of Israel, and his son Zechariah became king in his place.
耶罗波安与他列祖以色列诸王同睡. 他儿子撒迦利雅接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 15

15:1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.
以色列王耶罗波安二十七年, 犹大王亚玛谢的儿子亚撒利雅登基,

他登基的时候年十六岁, 在耶路撒冷作王五十二年. 他母亲名叫耶可利雅, 是耶路撒冷人.

15:3 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Amaziah his father had done.

只是邱坛还没有废去, 百姓仍在那里献祭烧香.

15:12 This is the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Sons of a fourth generation shall sit for you on the throne of Israel,” and it was so.

迦底的儿子米拿现从得撒上撒马利亚, 杀了雅比的儿子沙龙, 篡了他的位.

沙龙其余的事和他背叛的情形都写在以色列诸王记上.

15:16 At that time Menahem destroyed Tiphsah, all who were in it, and all its territory from Tirzah, because it had not opened to him, so he destroyed it and ripped open all of its pregnant women.

16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
利玛利的儿子比加十七年, 犹大王约坦的儿子亚哈斯登基.

16:2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do right in the eyes of Yahweh his God as David his ancestor.
他登基的时候年二十岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十六年; 不像他祖大卫行耶和华─他神眼中看为正的事,

16:3 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel; he even let his son pass through the fire according to the detestable things of the nations which Yahweh drove out from before the Israelites.
却效法以色列诸王所行的, 又照着耶和华从以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事, 使他的儿子经火,

16:4 He sacrificed and offered incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
并在邱坛上,山冈上,各青翠树下献祭烧香.

16:5 Then Rezin the king of Aram went up with Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel against Jerusalem for battle, and they besieged Ahaz but were not able to defeat him.
亚兰王利汛和以色列王利玛利的儿子比加上来攻打耶路撒冷, 围困亚哈斯, 却不能胜他.

16:6 At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram and drove out the Judeans from Elath. The Arameans came to Elath and have lived there until this day.
当时亚兰王利汛收回以拉他归与亚兰, 将犹大人从以拉他赶出去. 亚兰人(有译以东人的)就来到以拉他, 住在那里, 直到今日.

16:7 Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel who are rising up against me.”
亚哈斯差遣使者去见亚述王提革拉．毘列色, 说: “我是你的仆人,你的儿子. 现在亚兰王和以色列王攻击我, 求你来救我脱离他们的手. ”

16:8 Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the house of Yahweh and in the treasury rooms of the palace of the king, and he sent a gift to the king of Assyria.
亚哈斯将耶和华殿里和王宫府库里所有的金银都送给亚述王为礼物.

16:9 So the king of Assyria listened to him and he went up to Damascus and captured it and deported them to Kir. He also killed Rezin.
亚述王应允了他, 就上去攻打大马士革, 将城攻取, 杀了利汛, 把居民掳到吉珥.

16:10 So King Ahaz went to meet Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria in Damascus, and he saw the altar which was in Damascus, so King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest the builder’s plan of the altar and the exact model of how it had been made.
亚哈斯王上大马士革去迎接亚述王提革拉．毘列色, 在大马士革看见一座坛, 就照坛的规模样式作法画了图样, 送到祭司乌利亚那里.

16:11 So Uriah the priest built the altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus; thus Uriah the priest did before King Ahaz came from Damascus.
祭司乌利亚照着亚哈斯王从大马士革送来的图样, 在亚哈斯王没有从大马士革回来之先, 建筑一座坛.

16:12 When the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar, so he went near to the altar and went up on it.
王从大马士革回来看见坛, 就近前来, 在坛上献祭;

16:13 Then he offered his burnt offerings and his grain offerings, he poured his libations and dashed the blood of his fellowship offerings against the altar.
烧燔祭,素祭,浇奠祭, 将平安祭牲的血洒在坛上,

16:14 Now the bronze altar which was before Yahweh, he brought over from the front of the temple, from between his altar and the temple of Yahweh, and he placed it at the side of his altar to the north.
又将耶和华面前的铜坛从耶和华殿和新坛的中间搬到新坛的北边.

16:15 Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering and the grain offering of the evening, the burnt offering of the king and his grain offering, the burnt offering of all of the people of the land, their offerings, their libations, and all of the blood of the burnt offerings, the blood of the sacrifices you must dash on it. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.”
亚哈斯王吩咐祭司乌利亚说: “早晨的燔祭,晚上的素祭, 王的燔祭,素祭, 国内众民的燔祭,素祭,奠祭都要烧在大坛上. 燔祭牲和平安祭牲的血也要洒在这坛上, 只是铜坛我要用以求问耶和华. ”

16:16 So Uriah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
祭司乌利亚就照着亚哈斯王所吩咐的行了.

16:17 Then King Ahaz cut off the side panels of the water carts and removed from upon them the basin, and the sea he took down from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
亚哈斯王打掉盆座四面镶著的心子, 把盆从座上挪下来, 又将铜海从驮海的铜牛上搬下来, 放在铺石地;

16:18 The covering for the Sabbath which they had built in the palace and in the entrance of the king to the outside, he removed from the temple of Yahweh because of the presence of the king of Assyria.
又因亚述王的缘故, 将耶和华殿为安息日所盖的廊子和王从外入殿的廊子挪移, 围绕耶和华的殿.

16:19 Now the remainder of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
亚哈斯其余所行的事都写在犹大列王记上.

16:20 So Ahaz slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
亚哈斯与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里. 他儿子希西家接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 17

17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz the king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, reigning nine years.
犹大王亚哈斯十二年, 以拉的儿子何细亚在撒马利亚登基作以色列王九年.

17:2 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, only not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 只是不像在他以前的以色列诸王.

17:3 Shalmaneser the king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid tribute to him.
亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击何细亚, 何细亚就服事他, 给他进贡.

17:4 But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and he did not offer tribute to the king of Assyria as he had year after year; so the king of Assyria arrested him, and confined him in a house of imprisonment.
何细亚背叛, 差人去见埃及王梭, 不照往年所行的与亚述王进贡. 亚述王知道了, 就把他锁禁, 囚在监里.

17:5 So the king of Assyria went up in all the land, then he went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.
亚述王上来攻击以色列遍地, 上到撒马利亚, 围困三年.

17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported Israel to Assyria. He placed them in Halah, in Habor, in the river regions of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
何细亚第九年亚述王攻取了撒马利亚, 将以色列人掳到亚述, 把他们安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河边, 并米底亚人的城邑.

17:7 Now this happened because the Israelites had sinned against Yahweh their God when he brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt and they feared other gods.
这是因以色列人得罪那领他们出埃及地,脱离埃及王法老手的耶和华─他们的神, 去敬畏别神,

17:8 They walked in the statutes of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out from before the Israelites, which the kings of Israel had introduced.
随从耶和华在他们面前所赶出外邦人的风俗和以色列诸王所立的条规.

17:9 The Israelites secretly did things which were not right, against Yahweh their God; they built high places for themselves in all their towns, from the watchtower up to the fortified city.
以色列人暗中行不正的事, 违背耶和华─他们的神, 在他们所有的城邑, 从瞭望楼直到坚固城, 建筑邱坛;

17:10 They set up for themselves stone pillars and poles of Asherah worship on every high hill and under every green tree.
在各高冈上,各青翠树下立柱像和木偶;

17:11 They burned incense there on all the high places, like the nations which Yahweh deported before them, and they did evil things to provoke Yahweh.
在邱坛上烧香, 效法耶和华在他们面前赶出的外邦人所行的, 又行恶事惹动耶和华的怒气;

17:12 They served idols which Yahweh had said to them, “You shall not do this thing!”
且事奉偶像, 就是耶和华警戒他们不可行的.

17:13 Yahweh warned Israel and Judah by the hand of his every prophet, with every seer saying, “Turn from all of your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, according to all the law which I commanded your ancestors, which I sent to you by the hand of my servants the prophets.”
但耶和华藉众先知,先见劝戒以色列人和犹大人说: “当离开你们的恶行, 谨守我的诫命律例, 遵行我吩咐你们列祖, 并藉我仆人众先知所传给你们的律法. ”

17:14 But they did not listen and they stiffened their necks, like the necks of their ancestors who did not believe in Yahweh their God.
他们却不听从, 竟硬著颈项, 效法他们列祖, 不信服耶和华─他们的神,

17:15 They rejected his statutes, his covenant which he made with their ancestors, and his warnings which he gave to them; and they went after the idols, became vain, and went after all the nations which were all around them, which Yahweh had commanded them not to do as they did.
厌弃他的律例和他与他们列祖所立的约, 并劝戒他们的话, 随从虚无的神, 自己成为虚妄, 效法周围的外邦人, 就是耶和华嘱咐他们不可效法的;

17:16 They abandoned all the commands of Yahweh their God and made for themselves two molten calf-shaped idols; they made a pole of Asherah worship and bowed down to the army of the heavens and served Baal.
离弃耶和华─他们神的一切诫命, 为自己铸了两个牛犊的像, 立了亚舍拉, 敬拜天上的万象, 事奉巴力,

17:17 They made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, they practiced divination and read omens, and they sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of Yahweh to provoke him.
又使他们的儿女经火, 用占卜, 行法术卖了自己, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 惹动他的怒气.

17:18 So Yahweh was very angry with Israel and he removed them from his presence; none remained except the tribe of Judah alone.
所以耶和华向以色列人大大发怒, 从自己面前赶出他们, 只剩下犹大一个支派.

17:19 Even Judah did not keep the commands of Yahweh their God, and they walked in the customs of Israel which they introduced,
犹大人也不遵守耶和华─他们神的诫命, 随从以色列人所立的条规.

17:20 so Yahweh rejected all the offspring of Israel and punished them, and he gave them into the hand of the plunderers until he banished them from his presence.
耶和华就厌弃以色列全族, 使他们受苦, 把他们交在抢夺他们的人手中, 以致赶出他们离开自己面前,

17:21 For he had torn Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king, but Jeroboam detached Israel from following Yahweh, and he made them sin a great sin.
将以色列国从大卫家夺回; 他们就立尼八的儿子耶罗波安作王. 耶罗波安引诱以色列人不随从耶和华, 陷在大罪里.

17:22 The Israelites walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he committed, and they did not depart from it,
以色列人犯耶罗波安所犯的一切罪, 总不离开,

17:23 until Yahweh removed Israel from his presence as he had foretold by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And so he deported Israel from upon his land to Assyria until this day.
以致耶和华从自己面前赶出他们, 正如藉他仆人众先知所说的. 这样, 以色列人从本地被掳到亚述, 直到今日.

17:24 The king of Assyria brought from Babylonia, from Cush, from Arva, from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and he settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the Israelites, so they took possession of Samaria and lived in her cities.
亚述王从巴比伦,古他,亚瓦,哈马, 和西法瓦音迁移人来, 安置在撒马利亚的城邑, 代替以色列人; 他们就得了撒马利亚, 住在其中.

17:25 It happened that when they began living there, they did not fear Yahweh, so Yahweh sent lions among them, and they were killing them.
他们才住那里的时候, 不敬畏耶和华, 所以耶和华叫狮子进入他们中间, 咬死了些人.

17:26 So they said to the king of Assyria, “The nations whom you deported and settled in the cities of Samaria do not know the customs of the God of the land, so he sent lions among them, and now they are killing them because they do not know the customs of the God of the land.”
有人告诉亚述王说: “你所迁移安置在撒马利亚各城的那些民, 不知道那地之神的规矩, 所以那神叫狮子进入他们中间, 咬死他们. ”

17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Release one of the priests whom you deported from there, and let him go and settle there. Let him teach them the customs of the God of the land.”
亚述王就吩咐说: “叫所掳来的祭司回去一个, 使他住在那里, 将那地之神的规矩指教那些民. ”

17:28 So one of the priests went, whom they had deported from Samaria, and he settled in Bethel and was teaching them how they should fear Yahweh.
于是有一个从撒马利亚掳去的祭司回来, 住在伯特利, 指教他们怎样敬畏耶和华.

17:29 Yet every nation was making their gods, and they put them in the shrine of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they were living.
然而, 各族之人在所住的城里各为自己制造神像, 安置在撒马利亚人所造有邱坛的殿中.

17:30 The men of Babylonia made Succoth Benoth; the men of Cush made Nergal; the men of Hamath made Ashima.
巴比伦人造疏割‧比讷像; 古他人造匿甲像; 哈马人造亚示玛像;

17:31 The Arvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; the Sepharvites were burning their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
亚瓦人造匿哈和他珥他像; 西法瓦音人用火焚烧儿女, 献给西法瓦音的神亚得米勒和亚拿米勒.

17:32 Those who were fearing Yahweh made priests of the high places from among themselves, and they were sacrificing for them in the shrines of the high places.
他们惧怕耶和华, 也从他们中间立邱坛的祭司, 为他们在有邱坛的殿中献祭.

17:33 Yahweh they were fearing, but their gods they were serving, according to the customs of the nations from which they were deported.
他们又惧怕耶和华, 又事奉自己的神, 从何邦迁移, 就随何邦的风俗.

17:34 Until this day they are doing according to their former customs; none of them are fearing Yahweh, and none of them are doing according to their statutes, to their decisions, to the law, or to the commands that Yahweh commanded the descendants of Jacob to which he had given the name Israel.
他们直到如今仍照先前的风俗去行, 不专心敬畏耶和华, 不全守自己的规矩,典章, 也不遵守耶和华吩咐雅各后裔的律法,诫命. 〈雅各, 就是从前耶和华起名叫以色列的. 〉

17:35 Yahweh had made a covenant with them and commanded them, “You shall not fear other gods, nor shall you bow down to them, nor shall you serve them, nor shall you sacrifice to them.
耶和华曾与他们立约, 嘱咐他们说: “不可敬畏别神, 不可跪拜事奉他, 也不可向他献祭.

17:36 Rather, Yahweh, who brought you out from the land of Egypt with great strength and with an outstretched arm—him you shall fear, and to him you shall bow down, and to him you shall sacrifice.
但那用大能和伸出来的膀臂领你们出埃及地的耶和华, 你们当敬畏, 跪拜, 向他献祭.

17:37 The statutes, the decisions, the law, and the commands that he wrote to you, you shall observe to do always, and you shall not fear other gods.
他给你们写的律例,典章,律法,诫命, 你们应当永远谨守遵行, 不可敬畏别神.

17:38 The covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, and you shall not fear other gods.
我─耶和华与你们所立的约你们不可忘记, 也不可敬畏别神.

17:39 But Yahweh your God you shall fear, and he will deliver you from the hand of all of your enemies.”
但要敬畏耶和华─你们的神, 他必救你们脱离一切仇敌的手. ”

17:40 They did not listen but kept on doing according to their former customs.
他们却不听从, 仍照先前的风俗去行.

17:41 So these nations were fearing Yahweh, but they were serving their idols, as were their children and their children’s children; as their ancestors did, they are doing until this day.
如此这些民又惧怕耶和华, 又事奉他们的偶像. 他们子子孙孙也都照样行, 效法他们的祖宗, 直到今日.

II Kings - Chapter 18

18:1 It happened in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king.
以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚第三年, 犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西家登基.

18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
他登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二十九年. 他母亲名叫亚比, 是撒迦利雅的女儿.

18:3 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that David his ancestor had done.
希西家行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 效法他祖大卫一切所行的.

18:4 He removed the high places, and he smashed the stone pillars; he cut down the poles of Asherah worship and demolished the bronze serpent which Moses had made, for up to those days the Israelites were offering incense to it and called it Nehushtan.
他废去邱坛, 毁坏柱像, 砍下木偶, 打碎摩西所造的铜蛇, 因为到那时以色列人仍向铜蛇烧香. 希西家叫铜蛇为铜块(或译: 人称铜蛇为铜像).

18:5 He trusted in Yahweh the God of Israel; there was no one like him, before or after, among all the kings of Judah.
希西家倚靠耶和华─以色列的神, 在他前后的犹大列王中没有一个及他的.

18:6 He held on to Yahweh; he did not depart from following him, and he kept his commands that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
因为他专靠耶和华, 总不离开, 谨守耶和华所吩咐摩西的诫命.

18:7 Yahweh was with him; everywhere he went, he succeeded. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
耶和华与他同在, 他无论往何处去尽都亨通. 他背叛,不肯事奉亚述王.

18:8 He attacked the Philistines up to Gaza and its territory from the watchtower up to the fortified city.
希西家攻击非利士人, 直到迦萨, 并迦萨的四境, 从瞭望楼到坚固城.

18:9 It happened in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, that is, the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came against Samaria and laid siege against her.
希西家王第四年, 就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚第七年, 亚述王撒缦以色上来围困撒马利亚;

18:10 At the end of three years, he captured it in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel; Samaria was captured.
过了三年就攻取了城. 希西家第六年, 以色列王何细亚第九年, 撒马利亚被攻取了.

18:11 Then the king of Assyria deported Israel to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Habor, in the river regions of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
亚述王将以色列人掳到亚述, 把他们安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河边, 并米底亚人的城邑;

18:12 because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh their God, and they transgressed his covenant; all that he had commanded Moses, the servant of Yahweh, they did not listen to nor did they obey.
都因他们不听从耶和华─他们神的话, 违背他的约, 就是耶和华仆人摩西吩咐他们所当守的.

18:13 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
希西家王十四年, 亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大的一切坚固城, 将城攻取.

18:14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong. Withdraw from me. What you impose on me I will bear.” So the king of Assyria imposed on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
犹大王希西家差人往拉吉去见亚述王, 说: “我有罪了, 求你离开我; 凡你罚我的, 我必承当. ”于是亚述王罚犹大王希西家银子三百他连得, 金子三十他连得.

18:15 Then Hezekiah gave all of the silver found in the temple of Yahweh and in the storerooms of the house of the king.
希西家就把耶和华殿里和王宫府库里所有的银子都给了他.

18:16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Yahweh and the doorposts which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria.
那时, 犹大王希西家将耶和华殿门上的金子和他自己包在柱上的金子都刮下来, 给了亚述王.

18:17 So the king of Assyria sent the commander in chief, the chief eunuch, and the chief advisor from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem with a heavy army. They went up and came to Jerusalem, then they went up and came and stood at the aqueduct of the upper pool which is on the main road of the washer’s field.
亚述王从拉吉差遣他珥探,拉伯撒利, 和拉伯沙基率领大军往耶路撒冷, 到希西家王那里去. 他们上到耶路撒冷, 就站在上池的水沟旁, 在漂布地的大路上.

18:18 Then they called to the king, so Eliakim the son of Hilkiah who was over the palace, Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to them.
他们呼叫王的时候, 就有希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬, 并书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚, 出来见他们.

18:19 Then the chief advisor said to them, “Please say to Hezekiah: ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What is this confidence that you trust?
拉伯沙基说: “你们去告诉希西家说, 亚述大王如此说: ‘你所倚靠的有甚么可仗赖的呢?

18:20 You think only a word of lips, ‘I have advice and power for the war.’ Now, on whom do you trust that you have rebelled against me?
你说有打仗的计谋和能力, 我看不过是虚话. 你到底倚靠谁才背叛我呢?

18:21 Now, look! You rely on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, which when a man leans on it, it goes into his hand and pierces it! So is Pharaoh the king of Egypt for all who are trusting on him!
看哪, 你所倚靠的埃及是那压伤的苇杖; 人若靠这杖, 就必刺透他的手. 埃及王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是这样.

18:22 But if you say to me, ‘On Yahweh our God we trust,’ is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, and he had said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘In the presence of this altar you shall bow down only in Jerusalem?’
你们若对我说: 我们倚靠耶和华─我们的神, 希西家岂不是将神的邱坛和祭坛废去, 且对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说: 你们当在耶路撒冷这坛前敬拜吗?

18:23 So then, please make a wager with my lord, with the king of Assyria, and I will give to you a thousand horses if you are able on your part to put riders on them.
现在你把当头给我主亚述王, 我给你二千匹马, 看你这一面骑马的人够不够.

18:24 How can you repulse a single captain among the least of the servants of my master? Yet you rely for yourself on Egypt for chariots and horsemen!
若不然, 怎能打败我主臣仆中最小的军长呢? 你竟倚靠埃及的战车马兵吗?

18:25 Have I now come up against this place without Yahweh to destroy it? Yahweh has said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it!’ ” ’ ”
现在我上来攻击毁灭这地, 岂没有耶和华的意思吗? 耶和华吩咐我说: 你上去攻击毁灭这地吧! ’”

18:26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah and Shebna and Joah said to the chief commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we are understanding, but you must not speak Judean with us in the ears of the people who are on the wall.”
希勒家的儿子以利亚敬和舍伯那, 并约亚, 对拉伯沙基说: “求你用亚兰言语和仆人说话, 因为我们懂得; 不要用犹大言语和我们说话, 达到城上百姓的耳中. ”

18:27 The chief commander said to them, “Is it solely to your master and to you my master has sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men who sit on the wall to eat their feces and to drink their urine with you?”
拉伯沙基说: “我主差遣我来, 岂是单对你和你的主说这些话吗? 不也是对这些坐在城上,要与你们一同吃自己粪,喝自己尿的人说吗? ”

18:28 Then the chief commander stood and called with a great voice in Judean, and he spoke and said, “Hear the word of the king, the great king of Assyria!
于是拉伯沙基站着, 用犹大言语大声喊著说: “你们当听亚述大王的话!

18:29 Thus says the king, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to rescue you from my hand.
王如此说: ‘你们不要被希西家欺哄了; 因他不能救你们脱离我的手.

18:30 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Certainly Yahweh will rescue us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria!” ’
也不要听希西家使你们倚靠耶和华, 说耶和华必要拯救我们, 这城必不交在亚述王的手中. ’

18:31 Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make with me a treaty of peace and come out to me that each may eat from his vine and each from his fig tree, and each may drink water from his cistern!
不要听希西家的话! 因亚述王如此说: ‘你们要与我和好, 出来投降我, 各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子, 喝自己井里的水.

18:32 Until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees, olive oil, and honey, that you may live and not die! You must not listen to Hezekiah, for he has misled you by saying, “Yahweh will deliver us!”
等我来领你们到一个地方与你们本地一样, 就是有五谷和新酒之地, 有粮食和葡萄园之地, 有橄榄树和蜂蜜之地, 好使你们存活, 不至于死. 希西家劝导你们, 说耶和华必拯救我们; 你们不要听他的话.

18:33 Did the gods of each of the nations ever rescue the land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
列国的神有哪一个救他本国脱离亚述王的手呢?

18:34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? For did they rescue Samaria from my hand?
哈马,亚珥拔的神在哪里呢? 西法瓦音,希拿,以瓦的神在哪里呢? 他们曾救撒马利亚脱离我的手吗?

18:35 Who among all of the gods of the countries have rescued their countries from my hand that Yahweh should rescue Jerusalem from my hand?’ ”
这些国的神有谁曾救自己的国脱离我的手呢? 难道耶和华能救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗? ’”

18:36 The people were silent, and they did not answer him a word, for the command of that king was saying, “You shall not answer him.”
百姓静默不言, 并不回答一句, 因为王曾吩咐说: “不要回答他. ”

18:37 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah who was over the palace, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with torn clothes, and they told him the words of the chief commander.
当下, 希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬和书记舍伯那, 并亚萨的儿子史官约亚, 都撕裂衣服, 来到希西家那里, 将拉伯沙基的话告诉了他.

II Kings - Chapter 19

19:1 It happened that when King Hezekiah heard, he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went to the temple of Yahweh.
希西家王听见, 就撕裂衣服, 披上麻布, 进了耶和华的殿;

19:2 He sent Eliakim who was over the palace, Shebna the secretary, the elders, and the priests, all clothed in sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
使家宰以利亚敬和书记舍伯那, 并祭司中的长老, 都披上麻布, 去见亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚,

19:3 They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘A day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace is this day, for the children are about to be born, but there is no strength to bear them.
对他说: “希西家如此说: ‘今日是急难,责罚,凌辱的日子, 就如妇人将要生产婴孩, 却没有力量生产.

19:4 Perhaps Yahweh your God will hear all of the words of the chief commander whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to insult the living God, and he will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remainder who are left.’ ”
或者耶和华─你的神听见拉伯沙基的一切话, 就是他主人亚述王打发他来辱骂永生神的话, 耶和华─你的神听见这话, 就发斥责. 故此, 求你为余剩的民扬声祷告. ’”

19:5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
希西家王的臣仆就去见以赛亚.

19:6 and Isaiah said to them, “Thus you must say to your master, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You must not be afraid because the face of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled me.
以赛亚对他们说: “要这样对你们的主人说, 耶和华如此说: ‘你听见亚述王的仆人亵渎我的话, 不要惧怕.

19:7 Look, I am putting in him a spirit. He will hear a rumor and return to his land. Then I will cause him to fall by the sword in his land.” ’ ”
我必惊动(原文是使灵进入)他的心, 他要听见风声就归回本地. 我必使他在那里倒在刀下. ’”

19:8 When the chief commander returned, he found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
拉伯沙基回去, 正遇见亚述王攻打立拿, 原来他早听见亚述王拔营离开拉吉.

19:9 He heard about Tirhakah, the king of Cush, saying, “Look, he has set out to fight with you,” so he again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
亚述王听见人论古实王特哈加说: “他出来要与你争战. ”于是亚述王又打发使者去见希西家, 吩咐他们说:

19:10 “Thus you shall say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, ‘Let not your God whom you are trusting deceive you, by his saying, “Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria!”
“你们对犹大王希西家如此说: ‘不要听你所倚靠的神欺哄你, 说耶路撒冷必不交在亚述王的手中.

19:11 Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, by utterly destroying them, and shall you be delivered?
你总听说亚述诸王向列国所行的, 乃是尽行灭绝, 难道你还能得救吗?

19:12 Did the gods of the nations that my predecessors destroyed deliver them? Not Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, nor the children of Eden who were in Tel Assar.
我列祖所毁灭的, 就是歌散,哈兰,利色, 和属提．拉撒的伊甸人, 这些国的神何曾拯救这些国呢?

19:13 Where are the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’ ”
哈马的王,亚珥拔的王,西法瓦音城的王,希拿, 和以瓦的王都在哪里呢? ’”

19:14 Hezekiah took the letters from the hand of the messengers and read them. Then he went up to the temple of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread them out before the presence of Yahweh.
希西家从使者手里接过书信来, 看完了, 就上耶和华的殿, 将书信在耶和华面前展开.

19:15 Then Hezekiah prayed before the face of Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel who lives above the cherubim. You are God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the world; you have made the heavens and the earth.
希西家向耶和华祷告说: “坐在二基路伯上耶和华─以色列的神啊, 你是天下万国的神, 你曾创造天地.

19:16 Incline your ears and hear; open, O Yahweh, your eyes and see and hear the words of Sennacherib which he has sent to insult the living God.
耶和华啊, 求你侧耳而听! 耶和华啊, 求你睁眼而看! 要听西拿基立打发使者来辱骂永生神的话.

19:17 Truly, O Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have utterly destroyed the nations and their land.
耶和华啊, 亚述诸王果然使列国和列国之地变为荒凉,

19:18 He has hurled their gods in the fire because they are not gods, but the work of the hands of a human made of wood and stone, so they destroyed them.
将列国的神像都扔在火里; 因为它本不是神, 乃是人手所造的, 是木头石头的, 所以灭绝它.

19:19 So then, O Yahweh our God, rescue us, please, from his hand, that all of the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Yahweh, you alone are God!”
耶和华─我们的神啊, 现在求你救我们脱离亚述王的手, 使天下万国都知道惟独你─耶和华是神! ”

19:20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘What you have prayed to me about Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚就打发人去见希西家, 说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘你既然求我攻击亚述王西拿基立, 我已听见了. ’

19:21 This is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him: She despises you, she scorns you, the virgin daughter of Zion. Behind you the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head.
耶和华论他这样说: 锡安的处女藐视你, 嗤笑你; 耶路撒冷的女子向你摇头.

19:22 Whom have you mocked and reviled? And against whom have you have raised your voice and have haughtily lifted your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
你辱骂谁? 亵渎谁? 扬起声来, 高举眼目攻击谁呢? 乃是攻击以色列的圣者!

19:23 By the hand of your messengers you have mocked the Lord, and you have said, ‘With my many chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains. To the remote areas of Lebanon, I have felled the tallest of its cedars, the choicest of its cypresses. I have entered the place of overnight lodging. Even to the edge of forest of its fertile land.
你藉你的使者辱骂主, 并说: 我率领许多战车上山顶, 到黎巴嫩极深之处; 我要砍伐其中高大的香柏树和佳美的松树; 我必上极高之处, 进入肥田的树林.

19:24 I dug wells and I drank foreign water, and I dried up with the sole of my steps all the canals of Egypt.’
我已经在外邦挖井喝水; 我必用脚掌踏干埃及的一切河.

19:25 Have you not heard? From long ago I have determined it, from the days of old I have planned it, and now I am bringing it to pass. It shall be turned into a pile of rocks; fortified cities are ruined.
耶和华说, 我早先所做的, 古时所立的, 就是现在藉你使坚固城荒废, 变为乱堆, 这事你岂没有听见吗?

19:26 Their inhabitants, short of hand, shall be dismayed; and they shall be ashamed. They have become green plants of the open field, and tender grass, green grass of the roof and blight before the standing grain.
所以其中的居民力量甚小, 惊惶羞愧. 他们像野草, 像青菜, 如房顶上的草, 又如未长成而枯干的禾稼.

19:27 Your sitting, your going out, and your coming in I know, and your raging against me.
你坐下, 你出去, 你进来, 你向我发烈怒, 我都知道.

19:28 Because you are raging against me, and your arrogance has come up in my ears, I will put my nose ring in your nose and my bridle in your mouth. And I will turn you back on the way that you have come.
因你向我发烈怒, 又因你狂傲的话达到我耳中, 我就要用钩子钩上你的鼻子, 把嚼环放在你口里, 使你从你来的路转回去.

19:29 “ ‘This will be the sign for you: Eat the volunteer plants for the year, and in the second year, the volunteer plants that spring up from that. But in the third year, sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
“以色列人哪, 我赐你们一个证据: 你们今年要吃自生的, 明年也要吃自长的; 至于后年, 你们要耕种收割, 栽植葡萄园, 吃其中的果子.

19:30 The remainder of the house of Judah which survives will again take root below and bear fruit above.
犹大家所逃脱余剩的, 仍要往下扎根, 向上结果.

19:31 For from Jerusalem a remnant shall go out and survivors from Mount Zion; the zeal of Yahweh will do this.
必有余剩的民从耶路撒冷而出; 必有逃脱的人从锡安山而来. 耶和华的热心必成就这事.

19:32 “ ‘Therefore thus says Yahweh to the king of Assyria, “He shall not come to this city, nor shall he shoot an arrow there, nor shall he bring a small shield near her, nor shall he cast a siege ramp against her.
“所以, 耶和华论亚述王如此说: ‘他必不得来到这城, 也不在这里射箭, 不得拿盾牌到城前, 也不筑垒攻城.

19:33 By the way that he came to her he shall return; but to this city, he shall not come,” declares Yahweh.
他从哪条路来, 必从那条路回去, 必不得来到这城. 这是耶和华说的.

19:34 And I will defend this city to save her for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.’ ”
因我为自己的缘故, 又为我仆人大卫的缘故, 必保护拯救这城. ’”

19:35 It happened in that night that an angel of Yahweh went out, and he struck down one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. When they got up early in the morning, look! All of them were dead corpses.
当夜, 耶和华的使者出去, 在亚述营中杀了十八万五千人. 清早有人起来, 一看, 都是死尸了.

19:36 Then Sennacherib king of Assyria set out and went and returned and lived in Nineveh.
亚述王西拿基立就拔营回去, 住在尼尼微.

19:37 It happened that he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword. Then they escaped into the land of Ararat, and Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.
一日在他的神尼斯洛庙里叩拜, 他儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他, 就逃到亚拉腊地. 他儿子以撒哈顿接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 20

20:1 In those days Hezekiah became deathly ill, and Isaiah the son of Amoz the prophet came to him and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Command your house, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’ ”
那时, 希西家病得要死. 亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他, 对他说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你当留遗命与你的家, 因为你必死, 不能活了. ’”

20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh, saying,
希西家就转脸朝墙, 祷告耶和华说:

20:3 “O Yahweh, please remember how I went about before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and remember the good that I have done in your eyes.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.
“耶和华啊, 求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心, 按诚实行事, 又做你眼中所看为善的. ”希西家就痛哭了.

20:4 Isaiah had not gone out from the middle of the city when the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
以赛亚出来, 还没有到中院(院: 或译城), 耶和华的话就临到他, 说:

20:5 “Return; you must say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, ‘Thus says Yahweh the God of David your ancestor, “I have heard your prayer and I have seen your tears. Look, I am about to heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the temple of Yahweh.
“你回去告诉我民的君希西家说: 耶和华─你祖大卫的神如此说: ‘我听见了你的祷告, 看见了你的眼泪, 我必医治你; 到第三日, 你必上到耶和华的殿.

20:6 I will add to your days fifteen years, and from the hand of the king of Assyria I will deliver you and this city. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.” ’ ”
我必加增你十五年的寿数, 并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手. 我为自己和我仆人大卫的缘故, 必保护这城. ’”

20:7 Then Isaiah said, “Bring a lump of figs,” so they took and put it on the skin sores, and he lived.
以赛亚说: “当取一块无花果饼来. ”人就取了来, 贴在疮上, 王便痊愈了.

20:8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What is the sign that Yahweh will heal me that I shall go up on the third day to the temple of Yahweh?”
希西家问以赛亚说: “耶和华必医治我, 到第三日, 我能上耶和华的殿, 有甚么兆头呢? ”

20:9 Isaiah said, “This is the sign for you from Yahweh that Yahweh will do the thing that he has promised: Shall the shadow advance ten steps or shall it return ten steps?”
以赛亚说: “耶和华必成就他所说的. 这是他给你的兆头: 你要日影向前进十度呢? 是要往后退十度呢? ”

20:10 Hezekiah answered, “It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps. No, but let the shadow return backwards ten steps.”
希西家回答说: “日影向前进十度容易, 我要日影往后退十度. ”

20:11 Isaiah the prophet called to Yahweh, and he brought back the shadow on the steps where it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz, backwards ten steps.
先知以赛亚求告耶和华, 耶和华就使亚哈斯的日晷向前进的日影, 往后退了十度.

20:12 At that time, Berodak-Baladan the son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.
那时, 巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子米罗达‧巴拉但听见希西家病而痊愈, 就送书信和礼物给他.

20:13 Hezekiah heard about them and showed them all of the house of his treasure, both the silver and the gold, the spices, the good olive oil, the room of his weapons, and all that could be found in his treasuries. There was nothing that he did not show them in his palace and in all of his kingdom.
希西家听从使者的话, 就把他宝库的金子,银子,香料,贵重的膏油, 和他武库的一切军器, 并他所有的财宝, 都给他们看. 他家中和他全国之内, 希西家没有一样不给他们看的.

20:14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?” Hezekiah said, “From a far land; they have come from Babylon.”
于是先知以赛亚来见希西家王, 问他说: “这些人说甚么? 他们从哪里来见你? ”希西家说: “他们从远方的巴比伦来. ”

20:15 Then he asked, “What did they see in your palace?” And Hezekiah said, “All that is in my palace they have seen; there is nothing that I did not show them in my treasuries.”
以赛亚说: “他们在你家里看见了甚么? ”希西家说: “凡我家中所有的, 他们都看见了; 我财宝中没有一样不给他们看的. ”

20:16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of Yahweh!
以赛亚对希西家说: “你要听耶和华的话,

20:17 ‘Look, days are coming when all that is in your palace will be carried off; even all that your ancestors have stored up until this day, to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says Yahweh.
日子必到, 凡你家里所有的, 并你列祖积蓄到如今的, 都要被掳到巴比伦去, 不留下一样. 这是耶和华说的.

20:18 ‘Your sons who went out from you, whom you brought forth, will be taken, and they shall be eunuchs in the temple of the king of Babylon.’ ”
并且从你本身所生的众子, 其中必有被掳去在巴比伦王宫里当太监的. ”

20:19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of Yahweh which you have spoken is good,” and he thought, “Is it not that peace and security shall be in my days?”
希西家对以赛亚说: “你所说耶和华的话甚好! 若在我的年日中有太平和稳固的景况, 岂不是好吗? ”

20:20 Now the remainder of the acts of Hezekiah, all of his powerful deeds, and how he made the pool and the conduit and brought the water into the city, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
希西家其余的事和他的勇力, 他怎样挖池,挖沟,引水入城, 都写在犹大列王记上.

20:21 Then Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
希西家与他列祖同睡. 他儿子玛拿西接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 21

21:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
玛拿西登基的时候年十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王五十五年. 他母亲名叫协西巴.

21:2 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, according to the detestable things of the nations that Yahweh had driven out from the presence of the Israelites.
玛拿西行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法耶和华在以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事.

21:3 He returned and rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed. He erected altars for Baal and made a pole of Asherah worship just as Ahab king of Israel had made, and he bowed down to all of the host of heaven and served them.
重新建筑他父希西家所毁坏的邱坛, 又为巴力筑坛, 做亚舍拉像, 效法以色列王亚哈所行的, 且敬拜事奉天上的万象;

21:4 He built altars in the temple of Yahweh about which Yahweh had said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
在耶和华殿宇中筑坛. 耶和华曾指著这殿说: “我必立我的名在耶路撒冷. ”

21:5 He built an altar to all of the host of heaven in the two courtyards of the temple of Yahweh.
他在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象筑坛,

21:6 He made his son pass through the fire, practiced soothsaying and divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He increased the doing of evil in the eyes of Yahweh to provoke him.
并使他的儿子经火, 又观兆, 用法术, 立交鬼的和行巫术的, 多行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 惹动他的怒气;

21:7 He put the image of the Asherah that he had made in the temple which Yahweh had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this temple and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all of the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
又在殿内立雕刻的亚舍拉像. 耶和华曾对大卫和他儿子所罗门说: “我在以色列众支派中所选择的耶路撒冷和这殿, 必立我的名, 直到永远.

21:8 I will not again make the feet of Israel wander from the land which I have given to their ancestors, if they only observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, as far as the law that Moses my servant commanded them.”
以色列人若谨守遵行我一切所吩咐他们的和我仆人摩西所吩咐他们的一切律法, 我就不再使他们挪移离开我所赐给他们列祖之地. ”

21:9 But Manasseh did not listen and tempted them to do evil more than the nations that Yahweh destroyed before the presence of the Israelites.
他们却不听从. 玛拿西引诱他们行恶, 比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚.

21:10 So Yahweh spoke by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying,
耶和华藉他仆人众先知说:

21:11 “Because Manasseh the king of Judah committed these detestable things and did evil more than the Amorites did who were before him and caused even Judah to sin with his idols,
“因犹大王玛拿西行这些可憎的恶事比先前亚摩利人所行的更甚, 使犹大人拜他的偶像, 陷在罪里;

21:12 therefore, thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Look, I am bringing disaster upon Jerusalem and Judah about which the two ears of all who hear it will tingle.
所以耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我必降祸与耶路撒冷和犹大, 叫一切听见的人无不耳鸣.

21:13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes the dish; he wipes it and turns it on its face.
我必用量撒马利亚的准绳和亚哈家的线铊拉在耶路撒冷上, 必擦净耶路撒冷, 如人擦盘, 将盘倒扣.

21:14 I will give up the remainder of my inheritance, and I will give them into the hand of their enemies. They shall become as prey and as spoil for all their enemies,
我必弃掉所余剩的子民(原文是产业), 把他们交在仇敌手中, 使他们成为一切仇敌掳掠之物;

21:15 because they have done evil in my eyes and were provoking me from the day that their ancestors came out from Egypt up to this day.’ ”
是因他们自从列祖出埃及直到如今, 常行我眼中看为恶的事, 惹动我的怒气. ”

21:16 Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he filled Jerusalem from one end to another, apart from his sin which he caused Judah to sin by doing evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
玛拿西行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 使犹大人陷在罪里, 又流许多无辜人的血, 充满了耶路撒冷, 从这边直到那边.

21:17 The remainder of the acts of Manasseh and all that he did and his sin that he committed, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
玛拿西其余的事, 凡他所行的和他所犯的罪都写在犹大列王记上.

21:18 Then Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his palace, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son became king in his place.
玛拿西与他列祖同睡, 葬在自己宫院乌撒的园内; 他儿子亚们接续他作王.

21:19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
亚们登基的时候年二十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二年. 他母亲名叫米舒利密, 是约提巴人哈鲁斯的女儿.

21:20 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh as Manasseh his father had done.
亚们行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 与他父亲玛拿西所行的一样;

21:21 He walked in all of the way which his father had walked, and he served the idols which his father had served and bowed down to them.
行他父亲一切所行的, 敬奉他父亲所敬奉的偶像,

21:22 He abandoned Yahweh the God of his ancestors and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
离弃耶和华─他列祖的神, 不遵行耶和华的道.

21:23 The servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.
亚们王的臣仆背叛他, 在宫里杀了他.

21:24 But the people of the land killed all who conspired against the king and made Josiah his son king in his place.
但国民杀了那些背叛亚们王的人, 立他儿子约西亚接续他作王.

21:25 The remainder of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
亚们其余所行的事都写在犹大列王记上.

21:26 They buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in place of him.
亚们葬在乌撒的园内自己的坟墓里. 他儿子约西亚接续他作王.

II Kings - Chapter 22

22:1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath.
约西亚登基的时候年八岁, 在耶路撒冷作王三十一年. 他母亲名叫耶底大, 是波斯加人亚大雅的女儿.

22:2 He did right in the eyes of Yahweh, and he walked in all of the way of David his ancestor and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
约西亚行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 行他祖大卫一切所行的, 不偏左右.

22:3 It happened in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent word to Shaphan the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the secretary of the temple of Yahweh, saying,
约西亚王十八年, 王差遣米书兰的孙子,亚萨利的儿子─书记沙番上耶和华殿去, 吩咐他说:

22:4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and let them count the money being brought to the temple of Yahweh which the keepers of the threshold have collected from the people,
“你去见大祭司希勒家, 使他将奉到耶和华殿的银子, 就是守门的从民中收聚的银子, 数算数算,

22:5 and let them give it into the hand of those appointed doers of the work at the temple of Yahweh. Let them give it to the doers of the work who are at the temple of Yahweh to repair the breach of the temple:
交给耶和华殿里办事的人, 使他们转交耶和华殿里做工的人, 好修理殿的破坏之处,

22:6 to the skilled craftsmen, to the builders, to the masons, and to buy timber and hewing stones to repair the temple.
就是转交木匠和工人, 并瓦匠, 又买木料和凿成的石头修理殿宇,

22:7 Only the money being given to them is not to be accounted for by them, for they are dealing with honesty.”
将银子交在办事的人手里, 不与他们算帐, 因为他们办事诚实. ”

22:8 Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the temple of Yahweh,” and Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan and he read it.
大祭司希勒家对书记沙番说: “我在耶和华殿里得了律法书. ”希勒家将书递给沙番, 沙番就看了.

22:9 Shaphan the secretary came to the king and returned the king a word, and he said, “Your servant poured out the money found in the temple, and they have given it into the hand of the doers of the work appointed over the temple of Yahweh.”
书记沙番到王那里, 回覆王说: “你的仆人已将殿里的银子倒出数算, 交给耶和华殿里办事的人了. ”

22:10 Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll.” Then Shaphan read before the king.
书记沙番又对王说: “祭司希勒家递给我一卷书. ”沙番就在王面前读那书.

22:11 When the king heard the words of the scroll of the Torah, he tore his clothes.
王听见律法书上的话, 便撕裂衣服,

22:12 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Acbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the servant of the king, saying,
吩咐祭司希勒家与沙番的儿子亚希甘,米该亚的儿子亚革波,书记沙番和王的臣仆亚撒雅, 说:

22:13 “Go, inquire of Yahweh for me and for the people and for all of Judah concerning the words of this scroll that was found. For the wrath of Yahweh that is kindled against us is great because our ancestors did not listen to the words of this scroll to do according to all that is written concerning us!”
“你们去为我,为民,为犹大众人, 以这书上的话求问耶和华; 因为我们列祖没有听从这书上的言语, 没有遵著书上所吩咐我们的去行, 耶和华就向我们大发烈怒. ”

22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah the son of Harhas, the keeper of the robes. Now she was living in Jerusalem in the second district. Then they spoke to her,
于是, 祭司希勒家和亚希甘,亚革波,沙番,亚撒雅都去见女先知户勒大. 户勒大是掌管礼服沙龙的妻; 沙龙是哈珥哈斯的孙子,特瓦的儿子. 户勒大住在耶路撒冷第二区. 他们请问于她.

22:15 and she said to them, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Say to the man who sent you to me,
她对他们说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘你们可以回复那差遣你们来见我的人说,

22:16 “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Look I am bringing evil to this place and upon its inhabitants, according to all of the words of that scroll that the king of Judah has read
耶和华如此说: 我必照着犹大王所读那书上的一切话, 降祸与这地和其上的居民.

22:17 because they have abandoned me and they have burned incense to other gods, provoking me to anger with all of the works of their hands. My wrath shall be kindled against this place and not be quenched.’ ”
因为他们离弃我, 向别神烧香, 用他们手所做的惹我发怒, 所以我的忿怒必向这地发作, 总不止息. ’

22:18 And to the king of Judah who sent all of you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall say to him, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel, ‘Concerning the words that you have heard,
然而, 差遣你们来求问耶和华的犹大王, 你们要这样回复他说: ‘耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 至于你所听见的话,

22:19 because you have a responsive heart, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants to become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before my face, I have also heard, declares Yahweh.
就是听见我指著这地和其上的居民所说,要使这地变为荒场,民受咒诅的话, 你便心里敬服, 在我面前自卑, 撕裂衣服, 向我哭泣, 因此我应允了你. 这是我─耶和华说的.

22:20 Therefore look, I am gathering you to your ancestors, and you shall be gathered to your tombs in peace. Your eyes will not see all of the disaster that I am bringing onto this place.’ ” ’ ” Then they reported the word to the king.
我必使你平平安安地归到坟墓到你列祖那里; 我要降与这地的一切灾祸, 你也不致亲眼看见. ’”他们就回覆王去了.

II Kings - Chapter 23

23:1 So the king sent word, and all of the elders of Judah and Jerusalem gathered to him.
王差遣人招聚犹大和耶路撒冷的众长老来.

23:2 Then the king went up to the temple of Yahweh, and all of the men of Judah and all of the inhabitants of Jerusalem were with him, including the priests, the prophets, and all of the people from smallest to greatest; and in their hearing he read all of the words of the scroll of the covenant that had been found in the temple of Yahweh.
王和犹大众人与耶路撒冷的居民, 并祭司,先知, 和所有的百姓, 无论大小, 都一同上到耶和华的殿; 王就把耶和华殿里所得的约书念给他们听.

23:3 Then the king stood by the pillar, and he made a covenant before Yahweh, to go after Yahweh and to keep his commands and his warnings and his statutes, with all of his heart and with his all of his soul, to keep the words of this covenant written on this scroll. Then all of the people joined in the covenant.
王站在柱旁, 在耶和华面前立约, 要尽心尽性地顺从耶和华, 遵守他的诫命,法度,律例, 成就这书上所记的约言. 众民都服从这约.

23:4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the second priests, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the temple of Yahweh all of the objects made for Baal and for the Asherah and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and then he carried their ashes to Bethel.
王吩咐大祭司希勒家和副祭司, 并把门的, 将那为巴力和亚舍拉, 并天上万象所造的器皿, 都从耶和华殿里搬出来, 在耶路撒冷外汲沦溪旁的田间烧了, 把灰拿到伯特利去.

23:5 He removed the priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense on the high places at the cities of Judah and around Jerusalem and who offered incense to, to the sun, to the moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.
从前犹大列王所立拜偶像的祭司, 在犹大城邑的邱坛和耶路撒冷的周围烧香, 现在王都废去, 又废去向巴力和日,月,行星(或译: 十二宫), 并天上万象烧香的人;

23:6 He brought out the Asherah image from the temple of Yahweh outside of Jerusalem to the Wadi of the Kidron and burnt it there; then he pulverized it to dust and threw its dust upon the tombs of the children of the people.
又从耶和华殿里将亚舍拉搬到耶路撒冷外汲沦溪边焚烧, 打碎成灰, 将灰撒在平民的坟上;

23:7 He tore down the shrines of the male shrine prostitutes which were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women were weaving shrines for the Asherah.
又拆毁耶和华殿里娈童的屋子, 就是妇女为亚舍拉织帐子的屋子,

23:8 Then he brought all of the priests from the cities of Judah and defiled the high places where the priests from Geba up to Beersheba burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates which were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on the left of each gate of the city.
并且从犹大的城邑带众祭司来, 污秽祭司烧香的邱坛, 从迦巴直到别是巴, 又拆毁城门旁的邱坛, 这邱坛在邑宰约书亚门前, 进城门的左边.

23:9 However, the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread in the midst of their relatives.
但是邱坛的祭司不登耶路撒冷耶和华的坛, 只在他们弟兄中间吃无酵饼.

23:10 He defiled the Topheth which is in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, to prevent anyone causing his sons or his daughters to pass through the fire for Molech.
又污秽欣嫩子谷的陀斐特, 不许人在那里使儿女经火献给摩洛;

23:11 He kept the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from coming to the temple of Yawheh at the side room of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, which was in the court; and the chariots of the sun he burned with fire.
又将犹大列王在耶和华殿门旁,太监拿单．米勒靠近游廊的屋子,向日头所献的马废去, 且用火焚烧日车.

23:12 The altars which were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courtyards of the temple of Yahweh, the king tore down and ran from there and threw their ashes into the Wadi Kidron.
犹大列王在亚哈斯楼顶上所筑的坛和玛拿西在耶和华殿两院中所筑的坛, 王都拆毁打碎了, 就把灰倒在汲沦溪中.

23:13 The high places which were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the Mountain of Destruction which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the detestable thing of the Ammonites, the king defiled.
从前以色列王所罗门在耶路撒冷前,邪僻山右边为西顿人可憎的神亚斯她录,摩押人可憎的神基抹,亚扪人可憎的神米勒公所筑的邱坛, 王都污秽了,

23:14 He also broke into pieces the stone pillars and cut down the Asherah poles and covered their sites with human bones.
又打碎柱像, 砍下木偶, 将人的骨头充满了那地方.

23:15 Moreover, the altar which was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin, had built, even that altar and the high place, Josiah tore down. Then he burned down the high place and crushed the pole of Asherah worship to dust and burned it with fire.
他将伯特利的坛, 就是叫以色列人陷在罪里,尼八的儿子耶罗波安所筑的那坛, 都拆毁焚烧, 打碎成灰, 并焚烧了亚舍拉.

23:16 When Josiah turned and saw the tombs which were there on the hill, he sent and took the bones from the tombs and burned them on the altar. Thus he defiled them according to the word of Yahweh that the man of God had proclaimed who had proclaimed these things.
约西亚回头, 看见山上的坟墓, 就打发人将坟墓里的骸骨取出来, 烧在坛上, 污秽了坛, 正如从前神人宣传耶和华的话.

23:17 Then he said, “What is this gravestone that I am seeing?” The men of the city said to him, “This is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
约西亚问说: “我所看见的是甚么碑? ”那城里的人回答说: “先前有神人从犹大来, 预先说王现在向伯特利坛所行的事, 这就是他的墓碑. ”

23:18 So Josiah said, “Let him rest and let no man move his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
约西亚说: “由他吧! 不要挪移他的骸骨. ”他们就不动他的骸骨, 也不动从撒马利亚来那先知的骸骨.

23:19 Moreover, all of the shrines of the high places which were in the towns of Samaria which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh, Josiah removed, and he did to them like all of the deeds he had done in Bethel.
从前以色列诸王在撒马利亚的城邑建筑邱坛的殿, 惹动耶和华的怒气, 现在约西亚都废去了, 就如他在伯特利所行的一般;

23:20 Then he slaughtered all of the priests of the high places who were there, on the altars, and he burned the bones of the humans on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
又将邱坛的祭司都杀在坛上, 并在坛上烧人的骨头, 就回耶路撒冷去了.

23:21 Then the king commanded all of the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as has been written on the scroll of this covenant.”
王吩咐众民说: “你们当照这约书上所写的, 向耶和华─你们的神守逾越节. ”

23:22 For they had not kept this Passover from the days of the judges who had judged over Israel or during the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.
自从士师治理以色列人和以色列王,犹大王的时候, 直到如今, 实在没有守过这样的逾越节;

23:23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept for Yahweh in Jerusalem.
只有约西亚王十八年在耶路撒冷向耶和华守这逾越节.

23:24 Moreover, the mediums and the spiritists, the household gods and the idols, and all of the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah removed in order to establish the words of the law written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had found in the temple of Yahweh.
凡犹大国和耶路撒冷所有交鬼的,行巫术的, 与家中的神像和偶像, 并一切可憎之物, 约西亚尽都除掉, 成就了祭司希勒家在耶和华殿里所得律法书上所写的话.

23:25 There was not a king like him before him, who turned to Yahweh with all of his heart and with all of his soul and with all of his might according to the law of Moses, nor did one arise like him afterwards.
在约西亚以前没有王像他尽心,尽性,尽力地归向耶和华, 遵行摩西的一切律法; 在他以后也没有兴起一个王像他.

23:26 However, Yahweh did not turn from the fierceness of his great anger which was kindled against Judah because of all of the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him.
然而, 耶和华向犹大所发猛烈的怒气仍不止息, 是因玛拿西诸事惹动他.

23:27 Yahweh had said, “Even Judah I will remove from my face, as I have removed Israel; I will reject this city that I have chosen, even Jerusalem and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there’!”
耶和华说: “我必将犹大人从我面前赶出, 如同赶出以色列人一般; 我必弃掉我从前所选择的这城─耶路撒冷和我所说立我名的殿. ”

23:28 The remainder of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约西亚其余的事, 凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上.

23:29 In his days, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went to meet him, and he killed him at Megiddo as soon as he saw him.
约西亚年间, 埃及王法老尼哥上到幼发拉底河攻击亚述王; 约西亚王去抵挡他. 埃及王遇见约西亚在米吉多, 就杀了他.

23:30 So his servants drove him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, and they brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
他的臣仆用车将他的尸首从米吉多送到耶路撒冷, 葬在他自己的坟墓里. 国民膏约西亚的儿子约哈斯接续他父亲作王.

23:31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
约哈斯登基的时候年二十三岁, 在耶路撒冷作王三个月. 他母亲名叫哈慕她, 是立拿人耶利米的女儿.

23:32 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all his ancestors had done.
约哈斯行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法他列祖一切所行的.

23:33 Then Pharaoh Neco confined him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and imposed a levy on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
法老尼哥将约哈斯锁禁在哈马地的利比拉, 不许他在耶路撒冷作王, 又罚犹大国银子一百他连得, 金子一他连得.

23:34 Then Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of Josiah his father, and he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
法老尼哥立约西亚的儿子以利亚敬接续他父亲约西亚作王, 给他改名叫约雅敬, 却将约哈斯带到埃及, 他就死在那里.

23:35 The silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh; however, he taxed the land to give the silver to meet the demands of Pharaoh. Each according to assessment, he exacted payment of the silver and the gold from the people of the land to give to Pharaoh Neco.
约雅敬将金银给法老, 遵著法老的命向国民征取金银, 按著各人的力量派定, 索要金银, 好给法老尼哥.

23:36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.
约雅敬登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十一年. 他母亲名叫西布大, 是鲁玛人毘大雅的女儿.

23:37 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his ancestors had done.
约雅敬行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法他列祖一切所行的.

II Kings - Chapter 24

24:1 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up because Jehoiakim had become his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.
约雅敬年间, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上到犹大; 约雅敬服事他三年, 然后背叛他.

24:2 So Yahweh sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, raiding bands of Aram, raiding bands of Moab, and raiding bands of the Ammonites. He had sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Yahweh that he had spoken by the hand of his servants the prophets.
耶和华使迦勒底军,亚兰军,摩押军, 和亚扪人的军来攻击约雅敬, 毁灭犹大, 正如耶和华藉他仆人众先知所说的.

24:3 Surely, it was on the command of Yahweh against Judah to remove them from his sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done.
这祸临到犹大人, 诚然是耶和华所命的, 要将他们从自己面前赶出, 是因玛拿西所犯的一切罪;

24:4 Also, for the blood of the innocent that he had shed—and he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood—Yahweh was not willing to forgive.
又因他流无辜人的血, 充满了耶路撒冷; 耶和华决不肯赦免.

24:5 The remainder of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
约雅敬其余的事, 凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上.

24:6 So Jehoiakim slept with his ancestors, and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
约雅敬与他列祖同睡. 他儿子约雅斤接续他作王.

24:7 The king of Egypt did not again come out from his land, for the king of Babylon had taken territory from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
埃及王不再从他国中出来; 因为巴比伦王将埃及王所管之地, 从埃及小河直到幼发拉底河都夺去了.

24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan from Jerusalem.
约雅斤登基的时候年十八岁, 在耶路撒冷作王三个月. 他母亲名叫尼护施她, 是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿.

24:9 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his father had done.
约雅斤行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法他父亲一切所行的.

24:10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and the city came under the siege.
那时, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的军兵上到耶路撒冷, 围困城.

24:11 Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city while his servants were besieging it.
当他军兵围困城的时候, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒就亲自来了.

24:12 Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his court officials. The king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
犹大王约雅斤和他母亲,臣仆,首领,太监一同出城, 投降巴比伦王; 巴比伦王便拿住他. 那时是巴比伦王第八年.

24:13 Then he took from there all of the treasures of the temple of Yahweh and the treasures of the palace of the king. He cut up all of the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, as Yahweh had foretold.
巴比伦王将耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物都拿去了, 将以色列王所罗门所造耶和华殿里的金器都毁坏了, 正如耶和华所说的;

24:14 He deported all of Jerusalem: all of the commanders, ten thousand of the skilled warriors, and the artisans; no one was left over except the poorest of the people of the land.
又将耶路撒冷的众民和众首领, 并所有大能的勇士, 共一万人, 连一切木匠,铁匠都掳了去; 除了国中极贫穷的人以外, 没有剩下的;

24:15 He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon; the mother of the king, the wives of the king, his court officials, and the citizenry of the land he caused to go into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
并将约雅斤和王母,后妃,太监, 与国中的大官, 都从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去了;

24:16 of all of the skilled men, seven thousand, and of the skilled craftsmen and the artisans, one thousand. All of the mighty warriors fit for war the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
又将一切勇士七千人和木匠,铁匠一千人, 都是能上阵的勇士, 全掳到巴比伦去了.

24:17 Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
巴比伦王立约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅代替他作王, 给玛探雅改名叫西底家.

24:18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
西底家登基的时候年二十一岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十一年. 他母亲名叫哈慕她, 是立拿人耶利米的女儿.

24:19 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh just like all that Jehoiakim had done.
西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 是照约雅敬一切所行的.

24:20 For it happened because of the anger of Yahweh, in Jerusalem and in Judah, until they were cast out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作, 以致将人民从自己面前赶出.

II Kings - Chapter 25

25:1 It happened that in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he and his army, against Jerusalem. He encamped against it and built siege works against it all around.
西底家背叛巴比伦王. 他作王第九年十月初十日, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来攻击耶路撒冷, 对城安营, 四围筑垒攻城.

25:2 So the city came under siege until the eleventh year of the king.
于是城被围困, 直到西底家王十一年.

25:3 In the ninth month, the famine became severe in the city, and there was no food for the people of the land.
四月初九日, 城里有大饥荒, 甚至百姓都没有粮食.

25:4 Then the city was breached, and all of the men of war entered by night by way of the gate between the wall which was by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans were against the city all around, so he left by the way of the Arabah.
城被攻破, 一切兵丁就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门逃跑. 迦勒底人正在四围攻城, 王就向亚拉巴逃走.

25:5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the Arabah of Jericho, and all of his army scattered from him.
迦勒底的军队追赶王, 在耶利哥的平原追上他; 他的全军都离开他四散了.

25:6 So they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they passed sentence on him.
迦勒底人就拿住王, 带他到在利比拉的巴比伦王那里审判他.

25:7 They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; then they blinded the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.
在西底家眼前杀了他的众子, 并且剜了西底家的眼睛, 用铜炼锁着他, 带到巴比伦去.

25:8 In the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a commander of the imperial guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初七日, 巴比伦王的臣仆,护卫长尼布撒拉旦来到耶路撒冷,

25:9 He burned the temple of Yahweh, the palace of the king, and all of the houses of Jerusalem; every large house he burned with fire.
用火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫, 又焚烧耶路撒冷的房屋, 就是各大户家的房屋.

25:10 He and all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the imperial guard tore down the wall of Jerusalem all around.
跟从护卫长迦勒底的全军就拆毁耶路撒冷四围的城墙.

25:11 The remainder of the people left in the city, the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the commander of the imperial guard deported.
那时护卫长尼布撒拉旦将城里所剩下的百姓, 并已经投降巴比伦王的人, 以及大众所剩下的人, 都掳去了.

25:12 But the poor of the land the commander of the imperial guard left for the vineyards and for tilling.
但护卫长留下些民中最穷的, 使他们修理葡萄园, 耕种田地.

25:13 The bronze pillars which were in the temple of Yahweh, the water carts, and the bronze sea that was in the temple of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke into pieces and carried their bronze to Babylon.
耶和华殿的铜柱, 并耶和华殿的盆座和铜海, 迦勒底人都打碎了, 将那铜运到巴比伦去了,

25:14 The pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the dishes, and the vessels of bronze with which they served there, they took.
又带去锅,铲子,蜡剪,调羹, 并所用的一切铜器,

25:15 The firepans and the basins, whatever was gold, the commander of the imperial guard took for the gold and whatever was silver, for the silver.
火鼎,碗, 无论金的银的, 护卫长也都带去了.

25:16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the water cart which Solomon had made for the temple of Yahweh, there was no weighing to the bronze of all of these vessels.
所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱,一个铜海, 和几个盆座, 这一切的铜, 多得无法可称.

25:17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; a bronze capital was on it, with the height of the capital being three cubits. The latticework and pomegranates on the capital all around were bronze, and likewise on the latticework for the second pillar.
这一根柱子高十八肘, 柱上有铜顶, 高三肘; 铜顶的周围有网子和石榴, 都是铜的. 那一根柱子, 照此一样, 也有网子.

25:18 Then the commander of the imperial guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and three of the threshold keepers.
护卫长拿住大祭司西莱雅,副祭司西番亚, 和三个把门的,

25:19 From the city he took one court official who was chief officer over the men of war, five men from the king’s council who were found in the city, the secretary of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men from the people of the land being found in the city.
又从城中拿住一个管理兵丁的官(或译: 太监), 并在城里所遇常见王面的五个人和检点国民军长的书记, 以及城里遇见的国民六十个人.

25:20 Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦将这些人带到在利比拉的巴比伦王那里.

25:21 Then the king of Babylon struck them down and killed them at Riblah in the land of Hamath; thus Judah was removed from its land.
巴比伦王就把他们击杀在哈马地的利比拉. 这样, 犹大人被掳去离开本地.

25:22 Now as far as the people left in Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left behind, he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan over them.
至于犹大国剩下的民, 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所剩下的, 巴比伦王立了沙番的孙子,亚希甘的儿子基大利作他们的省长.

25:23 When all of the commanders of the troops heard, they and the men, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seriah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
众军长和属他们的人听见巴比伦王立了基大利作省长, 于是军长尼探雅的儿子以实玛利,加利亚的儿子约哈难,尼陀法人单户蔑的儿子西莱雅,玛迦人的儿子雅撒尼亚, 和属他们的人都到米斯巴见基大利.

25:24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and he said to them, “You must not be afraid because of the Chaldeans. Settle in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and may it go well with you.”
基大利向他们和属他们的人起誓说: “你们不必惧怕迦勒底臣仆, 只管住在这地服事巴比伦王, 就可以得福. ”

25:25 But it happened in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama from the offspring of the kingship came, and ten men with him, and they struck down Gedaliah so that he died with the Judeans and with the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
七月间, 宗室以利沙玛的孙子,尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人来, 杀了基大利和同他在米斯巴的犹大人与迦勒底人.

25:26 Then all the people, from youngest to oldest, and the commanders of the troops, went to Egypt, for they were afraid of the presence of the Chaldeans.
于是众民, 无论大小, 连众军长; 因为惧怕迦勒底人, 都起身往埃及去了.

25:27 It happened in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month on the twenty-seventh of the month, lifted Evil-Merodach king of Babylon in the year that he became king, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah from the house of imprisonment.
犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年, 巴比伦王以未．米罗达元年十二月二十七日, 使犹大王约雅斤抬头, 提他出监;

25:28 He spoke kindly to him, and he gave him a better seat than the seat of the kings who were with him in Babylon.
又对他说恩言, 使他的位高过与他一同在巴比伦众王的位,

25:29 So he changed the clothes of his imprisonment, and he ate food continually in his presence all the days of his life.
给他脱了囚服. 他终身常在巴比伦王面前吃饭.

25:30 His allowance was continually given to him from the king, a portion every day all the days of his life.
王赐他所需用的食物, 日日赐他一分, 终身都是这样.

以色列众人聚集到希伯仑见大卫, 说: “我们原是你的骨肉.

11:2 For some time now, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led the army of Israel in battle. And Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel and will be leader over my people Israel.’ ”
从前扫罗作王的时候, 率领以色列人出入的是你; 耶和华─你的神也曾应许你说: ‘你必牧养我的民以色列, 作以色列的君. ’”

11:3 Then all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron in the presence of Yahweh. And they anointed David as king over Israel according to the word of Yahweh by the hand of Samuel.
于是以色列的长老都来到希伯仑见大卫王. 大卫在希伯仑耶和华面前与他们立约, 他们就膏大卫作以色列的王, 是照耶和华藉撒母耳所说的话.

11:4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is Jebus). And the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
大卫和以色列众人到了耶路撒冷, 就是耶布斯; 那时耶布斯人住在那里.

11:5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not enter here.” But David captured the stronghold of Zion; that is, the city of David.
耶布斯人对大卫说: “你决不能进这地方. ”然而大卫攻取锡安的保障, 就是大卫的城.

11:6 Then David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first will be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first and became chief.
大卫说: “谁先攻打耶布斯人, 必作首领元帅. ”洗鲁雅的儿子约押先上去, 就作了元帅.

11:7 And David lived in the fortress. Therefore they called it the city of David.
大卫住在保障里, 所以那保障叫作大卫城.

11:8 And he built the city all around from the Millo and up to the circuit. And Joab restored the remainder of the city.
大卫又从米罗起, 四围建筑城墙, 其余的是约押修理.

11:9 And David became greater and greater. And Yahweh of hosts was with him.
大卫日见强盛, 因为万军之耶和华与他同在.

11:10 Now these are the chiefs of the mighty men who were for David, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel to make him king according to the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
以下记录跟随大卫勇士的首领, 就是奋勇帮助他得国,照着耶和华吩咐以色列人的话,与以色列人一同立他作王的.

11:11 And this is the numbering of the mighty warriors who were for David: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the three. He himself raised his spear against three hundred whom he killed on one occasion.
大卫勇士的数目记在下面: 哈革摩尼的儿子雅朔班, 他是军长的统领, 一时举枪杀了三百人.

11:12 And after him was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. He was among the three mighty warriors.
其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒, 他是三个勇士里的一个.

11:13 He himself was with David at Pas-Dammim when the Philistines were gathered there for the battle. And there was a plot of the field filled with barley, and the people fled before the Philistines.
他从前与大卫在巴斯‧达闵, 非利士人聚集要打仗. 那里有一块长满大麦的田, 众民就在非利士人面前逃跑;

11:14 But they took their stand in the middle of the plot and defended it. And they killed the Philistines. And Yahweh saved them with a great victory.
这勇士便站在那田间击杀非利士人, 救护了那田. 耶和华使以色列人大获全胜.

11:15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down toward the rock to David at the cave of Adullam when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
三十个勇士中的三个人下到磐石那里, 进了亚杜兰洞见大卫; 非利士的军队在利乏音谷安营.

11:16 And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
那时大卫在山寨, 非利士人的防营在伯利恒.

11:17 And David had a craving, and he said, “Who could give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!”
大卫渴想, 说: “甚愿有人将伯利恒城门旁井里的水打来给我喝! ”

11:18 Then the three broke through into the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and brought it and came to David. But David would not drink it and poured it out before Yahweh.
这三个勇士就闯过非利士人的营盘, 从伯利恒城门旁的井里打水, 拿来奉给大卫. 他却不肯喝, 将水奠在耶和华面前,

11:19 And he said, “Far be it from me that I would do this before my God. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” And he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
说: “我的神啊, 这三个人冒死去打水, 这水好像他们的血一般, 我断不敢喝! ”如此, 大卫不肯喝. 这是三个勇士所做的事.

11:20 Now Abishai the brother of Joab was himself the head of the three. And he roused himself with his spear against three hundred whom he killed and made a name for himself among the three.
约押的兄弟亚比筛是这三个勇士的首领; 他举枪杀了三百人, 就在三个勇士里得了名.

11:21 He was twice as renowned among the three and was their commander. But he did not attain to the three.
他在这三个勇士里是最尊贵的, 所以作他们的首领; 只是不及前三个勇士.

11:22 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a strong man from Kabzeel, one who did great deeds. He himself struck down two sons of Ariel of Moab. And he himself went down and struck down a lion within a pit on a snowy day.
有甲薛勇士耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅行过大能的事: 他杀了摩押人亚利伊勒的两个儿子, 又在下雪的时候下坑里去杀了一个狮子,

11:23 And he himself struck down an Egyptian man, a large man five cubits tall. And in the hand of the Egyptian was a spear like a weaver’s beam. But he went down to him with a club and seized the spear from the hand of the Egyptian and killed him with his own spear.
又杀了一个埃及人. 埃及人身高五肘, 手里拿着枪, 枪杆粗如织布的机轴; 比拿雅只拿着棍子下去, 从埃及人手里夺过枪来, 用那枪将他刺死.

11:24 These things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did and had a name among the three mighty warriors.
这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅所行的事, 就在三个勇士里得了名.

11:25 He himself was certainly distinguished among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David appointed him over his bodyguard.
他比那三十个勇士都尊贵, 只是不及前三个勇士. 大卫立他作护卫长.

大卫出去迎接他们, 对他们说: “你们若是和和平平地来帮助我, 我心就与你们相契; 你们若是将我这无罪的人卖在敌人手里, 愿我们列祖的神察看责罚. ”

12:18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the thirty who said: “We are yours, O David! And we are with you, O son of Jesse! Peace! Peace to you, and peace to those who help you, for your God helps you.” So David appointed them as heads of the troops.

12:19 And some Manassites deserted to David when he came with the Philistines to the battle against Saul, but he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines sent him away upon counsel, saying, “He will desert to his master Saul at the cost of our heads.”
大卫从前与非利士人同去, 要与扫罗争战, 有些玛拿西人来投奔大卫, 他们却没有帮助非利士人; 因为非利士人的首领商议, 打发他们回去, 说: “恐怕大卫拿我们的首级, 归降他的主人扫罗. ”

大卫对以色列全会众说: “你们若以为美, 见这事是出于耶和华─我们的神, 我们就差遣人走遍以色列地, 见我们未来的弟兄, 又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人, 使他们都到这里来聚集.

13:3 Then let us bring around the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.”

14:15 And it shall be that when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out into battle, for God goes out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音, 就要出战, 因为神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队. ”

14:16 And David did as God commanded him, and they struck the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon to Gezer.
大卫就遵著神所吩咐的, 攻打非利士人的军队, 从基遍直到基色.

17:4 “Go and say to David my servant, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You are not to build a house for me to live in,
“你去告诉我仆人大卫, 说耶和华如此说: ‘你不可建造殿宇给我居住.

17:5 for I have not lived in a house from the day that I brought out Israel unto this day. I have been from tent to tent and from tabernacle to tabernacle.
自从我领以色列人出埃及, 直到今日, 我未曾住过殿宇, 乃从这会幕到那会幕, 从这帐幕到那帐幕.

17:6 In every place I have moved about, did I say one word with the judges of Israel I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built for me a house of cedar?’ ” ’
凡我同以色列人所走的地方, 我何曾向以色列的一个士师, 就是我吩咐牧养我民的说: 你为何不给我建造香柏木的殿宇呢? ’

17:7 So now, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be leader over my people Israel,
现在你要告诉我仆人大卫, 说万军之耶和华如此说: ‘我从羊圈中将你召来, 叫你不再跟从羊群, 立你作我民以色列的君.

17:8 and I have been with you wherever you went and have cut down your enemies from before you and will make a name for you, like the name of the great ones on the earth.
你无论往哪里去, 我常与你同在, 剪除你的一切仇敌; 我必使你得大名, 好像世上大大有名的人一样.

17:9 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place and be in anguish no longer. And wicked men will no longer wear them down as before,
我必为我民以色列选定一个地方, 栽培他们, 使他们住自己的地方, 不再迁移; 凶恶之子也不像从前扰害他们,

17:10 from the day that I commanded judges over my people Israel. And I will subdue your enemies, and I declare to you that Yahweh will build for you a house.
并不像我命士师治理我民以色列的时候一样. 我必治服你的一切仇敌, 并且我─耶和华应许你, 必为你建立家室.

17:17 And this was a small matter in your eyes, O God. And you have spoken concerning the house of your servant for a long time and have shown me future generations to come, O Yahweh God.
神啊, 这在你眼中还看为小, 又应许你仆人的家至于久远. 耶和华神啊, 你看顾我好像看顾高贵的人.

耶和华啊, 照我们耳中听见, 没有可比你的, 除你以外再无神.

17:21 And who is like your people Israel, the one nation upon earth whom God went to redeem for himself, to establish for you a reputation for great and awesome things, to drive out nations from before your people whom you redeemed from Egypt?
世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢? 你神从埃及救赎他们作自己的子民, 又在你赎出来的民面前行大而可畏的事, 驱逐列邦人, 显出你的大名.

17:22 And you made your people Israel an everlasting nation for yourself. And you, O Yahweh, became their God.
你使以色列人作你的子民, 直到永远; 你─耶和华也作他们的神.

17:23 So now, O Yahweh, let the word that you spoke to your servant and to his house be established forever, that you might do what you have spoken.
耶和华啊, 你所应许仆人和仆人家的话, 求你坚定, 直到永远, 照你所说的而行.

17:24 And let your name be established and be magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God, and may the house of David your servant be established before you.’
愿你的名永远坚立, 被尊为大, 说: ‘万军之耶和华是以色列的神, 是治理以色列的神. ’这样, 你仆人大卫的家必在你面前坚立.

17:25 For you, my God, have informed your servant that you will build a house for him. Therefore, your servant has found courage to pray before you.
我的神啊, 因你启示仆人说, 我必为你建立家室, 所以仆人大胆在你面前祈祷.

17:26 So now, O Yahweh, you yourself are God, and you have spoken to your servant this good thing.
耶和华啊, 惟有你是神, 你也应许将这福气赐给仆人.

17:27 And now may you begin to bless the house of your servant to continue forever before you, for you, O Yahweh, have blessed. And it will be blessed forever.”
现在你喜悦赐福与仆人的家, 可以永存在你面前. 耶和华啊, 你已经赐福, 还要赐福到永远. ”

于是雇了三万二千辆战车和玛迦王并他的军兵; 他们来安营在米底巴前. 亚扪人也从他们的城里出来, 聚集交战.

19:8 And when David heard, he sent Joab and the entire army of mighty warriors.
大卫听见了, 就差派约押统带勇猛的全军出去.

19:9 And the Ammonites went out and took up positions for battle at the entrance of the city. And the kings who had come were alone in the field.
亚扪人出来在城门前摆阵, 所来的诸王另在郊野摆阵.

19:10 When Joab saw that there was a battle line against him at the front and the back, he chose from among the chosen men in Israel and arranged them to meet Aram.
约押看见敌人在他前后摆阵, 就从以色列军中挑选精兵, 使他们对着亚兰人摆阵;

19:11 And the remainder of the people he put in the hand of Abishai his brother, and they were arranged to meet the Ammonites.
其余的兵交与他兄弟亚比筛, 对着亚扪人摆阵.

19:12 And he said, “If Aram is too strong for me, then you must be a help to me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will help you.
约押对亚比筛说: “亚兰人若强过我, 你就来帮助我; 亚扪人若强过你, 我就去帮助你.

19:13 Be strong! Let us strengthen ourselves on behalf of our people and on behalf of the cities of our God. And may Yahweh do what is good in his eyes.”
我们都当刚强, 为本国的民和神的城邑作大丈夫, 愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行. ”

19:14 And Joab and the people who were with him drew near before Aram for battle, and they fled before him.
于是约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人; 亚兰人在约押面前逃跑.

19:15 And when the Ammonites saw that Aram had fled, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and they came to the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑, 他们也在约押的兄弟亚比筛面前逃跑进城. 约押就回耶路撒冷去了.

19:16 And when Aram saw that they were defeated before Israel, they sent messengers and brought out Aram, who was from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer before them.
亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败, 就打发使者将大河那边的亚兰人调来, 哈大利谢的将军朔法率领他们.

19:17 And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel and crossed the Jordan. And he came to them and was arrayed against them. Then David was arrayed to meet Aram in battle, and they fought with him.
有人告诉大卫, 他就聚集以色列众人过约旦河, 来到亚兰人那里, 迎着他们摆阵. 大卫既摆阵攻击亚兰人, 亚兰人就与他打仗.

19:18 And Aram fled before Israel. And David killed from Aram the men of seven thousand chariots and forty thousand foot soldiers, and he put to death Shophach the commander of the army.
亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑. 大卫杀了亚兰七千辆战车的人, 四万步兵, 又杀了亚兰的将军朔法.

19:19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David and became servants to him. So Aram was no longer willing to help the Ammonites.
属哈大利谢的诸王见自己被以色列人打败, 就与大卫和好, 归服他. 于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了.

I Chronicles - Chapter 20

20:1 And it happened that in the spring time of year, the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led the troops of the army and destroyed the land of the Ammonites. And he came and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.
过了一年, 到列王出战的时候, 约押率领军兵毁坏亚扪人的地, 围攻拉巴; 大卫仍住在耶路撒冷. 约押攻打拉巴, 将城倾覆.

20:2 And David took the crown of their king from his head and found it to weigh a talent of gold. And in it was a precious stone. Then it was placed upon the head of David. And he brought out the booty of the city, a large amount.
大卫夺了亚扪人之王所戴的金冠冕(王: 或译玛勒堪. 玛勒堪即米勒公, 是亚扪族之神名), 其上的金子重一他连得, 又嵌著宝石; 人将这冠冕戴在大卫头上. 大卫从城里夺了许多财物,

20:3 And the people who were in it he brought out, and he set them to work with saws and iron implements and axes. Thus David did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David returned, and all the nation went with him.
将城里的人拉出来, 放在锯下, 或铁耙下, 或铁斧下(或译: 强他们用锯, 或用打粮食的铁器, 或用铁斧做工), 大卫待亚扪各城的居民都是如此. 其后大卫和众军都回耶路撒冷去了.

20:4 And after this there arose a war in Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim. And they were subdued.
后来, 以色列人在基色与非利士人打仗. 户沙人西比该杀了伟人的一个儿子细派, 非利士人就被制伏了.

20:5 And again there was war with the Philistines. And Elhanan son of Jair struck down Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
又与非利士人打仗. 睚珥的儿子伊勒哈难杀了迦特人歌利亚的兄弟拉哈米; 这人的枪杆粗如织布的机轴.

20:6 And again there was war in Gath. And there was a very tall man there, and he had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all. He himself was also a descendant of the Rephaim.
又在迦特打仗. 那里有一个身量高大的人, 手脚都是六指, 共有二十四个指头, 他也是伟人的儿子.

20:7 And he taunted Israel, but Jehonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, struck him down.
这人向以色列人骂阵, 大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单就杀了他.

20:8 These were born to the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
这三个人是迦特伟人的儿子, 都死在大卫和他仆人的手下.

I Chronicles - Chapter 21

21:1 Then Satan stood against Israel and urged David to count Israel.
撒但起来攻击以色列人, 激动大卫数点他们.

21:2 So David said to Joab and to the commanders of the nation, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba to Dan and bring a report to me that I might know their number.”
大卫就吩咐约押和民中的首领说: “你们去数点以色列人, 从别是巴直到但, 回来告诉我, 我好知道他们的数目. ”

21:3 But Joab said, “May Yahweh add to the people a hundred times what they are! Are they not, O my lord the king, all of them the king’s servants? Why does my lord seek this? Why would he bring guilt to Israel?”
约押说: “愿耶和华使他的百姓比现在加增百倍. 我主我王啊, 他们不都是你的仆人吗? 我主为何吩咐行这事, 为何使以色列人陷在罪里呢? ”

21:4 But the word of the king prevailed over Joab. Then he went about through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
但王的命令胜过约押. 约押就出去, 走遍以色列地, 回到耶路撒冷,

21:5 And Joab gave the number of the enrollment of the people to David. And it happened that all Israel was one million one hundred thousand men drawing a sword, and in Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men drawing a sword.
将百姓的总数奏告大卫: 以色列人拿刀的有一百一十万; 犹大人拿刀的有四十七万.

21:6 But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the word of the king was repulsive to Joab.
惟有利未人和便雅悯人没有数在其中, 因为约押厌恶王的这命令.

21:7 But this word was displeasing in the eyes of God, and he struck Israel.
神不喜悦这数点百姓的事, 便降灾给以色列人.

21:8 Then David said to God, “I have sinned severely in that I have done this thing. But now, please forgive the sin of your servant, for I have been very foolish.”
大卫祷告神说: “我行这事大有罪了! 现在求你除掉仆人的罪孽, 因我所行的甚是愚昧. ”

21:9 Then Yahweh spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying,
耶和华吩咐大卫的先见迦得说:

21:10 “Go, you must speak to David, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Three choices I offer to you. Choose one of them for yourself that I will do to you.” ’ ”
“你去告诉大卫说, 耶和华如此说: 我有三样灾, 随你选择一样, 我好降与你. ”

21:11 So Gad came to David and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Choose for yourself:
于是, 迦得来见大卫, 对他说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你可以随意选择:

21:12 whether three years of famine or three months of devastation by your enemies while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or three days of the sword of Yahweh, with disease in the land and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the territory in Israel.’ So now, see what word I should return to my sender.”
或三年的饥荒; 或败在你敌人面前, 被敌人的刀追杀三个月; 或在你国中有耶和华的刀, 就是三日的瘟疫, 耶和华的使者在以色列的四境施行毁灭. ’现在你要想一想, 我好回覆那差我来的. ”

21:13 Then David said to Gad, “I am very troubled. Let me into the hand of Yahweh, for his compassion is very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of a man.”
大卫对迦得说: “我甚为难. 我愿落在耶和华的手里, 因为他有丰盛的怜悯; 我不愿落在人的手里. ”

21:14 So Yahweh sent a pestilence through Israel, and seventy thousand men from Israel fell.
于是, 耶和华降瘟疫与以色列人, 以色列人就死了七万.

21:15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he was about to destroy it, Yahweh saw and was grieved on account of the calamity. Then he said to the angel, the destroyer, “It is enough; slacken your hand.” And the angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
神差遣使者去灭耶路撒冷, 刚要灭的时候, 耶和华看见后悔, 就不降这灾了, 吩咐灭城的天使说: “够了, 住手吧! ”那时, 耶和华的使者站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场那里.

21:16 And David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and heaven, with his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
大卫举目, 看见耶和华的使者站在天地间, 手里有拔出来的刀, 伸在耶路撒冷以上. 大卫和长老都身穿麻衣, 面伏于地.

21:17 Then David said to God, “Was it not I who gave a command to count the people? Now I am he who has sinned, and I have certainly done wickedness, but these sheep, what have they done? O Yahweh, my God, please let your hand be against me and against the house of my father, but against your people, let there be no plague.”
大卫祷告神说: “吩咐数点百姓的不是我吗? 我犯了罪, 行了恶, 但这群羊做了甚么呢? 愿耶和华─我神的手攻击我和我的父家, 不要攻击你的民, 降瘟疫与他们. ”

21:18 Now the angel of Yahweh had spoken to Gad to say to David that David should go up and erect an altar for Yahweh.
耶和华的使者吩咐迦得去告诉大卫, 叫他上去, 在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛;

21:19 So David went up at the word of Gad that he had spoken in the name of Yahweh.
大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华名所说的话上去了.

21:20 Now Ornan was threshing wheat, and Ornan turned and saw the angel, and his four sons with him hid themselves.
那时阿珥楠正打麦子, 回头看见天使, 就和他四个儿子都藏起来了.

21:21 Then David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and they bowed down to David, faces to the ground.
大卫到了阿珥楠那里, 阿珥楠看见大卫, 就从禾场上出去, 脸伏于地, 向他下拜.

21:22 Then David said to Ornan, “Please give me the place, the threshing floor, that I might build an altar on it to Yahweh; at full price please give it to me, that the plague against the people might be stopped.”
大卫对阿珥楠说: “你将这禾场与相连之地卖给我, 我必给你足价, 我好在其上为耶和华筑一座坛, 使民间的瘟疫止住. ”

21:23 And Ornan said to David, “Take it to yourself; let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. See, I give the cattle for the burnt offerings and threshing sledges for the wood and wheat for the grain offering—I give it all.”
阿珥楠对大卫说: “你可以用这禾场, 愿我主我王照你所喜悦的去行. 我也将牛给你作燔祭, 把打粮的器具当柴烧, 拿麦子作素祭. 这些我都送给你. ”

21:24 But King David said to Ornan, “No, for I will certainly buy it at full value; indeed, I will not take what is yours for Yahweh and offer burnt offerings for nothing.”
大卫王对阿珥楠说: “不然! 我必要用足价向你买. 我不用你的物献给耶和华, 也不用白得之物献为燔祭. ”

21:25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
于是大卫为那块地平了六百舍客勒金子给阿珥楠.

21:26 Then David built an altar there to Yahweh, and he offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and he called to Yahweh. And he answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.
大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛, 献燔祭和平安祭, 求告耶和华. 耶和华就应允他, 使火从天降在燔祭坛上.

21:27 Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
耶和华吩咐使者, 他就收刀入鞘.

21:28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.
那时, 大卫见耶和华在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上应允了他, 就在那里献祭.

21:29 Now the tabernacle of Yahweh that Moses had made in the desert and the altar of burnt offering were at that time at the high place of Gibeon.
摩西在旷野所造之耶和华的帐幕和燔祭坛都在基遍的高处;

21:30 But David was not able to go before it to seek God, for he was afraid on account of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
只是大卫不敢前去求问神, 因为惧怕耶和华使者的刀.

I Chronicles - Chapter 22

22:1 Then David said, “This will be the house of Yahweh God, and this altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
大卫说: “这就是耶和华神的殿, 为以色列人献燔祭的坛. ”

22:2 And David commanded to assemble the resident aliens who were in the land of Israel and appointed stone craftsmen to cut dressed stones to build the house of God.
大卫吩咐聚集住以色列地的外邦人, 从其中派石匠凿石头, 要建造神的殿.

22:3 And David provided much iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for the seams, and abundant copper that could not be weighed,
大卫预备许多铁做门上的钉子和钩子, 又预备许多铜, 多得无法可称;

22:4 and cedar timbers without number, for the Sidonians and Tyrians brought abundant cedars to David.
又预备无数的香柏木, 因为西顿人和泰尔人给大卫运了许多香柏木来.

22:5 Then David said, “Solomon my son is a boy and inexperienced, and the house built for Yahweh must be exceedingly great in fame and splendor throughout every land. I will make preparations for him.” So David provided abundant materials before he died.
大卫说: “我儿子所罗门还年幼娇嫩, 要为耶和华建造的殿宇必须高大辉煌, 使名誉荣耀传遍万国; 所以我要为殿预备材料. ”于是, 大卫在未死之先预备的材料甚多.

22:6 Then he called to Solomon his son and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel.
大卫召了他儿子所罗门来, 嘱咐他给耶和华─以色列的神建造殿宇,

22:7 And David said to Solomon his son, “I myself had in my heart to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God,
对所罗门说: “我儿啊, 我心里本想为耶和华─我神的名建造殿宇,

22:8 but it happened that the word of Yahweh came over me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have made much war; you shall not build a house for my name because you have shed much blood upon the ground before me.
只是耶和华的话临到我说: ‘你流了多人的血, 打了多次大仗, 你不可为我的名建造殿宇, 因为你在我眼前使多人的血流在地上.

22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to you; he himself will be a man of rest, and I will give rest to him from all his enemies all around, for his name will be Solomon, and peace and quietness I will give to Israel in his days.
你要生一个儿子, 他必作太平的人; 我必使他安静, 不被四围的仇敌扰乱. 他的名要叫所罗门(就是太平的意思). 他在位的日子, 我必使以色列人平安康泰.

22:10 He himself will build a house for my name, and he himself will be to me a son, and I will be to him as a father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
他必为我的名建造殿宇. 他要作我的子; 我要作他的父. 他作以色列王; 我必坚定他的国位, 直到永远. ’

22:11 Now, my son, Yahweh will be with you, that you may succeed and build the house of Yahweh your God as he has spoken concerning you.
我儿啊, 现今愿耶和华与你同在, 使你亨通, 照他指着你说的话, 建造耶和华─你神的殿.

22:12 Only may Yahweh give to you understanding and insight that he might give you charge over Israel and the keeping of the law of Yahweh your God.
但愿耶和华赐你聪明智慧, 好治理以色列国, 遵行耶和华─你神的律法.

22:13 Then you will prosper if you take care to do the statutes and judgments which Yahweh commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and be courageous; fear not and do not be dismayed.
你若谨守遵行耶和华藉摩西吩咐以色列的律例典章, 就得亨通. 你当刚强壮胆, 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶.

22:14 Now see, with great effort I have made provision for the house of Yahweh: 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron that cannot be weighed, for there is an abundance. Also timber and stone I have provided, but to these you should add.
我在困难之中为耶和华的殿预备了金子十万他连得, 银子一百万他连得, 铜和铁多得无法可称; 我也预备了木头,石头, 你还可以增添.

22:15 And with you there is an abundance of craftsmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and everyone skilled in every kind of craftsmanship
你有许多匠人, 就是石匠,木匠, 和一切能做各样工的巧匠,

22:16 with gold, silver, bronze, and iron without number. Arise and work! Yahweh will be with you!”
并有无数的金银铜铁. 你当起来办事, 愿耶和华与你同在. ”

22:17 And David commanded all the commanders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
大卫又吩咐以色列的众首领帮助他儿子所罗门, 说:

22:18 “Is not Yahweh your God with you? And has he not given you rest all around? For he has put in my hand the inhabitants of the land, and the land is subdued before Yahweh and before his people.
“耶和华─你们的神不是与你们同在吗? 不是叫你们四围都平安吗? 因他已将这地的居民交在我手中, 这地就在耶和华与他百姓面前制伏了.

22:19 Now set your heart and mind to seek Yahweh your Go, and arise and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, that the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the holy vessels of God might be brought into the house built for the name of Yahweh.
现在你们应当立定心意, 寻求耶和华─你们的神; 也当起来建造耶和华神的圣所, 好将耶和华的约柜和供奉神的圣器皿都搬进为耶和华名建造的殿里.

I Chronicles - Chapter 23

23:1 Now David was old and full of days. And he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
大卫年纪老迈, 日子满足, 就立他儿子所罗门作以色列的王.

23:2 And he assembled all the commanders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.
大卫招聚以色列的众首领和祭司利未人.

23:3 And the Levites thirty years old and above were counted, and their number according to their head count for the men was thirty-eight thousand.
利未人从三十岁以外的都被数点, 他们男丁的数目共有三万八千;

23:4 Of these, David said, “Twenty-four thousand are to direct the work of the house of Yahweh, along with six thousand judges and officials,
其中有二万四千人管理耶和华殿的事, 有六千人作官长和士师,

23:5 four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand offering praise with the instruments that I have made for praise.”
有四千人作守门的, 又有四千人用大卫所做的乐器颂赞耶和华.

23:6 And David organized them in divisions according to the sons of Levi: to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
大卫将利未人革顺,哥辖,米拉利的子孙分了班次.

23:7 For the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei.

23:8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief and Zetham and Joel, three.
拉但的长子是耶歇, 还有细坦和约珥, 共三人.

23:10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.
示每的儿子是雅哈,细拿,耶乌施,比利亚共四人.

23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons. They were enrolled as one for the house of a father.
雅哈是长子, 细撒是次子. 但耶乌施和比利亚的子孙不多, 所以算为一族.

23:12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
哥辖的儿子是暗兰,以斯哈,希伯伦,乌薛共四人.

23:13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to consecrate the most holy things. He and his sons were to burn offerings forever before Yahweh to serve him and to bless in his name forever.
暗兰的儿子是亚伦,摩西. 亚伦和他的子孙分出来, 好分别至圣的物, 在耶和华面前烧香,事奉他, 奉他的名祝福, 直到永远.

23:14 But Moses the man of God and his sons were reckoned among the tribe of Levi.
至于神人摩西, 他的子孙名字记在利未支派的册上.

23:21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
米拉利的儿子是抹利,母示. 抹利的儿子是以利亚撒,基士.

23:22 And Eleazar died, and he did not have sons, but only daughters. And the sons of Kish, their relatives, married them.

23:23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
母示的儿子是末力,以得,耶利摩共三人.

23:24 These were the sons of Levi according to the house of their fathers, the heads of the families, according to their enrollment, by the number of the names, according to their head count, who were to do the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, from twenty years old and above.
以上利未子孙作族长的, 照着男丁的数目, 从二十岁以外, 都办耶和华殿的事务.

23:25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
大卫说: “耶和华─以色列的神已经使他的百姓平安, 他永远住在耶路撒冷.

23:26 And also, the Levites do not need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
利未人不必再抬帐幕和其中所用的一切器皿了. ”

23:27 For by the last words of David, they are the number of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and above.
照着大卫临终所吩咐的, 利未人从二十岁以外的都被数点.

23:28 For their station was to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the house of Yahweh, over the courtyards, over the chambers, and over the cleansing of all the sanctified objects, and with the work of the service of the house of God,
他们的职任是服事亚伦的子孙, 在耶和华的殿和院子, 并屋中办事, 洁净一切圣物, 就是办神殿的事务,

23:29 and with the rows of bread, the flour, the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baked offering, the offering mixed with oil, and for all the amounts and measurements.
并管理陈设饼, 素祭的细面, 或无酵薄饼, 或用盘烤, 或用油调和的物, 又管理各样的升斗尺度;

23:30 And they were to stand every morning, thanking and praising Yahweh, and likewise in the evening,
每日早晚, 站立称谢赞美耶和华,

23:31 and for every burnt offering offered to Yahweh, on Sabbaths, on new moon festivals, and at the appointed feasts, according to the customary number required of them, regularly before Yahweh.
又在安息日,月朔, 并节期, 按数照例, 将燔祭常常献给耶和华;

23:32 And they shall keep the responsibility of the tent of assembly, the responsibility of the sanctified objects, and the responsibility of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, to serve the house of Yahweh.
又看守会幕和圣所, 并守耶和华吩咐他们弟兄亚伦子孙的, 办耶和华殿的事.

I Chronicles - Chapter 24

24:1 And as for the sons of Aaron, these were their divisions. The sons of Aaron were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
亚伦子孙的班次记在下面: 亚伦的儿子是拿答,亚比户,以利亚撒,以他玛.

24:2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
拿答,亚比户死在他们父亲之先, 没有留下儿子; 故此, 以利亚撒,以他玛供祭司的职分.

24:3 And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their appointments for their service.
以利亚撒的子孙撒督和以他玛的子孙亚希米勒, 同著大卫将他们的族弟兄分成班次.

24:4 And more sons of Eleazar were found as heads of the men than the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them to the sons of Eleazar to be sixteen heads over the house of the fathers, and to the sons of Ithamar over the house of the fathers were eight heads.
以利亚撒子孙中为首的比以他玛子孙中为首的更多, 分班如下: 以利亚撒的子孙中有十六个族长, 以他玛的子孙中有八个族长;

28:2 And King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I myself wanted to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build.
大卫王就站起来, 说: “我的弟兄, 我的百姓啊, 你们当听我言, 我心里本想建造殿宇, 安放耶和华的约柜, 作为我神的脚凳; 我已经预备建造的材料.

28:3 But God said to me, ‘You may not build a house for my name because you are a man of war, and you have shed blood.’
只是神对我说: ‘你不可为我的名建造殿宇; 因你是战士, 流了人的血. ’

28:4 But Yahweh the God of Israel chose me from all of the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to reign over all Israel.
然而, 耶和华─以色列的神在我父的全家拣选我作以色列的王, 直到永远. 因他拣选犹大为首领; 在犹大支派中拣选我父家, 在我父的众子里喜悦我, 立我作以色列众人的王.

28:5 And from all my sons—for Yahweh has given many sons to me—he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Yahweh over Israel.
耶和华赐我许多儿子, 在我儿子中拣选所罗门坐耶和华的国位, 治理以色列人.

28:6 And he said to me, ‘Solomon your son, he himself shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him as a son to myself, and I myself will be as a father to him,
耶和华对我说: ‘你儿子所罗门必建造我的殿和院宇; 因为我拣选他作我的子, 我也必作他的父.

28:7 and I will establish his kingdom forever if he firmly performs my commandments and my judgments as he has to this day.’
他若恒久遵行我的诫命典章如今日一样, 我就必坚定他的国位, 直到永远. ’

28:8 So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek all the commandments of Yahweh your God so that you may take possession of this good land and bestow it as an inheritance to your children after you forever.”
现今在耶和华的会中, 以色列众人眼前所说的, 我们的神也听见了. 你们应当寻求耶和华─你们神的一切诫命, 谨守遵行, 如此你们可以承受这美地, 遗留给你们的子孙, 永远为业.

28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and a willing mind, for Yahweh searches all hearts and understands every plan and all thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever.
“我儿所罗门哪, 你当认识耶和华─你父的神, 诚心乐意地事奉他; 因为他鉴察众人的心, 知道一切心思意念. 你若寻求他, 他必使你寻见; 你若离弃他, 他必永远丢弃你.

28:10 Look now, for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it!”
你当谨慎, 因耶和华拣选你建造殿宇作为圣所. 你当刚强去行. ”

28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, its inner chambers, and of the house of the lid of the ark,
大卫将殿的游廊,旁屋,府库,楼房,内殿, 和施恩所的样式指示他儿子所罗门,

28:12 and the plan of all that he had in mind for the courtyards of the house of Yahweh and for all the surrounding storage rooms, the treasuries of the house of God, and the treasuries for sanctified objects,
又将被灵感动所得的样式, 就是耶和华神殿的院子,周围的房屋,殿的府库, 和圣物府库的一切样式都指示他;

28:13 and for the working groups of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the vessels for the service of the house of Yahweh,
又指示他祭司和利未人的班次与耶和华殿里各样的工作, 并耶和华殿里一切器皿的样式,

28:14 and for the gold, according to the weight of the gold for all the vessels of the service, and the service of all the vessels of silver according to the weight of all the vessels for every kind of service.
以及各样应用金器的分两和各样应用银器的分两,

28:15 And the weight of the golden lampstands and the golden lamps, the weight of each lampstand and each lamp, and the silver according to the weight of a lampstand and its lamp, according to the use of each lampstand,
金灯台和金灯的分两, 银灯台和银灯的分两, 轻重各都合宜;

28:16 and the weight of gold for the tables of the arranged bread, each table, and silver for the tables of silver,
陈设饼金桌子的分两, 银桌子的分两,

28:17 and pure gold for the three-pronged meat forks, and the bowls and the pitchers, and for the golden bowls, by weight for each bowl, and for the silver bowls, by weight for each bowl,
精金的肉叉子,盘子, 和爵的分两, 各金碗与各银碗的分两,

28:18 and for the altar of incense made of refined gold, by weight, and gold for the plan for the chariot—the cherubim with outspread and covering wings over the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
精金香坛的分两, 并用金子做基路伯(原文是用金子做车式的基路伯); 基路伯张开翅膀, 遮掩耶和华的约柜.

28:19 “All this I give you in writing; from the hand of Yahweh he instructed me about all the workings of this plan.”
大卫说: “这一切工作的样式都是耶和华用手划出来使我明白的. ”

28:20 Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do this! Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for Yahweh God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you and will not forsake you until all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.
大卫又对他儿子所罗门说: “你当刚强壮胆去行! 不要惧怕, 也不要惊惶. 因为耶和华神就是我的神, 与你同在; 他必不撇下你, 也不丢弃你, 直到耶和华殿的工作都完毕了.

28:21 And behold, the working groups of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all the work for all those willing with the skill for every service, and the commanders and all the people for all your commands.”
有祭司和利未人的各班, 为要办理神殿各样的事, 又有灵巧的人在各样的工作上乐意帮助你; 并有众首领和众民一心听从你的命令. ”

I Chronicles - Chapter 29

29:1 Then David the king said to all the assembly, “God has chosen Solomon my son alone, a young man and inexperienced, and the work is great, for the citadel is not for humankind, but for Yahweh God.
大卫王对会众说: “我儿子所罗门是神特选的, 还年幼娇嫩; 这工程甚大, 因这殿不是为人, 乃是为耶和华神建造的.

29:2 So I have provided for the house of my God according to all my strength, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood, along with an abundance of onyx stones, stones for settings, stones of turquoise, and variegated stones, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster stones.
我为我神的殿已经尽力, 预备金子做金器, 银子做银器, 铜做铜器, 铁做铁器, 木做木器, 还有红玛瑙可镶嵌的宝石, 彩石和一切的宝石, 并许多汉白玉.

29:3 And moreover, with respect to my provisions for the house of my God I have a treasure of gold and silver that I have given to the house of my God above all that I have provided for the holy house:
且因我心中爱慕我神的殿, 就在预备建造圣殿的材料之外, 又将我自己积蓄的金银献上, 建造我神的殿,

29:4 three thousand talents of gold from the gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of refined silver to overlay the walls of the houses,
就是俄斐金三千他连得,精炼的银子七千他连得, 以贴殿墙.

29:5 gold for the golden things and silver for the silver things, for all the work by the hand of skilled craftsmen. Now who will offer willingly, consecrating himself today to Yahweh?”
金子做金器, 银子做银器, 并藉匠人的手制造一切. 今日有谁乐意将自己献给耶和华呢? ”

29:6 Then the commanders of the families, the commanders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the work of the king offered themselves willingly.
于是, 众族长和以色列各支派的首领,千夫长,百夫长, 并监管王工的官长, 都乐意献上.

29:7 And they gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
他们为神殿的使用献上金子五千他连得零一万达利克, 银子一万他连得, 铜一万八千他连得, 铁十万他连得.

29:8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of Yahweh under the authority of Jehiel the Gershonite.
凡有宝石的都交给革顺人耶歇, 送入耶和华殿的府库.

29:9 And the people rejoiced over their freewill offering, for with a whole heart they had willingly offered to Yahweh, and King David also rejoiced with great joy.
因这些人诚心乐意献给耶和华, 百姓就欢喜, 大卫王也大大欢喜.

29:10 Then David blessed Yahweh in the sight of all the assembly, and David said, “Blessed are you, O Yahweh, God of Israel, our father forever and ever!
所以, 大卫在会众面前称颂耶和华说: “耶和华─我们的父, 以色列的神是应当称颂, 直到永永远远的!

29:11 To you, O Yahweh, is the greatness and the power and the splendor and the glory and the strength, for everything in the heavens and in the earth. Yours, O Yahweh, is the kingdom and exaltation over all as head!
耶和华啊, 尊大,能力,荣耀,强胜,威严都是你的; 凡天上地下的都是你的; 国度也是你的, 并且你为至高, 为万有之首.

29:12 And wealth and glory are from you, and you rule over all. And in your hand is power and might. And in your hand is power to make great and to give strength to all.
丰富尊荣都从你而来, 你也治理万物. 在你手里有大能大力, 使人尊大强盛都出于你.

29:13 And now, our God, we give thanks to you and offer praise to the name of your splendor.
我们的神啊, 现在我们称谢你, 赞美你荣耀之名!

29:14 And indeed, who am I, and who are my people that we retain power to offer according to these offerings willingly? For everything is from you, and from your hand we have given to you.
“我算甚么, 我的民算甚么, 竟能如此乐意奉献? 因为万物都从你而来, 我们把从你而得的献给你.

29:15 For we are strangers before you and sojourners like all our ancestors. Our days are like the shadow upon earth, and there is no hope of abiding.
我们在你面前是客旅, 是寄居的, 与我们列祖一样. 我们在世的日子如影儿, 不能长存(或译: 没有长存的指望).

29:16 O Yahweh our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build for you a house for your holy name is from your hand, and all of it is yours.
耶和华─我们的神啊, 我们预备这许多材料, 要为你的圣名建造殿宇, 都是从你而来, 都是属你的.

29:17 And I know, my God, that you yourself test the heart and are pleased with uprightness. I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, and now I have seen your people who are found here willingly offer to you.
我的神啊, 我知道你察验人心, 喜悦正直; 我以正直的心乐意献上这一切物. 现在我喜欢见你的民在这里都乐意奉献与你.

29:18 O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep this forever as a plan and thoughts of the heart of your people, and establish their heart toward you.
耶和华─我们列祖亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神啊, 求你使你的民常存这样的心思意念, 坚定他们的心归向你,

29:19 Grant to Solomon my son a heart of peace to keep your commands, your statutes, and your regulations to do everything, and to build the citadel for which I have provided.”
又求你赐我儿子所罗门诚实的心, 遵守你的命令,法度,律例, 成就这一切的事, 用我所预备的建造殿宇. ”

29:20 And David said to all the assembly, “Bless Yahweh your God!” And all the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. And they bowed down and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.
大卫对全会众说: “你们应当称颂耶和华─你们的神. ”于是会众称颂耶和华─他们列祖的神, 低头拜耶和华与王.

29:21 And they offered sacrifices to Yahweh, and on that next day they offered burnt offerings to Yahweh: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
次日, 他们向耶和华献平安祭和燔祭, 就是献公牛一千只, 公绵羊一千只, 羊羔一千只, 并同献的奠祭; 又为以色列众人献许多的祭. 那日, 他们在耶和华面前吃喝, 大大欢乐.

29:22 And they ate and drank before Yahweh on that day with great joy. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him commander for Yahweh, and Zadok the priest.
他们奉耶和华的命再膏大卫的儿子所罗门作王, 又膏撒督作祭司.

29:23 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of Yahweh as king in place of David his father. And he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
于是所罗门坐在耶和华所赐的位上, 接续他父亲大卫作王, 万事亨通; 以色列众人也都听从他.

29:24 And all the officials and mighty warriors, and also all the sons of King David, pledged allegiance to King Solomon.
众首领和勇士, 并大卫王的众子, 都顺服所罗门王.

29:25 And Yahweh made Solomon exceedingly great in the sight of all Israel, and he bestowed upon him royal splendor that was not bestowed upon any king before him in Israel.
耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人眼前甚为尊大, 极其威严, 胜过在他以前的以色列王.

29:26 And David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
耶西的儿子大卫作以色列众人的王,

29:27 And the days that he reigned over Israel were forty years. In Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.
作王共四十年: 在希伯仑作王七年, 在耶路撒冷作王三十三年.

29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, wealth, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his place.
他年纪老迈, 日子满足, 享受丰富,尊荣, 就死了. 他儿子所罗门接续他作王.

29:29 Now the words of King David, from the first to the last, see, they are written among the words of Samuel the seer, and among the words of Nathan the prophet, and among the words of Gad the seer,
大卫王始终的事都写在先见撒母耳的书上和先知拿单并先见迦得的书上.

29:30 with all the accounts of his kingdom, his power, and the times that came upon him, and upon Israel, and upon all the kingdoms of the earth.
他的国事和他的勇力, 以及他和以色列并列国所经过的事都写在这书上.

II Chronicles (历代志下)

II Chronicles - Chapter 1

1:1 And Solomon the son of David strengthened himself concerning his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.
大卫的儿子所罗门国位坚固; 耶和华─他的神与他同在, 使他甚为尊大.

1:2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the leaders for all Israel, the heads of the families.
所罗门吩咐以色列众人, 就是千夫长,百夫长,审判官,首领与族长都来.

1:3 And Solomon and the whole assembly with him went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for the tent of assembly of God that Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the desert was there.
所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去, 因那里有神的会幕, 就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的.

1:4 (But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for David had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.)
只是神的约柜, 大卫已经从基列‧耶琳搬到他所预备的地方, 因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕,

1:5 And the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh. And Solomon and the assembly sought it out.
并且户珥的孙子,乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前. 所罗门和会众都就近坛前.

1:6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of assembly, and he offered upon it a thousand burnt offerings.
所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里, 献一千牺牲为燔祭.

1:7 On that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give to you.”
当夜, 神向所罗门显现, 对他说: “你愿我赐你甚么, 你可以求. ”

1:8 Then Solomon said to God, “You yourself have shown steadfast loyal love to David my father and have made me king in his place.
所罗门对神说: “你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱, 使我接续他作王.

1:9 Now, O Yahweh God, let your word to David my father be fulfilled, for you yourself have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
耶和华神啊, 现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话; 因你立我作这民的王, 他们如同地上尘沙那样多.

1:10 Now, give to me wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can judge this, your great people?”
求你赐我智慧聪明, 我好在这民前出入; 不然, 谁能判断这众多的民呢? ”

1:11 Then God said to Solomon, “Because this was with your heart and you did not ask for wealth, possessions, honor, and the lives of your enemies, and also did not ask for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge that you might judge my people over whom I have made you king,
神对所罗门说: “我已立你作我民的王. 你既有这心意, 并不求资财,丰富,尊荣, 也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命, 又不求大寿数, 只求智慧聪明好判断我的民;

1:12 wisdom and knowledge is given to you. And I will also give to you wealth, possessions, and honor, the like of which was not had by the kings who were before you, nor will there be the like after you.”
我必赐你智慧聪明, 也必赐你资财,丰富,尊荣. 在你以前的列王都没有这样, 在你以后也必没有这样的. ”

1:13 So Solomon went from the high place which was at Gibeon to Jerusalem before the tent of assembly. And he reigned over Israel.
于是, 所罗门从基遍邱坛会幕前回到耶路撒冷, 治理以色列人.

1:14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门聚集战车马兵, 有战车一千四百辆, 马兵一万二千名, 安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷, 就是王那里.

1:15 And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem like the stones. And he made cedar as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that were in the Shephelah.
王在耶路撒冷使金银多如石头, 香柏木多如高原的桑树.

1:16 And Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue. The traders of the king received them from Kue at a price.
所罗门的马是从埃及带来的, 是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的.

1:17 They went up and exported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels. And these were likewise exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
他们从埃及买来的车, 每辆价银六百舍客勒, 马每匹一百五十舍客勒. 赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马, 也是按这价值经他们手买来的.

II Chronicles - Chapter 2

2:1 And Solomon planned to build a house for the name of Yahweh and a royal palace for himself.
所罗门定意要为耶和华的名建造殿宇, 又为自己的国建造宫室.

2:2 And Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to bear burdens and eighty thousand quarriers in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred men to supervise them.
所罗门就挑选七万扛抬的, 八万在山上凿石头的, 三千六百督工的.

2:3 And Solomon sent word to Huram king of Tyre, saying, “As you have dealt with David my father and sent cedar to him to build for himself a house in which to live, please deal with me.
所罗门差人去见泰尔王希兰, 说: “你曾运香柏木与我父大卫建宫居住, 求你也这样待我.

2:4 Look, I am building a house for the name of Yahweh my God to dedicate to him, to offer sweet spices of incense before him, and for the regular rows of bread, and burnt offerings for mornings, evenings, Sabbaths, and new moon festivals, and for appointed feasts of Yahweh our God which are everlasting for Israel.
我要为耶和华─我神的名建造殿宇, 分别为圣献给他, 在他面前焚烧美香, 常摆陈设饼, 每早晚,安息日,月朔, 并耶和华─我们神所定的节期献燔祭. 这是以色列人永远的定例.

2:5 And the house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
我所要建造的殿宇甚大; 因为我们的神至大, 超乎诸神.

2:6 Now who indeed has adequate strength to build a house for him? For the heavens and the highest heavens are not able to contain him. Now who am I that I would build a house for him, except to burn incense before him?
天和天上的天, 尚且不足他居住的, 谁能为他建造殿宇呢? 我是谁? 能为他建造殿宇吗? 不过在他面前烧香而已.

2:7 So then, send to me skilled men to work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue fabric, knowledgeable in engraving, with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father has established.
现在求你差一个巧匠来, 就是善用金,银,铜,铁, 和紫色,朱红色,蓝色线, 并精于雕刻之工的巧匠, 与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一同做工;

2:8 Send me trees of cedar, cypress, and algum from Lebanon, for I myself know that your servants are knowledgeable in cutting the trees of Lebanon. Now see, my servants will be with your servants
又求你从黎巴嫩运些香柏木,松木,檀香木到我这里来, 因我知道你的仆人善于砍伐黎巴嫩的树木. 我的仆人也必与你的仆人同工.

2:9 to prepare trees in abundance for me, for the house that I am building will be great and wonderful.
这样, 可以给我预备许多的木料, 因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇.

2:10 Now see, I will provide twenty thousand dry measures of crushed wheat, twenty thousand dry measures of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil to the woodcarvers and those who cut timber.”
你的仆人砍伐树木, 我必给他们打好了的小麦二万歌珥, 大麦二万歌珥, 酒二万罢特, 油二万罢特. ”

2:11 Then Huram king of Tyre answered in a letter, and he sent word to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
泰尔王希兰写信回答所罗门说: “耶和华因为爱他的子民, 所以立你作他们的王”;

2:12 Then Huram said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who has made the heavens and the earth, who has given to King David a wise son knowing discretion and understanding, who will build for Yahweh a house and a royal palace for himself.
又说: “创造天地的耶和华─以色列的神是应当称颂的! 他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子, 使他有谋略聪明, 可以为耶和华建造殿宇, 又为自己的国建造宫室.

2:13 So now I have sent a skilled man, knowledgeable and with understanding: my master Huram,
“现在我打发一个精巧有聪明的人去, 他是我父亲希兰所用的,

2:14 a son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, knowledgeable for working with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and with purple, blue, and crimson fabric, and with fine linen, for engraving any engraving and devising any plan that is given to him, with your skilled men and the skilled men of my lord David your father.
是但支派一个妇人的儿子. 他父亲是泰尔人, 他善用金,银,铜,铁,石,木, 和紫色,蓝色,朱红色线与细麻制造各物, 并精于雕刻, 又能想出各样的巧工. 请你派定这人, 与你的巧匠和你父─我主大卫的巧匠一同做工.

2:15 Now as for the wheat, barley, oil, and wine that my lord mentioned, let him send that to his servants.
我主所说的小麦,大麦,酒,油, 愿我主运来给众仆人.

2:16 And we ourselves will cut trees from Lebanon according to all your need, and we will bring them to you on rafts over the sea to Joppa, so that you may bring them up to Jerusalem.”
我们必照你所需用的, 从黎巴嫩砍伐树木, 扎成筏子, 浮海运到约帕; 你可以从那里运到耶路撒冷. ”

2:17 Then Solomon counted all the resident alien men who were in the land of Israel after the census that David his father had taken of them. And there were found one hundred and fifty-three thousand.
所罗门仿照他父大卫数点住在以色列地所有寄居的外邦人, 共有十五万三千六百名;

2:18 And he appointed from them seventy thousand to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.
使七万人扛抬材料, 八万人在山上凿石头, 三千六百人督理工作.

II Chronicles - Chapter 3

3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem, on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had established, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
所罗门就在耶路撒冷,耶和华向他父大卫显现的摩利亚山上, 就是耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上,大卫所指定的地方预备好了, 开工建造耶和华的殿.

3:2 And he began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.
所罗门作王第四年二月初二日开工建造.

3:3 Now these were the measurements of Solomon for building the house of God: the length in cubits by the former measurement was sixty cubits, and the width was twenty cubits.
所罗门建筑神殿的根基, 乃是这样: 长六十肘, 宽二十肘, 都按著古时的尺寸.

3:4 The length of the portico that was in front was the same as the front of the width of the house: twenty cubits. And its height was one hundred and twenty cubits. And he overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.
殿前的廊子长二十肘, 与殿的宽窄一样, 高一百二十肘; 里面贴上精金.

3:5 And the great house itself he covered with cypress wood, then he overlaid it with pure gold. And he put on it palm tree images and ornate chains.
大殿的墙都用松木板遮蔽, 又贴了精金, 上面雕刻棕树和链子;

3:6 Then he overlaid the house with precious stone as decoration. (Now the gold was the gold of Parvaim.)
又用宝石装饰殿墙, 使殿华美; 所用的金子都是巴瓦音的金子.

3:7 And he overlaid the house with gold—the beams, the thresholds, the walls, and the doors. And he carved cherubim upon the walls.
又用金子贴殿和殿的栋梁,门槛,墙壁,门扇; 墙上雕刻基路伯.

3:8 Then he made the most holy place. Its length was equal to the width of the house: twenty cubits. And its breadth was twenty cubits. And he overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold.
又建造至圣所, 长二十肘, 与殿的宽窄一样, 宽也是二十肘; 贴上精金, 共用金子六百他连得.

3:9 And the weight for the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid its upper rooms with gold.
金钉重五十舍客勒. 楼房都贴上金子.

3:10 And he made two sculpted wood cherubim in the most holy place, and he overlaid them with gold.
在至圣所按造像的法子造两个基路伯, 用金子包裹.

3:11 The length of the outstretched wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits; one wing of five cubits touched the wall of the house, and the other wing of five cubits was touching the outstretched wing of the other cherub.
两个基路伯的翅膀共长二十肘. 这基路伯的一个翅膀长五肘, 挨着殿这边的墙; 那一个翅膀也长五肘, 与那基路伯翅膀相接.

3:12 And the wing of five cubits of the other cherub was touching the wall of the house, and its other wing five cubits long touching the wing of the first cherub.
那基路伯的一个翅膀长五肘, 挨着殿那边的墙; 那一个翅膀也长五肘, 与这基路伯的翅膀相接.

3:13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they were standing on their feet, their faces toward the house.
两个基路伯张开翅膀, 共长二十肘, 面向外殿而立.

3:14 And he made the curtain of blue and purple and crimson and fine linen, and put cherubim on it.
又用蓝色,紫色,朱红色线和细麻织幔子, 在其上绣出基路伯来.

3:15 And at the front of the house he made two columns, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on their top was five cubits.
在殿前造了两根柱子, 高三十五肘; 每柱顶高五肘.

3:16 And he made decorative chains in the inner sanctuary and put them on top of the columns. And he made one hundred pomegranate ornaments, and put them on the chains.
又照圣所内链子的样式做链子, 安在柱顶上; 又做一百石榴, 安在链子上.

3:17 And he erected the columns in front of the temple, one on the south and one on the north. He called the name of the southern one Jakin, and the name of the northern one Boaz.
将两根柱子立在殿前, 一根在右边, 一根在左边; 右边的起名叫雅斤, 左边的起名叫波阿斯.

II Chronicles - Chapter 4

4:1 And he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits was its length, and twenty cubits was its width, and ten cubits was its height.
他又制造一座铜坛, 长二十肘, 宽二十肘, 高十肘;

4:2 Then he made the sea of molten metal, from brim to brim it was ten cubits, completely round. And it was five cubits in height, and its circumference measured thirty cubits.
又铸一个铜海, 样式是圆的, 高五肘, 径十肘, 围三十肘;

4:3 Under it were figures of oxen all around it, ten cubits high, encircling the sea all around. The oxen were in two rows cast as one piece with it.
海周围有野瓜(野瓜: 原文是牛)的样式, 每肘十瓜, 共有两行, 是铸海的时候铸上的;

4:4 It was standing upon twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set upon them from above, and all their hindquarters faced inward.
有十二只铜牛驮海: 三只向北, 三只向西, 三只向南, 三只向东; 海在牛上, 牛尾向内;

4:5 And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its brim was like the working of the lip of a cup, the blossom of a lily. And it held three thousand baths.
海厚一掌, 边如杯边, 又如百合花, 可容三千罢特;

4:6 And he made ten basins. And he set five on the south and five on the north in which to wash; they washed off the work of the burnt offering in them, but the sea was for the priests to wash therein.
又制造十个盆: 五个放在右边, 五个放在左边, 献燔祭所用之物都洗在其内; 但海是为祭司沐浴的.

4:7 And he made ten golden lampstands according to their custom, and he set them in the temple, five on the south and five on the north.
他又照所定的样式造十个金灯台, 放在殿里: 五个在右边, 五个在左边;

4:8 And he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south and five on the north. And he made a hundred drinking bowls of gold.
又造十张桌子放在殿里: 五张在右边, 五张在左边; 又造一百个金碗;

4:9 And he made the courtyard of the priests and the great outer courtyard and the doors for the outer court. And he overlaid their doors with bronze.
又建立祭司院和大院, 并院门, 用铜包裹门扇;

4:10 And he set the sea at the southeast corner of the temple.
将海安在殿门的右边, 就是南边.

4:11 And Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the drinking bowls. So Hiram finished making the work that he made on the house of God for King Solomon:
户兰又造了盆,铲,碗. 这样, 他为所罗门王做完了神殿的工.

4:12 the two columns, the bowls, and the two capitals on top of the columns, and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on top of the columns,
所造的就是: 两根柱子和柱上两个如球的顶, 并两个盖柱顶的网子

4:13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for the latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were before the columns.
和四百石榴, 安在两个网子上〈每网两行盖著两个柱上如球的顶〉.

4:14 And he made the water carts, and he made the basins on the water carts,
盆座和其上的盆,

4:15 and the one sea and the twelve oxen underneath it.
海和海下的十二只牛,

4:16 And Huram-abi made for King Solomon the pots, the shovels, the three-pronged meat forks, and all the utensils of polished bronze for the house of Yahweh.
盆,铲子,肉锸子, 与耶和华殿里的一切器皿, 都是巧匠户兰用光亮的铜为所罗门王造成的,

4:17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.
是在约旦平原疏割和撒利但中间藉胶泥铸成的.

4:18 Solomon made all these utensils in great abundance, for the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
所罗门制造的这一切甚多, 铜的轻重无法可查.

4:19 So Solomon made all the objects that were in the house of God: the altar of gold; the tables upon which was the bread of the presence;
所罗门又造神殿里的金坛和陈设饼的桌子,

4:20 the lampstands, and the lamps for burning according to the custom before the inner sanctuary, of solid gold;
并精金的灯台和灯盏, 可以照例点在内殿前.

4:21 and the blossoms, the lamps, and the tongs that were of solid gold;
灯台上的花和灯盏, 并蜡剪都是金的, 且是纯金的;

4:22 and the snuffers, the drinking bowls, the dishes, and the firepans, of solid gold; and the entrance to the house, the inner doors to the most holy place, and the doors to the house of the temple were of gold.
又用精金制造镊子,盘子,调羹,火鼎. 至于殿门和至圣所的门扇, 并殿的门扇, 都是金子妆饰的.

II Chronicles - Chapter 5

5:1 When all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was finished, Solomon brought the holy objects of David his father: the silver, the gold, and all the objects he had put into the storehouses of the house of God.
所罗门做完了耶和华殿的一切工, 就把他父大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿都带来, 放在神殿的府库里.

5:2 Then Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the families for the Israelites, to Jerusalem in order to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, which is Zion.
那时, 所罗门将以色列的长老,各支派的首领, 并以色列的族长招聚到耶路撒冷, 要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城─就是锡安─运上来.

5:3 And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month.
于是以色列众人在七月节前都聚集到王那里.

5:4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
以色列众长老来到, 利未人便抬起约柜.

5:5 And they brought up the ark, the tent of assembly, and all the holy objects that were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.
祭司利未人将约柜运上来, 又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来.

5:6 And King Solomon and the whole community of Israel that was assembled before him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted nor numbered for abundance.
所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众都在约柜前献牛羊为祭, 多得不可胜数.

5:7 Then the priests brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house, into the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿, 就是至圣所, 放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下.

5:8 The cherubim were spreading their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim were covering the ark and over its poles from above.
基路伯张著翅膀在约柜之上, 遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠.

5:9 But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles from the ark were seen from before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen from the outside. And they are there until this day.
这杠甚长, 杠头在内殿前可以看见, 在殿外却不能看见, 直到如今还在那里.

5:10 There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets that Moses had put inside at Horeb on which Yahweh had made a covenant with the Israelites when they went out from Egypt.
约柜里惟有两块石版, 就是以色列人出埃及后, 耶和华与他们立约的时候, 摩西在何烈山所放的. 除此以外, 并无别物.

5:11 And when the priests came out of the sanctuary (for all the priests who were present sanctified themselves without keeping their divisions)
当时, 在那里所有的祭司都已自洁, 并不分班供职.

5:12 and all the Levitical singers—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, their sons, their brothers, dressed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and stringed instruments—they were standing to the east of the altar. And with them outside were one hundred and twenty priests who were trumpet blowers.
他们出圣所的时候, 歌唱的利未人亚萨,希幔,耶杜顿, 和他们的众子众弟兄都穿细麻布衣服, 站在坛的东边, 敲钹,鼓瑟,弹琴, 同着他们有一百二十个祭司吹号.

5:13 And it was the primary duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard with one voice, to praise and give thanks to Yahweh. And when a sound from the trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments of song was raised to Yahweh—for he is good, because his loyal love is everlasting—then the house, the house of Yahweh, was filled with a cloud.
吹号的,歌唱的都一齐发声, 声合为一, 赞美感谢耶和华. 吹号,敲钹, 用各种乐器, 扬声赞美耶和华说: 耶和华本为善, 他的慈爱永远长存! 那时, 耶和华的殿有云充满,

5:14 And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of God.
甚至祭司不能站立供职, 因为耶和华的荣光充满了神的殿.

II Chronicles - Chapter 6

6:1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has decided to dwell in the deep gloom.
那时, 所罗门说: 耶和华曾说他必住在幽暗之处.

6:2 But I have built for you an exalted house, even a place for you to dwell in forever.”
但我已经建造殿宇作你的居所, 为你永远的住处.

6:3 Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, and all the assembly of Israel were standing.
王转脸为以色列会众祝福, 以色列会众就都站立.

6:4 And he said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth with David my father, and with his hands he has fulfilled it, saying,
所罗门说: “耶和华─以色列的神是应当称颂的! 因他亲口向我父大卫所应许的, 也亲手成就了.

6:5 ‘From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt I did not choose a city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in order for my name to be there. Nor did I choose a man to be leader over my people Israel.
他说: ‘自从我领我民出埃及地以来, 我未曾在以色列众支派中选择一城建造殿宇为我名的居所, 也未曾拣选一人作我民以色列的君;

6:6 But I have chosen my name to be there in Jerusalem, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
但选择耶路撒冷为我名的居所, 又拣选大卫治理我民以色列. ’”

6:7 Now, it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
所罗门说: “我父大卫曾立意要为耶和华─以色列神的名建殿,

6:8 But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart,
耶和华却对我父大卫说: ‘你立意要为我的名建殿, 这意思甚好;

6:9 but you yourself will not build the house, but your son who will proceed from your loins; he himself will build the house for my name.’
只是你不可建殿, 惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿. ’

6:10 Now Yahweh has fulfilled his word that he spoke. I have risen in the place of David my father and am seated on the throne of Israel as Yahweh has spoken. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
“现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话, 使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位, 是照耶和华所说的, 又为耶和华─以色列神的名建造了殿.

6:11 And I have there the ark in which is the covenant of Yahweh that he made with the Israelites.”
我将约柜安置在其中, 柜内有耶和华的约, 就是他与以色列人所立的约. ”

6:12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh before all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
所罗门当着以色列会众, 站在耶和华的坛前, 举起手来,

6:13 (For Solomon had made a platform of bronze five cubits long and five cubits wide and three cubits high, and placed it in the midst of the outer court.) And he stood upon it, then knelt down on his knees before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands to heaven.
〈所罗门曾造一个铜台, 长五肘, 宽五肘, 高三肘, 放在院中〉就站在台上, 当着以色列的会众跪下, 向天举手,

6:14 And he said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, there is none like you, a God in the heavens and on the earth, keeping the covenant and loyal love with your servants who walk before you with all their heart,
说: “耶和华─以色列的神啊, 天上地下没有神可比你的! 你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱;

6:15 that you have kept for your servant David my father what you spoke to him. You spoke with your mouth, and by your hand you have fulfilled it on this day.
向你仆人─我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了. 你亲口应许, 亲手成就, 正如今日一样.

6:16 And now, O Yahweh, God of Israel, keep for your servant David, my father, what you have spoken to him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel before me, if only your sons keep their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
耶和华─以色列的神啊, 你所应许你仆人─我父大卫的话说: ‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为, 遵守我的律法, 像你在我面前所行的一样, 就不断人坐以色列的国位. ’现在求你应验这话.

6:17 And now, O Yahweh, God of Israel, let your word that you have spoken to your servant David be confirmed.
耶和华─以色列的神啊, 求你成就向你仆人大卫所应许的话.

6:18 “But will God indeed dwell with humankind upon the earth? Look, the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain you! Surely then this house that I have built will not contain you!
“神果真与世人同住在地上吗? 看哪, 天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的, 何况我所建的这殿呢?

6:19 But turn to the prayer of your servant and to his plea, O Yahweh my God, to hearken to the pleading and to the prayer that your servant is praying before you,
惟求耶和华─我的神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求, 俯听仆人在你面前的祈祷呼吁.

6:20 that your eyes may be open day and night to this house, to the place that you have promised to place your name there, that you may hear the prayer that your servant has prayed to this place.
愿你昼夜看顾这殿, 就是你应许立为你名的居所; 求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话.

6:21 And listen to the pleas of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place, that you yourself might hear from the place of your dwelling, from the heavens, that you might hear and forgive.
你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候, 求你从天上你的居所垂听, 垂听而赦免.

6:22 “If a man sins against his neighbor and makes him swear an oath and comes with an oath before your altar in this house,
“人若得罪邻舍, 有人叫他起誓, 他来到这殿, 在你的坛前起誓,

6:23 then may you yourself hear from the heavens and act and judge your servants, to repay the guilty by bringing his way upon his head and to vindicate the righteous by giving to him according to his righteousness.
求你从天上垂听, 判断你的仆人, 定恶人有罪, 照他所行的报应在他头上; 定义人有理, 照他的义赏赐他.

6:24 “And if your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against you and they repent and confess your name and pray and plead before you in this house,
“你的民以色列若得罪你, 败在仇敌面前, 又回心转意承认你的名, 在这殿里向你祈求祷告,

6:25 then may you yourself hear from the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Israel and again bring them back to the land that you gave to them and to their ancestors.
求你从天上垂听, 赦免你民以色列的罪, 使他们归回你赐给他们和他们列祖之地.

6:26 “When the heavens are stopped up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you and they pray to this place and confess your name and turn back from their sin when you humble them,
“你的民因得罪你, 你惩罚他们, 使天闭塞不下雨, 他们若向此处祷告, 承认你的名, 离开他们的罪,

6:27 then may you yourself hear from the heavens and forgive the sin of your servants and your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon your land that you have given to your people as an inheritance.
求你在天上垂听, 赦免你仆人和你民以色列的罪, 将当行的善道指教他们, 且降雨在你的地, 就是你赐给你民为业之地.

6:28 “If there is a famine in the land; if there is disease, blight, mildew, locust, and caterpillar; if it happens that his enemy lays siege to him in the land and his gates; any kind of plague, any kind of disease,
“国中若有饥荒,瘟疫,旱风,霉烂,蝗虫,蚂蚱, 或有仇敌犯境, 围困城邑, 无论遭遇甚么灾祸疾病,

6:29 then any prayer, any plea that is made by any person and by all your people Israel, each one who knows his own affliction and his own anguish and who spreads out his hands to this house,
你的民以色列, 或是众人, 或是一人, 自觉灾祸甚苦, 向这殿举手, 无论祈求甚么, 祷告甚么,

6:30 then may you yourself hear from the heavens, your dwelling place, and forgive and give to each according to all his ways, since you know the heart of the children of humankind,
求你从天上你的居所垂听赦免. 你是知道人心的, 要照各人所行的待他们(惟有你知道世人的心),

6:31 that they may fear you and walk in your ways all the days that they are alive upon the face of the land that you have given to our ancestors.
使他们在你赐给我们列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你, 遵行你的道.

6:32 “And also, with respect to the foreigner, he who is not of your people Israel, but comes from a distant land, for the sake of your great name and your powerful hand and outstretched arm, when he comes and prays to this house,
“论到不属你民以色列的外邦人, 为你的大名和大能的手, 并伸出来的膀臂, 从远方而来, 向这殿祷告,

6:33 then may you yourself hear from the heavens, from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner asks of you, so that all peoples of earth will know of your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that your name possesses this house that I have built.
求你从天上你的居所垂听, 照着外邦人所祈求的而行, 使天下万民都认识你的名, 敬畏你, 像你的民以色列一样, 又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的.

6:34 “When your people go out to battle against their enemy according to the way that you have sent them, and they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name,
“你的民若奉你的差遣, 无论往何处去与仇敌争战, 向你所选择的城与我为你名所建造的殿祷告,

6:35 then may you hear their prayer and their pleas from the heavens and uphold their case.
求你从天上垂听他们的祷告祈求, 使他们得胜.

6:36 When they sin against you—for there is no person who does not sin—and you become angry with them and place them before their enemy that they carry them away as captives to a land far or near,
“你的民若得罪你(世上没有不犯罪的人), 你向他们发怒, 将他们交给仇敌掳到或远或近之地;

6:37 but if they repent in the land where they were taken captive and repent and beg you for mercy in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned and acted perversely and done wickedly,
他们若在掳到之地想起罪来, 回心转意, 恳求你说: ‘我们有罪了, 我们悖逆了, 我们作恶了’;

6:38 and we return to you,’ with their whole heart and with all their inmost being in the land of their captivity where they took them captive, and if they pray toward their land that you have given to their ancestors and the city that you have chosen and to the house that I have built for your name,
他们若在掳到之地尽心尽性归服你, 又向自己的地, 就是你赐给他们列祖之地和你所选择的城, 并我为你名所建造的殿祷告,

6:39 then may you hear their prayer and their pleas from the heavens, from your dwelling place, and uphold their case and forgive your people who sinned against you.
求你从天上你的居所垂听你民的祷告祈求, 为他们伸冤, 赦免他们的过犯.

6:40 Now, O my God, please let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place!
“我的神啊, 现在求你睁眼看, 侧耳听在此处所献的祷告.

6:41 “And now arise, O Yahweh God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength! O Yahweh God, let the priests be clothed with salvation, and let your holy ones rejoice in your goodness!
耶和华神啊, 求你起来, 和你有能力的约柜同入安息之所. 耶和华神啊, 愿你的祭司披上救恩; 愿你的圣民蒙福欢乐.

6:42 O Yahweh God, do not turn away the face of your anointed one! Remember the loyal love of your servant, David!”
耶和华神啊, 求你不要厌弃你的受膏者, 要记念向你仆人大卫所施的慈爱. ”

II Chronicles - Chapter 7

7:1 And when Solomon finished praying, then fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
所罗门祈祷已毕, 就有火从天上降下来, 烧尽燔祭和别的祭. 耶和华的荣光充满了殿;

7:2 And the priests were not able to go into the house of Yahweh, for the glory of Yahweh had filled the house.
因耶和华的荣光充满了耶和华殿, 所以祭司不能进殿.

7:3 When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, they knelt down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loyal love is everlasting.
那火降下,耶和华的荣光在殿上的时候, 以色列众人看见, 就在铺石地俯伏叩拜, 称谢耶和华说: 耶和华本为善, 他的慈爱永远长存!

7:4 Then the king and all the people were offering a sacrifice before Yahweh.
王和众民在耶和华面前献祭.

7:5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
所罗门王用牛二万二千, 羊十二万献祭. 这样, 王和众民为神的殿行奉献之礼.

7:6 And the priests stood at their posts with the Levites, with the instruments of the song of Yahweh that King David had made to give thanks to Yahweh—for his loyal love is everlasting—whenever David offered praise by their hand. Now the priests sounded trumpets standing opposite them, and all Israel stood.
祭司侍立, 各供其职; 利未人也拿着耶和华的乐器, 就是大卫王造出来,藉利未人颂赞耶和华的. (他的慈爱永远长存! )祭司在众人面前吹号, 以色列人都站立.

7:7 And Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that was before the house of Yahweh, for there he had made the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, for the bronze altar that Solomon had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, cereal offerings, and the fat.
所罗门因他所造的铜坛容不下燔祭,素祭, 和脂油, 便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣, 在那里献燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油.

7:8 And Solomon held a feast at that time of seven days. And all Israel was with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo-Hamath to the river of Egypt.
那时所罗门和以色列众人, 就是从哈马口直到埃及小河, 所有的以色列人都聚集成为大会, 守节七日.

7:9 And on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly, for they held the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days.
第八日设立严肃会, 行奉献坛的礼七日, 守节七日.

7:10 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents rejoicing and festive of heart on account of the goodness that Yahweh had done for David, Solomon, and Israel his people.
七月二十三日, 王遣散众民; 他们因见耶和华向大卫和所罗门与他民以色列所施的恩惠, 就都心中喜乐, 各归各家去了.

7:11 And Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and the house of the king. And all that came into the heart of Solomon to do with respect to the house of Yahweh and his own house he accomplished.
所罗门造成了耶和华殿和王宫; 在耶和华殿和王宫凡他心中所要做的, 都顺顺利利地做成了.

7:12 Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
夜间耶和华向所罗门显现, 对他说: “我已听了你的祷告, 也选择这地方作为祭祀我的殿宇.

7:13 When I hold back the heavens so that there is not rain, and when I command the locust to devour the earth, and if I send disease among my people,
我若使天闭塞不下雨, 或使蝗虫吃这地的出产, 或使瘟疫流行在我民中,

7:14 then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and will pray and will seek my face and will turn from their evil ways, then I myself shall hear from the heavens and will forgive their sins and heal their land.
这称为我名下的子民, 若是自卑,祷告, 寻求我的面, 转离他们的恶行, 我必从天上垂听, 赦免他们的罪, 医治他们的地.

7:15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
我必睁眼看,侧耳听在此处所献的祷告.

7:16 And now I have chosen and consecrated this house for my name to be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
现在我已选择这殿, 分别为圣, 使我的名永在其中, 我的眼,我的心也必常在那里.

7:17 Now as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked and do according to all that I have commanded you and will keep my ordinances and judgments,
你若在我面前效法你父大卫所行的, 遵行我一切所吩咐你的, 谨守我的律例典章,

7:18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘A man shall not be cut off for you from ruling over Israel.’
我就必坚固你的国位, 正如我与你父大卫所立的约, 说: ‘你的子孙必不断人作以色列的王. ’

7:19 “But if you turn yourselves away and forsake my ordinances and my commandments which I have given before you all and will go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
“倘若你们转去丢弃我指示你们的律例诫命, 去事奉敬拜别神,

7:20 then I will uproot them from upon my land that I have given to them, and this house that I have consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face, and I will make it a proverb and a taunt among all the nations.
我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上拔出根来, 并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾, 使他在万民中作笑谈, 被讥诮.

7:21 And as for this house, which was exalted, all who pass by it will be appalled and will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land and to this house?’
这殿虽然甚高, 将来经过的人必惊讶说: ‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢? ’

7:22 Then they will say, ‘Because they forsook Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.’ ”
人必回答说: ‘是因此地的人离弃耶和华─他们列祖的神, 就是领他们出埃及地的神, 去亲近别神, 敬拜事奉他, 所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们. ’”

II Chronicles - Chapter 8

8:1 And it happened that at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh and his own house,
所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫, 二十年才完毕了.

8:2 Solomon also built the cities that Huram had given to him, and he settled the Israelites in them.
以后所罗门重新修筑希兰送给他的那些城邑, 使以色列人住在那里.

8:3 And Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah and laid siege upon it.
所罗门往哈马琐巴去, 攻取了那地方.

8:4 And he built Tadmor in the desert, and he built all the storage cities in Hamath.
所罗门建造旷野里的达莫, 又建造哈马所有的积货城,

8:5 He also built Upper Beth-Horon and Lower Beth-Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
又建造上伯‧和仑,下伯‧和仑作为保障, 都有墙, 有门, 有闩;

8:6 Baalath and all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon; all the cities for chariots and cities for horses; and any desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
又建造巴拉和所有的积货城, 并屯车辆马兵的城, 与耶路撒冷,黎巴嫩, 以及自己治理的全国中所愿意建造的.

8:7 All the people who remained from the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites who were not from Israel,
至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,希未人,耶布斯人,

8:8 from the descendants who were left over after them in the land, whom the Israelites had not destroyed, Solomon conscripted them as forced labor until this day.
就是以色列人未曾灭绝的, 所罗门挑取他们的后裔作服苦的奴仆, 直到今日.

8:9 But from the Israelites Solomon did not give as servants for his work, but they were men of war, his commanders of his officers, and commanders of his chariots and his horses.
惟有以色列人, 所罗门不使他们当奴仆做工, 乃是作他的战士,军长的统领,车兵长,马兵长.

8:10 And these were the commanders of the garrisons that belonged to King Solomon, two hundred and fifty who exercised authority over the people.
所罗门王有二百五十督工的, 监管工人.

8:11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David to the house that he had built for her, for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David, king of Israel, for those places to which the ark of Yahweh has come are holy.
所罗门将法老的女儿带出大卫城, 上到为她建造的宫里; 因所罗门说: “耶和华约柜所到之处都为圣地, 所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里. ”

8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh that he had built before the portico,
所罗门在耶和华的坛上, 就是在廊子前他所筑的坛上, 与耶和华献燔祭;

8:13 as was the daily requirement, to offer up according to the commandments of Moses for Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and the three annual feasts: the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.
又遵著摩西的吩咐在安息日,月朔, 并一年三节, 就是除酵节,七七节,住棚节, 献每日所当献的祭.

8:14 And in accord with the ordinance of David his father he appointed working groups of priests for their service, Levites for their responsibilities for praise and cultic service before the priests according to the daily requirement, and the gatekeepers in their working groups, gate by gate. For thus David the man of God had commanded.
所罗门照着他父大卫所定的例, 派定祭司的班次, 使他们各供己事, 又使利未人各尽其职, 赞美耶和华, 在祭司面前做每日所当做的; 又派守门的按著班次看守各门, 因为神人大卫是这样吩咐的.

8:15 And they did not turn aside from the commandment of the king concerning the priests and the Levites concerning anything, and concerning the treasury rooms.
王所吩咐众祭司和利未人的, 无论是管府库或办别的事, 他们都不违背.

8:16 And Solomon accomplished all the work from the day the foundation stone was laid for the house of Yahweh until its completion, and the house of Yahweh was finished.
所罗门建造耶和华的殿, 从立根基直到成功的日子, 工料俱备. 这样, 耶和华的殿全然完毕.

8:17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-Geber, and to Elath, on the edge of the sea in the land of Edom.
那时, 所罗门往以东地靠海的以旬‧迦别和以禄去.

8:18 And Huram sent to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowledgeable of the sea. And they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and from there they collected four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.
希兰差遣他的臣仆, 将船只和熟悉泛海的仆人送到所罗门那里. 他们同著所罗门的仆人到了俄斐, 得了四百五十他连得金子, 运到所罗门王那里.

II Chronicles - Chapter 9

9:1 Now the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, with much wealth and camels, bearing spices and much gold and precious stones. And she came to Solomon and told him all that was on her mind.
示巴女王听见所罗门的名声, 就来到耶路撒冷, 要用难解的话试问所罗门; 跟随她的人甚多, 又有骆驼驮著香料,宝石, 和许多金子. 她来见了所罗门, 就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来.

9:2 And Solomon answered all her questions. Not a word was hidden from Solomon that he did not answer for her.
所罗门将她所问的都答上了, 没有一句不明白,不能答的.

9:3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon and the house he had built,
示巴女王见所罗门的智慧和他所建造的宫室,

9:4 and the food of his table, and the position of his officers, the duty of his servants and their clothing, his cupbearers and their clothing, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of Yahweh, there was no longer any breath in her.
席上的珍馐美味,群臣分列而坐,仆人两旁侍立, 以及他们的衣服装饰,酒政, 和酒政的衣服装饰, 又见他上耶和华殿的台阶, 就诧异得神不守舍,

9:5 And she said to the king, “The word which I heard in my land concerning your words and your wisdom is true,
对王说: “我在本国里所听见论到你的事和你的智慧实在是真的!

9:6 but I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes. And behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not reported to me; you surpass the rumors that I had heard.
我先不信那些话, 及至我来亲眼见了, 才知道你的大智慧; 人所告诉我的, 还不到一半; 你的实迹越过我所听见的名声.

9:7 Blessed are your men, and blessed are these your servants who stand before you regularly and hear your wisdom!
你的群臣,你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的.

9:8 Blessed be Yahweh your God who took delight in you, to put you on his throne as king for Yahweh your God! Because your God loved Israel, he established him forever and has put you over them as king to do justice and righteousness!”
耶和华─你的神是应当称颂的! 他喜悦你, 使你坐他的国位, 为耶和华─你的神作王; 因为你的神爱以色列人, 要永远坚立他们, 所以立你作他们的王, 使你秉公行义. ”

9:9 And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones. And there were no spices such as those that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
于是示巴女王将一百二十他连得金子和宝石, 与极多的香料送给所罗门王; 她送给王的香料, 以后再没有这样的.

9:10 Moreover the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir brought algum wood and precious stones.
希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐运了金子来, 也运了檀香木(或译: 乌木; 下同)和宝石来.

9:11 And the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, and lyres and harps for the singers from the algum wood. And there was not seen anything like them before in the land of Judah.
王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做台, 又为歌唱的人做琴瑟; 犹大地从来没有见过这样的.

9:12 Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba every desired thing she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. Then she turned and went to her land, she and her servants.
所罗门王按示巴女王所带来的, 还她礼物, 另外照她一切所要所求的, 都送给她. 于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了.

9:13 And it happened that the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得,

9:14 besides the gold and silver the traders and merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought.
另外还有商人所进的金子, 并且阿拉伯诸王与属国的省长都带金银给所罗门.

9:15 And King Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each shield.
所罗门王用锤出来的金子打成挡牌二百面, 每面用金子六百舍客勒;

9:16 And he made three hundred small shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels went into each small shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面, 每面用金子三百舍客勒, 都放在黎巴嫩林宫里.

9:17 And the king made a large ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold.
王用象牙制造一个大宝座, 用精金包裹.

9:18 And the throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to the throne. And there were armrests on each side. And by the seat were two lions standing beside the armrests.
宝座有六层台阶, 又有金脚凳, 与宝座相连. 宝座两旁有扶手, 靠近扶手有两个狮子站立.

9:19 And twelve lions were standing there on each of the six steps on each end. And there was nothing like it made in all the kingdom.
六层台阶上有十二个狮子站立, 每层有两个: 左边一个, 右边一个; 在列国中没有这样做的.

9:20 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Silver was not valued as anything in the days of Solomon.
所罗门王一切的饮器都是金的, 黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金的. 所罗门年间, 银子算不了甚么.

9:21 For the ships of the king went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came carrying gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
因为王的船只与希兰的仆人一同往他施去; 他施船只三年一次装载金,银,象牙,猿猴,孔雀回来.

9:22 Thus King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王.

9:23 And all the kings of the earth sought the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God put in his heart.
普天下的王都求见所罗门, 要听神赐给他智慧的话.

9:24 And each of them brought his gifts, objects of silver, objects of gold, cloaks, myrrh, spices, horses, and mules, as an amount year by year.
他们各带贡物, 就是金器,银器,衣服,军械,香料,骡马, 每年有一定之例.

9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
所罗门有套车的马四千棚, 有马兵一万二千, 安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷, 就是王那里.

9:26 And he ruled over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, to the boundary of Egypt.
所罗门统管诸王, 从大河到非利士地, 直到埃及的边界.

9:27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar as the sycamore trees that are in the Shephelah for abundance.
王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头, 香柏木多如高原的桑树.

9:28 And the horses were imported from Egypt and from all lands for Solomon.
有人从埃及和各国为所罗门赶马群来.

9:29 As for the remainder of the words of Solomon from the first to the last, are they not written in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer, concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
所罗门其余的事, 自始至终, 不都写在先知拿单的书上和示罗人亚希雅的预言书上, 并先见易多论尼八儿子耶罗波安的默示书上吗?

9:30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年.

9:31 And Solomon slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
所罗门与他列祖同睡, 葬在他父大卫城里. 他儿子罗波安接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 10

10:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
罗波安往示剑去, 因为以色列人都到了示剑, 要立他作王.

10:2 And it happened that when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it—now he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon—Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
尼八的儿子耶罗波安先前躲避所罗门王, 逃往埃及, 住在那里; 他听见这事, 就从埃及回来.

10:3 And they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and all Israel went, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
以色列人打发人去请他, 他就和以色列众人来见罗波安, 对他说:

10:4 “Your father made our yoke heavy. Now, therefore, lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, and we will serve you.”
“你父亲使我们负重轭做苦工, 现在求你使我们做的苦工负的重轭轻松些, 我们就事奉你. ”

10:5 And he said to them, “In three days return to me again.” And the people went away.
罗波安对他们说: “第三日再来见我吧! ”民就去了.

10:6 Then King Rehoboam took counsel with the elders who had been serving before Solomon his father when he was alive, saying, “What word do you advise to answer this people?”
罗波安之父所罗门在世的日子, 有侍立在他面前的老年人, 罗波安王和他们商议, 说: “你们给我出个甚么主意, 我好回覆这民. ”

10:7 And they said to him, “If you will be good to this people and please them, then speak good words to them. Then they will be your servants forever.”
老年人对他说: “王若恩待这民, 使他们喜悦, 用好话回复他们, 他们就永远作王的仆人. ”

10:8 But he forsook the advice of the elders that advised him and took counsel of the young men who had grown up with him who were serving before him.
王却不用老年人给他出的主意, 就和那些与他一同长大,在他面前侍立的少年人商议,

10:9 And he said to them, “What do you advise that we should say in return to this people, who said to me, ‘Lighten the yoke that your father has put upon us’?”
说: “这民对我说: ‘你父亲使我们负重轭, 求你使我们轻松些’; 你们给我出个甚么主意, 我好回覆他们. ”

10:10 Then the young men who had grown up with him said to him, “Thus you should say to this people who have said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, so you yourself should lighten it for us.’ Thus you should say to them, ‘My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
那同他长大的少年人说: “这民对王说: ‘你父亲使我们负重轭, 求你使我们轻松些’; 王要对他们如此说: “我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗;

10:11 So now, my father laid upon you a heavy yoke, but I myself will add to the yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I myself will do so with scorpions.’ ”
我父亲使你们负重轭, 我必使你们负更重的轭; 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我要用蝎子鞭责打你们. ’”

10:12 Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had spoken, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
耶罗波安和众百姓遵著罗波安王所说“你们第三日再来见我”的那话, 第三日他们果然来了.

10:13 And the king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the advice of the elders.
罗波安王用严厉的话回复他们, 不用老年人所出的主意,

10:14 And he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “I will make your yoke heavy, and I myself will add to it. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will do so with scorpions.”
照着少年人所出的主意对他们说: “我父亲使你们负重轭, 我必使你们负更重的轭; 我父亲用鞭子责打你们, 我要用蝎子鞭责打你们. ”

10:15 So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turning of events from God, so that Yahweh might fulfill his word that he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
王不肯依从百姓; 这事乃出于神, 为要应验耶和华藉示罗人亚希雅对尼八儿子耶罗波安所说的话.

10:16 So all Israel saw that the king would not listen to them, and the people answered the king, saying, “What portion is there for us in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Each to your tents, O Israel! Now look to your own house, David!” And all Israel went to their own tents.
以色列众民见王不依从他们, 就对王说: 我们与大卫有甚么分儿呢? 与耶西的儿子并没有关涉! 以色列人哪, 各回各家去吧! 大卫家啊, 自己顾自己吧! 于是, 以色列众人都回自己家里去了.

10:17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam ruled over them.
惟独住在犹大城邑的以色列人, 罗波安仍作他们的王.

10:18 Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him with stones, and he died. Then King Rehoboam hastily went up into the chariot to flee to Jerusalem.
罗波安王差遣掌管服苦之人的哈多兰往以色列人那里去, 以色列人就用石头打死他. 罗波安王急忙上车, 逃回耶路撒冷去了.

10:19 So Israel has rebelled against the house of David until this day.
这样, 以色列人背叛大卫家, 直到今日.

II Chronicles - Chapter 11

11:1 When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.
罗波安来到耶路撒冷, 招聚犹大家和便雅悯家, 共十八万人, 都是挑选的战士, 要与以色列人争战, 好将国夺回再归自己.

11:2 But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,
但耶和华的话临到神人示玛雅说:

11:3 “Say to Rehoboam, son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
“你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安和住犹大,便雅悯的以色列众人说,

11:4 ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Do not go up, and do not fight against your brothers. Return, each man to his house, for this matter has come from me.” ’ ” So they obeyed the words of Yahweh and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
耶和华如此说: ‘你们不可上去与你们的弟兄争战, 各归各家去吧! 因为这事出于我. ’”众人就听从耶和华的话归回, 不去与耶罗波安争战.

11:5 And Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built cities as strongholds in Judah.
罗波安住在耶路撒冷, 在犹大地修筑城邑,

11:6 He built Bethlehem, Etah, Tekoa,
为保障修筑伯利恒,以坦,提哥亚,

11:7 Beth-Zur, Socoh, Adullam,
伯‧夙,梭哥,亚杜兰,

11:8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
迦特,玛利沙,西弗,

11:9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,
亚多莱音,拉吉,亚西加,

11:10 Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, fortified cities that are in Judah and in Benjamin.
琐拉,亚雅仑,希伯仑. 这都是犹大和便雅悯的坚固城.

11:11 And he strengthened the fortifications and put commanders in them, along with stores of food, olive oil, and wine.
罗波安又坚固各处的保障, 在其中安置军长, 又预备下粮食,油,酒.

11:12 And in all the cities he put shields and spears, and he greatly strengthened them. So he had Judah and Benjamin.
他在各城里预备盾牌和枪, 且使城极其坚固. 犹大和便雅悯都归了他.

11:13 Now the priests and the Levites who were throughout all Israel took their stand with him from all their territories.
以色列全地的祭司和利未人都从四方来归罗波安.

11:14 For the Levites left their pasturelands and their property and came to Judah and to Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to Yahweh.
利未人撇下他们的郊野和产业, 来到犹大与耶路撒冷, 是因耶罗波安和他的儿子拒绝他们, 不许他们供祭司职分事奉耶和华.

11:15 And he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat idols and for the bull calves that he had made.
耶罗波安为邱坛,为鬼魔(原文是公山羊),为自己所铸造的牛犊设立祭司.

11:16 Then after them, from all the tribes of Israel, those who set their heart to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to offer to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
以色列各支派中, 凡立定心意寻求耶和华─以色列神的, 都随从利未人, 来到耶路撒冷祭祀耶和华─他们列祖的神.

11:17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Judah and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, secure for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
这样, 就坚固犹大国, 使所罗门的儿子罗波安强盛三年, 因为他们三年遵行大卫和所罗门的道.

11:18 Then Rehoboam took to himself as a wife Mahalath, the daughter of Yerimot son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.
罗波安娶大卫儿子耶利摩的女儿玛哈拉为妻, 又娶耶西儿子以利押的女儿亚比孩为妻.

11:19 And she bore to him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
从她生了几个儿子, 就是耶乌施,示玛利雅,撒罕.

11:20 And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom, who bore to him Abijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.
后来又娶押沙龙的女儿玛迦(十三章二节是乌列的女儿米该亚), 从她生了亚比雅,亚太,细撒,示罗密.

11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines (for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and he fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters).
罗波安娶十八个妻, 立六十个妾, 生二十八个儿子, 六十个女儿; 他却爱押沙龙的女儿玛迦, 比爱别的妻妾更甚.

11:22 And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as chief and crown prince over his brothers, in order to make him king.
罗波安立玛迦的儿子亚比雅作太子, 在他弟兄中为首, 因为想要立他接续作王.

11:23 And he dealt wisely and distributed some of his sons throughout all the land of Judah and Benjamin, through all the fortified cities, and gave abundant provisions to them and obtained many wives for them.
罗波安办事精明, 使他众子分散在犹大和便雅悯全地各坚固城里, 又赐他们许多粮食, 为他们多寻妻子.

II Chronicles - Chapter 12

12:1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and when he was strengthened, he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him.
罗波安的国坚立, 他强盛的时候就离弃耶和华的律法, 以色列人也都随从他.

12:2 And it happened that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam (for they had acted unfaithfully against Yahweh), Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem
罗波安王第五年, 埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷, 因为王和民得罪了耶和华.

12:3 with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And there was no number to the people who came up with him from Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
示撒带战车一千二百辆, 马兵六万, 并且跟从他出埃及的路比人,苏基人, 和古实人, 多得不可胜数.

12:4 And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and he came up to Jerusalem.
他攻取了犹大的坚固城, 就来到耶路撒冷.

12:5 Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem from before Shishak. And he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘You yourselves have abandoned me, and I myself have surely abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.’ ”
那时, 犹大的首领因为示撒就聚集在耶路撒冷. 有先知示玛雅去见罗波安和众首领, 对他们说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你们离弃了我, 所以我使你们落在示撒手里. ’”

12:6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
于是王和以色列的众首领都自卑说: “耶和华是公义的. ”

12:7 And when Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy. I will give to them some way of escape, that my anger not be poured out against Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
耶和华见他们自卑, 耶和华的话就临到示玛雅说: “他们既自卑, 我必不灭绝他们; 必使他们略得拯救, 我不藉著示撒的手将我的怒气倒在耶路撒冷.

12:8 However, they shall be his servants, that they might know my service and the service of the kingdoms of other countries.”
然而他们必作示撒的仆人, 好叫他们知道, 服事我与服事外邦人有何分别. ”

12:9 Then Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and he took the treasures out of the house of Yahweh and the treasures out of the king’s house. He took everything. He also took the small shields of gold that Solomon had made.
于是, 埃及王示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷, 夺了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物, 尽都带走, 又夺去所罗门制造的金盾牌.

12:10 And King Rehoboam made small shields of bronze in their place and committed them into the hand of the commanders of the guards who were keeping the entrance of the house of the king.
罗波安王制造铜盾牌代替那金盾牌, 交给守王宫门的护卫长看守.

12:11 And whenever the king went into the house of Yahweh, the guards came and carried them, and then they returned them to the alcove of the guards.
王每逢进耶和华的殿, 护卫兵就拿这盾牌, 随后仍将盾牌送回, 放在护卫房.

12:12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of Yahweh was turned away from him, so that he did not destroy the city completely. Moreover, matters were well in Judah.
王自卑的时候, 耶和华的怒气就转消了, 不将他灭尽, 并且在犹大中间也有善益的事.

12:13 So King Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned there. Now, Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city where Yahweh had chosen to put his name out of all the tribes of Israel. And the name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
罗波安王自强, 在耶路撒冷作王. 他登基的时候年四十一岁, 在耶路撒冷, 就是耶和华从以色列众支派中所选择立他名的城, 作王十七年. 罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛, 是亚扪人.

12:14 And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek Yahweh.
罗波安行恶, 因他不立定心意寻求耶和华.

12:15 Now the words of Rehoboam from the first to the last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer as a record? And there were battles between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
罗波安所行的事, 自始至终不都写在先知示玛雅和先见易多的史记上吗? 罗波安与耶罗波安时常争战.

12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his ancestors, and he was buried in the city of David, and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
罗波安与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城里. 他儿子亚比雅接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 13

13:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah reigned over Judah.
耶罗波安王十八年, 亚比雅登基作犹大王,

13:2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and between Jeroboam.
在耶路撒冷作王三年. 他母亲名叫米该亚(又作玛迦), 是基比亚人乌列的女儿. 亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战.

13:3 And Abijah joined in the battle with an army of four hundred thousand battle-hardened warriors, chosen men, and Jeroboam put the battle in order against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, an army of mighty warriors.
有一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵, 都是勇敢的战士; 耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万, 对亚比雅摆阵.

13:4 Then Abijah stood up on top of Mount Zemaraim that is in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上, 说: “耶罗波安和以色列众人哪, 要听我说!

13:5 Do you not all know that Yahweh the God of Israel gave the kingdom to David over Israel forever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
耶和华─以色列的神曾立盐约(盐就是不废坏的意思), 将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙, 你们不知道吗?

13:6 But Jeroboam the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master,
无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆,尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人.

13:7 and worthless men, sons of wickedness, were gathered about him and became hostile against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was a boy and gentle of heart and was not strong enough to stand before them.
有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他, 逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安; 那时罗波安还幼弱, 不能抵挡他们.

13:8 So now you yourselves are considering that you are strong before the kingdom of Yahweh which is in the hand the sons of David, since you yourselves are a great multitude and you have bull calves of gold that Jeroboam has made for idols.
“现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国, 你们的人也甚多, 你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊.

13:9 Did you not drive out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, the Levites? Have you not made for yourselves priests like all the peoples of the lands? All who come to be consecrated for priestly service with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what is not a god.
你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人吗? 不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司吗? 无论何人牵一只公牛犊,七只公绵羊将自己分别出来, 就可作虚无之神的祭司.

13:10 But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests serving Yahweh are the sons of Aaron, the Levites, according to their service.
至于我们, 耶和华是我们的神, 我们并没有离弃他. 我们有事奉耶和华的祭司, 都是亚伦的后裔, 并有利未人各尽其职,

13:11 They offer burnt offerings to Yahweh every morning and every evening, sweet spices of incense, and the rows of bread upon the pure table. And the golden lampstand with its lamps they keep kindled every evening, for we are keeping the requirement of Yahweh our God, but you yourselves have forsaken him.
每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭, 烧美香, 又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼; 又有金灯台和灯盏, 每晚点起, 因为我们遵守耶和华─我们神的命; 惟有你们离弃了他.

13:12 And look, God is with us at the head, and his priests have the trumpets for sounding blasts against you, O sons of Israel. Do not fight against Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”
率领我们的是神, 我们这里也有神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声. 以色列人哪, 不要与耶和华─你们列祖的神争战, 因你们必不能亨通. ”

13:13 Then Jeroboam sent around an ambush to come behind them. So they were in front of Judah, but the ambush was behind them.
耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵. 这样, 以色列人在犹大人的前头, 伏兵在犹大人的后头.

13:14 When Judah turned, then behold, the battle against them was in front and behind, and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests blew on the trumpets.
犹大人回头观看, 见前后都有敌兵, 就呼求耶和华, 祭司也吹号.

13:15 Then the men of Judah shouted, and it happened that when the men of Judah were shouting, then God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
于是犹大人呐喊; 犹大人呐喊的时候, 神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前.

13:16 And the Israelites fled from before Judah, and God gave them into their hand.
以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑, 神将他们交在犹大人手里.

13:17 And Abijah and his people struck a great blow against them, and the dead from Israel that fell were five hundred thousand chosen men.
亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人, 以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万.

13:18 And the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the people of Judah were victorious, for they relied upon Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
那时, 以色列人被制伏了, 犹大人得胜, 是因倚靠耶和华─他们列祖的神.

13:19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
亚比雅追赶耶罗波安, 攻取了他的几座城, 就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市, 耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市, 以法拉音(或译: 以弗伦)和属以法拉音的镇市.

13:20 And Jeroboam did not regain strength again in the days of Abijah. And Yahweh plagued him and he died.
亚比雅在世的时候, 耶罗波安不能再强盛; 耶和华攻击他, 他就死了.

13:21 But Abijah became strong, and he took to himself fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
亚比雅却渐渐强盛, 娶妻妾十四个, 生了二十二个儿子, 十六个女儿.

13:22 Now the rest of the words of Abijah and his ways and his words are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
亚比雅其余的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上.

II Chronicles - Chapter 14

14:1 And Abijah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son became king in his place. In his days the land was at rest ten years.
亚比雅与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城里. 他儿子亚撒接续他作王. 亚撒年间, 国中太平十年.

14:2 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yahweh his God.
亚撒行耶和华─他神眼中看为善为正的事,

14:3 He removed the foreign altars and high places, broke down the stone pillars, and cut down the Asherahs.
除掉外邦神的坛和邱坛, 打碎柱像, 砍下木偶,

14:4 And he commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, and to keep the law and the commandment.
吩咐犹大人寻求耶和华─他们列祖的神, 遵行他的律法,诫命;

14:5 And he removed the high places and the incense stands from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom had rest under him.
又在犹大各城邑除掉邱坛和日像, 那时国享太平;

14:6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land was at rest. Under him there was no war in those years, for Yahweh had given rest to him.
又在犹大建造了几座坚固城. 国中太平数年, 没有战争, 因为耶和华赐他平安.

14:7 And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars while the land is before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought and he has given rest to us on every side.” So they built and had success.
他对犹大人说: “我们要建造这些城邑, 四围筑墙, 盖楼, 安门, 做闩; 地还属我们, 是因寻求耶和华─我们的神; 我们既寻求他, 他就赐我们四境平安. ”于是建造城邑, 诸事亨通.

14:8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah, bearing shields and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin who carried shields and drew bows. All of these were mighty warriors of strength.
亚撒的军兵, 出自犹大拿盾牌拿枪的三十万人; 出自便雅悯拿盾牌拉弓的二十八万人. 这都是大能的勇士.

14:9 Zerah the Cushite came out against them with an army of a thousand thousands and three hundred chariots. And he came to Mareshah.
有古实王谢拉率领军兵一百万, 战车三百辆, 出来攻击犹大人, 到了玛利沙.

14:10 And Asa went out before him, and a battle was put in order in the valley of Zepah at Mareshah.
于是亚撒出去与他迎敌, 就在玛利沙的洗法谷彼此摆阵.

14:11 Then Asa cried out to Yahweh his God. And he said, “O Yahweh, there is none with you to help between the great and the powerless. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for we rely upon you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Yahweh, you are our God! Let no man prevail against you!”
亚撒呼求耶和华─他的神说: “耶和华啊, 惟有你能帮助软弱的, 胜过强盛的. 耶和华─我们的神啊, 求你帮助我们; 因为我们仰赖你, 奉你的名来攻击这大军. 耶和华啊, 你是我们的神, 不要容人胜过你. ”

14:12 So Yahweh defeated the Cushites before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushites fled.
于是耶和华使古实人败在亚撒和犹大人面前, 古实人就逃跑了;

14:13 Then Asa and the army with him pursued them to Gerar. And many from the Cushites fell, for they had no deliverance, for they were shattered before Yahweh and before his army. And they carried away much war booty.
亚撒和跟随他的军兵追赶他们, 直到基拉耳. 古实人被杀的甚多, 不能再强盛, 因为败在耶和华与他军兵面前. 犹大人就夺了许多财物,

14:14 And they struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of Yahweh was upon them. And they plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
又打破基拉耳四围的城邑; 耶和华使其中的人都甚恐惧. 犹大人又将所有的城掳掠一空, 因其中的财物甚多,

14:15 And they also struck the tents of the herdsmen and carried away many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
又毁坏了群畜的圈, 夺取许多的羊和骆驼, 就回耶路撒冷去了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 15

15:1 Now Azariah the son of Oded—the Spirit of God came upon him.
神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅.

15:2 And he went out before Asa and said to him, “Hear me, O Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him. And if you will seek him he will be found by you. But if you forsake him he will forsake you.
他出来迎接亚撒, 对他说: “亚撒和犹大,便雅悯众人哪, 要听我说: 你们若顺从耶和华, 耶和华必与你们同在; 你们若寻求他, 就必寻见; 你们若离弃他, 他必离弃你们.

15:3 Now Israel has been without the true God many days, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
以色列人不信真神, 没有训诲的祭司, 也没有律法, 已经好久了;

15:4 but at its trouble he returned to Yahweh, the God of Israel. They sought him, and he was found by them.
但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华─以色列的神, 寻求他, 他就被他们寻见.

15:5 And in those times there was no peace for the one going out and the one coming in, for great tumults were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
那时, 出入的人不得平安, 列国的居民都遭大乱;

15:6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city was against city, for God threw them into confusion by all sorts of trouble.
这国攻击那国, 这城攻击那城, 互相破坏, 因为神用各样灾难扰乱他们.

15:7 But as for you, be strong and let not your hands be weak, for there is reward for your labor.”
现在你们要刚强, 不要手软, 因你们所行的必得赏赐. ”

15:8 And when Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the vile idols from all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim, and he repaired the altar of Yahweh that was in front of the portico of Yahweh.
亚撒听见这话和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言, 就壮起胆来, 在犹大,便雅悯全地, 并以法莲山地所夺的各城, 将可憎之物尽都除掉, 又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的坛;

15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those sojourning with them, from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for many had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
又招聚犹大,便雅悯的众人, 并他们中间寄居的以法莲人,玛拿西人,西缅人. 有许多以色列人归降亚撒, 因见耶和华─他的神与他同在.

15:10 And they were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
亚撒十五年三月, 他们都聚集在耶路撒冷.

15:11 And they sacrificed to Yahweh on that day from the war booty they brought back: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
当日他们从所取的掳物中, 将牛七百只,羊七千只献给耶和华.

15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and with all their inmost being,
他们就立约, 要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华─他们列祖的神.

15:13 but all who will not seek Yahweh the God of Israel should be killed, from young to old, from men to women.
凡不寻求耶和华─以色列神的, 无论大小,男女, 必被治死.

15:14 And they took an oath to Yahweh with a great voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with horns.
他们就大声欢呼, 吹号吹角, 向耶和华起誓.

15:15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they swore with all their heart. And they sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and Yahweh gave rest to them all around.
犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜; 因他们是尽心起誓, 尽意寻求耶和华, 耶和华就被他们寻见, 且赐他们四境平安.

15:16 And also Maacah, the mother of Asa, the king removed her from being queen, because she had made a repulsive image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her repulsive image, and he crushed and burned it at the Wadi Kidron.
亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位, 因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉. 亚撒砍下她的偶像, 捣得粉碎, 烧在汲沦溪边.

15:17 But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was fully devoted all his days.
只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去, 然而亚撒的心一生诚实.

15:18 And he brought the holy objects of his father and his own holy objects into the house of God—silver and gold and vessels.
亚撒将他父所分别为圣,与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到神的殿里.

15:19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
从这时直到亚撒三十五年, 都没有争战的事.

II Chronicles - Chapter 16

16:1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha the king of Israel went up against Judah. And he built Ramah in order not to allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa, king of Judah.
亚撒三十六年, 以色列王巴沙上来攻击犹大, 修筑拉玛, 不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入.

16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold from the storehouses of the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, and he sent them to Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,
于是亚撒从耶和华殿和王宫的府库里拿出金银来, 送与住大马士革的亚兰王便‧哈达, 说:

16:3 “There is a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I am sending you silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, that he might withdraw from me.”
“你父曾与我父立约, 我与你也要立约. 现在我将金银送给你, 求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约, 使他离开我. ”

16:4 And Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa, and he sent commanders of his troops that were with him against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel-Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
便‧哈达听从亚撒王的话, 派军长去攻击以色列的城邑. 他们就攻破以云,但,亚伯‧玛音, 和拿弗他利一切的积货城.

16:5 And it happened that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.
巴沙听见就停工, 不修筑拉玛了.

16:6 Then King Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
于是亚撒王率领犹大众人, 将巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头,木头都运去, 用以修筑迦巴和米斯巴.

16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “On account of your reliance upon the king of Aram, and since you did not rely on Yahweh your God, therefore the troops of the king of Aram escaped from your hand.
那时, 先见哈拿尼来见犹大王亚撒, 对他说: “因你仰赖亚兰王, 没有仰赖耶和华─你的神, 所以亚兰王的军兵脱离了你的手.

16:8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a mighty army with very abundant chariots and horsemen? And because of your reliance on Yahweh he gave them into your hand.
古实人,路比人的军队不是甚大吗? 战车马兵不是极多吗? 只因你仰赖耶和华, 他便将他们交在你手里.

16:9 For the eyes of Yahweh roam throughout all the earth to strengthen those whose heart is fully devoted to him. You have been foolish in this, for from now on you will have wars.”
耶和华的眼目遍察全地, 要显大能帮助向他心存诚实的人. 你这事行得愚昧; 此后, 你必有争战的事. ”

16:10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in the prison, for he was enraged with him concerning this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.
亚撒因此恼恨先见, 将他囚在监里. 那时亚撒也虐待一些人民.

16:11 Now behold, the words of Asa from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
亚撒所行的事, 自始至终都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上.

16:12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, he fell severely ill in his feet. But even in his illness he did not seek Yahweh, but only among the healers.
亚撒作王三十九年, 他脚上有病, 而且甚重. 病的时候没有求耶和华, 只求医生.

16:13 And Asa slept with his ancestors. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
他作王四十一年而死, 与他列祖同睡,

16:14 And they buried him in his burial site, which had been cut out for him in the city of David. And they laid him on the bier which they had filled with all kinds of spices made by the perfumers as a fragment ointment. And they made a great fire in his honor.
葬在大卫城自己所凿的坟墓里, 放在床上, 其床堆满各样馨香的香料, 就是按做香的作法调和的香料, 又为他烧了许多的物件.

II Chronicles - Chapter 17

17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
亚撒的儿子约沙法接续他作王, 奋勇自强, 防备以色列人,

17:2 And he put troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had taken.
安置军兵在犹大一切坚固城里, 又安置防兵在犹大地和他父亚撒所得以法莲的城邑中.

17:3 And Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of David his father and did not seek after the Baals,
耶和华与约沙法同在; 因为他行他祖大卫初行的道, 不寻求巴力,

17:4 but he sought after the God of his ancestors and walked in his commandments and not according to the works of Israel.
只寻求他父亲的神, 遵行他的诫命, 不效法以色列人的行为.

17:5 So Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had much wealth and honor.
所以耶和华坚定他的国, 犹大众人给他进贡; 约沙法大有尊荣资财.

17:6 And his heart was courageous in the ways of Yahweh. Moreover, he removed the high places and the Asherahs from Judah.
他高兴遵行耶和华的道, 并且从犹大除掉一切邱坛和木偶.

17:7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
他作王第三年, 就差遣臣子便亥伊勒,俄巴底,撒迦利雅,拿坦业,米该亚往犹大各城去教训百姓.

17:8 and with them the Levites Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah; and with them the priests Elisham and Joram.
同着他们有利未人示玛雅,尼探雅,西巴第雅,亚撒黑,示米拉末,约拿单,亚多尼雅,多比雅,驼巴多尼雅, 又有祭司以利沙玛,约兰同着他们.

17:9 And they taught in Judah, and the scroll of the law of Yahweh was with them when they went around in all the cities of Judah, and they taught the people.
他们带着耶和华的律法书, 走遍犹大各城教训百姓.

17:10 And the fear of Yahweh was upon all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, and they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
耶和华使犹大四围的列国都甚恐惧, 不敢与约沙法争战.

17:11 And some of the Philistines brought a gift and silver to Jehoshaphat as tribute. The Arabians also brought him seven thousand seven hundred sheep and seven thousand seven hundred goats.
有些非利士人与约沙法送礼物, 纳贡银. 阿拉伯人也送他公绵羊七千七百只, 公山羊七千七百只.

17:12 And Jehoshaphat grew greater and greater, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.
约沙法日渐强大, 在犹大建造营寨和积货城.

17:13 And he had many supplies in the cities of Judah and mighty warriors for battle in Jerusalem.
他在犹大城邑中有许多工程, 又在耶路撒冷有战士, 就是大能的勇士.

17:14 Now these were their enrollment by the house of their ancestors: of Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah, the commander, and with him were three hundred thousand mighty armed warriors;
他们的数目, 按著宗族, 记在下面: 犹大族的千夫长押拿为首率领大能的勇士─三十万;

17:15 and at his side, Jehohanan the commander, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand;
其次是, 千夫长约哈难率领大能的勇士─二十八万;

17:16 and at his side, Amasiah the son of Zicri, who had made a freewill offering to Yahweh, and with him were two hundred thousand mighty armed warriors.
其次是, 细基利的儿子亚玛斯雅〈他为耶和华牺牲自己〉率领大能的勇士─二十万.

17:17 And from Benjamin: Eliada, a powerful mighty warrior, and with him were two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
便雅悯族, 是大能的勇士以利雅大率领拿弓箭和盾牌的─二十万;

17:18 and at his side, Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand armed for war.
其次是, 约萨拔率领预备打仗的─十八万.

17:19 These were serving the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
这都是伺候王的, 还有王在犹大全地坚固城所安置的不在其内.

II Chronicles - Chapter 18

18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had much wealth and honor, and he became son-in-law to Ahab.
约沙法大有尊荣资财, 就与亚哈结亲.

18:2 And after some years he went down to Ahab in Samaria. And Ahab slaughtered many sheep and cattle for him and for the people who were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.
过了几年, 他下到撒马利亚去见亚哈; 亚哈为他和跟从他的人宰了许多牛羊, 劝他与自己同去攻取基列的拉末.

18:3 And Ahab the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go up with me to Ramoth-Gilead?” And he answered him, “I am as you are, and my people are as your people with you in war.”
以色列王亚哈问犹大王约沙法说: “你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末吗? ”他回答说: “你我不分彼此, 我的民与你的民一样, 必与你同去争战. ”

18:4 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Seek first of all the word of Yahweh.”
约沙法对以色列王说: “请你先求问耶和华. ”

18:5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men. And he said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we cease?” And they said, “Go up, since God will give it into the hand of the king.”
于是以色列王招聚先知四百人, 问他们说: “我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以? ”他们说: “可以上去, 因为神必将那城交在王的手里. ”

18:6 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here another prophet of Yahweh that we might inquire of him?”
约沙法说: “这里不是还有耶和华的先知, 我们可以求问他吗? ”

18:7 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom to seek Yahweh, but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always disaster. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah.” Then Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say thus.”
以色列王对约沙法说: “还有一个人, 是音拉的儿子米该雅. 我们可以托他求问耶和华, 只是我恨他; 因为他指着我所说的预言, 不说吉语, 常说凶言. ”约沙法说: “王不必这样说. ”

18:8 Then the king of Israel called to a eunuch and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
以色列王就召了一个太监来, 说: “你快去将音拉的儿子米该雅召来. ”

18:9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were each sitting on his throne, clothed in robes. And they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法在撒马利亚城门前的空场上, 各穿朝服坐在位上, 所有的先知都在他们面前说预言.

18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘With these you will gore Aram to their destruction.’ ”
基拿拿的儿子西底家造了两个铁角, 说: “耶和华如此说: ‘你要用这角牴触亚兰人, 直到将他们灭尽. ’”

18:11 And all the prophets prophesied thus, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and triumph! Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
所有的先知也都这样预言说: “可以上基列的拉末去, 必然得胜, 因为耶和华必将那城交在王的手中. ”

18:12 Then the messenger who went to call Micaiah said to him, “Behold, the words of the prophets are good with one voice to the king. Please let your word be as one with them and speak good.”
那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说: “众先知一口同音地都向王说吉言, 你不如与他们说一样的话, 也说吉言. ”

18:13 But Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, only what my God has said, that will I speak.”
米该雅说: “我指著永生的耶和华起誓, 我的神说甚么, 我就说甚么. ”

18:14 And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to war or shall I cease?” And he said, “Go up and triumph! They shall be given into your hand.”
米该雅到王面前, 王问他说: “米该雅啊, 我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以? ”他说: “可以上去, 必然得胜, 敌人必交在你们手里. ”

18:15 But the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you speak nothing except the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
王对他说: “我当嘱咐你几次, 你才奉耶和华的名向我说实话呢? ”

18:16 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains like sheep that had no shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘These have no masters; let them return to his own house in peace.’ ”
米该雅说: “我看见以色列众民散在山上, 如同没有牧人的羊群一般. 耶和华说: ‘这民没有主人, 他们可以平平安安地各归各家去. ’”

18:17 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
以色列王对约沙法说: “我岂没有告诉你, 这人指着我所说的预言, 不说吉语, 单说凶言吗? ”

18:18 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting upon his throne with all the host of heaven standing on his right and on his left.
米该雅说: “你们要听耶和华的话. 我看见耶和华坐在宝座上, 天上的万军侍立在他左右.

18:19 And Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab the king of Israel that he would go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?’ And one said this, and another said that.
耶和华说: ‘谁去引诱以色列王亚哈上基列的拉末去阵亡呢? ’这个就这样说, 那个就那样说.

18:20 Then a spirit came forth and stood before Yahweh and said, ‘I will entice him.’ Then Yahweh said to him, ‘By what means?’
随后, 有一个神灵出来, 站在耶和华面前说: ‘我去引诱他. ’耶和华问他说: ‘你用何法呢? ’

18:21 Then he said, ‘I will go forth and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘You will entice him and will also succeed. Go out and do so.’
他说: ‘我去, 要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵. ’耶和华说: ‘这样, 你必能引诱他, 你去如此行吧! ’

18:22 So now, behold, Yahweh has put a spirit of deception into the mouths of these your prophets. Yahweh has spoken disaster against you.”
现在耶和华使谎言的灵入了你这些先知的口, 并且耶和华已经命定降祸与你. ”

18:23 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh come from me to speak to you?”
基拿拿的儿子西底家前来打米该雅的脸, 说: “耶和华的灵从哪里离开我与你说话呢? ”

18:24 Then Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into a private room to hide yourself.”
米该雅说: “你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日, 就必看见了. ”

18:25 Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the commander of the city and to Jehoash the son of the king,
以色列王说: “将米该雅带回, 交给邑宰亚们和王的儿子约阿施, 说:

18:26 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this one into the prison house, and let him eat a meager ration of bread and water until I return in peace.” ’ ”
‘王如此说: 把这个人下在监里, 使他受苦, 吃不饱喝不足, 等候我平平安安地回来. ’”

18:27 And Micaiah said, “If you surely return in peace Yahweh has not spoken with me.” Then he said, “Hear, peoples, all of them!”
米该雅说: “你若能平安回来, 那就是耶和华没有藉我说这话了”; 又说: “众民哪, 你们都要听! ”

18:28 Then the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了.

18:29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you, wear your garments.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went to war.
以色列王对约沙法说: “我要改装上阵, 你可以仍穿王服. ”于是以色列王改装, 他们就上阵去了.

18:30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the commanders of his chariots, saying, “Do not fight with the small or the great, but only with the king of Israel.”
先是亚兰王吩咐车兵长说: “他们的兵将, 无论大小, 你们都不可与他们争战, 只要与以色列王争战. ”

18:31 And it happened that when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, then they said, “It is the king of Israel!” And they turned against him to fight. Then Jehoshaphat cried out and Yahweh helped him. God drove them away from him.
车兵长看见约沙法便说, 这必是以色列王, 就转过去与他争战. 约沙法一呼喊, 耶和华就帮助他, 神又感动他们离开他.

18:32 And it happened that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from following him.
车兵长见不是以色列王, 就转去不追他了.

18:33 Now a certain man drew the bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the soldering of his breastplate armor. Then he said to the chariot driver, “Turn around; get me away from the war camp, for I am wounded.”
有一人随便开弓, 恰巧射入以色列王的甲缝里. 王对赶车的说: “我受了重伤, 你转过车来, 拉我出阵吧! ”

18:34 And the battle went on that day, and the king of Israel was propped up in the chariot facing Aram until the evening. And he died at the time of the going down of the sun.
那日阵势越战越猛, 以色列王勉强站在车上抵挡亚兰人, 直到晚上. 约在日落的时候, 王就死了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 19

19:1 Then Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
犹大王约沙法平平安安地回耶路撒冷, 到宫里去了.

19:2 And Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him. And he said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you be a help to the wicked and love those who hate Yahweh? On account of this, wrath has come against you from Yahweh.
先见哈拿尼的儿子耶户出来迎接约沙法王, 对他说: “你岂当帮助恶人, 爱那恨恶耶和华的人呢? 因此耶和华的忿怒临到你.

19:3 Nevertheless some good things have been found in regard to you, for you burned the Asherahs out of the land and set your heart to seek God.”
然而你还有善行, 因你从国中除掉木偶, 立定心意寻求神.

19:4 And Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem and returned and went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
约沙法住在耶路撒冷, 以后又出巡民间, 从别是巴直到以法莲山地, 引导民归向耶和华─他们列祖的神;

19:5 And he appointed judges in the land and in all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city.
又在犹大国中遍地的坚固城里设立审判官,

19:6 And he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you are not judging for a man but for Yahweh. Now he is with you in speaking justice.
对他们说: “你们办事应当谨慎; 因为你们判断不是为人, 乃是为耶和华. 判断的时候, 他必与你们同在.

19:7 So now, let the fear of Yahweh be upon you all. Be careful what you do, for there is neither wickedness nor showing partiality and taking bribes with Yahweh our God.”
现在你们应当敬畏耶和华, 谨慎办事; 因为耶和华─我们的神没有不义, 不偏待人, 也不受贿赂. ”

19:8 Moreover, Jehoshaphat appointed in Jerusalem some of the Levites and the priests and heads of the families of Israel as judges and to decide legal disputes for Yahweh. And they sat in Jerusalem.
约沙法从利未人和祭司, 并以色列族长中派定人, 在耶路撒冷为耶和华判断, 听民间的争讼, 就回耶路撒冷去了.

19:9 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you must do in the fear of Yahweh in faithfulness and with a whole heart.
约沙法嘱咐他们说: “你们当敬畏耶和华, 忠心诚实办事.

19:10 Any legal dispute that comes before you from your brothers who live in their cities concerning bloodguilt, law, commandment, statutes, and justice, you must warn them, so that they do not incur guilt before Yahweh, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brothers. Thus you must do that you do not incur guilt.
住在各城里你们的弟兄, 若有争讼的事来到你们这里, 或为流血, 或犯律法,诫命,律例,典章, 你们要警戒他们, 免得他们得罪耶和华, 以致他的忿怒临到你们和你们的弟兄; 这样行, 你们就没有罪了.

19:11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the word of Yahweh, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all matters of the king, and the Levites shall be before you as officials. Be strong and do well! May Yahweh be with the upright.”
凡属耶和华的事, 有大祭司亚玛利雅管理你们; 凡属王的事, 有犹大支派的族长以实玛利的儿子西巴第雅管理你们; 在你们面前有利未人作官长. 你们应当壮胆办事, 愿耶和华与善人同在. ”

II Chronicles - Chapter 20

20:1 And it happened that afterward, the Moabites, the Ammonites, and some of the Meunites came against Jehoshaphat for war.
此后, 摩押人和亚扪人, 又有米乌尼人, 一同来攻击约沙法.

20:2 And they came and reported it to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude from beyond the sea, from Aram, is coming against you. Now behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
有人来报告约沙法说: “从海外亚兰(又作以东)那边有大军来攻击你, 如今他们在哈洗逊‧他玛, 就是隐‧基底. ”

20:3 Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek Yahweh. And he called for a fast through all Judah.
约沙法便惧怕, 定意寻求耶和华, 在犹大全地宣告禁食.

20:4 And Judah assembled to seek after Yahweh; even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek Yahweh.
于是犹大人聚会, 求耶和华帮助. 犹大各城都有人出来寻求耶和华.

20:5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh before the new courtyard.
约沙法就在犹大和耶路撒冷的会中, 站在耶和华殿的新院前,

20:6 And he said, “O Yahweh, God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven? Now you rule in all the kingdoms of the nations, and in your hand are power and might, and there is none who can resist against you.
说: “耶和华─我们列祖的神啊, 你不是天上的神吗? 你不是万邦万国的主宰吗? 在你手中有大能大力, 无人能抵挡你.

20:7 O, our God, did you yourself not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it to the descendants of Abraham your friend forever?
我们的神啊, 你不是曾在你民以色列人面前驱逐这地的居民, 将这地赐给你朋友亚伯拉罕的后裔永远为业吗?

20:8 And they lived in it and built for you a sanctuary for your name in it, saying,
他们住在这地, 又为你的名建造圣所, 说:

20:9 ‘If disaster, a sword, punishment, disease, or famine come upon us, we shall stand before this house and before you—for your name is in this house—and cry out to you out of our trouble, then you will hear and save us.’
‘倘有祸患临到我们, 或刀兵灾殃, 或瘟疫饥荒, 我们在急难的时候, 站在这殿前向你呼求, 你必垂听而拯救, 因为你的名在这殿里. ’

20:10 And now, look, the people of Moab and Ammon and Mount Seir whom you did not allow Israel to come against when they came from Egypt, from whom they turned aside and did not destroy,
从前以色列人出埃及地的时候, 你不容以色列人侵犯亚扪人,摩押人, 和西珥山人, 以色列人就离开他们, 不灭绝他们.

20:11 now behold, they are rewarding us by coming to dispossess us from your possession which you gave us as an inheritance.
看哪, 他们怎样报复我们, 要来驱逐我们出离你的地, 就是你赐给我们为业之地.

20:12 O our God, will you not judge them, for there is no power in us before this great multitude that is coming against us. Now we do not know what we shall do, for our eyes are upon you.”
我们的神啊, 你不惩罚他们吗? 因为我们无力抵挡这来攻击我们的大军, 我们也不知道怎样行, 我们的眼目单仰望你. ”

20:13 And all Judah was standing before Yahweh, and also their little children, their wives, and their children.
犹大众人和他们的婴孩,妻子,儿女都站在耶和华面前.

20:14 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite from the descendants of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.
那时, 耶和华的灵在会中临到利未人亚萨的后裔─玛探雅的玄孙, 耶利的曾孙, 比拿雅的孙子, 撒迦利雅的儿子雅哈悉.

20:15 And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat, thus says Yahweh to you: ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed before this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
他说: “犹大众人,耶路撒冷的居民, 和约沙法王, 你们请听. 耶和华对你们如此说: ‘不要因这大军恐惧惊惶; 因为胜败不在乎你们, 乃在乎神.

20:16 Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up the ascent of Ziz. And you will find them at the end of the valley facing the desert of Jeruel.
明日你们要下去迎敌, 他们是从洗斯坡上来, 你们必在耶鲁伊勒旷野前的谷口遇见他们.

20:17 There will be no need for you to fight in this battle. Take your stand! Stand and see the deliverance of Yahweh among you, O Judah and Jerusalem! Do not fear and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out before them and Yahweh will be with you.’ ”
犹大和耶路撒冷人哪, 这次你们不要争战, 要摆阵站着, 看耶和华为你们施行拯救. 不要恐惧, 也不要惊惶. 明日当出去迎敌, 因为耶和华与你们同在. ’”

20:18 Then Jehoshaphat bowed his face down to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before Yahweh to worship Yahweh.
约沙法就面伏于地, 犹大众人和耶路撒冷的居民也俯伏在耶和华面前, 叩拜耶和华.

20:19 Then the Levites, from the Kohathites and from the Korahites stood up to praise Yahweh the God of Israel with an exceedingly loud voice.
哥辖族和可拉族的利未人都起来, 用极大的声音赞美耶和华以色列的神.

20:20 And they rose up early in the morning and went out to the desert of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, and you shall be established! Believe in his prophets, and you shall succeed!”
次日清早, 众人起来往提哥亚的旷野去. 出去的时候, 约沙法站着说: “犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪, 要听我说: 信耶和华─你们的神就必立稳; 信他的先知就必亨通. ”

20:21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed singers to Yahweh who were giving praise to the splendor of his holiness when they went out before the army. And they said, “Give thanks to Yahweh, for his loyal love is everlasting!”
约沙法既与民商议了, 就设立歌唱的人, 颂赞耶和华, 使他们穿上圣洁的礼服, 走在军前赞美耶和华说: “当称谢耶和华, 因他的慈爱永远长存! ”

20:22 And when they began with singing and praise, Yahweh set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who were coming against Judah. And they were defeated
众人方唱歌赞美的时候, 耶和华就派伏兵击杀那来攻击犹大人的亚扪人,摩押人, 和西珥山人, 他们就被打败了.

20:23 when the people of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to destroy and demolish them. And when the inhabitants of Seir had made an end of them, each helped to destroy his comrade.
因为亚扪人和摩押人起来, 击杀住西珥山的人, 将他们灭尽; 灭尽住西珥山的人之后, 他们又彼此自相击杀.

20:24 And Judah came against the watchtower of the wilderness. And they looked at the crowd, and behold, corpses were lying on the ground. There was none who had escaped.
犹大人来到旷野的望楼, 向那大军观看, 见尸横遍地, 没有一个逃脱的.

20:25 When Jehoshaphat came with his people to plunder their booty, they found among them in abundance possessions, corpses, and precious items. And they took plunder for themselves until they could carry no more. And they were three days in plundering the booty, for it was abundant.
约沙法和他的百姓就来收取敌人的财物, 在尸首中见了许多财物,珍宝, 他们剥脱下来的多得不可携带; 因为甚多, 直收取了三日.

20:26 And on the fourth day, they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, for there they blessed Yahweh. Therefore the name of that place is called the Valley of Berakah up to this day.
第四日众人聚集在比拉迦谷(就是称颂的意思), 在那里称颂耶和华. 因此那地方名叫比拉迦谷, 直到今日.

20:27 And all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned, and Jehoshaphat was at their head in returning to Jerusalem with joy, for Yahweh caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
犹大人和耶路撒冷人都欢欢喜喜地回耶路撒冷, 约沙法率领他们; 因为耶和华使他们战胜仇敌, 就欢喜快乐.

20:28 And they came to Jerusalem with harps, stringed instruments, and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.
他们弹琴,鼓瑟,吹号来到耶路撒冷, 进了耶和华的殿.

20:29 And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the earth when they heard that Yahweh had fought against the enemies of Israel.
列邦诸国听见耶和华战败以色列的仇敌, 就甚惧怕.

20:30 So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at rest, since his God gave rest to him all around.
这样, 约沙法的国得享太平, 因为神赐他四境平安.

20:31 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. And he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
约沙法作犹大王, 登基的时候年三十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二十五年. 他母亲名叫阿苏巴, 乃示利希的女儿.

20:32 And he walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn aside from it, to do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
约沙法效法他父亚撒所行的, 不偏左右, 行耶和华眼中看为正的事.

20:33 Only the high places were not removed. The people still had not yet set their heart on the God of their ancestors.
只是邱坛还没有废去, 百姓也没有立定心意归向他们列祖的神.

20:34 Now the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the chronicles of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are recorded in the scroll of the kings of Israel.
约沙法其余的事, 自始至终都写在哈拿尼的儿子耶户的书上, 也载入以色列诸王记上.

20:35 And afterward Jehoshaphat the king of Judah joined with Ahaziah the king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
此后, 犹大王约沙法与以色列王亚哈谢交好; 亚哈谢行恶太甚.

20:36 He joined with him to build ships to go to Tarshish. And they built the ships in Ezion Geber.
二王合伙造船要往他施去, 遂在以旬．迦别造船.

20:37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because of your joining with Ahaziah, Yahweh will break down your works.” And the ships were destroyed and were not able to go to Tarshish.
那时玛利沙人,多大瓦的儿子以利以谢向约沙法预言说: “因你与亚哈谢交好, 耶和华必破坏你所造的. ”后来那船果然破坏, 不能往他施去了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 21

21:1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
约沙法与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里. 他儿子约兰接续他作王.

21:2 Now he had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.
约兰有几个兄弟, 就是约沙法的儿子亚撒利雅,耶歇,撒迦利雅,亚撒列夫,米迦勒,示法提雅. 这都是犹大王约沙法的儿子.

21:3 And their father gave to them many gifts of silver, gold, and valuables, with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, for he was the firstborn.
他们的父亲将许多金银,财宝, 和犹大地的坚固城赐给他们; 但将国赐给约兰, 因为他是长子.

21:4 When Jehoram ascended to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and murdered all his brothers with the sword, and even some of the princes of Israel.
约兰兴起坐他父的位, 奋勇自强, 就用刀杀了他的众兄弟和以色列的几个首领.

21:5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
约兰登基的时候年三十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王八年.

21:6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did evil in the sight of Yahweh.
他行以色列诸王的道, 与亚哈家一样; 因他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事.

21:7 But Yahweh was not willing to destroy the house of David on account of the covenant that he had made with David and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his descendants forever.
耶和华却因自己与大卫所立的约, 不肯灭大卫的家, 照他所应许的, 永远赐灯光与大卫和他的子孙.

21:8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set up a king of their own.
约兰年间, 以东人背叛犹大, 脱离他的权下, 自己立王.

21:9 Then Jehoram passed over with his commanders and all the chariots with him, and when night came he struck Edom who was all around him and the commanders of his chariots.
约兰就率领军长和所有的战车, 夜间起来, 攻击围困他的以东人和车兵长.

21:10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah until this day. Then Libnah also revolted at that time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his ancestors.
这样, 以东人背叛犹大, 脱离他的权下, 直到今日. 那时, 立拿人也背叛了, 因为约兰离弃耶和华─他列祖的神.

21:11 Moreover, he made high places in the hill country of Judah, and he enticed the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful, and he led Judah astray.
他又在犹大诸山建筑邱坛, 使耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫, 诱惑犹大人.

21:12 And a letter from Elijah the prophet came to him, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father: ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father or in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah,
先知以利亚达信与约兰说: “耶和华─你祖大卫的神如此说: ‘因为你不行你父约沙法和犹大王亚撒的道,

21:13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unfaithful like the unfaithfulness of the house of Ahab, and have also murdered your brothers of the house of your father who were better than you,
乃行以色列诸王的道, 使犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫, 像亚哈家一样, 又杀了你父家比你好的诸兄弟.

21:14 behold, Yahweh is inflicting a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,
故此, 耶和华降大灾与你的百姓和你的妻子,儿女, 并你一切所有的.

21:15 and you yourself will be afflicted with great illness, with sickness in your bowels, until your bowels come out on account of the illness, day by day.’ ”
你的肠子必患病, 日加沉重, 以致你的肠子坠落下来. ’”

21:16 And Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who were near the Cushites against Jehoram.
以后, 耶和华激动非利士人和靠近古实的阿拉伯人来攻击约兰.

21:17 And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions found in the house of the king, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz his youngest son.
他们上来攻击犹大, 侵入境内, 掳掠了王宫里所有的财货和他的妻子,儿女, 除了他小儿子约哈斯(又名亚哈谢)之外, 没有留下一个儿子.

21:18 And after all this Yahweh afflicted him in his bowels with an illness for which there was no cure.
这些事以后, 耶和华使约兰的肠子患不能医治的病.

21:19 And it happened that after many days, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of his illness, and he died in terrible agony. And his people did not make a fire for him like the fire for his ancestors.
他患此病缠绵日久, 过了二年, 肠子坠落下来, 病重而死. 他的民没有为他烧甚么物件, 像从前为他列祖所烧的一样.

21:20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one’s regret. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the burial sites of the kings.
约兰登基的时候年三十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王八年. 他去世无人思慕, 众人葬他在大卫城, 只是不在列王的坟墓里.

II Chronicles - Chapter 22

22:1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the band of men who had come with the Arabs to the camp had murdered all the older sons. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
耶路撒冷的居民立约兰的小儿子亚哈谢接续他作王; 因为跟随阿拉伯人来攻营的军兵曾杀了亚哈谢的众兄长. 这样, 犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢作了王.

22:2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
亚哈谢登基的时候年四十二岁(列王下八章二十六节是二十二岁), 在耶路撒冷作王一年. 他母亲名叫亚她利雅, 是暗利的孙女.

22:3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor for doing wickedness.
亚哈谢也行亚哈家的道; 因为他母亲给他主谋, 使他行恶.

22:4 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh as the house of Ahab had done, for they were his counselors to his destruction after the death of his father.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 像亚哈家一样; 因他父亲死后有亚哈家的人给他主谋, 以致败坏.

22:5 He also walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-Gilead. And the Arameans wounded Joram.
他听从亚哈家的计谋, 同以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰往基列的拉末去, 与亚兰王哈薛争战; 亚兰人打伤了约兰.

22:6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds he had suffered at Ramah, when he made war against Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel for he was sick.
约兰回到耶斯列, 医治在拉末与亚兰王哈薛打仗所受的伤, 犹大王约兰的儿子亚撒利雅(就是亚哈谢)因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了, 就下到耶斯列看望他.

22:7 But the downfall of Ahaziah was from God, and intended to come to Joram. And when he came, he went out with Jehoram to Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
亚哈谢去见约兰就被害了, 这是出乎神; 因为他到了, 就同约兰出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户. 这耶户是耶和华所膏,使他剪除亚哈家的.

22:8 And it happened that when Jehu was judging the house of Ahab, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah who ministered to Ahaziah, and he killed them.
耶户讨亚哈家罪的时候, 遇见犹大的众首领和亚哈谢的众姪子服事亚哈谢, 就把他们都杀了.

22:9 And he searched for Ahaziah and captured him. And he was hiding in Samaria. And they brought him to Jehu and put him to death. And they buried him, for they said, “He is the descendant of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with his whole heart.” And the house of Ahab had no one to exercise power over the kingdom.
亚哈谢藏在撒马利亚, 耶户寻找他, 众人将他拿住, 送到耶户那里, 就杀了他, 将他葬埋; 因他们说, 他是那尽心寻求耶和华之约沙法的儿子. 这样, 亚哈谢的家无力保守国权.

22:10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and murdered all the royal descendants of the house of Judah.
亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了, 就起来剿灭犹大王室.

22:11 But Jehosheba the daughter of the king took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and kidnapped him away from the sons of the king who were to be put to death. And she put him and his nurse in a private bedroom. So Jehosheba the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him from before Athaliah so that she did not put him to death.
但王的女儿约示巴将亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那被杀的王子中偷出来, 把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里. 约示巴是约兰王的女儿, 亚哈谢的妹子, 祭司耶何耶大的妻. 她收藏约阿施, 躲避亚她利雅, 免得被杀.

22:12 And he was hidden with them in the house of God six years, but Athaliah reigned over the land.
约阿施和她们一同藏在神殿里六年; 亚她利雅篡了国位.

II Chronicles - Chapter 23

23:1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself and took with him into a covenant relationship the commanders of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zicri.
第七年, 耶何耶大奋勇自强, 将百夫长耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅, 约哈难的儿子以实玛利, 俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅, 亚大雅的儿子玛西雅, 细基利的儿子以利沙法召来, 与他们立约.

23:2 And they went around in Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
他们走遍犹大, 从犹大各城里招聚利未人和以色列的众族长到耶路撒冷来.

23:3 And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, “Behold, the son of the king shall reign as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
会众在神殿里与王立约. 耶何耶大对他们说: “看哪, 王的儿子必当作王, 正如耶和华指著大卫子孙所应许的话”;

23:4 This is the thing that you must do: one third of you priests and Levites coming off duty on the Sabbath shall be gatekeepers at the entrances,
又说: “你们当这样行: 祭司和利未人凡安息日进班的, 三分之一要把守各门,

23:5 and one third at the house of the king, and one third at the Gate of the Foundation. And all the people shall be in the courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
三分之一要在王宫, 三分之一要在基址门; 众百姓要在耶和华殿的院内.

23:6 Let no one enter into the house of Yahweh except the priests and the ministering Levites. They themselves may enter, for they are holy, but all the people shall keep the requirements of Yahweh.
除了祭司和供职的利未人之外, 不准别人进耶和华的殿; 惟独他们可以进去, 因为他们圣洁. 众百姓要遵守耶和华所吩咐的.

23:7 And the Levites shall surround the king all around, each with his weapons in his hand. And whoever comes into the house shall be put to death. You shall be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
利未人要手中各拿兵器, 四围护卫王; 凡擅入殿宇的, 必当治死. 王出入的时候, 你们当跟随他. ”

23:8 And the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And they each took his men who were coming off duty on the Sabbath with the ones going out to duty on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the working groups.
利未人和犹大众人都照着祭司耶何耶大一切所吩咐的去行, 各带所管安息日进班出班的人来, 因为祭司耶何耶大不许他们下班.

23:9 And Jehoiada the priest gave the spears and small shields that had belonged to King David that were in the house of God to the commanders of hundreds.
祭司耶何耶大便将神殿里所藏大卫王的枪,盾牌,挡牌交给百夫长,

23:10 And he appointed all the people, each with his weapon in his hand from the south side of the house to the north side of the house around the altar and the house.
又分派众民手中各拿兵器, 在坛和殿那里, 从殿右直到殿左, 站在王子的四围;

23:11 Then they brought out the son of the king and set upon him the crown and gave him the statute and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, “Long live the king!”
于是领王子出来, 给他戴上冠冕, 将律法书交给他, 立他作王. 耶何耶大和众子膏他, 众人说: “愿王万岁! ”

23:12 When Athaliah heard the sound of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people at the house of Yahweh.
亚她利雅听见民奔走赞美王的声音, 就到民那里, 进耶和华的殿,

23:13 And she looked and, behold, the king was standing by his column at the entrance, and the commanders and trumpeters beside the king, along with all the people of the land, rejoicing and blowing with trumpets, and the singers with the instruments of song leading the praise. And Athaliah tore her garments and cried, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
看见王站在殿门的柱旁, 百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右, 国民都欢乐吹号, 又有歌唱的, 用各样的乐器领人歌唱赞美; 亚她利雅就撕裂衣服, 喊叫说: “反了! 反了! ”

23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of the hundreds appointed over the troops, and he said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and whoever goes after her shall be put to death with the sword.” For the priest had said, “You must not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
祭司耶何耶大带管辖军兵的百夫长出来, 吩咐他们说: “将她赶到班外, 凡跟随她的必用刀杀死! ”因为祭司说: “不可在耶和华殿里杀她. ”

23:15 And they laid hands on her, and she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the house of the king, and they killed her there.
众兵就闪开, 让她去; 她走到王宫的马门, 便在那里把她杀了.

23:16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
耶何耶大与众民和王立约, 都要作耶和华的民.

23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and broke it down. And they smashed his altars and his images, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
于是众民都到巴力庙, 拆毁了庙, 打碎坛和像, 又在坛前将巴力的祭司玛坦杀了.

23:18 And Jehoiada placed appointees at the house of Yahweh under the hand of the Levitical priests whom David had allotted to the house of Yahweh to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh as was written in the law of Moses, with joy and with song, according to the order of David.
耶何耶大派官看守耶和华的殿, 是在祭司利未人手下. 这祭司利未人是大卫分派在耶和华殿中,照摩西律法上所写的, 给耶和华献燔祭, 又按大卫所定的例, 欢乐歌唱;

23:19 And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of Yahweh so that no person unclean with respect to any matter could enter.
且设立守门的把守耶和华殿的各门, 无论为何事, 不洁净的人都不准进去.

23:20 And he took the commanders of hundreds, the noblemen, the governors over the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of Yahweh. And they came through the upper gate to the house of the king, and they set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
又率领百夫长和贵冑, 与民间的官长, 并国中的众民, 请王从耶和华殿下来, 由上门进入王宫, 立王坐在国位上.

23:21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword.
国民都欢乐, 合城都安静. 众人已将亚她利雅用刀杀了.

II Chronicles - Chapter 24

24:1 Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Zibiah from Beersheba.
约阿施登基的时候年七岁, 在耶路撒冷作王四十年. 他母亲名叫西比亚, 是别是巴人.

24:2 And Joash did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
祭司耶何耶大在世的时候, 约阿施行耶和华眼中看为正的事.

24:3 And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he fathered sons and daughters.
耶何耶大为他娶了两个妻, 并且生儿养女.

24:4 And afterward it was in the heart of Joash to repair the house of Yahweh.
此后, 约阿施有意重修耶和华的殿,

24:5 So he gathered the priests and the Levites and said to them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and gather money from all Israel to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year. Now you yourselves must hasten to the matter.” But the Levites did not act with haste.
便召聚众祭司和利未人, 吩咐他们说: “你们要往犹大各城去, 使以色列众人捐纳银子, 每年可以修理你们神的殿; 你们要急速办理这事. ”只是利未人不急速办理.

24:6 So the king called Jehoiada the chief, and he said to him, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax of Moses, the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel for the tent of the testimony?”
王召了大祭司耶何耶大来, 对他说: “从前耶和华的仆人摩西, 为法柜的帐幕与以色列会众所定的捐项, 你为何不叫利未人照这例从犹大和耶路撒冷带来作殿的费用呢?

24:7 For the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had used all the holy vessels of the house of Yahweh for the Baals.
(因为那恶妇亚她利雅的众子曾拆毁神的殿, 又用耶和华殿中分别为圣的物供奉巴力. )

24:8 Then the king commanded, and they made a chest and put it at the gate outside the house of Yahweh.
于是王下令, 众人做了一柜, 放在耶和华殿的门外,

24:9 And they issued a proclamation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring to Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God had levied upon Israel in the wilderness.
又通告犹大和耶路撒冷的百姓, 要将神仆人摩西在旷野所吩咐以色列人的捐项给耶和华送来.

24:10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and they brought their tax and threw it into the chest until it was finished.
众首领和百姓都欢欢喜喜地将银子送来, 投入柜中, 直到捐完.

24:11 And whenever he brought the chest to the appointee of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money in it, then the secretary of the king and the officer of the chief priest came and emptied the chest, then they took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day and gathered money in abundance.
利未人见银子多了, 就把柜抬到王所派的司事面前; 王的书记和大祭司的属员来将柜倒空, 仍放在原处. 日日都是这样, 积蓄的银子甚多.

24:12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh. And they hired stonemasons and skilled craftsmen to restore the house of Yahweh, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of Yahweh.
王与耶何耶大将银子交给耶和华殿里办事的人, 他们就雇了石匠,木匠重修耶和华的殿, 又雇了铁匠,铜匠修理耶和华的殿.

24:13 So those doing the work labored, and the restoration for the work made progress under their hand. And they restored the house of God to its position and strengthened it.
工人操作, 渐渐修成, 将神殿修造得与从前一样, 而且甚是坚固.

24:14 And when they had finished, they brought the remainder of the money before the king and Jehoiada, and they used it for objects for the house of Yahweh, objects for the service and the burnt offerings, dishes, and objects of gold and silver. And they were offering burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh regularly, all the days of Jehoiada.
工程完了, 他们就把其余的银子拿到王与耶何耶大面前, 用以制造耶和华殿供奉所用的器皿和调羹, 并金银的器皿. 耶何耶大在世的时候, 众人常在耶和华殿里献燔祭.

24:15 And Jehoiada grew old and full of days, and he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old at his death.
耶何耶大年纪老迈, 日子满足而死. 死的时候年一百三十岁,

24:16 And they buried him in the city of David with the kings, for he did good in Israel and with respect to God and his house.
葬在大卫城列王的坟墓里; 因为他在以色列人中行善, 又事奉神, 修理神的殿.

24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada, the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king. Then the king listened to them.
耶何耶大死后, 犹大的众首领来朝拜王; 王就听从他们.

24:18 And they forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors and served the Asherahs and the idols. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem on account of this guilt.
他们离弃耶和华─他们列祖神的殿, 去事奉亚舍拉和偶像; 因他们这罪, 就有忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷.

24:19 But he sent prophets among them, to bring them back to Yahweh. And they testified against them, and they did not obey.
但神仍遣先知到他们那里, 引导他们归向耶和华. 这先知警戒他们, 他们却不肯听.

24:20 Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people and said to them, “Thus says God: ‘Why are you transgressing the commandments of Yahweh so that you will not succeed? For you have forsaken Yahweh, so he will forsake you.’ ”
那时, 神的灵感动祭司耶何耶大的儿子撒迦利亚, 他就站在上面对民说: “神如此说: 你们为何干犯耶和华的诫命, 以致不得亨通呢? 因为你们离弃耶和华, 所以他也离弃你们. ”

24:21 Then they conspired against him and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
众民同心谋害撒迦利亚, 就照王的吩咐, 在耶和华殿的院内用石头打死他.

24:22 So King Joash did not remember the loyal love that Jehoiada had shown to him, and he killed his son. And as he was dying he said, “May Yahweh see and avenge!”
这样, 约阿施王不想念撒迦利亚的父亲耶何耶大向自己所施的恩, 杀了他的儿子. 撒迦利亚临死的时候说: “愿耶和华鉴察伸冤! ”

24:23 And it happened at the turn of the year that the army of Aram went up against him, and they came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the commanders of the people from among the people, and all the war booty they sent to the king of Damascus.
满了一年, 亚兰的军兵上来攻击约阿施, 来到犹大和耶路撒冷, 杀了民中的众首领, 将所掠的财货送到大马士革王那里.

24:24 Though the army of Aram came with few men, Yahweh gave a very large army into their hand, for they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their ancestors. And they inflicted punishment on Joash.
亚兰的军兵虽来了一小队, 耶和华却将大队的军兵交在他们手里, 是因犹大人离弃耶和华─他们列祖的神, 所以藉亚兰人惩罚约阿施.

24:25 And when they were going away from him (for they had left him with many wounds), his servants conspired against him on account of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest. So they killed him on his bed and he died. And they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him at the burial sites of the kings.
亚兰人离开约阿施的时候, 他患重病; 臣仆背叛他, 要报祭司耶何耶大儿子流血之仇, 杀他在床上, 葬他在大卫城, 只是不葬在列王的坟墓里.

24:26 Now these are the ones who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath, the Ammonite, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith, the Moabite.
背叛他的是亚扪妇人示米押的儿子撒拔和摩押妇人示米利的儿子约萨拔.

24:27 And as for his sons, the many oracles against him, and his repair of the foundation of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the scroll of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
至于他的众子和他所受的警戒, 并他重修神殿的事, 都写在列王的传上. 他儿子亚玛谢接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 25

25:1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king. And he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Jehoaddan from Jerusalem.
亚玛谢登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二十九年. 他母亲名叫约耶但, 是耶路撒冷人.

25:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only not with a fully-devoted heart.
亚玛谢行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 只是心不专诚.

25:3 And it happened that as his reign was strengthened, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
国一坚定, 就把杀他父王的臣仆杀了,

25:4 But he did not put their children to death, according to what is written in the law, in the scroll of Moses, where Yahweh commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death on account of the sons, and the sons shall not be put to death on account of the fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”
却没有治死他们的儿子, 是照摩西律法书上耶和华所吩咐的说: “不可因子杀父, 也不可因父杀子, 各人要为本身的罪而死. ”

25:5 Then Amaziah assembled the men of Judah and set them by families under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. And he counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be three hundred thousand chosen for going out to battle, able with spear and shield.
亚玛谢招聚犹大人, 按著犹大和便雅悯的宗族设立千夫长,百夫长, 又数点人数, 从二十岁以外, 能拿枪拿盾牌出去打仗的精兵共有三十万;

25:6 And he hired from Israel one hundred thousand strong, mighty warriors for one hundred talents.
又用银子一百他连得, 从以色列招募了十万大能的勇士.

25:7 But a man of God came to him, saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, all the Ephraimites.
有一个神人来见亚玛谢, 对他说: “王啊, 不要使以色列的军兵与你同去, 因为耶和华不与以色列人以法莲的后裔同在.

25:8 But even still, you yourself go, do! Be strong for the battle else God will make you stumble before the enemy! For there is power with God to help and to cause stumbling.”
你若一定要去, 就奋勇争战吧! 但神必使你败在敌人面前; 因为神能助人得胜, 也能使人倾败. ”

25:9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, “Now what should I do with the one hundred talents that I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God said, “Yahweh is able to give to you more than this.”
亚玛谢问神人说: “我给了以色列军的那一百他连得银子怎么样呢? ”神人回答说: “耶和华能把更多的赐给你. ”

25:10 Then Amaziah dismissed the troops that came to him from Ephraim to go to their home. And they became very angry with Judah, and they returned to their home in great anger.
于是亚玛谢将那从以法莲来的军兵分别出来, 叫他们回家去. 故此, 他们甚恼怒犹大人, 气忿忿地回家去了.

25:11 Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his army, he went to the Valley of Salt. And he struck down ten thousand men of Seir.
亚玛谢壮起胆来, 率领他的民到盐谷, 杀了西珥人一万.

25:12 Now the troops captured ten thousand others alive, and they brought them to the top of the rock and threw them from the top of the rock. So all of them were smashed to pieces.
犹大人又生擒了一万带到山崖上, 从那里把他们扔下去, 以致他们都摔碎了.

25:13 As for the troops Amaziah had sent back from going with him to war, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth-Horon. And they struck down three thousand of them and plundered much booty.
但亚玛谢所打发回去,不许一同出征的那些军兵攻打犹大各城, 从撒马利亚直到伯．和仑, 杀了三千人, 抢了许多财物.

25:14 And it happened that after Amaziah came back from killing the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, and he stood them up to himself as gods and bowed down before them and make smoke offerings for them.
亚玛谢杀了以东人回来, 就把西珥的神像带回, 立为自己的神, 在它面前叩拜烧香.

25:15 So Yahweh became very angry with Amaziah and sent a prophet to him, and he said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people who could not deliver their own people from your hand?”
因此, 耶和华的怒气向亚玛谢发作, 就差一个先知去见他, 说: “这些神不能救它的民脱离你的手, 你为何寻求它呢? ”

25:16 And it happened that while he was speaking to him, he said to him, “Have we appointed you as a counselor to the king? Stop—why should you be killed?” So the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my advice.”
先知与王说话的时候, 王对他说: “谁立你作王的谋士呢? 你住口吧! 为何找打呢? ”先知就止住了, 又说: “你行这事, 不听从我的劝戒, 我知道神定意要灭你. ”

25:17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and he sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another.
犹大王亚玛谢与群臣商议, 就差遣使者去见耶户的孙子,约哈斯的儿子,以色列王约阿施, 说: “你来, 我们二人相见于战场. ”

25:18 And Joash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn bush that is in Lebanon has sent to the cedar which is in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ But a wild animal of the field that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thorn bush.
以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢, 说: “黎巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去见黎巴嫩的香柏树, 说: ‘将你的女儿给我儿子为妻. ’后来黎巴嫩有一个野兽经过, 把蒺藜践踏了.

25:19 Look, you say that you have struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up to boast. Now remain at your home. Why stir up disaster that you fall, you and Judah with you?”
你说: ‘看哪, 我打败了以东人’, 你就心高气傲, 以致矜夸. 你在家里安居就罢了, 为何要惹祸使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢? ”

25:20 But Amaziah did not listen, for it was from God that he might give them into the hand of enemies, because they sought the gods of Edom.
亚玛谢却不肯听从. 这是出乎神, 好将他们交在敌人手里, 因为他们寻求以东的神.

25:21 So Joash the king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah the king of Judah faced one another at Beth-Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
于是以色列王约阿施上来, 在犹大的伯‧示麦与犹大王亚玛谢相见于战场.

25:22 And Judah was defeated before Israel, and each man fled to his tent.
犹大人败在以色列人面前, 各自逃回家里去了.

25:23 And Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah the king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-Shemesh. And they brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits.
以色列王约阿施在伯‧示麦擒住约哈斯(就是亚哈谢)的孙子,约阿施的儿子,犹大王亚玛谢, 将他带到耶路撒冷, 又拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙, 从以法莲门直到角门, 共四百肘;

25:24 Then with all the gold and silver, all the objects found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, the storehouses of the house of the king, and the hostages, he returned to Samaria.
又将俄别‧以东所看守神殿里的一切金银和器皿, 与王宫里的财宝都拿了去, 并带人去为质, 就回撒马利亚去了.

25:25 And Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel, fifteen years.
以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后, 犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢又活了十五年.

25:26 Now the remainder of the words of Amaziah, from the first to the last, behold, are they not written in the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel?
亚玛谢其余的事, 自始至终不都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上吗?

25:27 And from the time that Amaziah turned away from Yahweh, they had plotted a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
自从亚玛谢离弃耶和华之后, 在耶路撒冷有人背叛他, 他就逃到拉吉; 叛党却打发人到拉吉, 将他杀了.

25:28 And they carried him on the horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
人就用马将他的尸首驮回, 葬在犹大京城他列祖的坟地里.

II Chronicles - Chapter 26

26:1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah (now he was sixteen years old) and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
犹大众民立亚玛谢的儿子乌西雅(又名亚撒利雅)接续他父作王, 那时他年十六岁.

26:2 He built Elath and returned it to Judah after the king slept with his ancestors.
(亚玛谢与他列祖同睡之后, 乌西雅收回以禄仍归犹大, 又重新修理. )

26:3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. And the name of his mother was Yecoliah of Jerusalem.
乌西雅登基的时候年十六岁, 在耶路撒冷作王五十二年. 他母亲名叫耶可利雅, 是耶路撒冷人.

26:4 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Amaziah his father had done.
乌西雅行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 效法他父亚玛谢一切所行的;

26:5 And he began to seek God in the days of Zechariah who was teaching in visions of God. And whenever he sought Yahweh God made him have success.
通晓神默示, 撒迦利亚在世的时候, 乌西雅定意寻求神; 他寻求耶和华, 神就使他亨通.

26:6 And he went out and made war against the Philistines, and he broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod, and he built cities in Ashdod and among the Philistines.
他出去攻击非利士人, 拆毁了迦特城,雅比尼城, 和亚实突城; 在非利士人中, 在亚实突境内, 又建筑了些城.

26:7 And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs who were living in Gur-Baal and Meunim.
神帮助他攻击非利士人和住在姑珥巴力的阿拉伯人, 并米乌尼人.

26:8 And the Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah, and his fame went out to the boundary of Egypt, for he became very strong.
亚扪人给乌西雅进贡. 他的名声传到埃及, 因他甚是强盛.

26:9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the Angle, and he strengthened them.
乌西雅在耶路撒冷的角门和谷门, 并城墙转弯之处, 建筑城楼, 且甚坚固;

26:10 And he built towers in the desert and hewed many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the Shephelah and on the plain, along with farmers and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
又在旷野与高原和平原, 建筑望楼, 挖了许多井, 因他的牲畜甚多; 又在山地和佳美之地, 有农夫和修理葡萄园的人, 因为他喜悦农事.

26:11 And Uzziah had troops trained and ready for war in divisions according to the number of their enrollment at the hand of Jeuel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah of the king’s commanders.
乌西雅又有军兵, 照书记耶利和官长玛西雅所数点的, 在王的一个将军哈拿尼雅手下, 分队出战.

26:12 The whole number of the heads of the families for mighty warriors of strength was two thousand six hundred.
族长,大能勇士的总数共有二千六百人,

26:13 And under their hand were army troops numbering three hundred and seven thousand five hundred who could make war with power and strength to help the king against an enemy.
他们手下的军兵共有三十万七千五百人, 都有大能, 善于争战, 帮助王攻击仇敌.

26:14 And Uzziah prepared small shields, spears, helmets, breastplates, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
乌西雅为全军预备盾牌,枪,盔,甲,弓, 和甩石的机弦,

26:15 And he made siege machines in Jerusalem designed by skillful men to be set upon the towers and upon the corners to shoot arrows and large slingstones. And his fame went out far, for he helped marvelously, for he was strong.
又在耶路撒冷使巧匠做机器, 安在城楼和角楼上, 用以射箭发石. 乌西雅的名声传到远方; 因为他得了非常的帮助, 甚是强盛.

26:16 But on account of his strength his heart grew proud unto destruction. And he acted unfaithfully against Yahweh his God and went into the temple of Yahweh to offer an incense offering on the altar.
他既强盛, 就心高气傲, 以致行事邪僻, 干犯耶和华─他的神, 进耶和华的殿, 要在香坛上烧香.

26:17 And Azariah the priest, along with eighty strong priests with him, went in after him.
祭司亚撒利雅率领耶和华勇敢的祭司八十人, 跟随他进去.

26:18 And they stood against King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but it is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully. There will be no honor for you from Yahweh God.”
他们就阻挡乌西雅王, 对他说: “乌西雅啊, 给耶和华烧香不是你的事, 乃是亚伦子孙承接圣职祭司的事. 你出圣殿吧! 因为你犯了罪. 你行这事, 耶和华神必不使你得荣耀. ”

26:19 Then Uzziah, his censer in hand to burn incense, became angry. And when he became angry with the priests, then leprosy appeared on his forehead in front of the priests in the house of Yahweh at the altar of incense.
乌西雅就发怒, 手拿香炉要烧香. 他向祭司发怒的时候, 在耶和华殿中香坛旁众祭司面前, 额上忽然发出大痲疯.

26:20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned to him, behold, he was leprous in the forehead. So they rushed him away from there, and he also hastened to go out, for Yahweh had smitten him.
大祭司亚撒利雅和众祭司观看, 见他额上发出大痲疯, 就催他出殿; 他自己也急速出去, 因为耶和华降灾与他.

26:21 So King Uzziah was leprous until the day of his death, and he lived in a separate house as a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. And Jotham his son was over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.
乌西雅王长大痲疯直到死日, 因此住在别的宫里, 与耶和华的殿隔绝. 他儿子约坦管理家事, 治理国民.

26:22 Now the remainder of the words of Uzziah, from the first to the last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote them.
乌西雅其余的事, 自始至终都是亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚所记的.

26:23 And Uzziah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him with his ancestors in the burial field which belonged to the kings, because, they said, “He was leprous.” And Jotham his son reigned in his place.
乌西雅与他列祖同睡, 葬在王陵的田间他列祖的坟地里; 因为人说, 他是长大痲疯的. 他儿子约坦接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 27

27:1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.
约坦登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十六年, 他母亲名叫耶路沙, 是撒督的女儿.

27:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done—only he did not go into the temple of Yahweh. But the people still acted corruptly.
约坦行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 效法他父乌西雅一切所行的, 只是不入耶和华的殿. 百姓还行邪僻的事.

27:3 He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and he did much restoration on the wall of Ophel.
约坦建立耶和华殿的上门, 在俄斐勒城上多有建造,

27:4 And he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and he built forts and towers in the wooded places.
又在犹大山地建造城邑, 在树林中建筑营寨和高楼.

27:5 Now he fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave to him in that year one hundred talents of silver and ten thousand measures of wheat and ten thousand measures of barley. This is what the Ammonites rendered to him, as well as in the second and third year.
约坦与亚扪人的王打仗胜了他们, 当年他们进贡银一百他连得, 小麦一万歌珥, 大麦一万歌珥; 第二年,第三年也是这样.

27:6 And Jotham strengthened himself, for he established his ways before Yahweh his God.
约坦在耶和华─他神面前行正道, 以致日渐强盛.

27:7 Now the remainder of the words of Jotham and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written upon the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
约坦其余的事和一切争战, 并他的行为, 都写在以色列和犹大列王记上.

27:8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
他登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十六年.

27:9 And Jotham slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. And his son Ahaz became king in his place.
约坦与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫城里. 他儿子亚哈斯接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 28

28:1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what is right in the eyes of Yahweh like David his ancestor.
亚哈斯登基的时候年二十岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十六年; 不像他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事,

28:2 But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made molten idols for the Baals.
却行以色列诸王的道, 又铸造巴力的像,

28:3 And he himself burned incense in the valley of Ben-Hinnom and burned his sons in the fire, according to the detestable practices of the nations whom Yahweh drove out before the Israelites.
并且在欣嫩子谷烧香, 用火焚烧他的儿女, 行耶和华在以色列人面前所驱逐的外邦人那可憎的事;

28:4 And he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops, and under every flourishing tree.
并在邱坛上,山冈上,各青翠树下献祭烧香.

28:5 Then Yahweh his God gave him into the hand of the king of Aram who defeated him and captured many captives from him and brought them to Damascus. Moreover, he was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he defeated him by a great attack.
所以, 耶和华─他的神将他交在亚兰王手里. 亚兰王打败他, 掳了他许多的民, 带到大马士革去. 神又将他交在以色列王手里, 以色列王向他大行杀戮.

28:6 And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, killed in one day one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah, all men of strength, because they forsook Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
利玛利的儿子比加一日杀了犹大人十二万, 都是勇士, 因为他们离弃了耶和华─他们列祖的神.

28:7 And Zikri, a mighty warrior of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the commander of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
有一个以法莲中的勇士, 名叫细基利, 杀了王的儿子玛西雅和管理王宫的押斯利甘, 并宰相以利加拿.

28:8 And the Israelites captured two hundred thousand of their brothers, women, sons, and daughters. And they also plundered much booty from them and brought the booty to Samaria.
以色列人掳了他们的弟兄, 连妇人带儿女共有二十万, 又掠了许多的财物, 带到撒马利亚去了.

28:9 Now a prophet of Yahweh was there; Oded was his name. And he went out before the army that was coming to Samaria and said to them, “Look, it is on account of the anger of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, against Judah that he gave them into your hands, and you killed them in a rage reaching to the heavens.
但那里有耶和华的一个先知, 名叫俄德, 出来迎接往撒马利亚去的军兵, 对他们说: “因为耶和华─你们列祖的神恼怒犹大人, 所以将他们交在你们手里, 你们竟怒气冲天, 大行杀戮.

28:10 So now, you yourselves plan to subdue people of Judah and Jerusalem as slaves and female servants for yourselves. Is there not also guilt on your part against Yahweh your God?
如今你们又有意强逼犹大人和耶路撒冷人作你们的奴婢, 你们岂不也有得罪耶和华─你们神的事吗?

28:11 So now, listen to me and return the captives of your brothers whom you have taken captive, for the fierce anger of Yahweh is against you.”
现在你们当听我说, 要将掳来的弟兄释放回去, 因为耶和华向你们已经大发烈怒. ”

28:12 Then men from the heads of Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Hezekiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—stood against those returning from the fight.
于是, 以法莲人的几个族长─就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅,米实利末的儿子比利家,沙龙的儿子耶希西家,哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒─起来拦挡出兵回来的人,

28:13 And they said to them, “You shall not bring the captives here, for it is as guilt against Yahweh upon us. You yourselves plan to add to our sins and to our guilt, but our guilt is very great, and there is great anger against Israel.”
对他们说: “你们不可带进这被掳的人来! 你们想要使我们得罪耶和华, 加增我们的罪恶过犯? 因为我们的罪过甚大, 已经有烈怒临到以色列人了. ”

28:14 So the soldiers left the captives and the plunder before the commanders and all the assembly.
于是带兵器的人将掳来的人口和掠来的财物都留在众首领和会众的面前.

28:15 Then the men designated by name arose and took the captives and from the plunder clothed all their nakedness. So they clothed them, gave them sandals, gave them food to eat, gave them water to drink, anointed them, and guided them with the donkeys provided for all those who stumbled, and brought them to Jericho, the city of the palm trees, next to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
以上提名的那些人就站起, 使被掳的人前来; 其中有赤身的, 就从所掠的财物中拿出衣服和鞋来, 给他们穿, 又给他们吃喝, 用膏抹他们; 其中有软弱的, 就使他们骑驴, 送到棕树城耶利哥他们弟兄那里; 随后就回撒马利亚去了.

28:16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him,
那时, 亚哈斯王差遣人去见亚述诸王, 求他们帮助;

28:17 since again the Edomites came and struck against Judah and took captives.
因为以东人又来攻击犹大, 掳掠子民.

28:18 And the Philistines sent raids into the cities of the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah. And they captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Socoh with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages. And they settled there.
非利士人也来侵占高原和犹大南方的城邑, 取了伯‧示麦,亚雅仑,基低罗, 梭哥和属梭哥的乡村, 亭纳和属亭纳的乡村, 瑾锁和属瑾锁的乡村, 就住在那里.

28:19 For Yahweh subdued Judah for the sake of Ahaz, king of Israel, for he created disorder in Judah and acted unfaithfully against Yahweh.
因为以色列王亚哈斯在犹大放肆, 大大干犯耶和华, 所以耶和华使犹大卑微.

28:20 Then Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria came against him and brought trouble for him, instead of helping him,
亚述王提革拉‧毘列色上来, 却没有帮助他, 反倒欺凌他.

28:21 for Ahaz took a portion from the house of Yahweh and the house of the king and the princes, and he gave it to the king of Assyria, but it was no help to him.
亚哈斯从耶和华殿里和王宫中, 并首领家内所取的财宝给了亚述王, 这也无济于事.

28:22 And in the time of his distress, King Ahaz continued to act unfaithfully against Yahweh.
这亚哈斯王在急难的时候, 越发得罪耶和华.

28:23 He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, “Because the gods of the king of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they will help me.” But they were a disaster to him and to all Israel.
他祭祀攻击他的大马士革之神, 说: “因为亚兰王的神帮助他们, 我也献祭与他, 他好帮助我. ”但那些神使他和以色列众人败亡了.

28:24 Then Ahaz gathered the objects of the house of God, and he cut the objects of the house of God to pieces. And he shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
亚哈斯将神殿里的器皿都聚了来, 毁坏了, 且封锁耶和华殿的门; 在耶路撒冷各处的拐角建筑祭坛,

28:25 And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and he provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
又在犹大各城建立邱坛, 与别神烧香, 惹动耶和华─他列祖神的怒气.

28:26 Now the remainder of his words and all his ways, from the first to the last, behold, they are written upon the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
亚哈斯其余的事和他的行为, 自始至终都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上.

28:27 And Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, for they did not bring him to the burial site of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
亚哈斯与他列祖同睡, 葬在耶路撒冷城里, 没有送入以色列诸王的坟墓中. 他儿子希西家接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 29

29:1 Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.
希西家登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二十九年. 他母亲名叫亚比雅, 是撒迦利雅的女儿.

29:2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
希西家行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 效法他祖大卫一切所行的.

29:3 In the first year of his kingship, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh and strengthened them.
元年正月, 开了耶和华殿的门, 重新修理.

29:4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and he gathered them into the eastern square.
他召众祭司和利未人来, 聚集在东边的宽阔处,

29:5 And he said to them, “Hear me, O Levites! Sanctify yourselves now, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, and bring out the defilement from the sanctuary.
对他们说: “利未人哪, 当听我说: 现在你们要洁净自己, 又洁净耶和华─你们列祖神的殿, 从圣所中除去污秽之物.

29:6 For our ancestors acted unfaithfully and did evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the dwelling place of Yahweh. They have turned their backs on it.
我们列祖犯了罪, 行耶和华─我们神眼中看为恶的事, 离弃他, 转脸背向他的居所,

29:7 They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. And they did not burn incense or offer burnt offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel.
封锁廊门, 吹灭灯火, 不在圣所中向以色列神烧香, 或献燔祭.

29:8 And the wrath of Yahweh was upon Judah and Jerusalem. And he made them as an abhorrence, as a desolation and an object of scorn, as you see with your own eyes.
因此, 耶和华的忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷, 将其中的人抛来抛去, 令人惊骇,嗤笑, 正如你们亲眼所见的.

29:9 Now behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity on account of this.
所以我们的祖宗倒在刀下, 我们的妻子儿女也被掳掠.

29:10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger might turn away from him.
现在我心中有意与耶和华─以色列的神立约, 好使他的烈怒转离我们.

29:11 Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him to serve him and to be his servants and incense burners.”
我的众子啊, 现在不要懈怠; 因为耶和华拣选你们站在他面前事奉他, 与他烧香. ”

29:12 Then the Levites arose—Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, from the Kohathites; and Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; and Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah, from the Gershonites.
于是, 利未人哥辖的子孙,亚玛赛的儿子玛哈, 亚撒利雅的儿子约珥; 米拉利的子孙,亚伯底的儿子基士, 耶哈利勒的儿子亚撒利雅; 革顺的子孙,薪玛的儿子约亚, 约亚的儿子伊甸;

29:13 And from the descendants of Elizaphan: Shimri and Jeiel; and from the descendants of Asaph: Zechariah and Mattaniah;
以利撒反的子孙申利和耶利; 亚萨的子孙撒迦利雅和玛探雅;

29:14 and from the descendants of Heman: Jeiel and Shimei; and from the descendants of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel—
希幔的子孙耶歇和示每; 耶杜顿的子孙示玛雅和乌薛;

29:15 and they gathered their brothers and sanctified themselves, and they went in according to the command of the king because of the words of Yahweh, to purify the house of Yahweh.
起来聚集他们的弟兄, 洁净自己, 照着王的吩咐,耶和华的命令, 进去洁净耶和华的殿.

29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Yahweh to purify it. And they brought out all the impurity that they found in the temple of Yahweh out to the courtyard of the house of Yahweh. And the Levites took them to bring them outside to the Wadi Kidron.
祭司进入耶和华的殿要洁净殿, 将殿中所有污秽之物搬到耶和华殿的院内, 利未人接去, 搬到外头汲沦溪边.

29:17 And they began to sanctify themselves on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the month they came to the portico of Yahweh. And they sanctified the house of Yahweh for eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.
从正月初一日洁净起, 初八日到了耶和华的殿廊, 用八日的工夫洁净耶和华的殿, 到正月十六日才洁净完了.

29:18 And they went into the inner part to King Hezekiah and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh: the altar of burnt offering, all its objects, the table of the rows of bread and all its objects,
于是, 他们晋见希西家王, 说: “我们已将耶和华的全殿和燔祭坛, 并坛的一切器皿,陈设饼的桌子, 与桌子的一切器皿都洁净了;

29:19 and all the objects that King Ahaz discarded in his reign when he sinned, we have prepared and sanctified. Look, they are before the altar of Yahweh.”
并且亚哈斯王在位犯罪的时候所废弃的器皿, 我们预备齐全, 且洁净了, 现今都在耶和华的坛前. ”

29:20 Then King Hezekiah rose early and gathered the officials of the city, and he went up to the house of Yahweh.
希西家王清早起来, 聚集城里的首领都上耶和华的殿;

29:21 And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a purification offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the descendants of Aaron, the priests, to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.
牵了七只公牛, 七只公羊, 七只羊羔, 七只公山羊, 要为国,为殿,为犹大人作赎罪祭. 王吩咐亚伦的子孙众祭司, 献在耶和华的坛上,

29:22 And they slaughtered the cattle, and the priests received the blood and threw it toward the altar. Then they slaughtered the rams and threw the blood toward the altar, and then they slaughtered the lambs and threw the blood toward the altar.
就宰了公牛, 祭司接血洒在坛上, 宰了公羊, 把血洒在坛上, 又宰了羊羔, 也把血洒在坛上;

29:23 Then they brought the goats of the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid hands upon them.
把那作赎罪祭的公山羊牵到王和会众面前, 他们就按手在其上.

29:24 And the priest killed them and offered their blood against the altar to make atonement for all Israel, for the king had commanded the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
祭司宰了羊, 将血献在坛上作赎罪祭, 为以色列众人赎罪, 因为王吩咐将燔祭和赎罪祭为以色列众人献上.

29:25 And he stood the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the command of David and Gad, the seer of the king, and Nathan the prophet, for the command was by the hand of Yahweh by the hand of his prophets.
王又派利未人在耶和华殿中敲钹, 鼓瑟, 弹琴, 乃照大卫和他先见迦得, 并先知拿单所吩咐的, 就是耶和华藉先知所吩咐的.

29:26 When the Levites stood with the objects of David and the priests with the trumpets,
利未人拿大卫的乐器, 祭司拿号, 一同站立.

29:27 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And at the time the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began, and also the trumpets, at the hands of the instruments of David king of Israel.
希西家吩咐在坛上献燔祭, 燔祭一献, 就唱赞美耶和华的歌, 用号, 并用以色列王大卫的乐器相和.

29:28 Then all the assembly bowed down, and the song was sung, and the trumpeters trumpeted—all together until the end of the burnt offering.
会众都敬拜, 歌唱的歌唱, 吹号的吹号, 如此直到燔祭献完了.

29:29 And when the offering was finished, the king and all who were found with him knelt down and bowed themselves.
献完了祭, 王和一切跟随的人都俯伏敬拜.

29:30 Then King Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to praise Yahweh with the words of David and Asaph the seer. So they offered praise with joy, and they bowed down and worshiped.
希西家王与众首领又吩咐利未人用大卫和先见亚萨的诗词颂赞耶和华; 他们就欢欢喜喜地颂赞耶和华, 低头敬拜.

29:31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of Yahweh!” And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all who were willing in heart brought burnt offerings.
希西家说: “你们既然归耶和华为圣, 就要前来把祭物和感谢祭奉到耶和华殿里. ”会众就把祭物和感谢祭奉来, 凡甘心乐意的也将燔祭奉来.

29:32 And the number of burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy cattle, one hundred rams, two hundred lambs—all these were to offer to Yahweh.
会众所奉的燔祭如下: 公牛七十只, 公羊一百只, 羊羔二百只, 这都是作燔祭献给耶和华的;

29:33 And the consecrated offerings of cattle were six hundred cattle and three thousand sheep.
又有分别为圣之物, 公牛六百只, 绵羊三千只.

29:34 But the priests were too few, and they were not able to offer all the burnt offerings, so their brothers, the Levites, strengthened them to finish the work, and until the rest of the priests consecrated themselves. (For the Levites were more conscientious to sanctify themselves than the priests.)
但祭司太少, 不能剥尽燔祭牲的皮, 所以他们的弟兄利未人帮助他们, 直等燔祭的事完了, 又等别的祭司自洁了; 因为利未人诚心自洁, 胜过祭司.

29:35 And beside the many burnt offerings was the fat of the peace offerings and the libations for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of Yahweh was established.
燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油, 并燔祭同献的奠祭甚多. 这样, 耶和华殿中的事务俱都齐备了(或译: 就整顿了).

29:36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over what God had established with the people, for the matter happened suddenly.
这事办的甚速, 希西家和众民都喜乐, 是因神为众民所预备的.

II Chronicles - Chapter 30

30:1 Then Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, to come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.
希西家差遣人去见以色列和犹大众人, 又写信给以法莲和玛拿西人, 叫他们到耶路撒冷耶和华的殿, 向耶和华─以色列的神守逾越节;

30:2 Now the king and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to make the Passover feast in the second month—
因为王和众首领, 并耶路撒冷全会众已经商议, 要在二月内守逾越节.

30:3 but they were not able to make it at that time, for the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, and the people had not been assembled in Jerusalem—
正月(原文是那时)间他们不能守; 因为自洁的祭司尚不敷用, 百姓也没有聚集在耶路撒冷;

30:4 and the plan seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly.
王与全会众都以这事为善.

30:5 So they let the decree stand, to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, to come to make a Passover feast to Yahweh the God of Israel.
于是定了命令, 传遍以色列, 从别是巴直到但, 使他们都来, 在耶路撒冷向耶和华─以色列的神守逾越节; 因为照所写的例, 守这节的不多了(或译: 因为民许久没有照所写的例守节了).

30:6 And the runners went with the letter from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah according to the command of the king, saying, “O sons of Israel, return to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
驿卒就把王和众首领的信, 遵著王命传遍以色列和犹大. 信内说: “以色列人哪, 你们当转向耶和华─亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神, 好叫他转向你们这脱离亚述王手的余民.

30:7 Do not be like your fathers and like your brothers, who acted unfaithfully before Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them as a desolation, as you see.
你们不要效法你们列祖和你们的弟兄; 他们干犯耶和华─他们列祖的神, 以致耶和华丢弃他们, 使他们败亡(或译: 令人惊骇﹞), 正如你们所见的.

30:8 Now, do not stiffen your neck as your fathers, but give a hand to Yahweh and come to his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever, and serve Yahweh your God that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
现在不要像你们列祖硬著颈项, 只要归顺耶和华, 进入他的圣所, 就是永远成圣的居所; 又要事奉耶和华─你们的神, 好使他的烈怒转离你们.

30:9 For when you return to Yahweh, your brothers and your children will find compassion before their captors and return to this land, for Yahweh your God is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
你们若转向耶和华, 你们的弟兄和儿女必在掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜恤, 得以归回这地, 因为耶和华─你们的神有恩典,施怜悯. 你们若转向他, 他必不转脸不顾你们. ”

30:10 And it happened that the runners were passing from city to city in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and up to Zebulun, but they were laughing at them and mocking them.
驿卒就由这城跑到那城, 传遍了以法莲,玛拿西, 直到西布伦. 那里的人却戏笑他们, 讥诮他们.

30:11 Only men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
然而亚设,玛拿西,西布伦中也有人自卑, 来到耶路撒冷.

30:12 The hand of God was also upon Judah, to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and the princes concerning the word of Yahweh.
神也感动犹大人, 使他们一心遵行王与众首领凭耶和华之言所发的命令.

30:13 So many people gathered in Jerusalem to hold the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month; it was a very great assembly.
二月, 有许多人在耶路撒冷聚集, 成为大会, 要守除酵节.

30:14 And they rose up and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem. And they removed all the incense altars and threw them away in the Wadi Kidron.
他们起来, 把耶路撒冷的祭坛和烧香的坛尽都除去, 抛在汲沦溪中.

30:15 And they slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were disgraced, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
二月十四日, 宰了逾越节的羊羔. 祭司与利未人觉得惭愧, 就洁净自己, 把燔祭奉到耶和华殿中,

30:16 Then they stood at their positions according to custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God. The priests were sprinkling the blood from the hand of the Levites.
遵著神人摩西的律法, 照例站在自己的地方; 祭司从利未人手里接过血来, 洒在坛上.

30:17 For there were many in the assembly who did not consecrate themselves, so the Levites were over the killing of the Passover sacrifices for all who were not clean, to consecrate them to Yahweh.
会中有许多人尚未自洁, 所以利未人为一切不洁之人宰逾越节的羊羔, 使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁.

30:18 For a majority of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves. But they ate the Passover sacrifice otherwise than prescribed, but Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh make atonement unto
以法莲,玛拿西,以萨迦,西布伦有许多人尚未自洁, 他们却也吃逾越节的羔羊, 不合所记录的定例. 希西家为他们祷告说: “凡专心寻求神, 就是耶和华─他列祖之神的, 虽不照着圣所洁净之礼自洁, 求至善的耶和华也饶恕他. ”

30:19 everyone whose heart is set to seek God, Yahweh the God of his ancestors, though not according to the cleansing for the sanctuary.”
a

30:20 And Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and he healed the people.
耶和华垂听希西家的祷告, 就饶恕(原文是医治)百姓.

30:21 And the Israelites who were found in Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great joy. And the Levites and the priests were offering praise to Yahweh day by day, with powerful instruments to Yahweh.
在耶路撒冷的以色列人大大喜乐, 守除酵节七日. 利未人和祭司用响亮的乐器, 日日颂赞耶和华.

30:22 And Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites who were skilled at service to Yahweh. So they ate the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and giving thanks to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
希西家慰劳一切善于事奉耶和华的利未人. 于是众人吃节筵七日, 又献平安祭, 且向耶和华─他们列祖的神认罪.

30:23 Then the whole assembly decided to make seven more days of feasting, so they made seven more days with joy,
全会众商议, 要再守节七日; 于是欢欢喜喜地又守节七日.

30:24 for Hezekiah the king of Judah had provided one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the princes provided one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly. And many priests consecrated themselves.
犹大王希西家赐给会众公牛一千只, 羊七千只为祭物; 众首领也赐给会众公牛一千只, 羊一万只, 并有许多的祭司洁净自己.

30:25 And the whole assembly of Judah, the priests and the Levites, all the assembly who had come from the land of Israel, and those living in Judah rejoiced.
犹大全会众,祭司,利未人, 并那从以色列地来的会众和寄居的人, 以及犹大寄居的人, 尽都喜乐.

30:26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem, for from the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there was nothing such as this in Jerusalem.
这样, 在耶路撒冷大有喜乐, 自从以色列王大卫儿子所罗门的时候, 在耶路撒冷没有这样的喜乐.

30:27 Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy dwelling place in the heavens.
那时, 祭司,利未人起来, 为民祝福. 他们的声音蒙神垂听, 他们的祷告达到天上的圣所.

II Chronicles - Chapter 31

31:1 And when all this was finished, all Israel who were found in the cities of Judah went out and shattered the stone pillars, cut down the Asherahs, and destroyed the high places and the altars from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh to the very last one. Then all the Israelites returned, each to his own property and to their cities.
这事既都完毕, 在那里的以色列众人就到犹大的城邑, 打碎柱像, 砍断木偶, 又在犹大,便雅悯,以法莲,玛拿西遍地将邱坛和祭坛拆毁净尽. 于是以色列众人各回各城, 各归各地.

31:2 And Hezekiah appointed working groups of the priests and the Levites, each according to their divisions, according to the service for priests and Levites, for burnt offerings, for peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camps of Yahweh.
希西家派定祭司利未人的班次, 各按各职献燔祭和平安祭, 又在耶和华殿(原文是营)门内事奉, 称谢颂赞耶和华.

31:3 And the gift of the king was out of his own possessions for the burnt offerings—the burnt offerings for the morning and the evening and for Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and appointed feasts, as is written in the law of Yahweh.
王又从自己的产业中定出分来为燔祭, 就是早晚的燔祭和安息日,月朔, 并节期的燔祭, 都是按耶和华律法上所载的;

31:4 Then he said to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give a gift for the priests and the Levites, so that they might be strong in the law of Yahweh.
又吩咐住耶路撒冷的百姓将祭司,利未人所应得的分给他们, 使他们专心遵守耶和华的律法.

31:5 And the word spread. The Israelites gave abundantly from the firstfruits of grain, new wine, olive oil, honey, and all kinds of grains from the field. And they brought tithes of everything in abundance.
谕旨一出, 以色列人就把初熟的五谷,新酒,油,蜜, 和田地的出产多多送来, 又把各物的十分之一送来的极多.

31:6 Then the people of Israel and Judah who were living in the cities of Judah, they also brought a tithe of cattle and sheep and a tithe of consecrated objects to Yahweh their God. And they gave heaps upon heaps.
住犹大各城的以色列人和犹大人也将牛羊的十分之一, 并分别为圣归耶和华─他们神之物, 就是十分取一之物, 尽都送来, 积成堆垒;

31:7 In the third month the heaps began to pile up, and in the seventh month they ceased.
从三月积起, 到七月才完.

31:8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
希西家和众首领来, 看见堆垒, 就称颂耶和华, 又为耶和华的民以色列人祝福.

31:9 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
希西家向祭司,利未人查问这堆垒.

31:10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, saying, “Since the offerings began to be brought to the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and been satisfied, and have much to spare, for Yahweh has blessed his people. Now see this abundant remainder!”
撒督家的大祭司亚撒利雅回答说: “自从民将供物送到耶和华殿以来, 我们不但吃饱, 且剩下的甚多; 因为耶和华赐福给他的民, 所剩下的才这样丰盛. ”

31:11 And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Yahweh, and they were prepared.
希西家吩咐在耶和华殿里预备仓房, 他们就预备了.

31:12 Then they brought the offerings and tithes and holy objects faithfully. And over them as leader was Conaniah the Levite. And Shimei his brother was second in rank.
他们诚心将供物和十分取一之物, 并分别为圣之物, 都搬入仓内. 利未人歌楠雅掌管这事, 他兄弟示每为副管.

31:13 And Jehiel, Azaziah, Nathan, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were chief officers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei, his brother, by appointment of King Hezekiah. And Azaraiah was leader of the house of God.
耶歇,亚撒细雅,拿哈,亚撒黑,耶利末,约撒拔,以列,伊斯玛基雅,玛哈,比拿雅都是督理, 在歌楠雅和他兄弟示每的手下, 是希西家王和管理神殿的亚撒利雅所派的.

31:14 Now Kore the son of Imlah, the Levite, the gatekeeper of the east gate was over the freewill offerings of God, to give offerings to Yahweh and the most holy things.
守东门的利未人音拿的儿子可利, 掌管乐意献与神的礼物, 发放献与耶和华的供物和至圣的物.

31:15 And at his hand were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah in the cities of the priests and entrusted to give to their brothers by working groups, according to the eldest to the youngest,
在他手下有伊甸,岷雅岷,耶书亚,示玛雅,亚玛利雅,示迦尼雅, 在祭司的各城里供紧要的职任, 无论弟兄大小, 都按著班次分给他们.

31:16 besides their enrollment by genealogy, to males from three years old and upward, to all who came into the house of Yahweh, as each day required for their service in their posts according to their working groups.
按家谱, 三岁以外的男丁, 凡每日进耶和华殿,按班次供职的, 也分给他;

31:17 And the enrollment of the priests was according to the house of their fathers, and the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, according to their posts by their working groups.
又按宗族家谱分给祭司, 按班次职任分给二十岁以外的利未人,

31:18 And they were enrolled with all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters for the whole assembly because of their faithfulness. And they sanctified themselves in holiness.
又按家谱计算, 分给他们会中的妻子,儿女; 因他们身供要职, 自洁成圣.

31:19 And for the descendants of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of the pasturelands of their cities, in each and every one of their cities were men who were designated by name to give shares to every male among the priests and to everyone enrolled among the Levites.
按名派定的人要把应得的分给亚伦子孙, 住在各城郊野,祭司所有的男丁和一切载入家谱的利未人.

31:20 And Hezekiah did according to this throughout all Judah. And he did what is good and what is right and what is faithful before Yahweh his God.
希西家在犹大遍地这样办理, 行耶和华─他神眼中看为善为正为忠的事.

31:21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God or with respect to the law and the commandment to seek his God, he did with all his heart, and he prospered.
凡他所行的, 无论是办神殿的事, 是遵律法守诫命, 是寻求他的神, 都是尽心去行, 无不亨通.

II Chronicles - Chapter 32

32:1 After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib the king of Assyria came, and he came against Judah. And he encamped against the fortified cities and planned to break them down for himself.
这虔诚的事以后, 亚述王西拿基立来侵入犹大, 围困一切坚固城, 想要攻破占据.

32:2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that his face was set for battle against Jerusalem,
希西家见西拿基立来, 定意要攻打耶路撒冷,

32:3 he took counsel with his commanders and his mighty warriors to block off the waters of the springs that came from outside the city, and they helped him.
就与首领和勇士商议, 塞住城外的泉源; 他们就都帮助他.

32:4 Then many people were gathered, and they blocked off all the springs and the river that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?”
于是有许多人聚集, 塞了一切泉源, 并通流国中的小河, 说: “亚述王来, 为何让他得着许多水呢? ”

32:5 Then he strengthened himself and built up all the walls that were broken down, and raised towers upon them and another wall outside. And he strengthened the Millo of the city of David and made much weaponry and small shields.
希西家力图自强, 就修筑所有拆毁的城墙, 高与城楼相齐; 在城外又筑一城, 坚固大卫城的米罗, 制造了许多军器,盾牌;

32:6 And he appointed commanders for battle over the people and gathered them to himself into the public square of the gate of the city. And he spoke to their hearts, saying,
设立军长管理百姓, 将他们招聚在城门的宽阔处, 用话勉励他们, 说:

32:7 “Be strong! Be courageous! Do not fear and do not be dismayed before the king of Assyria and before all the crowd that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.
“你们当刚强壮胆, 不要因亚述王和跟随他的大军恐惧,惊慌; 因为与我们同在的, 比与他们同在的更大.

32:8 With him is the arm of flesh, and with us is Yahweh our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence with the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
与他们同在的是肉臂, 与我们同在的是耶和华─我们的神, 他必帮助我们, 为我们争战. ”百姓就靠犹大王希西家的话, 安然无惧了.

32:9 After this Sennacherib the king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (now he and all his armies with him were against Lachish) to Hezekiah king of Judah and to all of Judah that was in Jerusalem, saying,
此后, 亚述王西拿基立和他的全军攻打拉吉, 就差遣臣仆到耶路撒冷见犹大王希西家和一切在耶路撒冷的犹大人, 说:

32:10 “Thus says Sennacherib the king of Assyria: ‘On what are you relying that you are dwelling in siege works in Jerusalem?
“亚述王西拿基立如此说: ‘你们倚靠甚么, 还在耶路撒冷受困呢?

32:11 Is not Hezekiah urging you to give you up to die by starvation and thirst, saying, “Yahweh our God will save us from the hand of the king of Assyria”?
希西家对你们说“耶和华─我们的神必救我们脱离亚述王的手”, 这不是诱惑你们, 使你们受饥渴而死吗?

32:12 Has not Hezekiah himself removed his high places and his altars and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, “You must bow down before one altar and upon it you must make offerings”?
这希西家岂不是废去耶和华的邱坛和祭坛, 吩咐犹大与耶路撒冷的人说“你们当在一个坛前敬拜, 在其上烧香”吗?

32:13 Do you not know what I have done, I and my ancestors, to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of all the lands at all able to save their land from my hand?
我与我列祖向列邦所行的, 你们岂不知道吗? 列邦的神何尝能救自己的国脱离我手呢?

32:14 Who among all the gods of those nations whom my ancestors utterly destroyed was able to save his people from my hand, that your God will be able to save you from my hand?
我列祖所灭的国, 那些神中谁能救自己的民脱离我手呢? 难道你们的神能救你们脱离我手吗?

32:15 So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you. Do not let him urge you according to this. Do not put trust in him, for no god of any nation and kingdom has been able to save his people from my hand and from the hand of my ancestors. Surely then your God will not save you from my hand!’ ”
所以你们不要叫希西家这样欺哄诱惑你们, 也不要信他; 因为没有一国一邦的神能救自己的民脱离我手和我列祖的手, 何况你们的神更不能救你们脱离我的手. ’”

32:16 And still more his servants said against Yahweh God and against Hezekiah his servant.
西拿基立的臣仆还有别的话毁谤耶和华神和他仆人希西家.

32:17 And he wrote letters to treat Yahweh the God of Israel with contempt and spoke against him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the earth who did not save their people from my hand, so likewise the God of Hezekiah will not save his people from my hand.”
西拿基立也写信毁谤耶和华─以色列的神说: “列邦的神既不能救他的民脱离我手, 希西家的神也不能救他的民脱离我手了. ”

32:18 Then they called with a great voice in Judean to the people of Jerusalem who were upon the wall to frighten them and terrify them, so that they could take the city captive.
亚述王的臣仆用犹大言语向耶路撒冷城上的民大声呼叫, 要惊吓他们, 扰乱他们, 以便取城.

32:19 And they spoke about the God of Jerusalem as about the gods of the peoples of the earth, the works of the hands of humankind.
他们论耶路撒冷的神, 如同论世上人手所造的神一样.

32:20 Then King Hezekiah and Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed concerning this. And they cried to the heavens.
希西家王和亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚因此祷告, 向天呼求.

32:21 Then Yahweh sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty warrior of strength, commander, and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria. And he returned with shamed face to his land and went into the house of his god. And some of the offspring of his loins fell upon him there with the sword.
耶和华就差遣一个使者进入亚述王营中, 把所有大能的勇士和官长,将帅尽都灭了. 亚述王满面含羞地回到本国, 进了他神的庙中, 有他亲生的儿子在那里用刀杀了他.

32:22 So Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, and from the all their enemies, and gave them rest all around.
这样, 耶和华救希西家和耶路撒冷的居民脱离亚述王西拿基立的手, 也脱离一切仇敌的手, 又赐他们四境平安.

32:23 And many brought tribute to Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations thereafter.
有许多人到耶路撒冷, 将供物献与耶和华, 又将宝物送给犹大王希西家. 此后, 希西家在列邦人的眼中看为尊大.

32:24 In those days Hezekiah fell ill unto death, and he prayed to Yahweh. And he answered him and gave him a sign.
那时希西家病得要死, 就祷告耶和华, 耶和华应允他, 赐他一个兆头.

32:25 But Hezekiah did not reciprocate according to the benefit placed upon him, because his heart became proud. So wrath was upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
希西家却没有照他所蒙的恩报答耶和华; 因他心里骄傲, 所以忿怒要临到他和犹大并耶路撒冷.

32:26 But Hezekiah humbled himself with respect to the arrogance of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Yahweh did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
但希西家和耶路撒冷的居民觉得心里骄傲, 就一同自卑, 以致耶和华的忿怒在希西家的日子没有临到他们.

32:27 And Hezekiah had very much wealth and honor, and he made storehouses for himself for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, small shields, and all sorts of desirable objects;
希西家大有尊荣资财, 建造府库, 收藏金银,宝石,香料,盾牌, 和各样的宝器,

32:28 and storage buildings for the yield of grain, new wine, and olive oil; and animal stalls for all kinds of animals, and animals and herds for animal stalls.
又建造仓房, 收藏五谷,新酒, 和油, 又为各类牲畜盖棚立圈;

32:29 And he made cities for himself, and livestock of sheep and abundant cattle, for God had given to him very abundant possessions.
并且建立城邑, 还有许多的羊群牛群, 因为神赐他极多的财产.

32:30 And this same Hezekiah blocked off the flow of the waters of the upper Gihon, and directed them down the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
这希西家也塞住基训的上源, 引水直下, 流在大卫城的西边. 希西家所行的事尽都亨通.

32:31 And thus in the matter of the envoys of the commanders of Babylon who had been sent to him to seek the sign that had happened in the land, God forsook him, to test him and to know all that was in his heart.
惟有一件事, 就是巴比伦王差遣使者来见希西家, 访问国中所现的奇事; 这件事神离开他, 要试验他, 好知道他心内如何.

32:32 Now the remainder of the words of Hezekiah and his loyal love, behold, they are written in the visions of Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, upon the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
希西家其余的事和他的善行都写在亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚的默示书上和犹大,以色列的诸王记上.

32:33 And Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the upper part of the burial sites of the descendants of David. And all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.
希西家与他列祖同睡, 葬在大卫子孙的高陵上. 他死的时候, 犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民都尊敬他. 他儿子玛拿西接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 33

33:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
玛拿西登基的时候年十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王五十五年.

33:2 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to the detestable things of the nations whom Yahweh drove out before the Israelites.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法耶和华在以色列人面前赶出的外邦人那可憎的事,

33:3 And he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father broke down, and he set up altars for the Baals, made Asherahs, and bowed down to the host of heaven and served them.
重新建筑他父希西家所拆毁的邱坛, 又为巴力筑坛, 作木偶, 且敬拜事奉天上的万象,

33:4 And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, “In Jerusalem my name shall be forever.”
在耶和华的殿宇中筑坛─耶和华曾指著这殿说: “我的名必永远在耶路撒冷. ”

33:5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
他在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象筑坛,

33:6 And he himself burned his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom. And he practiced sorcery and divination, and he engaged in witchcraft and dealt with mediums and spiritists. And he did much evil in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
并在欣嫩子谷使他的儿女经火, 又观兆, 用法术, 行邪术, 立交鬼的和行巫术的, 多行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 惹动他的怒气,

33:7 And he placed the carved image of the idol that he had made in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
又在神殿内立雕刻的偶像. 神曾对大卫和他儿子所罗门说: “我在以色列各支派中所选择的耶路撒冷和这殿, 必立我的名直到永远.

33:8 And I will never remove the foot of Israel from upon the land that I appointed to your ancestors, if only you will take care to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the regulations, and the judgments by the hand of Moses.”
以色列人若谨守遵行我藉摩西所吩咐他们的一切法度,律例,典章, 我就不再使他们挪移离开我所赐给他们列祖之地. ”

33:9 And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil more than the nations that Yahweh destroyed before the Israelites.
玛拿西引诱犹大和耶路撒冷的居民, 以致他们行恶比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚.

33:10 And Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not listen.
耶和华警戒玛拿西和他的百姓, 他们却是不听.

33:11 So Yahweh brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria upon them, and they took Manasseh captive with hooks, and they bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.
所以耶和华使亚述王的将帅来攻击他们, 用铙钩钩住玛拿西, 用铜炼锁住他, 带到巴比伦去.

33:12 And when he was in distress he entreated Yahweh his God and greatly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors
他在急难的时候, 就恳求耶和华─他的神, 且在他列祖的神面前极其自卑.

33:13 and prayed to him. And God responded to him and heard his plea and let him return to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
他祈祷耶和华, 耶和华就允准他的祈求, 垂听他的祷告, 使他归回耶路撒冷, 仍坐国位. 玛拿西这才知道惟独耶和华是神.

33:14 Then afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of the Gihon in the valley, and for the entrance into the Gate of the Fishes. And it encircled the Ophel and raised it very high. Then he placed strong commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
此后, 玛拿西在大卫城外, 从谷内基训西边直到鱼门口, 建筑城墙, 环绕俄斐勒, 这墙筑得甚高; 又在犹大各坚固城内设立勇敢的军长;

33:15 And he removed the foreign gods and the carved image from the house of Yahweh and all the altars which he built on the mountain of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside the city.
并除掉外邦人的神像与耶和华殿中的偶像, 又将他在耶和华殿的山上和耶路撒冷所筑的各坛都拆毁抛在城外;

33:16 And he restored the altar of Yahweh and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and thank offerings upon it. And he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
重修耶和华的祭坛, 在坛上献平安祭,感谢祭, 吩咐犹大人事奉耶和华─以色列的神.

33:17 Nevertheless, the people offered at the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
百姓却仍在邱坛上献祭, 只献给耶和华─他们的神.

33:18 Now the remainder of the words of Manasseh and his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the words of the kings of Israel.
玛拿西其余的事和祷告他神的话, 并先见奉耶和华─以色列神的名警戒他的言语, 都写在以色列诸王记上.

33:19 And his prayer, and how he responded to him, all his sin and his unfaithful acts, and the places where he built the high places and set up Asherahs and idols before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the words of the seers.
他的祷告, 与神怎样应允他, 他未自卑以前的罪愆过犯, 并在何处建筑邱坛, 设立亚舍拉和雕刻的偶像, 都写在何赛的书上.

33:20 And Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his house. And Amon his son became king in his place.
玛拿西与他列祖同睡, 葬在自己的宫院里. 他儿子亚们接续他作王.

33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
亚们登基的时候年二十二岁, 在耶路撒冷作王二年.

33:22 And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh as Manasseh his father had done. And Amon sacrificed to all the idols that Manasseh his father had made, and he served them.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 效法他父玛拿西所行的, 祭祀事奉他父玛拿西所雕刻的偶像,

33:23 And he did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father humbled himself, but Amon himself multiplied his guilt.
不在耶和华面前像他父玛拿西自卑. 这亚们所犯的罪越犯越大.

33:24 And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his house.
他的臣仆背叛, 在宫里杀了他.

33:25 But the people of the land struck down all who conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
但国民杀了那些背叛亚们王的人, 立他儿子约西亚接续他作王.

II Chronicles - Chapter 34

34:1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
约西亚登基的时候年八岁, 在耶路撒冷作王三十一年.

34:2 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and he walked in the ways of David his ancestor and did not deviate to the right or to the left.
他行耶和华眼中看为正的事, 效法他祖大卫所行的, 不偏左右.

34:3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of David his ancestor. And in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherahs, the idols, and the images.
他作王第八年, 尚且年幼, 就寻求他祖大卫的神. 到了十二年才洁净犹大和耶路撒冷, 除掉邱坛,木偶,雕刻的像, 和铸造的像.

34:4 And he destroyed before him the altars for the Baals, and he cut down the incense stands above them. And the Asherahs, the idols, and the images he smashed. And he ground them to powder and sprinkled the dust over the burial sites of those who sacrificed to them.
众人在他面前拆毁巴力的坛, 砍断坛上高高的日像, 又把木偶和雕刻的像, 并铸造的像打碎成灰, 撒在祭偶像人的坟上,

34:5 And he burned the bones of the priests on the altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
将他们祭司的骸骨烧在坛上, 洁净了犹大和耶路撒冷;

34:6 And in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, and as far as Naphtali, in their ruins all around,
又在玛拿西,以法莲,西缅,拿弗他利各城, 和四围破坏之处, 都这样行;

34:7 he broke down the altars and the Asherahs and crushed the idols, grinding them to dust, and he cut down all the incense stands in all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
又拆毁祭坛, 把木偶和雕刻的像打碎成灰, 砍断以色列遍地所有的日像, 就回耶路撒冷去了.

34:8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign after he purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the commander of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
约西亚王十八年, 净地净殿之后, 就差遣亚萨利雅的儿子沙番,邑宰玛西雅,约哈斯的儿子史官约亚去修理耶和华─他神的殿.

34:9 And they came to Hilkiah the high priest and gave the money that was brought for the house of God, which the Levites, the guardians of the threshold, had gathered from the hand of Manasseh, Ephraim, and from the whole remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
他们就去见大祭司希勒家, 将奉到神殿的银子交给他; 这银子是看守殿门的利未人从玛拿西,以法莲, 和一切以色列剩下的人, 以及犹大,便雅悯众人, 并耶路撒冷的居民收来的.

34:10 And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen who were appointed in the house of Yahweh, and they in turn gave it to those doing the work who were at work in the house of Yahweh, to repair and restore the house.
又将这银子交给耶和华殿里督工的, 转交修理耶和华殿的工匠,

34:11 And they dispensed it to the skilled craftsmen and the builders to buy stone for hewing and timber for the seams and for binding the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
就是交给木匠,石匠, 买凿成的石头和架木与栋梁, 修犹大王所毁坏的殿.

34:12 And the men did the work faithfully. Over them as supervisors were appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites from the Merarites, and Zechariah and Meshullam from the Kohathites. And other Levites, all who were skilled in instruments of song,
这些人办事诚实, 督工的是利未人米拉利的子孙雅哈,俄巴底; 督催的是哥辖的子孙撒迦利亚,米书兰; 还有善于作乐的利未人.

34:13 were over the porters and were directing all who worked on each task. And some of the Levites were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
他们又监管扛抬的人, 督催一切做工的. 利未人中也有作书记,作司事,作守门的.

34:14 And when they brought out the money that had been brought to the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found a scroll of the law of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
他们将奉到耶和华殿的银子运出来的时候, 祭司希勒家偶然得了摩西所传耶和华的律法书.

34:15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found a scroll of the law in the house of Yahweh!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.
希勒家对书记沙番说: “我在耶和华殿里得了律法书. ”遂将书递给沙番.

34:16 And Shaphan brought the scroll to the king and also informed the king, saying, “All that was put into the hand of your servants they are doing.
沙番把书拿到王那里, 回覆王说: “凡交给仆人们办的都办理了.

34:17 They have dispensed the money which was found in the house of Yahweh and have put it into the hand of the overseers and those doing the work.”
耶和华殿里的银子倒出来, 交给督工的和匠人的手里了. ”

34:18 Then Shaphan the scribe reported to the king, “Hilkiah the priest gave to me a scroll.” Then Shaphan read from it before the king.
书记沙番又对王说: “祭司希勒家递给我一卷书. ”沙番就在王面前读那书.

34:19 And when the king heard the words of the law, he tore his garments,
王听见律法上的话, 就撕裂衣服,

34:20 and the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king, saying,
吩咐希勒家与沙番的儿子亚希甘,米迦的儿子亚比顿,书记沙番, 和王的臣仆亚撒雅说:

34:21 “Go! Seek Yahweh on my behalf and on behalf of those remaining in Israel and Judah concerning the words of the scroll that was found, for the anger of Yahweh that was poured out on us is great, because our ancestors have not kept the word of Yahweh, to do all that is written in this scroll.”
“你们去为我,为以色列和犹大剩下的人, 以这书上的话求问耶和华; 因我们列祖没有遵守耶和华的言语, 没有照这书上所记的去行, 耶和华的烈怒就倒在我们身上. ”

34:22 Then Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments. (Now she was living in Jerusalem in the second district.) And they spoke to her concerning this.
于是, 希勒家和王所派的众人都去见女先知户勒大. 户勒大是掌管礼服沙龙的妻, 沙龙是哈斯拉的孙子,特瓦的儿子. 户勒大住在耶路撒冷第二区; 他们请问于她.

34:23 And she said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Say to the man who sent you all to me:
她对他们说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘你们可以回复那差遣你们来见我的人说,

34:24 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Behold, I am bringing disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants—all the curses written in the scroll that were read before the king of Judah—
耶和华如此说: 我必照着在犹大王面前所读那书上的一切咒诅, 降祸与这地和其上的居民;

34:25 because they have abandoned me and burned incense to other gods so as to provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands. And my wrath will be poured out on this place and it will not be quenched.’
因为他们离弃我, 向别神烧香, 用他们手所做的惹我发怒, 所以我的忿怒如火倒在这地上, 总不熄灭. ’

34:26 But to the king of Judah who sent you to seek Yahweh, thus shall you say to him: ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: As for the words which you heard,
然而差遣你们来求问耶和华的犹大王, 你们要这样回复他说: ‘耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 至于你所听见的话,

34:27 because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants and you humbled yourself before me and tore your garments and wept before me, now I also have heard,’ declares Yahweh.
就是听见我指著这地和其上居民所说的话, 你便心里敬服, 在我面前自卑, 撕裂衣服, 向我哭泣, 因此我应允了你. 这是我─耶和华说的.

34:28 ‘Behold, I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see any of the disaster that I am bringing upon this place.’ ” ’ ”
我必使你平平安安地归到坟墓, 到你列祖那里, 我要降与这地和其上居民的一切灾祸, 你也不致亲眼看见. ’”他们就回覆王去了.

34:29 Then they sent word to the king, and he gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
王差遣人招聚犹大和耶路撒冷的众长老来.

34:30 And the king went up to the house of Yahweh with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with the priests and the Levites—all the people from great to small—and they read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that was found in the house of Yahweh.
王和犹大众人, 与耶路撒冷的居民, 并祭司利未人, 以及所有的百姓, 无论大小, 都一同上到耶和华的殿; 王就把殿里所得的约书念给他们听.

34:31 And the king stood at his position. And he made the covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh and to keep his commands and statutes and regulations with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that were written on this scroll.
王站在他的地位上, 在耶和华面前立约, 要尽心尽性地顺从耶和华, 遵守他的诫命,法度,律例, 成就这书上所记的约言;

34:32 Then he obligated all who were found in Jerusalem and in Benjamin, that the inhabitants of Jerusalem would do according to the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors.
又使住耶路撒冷和便雅悯的人都服从这约. 于是耶路撒冷的居民都遵行他们列祖之神的约.

34:33 And Josiah removed all the detestable things from the whole land that belonged to the Israelites and obligated all who were found in Israel to serve Yahweh their God. All his days they did not turn aside from following Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
约西亚从以色列各处将一切可憎之物尽都除掉, 使以色列境内的人都事奉耶和华─他们的神. 约西亚在世的日子, 就跟从耶和华─他们列祖的神, 总不离开.

II Chronicles - Chapter 35

35:1 Josiah kept the Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem. And they slaughtered the Passover sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the first month.
约西亚在耶路撒冷向耶和华守逾越节. 正月十四日, 就宰了逾越节的羊羔.

35:2 And he set the priests at their posts and encouraged them in the service of the house of Yahweh.
王分派祭司各尽其职, 又勉励他们办耶和华殿中的事;

35:3 And he said to the Levites who were teaching all Israel, who were sanctified to Yahweh, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. There is no need to carry it on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God and his people Israel.
又对那归耶和华为圣,教训以色列人的利未人说: “你们将圣约柜安放在以色列王大卫儿子所罗门建造的殿里, 不必再用肩扛抬. 现在要事奉耶和华─你们的神, 服事他的民以色列.

35:4 And prepare yourselves according to your families, according to your working groups, according to the decree of David king of Israel and according to the decree of Solomon his son.
你们应当按著宗族, 照着班次, 遵以色列王大卫和他儿子所罗门所写的, 自己预备.

35:5 And stand in the sanctuary according to the clans of your families for your brothers, the lay people, and a part of the family of the Levites.
要按着你们的弟兄, 这民宗族的班次, 站在圣所, 每班中要利未宗族的几个人.

35:6 And slaughter the Passover lamb and consecrate yourself and prepare for your brothers to do according to the word of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
要宰逾越节的羊羔, 洁净自己, 为你们的弟兄预备了, 好遵守耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的话. ”

35:7 Then Josiah provided for the lay people sheep, lambs, and young goats, all for the Passover for all who were found there, to the sum of thirty thousand, along with three thousand bulls. These were the possession of the king.
约西亚从群畜中赐给在那里所有的人民, 绵羊羔和山羊羔三万只, 牛三千只, 作逾越节的祭物; 这都是出自王的产业中.

35:8 And his officials contributed a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, commanders of the house of God, gave to the priests two thousand six hundred Passover lambs and three hundred bulls.
约西亚的众首领也乐意将牺牲给百姓和祭司利未人; 又有管理神殿的希勒家,撒迦利亚,耶歇将羊羔二千六百只, 牛三百只, 给祭司作逾越节的祭物.

35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jehozabad, commanders of the Levites, contributed to the Levites five thousand Passover lambs and five hundred bulls.
利未人的族长歌楠雅和他两个兄弟示玛雅,拿坦业, 与哈沙比雅,耶利,约撒拔将羊羔五千只, 牛五百只, 给利未人作逾越节的祭物.

35:10 And when the work had been completed, the priests stood at their positions and the Levites in their working groups according to the command of the king.
这样, 供献的事齐备了. 祭司站在自己的地方, 利未人按著班次站立, 都是照王所吩咐的.

35:11 And they slaughtered the Passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed the sacrifices.
利未人宰了逾越节的羊羔, 祭司从他们手里接过血来洒在坛上; 利未人剥皮,

35:12 And they set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the clans of the families for the lay people, to offer to Yahweh according to what is written in the scroll of Moses. And thus they did with the bulls.
将燔祭搬来, 按著宗族的班次分给众民, 好照摩西书上所写的, 献给耶和华; 献牛也是这样.

35:13 Then they roasted the Passover lamb in the fire according to the ordinance. And they boiled the holy offerings in pots, in kettles, and in dishes and brought it quickly to the lay people.
他们按著常例, 用火烤逾越节的羊羔. 别的圣物用锅, 用釜, 用罐煮了, 速速地送给众民.

35:14 And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. So the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
然后为自己和祭司预备祭物; 因为祭司亚伦的子孙献燔祭和脂油, 直到晚上. 所以利未人为自己和祭司亚伦的子孙, 预备祭物.

35:15 And the singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the decree of David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the seer of the king. And the gatekeepers were at each gate. They did not need to depart from their service, for their brothers the Levites had made preparations for them.
歌唱的亚萨之子孙, 照着大卫,亚萨,希幔, 和王的先见耶杜顿所吩咐的, 站在自己的地位上. 守门的看守各门, 不用离开他们的职事, 因为他们的弟兄利未人给他们预备祭物.

35:16 So all the service of Yahweh was prepared on that day to keep the Passover and to sacrifice burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the command of King Josiah.
当日, 供奉耶和华的事齐备了, 就照约西亚王的吩咐守逾越节, 献燔祭在耶和华的坛上.

35:17 And the Israelites who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days.
当时在耶路撒冷的以色列人守逾越节, 又守除酵节七日.

35:18 And there was no Passover like it kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. And none of the kings of Israel kept a Passover like that which Josiah and the priests and the Levites, and all of Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, kept.
自从先知撒母耳以来, 在以色列中没有守过这样的逾越节, 以色列诸王也没有守过, 像约西亚,祭司,利未人,在那里的犹大人, 和以色列人, 以及耶路撒冷居民所守的逾越节.

35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.
这逾越节是约西亚作王十八年守的.

35:20 After all of this that Josiah had prepared for the temple, Neco the king of Egypt went up to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah went up to meet him.
这事以后, 约西亚修完了殿, 有埃及王尼哥上来, 要攻击靠近幼发拉底河的迦基米施; 约西亚出去抵挡他.

35:21 And he sent messengers to him, saying, “What is there between us, O king of Judah? I am not against you yourself this day, but against the house making war against me. And God has commanded me to make haste. Stop opposing God, who is with me that he will not destroy you.”
他差遣使者来见约西亚, 说: “犹大王啊, 我与你何干? 我今日来不是要攻击你, 乃是要攻击与我争战之家, 并且神吩咐我速行, 你不要干预神的事, 免得他毁灭你, 因为神是与我同在. ”

35:22 But Josiah did not turn his face from him, but he disguised himself to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and he went out to fight in the plain of Megiddo.
约西亚却不肯转去离开他, 改装要与他打仗, 不听从神藉尼哥之口所说的话, 便来到米吉多平原争战.

35:23 And the archers shot King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded.”
弓箭手射中约西亚王. 王对他的臣仆说: “我受了重伤, 你拉我出阵吧! ”

35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot and transported him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died and was buried in the burial sites of his ancestors. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned over Josiah.
他的臣仆扶他下了战车, 上了次车, 送他到耶路撒冷, 他就死了, 葬在他列祖的坟墓里. 犹大人和耶路撒冷人都为他悲哀.

35:25 And Jeremiah uttered a lament for Josiah, and all the male and female singers have spoken in their laments about Josiah to this day. And they made them a requirement in Israel, and behold, they are written in the laments.
耶利米为约西亚作哀歌. 所有歌唱的男女也唱哀歌, 追悼约西亚, 直到今日; 而且在以色列中成了定例. 这歌载在哀歌书上.

35:26 Now the remainder of the words of Josiah and his loyal love for what is written in the law of Yahweh
约西亚其余的事和他遵著耶和华律法上所记而行的善事,

35:27 and his words, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
并他自始至终所行的, 都写在以色列和犹大列王记上.

II Chronicles - Chapter 36

36:1 And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and made him king in place of his father in Jerusalem.
国民立约西亚的儿子约哈斯在耶路撒冷接续他父作王.

36:2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
约哈斯登基的时候年二十三岁, 在耶路撒冷作王三个月.

36:3 Then the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and laid a tribute upon the land of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
埃及王在耶路撒冷废了他, 又罚犹大国银子一百他连得, 金子一他连得.

36:4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz his brother and brought him to Egypt.
埃及王尼哥立约哈斯的哥哥以利雅敬作犹大和耶路撒冷的王, 改名叫约雅敬, 又将约哈斯带到埃及去了.

36:5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh his God.
约雅敬登基的时候年二十五岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十一年, 行耶和华─他神眼中看为恶的事.

36:6 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon went up against him, and he bound him with bronze fetters to bring him to Babylon.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上来攻击他, 用铜炼锁着他, 要将他带到巴比伦去.

36:7 And Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon the objects of the house of Yahweh and put them into the temple in Babylon.
尼布甲尼撒又将耶和华殿里的器皿带到巴比伦, 放在他神的庙里(或译: 自己的宫里).

36:8 Now the remainder of the words of Jehoiakim and the detestable things that he did and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
约雅敬其余的事和他所行可憎的事, 并他一切的行为, 都写在以色列和犹大列王记上. 他儿子约雅斤接续他作王.

36:9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh.
约雅斤登基的时候年八岁(在列王下二十四章八节是十八岁), 在耶路撒冷作王三个月零十天, 行耶和华眼中看为恶的事.

36:10 And at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with objects of the treasure of the house of Yahweh. And he made Zedekiah his brother king in Judah and Jerusalem.
过了一年, 尼布甲尼撒差遣人将约雅斤和耶和华殿里各样宝贵的器皿带到巴比伦, 就立约雅斤的叔叔(原文是兄)西底家作犹大和耶路撒冷的王.

36:11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
西底家登基的时候年二十一岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十一年,

36:12 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet who spoke for Yahweh.
行耶和华─他神眼中看为恶的事. 先知耶利米以耶和华的话劝他, 他仍不在耶利米面前自卑.

36:13 And he also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
尼布甲尼撒曾使他指著神起誓, 他却背叛, 强项硬心, 不归服耶和华─以色列的神.

36:14 All the leaders of the priests and the people likewise increased in unfaithfulness according to all the detestable things of the nations. And they polluted the house of Yahweh that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
众祭司长和百姓也大大犯罪, 效法外邦人一切可憎的事, 污秽耶和华在耶路撒冷分别为圣的殿.

36:15 And Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, had repeatedly and persistently sent to them by the hand of his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.
耶和华─他们列祖的神因为爱惜自己的民和他的居所, 从早起来差遣使者去警戒他们.

36:16 But they were mocking the messengers of God and despising his words and scoffing at his prophets until the wrath of Yahweh rose against his people until there was no remedy.
他们却嘻笑神的使者, 藐视他的言语, 讥诮他的先知, 以致耶和华的忿怒向他的百姓发作, 无法可救.

36:17 Therefore he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary. He showed no mercy on a young man, a virgin, the elderly, or decrepit. He delivered all into his hand.
所以, 耶和华使迦勒底人的王来攻击他们, 在他们圣殿里用刀杀了他们的壮丁, 不怜恤他们的少男处女,老人白叟. 耶和华将他们都交在迦勒底王手里.

36:18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, the storehouses of the house of Yahweh, and the storehouses of the king and his princes, these all he brought to Babylon.
迦勒底王将神殿里的大小器皿与耶和华殿里的财宝, 并王和众首领的财宝, 都带到巴比伦去了.

36:19 And they burned the house of God. And they shattered the walls of Jerusalem and burned its citadels with fire and destroyed all the vessels of its treasuries.
迦勒底人焚烧神的殿, 拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙, 用火烧了城里的宫殿, 毁坏了城里宝贵的器皿.

36:20 And he took those who escaped the sword to Babylon. And they became servants to him and to his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,
凡脱离刀剑的, 迦勒底王都掳到巴比伦去, 作他和他子孙的仆婢, 直到波斯国兴起来.

36:21 to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land has enjoyed its Sabbaths. All the days of desolation it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
这就应验耶和华藉耶利米口所说的话: 地享受安息; 因为地土荒凉便守安息, 直满了七十年.

36:22 And in the first year of Cyrus, the king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also in writing, saying:
波斯王塞鲁士元年, 耶和华为要应验藉耶利米口所说的话, 就激动波斯王塞鲁士的心, 使他下诏通告全国, 说:

36:23 “Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia: ‘Yahweh the God of heaven has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has appointed me to build a house for him at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh his God go up with him.’ ”
“波斯王塞鲁士如此说: 耶和华─天上的神已将天下万国赐给我, 又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇. 你们中间凡作他子民的, 可以上去, 愿耶和华─他的神与他同在. ”

Ezra (以斯拉记)

Ezra - Chapter 1

1:1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to accomplish the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia and he sent a message to all of his kingdom and also put the message in writing:
波斯王塞鲁士元年, 耶和华为要应验藉耶利米口所说的话, 就激动波斯王塞鲁士的心, 使他下诏通告全国说:

1:2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: Yahweh, the God of the heavens, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he himself has appointed me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
“波斯王塞鲁士如此说: ‘耶和华天上的神已将天下万国赐给我, 又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇.

1:3 Whoever among you who is from all of his people, may his God be with him and may he go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and may he build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
在你们中间凡作他子民的, 可以上犹大的耶路撒冷, 在耶路撒冷重建耶和华─以色列神的殿(只有他是神). 愿神与这人同在.

1:4 And let every survivor, from wherever he resides be assisted by the men of that place with silver and gold, with possessions and domestic animals, and with the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.”
凡剩下的人, 无论寄居何处, 那地的人要用金银,财物,牲畜帮助他, 另外也要为耶路撒冷神的殿甘心献上礼物. ’”

1:5 So the heads of the families for Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites—to all whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and build the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem.
于是, 犹大和便雅悯的族长,祭司,利未人, 就是一切被神激动他心的人, 都起来要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和华的殿.

1:6 And all of their neighbors helped them with objects of silver, gold, possessions, domestic animals, and with valuable gifts—besides all of the freewill offering.
他们四围的人就拿银器,金子,财物,牲畜,珍宝帮助他们(原文是坚固他们的手), 另外还有甘心献的礼物.

1:7 And Cyrus the king brought out the objects of the house of Yahweh that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods.
塞鲁士王也将耶和华殿的器皿拿出来, 这器皿是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷掠来,放在自己神之庙中的.

1:8 Cyrus the king of Persia let them go out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and he counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
波斯王塞鲁士派库官米提利达将这器皿拿出来, 按数交给犹大的首领设巴萨.

1:9 Now these were the inventories: thirty gold metal dishes, one thousand silver metal dishes, twenty-nine vessels,
器皿的数目记在下面: 金盘三十个, 银盘一千个, 刀二十九把,

1:10 thirty bowls of gold, four hundred and ten matching silver metal bowls, and one thousand other objects.
金碗三十个, 银碗之次的四百一十个, 别样的器皿一千件.

1:11 All of the objects of gold and silver metal were five thousand four hundred. All this Sheshbazzar brought up along with the exiles from Babylonia to Jerusalem.
金银器皿共有五千四百件. 被掳的人从巴比伦上耶路撒冷的时候, 设巴萨将这一切都带上来.

Ezra - Chapter 2

2:1 Now these were the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exile whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon carried captive to Babylonia. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own city.

2:69 According to their ability they gave to the treasury room for the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly tunics.
他们量力捐入工程库的金子六万一千达利克, 银子五千弥拿, 并祭司的礼服一百件.

于是祭司,利未人,民中的一些人,歌唱的,守门的,尼提宁, 并以色列众人, 各住在自己的城里.

Ezra - Chapter 3

3:1 Now the seventh month drew near and the Israelites were in the cities, so the people gathered as one in Jerusalem.
到了七月, 以色列人住在各城; 那时他们如同一人, 聚集在耶路撒冷.

3:2 And Jeshua son of Jehozadak and his brothers the priests stood up, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers built the altar of the God of Israel, in order to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God.
约萨达的儿子耶书亚和他的弟兄众祭司, 并撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯与他的弟兄, 都起来建筑以色列神的坛, 要照神人摩西律法书上所写的, 在坛上献燔祭.

3:3 They set up the altar on its foundations, because they were in terror because of the peoples of the lands. And they offered burnt offerings on it for Yahweh, burnt offerings for the morning and the evening.
他们在原有的根基上筑坛, 因惧怕邻国的民, 又在其上向耶和华早晚献燔祭,

3:4 And they kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered burnt offerings day by day in number according to the ordinance as described for each day.
又照律法书上所写的守住棚节, 按数照例献每日所当献的燔祭;

3:5 After this, they presented the daily sacrifice of burnt offerings, the offerings for the New Moon Festival, and for all of the appointed times consecrated for Yahweh and for all who gave a freewill offering to Yahweh.
其后献常献的燔祭, 并在月朔与耶和华的一切圣节献祭, 又向耶和华献各人的甘心祭.

3:6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh. But the temple of Yahweh was not yet founded.
从七月初一日起, 他们就向耶和华献燔祭. 但耶和华殿的根基尚未立定.

3:7 So they gave money to the stone craftsmen and skilled craftsmen, and food, drink, and olive oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the authorization over them of Cyrus king of Persia.
他们又将银子给石匠,木匠, 把粮食,酒,油给西顿人,泰尔人, 使他们将香柏树从黎巴嫩运到海里, 浮海运到约帕, 是照波斯王塞鲁士所允准的.

3:8 In the second year after their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jehozadak began their work, and the remainder of their brothers the priests and the Levites and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem. They appointed the Levites from twenty years and older to direct the work of the house of Yahweh.
百姓到了耶路撒冷神殿的地方. 第二年二月, 撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯, 约萨达的儿子耶书亚和其余的弟兄, 就是祭司,利未人, 并一切被掳归回耶路撒冷的人, 都兴工建造; 又派利未人, 从二十岁以外的, 督理建造耶和华殿的工作.

3:9 And Jeshua with his sons and brothers, and Kadmiel and his sons—the sons of Judah—together directed the workers in the house of God, along with the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers the Levites.
于是犹大(在二章四十节作何达威雅)的后裔, 就是耶书亚和他的子孙与弟兄, 甲篾和他的子孙, 利未人希拿达的子孙与弟兄, 都一同起来, 督理那在神殿做工的人.

3:10 And the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, and the priests in their apparel with the trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with the cymbals, were positioned to praise Yahweh, as described by King David of Israel.
匠人立耶和华殿根基的时候, 祭司皆穿礼服吹号, 亚萨的子孙利未人敲钹, 照以色列王大卫所定的例, 都站着赞美耶和华.

3:11 And they sang responsively, with praising and thanksgiving to Yahweh saying, “For he is good, for his loyal love is everlasting for Israel.” And all of the people responded with a great shout of joyful acclaim in praise to Yahweh because the house of Yahweh was laid.
他们彼此唱和, 赞美称谢耶和华说: 他本为善, 他向以色列人永发慈爱. 他们赞美耶和华的时候, 众民大声呼喊, 因耶和华殿的根基已经立定.

3:12 But many of the elderly priests, Levites, and heads of the families who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house, but many shouted aloud with joy.
然而有许多祭司,利未人,族长, 就是见过旧殿的老年人, 现在亲眼看见立这殿的根基, 便大声哭号, 也有许多人大声欢呼,

3:13 No person could distinguish the sound of joyful acclaim from the sound of people weeping, for the people shouted with great joyful acclaim and the sound was heard from afar.
甚至百姓不能分辨欢呼的声音和哭号的声音; 因为众人大声呼喊, 声音听到远处.

Ezra - Chapter 4

4:1 Now the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple for Yahweh the God of Israel.
犹大和便雅悯的敌人听说被掳归回的人为耶和华─以色列的神建造殿宇,

4:2 And they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families, and they said to them, “Let us build with you. Like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to him from the days of Esarhaddon the king of Assyria who brought us up here.
就去见所罗巴伯和以色列的族长, 对他们说: “请容我们与你们一同建造; 因为我们寻求你们的神, 与你们一样. 自从亚述王以撒哈顿带我们上这地以来, 我们常祭祀神. ”

4:3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel said to them, “It is not for you but for us to build a house for our God. For we ourselves alone will build it for Yahweh the God of Israel, just as Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.”
但所罗巴伯,耶书亚, 和其余以色列的族长对他们说: “我们建造神的殿与你们无干, 我们自己为耶和华─以色列的神协力建造, 是照波斯王塞鲁士所吩咐的. ”

4:4 Then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah and made them afraid to build
那地的民, 就在犹大人建造的时候, 使他们的手发软, 扰乱他们;

4:5 and bribed officials against them to frustrate their plan for all the days of Cyrus king of Persia until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
从波斯王塞鲁士年间, 直到波斯王大流士登基的时候, 贿买谋士, 要败坏他们的谋算.

4:6 In the reign of Ahasuerus, at the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
在亚哈随鲁才登基的时候, 上本控告犹大和耶路撒冷的居民.

4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their colleagues wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia. The letter was written in Aramaic and translated from Aramaic.
亚达薛西年间, 比施兰,米特利达,他别, 和他们的同党上本奏告波斯王亚达薛西. 本章是用亚兰文字, 亚兰方言.

4:8 Rehum the royal officer and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to King Artaxerxes as follows
省长利宏,书记伸帅要控告耶路撒冷人, 也上本奏告亚达薛西王.

4:9 (then Rehum the royal officer, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates, the judges, the envoys, the officials, the Persians, the Erechs, the Babylonians, the Susians (that is the Elamites)
省长利宏,书记伸帅, 和同党的底拿人,亚法萨提迦人,他毘拉人,亚法撒人,亚基卫人,巴比伦人,书珊迦人,底亥人,以拦人,

4:10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and the rest of the province Beyond the River) and now
和尊大的亚斯那巴所迁移,安置在撒马利亚城, 并大河西一带地方的人等,

4:11 this is the copy of the letter which they sent to him: “To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the province Beyond the River. And now,
上奏亚达薛西王说: “河西的臣民云云:

4:12 be it known to the king that the Jews who have come up from near you to us have gone to Jerusalem. They are building the rebellious and wicked city. They are finishing the wall and repairing the foundation.
王该知道, 从王那里上到我们这里的犹大人, 已经到耶路撒冷重建这反叛恶劣的城, 筑立根基, 建造城墙.

4:13 Now be it known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are finished, they will not pay tribute and toll, and the royal revenue will be reduced.
如今王该知道, 他们若建造这城, 城墙完毕就不再与王进贡, 交课, 纳税, 终久王必受亏损.

4:14 Now since we eat the salt of the palace and the dishonor of the king is not proper for us to see, we send and make this known to the king,
我们既食御盐, 不忍见王吃亏, 因此奏告于王.

4:15 so that it may be investigated in the book of records of your ancestors. You will find in the book of records and learn that this city is a rebellious city, hurtful to kings and provinces, and they have rebelled in its midst from ancient times. Because of that this city was destroyed.
请王考察先王的实录, 必在其上查知这城是反叛的城, 与列王和各省有害; 自古以来, 其中常有悖逆的事, 因此这城曾被拆毁.

4:16 We make known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are finished, you will have nothing in the province Beyond the River.”
我们谨奏王知, 这城若再建造, 城墙完毕, 河西之地王就无分了. ”

4:17 The king sent a reply: “To Rehum the royal officer, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates who live in Samaria and the rest of the province Beyond the River, greetings. And now
那时王谕覆省长利宏,书记伸帅, 和他们的同党, 就是住撒马利亚并河西一带地方的人, 说: “愿你们平安云云.

4:18 the letter that you sent to us has been translated and read before me.
你们所上的本, 已经明读在我面前.

4:19 And I issued a decree, and they searched and found that this city from ancient days revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition has been made in it.
我已命人考查, 得知此城古来果然背叛列王, 其中常有反叛悖逆的事.

4:20 Mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem, governing all the province Beyond the River, to whom tribute, duty, and tax has been given.
从前耶路撒冷也有大君王统管河西全地, 人就给他们进贡, 交课, 纳税.

4:21 So now, issue forth a decree that these men stop and this city not be built, until a decree is issued from me.
现在你们要出告示命这些人停工, 使这城不得建造, 等我降旨.

4:22 And be careful not to be negligent on this matter. Why should damage grow to hurt kings?”
你们当谨慎, 不可迟延, 为何容害加重, 使王受亏损呢? ”

4:23 Then when a copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their associates they returned in a hurry to Jerusalem against the Jews and they stopped them by force and power.
亚达薛西王的上谕读在利宏和书记伸帅, 并他们的同党面前, 他们就急忙往耶路撒冷去见犹大人, 用势力强迫他们停工.

4:24 Then the work on the house of God in Jerusalem stopped, and was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
于是, 在耶路撒冷神殿的工程就停止了, 直停到波斯王大流士第二年.

Ezra - Chapter 5

5:1 Now the prophets, Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and in Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel who was over them.
那时, 先知哈该和易多的孙子撒迦利亚奉以色列神的名向犹大和耶路撒冷的犹大人说劝勉的话.

5:2 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak set out and began to build the house of God that is in Jerusalem. And with them the prophets of God were helping them.
于是撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约萨达的儿子耶书亚都起来动手建造耶路撒冷神的殿, 有神的先知在那里帮助他们.

5:3 At the same time Tattenai, governor of the province Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus: “Who issued you all a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?”
当时河西的总督达乃和示他‧波斯乃, 并他们的同党来问说: “谁降旨让你们建造这殿, 修成这墙呢? ”

5:4 Then we asked them this: “What are the names of the men who are building this building?”
我们便告诉他们建造这殿的人叫甚么名字.

5:5 And the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them until the report came to Darius, and then answer was received.
神的眼目看顾犹大的长老, 以致总督等没有叫他们停工, 直到这事奏告大流士, 得着他的回谕.

5:6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor of the province Beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai and his associates the envoys who were in the province Beyond the River sent to Darius the king.
河西的总督达乃和示他‧波斯乃, 并他们的同党, 就是住河西的亚法萨迦人, 上本奏告大流士王.

5:7 They sent to him the report in which was written as follows: “To Darius the king, all peace.
本上写着说: “愿大流士王诸事平安.

5:8 May it be known to the king that we went to the province of Judah, the house of the great God. It is being built with stone blocks and timber is being put in the walls. This work is being done with diligence and is making progress in their hands.
王该知道, 我们往犹大省去, 到了至大神的殿, 这殿是用大石建造的. 梁木插入墙内, 工作甚速, 他们手下亨通.

5:9 Then we asked those elders and said this to them, ‘Who issued forth to you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?’
我们就问那些长老说: ‘谁降旨让你们建造这殿, 修成这墙呢? ’

5:10 We also asked them their names to make them known to you, that we might write down the name of their leaders.
又问他们的名字, 要记录他们首领的名字, 奏告于王.

5:11 And this is the answer they returned to us: ‘We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house that was built formerly many years ago, which a great king of Israel had built and finished.
他们回答说: ‘我们是天地之神的仆人, 重建前多年所建造的殿, 就是以色列的一位大君王建造修成的.

5:12 But because our ancestors angered the God of heaven, he gave them into the hand of the Chaldean King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He destroyed this house and carried away the people to Babylonia.
只因我们列祖惹天上的神发怒, 神把他们交在迦勒底人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中, 他就拆毁这殿, 又将百姓掳到巴比伦.

5:13 But in the first year of King Cyrus of Babylon’s reign he issued forth a decree to build this house of God.
然而巴比伦王塞鲁士元年, 他降旨允准建造神的这殿.

5:14 Also, the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took away from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple in Babylonia, King Cyrus removed them from the temple in Babylonia and they were given to Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor.
神殿中的金,银器皿, 就是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿中掠去带到巴比伦庙里的, 塞鲁士王从巴比伦庙里取出来, 交给派为省长的, 名叫设巴萨,

5:15 He said to him, ‘Take these vessels. Go put them in the temple in Jerusalem and let the house of God be built on its site.’
对他说可以将这些器皿带去, 放在耶路撒冷的殿中, 在原处建造神的殿.

5:16 Then this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem. And from that time until now it is being built, but not yet finished.’
于是这设巴萨来建立耶路撒冷神殿的根基. 这殿从那时直到如今尚未造成. ’

5:17 And now, if it seems good for the king, let it be investigated in the house of the treasury of the king in Babylonia to see if a decree was issued forth from King Cyrus to build this house of God in Jerusalem. And let the king send to us his desire on this matter.”
现在王若以为美, 请察巴比伦王的府库, 看塞鲁士王降旨允准在耶路撒冷建造神的殿没有, 王的心意如何? 请降旨晓谕我们. ”

Ezra - Chapter 6

6:1 Then King Darius issued forth a decree, and they searched the house of the treasury of scrolls being stored in Babylonia.
于是大流士王降旨, 要寻察典籍库内, 就是在巴比伦藏宝物之处;

6:2 But it was in Ecbatana in the province of Media, in the citadel, that a certain scroll had written on it, “A record.
在米底亚省亚马他城的宫内寻得一卷, 其中记着说:

6:3 In the first year of King Cyrus, he issued forth a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem. Let the house be built, the place where sacrifices are offered and let its foundations be raised. Its height shall be sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits,
“塞鲁士王元年, 他降旨论到耶路撒冷神的殿, 要建造这殿为献祭之处, 坚立殿的根基. 殿高六十肘, 宽六十肘,

6:4 with three layers of great stones and a layer of timber. Let the new expenses be paid from the house of the king.
用三层大石头, 一层新木头, 经费要出于王库;

6:5 Also, let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylonia, be returned and brought to the temple in Jerusalem to its place. Put them in the house of God.”
并且神殿的金银器皿, 就是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿中掠到巴比伦的, 要归还带到耶路撒冷的殿中, 各按原处放在神的殿里. ”

6:6 “Now then, Tattenai governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your associates, the envoys who are in the province Beyond the River—keep far away from there.
“现在河西的总督达乃和示他‧波斯乃, 并你们的同党, 就是住河西的亚法萨迦人, 你们当远离他们.

6:7 Leave this work of the house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.
不要拦阻神殿的工作, 任凭犹大人的省长和犹大人的长老在原处建造神的这殿.

6:8 And I issue forth a decree for what you should do for these elders of the Jews to build this house of God. The full expense will be paid to these men from the riches of the king from the taxes of the province Beyond the River, without delay.
我又降旨, 吩咐你们向犹大人的长老为建造神的殿当怎样行, 就是从河西的款项中, 急速拨取贡银作他们的经费, 免得耽误工作.

6:9 Whatever may be needed—young bulls, young rams, sheep for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil for the priests in Jerusalem—let it be given to them day by day with no negligence,
他们与天上的神献燔祭所需用的公牛犊,公绵羊,绵羊羔, 并所用的麦子,盐,酒,油, 都要照耶路撒冷祭司的话, 每日供给他们, 不得有误;

6:10 that they may offer incense offerings to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and his children.
好叫他们献馨香的祭给天上的神, 又为王和王众子的寿命祈祷.

6:11 Furthermore, I issue forth a decree that if any person violates this decree, let a beam be pulled out from his house and let him be impaled on it. And let his house be made a pile of rubble on account of this.
我再降旨, 无论谁更改这命令, 必从他房屋中拆出一根梁来, 把他举起, 悬在其上, 又使他的房屋成为粪堆.

6:12 May the God who has set his name there overthrow any king or people who sets his hand to alter or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, issue forth a decree. Let it be done with diligence.”
若有王和民伸手更改这命令, 拆毁这殿, 愿那使耶路撒冷的殿作为他名居所的神将他们灭绝. 我─大流士降这旨意, 当速速遵行. ”

6:13 Then Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates consequently did with diligence what Darius the king ordered.
于是, 河西总督达乃和示他‧波斯乃, 并他们的同党, 因大流士王所发的命令, 就急速遵行.

6:14 So the elders of the Jews were building and prospering, through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They finished building by the command of the God of Israel and by the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and King Artaxerxes of Persia.
犹大长老因先知哈该和易多的孙子撒迦利亚所说劝勉的话就建造这殿, 凡事亨通. 他们遵著以色列神的命令和波斯王塞鲁士,大流士,亚达薛西的旨意, 建造完毕.

6:15 This house was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.
大流士王第六年, 亚达月初三日, 这殿修成了.

6:16 And the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the returned exiles celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy.
以色列的祭司和利未人, 并其余被掳归回的人都欢欢喜喜地行奉献神殿的礼.

6:17 And they offered during the dedication of this house of God one hundred young bulls, two hundred young rams, four hundred lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering for Israel according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
行奉献神殿的礼就献公牛一百只, 公绵羊二百只, 绵羊羔四百只, 又照以色列支派的数目献公山羊十二只, 为以色列众人作赎罪祭;

6:18 Then they set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their sections for the work of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
且派祭司和利未人按著班次在耶路撒冷事奉神, 是照摩西律法书上所写的.

6:19 On the fourteenth day of the first month the returned exiles observed the Passover feast.
正月十四日, 被掳归回的人守逾越节.

6:20 For the priests and Levites together had consecrated themselves; all of them were clean. And they slaughtered the Passover sacrifice for all of the returned exiles, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
原来, 祭司和利未人一同自洁, 无一人不洁净. 利未人为被掳归回的众人和他们的弟兄众祭司, 并为自己宰逾越节的羊羔.

6:21 The Israelites who returned from the exile and all those who separated themselves from the uncleanness of the nations of the earth to seek Yahweh the God of Israel, ate.
从掳到之地归回的以色列人和一切除掉所染外邦人污秽,归附他们,要寻求耶和华─以色列神的人都吃这羊羔,

6:22 With joy they celebrated the festival of unleavened bread for seven days, because Yahweh had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them in order to help them with the work of their hands on the house of the God of Israel.
欢欢喜喜地守除酵节七日; 因为耶和华使他们欢喜, 又使亚述王的心转向他们, 坚固他们的手, 作以色列神殿的工程.

Ezra - Chapter 7

7:1 After these things during the reign of King Artaxerxes of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
这事以后, 波斯王亚达薛西年间, 有个以斯拉, 他是西莱雅的儿子, 西莱雅是亚撒利雅的儿子, 亚撒利雅是希勒家的儿子,

7:2 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
希勒家是沙龙的儿子, 沙龙是撒督的儿子, 撒督是亚希突的儿子,

7:3 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
亚希突是亚玛利雅的儿子, 亚玛利雅是亚撒利雅的儿子, 亚撒利雅是米拉约的儿子,

7:4 , son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
米拉约是西拉希雅的儿子, 西拉希雅是乌西的儿子, 乌西是布基的儿子,

7:5 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the chief priest—
布基是亚比书的儿子, 亚比书是非尼哈的儿子, 非尼哈是以利亚撒的儿子, 以利亚撒是大祭司亚伦的儿子.

7:6 this Ezra went up from Babylonia. He was a scribe skilled in the law of Moses, which Yahweh the God of Israel gave. The king granted him all his requests, for the hand of Yahweh was upon him.
这以斯拉从巴比伦上来, 他是敏捷的文士, 通达耶和华─以色列神所赐摩西的律法书. 王允准他一切所求的, 是因耶和华─他神的手帮助他.

7:7 Some of the Israelites, some priests and Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.
亚达薛西王第七年, 以色列人,祭司,利未人,歌唱的,守门的,尼提宁, 有上耶路撒冷的.

7:8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
王第七年五月, 以斯拉到了耶路撒冷.

7:9 For on the first day of the first month he began the journey from Babylonia; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was on him.
正月初一日, 他从巴比伦起程; 因他神施恩的手帮助他, 五月初一日就到了耶路撒冷.

7:10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Yahweh, to do it, and to teach the regulations and judgments in Israel.
以斯拉定志考究遵行耶和华的律法, 又将律例典章教训以色列人.

7:11 This is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the scroll of the words of the commands of Yahweh and his statutes for Israel:
祭司以斯拉是通达耶和华诫命和赐以色列之律例的文士. 亚达薛西王赐给他们谕旨, 上面写着说:

7:12 “Artaxerxes, the king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of the heavens. Peace. And now
“诸王之王亚达薛西, 达于祭司以斯拉通达天上神律法大德的文士, 云云.

7:13 I issue forth a decree that any of the people of Israel, their priests, or their Levites in my kingdom who are willing to go to Jerusalem may go with you.
住在我国中的以色列人,祭司,利未人, 凡甘心上耶路撒冷去的, 我降旨准他们与你同去.

7:14 For you are sent from the king and his seven counselors to enquire about Judah and Jerusalem concerning the law of your God, which is in your hand.
王与七个谋士既然差你去, 照你手中神的律法书察问犹大和耶路撒冷的景况;

7:15 Also, bring the silver and gold that the king and his advisors have freely offered to the God of Israel whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
又带金银, 就是王和谋士甘心献给住耶路撒冷,以色列神的,

7:16 and all of the silver and gold that you will find in the whole province of Babylonia, with the freewill offerings of the people and the priests giving willingly for the house of their God in Jerusalem.
并带你在巴比伦全省所得的金银, 和百姓,祭司乐意献给耶路撒冷─他们神殿的礼物.

7:17 With this money, then, with diligence you must buy young bulls, young rams, lambs, and their offerings and libations. You must offer them on the altar that is in the house of your God in Jerusalem.
所以你当用这金银, 急速买公牛,公绵羊,绵羊羔, 和同献的素祭奠祭之物, 献在耶路撒冷─你们神殿的坛上.

7:18 You may do whatever seems best to you and your brothers to do with the remainder of the silver and gold according to the desire of your God.
剩下的金银, 你和你的弟兄看着怎样好, 就怎样用, 总要遵著你们神的旨意.

7:19 And the vessels that were given to you for the service of the house of your God you shall deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
所交给你神殿中使用的器皿, 你要交在耶路撒冷神面前.

7:20 And the remainder of the needs for the house of your God that falls to you to provide, you may provide from the house of the king’s treasury.”
你神殿里若再有需用的经费, 你可以从王的府库里支取.

7:21 “I, even I, King Artaxerxes, issue forth a decree to all the treasurers who are in the province Beyond the River. Whatever the priest Ezra, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may ask of you, let it be done with diligence,
“我─亚达薛西王又降旨与河西的一切库官, 说: ‘通达天上神律法的文士祭司以斯拉, 无论向你们要甚么, 你们要速速地备办,

7:22 up to one hundred talents of silver, one hundred measures of wheat, one hundred baths of wine, one hundred baths of oil, and unlimited salt.
就是银子直到一百他连得, 麦子一百柯珥, 酒一百罢特, 油一百罢特, 盐不计其数, 也要给他.

7:23 All that is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done with diligence for the house of the God of heaven, otherwise wrath will come on the kingdom of the king and his sons.
凡天上之神所吩咐的, 当为天上神的殿详细办理. 为何使忿怒临到王和王众子的国呢?

7:24 You also should be aware that it is not permitted to place tax, tribute, or duty upon all of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the temple servants, and other servants of the house of God.
我又晓谕你们, 至于祭司,利未人,歌唱的,守门的, 和尼提宁, 并在神殿当差的人, 不可叫他们进贡, 交课, 纳税. ’

7:25 “You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that you possess, appoint magistrates and judges who can judge all of the people in the province Beyond the River who know the laws of your God. And you will teach those who do not know.
“以斯拉啊, 要照着你神赐你的智慧, 将所有明白你神律法的人立为士师,审判官, 治理河西的百姓, 使他们教训一切不明白神律法的人.

7:26 All who do not obey the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with diligence, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of goods and for imprisonment.”
凡不遵行你神律法和王命令的人就当速速定他的罪, 或治死, 或充军, 或抄家, 或囚禁. ”

7:27 Blessed be Yahweh the God of our ancestors, who put this in the heart of the king to glorify the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem
以斯拉说: “耶和华─我们列祖的神是应当称颂的! 因他使王起这心意修饰耶路撒冷耶和华的殿,

7:28 and who extended to me loyal love before the king and his counselors, and before all of the mighty officials of the king. I took courage, for the hand of Yahweh my God was upon me, and I gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me.
又在王和谋士, 并大能的军长面前施恩于我. 因耶和华─我神的手帮助我, 我就得以坚强, 从以色列中招聚首领, 与我一同上来. ”

Ezra - Chapter 8

8:1 These were the heads of their families and the register of those returnees from Babylonia who came up with me in the reign of King Artaxerxes:

属比革瓦伊的子孙有乌太和撒布, 同着他们有男丁七十.

8:15 I gathered them by the river that goes to Ahava and we camped there for three days. And I looked at the people and the priests, I found no one there from the sons of Levi.
我招聚这些人在流入亚哈瓦的河边, 我们在那里住了三日. 我查看百姓和祭司, 见没有利未人在那里,

8:16 And I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were family heads, and for Jehoiarib and Elnathan who were wise.
就召首领以利以谢,亚列,示玛雅,以利拿单,雅立,以利拿单,拿单,撒迦利亚,米书兰, 又召教习约雅立和以利拿单.

8:17 I sent them to Iddo, the head of the place called Casiphia, and I placed in their mouths what words to say to Iddo and his brothers the temple servants in Casiphia, to send to us ministers for the house of our God.
我打发他们往迦西斐雅地方去见那里的首领易多, 又告诉他们当向易多和他的弟兄尼提宁说甚么话, 叫他们为我们神的殿带使用的人来.

8:18 With the good hand of our God before us, they brought us a man of understanding from the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel—Sherebiah and his sons and brothers, eighteen in total.
蒙我们神施恩的手帮助我们, 他们在以色列的曾孙,利未的孙子,抹利的后裔中带一个通达人来; 还有示利比和他的众子与弟兄共一十八人.

8:19 Also Hashabiah and with him Jeshaiah, the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty in total.
又有哈沙比雅, 同着他有米拉利的子孙耶筛亚, 并他的众子和弟兄共二十人.

8:20 And from the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set up to serve the Levites, two hundred and twenty in total. All of them were registered by name.
从前大卫和众首领派尼提宁服事利未人, 现在从这尼提宁中也带了二百二十人来, 都是按名指定的.

8:21 I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava to humble ourselves before our God in order to seek from him a safe journey for us, our children, and our possessions.
那时, 我在亚哈瓦河边宣告禁食, 为要在我们神面前克苦己心, 求他使我们和妇人孩子, 并一切所有的, 都得平坦的道路.

8:22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for troops and horses to protect us from enemies on the way because we said to the king, “the hand of our God is favorable to all who seek him, but his strength and anger are against all who forsake them.”
我求王拨步兵马兵帮助我们抵挡路上的仇敌, 本以为羞耻; 因我曾对王说: “我们神施恩的手必帮助一切寻求他的; 但他的能力和忿怒必攻击一切离弃他的. ”

8:23 So we fasted and sought our God for this and he responded to our prayer.
所以我们禁食祈求我们的神, 他就应允了我们.

8:24 I set apart twelve of the official priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them.
我分派祭司长十二人, 就是示利比,哈沙比雅, 和他们的弟兄十人,

8:25 Then I weighed out to them silver and gold and the vessels, the offering of the house of our God that the king, his counselors, his commanders, and all of Israel who was present offered.
将王和谋士,军长, 并在那里的以色列众人为我们神殿所献的金银和器皿, 都秤了交给他们.

8:26 I weighed out into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, one hundred vessels of silver, one hundred talents of gold,
我秤了交在他们手中的银子有六百五十他连得; 银器重一百他连得; 金子一百他连得;

8:27 twenty gold bowls worth one thousand darics, and two vessels of good polished bronze as precious as gold.
金碗二十个, 重一千达利克; 上等光铜的器皿两个, 宝贵如金.

8:28 And I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh and the vessels are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, God of your ancestors.
我对他们说: “你们归耶和华为圣, 器皿也为圣; 金银是甘心献给耶和华─你们列祖之神的.

8:29 Guard and look after them until you weigh them before the chief priests, the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chamber of the house of Yahweh.”
你们当警醒看守, 直到你们在耶路撒冷耶和华殿的库内, 在祭司长和利未族长, 并以色列的各族长面前过了秤. ”

8:30 So the priests and Levites took over the weighed silver, gold, and the vessels to bring to Jerusalem for the house of our God.
于是, 祭司,利未人按著分量接受金银和器皿, 要带到耶路撒冷我们神的殿里.

8:31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the river of Ahava to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushing on the way.
正月十二日, 我们从亚哈瓦河边起行, 要往耶路撒冷去. 我们神的手保佑我们, 救我们脱离仇敌和路上埋伏之人的手.

8:32 We came to Jerusalem and remained there three days.
我们到了耶路撒冷, 在那里住了三日.

8:33 On the fourth day, the silver, gold, and vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of priest Meremoth, the son of Uriah, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas. With them were the Levites, Jehozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.
第四日, 在我们神的殿里把金银和器皿都秤了, 交在祭司乌利亚的儿子米利末的手中. 同着他有非尼哈的儿子以利亚撒, 还有利未人耶书亚的儿子约撒拔和宾内的儿子挪亚底.

8:34 The amount and weight of all the weighed items was recorded at that time.
当时都点了数目, 按著分量写在册上.

8:35 The exiles that returned from captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel; twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve goats as a sin offering. All was a burnt offering to Yahweh.
从掳到之地归回的人向以色列的神献燔祭, 就是为以色列众人献公牛十二只, 公绵羊九十六只, 绵羊羔七十七只, 又献公山羊十二只作赎罪祭, 这都是向耶和华焚献的.

8:36 They delivered the customs of the king to the king’s satraps and to the governor of the province Beyond the River. And they supported the people of the house of God.
他们将王的谕旨交给王所派的总督与河西的省长, 他们就帮助百姓, 又供给神殿里所需用的.

Ezra - Chapter 9

9:1 After finishing these things the officials approached me saying, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated from the people of the lands with their detestable things, and from the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.
这事做完了, 众首领来见我, 说: “以色列民和祭司并利未人, 没有离绝迦南人,赫人,比利洗人,耶布斯人,亚扪人,摩押人,埃及人,亚摩利人, 仍效法这些国的民, 行可憎的事.

9:2 For they have taken from their daughters for themselves and their sons. So the holy seed has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the officials and prefects were foremost in this sin.
因他们为自己和儿子娶了这些外邦女子为妻, 以致圣洁的种类和这些国的民混杂; 而且首领和官长在这事上为罪魁. ”

9:3 When I heard this I tore my garment and my robe, and I pulled the hair out from my head and beard, and I sat appalled.
我一听见这事, 就撕裂衣服和外袍, 拔了头发和胡须, 惊惧忧闷而坐.

9:4 Then all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the sin of the returned exiles were gathered around me and I sat appalled until the evening offering.
凡为以色列神言语战兢的, 都因这被掳归回之人所犯的罪聚集到我这里来. 我就惊惧忧闷而坐, 直到献晚祭的时候.

9:5 At the evening offering I got up from my mourning posture and, with my garment and robe torn, I fell down on my knees and I spread out my palms to Yahweh my God
献晚祭的时候我起来, 心中愁苦, 穿着撕裂的衣袍, 双膝跪下向耶和华─我的神举手,

9:6 and said, “My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face to you, my God. For our sins have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.
说: “我的神啊, 我抱愧蒙羞, 不敢向我神仰面; 因为我们的罪孽灭顶, 我们的罪恶滔天.

9:7 From the days of our ancestors until this day we have been in great guilt, and because of our sins we ourselves, our kings, and our priests have been handed into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to utter shame, as it is this day.
从我们列祖直到今日, 我们的罪恶甚重; 因我们的罪孽, 我们和君王,祭司都交在外邦列王的手中, 杀害,掳掠,抢夺,脸上蒙羞正如今日的光景.

9:8 But now for a brief moment mercy has been shown by Yahweh our God, who left behind for us a remnant, and given us security in his holy place—for our God to brighten our eyes and to give us brief relief in our bondage.
现在耶和华─我们的神暂且施恩与我们, 给我们留些逃脱的人, 使我们安稳如钉子钉在他的圣所, 我们的神好光照我们的眼目, 使我们在受辖制之中稍微复兴.

9:9 For we are slaves and in our bondage our God did not forsake us, and he has extended to us loyal love in the presence of the kings of Persia, to give to us deliverance and to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judea and Jerusalem.
我们是奴仆, 然而在受辖制之中, 我们的神仍没有丢弃我们, 在波斯王眼前向我们施恩, 叫我们复兴, 能重建我们神的殿, 修其毁坏之处, 使我们在犹大和耶路撒冷有墙垣.

9:10 “And now our God what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,
“我们的神啊, 既是如此, 我们还有甚么话可说呢? 因为我们已经离弃你的命令,

9:11 which you commanded by the hand of your servants the prophets saying, ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land of impurity with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their detestable things which they have filled from end to end with their uncleanness.
就是你藉你仆人众先知所吩咐的说: ‘你们要去得为业之地是污秽之地; 因列国之民的污秽和可憎的事, 叫全地从这边直到那边满了污秽.

9:12 Therefore, do not give your daughters to their sons, and do not take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek their peace and prosperity so that forever you may be strong and eat the good of the land and may give it as an inheritance to your sons.’
所以不可将你们的女儿嫁他们的儿子, 也不可为你们的儿子娶他们的女儿, 永不可求他们的平安和他们的利益, 这样你们就可以强盛, 吃这地的美物, 并遗留这地给你们的子孙永远为业. ’

9:13 After all that has come upon us for our evil practices and for our great guilt—you, our God, have held back less than our guilt deserved and you have given us a remainder such as this.
神啊, 我们因自己的恶行和大罪, 遭遇了这一切的事, 并且你刑罚我们轻于我们罪所当得的, 又给我们留下这些人.

9:14 Shall we again break your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who practice these detestable things? Would you not be angry with us until you destroy us with no remnant or remainder?
我们岂可再违背你的命令, 与这行可憎之事的民结亲呢? 若这样行, 你岂不向我们发怒, 将我们灭绝, 以致没有一个剩下逃脱的人吗?

9:15 Yahweh, God of Israel, you are righteous, for we have been left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this.”
耶和华─以色列的神啊, 因你是公义的, 我们这剩下的人才得逃脱, 正如今日的光景. 看哪, 我们在你面前有罪恶, 因此无人在你面前站立得住. ”

Ezra - Chapter 10

10:1 While Ezra was praying and confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children from Israel gathered to him. And the people wept bitterly.
以斯拉祷告, 认罪, 哭泣, 俯伏在神殿前的时候, 有以色列中的男女孩童聚集到以斯拉那里, 成了大会, 众民无不痛哭.

10:2 Shecaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, “We ourselves have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, and even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.
属以拦的子孙,耶歇的儿子示迦尼对以斯拉说: “我们在此地娶了外邦女子为妻, 干犯了我们的神, 然而以色列人还有指望.

10:3 So now let us make a covenant with our God to send away all of these women and their offspring, according to the advice of my lord and those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
现在当与我们的神立约, 休这一切的妻, 离绝她们所生的, 照着我主和那因神命令战兢之人所议定的, 按律法而行.

10:4 Arise, for it is your task and we are with you. Be strong and do it.”
你起来, 这是你当办的事, 我们必帮助你, 你当奋勉而行. ”

10:5 Then Ezra stood up and made the chief priests, Levites, and all of Israel swear to do according to what was said. So they swore this oath.
以斯拉便起来, 使祭司长和利未人, 并以色列众人起誓说, 必照这话去行; 他们就起了誓.

10:6 Ezra rose from before the house of God and went to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat food nor drink water because he was mourning over the sin of the exiles.
以斯拉从神殿前起来, 进入以利亚实的儿子约哈难的屋里, 到了那里不吃饭, 也不喝水; 因为被掳归回之人所犯的罪, 心里悲伤.

10:7 And they sent a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles to assemble in Jerusalem.
他们通告犹大和耶路撒冷被掳归回的人, 叫他们在耶路撒冷聚集.

10:8 Anyone who did not come within three days, by decision of the officials and elders, all of his possessions would be devoted to God, and he himself would be excluded from the assembly of exiles.
凡不遵首领和长老所议定,三日之内不来的, 就必抄他的家, 使他离开被掳归回之人的会.

10:9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth day of the month. All the people sat in the public square of the house of God trembling because of this matter and from the rains.
于是, 犹大和便雅悯众人, 三日之内都聚集在耶路撒冷. 那日正是九月二十日, 众人都坐在神殿前的宽阔处; 因这事, 又因下大雨, 就都战兢.

10:10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have broke faith and married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
祭司以斯拉站起来, 对他们说: “你们有罪了; 因你们娶了外邦的女子为妻, 增添以色列人的罪恶.

10:11 Now make a confession to Yahweh the God of your ancestors and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
现在当向耶和华─你们列祖的神认罪, 遵行他的旨意, 离绝这些国的民和外邦的女子. ”

10:12 Then all the assembly answered with a great voice and said, “It is so. We must do according to your words.
会众都大声回答说: “我们必照着你的话行,

10:13 But the people are many, and it is the time of rain; we are unable to stand outside. The task is not for one day or two, for we greatly rebelled in this matter.
只是百姓众多, 又逢大雨的时令, 我们不能站在外头, 这也不是一两天办完的事, 因我们在这事上犯了大罪;

10:14 Please let our leaders stand for the whole assembly, and let all that are in our cities who have married foreign women come at set times, and with them the elders of and judges of each city, until the fierce wrath of our God because of this matter is averted from us.”
不如为全会众派首领办理. 凡我们城邑中娶外邦女子为妻的, 当按所定的日期, 同著本城的长老和士师而来, 直到办完这事, 神的烈怒就转离我们了. ”

10:15 Only Jehonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah stood against this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai supported them.
惟有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单, 特瓦的儿子雅哈谢阻挡(或译: 总办)这事, 并有米书兰和利未人沙比太帮助他们.

10:16 The returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men, the heads of the families according to the house of their fathers, all of them by name. They sat down to examine the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
被掳归回的人如此而行. 祭司以斯拉和些族长按著宗族都指名见派; 在十月初一日, 一同在座查办这事,

10:17 They finished investigating all the men who married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
到正月初一日, 才查清娶外邦女子的人数.

Nehemiah (尼希米记)

Nehemiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah. It happened in the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year, that I myself was in the citadel in Susa,
哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的言语如下: 亚达薛西王二十年基斯流月, 我在书珊城的宫中.

1:2 and one of my brothers, Hanani, came with some men from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped the captivity and about Jerusalem.
那时, 有我一个弟兄哈拿尼, 同著几个人从犹大来. 我问他们那些被掳归回,剩下逃脱的犹大人和耶路撒冷的光景.

1:3 They replied to me, “The survivors in the province who have survived the captivity are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned in the fire.”
他们对我说: “那些被掳归回剩下的人在犹大省遭大难, 受凌辱; 并且耶路撒冷的城墙拆毁, 城门被火焚烧. ”

1:4 When I heard these words, I sat and wept and mourned for days, and I was fasting and praying before the God of the heavens.
我听见这话, 就坐下哭泣, 悲哀几日, 在天上的神面前禁食祈祷, 说:

1:5 I said, “O Yahweh God of the heavens, the great and awesome one who keeps the covenant and loyal love for the ones who love him and for those who keep his commands.
“耶和华─天上的神, 大而可畏的神啊, 你向爱你,守你诫命的人守约施慈爱.

1:6 Please, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I am praying before you by day and by night for your servants, the Israelites, and confessing the sins of the Israelites that we have sinned against you. I and my father’s house have sinned.
愿你睁眼看, 侧耳听, 你仆人昼夜在你面前为你众仆人以色列民的祈祷, 承认我们以色列人向你所犯的罪; 我与我父家都有罪了.

1:7 We have certainly offended you and have not kept the commands, regulations, and judgments that you have commanded your servant Moses.
我们向你所行的甚是邪恶, 没有遵守你藉著仆人摩西所吩咐的诫命,律例,典章.

1:8 Please, remember the word that you have commanded to your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you act unfaithfully I will scatter you all among the nations.
求你记念所吩咐你仆人摩西的话, 说: ‘你们若犯罪, 我就把你们分散在万民中;

1:9 But if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, even though all of your outcasts are at the furthest parts of heaven, I will gather them and bring them to the place which I have chosen to make my name dwell.’
但你们若归向我, 谨守遵行我的诫命, 你们被赶散的人虽在天涯, 我也必从那里将他们招聚回来, 带到我所选择立为我名的居所. ’

1:10 They are your servants and your people whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.
这都是你的仆人,你的百姓, 就是你用大力和大能的手所救赎的.

1:11 O Lord, please let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight to revere in your name. Please, let your servant be successful this day and give him compassion before this man.” I was cupbearer for the king.
主啊, 求你侧耳听你仆人的祈祷, 和喜爱敬畏你名众仆人的祈祷, 使你仆人现今亨通, 在王面前蒙恩. ”我是作王酒政的.

Nehemiah - Chapter 2

2:1 It happened in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I carried the wine and gave it to the king. And I had never been sad before the king.
亚达薛西王二十年尼散月, 在王面前摆酒, 我拿起酒来奉给王. 我素来在王面前没有愁容.

2:2 So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad since you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of the heart.” And I was very much afraid.
王对我说: “你既没有病, 为甚么面带愁容呢? 这不是别的, 必是你心中愁烦. ”于是我甚惧怕.

2:3 I said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad when the city of my ancestors’ burial site is ruined and her gates are consumed by fire?”
我对王说: “愿王万岁! 我列祖坟墓所在的那城荒凉, 城门被火焚烧, 我岂能面无愁容吗? ”

2:4 Then the king said to me, “What is your request?” So I prayed to the God of the heavens.
王问我说: “你要求甚么? ”于是我默祷天上的神.

2:5 Then I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your presence, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my ancestors’ burial sites, so that I may rebuild it.”
我对王说: “仆人若在王眼前蒙恩, 王若喜欢, 求王差遣我往犹大, 到我列祖坟墓所在的那城去, 我好重新建造. ”

2:6 With the queen sitting beside him, the king said to me, “How long will your journey be and when will you return?” So it pleased the king and he sent me, and I set for him an appointed time.
那时王后坐在王的旁边. 王问我说: “你去要多少日子? 几时回来? ”我就定了日期. 于是王喜欢差遣我去.

2:7 Then I said to the king, “If it is good for the king, let letters be given to me for the governors in the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass until I come to Judah.
我又对王说: “王若喜欢, 求王赐我诏书, 通知大河西的省长准我经过, 直到犹大;

2:8 Also, a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king’s land reserve, that he should give me timber for laying the beams for the gates of the citadel of the house and for the walls of the city, and for the house which I will enter.” And the king gave permission to me, according to the good hand of God on me.
又赐诏书, 通知管理王园林的亚萨, 使他给我木料, 做属殿营楼之门的横梁和城墙, 与我自己房屋使用的. ”王就允准我, 因我神施恩的手帮助我.

2:9 I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River, and I gave them the letters of the king. Then the king sent troop commanders and horses with me.
王派了军长和马兵护送我. 我到了河西的省长那里, 将王的诏书交给他们.

2:10 But when Sanballat the Horonite and the Ammonite servant Tobiah heard this, they were greatly displeased that a person had come to seek the welfare of the Israelites.
和伦人参巴拉, 并为奴的亚扪人多比雅, 听见有人来为以色列人求好处, 就甚恼怒.

2:11 I came to Jerusalem and was there for three days.
我到了耶路撒冷, 在那里住了三日.

2:12 I got up during the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anybody what my God put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. No animal was with me except the animal that I was riding on.
我夜间起来, 有几个人也一同起来; 但神使我心里要为耶路撒冷做甚么事, 我并没有告诉人. 除了我骑的牲口以外, 也没有别的牲口在我那里.

2:13 I went out during the night at the gate of the valley by the Dragon spring and to the Dung Gate. And I examined the walls in Jerusalem and its gates that had been destroyed by the fire.
当夜我出了谷门, 往野狗井去(野狗: 或译龙), 到了粪厂门, 察看耶路撒冷的城墙, 见城墙拆毁, 城门被火焚烧.

2:14 I crossed over to the Fountain Gate and to the King’s Pool, but there was no place for my mount to cross over.
我又往前, 到了泉门和王池, 但所骑的牲口没有地方过去.

2:15 So I went up by the valley during the night and was examining the wall. Then I returned and came to the Valley Gate and returned.
于是夜间沿溪而上, 察看城墙, 又转身进入谷门, 就回来了.

2:16 The prefects did not know where I had gone and what I was doing. I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the prefects, and the rest of the workers.
我往哪里去, 我做甚么事, 官长都不知道. 我还没有告诉犹大平民,祭司,贵冑,官长, 和其余做工的人.

2:17 Then I said to them, “You see the misery that we are in, that Jerusalem is ruined and its gates burned by the fire. Come, build the walls of Jerusalem and we shall no longer be a disgrace.”
以后, 我对他们说: “我们所遭的难, 耶路撒冷怎样荒凉, 城门被火焚烧, 你们都看见了. 来吧, 我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙, 免得再受凌辱! ”

2:18 I told them of the good hand of my God that was upon me and surely the words of the king that were spoken to me. And they said, “Let us arise and build!” And they strengthened their hands for this good work.
我告诉他们我神施恩的手怎样帮助我, 并王对我所说的话. 他们就说: “我们起来建造吧! ”于是他们奋勇做这善工.

2:19 But Sanballat the Horonite, the Ammonite servant Tobiah, and Geshem the Arab heard it, and they mocked and despised us, saying, “What is this thing that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”
但和伦人参巴拉, 并为奴的亚扪人多比雅和阿拉伯人基善听见就嗤笑我们, 藐视我们, 说: “你们做甚么呢? 要背叛王吗? ”

2:20 Then I answered and said to them, “The God of the heavens himself will let us succeed, and we his servants shall arise and build. But for you there is no share, right, or memorial in Jerusalem.”
我回答他们说: “天上的神必使我们亨通. 我们作他仆人的, 要起来建造; 你们却在耶路撒冷无分,无权,无纪念. ”

4:4 Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn on their head and give them over to plunder in the land of captivity.
我们的神啊, 求你垂听, 因为我们被藐视. 求你使他们的毁谤归于他们的头上, 使他们在掳到之地作为掠物.

4:5 Do not cover their guilt, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you. They have provoked the builders to anger.
不要遮掩他们的罪孽, 不要使他们的罪恶从你面前涂抹, 因为他们在修造的人眼前惹动你的怒气.

4:6 So we rebuilt the wall, and all of the wall was joined up to half its height. For the people had a heart to do it.
这样, 我们修造城墙, 城墙就都连络, 高至一半, 因为百姓专心做工.

4:7 Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the restoration of the walls of Jerusalem were going forward and the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.
参巴拉,多比雅,阿拉伯人,亚扪人,亚实突人听见修造耶路撒冷城墙, 着手进行堵塞破裂的地方, 就甚发怒.

4:8 So all of them plotted together to come fight against Jerusalem and to make trouble for it.
大家同谋要来攻击耶路撒冷, 使城内扰乱.

4:9 So we prayed to our God and set up a guard against them day and night.
然而, 我们祷告我们的神, 又因他们的缘故, 就派人看守, 昼夜防备.

4:10 But Judah said, “The strength of the carriers is failing, and there is too much dirt, and we are not able to build at the wall.”
犹大人说: “灰土尚多, 扛抬的人力气已经衰败, 所以我们不能建造城墙. ”

4:11 Then our enemies said, “They will not know nor see until we come upon them and will kill them and stop the work.”
我们的敌人且说: “趁他们不知不见, 我们进入他们中间, 杀他们, 使工作止住. ”

4:12 When the Jews who lived beside them came, they said to us ten times, “From all of the places where they live, they will come up against us.”
那靠近敌人居住的犹大人十次从各处来见我们, 说: “你们必要回到我们那里. ”

4:13 I stationed the people behind the deepest part of the wall in the open places according to their families, with their swords, spears, and bows.
所以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀,拿枪,拿弓站在城墙后边低洼的空处.

4:14 And I looked, got up, and said to the nobles, prefects, and the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
我察看了, 就起来对贵冑,官长, 和其余的人说: “不要怕他们! 当记念主是大而可畏的. 你们要为弟兄,儿女,妻子,家产争战. ”

4:15 It happened when our enemies heard that their plan was known to us, that God had frustrated it, and we all returned to the wall—each to his work.
仇敌听见我们知道他们的心意, 见神也破坏他们的计谋, 就不来了. 我们都回到城墙那里, 各做各的工.

4:16 From that day, half of my servants were working on craftsmanship, half were holding spears, small shields, bows, and breastplates. The commanders were behind the whole house of Judah.
从那日起, 我的仆人一半做工, 一半拿枪,拿盾牌,拿弓,穿(或译: 拿)铠甲, 官长都站在犹大众人的后边.

4:17 The ones who were building the wall and the ones who carried the materials were carrying in one hand while doing the task, and with the other hand were grasping a weapon.
修造城墙的, 扛抬材料的, 都一手做工一手拿兵器.

4:18 Each of the builders had his sword tied to his side while building. And the man who sounded the trumpet was beside me.
修造的人都腰间佩刀修造, 吹角的人在我旁边.

4:19 I said to the nobles, to the prefects, and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widespread, and we are spread out over the wall far from each other.
我对贵冑,官长, 和其余的人说: “这工程浩大, 我们在城墙上相离甚远;

4:20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, come together to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
你们听见角声在哪里, 就聚集到我们那里去. 我们的神必为我们争战. ”

4:21 So we labored at the work, and half of them were holding the spears from dawn until the stars came out.
于是, 我们做工, 一半拿兵器, 从天亮直到星宿出现的时候.

4:22 At the time I also said to the people, “Let each man and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they will be a guard for us in the night and work in the day.”
那时, 我又对百姓说: “各人和他的仆人当在耶路撒冷住宿, 好在夜间保守我们, 白昼做工. ”

4:23 So neither I nor my brothers nor my young men nor the men of the guard who were behind me took off our clothes. Each one kept his weapon even in the water.
这样, 我和弟兄仆人, 并跟从我的护兵都不脱衣服, 出去打水也带兵器.

Nehemiah - Chapter 5

5:1 Now there was a great cry of distress of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.
百姓和他们的妻大大呼号, 埋怨他们的弟兄犹大人.

5:2 There were those who were saying, “Our sons and daughters, we are many. We must get grain so that we may eat and live.”
有的说: “我们和儿女人口众多, 要去得粮食度命”;

5:3 There were also those saying, “We have pledged our fields and our vineyards and our houses so that we can get grain in the famine.”
有的说: “我们典了田地,葡萄园,房屋, 要得粮食充饥”;

5:4 And there were those who were saying, “We have borrowed money on our fields and our vineyards for the tax of the king.
有的说: “我们已经指著田地,葡萄园, 借了钱给王纳税.

5:5 Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our sons are like their sons. Look, we are subduing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and there are some from our daughters being molested. We are powerless, and our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
我们的身体与我们弟兄的身体一样; 我们的儿女与他们的儿女一般. 现在我们将要使儿女作人的仆婢, 我们的女儿已有为婢的; 我们并无力拯救, 因为我们的田地,葡萄园已经归了别人. ”

5:6 I was very angry when I heard their shouts and these words.
我听见他们呼号说这些话, 便甚发怒.

5:7 I thought over this in my heart, and then I quarreled with the nobles and the prefects. I said to them, “You yourselves are taking interest from your own brother!” So I called the great assembly against them,
我心里筹划, 就斥责贵冑和官长说: “你们各人向弟兄取利! ”于是我招聚大会攻击他们.

5:8 and I said to them: “We ourselves have bought back our brothers the Jews who were sold to the nations as we were able. But now you yourselves have sold your brothers so they may be sold to us!” They were silent and could not find a word to say.
我对他们说: “我们尽力赎回我们弟兄, 就是卖与外邦的犹大人; 你们还要卖弟兄, 使我们赎回来吗? ”他们就静默不语, 无话可答.

5:9 So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God to prevent the disgrace from the nations, our enemies?
我又说: “你们所行的不善! 你们行事不当敬畏我们的神吗? 不然, 难免我们的仇敌外邦人毁谤我们.

5:10 Also, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please stop taking this interest.
我和我的弟兄与仆人也将银钱粮食借给百姓; 我们大家都当免去利息.

5:11 Please restore to them this day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, their houses, and the interest on the money, the grain, the grape juice, and the olive oil that you have been taking from them.”
如今我劝你们将他们的田地,葡萄园,橄榄园,房屋, 并向他们所取的银钱,粮食,新酒, 和油, 百分之一的利息都归还他们. ”

5:12 So they said, “We will restore it and will not request anything more. So we will do as you say.” Then I called the priests and made them take an oath to do this promise.
众人说: “我们必归还, 不再向他们索要, 必照你的话行. ”我就召了祭司来, 叫众人起誓, 必照着所应许的而行.

5:13 I also shook out my garment and said, “This is how God will shake out everyone from his house who will not keep this promise. So this is how his possessions will be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said, “Amen!” And they praised Yahweh, and the people kept this promise.
我也抖著胸前的衣襟, 说: “凡不成就这应许的, 愿神照样抖他离开家产和他劳碌得来的, 直到抖空了. ”会众都说: “阿们! ”又赞美耶和华. 百姓就照着所应许的去行.

5:14 Moreover, from the appointed day I was made their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes—twelve years. My brothers and I did not eat the food allowance of the governor.
自从我奉派作犹大地的省长, 就是从亚达薛西王二十年直到三十二年, 共十二年之久, 我与我弟兄都没有吃省长的俸禄.

5:15 The former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and they took food and wine from them, besides forty shekels. Also, their servants controlled the people, but I did not do so because of the fear of God.
在我以前的省长加重百姓的担子, 每日索要粮食和酒, 并银子四十舍客勒, 就是他们的仆人也辖制百姓; 但我因敬畏神不这样行.

5:16 I also devoted myself to the work of this wall, and we did not buy land. All of my servants were gathered for the work.
并且我恒心修造城墙, 并没有置买田地; 我的仆人也都聚集在那里做工.

5:17 One hundred and fifty men, prefects and Jews, and those who came to us from the nations around us, were at my table.
除了从四围外邦中来的犹大人以外, 有犹大平民和官长一百五十人在我席上吃饭.

5:18 Now what was prepared each day for me was one ox, six choice sheep, and birds. And every ten days all kinds of wine were made. But for this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor because the slavery was too heavy on this people.
每日预备一只公牛, 六只肥羊, 又预备些飞禽; 每十日一次, 多预备各样的酒. 虽然如此, 我并不要省长的俸禄, 因为百姓服役甚重.

5:19 Remember me for good, my God, all that I have done for this people.
我的神啊, 求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事, 施恩与我.

Nehemiah - Chapter 6

6:1 Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that no gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not erected doors in the gates—
参巴拉,多比雅,阿拉伯人基善和我们其余的仇敌听见我已经修完了城墙, 其中没有破裂之处(那时我还没有安门扇)的,

6:2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they planned to do evil to me.
参巴拉和基善就打发人来见我, 说: “请你来, 我们在阿挪平原的一个村庄相会. ”他们却想害我.

6:3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I am not able to come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you all?”
于是我差遣人去见他们, 说: “我现在办理大工, 不能下去. 焉能停工下去见你们呢? ”

6:4 And they sent a message to me four times like this, and I returned an answer like this to them.
他们这样四次打发人来见我, 我都如此回答他们.

6:5 And Sanballat sent his servant with an open letter, another word like this to me a fifth time, in his hand.
参巴拉第五次打发仆人来见我, 手里拿着未封的信,

6:6 In it was written, “It has been reported among the nations, and Gashmu also is saying it, that you and the Jews are considering rebellion. Therefore, truly you are building the wall and you are becoming their king, according to these words.
信上写着说: “外邦人中有风声, 迦施慕(就是基善, 见二章十九节)也说, 你和犹大人谋反, 修造城墙, 你要作他们的王;

6:7 You have also set up prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah.’ And now it will be proclaimed to the king according to these words. Now, come and we will plan together.”
你又派先知在耶路撒冷指着你宣讲, 说在犹大有王. 现在这话必传与王知; 所以请你来, 与我们彼此商议. ”

6:8 So I sent to him saying, “None of these words you have spoken has happened. You are indeed saying things created in your own mind”—
我就差遣人去见他, 说: “你所说的这事, 一概没有, 是你心里捏造的. ”

6:9 for all of them sought to frighten us, saying, “their hands will not do the work.” And now, God, strengthen my hands.
他们都要使我们惧怕, 意思说, 他们的手必软弱, 以致工作不能成就. 神啊, 求你坚固我的手.

6:10 Now I went into the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined at home, and he said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple; for they are coming to kill you—during the night they are coming to kill you.”
我到了米希大别的孙子,第来雅的儿子示玛雅家里; 那时, 他闭门不出. 他说: “我们不如在神的殿里会面, 将殿门关锁; 因为他们要来杀你, 就是夜里来杀你. ”

6:11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? And would a man like me go into the temple so that he can save his life? I will not go in!”
我说: “像我这样的人岂要逃跑呢? 像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢? 我不进去! ”

6:12 Then I look and realized God had not sent him; rather, he had spoken the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
我看明神没有差遣他, 是他自己说这话攻击我, 是多比雅和参巴拉贿买了他.

6:13 For this reason he was hired: to frighten me so that I would act and sin, so that they would have a bad report so they could taunt me.
贿买他的缘故, 是要叫我惧怕, 依从他犯罪, 他们好传扬恶言毁谤我.

6:14 Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to their works, and also Noadiah the prophetess, and the remainder of the prophets who were frightening me.
我的神啊, 多比雅,参巴拉,女先知挪亚底, 和其余的先知要叫我惧怕, 求你记念他们所行的这些事.

6:15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
以禄月二十五日, 城墙修完了, 共修了五十二天.

6:16 When our enemies heard of this, all of the nations surrounding us were afraid and lost their confidence. They knew that this work had been done with the help of our God.
我们一切仇敌,四围的外邦人听见了便惧怕, 愁眉不展; 因为见这工作完成是出乎我们的神.

6:17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah increasingly sent their letters to Tobiah, and letters from Tobiah returned to them.
在那些日子, 犹大的贵冑屡次寄信与多比雅, 多比雅也来信与他们.

6:18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah. His son Jehohanan took as a wife the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.
在犹大有许多人与多比雅结盟; 因他是亚拉的儿子, 示迦尼的女婿, 并且他的儿子约哈难娶了比利迦儿子米书兰的女儿为妻.

6:19 They also were speaking of his good deeds in my presence, and they were sending my words out to him. Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
他们常在我面前说多比雅的善行, 也将我的话传与他. 多比雅又常寄信来, 要叫我惧怕.

Nehemiah - Chapter 7

7:1 Now when the wall had been built and I had erected the doors and appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and the Levites,
城墙修完, 我安了门扇, 守门的,歌唱的, 和利未人都已派定.

7:2 I gave command over Jerusalem to my brother Hanani and Hananiah the commander of the citadel. For he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
我就派我的弟兄哈拿尼和营楼的宰官哈拿尼雅管理耶路撒冷; 因为哈拿尼雅是忠信的, 又敬畏神过于众人.

7:3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While they are standing guard let them shut and fasten the doors. And appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his post and another opposite his house.”
我吩咐他们说: “等到太阳上升才可开耶路撒冷的城门; 人尚看守的时候就要关门上闩; 也当派耶路撒冷的居民各按班次看守自己房屋对面之处. ”

7:4 The city was widespread and large, but the people in it were few and no houses were rebuilt.
城是广大, 其中的民却稀少, 房屋还没有建造.

7:5 Then my God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, the prefects, and the people to be enrolled. I found the book of the genealogy of those who first came back, and I found this written upon it:
我的神感动我心, 招聚贵冑,官长, 和百姓, 要照家谱计算. 我找著第一次上来之人的家谱, 其上写着:

7:6 These are the people of the province who came up from captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each one to his city.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从前掳去犹大省的人, 现在他们的子孙从被掳到之地回耶路撒冷和犹大, 各归本城.

7:64 These sought their record among those enrolled in the genealogy, but it was not found there, so they were excluded as unclean from the priesthood.
这三家的人在族谱之中寻查自己的谱系, 却寻不著, 因此算为不洁, 不准供祭司的职任.

7:65 So the governor said to them that they could not eat the most holy food until a priest could come with Urim and Thummim.
省长对他们说: “不可吃至圣的物, 直到有用乌陵和土明决疑的祭司兴起来. ”

7:71 Now some of the heads of the families gave to the storehouse of the work twenty thousand gold darics and two thousand two hundred silver minas.

7:73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel settled in their cities. When the seventh month came, the Israelites were in their cities.
于是祭司,利未人,守门的,歌唱的,民中的一些人,尼提宁, 并以色列众人, 各住在自己的城里.

Nehemiah - Chapter 8

8:1 All of the people gathered as one to the public square before the Water Gate. They asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses that Yahweh had commanded Israel.
到了七月, 以色列人住在自己的城里. 那时, 他们如同一人聚集在水门前的宽阔处, 请文士以斯拉将耶和华藉摩西传给以色列人的律法书带来.

8:2 So Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly for each man and woman to hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
七月初一日, 祭司以斯拉将律法书带到听了能明白的男女会众面前.

8:3 He read from it facing the public square before the Water Gate from dawn until noon that day, opposite the men, women, and those with understanding. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
在水门前的宽阔处, 从清早到晌午, 在众男女,一切听了能明白的人面前读这律法书. 众民侧耳而听.

8:4 Then Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden podium that had been made for the occasion. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right. On his left was Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
文士以斯拉站在为这事特备的木台上. 玛他提雅,示玛,亚奈雅,乌利亚,希勒家, 和玛西雅站在他的右边; 毘大雅,米沙利,玛基雅,哈顺,哈拔大拿,撒迦利亚, 和米书兰站在他的左边.

8:5 Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, because he was above all of the people. When he opened it all the people stood up.
以斯拉站在众民以上, 在众民眼前展开这书. 他一展开, 众民就都站起来.

8:6 Then Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God, and all of the people answered, “Amen! Amen!” while lifting their hands. Then they bowed down and worshiped Yahweh with their noses to the ground.
以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的神; 众民都举手应声说: “阿们! 阿们! ”就低头, 面伏于地, 敬拜耶和华.

8:7 And Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites were teaching the people from the law while the people were in their places.
耶书亚,巴尼,示利比,雅悯,亚谷,沙比太,荷第雅,玛西雅,基利他,亚撒利雅,约撒拔,哈难,毘莱雅, 和利未人使百姓明白律法; 百姓都站在自己的地方.

8:8 So they read the book from the law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that they could understand the reading.
他们清清楚楚地念神的律法书, 讲明意思, 使百姓明白所念的.

8:9 Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all of the people, “This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Do not mourn nor weep.” For all of the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
省长尼希米和作祭司的文士以斯拉, 并教训百姓的利未人, 对众民说: “今日是耶和华─你们神的圣日, 不要悲哀哭泣. ”这是因为众民听见律法书上的话都哭了;

8:10 Then he said to them, “Go, eat festive food and drink sweet drinks, and send a share to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our lord. Do not be grieved because the joy of Yahweh is your refuge.”
又对他们说: “你们去吃肥美的, 喝甘甜的, 有不能预备的就分给他, 因为今日是我们主的圣日. 你们不要忧愁, 因靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量. ”

8:11 So the Levites silenced all of the people, saying, “Silence, for this day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
于是利未人使众民静默, 说: “今日是圣日; 不要作声, 也不要忧愁. ”

8:12 All of the people went to eat, to drink, to send a share, and to have great joy because they understood the words that they had made known to them.
众民都去吃喝, 也分给人, 大大快乐, 因为他们明白所教训他们的话.

8:13 On the second day the heads of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites gathered together to Ezra the scribe to study the words of the law.
次日, 众民的族长,祭司, 和利未人都聚集到文士以斯拉那里, 要留心听律法上的话.

8:14 They found written in the law, which Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the Israelites should live in booths during the festival of the seventh month,
他们见律法上写着, 耶和华藉摩西吩咐以色列人要在七月节住棚,

8:15 and that they should proclaim and give voice in all of their cities in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill and bring olive tree branches, olive oil wood branches, myrtle shrub branches, palm tree branches, and other leafy tree branches to make booths, as it is written.”
并要在各城和耶路撒冷宣传报告说: “你们当上山, 将橄榄树,野橄榄树,番石榴树,棕树, 和各样茂密树的枝子取来, 照着所写的搭棚. ”

8:16 So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, in their courtyards, in the courtyards of the house of God, in the public square of the Water Gate, and in the public square of the Gate of Ephraim.
于是百姓出去, 取了树枝来, 各人在自己的房顶上, 或院内, 或神殿的院内, 或水门的宽阔处, 或以法莲门的宽阔处搭棚.

8:17 And all of the assembly of those who returned from captivity made booths and lived in the booths because the Israelites had not done it from the days of Jeshua son of Nun until that day. And there was very great joy.
从掳到之地归回的全会众就搭棚, 住在棚里. 从嫩的儿子约书亚的时候直到这日, 以色列人没有这样行. 于是众人大大喜乐.

8:18 And he read from the scroll of the law of God day by day from the first day up to the last day. They celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day there was an assembly according to the rule.
从头一天直到末一天, 以斯拉每日念神的律法书. 众人守节七日, 第八日照例有严肃会.

Nehemiah - Chapter 9

9:1 On the twenty-fourth day of this month the Israelites gathered in fasting, in sackcloths, and with soil on them.
这月二十四日, 以色列人聚集禁食, 身穿麻衣, 头蒙灰尘.

9:2 Those of the seed of Israel separated themselves from all of the foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.
以色列人(人: 原文是种类)就与一切外邦人离绝, 站着承认自己的罪恶和列祖的罪孽.

9:3 They stood up in their place and read from the book of the law of Yahweh their God for a fourth part of the day, and for a fourth they were confessing and worshiping Yahweh their God.
那日的四分之一站在自己的地方念耶和华─他们神的律法书, 又四分之一认罪, 敬拜耶和华─他们的神.

9:4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani stood on the platform of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to Yahweh their God.
耶书亚,巴尼,甲篾,示巴尼,布尼,示利比,巴尼,基拿尼站在利未人的台上, 大声哀求耶和华─他们的神.

9:5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, “Stand up, bless Yahweh your God from everlasting until everlasting. Blessed be your glorious name that is being exalted above all blessing and praise!
利未人耶书亚,甲篾,巴尼,哈沙尼,示利比,荷第雅,示巴尼,毘他希雅说: “你们要站起来称颂耶和华─你们的神, 永世无尽. 耶和华啊, 你荣耀之名是应当称颂的! 超乎一切称颂和赞美. ”

9:6 “You alone are Yahweh. You alone have made the heavens, the heavens of the heavens, and all of their army, the earth and all that is in it, the waters and all that is in them. You give life to all of them, and the army of the heavens worship you.
“你, 惟独你是耶和华! 你造了天和天上的天, 并天上的万象, 地和地上的万物, 海和海中所有的; 这一切都是你所保存的. 天军也都敬拜你.

9:7 You are Yahweh, the God who chose Abram and brought him from Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.
你是耶和华神, 曾拣选亚伯兰, 领他出迦勒底的吾珥, 给他改名叫亚伯拉罕.

9:8 You found his heart faithful before you and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite—to give it to his seed. And you have kept your word because you are righteous.
你见他在你面前心里诚实, 就与他立约, 应许把迦南人,赫人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,耶布斯人,革迦撒人之地赐给他的后裔, 且应验了你的话, 因为你是公义的.

9:9 “You saw the misery of our ancestors in Egypt, and you heard their shout at the Red Sea.
“你曾看见我们列祖在埃及所受的困苦, 垂听他们在红海边的哀求,

9:10 You gave signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all of his servants, and all of the people of his land because you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. You made a name for yourself, as it is this day.
就施行神蹟奇事在法老和他一切臣仆, 并他国中的众民身上. 你也得了名声, 正如今日一样, 因为你知道他们向我们列祖行事狂傲.

9:11 And you divided the sea before them, and they passed through the sea on dry ground, but their pursuers you threw into the depths like a stone into mighty waters.
你又在我们列祖面前把海分开, 使他们在海中行走干地, 将追赶他们的人抛在深海, 如石头抛在大水中;

9:12 You led them by day with a column of cloud and with a column of fire by night, to give them light on the way that they were to go.
并且白昼用云柱引导他们, 黑夜用火柱照亮他们当行的路.

9:13 Then you came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven and gave them right judgments and true teachings, good regulations and commandments.
你也降临在西奈山, 从天上与他们说话, 赐给他们正直的典章,真实的律法,美好的条例与诫命,

9:14 You made known your holy Sabbath to them and gave them commandments, regulations, and law by the hand of your servant Moses.
又使他们知道你的安息圣日, 并藉你仆人摩西传给他们诫命,条例,律法.

9:15 You gave them bread from heaven for their starvation, and you caused water to go out from a rock for their thirst. You told them to go in order to take into possession the land that you have sworn by your hand to give to them.
从天上赐下粮食充他们的饥, 从磐石使水流出解他们的渴, 又吩咐他们进去得你起誓应许赐给他们的地.

9:16 “But they and our ancestors acted arrogantly and stiffened their neck and did not listen to your commandments.
但我们的列祖行事狂傲, 硬著颈项不听从你的诫命;

9:17 They refused to listen and did not remember your wonders that you did among them. They stiffened their neck and in their rebellion determined to return to their slavery. But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abundant in loyal love, so you did not abandon them.
不肯顺从, 也不记念你在他们中间所行的奇事, 竟硬著颈项, 居心背逆, 自立首领, 要回他们为奴之地. 但你是乐意饶恕人, 有恩典, 有怜悯, 不轻易发怒, 有丰盛慈爱的神, 并不丢弃他们.

9:18 Even when they made for themselves a molten idol of a calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you out from Egypt,’ and committed great blasphemies.
他们虽然铸了一只牛犊, 彼此说‘这是领你出埃及的神’, 因而大大惹动你的怒气;

9:19 But you in your many mercies did not abandon them in the desert. The column of cloud that was over them in the day did not cease to leave them on the way, and the column of fire by night that gave light to them on the way that they went.
你还是大施怜悯, 在旷野不丢弃他们. 白昼, 云柱不离开他们, 仍引导他们行路; 黑夜, 火柱也不离开他们, 仍照亮他们当行的路.

9:20 And you gave your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst.
你也赐下你良善的灵教训他们; 未尝不赐吗哪使他们糊口, 并赐水解他们的渴.

9:21 Forty years you sustained them in the desert—they were not in need. Their clothing did not wear out and their feet did not swell.
在旷野四十年, 你养育他们, 他们就一无所缺: 衣服没有穿破, 脚也没有肿.

9:22 And you gave them kingdoms and nations and allotted them a portion. They took into possession the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and the land of Og king of Bashan.
并且你将列国之地照分赐给他们, 他们就得了西宏之地,希实本王之地, 和巴珊王噩之地.

9:23 You made their children numerous like the stars of the heavens and brought them to the land that you told their ancestors to enter in order to take possession.
你也使他们的子孙多如天上的星, 带他们到你所应许他们列祖进入得为业之地.

9:24 So the children went in and took possession of the land. You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites; you gave them into their hand, and their kings and the nations of the land to do with them according to their pleasure.
这样, 他们进去得了那地, 你在他们面前制伏那地的居民, 就是迦南人; 将迦南人和其君王, 并那地的居民, 都交在他们手里, 让他们任意而待.

9:25 And they captured fortified cities and a fertile land and took possession of houses filled with every good thing: hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, and many fruit trees. They ate and became full, and they became fat and took delight in your great goodness.
他们得了坚固的城邑,肥美的地土,充满各样美物的房屋,凿成的水井,葡萄园,橄榄园, 并许多果木树. 他们就吃而得饱, 身体肥胖, 因你的大恩, 心中快乐.

9:26 “But they rebelled and were rebellious against you and cast your law behind their back and killed your prophets, who had warned them to turn back to you, and they did great blasphemies.
“然而, 他们不顺从, 竟背叛你, 将你的律法丢在背后, 杀害那劝他们归向你的众先知, 大大惹动你的怒气.

9:27 Therefore you gave them into the hand of their enemy, and they brought trouble to them. Then in the time of their trouble they cried out to you, and you heard from the heavens, and according to your great compassions, you gave them saviors, and you saved them from the hand of their enemies.
所以你将他们交在敌人的手中, 磨难他们. 他们遭难的时候哀求你, 你就从天上垂听, 照你的大怜悯赐给他们拯救者, 救他们脱离敌人的手.

9:28 But when they had rest they returned to doing evil before you, and you abandoned them in the hand of their enemies, and they ruled over them. Then they returned and cried out to you, and from the heavens you heard and many times rescued them according to your compassions.
但他们得平安之后, 又在你面前行恶, 所以你丢弃他们在仇敌的手中, 使仇敌辖制他们. 然而他们转回哀求你, 你仍从天上垂听, 屡次照你的怜悯拯救他们,

9:29 You warned them so that they would return to your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to your commandments but sinned against your judgments that a person must do so that they may live. They turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck and would not listen.
又警戒他们, 要使他们归服你的律法. 他们却行事狂傲, 不听从你的诫命, 干犯你的典章(人若遵行就必因此活着), 扭转肩头, 硬著颈项, 不肯听从.

9:30 You were patient toward them for many years, and you have warned them by your spirit through the hand of your prophets, but they did not listen. So you gave them into the hand of the nations of the lands.
但你多年宽容他们, 又用你的灵藉众先知劝戒他们, 他们仍不听从, 所以你将他们交在列国之民的手中.

9:31 But in your great compassions you did not put an end to them, and you did not abandon them. For you are a gracious and compassionate God.
然而你大发怜悯, 不全然灭绝他们, 也不丢弃他们; 因为你是有恩典,有怜悯的神.

9:32 “And now our God, the great, mighty, and awesome God who keeps his covenant and loyal love, do not belittle in your presence all of the hardship that is found in us, our kings, our officials, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all of our people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.
“我们的神啊, 你是至大,至能,至可畏,守约施慈爱的神. 我们的君王,首领,祭司,先知,列祖, 和你的众民, 从亚述列王的时候直到今日所遭遇的苦难, 现在求你不要以为小.

9:33 You are righteous in everything that has come on us, for you dealt faithfully, and we have acted wickedly.
在一切临到我们的事上, 你却是公义的; 因你所行的是诚实, 我们所做的是邪恶.

9:34 Our kings, our officials, our priests, and our ancestors did not keep your law and did not listen to your commandments and statutes that you declared to them.
我们的君王,首领,祭司,列祖都不遵守你的律法, 不听从你的诫命和你警戒他们的话.

9:35 And in their kingdom and in the greatness you gave to them, and in the wide and fertile land that you gave before them, they did not serve you and did not turn from their evil deeds.
他们在本国里沾你大恩的时候, 在你所赐给他们这广大肥美之地上不事奉你, 也不转离他们的恶行.

9:36 Behold, we are slaves to this day, and the land that you have given to our ancestors to eat its fruits and enjoy its goodness—behold, we are slaves in it!
我们现今作了奴仆; 至于你所赐给我们列祖享受其上的土产, 并美物之地, 看哪, 我们在这地上作了奴仆!

9:37 Its rich yield goes to the kings whom you have given over us because of our sins, and they are ruling over our dead bodies and our livestock at their pleasure. We are in great trouble.
这地许多出产归了列王, 就是你因我们的罪所派辖制我们的. 他们任意辖制我们的身体和牲畜, 我们遭了大难. ”

9:38 “Now because of all of this we make a binding written agreement and are writing on the sealed documents the names of our commanders, our Levites, and our priests.”
因这一切的事, 我们立确实的约, 写在册上. 我们的首领,利未人, 和祭司都签了名.

其余的民,祭司,利未人,守门的,歌唱的,尼提宁, 和一切离绝邻邦居民归服神律法的, 并他们的妻子,儿女, 凡有知识能明白的,

10:29 are helping their brothers, their nobles, and entering into a solemn oath to walk in the law of God which was given by the hand of Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all of the commandments of Yahweh our Lord and his judgments and regulations.
都随从他们贵冑的弟兄, 发咒起誓, 必遵行神藉他仆人摩西所传的律法, 谨守遵行耶和华─我们主的一切诫命,典章,律例;

10:30 We will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land nor take their daughters for our sons.
并不将我们的女儿嫁给这地的居民, 也不为我们的儿子娶他们的女儿.

10:31 And the peoples of the land who bring merchandise and any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we will not accept it from them on the Sabbath or on a holy day. We will forego the crops of the seventh year and cancel every debt.
这地的居民若在安息日, 或甚么圣日, 带了货物或粮食来卖给我们, 我们必不买. 每逢第七年必不耕种, 凡欠我们债的必不追讨.

10:32 “We put on ourselves the commandment upon us to yearly give a third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:
我们又为自己定例, 每年各人捐银一舍客勒三分之一, 为我们神殿的使用,

10:33 for the rows of bread, the offering of the daily sacrifice, the continual burnt sacrifice, the Sabbaths, the new moon festivals, the appointed festival times, the holy objects, the sin offerings that make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
就是为陈设饼,常献的素祭, 和燔祭, 安息日,月朔,节期所献的与圣物, 并以色列人的赎罪祭, 以及我们神殿里一切的费用.

10:34 And we have cast lots for the contributions of the wood offering of the priests, the Levites, and the people to bring it to the house of our God, by our fathers’ houses, at designated times, year by year, to burn on the altar of Yahweh our God—as it is written in the law.
我们的祭司,利未人, 和百姓都掣签, 看每年是哪一族按定期将献祭的柴奉到我们神的殿里, 照着律法上所写的, 烧在耶和华─我们神的坛上.

10:35 We also bring the first fruits of our soil and the first fruits of all the fruit trees, year by year, for the house of Yahweh.
又定每年将我们地上初熟的土产和各样树上初熟的果子都奉到耶和华的殿里.

10:36 And the firstborn of our sons and beasts—as it is written in the law—and the firstborn of our cattle and sheep, to bring to the house of our God and to the priests serving in the house of our God.
又照律法上所写的, 将我们头胎的儿子和首生的牛羊都奉到我们神的殿, 交给我们神殿里供职的祭司;

10:37 And we bring the best of our dough, our offerings, the fruit of every tree, new wine, and olive oil to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and to bring the tithe of our soil to the Levites, for the Levites receive the tithes in all of our rural towns.
并将初熟之麦子所磨的面和举祭,各样树上初熟的果子,新酒与油奉给祭司, 收在我们神殿的库房里, 把我们地上所产的十分之一奉给利未人, 因利未人在我们一切城邑的土产中当取十分之一.

10:38 And the priest, the descendant of Aaron, will be with the Levites during the tithe the Levites receive. The Levites will bring up a tithe of the tithes for the house of our God to the chambers of the storehouse.
利未人取十分之一的时候, 亚伦的子孙中, 当有一个祭司与利未人同在. 利未人也当从十分之一中取十分之一, 奉到我们神殿的屋子里, 收在库房中.

10:39 For the Israelites and the Levites will bring to the storerooms the offering of grain, new wine, and olive oil. These are the objects of the sanctuary and the priests who minister and the gatekeepers and singers. We will not neglect the house of our God.”
以色列人和利未人要将五谷,新酒, 和油为举祭, 奉到收存圣所器皿的屋子里, 就是供职的祭司,守门的,歌唱的所住的屋子. 这样, 我们就不离弃我们神的殿.

Nehemiah - Chapter 11

11:1 Now the commanders of the people lived in Jerusalem, but the remainder of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, the other nine’s place was in the other cities.
百姓的首领住在耶路撒冷. 其余的百姓掣签, 每十人中使一人来住在圣城耶路撒冷, 那九人住在别的城邑.

11:2 And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered to live in Jerusalem.
凡甘心乐意住在耶路撒冷的, 百姓都为他们祝福.

11:3 These are the heads of the province who lived in Jerusalem, but in the cities of Judah each one lived on his property in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the descendants of Solomon’s servants.
以色列人,祭司,利未人,尼提宁, 和所罗门仆人的后裔都住在犹大城邑, 各在自己的地业中. 本省的首领住在耶路撒冷的记在下面:

11:4 And some from the descendants of Judah and Benjamin lived in Jerusalem. From the descendants of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalalel, from the descendants of Perez;
其中有些犹大人和便雅悯人. 犹大人中有法勒斯的子孙,乌西雅的儿子亚他雅. 乌西雅是撒迦利雅的儿子; 撒迦利雅是亚玛利雅的儿子; 亚玛利雅是示法提雅的儿子; 示法提雅是玛勒列的儿子.

11:5 and Maaseiah son of Baruch, son of Col-Hozeh, son of Hazaiah, son of Adaiah, son of Jehoiarib, son of Zechariah, son of the Shilonite.
又有巴录的儿子玛西雅. 巴录是谷何西的儿子; 谷何西是哈赛雅的儿子; 哈赛雅是亚大雅的儿子; 亚大雅是约雅立的儿子; 约雅立是撒迦利雅的儿子; 撒迦利雅是示罗尼的儿子.

11:6 All of the descendants of Perez who were living in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight able-bodied men.

Nehemiah - Chapter 13

13:1 On that day the book of Moses was read in the hearing of the people and it was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God
当日, 人念摩西的律法书给百姓听, 遇见书上写着说, 亚扪人和摩押人永不可入神的会;

13:2 because they did not come to meet the Israelites with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them in order to curse them—but our God changed the curse into a blessing.
因为他们没有拿食物和水来迎接以色列人, 且雇了巴兰咒诅他们, 但我们的神使那咒诅变为祝福.

13:3 So it happened when they heard the law that they separated all of the foreign people from Israel.
以色列民听见这律法, 就与一切闲杂人绝交.

13:4 Before this, Eliashib the priest who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God—the one related to Tobiah—
先是蒙派管理我们神殿中库房的祭司以利亚实与多比雅结亲,

13:5 prepared for Tobiah a large chamber where they had formerly put the grain offering, the frankincense, the temple objects, tithes of grain, wine, and oil commanded for the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the offerings of the priests.
便为他预备一间大屋子, 就是从前收存素祭,乳香,器皿, 和照命令供给利未人,歌唱的,守门的五谷,新酒, 和油的十分之一, 并归祭司举祭的屋子.

13:6 During all of this, I was not in Jerusalem because in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king. At the end of some days I asked permission from the king to leave.
那时我不在耶路撒冷; 因为巴比伦王亚达薛西三十二年, 我回到王那里. 过了多日, 我向王告假.

13:7 So I came to Jerusalem. And I came to learn of the wrong that Eliashib had done for Tobiah by making him a room in the courtyard of the house of God.
我来到耶路撒冷, 就知道以利亚实为多比雅在神殿的院内预备屋子的那件恶事.

13:8 It was very displeasing for me, and I threw all of the objects from the house of Tobiah outside of the chamber.
我甚恼怒, 就把多比雅的一切家具从屋里都抛出去,

13:9 And I spoke in order, and they cleansed the chambers. Then I returned the objects of the house of God—the grain offering and the frankincense.
吩咐人洁净这屋子, 遂将神殿的器皿和素祭,乳香又搬进去.

13:10 And then I came to learn that the food of the Levites had not been given to them, so that the Levites and the singers, the doers of the work, had gone back each to his field.
我见利未人所当得的分无人供给他们, 甚至供职的利未人与歌唱的俱各奔回自己的田地去了.

13:11 So I quarreled with the prefects, and I said, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them and set them at their station.
我就斥责官长说: “为何离弃神的殿呢? ”我便招聚利未人, 使他们照旧供职.

13:12 So all of Judah brought the tithe of grain, new wine, and olive oil into the storehouses.
犹大众人就把五谷,新酒, 和油的十分之一送入库房.

13:13 I appointed as treasurer over the storehouses Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, Pedaiah from the Levites, and as their hand Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for they were considered faithful. The responsibility given to them was to distribute to their brothers.
我派祭司示利米雅,文士撒督, 和利未人毘大雅作库官管理库房; 副官是哈难. 哈难是撒刻的儿子; 撒刻是玛他尼的儿子. 这些人都是忠信的, 他们的职分是将所供给的分给他们的弟兄.

13:14 Remember me, my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my loyal acts which I have done in the house of my God and in his service.
我的神啊, 求你因这事记念我, 不要涂抹我为神的殿与其中的礼节所行的善.

13:15 In those days I saw in Judah people treading the wine press on the Sabbath, bringing in heaps of grain and loading them on donkeys along with wine, grapes and figs, and every kind of burden and bringing it all to Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath. And I warned them at that time against selling food.
那些日子, 我在犹大见有人在安息日醡酒(原文是踹酒醡), 搬运禾捆驮在驴上, 又把酒,葡萄,无花果, 和各样的担子在安息日担入耶路撒冷, 我就在他们卖食物的那日警戒他们.

13:16 Tyrian men who lived in Jerusalem brought fish and every kind of merchandise and sold it on the Sabbath to the descendants of Judah and in Jerusalem.
又有泰尔人住在耶路撒冷; 他们把鱼和各样货物运进来, 在安息日卖给犹大人.

13:17 So I quarreled with the nobles of Judah and said to them, “What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the day of the Sabbath?
我就斥责犹大的贵冑说: “你们怎么行这恶事犯了安息日呢?

13:18 Did not your ancestors do this also, and our God brought on us all of this disaster and on this city too? Now you are adding fierce wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”
从前你们列祖岂不是这样行, 以致我们神使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗? 现在你们还犯安息日, 使忿怒越发临到以色列! ”

13:19 So when it became dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors be shut and said that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. And I appointed some of my young men over the gates to prevent any goods being brought in on the day of the Sabbath.
在安息日的前一日, 耶路撒冷城门有黑影的时候, 我就吩咐人将门关锁, 不过安息日不准开放. 我又派我几个仆人管理城门, 免得有人在安息日担甚么担子进城.

13:20 So the merchants and the sellers of merchandise spent the night outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
于是商人和贩卖各样货物的, 一两次住宿在耶路撒冷城外.

13:21 But I warned them and said to them, “Why are you spending the night opposite the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands against you.” From that time on they did not come on the Sabbath.
我就警戒他们说: “你们为何在城外住宿呢? 若再这样, 我必下手拿办你们. ”从此以后, 他们在安息日不再来了.

13:22 And then I told two Levites that they must purify themselves and come to guard the gates in order to consecrate the day of the Sabbath. Remember this also, my God, and take pity on me according to the greatness of your loyal love.
我吩咐利未人洁净自己, 来守城门, 使安息日为圣. 我的神啊, 求你因这事记念我, 照你的大慈爱怜恤我.

13:23 Also in those days I saw Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
那些日子, 我也见犹大人娶了亚实突,亚扪,摩押的女子为妻.

13:24 Half of their children spoke Ashdodite and could not speak Judean, but only the tongues of other nations.
他们的儿女说话, 一半是亚实突的话, 不会说犹大的话, 所说的是照着各族的方言.

13:25 So I quarreled with them and cursed them and beat some of their men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath by God: “Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.
我就斥责他们, 咒诅他们, 打了他们几个人, 拔下他们的头发, 叫他们指著神起誓, 必不将自己的女儿嫁给外邦人的儿子, 也不为自己和儿子娶他们的女儿.

13:26 Did not King Solomon of Israel sin in this way? And among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Yet the foreign women made even him sin.
我又说: “以色列王所罗门不是在这样的事上犯罪吗? 在多国中并没有一王像他, 且蒙他神所爱, 神立他作以色列全国的王; 然而连他也被外邦女子引诱犯罪.

13:27 Should we listen to you all and do this great evil, acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”
如此, 我岂听你们行这大恶, 娶外邦女子干犯我们的神呢? ”

13:28 One from the sons of Jehoiada, son of the high priest Eliashib, who was the son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonote was there. I chased him away from me.
大祭司以利亚实的孙子,耶何耶大的一个儿子是和伦人参巴拉的女婿, 我就从我这里把他赶出去.

13:29 Remember them, my God, because of their defilements of the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
我的神啊, 求你记念他们的罪; 因为他们玷污了祭司的职任, 违背你与祭司利未人所立的约.

13:30 So I cleansed them from everything foreign, and I established responsibilities for the priests and Levites, each in his own work,
这样, 我洁净他们, 使他们离绝一切外邦人, 派定祭司和利未人的班次, 使他们各尽其职.

13:31 a contribution of the wood offering at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
我又派百姓按定期献柴和初熟的土产. 我的神啊, 求你记念我, 施恩与我.

1:6 There were curtains of finely woven linen and blue cloth tied with cords of fine white linen and purple cloth to silver curtain rings and pillars of alabaster, and couches of gold and silver on a paved floor of alabaster, precious stone, mother-of-pearl, and costly stones.
有白色,绿色,蓝色的帐子, 用细麻绳,紫色绳从银环内系在白玉石柱上; 有金银的床榻摆在红,白,黄,黑玉石的铺石地上.

1:7 Drinks were served in goblets of gold and goblets of different kinds, and there was plentiful royal wine according to the bounty of the king.
用金器皿赐酒, 器皿各有不同. 御酒甚多, 足显王的厚意.

1:8 There were no restrictions on the drinking, for the king had instructed every official of his palace to do as each one pleased.
喝酒有例, 不准勉强人, 因王吩咐宫里的一切臣宰, 让人各随己意.

1:9 Furthermore, Queen Vashti gave a banquet for the women in the palace that belonged to King Ahasuerus.
王后瓦实提在亚哈随鲁王的宫内也为妇女设摆筵席.

1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, seven of the eunuchs attending King Ahasuerus,
第七日, 亚哈随鲁王饮酒, 心中快乐, 就吩咐在他面前侍立的七个太监米户幔,比斯他,哈波拿,比革他,亚拔他,西达,甲迦,

1:11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown to show the people and the officials her beauty, for she was very attractive.
请王后瓦实提头戴王后的冠冕到王面前, 使各等臣民看她的美貌, 因为她容貌甚美.

1:12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king that was conveyed by the eunuchs. And the king became very angry, and his anger burned in him.
王后瓦实提却不肯遵太监所传的王命而来, 所以王甚发怒, 心如火烧.

1:13 And the king said to the wise men, the ones who know the times—for it was the procedure of the king before all those who knew law and rights;
那时, 在王左右常见王面,国中坐高位的, 有波斯和米底亚的七个大臣, 就是甲示拿,示达,押玛他,他施斯,米力,玛西拿,米母干, 都是达时务的明哲人. 按王的常规, 办事必先询问知例明法的人. 王问他们说:

1:14 and those next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, the seven officials of Persia and Media who had access to the king and sat first in the kingdom—
a

1:15 “According to the law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she has not done the command of King Ahasuerus conveyed by the eunuchs?
“王后瓦实提不遵太监所传的王命, 照例应当怎样办理呢? ”

1:16 And Memucan said before the king and the officials, “Not only has Queen Vashti done wrong to the king, but to all the officials and all of the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
米母干在王和众首领面前回答说: “王后瓦实提这事, 不但得罪王, 并且有害于王各省的臣民;

1:17 For this deed of the queen will be known to all the women, causing them to look with contempt on their husbands, as they will say, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him but she did not come!’
因为王后这事必传到众妇人的耳中, 说: ‘亚哈随鲁王吩咐王后瓦实提到王面前, 她却不来’, 她们就藐视自己的丈夫.

1:18 This day the women of nobility from Persia and Media will respond to all the officials of the king and there will be no end to contempt and anger.
今日波斯和米底亚的众夫人听见王后这事, 必向王的大臣照样行; 从此必大开藐视和忿怒之端.

1:19 If it pleases the king, let a royal edict go out from him, and let it be written among the laws of Persia and Media so that it will not be altered, that Vashti cannot come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to her neighbor who is better than she.
王若以为美, 就降旨写在波斯和米底亚人的例中, 永不更改, 不准瓦实提再到王面前, 将她王后的位分赐给比她还好的人.

1:20 And let the king’s decree that he will make be proclaimed in all his kingdom, because it is vast and all the women will honor their husbands, great and small.”
所降的旨意传遍通国(国度本来广大), 所有的妇人, 无论丈夫贵贱都必尊敬他. ”

1:21 This advice pleased the king and the officials, and the king acted according to the word of Memucan.
王和众首领都以米母干的话为美, 王就照这话去行,

1:22 And he sent letters to all the provinces of the king, to each province according to its own script, and to every people in their own language, that every man should be the master of his house and who speaks in the language of his people.
发诏书, 用各省的文字,各族的方言通知各省, 使为丈夫的在家中作主, 各说本地的方言.

Esther - Chapter 2

2:1 After these things, when the anger of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.
这事以后, 亚哈随鲁王的忿怒止息, 就想念瓦实提和她所行的, 并怎样降旨办她.

2:2 And the king’s servants attending him said, “Let them seek attractive young virgins for the king.
于是王的侍臣对王说: “不如为王寻找美貌的处女.

2:3 Let the king appoint chief officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them gather every attractive young virgin to the harem in the citadel of Susa under the care of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let him give them their beauty treatment.
王可以派官在国中的各省招聚美貌的处女到书珊城(或译: 宫)的女院, 交给掌管女子的太监希该, 给她们当用的香品.

2:4 And let the young woman who is pleasing in the king’s eyes become queen in place of Vashti. The thing was good in the king’s eyes, and he acted accordingly.
王所喜爱的女子可以立为王后, 代替瓦实提. ”王以这事为美, 就如此行.

2:5 There was a Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjaminite,
书珊城有一个犹大人, 名叫末底改, 是便雅悯人基士的曾孙, 示每的孙子, 睚珥的儿子.

2:6 who was deported from Jerusalem with the exiles who were deported with Jeconiah the king of Judah, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had deported.
从前巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将犹大王耶哥尼雅(又名约雅斤)和百姓从耶路撒冷掳去, 末底改也在其内.

2:7 He was raising Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she did not have a father or a mother; the young woman had a beautiful figure and was very attractive. When her father and mother died, Mordecai had taken her as his daughter.
末底改抚养他叔叔的女儿哈大沙(后名以斯帖), 因为她没有父母. 这女子又容貌俊美; 她父母死了, 末底改就收她为自己的女儿.

2:8 And it happened, at the proclaiming of the edict of the king and his law, when many young women were being gathered to the citadel of Susa under Hegai’s care, Esther was taken to the king’s palace under the care of Hegai who was in charge of the women.
王的谕旨传出, 就招聚许多女子到书珊城, 交给掌管女子的希该; 以斯帖也送入王宫, 交付希该.

2:9 The young woman pleased him and she won favor in his presence, and he quickly provided for her beauty treatment and her portion of food, with seven chosen maids to give to her from the king’s palace, and he advanced her and her maids to the best part of the harem.
希该喜悦以斯帖, 就恩待她, 急忙给她需用的香品和她所当得的分, 又派所当得的七个宫女服事她, 使她和她的宫女搬入女院上好的房屋.

2:10 Esther did not disclose her people and her family because Modecai had charged her that she must not tell.
以斯帖未曾将籍贯宗族告诉人, 因为末底改嘱咐她不可叫人知道.

2:11 And every day Modecai would walk up and down in front of the courtyard of the harem to learn how Esther was doing.
末底改天天在女院前边行走, 要知道以斯帖平安不平安, 并后事如何.

2:12 When the turn came for each girl to go to King Ahasuerus, after the end of twelve months of being under the regulations of the women—for the days of their beauty treatments had to be filled, six months with the oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and women’s cosmetics—
众女子照例先洁净身体十二个月: 六个月用没药油, 六个月用香料和洁身之物. 满了日期, 然后挨次进去见亚哈随鲁王.

2:13 in this way, the girl goes to the king and all that she asks is given to her to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.
女子进去见王是这样: 从女院到王宫的时候, 凡她所要的都必给她.

2:14 In the evening she would go and in the morning she would return to the second harem under the care of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not go back to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was called by name.
晚上进去, 次日回到女子第二院, 交给掌管妃嫔的太监沙甲; 除非王喜爱她, 再提名召她, 就不再进去见王.

2:15 When the turn came near for Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as a daughter, to go to the king, she did not ask anything except what Hegai the eunuch of the king who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther carried favor in the eyes of everyone that saw her.
末底改叔叔亚比孩的女儿, 就是末底改收为自己女儿的以斯帖, 按次序当进去见王的时候, 除了掌管女子的太监希该所派定给她的, 她别无所求. 凡看见以斯帖的都喜悦她.

2:16 Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, to his palace, in the tenth month that is Tebeth in the seventh year of his reign.
亚哈随鲁王第七年十月, 就是提别月, 以斯帖被引入宫见王.

2:17 And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won his favor and loyalty more than all the virgins, so he put a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
王爱以斯帖过于爱众女, 她在王眼前蒙宠爱比众处女更甚. 王就把王后的冠冕戴在她头上, 立她为王后, 代替瓦实提.

2:18 And the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and servants. And he granted a tax amnesty to the provinces and he gave gifts with royal liberality.
王因以斯帖的缘故给众首领和臣仆设摆大筵席, 又豁免各省的租税, 并照王的厚意大颁赏赐.

2:19 When the virgins were gathered a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the gate of the king.
第二次招聚处女的时候, 末底改坐在朝门.

2:20 Esther had not made known her family and her people, just as Mordecai had instructed her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her, just as when she was brought up by him.
以斯帖照着末底改所嘱咐的, 还没有将籍贯宗族告诉人; 因为以斯帖遵末底改的命, 如抚养她的时候一样.

2:21 In those days Mordecai was sitting at the gate of the king. Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs from the keepers of the threshold, became angry and they conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus.
当那时候, 末底改坐在朝门, 王的太监中有两个守门的, 辟探和提列, 恼恨亚哈随鲁王, 想要下手害他.

2:22 And the matter became known to Mordecai and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told it to the king in the name of Mordecai.
末底改知道了, 就告诉王后以斯帖. 以斯帖奉末底改的名, 报告于王;

2:23 And the matter was investigated and found to be so; and the two of them were hanged on the gallows, and it was written in the scroll of the events of the days before the presence of the king.
究察这事, 果然是实, 就把二人挂在木头上, 将这事在王面前写于历史上.

Esther - Chapter 3

3:1 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he exalted him and set his position above all the officials who were with him.
这事以后, 亚哈随鲁王抬举亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼, 使他高升, 叫他的爵位超过与他同事的一切臣宰.

3:2 And all of the king’s servants who were at the gate of the king were kneeling and bowing down to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him, but Mordecai did not kneel and bow down.
在朝门的一切臣仆都跪拜哈曼, 因为王如此吩咐; 惟独末底改不跪不拜.

3:3 And the king’s servants who were at the gate of the king said to Mordecai, “Why are you transgressing the command of the king?”
在朝门的臣仆问末底改说: “你为何违背王的命令呢? ”

3:4 They spoke to him day after day, but he did not listen to them, and they informed Haman to see if Mordecai’s resolve would prevail; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
他们天天劝他, 他还是不听, 他们就告诉哈曼, 要看末底改的事站得住站不住, 因他已经告诉他们自己是犹大人.

3:5 And Haman saw that Mordecai was not kneeling and bowing down to him, and he was filled with anger.
哈曼见末底改不跪不拜, 他就怒气填胸.

3:6 But he considered it beneath him to lay hands on Mordecai only, for they told him of Mordecai’s people, and Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were in the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
他们已将末底改的本族告诉哈曼; 他以为下手害末底改一人是小事, 就要灭绝亚哈随鲁王通国所有的犹大人, 就是末底改的本族.

3:7 In the first month, that is, the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasurus, he cast pur—that is, the lot—before the presence of Haman for the day and for the month, until the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar.
亚哈随鲁王十二年正月, 就是尼散月, 人在哈曼面前, 按日日月月掣普珥, 就是掣签, 要定何月何日为吉, 择定了十二月, 就是亚达月.

3:8 And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and separated among the peoples in all of the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from every other people, and they do not observe the laws of the king; it is not appropriate for the king to tolerate them.
哈曼对亚哈随鲁王说: “有一种民散居在王国各省的民中; 他们的律例与万民的律例不同, 也不守王的律例, 所以容留他们与王无益.

3:9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to those who do the job, to bring to the treasury of the king.”
王若以为美, 请下旨意灭绝他们; 我就捐一万他连得银子交给掌管国帑的人, 纳入王的府库. ”

3:10 So the king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
于是王从自己手上摘下戒指给犹大人的仇敌─亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼.

3:11 And the king said to Haman, “The money is given to you and to the people to do with it as you see fit.
王对哈曼说: “这银子仍赐给你, 这民也交给你, 你可以随意待他们. ”

3:12 And the king’s secretaries were called in the first month on the thirteenth day, and a decree was issued, according to all that Haman commanded, to the satraps of the king and to the governors who were over all the provinces, and to the officials of all the people, to each province according to its own script and to all people according to their own language; it was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and was sealed with the king’s ring.
正月十三日, 就召了王的书记来, 照着哈曼一切所吩咐的, 用各省的文字,各族的方言, 奉亚哈随鲁王的名写旨意, 传与总督和各省的省长, 并各族的首领; 又用王的戒指盖印,

3:13 Letters were sent by couriers to all the provinces of the king to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, on one day, the thirteenth day of the month, that is Adar, and to plunder their goods.
交给驿卒传到王的各省, 吩咐将犹大人, 无论老少妇女孩子, 在一日之间, 十二月, 就是亚达月十三日, 全然剪除, 杀戮灭绝, 并夺他们的财为掠物.

3:14 A copy of the edict was presented as law in every province making it known to all the people to be ready for that day.
抄录这旨意, 颁行各省, 宣告各族, 使他们预备等候那日.

3:15 The couriers went out quickly by order of the king, and the law was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; and the city of Susa was bewildered.
驿卒奉王命急忙起行, 旨意也传遍书珊城. 王同哈曼坐下饮酒, 书珊城的民却都慌乱.

Esther - Chapter 4

4:1 Mordecai learned all that had been done and he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes. And he went through the middle of the city and cried out a loud and bitter cry;
末底改知道所做的这一切事, 就撕裂衣服, 穿麻衣, 蒙灰尘, 在城中行走, 痛哭哀号.

4:2 he went up to the entrance of the gate of the king, for he could not go to the gate of the king in sackcloth.
到了朝门前停住脚步, 因为穿麻衣的不可进朝门.

4:3 In every province each place where the king’s edict and his law came, there was great mourning for the Jews with fasting, crying, wailing, and sackcloth; and ashes were spread out as a bed for them.
王的谕旨所到的各省各处, 犹大人大大悲哀, 禁食哭泣哀号, 穿麻衣躺在灰中的甚多.

4:4 And Esther’s maids and her eunuchs came and they told her, and the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mordecai so that he might remove his sackcloth—but he did not accept them.
王后以斯帖的宫女和太监来把这事告诉以斯帖, 她甚是忧愁, 就送衣服给末底改穿, 要他脱下麻衣, 他却不受.

4:5 Then Esther called Hathach from the king’s eunuchs who regularly attended to her, and she ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what was happening and why.
以斯帖就把王所派伺候她的一个太监, 名叫哈他革召来, 吩咐他去见末底改, 要知道这是甚么事, 是甚么缘故.

4:6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to the public square of the city, which was in front of the gate of the king,
于是哈他革出到朝门前的宽阔处见末底改.

4:7 and Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman has promised to pay to the treasury of the king for the destruction of the Jews.
末底改将自己所遇的事, 并哈曼为灭绝犹大人应许捐入王库的银数都告诉了他;

4:8 And he gave him a copy of the edict of the law that had been issued in Susa for their destruction to show Esther, and to inform her, and to charge her to go to the king and make supplication to him and entreat before him for her people.
又将所抄写传遍书珊城要灭绝犹大人的旨意交给哈他革, 要给以斯帖看, 又要给她说明, 并嘱咐她进去见王, 为本族的人在王面前恳切祈求.

4:9 And Hathach went back and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
哈他革回来, 将末底改的话告诉以斯帖;

4:10 And Esther spoke to Hathach and she gave him a message for Mordecai:
以斯帖就吩咐哈他革去见末底改, 说:

4:11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that if any man or woman who goes to the king to the inner courtyard, who is not called, he has one law, to be killed, except if the king extends to him the gold scepter so that he may live. I have not been called to come to the king for thirty days.”
“王的一切臣仆和各省的人民都知道有一个定例: 若不蒙召, 擅入内院见王的, 无论男女必被治死; 除非王向他伸出金杖, 不得存活. 现在我没有蒙召进去见王已经三十日了. ”

4:12 And they told Mordecai the words of Esther.
人就把以斯帖这话告诉末底改.

4:13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther: “Do not think that your life will be saved in the palace of the king more than all the Jews.
末底改托人回复以斯帖说: “你莫想在王宫里强过一切犹大人, 得免这祸.

4:14 For if indeed you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and the family of your father will perish. Who knows? Perhaps you have come to a royal position for a time such as this.”
此时你若闭口不言, 犹大人必从别处得解脱, 蒙拯救; 你和你父家必致灭亡. 焉知你得了王后的位分不是为现今的机会吗? ”

4:15 Esther replied to Mordecai:
以斯帖就吩咐人回报末底改说:

4:16 “Go, gather all the Jews that are found in Susa and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, both night and day. I and my young girls will fast likewise, and then I will go to the king, which is not according to the law; if I perish, I perish.
“你当去招聚书珊城所有的犹大人, 为我禁食三昼三夜, 不吃不喝; 我和我的宫女也要这样禁食. 然后我违例进去见王, 我若死就死吧! ”

4:17 And Mordecai went away and he did everything that Esther commanded him.
于是末底改照以斯帖一切所吩咐的去行.

Esther - Chapter 5

5:1 And it happened, on the third day, and Esther put on royal clothes, and she stood in the inner courtyard of the king’s palace, opposite the king’s palace; the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room opposite the doorway of the palace.
第三日, 以斯帖穿上朝服, 进王宫的内院, 对殿站立. 王在殿里坐在宝座上, 对着殿门.

5:2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the courtyard she found favor in his eyes, and the king held out the gold scepter that was in his hand to Esther, and Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.
王见王后以斯帖站在院内, 就施恩于她, 向她伸出手中的金杖; 以斯帖便向前摸杖头.

5:3 And the king said to her, “What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? It will be given to you—even half the kingdom.”
王对她说: “王后以斯帖啊, 你要甚么? 你求甚么, 就是国的一半也必赐给你. ”

5:4 And Esther said, “If it is good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
以斯帖说: “王若以为美, 就请王带着哈曼今日赴我所预备的筵席. ”

5:5 And the king said, “Bring Haman quickly to fulfill the request of Esther.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
王说: “叫哈曼速速照以斯帖的话去行”. 于是王带着哈曼赴以斯帖所预备的筵席.

5:6 And the king said to Esther while they were drinking wine, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even half the kingdom, it will done.
在酒席筵前, 王又问以斯帖说: “你要甚么, 我必赐给你; 你求甚么, 就是国的一半也必为你成就. ”

5:7 And Esther answered and said, “This is my petition and my request.
以斯帖回答说: “我有所要, 我有所求.

5:8 If I have found favor in the eyes of the king, and if it is good to the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them tomorrow, and I will do according to the word of the king.
我若在王眼前蒙恩, 王若愿意赐我所要的, 准我所求的, 就请王带着哈曼再赴我所要预备的筵席. 明日我必照王所问的说明. ”

5:9 And Haman went out on that day rejoicing and feeling good. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the gate of the king, and he did not rise or tremble before him, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
那日哈曼心中快乐, 欢欢喜喜地出来; 但见末底改在朝门不站起来, 连身也不动, 就满心恼怒末底改.

5:10 But Haman controlled himself and went to his house, and he sent for and brought his friends and Zeresh his wife.
哈曼暂且忍耐回家, 叫人请他朋友和他妻子细利斯来.

5:11 And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his wealth and the number of his sons and all the ways that the king had honored him and promoted him above the officials and king’s servants.
哈曼将他富厚的荣耀,众多的儿女, 和王抬举他使他超乎首领臣仆之上, 都述说给他们听.

5:12 And Haman added, “Esther the Queen did not let just anyone come to the banquet that she prepared with the king except me, and I am also invited tomorrow to her banquet with the king.
哈曼又说: “王后以斯帖预备筵席, 除了我之外不许别人随王赴席. 明日王后又请我随王赴席;

5:13 But all this fails to satisfy me when I see Mordecai the Jew setting at the gate of the king.”
只是我见犹大人末底改坐在朝门, 虽有这一切荣耀, 也与我无益. ”

5:14 And Zeresh his wife and all of his friends said to him, “Let them make a gallows fifty cubits high, and in the morning tell the king, “Let them hang Mordecai on it; then go with the king to the banquet happily.” The advice pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
他的妻细利斯和他一切的朋友对他说: “不如立一个五丈高的木架, 明早求王将末底改挂在其上, 然后你可以欢欢喜喜地随王赴席. ”哈曼以这话为美, 就叫人做了木架.

Esther - Chapter 6

6:1 During that night the king’s sleep escaped him, and he gave orders to bring the scroll of records and chronicles, and they were read before the king.
那夜王睡不着觉, 就吩咐人取历史来, 念给他听.

6:2 And it was found written how Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs from the keepers of the threshold who had conspired to assassinate King Ahasuerus.
正遇见书上写着说: 王的太监中有两个守门的, 辟探和提列, 想要下手害亚哈随鲁王, 末底改将这事告诉王后.

6:3 And the king asked, “What has been done to bestow honor to Mordecai for this?” And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
王说: “末底改行了这事, 赐他甚么尊荣爵位没有? ”伺候王的臣仆回答说: “没有赐他甚么. ”

6:4 And the king asked, “Who is in the courtyard?” Haman had just come to the courtyard of the king’s outer palace to tell the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
王说: “谁在院子里? ”(那时哈曼正进王宫的外院, 要求王将末底改挂在他所预备的木架上. )

6:5 And the king’s servants said to him, “Look! Haman is standing in the courtyard.” And the king said, “Let him come.”
臣仆说: “哈曼站在院内. ”王说: “叫他进来. ”

6:6 And Haman came, and the king said to him, “What is to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” And Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king wish to honor more than me?”
哈曼就进去. 王问他说: “王所喜悦尊荣的人, 当如何待他呢? ”哈曼心里说: “王所喜悦尊荣的, 不是我是谁呢? ”

6:7 So Haman said to the king, “For a man whom the king wishes to honor,
哈曼就回答说: “王所喜悦尊荣的,

6:8 let them bring royal clothing with which the king has clothed himself, and a horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal head-dress has been given.
当将王常穿的朝服和戴冠的御马,

6:9 And let the clothing and the horse be given to the man by the officials of the king’s nobles; let them cloth the man whom the king wishes to honor, and let him ride on his horse through the public square of the city, and let them proclaim before him, ‘Thus, it will be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor.’ ”
都交给王极尊贵的一个大臣, 命他将衣服给王所喜悦尊荣的人穿上, 使他骑上马, 走遍城里的街市, 在他面前宣告说: 王所喜悦尊荣的人, 就如此待他. ”

6:10 Then the king said to Haman, “Quickly, take the clothing and the horse, just as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew who sits at the gate of the king; you must not leave out anything from what you have said.”
王对哈曼说: “你速速将这衣服和马, 照你所说的, 向坐在朝门的犹大人末底改去行. 凡你所说的, 一样不可缺. ”

6:11 So Haman took the clothing and the horse, and he clothed Mordecai and let him ride through the public square of the city; and he proclaimed before him, “Thus, it is done to the man whom the king wishes to honor.”
于是哈曼将朝服给末底改穿上, 使他骑上马, 走遍城里的街市, 在他面前宣告说: “王所喜悦尊荣的人, 就如此待他. ”

6:12 Then Mordecai returned to the gate of the king, and Haman rushed to his house mournful and with his head covered.
末底改仍回到朝门, 哈曼却忧忧闷闷地蒙着头, 急忙回家去了,

6:13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends all that had happened to him. And his advisers and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is from the descendants of the Jews, you will not prevail against him, but will certainly fall before him.”
将所遇的一切事详细说给他的妻细利斯和他的众朋友听. 他的智慧人和他的妻细利斯对他说: “你在末底改面前始而败落, 他如果是犹大人, 你必不能胜他, 终必在他面前败落. ”

6:14 As they were still speaking with him the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
他们还与哈曼说话的时候, 王的太监来催哈曼快去赴以斯帖所预备的筵席.

Esther - Chapter 7

7:1 So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther.
王带着哈曼来赴王后以斯帖的筵席.

7:2 And the king again said to Esther, on the second day while they were drinking, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It will be given to you. What is your request? It will be given to you—even half the kingdom.”
这第二次在酒席筵前, 王又问以斯帖说: “王后以斯帖啊, 你要甚么, 我必赐给你; 你求甚么, 就是国的一半也必为你成就. ”

7:3 Then Queen Esther answered, and she said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it is good to the king, let my life be given to me at my petition and my people at my request;
王后以斯帖回答说: “我若在王眼前蒙恩, 王若以为美, 我所愿的, 是愿王将我的性命赐给我; 我所求的, 是求王将我的本族赐给我.

7:4 I and my people have been sold to be destroyed and killed, to be annihilated. If we had been sold as male and female slaves I would have kept quiet, because this is not a need sufficient to trouble the king.”
因我和我的本族被卖了, 要剪除杀戮灭绝我们. 我们若被卖为奴为婢, 我也闭口不言; 但王的损失, 敌人万不能补足. ”

7:5 And King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who gave himself the right to do this?”
亚哈随鲁王问王后以斯帖说: “擅敢起意如此行的是谁? 这人在哪里呢? ”

7:6 And Esther said, “The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman!” And Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
以斯帖说: “仇人敌人就是这恶人哈曼! ”哈曼在王和王后面前就甚惊惶.

7:7 The king rose in his anger from the banquet and went to the palace garden, and Haman stood to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he realized that the king was determined to make an end to his life.
王便大怒, 起来离开酒席往御园去了. 哈曼见王定意要加罪与他, 就起来, 求王后以斯帖救命.

7:8 And the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, where Haman was lying prostrate on the couch that Esther was on, and the king said, “Will he also molest the queen with me in the house?” As the words went from the king’s mouth they covered Haman’s face.
王从御园回到酒席之处, 见哈曼伏在以斯帖所靠的榻上; 王说: “他竟敢在宫内,在我面前凌辱王后吗? ”这话一出王口, 人就蒙了哈曼的脸.

7:9 And Habrona, one of the eunuchs in the presence of the king, said, “Look, the same gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai who spoke good for the sake of the king stands at Haman’s house, fifty cubits high.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.”
伺候王的一个太监名叫哈波拿, 说: “哈曼为那救王有功的末底改做了五丈高的木架, 现今立在哈曼家里. ”王说: “把哈曼挂在其上. ”

7:10 And they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the anger of the king was abated.
于是人将哈曼挂在他为末底改所预备的木架上. 王的忿怒这才止息.

Esther - Chapter 8

8:1 On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews; and Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her.
当日, 亚哈随鲁王把犹大人仇敌哈曼的家产赐给王后以斯帖. 末底改也来到王面前, 因为以斯帖已经告诉王, 末底改是她的亲属.

8:2 And the king removed his signet ring that he had taken away from Haman, and he gave it to Mordecai. So Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
王摘下自己的戒指, 就是从哈曼追回的, 给了末底改. 以斯帖派末底改管理哈曼的家产.

8:3 And Esther again spoke before the king, and she fell before his feet and wept, pleading for his grace to avert Haman the Agagite’s evil plan and the plot that he devised against the Jews.
以斯帖又俯伏在王脚前, 流泪哀告, 求他除掉亚甲族哈曼害犹大人的恶谋.

8:4 And the king held out to Esther the scepter of gold, and Esther rose and stood before the king,
王向以斯帖伸出金杖; 以斯帖就起来, 站在王前,

8:5 and she said, “If it is good to the king, and if I have found favor before him, and if the king is pleased with this matter, and I have his approval, let an edict be written to revoke the letters of the plans of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the provinces of the king.
说: “亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设谋传旨, 要杀灭在王各省的犹大人. 现今王若愿意, 我若在王眼前蒙恩, 王若以为美, 若喜悦我, 请王另下旨意, 废除哈曼所传的那旨意.

8:6 For how can I bear to look on the disaster that will find my people, and how can I bear to look on the destruction of my family?”
我何忍见我本族的人受害? 何忍见我同宗的人被灭呢? ”

8:7 And King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Look, I have given Haman’s house to Esther, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he plotted against the Jews.
亚哈随鲁王对王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改说: “因哈曼要下手害犹大人, 我已将他的家产赐给以斯帖, 人也将哈曼挂在木架上.

8:8 Write as you see fit concerning the Jews in the name of the king, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”
现在你们可以随意奉王的名写谕旨给犹大人, 用王的戒指盖印; 因为奉王名所写,用王戒指盖印的谕旨, 人都不能废除. ”

8:9 And the secretaries of the king were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is in the month of Sivan on the twenty-third day, and an edict was written according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews and to the governors and satraps and officials of the provinces from India to Cush—one hundred and twenty-seven provinces—each province according to its own script and to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
三月, 就是西弯月二十三日, 将王的书记召来, 按著末底改所吩咐的, 用各省的文字,各族的方言, 并犹大人的文字方言写谕旨, 传给那从印度直到古实一百二十七省的犹大人和总督省长首领.

8:10 And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and he sealed the letters with the king’s signet ring and sent them by couriers on horses, riding on royal horses bred by racing mares.
末底改奉亚哈随鲁王的名写谕旨, 用王的戒指盖印, 交给骑御马圈快马的驿卒, 传到各处.

8:11 In them the king allowed the Jews who were in every city to assemble and defend their lives, to destroy and kill and annihilate any army of any people or province attacking them, including women and children, and to plunder their spoil,
谕旨中, 王准各省各城的犹大人在一日之间, 十二月, 就是亚达月十三日, 聚集保护性命, 剪除杀戮灭绝那要攻击犹大人的一切仇敌和他们的妻子儿女, 夺取他们的财为掠物.

8:12 in one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.
a

8:13 A copy of the edict was to be given as law in each province to inform all the people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves from their enemies.
抄录这谕旨, 颁行各省, 宣告各族, 使犹大人预备等候那日, 在仇敌身上报仇.

8:14 The mounted couriers on the royal horses went out without delay, urged by the king’s word. The law was given in the citadel of Susa.
于是骑快马的驿卒被王命催促, 急忙起行; 谕旨也传遍书珊城.

8:15 Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue cloth and white linen, and a great crown of gold and a robe of fine white linen and purple, and the city of Susa was shouting and rejoicing.
末底改穿着蓝色白色的朝服, 头戴大金冠冕, 又穿紫色细麻布的外袍, 从王面前出来; 书珊城的人民都欢呼快乐.

8:16 For the Jews, there was light and gladness, joy and honor.
犹大人有光荣, 欢喜快乐而得尊贵.

8:17 In every province and city, wherever the king’s edict and his law came, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a banquet and a holiday, and many of the people from the country were posing as Jews because the fear of the Jews had fallen on them.
王的谕旨所到的各省各城, 犹大人都欢喜快乐, 设摆筵宴, 以那日为吉日. 那国的人民, 有许多因惧怕犹大人, 就入了犹大籍.

Esther - Chapter 9

9:1 In the twelfth month, that is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, on which the edict of the king arrived and his law was enacted, on the day in which the enemies of the Jews had hoped to gain power over them but was overturned, and the Jews gained power against their enemies,
十二月, 乃亚达月十三日, 王的谕旨将要举行, 就是犹大人的仇敌盼望辖制他们的日子, 犹大人反倒辖制恨他们的人.

9:2 the Jews gathered in their cities in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to strike against those who sought their destruction, and no one could withstand them, as the fear of them fell on all the people.
犹大人在亚哈随鲁王各省的城里聚集, 下手击杀那要害他们的人. 无人能敌挡他们, 因为各族都惧怕他们.

9:3 All the officials of the provinces, the satraps, governors, and those who did the work of the king were supporting the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
各省的首领,总督,省长, 和办理王事的人, 因惧怕末底改, 就都帮助犹大人.

9:4 For Mordecai was high-ranking in the king’s palace and his fame spread throughout all the provinces as Mordecai grew more and more powerful.
末底改在朝中为大, 名声传遍各省, 日渐昌盛.

9:5 The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them; and they did as they pleased with those that hated them.
犹大人用刀击杀一切仇敌, 任意杀灭恨他们的人.

9:6 And in the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,
在书珊城, 犹大人杀灭了五百人;

9:7 and Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
又杀巴珊大他,达分,亚斯帕他,

9:8 Portha, Adalia, Aridatha,
破拉他,亚大利雅,亚利大他,

9:9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
帕玛斯他,亚利赛,亚利代,瓦耶撒他;

9:10 the ten sons of Haman, the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews; but they did not touch the plunder.
这十人都是哈米大他的孙子,犹大人仇敌哈曼的儿子. 犹大人却没有下手夺取财物.

9:11 On that day the number of those being killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king.
当日, 将书珊城被杀的人数呈在王前.

9:12 And the king said to Queen Esther, “In the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? What is your petition? It will be granted to you. And what further is your request? It will be done.”
王对王后以斯帖说: “犹大人在书珊城杀灭了五百人, 又杀了哈曼的十个儿子, 在王的各省不知如何呢? 现在你要甚么, 我必赐给你; 你还求甚么, 也必为你成就. ”

9:13 Esther replied, “If it is good to the king, let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let them hang Haman’s ten sons on the gallows.”
以斯帖说: “王若以为美, 求你准书珊的犹大人, 明日也照今日的旨意行, 并将哈曼十个儿子的尸首挂在木架上. ”

9:14 And the king said to do so. And a decree was issued in Susa and Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
王便允准如此行. 旨意传在书珊, 人就把哈曼十个儿子的尸首挂起来了.

9:15 And the Jews were gathered who were in Susa, and on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and they killed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not touch the plunder.
亚达月十四日, 书珊的犹大人又聚集在书珊, 杀了三百人, 却没有下手夺取财物.

9:16 The rest of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered and defended their lives and found repose from their enemies. And they killed seventy-five thousand of those that hated them, but they did not touch the plunder.
在王各省其余的犹大人也都聚集保护性命, 杀了恨他们的人七万五千, 却没有下手夺取财物. 这样, 就脱离仇敌, 得享平安.

9:17 This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. They rested on the fourteenth day and made it a day of feasting and joy.
亚达月十三日, 行了这事; 十四日安息, 以这日为设筵欢乐的日子.

9:18 But the Jews who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day, and rested on the fifteenth day. And they made it a day of feasting and joy.
但书珊的犹大人, 这十三日,十四日聚集杀戮仇敌; 十五日安息, 以这日为设筵欢乐的日子.

9:19 Therefore the Jews in the rural areas, living in the rural towns, made the fourteenth month of Adar a day of joy and feasting, a festive day of giving gifts to each other.
所以住无城墙乡村的犹大人, 如今都以亚达月十四日为设筵欢乐的吉日, 彼此餽送礼物.

9:20 Mordecai wrote down these things and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all of the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
末底改记录这事, 写信与亚哈随鲁王各省远近所有的犹大人,

9:21 to impose on them to keep the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day, every year,
嘱咐他们每年守亚达月十四,十五两日,

9:22 as the day that the Jews found relief from their enemies, and the month which changed for them from sorrow to joy, and from a mourning ceremony to a festive day; to make them days of feasting and joy, and giving gifts to each other and to the poor.
以这月的两日为犹大人脱离仇敌得平安,转忧为喜,转悲为乐的吉日. 在这两日设筵欢乐, 彼此餽送礼物, 赒济穷人.

9:23 And the Jews adopted what they had begun to do and what Mordecai had written to them.
于是, 犹大人按著末底改所写与他们的信, 应承照初次所守的守为永例;

9:24 For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he had cast pur, that is the lot, to rout them out and destroy them.
是因犹大人的仇敌亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设谋杀害犹大人, 掣普珥, 就是掣签, 为要杀尽灭绝他们;

9:25 But when it came to the attention of the king, he gave orders in writing that his evil plot that he had devised against the Jews should return on his head, and they hung him and his sons on the gallows.
这事报告于王, 王便降旨使哈曼谋害犹大人的恶事归到他自己的头上, 并吩咐把他和他的众子都挂在木架上.

9:26 Therefore they called these days Purim, because of the name Pur. Thus because of all the words of this letter, and of what they faced concerning this, and of what had happened to them,
照着普珥的名字, 犹大人就称这两日为“普珥日”. 他们因这信上的话, 又因所看见所遇见的事,

9:27 the Jews established and adopted it for themselves and for their offspring, and for all who joined them. They did not neglect to observe these two days every year as it was written and appointed to them.
就应承自己与后裔, 并归附他们的人, 每年按时必守这两日, 永远不废.

9:28 These days are to be remembered and are to be kept in every generation, and in family, province, and city; and these days of Purim are not to be neglected among the Jews, and their memory shall not come to an end among their offspring.
各省各城,家家户户,世世代代纪念遵守这两日, 使这“普珥日”在犹大人中不可废掉, 在他们后裔中也不可忘记.

9:29 So Queen Esther the daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote in full authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
亚比孩的女儿─王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改以全权写第二封信, 坚嘱犹大人守这“普珥日”,

9:30 He sent letters of words of peace and truth to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of Ahasuerus’ kingdom,
用和平诚实话写信给亚哈随鲁王国中一百二十七省所有的犹大人,

9:31 to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had imposed, and just as they had imposed on themselves and their offspring regulations of the fast and their lament.
劝他们按时守这“普珥日”, 禁食呼求, 是照犹大人末底改和王后以斯帖所嘱咐的, 也照犹大人为自己与后裔所应承的.

9:32 And the command of Esther established these practices of Purim, and it was written on the scroll.
以斯帖命定守“普珥日”, 这事也记录在书上.

Esther - Chapter 10

10:1 King Ahasuerus imposed forced labor on the land and islands of the sea.
亚哈随鲁王使旱地和海岛的人民都进贡.

10:2 All the work of his authority and his powerful deeds, and the full accounting of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written on the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
他以权柄能力所行的, 并他抬举末底改使他高升的事, 岂不都写在米底亚和波斯王的历史上吗?

10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was second-in-command to King Ahasuerus. He was great for the Jews and popular with many of his brothers, for he sought good for his people, interceding for the welfare of all his descendants.
犹大人末底改作亚哈随鲁王的宰相, 在犹大人中为大, 得他众弟兄的喜悦, 为本族的人求好处, 向他们说和平的话.

Job (约伯记)

Job - Chapter 1

1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.
乌斯地有一个人名叫约伯; 那人完全正直, 敬畏神, 远离恶事.

1:2 And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
他生了七个儿子, 三个女儿.

1:3 Then his livestock came to be seven thousand sheep and goats and three thousand camels and five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred female donkeys, and he had very many slaves, and that man was greater than all the people of the east.
他的家产有七千羊, 三千骆驼, 五百对牛, 五百母驴, 并有许多仆婢. 这人在东方人中就为至大.

1:4 And his sons used to go and hold a feast at each other’s house on his day, and they would send, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
他的儿子按著日子各在自己家里设摆筵宴, 就打发人去, 请了他们的三个姊妹来, 与他们一同吃喝.

1:5 Then when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send, and he would sanctify them. Thus he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of all of them, because Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their heart.” This is what Job used to do all the time.
筵宴的日子过了, 约伯打发人去叫他们自洁. 他清早起来, 按着他们众人的数目献燔祭; 因为他说: “恐怕我儿子犯了罪, 心中弃掉神. ”约伯常常这样行.

1:6 And it happened one day that the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came into their midst.
有一天, 神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前, 撒但也来在其中.

1:7 So Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
耶和华问撒但说: “你从哪里来? ”撒但回答说: “我从地上走来走去, 往返而来. ”

1:8 So Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? Indeed, there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil.”
耶和华问撒但说: “你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有? 地上再没有人像他完全正直, 敬畏神, 远离恶事. ”

1:9 Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
撒但回答耶和华说: “约伯敬畏神, 岂是无故呢?

1:10 Have you not put a fence around him and his household and around all that belongs to him on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock has increased in the land.
你岂不是四面圈上篱笆围护他和他的家, 并他一切所有的吗? 他手所做的都蒙你赐福; 他的家产也在地上增多.

1:11 But, on the other hand, stretch out your hand and touch all that belongs to him and see whether he will curse you to your face.”
你且伸手毁他一切所有的; 他必当面弃掉你. ”

1:12 So Yahweh said to Satan, “Look, all that belongs to him is in your power. Only do not stretch out your hand against him.” So Satan went out from Yahweh’s presence.
耶和华对撒但说: “凡他所有的都在你手中; 只是不可伸手加害于他. ”于是撒但从耶和华面前退去.

1:13 And then there was one day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother’s house.
有一天, 约伯的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒,

1:14 And a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the female donkeys were feeding beside them.
有报信的来见约伯, 说: “牛正耕地, 驴在旁边吃草,

1:15 Then the Sabeans attacked, and they took them, and they slew the servants by the edge of the sword. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
示巴人忽然闯来, 把牲畜掳去, 并用刀杀了仆人; 惟有我一人逃脱, 来报信给你. ”

1:16 While this one was still speaking, another came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens, and it blazed up against the sheep and goats and against the servants, and it consumed them. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
他还说话的时候, 又有人来说: “神从天上降下火来, 将群羊和仆人都烧灭了; 惟有我一人逃脱, 来报信给你. ”

1:17 While this one was still speaking, another came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three divisions, and they made a raid on the camels, and they carried them away, and they struck your servants by the edge of the sword, but I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
他还说话的时候, 又有人来说: “迦勒底人分作三队忽然闯来, 把骆驼掳去, 并用刀杀了仆人; 惟有我一人逃脱, 来报信给你. ”

1:18 At the time this one was speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their firstborn brother’s house.
他还说话的时候, 又有人来说: “你的儿女正在他们长兄的家里吃饭喝酒,

1:19 And behold, a great wind came from across the desert, and it struck the four corners of the house so that it fell upon the young people, and they died. But I escaped, even I alone, to tell you.”
不料, 有狂风从旷野刮来, 击打房屋的四角, 房屋倒塌在少年人身上, 他们就都死了; 惟有我一人逃脱, 来报信给你. ”

1:20 Then Job arose and tore his outer garment and shaved his head; then he fell upon the ground and he worshiped.
约伯便起来, 撕裂外袍, 剃了头, 伏在地上下拜,

1:21 Then he said, “Naked I came out from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return there. Yahweh gives, and Yahweh takes. Let Yahweh’s name be blessed.”
说: “我赤身出于母胎, 也必赤身归回; 赏赐的是耶和华, 收取的也是耶和华. 耶和华的名是应当称颂的. ”

1:22 In all this, Job did not sin and did not charge God with wrongdoing.
在这一切的事上约伯并不犯罪, 也不以神为愚妄(或译: 也不妄评神).

Job - Chapter 2

2:1 And then one day the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came into their midst to present himself before Yahweh.
又有一天, 神的众子来侍立在耶和华面前, 撒但也来在其中.

2:2 So Yahweh asked Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From roaming on the earth and from walking about in it.”
耶和华问撒但说: “你从哪里来? ”撒但回答说: “我从地上走来走去, 往返而来. ”

2:3 So Yahweh asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? Indeed, there is no one like him on the earth—a blameless man and upright and God-fearing and turning away from evil. And still he persists in his blamelessness even though you incited me against him to destroy him for nothing.”
耶和华问撒但说: “你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有? 地上再没有人像他完全正直, 敬畏神, 远离恶事. 你虽激动我攻击他, 无故地毁灭他, 他仍然持守他的纯正. ”

2:4 Then Satan answered him and said, “Skin for skin! All that that man has he will give for his life.
撒但回答耶和华说: “人以皮代皮, 情愿舍去一切所有的, 保全性命.

2:5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bones and his flesh, and see whether he will curse you to your face.”
你且伸手伤他的骨头和他的肉, 他必当面弃掉你. ”

2:6 So Yahweh said to Satan, “All right, he is in your power. Only spare his life.”
耶和华对撒但说: “他在你手中, 只要存留他的性命. ”

2:7 So Satan went out from Yahweh’s presence, and he inflicted Job with loathsome skin sores from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head.
于是撒但从耶和华面前退去, 击打约伯, 使他从脚掌到头顶长毒疮.

2:8 So he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and he sat in the midst of the ashes.
约伯就坐在炉灰中, 拿瓦片刮身体.

2:9 Then his wife said to him, “Are you still persisting in your blamelessness? Curse God and die.”
他的妻子对他说: “你仍然持守你的纯正吗? 你弃掉神, 死了吧! ”

2:10 So he said to her, “You speak like one of the foolish women speaks. Indeed, should we receive the good from God, but not receive the evil?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
约伯却对她说: “你说话像愚顽的妇人一样. 嗳! 难道我们从神手里得福, 不也受祸吗? ”在这一切的事上约伯并不以口犯罪.

2:11 Thus Job’s three friends heard of this calamity that had come upon him. So each set out from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite. And they met together to come to console him and to comfort him.
约伯的三个朋友─提幔人以利法,书亚人比勒达,拿玛人琐法─听说有这一切的灾祸临到他身上, 各人就从本处约会同来, 为他悲伤, 安慰他.

2:12 Thus they lifted up their eyes from afar, but they did not recognize him, so they raised their voice, and they wept, and each man tore his outer garment and threw dust on their heads toward the sky.
他们远远地举目观看, 认不出他来, 就放声大哭. 各人撕裂外袍, 把尘土向天扬起来, 落在自己的头上.

2:13 Then they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering was very great.
他们就同他七天七夜坐在地上, 一个人也不向他说句话, 因为他极其痛苦.

Job - Chapter 3

3:1 Afterward Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
此后, 约伯开口咒诅自己的生日,

3:2 Thus Job spoke up and said,
说:

3:3 “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’
愿我生的那日和说怀了男胎的那夜都灭没.

3:4 Let that day become darkness; may God not seek it from above, nor may daylight shine on it.
愿那日变为黑暗; 愿神不从上面寻找它; 愿亮光不照于其上.

3:5 Let darkness and deep shadow claim it; let clouds settle on it; let them terrify it with the blackness of day.
愿黑暗和死荫索取那日; 愿密云停在其上; 愿日蚀恐吓它.

3:6 Let darkness seize that night; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months.
愿那夜被幽暗夺取, 不在年中的日子同乐, 也不入月中的数目.

3:7 Look, let that night become barren; let a joyful song not enter it.
愿那夜没有生育, 其间也没有欢乐的声音.

3:8 Let those who curse the day curse it, those who are skilled at rousing Leviathan.
愿那咒诅日子且能惹动鳄鱼的咒诅那夜.

3:9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light but there be none, and let it not see the eyelids of dawn
愿那夜黎明的星宿变为黑暗, 盼亮却不亮, 也不见早晨的光线(原文是眼皮);

3:10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
因没有把怀我胎的门关闭, 也没有将患难对我的眼隐藏.

3:11 “Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not come forth from the womb and expire?
我为何不出母胎而死? 为何不出母腹绝气?

3:12 Why did the knees receive me and the breasts, that I could suck?
为何有膝接收我? 为何有奶哺养我?

3:13 For now I would lie down, and I would be at peace; I would be asleep; then I would be at rest
不然, 我就早已躺卧安睡,

3:14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who rebuild ruins for themselves,
和地上为自己重造荒邱的君王,谋士,

3:15 or with high officials who have gold, who fill up their houses with silver.
或与有金子,将银子装满了房屋的王子一同安息;

3:16 Or why was I not hidden like a miscarriage, like infants who did not see the light?
或像隐而未现,不到期而落的胎, 归于无有, 如同未见光的婴孩.

3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest;
在那里恶人止息搅扰, 困乏人得享安息,

3:18 the prisoners are at ease together; they do not hear the oppressor’s voice.
被囚的人同得安逸, 不听见督工的声音.

3:19 The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his masters.
大小都在那里; 奴仆脱离主人的辖制.

3:20 “Why does he give light to one in misery and life to those bitter of soul,
受患难的人为何有光赐给他呢? 心中愁苦的人为何有生命赐给他呢?

3:21 who wait for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than for treasures,
他们切望死, 却不得死; 求死, 胜于求隐藏的珍宝.

3:22 who rejoice exceedingly, and they are glad when they find the grave?
他们寻见坟墓就快乐, 极其欢喜.

3:23 Why does he give light to a man whose way is hidden, and God has fenced him in all around?
人的道路既然遮隐, 神又把他四面围困, 为何有光赐给他呢?

3:24 For my sighing comes before my bread, and my groanings gush forth like water
我未曾吃饭就发出叹息; 我唉哼的声音涌出如水.

3:25 because the dread that I feel has come upon me, and what I feared befalls me.
因我所恐惧的临到我身, 我所惧怕的迎我而来.

3:26 I am not at ease, and I am not at peace, and I do not have rest, thus turmoil has come.”
我不得安逸, 不得平静, 也不得安息, 却有患难来到.

Job - Chapter 4

4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
提幔人以利法回答说:

4:2 “If someone would test a word with you, would you be offended? But who can refrain from speaking?
人若想与你说话, 你就厌烦吗? 但谁能忍住不说呢?

4:3 Look, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened weak hands.
你素来教导许多的人, 又坚固软弱的手.

4:4 Your words have raised up the one who stumbles, and you have strengthened knees giving way.
你的言语曾扶助那将要跌倒的人; 你又使软弱的膝稳固.

4:5 But now it has come to you, and you are worn out; it touches you, and you are horrified.
但现在祸患临到你, 你就昏迷, 挨近你, 你便惊惶.

4:6 Is not your fear in God your confidence? Is not your hope even the integrity of your ways?
你的倚靠不是在你敬畏神吗? 你的盼望不是在你行事纯正吗?

4:7 “Think now, who has perished who is innocent? Or where are the upright destroyed?
请你追想: 无辜的人有谁灭亡? 正直的人在何处剪除?

4:8 Just as I have seen, plowers of mischief and sowers of trouble will reap it.
按我所见, 耕罪孽,种毒害的人都照样收割.

4:9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they come to an end.
神一出气, 他们就灭亡; 神一发怒, 他们就消没.

4:10 The roar of the lion and the voice of a lion in its prime, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.
狮子的吼叫和猛狮的声音尽都止息; 少壮狮子的牙齿也都敲掉.

4:11 The lion is perishing without prey, and the lion’s whelps are scattered.
老狮子因绝食而死; 母狮之子也都离散.

4:12 “And a word came stealing to me, and my ear received the whisper from it.
我暗暗地得了默示; 我耳朵也听其细微的声音.

4:13 Amid troubling thoughts from night visions, at the falling of deep sleep on men,
在思念夜中,异象之间, 世人沉睡的时候,

4:14 dread met me, and trembling, and it made many of my bones shake.
恐惧,战兢临到我身, 使我百骨打战.

4:15 And a spirit glided before my face; the hair of my flesh bristled.
有灵从我面前经过, 我身上的毫毛直立.

4:16 It stood still, but I could not recognize its appearance; a form was before my eyes; there was a hush, and I heard a voice:
那灵停住, 我却不能辨其形状; 有影像在我眼前. 我在静默中听见有声音说:

4:17 ‘Can a human being be more righteous than God, or can a man be more pure than his Maker?
必死的人岂能比神公义吗? 人岂能比造他的主洁净吗?

4:18 Look, he does not trust in his servants and he charges his angels with error.
主不信靠他的臣仆, 并且指他的使者为愚昧;

4:19 How much more dwellers in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust? They are crushed like a moth.
何况那住在土房,根基在尘土里,被蠹虫所毁坏的人呢?

4:20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed; without anyone regarding it they perish forever.
早晚之间, 就被毁灭, 永归无有, 无人理会.

4:21 Is not their tent cord pulled up within them? They die, but not in wisdom.’
他帐棚的绳索岂不从中抽出来呢? 他死, 且是无智慧而死.

Job - Chapter 5

5:1 “Call now, is there anyone answering you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
你且呼求, 有谁答应你? 诸圣者之中, 你转向哪一位呢?

5:2 For vexation will slay the fool, and jealousy will kill the simple.
忿怒害死愚妄人; 嫉妒杀死痴迷人.

5:3 I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
我曾见愚妄人扎下根, 但我忽然咒诅他的住处.

5:4 His children are far from deliverance, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer—
他的儿女远离稳妥的地步, 在城门口被压, 并无人搭救.

5:5 whose harvest the hungry eats, and he takes it from behind the thorns; and the thirsty pants after their wealth.
他的庄稼有饥饿的人吃尽了, 就是在荆棘里的也抢去了; 他的财宝有网罗张口吞灭了.

5:6 Indeed, mischief does not come from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the earth.
祸患原不是从土中出来; 患难也不是从地里发生.

5:7 But a human being is born to trouble, and they soar aloft like sparks.
人生在世必遇患难, 如同火星飞腾.

5:8 “But I myself will seek God, and to God I would commit my cause.
至于我, 我必仰望神, 把我的事情托付他.

5:9 He is doing great and unsearchable things, marvelous things without number—
他行大事不可测度, 行奇事不可胜数:

5:10 the one who is giving rain on the surface of the earth and is sending water on the surface of the fields,
降雨在地上, 赐水于田里;

5:11 to set the lowly on high, and those mourning are lifted to safety.
将卑微的安置在高处, 将哀痛的举到稳妥之地;

5:12 He is frustrating the devices of the crafty, and their hands do not achieve success.
破坏狡猾人的计谋, 使他们所谋的不得成就.

5:13 He is capturing the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are rushed.
他叫有智慧的中了自己的诡计, 使狡诈人的计谋速速灭亡.

5:14 In the daytime they meet with darkness, and they grope at noon as in the night.
他们白昼遇见黑暗, 午间摸索如在夜间.

5:15 And he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the poor from the hand of the strong.
神拯救穷乏人脱离他们口中的刀和强暴人的手.

5:16 So there is hope for the powerless, and wickedness shuts its mouth.
这样, 贫寒的人有指望, 罪孽之辈必塞口无言.

5:17 “Look, happy is the human being whom God reproves; and you must not despise the discipline of Shaddai,
神所惩治的人是有福的! 所以你不可轻看全能者的管教.

5:18 for he himself wounds, but he binds up; he strikes, but his hands heal.
因为他打破, 又缠裹; 他击伤, 用手医治.

5:19 From six troubles he will deliver you, and in seven evil shall not touch you.
你六次遭难, 他必救你; 就是七次, 灾祸也无法害你.

5:20 In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
在饥荒中, 他必救你脱离死亡; 在争战中, 他必救你脱离刀剑的权力.

5:21 From the scourge of the tongue you shall be hidden, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
你必被隐藏, 不受口舌之害; 灾殃临到, 你也不惧怕.

5:22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and you shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.
你遇见灾害饥馑, 就必嬉笑; 地上的野兽, 你也不惧怕.

5:23 For your covenant will be with the stones of the field, and the wild animals of the field will be at peace with you.
因为你必与田间的石头立约; 田里的野兽也必与你和好.

5:24 And you shall know that your tent is safe, and you will inspect your fold, and you shall not be missing anything.
你必知道你帐棚平安, 要查看你的羊圈, 一无所失;

5:25 And you shall know that your offspring are many, and your descendants like the vegetation of the earth.
也必知道你的后裔将来发达, 你的子孙像地上的青草.

5:26 You shall come in maturity to the grave, as the raising up of a stack of sheaves in its season.
你必寿高年迈才归坟墓, 好像禾捆到时收藏.

5:27 “Look, we have searched this out—it is true; hear it and know it yourself.”
这理, 我们已经考察, 本是如此. 你须要听, 要知道是与自己有益.

Job - Chapter 6

6:1 Then Job answered and said,
约伯回答说:

6:2 “If only my vexation could be well weighed, and my calamity could be lifted up together with it in the balances,
惟愿我的烦恼称一称, 我一切的灾害放在天平里;

6:3 for then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words have been rash,
现今都比海沙更重, 所以我的言语急躁.

6:4 for the arrows of Shaddai are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
因全能者的箭射入我身; 其毒, 我的灵喝尽了; 神的惊吓摆阵攻击我.

6:5 Does the wild ass bray over grass, or the ox bellow over its fodder?
野驴有草岂能叫唤? 牛有料岂能吼叫?

6:6 Can tasteless food be eaten without salt, or is there taste in the white of a marshmallow plant?
物淡而无盐岂可吃吗? 蛋青有甚么滋味呢?

6:7 I refused to touch them; they are like food that will make me ill.
看为可厌的食物, 我心不肯挨近.

6:8 “O that my request may come, and that God may grant my hope,
惟愿我得着所求的, 愿神赐我所切望的;

6:9 that God would decide that he would crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.
就是愿神把我压碎, 伸手将我剪除.

6:10 But it will still be my consolation, and I would recoil in unrelenting pain, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
我因没有违弃那圣者的言语, 就仍以此为安慰, 在不止息的痛苦中还可踊跃.

6:11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should hold out?
我有甚么气力使我等候? 我有甚么结局使我忍耐?

6:12 Or is my strength like the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?
我的气力岂是石头的气力? 我的肉身岂是铜的呢?

6:13 Indeed, my help is not in me, and any success is driven from me.
在我岂不是毫无帮助吗? 智慧岂不是从我心中赶出净尽吗?

6:14 “Loyal love should come for the afflicted from his friend, even if he forsakes the fear of Shaddai.
那将要灰心,离弃全能者,不敬畏神的人, 他的朋友当以慈爱待他.

6:15 My companions are treacherous like a torrent-bed; like a streambed of wadis they flow away,
我的弟兄诡诈, 好像溪水, 又像溪水流干的河道.

6:16 which are growing dark because of ice upon them, it will pile up snow.
这河因结冰发黑, 有雪藏在其中;

6:17 In time they dry up, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
天气渐暖就随时消化, 日头炎热便从原处干涸.

6:18 The paths of their way wind around; they go up into the wasteland, and they perish.
结伴的客旅离弃大道, 顺河偏行, 到荒野之地死亡.

6:19 The caravans of Tema looked; the traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.
提玛结伴的客旅瞻望; 示巴同伙的人等候.

6:20 They are disappointed, because they trusted; they came here and they are confounded.
他们因失了盼望就抱愧, 来到那里便蒙羞.

6:21 “For now you have become such; you see terrors, and you fear.
现在你们正是这样, 看见惊吓的事便惧怕.

6:22 Is it because I have said, ‘Give to me,’ or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
我岂说: 请你们供给我, 从你们的财物中送礼物给我?

6:23 or, ‘Save me from the foe’s hand,’ or, ‘Ransom me from the tyrants’ hand’?
岂说: 拯救我脱离敌人的手吗? 救赎我脱离强暴人的手吗?

6:24 Teach me, and I myself will be silent; and make me understand how I have gone astray.
请你们教导我, 我便不作声; 使我明白在何事上有错.

6:25 How painful are upright words! But what does your reproof reprove?
正直的言语力量何其大! 但你们责备是责备甚么呢?

6:26 Do you intend to reprove my words and consider the words of a desperate man as wind?
绝望人的讲论既然如风, 你们还想要驳正言语吗?

6:27 Even over the orphan you would cast the lot, and you would bargain over your friend.
你们想为孤儿拈阄, 以朋友当货物.

6:28 “Therefore be prepared, turn to me, and I surely will not lie to your face.
现在请你们看看我, 我决不当面说谎.

6:29 Please turn, let no injustice happen; indeed, turn, my righteousness is still intact.
请你们转意, 不要不公; 请再转意, 我的事有理.

6:30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Or can my palate not discern calamity?
我的舌上岂有不义吗? 我的口里岂不辨奸恶吗?

Job - Chapter 7

7:1 “Does not a human being have hard service on earth? And are not his days like the days of a laborer?
人在世上岂无争战吗? 他的日子不像雇工人的日子吗?

7:2 Like a slave he longs for the shadow, and like a laborer he waits for his wages.
像奴仆切慕黑影, 像雇工人盼望工价;

7:3 So I had to inherit months of worthlessness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
我也照样经过困苦的日月, 夜间的疲乏为我而定.

7:4 When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I rise?’ But the night is long, and I have my fill of tossing until dawn.
我躺卧的时候便说: 我何时起来, 黑夜就过去呢? 我尽是反来覆去, 直到天亮.

7:5 My body is clothed with maggots and clods of dust; my skin hardens, then it gives way again.
我的肉体以虫子和尘土为衣; 我的皮肤才收了口又重新破裂.

7:6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.
我的日子比梭更快, 都消耗在无指望之中.

7:7 Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will not return to see good.
求你想念, 我的生命不过是一口气; 我的眼睛必不再见福乐.

7:8 The eye of the one seeing me will not see me; your eyes are upon me, but I will be gone.
观看我的人, 他的眼必不再见我; 你的眼目要看我, 我却不在了.

7:9 A cloud vanishes, and it goes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will not come up.
云彩消散而过; 照样, 人下阴间也不再上来.

7:10 He does not return again to his house, and his place does not recognize him again.
他不再回自己的家; 故土也不再认识他.

7:11 “Even I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in my spirit’s anguish; I will complain in my inner self’s bitterness.
我不禁止我口; 我灵愁苦, 要发出言语; 我心苦恼, 要吐露哀情.

7:12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you set a guard over me?
我对神说: 我岂是洋海, 岂是大鱼, 你竟防守我呢?

7:13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,’
若说: 我的床必安慰我, 我的榻必解释我的苦情,

7:14 then you terrify me with dreams, and with visions you terrify me.
你就用梦惊骇我, 用异象恐吓我,

7:15 So my inner self will choose strangling— death more than my existence.
甚至我宁肯噎死, 宁肯死亡, 胜似留我这一身的骨头.

7:16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever; depart from me, for my days are a breath.
我厌弃性命, 不愿永活. 你任凭我吧, 因我的日子都是虚空.

7:17 “What is a human being that you make him great and that you fix your mind on him,
人算甚么, 你竟看他为大, 将他放在心上?

7:18 so that you visit him every morning, you test him every moment?
每早鉴察他, 时刻试验他?

7:19 How long will you not turn away from me? Or not leave me alone until I swallow my spit?
你到何时才转眼不看我, 才任凭我咽下唾沫呢?

7:20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, watcher of humanity? Why have you made me as a target for yourself, so that I have become a burden to myself?
鉴察人的主啊, 我若有罪, 于你何妨? 为何以我当你的箭靶子, 使我厌弃自己的性命?

7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my guilt? For now I shall lie in the dust, and you will seek me, but I will be no more.”
为何不赦免我的过犯, 除掉我的罪孽? 我现今要躺卧在尘土中; 你要殷勤地寻找我, 我却不在了.

Job - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
书亚人比勒达回答说:

8:2 “How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
这些话你要说到几时? 口中的言语如狂风要到几时呢?

8:3 Does God pervert justice, or Shaddai pervert righteousness?
神岂能偏离公平? 全能者岂能偏离公义?

8:4 If your children sinned against him, then he sent them into the power of their transgression.
或者你的儿女得罪了他; 他使他们受报应.

8:5 If you yourself would seek God, then you would plead to Shaddai for grace.
你若殷勤地寻求神, 向全能者恳求;

8:6 If you are pure and upright, indeed, now he will rouse himself for you, and he will restore your righteous abode.
你若清洁正直, 他必定为你起来, 使你公义的居所兴旺.

8:7 Though your beginning was small, your end will be very great.
你起初虽然微小, 终久必甚发达.

8:8 “Indeed, please inquire of former generations, and consider what their ancestors have found,
请你考问前代, 追念他们的列祖所查究的.

8:9 for we are of yesterday, and we do not know, for our days on earth are a shadow.
我们不过从昨日才有, 一无所知; 我们在世的日子好像影儿.

8:10 Will they themselves not teach you and tell you and utter words from their heart?
他们岂不指教你, 告诉你, 从心里发出言语来呢?

8:11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is not a marsh? Will reeds flourish without water?
蒲草没有泥岂能发长? 芦荻没有水岂能生发?

8:12 While it is in its flower and is not plucked, yet it withers before all grass.
尚青的时候, 还没有割下, 比百样的草先枯槁.

8:13 So are the paths of all who forget God; and the hope of the godless will perish,
凡忘记神的人, 景况也是这样; 不虔敬人的指望要灭没.

8:14 whose confidence is cut off and whose trust is a spider’s house.
他所仰赖的必折断; 他所倚靠的是蜘蛛网.

8:15 He will lean himself against his house, but it will not stand; he will take hold of it, but it will not endure.
他要倚靠房屋, 房屋却站立不住; 他要抓住房屋, 房屋却不能存留.

8:16 He is thriving before the sun, and his plant shoots spread over his garden.
他在日光之下发青, 蔓子爬满了园子;

8:17 His roots twine over a stone heap; he sees a house of stone.
他的根盘绕石堆, 扎入石地.

8:18 If he destroys him from his place, then it deceives him, saying, ‘I have never seen you.’
他若从本地被拔出, 那地就不认识他, 说: 我没有见过你.

8:19 Look, this is the joy of his way, and from dust others will spring up.
看哪, 这就是他道中之乐; 以后必另有人从地而生.

8:20 “Look, God will not reject the blameless, and he will not uphold the hand of evildoers.
神必不丢弃完全人, 也不扶助邪恶人.

8:21 Yet he will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with a shout of joy.
他还要以喜笑充满你的口, 以欢呼充满你的嘴.

8:22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
恨恶你的要披戴惭愧; 恶人的帐棚必归于无有.

Job - Chapter 9

9:1 Then Job answered and said,
约伯回答说:

9:2 “Truly I know that it is so, but how can a human being be just before God?
我真知道是这样; 但人在神面前怎能成为义呢?

若愿意与他争辩, 千中之一也不能回答.

9:4 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has resisted him and succeeded?

9:5 “He is the one who moves mountains, and they do not know how, who overturns them in his anger.
他发怒, 把山翻倒挪移, 山并不知觉.

9:6 He is the one who shakes the earth from its place, and its pillars tremble.
他使地震动, 离其本位, 地的柱子就摇撼.

9:7 He is the one who commands the sun, and it does not rise, and he seals up the stars.
他吩咐日头不出来, 就不出来, 又封闭众星.

9:8 He is the one who alone stretches out the heavens and who tramples on the waves of the sea.
他独自铺张苍天, 步行在海浪之上.

9:9 He is the one who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
他造北斗,参星,昴星, 并南方的密宫;

9:10 He is the one who does great things beyond understanding and marvelous things beyond number.
他行大事, 不可测度, 行奇事, 不可胜数.

9:11 “If he passes by me, I would not see him; and if he should move on, I would not recognize him.
他从我旁边经过, 我却不看见; 他在我面前行走, 我倒不知觉.

9:12 If he would snatch away, who could turn him? Who could say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
他夺取, 谁能阻挡? 谁敢问他: 你做甚么?

9:13 God will not turn back his anger; beneath him the helpers of Rahab bow.
神必不收回他的怒气; 扶助拉哈伯的, 屈身在他以下.

9:14 How much less can I myself answer him? How can I choose my words with him,
既是这样, 我怎敢回答他, 怎敢选择言语与他辩论呢?

9:15 whom I cannot answer, even though I am righteous? From my judge I must implore grace.
我虽有义, 也不回答他, 只要向那审判我的恳求.

9:16 If I summon him, and he should answer me, I do not believe that he will listen to my voice—
我若呼吁, 他应允我; 我仍不信他真听我的声音.

9:17 who crushes me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause.
他用暴风折断我, 无故地加增我的损伤.

9:18 He will not allow me to catch my breath; rather, he will fill me with bitterness.
我就是喘一口气, 他都不容, 倒使我满心苦恼.

9:19 If it is a matter of strength, look, he is mighty. But if it is a matter of justice, who can summon me?
若论力量, 他真有能力! 若论审判, 他说谁能将我传来呢?

9:20 Even though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me; even though I am blameless, yet it would pronounce me guilty.
我虽有义, 自己的口要定我为有罪; 我虽完全, 我口必显我为弯曲.

9:21 “I am blameless; I do not care about myself; I loathe my life.
我本完全, 不顾自己; 我厌恶我的性命.

9:22 It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the face of its judge— if it is not he, then who is it?
世界交在恶人手中; 蒙蔽世界审判官的脸, 若不是他, 是谁呢?

9:25 “And my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they do not see good.

9:28 I become afraid of all my sufferings; I know that you do not consider me innocent.
我因愁苦而惧怕, 知道你必不以我为无辜.

9:29 If I shall be declared guilty, why then should I labor in vain?
我必被你定为有罪, 我何必徒然劳苦呢?

9:30 If I wash myself with soap, and I cleanse my hands with lye,
我若用雪水洗身, 用碱洁净我的手,

9:31 then you plunge me into the slime pit, and my clothes abhor me.
你还要扔我在坑里, 我的衣服都憎恶我.

就追问我的罪孽, 寻察我的罪过吗?

10:7 because of your knowledge that I am not guilty, and there is no escaping from your hand?

10:15 If I am guilty, woe to me! But if I am righteous, I dare not lift my head; I am filled with shame, and just look at my misery!
我若行恶, 便有了祸; 我若为义, 也不敢抬头, 正是满心羞愧, 眼见我的苦情.

10:16 And if my head grows bold, you would hunt me as the lion in its prime; and you repeat your exploits against me.
我若昂首自得, 你就追捕我如狮子, 又在我身上显出奇能.

10:18 So why did you bring me forth from the womb? I should have passed away, and no eye should have seen me.
你为何使我出母胎呢? 不如我当时气绝, 无人得见我;

10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been brought from the womb to the grave.
这样, 就如没有我一般, 一出母胎就被送入坟墓.

10:20 Are not my days few? Let him leave me alone; let him turn from me, and let me rejoice a little.
我的日子不是甚少吗? 求你停手宽容我, 叫我在往而不返之先─就是往黑暗和死荫之地以先─可以稍得畅快.

a

10:22 to the land of darkness, like the darkness of a deep shadow and chaos, so that it shines forth like darkness.’ ”
那地甚是幽暗, 是死荫混沌之地; 那里的光好像幽暗.

你说: 我的道理纯全; 我在你眼前洁净.

11:5 But, O that God might speak, and that he would open his lips to you,

其量比地长, 比海宽.

11:10 “If he passes through and imprisons someone and summons the assembly, then who can hinder him?
他若经过, 将人拘禁, 招人受审, 谁能阻挡他呢?

11:11 For he knows those who are worthless; when he sees iniquity, he will not consider it.

树若被砍下, 还可指望发芽, 嫩枝生长不息;

14:8 though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the dust,
其根虽然衰老在地里, 干也死在土中,

14:9 at the scent of water it will bud, and it will put forth branches like a young plant.

14:11 As water disappears from a lake, and a river withers away and dries up,
海中的水绝尽, 江河消散干涸.

14:12 so a man lies down, and he does not arise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awaken, and they will not be roused out of their sleep.
人也是如此, 躺下不再起来, 等到天没有了, 仍不得复醒, 也不得从睡中唤醒.

14:13 “O that you would conceal me in Sheol, that you would hide me until your wrath is past, that you would appoint a set time for me and remember me.
惟愿你把我藏在阴间, 存于隐密处, 等你的忿怒过去; 愿你为我定了日期, 记念我.

14:16 For then you would count my steps, but you would not keep watch over my sin.
但如今你数点我的脚步, 岂不窥察我的罪过吗?

14:17 My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and you would cover over my guilt.
我的过犯被你封在囊中, 也缝严了我的罪孽.

14:18 “But a mountain falls; it crumbles away, and a rock moves away from its place.
山崩变为无有; 磐石挪开原处.

14:19 Water wears away stones; its torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so you destroy the hope of human beings.
水流消磨石头, 所流溢的洗去地上的尘土; 你也照样灭绝人的指望.

14:20 You overpower him forever, and he passes away; you change his countenance, then you send him away.
你攻击人常常得胜, 使他去世; 你改变他的容貌, 叫他往而不回.

14:21 His children may come to honor, but he does not know it; or they may become lowly, but he does not realize it.
他儿子得尊荣, 他也不知道, 降为卑, 他也不觉得.

14:22 He feels only the pain of his own body, and his inner self mourns for him.”
但知身上疼痛, 心中悲哀.

15:7 “Were you born the firstborn of the human race? And were you brought forth before the hills?
你岂是头一个被生的人吗? 你受造在诸山之先吗?

15:8 Have you listened in God’s confidential discussion? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
你曾听见神的密旨吗? 你还将智慧独自得尽吗?

15:9 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
你知道甚么是我们不知道的呢? 你明白甚么是我们不明白的呢?

15:10 Both the gray-haired and the old are among us— those older than your father.
我们这里有白发的和年纪老迈的, 比你父亲还老.

15:12 Why does your heart carry you away? And why do your eyes flash,
你的心为何将你逼去? 你的眼为何冒出火星,

15:13 that you turn your spirit against God, and you let such words go out of your mouth?
使你的灵反对神, 也任你的口发这言语?

15:14 “What is a human being, that he can be clean, or that one born of a woman can be righteous?
人是甚么, 竟算为洁净呢? 妇人所生的是甚么, 竟算为义呢?

15:15 Look, he does not trust his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes.
神不信靠他的众圣者; 在他眼前, 天也不洁净,

15:16 How much less he who is abominable and corrupt, a man drinking wickedness like water.
何况那污秽可憎,喝罪孽如水的世人呢!

15:17 “I will show you, listen to me; and what I have seen, I will tell—
我指示你, 你要听; 我要述说所看见的,

15:18 what wise men have told, and they have not hidden that which is from their ancestors,
就是智慧人从列祖所受, 传说而不隐瞒的.

15:19 to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed through their midst.

15:20 “All of the wicked one’s days he is writhing, even through the number of years that are laid up for the tyrant.

15:23 “He is wandering for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that a day of darkness is ready at hand.

急难困苦叫他害怕, 而且胜了他, 好像君王预备上阵一样.

15:25 Because he stretched out his hand against God, and he was arrogant to Shaddai;
他伸手攻击神, 以骄傲攻击全能者,

15:26 he stubbornly runs against him with his thick-bossed shield.
挺著颈项, 用盾牌的厚凸面向全能者直闯;

15:27 “Because he has covered his face with his fat and has gathered fat upon his loins,
是因他的脸蒙上脂油, 腰积成肥肉.

15:28 he will dwell in desolate cities, in houses that they should not inhabit, which are destined for rubble.

他必像葡萄树的葡萄, 未熟而落; 又像橄榄树的花, 一开而谢.

15:34 for the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of those who accept bribes.
原来不敬虔之辈必无生育; 受贿赂之人的帐棚必被火烧.

15:35 They conceive trouble and bring forth mischief, and their womb prepares deceit.”
他们所怀的是毒害, 所生的是罪孽; 心里所预备的是诡诈.

你当领受他口中的教训, 将他的言语存在心里.

22:23 If you return to Shaddai, you will be restored; if you remove wickedness from your tent,
你若归向全能者, 从你帐棚中远除不义, 就必得建立.

22:24 and if you put gold ore in the dust, and the gold of Ophir in the rock of wadis,
要将你的珍宝丢在尘土里, 将俄斐的黄金丢在溪河石头之间;

22:25 then Shaddai will be your gold ore and your precious silver.
全能者就必为你的珍宝, 作你的宝银.

22:26 Indeed, then you will delight yourself in Shaddai, and you will expect that God will be good to you.

22:28 And you will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.
你定意要做何事, 必然给你成就; 亮光也必照耀你的路.

22:29 When they are humiliated, you say, ‘It is pride,’ for he saves the humble.
人使你降卑, 你仍可说: 必得高升; 谦卑的人, 神必然拯救.

22:30 He will deliver the guilty, and he will escape because of the cleanness of your hands.”
人非无辜, 神且要搭救他; 他因你手中清洁, 必蒙拯救.

Job - Chapter 23

23:1 Then Job answered and said,
约伯回答说:

23:2 “Even today my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy in addition to my groaning.
如今我的哀告还算为悖逆; 我的责罚比我的唉哼还重.

23:3 O that I knew and that I might find him; O that I might come to his dwelling.
惟愿我能知道在哪里可以寻见神, 能到他的台前,

23:4 I would lay my case before him, and I would fill my mouth with arguments.
我就在他面前将我的案件陈明, 满口辩白.

23:5 I want to know the words with which he would answer me, and I want to understand what he would say to me.
我必知道他回答我的言语, 明白他向我所说的话.

23:6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his strength? No, but he himself would give heed to me.
他岂用大能与我争辩吗? 必不这样! 他必理会我.

23:7 There an upright person could reason with him, and I would be acquitted forever by my judge.
在他那里正直人可以与他辩论; 这样, 我必永远脱离那审判我的.

23:8 “When I go forward, he is not there, or backward, I cannot see him.
只是, 我往前行, 他不在那里, 往后退, 也不能见他.

23:9 When he works on the left, I cannot perceive him; he turns to the right, but I cannot see him.
他在左边行事, 我却不能看见, 在右边隐藏, 我也不能见他.

23:10 But he knows the way that I take; he tests me—I shall come out like gold.
然而他知道我所行的路; 他试炼我之后, 我必如精金.

23:11 My foot has held on to his steps; I have kept his way, and I have not turned aside.
我脚追随他的步履; 我谨守他的道, 并不偏离.

23:12 From the commandment of his lips, indeed I have not departed; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily food.
他嘴唇的命令, 我未曾背弃; 我看重他口中的言语, 过于我需用的饮食.

23:13 “But he is alone, and who can dissuade him? And whatever he desires, indeed, he does it.
只是他心志已定, 谁能使他转意呢? 他心里所愿的, 就行出来.

23:14 For he will carry out what he appoints for me, and many things like these are with him.
他向我所定的, 就必做成; 这类的事他还有许多.

23:15 Therefore, I am horrified because of his presence; when I consider, I tremble because of him.
所以我在他面前惊惶; 我思念这事便惧怕他.

23:16 Indeed, God has made my heart faint, and Shaddai has terrified me.
神使我丧胆; 全能者使我惊惶.

23:17 Indeed, I have not been silenced because of darkness, and because of me he conceals thick darkness.
我的恐惧不是因为黑暗, 也不是因为幽暗蒙蔽我的脸.

Job - Chapter 24

24:1 “Why are not times kept by Shaddai, and why do not those who know him see his days?
全能者既定期罚恶, 为何不使认识他的人看见那日子呢?

24:2 They remove border stones; they seize flocks, and they pasture them.
有人挪移地界, 抢夺群畜而牧养.

24:3 They drive away the donkey of orphans; they take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
他们拉去孤儿的驴, 强取寡妇的牛为当头.

24:4 They thrust the poor off the road; the needy of the earth hide themselves together.
他们使穷人离开正道; 世上的贫民尽都隐藏.

24:5 “Look, like wild donkeys in the desert they go out to their labor as searchers for the prey; the wilderness is their food for the young.
这些贫穷人如同野驴出到旷野, 殷勤寻找食物; 他们靠着野地给儿女糊口,

24:6 They reap their fodder in the field, and they glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
收割别人田间的禾稼, 摘取恶人余剩的葡萄,

24:7 They spend the night naked, without clothing, and they have no garment in the cold.
终夜赤身无衣, 天气寒冷毫无遮盖,

24:8 They are wet from the rainstorm of the mountains, and they cling to the rock without refuge.
在山上被大雨淋湿, 因没有避身之处就挨近磐石.

24:9 “They snatch the orphan from the breast, and they take a pledge against the needy.
又有人从母怀中抢夺孤儿, 强取穷人的衣服为当头,

24:10 They go about naked, without clothing, and hungry, they carry the sheaves.
使人赤身无衣, 到处流行, 且因饥饿扛抬禾捆,

24:11 Between their terraces they press out oil; they tread the presses, but they are thirsty.
在那些人的围墙内造油, 醡酒, 自己还口渴.

24:12 From the city people groan, and the throat of the wounded cries for help; yet God does not regard it as unseemly.
在多民的城内有人唉哼, 受伤的人哀号; 神却不理会那恶人的愚妄.

24:13 “Those are among the ones rebelling against the light; they do not recognize his ways, and they do not stay in his paths.
又有人背弃光明, 不认识光明的道, 不住在光明的路上.

24:14 At dusk the murderer rises; he kills the needy and the poor, and in the night he is like a thief.
杀人的黎明起来, 杀害困苦穷乏人, 夜间又作盗贼.

24:15 And the eye of the adulterer waits for dusk, saying, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he places a covering on his face.
奸夫等候黄昏, 说: 必无眼能见我, 就把脸蒙蔽.

24:16 He digs through houses in the darkness; by day they shut themselves in— they do not know the light
盗贼黑夜挖窟窿; 白日躲藏, 并不认识光明.

24:17 because morning likewise is to them deep darkness; indeed, they know about the terrors of deep darkness.
他们看早晨如幽暗, 因为他们晓得幽暗的惊骇.

24:18 “He himself is swift on the water’s surface; their portion is cursed in the land. No one turns toward the path of their vineyards.
这些恶人犹如浮萍快快飘去. 他们所得的分在世上被咒诅; 他们不得再走葡萄园的路.

24:19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters, like Sheol snatches away those who have sinned.
干旱炎热消没雪水; 阴间也如此消没犯罪之辈.

24:20 The womb forgets him. The maggot feasts on him until he is no longer remembered, and wickedness is broken like a tree.
怀他的母(原文是胎)要忘记他; 虫子要吃他, 觉得甘甜; 他不再被人记念. 不义的人必如树折断.

24:21 He feeds on the barren, who does not have a child, and does no good to the widow.
他恶待(或译: 他吞灭)不怀孕不生养的妇人, 不善待寡妇.

24:22 Yet he carries off the tyrants by his strength; if he rises up, then he cannot be certain of life.
然而神用能力保全有势力的人; 那性命难保的人仍然兴起.

24:23 He gives security to him, and he is supported, but his eyes are upon their ways.
神使他们安稳, 他们就有所倚靠; 神的眼目也看顾他们的道路.

24:24 They are exalted a little while, then they are gone. And they are brought low; they are cut off like all others, and like the heads of grain they wither away.
他们被高举, 不过片时就没有了; 他们降为卑, 被除灭, 与众人一样, 又如谷穗被割.

24:25 “And if it is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my word to nothing?”
若不是这样, 谁能证实我是说谎的, 将我的言语驳为虚空呢?

Job - Chapter 25

25:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
书亚人比勒达回答说:

25:2 “Domination and dread are with him who makes peace in his high heavens.
神有治理之权, 有威严可畏; 他在高处施行和平.

25:3 Is there a number to his troops? And upon whom does his light not rise?
他的诸军岂能数算? 他的光亮一发, 谁不蒙照呢?

25:4 “Indeed, how can a human being be righteous before God? And how will he who is born of a woman be pure?
这样在神面前, 人怎能称义? 妇人所生的怎能洁净?

25:5 Look, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in his sight.
在神眼前, 月亮也无光亮, 星宿也不清洁.

25:6 How much less for a human being who is a maggot, and a human who is a worm?”
何况如虫的人, 如蛆的世人呢!

Job - Chapter 26

26:1 Then Job answered and said,
约伯回答说:

26:2 “How you have helped one who has no power! How you have assisted the arm that has no strength!
无能的人蒙你何等的帮助! 膀臂无力的人蒙你何等的拯救!

26:3 How you have advised one who has no wisdom! And what sound wisdom you have made known in abundance!
无智慧的人蒙你何等的指教! 你向他多显大知识!

26:4 With whose help have you uttered words, and whose breath has come forth from you?
你向谁发出言语来? 谁的灵从你而出?

26:5 “The spirits of the dead tremble below the waters and their inhabitants.
在大水和水族以下的阴魂战兢.

26:6 Sheol is naked before him, and there is no covering for Abaddon.
在神面前, 阴间显露; 灭亡也不得遮掩.

26:7 He stretches out the north over emptiness; he hangs the earth over nothing.
神将北极铺在空中, 将大地悬在虚空;

26:8 He ties up the water in its clouds, and the cloud is not torn open beneath it.
将水包在密云中, 云却不破裂;

26:9 He covers the face of the full moon; he spreads his cloud over it.
遮蔽他的宝座, 将云铺在其上;

26:10 He has described a circle on the face of the water between light and darkness.
在水面的周围划出界限, 直到光明黑暗的交界.

26:11 “The pillars of heaven tremble, and they are astounded at his rebuke.
天的柱子因他的斥责震动惊奇.

26:12 By his power he stilled the sea, and by his understanding he struck down Rahab.
他以能力搅动(或译: 平静)大海; 他藉知识打伤拉哈伯,

26:13 By his breath the heavens were made clear; his hand pierced the fleeing snake.
藉他的灵使天有妆饰; 他的手刺杀快蛇.

26:14 Look, these are the outer fringes of his ways, and how faint is the word that we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?”
看哪, 这不过是神工作的些微; 我们所听于他的是何等细微的声音! 他大能的雷声谁能明透呢?

Job - Chapter 27

27:1 Then Job again took up his discourse and said,
约伯接着说:

27:2 “As God lives, he has removed my justice, and Shaddai has made my inner self bitter.
神夺去我的理, 全能者使我心中愁苦. 我指著永生的神起誓:

27:3 For as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nose,
我的生命尚在我里面; 神所赐呼吸之气仍在我的鼻孔内.

27:4 my lips surely will not speak falseness, and my tongue surely will not utter deceit.
我的嘴决不说非义之言; 我的舌也不说诡诈之语.

27:5 Far be it from me that I would say that you are right; until I pass away, I will not put away from me my blamelessness.
我断不以你们为是; 我至死必不以自己为不正!

27:6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and I will not let it go; my heart will not blame any of my days.
我持定我的义, 必不放松; 在世的日子, 我心必不责备我.

27:7 “Let my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unrighteous,
愿我的仇敌如恶人一样; 愿那起来攻击我的, 如不义之人一般.

27:8 for what is the hope of the godless when he cuts them off, when God takes away his life?
不敬虔的人虽然得利, 神夺取其命的时候还有甚么指望呢?

27:9 Will God hear his cry of distress when distress comes upon him?
患难临到他, 神岂能听他的呼求?

27:10 Or, in Shaddai will he find delight? Will he call upon God at all times?
他岂以全能者为乐, 随时求告神呢?

27:11 “I will teach you about God’s hand; I will not conceal that which is with Shaddai.
神的作为, 我要指教你们; 全能者所行的, 我也不隐瞒.

27:12 Look, you all have seen, and why in the world have you become altogether vain?
你们自己也都见过, 为何全然变为虚妄呢?

27:13 “This is the portion of the wicked human being with God, and they receive from Shaddai the inheritance of the ruthless.
神为恶人所定的分, 强暴人从全能者所得的报(原文是产业)乃是这样:

27:14 If their children multiply, it is for the sword, and his offspring do not have enough to eat.
倘或他的儿女增多, 还是被刀所杀; 他的子孙必不得饱食.

27:15 Their survivors are buried through the plague, and their widows do not weep.
他所遗留的人必死而埋葬; 他的寡妇也不哀哭.

27:16 If he heaps up silver like the dust and fashions clothing like the clay,
他虽积蓄银子如尘沙, 预备衣服如泥土;

27:17 he makes it ready, and the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.
他只管预备, 义人却要穿上; 他的银子, 无辜的人要分取.

27:18 “He builds his house like the moth, and like a booth that a watchman has made.
他建造房屋如虫做窝, 又如守望者所搭的棚.

27:19 He goes to bed with wealth, but he will do so no more; he opens his eyes, and it is gone.
他虽富足躺卧, 却不得收殓, 转眼之间就不在了.

27:20 Terrors overtake him like the water; a storm wind carries him off in the night.
惊恐如波涛将他追上; 暴风在夜间将他刮去.

27:21 The east wind lifts him up, and he is gone, and it sweeps him away from his place.
东风把他飘去, 又刮他离开本处.

27:22 And it hurls at him, and it has no compassion; he will quickly flee from its power.
神要向他射箭, 并不留情; 他恨不得逃脱神的手.

27:23 It claps its hands over him, and it hisses at him from its place.
人要向他拍掌, 并要发叱声, 使他离开本处.

Job - Chapter 28

28:1 “Indeed, there is a mine for silver and a place for gold to be refined.
银子有矿; 炼金有方.

28:2 Iron is taken from dust, and he pours out copper from ore.

28:3 He puts an end to darkness, and he searches out the farthest limits for the ore in gloom and deep shadow.
人为黑暗定界限, 查究幽暗阴翳的石头, 直到极处,

28:4 He breaks open a mine shaft away from where people dwell; those who are forgotten by travelers, they dangle, they sway far away from human beings.
在无人居住之处刨开矿穴, 过路的人也想不到他们; 又与人远离, 悬在空中摇来摇去.

28:5 As for the earth, from it comes food, but underneath it, it is turned up as by fire.
至于地, 能出粮食, 地内好像被火翻起来.

28:6 Its stones are the place of sapphire, and the earthen dirt has gold.
地中的石头有蓝宝石, 并有金沙.

28:7 “It is a path a bird of prey does not know and the black kite’s eye has not seen.

28:8 Proud wild animals have not trodden it; the lion in its prime has not prowled over it.
狂傲的野兽未曾行过; 猛烈的狮子也未曾经过.

28:9 He puts his hand on the hard rock; he overturns mountains by the roots.
人伸手凿开坚石, 倾倒山根,

28:10 He cuts out tunnels in the rocks, and his eye sees every treasure.
在磐石中凿出水道, 亲眼看见各样宝物.

28:11 He dams up rivers from their sources, and he brings secret things to the light.
他封闭水不得滴流, 使隐藏的物显露出来.

28:12 “But from where will wisdom be found? And where in the world is the place of understanding?
然而, 智慧有何处可寻? 聪明之处在哪里呢?

28:13 A human being does not know its proper value, and it is not found in the land of the living.
智慧的价值无人能知, 在活人之地也无处可寻.

28:14 The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’ and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
深渊说: 不在我内; 沧海说: 不在我中.

28:15 “Refined gold cannot be gotten in its place, and silver cannot be weighed out as its price.
智慧非用黄金可得, 也不能平白银为它的价值.

28:16 It cannot be bought for the gold of Ophir, for precious onyx or sapphire.
俄斐金和贵重的红玛瑙, 并蓝宝石, 不足与较量;

28:17 Gold and glass cannot be compared with it, and its substitution cannot be an ornament of refined gold.
黄金和玻璃不足与比较; 精金的器皿不足与兑换.

28:18 Black corals and crystal will not be mentioned, and wisdom’s price is more than red corals.
珊瑚,水晶都不足论; 智慧的价值胜过珍珠(或译: 红宝石).

28:19 The topaz of Cush cannot be compared with it; it cannot be bought for pure gold.
古实的红璧玺不足与比较; 精金也不足与较量.

28:20 Indeed, from where does wisdom come? And where in the world is the place of understanding?
智慧从何处来呢? 聪明之处在哪里呢?

28:21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and it is concealed from the birds of the heaven.
是向一切有生命的眼目隐藏, 向空中的飞鸟掩蔽.

28:22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘We heard its rumor with our ears.’
灭没和死亡说: 我们风闻其名.

28:23 “God understands its way, and he knows its place,
神明白智慧的道路, 晓得智慧的所在.

28:24 for he himself looks to the end of the earth; he sees under all the heaven.
因他鉴察直到地极, 遍观普天之下,

28:25 When he gave weight to the wind and he apportioned the waters by measure,
要为风定轻重, 又度量诸水;

28:26 when he made a rule for the rain and a way for the thunder’s lightning bolt,
他为雨露定命令, 为雷电定道路.

28:27 then he saw it and talked about it; he established it, and moreover, he explored it.
那时他看见智慧, 而且述说; 他坚定, 并且查究.

28:28 And to the human beings he said, ‘Look, the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
他对人说: 敬畏主就是智慧; 远离恶便是聪明.

Job - Chapter 29

29:1 Then Job again took up his discourse and said,
约伯又接着说:

29:2 “O that I were as in the months before, as in the days when God watched over me,
惟愿我的景况如从前的月份, 如神保守我的日子.

29:3 when his shining lamp was over my head— by his light I walked through darkness—
那时他的灯照在我头上; 我藉他的光行过黑暗.

29:4 as when I was in the days of my prime, when God’s confiding was over my house,
我愿如壮年的时候: 那时我在帐棚中, 神待我有密友之情;

29:5 when Shaddaiwas still with me, my children were all around me,
全能者仍与我同在; 我的儿女都环绕我.

29:6 when my paths were washed in sour milk, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me.
奶多可洗我的脚; 磐石为我出油成河.

29:7 “At my going out the gate to the city, I secured my seat in the square.
我出到城门, 在街上设立座位;

29:8 Young men saw me and stepped aside, and the aged rose up and stood.
少年人见我而回避, 老年人也起身站立;

王子都停止说话, 用手摀口;

29:10 The voices of nobles were hushed, and their tongue stuck to their palate.
首领静默无声, 舌头贴住上膛.

29:11 “When the ear heard and commended me, and the eye saw and testified in support of me

29:12 because I saved the needy who cried for help, and I saved the orphan for whom there was no helper.
因我拯救哀求的困苦人和无人帮助的孤儿.

29:13 The blessing of the wretched came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
将要灭亡的为我祝福; 我也使寡妇心中欢乐.

29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a headband.
我以公义为衣服, 以公平为外袍和冠冕.

29:15 “I was eyes to the blind, and I was feet to the lame.
我为瞎子的眼, 瘸子的脚.

29:16 I was a father to the poor, and I investigated the stranger’s legal dispute.
我为穷乏人的父; 素不认识的人, 我查明他的案件.

29:17 And I broke the evil one’s jaw bones, and I made his prey drop from his teeth.
我打破不义之人的牙床, 从他牙齿中夺了所抢的.

29:18 “And I thought, ‘I will pass away in my nest, and like the phoenix I shall multiply my days.
我便说: 我必死在家中(原文是窝中), 必增添我的日子, 多如尘沙.

29:19 My roots were open to water, and dew spent the night on my branches;
我的根长到水边; 露水终夜霑在我的枝上.

29:20 My glory was new with me, and I was revitalized regularly.’
我的荣耀在身上增新; 我的弓在手中日强.

29:21 “They listened to me and waited, and they kept silent for my counsel.

30:2 Moreover, what use to me is the strength of their hands? With them, vigor is destroyed.

30:12 On the right hand the brood rises up; they put me to flight, and they build up their siege ramps against me.

30:14 As through a wide breach they come; amid a crash they rush on.

30:21 You have turned cruel to me; you persecute me with your hand’s might.
你向我变心, 待我残忍, 又用大能追逼我,

30:22 You lift me up to the wind—you make me ride it, and you toss me about in the storm.
把我提在风中, 使我驾风而行, 又使我消灭在烈风中.

30:23 Indeed, I know that you will bring me to death and to the house of assembly for all the living.
我知道要使我临到死地, 到那为众生所定的阴宅.

30:24 “Surely someone must not send a hand against the needy when, in his misfortune, there is a cry of help for them.
然而, 人仆倒岂不伸手? 遇灾难岂不求救呢?

30:25 Have I not wept for the unfortunate, and grieved myself over the poor?
人遭难, 我岂不为他哭泣呢? 人穷乏, 我岂不为他忧愁呢?

30:26 Indeed, I hoped for good, but evil came, and I waited for light, but darkness came.
我仰望得好处, 灾祸就到了; 我等待光明, 黑暗便来了.

30:27 My bowels are in turmoil, and they are not still; days of misery come to confront me.
我心里烦扰不安, 困苦的日子临到我身.

30:28 I go about in mourning garb, but not in sunlight; I stand up in the assembly, and I cry for help.
我没有日光就哀哭行去(或译: 我面发黑并非因日晒); 我在会中站着求救.

30:29 I am a companion for the jackals and a companion for ostriches.
我与野狗为弟兄, 与鸵鸟为同伴.

30:30 My skin turns black on me, and my bones burn with heat.
我的皮肤黑而脱落; 我的骨头因热烧焦.

30:31 So my lyre came to be used for mourning, and my flute for the voice of those who weep.
所以, 我的琴音变为悲音; 我的箫声变为哭声.

Job - Chapter 31

31:1 “I made a covenant with my eyes, so how could I look closely upon a virgin?
我与眼睛立约, 怎能恋恋瞻望处女呢?

31:2 And what is the portion of God from above or the heritage of Shaddai from on high?
从至上的神所得之分, 从至高全能者所得之业是甚么呢?

31:3 Is not disaster for the evil one and ruin for the workers of mischief?
岂不是祸患临到不义的, 灾害临到作孽的呢?

31:4 Does he not see my ways and count all my steps?
神岂不是察看我的道路, 数点我的脚步呢?

31:5 “If I have walked with falseness, and my foot has hastened to deceit,
我若与虚谎同行, 脚若追随诡诈;

31:6 let him weigh me in the balance of justice, and let God know my blamelessness.
(我若被公道的天平称度, 使神可以知道我的纯正; )

31:7 If my steps have turned aside from the way, and my heart has walked after my eyes, and my hand has clung to a spot,
我的脚步若偏离正路, 我的心若随著我的眼目, 若有玷污粘在我手上;

31:8 let me sow, and let another eat, and let my crops be rooted out.
就愿我所种的有别人吃, 我田所产的被拔出来.

31:9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and at my neighbor’s doorway I have lain in wait,
我若受迷惑, 向妇人起淫念, 在邻舍的门外蹲伏,

31:10 let my wife grind for another, and let other men kneel over her,
就愿我的妻子给别人推磨, 别人也与她同室.

31:11 for that is a shameful act, and that is a criminal offense.
因为这是大罪, 是审判官当罚的罪孽.

31:12 Indeed, that is a fire that will consume up to Abaddon, and it would uproot all my crop.
这本是火焚烧, 直到毁灭, 必拔除我所有的家产.

31:13 “If I have rejected my male or female slave’s case when their complaint was against me,
我的仆婢与我争辩的时候, 我若藐视不听他们的情节;

31:14 then what shall I do when God rises up? And when he enquires, how shall I answer him?
神兴起, 我怎样行呢? 他察问, 我怎样回答呢?

31:15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
造我在腹中的, 不也是造他吗? 将他与我抟在腹中的岂不是一位吗?

31:16 “If I have withheld the desire of the poor from them, or I have caused the widow’s eyes to fail,
我若不容贫寒人得其所愿, 或叫寡妇眼中失望,

31:17 or I have eaten my morsel alone, and the orphan has not eaten from it
或独自吃我一点食物, 孤儿没有与我同吃;

31:18 (for from my childhood he grew up with me like a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided her),
(从幼年时孤儿与我同长, 好像父子一样; 我从出母腹就扶助(原文是引领)寡妇. )

31:19 if I have seen the one who perishes because of no clothing or that there is no covering for the poor,
我若见人因无衣死亡, 或见穷乏人身无遮盖;

31:20 if his loins have not blessed me, or by means of my sheep’s fleece he has warmed himself,
我若不使他因我羊的毛得暖, 为我祝福;

31:21 if I have raised my hand against an orphan because I saw my supporters at the gate,
我若在城门口见有帮助我的, 举手攻击孤儿;

31:22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.
情愿我的肩头从缺盆骨脱落, 我的膀臂从羊矢骨折断.

31:23 Indeed, the disaster from God was a dread for me, and I was powerless because of his majesty.
因神降的灾祸使我恐惧; 因他的威严, 我不能妄为.

31:24 “If I have made gold my trust, or I have called fine gold my security,
我若以黄金为指望, 对精金说: 你是我的倚靠;

31:25 if I have rejoiced because my wealth was great or because my hand found a fortune,
我若因财物丰裕, 因我手多得资财而欢喜;

31:26 if I looked at the sun when it shone or at the moon moving in splendor,
我若见太阳发光, 明月行在空中,

31:27 and I was secretly enticed, and my hand threw them a kiss,
心就暗暗被引诱, 口便亲手;

31:28 this also is an iniquity to be judged, for I have deceived God above.
这也是审判官当罚的罪孽, 又是我背弃在上的神.

31:29 “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of the one who hated me or have exulted when evil overtook him—
我若见恨我的遭报就欢喜, 见他遭灾便高兴;

31:30 no, I have not allowed my mouth to sin, to ask his life with a curse.
(我没有容口犯罪, 咒诅他的生命; )

31:31 Have the people of my tent not said, ‘O that someone had not been satisfied with his meat’?
若我帐棚的人未尝说, 谁不以主人的食物吃饱呢?

31:32 An alien has not lodged in the street; I have opened my door to the traveler.
(从来我没有容客旅在街上住宿, 却开门迎接行路的人; )

31:33 Have I concealed my transgressions as other human beings to hide my iniquity in my bosom
我若像亚当(或译: 别人)遮掩我的过犯, 将罪孽藏在怀中;

31:34 because I dreaded the great multitude, and the contempt of clans terrified me, so that I kept quiet, I did not go out of the doorway?
因惧怕大众, 又因宗族藐视我使我惊恐, 以致闭口无言, 杜门不出;

31:35 O that I had someone hearing me! Here is my signature; let Shaddai answer me! As for the written communication that my adversary has written,
惟愿有一位肯听我! (看哪, 在这里有我所划的押, 愿全能者回答我! )

31:36 I would surely carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me like a crown.
愿那敌我者所写的状词在我这里! 我必带在肩上, 又绑在头上为冠冕.

31:37 I would give him an account of my steps; I would approach him like a noble.
我必向他述说我脚步的数目, 必如君王进到他面前.

31:38 If my land has cried out against me, and its furrows have wept together,
我若夺取田地, 这地向我喊冤, 犁沟一同哭泣;

31:39 if I have eaten its yield without payment, or I have caused the breath of its owners to die,
我若吃地的出产不给价值, 或叫原主丧命;

31:40 let thorns grow in place of wheat and noxious weeds in place of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
愿这地长蒺藜代替麦子, 长恶草代替大麦. 约伯的话说完了.

Job - Chapter 32

32:1 Then these three men ceased from answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
于是这三个人, 因约伯自以为义就不再回答他.

32:2 So Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite, from the clan of Ram, became angry. He became angry at Job because he justified himself rather than God,
那时有布西人兰族巴拉迦的儿子以利户向约伯发怒; 因约伯自以为义, 不以神为义.

32:3 and he became angry at his three friends because they had not found an answer, and they had declared Job guilty.
他又向约伯的三个朋友发怒; 因为他们想不出回答的话来, 仍以约伯为有罪.

32:4 Thus Elihu had waited for Job to speak because they were older than he.
以利户要与约伯说话, 就等候他们, 因为他们比自己年老.

32:5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he became angry.
以利户见这三个人口中无话回答, 就怒气发作.

32:6 Then Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up and said, “I am young, but you are old; therefore I feared and became afraid of explaining my knowledge to you.
布西人巴拉迦的儿子以利户回答说: 我年轻, 你们老迈; 因此我退让, 不敢向你们陈说我的意见.

32:7 I thought, ‘Let days speak, and let many years teach wisdom.’
我说, 年老的当先说话; 寿高的当以智慧教训人.

32:8 “Truly, it is a spirit in a human being, and the breath of Shaddai teaches them.
但在人里面有灵; 全能者的气使人有聪明.

32:9 It is not the aged who are wise, or it is not the elders who understand justice.
尊贵的不都有智慧; 寿高的不都能明白公平.

32:10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; let me also declare my knowledge myself.’
因此我说: 你们要听我言; 我也要陈说我的意见.

32:11 “Look, I waited for your words; I listened for your insight, until you searched out what to say.
你们查究所要说的话; 那时我等候你们的话, 侧耳听你们的辩论,

32:12 And I directed my attention to you; and, look, there is no one for Job who refuted, answering his words among you.
留心听你们; 谁知你们中间无一人折服约伯, 驳倒他的话.

32:13 So do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God refute him, not a man.’
你们切不可说: 我们寻得智慧; 神能胜他, 人却不能.

32:14 But he did not direct his words to me, and I will not answer him with your words.
约伯没有向我争辩; 我也不用你们的话回答他.

32:15 “They are dismayed; they no longer answer; they have nothing to say.
他们惊奇不再回答, 一言不发.

32:16 And I have waited because they do not speak, because they stand there and no longer answer.
我岂因他们不说话, 站住不再回答, 仍旧等候呢?

32:17 I myself will answer my share also; I myself will declare my knowledge also,
我也要回答我的一分话, 陈说我的意见.

32:18 for I am full of words; the spirit within me urges me.
因为我的言语满怀; 我里面的灵激动我.

32:19 “Look, my internal organs are like unopened wine, like new wineskins it is ready to burst open.
我的胸怀如盛酒之囊没有出气之缝, 又如新皮袋快要破裂.

32:20 Let me speak that I may find relief; let me open my lips, and let me answer.
我要说话, 使我舒畅; 我要开口回答.

32:21 Please let me not show partiality to anyone, and let me not show flattery to human beings,
我必不看人的情面, 也不奉承人.

32:22 for I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon put an end to me.
我不晓得奉承; 若奉承, 造我的主必快快除灭我.

Job - Chapter 33

33:1 “But now, please hear my speeches, Job, and hear all my words.
约伯啊, 请听我的话, 留心听我一切的言语.

33:2 Please look, I open my mouth; my tongue in my mouth speaks.
我现在开口, 用舌发言.

33:3 My words declare my heart’s uprightness, and my lips sincerely speak what my lips know.
我的言语要发明心中所存的正直; 我所知道的, 我嘴唇要诚实地说出.

33:4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of Shaddai gives life to me.
神的灵造我; 全能者的气使我得生.

33:5 “If you are able, answer me. Present your argument before me; take your stand.
你若回答我, 就站起来, 在我面前陈明.

33:6 Look, before God I am like you; I myself was also formed from clay.
我在神面前与你一样, 也是用土造成.

33:7 Look, dread of me should not terrify you, and my hand will not be heavy upon you.
我不用威严惊吓你, 也不用势力重压你.

33:8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of your words:
你所说的, 我听见了, 也听见你的言语, 说:

33:9 ‘I am clean, without transgression; I am pure, and there is no guilt in me.
我是清洁无过的, 我是无辜的; 在我里面也没有罪孽.

33:10 Look, he finds fault against me; he reckons me as his enemy;
神找机会攻击我, 以我为仇敌,

33:11 he puts my feet in the block; he watches all my paths.’
把我的脚上了木狗, 窥察我一切的道路.

33:12 “Look, in this you are not right—I will answer you: Indeed, God is greater than a human being.
我要回答你说: 你这话无理, 因神比世人更大.

33:13 Why do you contend against him, that he will not answer all a person’s words?
你为何与他争论呢? 因他的事都不对人解说?

33:14 Indeed, God speaks in one way, even in two, yet someone does not perceive it.
神说一次,两次, 世人却不理会.

33:15 “In a dream, a vision of the night, when a deep sleep falls on men slumbering on their bed,
人躺在床上沉睡的时候, 神就用梦和夜间的异象,

33:16 then he opens the ear of men, and he frightens them with a warning
开通他们的耳朵, 将当受的教训印在他们心上,

33:17 to turn human beings aside from their deeds, and he keeps man from pride.
好叫人不从自己的谋算, 不行骄傲的事(原文是将骄傲向人隐藏),

33:18 He spares his life from the pit and his life from passing over the river of death.
拦阻人不陷于坑里, 不死在刀下.

33:19 “And he is reproved with pain on his bed, even with the strife of his bones continually,
人在床上被惩治, 骨头中不住地疼痛,

33:20 so that his life loathes bread, and his inner self loathes appetizing food.
以致他的口厌弃食物, 心厌恶美味.

33:21 His flesh is wasted away from sight, and his bones, which are invisible, are bared.
他的肉消瘦, 不得再见; 先前不见的骨头都凸出来.

33:22 And he draws near to the pit and his life to the killers.
他的灵魂临近深坑; 他的生命近于灭命的.

33:23 “If there is a messenger beside him, a mediator, one of a thousand, to declare to a human being his uprightness
一千天使中, 若有一个作传话的与神同在, 指示人所当行的事,

33:24 so that he is gracious to him, and he says, ‘Deliver him from descending into the pit; I have found a ransom.’
神就给他开恩, 说: 救赎他免得下坑; 我已经得了赎价.

33:25 His flesh is renewed with his youth; he returns to the days of his youthful strength.
他的肉要比孩童的肉更嫩; 他就返老还童.

33:26 He prays to God, then he accepts him, and he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he repays to the human being his righteousness.
他祷告神, 神就喜悦他, 使他欢呼朝见神的面; 神又看他为义.

33:27 “He will sing to men, and he will say, ‘I have sinned and have perverted what is right, and it was not paid back to me.
他在人前歌唱说: 我犯了罪, 颠倒是非, 这竟与我无益.

33:28 He redeemed my life from going down into the pit, so I will enjoy the light.’
神救赎我的灵魂免入深坑; 我的生命也必见光.

33:29 Look, God does all these things twice, three times with a person
神两次,三次向人行这一切的事,

33:30 to bring his life back from the pit so that he may enjoy the light of life.
为要从深坑救回人的灵魂, 使他被光照耀, 与活人一样.

33:31 “Listen attentively, Job; listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
约伯啊, 你当侧耳听我的话, 不要作声, 等我讲说.

33:32 If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.
你若有话说, 就可以回答我; 你只管说, 因我愿以你为是.

33:33 If not, you listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
若不然, 你就听我说; 你不要作声, 我便将智慧教训你.

Job - Chapter 34

34:1 Thus Elihu spoke up and said,
以利户又说:

34:2 “Hear my words, you wise men, and listen to me, you who know,
你们智慧人要听我的话; 有知识的人要留心听我说.

34:3 for the ear tests words, and the palate tastes food.
因为耳朵试验话语, 好像上膛尝食物.

34:4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; let us determine among ourselves what is good—
我们当选择何为是, 彼此知道何为善.

34:5 for Job has said, ‘I am righteous, but God has taken away my justice.
约伯曾说: 我是公义, 神夺去我的理;

34:6 Should I lie concerning my justice? Though I am without transgression, my wound caused by an arrow is incurable.’
我虽有理, 还算为说谎言的; 我虽无过, 受的伤还不能医治.

34:7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water?
谁像约伯, 喝讥诮如同喝水呢?

34:8 And he goes on the road in company with instigators of mischief, and walks with men of wickedness.
他与作孽的结伴, 和恶人同行.

34:9 Indeed, he says, ‘A man does not profit when he takes delight in God.’
他说: 人以神为乐, 总是无益.

34:10 “Therefore, listen to me, people who have sense: far be it from God that he should commit wickedness and that Shaddai should do wrong.
所以, 你们明理的人要听我的话. 神断不致行恶; 全能者断不致作孽.

34:11 Indeed, he will repay according to a human being’s deeds, and according to a man’s way he will let it happen to him.
他必按人所做的报应人, 使各人照所行的得报.

34:12 What’s more, God truly does not act wickedly, and Shaddai does not pervert justice.
神必不作恶; 全能者也不偏离公平.

34:13 Who gave him charge over the earth? Or who laid on him the whole world?
谁派他治理地, 安定全世界呢?

34:14 If he should set his heart to it, and he should gather his spirit and his breath to himself,
他若专心为己, 将灵和气收归自己,

34:15 all flesh would perish together, and humankind would return to dust.
凡有血气的就必一同死亡; 世人必仍归尘土.

34:16 “But if you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.
你若明理, 就当听我的话, 留心听我言语的声音.

34:17 Shall he who hates justice really govern? Or will you declare the Righteous One, the Mighty, guilty?—
难道恨恶公平的可以掌权吗? 那有公义的,有大能的, 岂可定他有罪吗?

34:18 the one who says to a king, ‘You worthless man,’ to noblemen, ‘You wicked man,’
他对君王说: 你是鄙陋的; 对贵臣说: 你是邪恶的.

34:19 who shows no partiality to officials and who does not take note of the noble more than of the insignificant, for all of them are the work of his hands?
他待王子不徇情面, 也不看重富足的过于贫穷的, 因为都是他手所造.

34:20 In a moment they die, and in the middle of the night the people are shaken, and they pass away, and they take away the mighty effortlessly.
在转眼之间, 半夜之中, 他们就死亡. 百姓被震动而去世; 有权力的被夺去非借人手.

34:21 “Indeed, his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his steps.
神注目观看人的道路, 看明人的脚步.

34:22 There is no darkness, and there is no deep shadow where instigators of mischief might hide themselves.
没有黑暗,阴翳能给作孽的藏身.

34:23 Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man to go to God in the judgment.
神审判人, 不必使人到他面前再三鉴察.

34:24 He shatters the mighty without investigation, and he sets others in their place.
他用难测之法打破有能力的人, 设立别人代替他们.

34:25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night so that they are crushed.
他原知道他们的行为, 使他们在夜间倾倒灭亡.

34:26 He strikes them where the wicked stood, where there are onlookers,
他在众人眼前击打他们, 如同击打恶人一样.

34:27 because they have turned aside from him and have not understood any of his ways,
因为他们偏行不跟从他, 也不留心他的道,

34:28 so that they cause the cry of distress from the helpless to come to him, and he hears the cry of distress from the needy,
甚至使贫穷人的哀声达到他那里; 他也听了困苦人的哀声.

34:29 but he remains quiet, and who can condemn? And he hides his face, and who can behold him? Yet he is over a nation and over a person alike,
他使人安静, 谁能扰乱(或译: 定罪)呢? 他掩面, 谁能见他呢? 无论待一国或一人都是如此─

34:30 so that godless human beings should not reign, nor those who ensnare the people.
使不虔敬的人不得作王, 免得有人牢笼百姓.

34:31 “Indeed, does anyone say to God, ‘I have endured chastisement; I will not act corruptly again;
有谁对神说: 我受了责罚, 不再犯罪;

34:32 teach me yourself what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not repeat it’?
我所看不明的, 求你指教我; 我若作了孽, 必不再作?

34:33 According to your judgment, must he repay it because you rejected this? Indeed, you must choose, and not I, so declare what you know.
他施行报应, 岂要随你的心愿,叫你推辞不受吗? 选定的是你, 不是我. 你所知道的只管说吧!

34:34 Those who have sense say to me, and the wise man hearing me says:
明理的人和听我话的智慧人必对我说:

34:35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge, and his words are without insight.
约伯说话没有知识, 言语中毫无智慧.

34:36 Would that Job were tested up to the end because his answers are like those from men of mischief,
愿约伯被试验到底, 因他回答像恶人一样.

34:37 for he adds transgression to his sin; he claps hands among us, and he multiplies his words against God.’ ”
他在罪上又加悖逆; 在我们中间拍手, 用许多言语轻慢神.

Job - Chapter 35

35:1 Moreover, Elihu spoke up and said,
以利户又说:

35:2 “Do you think this is justice when you say, ‘I am right before God’?
你以为有理, 或以为你的公义胜于神的公义,

35:3 If you ask what it profits you: ‘How do I benefit by refraining from my sin?’
才说这与我有甚么益处? 我不犯罪比犯罪有甚么好处呢?

35:4 I myself will give answer to you and to your friends with you.
我要回答你和在你这里的朋友.

35:5 “Look at the heavens, and see; and observe the clouds that are higher than you.
你要向天观看, 瞻望那高于你的穹苍.

35:6 If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
你若犯罪, 能使神受何害呢? 你的过犯加增, 能使神受何损呢?

35:7 If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?
你若是公义, 还能加增他甚么呢? 他从你手里还接受甚么呢?

35:8 Your wickedness affects a person like yourself, and your righteousness affects humans.
你的过恶或能害你这类的人; 你的公义或能叫世人得益处.

35:9 “Because of the multitude of oppressions, they cry out; they cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
人因多受欺压就哀求, 因受能者的辖制(原文是膀臂)便求救,

35:10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
却无人说: 造我的神在哪里? 他使人夜间歌唱,

35:11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
教训我们胜于地上的走兽, 使我们有聪明胜于空中的飞鸟.

35:12 There they cry out, but he does not answer because of the pride of evildoers.
他们在那里, 因恶人的骄傲呼求, 却无人答应.

35:13 “Surely God does not hear an empty plea, and Shaddai does not regard it.
虚妄的呼求, 神必不垂听; 全能者也必不眷顾.

35:14 How much less when you say that you do not see him, that the case is before him, and you are waiting for him!
何况你说, 你不得见他; 你的案件在他面前, 你等候他吧.

35:15 But now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,
但如今因他未曾发怒降罚, 也不甚理会狂傲,

35:16 therefore Job opens his mouth in empty talk— without knowledge he multiplies words.”
所以约伯开口说虚妄的话, 多发无知识的言语.

Job - Chapter 36

36:1 Then Elihu continued and said,
以利户又接着说:

36:2 “Bear with me a little longer, and I will explain, for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
你再容我片时, 我就指示你, 因我还有话为神说.

36:3 I will bring my knowledge from far away, and I will ascribe righteousness to my maker,
我要将所知道的从远处引来, 将公义归给造我的主.

36:4 for truly my words are not falsehood; one who has perfect knowledge is with you.
我的言语真不虚谎; 有知识全备的与你同在.

36:5 Look, God is mighty but does not despise anyone; he is mighty and good in understanding.
神有大能, 并不藐视人; 他的智慧甚广.

36:6 He does not keep the wicked alive but grants justice to the afflicted.
他不保护恶人的性命, 却为困苦人伸冤.

36:7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.
他时常看顾义人, 使他们和君王同坐宝座, 永远要被高举.

36:8 “And if they are tied up with fetters, if they are caught in the cords of misery,
他们若被锁链捆住, 被苦难的绳索缠住,

36:9 then he declares their work to them, and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
他就把他们的作为和过犯指示他们, 叫他们知道有骄傲的行动.

36:10 So he opens their ear to the discipline, and he commands that they return from mischief.

他使密云盛满水气, 布散电光之云;

37:12 And they turn around by his guidance to accomplish all that he has commanded them on the face of the habitable world.

37:13 Whether as correction or for his land, or as loyal love, he lets it happen.
或为责罚, 或为润地, 或为施行慈爱.

37:14 “Hear this, Job; stand still and consider carefully God’s wondrous works.

37:18 with him can you spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror?

37:22 From the north comes gold— awesome majesty is around God.

Job - Chapter 42

42:1 Then Job answered Yahweh and said,
约伯回答耶和华说:

42:2 “I know that you can do all things, and any scheme from you will not be thwarted.
我知道, 你万事都能做; 你的旨意不能拦阻.

42:3 ‘Who is this darkening counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I uttered, but I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, but I did not know.
谁用无知的言语使你的旨意隐藏呢? 我所说的是我不明白的; 这些事太奇妙, 是我不知道的.

42:4 ‘Hear and I will speak; I will question you, then inform me.’
求你听我, 我要说话; 我问你, 求你指示我.

42:5 By the ear’s hearing I heard of you, but now my eye has seen you.
我从前风闻有你, 现在亲眼看见你.

42:6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
因此我厌恶自己(或译: 我的言语), 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔.

42:7 And then after Yahweh spoke these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath has been kindled against you and against the two of your friends, for you have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has.
耶和华对约伯说话以后, 就对提幔人以利法说: “我的怒气向你和你两个朋友发作, 因为你们议论我不如我的仆人约伯说的是.

42:8 So then, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will pray for you, for I will certainly accept his prayer, so that it will not be done with you according to your folly, for you have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job has.”
现在你们要取七只公牛, 七只公羊, 到我仆人约伯那里去, 为自己献上燔祭, 我的仆人约伯就为你们祈祷. 我因悦纳他, 就不按你们的愚妄办你们. 你们议论我, 不如我的仆人约伯说的是. ”

42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did just as Yahweh had told them, and Yahweh accepted Job’s prayer.
于是提幔人以利法,书亚人比勒达,拿玛人琐法照着耶和华所吩咐的去行; 耶和华就悦纳约伯.

42:10 Then Yahweh returned Job’s fortune when he prayed to him on behalf of his friends. Thus Yahweh increased all that Job had twice as much as before.
约伯为他的朋友祈祷. 耶和华就使约伯从苦境(原文是掳掠)转回, 并且耶和华赐给他的比他从前所有的加倍.

42:11 So all his brothers and all his sisters and all those who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house and showed sympathy to him and comforted him for all the disaster that Yahweh had brought upon him. Then each one gave to him one piece of money, and each one gave to him one ornamental ring of gold.
约伯的弟兄,姊妹, 和以先所认识的人都来见他, 在他家里一同吃饭; 又论到耶和华所降与他的一切灾祸, 都为他悲伤安慰他. 每人也送他一块银子和一个金环.

42:12 So Yahweh blessed Job’s latter days more than his beginning. Thus he had fourteen thousand sheep and goats and six thousand camels and a thousand pair of oxen and a thousand female donkeys.
这样, 耶和华后来赐福给约伯比先前更多. 他有一万四千羊, 六千骆驼, 一千对牛, 一千母驴.

42:13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
他也有七个儿子, 三个女儿.

42:14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah and the name of the second Keziah and the name of the third Qeren-Happuk.
他给长女起名叫耶米玛, 次女叫基洗亚, 三女叫基连‧哈朴.

42:15 And beautiful women were not found in all the land like Job’s daughters, and their father gave to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.
在那全地的妇女中找不著像约伯的女儿那样美貌. 她们的父亲使她们在弟兄中得产业.

42:16 And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years, and he saw his sons and his grandsons for four generations.
此后, 约伯又活了一百四十年, 得见他的儿孙, 直到四代.

42:17 Then Job died old and full of days.
这样, 约伯年纪老迈, 日子满足而死.

(大卫的诗, 交与伶长耶杜顿. )我曾说: 我要谨慎我的言行, 免得我舌头犯罪; 恶人在我面前的时候, 我要用嚼环勒住我的口.

耶和华啊, 求你叫我晓得我身之终! 我的寿数几何? 叫我知道我的生命不长!

39:5 Look, you have made my days mere handbreadths, and my lifespan as nothing next to you. Surely every person standing firm is complete vanity. Selah
你使我的年日窄如手掌; 我一生的年数, 在你面前如同无有. 各人最稳妥的时候, 真是全然虚幻. (细拉)

39:6 Surely a man walks about as a mere shadow; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up possessions but does not know who will gather them in.

耶和华啊, 求你不要向我止住你的慈悲! 愿你的慈爱和诚实常常保佑我!

106:34 They did not exterminate the peoples, as Yahweh had commanded them,
他们不照耶和华所吩咐的灭绝外邦人,

106:35 but they mingled with the nations and learned their works,
反与他们混杂相合, 学习他们的行为,

106:36 and served their idols, which became a snare to them.
事奉他们的偶像, 这就成了自己的网罗,

106:37 They even sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons,

因为这要作你头上的华冠, 你项上的金链.

1:10 My child, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

1:11 If they say, “Come with us! We shall lie in wait for blood; we shall ambush the innocent without cause.
他们若说: 你与我们同去, 我们要埋伏流人之血, 要蹲伏害无罪之人;

1:12 Like Sheol, we will swallow them alive and whole, like those who descend to the pit.

我儿, 不要与他们同行一道, 禁止你脚走他们的路.

1:28 then they will call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but not find me.
那时, 你们必呼求我, 我却不答应, 恳切地寻找我, 却寻不见.

1:29 Since they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,
因为, 你们恨恶知识, 不喜爱敬畏耶和华,

1:30 they were not willing to accept my counsel, they despised all my reproof.
不听我的劝戒, 藐视我一切的责备,

1:31 They shall eat from the fruit of their way, and they shall be sated from their own schemes,

Ecclesiastes (传道书)

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 1

1:1 The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
在耶路撒冷作王,大卫的儿子,传道者的言语.

1:2 “Vanity of vanities!” says the Teacher, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!”
传道者说: 虚空的虚空, 虚空的虚空, 凡事都是虚空.

1:3 What does a person gain in all his toil with which he toils under the sun?
人一切的劳碌, 就是他在日光之下的劳碌, 有甚么益处呢?

1:4 A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth stands forever.
一代过去, 一代又来, 地却永远长存.

1:5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down; to its place it hurries, and there it rises again.
日头出来, 日头落下, 急归所出之地.

1:6 The wind goes to the south and goes around to the north; around and around it goes, and on its circuit the wind returns.
风往南刮, 又向北转, 不住地旋转, 而且返回转行原道.

1:7 All the streams flow to the sea, but the sea is never full; to the place where the streams flow, there they continue to flow.
江河都往海里流, 海却不满; 江河从何处流, 仍归还何处.

1:8 All things toil continuously; no one can ever finish describing this. The eye is never satisfied with seeing, and the ear is never filled with hearing.
万事令人厌烦(或译: 万物满有困乏), 人不能说尽. 眼看, 看不饱; 耳听, 听不足.

1:9 What has been—it is what will be; what has been done—it is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.
已有的事后必再有; 已行的事后必再行. 日光之下并无新事.

1:10 There is a thing of which it is said, “Look at this! This is new!” But it already existed in ages past before us.
岂有一件事人能指著说这是新的? 哪知, 在我们以前的世代早已有了.

1:11 There is neither remembrance of former generations, nor will there be remembrance of future generations.
已过的世代, 无人记念; 将来的世代, 后来的人也不记念.

1:12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
我传道者在耶路撒冷作过以色列的王.

1:13 I applied my mind to seek and to search by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. It is a grievous task God has given to humans.
我专心用智慧寻求,查究天下所做的一切事, 乃知神叫世人所经练的是极重的劳苦.

1:14 I saw all the works that are done under the sun. Look! Everything is vanity and chasing wind.
我见日光之下所做的一切事, 都是虚空, 都是捕风.

1:15 What is twisted cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted.
弯曲的, 不能变直; 缺少的, 不能足数.

1:16 I said to myself, “Look! I have become great and have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has preceded me over Jerusalem. I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge.”
我心里议论说: 我得了大智慧, 胜过我以前在耶路撒冷的众人, 而且我心中多经历智慧和知识的事.

1:17 So I dedicated myself to learn about wisdom and to learn about delusion and folly. However, I discovered that this also is chasing wind.
我又专心察明智慧,狂妄, 和愚昧, 乃知这也是捕风.

1:18 For in much wisdom is much frustration, and whoever increases knowledge increases sorrow.
因为多有智慧, 就多有愁烦; 加增知识的, 就加增忧伤.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 2

2:1 I said to myself, “Come! I will test pleasure to see whether it is worthwhile.” But look, “This also is vanity!”
我心里说: “来吧, 我以喜乐试试你, 你好享福! ”谁知, 这也是虚空.

2:2 I said of laughter, “It is folly!” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”
我指嬉笑说: “这是狂妄. ”论喜乐说: “有何功效呢? ”

2:3 I also explored the effects of indulging my flesh with wine. My mind guiding me with wisdom, I investigated folly so that I might discover what is good under heaven for humans to do during the days of their lives.
我心里察究, 如何用酒使我肉体舒畅, 我心却仍以智慧引导我; 又如何持住愚昧, 等我看明世人, 在天下一生当行何事为美.

2:4 I accomplished great things. I built for myself houses; I planted for myself vineyards.
我为自己动大工程, 建造房屋, 栽种葡萄园,

2:5 I made for myself gardens and parks, and I planted all sorts of fruit trees in them.
修造园囿, 在其中栽种各样果木树;

2:6 I made for myself pools of water from which to irrigate a grove of flourishing trees.
挖造水池, 用以浇灌嫩小的树木.

2:7 I acquired male slaves and female slaves, as well as children born in my house. I also had livestock, cattle, and flocks more than anyone who was before me in Jerusalem.
我买了仆婢, 也有生在家中的仆婢; 又有许多牛群羊群, 胜过以前在耶路撒冷众人所有的.

2:8 I also gathered to myself silver and gold—the royal and provincial treasuries. I acquired for myself male and female singers, as well as the delight of men, voluptuous concubines.
我又为自己积蓄金银和君王的财宝, 并各省的财宝; 又得唱歌的男女和世人所喜爱的物, 并许多的妃嫔.

2:9 Thus, I accomplished far more than anyone who was before me in Jerusalem—indeed, my wisdom stood by me.
这样, 我就日见昌盛, 胜过以前在耶路撒冷的众人. 我的智慧仍然存留.

2:10 I neither withheld anything from my eyes that they desired, nor did I deprive any pleasure from my heart. My heart rejoiced in all my toil, for this was my reward from all my toil.
凡我眼所求的, 我没有留下不给它的; 我心所乐的, 我没有禁止不享受的; 因我的心为我一切所劳碌的快乐, 这就是我从劳碌中所得的分.

2:11 Yet when I considered all the effort which I expended and the toil with which I toiled to do, then behold, “Everything is vanity and chasing wind! There is nothing profitable under the sun!”
后来, 我察看我手所经营的一切事和我劳碌所成的功. 谁知都是虚空, 都是捕风; 在日光之下毫无益处.

2:12 Next, I considered wisdom, as well as delusion and folly. What can anyone do who will come after the king that has not already been done?
我转念观看智慧,狂妄, 和愚昧. 在王以后而来的人还能做甚么呢? 也不过行早先所行的就是了.

2:13 I realized that wisdom has an advantage over folly, just as light has an advantage over darkness.
我便看出智慧胜过愚昧, 如同光明胜过黑暗.

2:14 The wise man can see where he is walking, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also realized that both of them suffer the same fate.
智慧人的眼目光明(光明: 原文是在他头上), 愚昧人在黑暗里行. 我却看明有一件事, 这两等人都必遇见.

2:15 So I said to myself, “If I also suffer the same fate as the fool, what advantage is my great wisdom?” So I said to myself, “This also is vanity!”
我就心里说: “愚昧人所遇见的, 我也必遇见, 我为何更有智慧呢? ”我心里说, 这也是虚空.

2:16 Certainly no one will remember the wise man or the fool in future generations. When future days come, both will have been forgotten already. How is it that the wise man dies the same as the fool?
智慧人和愚昧人一样, 永远无人记念, 因为日后都被忘记; 可叹智慧人死亡, 与愚昧人无异.

2:17 So I hated life because the work done under the sun is grievous to me. For everything is vanity and chasing wind!
我所以恨恶生命; 因为在日光之下所行的事我都以为烦恼, 都是虚空, 都是捕风.

2:18 So I hated all my toil with which I have toiled under the sun, for I must leave it behind to someone who will be after me.
我恨恶一切的劳碌, 就是我在日光之下的劳碌, 因为我得来的必留给我以后的人.

2:19 And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? Yet he will exercise control of all the fruit of my toil with which I toiled wisely under the sun. This also is vanity!
那人是智慧是愚昧, 谁能知道? 他竟要管理我劳碌所得的, 就是我在日光之下用智慧所得的. 这也是虚空.

2:20 So I began to despair of all the toil with which I toiled under the sun.
故此, 我转想我在日光之下所劳碌的一切工作, 心便绝望.

2:21 For although a person may toil with great wisdom and skill, he must leave his reward to someone who has not toiled for it. This also is vanity and a great calamity.
因为有人用智慧,知识,灵巧所劳碌得来的, 却要留给未曾劳碌的人为分. 这也是虚空, 也是大患.

2:22 For what does a person receive for all his toil and in the longing of his heart with which he toils under the sun?
人在日光之下劳碌累心, 在他一切的劳碌上得着甚么呢?

2:23 All his days are painful, his labor brings grief, and his heart cannot rest at night. This also is vanity!
因为他日日忧虑, 他的劳苦成为愁烦, 连夜间心也不安. 这也是虚空.

2:24 There is nothing better for a person than to eat and drink and find delight in his toil. For I also realized that this is from the hand of God!
人莫强如吃喝, 且在劳碌中享福, 我看这也是出于神的手.

2:25 For who can eat and drink, and who can enjoy life apart from him?
论到吃用,享福, 谁能胜过我呢?

2:26 For to the person who is good in his eyes, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and heaping up only to give it to him who is pleasing to him. This also is vanity and chasing wind!
神喜悦谁, 就给谁智慧,知识, 和喜乐; 惟有罪人, 神使他劳苦, 叫他将所收聚的,所堆积的归给神所喜悦的人. 这也是虚空, 也是捕风.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 3

3:1 For everything there is an appointed time, a time for every matter under heaven:
凡事都有定期, 天下万务都有定时.

3:2 a time to bear and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to root up what is planted;
生有时, 死有时; 栽种有时, 拔出所栽种的也有时;

3:3 a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up;
杀戮有时, 医治有时; 拆毁有时, 建造有时;

3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;
哭有时, 笑有时; 哀恸有时, 跳舞有时;

3:5 a time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
抛掷石头有时, 堆聚石头有时; 怀抱有时, 不怀抱有时;

3:6 a time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to throw away;
寻找有时, 失落有时; 保守有时, 舍弃有时;

3:7 a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak;
撕裂有时, 缝补有时; 静默有时, 言语有时;

3:8 a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.
喜爱有时, 恨恶有时; 争战有时, 和好有时.

3:9 What does the worker gain in his toil?
这样看来, 做事的人在他的劳碌上有甚么益处呢?

3:10 I have seen the busyness God gives to humans to preoccupy them.
我见神叫世人劳苦, 使他们在其中受经练.

3:11 He has made everything suitable in its time. He also has put the past in their hearts, yet no one can grasp what God does from the beginning to the end.
神造万物, 各按其时成为美好, 又将永生(原文是永远)安置在世人心里. 然而神从始至终的作为, 人不能参透.

3:12 So I realized that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy themselves during their lives.
我知道世人, 莫强如终身喜乐行善;

3:13 And for anyone to eat and drink, that is, to enjoy the fruit of all his toil, this also is a gift of God.
并且人人吃喝, 在他一切劳碌中享福, 这也是神的恩赐.

3:14 I know everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken from it, for God so acts that humans might stand in awe before him.
我知道神一切所做的都必永存; 无所增添, 无所减少. 神这样行, 是要人在他面前存敬畏的心.

3:15 What is—it already was, and what will be—it already is, for God will do what he has done.
现今的事早先就有了, 将来的事早已也有了, 并且神使已过的事重新再来(或译: 并且神再寻回已过的事).

3:16 I saw something else under the sun: instead of justice there was evil; instead of righteousness there was wickedness.
我又见日光之下, 在审判之处有奸恶, 在公义之处也有奸恶.

3:17 So I said to myself, “God will surely judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time of judgment for every deed and every work.”
我心里说, 神必审判义人和恶人; 因为在那里, 各样事务, 一切工作, 都有定时.

3:18 I said to myself concerning humans, “God sifts them in order to show them that they are like beasts.”
我心里说, 这乃为世人的缘故, 是神要试验他们, 使他们觉得自己不过像兽一样.

3:19 For the fate of humans and the fate of the beast is the same. The death of the one is like the death of the other, for both are mortal. Man has no advantage over the beast, for both are fleeting.
因为世人遭遇的, 兽也遭遇, 所遭遇的都是一样: 这个怎样死, 那个也怎样死, 气息都是一样. 人不能强于兽, 都是虚空.

3:20 Both go to one place—both came from dust and both return to dust.
都归一处, 都是出于尘土, 也都归于尘土.

3:21 For no one knows whether the spirit of a human ascends to heaven and whether the spirit of the beast descends to the ground!
谁知道人的灵是往上升, 兽的魂是下入地呢?

3:22 So I concluded that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy the fruit of his labor, for this is his lot in life. For no one knows what will happen in the future.
故此, 我见人莫强如在他经营的事上喜乐, 因为这是他的分. 他身后的事谁能使他回来得见呢?

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 4

4:1 I looked again, and I saw all the oppression that occurs under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed— no one comforts them! Those who oppress them are powerful— no one can comfort them!
我又转念, 见日光之下所行的一切欺压. 看哪, 受欺压的流泪, 且无人安慰; 欺压他们的有势力, 也无人安慰他们.

4:2 So I deemed the dead who have already died more fortunate than the living who are still alive.
因此, 我赞叹那早已死的死人, 胜过那还活着的活人.

4:3 But better off than both of them is the one who has not yet been born and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
并且我以为那未曾生的, 就是未见过日光之下恶事的, 比这两等人更强.

4:4 I also realized that all of the toil and all of the skillful work that is done—it is envy between one man and another. This also is vanity and chasing wind!
我又见人为一切的劳碌和各样灵巧的工作就被邻舍嫉妒. 这也是虚空, 也是捕风.

4:5 The fool refuses to work with his hands, so he has nothing to eat except his own skin!
愚昧人抱着手, 吃自己的肉.

4:6 Better is one handful with peace than two fists full with toil and chasing wind.
满了一把, 得享安静, 强如满了两把, 劳碌捕风.

4:7 I turned again and saw another vanity under the sun.
我又转念, 见日光之下有一件虚空的事:

4:8 Sometimes a man is all alone with no companion; he also has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eye is not satisfied with wealth. He laments, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity—it is an unhappy business!
有人孤单无二, 无子无兄, 竟劳碌不息, 眼目也不以钱财为足. 他说: “我劳劳碌碌, 刻苦自己, 不享福乐, 到底是为谁呢? ”这也是虚空, 是极重的劳苦.

4:9 Two are better than the one, for they enjoy a better reward for their toil.
两个人总比一个人好, 因为二人劳碌同得美好的果效.

4:10 For if one falls, his companion may help him up. But pity the one who falls and there is no one to help him up.
若是跌倒, 这人可以扶起他的同伴; 若是孤身跌倒, 没有别人扶起他来, 这人就有祸了.

4:11 Also if two lie together, they can keep each other warm. But how can one person be warm?
再者, 二人同睡就都暖和, 一人独睡怎能暖和呢?

4:12 Although an assailant may overpower one person, two may withstand him. A threefold cord is not easily broken!
有人攻胜孤身一人, 若有二人便能敌挡他; 三股合成的绳子不容易折断.

4:13 A poor but wise youth is better than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to receive advice.
贫穷而有智慧的少年人胜过年老不肯纳谏的愚昧王.

4:14 For he came out of the prison house to reign, since he was born poor in his kingdom.
这人是从监牢中出来作王, 在他国中, 生来原是贫穷的.

4:15 I saw all the living who move about under the sun with the youth; the second who will stand in his place.
我见日光之下一切行动的活人都随从那第二位, 就是起来代替老王的少年人.

4:16 There is no end to all the people, to all who were before him. Yet the later generation will not rejoice in him, for this also is vanity and chasing wind!
他所治理的众人就是他的百姓, 多得无数; 在他后来的人尚且不喜悦他. 这真是虚空, 也是捕风.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 5

5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.
你到神的殿要谨慎脚步; 因为近前听, 胜过愚昧人献祭(或译: 胜过献愚昧人的祭), 他们本不知道所做的是恶.

5:2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be quick to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore, let your words be few.
你在神面前不可冒失开口, 也不可心急发言; 因为神在天上, 你在地下, 所以你的言语要寡少.

5:3 For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words.
事务多, 就令人做梦; 言语多, 就显出愚昧.

5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, for he takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill what you vow!
你向神许愿, 偿还不可迟延, 因他不喜悦愚昧人, 所以你许的愿应当偿还.

5:5 It is better that you not vow than that you vow and not fulfill it.
你许愿不还, 不如不许.

5:6 Do not let your mouth lead your flesh into sin, and do not tell the messenger that it was a mistake. Why anger God at your words, so that he destroys the work of your hands?
不可任你的口使肉体犯罪, 也不可在祭司(原文是使者)面前说是错许了. 为何使神因你的声音发怒, 败坏你手所做的呢?

5:7 For with many dreams come vanities and numerous words. Therefore, fear God!
多梦和多言, 其中多有虚幻, 你只要敬畏神.

5:8 Do not be surprised if you see the poor being oppressed with violence or do not see justice and righteousness in the province. For one official is watched by a higher official, and there are even higher officials over them!
你若在一省之中见穷人受欺压, 并夺去公义公平的事, 不要因此诧异; 因有一位高过居高位的鉴察, 在他们以上还有更高的.

5:9 The produce of the land is exploited by everyone; even the king profits from the field of the poor!
况且地的益处归众人, 就是君王也受田地的供应.

5:10 Whoever loves money is not satisfied with money, and whoever loves wealth is not satisfied with profit. This also is vanity!
贪爱银子的, 不因得银子知足; 贪爱丰富的, 也不因得利益知足. 这也是虚空.

5:11 When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent.
货物增添, 吃的人也增添, 物主得甚么益处呢? 不过眼看而已!

5:12 The sleep of the laborer is pleasant, whether he eats little or much, but the wealth of the rich man does not allow him to rest.
劳碌的人不拘吃多吃少, 睡得香甜; 富足人的丰满却不容他睡觉.

5:13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded by its owner to his harm.
我见日光之下有一宗大祸患, 就是财主积存资财, 反害自己.

5:14 That wealth was lost in a bad venture. Although he has borne a child, he has nothing to leave to him.
因遭遇祸患, 这些资财就消灭; 那人若生了儿子, 手里也一无所有.

5:15 Just as he came from his mother’s womb naked, he will depart just as he came; he will take nothing with him for his toil.
他怎样从母胎赤身而来, 也必照样赤身而去; 他所劳碌得来的, 手中分毫不能带去.

5:16 This also is a grievous illness. Exactly as he came, so he will go. What profit does he gain for all his toil for the wind?
他来的情形怎样, 他去的情形也怎样. 这也是一宗大祸患. 他为风劳碌有甚么益处呢?

5:17 Also, he eats in darkness all his days; he is frustrated in much sickness and resentment.
并且他终身在黑暗中吃喝, 多有烦恼, 又有病患呕气.

5:18 Look! I have discovered what is good and fitting: to eat and to drink and to enjoy all the fruit of the toil with which one toils under the sun during the number of the days of his life that God gives to him—for this is his lot.
我所见为善为美的, 就是人在神赐他一生的日子吃喝, 享受日光之下劳碌得来的好处, 因为这是他的分.

5:19 This indeed is a gift of God: everyone to whom God gives wealth and possessions, he also empowers him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in the fruit of his toil.
神赐人资财丰富, 使他能以吃用, 能取自己的分, 在他劳碌中喜乐, 这乃是神的恩赐.

5:20 For he does not remember the brief days of his life, for God keeps his heart preoccupied with enjoyment of life.
他不多思念自己一生的年日, 因为神应他的心使他喜乐.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 6

6:1 Here is another misfortune that I have seen under the sun, and it is prevalent among humankind.
我见日光之下有一宗祸患重压在人身上,

6:2 God gives a man wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; yet God does not enable him to enjoy it—instead someone else ends up enjoying it. This is vanity—indeed, it is a grievous ill!
就是人蒙神赐他资财,丰富,尊荣, 以致他心里所愿的一样都不缺, 只是神使他不能吃用, 反有外人来吃用. 这是虚空, 也是祸患.

6:3 Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years so that the days of his years are many, if his heart is not satisfied with his prosperity and he does not receive a proper burial, I deem the stillborn better than him.
人若生一百个儿子, 活许多岁数, 以致他的年日甚多, 心里却不得满享福乐, 又不得埋葬; 据我说, 那不到期而落的胎比他倒好.

6:4 For he comes into vanity and departs into darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness.
因为虚虚而来, 暗暗而去, 名字被黑暗遮蔽,

6:5 He has neither seen nor known the sun, yet he has more rest than him.
并且没有见过天日, 也毫无知觉; 这胎, 比那人倒享安息.

6:6 Even if a man lives a thousand years twice, if he does not enjoy prosperity, both suffer the same fate!
那人虽然活千年, 再活千年, 却不享福, 众人岂不都归一个地方去吗?

6:7 All of a man’s toil is for his mouth— yet his appetite is never satisfied.
人的劳碌都为口腹, 心里却不知足.

6:8 So do the wise really have an advantage over fools? Can the poor really gain anything by knowing how to act in front of others?
这样看来, 智慧人比愚昧人有甚么长处呢? 穷人在众人面前知道如何行, 有甚么长处呢?

6:9 Better to be content with what your eyes see than for your soul to constantly crave more. This also is vanity and chasing wind!
眼睛所看的比心里妄想的倒好. 这也是虚空, 也是捕风.

6:10 Whatever is—it was already determined, what will be—it has already been decided. As for man, he cannot argue against what is more powerful than him.
先前所有的, 早已起了名, 并知道何为人, 他也不能与那比自己力大的相争.

6:11 Increasing words only multiplies futility, how does that profit anyone?
加增虚浮的事既多, 这与人有甚么益处呢?

6:12 For who knows what is good for a man in his life during the few days of his fleeting life, which are fleeting as a shadow? For who can tell anyone what will happen in the future under the sun?
人一生虚度的日子, 就如影儿经过, 谁知道甚么与他有益呢? 谁能告诉他身后在日光之下有甚么事呢?

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 7

7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death is better than the day of one’s birth.
名誉强如美好的膏油; 人死的日子胜过人生的日子.

7:2 Better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for death is the end of every person, and the living should take it to his heart.
往遭丧的家去, 强如往宴乐的家去; 因为死是众人的结局, 活人也必将这事放在心上.

7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made good.
忧愁强如喜笑; 因为面带愁容, 终必使心喜乐.

7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
智慧人的心在遭丧之家; 愚昧人的心在快乐之家.

7:5 Better to listen to the rebuke of the wise than for a man to listen to the song of fools.
听智慧人的责备, 强如听愚昧人的歌唱.

7:6 Like the sound of thorns under a pot, so also the laughter of fools. This also is vanity!
愚昧人的笑声, 好像锅下烧荆棘的爆声; 这也是虚空.

7:7 Surely oppression makes a fool of the wise, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
勒索使智慧人变为愚妄; 贿赂能败坏人的慧心.

7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning; better to be slow to anger than hot-headed.
事情的终局强如事情的起头; 存心忍耐的, 胜过居心骄傲的.

7:9 Do not be quick in your spirit to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.
你不要心里急躁恼怒, 因为恼怒存在愚昧人的怀中.

7:10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
不要说: 先前的日子强过如今的日子, 是甚么缘故呢? 你这样问, 不是出于智慧.

7:11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance; it benefits the living.
智慧和产业并好, 而且见天日的人得智慧更为有益.

7:12 For wisdom offers protection like money offers protection. But knowledge has an advantage—wisdom restores life to its possessor.
因为智慧护庇人, 好像银钱护庇人一样. 惟独智慧能保全智慧人的生命. 这就是知识的益处.

7:13 Consider the work of God. For who is able to make straight what he made crooked?
你要察看神的作为; 因神使为曲的, 谁能变为直呢?

7:14 In the day of prosperity, rejoice! But in the day of adversity, consider! For God made one in place of another so that mortals cannot find out what will happen in the future.
遇亨通的日子你当喜乐; 遭患难的日子你当思想; 因为神使这两样并列, 为的是叫人查不出身后有甚么事.

7:15 I have seen all these things in my vain life: Sometimes a righteous man perishes in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked man lives a long life in spite of his evil.
有义人行义, 反致灭亡; 有恶人行恶, 倒享长寿. 这都是我在虚度之日中所见过的.

7:16 Do not be excessively righteous, and do not act excessively wise, lest you destroy yourself.
不要行义过分, 也不要过于自逞智慧, 何必自取败亡呢?

7:17 Do not act excessively wicked, and do not be a fool, lest you die before your time.
不要行恶过分, 也不要为人愚昧, 何必不到期而死呢?

7:18 It is good to take hold of the one and also must not let go of the other; for whoever fears God will hold both of them secure.
你持守这个为美, 那个也不要松手; 因为敬畏神的人, 必从这两样出来.

7:19 Wisdom gives more strength to the wise than ten rulers who are in the city.
智慧使有智慧的人比城中十个官长更有能力.

7:20 Surely there is no one righteous on the earth who continually does good and never sins.
时常行善而不犯罪的义人, 世上实在没有.

7:21 Do not pay attention to everything people say, lest you hear your own servant curse you.
人所说的一切话, 你不要放在心上, 恐怕听见你的仆人咒诅你.

7:22 For your heart knows that you also have cursed others many times.
因为你心里知道, 自己也曾屡次咒诅别人.

7:23 All this I have tested with wisdom. I said, “I will be wise!” but it was beyond my grasp.
我曾用智慧试验这一切事; 我说, 要得智慧, 智慧却离我远.

7:24 Whatever is—it is far beyond comprehension. Who can discover it?
万事之理, 离我甚远, 而且最深, 谁能测透呢?

7:25 I set my mind to try to seek wisdom and the plan, and to know that wickedness is foolishness and that folly is delusion.
我转念, 一心要知道, 要考察, 要寻求智慧和万事的理由; 又要知道邪恶为愚昧, 愚昧为狂妄.

7:26 I myself found that more bitter than death is the woman who is a trap, whose heart is a snare, and whose hands are bonds. The one who pleases God escapes from her, but the sinner is caught by her.
我得知有等妇人比死还苦: 她的心是网罗, 手是锁链. 凡蒙神喜悦的人必能躲避她; 有罪的人却被她缠住了.

7:27 “Look! I found this,” said the Teacher, “while trying to find how the plan fits together.
传道者说: “看哪, 一千男子中, 我找到一个正直人, 但众女子中, 没有找到一个. ”我将这事一一比较, 要寻求其理, 我心仍要寻找, 却未曾找到.

7:28 What my heart sought, I did not find. Although I found one righteous man among one thousand, I did not find one upright woman among all these.
a

7:29 Look! This alone I found: God made mankind upright, but they have devised many schemes.”
我所找到的只有一件, 就是神造人原是正直, 但他们寻出许多巧计.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 8

8:1 Who is like the sage? Who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
谁如智慧人呢? 谁知道事情的解释呢? 人的智慧使他的脸发光, 并使他脸上的暴气改变.

8:2 Keep the command of the king because of your oath to God.
我劝你遵守王的命令; 既指神起誓, 理当如此.

8:3 Do not be terrified of his presence! Go at once and do not delay when a matter is unpleasant, for he can do anything that he desires.
不要急躁离开王的面前, 不要固执行恶, 因为他凡事都随自己的心意而行.

8:4 Since the word of the king is supreme, no one can say to him, “What are you doing?”
王的话本有权力, 谁敢问他说“你做甚么”呢?

8:5 Whoever obeys his command will not suffer disaster. The wise mind knows the proper time and the right procedure.
凡遵守命令的, 必不经历祸患; 智慧人的心能辨明时候和定理(原文是审判; 下节同).

8:6 For there is a proper time and right procedure for every matter, even though the trouble of man weighs heavy upon him.
各样事务成就都有时候和定理, 因为人的苦难重压在他身上.

8:7 Surely no one knows what will be, so who can tell anyone what will happen?
他不知道将来的事, 因为将来如何, 谁能告诉他呢?

8:8 Just as no one can control the wind to restrain the wind, so also no one can control the day of his death. Just as no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not deliver the wicked.
无人有权力掌管生命, 将生命留住; 也无人有权力掌管死期; 这场争战, 无人能免; 邪恶也不能救那好行邪恶的人.

8:9 I saw all this as I applied my heart to all the deeds done under the sun: sometimes those in authority harm others.
这一切我都见过, 也专心查考日光之下所做的一切事. 有时这人管辖那人, 令人受害.

8:10 Meanwhile, I saw the wicked being honorably buried, but those who came and went from the holy place were forgotten in the city, even though they had done so. This also is vanity!
我见恶人埋葬, 归入坟墓; 又见行正直事的离开圣地, 在城中被人忘记. 这也是虚空.

8:11 Because sentence against an evil deed is not carried out quickly, the heart of humans fills up within them to do evil.
因为断定罪名不立刻施刑, 所以世人满心作恶.

8:12 Although the sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I also know that it will be good for those who fear God—because they fear his presence.
罪人虽然作恶百次, 倒享长久的年日; 然而我准知道, 敬畏神的, 就是在他面前敬畏的人, 终久必得福乐.

8:13 But it will not go well with the wicked, and they will not prolong their days, like the shadow; because there is no fearing God’s presence.
恶人却不得福乐, 也不得长久的年日; 这年日好像影儿, 因他不敬畏神.

8:14 There is a vanity that happens on earth: sometimes the righteous suffer what the wicked deserve, and sometimes the wicked receive what the righteous deserve. I said, “This also is vanity!”
世上有一件虚空的事, 就是义人所遭遇的, 反照恶人所行的; 又有恶人所遭遇的, 反照义人所行的. 我说, 这也是虚空.

8:15 So I recommend enjoyment. For there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat and to drink and to rejoice. This will accompany him in his toil the days of his life that God gives to him under the sun.
我就称赞快乐, 原来人在日光之下, 莫强如吃喝快乐; 因为他在日光之下, 神赐他一生的年日, 要从劳碌中, 时常享受所得的.

8:16 I applied my mind to know wisdom and to understand the business that is done on earth—how neither day nor night one’s eyes see sleep.
我专心求智慧, 要看世上所做的事. (有昼夜不睡觉不合眼的. )

8:17 Then I saw all the work of God—man is not able to discover the work that is done under the sun. Although man may toil in seeking, he cannot find it. Even if a wise man claims that he knows it, he cannot find it.
我就看明神一切的作为, 知道人查不出日光之下所做的事; 任凭他费多少力寻查, 都查不出来, 就是智慧人虽想知道, 也是查不出来.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 9

9:1 So all this I laid to my heart, and I concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in the hand of God. So no one knows anything that will come to them, whether it will be love or hatred.
我将这一切事放在心上, 详细考究, 就知道义人和智慧人, 并他们的作为都在神手中; 或是爱, 或是恨, 都在他们的前面, 人不能知道.

9:2 The same fate comes to everyone: to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the wicked, to the clean and to the unclean, to those who sacrifice and to those who do not sacrifice. As with the good man, so also to the sinner; as with those who swear an oath, so also those who fear oaths.
凡临到众人的事都是一样: 义人和恶人都遭遇一样的事; 好人, 洁净人和不洁净人, 献祭的与不献祭的, 也是一样. 好人如何, 罪人也如何; 起誓的如何, 怕起誓的也如何.

9:3 This is the injustice that is done under the sun: the same fate comes to everyone. Also the hearts of humans are full of evil; delusion is in their hearts during their lives, and then they die.
在日光之下所行的一切事上有一件祸患, 就是众人所遭遇的都是一样, 并且世人的心充满了恶; 活着的时候心里狂妄, 后来就归死人那里去了.

9:4 Whoever is joined to all the living has hope. After all, even a live dog is better than a dead lion!
与一切活人相连的, 那人还有指望, 因为活着的狗比死了的狮子更强.

9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything. They no longer have a reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten.
活着的人知道必死; 死了的人毫无所知, 也不再得赏赐; 他们的名无人记念.

9:6 What they loved and hated, as well as what they desired, has already perished. They no longer have any share in what is done under the sun.
他们的爱, 他们的恨, 他们的嫉妒, 早都消灭了. 在日光之下所行的一切事上, 他们永不再有分了.

9:7 Go—eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart! For God already has approved your deeds.
你只管去欢欢喜喜吃你的饭, 心中快乐喝你的酒, 因为神已经悦纳你的作为.

9:8 Always be clothed in white garments, and never let your head lack oil!
你的衣服当时常洁白, 你头上也不要缺少膏油.

9:9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which he gives you under the sun, because this is your lot in life and in the toil with which you toil under the sun.
在你一生虚空的年日, 就是神赐你在日光之下虚空的年日, 当同你所爱的妻, 快活度日, 因为那是你生前在日光之下劳碌的事上所得的分.

9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do—do it with all your might; for in Sheol—where you are going—no one works, plans, knows, or thinks about anything.
凡你手所当做的事要尽力去做; 因为在你所必去的阴间没有工作, 没有谋算, 没有知识, 也没有智慧.

9:11 I looked again and saw under the sun that the race does not belong to the swift, the battle does not belong to the mighty, food does not belong to the wise, wealth does not belong to the intelligent, and success does not belong to the skillful, for time and chance befalls all of them.
我又转念: 见日光之下, 快跑的未必能赢; 力战的未必得胜; 智慧的未必得粮食; 明哲的未必得资财; 灵巧的未必得喜悦. 所临到众人的是在乎当时的机会.

9:12 For man does not know his time. Just as fish are caught in a cruel net and like birds who are seized in a snare, so also humans are ensnared at a cruel time when it falls suddenly upon them.
原来人也不知道自己的定期. 鱼被恶网圈住, 鸟被网罗捉住, 祸患忽然临到的时候, 世人陷在其中也是如此.

9:13 I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me.
我见日光之下有一样智慧, 据我看乃是广大,

9:14 There was a small city with few people in it. A great king came and besieged it, building great siege works against it.
就是有一小城, 其中的人数稀少, 有大君王来攻击, 修筑营垒, 将城围困.

9:15 Now, a poor wise man was found in it, and he delivered the city by his wisdom.
城中有一个贫穷的智慧人, 他用智慧救了那城, 却没有人记念那穷人.

9:16 So I concluded that wisdom is better than might, yet the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.
我就说, 智慧胜过勇力; 然而那贫穷人的智慧被人藐视, 他的话也无人听从.

9:17 The words of the wise are heard in peace more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among the fools.
宁可在安静之中听智慧人的言语, 不听掌管愚昧人的喊声.

9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
智慧胜过打仗的兵器; 但一个罪人能败坏许多善事.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 10

10:1 Dead flies cause a bad smell and ruin the ointment of the perfumer. So also a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to his right, but the heart of the fool inclines to his left.
智慧人的心居右; 愚昧人的心居左.

我见过仆人骑马, 王子像仆人在地上步行.

10:8 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it. Whoever breaks through a wall, a snake will bite him.
挖陷坑的, 自己必掉在其中; 拆墙垣的, 必为蛇所咬.

10:9 Whoever quarries stones will be wounded by them. Whoever splits logs will be endangered by them.
凿开(或译: 挪移)石头的, 必受损伤; 劈开木头的, 必遭危险.

10:10 If the ax is blunt but one does not sharpen its edge, he must exert more effort, but the advantage of wisdom is it brings success.
铁器钝了, 若不将刃磨快, 就必多费气力; 但得智慧指教, 便有益处.

10:11 If the snake bites before the charming, the snake charmer will not succeed.
未行法术以先, 蛇若咬人, 后行法术也是无益.

10:12 The wise man wins favor by the words of his mouth, but the fool is devoured by his own lips.
智慧人的口说出恩言; 愚昧人的嘴吞灭自己.

10:13 He begins by saying what is foolish and ends by uttering what is wicked delusion.
他口中的言语起头是愚昧; 他话的末尾是奸恶的狂妄.

10:14 The fool talks too much, for no one knows what will be. Who can tell anyone what will happen in the future?
愚昧人多有言语, 人却不知将来有甚么事; 他身后的事谁能告诉他呢?

10:15 The fool is so worn out by a hard day’s work he cannot even find his way home at night.
凡愚昧人, 他的劳碌使自己困乏, 因为连进城的路, 他也不知道.

10:16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a youth and your princes feast in the morning.
邦国啊, 你的王若是孩童, 你的群臣早晨宴乐, 你就有祸了!

10:17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is a son of nobility and your princes feast at the proper time— to gain strength and not to get drunk.
邦国啊, 你的王若是贵冑之子, 你的群臣按时吃喝, 为要补力, 不为酒醉, 你就有福了!

10:18 Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through idleness of hands the house leaks.
因人懒惰, 房顶塌下; 因人手懒, 房屋滴漏.

10:19 Feasts are held for celebration, wine cheers the living, and money answers everything.
设摆筵席是为喜笑. 酒能使人快活; 钱能叫万事应心.

10:20 Do not curse the king even in your thoughts, and do not curse the rich even in your own bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice; a winged messenger may repeat your words.
你不可咒诅君王, 也不可心怀此念; 在你卧房也不可咒诅富户. 因为空中的鸟必传扬这声音, 有翅膀的也必述说这事.

11:1 Send out your bread on the water, for in many days you will find it.

11:4 Whoever watches the wind will not sow; whoever watches the clouds will not reap.

风从何道来, 骨头在怀孕妇人的胎中如何长成, 你尚且不得知道; 这样, 行万事之神的作为, 你更不得知道.

人活多年, 就当快乐多年; 然而也当想到黑暗的日子. 因为这日子必多, 所要来的都是虚空.

不要等到日头,光明,月亮,星宿变为黑暗, 雨后云彩反回,

12:3 When the guards of the house tremble, and the men of strength are bent; the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows see dimly.
看守房屋的发颤, 有力的屈身, 推磨的稀少就止息, 从窗户往外看的都昏暗;

12:4 When the doors on the street are shut, when the sound of the grinding mill is low; one rises up to the sound of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low.
街门关闭, 推磨的响声微小, 雀鸟一叫, 人就起来, 唱歌的女子也都衰微.

12:5 They are afraid of heights, and terrors are on the road. The almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper draws itself along, and desire fails because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about in the streets.
人怕高处, 路上有惊慌, 杏树开花, 蚱蜢成为重担, 人所愿的也都废掉; 因为人归他永远的家, 吊丧的在街上往来.

再者, 传道者因有智慧, 仍将知识教训众人; 又默想, 又考查, 又陈说许多箴言.

12:10 The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and he wrote what is upright—truthful words.
传道者专心寻求可喜悦的言语, 是凭正直写的诚实话.

12:11 The words of the wise are like cattle goads; the collections of the sages are like pricks inflicted by one shepherd.
智慧人的言语好像刺棍; 会中之师的言语又像钉稳的钉子, 都是一个牧者所赐的.

12:12 My son, be careful about anything beyond these things. For the writing of books is endless, and too much study is wearisome.
我儿, 还有一层, 你当受劝戒: 著书多, 没有穷尽; 读书多, 身体疲倦.

因为人所做的事, 连一切隐藏的事, 无论是善是恶, 神都必审问.

不要因日头把我晒黑了就轻看我. 我同母的弟兄向我发怒, 他们使我看守葡萄园; 我自己的葡萄园却没有看守.

我心所爱的啊, 求你告诉我, 你在何处牧羊? 晌午在何处使羊歇卧? 我何必在你同伴的羊群旁边好像蒙着脸的人呢?

我的鸽子啊, 你在磐石穴中, 在陡岩的隐密处. 求你容我得见你的面貌, 得听你的声音; 因为你的声音柔和, 你的面貌秀美.

2:15 Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes destroying vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom!
要给我们擒拿狐狸, 就是毁坏葡萄园的小狐狸, 因为我们的葡萄正在开花.

耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 我指著羚羊或田野的母鹿嘱咐你们: 不要惊动,不要叫醒我所亲爱的, 等他自己情愿(不要叫醒……情愿: 或译不要激动爱情, 等它自发).

耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 我嘱咐你们: 若遇见我的良人, 要告诉他, 我因思爱成病.

5:9 How is your beloved better than another lover, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another lover, that you adjure us thus?
你这女子中极美丽的, 你的良人比别人的良人有何强处? 你的良人比别人的良人有何强处, 你就这样嘱咐我们?

5:10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.
我的良人白而且红, 超乎万人之上.

5:11 His head is gold, refined gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven.

他的眼如溪水旁的鸽子眼, 用奶洗净, 安得合式.

5:13 His cheeks are like beds of spice, a tower of fragrances; his lips are lilies dripping liquid myrrh.
他的两腮如香花畦, 如香草台; 他的嘴唇像百合花, 且滴下没药汁.

5:14 His arms are rods of gold engraved with jewels; his belly is polished ivory covered with sapphires.
他的两手好像金管, 镶嵌水苍玉; 他的身体如同雕刻的象牙, 周围镶嵌蓝宝石.

5:15 His legs are columns of alabaster, set on bases of gold; his appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
他的腿好像白玉石柱, 安在精金座上; 他的形状如黎巴嫩, 且佳美如香柏树.

5:16 His mouth is sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved; this is my friend, O young women of Jerusalem.
他的口极其甘甜; 他全然可爱. 耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 这是我的良人; 这是我的朋友.

Song of Solomon - Chapter 6

6:1 Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned that we may seek him with you?
你这女子中极美丽的, 你的良人往何处去了? 你的良人转向何处去了, 我们好与你同去寻找他.

6:5 Turn away your eyes from before me, for they overwhelm me. Your hair is like a flock of the goats that moves down from Gilead.
求你掉转眼目不看我, 因你的眼目使我惊乱. 你的头发如同山羊群卧在基列山旁.

6:6 Your teeth are like a flock of the ewes that have come up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none bereaved among them.
你的牙齿如一群母羊洗净上来, 个个都有双生, 没有一只丧掉子的.

有六十王后八十妃嫔, 并有无数的童女.

6:9 My dove, she is the one; my perfect, she is the only one; she is the favorite of her mother who bore her. Maidens see her and consider her fortunate; queens and concubines praise her:
我的鸽子, 我的完全人, 只有这一个是她母亲独生的, 是生养她者所宝爱的. 众女子见了就称她有福; 王后妃嫔见了也赞美她.

6:10 “Who is this that looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, overwhelming as an army with banners?”
那向外观看,如晨光发现,美丽如月亮,皎洁如日头,威武如展开旌旗军队的是谁呢?

6:11 I went down to the orchard of the walnut trees to look at the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vines have sprouted, whether the pomegranates have blossomed.
我下入核桃园, 要看谷中青绿的植物, 要看葡萄发芽没有, 石榴开花没有.

6:12 I did not know my heart set me in a chariot of my princely people.
不知不觉, 我的心将我安置在我尊长的车中.

6:13 Turn, turn, O Shulammite! Turn, turn so that we may look upon you! Why do you look upon the Shulammite as at a dance of the two armies?
回来, 回来, 书拉密女; 你回来, 你回来, 使我们得观看你. 你们为何要观看书拉密女, 像观看玛哈念跳舞的呢?

Song of Solomon - Chapter 7

7:1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O royal princess! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a craftsman.
王女啊, 你的脚在鞋中何其美好! 你的大腿圆润, 好像美玉, 是巧匠的手做成的.

你的颈项如象牙台; 你的眼目像希实本,巴特‧拉并门旁的水池; 你的鼻子仿佛朝大马士革的黎巴嫩塔.

你的头在你身上好像迦密山; 你头上的发是紫黑色; 王的心因这下垂的发绺系住了.

我所爱的, 你何其美好! 何其可悦, 使人欢畅喜乐!

7:7 Your stature is like the palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters.
你的身量好像棕树; 你的两乳如同其上的果子, 累累下垂.

7:8 I say, “I will climb up the palm tree; I will lay hold of its fruit clusters.” Let your breasts be pleasing like clusters of the vine and the scent of your breath like the apples.
我说: 我要上这棕树, 抓住枝子. 愿你的两乳好像葡萄累累下垂, 你鼻子的气味香如苹果;

7:9 Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved, smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.
你的口如上好的酒. 女子说: 为我的良人下咽舒畅, 流入睡觉人的嘴中.

我们早晨起来往葡萄园去, 看看葡萄发芽开花没有, 石榴放蕊没有; 我在那里要将我的爱情给你.

Song of Solomon - Chapter 8

8:1 How I wish that you were my little brother, who nursed upon my mother’s breasts! If I met you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me!
巴不得你像我的兄弟, 像吃我母亲奶的兄弟; 我在外头遇见你就与你亲嘴, 谁也不轻看我.

8:2 I would surely bring you to the house of my mother, who would surely teach me; I would give you spiced wine to drink, the sweet wine of my pomegranates.
我必引导你, 领你进我母亲的家; 我可以领受教训, 也就使你喝石榴汁酿的香酒.

8:3 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
他的左手必在我头下; 他的右手必将我抱住.

8:4 I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem, do not arouse or awaken love until it pleases!
耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 我嘱咐你们: 不要惊动,不要叫醒我所亲爱的, 等他自己情愿(不要叫醒……情愿: 或译不要激动爱情, 等它自发).

8:5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you; there your mother conceived you; there she who was in labor gave birth to you.
那靠着良人从旷野上来的是谁呢? 我在苹果树下叫醒你. 你母亲在那里为你劬劳; 生养你的在那里为你劬劳.

8:6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; passion is fierce as Sheol; its flashes are flashes of fire; it is a blazing flame.
求你将我放在你心上如印记, 带在你臂上如戳记. 因为爱情如死之坚强, 嫉恨如阴间之残忍; 所发的电光是火焰的电光, 是耶和华的烈焰.

8:7 Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
爱情, 众水不能息灭, 大水也不能淹没. 若有人拿家中所有的财宝要换爱情, 就全被藐视.

8:8 We have a little sister, and she does not yet have any breasts. What should we do for our sister on the day when she is betrothed?
我们有一小妹; 她的两乳尚未长成, 人来提亲的日子, 我们当为她怎样办理?

8:9 If she is a wall, we will adorn her with a turret of silver; but if she is a door, we will barricade her with boards of cedar.
她若是墙, 我们要在其上建造银塔; 她若是门, 我们要用香柏木板围护她.

8:10 I was a wall, and my breasts were like the towers, so my betrothed viewed me with great delight.
我是墙; 我两乳像其上的楼. 那时, 我在他眼中像得平安的人.

8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he entrusted his vineyard to the keepers; people paid a thousand silver pieces for its fruit.
所罗门在巴力‧哈们有一葡萄园; 他将这葡萄园交给看守的人, 为其中的果子必交一千舍客勒银子.

8:12 My own “vineyard” belongs to me; the “thousand” are for you, O Solomon, and “two hundred” for those who tend its fruit.
我自己的葡萄园在我面前. 所罗门哪, 一千舍客勒归你, 二百舍客勒归看守果子的人.

8:13 O you who dwell in the garden, my companions are listening to your voice. Let me hear it!
你这住在园中的, 同伴都要听你的声音, 求你使我也得听见.

8:14 Flee, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the perfumed mountains!
我的良人哪, 求你快来! 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上.

Isaiah (以赛亚书)

Isaiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
当乌西雅,约坦,亚哈斯,希西家作犹大王的时候, 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示, 论到犹大和耶路撒冷.

1:2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth, for Yahweh has spoken: “I reared children and I brought them up, but they rebelled against me.
天哪, 要听! 地啊, 侧耳而听! 因为耶和华说: 我养育儿女, 将他们养大, 他们竟悖逆我.

1:3 An ox knows its owner and a donkey the manger of its master. Israel does not know; my people do not understand.
牛认识主人, 驴认识主人的槽, 以色列却不认识; 我的民却不留意.

1:4 Ah, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh; they have despised the holy one of Israel. They are estranged and gone backward.
嗐! 犯罪的国民, 担著罪孽的百姓; 行恶的种类, 败坏的儿女! 他们离弃耶和华, 藐视以色列的圣者, 与他生疏, 往后退步.

1:5 Why do you want to be beaten again? You continue in rebellion. The whole of the head is sick, and the whole of the heart is faint.
你们为甚么屡次悖逆, 还要受责打吗? 你们已经满头疼痛, 全心发昏.

1:6 From the sole of the foot and up to the head there is no health in it; bruise and sore and bleeding wound have not been cleansed, and they have not been bound up and not softened with the oil.
从脚掌到头顶, 没有一处完全的, 尽是伤口,青肿, 与新打的伤痕, 都没有收口, 没有缠裹, 也没有用膏滋润.

1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; As for your land, aliens are devouring it in your presence, and it is desolate, like devastation by foreigners.
你们的地土已经荒凉; 你们的城邑被火焚毁. 你们的田地在你们眼前为外邦人所侵吞, 既被外邦人倾覆就成为荒凉.

1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a shelter in a cucumber field, like a city that is besieged.
仅存锡安城(原文是女子), 好像葡萄园的草棚, 瓜田的茅屋, 被围困的城邑.

1:9 If Yahweh of hosts had not left us survivors, we would have been as few as Sodom, we would have become like Gomorrah.
若不是万军之耶和华给我们稍留余种, 我们早已像所多玛,蛾摩拉的样子了.

1:10 Hear the word of Yahweh, rulers of Sodom! Listen to the teaching of our God, people of Gomorrah!
你们这所多玛的官长啊, 要听耶和华的话! 你们这蛾摩拉的百姓啊, 要侧耳听我们神的训诲!

1:11 What is the abundance of your sacrifices to me? says Yahweh. I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened animals and I do not delight in the blood of bulls and ram-lambs and goats.
耶和华说: 你们所献的许多祭物与我何益呢? 公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油, 我已经够了; 公牛的血, 羊羔的血, 公山羊的血, 我都不喜悦.

1:12 When you come to appear before me, who asked for this from your hand: you trampling my courts?
你们来朝见我, 谁向你们讨这些, 使你们践踏我的院宇呢?

1:13 You must not continue to bring offerings of futility, incense—it is an abomination to me; new moon and Sabbath, the calling of a convocation— I cannot endure iniquity with solemn assembly.
你们不要再献虚浮的供物. 香品是我所憎恶的; 月朔和安息日, 并宣召的大会, 也是我所憎恶的; 作罪孽, 又守严肃会, 我也不能容忍.

1:14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become to me like a burden, I am not able to bear them.
你们的月朔和节期, 我心里恨恶, 我都以为麻烦; 我担当, 便不耐烦.

1:15 And when you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not be listening. Your hands are full of blood.
你们举手祷告, 我必遮眼不看; 就是你们多多地祈祷, 我也不听. 你们的手都满了杀人的血.

1:16 Wash! Make yourselves clean! Remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes! Cease to do evil!
你们要洗濯,自洁, 从我眼前除掉你们的恶行, 要止住作恶,

1:17 Learn to do good! Seek justice! Rescue the oppressed! Defend the orphan! Plead for the widow!
学习行善, 寻求公平, 解救受欺压的; 给孤儿伸冤, 为寡妇辨屈.

1:18 “Come now, and let us argue,” says Yahweh. “Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; even though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
耶和华说: 你们来, 我们彼此辩论. 你们的罪虽像朱红, 必变成雪白; 虽红如丹颜, 必白如羊毛.

1:19 If you are willing and you are obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
你们若甘心听从, 必吃地上的美物,

1:20 But if you refuse and you rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
若不听从, 反倒悖逆, 必被刀剑吞灭. 这是耶和华亲口说的.

1:21 How has a faithful city become like a whore? Full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
可叹, 忠信的城变为妓女! 从前充满了公平, 公义居在其中, 现今却有凶手居住.

1:22 Your silver has become as dross; Your wine is diluted with waters.
你的银子变为渣滓; 你的酒用水搀对.

1:23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Every one loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not defend the orphan and the legal dispute of the widow does not come before them.
你的官长居心悖逆, 与盗贼作伴, 各都喜爱贿赂, 追求赃私. 他们不为孤儿伸冤; 寡妇的案件也不得呈到他们面前.

1:24 Therefore, the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Ah, I will be relieved of my enemies, and I will avenge myself on my foes.
因此, 主─万军之耶和华,以色列的大能者说: 哎! 我要向我的对头雪恨, 向我的敌人报仇.

1:25 And I will turn my hand against you; I will purify your dross like lye, and I will remove all of your tin.
我必反手加在你身上, 炼尽你的渣滓, 除净你的杂质.

1:26 And I will restore your judges, as at the first, and your counselors, as at the beginning. After this you will be called the city of righteousness, faithful city.
我也必复还你的审判官, 像起初一样, 复还你的谋士, 像起先一般. 然后, 你必称为公义之城, 忠信之邑.

1:27 Zion will be redeemed by justice, and those of her who repent, by righteousness.
锡安必因公平得蒙救赎; 其中归正的人必因公义得蒙救赎.

1:28 But the destruction of rebels and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh will perish.
但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同败亡; 离弃耶和华的必致消灭.

1:29 For you will be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted, and you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen.
那等人必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧; 你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞.

1:30 For you shall be like an oak withering its leaves, and like a garden where there is no water for her.
因为, 你们必如叶子枯干的橡树, 好像无水浇灌的园子.

1:31 And the strong man shall become like tinder, and his work like a spark. And both of them shall burn together, and there is not one to quench them.”
有权势的必如麻瓤; 他的工作好像火星, 都要一同焚毁, 无人扑灭.

Isaiah - Chapter 2

2:1 The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示, 论到犹大和耶路撒冷.

2:2 And it shall happen in the future of the days the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be established; it will be among the highest of the mountains, and it shall be raised from the hills. All of the nations shall travel to him;
末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山必坚立, 超乎诸山, 高举过于万岭; 万民都要流归这山.

2:3 many peoples shall come. And they shall say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob, and may he teach us part of his ways, and let us walk in his paths.” For instruction shall go out from Zion, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
必有许多国的民前往, 说: 来吧, 我们登耶和华的山, 奔雅各神的殿. 主必将他的道教训我们; 我们也要行他的路. 因为训诲必出于锡安; 耶和华的言语必出于耶路撒冷.

2:4 He shall judge between the nations and he shall arbitrate for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. A nation shall not lift up a sword against a nation, and they shall not learn war again.
他必在列国中施行审判, 为许多国民断定是非. 他们要将刀打成犁头, 把枪打成镰刀. 这国不举刀攻击那国; 他们也不再学习战事.

2:5 House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
雅各家啊, 来吧! 我们在耶和华的光明中行走.

2:6 For you have forsaken your people, house of Jacob, because they are full from the east, and of soothsayers like the Philistines, and they make alliances with the offspring of foreigners.
耶和华, 你离弃了你百姓雅各家, 是因他们充满了东方的风俗, 作观兆的, 像非利士人一样, 并与外邦人击掌.

2:7 And its land is filled with silver and gold, and there is no end to its treasures; and its land is filled with horses, and there is no end to its chariots.
他们的国满了金银, 财宝也无穷; 他们的地满了马匹, 车辆也无数.

2:8 Its land is filled with idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what they made with their fingers.
他们的地满了偶像; 他们跪拜自己手所造的, 就是自己指头所做的.

2:9 So humanity is humbled; everyone is humbled, and you must not forgive them.
卑贱人屈膝; 尊贵人下跪; 所以不可饶恕他们.

2:10 Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty.
你当进入岩穴, 藏在土中, 躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光.

2:11 The haughty eyes of humanity will be brought low, and the pride of everyone will be humbled, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
到那日, 眼目高傲的必降为卑; 性情狂傲的都必屈膝; 惟独耶和华被尊崇.

2:12 For there is a day for Yahweh of hosts against all of the proud and the lofty and against all that is lifted up and humble,
必有万军耶和华降罚的一个日子, 要临到骄傲狂妄的; 一切自高的都必降为卑;

2:13 and against all the lofty and lifted up cedars of Lebanon, and against all the large trees of Bashan,
又临到黎巴嫩高大的香柏树和巴珊的橡树;

2:14 and against all the high mountains, and against all the lofty hills,
又临到一切高山的峻岭;

2:15 and against every kind of high tower, and against every kind of fortified wall,
又临到高台和坚固城墙;

2:16 and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all the ships of desire.
又临到他施的船只并一切可爱的美物.

2:17 And the haughtiness of the people shall be humbled, and the pride of everyone shall be brought low, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
骄傲的必屈膝; 狂妄的必降卑. 在那日, 惟独耶和华被尊崇;

2:18 And the idols shall pass away entirely,
偶像必全然废弃.

2:19 and they will enter into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the ground from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty when he rises to terrify the earth.
耶和华兴起, 使地大震动的时候, 人就进入石洞, 进入土穴, 躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光.

2:20 On that day humanity will throw away its idols of silver and its idols of gold, which they made for it to worship, to the rodents and to the bats—
到那日, 人必将为拜而造的金偶像,银偶像抛给田鼠和蝙蝠.

2:21 to enter into the crevices of the rocks and into the clefts of the crags from the presence of the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
到耶和华兴起, 使地大震动的时候, 人好进入磐石洞中和岩石穴里, 躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光.

2:22 Turn away from humanity, who has breath in its nostrils, for by what is it esteemed?
你们休要倚靠世人. 他鼻孔里不过有气息; 他在一切事上可算甚么呢?

Isaiah - Chapter 3

3:1 For look, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is removing every source of support from Jerusalem and from Judah: all of the supplies of bread and all of the supplies of water,
主─万军之耶和华从耶路撒冷和犹大, 除掉众人所倚靠的, 所仗赖的, 就是所倚靠的粮, 所仗赖的水;

3:2 mighty warrior and man of war, judge and prophet, and diviner and elder,
除掉勇士和战士, 审判官和先知, 占卜的和长老,

3:3 captain of fifty and the honorable men of rank, and counselor and skillful magicians and skillful enchanter.
五十夫长和尊贵人, 谋士和有巧艺的, 以及妙行法术的.

3:4 And I will make boys their princes, and children shall rule over them.
主说: 我必使孩童作他们的首领, 使婴孩辖管他们.

3:5 And the people will be oppressed by each other and a man by his neighbor. The boy will act arrogantly toward the elder, and the dishonorable toward the honorable.
百姓要彼此欺压; 各人受邻舍的欺压. 少年人必侮慢老年人; 卑贱人必侮慢尊贵人.

3:6 Indeed, a man will seize his brother in the house of his father: “You have a cloak; you shall be a leader for us, and this heap of ruins shall be under your hand!”
人在父家拉住弟兄, 说: 你有衣服, 可以作我们的官长. 这败落的事归在你手下吧!

3:7 He will lift up his voice on that day, saying, “I will not be a healer; in my house there is no bread and there is no cloak. You shall not make me the leader of the people!”
那时, 他必扬声说: 我不作医治你们的人; 因我家中没有粮食, 也没有衣服, 你们不可立我作百姓的官长.

3:8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen because their speech and their deeds are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
耶路撒冷败落, 犹大倾倒; 因为他们的舌头和行为与耶和华反对, 惹了他荣光的眼目.

3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them and they declare their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have dealt out evil to themselves.
他们的面色证明自己的不正; 他们述说自己的罪恶, 并不隐瞒, 好像所多玛一样. 他们有祸了! 因为作恶自害.

3:10 Tell the innocent that it is good for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
你们要论义人说: 他必享福乐, 因为要吃自己行为所结的果子.

3:11 Woe to the wicked! It is bad! For what is done by his hands will be done to him.
恶人有祸了! 他必遭灾难! 因为要照自己手所行的受报应.

3:12 My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, your leaders are misleading you, and they confuse the course of your paths.
至于我的百姓, 孩童欺压他们, 妇女辖管他们. 我的百姓啊, 引导你的使你走错, 并毁坏你所行的道路.

3:13 Yahweh takes his stand to conduct a legal case and takes his stand to judge the peoples.
耶和华起来辩论, 站着审判众民.

3:14 Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of his people and its princes. “And you! You have devoured the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses!
耶和华必审问他民中的长老和首领, 说: 吃尽葡萄园果子的就是你们; 向贫穷人所夺的都在你们家中.

3:15 Why do you crush my people and grind the face of the poor?” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
主─万军之耶和华说: 你们为何压制我的百姓, 搓磨贫穷人的脸呢?

3:16 And Yahweh said: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and they walk with outstretched neck, and they give flirting glances with their eyes, mincing along as they go, and with their feet they rattle their bangles,
耶和华又说: 因为锡安的女子狂傲, 行走挺项, 卖弄眼目, 俏步徐行, 脚下玎珰,

3:17 the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion scabby, and Yahweh will lay their foreheads bare.”
所以, 主必使锡安的女子头长秃疮; 耶和华又使她们赤露下体.

3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets and the headbands and the crescent necklaces,
到那日, 主必除掉她们华美的脚钏,发网,月牙圈,

3:19 the pendants and the bracelets and the veils,
耳环,手镯,蒙脸的帕子,

3:20 the headdresses and the armlets and the sashes, and the perfume boxes and the amulets,
华冠,足炼,华带,香盒,符囊,

3:21 the signet rings and the nose rings,
戒指,鼻环,

Isaiah - Chapter 4

4:1 And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread, and we will wear our own clothing; only let us be called by your name! Take away our disgrace!”
在那日, 七个女人必拉住一个男人, 说: “我们吃自己的食物, 穿自己的衣服, 但求你许我们归你名下; 求你除掉我们的羞耻. ”

4:2 On that day the branch of Yahweh shall become beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall become the pride and glory of the survivors of Israel.
到那日, 耶和华发生的苗必华美尊荣, 地的出产必为以色列逃脱的人显为荣华茂盛.

4:3 And this shall happen: He who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone written for life in Jerusalem,
主以公义的灵和焚烧的灵, 将锡安女子的污秽洗去, 又将耶路撒冷中杀人的血除净. 那时, 剩在锡安,留在耶路撒冷的, 就是一切住耶路撒冷,在生命册上记名的, 必称为圣.

4:4 when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the blood of Jerusalem from her midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning.

4:5 Then Yahweh will create over all of the site of Mount Zion and over her assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the brightness of flaming fire by night. Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy,
耶和华也必在锡安全山, 并各会众以上, 使白日有烟云, 黑夜有火焰的光. 因为在全荣耀之上必有遮蔽.

4:6 and it will be a shelter for shade from the heat by day, and a refuge and a hiding place from rainstorm and from rain.
必有亭子, 白日可以得荫避暑, 也可以作为藏身之处, 躲避狂风暴雨.

Isaiah - Chapter 5

5:1 Let me sing for my beloved a song of my love concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
我要为我所亲爱的唱歌, 是我所爱者的歌, 论他葡萄园的事: 我所亲爱的有葡萄园在肥美的山冈上.

5:2 And he dug it and cleared it of stones, and he planted it with choice vines, and he built a watchtower in the middle of it, and he even hewed out a wine vat in it, and he waited for it to yield grapes— but it yielded wild grapes.
他刨挖园子, 捡去石头, 栽种上等的葡萄树, 在园中盖了一座楼, 又凿出压酒池; 指望结好葡萄, 反倒结了野葡萄.

5:3 And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人哪, 请你们现今在我与我的葡萄园中, 断定是非.

5:4 What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why did I hope for it to yield grapes, and it yielded wild grapes?
我为我葡萄园所做之外, 还有甚么可做的呢? 我指望结好葡萄, 怎么倒结了野葡萄呢?

5:5 And now let me tell you what I myself am about to do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall become a devastation. I will break down its wall, and it shall become a trampling.
现在我告诉你们, 我要向我葡萄园怎样行: 我必撤去篱笆, 使它被吞灭, 拆毁墙垣, 使它被践踏.

5:6 And I will make it a wasteland; it shall not be pruned and hoed, and it shall be overgrown with briers and thornbushes. And concerning the clouds, I will command them not to send rain down upon it.
我必使它荒废, 不再修理, 不再锄刨, 荆棘蒺藜倒要生长. 我也必命云不降雨在其上.

5:7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel, and the man of Judah is the plantation of his delight. And he waited for justice, but look! Bloodshed! For righteousness, but look! A cry of distress!
万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家; 他所喜爱的树就是犹大人. 他指望的是公平, 谁知倒有暴虐(或译: 倒流人血); 指望的是公义, 谁知倒有冤声.

5:8 Ah! Those who join house with house, they join field together with field until there is no place and you are caused to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
祸哉! 那些以房接房, 以地连地, 以致不留余地的, 只顾自己独居境内.

5:9 Yahweh of hosts said in my ears: Surely many houses shall become a desolation, large and beautiful ones without inhabitant.
我耳闻万军之耶和华说: 必有许多又大又美的房屋成为荒凉, 无人居住.

5:10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer will yield an ephah.
三十亩葡萄园只出一罢特酒; 一贺梅珥谷种只结一伊法粮食.

5:11 Ah! Those who rise early in the morning, they pursue strong drink. Those who linger in the evening, wine inflames them.
祸哉! 那些清早起来追求浓酒, 留连到夜深, 甚至因酒发烧的人.

5:12 And there will be lyre and harp, tambourine and flute, and wine at their feasts, but they do not look at the deeds of Yahweh, and they do not see the work of his hands.
他们在筵席上弹琴, 鼓瑟, 击鼓, 吹笛, 饮酒, 却不顾念耶和华的作为, 也不留心他手所做的.

5:13 Therefore my people will go into exile without knowledge, and their nobles will be men of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst.
所以, 我的百姓因无知就被掳去; 他们的尊贵人甚是饥饿, 群众极其干渴.

5:14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat, and it has opened wide its mouth without limit, and her nobles will go down, and her multitude, her tumult and those who revel in her.
故此, 阴间扩张其欲, 开了无限量的口; 他们的荣耀,群众,繁华, 并快乐的人都落在其中.

5:15 And humankind is bowed down, and man is brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humiliated.
卑贱人被压服; 尊贵人降为卑; 眼目高傲的人也降为卑.

5:16 But Yahweh of hosts is exalted by justice, and the holy God shows himself holy by righteousness.
惟有万军之耶和华因公平而崇高; 圣者神因公义显为圣.

5:17 And then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and fatlings, kids will eat among the sites of ruins.
那时, 羊羔必来吃草, 如同在自己的草场; 丰肥人的荒场被游行的人吃尽.

5:18 Ah! Those who drag iniquity along with the cords of falsehood and sin as with rope of the cart,
祸哉! 那些以虚假之细绳牵罪孽的人! 他们又像以套绳拉罪恶,

5:19 those who say, “Let him make haste; let him hurry his work so that we may see it and let it draw near and let the plan of the holy one of Israel come so that we may know it!”
说: 任他急速行, 赶快成就他的作为, 使我们看看; 任以色列圣者所谋划的临近成就, 使我们知道.

5:20 Ah! Those who call evil good and good evil, those who put darkness for light and light for darkness, those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
祸哉! 那些称恶为善, 称善为恶, 以暗为光, 以光为暗, 以苦为甜, 以甜为苦的人.

5:21 Ah! Those who are wise in their own eyes and have understanding in their view!
祸哉! 那些自以为有智慧, 自看为通达的人.

5:22 Ah! Heroes at drinking wine, and men of capability at mixing strong drink!
祸哉! 那些勇于饮酒, 以能力调浓酒的人.

5:23 Those who acquit the guilty because of a bribe and remove the justice of the innocent from him.
他们因受贿赂, 就称恶人为义, 将义人的义夺去.

5:24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will become like the stench, and their blossom will go up like the dust. For they have rejected the instruction of Yahweh of hosts, and they have treated the word of the holy one of Israel with contempt.
火苗怎样吞灭碎秸, 干草怎样落在火焰之中, 照样, 他们的根必像朽物, 他们的花必像灰尘飞腾; 因为他们厌弃万军之耶和华的训诲, 藐视以色列圣者的言语.

5:25 Therefore Yahweh’s wrath was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them, and the mountains quaked, and their corpses were like refuse in the middle of the streets. In all of this his anger has not turned back, and still his hand is stretched out.
所以, 耶和华的怒气向他的百姓发作. 他的手伸出攻击他们, 山岭就震动; 他们的尸首在街市上好像粪土. 虽然如此, 他的怒气还未转消; 他的手仍伸不缩.

5:26 And he will raise a signal for a nation from afar, and he will whistle for it from the end of the earth. And look! It comes quickly, swiftly!
他必竖立大旗, 招远方的国民, 发嘶声叫他们从地极而来; 看哪, 他们必急速奔来.

5:27 None is weary, and none among him stumbles; none slumbers and none sleeps. And no loincloth on his waist is opened, and no thong of his sandals is drawn away.
其中没有疲倦的, 绊跌的; 没有打盹的, 睡觉的; 腰带并不放松, 鞋带也不折断.

5:28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all of his bows are bent. The hoofs of his horses are reckoned like flint, and his wheels like the storm wind.
他们的箭快利, 弓也上了弦. 马蹄算如坚石, 车轮好像旋风.

5:29 His roaring is like the lion, and he roars like young lions. And he growls and seizes his prey, and he carries it off, and not one can rescue it.
他们要吼叫, 像母狮子, 咆哮, 像少壮狮子; 他们要咆哮抓食, 坦然叼去, 无人救回.

5:30 And he will roar over him on that day like the roaring of the sea, and if one looks to the land, look! Darkness! Distress! And the light grows dark with its clouds.
那日, 他们要向以色列人吼叫, 像海浪匉訇; 人若望地, 只见黑暗艰难, 光明在云中变为昏暗.

Isaiah - Chapter 6

6:1 In the year of the death of Uzziah the king, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and raised throne, and the hem of his robe was filling the temple.
当乌西雅王崩的那年, 我见主坐在高高的宝座上. 他的衣裳垂下, 遮满圣殿.

6:2 Seraphs were standing above him. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
其上有撒拉弗侍立, 各有六个翅膀: 用两个翅膀遮脸, 两个翅膀遮脚, 两个翅膀飞翔;

6:3 And the one called to the other and said, “Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory.”
彼此呼喊说: 圣哉! 圣哉! 圣哉! 万军之耶和华; 他的荣光充满全地!

6:4 And the pivots of the thresholds shook from the sound of those who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
因呼喊者的声音, 门槛的根基震动, 殿充满了烟云.

6:5 And I said, “Woe to me! For I am destroyed! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I am living among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the king, Yahweh of hosts!”
那时我说: “祸哉! 我灭亡了! 因为我是嘴唇不洁的人, 又住在嘴唇不洁的民中, 又因我眼见大君王─万军之耶和华. ”

6:6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me, and in his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.
有一撒拉弗飞到我跟前, 手里拿着红炭, 是用火剪从坛上取下来的,

6:7 And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Look! This has touched your lips and has removed your guilt, and your sin is annulled.”
将炭沾我的口, 说: “看哪, 这炭沾了你的嘴, 你的罪孽便除掉, 你的罪恶就赦免了. ”

6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “I am here! Send me!”
我又听见主的声音说: “我可以差遣谁呢? 谁肯为我们去呢? ”我说: “我在这里, 请差遣我! ”

6:9 And he said, “Go and say to this people, ‘Keep on listening and do not comprehend! And keep on looking and do not understand!’
他说: “你去告诉这百姓说: 你们听是要听见, 却不明白; 看是要看见, 却不晓得.

6:10 Make the heart of this people insensitive, and make its ears unresponsive, and shut its eyes so that it may not look with its eyes and listen with its ears and comprehend with its mind and turn back, and it may be healed for him.”
要使这百姓心蒙脂油, 耳朵发沉, 眼睛昏迷; 恐怕眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 便得医治. ”

6:11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities lie wasted without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is ruined and a waste,
我就说: “主啊, 这到几时为止呢? ”他说: 直到城邑荒凉, 无人居住, 房屋空闲无人, 地土极其荒凉.

6:12 and Yahweh sends the people far away, and the abandonment is great in the midst of the land.
并且耶和华将人迁到远方, 在这境内撇下的地土很多.

6:13 And even if only a tenth part remain, again she will be destroyed like a terebinth or like an oak, which although felled, a tree stump remains in them. The seed of holiness will be her tree stump.”
境内剩下的人若还有十分之一, 也必被吞灭, 像栗树,橡树虽被砍伐, 树墩子却仍存留. 这圣洁的种类在国中也是如此.

Isaiah - Chapter 7

7:1 This happened in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah. Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem for warfare against it, but he was not able to fight against it.
乌西雅的孙子,约坦的儿子,犹大王亚哈斯在位的时候, 亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子,以色列王比加上来攻打耶路撒冷, 却不能攻取.

7:2 When it was reported to the house of David, saying “Aram stands by Ephraim,” his heart and the heart of his people shook like the shaking of the trees of the forest because of the wind.
有人告诉大卫家说: “亚兰与以法莲已经同盟. ”王的心和百姓的心就都跳动, 好像林中的树被风吹动一样.

7:3 Then Yahweh said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the washer’s field.
耶和华对以赛亚说: “你和你的儿子施亚雅述出去, 到上池的水沟头, 在漂布地的大路上, 去迎接亚哈斯,

7:4 And you must say to him, ‘Take heed and be quiet! You must not fear, and your heart must not be faint because of these two stumps of smoldering firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.
对他说: ‘你要谨慎安静, 不要因亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子这两个冒烟的火把头所发的烈怒害怕, 也不要心里胆怯.

7:5 Because Aram has plotted evil against you with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
因为亚兰和以法莲, 并利玛利的儿子, 设恶谋害你,

7:6 “Let us go up against Judah and let us tear her apart, and let us lay it open and so bring it unto ourselves, and let us install the son of Tabeel as king in her midst.”
说: 我们可以上去攻击犹大, 扰乱它, 攻破它, 在其中立他比勒的儿子为王.

7:7 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “It shall not stand, and it shall not come to pass.
所以主耶和华如此说: 这所谋的必立不住, 也不得成就.

7:8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin, and in sixty-five years from now Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people.
原来亚兰的首城是大马士革; 大马士革的首领是利汛. (六十五年之内, 以法莲必然破坏, 不再成为国民. )

7:9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not believe then you will not endure.” ’ ”
以法莲的首城是撒马利亚; 撒马利亚的首领是利玛利的儿子. 你们若是不信, 定然不得立稳. ’”

7:10 And Yahweh continued to speak to Ahaz, saying,
耶和华又晓谕亚哈斯说:

7:11 “Ask for a sign for yourself from Yahweh God; make it deep as Sheol or make it high as above.”
“你向耶和华─你的神求一个兆头: 或求显在深处, 或求显在高处. ”

7:12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put Yahweh to the test.”
亚哈斯说: “我不求; 我不试探耶和华. ”

7:13 Then he said, “Hear, house of David! Is it too little for you to make men weary, that you should also make my God weary?
以赛亚说: “大卫家啊, 你们当听! 你们使人厌烦岂算小事, 还要使我的神厌烦吗?

7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look! the virgin is with child and she is about to give birth to a son, and she shall call his name ‘God with us.’
因此, 主自己要给你们一个兆头, 必有童女怀孕生子, 给他起名叫以马内利(就是神与我们同在的意思).

7:15 He shall eat curds and honey until he knows to reject the evil and to choose the good.
到他晓得弃恶择善的时候, 他必吃奶油与蜂蜜.

7:16 For before the boy knows to reject the evil and to choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be abandoned.
因为在这孩子还不晓得弃恶择善之先, 你所憎恶的那二王之地必致见弃.

7:17 “Yahweh will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your ancestor days that have not come since the day Ephraim departed from Judah: the king of Assyria.”
耶和华必使亚述王攻击你的日子临到你和你的百姓, 并你的父家, 自从以法莲离开犹大以来, 未曾有这样的日子.

7:18 And this shall happen: On that day, Yahweh will whistle for the fly that is at the end of the stream of Egypt and the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
“那时, 耶和华要发嘶声, 使埃及江河源头的苍蝇和亚述地的蜂子飞来;

7:19 And all of them will come and settle in the rivers of the cliffs and in the clefts of the rocks and on all of the thornbushes and watering places.
都必飞来, 落在荒凉的谷内,磐石的穴里, 和一切荆棘篱笆中, 并一切的草场上.

7:20 On that day, the Lord will shave the head and the hair of the feet with a razor of the one hired from beyond the river—with the king of Assyria—and it will even take off the beard.
“那时, 主必用大河外赁的剃头刀, 就是亚述王, 剃去头发和脚上的毛, 并要剃净胡须.

7:21 And this shall happen: on that day, a young man will keep a young cow of the herd and two sheep alive.
“那时, 一个人要养活一只母牛犊, 两只母绵羊;

7:22 And this shall happen: because of the abundance of milk production, he will eat curds, for every one that is left in the midst of the land will eat curds and honey.
因为出的奶多, 他就得吃奶油, 在境内所剩的人都要吃奶油与蜂蜜.

7:23 And this shall happen on that day: Every place where there are a thousand vines for a thousand silver pieces will become briers, and it will be thornbushes.
“从前, 凡种一千棵葡萄树,值银一千舍客勒的地方, 到那时必长荆棘和蒺藜.

7:24 One will go there with arrows and bow, for all of the land will be briers and thornbushes.
人上那里去, 必带弓箭, 因为遍地满了荆棘和蒺藜.

7:25 And as for all of the hills that they hoed with the hoe, you will not go there, for fear of briers and thornbushes. And it will become like pastureland for cattle and overtrodden land for sheep.
所有用锄刨挖的山地, 你因怕荆棘和蒺藜, 不敢上那里去; 只可成了放牛之处, 为羊践踏之地. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 8

8:1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take yourself a large tablet and write on it with a common stylus pen: Maher-Halal-Hash-Baz.
耶和华对我说: “你取一个大牌, 拿人所用的笔(或译: 人常用的字), 写上‘玛黑珥‧沙拉勒‧哈施‧罢斯’(就是掳掠速临,抢夺快到的意思).

8:2 And I will require reliable witnesses as a witness for me: Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
我要用诚实的见证人, 祭司乌利亚和耶比利家的儿子撒迦利亚记录这事. ”

8:3 And I approached the prophetess, and she conceived, and she gave birth to a son. And Yahweh said to me, “Call his name Maher-Halal-Hash-Baz.
我─以赛亚与妻子(原文是女先知)同室; 她怀孕生子, 耶和华就对我说: “给他起名叫玛黑珥‧沙拉勒‧哈施‧罢斯;

8:4 For before the boy knows to call ‘my father’ and ‘my mother,’ one will carry away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria in the presence of the king of Assyria.”
因为在这小孩子不晓得叫父叫母之先, 大马士革的财宝和撒马利亚的掳物必在亚述王面前搬了去. ”

8:5 And Yahweh continued to speak to me again, saying,
耶和华又晓谕我说:

8:6 “Because this people has refused the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoices over Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
“这百姓既厌弃西罗亚缓流的水, 喜悦利汛和利玛利的儿子;

8:7 therefore look! The Lord is bringing up the waters of the great and mighty river against them, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And he will rise above all his channels, and he will flow over all his banks.
因此, 主必使大河翻腾的水猛然冲来, 就是亚述王和他所有的威势, 必漫过一切的水道, 涨过两岸;

8:8 And he will sweep into Judah; he will overflow and he will flood up to the neck. He will reach, and he will spread his wings out over your entire land, God with us.”
必冲入犹大, 涨溢泛滥, 直到颈项. 以马内利啊, 他展开翅膀, 遍满你的地. ”

8:9 Be broken, you peoples, and be dismayed. And listen, all distant parts of the earth; gird yourselves and be dismayed; gird yourselves and be dismayed!
列国的人民哪, 任凭你们喧嚷, 终必破坏; 远方的众人哪, 当侧耳而听! 任凭你们束起腰来, 终必破坏; 你们束起腰来, 终必破坏.

8:10 Make a plan, but it will be frustrated! Speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us!
任凭你们同谋, 终归无有; 任凭你们言定, 终不成立; 因为神与我们同在.

8:11 For Yahweh said this to me while his hand weighed heavily on me, and he warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
耶和华以大能的手, 指教我不可行这百姓所行的道, 对我这样说:

8:12 “You must not call conspiracy everything that this people calls conspiracy, and you must not share its fear, and you must not be in dread.
“这百姓说同谋背叛, 你们不要说同谋背叛. 他们所怕的, 你们不要怕, 也不要畏惧.

8:13 You shall regard Yahweh of hosts as holy, and he is your fear, and he is your dread.
但要尊万军之耶和华为圣, 以他为你们所当怕的, 所当畏惧的.

8:14 And he will become like a sanctuary and a stumbling-stone, and like a stumbling-rock for the two houses of Israel, like a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
他必作为圣所, 却向以色列两家作绊脚的石头, 跌人的磐石; 向耶路撒冷的居民作为圈套和网罗.

8:15 And many shall stumble among them, and they shall fall and they shall be broken, and they shall be ensnared and they shall be caught.”
许多人必在其上绊脚跌倒, 而且跌碎, 并陷入网罗, 被缠住. ”

8:16 Bind up the testimony; seal the teaching among my disciples.
你要卷起律法书, 在我门徒中间封住训诲.

8:17 And I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will await him.
我要等候那掩面不顾雅各家的耶和华; 我也要仰望他.

8:18 Look! I and the children whom Yahweh has given to me are like signs and portents in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, the one who dwells on the mountain of Zion.
看哪, 我与耶和华所给我的儿女, 就是从住在锡安山万军之耶和华来的, 在以色列中作为预兆和奇蹟.

8:19 Now if they tell you, “Consult the ghosts and the spirits, those who chirp and those who mutter. Should not a people consult its gods, the dead on behalf of the living,
有人对你们说: “当求问那些交鬼的和行巫术的, 就是声音绵蛮, 言语微细的. ”你们便回答说: “百姓不当求问自己的神吗? 岂可为活人求问死人呢? ”

8:20 for teaching and for testimony?” surely they who speak like this have no dawn.
人当以训诲和法度为标准; 他们所说的, 若不与此相符, 必不得见晨光.

8:21 And it will pass through it distressed and hungry, and this shall happen: when it is hungry, it will be enraged, and it will curse its king and its gods, and it will face upwar
他们必经过这地, 受艰难, 受饥饿; 饥饿的时候, 心中焦躁, 咒骂自己的君王和自己的神.

8:22 or look to the earth. But look! Distress and darkness, the gloom of affliction! And it will be thrust into darkness!
仰观上天, 俯察下地, 不料, 尽是艰难,黑暗, 和幽暗的痛苦. 他们必被赶入乌黑的黑暗中去.

Isaiah - Chapter 9

9:1 But there will be no gloom for those who were in distress. In former times he treated the land of Zebulun and Naphtali with contempt, but in the future he will honor the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
但那受过痛苦的必不再见幽暗. 从前神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视, 末后却使这沿海的路, 约旦河外, 外邦人的加利利地得着荣耀.

9:2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; light has shined on those who lived in a land of darkness.
在黑暗中行走的百姓看见了大光; 住在死荫之地的人有光照耀他们.

9:3 You have made the nation numerous; you have not made the joy great. They rejoice in your presence as with joy at the harvest, as they rejoice when they divide plunder.
你使这国民繁多, 加增他们的喜乐; 他们在你面前欢喜, 好像收割的欢喜, 像人分掳物那样的快乐.

9:4 For you have shattered the yoke of its burden and the stick of its shoulder, the rod of its oppressor, on the day of Midian.
因为他们所负的重轭和肩头上的杖, 并欺压他们人的棍, 你都已经折断, 好像在米甸的日子一样.

9:5 For every boot that marches and shakes the earth and garment rolled in blood will be for burning—fire fuel.
战士在乱杀之间所穿戴的盔甲, 并那滚在血中的衣服, 都必作为可烧的, 当作火柴.

9:6 For a child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. And the dominion will be on his shoulder, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
因有一婴孩为我们而生; 有一子赐给我们. 政权必担在他的肩头上; 他名称为“奇妙策士,全能的神,永在的父,和平的君”.

9:7 His dominion will grow continually, and to peace there will be no end on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and righteousness now and forever. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
他的政权与平安必加增无穷. 他必在大卫的宝座上治理他的国, 以公平公义使国坚定稳固, 从今直到永远. 万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事.

9:8 The Lord has sent out a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
主使一言入于雅各家, 落于以色列家.

9:9 And all of the people knew it, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria in pride and arrogance of heart, saying,
这众百姓, 就是以法莲和撒马利亚的居民, 都要知道; 他们凭骄傲自大的心说:

9:10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stone. The sycamore-fig trees were felled, but we will replace them with cedars.”
砖墙塌了, 我们却要凿石头建筑; 桑树砍了, 我们却要换香柏树.

9:11 So Yahweh strengthened the adversaries of Rezin against him, and he provoked his enemies—
因此, 耶和华要高举利汛的敌人来攻击以色列, 并要激动以色列的仇敌.

9:12 Aram from the east and Philistines from the west— and they devoured Israel with the whole mouth. He has not turned away his anger in all of this, and his hand is still stretched out.
东有亚兰人, 西有非利士人; 他们张口要吞吃以色列. 虽然如此, 耶和华的怒气还未转消; 他的手仍伸不缩.

9:13 And the people did not turn to the one who struck it, and they did not seek Yahweh of hosts.
这百姓还没有归向击打他们的主, 也没有寻求万军之耶和华.

9:14 So Yahweh cut off head and tail from Israel, palm branch and reed in one day.
因此, 耶和华一日之间必从以色列中剪除头与尾, 棕枝与芦苇─

9:15 Elders and the respectable are the head, and prophets who teach lies are the tail.
长老和尊贵人就是头, 以谎言教人的先知就是尾.

9:16 And the leaders of this people were misleading them, and those who were led were confused.
因为, 引导这百姓的使他们走错了路; 被引导的都必败亡.

9:17 Therefore the Lord did not rejoice over its young men, and he did not have compassion on its orphans and widows, for everyone was godless and an evildoer, and every mouth was speaking folly. In all of this his anger did not turn away, and still his hand is stretched out.
所以, 主必不喜悦他们的少年人, 也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇; 因为, 各人是亵渎的, 是行恶的, 并且各人的口都说愚妄的话. 虽然如此, 耶和华的怒气还未转消; 他的手仍伸不缩.

9:18 For wickedness burned like fire; it consumed brier and thorn. And it kindled the thickets of the forest, and they swirled upward in a column of smoke.
邪恶像火焚烧, 烧灭荆棘和蒺藜, 在稠密的树林中著起来, 就成为烟柱, 旋转上腾.

9:19 The land was burned through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, and the people became like fire fuel. People had no compassion toward each other.
因万军之耶和华的烈怒, 地都烧遍; 百姓成为火柴; 无人怜爱弟兄.

9:20 They devoured on the right but still were hungry and devoured on the left but they were not satisfied. Each one devoured the flesh of his arm,
有人右边抢夺, 仍受饥饿, 左边吞吃, 仍不饱足; 各人吃自己膀臂上的肉.

9:21 Manasseh devoured Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they were against Judah. In all of this his anger has not turned away, and still his hand is stretched out.
玛拿西吞吃(或译: 攻击; 下同)以法莲; 以法莲吞吃玛拿西, 又一同攻击犹大. 虽然如此, 耶和华的怒气还未转消; 他的手仍伸不缩.

Isaiah - Chapter 10

10:1 Ah! Those who decree decrees of evil, and writers who have written harm,
祸哉! 那些设立不义之律例的和记录奸诈之判语的,

10:2 to guide the needy away from legal claims, and to rob the justice from the poor of my people, to make widows their spoil; and they plunder orphans.
为要屈枉穷乏人, 夺去我民中困苦人的理, 以寡妇当作掳物, 以孤儿当作掠物.

10:3 And what will you do at the day of punishment, and at calamity? It comes from afar! To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth,
到降罚的日子, 有灾祸从远方临到, 那时, 你们怎样行呢? 你们向谁逃奔求救呢? 你们的荣耀(或译: 财宝)存留何处呢?

10:4 save that they bow down under the prisoners and fall under the slain? In all of this his anger has not turned away, and still his hand is stretched out.
他们只得屈身在被掳的人以下, 仆倒在被杀的人以下. 虽然如此, 耶和华的怒气还未转消; 他的手仍伸不缩.

10:5 Ah! Assyria, the rod of my anger, and a staff is in their hand: my wrath!
亚述是我怒气的棍, 手中拿我恼恨的杖.

10:6 I send him against a godless nation, and I command him against the people of my wrath, to capture spoil and to carry off plunder, and to make them a trampling place, like the clay of the streets.
我要打发他攻击亵渎的国民, 吩咐他攻击我所恼怒的百姓, 抢财为掳物, 夺货为掠物, 将他们践踏, 像街上的泥土一样.

10:7 But he does not think this, and his heart does not plan this. For it is in his heart to destroy and to cut off not a few nations.
然而, 他不是这样的意思; 他心也不这样打算. 他心里倒想毁灭, 剪除不少的国.

10:8 For he says, “Are not my commanders altogether kings?
他说: 我的臣仆岂不都是王吗?

10:9 Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
迦勒挪岂不像迦基米施吗? 哈马岂不像亚珥拔吗? 撒马利亚岂不像大马士革吗?

10:10 As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols —and their images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
我手已经搆到有偶像的国; 这些国雕刻的偶像过于耶路撒冷和撒马利亚的偶像.

10:11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and its idols what I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
我怎样待撒马利亚和其中的偶像, 岂不照样待耶路撒冷和其中的偶像吗?

10:12 And this shall happen: when the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, “I will punish the arrogance of the king of Assyria and his haughtiness.”
主在锡安山和耶路撒冷成就他一切工作的时候, 主说: “我必罚亚述王自大的心和他高傲眼目的荣耀. ”

10:13 For he says, “I have done it by the strength of my hand and by my wisdom, for I have understanding, and I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and I have plundered their stores, and like a bull I have brought down the inhabitants.
因为他说: 我所成就的事是靠我手的能力和我的智慧, 我本有聪明. 我挪移列国的地界, 抢夺他们所积蓄的财宝; 并且我像勇士, 使坐宝座的降为卑.

10:14 And my hand has found, like a nest, the wealth of the peoples, and like the gathering of forsaken eggs, I myself have gathered all the earth. And there was no fluttering wing or open mouth or chirp.”
我的手搆到列国的财宝, 好像人搆到鸟窝; 我也得了全地, 好像人拾起所弃的雀蛋. 没有动翅膀的; 没有张嘴的, 也没有鸣叫的.

10:15 Does the ax boast against the one who cuts with it, or the saw magnify itself against the one who moves it to and fro? As if a rod should move the one who lifts it! As if a staff should lift up that which is not wood!
斧岂可向用斧砍木的自夸呢? 锯岂可向用锯的自大呢? 好比棍抡起那举棍的, 好比杖举起那非木的人.

10:16 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, will send leanness among his sturdy warriors, and a burning like the burning of fire will burn under his glory.
因此, 主─万军之耶和华必使亚述王的肥壮人变为瘦弱, 在他的荣华之下必有火著起, 如同焚烧一样.

10:17 And the light of Israel will become like a fire, and his holy one like a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
以色列的光必如火; 他的圣者必如火焰. 在一日之间, 将亚述王的荆棘和蒺藜焚烧净尽;

10:18 And he will destroy the glory of his forest and orchard completely, and it will be like the wasting away of one who is sick.
又将他树林和肥田的荣耀全然烧尽, 好像拿军旗的昏过去一样.

10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest will be a small number, and a boy can write them down.
他林中剩下的树必稀少, 就是孩子也能写其数.

10:20 And this shall happen: on that day, the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will not continue to lean on the one who struck it but will lean on Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, in truth.
到那日, 以色列所剩下的和雅各家所逃脱的, 不再倚靠那击打他们的, 却要诚实倚靠耶和华─以色列的圣者.

10:21 A remnant will return— the remnant of Jacob—to the mighty God.
所剩下的, 就是雅各家所剩下的, 必归回全能的神.

10:22 For though your people Israel was like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of it will return. Annihilation is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
以色列啊, 你的百姓虽多如海沙, 惟有剩下的归回. 原来灭绝的事已定, 必有公义施行, 如水涨溢.

10:23 For the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to make a complete destruction and a determined end in the midst of all the earth.
因为主─万军之耶和华在全地之中必成就所定规的结局.

10:24 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh of hosts: “My people who live in Zion, you must not be afraid of Assyria. It beats you with the rod, and it lifts up its staff against you as the Egyptians did.
所以, 主─万军之耶和华如此说: “住锡安我的百姓啊, 亚述王虽然用棍击打你, 又照埃及的样子举杖攻击你, 你却不要怕他.

10:25 My indignation will come to an end in just a very little while, and my anger will be directed to their destruction.”
因为还有一点点时候, 向你们发的忿恨就要完毕, 我的怒气要向他发作, 使他灭亡.

10:26 And Yahweh of hosts is going to swing a whip against him, as when Midian was defeated at the rock of Oreb; and his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift him up as he did in Egypt.
万军之耶和华要兴起鞭来攻击他, 好像在俄立磐石那里杀戮米甸人一样. 耶和华的杖要向海伸出, 把杖举起, 像在埃及一样.

10:27 And this shall happen: on that day, he will remove his burden from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck, and a yoke will be destroyed because of fat.
到那日, 亚述王的重担必离开你的肩头; 他的轭必离开你的颈项; 那轭也必因肥壮的缘故撑断(或译: 因膏油的缘故毁坏). ”

10:28 He has come to Aiath, he has passed through Migron; at Micmash he deposited his baggage.
亚述王来到亚叶, 经过米矶仑, 在密抹安放辎重.

10:29 They crossed over the pass; Geba is a place of overnight lodging for us. Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul has fled.
他们过了隘口, 在迦巴住宿. 拉玛人战兢; 扫罗的基比亚人逃跑.

10:30 Daughter of Gallim, cry out with your voice; Laishah, listen! Anathoth is poor.
迦琳的居民(原文是女子)哪, 要高声呼喊! 莱煞人哪, 须听! 哀哉! 困苦的亚拿突啊.

10:31 Madmenah flees! The inhabitants of Gebim bring themselves into safety!
玛得米那人躲避; 基柄的居民逃遁.

10:32 This day taking a stand at Nob, he will shake his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem.
当那日, 亚述王要在挪伯歇兵, 向锡安女子的山─就是耶路撒冷的山─抡手攻他.

10:33 Look! The Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to lop off the branches with great power, and the towering trees will be felled, and the tall trees will be brought low.
看哪, 主─万军之耶和华以惊吓削去树枝; 长高的必被砍下, 高大的必被伐倒.

10:34 And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with the axe, and Lebanon will fall by the mighty one.
稠密的树林, 他要用铁器砍下; 黎巴嫩的树木必被大能者伐倒.

Isaiah - Chapter 11

11:1 And a shoot will come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from its roots will bear fruit.
从耶西的本(原文是丕)必发一条; 从他根生的枝子必结果实.

11:2 And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him— a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
耶和华的灵必住在他身上, 就是使他有智慧和聪明的灵, 谋略和能力的灵, 知识和敬畏耶和华的灵.

11:3 And his breath is in the fear of Yahweh. And he shall judge not by his eyesight, and he shall rebuke not by what he hears with his ears.
他必以敬畏耶和华为乐; 行审判不凭眼见, 断是非也不凭耳闻;

11:4 But he shall judge the poor with righteousness, and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude. And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips.
却要以公义审判贫穷人, 以正直判断世上的谦卑人, 以口中的杖击打世界, 以嘴里的气杀戮恶人.

11:5 And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
公义必当他的腰带; 信实必当他胁下的带子.

11:6 And a wolf shall stay with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie down with a kid, and a calf and a lion and a fatling together as a small boy leads them.
豺狼必与绵羊羔同居, 豹子与山羊羔同卧; 少壮狮子与牛犊并肥畜同群; 小孩子要牵引牠们.

11:7 And a cow and a bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together. And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle.
牛必与熊同食; 牛犊必与小熊同卧; 狮子必吃草, 与牛一样.

11:8 And an infant shall play over a serpent’s hole, and a toddler shall put his hand on a viper’s hole.

在我圣山的遍处, 这一切都不伤人, 不害物; 因为认识耶和华的知识要充满遍地, 好像水充满洋海一般.

11:10 And this shall happen on that day: the nations shall inquire of the root of Jesse, which shall be standing as a signal to the peoples, and his resting place shall be glorious.
到那日, 耶西的根立作万民的大旗; 外邦人必寻求他, 他安息之所大有荣耀.

11:11 And this shall happen on that day: The Lord will again extend his hand a second time to acquire the remnant of his people that is left, from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coastlands of the sea,
当那日, 主必二次伸手救回自己百姓中所余剩的, 就是在亚述,埃及,巴忒罗,古实,以拦,示拿,哈马, 并众海岛所剩下的.

11:12 and he will raise a signal for the nations. And he will gather the outcasts of Israel, and he will gather the scattered ones of Judah together from the four corners of the earth.
他必向列国竖立大旗, 招回以色列被赶散的人, 又从地的四方聚集分散的犹大人.

11:13 And the jealousy of Ephraim shall depart, and the enemies of Judah shall be cut off. Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not be an enemy of Ephraim.
以法莲的嫉妒就必消散; 扰害犹大的必被剪除. 以法莲必不嫉妒犹大, 犹大也不扰害以法莲.

11:14 But they shall swoop upon the Philistine shoulder, westward. Together they shall plunder the sons of the east. Edom and Moab will be under their command, and the sons of Ammon will be their subjugated people.
他们要向西飞, 扑在非利士人的肩头上(肩头上: 或译西界), 一同掳掠东方人, 伸手按住以东和摩押; 亚扪人也必顺服他们.

11:15 And Yahweh will divide the tongue of the sea of Egypt, and he will wave his hand over the river with his scorching wind; and he will strike it into seven streams, and he will make it passable by foot.
耶和华必使埃及海汊枯干, 抡手用暴热的风使大河分为七条, 令人过去不致湿脚.

11:16 So there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that remains, as there was for Israel when it went up from the land of Egypt.
为主余剩的百姓, 就是从亚述剩下回来的, 必有一条大道, 如当日以色列从埃及地上来一样.

到那日, 你必说: 耶和华啊, 我要称谢你! 因为你虽然向我发怒, 你的怒气却已转消; 你又安慰了我.

13:2 Raise a signal on a bare hill, lift up your voice to them; wave the hand and may they enter the gateways of the noblemen.
应当在净光的山竖立大旗, 向群众扬声招手, 使他们进入贵冑的门.

13:4 A sound, a noise is on the mountains, the likeness of many people! A sound of the roar of the kingdoms, of nations gathering! Yahweh of hosts is mustering an army for battle.
山间有多人的声音, 好像是大国人民. 有许多国的民聚集哄嚷的声音; 这是万军之耶和华点齐军队, 预备打仗.

他们从远方来, 从天边来, 就是耶和华并他恼恨的兵器要毁灭这全地.

13:6 Wail, for the day of Yahweh is near; it will come like destruction from Shaddai!
你们要哀号, 因为耶和华的日子临近了! 这日来到, 好像毁灭从全能者来到.

13:7 Therefore all hands will grow slack, and every human heart will melt,
所以, 人手都必软弱; 人心都必消化.

13:8 and they will be dismayed. Pangs and labor pains will seize them; they will tremble like a woman giving birth. They will stare at one another, their faces flushing.
他们必惊惶悲痛; 愁苦必将他们抓住. 他们疼痛, 好像产难的妇人一样, 彼此惊奇相看, 脸如火焰.

耶和华的日子临到, 必有残忍,忿恨,烈怒, 使这地荒凉, 从其中除灭罪人.

天上的众星群宿都不发光; 日头一出就变黑暗; 月亮也不放光.

人必像被追赶的鹿, 像无人收聚的羊, 各归回本族, 各逃到本土.

13:15 Everyone who is found will be pierced through, and everyone who is carried away will fall by the sword.
凡被仇敌追上的必被刺死; 凡被捉住的必被刀杀.

13:16 And their children will be dashed into pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be raped.
他们的婴孩必在他们眼前摔碎; 他们的房屋必被抢夺; 他们的妻子必被玷污.

13:18 And their bows will shatter young men. And they will not show mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not look compassionately on children.
他们必用弓击碎少年人, 不怜悯妇人所生的, 眼也不顾惜孩子.

13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the splendor of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
巴比伦素来为列国的荣耀, 为迦勒底人所矜夸的华美, 必像神所倾覆的所多玛,蛾摩拉一样.

13:20 It will not be inhabited forever, and it will not be dwelled in forever; and no Arab will pitch a tent there, and shepherds will not allow their flocks to lie down there.
其内必永无人烟, 世世代代无人居住. 阿拉伯人也不在那里支搭帐棚; 牧羊的人也不使羊群卧在那里.

13:21 But wild animals will lie down there, and their houses will be full of howling creatures, and the daughters of ostriches will live there, and goats will dance there.
只有旷野的走兽卧在那里; 咆哮的兽满了房屋. 鸵鸟住在那里; 野山羊在那里跳舞.

13:22 And hyenas will answer in its palaces, and jackals in the pleasure palaces; and its time is coming soon, and its days will not be prolonged.
豺狼必在它宫中呼号; 野狗必在它华美殿内吼叫. 巴比伦受罚的时候临近; 它的日子必不长久.

Isaiah - Chapter 14

14:1 But Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and he will again choose Israel and set them on their land, and the immigrant will join himself to them, and they will attach themselves to the house of Jacob.
耶和华要怜恤雅各, 必再拣选以色列, 将他们安置在本地. 寄居的必与他们联合, 紧贴雅各家.

14:2 And the nations will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will take possession of them in the land of Yahweh as slaves and female slaves. And this will happen: they will take their captors captive and rule over their oppressors.
外邦人必将他们带回本土; 以色列家必在耶和华的地上得外邦人为仆婢, 也要掳掠先前掳掠他们的, 辖制先前欺压他们的.

14:3 And it shall happen on the day Yahweh gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and hard labor which you had to perform,
当耶和华使你脱离愁苦,烦恼, 并人勉强你做的苦工, 得享安息的日子,

14:4 that you will take this taunt against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How the oppressor has ceased! his insolence has ceased.
你必题这诗歌论巴比伦王说: 欺压人的何竟息灭? 强暴的何竟止息?

14:5 Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers,
耶和华折断了恶人的杖, 辖制人的圭,

14:6 that struck the peoples in wrath, a blow without ceasing, that ruled the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution.
就是在忿怒中连连攻击众民的, 在怒气中辖制列国, 行逼迫无人阻止的.

14:7 All of the earth rests and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
现在全地得安息, 享平静; 人皆发声欢呼.

14:8 Even the cypresses rejoice over you, the cedars of Lebanon: ‘Since you were laid down, no wood cutter comes up against us.’
松树和黎巴嫩的香柏树都因你欢乐, 说: 自从你仆倒, 再无人上来砍伐我们.

14:9 Sheol below is getting excited over you, to meet you when you come; it arouses the dead spirits for you, all of the leaders of the earth. It raises all of the kings of the nations from their thrones.
你下到阴间, 阴间就因你震动来迎接你, 又因你惊动在世曾为首领的阴魂, 并使那曾为列国君王的, 都离位站起.

14:10 All of them will respond and say to you, ‘You yourself also were made weak like us! You have become the same as us!’
他们都要发言对你说: 你也变为软弱像我们一样吗? 你也成了我们的样子吗?

14:11 Your pride is brought down to Sheol, and the sound of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you like a bed, and your covering is worms.
你的威势和你琴瑟的声音都下到阴间. 你下铺的是虫, 上盖的是蛆.

14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of dawn! You are cut down to the ground, conqueror of nations!
明亮之星, 早晨之子啊, 你何竟从天坠落? 你这攻败列国的何竟被砍倒在地上?

14:13 And you yourself said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise up my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit on the mountain of assembly on the summit of Zaphon;
你心里曾说: 我要升到天上; 我要高举我的宝座在神众星以上; 我要坐在聚会的山上, 在北方的极处.

14:14 I will ascend to the high places of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High.’
我要升到高云之上; 我要与至上者同等.

14:15 But you are brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.
然而, 你必坠落阴间, 到坑中极深之处.

14:16 Those who see you will stare at you, they will look closely at you: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who caused kingdoms to shake,
凡看见你的都要定睛看你, 留意看你, 说: 使大地战抖, 使列国震动,

14:17 who made the world like the desert and destroyed its cities, who would not let his prisoners go home?’
使世界如同荒野, 使城邑倾覆, 不释放被掳的人归家, 是这个人吗?

14:18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, each one in his house.
列国的君王俱各在自己阴宅的荣耀中安睡.

14:19 But as for you, you are thrown away from your grave, like an abhorrent shoot, clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, those who go down to the stones of the pit, like a corpse that is trodden down.
惟独你被抛弃, 不得入你的坟墓, 好像可憎的枝子, 以被杀的人为衣, 就是被刀刺透, 坠落坑中石头那里的; 你又像被践踏的尸首一样.

14:20 You will not be united with them in burial because you have destroyed your land, you have killed your people. The descendants of evildoers will not be mentioned for eternity!
你不得与君王同葬; 因为你败坏你的国, 杀戮你的民. 恶人后裔的名, 必永不提说.

14:21 Prepare a place of slaughter for his sons because of the sin of their ancestors. Let them not rise and take possession of the earth or fill up the face of the world with cities.”
先人既有罪孽, 就要预备杀戮他的子孙, 免得他们兴起来, 得了遍地, 在世上修满城邑.

14:22 “And I will rise up against them,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and I will cut off name and a remnant from Babylon, and offspring and posterity,” declares Yahweh.
万军之耶和华说: 我必兴起攻击他们, 将巴比伦的名号和所余剩的人, 连子带孙一并剪除. 这是耶和华说的.

14:23 “And I will make her a possession of the hedgehog, and pools of water, and I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares Yahweh of hosts.
我必使巴比伦为箭猪所得, 又变为水池; 我要用灭亡的扫帚扫净它. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

14:24 Yahweh of hosts has sworn, saying, “Surely just as I have intended, so it shall be. And just as I have planned, it shall stand:
万军之耶和华起誓说: 我怎样思想, 必照样成就; 我怎样定意, 必照样成立,

14:25 to break Assyria in my land, and I will trample him down on my mountains; and he shall remove his yoke from them, and he shall remove his burden from his shoulders.”
就是在我地上打折亚述人, 在我山上将他践踏. 他加的轭必离开以色列人; 他加的重担必离开他们的肩头.

14:26 This is the plan that is planned concerning all of the earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out over all of the nations.
这是向全地所定的旨意; 这是向万国所伸出的手.

14:27 For Yahweh of hosts has planned, and who will frustrate it? And his hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
万军之耶和华既然定意, 谁能废弃呢? 他的手已经伸出, 谁能转回呢?

14:28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz there was this oracle:
亚哈斯王崩的那年, 就有以下的默示:

14:29 You must not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken, for a viper will come forth from the root of the snake, and its fruit will be a flying serpent.
非利士全地啊, 不要因击打你的杖折断就喜乐. 因为从蛇的根必生出毒蛇; 牠所生的是火焰的飞龙.

14:30 And the firstborn of the poor will graze, and the needy will lie down in security; but I will cause your root to die in famine, and it will kill your remnant.
贫寒人的长子必有所食; 穷乏人必安然躺卧. 我必以饥荒治死你的根; 你所余剩的人必被杀戮.

14:31 Wail, gate! Cry, city! Melt, Philistia, all of you! For smoke is coming from the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
门哪, 应当哀号! 城啊, 应当呼喊! 非利士全地啊, 你都消化了! 因为有烟从北方出来, 他行伍中并无乱队的.

14:32 And what will one answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and the needy of his people will take refuge in it.
可怎样回答外邦(或指非利士)的使者呢? 必说: 耶和华建立了锡安; 他百姓中的困苦人必投奔在其中.

Isaiah - Chapter 15

15:1 An oracle of Moab: Because Ar is devastated in a night, Moab is destroyed; because Kir of Moab is devastated in a night, it is destroyed.
论摩押的默示: 一夜之间, 摩押的亚珥变为荒废, 归于无有; 一夜之间, 摩押的基珥变为荒废, 归于无有.

15:2 It has gone up to the house, and Dibon to the high places for weeping over Nebo, and Moab wails over Medeba. Every head is bald, every beard is shaved.
他们上巴益, 又往底本, 到高处去哭泣. 摩押人因尼波和米底巴哀号, 各人头上光秃, 胡须剃净.

15:3 They gird themselves with sackcloth in its streets; on its roofs and public squares everyone wails, going down in weeping.
他们在街市上都腰束麻布, 在房顶上和宽阔处俱各哀号, 眼泪汪汪.

15:4 And Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voice is heard as far as Jahaz; therefore the armed ones of Moab cry out; its soul quivers for him.
希实本和以利亚利悲哀的声音达到雅杂, 所以摩押带兵器的高声喊嚷, 人心战兢.

15:5 My heart cries out for Moab; its fugitives flee up to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For at the ascent of Luhith it goes up it with weeping; for on the road of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
我心为摩押悲哀; 他的贵冑(或译: 逃民)逃到琐珥, 到伊基拉‧施利施亚. 他们上鲁希坡, 随走随哭; 在何罗念的路上, 因毁灭举起哀声.

15:6 For the waters of Nimrim are wastelands; for the grass has withered, the vegetation has vanished, there is no greenness.
因为宁林的水成为干涸, 青草枯干, 嫩草灭没, 青绿之物, 一无所有.

15:7 Therefore they carry the abundance it has made and their store of goods over the river of the poplars.
因此, 摩押人所得的财物和所积蓄的都要运过柳树河.

15:8 For a cry for help has encircled the territory of Moab, her wailing is heard as far as Eglaim, and her wailing as far as Beer Elim.
哀声遍闻摩押的四境; 哀号的声音达到以基莲; 哀号的声音达到比珥‧以琳.

底们的水充满了血; 我还要加增底们的灾难, 叫狮子来追上摩押逃脱的民和那地上所余剩的人.

Isaiah - Chapter 16

16:1 Send a ram to the ruler of the land, from Sela across the desert to the mountain of daughter Zion.
你们当将羊羔奉给那地掌权的, 从西拉往旷野, 送到锡安城(原文是女子)的山.

16:2 And this shall be: like a bird fleeing from a thrust away nest shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.
摩押的居民(原文是女子)在亚嫩渡口, 必像游飞的鸟, 如拆窝的雏.

求你献谋略, 行公平, 使你的影子在午间如黑夜, 隐藏被赶散的人, 不可显露逃民.

16:4 Let my outcasts of Moab dwell as aliens among you; be a hiding place for them from the presence of the destroyer.” When the oppressor is no more, destruction has stopped, the one who tramples has disappeared from the land,
求你容我这被赶散的人和你同居. 至于摩押, 求你作他的隐密处, 脱离灭命者的面. 勒索人的归于无有, 毁灭的事止息了, 欺压人的从国中除灭了,

16:5 then a throne shall be established in steadfast love, and one shall sit on it in faithfulness, in the tent of David, judging and seeking justice and zealous for righteousness.
必有宝座因慈爱坚立; 必有一位诚诚实实坐在其上, 在大卫帐幕中施行审判, 寻求公平, 速行公义.

16:6 We have heard of the pride of Moab—exceedingly proud— of his arrogance, pride, and insolence; his boasting is not true.
我们听说摩押人骄傲, 是极其骄傲; 听说他狂妄,骄傲,忿怒; 他夸大的话是虚空的.

16:7 Therefore Moab wails; all of it wails for Moab, for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth you moan, utterly devastated.
因此, 摩押人必为摩押哀号; 人人都要哀号. 你们摩押人要为吉珥‧哈列设的葡萄饼哀叹, 极其忧伤.

16:8 For Heshbon withers the fields, the vine of Sibmah; rulers of nations have broken down her tendrils, they reached up to Jazer, they wandered to the desert; her shoots spread abroad, they crossed over the sea.
因为希实本的田地和西比玛的葡萄树都衰残了. 列国的君主折断其上美好的枝子; 这枝子长到雅谢延到旷野, 嫩枝向外探出, 直探过盐海.

16:9 Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I drench you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh, for a jubilant shout has fallen over your summer fruit and harvest.
因此, 我要为西比玛的葡萄树哀哭, 与雅谢人哀哭一样. 希实本,以利亚利啊, 我要以眼泪浇灌你; 因为有交战呐喊的声音临到你夏天的果子, 并你收割的庄稼.

16:10 And joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful land, and in the vineyards no one exults, no one shouts for joy; no treader treads wine in the presses; I have put to an end to the jubilant shout.
从肥美的田中夺去了欢喜快乐; 在葡萄园里必无歌唱, 也无欢呼的声音. 踹酒的在酒醡中不得踹出酒来; 我使他欢呼的声音止息.

16:11 Therefore my heart moans like a harp for Moab and my inner parts for Kir-heres.
因此, 我心腹为摩押哀鸣如琴; 我心肠为吉珥‧哈列设也是如此.

但现在耶和华说: “三年之内, 照雇工的年数, 摩押的荣耀与他的群众必被藐视, 余剩的人甚少无几. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 17

17:1 An oracle of Damascus: “Look! Damascus will cease being a city and will become a heap of ruins.
论大马士革的默示: 看哪, 大马士革已被废弃, 不再为城, 必变作乱堆.

17:2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted; they will be for the flocks, and they will lie down and no one will frighten them.
亚罗珥的城邑已被撇弃, 必成为牧羊之处; 羊在那里躺卧, 无人惊吓.

17:3 And the fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus; and the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the children of Israel,” declares Yahweh of hosts.
以法莲不再有保障; 大马士革不再有国权; 亚兰所剩下的必像以色列人的荣耀消灭一样. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

17:4 “And this shall happen: On that day, the glory of Jacob will be brought low, and the fat of his flesh will become lean.
到那日, 雅各的荣耀必至枵薄; 他肥胖的身体必渐瘦弱.

17:5 And it shall be as when a reaper gathers standing grain and he reaps grain with his arm, and it shall be like one who gathers ears of grain in the valley of Rephaim.
就必像收割的人收敛禾稼, 用手割取穗子, 又像人在利乏音谷拾取遗落的穗子.

17:6 And gleanings will be left over in it, as when an olive tree is beaten, two or three ripe olive berries in the top of a branch, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
其间所剩下的不多, 好像人打橄榄树─在尽上的枝梢上只剩两三个果子; 在多果树的旁枝上只剩四五个果子. 这是耶和华─以色列的神说的.

17:7 On that day, mankind will look to its maker, and its eyes will look to the holy one of Israel;
当那日, 人必仰望造他们的主, 眼目重看以色列的圣者.

17:8 it will not look to the altars, the work of its hands, and it will not see what its fingers made and the poles of Asherah worship and the incense altars.
他们必不仰望祭坛, 就是自己手所筑的, 也不重看自己指头所做的, 无论是木偶是日像.

17:9 On that day, its fortified cities will be like the abandonment of the wooded place and the summit, which they deserted because of the children of Israel; and there will be desolation.
在那日, 他们的坚固城必像树林中和山顶上所撇弃的地方, 就是从前在以色列人面前被人撇弃的. 这样, 地就荒凉了.

17:10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and you have not remembered the rock of your refuge; therefore you plant plants of pleasantness, and you plant a vine of a foreigner.
因你忘记救你的神, 不记念你能力的磐石; 所以, 你栽上佳美的树秧子, 插上异样的栽子.

17:11 On your planting day you make them grow, and in the morning of your sowing you bring them into bloom, yet the harvest will flee in a day of sickness and incurable pain.
栽种的日子, 你周围圈上篱笆, 又到早晨使你所种的开花; 但在愁苦极其伤痛的日子, 所收割的都飞去了.

17:12 Ah! The noise of many peoples, they make a noise like the noise of the seas! And the roar of nations, they roar like the roar of mighty waters!
唉! 多民哄嚷, 好像海浪匉訇; 列邦奔腾, 好像猛水滔滔;

17:13 The nations roar like the roar of many waters, but he will rebuke him, and he will flee far away. And they are chased like chaff of the mountains before the wind and like tumbleweed before the storm.
列邦奔腾, 好像多水滔滔; 但神斥责他们, 他们就远远逃避, 又被追赶, 如同山上的风前糠, 又如暴风前的旋风土.

17:14 At the time of evening, and look, terror! Before morning he is no more. This is the fate of those who plunder us and the lot of those who plunder us.
到晚上有惊吓, 未到早晨他们就没有了. 这是掳掠我们之人所得的分, 是抢夺我们之人的报应.

Isaiah - Chapter 18

18:1 Ah! land of the whirring of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush,
唉! 古实河外翅膀刷刷响声之地,

18:2 that sends messengers by the sea and in vessels of papyrus on the surface of the waters! Go, swift messengers, to a tall and smooth nation, to a people feared near and far, a mighty, mighty and trampling nation, whose land rivers divide.
差遣使者在水面上, 坐蒲草船过海. 先知说: 你们快行的使者, 要到高大光滑的民那里去. 自从开国以来, 那民极其可畏, 是分地界践踏人的; 他们的地有江河分开.

18:3 All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers of the earth, when a signal is raised on the mountains, you must look, and when a trumpet is blown, you must listen!
世上一切的居民和地上所住的人哪, 山上竖立大旗的时候你们要看; 吹角的时候你们要听.

18:4 For Yahweh said this to me: “I will be quiet, and I will look from my dwelling place like clear heat because of light, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
耶和华对我这样说: 我要安静, 在我的居所观看, 如同日光中的清热, 又如露水的云雾在收割的热天.

18:5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is complete and a blossom becomes ripening fruit, and one cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks, and one removes, tears away the tendrils.
收割之先, 花开已谢, 花也成了将熟的葡萄; 他必用镰刀削去嫩枝, 又砍掉蔓延的枝条,

18:6 They shall all be left for birds of prey of the mountains and for the animals of the earth. And the birds of prey will pass the summer on it, and every animal of the earth will winter on it.
都要撇给山间的鸷鸟和地上的野兽. 夏天, 鸷鸟要宿在其上; 冬天, 野兽都卧在其中.

18:7 At that time, a gift will be brought to Yahweh of hosts from a tall and smooth people, and from a people feared near and far, a mighty, mighty and trampling nation, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of hosts, the mountain of Zion.
到那时, 这高大光滑的民, 就是从开国以来极其可畏,分地界践踏人的, 他们的地有江河分开; 他们必将礼物奉给万军之耶和华, 就是奉到锡安山─耶和华安置他名的地方.

埃及人的心神必在里面耗尽; 我必败坏他们的谋略. 他们必求问偶像和念咒的,交鬼的,行巫术的.

19:4 And I will hand over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a powerful king will rule over them,” declares the Lord Yahweh of hosts.

琐安的首领极其愚昧; 法老大有智慧的谋士, 所筹划的成为愚谋. 你们怎敢对法老说: 我是智慧人的子孙, 我是古王的后裔?

19:12 Where are your sages then? Now, let them tell you, and let them know what Yahweh of hosts has planned against Egypt.
你的智慧人在哪里呢? 万军之耶和华向埃及所定的旨意, 他们可以知道, 可以告诉你吧!

19:13 The princes of Zoan have become foolish; the princes of Memphis are deceived; the leaders of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
琐安的首领都变为愚昧; 挪弗的首领都受了迷惑. 当埃及支派房角石的, 使埃及人走错了路.

亚述王撒珥根打发他珥探到亚实突的那年, 他珥探就攻打亚实突, 将城攻取.

20:2 at that time, Yahweh had spoken by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and take off your sandals from your feet,” and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot.
那时, 耶和华晓谕亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚说: “你去解掉你腰间的麻布, 脱下你脚上的鞋. ”以赛亚就这样做, 露身赤脚行走.

20:3 Then Yahweh said, “Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush,
耶和华说: “我仆人以赛亚怎样露身赤脚行走三年, 作为关乎埃及和古实的预兆奇蹟.

20:4 so shall the king of Assyria lead the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks, the shame of Egypt.
照样, 亚述王也必掳去埃及人, 掠去古实人, 无论老少, 都露身赤脚, 现出下体, 使埃及蒙羞.

“那时, 这沿海一带的居民必说: ‘看哪, 我们素所仰望的, 就是我们为脱离亚述王逃往求救的, 不过是如此! 我们怎能逃脱呢? ’”

21:8 Then the watchman called, “Lord, I am standing on the watchtower continually by day, and I am standing at my post throughout the night.
他像狮子吼叫, 说: 主啊, 我白日常站在望楼上, 整夜立在我守望所.

21:16 For the Lord said this to me: “In one more year, like the years of a hired worker, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end.
主对我这样说: “一年之内, 照雇工的年数, 基达的一切荣耀必归于无有.

21:17 And the remainder of the number of the bows of the warriors of the sons of Kedar will be few.” For Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.
弓箭手所余剩的, 就是基达人的勇士, 必然稀少, 因为这是耶和华─以色列的神说的. ”

你这满处呐喊,大有喧哗的城, 欢乐的邑啊, 你中间被杀的并不是被刀杀, 也不是因打仗死亡.

22:3 All of your rulers have fled together without a bow; all of you who were found were captured. They were captured together; they had fled far away.
你所有的官长一同逃跑, 都为弓箭手所捆绑. 你中间一切被找到的都一同被捆绑; 他们本是逃往远方的.

22:4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me, let me weep bitterly; you must not insist on comforting me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
所以我说: 你们转眼不看我, 我要痛哭. 不要因我众民(原文是民女)的毁灭, 就竭力安慰我.

22:5 For the Lord Yahweh of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a tearing down of walls and a cry for help to the mountains.
因为主─万军之耶和华使“异象谷”有溃乱,践踏,烦扰的日子. 城被攻破, 哀声达到山间.

22:6 And Elam lifted up the quiver, with chariots of men and cavalry. And Kir uncovered the shield.
以拦带着箭袋, 还有坐战车的和马兵; 吉珥揭开盾牌.

22:7 And this happened: the choicest of your valleys were full of chariots, and the cavalry confidently stood at the gate.
你嘉美的谷遍满战车, 也有马兵在城门前排列.

22:8 And he uncovered the covering of Judah. And you looked, on that day, to the weapons of the House of the Forest,
他去掉犹大的遮盖. 那日, 你就仰望林库内的军器.

22:9 and you saw that the breaches in the walls of the city of David were many, and you gathered the waters of the lower pool.
你们看见大卫城的破口很多, 便聚积下池的水,

22:10 And you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
又数点耶路撒冷的房屋, 将房屋拆毁, 修补城墙,

22:11 And you made a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the old pool, but you did not look to its maker, and you did not see the one who created it long ago.
又在两道城墙中间挖一个聚水池可盛旧池的水, 却不仰望做这事的主, 也不顾念从古定这事的.

22:12 And the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, called on that day for weeping and mourning, and for baldness and girding with sackcloth.
当那日, 主─万军之耶和华叫人哭泣哀号, 头上光秃, 身披麻布.

22:13 But look! Joy and gladness, the killing of oxen and the slaughtering of sheep, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine! “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
谁知, 人倒欢喜快乐, 宰牛杀羊, 吃肉喝酒, 说: 我们吃喝吧! 因为明天要死了.

22:14 And it was revealed in my ears by Yahweh of hosts: “Surely this sin will not be atoned for you until you die!” says the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华亲自默示我说: 这罪孽直到你们死, 断不得赦免! 这是主─万军之耶和华说的.

22:15 The Lord, Yahweh of hosts, says this: “Go! Go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the house:
主─万军之耶和华这样说: “你去见掌银库的, 就是家宰舍伯那, 对他说:

22:16 ‘What business do you have here, and who do you have here, that you have cut a grave cutting here for yourself, carving his grave on the height, a dwelling place for him in the rock?
‘你在这里做甚么呢? 有甚么人竟在这里凿坟墓, 就是在高处为自己凿坟墓, 在磐石中为自己凿出安身之所?

22:17 Look! Yahweh is about to really hurl you, man! And he is about to grasp you firmly;
看哪, 耶和华必像大有力的人, 将你紧紧缠裹, 竭力抛去.

22:18 he will wind a winding tightly around you like a ball, to a wide land. There you shall die, and there the chariots of your splendor will be, disgrace to your master’s house!
他必将你滚成一团, 抛在宽阔之地, 好像抛球一样. 你这主人家的羞辱, 必在那里坐你荣耀的车, 也必在那里死亡.

22:19 And I will push you from your office, and he will throw you down from your position.
我必赶逐你离开官职; 你必从你的原位撤下. ’

22:20 And this shall happen: On that day I will call to my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
“到那日, 我必召我仆人希勒家的儿子以利亚敬来,

22:21 and I will clothe him with your tunic, and I will bind your sash firmly about him, and I will put your authority into his hand, and he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
将你的外袍给他穿上, 将你的腰带给他系紧, 将你的政权交在他手中. 他必作耶路撒冷居民和犹大家的父.

22:22 And I will put the key of the house of David on his shoulder, and he shall open and no one will be able to shut; and he shall shut and no one will be able to open.
我必将大卫家的钥匙放在他肩头上. 他开, 无人能关; 他关, 无人能开.

22:23 And I will drive him in like a peg into a secure place, and he will become like a throne of glory to the house of his father.
我必将他安稳, 像钉子钉在坚固处; 他必作为他父家荣耀的宝座.

22:24 And they will hang all of the heaviness of his father’s house on him, the offspring and the offshoot, all of the small vessels, from the bowls to the jars.
他父家所有的荣耀, 连儿女带子孙, 都挂在他身上, 好像一切小器皿, 从杯子到酒瓶挂上一样.

22:25 On that day, declares Yahweh of hosts, the peg that was driven will move away into a secure place, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on her will be cut off. For Yahweh has spoken.’ ”
万军之耶和华说: 当那日, 钉在坚固处的钉子必压斜, 被砍断落地; 挂在其上的重担必被剪断. 因为这是耶和华说的. ”

Isaiah - Chapter 23

23:1 The oracle of Tyre: Wail, ships of Tarshish, for the house is destroyed so that no one can enter; it is announced to them from the land of Cyprus.
论泰尔的默示: 他施的船只都要哀号; 因为泰尔变为荒场, 甚至没有房屋, 没有可进之路. 这消息是从基提地得来的.

23:2 Be still, inhabitants of the coast, merchant of Sidon, who travels over the sea, they filled you.
沿海的居民, 就是素来靠航海西顿的商家得丰盛的, 你们当静默无言.

23:3 And on the great waters is the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile is its produce, and she was the merchandise of the nations.
在大水之上, 西曷的粮食,尼罗河的庄稼是泰尔的进项; 她作列国的大码头.

23:4 Be ashamed, Sidon, for the sea, the fortress of the sea said, saying, “I was not in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not reared young men, brought up young women.”
西顿哪, 你当惭愧; 因为大海说, 就是海中的保障说: 我没有劬劳, 也没有生产, 没有养育男子, 也没有抚养童女.

23:5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report about Tyre.
这风声传到埃及; 埃及人为泰尔的风声极其疼痛.

23:6 Cross over to Tarshish! Wail, inhabitants of the coast!
泰尔人哪, 你们当过到他施去; 沿海的居民哪, 你们都当哀号.

23:7 Is this your exultant one, her origin from the days of long ago? Her feet brought her to dwell afar as an alien.
这是你们欢乐的城, 从上古而有的吗? 其中的居民往远方寄居.

23:8 Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, her traders the honored ones of the earth?
泰尔本是赐冠冕的. 她的商家是王子; 她的买卖人是世上的尊贵人. 遭遇如此是谁定的呢?

23:9 Yahweh of hosts has planned it: to defile the pride of all glory, to humble all the honored ones of the earth.
是万军之耶和华所定的! 为要污辱一切高傲的荣耀, 使地上一切的尊贵人被藐视.

23:10 Cross over your own land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.
他施的民(原文是女)哪, 可以流行你的地, 好像尼罗河; 不再有腰带拘紧你.

23:11 He has stretched his hand out over the sea; he has made kingdoms shake. Yahweh has commanded concerning Canaan to destroy her fortresses.
耶和华已经向海伸手, 震动列国. 至于迦南, 他已经吩咐拆毁其中的保障.

23:12 And he said, “You will not continue to exult, crushed one, virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus! There will be no rest for you even there.”
他又说: 受欺压西顿的居民(原文是处女)哪, 你必不得再欢乐. 起来! 过到基提去; 就是在那里也不得安歇.

23:13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans! This people no longer exists. Assyria destined it for wild animals. They erected its siege towers; they demolished its citadel fortresses. It made her like a ruin.
(看哪, 迦勒底人之地向来没有这民, 这国是亚述人为住旷野的人所立的. 现在他们建筑戍楼, 拆毁泰尔的宫殿, 使她成为荒凉. )

23:14 Wail, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is destroyed.
他施的船只都要哀号, 因为你们的保障变为荒场.

23:15 And this will happen on that day: And Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will be for Tyre like the song of the prostitute:
到那时, 泰尔必被忘记七十年, 照着一王的年日. 七十年后, 泰尔的景况必像妓女所唱的歌:

23:16 “Take a harp, go around the city, forgotten prostitute! Do it well, playing a stringed instrument! Make numerous songs, that you may be remembered.”
你这被忘记的妓女啊, 拿琴周流城内, 巧弹多唱, 使人再想念你.

23:17 And this shall happen: at the end of seventy years, Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she will return to her harlot’s wages, and she will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
七十年后, 耶和华必眷顾泰尔, 她就仍得利息(原文是雇价; 下同), 与地上的万国交易(原文是行淫).

23:18 And this shall happen: her merchandise and her harlot’s wages will be set apart for Yahweh; it will not be stored up, and it will not be hoarded, but her merchandise will be for those who live before the presence of Yahweh, for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.
她的货财和利息要归耶和华为圣, 必不积攒存留; 因为她的货财必为住在耶和华面前的人所得, 使他们吃饱, 穿耐久的衣服.

那时百姓怎样, 祭司也怎样; 仆人怎样, 主人也怎样; 婢女怎样, 主母也怎样; 买物的怎样, 卖物的也怎样; 放债的怎样, 借债的也怎样; 取利的怎样, 出利的也怎样.

地被其上的居民污秽; 因为他们犯了律法, 废了律例, 背了永约.

24:6 Therefore a curse devours the earth, and the inhabitants in it suffer for their guilt. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth burn, and few men are left.
所以, 地被咒诅吞灭; 住在其上的显为有罪. 地上的居民被火焚烧, 剩下的人稀少.

24:7 The new wine dries up; the vine languishes. All the merry of heart sigh;
新酒悲哀, 葡萄树衰残; 心中欢乐的俱都叹息.

城中只有荒凉; 城门拆毁净尽.

24:13 For it shall be like this in the midst of the earth, among the nations, like the beating of an olive tree, like gleanings when a grape harvest is at an end.
在地上的万民中, 必像打过的橄榄树, 又像已摘的葡萄所剩无几.

24:14 They lift up their voices; they sing for joy; they shout out from the west over the majesty of Yahweh.
这些人要高声欢呼; 他们为耶和华的威严, 从海那里扬起声来.

24:15 Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, the name of Yahweh the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
因此, 你们要在东方荣耀耶和华, 在众海岛荣耀耶和华─以色列神的名.

我们听见从地极有人歌唱, 说: 荣耀归于义人. 我却说: 我消灭了! 我消灭了, 我有祸了! 诡诈的行诡诈; 诡诈的大行诡诈.

24:17 Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, inhabitants of the earth!
地上的居民哪, 恐惧,陷坑,网罗都临近你.

24:18 And this shall happen: The one who flees from the sound of the terror shall fall into the pit, and the one who goes up from inside the pit shall be caught in the snare, for the windows from heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

地要东倒西歪, 好像醉酒的人; 又摇来摇去, 好像吊床. 罪过在其上沉重, 必然塌陷, 不能复起.

24:21 And this shall happen on that day: Yahweh will punish the host of heaven in heaven, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
到那日, 耶和华在高处必惩罚高处的众军, 在地上必惩罚地上的列王.

24:22 And they will be gathered in a gathering, like a prisoner in a pit. And they will be shut in a prison and be punished after many days.
他们必被聚集, 像囚犯被聚在牢狱中, 并要囚在监牢里, 多日之后便被讨罪(或译: 眷顾).

24:23 And the full moon will be ashamed and the sun will be ashamed, for Yahweh of hosts will rule on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his elders in glory.
那时, 月亮要蒙羞, 日头要惭愧; 因为万军之耶和华必在锡安山, 在耶路撒冷作王; 在敬畏他的长老面前, 必有荣耀.

因为当强暴人催逼人的时候, 如同暴风直吹墙壁, 你就作贫穷人的保障, 作困乏人急难中的保障, 作躲暴风之处, 作避炎热的阴凉.

25:5 the noise of foreigners like heat in a dry land. You subdued the heat with the shade of a cloud; the song of the ruthless was silenced.
你要压制外邦人的喧哗, 好像干燥地的热气下落; 禁止强暴人的凯歌, 好像热气被云影消化.

他使住高处的与高城一并败落, 将城拆毁, 拆平, 直到尘埃,

26:6 The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.”
要被脚践踏, 就是被困苦人的脚和穷乏人的脚践踏.

26:7 The way of the righteous is a straight path; you clear the level path of the righteous.
义人的道是正直的; 你为正直的主, 必修平义人的路.

26:8 Surely we wait for you in the path of your judgments, Yahweh, for your name and renown are the desire of the soul.
耶和华啊, 我们在你行审判的路上等候你; 我们心里所羡慕的是你的名, 就是你那可记念的名.

夜间, 我心中羡慕你; 我里面的灵切切寻求你. 因为你在世上行审判的时候, 地上的居民就学习公义.

26:10 Though the wicked person is shown compassion, he does not learn righteousness; he acts unjustly in the land of uprightness, and he does not see the majesty of Yahweh.
以恩惠待恶人, 他仍不学习公义; 在正直的地上, 他必行事不义, 也不注意耶和华的威严.

26:11 Yahweh, though your hand reaches high, they do not see it. Let them see, and let them be ashamed of the zeal of people. Indeed, let the fire of your enemies consume them.
耶和华啊, 你的手高举, 他们仍然不看; 却要看你为百姓发的热心, 因而抱愧, 并且有火烧灭你的敌人.

26:16 Yahweh, in distress they have visited you; they poured out an incantation; your discipline was on them.
耶和华啊, 他们在急难中寻求你; 你的惩罚临到他们身上, 他们就倾心吐胆祷告你.

26:17 Like a pregnant woman on the point of giving birth, she writhes; she cries in her labor pains. So we were because of your presence, Yahweh.
妇人怀孕, 临产疼痛, 在痛苦之中喊叫; 耶和华啊, 我们在你面前也是如此.

26:18 We became pregnant, we writhed; we gave birth to wind. We cannot bring about deliverance on the earth, and no inhabitants of the world are born.
我们也曾怀孕疼痛, 所产的竟像风一样. 我们在地上未曾行甚么拯救的事; 世上的居民也未曾败落.

到那日, 耶和华必用他刚硬有力的大刀刑罚鳄鱼─就是那快行的蛇, 刑罚鳄鱼─就是那曲行的蛇, 并杀海中的大鱼.

27:2 On that day: “A vineyard of beauty! Sing in praise of it!
当那日, 有出酒的葡萄园, 你们要指这园唱歌说:

27:3 I, Yahweh, am her keeper; I water it again and again. Lest one afflict harm on it, I guard it night and day;
我─耶和华是看守葡萄园的; 我必时刻浇灌, 昼夜看守, 免得有人损害.

27:4 I have no wrath. Whatever gives me thorns and briers, I will step forth against in battle. I will set it on fire altogether.
我心中不存忿怒. 惟愿荆棘蒺藜与我交战, 我就勇往直前, 把它一同焚烧.

27:5 Or let it grasp at my protection; let it make peace with me; peace let it make with me.”
不然, 让它持住我的能力, 使它与我和好, 愿它与我和好.

27:6 Days are coming, let Jacob take root; Israel will blossom and send out shoots, and they will fill the face of the world with fruit.
将来雅各要扎根, 以色列要发芽开花; 他们的果实必充满世界.

27:7 Does he strike him as he struck down those who struck him? Or is he killed as those who killed him were killed?
主击打他们, 岂像击打那些击打他们的人吗? 他们被杀戮, 岂像被他们所杀戮的吗?

27:8 By expelling her, by her sending away, you argue with her. He removed them with his strong wind, in the day of the east wind.
你打发他们去, 是相机宜与他们相争; 刮东风的日子, 就用暴风将他们逐去.

27:9 Therefore by this he will make atonement for the guilt of Jacob, and this will be all of the fruit of the removal of his sin: when he makes all the stones of the altar like crushed stones of chalk, no poles of Asherah worship or incense altars will stand.
所以, 雅各的罪孽得赦免, 他的罪过得除掉的果效, 全在乎此: 就是他叫祭坛的石头变为打碎的灰石, 以致木偶和日像不再立起.

27:10 For the fortified city is solitary, a settlement deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness; the calf grazes there, lies down there and destroys its branches.
因为坚固城变为凄凉, 成了撇下离弃的居所, 像旷野一样; 牛犊必在那里吃草, 在那里躺卧, 并吃尽其中的树枝.

27:11 When its branches are dry, they are broken; women are coming and setting light to it. For it is not a people of understanding; therefore his maker will not have compassion on him, and his creator will not show him favor.
枝条枯干, 必被折断; 妇女要来点火烧着. 因为这百姓蒙昧无知, 所以, 创造他们的必不怜恤他们; 造成他们的也不施恩与他们.

27:12 And this shall happen: on that day, Yahweh will thresh from the floodwaters of the Euphrates to the wadi of Egypt, and as for you, you will be gathered one by one, sons of Israel.
以色列人哪, 到那日, 耶和华必从大河, 直到埃及小河, 将你们一一地收集, 如同人打树拾果一样.

27:13 And this shall happen: on that day, a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria will come, and those who were scattered in the land of Egypt, and they will bow down to Yahweh on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
当那日, 必大发角声, 在亚述地将要灭亡的, 并在埃及地被赶散的, 都要来, 他们就在耶路撒冷圣山上敬拜耶和华.

Isaiah - Chapter 28

28:1 Ah! The garland of the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim and the withering flower of the glory of his beauty, which is at the head of the rich valley, ones overcome with wine!
祸哉! 以法莲的酒徒, 住在肥美谷的山上, 他们心里高傲, 以所夸的为冠冕, 犹如将残之花.

28:2 Look! The Lord has a mighty and strong one, like a rainstorm of hail, a wind storm of destruction, like a rainstorm of mighty overflowing waters, he will put them to the earth with his hand.
看哪, 主有一大能大力者, 像一阵冰雹, 像毁灭的暴风, 像涨溢的大水, 他必用手将冠冕摔落于地.

28:3 The garland of the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trampled by feet,
以法莲高傲的酒徒, 他的冠冕必被踏在脚下.

28:4 and the withering flower of the glory of its beauty which is at the head of the rich valley will be like its early fig before summer, which the one who sees it swallows while it is still in his hand.
那荣美将残之花, 就是在肥美谷山上的, 必像夏令以前初熟的无花果; 看见这果的就注意, 一到手中就吞吃了.

28:5 In that day, Yahweh of hosts will become a garland of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people,
到那日, 万军之耶和华必作他余剩之民的荣冠华冕,

28:6 and a spirit of justice to the one who sits over judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
也作了在位上行审判者公平之灵, 并城门口打退仇敌者的力量.

28:7 And these also stagger because of wine and stagger because of strong drink; priest and prophet stagger because of strong drink; they are confused because of wine. They stagger because of strong drink; they err in vision. They stagger in the rendering of a decision,
就是这地的人也因酒摇摇晃晃, 因浓酒东倒西歪. 祭司和先知因浓酒摇摇晃晃, 被酒所困, 因浓酒东倒西歪. 他们错解默示, 谬行审判.

28:8 for all the tables are full of disgusting vomit, with no place left.
因为各席上满了呕吐的污秽, 无一处干净.

28:9 To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from milk, those taken from the breast?
讥诮先知的说: 他要将知识指教谁呢? 要使谁明白传言呢? 是那刚断奶离怀的吗?

28:10 For it is blah-blah upon blah-blah, blah-blah upon blah-blah, gah-gah upon gah-gah, gah-gah upon gah-gah, a little here, a little there.
他竟命上加命, 令上加令, 律上加律, 例上加例, 这里一点, 那里一点.

28:11 For he will speak with stammering and another tongue to this people,
先知说: 不然, 主要藉异邦人的嘴唇和外邦人的舌头对这百姓说话.

28:12 to whom he has said, “This is rest; give rest to the weary; and this is repose”; yet they were not willing to hear.
他曾对他们说: 你们要使疲乏人得安息, 这样才得安息, 才得舒畅, 他们却不肯听.

28:13 And to them the word of Yahweh will be blah-blah upon blah-blah blah-blah upon blah-blah gah-gah upon gah-gah gah-gah upon gah-gah, a little here, a little there, so that they may go and stumble backward and be broken and ensnared and captured.
所以, 耶和华向他们说的话是命上加命, 令上加令, 律上加律, 例上加例, 这里一点, 那里一点, 以致他们前行仰面跌倒, 而且跌碎, 并陷入网罗被缠住.

28:14 Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, men of mockery, rulers of these people in Jerusalem:
所以, 你们这些亵慢的人, 就是辖管住在耶路撒冷这百姓的, 要听耶和华的话.

28:15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol. The overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood.”
你们曾说: 我们与死亡立约, 与阴间结盟; 敌军(原文是鞭子)如水涨漫经过的时候, 必不临到我们; 因我们以谎言为避所, 在虚假以下藏身.

28:16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: “Look! I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a founded foundation: ‘The one who trusts will not panic.’
所以, 主耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我在锡安放一块石头作为根基, 是试验过的石头, 是稳固根基, 宝贵的房角石; 信靠的人必不着急.

28:17 And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will flood over the hiding place.
我必以公平为准绳, 以公义为线铊. 冰雹必冲去谎言的避所; 大水必漫过藏身之处.

28:18 And your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through.
你们与死亡所立的约必然废掉, 与阴间所结的盟必立不住. 敌军(原文是鞭子)如水涨漫经过的时候, 你们必被他践踏;

28:19 As often as it passes through, it will take you, for morning by morning it will pass through, in the day and in the night, and understanding the message will be only terror.”
每逢经过必将你们掳去. 因为每早晨他必经过, 白昼黑夜都必如此. 明白传言的必受惊恐.

28:20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the covering is too narrow when wrapping oneself.
原来, 床榻短, 使人不能舒身; 被窝窄, 使人不能遮体.

28:21 For Yahweh will rise up as at Mount Perazim; he will rave as in the valley at Gibeon to do his deed—his deed is strange— and to work his work—his work is alien!
耶和华必兴起, 像在毘拉心山; 他必发怒, 像在基遍谷, 好做成他的工, 就是非常的工; 成就他的事, 就是奇异的事.

28:22 And now you must not scoff, or your bonds will be strong, for I have heard from the Lord, Yahweh of hosts: complete destruction decreed upon all the land.
现在你们不可亵慢, 恐怕捆你们的绑索更结实了; 因为我从主─万军之耶和华那里听见, 已经决定在全地上施行灭绝的事.

28:23 Listen, and hear my voice! Listen attentively, and hear my word!
你们当侧耳听我的声音, 留心听我的言语.

28:24 Is it all day that the plowman plows, opens to sow seed, harrows his ground?
那耕地为要撒种的, 岂是常常耕地呢? 岂是常常开垦耙地呢?

28:25 When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter dill, and sow cumin seed, and plant wheat in planted rows, and barley in an appointed place, and spelt grain as its border?
他拉平了地面, 岂不就撒种小茴香, 播种大茴香, 按行列种小麦, 在定处种大麦, 在田边种粗麦呢?

28:26 And his God instructs him about the prescription; he teaches him.
因为他的神教导他务农相宜, 并且指教他.

28:27 For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a wheel of a utility cart rolled over cumin, but dill is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.
原来打小茴香, 不用尖利的器具, 轧大茴香, 也不用碌碡(原文是车轮; 下同); 但用杖打小茴香, 用棍打大茴香.

28:28 Grain is crushed fine, but certainly one does not thresh it forever; and one drives the wheel of his cart, but his horses do not crush it.
做饼的粮食是用磨磨碎, 因它不必常打; 虽用碌碡和马打散, 却不磨它.

28:29 This also comes forth from Yahweh of hosts. He is wonderful in advice; he makes great wisdom.
这也是出于万军之耶和华─他的谋略奇妙; 他的智慧广大.

Isaiah - Chapter 29

29:1 Ah! Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year, let festivals recur.
唉! 亚利伊勒, 亚利伊勒, 大卫安营的城, 任凭你年上加年, 节期照常周流.

29:2 Yet I will inflict Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation, and it shall be to me like an altar hearth.
我终必使亚利伊勒困难; 她必悲伤哀号, 我却仍以她为亚利伊勒.

29:3 And I will encamp in a circle against you, and I will lay siege to you with towers and I will raise up siegeworks against you.
我必四围安营攻击你, 屯兵围困你, 筑垒攻击你.

29:4 Then you shall be low; you shall speak from the earth, and your words will be low, from dust. And your voice will be from the earth, like a ghost, and your word will whisper from the dust.
你必败落, 从地中说话; 你的言语必微细出于尘埃. 你的声音必像那交鬼者的声音出于地; 你的言语低低微微出于尘埃.

29:5 But the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of tyrants like chaff that passes by. And it will happen in an instant, suddenly.
你仇敌的群众, 却要像细尘; 强暴人的群众, 也要像飞糠. 这事必顷刻之间忽然临到.

29:6 You will be punished by Yahweh of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great sound, storm wind and tempest and the flame of a devouring fire.
万军之耶和华必用雷轰,地震,大声,旋风,暴风, 并吞灭的火焰, 向她讨罪.

29:7 And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, all those who fight against her and her stronghold, and those who inflict her shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.
那时, 攻击亚利伊勒列国的群众, 就是一切攻击亚利伊勒和她的保障, 并使她困难的, 必如梦景, 如夜间的异象;

29:8 And it shall be as when the hungry person dreams—look, he is eating! And he wakes up and his inner self is empty. Or as when the thirsty person dreams—look, he is drinking! And he wakes up and look, he is faint, and his inner self is longing for water. So shall be the multitude of all the nations who fight against Mount Zion.
又必像饥饿的人梦中吃饭, 醒了仍觉腹空; 或像口渴的人梦中喝水, 醒了仍觉发昏, 心里想喝. 攻击锡安山列国的群众也必如此.

29:9 Be astonished and be amazed! Blind yourselves and be blinded! They are drunk but not from wine; they stagger but not from strong drink.
你们等候惊奇吧! 你们宴乐昏迷吧! 他们醉了, 却非因酒; 他们东倒西歪, 却非因浓酒.

29:10 For Yahweh has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and he has shut your eyes, the prophets, and he has covered your heads, the seers.
因为耶和华将沉睡的灵浇灌你们, 封闭你们的眼, 蒙盖你们的头. 你们的眼就是先知; 你们的头就是先见.

29:11 And the vision of all this has become for you like the words of a sealed document. When they give it to one who knows the document, saying, “Read this now!” He says, “I am not able, for it is sealed.”
所有的默示, 你们看如封住的书卷, 人将这书卷交给识字的, 说: “请念吧! ”他说: “我不能念, 因为是封住了. ”

29:12 And if the document is given to one who does not know how to read, saying, “Read this now!” he says, “I do not know how to read.”
又将这书卷交给不识字的人, 说: “请念吧! ”他说: “我不识字. ”

29:13 And the Lord said, “Because this people draw near with its mouth, and with its lips it honors me, and its heart is far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men that has been taught,
主说: 因为这百姓亲近我, 用嘴唇尊敬我, 心却远离我; 他们敬畏我, 不过是领受人的吩咐.

29:14 therefore look, I am again doing something spectacular and a spectacle with this spectacular people. And the wisdom of its wise men shall perish, and the discernment of its discerning ones shall keep itself hidden.”
所以, 我在这百姓中要行奇妙的事, 就是奇妙又奇妙的事. 他们智慧人的智慧必然消灭, 聪明人的聪明必然隐藏.

29:15 Ah! Those who make a plan deep, to hide it from Yahweh, and their deeds are in a dark place. And they say, “Who sees us? And who knows us?”
祸哉! 那些向耶和华深藏谋略的, 又在暗中行事, 说: 谁看见我们呢? 谁知道我们呢?

29:16 Your perversity! As if a potter shall be regarded as the clay! That the product of its maker says, “He did not make me,” and the thing made into shape says of its potter, “He has no understanding.”
你们把事颠倒了, 岂可看窑匠如泥吗? 被制作的物岂可论制作物的说: 他没有制作我? 或是被创造的物论造物的说: 他没有聪明?

29:17 In a very little while shall not Lebanon change into a fruitful land, and the fruitful land be regarded as a forest?
黎巴嫩变为肥田, 肥田看如树林, 不是只有一点点时候吗?

29:18 And on that day, the deaf shall hear the words of a scroll, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of gloom and darkness.
那时, 聋子必听见这书上的话; 瞎子的眼必从迷蒙黑暗中得以看见.

29:19 And the meek have joy after joy in Yahweh, and the needy of the people shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel.
谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜; 人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐.

29:20 For the tyrant shall be no more, and the scoffer shall come to an end. And all those lying in wait for evil shall be cut off;
因为, 强暴人已归无有, 亵慢人已经灭绝, 一切找机会作孽的都被剪除.

29:21 those who mislead a person into sin with a word and set a trap for the arbitrator in the gate and guide away the righteous by emptiness.
他们在争讼的事上定无罪的为有罪, 为城门口责备人的设下网罗, 用虚无的事屈枉义人.

29:22 Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says this to the house of Jacob: “Jacob will no longer be ashamed, and his face will no longer grow pale.
所以, 救赎亚伯拉罕的耶和华论雅各家如此说: 雅各必不再羞愧, 面容也不致变色.

29:23 For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will treat my name as holy, and they will treat the holy one of Jacob as holy, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
但他看见他的众子, 就是我手的工作在他那里, 他们必尊我的名为圣, 必尊雅各的圣者为圣, 必敬畏以色列的神.

29:24 And those who err in spirit will acquire understanding, and those who grumble will learn instruction.
心中迷糊的必得明白; 发怨言的必受训诲.

Isaiah - Chapter 30

30:1 “Oh rebellious children!” declares Yahweh, “to make a plan, but not from me, and pour out a libation, but not from my Spirit, so as to add sin to sin.
耶和华说: 祸哉! 这悖逆的儿女. 他们同谋, 却不由于我, 结盟, 却不由于我的灵, 以致罪上加罪;

30:2 Who go to go down to Egypt, but they do not ask of my mouth, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
起身下埃及去, 并没有求问我; 要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量, 并投在埃及的荫下.

30:3 And the protection of Pharaoh shall be shame to you, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, humiliation.
所以, 法老的力量必作你们的羞辱; 投在埃及的荫下, 要为你们的惭愧.

30:4 For his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys reach to Hanes.
他们的首领已在琐安; 他们的使臣到了哈内斯.

30:5 Everyone will start to stink because of a people that cannot profit them, not for help and not for profiting, but for shame and also for disgrace.”
他们必因那不利于他们的民蒙羞. 那民并非帮助, 也非利益, 只作羞耻凌辱.

30:6 An oracle of the animals of the Negev: Through a land of trouble and distress, of lioness and lion, among them are snake and flying serpent; they carry their wealth on the backs of male donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them.
论南方牲畜的默示: 他们把财物驮在驴驹的脊背上, 将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上, 经过艰难困苦之地, 就是公狮,母狮,蝮蛇,火焰的飞龙之地, 往那不利于他们的民那里去.

30:7 For Egyptians help with vanity and emptiness, therefore I have called this one “Rahab, they are sitting.”
埃及的帮助是徒然无益的; 所以我称她为“坐而不动的拉哈伯”.

30:8 Now go, write it on a tablet with them, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come, forever, forever.
现今你去, 在他们面前将这话刻在版上, 写在书上, 以便传留后世, 直到永永远远.

30:9 For it is a people of rebellion, deceitful children, children who are not willing to hear the instruction of Yahweh,
因为他们是悖逆的百姓,说谎的儿女, 不肯听从耶和华训诲的儿女.

30:10 who say to those who do see, “You must not see!” and to the seers, “You must not see truth for us; speak smooth things to us, see illusions,
他们对先见说: 不要望见不吉利的事, 对先知说: 不要向我们讲正直的话; 要向我们说柔和的话, 言虚幻的事.

30:11 turn aside from the way, turn aside from the path, put an end to the holy one of Israel from our face.”
你们要离弃正道, 偏离直路, 不要在我们面前再提说以色列的圣者.

30:12 Therefore the holy one of Israel says this: “Because you are rejecting this word and you trust in oppression and cunning and you rely on it,
所以, 以色列的圣者如此说: 因为你们藐视这训诲的话, 倚赖欺压和乖僻, 以此为可靠的,

30:13 therefore this iniquity shall come for you like a breach about to fall, bulging out on a high wall that breaks suddenly, in an instant.
故此, 这罪孽在你们身上, 好像将要破裂凸出来的高墙, 顷刻之间忽然坍塌;

30:14 And he breaks it like a vessel of a potter breaks, that is crushed; he has no compassion, and no potsherd is found among its fragments to take fire from the hearth, or to skim water from the cistern.”
要被打碎, 好像把窑匠的瓦器打碎, 毫不顾惜, 甚至碎块中找不到一片可用以从炉内取火, 从池中舀水.

30:15 For the Lord Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, said this: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; your strength shall be in quietness and in trust.” But you were not willing,
主耶和华─以色列的圣者曾如此说: 你们得救在乎归回安息; 你们得力在乎平静安稳; 你们竟自不肯.

30:16 and you said, “No! For we will flee on horses!” Therefore you shall flee! And, “We will ride on swift horses!” Therefore your pursuers shall be swift!
你们却说: 不然, 我们要骑马奔走. 所以你们必然奔走; 又说: 我们要骑飞快的牲口. 所以追赶你们的, 也必飞快.

30:17 One thousand because of a threat of one, because of a threat of five you shall flee, until you are left like a flagstaff on top of a mountain, and like a signal on a hill.
一人叱喝, 必令千人逃跑; 五人叱喝, 你们都必逃跑; 以致剩下的, 好像山顶的旗杆, 冈上的大旗.

30:18 Therefore Yahweh waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy, for Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
耶和华必然等候, 要施恩给你们; 必然兴起, 好怜悯你们. 因为耶和华是公平的神; 凡等候他的都是有福的!

30:19 For people will live in Zion; in Jerusalem, you will surely not weep. Surely he will be gracious to you; when he hears the sound of your cry, he will answer you.
百姓必在锡安,在耶路撒冷居住; 你不再哭泣. 主必因你哀求的声音施恩给你; 他听见的时候就必应允你.

30:20 And the Lord will give you the bread of distress and the water of oppression, but your teachers will not hide themselves any longer. And your eyes shall see your teachers.
主虽然以艰难给你当饼, 以困苦给你当水, 你的教师却不再隐藏; 你眼必看见你的教师.

30:21 And your ears shall hear a word from behind you, saying, “this is the way; walk in it,” when you go to your right and when you go to your left.
你或向左或向右, 你必听见后边有声音说: “这是正路, 要行在其间. ”

30:22 And you will defile the plating of your silver idols and the covering of your gold image. You will scatter them like contaminated things; you will say to it, “Filth!”
你雕刻偶像所包的银子和铸造偶像所镀的金子, 你要玷污, 要抛弃, 好像污秽之物, 对偶像说: “去吧! ”

30:23 And he will give rain for your seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the produce of the ground, and it will be rich and fertile. On that day, your cattle will graze in broad pastures;
你将种子撒在地里, 主必降雨在其上, 并使地所出的粮肥美丰盛. 到那时, 你的牲畜必在宽阔的草场吃草.

30:24 and the oxen and the donkeys that till the ground will eat fodder, sorrel that has been winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
耕地的牛和驴驹必吃加盐的料; 这料是用木锨和杈子扬净的.

30:25 And there will be streams on every high mountain and elevated hill, watercourses of water, on a day of great slaughter, when towers fall.
在大行杀戮的日子, 高台倒塌的时候, 各高山冈陵必有川流河涌.

30:26 And the light of the full moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, on the day when Yahweh binds up the breakage of his people, and he heals the wound of his blow.
当耶和华缠裹他百姓的损处, 医治他民鞭伤的日子, 月光必像日光, 日光必加七倍, 像七日的光一样.

30:27 Look! The name of Yahweh comes from afar, burning with his anger and heaviness of cloud. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
看哪, 耶和华的名从远方来, 怒气烧起, 密烟上腾. 他的嘴唇满有忿恨; 他的舌头像吞灭的火.

30:28 And his breath is like an overflowing river; it reaches up to the neck to shake the nations with the sieve of worthlessness; and a bridle that leads astray is on the jawbones of the peoples.
他的气如涨溢的河水, 直涨到颈项, 要用毁灭的筛箩筛净列国, 并且在众民的口中必有使人错行的嚼环.

30:29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept, and a gladness of heart like one who goes with the flute, to go to the mountain of Yahweh, to the rock of Israel.
你们必唱歌, 像守圣节的夜间一样, 并且心中喜乐, 像人吹笛, 上耶和华的山, 到以色列的磐石那里.

30:30 And Yahweh will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and he will cause the descent of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and a rainstorm and stones of hail.
耶和华必使人听他威严的声音, 又显他降罚的膀臂和他怒中的忿恨, 并吞灭的火焰与霹雷,暴风,冰雹.

30:31 Indeed, Assyria will be shattered by the voice of Yahweh; he strikes with the rod.
亚述人必因耶和华的声音惊惶; 耶和华必用杖击打他.

30:32 And every stroke of the staff of foundation that Yahweh lays will be on it with timbrels and lyres, and he will fight against it with battles of brandishing.
耶和华必将命定的杖加在他身上; 每打一下, 人必击鼓弹琴. 打仗的时候, 耶和华必抡起手来, 与他交战.

30:33 For Topheth has been prepared from yesterday; indeed, it is made ready for the king. He makes its pile of wood deep and wide; he makes fire and wood abundant. The breath of Yahweh burns in it like a stream of sulfur.
原来陀斐特又深又宽, 早已为王预备好了; 其中堆的是火与许多木柴. 耶和华的气如一股硫磺火使他著起来.

Isaiah - Chapter 31

31:1 Ah! Those who go down to Egypt for help! They rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very numerous, and they do not look to the holy one of Israel, and they do not consult Yahweh.
祸哉! 那些下埃及求帮助的, 是因仗赖马匹, 倚靠甚多的车辆, 并倚靠强壮的马兵, 却不仰望以色列的圣者, 也不求问耶和华.

31:2 And indeed, he is wise, and he brings disaster, and he does not remove his words, and he will rise against the house of evildoers and against the help of workers of iniquity.
其实, 耶和华有智慧; 他必降灾祸, 并不反悔自己的话, 却要兴起攻击那作恶之家, 又攻击那作孽帮助人的.

31:3 And the Egyptians are human and not God, and their horses are flesh and not spirit. And Yahweh stretches out his hand, and the helper will stumble, and the one being helped will fall, and together all of them will come to an end.
埃及人不过是人, 并不是神; 他们的马不过是血肉, 并不是灵. 耶和华一伸手, 那帮助人的必绊跌, 那受帮助的也必跌倒, 都一同灭亡.

31:4 For Yahweh said this to me: “As which a lion growls and a young lion over its prey when a full group of shepherds is called against him, it is not terrified by their voice, and to their noise it does not respond, so Yahweh of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon its hill.
耶和华对我如此说: 狮子和少壮狮子护食咆哮, 就是喊许多牧人来攻击牠, 牠总不因他们的声音惊惶, 也不因他们的喧哗缩伏. 如此, 万军之耶和华也必降临在锡安山冈上争战.

31:5 Like birds flying overhead, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it; he will pass over and rescue it.
雀鸟怎样搧翅覆雏, 万军之耶和华也要照样保护耶路撒冷. 他必保护拯救, 要越门保守.

31:6 Turn back to the one against whom the sons of Israel have made deep rebellion.
以色列人哪, 你们深深地悖逆耶和华, 现今要归向他.

31:7 For on that day, each one will reject his idols of silver and his idols of gold which your hands have made in sin for you.
到那日, 各人必将他金偶像银偶像, 就是亲手所造,陷自己在罪中的, 都抛弃了.

31:8 And Assyria shall fall by a sword not of a man, and a sword not of a human shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be put to forced labor.
亚述人必倒在刀下, 并非人的刀; 有刀要将他吞灭, 并非人的刀. 他必逃避这刀; 他的少年人必成为服苦的.

31:9 And his rock will pass over because of terror, and his officers will be terrified because of the flag,” declares Yahweh, who has a fire in Zion and has a furnace in Jerusalem.
他的磐石必因惊吓挪去; 他的首领必因大旗惊惶. 这是那有火在锡安,有炉在耶路撒冷的耶和华说的.

Isaiah - Chapter 32

32:1 See, a king will rule according to righteousness, and princes will rule according to justice.
看哪, 必有一王凭公义行政; 必有首领藉公平掌权.

32:2 And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind and a covering from the rainstorm, like streams of water in a dry region, like the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
必有一人像避风所和避暴雨的隐密处, 又像河流在干旱之地, 像大磐石的影子在疲乏之地.

32:3 And the eyes of those who see will not gaze, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
那能看的人, 眼不再昏迷; 能听的人, 耳必得听闻.

32:4 And the minds of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongues of stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
冒失人的心必明白知识; 结巴人的舌必说话通快.

32:5 A fool will no longer be called noble, and a scoundrel will not be said to be eminent.
愚顽人不再称为高明; 吝啬人不再称为大方.

32:6 For a fool speaks folly, and his mind does iniquity: to behave wickedly, and to speak error concerning Yahweh, to leave the throat of the hungry empty, and he deprives the thirsty of drink.
因为愚顽人必说愚顽话, 心里想作罪孽, 惯行亵渎的事, 说错谬的话攻击耶和华, 使饥饿的人无食可吃, 使口渴的人无水可喝.

32:7 And a scoundrel, his weapons are evil; he plans evil devices to ruin the poor with words of deception even when the speech of the needy is right.
吝啬人所用的法子是恶的; 他图谋恶计, 用谎言毁灭谦卑人; 穷乏人讲公理的时候, 他也是这样行.

希西家王十四年, 亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大的一切坚固城, 将城攻取.

36:2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a large army, and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the field of the washer.
亚述王从拉吉差遣拉伯沙基率领大军往耶路撒冷, 到希西家王那里去. 他就站在上池的水沟旁, 在漂布地的大路上.

36:3 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace, came out to him, and Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the reminder.
于是希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬, 并书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚, 出来见拉伯沙基.

36:4 And Rabshakeh said to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: “What is this confidence in which you trust?
拉伯沙基对他们说: “你们去告诉希西家说, 亚述大王如此说: ‘你所倚靠的有甚么可仗赖的呢?

36:5 I said, ‘Only a word of lips! War has power and a plan!’ Now, in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
你说, 有打仗的计谋和能力, 我看不过是虚话. 你到底倚靠谁才背叛我呢?

36:6 Look, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt, which if a man leans on it, goes into his hand and bores through it! Such is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all those who trust in him.
看哪, 你所倚靠的埃及是那压伤的苇杖, 人若靠这杖, 就必刺透他的手. 埃及王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是这样.

36:7 And if you say to me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ was it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed? And he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall bow down in the presence of this altar.’ ”
你若对我说: 我们倚靠耶和华─我们的神. 希西家岂不是将神的邱坛和祭坛废去, 且对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说: 你们当在这坛前敬拜吗?

36:8 And now please make a wager with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, that is, if you are able put riders for yourself on them!
现在你把当头给我主亚述王, 我给你二千匹马, 看你这一面骑马的人够不够.

36:9 But how can you drive back one governor among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
若不然, 怎能打败我主臣仆中最小的军长呢? 你竟倚靠埃及的战车马兵吗?

36:10 And now was it without Yahweh that I have come up against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, “Go up against this land and destroy it!” ’ ”
现在我上来攻击毁灭这地, 岂没有耶和华的意思吗? 耶和华吩咐我说, 你上去攻击毁灭这地吧! ’”

36:11 And Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we can understand it, and you must not speak to us in Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
以利亚敬,舍伯那,约亚对拉伯沙基说: “求你用亚兰言语和仆人说话, 因为我们懂得; 不要用犹大言语和我们说话, 达到城上百姓的耳中. ”

36:12 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your masters and you? Was it not for the people who sit on the wall, to eat their dung and drink their urine with you?”
拉伯沙基说: “我主差遣我来, 岂是单对你和你的主说这些话吗? 不也是对这些坐在城上,要与你们一同吃自己粪喝自己尿的人说吗? ”

36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood and called in a great voice in Judean and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
于是, 拉伯沙基站着, 用犹大言语大声喊著说: “你们当听亚述大王的话.

36:14 Thus says the king: ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you!
王如此说: ‘你们不要被希西家欺哄了, 因他不能拯救你们.

36:15 And do not let Hezekiah make you rely on Yahweh, saying, “Surely Yahweh will deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria!”
也不要听希西家使你们倚靠耶和华说: 耶和华必要拯救我们, 这城必不交在亚述王的手中. ’

36:16 You must not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: “Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each one will eat from his vine and from his fig tree and drink water from his cistern,
不要听希西家的话, 因亚述王如此说: ‘你们要与我和好. 出来投降我, 各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子, 喝自己井里的水.

36:17 until I come and take you to a land like your land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards,
等我来领你们到一个地方, 与你们本地一样, 就是有五谷和新酒之地, 有粮食和葡萄园之地.

36:18 lest Hezekiah mislead you, saying, ‘Yahweh will save us!’ Did the gods of the nations each save his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
你们要谨防, 恐怕希西家劝导你们说: 耶和华必拯救我们. 列国的神有哪一个救他本国脱离亚述王的手呢?

36:19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
哈马和亚珥拔的神在哪里呢? 西法瓦音的神在哪里呢? 他们曾救撒马利亚脱离我的手吗?

36:20 Who are there among all the gods of these countries who have saved their land from my hand, that Yahweh should save Jerusalem from my hand?” ’ ”
这些国的神有谁曾救自己的国脱离我的手呢? 难道耶和华能救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗? ’”

36:21 But they were silent and did not answer him a word, for the command of the king was, “You must not answer him.”
百姓静默不言, 并不回答一句, 因为王曾吩咐说: “不要回答他. ”

36:22 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the palace, Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph, the reminder, came to Hezekiah with torn garments and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
当下希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬和书记舍伯那, 并亚萨的儿子史官约亚, 都撕裂衣服, 来到希西家那里, 将拉伯沙基的话告诉了他.

37:1 And this happened: When King Hezekiah heard, he tore his garments, covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the temple of Yahweh.
希西家王听见就撕裂衣服, 披上麻布, 进了耶和华的殿,

对他说: “希西家如此说: ‘今日是急难,责罚,凌辱的日子, 就如妇人将要生产婴孩, 却没有力量生产.

37:4 Maybe Yahweh your God heard the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to taunt the living God, and he will rebuke the words that Yahweh your God hears. And you must lift up a prayer for the benefit of the remnant that is found.’ ”
或者耶和华─你的神听见拉伯沙基的话, 就是他主人亚述王打发他来辱骂永生神的话; 耶和华─你的神听见这话就发斥责. 故此, 求你为余剩的民扬声祷告. ’”

37:5 When the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
希西家王的臣仆就去见以赛亚.

37:6 Isaiah said to them, “You must say this to your master: ‘Thus says Yahweh: “You must not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
以赛亚对他们说: “要这样对你们的主人说, 耶和华如此说: ‘你听见亚述王的仆人亵渎我的话, 不要惧怕.

37:7 Look! I am about to put a spirit in him so that he shall hear a rumor and he shall return to his land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his land.” ’ ”
我必惊动(原文是使灵进入)他的心; 他要听见风声就归回本地, 我必使他在那里倒在刀下. ’”

37:8 And Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that he had left from Lachish.
拉伯沙基回去, 正遇见亚述王攻打立拿; 原来他早听见亚述王拔营离开拉吉.

37:9 Now he heard concerning Tirhakah the king of Cush, saying, “He has set out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
亚述王听见人论古实王特哈加说: “他出来要与你争战. ”亚述王一听见, 就打发使者去见希西家, 吩咐他们说:

37:10 “You shall say this to Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust in him deceive you by saying, “Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
“你们对犹大王希西家如此说: ‘不要听你所倚靠的神欺哄你说: 耶路撒冷必不交在亚述王的手中.

37:11 Look! you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands to destroy them, and you—shall you be delivered?
你总听说亚述诸王向列国所行的乃是尽行灭绝, 难道你还能得救吗?

37:12 Did the gods of the nations that my predecessors destroyed deliver them—Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?
我列祖所毁灭的, 就是歌散,哈兰,利色, 和属提‧拉撒的伊甸人; 这些国的神何曾拯救这些国呢?

37:13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, or Ivvah?’ ”
哈马的王, 亚珥拔的王, 西法瓦音城的王, 希拿和以瓦的王, 都在哪里呢? ’”

37:14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it. Then he went up to the temple of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out before the presence of Yahweh.
希西家从使者手里接过书信来, 看完了, 就上耶和华的殿, 将书信在耶和华面前展开.

37:15 And Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh, saying,
希西家向耶和华祷告说:

37:16 “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel who is enthroned on the cherubim, you are the one, God by yourself, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you are the one who made the heavens and the earth.
“坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华─以色列的神啊, 你─惟有你是天下万国的神, 你曾创造天地.

37:17 Yahweh, extend your ear and hear! Yahweh, open your eyes and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to taunt the living God!
耶和华啊, 求你侧耳而听; 耶和华啊, 求你睁眼而看, 要听西拿基立的一切话, 他是打发使者来辱骂永生神的.

37:18 Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands and their land,
耶和华啊, 亚述诸王果然使列国和列国之地变为荒凉,

37:19 to set their gods in the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of human hands, wood and stone, and they destroyed them.
将列国的神像都扔在火里; 因为他本不是神, 乃是人手所造的, 是木头,石头的, 所以灭绝他.

37:20 So now, Yahweh, our God, save us from his hand so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh, you alone!”
耶和华─我们的神啊, 现在求你救我们脱离亚述王的手, 使天下万国都知道惟有你是耶和华. ”

37:21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh the God of Israel: ‘Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib, king of Assyria,
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚就打发人去见希西家, 说: “耶和华─以色列的神如此说, 你既然求我攻击亚述王西拿基立,

37:22 this is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him: She shows contempt for you; she derides you, virgin daughter of Zion; she shakes her head behind you, daughter of Jerusalem.
所以耶和华论他这样说: 锡安的处女藐视你, 嗤笑你; 耶路撒冷的女子向你摇头.

37:23 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed, and against whom have you raised up your voice and lifted your eyes upward? To the holy one of Israel!
你辱骂谁, 亵渎谁? 扬起声来, 高举眼目攻击谁呢? 乃是攻击以色列的圣者.

37:24 By the hand of your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said, “With my many chariots, I myself have gone up the height of the mountains, to the remote areas of Lebanon. And I cut off its tall cedars, the choicest of its junipers. And I came to the height of its limit, the forest of its orchard.
你藉你的臣仆辱骂主说: 我率领许多战车上山顶, 到黎巴嫩极深之处; 我要砍伐其中高大的香柏树和佳美的松树. 我必上极高之处, 进入肥田的树林.

37:25 I myself dug and drank waters, and I caused all the streams of Egypt to dry up by the sole of my feet.”
我已经挖井喝水; 我必用脚掌踏干埃及的一切河.

37:26 Have you not heard from a long time ago? I have made it from days of primeval time, and I formed it. Now I have brought it about, and it is for fortified cities to collapse into heaps of destroyed stones.
耶和华说: 你岂没有听见我早先所做的,古时所立的吗? 现在藉你使坚固城荒废, 变为乱堆.

37:27 And their inhabitants are weak; they are dismayed, and they are ashamed; they have become like plants of the field, and like greens of grass, like grass on the roofs and a cultivated field before the standing grain.
所以其中的居民力量甚小, 惊惶羞愧. 他们像野草, 像青菜, 如房顶上的草, 又如田间未长成的禾稼.

37:28 And I know your sitting down and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.
你坐下, 你出去, 你进来, 你向我发烈怒, 我都知道.

37:29 Because you were enraged against me, and your noise has come up to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle on your lips, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
因你向我发烈怒, 又因你狂傲的话达到我耳中, 我就要用钩子钩上你的鼻子, 把嚼环放在你口里, 使你从原路转回去.

37:30 And this shall be the sign for you: the eating of volunteer plants this year, and in the second year self-seeded plants, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
“以色列人哪, 我赐你们一个证据: 你们今年要吃自生的, 明年也要吃自长的, 至于后年, 你们要耕种收割, 栽植葡萄园, 吃其中的果子.

37:31 And the remnant of the house of Judah that remain shall grow roots downwards and make fruit upwards.
犹大家所逃脱余剩的, 仍要往下扎根, 向上结果.

37:32 For a remnant shall go out from Jerusalem and survivors from mountain Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.’
必有余剩的民从耶路撒冷而出; 必有逃脱的人从锡安山而来. 万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事.

37:33 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not come to this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, and he shall not meet it with a shield, and he shall not heap a siege ramp up against her.
“所以耶和华论亚述王如此说: 他必不得来到这城, 也不在这里射箭, 不得拿盾牌到城前, 也不筑垒攻城.

37:34 He shall return by the way that he came, and he shall not come to this city,’ declares Yahweh.
他从哪条路来, 必从那条路回去, 必不得来到这城. 这是耶和华说的.

37:35 ‘And I will defend this city, to save it for my sake and for the sake of David, my servant.’ ”
因我为自己的缘故, 又为我仆人大卫的缘故, 必保护拯救这城. ”

37:36 And the angel of Yahweh set out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When they rose in the morning, look! All of them were dead corpses.
耶和华的使者出去, 在亚述营中杀了十八万五千人. 清早有人起来一看, 都是死尸了.

37:37 Then Sennacherib king of Assyria left, went, and returned and lived at Nineveh.
亚述王西拿基立就拔营回去, 住在尼尼微.

37:38 And this happened: he was bowing in worship in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him with the sword. And they themselves escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-haddon his son reigned as king in his place.
一日在他的神─尼斯洛庙里叩拜, 他儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他, 就逃到亚拉腊地. 他儿子以撒哈顿接续他作王.

Isaiah - Chapter 38

38:1 In those days, Hezekiah became sick to death, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came to him and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Order your house, for you are about to die, and you shall not recover.’ ”
那时希西家病得要死, 亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他, 对他说: “耶和华如此说: 你当留遗命与你的家, 因为你必死不能活了. ”

38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to Yahweh,
希西家就转脸朝墙, 祷告耶和华说:

38:3 and he said, “O Yahweh, please remember how I have walked before your presence in faithfulness with a whole heart, and I have done the good in your eyes!” And Hezekiah wept with great weeping.
“耶和华啊, 求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心, 按诚实行事, 又做你眼中所看为善的. ”希西家就痛哭了.

38:4 Then the word of Yahweh came to Isaiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到以赛亚说:

38:5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your ancestor: “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I am going to add fifteen years to your days.
“你去告诉希西家说, 耶和华─你祖大卫的神如此说: 我听见了你的祷告, 看见了你的眼泪. 我必加增你十五年的寿数;

38:6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.” ’
并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手, 也要保护这城.

38:7 And this is the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken:
“我─耶和华必成就我所说的. 我先给你一个兆头,

38:8 Look! I will cause the shadow of the steps, which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz with the sun, to turn backwards ten steps.” And the sun turned back ten steps on the steps which it had gone down.
就是叫亚哈斯的日晷, 向前进的日影往后退十度. ”于是, 前进的日影果然在日晷上往后退了十度.

38:9 A writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he was sick and had recovered from his sickness:
犹大王希西家患病已经痊愈, 就作诗说:

38:10 I was the one who said, “I must go in the quiet of my days; I am summoned through the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years.”
我说: 正在我中年(或译: 晌午)之日必进入阴间的门; 我余剩的年岁不得享受.

38:11 I said, “I shall not see Yah! Yah in the land of the living! I shall no more look at humankind among the inhabitants of the world.
我说: 我必不得见耶和华, 就是在活人之地不见耶和华; 我与世上的居民不再见面.

38:12 My dwelling place is pulled up and removed from me like the tent of my shepherd; I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He cuts me off from the thrum; from day to night you bring me to an end.
我的住处被迁去离开我, 好像牧人的帐棚一样; 我将性命卷起, 像织布的卷布一样. 耶和华必将我从机头剪断, 从早到晚, 他要使我完结.

38:13 I lie down until morning; like a lion, so he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end.
我使自己安静直到天亮; 他像狮子折断我一切的骨头, 从早到晚, 他要使我完结.

38:14 Like a horse or a crane, so I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes are weak toward the height. Lord, I have oppression; lend me support!
我像燕子呢喃, 像白鹤鸣叫, 又像鸽子哀鸣; 我因仰观, 眼睛困倦. 耶和华啊, 我受欺压, 求你为我作保.

38:15 What can I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it. I will walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
我可说甚么呢? 他应许我的, 也给我成就了. 我因心里的苦楚, 在一生的年日必悄悄而行.

38:16 Lord, they live by them, and the life of my spirit belongs to all among them. And restore me to health and keep me alive!
主啊, 人得存活乃在乎此. 我灵存活也全在此. 所以求你使我痊愈, 仍然存活.

38:17 Look! Bitterness was bitter to me for peace. And you were the one who loved my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
看哪, 我受大苦, 本为使我得平安; 你因爱我的灵魂(或译: 生命)便救我脱离败坏的坑, 因为你将我一切的罪扔在你的背后.

38:18 For Sheol cannot praise you; death cannot praise you. Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness.
原来, 阴间不能称谢你, 死亡不能颂扬你; 下坑的人不能盼望你的诚实.

38:19 The living, the living one praises you like me today; a father will make your faithfulness known to children.
只有活人, 活人必称谢你, 像我今日称谢你一样. 为父的, 必使儿女知道你的诚实.

38:20 Yahweh, save me, and we will play my music on stringed instruments all the days of our lives at the temple of Yahweh.”
耶和华肯救我, 所以, 我们要一生一世在耶和华殿中用丝弦的乐器唱我的诗歌.

日子必到, 凡你家里所有的, 并你列祖积蓄到如今的, 都要被掳到巴比伦去, 不留下一样; 这是耶和华说的.

并且从你本身所生的众子, 其中必有被掳去,在巴比伦王宫里当太监的. ”

我没有在隐密黑暗之地说话; 我没有对雅各的后裔说: 你们寻求我是徒然的. 我─耶和华所讲的是公义, 所说的是正直.

45:20 Assemble and come; draw near together, survivors of the nations! They do not know, those who carry their wooden idols and pray to a god who cannot save.
你们从列国逃脱的人, 要一同聚集前来. 那些抬着雕刻木偶,祷告不能救人之神的, 毫无知识.

45:21 Declare and present your case, also let them consult together! Who made this known from former times, declared it from of old? Was it not I, Yahweh? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God besides me, and no savior besides me.
你们要述说陈明你们的理, 让他们彼此商议. 谁从古时指明? 谁从上古述说? 不是我─耶和华吗? 除了我以外, 再没有神; 我是公义的神, 又是救主; 除了我以外, 再没有别神.

45:22 Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none besides me.
地极的人都当仰望我, 就必得救; 因为我是神, 再没有别神.

45:23 I have sworn by myself; a word that shall not return has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness: ‘Every knee shall kneel down to me; every tongue shall swear.’
我指著自己起誓, 我口所出的话是凭公义, 并不反回: 万膝必向我跪拜; 万口必凭我起誓.

45:24 ‘Only in Yahweh,’ one shall say to me, ‘are righteousness and strength.’ He shall come to him, and all those who were angry with him shall be ashamed.
人论我说, 公义,能力, 惟独在乎耶和华; 人都必归向他. 凡向他发怒的必至蒙羞.

45:25 In Yahweh all the offspring of Israel shall be in the right, and they shall boast.”
以色列的后裔都必因耶和华得称为义, 并要夸耀.

Isaiah - Chapter 46

46:1 Bel bows down; Nebo is stooping. Their idols are on animals and on cattle; your cargo is carried as a burden on weary animals.
彼勒屈身, 尼波弯腰; 巴比伦的偶像驮在兽和牲畜上. 他们所抬的如今成了重驮, 使牲畜疲乏,

46:2 They stoop; they bow down together. They are not able to save the burden, but they themselves go in captivity.
都一同弯腰屈身, 不能保全重驮, 自己倒被掳去.

46:3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel who have been carried from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
雅各家, 以色列家一切余剩的要听我言: 你们自从生下, 就蒙我保抱, 自从出胎, 便蒙我怀搋.

46:4 Even to your old age I am he; even to your advanced age I myself will support you. I myself have made you, and I myself will carry you, and I myself will support you, and I will save you.
直到你们年老, 我仍这样; 直到你们发白, 我仍怀搋. 我已造作, 也必保抱; 我必怀抱, 也必拯救.

46:5 To whom will you liken me, and count as equal, and compare with me, as though we were alike?
你们将谁与我相比, 与我同等, 可以与我比较, 使我们相同呢?

46:6 Those who lavish gold from the purse and weigh out silver in the balance scales; hire a goldsmith and he makes him a god; they bow down, indeed they bow in worship.
那从囊中抓金子, 用天平平银子的人, 雇银匠制造神像, 他们又俯伏, 又叩拜.

46:7 They carry it on their shoulder; they support it and they set it in its place, and it stands in position. It cannot be removed from its place; even when he cries out to it, it does not answer. It does not save him from his trouble.
他们将神像抬起, 扛在肩上, 安置在定处, 它就站立, 不离本位; 人呼求它, 它不能答应, 也不能救人脱离患难.

46:8 Remember this and pluck up courage! Call to mind, you transgressors!
你们当想念这事, 自己作大丈夫. 悖逆的人哪, 要心里思想.

46:9 Remember the former things from a long time ago, for I am God and there is none besides me, God and there is none like me,
你们要追念上古的事. 因为我是神, 并无别神; 我是神, 再没有能比我的.

46:10 who from the beginning declares the end, and from before, things that have not been done, who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’ and, ‘I will accomplish all my wishes,’
我从起初指明末后的事, 从古时言明未成的事, 说: 我的筹算必立定; 凡我所喜悦的, 我必成就.

46:11 who calls a bird of prey from the east, the man of his plan from a country from afar. Indeed I have spoken; indeed I will bring it to being. I have formed it; indeed I will do it.
我召鸷鸟从东方来, 召那成就我筹算的人从远方来. 我已说出, 也必成就; 我已谋定, 也必做成.

46:12 Listen to me, strong of heart, far from righteousness!
你们这些心中顽梗,远离公义的, 当听我言.

46:13 I bring my righteousness near; it is not far. And my salvation will not delay; and I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory.”
我使我的公义临近, 必不远离. 我的救恩必不迟延; 我要为以色列─我的荣耀, 在锡安施行救恩.

Isaiah - Chapter 47

47:1 Come down and sit on the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of Chaldea! For they shall no longer call you tender and delicate.
巴比伦的处女啊, 下来坐在尘埃; 迦勒底的闺女啊, 没有宝座, 要坐在地上; 因为你不再称为柔弱娇嫩的.

47:2 Take the pair of mill stones and grind flour! Uncover your veil, strip off your skirt, uncover your thigh, pass through the rivers!
要用磨磨面, 揭去帕子, 脱去长衣, 露腿蹚河.

47:3 Your nakedness shall be exposed; indeed, your shame shall become visible. I will take vengeance and I will not spare a person.
你的下体必被露出; 你的丑陋必被看见. 我要报仇, 谁也不宽容.

47:4 Our redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is his name, the holy one of Israel.
我们救赎主的名是万军之耶和华─以色列的圣者.

47:5 Sit silently and go into the darkness, daughter of Chaldea, for they shall no longer call you mistress of kingdoms.
迦勒底的闺女啊, 你要默然静坐, 进入暗中, 因为你不再称为列国的主母.

47:6 I was angry with my people; I profaned my inheritance, and I gave them into your hand. You did not give them mercy; on the aged you made your yoke very heavy.
我向我的百姓发怒, 使我的产业被亵渎, 将他们交在你手中, 你毫不怜悯他们, 把极重的轭加在老年人身上.

47:7 And you said, “I shall be an eternal mistress forever!” You did not set these things upon your heart; you did not remember its end.
你自己说: 我必永为主母, 所以你不将这事放在心上, 也不思想这事的结局.

47:8 Therefore now hear this, luxuriant one who sits in security, who says in her heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one. I shall not sit as a widow, and I shall not know the loss of children.”
你这专好宴乐,安然居住的, 现在当听这话. 你心中说: 惟有我, 除我以外再没有别的. 我必不致寡居, 也不遭丧子之事.

47:9 And these two shall come to you in a moment, in one day: the loss of children and widowhood shall come on you completely, in spite of your many sorceries, in spite of the power of your great enchantments.
哪知, 丧子,寡居这两件事在一日转眼之间必临到你; 正在你多行邪术,广施符咒的时候, 这两件事必全然临到你身上.

47:10 And you felt secure in your wickedness; you said, “No one sees me.” Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, “I am, and besides me there is no one.”
你素来倚仗自己的恶行, 说: 无人看见我. 你的智慧聪明使你偏邪, 并且你心里说: 惟有我, 除我以外再没有别的.

47:11 And evil shall come upon you, you will not know; it will be on the lookout for her. And disaster shall fall upon you; you will not be able to avert it. And ruin shall come on you suddenly; you do not know.
因此, 祸患要临到你身, 你不知何时发现(或译: 如何驱逐); 灾害落在你身上, 你也不能除掉; 所不知道的毁灭也必忽然临到你身.

47:12 Stand, now, in your enchantments, and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth. Perhaps you may be able to benefit; perhaps you may scare away.
站起来吧! 用你从幼年劳神施行的符咒和你许多的邪术; 或者可得益处, 或者可得强胜.

47:13 You struggle with your many consultations; let them stand, now, and save you— those who see the stars, divide the celestial sphere, who inform by new moons— from those things that are coming upon you.
你筹划太多, 以致疲倦. 让那些观天象的, 看星宿的, 在月朔说预言的, 都站起来, 救你脱离所要临到你的事.

47:14 Look! They are like stubble; the fire burns them completely. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame; there is no coal for warming oneself, no fire before which to sit.
他们要像碎秸被火焚烧, 不能救自己脱离火焰之力; 这火并非可烤的炭火, 也不是可以坐在其前的火.

47:15 So are to you those with whom you have labored, your traders from your youth. They wander, each to his side; there is no one who can save you.
你所劳神的事都要这样与你无益; 从幼年与你贸易的也都各奔各乡, 无人救你.

Isaiah - Chapter 48

48:1 Hear this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel and came out from the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Yahweh, and invoke the God of Israel, but not in truth and not in righteousness.
雅各家, 称为以色列名下, 从犹大水源出来的, 当听我言! 你们指著耶和华的名起誓, 提说以色列的神, 却不凭诚实, 不凭公义.

48:2 For they call themselves after the holy city, and they lean on the God of Israel— Yahweh of hosts is his name.
他们自称为圣城的人, 所倚靠的是名为万军之耶和华─以色列的神.

48:3 “I declared the former things from of old, and they went out from my mouth. And I announced them suddenly; I acted, and they came to pass,
主说: 早先的事, 我从古时说明, 已经出了我的口, 也是我所指示的; 我忽然行做, 事便成就.

48:4 because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze.
因为我素来知道你是顽梗的─你的颈项是铁的; 你的额是铜的.

48:5 And I declared them to you from of old; I announced them to you before they came to pass so that you would not say, ‘My idol did them, and my image and my cast image commanded them.’
所以, 我从古时将这事给你说明, 在未成以先指示你, 免得你说: 这些事是我的偶像所行的, 是我雕刻的偶像和我铸造的偶像所命定的.

48:6 You have heard; see it all. And will you not declare it? I announce new things to you from this time and hidden things that you have not known.
你已经听见, 现在要看见这一切; 你不说明吗? 从今以后, 我将新事, 就是你所不知道的隐密事指示你.

48:7 Now they are created, and not from of old, and before today, and you have not heard them so that you could not say, “Look! I knew them.”
这事是现今造的, 并非从古就有; 在今日以先, 你也未曾听见, 免得你说: 这事我早已知道了.

48:8 Neither have you heard, nor have you known, nor from of old has your ear been opened. For I knew you would deal treacherously, very treacherously, and you are called a rebel from the womb.
你未曾听见, 未曾知道; 你的耳朵从来未曾开通. 我原知道你行事极其诡诈, 你自从出胎以来, 便称为悖逆的.

48:9 For the sake of my name I refrain from my anger, and for my praise I restrain it for you so as not to cut you off.
我为我的名暂且忍怒, 为我的颂赞向你容忍, 不将你剪除.

48:10 Look! I have refined you, but not like silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of misery.
我熬炼你, 却不像熬炼银子; 你在苦难的炉中, 我拣选你.

48:11 For my own sake, for my own sake I do it; for why should it be defiled? And I will not give my glory to another.”
我为自己的缘故必行这事, 我焉能使我的名被亵渎? 我必不将我的荣耀归给假神.

48:12 “Listen to me, Jacob, and Israel, whom I called: I am he. I am the first; also I am the last.
雅各─我所选召的以色列啊, 当听我言: 我是耶和华, 我是首先的, 也是末后的.

48:13 Indeed, my hand founded the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand in position together.
我手立了地的根基; 我右手铺张诸天; 我一招呼便都立住.

48:14 Assemble, all of you, and hear! Who among them declared these things? Yahweh loves him; he shall perform his wish against Babylon and his arm against the Chaldeans.
你们都当聚集而听, 他们(或译: 偶像)内中谁说过这些事? 耶和华所爱的人必向巴比伦行他所喜悦的事; 他的膀臂也要加在迦勒底人身上.

48:15 I, I myself, I have spoken! Indeed, I have called him. I have brought him, and he will be successful in his way.
惟有我曾说过, 我又选召他, 领他来, 他的道路就必亨通.

48:16 Draw near to me; hear this! I have not spoken in secrecy from the beginning; from the time it came to be, there I have been; And now the Lord Yahweh has sent me and his Spirit.”
你们要就近我来听这话: 我从起头并未曾在隐密处说话; 自从有这事, 我就在那里. 现在, 主耶和华差遣我和他的灵来(或译: 耶和华和他的灵差遣我来).

48:17 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, the holy one of Israel: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, leads you in the way you should go.
耶和华─你的救赎主, 以色列的圣者如此说: 我是耶和华─你的神, 教训你, 使你得益处, 引导你所当行的路.

48:18 O that you had listened attentively to my commandments! Then your prosperity would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
甚愿你素来听从我的命令! 你的平安就如河水; 你的公义就如海浪.

48:19 And your offspring would have been like the sand, and the descendants of your body like its grains. It would not be cut off, and its name would not be destroyed from my presence.”
你的后裔也必多如海沙; 你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒. 他的名在我面前必不剪除, 也不灭绝.

48:20 Go out from Babylon! Flee from Chaldea! Proclaim it with a shout of rejoicing; proclaim this! Send it forth to the end of the earth; say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
你们要从巴比伦出来, 从迦勒底人中逃脱, 以欢呼的声音传扬说: 耶和华救赎了他的仆人雅各! 你们要将这事宣扬到地极.

48:21 And when he led them through the deserts, they were not thirsty; he made water flow from the rock for them, and he split the rock, and the water gushed out.
耶和华引导他们经过沙漠. 他们并不干渴; 他为他们使水从磐石而流, 分裂磐石, 水就涌出.

48:22 “There is no peace,” says Yahweh, “for the wicked.”
耶和华说: 恶人必不得平安!

Isaiah - Chapter 49

49:1 Listen to me, coastlands, and listen attentively, peoples from far away! Yahweh called me from the womb; from the body of my mother he made my name known.
众海岛啊, 当听我言! 远方的众民哪, 留心而听! 自我出胎, 耶和华就选召我; 自出母腹, 他就提我的名.

49:2 And he made my mouth like a sharp sword; he hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he made me like an sharpened arrow; he hid me in his quiver.
他使我的口如快刀, 将我藏在他手荫之下; 又使我成为磨亮的箭, 将我藏在他箭袋之中;

49:3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will show my glory.”
对我说: 你是我的仆人以色列; 我必因你得荣耀.

49:4 But I myself said, “I have labored in vain; I have used up my strength for nothing and vanity! Nevertheless, my justice is with Yahweh, and my reward is with my God.”
我却说: 我劳碌是徒然; 我尽力是虚无虚空. 然而, 我当得的理必在耶和华那里; 我的赏赐必在我神那里.

49:5 And now Yahweh says, who formed me from the womb as a servant for him, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might not be gathered, for I am honored in the eyes of Yahweh, and my God has become my strength.
耶和华从我出胎, 造就我作他的仆人, 要使雅各归向他, 使以色列到他那里聚集. 原来耶和华看我为尊贵; 我的神也成为我的力量.

49:6 And he says, “It is trivial for you to be a servant for me, to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel. I will give you as a light to the nations, to be my salvation to the end of the earth.”
现在他说: 你作我的仆人, 使雅各众支派复兴, 使以色列中得保全的归回尚为小事, 我还要使你作外邦人的光, 叫你施行我的救恩, 直到地极.

49:7 Thus says Yahweh, the redeemer of Israel, his holy one, to the one who despises life, to the one who abhors the nation, to the slave of rulers: “Kings shall see and stand up; princes, and they shall bow down, for the sake of Yahweh, who is faithful, the holy one of Israel, and he has chosen you.”
救赎主─以色列的圣者耶和华对那被人所藐视,本国所憎恶,官长所虐待的如此说: 君王要看见就站起, 首领也要下拜; 都因信实的耶和华, 就是拣选你─以色列的圣者.

49:8 Thus says Yahweh: “I have answered you in a time of favor, and helped you on a day of salvation, and watched over you, and given you as a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to give the desolate hereditary property as an inheritance,
耶和华如此说: 在悦纳的时候, 我应允了你; 在拯救的日子, 我济助了你. 我要保护你, 使你作众民的中保(中保: 原文是约); 复兴遍地, 使人承受荒凉之地为业.

49:9 saying to the prisoners, “Come out!” to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves!” they shall feed along the ways, and their pasturage shall be on all the barren heights.
对那被捆绑的人说: 出来吧! 对那在黑暗的人说: 显露吧! 他们在路上必得饮食, 在一切净光的高处必有食物.

49:10 They shall not be hungry or thirsty, and heat and sun shall not strike them, for he who takes pity on them will lead them, and he will guide them to springs of water.
不饥不渴, 炎热和烈日必不伤害他们; 因为怜恤他们的必引导他们, 领他们到水泉旁边.

49:11 And I will make all my mountains like a road, and my highways shall lead up.
我必使我的众山成为大道; 我的大路也被修高.

49:12 Look! These shall come from afar, And look! These from the north and from the west and these from the land of Sinim.”
看哪, 这些从远方来; 这些从北方,从西方来; 这些从秦(原文是希尼)国来.

49:13 Sing for joy, heavens, and rejoice, earth! Mountains must break forth in rejoicing! For Yahweh has comforted his people, and he will take pity on his afflicted ones.
诸天哪, 应当欢呼! 大地啊, 应当快乐! 众山哪, 应当发声歌唱! 因为耶和华已经安慰他的百姓, 也要怜恤他困苦之民.

49:14 But Zion said, “Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me!”
锡安说: 耶和华离弃了我; 主忘记了我.

49:15 Can a woman forget her suckling, refrain from having compassion on the child of her womb? Indeed, these may forget, but I, I will not forget you!
妇人焉能忘记她吃奶的婴孩, 不怜恤她所生的儿子? 即或有忘记的, 我却不忘记你.

49:16 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
看哪, 我将你铭刻在我掌上; 你的墙垣常在我眼前.

49:17 Your children hasten; your destroyers and those who laid you waste depart from you.
你的儿女必急速归回; 毁坏你的, 使你荒废的, 必都离你出去,

49:18 Lift your eyes up all around and see; all of them gather; they come to you. As surely as I live, declares Yahweh, surely you shall put on all of them like an ornament, and you shall bind them on like a bride.
你举目向四方观看; 他们都聚集来到你这里. 耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓: 你必要以他们为妆饰佩戴, 以他们为华带束腰, 像新妇一样.

49:19 Surely your sites of ruins and desolate places and land of ruins, surely now you will be too cramped for your inhabitants, and those who engulfed you will be far away.
至于你荒废凄凉之处, 并你被毁坏之地, 现今众民居住必显为太窄; 吞灭你的必离你遥远.

49:20 Yet the children born when you were bereaved will say in your hearing, “The place is too cramped for me; make room for me so that I can dwell.”
你必听见丧子之后所生的儿女说: 这地方我居住太窄, 求你给我地方居住.

49:21 Then you will say in your heart, “Who has borne me these?” And, “I was bereaved and barren, exiled and thrust away; so who raised these? Look at me! I was left alone; where have these come from?”
那时你心里必说: 我既丧子独居, 是被掳的, 漂流在外. 谁给我生这些? 谁将这些养大呢? 撇下我一人独居的时候, 这些在哪里呢?

49:22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I will lift my hand up to the nations, and I will raise my signal to the peoples, and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
主耶和华如此说: 我必向列国举手, 向万民竖立大旗; 他们必将你的众子怀中抱来, 将你的众女肩上扛来.

49:23 And kings shall be your guardians, and their queens your nurses. They shall bow down, faces to the ground, to you, and they will lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; those who await me shall not be ashamed.
列王必作你的养父; 王后必作你的乳母. 他们必将脸伏地, 向你下拜, 并舔你脚上的尘土. 你便知道我是耶和华; 等候我的必不致羞愧.

49:24 Can war-booty be taken from the mighty? or can a captive of a righteous person be rescued?
勇士抢去的岂能夺回? 该掳掠的岂能解救吗?

49:25 But thus says Yahweh: “Indeed a captive of the mighty shall be taken, and the war-booty of the tyrant shall be rescued, for I myself will dispute with your opponent, and I myself will save your children.
但耶和华如此说: 就是勇士所掳掠的, 也可以夺回; 强暴人所抢的, 也可以解救. 与你相争的, 我必与他相争; 我要拯救你的儿女.

49:26 And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am Yahweh, your savior and redeemer, the strong one of Jacob.”
并且我必使那欺压你的吃自己的肉, 也要以自己的血喝醉, 好像喝甜酒一样. 凡有血气的必都知道我─耶和华是你的救主, 是你的救赎主, 是雅各的大能者.

Isaiah - Chapter 50

50:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Where is this divorce document of your mother’s divorce, with which I dismissed her? or to whom of my creditors did I sell you? Look! you were sold because of your sin, and your mother was dismissed because of your transgressions.
耶和华如此说: 我休你们的母亲, 休书在哪里呢? 我将你们卖给我哪一个债主呢? 你们被卖, 是因你们的罪孽; 你们的母亲被休, 是因你们的过犯.

50:2 Why was there no man when I came, no one who answered when I called? Do I lack the strength to save? Or is there no power in me to deliver? Look! by my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert; their fish stink because there is no water, and they die because of thirst.
我来的时候, 为何无人等候呢? 我呼唤的时候, 为何无人答应呢? 我的膀臂岂是缩短,不能救赎吗? 我岂无拯救之力吗? 看哪, 我一斥责, 海就干了; 我使江河变为旷野; 其中的鱼因无水腥臭, 干渴而死.

50:3 I clothe the heavens with darkness, and I make their covering sackcloth.”
我使诸天以黑暗为衣服, 以麻布为遮盖.

50:4 The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of a pupil, to know how to help the weary with a word. He awakens morning by morning, awakens an ear for me to listen as do the pupils.
主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头, 使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人. 主每早晨提醒, 提醒我的耳朵, 使我能听, 像受教者一样.

50:5 The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me, and I, I was not rebellious. I did not turn backwards;
主耶和华开通我的耳朵; 我并没有违背, 也没有退后.

50:6 I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from insults and spittle.
人打我的背, 我任他打; 人拔我腮颊的胡须, 我由他拔; 人辱我, 吐我, 我并不掩面.

50:7 And the Lord Yahweh helps me, therefore I have not been put to shame; therefore I have set my face like flint. And I know that I shall not be ashamed;
主耶和华必帮助我, 所以我不抱愧. 我硬著脸面好像坚石; 我也知道我必不致蒙羞.

50:8 he who obtains rights for me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand together. Who is the master of my judgment? Let him approach me.
称我为义的与我相近; 谁与我争论, 可以与我一同站立; 谁与我作对, 可以就近我来.

50:9 Look! The Lord Yahweh helps me. Who is the one who will declare me guilty? Look! All of them will be worn out like a garment; the moth will eat them.
主耶和华要帮助我; 谁能定我有罪呢? 他们都像衣服渐渐旧了, 为蛀虫所咬.

50:10 Who among you is in fear of Yahweh, obeys the voice of his servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light, trusts in the name of Yahweh and depends on his God?
你们中间谁是敬畏耶和华,听从他仆人之话的? 这人行在暗中, 没有亮光. 当倚靠耶和华的名, 仗赖自己的神.

50:11 Look! All of you are kindlers of fire, who gird yourselves with flaming arrows. Walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows you have kindled! You shall have this from my hand: you shall lie down in a place of torment.
凡你们点火, 用火把围绕自己的可以行在你们的火焰里, 并你们所点的火把中. 这是我手所定的: 你们必躺在悲惨之中.

Isaiah - Chapter 51

51:1 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the excavation of the pit from which you were quarried.
你们这追求公义,寻求耶和华的, 当听我言! 你们要追想被凿而出的磐石, 被挖而出的岩穴.

51:2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah; she brought you forth. For I called him alone, but I blessed him and made him numerous.”
要追想你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕和生养你们的撒拉; 因为亚伯拉罕独自一人的时候, 我选召他, 赐福与他, 使他人数增多.

51:3 For Yahweh will comfort Zion; he will comfort all its sites of ruins. And he will make its wilderness like Eden, and its desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in it, thanksgiving and the sound of song.
耶和华已经安慰锡安和锡安一切的荒场, 使旷野像伊甸, 使沙漠像耶和华的园囿; 在其中必有欢喜,快乐,感谢, 和歌唱的声音.

51:4 “Listen attentively to me, my people, and my nation, listen to me! For a teaching will go out from me, and I will cause my justice to rest for a light to the peoples.
我的百姓啊, 要向我留心; 我的国民哪, 要向我侧耳; 因为训诲必从我而出; 我必坚定我的公理为万民之光.

51:5 My righteousness is near; my salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The coastlands wait for me, and for my arm they wait.
我的公义临近; 我的救恩发出. 我的膀臂要审判万民; 海岛都要等候我, 倚赖我的膀臂.

51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look to the earth beneath, for the heavens will be torn to pieces like smoke, and the earth will be worn out like a garment, and those who inhabit her will die like gnats. But my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be broken to pieces.
你们要向天举目, 观看下地; 因为天必像烟云消散, 地必如衣服渐渐旧了; 其上的居民也要如此死亡(如此死亡: 或译像蠓虫死亡). 惟有我的救恩永远长存; 我的公义也不废掉.

51:7 Listen to me, you who know righteousness, people who have my teaching in their heart; you must not fear the reproach of men, or be terrified because of their abuse.
知道公义,将我训诲存在心中的民, 要听我言! 不要怕人的辱骂, 也不要因人的毁谤惊惶.

51:8 For a moth will eat them like garments; a moth will devour them like wool, but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation for generation after generation.”
因为蛀虫必咬他们, 好像咬衣服; 虫子必咬他们, 如同咬羊绒. 惟有我的公义永远长存, 我的救恩直到万代.

51:9 Awake! Awake; put on strength, O arm of Yahweh! Awake as in days of long ago, the generations of a long time back! Are you not the one who cut Rahab in pieces, the one who pierced the sea-dragon?
耶和华的膀臂啊, 兴起! 兴起! 以能力为衣穿上, 像古时的年日,上古的世代兴起一样. 从前砍碎拉哈伯,刺透大鱼的, 不是你吗?

51:10 Are you not the one who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, the one who made the depths of the sea a way for those who are redeemed to cross over?
使海与深渊的水干涸,使海的深处变为赎民经过之路的, 不是你吗?

51:11 So the redeemed ones of Yahweh shall return, and they shall come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. Joy and gladness shall appear; sorrow and sighing shall flee away!
耶和华救赎的民必归回, 歌唱来到锡安; 永乐必归到他们的头上. 他们必得着欢喜快乐; 忧愁叹息尽都逃避.

51:12 “I, I am he who comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man? He dies! And of the son of humankind? He is sacrificed as grass!
惟有我, 是安慰你们的. 你是谁, 竟怕那必死的人? 怕那要变如草的世人?

51:13 And you have forgotten Yahweh, your maker, who stretched out the heavens, and founded the earth. And you tremble continually, all day, because of the wrath of the oppressor when he takes aim to destroy. But where is the wrath of the oppressor?
却忘记铺张诸天,立定地基,创造你的耶和华? 又因欺压者图谋毁灭要发的暴怒, 整天害怕, 其实那欺压者的暴怒在哪里呢?

51:14 The fettered one shall make haste to be freed. And he shall not die in the pit, and he shall not lack his bread.
被掳去的快得释放, 必不死而下坑; 他的食物也不致缺乏.

51:15 For I am Yahweh, your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Yahweh of hosts is his name.
我是耶和华─你的神─搅动大海, 使海中的波浪匉訇─万军之耶和华是我的名.

51:16 And I have put my words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of my hand, to plant the heavens and to found the earth, saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”
我将我的话传给你, 用我的手影遮蔽你, 为要栽定诸天, 立定地基, 又对锡安说: 你是我的百姓.

51:17 Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Stand up, Jerusalem, who have drunk from the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath; you have drunk the goblet, the cup of staggering; you have drained it out.
耶路撒冷啊, 兴起! 兴起! 站起来! 你从耶和华手中喝了他忿怒之杯, 喝了那使人东倒西歪的爵, 以致喝尽.

51:18 There is no one who guides her among all the children she has borne, and there is no one who grasps her by the hand among all the children she raised.
她所生育的诸子中, 没有一个引导她的; 她所养大的诸子中, 没有一个搀扶她的.

51:19 Two things here have happened to you—who will show sympathy for you?— devastation and destruction, famine and sword—who will comfort you?
荒凉,毁灭,饥荒,刀兵, 这几样临到你, 谁为你举哀? 我如何能安慰你呢?

51:20 Your children have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a snare, those who are full of the wrath of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
你的众子发昏, 在各市口上躺卧, 好像黄羊在网罗之中, 都满了耶和华的忿怒─你神的斥责.

51:21 Therefore hear now this afflicted one and drunken one but not from wine.
因此, 你这困苦却非因酒而醉的, 要听我言.

51:22 Thus says your Lord, Yahweh, and your God pleads the cause of his people: “Look! I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering. You shall not continue to drink the goblet, the cup of my wrath, any longer.
你的主耶和华─就是为他百姓辨屈的神如此说: 看哪, 我已将那使人东倒西歪的杯, 就是我忿怒的爵, 从你手中接过来; 你必不致再喝.

51:23 And I will put it in the hand of your tormenters, who have said to you, ‘Bow down that we may pass over you!’ And you have made your back like the ground, and like the street for those who pass over you.”
我必将这杯递在苦待你的人手中; 他们曾对你说: 你屈身, 由我们践踏过去吧! 你便以背为地, 好像街市, 任人经过.

Isaiah - Chapter 52

52:1 Awake! Awake; put on your strength, Zion! Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall not continue to enter you any longer.
锡安哪, 兴起! 兴起! 披上你的能力! 圣城耶路撒冷啊, 穿上你华美的衣服! 因为从今以后, 未受割礼,不洁净的必不再进入你中间.

52:2 Shake yourself free from the dust! Rise up; sit, Jerusalem! Free yourselves from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
耶路撒冷啊, 要抖下尘土! 起来坐在位上! 锡安被掳的居民(原文是女子)哪, 要解开你颈项的锁链!

52:3 For thus says Yahweh: “You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.”
耶和华如此说: “你们是无价被卖的, 也必无银被赎.

52:4 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “My people went down to Egypt in the beginning, to dwell as aliens there, and Assyria oppressed him without cause.
主耶和华如此说: 起先我的百姓下到埃及, 在那里寄居, 又有亚述人无故欺压他们.

52:5 And now what do I have here?”declares Yahweh, “for my people is taken without cause. Its rulers howl,” declares Yahweh—“and my name is reviled continually, all day.
耶和华说: 我的百姓既是无价被掳去, 如今我在这里做甚么呢? 耶和华说: 辖制他们的人呼叫, 我的名整天受亵渎.

52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name, therefore in that day, that I am the one who speaks. Here am I.”
所以, 我的百姓必知道我的名; 到那日他们必知道说这话的就是我. 看哪, 是我! ”

52:7 How delightful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns as a king.”
那报佳音, 传平安, 报好信, 传救恩的, 对锡安说: 你的神作王了! 这人的脚登山何等佳美!

52:8 The voices of your watchmen! They lift up their voices; together they sing for joy; for they clearly see Yahweh’s return to Zion.
听啊, 你守望之人的声音, 他们扬起声来, 一同歌唱; 因为耶和华归回锡安的时候, 他们必亲眼看见.

52:9 Break forth, sing for joy together, ruins of Jerusalem, for Yahweh has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.
耶路撒冷的荒场啊, 要发起欢声, 一同歌唱; 因为耶和华安慰了他的百姓, 救赎了耶路撒冷.

52:10 Yahweh has bared his holy arm to the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
耶和华在万国眼前露出圣臂; 地极的人都看见我们神的救恩了.

52:11 Depart, depart, go out from there! You must not touch any unclean thing. Go out from the midst of it, keep clean, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.
你们离开吧! 离开吧! 从巴比伦出来. 不要沾不洁净的物; 要从其中出来. 你们扛抬耶和华器皿的人哪, 务要自洁.

52:12 For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for Yahweh is going before you, and your rear guard is the God of Israel.
你们出来必不致急忙, 也不致奔逃. 因为, 耶和华必在你们前头行; 以色列的神必作你们的后盾.

52:13 Look, my servant shall achieve success; he shall be exalted, and he shall be lifted up, and he shall be very high.
我的仆人行事必有智慧(或译: 行事通达), 必被高举上升, 且成为至高.

52:14 Just as many were appalled at you— such was his appearance beyond human disfigurement, and his form beyond the sons of mankind—
许多人因他(原文是你)惊奇; 他的面貌比别人憔悴; 他的形容比世人枯槁.

52:15 so he shall sprinkle many nations; because of him, kings shall shut their mouths. For they shall see what has not been told them, and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.
这样, 他必洗净(或译: 鼓动)许多国民; 君王要向他闭口. 因所未曾传与他们的, 他们必看见; 未曾听见的, 他们要明白.

Isaiah - Chapter 53

53:1 Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
我们所传的(或译: 所传与我们的)有谁信呢? 耶和华的膀臂向谁显露呢?

53:2 For he went up like a shoot before him, and like a root from dry ground. He had no form and no majesty that we should see him, and no appearance that we should take pleasure in him.
他在耶和华面前生长如嫩芽, 像根出于干地. 他无佳形美容; 我们看见他的时候, 也无美貌使我们羡慕他.

53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering, and acquainted with sickness, and like one from whom others hide their faces, he was despised, and we did not hold him in high regard.
他被藐视, 被人厌弃; 多受痛苦, 常经忧患. 他被藐视, 好像被人掩面不看的一样; 我们也不尊重他.

53:4 However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses, and he carried our pain, yet we ourselves assumed him stricken, struck down by God and afflicted.
他诚然担当我们的忧患, 背负我们的痛苦; 我们却以为他受责罚, 被神击打苦待了.

53:5 But he was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his wounds we were healed.
哪知他为我们的过犯受害, 为我们的罪孽压伤. 因他受的刑罚, 我们得平安; 因他受的鞭伤, 我们得医治.

53:6 All of us have wandered about like sheep; we each have turned to his own way; and Yahweh let fall on him the iniquity of us all.
我们都如羊走迷; 各人偏行己路; 耶和华使我们众人的罪孽都归在他身上.

53:7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep is dumb before its shearers, so he did not open his mouth.
他被欺压, 在受苦的时候却不开口(或译: 他受欺压, 却自卑不开口); 他像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地, 又像羊在剪毛的人手下无声, 他也是这样不开口.

53:8 He was taken by restraint of justice, and who concerned himself with his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living; he received a blow because of the transgression of my people.
因受欺压和审判, 他被夺去, 至于他同世的人, 谁想他受鞭打,从活人之地被剪除, 是因我百姓的罪过呢?

53:9 He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
他虽然未行强暴, 口中也没有诡诈, 人还使他与恶人同埋; 谁知死的时候与财主同葬.

53:10 Yet Yahweh was pleased to crush him; he made him sick. If she places his life a guilt offering, he will see offspring. He will prolong days, and the will of Yahweh will succeed in his hand.
耶和华却定意(或译: 喜悦)将他压伤, 使他受痛苦. 耶和华以他为赎罪祭(或译: 他献本身为赎罪祭). 他必看见后裔, 并且延长年日. 耶和华所喜悦的事必在他手中亨通.

53:11 From the trouble of his life he will see; he will be satisfied. In his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, shall declare many righteous, and he is the one who will bear their iniquities.
他必看见自己劳苦的功效, 便心满意足. 有许多人因认识我的义仆得称为义; 并且他要担当他们的罪孽.

53:12 Therefore, I will divide to him a portion among the many, and with the strong ones he will divide bounty, because he poured his life out to death and was counted with the transgressors; and he was the one who bore the sin of many and will intercede for the transgressors.
所以, 我要使他与位大的同分, 与强盛的均分掳物. 因为他将命倾倒, 以致于死; 他也被列在罪犯之中. 他却担当多人的罪, 又为罪犯代求.

Isaiah - Chapter 54

54:1 “Sing for joy, barren woman; who has not borne! Burst forth into rejoicing and rejoice, she who has not been in labor! For the children of the desolate woman are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
你这不怀孕,不生养的要歌唱; 你这未曾经过产难的要发声歌唱, 扬声欢呼; 因为没有丈夫的比有丈夫的儿女更多. 这是耶和华说的.

54:2 “Enlarge the site of your tent, and let them stretch out the tent curtains of your dwelling place. You must not spare; make your tent cords long and strengthen your pegs,
要扩张你帐幕之地, 张大你居所的幔子, 不要限止; 要放长你的绳子, 坚固你的橛子.

54:3 for you will spread out to the right and to the left. And your descendants will be heir to the nations, and they will inhabit desolate towns.
因为你要向左向右开展; 你的后裔必得多国为业, 又使荒凉的城邑有人居住.

54:4 You must not fear, for you will not be ashamed, and you must not be confounded, for you will not feel abashed, for you will forget the shame of your youth, and you will no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
不要惧怕, 因你必不致蒙羞; 也不要抱愧, 因你必不致受辱. 你必忘记幼年的羞愧, 不再记念你寡居的羞辱.

54:5 For your husband is your maker, his name is Yahweh of hosts; and your redeemer is the holy one of Israel, he is called the God of all of the earth.
因为造你的是你的丈夫; 万军之耶和华是他的名. 救赎你的是以色列的圣者; 他必称为全地之神.

54:6 For Yahweh has called you like a wife forsaken and hurt of spirit, like the wife of childhood when she is rejected, says your God.
耶和华召你, 如召被离弃心中忧伤的妻, 就是幼年所娶被弃的妻. 这是你神所说的.

54:7 I abandoned you for a short moment, but I will gather you with great compassion.
我离弃你不过片时, 却要施大恩将你收回.

54:8 I hid my face from you for a moment, in the flowing of anger, but I will have compassion on you with everlasting faithfulness” says your redeemer, Yahweh.
我的怒气涨溢, 顷刻之间向你掩面, 却要以永远的慈爱怜恤你. 这是耶和华─你的救赎主说的.

54:9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so I swore that I would not be angry at you and rebuke you.
这事在我好像挪亚的洪水. 我怎样起誓不再使挪亚的洪水漫过遍地, 我也照样起誓不再向你发怒, 也不斥责你.

54:10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills may sway, but my faithfulness shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not sway,” says Yahweh, who has compassion on you,
大山可以挪开, 小山可以迁移; 但我的慈爱必不离开你; 我平安的约也不迁移. 这是怜恤你的耶和华说的.

54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, who is not consoled. Look! I am about to set your stones in hard mortar, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires.
你这受困苦,被风飘荡不得安慰的人哪, 我必以彩色安置你的石头, 以蓝宝石立定你的根基;

54:12 And I will make your battlements of ruby, and your gates of stones of beryl, and all your wall of precious stones.
又以红宝石造你的女墙, 以红玉造你的城门, 以宝石造你四围的边界(或译: 外郭).

54:13 And all your children shall be pupils of Yahweh, and the peace of your children shall be great.
你的儿女都要受耶和华的教训; 你的儿女必大享平安.

54:14 In righteousness you shall be established. Be far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
你必因公义得坚立, 必远离欺压, 不致害怕; 你必远离惊吓, 惊吓必不临近你.

54:15 If indeed one attacks, it is not from me; whoever attacks you shall fall because of you.
即或有人聚集, 却不由于我; 凡聚集攻击你的, 必因你仆倒(或译: 投降你).

54:16 Look! I myself have created the craftsman who blows the fire of coals, and who produces a weapon for his work; also I myself have created the destroyer to destroy.
吹嘘炭火,打造合用器械的铁匠是我所造; 残害人,行毁灭的也是我所造.

54:17 Every weapon formed against you shall not succeed, and you shall declare guilty every tongue that rises against you for judgment. This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh, and their legal right from me,” declares Yahweh.
凡为攻击你造成的器械必不利用; 凡在审判时兴起用舌攻击你的, 你必定他为有罪. 这是耶和华仆人的产业, 是他们从我所得的义. 这是耶和华说的.

Isaiah - Chapter 55

55:1 “Ho! Everyone thirsty, come to the waters! And whoever has no money, come, buy and eat, and come, buy without money, wine and milk without price!
你们一切干渴的都当就近水来; 没有银钱的也可以来. 你们都来, 买了吃; 不用银钱, 不用价值, 也来买酒和奶.

55:2 Why do you weigh out money for what is not food, and your labor for what cannot satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and let your soul take pleasure in rich food.
你们为何花钱(原文是平银)买那不足为食物的? 用劳碌得来的买那不使人饱足的呢? 你们要留意听我的话就能吃那美物, 得享肥甘, 心中喜乐.

55:3 Extend your ear, and come to me! Listen so that your soul may live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the enduring proofs of the mercies shown to David.
你们当就近我来; 侧耳而听, 就必得活. 我必与你们立永约, 就是应许大卫那可靠的恩典.

55:4 Look! I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and a commander for the peoples.
我已立他作万民的见证, 为万民的君王和司令.

55:5 Look! You shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that does not know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and the holy one of Israel, for he has glorified you.”
你素不认识的国民, 你也必召来; 素不认识你的国民也必向你奔跑, 都因耶和华─你的神以色列的圣者, 因为他已经荣耀你.

55:6 Seek Yahweh while he lets himself be found; call him while he is near.
当趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找他, 相近的时候求告他.

55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of sin his thoughts. And let him return to Yahweh, that he may take pity on him, and to our God, for he will forgive manifold.
恶人当离弃自己的道路; 不义的人当除掉自己的意念. 归向耶和华, 耶和华就必怜恤他; 当归向我们的神, 因为神必广行赦免.

55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: 我的意念非同你们的意念; 我的道路非同你们的道路.

55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
天怎样高过地, 照样, 我的道路高过你们的道路; 我的意念高过你们的意念.

55:10 For just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and they do not return there except they have watered the earth thoroughly and cause it to bring forth and sprout, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
雨雪从天而降, 并不返回, 却滋润地土, 使地上发芽结实, 使撒种的有种, 使要吃的有粮.

55:11 so shall be my word that goes out from my mouth. It shall not return to me without success, but shall accomplish what I desire and be successful in the thing for which I sent it.
我口所出的话也必如此, 决不徒然返回, 却要成就我所喜悦的, 在我发他去成就(发他去成就: 或译所命定)的事上必然亨通.

55:12 For you shall go out in joy, and you shall be led in peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you, rejoicing and all the trees of the field shall clap hands.
你们必欢欢喜喜而出来, 平平安安蒙引导. 大山小山必在你们面前发声歌唱; 田野的树木也都拍掌.

55:13 Instead of the thorn bush, the juniper shall go up; instead of the brier, the myrtle shall go up, and it shall serve as a memorial to Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
松树长出, 代替荆棘; 番石榴长出, 代替蒺藜. 这要为耶和华留名, 作为永远的证据, 不能剪除.

Isaiah - Chapter 56

56:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Observe justice and do righteousness, for my salvation is close to coming, and my justice to being revealed.
耶和华如此说: 你们当守公平, 行公义; 因我的救恩临近, 我的公义将要显现.

56:2 Happy is the man who does this, and the son of humankind who keeps hold of it, who keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it, and who keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
谨守安息日而不干犯, 禁止己手而不作恶; 如此行,如此持守的人便为有福.

56:3 And do not let the foreigner who joins himself to Yahweh say, “Surely Yahweh will separate me from his people.” And do not let the eunuch say, “Look! I am a dry tree!”
与耶和华联合的外邦人不要说: 耶和华必定将我从他民中分别出来. 太监也不要说: 我是枯树.

56:4 For thus says Yahweh, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose that in which I delight, and who keep hold of my covenant.
因为耶和华如此说: 那些谨守我的安息日, 拣选我所喜悦的事, 持守我约的太监,

56:5 And I will give them a monument and a name in my house and within my walls, better than sons and daughters; I will give him an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.
我必使他们在我殿中, 在我墙内, 有记念, 有名号, 比有儿女的更美. 我必赐他们永远的名, 不能剪除.

56:6 And the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him and to love the name of Yahweh, to become his servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath, so as not to profane it, and those who keep hold of my covenant,
还有那些与耶和华联合的外邦人, 要事奉他, 要爱耶和华的名, 要作他的仆人─就是凡守安息日不干犯, 又持守他(原文是我)约的人.

56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain; I will make them merry in my house of prayer. their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples,”
我必领他们到我的圣山, 使他们在祷告我的殿中喜乐. 他们的燔祭和平安祭, 在我坛上必蒙悦纳, 因我的殿必称为万民祷告的殿.

56:8 declares the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the scattered ones of Israel (still I will gather to him, to his gathered ones).
主耶和华, 就是招聚以色列被赶散的, 说: 在这被招聚的人以外, 我还要招聚别人归并他们.

56:9 All wild animals in the field, come, to devour, all wild animals in the forest!
田野的诸兽都来吞吃吧! 林中的诸兽也要如此.

56:10 His watchmen are blind, none of them know. They are all dumb dogs; they are unable to bark, panting, lying down, loving to slumber.
他看守的人是瞎眼的, 都没有知识, 都是哑巴狗, 不能叫唤; 但知做梦, 躺卧, 贪睡,

56:11 And the dogs have a greedy appetite; they are never satisfied. And they are the shepherds! They do not have understanding. They all turn to their own way, each one for his own gain, every one of them.
这些狗贪食, 不知饱足. 这些牧人不能明白─各人偏行己路, 各从各方求自己的利益.

56:12 “Come, let me take wine, and let us carouse with intoxicating drink, and tomorrow will be like today, very great indeed.”
他们说: 来吧! 我去拿酒, 我们饱饮浓酒; 明日必和今日一样, 就是宴乐无量极大之日.

Isaiah - Chapter 57

57:1 The righteous one perishes, and there is no one who takes it to heart. And men of faithfulness are gathered, while there is no one who understands, for the righteous is gathered from the presence of wickedness.
义人死亡, 无人放在心上; 虔诚人被收去, 无人思念. 这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患;

57:2 he enters into peace; they will rest on their beds, walking straight ahead of him.
他们得享(原文是进入)平安. 素行正直的, 各人在坟里(原文是床上)安歇.

57:3 “But you, come near here, you children of a soothsayer, offspring of an adulterer and she who commits fornication.
你们这些巫婆的儿子, 奸夫和妓女的种子, 都要前来!

57:4 At whom do you make fun? At whom do you open your mouth and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deception,
你们向谁戏笑? 向谁张口吐舌呢? 你们岂不是悖逆的儿女, 虚谎的种类呢?

57:5 who burn with lust among the oaks, under every leafy tree, who slaughter children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
你们在橡树中间, 在各青翠树下欲火攻心; 在山谷间, 在石穴下杀了儿女;

57:6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; they, they are your lot; indeed, to them you have poured out a drink offering, you have brought a food offering. Shall I relent concerning these things?
在谷中光滑石头里有你的分. 这些就是你所得的分; 你也向他浇了奠祭, 献了供物, 因这事我岂能容忍吗?

57:7 You have set your bed upon a high and lofty mountain; indeed, you went up there to slaughter sacrifice.
你在高而又高的山上安设床榻, 也上那里去献祭.

57:8 And you have set your symbol behind the door and the doorpost; for you depart from me, and you go up; you make your bed wide, and you make a deal with them, you have loved their bed; you have seen their genitals.
你在门后, 在门框后, 立起你的纪念; 向外人赤露, 又上去扩张床榻, 与他们立约; 你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱.

57:9 And you climbed down to the king with oil, and you made your perfumes numerous, and you sent your envoys far away, and you sent down deep to Sheol.
你把油带到王那里, 又多加香料, 打发使者往远方去, 自卑自贱直到阴间,

57:10 You grow weary by the greatness of your way, but you did not say, ‘Despairing!’ You found the renewal of your strength, therefore you do not grow weak.
你因路远疲倦, 却不说这是枉然; 你以为有复兴之力, 所以不觉疲惫.

57:11 And of whom were you afraid and feared, that you deceived and did not remember me? Did you not place it on your heart? Have I not been silent, even from long ago, and so you do not fear me?
你怕谁? 因谁恐惧? 竟说谎, 不记念我, 又不将这事放在心上. 我不是许久闭口不言, 你仍不怕我吗?

57:12 I myself will declare your righteousness and your works, but they will not benefit you.
我要指明你的公义; 至于你所行的都必与你无益.

57:13 When you cry, let your collection deliver you, and the wind will carry all of them away; a breath will take them away. But he who takes refuge in me shall take possession of the land, and he shall inherit my holy mountain.”
你哀求的时候, 让你所聚集的拯救你吧! 风要把他们刮散, 一口气要把他们都吹去. 但那投靠我的必得地土, 必承受我的圣山为业.

57:14 And one shall say, “Build up, build up! Clear the way! Remove the obstacles from the way of my people!”
耶和华要说: 你们修筑修筑, 预备道路, 将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉.

57:15 For thus says the high and lofty one who resides forever, and whose name is holy: “I reside in a high and holy place, and with the contrite and humble of spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
因为那至高至上,永远长存(原文是住在永远)名为圣者的如此说: 我住在至高至圣的所在, 也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居; 要使谦卑人的灵苏醒, 也使痛悔人的心苏醒.

57:16 For I will not attack forever, and I will not be angry forever, for the spirit will grow faint before me, and the breaths that I myself I have made.
我必不永远相争, 也不长久发怒, 恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏.

57:17 I was angry because of his sin of gain, and I struck him; I hid and I was angry, but he walked apostate, in the ways of his heart.
因他贪婪的罪孽, 我就发怒击打他; 我向他掩面发怒, 他却仍然随心背道.

57:18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; and I will lead him and give him and his mourners comfort as a recompense,
我看见他所行的道, 也要医治他; 又要引导他, 使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰.

57:19 creating fruit of lips. Peace, peace to the far and near,” says Yahweh, “and I will heal him.
我造就嘴唇的果子; 愿平安康泰归与远处的人, 也归与近处的人; 并且我要医治他. 这是耶和华说的.

57:20 But the wicked are like the churning sea, that is not able to keep quiet, and its waters toss up mire and mud.
惟独恶人, 好像翻腾的海, 不得平静; 其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来.

57:21 There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
我的神说: 恶人必不得平安!

Isaiah - Chapter 58

58:1 “Call with the throat; you must not keep back! lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their rebellion, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
你要大声喊叫, 不可止息; 扬起声来, 好像吹角. 向我百姓说明他们的过犯; 向雅各家说明他们的罪恶.

58:2 Yet they seek me day by day, and they desire the knowledge of my ways like a nation that practiced righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of its God; they ask me for righteous judgments, they desire the closeness of God.
他们天天寻求我, 乐意明白我的道, 好像行义的国民, 不离弃他们神的典章, 向我求问公义的判语, 喜悦亲近神.

58:3 ‘Why do we fast, and you do not see it? We humiliate our soul, and you do not notice it?’ Look! You find delight on the day of your fast, and you oppress all your workers!
他们说: 我们禁食, 你为何不看见呢? 我们刻苦己心, 你为何不理会呢? 看哪, 你们禁食的日子仍求利益, 勒逼人为你们做苦工.

58:4 Look! You fast to quarrel and strife, and to strike with a wicked fist. You shall not fast as you do today, to make your voice heard on the height.
你们禁食, 却互相争竞, 以凶恶的拳头打人. 你们今日禁食, 不得使你们的声音听闻于上.

58:5 Is the fast I choose like this, a day for humankind to humiliate himself? To bow his head like a reed, and make his bed on sackcloth and ashes; you call this a fast and a day of pleasure to Yahweh?
这样禁食岂是我所拣选,使人刻苦己心的日子吗? 岂是叫人垂头像苇子, 用麻布和炉灰铺在他以下吗? 你这可称为禁食,为耶和华所悦纳的日子吗?

58:6 Is this not the fast I choose: to release the bonds of injustice, to untie the ropes of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and tear every yoke to pieces?
我所拣选的禁食不是要松开凶恶的绳, 解下轭上的索, 使被欺压的得自由, 折断一切的轭吗?

58:7 Is it not to break your bread for the hungry? You must bring home the poor, the homeless. When you see the naked, you must cover him, and you must not hide yourself from your relatives.
不是要把你的饼分给饥饿的人, 将飘流的穷人接到你家中, 见赤身的给他衣服遮体, 顾恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏吗?

58:8 Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall grow quickly. And your salvation shall go before you; the glory of Yahweh will be your rear guard.
这样, 你的光就必发现如早晨的光; 你所得的医治要速速发明. 你的公义必在你前面行; 耶和华的荣光必作你的后盾.

58:9 Then you shall call, and Yahweh himself will answer. You shall cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am!’ If you remove from among you the yoke, the finger-pointing and evil speech,
那时你求告, 耶和华必应允; 你呼求, 他必说: 我在这里. 你若从你中间除掉重轭和指摘人的指头, 并发恶言的事,

58:10 if you offer your soul to the hungry, and you satisfy the appetite of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like noon.
你心若向饥饿的人发怜悯, 使困苦的人得满足, 你的光就必在黑暗中发现; 你的幽暗必变如正午.

58:11 And Yahweh will lead you continually, and satisfy your soul in a barren land, and he will strengthen your bones, and you shall be like a well-watered garden, and like a spring of water whose water does not fail.
耶和华也必时常引导你, 在干旱之地使你心满意足, 骨头强壮. 你必像浇灌的园子, 又像水流不绝的泉源.

58:12 And they shall rebuild ancient ruins from you; you shall erect the foundations of many generations, and you shall be called the bricklayer of the breach, the restorer of paths to live in.
那些出于你的人必修造久已荒废之处; 你要建立拆毁累代的根基. 你必称为补破口的, 和重修路径与人居住的.

58:13 If you hold your foot back from the Sabbath, from doing your affairs on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a pleasure, the holy day of Yahweh honorable, if you honor him more than doing your ways, than finding your affairs and speaking a word,
你若在安息日掉转(或译: 谨慎)你的脚步, 在我圣日不以操作为喜乐, 称安息日为可喜乐的, 称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的; 而且尊敬这日, 不办自己的私事, 不随自己的私意, 不说自己的私话,

58:14 then you shall take your pleasure in Yahweh, and I will make you ride upon the heights of the earth, and I will feed you the heritage of Jacob your ancestor, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
你就以耶和华为乐. 耶和华要使你乘驾地的高处, 又以你祖雅各的产业养育你. 这是耶和华亲口说的.

Isaiah - Chapter 59

59:1 Look! The hand of Yahweh is not too short to save, and his ear is not too dull to hear.
耶和华的膀臂并非缩短, 不能拯救, 耳朵并非发沉, 不能听见,

59:2 Rather, your iniquities have been barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, from hearing.
但你们的罪孽使你们与神隔绝; 你们的罪恶使他掩面不听你们.

59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue speaks wickedness.
因你们的手被血沾染, 你们的指头被罪孽沾污, 你们的嘴唇说谎言, 你们的舌头出恶语.

59:4 There is nobody who pleads with justice, and there is nobody who judges with honesty. They rely on nothing and speak vanity. They conceive trouble and beget iniquity;
无一人按公义告状, 无一人凭诚实辩白; 都倚靠虚妄, 说谎言. 所怀的是毒害; 所生的是罪孽.

59:5 they hatch viper eggs, and they weave a spider web. One who eats their eggs dies, and that which is pressed is hatched as a serpent.
他们菢毒蛇蛋, 结蜘蛛网; 人吃这蛋必死. 这蛋被踏, 必出蝮蛇.

59:6 Their webs cannot become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and deeds of violence are in their hands.
所结的网不能成为衣服; 所做的也不能遮盖自己. 他们的行为都是罪孽; 手所做的都是强暴.

59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their highways.
他们的脚奔跑行恶; 他们急速流无辜人的血; 意念都是罪孽, 所经过的路都荒凉毁灭.

59:8 They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their firm paths. They have made their paths crooked for themselves; everyone who walks in it knows no peace.
平安的路, 他们不知道; 所行的事没有公平. 他们为自己修弯曲的路; 凡行此路的都不知道平安.

59:9 Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We wait for light, but look! there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
因此, 公平离我们远, 公义追不上我们. 我们指望光亮, 却是黑暗, 指望光明, 却行幽暗.

59:10 We grope like the blind along a wall, and we grope as without eyes. We stumble at noon as in the twilight; among the strong we are like the dead.
我们摸索墙壁, 好像瞎子; 我们摸索, 如同无目之人. 我们晌午绊脚, 如在黄昏一样; 我们在肥壮人中, 像死人一般.

59:11 We all groan like bears, and we coo mutteringly like doves. We wait for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us.
我们咆哮如熊, 哀鸣如鸽; 指望公平, 却是没有; 指望救恩, 却远离我们.

59:12 For our transgressions are numerous before you, and our sins testify against us. Indeed, our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities:
我们的过犯在你面前增多, 罪恶作见证告我们; 过犯与我们同在. 至于我们的罪孽, 我们都知道:

59:13 transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following our God; speaking oppression and falsehood, conceiving and uttering words of deception from the heart.
就是悖逆,不认识耶和华, 转去不跟从我们的神, 说欺压和叛逆的话, 心怀谎言, 随即说出.

59:14 And justice is pushed back, and righteousness stands afar; for truth stumbles in the public square, and straightforwardness is unable to enter,
并且公平转而退后, 公义站在远处; 诚实在街上仆倒, 正直也不得进入.

59:15 and truth is missing, and he who turns aside from evil is plundered. And Yahweh saw, and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice
诚实少见; 离恶的人反成掠物. 那时, 耶和华看见没有公平, 甚不喜悦.

59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and he was appalled that there was no one who intercedes, so his arm came to assist him, and his righteousness was what sustained him.
他见无人拯救, 无人代求, 甚为诧异, 就用自己的膀臂施行拯救, 以公义扶持自己.

59:17 And he put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head, and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and he wrapped himself in zeal as in a robe.
他以公义为铠甲(或译: 护心镜), 以拯救为头盔, 以报仇为衣服, 以热心为外袍.

59:18 According to deeds, so he will repay; wrath to his enemies, requital to those who are his enemies. He will repay requital to the coastlands.
他必按人的行为施报, 恼怒他的敌人, 报复他的仇敌, 向众海岛施行报应.

59:19 So they shall fear the name of Yahweh from the west, and his glory from the sunrise, for he will come like a narrow stream; the wind of Yahweh drives it on.
如此, 人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名, 从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀; 因为仇敌好像急流的河水冲来, 是耶和华之气所驱逐的.

59:20 “And a redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn away from transgression,” declares Yahweh.
必有一位救赎主来到锡安─雅各族中转离过犯的人那里. 这是耶和华说的.

59:21 “And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says Yahweh: my spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have placed in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of your children’s children,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”
耶和华说: “至于我与他们所立的约乃是这样: 我加给你的灵, 传给你的话, 必不离你的口, 也不离你后裔与你后裔之后裔的口, 从今直到永远; 这是耶和华说的. ”

那时, 你看见就有光荣; 你心又跳动又宽畅; 因为大海丰盛的货物必转来归你; 列国的财宝也必来归你.

60:6 A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young male camels of Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and they shall proclaim the praise of Yahweh.
成群的骆驼, 并米甸和以法的独峰驼必遮满你; 示巴的众人都必来到; 要奉上黄金乳香, 又要传说耶和华的赞美.

60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth shall serve you. They shall present a sacrifice for favor on my altar, and I will glorify my honorable house.
基达的羊群都必聚集到你这里, 尼拜约的公羊要供你使用, 在我坛上必蒙悦纳; 我必荣耀我荣耀的殿.

60:8 Who are these? They fly like a cloud, and like doves to their coops.
那些飞来如云,又如鸽子向窗户飞回的是谁呢?

60:9 Because the coastlands wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish are first to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the holy one of Israel, because he has glorified you.
众海岛必等候我, 首先是他施的船只, 将你的众子连他们的金银从远方一同带来, 都为耶和华─你神的名, 又为以色列的圣者, 因为他已经荣耀了你.

60:10 And foreigners shall build your walls, and their kings shall serve you, for in my anger I struck you, but in my favor I have taken pity on you.
外邦人必建筑你的城墙; 他们的王必服事你. 我曾发怒击打你, 现今却施恩怜恤你.

60:11 And your gates shall continually be open, day and night they shall not be shut, to bring you the wealth of nations, and their kings shall be led.
你的城门必时常开放, 昼夜不关; 使人把列国的财物带来归你, 并将他们的君王牵引而来.

60:12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you shall perish, and the nations shall be utterly devastated.
哪一邦哪一国不事奉你, 就必灭亡, 也必全然荒废.

60:13 The glory of Lebanon shall come to you; the cypress, the plane, and the pine together, to glorify the place of my sanctuary, and I will do honor to the place of my feet.
黎巴嫩的荣耀, 就是松树,杉树,黄杨树, 都必一同归你, 为要修饰我圣所之地; 我也要使我脚踏之处得荣耀.

60:14 And the children of those who oppressed you shall come to you bending low, and all those who treated you disrespectfully shall bow down at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you the city of Yahweh, Zion of the holy one of Israel.
素来苦待你的, 他的子孙都必屈身来就你; 藐视你的, 都要在你脚下跪拜. 他们要称你为“耶和华的城”, 为“以色列圣者的锡安”.

60:15 Instead of you being forsaken and hated with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting object of pride, a joy of coming generations.
你虽然被撇弃被厌恶, 甚至无人经过, 我却使你变为永远的荣华, 成为累代的喜乐.

60:16 And you shall suck the milk of nations, and suck the breast of kings, and you shall know that I am Yahweh your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
你也必吃万国的奶, 又吃君王的奶. 你便知道我─耶和华是你的救主, 是你的救赎主, 雅各的大能者.

60:17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, and instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. And I will appoint peace as your overseer, and righteousness as your ruling body.
我要拿金子代替铜, 拿银子代替铁, 拿铜代替木头, 拿铁代替石头; 并要以和平为你的官长, 以公义为你的监督.

Isaiah - Chapter 61

61:1 The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me, he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives and liberation to those who are bound,
主耶和华的灵在我身上; 因为耶和华用膏膏我, 叫我传好信息给谦卑的人(或译: 传福音给贫穷的人), 差遣我医好伤心的人, 报告被掳的得释放, 被囚的出监牢;

61:2 to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor, and our God’s day of vengeance, to comfort all those in mourning,
报告耶和华的恩年, 和我们神报仇的日子; 安慰一切悲哀的人,

61:3 to give for those in mourning in Zion, to give them a head wrap instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit. And they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.
赐华冠与锡安悲哀的人, 代替灰尘; 喜乐油代替悲哀; 赞美衣代替忧伤之灵; 使他们称为“公义树”, 是耶和华所栽的, 叫他得荣耀.

他们的后裔必在列国中被人认识; 他们的子孙在众民中也是如此. 凡看见他们的必认他们是耶和华赐福的后裔.

61:10 I will rejoice greatly in Yahweh; my being shall shout in exultation in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns himself with a head wrap like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewelry.
我因耶和华大大欢喜; 我的心靠神快乐. 因他以拯救为衣给我穿上, 以公义为袍给我披上, 好像新郎戴上华冠, 又像新妇佩戴妆饰.

61:11 For as the earth produces its sprout, and as a garden makes its plants sprout, so the Lord Yahweh will make righteousness sprout, and praise before all the nations.
田地怎样使百谷发芽, 园子怎样使所种的发生, 主耶和华必照样使公义和赞美在万民中发出.

你在耶和华的手中要作为华冠, 在你神的掌上必作为冕旒.

62:4 It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,” and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!” but you will be called “My Delight Is In Her,” and your land, “Married,” for Yahweh delights in you, and your land shall be married.
你必不再称为“撇弃的”; 你的地也不再称为“荒凉的”. 你却要称为“我所喜悦的”; 你的地也必称为“有夫之妇”. 因为耶和华喜悦你, 你的地也必归他.

62:5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you, and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
少年人怎样娶处女, 你的众民(民: 原文是子)也要照样娶你; 新郎怎样喜悦新妇, 你的神也要照样喜悦你.

62:6 I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem; all day and all night they shall never be silent. You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
耶路撒冷啊, 我在你城上设立守望的, 他们昼夜必不静默. 呼吁耶和华的, 你们不要歇息,

惟有那收割的要吃, 并赞美耶和华; 那聚敛的要在我圣所的院内喝.

62:10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Make the way clear for the people! Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones! Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
你们当从门经过经过, 预备百姓的路; 修筑修筑大道, 捡去石头, 为万民竖立大旗,

62:11 Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming! Look, his reward is with him, and his reward before him.
看哪, 耶和华曾宣告到地极, 对锡安的居民(原文是女子)说: 你的拯救者来到. 他的赏赐在他那里; 他的报应在他面前.

人必称他们为“圣民”, 为“耶和华的赎民”; 你也必称为“被眷顾,不撇弃的城”.

Isaiah - Chapter 63

63:1 Who is this, coming from Edom, from Bozrah in bright red garments? Who is this honored in his garment, lying down in his great strength? “It is I, speaking in justice, mighty to save!”
这从以东的波斯拉来, 穿红衣服, 装扮华美, 能力广大, 大步行走的是谁呢? 就是我, 是凭公义说话, 以大能施行拯救.

63:2 Why are your garments red, and your garments like he who treads in the winepress?
你的装扮为何有红色? 你的衣服为何像踹酒醡的呢?

63:3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and there was no man from the peoples with me. And I trod them in my anger, and I trampled them in my wrath, and spattered their juice on my garments, and stained all my clothing,
我独自踹酒醡; 众民中无一人与我同在. 我发怒将他们踹下, 发烈怒将他们践踏. 他们的血溅在我衣服上, 并且污染了我一切的衣裳.

63:4 for the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my blood-vengeance has come!
因为, 报仇之日在我心中; 救赎我民之年已经来到.

63:5 And I looked, but there was no helper, and I was appalled, but there was no one who sustains, so my arm came to assist me, and my wrath was what sustained me.
我仰望, 见无人帮助; 我诧异, 没有人扶持. 所以, 我自己的膀臂为我施行拯救; 我的烈怒将我扶持.

63:6 And I trampled peoples in my anger, and I made them drunk in my wrath, and I brought their juice down to the earth.”
我发怒, 踹下众民; 发烈怒, 使他们沉醉, 又将他们的血倒在地上.

我要照耶和华一切所赐给我们的, 提起他的慈爱和美德, 并他向以色列家所施的大恩; 这恩是照他的怜恤和丰盛的慈爱赐给他们的.

63:8 And he said, “Surely my people are children; they will not break faith.” And he became a Savior to them.
他说: 他们诚然是我的百姓, 不行虚假的子民; 这样, 他就作了他们的救主.

63:9 In all their distress, there was no distress, and the messenger of his presence saved them, in his love and compassion he himself redeemed them, and he lifted them up, and he supported them all the days of old.
他们在一切苦难中, 他也同受苦难; 并且他面前的使者拯救他们; 他以慈爱和怜悯救赎他们; 在古时的日子常保抱他们, 怀搋他们.

63:10 But they were the ones who rebelled, and they grieved his Holy Spirit, so he became an enemy to them; he himself fought against them.
他们竟悖逆, 使主的圣灵担忧. 他就转作他们的仇敌, 亲自攻击他们.

63:11 Then his people remembered the days of old, of Moses. Where is the one who led up them from the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who puts his Holy Spirit inside him,
那时, 他们(原文是他)想起古时的日子─摩西和他百姓, 说: 将百姓和牧养他全群的人从海里领上来的在哪里呢? 将他的圣灵降在他们中间的在哪里呢?

63:12 who made his magnificent arm move at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make an everlasting name for himself,
使他荣耀的膀臂在摩西的右手边行动, 在他们前面将水分开, 要建立自己永远的名,

63:13 who led them through the depths? They did not stumble like a horse in the desert;
带领他们经过深处, 如马行走旷野, 使他们不致绊跌的在哪里呢?

63:14 like cattle in the valley that goes down, the Spirit of Yahweh gave him rest, so you lead your people to make a magnificent name for yourself.
耶和华的灵使他们得安息, 仿佛牲畜下到山谷; 照样, 你也引导你的百姓, 要建立自己荣耀的名.

63:15 Look from heaven, and see from the lofty residence of your holiness and glory. Where are your zeal and strength? Your compassion and mercy to me hold themselves back.
求你从天上垂顾, 从你圣洁荣耀的居所观看. 你的热心和你大能的作为在哪里呢? 你爱慕的心肠和怜悯向我们止住了.

63:16 For you are our father, although Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh are our father, Our Redeemer from of old is your name.
亚伯拉罕虽然不认识我们, 以色列也不承认我们, 你却是我们的父. 耶和华啊, 你是我们的父; 从万古以来, 你名称为“我们的救赎主”.

63:17 Why do you make us wander, Yahweh? You harden our heart from your ways so that we do not fear you. Turn back for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
耶和华啊, 你为何使我们走差离开你的道, 使我们心里刚硬,不敬畏你呢? 求你为你仆人, 为你产业支派的缘故, 转回来.

63:18 Your holy people took possession for a little while; our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.
你的圣民不过暂时得这产业; 我们的敌人已经践踏你的圣所.

63:19 We have been since antiquity; you did not rule them; they were not called by your name.
我们好像你未曾治理的人, 又像未曾得称你名下的人.

Isaiah - Chapter 64

64:1 Would that you would tear the heavens and come down; the mountains would quake before you,
愿你裂天而降; 愿山在你面前震动─

64:2 as fire kindles brushwood, the fire causes water to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations might tremble from your presence.
好像火烧干柴, 又像火将水烧开, 使你敌人知道你的名, 使列国在你面前发颤!

64:3 When you did terrible deeds which we did not expect, you came down; the mountains quaked because of your presence.
你曾行我们不能逆料可畏的事. 那时你降临, 山岭在你面前震动.

64:4 And since ancient times they have not heard, have not listened, no eye has seen a God except you; he acts for the one who waits for him.
从古以来, 人未曾听见,未曾耳闻,未曾眼见在你以外有甚么神为等候他的人行事.

64:5 You meet with the one who rejoices, one who does righteousness. In your ways they remember you. Look! You were angry and we sinned against them in ancient times and we were saved.
你迎接那欢喜行义,记念你道的人; 你曾发怒, 我们仍犯罪; 这景况已久, 我们还能得救吗?

64:6 And we all have become like the unclean, and all our deeds of justice like a menstrual cloth, And we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities take us away like the wind.
我们都像不洁净的人; 所有的义都像污秽的衣服. 我们都像叶子渐渐枯干; 我们的罪孽好像风把我们吹去.

64:7 And there is no one who calls on your name, who pulls himself up to keep hold of you, for you have hidden your face from us, and melted us into the hand of our iniquity.
并且无人求告你的名; 无人奋力抓住你. 原来你掩面不顾我们, 使我们因罪孽消化.

64:8 Yet now Yahweh, you are our father; we are the clay and you are our potter, and we all are the work of your hand.
耶和华啊, 现在你仍是我们的父! 我们是泥, 你是窑匠; 我们都是你手的工作.

64:9 You must not be exceedingly angry, Yahweh, and you must not remember iniquity forever! Look! Behold, now! We all are your people!
耶和华啊, 求你不要大发震怒, 也不要永远记念罪孽. 求你垂顾我们, 我们都是你的百姓.

64:10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness; Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
你的圣邑变为旷野. 锡安变为旷野; 耶路撒冷成为荒场.

64:11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our ancestors praised you has been burned by fire, and all our precious objects have become ruins.
我们圣洁华美的殿─就是我们列祖赞美你的所在被火焚烧; 我们所羡慕的美地尽都荒废.

64:12 Will you control yourself because of these, Yahweh? Will you be silent? And will you oppress us exceedingly?
耶和华啊, 有这些事, 你还忍得住吗? 你仍静默使我们深受苦难吗?

Isaiah - Chapter 65

65:1 “I let myself be sought by those who did not ask; I let myself be found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am; here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name;
素来没有访问我的, 现在求问我; 没有寻找我的, 我叫他们遇见; 没有称为我名下的, 我对他们说: 我在这里! 我在这里!

65:2 I spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people, those who walk after their thoughts in the way that is not good,
我整天伸手招呼那悖逆的百姓; 他们随自己的意念行不善之道.

65:3 the people who provoke me to anger continually to my face, slaughtering for sacrifices in the garden, and making smoke offerings on bricks,
这百姓时常当面惹我发怒; 在园中献祭, 在坛(原文是砖)上烧香;

65:4 who sit in graves and spend the night in secret places, who eat the flesh of swine with a fragment of impurity in their vessels,
在坟墓间坐着, 在隐密处住宿, 吃猪肉; 他们器皿中有可憎之物做的汤;

65:5 who say, “Keep to yourself! You must not come near me, for I am too holy for you!” These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire burning all day.
且对人说: 你站开吧! 不要挨近我, 因为我比你圣洁. 主说: 这些人是我鼻中的烟, 是整天烧着的火.

65:6 Look! It is written before me: I will not be silent, but I will repay; and I will repay in the fold of their garment
看哪, 这都写在我面前. 我必不静默, 必施行报应, 必将你们的罪孽和你们列祖的罪孽, 就是在山上烧香, 在冈上亵渎我的罪孽, 一同报应在他们后人怀中, 我先要把他们所行的量给他们; 这是耶和华说的.

65:7 your iniquities and the iniquities of your ancestors together, says Yahweh, because they made smoke offerings on the mountains and they taunted me on the hills, I will measure their punishment from the beginning into the fold of their garment.”
a

65:8 Thus says Yahweh: “Just as the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say ‘You must not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,’ so I will do for the sake of my servants by not destroying everyone.
耶和华如此说: 葡萄中寻得新酒, 人就说: 不要毁坏, 因为福在其中. 我因我仆人的缘故也必照样而行, 不将他们全然毁灭.

65:9 And I will bring descendant s out from Jacob, and a people from Judah to take possession of my mountain, and my chosen ones shall inherit it, and my servants shall settle there.
我必从雅各中领出后裔, 从犹大中领出承受我众山的. 我的选民必承受; 我的仆人要在那里居住.

65:10 And Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting place for herds for my people who have sought me.
沙仑平原必成为羊群的圈; 亚割谷必成为牛群躺卧之处, 都为寻求我的民所得.

65:11 But you who forsake Yahweh, forgetting my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune, and who pour out a jug of mixed wine for Destiny,
但你们这些离弃耶和华,忘记我的圣山,给时运摆筵席(原文是桌子),给天命盛满调和酒的,

65:12 and I will remit you to the sword, and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter, because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not listen, but you did the evil in my eyes, and you chose that in which I do not delight.”
我要命定你们归在刀下, 都必屈身被杀; 因为我呼唤, 你们没有答应; 我说话, 你们没有听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的.

65:13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! My servants shall eat but you, you shall be hungry. Look! My servants shall drink but you, you shall be thirsty. Look! My servants shall rejoice but you, you shall be ashamed.
所以, 主耶和华如此说: 我的仆人必得吃, 你们却饥饿; 我的仆人必得喝, 你们却干渴; 我的仆人必欢喜, 你们却蒙羞.

65:14 Look! My servants shall shout for joy, but you, you shall cry out for pain and howl for sadness.
我的仆人因心中高兴欢呼, 你们却因心中忧愁哀哭, 又因心里忧伤哀号.

65:15 And you shall leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse, and the Lord Yahweh will kill you, and he will give his servants another name.
你们必留下自己的名, 为我选民指著赌咒. 主耶和华必杀你们, 另起别名称呼他的仆人.

65:16 Whoever blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of trustworthiness, and the one who swears an oath in the land shall swear by the God of trustworthiness, because the former troubles are forgotten, and they are hidden from my eyes.
这样, 在地上为自己求福的, 必凭真实的神求福; 在地上起誓的, 必指真实的神起誓. 因为, 从前的患难已经忘记, 也从我眼前隐藏了.

65:17 For look! I am about to create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered, and they shall not come to mind.
看哪! 我造新天新地; 从前的事不再被记念, 也不再追想.

65:18 But rejoice and shout in exultation forever and ever over what I am about to create! For look! I am about to create Jerusalem as a source of rejoicing, and her people as a source of joy.
你们当因我所造的永远欢喜快乐; 因我造耶路撒冷为人所喜, 造其中的居民为人所乐.

65:19 And I will shout in exultation over Jerusalem, and I will rejoice over my people, and the sound of weeping shall no longer be heard in it, or the sound of a cry for help.
我必因耶路撒冷欢喜, 因我的百姓快乐; 其中必不再听见哭泣的声音和哀号的声音.

65:20 There will no longer be a nursing infant who lives only a few days, or an old man who does not fill his days, for the boy will die a hundred years old, and the one who fails to reach a hundred years will be considered accursed.
其中必没有数日夭亡的婴孩, 也没有寿数不满的老者; 因为百岁死的仍算孩童, 有百岁死的罪人算被咒诅.

65:21 And they shall build houses and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
他们要建造房屋, 自己居住; 栽种葡萄园, 吃其中的果子.

65:22 They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat. For the days of my people shall be like the days of a tree, and my chosen ones shall enjoy the work of their hands.
他们建造的, 别人不得住; 他们栽种的, 别人不得吃; 因为我民的日子必像树木的日子; 我选民亲手劳碌得来的必长久享用.

65:23 They shall not labor for nothing, and they shall not give birth to horror, for they shall be offspring blessed by Yahweh, and their descendants with them.
他们必不徒然劳碌, 所生产的, 也不遭灾害, 因为都是蒙耶和华赐福的后裔; 他们的子孙也是如此.

65:24 And this will happen: before they call, I myself will answer; while still they are speaking, I myself will hear.
他们尚未求告, 我就应允; 正说话的时候, 我就垂听.

65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed like one, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, but dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall do no evil, and they shall not destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
豺狼必与羊羔同食; 狮子必吃草与牛一样; 尘土必作蛇的食物. 在我圣山的遍处, 这一切都不伤人, 不害物. 这是耶和华说的.

Isaiah - Chapter 66

66:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is the footstool for my feet. Where is this house that you would build for me? And where is this resting place for me?
耶和华如此说: 天是我的座位; 地是我的脚凳. 你们要为我造何等的殿宇? 哪里是我安息的地方呢?

66:2 And my hand has made all these things, and all these came to be,” declares Yahweh, “but I look to this one: to the humble and the contrite of spirit and the one frightened at my word.
耶和华说: 这一切都是我手所造的, 所以就都有了. 但我所看顾的, 就是虚心(原文是贫穷)痛悔,因我话而战兢的人.

66:3 The one who slaughters a bull strikes a man; the one who slaughters a lamb for sacrifice breaks the neck of a dog. The one who offers an offering, the blood of swine; the one who offers frankincense blesses an idol. Indeed, they themselves have chosen their ways, and their soul delights in their abhorrence.
假冒为善的宰牛, 好像杀人, 献羊羔, 好像打折狗项, 献供物, 好像献猪血, 烧乳香, 好像称颂偶像. 这等人拣选自己的道路, 心里喜悦行可憎恶的事.

66:4 Indeed, I myself I will choose their ill treatment, and I will bring them objects of their dread, because I called, and no one answered; I spoke and they did not listen, but they did the evil in my eyes, and they chose that in which I do not delight.”
我也必拣选迷惑他们的事, 使他们所惧怕的临到他们; 因为我呼唤, 无人答应; 我说话, 他们不听从; 反倒行我眼中看为恶的, 拣选我所不喜悦的.

66:5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who are frightened at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for my name’s sake have said, “Let Yahweh be honored so that we may see your joy!” But they themselves shall be ashamed.
你们因耶和华言语战兢的人当听他的话: 你们的弟兄─就是恨恶你们, 因我名赶出你们的, 曾说: 愿耶和华得荣耀, 使我们得见你们的喜乐; 但蒙羞的究竟是他们!

66:6 A voice, an uproar from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of Yahweh paying back his enemies!
有喧哗的声音出自城中! 有声音出于殿中! 是耶和华向仇敌施行报应的声音!

66:7 Before she was in labor she gave birth; before labor pains came to her, she gave birth to a son.
锡安未曾劬劳就生产, 未觉疼痛就生出男孩.

66:8 Who has heard anything like this? Who has seen anything like these things? Can a land be born in one day? Or can a nation be born in a moment? Yet when she was in labor, Zion indeed gave birth to her children.
国岂能一日而生? 民岂能一时而产? 因为锡安一劬劳便生下儿女, 这样的事谁曾听见? 谁曾看见呢?

66:9 Shall I myself I break open and not deliver?” says Yahweh, “or I who delivers lock up the womb?” says your God.
耶和华说: 我既使她临产, 岂不使她生产呢? 你的神说: 我既使她生产, 岂能使她闭胎不生呢?

66:10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem and shout in exultation with her, all those who love her! Rejoice with her in joy, all those who mourn over her,
你们爱慕耶路撒冷的都要与她一同欢喜快乐; 你们为她悲哀的都要与她一同乐上加乐;

66:11 so that you may suck and be satisfied from her consoling breast, so that you may drink deeply and refresh yourselves from her heavy breast.”
使你们在她安慰的怀中吃奶得饱, 使他们得她丰盛的荣耀, 犹如挤奶, 满心喜乐.

66:12 For thus says Yahweh: “Look! I am about to spread prosperity out to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you shall suck and be carried on the hip; and you shall you shall be played with on the knees.
耶和华如此说: 我要使平安延及她, 好像江河, 使列国的荣耀延及她, 如同涨溢的河. 你们要从中享受(原文是咂); 你们必蒙抱在肋旁, 摇弄在膝上.

66:13 As a man whose mother comforts him, so I myself will comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
母亲怎样安慰儿子, 我就照样安慰你们; 你们也必因(或译: 在)耶路撒冷得安慰.

66:14 And you shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass, and the hand of Yahweh shall make itself known to his servants, and he shall curse his enemies.
你们看见, 就心中快乐; 你们的骨头必得滋润像嫩草一样; 而且耶和华的手向他仆人所行的必被人知道; 他也要向仇敌发恼恨.

66:15 For look! Yahweh will come in fire, and his chariots like the storm wind, to give back his anger in wrath, and his rebuke in flames of fire.
看哪, 耶和华必在火中降临; 他的车辇像旋风, 以烈怒施行报应, 以火焰施行责罚;

66:16 For Yahweh enters into judgment on all flesh with fire and his sword, and those slain by Yahweh shall be many.
因为耶和华在一切有血气的人身上, 必以火与刀施行审判; 被耶和华所杀的必多.

66:17 Those who sanctify themselves and those who cleanse themselves to go into the gardens after the one in the middle, eating the flesh of swine and detestable things and rodents together shall come to an end!” declares Yahweh.
“那些分别为圣,洁净自己的, 进入园内跟在其中一个人的后头, 吃猪肉和仓鼠并可憎之物, 他们必一同灭绝; 这是耶和华说的.

66:18 “And I—their works and thoughts!—am about to come to gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come and see my glory.
“我知道他们的行为和他们的意念. 时候将到, 我必将万民万族(族: 原文是舌)聚来, 看见我的荣耀,

66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow; Tubal and Javan, the faraway coastlands that have not heard of my fame, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations,
我要显神蹟(或译: 记号)在他们中间. 逃脱的, 我要差到列国去, 就是到他施,普勒,拉弓的路德和土巴,雅完, 并素来没有听见我名声,没有看见我荣耀辽远的海岛; 他们必将我的荣耀传扬在列国中.

66:20 and bring all your countrymen from all the nations as an offering to Yahweh on horses and chariots and in litters and on mules and camels, to my holy mountain, Jerusalem,” says Yahweh, “just as the sons of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of Yahweh.
他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回, 使他们或骑马, 或坐车, 坐轿, 骑骡子, 骑独峰驼, 到我的圣山耶路撒冷, 作为供物献给耶和华, 好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中; 这是耶和华说的.

66:21 And indeed, I will take some of them as priests and the Levites,” says Yahweh.
耶和华说: 我也必从他们中间取人为祭司, 为利未人. ”

66:22 “For just as the new heavens and earth that I am about to make shall stand before me,” declares Yahweh, “so shall your descendants and your name stand.
耶和华说: 我所要造的新天新地, 怎样在我面前长存; 你们的后裔和你们的名字也必照样长存.

66:23 And this shall happen: From new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath all flesh shall come to bow in worship before me,” says Yahweh.
每逢月朔,安息日, 凡有血气的必来在我面前下拜. 这是耶和华说的.

66:24 “And they shall go out and look at the corpses of the people who have rebelled against me, for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首; 因为他们的虫是不死的; 他们的火是不灭的; 凡有血气的都必憎恶他们.

Jeremiah (耶利米书)

Jeremiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, among the priests who were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
便雅悯地亚拿突城的祭司中, 希勒家的儿子耶利米的话记在下面.

1:2 to whom the word of Yahweh came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚在位十三年, 耶和华的话临到耶利米.

1:3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
从犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬在位的时候, 直到犹大王约西亚的儿子西底家在位的末年, 就是十一年五月间耶路撒冷人被掳的时候, 耶和华的话也常临到耶利米.

1:4 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶利米说, 耶和华的话临到我说:

1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you came out from the womb I consecrated you; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
我未将你造在腹中, 我已晓得你; 你未出母胎, 我已分别你为圣; 我已派你作列国的先知.

1:6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.”
我就说: 主耶和华啊, 我不知怎样说, 因为我是年幼的.

1:7 But Yahweh said to me, “You must not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for to whomever I send you, you will go, and whatever I command you, you will speak.
耶和华对我说: 你不要说我是年幼的, 因为我差遣你到谁那里去, 你都要去; 我吩咐你说甚么话, 你都要说.

1:8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
你不要惧怕他们, 因为我与你同在, 要拯救你. 这是耶和华说的.

1:9 Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and he touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
于是耶和华伸手按我的口, 对我说: 我已将当说的话传给你.

1:10 See, I appoint you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, and to destroy and to tear down, to build and to plant.”
看哪, 我今日立你在列邦列国之上, 为要施行拔出,拆毁,毁坏,倾覆, 又要建立,栽植.

1:11 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I am seeing a branch of an almond tree.”
耶和华的话又临到我说: “耶利米, 你看见甚么? ”我说: “我看见一根杏树枝. ”

1:12 Then Yahweh said to me, “You did well to see, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”
耶和华对我说: “你看得不错; 因为我留意保守我的话, 使得成就. ”

1:13 And the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I said, “I am seeing a boiling pot, and its face is from the face of the north.”
耶和华的话第二次临到我说: “你看见甚么? ”我说: “我看见一个烧开的锅, 从北而倾. ”

1:14 Then Yahweh said to me, “From the north disaster will be unleashed on all the inhabitants of the land.
耶和华对我说: “必有灾祸从北方发出, 临到这地的一切居民. ”

1:15 For, look, I am calling to all the clans of the kingdoms of the north,” declares Yahweh, “and they will come and set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its surrounding walls, and against all the cities of Judah.
耶和华说: “看哪, 我要召北方列国的众族; 他们要来, 各安座位在耶路撒冷的城门口, 周围攻击城墙, 又要攻击犹大的一切城邑.

1:16 And I will pass my judgments on them because of all their wickedness in that they have forsaken me, and they made sacrifices to other gods, and they bowed in worship to the works of their hands.
至于这民的一切恶, 就是离弃我,向别神烧香,跪拜自己手所造的, 我要发出我的判语, 攻击他们.

1:17 But you, you must gird your loins, and stand, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be afraid of them, or I will shatter you before them.
所以你当束腰, 起来将我所吩咐你的一切话告诉他们; 不要因他们惊惶, 免得我使你在他们面前惊惶.

1:18 Now look, I have made you today as a fortified city and as an iron pillar and a bronze wall against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
看哪, 我今日使你成为坚城,铁柱,铜墙, 与全地和犹大的君王,首领,祭司, 并地上的众民反对.

1:19 And they will fight against you but they will not prevail against you, for I am with you,” declares Yahweh, “to deliver you.”
他们要攻击你, 却不能胜你; 因为我与你同在, 要拯救你. 这是耶和华说的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 2

2:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

2:2 “Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I remember concerning you the loyal love of your childhood, the love of your betrothal-time, your going after me in the desert, in the land not sown.
“你去向耶路撒冷人的耳中喊叫说, 耶和华如此说: 你幼年的恩爱, 婚姻的爱情, 你怎样在旷野, 在未曾耕种之地跟随我, 我都记得.

2:3 Israel was holy to Yahweh, the first fruit of his produce. All those who ate it were held guilty; disaster came to them,” declares Yahweh.’ ”
那时以色列归耶和华为圣, 作为土产初熟的果子; 凡吞吃它的必算为有罪, 灾祸必临到他们. 这是耶和华说的.

2:4 Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the clans of the house of Israel.
雅各家,以色列家的各族啊, 你们当听耶和华的话.

2:5 Thus says Yahweh: “What injustice did your ancestors find in me that they were far from me, and they went after the vanity, and they became vain?
耶和华如此说: 你们的列祖见我有甚么不义, 竟远离我, 随从虚无的神, 自己成为虚妄的呢?

2:6 And they did not say, ‘Where is Yahweh, the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt, the one who led us in the desert, in a land of desert plains and gorges, in a land of dryness and deep darkness, in a land that no one passes through, and no human lives there?’
他们也不说: 那领我们从埃及地上来, 引导我们经过旷野, 沙漠有深坑之地, 和干旱死荫,无人经过,无人居住之地的耶和华在哪里呢?

2:7 And I brought you to the land of the orchard, to eat its fruit, and its good things. But you entered and defiled my land, and my inheritance you made a detestable thing.
我领你们进入肥美之地, 使你们得吃其中的果子和美物; 但你们进入的时候就玷污我的地, 使我的产业成为可憎的.

2:8 The priests did not say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’ and those who handle the law did not know me, and the shepherds have rebelled against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and they went after things which do not profit.
祭司都不说, 耶和华在哪里呢? 传讲律法的都不认识我. 官长违背我; 先知藉巴力说预言, 随从无益的神.

2:9 Therefore I again bring a lawsuit against you,” declares Yahweh, “and with your children I bring a lawsuit.
耶和华说: 我因此必与你们争辩, 也必与你们的子孙争辩.

2:10 For go over to the coasts of Cyprus and look, and send to Kedar and consider very closely, and see if there has been a thing like this:

这事临到你身上, 不是你自招的吗? 不是因耶和华─你神引你行路的时候, 你离弃他吗?

2:18 And now why do you go the way of Egypt to drink the waters of the Shihor? And why do you go the way of Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates?

2:21 Yet I planted you as a choice vine, all of it a seed of trustworthiness. How then have you altered before me into something that is degenerate, the foreign vine?
然而, 我栽你是上等的葡萄树, 全然是真种子; 你怎么向我变为外邦葡萄树的坏枝子呢?

这世代的人哪, 你们要看明耶和华的话. 我岂向以色列作旷野呢? 或作幽暗之地呢? 我的百姓为何说: 我们脱离约束, 再不归向你了?

你怎么修饰你的道路要求爱情呢? 就是恶劣的妇人你也叫她们行你的路.

2:34 Also on your skirts is found the blood of the life of the innocent, the poor. You did not find them in the act of breaking into a house. But in spite of all these things,
并且你的衣襟上有无辜穷人的血; 你杀他们并不是遇见他们挖窟窿, 乃是因这一切的事.

2:35 yet you say, ‘But I am innocent, surely his anger has turned away from me.’ Look, I am entering into judgment with you because of your saying, ‘I have not sinned.’
你还说: 我无辜; 耶和华的怒气必定向我消了. 看哪, 我必审问你; 因你自说: 我没有犯罪.

2:36 How you go about so much changing your way! Also by Egypt you will be put to shame, just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
你为何东跑西奔要更换你的路呢? 你必因埃及蒙羞, 像从前因亚述蒙羞一样.

2:37 Also from there you will come out with your hands on your head, for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you will not prosper through them.
你也必两手抱头从埃及出来; 因为耶和华已经弃绝你所倚靠的, 你必不因他们得顺利.

Jeremiah - Chapter 3

3:1 A saying: ‘Look, if a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and she becomes another man’s wife, will he return to her again?’ Will not that land be greatly defiled? And you have prostituted yourself with many lovers, would you now return to me?” declares Yahweh.
有话说: 人若休妻, 妻离他而去, 作了别人的妻, 前夫岂能再收回她来? 若收回她来, 那地岂不是大大玷污了吗? 但你和许多亲爱的行邪淫, 还可以归向我. 这是耶和华说的.

3:2 “Lift up your eyes at the barren heights, and see where you have not been ravished. Beside the roads you sat for them like an Arab in the desert, and you have defiled the land with your fornication and with your wickedness.
你向净光的高处举目观看, 你在何处没有淫行呢? 你坐在道旁等候, 好像阿拉伯人在旷野埋伏一样, 并且你的淫行邪恶玷污了全地.

3:3 Therefore rain showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come. Yet you have the forehead of a woman prostitute, you refuse to be ashamed.

耶和华岂永远怀怒, 存留到底吗? 看哪, 你又发恶言又行坏事, 随自己的私意而行(或译: 你虽这样说, 还是行恶放纵欲心).

3:6 Then Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah, the king, “Have you seen what apostate Israel has done? She has gone on every high hill and under every leafy tree and she has prostituted herself there.
约西亚王在位的时候, 耶和华又对我说: “背道的以色列所行的, 你看见没有? 她上各高山, 在各青翠树下行淫.

3:7 And I thought, ‘After her doing all these things to me she will return,’ but she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
她行这些事以后, 我说她必归向我, 她却不归向我. 她奸诈的妹妹犹大也看见了.

3:8 And I saw that for this very reason, that on account of apostate Israel committing adultery I divorced her and gave the letter of divorce to her. Yet her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid and she went and prostituted herself also.
背道的以色列行淫, 我为这缘故给她休书休她; 我看见她奸诈的妹妹犹大, 还不惧怕, 也去行淫.

3:9 And it was because of the frivolity of her fornication that she defiled the land and committed adultery with the stone and with the tree.
因以色列轻忽了她的淫乱, 和石头木头行淫, 地就被玷污了.

3:10 Yet even in all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,” declares Yahweh.
虽有这一切的事, 她奸诈的妹妹犹大还不一心归向我, 不过是假意归我. 这是耶和华说的. ”

耶和华对我说: “背道的以色列比奸诈的犹大还显为义.

3:13 Only acknowledge your guilt, that against Yahweh your God you have rebelled, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’ declares Yahweh.”
只要承认你的罪孽, 就是你违背耶和华─你的神, 在各青翠树下向别神东奔西跑, 没有听从我的话. 这是耶和华说的.

3:14 “Return, apostate children,” declares Yahweh. “For I am your master, and I will take you one from a city and two from a clan, and I will bring you to Zion.
耶和华说: 背道的儿女啊, 回来吧! 因为我作你们的丈夫, 并且我必将你们从一城取一人, 从一族取两人, 带到锡安.

3:15 Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart and they will feed you knowledge and insight.
我也必将合我心的牧者赐给你们. 他们必以知识和智慧牧养你们. ”

3:16 And it will be when you have multiplied and become fruitful in the land in those days,” declares Yahweh, “they will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of Yahweh.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again.
耶和华说: “你们在国中生养众多; 当那些日子, 人必不再提说耶和华的约柜, 不追想, 不记念, 不觉缺少, 也不再制造.

3:17 At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of Yahweh,’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and they will no longer go after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
那时, 人必称耶路撒冷为耶和华的宝座; 万国必到耶路撒冷, 在耶和华立名的地方聚集. 他们必不再随从自己顽梗的恶心行事.

3:18 In those days the house of Judah will walk along with the house of Israel and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave as an inheritance to your ancestors.
当那些日子, 犹大家要和以色列家同行, 从北方之地一同来到我赐给你们列祖为业之地. ”

3:19 Then I thought, ‘How I would set you among the children, and I would give you a land of desire, an inheritance of the glory of the hosts of nations.’ And I thought, ‘You would call me, “My father,” and you would not turn back from behind me.’
我说: 我怎样将你安置在儿女之中, 赐给你美地, 就是万国中肥美的产业. 我又说: 你们必称我为父, 也不再转去不跟从我.

3:20 However, as a wife departs treacherously from her lover, so you have dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh.
以色列家, 你们向我行诡诈, 真像妻子行诡诈离开她丈夫一样. 这是耶和华说的.

3:21 “A voice is heard on the barren heights, the weeping of the pleas for mercy of the children of Israel, because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Yahweh their God.
在净光的高处听见人声, 就是以色列人哭泣恳求之声, 乃因他们走弯曲之道, 忘记耶和华─他们的神.

3:22 Return, O apostate children, I will heal your backsliding. ‘Look, we come to you, for you are Yahweh our God.
你们这背道的儿女啊, 回来吧! 我要医治你们背道的病. 看哪, 我们来到你这里, 因你是耶和华─我们的神.

3:23 Surely, an illusion comes from the hills, the turmoil on the mountains. Surely, in Yahweh our God is the salvation of Israel.
仰望从小山或从大山的喧嚷中得帮助, 真是枉然的. 以色列得救, 诚然在乎耶和华─我们的神.

3:24 But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our ancestors from our youth, their flocks, and their cattle, their sons and their daughters.
从我们幼年以来, 那可耻的偶像将我们列祖所劳碌得来的羊群,牛群, 和他们的儿女都吞吃了.

3:25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our disgrace cover us. For against Yahweh our God we have sinned, we and our ancestors, from our youth and until this day. and we have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh our God.’
我们在羞耻中躺卧吧! 愿惭愧将我们遮盖; 因为从立国(原文是幼年)以来, 我们和我们的列祖常常得罪耶和华─我们的神, 没有听从耶和华─我们神的话.

Jeremiah - Chapter 4

4:1 If you return, O Israel,” declares Yahweh, “you return to me. And if you remove your abominations from my presence, and you do not wander,
耶和华说: 以色列啊, 你若回来归向我, 若从我眼前除掉你可憎的偶像, 你就不被迁移.

4:2 and you swear, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ in truth, in justice, and in righteousness, then nations will be blessed by him, and in him they will boast.”
你必凭诚实,公平,公义, 指著永生的耶和华起誓; 列国必因耶和华称自己为有福, 也必因他夸耀.

4:3 For thus says Yahweh to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up for yourselves prepared virgin soil, and you must not sow among thornbushes.
耶和华对犹大和耶路撒冷人如此说: 要开垦你们的荒地, 不要撒种在荆棘中.

4:4 Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and remove the foreskins of your hearts, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest my wrath goes forth like the fire and burns, and there is no one who extinguishes it, because of the evil of your deeds.”
犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪, 你们当自行割礼, 归耶和华, 将心里的污秽除掉; 恐怕我的忿怒因你们的恶行发作, 如火著起, 甚至无人能以熄灭!

4:5 Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say, “Blow a horn through the land, call with a loud voice and say, ‘Be gathered and let us go into the fortified cities.’

因此, 你们当腰束麻布, 大声哀号, 因为耶和华的烈怒没有向我们转消.

我说: “哀哉! 主耶和华啊, 你真是大大地欺哄这百姓和耶路撒冷, 说: ‘你们必得平安’. 其实刀剑害及性命了. ”

那时, 必有话对这百姓和耶路撒冷说: “有一阵热风从旷野净光的高处向我的众民(原文是民女)刮来, 不是为簸扬, 也不是为扬净.

你的行动, 你的作为, 招惹这事; 这是你罪恶的结果, 实在是苦, 是害及你心了!

4:19 My bowels, my bowels! I writhe! The walls of my heart! My heart is restless within me, I cannot keep silent, for I hear in my inner self the sound of a horn, the alarm of war.

4:21 How long must I see the banner, and hear the sound of a horn?
我看见大旗, 听见角声, 要到几时呢?

4:22 “For my people are foolish, they have not known me. They are foolish children, and they do not have insight. They are skillful at doing evil, and they do not know how to do good.”
耶和华说: 我的百姓愚顽, 不认识我; 他们是愚昧无知的儿女, 有智慧行恶, 没有知识行善.

4:23 I looked at the earth, and behold, it was wasteland and emptiness, and to the heavens, and they were without their light.
先知说: 我观看地, 不料, 地是空虚混沌; 我观看天, 天也无光.

4:24 I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, and all of the hills were jolted to and fro.
我观看大山, 不料, 尽都震动, 小山也都摇来摇去.

4:27 For thus says Yahweh, “All of the land will be a desolation, yet I will not make a complete desolation.
耶和华如此说: 全地必然荒凉, 我却不毁灭净尽.

4:28 Because of this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above will become dark. Because I have spoken, I have planned, and I have not relented, and I will not turn back from it.”
因此, 地要悲哀, 在上的天也必黑暗; 因为我言已出, 我意已定, 必不后悔, 也不转意不做.

4:29 From the sound of a horseman and an archer every town flees, they enter in the thickets and among the rocks they climb. Every town is forsaken, and there is no person who lives in them.
各城的人因马兵和弓箭手的响声就都逃跑, 进入密林, 爬上磐石; 各城被撇下, 无人住在其中.

4:30 And you, O devastated one, what do you do, that you put on crimson, that you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold, that you make your eyes look bigger with the eye make-up? In vain you beautify yourself. Your lovers reject you; they seek your life.
你凄凉的时候要怎样行呢? 你虽穿上朱红衣服, 佩戴黄金装饰, 用颜料修饰眼目, 这样标致是枉然的! 恋爱你的藐视你, 并且寻索你的性命.

4:31 For I heard a voice like an ill woman, anxiety like a woman who bears her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion. She is gasping for breath, she is spreading out her hands: “Woe is me, for I am becoming tired before killers.”
我听见有声音, 仿佛妇人产难的声音, 好像生头胎疼痛的声音, 是锡安女子(就是指民的意思)的声音; 她喘着气,挓挲手, 说: 我有祸了! 在杀人的跟前, 我的心发昏了.

Jeremiah - Chapter 5

5:1 “Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and look please, and take note, and search at its public squares, if you can find a person who does justice, who seeks honesty, so that I may forgive it.
你们当在耶路撒冷的街上跑来跑去, 在宽阔处寻找, 看看有一人行公义求诚实没有? 若有, 我就赦免这城.

5:2 And though they say, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ therefore they swear falsely.”
其中的人虽然指著永生的耶和华起誓, 所起的誓实在是假的.

5:3 O Yahweh, do not your eyes look for honesty? You have struck them, but they felt no pain, you have destroyed them, they refused to take discipline. They have hardened their faces more than rock, they have refused to turn back.
耶和华啊, 你的眼目不是看顾诚实吗? 你击打他们, 他们却不伤恸; 你毁灭他们, 他们仍不受惩治. 他们使脸刚硬过于磐石, 不肯回头.

5:4 Then I said, “They are just simple people, they are foolish, for they know not the way of Yahweh, the law of their God.
我说: 这些人实在是贫穷的, 是愚昧的, 因为不晓得耶和华的作为和他们神的法则.

5:5 Let me go to the great, and let me speak with them, for they know the way of Yahweh, the law of their God.” However, they together have broken the yoke, they have torn to pieces the bonds.
我要去见尊大的人, 对他们说话, 因为他们晓得耶和华的作为和他们神的法则. 哪知, 这些人齐心将轭折断, 挣开绳索.

5:6 Therefore a lion from the forest will kill them, A wolf from the desert plains will devastate them. A leopard is watching their cities, everyone who goes out from there will be torn, because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are numerous.
因此, 林中的狮子必害死他们; 晚上(或译: 野地)的豺狼必灭绝他们; 豹子要在城外窥伺他们. 凡出城的必被撕碎; 因为他们的罪过极多, 背道的事也加增了.

5:7 “How can I forgive you? Your children have forsaken me, and they have sworn by those who are not gods. But I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and flocked to the house of a prostitute.
我怎能赦免你呢? 你的儿女离弃我, 又指著那不是神的起誓. 我使他们饱足, 他们就行奸淫, 成群地聚集在娼妓家里.

5:8 They were well-fed lusty horses, they neighed each to the wife of his neighbor.
他们像喂饱的马到处乱跑, 各向他邻舍的妻发嘶声.

5:9 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares Yahweh, “and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
耶和华说: 我岂不因这些事讨罪呢? 岂不报复这样的国民呢?

5:10 Go up through her vineyards and destroy, but you must not make complete destruction. Remove her branches, for they are not to Yahweh.
你们要上她葡萄园的墙施行毁坏, 但不可毁坏净尽, 只可除掉她的枝子, 因为不属耶和华.

5:11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt utterly treacherously with me,” declares Yahweh.
原来以色列家和犹大家大行诡诈攻击我. 这是耶和华说的.

5:12 “They have denied Yahweh, and have said, ‘Not he, for evil will not come on us, we will see neither sword nor famine.
他们不认耶和华, 说: 这并不是他, 灾祸必不临到我们; 刀剑和饥荒, 我们也看不见.

5:13 And the prophets are like wind, and the word is not in them.’ Thus it will be done to them.”
先知的话必成为风; 道也不在他们里面. 这灾必临到他们身上.

5:14 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, “Because you have spoken this word, look, I am making my words in your mouth like a fire, and this people wood, and it will devour them.
所以耶和华─万军之神如此说: 因为百姓说这话, 我必使我的话在你口中为火, 使他们为柴; 这火便将他们烧灭.

5:15 Look, I am about to bring on you a nation from afar, O house of Israel,” declares Yahweh. “It is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation. A nation whose language you do not know, and you cannot understand what they speak.
耶和华说: 以色列家啊, 我必使一国的民从远方来攻击你, 是强盛的国, 是从古而有的国. 他们的言语你不晓得, 他们的话你不明白.

5:16 Their quiver is like an open tomb, all of them are warriors.
他们的箭袋是敞开的坟墓; 他们都是勇士.

5:17 And they will eat your harvest and your food, they will eat your sons and your daughters, they will eat your flock and your herd, they will eat your vine and your fig tree, they will smash with the sword your fortified cities, in which you trust.
他们必吃尽你的庄稼和你的粮食, 是你儿女该吃的; 必吃尽你的牛羊, 吃尽你的葡萄和无花果; 又必用刀毁坏你所倚靠的坚固城.

5:18 “But even in those days,” declares Yahweh, “I will not make you a complete destruction.
耶和华说: “就是到那时, 我也不将你们毁灭净尽.

5:19 And then, when you people say, ‘Why has Yahweh our God done all of these things to us?’ Then you will say to them, ‘As you have forsaken me and have served gods of a foreign land in your land, so will you serve strangers in a land that does not belong to you.’
百姓若说: ‘耶和华─我们的神为甚么向我们行这一切事呢? ’你就对他们说: ‘你们怎样离弃耶和华(原文是我), 在你们的地上事奉外邦神, 也必照样在不属你们的地上事奉外邦人. ’”

5:20 “Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying,
当传扬在雅各家, 报告在犹大说:

5:21 ‘Hear this please, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear.’
愚昧无知的百姓啊, 你们有眼不看, 有耳不听, 现在当听这话.

5:22 Do you not revere me?” declares Yahweh, “Do you not tremble before me? For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, as an everlasting limit, and it cannot pass over it, and they rise and fall loudly, but they cannot prevail, and its waves roar, but they cannot pass over it.
耶和华说: 你们怎么不惧怕我呢? 我以永远的定例, 用沙为海的界限, 水不得越过. 因此, 你们在我面前还不战兢吗? 波浪虽然翻腾, 却不能逾越; 虽然匉訇, 却不能过去.

5:23 But for this people is a stubborn and rebellious heart, they have turned aside and have gone away.
但这百姓有背叛忤逆的心; 他们叛我而去,

5:24 And they do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear please Yahweh our God, the one who gives the autumn rain and the spring rain in its season, the set times of the harvest he keeps for us.’
心内也不说: 我们应当敬畏耶和华─我们的神; 他按时赐雨, 就是秋雨春雨, 又为我们定收割的节令, 永存不废.

5:25 Your iniquities have disturbed these, and your sins have kept away the good from you.
你们的罪孽使这些事转离你们; 你们的罪恶使你们不能得福.

5:26 For wicked people are found among my people, they lie in wait like the hiding of fowlers, they set up a trap, they catch humans.
因为在我民中有恶人. 他们埋伏窥探, 好像捕鸟的人; 他们设立圈套陷害人.

5:27 Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of fraud. Therefore they have become great, and they have become rich.
笼内怎样满了雀鸟, 他们的房中也照样充满诡诈; 所以他们得成为大, 而且富足.

5:28 They have grown fat, they have grown sleek, also, their evil deeds have no limit. They do not judge with justice, the legal cause of the orphan, or allow it to succeed, and the legal case of the poor, they do not defend.
他们肥胖光润, 作恶过甚, 不为人伸冤! 就是不为孤儿伸冤, 不使他亨通, 也不为穷人辨屈.

5:29 Because of these things shall I not punish?” declares Yahweh, “and on a nation who is like this, shall I not take revenge?
耶和华说: 我岂不因这些事讨罪呢? 岂不报复这样的国民呢?

5:30 A horrific event and something horrible has happened in the land.
国中有可惊骇,可憎恶的事:

5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it so much. But what will you do when the end comes?
就是先知说假预言, 祭司藉他们把持权柄; 我的百姓也喜爱这些事, 到了结局你们怎样行呢?

Jeremiah - Chapter 6

6:1 Flee for safety, O children of Benjamin, from the midst of Jerusalem. And in Tekoa blow a horn, and on Beth-haccherem lift up a signal, for evil looks down from the north, and a great destruction.
便雅悯人哪, 你们要逃出耶路撒冷, 在提哥亚吹角, 在伯‧哈基琳立号旗; 因为有灾祸与大毁灭从北方张望.

6:2 The lovely and the delicate, the daughter of Jerusalem, I will destroy.
那秀美娇嫩的锡安女子(就是指民的意思), 我必剪除.

6:3 Shepherds and their flocks will come against her, they will pitch their tents against her all around, they will pasture, each his portion.
牧人必引他们的羊群到她那里, 在她周围支搭帐棚, 各在自己所占之地使羊吃草.

6:4 Sanctify war against her. Arise, and let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day turns, for the shadows of evening are lengthened.
你们要准备攻击她. 起来吧, 我们可以趁午时上去. 哀哉! 日已渐斜, 晚影拖长了.

6:5 Arise, and let us attack by night, and let us destroy her citadel fortresses.”
起来吧, 我们夜间上去, 毁坏她的宫殿.

6:6 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Cut down trees and heap up a siege ramp against Jerusalem. This is the city that must be punished, its oppression is in its midst.
因为万军之耶和华如此说: 你们要砍伐树木, 筑垒攻打耶路撒冷. 这就是那该罚的城, 其中尽是欺压.

6:7 As a water well keeps its water cool, so she keeps cool her wickedness. Violence and destruction are heard within her, sickness and wounds are continually before me.
井怎样涌出水来, 这城也照样涌出恶来; 在其间常听见有强暴毁灭的事, 病患损伤也常在我面前.

6:8 Be warned, O Jerusalem, lest I turn away from you in disgust, lest I make you a desolation, a land that is not inhabited.”
耶路撒冷啊, 你当受教, 免得我心与你生疏, 免得我使你荒凉, 成为无人居住之地.

6:9 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine, turn back your hand over the branches like a grape-gatherer.
万军之耶和华曾如此说: 敌人必掳尽以色列剩下的民, 如同摘净葡萄一样. 你要像摘葡萄的人摘了又摘, 回手放在筐子里.

6:10 To whom shall I speak and admonish, that they may hear? Look, their ears are closed, and they are not able to listen attentively. Look, the word of Yahweh is to them an object of scorn, they do not delight in it.
现在我可以向谁说话作见证, 使他们听呢? 他们的耳朵未受割礼, 不能听见. 看哪, 耶和华的话他们以为羞辱, 不以为喜悦.

6:11 But I am full with the wrath of Yahweh, I struggle to hold it in. Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assemblies of young men at the same time. For even husband with wife will get trapped, the old with him who is full of days.
因此我被耶和华的忿怒充满, 难以含忍. 我要倾在街中的孩童和聚会的少年人身上, 连夫带妻, 并年老的与日子满足的都必被擒拿.

6:12 And their houses will be turned over to others, their fields and their wives together. For I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land,” declares Yahweh.
他们的房屋,田地, 和妻子都必转归别人; 我要伸手攻击这地的居民. 这是耶和华说的.

6:13 “For from the smallest of them to the greatest of them, everyone makes profit for unlawful gain. And from the prophet to the priest, everyone practices deceit.
因为他们从最小的到至大的都一味地贪婪, 从先知到祭司都行事虚谎.

6:14 And they have treated the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.
他们轻轻忽忽地医治我百姓的损伤, 说: 平安了! 平安了! 其实没有平安.

6:15 Have they acted ashamed, for they have committed a detestable thing? Not at all, nor were they ashamed; they did not know to feel humiliated. Therefore they will fall among those who fall at the time I punish them, they will stumble,” says Yahweh.
他们行可憎的事知道惭愧吗? 不然, 他们毫不惭愧, 也不知羞耻. 因此, 他们必在仆倒的人中仆倒; 我向他们讨罪的时候, 他们必致跌倒. 这是耶和华说的.

6:16 Thus says Yahweh: “Stand at the roads and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the way of the good is, and walk in it, and find rest for your inner selves. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
耶和华如此说: 你们当站在路上察看, 访问古道, 哪是善道, 便行在其间; 这样, 你们心里必得安息. 他们却说: 我们不行在其间.

6:17 And I raised up watchmen over you: ‘Listen attentively to the sound of a horn.’ But they said, ‘We will not listen attentively.’
我设立守望的人照管你们, 说: 要听角声. 他们却说: 我们不听.

6:18 Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O community, what will happen to them.
列国啊, 因此你们当听! 会众啊, 要知道他们必遭遇的事.

6:19 Hear, O earth, look, I am about to bring disaster to this people, the fruit of their plans, because they have not listened attentively to my words, and my teaching, they have rejected it also.
地啊, 当听! 我必使灾祸临到这百姓, 就是他们意念所结的果子; 因为他们不听从我的言语, 至于我的训诲(或译: 律法), 他们也厌弃了.

6:20 What is this to me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, and the precious spice reed from a distant land. Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
从示巴出的乳香, 从远方出的菖蒲(或译: 甘蔗)奉来给我有何益呢? 你们的燔祭不蒙悦纳; 你们的平安祭, 我也不喜悦.

6:21 Therefore thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am about to put before this people stumbling blocks, and they will stumble against them, fathers and children together, neighbor and his friend will perish.”
所以耶和华如此说: 我要将绊脚石放在这百姓前面. 父亲和儿子要一同跌在其上; 邻舍与朋友也都灭亡.

6:22 Thus says Yahweh: “Look, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is woken up from the farthest part of the earth.
耶和华如此说: 看哪, 有一种民从北方而来, 并有一大国被激动, 从地极来到.

6:23 The bow and the short sword they grasp are cruel, and they show no mercy. Their sound roars like the sea, and on horses they ride, drawn up like a man for battle against you, O daughter of Zion.”
他们拿弓和枪, 性情残忍, 不施怜悯; 他们的声音像海浪匉訇. 锡安城(原文是女子)啊, 他们骑马都摆队伍, 如上战场的人要攻击你.

6:24 We have heard news of it, our hands grow slack, anxiety has grasped us, pain as a woman who gives birth.
我们听见他们的风声, 手就发软; 痛苦将我们抓住, 疼痛仿佛产难的妇人.

6:25 You must not go out into the field, and you must not walk on the road, for the enemy has a sword, terror is all around.
你们不要往田野去, 也不要行在路上, 因四围有仇敌的刀剑和惊吓.

6:26 O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth, and roll about in the ashes in mourning, a mourning ceremony as for an only child. Make for yourself wailing of bitterness, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
我民(原文是民女)哪, 应当腰束麻布, 滚在灰中. 你要悲伤, 如丧独生子痛痛哭号, 因为灭命的要忽然临到我们.

6:27 “I have made you an assayer among my people, a fortification, so that you may know and put to the test their ways.
我使你在我民中为高台(或译: 试验人的), 为保障, 使你知道试验他们的行动.

6:28 All of them are stubborn rebels, going about talking slander. They are bronze and iron, they are all behaving corruptly.
他们都是极悖逆的, 往来谗谤人. 他们是铜是铁, 都行坏事.

6:29 The bellows are burned up, lead is consumed by fire. In vain he keeps on refining, but the wicked are not torn apart.
风箱吹火, 铅被烧毁; 他们炼而又炼, 终是徒然; 因为恶劣的还未除掉.

6:30 They are called rejected silver, For Yahweh has rejected them.”
人必称他们为被弃的银渣, 因为耶和华已经弃掉他们.

Jeremiah - Chapter 7

7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

7:2 “Stand in the gate of the house of Yahweh and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, all of Judah, those who enter through these gates to bow in worship to Yahweh.
“你当站在耶和华殿的门口, 在那里宣传这话说: 你们进这些门敬拜耶和华的一切犹大人, 当听耶和华的话.

7:3 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Make your ways and your deeds good and let me dwell with you in this place.
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你们改正行动作为, 我就使你们在这地方仍然居住.

7:4 Do not trust in the deceitful words, saying, ‘The temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, they are the temple of Yahweh.’
你们不要倚靠虚谎的话, 说: ‘这些是耶和华的殿, 是耶和华的殿, 是耶和华的殿! ’

7:5 For if you truly make your ways and your deeds good, if you truly do justice between a man and his neighbor,
“你们若实在改正行动作为, 在人和邻舍中间诚然施行公平,

7:6 you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, you do not shed innocent blood in this place, and you do not go after other gods to your harm,
不欺压寄居的和孤儿寡妇, 在这地方不流无辜人的血, 也不随从别神陷害自己,

7:7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your ancestors forever and ever.
我就使你们在这地方仍然居住, 就是我古时所赐给你们列祖的地, 直到永远.

7:8 Look, you are relying for yourselves on deceitful words without benefiting.
“看哪, 你们倚靠虚谎无益的话.

7:9 Will you steal? Will you murder? And will you commit adultery? And will you swear falsely? And will you make a smoke offering to the Baal? And will you go after other gods whom you have not known?
你们偷盗, 杀害, 奸淫, 起假誓, 向巴力烧香, 并随从素不认识的别神,

7:10 And then you come and you stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and you say, ‘we are safe to go on doing all of these detestable things.’
且来到这称为我名下的殿, 在我面前敬拜; 又说: ‘我们可以自由了. ’你们这样的举动是要行那些可憎的事吗?

7:11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a cave of robbers in your eyes? Look, I, even I, have seen it,” declares Yahweh.
这称为我名下的殿在你们眼中岂可看为贼窝吗? 我都看见了. 这是耶和华说的.

7:12 “For go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell in the beginning, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
你们且往示罗去, 就是我先前立为我名的居所, 察看我因这百姓以色列的罪恶向那地所行的如何. ”

7:13 And now, because of your doing all these things,” declares Yahweh, “and I have spoken to you over and over again, and you have not listened, and I called you, and you have not answered,
耶和华说: “现在因你们行了这一切的事, 我也从早起来警戒你们, 你们却不听从; 呼唤你们, 你们却不答应.

7:14 therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, in which you are trusting, and to the place that I gave to you and to your ancestors what I did to Shiloh.
所以我要向这称为我名下,你们所倚靠的殿, 与我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地施行, 照我从前向示罗所行的一样.

7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight just as I cast out all of your blood relatives, all of the offspring of Ephraim.” ’
我必将你们从我眼前赶出, 正如赶出你们的众弟兄, 就是以法莲的一切后裔. ”

7:16 “And you, you must not pray for this people, and you must not lift up for them a cry of entreaty or a prayer, and you must not plead with me, for I will not hear you.
“所以, 你不要为这百姓祈祷; 不要为他们呼求祷告, 也不要向我为他们祈求, 因我不听允你.

7:17 Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的, 你没有看见吗?

7:18 The children are gathering wood, and the fathers are kindling the fire, and the women are kneading dough to make sacrificial cakes for the queen of heaven, and they pour out libations to other gods for the sake of provoking me to anger.
孩子捡柴, 父亲烧火, 妇女抟面做饼, 献给天后, 又向别神浇奠祭, 惹我发怒. ”

7:19 Are they provoking me to anger? ” declares Yahweh, “Is it not themselves they hurt, for the sake of the shame of their faces?”
耶和华说: “他们岂是惹我发怒呢? 不是自己惹祸, 以致脸上惭愧吗? ”

7:20 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Look, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on the humankind, and on the animal, and on the tree of the field, and on the fruit of the ground, and it will not be extinguished.”
所以主耶和华如此说: “看哪, 我必将我的怒气和忿怒倾在这地方的人和牲畜身上, 并田野的树木和地里的出产上, 必如火著起, 不能熄灭. ”

7:21 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: “你们将燔祭加在平安祭上, 吃肉吧!

7:22 For I did not speak with your ancestors, nor did I command them in the day of bringing them out from the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offering and sacrifice.
因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日, 燔祭平安祭的事我并没有提说, 也没有吩咐他们.

7:23 But I only commanded them this word, saying, ‘Obey my voice, and I will be to you God, and you will be to me people, and you must walk in all of the way that I command you, so that it goes well with you.’
我只吩咐他们这一件说: ‘你们当听从我的话, 我就作你们的神, 你们也作我的子民. 你们行我所吩咐的一切道, 就可以得福. ’

7:24 Yet they did not obey, and they did not incline their ear, but they walked in their own plans, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and they became worse instead of better.
他们却不听从, 不侧耳而听, 竟随从自己的计谋和顽梗的恶心, 向后不向前.

7:25 From the day that your ancestors came out from the land of Egypt until this day I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, day after day, sending again and again.
自从你们列祖出埃及地的那日, 直到今日, 我差遣我的仆人众先知到你们那里去, 每日从早起来差遣他们.

7:26 Yet they have not listened to me and they have not inclined their ear, but they have hardened their neck, they did more evil than their ancestors.
你们却不听从, 不侧耳而听, 竟硬著颈项行恶, 比你们列祖更甚.

7:27 So you shall speak to them all these words, but they will not listen to you, and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
“你要将这一切的话告诉他们, 他们却不听从; 呼唤他们, 他们却不答应.

7:28 “And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God, and they have not accepted discipline. The truth has perished, and it is cut off from their mouths.
你要对他们说: 这就是不听从耶和华─他们神的话,不受教训的国民; 从他们的口中, 诚实灭绝了. ”

7:29 Shear your hair and throw it away, and lift up a lament on the barren heights, for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.’
耶路撒冷啊, 要剪发抛弃, 在净光的高处举哀; 因为耶和华丢掉离弃了惹他忿怒的世代.

7:30 For the people of Judah have done evil in my eyes,” declares Yahweh, “They have set their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.
耶和华说: “犹大人行我眼中看为恶的事, 将可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中, 污秽这殿.

7:31 And they built the high place of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I have not commanded, and it did not come into my mind.
他们在欣嫩子谷建筑陀斐特的邱坛, 好在火中焚烧自己的儿女. 这并不是我所吩咐的, 也不是我心所起的意. ”

7:32 Therefore look, days are about to come,” declares Yahweh, “and it will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter, and they will bury in Topheth until there is no more place.
耶和华说: “因此, 日子将到, 这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷, 反倒称为杀戮谷. 因为要在陀斐特葬埋尸首, 甚至无处可葬;

7:33 And the dead bodies of this people will be as food for the birds of the heavens, and for the animals of the earth, without anyone to scare them away.
并且这百姓的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物, 并无人哄赶.

7:34 And I will cause to disappear from the towns of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the sound of jubilation, and the sound of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, for the land will become a site of ruins.
那时, 我必使犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上, 欢喜和快乐的声音, 新郎和新妇的声音, 都止息了, 因为地必成为荒场. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 8

8:1 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Judah from their graves.
耶和华说: “到那时, 人必将犹大王的骸骨和他首领的骸骨,祭司的骸骨,先知的骸骨, 并耶路撒冷居民的骸骨, 都从坟墓中取出来,

8:2 And they shall spread them out before the sun, and before the moon, and before all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and which they have gone after, and which they have inquired about, and to which they have bowed in worship. They shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried; they will be like dung on the surface of the ground.
抛散在日头,月亮, 和天上众星之下, 就是他们从前所喜爱,所事奉,所随从,所求问,所敬拜的. 这些骸骨不再收殓, 不再葬埋, 必在地面上成为粪土;

8:3 And death will be preferred to life by all the remaining of this evil clan in all the remaining places where I have driven them away,” declares Yahweh.
并且这恶族所剩下的民在我所赶他们到的各处, 宁可拣死不拣生. 这是万军之耶和华说的. ”

8:4 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus asks Yahweh: “Do men fall and not stand up? If one turns away does he not return?
你要对他们说, 耶和华如此说: 人跌倒, 不再起来吗? 人转去, 不再转来吗?

8:5 Why has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in enduring apostasy? They have kept hold of deceit, they have refused to return.
这耶路撒冷的民, 为何恒久背道呢? 他们守定诡诈, 不肯回头.

8:6 I have listened attentively, and I have listened. They do not speak honestly, there is no man who regrets his wickedness, saying, ‘What have I done?’ All of them are turning to their ways of running, like a horse plunging into battle.
我留心听, 听见他们说不正直的话. 无人悔改恶行, 说: 我做的是甚么呢? 他们各人转奔己路, 如马直闯战场.

8:7 Even the stork in heaven knows its appointed time, and the turtledove, and the swallow, and the song bird, they observe the time of their coming. But my people do not know the ordinance of Yahweh.
空中的鹳鸟知道来去的定期; 斑鸠燕子与白鹤也守候当来的时令; 我的百姓却不知道耶和华的法则.

8:8 How can you say, ‘We are wise and the law of Yahweh is with us’? Look, surely the lying stylus of the scribes has made it a lie.
你们怎么说: 我们有智慧, 耶和华的律法在我们这里? 看哪, 文士的假笔舞弄虚假.

8:9 The wise will be put to shame, they will be dismayed, and they will get taken. Look, they have rejected the word of Yahweh, and what is wisdom to them?
智慧人惭愧, 惊惶, 被擒拿; 他们弃掉耶和华的话, 心里还有甚么智慧呢?

8:10 Therefore I will give their wives to others, their fields to conquerors, because from the smallest to the greatest, all of them make profit for unlawful gain, from prophet to priest, all of them practice deceit.
所以我必将他们的妻子给别人, 将他们的田地给别人为业; 因为他们从最小的到至大的都一味地贪婪, 从先知到祭司都行事虚谎.

8:11 And they have treated the wound of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ but there is no peace.
他们轻轻忽忽地医治我百姓的损伤, 说: 平安了! 平安了! 其实没有平安.

8:12 Were they ashamed, for they had committed a detestable thing? What’s worse, they were not ashamed at all, and they did not know to feel humiliated. Therefore they will fall among those who fall; at the time of their punishment they will stumble,” says Yahweh.
他们行可憎的事知道惭愧吗? 不然, 他们毫不惭愧, 也不知羞耻. 因此他们必在仆倒的人中仆倒; 我向他们讨罪的时候, 他们必致跌倒. 这是耶和华说的.

8:13 “I will take away their harvest,” declares Yahweh. “There are no grapes on the vine, and there are no figs on the fig tree, and the leaves wither, and what I gave to them passed over them.” ’ ”
耶和华说: 我必使他们全然灭绝; 葡萄树上必没有葡萄, 无花果树上必没有果子, 叶子也必枯干. 我所赐给他们的, 必离开他们过去.

8:14 Why are we sitting? Gather, and let us go into the fortified cities, and let us perish there, for Yahweh our God has caused us to perish, and has provided drink for us, water of poison, because we have sinned against Yahweh.
我们为何静坐不动呢? 我们当聚集, 进入坚固城, 在那里静默不言; 因为耶和华─我们的神使我们静默不言, 又将苦胆水给我们喝, 都因我们得罪了耶和华.

8:15 We hope for peace, but there is no good, for a time of healing, but there is terror.
我们指望平安, 却得不著好处; 指望痊愈的时候, 不料, 受了惊惶.

8:16 “From Dan is heard the snorting of their horses, from the sound of the neighing of their stallions all the land quakes, for they come and devour the land, and that which fills the city, and those who live in it.
听见从但那里敌人的马喷鼻气, 他的壮马发嘶声, 全地就都震动; 因为他们来吞灭这地和其上所有的, 吞灭这城与其中的居民.

8:17 For look, I am letting loose among you snakes, adders for which there is no incantation, and they will bite you,” declares Yahweh.
看哪, 我必使毒蛇到你们中间, 是不服法术的, 必咬你们. 这是耶和华说的.

8:18 “My comfort is gone from me, sorrow is on me, my heart is sick.
我有忧愁, 愿能自慰; 我心在我里面发昏.

8:19 Look, the sound of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from a distant land, ‘Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king not in her?’ Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with idols of a foreign land?”
听啊, 是我百姓的哀声从极远之地而来, 说: 耶和华不在锡安吗? 锡安的王不在其中么? 耶和华说: 他们为甚么以雕刻的偶像和外邦虚无的神惹我发怒呢?

8:20 The harvest has passed, the summer has come to an end, and we have not received help.
麦秋已过, 夏令已完, 我们还未得救!

8:21 “Because of the wound of the daughter of my people I am broken down, I mourn, horror has seized me.
先知说: 因我百姓的损伤, 我也受了损伤. 我哀痛, 惊惶将我抓住.

8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why, then, has the healing of the daughter of my people not been restored?
在基列岂没有乳香呢? 在那里岂没有医生呢? 我百姓为何不得痊愈呢?

Jeremiah - Chapter 9

9:1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night, for the slain of the daughter of my people.
但愿我的头为水, 我的眼为泪的泉源, 我好为我百姓(原文是民女; 七节同)中被杀的人昼夜哭泣.

9:2 Oh that I had in the desert a place of overnight lodging for travelers, that I may leave my people and go from them, for all of them are adulterers, a band of traitors.
惟愿我在旷野有行路人住宿之处, 使我可以离开我的民出去; 因他们都是行奸淫的, 是行诡诈的一党.

9:3 And they bend their tongue like their bow, for falsehood and not truth is superior in the land, for they go forth from evil to evil, and they do not know me,” declares Yahweh.
他们弯起舌头像弓一样, 为要说谎话. 他们在国中增长势力, 不是为行诚实, 乃是恶上加恶, 并不认识我. 这是耶和华说的.

9:4 “Let everyone be on your guard against his neighbor, and you must not trust in any brother, for everyone surely betrays, and every neighbor goes about with slander.
你们各人当谨防邻舍, 不可信靠弟兄; 因为弟兄尽行欺骗, 邻舍都往来谗谤人.

9:5 And everyone deceives his neighbor, and they do not speak the truth, they have taught their tongues to speak lies, they are tired from going astray.
他们各人欺哄邻舍, 不说真话; 他们教舌头学习说谎, 劳劳碌碌地作孽.

9:6 Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit, upon deceit they refuse to know me,” declares Yahweh.
你的住处在诡诈的人中; 他们因行诡诈, 不肯认识我. 这是耶和华说的.

9:7 Therefore, thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Look, I am about to refine them, and I will test them, for what else can I do, because of the presence of the daughter of my people?
所以万军之耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我要将他们镕化熬炼; 不然, 我因我百姓的罪该怎样行呢?

9:8 Their tongue is a murderous arrow, it speaks deceit. With his mouth he speaks peace with his neighbor, but in his inner parts he sets up his ambush.
他们的舌头是毒箭, 说话诡诈; 人与邻舍口说和平话, 心却谋害他.

9:9 Because of these things shall I not punish them?” declares Yahweh, “On a nation that is like this shall I not take revenge?
耶和华说: 我岂不因这些事讨他们的罪呢? 岂不报复这样的国民呢?

9:10 For the mountains I lift up weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the desert a lament, because they are laid waste so that no man passes through. And the sounds of cattle are not heard, from the birds of heaven to the animals they have fled, they are gone.
我要为山岭哭泣悲哀, 为旷野的草场扬声哀号; 因为都已干焦, 甚至无人经过. 人也听不见牲畜鸣叫, 空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽都已逃去.

9:11 And I will make Jerusalem as heaps of ruins, a lair of jackals, and the towns of Judah I will make a desolation, without inhabitants.
我必使耶路撒冷变为乱堆, 为野狗的住处, 也必使犹大的城邑变为荒场, 无人居住.

9:12 Who is the wise man that can understand this? And to whom has the mouth of Yahweh spoken, so that he may declare it? Why is the land destroyed? It is laid waste like the desert so that no one passes through.”
谁是智慧人, 可以明白这事? 耶和华的口向谁说过, 使他可以传说? 遍地为何灭亡, 干焦好像旷野, 甚至无人经过呢?

9:13 And Yahweh said, “Because of their forsaking my law that I set before them, and they have not obeyed my voice, and have not walked in it,
耶和华说: “因为这百姓离弃我, 在他们面前所设立的律法没有遵行, 也没有听从我的话;

9:14 but they went after the stubbornness of their heart, and after the Baals, which their ancestors taught them.”
只随从自己顽梗的心行事, 照他们列祖所教训的随从众巴力. ”

9:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Look, I am feeding this people wormwood, and providing drink for them, water of poison,
所以万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: “看哪, 我必将茵蔯给这百姓吃, 又将苦胆水给他们喝.

9:16 and I will scatter them among the nations that they have not known, they and their ancestors, and I will send the sword after them until I bring them to an end.”
我要把他们散在列邦中, 就是他们和他们列祖素不认识的列邦. 我也要使刀剑追杀他们, 直到将他们灭尽. ”

9:17 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Consider closely, and call for the wailing women, so that they come, and for the skillful women, so that they come.
万军之耶和华如此说: 你们应当思想, 将善唱哀歌的妇女召来, 又打发人召善哭的妇女来,

9:18 And let them hasten, and let them lift up wailing over us, so that our eyes may melt with tears, and our eyelids may flow with water.
叫她们速速为我们举哀, 使我们眼泪汪汪, 使我们的眼皮涌出水来.

9:19 For a sound of wailing is heard from Zion, ‘How we are devastated! We are very ashamed because we have left the land, because they have overthrown our dwelling places.’
因为听见哀声出于锡安, 说: 我们怎样败落了! 我们大大地惭愧! 我们撇下地土; 人也拆毁了我们的房屋.

9:20 For hear, O women, the word of Yahweh, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters a lamentation, and each woman her neighbor a lament.
妇女们哪, 你们当听耶和华的话, 领受他口中的言语; 又当教导你们的儿女举哀, 各人教导邻舍唱哀歌.

9:21 For death has come into our windows, it has entered into our fortresses, to cut off the children from the streets, the young men from the public squares.
因为死亡上来, 进了我们的窗户, 入了我们的宫殿; 要从外边剪除孩童, 从街上剪除少年人.

9:22 Speak, ‘thus declares Yahweh: “The dead body of the human will fall like dung upon the surface of the field, and like cut grain behind the reaper, and there is no one who gathers.” ’ ”
你当说, 耶和华如此说: 人的尸首必倒在田野像粪土, 又像收割的人遗落的一把禾稼, 无人收取.

9:23 Thus says Yahweh, “The wise man must not boast in his wisdom, and the warrior must not boast in his might, the wealthy man must not boast in his wealth.
耶和华如此说: “智慧人不要因他的智慧夸口, 勇士不要因他的勇力夸口, 财主不要因他的财物夸口.

9:24 But only in this must the one who boasts boast, that he has insight, and that he knows me, that I am Yahweh, showing loyal love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for in these things I delight,” declares Yahweh.
夸口的却因他有聪明, 认识我是耶和华, 又知道我喜悦在世上施行慈爱,公平, 和公义, 以此夸口. 这是耶和华说的. ”

9:25 “Look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will call into account all those who are circumcised in the foreskin:
耶和华说: “看哪, 日子将到, 我要刑罚一切受过割礼,心却未受割礼的,

9:26 Egypt, Judah, and Edom, and the Ammonites, and Moab, and all those who are trimmed to the side, those who live in the desert, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.”
就是埃及,犹大,以东,亚扪人,摩押人, 和一切住在旷野剃周围头发的; 因为列国人都没有受割礼, 以色列人心中也没有受割礼. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 10

10:1 Hear the word that Yahweh speaks to you, O house of Israel.
以色列家啊, 要听耶和华对你们所说的话.

10:2 Thus says Yahweh: “You must not learn the way of the nations, and you must not be dismayed by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by them.
耶和华如此说: 你们不要效法列国的行为, 也不要为天象惊惶, 因列国为此事惊惶.

10:3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, for it is a tree cut down from the forest, the work of the hands of a craftsman with the tool.
众民的风俗是虚空的; 他们在树林中用斧子砍伐一棵树, 匠人用手工造成偶像.

10:4 He decorates it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails and hammers, so that it does not stagger.
他们用金银妆饰它, 用钉子和锤子钉稳, 使它不动摇.

10:5 They are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, they cannot speak. Indeed, they must be carried, for they cannot march. You must not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil; furthermore, to do good is not in them.”
它好像棕树, 是镟成的, 不能说话, 不能行走, 必须有人抬着. 你们不要怕它; 它不能降祸, 也无力降福.

10:6 There is none like you, O Yahweh, you are great and your name is great in might.
耶和华啊, 没有能比你的! 你本为大, 有大能大力的名.

10:7 Who would not revere you, O king of the nations? For you it is fitting. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like you.
万国的王啊, 谁不敬畏你? 敬畏你本是合宜的; 因为在列国的智慧人中, 虽有政权的尊荣, 也不能比你.

10:8 At the same time they are stupid and foolish, in the instruction of idols, it is wood.
他们尽都是畜类, 是愚昧的. 偶像的训诲算甚么呢? 偶像不过是木头.

10:9 Silver beaten from Tarshish is brought, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and the hands of the goldsmith. Blue and purple are their clothing, all of them are the work of skillful people.
有银子打成片, 是从他施带来的, 并有从乌法来的金子, 都是匠人和银匠的手工, 又有蓝色紫色料的衣服, 都是巧匠的工作.

10:10 But Yahweh is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king. Because of his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his anger.
惟耶和华是真神, 是活神, 是永远的王. 他一发怒, 大地震动; 他一恼恨, 列国都担当不起.

10:11 “Thus you shall say to them, ‘Gods who did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under these heavens.
(你们要对他们如此说: 不是那创造天地的神, 必从地上从天下被除灭! )

10:12 He is the maker of the earth by his power, who created the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out heaven.
耶和华用能力创造大地, 用智慧建立世界, 用聪明铺张穹苍.

10:13 When he utters his voice there is a noise of water in the heavens, and he causes the mist to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he causes the wind to go out from his storehouses.
他一发声, 空中便有多水激动; 他使云雾从地极上腾; 他造电随雨而闪, 从他府库中带出风来.

10:14 Everyone is stupid, without knowledge, every goldsmith is ashamed by his divine image, for his cast image is an illusion, and there is no breath in them.
各人都成了畜类, 毫无知识; 各银匠都因他雕刻的偶像羞愧. 他所铸的偶像本是虚假的, 其中并无气息,

10:15 They are vanity, a work of mockery, at the time of their punishment, they will perish.
都是虚无的, 是迷惑人的工作; 到追讨的时候必被除灭.

10:16 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the creator of everything, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
雅各的分不像这些, 因他是造作万有的主. 以色列也是他产业的支派, 万军之耶和华是他的名.

10:17 Gather your bundle from the ground, you who live under the siege.’ ”
受围困的人哪, 当收拾你的财物, 从国中带出去.

10:18 For thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am about to sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I will bring distress to them, so that they may feel it.”
因为耶和华如此说: 这时候, 我必将此地的居民, 好像用机弦甩出去, 又必加害在他们身上, 使他们觉悟.

10:19 Woe to me, because of my wound. My wound is incurable. But I said, “Surely this is my sickness, and I must bear it.”
民说: 祸哉! 我受损伤; 我的伤痕极其重大. 我却说: 这真是我的痛苦, 必须忍受.

10:20 My tent is devastated, and all my tent cords are torn. My children have gone out from me, and they are not. There is no one who pitches my tent again, or one who puts up my tent curtains.
我的帐棚毁坏; 我的绳索折断. 我的儿女离我出去, 没有了. 无人再支搭我的帐棚, 挂起我的幔子.

10:21 For the shepherds have become stupid, they do not seek Yahweh. Therefore they do not have insight, and all of their flock are scattered.
因为牧人都成为畜类, 没有求问耶和华, 所以不得顺利; 他们的羊群也都分散.

10:22 Listen, news: Look, it is coming, a great roar from the land of the north, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a lair of jackals.
有风声! 看哪, 敌人来了! 有大扰乱从北方出来, 要使犹大城邑变为荒凉, 成为野狗的住处.

10:23 I know, O Yahweh, that to the human is not his own way, nor to a person is the walking and the directing of his own step.
耶和华啊, 我晓得人的道路不由自己, 行路的人也不能定自己的脚步.

10:24 Chastise me, O Yahweh, but in moderation, not in your anger, lest you eradicate me.
耶和华啊, 求你从宽惩治我, 不要在你的怒中惩治我, 恐怕使我归于无有.

10:25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the peoples that do not call on your name, for they have devoured Jacob, they have devoured and consumed him, and they have caused his settlement to be desolate.
愿你将忿怒倾在不认识你的列国中, 和不求告你名的各族上; 因为他们吞了雅各, 不但吞了, 而且灭绝, 把他的住处变为荒场.

Jeremiah - Chapter 11

11:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

11:2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
“当听这约的话, 告诉犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民,

11:3 and say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “The man is cursed who does not obey the words of this covenant,
对他们说, 耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 不听从这约之话的人必受咒诅.

11:4 which I commanded your ancestors in the day of my bringing them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace of iron, saying, ‘Listen to my voice and do according to all that I command you, so will you be my people, and I will be your God.’
这约是我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来,脱离铁炉的那日所吩咐他们的, 说: ‘你们要听从我的话, 照我一切所吩咐的去行. ’这样, 你们就作我的子民, 我也作你们的神;

11:5 in order to keep the oath that I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.” ’ ” Then I answered and said, “Let it be so, O Yahweh.”
我好坚定向你们列祖所起的誓, 给他们流奶与蜜之地, 正如今日一样. ”我就回答说: “耶和华啊, 阿们! ”

11:6 And Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them,
耶和华对我说: “你要在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街市上, 宣告这一切话说: 你们当听从遵行这约的话.

11:7 for I solemnly admonished your ancestors in the day of my leading them out from the land of Egypt and up to this day, admonishing persistently, saying, “Obey my voice.”
因为我将你们列祖从埃及地领出来的那日, 直到今日, 都是从早起来, 切切诰诫他们说: ‘你们当听从我的话. ’

11:8 But they did not obey and they did not incline their ear. Instead each one walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore, I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them to do, and they did not do it.’ ”
他们却不听从, 不侧耳而听, 竟随从自己顽梗的恶心去行. 所以我使这约中一切咒诅的话临到他们身上; 这约是我吩咐他们行的, 他们却不去行. ”

11:9 And Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the people of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
耶和华对我说: “在犹大人和耶路撒冷居民中有同谋背叛的事.

11:10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their former ancestors, who refused to obey my words, and they have gone after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their ancestors.”
他们转去效法他们的先祖, 不肯听我的话, 犯罪作孽, 又随从别神, 事奉它. 以色列家和犹大家背了我与他们列祖所立的约. ”

11:11 Therefore thus says Yahweh, “I am about to bring on them disaster from which they will not be able to escape. Though they cry out to me, yet I will not listen to them.
所以耶和华如此说: “我必使灾祸临到他们, 是他们不能逃脱的. 他们必向我哀求, 我却不听.

11:12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they are making smoke offerings, but they will certainly not save them in the time of their trouble.
那时, 犹大城邑的人和耶路撒冷的居民要去哀求他们烧香所供奉的神; 只是遭难的时候, 这些神毫不拯救他们.

11:13 For the number of your towns are your gods, O Judah, and the number of the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful things, to make smoke offerings to Baal.
犹大啊, 你神的数目与你城的数目相等; 你为那可耻的巴力所筑烧香的坛也与耶路撒冷街道的数目相等.

11:14 Therefore you must not pray for this people, and you must not lift up for them a cry of entreaty, or a prayer, for I will not listen in the time of their calling to me, in the time of their trouble.
“所以你不要为这百姓祈祷, 不要为他们呼求祷告; 因为他们遭难向我哀求的时候, 我必不应允.

11:15 What rights has my beloved in my house when she has done many wicked things? Can the flesh of holiness pass over you? For you engage in your wickedness, then you exult.
我所亲爱的, 既行许多淫乱, 圣肉也离了你, 你在我殿中做甚么呢? 你作恶就喜乐.

11:16 Yahweh called your name, ‘A leafy olive tree, beautiful with fine fruit.’ With the sound of a great storm he will set fire to it, and its branches will be good for nothing.
从前耶和华给你起名叫青橄榄树, 又华美又结好果子; 如今他用哄嚷之声, 点火在其上, 枝子也被折断.

11:17 And Yahweh of hosts, the one who planted you, has spoken evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, that they have done to themselves, to provoke me to anger by making smoke offerings to Baal.”
原来栽培你的万军之耶和华已经说, 要降祸攻击你, 是因以色列家和犹大家行恶, 向巴力烧香, 惹我发怒, 是自作自受. ”

11:18 Moreover, Yahweh let it be made known to me, and I knew. Then you showed me their deeds.
耶和华指示我, 我就知道; 你将他们所行的给我指明.

11:19 And I was like a gentle ram-lamb that is brought to slaughter, and I did not know that they planned plans against me, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
我却像柔顺的羊羔被牵到宰杀之地; 我并不知道他们设计谋害我, 说: 我们把树连果子都灭了吧! 将他从活人之地剪除, 使他的名不再被纪念.

11:20 But O Yahweh of hosts, who judges in righteousness, who tests the inmost being, and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have revealed my legal case.
按公义判断,察验人肺腑心肠的万军之耶和华啊, 我却要见你在他们身上报仇, 因我将我的案件向你禀明了.

11:21 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the people of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, “You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh or you will die by our hand.”
所以, 耶和华论到寻索你命的亚拿突人如此说: “他们说: 你不要奉耶和华的名说预言, 免得你死在我们手中.

11:22 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Look, I am about to punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by the famine.
所以万军之耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我必刑罚他们; 他们的少年人必被刀剑杀死, 他们的儿女必因饥荒灭亡,

11:23 And a remnant will not be left for them, for I will bring disaster to the people of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.”
并且没有余剩的人留给他们; 因为在追讨之年, 我必使灾祸临到亚拿突人. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 12

12:1 You will be in the right, O Yahweh, when I complain to you. Even so, let me speak my claims with you. Why does the way of the wicked succeed? All those who deal treacherously with treachery are at ease.
耶和华啊, 我与你争辩的时候, 你显为义; 但有一件, 我还要与你理论: 恶人的道路为何亨通呢? 大行诡诈的为何得安逸呢?

12:2 Not only do you plant them, they take root. They grow, but also they produce fruit. You are near in their mouths, but far from their inmost beings.
你栽培了他们, 他们也扎了根, 长大, 而且结果. 他们的口是与你相近, 心却与你远离.

12:3 But you, O Yahweh, you know me, you see me, and you test that my heart is with you. Tear them apart like sheep for the slaughtering, and set them apart for the day of slaughter.
耶和华啊, 你晓得我, 看见我, 察验我向你是怎样的心. 求你将他们拉出来, 好像将宰的羊, 叫他们等候杀戮的日子.

12:4 How long will the land mourn, and the vegetation of every field dry up, because of the wickedness of those who live in it? The animals and the birds are swept away, because they have said, “He does not see our future.”
这地悲哀, 通国的青草枯干, 要到几时呢? 因其上居民的恶行, 牲畜和飞鸟都灭绝了. 他们曾说: 他看不见我们的结局.

12:5 “If you run with foot soldiers and they have made you weary, then how will you compete with horses? If you have fallen in a peaceful land, then how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
耶和华说: 你若与步行的人同跑, 尚且觉累, 怎能与马赛跑呢? 你在平安之地, 虽然安稳, 在约旦河边的丛林要怎样行呢?

12:6 For even your relatives, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you, even they call loudly after you. You must not trust in them, though they speak kindly to you.
因为连你弟兄和你父家都用奸诈待你. 他们也在你后边大声喊叫, 虽向你说好话, 你也不要信他们.

12:7 I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my inheritance. I have given the beloved one of my heart into the hand of her enemies.
我离了我的殿宇, 撇弃我的产业, 将我心里所亲爱的交在她仇敌的手中.

12:8 My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest. She has lifted up against me her voice; therefore I hate her.
我的产业向我如林中的狮子, 她发声攻击我, 因此我恨恶她.

12:9 The lair of the hyena is my inheritance to me, the birds of prey are all around her. Go, gather all of the animals of the field, bring them to come and devour.
我的产业向我岂如斑点的鸷鸟呢? 鸷鸟岂在她四围攻击她呢? 你们要去聚集田野的百兽, 带来吞吃吧!

12:10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trampled down my plot of land. They have made my pleasant field like the desert of desolation.
许多牧人毁坏我的葡萄园, 践踏我的分, 使我美好的分变为荒凉的旷野.

12:11 They have made it a desolation. Desolate, it mourns to me. All the land is made desolate, but there is no person taking it to heart.
他们使地荒凉; 地既荒凉, 便向我悲哀. 全地荒凉, 因无人介意.

12:12 Upon all the barren heights in the desert destroyers have come, for the sword of Yahweh devours, from one end of the land to the other end of the land, there is no peace for all flesh.
灭命的都来到旷野中一切净光的高处; 耶和华的刀从地这边直到地那边尽行杀灭. 凡有血气的都不得平安.

12:13 They have sown wheat and they have reaped thorns. They are exhausted, they do not profit. And they will be ashamed of your produce, because of the burning anger of Yahweh.”
他们种的是麦子, 收的是荆棘; 劳劳苦苦却毫无益处. 因耶和华的烈怒, 你们必为自己的土产羞愧.

12:14 Thus says Yahweh concerning all of the evil neighbors who touch the inheritance that I gave as an inheritance to my people Israel: “Look, I am about to drive them out from their land, and the house of Judah I will drive out from among them.
耶和华如此说: “一切恶邻, 就是占据我使百姓以色列所承受产业的, 我要将他们拔出本地, 又要将犹大家从他们中间拔出来.

12:15 And then after my driving them out, I will once again have compassion on them, and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land.
我拔出他们以后, 我必转过来怜悯他们, 把他们再带回来, 各归本业, 各归故土.

12:16 And then, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘as Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will live in the midst of my people.
他们若殷勤学习我百姓的道, 指着我的名起誓说: ‘我指著永生的耶和华起誓’, 正如他们从前教我百姓指著巴力起誓, 他们就必建立在我百姓中间.

12:17 But if they do not listen, then I will completely uproot and destroy that nation.” declares Yahweh.
他们若是不听, 我必拔出那国, 拔出而且毁灭. 这是耶和华说的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 13

13:1 Thus Yahweh said to me: “Go and buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and put it on your loins, but you must not place it in water.”
耶和华对我如此说: “你去买一根麻布带子束腰, 不可放在水中. ”

13:2 So I bought the loincloth according to the word of Yahweh and I put it on my loins.
我就照着耶和华的话, 买了一根带子束腰.

13:3 Now the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
耶和华的话第二次临到我说:

13:4 “Take the loincloth that you bought, that is on your loins, and stand up, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock.”
“要拿着你所买的腰带, 就是你腰上的带子, 起来往幼发拉底河去, 将腰带藏在那里的磐石穴中. ”

13:5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates just as Yahweh had commanded me.
我就去, 照着耶和华所吩咐我的, 将腰带藏在幼发拉底河边.

13:6 And then, after a long time, then Yahweh said to me, “Stand up, go to the Euphrates and take from there the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
过了多日, 耶和华对我说: “你起来往幼发拉底河去, 将我吩咐你藏在那里的腰带取出来. ”

13:7 Then I went to the Euphrates and I dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it, and look, the loincloth was ruined; it was not good for anything.
我就往幼发拉底河去, 将腰带从我所藏的地方刨出来, 见腰带已经变坏, 毫无用了.

13:8 And then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

13:9 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘So I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“耶和华如此说: 我必照样败坏犹大的骄傲和耶路撒冷的大骄傲.

13:10 This evil people, who refuse to listen to my words, who go in the stubbornness of their hearts, and have gone after other gods, to serve them, and to bow in worship to them, let them be like this loincloth which is not good for anything.
这恶民不肯听我的话, 按自己顽梗的心而行, 随从别神, 事奉敬拜, 他们也必像这腰带变为无用. ”

13:11 For as the loincloth clings to the loins of a person, so I caused to cling to me all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to be for me a people, and a name, and a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.’
耶和华说: “腰带怎样紧贴人腰, 照样, 我也使以色列全家和犹大全家紧贴我, 好叫他们属我为子民, 使我得名声, 得颂赞, 得荣耀; 他们却不肯听. ”

13:12 “Therefore, you shall say to them this word, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Every jar must be filled with wine.” ’ And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every jar should be filled with wine?’
“所以你要对他们说: ‘耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 各坛都要盛满了酒. ’他们必对你说: ‘我们岂不确知各坛都要盛满了酒呢? ’

13:13 Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am about to fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings who sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with drunkenness.
你就要对他们说: ‘耶和华如此说: 我必使这地的一切居民, 就是坐大卫宝座的君王和祭司, 与先知, 并耶路撒冷的一切居民, 都酩酊大醉. ’”

13:14 And I will smash them, each one against his brother, and the fathers and the sons together,” declares Yahweh. “I will not have compassion, and I will not take pity, and I will not show compassion from destroying them.” ’ ”
耶和华说: “我要使他们彼此相碰, 就是父与子彼此相碰; 我必不可怜, 不顾惜, 不怜悯, 以致灭绝他们. ”

13:15 Listen, and pay attention, you must not be haughty, for Yahweh has spoken.
你们当听, 当侧耳而听. 不要骄傲, 因为耶和华已经说了.

13:16 Give glory to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before your feet stumble on the mountains at twilight. And you will hope for light, but he makes it as gloom, he makes it as thick darkness.
耶和华─你们的神未使黑暗来到, 你们的脚未在昏暗山上绊跌之先, 当将荣耀归给他; 免得你们盼望光明, 他使光明变为死荫, 成为幽暗.

13:17 But if you will not listen to it, my inner self will weep in secret places, because of the presence of your pride. And my eyes will weep bitterly, and they will melt in tears, because the flock of Yahweh has been taken captive.
你们若不听这话, 我必因你们的骄傲在暗地哭泣; 我眼必痛哭流泪, 因为耶和华的群众被掳去了.

13:18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, ‘Take a lower seat, for your beautiful crown has come down from your head.’
你要对君王和太后说: 你们当自卑, 坐在下边; 因你们的头巾, 就是你们的华冠, 已经脱落了.

13:19 The towns of the Negev are shut up, and there is no one who opens them. All of Judah is deported; it is deported in completeness.
南方的城尽都关闭, 无人开放; 犹大全被掳掠, 且掳掠净尽.

13:20 Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your magnificent flock?
你们要举目观看从北方来的人. 先前赐给你的群众, 就是你佳美的群众, 如今在哪里呢?

13:21 What will you say when he sets over you— and you have taught them—allies as head over you? Will not labor pains take hold of you, like a woman giving birth?
耶和华立你自己所交的朋友为首, 辖制你, 那时你还有甚么话说呢? 痛苦岂不将你抓住像产难的妇人吗?

13:22 And if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things happened to me?’ Because of the greatness of your iniquity your skirts are uncovered; your heels have endured violence.
你若心里说: 这一切事为何临到我呢? 你的衣襟揭起, 你的脚跟受伤, 是因你的罪孽甚多.

13:23 Can a Cushite change his skin, or a leopard his spots? Then you also will be able to do good, who are accustomed to doing evil.
古实人岂能改变皮肤呢? 豹岂能改变斑点呢? 若能, 你们这习惯行恶的便能行善了.

13:24 And I will scatter them like stubble scattered by the wind of the desert.
所以我必用旷野的风吹散他们, 像吹过的碎秸一样.

13:25 This is your lot, the portion of your measure from me,” declares Yahweh, “because you have forgotten me, and you have trusted in the lie.
耶和华说: 这是你所当得的, 是我量给你的分; 因为你忘记我, 倚靠虚假(或译: 偶像).

13:26 So in turn I will bare your skirts over your face, and your shame will become visible.
所以我要揭起你的衣襟, 蒙在你脸上, 显出你的丑陋.

13:27 Your adulteries, and your neighings, the shameful behavior of your fornications on the hills in the countryside, I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you continue to be unclean?”
你那些可憎恶之事─就是在田野的山上行奸淫, 发嘶声, 做淫乱的事─我都看见了. 耶路撒冷啊, 你有祸了! 你不肯洁净, 还要到几时呢?

Jeremiah - Chapter 14

14:1 That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah concerning the matter of the severe drought.
耶和华论到干旱之灾的话临到耶利米:

14:2 “Judah mourns, and her gates languish, they are in mourning on the ground, and the cry of lament of Jerusalem goes up.
犹大悲哀, 城门衰败. 众人披上黑衣坐在地上; 耶路撒冷的哀声上达.

14:3 And their nobles send their servants for water. They come to the pits, they find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are ashamed, and they are confounded, and they cover their heads.
他们的贵冑打发家僮打水; 他们来到水池, 见没有水, 就拿着空器皿, 蒙羞惭愧, 抱头而回.

14:4 Because of the ground, which is cracked because there was no rain on the ground. The farmers are ashamed, they cover their heads.
耕地的也蒙羞抱头; 因为无雨降在地上, 地都干裂.

14:5 For even the doe in the field gives birth and forsakes her young, because there is no green growth.
田野的母鹿生下小鹿, 就撇弃, 因为无草.

14:6 And wild asses stand on the barren heights, they gasp for breath like the jackals. Their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.”
野驴站在净光的高处, 喘气好像野狗; 因为无草, 眼目失明.

14:7 Although our iniquities testify against us, O Yahweh, act for the sake of your name. Yes, our apostasies are many; we have sinned against you.
耶和华啊, 我们的罪孽虽然作见证告我们, 还求你为你名的缘故行事. 我们本是多次背道, 得罪了你.

14:8 You are the hope of Israel, its savior in time of distress. Why should you be like an alien in the land, or like a traveler who spreads out his tent to spend the night?
以色列所盼望,在患难时作他救主的啊, 你为何在这地像寄居的, 又像行路的只住一宵呢?

14:9 Why should you be like a confused man, like a warrior who is not able to help? Yet you are in our midst, O Yahweh, and your name is called upon us. You must not leave us!
你为何像受惊的人, 像不能救人的勇士呢? 耶和华啊, 你仍在我们中间; 我们也称为你名下的人, 求你不要离开我们.

14:10 Thus says Yahweh concerning this people: “They have loved so much to wander, they have not spared their feet. Therefore Yahweh is not favorable to them, now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.”
耶和华对这百姓如此说: 这百姓喜爱妄行(原文是飘流), 不禁止脚步, 所以耶和华不悦纳他们. 现今要记念他们的罪孽, 追讨他们的罪恶.

14:11 So Yahweh said to me, “You must not pray for this people, for their happiness.
耶和华又对我说: “不要为这百姓祈祷求好处.

14:12 Although they fast, I am not listening to their cry of entreaty. And although they present burnt offering and grain offering, I am not favorable to them. But by the sword, and by the famine, and by the plague, I am about to destroy them.”
他们禁食的时候, 我不听他们的呼求; 他们献燔祭和素祭, 我也不悦纳; 我却要用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫灭绝他们. ”

14:13 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, look, the prophets are saying to them, ‘You will not see the sword, and famine will not be yours, but reliable peace I will give to you in this place.’ ”
我就说: “唉! 主耶和华啊, 那些先知常对他们说: ‘你们必不看见刀剑, 也不遭遇饥荒; 耶和华要在这地方赐你们长久的平安. ’”

14:14 And Yahweh said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them, and I have not commanded them, and I have not spoken to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, and a divination, worthless, and the deceitfulness of their minds.”
耶和华对我说: “那些先知托我的名说假预言, 我并没有打发他们, 没有吩咐他们, 也没有对他们说话; 他们向你们预言的, 乃是虚假的异象和占卜, 并虚无的事, 以及本心的诡诈.

14:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who prophecy in my name though I have not sent them, yet they are saying, “Sword and famine will not be in this land.” “By the sword and by the famine those prophets will perish.
所以耶和华如此说: 论到托我名说预言的那些先知, 我并没有打发他们; 他们还说这地不能有刀剑饥荒, 其实那些先知必被刀剑饥荒灭绝.

14:16 And the people to whom they are prophesying will be cast out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. And there will be no one who buries them, their wives, or their sons, or their daughters. And I will pour out on them their wickedness.
听他们说预言的百姓必因饥荒刀剑抛在耶路撒冷的街道上, 无人葬埋. 他们连妻子带儿女, 都是如此. 我必将他们的恶倒在他们身上(或译: 我必使他们罪恶的报应临到他们身上). ”

14:17 “And you shall say to them this word, ‘Let my eyes melt with tears night and day, and let them not cease, for with a great wound the virgin daughter of my people is broken, with a very incurable wound.
你要将这话对他们说: 愿我眼泪汪汪, 昼夜不息, 因为我百姓(原文是民的处女)受了裂口破坏的大伤.

14:18 If I go out into the field, then look, those slain by the sword. And if I enter the city, then look, the sickness of the famine. For both prophet and priest wander around through the land, they do not know what is going on.’ ”
我若出往田间, 就见有被刀杀的; 我若进入城内, 就见有因饥荒患病的; 连先知带祭司在国中往来, 也是毫无知识(或译: 不知怎样才好).

14:19 Have you completely rejected Judah? Or has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us so that there is no healing for us? We hope for peace, but there is no good, and for a time of healing, but look, there is terror.
你全然弃掉犹大吗? 你心厌恶锡安吗? 为何击打我们, 以致无法医治呢? 我们指望平安, 却得不著好处; 指望痊愈, 不料, 受了惊惶.

14:20 We know, O Yahweh, our wickedness, the iniquity of our ancestors, for we have sinned against you.
耶和华啊, 我们承认自己的罪恶, 和我们列祖的罪孽, 因我们得罪了你.

14:21 You must not spurn us for the sake of your name, you must not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember us! You must not break your covenant with us.
求你为你名的缘故, 不厌恶我们, 不辱没你荣耀的宝座. 求你追念, 不要背了与我们所立的约.

14:22 Are there any among the idols of the nation who cause rain to pour? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not you, O Yahweh our God? Therefore, we hope in you, for you do all these things.
外邦人虚无的神中有能降雨的吗? 天能自降甘霖吗? 耶和华─我们的神啊, 能如此的不是你吗? 所以, 我们仍要等候你, 因为这一切都是你所造的.

Jeremiah - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me, my heart would not be to this people. Send them away from my sight, and let them go out.
耶和华对我说: “虽有摩西和撒母耳站在我面前代求, 我的心也不顾惜这百姓. 你将他们从我眼前赶出, 叫他们去吧!

15:2 And then if they say to you, ‘Where shall we go?’ Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Those who are destined for the plague, to the plague, and those who are destined for the sword, to the sword, and those who are destined for the famine, to the famine, and those who are destined for the captivity, to the captivity.” ’
他们问你说: ‘我们往哪里去呢? ’你便告诉他们, 耶和华如此说: 定为死亡的, 必致死亡; 定为刀杀的, 必交刀杀; 定为饥荒的, 必遭饥荒; 定为掳掠的, 必被掳掠. ”

15:3 “And I will summon over them four types of calamity,” declares Yahweh, “the sword to kill, and the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and the wild animals of the earth to devour and to destroy.
耶和华说: “我命定四样害他们, 就是刀剑杀戮,狗类撕裂,空中的飞鸟, 和地上的野兽吞吃毁灭;

15:4 And I will make them a terror to all of the kingdoms of the earth because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, because of what he did in Jerusalem.
又必使他们在天下万国中抛来抛去, 都因犹大王希西家的儿子玛拿西在耶路撒冷所行的事. ”

15:5 “For who will have compassion on you, O Jerusalem, or who will show sympathy to you, or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
耶路撒冷啊, 谁可怜你呢? 谁为你悲伤呢? 谁转身问你的安呢?

15:6 You have forsaken me,” declares Yahweh. “You go backward, so I have stretched my hand against you, and I have destroyed you. I am tired of becoming remorseful.
耶和华说: 你弃绝了我, 转身退后; 因此我伸手攻击你, 毁坏你. 我后悔甚不耐烦.

15:7 And I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork in the gates of the land. I am bereaved. I have destroyed my people. They did not turn back from their ways.
我在境内各城门口(或译: 我在这地边界的关口), 用簸箕簸了我的百姓, 使他们丧掉儿女. 我毁灭他们, 他们仍不转离所行的道.

15:8 Their widows will be more numerous before me than the sand of the seas. I have brought to them, against the mothers of young men, a destroyer at noon. I will suddenly drop on her anguish and horror.
他们的寡妇在我面前比海沙更多; 我使灭命的午间来, 攻击少年人的母亲, 使痛苦惊吓忽然临到她身上.

15:9 She who gave birth to seven has withered away. She gasps her breath. Her sun set while still day. She has been put to shame and disgraced. And the remainder of them I will give to the sword before their enemies,” declares Yahweh.
生过七子的妇人力衰气绝; 尚在白昼, 日头忽落; 她抱愧蒙羞. 其余的人, 我必在他们敌人跟前, 交与刀剑. 这是耶和华说的.

15:10 Woe to me, O my mother, that you gave birth to me, a man of contention and quarreling to the whole land. I have not lent out and I have not borrowed. All of them are cursing me.
我的母亲哪, 我有祸了! 因你生我作为遍地相争相竞的人. 我素来没有借贷与人, 人也没有借贷与我, 人人却都咒骂我.

15:11 Yahweh said, “Surely I will set you free to be good for you, surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you in a time of trouble, and in a time of distress.
耶和华说: “我必要坚固你, 使你得好处. 灾祸苦难临到的时候, 我必要使仇敌央求你.

15:12 Can anyone break iron, iron from the north, or bronze?
(人岂能将铜与铁, 就是北方的铁折断呢? )

15:13 I will give your wealth and your treasures as plunder without price, even because of all your sins, and throughout all your territories.
“我必因你在四境之内所犯的一切罪, 把你的货物财宝当掠物, 白白地交给仇敌.

15:14 And I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for a fire will kindle in my anger. Upon you it will be kindled.”
我也必使仇敌带这掠物到你所不认识的地去, 因我怒中起的火要将你们焚烧. ”

15:15 You who know, O Yahweh, remember me, and attend to me, and take revenge for me against my persecutors in your forbearance. You must take me away. Know that I am carrying disgrace because of you.
耶和华啊, 你是知道的; 求你记念我, 眷顾我, 向逼迫我的人为我报仇; 不要向他们忍怒取我的命, 要知道我为你的缘故受了凌辱.

15:16 Your words were found and I ate them, and your words became to me as jubilation, even as the joy of my heart, for your name is called on me, O Yahweh God of hosts.
耶和华─万军之神啊, 我得着你的言语就当食物吃了; 你的言语是我心中的欢喜快乐, 因我是称为你名下的人.

15:17 I sat not in the assembly of jokers, nor did I exult. Because of the presence of your hand I sat alone, for you filled me with indignation.
我没有坐在宴乐人的会中, 也没有欢乐; 我因你的感动(原文是手)独自静坐, 因你使我满心愤恨.

15:18 Why is my pain endless, and my wound incurable? It refuses to become healed. Truly you are to me like a deceitful brook, waters that are not trustworthy.
我的痛苦为何长久不止呢? 我的伤痕为何无法医治,不能痊愈呢? 难道你待我有诡诈, 像流干的河道吗?

15:19 Therefore thus says Yahweh, “If you turn back, then I will take you back. You will stand before me. And if you utter what is precious and not what is worthless, you will be as my mouth. They will turn back to you, and you will not turn back to them.
耶和华如此说: 你若归回, 我就将你再带来, 使你站在我面前; 你若将宝贵的和下贱的分别出来, 你就可以当作我的口. 他们必归向你, 你却不可归向他们.

15:20 And I will make you to this people a wall of fortified bronze, and they will fight against you, but they will not prevail over you, for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
我必使你向这百姓成为坚固的铜墙; 他们必攻击你, 却不能胜你; 因我与你同在, 要拯救你, 搭救你. 这是耶和华说的.

15:21 “And I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you from the hand of the tyrant.”
我必搭救你脱离恶人的手, 救赎你脱离强暴人的手.

Jeremiah - Chapter 16

16:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

16:2 “You shall not take for yourself a wife, there shall not be for you sons and daughters in this place.”
“你在这地方不可娶妻, 生儿养女.

16:3 For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters born in this place, and concerning their mothers who gave birth to them, and concerning their fathers who fathered them in this land:
因为论到在这地方所生的儿女, 又论到在这国中生养他们的父母, 耶和华如此说:

16:4 “They will die by diseases, they will not be mourned, and they will not be buried. They will be as dung on the face of the earth. And they will perish by the sword and they will perish by the famine. And their dead bodies will become food for the birds of the air, and for the wild animals of the earth.”
他们必死得甚苦, 无人哀哭, 必不得葬埋, 必在地上像粪土, 必被刀剑和饥荒灭绝; 他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物. ”

16:5 For thus says Yahweh, “You must not enter the house of the funeral meal, and you must not go to lament, and you must not show sympathy for them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” declares Yahweh, “the loyal love and the compassion.
耶和华如此说: “不要进入丧家, 不要去哀哭, 也不要为他们悲伤, 因我已将我的平安,慈爱,怜悯从这百姓夺去了. 这是耶和华说的.

16:6 Both the great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried, and they will not mourn for them, and no one will cut himself with a blade, and no one will shave himself for them.
连大带小, 都必在这地死亡, 不得葬埋. 人必不为他们哀哭, 不用刀划身, 也不使头光秃.

16:7 And they will not break bread for the mourning ceremony for them, to comfort him because of the dead. And they will not give drink to them, the cup of desolation, for their fathers, or for their mothers.
他们有丧事, 人必不为他们擘饼, 因死人安慰他们; 他们丧父丧母, 人也不给他们一杯酒安慰他们.

16:8 And you shall not enter the house of the banquet, to sit with them, to eat and drink.”
你不可进入宴乐的家, 与他们同坐吃喝.

16:9 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Look, I am about to cause to disappear from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of jubilation, and the voice of joy, and the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
因为万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你们还活着的日子在你们眼前, 我必使欢喜和快乐的声音, 新郎和新妇的声音, 从这地方止息了.

16:10 And then when you tell this people all these words and they ask you, ‘Why has Yahweh pronounced against us all this great evil, and what is our iniquity, and what is our sin that we have sinned against Yahweh our God?’
“你将这一切的话指示这百姓. 他们问你说: ‘耶和华为甚么说, 要降这大灾祸攻击我们呢? 我们有甚么罪孽呢? 我们向耶和华─我们的神犯了甚么罪呢? ’

16:11 Then you shall say to them, ‘Because your ancestors have forsaken me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and they have gone after other gods, and they have served them, and they have bowed down in worship to them, and they have forsaken me, and they have not kept my laws.
你就对他们说: ‘耶和华说: 因为你们列祖离弃我, 随从别神, 事奉敬拜, 不遵守我的律法,

16:12 And you have behaved badly more than your ancestors, and look, you are going each one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, without listening to me.
而且你们行恶比你们列祖更甚; 因为各人随从自己顽梗的恶心行事, 甚至不听从我,

16:13 So I will throw you from this land to the land that you have not known, you or your ancestors, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will not show you favor.
所以我必将你们从这地赶出, 直赶到你们和你们列祖素不认识的地. 你们在那里必昼夜事奉别神, 因为我必不向你们施恩. ’

16:14 Therefore look, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and it will no longer be said, “As Yahweh lives, who led up the Israelites from the land of Egypt,”
耶和华说: “日子将到, 人必不再指著那领以色列人从埃及地上来之永生的耶和华起誓,

16:15 but only “As Yahweh lives, who led up the Israelites from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them,” for I will bring them back to their ground that I gave to their ancestors.
却要指著那领以色列人从北方之地, 并赶他们到的各国上来之永生的耶和华起誓, 并且我要领他们再入我从前赐给他们列祖之地. ”

16:16 Look, I am sending for many fishermen,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and they will fish them out, and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and from the clefts of the cliffs.
耶和华说: “我要召许多打鱼的把以色列人打上来, 然后我要召许多打猎的, 从各山上,各冈上,各石穴中猎取他们.

16:17 For my eyes are on all their ways, they are not hidden from before me, and their iniquity is not concealed from before my eyes.
因我的眼目察看他们的一切行为; 他们不能在我面前遮掩, 他们的罪孽也不能在我眼前隐藏.

16:18 And I will first doubly repay their iniquity and their sin because of their profaning my land with the dead bodies of their abhorrences, and with their abominations they have filled up my inheritance.’ ”
我先要加倍报应他们的罪孽和罪恶; 因为他们用可憎之尸玷污我的地土, 又用可厌之物充满我的产业. ”

16:19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our ancestors have inherited only lies, vanity, and there is no profit in them.
耶和华啊, 你是我的力量, 是我的保障; 在苦难之日是我的避难所. 列国人必从地极来到你这里, 说: 我们列祖所承受的, 不过是虚假, 是虚空无益之物.

16:20 Can a human make for himself gods? Yet they are not gods!”
人岂可为自己制造神呢? 其实这不是神.

16:21 “Therefore look, I am about to let them know, this time I am going to let them know my power and my might, and they will know that my name is Yahweh.”
耶和华说: “我要使他们知道, 就是这一次使他们知道我的手和我的能力. 他们就知道我的名是耶和华了. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 17

17:1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus, with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars.
犹大的罪是用铁笔,用金钢钻记录的, 铭刻在他们的心版上和坛角上.

17:2 As the remembering of their children, so is the remembering of their altars and their poles of Asherah worship beside the leafy trees on the high hills.
他们的儿女记念他们高冈上,青翠树旁的坛和木偶.

17:3 O my mountain in the open country, I will give your wealth, all your treasures, for spoil, your high places, because of your sin, throughout all your territories.
我田野的山哪, 我必因你在四境之内所犯的罪, 把你的货物,财宝, 并邱坛当掠物交给仇敌;

17:4 And you will let go your hand from your inheritance that I gave to you, and I will make you serve your enemies in the land that you do not know, for you kindled a fire in my anger, until eternity it will be kindled.”
并且你因自己的罪必失去我所赐给你的产业. 我也必使你在你所不认识的地上服事你的仇敌; 因为你使我怒中起火, 直烧到永远.

17:5 Thus says Yahweh, “Cursed is the person who trusts in humankind and makes flesh his strength, and turns aside his heart from Yahweh.
耶和华如此说: 倚靠人血肉的膀臂, 心中离弃耶和华的, 那人有祸了!

17:6 And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness, and he will not see when good comes, and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert, in a land of salt flats, where no one lives.
因他必像沙漠的杜松, 不见福乐来到, 却要住旷野干旱之处, 无人居住的碱地.

17:7 Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh, and Yahweh is his trust.
倚靠耶和华,以耶和华为可靠的, 那人有福了!

17:8 For he will be like a tree planted by water, and to the stream it sends its roots, and it will not fear when heat comes, and its leaves will be luxuriant, and in the year of drought it will not be anxious, and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.
他必像树栽于水旁, 在河边扎根, 炎热来到, 并不惧怕, 叶子仍必青翠, 在干旱之年毫无挂虑, 而且结果不止.

17:9 The heart is deceitful more than anything else, and it is disastrous. Who can understand it?
人心比万物都诡诈, 坏到极处, 谁能识透呢?

17:10 I, Yahweh, examine the mind, I test the heart, and give to each one according to his way, according to the fruit of his deeds.
我─耶和华是鉴察人心,试验人肺腑的, 要照各人所行的和他做事的结果报应他.

17:11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay is one who amasses wealth without justice. In the middle of his days it will leave him, and at his end he will prove to be a fool.”
那不按正道得财的, 好像鹧鸪菢不是自己下的蛋; 到了中年, 那财都必离开他, 他终久成为愚顽人.

17:12 A lofty throne of glory from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
我们的圣所是荣耀的宝座, 从太初安置在高处.

17:13 O Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all those who forsake you will be put to shame, and those who turn aside from you in the earth will be recorded, for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, Yahweh.
耶和华─以色列的盼望啊, 凡离弃你的必致蒙羞. 耶和华说: 离开我的, 他们的名字必写在土里, 因为他们离弃我这活水的泉源.

17:14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed, save me, and I will be saved, for you are my praise.
耶和华啊, 求你医治我, 我便痊愈, 拯救我, 我便得救; 因你是我所赞美的.

17:15 Look, they are saying to me, “Where is the word of Yahweh? Please let it come.”
他们对我说: 耶和华的话在哪里呢? 叫这话应验吧!

17:16 But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you, and I have not desired the disastrous day. You, you know the pronouncement of my lips, it was before your face.
至于我, 那跟从你作牧人的职分, 我并没有急忙离弃, 也没有想那灾殃的日子; 这是你知道的. 我口中所出的言语都在你面前.

17:17 You must not become to me a terror, you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
不要使我因你惊恐; 当灾祸的日子, 你是我的避难所.

17:18 Let my persecutors be put to shame, but as for me, do not let me be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, but as for me, do not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of disaster, and with double destruction, destroy them.
愿那些逼迫我的蒙羞, 却不要使我蒙羞; 使他们惊惶, 却不要使我惊惶; 使灾祸的日子临到他们, 以加倍的毁坏毁坏他们.

17:19 Thus said Yahweh to me, “Go, and you must stand in the People’s Gate through which the kings of Judah enter, and through which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
耶和华对我如此说: “你去站在平民的门口, 就是犹大君王出入的门, 又站在耶路撒冷的各门口,

17:20 And you must say to them, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem who enter through these gates.
对他们说: ‘你们这犹大君王和犹大众人, 并耶路撒冷的一切居民, 凡从这些门进入的都当听耶和华的话.

17:21 Thus says Yahweh, “Be on your guard for the sake of yourselves, that you must not carry a burden on the day of the Sabbath, and you must not bring it through the gates of Jerusalem.
耶和华如此说: 你们要谨慎, 不要在安息日担甚么担子进入耶路撒冷的各门;

17:22 And you must not carry a burden from your houses on the day of the Sabbath, and you must not do any work. But you must declare holy the day of Sabbath, just as I commanded your ancestors.
也不要在安息日从家中担出担子去. 无论何工都不可做, 只要以安息日为圣日, 正如我所吩咐你们列祖的. ’

17:23 Yet they did not listen, and they did not incline their ear, and they hardened their neck so as to not hear, nor to receive discipline.
他们却不听从, 不侧耳而听, 竟硬著颈项不听, 不受教训. ”

17:24 “And it will happen, if you carefully listen to me,” declares Yahweh, “to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, but to declare holy the day of Sabbath, not to do on it any work,
耶和华说: “你们若留意听从我, 在安息日不担甚么担子进入这城的各门, 只以安息日为圣日, 在那日无论何工都不做;

17:25 then kings and officials who sit on the throne of David will enter through the gates of this city riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their officials, the people of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
那时就有坐大卫宝座的君王和首领, 他们与犹大人, 并耶路撒冷的居民, 或坐车, 或骑马, 进入这城的各门, 而且这城必存到永远.

17:26 And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the Shephelah, and from the hill country, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain offerings, and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
也必有人从犹大城邑和耶路撒冷四围的各处, 从便雅悯地,高原,山地, 并南地而来, 都带燔祭,平安祭,素祭, 和乳香, 并感谢祭, 到耶和华的殿去.

17:27 But if you do not listen to me, to declare holy the day of the Sabbath, and to not carry a burden and enter through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.” ’ ”
你们若不听从我, 不以安息日为圣日, 仍在安息日担担子, 进入耶路撒冷的各门, 我必在各门中点火; 这火也必烧毁耶路撒冷的宫殿, 不能熄灭. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 18

18:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

18:2 “Stand up and go down to the house of the potter, and there I will let you hear my words.”
“你起来, 下到窑匠的家里去, 我在那里要使你听我的话. ”

18:3 So I went down to the house of the potter and look, there he was doing work at the potter’s wheels.
我就下到窑匠的家里去, 正遇他转轮做器皿.

18:4 And the vessel that he was making with the clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter, so he made again another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
窑匠用泥做的器皿, 在他手中做坏了, 他又用这泥另做别的器皿; 窑匠看怎样好, 就怎样做.

18:5 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话就临到我说:

18:6 “Like this potter, am I not able to do to you, O house of Israel?” declares Yahweh. “Look, like the clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
耶和华说: “以色列家啊, 我待你们, 岂不能照这窑匠弄泥吗? 以色列家啊, 泥在窑匠的手中怎样, 你们在我的手中也怎样.

18:7 One moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to uproot, and to tear down, and to destroy it.
我何时论到一邦或一国说, 要拔出,拆毁,毁坏;

18:8 But if that nation turns back from its evil that I have threatened against it, then I will relent concerning the disaster that I planned to do to it.
我所说的那一邦, 若是转意离开他们的恶, 我就必后悔, 不将我想要施行的灾祸降与他们.

18:9 And the next moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant it.
我何时论到一邦或一国说, 要建立,栽植;

18:10 But if it does evil in my sight, to not listen to my voice, then I will relent concerning the good that I said I would do to it.
他们若行我眼中看为恶的事, 不听从我的话, 我就必后悔, 不将我所说的福气赐给他们.

18:11 “So now then, say, please, to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am preparing evil against you, and I am planning a plan against you. Please turn back, each one from his evil way, and walk rightly in your ways and your deeds.” ’
现在你要对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说: ‘耶和华如此说: 我造出灾祸攻击你们, 定意刑罚你们. 你们各人当回头离开所行的恶道, 改正你们的行动作为. ’

18:12 But they will say, ‘It is hopeless, for we will go after our own plans, and each one of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’
“他们却说: ‘这是枉然. 我们要照自己的计谋去行. ’各人随自己顽梗的恶心做事. ”

18:13 “Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘Please ask among the nations, “Who has heard the like of this?” The virgin of Israel has done something very horrible.
所以, 耶和华如此说: 你们且往各国访问, 有谁听见这样的事? 以色列民(原文是处女)行了一件极可憎恶的事.

18:14 Does the snow of Lebanon leave from the crags of Sirion? Or are the cold waters flowing from distant mountains dried up?
黎巴嫩的雪从田野的磐石上岂能断绝呢? 从远处流下的凉水岂能干涸呢?

18:15 But my people have forgotten me. They make smoke offerings to the idols, and they caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient ways, to go into bypaths, not one that is built up.
我的百姓竟忘记我, 向假神烧香, 使他们在所行的路上, 在古道上绊跌, 使他们行没有修筑的斜路,

18:16 To make their land a horror, an object of whistling for eternity. All who pass by it will be appalled, and he will shake his head.
以致他们的地令人惊骇, 常常嗤笑; 凡经过这地的必惊骇摇头.

18:17 Like the wind from the east I will scatter them before the enemy. I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster.’ ”
我必在仇敌面前分散他们, 好像用东风吹散一样. 遭难的日子, 我必以背向他们, 不以面向他们.

18:18 Then they said, “Come and let us plan plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will not be lost from the priest, nor advice from the wise man, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us bring charges against him, and let us not listen attentively to any of his words.”
他们就说: “来吧! 我们可以设计谋害耶利米; 因为我们有祭司讲律法, 智慧人设谋略, 先知说预言, 都不能断绝. 来吧! 我们可以用舌头击打他, 不要理会他的一切话. ”

18:19 Listen attentively to me, O Yahweh, and listen to the voice of my opponents.
耶和华啊, 求你理会我, 且听那些与我争竞之人的话.

18:20 Should good be repaid in place of evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember my standing before you to speak good for them, to avert your wrath from them.
岂可以恶报善呢? 他们竟挖坑要害我的性命! 求你记念我怎样站在你面前为他们代求, 要使你的忿怒向他们转消.

18:21 Therefore give their children to the famine, and hand them over to the power of the sword, and let their wives be bereaved and widows, and let their men be killed by death, their young men struck dead by the sword in the battle.
故此, 愿你将他们的儿女交与饥荒和刀剑; 愿他们的妻无子, 且作寡妇; 又愿他们的男人被死亡所灭, 他们的少年人在阵上被刀击杀.

18:22 Let a cry for help be heard from their houses when you suddenly bring upon them the raiding band, for they have dug a pit to catch me, and they have fixed secretly a trap for my feet.
你使敌军忽然临到他们的时候, 愿人听见哀声从他们的屋内发出; 因他们挖坑要捉拿我, 暗设网罗要绊我的脚.

18:23 But you, O Yahweh, you know all their plans of assassination against me. You must not make atonement for their iniquity, and you must not cause their sin to be blotted out from before you. But let them be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger.
耶和华啊, 他们要杀我的那一切计谋, 你都知道. 不要赦免他们的罪孽, 也不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪恶, 要叫他们在你面前跌倒; 愿你发怒的时候罚办他们.

Jeremiah - Chapter 19

19:1 Thus said Yahweh, “Go and buy a potter’s earthenware jar, and take some of the elders of the people, and some of the leaders of the priests,
耶和华如此说: “你去买窑匠的瓦瓶, 又带百姓中的长老和祭司中的长老,

19:2 and go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is at the entrance of the Gate of the Potsherd, and proclaim there the words that I speak to you.
出去到欣嫩子谷,哈珥西(就是瓦片的意思)的门口那里, 宣告我所吩咐你的话,

19:3 And you shall say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to bring disaster upon this place so that everyone who hears it, his ears will ring.
说: ‘犹大君王和耶路撒冷的居民哪, 当听耶和华的话. 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我必使灾祸临到这地方, 凡听见的人都必耳鸣;

19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and they have defaced this place, and they have made smoke offerings in it to other gods whom they have not known, they, nor their ancestors, nor the kings of Judah, and they have filled up this place with the blood of the innocent,
因为他们和他们列祖, 并犹大君王离弃我, 将这地方看为平常, 在这里向素不认识的别神烧香, 又使这地方满了无辜人的血,

19:5 and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their children in the fire, burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, and I ordered not, and it did not come to my mind.
又建筑巴力的邱坛, 好在火中焚烧自己的儿子, 作为燔祭献给巴力. 这不是我所吩咐的, 不是我所提说的, 也不是我心所起的意.

19:6 “Therefore look, days are about to come,” declares Yahweh, “when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of the Slaughter.
耶和华说: 因此, 日子将到, 这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷, 反倒称为杀戮谷.

19:7 And I will lay waste the plans of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will bring them to ruin by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life, and I will give their dead bodies as food to the birds of heaven and to the animals of the earth.
我必在这地方使犹大和耶路撒冷的计谋落空, 也必使他们在仇敌面前倒于刀下, 并寻索其命的人手下. 他们的尸首, 我必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物.

19:8 And I will make this city a horror, and an object of hissing, everyone who passes by it will be appalled, and will hiss because of all its wounds.
我必使这城令人惊骇嗤笑; 凡经过的人, 必因这城所遭的灾惊骇嗤笑.

19:9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each one will eat the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the distress which their enemies and those who seek their life inflict on them.” ’
我必使他们在围困窘迫之中, 就是仇敌和寻索其命的人窘迫他们的时候, 各人吃自己儿女的肉和朋友的肉. ’

19:10 “Then you shall break the jar before the eyes of the men who go with you.
“你要在同去的人眼前打碎那瓶,

19:11 And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “So I will break this people and this city as one breaks the vessel of the potter, so that it is not able to be repaired again. And in Topheth they will bury until there is no room to bury.
对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华如此说: 我要照样打碎这民和这城, 正如人打碎窑匠的瓦器, 以致不能再囫囵. 并且人要在陀斐特葬埋尸首, 甚至无处可葬.

19:12 Thus will I do to this place,” declares Yahweh, “and to its inhabitants, to make this city like Topheth.
耶和华说: 我必向这地方和其中的居民如此行, 使这城与陀斐特一样.

19:13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be unclean like the place of Topheth, all the houses where they made smoke offerings upon their roofs to all the host of heaven, and where they poured out libations to other gods.” ’ ”
耶路撒冷的房屋和犹大君王的宫殿是已经被玷污的, 就是他们在其上向天上的万象烧香,向别神浇奠祭的宫殿房屋, 都必与陀斐特一样. ’”

19:14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh and said to all the people,
耶利米从陀斐特─就是耶和华差他去说预言的地方─回来, 站在耶和华殿的院中, 对众人说:

19:15 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Look, I am about to bring to this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their neck to not hear my words.’ ”
“万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我必使我所说的一切灾祸临到这城和属城的一切城邑, 因为他们硬著颈项不听我的话. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 20

20:1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who was officer in charge in the temple of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
祭司音麦的儿子巴施户珥作耶和华殿的总管, 听见耶利米预言这些事,

20:2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the temple of Yahweh.
他就打先知耶利米, 用耶和华殿里便雅悯高门内的枷, 将他枷在那里.

20:3 And then on the next day, when Pashhur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh will not call your name Pashhur, but Terror From All Around.
次日, 巴施户珥将耶利米开枷释放. 于是耶利米对他说: “耶和华不是叫你的名为巴施户珥, 乃是叫你玛歌珥‧米撒毕(就是四面惊吓的意思),

20:4 For thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will be seeing it. And all Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will deport them to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
因耶和华如此说: ‘我必使你自觉惊吓, 你也必使众朋友惊吓; 他们必倒在仇敌的刀下, 你也必亲眼看见; 我必将犹大人全交在巴比伦王的手中, 他要将他们掳到巴比伦去, 也要用刀将他们杀戮.

20:5 And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious items, and all of the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, and they will seize them, and they will bring them to Babylon.
并且我要将这城中的一切货财和劳碌得来的, 并一切珍宝, 以及犹大君王所有的宝物, 都交在他们仇敌的手中; 仇敌要当作掠物带到巴比伦去.

20:6 And you, Pashhur, and all those who live in your house will go into captivity, and you will go to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends to whom you have prophesied falsely.’ ”
你这巴施户珥和一切住在你家中的人都必被掳去; 你和你的众朋友, 就是你向他们说假预言的, 都必到巴比伦去, 要死在那里, 葬在那里. ’”

20:7 You have persuaded me, O Yahweh, and I was persuaded. You have overpowered me, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long. Everyone is mocking me.
耶和华啊, 你曾劝导我, 我也听了你的劝导. 你比我有力量, 且胜了我. 我终日成为笑话, 人人都戏弄我.

20:8 For as often as I speak, I must cry out violence and destruction. I must shout, for the word of Yahweh has become for me a disgrace and derision all day long.
我每逢讲论的时候, 就发出哀声, 我喊叫说: 有强暴和毁灭! 因为耶和华的话终日成了我的凌辱,讥刺.

20:9 But if I say, “I will not mention him and I will no longer speak in his name,” then it becomes in my heart like a fire burning, locked up in my bones, and I struggle to contain it, and I am not able.
我若说: 我不再提耶和华, 也不再奉他的名讲论, 我便心里觉得似乎有烧着的火闭塞在我骨中, 我就含忍不住, 不能自禁.

20:10 For I hear the rumor of many, “Terror is from all around, denounce him, yes, let us denounce him!” All my close friends are watchers of my stumbling, saying, “perhaps he can be persuaded, and we can prevail over him, and we can take our revenge on him.”
我听见了许多人的谗谤, 四围都是惊吓; 就是我知己的朋友也都窥探我, 愿我跌倒, 说: 告他吧, 我们也要告他! 或者他被引诱, 我们就能胜他, 在他身上报仇.

20:11 But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior. Therefore my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. They will be very ashamed, for they will not achieve success. Their everlasting insult will not be forgotten.
然而, 耶和华与我同在, 好像甚可怕的勇士. 因此, 逼迫我的必都绊跌, 不能得胜; 他们必大大蒙羞, 就是受永不忘记的羞辱, 因为他们行事没有智慧.

20:12 Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have revealed my legal case.
试验义人,察看人肺腑心肠的万军之耶和华啊, 求你容我见你在他们身上报仇, 因我将我的案件向你禀明了.

20:13 Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
你们要向耶和华唱歌; 赞美耶和华! 因他救了穷人的性命脱离恶人的手.

20:14 Cursed be the day on which I was born, let not the day on which my mother gave birth to me be blessed.
愿我生的那日受咒诅; 愿我母亲产我的那日不蒙福!

20:15 Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, saying, “A child is born to you, a son!” and he made him very glad.
给我父亲报信说“你得了儿子”, 使我父亲甚欢喜的, 愿那人受咒诅.

20:16 And let that man be like the cities that Yahweh demolished without regret, and let him hear a cry for help in the morning, and an alarm at the time of noon.
愿那人像耶和华所倾覆而不后悔的城邑; 愿他早晨听见哀声, 晌午听见呐喊;

20:17 Because he did not kill me in the womb, so that my mother would have been for me my grave, and her womb would be pregnant forever.
因他在我未出胎的时候不杀我, 使我母亲成了我的坟墓, 胎就时常重大.

20:18 Why did I come out from the womb, to see toil, and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
我为何出胎见劳碌愁苦, 使我的年日因羞愧消灭呢?

Jeremiah - Chapter 21

21:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米. 那时, 西底家王打发玛基雅的儿子巴施户珥和玛西雅的儿子祭司西番雅去见耶利米, 说:

21:2 “Please inquire of Yahweh on behalf of us, for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon is fighting against us. Perhaps Yahweh will do with us according to all his miraculous acts, so that he may go up from against us.”
“请你为我们求问耶和华; 因为巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来攻击我们, 或者耶和华照他一切奇妙的作为待我们, 使巴比伦王离开我们上去. ”

21:3 Then Jeremiah said to them, “Thus you shall say to Zedekiah:
耶利米对他们说: “你们当对西底家这样说:

21:4 ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you are fighting against them, the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are laying siege to you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the center of this city.
‘耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我要使你们手中的兵器, 就是你们在城外与巴比伦王和围困你们的迦勒底人打仗的兵器翻转过来, 又要使这些都聚集在这城中.

21:5 And I myself will fight against you with outstretched hand, and with strong arm, and in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
并且我要在怒气,忿怒, 和大恼恨中, 用伸出来的手, 并大能的膀臂, 亲自攻击你们;

21:6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both humankind and animal; by a great plague they will die.
又要击打这城的居民, 连人带牲畜都必遭遇大瘟疫死亡.

21:7 And afterward,” declares Yahweh, “I will give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those who remain in this city from the plague, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their lives, and he will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not take pity on them, and he will not have compassion, nor will he show compassion.” ’
以后我要将犹大王西底家和他的臣仆百姓, 就是在城内, 从瘟疫,刀剑,饥荒中剩下的人, 都交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中和他们仇敌, 并寻索其命的人手中. 巴比伦王必用刀击杀他们, 不顾惜, 不可怜, 不怜悯. 这是耶和华说的. ’

21:8 “And to this people you shall say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.
“你要对这百姓说: ‘耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我将生命的路和死亡的路摆在你们面前.

21:9 He who stays in this city will die by the sword, or by the famine, or by the plague. And he who goes out and goes over to the Chaldeans who are laying siege to you will live, and his life will be to him as booty.
住在这城里的必遭刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫而死; 但出去归降围困你们迦勒底人的必得存活, 要以自己的命为掠物.

21:10 For I have set my face against this city for evil and not for good,” declares Yahweh. It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.” ’
耶和华说: 我向这城变脸, 降祸不降福; 这城必交在巴比伦王的手中, 他必用火焚烧. ’”

21:11 “And to the house of the king of Judah, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh,
“至于犹大王的家, 你们当听耶和华的话.

21:12 O house of David, thus says Yahweh, “Execute judgment in the morning, justice, and deliver the one who has been seized from the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath goes forth like the fire and it burns, and there is no one who quenches it because of the evil of your deeds.
大卫家啊, 耶和华如此说: 你们每早晨要施行公平, 拯救被抢夺的脱离欺压人的手, 恐怕我的忿怒因你们的恶行发作, 如火著起, 甚至无人能以熄灭.

21:13 Look, I am against you, O inhabitants of the valley, O rock of the plain,” declares Yahweh; “you who say, ‘Who can descend against us, or who can enter into our hiding place?’
耶和华说: 住山谷和平原磐石上的居民, 你们说: 谁能下来攻击我们? 谁能进入我们的住处呢? 看哪, 我与你们为敌.

21:14 And I will punish you according to the fruit of your deeds,” declares Yahweh, “And I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it will devour all its surroundings.” ’ ”
耶和华又说: 我必按你们做事的结果刑罚你们; 我也必使火在耶路撒冷的林中著起, 将她四围所有的尽行烧灭. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 22

22:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and you must speak this word there.
耶和华如此说: “你下到犹大王的宫中, 在那里说这话,

22:2 And you must say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter through these gates.
说: ‘坐大卫宝座的犹大王啊, 你和你的臣仆, 并进入城门的百姓, 都当听耶和华的话.

22:3 Thus says Yahweh, “Act with justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been seized from the hand of the oppressor. And you must not oppress the immigrant, the orphan, and the widow. And you must not shed innocent blood in this place.
耶和华如此说: 你们要施行公平和公义, 拯救被抢夺的脱离欺压人的手, 不可亏负寄居的和孤儿寡妇, 不可以强暴待他们, 在这地方也不可流无辜人的血.

22:4 And if you indeed obey this word, then kings who sit for David on his throne will enter through the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
你们若认真行这事, 就必有坐大卫宝座的君王和他的臣仆百姓, 或坐车或骑马, 从这城的各门进入.

22:5 But if you do not obey these words, I swear by myself,” declares Yahweh, “that this house will become a site of ruins.” ’ ”
你们若不听这些话, 耶和华说: 我指著自己起誓, 这城必变为荒场. ’

22:6 For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah, “You are like Gilead to me, like the head of the Lebanon. Surely I will make you a desert, like cities that are not inhabited.
耶和华论到犹大王的家如此说: 我看你如基列, 如黎巴嫩顶; 然而, 我必使你变为旷野, 为无人居住的城邑.

22:7 And I will consecrate against you destroyers, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choicest cedars, and cast them on the fire.
我要预备行毁灭的人, 各拿器械攻击你; 他们要砍下你佳美的香柏树, 扔在火中.

22:8 And many nations will pass by this city and they will say each one to his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done in this manner to this great city?’
“许多国的民要经过这城, 各人对邻舍说: ‘耶和华为何向这大城如此行呢? ’

22:9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, and bowed down in worship to other gods, and served them.’ ”
他们必回答说: ‘是因离弃了耶和华─他们神的约, 事奉敬拜别神. ’”

22:10 You must not weep for the dead person, and you must not show sympathy for him. Weep bitterly for the one who goes away, for he will not return, or see the land of his birth again.
不要为死人哭号; 不要为他悲伤, 却要为离家出外的人大大哭号; 因为他不得再回来, 也不得再见他的本国.

22:11 For thus says Yahweh concerning Shallum, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned as king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: “He will not return here again.
因为耶和华论到从这地方出去的犹大王约西亚的儿子沙龙(在列王下二十三章三十节名约哈斯), 就是接续他父亲约西亚作王的, 这样说: “他必不得再回到这里来,

22:12 But in the place where they have deported him, there he will die, and he will not see this land again.
却要死在被掳去的地方, 必不得再见这地. ”

22:13 Woe to the one who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without justice. His fellow countryman, he works for nothing, and he does not give to him his wages.
那行不义盖房,行不公造楼,白白使用人的手工不给工价的有祸了!

22:14 Who says ‘I will build for myself a spacious house with large upper rooms,’ and he cuts windows for it, and it is paneled with cedar, and he paints it with vermilion.
他说: 我要为自己盖广大的房,宽敞的楼, 为自己开窗户. 这楼房的护墙板是香柏木的, 楼房是丹色油漆的.

22:15 Do you reign as king because you are competing in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and he did justice and righteousness, then it was well with him?
难道你作王是在乎造香柏木楼房争胜吗? 你的父亲岂不是也吃也喝,也施行公平和公义吗? 那时他得了福乐.

22:16 He judged the legal cause of the needy and the poor, and then it was well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares Yahweh.
他为困苦和穷乏人伸冤, 那时就得了福乐. 认识我不在乎此吗? 这是耶和华说的.

22:17 “But there is nothing in your eyes and your heart except your unlawful gain, and on shedding the blood of the innocent, and on committing oppression and extortion.”
惟有你的眼和你的心专顾贪婪, 流无辜人的血, 行欺压和强暴.

22:18 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: “They will not lament for him, ‘Alas, my brother,’ or ‘Alas, sister.’ They will not lament for him, ‘Alas, lord,’ or ‘alas, his majesty.’
所以, 耶和华论到犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬如此说: 人必不为他举哀说: 哀哉! 我的哥哥; 或说: 哀哉! 我的姊姊; 也不为他举哀说: 哀哉! 我的主; 或说: 哀哉! 我主的荣华.

22:19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey. He will be dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
他被埋葬, 好像埋驴一样, 要拉出去扔在耶路撒冷的城门之外.

22:20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out, and in Bashan lift up your voice, and cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers are shattered.
你要上黎巴嫩哀号, 在巴珊扬声, 从亚巴琳哀号, 因为你所亲爱的都毁灭了.

22:21 I spoke to you in the times you were secure, and you said, ‘I will not listen!’ This was your way from your youth, for you have not obeyed my voice.
你兴盛的时候, 我对你说话; 你却说: 我不听. 你自幼年以来总是这样, 不听从我的话.

22:22 All your shepherds will shepherd the wind, and your lovers will go into captivity. Yes, then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
你的牧人要被风吞吃, 你所亲爱的必被掳去; 那时你必因你一切的恶抱愧蒙羞.

22:23 Inhabitants of Lebanon, nestled among the cedars, how you will groan when labor pains come to you, fear and pain as the woman who gives birth.
你这住黎巴嫩,在香柏树上搭窝的, 有痛苦临到你, 好像疼痛临到产难的妇人, 那时你何等可怜!

22:24 “As I live,” declares Yahweh, “surely if Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were the seal on my right hand, surely from there I would wrench you off.
耶和华说: “犹大王约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅(又名耶哥尼雅; 下同), 虽是我右手上带印的戒指, 我凭我的永生起誓, 也必将你从其上摘下来,

22:25 And I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those from whom you are frightened by their presence, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
并且我必将你交给寻索你命的人和你所惧怕的人手中, 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒和迦勒底人的手中.

22:26 And I will throw you and your mother who gave birth to you to another country where you were not born, and there you will die.
我也必将你和生你的母亲赶到别国, 并不是你们生的地方; 你们必死在那里,

22:27 As for the land to which they are longing to return, they will not return.
但心中甚想归回之地, 必不得归回. ”

22:28 Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered vessel? Or a vessel in which there is no delight? Why are he and his offspring thrown far, and cast away to the land that they do not know?”
哥尼雅这人是被轻看,破坏的器皿吗? 是无人喜爱的器皿吗? 他和他的后裔为何被赶到不认识之地呢?

22:29 O land, land, land, hear the word of Yahweh.
地啊, 地啊, 地啊, 当听耶和华的话!

22:30 Thus says Yahweh: “Record this man as childless, a man who will not succeed in his days, for no man from his offspring will succeed him, sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.”
耶和华如此说: 要写明这人算为无子, 是平生不得亨通的; 因为他后裔中再无一人得亨通, 能坐在大卫的宝座上治理犹大.

Jeremiah - Chapter 23

23:1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the flock of my pasture,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: “那些残害,赶散我草场之羊的牧人有祸了! ”

23:2 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people, “You yourselves have scattered my flock, and you have driven them away, and you do not attend to them. Look, I will punish you for the evil of your deeds,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华─以色列的神斥责那些牧养他百姓的牧人, 如此说: “你们赶散我的羊群, 并没有看顾他们; 我必讨你们这行恶的罪. 这是耶和华说的.

23:3 “Then I myself will gather together the remnant of my flock from all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their grazing place, and they will be fruitful, and they will become numerous.
我要将我羊群中所余剩的, 从我赶他们到的各国内招聚出来, 领他们归回本圈; 他们也必生养众多.

23:4 And I will raise up over them shepherds, and they will shepherd them, and they will no longer fear, and they will not be dismayed, and they will not be missing,” declares Yahweh.
我必设立照管他们的牧人, 牧养他们. 他们不再惧怕, 不再惊惶, 也不缺少一个; 这是耶和华说的. ”

23:5 “Look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when I will raise up for David a righteous branch, and he will reign as king, and he will achieve success, and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.
耶和华说: “日子将到, 我要给大卫兴起一个公义的苗裔; 他必掌王权, 行事有智慧, 在地上施行公平和公义.

23:6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell in safety, and this is his name by which he will be called: ‘Yahweh is our righteousness.’
在他的日子, 犹大必得救, 以色列也安然居住. 他的名必称为‘耶和华─我们的义’. ”

23:7 “Therefore look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when they will no longer say, ‘As Yahweh lives, who led up the Israelites from the land of Egypt,’
耶和华说: “日子将到, 人必不再指著那领以色列人从埃及地上来永生的耶和华起誓,

23:8 but ‘As Yahweh lives, who led up, and who brought the offspring of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where he had driven them.’ Then they will live in their land.”
却要指著那领以色列家的后裔从北方和赶他们到的各国中上来,永生的耶和华起誓. 他们必住在本地. ”

23:9 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken in my midst. All my bones tremble. I have become like a drunken man, even like a man over whom wine has passed, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.
论到那些先知, 我心在我里面忧伤, 我骨头都发颤; 因耶和华和他的圣言, 我像醉酒的人, 像被酒所胜的人.

23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for the land mourns because of a curse. The pastures of the desert are dry, and their evil has been their way of running, and their power is not right.
地满了行淫的人! 因妄自赌咒, 地就悲哀; 旷野的草场都枯干了. 他们所行的道乃是恶的; 他们的勇力使得不正.

23:11 “For both prophet as well as priest are godless, even in my temple I have found their wickedness,” declares Yahweh.
连先知带祭司都是亵渎的, 就是在我殿中我也看见他们的恶. 这是耶和华说的.

23:12 “Therefore their way will be to them like the slippery places, they will be pushed in the darkness, and they will fall into it, for I will bring disaster on them in the year of their punishment,” declares Yahweh.
因此, 他们的道路必像黑暗中的滑地, 他们必被追赶, 在这路中仆倒; 因为当追讨之年, 我必使灾祸临到他们. 这是耶和华说的.

23:13 “Now in the prophets of Samaria I saw a disgusting thing. They prophesied by Baal and they caused my people Israel to err.
我在撒马利亚的先知中曾见愚妄; 他们藉巴力说预言, 使我的百姓以色列走错了路.

23:14 And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible. They commit adultery, and they walk in lies, and they make strong the hands of evildoers, so that they have not turned back each from his wickedness. All of them have become to me like Sodom, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
我在耶路撒冷的先知中曾见可憎恶的事; 他们行奸淫, 做事虚妄, 又坚固恶人的手, 甚至无人回头离开他的恶. 他们在我面前都像所多玛; 耶路撒冷的居民都像蛾摩拉.

23:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets, “Look, I am going to let them eat wormwood and I will give them water of poison to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem went out ungodliness to all the land.”
所以万军之耶和华论到先知如此说: 我必将茵蔯给他们吃, 又将苦胆水给他们喝; 因为亵渎的事出于耶路撒冷的先知, 流行遍地.

23:16 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “You must not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you with visions of their mind, They do not speak from the mouth of Yahweh.
万军之耶和华如此说: “这些先知向你们说预言, 你们不要听他们的话. 他们以虚空教训你们, 所说的异象是出于自己的心, 不是出于耶和华的口.

23:17 They are continually saying to those who disregard the word of Yahweh, ‘Peace it will be to you,’ and to each one who walks in the stubbornness of his heart they say, ‘Calamity will not come upon you.’
他们常对藐视我的人说: ‘耶和华说: 你们必享平安’; 又对一切按自己顽梗之心而行的人说: ‘必没有灾祸临到你们. ’”

23:18 For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he has seen and heard his word? Who has listened attentively to his word and heard it?
有谁站在耶和华的会中得以听见并会悟他的话呢? 有谁留心听他的话呢?

23:19 Look, the storm of Yahweh has gone forth in wrath, even a whirling tempest. It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.
看哪! 耶和华的忿怒好像暴风, 已经发出; 是暴烈的旋风, 必转到恶人的头上.

23:20 The anger of Yahweh will not turn back until his doing and until his keeping the plans of his mind. In latter days you will look closely at it with understanding.
耶和华的怒气必不转消, 直到他心中所拟定的成就了. 末后的日子你们要全然明白.

23:21 I have not sent the prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
我没有打发那些先知, 他们竟自奔跑; 我没有对他们说话, 他们竟自预言.

23:22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, and they would have caused them to turn from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds.
他们若是站在我的会中, 就必使我的百姓听我的话, 又使他们回头离开恶道和他们所行的恶.

23:23 Am I a God from near,” declares Yahweh, “and not a God from far?
耶和华说: “我岂为近处的神呢? 不也为远处的神吗? ”

23:24 Or can a person hide himself in secret places and I cannot see him?” declares Yahweh. “Do I not fill up the heaven and the earth?” declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: “人岂能在隐密处藏身, 使我看不见他呢? ”耶和华说: “我岂不充满天地吗?

23:25 “I have heard what the prophets who prophesy lies have said in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!’
我已听见那些先知所说的, 就是托我名说的假预言, 他们说: ‘我做了梦! 我做了梦! ’

23:26 How long will this be in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceitfulness of their hearts,
说假预言的先知, 就是预言本心诡诈的先知, 他们这样存心要到几时呢?

23:27 who plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell each one to his neighbor, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal?
他们各人将所做的梦对邻舍述说, 想要使我的百姓忘记我的名, 正如他们列祖因巴力忘记我的名一样.

23:28 The prophet who has with him a dream, let him tell the dream. But the prophet who has my word with him, let him speak my word faithfully. What is straw compared to wheat?” declares Yahweh.
得梦的先知可以述说那梦; 得我话的人可以诚实讲说我的话. 糠秕怎能与麦子比较呢? 这是耶和华说的. ”

23:29 “Is not my word like fire?” declares Yahweh, “and like a blacksmith’s hammer that breaks a rock into pieces?
耶和华说: “我的话岂不像火, 又像能打碎磐石的大锤吗? ”

23:30 “Therefore look, I am against the prophets,” declares Yahweh, “who steal my words each one from his neighbor.
耶和华说: “那些先知各从邻舍偷窃我的言语, 因此我必与他们反对. ”

23:31 Look, I am against the prophets,” declares Yahweh, “who take their tongues and declare as prophets, ‘Yahweh declares.’
耶和华说: “那些先知用舌头, 说是耶和华说的; 我必与他们反对. ”

23:32 Look, I am against those who prophesy dreams of lies,” declares Yahweh, “and tell them, and they caused my people to err through their lies, and in their recklessness, when I myself have not sent them nor commanded them, so they profit not this people at all,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: “那些以幻梦为预言, 又述说这梦, 以谎言和矜夸使我百姓走错了路的, 我必与他们反对. 我没有打发他们, 也没有吩咐他们. 他们与这百姓毫无益处. 这是耶和华说的. ”

23:33 “Now when this people, or a prophet, or a priest, ask you, saying, ‘What is the burden of Yahweh?’ then you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden, and I will forsake you,’ ” declares Yahweh.
“无论是百姓, 是先知, 是祭司, 问你说: ‘耶和华有甚么默示呢? ’你就对他们说: ‘甚么默示啊? 耶和华说: 我要撇弃你们. ’

23:34 “And the prophet, and the priest, and the people who say, ‘The burden of Yahweh,’ I will punish that man and his house.
无论是先知, 是祭司, 是百姓, 说‘耶和华的默示’, 我必刑罚那人和他的家.

23:35 Thus you shall say, each one to his neighbor and each one to his brother: ‘What has Yahweh answered?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’
你们各人要对邻舍, 各人要对弟兄如此说: ‘耶和华回答甚么? ’‘耶和华说了甚么呢? ’

23:36 But you shall not mention the burden of Yahweh, for the burden is to each one his word, and so you twist the words of the living God, Yahweh of hosts, our God.
‘耶和华的默示’你们不可再提, 各人所说的话必作自己的重担(重担和默示原文同), 因为你们谬用永生神,万军之耶和华─我们神的言语.

23:37 Thus you shall say to that prophet, ‘What has Yahweh answered you?’ or, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’
你们要对先知如此说: ‘耶和华回答你甚么? ’‘耶和华说了甚么呢? ’

23:38 But if you say, ‘The burden of Yahweh,’ therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘because of your saying these words, “The burden of Yahweh,” then I will send to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The burden of Yahweh.’ ” ’
你们若说‘耶和华的默示’, 耶和华就如此说: ‘因你们说“耶和华的默示”这句话, 我也打发人到你们那里去, 告诉你们不可说“耶和华的默示”. ’

23:39 Therefore look, here I am, and I will surely lift you up and forsake you and the city that I gave to you and to your ancestors from my presence,
所以我必全然忘记你们, 将你们和我所赐给你们并你们列祖的城撇弃了;

23:40 and I will bring upon you an everlasting disgrace and an everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”
又必使永远的凌辱和长久的羞耻临到你们, 是不能忘记的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 24

24:1 Yahweh showed me, and look, there were two baskets of figs placed before the temple of Yahweh—after Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had deported Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with the officials of Judah, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅和犹大的首领, 并工匠,铁匠从耶路撒冷掳去, 带到巴比伦. 这事以后, 耶和华指给我看, 有两筐无花果放在耶和华的殿前.

24:2 The one basket had very good figs, like early figs, and the other basket had very bad figs that could not be eaten because of their bad quality.
一筐是极好的无花果, 好像是初熟的; 一筐是极坏的无花果, 坏得不可吃.

24:3 And Yahweh asked me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs—the good figs, very good, and the bad figs, very bad, that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality.”
于是耶和华问我说: “耶利米你看见甚么? ”我说: “我看见无花果, 好的极好, 坏的极坏, 坏得不可吃. ”

24:4 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

24:5 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles of Judah whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
“耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 被掳去的犹大人, 就是我打发离开这地到迦勒底人之地去的, 我必看顾他们如这好无花果, 使他们得好处.

24:6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. And I will build them and not annihilate them, and I will plant them and not uproot them.
我要眷顾他们, 使他们得好处, 领他们归回这地. 我也要建立他们, 必不拆毁; 栽植他们, 并不拔出.

24:7 And I will give to them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh, and they will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with the whole of their heart.
我要赐他们认识我的心, 知道我是耶和华. 他们要作我的子民, 我要作他们的神, 因为他们要一心归向我. ”

24:8 But like the bad figs that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality—for thus says Yahweh—so I will treat Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who live in the land of Egypt.
耶和华如此说: “我必将犹大王西底家和他的首领, 以及剩在这地耶路撒冷的余民, 并住在埃及地的犹大人都交出来, 好像那极坏,坏得不可吃的无花果.

24:9 And I will make them as a terror, an evil to all the kingdoms of the earth, as a disgrace and a proverb, as a taunt and a curse, in all the places where I will drive them.
我必使他们交出来, 在天下万国中抛来抛去, 遭遇灾祸; 在我赶逐他们到的各处成为凌辱,笑谈,讥刺,咒诅.

24:10 And I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the plague, until they perish from the land that I gave to them and their ancestors.’ ”
我必使刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫临到他们, 直到他们从我所赐给他们和他们列祖之地灭绝. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 25

25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的元年, 耶和华论犹大众民的话临到耶利米.

25:2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
先知耶利米就将这话对犹大众人和耶路撒冷的一切居民说:

25:3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even up to this day, these twenty-three years the word of Yahweh has come to me, and I have spoken to you over and over again, but you have not listened.
“从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚十三年直到今日, 这二十三年之内, 常有耶和华的话临到我; 我也对你们传说, 就是从早起来传说, 只是你们没有听从.

25:4 And though Yahweh has sent all his servants the prophets to you over and over again you have not listened, and you have not inclined your ear to hear,
耶和华也从早起来, 差遣他的仆人众先知到你们这里来(只是你们没有听从, 也没有侧耳而听),

25:5 saying, ‘Turn back please, each one from his evil way, and from the evil of your deeds, and live on the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your ancestors from a long time back and until forever,
说: ‘你们各人当回头, 离开恶道和所作的恶, 便可居住耶和华古时所赐给你们和你们列祖之地, 直到永远.

25:6 and you must not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow in worship to them, and you must not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, then I will not do something bad to you.’
不可随从别神事奉敬拜, 以你们手所做的惹我发怒; 这样, 我就不加害与你们.

25:7 ‘Yet you have not listened to me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘so that you have provoked me to anger with the work of your hands for your own harm.’
然而你们没有听从我, 竟以手所做的惹我发怒, 陷害自己. 这是耶和华说的. ’”

25:8 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘Because you have not obeyed my words,
所以万军之耶和华如此说: “因为你们没有听从我的话,

25:9 look, I am going to send and take all the clans of the north,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around, and I will destroy them, and I will make them a horror, and an object of hissing, and everlasting ruins.
我必召北方的众族和我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来攻击这地和这地的居民, 并四围一切的国民. 我要将他们尽行灭绝, 以致他们令人惊骇,嗤笑, 并且永久荒凉. 这是耶和华说的.

25:10 And I will exterminate from them the sound of jubilation, and the sound of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
我又要使欢喜和快乐的声音, 新郎和新妇的声音, 推磨的声音和灯的亮光, 从他们中间止息.

25:11 And all this land will become a site of ruins, a desolation, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
这全地必然荒凉, 令人惊骇. 这些国民要服事巴比伦王七十年.

25:12 And then when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,’ declares Yahweh, ‘for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it an everlasting waste.
七十年满了以后, 我必刑罚巴比伦王和那国民, 并迦勒底人之地, 因他们的罪孽使那地永远荒凉. 这是耶和华说的.

25:13 And I will bring upon that land all my words that I have spoken against it, everything that is written in this scroll which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations.
我也必使我向那地所说的话, 就是记在这书上的话, 是耶利米向这些国民说的预言, 都临到那地.

25:14 For many nations and great kings will let them work, even them, and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.’ ”
因为有多国和大君王必使迦勒底人作奴仆; 我也必照他们的行为, 按他们手所做的报应他们. ”

25:15 For thus said Yahweh, the God of Israel, to me, “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and you must give it to all the nations to whom I am sending you to drink.
耶和华─以色列的神对我如此说: “你从我手中接这杯忿怒的酒, 使我所差遣你去的各国的民喝.

25:16 And they will drink, and they will stagger, and they will act like madmen because of the presence of the sword that I am sending among them.”
他们喝了就要东倒西歪, 并要发狂, 因我使刀剑临到他们中间. ”

25:17 So I took the cup from the hand of Yahweh and I gave it to all the nations to whom Yahweh sent me to drink:
我就从耶和华的手中接了这杯, 给耶和华所差遣我去的各国的民喝,

25:18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, and its kings, and its officials, to make them a site of ruins, a horror, an object of hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
就是耶路撒冷和犹大的城邑, 并耶路撒冷的君王与首领, 使这城邑荒凉, 令人惊骇,嗤笑,咒诅, 正如今日一样.

25:19 Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, and all his people;
又有埃及王法老和他的臣仆,首领, 以及他的众民,

25:20 and all the other people; and all the kings of the land of Uz; and all the kings of the land of the Philistines—Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
并杂族的人民和乌斯地的诸王, 与非利士地的诸王(亚实基伦,迦萨,以革伦, 以及亚实突剩下的人);

25:21 Edom, and Moab, and the Ammonites;
以东,摩押,亚扪人,

25:22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastland that is across the sea;
泰尔的诸王,西顿的诸王,海岛的诸王,

25:23 and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all those who are trimmed to the side;
底但,提玛,布斯, 和一切剃周围头发的;

25:24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the other people who dwell in the desert;
阿拉伯的诸王,住旷野杂族人民的诸王,

25:25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;
心利的诸王,以拦的诸王,米底亚的诸王,

25:26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, each one to his brother, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach, he will drink after them.
北方远近的诸王, 以及天下地上的万国喝了, 以后示沙克(就是巴比伦)王也要喝.

25:27 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Drink and become drunk, and vomit, and fall, and you must not rise because of the presence of the sword that I am sending among you.” ’
“你要对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你们要喝, 且要喝醉, 要呕吐, 且要跌倒, 不得再起来, 都因我使刀剑临到你们中间. ’

25:28 And it will happen, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “You must certainly drink!
“他们若不肯从你手接这杯喝, 你就要对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华如此说: 你们一定要喝!

25:29 For look, on the city that is called by my name I am beginning to inflict harm, and you indeed, will you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares Yahweh of hosts.’
我既从称为我名下的城起首施行灾祸, 你们能尽免刑罚吗? 你们必不能免, 因为我要命刀剑临到地上一切的居民. 这是万军之耶和华说的. ’

25:30 And you yourself shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them: ‘Yahweh will roar from on high, and from his holy dwelling place he will give his voice. He will roar mightily against his settlement, a jubilant shout like those who tread grapes, he will answer against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“所以你要向他们预言这一切的话, 攻击他们, 说: 耶和华必从高天吼叫, 从圣所发声, 向自己的羊群大声吼叫; 他要向地上一切的居民呐喊, 像踹葡萄的一样.

25:31 The rage of battle will resound to the end of the earth, for there is a lawsuit of Yahweh against the nations. He is entering into judgment with all wicked flesh, he will give them to the sword,’ declares Yahweh.”
必有响声达到地极, 因为耶和华与列国相争; 凡有血气的, 他必审问; 至于恶人, 他必交给刀剑. 这是耶和华说的.

25:32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Look, disaster is going out from nation to nation, and a great tempest is stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
万军之耶和华如此说: 看哪, 必有灾祸从这国发到那国, 并有大暴风从地极刮起.

25:33 And the slain ones of Yahweh will be on that day from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, and they will not be mourned, and they will not be gathered, and they will not be buried. They will become like dung on the surface of the ground.
“到那日, 从地这边直到地那边都有耶和华所杀戮的. 必无人哀哭, 不得收殓, 不得葬埋, 必在地上成为粪土.

25:34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out. And roll about in mourning in the dust, O leaders of the flock. For your days of slaughter and your dispersions have arrived, and you will fall like a vessel of desire.
牧人哪, 你们当哀号, 呼喊; 群众的头目啊, 你们要滚在灰中; 因为你们被杀戮分散的日子足足来到. 你们要跌碎, 好像美器打碎一样.

25:35 And flight will perish from the shepherds, and escape from the leaders of the flock.
牧人无路逃跑; 群众的头目也无法逃脱.

25:36 A sound, the cry of distress of the shepherds and the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is despoiling their pasture.
听啊, 有牧人呼喊, 有群众头目哀号的声音, 因为耶和华使他们的草场变为荒场.

25:37 And the peaceful settlements are devastated because of the burning anger of Yahweh.
耶和华发出猛烈的怒气, 平安的羊圈就都寂静无声.

25:38 He has left his den like a lion, for their land has become a horror, because of the anger of the oppressors, and because of his burning anger.”
他离了隐密处像狮子一样, 他们的地, 因刀剑凶猛的欺压, 又因他猛烈的怒气都成为可惊骇的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 26

26:1 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh, saying,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬登基的时候, 有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说:

26:2 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Stand in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh, and you must speak to all the cities of Judah that come to bow in worship in the house of Yahweh all the words that I command you to speak to them. You must not omit a word.
“耶和华如此说: 你站在耶和华殿的院内, 对犹大众城邑的人, 就是到耶和华殿来礼拜的, 说我所吩咐你的一切话, 一字不可删减.

26:3 Perhaps they will listen and turn back each from his evil way, and I will relent of the disaster that I am planning to do to them because of their evil deeds.
或者他们肯听从, 各人回头离开恶道, 使我后悔不将我因他们所行的恶, 想要施行的灾祸降与他们.

26:4 And you shall say to them, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you,
你要对他们说, 耶和华如此说: ‘你们若不听从我, 不遵行我设立在你们面前的律法,

26:5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I have sent to you, over and over again, though you have not listened,
不听我从早起来差遣到你们那里去我仆人众先知的话(你们还是没有听从),

26:6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and this city I will make a curse for all the nations of the earth.’ ” ’ ”
我就必使这殿如示罗, 使这城为地上万国所咒诅的. ’”

26:7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the temple of Yahweh.
耶利米在耶和华殿中说的这些话, 祭司,先知与众民都听见了.

26:8 And then as Jeremiah finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying, “You will die!
耶利米说完了耶和华所吩咐他对众人说的一切话, 祭司,先知与众民都来抓住他, 说: “你必要死!

26:9 Why have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be in ruins, without inhabitant’?” And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the temple of Yahweh.
你为何托耶和华的名预言, 说这殿必如示罗, 这城必变为荒场无人居住呢? ”于是众民都在耶和华的殿中聚集到耶利米那里.

26:10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the house of the king to the temple of Yahweh, and they sat in the entrance of the New Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
犹大的首领听见这事, 就从王宫上到耶和华的殿, 坐在耶和华殿的新门口.

26:11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, saying, “This man deserves the death sentence, because he has prophesied against this city as that which you have heard with your ears.”
祭司,先知对首领和众民说: “这人是该死的; 因为他说预言攻击这城, 正如你们亲耳所听见的. ”

26:12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and to all the people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
耶利米就对众首领和众民说: “耶和华差遣我预言, 攻击这殿和这城, 说你们所听见的这一切话.

26:13 Now therefore amend your ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of Yahweh your God, and Yahweh will relent of the disaster that he has spoken over you.
现在要改正你们的行动作为, 听从耶和华─你们神的话, 他就必后悔, 不将所说的灾祸降与你们.

26:14 But as for me, look, I am in your hand, do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
至于我, 我在你们手中, 你们眼看何为善, 何为正, 就那样待我吧!

26:15 Only you must certainly know that if you put me to death, you will bring on yourselves innocent blood, and on this city and on its inhabitants, for truly Yahweh sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
但你们要确实地知道, 若把我治死, 就使无辜人的血归到你们和这城, 并其中的居民了; 因为耶和华实在差遣我到你们这里来, 将这一切话传与你们耳中. ”

26:16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, “This man does not deserve a sentence of death, for in the name of Yahweh our God, he has spoken to us.”
首领和众民就对祭司,先知说: “这人是不该死的, 因为他是奉耶和华─我们神的名向我们说话. ”

26:17 Then men from the elders of the land arose and said to all the assembly of the people, saying,
国中的长老就有几个人起来, 对聚会的众民说:

26:18 “Micah the Morashtite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and he said to all the people of Judah, saying: ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Zion will be plowed, and Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the temple as high places of wood.” ’
“当犹大王希西家的日子, 有摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众人预言说: 万军之耶和华如此说: 锡安必被耕种像一块田; 耶路撒冷必变为乱堆; 这殿的山必像丛林的高处.

26:19 Did Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and all Judah actually put him to death? Was he not in fear of Yahweh? And he entreated the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster that he had spoken against them. But we are about to do great disaster to ourselves.”
犹大王希西家和犹大众人岂是把他治死呢? 希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华,恳求他的恩吗? 耶和华就后悔, 不把自己所说的灾祸降与他们. 若治死这人, 我们就作了大恶, 自害己命. ”

26:20 Indeed, there also was a man prophesying in the name of Yahweh, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath-Jearim, and he prophesied against this city and against this land like all the words of Jeremiah.
(又有一个人奉耶和华的名说预言, 是基列‧耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚, 他照耶利米的一切话说预言, 攻击这城和这地.

26:21 And when King Jehoiakim, and all his warriors, and all the officials heard his words, then the king sought to put him to death. But Uriah heard, and he was afraid, and he fled and went to Egypt.
约雅敬王和他众勇士,众首领听见了乌利亚的话, 王就想要把他治死. 乌利亚听见就惧怕, 逃往埃及去了.

26:22 Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt. Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and men with him went to Egypt.
约雅敬王便打发亚革波的儿子以利拿单, 带领几个人往埃及去.

26:23 And they brought out Uriah from Egypt and they brought him to King Jehoiakim, and he struck him down with the sword, and he threw his dead body into the burial sites of the sons of the people.
他们就从埃及将乌利亚带出来, 送到约雅敬王那里; 王用刀杀了他, 把他的尸首抛在平民的坟地中. )

26:24 However, the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that he was not given into the hand of the people to put him to death.
然而, 沙番的儿子亚希甘保护耶利米, 不交在百姓的手中治死他.

Jeremiah - Chapter 27

27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying—
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬(约雅敬是西底家的别名, 看第三节)登基的时候, 有这话从耶和华临到耶利米说:

27:2 thus said Yahweh to me—“Make for yourself fetters and yokes and put them on your neck,
“耶和华对我如此说: 你做绳索与轭, 加在自己的颈项上,

27:3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon in the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.
藉那些来到耶路撒冷见犹大王西底家的使臣之手, 把绳索与轭送到以东王,摩押王,亚扪王,泰尔王,西顿王那里,

27:4 And you must command them for their masters, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, this you shall say to your masters:
且嘱咐使臣, 传与他们的主人说, 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说:

27:5 “I have made the earth with humankind and animals that are on the face of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I give it to whomever is right in my eyes.
我用大能和伸出来的膀臂, 创造大地和地上的人民,牲畜. 我看给谁相宜, 就把地给谁.

27:6 And now I myself have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and also the animals of the field I have given to him to serve him.
现在我将这些地都交给我仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手, 我也将田野的走兽给他使用.

27:7 And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his grandson, until the coming of the time of his own land. Then many nations and great kings will let him work.
列国都必服事他和他的儿孙, 直到他本国遭报的日期来到. 那时, 多国和大君王要使他作他们的奴仆.

27:8 “But it will be that the nation or kingdom that will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, and with the famine, and with the plague,” declares Yahweh, “until I have destroyed it with my hand.
“无论哪一邦哪一国, 不肯服事这巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒, 也不把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下, 我必用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫刑罚那邦, 直到我藉巴比伦王的手将他们毁灭. 这是耶和华说的.

27:9 And you, you must not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your interpreters of signs, and to your sorcerers who are saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
至于你们, 不可听从你们的先知和占卜的,圆梦的,观兆的, 以及行邪术的; 他们告诉你们说: ‘你们不致服事巴比伦王. ’

27:10 For they are prophesying to you a lie, so that you will be removed from your land, and I will drive you away, and you will perish.
他们向你们说假预言, 要叫你们迁移, 远离本地, 以致我将你们赶出去, 使你们灭亡.

27:11 But the nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and will serve him, yet will I leave it on its land,” declares Yahweh, “and they will till it, and they will live in it.” ’ ”
但哪一邦肯把颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下服事他, 我必使那邦仍在本地存留, 得以耕种居住. 这是耶和华说的. ”

27:12 And I spoke words like these to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
我就照这一切的话对犹大王西底家说: “要把你们的颈项放在巴比伦王的轭下, 服事他和他的百姓, 便得存活.

27:13 Why should you die—you and your people—by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
你和你的百姓为何要因刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫死亡, 正如耶和华论到不服事巴比伦王的那国说的话呢?

27:14 And you must not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying a lie to you.
不可听那些先知对你们所说的话; 他们说: ‘你们不致服事巴比伦王’, 其实他们向你们说假预言.

27:15 For I have not sent them,” declares Yahweh, “but they are prophesying in my name falsely, so that I will drive them away. And you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
耶和华说: ‘我并没有打发他们, 他们却托我的名说假预言, 好使我将你们和向你们说预言的那些先知赶出去, 一同灭亡. ’”

27:16 Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘You must not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, “Look, the vessels of the house of Yahweh are about to be quickly brought back from Babylon”, for they are prophesying a lie to you.
我又对祭司和这众民说: “耶和华如此说: 你们不可听那先知对你们所说的预言. 他们说: ‘耶和华殿中的器皿快要从巴比伦带回来’; 其实他们向你们说假预言.

27:17 And you must not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city become a site of ruins?
不可听从他们, 只管服事巴比伦王便得存活. 这城何致变为荒场呢?

27:18 But if they are prophets, and if there is with them the word of Yahweh, let them please plead with Yahweh of hosts, that the vessels that are left over in the temple of Yahweh, and the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, must not go to Babylon.’
他们若果是先知, 有耶和华的话临到他们, 让他们祈求万军之耶和华, 使那在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫内, 并耶路撒冷剩下的器皿, 不被带到巴比伦去.

27:19 For thus says Yahweh of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the stands, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
(因为万军之耶和华论到柱子,铜海,盆座, 并剩在这城里的器皿,

27:20 which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, did not take when he deported Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒掳掠犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅, 和犹大,耶路撒冷一切贵冑的时候所没有掠去的器皿. )

27:21 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Yahweh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
论到那在耶和华殿中和犹大王宫内, 并耶路撒冷剩下的器皿, 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说:

27:22 ‘They will be brought to Babylon, and there they will stay until the day of my attending to them,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ ”
必被带到巴比伦存在那里, 直到我眷顾以色列人的日子. 那时, 我必将这器皿带回来, 交还此地. 这是耶和华说的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 28

28:1 And it was in that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur, the prophet who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of Yahweh before the eyes of the priests and all the people, saying,
当年, 就是犹大王西底家登基第四年五月, 基遍人押朔的儿子, 先知哈拿尼雅, 在耶和华的殿中当着祭司和众民对我说:

28:2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我已经折断巴比伦王的轭.

28:3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the house of Yahweh which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took away from this place and brought to Babylon.
二年之内, 我要将巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从这地掠到巴比伦的器皿, 就是耶和华殿中的一切器皿都带回此地.

28:4 And Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, I will bring back to this place,’ declares Yahweh, ‘For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ”
我又要将犹大王约雅敬的儿子耶哥尼雅和被掳到巴比伦去的一切犹大人带回此地, 因为我要折断巴比伦王的轭. 这是耶和华说的. ”

28:5 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of Yahweh,
先知耶利米当着祭司和站在耶和华殿里的众民对先知哈拿尼雅说:

28:6 and Jeremiah the prophet said, “Amen! May Yahweh do so; may Yahweh fulfill your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all the exiles from Babylon to this place.
“阿们! 愿耶和华如此行, 愿耶和华成就你所预言的话, 将耶和华殿中的器皿和一切被掳去的人从巴比伦带回此地.

28:7 Nevertheless listen please to this word that I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people,
然而我向你和众民耳中所要说的话, 你应当听.

28:8 The prophets who were before me and before you from ancient times prophesied against many countries and against great kingdoms of war, and of disaster, and of plague.
从古以来, 在你我以前的先知, 向多国和大邦说预言, 论到争战,灾祸,瘟疫的事.

28:9 The prophet who prophesies peace, at the coming of the word of the prophet, will become known as the prophet that Yahweh has truly sent.”
先知预言的平安, 到话语成就的时候, 人便知道他真是耶和华所差来的. ”

28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
于是, 先知哈拿尼雅将先知耶利米颈项上的轭取下来, 折断了.

28:11 Then Hananiah said before the eyes of all the people, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘This is how I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, within two years, from the neck of all the nations.’ ” And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
哈拿尼雅又当着众民说: “耶和华如此说: 二年之内我必照样从列国人的颈项上折断巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的轭. ”于是先知耶利米就走了.

28:12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet broke the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
先知哈拿尼雅把先知耶利米颈项上的轭折断以后, 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

28:13 “Go, and you must say to Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have broken yoke bars of wood, but you have made in place of them yoke bars of iron.”
“你去告诉哈拿尼雅说, 耶和华如此说: 你折断木轭, 却换了铁轭!

28:14 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, to serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and they will serve him, and I have even given the animals of the open field to him.” ’ ”
因为万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我已将铁轭加在这些国的颈项上, 使他们服事巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒, 他们总要服事他; 我也把田野的走兽给了他. ”

28:15 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Please listen, Hananiah, Yahweh has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.
于是先知耶利米对先知哈拿尼雅说: “哈拿尼雅啊, 你应当听! 耶和华并没有差遣你, 你竟使这百姓倚靠谎言.

28:16 Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am going to send you from the face of the earth. This year you will die because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.’ ”
所以耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我要叫你去世, 你今年必死, 因为你向耶和华说了叛逆的话. ”

28:17 And Hananiah the prophet died in that same year in the seventh month.
这样, 先知哈拿尼雅当年七月间就死了.

Jeremiah - Chapter 29

29:1 And these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the exiles, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had deported from Jerusalem to Babylon,
先知耶利米从耶路撒冷寄信与被掳的祭司,先知, 和众民, 并生存的长老, 就是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去的.

29:2 after the going out of Jeconiah the king, and the queen mother, and the court officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, and the artisans, and the smiths from Jerusalem,
(这在耶哥尼雅王和太后,太监, 并犹大,耶路撒冷的首领, 以及工匠,铁匠都离了耶路撒冷以后. )

29:3 by the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah, the king of Judah, sent to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, to Babylon, saying,
他藉沙番的儿子以利亚萨和希勒家的儿子基玛利的手寄去. 他们二人是犹大王西底家打发往巴比伦去见尼布甲尼撒王的.

29:4 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have deported from Jerusalem to Babylon,
信上说: “万军之耶和华─以色列的神对一切被掳去的(就是我使他们从耶路撒冷被掳到巴比伦的人)如此说:

29:5 ‘Build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.
你们要盖造房屋, 住在其中; 栽种田园, 吃其中所产的;

29:6 Take wives and father sons and daughters, and take for your sons wives, and give your daughters to men that they may bear sons and daughters, and multiply there, and you must not be few.
娶妻生儿女, 为你们的儿子娶妻, 使你们的女儿嫁人, 生儿养女. 在那里生养众多, 不致减少.

29:7 And seek the prosperity of the city where I have deported you, and pray on behalf of it to Yahweh, for in its prosperity you will have prosperity.’
我所使你们被掳到的那城, 你们要为那城求平安, 为那城祷告耶和华; 因为那城得平安, 你们也随着得平安.

29:8 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your prophets who are in your midst, and your diviners, deceive you, and you must not listen to your dreams that you are causing them to dream.
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 不要被你们中间的先知和占卜的诱惑, 也不要听信自己所做的梦;

29:9 For they are prophesying falsely to you in my name; I have not sent them,’ declares Yahweh.
因为他们托我的名对你们说假预言, 我并没有差遣他们. 这是耶和华说的.

29:10 For thus says Yahweh, ‘As soon as the time has passed, seventy years for Babylon, I will attend to you, and I will fulfill my good word to you, to bring you back to this place.
“耶和华如此说: 为巴比伦所定的七十年满了以后, 我要眷顾你们, 向你们成就我的恩言, 使你们仍回此地.

29:11 For I know the plans that I am planning concerning you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘plans for prosperity and not for harm, to give to you a future and a hope.
耶和华说: 我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念, 不是降灾祸的意念, 要叫你们末后有指望.

29:12 Then when you call me, and you come and pray to me, then I will listen to you.
你们要呼求我, 祷告我, 我就应允你们.

29:13 When you search for me, then you will find me, if you seek me with all your heart.
你们寻求我, 若专心寻求我, 就必寻见.

29:14 And I will let myself be found by you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will restore your fortunes, and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places to which I have driven you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from which I deported you.’
耶和华说: 我必被你们寻见, 我也必使你们被掳的人归回, 将你们从各国中和我所赶你们到的各处招聚了来, 又将你们带回我使你们被掳掠离开的地方. 这是耶和华说的.

29:15 Because you have said, ‘Yahweh has raised up prophets for us in Babylon’—
“你们说: ‘耶和华在巴比伦为我们兴起先知’;

29:16 for thus says Yahweh concerning the king who sits on the throne of David and concerning all the people who live in this city, your fellow kinsmen who did not go with you into the exile—
所以耶和华论到坐大卫宝座的王和住在这城里的一切百姓, 就是未曾与你们一同被掳的弟兄,

29:17 thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘Look, I am going to send among them the sword, the famine, and the plague, and I will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten because of their bad quality.
万军之耶和华如此说: ‘看哪, 我必使刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫临到他们, 使他们像极坏的无花果, 坏得不可吃.

29:18 And I will pursue them with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague, and I will make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and a horror, and an object of hissing, and a disgrace among all the nations to which I have driven them,
我必用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫追赶他们, 使他们在天下万国抛来抛去, 在我所赶他们到的各国中, 令人咒诅,惊骇,嗤笑,羞辱.

29:19 because they did not listen to my words,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I sent to them my servants the prophets, sending over and over again, and they would not listen,’ declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: 这是因为他们没有听从我的话, 就是我从早起来差遣我仆人众先知去说的, 无奈他们不听. 这是耶和华说的.

29:20 And you, hear the word of Yahweh, all you exiles whom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
所以你们一切被掳去的, 就是我从耶路撒冷打发到巴比伦去的, 当听耶和华的话. ’”

29:21 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you in my name a lie, ‘Look, I am going to give them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will strike them before your eyes.
万军之耶和华─以色列的神论到哥赖雅的儿子亚哈, 并玛西雅的儿子西底家, 如此说: “他们是托我名向你们说假预言的, 我必将他们交在巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中; 他要在你们眼前杀害他们.

29:22 And a curse will be taken up because of them by all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, “May Yahweh make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,”
住巴比伦一切被掳的犹大人必藉这二人赌咒说: ‘愿耶和华使你像巴比伦王在火中烧的西底家和亚哈一样. ’

29:23 because they have done a disgraceful thing in Israel, and they have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and they have spoken words in my name, lies that I have not commanded them, and I am he who knows, and I am a witness,’ declares Yahweh.”
这二人是在以色列中行了丑事, 与邻舍的妻行淫, 又假托我名说我未曾吩咐他们的话. 知道的是我, 作见证的也是我. 这是耶和华说的. ”

29:24 And to Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall say, saying,
“论到尼希兰人示玛雅, 你当说,

29:25 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Because you yourself sent a letter in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你曾用自己的名寄信给耶路撒冷的众民和祭司玛西雅的儿子西番雅, 并众祭司, 说:

29:26 “Yahweh made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, so that there are overseers in the house of Yahweh over any mad man who exhibits the behavior of a prophet, and you must put him into the stocks and into the neck iron,
‘耶和华已经立你西番雅为祭司, 代替祭司耶何耶大, 使耶和华殿中有官长, 好将一切狂妄自称为先知的人用枷枷住, 用锁锁住.

29:27 and so then why have you not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite who exhibits the behavior of a prophet for you?
现在亚拿突人耶利米向你们自称为先知, 你们为何没有责备他呢?

29:28 Because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, ‘It will be a long time, build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.’ ” ’ ”
因为他寄信给我们在巴比伦的人说: 被掳的事必长久. 你们要盖造房屋, 住在其中; 栽种田园, 吃其中所产的. ’”

29:29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
祭司西番雅就把这信念给先知耶利米听.

29:30 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
于是耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

29:31 “Send to all the exiles, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah prophesied to you, though I have not sent him, and he has made you trust in a lie,”
“你当寄信给一切被掳的人说: ‘耶和华论到尼希兰人示玛雅说: 因为示玛雅向你们说预言, 我并没有差遣他, 他使你们倚靠谎言;

29:32 therefore thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am going to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. There will not be for him a man who lives in the midst of this people, and he will not see the good that I am going to do to my people,” declares Yahweh, “For he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh.” ’ ”
所以耶和华如此说: 我必刑罚尼希兰人示玛雅和他的后裔, 他必无一人存留住在这民中, 也不得见我所要赐与我百姓的福乐, 因为他向耶和华说了叛逆的话. 这是耶和华说的. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 30

30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

30:2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.
“耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你将我对你说过的一切话都写在书上.

30:3 For look, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Yahweh, ‘and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors and they will take possession of it.’ ”
耶和华说: 日子将到, 我要使我的百姓以色列和犹大被掳的人归回; 我也要使他们回到我所赐给他们列祖之地, 他们就得这地为业. 这是耶和华说的. ”

30:4 Now these are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话:

30:5 “For thus says Yahweh: ‘We have heard a sound of trembling, terror, and there is no peace.
耶和华如此说: 我们听见声音, 是战抖惧怕而不平安的声音.

30:6 Ask please and see whether a male can bear a child. Why do I see every strong man with his hands on his loins like a woman giving birth? And why are all their faces changed to paleness?
你们且访问看看, 男人有产难吗? 我怎么看见人人用手掐腰, 像产难的妇人, 脸面都变青了呢?

30:7 Alas! For that day is great, there is none like it. And it is a time of distress for Jacob, yet from it he will be delivered.
哀哉! 那日为大, 无日可比; 这是雅各遭难的时候, 但他必被救出来.

30:8 And it will happen on that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘I will break his yoke from your neck and your bonds I will tear to pieces. And strangers will no longer let him work as a slave.
万军之耶和华说: “到那日, 我必从你颈项上折断仇敌的轭, 扭开他的绳索; 外邦人不得再使你作他们的奴仆.

30:9 But they will serve Yahweh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
你们却要事奉耶和华─你们的神和我为你们所要兴起的王大卫. ”

30:10 But you must not fear, my servant Jacob,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and you must not be dismayed, Israel, for look, I am going to save you from far, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return, and he will be at rest, and he will be at ease, and there will be no one who makes him afraid.
故此, 耶和华说: 我的仆人雅各啊, 不要惧怕; 以色列啊, 不要惊惶; 因我要从远方拯救你, 从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔; 雅各必回来得享平靖安逸, 无人使他害怕.

30:11 For I am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you. For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations to which I scattered you, but you I will not make a complete destruction. And I will chastise you to the measure, and I will not leave you entirely unpunished.’
因我与你同在, 要拯救你, 也要将所赶散你到的那些国灭绝净尽, 却不将你灭绝净尽, 倒要从宽惩治你, 万不能不罚你(不罚你: 或译以你为无罪). 这是耶和华说的.

30:12 For thus says Yahweh, ‘Your injury is incurable, your wound is overcome by sickness.
耶和华如此说: 你的损伤无法医治; 你的伤痕极其重大.

30:13 There is no one who pleads your cause, for your boil there is no healing for you.
无人为你分诉, 使你的伤痕得以缠裹; 你没有医治的良药.

30:14 All your lovers have forgotten you, they do not care for you. I have struck you with the blow of an enemy, the punishment of the cruel, because of the greatness of your guilt, your sins are numerous.
你所亲爱的都忘记你, 不来探问(或译: 理会)你. 我因你的罪孽甚大, 罪恶众多, 曾用仇敌加的伤害伤害你, 用残忍者的惩治惩治你.

30:15 Why do you cry because of your wound? Your pain is incurable. Because of the greatness of your guilt—your sins are vast— I have done these things to you.
你为何因损伤哀号呢? 你的痛苦无法医治. 我因你的罪孽甚大, 罪恶众多, 曾将这些加在你身上.

30:16 Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured, and all your foes, all of them will go into captivity, and those who plunder you will be as plunder, and all those who plunder you I will make as plunder.
故此, 凡吞吃你的必被吞吃; 你的敌人个个都被掳去; 掳掠你的必成为掳物; 抢夺你的必成为掠物.

30:17 For I will present healing to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying, “It is Zion, there is no one who cares for her.” ’
耶和华说: 我必使你痊愈, 医好你的伤痕, 都因人称你为被赶散的, 说: 这是锡安, 无人来探问(或译: 理会)的!

30:18 Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob, and I will have compassion on his dwellings, and the city will be rebuilt upon its mound, and the citadel fortress will stand on its rightful site.
耶和华如此说: 我必使雅各被掳去的帐棚归回, 也必顾惜他的住处. 城必建造在原旧的山冈; 宫殿也照旧有人居住.

30:19 And thanksgiving and the sound of merrymakers will come out from them, and I will make them numerous, and they will not be few. And I will make them honored, and they will not be lowly.
必有感谢和欢乐的声音从其中发出, 我要使他们增多, 不致减少; 使他们尊荣, 不致卑微.

30:20 And their children will be as of old, and their community will be established before me. And I will punish all their oppressors.
他们的儿女要如往日; 他们的会众坚立在我面前; 凡欺压他们的, 我必刑罚他.

30:21 And their noble will be from them, and their ruler will come out from their midst. And I will bring him near and he will approach me. For who is he that would pledge his heart to approach me?’ declares Yahweh.
他们的君王必是属乎他们的; 掌权的必从他们中间而出. 我要使他就近我, 他也要亲近我; 不然, 谁有胆量亲近我呢? 这是耶和华说的.

30:22 ‘And you will be to me a people, and I will be to you God.’ ”
你们要作我的子民, 我要作你们的神.

30:23 Look, the storm of Yahweh! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest. It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.
看哪, 耶和华的忿怒好像暴风已经发出; 是扫灭的暴风, 必转到恶人的头上.

30:24 The burning anger of Yahweh will not turn back until his doing, and until his accomplishing the plans of his mind. In the last of the days you will understand it.
耶和华的烈怒必不转消, 直到他心中所拟定的成就了; 末后的日子你们要明白.

Jeremiah - Chapter 31

31:1 “At that time,” declares Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they will be to me a people.”
耶和华说: “那时, 我必作以色列各家的神; 他们必作我的子民. ”

31:2 Thus says Yahweh: “The people of the survivors of the sword found grace in the desert; Israel going to find their rest.”
耶和华如此说: 脱离刀剑的就是以色列人. 我使他享安息的时候, 他曾在旷野蒙恩.

31:3 From afar Yahweh appeared to me, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loyal love.
古时(或译: 从远方)耶和华向以色列(原文是我)显现, 说: 我以永远的爱爱你, 因此我以慈爱吸引你.

31:4 I will again build you, and you will be built, O virgin Israel. You will again adorn yourself with your tambourines, and you will go forth in the dancing in a ring of the merrymakers.
以色列的民(原文是处女)哪, 我要再建立你, 你就被建立; 你必再以击鼓为美, 与欢乐的人一同跳舞而出;

31:5 You will again plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will enjoy it.
又必在撒马利亚的山上栽种葡萄园, 栽种的人要享用所结的果子.

31:6 For there will be a day when watchmen will call in the hill country of Ephraim, ‘Stand up, and let us go up to Zion, to Yahweh our God.’ ”
日子必到, 以法莲山上守望的人必呼叫说: 起来吧! 我们可以上锡安, 到耶和华─我们的神那里去.

31:7 For thus says Yahweh, “Sing for joy for Jacob with gladness, and shout out for the head of the nations. Proclaim, praise, and say, ‘Save, O Yahweh, your people, the remnant of Israel.’
耶和华如此说: 你们当为雅各欢乐歌唱, 因万国中为首的欢呼. 当传扬颂赞说: 耶和华啊, 求你拯救你的百姓以色列所剩下的人.

31:8 Look, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and I will gather them from the remotest part of the earth. Among them the blind, and the lame, those who are pregnant, and those who give birth, together, a great assembly, they will return here.
我必将他们从北方领来, 从地极招聚; 同著他们来的有瞎子,瘸子,孕妇,产妇; 他们必成为大帮回到这里来.

31:9 With weeping they will come, and with pleas for mercy I will bring them; I will let them walk by streams of water in a straight path. They will not stumble in it, for I have become to Israel a father, and Ephraim, he is my firstborn.”
他们要哭泣而来. 我要照他们恳求的引导他们, 使他们在河水旁走正直的路, 在其上不致绊跌; 因为我是以色列的父, 以法莲是我的长子.

31:10 Hear the word of Yahweh, O nations, and declare in the coastlands from afar, and say, “The scatterer of Israel will gather him, and he will keep him as a shepherd his flock.
列国啊, 要听耶和华的话, 传扬在远处的海岛说: 赶散以色列的必招聚他, 又看守他, 好像牧人看守羊群.

31:11 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and he has redeemed him from the hand of the person stronger than he.
因耶和华救赎了雅各, 救赎他脱离比他更强之人的手.

31:12 And they will come, and they will sing for joy on the height of Zion, and they will be radiant over the goodness of Yahweh, over the grain, and over the wine, and over the olive oil, and over the young ones of the flock, and over the cattle. And their life will become like a well-watered garden, and they will never languish again.”
他们要来到锡安的高处歌唱, 又流归耶和华施恩之地, 就是有五谷,新酒, 和油, 并羊羔,牛犊之地. 他们的心必像浇灌的园子; 他们也不再有一点愁烦.

31:13 “Then the young woman will rejoice in the dancing in a ring, and the young men and the old men together. And I will turn their mourning to jubilation, and I will comfort them, and I will gladden them from their sorrow.
那时, 处女必欢乐跳舞; 年少的,年老的, 也必一同欢乐; 因为我要使他们的悲哀变为欢喜, 并要安慰他们, 使他们的愁烦转为快乐.

31:14 And I will saturate the appetite of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” declares Yahweh.
我必以肥油使祭司的心满足; 我的百姓也要因我的恩惠知足. 这是耶和华说的.

31:15 Thus says Yahweh, “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, the weeping of bitterness. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted because of her children, for they are no more.”
耶和华如此说: 在拉玛听见号咷痛哭的声音, 是拉结哭她儿女, 不肯受安慰, 因为他们都不在了.

31:16 Thus says Yahweh: “Restrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for there is a reward for your work,” declares Yahweh, “and they will return from the land of the enemy.
耶和华如此说: 你禁止声音不要哀哭, 禁止眼目不要流泪, 因你所做之工必有赏赐; 他们必从敌国归回. 这是耶和华说的.

31:17 And there is hope for your future,” declares Yahweh, “and your children will return to their territory.
耶和华说: 你末后必有指望; 你的儿女必回到自己的境界.

31:18 Indeed I heard Ephraim pitying themselves, ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like a calf that is not trained. Bring me back and let me return, for you are Yahweh my God.
我听见以法莲为自己悲叹说: 你责罚我, 我便受责罚, 像不惯负轭的牛犊一样. 求你使我回转, 我便回转, 因为你是耶和华─我的神.

31:19 For after my turning back I repented, and after coming to understand I struck my thigh. I was ashamed and also humiliated, because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
我回转以后就真正懊悔; 受教以后就拍腿叹息; 我因担当幼年的凌辱就抱愧蒙羞.

31:20 Is Ephraim my dear son, or the child of my delight? For as often as I have earnestly spoken against him, I still remember him. Therefore my bowels are turbulent for him, surely I will have compassion on him,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: 以法莲是我的爱子吗? 是可喜悦的孩子吗? 我每逢责备他, 仍深顾念他; 所以我的心肠恋慕他; 我必要怜悯他.

31:21 “Set up for yourself road markers, make for yourself signposts, set your mind to the main road, the road by which you went. Return, O virgin of Israel, return to these your cities.
以色列民(原文是处女)哪, 你当为自己设立指路碑, 竖起引路柱. 你要留心向大路, 就是你所去的原路; 你当回转, 回转到你这些城邑.

31:22 How long will you waver, O unfaithful daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing on the earth, a woman, she shelters a man.”
背道的民(原文是女子)哪, 你反来覆去要到几时呢? 耶和华在地上造了一件新事, 就是女子护卫男子.

31:23 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “They will again say these words in the land of Judah and in its towns at my restoring their fortunes, ‘Yahweh bless you, O settlement of righteousness, O hill of holiness.’
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我使被掳之人归回的时候, 他们在犹大地和其中的城邑必再这样说: “公义的居所啊, 圣山哪, 愿耶和华赐福给你.

31:24 And Judah and all of its towns together will live in it, farmers and those who travel with the flocks.
犹大和属犹大城邑的人, 农夫和放羊的人, 要一同住在其中.

31:25 For I will saturate the thirst of the weary, and every person who languishes I will replenish.”
疲乏的人, 我使他饱饫; 愁烦的人, 我使他知足. ”

31:26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
先知说: “我醒了, 觉著睡得香甜! ”

31:27 “Look, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of humankind, and with the seed of animals.
耶和华说: “日子将到, 我要把人的种和牲畜的种播种在以色列家和犹大家.

31:28 And then as I have watched over them to pull up, and to tear down, and to annihilate, and to destroy, and to do evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares Yahweh.
我先前怎样留意将他们拔出,拆毁,毁坏,倾覆,苦害, 也必照样留意将他们建立,栽植. 这是耶和华说的.

31:29 “In those days they will say no longer, ‘Parents have eaten unripe fruit, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
当那些日子, 人不再说: 父亲吃了酸葡萄, 儿子的牙酸倒了.

31:30 But each will die because of his iniquity, everyone who eats the unripe fruit, their teeth will be set on edge.
但各人必因自己的罪死亡; 凡吃酸葡萄的, 自己的牙必酸倒. ”

31:31 Look, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
耶和华说: “日子将到, 我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约,

31:32 not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day of my grasping them by their hand, bringing them out from the land of Egypt, my covenant that they themselves broke, though I myself was a master over them,” declares Yahweh.
不像我拉着他们祖宗的手, 领他们出埃及地的时候, 与他们所立的约. 我虽作他们的丈夫, 他们却背了我的约. 这是耶和华说的. ”

31:33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts and on their hearts I will write it, and I will be to them God, and they themselves will be to me people.
耶和华说: “那些日子以后, 我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样: 我要将我的律法放在他们里面, 写在他们心上. 我要作他们的神, 他们要作我的子民.

31:34 And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor, or each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh,’ for all of them will know me, from their smallest and up to their greatest,” declares Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.”
他们各人不再教导自己的邻舍和自己的弟兄说: ‘你该认识耶和华’, 因为他们从最小的到至大的都必认识我. 我要赦免他们的罪孽, 不再记念他们的罪恶. 这是耶和华说的. ”

31:35 Thus says Yahweh, who gives the sun for light by day, the regulations of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar—Yahweh of hosts is his name.
那使太阳白日发光, 使星月有定例, 黑夜发亮, 又搅动大海, 使海中波浪匉訇的, 万军之耶和华是他的名. 他如此说:

31:36 “If these rules would cease from before me,” declares Yahweh, “also the offspring of Israel would cease from being a nation before me forever.”
这些定例若能在我面前废掉, 以色列的后裔也就在我面前断绝, 永远不再成国. 这是耶和华说的.

31:37 Thus says Yahweh, “If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, also I will reject all the offspring of Israel because of all that they have done,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华如此说: 若能量度上天, 寻察下地的根基, 我就因以色列后裔一切所行的弃绝他们. 这是耶和华说的.

31:38 “Look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and the city will be rebuilt for Yahweh, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
耶和华说: “日子将到, 这城必为耶和华建造, 从哈楠业楼直到角门.

31:39 And the measuring line will still go out immediately in front of it to the hill of Gareb, and it will turn to Goah.
准绳要往外量出, 直到迦立山, 又转到歌亚.

31:40 And the whole of the valley of the corpses, and the ashes, and all the cultivated fields up to the wadi of Kidron, up to the corner of the Gate of the Horses toward the east will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be uprooted, and it will not be overthrown again forever.”
抛尸的全谷和倒灰之处, 并一切田地, 直到汲沦溪, 又直到东方马门的拐角, 都要归耶和华为圣, 不再拔出, 不再倾覆, 直到永远. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 32

32:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, that was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
犹大王西底家第十年, 就是尼布甲尼撒十八年, 耶和华的话临到耶利米.

32:2 Now at that time the army of the king of Babylon was laying siege to Jerusalem and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the courtyard of the guard that was in the palace of the king of Judah,
那时巴比伦王的军队围困耶路撒冷, 先知耶利米囚在护卫兵的院内, 在犹大王的宫中;

32:3 where Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it,
因为犹大王西底家已将他囚禁, 说: “你为甚么预言说, 耶和华如此说: ‘我必将这城交在巴比伦王的手中, 他必攻取这城.

32:4 and Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but surely he will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will speak face to face with him and he will see him eye to eye,
犹大王西底家必不能逃脱迦勒底人的手, 定要交在巴比伦王的手中, 要口对口彼此说话, 眼对眼彼此相看.

32:5 and to Babylon he will bring Zedekiah, and there he will be until my attending to him,” declares Yahweh. “If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not be successful” ’?”
巴比伦王必将西底家带到巴比伦; 西底家必住在那里, 直到我眷顾他的时候. 你们虽与迦勒底人争战, 却不顺利. 这是耶和华说的. ’”

32:6 And Jeremiah said, “The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶利米说: “耶和华的话临到我说:

32:7 ‘Look, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your uncle, is going to come to you, saying, “Buy for yourself my field that is at Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.” ’
‘你叔叔沙龙的儿子哈拿篾必来见你, 说: 我在亚拿突的那块地, 求你买来; 因你买这地是合乎赎回之理. ’”

32:8 Then Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the courtyard of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and he said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is at Anathoth, that is in the land of Benjamin, for to you is the claim of possession, and to you the redemption; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.
我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾果然照耶和华的话来到护卫兵的院内, 对我说: “我在便雅悯境内,亚拿突的那块地, 求你买来; 因你买来是合乎承受之理, 是你当赎的. 你为自己买来吧! ”我─耶利米就知道这是耶和华的话.

32:9 And I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle, that was at Anathoth. And I weighed out to him the money, seventeen silver shekels.
我便向我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾买了亚拿突的那块地, 平了十七舍客勒银子给他.

32:10 And I signed on the letter and sealed it, and I called witnesses as witness, and I weighed out the money on a set of scales.
我在契上画押, 将契封缄, 又请见证人来, 并用天平将银子平给他.

32:11 Then I took the deed of the purchase, the sealed copy containing the commandments and the rules, together with the one that was open.
我便将照例按规所立的买契, 就是封缄的那一张和敞着的那一张,

32:12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, in the presence of the Judeans who were sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
当着我叔叔的儿子哈拿篾和画押作见证的人, 并坐在护卫兵院内的一切犹大人眼前, 交给玛西雅的孙子尼利亚的儿子巴录.

32:13 And I commanded Baruch in their presence, saying,
当着他们众人眼前, 我嘱咐巴录说:

32:14 ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, the sealed one, and this opened deed, and you must put them in an earthenware jar so that they may be kept preserved many days.”
“万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 要将这封缄的和敞着的两张契放在瓦器里, 可以存留多日.

32:15 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Houses and fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.” ’
因为万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 将来在这地必有人再买房屋,田地, 和葡萄园. ”

32:16 And I prayed to Yahweh—after giving my deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah—saying,
我将买契交给尼利亚的儿子巴录以后, 便祷告耶和华说:

32:17 ‘Ah Lord Yahweh! Look, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you,
“主耶和华啊, 你曾用大能和伸出来的膀臂创造天地, 在你没有难成的事.

32:18 showing loyal love to the thousands, and repaying the guilt of parents into the laps of their children after them. Powerful, great, mighty, his name is Yahweh of hosts,
你施慈爱与千万人, 又将父亲的罪孽报应在他后世子孙的怀中, 是至大全能的神, 万军之耶和华是你的名.

32:19 great in counsel and great in deed, whose eyes are opened to all the ways of the children of humankind, to give to each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds,
谋事有大略, 行事有大能, 注目观看世人一切的举动, 为要照各人所行的和他做事的结果报应他.

32:20 who accomplished signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, up to this day, and in Israel, and among humankind, and you have made for yourself a name, as it is this day.
在埃及地显神蹟奇事, 直到今日在以色列和别人中间也是如此, 使自己得了名声, 正如今日一样.

32:21 And you brought out your people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an arm stretched out, and with great terror.
用神蹟奇事和大能的手, 并伸出来的膀臂与大可畏的事, 领你的百姓以色列出了埃及.

32:22 And you gave to them this land, which you swore to their ancestors to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
将这地赐给他们, 就是你向他们列祖起誓应许赐给他们流奶与蜜之地.

32:23 And they entered and took possession of it, but they did not listen to your voice, and they did not follow your law. They did nothing of all that you commanded to them to do, and you caused to happen to them all this disaster.
他们进入这地得了为业, 却不听从你的话, 也不遵行你的律法; 你一切所吩咐他们行的, 他们一无所行, 因此你使这一切的灾祸临到他们.

32:24 Look, the siege ramps have come up to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, the famine, and the plague, and what you spoke happened, and look, you are seeing it.
看哪, 敌人已经来到, 筑垒要攻取这城; 城也因刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫交在攻城的迦勒底人手中. 你所说的话都成就了, 你也看见了.

32:25 Yet you have said to me, Lord Yahweh, “Buy for yourself the field with the money, and call witnesses as witness,” though the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ ”
主耶和华啊, 你对我说: 要用银子为自己买那块地, 又请见证人. 其实这城已交在迦勒底人的手中了. ”

32:26 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

32:27 “Look, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for me?”
“我是耶和华, 是凡有血气者的神, 岂有我难成的事吗?

32:28 Therefore thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
耶和华如此说: 我必将这城交付迦勒底人的手和巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手, 他必攻取这城.

32:29 And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and they will burn it, and the houses where they have made smoke offerings on their roofs to Baal, and where they have devoted libations to other gods, in order to provoke me to anger.
攻城的迦勒底人必来放火焚烧这城和其中的房屋. 在这房屋上, 人曾向巴力烧香, 向别神浇奠, 惹我发怒.

32:30 For the people of Israel and the people of Judah were doing only evil in my eyes from their youth, for the people of Israel were only provoking me to anger by the work of their hands,” declares Yahweh.
以色列人和犹大人自从幼年以来, 专行我眼中看为恶的事; 以色列人尽以手所做的惹我发怒. 这是耶和华说的.

32:31 “For this city has been for me a cause of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even until this day, so I will remove it from my sight,
这城自从建造的那日直到今日, 常惹我的怒气和忿怒, 使我将这城从我面前除掉;

32:32 because of all the evil of the people of Israel and the people of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
是因以色列人和犹大人一切的邪恶, 就是他们和他们的君王,首领,祭司,先知, 并犹大的众人, 以及耶路撒冷的居民所行的, 惹我发怒.

32:33 And they have turned to me their backs and not their faces, though I have taught them over and over again, but they were not listening to accept discipline.
他们以背向我, 不以面向我; 我虽从早起来教训他们, 他们却不听从, 不受教训,

32:34 And they set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.
竟把可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中, 污秽了这殿.

32:35 And they built the high places of Baal that are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to present as offerings their sons and their daughters to Molech, which I had not commanded them, and it had not come to my mind to do this detestable thing in order to cause Judah to sin.”
他们在欣嫩子谷建筑巴力的邱坛, 好使自己的儿女经火归摩洛; 他们行这可憎的事, 使犹大陷在罪里, 这并不是我所吩咐的, 也不是我心所起的意. ”

32:36 “So now therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, ‘It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the plague’:
现在论到这城, 就是你们所说,已经因刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫交在巴比伦王手中的, 耶和华─以色列的神如此说:

32:37 Look, I am going to gather them from all the lands to which I driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath, and I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety.
“我在怒气,忿怒, 和大恼恨中, 将以色列人赶到各国. 日后我必从那里将他们招聚出来, 领他们回到此地, 使他们安然居住.

32:38 And they will be for me a people, and I will be for them God.
他们要作我的子民, 我要作他们的神.

32:39 And I will give to them one heart and one way, to revere me forever, for good to them, and to their children after them.
我要使他们彼此同心同道, 好叫他们永远敬畏我, 使他们和他们后世的子孙得福乐,

32:40 And I will make with them an everlasting covenant that I will not turn away from them, my doing good to them, and my reverence I will put in their hearts so that they will not turn aside from me.
又要与他们立永远的约, 必随着他们施恩, 并不离开他们, 且使他们有敬畏我的心, 不离开我.

32:41 And I will rejoice over them to do good to them, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness with all my heart, and with all my inner self.”
我必欢喜施恩与他们, 要尽心尽意,诚诚实实将他们栽于此地.

32:42 “For thus says Yahweh, ‘Just as I have brought to this people all this great disaster, so I will bring upon them all the good that I promise to them.
“因为耶和华如此说: 我怎样使这一切大祸临到这百姓, 我也要照样使我所应许他们的一切福乐都临到他们.

32:43 And the fields will be bought in this land of which you are saying, “It is a desolation, without humankind or animals. It has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
你们说, 这地是荒凉,无人民,无牲畜, 是交付迦勒底人手之地. 日后在这境内, 必有人置买田地.

32:44 They will buy fields with money, and they will sign the deeds, and they will seal them, and they will call witnesses as witness in the land of Benjamin, and in the surroundings of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negev, for I will restore their fortunes,’ declares Yahweh.”
在便雅悯地,耶路撒冷四围的各处,犹大的城邑,山地的城邑,高原的城邑, 并南地的城邑, 人必用银子买田地, 在契上画押, 将契封缄, 请出见证人, 因为我必使被掳的人归回. 这是耶和华说的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 33

33:1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time while he was still held back in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
耶利米还囚在护卫兵的院内, 耶和华的话第二次临到他说:

33:2 “Thus says Yahweh who made the earth, Yahweh who formed it to establish it, Yahweh is his name:
“成就的是耶和华, 造作,为要建立的也是耶和华; 耶和华是他的名. 他如此说:

33:3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great things and inaccessible things that you have not known.’
你求告我, 我就应允你, 并将你所不知道,又大又难的事指示你.

33:4 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that were torn down to make a defense against the siege ramps and against the sword:
论到这城中的房屋和犹大王的宫室, 就是拆毁为挡敌人高垒和刀剑的, 耶和华─以色列的神如此说:

33:5 ‘They are coming to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the corpses of the people whom I will strike in my anger and in my wrath, for whom I have hidden my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
人要与迦勒底人争战, 正是拿死尸充满这房屋, 就是我在怒气和忿怒中所杀的人, 因他们的一切恶, 我就掩面不顾这城.

33:6 Look, I am going to bring healing and health to it, and I will heal them, and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and reliability.
看哪, 我要使这城得以痊愈安舒, 使城中的人得医治, 又将丰盛的平安和诚实显明与他们.

33:7 And I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as in the beginning.
我也要使犹大被掳的和以色列被掳的归回, 并建立他们和起初一样.

33:8 And I will cleanse them from all their guilt that they sinned against me, and I will forgive all their iniquities that they sinned against me, and that they rebelled against me.
我要除净他们的一切罪, 就是向我所犯的罪; 又要赦免他们的一切罪, 就是干犯我,违背我的罪.

33:9 And it will be to me a name of jubilation, a praise, and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I will do for them, and they will fear, and they will tremble because of all the good, and because of all the prosperity that I will provide for it.’
这城要在地上万国人面前使我得颂赞, 得荣耀, 名为可喜可乐之城. 万国人因听见我向这城所赐的福乐,所施的恩惠平安, 就惧怕战兢. ”

33:10 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Again will be heard in this place, of which you are saying, “It is a waste, without people and without animals,” in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without people and without inhabitants and without animals,
耶和华如此说: “你们论这地方, 说是荒废无人民无牲畜之地, 但在这荒凉无人民无牲畜的犹大城邑和耶路撒冷的街上,

33:11 the voice of jubilation, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, “Praise Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, for his loyal love is forever,” the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of Yahweh, for I will restore the fortunes of the land as in the beginning,’ says Yahweh.
必再听见有欢喜和快乐的声音,新郎和新妇的声音, 并听见有人说: 要称谢万军之耶和华, 因耶和华本为善; 他的慈爱永远长存! 又有奉感谢祭到耶和华殿中之人的声音; 因为我必使这地被掳的人归回, 和起初一样. 这是耶和华说的. ”

33:12 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Again there will be in this waste place, without people and animals, and in all its towns, pasture for shepherds allowing their flock to lie down.
万军之耶和华如此说: “在这荒废无人民无牲畜之地, 并其中所有的城邑, 必再有牧人的住处; 他们要使羊群躺卧在那里.

33:13 In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the Shephelah, and in the towns of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the surroundings of Jerusalem, and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hands of the counter,’ says Yahweh.
在山地的城邑,高原的城邑,南地的城邑,便雅悯地,耶路撒冷四围的各处, 和犹大的城邑必再有羊群从数点的人手下经过. 这是耶和华说的. ”

33:14 ‘Look, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will fulfill the good promise that I promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
耶和华说: “日子将到, 我应许以色列家和犹大家的恩言必然成就.

33:15 In those days and in that time I will make a branch of righteousness sprout for David, and he will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
当那日子, 那时候, 我必使大卫公义的苗裔长起来; 他必在地上施行公平和公义.

33:16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely, and this is what they shall call it: “Yahweh is our righteousness.” ’
在那日子犹大必得救, 耶路撒冷必安然居住, 他的名必称为‘耶和华─我们的义’.

33:17 For thus says Yahweh: ‘A man who sits on the throne of the house of Israel will not be cut off for David.
“因为耶和华如此说: 大卫必永不断人坐在以色列家的宝座上;

33:18 And for the priests, a man from the Levites who offers burnt offerings and who burns grain offerings and who brings sacrifices will not be cut off before me forever.’ ”
祭司,利未人在我面前也不断人献燔祭,烧素祭, 时常办理献祭的事. ”

33:19 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

33:20 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘If you could break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, so that day and night would not come at their time,
“耶和华如此说: 你们若能废弃我所立白日黑夜的约, 使白日黑夜不按时轮转,

33:21 then my covenant could be broken with David my servant, from having a son who could rule on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers.
就能废弃我与我仆人大卫所立的约, 使他没有儿子在他的宝座上为王, 并能废弃我与事奉我的祭司,利未人所立的约.

33:22 As the host of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will make numerous the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’ ”
天上的万象不能数算, 海边的尘沙也不能斗量; 我必照样使我仆人大卫的后裔和事奉我的利未人多起来. ”

33:23 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

33:24 “Have you not seen how these people speak, saying, ‘The two clans whom Yahweh chose, he has also rejected them’? Thus they spurn my people from being a nation before them any longer.
“你没有揣摩这百姓的话吗? 他们说: ‘耶和华所拣选的二族, 他已经弃绝了. ’他们这样藐视我的百姓, 以为不再成国.

33:25 Thus says Yahweh: ‘If my covenant with day and with night, the regulations of heaven and earth, I had not established,
耶和华如此说: 若是我立白日黑夜的约不能存住, 若是我未曾安排天地的定例,

33:26 then the offspring of Jacob and David my servant I would reject, from choosing rulers from his offspring over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will restore their fortunes and I will have compassion on them.’ ”
我就弃绝雅各的后裔和我仆人大卫的后裔, 不使大卫的后裔治理亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各的后裔; 因为我必使他们被掳的人归回, 也必怜悯他们. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 34

34:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, with all the kingdoms of the earth under the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying,
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领他的全军和地上属他的各国各邦, 攻打耶路撒冷和属耶路撒冷所有的城邑. 那时, 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

34:2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘Go and say to Zedekiah the king of Judah, now you must say to him, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I am going to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
“耶和华─以色列的神说, 你去告诉犹大王西底家, 耶和华如此说: 我要将这城交付巴比伦王的手, 他必用火焚烧.

34:3 And you will not escape from his hand, but surely you will be captured, and into his hand you will be given, and you will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and you will speak face to face with him, and to Babylon you will go.’
你必不能逃脱他的手, 定被拿住, 交在他的手中. 你的眼要见巴比伦王的眼, 他要口对口和你说话, 你也必到巴比伦去.

34:4 However, hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah, the king of Judah. Thus says Yahweh concerning you: ‘You will not die by the sword.
犹大王西底家啊, 你还要听耶和华的话. 耶和华论到你如此说: 你必不被刀剑杀死,

34:5 In peace you will die, and as there was burning for your ancestors, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn for you, and they will lament for you, “Alas, lord!” For the word I have spoken,’ declares Yahweh.” ’ ”
你必平安而死, 人必为你焚烧物件, 好像为你列祖, 就是在你以前的先王焚烧一般. 人必为你举哀说: ‘哀哉! 我主啊. ’耶和华说: 这话是我说的. ”

34:6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem
于是, 先知耶利米在耶路撒冷将这一切话告诉犹大王西底家.

34:7 when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left over—Lachish and Azekah, for these remained among the cities of Judah, the cities of fortification.
那时, 巴比伦王的军队正攻打耶路撒冷, 又攻打犹大所剩下的城邑, 就是拉吉和亚西加. 原来犹大的坚固城只剩下这两座.

34:8 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after king Zedekiah made a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to proclaim release to them,
西底家王与耶路撒冷的众民立约, 要向他们宣告自由, 叫各人任他希伯来的仆人和婢女自由出去, 谁也不可使他的一个犹大弟兄作奴仆. (此后, 有耶和华的话临到耶利米. )

34:9 to let go each one his male slave and each one his female slave, the Hebrew and the free Hebrew, so that no one among the Judeans should enslave his fellow countryman.
a

34:10 And all the officials and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant to let go each one his male slave and each one his female slave, not enslaving them again, and they obeyed and they let them go.
所有立约的首领和众民就任他的仆人婢女自由出去, 谁也不再叫他们作奴仆. 大家都顺从, 将他们释放了;

34:11 But afterward they turned back and they brought back the male slaves and the female slaves whom they had let go free, and they subdued them as male slaves and female slaves.
后来却又反悔, 叫所任去自由的仆人婢女回来, 勉强他们仍为仆婢.

34:12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
因此耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

34:13 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: ‘I made a covenant with your ancestors on the day of my bringing them out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves, saying,
“耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我将你们的列祖从埃及地为奴之家领出来的时候, 与他们立约说:

34:14 “At the end of seven years you must let go each one his fellow countryman, the Hebrew who has been sold to you and who has served you six years, and you must let him go free from you.” But your ancestors did not listen to me, and they did not incline their ears.
‘你的一个希伯来弟兄若卖给你, 服事你六年, 到第七年你们各人就要任他自由出去. ’只是你们列祖不听从我, 也不侧耳而听.

34:15 And you turned back recently and you did right in my eyes, to proclaim release each one to his neighbor, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name.
如今你们回转, 行我眼中看为正的事, 各人向邻舍宣告自由, 并且在称为我名下的殿中,在我面前立约.

34:16 But you turned back and you profaned my name when you brought back each one his male slave and each one his female slave, whom you had let go free according to their desire, and you subdued them to be to you as male slaves and as female slaves.’
你们却又反悔, 亵渎我的名, 各人叫所任去随意自由的仆人婢女回来, 勉强他们仍为仆婢.

34:17 “Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘You have not listened to me to proclaim release each one to his fellow countryman and each one to his neighbor. Look, I am going to proclaim to you a release,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to the sword, to the plague, and to the famine, and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
所以耶和华如此说: 你们没有听从我, 各人向弟兄邻舍宣告自由. 看哪! 我向你们宣告一样自由, 就是使你们自由于刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫之下, 并且使你们在天下万国中抛来抛去. 这是耶和华说的.

34:18 And I will make the men who transgressed my covenant, who have not kept the words of the covenant that they made before me, like the calf which they cut in two and they passed between its parts—
犹大的首领,耶路撒冷的首领,太监,祭司, 和国中的众民曾将牛犊劈开, 分成两半, 从其中经过, 在我面前立约. 后来又违背我的约, 不遵行这约上的话.

34:19 the officials of Judah, and the officials of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf—
a

34:20 and I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of the seekers of their lives, and their dead bodies will become as food for the birds of the heavens and for the animals of the earth.
我必将他们交在仇敌和寻索其命的人手中; 他们的尸首必给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽作食物.

34:21 And Zedekiah the king of Judah and his officials I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of the seekers of their lives, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, who retreated from you.
并且我必将犹大王西底家和他的首领交在他们仇敌和寻索其命的人, 与那暂离你们而去巴比伦王军队的手中.

34:22 Look, I am going to command,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will bring them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and they will capture it, and they will burn it with fire, and the towns of Judah I will make a desolation without an inhabitant.’ ”
耶和华说: 我必吩咐他们回到这城, 攻打这城, 将城攻取, 用火焚烧. 我也要使犹大的城邑变为荒场, 无人居住. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 35

35:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
当犹大王约西亚之子约雅敬的时候, 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

35:2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them to the house of Yahweh into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.”
“你去见利甲族的人, 和他们说话, 领他们进入耶和华殿的一间屋子, 给他们酒喝. ”

35:3 So I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole of the house of the Rechabites,
我就将哈巴洗尼雅的孙子雅利米雅的儿子雅撒尼亚和他弟兄, 并他众子, 以及利甲全族的人,

35:4 and I brought them to the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was beside the chamber of the officials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
领到耶和华的殿, 进入神人伊基大利的儿子哈难众子的屋子. 那屋子在首领的屋子旁边, 在沙龙之子把门的玛西雅屋子以上.

35:5 Then I set before the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.”
于是我在利甲族人面前设摆盛满酒的碗和杯, 对他们说: “请你们喝酒. ”

35:6 But they answered, “We will not drink wine, for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our ancestor, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall not drink wine, you or your children, forever.
他们却说: “我们不喝酒; 因为我们先祖利甲的儿子约拿达曾吩咐我们说: ‘你们与你们的子孙永不可喝酒,

35:7 And you shall not build a house, and you shall not sow seed, and you shall not plant a vineyard, and it shall not be for you, but in tents you shall live all your days, so that you may live many days on the surface of the land where you are dwelling as aliens.’
也不可盖房,撒种,栽种葡萄园, 但一生的年日要住帐棚, 使你们的日子在寄居之地得以延长. ’

35:8 And we obeyed the voice of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our ancestor, in all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
凡我们先祖利甲的儿子约拿达所吩咐我们的话, 我们都听从了. 我们和我们的妻子儿女一生的年日都不喝酒,

35:9 and not to build houses for our living, and there is not vineyard, or field, or seed for us.
也不盖房居住, 也没有葡萄园,田地, 和种子,

35:10 But we have lived in tents, and we have obeyed, and we have done all that Jehonadab, our ancestor, commanded us.
但住帐棚, 听从我们先祖约拿达的话, 照他所吩咐我们的去行.

35:11 But then at the coming up against the land of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, then we said, ‘Come and let us go to Jerusalem before the army of the Chaldeans, and before the army of the Arameans.’ That is why we are living in Jerusalem.”
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上此地来, 我们因怕迦勒底的军队和亚兰的军队, 就说: ‘来吧, 我们到耶路撒冷去. ’这样, 我们才住在耶路撒冷. ”

35:12 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

35:13 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Go and say to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Can you not learn a lesson to listen to my words?” declares Yahweh.
“万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你去对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说, 耶和华说: 你们不受教训, 不听从我的话吗?

35:14 “The words of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, that he commanded his descendants to not drink, have been carried out, and they have not drunk until this day, for they have obeyed the command of their ancestor. But I have spoken to you over and over again, and you have not listened to me.
利甲的儿子约拿达所吩咐他子孙不可喝酒的话, 他们已经遵守, 直到今日也不喝酒, 因为他们听从先祖的吩咐. 我从早起来警戒你们, 你们却不听从我.

35:15 And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, I have sent them over and over again, saying, ‘Turn back please each one from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and you must not go after other gods to serve them, so that you may live on the land that I gave to you and to your ancestors.’ But you did not incline your ear and you did not listen to me.
我从早起来, 差遣我的仆人众先知去, 说: ‘你们各人当回头, 离开恶道, 改正行为, 不随从事奉别神, 就必住在我所赐给你们和你们列祖的地上. ’只是你们没有听从我, 也没有侧耳而听.

35:16 For the descendants of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have carried out the command of their ancestor that he commanded them, but this people did not listen to me.”
利甲的儿子约拿达的子孙能遵守先人所吩咐他们的命, 这百姓却没有听从我!

35:17 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, “Look, I am going to bring to Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem every disaster that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, and I have called to them and they have not answered.” ’ ”
因此, 耶和华─万军之神,以色列的神如此说: 我要使我所说的一切灾祸临到犹大人和耶路撒冷的一切居民. 因为我对他们说话, 他们没有听从; 我呼唤他们, 他们没有答应. ”

35:18 But to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have listened to the command of Jonadab your ancestor, and you have kept all his commands, and you have done all that he commanded you,’
耶利米对利甲族的人说: “万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 因你们听从你们先祖约拿达的吩咐, 谨守他的一切诫命, 照他所吩咐你们的去行,

35:19 therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘A man will not be cut off for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, to stand before me always.’ ”
所以万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 利甲的儿子约拿达必永不缺人侍立在我面前. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 36

36:1 And then in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

36:2 “Take for yourself a scroll and you must write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day that I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, and until this day.
“你取一书卷, 将我对你说攻击以色列和犹大, 并各国的一切话, 从我对你说话的那日, 就是从约西亚的日子起直到今日, 都写在其上.

36:3 Perhaps when the house of Judah hears all the disasters that I am planning to do to them, then they may turn back each one from his evil way, and I will forgive their guilt and their sin.”
或者犹大家听见我想要降与他们的一切灾祸, 各人就回头, 离开恶道, 我好赦免他们的罪孽和罪恶. ”

36:4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yahweh that he had spoken to him on a scroll.
所以, 耶利米召了尼利亚的儿子巴录来; 巴录就从耶利米口中, 将耶和华对耶利米所说的一切话写在书卷上.

36:5 And Jeremiah instructed Baruch, saying, “I am held back, I am not able to enter the temple of Yahweh.
耶利米吩咐巴录说: “我被拘管, 不能进耶和华的殿.

36:6 So you must go and you shall read aloud from the scroll that you have written from my mouth the words of Yahweh in the hearing of the people in the temple of Yahweh on a day of fast, and also you shall read aloud in the hearing of all those of Judah who came from their towns.
所以你要去趁禁食的日子, 在耶和华殿中将耶和华的话, 就是你从我口中所写在书卷上的话, 念给百姓和一切从犹大城邑出来的人听.

36:7 Perhaps their plea will fall before Yahweh and each one will turn away from his evil way, for great is the anger and wrath that Yahweh pronounced against this people.”
或者他们在耶和华面前恳求各人回头, 离开恶道, 因为耶和华向这百姓所说要发的怒气和忿怒是大的. ”

36:8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did all that Jeremiah the prophet instructed him, to read aloud from the scroll the words of Yahweh in the temple of Yahweh.
尼利亚的儿子巴录就照先知耶利米一切所吩咐的去行, 在耶和华的殿中从书上念耶和华的话.

36:9 And then in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第五年九月, 耶路撒冷的众民和那从犹大城邑来到耶路撒冷的众民, 在耶和华面前宣告禁食的日子,

36:10 Then Baruch read aloud from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the temple of Yahweh, in the chamber of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, the secretary, in the upper courtyard at the entrance of the New Gate of the temple of Yahweh in the hearing of all the people.
巴录就在耶和华殿的上院, 耶和华殿的新门口, 沙番的儿子文士基玛利雅的屋内, 念书上耶利米的话给众民听.

36:11 When Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh from the scroll,
沙番的孙子,基玛利雅的儿子米该亚听见书上耶和华的一切话,

36:12 he went down to the house of the king, to the chamber of the secretary, and look, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
他就下到王宫, 进入文士的屋子. 众首领, 就是文士以利沙玛,示玛雅的儿子第莱雅,亚革波的儿子以利拿单,沙番的儿子基玛利雅,哈拿尼雅的儿子西底家, 和其余的首领都坐在那里.

36:13 And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard at the reading aloud of Baruch from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
于是米该亚对他们述说他所听见的一切话, 就是巴录向百姓念那书的时候所听见的.

36:14 Then all the officials sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “The scroll that you read aloud from in the hearing of the people, take it in your hand and come.” And Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and he came to them.
众首领就打发古示的曾孙,示利米雅的孙子,尼探雅的儿子犹底到巴录那里, 对他说: “你将所念给百姓听的书卷拿在手中到我们这里来. ”尼利亚的儿子巴录就手拿书卷来到他们那里.

36:15 And they said to him, “Sit please and read it aloud in our hearing.” So Baruch read aloud in their hearing.
他们对他说: “请你坐下, 念给我们听. ”巴录就念给他们听.

36:16 And then, the moment of their hearing all the words, they turned to one another in alarm and they said to Baruch, “We must certainly report all these words to the king!”
他们听见这一切话就害怕, 面面相观, 对巴录说: “我们必须将这一切话告诉王. ”

36:17 Then they asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us please, how did you write all these words, from his mouth?”
他们问巴录说: “请你告诉我们, 你怎样从他口中写这一切话呢? ”

36:18 And Baruch said to them, “From his mouth. He dictated to me all these words and I was writing on the scroll with the ink.”
巴录回答说: “他用口向我说这一切话, 我就用笔墨写在书上. ”

36:19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah, and let not a man know where you are.”
众首领对巴录说: “你和耶利米要去藏起来, 不可叫人知道你们在哪里. ”

36:20 And they went to the king, to the courtyard, and they put the scroll for safe-keeping in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words in the hearing of the king.
众首领进院见王, 却先把书卷存在文士以利沙玛的屋内, 以后将这一切话说给王听.

36:21 Then the king sent Jehudi to take the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and Jehudi read it aloud in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the officials who stood next to the king.
王就打发犹底去拿这书卷来, 他便从文士以利沙玛的屋内取来, 念给王和王左右侍立的众首领听.

36:22 Now the king was sitting in the quarters of the winter in the ninth month, and a fire-pot was burning before him.
那时正是九月, 王坐在过冬的房屋里, 王的前面火盆中有烧着的火.

36:23 And then, as Jehudi read three or four columns, he would cut it up in pieces with the knife of the scribe, and he would throw it into the fire that was in the fire-pot until the whole of the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire-pot.
犹底念了三四篇(或译: 行), 王就用文士的刀将书卷割破, 扔在火盆中, 直到全卷在火中烧尽了.

36:24 And the king and any of his servants who heard all these words were not startled, and they did not tear their garments.
王和听见这一切话的臣仆都不惧怕, 也不撕裂衣服.

36:25 And even when Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
以利拿单和第莱雅, 并基玛利雅恳求王不要烧这书卷, 他却不听.

36:26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel, the son of the king, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but Yahweh hid them.
王就吩咐哈米勒的儿子(或译: 王的儿子)耶拉篾和亚斯列的儿子西莱雅, 并亚伯叠的儿子示利米雅, 去捉拿文士巴录和先知耶利米. 耶和华却将他们隐藏.

36:27 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after the king burned the scroll and the words that Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
王烧了书卷(其上有巴录从耶利米口中所写的话)以后, 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

36:28 “Take again for yourself another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.
“你再取一卷, 将犹大王约雅敬所烧第一卷上的一切话写在其上.

36:29 And concerning Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, you shall say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written in it, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and he will destroy this land, and he will cause to disappear from it humankind and animals”?’ ”
论到犹大王约雅敬你要说, 耶和华如此说: 你烧了书卷, 说: ‘你为甚么在其上写着, 说巴比伦王必要来毁灭这地, 使这地上绝了人民牲畜呢? ’

36:30 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, “There will not be for him one who sits on the throne of David. And his dead body will be thrown out to the heat in the day and to the frost in the night.
所以耶和华论到犹大王约雅敬说: 他后裔中必没有人坐在大卫的宝座上; 他的尸首必被抛弃, 白日受炎热, 黑夜受寒霜.

36:31 And I will punish him, and his offspring, and his servants for their guilt, and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah all the disaster with which I have threatened them, but they would not listen.” ’ ”
我必因他和他后裔, 并他臣仆的罪孽刑罚他们. 我要使我所说的一切灾祸临到他们和耶路撒冷的居民, 并犹大人; 只是他们不听. ”

36:32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah, the secretary, and he wrote on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned in the fire, and furthermore was added to them many words like these.
于是, 耶利米又取一书卷交给尼利亚的儿子文士巴录, 他就从耶利米的口中写了犹大王约雅敬所烧前卷上的一切话, 另外又添了许多相彷的话.

Jeremiah - Chapter 37

37:1 And king Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had made king, reigned as king in the land of Judah in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim.
约西亚的儿子西底家代替约雅敬的儿子哥尼雅为王, 是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒立在犹大地作王的.

37:2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
但西底家和他的臣仆, 并国中的百姓, 都不听从耶和华藉先知耶利米所说的话.

37:3 And king Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray for us to Yahweh our God.”
西底家王打发示利米雅的儿子犹甲和祭司玛西雅的儿子西番雅去见先知耶利米, 说: “求你为我们祷告耶和华─我们的神. ”

37:4 Now Jeremiah was coming and going out in the midst of the people and they had not put him in the house of imprisonment.
那时耶利米在民中出入, 因为他们还没有把他囚在监里.

37:5 And the army of Pharaoh had come out from Egypt, and the Chaldeans, who were laying siege to Jerusalem, heard their report and they withdrew from Jerusalem.
法老的军队已经从埃及出来, 那围困耶路撒冷的迦勒底人听见他们的风声, 就拔营离开耶路撒冷去了.

37:6 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
耶和华的话临到先知耶利米说:

37:7 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘This is what you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me, “Look, the army of Pharaoh, which set out to help you, is going to return to his land Egypt.
“耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 犹大王打发你们来求问我, 你们要如此对他说: ‘那出来帮助你们法老的军队必回埃及本国去.

37:8 And the Chaldeans will return, and they will fight against this city, and they will capture it, and they will burn it with fire.” ’
迦勒底人必再来攻打这城, 并要攻取, 用火焚烧.

37:9 Thus says Yahweh: ‘You must not deceive yourselves, saying, “Surely the Chaldeans will go from us,” for they will not go.
耶和华如此说: 你们不要自欺说“迦勒底人必定离开我们”, 因为他们必不离开.

37:10 For even if you struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and only men pierced through remained among them, each one in his tent, they would rise up and they would burn this city with fire.’ ”
你们即便杀败了与你们争战的迦勒底全军, 但剩下受伤的人也必各人从帐棚里起来, 用火焚烧这城. ’”

37:11 And then, at the withdrawing of the army of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem before the army of Pharaoh,
迦勒底的军队因怕法老的军队, 拔营离开耶路撒冷的时候,

37:12 Jeremiah set out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to receive a portion from there in the midst of the people.
耶利米就杂在民中出离耶路撒冷, 要往便雅悯地去, 在那里得自己的地业.

37:13 And when he was at the Gate of Benjamin, there was a sentry on duty whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
他到了便雅悯门那里, 有守门官名叫伊利雅, 是哈拿尼亚的孙子,示利米雅的儿子, 他就拿住先知耶利米, 说: “你是投降迦勒底人哪! ”

37:14 And Jeremiah said, “That is a lie! I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But he would not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.
耶利米说: “你这是谎话, 我并不是投降迦勒底人. ”伊利雅不听他的话, 就拿住他, 解到首领那里.

37:15 And the officials were angry at Jeremiah and they struck him. And they put him in prison, in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for they had converted it to the prison.
首领恼怒耶利米, 就打了他, 将他囚在文士约拿单的房屋中, 因为他们以这房屋当作监牢.

37:16 So Jeremiah came to the dungeon, even to the vaulted cells, and Jeremiah stayed there many days.
耶利米来到狱中, 进入牢房, 在那里囚了多日.

37:17 Then King Zedekiah sent and fetched him. And the king questioned him in secrecy in his house, and he said, “Is there a word from Yahweh?” And Jeremiah said, “There is.” And he said, “You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
西底家王打发人提出他来, 在自己的宫内私下问他说: “从耶和华有甚么话临到没有? ”耶利米说: “有! ”又说: “你必交在巴比伦王手中. ”

37:18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What did I do wrong to you, or to your servants, or to this people, that you have put me in prison?
耶利米又对西底家王说: “我在甚么事上得罪你, 或你的臣仆, 或这百姓, 你竟将我囚在监里呢?

37:19 And where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land’?
对你们预言巴比伦王必不来攻击你们和这地的先知, 现今在哪里呢?

37:20 Now then, my lord the king, please let my plea fall before you. You must not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, so that I will not die there.”
主─我的王啊, 求你现在垂听, 准我在你面前的恳求: 不要使我回到文士约拿单的房屋中, 免得我死在那里. ”

37:21 So King Zedekiah commanded, and they handed Jeremiah over in the courtyard of the guard, and they gave to him a round loaf of bread from the street of the bakers every day until the finishing of all the bread from the city. And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
于是, 西底家王下令, 他们就把耶利米交在护卫兵的院中, 每天从饼舖街取一个饼给他, 直到城中的饼用尽了. 这样, 耶利米仍在护卫兵的院中.

Jeremiah - Chapter 38

38:1 Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah heard the words that Jeremiah was saying to all the people, saying,
玛坦的儿子示法提雅,巴施户珥的儿子基大利,示利米雅的儿子犹甲,玛基雅的儿子巴施户珥听见耶利米对众人所说的话, 说:

38:2 “Thus says Yahweh, ‘The one who stays in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague. But the one who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. And his life will be for him as booty, and he will live.’
“耶和华如此说: 住在这城里的必遭刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫而死; 但出去归降迦勒底人的必得存活, 就是以自己命为掠物的, 必得存活.

38:3 Thus says Yahweh, ‘Surely this city will be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.’ ”
耶和华如此说: 这城必要交在巴比伦王军队的手中, 他必攻取这城. ”

38:4 Then the officials said to the king, “Please, this man must be killed, because he is making slack the hands of the soldiers who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them words like these, for this man is not seeking for welfare to this people, but only for harm.”
于是首领对王说: “求你将这人治死; 因他向城里剩下的兵丁和众民说这样的话, 使他们的手发软. 这人不是求这百姓得平安, 乃是叫他们受灾祸. ”

38:5 And Zedekiah the king said, “Look, he is in your hand, for the king is not able to do a thing against you.”
西底家王说: “他在你们手中, 无论何事, 王也不能与你们反对. ”

38:6 So they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchiah, the son of the king, which was in the courtyard of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down by ropes. Now in the pit there was no water, but only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.
他们就拿住耶利米, 下在哈米勒的儿子(或译: 王的儿子)玛基雅的牢狱里; 那牢狱在护卫兵的院中. 他们用绳子将耶利米系下去. 牢狱里没有水, 只有淤泥, 耶利米就陷在淤泥中.

38:7 When Ebed-melech the Cushite, a eunuch who was in the house of the king, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the pit—now the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin—
在王宫的太监古实人以伯‧米勒, 听见他们将耶利米下了牢狱(那时王坐在便雅悯门口),

38:8 Ebed-melech went out from the house of the king and spoke to the king, saying,
以伯‧米勒就从王宫里出来, 对王说:

38:9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, in that they have thrown him into the pit, and he will die there because of starvation, for there is no longer any bread in the city.”
“主─我的王啊, 这些人向先知耶利米一味地行恶, 将他下在牢狱中; 他在那里必因饥饿而死, 因为城中再没有粮食. ”

38:10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you these thirty men and pull Jeremiah the prophet up from the pit before he dies.”
王就吩咐古实人以伯‧米勒说: “你从这里带领三十人, 趁著先知耶利米未死以前, 将他从牢狱中提上来. ”

38:11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the palace of the king, to a place beneath the storehouse, and he took from there rags and worn-out clothes. And he let them down into the pit by ropes to Jeremiah.
于是以伯‧米勒带领这些人同去, 进入王宫, 到库房以下, 从那里取了些碎布和破烂的衣服, 用绳子缒下牢狱去到耶利米那里.

38:12 Then Ebed-melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, “Please put the rags and worn-out clothes under the joints of your arms under the ropes,” and Jeremiah did so.
古实人以伯‧米勒对耶利米说: “你用这些碎布和破烂的衣服放在绳子上, 垫你的胳肢窝. ”耶利米就照样行了.

38:13 And they pulled Jeremiah by the ropes and brought him up from the pit. And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
这样, 他们用绳子将耶利米从牢狱里拉上来. 耶利米仍在护卫兵的院中.

38:14 And Zedekiah the king sent and made someone bring Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that was at the temple of Yahweh. And the king said to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, you must not hide anything from me.”
西底家王打发人带领先知耶利米, 进耶和华殿中第三门里见王. 王就对耶利米说: “我要问你一件事, 你丝毫不可向我隐瞒. ”

38:15 And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I tell you, will you not surely kill me? Besides, if I advise you, you will not listen to me.
耶利米对西底家说: “我若告诉你, 你岂不定要杀我吗? 我若劝戒你, 你必不听从我. ”

38:16 So Zedekiah the king swore to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “As Yahweh lives, who has made for us this life, I will not kill you and I will not give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your life.”
西底家王就私下向耶利米说: “我指著那造我们生命之永生的耶和华起誓: 我必不杀你, 也不将你交在寻索你命的人手中. ”

38:17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘If only you will go surrender to the officials of the king of Babylon, then you will live, and this city will not be burned with fire, and you will live, you and your house.
耶利米对西底家说: “耶和华─万军之神,以色列的神如此说: 你若出去归降巴比伦王的首领, 你的命就必存活, 这城也不致被火焚烧, 你和你的全家都必存活.

38:18 But if you do not go surrender to the officials of the king of Babylon, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you will not escape from their hand.’ ”
你若不出去归降巴比伦王的首领, 这城必交在迦勒底人手中. 他们必用火焚烧, 你也不得脱离他们的手. ”

38:19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Judeans who have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand and they abuse me.”
西底家王对耶利米说: “我怕那些投降迦勒底人的犹大人, 恐怕迦勒底人将我交在他们手中, 他们戏弄我. ”

38:20 And Jeremiah said, “They will not give you over. Please obey the voice of Yahweh with regard to what I am saying to you, and it will go well with you, and you will live.
耶利米说: “迦勒底人必不将你交出. 求你听从我对你所说耶和华的话, 这样你必得好处, 你的命也必存活.

38:21 But if you are refusing to surrender, this is the thing that Yahweh has shown me.
你若不肯出去, 耶和华指示我的话乃是这样:

38:22 Now look, all the women who remain in the house of the king of Judah are being led out to the officials of the king of Babylon. And look, they are saying, ‘Your trusted friends have misled you, and they have prevailed against you. Your feet are stuck in the mud, so they turned backward.’
犹大王宫里所剩的妇女必都带到巴比伦王的首领那里. 这些妇女必说: 你知己的朋友催逼你, 胜过你; 见你的脚陷入淤泥中, 就转身退后了.

38:23 And all your wives and your children will be led out to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape from their hand, but by the hand of the king of Babylon you will be seized, and this city will burn with fire.”
“人必将你的后妃和你的儿女带到迦勒底人那里; 你也不得脱离他们的手, 必被巴比伦王的手捉住; 你也必使这城被火焚烧. ”

38:24 And Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “No man must know about these words so that you will not die.
西底家对耶利米说: “不要使人知道这些话, 你就不至于死.

38:25 And if the officials hear that I have spoken with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Please tell us what you said to the king. You must not conceal it from us so that we will not kill you. And what did the king say to you?’
首领若听见了我与你说话, 就来见你, 问你说: ‘你对王说甚么话不要向我们隐瞒, 我们就不杀你. 王向你说甚么话也要告诉我们. ’

38:26 Then you shall say to them, ‘I was presenting my plea before the king, to not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan to die there.’ ”
你就对他们说: ‘我在王面前恳求不要叫我回到约拿单的房屋死在那里. ’”

38:27 And all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, and he informed them like all these words that the king commanded. So they fell silent, for the conversation was not heard.
随后众首领来见耶利米, 问他, 他就照王所吩咐的一切话回答他们. 他们不再与他说话, 因为事情没有泄漏.

38:28 And Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And it happened that Jerusalem was captured.
于是耶利米仍在护卫兵的院中, 直到耶路撒冷被攻取的日子.

Jeremiah - Chapter 39

39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and laid siege to it.
犹大王西底家第九年十月, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来围困耶路撒冷.

39:2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was taken by assault.
西底家十一年四月初九日, 城被攻破.

39:3 And all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim the chief officer, Nergal-sharezer the high official, with all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.
耶路撒冷被攻取的时候, 巴比伦王的首领尼甲‧沙利薛,三甲‧尼波,撒西金─拉撒力,尼甲‧沙利薛─拉墨, 并巴比伦王其余的一切首领都来坐在中门.

39:4 And then when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the soldiers with him, they fled and went out at night from the city by the way of the garden of the king through the gate between the walls. And they went out toward the Jordan Valley.
犹大王西底家和一切兵丁看见他们, 就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门出城逃跑, 往亚拉巴逃去.

39:5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And they took him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath. And he pronounced sentence on him.
迦勒底的军队追赶他们, 在耶利哥的平原追上西底家, 将他拿住, 带到哈马地的利比拉,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒那里; 尼布甲尼撒就审判他.

39:6 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also slaughtered all the nobles of Judah.
巴比伦王在利比拉,西底家眼前杀了他的众子, 又杀了犹大的一切贵冑,

39:7 Then he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah and tied him up with bronze fetters to bring him to Babylon.
并且剜西底家的眼睛, 用铜炼锁着他, 要带到巴比伦去.

39:8 And the Chaldeans burned the palace of the king and the houses of the people with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
迦勒底人用火焚烧王宫和百姓的房屋, 又拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙.

39:9 Then the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those deserting who had deserted to him, and the rest of the people who remained, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, deported to Babylon.
那时, 护卫长尼布撒拉旦将城里所剩下的百姓和投降他的逃民, 以及其余的民都掳到巴比伦去了.

39:10 And some of the poor people, who had nothing, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah. And he gave them vineyards and fields on that day.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦却将民中毫无所有的穷人留在犹大地, 当时给他们葡萄园和田地.

39:11 And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon commanded concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying,
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒提到耶利米, 嘱咐护卫长尼布撒拉旦说:

39:12 “Take him and set your eyes on him. And you must not do something bad to him, but only that which he speaks to you, so do with him.”
“你领他去, 好好地看待他, 切不可害他; 他对你怎么说, 你就向他怎么行. ”

39:13 So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, sent word, along with Nebushazban the chief officer, and Nergal-sharezer the high official, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦和尼布沙斯班─拉撒力,尼甲‧沙利薛─拉墨, 并巴比伦王的一切官长,

39:14 And they sent and took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and gave him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to the house, so he stayed in the midst of the people.
打发人去, 将耶利米从护卫兵院中提出来, 交与沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利, 带回家去. 于是耶利米住在民中.

39:15 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah at his confinement in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
耶利米还囚在护卫兵院中的时候, 耶和华的话临到他说:

39:16 “Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am about to bring my words to pass against this city for evil and not for good. And they will be before you on that day.
“你去告诉古实人以伯‧米勒说, 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我说降祸不降福的话必临到这城, 到那时必在你面前成就了.

39:17 But I will rescue you on that day,” declares Yahweh, “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are frightened.
耶和华说: 到那日我必拯救你, 你必不致交在你所怕的人手中.

39:18 For surely I will save you, and you will not fall by the sword. But your life will be for you as booty because you have trusted in me,” declares Yahweh.’ ”
我定要搭救你, 你不致倒在刀下, 却要以自己的命为掠物, 因你倚靠我. 这是耶和华说的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 40

40:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had let him go from Ramah, where he had been taken bound in chains in the midst of all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah who were being deported to Babylon.
耶利米锁在耶路撒冷和犹大被掳到巴比伦的人中, 护卫长尼布撒拉旦将他从拉玛释放以后, 耶和华的话临到耶利米.

40:2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “Yahweh your God threatened this disaster to this place,
护卫长将耶利米叫来, 对他说: “耶和华─你的神曾说要降这祸与此地.

40:3 and now he has brought it about, and Yahweh has done just as he threatened. Because you sinned against Yahweh and did not listen to his voice, so this thing has happened to you.
耶和华使这祸临到, 照他所说的行了; 因为你们得罪耶和华, 没有听从他的话, 所以这事临到你们.

40:4 And so then look, I have released you today from the chains that were on your hands. If it is good in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it is bad in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, then refrain. Look, the whole land is before you. To wherever it is good and right in your eyes to go, then go there.”
现在我解开你手上的链子, 你若看与我同往巴比伦去好, 就可以去, 我必厚待你; 你若看与我同往巴比伦去不好, 就不必去. 看哪, 全地在你面前, 你以为哪里美好, 哪里合宜, 只管上那里去吧! ”

40:5 While he still had not turned back, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed in an official position over the towns of Judah, and stay with him in the midst of the people. Or to wherever it is right in your eyes to go, then go there.” Then the captain of the guard gave him an allowance of provisions and a present, and let him go.
耶利米还没有回去, 护卫长说: “你可以回到沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利那里去; 现在巴比伦王立他作犹大城邑的省长. 你可以在他那里住在民中, 不然, 你看哪里合宜就可以上那里去. ”于是护卫长送他粮食和礼物, 释放他去了.

40:6 So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah and stayed with him in the midst of the people who were left in the land.
耶利米就到米斯巴见亚希甘的儿子基大利, 在他那里住在境内剩下的民中.

40:7 When all the commanders of the armies who were in the open country and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam in an official position in the land, and that he had put him in charge of men, and women, and little children, and of the poor of the land, of all those who had not been deported to Babylon,
在田野的一切军长和属他们的人听见巴比伦王立了亚希甘的儿子基大利作境内的省长, 并将没有掳到巴比伦的男人,妇女,孩童, 和境内极穷的人全交给他.

40:8 then they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, and Jehonathan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
于是军长尼探雅的儿子以实玛利, 加利亚的两个儿子约哈难和约拿单, 单户篾的儿子西莱雅, 并尼陀法人以斐的众子, 玛迦人的儿子耶撒尼亚和属他们的人, 都到米斯巴见基大利.

40:9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, “You must not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans. Stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.
沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利向他们和属他们的人起誓说: “不要怕服事迦勒底人, 只管住在这地, 服事巴比伦王, 就可以得福.

40:10 As for me, look, I am staying at Mizpah to represent you before the Chaldeans who come to us. But you, gather wine and summer fruit and oil, and put them in your vessels, and live in your towns that you have seized.”
至于我, 我要住在米斯巴, 伺候那到我们这里来的迦勒底人; 只是你们当积蓄酒,油, 和夏天的果子, 收在器皿里, 住在你们所占的城邑中. ”

40:11 And also all the Judeans who were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and who were in all the lands, when they heard that the king of Babylon had given a remnant to Judah and that he had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, in an official position over them,
在摩押地和亚扪人中, 在以东地和各国的一切犹大人, 听见巴比伦王留下些犹大人, 并立沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利管理他们.

40:12 then all the Judeans returned from all the places to which they were scattered. And they came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and they gathered wine and summer fruit that yielded in great abundance.
这一切犹大人就从所赶到的各处回来, 到犹大地米斯巴的基大利那里, 又积蓄了许多的酒, 并夏天的果子.

40:13 And Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah
加利亚的儿子约哈难和在田野的一切军长来到米斯巴见基大利,

40:14 and said to him, “Are you at all aware that Baalis, the king of the Ammonites, has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, to kill you?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam would not believe them.
对他说: “亚扪人的王巴利斯打发尼探雅的儿子以实玛利来要你的命, 你知道吗? ”亚希甘的儿子基大利却不信他们的话.

40:15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah said to Gedaliah in secrecy at Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and nobody will know. Why should he kill you, so that all of Judah who are gathered to you will be scattered, and the remnant of Judah will perish?”
加利亚的儿子约哈难在米斯巴私下对基大利说: “求你容我去杀尼探雅的儿子以实玛利, 必无人知道. 何必让他要你的命, 使聚集到你这里来的犹大人都分散, 以致犹大剩下的人都灭亡呢? ”

40:16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You must not do this thing, for you are telling a lie about Ishmael.”
亚希甘的儿子基大利对加利亚的儿子约哈难说: “你不可行这事, 你所论以实玛利的话是假的. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 41

41:1 And then in the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, from the offspring of the kingship, and one of the chief officers of the king, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam at Mizpah, along with ten men. And they ate bread together there at Mizpah.
七月间, 王的大臣宗室以利沙玛的孙子,尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人, 来到米斯巴见亚希甘的儿子基大利. 他们在米斯巴一同吃饭.

41:2 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah got up, along with the ten men who were with him, and they struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and killed him whom the king of Babylon had appointed in an official position over the land.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同他来的那十个人起来, 用刀杀了沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利, 就是巴比伦王所立为全地省长的.

41:3 Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with the Chaldeans who were found there, the soldiers.
以实玛利又杀了在米斯巴,基大利那里的一切犹大人和所遇见的迦勒底兵丁.

41:4 And then on the second day of the killing of Gedaliah—and no one knew—
他杀了基大利, 无人知道.

41:5 then men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men with shaven beards and torn garments, who had cut themselves with blades, having grain offerings and frankincense in their hands to bring to the temple of Yahweh.
第二天, 有八十人从示剑和示罗, 并撒马利亚来, 胡须剃去, 衣服撕裂, 身体划破, 手拿素祭和乳香, 要奉到耶和华的殿.

41:6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah came out to meet them from Mizpah, weeping as he came. And then as he was meeting them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.”
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利出米斯巴迎接他们, 随走随哭. 遇见了他们, 就对他们说: “你们可以来见亚希甘的儿子基大利. ”

41:7 And then, the moment of their coming to the middle of the city, then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, along with the men who were with him, slaughtered them and threw them to the middle of the pit.
他们到了城中, 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和同着他的人就将他们杀了, 抛在坑中.

41:8 But ten men were found among them, and they said to Ishmael, “You must not kill us, for we have hidden treasures in the field, wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he refrained and he did not kill them in the midst of their fellow countrymen.
只是他们中间有十个人对以实玛利说: “不要杀我们, 因为我们有许多大麦,小麦,油,蜜藏在田间. ”于是他住了手, 没有将他们杀在弟兄中间.

41:9 Now the pit into which Ishmael threw all the corpses of the men whom he had killed along with Gedaliah was the same one that King Asa had made because of Baasha the king of Israel, who was against him. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain ones.
以实玛利将所杀之人的尸首都抛在坑里基大利的旁边; 这坑是从前亚撒王因怕以色列王巴沙所挖的. 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利将那些被杀的人填满了坑.

41:10 Then Ishmael took captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the daughters of the king and all the people who were left at Mizpah, over whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael took them captive and set out to cross over to the Ammonites.
以实玛利将米斯巴剩下的人, 就是众公主和仍住在米斯巴所有的百姓, 原是护卫长尼布撒拉旦交给亚希甘的儿子基大利的, 都掳去了. 尼探雅的儿子以实玛利掳了他们, 要往亚扪人那里去.

41:11 When Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were with him, heard all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长听见尼探雅的儿子以实玛利所行的一切恶,

41:12 then they took all the men and went to fight against Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. And they met him at the great pool that is in Gibeon.
就带领众人前往, 要和尼探雅的儿子以实玛利争战, 在基遍的大水旁(或译: 大水池旁)遇见他.

41:13 And then, the moment that all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were with him, they were glad.
以实玛利那里的众人看见加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长, 就都欢喜.

41:14 So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and returned and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
这样, 以实玛利从米斯巴所掳去的众人都转身归加利亚的儿子约哈难去了.

41:15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped with eight men from Johanan, and they went to the Ammonites.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利和八个人脱离约哈难的手, 逃往亚扪人那里去了.

41:16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies who were with him took from Mizpah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, strong men, soldiers, and women, and little children, and eunuchs whom he brought back from Gibeon.
尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了亚希甘的儿子基大利, 从米斯巴将剩下的一切百姓,兵丁,妇女,孩童,太监掳到基遍之后, 加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长将他们都夺回来,

41:17 And they set out and stayed at the lodging place of Chimham that is near Bethlehem, intending to go to Egypt
带到靠近伯利恒的金罕寓(或译: 基罗特金罕)住下, 要进入埃及去;

41:18 because of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed in an official position over the land.
因为尼探雅的儿子以实玛利杀了巴比伦王所立为省长的亚希甘的儿子基大利, 约哈难惧怕迦勒底人.

Jeremiah - Chapter 42

42:1 Then all the commanders of the armies, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the smallest to the greatest, approached
众军长和加利亚的儿子约哈难, 并何沙雅的儿子耶撒尼亚(又名亚撒利雅, 见四十三章二节)以及众百姓, 从最小的到至大的都进前来,

42:2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “May our plea please fall before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God, for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes are seeing us.
对先知耶利米说: “求你准我们在你面前祈求, 为我们这剩下的人祷告耶和华─你的神. 我们本来众多, 现在剩下的极少, 这是你亲眼所见的.

42:3 And let Yahweh your God inform us the way in which we should go and the thing that we should do.”
愿耶和华─你的神指示我们所当走的路, 所当做的事. ”

42:4 And Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard. Look, I am going to pray to Yahweh your God according to your words, and then all the words that Yahweh answers you I will tell you; I will not withhold from you a word.”
先知耶利米对他们说: “我已经听见你们了, 我必照着你们的话祷告耶和华─你们的神. 耶和华无论回答甚么, 我必都告诉你们, 毫不隐瞒. ”

42:5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May Yahweh be against us as a true and faithful witness if we do not do according to all the words that Yahweh sends you for us.
于是他们对耶利米说: “我们若不照耶和华─你的神差遣你来说的一切话行, 愿耶和华在我们中间作真实诚信的见证.

42:6 Whether good or bad, we will listen to the voice of Yahweh our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of Yahweh our God.”
我们现在请你到耶和华─我们的神面前, 他说的无论是好是歹, 我们都必听从; 我们听从耶和华─我们神的话, 就可以得福. ”

42:7 And then at the end of ten days the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah.
过了十天, 耶和华的话临到耶利米.

42:8 And he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the smallest to the greatest,
他就将加利亚的儿子约哈难和同着他的众军长, 并众百姓, 从最小的到至大的都叫了来,

42:9 and said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to cause your plea to fall before him:
对他们说: “耶和华─以色列的神, 就是你们请我在他面前为你们祈求的主, 如此说:

42:10 ‘If only you will stay in this land, then I will build you and I will not tear you down, and I will plant you and I will not pluck you up, for I relent of the disaster that I have brought to you.
‘你们若仍住在这地, 我就建立你们, 必不拆毁, 栽植你们, 并不拔出, 因我为降与你们的灾祸后悔了.

42:11 You must not be afraid of the king of Babylon whom you are afraid of. You must not be afraid of him,’ declares Yahweh, ‘for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.
不要怕你们所怕的巴比伦王’”. 耶和华说: “不要怕他! 因为我与你们同在, 要拯救你们脱离他的手.

42:12 And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and will restore you to your soil.
我也要使他发怜悯, 好怜悯你们, 叫你们归回本地.

42:13 But if you are saying, “We will not stay in this land,” so as to not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God,
倘若你们说: ‘我们不住在这地’, 以致不听从耶和华─你们神的话,

42:14 saying, “No, for we will go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war, and we will not hear the sound of a horn, and we will not be hungry for bread, and there we will stay,”
说: ‘我们不住这地, 却要进入埃及地, 在那里看不见争战, 听不见角声, 也不致无食饥饿. 我们必住在那里. ’

42:15 then therefore hear the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah. Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “If you are determined to go to Egypt, and you go to dwell as aliens there,
你们所剩下的犹大人哪, 现在要听耶和华的话. 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘你们若定意要进入埃及, 在那里寄居,

42:16 then it will be that the sword that you are in fear of will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine that you are anxious of will pursue after you there into Egypt, and there you will die.
你们所惧怕的刀剑在埃及地必追上你们! 你们所惧怕的饥荒在埃及要紧紧地跟随你们! 你们必死在那里!

42:17 So all the people who are determined to go to Egypt to dwell as aliens there will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, and there will not be for them an escapee or a survivor from the disaster that I am bringing upon them.”
凡定意要进入埃及在那里寄居的必遭刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫而死, 无一人存留, 逃脱我所降与他们的灾祸. ’

42:18 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will pour out on you at your going to Egypt, and you will become a curse, and a horror, and a curse formula, and a disgrace, and you will no longer see this place.” ’
“万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: ‘我怎样将我的怒气和忿怒倾在耶路撒冷的居民身上, 你们进入埃及的时候, 我也必照样将我的忿怒倾在你们身上, 以致你们令人辱骂,惊骇,咒诅,羞辱, 你们不得再见这地方. ’

42:19 Yahweh has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘You must not go to Egypt.’ You must certainly know that I have warned you today
所剩下的犹大人哪, 耶和华论到你们说: ‘不要进入埃及去. ’你们要确实地知道我今日警教你们了.

42:20 that you have made a fatal mistake, for you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God, and all that Yahweh our God says, so tell us and we will do it.’
你们行诡诈自害; 因为你们请我到耶和华─你们的神那里, 说: ‘求你为我们祷告耶和华─我们神, 照耶和华─我们的神一切所说的告诉我们, 我们就必遵行. ’

42:21 So I have told you today, and you have not listened to the voice of Yahweh your God, or of anything that he sent me for you.
我今日将这话告诉你们, 耶和华─你们的神为你们的事差遣我到你们那里说的, 你们却一样没有听从.

42:22 Now then, certainly you must know that by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague you will die in the place where you desire to go, to dwell as aliens there.”
现在你们要确实地知道, 你们在所要去寄居之地必遭刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫而死. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 43

43:1 And then, when Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, for which Yahweh their God had sent him to them with all these words,
耶利米向众百姓说完了耶和华─他们神的一切话, 就是耶和华─他们神差遣他去所说的一切话.

43:2 Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the insolent men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You are telling a lie! Yahweh our God did not send you, saying, ‘You must not go to Egypt to dwell as aliens there.’
何沙雅的儿子亚撒利雅和加利亚的儿子约哈难, 并一切狂傲的人, 就对耶利米说: “你说谎言! 耶和华─我们的神并没有差遣你来说: ‘你们不可进入埃及, 在那里寄居. ’

43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us in order to give us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to kill us and to deport us to Babylon.”
这是尼利亚的儿子巴录挑唆你害我们, 要将我们交在迦勒底人的手中, 使我们有被杀的, 有被掳到巴比伦去的. ”

43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies, and all the people did not listen to the voice of Yahweh to stay in the land of Judah.
于是加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长, 并众百姓, 不听从耶和华的话住在犹大地.

43:5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the armies took all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations to which they had been scattered to dwell as aliens in the land of Judah—
加利亚的儿子约哈难和一切军长却将所剩下的犹大人, 就是从被赶到各国回来在犹大地寄居的男人,妇女,孩童, 和众公主, 并护卫长尼布撒拉旦所留在沙番的孙子亚希甘的儿子基大利那里的众人, 与先知耶利米, 以及尼利亚的儿子巴录,

43:6 the men, and the women, and the little children, and the daughters of the king, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah—
a

43:7 and they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh. And they came up to Tahpanhes.
都带入埃及地, 到了答比匿. 这是因他们不听从耶和华的话.

43:8 And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
在答比匿, 耶和华的话临到耶利米说:

43:9 “Take in your hands large stones and bury them in the mortar in the clay floor that is at the entrance of the palace of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes before the eyes of the people of the Judeans,
“你在犹大人眼前要用手拿几块大石头, 藏在砌砖的灰泥中, 就是在答比匿法老的宫门那里,

43:10 and say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Look, I am going to send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he will spread out his canopy over them.
对他们说: ‘万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我必召我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来. 在所藏的石头上我要安置他的宝座; 他必将光华的宝帐支搭在其上.

43:11 And he will come and ravage the land of Egypt, and deliver those who are appointed for the plague, to the plague, and those who are appointed for the captivity, to the captivity, and those who are appointed for the sword, to the sword.
他要来攻击埃及地, 定为死亡的, 必致死亡; 定为掳掠的, 必被掳掠; 定为刀杀的, 必交刀杀.

43:12 Then he will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. And he will wrap up the land of Egypt just as the shepherd wraps up his cloak. And he will go forth from there in peace.
我要在埃及神的庙中使火著起, 巴比伦王要将庙宇焚烧, 神像掳去; 他要得(原文是披上)埃及地, 好像牧人披上外衣, 从那里安然而去.

43:13 And he will break the stone pillars of Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt. And he will burn the temples of the gods of Egypt with fire.” ’ ”
他必打碎埃及地伯‧示麦的柱像, 用火焚烧埃及神的庙宇. ’”

Jeremiah - Chapter 44

44:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who were living in the land of Egypt, who were living at Migdol, and Tahpanhes, and Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, saying,
有临到耶利米的话, 论及一切住在埃及地的犹大人, 就是住在密夺,答比匿,挪弗,巴忒罗境内的犹大人, 说:

44:2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen all the disaster that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the towns of Judah. And look, they are a site of ruins this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant,
“万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我所降与耶路撒冷和犹大各城的一切灾祸你们都看见了. 那些城邑今日荒凉, 无人居住;

44:3 because of their wickedness that they committed to provoke me to anger by going to make smoke offerings, serving other gods whom they had not known, neither they, you, or your ancestors.
这是因居民所行的恶, 去烧香事奉别神, 就是他们和你们, 并你们列祖所不认识的神, 惹我发怒.

44:4 And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending over and over again, saying, “Please, you must not do this detestable thing that I hate.”
我从早起来差遣我的仆人众先知去说, 你们切不要行我所厌恶这可憎之事.

44:5 But they did not listen and they did not incline their ears to turn back from their wickedness, to not make smoke offerings to other gods.
他们却不听从, 不侧耳而听, 不转离恶事, 仍向别神烧香.

44:6 So my wrath and my anger were poured out and burned in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they became as a site of ruins, as a desolation, as they are this day.’
因此, 我的怒气和忿怒都倒出来, 在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷的街市上, 如火著起, 以致都荒废凄凉, 正如今日一样.

44:7 So then, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Why are you doing great harm to yourselves, to cut off for yourselves man and woman, child and suckling, from the midst of Judah, to not leave over for yourselves a remnant,
现在耶和华─万军之神,以色列的神如此说: 你们为何作这大恶自害己命, 使你们的男人,妇女,婴孩, 和吃奶的都从犹大中剪除,不留一人呢?

44:8 provoking me to anger with the works of your hands, to make smoke offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to dwell as aliens, so as to cut off yourselves, and so that you are becoming as a curse, and as a disgrace among all the nations of the earth?
就是因你们手所做的, 在所去寄居的埃及地向别神烧香惹我发怒, 使你们被剪除, 在天下万国中令人咒诅羞辱.

44:9 Have you forgotten the wicked things of your ancestors, and the wicked things of the kings of Judah, and the wicked things of their wives, and your wicked things, and the wicked things of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
你们列祖的恶行, 犹大列王和他们后妃的恶行, 你们自己和你们妻子的恶行, 就是在犹大地,耶路撒冷街上所行的, 你们都忘了吗?

44:10 They have not shown contrition up to this day, and they have not shown reverence, and they have not walked in my law and in my statutes that I set before you and before your ancestors.’
到如今还没有懊悔, 没有惧怕, 没有遵行我在你们和你们列祖面前所设立的法度律例.

44:11 Therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Look, I am determined to bring disaster on you, even to exterminate all Judah.
“所以万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 我必向你们变脸降灾, 以致剪除犹大众人.

44:12 And I will take away the remnant of Judah who are determined to come to the land of Egypt to dwell as aliens there, and everyone will perish. They will fall in the land of Egypt by the sword; they will perish by the famine, from the smallest to the greatest. By the sword and by the famine they will die and become as a curse, as a horror, and as a curse, and as a disgrace.
那定意进入埃及地,在那里寄居的, 就是所剩下的犹大人, 我必使他们尽都灭绝, 必在埃及地仆倒, 必因刀剑饥荒灭绝; 从最小的到至大的都必遭刀剑饥荒而死, 以致令人辱骂,惊骇,咒诅,羞辱.

44:13 So I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt just as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague.
我怎样用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫刑罚耶路撒冷, 也必照样刑罚那些住在埃及地的犹大人;

44:14 And there will not be a survivor or an escapee of the remnant of Judah, those who have come to dwell as an alien there in the land of Egypt, to return to the land of Judah where they are longing to return to dwell there, for they will not turn back, but only some survivors.’ ”
甚至那进入埃及地寄居的, 就是所剩下的犹大人, 都不得逃脱, 也不得存留归回犹大地. 他们心中甚想归回居住之地; 除了逃脱的以外, 一个都不能归回. ”

44:15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were making smoke offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, and all the people who lived in the land of Egypt in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
那些住在埃及地巴忒罗知道自己妻子向别神烧香的, 与旁边站立的众妇女, 聚集成群, 回答耶利米说:

44:16 “Concerning the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yahweh, we are not going to listen to you!
“论到你奉耶和华的名向我们所说的话, 我们必不听从.

44:17 But certainly we will do everything that went out from our mouths, to make smoke offerings to the queen of heaven and to pour out to her libations just as we did, we, and our ancestors, our kings, and our officials, in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, for then we had enough to eat, and we were well-off, and we did not see disaster.
我们定要成就我们口中所出的一切话, 向天后烧香,浇奠祭, 按着我们与我们列祖,君王,首领在犹大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街市上素常所行的一样; 因为那时我们吃饱饭,享福乐, 并不见灾祸.

44:18 But since we stopped making smoke offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her, we have lacked everything, and by the sword and by the famine we have perished.
自从我们停止向天后烧香,浇奠祭, 我们倒缺乏一切, 又因刀剑饥荒灭绝. ”

44:19 And indeed, when we were making smoke offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out to her libations, was it not with the consent of our husbands that we made for her sacrificial cakes marked with her image, and we poured out to her libations?”
妇女说: “我们向天后烧香,浇奠祭, 做天后像的饼供奉她, 向她浇奠祭, 是外乎我们的丈夫吗? ”

44:20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and to the women, and to all the people who answered him a word, saying,
耶利米对一切那样回答他的男人妇女说:

44:21 “The offering that you made, smoke offerings in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your ancestors, your kings, and your officials, and the people of the land, did not Yahweh remember them, and did it not come to his mind?
“你们与你们列祖,君王,首领, 并国内的百姓, 在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街市上所烧的香, 耶和华岂不记念, 心中岂不思想吗?

44:22 And Yahweh was no longer able to bear it, because of the evil of your deeds, because of the detestable things that you committed. Thus your land became as a site of ruins, and as a horror, and as a curse, without inhabitants, as it is this day.
耶和华因你们所作的恶,所行可憎的事, 不能再容忍, 所以你们的地荒凉, 令人惊骇咒诅, 无人居住, 正如今日一样.

44:23 Because of the fact that you made smoke offerings, and that you sinned against Yahweh, and you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh, and you have not walked in his law, and in his statute, and in his legal provisions, therefore this disaster has happened to you, as it is this day.”
你们烧香, 得罪耶和华, 没有听从他的话, 没有遵行他的律法,条例,法度, 所以你们遭遇这灾祸, 正如今日一样. ”

44:24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, “Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
耶利米又对众民和众妇女说: “你们在埃及地的一切犹大人当听耶和华的话.

44:25 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, ‘You and your wives have promised with your mouths and with your hands you have fulfilled, saying, “We certainly will carry out our vows that we vowed, to make smoke offerings to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations.” You must certainly keep your vows and you must certainly carry out your vows.’
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 你们和你们的妻都口中说,手里做, 说: ‘我们定要偿还所许的愿, 向天后烧香,浇奠祭. ’现在你们只管坚定所许的愿而偿还吧!

44:26 Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah, those who live in the land of Egypt: ‘Look, I hereby swear by my great name,’ says Yahweh, ‘surely my name will no longer be called in the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, “as the Lord Yahweh lives,” in all the land of Egypt.
所以你们住在埃及地的一切犹大人当听耶和华的话. 耶和华说: 我指着我的大名起誓, 在埃及全地, 我的名不再被犹大一个人的口称呼说: ‘我指著主─永生的耶和华起誓. ’

44:27 Look, I am going to watch over them for harm and not for good, and all people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will perish by the sword and by the famine until their perishing.
我向他们留意降祸不降福; 在埃及地的一切犹大人必因刀剑,饥荒所灭, 直到灭尽.

44:28 And the survivors of the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah few in number. And all the remnant of Judah who have come to the land of Egypt to dwell as aliens there will know whose word will endure, from me or from them.
脱离刀剑,从埃及地归回犹大地的人数很少; 那进入埃及地要在那里寄居的, 就是所剩下的犹大人, 必知道是谁的话立得住, 是我的话呢? 是他们的话呢?

44:29 And this will be to you the sign,’ declares Yahweh, ‘that I am going to punish you in this place, so that you may know that surely my words will endure against you for evil.’
耶和华说: 我在这地方刑罚你们, 必有预兆, 使你们知道我降祸与你们的话必要立得住.

44:30 Thus says Yahweh: ‘Look, I am going to give Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah the king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, his enemy and the one who sought his life.’ ”
耶和华如此说: 我必将埃及王法老合弗拉交在他仇敌和寻索其命的人手中, 像我将犹大王西底家交在他仇敌和寻索其命的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒手中一样. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 45

45:1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, the son of Neriah, at his writing these words on a scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年, 尼利亚的儿子巴录将先知耶利米口中所说的话写在书上. 耶利米说:

45:2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
“巴录啊, 耶和华─以色列的神说:

45:3 ‘You said, “Woe please to me, for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain. I am weary in my groaning and I do not find rest.” ’
巴录(原文是你)曾说: ‘哀哉! 耶和华将忧愁加在我的痛苦上, 我因唉哼而困乏, 不得安歇. ’

45:4 Thus you will say to him: ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to pluck up, it is all the land.
你要这样告诉他, 耶和华如此说: 我所建立的, 我必拆毁; 我所栽植的, 我必拔出; 在全地我都如此行.

45:5 And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek great things, for look, I am about to bring disaster upon all flesh,” declares Yahweh, “but to you I will give your life as booty in all the places where you may go.” ’ ”
你为自己图谋大事吗? 不要图谋! 我必使灾祸临到凡有血气的. 但你无论往哪里去, 我必使你以自己的命为掠物. 这是耶和华说的. ”

46:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
耶和华论列国的话临到先知耶利米.

46:2 Concerning Egypt: Concerning the army of Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, which was by the Euphrates River at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah.
论到关乎埃及王法老尼哥的军队: 这军队安营在幼发拉底河边的迦基米施, 是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年所打败的.

46:3 “Prepare small shield and shield, and approach for the battle!
你们要预备大小盾牌, 往前上阵.

46:4 Harness the horses and mount the steeds! And take your stand with helmets! Polish the spears! Put on the body armor!
你们套上车, 骑上马! 顶盔站立, 磨枪贯甲!

46:5 Why do I see them terrified? They are turning back and their warriors are beaten down. And they have fled to a place of refuge and they do not turn back. Terror is from all around,” declares Yahweh.
我为何看见他们惊惶转身退后呢? 他们的勇士打败了, 急忙逃跑, 并不回头; 惊吓四围都有! 这是耶和华说的.

46:6 The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape. They have stumbled and they have fallen, by the bank of the Euphrates River.
不要容快跑的逃避; 不要容勇士逃脱(或译: 快跑的不能逃避; 勇士不能逃脱); 他们在北方幼发拉底河边绊跌仆倒.

46:7 Who is this that rises like the Nile, like the rivers whose waters surge?
像尼罗河涨发, 像江河之水翻腾的是谁呢?

46:8 Egypt rises like the Nile, even like the rivers whose waters surge. And he says, “Let me rise, let me cover the earth, let me destroy cities, and the inhabitants in them.”
埃及像尼罗河涨发, 像江河的水翻腾. 他说: 我要涨发遮盖遍地; 我要毁灭城邑和其中的居民.

46:9 Go up, O horses, and drive madly, O chariots, and let the warriors go forth; Cush and Put, who wield the small shield, and Lud, who wield and bend the bow.
马匹上去吧! 车辆急行吧! 勇士, 就是手拿盾牌的古实人和弗人(又作利比亚人), 并拉弓的路德族, 都出去吧!

46:10 For that day is to the Lord Yahweh of hosts a day of retribution, to take revenge on his foes. And the sword will devour and be satisfied, and it will drink its fill of their blood, for a sacrifice is for the Lord Yahweh of hosts in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.
那日是主─万军之耶和华报仇的日子, 要向敌人报仇. 刀剑必吞吃得饱, 饮血饮足; 因为主─万军之耶和华在北方幼发拉底河边有献祭的事.

46:11 Go up to Gilead and take balm, O virgin of the daughter of Egypt. In vain you make use of many medicines; there is no healing for you.
埃及的民(原文是处女)哪, 可以上基列取乳香去; 你虽多服良药, 总是徒然, 不得治好.

46:12 The nations have heard your shame, and your cry of lament fills the earth. For warrior has stumbled against warrior, together they have fallen, the two of them.
列国听见你的羞辱, 遍地满了你的哀声; 勇士与勇士彼此相碰, 一齐跌倒.

你的壮士为何被冲去呢? 他们站立不住; 因为耶和华驱逐他们,

46:16 He multiplied the ones stumbling. Furthermore, each one fell to his neighbor, and said, ‘Stand up, and let us return to our people and to the land of our birth, because of the presence of the sword of the oppressor.’
使多人绊跌; 他们也彼此撞倒, 说: 起来吧! 我们再往本民本地去, 好躲避欺压的刀剑.

46:17 They will call there, ‘Pharaoh, the king of Egypt is but a roar, he missed the opportunity.’
他们在那里喊叫说: 埃及王法老不过是个声音(或译: 已经败亡); 他已错过所定的时候了.

46:18 As I live,” declares the king, Yahweh of hosts is his name, “one will come like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea.
君王─名为万军之耶和华的说: 我指着我的永生起誓: 尼布甲尼撒(原文是他)来的势派必像他泊在众山之中, 像迦密在海边一样.

埃及是肥美的母牛犊; 但出于北方的毁灭(或译: 牛虻)来到了! 来到了!

46:21 Even her mercenaries in her midst are like calves of fattening, for they also have turned away, they have fled together. They stand not, for the day of their calamity has come, the time of their punishment.
其中的雇勇好像圈里的肥牛犊, 他们转身退后, 一齐逃跑, 站立不住; 因为他们遭难的日子,追讨的时候已经临到.

46:22 Her sound is like a snake that glides away, for they march in force. And with axes they come to her like those who chop trees.
其中的声音好像蛇行一样. 敌人要成队而来, 如砍伐树木的手拿斧子攻击他.

46:23 They will cut down her forest,” declares Yahweh, “for it is impenetrable. Yes, they are more numerous than locusts, and they are without number.
耶和华说: 埃及的树林虽然不能寻察(或译: 穿不过), 敌人却要砍伐, 因他们多于蝗虫, 不可胜数.

46:24 The daughter of Egypt will be ashamed, she will be given into the hand of the people of the north.”
埃及的民(原文是女子)必然蒙羞, 必交在北方人的手中.

And Jacob will return, and he will be quiet, and he will be at ease, and without one who makes him afraid.
我的仆人雅各啊, 不要惧怕! 以色列啊, 不要惊惶! 因我要从远方拯救你, 从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔. 雅各必回来, 得享平靖安逸, 无人使他害怕.

46:28 You must not be afraid, my servant Jacob,” declares Yahweh, “for I am with you. For I will make a complete destruction in all the nations where I scattered you, but you I will not make a complete destruction, though I will chastise you to the measure, and I will certainly not leave you unpunished.”
我的仆人雅各啊, 不要惧怕! 因我与你同在. 我要将我所赶你到的那些国灭绝净尽, 却不将你灭绝净尽, 倒要从宽惩治你, 万不能不罚你(不罚你: 或译以你为无罪). 这是耶和华说的.

耶和华如此说: 有水从北方发起, 成为涨溢的河, 要涨过遍地和其中所有的, 并城和其中所住的. 人必呼喊; 境内的居民都必哀号.

47:3 from the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions, from the clattering of his chariots, the noise of their wheels. Fathers do not turn to their children because of the slackness of their hands.
听见敌人壮马蹄跳的响声和战车隆隆,车轮轰轰; 为父的手就发软, 不回头看顾儿女.

47:4 Because of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and from Sidon every survivor who could help, for Yahweh is destroying the Philistines, the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
因为日子将到, 要毁灭一切非利士人, 剪除帮助泰尔,西顿所剩下的人. 原来耶和华必毁灭非利士人, 就是迦斐托海岛余剩的人.

耶和华的刀剑哪, 你到几时才止息呢? 你要入鞘, 安靖不动.

耶和华既吩咐你攻击亚实基伦和海边之地, 他已经派定你, 焉能止息呢?

Jeremiah - Chapter 48

48:1 Concerning Moab, thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe to Nebo, for it is devastated. It is ashamed, Kiriathaim is captured. Misgab is ashamed, and it is filled with terror.
论摩押. 万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 尼波有祸了! 因变为荒场. 基列亭蒙羞被攻取; 米斯迦蒙羞被毁坏;

48:2 The glory of Moab is no longer. In Heshbon they planned evil against her. Come and let us cut her off from being a nation. Also, Madmen, you will be silent. After you will go the sword.
摩押不再被称赞. 有人在希实本设计谋害她, 说: 来吧! 我们将她剪除, 不再成国. 玛得缅哪, 你也必默默无声; 刀剑必追赶你.

48:6 Flee! Save your life! For you must not be like the juniper tree in the desert.
你们要奔逃, 自救性命, 独自居住, 好像旷野的杜松.

48:7 For because of your trusting in your works and in your treasures, even you yourselves will be taken, and Chemosh will go out into the exile, his priests and his officials together.
你因倚靠自己所做的和自己的财宝必被攻取. 基抹和属他的祭司,首领也要一同被掳去.

48:8 And the destroyer will come to every town, and a town will not escape. And the valley will be destroyed, and the plain will be destroyed, as Yahweh has spoken.
行毁灭的必来到各城, 并无一城得免. 山谷必致败落, 平原必被毁坏; 正如耶和华所说的.

48:9 Give salt for Moab, for certainly she will go to ruin, and her towns will become as a desolation, without an inhabitant in them.
要将翅膀给摩押, 使她可以飞去. 她的城邑必致荒凉, 无人居住.

48:10 The one who does the work of Yahweh with slackness is cursed, and the one who keeps away blood from his sword is cursed.
(懒惰为耶和华行事的, 必受咒诅; 禁止刀剑不经血的, 必受咒诅. )

48:11 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has been quiet on his dregs, and he has not been poured out from vessel to vessel, and he has not gone into exile. Therefore his taste has remained unchanged, and his fragrance has not changed.
摩押自幼年以来常享安逸, 如酒在渣滓上澄清, 没有从这器皿倒在那器皿里, 也未曾被掳去. 因此, 它的原味尚存, 香气未变.

48:12 Therefore look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “and I will send to him decanters, and they will decant him, and his vessels they will empty out, and their jars they will smash.
耶和华说: “日子将到, 我必打发倒酒的往她那里去, 将她倒出来, 倒空她的器皿, 打碎她的坛子.

48:13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel, their trust.
摩押必因基抹羞愧, 像以色列家从前倚靠伯特利的神羞愧一样.

48:14 How can you say, ‘we are warriors, and men of might for the battle.’
你们怎么说: 我们是勇士, 是有勇力打仗的呢?

48:15 Moab is destroyed, and his towns have gone up, and the choice of his young men have gone down to the slaughtering,” declares the King, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
摩押变为荒场, 敌人上去进了她的城邑. 她所特选的少年人下去遭了杀戮; 这是君王─名为万军之耶和华说的.

48:16 “The disaster of Moab is near to come, and his disaster approaches very quickly.
摩押的灾殃临近; 她的苦难速速来到.

48:17 Mourn for him, all his surroundings, and all those who knew his name. Say, ‘How the staff of might is broken, the staff of glory.’
凡在她四围的和认识她名的, 你们都要为她悲伤, 说: 那结实的杖和那美好的棍, 何竟折断了呢?

住在底本的民(原文是女子)哪, 要从你荣耀的位上下来, 坐受干渴; 因毁灭摩押的上来攻击你, 毁坏了你的保障.

48:19 Stand by the road and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer. Ask the man who is fleeing and the woman who is escaping, say, ‘What has happened?’
住亚罗珥的啊, 要站在道旁观望, 问逃避的男人和逃脱的女人说: 是甚么事呢?

48:20 Moab is ashamed, for it is filled with terror. Wail and cry out, tell it by Arnon that Moab is devastated.
摩押因毁坏蒙羞; 你们要哀号呼喊, 要在亚嫩旁报告说: 摩押变为荒场!

48:21 Judgment has also come to the land of the plain, to Holon, and to Jahaz, and on Mephaath,
“刑罚临到平原之地的何伦,雅杂,米法押,

48:22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
底本,尼波,伯‧低比拉太音,

48:23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,
基列亭,伯‧迦末,伯‧米恩,

48:24 and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, the far and the near.
加略,波斯拉, 和摩押地远近所有的城邑.

48:25 The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken,” declares Yahweh.
摩押的角砍断了, 摩押的膀臂折断了. 这是耶和华说的. ”

48:26 “Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against Yahweh, and let Moab wallow in his vomit. And he also will become a laughingstock.
“你们要使摩押沉醉, 因他向耶和华夸大. 他要在自己所吐之中打滚, 又要被人嗤笑.

48:27 Now was not Israel the laughingstock to you? Or was he found among thieves? For as often as you spoke over him you shook your head.
摩押啊, 你不曾嗤笑以色列吗? 她岂是在贼中查出来的呢? 你每逢提到她便摇头.

48:28 Leave the towns and dwell on the rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like the dove, it nests on the sides of the mouth of a ravine.
摩押的居民哪, 要离开城邑, 住在山崖里, 像鸽子在深渊口上搭窝.

48:29 We have heard of the pride of Moab —he is very proud— his height, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
我们听说摩押人骄傲, 是极其骄傲; 听说他自高自傲, 并且狂妄, 居心自大.

48:30 I know his insolence,” declares Yahweh, “and his boastings are false; they act falsely.
耶和华说: 我知道他的忿怒是虚空的; 他夸大的话一无所成.

耶和华藉先知耶利米论巴比伦和迦勒底人之地所说的话.

50:2 “Declare among the nations and proclaim, and lift up a banner. Proclaim, you must not conceal it. Say, ‘Babylon is captured, Bel is ashamed, Merodach is filled with terror, her idols are ashamed, her idols are filled with terror.
你们要在万国中传扬报告, 竖立大旗; 要报告, 不可隐瞒, 说: 巴比伦被攻取, 彼勒蒙羞, 米罗达惊惶. 巴比伦的神像都蒙羞; 她的偶像都惊惶.

50:3 For a nation will come up against her from the north. It will make her land as a horror, and an inhabitant will not be in her. From humans to animals they all will wander off. They will go away.
“因有一国从北方上来攻击她, 使她的地荒凉, 无人居住, 连人带牲畜都逃走了. ”

他们必访问锡安, 又面向这里, 说: ‘来吧, 你们要与耶和华联合为永远不忘的约. ’”

“我的百姓作了迷失的羊, 牧人使他们走差路, 使他们转到山上. 他们从大山走到小山, 竟忘了安歇之处.

50:7 All those who found them have devoured them. And their foes have said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the true pasture, even Yahweh, the hope of their ancestors.’
凡遇见他们的, 就把他们吞灭. 敌人说: ‘我们没有罪; 因他们得罪那作公义居所的耶和华, 就是他们列祖所仰望的耶和华. ’

50:8 Flee from the midst of Babylon, and from the land of the Chaldeans. Go out and be like he-goats before the flock.
“我民哪, 你们要从巴比伦中逃走, 从迦勒底人之地出去, 要像羊群前面走的公山羊.

50:9 For look, I am going to stir up, and I am going to bring against Babylon a contingent of great nations from the land of the north. And they will draw up a battle formation against her, from there she will be captured. Their arrows are like a warrior who has achieved success, he does not return without success.

抢夺我产业的啊, 你们因欢喜快乐, 且像踹谷撒欢的母牛犊, 又像发嘶声的壮马.

50:12 your mother will be very ashamed. She who gave birth to you will be humiliated. Look, she will be the least of the nations, a desert, dry land, and wilderness.
你们的母巴比伦就极其抱愧, 生你们的必然蒙羞. 她要列在诸国之末, 成为旷野,旱地,沙漠.

因耶和华的忿怒, 必无人居住, 要全然荒凉. 凡经过巴比伦的要受惊骇, 又因她所遭的灾殃嗤笑.

50:14 Draw up a battle formation at Babylon all around, all those who bend the bow, shoot at her. You must not spare arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
所有拉弓的, 你们要在巴比伦的四围摆阵, 射箭攻击她. 不要爱惜箭枝, 因她得罪了耶和华.

你们要将巴比伦撒种的和收割时拿镰刀的都剪除了. 他们各人因怕欺压的刀剑, 必归回本族, 逃到本土.

50:17 Israel is a sheep scattered, lions drove them away. The first who devoured it was the king of Assyria, and now at the end Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, gnawed its bones.”
“以色列是打散的羊, 是被狮子赶出的. 首先是亚述王将他吞灭, 末后是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒将他的骨头折断. ”

所以万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: “我必罚巴比伦王和他的地, 像我从前罚亚述王一样.

50:29 Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp all around her, there must not be for her an escape. Take revenge on her according to her deeds. According to all that she has done, so do to her. For against Yahweh she has behaved insolently, against the Holy One of Israel.
“招集一切弓箭手来攻击巴比伦. 要在巴比伦四围安营, 不要容一人逃脱, 照着她所做的报应她; 她怎样待人, 也要怎样待她, 因为她向耶和华─以色列的圣者发了狂傲.

耶和华说: “必无人住在那里, 也无人在其中寄居, 要像我倾覆所多玛,蛾摩拉, 和邻近的城邑一样.

50:41 Look, a people is about to come from the north, and a great nation and many kings are woken up from the remotest part of the earth.
看哪, 有一种民从北方而来, 并有一大国和许多君王被激动, 从地极来到.

50:42 They keep hold of bow and short sword. They are cruel and they have no mercy. Their sound is like the sea, it roars, and upon horses they ride. Drawn up for battle as a man for the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
他们拿弓和枪, 性情残忍, 不施怜悯; 他们的声音像海浪匉訇. 巴比伦城(原文是女子)啊, 他们骑马, 都摆队伍如上战场的人, 要攻击你.

50:43 The king of Babylon heard their report and his hands grew slack. Anxiety has seized him, fear and pain like the woman who gives birth.
巴比伦王听见他们的风声, 手就发软, 痛苦将他抓住, 疼痛仿佛产难的妇人.

50:44 Look, like a lion he comes up from the thickets of the Jordan against a pastureland by a constantly flowing stream, so I will chase them away quickly from her, and I will appoint whoever is chosen over her. For who is like me, and who can summon me, and who is this shepherd who can stand before me?
“仇敌必像狮子从约旦河边的丛林上来, 攻击坚固的居所. 转眼之间, 我要使他们逃跑, 离开这地. 谁蒙拣选, 我就派谁治理这地. 谁能比我呢? 谁能给我定规日期呢? 有何牧人能在我面前站立得住呢?

50:45 Therefore hear the plan of Yahweh that he has planned against Babylon, and his plans that he has planned against the land of the Chaldeans. Surely they will drag them away, the little ones of the flock. Surely he will cause their grazing place to be desolate over them.
你们要听耶和华攻击巴比伦所说的谋略和他攻击迦勒底人之地所定的旨意. 仇敌定要将他们群众微弱的拉去, 定要使他们的居所荒凉.

50:46 At the sound, ‘Babylon has been captured,’ the earth will quake, and a cry for help among the nations will be heard.”
因巴比伦被取的声音, 地就震动, 人在列邦都听见呼喊的声音. ”

Jeremiah - Chapter 51

51:1 Thus says Yahweh: “Look, I am going to stir up against Babylon and against the inhabitants of Leb-qamai a destructive wind.
耶和华如此说: 我必使毁灭的风刮起, 攻击巴比伦和住在立加米的人.

51:2 And I will send winnowers to Babylon, and they will winnow her, and they will lay waste her land, for they will be against her from all sides on the day of disaster.
我要打发外邦人来到巴比伦, 簸扬她, 使她的地空虚. 在她遭祸的日子, 他们要周围攻击她.

51:3 Let not him who bends the bow shoot his bow, and let him not rise high in his body armor. And you must not spare her young men; destroy her whole army.
拉弓的, 要向拉弓的和贯甲挺身的射箭. 不要怜惜她的少年人; 要灭尽她的全军.

51:4 And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
他们必在迦勒底人之地被杀仆倒, 在巴比伦的街上被刺透.

51:5 For neither Israel nor Judah is a widower from their God, from Yahweh of hosts, though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.”
以色列和犹大虽然境内充满违背以色列圣者的罪, 却没有被他的神─万军之耶和华丢弃.

51:6 Flee from the midst of Babylon and save each one his life. You must not perish because of her guilt. For this is the time of vengeance for Yahweh, he will repay her what is deserved.
你们要从巴比伦中逃奔, 各救自己的性命! 不要陷在她的罪孽中一同灭亡; 因为这是耶和华报仇的时候, 他必向巴比伦施行报应.

51:7 Babylon was a cup of gold in the hand of Yahweh, making drunk all the earth. The nations drank of her wine. Therefore the nations acted like madmen.
巴比伦素来是耶和华手中的金杯, 使天下沉醉; 万国喝了她的酒就颠狂了.

51:8 Suddenly Babylon has fallen and she is shattered. Wail over her! Take balm for her wounds, perhaps she may be healed.
巴比伦忽然倾覆毁坏; 要为她哀号; 为止她的疼痛, 拿乳香或者可以治好.

51:9 We tried to heal Babylon, and she was not healed. Forsake her and let us go each one to his country, for her judgment has reached to the heavens, and it has been lifted up to the skies.
我们想医治巴比伦, 她却没有治好. 离开她吧! 我们各人归回本国; 因为她受的审判通于上天, 达到穹苍.

51:10 Yahweh has brought forth our vindication. Come and let us make known in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.
耶和华已经彰显我们的公义. 来吧! 我们可以在锡安报告耶和华─我们神的作为.

你们要磨尖了箭头, 抓住盾牌. 耶和华定意攻击巴比伦, 将她毁灭, 所以激动了玛代君王的心; 因这是耶和华报仇, 就是为自己的殿报仇.

51:12 Against the walls of Babylon raise a banner; post a strong watch, post watchmen, prepare the ambushes, for Yahweh has both planned as well as performed what he has spoken concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
你们要竖立大旗, 攻击巴比伦的城墙; 要坚固瞭望台, 派定守望的设下埋伏; 因为耶和华指著巴比伦居民所说的话,所定的意, 他已经作成.

51:13 O you who live by mighty waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your life.
住在众水之上多有财宝的啊, 你的结局到了! 你贪婪之量满了!

51:14 Yahweh of hosts has sworn by himself, “Surely I will fill you with troops like the creeping locusts, and they will sing over you a war cry.”
万军之耶和华指著自己起誓说: 我必使敌人充满你, 像蚂蚱一样; 他们必呐喊攻击你.

51:15 He is the one who made the earth by his power, the one who created the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
耶和华用能力创造大地, 用智慧建立世界, 用聪明铺张穹苍.

51:16 At the giving of his voice there is a roar of waters in the heavens, and he causes the patches of mist to go up from the end of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings out the wind from his storehouses.
他一发声, 空中便有多水激动; 他使云雾从地极上腾. 他造电随雨而闪, 从他府库中带出风来.

51:17 All humankind turns out to be stupid, without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by the divine image. For his cast image is a lie, and there is no breath in them.
各人都成了畜类, 毫无知识. 各银匠都因他的偶像羞愧; 他所铸的偶像本是虚假的, 其中并无气息,

51:18 They are worthless, a work of mockery. At the time of their punishment, they will perish.
都是虚无的, 是迷惑人的工作, 到追讨的时候, 必被除灭.

51:19 The portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the creator of everything, and the tribe of his inheritance. Yahweh of hosts is his name.
雅各的分不像这些, 因他是造作万有的主; 以色列也是他产业的支派. 万军之耶和华是他的名.

51:20 He says, “You are a war club for me, a weapon of battle, and I smash nations with you, and I destroy kingdoms with you.
你是我争战的斧子和打仗的兵器; 我要用你打碎列国, 用你毁灭列邦;

51:24 And I will repay Babylon, and all the inhabitants of Chaldea, all their wickedness that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: “我必在你们眼前报复巴比伦人和迦勒底居民在锡安所行的诸恶. ”

51:25 “Look, I am against you, O mountain of the destruction,” declares Yahweh, “the one that destroys the whole earth. And I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will roll you down from the cliffs, and I will make you as a mountain burned away.
耶和华说: 你这行毁灭的山哪, 就是毁灭天下的山, 我与你反对. 我必向你伸手, 将你从山岩滚下去, 使你成为烧毁的山.

要在境内竖立大旗, 在各国中吹角, 使列国预备攻击巴比伦, 将亚拉腊,米尼,亚实基拿各国招来攻击她; 又派军长来攻击她, 使马匹上来如蚂蚱,

51:28 Prepare the nations for holy war against her, the kings of the Medes, with their governors and all their officials, and every land of their dominion.
使列国和玛代君王, 与省长和副省长, 并他们所管全地之人, 都预备攻击她.

51:29 And the land quakes and writhes, for the plans of Yahweh against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon as a horror, without inhabitant.
地必震动而瘠苦; 因耶和华向巴比伦所定的旨意成立了, 使巴比伦之地荒凉, 无人居住.

51:30 The warriors of Babylon have ceased to fight, they remain in the strongholds, their power has dried up, they have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire, her bars are broken.
巴比伦的勇士止息争战, 藏在坚垒之中. 他们的勇力衰尽, 好像妇女一样. 巴比伦的住处有火著起, 门闩都折断了.

51:31 one runner runs to meet another runner, and one messenger to meet another messenger, to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been captured, from end to end.
跑报的要彼此相遇, 送信的要互相迎接, 报告巴比伦王说: 城的四方被攻取了,

51:32 And the fords have been seized, and the reed marshes have been burned with fire, and the soldiers are horrified.
渡口被占据了, 苇塘被火烧了, 兵丁也惊慌了.

51:33 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trodden down, just a little while and the time of the harvest will come for her.”
万军之耶和华─以色列的神如此说: 巴比伦城(原文作女子)好像踹谷的禾场; 再过片时, 收割她的时候就到了.

51:34 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me and sucked me dry; he has made me an empty vessel; he has swallowed me like the sea monster; he has filled his belly with my delicacies; he has rinsed me.
以色列人说: 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒吞灭我, 压碎我, 使我成为空虚的器皿. 他像大鱼将我吞下, 用我的美物充满他的肚腹, 又将我赶出去.

锡安的居民要说: 巴比伦以强暴待我, 损害我的身体, 愿这罪归给她. 耶路撒冷人要说: 愿流我们血的罪归到迦勒底的居民.

我的民哪, 你们要从其中出去! 各人拯救自己, 躲避耶和华的烈怒.

51:46 Now so that you are not fainthearted, and you are afraid at the rumors that are heard in the land— and in the year the rumor comes, and in the year after it the rumor, and violence is in the land, with ruler against ruler—
你们不要心惊胆怯, 也不要因境内所听见的风声惧怕; 因为这年有风声传来; 那年也有风声传来, 境内有强暴的事, 官长攻击官长.

51:50 Survivors of the sword, go! You must not linger! Remember Yahweh from far away, and let Jerusalem come to your mind.
你们躲避刀剑的要快走, 不要站住! 要在远方记念耶和华, 心中追想耶路撒冷.

耶和华说: 日子将到, 我必刑罚巴比伦雕刻的偶像, 通国受伤的人必唉哼.

51:59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, at his going with Zedekiah, the king of Judah, to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was the quartermaster.
犹大王西底家在位第四年, 上巴比伦去的时候, 玛西雅的孙子,尼利亚的儿子西莱雅与王同去(西莱雅是王宫的大臣), 先知耶利米有话吩咐他.

51:60 And Jeremiah wrote all the disasters that would come on Babylon in one scroll, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
耶利米将一切要临到巴比伦的灾祸, 就是论到巴比伦的一切话, 写在书上.

51:61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, “At your coming to Babylon, then you must see that you read aloud all these words.
耶利米对西莱雅说: “你到了巴比伦务要念这书上的话;

51:62 And you must say, ‘Yahweh, you yourself spoke against this place, to destroy it, so that there will not be in it anything living, from humankind to animals, for it will be an everlasting desolation.’
又说: ‘耶和华啊, 你曾论到这地方说: 要剪除, 甚至连人带牲畜没有在这里居住的, 必永远荒凉. ’

51:63 And then when you finish reading aloud this scroll, you must tie a stone on it, and you must throw it into the middle of the Euphrates.
你念完了这书, 就把一块石头拴在书上, 扔在幼发拉底河中,

51:64 And you must say, ‘Babylon will sink, and she will not rise, because of the face of the disasters that I am bringing on her, and they will grow weary.’ ” Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
说: ‘巴比伦因耶和华所要降与她的灾祸, 必如此沉下去, 不再兴起, 人民也必困乏. ’”耶利米的话到此为止.

Jeremiah - Chapter 52

52:1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old at his beginning to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
西底家登基的时候年二十一岁, 在耶路撒冷作王十一年. 他母亲名叫哈慕他, 是立拿人耶利米的女儿.

52:2 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh like all that Jehoiakim had done.
西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事, 是照约雅敬一切所行的.

52:3 For because of the anger of Yahweh this happened in Jerusalem and Judah until his casting them from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作, 以致将人民从自己的面前赶出.

52:4 And then in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against Jerusalem, he and all his army. And they laid siege to it, and built siege works against it all around.
西底家背叛巴比伦王. 他作王第九年十月初十日, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来攻击耶路撒冷, 对城安营, 四围筑垒攻城.

52:5 So the city came under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
于是城被围困直到西底家王十一年.

52:6 In the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the famine in the city became severe and there was no food for the people of the land.
四月初九日, 城里有大饥荒, 甚至百姓都没有粮食.

52:7 Then the city was breached, and all the soldiers fled and went out from the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls that are at the garden of the king, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And they went in the direction of the Jordan Valley.
城被攻破, 一切兵丁就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门, 出城逃跑; 迦勒底人正在四围攻城. 他们就往亚拉巴逃去.

52:8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him.
迦勒底的军队追赶西底家王, 在耶利哥的平原追上他. 他的全军都离开他四散了.

52:9 Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.
迦勒底人就拿住王, 带他到在哈马地利比拉的巴比伦王那里; 巴比伦王便审判他.

52:10 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also slaughtered all the officials of Judah at Riblah.
巴比伦王在西底家眼前杀了他的众子, 又在利比拉杀了犹大的一切首领,

52:11 Then he made blind the eyes of Zedekiah, and they tied him up with bronze fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon. And he put him in prison until the day of his death.
并且剜了西底家的眼睛, 用铜炼锁着他, 带到巴比伦去, 将他囚在监里, 直到他死的日子.

52:12 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, entered into Jerusalem.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日, 在巴比伦王面前侍立的护卫长尼布撒拉旦进入耶路撒冷,

52:13 And he burned the temple of Yahweh, and the palace of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house he burned with fire.
用火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫, 又焚烧耶路撒冷的房屋, 就是各大户家的房屋.

52:14 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
跟从护卫长迦勒底的全军就拆毁耶路撒冷四围的城墙.

52:15 And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard deported some of the poor of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and the deserters who deserted to the king of Babylon, along with the rest of the craftsmen.
那时护卫长尼布撒拉旦将民中最穷的和城里所剩下的百姓, 并已经投降巴比伦王的人, 以及大众所剩下的人, 都掳去了.

52:16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the land to serve as vinedressers and farmers.
但护卫长尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最穷的, 使他们修理葡萄园, 耕种田地.

52:17 And the Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the temple of Yahweh, and the kettle stands and the sea of bronze that were in the temple of Yahweh, and they carried all their bronze to Babylon.
耶和华殿的铜柱并殿内的盆座和铜海, 迦勒底人都打碎了, 将那铜运到巴比伦去了,

52:18 And they took with them the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the sprinkling bowls, and the pans, and all the vessels of bronze which were used in temple service.
又带去锅,铲子,蜡剪,盘子,调羹, 并所用的一切铜器,

52:19 And the captain of the guard took the bowls, and the firepans, and the sprinkling bowls, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the pans, and the libation bowls, those made of solid gold and those made of solid silver.
杯,火鼎,碗,盆,灯台,调羹,爵, 无论金的银的, 护卫长也都带去了.

52:20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze oxen that were under the kettle stands which King Solomon had made for the temple of Yahweh—there was not a weight for the bronze of all these vessels!
所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱,一个铜海, 并座下的十二只铜牛, 这一切的铜多得无法可称.

52:21 Now the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a thread of twelve cubits surrounded it, and its thickness was four fingers, hollowed out.
这一根柱子高十八肘, 厚四指, 是空的, 围十二肘.

52:22 And a capital upon it was bronze and the height of the one capital was five cubits, and latticework and pomegranates were on the capital on all sides, all of bronze. And like these was the second pillar with pomegranates.
柱上有铜顶, 高五肘; 铜顶的周围有网子和石榴, 都是铜的. 那一根柱子照此一样, 也有石榴.

52:23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates on the latticework on all sides were a hundred.
柱子四面有九十六个石榴, 在网子周围, 共有一百石榴.

52:24 Then the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and three keepers of the threshold.
护卫长拿住大祭司西莱雅,副祭司西番亚, 和三个把门的,

52:25 And from the city he took one high official who was chief officer over the soldiers, and seven men of the king’s advisors who were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander of the army who levied for military service the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city.
又从城中拿住一个管理兵丁的官(或译: 太监), 并在城里所遇常见王面的七个人和检点国民军长的书记, 以及城里所遇见的国民六十个人.

52:26 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦将这些人带到利比拉的巴比伦王那里.

52:27 And the king of Babylon struck them down and killed them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah left from its land.
巴比伦王就把他们击杀在哈马地的利比拉. 这样, 犹大人被掳去离开本地.

52:28 This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar deported: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Judeans;
尼布甲尼撒所掳的民数记在下面: 在他第七年掳去犹大人三千零二十三名;

52:29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred and thirty-two persons from Jerusalem;
尼布甲尼撒十八年从耶路撒冷掳去八百三十二人;

52:30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, deported seven hundred and forty-five Judean persons; there were four thousand six hundred persons in all.
尼布甲尼撒二十三年, 护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去犹大人七百四十五名; 共有四千六百人.

52:31 And then in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, the king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and brought him out from prison.
犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年, 巴比伦王以未米罗达元年十二月二十五日, 使犹大王约雅斤抬头, 提他出监,

Lamentations (耶利米哀歌)

Lamentations - Chapter 1

1:1 How desolate the city sits that was full of people! She has become like a widow, once great among the nations! Like a woman of nobility in the provinces, she has become a forced laborer.
先前满有人民的城, 现在何竟独坐! 先前在列国中为大的, 现在竟如寡妇; 先前在诸省中为王后的, 现在成为进贡的.

1:2 She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears are on her cheeks; she has no comforter among all her lovers. All her friends have been unfaithful to her; they have become her enemies.
她夜间痛哭, 泪流满腮; 在一切所亲爱的中间没有一个安慰她的. 她的朋友都以诡诈待她, 成为她的仇敌.

1:3 Judah has gone into exile with misery and under hard servitude; she lives among the nations, she has not found a resting place; all her pursuers have overtaken her amidst her distress.
犹大因遭遇苦难, 又因多服劳苦就迁到外邦. 她住在列国中, 寻不著安息; 追逼她的都在狭窄之地将她追上.

1:4 The roads of Zion are mourning because no one comes to the festival. All her gates are desolate, her priests groan; her young women are worried, and she herself suffers bitterly.
锡安的路径因无人来守圣节就悲伤; 她的城门凄凉; 她的祭司叹息; 她的处女受艰难, 自己也愁苦.

1:5 Her foes have become her master, her enemies are at ease; Yahweh has made her suffer because of the greatness of her transgressions. Her children have gone away, captive before the foe.
她的敌人为首; 她的仇敌亨通; 因耶和华为她许多的罪过使她受苦; 她的孩童被敌人掳去.

1:6 All her majesty has gone away from the daughter of Zion; her princes have become like young stags that have not found pasture; they have gone away without strength, before the pursuer.
锡安城(原文是女子; 下同)的威荣全都失去. 她的首领像找不著草场的鹿; 在追赶的人前无力行走.

1:7 Jerusalem remembers the days of her misery and wanderings, all her treasures that were from the days of long ago. When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, there was no one helping her; the enemies saw her, they mocked at her destruction.
耶路撒冷在困苦窘迫之时, 就追想古时一切的乐境. 她百姓落在敌人手中, 无人救济; 敌人看见, 就因她的荒凉嗤笑.

1:8 Jerusalem sinned grievously, thus she became an objection of derision; all those who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness. She herself groans and turns away.
耶路撒冷大大犯罪, 所以成为不洁之物; 素来尊敬她的, 见她赤露就都藐视她; 她自己也叹息退后.

1:9 Her uncleanness was in her skirts; she did not remember her future, she has descended beyond understanding, there is no comforter for her. See, O Yahweh, my persecution! My enemy has been made great!
她的污秽是在衣襟上; 她不思想自己的结局, 所以非常地败落, 无人安慰她. 她说: 耶和华啊, 求你看我的苦难, 因为仇敌夸大.

1:10 The enemy has stretched out his hand over all her treasures; for she has seen the nations, they entered her sanctuary, those whom you commanded not to enter in your assembly.
敌人伸手, 夺取她的美物; 她眼见外邦人进入她的圣所─论这外邦人, 你曾吩咐不可入你的会中.

1:11 All her people groan, they are searching for bread. They give their treasures for food, to bring back life. See, O Yahweh, and look, how I am despised.
她的民都叹息, 寻求食物; 他们用美物换粮食, 要救性命. 他们说: 耶和华啊, 求你观看, 因为我甚是卑贱.

1:12 Is it nothing to you, all who pass by? Look and see if there is sorrow like my sorrow, which was dealt to me, which Yahweh inflicted on the day of his wrath.
你们一切过路的人哪, 这事你们不介意吗? 你们要观看: 有像这临到我的痛苦没有─就是耶和华在他发烈怒的日子使我所受的苦?

1:13 From heaven he sent fire, into my bones he let it descend. He spread out a net for my feet; he turned me back, he gave me devastation, fainting all day.
他从高天使火进入我的骨头, 克制了我; 他铺下网罗, 绊我的脚, 使我转回; 他使我终日凄凉发昏.

1:14 My rebellion was bound as a yoke, with his hand it was fastened together; it was put on my neck and caused my strength to fail. The Lord gave me into the hands of those whom I cannot withstand.
我罪过的轭是他手所绑的, 犹如轭绳缚在我颈项上; 他使我的力量衰败. 主将我交在我所不能敌挡的人手中.

1:15 The Lord has rejected all my mighty ones in my midst. He called an assembly against me, to crush my young men; like in a wine press, the Lord has trodden on the virgin daughter of Judah.
主轻弃我中间的一切勇士, 招聚多人(原文是大会)攻击我, 要压碎我的少年人. 主将犹大居民踹下, 像在酒醡中一样.

1:16 For these things, I am weeping, my eyes flow with tears; because a comforter is far from me, one to restore my life. My sons are desolate because the enemy has prevailed.
我因这些事哭泣; 我眼泪汪汪; 因为那当安慰我,救我性命的, 离我甚远. 我的儿女孤苦, 因为仇敌得了胜.

1:17 Zion stretches out her hands; there is no one to comfort her. Yahweh has commanded against Jacob, that those surrounding him should be his enemies; Jerusalem has become a defilement among them.
锡安举手, 无人安慰. 耶和华论雅各已经出令, 使四围的人作他仇敌; 耶路撒冷在他们中间像不洁之物.

1:18 Yahweh is righteous; I have rebelled against his word. Please hear, all the nations, And see my pain; My young women and young men went into captivity.
耶和华是公义的! 他这样待我, 是因我违背他的命令. 众民哪, 请听我的话, 看我的痛苦; 我的处女和少年人都被掳去.

1:19 I have called to my lovers, they themselves deceived me; my priests and elders perished in the city when they sought food for themselves to revive their life.
我招呼我所亲爱的, 他们却愚弄我. 我的祭司和长老正寻求食物,救性命的时候, 就在城中绝气.

1:20 See, O Yahweh, that I am in distress; my stomach is in torment, my heart has turned inside me because I have certainly rebelled. From outside a sword brings bereavement, inside the house it is like death.
耶和华啊, 求你观看, 因为我在急难中. 我心肠扰乱; 我心在我里面翻转, 因我大大悖逆. 在外, 刀剑使人丧子; 在家, 犹如死亡.

1:21 They hear that I was groaning; there is no comforter for me. All my enemies have heard my misery, they are pleased that you have done it. Bring that day that you have proclaimed, And let them be like me.
听见我叹息的有人; 安慰我的却无人! 我的仇敌都听见我所遭的患难; 因你做这事, 他们都喜乐. 你必使你报告的日子来到, 他们就像我一样.

1:22 Let all their evil come before you; and deal with them just as you have dealt with me because of all my crimes; for my groaning is much and my heart is faint.
愿他们的恶行都呈在你面前; 你怎样因我的一切罪过待我, 求你照样待他们; 因我叹息甚多, 心中发昏.

Lamentations - Chapter 2

2:1 How, in his anger, the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion in a cloud! He has thrown down from heavens to earth the splendor of Israel, and he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
主何竟发怒, 使黑云遮蔽锡安城! 他将以色列的华美从天扔在地上; 在他发怒的日子并不记念自己的脚凳.

2:2 The Lord has devoured; he has not shown mercy to all the dwellings of Jacob; he has broken down in his wrath the fortifications of the daughter of Judah; he has leveled to the ground, he has dishonored the kingdom and its commanders.
主吞灭雅各一切的住处, 并不顾惜. 他发怒倾覆犹大民的保障, 使这保障坍倒在地; 他辱没这国和其中的首领.

2:3 He has cut down in fierce anger all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn his right hand from the faces of the enemy, and he has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire, it has consumed all around.
他发烈怒, 把以色列的角全然砍断, 在仇敌面前收回右手. 他像火焰四围吞灭, 将雅各烧毁.

2:4 He has bent his bow like an enemy; he has set his right hand like a foe, and he has slain all the treasures of the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion, he has poured out his anger like fire.
他张弓好像仇敌; 他站着举起右手, 如同敌人将悦人眼目的, 尽行杀戮. 在锡安百姓的帐棚上倒出他的忿怒, 像火一样.

2:5 The Lord has become like an enemy; he has destroyed Israel; he has destroyed all its citadel fortresses; he has ruined all its fortifications and multiplied lamentation and mourning in the daughter of Judah.
主如仇敌吞灭以色列和锡安的一切宫殿, 拆毁百姓的保障; 在犹大民中加增悲伤哭号.

2:6 He has broken down his dwelling place like the garden; he has ruined his appointed feasts; Yahweh has made them forget in Zion festival and Sabbath, and he has despised in his anger king and priest.
他强取自己的帐幕, 好像是园中的窝棚, 毁坏他的聚会之处. 耶和华使圣节和安息日在锡安都被忘记, 又在怒气的愤恨中藐视君王和祭司.

2:7 The Lord has rejected his altar; he has rejected his sanctuary; he has delivered into the hands of the enemy the walls of its citadel fortresses. They have cried out in the house of Yahweh like a day of an appointed feast.
耶和华丢弃自己的祭坛, 憎恶自己的圣所, 将宫殿的墙垣交付仇敌. 他们在耶和华的殿中喧嚷, 像在圣会之日一样.

2:8 Yahweh has planned to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He measured with a line; he has not restrained his hand from destroying; he caused rampart and wall to mourn; together they have languished away.
耶和华定意拆毁锡安的城墙; 他拉了准绳, 不将手收回, 定要毁灭. 他使外郭和城墙都悲哀, 一同衰败.

2:9 Her gates have sunk into the earth; he has ruined and broken her bars, her kings and its princes are among the nations; there is no more law. Also, her prophets have not found a revelation from Yahweh.
锡安的门都陷入地内; 主将她的门闩毁坏, 折断. 她的君王和首领落在没有律法的列国中; 她的先知不得见耶和华的异象.

2:10 They sit on the ground, the elders of the daughter of Zion are silent. They cast dust on their head, they have put on sackcloth; the young women of Jerusalem have bowed their head down to the ground.
锡安城的长老坐在地上默默无声; 他们扬起尘土落在头上, 腰束麻布; 耶路撒冷的处女垂头至地.

2:11 My eyes have spent all their tears; my stomach is in torment, my heart is poured out on the earth because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because child and babe faint in the public squares of a city.
我眼中流泪, 以致失明; 我的心肠扰乱, 肝胆涂地, 都因我众民遭毁灭, 又因孩童和吃奶的在城内街上发昏.

2:12 To their mothers they say, “Where is the bread and wine?” as they faint like the wounded in the public squares of a city, as their life is being poured out onto the bosom of their mothers.
那时, 他们在城内街上发昏, 好像受伤的, 在母亲的怀里, 将要丧命; 对母亲说: 谷,酒在哪里呢?

2:13 What can I say for you? What can I compare to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I liken you so that I can comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your destruction is as vast as the sea; who can heal you?
耶路撒冷的民哪, 我可用甚么向你证明呢? 我可用甚么与你相比呢? 锡安的民哪, 我可拿甚么和你比较, 好安慰你呢? 因为你的裂口大如海, 谁能医治你呢?

2:14 Your prophets had a vision for you, false and worthless; they have not exposed your sin, to restore your fortune; they have seen oracles for you, false and misleading.
你的先知为你见虚假和愚昧的异象, 并没有显露你的罪孽, 使你被掳的归回; 却为你见虚假的默示和使你被赶出本境的缘故.

2:15 They clap hands over you, all who pass along the way; they hiss and they shake their head, at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city of which it is said, “A perfection of beauty, a joy for all the earth?”
凡过路的都向你拍掌. 他们向耶路撒冷城嗤笑, 摇头, 说: 难道人所称为全美的, 称为全地所喜悦的, 就是这城吗?

2:16 They have opened their mouths against you, all your enemies. They hiss and gnash a tooth, and they say, “We have destroyed her! Surely this is the day we have hoped for; we have found it, we have seen it!”
你的仇敌都向你大大张口; 他们嗤笑, 又切齿说: 我们吞灭她. 这真是我们所盼望的日子临到了! 我们亲眼看见了!

2:17 Yahweh has done what he has planned; he has fulfilled his promise that he ordained from the days of old; he has demolished and not shown mercy; he has made an enemy rejoice over you, he has exalted the might of your foes.
耶和华成就了他所定的, 应验了他古时所命定的. 他倾覆了, 并不顾惜, 使你的仇敌向你夸耀; 使你敌人的角也被高举.

2:18 Their heart cried to the Lord, “O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears stream down like a river; day and night, do not give yourself relief, do not give your eyes rest.
锡安民的心哀求主. 锡安的城墙啊, 愿你流泪如河, 昼夜不息; 愿你眼中的瞳人泪流不止.

2:19 “Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches; pour out your heart like water, before the face of the Lord. Lift to him your hands, for the life of your children, who faint in starvation, at the head of all streets.”
夜间, 每逢交更的时候要起来呼喊, 在主面前倾心如水. 你的孩童在各市口上受饿发昏; 你要为他们的性命向主举手祷告.

2:20 See, Yahweh, and take note! With whom have you dealt thus? Should women eat their young children of tender care? Should priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
耶和华啊, 求你观看! 见你向谁这样行? 妇人岂可吃自己所生育手里所摇弄的婴孩吗? 祭司和先知岂可在主的圣所中被杀戮吗?

2:21 They lie in the soil of the streets, young and old; my young women and young men, they have fallen by the sword; you have slain on the day of your anger, you have slaughtered and not shown mercy.
少年人和老年人都在街上躺卧; 我的处女和壮丁都倒在刀下; 你发怒的日子杀死他们. 你杀了, 并不顾惜.

2:22 You have summoned my horror from all around, as if for a feast day; no one on the day of Yahweh’s anger is a fugitive and a survivor; whoever I have cared for and reared, my enemy has destroyed.
你招聚四围惊吓我的, 像在大会的日子招聚人一样. 耶和华发怒的日子, 无人逃脱, 无人存留. 我所摇弄所养育的婴孩, 仇敌都杀净了.

野狗尚且把奶乳哺其子, 我民的妇人倒成为残忍, 好像旷野的鸵鸟一般.

都因我众民的罪孽比所多玛的罪还大; 所多玛虽然无人加手于她, 还是转眼之间被倾覆.

锡安的贵冑素来比雪纯净, 比奶更白; 他们的身体比红宝玉(或译: 珊瑚)更红, 像光润的蓝宝石一样.

人向他们喊著说: 不洁净的, 躲开, 躲开! 不要挨近我! 他们逃走飘流的时候, 列国中有人说: 他们不可仍在这里寄居.

耶和华发怒, 将他们分散, 不再眷顾他们; 人不重看祭司, 也不厚待长老.

4:17 Still our eyes failed, looking for our help in vain; in our watchtower, we kept watch for a nation that could not save.
我们仰望人来帮助, 以致眼目失明, 还是枉然; 我们所盼望的, 竟盼望一个不能救人的国!

4:18 They hunted our steps, from walking in our streets; our end has come near, our days are finished, our end has come.
仇敌追赶我们的脚步像打猎的, 以致我们不敢在自己的街上行走. 我们的结局临近; 我们的日子满足; 我们的结局来到了.

4:19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they chased us on the mountains, they have set an ambush for us in the desert.
追赶我们的比空中的鹰更快; 他们在山上追逼我们, 在旷野埋伏, 等候我们.

4:20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed one of Yahweh, was captured in their pits; of whom we said, “In his shadow we will live among the nations.”
耶和华的受膏者好比我们鼻中的气, 在他们的坑中被捉住; 我们曾论到他说: 我们必在他荫下, 在列国中存活.

4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, you who dwell in the land of Uz; but to you also the cup will pass, you will become drunk and strip yourself bare.
住乌斯地的以东民哪, 只管欢喜快乐; 苦杯也必传到你那里; 你必喝醉, 以致露体.

4:22 The punishment of your iniquity is completed, O daughter of Zion, your exile will not continue; but he will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he will reveal your sins.
锡安的民哪, 你罪孽的刑罚受足了, 耶和华必不使你再被掳去. 以东的民哪, 他必追讨你的罪孽, 显露你的罪恶.

5:12 They hang princes by their hand; they do not show respect before elders.
他们吊起首领的手, 也不尊敬老人的面.

5:13 Young men must carry a hand-mill and boys stumble under the wood.
少年人扛磨石, 孩童背木柴, 都绊跌了.

5:14 Elders are no longer at the gate, young men no longer play stringed instruments.
老年人在城门口断绝; 少年人不再作乐.

这些事我们心里发昏, 我们的眼睛昏花.

5:18 Because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, foxes tread on it.
锡安山荒凉, 野狗(或译: 狐狸)行在其上.

5:19 You, O Yahweh, will sit forever on your throne for generation to generation.

你竟全然弃绝我们, 向我们大发烈怒?

Ezekiel (以西结书)

Ezekiel - Chapter 1

1:1 And it was in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, and I was in the midst of the exiles by the Kebar River. The heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
当三十年四月初五日, 以西结(原文是我)在迦巴鲁河边被掳的人中, 天就开了, 得见神的异象.

1:2 On the fifth day of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of the king Jehoiachin—
正是约雅斤王被掳去第五年四月初五日,

1:3 the word of Yahweh came clearly to Ezekiel the son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans at the Kebar River, and the hand of Yahweh was on him there.
在迦勒底人之地,迦巴鲁河边, 耶和华的话特特临到布西的儿子祭司以西结; 耶和华的灵(原文是手)降在他身上.

1:4 And I looked, and look! A storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud, and fire flashing back and forth, and brightness around and within it, and from its midst it was like the outward appearance of amber stone from the midst of the fire.
我观看, 见狂风从北方刮来, 随着有一朵包括闪烁火的大云, 周围有光辉; 从其中的火内发出好像光耀的精金;

1:5 And from its midst was the likeness of four living creatures, and this was their appearance: a human form,
又从其中显出四个活物的形像来. 他们的形状是这样: 有人的形像,

1:6 and each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.
各有四个脸面, 四个翅膀.

1:7 And their legs were straight legs, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they were sparkling like the outward appearance of polished bronze.
他们的腿是直的, 脚掌好像牛犊之蹄, 都灿烂如光明的铜.

1:8 And under their wings were human hands on their four sides. And their faces and their wings for the four of them were as follows:
在四面的翅膀以下有人的手. 这四个活物的脸和翅膀乃是这样:

1:9 their wings were touching one another; each of them went straight forward, without turning right or left.
翅膀彼此相接, 行走并不转身, 俱各直往前行.

1:10 The likeness of their faces was the face of a human in front, and the face of a lion on the right of each of them, and the face of an ox on the left of each of them, and the face of an eagle for each of them.
至于脸的形像: 前面各有人的脸, 右面各有狮子的脸, 左面各有牛的脸, 后面各有鹰的脸.

1:11 So were their faces; their wings were spread out upward; each had two touching one another and two covering their bodies.
各展开上边的两个翅膀相接, 各以下边的两个翅膀遮体.

1:12 And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit went they went, and they did not turn as they went.
他们俱各直往前行. 灵往哪里去, 他们就往那里去, 行走并不转身.

1:13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It was moving to and fro between the living creatures, and the fire was very bright and lightning was going out from the fire.
至于四活物的形像, 就如烧着火炭的形状, 又如火把的形状. 火在四活物中间上去下来, 这火有光辉, 从火中发出闪电.

1:14 And the living creatures were speeding to and fro like the appearance of lightning.
这活物往来奔走, 好像电光一闪.

1:15 And I saw the living creatures, and look! A wheel was on the earth beside each of the living creatures that had four faces.
我正观看活物的时候, 见活物的脸旁各有一轮在地上.

1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like the appearance of beryl, and they all looked alike, and their appearance and their construction was like a wheel within a wheel.
轮的形状和颜色(原文是作法)好像水苍玉. 四轮都是一个样式, 形状和作法好像轮中套轮.

1:17 When they moved, they went toward their four sides; they did not veer at all as they went.
轮行走的时候, 向四方都能直行, 并不掉转.

1:18 And their rims were high and awesome, and all four of their rims were full of eyes all around.
至于轮辋, 高而可畏; 四个轮辋周围满有眼睛.

1:19 And at the going of the living creatures, the wheels next to them also went, and when the creatures were lifted from the ground the wheels also rose.
活物行走, 轮也在旁边行走; 活物从地上升, 轮也都上升.

1:20 Wherever the spirit went they would go there, and the wheels rose, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
灵往哪里去, 活物就往那里去; 活物上升, 轮也在活物旁边上升, 因为活物的灵在轮中.

1:21 At their going, they go, and at their standing, they stood, and at their being lifted up from on the earth, the wheels rose, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
那些行走, 这些也行走; 那些站住, 这些也站住; 那些从地上升, 轮也在旁边上升, 因为活物的灵在轮中.

1:22 Now the likeness above the heads of the living creatures was an expanse like the outward appearance of awesome ice spread out above their heads upward.
活物的头以上有穹苍的形像, 看着像可畏的水晶, 铺张在活物的头以上.

1:23 And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight one toward the other; each had two wings covering them, and each had two wings covering their bodies.
穹苍以下, 活物的翅膀直张, 彼此相对; 每活物有两个翅膀遮体.

1:24 And I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the voice of Shaddai, and when they moved there was a sound of tumult like the sound of an army; when they stood still they lowered their wings.
活物行走的时候, 我听见翅膀的响声, 像大水的声音, 像全能者的声音, 也像军队哄嚷的声音. 活物站住的时候, 便将翅膀垂下.

1:25 And there was a sound from above the expanse that was above their heads, and when they stood they lowered their wings.
在他们头以上的穹苍之上有声音. 他们站住的时候, 便将翅膀垂下.

1:26 And from above the expanse that was above their heads there was the likeness of a throne, looking like a sapphire, and above the likeness of the throne was a likeness similar to the appearance of a human on it, but above it.
在他们头以上的穹苍之上有宝座的形像, 仿佛蓝宝石; 在宝座形像以上有仿佛人的形状.

1:27 And I saw something like the outward appearance of amber, something like the appearance of fire, with a covering around it, from the likeness of his loins and upward. And from the likeness of his loins and downward I saw something like the appearance of fire, and it was radiant all around.
我见从他腰以上有仿佛光耀的精金, 周围都有火的形状, 又见从他腰以下有仿佛火的形状, 周围也有光辉.

1:28 Like the appearance of a bow that is in the cloud on a rainy day, such was the radiance around it; thus was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
下雨的日子, 云中虹的形状怎样, 周围光辉的形状也是怎样. 这就是耶和华荣耀的形像. 我一看见就俯伏在地, 又听见一位说话的声音.

Ezekiel - Chapter 2

2:1 And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, so that I can speak with you.”
他对我说: “人子啊, 你站起来, 我要和你说话. ”

2:2 And the Spirit came into me as he was speaking to me, and it set me on my feet, and I heard the one speaking to me.
他对我说话的时候, 灵就进入我里面, 使我站起来, 我便听见那位对我说话的声音.

2:3 And he said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to nations who are rebelling, who rebelled against me, they and their ancestors, they transgressed against me until this very day.
他对我说: “人子啊, 我差你往悖逆的国民以色列人那里去. 他们是悖逆我的, 他们和他们的列祖违背我, 直到今日.

2:4 And the children are impudent and stubborn, and so I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh!’
这众子面无羞耻, 心里刚硬. 我差你往他们那里去, 你要对他们说: 主耶和华如此说.

2:5 And they, whether they listen or whether they fail to listen, for they are a rebellious house, they will know that a prophet was in their midst.
他们或听, 或不听, (他们是悖逆之家), 必知道在他们中间有了先知.

2:6 And you, son of man, you must not be afraid of them, and you must not be afraid of their words, because briers and thorns are with you, and you are sitting among scorpions. You must not be afraid of their words, and you must not be dismayed because of their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
人子啊, 虽有荆棘和蒺藜在你那里, 你又住在蝎子中间, 总不要怕他们, 也不要怕他们的话; 他们虽是悖逆之家, 还不要怕他们的话, 也不要因他们的脸色惊惶.

2:7 And you must speak my words to them whether they listen or whether they fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
他们或听, 或不听, 你只管将我的话告诉他们; 他们是极其悖逆的.

2:8 And you, son of man, hear what I am speaking to you: you must not be rebellious like the house of rebellion. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving to you.”
人子啊, 要听我对你所说的话, 不要悖逆像那悖逆之家, 你要开口吃我所赐给你的. ”

2:9 And I looked, and look! There was a hand stretched out to me, and look! In it was a scroll with writing.
我观看, 见有一只手向我伸出来, 手中有一书卷.

2:10 And he rolled it out before me, and it was written on the front and back, and there were written on it laments and mourning and wailing.
他将书卷在我面前展开, 内外都写著字, 其上所写的有哀号,叹息,悲痛的话.

Ezekiel - Chapter 3

3:1 And he said to me, “Son of man, what you find, eat! Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
他对我说: “人子啊, 要吃你所得的, 要吃这书卷, 好去对以色列家讲说. ”

3:2 And I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat,
于是我开口, 他就使我吃这书卷,

3:3 and he said to me, “Son of man, you must give your stomach this to eat, and you must fill your belly with this scroll that I am giving to you.” And I ate, and it became like sweet honey in my mouth.
又对我说: “人子啊, 要吃我所赐给你的这书卷, 充满你的肚腹. ”我就吃了, 口中觉得其甜如蜜.

3:4 And he said to me, “Son of man, come! Go to the house of Israel, and you must speak to them with my words.
他对我说: “人子啊, 你往以色列家那里去, 将我的话对他们讲说.

3:5 For you are sent to the house of Israel, not to a people of obscure speech and of a difficult language,
你奉差遣不是往那说话深奥,言语难懂的民那里去, 乃是往以色列家去;

3:6 and not to many nations of obscure speech and a difficult language whose words you do not understand, for if I had sent you to them they would have listened to you.
不是往那说话深奥,言语难懂的多国去, 他们的话语是你不懂得的. 我若差你往他们那里去, 他们必听从你.

3:7 And the house of Israel, they are not willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me, for all of the house of Israel is hard of forehead, and they are hard of heart.
以色列家却不肯听从你, 因为他们不肯听从我; 原来以色列全家是额坚心硬的人.

3:8 But look, I have made your face hard against their faces and your forehead hard against their forehead.
看哪, 我使你的脸硬过他们的脸, 使你的额硬过他们的额.

3:9 Like a diamond harder than flint I have made your forehead; you must not fear them, and you must not be dismayed on account of them, for they are a rebellious house.
我使你的额像金钢钻, 比火石更硬. 他们虽是悖逆之家, 你不要怕他们, 也不要因他们的脸色惊惶. ”

3:10 And he said to me, “Son of man, all of my words that I shall speak to you, receive into your heart and hear with your ears.
他又对我说: “人子啊, 我对你所说的一切话, 要心里领会, 耳中听闻.

3:11 And come, go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and you must speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh!’ whether they listen or whether they fail to listen.”
你往你本国被掳的子民那里去, 他们或听, 或不听, 你要对他们讲说, 告诉他们这是主耶和华说的. ”

3:12 And the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake when the glory of Yahweh rose from its place.
那时, 灵将我举起, 我就听见在我身后有震动轰轰的声音, 说: “从耶和华的所在显出来的荣耀是该称颂的! ”

3:13 And it was the sound of the wings of the living creatures touching lightly one against the other, and the sound of the wheels beside them and the sound of a great earthquake.
我又听见那活物翅膀相碰, 与活物旁边轮子旋转震动轰轰的响声.

3:14 And the Spirit lifted me and took me, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Yahweh was strong on me.
于是灵将我举起, 带我而去. 我心中甚苦, 灵性忿激, 并且耶和华的灵(原文是手)在我身上大有能力.

3:15 And I went to the exiles at Tel Abib, who were dwelling near the Kebar River, and I sat where they were dwelling. I sat there seven days in the midst of them, stunned.
我就来到提勒‧亚毕, 住在迦巴鲁河边被掳的人那里, 到他们所住的地方, 在他们中间忧忧闷闷地坐了七日.

3:16 And then it happened at the end of seven days, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
过了七日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

3:17 “Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, then you must warn them from me.
“人子啊, 我立你作以色列家守望的人, 所以你要听我口中的话, 替我警戒他们.

3:18 When I say to the wicked, ‘Surely you will die,’ and you do not warn him and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live, that wicked person will die because of his guilt, and from your hand I will seek his blood.
我何时指著恶人说: 他必要死; 你若不警戒他, 也不劝戒他, 使他离开恶行, 拯救他的性命, 这恶人必死在罪孽之中; 我却要向你讨他丧命的罪(原文是血).

3:19 And you, if you do warn the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness and from his wicked way, on account of his guilt he will die, and you yourself will have saved your life.
倘若你警戒恶人, 他仍不转离罪恶, 也不离开恶行, 他必死在罪孽之中, 你却救自己脱离了罪.

3:20 And when the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, and I place a stumbling block before him, he will die, for you did not warn him. Because of his sin he will die, and his righteousness that he did will not be remembered, and his blood I shall seek from your hand.
再者, 义人何时离义而犯罪, 我将绊脚石放在他面前, 他就必死; 因你没有警戒他, 他必死在罪中, 他素来所行的义不被记念; 我却要向你讨他丧命的罪(原文是血).

3:21 And if you warn him, the righteous, not to sin, and the righteous does not sin, surely he will live, for he heeded a warning. And you will have saved your life.”
倘若你警戒义人, 使他不犯罪, 他就不犯罪; 他因受警戒就必存活, 你也救自己脱离了罪. ”

3:22 And the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Rise up, go out to the valley, and there I will speak with you.”
耶和华的灵(原文是手)在那里降在我身上. 他对我说: “你起来往平原去, 我要在那里和你说话. ”

3:23 And I rose up, and I went to the valley, and, look, there the glory of Yahweh was standing, like the glory that I saw near the Kebar River, and I fell on my face.
于是我起来往平原去, 不料, 耶和华的荣耀正如我在迦巴鲁河边所见的一样, 停在那里, 我就俯伏于地.

3:24 And the Spirit came into me, and it made me stand on my feet, and he spoke with me and said to me, “Come, shut yourself inside your house,
灵就进入我里面, 使我站起来. 耶和华对我说: “你进房屋去, 将门关上.

3:25 and you, son of man, look, they will place cords on you, and they will tie you up with them. Then you will not go out into the midst of them.
人子啊, 人必用绳索捆绑你, 你就不能出去在他们中间来往.

3:26 And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silenced, and you will not be a reproving man for them, for they are a rebellious house.
我必使你的舌头贴住上膛, 以致你哑口, 不能作责备他们的人; 他们原是悖逆之家.

3:27 And when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The one hearing him, let him hear, and the one failing to hear, let him fail,” ’ for they are a rebellious house.
但我对你说话的时候, 必使你开口, 你就要对他们说: ‘主耶和华如此说. ’听的可以听, 不听的任他不听, 因为他们是悖逆之家. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 4

4:1 “Now, son of man, take for yourself a brick, and you must put it before you, and you must portray on it a city, Jerusalem.
“人子啊, 你要拿一块砖, 摆在你面前, 将一座耶路撒冷城画在其上,

4:2 And you must build against it siege works, and you must build against it a bulwark, and you must heap against it a siege ramp, and you must set up against it camps and put against it a battering ram all around.
又围困这城, 造台筑垒, 安营攻击, 在四围安设撞锤攻城,

4:3 And take for yourself a plate of iron, and you must place it as a wall of iron between you and the city, and you must set your face against it, and it must be under siege, and you must lay the siege against it; it is a sign for the house of Israel.
又要拿个铁鏊, 放在你和城的中间, 作为铁墙. 你要对面攻击这城, 使城被困; 这样, 好作以色列家的预兆.

4:4 And you, lie down on your left side, and you must put the guilt of the house of Israel on it. You will carry their guilt the number of days that you will lie on it.
你要向左侧卧, 承当以色列家的罪孽; 要按你向左侧卧的日数, 担当他们的罪孽.

4:5 And I will give to you the years of their guilt according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days, and you must bear the guilt of the house of Israel.
因为我已将他们作孽的年数定为你向左侧卧的日数, 就是三百九十日, 你要这样担当以色列家的罪孽.

4:6 When you have completed these, then you must lie a second time on your right side; and you must bear the guilt of the house of Judah forty days, a day for each year, a day for each year I give it to you.
再者, 你满了这些日子, 还要向右侧卧, 担当犹大家的罪孽. 我给你定规侧卧四十日, 一日顶一年.

4:7 And toward the siege of Jerusalem you must set your face and your bared arm; then you must prophesy against it.
你要露出膀臂, 面向被困的耶路撒冷, 说预言攻击这城.

4:8 Now look! I will put on you cords, and you may not turn yourself from one side to your other side until you complete the days of your siege.
我用绳索捆绑你, 使你不能辗转, 直等你满了困城的日子.

4:9 “And you, take for yourself wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt, and you must put them in one vessel, and you must make them for yourself into a food during the number of days that you are lying on your side; three hundred and ninety days you shall eat it.
你要取小麦,大麦,豆子,红豆,小米,粗麦, 装在一个器皿中, 用以为自己做饼; 要按你侧卧的三百九十日吃这饼.

4:10 And your food that you will eat will be according to weight; twenty shekels for each day at fixed times you shall eat it.
你所吃的要按分两吃, 每日二十舍客勒, 按时而吃.

4:11 And an amount of water you shall drink, a sixth of a hin; at fixed times you shall drink it.
你喝水也要按制子, 每日喝一欣六分之一, 按时而喝.

4:12 And as a bread-cake of barley you shall eat it, and with human excrement you shall bake it before their eyes.”
你吃这饼像吃大麦饼一样, 要用人粪在众人眼前烧烤. ”

4:13 And Yahweh said, “Thus shall the Israelites eat their unclean food among the nations where I will scatter them.”
耶和华说: “以色列人在我所赶他们到的各国中, 也必这样吃不洁净的食物. ”

4:14 And I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look! I have not been defiling myself, and a dead body and mangled carcass I have not eaten from my childhood until now, and unclean meat has not come into my mouth!”
我说: “哎! 主耶和华啊, 我素来未曾被玷污, 从幼年到如今没有吃过自死的, 或被野兽撕裂的, 那可憎的肉也未曾入我的口. ”

4:15 And he said to me, “See I will give you cattle manure in the place of the feces of a human, and you may prepare your food on it.”
于是他对我说: “看哪, 我给你牛粪代替人粪, 你要将你的饼烤在其上. ”

4:16 And he said to me, “Son of man, look, I am going to break the supply of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight, anxiously, and rationed water, and they will drink with horror,
他又对我说: “人子啊, 我必在耶路撒冷折断他们的杖, 就是断绝他们的粮. 他们吃饼要按分两, 忧虑而吃; 喝水也要按制子, 惊惶而喝;

4:17 so that they will lack food and water, and they will be appalled with one another, and they will waste away because of their guilt.
使他们缺粮缺水, 彼此惊惶, 因自己的罪孽消灭. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 5

5:1 “And you, son of man, take for yourself a sword, sharp as a barber’s razor. Take it for yourself, and you must cause it to pass over your head and over your beard, and you must take for yourself a set of scales for weighing, and you must divide them.
“人子啊, 你要拿一把快刀, 当作剃头刀, 用这刀剃你的头发和你的胡须, 用天平将须发平分.

5:2 A third you must burn with fire in the midst of the city at the completion of the days of the siege, and you must take a third, and you must strike it with the sword around it, and a third you must scatter to the wind, and I will draw a sword behind them.
围困城的日子满了, 你要将三分之一在城中用火焚烧, 将三分之一在城的四围用刀砍碎, 将三分之一任风吹散; 我也要拔刀追赶.

5:3 And you must take from these a few in number, and you must tuck them in your hem.
你要从其中取几根包在衣襟里,

5:4 And from them again you shall take some, and you must throw them in the middle of the fire, and you must burn them with fire; from it a fire will go out to all of the house of Israel.
再从这几根中取些扔在火中焚烧, 从里面必有火出来烧入以色列全家.

5:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations where I have put her, and countries are around her.
主耶和华如此说: 这就是耶路撒冷. 我曾将她安置在列邦之中; 列国都在她的四围.

5:6 But she has rebelled against my regulations to the point of wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they rejected my regulations, and as for my statutes, they did not walk in them.
她行恶, 违背我的典章, 过于列国; 干犯我的律例, 过于四围的列邦, 因为她弃掉我的典章. 至于我的律例, 她并没有遵行.

5:7 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of your commotion more than the nations that are around you—you did not walk in my statutes, and you did not do my regulations, and according to the regulations of the nations that are around you, you did not do.
所以主耶和华如此说: 因为你们纷争过于四围的列国, 也不遵行我的律例, 不谨守我的典章, 并以遵从四围列国的恶规尚不满意,

5:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Look! I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgment in the midst of you before the eyes of the nations,
所以主耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我与你反对, 必在列国的眼前, 在你中间, 施行审判;

5:9 and I will do with you that which I have not done, and which I will not do again, because of all of your detestable things.
并且因你一切可憎的事, 我要在你中间行我所未曾行的, 以后我也不再照着行.

5:10 Therefore parents will eat children in the midst of you, and children will eat their parents, and I will execute judgment in you, and I will scatter your entire remnant to every wind.
在你中间父亲要吃儿子, 儿子要吃父亲. 我必向你施行审判, 我必将你所剩下的分散四方(方: 原文是风). ”

5:11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord Yahweh, Surely because you have defiled my sanctuary with all of your vile idols and with all of your detestable things, now indeed I will reduce, and my eye will not take pity, and surely I will show no compassion.
主耶和华说: “我指着我的永生起誓, 因你用一切可憎的物,可厌的事玷污了我的圣所, 故此, 我定要使你人数减少, 我眼必不顾惜你, 也不可怜你.

5:12 A third of you will die because of the plague, and because of the famine they will perish in the midst of you, and a third will fall through the sword around you, and a third I will scatter to every direction of the wind, and I will draw the sword behind them.
你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死, 在你中间必因饥荒消灭; 三分之一必在你四围倒在刀下; 我必将三分之一分散四方(方: 原文是风), 并要拔刀追赶他们.

5:13 And my anger will come to an end, and I will place my rage on them, and I will relent, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my passion when I fully vent my rage against them.
“我要这样成就怒中所定的; 我向他们发的忿怒止息了, 自己就得着安慰. 我在他们身上成就怒中所定的那时, 他们就知道我─耶和华所说的是出于热心;

5:14 And I will make you into a desolate place and into a disgrace among the nations that surround you before the eyes of every one who passes by.
并且我必使你在四围的列国中, 在经过的众人眼前, 成了荒凉和羞辱.

5:15 And it will be an object of taunting and an object of mockery, a warning and a horror to the nations that are around you whenever I execute judgments against you in anger and in wrath and in furious punishments! I, Yahweh, have spoken!
这样, 我必以怒气和忿怒, 并烈怒的责备, 向你施行审判. 那时, 你就在四围的列国中成为羞辱,讥刺,警戒,惊骇. 这是我─耶和华说的.

5:16 When I send my arrows of deadly famine against them, which will be as destruction that I will send in order to destroy you, I will increase famine against you, and I will break the supply of food for you.
那时, 我要将灭人,使人饥荒的恶箭, 就是射去灭人的, 射在你们身上, 并要加增你们的饥荒, 断绝你们所倚靠的粮食;

5:17 And I will send against you famine and fierce animals, and they will make you childless; and plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I, Yahweh, I have spoken!”
又要使饥荒和恶兽到你那里, 叫你丧子, 瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那里; 我也要使刀剑临到你. 这是我─耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 6

6:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

6:2 “Son of man, set your face to the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them,
“人子啊, 你要面向以色列的众山说预言,

6:3 and you must say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys: “Look, I am bringing upon you the sword, and I will destroy your high places,
说: 以色列的众山哪, 要听主耶和华的话. 主耶和华对大山,小冈,水沟,山谷如此说: 我必使刀剑临到你们, 也必毁灭你们的邱坛.

6:4 and your altars will be desolate, and your incense altars will be broken, and I will throw down your slain ones before your idols,
你们的祭坛必然荒凉, 你们的日像必被打碎. 我要使你们被杀的人倒在你们的偶像面前;

6:5 and I will place the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
我也要将以色列人的尸首放在他们的偶像面前, 将你们的骸骨抛散在你们祭坛的四围.

6:6 In all of your dwellings, the cities will be desolate and the high places will be ruined, so that your altars will be desolate and will suffer punishment. Your idols will be broken and will come to an end, and your incense altars will be cut down, and your works will be destroyed,
在你们一切的住处, 城邑要变为荒场, 邱坛必然凄凉, 使你们的祭坛荒废, 将你们的偶像打碎. 你们的日像被砍倒, 你们的工作被毁灭.

6:7 and the slain one will fall in the midst of you, and then you will know that I am Yahweh.
被杀的人必倒在你们中间, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

6:8 But I will spare some, so there will be for you fugitives from the sword among the nations when you are scattered in the countries.
你们分散在各国的时候, 我必在列邦中使你们有剩下脱离刀剑的人.

6:9 And your fugitives will remember me among the nations to which they were taken captive, that I was shattered by their adulterous heart which departed from me, and by their adulterous eyes which went after their idols, and they will feel loathing for themselves, for the evil that they did, for all of their detestable things.
那脱离刀剑的人必在所掳到的各国中记念我, 为他们心中何等伤破, 是因他们起淫心, 远离我, 眼对偶像行邪淫. 他们因行一切可憎的恶事, 必厌恶自己.

6:10 And they will know that I am Yahweh; not in vain I spoke to bring to them this evil.” ’
他们必知道我是耶和华; 我说要使这灾祸临到他们身上, 并非空话.

6:11 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Clap your hand and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas, for all of the detestable things of the evil of the house of Israel, because of which they will fall with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague.
“主耶和华如此说: 你当拍手顿足, 说: 哀哉! 以色列家行这一切可憎的恶事, 他们必倒在刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫之下.

6:12 The one who is far away will die by the plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword, and the one who is being left behind and being spared will die by the famine, and I will complete my rage on them.
在远处的, 必遭瘟疫而死; 在近处的, 必倒在刀剑之下; 那存留被围困的, 必因饥荒而死; 我必这样在他们身上成就我怒中所定的.

6:13 And you will know that I am Yahweh when their slain ones are in the midst of their idols around their altars at every high hill, on the tops of all the mountains and under every green tree and under every leafy oak—the place at which they gave a pleasing scent for all of their idols.
他们被杀的人倒在他们祭坛四围的偶像中, 就是各高冈,各山顶,各青翠树下,各茂密的橡树下, 乃是他们献馨香的祭牲给一切偶像的地方. 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

6:14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land a desolation and a wasteland from the desert to Riblah in all of their dwellings, and they will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
我必伸手攻击他们, 使他们的地从旷野到第伯拉他一切住处极其荒凉, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 7

7:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

7:2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh to the land of Israel: ‘The end comes, the end on the four corners of the land.
“人子啊, 主耶和华对以色列地如此说: 结局到了, 结局到了地的四境!

7:3 Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all your detestable things.
现在你的结局已经临到, 我必使我的怒气归与你, 也必按你的行为审判你, 照你一切可憎的事刑罚你.

7:4 And my eye will not take pity on you, and I will not show compassion for your ways; on you I will bring your detestable things; they will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.’
我眼必不顾惜你, 也不可怜你, 却要按你所行的报应你, 照你中间可憎的事刑罚你. 你就知道我是耶和华.

7:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! Disaster after disaster is coming!
“主耶和华如此说: 有一灾, 独有一灾; 看哪, 临近了!

7:6 The end comes, comes the end! It has awakened against you! Look! It comes!
结局来了, 结局来了, 向你兴起. 看哪, 来到了!

7:7 Doom is coming against you, the dweller of the land; the time comes, the day is near, panic and not joy is on the mountains.
境内的居民哪, 所定的灾临到你, 时候到了, 日子近了, 乃是哄嚷并非在山上欢呼的日子.

7:8 Soon I will pour out my rage on you, and I will fully vent my anger on you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will bring on you all of your detestable things.
我快要将我的忿怒倾在你身上, 向你成就我怒中所定的, 按你的行为审判你, 照你一切可憎的事刑罚你.

7:9 And my eye will not take pity, and I will not show compassion. According to your ways I will deal with you, and your detestable things will be in the midst of you, and you will know that I am Yahweh who strikes.
我眼必不顾惜你, 也不可怜你, 必按你所行的报应你, 照你中间可憎的事刑罚你. 你就知道击打你的是我耶和华.

7:10 Look! The day is coming; doom goes out, the staff blossoms, pride sprouts.
“看哪, 看哪, 日子快到了, 所定的灾已经发出. 杖已经开花, 骄傲已经发芽.

7:11 Violence has grown to become a staff of wickedness; none from them will remain, and none from their abundance nor from their wealth; and prominence will not be among them.
强暴兴起, 成了罚恶的杖. 以色列人, 或是他们的群众, 或是他们的财宝, 无一存留, 他们中间也没有得尊荣的.

7:12 The time has come, the day has arrived; let not the buyer rejoice, and let the seller not mourn, for anger is on all their multitude.
时候到了, 日子近了, 买主不可欢喜, 卖主不可愁烦, 因为烈怒已经临到他们众人身上.

7:13 For the seller will not return to the merchandise while they are still alive, for the vision is about all of its multitude; it will not change, and a man because of his guilt will not be able to hold onto his life.
卖主虽然存活, 却不能归回再得所卖的, 因为这异象关乎他们众人. 谁都不得归回, 也没有人在他的罪孽中坚立自己. ”

7:14 They shall blow on the trumpet and prepare everything, but there is no one going to the battle, for my anger is on all of their multitude.
“他们已经吹角, 预备齐全, 却无一人出战, 因为我的烈怒临到他们众人身上.

7:15 The sword is outside, and the plague and the famine are inside; the one who is in the field will die by the sword, and the one who is in the city, famine and plague will devour him.
在外有刀剑, 在内有瘟疫,饥荒; 在田野的, 必遭刀剑而死; 在城中的, 必有饥荒,瘟疫吞灭他.

7:16 And if their survivors will escape, they will be on the mountains, like the doves of the valley, all of them groaning, each because of his guilt.
其中所逃脱的就必逃脱, 各人因自己的罪孽在山上发出悲声, 好像谷中的鸽子哀鸣.

7:17 All of the hands will hang limp, and all of the knees will be wet with urine.
手都发软, 膝弱如水.

7:18 And they will wear sackcloth, and horror will cover them, and on all of the faces will be shame, and baldness on all of their heads.
要用麻布束腰, 被战兢所盖; 各人脸上羞愧, 头上光秃.

7:19 Their silver they will discard on the streets, and filth will be their gold; their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. They will not satisfy their hunger and their stomachs they will not fill, for their guilt will be their stumbling block.
他们要将银子抛在街上, 金子看如污秽之物. 当耶和华发怒的日子, 他们的金银不能救他们, 不能使心里知足, 也不能使肚腹饱满, 因为这金银作了他们罪孽的绊脚石.

7:20 “ ‘And the beauty of its ornament he made into a prideful thing and made with it their detestable things and their vile idols; therefore I will make it into an impure thing for them.
论到耶和华妆饰华美的殿, 他建立得威严, 他们却在其中制造可憎可厌的偶像, 所以这殿我使他们看如污秽之物.

7:21 And I will give it into the hand of strangers as plunder and to the wicked people of the earth as spoil, and they will defile it.
我必将这殿交付外邦人为掠物, 交付地上的恶人为掳物; 他们也必亵渎这殿.

7:22 And I will turn my face from them, and they will defile my treasured place, and violent ones will enter and defile it.
我必转脸不顾以色列人, 他们亵渎我隐密之所, 强盗也必进去亵渎.

7:23 Make a chain for the land; it is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.
“要制造锁链; 因为这地遍满流血的罪, 城邑充满强暴的事,

7:24 And I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will take possession of their houses, and I will put to an end the pride of the mighty ones, and their sanctuaries will be defiled.
所以我必使列国中最恶的人来占据他们的房屋; 我必使强暴人的骄傲止息, 他们的圣所都要被亵渎.

7:25 Anguish comes, and they will seek peace, and there will be none.
毁灭临近了, 他们要求平安, 却无平安可得.

7:26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor will be upon rumor. And they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction will perish from the priest and counsel from the elders.
灾害加上灾害, 风声接连风声; 他们必向先知求异象, 但祭司讲的律法,长老设的谋略都必断绝.

7:27 The king will mourn, and the prince will be dressed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their way I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
君要悲哀, 王要披凄凉为衣, 国民的手都发颤. 我必照他们的行为待他们, 按他们应得的审判他们, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 8

8:1 And then in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me. And the hand of the Lord Yahweh fell on me there,
第六年六月初五日, 我坐在家中; 犹大的众长老坐在我面前. 在那里主耶和华的灵(原文是手)降在我身上.

8:2 and I saw, and look! A figure like the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and below was fire, and from his waist and upward was like the appearance of brightness, like the outward appearance of amber.
我观看, 见有形像仿佛火的形状, 从他腰以下的形状有火, 从他腰以上有光辉的形状, 仿佛光耀的精金.

8:3 And he sent out the form of a hand, and he took me by a lock of hair of my head, and the Spirit lifted me between earth and heaven, and it brought me to Jerusalem in visions of God to the doorway of the inner gate that faced north, at which there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which was making jealous.
他伸出仿佛一只手的样式, 抓住我的一绺头发, 灵就将我举到天地中间, 在神的异象中, 带我到耶路撒冷朝北的内院门口, 在那里有触动主怒偶像的坐位, 就是惹动忌邪的.

8:4 And look! There was the glory of the God of Israel like the vision that I saw in the valley.
谁知, 在那里有以色列神的荣耀, 形状与我在平原所见的一样.

8:5 And he said to me, “Son of man, lift up now your eyes toward the north.” And I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and, look, there was to the north of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy at the entrance.
神对我说: “人子啊, 你举目向北观看. ”我就举目向北观看, 见祭坛门的北边, 在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像;

8:6 And he said to me, “Son of man, “Do you see what they are doing—great detestable things that the house of Israel is committing here so as to drive me from my sanctuary, and yet you will see again greater detestable things.”
又对我说: “人子啊, 以色列家所行的, 就是在此行这大可憎的事, 使我远离我的圣所, 你看见了吗? 你还要看见另有大可憎的事. ”

8:7 And he brought me to the doorway of the courtyard, and I saw, and look! A hole in the wall.
他领我到院门口. 我观看, 见墙上有个窟窿.

8:8 And he said to me, “Son of man, dig now through the wall.” And I dug through the wall, and look! There was a doorway.
他对我说: “人子啊, 你要挖墙. ”我一挖墙, 见有一门.

8:9 And he said to me, “Come and see the detestable things, the evil that they are doing here.
他说: “你进去, 看他们在这里所行可憎的恶事. ”

8:10 And I came, and I saw, and look, all kinds of creatures and detestable beasts; and all of the idols of the house of Israel were carved on the wall all around.
我进去一看, 谁知, 在四面墙上画著各样爬物和可憎的走兽, 并以色列家一切的偶像.

8:11 And seventy men from the elders of the house of Israel, and Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing in the midst of them, and they were standing before them. Each one had his censer in his hand, and the fragrance of the cloud of the incense was going up.
在这些像前有以色列家的七十个长老站立, 沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在其中. 各人手拿香炉, 烟云的香气上腾.

8:12 And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each in the inner rooms of his idol, for they are saying, ‘Yahweh is not seeing us; Yahweh has abandoned the land.’ ”
他对我说: “人子啊, 以色列家的长老暗中在各人画像屋里所行的, 你看见了吗? 他们常说: ‘耶和华看不见我们; 耶和华已经离弃这地. ’”

8:13 And he said to me, “Still you will see again greater detestable things that they are doing.”
他又说: “你还要看见他们另外行大可憎的事. ”

8:14 And he brought me to the doorway of the gate of the house of Yahweh that is toward the north, and look! There were the women sitting weeping for Tammuz.
他领我到耶和华殿外院朝北的门口. 谁知, 在那里有妇女坐着, 为搭模斯哭泣.

8:15 And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Still you will see again greater detestable things than these.”
他对我说: “人子啊, 你看见了吗? 你还要看见比这更可憎的事. ”

8:16 And he brought me to the inner courtyard of the house of Yahweh, and look, at the doorway of the temple of Yahweh, between the portico and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing down toward the east before the sun.
他又领我到耶和华殿的内院. 谁知, 在耶和华的殿门口,廊子和祭坛中间, 约有二十五个人背向耶和华的殿, 面向东方拜日头.

8:17 And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Was it too small a thing for the house of Judah to do the detestable things that they did here? For they filled up the land with violence, and they provoked me to anger again, and look! They are putting the branch to their nose.
他对我说: “人子啊, 你看见了吗? 犹大家在此行这可憎的事还算为小吗? 他们在这地遍行强暴, 再三惹我发怒, 他们手拿枝条举向鼻前.

8:18 And so I will act in rage, and my eye will not take pity, and I will not have compassion, and they will cry in my ear with a loud voice, and I will not hear them.”
因此, 我也要以忿怒行事, 我眼必不顾惜, 也不可怜他们; 他们虽向我耳中大声呼求, 我还是不听. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 9

9:1 And he called in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “They have come near, the punishers of the city, and each with his weapon of destruction in his hand.
他向我耳中大声喊叫说: “要使那监管这城的人手中各拿灭命的兵器前来. ”

9:2 And look! Six men coming from the way of the upper gate that faced northward, and each with his weapon for shattering in his hand; and one man was in the midst of them, dressed in linen, and the writing case of the scribe was at his side. And they came and stood beside the bronze altar.
忽然有六个人从朝北的上门而来, 各人手拿杀人的兵器; 内中有一人身穿细麻衣, 腰间带着墨盒子. 他们进来, 站在铜祭坛旁.

9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel lifted itself up from upon the cherub that he was on and went to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man who was clothed in linen with a scribal writing case at his side.
以色列神的荣耀本在基路伯上, 现今从那里升到殿的门槛. 神将那身穿细麻衣,腰间带着墨盒子的人召来.

9:4 And Yahweh said to him, “Go through in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and you must place a mark on the foreheads of the men who are groaning and lamenting about all of the detestable things that are being done in the midst of her.”
耶和华对他说: “你去走遍耶路撒冷全城, 那些因城中所行可憎之事叹息哀哭的人, 画记号在额上. ”

9:5 And to the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city behind him and kill! Your eyes shall not take pity, and you shall not have compassion.
我耳中听见他对其余的人说: “要跟随他走遍全城, 以行击杀. 你们的眼不要顾惜, 也不要可怜他们.

9:6 You must kill totally old man, young man and young woman, and little children and women, but concerning every man with the mark on him you must not approach; and from my sanctuary you must begin.” And they began with the old men who were before the house.
要将年老的,年少的, 并处女,婴孩, 和妇女, 从圣所起全都杀尽, 只是凡有记号的人不要挨近他. ”于是他们从殿前的长老杀起.

9:7 And he said to them, “Defile the house and fill the courtyards with the dead; go out! And they went out, and they killed in the city.
他对他们说: “要污秽这殿, 使院中充满被杀的人. 你们出去吧! ”他们就出去, 在城中击杀.

9:8 And then as they were striking, and I was left behind, I fell on my face, and I cried out, and I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! “Will you be destroying all of the remnant of Israel while you pour out your rage on Jerusalem?”
他们击杀的时候, 我被留下, 我就俯伏在地, 说: “哎! 主耶和华啊, 你将忿怒倾在耶路撒冷, 岂要将以色列所剩下的人都灭绝吗? ”

9:9 And he said to me, “The guilt of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is filled with bloodguilt, and the city is full of injustice. For they say Yahweh abandoned the land, and Yahweh does not see.
他对我说: “以色列家和犹大家的罪孽极其重大. 遍地有流血的事, 满城有冤屈, 因为他们说: ‘耶和华已经离弃这地, 他看不见我们. ’

9:10 And I, my eye will not take pity, and I will not have compassion; their way I will bring on their head.”
故此, 我眼必不顾惜, 也不可怜他们, 要照他们所行的报应在他们头上. ”

9:11 And look! The man clothed in linen and with a writing case at his side was bringing back a word, saying, “I have done all that you commanded me.”
那穿细麻衣,腰间带着墨盒子的人将这事回复说: “我已经照你所吩咐的行了. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 10

10:1 And I looked, and look! On the expanse that was above the head of the cherubim something like a stone of sapphire, and like the appearance of the shape of a throne it appeared above them.
我观看, 见基路伯头上的穹苍之中, 显出蓝宝石的形状, 仿佛宝座的形像.

10:2 And he spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, “Go in among the wheel area under the cherubim and fill the hollow of your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and toss them on the city.” And he went right before my eyes.
主对那穿细麻衣的人说: “你进去, 在旋转的轮内基路伯以下, 从基路伯中间将火炭取满两手, 撒在城上. ”我就见他进去.

10:3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south of the temple when the man went, and the cloud filled the inner courtyard.
那人进去的时候, 基路伯站在殿的右边, 云彩充满了内院.

10:4 And the glory of Yahweh rose up from on the cherub toward the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.
耶和华的荣耀从基路伯那里上升, 停在门槛以上; 殿内满了云彩, 院宇也被耶和华荣耀的光辉充满.

10:5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer courtyard; it was like the voice of God Shaddai when he speaks.
基路伯翅膀的响声听到外院, 好像全能神说话的声音.

10:6 And then at his command to the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheel area from among the cherubim,” he went and stood beside the wheel.
他吩咐那穿细麻衣的人说: “要从旋转的轮内基路伯中间取火. ”那人就进去站在一个轮子旁边.

10:7 Then the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim toward the fire that was among the cherubim, and he lifted up and gave it into the hollow of the hand of the man clothed with linen, and he took it, and he went out.
有一个基路伯从基路伯中伸手到基路伯中间的火那里, 取些放在那穿细麻衣的人两手中, 那人就拿出去了.

10:8 And there appeared for the cherubim the form of a human hand under their wings.
在基路伯翅膀之下, 显出有人手的样式.

10:9 And I saw, and look, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like the outward appearance of turquoise stone.
我又观看, 见基路伯旁边有四个轮子. 这基路伯旁有一个轮子, 那基路伯旁有一个轮子, 每基路伯都是如此; 轮子的颜色(原文是形状)仿佛水苍玉.

10:10 Their appearance was the same for each of the four of them, as if the wheel was in the midst of a wheel.
至于四轮的形状, 都是一个样式, 仿佛轮中套轮.

10:11 When they went to the four of their directions that they went, they did not change direction when they went, for the place to which the head turned, they went behind him; they did not change direction at their going.
轮行走的时候, 向四方都能直行, 并不掉转. 头向何方, 他们也随向何方, 行走的时候并不掉转.

10:12 And their whole body, and their rims, and their spokes, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels for the four of them.
他们全身, 连背带手和翅膀, 并轮周围都满了眼睛. 这四个基路伯的轮子都是如此.

10:13 Concerning the wheels, he was calling them “the wheelwork” in my hearing.
至于这些轮子, 我耳中听见说是旋转的.

10:14 And each one had four faces; the face of the one was the face of a cherub, and the face of the second was the face of a human, and the face of the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.
基路伯各有四脸: 第一是基路伯的脸, 第二是人的脸, 第三是狮子的脸, 第四是鹰的脸.

10:15 And the cherubim rose; that is, the living creatures that I saw at the Kebar River.
基路伯升上去了; 这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见的活物.

10:16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels beside them went; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to rise up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn aside from beside them.
基路伯行走, 轮也在旁边行走. 基路伯展开翅膀, 离地上升, 轮也不转离他们旁边.

10:17 When they stood, they stood, and at their rising, they rose with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
那些站住, 这些也站住; 那些上升, 这些也一同上升, 因为活物的灵在轮中.

10:18 And the glory of Yahweh went out from the threshold of the temple, and it stood above the cherubim.
耶和华的荣耀从殿的门槛那里出去, 停在基路伯以上.

10:19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and they rose from the earth before my eyes. At their going out, the wheels were beside them. And he stood at the doorway of the eastern gate of the temple of Yahweh, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
基路伯出去的时候, 就展开翅膀, 在我眼前离地上升. 轮也在他们的旁边, 都停在耶和华殿的东门口. 在他们以上有以色列神的荣耀.

10:20 This was the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel at the Kebar River, and I knew that they were cherubim.
这是我在迦巴鲁河边所见,以色列神荣耀以下的活物, 我就知道他们是基路伯.

10:21 Each one had four faces, and there were four wings for each, and the likeness of human hands was under their wings.
各有四个脸面, 四个翅膀, 翅膀以下有人手的样式.

10:22 And the likeness of their faces, they were the faces that I saw at the Kebar River; thus was their appearance, and they each went straight ahead.
至于他们脸的模样, 并身体的形像, 是我从前在迦巴鲁河边所看见的. 他们俱各直往前行.

Ezekiel - Chapter 11

11:1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and it brought me to the eastern gate, the one facing east, of the temple of Yahweh. And look, there were twenty-five men in the doorway of the gate, and I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur in the midst of them, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the commanders of the people.
灵将我举起, 带到耶和华殿向东的东门. 谁知, 在门口有二十五个人, 我见其中有民间的首领押朔的儿子雅撒尼亚和比拿雅的儿子毘拉提.

11:2 And he said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise mischief, and who are offering bad counsel in this city,
耶和华对我说: “人子啊, 这就是图谋罪孽的人, 在这城中给人设恶谋.

11:3 who are saying, “The building of houses is not near; the city is the pot, and we are the flesh.
他们说: ‘盖房屋的时候尚未临近; 这城是锅, 我们是肉. ’

11:4 Therefore prophesy against them! Prophesy, son of man!”
人子啊, 因此你当说预言, 说预言攻击他们. ”

11:5 And the Spirit of Yahweh fell on me, and he said to me, “Say, ‘thus says Yahweh: “This is what you think, house of Israel, and I myself know them, the thoughts of your spirit.
耶和华的灵降在我身上, 对我说: “你当说, 耶和华如此说: 以色列家啊, 你们口中所说的, 心里所想的, 我都知道.

11:6 You made your slain ones numerous in this city, and you have filled its streets with slain ones.” ’
你们在这城中杀人增多, 使被杀的人充满街道.

11:7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Your slain ones whom you put in its midst, they are the flesh, and it is the pot, and I will bring you out from its midst.
所以主耶和华如此说: 你们杀在城中的人就是肉, 这城就是锅; 你们却要从其中被带出去.

11:8 The sword you have feared, and the sword I will bring against you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你们怕刀剑, 我必使刀剑临到你们. 这是主耶和华说的.

11:9 “And I will bring you out from its midst, and I will give you into the hand of strangers, and I will execute judgments against you.
我必从这城中带出你们去, 交在外邦人的手中, 且要在你们中间施行审判.

11:10 By the sword you will fall at the border of Israel; I will judge you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
你们必倒在刀下; 我必在以色列的境界审判你们, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

11:11 It will not be as a pot to you, and so you would be in the midst of it as flesh, for at the border of Israel I will judge you.
这城必不作你们的锅, 你们也不作其中的肉. 我必在以色列的境界审判你们,

11:12 And you will know that I am Yahweh, whose rules you did not follow, and whose regulations you did not do, but according to the regulations of the nations that are around you, you acted.” ’
你们就知道我是耶和华; 因为你们没有遵行我的律例, 也没有顺从我的典章, 却随从你们四围列国的恶规. ”

11:13 And it happened that as I was prophesying, Pelatiahu the son of Benaiahu died! And I fell on my face, and I cried with a loud voice, and I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, you are making a complete destruction of the remnant of Israel!”
我正说预言的时候, 比拿雅的儿子毘拉提死了. 于是我俯伏在地, 大声呼叫说: “哎! 主耶和华啊, 你要将以色列剩下的人灭绝净尽吗? ”

11:14 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

11:15 “Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, the men of your redemption, and all of the house of Israel, all of it, who said concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, ‘They are far from Yahweh, therefore to us this land was given as a possession.’
“人子啊, 耶路撒冷的居民对你的弟兄,你的本族,你的亲属,以色列全家, 就是对大众说: ‘你们远离耶和华吧! 这地是赐给我们为业的. ’

11:16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Though I have removed them far away among the nations and though I have scattered them among the countries, yet I was a sanctuary to them for a little while in the countries to which they have gone.’ ”
所以你当说: ‘耶和华如此说: 我虽将以色列全家远远迁移到列国中, 将他们分散在列邦内, 我还要在他们所到的列邦, 暂作他们的圣所. ’

11:17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And I will assemble you from the peoples, and I will gather you from the countries to which you were scattered among them, and I will give the land of Israel to you.
你当说: ‘主耶和华如此说: 我必从万民中招聚你们, 从分散的列国内聚集你们, 又要将以色列地赐给你们. ’

11:18 And when they come there, then they will remove all of its vile idols and all of its detestable things from it.
他们必到那里, 也必从其中除掉一切可憎可厌的物.

11:19 And I will give to them one heart, and a new spirit I will give in their inner parts. And I will remove their heart of stone from their body, and I will give to them a heart of flesh,
我要使他们有合一的心, 也要将新灵放在他们里面, 又从他们肉体中除掉石心, 赐给他们肉心,

11:20 so that they may walk in my statutes, and they will keep my regulations, and they will do them, and they will be to me a people, and I myself will be to them as God.
使他们顺从我的律例, 谨守遵行我的典章. 他们要作我的子民, 我要作他们的神.

11:21 But to the heart of their abominations and the detestable things their heart is going. I will bring their way on their head,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
至于那些心中随从可憎可厌之物的, 我必照他们所行的报应在他们头上. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

11:22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and their wheels were beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
于是, 基路伯展开翅膀, 轮子都在他们旁边; 在他们以上有以色列神的荣耀.

11:23 And the glory of Yahweh went up from the midst of the city, and it stood still on the mountain that is to the east of the city.
耶和华的荣耀从城中上升, 停在城东的那座山上.

11:24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and it brought me to Chaldea, to the exiles, in the vision by the spirit of God; and the vision that I had seen left me.
灵将我举起, 在异象中藉著神的灵将我带进迦勒底地, 到被掳的人那里; 我所见的异象就离我上升去了.

11:25 And I spoke to the exiles all of the words of Yahweh that he had shown me.
我便将耶和华所指示我的一切事都说给被掳的人听.

Ezekiel - Chapter 12

12:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

12:2 “Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion who has eyes to see and they do not see; they have ears to hear, and they do not hear, for they are a house of rebellion.
“人子啊, 你住在悖逆的家中. 他们有眼睛看不见, 有耳朵听不见, 因为他们是悖逆之家.

12:3 And you, son of man, prepare for yourself the baggage of an exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes. And you must go into exile from your place to another place before their eyes; perhaps they will see that they are a house of rebellion.
所以人子啊, 你要预备掳去使用的物件, 在白日当他们眼前从你所住的地方移到别处去; 他们虽是悖逆之家, 或者可以揣摩思想.

12:4 And you must bring out your baggage like the baggage of an exile by day before their eyes, and you must go out in the evening before their eyes like those who go into exile.
你要在白日当他们眼前带出你的物件去, 好像预备掳去使用的物件. 到了晚上, 你要在他们眼前亲自出去, 像被掳的人出去一样.

12:5 Before their eyes dig through for yourself, through the wall, and you must bring the baggage out through it.
你要在他们眼前挖通了墙, 从其中将物件带出去.

12:6 Before their eyes, on your shoulder, you must lift up the baggage in the dusk, and your face you must cover, so that you may not see the land, for I make you as a sign to the house of Israel.”
到天黑时, 你要当他们眼前搭在肩头上带出去, 并要蒙住脸看不见地, 因为我立你作以色列家的预兆. ”

12:7 And I did just as I was commanded; my baggage, like the baggage of an exile, I brought out by day, and in the evening I dug through for myself into the wall with my hand in the dusk; I brought the baggage on my shoulder; I carried it before their eyes.
我就照着所吩咐的去行, 白日带出我的物件, 好像预备掳去使用的物件. 到了晚上, 我用手挖通了墙. 天黑的时候, 就当他们眼前搭在肩头上带出去.

12:8 And the word of Yahweh came to me in the morning, saying,
次日早晨, 耶和华的话临到我说:

12:9 “Son of man, did not they, the house of Israel, the house of rebellion, say to you, ‘What are you doing?’
“人子啊, 以色列家, 就是那悖逆之家, 岂不是问你说: ‘你做什么呢? ’

12:10 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This oracle is about the prince in Jerusalem and the entire house of Israel who are among them.” ’
你要对他们说: ‘主耶和华如此说: 这是关乎耶路撒冷的君王和他周围以色列全家的预表(原文是担子). ’

12:11 Say, ‘I am your sign, and just as I did, so will it be done to them in the exile; into captivity they will go.’
你要说: ‘我作你们的预兆: 我怎样行, 他们所遭遇的也必怎样, 他们必被掳去. ’

12:12 And the prince who is in the midst of them, on his shoulder he will carry the baggage in the dusk, and he will go out; the wall will be dug through to bring him through it; and he will cover his face so that he will not see the land with his eye.
他们中间的君王也必在天黑的时候将物件搭在肩头上带出去. 他们要挖通了墙, 从其中带出去. 他必蒙住脸, 眼看不见地.

12:13 And I will spread out my net on him, and he will be captured in my hunting snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.
我必将我的网撒在他身上, 他必在我的网罗中缠住. 我必带他到迦勒底人之地的巴比伦; 他虽死在那里, 却看不见那地.

12:14 And all who are around him, his help and all of his troops I will scatter in every direction, and I will draw the sword behind them.
周围一切帮助他的和他所有的军队, 我必分散四方(方: 原文是风), 也要拔刀追赶他们.

12:15 And they will know that I am Yahweh when I scatter them among the nations and I scatter them in the countries.
我将他们四散在列国,分散在列邦的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

12:16 But I will spare from them a few men from the sword, from the famine and from the plague, so that they may tell of all their abominations among the nations to which they will go, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
我却要留下他们几个人得免刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫, 使他们在所到的各国中述说他们一切可憎的事, 人就知道我是耶和华. ”

12:17 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

12:18 “Son of man, you must eat your food with trembling, and your water with shuddering, and with anxiety you must drink.
“人子啊, 你吃饭必胆战, 喝水必惶惶忧虑.

12:19 And you must say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the inhabitants of Jerusalem about the land of Israel: “They will eat their food with anxiety and their water they will drink with horror, because their land will be desolate from its fullness because of all the violence of those who are dwelling in it.
你要对这地的百姓说: 主耶和华论耶路撒冷和以色列地的居民如此说, 他们吃饭必忧虑, 喝水必惊惶. 因其中居住的众人所行强暴的事, 这地必然荒废, 一无所存.

12:20 And the inhabited cites will be desolate, and the land will be a desolation, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
有居民的城邑必变为荒场, 地也必变为荒废; 你们就知道我是耶和华. ”

12:21 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

12:22 “Son of man, what is this proverb you people have about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision has come to nothing.’
“人子啊, 在你们以色列地怎么有这俗语, 说‘日子迟延, 一切异象都落了空’呢?

12:23 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I will put an end to this proverb, and they will not quote it as a proverb again in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘The days are near, and also the word of every vision.’
你要告诉他们说: ‘主耶和华如此说: 我必使这俗语止息, 以色列中不再用这俗语. ’你却要对他们说: ‘日子临近, 一切的异象必都应验. ’

12:24 For there will not be any longer any false vision or flattering divination in the midst of the house of Israel.
从此, 在以色列家中必不再有虚假的异象和奉承的占卜.

12:25 For I, Yahweh, I will speak what I will speak as a word, and it will be done. It will not prolong itself any longer, for in your days, house of rebellion, I will speak a word and I will fulfill it!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我─耶和华说话, 所说的必定成就, 不再耽延. 你们这悖逆之家, 我所说的话必趁你们在世的日子成就. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

12:26 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

12:27 “Son of man, look! The house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he is seeing is for many days from now, and for distant times he is prophesying.’
“人子啊, 以色列家的人说: ‘他所见的异象是关乎后来许多的日子, 所说的预言是指着极远的时候. ’

12:28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “None of my words will be prolonged any longer that I speak as a word, and it will be fulfilled!” ’ ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
所以你要对他们说: ‘主耶和华如此说: 我的话没有一句再耽延的, 我所说的必定成就. 这是主耶和华说的. ’”

Ezekiel - Chapter 13

13:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

13:2 “Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you must say to those who are prophets out of their own imagination, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh!’
“人子啊, 你要说预言攻击以色列中说预言的先知, 对那些本己心发预言的说: ‘你们当听耶和华的话. ’”

13:3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Alas, for the foolish prophets who are going after their own spirit, and they did not see anything!
主耶和华如此说: “愚顽的先知有祸了, 他们随从自己的心意, 却一无所见.

13:4 Your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.
以色列啊, 你的先知好像荒场中的狐狸,

13:5 You did not go up into the breaches and repair a wall for the house of Israel to stand firm in the battle on the day of Yahweh.
没有上去堵挡破口, 也没有为以色列家重修墙垣, 使他们当耶和华的日子在阵上站立得住.

13:6 They saw falseness and a lying divination, the ones saying, ‘Declaration of Yahweh!’ and Yahweh did not send them, and they wait for the confirmation of their word.
这些人所见的是虚假, 是谎诈的占卜. 他们说是耶和华说的, 其实耶和华并没有差遣他们, 他们倒使人指望那话必然立定.

13:7 Have you not seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination, and you said, ‘Declaration of Yahweh!’ but I myself did not speak.
你们岂不是见了虚假的异象吗? 岂不是说了谎诈的占卜吗? 你们说, 这是耶和华说的, 其实我没有说. ”

13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because of your speaking falseness and because you envisioned a lie, therefore, look! I am against you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
所以主耶和华如此说: “因你们说的是虚假, 见的是谎诈, 我就与你们反对. 这是主耶和华说的.

13:9 “And it will be my hand against the prophets who are seeing falseness and who are practicing lying divination. They will not be in the council of my people, and they will not be written down in the record book of the house of Israel, and into the land of Israel they will not come, and then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
我的手必攻击那见虚假异象,用谎诈占卜的先知, 他们必不列在我百姓的会中, 不录在以色列家的册上, 也不进入以色列地; 你们就知道我是主耶和华.

13:10 Because, yes, because they led my people astray, saying ‘Peace!’ And there is not peace. And when anyone builds a flimsy wall, look, they coat it with whitewash.
因为他们诱惑我的百姓, 说: ‘平安! ’其实没有平安, 就像有人立起墙壁, 他们倒用未泡透的灰抹上.

13:11 Say to those covering it with whitewash that it will fall; there will be a torrent of rain, and I will give stones of hail; they will fall! And a windstorm will burst forth!
所以你要对那些抹上未泡透灰的人说: ‘墙要倒塌, 必有暴雨漫过. 大冰雹啊, 你们要降下, 狂风也要吹裂这墙. ’

13:12 And look! When the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
这墙倒塌之后, 人岂不问你们说: ‘你们抹上未泡透的灰在哪里呢? ’”

13:13 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘And so I will let burst forth a windstorm in my rage, and there will be a torrent of rain in my anger, and hailstones in my rage for complete destruction.
所以主耶和华如此说: “我要发怒, 使狂风吹裂这墙, 在怒中使暴雨漫过, 又发怒降下大冰雹, 毁灭这墙.

13:14 And I will break down the wall that you covered with whitewash, and I will knock it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed, and it will fall, and you will come to an end in the midst of it, and you will know that I am Yahweh!
我要这样拆毁你们那未泡透灰所抹的墙, 拆平到地, 以致根基露出, 墙必倒塌, 你们也必在其中灭亡; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

13:15 And I will fully vent my rage against the wall and against those covering it with whitewash, and I will say to you, “The wall is no more, and the people covering it are no more,
我要这样向墙和用未泡透灰抹墙的人成就我怒中所定的, 并要对你们说: ‘墙和抹墙的人都没有了. ’

13:16 that is, the prophets of Israel, the ones prophesying concerning Jerusalem and the ones seeing visions of peace, and there is not peace!’ ” ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
这抹墙的就是以色列的先知, 他们指著耶路撒冷说预言, 为这城见了平安的异象, 其实没有平安. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

13:17 “And you, son of man, place your face toward the daughters of your people who prophesy from their imagination, and prophesy against them!
“人子啊, 你要面向本民中,从己心发预言的女子说预言, 攻击她们,

13:18 And you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to those who sew magic charm bands on all the wrists of the hands of my people and those who make the veils that are on the head of people of every height, to ensnare people’s lives! Will you ensnare the lives of my people and keep yourselves alive?
说主耶和华如此说: ‘这些妇女有祸了! 她们为众人的膀臂缝靠枕, 给高矮之人做下垂的头巾, 为要猎取人的性命. 难道你们要猎取我百姓的性命, 为利己将人救活吗?

13:19 And you defiled me among my people for a handful of barley and for morsels of bread to kill persons who should not die and to keep alive persons who should not live by means of your lies to my people who are listening to your lies.” ’
你们为两把大麦, 为几块饼, 在我民中亵渎我, 对肯听谎言的民说谎, 杀死不该死的人, 救活不该活的人. ’”

13:20 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am against your magic charm bands with which you are ensnaring persons as birds; I will tear them from your arms, and I will release the persons that you are ensnaring, treating persons as birds.
所以主耶和华如此说: “看哪, 我与你们的靠枕反对, 就是你们用以猎取人,使人的性命如鸟飞的. 我要将靠枕从你们的膀臂上扯去, 释放你们猎取如鸟飞的人.

13:21 And I will tear off your veils, and I will deliver my people from your hand, and they will not any longer be in your hand as prey, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我也必撕裂你们下垂的头巾, 救我百姓脱离你们的手, 不再被猎取, 落在你们手中. 你们就知道我是耶和华.

13:22 Because you disheartened the heart of the righteous by deception, and I have not caused him pain, and strengthened the hands of the wicked so that he did not turn from his wicked way to save his life.
我不使义人伤心, 你们却以谎话使他伤心, 又坚固恶人的手, 使他不回头离开恶道得以救活.

13:23 Therefore falseness you will not see, and divination you will not practice any longer, and I will rescue my people from your hand, and you will know that I am Yahweh!’ ”
你们就不再见虚假的异象, 也不再行占卜的事; 我必救我的百姓脱离你们的手; 你们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 14

14:1 And men from the elders of Israel came to me, and they sat before me.
有几个以色列长老到我这里来, 坐在我面前.

14:2 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话就临到我说:

14:3 “Son of man, these men took up their idols into their heart and they placed before themselves a stumbling block of their guilt. Should I really let myself be consulted by them?
“人子啊, 这些人已将他们的假神接到心里, 把陷于罪的绊脚石放在面前, 我岂能丝毫被他们求问吗?

14:4 Therefore speak with them, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Every person from the house of Israel who brings up his idols into his heart and places before himself a stumbling block of his guilt and yet he comes to the prophet, I Yahweh, I will respond to him through this act with respect to the multitude of his idols,
所以你要告诉他们: ‘主耶和华如此说: 以色列家的人中, 凡将他的假神接到心里, 把陷于罪的绊脚石放在面前, 又就了先知来的, 我─耶和华在他所求的事上, 必按他众多的假神回答他(或译: 必按他拜许多假神的罪报应他),

14:5 so that I may take hold of the house of Israel by their heart, those who are estranged from me, all of them, through their idols.’
好在以色列家的心事上捉住他们, 因为他们都藉著假神与我生疏. ’

14:6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Return, and turn away from your idols and from all of your detestable things! Turn away your faces!” ’
“所以你要告诉以色列家说: ‘主耶和华如此说: 回头吧! 离开你们的偶像, 转脸莫从你们一切可憎的事. ’

14:7 For each person from the house of Israel, and from the alien who dwells as an alien in Israel, who separates himself from following me and brings up his idols into his heart and places before himself a stumbling block of his guilt, and yet he comes to the prophet to consult him concerning me, I Yahweh will answer him myself.
因为以色列家的人, 或在以色列中寄居的外人, 凡与我隔绝, 将他的假神接到心里, 把陷于罪的绊脚石放在面前, 又就了先知来要为自己的事求问我的, 我─耶和华必亲自回答他.

14:8 And I will set my face against that person, and I will make him to be a sign and make him into the subject of proverbs; and I will cut him off from the midst of my people, and you will know I am Yahweh.
我必向那人变脸, 使他作了警戒, 笑谈, 令人惊骇, 并且我要将他从我民中剪除; 你们就知道我是耶和华.

14:9 And the prophet, if he is deceived and he speaks a word, I Yahweh, I have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
先知若被迷惑说一句预言, 是我─耶和华任那先知受迷惑, 我也必向他伸手, 将他从我民以色列中除灭.

14:10 And they will bear their guilt, like the guilt of the inquirer so the guilt of the prophet will be,
他们必担当自己的罪孽. 先知的罪孽和求问之人的罪孽都是一样,

14:11 so that the house of Israel will not go astray again from me, and they will not make themselves unclean again with all of their transgressions, and they will be for me a people, and I will be for them as God,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
好使以色列家不再走迷离开我, 不再因各样的罪过玷污自己, 只要作我的子民, 我作他们的神. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

14:12 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

14:13 “Son of man, when a land sins against me by acting very unfaithfully, then I will stretch out my hand against it, and I will break for it the supply of food, and I will send against it famine, and I will cut it off, both human and animal.
“人子啊, 若有一国犯罪干犯我, 我也向他伸手折断他们的杖, 就是断绝他们的粮, 使饥荒临到那地, 将人与牲畜从其中剪除;

14:14 And if even the three of these men were in the midst of it—Noah, Daniel, and Job—they, through their righteousness, would save only themselves!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
其中虽有挪亚,但以理,约伯这三人, 他们只能因他们的义救自己的性命. 这是主耶和华说的.

14:15 “If a fierce animal I should let cross through the land, and it should make it childless and it will be a desolation, so that there will not be one crossing over the land due to the presence of the animal,
我若使恶兽经过糟践那地, 使地荒凉, 以致因这些兽, 人都不得经过;

14:16 even if these three men were in the midst of it, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “surely they will not save sons and daughters; they themselves alone, they will be saved, but the land will be a desolation.
虽有这三人在其中, 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 他们连儿带女都不能得救, 只能自己得救, 那地仍然荒凉.

14:17 Or, if I bring a sword over that land, and I say, ‘Sword, let it cross over into the land!’ And I will cut off from it both human and animal.
或者我使刀剑临到那地, 说: 刀剑哪, 要经过那地, 以致我将人与牲畜从其中剪除;

14:18 And if these three men were in the midst of it, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “they will not save sons and daughters, but they alone will be saved.
虽有这三人在其中, 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 他们连儿带女都不能得救, 只能自己得救.

14:19 And if I were to send a plague to that land, and I pour out my rage on it with blood to cut it off, both human and animal,
或者我叫瘟疫流行那地, 使我灭命(原文是带血)的忿怒倾在其上, 好将人与牲畜从其中剪除;

14:20 and if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the midst of her, as surely as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “surely not a son, surely not a daughter will they save by their righteousness; they would save themselves.”
虽有挪亚,但以理,约伯在其中, 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 他们连儿带女都不能救, 只能因他们的义救自己的性命. ”

14:21 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “How much more when I send my four punishments—the evil sword, and famine, and a fierce animal, and a plague—to Jerusalem to cut it off, both human and animal!
主耶和华如此说: “我将这四样大灾─就是刀剑,饥荒,恶兽,瘟疫降在耶路撒冷, 将人与牲畜从其中剪除, 岂不更重吗?

14:22 But look! A remnant will be left over in it, sons and daughters who will be brought out. Look! They are coming out to you, and you will see their way, and with their deeds you will be consoled with respect to the evil that I brought over Jerusalem, all of it that I brought over it.
然而其中必有剩下的人, 他们连儿带女必带到你们这里来, 你们看见他们所行所为的, 要因我降给耶路撒冷的一切灾祸, 便得了安慰.

14:23 And they will console you when you see their way and their deeds, and you will know that not for nothing I did all that I did in it,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你们看见他们所行所为的, 得了安慰, 就知道我在耶路撒冷中所行的并非无故. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 15

15:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

15:2 “Son of man, how will the wood of the vine be better than any of the wood of the branch which is among the trees of the forest?
“人子啊, 葡萄树比别样树有甚么强处? 葡萄枝比众树枝有甚么好处?

15:3 Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can they take a tent peg from it to hang on it any object?
其上可以取木料做甚么工用, 可以取来做钉子挂甚么器皿么?

15:4 Look! It is given to the fire as fuel. The fire will consume two of its ends, and its middle will be charred. Is it useful for anything?
看哪, 已经抛在火中当作柴烧, 火既烧了两头, 中间也被烧了, 还有益于工用吗?

15:5 Look! When it is in perfect condition, it will not be used for anything, how much less when the fire has consumed it and it is charred; and then can it be used again for anything?
完全的时候尚且不合乎甚么工用, 何况被火烧坏, 还能合乎甚么工用么? ”

15:6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Just like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest which I gave to the fire for fuel, so I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
所以, 主耶和华如此说: 众树以内的葡萄树, 我怎样使它在火中当柴, 也必照样待耶路撒冷的居民.

15:7 And I will set my face against them. From the fire they mayescape, but the fire will yet consume them, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I set my face against them.
我必向他们变脸; 他们虽从火中出来, 火却要烧灭他们. 我向他们变脸的时候, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

15:8 And I will make the land a desolation because they acted very unfaithfully!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使地土荒凉, 因为他们行事干犯我. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 16

16:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

16:2 “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem its detestable things,
“人子啊, 你要使耶路撒冷知道她那些可憎的事,

16:3 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were from the land of the Canaanites, your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
说主耶和华对耶路撒冷如此说: 你根本, 你出世, 是在迦南地; 你父亲是亚摩利人, 你母亲是赫人.

16:4 And as for your birth, on the day you were born your umbilical cord was not cut, and you were not thoroughly washed clean with water, and you were not thoroughly rubbed with salt, and you were not carefully wrapped in strips of cloth.
论到你出世的景况, 在你初生的日子没有为你断脐带, 也没有用水洗你, 使你洁净, 丝毫没有撒盐在你身上, 也没有用布裹你.

16:5 No eye took pity on you to do to you one of these things to show compassion for you, and you were thrown into the open field in their despising of you on the day you were born.
谁的眼也不可怜你, 为你做一件这样的事怜恤你; 但你初生的日子扔在田野, 是因你被厌恶.

16:6 “ ‘And I passed by you, and I saw you kicking about in your blood, and I said to you in your blood, “Live!
“我从你旁边经过, 见你滚在血中, 就对你说: 你虽在血中, 仍可存活; 你虽在血中, 仍可存活.

16:7 Grow up; I will make you like a plant of the field.” And you grew up, and you became tall and reached full womanhood. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown, but you were naked and bare.
我使你生长好像田间所长的, 你就渐渐长大, 以致极其俊美, 两乳成形, 头发长成, 你却仍然赤身露体.

16:8 “ ‘And I passed by you, and I saw you, and look, your time of lovemaking had come, and so I spread out my hem over you, and I covered your nakedness, and I swore to you, and I entered into a covenant with you,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘and you became mine.
我从你旁边经过, 看见你的时候正动爱情, 便用衣襟搭在你身上, 遮盖你的赤体; 又向你起誓, 与你结盟, 你就归于我. 这是主耶和华说的.

16:9 And I washed you with water, and I rinsed off your blood from on you, and I anointed you with oil.
那时我用水洗你, 洗净你身上的血, 又用油抹你.

16:10 And I clothed you with beautiful finished cloth, and I put sandals on you of fine leather, and I bound you in fine linen, and I covered you with costly fabric.
我也使你身穿绣花衣服, 脚穿海狗皮鞋, 并用细麻布给你束腰, 用丝绸为衣披在你身上,

16:11 And I adorned you with ornaments, and I put a bracelet on your arms and a necklace on your neck.
又用妆饰打扮你, 将镯子戴在你手上, 将金链戴在你项上.

16:12 And I put an ornamental ring on your nose and earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
我也将环子戴在你鼻子上, 将耳环戴在你耳朵上, 将华冠戴在你头上.

16:13 And you adorned yourself with gold and silver, and your clothing was fine linen and costly fabric and beautiful finished cloth; you ate finely milled flour and honey and olive oil, and you became exceedingly beautiful; you were fit to be a queen.
这样, 你就有金银的妆饰, 穿的是细麻衣和丝绸, 并绣花衣; 吃的是细面,蜂蜜, 并油. 你也极其美貌, 发达到王后的尊荣.

16:14 And a name went out for you among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect because of my majesty that I bestowed on you,’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
你美貌的名声传在列邦中, 你十分美貌, 是因我加在你身上的威荣. 这是主耶和华说的.

16:15 ‘And you trusted in your beauty, and you prostituted on account of your name, and you poured out your fornication on every one passing by, saying, “Let it be his.”
只是你仗着自己的美貌, 又因你的名声就行邪淫. 你纵情淫乱, 使过路的任意而行.

16:16 And you took from your clothes and you made for yourself colorful shrines, and you prostituted on them; this had not happened before, and it will not continue to happen.
你用衣服为自己在高处结彩, 在其上行邪淫. 这样的事将来必没有, 也必不再行了.

16:17 And you took your beautiful jewelry made from my gold and from my silver that I had given to you, and you made for yourself male images, and you prostituted with them.
你又将我所给你那华美的金银,宝器为自己制造人像, 与他行邪淫;

16:18 And you took the clothes of your beautiful finished cloth, and you covered them and my oil and my incense you set before them.
又用你的绣花衣服给他披上, 并将我的膏油和香料摆在他跟前;

16:19 And my bread that I gave to you, finely milled flour and oil and honey with which I fed you, then you set it before them as a pleasing odor, and so it was,’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
又将我赐给你的食物, 就是我赐给你吃的细面,油, 和蜂蜜, 都摆在他跟前为馨香的供物. 这是主耶和华说的.

16:20 ‘And you took your sons and your daughters whom you had borne for me, and you sacrificed them to them to be eaten, as if your whorings were not enough.
并且你将给我所生的儿女焚献给他.

16:21 And you slaughtered my children, and you gave them to be sacrificed to them.
你行淫乱岂是小事, 竟将我的儿女杀了, 使他们经火归与他吗?

16:22 And in all of your detestable things and your fornication you did not remember the days of your childhood when you were naked and bare, when you were kicking about in your blood.
你行这一切可憎和淫乱的事, 并未追念你幼年赤身露体滚在血中的日子.

16:23 “ ‘And then after all of your evil! Woe, woe, to you!’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
你行这一切恶事之后(主耶和华说: 你有祸了! 有祸了! )

16:24 ‘And then you built for yourself a mound, and you made for yourself a high place in every public square.
又为自己建造圆顶花楼, 在各街上做了高台.

16:25 At the head of every street you built your high place and you disgraced your beauty and you spread your feet for every passerby, and you increased your whoring.
你在一切市口上建造高台, 使你的美貌变为可憎的, 又与一切过路的多行淫乱.

16:26 And you prostituted with the Egyptians, your neighbors who were sexually aroused, and you increased your fornication to provoke me.
你也和你邻邦放纵情欲的埃及人行淫, 加增你的淫乱, 惹我发怒.

16:27 And look! I stretched out my hand against you, and I reduced your portion, and I gave you into the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed because of your lewd conduct.
因此我伸手攻击你, 减少你应用的粮食, 又将你交给恨你的非利士众女(众女是城邑的意思; 本章下同), 使她们任意待你. 她们见你的淫行, 为你羞耻.

16:28 And you prostituted with the Assyrians on account of your insatiable lust, and you prostituted with them, and still you were not satisfied.
你因贪色无厌, 又与亚述人行淫, 与他们行淫之后, 仍不满意,

16:29 And you increased your fornication to the land of traders, to Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied.
并且多行淫乱, 直到那贸易之地, 就是迦勒底, 你仍不满意.

16:30 How hot with fever was your heart!’ declares the Lord Yahweh. ‘When you did all of these actions of a headstrong female prostitute,
主耶和华说: 你行这一切事, 都是不知羞耻妓女所行的, 可见你的心是何等懦弱!

16:31 when you built your mound at the head of every street and your high place you made on every street, yet you were not like a prostitute, as you were scorning your harlot’s wages.
因你在一切市口上建造圆顶花楼, 在各街上做了高台, 你却藐视赏赐, 不像妓女.

16:32 O, adulterous woman! In the place of her husband she received strangers.
哎! 你这行淫的妻啊, 宁肯接外人, 不接丈夫.

16:33 To all prostitutes they give a fee, but you, you gave your gifts to all of your lovers, and you bribed them to come to you from all around in your whorings!
凡妓女是得人赠送, 你反倒赠送你所爱的人, 贿赂他们从四围来与你行淫.

16:34 And it was the opposite with you from the other women in your whorings; no one solicited you as a prostitute. You gave a harlot’s wages, and a harlot’s wages were not given to you, and so it was just the opposite.
你行淫与别的妇女相反, 因为不是人从你行淫; 你既赠送人, 人并不赠送你; 所以你与别的妇女相反.

16:35 “ ‘Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh.
你这妓女啊, 要听耶和华的话.

16:36 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of the pouring out of your shame and because your nakedness was revealed in your whoring with your lovers, and on account of all of the idols of your detestable things, and according to the blood of your children whom you gave to them,
主耶和华如此说: 因你的污秽倾泄了, 你与你所爱的行淫露出下体, 又因你拜一切可憎的偶像, 流儿女的血献给他,

16:37 therefore, look! I am gathering all of your lovers whom you were pleased about, and all of whom you loved in addition to all of whom you hated, and I will gather them against you from everywhere, and I will uncover your nakedness to them, and they will see all of your nakedness.
我就要将你一切相欢,相爱的, 和你一切所恨的都聚集来, 从四围攻击你; 又将你的下体露出, 使他们看尽了.

16:38 And I will judge you with the judgment of women committing adultery and shedding blood, and I will give you the blood of rage and jealousy.
我也要审判你, 好像官长审判淫妇和流人血的妇女一样. 我因忿怒忌恨, 使流血的罪归到你身上.

16:39 And I will give you into their hand, and they will demolish your mound, and they will break down your high places, and they will strip you of your clothes, and they will take your beautiful jewelry, and they will leave you naked and bare.
我又要将你交在他们手中; 他们必拆毁你的圆顶花楼, 毁坏你的高台, 剥去你的衣服, 夺取你的华美宝器, 留下你赤身露体.

16:40 And they will bring up against you a crowd, and they will stone you with stones, and they will cut you to pieces with their swords.
他们也必带多人来攻击你, 用石头打死你, 用刀剑刺透你,

16:41 And they will burn your houses with fire, and they will execute against you judgments before many women, and I will stop you from prostitution, and also a harlot’s wages you will not give again.
用火焚烧你的房屋, 在许多妇人眼前向你施行审判. 我必使你不再行淫, 也不再赠送与人.

16:42 And I will satisfy my rage on you, and my jealousy will turn away from you, and I will be calm, and I will not be angry any longer.
这样, 我就止息向你发的忿怒, 我的忌恨也要离开你, 我要安静不再恼怒.

16:43 Because you did not remember the days of your childhood and you made me angry with all of these. And in turn I, look, I will return your way upon your head,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘and did you not do wickedness in addition to all of your detestable things?
因你不追念你幼年的日子, 在这一切的事上向我发烈怒, 所以我必照你所行的报应在你头上, 你就不再贪淫, 行那一切可憎的事. 这是主耶和华说的.

16:44 Look! Everyone quoting a proverb against you, he will quote, saying, ‘Like her mother is her daughter!’
“凡说俗语的必用俗语攻击你, 说: ‘母亲怎样, 女儿也怎样. ’

16:45 You are a daughter of your mother who abhorred her husband and her children, and you are a sister of your sisters who abhorred their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.
你正是你母亲的女儿, 厌弃丈夫和儿女; 你正是你姊妹的姊妹, 厌弃丈夫和儿女. 你母亲是赫人, 你父亲是亚摩利人.

16:46 And your elder sister, she is Samaria, and her daughters, who are dwelling on your north, and your younger sister is the one dwelling on your south; she is Sodom and her daughters.
你的姊姊是撒马利亚, 她和她的众女住在你左边; 你的妹妹是所多玛, 她和她的众女住在你右边.

16:47 And you have not only gone in their ways, but you also did according to their detestable things. In such a short time you behaved more corruptly than they in all of your ways.
你没有效法她们的行为, 也没有照她们可憎的事去做, 你以那为小事, 你一切所行的倒比她们更坏.

16:48 As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely your sister Sodom and her daughters did not do as you and your daughters did.
主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 你妹妹所多玛与她的众女尚未行你和你众女所行的事.

16:49 Look! This was the iniquity of Sodom, your sister: Pride, abundance of food, and prosperous ease was to her and to her daughters, and she did not sustain the needy and the poor.
看哪, 你妹妹所多玛的罪孽是这样: 她和她的众女都心骄气傲, 粮食饱足, 大享安逸, 并没有扶助困苦和穷乏人的手.

16:50 And they were proud, and they did a detestable thing before me, and I removed them because I saw it.
她们狂傲, 在我面前行可憎的事, 我看见便将她们除掉.

16:51 And Samaria did not sin according to even half of your sins, and you caused your detestable things to increase more than they, and you made your sister righteous in comparison with all of your detestable things that you did.
撒马利亚没有犯你一半的罪, 你行可憎的事比她更多, 使你的姊妹因你所行一切可憎的事, 倒显为义.

16:52 Also, you bear your disgrace, by which you furnished justification to your sisters through your sins by which you acted more abominably than they; they were more righteous than you, and also, you be ashamed and bear your disgrace through your making your sister righteous.
你既断定你姊妹为义(为义: 或译当受羞辱), 就要担当自己的羞辱; 因你所犯的罪比她们更为可憎, 她们就比你更显为义; 你既使你的姊妹显为义, 你就要抱愧担当自己的羞辱. ”

16:53 And I will restore their fortune, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and even the fortunes of your captivity in the midst of them,
“我必叫她们被掳的归回, 就是叫所多玛和她的众女, 撒马利亚和她的众女, 并你们中间被掳的, 都要归回,

16:54 in order that you may bear your disgrace and you may be put to shame because of all that you did at your consoling them.
好使你担当自己的羞辱, 并因你一切所行的使她们得安慰, 你就抱愧.

16:55 And as for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and you and your daughters will return to your former state.
你的妹妹所多玛和她的众女必归回原位; 撒马利亚和她的众女, 你和你的众女, 也必归回原位.

16:56 And was not Sodom, your sister, a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride
在你骄傲的日子, 你的恶行没有显露以先, 你的口就不提你的妹妹所多玛. 那受了凌辱的亚兰众女和亚兰四围非利士的众女都恨恶你, 藐视你.

16:57 before your evil was uncovered? It was like the time of the scorn of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who are despising you.
a

16:58 Your wickedness and your detestable things, you, you must bear them,’ declares Yahweh.
耶和华说: 你贪淫和可憎的事, 你已经担当了. ”

16:59 ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh: And I will do it to you according to what you have done, who despised the oath to break covenant.
“主耶和华如此说: 你这轻看誓言,背弃盟约的, 我必照你所行的待你.

16:60 And I, I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.
然而我要追念在你幼年时与你所立的约, 也要与你立定永约.

16:61 And you will remember your ways, and you will be ashamed when you take your sisters, both the older and the younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of your covenant.
你接待你姊姊和你妹妹的时候, 你要追念你所行的, 自觉惭愧; 并且我要将她们赐你为女儿, 却不是按著前约.

16:62 And I, I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh,
我要坚定与你所立的约(你就知道我是耶和华),

16:63 in order that you will remember, and you will be ashamed, and you will not open your mouth again because of your disgrace when I forgive you for all that you have done!’ ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
好使你在我赦免你一切所行的时候, 心里追念, 自觉抱愧, 又因你的羞辱就不再开口. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 17

17:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

17:2 “Son of man, tell a riddle and quote a proverb to the house of Israel,
“人子啊, 你要向以色列家出谜语, 设比喻,

17:3 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The great eagle with great wings and long feathers and full of variegated plumage came to Lebanon and he took the treetop of the cedar.
说主耶和华如此说: 有一大鹰, 翅膀大, 翎毛长, 羽毛丰满, 彩色俱备, 来到黎巴嫩, 将香柏树梢拧去,

17:4 He plucked the top of its new plant shoot, and he brought it to the land of Canaan and put it in a city of merchants,
就是折去香柏树尽尖的嫩枝, 叼到贸易之地, 放在买卖城中;

17:5 and he took from the seed of the land and placed it in fertile soil on many waters; like a willow he planted it.
又将以色列地的枝子栽于肥田里, 插在大水旁, 如插柳树,

17:6 And it sprouted, and it became a vine spreading out, low of height, turning its branches to him, and its roots were under it, and it became a vine, and it made branches, and it sent out foliage.
就渐渐生长, 成为蔓延矮小的葡萄树. 其枝转向那鹰, 其根在鹰以下, 于是成了葡萄树, 生出枝子, 发出小枝.

17:7 “ ‘ “And there was another great eagle, great of wings and with abundant plumage, and look! This vine stretched out its roots toward him and extended its branches to him to water it from the garden bed where it was planted.
又有一大鹰, 翅膀大, 羽毛多. 这葡萄树从栽种的畦中向这鹰弯过根来, 发出枝子, 好得它的浇灌.

17:8 It was planted in a good field by many waters to produce branches and to bear fruit to become a beautiful vine.” ’
这树栽于肥田多水的旁边, 好生枝子, 结果子, 成为佳美的葡萄树.

17:9 Say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Will it prosper? Will he not tear out its roots, and will he not make its fruit scaly, and it will wither, and all of the freshness of its vegetation will dry up? And to lift it from its roots will not require great strength or many people.
你要说, 主耶和华如此说: 这葡萄树岂能发旺呢? 鹰岂不拔出它的根来, 芟除它的果子, 使它枯干, 使它发的嫩叶都枯干了吗? 也不用大力和多民, 就拔出它的根来.

17:10 And look! Though it is planted, will it prosper? When the east wind strikes it, will it not dry up completely? On the garden bed of its vegetation it will dry up!” ’ ”
葡萄树虽然栽种, 岂能发旺呢? 一经东风, 岂不全然枯干吗? 必在生长的畦中枯干了. ”

17:11 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

17:12 “Say now to the rebellious house of Israel, ‘Do you not know what these are?’ Say, ‘Look! The king of Babylon will come to Jerusalem, and he will take its king and its officials, and he will bring them to himself, to Babylon.
“你对那悖逆之家说: 你们不知道这些事是甚么意思么? 你要告诉他们说, 巴比伦王曾到耶路撒冷, 将其中的君王和首领带到巴比伦自己那里去.

17:13 And he took from the seed of the kingship, and he made with him a covenant, and he brought him under oath, and he took the rulers of the land,
从以色列的宗室中取一人与他立约, 使他发誓, 并将国中有势力的人掳去,

17:14 so that they would be a humble kingdom and not lift itself up to keep his covenant in order for it to stand.
使国低微不能自强, 惟因守盟约得以存立.

17:15 But he rebelled against him by sending his messengers to Egypt to give to him horses and a large army. Will he succeed? Will he escape doing these things, and can he break the covenant and escape?
他却背叛巴比伦王, 打发使者往埃及去, 要他们给他马匹和多民. 他岂能亨通呢? 行这样事的人岂能逃脱呢? 他背约岂能逃脱呢?

17:16 As I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely in the place of the king who made him king, who despised his oath and who broke his covenant with him—in the midst of Babylon he will die.
他轻看向王所起的誓, 背弃王与他所立的约. 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 他定要死在立他作王,巴比伦王的京都.

17:17 And not with a great army and with a great crowd will Pharaoh work with him in the war, at the pouring out of a siege ramp and the building of siege works to destroy many lives.
敌人筑垒造台, 与他打仗的时候, 为要剪除多人, 法老虽领大军队和大群众, 还是不能帮助他.

17:18 And he despised the oath to break covenant. And, look, he gave his hand in pledge, and yet he did all of these things. He will not escape.’
他轻看誓言, 背弃盟约, 已经投降, 却又做这一切的事, 他必不能逃脱. ”

17:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘As I live, surely my oath that he despised and my covenant that he broke I will return upon his head.
所以主耶和华如此说: “我指着我的永生起誓, 他既轻看指我所起的誓, 背弃指我所立的约, 我必要使这罪归在他头上.

17:20 And I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my hunting net, and I will bring him to Babylon, and I will enter into judgment with him there about his infidelity that he displayed against me.
我必将我的网撒在他身上, 他必在我的网罗中缠住. 我必带他到巴比伦, 并要在那里因他干犯我的罪刑罚他.

17:21 And all of his choice troops, among all of his troops, they will fall by the sword, and those who are remaining, they will be scattered to all the directions of the wind, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have spoken.’
他的一切军队, 凡逃跑的, 都必倒在刀下; 所剩下的, 也必分散四方(方: 原文是风). 你们就知道说这话的是我─耶和华. ”

17:22 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘And I will take, even I, from the treetop of the high cedar, and I will plant it, from the head of its new plant shoot I will pluck a tender one, and I will plant it, even I, on a high and lofty mountain.
主耶和华如此说: “我要将香柏树梢拧去栽上, 就是从尽尖的嫩枝中折一嫩枝, 栽于极高的山上;

17:23 On the height of the mountain of Israel I will plant it, and it will carry branches, and it will bear fruit, and it will become a noble cedar, and all of the birds of all wings will dwell under it in the shade of its branches.
在以色列高处的山栽上. 它就生枝子, 结果子, 成为佳美的香柏树, 各类飞鸟都必宿在其下, 就是宿在枝子的荫下.

17:24 And all of the trees of the field will know that I, Yahweh, I will bring low a high tree, and I will exalt a low, fresh tree, and I will make a dry tree flourish. I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will do it.’ ”
田野的树木都必知道我─耶和华使高树矮小, 矮树高大; 青树枯干, 枯树发旺. 我─耶和华如此说, 也如此行了. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 18

18:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

18:2 “What do you mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers, they ate unripe fruit, and the teeth of the child became blunt.’
“你们在以色列地怎么用这俗语说‘父亲吃了酸葡萄, 儿子的牙酸倒了’呢? ”

18:3 As I live, declares the Lord Yahweh, it will surely not any longer be appropriate for you to quote this proverb in Israel!
主耶和华说: “我指着我的永生起誓, 你们在以色列中, 必不再有用这俗语的因由.

18:4 Look! All lives are mine. The lives of father and son alike are mine. The person sinning will die.
看哪, 世人都是属我的; 为父的怎样属我, 为子的也照样属我; 犯罪的, 他必死亡.

18:5 And if a man is righteous and does justice and righteousness,
“人若是公义, 且行正直与合理的事:

18:6 and on the mountains he does not eat and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he does not defile and he does not approach a woman of menstruation,
未曾在山上吃过祭偶像之物, 未曾仰望以色列家的偶像, 未曾玷污邻舍的妻, 未曾在妇人的经期内亲近她,

18:7 and he oppresses no one and he returns a pledge for his loan and he commits no robbery and he gives his bread to the hungry and he covers a naked person with a garment,
未曾亏负人, 乃将欠债之人的当头还给他; 未曾抢夺人的物件, 却将食物给饥饿的人吃, 将衣服给赤身的人穿;

18:8 and he does not charge interest and he takes no usury, and he holds back his hand from injustice and he executes a judgment of fairness between persons,
未曾向借钱的弟兄取利, 也未曾向借粮的弟兄多要, 缩手不作罪孽, 在两人之间, 按至理判断;

18:9 and in my statutes he goes about and my regulations he keeps, performing faithfully —then he is righteous, and certainly he will live,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
遵行我的律例, 谨守我的典章, 按诚实行事─这人是公义的, 必定存活. 这是主耶和华说的.

18:10 “And now he has a son, a violent one, who sheds blood and does any of these things
“他若生一个儿子, 作强盗, 是流人血的, 不行以上所说之善, 反行其中之恶, 乃在山上吃过祭偶像之物, 并玷污邻舍的妻,

18:11 (though he did not do all of these things), for the son also eats on the mountains and he defiles the wife of his neighbor.
a

18:12 He oppresses the needy and the poor, and he commits robbery, and he does not return a pledge for a loan, and he lifts his eyes to the idols so he does a detestable thing.
亏负困苦和穷乏的人, 抢夺人的物, 未曾将当头还给人, 仰望偶像, 并行可憎的事,

18:13 He charges interest and takes usury. Then, shall he live? He shall not live, for he did all of these detestable things. Surely he will die! His blood will be on him.
向借钱的弟兄取利, 向借粮的弟兄多要─这人岂能存活呢? 他必不能存活. 他行这一切可憎的事, 必要死亡, 他的罪(原文是血)必归到他身上.

18:14 “And look! He has a son, and he sees all of the sin of his father that he did, and he sees it, but he does not do it.
“他若生一个儿子, 见父亲所犯的一切罪便惧怕(有古卷: 思量), 不照样去做;

18:15 On the mountains he does not eat, and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he does not defile.
未曾在山上吃过祭偶像之物, 未曾仰望以色列家的偶像, 未曾玷污邻舍的妻,

18:16 And he oppresses no one; he requires no pledge for a loan, and he does not commit robbery; he gives his bread to the hungry, and he covers the naked person with a garment.
未曾亏负人, 未曾取人的当头, 未曾抢夺人的物件, 却将食物给饥饿的人吃, 将衣服给赤身的人穿,

18:17 He brings back his hand from iniquity; he does not take interest and usury; he does my regulations; he goes in my statutes. He will not die because of the guilt of his father; he will surely live!
缩手不害贫穷人, 未曾向借钱的弟兄取利, 也未曾向借粮的弟兄多要; 他顺从我的典章, 遵行我的律例, 就不因父亲的罪孽死亡, 定要存活.

18:18 Because his father oppressed severely; he stole from his brother; that which is not good he did in the midst of his people, and look! He will die through his guilt.
至于他父亲; 因为欺人太甚, 抢夺弟兄, 在本国的民中行不善, 他必因自己的罪孽死亡.

18:19 “Yet you say, ‘Why does the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ And since the son does justice and righteousness and he keeps all of my statutes and does them, he shall surely live!
“你们还说: ‘儿子为何不担当父亲的罪孽呢? ’儿子行正直与合理的事, 谨守遵行我的一切律例, 他必定存活.

18:20 The person, the one sinning, will die. A son shall not bear the guilt of the father, and a father shall not bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him; the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
惟有犯罪的, 他必死亡. 儿子必不担当父亲的罪孽, 父亲也不担当儿子的罪孽. 义人的善果必归自己, 恶人的恶报也必归自己.

18:21 But if the wicked returns from all of his sins that he has done and he keeps all of my statutes and he does justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die!
“恶人若回头离开所做的一切罪恶, 谨守我一切的律例, 行正直与合理的事, 他必定存活, 不致死亡.

18:22 All of his transgressions that he committed will not be remembered against him. Through his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
他所犯的一切罪过都不被记念, 因所行的义, 他必存活.

18:23 Have I delight by any means in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord Yahweh, and not at his turning from his way, so that he lives?
主耶和华说: 恶人死亡, 岂是我喜悦的吗? 不是喜悦他回头离开所行的道存活吗?

18:24 And when the righteous turns from his righteousness, so that he does injustice, and does all of the detestable things that the wicked do, then will he live because of all of his righteousness that he did? Those things will not be remembered because of his infidelity that he displayed, and because of his sin that he committed. Through them he shall die.
义人若转离义行而作罪孽, 照着恶人所行一切可憎的事而行, 他岂能存活吗? 他所行的一切义都不被记念; 他必因所犯的罪,所行的恶死亡.

18:25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ Listen, now, house of Israel, is my way not fair? Is it not your ways that are not fair?
“你们还说: ‘主的道不公平! ’以色列家啊, 你们当听, 我的道岂不公平吗? 你们的道岂不是不公平吗?

18:26 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and he does injustice, then he will die because of them; because of his injustice that he did he will die!
义人若转离义行而作罪孽死亡, 他是因所作的罪孽死亡.

18:27 And when the wicked turns from his wickedness that he did and he does justice and righteousness, he will preserve his life.
再者, 恶人若回头离开所行的恶, 行正直与合理的事, 他必将性命救活了.

18:28 And if he sees and he returns from all of his transgressions that he did, surely he will live; he will not die!
因为他思量, 回头离开所犯的一切罪过, 必定存活, 不致死亡.

18:29 And yet they, the house of Israel, say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ Are not my ways fair, house of Israel? Are not your ways unfair?
以色列家还说: ‘主的道不公平! ’以色列家啊, 我的道岂不公平吗? 你们的道岂不是不公平吗? ”

18:30 “Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, each one according to his ways,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “Repent and turn around from all of your transgression, and it will not be as a stumbling block of iniquity to you.
所以主耶和华说: “以色列家啊, 我必按你们各人所行的审判你们. 你们当回头离开所犯的一切罪过. 这样, 罪孽必不使你们败亡.

18:31 Throw away from yourselves all of your transgressions that you committed, and make for yourselves a new heart and new spirit, and so why will you die, house of Israel?
你们要将所犯的一切罪过尽行抛弃, 自做一个新心和新灵. 以色列家啊, 你们何必死亡呢?

18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “And so repent and live!”
主耶和华说: 我不喜悦那死人之死, 所以你们当回头而存活. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 19

19:1 “And you, raise a lament about the leaders of Israel,
你当为以色列的王作起哀歌,

19:2 and you must say, ‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions. She lay down in the midst of young lions, and she reared her lion cubs.
说: 你的母亲是甚么呢? 是个母狮子, 蹲伏在狮子中间, 在少壮狮子中养育小狮子.

19:3 And she raised up one from her cubs; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans.
在牠小狮子中养大一个, 成了少壮狮子, 学会抓食而吃人.

19:4 And nations heard about him; in their pit he was caught, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
列国听见了就把牠捉在他们的坑中, 用钩子拉到埃及地去.

19:5 And she saw that she was waiting in vain; her hope was destroyed, and she took one from her cubs, and she made him a fierce lion.
母狮见自己等候失了指望, 就从牠小狮子中又将一个养为少壮狮子.

19:6 And he walked about in the midst of lions; he became a fierce lion, and he learned to tear prey; he ate humans.
牠在众狮子中走来走去, 成了少壮狮子, 学会抓食而吃人.

19:7 And he knew their widows, and he devastated their cities, and the land was appalled, and everyone in it at the sound of his roar.
牠知道列国的宫殿, 又使他们的城邑变为荒场; 因牠咆哮的声音, 遍地和其中所有的就都荒废.

19:8 And nations set out against him from the surrounding provinces, and they spread their net over him, and he was caught in their pit.
于是四围邦国各省的人来攻击牠, 将网撒在牠身上, 捉在他们的坑中.

19:9 And they put him in a collar with hooks, and they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into a prison, so that his voice would not be heard any longer on the mountains of Israel.
他们用钩子钩住牠, 将牠放在笼中, 带到巴比伦王那里, 将他放入坚固之所, 使他的声音在以色列山上不再听见.

19:10 Your mother was like the vine in your vineyard; planted fruitfully beside water, and it was full of branches from many waters.
你的母亲先前如葡萄树, 极其茂盛(原文是在你血中), 栽于水旁. 因为水多, 就多结果子, 满生枝子;

19:11 And she produced branches of strength to scepters of rulers; its height became tall between thick foliage, and it was seen because of its tallness among the abundance of its branches.
生出坚固的枝干, 可作掌权者的杖. 这枝干高举在茂密的枝中, 而且它生长高大, 枝子繁多, 远远可见.

19:12 But it was uprooted in rage; it was thrown to the earth, and the east wind dried up its fruit; they were stripped off, and its strong branch dried up; fire consumed it.
但这葡萄树因忿怒被拔出摔在地上; 东风吹干其上的果子, 坚固的枝干折断枯干, 被火烧毁了;

19:13 And now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land.
如今栽于旷野干旱无水之地.

19:14 And so fire has gone out from the stem of its branches; its fruit it has consumed, and there was not in it a strong branch, a scepter for ruling.’ ” This is a lament, and it will be used as a lament.
火也从它枝干中发出, 烧灭果子, 以致没有坚固的枝干可做掌权者的杖. 这是哀歌, 也必用以作哀歌.

Ezekiel - Chapter 20

20:1 And then in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, men from the elders of Israel came to consult Yahweh, and they sat before me.
第七年五月初十日, 有以色列的几个长老来求问耶和华, 坐在我面前.

20:2 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

20:3 “Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Are you coming to consult me? As I live, I will surely not allow myself to be consulted by you!” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
“人子啊, 你要告诉以色列的长老说, 主耶和华如此说: 你们来是求问我吗? 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我必不被你们求问.

20:4 Will you judge them? Will you judge them, son of man? Make known to them the detestable things of their ancestors.
人子啊, 你要审问审问他们吗? 你当使他们知道他们列祖那些可憎的事,

20:5 And you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “On the day of my choosing Israel I swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and I made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, and I swore to them, saying, ‘I am Yahweh your God.’
对他们说, 主耶和华如此说: 当日我拣选以色列, 向雅各家的后裔起誓, 在埃及地将自己向他们显现, 说: 我是耶和华─你们的神.

20:6 On that day I swore to them to bring them out from the land of Egypt to the land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey—it is the most beautiful of all of the lands.
那日我向他们起誓, 必领他们出埃及地, 到我为他们察看的流奶与蜜之地; 那地在万国中是有荣耀的.

20:7 Then I said to them, ‘Let each one throw away the detestable things of his eyes, and you must not make yourselves unclean with the idols of Egypt! I am Yahweh your God.’
我对他们说, 你们各人要抛弃眼所喜爱那可憎之物, 不可因埃及的偶像玷污自己. 我是耶和华─你们的神.

20:8 But they rebelled against me, and they were not willing to listen to me; each one did not throw away the detestable things of their eyes; and they did not abandon the idols of Egypt, and I decided to pour out my rage on them, to fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
他们却悖逆我, 不肯听从我, 不抛弃他们眼所喜爱那可憎之物, 不离弃埃及的偶像. “我就说, 我要将我的忿怒倾在他们身上, 在埃及地向他们成就我怒中所定的.

20:9 “But I acted for the sake of my name to keep it from being profaned before the eyes of the nations among whom they lived, where I made known to them before their eyes, to bring them out from the land of Egypt.
我却为我名的缘故没有这样行, 免得我名在他们所住的列国人眼前被亵渎; 我领他们出埃及地, 在这列国人的眼前将自己向他们显现.

20:10 And I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and I brought them to the desert,
这样, 我就使他们出埃及地, 领他们到旷野,

20:11 and I gave my statutes to them, and my regulations I made known to them, which, if a person does them, then he will live by them.
将我的律例赐给他们, 将我的典章指示他们; 人若遵行就必因此活着.

20:12 And also my Sabbaths I gave to them to be a sign between me and between them so they would know that I, Yahweh, am the one sanctifying them.
又将我的安息日赐给他们, 好在我与他们中间为证据, 使他们知道我─耶和华是叫他们成为圣的.

20:13 “But in the desert the house of Israel rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my regulations, which, if a person does them, he will live by them, and they greatly profaned my Sabbaths, and I decided to pour out my rage on them in the desert to destroy them,
以色列家却在旷野悖逆我, 不顺从我的律例, 厌弃我的典章(人若遵行就必因此活着), 大大干犯我的安息日. “我就说, 要在旷野将我的忿怒倾在他们身上, 灭绝他们.

20:14 and I acted for the sake of my name, that it not be profaned before the eyes of the nations before whom I brought them out.
我却为我名的缘故, 没有这样行, 免得我的名在我领他们出埃及的列国人眼前被亵渎.

20:15 And also I myself swore to them in the desert not to bring them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey—it is the most beautiful of all of the lands—
并且我在旷野向他们起誓, 必不领他们进入我所赐给他们流奶与蜜之地(那地在万国中是有荣耀的);

20:16 because they despised my judgments, and they did not walk in my statutes, and my Sabbaths they profaned, for their heart was going after their idols.
因为他们厌弃我的典章, 不顺从我的律例, 干犯我的安息日, 他们的心随从自己的偶像.

20:17 But my eye took pity on them by not destroying them, and I did not completely destroy them in the desert.
虽然如此, 我眼仍顾惜他们, 不毁灭他们, 不在旷野将他们灭绝净尽.

20:18 “And I said to their children in the desert, ‘You must not go in the statutes of your parents; you must not keep their regulations, and you must not make yourself unclean with their idols.
“我在旷野对他们的儿女说: 不要遵行你们父亲的律例, 不要谨守他们的恶规, 也不要因他们的偶像玷污自己.

20:19 I, Yahweh, am your God, so go in my statutes and keep my regulations and do them.
我是耶和华─你们的神, 你们要顺从我的律例, 谨守遵行我的典章,

20:20 And treat my Sabbaths as holy, and they will be a sign between me and between you that you may know that I, Yahweh, am your God.’
且以我的安息日为圣. 这日在我与你们中间为证据, 使你们知道我是耶和华─你们的神.

20:21 But the children rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, and they did not observe my regulations, which if a person does them, then he will live by them. My Sabbaths they desecrated, and I decided to pour out my rage on them, to finish my anger against them in the desert.
只是他们的儿女悖逆我, 不顺从我的律例, 也不谨守遵行我的典章(人若遵行就必因此活着), 干犯我的安息日. “我就说, 要将我的忿怒倾在他们身上, 在旷野向他们成就我怒中所定的.

20:22 But I withheld my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name not to be profaned before the eyes of the nations before whom I had brought them out before their eyes.
虽然如此, 我却为我名的缘故缩手没有这样行, 免得我的名在我领他们出埃及的列国人眼前被亵渎.

20:23 What is more, I swore to them in the desert to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them in the lands,
并且我在旷野向他们起誓, 必将他们分散在列国, 四散在列邦;

20:24 because they did not do my regulations, and my statutes they despised, and my Sabbaths they profaned, and their eyes were after the idols of their ancestors.
因为他们不遵行我的典章, 竟厌弃我的律例, 干犯我的安息日, 眼目仰望他们父亲的偶像.

20:25 And in turn I gave to them rules that were not good and regulations by which they will not live.
我也任他们遵行不美的律例, 谨守不能使人活着的恶规.

20:26 And I defiled them through their gifts in sacrificing all of the first offspring of the womb, in order that I will cause them to be stunned, so that they will know that I am Yahweh.
因他们将一切头生的经火, 我就任凭他们在这供献的事上玷污自己, 好叫他们凄凉, 使他们知道我是耶和华.

20:27 “Therefore speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Again in this your ancestors blasphemed me at their display of infidelity toward me.” ’
“人子啊, 你要告诉以色列家说, 主耶和华如此说: 你们的列祖在得罪我的事上亵渎我;

20:28 And I brought them to the land that I swore to give to them, and they saw every high hill and every leafy tree, and they offered their sacrifices, and they presented there the provocation of their offering, and they gave there their fragrant incense offering, and they poured out their libations there.
因为我领他们到了我起誓应许赐给他们的地, 他们看见各高山,各茂密树, 就在那里献祭, 奉上惹我发怒的供物, 也在那里焚烧馨香的祭牲, 并浇上奠祭.

20:29 And I said to them, ‘What is the high place to which you are going?’ And it is called Bamah until this day.
我就对他们说: 你们所上的那高处叫甚么呢? (那高处的名字叫巴麻直到今日. )

20:30 Therefore thus say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “In the way of your ancestors will you defile yourself, and after their vile idols will you prostitute yourselves?
所以你要对以色列家说, 主耶和华如此说: 你们仍照你们列祖所行的玷污自己吗? 仍照他们可憎的事行邪淫吗?

20:31 And when you lift up your gifts, sacrificing your children through the fire, you are defiling yourself through all of your idols until today, and will I let myself be consulted by you, house of Israel?” ’ As I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “I will not let myself be consulted by you!
你们奉上供物使你们儿子经火的时候, 仍将一切偶像玷污自己, 直到今日吗? 以色列家啊, 我岂被你们求问吗? 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我必不被你们求问.

20:32 And what you are planning, surely it will not be—that you are saying, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the clans of the lands, serving wood and stone!’
“你们说: 我们要像外邦人和列国的宗族一样, 去事奉木头与石头. 你们所起的这心意万不能成就. ”

20:33 “As I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “surely with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with rage pouring forth I will reign as king over you!
主耶和华说: “我指着我的永生起誓, 我总要作王, 用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 并倾出来的忿怒, 治理你们.

20:34 And I will bring you from the peoples, and I will gather you from the countries to which you were scattered with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with rage poured out.
我必用大能的手和伸出来的膀臂, 并倾出来的忿怒, 将你们从万民中领出来, 从分散的列国内聚集你们.

20:35 Then I will bring you to the desert of the peoples, and I will execute justice on you there face to face.
我必带你们到外邦人的旷野, 在那里当面刑罚你们.

20:36 Just as I executed justice on your ancestors in the desert of the land of Egypt, likewise I will execute justice on you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我怎样在埃及地的旷野刑罚你们的列祖, 也必照样刑罚你们. 这是主耶和华说的.

20:37 “And I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
我必使你们从杖下经过, 使你们被约拘束.

20:38 And I will purge the rebels from among you and the ones transgressing against me; I will bring them out from the land where they are living as aliens, but into the land of Israel they will not come, and then you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必从你们中间除净叛逆和得罪我的人, 将他们从所寄居的地方领出来, 他们却不得入以色列地. 你们就知道我是耶和华.

20:39 And you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Let each one go serve his idols now and after, if you are not listening to me, but my holy name you will not profane any longer with your gifts and with your idols.
“以色列家啊, 至于你们, 主耶和华如此说: 从此以后若不听从我, 就任凭你们去事奉偶像, 只是不可再因你们的供物和偶像亵渎我的圣名.

20:40 “For on my holy mountain, on the mountain of the height of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “there all of the house of Israel will serve me, all of them, in the land. I will take pleasure in them, and there I will accept your contributions and the best of your portions with all of your holy objects.
“主耶和华说: 在我的圣山, 就是以色列高处的山, 所有以色列的全家都要事奉我. 我要在那里悦纳你们, 向你们要供物和初熟的土产, 并一切的圣物.

20:41 I will accept you as a fragrant incense offering when I bring you out from the peoples and I gather you from the lands to which you were scattered, and I will show myself holy among you before the eyes of the nations.
我从万民中领你们出来, 从分散的列国内聚集你们, 那时我必悦纳你们好像馨香之祭, 要在外邦人眼前在你们身上显为圣.

20:42 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I swore to give to your ancestors.
我领你们进入以色列地, 就是我起誓应许赐给你们列祖之地, 那时你们就知道我是耶和华.

20:43 And you will remember there your ways, and all of your deeds by which you were made unclean, and you will feel a loathing for yourself for all of your evils that you have done.
你们在那里要追念玷污自己的行动作为, 又要因所做的一切恶事厌恶自己.

20:44 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I deal with you for the sake of my name and not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupted deeds, house of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
主耶和华说: 以色列家啊, 我为我名的缘故, 不照着你们的恶行和你们的坏事待你们; 你们就知道我是耶和华. ”

20:45 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

20:46 “Son of man, set your face toward the way of the south, and preach to the south, and prophesy against the forest of the territory of the Negev.
“人子啊, 你要面向南方, 向南滴下预言攻击南方田野的树林.

20:47 And you must say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am kindling against you a fire, and it will devour in you every fresh tree and every dry tree; the blaze of the flame will not be quenched, and all the surfaces from the south to the north will be scorched by it.
对南方的树林说, 要听耶和华的话. 主耶和华如此说: 我必使火在你中间著起, 烧灭你中间的一切青树和枯树, 猛烈的火焰必不熄灭. 从南到北, 人的脸面都被烧焦.

20:48 And all creatures will see that I, Yahweh, I kindled it—it will not be quenched!” ’ ”
凡有血气的都必知道是我─耶和华使火著起, 这火必不熄灭. ”

20:49 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, they are saying about me, ‘Is he not posing a parable?’ ”
于是我说: “哎! 主耶和华啊, 人都指着我说: 他岂不是说比喻的吗? ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 21

21:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

21:2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach to the sanctuaries, and prophesy to the land of Israel.
“人子啊, 你要面向耶路撒冷和圣所滴下预言, 攻击以色列地.

21:3 And you must say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, and I will draw out my sword from its sheath, and I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
对以色列地说, 耶和华如此说: 我与你为敌, 并要拔刀出鞘, 从你中间将义人和恶人一并剪除.

21:4 Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword will go out from its sheath to all creatures from south to north.
我既要从你中间剪除义人和恶人, 所以我的刀要出鞘, 自南至北攻击一切有血气的;

21:5 And they will know, all creatures, that I, Yahweh, I will bring out my sword from its sheath; it will not return again!” ’
一切有血气的就知道我─耶和华已经拔刀出鞘, 必不再入鞘.

21:6 And you, son of man, groan with shaking hips, and you must groan with bitterness before their eyes.
人子啊, 你要叹息, 在他们眼前弯著腰, 苦苦地叹息.

21:7 And then when they say to you, ‘On account of what are you groaning?’ then you must say, ‘On account of the report, for it is coming, and every heart will be weak and all hands will hang limp and every spirit will be disheartened, and all knees will go like water.’ Look! It is coming, and it will happen!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
他们问你说: ‘为何叹息呢? ’你就说: ‘因为有风声,灾祸要来. 人心都必消化, 手都发软, 精神衰败, 膝弱如水. 看哪, 这灾祸临近, 必然成就. 这是主耶和华说的. ’”

21:8 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

21:9 “Son of man, prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord,’ say, ‘A sword, a sword is sharpened and is also polished.
“人子啊, 你要预言. 耶和华吩咐我如此说: 有刀,有刀, 是磨快擦亮的;

21:10 It is sharpened to slaughter a slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Or will we rejoice? A rod, my son, is despising every tree.
磨快为要行杀戮, 擦亮为要像闪电. 我们岂可快乐吗? 罚我子的杖藐视各树.

21:11 And he gives it to be polished, to be seized by the hand. It is sharpened—a sword—and it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.
这刀已经交给人擦亮, 为要应手使用. 这刀已经磨快擦亮, 好交在行杀戮的人手中.

21:12 Cry and wail, son of man, for it is against my people; it is against all of the princes of Israel. They are thrown to the sword with my people; therefore strike your thigh.
人子啊, 你要呼喊哀号, 因为这刀临到我的百姓和以色列一切的首领. 他们和我的百姓都交在刀下, 所以你要拍腿叹息.

21:13 For examine! And what if also the rod will not be despising?’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
有试验的事; 若那藐视的杖归于无有, 怎么样呢? 这是主耶和华说的.

21:14 And you, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands. And the sword will strike twice; let it happen a third time. It is a sword of the dead, the sword of the great dead that is surrounding them,
“人子啊, 你要拍掌预言. 我─耶和华要使这刀, 就是致死伤的刀, 一连三次加倍刺人, 进入他们的内屋, 使大人受死伤的就是这刀.

21:15 so that a heart melts, and the fallen multiply at all of their gates. I gave a sword for slaughter, and alas! It is made for flashing, it is grasped for slaughtering.
我设立这恐吓人的刀, 攻击他们的一切城门, 使他们的心消化, 加增他们跌倒的事. 哎! 这刀造得像闪电, 磨得尖利, 要行杀戮.

21:16 Gather together, strike to the right; cause to go to the left, where your edge is directed.
刀啊, 你归在右边, 摆在左边; 你面向哪方, 就向那方杀戮.

21:17 And also I myself will clap my hands, and I will satisfy my rage! I, Yahweh, I have spoken.”
我也要拍掌, 并要使我的忿怒止息. 这是我─耶和华说的. ”

21:18 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

21:19 “And you, son of man, mark out for yourself two roads for the coming of the sword of the king of Babylon; they must both go out from the same land. And hew out a signpost; hew it at the head of the road of the city.
“人子啊, 你要定出两条路, 好使巴比伦王的刀来. 这两条路必从一地分出来, 又要在通城的路口上画出一只手来.

21:20 You must mark a road for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the Ammonites and to Judah, in Jerusalem the fortified.
你要定出一条路, 使刀来到亚扪人的拉巴; 又要定出一条路, 使刀来到犹大的坚固城耶路撒冷.

21:21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork of the road at the head of the two roads to practice divination. He shakes the arrows, he inquires with the teraphim, he examines the liver.
因为巴比伦王站在岔路那里, 在两条路口上要占卜. 他摇签(原文是箭)求问神像, 察看牺牲的肝;

21:22 In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem, to put up battering rams, to open a mouth for slaughter, to raise the battle cry, to put up battering rams against gates, to build a siege ramp, to build siege works.
在右手中拿着为耶路撒冷占卜的签, 使他安设撞城锤, 张口叫杀, 扬声呐喊, 筑垒造台, 以撞城锤, 攻打城门.

21:23 And it will be to them like practicing divination falsely in their eyes; they have sworn oaths for themselves. But he will bring their guilt to remembrance so as to seize them.
据那些曾起誓的犹大人看来, 这是虚假的占卜; 但巴比伦王要使他们想起罪孽, 以致将他们捉住. ”

21:24 “Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because you have brought to remembrance your guilt by the uncovering of your transgressions, so that your sins in all of your deeds appear—because of your being remembered, you will be captured in the hand.’
主耶和华如此说: “因你们的过犯显露, 使你们的罪孽被记念, 以致你们的罪恶在行为上都彰显出来; 又因你们被记念, 就被捉住.

21:25 And as for you, profane one, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come with the time of the punishment of the end,
你这受死伤行恶的以色列王啊, 罪孽的尽头到了, 受报的日子已到.

21:26 thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Remove the turban and lift off the crown; things are no longer the same. Exalt the low and bring low the high.
主耶和华如此说: 当除掉冠, 摘下冕, 景况必不再像先前; 要使卑者升为高, 使高者降为卑.

21:27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I will make it! Also this has not ever happened; it will remain until the coming of the one to whom the judgment belongs and I have given it to him.’
我要将这国倾覆, 倾覆, 而又倾覆; 这国也必不再有, 直等到那应得的人来到, 我就赐给他. ”

21:28 And you, son of man, prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the Ammonites and concerning their disgrace,’ and you must say, ‘A sword, a sword is drawn for slaughtering; it is polished for holding, for flashing like lightning,
“人子啊, 要发预言说: 主耶和华论到亚扪人和他们的凌辱, 吩咐我如此说: 有刀, 有拔出来的刀, 已经擦亮, 为行杀戮, 使他像闪电以行吞灭.

21:29 when seeing a false vision for you in vain, when practicing divination for you falsely, to give you on the neck of the profane ones of the wicked, whose day has come, the time of final punishment.
人为你见虚假的异象, 行谎诈的占卜, 使你倒在受死伤之恶人的颈项上. 他们罪孽到了尽头, 受报的日子已到.

21:30 Return it to its sheath in the place where you were created. In the land of your origin I will judge you!
你将刀收入鞘吧! 在你受造之处,生长之地, 我必刑罚你.

21:31 And I will pour out my anger on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and I will give you into the hand of brutal men, skilled craftsmen of destruction.
我必将我的恼恨倒在你身上, 将我烈怒的火喷在你身上; 又将你交在善于杀灭的畜类人手中.

21:32 You will be as fuel for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the earth. You will not be remembered, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken.’ ”
你必当柴被火焚烧, 你的血必流在国中, 你必不再被记念, 因为这是我─耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 22

22:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

22:2 “And you, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then you must make known to her all of her detestable things!
“人子啊, 你要审问审问这流人血的城吗? 当使她知道她一切可憎的事.

22:3 And you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “A city pouring out blood in the midst of her; its time has come, and it made idols for itself, becoming unclean.
你要说, 主耶和华如此说: 哎! 这城有流人血的事在其中, 叫她受报的日期来到, 又做偶像玷污自己, 陷害自己.

22:4 By your blood that you poured out you have become guilty, and by your idols that you made you have become unclean, and you have brought your days near, and your appointed years have come. Therefore I have made you a disgrace for the nations and a laughingstock to all of the countries.
你因流了人的血, 就为有罪; 你做了偶像, 就玷污自己, 使你受报之日临近, 报应之年来到. 所以我叫你受列国的凌辱和列邦的讥诮.

22:5 The people near and the people far from you will make fun of you, the unclean and the terrified.
你这名臭,多乱的城啊, 那些离你近,离你远的都必讥诮你.

22:6 Look! The princes of Israel, each one according to his strength, they are in you for the shedding of blood.
“看哪, 以色列的首领各逞其能, 在你中间流人之血.

22:7 They have treated father and mother with contempt in you; they violated the alien with extortion; in the midst of you they mistreated the orphan and widow.
在你中间有轻慢父母的, 有欺压寄居的, 有亏负孤儿寡妇的.

22:8 You despised my holy objects; my Sabbaths you profaned.
你藐视了我的圣物, 干犯了我的安息日.

22:9 Slanderous men are among you to shed blood, and they, among you, eat upon the mountains; they do wickedness in the midst of you.
在你中间有谗谤人,流人血的; 有在山上吃过祭偶像之物的, 有行淫乱的.

22:10 They uncover the nakedness of a father among you; they violate a woman unclean of menstruation among you.
在你中间有露继母下体羞辱父亲的, 有玷辱月经不洁净之妇人的.

22:11 And a man does a detestable thing with the wife of his neighbor, and a man defiles his daughter-in-law in wickedness, and a man sexually violates among you his sister, the daughter of his father.
这人与邻舍的妻行可憎的事; 那人贪淫玷污儿妇; 还有玷辱同父之姊妹的.

22:12 They take a bribe among you in order to shed blood; and you take usury, and you make gain from your neighbors by extortion, and so you have forgotten me, declares the Lord Yahweh.
在你中间有为流人血受贿赂的; 有向借钱的弟兄取利, 向借粮的弟兄多要的. 且因贪得无餍, 欺压邻舍夺取财物, 竟忘了我. 这是主耶和华说的.

22:13 And look! I strike my hand for your ill-gotten gain that you have made and at your blood that was in the midst of you.
“看哪, 我因你所得不义之财和你中间所流的血, 就拍掌叹息.

22:14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong at the days in which I am dealing with you? I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act!
到了我惩罚你的日子, 你的心还能忍受吗? 你的手还能有力吗? 我─耶和华说了这话, 就必照着行.

22:15 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will disperse you through the countries, and I will purge your uncleanness from you.
我必将你分散在列国, 四散在列邦. 我也必从你中间除掉你的污秽.

22:16 And I will be profaned by you before the eyes of the nations, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
你必在列国人的眼前因自己所行的被亵渎, 你就知道我是耶和华. ”

22:17 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

22:18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become as silver dross to me; all of them are as bronze and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace, even as silver dross, silver dross they became!
“人子啊, 以色列家在我看为渣滓. 他们都是炉中的铜,锡,铁,铅, 都是银渣滓.

22:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because all of you have become as silver dross, therefore look! I am gathering you to the midst of Jerusalem,
所以主耶和华如此说: 因你们都成为渣滓, 我必聚集你们在耶路撒冷中.

22:20 like the gathering of silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin to the middle of a furnace to blow fire on it for melting. Thus I will gather in my anger and in my rage, and I will deposit you, and I will melt you.
人怎样将银,铜,铁,铅,锡聚在炉中, 吹火镕化; 照样, 我也要发怒气和忿怒, 将你们聚集放在城中, 镕化你们.

22:21 And I will gather you, and I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and so I will melt you in the midst of her.
我必聚集你们, 把我烈怒的火吹在你们身上, 你们就在其中镕化.

22:22 Thus you will be melted like the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have poured out my rage on you.’ ”
银子怎样镕化在炉中, 你们也必照样镕化在城中, 你们就知道我─耶和华是将忿怒倒在你们身上了. ”

22:23 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

22:24 “Son of man, say to her, ‘You are a land not cleansed; it is not rained upon in the day of indignation.’
“人子啊, 你要对这地说: 你是未得洁净之地, 在恼恨的日子也没有雨下在你以上.

22:25 The conspiracy of its prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that is tearing prey. They devour people, and they take wealth and treasure; they make its widows numerous in the midst of her.
其中的先知同谋背叛, 如咆哮的狮子抓撕掠物. 他们吞灭人民, 抢夺财宝, 使这地多有寡妇.

22:26 Its priests treat my law violently, and they profane my holy objects; they do not distinguish between a holy object and what is unholy, or between the clean and the unclean. They do not teach the difference, and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and so I am profaned in the midst of them.
其中的祭司强解我的律法, 亵渎我的圣物, 不分别圣的和俗的, 也不使人分辨洁净的和不洁净的, 又遮眼不顾我的安息日; 我也在他们中间被亵慢.

22:27 Its officials are like wolves tearing prey in its midst, to pour out blood, to destroy people, to make dishonest gain.
其中的首领仿佛豺狼抓撕掠物, 杀人流血, 伤害人命, 要得不义之财.

22:28 And for them its prophets plaster whitewash; they are seeing falseness and are practicing divination for them by lying, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh,’ and Yahweh has not spoken.
其中的先知为百姓用未泡透的灰抹墙, 就是为他们见虚假的异象, 用谎诈的占卜, 说: ‘主耶和华如此说’, 其实耶和华没有说.

22:29 They severely oppress the people of the land, and they committed robbery, and they mistreated the needy and the poor, and they oppressed the alien without justice.
国内众民一味地欺压, 惯行抢夺, 亏负困苦穷乏的, 背理欺压寄居的.

22:30 And so I sought for them somebody, one repairing the wall and standing in the breach before me on behalf of the land not to destroy it, but I did not find anyone,
我在他们中间寻找一人重修墙垣, 在我面前为这国站在破口防堵, 使我不灭绝这国, 却找不著一个.

22:31 and so I poured out my indignation on them. With the fire of my wrath I destroyed them; I returned their way upon their head,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
所以我将恼恨倒在他们身上, 用烈怒的火灭了他们, 照他们所行的报应在他们头上. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 23

23:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

23:2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother,
“人子啊, 有两个女子, 是一母所生,

23:3 and they prostituted themselves in Egypt in their childhood; they were prostituting themselves there, and their breasts were fondled, and there they caressed the bosoms of their virginity.
她们在埃及行邪淫, 在幼年时行邪淫. 她们在那里作处女的时候, 有人拥抱她们的怀, 抚摸她们的乳.

23:4 Now as for their names, the older was Oholah, and Oholibah was her sister. And they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters, and their names are Samaria for Oholah, and Jerusalem for Oholibah.
她们的名字, 姊姊名叫阿荷拉, 妹妹名叫阿荷利巴. 她们都归于我, 生了儿女. 论到她们的名字, 阿荷拉就是撒马利亚, 阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷.

23:5 And Oholah prostituted herself while she was still mine, and she lusted for her lovers, for Assyria who was nearby,
“阿荷拉归我之后行邪淫, 贪恋所爱的人, 就是她的邻邦亚述人.

23:6 clothed in blue cloth, governors and prefects, handsome young men and all of them horsemen, experts on horseback.
这些人都穿蓝衣, 作省长,副省长, 都骑着马, 是可爱的少年人.

23:7 And she bestowed her fornication on them, on the choice ones of the Assyrians, all of them, and with every one after which she lusted; with all of their idols she defiled herself.
阿荷拉就与亚述人中最美的男子放纵淫行, 她因所恋爱之人的一切偶像, 玷污自己.

23:8 And her whorings from the time of Egypt she did not abandon, for they slept with her in her childhood, and they caressed the bosoms of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication on her.
自从在埃及的时候, 她就没有离开淫乱, 因为她年幼作处女的时候, 埃及人与她行淫, 抚摸她的乳, 纵欲与她行淫.

23:9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians after whom she lusted.
因此, 我将她交在她所爱的人手中, 就是她所恋爱的亚述人手中.

23:10 They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a name for the women, and they executed judgments against her.
他们就露了她的下体, 掳掠她的儿女, 用刀杀了她, 使她在妇女中留下臭名, 因他们向她施行审判.

23:11 “And though Oholibah her sister saw, yet in her lust she behaved more corruptly than her, and her whoring was more than the prostitution of her sister.
她妹妹阿荷利巴虽然看见了, 却还贪恋, 比她姊姊更丑; 行淫乱比她姊姊更多.

23:12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and prefects, warriors clothed in perfection, expert horsemen, all of them handsome young men.
她贪恋邻邦的亚述人, 就是穿极华美的衣服, 骑著马的省长,副省长, 都是可爱的少年人.

23:13 And I saw that she was defiled; they had both taken the same path!
我看见她被玷污了, 她姊妹二人同行一路.

23:14 And she increased her whorings, and she saw men carved on the wall, images of Chaldeans carved in red,
阿荷利巴又加增淫行, 因她看见人像画在墙上, 就是用丹色所画迦勒底人的像,

23:15 belted with a belt at their waist with turbans on their heads, all of them giving the appearance of adjutants, the image of the Babylonians; Chaldea was the land of their birth.
腰间系著带子, 头上有下垂的裹头巾, 都是军长的形状, 仿照巴比伦人的形像; 他们的故土就是迦勒底.

23:16 And she lusted for them when her eyes saw them, and she sent messengers to them at Chaldea.
阿荷利巴一看见就贪恋他们, 打发使者往迦勒底去见他们.

23:17 And so the Babylonians came to her for the bed of lovemaking; and they defiled her with their fornication, and she was defiled by them, and she turned from them.
巴比伦人就来登她爱情的床, 与她行淫玷污她. 她被玷污, 随后心里与他们生疏.

23:18 And she revealed her whorings, and she revealed her nakedness, and so I turned from her just as I turned from her sister.
这样, 她显露淫行, 又显露下体; 我心就与她生疏, 像先前与她姊姊生疏一样.

23:19 Yet she increased her whorings, recalling the days of her childhood when she was prostituted in the land of Egypt.
她还加增她的淫行, 追念她幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子,

23:20 And she lusted after her male lovers whose genitalia were the genitalia of male donkeys and their seminal emission was the seminal emission of horses.
贪恋情人身壮精足, 如驴如马.

23:21 And you longed after the obscene conduct of your youth when your bosom was caressed by Egypt, fondling your young breasts.
这样, 你就想起你幼年的淫行. 那时, 埃及人拥抱你的怀, 抚摸你的乳.

23:22 “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am stirring up your lovers against you concerning whom you turned away, and I will bring them against you from all around:
阿荷利巴啊, 主耶和华如此说: “我必激动你先爱而后生疏的人来攻击你. 我必使他们来, 在你四围攻击你.

23:23 the Babylonians and all of the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all of the Assyrians along with them, handsome young men, governors and prefects, all of them adjutants and excellent horsemen.
所来的就是巴比伦人,迦勒底的众人,比割人,书亚人,哥亚人, 同着他们的还有亚述众人, 乃是作省长,副省长,作军长有名声的, 都骑着马, 是可爱的少年人.

23:24 And they will come against you with an army chariot and wagon and with a crowd of peoples; they will set themselves against you from all around with large shield and small shield and helmet. And I will give before them judgment, and they will judge you with their judgments.
他们必带兵器,战车,辎重车, 率领大众来攻击你. 他们要拿大小盾牌, 顶盔摆阵, 在你四围攻击你. 我要将审判的事交给他们, 他们必按著自己的条例审判你.

23:25 And I will direct my zeal against you, and they will deal with you in anger; your nose and your ears they will remove, and those who are left, they will fall by the sword, and they will take your sons and your daughters, and your remnant will be consumed by fire.
我必以忌恨攻击你; 他们必以忿怒办你. 他们必割去你的鼻子和耳朵; 你遗留(或译: 余剩; 下同)的人必倒在刀下. 他们必掳去你的儿女; 你所遗留的必被火焚烧.

23:26 And they will strip you of your clothes, and they will take your splendid jewelry.
他们必剥去你的衣服, 夺取你华美的宝器.

23:27 And I will put an end to your obscene conduct coming from you and your fornication from the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them; and you will not remember Egypt again.’
这样, 我必使你的淫行和你从埃及地染来的淫乱止息了, 使你不再仰望亚述, 也不再追念埃及.

23:28 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am giving you into the hand of those you hated, into the hand of those from whom you turned away.
主耶和华如此说: 我必将你交在你所恨恶的人手中, 就是你心与他生疏的人手中.

23:29 And they will deal with you in hatred, and they will take all of your acquisitions, and they will leave you naked and in bareness; and the nakedness of your fornication and your obscene conduct and your whorings will be exposed.
他们必以恨恶办你, 夺取你一切劳碌得来的, 留下你赤身露体. 你淫乱的下体, 连你的淫行, 带你的淫乱, 都被显露.

23:30 These things are accomplished against you since you prostituted yourself after the nations, and on account of that, you defiled yourself by their idols.
人必向你行这些事; 因为你随从外邦人行邪淫, 被他们的偶像玷污了.

23:31 You went in the same way of your sister, and I will give her cup into your hand.” ’
你走了你姊姊所走的路, 所以我必将她的杯交在你手中. ”

23:32 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You will drink the deep and wide cup of your sister; you will be as laughter and as scorn; the cup holds so much!
主耶和华如此说: 你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯; 那杯又深又广, 盛得甚多, 使你被人嗤笑讥刺.

23:33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, for a cup of horror and desolation is the cup of your sister, Samaria.
你必酩酊大醉, 满有愁苦, 喝干你姊姊撒马利亚的杯, 就是令人惊骇凄凉的杯.

23:34 And you will drink it, and you will drain it, and its potsherds you will gnaw, and you will tear out your breasts, for I myself spoke,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你必喝这杯, 以致喝尽. 杯破又龈杯片, 撕裂自己的乳; 因为这事我曾说过. 这是主耶和华说的.

23:35 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because you have forgotten me, and you threw me behind your back, now in turn you bear your obscene conduct and your whorings.”
主耶和华如此说: “因你忘记我, 将我丢在背后, 所以你要担当你淫行和淫乱的报应. ”

23:36 And Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and declare their abominable deeds to them?
耶和华又对我说: “人子啊, 你要审问阿荷拉与阿荷利巴吗? 当指出她们所行可憎的事.

23:37 For they committed adultery, and blood is on their hands, and they committed adultery with their idols, and even their children that they had borne for me—they sacrificed them as food!
她们行淫, 手中有杀人的血, 又与偶像行淫, 并使她们为我所生的儿女经火烧给偶像.

23:38 Also they did this to me: they defiled my sanctuary on that day, and they profaned my Sabbaths,
此外, 她们还有向我所行的, 就是同日玷污我的圣所, 干犯我的安息日.

23:39 and when they slaughtered their children for their idols, they came to my sanctuary on that day to profane it. And look, this is what they did in my house!
她们杀了儿女献与偶像, 当天又入我的圣所, 将圣所亵渎了. 她们在我殿中所行的乃是如此.

23:40 What is worse, they sent for men who come from a distant place, to whom a messenger was sent to them, and look! They came! Men for whom you bathed and painted your eyes, and you adorned yourself with an ornament.
“况且你们二妇打发使者去请远方人. 使者到他们那里, 他们就来了. 你们为他们沐浴己身, 粉饰眼目, 佩戴妆饰,

23:41 And you sat on a magnificent couch and a table prepared before her, and my incense and my olive oil you put on her.
坐在华美的床上, 前面摆设桌案, 将我的香料膏油摆在其上.

23:42 And a sound of a carefree crowd was with it, and in addition to these men, a crowd of drunken men was brought in from the desert, and they put bracelets on their arms and a crown of splendor on their heads.
在那里有群众安逸欢乐的声音, 并有粗俗的人和酒徒从旷野同来, 把镯子戴在二妇的手上, 把华冠戴在她们的头上.

23:43 And I said to the one worn out with adulteries, ‘Now they will prostitute her concerning her fornication, even her.’
“我论这行淫衰老的妇人说: 现在人还要与她行淫, 她也要与人行淫.

23:44 And so they went to her like going to a female prostitute; and thus they went to Oholah and to Oholibah, the women of obscene conduct.
人与阿荷拉, 并阿荷利巴二淫妇茍合, 好像与妓女苟合.

23:45 But righteous men, they will judge them with the judgment of committing adultery, and with the judgment of shedding blood; for they were committing adultery, and blood was on their hands.”
必有义人, 照审判淫妇和流人血的妇人之例, 审判她们; 因为她们是淫妇, 手中有杀人的血. ”

23:46 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Bring up against them an assembly, and make them as a thing of horror and as plunder.
主耶和华如此说: “我必使多人来攻击她们, 使她们抛来抛去, 被人抢夺.

23:47 And an assembly must stone them with stones, and they must cut them down. With their swords they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and with fire they shall burn their houses.
这些人必用石头打死她们, 用刀剑杀害她们, 又杀戮她们的儿女, 用火焚烧她们的房屋.

23:48 And I will cause obscene conduct to cease from the land, and all of the women will be warned, and they will not do according to your wickedness.
这样, 我必使淫行从境内止息, 好叫一切妇人都受警戒, 不效法你们的淫行.

23:49 And they will repay your obscene conduct upon you, and the guilt of your idols you will bear, and you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
人必照着你们的淫行报应你们; 你们要担当拜偶像的罪, 就知道我是主耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 24

24:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
第九年十月初十日, 耶和华的话又临到我说:

24:2 “Son of man, write for yourself the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem on exactly this day!
“人子啊, 今日正是巴比伦王就近耶路撒冷的日子, 你要将这日记下,

24:3 And deliver a proverb to the rebellious house, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Place the pot! Place it and also pour water into it.
要向这悖逆之家设比喻说, 主耶和华如此说: 将锅放在火上, 放好了, 就倒水在其中;

24:4 Gather its pieces to it, every good piece, thigh and shoulder, fill it with choice bones;
将肉块, 就是一切肥美的肉块,腿, 和肩都聚在其中, 拿美好的骨头把锅装满;

24:5 take the choicest of the flock, and also pile the bones under it; boil it vigorously; indeed, its bones boiled in the midst of it.” ’ ”
取羊群中最好的, 将柴堆在锅下, 使锅开滚, 好把骨头煮在其中.

24:6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the city of bloodguilt! A pot that has its rust in it; its rust did not go out from it. Bring it out piece by piece; one is as good as another.
“主耶和华如此说: 祸哉! 这流人血的城, 就是长锈的锅. 其中的锈未曾除掉, 须要将肉块从其中一一取出来, 不必为它拈阄.

24:7 For her blood was in the midst of her; she put it on a bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上, 不倒在地上, 用土掩盖.

24:8 To stir up rage, to avenge myself through vengeance, I placed its blood on the barrenness of a rock, so that it may not be covered.”
这城中所流的血倒在净光的磐石上, 不得掩盖, 乃是出于我, 为要发忿怒施行报应.

24:9 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the city of bloodguilt! I, even I, will make the pile of wood great!
所以主耶和华如此说: 祸哉! 这流人血的城, 我也必大堆火柴,

24:10 Pile up the logs; kindle the fire; finish cooking the meat, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned.
添上木柴, 使火著旺, 将肉煮烂, 把汤熬浓, 使骨头烤焦;

24:11 And make it stand empty upon its burning coals so that it may become hot, and its copper may become molten and be melted in the midst of it, so that its uncleanness and its rust be consumed.
把锅倒空坐在炭火上, 使锅烧热, 使铜烧红, 镕化其中的污秽, 除净其上的锈.

24:12 Through effort she has caused weariness; its thick rust went not out of it. Its rust! Into the fire with its rust!
这锅劳碌疲乏, 所长的大锈仍未除掉; 这锈就是用火也不能除掉.

24:13 In your uncleanness is obscene conduct, because I cleansed you, but you were not clean from your uncleanness; you will not be clean again until I fully vent my rage on you.
在你污秽中有淫行, 我洁净你, 你却不洁净. 你的污秽再不能洁净, 直等我向你发的忿怒止息.

24:14 I, Yahweh, I have spoken. It is coming, and I did it; I will not disregard, and I will not take pity, and I will not reconsider. According to your ways and according to your deeds they will judge you!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我─耶和华说过的必定成就, 必照话而行, 必不返回, 必不顾惜, 也不后悔. 人必照你的举动行为审判你. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

24:15 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

24:16 “Son of man, look! I am taking from you what is pleasing to your eyes with a plague, but you shall not mourn, and you shall not weep, and your tears shall not run down.
“人子啊, 我要将你眼目所喜爱的忽然取去, 你却不可悲哀哭泣, 也不可流泪,

24:17 Sigh in silence for the dead; you shall not make a mourning ceremony. Bind your turban on you, and you must put your sandals on your feet. You must not cover your upper lip, and the bread of mourners you shall not eat.”
只可叹息, 不可出声, 不可办理丧事; 头上仍勒裹头巾, 脚上仍穿鞋, 不可蒙著嘴唇, 也不可吃吊丧的食物. ”

24:18 And I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening, and I did in the morning just as I was commanded.
于是我将这事早晨告诉百姓, 晚上我的妻就死了. 次日早晨我便遵命而行.

24:19 And the people said to me, “Will you not make known to us what these things that you are doing mean for us?”
百姓问我说: “你这样行与我们有甚么关系, 你不告诉我们么? ”

24:20 And I said to them that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
我回答他们: “耶和华的话临到我说:

24:21 “Say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I will be profaning my sanctuary, the pride of your strength and the delight of your eyes and the object of your own affection; and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind will fall by the sword,
‘你告诉以色列家, 主耶和华如此说: 我必使我的圣所, 就是你们势力所夸耀,眼里所喜爱,心中所爱惜的被亵渎, 并且你们所遗留的儿女必倒在刀下.

24:22 and you shall do just as I did: You shall not cover your upper lip, and you shall not eat the bread of mourners.
那时, 你们必行我仆人所行的, 不蒙著嘴唇, 也不吃吊丧的食物.

24:23 And your turban must be on your heads, and your sandals must be on your feet. You shall not mourn, and you shall not weep, but you shall waste away because of your iniquities, and you shall groan to one another.
你们仍要头上勒裹头巾, 脚上穿鞋; 不可悲哀哭泣. 你们必因自己的罪孽相对叹息, 渐渐消灭.

24:24 And Ezekiel will be to you as a sign; everything that he did you shall do; and when it comes you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
以西结必这样为你们作预兆; 凡他所行的, 你们也必照样行. 那事来到, 你们就知道我是主耶和华.

24:25 “And you, son of man, will it not be that on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the delight of their eyes, and the longing of their inner self, their sons and daughters—
“人子啊, 我除掉他们所倚靠,所欢喜的荣耀, 并眼中所喜爱,心里所重看的儿女.

24:26 on that day a survivor will come to you with the news.
那日逃脱的人岂不来到你这里, 使你耳闻这事吗?

24:27 On that day your mouth shall be opened at the arrival of the fugitive, and you shall speak, and you shall not be silent any longer, and you shall be to them as a sign, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
你必向逃脱的人开口说话, 不再哑口. 你必这样为他们作预兆, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 25

25:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

25:2 “Son of man, set your face toward the Ammonites and prophesy against them,
“人子啊, 你要面向亚扪人说预言, 攻击他们,

25:3 and you must say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of your saying, ‘Ah!’ to my sanctuary when it was profaned, and to the land of Israel when it was desolate, and to the house of Judah when they went into the exile,
说: 你们当听主耶和华的话. 主耶和华如此说: 我的圣所被亵渎, 以色列地变荒凉, 犹大家被掳掠; 那时, 你便因这些事说: ‘阿哈! ’

25:4 therefore look! I am giving you to the people of the East as a possession, and they will set up their encampments in you, and they will make in you their dwelling places; they themselves will eat your fruit and they themselves will drink your milk.
所以我必将你的地交给东方人为业; 他们必在你的地上安营居住, 吃你的果子, 喝你的奶.

25:5 And I will make Rabbah as a pasture of camels and the Ammonites as a haunt of flocks, and they will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
我必使拉巴为骆驼场, 使亚扪人的地为羊群躺卧之处, 你们就知道我是耶和华. ”

25:6 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of clapping your hand and stamping with your foot, and because you rejoiced in yourself with all of your malice over the land of Israel,
主耶和华如此说: “因你拍手顿足, 以满心的恨恶向以色列地欢喜,

25:7 therefore look! I stretched out my hand against you, and I will give you as plunder to the nations, and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will destroy you from the countries, and I will wipe you out, and you will know that I am Yahweh.”
所以我伸手攻击你, 将你交给列国作为掳物. 我必从万民中剪除你, 使你从万国中败亡. 我必除灭你, 你就知道我是耶和华. ”

25:8 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of Moab and Seir saying, ‘The house of Judah is like all of the nations,’
主耶和华如此说: “因摩押和西珥人说: ‘看哪, 犹大家与列国无异’,

25:9 therefore, look! I am opening the side of Moab from the cities on its frontier, the glory of the land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
所以我要破开摩押边界上的城邑, 就是摩押人看为本国之荣耀的伯‧耶西末,巴力‧免,基列亭,

25:10 I will give it to the people of the East in addition to the Ammonites as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations.
好使东方人来攻击亚扪人. 我必将亚扪人之地交给他们为业, 使亚扪人在列国中不再被记念.

25:11 And on Moab I will execute punishments, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
我必向摩押施行审判, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

25:12 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of the doings of Edom in avenging himself with vengeance for the house of Judah, and so they became very guilty and they avenged themselves on them,”
主耶和华如此说: “因为以东报仇雪恨, 攻击犹大家, 向他们报仇, 大大有罪,

25:13 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “so I will stretch out my hand against Edom and I will cut off from it both human and animal, and I will make it a ruin from Teman and Dedan; they will fall by the sword.
所以主耶和华如此说: 我必伸手攻击以东, 剪除人与牲畜, 使以东从提幔起, 人必倒在刀下, 地要变为荒凉, 直到底但.

25:14 And I will exact my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my rage, and they will know my vengeance,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必藉我民以色列的手报复以东; 以色列民必照我的怒气, 按我的忿怒在以东施报, 以东人就知道是我施报. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

25:15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of the acting of the Philistines in vengeance, so that they avenged themselves relentlessly with malice in themselves for destruction with everlasting hostility,
主耶和华如此说: “因非利士人向犹大人报仇, 就是以恨恶的心报仇雪恨, 永怀仇恨, 要毁灭他们,

25:16 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am stretching out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites, and I will destroy the remainder of the seacoast.
所以主耶和华如此说: 我必伸手攻击非利士人, 剪除基利提人, 灭绝沿海剩下的居民.

25:17 And I will execute on them great vengeance with punishments of rage, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I exact my vengeance on them!”
我向他们大施报应, 发怒斥责他们. 我报复他们的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 26

26:1 And it was in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
第十一年十一月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

26:2 “Son of man, because Tyre said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Ah! The gates of the peoples are broken; it has swung open to me; I shall be filled, for it lies in ruins!’
“人子啊, 因泰尔向耶路撒冷说: ‘阿哈, 那作众民之门的已经破坏, 向我开放; 她既变为荒场, 我必丰盛. ’

26:3 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring up against you many nations like the stirring up of the sea stirring up its waves.
所以, 主耶和华如此说: 泰尔啊, 我必与你为敌, 使许多国民上来攻击你, 如同海使波浪涌上来一样.

26:4 And I will destroy the walls of Tyre, and they will demolish its towers, and I will scrape away its earthen dirt from it, and I will make it into a bare rock.
他们必破坏泰尔的墙垣, 拆毁她的城楼. 我也要刮净尘土, 使她成为净光的磐石.

26:5 It will become a place for spreading out dragnets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken,’ declares the Lord Yahweh. ‘And it will become as plunder for the nations,
她必在海中作晒网的地方, 也必成为列国的掳物. 这是主耶和华说的.

26:6 and its daughters who are in the field with the sword, they will be killed; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
属泰尔城邑的居民(原文是田间的众女; 八节同)必被刀剑杀灭, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

26:7 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am bringing to Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horse and with chariot and with horsemen and his assembly and many people.
主耶和华如此说: “我必使诸王之王的巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领马匹车辆,马兵,军队, 和许多人民从北方来攻击你泰尔.

26:8 Your daughters he will kill in the field with the sword, and he will place against you siege works, and he will build against you a siege ramp, and he will raise against you a shield,
他必用刀剑杀灭属你城邑的居民, 也必造台筑垒举盾牌攻击你.

26:9 and the thrust of his battering ram he will direct against your walls, and your towers he will break down with his weapons.
他必安设撞城锤攻破你的墙垣, 用铁器拆毁你的城楼.

26:10 From the abundance of his horses he will cover you with their fine dust; at the sound of horseman and wheel and chariot your walls will shake, at his coming into your gates like the entrance of a city that is being broken through.
因他的马匹众多, 尘土扬起遮蔽你. 他进入你的城门, 好像人进入已有破口之城. 那时, 你的墙垣必因骑马的和战车,辎重车的响声震动.

26:11 With the hooves of his horses he will trample all of your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong stone pillars will tumble down to the earth.
他的马蹄必践踏你一切的街道, 他必用刀杀戮你的居民; 你坚固的柱子(或译: 柱像)必倒在地上.

26:12 And they will plunder your wealth, and they will loot your merchandise, and they will break down your walls, and the houses of your delight they will break down, and your stones and your timbers and your earthen dirt they will cast into the midst of the water.
人必以你的财宝为掳物, 以你的货财为掠物, 破坏你的墙垣, 拆毁你华美的房屋, 将你的石头,木头,尘土都抛在水中.

26:13 And, I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your lyres will not be heard any longer.
我必使你唱歌的声音止息, 人也不再听见你弹琴的声音.

26:14 And I will make you into a bare rock, a place for the spreading out of dragnets. You will not be built again, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使你成为净光的磐石, 作晒网的地方; 你不得再被建造, 因为这是主耶和华说的. ”

26:15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre, “Will not the coastlands shake from the sound of your downfall, at the groaning of the wounded, at people being killed in the midst of you?
主耶和华对泰尔如此说: “在你中间行杀戮, 受伤之人唉哼的时候, 因你倾倒的响声, 海岛岂不都震动吗?

26:16 And all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, and they will remove their robes, and their beautiful garments of finished cloth they will take off. With terror they will be clothed, and on the ground they will sit, and they will tremble continually, and they will be appalled over you.
那时靠海的君王必都下位, 除去朝服, 脱下花衣, 披上战兢, 坐在地上, 时刻发抖, 为你惊骇.

26:17 And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you, ‘How you have been lost who was inhabited from the seas; the city that was praised, that was strong. It is located on the sea, and its inhabitants imposed their terror on all of its inhabitants.
他们必为你作起哀歌说: 你这有名之城, 素为航海之人居住, 在海上为最坚固的; 平日你和居民使一切住在那里的人无不惊恐; 现在何竟毁灭了?

26:18 Now the coastlands will tremble at the day of your downfall, and the islands that are in the sea will be horrified because of your departure.’ ”
如今在你这倾覆的日子, 海岛都必战兢; 海中的群岛见你归于无有就都惊惶. ”

26:19 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when bringing up over you the deep, the great surging waters will cover you.
主耶和华如此说: “泰尔啊, 我使你变为荒凉, 如无人居住的城邑; 又使深水漫过你, 大水淹没你.

26:20 And I will bring you down with those who are going down to the grave, an ancient people, and I will cause you to dwell in the world of the depths, in the ruins from of old with those who are going down to the grave, so that you will not be inhabited and have a place in the land of the living.
那时, 我要叫你下入阴府, 与古时的人一同在地的深处,久已荒凉之地居住, 使你不再有居民. 我也要在活人之地显荣耀(我也……荣耀: 或译在活人之地不再有荣耀).

26:21 Sudden terrors I will bring on you, and you shall no longer exist; and you will be sought, and you will not be found again forever,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必叫你令人惊恐, 不再存留于世; 人虽寻找你, 却永寻不见. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

耶和华的话又临到我说:

“人子啊, 要为泰尔作起哀歌,

Ezekiel - Chapter 28

28:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

28:2 “Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because your heart was haughty, and you said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of the gods, I sit in the heart of the seas!’ But you are a human, not a god, and you gave your heart to be like the heart of a god.
“人子啊, 你对泰尔君王说, 主耶和华如此说: 因你心里高傲, 说: 我是神; 我在海中坐神之位. 你虽然居心自比神, 也不过是人, 并不是神!

28:3 Look, are you wiser than Daniel, so that no secret is hidden from you?
看哪, 你比但以理更有智慧, 甚么祕事都不能向你隐藏.

28:4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gained for yourself wealth, and you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.
你靠自己的智慧聪明得了金银财宝, 收入库中.

28:5 By the abundance of your wisdom in your trading you have increased your wealth and your heart was proud in your wealth.” ’ ”
你靠自己的大智慧和贸易增添资财, 又因资财心里高傲.

28:6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of your regarding your mind like the mind of a god,
“所以主耶和华如此说: 因你居心自比神,

28:7 therefore look! I am bringing strangers over you, the most ruthless of the peoples, and they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor.
我必使外邦人, 就是列国中的强暴人临到你这里; 他们必拔刀砍坏你用智慧得来的美物, 亵渎你的荣光.

28:8 They will thrust you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.
他们必使你下坑; 你必死在海中, 与被杀的人一样.

28:9 Will you indeed still say “I am a god!” before the face of your killers? And in fact you are a human and not a god in the hand of those who pierce you.
在杀你的人面前你还能说“我是神”吗? 其实你在杀害你的人手中, 不过是人, 并不是神.

28:10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers, for I myself have spoken!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
你必死在外邦人手中, 与未受割礼(或译: 不洁; 下同)的人一样, 因为这是主耶和华说的. ”

28:11 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

28:12 “Son of man, raise a lament over the king of Tyre, and you must say to him, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You were a perfect model of an example, full of wisdom and perfect of beauty.
“人子啊, 你为泰尔王作起哀歌, 说主耶和华如此说: 你无所不备, 智慧充足, 全然美丽.

28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God, and every precious stone was your adornment: carnelian, topaz and moonstone, turquoise, onyx and jasper, sapphire, malachite and emerald. And gold was the craftsmanship of your settings and your mountings in you; on the day when you were created they were prepared.
你曾在伊甸神的园中, 佩戴各样宝石, 就是红宝石,红璧玺,金钢石,水苍玉,红玛瑙,碧玉,蓝宝石,绿宝石,红玉, 和黄金; 又有精美的鼓笛在你那里, 都是在你受造之日预备齐全的.

28:14 You were an anointed guardian cherub, and I placed you on God’s holy mountain; you walked in the midst of stones of fire.
你是那受膏遮掩约柜的基路伯; 我将你安置在神的圣山上; 你在发光如火的宝石中间往来.

28:15 You were blameless in your ways from the day when you were created, until wickedness was found in you.
你从受造之日所行的都完全, 后来在你中间又察出不义.

28:16 In the abundance of your trading, they filled the midst of you with violence, and you sinned; and I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I expelled you, the guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
因你贸易很多, 就被强暴的事充满, 以致犯罪, 所以我因你亵渎圣地, 就从神的山驱逐你. 遮掩约柜的基路伯啊, 我已将你从发光如火的宝石中除灭.

28:17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you ruined your wisdom because of your splendor. I threw you on the ground before kings; I have exposed you for viewing.
你因美丽心中高傲, 又因荣光败坏智慧, 我已将你摔倒在地, 使你倒在君王面前, 好叫他们目睹眼见.

28:18 From the abundance of your iniquities in the dishonesty of your trading, I profaned your sanctuaries and I brought fire from your midst; it consumed you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth before the eyes of everyone who sees you.
你因罪孽众多, 贸易不公, 就亵渎你那里的圣所. 故此, 我使火从你中间发出, 烧灭你, 使你在所有观看的人眼前变为地上的炉灰.

28:19 All who know you among the peoples are appalled over you; you have become as horrors, and you shall cease to exist forever.” ’ ”
各国民中, 凡认识你的, 都必为你惊奇. 你令人惊恐, 不再存留于世, 直到永远. ”

28:20 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

28:21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against it,
“人子啊, 你要向西顿预言攻击她,

28:22 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, Sidon, and I display my glory in the midst of you, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I execute my judgments, and I will show myself holy within it.
说主耶和华如此说: 西顿哪, 我与你为敌, 我必在你中间得荣耀. 我在你中间施行审判,显为圣的时候, 人就知道我是耶和华.

28:23 And I will send into it a plague, and blood will be in its streets. And the dead will fall in the midst of her by the sword that is against it from all around; and they will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使瘟疫进入西顿, 使血流在她街上. 被杀的必在其中仆倒, 四围有刀剑临到她, 人就知道我是耶和华. ”

28:24 And there will not be any longer a painful thorn and a sharp thornbush for the house of Israel from anywhere around them from those who are despising them, and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.” ’ ”
“四围恨恶以色列家的人, 必不再向他们作刺人的荆棘, 伤人的蒺藜, 人就知道我是主耶和华. ”

28:25 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples to which they were scattered about in them, and I show myself holy in them before the eyes of the nations, then they will live on their soil, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
主耶和华如此说: “我将分散在万民中的以色列家招聚回来, 向他们在列邦人眼前显为圣的时候, 他们就在我赐给我仆人雅各之地, 仍然居住.

28:26 And they will live on it in safety, and they will build houses, and they will plant vineyards, and they will live in safety when I execute my judgments on all those who despise them from all around them, and then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”
他们要在这地上安然居住. 我向四围恨恶他们的众人施行审判以后, 他们要盖造房屋, 栽种葡萄园, 安然居住, 就知道我是耶和华─他们的神. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 29

29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
第十年十月十二日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

29:2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against Egypt, all of it.
“人子啊, 你要向埃及王法老预言攻击他和埃及全地,

29:3 Speak, and you must say, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great sea monster, the one lying down in the midst of his Nile streams, who says to me, “It is my Nile, and I made it for myself.”
说主耶和华如此说: 埃及王法老啊, 我与你这卧在自己河中的大鱼为敌. 你曾说: 这河是我的, 是我为自己造的.

29:4 And so I will put hooks in your jawbones, and I will make the fish of your Nile streams stick to your scales, and I will bring you up from the midst of your Nile streams, and all of the fish of your Nile streams which cling to your scales.
我─耶和华必用钩子钩住你的腮颊, 又使江河中的鱼贴住你的鳞甲; 我必将你和所有贴住你鳞甲的鱼, 从江河中拉上来,

29:5 And I will fling you to the desert, you and all the fish of your Nile streams. On the surface of the field you will fall; you will not be gathered, and you will not be assembled. To the animals of the field and to the birds of the heavens I will give you as food.
把你并江河中的鱼都抛在旷野; 你必倒在田间, 不被收殓, 不被掩埋. 我已将你给地上野兽,空中飞鸟作食物.

29:6 And all of the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because of their being a staff of reed for the house of Israel.
“埃及一切的居民, 因向以色列家成了芦苇的杖, 就知道我是耶和华.

29:7 When they took hold of you with the hand, you snapped, and you split their every shoulder. And when they leaned on you, you broke, and you caused all of their loins to wobble.”
他们用手持住你, 你就断折, 伤了他们的肩; 他们倚靠你, 你就断折, 闪了他们的腰.

29:8 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am bringing on you a sword, and I will cut off from you human and animal.
所以主耶和华如此说: 我必使刀剑临到你, 从你中间将人与牲畜剪除.

29:9 And the land of Egypt will become a desolation and ruins, and they will know that I am Yahweh because he said, ‘The Nile is mine! And I, I made it!’
埃及地必荒废凄凉, 他们就知道我是耶和华. “因为法老说: ‘这河是我的, 是我所造的’,

29:10 Therefore look! I am against you and against your Nile streams, and I will make the land of Egypt into ruins, a pile of rubble, a desolation from Migdol to Syene and up to the boundary of Cush.
所以我必与你并你的江河为敌, 使埃及地, 从色弗尼塔直到古实境界, 全然荒废凄凉.

29:11 A foot of a human will not pass over it, and a foot of an animal will not pass over it, and so it will not be inhabited for forty years.
人的脚,兽的蹄都不经过, 四十年之久并无人居住.

29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and its cities to be in the midst of ruined cities. They will be a desolation for forty years, and I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them among the countries.”
我必使埃及地在荒凉的国中成为荒凉, 使埃及城在荒废的城中变为荒废, 共有四十年. 我必将埃及人分散在列国, 四散在列邦. ”

29:13 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered.
主耶和华如此说: “满了四十年, 我必招聚分散在各国民中的埃及人.

29:14 And I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and I will bring them back to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and they will be a lowly kingdom there.
我必叫埃及被掳的人回来, 使他们归回本地巴忒罗. 在那里必成为低微的国,

29:15 Of all the kingdoms it will be the most lowly, and it will not exalt itself again over the nations, and I will make them small so as not to rule over the nations.
必为列国中最低微的, 也不再自高于列国之上. 我必减少他们, 以致不再辖制列国.

29:16 And it will not be again for the house of Israel an object of trust, bringing to remembrance their guilt when they turned back to them, and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
埃及必不再作以色列家所倚靠的; 以色列家仰望埃及人的时候, 便思念罪孽. 他们就知道我是主耶和华. ”

29:17 And then in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
二十七年正月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

29:18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, he made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was rubbed bare, and every shoulder was rubbed raw, but a wage was not paid for him and for his army from Tyre for the labor that he did against it.”
“人子啊, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒使他的军兵大大效劳, 攻打泰尔, 以致头都光秃, 肩都磨破; 然而他和他的军兵攻打泰尔, 并没有从那里得甚么酬劳.

29:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am giving to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he will carry its wealth away, and he will plunder its plunder, and he will loot its loot, and it will be a wage for his army.
所以主耶和华如此说: 我必将埃及地赐给巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒; 他必掳掠埃及群众, 抢其中的财为掳物, 夺其中的货为掠物, 这就可以作他军兵的酬劳.

29:20 As his wages that he worked for, I will give to him the land of Egypt, because they worked for me,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我将埃及地赐给他, 酬他所效的劳, 因王与军兵是为我勤劳. 这是主耶和华说的.

29:21 “On that day I will cause power to grow up for the house of Israel, and for you I will give an opening of your mouth in the midst of them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
“当那日, 我必使以色列家的角发生, 又必使你─以西结在他们中间得以开口; 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 30

30:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

30:2 “Son of man, prophesy, and you must say, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Wail, alas! For the day!
“人子啊, 你要发预言说, 主耶和华如此说: 哀哉这日! 你们应当哭号.

30:3 For a day is near; indeed, a day is near for Yahweh. A day of cloud, a time of the nations it will be.
因为耶和华的日子临近, 就是密云之日, 列国受罚之期.

30:4 And a sword will come in Egypt, and anguish will be in Cush, at the falling of the slain in Egypt. And they will take its wealth, and its foundation will be demolished.
必有刀剑临到埃及; 在埃及被杀之人仆倒的时候, 古实人就有痛苦, 人民必被掳掠, 基址必被拆毁.

30:5 Cush and Put and Lud and all of Arabia and Kub and the people of the land of the treaty with them—by the sword they will fall.”
古实人,弗人(或译: 利比亚),路德人,杂族的人民, 并古巴人, 以及同盟之地的人都要与埃及人一同倒在刀下. ”

30:6 Thus says Yahweh: “And the supporters of Egypt will fall, and the majesty of its strength will go down from Migdol to Syene; by the sword they will fall in it,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
耶和华如此说: 扶助埃及的也必倾倒. 埃及因势力而有的骄傲必降低微; 其中的人民, 从色弗尼塔起(见二十九章十节)必倒在刀下. 这是主耶和华说的.

30:7 “And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and its cities will be in the midst of ruined cities.
埃及地在荒凉的国中必成为荒凉; 埃及城在荒废的城中也变为荒废.

30:8 And they will know that I am Yahweh when I put my fire in Egypt, and all of its helpers are broken.
我在埃及中使火著起; 帮助埃及的, 都被灭绝. 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

30:9 On that day messengers will go down from before me in the ships to terrify unsuspecting Cush, and anguish will be in them on the day of Egypt; for look, it is coming!”
“到那日, 必有使者坐船, 从我面前出去, 使安逸无虑的古实人惊惧; 必有痛苦临到他们, 好像埃及遭灾的日子一样. 看哪, 这事临近了!

30:10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And I will put an end to the crowds of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon.
主耶和华如此说: 我必藉巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手, 除灭埃及众人.

30:11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations, will be brought to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords against Egypt, and they will fill the land with the slain,
他和随从他的人, 就是列国中强暴的, 必进来毁灭这地. 他们必拔刀攻击埃及, 使遍地有被杀的人.

30:12 and I will make the Nile streams dry land, and I will sell the land into the hand of bad people, and I will lay waste the land and its fullness by the hand of strangers. I, Yahweh, I have spoken.”
我必使江河干涸, 将地卖在恶人的手中; 我必藉外邦人的手, 使这地和其中所有的变为凄凉. 这是我─耶和华说的.

30:13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And I will destroy the idols, and I will put an end to the worthless idols from Memphis. And there will no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt, and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.
主耶和华如此说: 我必毁灭偶像, 从挪弗除灭神像; 必不再有君王出自埃及地. 我要使埃及地的人惧怕.

30:14 And I will lay waste Pathros, and I will set fire in Zoan, and I will execute judgments in No.
我必使巴忒罗荒凉, 在琐安中使火著起, 向挪施行审判.

30:15 I will pour out my rage over Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, and I will cut off the crowd of No.
我必将我的忿怒倒在埃及的保障上, 就是训上, 并要剪除挪的众人.

30:16 And I will set fire in Egypt, certainly Sin will writhe, and No will be breached, and Memphis will face enemies daily.
我必在埃及中使火著起; 训必大大痛苦; 挪必被攻破; 挪弗白日(或译: 终日)见仇敌.

30:17 The young men of On and Pi Beseth will fall by the sword, and they will go into captivity.
亚文和比伯实的少年人必倒在刀下; 这些城的人必被掳掠.

30:18 And at Tahpanhes the day will become dark when I break the yoke of Egypt, and in it the majesty of its strength will come to an end. A cloud will cover it, and its daughters will go into captivity.
我在答比匿折断埃及的诸轭, 使她因势力而有的骄傲在其中止息. 那时, 日光必退去; 至于这城, 必有密云遮蔽, 其中的女子必被掳掠.

30:19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
我必这样向埃及施行审判, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

30:20 And then in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十一年正月初七日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

30:21 “Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, I have broken. And look, it has not been bound up for giving of a remedy, or for the placing of a splint to bind it up to make it strong to take hold of the sword.”
“人子啊, 我已打折埃及王法老的膀臂; 没有敷药, 也没有用布缠好, 使他有力持刀.

30:22 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will break his strong arm and the broken arm, and I will let the sword fall from his hand.
所以主耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我与埃及王法老为敌, 必将他有力的膀臂和已打折的膀臂全行打断, 使刀从他手中坠落.

30:23 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them among the countries.
我必将埃及人分散在列国, 四散在列邦.

30:24 And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and I will give my sword into his hand, and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan with the groaning of the mortally wounded before him.
我必使巴比伦王的膀臂有力, 将我的刀交在他手中; 却要打断法老的膀臂, 他就在巴比伦王面前唉哼, 如同受死伤的人一样.

30:25 And I will strengthen the arm of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they will know that I am Yahweh when I give my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will stretch it out to the land of Egypt.
我必扶持巴比伦王的膀臂, 法老的膀臂却要下垂; 我将我的刀交在巴比伦王手中, 他必举刀攻击埃及地, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

30:26 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and I will disperse them into the countries, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
我必将埃及人分散在列国, 四散在列邦; 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 31

31:1 And then in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十一年三月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

31:2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his crowd, ‘To whom are you like in your greatness?
“人子啊, 你要向埃及王法老和他的众人说: 在威势上谁能与你相比呢?

31:3 Look! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and a forest giving shade, and very high, and its treetop was between the clouds.
亚述王曾如黎巴嫩中的香柏树, 枝条荣美, 影密如林, 极其高大, 树尖插入云中.

31:4 Waters made it great, the deep made it grow high; its rivers were going all around its planting area, and its channels it sent out to all of the trees of the field.
众水使它生长; 深水使它长大. 所栽之地有江河围流, 汊出的水道延到田野诸树.

31:5 Therefore it became tall, with its height more than all of the trees of the field, and its branches became numerous, and its branches became long from its sending its shoots from abundant water.
所以他高大超过田野诸树; 发旺的时候, 枝子繁多, 因得大水之力枝条长长.

31:6 In its branches all the birds of the heaven made their nest, and under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth, and in its shadow all the many nations lived.
空中的飞鸟都在枝子上搭窝; 田野的走兽都在枝条下生子; 所有大国的人民都在它荫下居住.

31:7 And it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was toward much water.
树大条长, 成为荣美, 因为根在众水之旁.

31:8 Cedars in the garden of God could not be equal to it; fir trees could not resemble its branches, and plane trees were not even like its branches; any tree even in the garden of God could not resemble it in its beauty.
神园中的香柏树不能遮蔽它; 松树不及它的枝子; 枫树不及它的枝条; 神园中的树都没有它荣美.

31:9 I made it beautiful with the abundance of its branches, and all of the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.’ ”
我使它的枝条蕃多, 成为荣美, 以致神伊甸园中的树都嫉妒它. ”

31:10 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because it was tall in height and it set its treetop between thick clouds, and he took pride in his tallness,
所以主耶和华如此说: “因它高大, 树尖插入云中, 心骄气傲,

31:11 then I gave it into the hand of the leader of nations; he dealt thoroughly with it according to its wickedness. I drove it out.
我就必将他交给列国中大有威势的人; 他必定办他. 我因他的罪恶, 已经驱逐他.

31:12 And strangers cut it off, the most ruthless of nations, and they abandoned it. On the mountains and in all of the valleys its branches fell, and its branches were broken in all the river channels of the land, and all the peoples of the world went out from its shadow, and they abandoned it.
外邦人, 就是列邦中强暴的, 将它砍断弃掉. 它的枝条落在山间和一切谷中, 它的枝子折断, 落在地的一切河旁. 地上的众民已经走去, 离开它的荫下.

31:13 On its fallen trunk all the birds of the heaven now dwell, and all the animals of the field were on its branches.
空中的飞鸟都要宿在这败落的树上, 田野的走兽都要卧在它的枝条下,

31:14 This occurred so that all of the trees with abundant water will not become tall, and they will not set their treetop between their thick foliage, and so thatall of the trees that are abundantly watered will not stand up to them in their tallness, for all of them, they have been given over to death, to the world below in the midst of mortals, to the people going down to the grave.”
好使水旁的诸树不因高大而自尊, 也不将树尖插入云中, 并且那些得水滋润,有势力的, 也不得高大自立. 因为它们在世人中, 和下坑的人都被交与死亡, 到阴府去了. ”

31:15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “On the day of its going down to Sheol, I caused mourning; I covered over it with the deep, and I withheld its rivers, and many waters were restrained, and I brought gloom over it; Lebanon and all of the trees of the field, they had fainted because of it.
主耶和华如此说: “它下阴间的那日, 我便使人悲哀. 我为它遮盖深渊, 使江河凝结, 大水停流; 我也使黎巴嫩为它悽惨, 田野的诸树都因它发昏.

31:16 From the sound of its downfall I caused nations to shake when I made it go down to Sheol, with the people going down to the grave, and so in the world below all of the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees were comforted!
我将它扔到阴间, 与下坑的人一同下去. 那时, 列国听见它坠落的响声就都震动, 并且伊甸的一切树─就是黎巴嫩得水滋润,最佳最美的树─都在阴府受了安慰.

31:17 They also went down with it to Sheol to those who died by the sword, and its army who had lived in its shadow in the midst of nations.
它们也与它同下阴间, 到被杀的人那里. 它们曾作它的膀臂, 在列国中它的荫下居住.

31:18 To whom could you be compared, whether in glory or in majesty among the trees of Eden? And yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the world below; in the midst of the uncircumcised you will lie with those who died by the sword. That is Pharaoh and his entire crowd!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
在这样荣耀威势上, 在伊甸园诸树中, 谁能与你相比呢? 然而你要与伊甸的诸树一同下到阴府, 在未受割礼的人中, 与被杀的人一同躺卧. 法老和他的群众乃是如此. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 32

32:1 And then in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十二年十二月初一日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

32:2 “Son of man, raise a lament over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you must say to him, ‘With a fierce, strong lion among nations you compared yourself, and you are like the sea monster in the seas, and you thrash about in your rivers, and you make water turbid with your feet, and you make your rivers muddy.
“人子啊, 你要为埃及王法老作哀歌, 说: 从前你在列国中, 如同少壮狮子; 现在你却像海中的大鱼. 你冲出江河, 用爪搅动诸水, 使江河浑浊.

32:3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Now I will spread my net over you in the assembly of many peoples, and I will bring you up in my dragnet.
主耶和华如此说: 我必用多国的人民, 将我的网撒在你身上, 把你拉上来.

32:4 And I will throw you on the ground; on the surface of the open field I will hurl you, and I will cause every bird of the heaven to dwell on you, and I will satisfy the animals of all of the world from you.
我必将你丢在地上, 抛在田野, 使空中的飞鸟都落在你身上, 使遍地的野兽吃你得饱.

32:5 And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and I will fill the valleys with your carcass.
我必将你的肉丢在山间, 用你高大的尸首填满山谷.

32:6 And I will water the land with your discharge from your blood on the mountains, and valleys will be filled from you.
我又必用你的血浇灌你所游泳之地, 漫过山顶; 河道都必充满.

32:7 And I will cover you at extinguishing your heavens, and I will make dark their stars, and I will cover the sun with the cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
我将你扑灭的时候, 要把天遮蔽, 使众星昏暗, 以密云遮掩太阳, 月亮也不放光.

32:8 All sources of light in the heavens, I will make them dark over you, and I will put darkness on your land,’ ” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我必使天上的亮光都在你以上变为昏暗, 使你的地上黑暗. 这是主耶和华说的.

32:9 “And I will disturb the hearts of many peoples at my bringing about your captivity among the nations, to countries that you do not know.
“我使你败亡的风声传到你所不认识的各国. 那时, 我必使多民的心因你愁烦.

32:10 And I will cause many peoples to be awestruck over you, and their kings will shudder over you in horror, at my brandishing my sword before their faces, and they will tremble continually, each person for his life, on the day of your downfall.”
我在许多国民和君王面前向你抡我的刀, 国民就必因你惊奇, 君王也必因你极其恐慌. 在你仆倒的日子, 他们各人为自己的性命时刻战兢. ”

32:11 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The sword of the king of Babylon, it will come to you.
主耶和华如此说: “巴比伦王的刀必临到你.

32:12 By the swords of warriors I will cause to fall your hordes by the most ruthless of the nations, all of them, and they will devastate the majesty of Egypt, and all of its hordes will be destroyed.
我必藉勇士的刀使你的众民仆倒; 这勇士都是列国中强暴的. 他们必使埃及的骄傲归于无有; 埃及的众民必被灭绝.

32:13 And I will destroy all her domestic livestock beside many waters. The feet of humans will not make them turbid again, and the hooves of domestic livestock will not make them turbid.
我必从埃及多水旁除灭所有的走兽; 人脚兽蹄必不再搅浑这水.

32:14 Then I will make their waters settle, and their rivers as the olive oil I will let flow,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
那时, 我必使埃及河澄清, 江河像油缓流. 这是主耶和华说的.

32:15 “Then I make the land of Egypt a desolation, so that the land will be stripped from its fullness when I strike all of those dwelling in it, and they will know that I am Yahweh.
我使埃及地变为荒废凄凉; 这地缺少从前所充满的, 又击杀其中一切的居民. 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

32:16 This is a lament, and they will chant it as a lament; the daughters of the nations will chant it as a lament over Egypt, and over all of its hordes they will chant it as a lament,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
“人必用这哀歌去哀哭, 列国的女子为埃及和她的群众也必以此悲哀. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

32:17 And then in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
十二年十二月十五日, 耶和华的话临到我说:

32:18 “Son of man, mourn over the hordes of Egypt, and make her go down, and with her the daughters of mighty nations, down to the deep underworld with the people going down to the grave.
“人子啊, 你要为埃及群众哀号, 又要将埃及和有名之国的女子, 并下坑的人, 一同扔到阴府去.

32:19 You are more lovely than whom? Go down and be laid in rest with the uncircumcised.
你埃及的美丽胜过谁呢? 你下去与未受割礼的人一同躺卧吧!

32:20 In the midst of the people slain by the sword it is given they will fall to a sword; they carried her off and all of her hordes.
他们必在被杀的人中仆到. 她被交给刀剑, 要把她和她的群众拉去.

32:21 The chiefs of the warriors will speak to him from the middle of Sheol; with his helpers they have gone down; the uncircumcised lie still, those slain by the sword.
强盛的勇士要在阴间对埃及王和帮助他的说话; 他们是未受割礼被杀的人, 已经下去, 躺卧不动.

32:22 Assyria is there and all of its assembly; all around it are its graves, all of them killed, those fallen by the sword,
“亚述和她的众民都在那里, 她民的坟墓在她四围; 他们都是被杀倒在刀下的.

32:23 who will be given its graves in the remote areas of the pit, and its assembly will be all around its grave, all of them killed, fallen by the sword, those who spread terror in the land of the living.
他们的坟墓在坑中极深之处. 他的众民在他坟墓的四围, 都是被杀倒在刀下的; 他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐.

32:24 Elam is there and all of its hordes, all around its grave, all of them dead who fell by the sword, those who went down uncircumcised to the depths of the underworld, those who spread their terror to the land of the living, and now they bear their disgrace with the people going down to the grave.
“以拦也在那里, 她的群众在她坟墓的四围, 都是被杀倒在刀下,未受割礼而下阴府的; 他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐, 并且与下坑的人一同担当羞辱.

32:25 In the midst of the slain they made a bed for her with all of her hordes all around its graves, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, for their terror was spread in the land of the living, and they now bear their disgrace with the people going down to the grave; in the midst of the slain it was placed.
人给她和她的群众在被杀的人中设立床榻. 她民的坟墓在她四围, 他们都是未受割礼被刀杀的; 他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐, 并且与下坑的人一同担当羞辱. 以拦已经放在被杀的人中.

32:26 Meshech and Tubal are there and all of its hordes, all around him its graves, all of them uncircumcised and killed by the sword, for they gave their terror in the land of the living.
“米设,土巴, 和她们的群众都在那里. 她民的坟墓在她四围, 他们都是未受割礼被刀杀的; 他们曾在活人之地使人惊恐.

32:27 And they do not lie with warriors fallen from long ago, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and they placed their sword under their heads, and their shields were on their bones, for the terror of the warriors was in the land of the living.
他们不得与那未受割礼仆倒的勇士一同躺卧; 这些勇士带着兵器下阴间, 头枕刀剑, 骨头上有本身的罪孽; 他们曾在活人之地使勇士惊恐.

32:28 And you too in the midst of uncircumcised people will be broken, and you will lie with those slain by the sword.
“法老啊, 你必在未受割礼的人中败坏, 与那些被杀的人一同躺卧.

32:29 There is Edom, its kings and all of its leaders who are laid along with their might with those killed by the sword; they will lie with the uncircumcised and with the people going down to the grave.
“以东也在那里. 她君王和一切首领虽然仗着势力, 还是放在被杀的人中; 他们必与未受割礼的和下坑的人一同躺卧.

32:30 There are also the princes of the north, all of them, all of the Sidonians who have gone down, being ashamed to lie with the slain because of their terror that they caused from their might, and they lie uncircumcised with those killed by the sword, and they bear their disgrace along with the people going down to the grave.
“在那里有北方的众王子和一切西顿人, 都与被杀的人下去. 他们虽然仗着势力使人惊恐, 还是蒙羞. 他们未受割礼, 和被刀杀的一同躺卧, 与下坑的人一同担当羞辱.

32:31 Pharaoh will see them, and he will be comforted over all of his hordes killed by the sword, Pharaoh and all of his army,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
“法老看见他们, 便为他被杀的军队受安慰. 这是主耶和华说的.

32:32 “For he spread my terror in the land of the living, and so he will be laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised with those killed by the sword: Pharaoh and all of his hordes,”declares the Lord Yahweh.
我任凭法老在活人之地使人惊恐, 法老和他的群众必放在未受割礼和被杀的人中. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 33

33:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

33:2 “Son of man, speak to your people, and you must say to them, ‘A land, if I bring over it a sword and the people of the land take a man, one from their number, and they appoint him for them as a watchman,
“人子啊, 你要告诉本国的子民说: 我使刀剑临到哪一国, 那一国的民从他们中间选立一人为守望的.

33:3 and he sees the sword coming against the land, and he blows on the horn and he warns the people,
他见刀剑临到那地, 若吹角警戒众民,

33:4 and anyone who listens hears the sound of the horn and he does not take warning and the sword comes and it takes him, his blood will be on his own head.
凡听见角声不受警戒的, 刀剑若来除灭了他, 他的罪(原文是血)就必归到自己的头上.

33:5 For he heard the sound of the horn and he did not take warning; his blood will be on him. But if he took warning, he saved his life.
他听见角声, 不受警戒, 他的罪必归到自己的身上; 他若受警戒, 便是救了自己的性命.

33:6 And as for the watchman, if he sees the sword coming and he does not blow the horn, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and it takes their lives, he will be taken through his guilt, but his blood from the hand of the watchman I will seek.’
倘若守望的人见刀剑临到, 不吹角, 以致民不受警戒, 刀剑来杀了他们中间的一个人, 他虽然死在罪孽之中, 我却要向守望的人讨他丧命的罪(原文是血).

33:7 “And you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; if you hear a word from my mouth, then you must warn them from me.
“人子啊, 我照样立你作以色列家守望的人. 所以你要听我口中的话, 替我警戒他们.

33:8 When I say to the wicked, ‘Wicked one, you will certainly die,’ and you did not speak to warn the wicked from his way, he, the wicked, will die by his guilt, but his blood I will seek from your hand.
我对恶人说: ‘恶人哪, 你必要死! ’你─以西结若不开口警戒恶人, 使他离开所行的道, 这恶人必死在罪孽之中, 我却要向你讨他丧命的罪(原文是血).

33:9 But, you, if you warn the wicked from his way, to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, he will die by his guilt, and you will have saved your life.
倘若你警戒恶人转离所行的道, 他仍不转离, 他必死在罪孽之中, 你却救自己脱离了罪. ”

33:10 “And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, saying, ‘So you said, saying, “Indeed, our transgressions and our sins are on us, and because of them we are rotting, and how can we live?” ’
“人子啊, 你要对以色列家说: 你们常说: ‘我们的过犯罪恶在我们身上, 我们必因此消灭, 怎能存活呢? ’

33:11 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘Surely I have no delight in the death of the wicked, except in the wicked returning from his way, and he lives. Turn back! Turn back from your ways, O evil ones, for why should you die, house of Israel?’
你对他们说, 主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我断不喜悦恶人死亡, 惟喜悦恶人转离所行的道而活. 以色列家啊, 你们转回, 转回吧! 离开恶道, 何必死亡呢?

33:12 “So you, son of man, say to your people that the righteousness of the righteous shall not save him in the day of his transgression, and the wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble on the day of his returning from his wickedness; and the righteous will not be able to live by it on the day when he returns to his sin.
人子啊, 你要对本国的人民说: 义人的义, 在犯罪之日不能救他; 至于恶人的恶, 在他转离恶行之日也不能使他倾倒; 义人在犯罪之日也不能因他的义存活.

33:13 When I say to the righteous, ‘Certainly he will live,’ and he trusted in his righteousness, and he turns and he does injustice, all of his righteousness will not be remembered, and because of his injustice that he did, because of it he will die.
我对义人说: ‘你必定存活! ’他若倚靠他的义而作罪孽, 他所行的义都不被记念. 他必因所作的罪孽死亡.

33:14 And when I say to the wicked, ‘Certainly you will die,’ but he returns from his sin and he does justice and righteousness—
再者, 我对恶人说: ‘你必定死亡! ’他若转离他的罪, 行正直与合理的事:

33:15 for example, the wicked returns a pledge for a loan, he restores stolen property, he goes in the statutes of life so as not to do injustice—certainly he will live; he will not die.
还人的当头和所抢夺的, 遵行生命的律例, 不作罪孽, 他必定存活, 不致死亡.

33:16 All of his sins that he committed, they will not be remembered against him, and he did justice and righteousness; certainly he will live.
他所犯的一切罪必不被记念. 他行了正直与合理的事, 必定存活.

33:17 “Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ yet their way is not fair.
“你本国的子民还说: ‘主的道不公平. ’其实他们的道不公平.

33:18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, then he will die because of it.
义人转离他的义而作罪孽, 就必因此死亡.

33:19 And when the wicked turns from his wickedness, and he does justice and righteousness, because of it he will certainly live!
恶人转离他的恶, 行正直与合理的事, 就必因此存活.

33:20 Yet you said, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair!’ I will judge you, house of Israel, each person according to his ways.”
你们还说: ‘主的道不公平. ’以色列家啊, 我必按你们各人所行的审判你们. ”

33:21 And then it was in the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month of our exile, a survivor from Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city was destroyed!”
我们被掳之后十二年十月初五日, 有人从耶路撒冷逃到我这里, 说: “城已攻破. ”

33:22 And the hand of Yahweh was on me on the evening before the coming of the survivor, and he opened my mouth before the survivor came to me in the morning, and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer dumb.
逃来的人未到前一日的晚上, 耶和华的灵(原文是手)降在我身上, 开我的口. 到第二日早晨, 那人来到我这里, 我口就开了, 不再缄默.

33:23 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

33:24 “Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins on the soil of Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was one man, and he took possession of the land, and we are many; the land has been given for us as a possession.’
“人子啊, 住在以色列荒废之地的人说: ‘亚伯拉罕独自一人能得这地为业, 我们人数众多, 这地更是给我们为业的. ’

33:25 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You eat blood in your meat, and you raise your eyes to your idols and you pour out blood, and yet you want to take possession of the land?
所以你要对他们说, 主耶和华如此说: 你们吃带血的物, 仰望偶像, 并且杀人流血, 你们还能得这地为业吗?

33:26 You rely on your sword, you do a detestable thing, and each man defiles the wife of his neighbor, and yet you want to take possession of the land?” ’
你们倚仗自己的刀剑行可憎的事, 人人玷污邻舍的妻, 你们还能得这地为业吗?

33:27 “Thus you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “As I live, surely whoever is in the ruins, by the sword they will fall, and whoever is on the surface of the open field, I will give him to the animals to eat him, and whoever is in the stronghold and in the cave, they will die by the plague.
你要对他们这样说, 主耶和华如此说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 在荒场中的, 必倒在刀下; 在田野间的, 必交给野兽吞吃; 在保障和洞里的, 必遭瘟疫而死.

33:28 And I will make the land a desolation and a wasteland, and the pride of its strength will come to an end, and the mountains of Israel will be desolate with no one traveling through them.” ’
我必使这地荒凉, 令人惊骇; 她因势力而有的骄傲也必止息. 以色列的山都必荒凉, 无人经过.

33:29 And they will know that I am Yahweh when I make my land a desolation and a wasteland, because of all of their detestable things that they have done.
我因他们所行一切可憎的事使地荒凉, 令人惊骇. 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

33:30 “And you, son of man, your people, the ones talking together concerning you beside the walls and in the doorways of the houses, each one with his brother saying, ‘Please come and hear what is the word that is going out from Yahweh.’
“人子啊, 你本国的子民在墙垣旁边,在房屋门口谈论你. 弟兄对弟兄彼此说: ‘来吧! 听听有甚么话从耶和华而出. ’

33:31 And they come to you as people do, and they sit before you, and my people hear your words, and they do not do them, for they are showing passion in their mouth, but their heart is going after ill-gotten gain.
他们来到你这里如同民来聚会, 坐在你面前仿佛是我的民. 他们听你的话却不去行; 因为他们的口多显爱情, 心却追随财利.

33:32 Now, look! You are to them like a sensual song, beautiful of voice and played well on an instrument, and they hear your words, but they are not doing them.
他们看你如善于奏乐,声音幽雅之人所唱的雅歌, 他们听你的话却不去行.

33:33 So when it comes, look! It is coming! And then they will know that a prophet was in the midst of them.”
看哪, 所说的快要应验; 应验了, 他们就知道在他们中间有了先知. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 34

34:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you must say to them, to the shepherds, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who were feeding themselves! Must not the shepherds feed the flock?
“人子啊, 你要向以色列的牧人发预言, 攻击他们, 说, 主耶和华如此说: 祸哉! 以色列的牧人只知牧养自己. 牧人岂不当牧养群羊吗?

34:3 The fat you eat, and you clothe yourself with the wool; the well-nourished animals you slaughter, but you do not feed the flock.
你们吃脂油,穿羊毛,宰肥壮的, 却不牧养群羊.

34:4 The weak you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not healed, and with respect to the hurt you have not bound them up, and you have not brought back the scattered, and you have not sought the lost, but rather you ruled over them with force and with ruthlessness.
瘦弱的, 你们没有养壮; 有病的, 你们没有医治; 受伤的, 你们没有缠裹; 被逐的, 你们没有领回; 失丧的, 你们没有寻找; 但用强暴严严地辖制.

34:5 And they were scattered without a shepherd, and they were as food for all the animals of the field when they were scattered.
因无牧人, 羊就分散; 既分散, 便作了一切野兽的食物.

34:6 My flock went astray upon all of the mountains and on every high hill, and so upon all the surface of the world my flock were scattered, and there was no one seeking them, and there was no one searching for them.”
我的羊在诸山间,在各高冈上流离, 在全地上分散, 无人去寻, 无人去找.

34:7 Therefore, hear, O shepherds, the word of Yahweh:
“所以, 你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话.

34:8 “As I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “Surely because my flock have become as plunder, and my flock became as food to all the animals of the field, since there was not a shepherd, since my shepherds have not sought my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and they fed not my flock,’ ”
主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我的羊因无牧人就成为掠物, 也作了一切野兽的食物. 我的牧人不寻找我的羊; 这些牧人只知牧养自己, 并不牧养我的羊.

34:9 therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh,
所以你们这些牧人要听耶和华的话.

34:10 ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against the shepherds, and I will seek my flock from their hand, and I will put an end to them from shepherding flocks, and the shepherds will no longer feed themselves, and I will deliver my flocks from their mouth, so that they will not be as food for them.”
主耶和华如此说: 我必与牧人为敌, 必向他们的手追讨我的羊, 使他们不再牧放群羊; 牧人也不再牧养自己. 我必救我的羊脱离他们的口, 不再作他们的食物. ”

34:11 “ ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I, even I, will seek my flock, and I will look after them,
“主耶和华如此说: 看哪, 我必亲自寻找我的羊, 将牠们寻见.

34:12 just like the caring of a shepherd for his herd on the day when he is in the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will look after my flock, and I will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on the day of storm and stress.
牧人在羊群四散的日子怎样寻找他的羊, 我必照样寻找我的羊. 这些羊在密云黑暗的日子散到各处, 我必从那里救回牠们来.

34:13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and I will gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their soil, and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all of the settlements of the land.
我必从万民中领出牠们, 从各国内聚集牠们, 引导牠们归回故土, 也必在以色列山上─一切溪水旁边,境内一切可居之处─牧养牠们.

34:14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their pasture will be on the mountains of the heights of Israel; there they will lie down in good pasture, and on lush pasture they will feed on the mountains of Israel.
我必在美好的草场牧养牠们. 牠们的圈必在以色列高处的山上, 牠们必在佳美之圈中躺卧, 也在以色列山肥美的草场吃草.

34:15 I myself will feed my flock and I myself will allow them to lie down,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
主耶和华说: 我必亲自作我羊的牧人, 使牠们得以躺卧.

34:16 “I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the scattered, and I will bind up the one hurt, and I will strengthen the sick; and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed her with justice.”
失丧的, 我必寻找; 被逐的, 我必领回; 受伤的, 我必缠裹; 有病的, 我必医治; 只是肥的壮的, 我必除灭, 也要秉公牧养牠们.

34:17 “ ‘And you, my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am judging between one sheep and another, between the rams and between the he-goats.
“我的羊群哪, 论到你们, 主耶和华如此说: 我必在羊与羊中间,公绵羊与公山羊中间施行判断.

34:18 Is it not enough for you that you feed on the good pasture? And still you must trample the remainder of your pasture with your feet, and clear water you drink, and the leftover water you must make muddy with your feet.
你们这些肥壮的羊, 在美好的草场吃草还以为小事吗? 剩下的草, 你们竟用蹄践踏了; 你们喝清水, 剩下的水, 你们竟用蹄搅浑了.

34:19 And my flock must graze the pasture treaded upon by your feet, and must drink the mud puddle stirred up by your feet.”
至于我的羊, 只得吃你们所践踏的, 喝你们所搅浑的.

34:20 “ ‘Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh to them: “Look! I, even I will judge between fat sheep and between lean sheep,
“所以, 主耶和华如此说: 我必在肥羊和瘦羊中间施行判断.

34:21 because with your flank and with your shoulder you shoved, and with your horns you pushed all of the sick animals until you scattered it to the outside.
因为你们用胁用肩拥挤一切瘦弱的, 又用角牴触, 以致使牠们四散.

34:22 And so I will save my flock, and they will no longer be for plunder, and I will judge between one sheep and another.
所以, 我必拯救我的群羊不再作掠物; 我也必在羊和羊中间施行判断.

34:23 And I will set up over them one shepherd, and he will feed them; that is, my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be for them as a shepherd.
我必立一牧人照管他们, 牧养他们, 就是我的仆人大卫. 他必牧养他们, 作他们的牧人.

34:24 And I, Yahweh, I will be for them as God, and my servant David will be a leader in the midst of them. I, Yahweh, I have spoken.
我─耶和华必作他们的神, 我的仆人大卫必在他们中间作王. 这是耶和华说的.

34:25 And I will make them a covenant of peace, and I will put an end to wild animals from the land, and they will dwell in the desert safely, and they will sleep in the forest.
“我必与他们立平安的约, 使恶兽从境内断绝, 他们就必安居在旷野, 躺卧在林中.

34:26 And I will make them and the area all around my hill a blessing, and I will let the rain go down at its appointed time; they will be rains of blessing.
我必使他们与我山的四围成为福源, 我也必叫时雨落下, 必有福如甘霖而降.

34:27 And the tree of the field will give its fruit, and the land will give its produce, and they will be on their land safely, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I break their yoke, and I will deliver them from the hand of the ones enslaving them.
田野的树必结果, 地也必有出产; 他们必在故土安然居住. 我折断他们所负的轭, 救他们脱离那以他们为奴之人的手; 那时, 他们就知道我是耶和华.

34:28 And they will not be any longer plunder to the nations, and the animals of the land will not eat them, and they will dwell in safety, and there will not be anyone frightening them.
他们必不再作外邦人的掠物, 地上的野兽也不再吞吃他们; 却要安然居住, 无人惊吓.

34:29 And I will raise for them a garden plot of renown, and they will no longer be victims of famine in the land, and they will not bear any more the insult of the nations.
我必给他们兴起有名的植物; 他们在境内不再为饥荒所灭, 也不再受外邦人的羞辱,

34:30 And they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them and they are my people, the house of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh,
必知道我,耶和华─他们的神是与他们同在的, 并知道他们─以色列家是我的民. 这是主耶和华说的.

34:31 “and you are my flock, the flock of my pasture. You are my people; I am your God,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
你们作我的羊, 我草场上的羊, 乃是以色列人, 我也是你们的神. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 35

35:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

35:2 “Son of man, set your face against the mountain of Seir and prophesy against it,
“人子啊, 你要面向西珥山发预言, 攻击它,

35:3 and you must say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, mountain of Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a wasteland.
对它说, 主耶和华如此说: 西珥山哪, 我与你为敌, 必向你伸手攻击你, 使你荒凉, 令人惊骇.

35:4 Your cities I will make ruins, and you will be a desolation, and then you will know that I am Yahweh,
我必使你的城邑变为荒场, 成为凄凉. 你就知道我是耶和华.

35:5 because there has been to you an ancient hostility, and you handed over the Israelites to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of their final punishment.
因为你永怀仇恨, 在以色列人遭灾,罪孽到了尽头的时候, 将他们交与刀剑,

35:6 Therefore as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “Certainly to blood guilt I will prepare you and blood will pursue; since you did not hate blood, it will pursue you.
所以主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我必使你遭遇流血的报应, 罪(原文是血; 本节同)必追赶你; 你既不恨恶杀人流血, 所以这罪必追赶你.

35:7 And I will make the mountain of Seir into a desolation and ruin, and I will cut off from it both he who is crossing over and he who is returning.
我必使西珥山荒凉, 令人惊骇, 来往经过的人我必剪除.

35:8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain; your hills and your valleys and all of your watercourses, the slain by the sword will fall in them.
我必使西珥山满有被杀的人. 被刀杀的, 必倒在你小山和山谷, 并一切的溪水中.

35:9 An everlasting desolation I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使你永远荒凉, 使你的城邑无人居住, 你的民就知道我是耶和华.

35:10 I do this because of your saying, ‘The two nations and the two lands, they will be mine, and we will take possession of it,’ and yet Yahweh was there.
因为你曾说: ‘这二国这二邦必归于我, 我必得为业’(其实耶和华仍在那里),

35:11 Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “so I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your jealousy that you did, because of your hatred against them, and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
所以主耶和华说: 我指着我的永生起誓, 我必照你的怒气和你从仇恨中向他们所发的嫉妒待你. 我审判你的时候, 必将自己显明在他们中间.

35:12 And you will know that I, Yahweh, I have heard all of your contemptible words that you said against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They will be desolate; they are given to us as food.’
你也必知道我─耶和华听见了你的一切毁谤, 就是你攻击以色列山的话, 说: ‘这些山荒凉, 是归我们吞灭的. ’

35:13 And you magnified yourself against me with your insolent speech, and you spoke voluminously against me with your words—I heard!
你们也用口向我夸大, 增添与我反对的话, 我都听见了.

35:14 Thus the Lord Yahweh says, ‘As the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation.
主耶和华如此说: 全地欢乐的时候, 我必使你荒凉.

35:15 Like your rejoicing over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, I will do to you; you will be a desolation, mountain of Seir and all of Edom, indeed all of it; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ” ’
你怎样因以色列家的地业荒凉而喜乐, 我必照你所行的待你. 西珥山哪, 你和以东全地必都荒凉. 你们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 36

36:1 “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel; and so you must say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Yahweh;
“人子啊, 你要对以色列山发预言说: 以色列山哪, 要听耶和华的话.

36:2 thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because the enemy said concerning you, ‘Ah, and the ancient high places will be to us as a possession!’ ” ’
主耶和华如此说: 因仇敌说: ‘阿哈! 这永久的山冈都归我们为业了! ’

36:3 Therefore prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because indeed when you were desolate, then they crushed you from all around, so that you became a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword and object of slander for the people.”
所以要发预言说, 主耶和华如此说: 因为敌人使你荒凉, 四围吞吃, 好叫你归与其余的外邦人为业, 并且多嘴多舌的人提起你来, 百姓也说你有臭名.

36:4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh; thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the river channels and to the valleys and to the ruins that are desolate and to the cities that are abandoned and that have become as plunder and as scorn for the remainder of the nations that are from all around.
故此, 以色列山要听主耶和华的话. 大山小冈,水沟山谷,荒废之地,被弃之城, 为四围其余的外邦人所占据,所讥刺的,

36:5 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Certainly in the fire of my passion I spoke against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who made my land as a possession, because of its pastureland for plunder, for themselves in all of the joy of their whole heart and in their inner disdain.”
主耶和华对你们如此说: 我真发愤恨如火, 责备那其余的外邦人和以东的众人. 他们快乐满怀, 心存恨恶, 将我的地归自己为业, 又看为被弃的掠物.

36:6 Therefore prophesy against the land of Israel, and you must say to the mountains and to the hills, to the river channels and to the valleys, thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I spoke in my passion and in my anger the insult of the peoples you have endured.”
所以, 你要指著以色列地说预言, 对大山小冈,水沟山谷说, 主耶和华如此说: 我发愤恨和忿怒说, 因你们曾受外邦人的羞辱,

36:7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “I swear certainly that the nations that are all around you, they indeed will endure their disgrace.
所以我起誓说: 你们四围的外邦人总要担当自己的羞辱. 这是主耶和华说的.

36:8 “ ‘ “But you, mountains of Israel, your branch you will shoot, and your fruit you will carry for my people Israel, for they are soon to come.
“以色列山哪, 你必发枝条, 为我的民以色列结果子, 因为他们快要来到.

36:9 For look! I am for you, and I will turn you, and you will be tilled, and you will be planted.
看哪, 我是帮助你的, 也必向你转意, 使你得以耕种.

36:10 And I will cause your population to increase for you, all of the house of Israel, all of it, and the towns will be inhabited, and the ruins will be built.
我必使以色列全家的人数在你上面增多, 城邑有人居住, 荒场再被建造.

36:11 And I will cause your population to increase for you, and domestic animals, even they will be numerous, and they will be fruitful, and I will cause you to be inhabited like your ancient times, and I will do good things more than in your former times, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
我必使人和牲畜在你上面加增; 他们必生养众多. 我要使你照旧有人居住, 并要赐福与你比先前更多, 你就知道我是耶和华.

36:12 And I will send over you my people Israel, and they will take possession of you, and you will be for them as an inheritance, and you will no longer bereave them of their children.”
我必使人, 就是我的民以色列, 行在你上面. 他们必得你为业; 你也不再使他们丧子.

36:13 “ ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh, because they are saying to you, “You are an eater of humans, and you are one who makes childless your people.”
主耶和华如此说: 因为人对你说: ‘你是吞吃人的, 又使国民丧子’,

36:14 Therefore humans you will not eat any longer, and your nation you will not make childless any longer,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
所以主耶和华说: 你必不再吞吃人, 也不再使国民丧子.

36:15 “And I will not let you hear any longer the insult of the nations, and the disgrace of the peoples you will not bear any longer; you yourself will not cause your nation to stumble,” declares the Lord Yahweh.’ ”
我使你不再听见各国的羞辱, 不再受万民的辱骂, 也不再使国民绊跌. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

36:16 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

36:17 “Son of man, the house of Israel, they were dwelling on their soil, and they defiled it with their way and with their deeds; like the uncleanness of menstruation was their way before me.
“人子啊, 以色列家住在本地的时候, 在行动作为上玷污那地. 他们的行为在我面前, 好像正在经期的妇人那样污秽.

36:18 And I poured out my rage on them for the blood that they poured on the land and for their idols with which they defiled it.
所以我因他们在那地上流人的血, 又因他们以偶像玷污那地, 就把我的忿怒倾在他们身上.

36:19 And I scattered them among the nations, and I dispersed them in the countries according to their way, and according to their deeds I judged them.
我将他们分散在列国, 四散在列邦, 按他们的行动作为惩罚他们.

36:20 And they came into the nations to which they went, and they profaned my holy name when they said to them, ‘These are the people of Yahweh, and from his land they went out.’
他们到了所去的列国, 就使我的圣名被亵渎; 因为人谈论他们说, 这是耶和华的民, 是从耶和华的地出来的.

36:21 And I was concerned for my holy name, which, the house of Israel defiled among the nations to which they went.
我却顾惜我的圣名, 就是以色列家在所到的列国中所亵渎的.

36:22 “Therefore thus say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Not for your sake am I about to act, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you defiled among the nations to which you went.
“所以, 你要对以色列家说, 主耶和华如此说: 以色列家啊, 我行这事不是为你们, 乃是为我的圣名, 就是在你们到的列国中所亵渎的.

36:23 And I will consecrate my great name, which was profaned among the nations and which you have profaned in the midst of them, and the nations will know that I am Yahweh!” ’ a declaration of the Lord Yahweh, when I show myself holy before their eyes.
我要使我的大名显为圣; 这名在列国中已被亵渎, 就是你们在他们中间所亵渎的. 我在他们眼前, 在你们身上显为圣的时候, 他们就知道我是耶和华. 这是主耶和华说的.

36:24 “ ‘And I will take you from the nations, and I will gather you from all of the lands, and I will bring you to your land.
我必从各国收取你们, 从列邦聚集你们, 引导你们归回本地.

36:25 And I will sprinkle on you pure water, and you will be clean from all of your uncleanness, and I will cleanse you from all of your idols.
我必用清水洒在你们身上, 你们就洁净了. 我要洁净你们, 使你们脱离一切的污秽, 弃掉一切的偶像.

36:26 And I will give a new heart to you, and a new spirit I will give into your inner parts, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.
我也要赐给你们一个新心, 将新灵放在你们里面, 又从你们的肉体中除掉石心, 赐给你们肉心.

36:27 And I will give my spirit into your inner parts, and I will make it so that you will go in my rules, and my regulations you will remember, and you will do them.
我必将我的灵放在你们里面, 使你们顺从我的律例, 谨守遵行我的典章.

36:28 And you will dwell in the land that I gave to your ancestors, and you will be to me as a people, and I will be to you as God.
你们必住在我所赐给你们列祖之地. 你们要作我的子民, 我要作你们的神.

36:29 And I will save you from all of your uncleanness, and I will call to the grain, and I will cause it to increase, and I will not bring famine upon you.
我必救你们脱离一切的污秽, 也必命五谷丰登, 不使你们遭遇饥荒.

36:30 And I will cause the fruit of the tree and the crop of the field to increase, so that you will not suffer again the disgrace of famine among the nations.
我必使树木多结果子, 田地多出土产, 好叫你们不再因饥荒受外邦人的讥诮.

36:31 And you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourself over your iniquities and over your detestable things.
那时, 你们必追想你们的恶行和你们不善的作为, 就因你们的罪孽和可憎的事厌恶自己.

36:32 But not for your sake am I acting,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you, be ashamed, and be put to shame because of your ways, house of Israel.
主耶和华说: 你们要知道, 我这样行不是为你们. 以色列家啊, 当为自己的行为抱愧蒙羞.

36:33 “Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘On the day when I cleanse you from all of your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
“主耶和华如此说: 我洁净你们, 使你们脱离一切罪孽的日子, 必使城邑有人居住, 荒场再被建造.

36:34 And the land that was desolate will be cultivated in the very place that it was desolate before the eyes of all of the persons crossing over.
过路的人虽看为荒废之地, 现今这荒废之地仍得耕种.

36:35 And they will say, “This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden, and the wasted and desolate and destroyed cities, now being refortified, are inhabited.”
他们必说: ‘这先前为荒废之地, 现在成如伊甸园; 这荒废凄凉,毁坏的城邑现在坚固有人居住. ’

36:36 And the nations who are left all around, you will know that I, Yahweh, I built that which was destroyed; I planted the desolate land; I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act.’
那时, 在你们四围其余的外邦人必知道我─耶和华修造那毁坏之处, 培植那荒废之地. 我─耶和华说过, 也必成就.

36:37 “Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Again this time I will let myself be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do something for them; I will cause them to increase their population like a flock.
“主耶和华如此说: 我要加增以色列家的人数, 多如羊群. 他们必为这事向我求问, 我要给他们成就.

36:38 Like the flock of the sanctuary, like the flock of Jerusalem at its festival, so the desolate cities will be filled with flocks of people; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
耶路撒冷在守节作祭物所献的羊群怎样多, 照样, 荒凉的城邑必被人群充满. 他们就知道我是耶和华. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 37

37:1 The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and he brought me by the Spirit of Yahweh, and he let me rest in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones.
耶和华的灵(原文是手)降在我身上. 耶和华藉他的灵带我出去, 将我放在平原中; 这平原遍满骸骨.

37:2 And he led me all around over them, and look, very many on the surface of the valley, and look, very dry.
他使我从骸骨的四围经过, 谁知在平原的骸骨甚多, 而且极其枯干.

37:3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I said, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”
他对我说: “人子啊, 这些骸骨能复活吗? ”我说: “主耶和华啊, 你是知道的. ”

37:4 And he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and you must say to them, to the dry bones, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh!
他又对我说: “你向这些骸骨发预言说: 枯干的骸骨啊, 要听耶和华的话.

37:5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: “Look! I am bringing into you breath, and you will live!
主耶和华对这些骸骨如此说: ‘我必使气息进入你们里面, 你们就要活了.

37:6 And I will lay on you sinews, and I will let flesh come upon you, and I will cover you over with skin, and I will put breath into you, and you will live, and you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ”
我必给你们加上筋, 使你们长肉, 又将皮遮蔽你们, 使气息进入你们里面, 你们就要活了; 你们便知道我是耶和华. ’”

37:7 And I prophesied just as I had been commanded, and there was a sound at my prophesying, and look! A rattling, and they came together—the bones! Bone to its bone!
于是, 我遵命说预言. 正说预言的时候, 不料, 有响声, 有地震; 骨与骨互相联络.

37:8 And I looked, and indeed, sinews were on them, and flesh went up, and skin covered over them upward, but breath was not in them.
我观看, 见骸骨上有筋, 也长了肉, 又有皮遮蔽其上, 只是还没有气息.

37:9 And he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and you must say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh from the four winds, “Come, O spirit and breath, on these dead ones, so that they may live!” ’ ”
主对我说: “人子啊, 你要发预言, 向风发预言, 说主耶和华如此说: 气息啊, 要从四方(原文是风)而来, 吹在这些被杀的人身上, 使他们活了. ”

37:10 And I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they became alive, and they stood on their feet, a very, very large group.
于是我遵命说预言, 气息就进入骸骨, 骸骨便活了, 并且站起来, 成为极大的军队.

37:11 And he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all of the house of Israel; look! they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is destroyed; we are cut off as far as we are concerned.’
主对我说: “人子啊, 这些骸骨就是以色列全家. 他们说: ‘我们的骨头枯干了, 我们的指望失去了, 我们灭绝净尽了. ’

37:12 Therefore prophesy, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am opening your graves, and I will bring you up from your graves, my people, and I will bring you to the land of Israel!
所以你要发预言对他们说, 主耶和华如此说: ‘我的民哪, 我必开你们的坟墓, 使你们从坟墓中出来, 领你们进入以色列地.

37:13 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I open your graves when I bring you up from your graves, my people!
我的民哪, 我开你们的坟墓, 使你们从坟墓中出来, 你们就知道我是耶和华.

37:14 And I will put my breath into you so that you may live, and I will cause you to rest on your soil, and you will know that I, Yahweh, I have spoken, and I will act!” ’ declares Yahweh.”
我必将我的灵放在你们里面, 你们就要活了. 我将你们安置在本地, 你们就知道我─耶和华如此说, 也如此成就了. 这是耶和华说的. ’”

37:15 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:

37:16 “And you, son of man, take for yourself a piece of wood, and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the Israelites his associates,’ and take another piece of wood, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the piece of wood of Ephraim and all of the house of Israel his associates.’
“人子啊, 你要取一根木杖, 在其上写‘为犹大和他的同伴以色列人’; 又取一根木杖, 在其上写‘为约瑟, 就是为以法莲, 又为他的同伴以色列全家’.

37:17 And join them one to the other with respect to you as one piece of wood, so that they may become one in your hand.
你要使这两根木杖接连为一, 在你手中成为一根.

37:18 When your people say to you, saying, ‘Will you not inform us as to what these actions mean for you?’
你本国的子民问你说: ‘这是甚么意思? 你不指示我们么? ’

37:19 Then speak to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am taking the piece of wood for Joseph that is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel its associates, and I will put them on it, the piece of wood of Judah, and I will make them into one piece of wood, so that they be one in my hand.’ ”
你就对他们说: 主耶和华如此说: ‘我要将约瑟和他同伴以色列支派的杖, 就是那在以法莲手中的, 与犹大的杖一同接连为一, 在我手中成为一根. ’

37:20 And the pieces of wood on which you wrote will be in your hand before their eyes.
你所写的那两根杖要在他们眼前拿在手中,

37:21 And speak to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am taking the Israelites from among the nations to which they went, and I will gather them from everywhere, and I will bring them to their own soil.
要对他们说, 主耶和华如此说: 我要将以色列人从他们所到的各国收取, 又从四围聚集他们, 引导他们归回本地.

37:22 And I will make them into one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and they will all have one king as their king, and they will not again be two nations and will not again divide into two kingdoms again.
我要使他们在那地, 在以色列山上成为一国, 有一王作他们众民的王. 他们不再为二国, 决不再分为二国;

37:23 And they will not defile themselves again with their idols and with vile idols and with all of their transgressions, and I will save them from all of their apostasy by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them and they will be for me as a people and I, I will be for them as God.
也不再因偶像和可憎的物, 并一切的罪过玷污自己. 我却要救他们出离一切的住处, 就是他们犯罪的地方; 我要洁净他们, 如此, 他们要作我的子民, 我要作他们的神.

37:24 “ ‘ “And my servant David will be king over them, and one shepherd will be for all of them, and in my regulations they will go, and my statutes they will observe, and they will do them.
“我的仆人大卫必作他们的王; 众民必归一个牧人. 他们必顺从我的典章, 谨守遵行我的律例.

37:25 And they will dwell on the land that I gave to my servant, to Jacob, in which your ancestors dwelled, and they will dwell on it, they and their children and the children of their children forever, and my servant David will be a leader for them forever.
他们必住在我赐给我仆人雅各的地上, 就是你们列祖所住之地. 他们和他们的子孙, 并子孙的子孙, 都永远住在那里. 我的仆人大卫必作他们的王, 直到永远.

37:26 And I will make with them a covenant of peace; an everlasting covenant it will be with them. And I will establish them, and I will cause them to increase, and I will put my sanctuary in the midst of them forever.
并且我要与他们立平安的约, 作为永约. 我也要将他们安置在本地, 使他们的人数增多, 又在他们中间设立我的圣所, 直到永远.

37:27 And my tabernacle will be with them, and I will be for them as God, and they will be to me as a nation.
我的居所必在他们中间; 我要作他们的神, 他们要作我的子民.

37:28 And the nations will know that I, Yahweh, am consecrating Israel when my sanctuary is in the midst of them forever.” ’ ”
我的圣所在以色列人中间直到永远, 外邦人就必知道我是叫以色列成为圣的耶和华. ”

38:1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:

38:2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the head leader of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.
“人子啊, 你要面向玛各地的歌革, 就是罗施,米设,土巴的王发预言攻击他,

38:3 And you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, Gog, the head leader of Meshach and Tubal,
说主耶和华如此说: 罗施,米设,土巴的王歌革啊, 我与你为敌.

38:4 and I will turn you around, and I will place hooks in your cheeks, and I will bring you out and all of your horses and horsemen fully armed, all of them, a great crowd, holding a shield, and small shield, and holding swords, all of them.
我必用钩子钩住你的腮颊, 调转你, 将你和你的军兵,马匹,马兵带出来, 都披挂整齐, 成了大队, 有大小盾牌, 各拿刀剑.

38:5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them, with a small shield and helmet.
波斯人,古实人, 和弗人(又作利比亚人), 各拿盾牌, 头上戴盔;

38:6 Gomer and all of its troops, Beth Togarmah, the remote areas of the north, and with all of its troops and many peoples with them.
歌篾人和他的军队, 北方极处的陀迦玛族和他的军队, 这许多国的民都同着你.

38:7 Be ready, and prepare yourselves, you and all of your assembly, the assembling around you, and you must be for them as a guard.
“那聚集到你这里的各队都当准备; 你自己也要准备, 作他们的大帅.

38:8 After many days you will be mustered; in the last years you will come to a restored land from the sword, gathered from many peoples on the mountains of Israel which were as permanent ruins but from peoples it was brought out, and they will dwell in safety, all of them.
过了多日, 你必被差派. 到末后之年, 你必来到脱离刀剑从列国收回之地, 到以色列常久荒凉的山上; 但那从列国中招聚出来的必在其上安然居住.

38:9 And you will advance like a storm; you will come, and you will be like a cloud covering the land, and all of your troops and many nations along with you.”
你和你的军队, 并同着你许多国的民, 必如暴风上来, 如密云遮盖地面. ”

38:10 “ ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “And then on that day, things will come up on your mind, and you will devise evil plans.

38:11 And you will say, ‘I will go up against a land of open country; I will come to the people being at rest in safety, all of them dwelling without a wall and crossbars and without doors,
说: ‘我要上那无城墙的乡村, 我要到那安静的民那里, 他们都没有城墙, 无门,无闩, 安然居住.

38:12 to loot loot, and to plunder plunder, to assail inhabited ruins and a people gathered together from various peoples and who are acquiring livestock and goods and dwelling at the center of the world.
我去要抢财为掳物, 夺货为掠物, 反手攻击那从前荒凉,现在有人居住之地, 又攻击那住世界中间,从列国招聚,得了牲畜财货的民. ’

38:13 Sheba and Dedan and traders of Tarshish and all its strong lions, they will ask you, ‘To loot loot are you coming? To plunder plunder have you summoned your assembly, to take away silver and gold, to take livestock and goods, to loot great amounts of loot?” ’
示巴人,底但人,他施的客商, 和其间的少壮狮子都必问你说: ‘你来要抢财为掳物吗? 你聚集军队要夺货为掠物吗? 要夺取金银, 掳去牲畜,财货吗? 要抢夺许多财宝为掳物吗? ’

38:14 “Therefore prophesy, son of man, and you must say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Will you not realize on that day when my people Israel are dwelling in safety,
“人子啊, 你要因此发预言, 对歌革说, 主耶和华如此说: 到我民以色列安然居住之日, 你岂不知道吗?

38:15 and so you will come from your place, from the remote areas of the north, you and many people with you, horsemen all of them, a great crowd and a vast army,
你必从本地, 从北方的极处率领许多国的民来, 都骑著马, 乃一大队极多的军兵.

38:16 and you will advance against my people Israel like a cloud covering the land; it will be in the last days, and I will bring you against my land, so that the nations know me, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes, O Gog!” ’
歌革啊, 你必上来攻击我的民以色列, 如密云遮盖地面. 末后的日子, 我必带你来攻击我的地, 到我在外邦人眼前, 在你身上显为圣的时候, 好叫他们认识我.

38:17 “Thus says the Lord Yahweh, ‘Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel who were prophesying in those days for years that I would bring you against them?
主耶和华如此说: 我在古时藉我的仆人以色列的先知所说的, 就是你吗? 当日他们多年预言我必带你来攻击以色列人. ”

38:18 And so then in that day, on the day of the coming of God against the land of Israel,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘my rage will come up in my anger.
主耶和华说: “歌革上来攻击以色列地的时候, 我的怒气要从鼻孔里发出.

38:19 And in my passion, in the fire of my wrath, I spoke that certainly on that day a great earthquake will be on the land of Israel.

39:10 And they will not carry trees from the field, and they will not chop wood from the forests, for with the weapons they will light a fire; and they will plunder those plundering them, and they will plunder those plundering them,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
甚至他们不必从田野捡柴, 也不必从树林伐木; 因为他们要用器械烧火, 并且抢夺那抢夺他们的人, 掳掠那掳掠他们的人. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

39:11 “ ‘ “And then on that day I will give to Gog a grave there in Israel, The Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea, and it will block the travelers and Gog and all of his hordes they will bury there, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-Gog.
“当那日, 我必将以色列地的谷, 就是海东人所经过的谷, 赐给歌革为坟地, 使经过的人到此停步. 在那里人必葬埋歌革和他的群众, 就称那地为哈们‧歌革谷.

39:12 And the house of Israel will bury them for seven months to cleanse the land.
以色列家的人必用七个月葬埋他们, 为要洁净全地.

39:13 All of the people of the land will bury them, and it will be an honor for them on the day when I appear,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
全地的居民都必葬埋他们. 当我得荣耀的日子, 这事必叫他们得名声. 这是主耶和华说的.

39:14 ʻ“And they will set apart men to continually go through the land burying the travelers, the ones left over on the surface of the land to cleanse it; for the whole of seven months they will explore it.
他们必分派人时常巡查遍地, 与过路的人一同葬埋那剩在地面上的尸首, 好洁净全地. 过了七个月, 他们还要巡查.

39:15 And the ones going through, they will go through within the land, and if anyone sees the bones of a person, then he will build beside it a sign to remain until the buriers have buried him in the Valley of Hamon-Gog.
巡查遍地的人要经过全地, 见有人的骸骨, 就在旁边立一标记, 等葬埋的人来将骸骨葬在哈们‧歌革谷.

39:16 And furthermore the name of the city there is Hamonah, and thus they will cleanse the land.” ’
他们必这样洁净那地, 并有一城名叫哈摩那.

39:17 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Say to all kinds of birds and animals of the field, “Be gathered, come be gathered from everywhere to my sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you will eat flesh, and you will drink blood.
“人子啊, 主耶和华如此说: 你要对各类的飞鸟和田野的走兽说: 你们聚集来吧, 要从四方聚到我为你们献祭之地, 就是在以色列山上献大祭之地, 好叫你们吃肉,喝血.

39:18 Flesh of warriors you will eat, and the blood of leaders of the land you will drink; rams, young rams and goats, bulls, and the fattened animals of Bashan—all of them!
你们必吃勇士的肉, 喝地上首领的血, 就如吃公绵羊,羊羔,公山羊,公牛, 都是巴珊的肥畜.

39:19 And you will eat fat until you are satiated, and you will drink blood until you are drunk from my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you,
你们吃我为你们所献的祭, 必吃饱了脂油, 喝醉了血.

39:20 and you will be satisfied at my table with horse and horsemen and warriors and every man of war,” ’ declares the Lord Yahweh.
你们必在我席上饱吃马匹和坐车的人, 并勇士和一切的战士. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

39:21 “And I will display my glory among the nations, and all of the nations will see my judgment that I have executed and my hand that I have laid upon them.
“我必显我的荣耀在列国中; 万民就必看见我所行的审判与我在他们身上所加的手.

39:22 “And the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God from that day and beyond,
这样, 从那日以后, 以色列家必知道我是耶和华─他们的神.

39:23 and the nations will know that because of their guilt the house of Israel went into exile, because they acted unfaithfully against me, and I hid my face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their foes, and they fell by the sword, all of them.
列国人也必知道以色列家被掳掠是因他们的罪孽. 他们得罪我, 我就掩面不顾, 将他们交在敌人手中, 他们便都倒在刀下.

39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgression I dealt with them, and I hid my face from them.
我是照他们的污秽和罪过待他们, 并且我掩面不顾他们. ”

39:25 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all of the house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name.
主耶和华如此说: “我要使雅各被掳的人归回, 要怜悯以色列全家, 又为我的圣名发热心.

39:26 And they will forget their disgrace and all of their infidelity that they displayed against me when they dwelt on their soil in safety with nobody making them afraid.
他们在本地安然居住, 无人惊吓, 是我将他们从万民中领回, 从仇敌之地召来. 我在许多国的民眼前, 在他们身上显为圣的时候, 他们要担当自己的羞辱和干犯我的一切罪.

39:27 When I restore them from the nations and I gather them from the countries of their enemies, then I will show myself holy through them before the eyes of many nations.
a

39:28 And they will know that I am Yahweh their God, because of when I deported them into the nations, and I reassembled them to their soil, and I will not let any of them remain there any longer.
因我使他们被掳到外邦人中, 后又聚集他们归回本地, 他们就知道我是耶和华─他们的神; 我必不再留他们一人在外邦.

39:29 And I will not hide my face again from them when I pour out my Spirit over the house of Israel,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
我也不再掩面不顾他们, 因我已将我的灵浇灌以色列家. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 40

40:1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed, in this day exactly, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there
我们被掳掠第二十五年, 耶路撒冷城攻破后十四年, 正在年初, 月之初十日, 耶和华的灵(原文是手)降在我身上, 他把我带到以色列地.

40:2 in visions from God. He brought me to the land of Israel and put me on a very high mountain, and on it was something like a structure of a city to the south.
在神的异象中带我到以色列地, 安置在至高的山上; 在山上的南边有仿佛一座城建立.

40:3 And he brought me there, and look, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, and a cord of linen was in his hand and a reed for measurement; he was standing in the gate.
他带我到那里, 见有一人, 颜色(原文是形状)如铜, 手拿麻绳和量度的竿, 站在门口.

40:4 And the man spoke to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and listen with your ears and apply your heart to all that I am showing you, for you were brought here in order to show you this; tell all that you are seeing to the house of Israel.”
那人对我说: “人子啊, 凡我所指示你的, 你都要用眼看, 用耳听, 并要放在心上. 我带你到这里来, 特为要指示你; 凡你所见的, 你都要告诉以色列家. ”

40:5 And there was a wall on the outside of the temple all the way around it, and in the hand of the man the reed for measurement was six long cubits, according to the cubit and a handbreadth, and he measured the width of the outer wall as one reed, and the height as one reed.
我见殿四围有墙. 那人手拿量度的竿, 长六肘, 每肘是一肘零一掌. 他用竿量墙, 厚一竿, 高一竿.

40:6 And then he went toward the gate whose face was to the east. And he went up by its steps, and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide.
他到了朝东的门, 就上门的台阶, 量门的这槛, 宽一竿; 又量门的那槛, 宽一竿.

40:7 And the alcove was one reed long and one reed wide, and between the alcoves was five cubits, and the threshold of the gate along the side of the portico of the gate on the inside was one reed.
又有卫房, 每房长一竿, 宽一竿, 相隔五肘. 门槛, 就是挨着向殿的廊门槛, 宽一竿.

40:8 And then he measured the portico of the gate on the inside as one reed.
他又量向殿门的廊子, 宽一竿.

40:9 And he measured the portico of the gate as eight cubits, and its pilaster was two cubits thick, and he measured the portico of the gate on the inside.
又量门廊, 宽八肘, 墙柱厚二肘; 那门的廊子向着殿.

40:10 And the alcoves of the gate toward the way eastward were three on each side; the same measurements applied to all three of them; and the same measurement applied to the pilaster on each side.
东门洞有卫房: 这旁三间, 那旁三间, 都是一样的尺寸; 这边的柱子和那边的柱子, 也是一样的尺寸.

40:11 And he measured the width of the doorway of the gate as ten cubits and the length of the gateway was thirteen cubits.
他量门口, 宽十肘, 长十三肘.

40:12 And a wall was before the alcoves; one cubit on either side was the wall from here. And the alcove was six cubits on each side.
卫房前展出的境界: 这边一肘, 那边一肘; 卫房这边六肘, 那边六肘.

40:13 And he measured the gate from the top slab of the alcove to its opposite top slab as twenty-five cubits in width, from one entrance to the other one opposite it.
又量门洞, 从这卫房顶的后檐到那卫房顶的后檐, 宽二十五肘; 卫房门与门相对.

40:14 And he made the pilasters sixty cubits, and to the pilaster of the courtyard all the way around the gate.
又量(原文是造)廊子六十肘(七十士译本是二十肘), 墙柱外是院子, 有廊为界, 在门洞两边.

40:15 And from the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the portico of the inner gate was fifty cubits.
从大门口到内廊前, 共五十肘.

40:16 And there were narrow windows for the alcoves and for their pilasters to the inside of the gate all the way around it. And likewise with respect to the porticos and windows were all the way around to the inside, and on a pilaster there were images of palm trees.
卫房和门洞两旁柱间并廊子, 都有严紧的窗櫺; 里边都有窗櫺, 柱上有雕刻的棕树.

40:17 And he brought me to the outer courtyard, and there were chambers and a pavement made for the courtyard all around it, and thirty chambers were facing to the pavement.
他带我到外院, 见院的四围有铺石地; 铺石地上有屋子三十间.

40:18 And the pavement flanked the side of the gates and all along the gates; this describes the lower pavement.
铺石地, 就是矮铺石地在各门洞两旁, 以门洞的长短为度.

40:19 And he measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the front of the outside of the inner courtyard as a hundred cubits to the east and to the north.
他从下门量到内院外, 共宽一百肘, 东面北面都是如此.

40:20 And as for the gate that had its face toward the north of the outer courtyard, he measured its length and its width.

40:22 And its windows and its porticos and its palm tree images were like the measurement of the gate that was facing toward the east; and it had seven steps that go up it, and there were porticos before them.
其窗櫺和廊子, 并雕刻的棕树, 与朝东的门尺寸一样. 登七层台阶上到这门, 前面有廊子.

40:23 And a gate led to the inner courtyard, opposite the gate to the north and to the east, and he measured from gate to gate as a hundred cubits.
内院有门与这门相对, 北面东面都是如此. 他从这门量到那门, 共一百肘.

40:24 And then he took me toward the south, and look, a gate toward the south, and he measured its pilasters and its porticos; they had measurements just like the others.
他带我往南去, 见朝南有门, 又照先前的尺寸量门洞的柱子和廊子.

40:25 And there were for it windows and for its porticos all the way around it like these windows; fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
门洞两旁与廊子的周围都有窗櫺, 和先量的窗櫺一样. 门洞长五十肘, 宽二十五肘.

40:26 And seven steps were going up to it and its porticos before them. And it had palm tree images all along its pilasters.
登七层台阶上到这门, 前面有廊子; 柱上有雕刻的棕树, 这边一棵, 那边一棵.

40:27 And there was to the way of the south a gate for the inner courtyard, and he measured from gate to the gate on the way of the south, a hundred cubits.
内院朝南有门. 从这门量到朝南的那门, 共一百肘.

40:28 And he brought me to the inner courtyard through the gate of the south, and he measured the south gate, and it had measurements like the others.
他带我从南门到内院, 就照先前的尺寸量南门.

40:29 And its alcoves and its pilasters and its porticos were just like these measurements. And it had windows for it and for its porticos all the way around, fifty cubits along its length, and twenty-five cubits wide.

40:32 And he brought me to the inner courtyard by way of the east gate, and he measured the gate as just like the other measurements.

40:33 And its alcoves and its pilasters and its porticos were also like these measurements, and windows were for it and for its porticos all around; its length was fifty cubits, and it was twenty-five cubits wide.

廊柱朝着外院. 门洞两旁的柱子都有雕刻的棕树. 登八层台阶上到这门.

40:38 And a chamber with its doorway was in the pilasters at the gates, and there they rinsed off the burnt offering.
门洞的柱旁有屋子和门; 祭司(原文是他们)在那里洗燔祭牲.

40:39 And in the portico of the gate were two tables on each side to slaughter the burnt offering on them and the sin offering and the guilt offering.
在门廊内, 这边有两张桌子, 那边有两张桌子, 在其上可以宰杀燔祭牲,赎罪祭牲, 和赎愆祭牲.

40:40 And on the outer side as one goes up to the doorway of the gate to the north were two tables, and on the other side, which is toward the portico of the gate, were two tables.
上到朝北的门口, 这边有两张桌子, 门廊那边也有两张桌子.

40:41 On each side of the gate were four tables, eight tables in all, and on them they slaughtered sacrifices.
门这边有四张桌子, 那边有四张桌子, 共八张; 在其上祭司宰杀牺牲.

40:42 And four tables were for the burnt offering, and made of dressed stones, one cubit and a half long and one cubit and a half wide and one cubit high was their measurements, and they placed the objects with which they slaughtered the burnt offering on them and the sacrifice.
为燔祭牲有四张桌子, 是凿过的石头做成的, 长一肘半, 宽一肘半, 高一肘. 祭司将宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲所用的器皿放在其上.

40:43 And there were double-pronged hooks, one handbreadth in width, put in place in the house all around, and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
有钩子, 宽一掌, 钉在廊内的四围. 桌子上有牺牲的肉.

40:44 And on the outside of the inner gate, there were chambers for singers in the inner courtyard, which was to the side of the north gate, and their faces were to the south with respect to one, and on the side of the east gate one facing to the north.
在北门旁, 内院里有屋子, 为歌唱的人而设. 这屋子朝南(南: 原文是东); 在南门旁, 又有一间朝北.

40:45 And he said to me, “This chamber with its face toward the south is for the priests who are taking care of the responsibility of the temple.
他对我说: “这朝南的屋子是为看守殿宇的祭司;

40:46 And the chamber with its face to the north is for the priests who are taking care of the responsibility of the altar. They are the descendants of Zadok, the ones who approach from among the descendants of Levi to Yahweh to serve him.”
那朝北的屋子是为看守祭坛的祭司. 这些祭司是利未人中撒督的子孙, 近前来事奉耶和华的. ”

40:47 And he measured the courtyard as to its length, a hundred cubits, and a hundred cubits wide, squared, and the altar is in front of the temple.

Ezekiel - Chapter 41

41:1 And he brought me to the temple sanctuary, and he measured the pilasters, six cubits wide on each side; this was the width of the tent.
他带我到殿那里量墙柱: 这面厚六肘, 那面厚六肘, 宽窄与会幕相同.

41:2 And the width of the doorway was ten cubits, and the sidewall of the doorway was five cubits on each side, and he measured its length as forty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits.

他到内殿量墙柱, 各厚二肘. 门口宽六肘, 门两旁各宽七肘.

41:4 And he measured its length as twenty cubits and its width as twenty cubits to the front of the temple, and he said to me, “This is the most holy place.
他量内殿, 长二十肘, 宽二十肘. 他对我说: “这是至圣所. ”

41:5 And he measured the wall of the temple as six cubits, and the width of the side room as four cubits all along the outside wall for the temple all around the wall.
他又量殿墙, 厚六肘; 围着殿有旁屋, 各宽四肘.

41:6 And the side rooms were side by side in three stories and a total of thirty rooms, and there were offsets in the wall, which was for the temple for the side rooms, all the way around to be supports, and so they were not supports extending into the wall of the temple.
旁屋有三层, 层叠而上, 每层排列三十间. 旁屋的梁木搁在殿墙坎上, 免得插入殿墙.

41:7 And each level widened, and it went around upward to the side rooms for the structure that surrounds the temple upward all the way around, therefore the width increased to the temple upward, and thus the lower level goes up to the upper level by means of the middle story.
这围殿的旁屋越高越宽; 因旁屋围殿悬叠而上, 所以越上越宽, 从下一层, 由中一层, 到上一层.

41:8 And I saw for the temple a platform all the way around the foundations of the side rooms; it was the length of a full reed, six cubits long.
我又见围着殿有高月台. 旁屋的根基, 高足一竿, 就是六大肘.

41:9 The width of the outside wall, which was for the side room to the outside, was five cubits, and a space that was set between the side rooms, which was for the temple
旁屋的外墙厚五肘. 旁屋之外还有余地.

41:10 and between the chambers was the width of twenty cubits all around the temple, all the way around it.
在旁屋与对面的房屋中间有空地, 宽二十肘.

41:11 And the doorway of the side room faced the open area; one doorway faced the north, and one doorway was to the south, and the width of the place of the open area was five cubits all around.
旁屋的门都向余地: 一门向北, 一门向南. 周围的余地宽五肘.

41:12 And the building that faced the courtyard was toward the west, and its width was seventy cubits, and the wall of the building was five cubits wide all the way around, and its length was ninety cubits.
在西面空地之后有房子, 宽七十肘, 长九十肘, 墙四围厚五肘.

41:13 And he measured the temple, and its length was a hundred cubits, and the courtyard and the building and its walls, their length was a hundred cubits.
这样, 他量殿, 长一百肘, 又量空地和那房子并墙, 共长一百肘.

41:14 And the width of the front of the temple and the courtyard to the east was a hundred cubits.
殿的前面和两旁的空地, 宽一百肘.

41:15 And he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear and its galleries, a hundred cubits on each side, and also the temple, the court, and the porticos of the courtyard,
他量空地后面的那房子, 并两旁的楼廊, 共长一百肘.

41:16 the thresholds and the framed windows and the galleries around the three of them. Before the threshold was a covering of wood all around, and from the ground up to the windows, and all around the windows, they were covered.
内殿,院廊,门槛,严紧的窗櫺, 并对着门槛的三层楼廊, 从地到窗櫺(窗櫺都有蔽子),

41:17 Above the doorway and up to the inner temple and on the outside, and on all of the wall all the way around in the inner and in the outer areas were patterns,
直到门以上, 就是到内殿和外殿内外四围墙壁, 都按尺寸用木板遮蔽.

41:18 and it was made of cherubim and palm tree images; a palm tree image between cherub and cherub, and the cherub had two faces.
墙上雕刻基路伯和棕树. 每二基路伯中间有一棵棕树, 每基路伯有二脸.

41:19 And the face of a human was toward the palm tree image on the one side, and the face of a fierce strong lion faced the palm tree image on the other side; this work was executed for the entire temple all the way around.
这边有人脸向着棕树, 那边有狮子脸向着棕树, 殿内周围都是如此.

41:20 From the ground up to above the doorway, the cherubim and the palm tree images were made, and also the outer wall of the temple.
从地至门以上, 都有基路伯和棕树. 殿墙就是这样.

41:21 As far as the temple is concerned its doorframe was squared, and before the sanctuary was the appearance as it were the appearance of
殿的门柱是方的. 至圣所的前面, 形状和殿的形状一样.

41:22 a wooden altar that was three cubits high, and its length was two cubits, and its corners for it and its length and its walls were of wood. And he spoke to me, “This is the table that is before Yahweh.”
坛是木头做的, 高三肘, 长二肘. 坛角和坛面, 并四旁, 都是木头做的. 他对我说: “这是耶和华面前的桌子. ”

41:23 And the two doors were for the temple and for the sanctuary.
殿和至圣所的门各有两扇.

41:24 And two leaves of a door were for each of the doors, two hinged leaves of a door: two were for the first door, and two leaves of a door were for the other door.
每扇分两扇, 这两扇是折叠的. 这边门分两扇, 那边门也分两扇.

41:25 And cherubim were made on them, that is, on the doors of the temple and palm tree images like the ones prepared for the walls; and an overhang of wood was on the surface of the porticos on the outside.
殿的门扇上雕刻基路伯和棕树, 与刻在墙上的一般. 在外头廊前有木槛.

41:26 And narrow windows and palm tree images were on either side, and on the side walls of the portico, and the side rooms of the temple and their overhang.
廊这边那边都有严紧的窗櫺和棕树; 殿的旁屋和槛就是这样.

Ezekiel - Chapter 42

42:1 And he brought me out to the outer courtyard to the north, and he brought me to the chamber which was opposite the courtyard and which is opposite the building to the north.
他带我出来向北, 到外院, 又带我进入圣屋; 这圣屋一排顺着空地, 一排与北边铺石地之屋相对.

42:2 As to the face of the length of the building with the doorway to the north, it was a hundred cubits, and its width was fifty cubits.
这圣屋长一百肘, 宽五十肘, 有向北的门.

42:3 Opposite the twenty cubits of the inner courtyard, and opposite the pavement that was to the outer courtyard was a gallery facing a gallery in the three stories.
对着内院那二十肘宽之空地, 又对着外院的铺石地, 在第三层楼上有楼廊对着楼廊.

42:4 And in front of the chambers was a passageway ten cubits in width toward the inside, a walkway of one cubit, and their doorways were to the north.
在圣屋前有一条夹道, 宽十肘, 长一百肘. 房门都向北.

42:5 And the upper chambers narrowed, for the galleries took away space from them more than they took from the lower levels and more than they took from the middle level in the building.
圣屋因为楼廊占去些地方, 所以上层比中下两层窄些.

42:6 For they were three stories and they had no pillars like the pillars of the courtyards; therefore they were smaller than the lower stories and than the middle stories from the ground up.
圣屋有三层, 却无柱子, 不像外院的屋子有柱子; 所以上层比中下两层更窄.

42:7 And there was a wall that was to the outside alongside the chambers on the walkway to the outer courtyard in front of the chambers; its length was fifty cubits.
圣屋外, 东边有墙, 靠着外院, 长五十肘.

42:8 For the length of the chambers which were to the outer courtyard was fifty cubits, and look! The chambers on the front of the temple were a hundred cubits.
靠着外院的圣屋长五十肘. 殿北面的圣屋长一百肘.

42:9 And from under these chambers was the entrance from the east for them when one enters from the outer courtyard.
在圣屋以下, 东头有进入之处, 就是从外院进入之处.

42:10 All along the width of the wall of the courtyard eastward in front of the courtyard to the front of the building were chambers.
向南(原文是东)在内院墙里有圣屋, 一排与铺石地之屋相对, 一排顺着空地.

42:11 And a walkway was before them like the appearance of the chambers which were on the north, just like them in their length, and so was their width and all their exits, and they were built like their arrangements and like their doorways,
这圣屋前的夹道与北边圣屋的夹道长宽一样; 出入之处与北屋门的样式相同.

42:12 and like the doorways of the chambers which were on the way of the south was a doorway at the head of the way before the stone wall, projecting on the way of the east at their coming.
正在墙前,夹道的东头, 有门可以进入, 与向南圣屋的门一样.

42:13 And he said to me, “The chambers of the north and the chambers of the south which are before the courtyard, they are the holy chambers in which the priests, who are near to Yahweh, will eat the most holy objects. There they shall put the most holy objects, and the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering, for the place is holy.
他对我说: “顺着空地的南屋北屋, 都是圣屋; 亲近耶和华的祭司当在那里吃至圣的物, 也当在那里放至圣的物, 就是素祭,赎罪祭, 和赎愆祭, 因此处为圣.

42:14 When the priests enter, then they shall not go out from the sanctuary to the outer courtyard; and there they must put their garments in which they serve because they are holy. They must put on other garments and then they may approach the area that is for the people.
祭司进去出了圣所的时候, 不可直到外院, 但要在圣屋放下他们供职的衣服, 因为是圣衣; 要穿上别的衣服才可以到属民的外院. ”

42:15 And he completed the measurements of the inner temple, and he brought me to the walkway of the gate that faces toward the east and he measured it all the way around.
他量完了内殿, 就带我出朝东的门, 量院的四围.

42:16 He measured the east side with the reed for measuring, five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement, he measured it all around.
他用量度的竿量四围, 量东面五百肘(原文是竿; 本章下同),

42:17 He measured the north side as five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement all around.
用竿量北面五百肘,

42:18 Then he measured the south side as five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement.
用竿量南面五百肘,

42:19 He went around the west side and he measured five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement.
又转到西面, 用竿量五百肘.

42:20 Toward the four sides he measured it; there was a wall for it all the way around. Its length was five hundred cubits and its width was five hundred cubits, in order to make a separation between what is holy and what is common.
他量四面, 四围有墙, 长五百肘, 宽五百肘, 为要分别圣地与俗地.

Ezekiel - Chapter 43

43:1 And he brought me to the gate which was facing east.
以后, 他带我到一座门, 就是朝东的门.

43:2 And, look! The glory of the God of Israel, it came from the way of the east, and its sound was like the sound of many waters and the land radiated due to his glory!
以色列神的荣光从东而来. 他的声音如同多水的声音; 地就因他的荣耀发光.

43:3 And the appearance of the vision which I saw was as the vision which I saw at his coming to destroy the city, and these visions were also as the vision which I saw by the Kebar River, and I fell on my face.
其状如从前他来灭城的时候我所见的异象, 那异象如我在迦巴鲁河边所见的异象, 我就俯伏在地.

43:4 And then the glory of Yahweh came to the temple by the way of the gate facing east.
耶和华的荣光从朝东的门照入殿中.

43:5 And the Spirit lifted me and it brought me to the inner courtyard and, look! The glory of Yahweh filled the temple!
灵将我举起, 带入内院, 不料, 耶和华的荣光充满了殿.

43:6 And I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and a man was standing beside me.
我听见有一位从殿中对我说话. 有一人站在我旁边.

43:7 And he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet where I will dwell in the midst of the Israelites to eternity, and they, the house of Israel, they and their kings, will not again defile my holy name with their fornication and with their offerings for the dead of their kings on their high places.
他对我说: “人子啊, 这是我宝座之地, 是我脚掌所踏之地. 我要在这里住, 在以色列人中直到永远. 以色列家和他们的君王必不再玷污我的圣名, 就是行邪淫,在锡安的高处葬埋他们君王的尸首,

43:8 When they placed their threshold with my threshold, their doorframe beside my doorframe and the wall was between me and between them, then they defiled my holy name, with their detestable things that they did, and so I consumed them in my anger.
使他们的门槛挨近我的门槛, 他们的门框挨近我的门框; 他们与我中间仅隔一墙, 并且行可憎的事, 玷污了我的圣名, 所以我发怒灭绝他们.

43:9 Now let them send their fornication far away and the offerings for the dead of their kings away from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
现在他们当从我面前远除邪淫和他们君王的尸首, 我就住在他们中间直到永远.

43:10 You, son of man, describe to the house of Israel the temple and let them be ashamed of their iniquities and let them measure the pattern.
人子啊, 你要将这殿指示以色列家, 使他们因自己的罪孽惭愧, 也要他们量殿的尺寸.

43:11 And if they are ashamed of all that they did, then the plan of the temple and its arrangement and its exits and its entrances and all of its plans and all of its statutes. And all of its plans and all of its laws make known to them and write them before their eyes, so that they may remember all of its plans and all of its statutes, so that they do them!
他们若因自己所行的一切事惭愧, 你就将殿的规模,样式,出入之处, 和一切形状,典章,礼仪,法则指示他们, 在他们眼前写上, 使他们遵照殿的一切规模典章去做.

43:12 This is the law of the temple: On the top of the mountain, all of its territory, all the way around it, will be most holy. Look, this is the law of the temple.
殿的法则乃是如此: 殿在山顶上, 四围的全界要称为至圣. 这就是殿的法则. ”

43:13 And these are the measurements of the altar in the cubits (a cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): now its gutter is a cubit in depth by a cubit in width and its rim along its edge all around is one span, and this is also the height of the altar.
以下量祭坛, 是以肘为度(这肘是一肘零一掌). 底座高一肘, 边宽一肘, 四围起边高一掌, 这是坛的座.

43:14 And from the gutter at the ground up to the lower ledge is two cubits, and its width is one cubit, and from the small ledge up to the large ledge is four cubits, and its width is one cubit.
从底座到下层磴台, 高二肘, 边宽一肘. 从小磴台到大磴台, 高四肘, 边宽一肘.

43:15 And the altar hearth was four cubits, and from the altar hearth and upwards were the four horns of the altar.
坛上的供台, 高四肘. 供台的四拐角上都有角.

43:16 And the altar hearth was twelve cubits in length and twelve cubits in width; it was squared on its four sides.
供台长十二肘, 宽十二肘, 四面见方.

43:17 And the ledge was fourteen cubits in length with fourteen cubits its width to all four of its sides, and a rim was all around it of one-half cubit. And the gutter for it was a cubit all around, and its steps were facing east.”
磴台长十四肘, 宽十四肘, 四面见方. 四围起边高半肘, 底座四围的边宽一肘. 台阶朝东.

43:18 And he said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it is made, to sacrifice a burnt offering on it and to sprinkle blood on it.
他对我说: “人子啊, 主耶和华如此说: 建造祭坛, 为要在其上献燔祭洒血, 造成的时候典章如下:

43:19 And you must give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, the ones coming near me,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “to serve me, a bull, a calf as a sin offering.
主耶和华说, 你要将一只公牛犊作为赎罪祭, 给祭司利未人撒督的后裔, 就是那亲近我,事奉我的.

43:20 You must take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, and the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all around; thus you must purify it and make atonement for it.
你要取些公牛的血, 抹在坛的四角和磴台的四拐角, 并四围所起的边上. 你这样洁净坛, 坛就洁净了.

43:21 And you must take the bull, the sin offering, and you must burn it in the designated place of the temple outside of the holy place.
你又要将那作赎罪祭的公牛犊烧在殿外,圣地之外预定之处.

43:22 And on the second day you must offer a he-goat without defect as a sin offering, and they must purify the altar like they purified with the bull.
次日, 要将无残疾的公山羊献为赎罪祭; 要洁净坛, 像用公牛犊洁净的一样.

43:23 When you are finished from purifying, you must offer a bull, a calf, without defect, and a ram from the flock without defect.
洁净了坛, 就要将一只无残疾的公牛犊和羊群中一只无残疾的公绵羊

43:24 And you must bring them near before Yahweh, and the priests must throw salt on them, and they must offer them as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
奉到耶和华前. 祭司要撒盐在其上, 献与耶和华为燔祭.

43:25 For seven days you must provide a goat of sin offering for the day and a bull, a calf, and a ram from the flock without defect; you must provide them.
七日内, 每日要预备一只公山羊为赎罪祭, 也要预备一只公牛犊和羊群中的一只公绵羊, 都要没有残疾的.

43:26 Seven days they must purify the altar and they must cleanse it and so they will consecrate it.
七日祭司洁净坛, 坛就洁净了; 要这样把坛分别为圣.

43:27 And they will finish the days, and then on the eighth day and beyond that the priests will offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, and then I will be pleased with you,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
满了七日, 自八日以后, 祭司要在坛上献你们的燔祭和平安祭; 我必悦纳你们. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 44

44:1 And he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that is facing east, and it was shut.
他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门; 那门关闭了.

44:2 And Yahweh said to me, “This gate will be shut. It shall not be opened, and no one will go through it, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered it, and it will be shut.
耶和华对我说: “这门必须关闭, 不可敞开, 谁也不可由其中进入; 因为耶和华─以色列的神已经由其中进入, 所以必须关闭.

44:3 The prince, he may sit in it to eat food before Yahweh; he will come from the way of the portico of the gate and by means of its way he will also go out.”
至于王, 他必按王的位分, 坐在其内, 在耶和华面前吃饼. 他必由这门的廊而入, 也必由此而出. ”

44:4 Then he brought me by the way of the gate of the north to the front of the temple, and I looked, and look! The glory of Yahweh filled the temple of Yahweh, and I fell on my face.
他又带我由北门来到殿前. 我观看, 见耶和华的荣光充满耶和华的殿, 我就俯伏在地.

44:5 And Yahweh said, “Son of man, set your heart and look with your eyes and with your ears hear everything I am saying to you concerning all the statutes of the temple of Yahweh and concerning all its laws, and you must listen with your heart concerning the entrance of the temple with all of the exits of the sanctuary.
耶和华对我说: “人子啊, 我对你所说耶和华殿中的一切典章法则, 你要放在心上, 用眼看, 用耳听, 并要留心殿宇和圣地一切出入之处.

44:6 And you must say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Enough for you, house of Israel, of all of your detestable things!
你要对那悖逆的以色列家说, 主耶和华如此说: 以色列家啊, 你们行一切可憎的事, 当够了吧!

44:7 At your bringing foreigners who are uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh to be in my sanctuary to profane it, my temple, as you offered my food, fat, and blood, so you broke my covenant by all of your detestable things.
你们把我的食物, 就是脂油和血献上的时候, 将身心未受割礼的外邦人领进我的圣地, 玷污了我的殿; 又背了我的约, 在你们一切可憎的事上, 加上这一层.

44:8 And you did not observe the responsibility of my sanctuary, but you appointed them as the keepers of my responsibility in my sanctuary for you.”
你们也没有看守我的圣物, 却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的.

44:9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Every foreigner uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh shall not come into my sanctuary—not any of the foreigners who are in the midst of the Israelites.
“主耶和华如此说: 以色列中的外邦人, 就是身心未受割礼的, 都不可入我的圣地. ”

44:10 But the Levites who removed themselves from me at the going astray of Israel, who went astray from me and went after their idols, as a result they will bear their guilt.
“当以色列人走迷的时候, 有利未人远离我, 就是走迷离开我,随从他们的偶像, 他们必担当自己的罪孽.

44:11 Then they will be in my sanctuary, those serving in my sanctuary, as sentries at the gates of the temple and as those serving the temple; they will slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they will stand before them to serve them,
然而他们必在我的圣地当仆役, 照管殿门, 在殿中供职; 必为民宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲, 必站在民前伺候他们.

44:12 because they used to serve them before their idols and they were for the house of Israel like a stumbling block of iniquity. Therefore I swore concerning them,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “that they will bear their iniquity.
因为这些利未人曾在偶像前伺候这民, 成了以色列家罪孽的绊脚石, 所以我向他们起誓: 他们必担当自己的罪孽. 这是主耶和华说的.

44:13 And they shall not approach me to serve as a priest for me and to come near to all of my holy objects, to the most holy objects, and they will bear their disgrace and the results of their detestable things they have done.
他们不可亲近我, 给我供祭司的职分, 也不可挨近我的一件圣物, 就是至圣的物; 他们却要担当自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的报应.

44:14 And I will appoint them as the keepers of the responsibility of the temple, for all of its work and everything which will be done in it.
然而我要使他们看守殿宇, 办理其中的一切事, 并做其内一切当做之工. ”

44:15 But the Levitical priests, the descendants of Zadok, who cared for the responsibility of my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, they will approach me to serve me, and they will stand before me to offer to me fat and blood,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
“以色列人走迷离开我的时候, 祭司利未人撒督的子孙仍看守我的圣所. 他们必亲近我, 事奉我, 并且侍立在我面前, 将脂油与血献给我. 这是主耶和华说的.

44:16 “They shall come to my sanctuary, and they shall approach my table to serve me, and they will observe my requirement.
他们必进入我的圣所, 就近我的桌前事奉我, 守我所吩咐的.

44:17 And then when they come to the gates of the inner courtyards, they shall put on their inner linen garments and not wear wool garments when they serve in the gates of the inner courtyard and inside the temple.
他们进内院门必穿细麻衣. 在内院门和殿内供职的时候不可穿羊毛衣服.

44:18 Linen turbans shall be on their head and linen undergarments shall be on their waists; they shall not gird themselves with material causing perspiration.
他们头上要戴细麻布裹头巾, 腰穿细麻布裤子; 不可穿使身体出汗的衣服.

44:19 When they go out to the outer courtyard to the people, they must take off their garment in which they were serving, and they must place them in the holy chambers, and they must put on other garments, so that they will not make the people holy with their garments.
他们出到外院的民那里, 当脱下供职的衣服, 放在圣屋内, 穿上别的衣服, 免得因圣衣使民成圣.

44:20 And their head they shall not shave, or long hair they shall not let grow; short they shall clip their heads.
不可剃头, 也不可容发绺长长, 只可剪发.

44:21 And no priest shall drink wine when they come into the inner courtyard.
祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒.

44:22 And a widow or divorced woman they shall not take for themselves as wives, but only a virgin from the offspring of the house of Israel, or the widow who is a widow for a priest they may take.
不可娶寡妇和被休的妇人为妻, 只可娶以色列后裔中的处女, 或是祭司遗留的寡妇.

44:23 And they will teach my people the difference between what is holy and what is unholy, and the difference between unclean and clean they must show them.
他们要使我的民知道圣俗的分别, 又使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的.

44:24 And at a legal dispute they themselves shall stand to judge; employing my judgments they shall judge it, and with respect to my laws and my statutes. All my festivals they shall keep and my Sabbaths they shall consecrate.
有争讼的事, 他们应当站立判断, 要按我的典章判断. 在我一切的节期必守我的律法,条例, 也必以我的安息日为圣日.

44:25 And near a dead person he shall not come to be defiled, but only for a father and for a mother and for a son and for a daughter, for a brother and for a sister who was not married may they defile themselves.
他们不可挨近死尸沾染自己, 只可为父亲,母亲,儿子,女儿,弟兄, 和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己.

44:26 And, after his cleansing, they shall count for him seven days,
祭司洁净之后, 必再计算七日.

44:27 and then on the day of his coming into the sanctuary to the inner courtyard to serve in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
当他进内院, 进圣所, 在圣所中事奉的日子, 要为自己献赎罪祭. 这是主耶和华说的.

44:28 And thus it will be to them as regards inheritance, that I am their inheritance, and so you shall not give to them property in Israel; I am their property.
“祭司必有产业, 我是他们的产业. 不可在以色列中给他们基业; 我是他们的基业.

44:29 The grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering, they themselves may eat them, and also all the consecrated possessions in Israel will be theirs.
素祭,赎罪祭, 和赎愆祭他们都可以吃, 以色列中一切永献的物都要归他们.

44:30 And also what is first of all of the firstfruits of everything, and of all of the contribution of everything from all of your contributions, to the priest it belongs, and what is first of your dough you shall give to the priest, so that a blessing may rest on your house.
首先初熟之物和一切所献的供物都要归给祭司. 你们也要用初熟的麦子磨面给祭司; 这样, 福气就必临到你们的家了.

44:31 Any dead body or mangled carcass from the birds or from the animals, the priests shall not eat.”
无论是鸟是兽, 凡自死的, 或是撕裂的, 祭司都不可吃. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 45

45:1 And when you allocate the land as an inheritance, you shall provide a contribution for Yahweh as a holy portion from the land, its length being twenty-five thousand cubits and its width ten thousand cubits; it is holy in all its territory, all around.
你们拈阄分地为业, 要献上一分给耶和华为圣供地, 长二万五千肘, 宽一万肘. 这分以内, 四围都为圣地.

45:2 And there shall be from this area five hundred cubits by five hundred cubits, squared all around, for the sanctuary; and fifty cubits of open space shall be for it all around it.
其中有作为圣所之地, 长五百肘, 宽五百肘, 四面见方. 四围再有五十肘为郊野之地.

45:3 And from this measured area you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand cubits and a width of ten thousand cubits, and in it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.
要以肘为度量地, 长二万五千肘, 宽一万肘. 其中有圣所, 是至圣的.

45:4 It is a holy portion from the land; it will be for the priests, the servants of the sanctuary who approach to serve Yahweh, and it will be for them a place for houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.
这是全地的一分圣地, 要归与供圣所职事的祭司, 就是亲近事奉耶和华的, 作为他们房屋之地与圣所之圣地.

45:5 And an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width will be for the Levites, the servants of the temple. It will serve as property for them as cities to dwell in.
又有一分, 长二万五千肘, 宽一万肘, 要归与在殿中供职的利未人, 作为二十间房屋之业.

45:6 And as property of the city, you must set apart alongside the contribution of the sanctuary a portion five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and it shall be for the entire house of Israel.
也要分定属城的地业, 宽五千肘, 长二万五千肘, 挨着那分圣供地, 要归以色列全家.

45:7 And a portion will be for the prince on both sides of the holy district, and both sides of the property of the city, and alongside the property of the city on the west, and alongside the property on the east. And also its length corresponds to one of the tribal portions to the west running to the eastern border.
归王之地要在圣供地和属城之地的两旁, 就是圣供地和属城之地的旁边, 西至西头, 东至东头, 从西到东, 其长与每支派的分一样.

45:8 This shall be to him with respect to the land as property in Israel; and so my princes shall not again oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”
这地在以色列中必归王为业. 我所立的王必不再欺压我的民, 却要按支派将地分给以色列家.

45:9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Enough of this for you, the princes of Israel; put away violence and destruction and do justice and righteousness; revoke your acts of dispossession from upon my people!” declares the Lord Yahweh.
主耶和华如此说: “以色列的王啊, 你们应当知足, 要除掉强暴和抢夺的事, 施行公平和公义, 不再勒索我的民. 这是主耶和华说的.

45:10 There shall be for you an honest set of scales and an honest ephah and an honest bath.
你们要用公道天平,公道伊法,公道罢特.

45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be one unit of measurement; the tenth part of the homer is the bath, and the tenth of the homer is the ephah; so the homer shall be its unit of measurement.
伊法与罢特大小要一样. 罢特可盛贺梅珥十分之一, 伊法也可盛贺梅珥十分之一, 都以贺梅珥的大小为准.

45:12 And the shekel shall weigh twenty gerahs, twenty shekels and five and twenty shekels and ten and five shekels, that shall make the mina for you.
舍客勒是二十季拉; 二十舍客勒, 二十五舍客勒, 十五舍客勒, 为你们的弥那.

45:13 This is the contribution offering which you shall present: a sixth of the ephah from a homer of wheat, and a sixth of the ephah from a homer of barley.
“你们当献的供物乃是这样: 一贺梅珥麦子要献伊法六分之一; 一贺梅珥大麦要献伊法六分之一.

45:14 And the quota of the olive oil, the bath of the olive oil, is the tenth part of a bath from a kor, which is ten baths, or a homer—for ten baths are equal to a homer.
你们献所分定的油, 按油的罢特, 一柯珥油要献罢特十分之一(原来十罢特就是一贺梅珥).

45:15 And one sheep from the flock from among two hundred from the pastures of Israel will be taken as a grain offering and as a burnt offering and as a fellowship offering to make atonement for them,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
从以色列滋润的草场上每二百羊中, 要献一只羊羔. 这都可作素祭,燔祭,平安祭, 为民赎罪. 这是主耶和华说的.

45:16 “All of the people of the land shall join in to this contribution with the prince in Israel.
此地的民都要奉上这供物给以色列中的王.

45:17 “But on the prince shall be the responsibility for the burnt offerings, and the grain offering, and the libation at the feasts, and at the New Moon festivals, and at the Sabbaths at all of the assemblies of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sin offering, and the grain offering, and the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering to make atonement for the house of Israel.
王的本分是在节期,月朔,安息日, 就是以色列家一切的节期, 奉上燔祭,素祭,奠祭. 他要预备赎罪祭,素祭,燔祭, 和平安祭, 为以色列家赎罪. ”

45:18 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘On the first month on the first day of the month, you shall take a bull, a calf without defect, and you shall purify the sanctuary.
主耶和华如此说: “正月初一日, 你要取无残疾的公牛犊, 洁净圣所.

45:19 And the priest shall take from the blood of the sin offering, and he shall put it on the doorframe of the temple and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar and on the doorframe of the gate of the inner courtyard.
祭司要取些赎罪祭牲的血, 抹在殿的门柱上和坛磴台的四角上, 并内院的门框上.

45:20 And so you shall do on the seventh day in the month for anyone doing wrong inadvertently or due to ignorance, and so you must make atonement for the temple.
本月初七日(七十士译本是七月初一日)也要为误犯罪的和愚蒙犯罪的如此行, 为殿赎罪.

45:21 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the Passover, a feast lasting for seven days, when you shall eat unleavened breads.
“正月十四日, 你们要守逾越节, 守节七日, 要吃无酵饼.

45:22 And the prince shall provide on that day for himself and for all of the people of the land a bull as a sin offering.
当日, 王要为自己和国内的众民预备一只公牛作赎罪祭.

45:23 And during the seven days of the religious feast he shall provide as a burnt offering to Yahweh seven bulls and seven rams without defect for each of the seven days, and as a sin offering a he-goat for each day.
这节的七日, 每日他要为耶和华预备无残疾的公牛七只,公绵羊七只为燔祭. 每日又要预备公山羊一只为赎罪祭.

45:24 And as a grain offering, an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram he must provide, and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
他也要预备素祭, 就是为一只公牛同献一伊法细面, 为一只公绵羊同献一伊法细面, 每一伊法细面加油一欣.

45:25 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall provide just as he has for these seven days, as he did for the sin offering, as he did for the burnt offering, and as he did for the grain offering, and as he did for the olive oil.’ ”
七月十五日守节的时候, 七日他都要如此行, 照逾越节的赎罪祭,燔祭,素祭, 和油的条例一样. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 46

46:1 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east must be shut on the six of the days for work, but on the day of the Sabbath it must be opened and on the day of the new moon it must be opened.
主耶和华如此说: “内院朝东的门, 在办理事务的六日内必须关闭; 惟有安息日和月朔必须敞开.

46:2 And the prince shall come by way of the portico of the gate from the outside, and he shall stand at the doorframe of the gate and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his fellowship offerings, and he shall bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be closed until the evening.
王要从这门的廊进入, 站在门框旁边. 祭司要为他预备燔祭和平安祭, 他就要在门槛那里敬拜, 然后出去. 这门直到晚上不可关闭.

46:3 And the people of the land will bow down at the doorway of that gate on the Sabbaths and on the new moons before Yahweh.
在安息日和月朔, 国内的居民要在这门口, 耶和华面前敬拜.

46:4 And the burnt offering which the prince will offer to Yahweh on the Sabbath day must be six male lambs without defect and a ram without defect.
安息日, 王所献与耶和华的燔祭要用无残疾的羊羔六只, 无残疾的公绵羊一只;

46:5 And the grain offering he will give shall be an ephah for each ram, and for the male lambs the grain offering shall be as much as he wants to give and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
同献的素祭要为公绵羊献一伊法细面, 为羊羔照他的力量而献, 一伊法细面加油一欣.

46:6 And on the day of the new moon he will offer a bull, a calf without defect and six male lambs and a ram; they must be without defect.
当月朔, 要献无残疾的公牛犊一只, 羊羔六只, 公绵羊一只, 都要无残疾的.

46:7 And an ephah for each bull and an ephah for the ram he must provide as a grain offering, and also for the male lambs as much as he can afford and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
他也要预备素祭, 为公牛献一伊法细面, 为公绵羊献一伊法细面, 为羊羔照他的力量而献, 一伊法细面加油一欣.

46:8 And when the prince comes, on the way of the portico of the gate he shall come and by this way he shall go out.
王进入的时候必由这门的廊而入, 也必由此而出.

46:9 And when the people of the land come before Yahweh at the festivals, the one coming by way of the gate of the north to bow down must go out by the way of the gate of the south, and the one coming by way of the gate of the south must go out by the way of the gate of the north, so he must not return by the way of the gate by which he came, but before it he shall go out opposite it.
在各节期, 国内居民朝见耶和华的时候, 从北门进入敬拜的, 必由南门而出; 从南门进入的, 必由北门而出. 不可从所入的门而出, 必要直往前行, 由对门而出.

46:10 And the prince will be in the midst of them; he will come in when they come in, and when they go out he will go out.
民进入, 王也要在民中进入; 民出去, 王也要一同出去.

46:11 And at the festivals and at the appointed times, the grain offering will be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with the ram and with the male lambs, as much as he wants to give, and a hin of olive oil for each ephah.
“在节期和圣会的日子同献的素祭, 要为一只公牛献一伊法细面, 为一只公绵羊献一伊法细面, 为羊羔照他的力量而献, 一伊法细面加油一欣.

46:12 And when the prince makes a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or a fellowship offering as a freewill offering to Yahweh, the gate facing east will be open for him. And he must offer his burnt offering and his fellowship offering just as he does on the day of the Sabbath, and then he must go out and the gate will shut after he goes out.
王预备甘心献的燔祭或平安祭, 就是向耶和华甘心献的, 当有人为他开朝东的门. 他就预备燔祭和平安祭, 与安息日预备的一样, 献毕就出去. 他出去之后, 当有人将门关闭. ”

46:13 And a male lamb, a yearling without defect, he must provide as a burnt offering daily for Yahweh; every morning he must provide it.
“每日, 你要预备无残疾一岁的羊羔一只, 献与耶和华为燔祭; 要每早晨预备.

46:14 And a grain offering he must provide in addition to it every morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of olive oil to moisten the finely milled flour as a grain offering to Yahweh as a perpetual statute.
每早晨也要预备同献的素祭, 细面一伊法六分之一, 并油一欣三分之一, 调和细面. 这素祭要常献与耶和华为永远的定例.

46:15 So they must provide the male lamb and the grain offering and the olive oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.”
每早晨要这样预备羊羔,素祭, 并油为常献的燔祭. ”

46:16 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “If the prince gives a gift to any one from among his sons, it is his inheritance and it will belong to his sons; it is their possession as an inheritance.
主耶和华如此说: “王若将产业赐给他的儿子, 就成了他儿子的产业, 那是他们承受为业的.

46:17 And if he give a gift from his inheritance to one from among his servants, then it will belong to him until the year of release, and then it will return to the prince. His inheritance with respect to his sons will be only for them.
倘若王将一分产业赐给他的臣仆, 就成了他臣仆的产业; 到自由之年仍要归与王. 至于王的产业, 必归与他的儿子.

46:18 But the prince shall not take from the inheritance of the people to rob them, separating them from their property; from his own property he shall bestow an inheritance on his sons, so that my people will not be driven away, any one, from his property.”
王不可夺取民的产业, 以致驱逐他们离开所承受的; 他要从自己的地业中, 将产业赐给他儿子, 免得我的民分散, 各人离开所承受的. ”

46:19 Then he brought me through the entrance which was on the side of the gate to the holy chambers to the priests; the chambers were facing northwards and, look, there was a place at the extreme end westwards.
那带我的, 将我从门旁进入之处,领进为祭司预备的圣屋, 是朝北的, 见后头西边有一块地.

46:20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests will boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering in order not to bring them out to the outer courtyard to make the people holy.
他对我说: “这是祭司煮赎愆祭,赎罪祭, 烤素祭之地, 免得带到外院, 使民成圣. ”

46:21 And he brought me to the outer courtyard and led me past the four corners of the courtyard; and look, there was a courtyard in each corner of the courtyard.
他又带我到外院, 使我经过院子的四拐角, 见每拐角各有一个院子.

46:22 In the four corners of the courtyard were small courtyards forty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, each with the same measurements for the four of them with corners.
院子四拐角的院子, 周围有墙, 每院长四十肘, 宽三十肘. 四拐角院子的尺寸都是一样,

46:23 And a row was all around inside them, and cooking-places were made under the rows of stones all around.
其中周围有一排房子, 房子内有煮肉的地方.

46:24 And he said to me, “These are the houses for cooking, where the ones serving the temple shall cook the sacrifices of the people.”
他对我说: “这都是煮肉的房子, 殿内的仆役要在这里煮民的祭物. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 47

47:1 And he brought me back to the doorway of the temple and, look! There was water coming out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, because the face of the temple was eastwards; and the water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, from south of the altar.
他带我回到殿门, 见殿的门槛下有水往东流出(原来殿面朝东). 这水从槛下, 由殿的右边, 在祭坛的南边往下流.

47:2 And he brought me out by the way of the north gate and he led me around by the way leading to the outside of the outer gate by way of the gate facing east, and look, there was water trickling from the south side.
他带我出北门, 又领我从外边转到朝东的外门, 见水从右边流出.

47:3 As the man went eastward a measuring line was in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits. And he led me through on into the water; it was ankle deep.
他手拿准绳往东出去的时候, 量了一千肘, 使我蹚过水, 水到踝子骨.

47:4 And he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me over into the waters and it was knee deep. And he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me over into the waters and it was waist deep.
他又量了一千肘, 使我蹚过水, 水就到膝; 再量了一千肘, 使我蹚过水, 水便到腰;

47:5 And he measured a thousand cubits, and it became a stream that I was not able to cross, because the water rose, waters a person could swim in, and became a stream that could not be crossed.
又量了一千肘, 水便成了河, 使我不能蹚过. 因为水势涨起, 成为可洑的水, 不可蹚的河.

47:6 And he asked me, “Son of man, did you see this?” And he made me go, and he brought me back along the bank of the stream.
他对我说: “人子啊, 你看见了甚么? ”他就带我回到河边.

47:7 When I returned, then look! On the bank of the river were many trees on both sides.
我回到河边的时候, 见在河这边与那边的岸上有极多的树木.

47:8 And he said to me, “These waters are going out to the eastern region, and they go down to the Jordan Valley, and they come to the sea and flow into the sea where they issue out, and the waters in the sea will be healed.
他对我说: “这水往东方流去, 必下到亚拉巴, 直到海. 所发出来的水必流入盐海, 使水变甜(原文是得医治; 下同).

47:9 And then every living creature with which it teems, to every place the waters come it will live; and very many fish will live because these waters came there, and so the water will be healed and everything will be alive everywhere that the stream will come.
这河水所到之处, 凡滋生的动物都必生活, 并且因这流来的水必有极多的鱼, 海水也变甜了. 这河水所到之处, 百物都必生活.

47:10 And then fishers from En Gedi and on up to En Eglaim will stand beside it, a sea-girt drying yard for nets; their fish for the dragnets will be of every kind, like the fish of the great sea, and very many.
必有渔夫站在河边, 从隐‧基底直到隐‧以革莲, 都作晒(或译: 张)网之处. 那鱼各从其类, 好像大海的鱼甚多.

47:11 But its marshes and its swamps will not be cured, for they were given for salt.
只是泥泞之地与洼湿之处不得治好, 必为盐地.

47:12 And along the stream will go up on its banks from both sides every tree producing food; its leaf will not wither and it will not cease producing its fruit. Every month it will bear early fruit, for its waters are going out from the sanctuary, and its fruit will be as food, and its leaf for healing.”
在河这边与那边的岸上必生长各类的树木; 其果可作食物, 叶子不枯干, 果子不断绝. 每月必结新果子, 因为这水是从圣所流出来的. 树上的果子必作食物, 叶子乃为治病. ”

47:13 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “This is the boundary by which you shall distribute the land for the twelve tribes of Israel: Two shares shall be for Joseph.
主耶和华如此说: “你们要照地的境界, 按以色列十二支派分地为业. 约瑟必得两分.

47:14 And you must take possession of it, each one a share like his brother, of this land which I swore to give it to your fathers, and so this land shall fall to you as an inheritance.
你们承受这地为业, 要彼此均分; 因为我曾起誓应许将这地赐与你们的列祖; 这地必归你们为业.

47:15 And this is the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethlon until you come to Zedad,
“地的四界乃是如此: 北界从大海往希特伦, 直到西达达口.

47:16 Hamath to Berothath to Sibraim, which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath, on to Hazer Hatticon, which is on the boundary of Hauran.
又往哈马,比罗他,西伯莲(西伯莲在大马士革与哈马两界中间), 到浩兰边界的哈撒‧哈提干.

47:17 And so the boundary will be from the sea to Hazar Enan at the boundary of Damascus northwards and the boundary of Hamath to the north, and this is the boundary on the side of the north.
这样, 境界从海边往大马士革地界上的哈萨‧以难, 北边以哈马地为界. 这是北界.

47:18 And the eastern boundary will be between Hauran and Damascus, and from between Gilead and the land of Israel along the Jordan River from the boundary on the eastern sea to Tamar. And this is the border on the east.
东界在浩兰,大马士革,基列, 和以色列地的中间, 就是约旦河. 你们要从北界量到东海. 这是东界.

47:19 And on the south side the border will run from Tamar up to the waters of Meribot Kadesh and along the wadi to the Great Sea. And this is the boundary to the south.
南界是从他玛到米利巴‧加低斯的水, 延到埃及小河, 直到大海. 这是南界.

47:20 And on the west side the Great Sea shall be the boundary up to opposite Lebo-Hamath. This is the western boundary.
“西界就是大海, 从南界直到哈马口对面之地. 这是西界.

47:21 You shall divide this land for yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
“你们要按著以色列的支派彼此分这地.

47:22 And then you shall allocate it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens dwelling as aliens in the midst of you who have children in the midst of you, and so they shall be to you just like full citizens among the Israelites. With you they shall be allotted with an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
要拈阄分这地为业, 归与自己和你们中间寄居的外人, 就是在你们中间生养儿女的外人. 你们要看他们如同以色列人中所生的一样; 他们在以色列支派中要与你们同得地业.

47:23 And then in the tribe in which an alien who is with you dwells, there you shall give his inheritance,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
外人寄居在哪支派中, 你们就在那里分给他地业. 这是主耶和华说的. ”

Ezekiel - Chapter 48

48:1 And these are the names of the tribes: At the end of the north, along the way to Hethlon from Lebo-hamath to Hazar Enan on the boundary of Damascus beside Hamath northward, there will be one portion for Dan from the eastern border to the west.
众支派按名所得之地记在下面: 从北头, 由希特伦往哈马口, 到大马士革地界上的哈萨‧以难. 北边靠着哈马地(各支派的地都有东西的边界), 是但的一分.

48:2 And next to the territory of Dan, from the eastern border up to the western border, one portion for Asher.
挨着但的地界, 从东到西, 是亚设的一分.

48:3 And next to the territory of Asher, from the eastern border and up to the western border, one portion for Naphtali.
挨着亚设的地界, 从东到西, 是拿弗他利的一分.

48:4 And next to the territory of Naphtali, from the eastern border up to the western border, one portion for Manasseh.

挨着流便的地界, 从东到西, 是犹大的一分.

48:8 And next to the territory of Judah, from the eastern border up to the western border, shall be located the contribution that you set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and its length just like one of the portions from the eastern border up to the western border, and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
挨着犹大的地界, 从东到西, 必有你们所当献的供地, 宽二万五千肘. 从东界到西界, 长短与各分之地相同, 圣地当在其中.

48:9 The contribution that you shall set apart for Yahweh, its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and its width ten thousand cubits.
你们献与耶和华的供地要长二万五千肘, 宽一万肘.

48:10 And to these shall be the holy district: to the priests northwards twenty-five thousand cubits, and westwards its width ten thousand cubits, and eastwards its width ten thousand cubits, and southwards its length twenty-five thousand cubits, and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in the midst of it.
这圣供地要归与祭司, 北长二万五千肘, 西宽一万肘, 东宽一万肘, 南长二万五千肘. 耶和华的圣地当在其中.

48:11 To the priests, the ones being consecrated from the descendants of Zadok, who took care of my service and who did not go astray when the Israelites went astray, just as the Levites went astray.
这地要归与撒督的子孙中成为圣的祭司, 就是那守我所吩咐的. 当以色列人走迷的时候, 他们不像那些利未人走迷了.

48:12 And it will be for them a special gift from the contribution of the land as a most holy object next to the territory of the Levites.
这要归与他们为供地, 是全地中至圣的. 供地挨着利未人的地界.

48:13 And the Levites alongside the territory of the priests shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and in width ten thousand cubits, its full length, twenty-five thousand cubits and its full width, ten thousand cubits.
利未人所得的地要长二万五千肘, 宽一万肘, 与祭司的地界相等, 都长二万五千肘, 宽一万肘.

48:14 And they shall not sell any part from it, and shall not exchange, and shall not transfer the best of the land, for it is holy to Yahweh.
这地不可卖, 不可换, 初熟之物也不可归与别人, 因为是归耶和华为圣的.

48:15 And the remaining part of five thousand cubits in the width by twenty-five thousand cubits, is unholy; it is for the city as dwelling and as pastureland; and the city will be located in the middle of it.
这二万五千肘前面所剩下五千肘宽之地要作俗用, 作为造城盖房郊野之地. 城要在当中.

48:16 And these shall be its measurements: on its side to the north, four thousand five hundred cubits; and on its side to the south, four thousand five hundred cubits; and on the eastern side, four thousand five hundred cubits; and on the western side, four thousand five hundred cubits.
城的尺寸乃是如此: 北面四千五百肘, 南面四千五百肘, 东面四千五百肘, 西面四千五百肘.

48:17 And a pastureland shall be for the city northwards, two hundred and fifty cubits, southwards two hundred and fifty cubits, and eastwards two hundred and fifty cubits, and westwards two hundred and fifty cubits.
城必有郊野, 向北二百五十肘, 向南二百五十肘, 向东二百五十肘, 向西二百五十肘.

48:18 And the rest in its length alongside the holy district, ten thousand cubits eastwards and ten thousand westwards; and it shall be alongside the holy district and its yield shall be as food for the workers of the city.
靠着圣供地的余地, 东长一万肘, 西长一万肘, 要与圣供地相等; 其中的土产要作城内工人的食物.

48:19 And the workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel shall cultivate it.
所有以色列支派中, 在城内做工的, 都要耕种这地.

48:20 All of the contribution, twenty-five thousand by twenty five thousand cubits square, you shall set apart as the holy district along with the property of the city.
你们所献的圣供地连归城之地, 是四方的: 长二万五千肘, 宽二万五千肘.

48:21 And the rest shall be to the prince, on both sides of the holy district and of the property of the city extending from twenty-five thousand cubits of the contribution up to the boundary of the east, and westwards extending twenty-five thousand cubits to the boundary of the sea alongside the tribal portions. They shall be for the prince, and it shall be the holy district, and the sanctuary of the temple will be in its middle.
圣供地连归城之地, 两边的余地要归与王. 供地东边, 南北二万五千肘, 东至东界, 西边南北二万五千肘, 西至西界, 与各分之地相同, 都要归王. 圣供地和殿的圣地要在其中,

48:22 And also the property of the Levites and the property of the city will be in the midst of the property which is for the prince; between the territory of Judah and between the territory of Benjamin the land will be for the prince.
并且利未人之地, 与归城之地的东西两边延长之地(这两地在王地中间), 就是在犹大和便雅悯两界中间, 要归与王.

48:23 And for the remainder of the tribes: From the side on the east up to the side on the west, Benjamin one portion;
论到其余的支派, 从东到西, 是便雅悯的一分.

挨着以萨迦的地界, 从东到西, 是西布伦的一分.

48:27 and next to the territory of Zebulun, from the side of the east up to the side of the sea, Gad one portion;

48:28 and next to the territory of Gad, to the side of the south, southward; and the territory will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, toward the wadi, on to the Great Sea.
迦得地的南界是从他玛到米利巴‧加低斯的水, 延到埃及小河, 直到大海.

48:29 This is the land that you shall allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions,” declares the Lord Yahweh.
这就是你们要拈阄分给以色列支派为业之地, 乃是他们各支派所得之分. 这是主耶和华说的.

48:30 And these shall be the exits of the city: From the north side, four thousand and five hundred cubits by measurement.
城的北面四千五百肘. 出城之处如下;

48:31 And the gates of the city shall be according to the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates to the north, the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.
城的各门要按以色列支派的名字. 北面有三门, 一为流便门, 一为犹大门, 一为利未门;

西面四千五百肘, 有三门, 一为迦得门, 一为亚设门, 一为拿弗他利门.

48:35 All around the city is eighteen thousand cubits, and the name of the city from that day is “Yahweh Is There”!
城四围共一万八千肘. 从此以后, 这城的名字必称为耶和华的所在.

Daniel (但以理书)

Daniel - Chapter 1

1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
犹大王约雅敬在位第三年, 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来到耶路撒冷, 将城围困.

1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim the king of Judah into his hand and some of of the utensils of the temple of God, and he brought them to the land of Shinar to the temple of his gods, and he brought the utensils to the treasury of his gods.
主将犹大王约雅敬, 并神殿中器皿的几分交付他手. 他就把这器皿带到示拿地, 收入他神的庙里, 放在他神的库中.

1:3 And the king ordered Ashpenaz, the commander of his court officials, to bring some of the Israelites from the royal family and from the lords,
王吩咐太监长亚施毘拿, 从以色列人的宗室和贵冑中带进几个人来,

1:4 youths who have no physical defect, and who are handsome, and who are prudent in all wisdom and endowed with knowledge, and who understand insight, and who have the ability in them to serve in the palace of the king. And the king ordered him to teach them the literature and the language of the Chaldeans.
就是年少没有残疾,相貌俊美,通达各样学问,知识聪明俱备,足能侍立在王宫里的, 要教他们迦勒底的文字言语.

1:5 And the king assigned to them his daily portion from the fine food of the king, and from the wine that he drank, and instructed that they were to be educated for three years. And at the end of their training, they were to be stationed before the king.
王派定将自己所用的膳和所饮的酒, 每日赐他们一分, 养他们三年. 满了三年, 好叫他们在王面前侍立.

1:6 Now there was among them from the Judeans, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
他们中间有犹大族的人: 但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅.

1:7 And the commander of the court officials gave them names, and he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego.
太监长给他们起名: 称但以理为伯提沙撒, 称哈拿尼雅为沙得拉, 称米沙利为米煞, 称亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌.

1:8 Now Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the fine food of the king, and with the wine that he drank, and so he requested from the commander of the court officials permission so that he would not defile himself.
但以理却立志不以王的膳和王所饮的酒玷污自己, 所以求太监长容他不玷污自己.

1:9 And God gave Daniel favor and compassion before the commander of the court officials,
神使但以理在太监长眼前蒙恩惠, 受怜悯.

1:10 and the commander of the court officials said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord, the king, who has determined your food and your drink, for why should he see your face having a worse appearance than the young men who are your age? Then you will endanger my head with the king.”
太监长对但以理说: “我惧怕我主我王, 他已经派定你们的饮食; 倘若他见你们的面貌比你们同岁的少年人肌瘦, 怎么好呢? 这样, 你们就使我的头在王那里难保. ”

1:11 Then Daniel asked the guard whom the commander of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
但以理对太监长所派管理但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅的委办说:

1:12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us some of the vegetables, and let us eat and let us drink water.
“求你试试仆人们十天, 给我们素菜吃, 白水喝,

1:13 Then let our appearances and the appearance of the young men who are eating the fine food of the king be compared before you, and then deal with your servants according to what you see.”
然后看看我们的面貌和用王膳那少年人的面貌, 就照你所看的待仆人吧! ”

1:14 So he agreed to this proposal with them, and he tested them for ten days.
委办便允准他们这件事, 试看他们十天.

1:15 And at the end of ten days their appearances appeared better and they were healthier of body than all the young men who were eating the fine food of the king.
过了十天, 见他们的面貌比用王膳的一切少年人更加俊美肥胖.

1:16 So the guard continued to withhold their fine food and the wine of their drink, and he gave them vegetables.
于是委办撤去派他们用的膳, 饮的酒, 给他们素菜吃.

1:17 And as for these four young men, God gave to them knowledge and insight into all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had insight into all visions and dreams.
这四个少年人, 神在各样文字学问(学问: 原文是智慧)上赐给他们聪明知识; 但以理又明白各样的异象和梦兆.

1:18 And at the end of the time the king had set to bring them, the commander of the court officials brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
尼布甲尼撒王预定带进少年人来的日期满了, 太监长就把他们带到王面前.

1:19 And the king spoke with them, and among all of them no one was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; then they stood before the king.
王与他们谈论, 见少年人中无一人能比但以理,哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅, 所以留他们在王面前侍立.

1:20 And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired from them, he found them ten times better than all of the magicians and conjurers that were in his entire kingdom.
王考问他们一切事, 就见他们的智慧聪明比通国的术士和用法术的胜过十倍.

1:21 And Daniel was there until the first year of Cyrus the king.
到古列王元年, 但以理还在.

Daniel - Chapter 2

2:1 Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.
尼布甲尼撒在位第二年, 他做了梦, 心里烦乱, 不能睡觉.

2:2 So the king said to call the magicians and the conjurers and the sorcerers and the astrologers to tell to the king his dreams. And they came in and they stood before the king.
王吩咐人将术士,用法术的,行邪术的, 和迦勒底人召来, 要他们将王的梦告诉王, 他们就来站在王前.

2:3 And the king said to them, “I have had a dream and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.”
王对他们说: “我做了一梦, 心里烦乱, 要知道这是甚么梦. ”

2:4 And the astrologers said to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell the dream to your servants and we will reveal the explanation.”
迦勒底人用亚兰的言语对王说: “愿王万岁! 请将那梦告诉仆人, 仆人就可以讲解. ”

2:5 The king answered and said to the astrologers, “The command from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its explanation, then you will be broken into pieces and your houses will be laid in ruins.
王回答迦勒底人说: “梦我已经忘了(或译: 我已定命; 八节同), 你们若不将梦和梦的讲解告诉我, 就必被凌迟, 你们的房屋必成为粪堆;

2:6 But if you tell me the dream and its explanation, you will receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore, tell me the dream and its explanation.”
你们若将梦和梦的讲解告诉我, 就必从我这里得赠品和赏赐, 并大尊荣. 现在你们要将梦和梦的讲解告诉我. ”

2:7 They answered once more and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants and we will make the explanation known.”
他们第二次对王说: “请王将梦告诉仆人, 仆人就可以讲解. ”

2:8 The king answered and said, “Certainly I know that you are trying to gain time because you have seen that this matter is firmly decreed by me,
王回答说: “我准知道你们是故意迟延, 因为你们知道那梦我已经忘了.

2:9 for if you do not make the dream known to me, your verdict is fixed, and you have conspired to say a lying and deceitful word to me until the circumstances will change. Therefore, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can tell me its explanation.”
你们若不将梦告诉我, 只有一法待你们; 因为你们预备了谎言乱语向我说, 要等候时势改变. 现在你们要将梦告诉我, 因我知道你们能将梦的讲解告诉我. ”

2:10 The astrologers answered the king and said, “There is not a man on earth that is able to reveal the word of the king; in fact, no great and powerful king has ever asked a thing like this of any magician or conjurer or astrologer.
迦勒底人在王面前回答说: “世上没有人能将王所问的事说出来; 因为没有君王,大臣,掌权的向术士, 或用法术的, 或迦勒底人问过这样的事.

2:11 And the thing that the king is asking is too difficult and there is no one who can reveal it to the king except the gods whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
王所问的事甚难. 除了不与世人同居的神明, 没有人在王面前能说出来. ”

2:12 Because of this the king became angry, and he became very much enraged, and he said that all the wise men of Babylon are to be destroyed.
因此, 王气忿忿地大发烈怒, 吩咐灭绝巴比伦所有的哲士.

2:13 And the decree was issued, and the wise men were on the verge of being executed, and they searched for Daniel and his companions to be executed.
于是命令发出, 哲士将要见杀, 人就寻找但以理和他的同伴, 要杀他们.

2:14 Then Daniel responded prudently and discretely to Arioch, the commander of the imperial guard of the king, who had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon.
王的护卫长亚略出来, 要杀巴比伦的哲士, 但以理就用婉言回答他,

2:15 He asked and said to Arioch, the royal official of the king, “Why is the decree from the king so severe?” Then Arioch explained the matter to Daniel.
向王的护卫长亚略说: “王的命令为何这样紧急呢? ”亚略就将情节告诉但以理.

2:16 And Daniel went in and requested from the king that he would give him time, and he would tell the king the explanation.
但以理遂进去求王宽限, 就可以将梦的讲解告诉王.

2:17 Then Daniel went to his home, and he made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, his companions,
但以理回到他的居所, 将这事告诉他的同伴哈拿尼雅,米沙利,亚撒利雅,

2:18 and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions, along with the remainder of the wise men of Babylon, would not be killed.
要他们祈求天上的神施怜悯, 将这奥祕的事指明, 免得但以理和他的同伴与巴比伦其余的哲士一同灭亡.

2:19 Then in a vision of the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel; then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
这奥祕的事就在夜间异象中给但以理显明, 但以理便称颂天上的神.

2:20 Daniel said: “Let his name, the name of God, be blessed throughout the ages, for the wisdom and the power are his.
但以理说: “神的名是应当称颂的! 从亘古直到永远, 因为智慧能力都属乎他.

2:21 And he changes the times and the seasons, and he deposes kings and he sets up kings; he gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men who know understanding.
他改变时候,日期, 废王, 立王, 将智慧赐与智慧人, 将知识赐与聪明人.

2:22 He reveals the deep and the hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
他显明深奥隐祕的事, 知道暗中所有的, 光明也与他同居.

2:23 To you, O God of my ancestors, I give thanks and I give praises, for the wisdom and the power you gave to me, and now you have made known to me what we have asked from you, for you have made known to us the matter of the king.”
我列祖的神啊, 我感谢你, 赞美你, 因你将智慧才能赐给我, 允准我们所求的, 把王的事给我们指明. ”

2:24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and thus he said to him: “You must not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me in before the king and I will give the explanation to the king.”
于是, 但以理进去见亚略, 就是王所派灭绝巴比伦哲士的, 对他说: “不要灭绝巴比伦的哲士, 求你领我到王面前, 我要将梦的讲解告诉王. ”

2:25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel in before the king and thus he said to him: “I have found a man among the exiles of Judah who can relate the explanation to the king.
亚略就急忙将但以理领到王面前, 对王说: “我在被掳的犹大人中遇见一人, 他能将梦的讲解告诉王. ”

2:26 The king then asked and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its explanation?”
王问称为伯提沙撒的但以理说: “你能将我所做的梦和梦的讲解告诉我吗? ”

2:27 Daniel answered the king and said, “The mystery that the king asks, no wise men, conjurers, magicians, or diviners are able to make known to the king.
但以理在王面前回答说: “王所问的那奥祕事, 哲士,用法术的,术士,观兆的都不能告诉王;

2:28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what it is that will be at the end of days. This is your dream and the visions of your head on your bed.
只有一位在天上的神能显明奥祕的事. 他已将日后必有的事指示尼布甲尼撒王. 你的梦和你在床上脑中的异象是这样:

2:29 “As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed turned to what it was that would be in the future, and the revealer of mysteries has made known to you what that would be.
王啊, 你在床上想到后来的事, 那显明奥祕事的主把将来必有的事指示你.

2:30 And as for me, it is not because of wisdom that is in me more than any other living person that this mystery is revealed to me, but in order that the explanation may be made known to the king and you will understand the thoughts of your mind.
至于那奥祕的事显明给我, 并非因我的智慧胜过一切活人, 乃为使王知道梦的讲解和心里的思念.

2:31 “You, O king, were looking and, look, there was one great statue. This statue was huge and its brilliance extraordinary, standing there before you, and its appearance was frightening.
“王啊, 你梦见一个大像, 这像甚高, 极其光耀, 站在你面前, 形状甚是可怕.

2:32 The head of this statue was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
这像的头是精金的, 胸膛和膀臂是银的, 肚腹和腰是铜的,

2:33 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron and part of them of clay.
腿是铁的, 脚是半铁半泥的.

2:34 You were looking on until a stone was chiseled out—that not by hands—and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it broke them in pieces.
你观看, 见有一块非人手凿出来的石头打在这像半铁半泥的脚上, 把脚砸碎;

2:35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold all at once broke into pieces and they became like chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away and any trace of them could not be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and it filled the whole earth.
于是金,银,铜,铁,泥都一同砸得粉碎, 成如夏天禾场上的糠秕, 被风吹散, 无处可寻. 打碎这像的石头变成一座大山, 充满天下.

2:36 “This was the dream, and now we will tell its interpretation to the king.
“这就是那梦. 我们在王面前要讲解那梦.

2:37 You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power and the might and the glory,
王啊, 你是诸王之王. 天上的神已将国度,权柄,能力,尊荣都赐给你.

2:38 and also human beings wherever they dwell, the animals of the field and the birds of heaven—he has given into your hand and made you ruler over all of them—you are the head of gold.
凡世人所住之地的走兽, 并天空的飞鸟, 他都交付你手, 使你掌管这一切. 你就是那金头.

2:39 And after you another kingdom inferior to yours will arise, and another third kingdom of bronze that will rule over the whole earth.
在你以后必另兴一国, 不及于你; 又有第三国, 就是铜的, 必掌管天下.

2:40 And a fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, and just as iron crushes and smashes everything, and as iron shatters all of these other metals, so it will crush and it will shatter these nations.
第四国, 必坚壮如铁, 铁能打碎克制百物, 又能压碎一切, 那国也必打碎压制列国.

2:41 And just as you saw the feet and the toes, partly potter’s clay and partly iron, it will be a divided kingdom; and some hardness of the iron will be in it, just as you have seen the iron mixed with the wet clay.
你既见像的脚和脚指头, 一半是窑匠的泥, 一半是铁, 那国将来也必分开. 你既见铁与泥搀杂, 那国也必有铁的力量.

2:42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so part of the kingdom will be strong and partly brittle.
那脚指头, 既是半铁半泥, 那国也必半强半弱.

2:43 And in that you saw the iron was mixed with wet clay, so they will mix in marriage and they will not cling to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
你既见铁与泥搀杂, 那国民也必与各种人搀杂, 却不能彼此相合, 正如铁与泥不能相合一样.

2:44 And in the day of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and the kingdom will not be left for another nation, and it will bring an end to all these kingdoms, but it will stand forever.
当那列王在位的时候, 天上的神必另立一国, 永不败坏, 也不归别国的人, 却要打碎灭绝那一切国, 这国必存到永远.

2:45 Inasmuch as you saw that a stone from the mountain was chiseled out but not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, thereby the great God made known to the king what will be in the future, and the dream is certain and its explanation trustworthy.”
你既看见非人手凿出来的一块石头从山而出, 打碎金,银,铜,铁,泥, 那就是至大的神把后来必有的事给王指明. 这梦准是这样, 这讲解也是确实的. ”

2:46 Then the king, Nebuchadnezzar, fell on his face and he paid homage to Daniel; and he commanded them to offer a grain offering and incense offering to him.
当时, 尼布甲尼撒王俯伏在地, 向但以理下拜, 并且吩咐人给他奉上供物和香品.

2:47 The king answered Daniel and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings, and he reveals mysteries, for you are able to reveal this mystery.”
王对但以理说: 你既能显明这奥祕的事, 你们的神诚然是万神之神,万王之主, 又是显明奥祕事的. ”

2:48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and the chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.
于是王高抬但以理, 赏赐他许多上等礼物, 派他管理巴比伦全省, 又立他为总理, 掌管巴比伦的一切哲士.

2:49 And Daniel made a request from the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the court of the king.
但以理求王, 王就派沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌管理巴比伦省的事务, 只是但以理常在朝中侍立.

Daniel - Chapter 3

3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made a statue of gold. Its height was sixty cubits and its width was six cubits; he set it up in the valley of Dura in the province of Babylon.
尼布甲尼撒王造了一个金像, 高六十肘, 宽六肘, 立在巴比伦省杜拉平原.

3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent directions to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all of the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
尼布甲尼撒王差人将总督,钦差,巡抚,臬司,藩司,谋士,法官, 和各省的官员都召了来, 为尼布甲尼撒王所立的像行开光之礼.

3:3 Then the satraps, the prefects, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the province were assembled for the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up, and were standing before the statue that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
于是总督,钦差,巡抚,臬司,藩司,谋士,法官, 和各省的官员都聚集了来, 要为尼布甲尼撒王所立的像行开光之礼, 就站在尼布甲尼撒所立的像前.

3:4 Then the herald proclaimed aloud, “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations and people of all languages,
那时传令的大声呼叫说: “各方,各国,各族(原文是舌: 下同)的人哪, 有令传与你们:

3:5 that at the time that you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp, the drum and all kinds of music, you must fall down and you must worship the statue of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
你们一听见角,笛,琵琶,琴,瑟,笙, 和各样乐器的声音, 就当俯伏敬拜尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像.

3:6 And whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown immediately into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.”
凡不俯伏敬拜的, 必立时扔在烈火的窑中. ”

3:7 Therefore, at that time, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations and people of all languages were falling down and were worshiping the statue of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
因此各方,各国,各族的人民一听见角,笛,琵琶,琴,瑟, 和各样乐器的声音, 就都俯伏敬拜尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像.

3:8 Therefore at this time some astrologers came forward and they denounced the Jews.
那时, 有几个迦勒底人进前来控告犹大人.

3:9 They responded and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, may you live forever!
他们对尼布甲尼撒王说: “愿王万岁!

3:10 You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp and the drum and all kinds of music, he shall fall down and shall worship the statue of gold.
王啊, 你曾降旨说, 凡听见角,笛,琵琶,琴,瑟,笙, 和各样乐器声音的都当俯伏敬拜金像.

3:11 And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.
凡不俯伏敬拜的, 必扔在烈火的窑中.

3:12 However there are Judean men whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—these men, O king, pay you no heed and were not serving your god, and the statue of gold that you set up they are not worshiping.”
现在有几个犹大人, 就是王所派管理巴比伦省事务的沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌; 王啊, 这些人不理你, 不事奉你的神, 也不敬拜你所立的金像. ”

3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar said in rage and anger to bring in Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; then they brought in these men before the king.
当时, 尼布甲尼撒冲冲大怒, 吩咐人把沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌带过来, 他们就把那些人带到王面前.

3:14 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you are not serving my god, and you are not worshiping the statue of gold that I have set up?
尼布甲尼撒问他们说: “沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌, 你们不事奉我的神, 也不敬拜我所立的金像, 是故意的吗?

3:15 Now if you are ready so that when you hear the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, the trigon, the harp and the drum and all kinds of music, you fall down and you worship the statue that I have made, that will be good. But if you do not worship it, immediately you will be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire, and who is the god who will rescue you from my hands?”
你们再听见角,笛,琵琶,琴,瑟,笙, 和各样乐器的声音, 若俯伏敬拜我所造的像, 却还可以; 若不敬拜, 必立时扔在烈火的窑中, 有何神能救你们脱离我手呢? ”

3:16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king, Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need on this matter to present a defense to you.
沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌对王说: “尼布甲尼撒啊, 这件事我们不必回答你;

3:17 If it is so, our God, whom we serve, is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire. And from your hand, O king, let him rescue us.
即便如此, 我们所事奉的神能将我们从烈火的窑中救出来. 王啊, 他也必救我们脱离你的手;

3:18 And if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, and the statue of gold that you have set up we will not worship.”
即或不然, 王啊, 你当知道我们决不事奉你的神, 也不敬拜你所立的金像. ”

3:19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with anger and the image of his face was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, so he ordered and said to heat up the one furnace seven times what was usual to heat it up.
当时, 尼布甲尼撒怒气填胸, 向沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌变了脸色, 吩咐人把窑烧热, 比寻常更加七倍;

3:20 And he commanded the strongest men of the guards who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire.
又吩咐他军中的几个壮士, 将沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌捆起来, 扔在烈火的窑中.

3:21 Then these men were bound with their garments, their trousers and their turbans and their other clothing, and they were thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.
这三人穿着裤子,内袍,外衣, 和别的衣服, 被捆起来扔在烈火的窑中.

3:22 Therefore because the word of the king was severe and the furnace was exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed these men who lifted up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
因为王命紧急, 窑又甚热, 那抬沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌的人都被火焰烧死.

3:23 But these men, the three of them, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, fell down into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire, and they were bound.
沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌这三个人都被捆着落在烈火的窑中.

3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and he rose up in haste and he asked, saying to his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, bound, into the midst of the fire? They answered, saying to the king, “Certainly, O king!”
那时, 尼布甲尼撒王惊奇, 急忙起来, 对谋士说: “我捆起来扔在火里的不是三个人吗? ”他们回答王说: “王啊, 是. ”

3:25 He answered, saying, “Look, I see four men unbound walking in the midst of the fire and there is no damage to them, and the appearance of the fourth man resembles the son of a god.”
王说: “看哪, 我见有四个人, 并没有捆绑, 在火中游行, 也没有受伤; 那第四个的相貌好像神子. ”

3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the furnace of blazing fire, and he called out, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out and come here!”
于是, 尼布甲尼撒就近烈火窑门, 说: “至高神的仆人沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌出来, 上这里来吧! ”沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌就从火中出来了.

3:27 And the satraps, the prefects, the governors and the advisors of the king were assembling, and they saw these men, that the fire had no power over their bodies, and the hair of their heads was not singed, and their garments were not harmed, and the smell of fire did not come from them.
那些总督,钦差,巡抚, 和王的谋士一同聚集看这三个人, 见火无力伤他们的身体, 头发也没有烧焦, 衣裳也没有变色, 并没有火燎的气味.

3:28 Nebuchadnezzar responded, saying, “Blessed be their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who trusted in him, and the command of the king they disobeyed, and they gave their bodies so that they did not serve and did not worship any god except their God.
尼布甲尼撒说: “沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌的神是应当称颂的! 他差遣使者救护倚靠他的仆人, 他们不遵王命, 舍去己身, 在他们神以外不肯事奉敬拜别神.

3:29 And from me is set forth a decree that any people, nation, or language that may utter criticism against their God—the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—will be broken into pieces and their house will be made like ruins. For there is not another God who is able to rescue like this God.”
现在我降旨, 无论何方,何国,何族的人, 谤讟沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌之神的, 必被凌迟, 他的房屋必成粪堆, 因为没有别神能这样施行拯救. ”

3:30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
那时王在巴比伦省, 高升了沙得拉,米煞,亚伯尼歌.

Daniel - Chapter 4

4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king to all of the nations, the peoples and languages that live in the whole earth: “May your prosperity increase!
尼布甲尼撒王晓谕住在全地各方,各国,各族的人说: “愿你们大享平安!

4:2 It is pleasing to me to recount the signs and wonders that the Most High God worked for me.
我乐意将至高的神向我所行的神蹟奇事宣扬出来.

4:3 How great are his signs and wonders, how strong is his kingdom, an everlasting kingdom; and his sovereignty is from generation to generation.
他的神蹟何其大! 他的奇事何其盛! 他的国是永远的; 他的权柄存到万代!

4:4 “I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace.
“我尼布甲尼撒安居在宫中, 平顺在殿内.

4:5 And I saw a dream and a revelation on my bed and it frightened me, and the visions of my head terrified me.
我做了一梦, 使我惧怕. 我在床上的思念, 并脑中的异象, 使我惊惶.

4:6 And a decree was sent out, ordering that all the wise men of Babylon were to be brought in before me so that they may make known to me the explanation of the dream.
所以我降旨召巴比伦的一切哲士到我面前, 叫他们把梦的讲解告诉我.

4:7 Then the magicians, the conjurers, the astrologers and the diviners came in and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its explanation.
于是那些术士,用法术的,迦勒底人,观兆的都进来, 我将那梦告诉了他们, 他们却不能把梦的讲解告诉我.

4:8 Then at last Daniel came before me whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom was the spirit of the holy gods, and I related the dream to him.
末后那照我神的名, 称为伯提沙撒的但以理来到我面前, 他里头有圣神的灵, 我将梦告诉他说:

4:9 “ ‘O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I myself know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Now tell me the visions of my dream that I saw, and its explanation.
‘术士的领袖伯提沙撒啊, 因我知道你里头有圣神的灵, 甚么奥祕的事都不能使你为难. 现在要把我梦中所见的异象和梦的讲解告诉我. ’

4:10 Now these were the visions of my head as I was lying on my bed: I was gazing and, look, a tree was in the midst of the earth, and its height was exalted.
“我在床上脑中的异象是这样: 我看见地当中有一棵树, 极其高大.

4:11 The tree grew and it became strong, and its height reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
那树渐长, 而且坚固, 高得顶天, 从地极都能看见,

4:12 Its foliage was beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was provision for all. Under it the animals of the field sought shade, and in its branches the birds of heaven nested, and from it all the living beings were fed.
叶子华美, 果子甚多, 可作众生的食物; 田野的走兽卧在荫下, 天空的飞鸟宿在枝上; 凡有血气的都从这树得食.

4:13 “ ‘I was looking in the vision of my head as I lay on my bed, and look, a watcher, and a holy one, came down from heaven.
“我在床上脑中的异象, 见有一位守望的圣者从天而降.

4:14 He cried aloud and so he said: “Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.
大声呼叫说: ‘伐倒这树! 砍下枝子! 摇掉叶子! 抛散果子! 使走兽离开树下, 飞鸟躲开树枝.

4:15 But the stump of its roots leave in the earth, along with a band of iron and bronze; leave it in the grass of the field. And in the dew of heaven let it be watered, and with the animals let his lot be in the grass of the earth.
树墩却要留在地内, 用铁圈和铜圈箍住, 在田野的青草中让天露滴湿, 使他与地上的兽一同吃草,

4:16 Let his mind be changed from that of a human, and let the mind of an animal be given to him, and let seven times pass over him.
使他的心改变, 不如人心; 给他一个兽心, 使他经过七期(期: 或译年; 本章同).

4:17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the command of the holy ones, in order that the living will know that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and to whomever he wills he gives it, and he even sets the humblest of men over it.”
这是守望者所发的命, 圣者所出的令, 好叫世人知道至高者在人的国中掌权, 要将国赐与谁就赐与谁, 或立极卑微的人执掌国权. ’

4:18 “ ‘This is the dream that I, Nebuchadnezzar the king, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its explanation, for all of the wise men of my kingdom were not able to make the explanation known to me, but you are able because the spirit of holy gods is in you.’
“这是我─尼布甲尼撒王所做的梦. 伯提沙撒啊, 你要说明这梦的讲解; 因为我国中的一切哲士都不能将梦的讲解告诉我, 惟独你能, 因你里头有圣神的灵. ”

4:19 “Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was distressed for some time, and his thoughts disturbed him. The king answered and he said, ‘Belteshazzar, let the dream and its explanation not disturb you.’ Belteshazzar answered and said, ‘My lord, may the dream and its explanation be for those who hate you and for your enemies.
于是称为伯提沙撒的但以理惊讶片时, 心意惊惶. 王说: “伯提沙撒啊, 不要因梦和梦的讲解惊惶. ”伯提沙撒回答说: “我主啊, 愿这梦归与恨恶你的人, 讲解归与你的敌人.

4:20 The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong and its height reached to heaven and it was visible to the end of the whole earth,
你所见的树渐长, 而且坚固, 高得顶天, 从地极都能看见;

4:21 and its foliage was beautiful and its fruit abundant, and so there was provision for all in it, and the animals of the field lived under it and in its branches nest the birds of heaven,
叶子华美, 果子甚多, 可作众生的食物; 田野的走兽住在其下; 天空的飞鸟宿在枝上.

4:22 —it is you, O king, who have grown great and you have grown strong, and so your greatness has increased and it has reached to heaven and your sovereignty to the end of the earth.
“王啊, 这渐长又坚固的树就是你. 你的威势渐长及天, 你的权柄管到地极.

4:23 And inasmuch that the king saw the watcher, a holy one coming down from heaven and he said, “Cut down the tree and destroy it, but the stump of its root in the earth leave with a band of iron and bronze in the grass of the field, and let it be watered with the dew of heaven and let his lot be with the animals of the field until seven times have passed over him.”
王既看见一位守望的圣者从天而降, 说: ‘将这树砍伐毁坏, 树墩却要留在地内, 用铁圈和铜圈箍住; 在田野的青草中, 让天露滴湿, 使他与地上的兽一同吃草, 直到经过七期. ’

4:24 This is the explanation, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High that has come upon my lord the king:
“王啊, 讲解就是这样: 临到我主我王的事是出于至高者的命.

4:25 you will be driven away from human society and you will dwell with the animals of the field, and you will be caused to graze grass like the oxen yourself, and you will be watered with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time will pass over you until that you have acknowledged that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and to whom he wills he gives it.
你必被赶出离开世人, 与野地的兽同居, 吃草如牛, 被天露滴湿, 且要经过七期. 等你知道至高者在人的国中掌权, 要将国赐与谁就赐与谁.

4:26 And in that they said to leave alone the stump of the tree’s root, so your kingdom will be restored for you when you acknowledge that heaven is sovereign.
守望者既吩咐存留树墩, 等你知道诸天掌权, 以后你的国必定归你.

4:27 Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you and your sin remove with righteousness and your iniquity with having mercy on the oppressed, in case there might be a prolongation of your prosperity.’ ”
王啊, 求你悦纳我的谏言, 以施行公义断绝罪过, 以怜悯穷人除掉罪孽, 或者你的平安可以延长. ”

4:28 All this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king.
这事都临到尼布甲尼撒王.

4:29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon.
过了十二个月, 他游行在巴比伦王宫里(原文是上).

4:30 And the king answered and said, “Is this not the great Babylon which I have built as a royal palace by the strength of my own power, and for the glory of my own majesty?”
他说: “这大巴比伦不是我用大能大力建为京都, 要显我威严的荣耀吗? ”

4:31 While the words were still in the mouth of the king, a voice from heaven came, saying, ‘To you, King Nebuchadnezzar, it is declared that the kingdom has departed from you,
这话在王口中尚未说完, 有声音从天降下, 说: “尼布甲尼撒王啊, 有话对你说, 你的国位离开你了.

4:32 and you will be driven away from human society and your dwelling will be with the animals of the field and they will cause you to graze the grass like oxen, and seven times will pass over you, until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind and that he gives it to whom he wills.’
你必被赶出离开世人, 与野地的兽同居, 吃草如牛, 且要经过七期. 等你知道至高者在人的国中掌权, 要将国赐与谁就赐与谁. ”

4:33 Immediately the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar, and he was expelled from human society and he ate grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven until his hair was like the hair of an eagle and his nails grew like a bird’s claws.
当时这话就应验在尼布甲尼撒的身上, 他被赶出离开世人, 吃草如牛, 身被天露滴湿, 头发长长, 好像鹰毛; 指甲长长, 如同鸟爪.

4:34 “But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and then my reason returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and the one who lives forever I praised and I honored. “For his sovereignty is an everlasting sovereignty, and his kingdom continues from generation to generation.
日子满足, 我─尼布甲尼撒举目望天, 我的聪明复归于我, 我便称颂至高者, 赞美尊敬活到永远的神. 他的权柄是永有的; 他的国存到万代.

4:35 And all the dwellers of the earth are regarded as nothing, and he does according to his desire in the host of heaven and among the dwellers of earth, and there is not one who can hold back his hand, or ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
世上所有的居民都算为虚无; 在天上的万军和世上的居民中, 他都凭自己的意旨行事. 无人能拦住他手, 或问他说, 你做甚么呢?

4:36 “At that time my reason returned to me, and also the glory of my kingdom and my majesty and splendor returned to me, and my advisers and my lords searched me out, and I was established over my kingdom and abundant greatness was added to me.
那时, 我的聪明复归于我, 为我国的荣耀,威严, 和光耀也都复归于我; 并且我的谋士和大臣也来朝见我. 我又得坚立在国位上, 至大的权柄加增于我.

4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor the king of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice and that he is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
现在我─尼布甲尼撒赞美,尊崇,恭敬天上的王; 因为他所做的全都诚实, 他所行的也都公平. 那行动骄傲的, 他能降为卑.

Daniel - Chapter 5

5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great festival for a thousand of his lords, and in the presence of the thousand lords he was drinking wine.
伯沙撒王为他的一千大臣设摆盛筵, 与这一千人对面饮酒.

5:2 When he tasted the wine, Belshazzar commanded that they bring the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his predecessor had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines may drink from them.
伯沙撒欢饮之间, 吩咐人将他父(或译: 祖; 下同)尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷殿中所掠的金银器皿拿来, 王与大臣,皇后,妃嫔好用这器皿饮酒.

5:3 Then they brought in the vessels of gold that they took from the temple, the house of God that was in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines drank from them.
于是他们把耶路撒冷神殿库房中所掠的金器皿拿来, 王和大臣,皇后,妃嫔就用这器皿饮酒.

5:4 They drank the wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.
他们饮酒, 赞美金,银,铜,铁,木,石所造的神.

5:5 Immediately human fingers appeared and they wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king, and the king was watching the palm of the hand that was writing.
当时, 忽有人的指头显出, 在王宫与灯台相对的粉墙上写字. 王看见写字的指头

5:6 Then his face changed and his thoughts terrified him, and his hip joints gave way and his knees knocked together.
就变了脸色, 心意惊惶, 腰骨好像脱节, 双膝彼此相碰,

5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the conjurers, the astrologers and the diviners; the king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Any man that can read this writing and can tell me its explanation will be clothed in purple and will have a necklace of gold hung around his neck and he will rule as third in authority in the kingdom.”
大声吩咐将用法术的和迦勒底人并观兆的领进来, 对巴比伦的哲士说, 谁能读这文字, 把讲解告诉我, 他必身穿紫袍, 项带金炼, 在我国中位列第三.

5:8 Then all the wise men of the king came in, but they were not able to read the writing or to make known its explanation.
于是王的一切哲士都进来, 却不能读那文字, 也不能把讲解告诉王.

5:9 Then the king, Belshazzar, became greatly terrified, and his facial features changed upon him, and his lords were perplexed.
伯沙撒王就甚惊惶, 脸色改变, 他的大臣也都惊奇.

5:10 Because of the words of the king and his lords, the queen came into the banqueting hall and the queen spoke up and said, “O king, live forever, and let not your thoughts terrify you and do not let your facial expressions grow pale.
太后(或译: 皇后; 下同)因王和他大臣所说的话, 就进入宴宫, 说: “愿王万岁! 你心意不要惊惶, 脸面不要变色.

5:11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. And in the days of your predecessor, enlightenment and insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and, O king, Nebuchadnezzar your predecessor appointed him as chief of the magicians, the conjurers, the astrologers, and the diviners. Your predecessor the king did this
在你国中有一人, 他里头有圣神的灵, 你父在世的日子, 这人心中光明, 又有聪明智慧, 好像神的智慧. 你父尼布甲尼撒王, 就是王的父, 立他为术士,用法术的, 和迦勒底人, 并观兆的领袖.

5:12 because there was found in him an excellent spirit and understanding and insight for interpreting dreams and explaining riddles and solving riddles; that is, in Daniel whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now, let Daniel be called and he will tell the explanation.”
在他里头有美好的灵性, 又有知识聪明, 能圆梦, 释谜语, 解疑惑. 这人名叫但以理, 尼布甲尼撒王又称他为伯提沙撒, 现在可以召他来, 他必解明这意思. ”

5:13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king, and the king spoke and said to Daniel, “You are Daniel who are one of the exiles of Judah whom my predecessor, the king, brought from Judah.
但以理就被领到王前. 王问但以理说: “你是被掳之犹大人中的但以理吗? 就是我父王从犹大掳来的吗?

5:14 And I have heard that a spirit of the gods is in you and enlightenment and insight and excellent wisdom was found in you.
我听说你里头有神的灵, 心中光明, 又有聪明和美好的智慧.

5:15 And now the wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me so that they could read this writing in order to make its explanation known to me, but they were not able to disclose the explanation of the matter.
现在哲士和用法术的都领到我面前, 为叫他们读这文字, 把讲解告诉我, 无奈他们都不能把讲解说出来.

5:16 But I have heard concerning you that you are able to produce interpretations and to solve riddles; now if you are able to read the writing and to make known its explanation to me, you will be clothed in purple and a necklace of gold will be placed around your neck and you will rule as third in command in the kingdom.”
我听说你善于讲解, 能解疑惑; 现在你若能读这文字, 把讲解告诉我, 就必身穿紫袍, 项戴金炼, 在我国中位列第三. ”

5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself or your rewards give to another; nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king and I will make known to him the explanation.
但以理在王面前回答说: “你的赠品可以归你自己, 你的赏赐可以归给别人; 我却要为王读这文字, 把讲解告诉王.

5:18 O king, the Most High God gave the kingdom and the greatness and the glory and the majesty to Nebuchadnezzar your predecessor.
王啊, 至高的神曾将国位,大权,荣耀,威严赐与你父尼布甲尼撒;

5:19 And because of the greatness that he gave to him, all the peoples, the nations and languages trembled and feared before him; whomever he wanted he killed, and whomever he wanted he let live, and whomever he wanted he honored, and whomever he wanted he humbled.
因神所赐他的大权, 各方,各国,各族的人都在他面前战兢恐惧. 他可以随意生杀, 随意升降.

5:20 But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit became hard so as to act proudly, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and the glory was taken away from him.
但他心高气傲, 灵也刚愎, 甚至行事狂傲, 就被革去王位, 夺去荣耀.

5:21 And he was driven away from human society and his mind was made like the animals and his dwelling was with the wild asses; and he was given grass like oxen to eat, and with the dew of heaven his body was bathed, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdom of humankind, and whoever he wants he sets over it.
他被赶出离开世人, 他的心变如兽心, 与野驴同居, 吃草如牛, 身被天露滴湿, 等他知道至高的神在人的国中掌权, 凭自己的意旨立人治国.

5:22 “But you his successor, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart even though you knew all this.
伯沙撒啊, 你是他的儿子(或译: 孙子), 你虽知道这一切, 你心仍不自卑,

5:23 And now you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven, and the vessels of his temple you have brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have been drinking wine from them, and you have praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone that do not see and do not hear and do not know, but the God who holds your life in his hand and all of your ways come from him, you have not honored.
竟向天上的主自高, 使人将他殿中的器皿拿到你面前, 你和大臣,皇后,妃嫔用这器皿饮酒. 你又赞美那不能看,不能听,无知无识,金,银,铜,铁,木,石所造的神, 却没有将荣耀归与那手中有你气息, 管理你一切行动的神.

5:24 So then the palm of the hand was sent out from his presence and this writing was inscribed.
因此从神那里显出指头来写这文字.

5:25 “Now this was the writing that was inscribed: ‘Mene, Mene, Tekel and Parsin.’
“所写的文字是: ‘弥尼, 弥尼, 提客勒, 乌法珥新. ’

5:26 “This is the explanation of the matter: ‘Mene’—God has numbered your kingdom and brought an end to it.
讲解是这样: 弥尼, 就是神已经数算你国的年日到此完毕.

5:27 “ ‘Tekel’—you have been weighed on scales and you have been found wanting.
提客勒, 就是你被称在天平里, 显出你的亏欠.

5:28 “ ‘Peres’—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.’ ”
毘勒斯(与乌法珥新同义), 就是你的国分裂, 归与玛代人和波斯人. ”

5:29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple and placed a necklace of gold around his neck, and they made a proclamation concerning him that he would be the third ruler in authority in the kingdom.
伯沙撒下令, 人就把紫袍给但以理穿上, 把金炼给他戴在颈项上, 又传令使他在国中位列第三.

5:30 That same night Belshazzar, the Chaldean king, was killed.
当夜, 迦勒底王伯沙撒被杀.

5:31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom when he was about sixty-two years old.
米底亚人大利乌年六十二岁, 取了迦勒底国.

Daniel - Chapter 6

6:1 It pleased Darius, and he set up one hundred and twenty satraps over the kingdom, that they were throughout the whole kingdom,
大利乌随心所愿, 立一百二十个总督, 治理通国.

6:2 and over them were three administrators, of whom Daniel was one, so that these satraps were giving account to them, and the king would not be suffering loss.
又在他们以上立总长三人(但以理在其中), 使总督在他们三人面前回复事务, 免得王受亏损.

6:3 Then Daniel began distinguishing himself above the administrators and the satraps because an exceptional spirit was in him, and so the king planned to appoint him over the whole kingdom.
因这但以理有美好的灵性, 所以显然超乎其余的总长和总督, 王又想立他治理通国.

6:4 Then the other administrators and satraps began to seek to find a pretext against Daniel in connection with the kingdom, but they were not able to find any pretext and corruption because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption could be found in him.
那时, 总长和总督寻找但以理误国的把柄, 为要参他; 只是找不著他的错误过失, 因他忠心办事, 毫无错误过失.

6:5 Then these men said, “We will not find any pretext against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.”
那些人便说: “我们要找参这但以理的把柄, 除非在他神的律法中就寻不著. ”

6:6 So the administrators and the satraps conspired with respect to the king and so they said to him, “Darius, O king, live forever!
于是, 总长和总督纷纷聚集来见王, 说: “愿大利乌王万岁!

6:7 All of the administrators of the kingdom, and the prefects, the satraps, the counselors and the governors took counsel and have agreed to establish an edict of the king and to enforce a decree that whoever will seek a prayer from any god or human except from you for up to thirty days will be thrown into the lion pit.
国中的总长,钦差,总督,谋士, 和巡抚彼此商议, 要立一条坚定的禁令(或译: 求王下旨要立一条……), 三十日内, 不拘何人, 若在王以外, 或向神或向人求甚么, 就必扔在狮子坑中.

6:8 Now, O king, establish the edict and you must sign the document so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked.”
王啊, 现在求你立这禁令, 加盖玉玺, 使禁令决不更改; 照玛代和波斯人的例是不可更改的. ”

6:9 So the king, Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.
于是大利乌王立这禁令, 加盖玉玺.

6:10 Now when Daniel realized that the document was signed, he went to his house (now he had windows in his upper room that were open toward Jerusalem), and three times daily he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave praise before his God, just as he had been doing previously.
但以理知道这禁令盖了玉玺, 就到自己家里(他楼上的窗户开向耶路撒冷), 一日三次, 双膝跪在他神面前, 祷告感谢, 与素常一样.

6:11 Then these men came as a group and they found Daniel praying and pleading for mercy before his God.
那些人就纷纷聚集, 见但以理在他神面前祈祷恳求.

6:12 Then they approached and spoke with the king concerning the edict of the king, “Did you not sign an edict that any person who would seek anything from any God or human within thirty days except from you, O king, would be thrown into the lion pit?” The king answered and said, “The matter as you have just stated is certain according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked.”
他们便进到王前, 提王的禁令, 说: “王啊, 三十日内不拘何人, 若在王以外, 或向神或向人求甚么, 必被扔在狮子坑中. 王不是在这禁令上盖了玉玺么? ”王回答说: “实有这事, 照玛代和波斯人的例是不可更改的. ”

6:13 Then they responded and said before the king, “Daniel, who is from the exiles of Judah, is not paying any attention to you, O king, or to the decree that you have signed, and three times daily he says his prayer.”
他们对王说: “王啊, 那被掳之犹大人中的但以理不理你, 也不遵你盖了玉玺的禁令, 他竟一日三次祈祷. ”

6:14 Then the king, when he heard that report, he was extremely distressed over it; and concerning Daniel he was determined to rescue him. And until the setting of the sun he was making every effort to deliver him.
王听见这话, 就甚愁烦, 一心要救但以理, 筹划解救他, 直到日落的时候.

6:15 Then these men came as a group to the king and said, “Recall, O king, that with respect to the law of the Medes and Persians that any decree or edict that the king establishes cannot be changed.”
那些人就纷纷聚集来见王, 说: “王啊, 当知道玛代人和波斯人有例, 凡王所立的禁令和律例都不可更改. ”

6:16 Then the king gave the command, and Daniel was brought in and they threw him into the lion pit. The king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve faithfully, may he rescue you!”
王下令, 人就把但以理带来, 扔在狮子坑中. 王对但以理说: “你所常事奉的神, 他必救你. ”

6:17 And a stone was brought and it was put on the entrance of the pit, and the king sealed it with his signet ring and with the signet rings of his lords, so that nothing would be changed concerning Daniel.
有人搬石头放在坑口, 王用自己的玺和大臣的印, 封闭那坑, 使惩办但以理的事毫无更改.

6:18 Then the king went to his palace and spent the night in fasting, and no food was brought in before him and his sleep fled from him.
王回宫, 终夜禁食, 无人拿乐器到他面前, 并且睡不着觉.

6:19 Then the king got up at daybreak, at first light, and he went in haste to the lion pit.
次日黎明, 王就起来, 急忙往狮子坑那里去.

6:20 And when he came near to the pit, he cried out to Daniel with a distressed voice, and the king spoke and said to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God whom you serve faithfully, was he able to rescue you from the lions?”
临近坑边, 哀声呼叫但以理, 对但以理说: “永生神的仆人但以理啊, 你所常事奉的神能救你脱离狮子吗? ”

6:21 Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever!
但以理对王说: “愿王万岁!

6:22 My God sent his angel and he shut the mouth of the lions and they did not hurt me, because before him I was found blameless, and also before you, O king, I have not done any wrong.”
我的神差遣使者, 封住狮子的口, 叫狮子不伤我; 因我在神面前无辜, 我在王面前也没有行过亏损的事. ”

6:23 Then the king was exceedingly glad over it and commanded that Daniel be lifted up from the pit; and there was not any wound found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
王就甚喜乐, 吩咐人将但以理从坑里系上来. 于是但以理从坑里被系上来, 身上毫无伤损, 因为信靠他的神.

6:24 The king then commanded, and these men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they threw them and their children and their wives into the lion pit, and they had not reached the floor of the pit before the lions had overpowered them and they had crushed all of their bones.
王下令, 人就把那些控告但以理的人, 连他们的妻子儿女都带来, 扔在狮子坑中. 他们还没有到坑底, 狮子就抓住(原文是胜了)他们, 咬碎他们的骨头.

6:25 Then Darius the king wrote to all the people, the nations, and the languages living in the whole earth, “May your prosperity become great!
那时, 大利乌王传旨, 晓谕住在全地各方,各国,各族的人说: “愿你们大享平安!

6:26 I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom people will be trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God and endures forever and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed and his dominion has no end.
现在我降旨晓谕我所统辖的全国人民, 要在但以理的神面前, 战兢恐惧. 因为他是永远长存的活神, 他的国永不败坏; 他的权柄永存无极!

6:27 He is rescuing, delivering, and working signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth, for he has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
他护庇人, 搭救人, 在天上地下施行神蹟奇事, 救了但以理脱离狮子的口. ”

6:28 So this Daniel prospered during the kingdom of Darius and during the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.
如此, 这但以理, 当大利乌王在位的时候和波斯王古列在位的时候, 大享亨通.

Daniel - Chapter 7

7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar the king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay on his bed; then he wrote down the dream and the summary of the words as follows:
巴比伦王伯沙撒元年, 但以理在床上做梦, 见了脑中的异象, 就记录这梦, 述说其中的大意.

7:2 Daniel explained and said, “I was looking in my vision in the night, and look, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.
但以理说: 我夜里见异象, 看见天的四风陡起, 刮在大海之上.

7:3 And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, differing from one another.
有四个大兽从海中上来, 形状各有不同:

7:4 The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I was watching until its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth and it was raised on its feet like a human, and a human heart was given to it.
头一个像狮子, 有鹰的翅膀; 我正观看的时候, 兽的翅膀被拔去, 兽从地上得立起来, 用两脚站立, 像人一样, 又得了人心.

7:5 And look, another beast, a second one, looking like a bear. And it was raised up on one side and three tusks were in its mouth between its teeth, and so it was told, “Arise, eat much flesh!”
又有一兽如熊, 就是第二兽, 旁跨而坐, 口齿内啣著三根肋骨. 有吩咐这兽的说: 起来吞吃多肉.

7:6 After this I was watching and look, another beast like a leopard; it had four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
此后我观看, 又有一兽如豹, 背上有鸟的四个翅膀; 这兽有四个头, 又得了权柄.

7:7 After this in the visions of the night I was looking and there was a fourth beast, terrifying and frightful and exceedingly strong, and it had great iron teeth, and it was devouring and crushing, and it stamped the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the other beasts that preceded it and it had ten horns.
其后我在夜间的异象中观看, 见第四兽甚是可怕, 极其强壮, 大有力量, 有大铁牙, 吞吃嚼碎, 所剩下的用脚践踏. 这兽与前三兽大不相同, 头有十角.

7:8 I was considering the horns, and look, another little horn came up among them, and three of the earlier horns were rooted out from before it, and there were eyes like the eyes of a human in this horn and also a mouth that was speaking boastfully.
我正观看这些角, 见其中又长起一个小角; 先前的角中有三角在这角前, 连根被牠拔出来. 这角有眼, 像人的眼, 有口说夸大的话.

7:9 “I continued watching until thrones were placed and an Ancient of Days sat; his clothing was like white snow and the hair of his head was like pure wool and his throne was a flame of fire and its wheels were burning fire.
我观看, 见有宝座设立, 上头坐着亘古常在者. 他的衣服洁白如雪, 头发如纯净的羊毛. 宝座乃火焰, 其轮乃烈火.

7:10 A stream of fire issued forth and flowed from his presence; thousands upon thousands served him and ten thousand upon ten thousand stood before him. The judge sat, and the books were opened.
从他面前有火, 像河发出; 事奉他的有千千, 在他面前侍立的有万万; 他坐着要行审判, 案卷都展开了.

7:11 “I continued watching then because of the noise of the boastful words of the horn who was speaking; I continued watching until the beast was slain and its body was destroyed, and it was given over to burning with fire.
那时我观看, 见那兽因小角说夸大话的声音被杀, 身体损坏, 扔在火中焚烧.

7:12 And as for the remainder of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but a prolongation of their life was given to them for a season and a time.
其余的兽, 权柄都被夺去, 生命却仍存留, 直到所定的时候和日期.

7:13 “I continued watching in the visions of the night, and look, with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man was coming, and he came to the Ancient of Days, and was presented before him.
我在夜间的异象中观看, 见有一位像人子的, 驾着天云而来, 被领到亘古常在者面前,

7:14 And to him was given dominion and glory and kingship that all the peoples, the nations, and languages would serve him; his dominion is a dominion without end that will not cease, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.
得了权柄,荣耀,国度, 使各方,各国,各族的人都事奉他. 他的权柄是永远的, 不能废去; 他的国必不败坏.

7:15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me.
至于我─但以理, 我的灵在我里面愁烦, 我脑中的异象使我惊惶.

7:16 So I approached one of the attendants and I asked him about the truth concerning all this; and he told me that he would make known to me the explanation of the matter.
我就近一位侍立者, 问他这一切的真情. 他就告诉我, 将那事的讲解给我说明.

7:17 ‘These great beasts which are four in number are four kings who will arise from the earth.
这四个大兽就是四王将要在世上兴起.

7:18 But the holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and they will take possession of the kingdom forever, forever and ever.’
然而, 至高者的圣民, 必要得国享受, 直到永永远远.

7:19 “Then I desired to make certain concerning the fourth beast that was different from all the others—exceedingly terrifying, with its iron teeth and its claws of bronze; it devoured and crushed and stamped the remainder with its feet—
那时我愿知道第四兽的真情, 牠为何与那三兽的真情大不相同, 甚是可怕, 有铁牙铜爪, 吞吃嚼碎, 所剩下的用脚践踏;

7:20 and concerning the horns that were on its head, and concerning the other horn that came up and before which three horns fell, and this horn had eyes and a mouth speaking boastfully, and its appearance was larger than its companions.
头有十角和那另长的一角, 在这角前有三角被牠打落. 这角有眼, 有说夸大话的口, 形状强横, 过于牠的同类.

7:21 I continued watching, and this horn made war with the holy ones and it prevailed over them,
我观看, 见这角与圣民争战, 胜了他们.

7:22 until the Ancient of Days came and gave judgment to the holy ones of the Most High; and the time arrived and the holy ones took possession of the kingdom.
直到亘古常在者来给至高者的圣民伸冤, 圣民得国的时候就到了.

7:23 “And he said, ‘The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom that will be on the earth that will be different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth and it will trample it and it will crush it.
那侍立者这样说: 第四兽就是世上必有的第四国, 与一切国大不相同, 必吞吃全地, 并且践踏嚼碎.

7:24 And as for the ten horns coming from it, from this kingdom ten kings will arise, and another will arise after them. And he will be different from the earlier ones, and he will subdue three kings.
至于那十角, 就是从这国中必兴起的十王, 后来又兴起一王, 与先前的不同; 他必制伏三王.

7:25 And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he will attempt to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time and two times and half a time.
他必向至高者说夸大的话, 必折磨至高者的圣民, 必想改变节期和律法. 圣民必交付他手一载,二载,半载.

7:26 Then the court will sit, and his dominion will be removed, to be eradicated and to be destroyed totally.
然而, 审判者必坐着行审判; 他的权柄必被夺去, 毁坏, 灭绝, 一直到底.

7:27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the nation of the holy ones of the Most High; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey him.’
国度,权柄, 和天下诸国的大权必赐给至高者的圣民. 他的国是永远的; 一切掌权的都必事奉他, 顺从他.

7:28 This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel—my thoughts terrified me greatly and my face changed over me, but I kept the matter in my heart.”
那事至此完毕. 至于我─但以理, 心中甚是惊惶, 脸色也改变了, 却将那事存记在心.

Daniel - Chapter 8

8:1 In the third year of the kingdom of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that appeared to me previously.
伯沙撒王在位第三年, 有异象现与我─但以理, 是在先前所见的异象之后.

8:2 And I saw in the vision, and when I saw, I was in Susa, the citadel that was in the province of Elam. And I saw in the vision, and I myself was at the stream of Ulai.
我见了异象的时候, 我以为在以拦省书珊城(或译: 宫)中; 我见异象又如在乌莱河边.

8:3 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and look! A ram standing before the stream, and it had two horns, and the horns were long, but the one was longer than the second, and the longer one came up after the other one.
我举目观看, 见有双角的公绵羊站在河边, 两角都高. 这角高过那角, 更高的是后长的.

8:4 I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward, and none of the beasts stood before it, and there was no rescuing from its power, and it did what it wanted and it became strong.
我见那公绵羊往西,往北,往南牴触. 兽在牠面前都站立不住, 也没有能救护脱离牠手的; 但牠任意而行, 自高自大.

8:5 And I was considering this, and look, a he-goat coming from the west across the face of the whole earth, and it was not touching the ground; and the he-goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.
我正思想的时候, 见有一只公山羊从西而来, 遍行全地, 脚不沾尘. 这山羊两眼当中有一非常的角.

8:6 Then it came toward the ram that had the two horns that I saw standing before the stream, and it ran at it with the rage of its power.
牠往我所看见,站在河边有双角的公绵羊那里去, 大发忿怒, 向牠直闯.

8:7 And I saw it approaching the ram and it was furious at it, and it struck the ram, and it broke its two horns, and there was not strength in the ram to stand before him, and he threw it down to the ground and trampled it, and there was no one who could rescue the ram from its power.
我见公山羊就近公绵羊, 向牠发烈怒, 牴触牠, 折断牠的两角. 绵羊在牠面前站立不住; 牠将绵羊触倒在地, 用脚践踏, 没有能救绵羊脱离牠手的.

8:8 And the he-goat grew exceedingly great, and at the height of its power the great horn was broken, and four conspicuous horns came up in place of it toward the four winds of heaven.
这山羊极其自高自大, 正强盛的时候, 那大角折断了, 又在角根上向天的四方(原文是风)长出四个非常的角来.

8:9 And from one of them came forth a horn, a little one, and it grew exceedingly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.
四角之中有一角长出一个小角, 向南,向东,向荣美之地, 渐渐成为强大.

8:10 And it grew up to the host of heaven, and it threw down to the ground some of the host and some of the stars and trampled them.
牠渐渐强大, 高及天象, 将些天象和星宿抛落在地, 用脚践踏.

8:11 Even against the prince of the hosts it acted arrogantly and took away from him the regular burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.
并且牠自高自大, 以为高及天象之君; 除掉常献给君的燔祭, 毁坏君的圣所.

8:12 And on account of transgression, the host was given over to the horn in addition to the regular burnt offering. And it cast down truth to the ground, and it acted, and it had success.
因罪过的缘故, 有军旅和常献的燔祭交付牠. 牠将真理抛在地上, 任意而行, 无不顺利.

8:13 And I heard a certain holy one speaking, and a certain other holy one said to the specific one who was speaking, “For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, and the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and the host to trampling?”
我听见有一位圣者说话, 又有一位圣者问那说话的圣者说: “这除掉常献的燔祭和施行毁坏的罪过, 将圣所与军旅(或译: 以色列的军)践踏的异象, 要到几时才应验呢? ”

8:14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be restored.”
他对我说: “到二千三百日, 圣所就必洁净. ”

8:15 And then when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and I was seeking understanding, there was one standing before me with the appearance of a man.
我─但以理见了这异象, 愿意明白其中的意思. 忽有一位形状像人的站在我面前.

8:16 And I heard the voice of a human at the Ulai, and he called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”
我又听见乌莱河两岸中有人声呼叫说: “加百列啊, 要使此人明白这异象. ”

8:17 And he came beside where I was standing, and when he came I became terrified and I fell prostrate on my face. And he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.”
他便来到我所站的地方. 他一来, 我就惊慌俯伏在地; 他对我说: “人子啊, 你要明白, 因为这是关乎末后的异象. ”

8:18 And when he spoke with me I fell into a trance with my face to the ground, and he touched me and made me stand on by feet.
他与我说话的时候, 我面伏在地沉睡; 他就摸我, 扶我站起来,

8:19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what will happen in the period of wrath, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.
说: “我要指示你恼怒临完必有的事, 因为这是关乎末后的定期.

8:20 “The ram that you saw who had two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
你所看见双角的公绵羊, 就是玛代和波斯王.

8:21 “And the hairy he-goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the great horn that is between his eyes—he is the first king.
那公山羊就是希腊王(希腊: 原文是雅完; 下同); 两眼当中的大角就是头一王.

8:22 And the horn that was broken, and then there arose four horns in place of it—these are four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, but not with his power.
至于那折断了的角, 在其根上又长出四角, 这四角就是四国, 必从这国里兴起来, 只是权势都不及他.

8:23 And at the end of their kingdom, when the transgressions are completed, a king will arise, fierce in countenance and skilled in riddles.
这四国末时, 犯法的人罪恶满盈, 必有一王兴起, 面貌凶恶, 能用双关的诈语.

8:24 And his power will grow, but not by his own power, and he will cause fearful destruction, and he will succeed and he will act, and he will destroy the mighty and the people of the holy ones.
他的权柄必大, 却不是因自己的能力; 他必行非常的毁灭, 事情顺利, 任意而行; 又必毁灭有能力的和圣民.

8:25 And by his planning he will make a success of deceit by his hand, and in his mind he will boast, and in their ease he will destroy many, and even against the prince of princes he will rise up, and he will be broken, but not by human hands.
他用权术成就手中的诡计, 心里自高自大, 在人坦然无备的时候, 毁灭多人; 又要站起来攻击万君之君, 至终却非因人手而灭亡.

8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning that has been described, it is true; and you, seal up the vision, for it refers to many days to come.”
所说二千三百日的异象是真的, 但你要将这异象封住, 因为关乎后来许多的日子. ”

8:27 And I, Daniel, was overcome, and I became ill for some days, and I performed the business of the king, and I was dismayed over the vision and I did not understand it.
于是我─但以理昏迷不醒, 病了数日, 然后起来办理王的事务. 我因这异象惊奇, 却无人能明白其中的意思.

Daniel - Chapter 9

9:1 In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, from the offspring of the Medes, who became king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—
玛代族亚哈随鲁的儿子大利乌立为迦勒底国的王元年,

9:2 in the first year of his kingship I, Daniel, observed in the scrolls the number of the years that it was that were to be fulfilled according to the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet for the devastation of Jerusalem—seventy years.
就是他在位第一年, 我但以理从书上得知耶和华的话临到先知耶利米, 论耶路撒冷荒凉的年数, 七十年为满.

9:3 Then I turned my face to the Lord God to seek him by prayer and pleas for mercy, in fasting and in sackcloth and ashes.
我便禁食, 披麻蒙灰, 定意向主神祈祷恳求.

9:4 And I prayed to Yahweh my God, and I made confession and I said, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, keeping the covenant and loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments,
我向耶和华─我的神祈祷,认罪, 说: “主啊, 大而可畏的神, 向爱主,守主诫命的人守约施慈爱.

9:5 we have sinned and we have done wrong and we acted wickedly and we rebelled and have been turning aside from your commandments and from your ordinances.
我们犯罪作孽, 行恶叛逆, 偏离你的诫命典章,

9:6 We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors and to all the people of the land.
没有听从你仆人众先知奉你名向我们君王,首领,列祖, 和国中一切百姓所说的话.

9:7 “Righteousness belongs to you, O Lord, and on us is open shame, just as it is this day to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off in all the lands to which you have driven them, because of their infidelity which they displayed against you.
主啊, 你是公义的, 我们是脸上蒙羞的; 因我们犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民, 并以色列众人, 或在近处, 或在远处, 被你赶到各国的人, 都得罪了你, 正如今日一样.

9:8 Yahweh, on us is open shame, on our kings, on our princes, and on our ancestors, because we have sinned against you.
主啊, 我们和我们的君王,首领,列祖因得罪了你, 就都脸上蒙羞.

9:9 Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord, our God, for we have rebelled against him,
主─我们的神是怜悯饶恕人的, 我们却违背了他,

9:10 and we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God, by following his law which he placed before us by the hand of his servants the prophets.
也没有听从耶和华─我们神的话, 没有遵行他藉仆人众先知向我们所陈明的律法.

9:11 “And all Israel transgressed your law and turned aside so as not to listen to your voice, and so the curse and the oath which was written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, has been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.
以色列众人都犯了你的律法, 偏行, 不听从你的话; 因此, 在你仆人摩西律法上所写的咒诅和誓言都倾在我们身上, 因我们得罪了神.

9:12 And so he has carried out his words which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring upon us a great calamity which was not done under all of heaven as it was done in Jerusalem.
他使大灾祸临到我们, 成就了警戒我们和审判我们官长的话; 原来在普天之下未曾行过像在耶路撒冷所行的.

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, all of this calamity has come upon us, and we have not implored the face of Yahweh our God so as to turn from our iniquities and to attend closely to your faithfulness.
这一切灾祸临到我们身上是照摩西律法上所写的, 我们却没有求耶和华─我们神的恩典, 使我们回头离开罪孽, 明白你的真理.

9:14 So Yahweh has kept watch over the calamity, and now he has brought it upon us. Indeed, Yahweh our God is righteous concerning all his works that he has done, but we have not listened to his voice.
所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上, 因为耶和华─我们的神在他所行的事上都是公义; 我们并没有听从他的话.

9:15 “And now, Lord our God, who have brought your people out from the land of Egypt with a strong hand, and you have made for yourself a name until this day—we have sinned, we have acted wickedly.
主─我们的神啊, 你曾用大能的手领你的子民出埃及地, 使自己得了名, 正如今日一样. 我们犯了罪, 作了恶.

9:16 Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your rage turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain, because through our sins and through the iniquities of our ancestors Jerusalem and your people have become an object of mockery among all of our neighbors.
主啊, 求你按你的大仁大义, 使你的怒气和忿怒转离你的城耶路撒冷, 就是你的圣山. 耶路撒冷和你的子民, 因我们的罪恶和我们列祖的罪孽被四围的人羞辱.

9:17 “And now, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy. Shine your face upon your desolate sanctuary for your sake, O Lord.
我们的神啊, 现在求你垂听仆人的祈祷恳求, 为自己使脸光照你荒凉的圣所.

9:18 Incline your ear, my God, and listen; open your eyes and look at our desolation and the city that is called by your name, for we are not presenting our pleas for mercy before you because of our righteousness, but rather because of your great compassion.
我的神啊, 求你侧耳而听, 睁眼而看, 眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为你名下的城. 我们在你面前恳求, 原不是因自己的义, 乃因你的大怜悯.

9:19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, pay heed and act! You must not delay for your sake, my God; because your city and your people are called by your name.”
求主垂听, 求主赦免, 求主应允而行, 为你自己不要迟延. 我的神啊, 因这城和这民都是称为你名下的. ”

9:20 Now I was still speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before Yahweh my God, on behalf of the holy mountain of my God.
我说话, 祷告, 承认我的罪和本国之民以色列的罪, 为我神的圣山, 在耶和华─我神面前恳求.

9:21 And I was still speaking in prayer, and the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, in my weariness touched me at the time of the evening offering.
我正祷告的时候, 先前在异象中所见的那位加百列, 奉命迅速飞来, 约在献晚祭的时候, 按手在我身上.

9:22 And he instructed me and he spoke with me and he said, “Daniel I have now come out to teach you understanding.
他指教我说: “但以理啊, 现在我出来要使你有智慧, 有聪明.

9:23 At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, a word went out, and now I have come to declare it, for you are highly esteemed, and so consider the word and understand the vision.
你初恳求的时候, 就发出命令, 我来告诉你, 因你大蒙眷爱; 所以你要思想明白这以下的事和异象.

9:24 “Seventy weeks is decreed for your people and for your holy city, to put an end to the transgression and to seal up sin and to make atonement for guilt and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and prophet and to anoint the most holy place.
“为你本国之民和你圣城, 已经定了七十个七. 要止住罪过, 除净罪恶, 赎尽罪孽, 引进(或译: 彰显)永义, 封住异象和预言, 并膏至圣者(者: 或译所).

9:25 And you must know and you must understand that from the time of the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem until an anointed one—a leader—will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be restored and will be built with streets and a moat, but in a time of oppression.
你当知道, 当明白, 从出令重新建造耶路撒冷, 直到有受膏君的时候, 必有七个七和六十二个七. 正在艰难的时候, 耶路撒冷城连街带濠都必重新建造.

9:26 “And after the sixty and two weeks an anointed one shall be cut off, and he shall have nothing, and the people of the coming leader will destroy the city and the sanctuary, and its end will be with the flood and on to the end there shall be war; these desolations are determined.
过了六十二个七, 那(或译: 有)受膏者必被剪除, 一无所有; 必有一王的民来毁灭这城和圣所, 至终必如洪水冲没. 必有争战, 一直到底, 荒凉的事已经定了.

9:27 And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering and in its place a desolating abomination comes even until the determined complete destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
一七之内, 他必与许多人坚定盟约; 一七之半, 他必使祭祀与供献止息. 那行毁坏可憎的(或译: 使地荒凉的)如飞而来, 并且有忿怒倾在那行毁坏的身上(或译: 倾在那荒凉之地), 直到所定的结局. ”

Daniel - Chapter 10

10:1 In the third year of Cyrus the king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel, who was called by his name Belteshazzar, and the word was reliable and it concerned a great tribulation, and he understood the word and he received understanding.
波斯王古列第三年, 有事显给称为伯提沙撒的但以理. 这事是真的, 是指著大争战; 但以理通达这事, 明白这异象.

10:2 In those days, I, Daniel, I myself was in mourning for three whole weeks.
当那时, 我─但以理悲伤了三个七日.

10:3 I had not eaten any choice food, and meat and wine did not enter my mouth, and I did not use any ointment until the end of three whole weeks.
美味我没有吃, 酒肉没有入我的口, 也没有用油抹我的身, 直到满了三个七日.

10:4 And then on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I myself was on the bank of the great river; that is, the Tigris.
正月二十四日, 我在底格里斯大河边,

10:5 And I lifted up my eyes and I saw, and there was a man, and he was dressed in linen, and his waist was girded with the gold of Uphaz.
举目观看, 见有一人身穿细麻衣, 腰束乌法精金带.

10:6 Now his body was like turquoise, and his face was like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his legs were like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the sound of a multitude.
他身体如水苍玉, 面貌如闪电, 眼目如火把, 手和脚如光明的铜, 说话的声音如大众的声音.

10:7 And I saw, I, Daniel alone, the vision; and the people who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great trembling fell upon them and they fled in order to hide themselves.
这异象惟有我─但以理一人看见, 同着我的人没有看见. 他们却大大战兢, 逃跑隐藏,

10:8 And I myself, Daniel, alone saw this great vision, and as a result no strength was left in me and my complexion grew deathly pale, and I did not retain any strength.
只剩下我一人. 我见了这大异象便浑身无力, 面貌失色, 毫无气力.

10:9 And I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words I myself began falling into a trance on my face, with my face to the ground.
我却听见他说话的声音, 一听见就面伏在地沉睡了.

10:10 And look, a hand touched me and it roused me to my knees and the palms of my hands.
忽然, 有一手按在我身上, 使我用膝和手掌支持微起.

10:11 And he said to me, “Daniel, a man beloved, pay attention to the words that I am speaking to you and stand upright where you are, for I have now been sent to you.” And while he was speaking with me this word, I stood up trembling.
他对我说: “大蒙眷爱的但以理啊, 要明白我与你所说的话, 只管站起来, 因为我现在奉差遣来到你这里. ”他对我说这话, 我便战战兢兢地立起来.

10:12 And he said to me, “You must not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I myself have come because of your words.
他就说: “但以理啊, 不要惧怕! 因为从你第一日专心求明白将来的事, 又在你神面前刻苦己心, 你的言语已蒙应允; 我是因你的言语而来.

10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood before me for twenty-one days. And look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to assist me, and I left him there beside the king of the Persians.
但波斯国的魔君拦阻我二十一日. 忽然有大君(就是天使长; 二十一节同)中的一位米迦勒来帮助我, 我就停留在波斯诸王那里.

10:14 And I have come to instruct you about what will happen to your people in the future, for there is a further vision here for the future.
现在我来, 要使你明白本国之民日后必遭遇的事, 因为这异象关乎后来许多的日子. ”

10:15 And while he was speaking with me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and I was speechless.
他向我这样说, 我就脸面朝地, 哑口无声.

10:16 Then look, there was one in the form of a human; he touched my lips and I opened my mouth and I spoke and I said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision my anxieties fell upon me and I have not retained my strength.
不料, 有一位像人的, 摸我的嘴唇, 我便开口向那站在我面前的说: “我主啊, 因见这异象, 我大大愁苦, 毫无气力.

10:17 So how am I, a servant of my lord to speak with you, my lord, and I just now have no strength in me?”
我主的仆人怎能与我主说话呢? 我一见异象就浑身无力, 毫无气息. ”

10:18 And he again touched me, the one in the form of a human, and he strengthened me.
有一位形状像人的又摸我, 使我有力量.

10:19 And he said, “You must not fear, O beloved man. Peace be to you; be strong and be courageous!” And when he spoke with me, I was strengthened and I said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
他说: “大蒙眷爱的人哪, 不要惧怕, 愿你平安! 你总要坚强. ”他一向我说话, 我便觉得有力量, 说: “我主请说, 因你使我有力量. ”

10:20 Then he asked, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I return to fight against the prince of Persia and I myself am going, and look, the prince of Javan will come.
他就说: “你知道我为何来见你吗? 现在我要回去与波斯的魔君争战, 我去后, 希腊(原文是雅完)的魔君必来.

10:21 However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth, and there is not one who contends with me against these beings except Michael, your prince.”
但我要将那录在真确书上的事告诉你. 除了你们的大君米迦勒之外, 没有帮助我抵挡这两魔君的. ”

Daniel - Chapter 11

11:1 “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood as a support and as a protection for him.
又说: “当玛代王大利乌元年, 我曾起来扶助米迦勒, 使他坚强.

11:2 And now I will reveal the truth to you. Look! Still three kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will get abundance and great wealth, even more than all of them, and when he becomes strong through his wealth, then he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Javan.
现在我将真事指示你: 波斯还有三王兴起, 第四王必富足远胜诸王. 他因富足成为强盛, 就必激动大众攻击希腊国.

11:3 And a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great dominion, and he will do as he pleases.
必有一个勇敢的王兴起, 执掌大权, 随意而行.

11:4 But as he rises in power, his kingdom will be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, and not according to his dominion by which he ruled, for his kingdom will be uprooted and be given to others besides them.
他兴起的时候, 他的国必破裂, 向天的四方(方: 原文是风)分开, 却不归他的后裔, 治国的权势也都不及他; 因为他的国必被拔出, 归与他后裔之外的人.

11:5 “Then the king of the south will grow strong and also one of his officials, and he will grow stronger than him and he will rule a dominion greater than his dominion.
南方的王必强盛, 他将帅中必有一个比他更强盛, 执掌权柄, 他的权柄甚大.

11:6 And at the end of some years they will make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make a peace treaty, but she will not retain her position of power, and his offspring will not endure, and she will be given up, she and her attendants and her child supporting her, in those times.
过些年后, 他们必互相连合, 南方王的女儿必就了北方王来立约; 但这女子帮助之力存立不住, 王和他所倚靠之力也不能存立. 这女子和引导她来的, 并生她的, 以及当时扶助她的, 都必交与死地.

11:7 And a branch from her roots will rise up in his place, and he will come against the army and he will enter the stronghold of the king of the north and he will take action against them and he will prevail.
但这女子的本家(原文是根)必另生一子(子: 原文是枝)继续王位, 他必率领军队进入北方王的保障, 攻击他们, 而且得胜;

11:8 And also their gods with their idols and with the precious vessels, silver and gold he will take to Egypt into captivity, and for years he will leave the king of the north alone.
并将他们的神像和铸成的偶像, 与金银的宝器掠到埃及去. 数年之内, 他不去攻击北方的王.

11:9 And then he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will return to his land.
北方的王(原文是他)必入南方王的国, 却要仍回本地.

11:10 “But his sons will wage war and they will gather a multitude of great forces and he will advance with great force, and he will overflow like a flood and he will pass through and he will return, and they will wage war up to his fortress.
北方王(原文是他)的二子必动干戈, 招聚许多军兵. 这军兵前去, 如洪水泛滥, 又必再去争战, 直到南方王的保障.

11:11 And the king of the south will become furious, and he will go and he will battle against him, against the king of the north; and he will muster a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
南方王必发烈怒, 出来与北方王争战, 摆列大军; 北方王的军兵必交付他手.

11:12 When the multitude is carried off, his heart will be exalted and he will overthrow tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.
他的众军高傲, 他的心也必自高; 他虽使数万人仆倒, 却不得常胜.

11:13 And the king of the north will again raise a multitude, greater than the former, and at the end of some years he will surely come with a great army and with great supplies.
北方王必回来摆列大军, 比先前的更多. 满了所定的年数, 他必率领大军, 带极多的军装来.

11:14 “And in these times many will rise up against the king of the south, and the violent ones of your people will lift themselves to fulfill the vision, but they will fall.
那时, 必有许多人起来攻击南方王, 并且你本国的强暴人必兴起, 要应验那异象, 他们却要败亡.

11:15 And the king of the north will come, and he will throw up siege ramps and capture a city of fortifications and the military forces of the south and his choice troops will not stand, for there is no strength left to resist.
北方王必来筑垒攻取坚固城; 南方的军兵必站立不住, 就是选择的精兵(原文是民)也无力站住.

11:16 And the one coming to him will act according to his pleasure, and there is no one who will stand before him, and he will stand in the beautiful land and complete destruction will be in his power.
来攻击他的, 必任意而行, 无人在北方王(原文是他)面前站立得住. 他必站在那荣美之地, 用手施行毁灭.

11:17 And he will set his face to come with the authority of his whole kingdom and will form an agreement; and he will act, and the daughter of women he will give to him to destroy it, but the ploy will not succeed and she will not support him.
他必定意用全国之力而来, 立公正的约, 照约而行, 将自己的女儿给南方王为妻, 想要败坏他(或译: 埃及), 这计却不得成就, 与自己毫无益处.

11:18 And he will turn his face to the coastlands, and he will capture many, but a commander will end his insults to him so that instead his insults will turn back upon him.
其后他必转回夺取了许多海岛. 但有一大帅, 除掉他令人受的羞辱, 并且使这羞辱归他本身.

11:19 And he will turn back his face toward the strongholds of his land, but he will stumble and he will fall and will not be found.
他就必转向本地的保障, 却要绊跌仆倒, 归于无有.

11:20 “Then in his place will arise one sending an official throughout the glory of his kingdom, and in a few days he will be broken, but not in anger and not in battle.
那时, 必有一人兴起接续他为王, 使横征暴敛的人通行国中的荣美地. 这王不多日就必灭亡, 却不因忿怒, 也不因争战.

11:21 And in his place a despicable person will arise on whom they have not conferred the majesty of the kingdom, and he will come in without warning and he will seize the kingdom by deceit.
必有一个卑鄙的人兴起接续为王, 人未曾将国的尊荣给他, 他却趁人坦然无备的时候, 用谄媚的话得国.

11:22 And before him mighty military forces will be utterly swept away, and they will be broken, and also the leader of the covenant.
必有无数的军兵势如洪水, 在他面前冲没败坏; 同盟的君也必如此.

11:23 And after an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully, and he will rise and he will become powerful with few people backing him.
与那君结盟之后, 他必行诡诈, 因为他必上来以微小的军(原文是民)成为强盛.

11:24 In a time of ease and in the rich parts of the province, he will come and he will do what his predecessors did not do; he will distribute plunder and spoil and possessions to them, and he will devise his plans against fortifications, but only for a time.
趁人坦然无备的时候, 他必来到国中极肥美之地, 行他列祖和他列祖之祖所未曾行的, 将掳物,掠物, 和财宝散给众人, 又要设计攻打保障, 然而这都是暂时的.

11:25 And he will stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south and with a much greater and stronger army; but he will not succeed, for they will devise plans against him.
他必奋勇向前, 率领大军攻击南方王; 南方王也必以极大极强的军兵与他争战, 却站立不住, 因为有人设计谋害南方王.

11:26 And those who eat of his royal rations will break him and his army will be overwhelmed, and many will fall, slain.
吃王膳的, 必败坏他; 他的军队必被冲没, 而且被杀的甚多.

11:27 And two of the kings will bend their hearts to evil. And at the same table they will speak lies, but what is discussed will not succeed, for still an end is coming at the appointed time.
至于这二王, 他们心怀恶计, 同席说谎, 计谋却不成就; 因为到了定期, 事就了结.

11:28 Then he will return to his land with many possessions, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant, and he will take action and he will return to his land.
北方王(原文是他)必带许多财宝回往本国, 他的心反对圣约, 任意而行, 回到本地.

11:29 “At the appointed time he will return and he will come into the south, but it will not be as it was before.
到了定期, 他必返回, 来到南方. 后一次却不如前一次,

11:30 And the ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart, and he will turn back, and he will be enraged against the holy covenant, and he will take action, and he will turn back, and he will pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant.
因为基提战船必来攻击他, 他就丧胆而回, 又要恼恨圣约, 任意而行; 他必回来联络背弃圣约的人.

11:31 And military forces from him will occupy and will profane the sanctuary stronghold, and they will abolish the regular burnt offering, and they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.
他必兴兵, 这兵必亵渎圣地, 就是保障, 除掉常献的燔祭, 设立那行毁坏可憎的.

11:32 “And those who violate the covenant he will seduce with flattery, but the persons who know their God will stand firm and will take action.
作恶违背圣约的人, 他必用巧言勾引; 惟独认识神的子民必刚强行事.

11:33 And those who have insight will instruct the many, but they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for some time.
民间的智慧人必训诲多人; 然而他们多日必倒在刀下, 或被火烧, 或被掳掠抢夺.

11:34 And when they fall they will receive little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy.
他们仆倒的时候, 稍得扶助, 却有许多人用谄媚的话亲近他们.

11:35 And even some of those who have insight will fall in order for them to be refined by it, and to be purified and cleansed until the time of the end, for the appointed time is still to come.
智慧人中有些仆倒的, 为要熬炼其余的人, 使他们清净洁白, 直到末了; 因为到了定期, 事就了结.

11:36 “Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and will consider himself above any god, and he will speak horrendous things against the God of gods, yet he will succeed until the period of anger is finished, for what is determined will be done.
王必任意而行, 自高自大, 超过所有的神, 又用奇异的话攻击万神之神. 他必行事亨通, 直到主的忿怒完毕, 因为所定的事必然成就.

11:37 He will not pay respect to the gods of his ancestors, or to the darling of women, and not to any god will he pay respect, for he will consider himself great over all gods.
他必不顾他列祖的神, 也不顾妇女所羡慕的神, 无论何神他都不顾; 因为他必自大, 高过一切.

11:38 But instead he will honor the god of fortresses, a god whom his ancestors did not know. He will honor him with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones and with costly gifts.
他倒要敬拜保障的神, 用金,银,宝石和可爱之物敬奉他列祖所不认识的神.

11:39 And he will deal with the fortified strongholds with the help of a foreign god; and he will increase wealth for whoever will acknowledge him, and he will cause them to rule over the many, and he will distribute land for a price.
他必靠外邦神的帮助, 攻破最坚固的保障. 凡承认他的, 他必将荣耀加给他们, 使他们管辖许多人, 又为贿赂分地与他们.

11:40 “And at the time of the end the king of the south will attack him, and the king of the north will storm against him with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships, and he will advance against the countries and he will sweep through like a flood.
到末了, 南方王要与他交战. 北方王必用战车,马兵, 和许多战船, 势如暴风来攻击他, 也必进入列国, 如洪水泛滥.

11:41 And he will come into the beautiful land and many will fall victim, but these will escape from his power: Edom and Moab and the best part of the Ammonites.
又必进入那荣美之地, 有许多国就被倾覆, 但以东人,摩押人, 和一大半亚扪人必脱离他的手.

11:42 And he will stretch out his hand against countries and the land of Egypt will not escape.
他必伸手攻击列国; 埃及地也不得脱离.

11:43 And he will rule over the treasures of gold and the silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Cushites will follow in his footsteps.
他必把持埃及的金银财宝和各样的宝物. 利比亚人和古实人都必跟从他.

11:44 But reports will terrify him from the east and from the north, and he will go out with great fury to destroy and to exterminate many.
但从东方和北方必有消息扰乱他, 他就大发烈怒出去, 要将多人杀灭净尽.

11:45 And then he will pitch the tents of his palace between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, and he will come to his end, and there is no one helping him.”
他必在海和荣美的圣山中间设立他如宫殿的帐幕; 然而到了他的结局, 必无人能帮助他.

Daniel - Chapter 12

12:1 “Now at that time, Michael, the great prince, will arise, the protector over the sons of your people, and it will be a time of distress that has not been since your people have been a nation until that time. And at that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.
那时, 保佑你本国之民的天使长(原文是大君)米迦勒必站起来, 并且有大艰难, 从有国以来直到此时, 没有这样的. 你本国的民中, 凡名录在册上的, 必得拯救.

12:2 And many from those sleeping in the dusty ground will awake, some to everlasting life and some to disgrace and everlasting contempt.
睡在尘埃中的, 必有多人复醒. 其中有得永生的, 有受羞辱永远被憎恶的.

12:3 But the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse, and the ones providing justice for the many will be like the stars forever and ever.
智慧人必发光, 如同天上的光; 那使多人归义的, 必发光如星, 直到永永远远.

12:4 But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and seal the scroll until the time of the end; many will run back and forth and knowledge will increase.”
但以理啊, 你要隐藏这话, 封闭这书, 直到末时. 必有多人来往奔跑(或译: 切心研究), 知识就必增长. ”

12:5 Then I looked, I myself, Daniel, and look, there were two others standing: one on this bank of the stream and one on the other.
我─但以理观看, 见另有两个人站立: 一个在河这边, 一个在河那边.

12:6 Then he said to the man who was clothed in linen who was above the water of the stream, “How long until the end of the wonders?”
有一个问那站在河水以上,穿细麻衣的说: “这奇异的事到几时才应验呢? ”

12:7 And I heard the man who was clothed in linen who was above the water of the stream, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and he swore by the one who lives forever that an appointed time, appointed times, and half an appointed time would pass when the shattering of the power of the holy people would be completed; then all these things will be accomplished.
我听见那站在河水以上,穿细麻衣的, 向天举起左右手, 指著活到永远的主起誓说: “要到一载,二载,半载, 打破圣民权力的时候, 这一切事就都应验了. ”

12:8 Now I myself heard, but I did not understand, and I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
我听见这话, 却不明白, 就说: “我主啊, 这些事的结局是怎样呢? ”

12:9 And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are secret and are sealed up until the time of the end.
他说: “但以理啊, 你只管去; 因为这话已经隐藏封闭, 直到末时.

12:10 Many will be purified and will be cleansed and will be refined, but the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.
必有许多人使自己清净洁白, 且被熬炼; 但恶人仍必行恶, 一切恶人都不明白, 惟独智慧人能明白.

12:11 And from the time the regular burnt offering is removed and the abomination that causes desolation is set up there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
从除掉常献的燔祭, 并设立那行毁坏可憎之物的时候, 必有一千二百九十日.

12:12 Happy is the one who is persevering, and attains to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
等到一千三百三十五日的, 那人便为有福.

12:13 But you, go on to the end and rest, and you will arise for your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.”
“你且去等候结局, 因为你必安歇. 到了末期, 你必起来, 享受你的福分. ”

Hosea (何西阿书)

Hosea - Chapter 1

1:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
当乌西雅,约坦,亚哈斯,希西家作犹大王, 约阿施的儿子耶罗波安作以色列王的时候, 耶和华的话临到备利的儿子何西阿.

1:2 At the beginning when Yahweh spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife and children of whoredom, because the land commits great whoredom forsaking Yahweh.”
耶和华初次与何西阿说话, 对他说: “你去娶淫妇为妻, 也收那从淫乱所生的儿女; 因为这地大行淫乱, 离弃耶和华. ”

1:3 So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
于是, 何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女儿歌篾. 这妇人怀孕, 给他生了一个儿子.

1:4 And Yahweh said to him, “Name him Jezreel; because in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
耶和华对何西阿说: “给他起名叫耶斯列; 因为再过片时, 我必讨耶户家在耶斯列杀人流血的罪, 也必使以色列家的国灭绝.

1:5 On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
到那日, 我必在耶斯列平原折断以色列的弓. ”

1:6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter, and he said to him, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have pity on the house of Israel or forgive them.
歌篾又怀孕生了一个女儿, 耶和华对何西阿说: “给她起名叫罗‧路哈玛(就是不蒙怜悯的意思); 因为我必不再怜悯以色列家, 决不赦免他们.

1:7 But I will have pity on the house of Judah and I will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, war, horses, or horsemen.
我却要怜悯犹大家, 使他们靠耶和华─他们的神得救, 不使他们靠弓,刀,争战,马匹, 与马兵得救. ”

1:8 And when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.
歌篾给罗‧路哈玛断奶以后, 又怀孕生了一个儿子.

1:9 And he said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not my people and I am not your God.
耶和华说: “给他起名叫罗‧阿米(就是非我民的意思); 因为你们不作我的子民, 我也不作你们的神. ”

1:10 The number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea that cannot be measured or counted; and in the place where it is said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “Children of the living God.”
然而, 以色列的人数必如海沙, 不可量, 不可数. 从前在甚么地方对他们说“你们不是我的子民”, 将来在那里必对他们说“你们是永生神的儿子”.

1:11 Then the children of Judah and Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head; and they will take possession of the land, for great is the day of Jezreel.
犹大人和以色列人必一同聚集, 为自己立一个首领, 从这地上去(或译: 从被掳之地上来), 因为耶斯列的日子必为大日.

Hosea - Chapter 2

2:1 Say to your brother, “Ammi,” and to your sister, “Ruhamah.”
你们要称你们的弟兄为阿米(就是我民的意思), 称你们的姊妹为路哈玛(就是蒙怜悯的意思).

2:2 Plead with your mother, plead— because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her put away her whoring from before her, and her adultery from between her breasts.
你们要与你们的母亲大大争辩; 因为她不是我的妻子, 我也不是她的丈夫. 叫她除掉脸上的淫像和胸间的淫态,

2:3 Lest I strip her naked and expose her like the day when she was born; I will make her like the desert and turn her into parched land; I will kill her with thirst.
免得我剥她的衣服, 使她赤体, 与才生的时候一样, 使她如旷野, 如干旱之地, 因渴而死.

2:4 And I will not have pity on her children, because they are children of whoredom.
我必不怜悯她的儿女, 因为他们是从淫乱而生的.

2:5 Because their mother was unfaithful; she who conceived them has acted shamefully, for she said: “I will go after my lovers, the ones who give me my bread, my water, my wool, and my flax, my oil, and my drink.”
他们的母亲行了淫乱, 怀他们的母做了可羞耻的事, 因为她说: 我要随从所爱的; 我的饼,水,羊毛,麻,油,酒都是他们给的.

2:6 Therefore, Look! I am going to hedge her path with thorns, and I will build a stone wall, a stone wall against her, and she will not find her paths.
因此, 我必用荆棘堵塞她的道, 筑墙挡住她, 使她找不著路.

2:7 Then she will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; she will seek them and not find them; and she will say, “I will go and return to my first husband because it was better for me then than now.”
她必追随所爱的, 却追不上; 她必寻找他们, 却寻不见, 便说: 我要归回前夫, 因我那时的光景比如今还好.

2:8 But she did not know that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and who gave her silver in abundance, and gold which they made into a Baal.
她不知道是我给她五谷,新酒, 和油, 又加增她的金银; 她却以此供奉(或译: 制造)巴力.

2:9 Therefore I will take again my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.
因此到了收割的日子, 出酒的时候, 我必将我的五谷新酒收回, 也必将她应当遮体的羊毛和麻夺回来.

2:10 And now I will uncover her nakedness before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will rescue her from my hand.
如今我必在她所爱的眼前显露她的丑态; 必无人能救她脱离我的手.

2:11 And I will put an end to all her mirth, her festivals, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals;
我也必使她的宴乐,节期,月朔,安息日, 并她的一切大会都止息了.

2:12 and I will lay waste to her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, “They are my payment for prostitution, which my lovers gave to me.” I will make them a forest, and the wild animals of the field will devour them.
我也必毁坏她的葡萄树和无花果树, 就是她说“这是我所爱的给我为赏赐”的. 我必使这些树变为荒林, 为田野的走兽所吃.

2:13 I will punish her for the days of the Baals, to whom she burns incense, and she decked herself with her ornamental ring and jewelry, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me —a declaration of Yahweh.
我必追讨她素日给诸巴力烧香的罪; 那时她佩带耳环和别样妆饰, 随从她所爱的, 却忘记我. 这是耶和华说的.

2:14 Therefore, Look! I am going to allure her and bring her into the desert, and I will speak tenderly to her.
后来我必劝导她, 领她到旷野, 对她说安慰的话.

2:15 From there I will give her her vineyards, and the Valley of Achor as a doorway of hope. And there she will respond, as in the days of her youth, just as in the day of her coming out of the land of Egypt.
她从那里出来, 我必赐她葡萄园, 又赐她亚割谷作为指望的门. 她必在那里应声(或译: 歌唱), 与幼年的日子一样, 与从埃及地上来的时候相同.

2:16 And on that day— a declaration of Yahweh— you will call me, “My husband;” you will no longer call me, “My Baal.”
耶和华说: “那日你必称呼我伊施(就是我夫的意思), 不再称呼我巴力(就是我主的意思);

2:17 I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by their name.
因为我必从我民的口中除掉诸巴力的名号, 这名号不再提起.

2:18 I will make a covenant for them on that day, with the animals of the field, with the birds of the heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; the bow, the sword, and the war I will abolish from the land, and I will let them lie down in safety.
当那日, 我必为我的民, 与田野的走兽和空中的飞鸟, 并地上的昆虫立约; 又必在国中折断弓刀, 止息争战, 使他们安然躺卧.

2:19 And I will take you as my wife forever; I will take you as a wife for myself in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy.
我必聘你永远归我为妻, 以仁义,公平,慈爱,怜悯聘你归我;

2:20 I will take you as my wife in faithfulness, and you will know Yahweh.
也以诚实聘你归我, 你就必认识我─耶和华.

2:21 On that day I will answer, declares Yahweh, I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth.
耶和华说: 那日我必应允, 我必应允天, 天必应允地;

2:22 And the earth will answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they will answer Jezreel.
地必应允五谷,新酒, 和油, 这些必应允耶斯列民(耶斯列就是神栽种的意思).

2:23 I will sow her for myself in the land; I will have pity on Lo-ruhama; I will say to Lo-ammi, “You are my people,” and he himself will say, “you are my God.”
我必将她种在这地. 素不蒙怜悯的, 我必怜悯; 本非我民的, 我必对他说: 你是我的民; 他必说: 你是我的神. ”

Hosea - Chapter 3

3:1 And Yahweh said to me again, “Go, love a woman who has a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of Yahweh for the children of Israel, but they are turning to other gods and love raisin cakes.”
耶和华对我说: “你再去爱一个淫妇, 就是她情人所爱的; 好像以色列人, 虽然偏向别神, 喜爱葡萄饼, 耶和华还是爱他们. ”

3:2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer of barely and a measure of wine.
我便用银子十五舍客勒, 大麦一贺梅珥半, 买她归我.

3:3 And I said to her, “You must remain as mine for many days, and you will not play the whore; you will not belong to a man, and I will belong to you.”
我对她说: “你当多日为我独居, 不可行淫, 不可归别人为妻, 我向你也必这样. ”

3:4 The children of Israel will remain for many days without a king and prince, without sacrifice and stone pillar, ephod and teraphim.
以色列人也必多日独居, 无君王, 无首领, 无祭祀, 无柱像, 无以弗得, 无家中的神像.

3:5 Afterward the children of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their king. They will come in fear to Yahweh and to his goodness at the end of days.
后来以色列人必归回(或译: 回心转意), 寻求他们的神─耶和华和他们的王大卫. 在末后的日子, 必以敬畏的心归向耶和华, 领受他的恩惠.

Hosea - Chapter 4

4:1 Hear the word of Yahweh, O children of Israel, for Yahweh has an indictment against the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or loyalty, there is no knowledge of God in the land.
以色列人哪, 你们当听耶和华的话. 耶和华与这地的居民争辩, 因这地上无诚实, 无良善, 无人认识神.

4:2 Swearing and lying, murdering and stealing, and adultery break out, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
但起假誓, 不践前言, 杀害, 偷盗, 奸淫, 行强暴, 杀人流血, 接连不断.

4:3 Therefore the land mourns, and all those living in it languish with the animals of the field, and the birds of the heaven, and even the fish of the sea are being swept away.
因此, 这地悲哀, 其上的民,田野的兽,空中的鸟必都衰微, 海中的鱼也必消灭.

4:4 Yet, let no one contend, and let no one accuse, for with you, O priest, is my contention.
然而, 人都不必争辩, 也不必指责, 因为这民与抗拒祭司的人一样.

4:5 You will stumble by day, and the priest also will stumble with you at night. And I will destroy your mother;
你这祭司必日间跌倒; 先知也必夜间与你一同跌倒; 我必灭绝你的母亲.

4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from acting as a priest for me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
我的民因无知识而灭亡. 你弃掉知识, 我也必弃掉你, 使你不再给我作祭司. 你既忘了你神的律法, 我也必忘记你的儿女.

4:7 When they became many, their sin increased against me; they changed their glory into shame.
祭司越发增多, 就越发得罪我; 我必使他们的荣耀变为羞辱.

4:8 They feed on the sin of my people, they are greedy for their iniquity.
他们吃我民的赎罪祭, 满心愿意我民犯罪.

4:9 And it will be like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways, and I will requite them for their deeds.
将来民如何, 祭司也必如何; 我必因他们所行的惩罚他们, 照他们所做的报应他们.

4:10 They will eat and not be satisfied; they will play the whore and not multiply, because they have forsaken Yahweh to devote themselves to
他们吃, 却不得饱; 行淫, 而不得立后; 因为他们离弃耶和华, 不遵他的命.

4:11 whoredom. Wine and new wine take away the understanding.
奸淫和酒, 并新酒, 夺去人的心.

4:12 My people, consult their wooden idols, and their divining rod gives them oracles; because a spirit of whoredom led them astray, and they played the whore from under their God.
我的民求问木偶, 以为木杖能指示他们; 因为他们的淫心使他们失迷, 他们就行淫离弃神, 不守约束,

4:13 On the tops of the mountains they sacrifice, and on the hills they make offerings, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the whore, and all your daughters-in-law commit adultery.
在各山顶, 各高冈的橡树,杨树,栗树之下, 献祭烧香, 因为树影美好. 所以, 你们的女儿淫乱, 你们的新妇(或译: 儿妇; 下同)行淫.

4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, or your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery; because they go aside with whores, and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes, a people that does not understand comes to ruin.
你们的女儿淫乱, 你们的新妇行淫, 我却不惩罚她们; 因为你们自己离群与娼妓同居, 与妓女一同献祭. 这无知的民必致倾倒.

4:15 Even though you, O Israel, are playing the whore, do not let Judah become guilty; do not enter Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven; and do not swear, “As Yahweh lives!”
以色列啊, 你虽然行淫, 犹大却不可犯罪. 不要往吉甲去, 不要上到伯‧亚文, 也不要指著永生的耶和华起誓.

4:16 Indeed, like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; Now Yahweh will feed them, like a lamb in broad pasture.
以色列倔强, 犹如倔强的母牛; 现在耶和华要放他们, 如同放羊羔在宽阔之地.

4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
以法莲亲近偶像, 任凭他吧!

4:18 When their drinking has ended, they surely indulge in sexual orgies. They love lewdness more than their glory.
他们所喝的已经发酸, 他们时常行淫, 他们的官长最爱羞耻的事.

4:19 A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they will be ashamed because of their altars.
风把他们裹在翅膀里; 他们因所献的祭必致蒙羞.

Hosea - Chapter 5

5:1 Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! Because the judgment applies to you; because you have been a snare for Mizpah, and a net spread out on Tabor;
众祭司啊, 要听我的话! 以色列家啊, 要留心听! 王家啊, 要侧耳而听! 审判要临到你们, 因你们在米斯巴如网罗, 在他泊山如铺张的网.

这些悖逆的人肆行杀戮, 罪孽极深; 我却斥责他们众人.

5:3 I myself know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; because now you have played the whore, O Ephraim— Israel is defiled.
以法莲为我所知; 以色列不能向我隐藏. 以法莲哪, 现在你行淫了, 以色列被玷污了.

5:4 Their deeds do not permit them to return them to God. Because a spirit of whoredom is in their midst, they do not know Yahweh.
他们所行的使他们不能归向神; 因有淫心在他们里面, 他们也不认识耶和华.

5:5 The pride of Israel testifies against him, and Israel and Ephraim stumble in their guilt, and Judah stumbles with them.
以色列的骄傲当面见证自己. 故此, 以色列和以法莲必因自己的罪孽跌倒; 犹大也必与他们一同跌倒.

他们向耶和华行事诡诈, 生了私子. 到了月朔, 他们与他们的地业必被吞灭.

5:8 Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm in Beth-aven; look behind you, Benjamin.
你们当在基比亚吹角, 在拉玛吹号, 在伯‧亚文吹出大声, 说: 便雅悯哪, 有仇敌在你后头!

5:9 Ephraim will be a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I will reveal what is true.
在责罚的日子, 以法莲必变为荒场; 我在以色列支派中, 指示将来必成的事.

5:12 But I am like a maggot to Ephraim and like rottenness to the house of Judah.
我使以法莲如虫蛀之物, 使犹大家如朽烂之木.

5:13 And when Ephraim saw his illness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, he sent to the great king. But he was unable to cure you and heal your wound.
以法莲见自己有病, 犹大见自己有伤, 他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王, 他却不能医治你们, 不能治好你们的伤.

5:14 Because I will be like a lion to Ephraim and like a fierce strong lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear and I will go; I will carry off, and there is no one who delivers.
我必向以法莲如狮子, 向犹大家如少壮狮子. 我必撕裂而去, 我要夺去, 无人搭救.

5:15 I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face; in their distress they will search me.
我要回到原处, 等他们自觉有罪(或译: 承认己罪), 寻求我面; 他们在急难的时候必切切寻求我.

6:1 Come, let us return to Yahweh; because it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck us down and will bind us up.
来吧, 我们归向耶和华! 他撕裂我们, 也必医治; 他打伤我们, 也必缠裹.

6:2 He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live in his presence.
过两天他必使我们苏醒, 第三天他必使我们兴起, 我们就在他面前得以存活.

6:3 Let us know, let us press on to know Yahweh; his rising is sure like the dawn. He will come like the showers to us, like the spring rain that waters the earth.
我们务要认识耶和华, 竭力追求认识他. 他出现确如晨光; 他必临到我们像甘雨, 像滋润田地的春雨.

6:4 What will I do with you, O Ephraim? What will I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early in the morning.
主说: 以法莲哪, 我可向你怎样行呢? 犹大啊, 我可向你怎样做呢? 因为你们的良善如同早晨的云雾, 又如速散的甘露.

6:5 Therefore, I have hewn them by the prophets; I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth like the light.

我想医治以色列的时候, 以法莲的罪孽和撒马利亚的罪恶就显露出来. 他们行事虚谎, 内有贼人入室偷窃, 外有强盗成群骚扰.

7:2 But they did not consider that I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds surround them; they are before my face.
他们心里并不思想我记念他们的一切恶; 他们所行的现在缠绕他们, 都在我面前.

7:3 By their wickedness they make the king glad, and the officials by their treacheries.
他们行恶使君王欢喜, 说谎使首领喜乐.

7:4 All of them commit adultery, like a burning oven whose baker has stopped from stirring the fire, and from kneading the dough until it is leavened.
他们都是行淫的, 像火炉被烤饼的烧热, 从抟面到发面的时候, 暂不使火著旺.

在我们王宴乐的日子, 首领因酒的烈性成病; 王与亵慢人拉手.

首领埋伏的时候, 心中热如火炉, 就如烤饼的整夜睡卧, 到了早晨火气炎炎.

众民也热如火炉, 烧灭他们的官长. 他们的君王都仆倒而死; 他们中间无一人求告我.

7:8 Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim is a bread cake not turned over.
以法莲与列邦人搀杂; 以法莲是没有翻过的饼.

7:9 Foreigners devour his strength, and he does not know it; mold is also sprinkled upon him, and he does not know it.

7:11 Ephraim was like a dove, silly, without sense; they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
以法莲好像鸽子愚蠢无知; 他们求告埃及, 投奔亚述.

7:12 Just as they go, I will cast my net over them; I will bring them down like the birds of the heavens; I will discipline them according to a report to their assembly.
他们去的时候, 我必将我的网撒在他们身上; 我要打下他们, 如同空中的鸟. 我必按他们会众所听见的惩罚他们.

他们因离弃我, 必定有祸; 因违背我, 必被毁灭. 我虽要救赎他们, 他们却向我说谎.

7:14 They do not cry out to me from their heart, but they wail on their beds; because of grain and new wine they lacerate themselves; they depart from me.
他们并不诚心哀求我, 乃在床上呼号; 他们为求五谷新酒聚集, 仍然悖逆我.

7:15 And I myself trained and strengthened their arms; but they plan evil against me.
我虽教导他们, 坚固他们的膀臂, 他们竟图谋抗拒我.

7:16 They turn, not to the Most High, like a slack bow; their officials will fall by the sword because of the anger of their tongue. This is their scorn in the land of Egypt.
他们归向, 却不归向至上者; 他们如同翻背的弓. 他们的首领必因舌头的狂傲倒在刀下; 这在埃及地必作人的讥笑.

Hosea - Chapter 8

8:1 Put to your lips the trumpet like a vulture over the house of Yahweh, because they have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.

8:3 Israel has spurned the good; the enemy will pursue him.

8:4 They appointed kings, but not through me; they made officials, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for themselves for their own destruction.

8:5 Your calf is rejected, O Samaria; my anger burns against them. How long will they be incapable of innocence?
撒马利亚啊, 耶和华已经丢弃你的牛犊; 我的怒气向拜牛犊的人发作. 他们到几时方能无罪呢?

8:6 Because it is from Israel, an artisan made it, it is not a god; for the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
这牛犊出于以色列, 是匠人所造的, 并不是神. 撒马利亚的牛犊必被打碎.

8:7 Because they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind. The standing grain does not have heads; it will not yield flour. And if it would yield, strangers would devour it.
他们所种的是风, 所收的是暴风; 所种的不成禾稼, 就是发苗也不结实; 即便结实, 外邦人必吞吃.

8:8 Israel is swallowed up; now they are among the nations, like an object that no one desires.
以色列被吞吃; 现今在列国中, 好像人不喜悦的器皿.

8:9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild donkey alone to itself; Ephraim has sold itself for lovers.
他们投奔亚述, 如同独行的野驴; 以法莲贿买朋党.

8:10 Even though they have sold themselves to the nations, now I will gather them. They will soon writhe from the burden of kings and princes.
他们虽在列邦中贿买人, 现在我却要聚集惩罚他们; 他们因君王和首领所加的重担日渐衰微.

8:11 When Ephraim multiplied altars to expiate sins, they became to him altars to sin on.
以法莲增添祭坛取罪; 因此, 祭坛使他犯罪.

8:12 I write for him myriads of my instruction; they are regarded as a strange thing.
我为他写了律法万条, 他却以为与他毫无关涉.

8:13 They offer sacrifices of my choice and they eat flesh; Yahweh does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; they will return to Egypt.
至于献给我的祭物, 他们自食其肉, 耶和华却不悦纳他们. 现在必记念他们的罪孽, 追讨他们的罪恶; 他们必归回埃及.

8:14 Israel has forgotten his maker and built palaces, and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send fire on his cities and it will devour her strongholds.
以色列忘记造他的主, 建造宫殿; 犹大多造坚固城, 我却要降火焚烧他的城邑, 烧灭其中的宫殿.

9:1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not exult like the nations! For you played the whore, departing from your God; you loved a harlot’s wage on all the threshing floors of grain.

9:2 Threshing floor and wine vat will not feed them, and new wine will fail her.
谷场和酒醡都不够以色列人使用; 新酒也必缺乏.

9:3 They will not remain in the land of Yahweh. But Ephraim will return to Egypt, and in Assyria they will eat unclean food.
他们必不得住耶和华的地; 以法莲却要归回埃及, 必在亚述吃不洁净的食物.

9:4 They will not pour drink offerings of wine to Yahweh, and their sacrifices will not please him. They are like mourners’ bread for them; all those who eat it will be defiled. For their bread will be for their hunger; it will not come to the house of Yahweh.
他们必不得向耶和华奠酒, 即便奠酒也不蒙悦纳. 他们的祭物必如居丧者的食物, 凡吃的必被玷污; 因他们的食物只为自己的口腹, 必不奉入耶和华的殿.

9:5 What will you do on the day of the appointed time, and on the day of the festival of Yahweh?
在大会的日子, 到耶和华的节期, 你们怎样行呢?

9:6 For look! If they flee from the destruction, Egypt will gather them; Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their precious things of silver; thorns will be in their tents.
看哪, 他们逃避灾难; 埃及人必收殓他们的尸首, 摩弗人必葬埋他们的骸骨. 他们用银子做的美物上必长蒺藜; 他们的帐棚中必生荆棘.

9:7 The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have come; Israel knows! The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is acting like a madman. Because of the greatness of your sin, your hostility is great.
以色列人必知道降罚的日子临近, 报应的时候来到. 民说: 作先知的是愚昧; 受灵感的是狂妄, 皆因他们多多作孽, 大怀怨恨.

9:8 The prophet keeps watch over Ephraim for my God; the snare of a fowler is on all his ways, and hostility in the house of his God.
以法莲曾作我神守望的; 至于先知, 在他一切的道上作为捕鸟人的网罗, 在他神的家中怀怨恨.

9:9 They deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; he will remember their sin, he will punish their sins.
以法莲深深地败坏, 如在基比亚的日子一样. 耶和华必记念他们的罪孽, 追讨他们的罪恶.

9:10 Like the grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like early ripened fruit on the fig tree in the first season, I saw your ancestors. They themselves came to Baal Peor, and they consecrated themselves to shame. And they became detestable things, like the thing they love.
主说: 我遇见以色列如葡萄在旷野; 我看见你们的列祖如无花果树上春季初熟的果子. 他们却来到巴力‧毘珥专拜那可羞耻的, 就成为可憎恶的, 与他们所爱的一样.

9:11 Ephraim’s glory is like a bird; it will fly away— no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
至于以法莲人, 他们的荣耀必如鸟飞去, 必不生产, 不怀胎, 不成孕.

9:12 Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them before maturity. Woe to them indeed, when I depart from them!
纵然养大儿女, 我却必使他们丧子, 甚至不留一个. 我离弃他们, 他们就有祸了.

9:13 Ephraim, as I see it, is like a palm in a meadow; but Ephraim must bring out his children to the slayer.
我看以法莲如泰尔栽于美地. 以法莲却要将自己的儿女带出来, 交与行杀戮的人.

9:14 Give them, O Yahweh— what will you give them? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
耶和华啊, 求你加给他们─加甚么呢? 要使他们胎坠乳干.

9:15 Every evil of theirs began at Gilgal, so I began to hate them there; because of the evil of their deeds I will drive them out from my house. I will love them no more; all their officials are rebels.
耶和华说: 他们一切的恶事都在吉甲; 我在那里憎恶他们. 因他们所行的恶, 我必从我地上赶出他们去, 不再怜爱他们; 他们的首领都是悖逆的.

9:16 Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall not bear fruit. Even if they give birth, I will kill the cherished offspring of their womb.
以法莲受责罚, 根本枯干, 必不能结果, 即或生产, 我必杀他们所生的爱子.

9:17 My God will reject them because they did not listen to him, and they will be wanderers among the nations.
我的神必弃绝他们, 因为他们不听从他; 他们也必飘流在列国中.

Hosea - Chapter 10

10:1 Israel is a luxuriant vine; he yields fruit for himself. The more his fruit increased, the more he made numerous altars. The more his land prospered, the more he improved his stone pillars.
以色列是茂盛的葡萄树, 结果繁多. 果子越多, 就越增添祭坛; 地土越肥美, 就越造美丽的柱像.

10:2 Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. He himself will break down their altars; he will destroy their stone pillars.
他们心怀二意, 现今要定为有罪. 耶和华必拆毁他们的祭坛, 毁坏他们的柱像.

10:3 For now they will say, “We have no king; indeed, we did not fear Yahweh, and what can a king do for us?”
他们必说: 我们没有王, 因为我们不敬畏耶和华. 王能为我们做甚么呢?

10:4 They utter words of vain oaths when making covenants, and judgment blossoms like a poisonous plant on the furrows of the field.
他们为立约说谎言, 起假誓; 因此, 灾罚如苦菜滋生在田间的犁沟中.

撒马利亚的居民必因伯‧亚文的牛犊惊恐; 崇拜牛犊的民和喜爱牛犊的祭司都必因荣耀离开它, 为它悲哀.

10:6 It will also be brought to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. Ephraim will obtain disgrace and Israel will be ashamed from his advice.
人必将牛犊带到亚述当作礼物, 献给耶雷布王. 以法莲必蒙羞; 以色列必因自己的计谋惭愧.

至于撒马利亚, 她的王必灭没, 如水面的沫子一样.

伯‧亚文的邱坛─就是以色列取罪的地方必被毁灭; 荆棘和蒺藜必长在他们的祭坛上. 他们必对大山说: 遮盖我们! 对小山说: 倒在我们身上!

10:9 From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel; there they have remained. Will not war in Gibeah overtake them against the children of evil?
以色列啊, 你从基比亚的日子以来时常犯罪. 你们的先人曾站在那里, 现今住基比亚的人以为攻击罪孽之辈的战事临不到自己.

10:10 In my desire I will punish them; nations will be gathered against them when they are punished for their double iniquities.
我必随意惩罚他们. 他们为两样的罪所缠; 列邦的民必聚集攻击他们.

10:11 Ephraim was a trained heifer, that loved to thresh grain, and I myself spared the fairness of her neck; I will make Ephraim break the ground, Judah will plow, Jacob must till for himself.
以法莲是驯良的母牛犊, 喜爱踹谷, 我却将轭加在牠肥美的颈项上, 我要使以法莲拉套(或译: 被骑). 犹大必耕田; 雅各必耙地.

10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap loyal love. Break up for yourself fallow ground; it is time to seek Yahweh so he will come and rain righteousness upon you.
你们要为自己栽种公义, 就能收割慈爱. 现今正是寻求耶和华的时候; 你们要开垦荒地, 等他临到, 使公义如雨降在你们身上.

10:13 You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies, because you have trusted in your strength, in the multitude of your warriors.
你们耕种的是奸恶, 收割的是罪孽, 吃的是谎话的果子. 因你倚靠自己的行为, 仰赖勇士众多,

10:14 The tumult of war will rise up against your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel; on the day of war mothers were dashed to pieces with their children.
所以在这民中必有哄嚷之声, 你一切的保障必被拆毁, 就如沙勒幔在争战的日子拆毁伯‧亚比勒, 将其中的母子一同摔死.

10:15 So it will be done to you, O Bethel, because of the evil of your wickedness; at dawn, the king of Israel will be utterly destroyed.
因他们的大恶, 伯特利必使你们遭遇如此. 到了黎明, 以色列的王必全然灭绝.

基列人没有罪孽吗? 他们全然是虚假的. 人在吉甲献牛犊为祭, 他们的祭坛好像田间犁沟中的乱堆.

12:12 Jacob fled to the open field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he watched over sheep.

12:13 And by a prophet Yahweh brought Israel up from Egypt, and by a prophet he was watched over.
耶和华藉先知领以色列从埃及上来; 以色列也藉先知而得保存.

12:14 Ephraim has caused bitter provocation, and his Lord will hold him responsible for his crimes and pay back to him his insults.
以法莲大大惹动主怒, 所以他流血的罪必归在他身上. 主必将那因以法莲所受的羞辱归还他.

Hosea - Chapter 13

13:1 When Ephraim spoke, there was terror; he was exalted in Israel, but he incurred guilt through Baal and died.
从前以法莲说话, 人都战兢, 他在以色列中居处高位; 但他在事奉巴力的事上犯罪就死了.

13:2 And now they sin again, and they make for themselves a molten idol, idols from their silver metal according to their understanding, all of them the work of skilled craftsmen. To these they say, “Sacrifice!” People are kissing bull calves.
现今他们罪上加罪, 用银子为自己铸造偶像, 就是照自己的聪明制造, 都是匠人的工作. 有人论说, 献祭的人可以向牛犊亲嘴.

13:3 Therefore, they will be like the morning cloud, and like the dew of early morning going away, like chaff swirling from the threshing floor, or like smoke from a window.
因此, 他们必如早晨的云雾, 又如速散的甘露, 像场上的糠秕被狂风吹去, 又像烟气腾于窗外.

13:4 I am Yahweh your God since the land of Egypt; you know no god except me, and no one saves besides me.

我曾在旷野干旱之地认识你.

13:6 When I fed them, they were satisfied; they were satisfied and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.
这些民照我所赐的食物得了饱足; 既得饱足, 心就高傲, 忘记了我.

13:7 And I will be like a lion to them; I lie in wait beside the way, like a leopard.
因此, 我向他们如狮子, 又如豹伏在道旁.

13:8 I will attack them like a bear robbed of her offspring, and I will tear open the covering of their heart; there I will devour them like a lion, like an animal of the field would mutilate them.
我遇见他们必像丢崽子的母熊, 撕裂他们的胸膛(或译: 心膜). 在那里, 我必像母狮吞吃他们; 野兽必撕裂他们.

13:9 I will destroy you, O Israel; who will help you?
以色列啊, 你与我反对, 就是反对帮助你的, 自取败坏.

13:10 Where now is your king that he may save you? Where in all your cities are your judges, of whom you said, “Give to me a king and rulers?”
你曾求我说: 给我立王和首领. 现在你的王在哪里呢? 治理你的在哪里呢? 让他在你所有的城中拯救你吧!

13:11 I gave you a king in my anger, and I took him in my wrath.
我在怒气中将王赐你, 又在烈怒中将王废去.

13:12 The sin of Ephraim is wrapped up; his sin is concealed.
以法莲的罪孽包裹; 他的罪恶收藏.

13:13 The labor pains of childbirth come for him; he is an unwise son because at the proper time, he does not present himself at the mouth of the womb.
产妇的疼痛必临到他身上; 他是无智慧之子, 到了产期不当迟延.

13:14 Should I redeem them from the power of Sheol? Should I deliver them from death? Where are your plagues, O Death? Where is your destruction, O Sheol? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
我必救赎他们脱离阴间, 救赎他们脱离死亡. 死亡啊, 你的灾害在哪里呢? 阴间哪, 你的毁灭在哪里呢? 在我眼前绝无后悔之事.

13:15 Although he may flourish among reeds, the east wind will come, a wind of Yahweh rising from the desert; his fountain will dry up, his spring will be parched. It will plunder his treasury, every object of desire.
他在弟兄中虽然茂盛, 必有东风刮来, 就是耶和华的风从旷野上来. 他的泉源必干; 他的源头必竭; 仇敌必掳掠他所积蓄的一切宝器.

13:16 Samaria will be guilty, because she has rebelled against her God; they will fall by the sword, their children will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.
撒马利亚必担当自己的罪, 因为悖逆她的神. 她必倒在刀下; 婴孩必被摔死; 孕妇必被剖开.

Hosea - Chapter 14

14:1 Return to Yahweh your God, O Israel, for you have stumbled because of your sin.
以色列啊, 你要归向耶和华─你的神; 你是因自己的罪孽跌倒了.

14:2 Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Say to him, “Take away all guilt; accept good, and we will offer the fruit of our lips.
当归向耶和华, 用言语祷告他说: 求你除净罪孽, 悦纳善行; 这样, 我们就把嘴唇的祭代替牛犊献上.

14:3 Assyria will not save us; we will not ride on horses, and we will say no more, “Our God,” to the work of our hands because in you the fatherless child finds mercy.
我们不向亚述求救, 不骑埃及的马, 也不再对我们手所造的说: 你是我们的神. 因为孤儿在你─耶和华那里得蒙怜悯.

14:4 I will heal their disloyalty; I will love them freely because my anger has turned back from them.
我必医治他们背道的病, 甘心爱他们; 因为我的怒气向他们转消.

14:5 I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily plant, and he will strike his roots like the trees of Lebanon.

他的枝条必延长; 他的荣华如橄榄树; 他的香气如黎巴嫩的香柏树.

14:7 They will again dwell in my shadow; they will grow grain and they will blossom like the plant vine; his fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
曾住在他荫下的必归回, 发旺如五谷, 开花如葡萄树. 他的香气如黎巴嫩的酒.

14:8 O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols? I myself have answered and looked after you. I am like a luxuriant cypress; your fruit comes from me.
以法莲必说: 我与偶像还有甚么关涉呢? 我─耶和华回答他, 也必顾念他. 我如青翠的松树; 你的果子从我而得.

14:9 Who is wise that he can understand these things? Who is discerning that he knows them? The ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; but transgressors stumble in them.
谁是智慧人? 可以明白这些事; 谁是通达人? 可以知道这一切. 因为, 耶和华的道是正直的; 义人必在其中行走, 罪人却在其上跌倒.

牠们的形状如马, 奔跑如马兵.

2:5 like the sound of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap about; like the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble; like a strong army arranged in rows for battle.

2:17 Between the colonnade and the altar, let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep. And let them say, “Take pity, Yahweh, on your people. Do not make your inheritance a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the nations, ‘Where is their God?’ ”
事奉耶和华的祭司要在廊子和祭坛中间哭泣, 说: 耶和华啊, 求你顾惜你的百姓, 不要使你的产业受羞辱, 列邦管辖他们. 为何容列国的人说: “他们的神在哪里”呢?

你们必知道我是在以色列中间, 又知道我是耶和华─你们的神; 在我以外并无别神. 我的百姓必永远不致羞愧.

2:28 And it will happen afterward thus: I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your elders will dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.
以后, 我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的. 你们的儿女要说预言; 你们的老年人要做异梦, 少年人要见异象.

2:29 And also on the male slaves and on the female slaves, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
在那些日子, 我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女.

2:30 And I will set wonders in the heavens, and on earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
“在天上地下, 我要显出奇事, 有血, 有火, 有烟柱.

2:31 The sun will be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh.
日头要变为黑暗, 月亮要变为血, 这都在耶和华大而可畏的日子未到以前.

2:32 And it will happen—everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be rescued, because on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh said, and among the survivors whom Yahweh is calling.
到那时候, 凡求告耶和华名的就必得救; 因为照耶和华所说的, 在锡安山, 耶路撒冷必有逃脱的人, 在剩下的人中必有耶和华所召的. ”

Amos - Chapter 5

5:1 Hear this word that I am going to intone over you as a lament, O house of Israel!
以色列家啊, 要听我为你们所作的哀歌:

5:2 Virgin Israel has fallen and will not rise again. She is deserted on her land; there is no one to raise her up.
以色列民(原文是处女)跌倒, 不得再起; 躺在地上, 无人搀扶.

5:3 For thus says my Lord Yahweh, “The city that marches out with a thousand will only have a hundred left. And the one that marches out with a hundred will only have ten left for the house of Israel.”
主耶和华如此说: 以色列家的城发出一千兵的, 只剩一百; 发出一百的, 只剩十个.

5:4 For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel, “Seek me so that you may live.”
耶和华向以色列家如此说: 你们要寻求我, 就必存活.

5:5 But do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile and Bethel will come to disaster.”
不要往伯特利寻求, 不要进入吉甲, 不要过到别是巴; 因为吉甲必被掳掠, 伯特利也必归于无有.

5:6 Seek Yahweh so that you may live, so that he will not break out like a fire against the house of Joseph! And it will devour, with none to quench it for Bethel.
要寻求耶和华, 就必存活, 免得他在约瑟家像火发出, 在伯特利焚烧, 无人扑灭.

5:7 Ah, you who turn justice into wormwood and hurl righteousness to the ground!
你们这使公平变为茵蔯,将公义丢弃于地的,

5:8 The one who made the Pleiades and Orion and who turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens day into night, the one who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name!
要寻求那造昴星和参星, 使死荫变为晨光, 使白日变为黑夜, 命海水来浇在地上的─耶和华是他的名;

5:9 The one who makes destruction flash upon the fierce, so that destruction comes upon the fortification.
他使力强的忽遭灭亡, 以致保障遭遇毁坏.

5:10 They hate the one who reproves in the gate and they abhor the one who speaks honestly.
你们怨恨那在城门口责备人的, 憎恶那说正直话的.

5:11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor and you take a grain tax from them, you built houses of dressed stone, but you will not live in them. You built vineyards of delightfulness, but you will not drink their wine.
你们践踏贫民, 向他们勒索麦子; 你们用凿过的石头建造房屋, 却不得住在其内; 栽种美好的葡萄园, 却不得喝所出的酒.

5:12 For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are numerous, you foes of the righteous, those who take a bribe, and those who push aside the poor ones in the gate!
我知道你们的罪过何等多, 你们的罪恶何等大. 你们苦待义人, 收受贿赂, 在城门口屈枉穷乏人.

5:13 Therefore, whoever has insight will keep silent in that time, for it is a time of evil.
所以通达人见这样的时势必静默不言, 因为时势真恶.

5:14 Seek good and not bad in order that you may live, and so Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
你们要求善, 不要求恶, 就必存活. 这样, 耶和华─万军之神必照你们所说的与你们同在.

5:15 Hate evil and love good and establish justice in the gate; perhaps Yahweh, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
要恶恶好善, 在城门口秉公行义; 或者耶和华─万军之神向约瑟的余民施恩.

5:16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, my Lord, “In all of the public squares there will be wailing, and in all of the streets they will say, ‘Alas, alas, alas!’ They shall call the farmers to mourning and to wailing, to those who are skilled in lamentation.
主耶和华─万军之神如此说: 在一切宽阔处必有哀号的声音; 在各街市上必有人说: 哀哉! 哀哉! 又必叫农夫来哭号, 叫善唱哀歌的来举哀.

5:17 And in all of the vineyards there will be wailing, because I will pass in your midst,” says Yahweh.
在各葡萄园必有哀号的声音, 因为我必从你中间经过. 这是耶和华说的.

5:18 Alas, those who desire the day of Yahweh, why is this for you the day of Yahweh? It will be darkness and not light!
想望耶和华日子来到的有祸了! 你们为何想望耶和华的日子呢? 那日黑暗没有光明,

5:19 It will be as if a man fled from a lion and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall and a snake bit him.
景况好像人躲避狮子又遇见熊, 或是进房屋以手靠墙, 就被蛇咬.

5:20 Is not the day of Yahweh darkness and not light, and pitch dark with no brightness in it?
耶和华的日子不是黑暗没有光明吗? 不是幽暗毫无光辉吗?

5:21 “I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your assemblies.
我厌恶你们的节期, 也不喜悦你们的严肃会.

5:22 Yes, even if you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them, and I will not look at the fellowship offerings of your fattened animals.
你们虽然向我献燔祭和素祭, 我却不悦纳, 也不顾你们用肥畜献的平安祭;

5:23 Remove from me the noise of your songs, and I do not want to hear the melody of your harps!
要使你们歌唱的声音远离我, 因为我不听你们弹琴的响声.

5:24 But let justice roll on like the water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
惟愿公平如大水滚滚, 使公义如江河滔滔.

5:25 Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings those forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
“以色列家啊, 你们在旷野四十年, 岂是将祭物和供物献给我呢?

5:26 And you will take up Sikkuth, your king, and Kaiwan, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.
你们抬着为自己所造之摩洛的帐幕和偶像的龛, 并你们的神星.

5:27 And I will deport you beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh—the God of hosts is his name.
所以我要把你们掳到大马士革以外. ”这是耶和华,名为万军之神说的.

Amos - Chapter 6

6:1 Alas for those being at ease in Zion, and those who feel secure on Mount Samaria, the notables of the best of the nations! The house of Israel resorts to them.
国为列国之首, 人最著名, 且为以色列家所归向, 在锡安和撒马利亚山安逸无虑的, 有祸了!

6:2 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there to Hamath Rabbah and go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms, or is their territory greater than your territory?
你们要过到甲尼察看, 从那里往大城哈马去, 又下到非利士人的迦特. 看那些比你们的国还强吗? 境界比你们的境界还宽吗?

6:3 You that put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of violence!
你们以为降祸的日子还远, 坐在位上尽行强暴(或译: 行强暴使审判临近).

6:4 Alas for those who lie on beds of ivory and lounge on their couches, and those eating young rams from the sheep and goats, and bull-calves from the middle of the animal stall.
你们躺卧在象牙床上, 舒身在榻上, 吃群中的羊羔, 棚里的牛犊;

6:5 Alas for those who sing to the tune of the harp; like David they improvise on instruments of music.
弹琴鼓瑟, 唱消闲的歌曲, 为自己制造乐器, 如同大卫所造的;

6:6 Alas for those who drink from sprinkling bowls of wine and anoint themselves with the best of olive oils and are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph.
以大碗喝酒, 用上等的油抹身, 却不为约瑟的苦难担忧.

6:7 Therefore, they shall now go into exile at the head of the exiles and the feast of lounging shall pass away.
所以这些人必在被掳的人中首先被掳, 舒身的人荒宴之乐必消灭了.

6:8 My Lord Yahweh has sworn by himself, declares Yahweh, the God of hosts: “I abhor the pride of Jacob and I hate his citadel fortresses and I will deliver the city and its fullness!”
主耶和华万军之神指著自己起誓说, 我憎恶雅各的荣华, 厌弃他的宫殿; 因此我必将城和其中所有的都交付敌人.

6:9 And then if ten people remain in one house, they too will die.
那时, 若在一房之内剩下十个人, 也都必死.

6:10 And if one’s relative, who burns the body, lifts it up and brings the body out of the house and he will say to someone in the innermost part of the house, “Are there any more with you?” and he will say, “None,” then he will say, “Silence,” because we must not invoke the name of Yahweh.
死人的伯叔, 就是烧他尸首的, 要将这尸首搬到房外, 问房屋内间的人说: “你那里还有人没有? ”他必说: “没有”; 又说: “不要作声, 因为我们不可提耶和华的名. ”

6:11 Look, Yahweh is going to command and the great house will be destroyed to bits and the little house to pieces.
看哪, 耶和华出令, 大房就被攻破, 小屋就被打裂.

6:12 Do horses run on rocks, or does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood!
马岂能在崖石上奔跑? 人岂能在那里用牛耕种呢? 你们却使公平变为苦胆, 使公义的果子变为茵蔯.

6:13 You who rejoice over Lo-Debar, who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim for ourselves by our strength?”
你们喜爱虚浮的事, 自夸说, 我们不是凭自己的力量取了角吗?

6:14 Indeed, I am going to raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, declares Yahweh, the God of hosts. And they shall oppress you from Lebo-hamath up to the wadi of the Arabah.
耶和华万军之神说: 以色列家啊, 我必兴起一国攻击你们; 他们必欺压你们, 从哈马口直到亚拉巴的河.

Amos - Chapter 7

7:1 This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, he is going to form locusts at the beginning of the sprouting of the second crop, and look, after the mowings of the king.
主耶和华指示我一件事: 为王割菜(或译: 草)之后, 菜又发生; 刚发生的时候, 主造蝗虫.

7:2 And then when they finished eating the vegetation of the land, I said, “O Lord Yahweh, please forgive! How can Jacob stand, because he is small?”
蝗虫吃尽那地的青物, 我就说: “主耶和华啊, 求你赦免; 因为雅各微弱, 他怎能站立得住呢? ”

7:3 Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not be,” said Yahweh.
耶和华就后悔, 说: “这灾可以免了. ”

7:4 This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, my Lord Yahweh was going to call for a legal case with fire, and it devoured the great deep and it ate up the plots of ground.
主耶和华又指示我一件事: 他命火来惩罚以色列, 火就吞灭深渊, 险些将地烧灭.

7:5 Then I said, “O Lord Yahweh, please stop! How can Jacob stand, because he is small?”
我就说: “主耶和华啊, 求你止息; 因为雅各微弱, 他怎能站立得住呢? ”

7:6 Yahweh also relented concerning this. “This also will not be,” said my Lord Yahweh.
耶和华就后悔, 说: “这灾也可免了. ”

7:7 This is what he showed me: Behold, my Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plummet, and a plummet was in his hand.
他又指示我一件事: 有一道墙是按准绳建筑的, 主手拿准绳站在其上.

7:8 And Yahweh said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “A plummet.” And my Lord said, “Look, I am going to set a plummet in the midst of my people, Israel. I will not pass them by again.
耶和华对我说: “阿摩司啊, 你看见甚么? ”我说: “看见准绳. ”主说: “我要吊起准绳在我民以色列中, 我必不再宽恕他们.

7:9 The high places of Isaac shall become desolate and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. And I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
以撒的邱坛必然凄凉, 以色列的圣所必然荒废. 我必兴起, 用刀攻击耶罗波安的家. ”

7:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to endure all of his words.
伯特利的祭司亚玛谢打发人到以色列王耶罗波安那里, 说: “阿摩司在以色列家中图谋背叛你; 他所说的一切话, 这国担当不起;

7:11 For this Amos has said, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly go into exile away from his land.’ ”
因为阿摩司如此说: ‘耶罗波安必被刀杀, 以色列民定被掳去离开本地. ’”

7:12 And Amaziah said to Amos, “O seer, go, flee to the land of Judah and earn food there and prophesy there!”
亚玛谢又对阿摩司说: “你这先见哪, 要逃往犹大地去, 在那里糊口, 在那里说预言,

7:13 But do not prophesy again at Bethel, because this is a sanctuary of a king and this is a temple of a kingdom.”
却不要在伯特利再说预言; 因为这里有王的圣所, 有王的宫殿. ”

7:14 And Amos answered and said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet and I am not a son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman and I am one taking care of sycamore trees.
阿摩司对亚玛谢说: “我原不是先知, 也不是先知的门徒(原文是儿子). 我是牧人, 又是修理桑树的.

7:15 And Yahweh took me from following behind the sheep and goats and Yahweh said to me, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel!
耶和华选召我, 使我不跟从羊群, 对我说: ‘你去向我民以色列说预言. ’

7:16 And so then, hear the word of Yahweh! You are saying, ‘You must not prophesy against Israel and you must not preach against the house of Isaac!’
亚玛谢啊, 现在你要听耶和华的话. 你说: ‘不要向以色列说预言, 也不要向以撒家滴下预言. ’

7:17 Therefore, thus says Yahweh, ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword and your land will be divided with a line, and you will die in an unclean land and Israel will surely go into exile from this land.’ ”
所以耶和华如此说: ‘你的妻子必在城中作妓女, 你的儿女必倒在刀下; 你的地必有人用绳子量了分取, 你自己必死在污秽之地. 以色列民定被掳去离开本地. ’”

Amos - Chapter 8

8:1 My Lord Yahweh showed me this, and there was a basket of summer fruit.
主耶和华又指示我一件事: 我看见一筐夏天的果子.

8:2 And he said, “What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” And Yahweh said to me, “The end has come upon my people Israel. I will not pass by them again!”
他说: “阿摩司啊, 你看见甚么? ”我说: “看见一筐夏天的果子. ”耶和华说: “我民以色列的结局到了, 我必不再宽恕他们. ”

8:3 “And the songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day,” declares my Lord Yahweh. “The corpses are numerous; he throws them in every place. Be quiet!”
主耶和华说: “那日, 殿中的诗歌变为哀号; 必有许多尸首在各处抛弃, 无人作声. ”

8:4 Hear this, those who trample on the poor and who annihilate the afflicted of the land,
你们这些要吞吃穷乏人,使困苦人衰败的, 当听我的话!

8:5 saying, “When will the new moon be over, so that we can sell grain? And the Sabbath, so that we can open the grain bins, that we can make the ephah small and make the shekel large, and can practice deceit with a set of scales of deceit?
你们说: 月朔几时过去, 我们好卖粮; 安息日几时过去, 我们好摆开麦子; 卖出用小升斗, 收银用大戥子, 用诡诈的天平欺哄人,

8:6 That we can buy the powerless with silver and the poor for the sake of a pair of sandals, and we can sell the waste of the grain?”
好用银子买贫寒人, 用一双鞋换穷乏人, 将坏了的麦子卖给人.

8:7 Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I will never forget any of their deeds!
耶和华指著雅各的荣耀起誓说: 他们的一切行为, 我必永远不忘.

8:8 On account of this, will not the land tremble and will not every living thing in it mourn? And all of it will rise like the Nile and it will be tossed about and subside like the Nile of Egypt.
地岂不因这事震动? 其上的居民不也悲哀吗? 地必全然像尼罗河涨起, 如同埃及河涌上落下.

8:9 And then in that day,” declares my Lord Yahweh, “I will make the sun go down at noon and I will darken the land on a day of light.
主耶和华说: 到那日, 我必使日头在午间落下, 使地在白昼黑暗.

8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning and all of your songs into lament, and I will put sackcloth on all loins and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning for an only child, and its end like a bitter day.
我必使你们的节期变为悲哀, 歌曲变为哀歌. 众人腰束麻布, 头上光秃, 使这场悲哀如丧独生子, 至终如痛苦的日子一样.

8:11 Look, the days are coming,” declares my Lord Yahweh, “when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread and not a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh!
主耶和华说: 日子将到, 我必命饥荒降在地上. 人饥饿非因无饼, 干渴非因无水, 乃因不听耶和华的话.

8:12 And they will wander from sea to sea and from the north and to the east. They will roam about to seek the word of Yahweh, but they will not find it!
他们必飘流, 从这海到那海, 从北边到东边, 往来奔跑, 寻求耶和华的话, 却寻不著.

8:13 In that day the beautiful young women and the young men will faint because of thirst.
当那日, 美貌的处女和少年的男子必因干渴发昏.

8:14 These are those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘By the life of your gods, O Dan,’ and ‘By the life of the way of Beersheba,’ they will fall and they will not rise again.”
那指著撒马利亚牛犊(原文是罪)起誓的说: 但哪, 我们指着你那里的活神起誓; 又说: 我们指著别是巴的神道(神: 原文是活)起誓. 这些人都必仆倒, 永不再起来.

Amos - Chapter 9

9:1 I saw my Lord standing by the altar and he said, “Strike the capitals so that the thresholds will shake, and shatter them on the head of all of them, and I will kill the rest of them with the sword. A fugitive belonging to them will not run away, and a survivor belonging to them will not escape.
我看见主站在祭坛旁边; 他说: 你要击打柱顶, 使门槛震动, 打碎柱顶, 落在众人头上; 所剩下的人, 我必用刀杀戮, 无一人能逃避, 无一人能逃脱.

9:2 If they dig into Sheol, from there my hand will take them, and even if they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down.
他们虽然挖透阴间, 我的手必取出他们来; 虽然爬上天去, 我必拿下他们来;

9:3 And even if they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, from there I will search and will take them, and even if they hide from before my eyes at the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the sea serpent and it will bite them.
虽然藏在迦密山顶, 我必搜寻, 捉出他们来; 虽然从我眼前藏在海底, 我必命蛇咬他们;

9:4 And even if they go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword and it will kill them, and I will fix my eyes on them for harm and not for good.”
虽被仇敌掳去, 我必命刀剑杀戮他们; 我必向他们定住眼目, 降祸不降福.

9:5 And thus will do the Lord Yahweh of hosts, who touches the earth and it melts, and all of those living in it mourn, and all of it rises like the Nile and it sinks down like the Nile of Egypt,
主─万军之耶和华摸地, 地就消化, 凡住在地上的都必悲哀. 地必全然像尼罗河涨起, 如同埃及河落下.

9:6 who builds his upper chambers in the heavens and lays the foundation of his vault on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.
那在天上建造楼阁,在地上安定穹苍,命海水浇在地上的─耶和华是他的名.

9:7 “Are you not like the Cushites to me, O people of Israel?” declares Yahweh. “Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?
耶和华说: 以色列人哪, 我岂不看你们如古实人吗? 我岂不是领以色列人出埃及地, 领非利士人出迦斐托, 领亚兰人出吉珥吗?

9:8 Look, the eyes of my Lord Yahweh are on the kingdom of sin, and I will destroy it from the surface of the earth. However, I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” declares Yahweh.
主耶和华的眼目察看这有罪的国, 必将这国从地上灭绝, 却不将雅各家灭绝净尽. 这是耶和华说的.

9:9 “Yes, look, I am going to command and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations like one who shakes with a sieve, but not a pebble will fall to the ground.
我必出令, 将以色列家分散在列国中, 好像用筛子筛谷, 连一粒也不落在地上.

9:10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil will not overtake or confront us.’
我民中的一切罪人说: 灾祸必追不上我们, 也迎不着我们. 他们必死在刀下.

9:11 On that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen, and I will repair its breaches and will raise up its ruins and will build it like the days of old.
到那日, 我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕, 堵住其中的破口, 把那破坏的建立起来, 重新修造, 像古时一样,

9:12 Thus they may take possession of the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” declares Yahweh, who does this.
使以色列人得以东所余剩的和所有称为我名下的国. 此乃行这事的耶和华说的.

9:13 “Look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh, “when the one who plows will overtake the one who reaps, the one who treads grapes will catch up with the one who sows the seed. And the mountains will drip sweet wine and all of the hills will flow with it.
耶和华说: 日子将到, 耕种的必接续收割的; 踹葡萄的必接续撒种的; 大山要滴下甜酒; 小山都必流奶(原文是消化, 见约珥三章十八节).

9:14 And I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they will rebuild the desolated cities and will inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards and will drink their wine, and they will make gardens and will eat their fruit.
我必使我民以色列被掳的归回; 他们必重修荒废的城邑居住, 栽种葡萄园, 喝其中所出的酒, 修造果木园, 吃其中的果子.

9:15 And I will plant them on their land and they will not be uprooted again from their land that I have given to them,” says Yahweh your God.
我要将他们栽于本地, 他们不再从我所赐给他们的地上拔出来. 这是耶和华─你的神说的.

Obadiah (俄巴底亚书)

Obadiah - Chapter 1

1:1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says my Lord Yahweh concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Rise up and let us rise against it for battle.”
俄巴底亚得了耶和华的默示. 论以东说: 我从耶和华那里听见信息, 并有使者被差往列国去, 说: 起来吧, 一同起来与以东争战!

1:2 “Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be utterly despised!
我使你─以东在列国中为最小的, 被人大大藐视.

1:3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of a rock, the heights of its dwelling, you who say in your heart: ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
住在山穴中,居所在高处的啊, 你因狂傲自欺, 心里说: 谁能将我拉下地去呢?

1:4 Even if you soar like the eagle, even if your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down!” declares Yahweh:
你虽如大鹰高飞, 在星宿之间搭窝, 我必从那里拉下你来. 这是耶和华说的.

1:5 “If thieves came to you, if plunderers of the night—How you have been destroyed!—would they not steal what they wanted? If grape gatherers came, would they not leave gleanings?
盗贼若来在你那里, 或强盗夜间而来─你何竟被剪除─岂不偷窃直到够了呢? 摘葡萄的若来到你那里, 岂不剩下些葡萄呢?

1:6 How Esau has been pillaged; his treasures have been ransacked!
以扫的隐密处何竟被搜寻? 他隐藏的宝物何竟被查出?

1:7 All of your allies have driven you up to the boundary; your confederates have deceived you and have prevailed against you. Those who eat your bread have set an ambush for you, there is no understanding of it.
与你结盟的都送你上路, 直到交界; 与你和好的欺骗你, 且胜过你; 与你一同吃饭的设下网罗陷害你; 在你心里毫无聪明.

1:8 On that day,” declares Yahweh, “will I not destroy the wise men from Edom, and understanding from the mountain of Esau?
耶和华说: 到那日, 我岂不从以东除灭智慧人? 从以扫山除灭聪明人?

1:9 And your warriors will be shattered, O Teman, so that everyone from the mountain of Esau will be cut off because of the slaughter!
提幔哪, 你的勇士必惊惶, 甚至以扫山的人都被杀戮剪除.

1:10 “Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you and you will be cut off forever.
因你向兄弟雅各行强暴, 羞愧必遮盖你, 你也必永远断绝.

1:11 On the day you stood nearby, on the day strangers took his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots over Jerusalem, you were also like one of them.
当外人掳掠雅各的财物, 外邦人进入他的城门, 为耶路撒冷拈阄的日子, 你竟站在一旁, 像与他们同伙.

1:12 But you should not have gloated over your brother’s day, on the day of his misfortune, and you should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah on the day of their perishing, and you should not have opened your mouth wide on the day of distress.
你兄弟遭难的日子, 你不当瞪眼看着; 犹大人被灭的日子, 你不当因此欢乐; 他们遭难的日子, 你不当说狂傲的话.

1:13 You should not have entered the gate of my people on the day of their disaster. You also should not have gloated over his misery on the day of his disaster, and you should not have stretched out your hands on the day of his disaster.
我民遭灾的日子, 你不当进他们的城门; 他们遭灾的日子, 你不当瞪眼看着他们受苦; 他们遭灾的日子, 你不当伸手抢他们的财物;

1:14 And you should not have stood at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives and you should not have handed over his survivors on the day of distress.
你不当站在岔路口剪除他们中间逃脱的; 他们遭难的日子, 你不当将他们剩下的人交付仇敌.

1:15 “For the day of Yahweh is near against all the nations! Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return on your own head.
耶和华降罚的日子临近万国. 你怎样行, 他也必照样向你行; 你的报应必归到你头上.

1:16 For just as you have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and they will slurp, and they will be as if they had never been.
你们犹大人在我圣山怎样喝了苦杯, 万国也必照样常常地喝; 且喝且咽, 他们就归于无有.

1:17 But on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take possession of their dispossessors.
在锡安山必有逃脱的人, 那山也必成圣; 雅各家必得原有的产业.

1:18 And the house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; and they will set them on fire and will consume them. And there will not be a survivor for the house of Esau,” for Yahweh has spoken.
雅各家必成为大火; 约瑟家必为火焰; 以扫家必如碎秸; 火必将他烧着吞灭. 以扫家必无余剩的. 这是耶和华说的.

1:19 Those of the Negev will take possession of the mountain of Esau, and those of the Shephelah will possess the land of the Philistines, and they shall take possession of the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria, and Benjamin will take possession of Gilead.
南地的人必得以扫山; 高原的人必得非利士地, 也得以法莲地和撒马利亚地; 便雅悯人必得基列.

1:20 And the exiles of this army of the people of Israel will possess Canaan up to Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will take possession of the cities of the Negev.
在迦南人中被掳的以色列众人必得地直到撒勒法; 在西法拉中被掳的耶路撒冷人必得南地的城邑.

1:21 And those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to rule the mountain of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
必有拯救者上到锡安山, 审判以扫山; 国度就归耶和华了.

Jonah (约拿书)

Jonah - Chapter 1

1:1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
耶和华的话临到亚米太的儿子约拿, 说:

1:2 “Get up! Go to the great city Nineveh and cry out against her, because their evil has come up before me.”
“你起来往尼尼微大城去, 向其中的居民呼喊, 因为他们的恶达到我面前. ”

1:3 But Jonah set out to flee toward Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. And he went down to Joppa and found a merchant ship going to Tarshish, and paid her fare, and went on board her to go with them toward Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
约拿却起来, 逃往他施去躲避耶和华; 下到约帕, 遇见一只船, 要往他施去. 他就给了船价, 上了船, 要与船上的人同往他施去躲避耶和华.

1:4 And Yahweh hurled a great wind upon the sea, and it was a great storm on the sea, and the merchant ship was in danger of breaking up.
然而耶和华使海中起大风, 海就狂风大作, 甚至船几乎破坏.

1:5 And the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they threw the contents that were in the merchant ship into the sea to lighten it for them. And meanwhile Jonah went down into the hold of the vessel and lay down and fell asleep.
水手便惧怕, 各人哀求自己的神. 他们将船上的货物抛在海中, 为要使船轻些. 约拿已下到底舱, 躺卧沉睡.

1:6 And the captain of the ship approached him and said to him, “Why are you sound asleep? Get up! Call on your god! Perhaps your god will take notice of us and we won’t perish!”
船主到他那里对他说: “你这沉睡的人哪, 为何这样呢? 起来, 求告你的神, 或者神顾念我们, 使我们不致灭亡. ”

1:7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots so that we may know on whose account this disaster has come on us!” And they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
船上的人彼此说: “来吧, 我们掣签, 看看这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故. ”于是他们掣签, 掣出约拿来.

1:8 So they said to him, “Please tell us whoever is responsible that this disaster has come upon us! What is your occupation? And from where do you come? What is your country? And from which people are you?”
众人对他说: “请你告诉我们, 这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故? 你以何事为业? 你从哪里来? 你是哪一国? 属哪一族的人? ”

1:9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
他说: “我是希伯来人. 我敬畏耶和华─那创造沧海旱地之天上的神. ”

1:10 Then the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him, “What is this you have done?” because they knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh (because he had told them).
他们就大大惧怕, 对他说: “你做的是甚么事呢? ”他们已经知道他躲避耶和华, 因为他告诉了他们.

1:11 So they said to him, “What shall we do to you so that the sea may quiet down for us?” because the sea was growing more and more tempestuous.
他们问他说: “我们当向你怎样行, 使海浪平静呢? ”这话是因海浪越发翻腾.

1:12 And he said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea so that the sea may quiet down for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you all.”
他对他们说: “你们将我抬起来, 抛在海中, 海就平静了; 我知道你们遭这大风是因我的缘故. ”

1:13 But the men rowed hard to bring the ship back to the dry land, and they could not do so because the sea was growing more and more tempestuous against them.
然而那些人竭力荡桨, 要把船拢岸, 却是不能, 因为海浪越发向他们翻腾.

1:14 So they cried out to Yahweh, and they said, “O Yahweh! Please do not let us perish because of this man’s life, and do not make us guilty of innocent blood, because you, O Yahweh, did what you wanted.”
他们便求告耶和华说: “耶和华啊, 我们恳求你, 不要因这人的性命使我们死亡, 不要使流无辜血的罪归与我们; 因为你─耶和华是随自己的意旨行事. ”

1:15 And they picked Jonah up and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
他们遂将约拿抬起, 抛在海中, 海的狂浪就平息了.

1:16 So the men feared Yahweh greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh and made vows.
那些人便大大敬畏耶和华, 向耶和华献祭, 并且许愿.

1:17 And Yahweh provided a large fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
耶和华安排一条大鱼吞了约拿, 他在鱼腹中三日三夜.

Jonah - Chapter 2

2:1 And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish
约拿在鱼腹中祷告耶和华─他的神,

2:2 and said, “I called from my distress to Yahweh, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried for help— you heard my voice.
说: 我遭遇患难求告耶和华, 你就应允我; 从阴间的深处呼求, 你就俯听我的声音.

2:3 And you threw me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the sea currents surrounded me; all your breakers and your surging waves passed over me.
你将我投下深渊, 就是海的深处; 大水环绕我, 你的波浪洪涛都漫过我身.

2:4 And I said, ‘I am banished from your sight; how will I continue to look on your holy temple?’
我说: 我从你眼前虽被驱逐, 我仍要仰望你的圣殿.

2:5 The waters encompassed me up to my neck; the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
诸水环绕我, 几乎淹没我; 深渊围住我; 海草缠绕我的头.

2:6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains; the Underworld—its bars were around me forever. But you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.
我下到山根, 地的门将我永远关住. 耶和华─我的神啊, 你却将我的性命从坑中救出来.

2:7 When my life was ebbing away from me, I remembered Yahweh, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
我心在我里面发昏的时候, 我就想念耶和华. 我的祷告进入你的圣殿, 达到你的面前.

2:8 Those who worship vain idols forsake their loyal love.
那信奉虚无之神的人, 离弃怜爱他们的主;

2:9 But I, with a voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you; I will fulfill what I have vowed. Deliverance belongs to Yahweh!”
但我必用感谢的声音献祭与你. 我所许的愿, 我必偿还. 救恩出于耶和华.

2:10 And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.
耶和华吩咐鱼, 鱼就把约拿吐在旱地上.

Jonah - Chapter 3

3:1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah a second time, saying,
耶和华的话二次临到约拿说:

3:2 “Get up! Go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the message that I am telling you.”
“你起来! 往尼尼微大城去, 向其中的居民宣告我所吩咐你的话. ”

3:3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an extraordinarily great city—a journey of three days across.
约拿便照耶和华的话起来, 往尼尼微去. 这尼尼微是极大的城, 有三日的路程.

3:4 And Jonah began to go into the city a journey of one day, and he cried out and said, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be demolished!”
约拿进城走了一日, 宣告说: “再等四十日, 尼尼微必倾覆了! ”

3:5 And the people of Nineveh believed in God, and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth—from the greatest of them to the least important.
尼尼微人信服神, 便宣告禁食, 从最大的到至小的都穿麻衣(或译: 披上麻布).

3:6 And the news reached the king of Nineveh, and he rose from his throne and removed his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.
这信息传到尼尼微王的耳中, 他就下了宝座, 脱下朝服, 披上麻布, 坐在灰中.

3:7 And he had a proclamation made, and said, “In Nineveh, by a decree of the king and his nobles: “No human being or animal, no herd or flock, shall taste anything! They must not eat, and they must not drink water!
他又使人遍告尼尼微通城, 说: “王和大臣有令, 人不可尝甚么, 牲畜,牛羊不可吃草, 也不可喝水.

3:8 And the human beings and the animals must be covered with sackcloth! And they must call forcefully to God, and each must turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
人与牲畜都当披上麻布; 人要切切求告神. 各人回头离开所行的恶道, 丢弃手中的强暴.

3:9 Who knows? God may relent and change his mind and turn from his blazing anger so that we will not perish.”
或者神转意后悔, 不发烈怒, 使我们不致灭亡, 也未可知. ”

3:10 And God saw their deeds—that they turned from their evil ways—and God changed his mind about the evil that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it.
于是神察看他们的行为, 见他们离开恶道, 他就后悔, 不把所说的灾祸降与他们了.

Jonah - Chapter 4

4:1 And this was greatly displeasing to Jonah, and he became furious.
这事约拿大大不悦, 且甚发怒,

4:2 And he prayed to Yahweh and said, “O Yahweh, was this not what I said while I was in my homeland? Therefore I originally fled to Tarshish, because I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and having great steadfast love, and one who relents concerning calamity.
就祷告耶和华说: “耶和华啊, 我在本国的时候岂不是这样说吗? 我知道你是有恩典,有怜悯的神, 不轻易发怒, 有丰盛的慈爱, 并且后悔不降所说的灾, 所以我急速逃往他施去.

4:3 And so then, Yahweh, please take my life from me, because for me death is better than life!”
耶和华啊, 现在求你取我的命吧! 因为我死了比活着还好. ”

4:4 And Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
耶和华说: “你这样发怒合乎理吗? ”

4:5 And Jonah went out from the city and sat down east of the city, and he made for himself a shelter there. And he sat under it in the shade, waiting to see what would happen with the city.
于是约拿出城, 坐在城的东边, 在那里为自己搭了一座棚, 坐在棚的荫下, 要看看那城究竟如何.

4:6 And Yahweh God appointed a plant, and he made it grow up over Jonah to be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. And Jonah was very glad about the plant.
耶和华神安排一棵蓖麻, 使其发生高过约拿, 影儿遮盖他的头, 救他脱离苦楚; 约拿因这棵蓖麻大大喜乐.

4:7 So God appointed a worm at daybreak the next day, and it attacked the plant, and it withered.
次日黎明, 神却安排一条虫子咬这蓖麻, 以致枯槁.

4:8 And when the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah’s head and he grew faint. And he asked that he could die and said, “My death is better than my life!”
日头出来的时候, 神安排炎热的东风, 日头曝晒约拿的头, 使他发昏, 他就为自己求死, 说: “我死了比活著还好! ”

4:9 So God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?” And he said, “It is right for me to be angry enough to die!”
神对约拿说: “你因这棵蓖麻发怒合乎理吗? ”他说: “我发怒以至于死, 都合乎理! ”

4:10 But Yahweh said, “You are troubled about the plant, for which you did not labor nor cause it to grow. It grew up in a night and it perished in a night!
耶和华说: “这蓖麻不是你栽种的, 也不是你培养的; 一夜发生, 一夜干死, 你尚且爱惜;

4:11 And should I not be concerned about Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand people who do not know right from left, plus many animals?”
何况这尼尼微大城, 其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二万多人, 并有许多牲畜, 我岂能不爱惜呢? ”

Micah (弥迦书)

Micah - Chapter 1

1:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, that he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:
当犹大王约坦,亚哈斯,希西家在位的时候, 摩利沙人弥迦得耶和华的默示, 论撒马利亚和耶路撒冷.

1:2 Hear, all you peoples; give heed, O earth and its fullness. And let the Lord Yahweh be against you as a witness, the Lord from his holy temple.
万民哪, 你们都要听! 地和其上所有的, 也都要侧耳而听! 主耶和华从他的圣殿要见证你们的不是.

1:3 For behold, Yahweh is coming out from his place, and he will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.
看哪, 耶和华出了他的居所, 降临步行地的高处.

1:4 The mountains will melt under him and the valleys will burst open, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
众山在他以下必消化, 诸谷必崩裂, 如蜡化在火中, 如水冲下山坡.

1:5 All this is for the rebellion of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the rebellion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem?
这都因雅各的罪过, 以色列家的罪恶. 雅各的罪过在哪里呢? 岂不是在撒马利亚吗? 犹大的邱坛在哪里呢? 岂不是在耶路撒冷吗?

1:6 So I will make Samaria as a heap of rubble in the field, a place for planting a vineyard. And I will pour down her stones into the valley and uncover her foundations.
所以我必使撒马利亚变为田野的乱堆, 又作为种葡萄之处; 也必将她的石头倒在谷中, 露出根基来.

1:7 Then all her idols will be broken in pieces, and all her prostitution wages will be burned in the fire, and all her idols I will make a desolation, For from the wage of a prostitute she gathered them, and to the wage of a prostitute they will return.
她一切雕刻的偶像必被打碎; 她所得的财物必被火烧; 所有的偶像我必毁灭; 因为是从妓女雇价所聚来的, 后必归为妓女的雇价.

1:8 On account of this I will lament and wail. I will go about barefoot and naked. I will make a lamentation like the jackals, and a mourning ceremony like the ostriches.

Micah - Chapter 2

2:1 Woe to those who plan wickedness and evil deeds upon their beds! In the light of the morning they did it, because they have power in their hands.
祸哉, 那些在床上图谋罪孽,造作奸恶的! 天一发亮, 因手有能力就行出来了.

2:2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and they take them away. They oppress a man and his house; a man and his inheritance.
他们贪图田地就占据, 贪图房屋便夺取; 他们欺压人, 霸占房屋和产业.

2:3 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: Look! I am planning disaster against this family from which you will not be able to remove your necks. You will not walk proudly, for it is a time of disaster.
所以耶和华如此说: 我筹划灾祸降与这族; 这祸在你们的颈项上不能解脱; 你们也不能昂首而行, 因为这时势是恶的.

2:4 In that day they will raise a proverb against you, and will wail a bitter wailing, saying, “We are utterly ruined; he exchanges the portion of my people. How he removes it from me; he apportions our field to an apostate.”
到那日, 必有人向你们提起悲惨的哀歌, 讥刺说: 我们全然败落了! 耶和华将我们的分转归别人, 何竟使这分离开我们? 他将我们的田地分给悖逆的人.

2:5 Therefore you will have no one casting a line by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
所以在耶和华的会中, 你必没有人拈阄拉准绳.

他们(或译: 假先知)说: 你们不可说预言; 不可向这些人说预言, 不住地羞辱我们.

2:7 Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Is the patience of Yahweh shortened? Are these his deeds? Are my words not pleasing to him who walks upright?
雅各家啊, 岂可说耶和华的心不忍耐吗(或译: 心肠狭窄吗)? 这些事是他所行的吗? 我─耶和华的言语岂不是与行动正直的人有益吗?

2:8 But recently my people have risen up as an enemy; from before the cloak you strip off the robe from those passing by in confidence, returning from war.
然而, 近来我的民兴起如仇敌, 从那些安然经过不愿打仗之人身上剥去外衣.

Micah - Chapter 3

3:1 And I said, “Listen, O heads of Jacob and leaders of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?
我说: 雅各的首领, 以色列家的官长啊, 你们要听! 你们不当知道公平吗?

3:2 Those of you who are haters of good and lovers of evil, who tear their skin from them and their flesh from their bones,
你们恶善好恶, 从人身上剥皮, 从人骨头上剔肉,

3:3 and who eat the flesh of my people, and strip their skin from them, and break their bones, and chop them like meat in the pot, and like flesh in the midst of a cooking pot.”
吃我民的肉, 剥他们的皮, 打折他们的骨头, 分成块子像要下锅, 又像釜中的肉.

3:4 Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. He will hide his face from them at that time, when they have made their deeds evil.
到了遭灾的时候, 这些人必哀求耶和华, 他却不应允他们. 那时他必照他们所行的恶事向他们掩面.

3:5 Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who are leading my people astray, who are biting with their teeth and proclaim, “Peace,” but whoever puts nothing into their mouths they declare war against.
论到使我民走差路的先知─他们牙齿有所嚼的, 他们就呼喊说: 平安了! 凡不供给他们吃的, 他们就预备攻击他(预备攻击他: 或译说必遭遇刀兵)─耶和华如此说:

3:6 Therefore it will be as night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. And the sun will set on the prophets, and the day will grow dark over them.
你们必遭遇黑夜, 以致不见异象; 又必遭遇幽暗, 以致不能占卜. 日头必向你们沉落, 白昼变为黑暗.

3:7 Then the seers will be disgraced, and those practicing divination will be put to shame. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no reply from God.
先见必抱愧, 占卜的必蒙羞, 都必摀著嘴唇, 因为神不应允他们.

3:8 But I, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of Yahweh, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his rebellion, and to Israel his sin.
至于我, 我藉耶和华的灵, 满有力量,公平,才能, 可以向雅各说明他的过犯, 向以色列指出他的罪恶.

3:9 Hear this, O rulers of the house of Jacob and leaders of the house of Israel, those detesting justice and perverting all that is right,
雅各家的首领,以色列家的官长啊, 当听我的话! 你们厌恶公平, 在一切事上屈枉正直;

3:10 he who builds Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wickedness.
以人血建立锡安, 以罪孽建造耶路撒冷.

3:11 Its rulers judge for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money. But they lean on Yahweh, saying, “Is not Yahweh in our midst? Disaster will not come upon us.”
首领为贿赂行审判; 祭司为雇价施训诲; 先知为银钱行占卜. 他们却倚赖耶和华, 说: 耶和华不是在我们中间吗? 灾祸必不临到我们.

3:12 Therefore on account of you Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will be a heap of rubble, and the temple mount as a high place in a forest.
所以因你们的缘故, 锡安必被耕种像一块田, 耶路撒冷必变为乱堆; 这殿的山必像丛林的高处.

Micah - Chapter 4

4:1 And it will be that at the end of those days, the mountain of Yahweh will be established as the highest of the mountains, and it will be lifted up above the hills, and people will stream to it.
末后的日子, 耶和华殿的山必坚立, 超乎诸山, 高举过于万岭; 万民都要流归这山.

4:2 And many nations will come and say, “Come! Let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, and to the temple of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his paths,” for the law will go out from Zion, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
必有许多国的民前往, 说: 来吧, 我们登耶和华的山, 奔雅各神的殿. 主必将他的道教训我们; 我们也要行他的路. 因为训诲必出于锡安; 耶和华的言语必出于耶路撒冷.

4:3 And he will judge between many peoples and will arbitrate for strong nations far away; and they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift up a sword against a nation, and they will no longer learn war.
他必在多国的民中施行审判, 为远方强盛的国断定是非. 他们要将刀打成犁头, 把枪打成镰刀. 这国不举刀攻击那国; 他们也不再学习战事.

4:4 But they will sit, each under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken.
人人都要坐在自己葡萄树下和无花果树下, 无人惊吓. 这是万军之耶和华亲口说的.

4:5 For all the nations walk, each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God, forever and ever.
万民各奉己神的名而行; 我们却永永远远奉耶和华─我们神的名而行.

4:6 “In that day,” declares Yahweh, “I will assemble the one who limps, and I will gather the one who has been scattered, and those whom I have mistreated.
耶和华说: 到那日, 我必聚集瘸腿的, 招聚被赶出的和我所惩治的.

4:7 And I will make the one who limps a remnant, and the one driven far away a strong nation, and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from now to forever.
我必使瘸腿的为余剩之民, 使赶到远方的为强盛之民. 耶和华要在锡安山作王治理他们, 从今直到永远.

4:8 And you, O Migdal-Eder, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, and the former dominion will come, the reign of the daughter of Jerusalem.
你这羊群的高台,锡安城(原文是女子)的山哪, 从前的权柄─就是耶路撒冷民(原文是女子)的国权─必归与你.

4:9 So then, why do you shout a loud shout? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished that pangs like a woman in labor have seized you?
现在你为何大声哭号呢? 疼痛抓住你仿佛产难的妇人, 是因你中间没有君王吗? 你的谋士灭亡了吗?

4:10 Writhe and groan, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will go forth from the city, and you will camp in the field; you will go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; there Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
锡安的民(原文是女子)哪, 你要疼痛劬劳, 仿佛产难的妇人; 因为你必从城里出来, 住在田野, 到巴比伦去. 在那里要蒙解救; 在那里耶和华必救赎你脱离仇敌的手.

4:11 And now, many nations are gathered against you who are saying, ‘Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.’
现在有许多国的民聚集攻击你, 说: 愿锡安被玷污! 愿我们亲眼见她遭报!

4:12 But they do not know the thoughts of Yahweh, and they do not understand his plan, that he has gathered them as sheaves to his threshing floor.
他们却不知道耶和华的意念, 也不明白他的筹划. 他聚集他们, 好像把禾捆聚到禾场一样.

4:13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for your horn I will make as iron and your hooves as bronze. And you will break many peoples in pieces, and their gain you will devote to destruction to Yahweh, and their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.”
锡安的民(原文是女子)哪, 起来踹谷吧! 我必使你的角成为铁, 使你的蹄成为铜. 你必打碎多国的民, 将他们的财献与耶和华, 将他们的货献与普天下的主.

Micah - Chapter 5

5:1 Now muster troops, O daughter of troops; a siege he puts against us. They strike the ruler of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
成群的民(原文是女子)哪, 现在你要聚集成队; 因为仇敌围攻我们, 要用杖击打以色列审判者的脸.

伯利恒的以法他啊, 你在犹大诸城中为小, 将来必有一位从你那里出来, 在以色列中为我作掌权的; 他的根源从亘古, 从太初就有.

5:3 Therefore he will give them up until the time of she who is with child has given birth. And the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
耶和华必将以色列人交付敌人, 直等那生产的妇人生下子来. 那时掌权者(原文是他)其余的弟兄必归到以色列人那里.

5:6 And they will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at its entrances. And he will rescue us from the Assyrian when he comes into our land, and when they tread upon our border.
他们必用刀剑毁坏亚述地和宁录地的关口. 亚述人进入我们的地境践踏的时候, 他必拯救我们.

以色列人哪, 当听耶和华的话! 要起来向山岭争辩, 使冈陵听你的话.

我的百姓啊, 我向你做了甚么呢? 我在甚么事上使你厌烦? 你可以对我证明.

我曾将你从埃及地领出来, 从作奴仆之家救赎你; 我也差遣摩西,亚伦, 和米利暗在你前面行.

因为你守暗利的恶规, 行亚哈家一切所行的, 顺从他们的计谋; 因此, 我必使你荒凉, 使你的居民令人嗤笑, 你们也必担当我民的羞辱.

Micah - Chapter 7

7:1 Woe is me! For I have become like the gatherings of summer, like the gleanings of the grape harvest, when there is no cluster of grapes to eat or early ripened fruit that my soul desires.
哀哉! 我(或译: 以色列)好像夏天的果子已被收尽, 又像摘了葡萄所剩下的, 没有一挂可吃的; 我心羡慕初熟的无花果.

7:2 The faithful person has perished from the land, and there is none who is upright among humankind. All of them lie in wait; each hunts his brother with a net.
地上虔诚人灭尽; 世间没有正直人; 各人埋伏, 要杀人流血, 都用网罗猎取弟兄.

7:3 Their hands are upon evil, to do it well; the official and the judge ask for the bribe, and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; and they weave it together.
他们双手作恶; 君王徇情面, 审判官要贿赂; 位分大的吐出恶意, 都彼此结联行恶.

7:4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchman, your punishment, has come; now their confusion will come.
他们最好的, 不过是蒺藜; 最正直的, 不过是荆棘篱笆. 你守望者说, 降罚的日子已经来到. 他们必扰乱不安.

7:5 Do not put faith in a friend; put no trust in a close friend. Guard the doorways of your mouth from the one who lies in your lap.
不要倚赖邻舍; 不要信靠密友. 要守住你的口; 不要向你怀中的妻提说.

7:6 For a son treats a father with contempt; a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; the enemies of a man are the men of his own house.
因为, 儿子藐视父亲; 女儿抗拒母亲; 媳妇抗拒婆婆; 人的仇敌就是自己家里的人.

7:7 But as for me, I will look to Yahweh; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
至于我, 我要仰望耶和华, 要等候那救我的神; 我的神必应允我.

7:8 You should not rejoice over me, O my enemy! When I fall I will stand up; when I sit in darkness Yahweh will be a light for me.
我的仇敌啊, 不要向我夸耀. 我虽跌倒, 却要起来; 我虽坐在黑暗里, 耶和华却作我的光.

7:9 I will bear the rage of Yahweh, for I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes my justice. He will bring me out to the light; I will see his righteousness.
我要忍受耶和华的恼怒; 因我得罪了他, 直等他为我辨屈, 为我伸冤. 他必领我到光明中; 我必得见他的公义.

7:10 Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look upon her; now she will become a trampling place, like mud in the streets.
那时我的仇敌, 就是曾对我说“耶和华─你神在哪里”的, 他一看见这事就被羞愧遮盖. 我必亲眼见他遭报; 他必被践踏, 如同街上的泥土.

7:11 A day for building your walls; on that day he will extend your boundary.
以色列啊, 日子必到, 你的墙垣必重修; 到那日, 你的境界必开展(或译: 命令必传到远方).

7:12 On that day he will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the River, and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
当那日, 人必从亚述, 从埃及的城邑, 从埃及到大河, 从这海到那海, 从这山到那山, 都归到你这里.

7:13 But the earth will be a desolation because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their deeds.
然而, 这地因居民的缘故, 又因他们行事的结果, 必然荒凉.

7:14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, those dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
求耶和华在迦密山的树林中, 用你的杖牧放你独居的民, 就是你产业的羊群. 求你容他们在巴珊和基列得食物, 像古时一样.

7:15 As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt I will show him wondrous things.
耶和华说: 我要把奇事显给他们看, 好像出埃及地的时候一样.

7:16 The nations will see and be ashamed because of all their might. They will lay the hand on the mouth; their ears will be deaf.
列国看见这事就必为自己的势力惭愧; 他们必用手摀口, 掩耳不听.

7:17 They will lick the dust like the serpent, like the crawling things of the earth. They will come trembling from their strongholds to Yahweh our God. Let them fear and be afraid of you.
他们必舔土如蛇, 又如土中腹行的物, 战战兢兢地出他们的营寨. 他们必战惧投降耶和华, 也必因我们的神而惧怕.

7:18 Who is a God like you, forgiving sin and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, for he delights in loyal love.
神啊, 有何神像你, 赦免罪孽, 饶恕你产业之余民的罪过, 不永远怀怒, 喜爱施恩?

7:19 He will again have compassion on us; he will trample our iniquities. And you will hurl all their sins in the depths of the sea.
必再怜悯我们, 将我们的罪孽踏在脚下, 又将我们的一切罪投于深海.

7:20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and loyal love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors from the days of old.

Nahum - Chapter 1

1:1 The oracle concerning Nineveh— the scroll of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
论尼尼微的默示, 就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示.

1:2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging; Yahweh is avenging and full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance against his enemies; he rages against his adversaries.
耶和华是忌邪施报的神. 耶和华施报大有忿怒; 向他的敌人施报, 向他的仇敌怀怒.

耶和华不轻易发怒, 大有能力, 万不以有罪的为无罪. 他乘旋风和暴风而来, 云彩为他脚下的尘土.

1:4 He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon languishes.
他斥责海, 使海干了, 使一切江河干涸. 巴珊和迦密的树林衰残; 黎巴嫩的花草也衰残了.

1:5 Mountains quake before him; the hills shake apart. The earth heaves before him— the world and all her inhabitants.
大山因他震动; 小山也都消化. 大地在他面前突起; 世界和住在其间的也都如此.

1:6 His indignation—who can stand before it? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; rocks are shattered before him.
他发忿恨, 谁能立得住呢? 他发烈怒, 谁能当得起呢? 他的忿怒如火倾倒; 磐石因他崩裂.

耶和华本为善, 在患难的日子为人的保障, 并且认得那些投靠他的人.

1:8 But with a rushing torrent he will bring Nineveh to an end; he will chase his enemies into darkness.
但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微, 又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗.

1:9 What do you plot against Yahweh? He will completely destroy it; trouble will not rise up a second time!
尼尼微人哪, 设何谋攻击耶和华呢? 他必将你们灭绝净尽; 灾难不再兴起.

1:10 For like entangled thorns, and like their drink which is drunk, they will be consumed like fully dry chaff.
你们像丛杂的荆棘, 像喝醉了的人, 又如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭.

1:11 From you goes out one who plots evil against Yahweh, one who plans wickedness.
有一人从你那里出来, 图谋邪恶, 设恶计攻击耶和华.

1:12 Yahweh says this: “Even though they are powerful and likewise many, even so they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
耶和华如此说: 尼尼微虽然势力充足, 人数繁多, 也被剪除, 归于无有. 犹大啊, 我虽然使你受苦, 却不再使你受苦.

1:13 And now, I will break his yoke from upon you; I will snap your bonds.”
现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭, 扭开他的绳索.

1:14 Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “Your name will no longer be sown. I will cut off the idols and images from the temple of your gods; I will send you to the grave because you are worthless.”
耶和华已经出令, 指著尼尼微说: 你名下的人必不留后; 我必从你神的庙中除灭雕刻的偶像和铸造的偶像; 我必因你鄙陋, 使你归于坟墓.

1:15 Look! On the mountains! The feet of the one who brings good tidings, the one who proclaims peace! “Celebrate a festival, O Judah, Fulfill your vows! For he will not invade you again; the wicked one is cut off completely!”
看哪, 有报好信传平安之人的脚登山, 说: 犹大啊, 可以守你的节期, 还你所许的愿吧! 因为那恶人不再从你中间经过, 他已灭绝净尽了.

狮子的洞和少壮狮子喂养之处在哪里呢? 公狮母狮小狮游行,无人惊吓之地在哪里呢?

公狮为小狮撕碎许多食物, 为母狮掐死活物, 把撕碎的,掐死的充满牠的洞穴.

万军之耶和华说: “我与你为敌, 必将你的车辆焚烧成烟, 刀剑也必吞灭你的少壮狮子. 我必从地上除灭你所撕碎的, 你使者的声音必不再听见. ”

Habakkuk (哈巴谷书)

Habakkuk - Chapter 1

1:1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
先知哈巴谷所得的默示.

1:2 O Yahweh, how long shall I cry for help and you will not listen? How long will I cry out to you, “Violence!” and you will not save?
他说: 耶和华啊! 我呼求你, 你不应允, 要到几时呢? 我因强暴哀求你, 你还不拯救.

1:3 Why do you cause me to see evil while you look at trouble? Destruction and violence happen before me; contention and strife arise.
你为何使我看见罪孽? 你为何看着奸恶而不理呢? 毁灭和强暴在我面前, 又起了争端和相斗的事.

1:4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice does not go forth perpetually. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
因此律法放松, 公理也不显明; 恶人围困义人, 所以公理显然颠倒.

1:5 “Look among the nations and see; be astonished and astounded. For a work is about to be done in your days that you will not believe if it is told.
耶和华说: 你们要向列国中观看, 大大惊奇; 因为在你们的时候, 我行一件事, 虽有人告诉你们, 你们总是不信.

1:6 For look! I am raising up the Chaldeans, the bitter and impetuous nation, the one who walks through the spacious places of earth to take possession of dwellings not belonging to it.
我必兴起迦勒底人, 就是那残忍暴躁之民, 通行遍地, 占据那不属自己的住处.

1:7 They are dreadful and awesome; their justice and their dignity proceed from themselves.
他威武可畏, 判断和势力都任意发出.

1:8 Their horses are more swift than leopards; they are more menacing than wolves at dusk. Their horsemen gallop; their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle that is swift to devour.
他的马比豹更快, 比晚上的豺狼更猛. 马兵踊跃争先, 都从远方而来; 他们飞跑如鹰抓食,

1:9 All of them come for violence, their faces pressing forward. They gather captives like the sand.
都为行强暴而来, 定住脸面向前, 将掳掠的人聚集, 多如尘沙.

1:10 And they themselves scoff at kings and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortification, and they heap up earth and take it.
他们讥诮君王, 笑话首领, 嗤笑一切保障, 筑垒攻取.

1:11 Then they sweep like the wind and pass on; they become guilty, whose might is their god!”
他以自己的势力为神, 像风猛然扫过, 显为有罪.

1:12 Are you not from of old, O Yahweh my God, my Holy One? You shall not die. O Yahweh, you have marked them for judgment; O Rock, you have established them for reproof.
耶和华─我的神, 我的圣者啊, 你不是从亘古而有吗? 我们必不致死. 耶和华啊, 你派定他为要刑罚人; 磐石啊, 你设立他为要惩治人.

1:13 Your eyes are too pure to see evil, and you are not able to look at wrongdoing. Why do you look at the treacherous? Why are you silent when the wicked swallows up someone more righteous than him?
你眼目清洁, 不看邪僻, 不看奸恶; 行诡诈的, 你为何看着不理呢? 恶人吞灭比自己公义的, 你为何静默不语呢?

1:14 You make humankind like fish of the sea, like crawling creatures that have no ruler among them.
你为何使人如海中的鱼, 又如没有管辖的爬物呢?

1:15 He brings up all of them with a fishhook; he drags them up with a fishnet; he gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore, he rejoices and exults.
他用钩钩住, 用网捕获, 用拉网聚集他们; 因此, 他欢喜快乐,

1:16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishnet and makes offerings to his dragnet, for by them he makes a good living and his food is rich.
就向网献祭, 向网烧香, 因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物.

1:17 Will he therefore empty his fishnet and continually kill nations without showing mercy?
他岂可屡次倒空网罗, 将列国的人时常杀戮, 毫不顾惜呢?

Habakkuk - Chapter 2

2:1 I will stand at my post, and station myself on the rampart. And I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint.
我要站在守望所, 立在望楼上观看, 看耶和华对我说甚么话, 我可用甚么话向他诉冤(向他诉冤: 或译回答所疑问的).

2:2 Then Yahweh answered me and said, “Write the vision and make it plain on the tablet so that it might be read quickly.
他对我说: 将这默示明明地写在版上, 使读的人容易读(或译: 随跑随读).

2:3 For there is yet a vision for the appointed time; it will give witness to the end, and it will not lie. If it tarries, wait for it, for it will surely come and not delay.
因为这默示有一定的日期, 快要应验, 并不虚谎. 虽然迟延, 还要等候; 因为必然临到, 不再迟延.

2:4 Look! His spirit within him is puffed up; it is not upright. But the righteous shall live by his faithfulness.
迦勒底人自高自大, 心不正直; 惟义人因信得生.

2:5 How much less the defiant; the arrogant, treacherous man? He who broadens his throat like Sheol, and who, like death, is not satisfied, and who gathers to himself all the nations, and harvested for himself all the peoples, will not succeed.
迦勒底人因酒诡诈, 狂傲, 不住在家中, 扩充心欲, 好像阴间. 他如死不能知足, 聚集万国, 堆积万民都归自己.

2:6 Shall not all of these take up a taunt against him, with ridicule and riddles against him, saying, ‘Woe to him who heaps up what is not his’? For how long? And, ‘Woe to him who makes himself heavy with pledges’?
这些国的民岂不都要提起诗歌并俗语讥刺他说: 祸哉! 迦勒底人, 你增添不属自己的财物, 多多取人的当头, 要到几时为止呢?

2:7 Will not your creditors suddenly rise up and awaken those who make you tremble? Then you shall be as plunder for them.
咬伤你的岂不忽然起来, 扰害你的岂不兴起, 你就作他们的掳物吗?

2:8 Because you plundered many nations, all the remaining nations will plunder you on account of the blood of humanity and violence against the land, and against cities and all who live in them.
因你抢夺许多的国, 杀人流血, 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴, 所以各国剩下的民都必抢夺你.

2:9 Woe to him who obtains profit from evil gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be saved from the hand of misfortune!
为本家积蓄不义之财,在高处搭窝,指望免灾的有祸了!

2:10 You have plotted shame for your house, cutting off many peoples and sinning against your life.
你图谋剪除多国的民, 犯了罪, 使你的家蒙羞, 自害己命.

2:11 For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the plaster from the wood will answer it.
墙里的石头必呼叫; 房内的栋梁必应声.

2:12 Woe to him who builds a city by bloodguilt, and who founds a city by wickedness!
以人血建城,以罪孽立邑的有祸了!

2:13 Look! Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that people labor for mere fire, and nations exhaust themselves for mere vanity?
众民所劳碌得来的被火焚烧, 列国由劳乏而得的归于虚空, 不都是出于万军之耶和华吗?

2:14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, like the waters covering the sea.
认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地, 好像水充满洋海一般.

2:15 Woe to him who gives a drink to his neighbors, pouring out your wrath and also making them drunk in order to see their nakedness!
给人酒喝,又加上毒物,使他喝醉,好看见他下体的有祸了!

2:16 You will be sated with shame rather than glory. Drink also yourself, and expose yourself! The cup of the right hand of Yahweh will come around upon you and disgrace upon your glory.
你满受羞辱, 不得荣耀; 你也喝吧, 显出是未受割礼的! 耶和华右手的杯必传到你那里; 你的荣耀就变为大大地羞辱.

2:17 For the violence of Lebanon will cover you, and the destruction of wild animals will shatter them on account of the blood of humanity, and the violence against the land, against a city and all the inhabitants in it.
你向黎巴嫩行强暴与残害惊吓野兽的事必遮盖你; 因你杀人流血, 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴.

2:18 What value is an idol when its carver has fashioned it, a molten idol, a teacher of lies? For he who fashioned his creation trusts in it, though making mute idols!
雕刻的偶像, 人将它刻出来, 有甚么益处呢? 铸造的偶像就是虚谎的师傅. 制造者倚靠这哑巴偶像有甚么益处呢?

2:19 Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Wake up!’ And to a lifeless stone, ‘Arise!’ Can he teach? Look, it is covered with gold and silver, and there is no breath within it.
对木偶说: 醒起! 对哑巴石像说: 起来! 那人有祸了! 这个还能教训人吗? 看哪, 是包裹金银的, 其中毫无气息.

2:20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.”
惟耶和华在他的圣殿中; 全地的人都当在他面前肃敬静默.

3:1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
先知哈巴谷的祷告, 调用流离歌.

耶和华啊, 我听见你的名声(或译: 言语)就惧怕. 耶和华啊, 求你在这些年间复兴你的作为, 在这些年间显明出来; 在发怒的时候以怜悯为念.

3:3 God came from Teman; the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His splendor covers the heavens, and his praise fills the earth.
神从提幔而来; 圣者从巴兰山临到. (细拉)他的荣光遮蔽诸天; 颂赞充满大地.

他的辉煌如同日光; 从他手里射出光线, 在其中藏着他的能力.

3:5 Before him went Disease, and Pestilence went out at his feet.
在他前面有瘟疫流行; 在他脚下有热症发出.

3:6 He stood and measured the earth; he looked and made the nations tremble. Then the mountains of old were shattered; the hills of old collapsed. The ways of old belong to him.
他站立, 量了大地(或译: 使地震动), 观看, 赶散万民. 永久的山崩裂; 长存的岭塌陷; 他的作为与古时一样.

3:7 Under affliction I saw the tents of Cushan; the tent curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
我见古珊的帐棚遭难, 米甸的幔子战兢.

3:8 Was the anger of Yahweh against the rivers? Was your wrath against the rivers, or your fury against the sea, when you mounted upon your horses, upon your victory chariot?
耶和华啊, 你乘在马上, 坐在得胜的车上, 岂是不喜悦江河,向江河发怒气,向洋海发愤恨吗?

3:9 You laid bare the nakedness of your bow, swearing oaths with the arrows of your word. You split the earth with rivers.
你的弓全然显露, 向众支派所起的誓都是可信的. (细拉)你以江河分开大地.

3:10 When the mountains saw you they writhed; a torrent of waters swept by; the deep gave its voice; it raised its hands on high.
山岭见你, 无不战惧; 大水泛滥过去, 深渊发声, 汹涌翻腾(原文是向上举手).

3:11 Sun and moon stood still in their place; at the light of your arrows they moved about; at the gleam of the flashing of your spear.
因你的箭射出发光, 你的枪闪出光耀, 日月都在本宫停住.

3:12 In fury you marched through the earth; in anger you trampled the nations.
你发忿恨通行大地, 发怒气责打列国, 如同打粮.

3:13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of wickedness, laying bare from the foundation to the top.
你出来要拯救你的百姓, 拯救你的受膏者, 打破恶人家长的头, 露出他的脚(原文是根基), 直到颈项. (细拉)

3:14 You pierced the head of his warriors with his own arrows; they came like a whirlwind to scatter me, their exultation like one who devours the afflicted in ambush.
你用敌人的戈矛刺透他战士的头; 他们来如旋风, 要将我们分散. 他们所喜爱的是暗中吞吃贫民.

3:15 You trampled upon the sea with your horses, the churning of many waters.
你乘马践踏红海, 就是践踏汹涌的大水.

3:16 I hear and my stomach shakes; my lips quiver at the sound; infection enters my bones; that which is beneath me trembles; I wait quietly for the day of trouble to come upon the people attacking us.
我听见耶和华的声音, 身体战兢, 嘴唇发颤, 骨中朽烂; 我在所立之处战兢. 我只可安静等候灾难之日临到, 犯境之民上来.

3:17 Though the fig tree does not blossom, nor there be fruit on the vines; the yield of the olive tree fails, and the cultivated fields do not yield food; the flock is cut off from the animal pen, and there is no cattle in the stalls,
虽然无花果树不发旺, 葡萄树不结果, 橄榄树也不效力, 田地不出粮食, 圈中绝了羊, 棚内也没有牛;

3:18 Yet I will rejoice in Yahweh; I will exult in the God of my salvation.
然而, 我要因耶和华欢欣, 因救我的神喜乐.

3:19 Yahweh, my Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer; he causes me to walk on my high places. To the choirmaster with stringed instruments.
主耶和华是我的力量; 他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄, 又使我稳行在高处. 这歌交与伶长, 用丝弦的乐器.

那日是忿怒的日子, 是急难困苦的日子, 是荒废凄凉的日子, 是黑暗幽冥,密云乌黑的日子,

1:16 a day of trumpet and trumpet blast against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers.
是吹角呐喊的日子, 要攻击坚固城和高大的城楼.

1:17 And I will bring distress to all humankind, and they shall walk about like the blind, for they sinned against Yahweh; their blood shall be poured out like dust and their entrails like dung.
我必使灾祸临到人身上, 使他们行走如同瞎眼的, 因为得罪了我. 他们的血必倒出如灰尘; 他们的肉必抛弃如粪土.

1:18 Moreover, their silver and their gold will not be able to save them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. And in the fire of his zeal, the whole land shall be consumed, for a terrifying end he shall make for all the inhabitants of the land.
当耶和华发怒的日子, 他们的金银不能救他们; 他的忿怒如火必烧灭全地, 毁灭这地的一切居民, 而且大大毁灭.

Zephaniah - Chapter 2

2:1 Gather yourselves together! Now gather together, O nation having no shame!
不知羞耻的国民哪, 你们应当聚集! 趁命令没有发出, 日子过去如风前的糠, 耶和华的烈怒未临到你们, 他发怒的日子未到以先, 你们应当聚集前来.

2:2 Before the birth of the decree, the day flies away like chaff; before the fierce anger of Yahweh overtakes you; before the day of the anger of Yahweh overtakes you.
a

2:3 Seek Yahweh, all you afflicted of the land who have fulfilled his law; seek righteousness; seek humility. Perhaps you will be concealed on the day of the anger of Yahweh.
世上遵守耶和华典章的谦卑人哪, 你们都当寻求耶和华! 当寻求公义谦卑, 或者在耶和华发怒的日子可以隐藏起来.

2:4 For Gaza will be abandoned, and Ashkelon as a desolation. As for Ashdod, at noon they will drive her away, and Ekron shall be uprooted.
迦萨必致见弃; 亚实基伦必然荒凉. 人在正午必赶出亚实突的民; 以革伦也被拔出根来.

2:5 Woe to you, inhabitants of the region of the sea, people of the Kerethites! The word of Yahweh is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines. I will destroy you until there is no inhabitant.
住沿海之地的基利提族有祸了! 迦南,非利士人之地啊, 耶和华的话与你反对, 说: 我必毁灭你, 以致无人居住.

2:6 And you, O region of the sea, shall become pastures and meadows for shepherds and sheep pens for the flocks.
沿海之地要变为草场, 其上有牧人的住处和羊群的圈.

2:7 And it shall become a region for the remnant of the house of Judah; upon them they shall graze, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down in the evening. For Yahweh their God shall be mindful of them, and he will restore their fortunes.
这地必为犹大家剩下的人所得; 他们必在那里牧放群羊, 晚上必躺卧在亚实基伦的房屋中; 因为耶和华─他们的神必眷顾他们, 使他们被掳的人归回.

2:8 I have heard the reproaches of Moab and the scorning of the Ammonites, with which they have taunted my nation and made boasts against their territory.
我听见摩押人的毁谤和亚扪人的辱骂, 就是毁谤我的百姓, 自夸自大, 侵犯他们的境界.

2:9 “Therefore, as I live”—a declaration of Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel— “Moab shall be as Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah, a place of weeds and salt pits and a desolation forever. The remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remainder of my nation shall possess them.”
万军之耶和华─以色列的神说: 我指着我的永生起誓: 摩押必像所多玛, 亚扪人必像蛾摩拉, 都变为刺草,盐坑,永远荒废之地. 我百姓所剩下的必掳掠他们; 我国中所余剩的必得着他们的地.

2:10 This shall be for them in place of their pride because they mocked and boasted against the people of Yahweh of hosts.
这事临到他们是因他们骄傲, 自夸自大, 毁谤万军之耶和华的百姓.

2:11 Yahweh will be awesome against them, for he will destroy all the gods of the earth and all the lands of the nations; each in its place will bow down to him.
耶和华必向他们显可畏之威, 因他必叫世上的诸神瘦弱. 列国海岛的居民各在自己的地方敬拜他.

2:12 You also, O Cushites, they shall be killed by my sword.
古实人哪, 你们必被我的刀所杀.

2:13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and he will destroy Assyria and will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry wasteland like the desert.
耶和华必伸手攻击北方, 毁灭亚述, 使尼尼微荒凉, 又干旱如旷野.

2:14 Herds shall lie down in her midst, every wild animal of a nation; even the desert owl and the screech owl shall lodge on her capitals. A voice shall hoot in the window; rubble on the threshold; for the cedar is laid bare.
群畜, 就是各国(国: 或译类)的走兽必卧在其中; 鹈鹕和箭猪要宿在柱顶上. 在窗户内有鸣叫的声音; 门槛都必毁坏, 香柏木已经露出.

2:15 This is the city of rejoicing that lived securely; the one saying in her heart, “I am, and there is none besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a lair for wild animals! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.
这是素来欢乐安然居住的城, 心里说: 惟有我, 除我以外再没有别的; 现在何竟荒凉成为野兽躺卧之处! 凡经过的人都必摇手嗤笑她.

Zephaniah - Chapter 3

3:1 Woe to you, O rebellious and defiled one! The oppressing city!
这悖逆,污秽,欺压的城有祸了!

3:2 She listens to no voice; she does not accept correction. In Yahweh she does not trust; to her God she does not draw near.
她不听从命令, 不领受训诲, 不倚靠耶和华, 不亲近她的神.

3:3 Her officials in her midst are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing until the morning.
她中间的首领是咆哮的狮子; 她的审判官是晚上的豺狼, 一点食物也不留到早晨.

3:4 Her prophets are arrogant men of treachery; her priests have defiled that which is holy; they do violence to the law.
她的先知是虚浮诡诈的人; 她的祭司亵渎圣所, 强解律法.

3:5 Yahweh is righteous in her midst; he does not do wickedness. Morning by morning he renders his judgment; at dawn he does not fail, but an evil one knows no shame.
耶和华在她中间是公义的, 断不做非义的事, 每早晨显明他的公义, 无日不然; 只是不义的人不知羞耻.

3:6 “I have cut off nations; their strongholds are deserted. I have laid waste their streets, so that none pass through. Their cities have been destroyed and are without a man, without an inhabitant.
我─耶和华已经除灭列国的民; 他们的城楼毁坏. 我使他们的街道荒凉, 以致无人经过; 他们的城邑毁灭, 以致无人, 也无居民.

3:7 I have said, ‘Surely she will fear me; she will accept discipline. Then her dwelling place will not be cut down, nor all that I have brought upon her.’ Surely they rise early; they make all their deeds corrupt.
我说: 你只要敬畏我, 领受训诲; 如此, 你的住处不致照我所拟定的除灭. 只是你们从早起来就在一切事上败坏自己.

3:8 “Therefore, wait for me”—a declaration of Yahweh— “for the day of my rising as a witness. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out my wrath upon them, all my burning anger. For by the fire of my anger all the land shall be consumed.
耶和华说: 你们要等候我, 直到我兴起掳掠的日子; 因为我已定意招聚列国, 聚集列邦, 将我的恼怒─就是我的烈怒都倾在她们身上. 我的忿怒如火, 必烧灭全地.

3:9 Because then I will make the speech of the nations pure; that all of them might call on the name of Yahweh, to serve him in unison.
那时, 我必使万民用清洁的言语好求告我─耶和华的名, 同心合意地事奉我.

3:10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers and the daughter of my scattered ones shall bring my offering.
祈祷我的, 就是我所分散的民(原文是女子; 下同), 必从古实河外来, 给我献供物.

3:11 On that day you shall not be humiliated on account of all your deeds by which you have rebelled against me. For then I shall remove from your midst those exulting in your pride, and you shall no longer be haughty in my holy mountain.
当那日, 你必不因你一切得罪我的事自觉羞愧; 因为那时我必从你中间除掉矜夸高傲之辈, 你也不再于我的圣山狂傲.

3:12 And I will leave in your midst a people afflicted and poor, and they shall take refuge in the name of Yahweh.
我却要在你中间留下困苦贫寒的民; 他们必投靠我─耶和华的名.

3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do wickedness; they shall not speak deception, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall frighten them.”
以色列所剩下的人必不作罪孽, 不说谎言, 口中也没有诡诈的舌头; 而且吃喝躺卧, 无人惊吓.

3:14 Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Cry aloud, O Israel! Rejoice and be jubilant with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!
锡安的民哪, 应当歌唱! 以色列啊, 应当欢呼! 耶路撒冷的民哪, 应当满心欢喜快乐!

耶和华已经除去你的刑罚, 赶出你的仇敌. 以色列的王─耶和华在你中间; 你必不再惧怕灾祸.

3:16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, “Fear not, O Zion; your hands shall not hang limp.
当那日, 必有话向耶路撒冷说: 不要惧怕! 锡安哪; 不要手软!

3:17 Yahweh your God is in your midst; a mighty warrior who saves. He shall rejoice over you with joy; he renews you in his love; he will exult over you with singing.
耶和华─你的神是施行拯救,大有能力的主. 他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐, 默然爱你, 且因你喜乐而欢呼.

3:18 I will gather those of you grieving on account of the feast; they were raising against her a reproach.
那些属你,为无大会愁烦,因你担当羞辱的, 我必聚集他们.

3:19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors; I will save the lame and gather the outcast. I will change them from shame to glory and renown throughout the whole world.
那时, 我必罚办一切苦待你的人, 又拯救你瘸腿的, 聚集你被赶出的. 那些在全地受羞辱的, 我必使他们得称赞, 有名声.

3:20 At that time I will bring you in; at the time of my gathering you together. For I will make you renowned and praised among all the nations of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” says Yahweh.
那时, 我必领你们进来, 聚集你们; 我使你们被掳之人归回的时候, 就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声, 得称赞. 这是耶和华说的.

Haggai (哈该书)

Haggai - Chapter 1

1:1 In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day, the word of Yahweh came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
大流士王第二年六月初一日, 耶和华的话藉先知哈该向犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚说:

1:2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘This people says, “The time has not come to rebuild the temple of Yahweh.’ ”
万军之耶和华如此说: “这百姓说, 建造耶和华殿的时候尚未来到. ”

1:3 And the word of Yahweh came through Haggai the prophet, saying,
那时耶和华的话临到先知哈该说:

1:4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your houses that have been paneled while this house is desolate?”
“这殿仍然荒凉, 你们自己还住天花板的房屋吗?

1:5 And so then, thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Consider your ways!
现在万军之耶和华如此说: 你们要省察自己的行为.

1:6 You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without being satisfied; you have drunk without being satiated; you have worn clothes without being warm; the one who earns wages puts it in a pouch with holes.’
你们撒的种多, 收的却少; 你们吃, 却不得饱; 喝, 却不得足; 穿衣服, 却不得暖; 得工钱的, 将工钱装在破漏的囊中. ”

1:7 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Consider your ways!
万军之耶和华如此说: “你们要省察自己的行为.

1:8 Go up the mountain and bring wood and build the house so that I may be pleased with it and honored,’ says Yahweh.
你们要上山取木料, 建造这殿, 我就因此喜乐, 且得荣耀. 这是耶和华说的.

1:9 ‘You have looked for much, and look! It came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?’ declares Yahweh of hosts. ‘Because my house is desolate and you are running each to your own house!
你们盼望多得, 所得的却少; 你们收到家中, 我就吹去. 这是为甚么呢? 因为我的殿荒凉, 你们各人却顾(原文是奔)自己的房屋. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

1:10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld the dew and the earth has withheld its produce.
所以为你们的缘故, 天就不降甘露, 地也不出土产.

1:11 I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil, on what the soil produces, on human beings and wild animals, and on all their labor.’ ”
我命干旱临到地土,山冈,五谷,新酒, 和油, 并地上的出产,人民,牲畜, 以及人手一切劳碌得来的. ”

1:12 Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people gave heed to the voice of Yahweh their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God had sent him, and the people feared Yahweh.
那时, 撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚, 并剩下的百姓, 都听从耶和华─他们神的话和先知哈该奉耶和华─他们神差来所说的话; 百姓也在耶和华面前存敬畏的心.

1:13 And Haggai the messenger of Yahweh spoke to the people with the message of Yahweh, saying, “ ‘I am with you’ declares Yahweh.”
耶和华的使者哈该奉耶和华差遣对百姓说: “耶和华说: 我与你们同在. ”

1:14 And Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and did the work on the house of Yahweh of hosts, their God,
耶和华激动犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚, 并剩下之百姓的心, 他们就来为万军之耶和华─他们神的殿做工.

1:15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of King Darius.
这是在大流士王第二年六月二十四日.

Haggai - Chapter 2

2:1 In the seventh month on the twenty-first day, the word of Yahweh came through Haggai the prophet, saying,
七月二十一日, 耶和华的话临到先知哈该说:

2:2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
“你要晓谕犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚, 并剩下的百姓, 说:

2:3 ‘Who among you is left that saw this house in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it seem like nothing to you?
你们中间存留的, 有谁见过这殿从前的荣耀呢? 现在你们看着如何? 岂不在眼中看如无有吗? ”

2:4 ‘But now take courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Take courage, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and take courage, all the people of the land,’ declares Yahweh. ‘Do the work, because I am with you,’ declares Yahweh of hosts,
耶和华说: “所罗巴伯啊, 虽然如此, 你当刚强! 约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚啊, 你也当刚强! 这地的百姓, 你们都当刚强做工, 因为我与你们同在. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

2:5 ‘according to the promise that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. My spirit is with you; do not be afraid.’
这是照着你们出埃及我与你们立约的话. 那时, 我的灵住在你们中间, 你们不要惧怕. ”

2:6 For thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and dry land.
万军之耶和华如此说: “过不多时, 我必再一次震动天地,沧海, 与旱地.

2:7 I will shake all the nations so that the treasure of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says Yahweh of hosts.
我必震动万国; 万国的珍宝必都运来(或译: 万国所羡慕的必来到), 我就使这殿满了荣耀. 这是万军之耶和华说的. ”

2:8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “银子是我的, 金子也是我的.

2:9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give peace’ declares Yahweh of hosts.’ ”
这殿后来的荣耀必大过先前的荣耀; 在这地方我必赐平安. 这是万军之耶和华说的. ”

2:10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Haggai, saying,
大流士王第二年九月二十四日, 耶和华的话临到先知哈该说:

2:11 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Ask now the priests for a ruling:
万军之耶和华如此说: “你要向祭司问律法,

2:12 If a man carries consecrated meat in the hem of his garment, and his hem touches bread, or stew, or wine, or olive oil, or any kind of food, will it become holy?’ ” The priests answered, “No.”
说: 若有人用衣襟兜圣肉, 这衣襟挨著饼, 或汤, 或酒, 或油, 或别的食物, 便算为圣吗? ”祭司说: “不算为圣. ”

2:13 Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean from contact with a corpse touches any of these, will it become unclean?” The priests answered, “Yes, it will be become unclean.”
哈该又说: “若有人因摸死尸染了污秽, 然后挨着这些物的哪一样, 这物算污秽吗? ”祭司说: “必算污秽. ”

2:14 And Haggai answered and said, “ ‘So it is with this people, and with this nation before me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and so it is with every kind of work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
于是哈该说: “耶和华说: 这民这国, 在我面前也是如此; 他们手下的各样工作都是如此; 他们在坛上所献的也是如此. ”

2:15 But now, please consider from this day forward, before one stone was placed on another in the temple of Yahweh,
现在你们要追想, 此日以前, 耶和华的殿没有一块石头垒在石头上的光景.

2:16 from that time when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten, and when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, there were only twenty.
在那一切日子, 有人来到谷堆, 想得二十斗, 只得了十斗. 有人来到酒池, 想得五十桶, 只得了二十桶.

2:17 I struck you with blight, and with plant mildew, and hail, all the work of your hands. But you did not come back to me,’ declares Yahweh.
在你们手下的各样工作上, 我以旱风,霉烂,冰雹攻击你们, 你们仍不归向我. 这是耶和华说的.

2:18 ‘Please consider from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider:
你们要追想此日以前, 就是从这九月二十四日起, 追想到立耶和华殿根基的日子.

2:19 Is there still seed in the store chamber? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still produce nothing? From this day forward I will bless you.’ ”
仓里有谷种吗? 葡萄树,无花果树,石榴树,橄榄树都没有结果子. 从今日起, 我必赐福与你们.

2:20 And the word of Yahweh came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month saying,
这月二十四日, 耶和华的话二次临到哈该说:

2:21 “Say to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I am going to shake the heavens and the earth,
“你要告诉犹大省长所罗巴伯说: 我必震动天地.

2:22 and I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the military strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, every one by the sword of another!
我必倾覆列国的宝座, 除灭列邦的势力, 并倾覆战车和坐在其上的. 马必跌倒, 骑马的败落, 各人被弟兄的刀所杀.

2:23 ‘On that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will make you a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.”
万军之耶和华说: 我仆人撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯啊, 到那日, 我必以你为印, 因我拣选了你. 这是万军之耶和华说的. ”

Zechariah (撒迦利亚)

Zechariah - Chapter 1

1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, saying,
大利乌王第二年八月, 耶和华的话临到易多的孙子,比利家的儿子先知撒迦利亚, 说:

1:2 “Yahweh was very angry with your ancestors.
“耶和华曾向你们列祖大大发怒.

1:3 You must say to them: ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Return to me,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts.
所以你要对以色列人说, 万军之耶和华如此说: 你们要转向我, 我就转向你们. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

1:4 “Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Return from your evil ways and your evil deeds!” ’ But they did not hear and they did not pay attention to me,” declares Yahweh.
不要效法你们列祖. 从前的先知呼叫他们说, 万军之耶和华如此说: ‘你们要回头离开你们的恶道恶行. ’他们却不听, 也不顺从我. 这是耶和华说的.

1:5 “Your ancestors, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
你们的列祖在哪里呢? 那些先知能永远存活吗?

1:6 However, did not my words and my regulations which I commanded my servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? And they repented and said, ‘Yahweh of hosts planned to do with us according to our ways, and according to our deeds so he has dealt with us.’ ” ’ ”
只是我的言语和律例, 就是所吩咐我仆人众先知的, 岂不临到你们列祖吗? 他们就回头, 说: ‘万军之耶和华定意按我们的行动作为向我们怎样行, 他已照样行了. ’”

1:7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the prophet, son of Berekiah, son of Iddo, saying,
大利乌第二年十一月, 就是细罢特月二十四日, 耶和华的话临到易多的孙子,比利家的儿子先知撒迦利亚, 说:

1:8 I had a vision in the night, and look, a man riding on a red horse. And he was standing between the myrtle shrubs that were in the ravine, and behind him were red, reddish-brown, and white horses.
“我夜间观看, 见一人骑着红马, 站在洼地番石榴树中间. 在他身后又有红马,黄马, 和白马. ”

1:9 And I asked, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel who was talking with me said, “I will show you what these are.”
我对与我说话的天使说: “主啊, 这是甚么意思? ”他说: “我要指示你这是甚么意思. ”

1:10 And the man standing between the myrtle shrubs answered and said, “These are those whom Yahweh has sent to patrol the earth.”
那站在番石榴树中间的人说: “这是奉耶和华差遣在遍地走来走去的. ”

1:11 And they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle shrubs, and they said, “We have patrolled the earth, and look, all the earth is dwelling in peace.”
那些骑马的对站在番石榴树中间耶和华的使者说: “我们已在遍地走来走去, 见全地都安息平静. ”

1:12 The angel of Yahweh answered and said, “O Yahweh of hosts, how long will you have no compassion on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which you showed fury these seventy years?”
于是, 耶和华的使者说: “万军之耶和华啊, 你恼恨耶路撒冷和犹大的城邑已经七十年, 你不施怜悯要到几时呢? ”

1:13 With gracious and comforting words Yahweh answered the angel who was talking with me.
耶和华就用美善的安慰话回答那与我说话的天使.

1:14 And the angel who was talking with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “I am very jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion!
与我说话的天使对我说: “你要宣告说, 万军之耶和华如此说: 我为耶路撒冷为锡安, 心里极其火热.

1:15 And I am extremely angry with the nations that are at ease, for while I was a little angry, they furthered disaster.”
我甚恼怒那安逸的列国, 因我从前稍微恼怒我民, 他们就加害过分.

1:16 Therefore, thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion. My temple will be built in it,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “and a measuring line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’
所以耶和华如此说: 现今我回到耶路撒冷, 仍施怜悯, 我的殿必重建在其中, 准绳必拉在耶路撒冷之上. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

1:17 Proclaim again, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “My cities shall again overflow from prosperity, and Yahweh will comfort Zion again, and he will choose Jerusalem again.” ’ ”
你要再宣告说, 万军之耶和华如此说: 我的城邑必再丰盛发达. 耶和华必再安慰锡安, 拣选耶路撒冷. ”

1:18 And I looked up and I saw, and look, there were four horns!
我举目观看, 见有四角.

1:19 And I said to the angel who was talking with me, “What are these?” And he said to me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
我就问与我说话的天使说: “这是甚么意思? ”他回答说: “这是打散犹大,以色列, 和耶路撒冷的角. ”

1:20 Then Yahweh showed me four skilled craftsmen,
耶和华又指四个匠人给我看.

1:21 and I asked, “What are these coming to do?” And he answered, saying, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to frighten them, to strike down the horns of the nations that lifted a horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
我说: “他们来做甚么呢? ”他说: “这是打散犹大的角, 使人不敢抬头; 但这些匠人来威吓列国, 打掉他们的角, 就是举起打散犹大地的角. ”

Zechariah - Chapter 2

2:1 And I looked up and I saw, and look, a man, and in his hand was a measuring rope!
我又举目观看, 见一人手拿准绳.

2:2 And I asked, “Where are you going?” And he answered me, “To measure Jerusalem to see what is its width and what is its length.”
我说: “你往哪里去? ”他对我说: “要去量耶路撒冷, 看有多宽多长. ”

2:3 And look, the angel who was talking to me was coming forward, and another angel was coming forward to meet him.
与我说话的天使去的时候, 又有一位天使迎着他来,

2:4 And he said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited like villages without walls because of the multitude of people and animals in its midst.
对他说: “你跑去告诉那少年人说, 耶路撒冷必有人居住, 好像无城墙的乡村, 因为人民和牲畜甚多.

2:5 And I will be for it a wall of fire all around,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and I will be the glory in its midst.’ ”

那日以先, 人得不著雇价, 牲畜也是如此; 且因敌人的缘故, 出入之人不得平安, 乃因我使众人互相攻击.

8:11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.
但如今, 我待这余剩的民必不像从前. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

耶和华必显现在他们以上; 他的箭必射出像闪电. 主耶和华必吹角, 乘南方的旋风而行.

9:15 Yahweh of hosts will defend them, and they will devour and subdue the slingstones; they will drink, they will make noise like wine, and they will be full like the sacrificial basin, drenched like the corners of an altar.
万军之耶和华必保护他们; 他们必吞灭仇敌, 践踏弹石. 他们必喝血呐喊, 犹如饮酒; 他们必像盛满血的碗, 又像坛的四角满了血.

9:16 And Yahweh their God will save them on that day, as the flock of his people; for they are like the stones of a diadem, glittering on his land.
当那日, 耶和华─他们的神必看他的民如群羊, 拯救他们; 因为他们必像冠冕上的宝石, 高举在他的地以上(或译: 在他的地上发光辉).

9:17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women.
他的恩慈何等大! 他的荣美何其盛! 五谷健壮少男; 新酒培养处女.

Zechariah - Chapter 10

10:1 Ask rain from Yahweh in the season of the spring rain— Yahweh, who makes storm clouds, and he gives showers of rain to them, to everyone vegetation in the field.
当春雨的时候, 你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨. 他必为众人降下甘霖, 使田园生长菜蔬.

10:2 Because the household gods speak deceit, and those who practice divination see a lie, and the dreamers of vanity speak in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
因为, 家神所言的是虚空; 卜士所见的是虚假; 做梦者所说的是假梦. 他们白白地安慰人, 所以众人如羊流离, 因无牧人就受苦.

10:3 My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders, because Yahweh of hosts watches over his flock, the house of Judah; and he will make them like his majestic horse in war.
我的怒气向牧人发作; 我必惩罚公山羊; 因我─万军之耶和华眷顾自己的羊群, 就是犹大家, 必使他们如骏马在阵上.

10:4 From them the cornerstone will go out, from them the tent peg, from them the battle bow, from them every ruler, all together.
房角石,钉子,争战的弓, 和一切掌权的都从他而出.

10:5 And they will be like warriors, trampling in the mud of the streets in the battle. They will fight, because Yahweh is with them, and they will put to shame the riders on horses.
他们必如勇士在阵上将仇敌践踏在街上的泥土中. 他们必争战, 因为耶和华与他们同在; 骑马的也必羞愧.

10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph I will save. And I will bring them back, because I have compassion on them, and they will be as if I had not rejected them, for I am Yahweh their God, and I will answer them.
我要坚固犹大家, 拯救约瑟家, 要领他们归回. 我要怜恤他们; 他们必像未曾弃绝的一样, 都因我是耶和华─他们的神, 我必应允他们的祷告.

10:7 And the people of Ephraim will be like a warrior, and their heart will be glad as with wine. And their children will see and rejoice; their heart will shout in exultation in Yahweh.
以法莲人必如勇士; 他们心中畅快如同喝酒; 他们的儿女必看见而快活; 他们的心必因耶和华喜乐.

10:8 I will whistle to them and gather them, for I have redeemed them, and they will become numerous as they have been numerous before.
我要发嘶声, 聚集他们, 因我已经救赎他们. 他们的人数必加增, 如从前加增一样.

10:9 Though I sow them among the nations, in the distant places they will remember me, and they will stay alive with their children, and they will return.
我虽然(或译: 必)播散他们在列国中, 他们必在远方记念我. 他们与儿女都必存活, 且得归回.

10:10 And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria I will gather them. To the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until no room will be found for them there.
我必再领他们出埃及地, 招聚他们出亚述, 领他们到基列和黎巴嫩; 这地尚且不够他们居住.

10:11 And he will pass through the sea of distress, and he will strike the waves of the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
耶和华必经过苦海, 击打海浪, 使尼罗河的深处都枯干. 亚述的骄傲必致卑微; 埃及的权柄必然灭没.

10:12 I will make them strong in Yahweh, and in his name they will walk, declares Yahweh.
我必使他们倚靠我, 得以坚固; 一举一动必奉我的名. 这是耶和华说的.

Zechariah - Chapter 11

11:1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, so that fire will devour your cedars!
黎巴嫩哪, 开开你的门, 任火烧灭你的香柏树.

11:2 Wail, O juniper, for the cedar has fallen, for the magnificent trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the impenetrable forest has come down!
松树啊, 应当哀号; 因为香柏树倾倒, 佳美的树毁坏. 巴珊的橡树啊, 应当哀号, 因为茂盛的树林已经倒了.

11:3 Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their splendor is ruined! Listen to the roar of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are ruined!
听啊, 有牧人哀号的声音, 因他们荣华的草场毁坏了. 有少壮狮子咆哮的声音, 因约旦河旁的丛林荒废了.

11:4 Thus says Yahweh my God: “Shepherd the flock doomed to slaughter.
耶和华─我的神如此说: “你─撒迦利亚要牧养这将宰的群羊.

11:5 The ones buying them kill them and go unpunished, and the ones selling them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I have become rich.’ Their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
买他们的宰了他们, 以自己为无罪; 卖他们的说: ‘耶和华是应当称颂的, 因我成为富足. ’牧养他们的并不怜恤他们.

11:6 For I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land,” declares Yahweh. “Look, I am going to cause humankind to fall, each into the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king; and they will devastate the land, and I will not deliver anyone from their hand.”
耶和华说: ‘我不再怜恤这地的居民, 必将这民交给各人的邻舍和他们王的手中. 他们必毁灭这地, 我也不救这民脱离他们的手. ’”

11:7 And I shepherded the flock doomed to slaughter, even the afflicted of the flock. I took two staffs, one I called Kindness, and the other I called Unity, and I shepherded the flock.
于是, 我牧养这将宰的群羊, 就是群中最困苦的羊. 我拿着两根杖, 一根我称为“荣美”, 一根我称为“联索”. 这样, 我牧养了群羊.

11:8 And I got rid of three shepherds in one month, for I grew impatient with them, and they also became tired of me.
一月之内, 我除灭三个牧人, 因为我的心厌烦他们; 他们的心也憎嫌我.

11:9 So I said, “I will not shepherd you! The one dying will die, and the one to be destroyed will be destroyed. And the ones remaining, let them devour the flesh of each other.”
我就说: “我不牧养你们. 要死的, 由他死; 要丧亡的, 由他丧亡; 余剩的, 由他们彼此相食. ”

11:10 And I took my staff Kindness and broke it, to break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
我折断那称为“荣美”的杖, 表明我废弃与万民所立的约.

11:11 And it was broken on that day. Then the afflicted of the flock, the ones who were watching me, knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
当日就废弃了. 这样, 那些仰望我的困苦羊就知道所说的是耶和华的话.

11:12 And I said to them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages, but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out my wages, thirty silver shekels.
我对他们说: “你们若以为美, 就给我工价. 不然, 就罢了! ”于是他们给了三十块钱作为我的工价.

11:13 And Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” this noble price at which I was valued by them!” So I took the thirty silver shekels and I threw them to the potter in the house of Yahweh.
耶和华吩咐我说: “要把众人所估定美好的价值丢给窑户. ”我便将这三十块钱, 在耶和华的殿中丢给窑户了.

11:14 Then I broke my second staff Unity to break the family ties between Judah and Israel.
我又折断称为联索的那根杖, 表明我废弃犹大与以色列弟兄的情谊.

11:15 And Yahweh said to me, “Take again the implements of a foolish shepherd.
耶和华又吩咐我说: “你再取愚昧牧人所用的器具,

11:16 For look, I am raising up a shepherd in the land who will not attend to the ones that are perishing; he will not seek the young man, he will not heal the ones that are crushed and he will not sustain the healthy ones; he will devour the flesh of the fattened ones and tear apart even their hoofs.
因我要在这地兴起一个牧人. 他不看顾丧亡的, 不寻找分散的, 不医治受伤的, 也不牧养强壮的; 却要吃肥羊的肉, 撕裂他的蹄子.

11:17 “Woe, my worthless shepherd who deserts the flock! May a sword fall on his arm and on his right eye! May his arm wither completely and his right eye be utterly blinded!”
无用的牧人丢弃羊群有祸了! 刀必临到他的膀臂和右眼上. 他的膀臂必全然枯干; 他的右眼也必昏暗失明. ”

Zechariah - Chapter 12

12:1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. “Thus declares Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, founds the earth, and forms the spirit of humankind in its midst:
耶和华论以色列的默示. 铺张诸天,建立地基,造人里面之灵的耶和华说:

12:2 ‘Look, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup of reeling for all the surrounding nations; it will also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
“我必使耶路撒冷被围困的时候, 向四围列国的民成为令人昏醉的杯; 这默示也论到犹大(或译: 犹大也是如此).

12:3 And then on that day I will make Jerusalem a stone weight for all the peoples. All those lifting it up will grievously hurt themselves, and all the nations of the earth will assemble against it.
那日, 我必使耶路撒冷向聚集攻击他的万民当作一块重石头; 凡举起的必受重伤.

12:4 On that day,’ declares Yahweh, ‘I will strike every horse with confusion, and the one riding it with madness; but over the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, and I will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
耶和华说: 到那日, 我必使一切马匹惊惶, 使骑马的颠狂. 我必看顾犹大家, 使列国的一切马匹瞎眼.

12:5 And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, “The inhabitants of Jerusalem are a strength to us, through Yahweh of hosts, their God.”
犹大的族长必心里说: ‘耶路撒冷的居民倚靠万军之耶和华─他们的神, 就作我们的能力. ’

12:6 “ ‘On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a pan of fire among sticks of wood, and like a torch of fire among stalks of grain, and they will devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, and Jerusalem will be inhabited again in its place, in Jerusalem.
“那日, 我必使犹大的族长如火盆在木柴中, 又如火把在禾捆里; 他们必左右烧灭四围列国的民. 耶路撒冷人必仍住本处, 就是耶路撒冷.

12:7 And Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be exalted over Judah.
耶和华必先拯救犹大的帐棚, 免得大卫家的荣耀和耶路撒冷居民的荣耀胜过犹大.

12:8 On that day Yahweh will put a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who stumbles among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh, before them.
那日, 耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民. 他们中间软弱的必如大卫; 大卫的家必如神, 如行在他们前面之耶和华的使者.

12:9 And then on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations coming against Jerusalem.
那日, 我必定意灭绝来攻击耶路撒冷各国的民.

12:10 “ ‘I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication, and they will look to me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn over him, as one wails over an only child, and they will grieve bitterly over him as one grieves bitterly over a firstborn.
我必将那施恩叫人恳求的灵, 浇灌大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民. 他们必仰望我(或译: 他; 本节同), 就是他们所扎的; 必为我悲哀, 如丧独生子, 又为我愁苦, 如丧长子.

12:11 On that day the wailing will be great in Jerusalem, like the wailing for Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
那日, 耶路撒冷必有大大的悲哀, 如米吉多平原之哈达临门的悲哀.

12:12 And the land shall mourn, each clan by itself; the clan of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the clan of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
境内一家一家地都必悲哀. 大卫家, 男的独在一处, 女的独在一处. 拿单家, 男的独在一处, 女的独在一处.

12:13 the clan of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the clan of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves;
利未家, 男的独在一处, 女的独在一处. 示每家, 男的独在一处, 女的独在一处.

12:14 and all those clans remaining, each clan by itself, and their wives by themselves.’ ”
其余的各家, 男的独在一处, 女的独在一处.

Zechariah - Chapter 13

13:1 “ ‘On that day a well will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and from impurity.
那日, 必给大卫家和耶路撒冷的居民开一个泉源, 洗除罪恶与污秽.

13:2 And then, on that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I will banish from the land.
万军之耶和华说: “那日, 我必从地上除灭偶像的名, 不再被人记念; 也必使这地不再有假先知与污秽的灵.

13:3 And then, if anyone prophesies again, his father and his mother who bore him will say to him, “You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of Yahweh!” And his father and his mother who bore him will pierce him through when he prophesies.
若再有人说预言, 生他的父母必对他说: ‘你不得存活, 因为你托耶和华的名说假预言. ’生他的父母在他说预言的时候, 要将他刺透.

13:4 And then on that day, each of the prophets will be ashamed because of his vision when he was prophesying, and they will not put on a cloak of hair in order to deceive,
那日, 凡作先知说预言的必因他所论的异象羞愧, 不再穿毛衣哄骗人.

13:5 but he will say, “I am not a prophet; I am a tiller of the soil, for a man has acquired me since my youth.”
他必说: ‘我不是先知, 我是耕地的; 我从幼年作人的奴仆. ’

13:6 And someone shall say to him, “What are these wounds between your arms?” and he will say, “Those I have received in the house of the ones who love me.” ’ ”
必有人问他说: ‘你两臂中间是甚么伤呢? ’他必回答说: ‘这是我在亲友家中所受的伤. ’”

13:7 “O sword, awake against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,” declares Yahweh of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, so that the sheep may be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the small ones.
万军之耶和华说: 刀剑哪, 应当兴起, 攻击我的牧人和我的同伴. 击打牧人, 羊就分散; 我必反手加在微小者的身上.

13:8 And then in all the land,” declares Yahweh, “two thirds will be cut off and perish, and one third will be left alive in it.
耶和华说: 这全地的人, 三分之二必剪除而死, 三分之一仍必存留.

13:9 And I will bring the remaining third into the fire, and I will refine them like one refines silver, and I will test them like one tests gold. They will call my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”
我要使这三分之一经火, 熬炼他们, 如熬炼银子; 试炼他们, 如试炼金子. 他们必求告我的名, 我必应允他们. 我要说: 这是我的子民. 他们也要说: 耶和华是我们的神.

Zechariah - Chapter 14

14:1 Look! A day is coming for Yahweh, when your plunder will be divided in your midst.
耶和华的日子临近, 你的财物必被抢掠, 在你中间分散.

14:2 I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, and they will loot the houses, and the women will be raped; half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city.
因为我必聚集万国与耶路撒冷争战, 城必被攻取, 房屋被抢夺, 妇女被玷污, 城中的民一半被掳去; 剩下的民仍在城中, 不致剪除.

14:3 Then Yahweh will go forth and fight against those nations, like when he fights on a day of battle.
那时, 耶和华必出去与那些国争战, 好像从前争战一样.

14:4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in half, from east to west, by a very great valley; and half of the mountain will withdraw toward the north, and the other half toward the south.
那日, 他的脚必站在耶路撒冷前面朝东的橄榄山上. 这山必从中间分裂, 自东至西成为极大的谷. 山的一半向北挪移, 一半向南挪移.

14:5 And you will flee by the valley of my mountains, because the valley of the mountains will reach to Azal, and you will flee like you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. And Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
你们要从我山的谷中逃跑, 因为山谷必延到亚萨. 你们逃跑, 必如犹大王乌西雅年间的人逃避大地震一样. 耶和华─我的神必降临, 有一切圣者同来.

14:6 And then on that day there will not be light, the precious things will congeal.
那日, 必没有光, 三光必退缩.

14:7 There shall be continuous day—it is known to Yahweh—not day and not night; and at evening time there will be light.
那日, 必是耶和华所知道的, 不是白昼, 也不是黑夜, 到了晚上才有光明.

14:8 And then on that day, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea, and the other half to the western sea; it will happen both in the summer and in the winter.
那日, 必有活水从耶路撒冷出来, 一半往东海流, 一半往西海流; 冬夏都是如此.

14:9 And Yahweh will be king over all the earth; on that day Yahweh will be one and his name one.
耶和华必作全地的王. 那日耶和华必为独一无二的, 他的名也是独一无二的.

14:10 All the land will be transformed into a desert plateau from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But it will rise up high and it will stay in its place from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, up to the Corner Gate and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
全地, 从迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的临门, 要变为亚拉巴. 耶路撒冷必仍居高位, 就是从便雅悯门到第一门之处, 又到角门, 并从哈楠业楼, 直到王的酒醡.

14:11 And they will dwell in it, and there will be no more ban imposed, and Jerusalem will dwell in security.
人必住在其中, 不再有咒诅. 耶路撒冷人必安然居住.

14:12 And this will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike all the peoples that fight against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet; their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
耶和华用灾殃攻击那与耶路撒冷争战的列国人, 必是这样: 他们两脚站立的时候, 肉必消没, 眼在眶中干瘪, 舌在口中溃烂.

14:13 And then on that day a great panic from Yahweh will fall on them, and they will seize one another’s hand, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of another.
那日, 耶和华必使他们大大扰乱. 他们各人彼此揪住, 举手攻击.

14:14 And Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—gold and silver, and garments in great abundance.
犹大也必在耶路撒冷争战. 那时四围各国的财物, 就是许多金银衣服, 必被收聚.

14:15 Like this plague will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and every kind of animal in those camps.
那临到马匹,骡子,骆驼,驴, 和营中一切牲畜的灾殃是与那灾殃一般.

14:16 And then every survivor from all those nations coming against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, and celebrate the Feast of Booths.
所有来攻击耶路撒冷列国中剩下的人, 必年年上来敬拜大君王─万军之耶和华, 并守住棚节.

14:17 And then whoever of the clans of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, it will not rain on them.
地上万族中, 凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王─万军之耶和华的, 必无雨降在他们的地上.

14:18 And if the clan of Egypt will not go up and come in, on them will be that plague Yahweh inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
埃及族若不上来, 雨也不降在他们的地上; 凡不上来守住棚节的列国人, 耶和华也必用这灾攻击他们.

14:19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
这就是埃及的刑罚和那不上来守住棚节之列国的刑罚.

14:20 On that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to Yahweh.” And the cooking pots in the house of Yahweh will be holy like the sacrificial basins before the altar.
当那日, 马的铃铛上必有归耶和华为圣的这句话. 耶和华殿内的锅必如祭坛前的碗一样.

14:21 And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of hosts, and all those who sacrifice will come and will take from them, and will cook in them, and there will be no longer a trader in the house of Yahweh of hosts on that day.
凡耶路撒冷和犹大的锅都必归万军之耶和华为圣. 凡献祭的都必来取这锅, 煮肉在其中. 当那日, 在万军之耶和华的殿中必不再有迦南人.

Malachi (玛拉基书)

Malachi - Chapter 1

1:1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh to Israel through Malachi.
耶和华藉玛拉基传给以色列的默示.

1:2 “I have loved you,” says Yahweh, but you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is Esau not Jacob’s brother?” declares Yahweh. “I have loved Jacob,
耶和华说: “我曾爱你们. ”你们却说: “你在何事上爱我们呢? ”耶和华说: “以扫不是雅各的哥哥吗? 我却爱雅各,

1:3 but Esau I have hated. I have made his mountain ranges a desolation, and given his inheritance to the jackals of the desert.”
恶以扫, 使他的山岭荒凉, 把他的地业交给旷野的野狗. ”

1:4 If Edom says, “We are shattered, but we will return and rebuild the ruins,” Yahweh of hosts says this: “They may build, but I will tear down; and they will be called a territory of wickedness, and the people with whom Yahweh is angry forever.”
以东人说: “我们现在虽被毁坏, 却要重建荒废之处. ”万军之耶和华如此说: “任他们建造, 我必拆毁; 人必称他们的地为‘罪恶之境’; 称他们的民为‘耶和华永远恼怒之民’. ”

1:5 Your eyes will see this, and you will say, “Yahweh is great beyond the borders of Israel.”
你们必亲眼看见, 也必说: “愿耶和华在以色列境界之外被尊为大! ”

1:6 “A son honors his father, and a slave his master; but if I am a father, where is my honor, and if I am a master, where is my reverence?” says Yahweh of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. “But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’
“藐视我名的祭司啊, 万军之耶和华对你们说: 儿子尊敬父亲, 仆人敬畏主人; 我既为父亲, 尊敬我的在哪里呢? 我既为主人, 敬畏我的在哪里呢? 你们却说: ‘我们在何事上藐视你的名呢? ’

1:7 You are presenting defiled food on my altar! But you ask, ‘How have we defiled you?’ By saying that the table of Yahweh is despised!
你们将污秽的食物献在我的坛上, 且说: ‘我们在何事上污秽你呢? ’因你们说, 耶和华的桌子是可藐视的.

1:8 When you offer a blind animal for sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer the lame and the one who is ill, is that not wrong? Present it, please, to your governor! Will he be pleased with you? Will he show you favor?” says Yahweh of hosts.
你们将瞎眼的献为祭物, 这不为恶吗? 将瘸腿的,有病的献上, 这不为恶吗? 你献给你的省长, 他岂喜悦你, 岂能看你的情面吗? 这是万军之耶和华说的.

1:9 So then, implore the favor of God so that he will be gracious to us. “This is what you have done. Will he show favor to any of you?” says Yahweh of hosts.
“现在我劝你们恳求神, 他好施恩与我们. 这妄献的事, 既由你们经手, 他岂能看你们的情面吗? 这是万军之耶和华说的.

1:10 “Who also among you will shut the temple doors so that you will not kindle fire in vain on my altar? I take no pleasure in you,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and I will not accept an offering from your hand.
甚愿你们中间有一人关上殿门, 免得你们徒然在我坛上烧火. 万军之耶和华说: 我不喜悦你们, 也不从你们手中收纳供物.

1:11 From the rising of the sun to its setting, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is being presented to my name, and a pure offering. For my name is great among the nations,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: 从日出之地到日落之处, 我的名在外邦中必尊为大. 在各处, 人必奉我的名烧香, 献洁净的供物, 因为我的名在外邦中必尊为大.

1:12 “But you are profaning it by saying the table of the Lord is defiled, and its fruit—its food—is despised!
你们却亵渎我的名, 说: ‘耶和华的桌子是污秽的, 其上的食物是可藐视的. ’

1:13 And you say, ‘Look! This is a weariness,’ and you sniff with disdain at it,” says Yahweh of hosts. “And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the one that is sick—this you bring as the offering! Should I accept it from your hand?” says Yahweh.
你们又说: ‘这些事何等烦琐! ’并嗤之以鼻. 这是万军之耶和华说的. 你们把抢夺的,瘸腿的,有病的拿来献上为祭. 我岂能从你们手中收纳呢? 这是耶和华说的.

1:14 “Cursed is the one who cheats, who has in his flock a male and vows it, but instead sacrifices a blemished one to the Lord! For I am a great king,” says Yahweh of hosts, “and my name is awesome among the nations.”
行诡诈的在群中有公羊, 他许愿却用有残疾的献给主, 这人是可咒诅的. 因为我是大君王, 我的名在外邦中是可畏的. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

Malachi - Chapter 2

2:1 “And so then, O priests, this command is for you:
“众祭司啊, 这诫命是传给你们的.

2:2 If you will not listen, and if you will not take it to heart to give glory to my name,” says Yahweh of hosts, “then I will send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings; moreover I have already cursed them because you are not taking it to heart.
万军之耶和华说: 你们若不听从, 也不放在心上, 将荣耀归与我的名, 我就使咒诅临到你们, 使你们的福分变为咒诅; 因你们不把诫命放在心上, 我已经咒诅你们了.

2:3 Look! I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will scatter offal on your faces, the offal of your religious feasts, and you will be carried to it.
我必斥责你们的种子, 又把你们牺牲的粪抹你们的脸上; 你们要与粪一同除掉.

2:4 “Then you will know that I have sent to you this command, that my covenant with Levi continues,” says Yahweh of hosts.
你们就知道我传这诫命给你们, 使我与利未(或译: 利未人)所立的约可以常存. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

2:5 “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. This required reverence, and he revered me and stood in awe before my name.
我曾与他立生命和平安的约. 我将这两样赐给他, 使他存敬畏的心, 他就敬畏我, 惧怕我的名.

2:6 The instruction of truth was in his mouth, and wickedness was not found on his lips. In peace and in uprightness he walked with me, and he brought back many from sin.
真实的律法在他口中, 他嘴里没有不义的话. 他以平安和正直与我同行, 使多人回头离开罪孽.

2:7 For the lips of the priest should guard knowledge, and they should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of Yahweh of hosts.
祭司的嘴里当存知识, 人也当由他口中寻求律法, 因为他是万军之耶和华的使者.

2:8 But you, you have turned from the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction; you have ruined the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh of hosts.
你们却偏离正道, 使许多人在律法上跌倒. 你们废弃我与利未所立的约. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

2:9 “And in turn I have made you despised and humbled before all the people, inasmuch as you are not keeping my way, but are favoring your own instruction.”
所以我使你们被众人藐视, 看为下贱; 因你们不守我的道, 竟在律法上瞻徇情面. ”

2:10 Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we unfaithful to one another, profaning the covenant of our ancestors?
我们岂不都是一位父吗? 岂不是一位神所造的吗? 我们各人怎么以诡诈待弟兄, 背弃了神与我们列祖所立的约呢?

2:11 Judah has been faithless, and a detestable thing has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem. Judah has profaned the sanctuary of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
犹大人行事诡诈, 并且在以色列和耶路撒冷中行一件可憎的事; 因为犹大人亵渎耶和华所喜爱的圣洁(或译: 圣地), 娶事奉外邦神的女子为妻.

2:12 May Yahweh cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, the one who is awake and who answers, and the one who brings an offering to Yahweh of hosts!
凡行这事的, 无论何人(何人: 原文是叫醒的, 答应的), 就是献供物给万军之耶和华, 耶和华也必从雅各的帐棚中剪除他.

2:13 And this you do as well: you cover the altar of Yahweh with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.
你们又行了一件这样的事, 使前妻叹息哭泣的眼泪遮盖耶和华的坛, 以致耶和华不再看顾那供物, 也不乐意从你们手中收纳.

2:14 But you ask, “For what reason?” Because Yahweh stands as a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have been unfaithful, even though she is your marriage partner and your wife by covenant.
你们还说: “这是为甚么呢? ”因耶和华在你和你幼年所娶的妻中间作见证. 她虽是你的配偶, 又是你盟约的妻, 你却以诡诈待她.

2:15 Did not one God make them? But a remnant of the spirit is his. And what does the one God desire? An offspring of God. You must be attentive to your spirit, and you must not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.
虽然神有灵的余力能造多人, 他不是单造一人吗? 为何只造一人呢? 乃是他愿人得虔诚的后裔. 所以当谨守你们的心, 谁也不可以诡诈待幼年所娶的妻.

2:16 “For I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and he who covers his clothing with violence,” says Yahweh of hosts. “You must be attentive to your spirit and you must not be unfaithful.”
耶和华─以色列的神说: “休妻的事和以强暴待妻的人都是我所恨恶的! 所以当谨守你们的心, 不可行诡诈. ”这是万军之耶和华说的.

2:17 You have wearied Yahweh with your words, but you ask, “With what have we wearied him?” You have done so when you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Yahweh, and in them he delights,” or “Where is the God of justice?”
你们用言语烦琐耶和华, 你们还说: “我们在何事上烦琐他呢? ”因为你们说: “凡行恶的, 耶和华眼看为善, 并且他喜悦他们”; 或说: “公义的神在哪里呢? ”

Malachi - Chapter 3

3:1 “Look! I am going to send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you are seeking will come suddenly to his temple, and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you are taking pleasure—look!—he is about to come,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “我要差遣我的使者在我前面预备道路. 你们所寻求的主必忽然进入他的殿; 立约的使者, 就是你们所仰慕的, 快要来到. ”

3:2 And who can endure the day of his coming? And who is the one who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire, like launderers’ alkali.
他来的日子, 谁能当得起呢? 他显现的时候, 谁能立得住呢? 因为他如炼金之人的火, 如漂布之人的碱.

3:3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the children of Levi, and he will refine them like gold and like silver, and they will present to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.
他必坐下如炼净银子的, 必洁净利未人, 熬炼他们像金银一样; 他们就凭公义献供物给耶和华.

3:4 And the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to Yahweh, like in the days of old and like in former years.
那时, 犹大和耶路撒冷所献的供物必蒙耶和华悦纳, 仿佛古时之日,上古之年.

3:5 “Then I will approach you for judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers, and against those who swear falsely, and against the oppressors of the hired worker with his wages, the widow and the orphan, and the abusers of the alien, and yet do not fear me,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: “我必临近你们, 施行审判. 我必速速作见证, 警戒行邪术的,犯奸淫的,起假誓的,亏负人之工价的,欺压寡妇孤儿的,屈枉寄居的, 和不敬畏我的. ”

3:6 “For I, Yahweh, have not changed, and you, O children of Jacob, have not perished.
因我─耶和华是不改变的, 所以你们雅各之子没有灭亡.

3:7 From the days of your ancestors you have turned aside from my rules, and have not kept them! Return to me and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts, “but you say, ‘How shall we return?’
万军之耶和华说: 从你们列祖的日子以来, 你们常常偏离我的典章而不遵守. 现在你们要转向我, 我就转向你们. 你们却问说: ‘我们如何才是转向呢? ’

3:8 Will a human dare to rob God? Yet you are robbing me! And you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In the tithes and the contributions!
人岂可夺取神之物呢? 你们竟夺取我的供物. 你们却说: ‘我们在何事上夺取你的供物呢? ’就是你们在当纳的十分之一和当献的供物上.

3:9 You are being cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you!
因你们通国的人都夺取我的供物, 咒诅就临到你们身上.

3:10 Bring the whole tithe to the storehouse, so that there will be food in my house, and test me please in this,” says Yahweh of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour forth for you an overflowing blessing.
万军之耶和华说: 你们要将当纳的十分之一全然送入仓库, 使我家有粮, 以此试试我, 是否为你们敞开天上的窗户, 倾福与你们, 甚至无处可容.

3:11 I will rebuke the devourer for you; it will not destroy the fruit of your soil; your vine in the field will not be unfruitful,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: 我必为你们斥责蝗虫(原文是吞噬者), 不容牠毁坏你们的土产. 你们田间的葡萄树在未熟之先也不掉果子.

3:12 “And all the nations will call you blessed, because you will be a land in which one takes joy,” says Yahweh of hosts.
万军之耶和华说: 万国必称你们为有福的, 因你们的地必成为喜乐之地. ”

3:13 “Your words have been harsh against me,” says Yahweh. “But you say, ‘How have we spoken together against you?’
耶和华说: “你们用话顶撞我, 你们还说: ‘我们用甚么话顶撞了你呢? ’

3:14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God! What is the gain if we keep his requirements, and if we walk as mourners before Yahweh of hosts?
你们说: ‘事奉神是徒然的, 遵守神所吩咐的, 在万军之耶和华面前苦苦斋戒, 有甚么益处呢?

3:15 And now we are calling the arrogant blessed! Not only do those who do wickedness prosper; they also test God and they escape!’ ”
如今我们称狂傲的人为有福, 并且行恶的人得建立; 他们虽然试探神, 却得脱离灾难. ’”

3:16 Then those who revered Yahweh spoke with one another. And Yahweh listened attentively and heard, and a scroll of remembrance was written before him of those who revere Yahweh and ponder his name.
那时, 敬畏耶和华的彼此谈论, 耶和华侧耳而听, 且有纪念册在他面前, 记录那敬畏耶和华,思念他名的人.

3:17 “They will be mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the day that I am acting, my treasured possession. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.
万军之耶和华说: “在我所定的日子, 他们必属我, 特特归我. 我必怜恤他们, 如同人怜恤服事自己的儿子.

3:18 You will return and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him.
那时你们必归回, 将善人和恶人, 事奉神的和不事奉神的, 分别出来. ”

Malachi - Chapter 4

4:1 “For look! The day is about to come, burning like an oven, and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble. The coming day will consume them,” says Yahweh of hosts. “It will not leave behind for them root or branch.
万军之耶和华说: “那日临近, 势如烧着的火炉, 凡狂傲的和行恶的必如碎秸, 在那日必被烧尽, 根本枝条一无存留.

4:2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise, with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like fattened calves.
但向你们敬畏我名的人必有公义的日头出现, 其光线(原文是翅膀)有医治之能. 你们必出来跳跃如圈里的肥犊.

4:3 You will trample down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I am going to act,” says Yahweh of hosts.
你们必践踏恶人; 在我所定的日子, 他们必如灰尘在你们脚掌之下. 这是万军之耶和华说的.

4:4 “Remember the instruction of my servant Moses, which I commanded him at Horeb to all Israel, the rules and regulations.
“你们当记念我仆人摩西的律法, 就是我在何烈山为以色列众人所吩咐他的律例典章.

4:5 Look! I am going to send to you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh!
“看哪, 耶和华大而可畏之日未到以前, 我必差遣先知以利亚到你们那里去.

4:6 And he will bring back the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the land with a ban.”
他必使父亲的心转向儿女, 儿女的心转向父亲, 免得我来咒诅遍地. ”

1:17 Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ are fourteen generations.
这样, 从亚伯拉罕到大卫共有十四代; 从大卫到迁至巴比伦的时候也有十四代; 从迁至巴比伦的时候到基督又有十四代.

1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
耶稣基督降生的事记在下面: 他母亲马利亚已经许配了约瑟, 还没有迎娶, 马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕.

1:19 So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.
她丈夫约瑟是个义人, 不愿意明明地羞辱她, 想要暗暗地把她休了.

1:20 But as he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
正思念这事的时候, 有主的使者向他梦中显现, 说: “大卫的子孙约瑟, 不要怕! 只管娶过你的妻子马利亚来, 因她所怀的孕是从圣灵来的.

1:21 And she will give birth to a son, and you will call his name ‘Jesus,’ because he will save his people from their sins.”
她将要生一个儿子, 你要给他起名叫耶稣, 因他要将自己的百姓从罪恶里救出来. ”

1:22 Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
这一切的事成就是要应验主藉先知所说的话,

1:23 “Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
说: 必有童女怀孕生子; 人要称他的名为以马内利. (以马内利翻出来就是“神与我们同在”. )

1:24 And Joseph, when he woke up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and he took his wife
约瑟醒了, 起来, 就遵著主使者的吩咐把妻子娶过来;

1:25 and did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
只是没有和她同房, 等她生了儿子(有古卷: 等她生了头胎的儿子), 就给他起名叫耶稣.

Matthew - Chapter 2

2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
当希律王的时候, 耶稣生在犹太的伯利恒. 有几个博士从东方来到耶路撒冷, 说:

2:2 saying, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rising and have come to worship him.”
“那生下来作犹太人之王的在哪里? 我们在东方看见他的星, 特来拜他. ”

2:3 And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,
希律王听见了, 就心里不安; 耶路撒冷合城的人也都不安.

2:4 and after calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ was to be born.
他就召齐了祭司长和民间的文士, 问他们说: “基督当生在何处? ”

2:5 So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
他们回答说: “在犹太的伯利恒. 因为有先知记着, 说:

2:6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for from you will go out a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’ ”
犹大地的伯利恒啊, 你在犹大诸城中并不是最小的; 因为将来有一位君王要从你那里出来, 牧养我以色列民. ”

2:7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and determined precisely from them the time when the star appeared.
当下, 希律暗暗地召了博士来, 细问那星是甚么时候出现的,

2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go, inquire carefully concerning the child, and when you have found him, report to me so that I also may come and worship him.”
就差他们往伯利恒去, 说: “你们去仔细寻访那小孩子, 寻到了就来报信, 我也好去拜他. ”

2:9 After they listened to the king, they went out, and behold, the star which they had seen at its rising led them until it came and stood above the place where the child was.
他们听见王的话就去了. 在东方所看见的那星忽然在他们前头行, 直行到小孩子的地方, 就在上头停住了.

2:10 Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
他们看见那星, 就大大地欢喜;

2:11 And when they came into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. And opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
进了房子, 看见小孩子和他母亲马利亚, 就俯伏拜那小孩子, 揭开宝盒, 拿黄金,乳香,没药为礼物献给他.

2:12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route.
博士因为在梦中被主指示不要回去见希律, 就从别的路回本地去了.

2:13 Now after they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.”
他们去后, 有主的使者向约瑟梦中显现, 说: “起来! 带着小孩子同他母亲逃往埃及, 住在那里, 等我吩咐你; 因为希律必寻找小孩子, 要除灭他. ”

2:14 So he got up and took the child and his mother during the night and went away to Egypt.
约瑟就起来, 夜间带着小孩子和他母亲往埃及去,

2:15 And he was there until the death of Herod, in order that what was said by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
住在那里, 直到希律死了. 这是要应验主藉先知所说的话, 说: “我从埃及召出我的儿子来. ”

2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deceived by the wise men, became very angry, and he sent soldiers and executed all the children in Bethlehem and in all the region around it from the age of two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined precisely from the wise men.
希律见自己被博士愚弄, 就大大发怒, 差人将伯利恒城里并四境所有的男孩, 照着他向博士仔细查问的时候, 凡两岁以里的, 都杀尽了.

2:17 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying,
这就应了先知耶利米的话, 说:

2:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because they exist no longer.”
在拉玛听见号咷大哭的声音, 是拉结哭她儿女, 不肯受安慰, 因为他们都不在了.

2:19 Now after Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
希律死了以后, 有主的使者在埃及向约瑟梦中显现, 说:

2:20 saying, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead.”
“起来! 带着小孩子和他母亲往以色列地去, 因为要害小孩子性命的人已经死了. ”

2:21 So he got up and took the child and his mother and entered the land of Israel.
约瑟就起来, 把小孩子和他母亲带到以色列地去;

2:22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream, he took refuge in the regions of Galilee.
只因听见亚基老接着他父亲希律作了犹太王, 就怕往那里去, 又在梦中被主指示, 便往加利利境内去了,

2:23 And he came and lived in a town called Nazareth, in order that what was said by the prophets would be fulfilled: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
到了一座城, 名叫拿撒勒, 就住在那里. 这是要应验先知所说, 他将称为拿撒勒人的话了.

Matthew - Chapter 3

3:1 Now in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the Judean wilderness
那时, 有施洗的约翰出来, 在犹太的旷野传道, 说:

3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near!”
“天国近了, 你们应当悔改! ”

3:3 For this is the one who was spoken about by the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’ ”
这人就是先知以赛亚所说的. 他说: “在旷野有人声喊著说: 预备主的道, 修直他的路! ”

3:4 Now John himself had his clothing made from camel’s hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
这约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服, 腰束皮带, 吃的是蝗虫,野蜜.

3:5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan were going out to him,
那时, 耶路撒冷和犹太全地, 并约旦河一带地方的人, 都出去到约翰那里,

3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.
承认他们的罪, 在约旦河里受他的洗.

3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来受洗, 就对他们说: “毒蛇的种类! 谁指示你们逃避将来的忿怒呢?

3:8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
你们要结出果子来, 与悔改的心相称.

3:9 And do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
不要自己心里说: ‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗. ’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来.

3:10 Already now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
现在斧子已经放在树根上, 凡不结好果子的树就砍下来, 丢在火里.

3:11 I baptize you with water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is more powerful than I am, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
我是用水给你们施洗, 叫你们悔改. 但那在我以后来的, 能力比我更大, 我就是给他提鞋也不配. 他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗.

3:12 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will clean out his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
他手里拿着簸箕, 要扬净他的场, 把麦子收在仓里, 把糠用不灭的火烧尽了. ”

3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John in order to be baptized by him.
当下, 耶稣从加利利来到约旦河, 见了约翰, 要受他的洗.

3:14 But John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
约翰想要拦住他, 说: “我当受你的洗, 你反倒上我这里来吗? ”

3:15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it now, for in this way it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted him.
耶稣回答说: “你暂且许我, 因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义(或译: 礼). ”于是约翰许了他.

3:16 Now after he was baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove coming upon him.
耶稣受了洗, 随即从水里上来. 天忽然为他开了, 他就看见神的灵仿佛鸽子降下, 落在他身上.

3:17 And behold, there was a voice from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
从天上有声音说: “这是我的爱子, 我所喜悦的. ”

Matthew - Chapter 4

4:1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil,
当时, 耶稣被圣灵引到旷野, 受魔鬼的试探.

4:2 and after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he was hungry.
他禁食四十昼夜, 后来就饿了.

4:3 And the tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order that these stones become bread.”
那试探人的进前来, 对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 可以吩咐这些石头变成食物. ”

4:4 But he answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.”
耶稣却回答说: “经上记着说: 人活着, 不是单靠食物, 乃是靠神口里所出的一切话. ”

4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the highest point of the temple
魔鬼就带他进了圣城, 叫他站在殿顶(顶: 原文是翅)上,

4:6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down! For it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 可以跳下去, 因为经上记着说: 主要为你吩咐他的使者用手托著你, 免得你的脚碰在石头上. ”

4:7 Jesus said to him, “On the other hand it is written, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”
耶稣对他说: “经上又记着说: ‘不可试探主─你的神. ’”

4:8 Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
魔鬼又带他上了一座最高的山, 将世上的万国与万国的荣华都指给他看,

4:9 and he said to him, “I will give to you all these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
对他说: “你若俯伏拜我, 我就把这一切都赐给你. ”

4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan, for it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”
耶稣说: “撒但(就是抵挡的意思, 乃魔鬼的别名), 退去吧! 因为经上记着说: 当拜主－你的神, 单要事奉他. ”

4:11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and began ministering to him.
于是, 魔鬼离了耶稣, 有天使来伺候他.

4:12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
耶稣听见约翰下了监, 就退到加利利去;

4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
后又离开拿撒勒, 往迦百农去, 就住在那里. 那地方靠海, 在西布伦和拿弗他利的边界上.

4:14 in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,
这是要应验先知以赛亚的话,

4:15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, toward the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
说: 西布伦地, 拿弗他利地, 就是沿海的路, 约旦河外, 外邦人的加利利地─

4:16 the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned on them.”
那坐在黑暗里的百姓看见了大光; 坐在死荫之地的人有光发现照着他们.

4:17 From that time on, Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”
从那时候, 耶稣就传起道来, 说: “天国近了, 你们应当悔改! ”

4:18 Now as he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
耶稣在加利利海边行走, 看见弟兄二人, 就是那称呼彼得的西门和他兄弟安得烈, 在海里撒网; 他们本是打鱼的.

4:19 And he said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of people.”
耶稣对他们说: “来跟从我, 我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样. ”

4:20 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
他们就立刻舍了网, 跟从了他.

4:21 And going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.
从那里往前走, 又看见弟兄二人, 西庇太的儿子雅各和他兄弟约翰, 同他们的父亲西庇太在船上补网, 耶稣就招呼他们,

4:22 And immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
他们立刻舍了船, 别了父亲, 跟从了耶稣.

4:23 And he went around through all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
耶稣走遍加利利, 在各会堂里教训人, 传天国的福音, 医治百姓各样的病症.

4:24 And a report about him went out throughout Syria, and they brought to him all those who were sick with various diseases and afflicted by torments, demon-possessed and epileptics and paralytics, and he healed them.
他的名声就传遍了叙利亚. 那里的人把一切害病的, 就是害各样疾病,各样疼痛的和被鬼附的,癫痫的,瘫痪的, 都带了来, 耶稣就治好了他们.

4:25 And large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from the other side of the Jordan.
当下, 有许多人从加利利,低加坡里,耶路撒冷,犹太,约旦河外来跟着他.

Matthew - Chapter 5

5:1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain and after he sat down, his disciples approached him.
耶稣看见这许多的人, 就上了山, 既已坐下, 门徒到他跟前来,

5:2 And opening his mouth he began to teach them, saying,
他就开口教训他们, 说:

5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
虚心的人有福了! 因为天国是他们的.

5:4 Blessed are the ones who mourn, because they will be comforted.
哀恸的人有福了! 因为他们必得安慰.

使人和睦的人有福了! 因为他们必称为神的儿子.

5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
为义受逼迫的人有福了! 因为天国是他们的.

5:11 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you, lying on account of me.
“人若因我辱骂你们, 逼迫你们, 捏造各样坏话毁谤你们, 你们就有福了!

5:12 Rejoice and be glad, because your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
应当欢喜快乐, 因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的. 在你们以前的先知, 人也是这样逼迫他们. ”

5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, by what will it be made salty? It is good for nothing any longer except to be thrown outside and trampled under foot by people.
“你们是世上的盐. 盐若失了味, 怎能叫它再咸呢? 以后无用, 不过丢在外面, 被人践踏了.

5:14 You are the light of the world. A city located on top of a hill cannot be hidden,
你们是世上的光. 城造在山上是不能隐藏的.

5:15 nor do they light a lamp and place it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on all those in the house.
人点灯, 不放在斗底下, 是放在灯台上, 就照亮一家的人.

5:16 In the same way let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
你们的光也当这样照在人前, 叫他们看见你们的好行为, 便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父. ”

5:17 “Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have not come to destroy them but to fulfill them.
“莫想我来要废掉律法和先知. 我来不是要废掉, 乃是要成全.

5:18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place.
我实在告诉你们, 就是到天地都废去了, 律法的一点一画也不能废去, 都要成全.

5:19 Therefore whoever abolishes one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps them and teaches them, this person will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
所以, 无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条, 又教训人这样做, 他在天国要称为最小的. 但无论何人遵行这诫命, 又教训人遵行, 他在天国要称为大的.

5:20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.
我告诉你们, 你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义, 断不能进天国. ”

5:21 “You have heard that it was said to the people of old, ‘Do not commit murder,’ and ‘whoever commits murder will be subject to judgment.’
“你们听见有吩咐古人的话, 说: ‘不可杀人’; 又说: ‘凡杀人的难免受审判. ’

5:22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother will be subject to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Stupid fool!’ will be subject to the council, and whoever says, ‘Obstinate fool!’ will be subject to fiery hell.
只是我告诉你们, 凡(有古卷在凡字下加: 无缘无故地)向弟兄动怒的, 难免受审断; 凡骂弟兄是拉加的, 难免公会的审断; 凡骂弟兄是魔利的, 难免地狱的火.

5:23 Therefore if you present your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
所以, 你在祭坛上献礼物的时候, 若想起弟兄向你怀怨,

5:24 leave your gift there before the altar and first go be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your gift.
就把礼物留在坛前, 先去同弟兄和好, 然后来献礼物.

5:25 Settle the case quickly with your accuser while you are with him on the way, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
你同告你的对头还在路上, 就赶紧与他和息, 恐怕他把你送给审判官, 审判官交付衙役, 你就下在监里了.

5:26 Truly I say to you, you will never come out of there until you have paid back the last penny!
我实在告诉你, 若有一文钱没有还清, 你断不能从那里出来. ”

5:27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
“你们听见有话说: ‘不可奸淫. ’

5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
只是我告诉你们, 凡看见妇女就动淫念的, 这人心里已经与她犯奸淫了.

5:29 And if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members be destroyed than your whole body be thrown into hell.
若是你的右眼叫你跌倒, 就剜出来丢掉, 宁可失去百体中的一体, 不叫全身丢在地狱里.

5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your limbs be destroyed than your whole body go into hell.
若是右手叫你跌倒, 就砍下来丢掉, 宁可失去百体中的一体, 不叫全身下入地狱. ”

5:31 “And it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’
“又有话说: ‘人若休妻, 就当给她休书. ’

5:32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
只是我告诉你们, 凡休妻的, 若不是为淫乱的缘故, 就是叫她作淫妇了; 人若娶这被休的妇人, 也是犯奸淫了. ”

5:33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the people of old, ‘Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.’
“你们又听见有吩咐古人的话, 说: ‘不可背誓, 所起的誓总要向主谨守. ’

5:34 But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
只是我告诉你们, 甚么誓都不可起. 不可指著天起誓, 因为天是神的座位;

5:35 or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king.
不可指著地起誓, 因为地是他的脚凳; 也不可指著耶路撒冷起誓, 因为耶路撒冷是大君的京城;

5:36 And do not swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
又不可指著你的头起誓, 因为你不能使一根头发变黑变白了.

5:37 But let your statement be ‘Yes, yes; no, no,’ and anything beyond these is from the evil one.
你们的话, 是, 就说是; 不是, 就说不是; 若再多说, 就是出于那恶者(或译: 就是从恶里出来的). ”

5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
“你们听见有话说: ‘以眼还眼, 以牙还牙. ’

5:39 But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also.
只是我告诉你们, 不要与恶人作对. 有人打你的右脸, 连左脸也转过来由他打;

5:40 And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, let him have your outer garment also.
有人想要告你, 要拿你的里衣, 连外衣也由他拿去;

5:41 And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
有人强逼你走一里路, 你就同他走二里;

5:42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
有求你的, 就给他; 有向你借贷的, 不可推辞. ”

5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’
“你们听见有话说: ‘当爱你的邻舍, 恨你的仇敌. ’

5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
只是我告诉你们, 要爱你们的仇敌, 为那逼迫你们的祷告.

5:45 in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven, because he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust.
这样就可以作你们天父的儿子; 因为他叫日头照好人, 也照歹人; 降雨给义人, 也给不义的人.

5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not the tax collectors also do the same?
你们若单爱那爱你们的人, 有甚么赏赐呢? 就是税吏不也是这样行吗?

5:47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing that is remarkable? Do not the Gentiles also do the same?
你们若单请你弟兄的安, 比人有甚么长处呢? 就是外邦人不也是这样行吗?

5:48 Therefore you be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
所以, 你们要完全, 像你们的天父完全一样. ”

Matthew - Chapter 6

6:1 “And take care not to practice your righteousness before people to be seen by them; otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
“你们要小心, 不可将善事行在人的面前, 故意叫他们看见, 若是这样, 就不能得你们天父的赏赐了.

所以, 你施舍的时候, 不可在你前面吹号, 像那假冒为善的人在会堂里和街道上所行的, 故意要得人的荣耀. 我实在告诉你们, 他们已经得了他们的赏赐.

6:8 Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
你们不可效法他们; 因为你们没有祈求以先, 你们所需用的, 你们的父早已知道了.

6:9 Therefore you pray in this way: “Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be treated as holy.
所以, 你们祷告要这样说: 我们在天上的父: 愿人都尊你的名为圣.

免我们的债, 如同我们免了人的债.

6:13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
不叫我们遇见试探; 救我们脱离凶恶(或译: 脱离恶者). 因为国度,权柄,荣耀, 全是你的, 直到永远. 阿们(有古卷没有因为……阿们等字)!

6:14 For if you forgive people their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
“你们饶恕人的过犯, 你们的天父也必饶恕你们的过犯;

6:15 But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your sins.

你禁食的时候, 要梳头洗脸,

6:18 so that you will not be seen by people as fasting, but to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
不叫人看出你禁食来, 只叫你暗中的父看见; 你父在暗中察看, 必然报答你. ”

6:20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor consuming insect destroy and where thieves do not break in or steal.

6:25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body more than clothing?
“所以我告诉你们, 不要为生命忧虑吃甚么, 喝甚么; 为身体忧虑穿甚么. 生命不胜于饮食吗? 身体不胜于衣裳吗?

6:26 Consider the birds of the sky, that they do not sow or reap or gather produce into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are?
你们看那天上的飞鸟, 也不种, 也不收, 也不积蓄在仓里, 你们的天父尚且养活牠. 你们不比飞鸟贵重得多吗?

6:27 And who among you, by being anxious, is able to add one hour to his life span?
你们哪一个能用思虑使寿数多加一刻呢(或译: 使身量多加一肘呢)?

6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil or spin,

6:29 but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.
然而我告诉你们, 就是所罗门极荣华的时候, 他所穿戴的, 还不如这花一朵呢!

6:30 But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not do so much more for you, you of little faith?
你们这小信的人哪! 野地里的草今天还在, 明天就丢在炉里, 神还给它这样的妆饰, 何况你们呢!

6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?,’
所以, 不要忧虑说, 吃甚么? 喝甚么? 穿甚么?

6:32 for the pagans seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
这都是外邦人所求的, 你们需用的这一切东西, 你们的天父是知道的.

6:33 But seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
你们要先求他的国和他的义, 这些东西都要加给你们了.

6:34 Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
所以, 不要为明天忧虑, 因为明天自有明天的忧虑; 一天的难处一天当就够了. ”

Matthew - Chapter 7

7:3 And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam of wood in your own eye?

你自己眼中有梁木, 怎能对你弟兄说: ‘容我去掉你眼中的刺’呢?

7:5 Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye!
你这假冒为善的人! 先去掉自己眼中的梁木, 然后才能看得清楚, 去掉你弟兄眼中的刺.

7:10 Or also if he will ask for a fish, will give him a snake?
求鱼, 反给他蛇呢?

7:11 Therefore if you, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
你们虽然不好, 尚且知道拿好东西给儿女, 何况你们在天上的父, 岂不更把好东西给求他的人吗?

7:12 Therefore in all things, whatever you want that people should do to you, thus also you do to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
所以, 无论何事, 你们愿意人怎样待你们, 你们也要怎样待人, 因为这就是律法和先知的道理. ”

7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it,

7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits: they do not gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles, do they?
凭著他们的果子, 就可以认出他们来. 荆棘上岂能摘葡萄呢? 蒺藜里岂能摘无花果呢?

7:17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.
这样, 凡好树都结好果子, 惟独坏树结坏果子.

7:18 A good tree is not able to produce bad fruit, nor a bad tree to produce good fruit.
好树不能结坏果子; 坏树不能结好果子.

7:19 Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
凡不结好果子的树就砍下来, 丢在火里.

7:20 As a result, you will recognize them by their fruits.
所以, 凭著他们的果子就可以认出他们来. ”

7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

7:22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?’
当那日必有许多人对我说: ‘主啊, 主啊, 我们不是奉你的名传道, 奉你的名赶鬼, 奉你的名行许多异能吗? ’

7:23 And then I will say to them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’
我就明明地告诉他们说: ‘我从来不认识你们, 你们这些作恶的人, 离开我去吧! ’”

7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
“所以, 凡听见我这话就去行的, 好比一个聪明人, 把房子盖在磐石上;

7:25 And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it did not collapse, because its foundation was laid on the rock.
雨淋, 水冲, 风吹, 撞著那房子, 房子总不倒塌, 因为根基立在磐石上.

7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
凡听见我这话不去行的, 好比一个无知的人, 把房子盖在沙土上;

7:27 And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed, and its fall was great.”

耶稣伸手摸他, 说: “我肯, 你洁净了吧! ”他的大痲疯立刻就洁净了.

8:4 And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
耶稣对他说: “你切不可告诉人, 只要去把身体给祭司察看, 献上摩西所吩咐的礼物, 对众人作证据. ”

8:5 Now when he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him, appealing to him
耶稣进了迦百农, 有一个百夫长进前来, 求他说:

8:6 and saying, “Lord, my slave is lying paralyzed in my house, terribly tormented!”
“主啊, 我的仆人害瘫痪病, 躺在家里, 甚是疼苦. ”

8:7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
耶稣说: “我去医治他. ”

8:8 And the centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. But only say the word and my slave will be healed.
百夫长回答说: “主啊, 你到我舍下, 我不敢当; 只要你说一句话, 我的仆人就必好了.

8:9 For I also am a man under authority who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
因为我在人的权下, 也有兵在我以下; 对这个说: ‘去! ’他就去; 对那个说: ‘来! ’他就来; 对我的仆人说: ‘你做这事! ’他就去做. ”

8:10 Now when Jesus heard this, he was astonished, and said to those who were following him, “Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith with no one in Israel.
耶稣听见就希奇, 对跟从的人说: “我实在告诉你们, 这么大的信心, 就是在以色列中, 我也没有遇见过.

8:11 But I say to you that many will come from east and west and be seated at the banquet with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
我又告诉你们, 从东从西, 将有许多人来, 在天国里与亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各一同坐席;

8:12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!”
惟有本国的子民竟被赶到外边黑暗里去, 在那里必要哀哭切齿了. ”

8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, as you have believed it will be done for you.” And the slave was healed at that hour.
耶稣对百夫长说: “你回去吧! 照你的信心, 给你成全了. ”那时, 他的仆人就好了.

8:14 And when Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down and suffering with a fever.
耶稣到了彼得家里, 见彼得的岳母害热病躺着.

8:15 And he touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.
耶稣把她的手一摸, 热就退了; 她就起来服事耶稣.

8:16 Now when it was evening, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed, and he expelled the spirits with a word. And he healed all those who were sick,
到了晚上, 有人带着许多被鬼附的来到耶稣跟前, 他只用一句话就把鬼都赶出去, 并且治好了一切有病的人.

8:17 in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, “He himself took away our sicknesses, and carried away our diseases.”
这是要应验先知以赛亚的话, 说: 他代替我们的软弱, 担当我们的疾病.

8:18 Now when Jesus saw many crowds around him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.
耶稣见许多人围着他, 就吩咐渡到那边去.

8:19 And a scribe approached and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
有一个文士来, 对他说: “夫子, 你无论往哪里去, 我要跟从你. ”

8:20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
耶稣说: “狐狸有洞, 天空的飞鸟有窝, 人子却没有枕头的地方. ”

8:21 And another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
又有一个门徒对耶稣说: “主啊, 容我先回去埋葬我的父亲. ”

8:22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead!”
耶稣说: “任凭死人埋葬他们的死人; 你跟从我吧! ”

8:23 And as he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.
耶稣上了船, 门徒跟着他.

8:24 And behold, a great storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being inundated by the waves, but he himself was asleep.
海里忽然起了暴风, 甚至船被波浪掩盖; 耶稣却睡着了.

8:25 And they came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
门徒来叫醒了他, 说: “主啊, 救我们, 我们丧命啦! ”

8:26 And he said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea and there was a great calm.
耶稣说: “你们这小信的人哪, 为甚么胆怯呢? ”于是起来, 斥责风和海, 风和海就大大地平静了.

8:27 And the men were astonished, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?”
众人希奇, 说: “这是怎样的人? 连风和海也听从他了! ”

8:28 And when he came to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from among the tombs met him, very violent, so that no one was able to pass by along that road.
耶稣既渡到那边去, 来到加大拉人的地方, 就有两个被鬼附的人从坟茔里出来迎著他, 极其凶猛, 甚至没有人能从那条路上经过.

8:29 And behold, they cried out, saying, “What do you have to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
他们喊著说: “神的儿子, 我们与你有甚么相干? 时候还没有到, 你就上这里来叫我们受苦吗? ”

8:30 Now a long way from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.
离他们很远, 有一大群猪吃食.

8:31 So the demons implored him, saying, “If you are going to expel us, send us into the herd of pigs.”
鬼就央求耶稣, 说: “若把我们赶出去, 就打发我们进入猪群吧! ”

8:32 And he said to them, “Go!” So they departed and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and drowned in the water.
耶稣说: “去吧! ”鬼就出来, 进入猪群. 全群忽然闯下山崖, 投在海里淹死了.

8:33 Now the herdsmen fled and went into the town and reported everything, including the things concerning the demon-possessed men.
放猪的就逃跑进城, 将这一切事和被鬼附的人所遭遇的都告诉人.

8:34 And behold, the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they implored him that he would depart from their region.
合城的人都出来迎见耶稣, 既见了就央求他离开他们的境界.

Matthew - Chapter 9

9:1 And getting into a boat, he crossed over and came to his own town.
耶稣上了船, 渡过海, 来到自己的城里.

9:2 And behold, they brought to him a paralytic lying on a stretcher, and when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Have courage, child, your sins are forgiven.”
有人用褥子抬着一个瘫子到耶稣跟前来. 耶稣见他们的信心, 就对瘫子说: “小子, 放心吧! 你的罪赦了. ”

9:3 And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
有几个文士心里说: “这个人说僭妄的话了. ”

9:4 And knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
耶稣知道他们的心意, 就说: “你们为甚么心里怀着恶念呢?

9:5 For which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
或说‘你的罪赦了’, 或说‘你起来行走’, 哪一样容易呢?

9:6 But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” then he said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your stretcher and go to your home.”
但要叫你们知道, 人子在地上有赦罪的权柄”; 就对瘫子说: “起来! 拿你的褥子回家去吧. ”

众人看见都惊奇, 就归荣耀与神, 因为他将这样的权柄赐给人.

9:9 And as Jesus was going away from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth and said to him, “Follow me!” And he stood up and followed him.
耶稣从那里往前走, 看见一个人名叫马太, 坐在税关上, 就对他说: “你跟从我来. ”他就起来跟从了耶稣.

法利赛人看见, 就对耶稣的门徒说: “你们的先生为甚么和税吏并罪人一同吃饭呢? ”

9:12 And when he heard it, he said, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.
耶稣听见, 就说: “康健的人用不著医生, 有病的人才用得着.

9:13 But go and learn what it means, “I want mercy and not sacrifice.” For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
经上说: ‘我喜爱怜恤, 不喜爱祭祀. ’这句话的意思, 你们且去揣摩. 我来本不是召义人, 乃是召罪人. ”

9:14 Then the disciples of John approached him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?”
那时, 约翰的门徒来见耶稣, 说: “我们和法利赛人常常禁食, 你的门徒倒不禁食, 这是为甚么呢? ”

9:15 And Jesus said to them, “The bridegroom’s attendants are not able to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them. But days are coming when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
耶稣对他们说: “新郎和陪伴之人同在的时候, 陪伴之人岂能哀恸呢? 但日子将到, 新郎要离开他们, 那时候他们就要禁食.

9:16 But no one puts a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment, for its patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear becomes worse.
没有人把新布补在旧衣服上; 因为所补上的反带坏了那衣服, 破的就更大了.

9:17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wineskins burst and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are destroyed. But they put new wine into new wineskins and both are preserved.”
也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里; 若是这样, 皮袋就裂开, 酒漏出来, 连皮袋也坏了. 惟独把新酒装在新皮袋里, 两样就都保全了. ”

9:18 As he was saying these things to them, behold, one of the rulers came and knelt down before him, saying, “My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!”
耶稣说这话的时候, 有一个管会堂的来拜他, 说: “我女儿刚才死了, 求你去按手在她身上, 她就必活了. ”

9:21 for she said to herself, “If only I touch his cloak I will be healed.”

9:22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Have courage, daughter! Your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that hour.

9:25 But when the crowd had been sent out, he entered and took her hand, and the girl got up.
众人既被撵出, 耶稣就进去, 拉着闺女的手, 闺女便起来了.

9:26 And this report went out into that whole region.
于是这风声传遍了那地方.

9:27 And as Jesus was going away from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
耶稣从那里往前走, 有两个瞎子跟着他, 喊叫说: “大卫的子孙, 可怜我们吧! ”

9:28 And when he came into the house, the blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
耶稣进了房子, 瞎子就来到他跟前. 耶稣说: “你们信我能做这事吗? ”他们说: “主啊, 我们信. ”

9:29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be done for you.”
耶稣就摸他们的眼睛, 说: “照着你们的信给你们成全了吧. ”

9:31 But they went out and spread the report about him in that whole region.
他们出去, 竟把他的名声传遍了那地方.

9:32 Now as they were going away, behold, they brought to him a demon-possessed man who was unable to speak.

9:33 And after the demon had been expelled, the one who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished, saying, “This has never been seen before in Israel!”
鬼被赶出去, 哑巴就说出话来. 众人都希奇, 说: “在以色列中, 从来没有见过这样的事. ”

9:34 But the Pharisees were saying, “By the ruler of demons he expels the demons!”
法利赛人却说: “他是靠着鬼王赶鬼. ”

9:35 And Jesus was going around all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness.
耶稣走遍各城各乡, 在会堂里教训人, 宣讲天国的福音, 又医治各样的病症.

9:36 And when he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd.
他看见许多的人, 就怜悯他们; 因为他们困苦流离, 如同羊没有牧人一般.

9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
于是对门徒说: “要收的庄稼多, 做工的人少.

9:38 Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest.”
所以, 你们当求庄稼的主打发工人出去收他的庄稼. ”

学生不能高过先生; 仆人不能高过主人.

人因为先知的名接待先知, 必得先知所得的赏赐; 人因为义人的名接待义人, 必得义人所得的赏赐.

10:42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward.”
无论何人, 因为门徒的名, 只把一杯凉水给这小子里的一个喝, 我实在告诉你们, 这人不能不得赏赐. ”

Matthew - Chapter 11

11:1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished giving orders to his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and to preach in their towns.
耶稣吩咐完了十二个门徒, 就离开那里, 往各城去传道,教训人.

11:2 Now when John heard in prison the deeds of Christ, he sent word by his disciples
约翰在监里听见基督所做的事, 就打发两个门徒去,

11:3 and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
问他说: “那将要来的是你吗? 还是我们等候别人呢? ”

11:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:
耶稣回答说: “你们去, 把所听见,所看见的事告诉约翰.

11:5 the blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have good news announced to them.
就是瞎子看见, 瘸子行走, 长大痲疯的洁净, 聋子听见, 死人复活, 穷人有福音传给他们.

11:6 And whoever is not offended by me is blessed.”
凡不因我跌倒的就有福了! ”

11:7 Now as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
他们走的时候, 耶稣就对众人讲论约翰说: “你们从前出到旷野是要看甚么呢? 要看风吹动的芦苇吗?

11:8 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings.
你们出去到底是要看甚么? 要看穿细软衣服的人吗? 那穿细软衣服的人是在王宫里.

11:9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
你们出去究竟是为甚么? 是要看先知吗? 我告诉你们, 是的, 他比先知大多了.

11:10 It is this man about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
经上记着说: ‘我要差遣我的使者在你前面预备道路’, 所说的就是这个人.

11:11 Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen one greater than John the Baptist. But the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
我实在告诉你们, 凡妇人所生的, 没有一个兴起来大过施洗约翰的; 然而天国里最小的比他还大.

11:12 But from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated violently, and the violent claim it.
从施洗约翰的时候到如今, 天国是努力进入的, 努力的人就得着了.

11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John,
因为众先知和律法说预言, 到约翰为止.

11:14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is going to come.
你们若肯领受, 这人就是那应当来的以利亚.

11:15 The one who has ears, let him hear!
有耳可听的, 就应当听!

11:16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another,
我可用甚么比这世代呢? 好像孩童坐在街市上招呼同伴, 说:

11:17 saying, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not mourn.’
我们向你们吹笛, 你们不跳舞; 我们向你们举哀, 你们不捶胸.

11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
约翰来了, 也不吃也不喝, 人就说他是被鬼附着的;

11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a man who is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
人子来了, 也吃也喝, 人又说他是贪食好酒的人, 是税吏和罪人的朋友. 但智慧之子总以智慧为是(有古卷: 但智慧在行为上就显为是). ”

11:20 Then he began to reproach the towns in which the majority of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:
耶稣在诸城中行了许多异能, 那些城的人终不悔改, 就在那时候责备他们, 说:

11:21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
“哥拉汛哪, 你有祸了! 伯赛大啊, 你有祸了! 因为在你们中间所行的异能, 若行在泰尔,西顿, 他们早已披麻蒙灰悔改了.

11:22 Nevertheless I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and for Sidon on the day of judgment than for you!
但我告诉你们, 当审判的日子, 泰尔,西顿所受的, 比你们还容易受呢!

11:23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today.
迦百农啊, 你已经升到天上(或译: 你将要升到天上吗), 将来必坠落阴间; 因为在你那里所行的异能, 若行在所多玛, 它还可以存到今日.

11:24 Nevertheless I tell you that it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you!”
但我告诉你们, 当审判的日子, 所多玛所受的, 比你还容易受呢! ”

11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to young children.
那时, 耶稣说: “父啊, 天地的主, 我感谢你! 因为你将这些事向聪明通达人就藏起来, 向婴孩就显出来.

11:26 Yes, Father, for to do so was your gracious will.
父啊, 是的, 因为你的美意本是如此.

11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.
一切所有的, 都是我父交付我的; 除了父, 没有人知道子; 除了子和子所愿意指示的, 没有人知道父.

11:28 Come to me, all of you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
凡劳苦担重担的人可以到我这里来, 我就使你们得安息.

11:29 Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
我心里柔和谦卑, 你们当负我的轭, 学我的样式; 这样, 你们心里就必得享安息.

11:30 For my yoke is easy to carry and my burden is light.”
因为我的轭是容易的, 我的担子是轻省的. ”

Matthew - Chapter 12

12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. And his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck off heads of grain and eat them.
那时, 耶稣在安息日从麦地经过. 他的门徒饿了, 就掐起麦穗来吃.

12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!”
法利赛人看见, 就对耶稣说: “看哪, 你的门徒做安息日不可做的事了! ”

12:3 So he said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him,
耶稣对他们说: “经上记着大卫和跟从他的人饥饿之时所做的事, 你们没有念过吗?

12:4 how he entered into the house of God and ate the bread of the presentation, which it was not permitted for him or for those with him to eat, but only for the priests?
他怎么进了神的殿, 吃了陈设饼, 这饼不是他和跟从他的人可以吃得, 惟独祭司才可以吃.

12:5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath and are guiltless?
再者, 律法上所记的, 当安息日, 祭司在殿里犯了安息日还是没有罪, 你们没有念过吗?

12:6 But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here!
但我告诉你们, 在这里有一人比殿更大.

12:7 And if you had known what it means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
‘我喜爱怜恤, 不喜爱祭祀. ’你们若明白这话的意思, 就不将无罪的当作有罪的了.

12:8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
因为人子是安息日的主. ”

12:9 And going on from there he came into their synagogue.
耶稣离开那地方, 进了一个会堂.

12:10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?” in order that they could accuse him.
那里有一个人枯干了一只手. 有人问耶稣说: “安息日治病可以不可以? ”意思是要控告他.

12:11 But he said to them, “What man will there be among you who will have one sheep and if this one fell into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?
耶稣说: “你们中间谁有一只羊, 当安息日掉在坑里, 不把牠抓住, 拉上来呢?

12:12 Then to what degree is a man worth more than a sheep? So then, it is permitted to do good on the Sabbath.”
人比羊何等贵重呢! 所以, 在安息日做善事是可以的. ”

12:13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand,” and he stretched it out, and it was restored as healthy as the other one.
于是对那人说: “伸出手来! ”他把手一伸, 手就复了原, 和那只手一样.

12:14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted against him in order that they could destroy him.
法利赛人出去, 商议怎样可以除灭耶稣.

12:15 Now Jesus, when he learned of it, withdrew from there, and many followed him, and he healed them all.
耶稣知道了, 就离开那里, 有许多人跟着他. 他把其中有病的人都治好了;

12:16 And he warned them that they should not reveal his identity,
又嘱咐他们, 不要给他传名.

12:17 in order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,
这是要应验先知以赛亚的话, 说:

12:18 “Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
看哪! 我的仆人, 我所拣选,所亲爱,心里所喜悦的, 我要将我的灵赐给他; 他必将公理传给外邦.

12:19 He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
他不争竞, 不喧嚷; 街上也没有人听见他的声音.

12:20 A crushed reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not extinguish, until he brings justice to victory.
压伤的芦苇, 他不折断; 将残的灯火, 他不吹灭; 等他施行公理, 叫公理得胜.

12:21 And in his name the Gentiles will hope.
外邦人都要仰望他的名.

12:22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to him. And he healed him so that the man who was mute could speak and see.
当下, 有人将一个被鬼附着,又瞎又哑的人带到耶稣那里, 耶稣就医治他, 甚至那哑巴又能说话, 又能看见.

12:23 And all the crowds were amazed and began saying, “Perhaps this one is the Son of David!”
众人都惊奇, 说: “这不是大卫的子孙吗? ”

12:24 But the Pharisees, when they heard it, said, “This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!”
但法利赛人听见, 就说: “这个人赶鬼, 无非是靠着鬼王别西卜啊. ”

12:25 But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
耶稣知道他们的意念, 就对他们说: “凡一国自相纷争, 就成为荒场; 一城一家自相纷争, 必站立不住;

12:26 And if Satan expels Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
若撒但赶逐撒但, 就是自相纷争, 他的国怎能站得住呢?

12:27 And if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel them? For this reason they will be your judges!
我若靠着别西卜赶鬼, 你们的子弟赶鬼又靠着谁呢? 这样, 他们就要断定你们的是非.

12:28 But if I expel demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!
我若靠着神的灵赶鬼, 这就是神的国临到你们了.

12:29 Or how can someone enter into the house of a strong man and steal his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? And then he can thoroughly plunder his house.
人怎能进壮士家里, 抢夺他的家具呢? 除非先捆住那壮士, 才可以抢夺他的家财.

12:30 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
不与我相合的, 就是敌我的; 不同我收聚的, 就是分散的. ”

12:31 For this reason I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven!
所以我告诉你们: “人一切的罪和亵渎的话都可得赦免, 惟独亵渎圣灵, 总不得赦免.

12:32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him either in this age or in the coming one!
凡说话干犯人子的, 还可得赦免; 惟独说话干犯圣灵的, 今世来世总不得赦免. ”

12:33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit is good, or make the tree bad and its fruit is bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.
“你们或以为树好, 果子也好; 树坏, 果子也坏; 因为看果子就可以知道树.

12:34 Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things when you are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
毒蛇的种类! 你们既是恶人, 怎能说出好话来呢? 因为心里所充满的, 口里就说出来.

12:35 The good person from his good treasury brings out good things, and the evil person from his evil treasury brings out evil things.
善人从他心里所存的善就发出善来; 恶人从他心里所存的恶就发出恶来.

12:36 But I tell you that every worthless word that they speak, people will give an account for it on the day of judgment!
我又告诉你们, 凡人所说的闲话, 当审判的日子, 必要句句供出来;

12:37 For by your words you will be vindicated, and by your words you will be condemned.”
因为要凭你的话定你为义, 也要凭你的话定你有罪. ”

12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you!”
当时, 有几个文士和法利赛人对耶稣说: “夫子, 我们愿意你显个神蹟给我们看. ”

12:39 But he answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation desires a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah!
耶稣回答说: “一个邪恶淫乱的世代求看神蹟, 除了先知约拿的神蹟以外, 再没有神蹟给他们看.

12:40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
约拿三日三夜在大鱼肚腹中, 人子也要这样三日三夜在地里头.

12:41 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here!
当审判的时候, 尼尼微人要起来定这世代的罪, 因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了. 看哪, 在这里有一人比约拿更大!

12:42 The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here!
当审判的时候, 南方的女王要起来定这世代的罪, 因为她从地极而来, 要听所罗门的智慧话. 看哪, 在这里有一人比所罗门更大. ”

12:43 “Now whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it.
“污鬼离了人身, 就在无水之地过来过去, 寻求安歇之处, 却寻不著.

12:44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’ And when it arrives it finds the house unoccupied and swept and put in order.
于是说: ‘我要回到我所出来的屋里去. ’到了, 就看见里面空闲, 打扫干净, 修饰好了,

12:45 Then it goes and brings along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first. So it will be for this evil generation also!”
便去另带了七个比自己更恶的鬼来, 都进去住在那里. 那人末后的景况比先前更不好了. 这邪恶的世代也要如此. ”

12:46 And while he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and brothers were standing there outside, desiring to speak to him.
耶稣还对众人说话的时候, 不料他母亲和他弟兄站在外边, 要与他说话.

12:47 And someone told him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing there outside desiring to speak to you.”
有人告诉他说: “看哪, 你母亲和你弟兄站在外边, 要与你说话. ”

12:48 But he answered and said to the one who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
他却回答那人说: “谁是我的母亲? 谁是我的弟兄? ”

12:49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Behold my mother and my brothers!
就伸手指著门徒, 说: “看哪, 我的母亲, 我的弟兄.

12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
凡遵行我天父旨意的人, 就是我的弟兄姊妹和母亲了. ”

Matthew - Chapter 13

13:1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.
当那一天, 耶稣从房子里出来, 坐在海边.

13:2 And large crowds gathered close around him, so that he got into a boat to sit down, and all the crowd was standing on the shore.
有许多人到他那里聚集, 他只得上船坐下, 众人都站在岸上.

13:3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow,
他用比喻对他们讲许多道理, 说: “有一个撒种的出去撒种;

13:4 and while he was sowing, some seed fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
撒的时候, 有落在路旁的, 飞鸟来吃尽了;

13:5 And other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once because it did not have any depth of soil.
有落在土浅石头地上的, 土既不深, 发苗最快,

13:6 But when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have enough root, it withered.
日头出来一晒, 因为没有根, 就枯干了;

13:7 And other seed fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it.
有落在荆棘里的, 荆棘长起来, 把它挤住了;

13:8 But other seed fell on the good soil and produced grain, this one a hundred times as much and this one sixty and this one thirty.
又有落在好土里的, 就结实, 有一百倍的, 有六十倍的, 有三十倍的.

13:9 The one who has ears, let him hear!”
有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

13:10 And the disciples came up and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
门徒进前来, 问耶稣说: “对众人讲话, 为甚么用比喻呢? ”

13:11 And he answered and said to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to those people it has not been granted.
耶稣回答说: “因为天国的奥祕只叫你们知道, 不叫他们知道.

13:12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
凡有的, 还要加给他, 叫他有余; 凡没有的, 连他所有的, 也要夺去.

13:13 For this reason I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand,
所以我用比喻对他们讲, 是因他们看也看不见, 听也听不见, 也不明白.

13:14 and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, “You will listen carefully and will never understand, and you will look closely and will never perceive.
在他们身上, 正应了以赛亚的预言, 说: 你们听是要听见, 却不明白; 看是要看见, 却不晓得;

13:15 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”
因为这百姓油蒙了心, 耳朵发沉, 眼睛闭着, 恐怕眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 我就医治他们.

13:16 But your eyes are blessed because they see, and your ears because they hear.
“但你们的眼睛是有福的, 因为看见了; 你们的耳朵也是有福的, 因为听见了.

13:17 For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it!
我实在告诉你们, 从前有许多先知和义人要看你们所看的, 却没有看见, 要听你们所听的, 却没有听见. ”

13:18 “You, therefore, listen to the parable of the sower:
“所以, 你们当听这撒种的比喻.

13:19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown on the side of the path.
凡听见天国道理不明白的, 那恶者就来, 把所撒在他心里的夺了去; 这就是撒在路旁的了.

13:20 And what was sown on the rocky ground—this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
撒在石头地上的, 就是人听了道, 当下欢喜领受,

13:21 But he does not have a root in himself, but lasts only a little while, and when affliction or persecution happens because of the word, immediately he falls away.
只因心里没有根, 不过是暂时的, 及至为道遭了患难, 或是受了逼迫, 立刻就跌倒了.

13:22 And what was sown into the thorn plants—this is the one who hears the word, and the anxiety of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word and it becomes unproductive.
撒在荆棘里的, 就是人听了道, 后来有世上的思虑,钱财的迷惑把道挤住了, 不能结实.

13:23 But what was sown on the good soil—this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces, this one a hundred times as much, and this one sixty, and this one thirty.”
撒在好地上的, 就是人听道明白了, 后来结实, 有一百倍的, 有六十倍的, 有三十倍的. ”

13:24 He put before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
耶稣又设个比喻对他们说: “天国好像人撒好种在田里,

13:25 But while his people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat and went away.
及至人睡觉的时候, 有仇敌来, 将稗子撒在麦子里就走了.

13:26 So when the wheat sprouted and yielded grain, then the darnel appeared also.
到长苗吐穗的时候, 稗子也显出来.

13:27 So the slaves of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have darnel?’
田主的仆人来告诉他说: ‘主啊, 你不是撒好种在田里吗? 从哪里来的稗子呢? ’

13:28 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ So the slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’
主人说: ‘这是仇敌做的. ’仆人说: ‘你要我们去薅出来吗? ’

13:29 But he said, “No, lest when you gather the darnel you uproot the wheat together with it.
主人说: ‘不必, 恐怕薅稗子, 连麦子也拔出来.

13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the season of the harvest I will tell the reapers, “First gather the darnel and tie it into bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my storehouse.” ’ ”
容这两样一齐长, 等著收割. 当收割的时候, 我要对收割的人说, 先将稗子薅出来, 捆成捆, 留着烧; 惟有麦子要收在仓里. ’”

13:31 He put before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
他又设个比喻对他们说: “天国好像一粒芥菜种, 有人拿去种在田里.

13:32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is grown it is larger than the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
这原是百种里最小的, 等到长起来, 却比各样的菜都大, 且成了树, 天上的飞鸟来宿在它的枝上. ”

13:33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and put into three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”
他又对他们讲个比喻说: “天国好像面酵, 有妇人拿来, 藏在三斗面里, 直等全团都发起来. ”

13:34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables, and he was saying nothing to them without a parable,
这都是耶稣用比喻对众人说的话; 若不用比喻, 就不对他们说甚么.

13:35 in order that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, who said, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden since the creation.”
这是要应验先知的话, 说: 我要开口用比喻, 把创世以来所隐藏的事发明出来.

13:36 Then he left the crowds and came into the house, and his disciples came to him saying, “Explain the parable of the darnel in the field to us.”
当下, 耶稣离开众人, 进了房子. 他的门徒进前来, 说: “请把田间稗子的比喻讲给我们听. ”

13:37 So he answered and said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
他回答说: “那撒好种的就是人子;

13:38 and the field is the world. And the good seed—these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil one.
田地就是世界; 好种就是天国之子; 稗子就是那恶者之子;

13:39 And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
撒稗子的仇敌就是魔鬼; 收割的时候就是世界的末了; 收割的人就是天使.

13:40 Thus just as the darnel is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
将稗子薅出来用火焚烧, 世界的末了也要如此.

13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all the causes of sin and those who do lawless deeds,
人子要差遣使者, 把一切叫人跌倒的和作恶的, 从他国里挑出来,

13:42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
丢在火炉里; 在那里必要哀哭切齿了.

13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear!
那时, 义人在他们父的国里, 要发出光来, 像太阳一样. 有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, that a man found and concealed, and in his joy he goes and sells everything that he has and buys that field.
“天国好像宝贝藏在地里, 人遇见了就把它藏起来, 欢欢喜喜地去变卖一切所有的, 买这块地.

13:45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
天国又好像买卖人寻找好珠子,

13:46 And when he found one very valuable pearl, he went and sold everything that he possessed and purchased it.
遇见一颗重价的珠子, 就去变卖他一切所有的, 买了这颗珠子.

13:47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind,
天国又好像网撒在海里, 聚拢各样水族,

13:48 which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down and collected the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw out.
网既满了, 人就拉上岸来, 坐下, 拣好的收在器具里, 将不好的丢弃了.

13:49 Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous
世界的末了也要这样. 天使要出来, 从义人中把恶人分别出来,

13:50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
丢在火炉里; 在那里必要哀哭切齿了. ”

13:51 “Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.”
耶稣说: “这一切的话你们都明白了吗? ”他们说: “我们明白了. ”

13:52 And he said to them, “For this reason every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of the house who brings out of his storeroom new things and old things.”
他说: “凡文士受教作天国的门徒, 就像一个家主从他库里拿出新旧的东西来. ”

13:53 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables he went away from there.
耶稣说完了这些比喻, 就离开那里,

13:54 And he came to his hometown and began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were amazed and said, “From where did this man get this wisdom and these miracles?
来到自己的家乡, 在会堂里教训人, 甚至他们都希奇, 说: “这人从哪里有这等智慧和异能呢?

13:55 Is not this one the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
这不是木匠的儿子吗? 他母亲不是叫马利亚吗? 他弟兄们不是叫雅各,约西(有古卷: 约瑟),西门,犹大吗?

13:56 And are not all his sisters with us? From where then did this man get all these things?”
他妹妹们不是都在我们这里吗? 这人从哪里有这一切的事呢? ”

13:57 And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown and in his own household.”
他们就厌弃他(厌弃他: 原文是因他跌倒). 耶稣对他们说: “大凡先知, 除了本地本家之外, 没有不被人尊敬的. ”

13:58 And he did not perform many miracles in that place because of their unbelief.
耶稣因为他们不信, 就在那里不多行异能了.

Matthew - Chapter 14

14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
那时, 分封的王希律听见耶稣的名声,

14:2 and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and for this reason miraculous powers are at work in him.”
就对臣仆说: “这是施洗的约翰从死里复活, 所以这些异能从他里面发出来. ”

14:3 For Herod, after arresting John, bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,
起先, 希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故, 把约翰拿住, 锁在监里.

14:4 because John had been saying to him, “It is not permitted for you to have her.”
因为约翰曾对他说: “你娶这妇人是不合理的. ”

14:5 And although he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they looked upon him as a prophet.
希律就想要杀他, 只是怕百姓, 因为他们以约翰为先知.

14:6 But when Herod’s birthday celebration took place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst of them and pleased Herod.
到了希律的生日, 希罗底的女儿在众人面前跳舞, 使希律欢喜.

14:7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
希律就起誓, 应许随她所求的给她.

14:8 And coached by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter!”
女儿被母亲所使, 就说: “请把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里, 拿来给我. ”

14:9 And although the king was distressed, because of his oaths and his dinner guests he commanded the request to be granted.
王便忧愁, 但因他所起的誓, 又因同席的人, 就吩咐给她;

14:10 And he sent orders and had John beheaded in the prison,
于是打发人去, 在监里斩了约翰,

14:11 and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
把头放在盘子里, 拿来给了女子; 女子拿去给她母亲.

14:12 And his disciples came and took away the corpse and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
约翰的门徒来, 把尸首领去埋葬了, 就去告诉耶稣.

14:13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And when the crowds heard it, they followed him by land from the towns.
耶稣听见了, 就上船从那里独自退到野地里去. 众人听见, 就从各城里步行跟随他.

14:14 And as he got out, he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them and healed their sick.
耶稣出来, 见有许多的人, 就怜悯他们, 治好了他们的病人.

14:15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him saying, “The place is desolate and the hour is late. Release the crowds so that they can go away into the villages and purchase food for themselves.”
天将晚的时候, 门徒进前来, 说: “这是野地, 时候已经过了, 请叫众人散开, 他们好往村子里去, 自己买吃的. ”

14:16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
耶稣说: “不用他们去, 你们给他们吃吧! ”

14:17 And they said to him, “We do not have anything here except five loaves and two fish.”
门徒说: “我们这里只有五个饼, 两条鱼. ”

14:18 So he said, “Bring them here to me.”
耶稣说: “拿过来给我. ”

14:19 And he commanded the crowds to recline for a meal on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks. And after breaking them, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
于是吩咐众人坐在草地上, 就拿着这五个饼, 两条鱼, 望着天祝福, 擘开饼, 递给门徒, 门徒又递给众人.

14:20 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
他们都吃, 并且吃饱了; 把剩下的零碎收拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子.

14:21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
吃的人, 除了妇女孩子, 约有五千.

14:22 And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds.
耶稣随即催门徒上船, 先渡到那边去, 等他叫众人散开.

14:23 And after he sent away the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. So when evening came, he was there alone.
散了众人以后, 他就独自上山去祷告. 到了晚上, 只有他一人在那里.

14:24 But the boat was already many stadia distant from the land, being beaten by the waves, because the wind was against it.
那时船在海中, 因风不顺, 被浪摇撼.

14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
夜里四更天, 耶稣在海面上走, 往门徒那里去.

14:26 But the disciples, when they saw him walking on the sea, were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear.
门徒看见他在海面上走, 就惊慌了, 说: “是个鬼怪! ”便害怕, 喊叫起来.

14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!”
耶稣连忙对他们说: “你们放心, 是我, 不要怕! ”

14:28 And Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water!”
彼得说: “主, 如果是你, 请叫我从水面上走到你那里去. ”

14:29 So he said, “Come!” And getting out of the boat, Peter walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
耶稣说: “你来吧. ”彼得就从船上下去, 在水面上走, 要到耶稣那里去;

14:30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
只因见风甚大, 就害怕, 将要沉下去, 便喊著说: “主啊, 救我! ”

14:31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and caught him and said to him, “You of little faith! Why did you doubt?”
耶稣赶紧伸手拉住他, 说: “你这小信的人哪, 为甚么疑惑呢? ”

14:32 And when they got into the boat, the wind abated.
他们上了船, 风就住了.

14:33 So those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God!”
在船上的人都拜他, 说: “你真是神的儿子了. ”

14:34 And after they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
他们过了海, 来到革尼撒勒地方.

14:35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent word into that whole surrounding region, and they brought to him all those who were sick.
那里的人一认出是耶稣, 就打发人到周围地方去, 把所有的病人带到他那里,

14:36 And they were imploring him that they might only touch the edge of his cloak, and all those who touched it were cured.
只求耶稣准他们摸他的衣裳䍁子; 摸著的人就都好了.

Matthew - Chapter 15

15:1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
那时, 有法利赛人和文士从耶路撒冷来见耶稣, 说:

15:2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat a meal.”
“你的门徒为甚么犯古人的遗传呢? 因为吃饭的时候, 他们不洗手. ”

15:3 So he answered and said to them, “Why do you also break the commandment of God because of your tradition?
耶稣回答说: “你们为甚么因着你们的遗传犯神的诫命呢?

15:4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother must certainly die.’
神说: ‘当孝敬父母’; 又说: ‘咒骂父母的, 必治死他. ’

15:5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or his mother, “Whatever benefit you would have received from me is a gift to God,”
你们倒说: ‘无论何人对父母说: 我所当奉给你的已经作了供献,

15:6 need not honor his father,’ and you make void the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
他就可以不孝敬父母. ’这就是你们藉著遗传, 废了神的诫命.

15:7 Hypocrites! Isaiah correctly prophesied about you saying,
假冒为善的人哪, 以赛亚指著你们说的预言是不错的. 他说:

15:8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me,
这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我, 心却远离我;

15:9 and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
他们将人的吩咐当作道理教导人, 所以拜我也是枉然. ”

15:10 And summoning the crowd, he said to them, “Hear and understand:
耶稣就叫了众人来, 对他们说: “你们要听, 也要明白.

15:11 It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person.”
入口的不能污秽人, 出口的乃能污秽人. ”

15:12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
当时, 门徒进前来对他说: “法利赛人听见这话, 不服(原文是跌倒), 你知道吗? ”

15:13 And he answered and said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
耶稣回答说: “凡栽种的物, 若不是我天父栽种的, 必要拔出来.

15:14 Let them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
任凭他们吧! 他们是瞎眼领路的; 若是瞎子领瞎子, 两个人都要掉在坑里. ”

15:15 But Peter answered and said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
彼得对耶稣说: “请将这比喻讲给我们听. ”

15:16 But he said, “Are you also still without understanding?
耶稣说: “你们到如今还不明白吗?

15:17 Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated into the latrine?
岂不知凡入口的, 是运到肚子里, 又落在茅厕里吗?

15:18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person.
惟独出口的, 是从心里发出来的, 这才污秽人.

15:19 For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech.
因为从心里发出来的, 有恶念,凶杀,奸淫,苟合,偷盗,妄证,谤讟.

15:20 These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!”
这都是污秽人的; 至于不洗手吃饭, 那却不污秽人. ”

15:21 And departing from there, Jesus went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
耶稣离开那里, 退到泰尔,西顿的境内去.

15:22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came and cried out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
有一个迦南妇人, 从那地方出来, 喊著说: “主啊, 大卫的子孙, 可怜我! 我女儿被鬼附得甚苦. ”

15:23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up and asked him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us!”
耶稣却一言不答. 门徒进前来, 求他说: “这妇人在我们后头喊叫, 请打发她走吧. ”

15:24 But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
耶稣说: “我奉差遣不过是到以色列家迷失的羊那里去. ”

15:25 But she came and knelt down before him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
那妇人来拜他, 说: “主啊, 帮助我! ”

15:26 And he answered and said, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”
他回答说: “不好拿儿女的饼丢给狗吃. ”

15:27 So she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
妇人说: “主啊, 不错; 但是狗也吃牠主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣儿. ”

15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you want.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
耶稣说: “妇人, 你的信心是大的! 照你所要的, 给你成全了吧. ”从那时候, 她女儿就好了.

15:29 And departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee, and he went up on the mountain and was sitting there.
耶稣离开那地方, 来到靠近加利利的海边, 就上山坐下.

15:30 And large crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.
有许多人到他那里, 带着瘸子,瞎子,哑巴,有残疾的, 和好些别的病人, 都放在他脚前; 他就治好了他们.

15:31 So then the crowd was astonished when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.
甚至众人都希奇; 因为看见哑巴说话, 残疾的痊愈, 瘸子行走, 瞎子看见, 他们就归荣耀给以色列的神.

15:32 And Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry lest they give out on the way.”
耶稣叫门徒来, 说: “我怜悯这众人; 因为他们同我在这里已经三天, 也没有吃的了. 我不愿意叫他们饿著回去, 恐怕在路上困乏. ”

15:33 And the disciples said to him, “Where in this desolate place can we get so much bread that such a great crowd could be satisfied?”
门徒说: “我们在这野地, 哪里有这么多的饼叫这许多人吃饱呢? ”

15:34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” So they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
耶稣说: “你们有多少饼? ”他们说: “有七个, 还有几条小鱼. ”

15:35 And commanding the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground,
他就吩咐众人坐在地上,

15:36 he took the seven loaves and the fish and after he had given thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
拿着这七个饼和几条鱼, 祝谢了, 擘开, 递给门徒; 门徒又递给众人.

15:37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
众人都吃, 并且吃饱了, 收拾剩下的零碎, 装满了七个筐子.

15:38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
吃的人, 除了妇女孩子, 共有四千.

15:39 And after he sent away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
耶稣叫众人散去, 就上船, 来到马加丹的境界.

Matthew - Chapter 16

16:1 And when the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test him, they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
法利赛人和撒都该人来试探耶稣, 请他从天上显个神蹟给他们看.

16:2 So he answered and said to them, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be fair weather because the sky is red,’
耶稣回答说: “晚上天发红, 你们就说: ‘天必要晴. ’

16:3 and early in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy weather, because the sky is red and darkening.’ You know how to evaluate correctly the appearance of the sky, but you are not able to evaluate the signs of the times.
早晨天发红, 又发黑, 你们就说: ‘今日必有风雨. ’你们知道分辨天上的气色, 倒不能分辨这时候的神蹟.

16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Jonah!” And he left them and went away.
一个邪恶淫乱的世代求神蹟, 除了约拿的神蹟以外, 再没有神蹟给他看. ”耶稣就离开他们去了.

16:5 And when the disciples arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
门徒渡到那边去, 忘了带饼.

16:6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out for and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
耶稣对他们说: “你们要谨慎, 防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵. ”

16:7 So they were discussing this among themselves, saying, “It is because we did not take bread.”
门徒彼此议论说: “这是因为我们没有带饼吧. ”

16:8 But knowing this, Jesus said, “Why are you discussing among yourselves that you did not take bread, you of little faith?
耶稣看出来, 就说: “你们这小信的人, 为甚么因为没有饼彼此议论呢?

16:9 Do you not yet understand or do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
你们还不明白吗? 不记得那五个饼分给五千人,又收拾了多少篮子的零碎吗?

16:10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you took up?
也不记得那七个饼分给四千人,又收拾了多少筐子的零碎吗?

16:11 How do you not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
我对你们说: ‘要防备法利赛人和撒都该人的酵’, 这话不是指著饼说的, 你们怎么不明白呢? ”

16:12 Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
门徒这才晓得他说的不是叫他们防备饼的酵, 乃是防备法利赛人和撒都该人的教训.

16:13 Now when Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he began asking his disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
耶稣到了凯撒利亚•腓立比的境内, 就问门徒说: “人说我─(有古卷没有我字)─人子是谁? ”

16:14 And they said, Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
他们说: “有人说是施洗的约翰; 有人说是以利亚; 又有人说是耶利米或是先知里的一位. ”

16:15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
耶稣说: “你们说我是谁? ”

16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!”
西门•彼得回答说: “你是基督, 是永生神的儿子. ”

16:17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
耶稣对他说: “西门•巴•约拿, 你是有福的! 因为这不是属血肉的指示你的, 乃是我在天上的父指示的.

16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it!
我还告诉你, 你是彼得, 我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上; 阴间的权柄(权柄: 原文是门), 不能胜过他.

16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.”
我要把天国的钥匙给你, 凡你在地上所捆绑的, 在天上也要捆绑; 凡你在地上所释放的, 在天上也要释放. ”

16:20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.
当下, 耶稣嘱咐门徒, 不可对人说他是基督.

16:21 From that time on Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
从此, 耶稣才指示门徒, 他必须上耶路撒冷去, 受长老,祭司长,文士许多的苦, 并且被杀, 第三日复活.

16:22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, God forbid, Lord! This will never happen to you!”
彼得就拉着他, 劝他说: “主啊, 万不可如此! 这事必不临到你身上. ”

16:23 But he turned around and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a cause for stumbling to me, because you are not intent on the things of God, but the things of people!”
耶稣转过来, 对彼得说: “撒但, 退我后边去吧! 你是绊我脚的; 因为你不体贴神的意思, 只体贴人的意思. ”

16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
于是耶稣对门徒说: “若有人要跟从我, 就当舍己, 背起他的十字架来跟从我.

16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me will find it.
因为, 凡要救自己生命(生命: 或译灵魂; 下同)的, 必丧掉生命; 凡为我丧掉生命的, 必得着生命.

16:26 For what will a person be benefited if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what will a person give in exchange for his life?
人若赚得全世界, 赔上自己的生命, 有甚么益处呢? 人还能拿甚么换生命呢?

16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and at that time he will reward each one according to what he has done.
人子要在他父的荣耀里, 同著众使者降临; 那时候, 他要照各人的行为报应各人.

16:28 Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
我实在告诉你们, 站在这里的, 有人在没尝死味以前必看见人子降临在他的国里. ”

Matthew - Chapter 17

17:1 And after six days Jesus took along Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
过了六天, 耶稣带着彼得,雅各, 和雅各的兄弟约翰, 暗暗地上了高山,

17:2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became bright as the light.
就在他们面前变了形像, 脸面明亮如日头, 衣裳洁白如光.

17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.
忽然, 有摩西,以利亚向他们显现, 同耶稣说话.

17:4 So Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
彼得对耶稣说: “主啊, 我们在这里真好! 你若愿意, 我就在这里搭三座棚, 一座为你, 一座为摩西, 一座为以利亚. ”

17:5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
说话之间, 忽然有一朵光明的云彩遮盖他们, 且有声音从云彩里出来, 说: “这是我的爱子, 我所喜悦的. 你们要听他! ”

17:6 And when the disciples heard this, they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.
门徒听见, 就俯伏在地, 极其害怕.

17:7 And Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up and do not be afraid.”
耶稣进前来, 摸他们, 说: “起来, 不要害怕! ”

17:8 And when they lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him—Jesus alone.
他们举目不见一人, 只见耶稣在那里.

17:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
下山的时候, 耶稣吩咐他们说: “人子还没有从死里复活, 你们不要将所看见的告诉人. ”

17:10 And the disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
门徒问耶稣说: “文士为甚么说以利亚必须先来? ”

17:11 And he answered and said, “Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all things.
耶稣回答说: “以利亚固然先来, 并要复兴万事;

17:12 But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the same way also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
只是我告诉你们, 以利亚已经来了, 人却不认识他, 竟任意待他. 人子也将要这样受他们的害. ”

17:13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
门徒这才明白耶稣所说的是指著施洗的约翰.

17:14 And when they came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him
耶稣和门徒到了众人那里, 有一个人来见耶稣, 跪下,

17:15 and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
说: “主啊, 怜悯我的儿子! 他害癫痫的病很苦, 屡次跌在火里, 屡次跌在水里.

17:16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
我带他到你门徒那里, 他们却不能医治他. ”

17:17 And Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!”
耶稣说: “嗳! 这又不信又悖谬的世代啊, 我在你们这里要到几时呢? 我忍耐你们要到几时呢? 把他带到我这里来吧! ”

17:18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour.
耶稣斥责那鬼, 鬼就出来; 从此孩子就痊愈了.

17:19 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, Why were we not able to expel it?”
门徒暗暗地到耶稣跟前, 说: “我们为甚么不能赶出那鬼呢? ”

17:20 And he said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
耶稣说: “是因你们的信心小. 我实在告诉你们, 你们若有信心, 像一粒芥菜种, 就是对这座山说: ‘你从这边挪到那边’, 它也必挪去; 并且你们没有一件不能做的事了.

17:21
至于这一类的鬼, 若不祷告,禁食, 他就不出来(或译: 不能赶他出来). ”

17:22 Now as they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,
他们还住在加利利的时候, 耶稣对门徒说: “人子将要被交在人手里.

17:23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.” And they were extremely distressed.
他们要杀害他, 第三日他要复活. ”门徒就大大地忧愁.

17:24 Now when they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma tax came up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the double drachma tax?”
到了迦百农, 有收丁税的人来见彼得, 说: “你们的先生不纳丁税(丁税约有半块钱)吗? ”

17:25 He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes—from their own sons, or from foreigners?”
彼得说: “纳. ”他进了屋子, 耶稣先向他说: “西门, 你的意思如何? 世上的君王向谁征收关税,丁税? 是向自己的儿子呢? 是向外人呢? ”

17:26 And when he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.
彼得说: “是向外人. ”耶稣说: “既然如此, 儿子就可以免税了.

17:27 But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast a line with a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And when you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that and give it to them for me and you.”
但恐怕触犯(触犯: 原文是绊倒)他们, 你且往海边去钓鱼, 把先钓上来的鱼拿起来, 开了牠的口, 必得一块钱, 可以拿去给他们, 作你我的税银. ”

Matthew - Chapter 18

18:1 At that time the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
当时, 门徒进前来, 问耶稣说: “天国里谁是最大的? ”

18:2 And calling a child to himself, he had him stand in their midst
耶稣便叫一个小孩子来, 使他站在他们当中,

18:3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn around and become like young children, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven!
说: “我实在告诉你们, 你们若不回转, 变成小孩子的样式, 断不得进天国.

18:4 Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child, this person is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,
所以, 凡自己谦卑像这小孩子的, 他在天国里就是最大的.

18:5 and whoever welcomes one child such as this in my name welcomes me.
凡为我的名接待一个像这小孩子的, 就是接待我. ”

18:6 But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him that a large millstone be hung on his neck and he be drowned in the depths of the sea.
“凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的, 倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上, 沉在深海里.

18:7 Woe to the world because of causes for stumbling, for it is a necessity that causes for stumbling come; nevertheless, woe to the person through whom the cause for stumbling comes.
这世界有祸了, 因为将人绊倒; 绊倒人的事是免不了的, 但那绊倒人的有祸了!

18:8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you! It is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be thrown into the eternal fire!
倘若你一只手, 或是一只脚, 叫你跌倒, 就砍下来丢掉. 你缺一只手, 或是一只脚, 进入永生, 强如有两手两脚被丢在永火里.

18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it from you! It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be thrown into fiery hell!
倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒, 就把它剜出来丢掉. 你只有一只眼进入永生, 强如有两只眼被丢在地狱的火里. ”

18:10 “See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven constantly see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
“你们要小心, 不可轻看这小子里的一个; 我告诉你们, 他们的使者在天上, 常见我天父的面. (有古卷加:

18:11
人子来, 为要拯救失丧的人. )

18:12 What do you think? If a certain man has a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go and look for the one that wandered away?
一个人若有一百只羊, 一只走迷了路, 你们的意思如何? 他岂不撇下这九十九只, 往山里去找那只迷路的羊吗?

18:13 And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not wander away.
若是找著了, 我实在告诉你们, 他为这一只羊欢喜, 比为那没有迷路的九十九只欢喜还大呢!

18:14 In the same way it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
你们在天上的父也是这样, 不愿意这小子里失丧一个. ”

18:15 “Now if your brother sins against you, go correct him between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
“倘若你的弟兄得罪你, 你就去, 趁著只有他和你在一处的时候, 指出他的错来. 他若听你, 你便得了你的弟兄;

18:16 But if he does not listen, take with you in addition one or two others, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.
他若不听, 你就另外带一两个人同去, 要凭两三个人的口作见证, 句句都可定准.

18:17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses to listen to the church also, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
若是不听他们, 就告诉教会; 若是不听教会, 就看他像外邦人和税吏一样.

18:18 “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.
“我实在告诉你们, 凡你们在地上所捆绑的, 在天上也要捆绑; 凡你们在地上所释放的, 在天上也要释放.

18:19 Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father who is in heaven.
我又告诉你们, 若是你们中间有两个人在地上同心合意地求甚么事, 我在天上的父必为他们成全.

18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them.”
因为无论在哪里, 有两三个人奉我的名聚会, 那里就有我在他们中间. ”

18:21 Then Peter came up to him and said, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?”
那时, 彼得进前来, 对耶稣说: “主啊, 我弟兄得罪我, 我当饶恕他几次呢? 到七次可以吗? ”

18:22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven!
耶稣说: “我对你说, 不是到七次, 乃是到七十个七次.

18:23 “For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.
天国好像一个王要和他仆人算帐.

18:24 And when he began to settle them, someone was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents.
才算的时候, 有人带了一个欠一千万银子的来.

18:25 And because he did not have enough to repay it, the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.
因为他没有甚么偿还之物, 主人吩咐把他和他妻子儿女, 并一切所有的都卖了偿还.

18:26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground and began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’
那仆人就俯伏拜他, 说: ‘主啊, 宽容我, 将来我都要还清. ’

18:27 So the master of that slave, because he had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
那仆人的主人就动了慈心, 把他释放了, 并且免了他的债.

18:28 But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back everything that you owe!’
“那仆人出来, 遇见他的一个同伴欠他十两银子, 便揪著他, 掐住他的喉咙, 说: ‘你把所欠的还我! ’

18:29 Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground and began to implore him, saying, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’
他的同伴就俯伏央求他, 说: ‘宽容我吧, 将来我必还清. ’

18:30 But he did not want to, but rather he went and threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.
他不肯, 竟去把他下在监里, 等他还了所欠的债.

18:31 So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.
众同伴看见他所做的事就甚忧愁, 去把这事都告诉了主人.

18:32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!
于是主人叫了他来, 对他说: ‘你这恶奴才! 你央求我, 我就把你所欠的都免了,

18:33 Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?’
你不应当怜恤你的同伴, 像我怜恤你吗? ’

18:34 And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.
主人就大怒, 把他交给掌刑的, 等他还清了所欠的债.

18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!”
你们各人若不从心里饶恕你的弟兄, 我天父也要这样待你们了. ”

Matthew - Chapter 19

19:1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these statements, he went away from Galilee and came into the region of Judea on the other side of the Jordan.
耶稣说完了这些话, 就离开加利利, 来到犹太的境界约旦河外.

19:2 And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
有许多人跟着他, 他就在那里把他们的病人治好了.

19:3 And Pharisees came up to him in order to test him, and asked if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife for any cause.
有法利赛人来试探耶稣, 说: “人无论甚么缘故都可以休妻吗? ”

19:4 And he answered and said, “Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female
耶稣回答说: “那起初造人的, 是造男造女,

19:5 and said, ‘On account of this a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
并且说: ‘因此, 人要离开父母, 与妻子连合, 二人成为一体. ’这经你们没有念过吗?

19:6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
既然如此, 夫妻不再是两个人, 乃是一体的了. 所以, 神配合的, 人不可分开. ”

19:7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a document—a certificate of divorce—and to divorce her?”
法利赛人说: “这样, 摩西为甚么吩咐给妻子休书, 就可以休她呢? ”

19:8 He said to them, “Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this.
耶稣说: “摩西因为你们的心硬, 所以许你们休妻, 但起初并不是这样.

19:9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the basis of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
我告诉你们, 凡休妻另娶的, 若不是为淫乱的缘故, 就是犯奸淫了; 有人娶那被休的妇人, 也是犯奸淫了. ”

19:10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!”
门徒对耶稣说: “人和妻子既是这样, 倒不如不娶. ”

19:11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this saying but those to whom it has been given.
耶稣说: “这话不是人都能领受的, 惟独赐给谁, 谁才能领受.

19:12 For there are eunuchs who were born as such from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
因为有生来是阉人, 也有被人阉的, 并有为天国的缘故自阉的. 这话谁能领受就可以领受. ”

19:13 Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
那时, 有人带着小孩子来见耶稣, 要耶稣给他们按手祷告, 门徒就责备那些人.

19:14 But Jesus said, “Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
耶稣说: “让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们; 因为在天国的, 正是这样的人. ”

19:15 And he laid his hands on them and traveled on from there.
耶稣给他们按手, 就离开那地方去了.

19:16 And behold, someone came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will have eternal life?”
有一个人来见耶稣, 说: “夫子(有古卷: 良善的夫子), 我该做甚么善事才能得永生? ”

19:17 And he said to him, “Why are you asking me about what is good? There is one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!”
耶稣对他说: “你为甚么以善事问我呢? 只有一位是善的(有古卷: 你为甚么称我是良善的? 除了神以外, 没有一个良善的). 你若要进入永生, 就当遵守诫命. ”

19:18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
他说: “甚么诫命? ”耶稣说: “就是不可杀人; 不可奸淫; 不可偷盗; 不可作假见证;

19:19 honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
当孝敬父母; 又当爱人如己. ”

19:20 The young man said to him, “All these I have observed. What do I still lack?”
那少年人说: “这一切我都遵守了, 还缺少甚么呢? ”

19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
耶稣说: “你若愿意作完全人, 可去变卖你所有的, 分给穷人, 就必有财宝在天上; 你还要来跟从我. ”

19:22 But when the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.
那少年人听见这话, 就忧忧愁愁地走了, 因为他的产业很多.

19:23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into the kingdom of heaven!
耶稣对门徒说: “我实在告诉你们, 财主进天国是难的.

19:24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich person into the kingdom of God.”
我又告诉你们, 骆驼穿过针的眼, 比财主进神的国还容易呢! ”

19:25 So when the disciples heard this, they were extremely amazed, saying, “Then who can be saved?”
门徒听见这话, 就希奇得很, 说: “这样谁能得救呢? ”

19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
耶稣看着他们, 说: “在人这是不能的, 在神凡事都能. ”

19:27 Then Peter answered and said to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?”
彼得就对他说: “看哪, 我们已经撇下所有的跟从你, 将来我们要得甚么呢? ”

19:28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the renewal of the world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me—you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 你们这跟从我的人, 到复兴的时候, 人子坐在他荣耀的宝座上, 你们也要坐在十二个宝座上, 审判以色列十二个支派.

19:29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.
凡为我的名撇下房屋, 或是弟兄,姊妹,父亲,母亲,(有古卷加: 妻子,)儿女,田地的, 必要得着百倍, 并且承受永生.

19:30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
然而, 有许多在前的, 将要在后; 在后的, 将要在前. ”

Matthew - Chapter 20

20:1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man—the master of the house—who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
“因为天国好像家主清早去雇人进他的葡萄园做工,

20:2 And after coming to an agreement with the workers for a denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard.
和工人讲定一天一钱银子, 就打发他们进葡萄园去.

20:3 And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
约在巳初出去, 看见市上还有闲站的人,

20:4 And to those people he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and I will give you whatever is right.’
就对他们说: ‘你们也进葡萄园去, 所当给的, 我必给你们. ’他们也进去了.

20:5 So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same thing.
约在午正和申初又出去, 也是这样行.

20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing there and said to them, ‘Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?’
约在酉初出去, 看见还有人站在那里, 就问他们说: ‘你们为甚么整天在这里闲站呢? ’

20:7 They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go also into the vineyard.’
他们说: ‘因为没有人雇我们. ’他说: ‘你们也进葡萄园去. ’

20:8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last up to the first.’
到了晚上, 园主对管事的说: ‘叫工人都来, 给他们工钱, 从后来的起, 到先来的为止. ’

20:9 And when the ones hired about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.
约在酉初雇的人来了, 各人得了一钱银子.

20:10 And when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, and they also received a denarius apiece.
及至那先雇的来了, 他们以为必要多得; 谁知也是各得一钱.

20:11 And when they received it, they began to complain against the master of the house,
他们得了, 就埋怨家主说:

20:12 saying, ‘These last people worked one hour and you made them equal to us who have endured the burden of the day and the burning heat!’
‘我们整天劳苦受热, 那后来的只做了一小时, 你竟叫他们和我们一样吗? ’

20:13 But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am not doing you wrong. Did you not come to an agreement with me for a denarius?
家主回答其中的一人说: ‘朋友, 我不亏负你, 你与我讲定的不是一钱银子吗?

20:14 Take what is yours and go! But I want to give to this last person the same as I gave to you also.
拿你的走吧! 我给那后来的和给你一样, 这是我愿意的.

20:15 Is it not permitted for me to do whatever I want with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’
我的东西难道不可随我的意思用吗? 因为我作好人, 你就红了眼吗? ’

20:16 Thus the last will be first and the first last.”
这样, 那在后的, 将要在前; 在前的, 将要在后了. (有古卷加: 因为被召的人多, 选上的人少. )”

20:17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples by themselves and said to them on the way,
耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候, 在路上把十二个门徒带到一边, 对他们说:

20:18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,
“看哪, 我们上耶路撒冷去, 人子要被交给祭司长和文士. 他们要定他死罪,

20:19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock him and flog him and crucify him, and on the third day he will be raised.”
又交给外邦人, 将他戏弄, 鞭打, 钉在十字架上; 第三日他要复活. ”

20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling down she asked something from him.
那时, 西庇太儿子的母亲同她两个儿子上前来拜耶稣, 求他一件事.

20:21 And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom.”
耶稣说: “你要甚么呢? ”她说: “愿你叫我这两个儿子在你国里, 一个坐在你右边, 一个坐在你左边. ”

20:22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”
耶稣回答说: “你们不知道所求的是甚么; 我将要喝的杯, 你们能喝吗? ”他们说: “我们能. ”

20:23 He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
耶稣说: “我所喝的杯, 你们必要喝; 只是坐在我的左右, 不是我可以赐的, 乃是我父为谁预备的, 就赐给谁. ”

20:24 And when the ten heard this, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.
那十个门徒听见, 就恼怒他们弟兄二人.

20:25 But Jesus called them to himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions exercise authority over them.
耶稣叫了他们来, 说: “你们知道外邦人有君王为主治理他们, 有大臣操权管束他们.

20:26 It will not be like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
只是在你们中间, 不可这样; 你们中间谁愿为大, 就必作你们的用人;

20:27 and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be your slave—
谁愿为首, 就必作你们的仆人.

20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
正如人子来, 不是要受人的服事, 乃是要服事人, 并且要舍命, 作多人的赎价. ”

20:29 And as they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.
他们出耶利哥的时候, 有极多的人跟随他.

20:30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
有两个瞎子坐在路旁, 听说是耶稣经过, 就喊著说: “主啊, 大卫的子孙, 可怜我们吧! ”

20:31 And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be quiet. But they called out all the more, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
众人责备他们, 不许他们作声; 他们却越发喊著说: “主啊, 大卫的子孙, 可怜我们吧! ”

20:32 And Jesus stopped, called them, and said, “What do you want me to do for you?”
耶稣就站住, 叫他们来, 说: “要我为你们做甚么? ”

20:33 They said to him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened!”
他们说: “主啊, 要我们的眼睛能看见! ”

20:34 And having compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight and followed him.
耶稣就动了慈心, 把他们的眼睛一摸, 他们立刻看见, 就跟从了耶稣.

Matthew - Chapter 21

21:1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷, 到了伯法其, 在橄榄山那里.

21:2 saying to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
耶稣就打发两个门徒, 对他们说: “你们往对面村子里去, 必看见一匹驴拴在那里, 还有驴驹同在一处; 你们解开, 牵到我这里来.

21:3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.”
若有人对你们说甚么, 你们就说: ‘主要用牠. ’那人必立时让你们牵来.

21:4 Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,
这事成就是要应验先知的话, 说:

21:5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a pack animal.’ ”
要对锡安的居民(原文是女子)说: 看哪, 你的王来到你这里, 是温柔的, 又骑着驴, 就是骑着驴驹子. ”

21:6 So the disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them,
门徒就照耶稣所吩咐的去行,

21:7 and brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
牵了驴和驴驹来, 把自己的衣服搭在上面, 耶稣就骑上.

21:8 And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
众人多半把衣服铺在路上; 还有人砍下树枝来铺在路上.

21:9 And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
前行后随的众人喊著说: 和散那(原有求救的意思, 在此是称颂的话)归于大卫的子孙! 奉主名来的是应当称颂的! 高高在上和散那!

21:10 And when he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
耶稣既进了耶路撒冷, 合城都惊动了, 说: “这是谁? ”

21:11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!”
众人说: “这是加利利拿撒勒的先知耶稣. ”

21:12 And Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.
耶稣进了神的殿, 赶出殿里一切做买卖的人, 推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子, 和卖鸽子之人的凳子,

21:13 And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
对他们说: “经上记着说: 我的殿必称为祷告的殿, 你们倒使它成为贼窝了. ”

21:14 And the blind and the lame came up to him in the temple courts and he healed them.
在殿里有瞎子,瘸子到耶稣跟前, 他就治好了他们.

21:15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children shouting in the temple courts and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant.
祭司长和文士看见耶稣所行的奇事, 又见小孩子在殿里喊著说: “和散那归于大卫的子孙! ”就甚恼怒,

21:16 And they said to him, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” So Jesus said to them, “Yes, have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise’?”
对他说: “这些人所说的, 你听见了吗? ”耶稣说: “是的. 经上说‘你从婴孩和吃奶的口中完全了赞美’的话, 你们没有念过吗? ”

21:17 And leaving them, he went outside of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
于是离开他们, 出城到伯大尼去, 在那里住宿.

21:18 Now early in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.
早晨回城的时候, 他饿了,

21:19 And seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And he said to it, “May there be no more fruit from you forever, and the fig tree withered at once.
看见路旁有一棵无花果树, 就走到跟前, 在树上找不着甚么, 不过有叶子, 就对树说: “从今以后, 你永不结果子. ”那无花果树就立刻枯干了.

21:20 And when they saw it, the disciples were astonished, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?”
门徒看见了, 便希奇说: “无花果树怎么立刻枯干了呢? ”

21:21 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will do not only what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,” it will happen!
耶稣回答说: “我实在告诉你们, 你们若有信心, 不疑惑, 不但能行无花果树上所行的事, 就是对这座山说: ‘你挪开此地, 投在海里! ’也必成就.

21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, if you believe, you will receive.”
你们祷告, 无论求甚么, 只要信, 就必得着. ”

21:23 And after he arrived at the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him while he was teaching, saying, “By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?”
耶稣进了殿, 正教训人的时候, 祭司长和民间的长老来问他说: “你仗着甚么权柄做这些事? 给你这权柄的是谁呢? ”

21:24 And Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell the answer to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
耶稣回答说: “我也要问你们一句话, 你们若告诉我, 我就告诉你们我仗着甚么权柄做这些事.

21:25 From where was the baptism of John—from heaven or from men?” And they began to discuss this among themselves, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
约翰的洗礼是从哪里来的? 是从天上来的? 是从人间来的呢? ”他们彼此商议说: “我们若说‘从天上来’, 他必对我们说: ‘这样, 你们为甚么不信他呢? ’

21:26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet.”
若说‘从人间来’, 我们又怕百姓, 因为他们都以约翰为先知. ”

21:27 And they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
于是回答耶稣说: “我们不知道. ”耶稣说: “我也不告诉你们我仗着甚么权柄做这些事. ”

21:28 “Now what do you think? A man had two sons. He approached the first and said, ‘Son, go work in the vineyard today.’
又说: “一个人有两个儿子. 他来对大儿子说: ‘我儿, 你今天到葡萄园里去做工. ’

21:29 And he answered and said, ‘I do not want to!’ But later he changed his mind and went.
他回答说: ‘我不去’, 以后自己懊悔, 就去了.

21:30 And he approached the second and said the same thing. So he answered and said, ‘I will, sir,’ and he did not go.
又来对小儿子也是这样说. 他回答说: ‘父啊, 我去’, 他却不去.

21:31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going ahead of you into the kingdom of God!
你们想, 这两个儿子是哪一个遵行父命呢? ”他们说: “大儿子. ”耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 税吏和娼妓倒比你们先进神的国.

21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him. And when you saw it, you did not even change your minds later so as to believe in him.
因为约翰遵著义路到你们这里来, 你们却不信他; 税吏和娼妓倒信他. 你们看见了, 后来还是不懊悔去信他. ”

21:33 “Listen to another parable: There was a man—a master of a house—who planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
“你们再听一个比喻: 有个家主栽了一个葡萄园, 周围圈上篱笆, 里面挖了一个压酒池, 盖了一座楼, 租给园户, 就往外国去了.

21:34 And when the season of fruit drew near, he sent his slaves to the tenant farmers to collect his fruit.
收果子的时候近了, 就打发仆人到园户那里去收果子.

21:35 And the tenant farmers seized his slaves, one of whom they beat, and one of whom they killed, and one of whom they stoned.
园户拿住仆人, 打了一个, 杀了一个, 用石头打死一个.

21:36 Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first ones, and they did the same thing to them.
主人又打发别的仆人去, 比先前更多; 园户还是照样待他们.

21:37 So finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
后来打发他的儿子到他们那里去, 意思说: ‘他们必尊敬我的儿子. ’

21:38 But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!’
不料, 园户看见他儿子, 就彼此说: ‘这是承受产业的. 来吧, 我们杀他, 占他的产业! ’

21:39 And they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
他们就拿住他, 推出葡萄园外, 杀了.

21:40 Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?”
园主来的时候要怎样处治这些园户呢? ”

21:41 They said to him, “He will destroy those evil men completely and lease the vineyard to other tenant farmers who will give him the fruits in their season.”
他们说: “要下毒手除灭那些恶人, 将葡萄园另租给那按著时候交果子的园户. ”

21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone. This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
耶稣说: “经上写着: 匠人所弃的石头已作了房角的头块石头. 这是主所做的, 在我们眼中看为希奇. 这经你们没有念过吗?

21:43 For this reason, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people who produce its fruits.
所以我告诉你们, 神的国必从你们夺去, 赐给那能结果子的百姓.

21:44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!”
谁掉在这石头上, 必要跌碎; 这石头掉在谁的身上, 就要把谁砸得稀烂. ”

21:45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them,
祭司长和法利赛人听见他的比喻, 就看出他是指著他们说的.

21:46 and although they wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they looked upon him as a prophet.
他们想要捉拿他, 只是怕众人, 因为众人以他为先知.

Matthew - Chapter 22

22:1 And continuing, Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,
耶稣又用比喻对他们说:

22:2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who gave a wedding celebration for his son.
“天国好比一个王为他儿子摆设娶亲的筵席,

22:3 And he sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the wedding celebration, and they did not want to come.
就打发仆人去, 请那些被召的人来赴席, 他们却不肯来.

22:4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding celebration!” ’
王又打发别的仆人, 说: ‘你们告诉那被召的人, 我的筵席已经预备好了, 牛和肥畜已经宰了, 各样都齐备, 请你们来赴席. ’

22:5 But they paid no attention and went away—this one to his own field, that one to his business.
那些人不理就走了; 一个到自己田里去; 一个做买卖去;

22:6 And the others, seizing his slaves, mistreated them and killed them.
其余的拿住仆人, 凌辱他们, 把他们杀了.

22:7 And the king was angry and sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
王就大怒, 发兵除灭那些凶手, 烧毁他们的城.

22:8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding celebration is ready, but those who had been invited were not worthy.
于是对仆人说: ‘喜筵已经齐备, 只是所召的人不配.

22:9 Therefore, go out to the places where the roads exit the city and invite to the wedding celebration as many people as you find.’
所以你们要往岔路口上去, 凡遇见的, 都召来赴席. ’

22:10 And those slaves went out into the roads and gathered everyone whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding celebration was filled with dinner guests.
那些仆人就出去, 到大路上, 凡遇见的, 不论善恶都召聚了来, 筵席上就坐满了客.

22:11 But when the king came in to see the dinner guests, he saw a man there not dressed in wedding clothes.
王进来观看宾客, 见那里有一个没有穿礼服的,

22:12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?’ But he could say nothing.
就对他说: ‘朋友, 你到这里来怎么不穿礼服呢? ’那人无言可答.

22:13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot and throw him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’
于是王对使唤的人说: ‘捆起他的手脚来, 把他丢在外边的黑暗里; 在那里必要哀哭切齿了. ’

22:14 For many are called but few are chosen.”
因为被召的人多, 选上的人少. ”

22:15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted so that they could entrap him with a statement.
当时, 法利赛人出去商议, 怎样就著耶稣的话陷害他,

22:16 And they sent their disciples to him with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and you do not care what anyone thinks, because you do not regard the opinion of people.
就打发他们的门徒同希律党的人去见耶稣, 说: “夫子, 我们知道你是诚实人, 并且诚诚实实传神的道, 甚么人你都不徇情面, 因为你不看人的外貌.

22:17 Therefore tell us what you think. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
请告诉我们, 你的意见如何? 纳税给凯撒可以不可以? ”

22:18 But because he knew their maliciousness, Jesus said, “Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?
耶稣看出他们的恶意, 就说: “假冒为善的人哪, 为甚么试探我?

22:19 Show me the coin for the tax!” So they brought him a denarius.
拿一个上税的钱给我看! ”他们就拿一个银钱来给他.

22:20 And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
耶稣说: “这像和这号是谁的? ”

22:21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!”
他们说: “是凯撒的. ”耶稣说: “这样, 凯撒的物当归给凯撒; 神的物当归给神. ”

22:22 And when they heard this, they were astonished, and they left him and went away.
他们听见就希奇, 离开他走了.

22:23 On that day Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and asked him,
撒都该人常说没有复活的事. 那天, 他们来问耶稣说:

22:24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said if someone dies without having children, his brother is to marry his wife and father descendants for his brother.
“夫子, 摩西说: ‘人若死了, 没有孩子, 他兄弟当娶他的妻, 为哥哥生子立后. ’

22:25 Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first died after getting married, and because he did not have descendants, he left his wife to his brother.
从前, 在我们这里有弟兄七人, 第一个娶了妻, 死了, 没有孩子, 撇下妻子给兄弟.

22:26 So also the second and the third, up to the seventh.
第二,第三,直到第七个, 都是如此.

22:27 And last of all the woman died.
末后, 妇人也死了.

22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her as wife.”
这样, 当复活的时候, 她是七个人中哪一个的妻子呢? 因为他们都娶过她. ”

22:29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God!
耶稣回答说: “你们错了; 因为不明白圣经, 也不晓得神的大能.

22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
当复活的时候, 人也不娶也不嫁, 乃像天上的使者一样.

22:31 Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said,
论到死人复活, 神在经上向你们所说的, 你们没有念过吗?

22:32 “I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob”? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living!”
他说: ‘我是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神. ’神不是死人的神, 乃是活人的神. ”

22:33 And when the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
众人听见这话, 就希奇他的教训.

22:34 Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same place.
法利赛人听见耶稣堵住了撒都该人的口, 他们就聚集.

22:35 And one of them, a legal expert, put a question to him to test him:
内中有一个人是律法师, 要试探耶稣, 就问他说:

22:36 “Teacher, which commandment is greatest in the law?”
“夫子, 律法上的诫命, 哪一条是最大的呢? ”

22:37 And he said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
耶稣对他说: “你要尽心,尽性,尽意爱主─你的神.

22:38 This is the greatest and first commandment.
这是诫命中的第一, 且是最大的.

22:39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
其次也相倣, 就是要爱人如己.

22:40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
这两条诫命是律法和先知一切道理的总纲. ”

22:41 Now while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
法利赛人聚集的时候, 耶稣问他们说:

22:42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.”
“论到基督, 你们的意见如何? 他是谁的子孙呢? ”他们回答说: “是大卫的子孙. ”

22:43 He said to them, “How then does David, by the Spirit, call him ‘Lord,’ saying,
耶稣说: “这样, 大卫被圣灵感动, 怎么还称他为主, 说:

22:44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet” ’?
主对我主说: 你坐在我的右边, 等我把你仇敌放在你的脚下.

22:45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?”
大卫既称他为主, 他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢? ”

22:46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask him any more questions.
他们没有一个人能回答一言. 从那日以后, 也没有人敢再问他甚么.

Matthew - Chapter 23

23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
那时, 耶稣对众人和门徒讲论,

23:2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses.
说: “文士和法利赛人坐在摩西的位上,

23:3 Therefore do and observe everything that they tell you, but do not do as they do, for they tell others to do something and do not do it themselves.
凡他们所吩咐你们的, 你们都要谨守遵行. 但不要效法他们的行为; 因为他们能说, 不能行.

23:4 And they tie up heavy burdens and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing with their finger to move them.
他们把难担的重担捆起来, 搁在人的肩上, 但自己一个指头也不肯动.

23:5 And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries broad and make their tassels long.
他们一切所做的事都是要叫人看见, 所以将佩戴的经文做宽了, 衣裳的䍁子做长了,

23:6 And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues
喜爱筵席上的首座, 会堂里的高位,

23:7 and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
又喜爱人在街市上问他安, 称呼他拉比(拉比就是夫子).

23:8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ because one is your teacher, and you are all brothers,
但你们不要受拉比的称呼, 因为只有一位是你们的夫子; 你们都是弟兄.

23:9 And do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your heavenly Father.
也不要称呼地上的人为父, 因为只有一位是你们的父, 就是在天上的父.

23:10 And do not be called teachers, because one is your teacher, the Christ.
也不要受师尊的称呼, 因为只有一位是你们的师尊, 就是基督.

23:11 And the greatest among you will be your servant.
你们中间谁为大, 谁就要作你们的用人.

23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
凡自高的, 必降为卑; 自卑的, 必升为高.

23:13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you shut the kingdom of heaven before people! For you do not enter, nor permit those wanting to go in to enter.
“你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们正当人前, 把天国的门关了, 自己不进去, 正要进去的人, 你们也不容他们进去. (有古卷加:

23:14
你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们侵吞寡妇的家产, 假意做很长的祷告, 所以要受更重的刑罚. )

23:15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you travel around the sea and the dry land to make one convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are!
“你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们走遍洋海陆地, 勾引一个人入教, 既入了教, 却使他作地狱之子, 比你们还加倍.

23:16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by his oath.’
“你们这瞎眼领路的有祸了! 你们说: ‘凡指著殿起誓的, 这算不得甚么; 只是凡指著殿中金子起誓的, 他就该谨守. ’

23:17 Fools and blind people! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold holy?
你们这无知瞎眼的人哪, 甚么是大的? 是金子呢? 还是叫金子成圣的殿呢?

23:18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing! But whoever swears by the gift that is on it is bound by his oath.’
你们又说: ‘凡指著坛起誓的, 这算不得甚么; 只是凡指著坛上礼物起誓的, 他就该谨守. ’

23:19 Blind people! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift holy?
你们这瞎眼的人哪, 甚么是大的? 是礼物呢? 还是叫礼物成圣的坛呢?

23:20 Therefore the one who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything that is on it.
所以, 人指著坛起誓, 就是指著坛和坛上一切所有的起誓;

23:21 And the one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
人指著殿起誓, 就是指著殿和那住在殿里的起誓;

23:22 And the one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the one who sits on it.
人指著天起誓, 就是指著神的宝座和那坐在上面的起誓.

23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you pay a tenth of mint and dill and cumin, and neglect the more important matters of the law—justice and mercy and faithfulness! It was necessary to do these things while not neglecting those.
“你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们将薄荷,茴香,芹菜, 献上十分之一, 那律法上更重的事, 就是公义,怜悯,信实, 反倒不行了. 这更重的是你们当行的; 那也是不可不行的.

23:24 Blind guides who filter out a gnat and swallow a camel!
你们这瞎眼领路的, 蠓虫你们就滤出来, 骆驼你们倒吞下去.

23:25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence!
“你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们洗净杯盘的外面, 里面却盛满了勒索和放荡.

23:26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
你这瞎眼的法利赛人, 先洗净杯盘的里面, 好叫外面也干净了.

23:27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean!
“你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们好像粉饰的坟墓, 外面好看, 里面却装满了死人的骨头和一切的污秽.

23:28 In the same way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
你们也是如此, 在人前, 外面显出公义来, 里面却装满了假善和不法的事.

23:29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous,
“你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们建造先知的坟, 修饰义人的墓, 说:

23:30 and you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets!’
‘若是我们在我们祖宗的时候, 必不和他们同流先知的血. ’

23:31 Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets!
这就是你们自己证明是杀害先知者的子孙了.

23:32 And you—fill up the measure of your fathers!
你们去充满你们祖宗的恶贯吧!

23:33 Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you escape from the condemnation to hell?
你们这些蛇类,毒蛇之种啊, 怎能逃脱地狱的刑罚呢?

23:34 For this reason, behold, I am sending to you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will pursue from town to town,
所以我差遣先知和智慧人并文士到你们这里来, 有的你们要杀害, 要钉十字架; 有的你们要在会堂里鞭打, 从这城追逼到那城,

23:35 so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
叫世上所流义人的血都归到你们身上, 从义人亚伯的血起, 直到你们在殿和坛中间所杀的巴拉加的儿子撒迦利亚的血为止.

23:36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation!
我实在告诉你们, 这一切的罪都要归到这世代了. ”

23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her young together under her wings, and you were not willing!
“耶路撒冷啊, 耶路撒冷啊, 你常杀害先知, 又用石头打死那奉差遣到你这里来的人. 我多次愿意聚集你的儿女, 好像母鸡把小鸡聚集在翅膀底下, 只是你们不愿意.

23:38 Behold, your house has been left to you desolate!
看哪, 你们的家成为荒场留给你们.

23:39 For I tell you, you will never see me from now on until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
我告诉你们, 从今以后, 你们不得再见我, 直等到你们说: ‘奉主名来的是应当称颂的. ’”

Matthew - Chapter 24

24:1 And as Jesus went out of the temple courts he was going along, and his disciples came up to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
耶稣出了圣殿, 正走的时候, 门徒进前来, 把殿宇指给他看.

24:2 But he answered and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left here on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
耶稣对他们说: “你们不是看见这殿宇吗? 我实在告诉你们, 将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上, 不被拆毁了. ”

24:3 And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
耶稣在橄榄山上坐着, 门徒暗暗地来说: “请告诉我们, 甚么时候有这些事? 你降临和世界的末了有甚么预兆呢? ”

24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you!
耶稣回答说: “你们要谨慎, 免得有人迷惑你们.

24:5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will deceive many.
因为将来有好些人冒我的名来, 说: ‘我是基督’, 并且要迷惑许多人.

24:6 And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.
你们也要听见打仗和打仗的风声, 总不要惊慌; 因为这些事是必须有的, 只是末期还没有到.

24:7 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
民要攻打民, 国要攻打国; 多处必有饥荒,地震.

24:8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

24:9 “Then they will hand you over to persecution and will kill you, and you will be hated by all the nations because of my name.
那时, 人要把你们陷在患难里, 也要杀害你们; 你们又要为我的名被万民恨恶.

24:10 And then many will be led into sin and will betray one another and will hate one another,
那时, 必有许多人跌倒, 也要彼此陷害, 彼此恨恶;

24:11 and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many,
且有好些假先知起来, 迷惑多人.

24:12 and because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.
只因不法的事增多, 许多人的爱心才渐渐冷淡了.

24:13 But the one who endures to the end—this person will be saved.
惟有忍耐到底的, 必然得救.

24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
这天国的福音要传遍天下, 对万民作见证, 然后末期才来到. ”

24:15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken about by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place” (let the one who reads understand),

那时, 在犹太的, 应当逃到山上;

24:17 The one who is on his housetop must not come down to take things out of his house,

24:20 But pray that your flight may not happen in winter or on a Sabbath.
你们应当祈求, 叫你们逃走的时候, 不遇见冬天或是安息日.

24:21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will happen.
因为那时必有大灾难, 从世界的起头直到如今, 没有这样的灾难, 后来也必没有.

24:22 And unless those days had been shortened, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
若不减少那日子, 凡有血气的总没有一个得救的; 只是为选民, 那日子必减少了.

24:23 “At that time if anyone should say to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘Here he is,’ do not believe him!
那时, 若有人对你们说: ‘基督在这里’, 或说: ‘基督在那里’, 你们不要信!

24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
因为假基督,假先知将要起来, 显大神蹟,大奇事, 倘若能行, 连选民也就迷惑了.

24:25 Behold, I have told you ahead of time!
看哪, 我预先告诉你们了.

24:26 Therefore if they say to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it!
若有人对你们说: ‘看哪, 基督在旷野里’, 你们不要出去! 或说: ‘看哪, 基督在内屋中’, 你们不要信!

闪电从东边发出, 直照到西边. 人子降临也要这样.

24:28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
尸首在哪里, 鹰也必聚在那里. ”

24:29 “And immediately after the tribulation of those days, ‘the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.’
“那些日子的灾难一过去, 日头就变黑了, 月亮也不放光, 众星要从天上坠落, 天势都要震动.

24:30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
那时, 人子的兆头要显在天上, 地上的万族都要哀哭. 他们要看见人子, 有能力, 有大荣耀, 驾着天上的云降临.

24:31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other end of it.
他要差遣使者, 用号筒的大声, 将他的选民, 从四方(方: 原文是风), 从天这边到天那边, 都招聚了来. ”

24:32 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
“你们可以从无花果树学个比方: 当树枝发嫩长叶的时候, 你们就知道夏天近了.

24:33 So also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the door.
这样, 你们看见这一切的事, 也该知道人子近了, 正在门口了.

24:34 Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all these things take place!
我实在告诉你们, 这世代还没有过去, 这些事都要成就.

24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
天地要废去, 我的话却不能废去. ”

24:36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows—not even the angels of heaven nor the Son—except the Father alone.
“但那日子, 那时辰, 没有人知道, 连天上的使者也不知道, 子也不知道, 惟独父知道.

24:37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.
挪亚的日子怎样, 人子降临也要怎样.

24:38 For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark.
当洪水以前的日子, 人照常吃喝嫁娶, 直到挪亚进方舟的那日;

24:39 And they did not know anything until the deluge came and swept them all away. So also the coming of the Son of Man will be.
不知不觉洪水来了, 把他们全都冲去. 人子降临也要这样.

24:40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one left.
那时, 两个人在田里, 取去一个, 撇下一个.

24:41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.

24:42 Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know what day your Lord is coming!
所以, 你们要警醒, 因为不知道你们的主是哪一天来到.

24:43 But understand this: that if the master of the house had known what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.
家主若知道几更天有贼来, 就必警醒, 不容人挖透房屋; 这是你们所知道的.

24:44 For this reason you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think he will come.
所以, 你们也要预备, 因为你们想不到的时候, 人子就来了. ”

24:45 “Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has put in charge of his household slaves to give them their food at the right time?
“谁是忠心有见识的仆人, 为主人所派, 管理家里的人, 按时分粮给他们呢?

24:46 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes back.
主人来到, 看见他这样行, 那仆人就有福了.

24:47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
我实在告诉你们, 主人要派他管理一切所有的.

24:48 But if that evil slave should say to himself, ‘My master is staying away for a long time,’
倘若那恶仆心里说: ‘我的主人必来得迟’,

24:49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with drunkards,
就动手打他的同伴, 又和酒醉的人一同吃喝.

24:50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know,
在想不到的日子, 不知道的时辰, 那仆人的主人要来,

24:51 and will cut him in two and assign his place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
重重地处治他(或译: 把他腰斩了), 定他和假冒为善的人同罪; 在那里必要哀哭切齿了. ”

Matthew - Chapter 25

25:1 “Then the kingdom of heaven may be compared to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
“那时, 天国好比十个童女拿着灯出去迎接新郎.

25:2 Now five of them were foolish and five were wise.
其中有五个是愚拙的, 五个是聪明的.

25:3 For when the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take olive oil with them.
愚拙的拿着灯, 却不预备油;

25:4 But the wise ones took olive oil in flasks with their lamps.
聪明的拿着灯, 又预备油在器皿里.

25:5 And when the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
新郎迟延的时候, 她们都打盹, 睡着了.

25:6 But in the middle of the night there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
半夜有人喊著说: ‘新郎来了, 你们出来迎接他! ’

25:7 Then all those virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
那些童女就都起来收拾灯.

25:8 And the foolish ones said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your olive oil, because our lamps are going out!’
愚拙的对聪明的说: ‘请分点油给我们, 因为我们的灯要灭了. ’

25:9 But the wise ones answered saying, “Certainly there will never be enough for us and for you! Go instead to those who sell olive oil and buy some for yourselves.’
聪明的回答说: ‘恐怕不够你我用的; 不如你们自己到卖油的那里去买吧. ’

25:10 But while they had gone away to buy it the bridegroom arrived, and those who were ready went inside with him to the wedding celebration, and the door was shut.
她们去买的时候, 新郎到了. 那预备好了的, 同他进去坐席, 门就关了.

25:11 And later the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open the door for us!’
其余的童女随后也来了, 说: ‘主啊, 主啊, 给我们开门! ’

25:12 But he answered and said, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you!’
他却回答说: ‘我实在告诉你们, 我不认识你们. ’

25:13 Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know the day or the hour!
所以, 你们要警醒; 因为那日子, 那时辰, 你们不知道. ”

25:14 For it is like a man going on a journey. He summoned his own slaves and handed over his property to them.
“天国又好比一个人要往外国去, 就叫了仆人来, 把他的家业交给他们,

25:15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each one according to his own ability, and he went on a journey immediately.
按著各人的才干给他们银子: 一个给了五千, 一个给了二千, 一个给了一千, 就往外国去了.

25:16 The one who had received the five talents went out and traded with them and gained five more.
那领五千的随即拿去做买卖, 另外赚了五千.

25:17 In the same way the one who had the two gained two more.
那领二千的也照样另赚了二千.

25:18 But the one who had received the one went away and dug up the ground and hid his master’s money.
但那领一千的去掘开地, 把主人的银子埋藏了.

25:19 Now after a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
过了许久, 那些仆人的主人来了, 和他们算帐.

25:20 And the one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents. See, I have gained five more talents!’
那领五千银子的又带着那另外的五千来, 说: ‘主啊, 你交给我五千银子. 请看, 我又赚了五千. ’

25:21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
主人说: ‘好, 你这又良善又忠心的仆人, 你在不多的事上有忠心, 我要把许多事派你管理; 可以进来享受你主人的快乐. ’

25:22 And the one who had the two talents also came up and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents. See, I have gained two talents more!’
那领二千的也来, 说: ‘主啊, 你交给我二千银子. 请看, 我又赚了二千. ’

25:23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
主人说: ‘好, 你这又良善又忠心的仆人, 你在不多的事上有忠心, 我要把许多事派你管理; 可以进来享受你主人的快乐. ’

25:24 And the one who had received the one talent came up also and said, ‘Master, because I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter seed.
那领一千的也来, 说: ‘主啊, 我知道你是忍心的人, 没有种的地方要收割, 没有散的地方要聚敛,

25:25 And because I was afraid, I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours!’
我就害怕, 去把你的一千银子埋藏在地里. 请看, 你的原银子在这里. ’

25:26 But his master answered and said to him, ‘Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter seed.
主人回答说: ‘你这又恶又懒的仆人, 你既知道我没有种的地方要收割, 没有散的地方要聚敛,

25:27 Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and when I returned I would have gotten back what was mine with interest!
就当把我的银子放给兑换银钱的人, 到我来的时候, 可以连本带利收回.

25:28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.
夺过他这一千来, 给那有一万的.

25:29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
因为凡有的, 还要加给他, 叫他有余; 没有的, 连他所有的也要夺过来.

25:30 And throw the worthless slave into the outer darkness—in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!’
把这无用的仆人丢在外面黑暗里; 在那里必要哀哭切齿了. ’”

25:31 Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
“当人子在他荣耀里,同著众天使降临的时候, 要坐在他荣耀的宝座上.

25:32 And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
万民都要聚集在他面前. 他要把他们分别出来, 好像牧羊的分别绵羊山羊一般,

25:33 And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left.
把绵羊安置在右边, 山羊在左边.

25:34 Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!
于是王要向那右边的说: ‘你们这蒙我父赐福的, 可来承受那创世以来为你们所预备的国;

25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me as a guest,
因为我饿了, 你们给我吃, 渴了, 你们给我喝; 我作客旅, 你们留我住;

25:36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you cared for me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
我赤身露体, 你们给我穿; 我病了, 你们看顾我; 我在监里, 你们来看我. ’

25:37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
义人就回答说: ‘主啊, 我们甚么时候见你饿了, 给你吃, 渴了, 给你喝?

25:38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you as a guest, or naked and clothe you?
甚么时候见你作客旅, 留你住, 或是赤身露体, 给你穿?

25:39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’
又甚么时候见你病了, 或是在监里, 来看你呢? ’

25:40 And the king will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.’
王要回答说: ‘我实在告诉你们, 这些事你们既做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上, 就是做在我身上了. ’

25:41 Then he will also say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
王又要向那左边的说: ‘你们这被咒诅的人, 离开我! 进入那为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的永火里去!

25:42 For I was hungry and you did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you did not give me anything to drink,
因为我饿了, 你们不给我吃, 渴了, 你们不给我喝;

25:43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me as a guest, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not care for me.’
我作客旅, 你们不留我住; 我赤身露体, 你们不给我穿; 我病了, 我在监里, 你们不来看顾我. ’

25:44 Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and not serve you?’
他们也要回答说: ‘主啊, 我们甚么时候见你饿了, 或渴了, 或作客旅, 或赤身露体, 或病了, 或在监里, 不伺候你呢? ’

25:45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’
王要回答说: ‘我实在告诉你们, 这些事你们既不做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上, 就是不做在我身上了. ’

25:46 And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
这些人要往永刑里去; 那些义人要往永生里去. ”

Matthew - Chapter 26

26:1 And it happened that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
耶稣说完了这一切的话, 就对门徒说:

26:2 “You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man will be handed over in order to be crucified.”
“你们知道, 过两天是逾越节, 人子将要被交给人, 钉在十字架上. ”

26:3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas,
那时, 祭司长和民间的长老聚集在大祭司称为该亚法的院里.

26:4 and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
大家商议要用诡计拿住耶稣, 杀他,

26:5 But they were saying, “Not during the feast, so that there will not be an uproar among the people.”
只是说: “当节的日子不可, 恐怕民间生乱. ”

26:6 Now while Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
耶稣在伯大尼长大痲疯的西门家里,

26:7 a woman came up to him holding an alabaster flask of very expensive perfumed oil, and poured it out on his head while he was reclining at table.
有一个女人拿着一玉瓶极贵的香膏来, 趁耶稣坐席的时候, 浇在他的头上.

26:8 And when the disciples saw it they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
门徒看见就很不喜悦, 说: “何用这样的枉费呢!

26:9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!”
这香膏可以卖许多钱, 赒济穷人. ”

26:10 But Jesus, knowing this, said to them, “Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.
耶稣看出他们的意思, 就说: “为甚么难为这女人呢? 她在我身上做的是一件美事.

26:11 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.
因为常有穷人和你们同在; 只是你们不常有我.

26:12 For when this woman poured this ointment on my body, she did it in order to prepare me for burial.
她将这香膏浇在我身上是为我安葬做的.

26:13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
我实在告诉你们, 普天之下, 无论在甚么地方传这福音, 也要述说这女人所行的, 作个纪念. ”

26:14 Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
当下, 十二门徒里有一个称为加略人犹大的, 去见祭司长, 说:

26:15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I in turn deliver him to you?” So they set out for him thirty silver coins.
“我把他交给你们, 你们愿意给我多少钱? ”他们就给了他三十块钱.

26:16 And from that time on, he began seeking a favorable opportunity in order that he could betray him.
从那时候, 他就找机会要把耶稣交给他们.

26:17 Now on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came up to Jesus, saying, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
除酵节的第一天, 门徒来问耶稣说: “你吃逾越节的筵席, 要我们在哪里给你预备? ”

26:18 And he said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am celebrating the Passover with you with my disciples.” ’
耶稣说: “你们进城去, 到某人那里, 对他说: ‘夫子说: 我的时候快到了, 我与门徒要在你家里守逾越节. ’”

26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
门徒遵著耶稣所吩咐的就去预备了逾越节的筵席.

26:20 And when it was evening, he was reclining at table with the twelve disciples.
到了晚上, 耶稣和十二个门徒坐席.

26:21 And while they were eating he said, “Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.”
正吃的时候, 耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 你们中间有一个人要卖我了. ”

26:22 And greatly distressed, each one began to say to him, “Surely I am not he, am I, Lord?”
他们就甚忧愁, 一个一个地问他说: “主, 是我吗? ”

26:23 And he answered and said, “The one who dips his hand in the bowl with me—this one will betray me.
耶稣回答说: “同我蘸手在盘子里的, 就是他要卖我.

26:24 The Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”
人子必要去世, 正如经上指著他所写的; 但卖人子的人有祸了! 那人不生在世上倒好. ”

26:25 And Judas, the one who was betraying him, answered and said, “Surely I am not he, am I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
卖耶稣的犹大问他说: “拉比, 是我吗? ”耶稣说: “你说的是. ”

26:26 Now while they were eating Jesus took bread and, after giving thanks, he broke it, and giving it to the disciples, he said, “Take, eat, this is my body.”
他们吃的时候, 耶稣拿起饼来, 祝福, 就擘开, 递给门徒, 说: “你们拿着吃, 这是我的身体”;

26:27 And after taking the cup and giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you,
又拿起杯来, 祝谢了, 递给他们, 说: “你们都喝这个;

26:28 for this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
因为这是我立约的血, 为多人流出来, 使罪得赦.

26:29 But I tell you, from now on I will never drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.”
但我告诉你们, 从今以后, 我不再喝这葡萄汁, 直到我在我父的国里同你们喝新的那日子. ”

26:30 And after they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
他们唱了诗, 就出来往橄榄山去.

26:31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me during this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
那时, 耶稣对他们说: “今夜, 你们为我的缘故都要跌倒. 因为经上记着说: 我要击打牧人, 羊就分散了.

26:32 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
但我复活以后, 要在你们以先往加利利去. ”

26:33 But Peter answered and said to him, “If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”
彼得说: “众人虽然为你的缘故跌倒, 我却永不跌倒. ”

26:34 Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times!”
耶稣说: “我实在告诉你, 今夜鸡叫以先, 你要三次不认我. ”

26:35 Peter said to him, “Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the disciples said the same thing.
彼得说: “我就是必须和你同死, 也总不能不认你. ”众门徒都是这样说.

26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
耶稣同门徒来到一个地方, 名叫客西马尼, 就对他们说: “你们坐在这里, 等我到那边去祷告. ”

26:37 And taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be distressed and troubled.
于是带着彼得和西庇太的两个儿子同去, 就忧愁起来, 极其难过,

26:38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”
便对他们说: “我心里甚是忧伤, 几乎要死; 你们在这里等候, 和我一同警醒. ”

26:39 And going forward a little he fell down on his face, praying and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
他就稍往前走, 俯伏在地, 祷告说: “我父啊, 倘若可行, 求你叫这杯离开我. 然而, 不要照我的意思, 只要照你的意思. ”

26:40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “So, were you not able to stay awake with me one hour?
来到门徒那里, 见他们睡着了, 就对彼得说: “怎么样? 你们不能同我警醒片时吗?

26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!”
总要警醒祷告, 免得入了迷惑. 你们心灵固然愿意, 肉体却软弱了. ”

26:42 Again for the second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done.”
第二次又去祷告说: “我父啊, 这杯若不能离开我, 必要我喝, 就愿你的意旨成全. ”

26:43 And he came again and found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open.
又来, 见他们睡着了, 因为他们的眼睛困倦.

26:44 And leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing again.
耶稣又离开他们去了. 第三次祷告, 说的话还是与先前一样.

26:45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
于是来到门徒那里, 对他们说: “现在你们仍然睡觉安歇吧(吧: 或译吗? )! 时候到了, 人子被卖在罪人手里了.

26:46 Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
起来! 我们走吧. 看哪, 卖我的人近了. ”

26:47 And while he was still speaking, behold, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
说话之间, 那十二个门徒里的犹大来了, 并有许多人带着刀棒, 从祭司长和民间的长老那里与他同来.

26:48 Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one. Arrest him!”
那卖耶稣的给了他们一个暗号, 说: “我与谁亲嘴, 谁就是他. 你们可以拿住他. ”

26:49 And he came up to Jesus immediately and said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him.
犹大随即到耶稣跟前, 说: “请拉比安”, 就与他亲嘴.

26:50 And Jesus said to him, “Friend, do that for which you have come.” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.
耶稣对他说: “朋友, 你来要做的事, 就做吧. ”于是那些人上前, 下手拿住耶稣.

26:51 And behold, one of those with Jesus extended his hand and drew his sword, and striking the slave of the high priest, cut off his ear.
有跟随耶稣的一个人伸手拔出刀来, 将大祭司的仆人砍了一刀, 削掉了他一个耳朵.

26:52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword.
耶稣对他说: “收刀入鞘吧! 凡动刀的, 必死在刀下.

26:53 Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels?
你想, 我不能求我父现在为我差遣十二营多天使来吗?

26:54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen in this way?”
若是这样, 经上所说, 事情必须如此的话怎么应验呢? ”

26:55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? Every day in the temple courts I sat teaching, and you did not arrest me!
当时, 耶稣对众人说: “你们带着刀棒出来拿我, 如同拿强盗吗? 我天天坐在殿里教训人, 你们并没有拿我.

26:56 But all this has happened in order that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all abandoned him and fled.
但这一切的事成就了, 为要应验先知书上的话. ”当下, 门徒都离开他逃走了.

26:57 Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.
拿耶稣的人把他带到大祭司该亚法那里去; 文士和长老已经在那里聚会.

26:58 But Peter was following him from a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And he went inside and was sitting with the officers to see the outcome.
彼得远远地跟着耶稣, 直到大祭司的院子, 进到里面, 就和差役同坐, 要看这事到底怎样.

26:59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.
祭司长和全公会寻找假见证控告耶稣, 要治死他.

26:60 And they did not find it, although many false witnesses came forward. And finally two came forward
虽有好些人来作假见证, 总得不著实据. 末后有两个人前来, 说:

26:61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it within three days.’ ”
“这个人曾说: ‘我能拆毁神的殿, 三日内又建造起来. ’”

26:62 And the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do you reply nothing? What are these people testifying against you?”
大祭司就站起来, 对耶稣说: “你甚么都不回答吗? 这些人作见证告你的是甚么呢? ”

26:63 But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, “I put you under oath by the living God, that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!”
耶稣却不言语. 大祭司对他说: “我指著永生神叫你起誓告诉我们, 你是神的儿子基督不是? ”

26:64 Jesus said to him, “You have said it. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
耶稣对他说: “你说的是. 然而, 我告诉你们, 后来你们要看见人子坐在那权能者的右边, 驾着天上的云降临. ”

26:65 Then the high priest tore his robes, saying, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have just now heard the blasphemy!
大祭司就撕开衣服, 说: “他说了僭妄的话, 我们何必再用见证人呢? 这僭妄的话, 现在你们都听见了.

26:66 What do you think?” And they answered and said, “He deserves death!”
你们的意见如何? ”他们回答说: “他是该死的. ”

26:67 Then they spat in his face and struck him with their fists, and they slapped him,
他们就吐唾沫在他脸上, 用拳头打他; 也有用手掌打他的, 说:

26:68 saying, “Prophesy for us, you Christ! Who is it who hit you?”
“基督啊! 你是先知, 告诉我们打你的是谁? ”

26:69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a female slave came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
彼得在外面院子里坐着, 有一个使女前来, 说: “你素来也是同那加利利人耶稣一伙的. ”

26:70 But he denied it in the presence of them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean!”
彼得在众人面前却不承认, 说: “我不知道你说的是甚么! ”

26:71 And when he went out to the gateway, another female slave saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.”
既出去, 到了门口, 又有一个使女看见他, 就对那里的人说: “这个人也是同拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的. ”

26:72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
彼得又不承认, 并且起誓说: “我不认得那个人. ”

26:73 And after a little while those who were standing there came up and said to Peter, “You really are one of them also, because even your accent reveals who you are.”
过了不多的时候, 旁边站着的人前来, 对彼得说: “你真是他们一党的, 你的口音把你露出来了. ”

26:74 Then he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
彼得就发咒起誓地说: “我不认得那个人. ”立时, 鸡就叫了.

26:75 And Peter remembered the statement Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times,” and he went outside and wept bitterly.
彼得想起耶稣所说的话: “鸡叫以先, 你要三次不认我. ”他就出去痛哭.

Matthew - Chapter 27

27:1 Now when it was early morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus in order to put him to death.
到了早晨, 众祭司长和民间的长老大家商议要治死耶稣,

27:2 And after tying him up, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
就把他捆绑, 解去, 交给巡抚彼拉多.

27:3 Then when Judas, the one who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders,
这时候, 卖耶稣的犹大看见耶稣已经定了罪, 就后悔, 把那三十块钱拿回来给祭司长和长老, 说:

27:4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
“我卖了无辜之人的血是有罪了. ”他们说: “那与我们有甚么相干? 你自己承当吧! ”

27:5 And throwing the silver coins into the temple he departed. And he went away and hanged himself.
犹大就把那银钱丢在殿里, 出去吊死了.

27:6 But the chief priests took the silver coins and said, “It is not permitted to put them into the temple treasury, because it is blood money.”
祭司长拾起银钱来, 说: “这是血价, 不可放在库里. ”

27:7 And after taking counsel, they purchased with them the Potter’s Field, for a burial place for strangers.
他们商议, 就用那银钱买了窑户的一块田, 为要埋葬外乡人.

27:8 (For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood until today.)
所以那块田直到今日还叫做“血田”.

27:9 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, who said, “And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who had been priced, on whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel,
这就应了先知耶利米的话, 说: “他们用那三十块钱, 就是被估定之人的价钱, 是以色列人中所估定的,

27:10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, just as the Lord directed me.”
买了窑户的一块田; 这是照着主所吩咐我的. ”

27:11 So Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” And Jesus said, “You say so.”
耶稣站在巡抚面前; 巡抚问他说: “你是犹太人的王吗? ”耶稣说: “你说的是. ”

27:12 And when he was being accused by the chief priests and elders he answered nothing.
他被祭司长和长老控告的时候, 甚么都不回答.

27:13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they are testifying against you?”
彼拉多就对他说: “他们作见证告你这么多的事, 你没有听见吗? ”

27:14 And he did not reply to him, not even with reference to one statement, so that the governor was very astonished.
耶稣仍不回答, 连一句话也不说, 以致巡抚甚觉希奇.

27:15 Now at each feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd—the one whom they wanted.
巡抚有一个常例, 每逢这节期, 随众人所要的释放一个囚犯给他们.

27:16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.
当时有一个出名的囚犯叫巴拉巴.

27:17 So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you—Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?”
众人聚集的时候, 彼拉多就对他们说: “你们要我释放哪一个给你们? 是巴拉巴呢? 是称为基督的耶稣呢? ”

27:18 (For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.
巡抚原知道他们是因为嫉妒才把他解了来.

27:19 And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much as a result of a dream today because of him.”)
正坐堂的时候, 他的夫人打发人来说: “这义人的事, 你一点不可管, 因为我今天在梦中为他受了许多的苦. ”

27:20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.
祭司长和长老挑唆众人, 求释放巴拉巴, 除灭耶稣.

27:21 So the governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”
巡抚对众人说: “这两个人, 你们要我释放哪一个给你们呢? ”他们说: “巴拉巴. ”

27:22 Pilate said to them, “What then should I do with Jesus, the one who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!”
彼拉多说: “这样, 那称为基督的耶稣我怎么办他呢? ”他们都说: “把他钉十字架! ”

27:23 And he said, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they began to shout even louder, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
巡抚说: “为甚么呢? 他做了甚么恶事呢? ”他们便极力地喊著说: “把他钉十字架! ”

27:24 So Pilate, when he saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but instead an uproar was developing, took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this man. You see to it!”
彼拉多见说也无济于事, 反要生乱, 就拿水在众人面前洗手, 说: “流这义人的血, 罪不在我, 你们承当吧. ”

27:25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
众人都回答说: “他的血归到我们和我们的子孙身上. ”

27:26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over so that he could be crucified.
于是彼拉多释放巴拉巴给他们, 把耶稣鞭打了, 交给人钉十字架.

27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole cohort to him.
巡抚的兵就把耶稣带进衙门, 叫全营的兵都聚集在他那里.

27:28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet military cloak around him,
他们给他脱了衣服, 穿上一件朱红色袍子,

27:29 and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling down before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”
用荆棘编做冠冕, 戴在他头上, 拿一根苇子放在他右手里, 跪在他面前, 戏弄他, 说: “恭喜, 犹太人的王啊! ”

27:30 And they spat on him and took the reed and repeatedly struck him on his head.
又吐唾沫在他脸上, 拿苇子打他的头.

27:31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the military cloak and put his own clothes on him, and led him away in order to crucify him.
戏弄完了, 就给他脱了袍子, 仍穿上他自己的衣服, 带他出去, 要钉十字架.

27:32 And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon. They forced this man to carry his cross.
他们出来的时候, 遇见一个古利奈人, 名叫西门, 就勉强他同去, 好背着耶稣的十字架.

27:33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),
到了一个地方名叫各各他, 意思就是“髑髅地”.

27:34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink, and when he tasted it he did not want to drink it.
兵丁拿苦胆调和的酒给耶稣喝. 他尝了, 就不肯喝.

27:35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots.
他们既将他钉在十字架上, 就拈阄分他的衣服,

27:36 And they sat down and were watching over him there.
又坐在那里看守他.

27:37 And they put above his head the charge against him in writing: “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.”
在他头以上安一个牌子, 写着他的罪状, 说: “这是犹太人的王耶稣. ”

27:38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
当时, 有两个强盗和他同钉十字架, 一个在右边, 一个在左边.

27:39 And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads
从那里经过的人讥诮他, 摇著头, 说:

27:40 and saying, “The one who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
“你这拆毁圣殿,三日又建造起来的, 可以救自己吧! 你如果是神的儿子, 就从十字架上下来吧! ”

27:41 In the same way also the chief priests, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying,
祭司长和文士并长老也是这样戏弄他, 说:

27:42 “He saved others; he is not able to save himself! He is the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him!
“他救了别人, 不能救自己. 他是以色列的王, 现在可以从十字架上下来, 我们就信他.

27:43 He trusts in God; let him deliver him now if he wants to, because he said, ‘I am the Son of God’!”
他倚靠神, 神若喜悦他, 现在可以救他; 因为他曾说: ‘我是神的儿子. ’”

27:44 And in the same way even the robbers who were crucified with him were reviling him.
那和他同钉的强盗也是这样地讥诮他.

27:45 Now from the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
从午正到申初, 遍地都黑暗了.

27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)
约在申初, 耶稣大声喊著说: “以利! 以利! 拉马撒巴各大尼? ”就是说: “我的神! 我的神! 为甚么离弃我? ”

27:47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, “This man is summoning Elijah!”
站在那里的人, 有的听见就说: “这个人呼叫以利亚呢! ”

27:48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.
内中有一个人赶紧跑去, 拿海绒蘸满了醋, 绑在苇子上, 送给他喝.

27:49 But the others said, “Leave him alone! let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.”
其余的人说: “且等著, 看以利亚来救他不来. ”

27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
耶稣又大声喊叫, 气就断了.

27:51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook and the rocks were split.
忽然, 殿里的幔子从上到下裂为两半, 地也震动, 磐石也崩裂,

27:52 And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
坟墓也开了, 已睡圣徒的身体多有起来的.

27:53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
到耶稣复活以后, 他们从坟墓里出来, 进了圣城, 向许多人显现.

27:54 Now the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that took place, were extremely frightened, saying, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”
百夫长和一同看守耶稣的人看见地震并所经历的事, 就极其害怕, 说: “这真是神的儿子了! ”

27:55 And there were many women there, observing from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him,

27:56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
内中有抹大拉的马利亚, 又有雅各和约西的母亲马利亚, 并有西庇太两个儿子的母亲.

27:57 Now when it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who also was a disciple of Jesus himself.
到了晚上, 有一个财主, 名叫约瑟, 是亚利马太来的, 他也是耶稣的门徒.

27:58 This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
这人去见彼拉多, 求耶稣的身体; 彼拉多就吩咐给他.

27:59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
约瑟取了身体, 用干净细麻布裹好,

27:60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a large stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.
安放在自己的新坟墓里, 就是他凿在磐石里的. 他又把大石头滚到墓门口, 就去了.

27:61 Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
有抹大拉的马利亚和那个马利亚在那里, 对着坟墓坐着.

27:62 Now on the next day, which is after the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate,
次日, 就是预备日的第二天, 祭司长和法利赛人聚集来见彼拉多, 说:

27:63 saying, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise.’
“大人, 我们记得那诱惑人的还活着的时候曾说: ‘三日后我要复活. ’

27:64 Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
因此, 请吩咐人将坟墓把守妥当, 直到第三日, 恐怕他的门徒来, 把他偷了去, 就告诉百姓说: ‘他从死里复活了. ’这样, 那后来的迷惑比先前的更利害了! ”

27:65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you know how.”
彼拉多说: “你们有看守的兵, 去吧! 尽你们所能的把守妥当. ”

27:66 So they went with the guard of soldiers and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
他们就带着看守的兵同去, 封了石头, 将坟墓把守妥当.

28:1 Now after the Sabbath, at the dawning on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to view the tomb.
安息日将尽, 七日的头一日, 天快亮的时候, 抹大拉的马利亚和那个马利亚来看坟墓.

28:4 And the guards trembled from the fear of him and became like dead men.

28:6 He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

28:7 And go quickly, tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there.’ Behold, I have told you.”
快去告诉他的门徒, 说他从死里复活了, 并且在你们以先往加利利去, 在那里你们要见他. 看哪, 我已经告诉你们了. ”

28:8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
妇女们就急忙离开坟墓, 又害怕, 又大大地欢喜, 跑去要报给他的门徒.

28:9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
忽然, 耶稣遇见她们, 说: “愿你们平安! ”她们就上前抱住他的脚拜他.

28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go tell my brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
耶稣对她们说: “不要害怕! 你们去告诉我的弟兄, 叫他们往加利利去, 在那里必见我. ”

28:11 And while they were going, behold, some of the guard of soldiers went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
她们去的时候, 看守的兵有几个进城去, 将所经历的事都报给祭司长.

28:12 And after they had assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a rather large sum of money to the soldiers,
祭司长和长老聚集商议, 就拿许多银钱给兵丁, 说:

28:13 telling them, “Say ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him while we were sleeping.’
“你们要这样说: ‘夜间我们睡觉的时候, 他的门徒来, 把他偷去了. ’

28:14 And if this matter is heard before the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
倘若这话被巡抚听见, 有我们劝他, 保你们无事. ”

28:15 So they took the money and did as they were told, and spread abroad this report among the Jews until this very day.
兵丁受了银钱, 就照所嘱咐他们的去行. 这话就传说在犹太人中间, 直到今日.

28:20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the age.”
凡我所吩咐你们的, 都教训他们遵守, 我就常与你们同在, 直到世界的末了. ”

Mark (马可福音)

Mark - Chapter 1

1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
神的儿子, 耶稣基督福音的起头.

1:2 Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, “Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way,
正如先知以赛亚(有古卷没有以赛亚三个字)书上记着说: 看哪, 我要差遣我的使者在你前面, 预备道路.

1:3 the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!’ ”
在旷野有人声喊著说: 预备主的道, 修直他的路.

1:4 John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
照这话, 约翰来了, 在旷野施洗, 传悔改的洗礼, 使罪得赦.

1:5 And all the Judean region and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
犹太全地和耶路撒冷的人都出去到约翰那里, 承认他们的罪, 在约旦河里受他的洗.

1:6 And John was dressed in camel’s hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
约翰穿骆驼毛的衣服, 腰束皮带, 吃的是蝗虫,野蜜.

1:7 And he was preaching, saying, “One who is more powerful than I is coming after me, of whom I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals.
他传道说: “有一位在我以后来的, 能力比我更大, 我就是弯腰给他解鞋带也是不配的.

1:8 I baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
我是用水给你们施洗, 他却要用圣灵给你们施洗. ”

1:9 And it happened that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.
那时, 耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来, 在约旦河里受了约翰的洗.

1:10 And immediately as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens being split apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him.
他从水里一上来, 就看见天裂开了, 圣灵仿佛鸽子, 降在他身上.

1:11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
又有声音从天上来, 说: “你是我的爱子, 我喜悦你. ”

1:12 And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
圣灵就把耶稣催到旷野里去.

1:13 And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.
他在旷野四十天, 受撒但的试探, 并与野兽同在一处, 且有天使来伺候他.

1:14 And after John had been taken into custody, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God
约翰下监以后, 耶稣来到加利利, 宣传神的福音,

1:15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
说: “日期满了, 神的国近了. 你们当悔改, 信福音! ”

1:16 And as he was passing by along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
耶稣顺着加利利的海边走, 看见西门和西门的兄弟安得烈在海里撒网; 他们本是打鱼的.

1:17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of people.”
耶稣对他们说: “来跟从我, 我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样. ”

1:18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
他们就立刻舍了网, 跟从了他.

1:19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were in the boat mending the nets.
耶稣稍往前走, 又见西庇太的儿子雅各和雅各的兄弟约翰在船上补网.

1:20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went away after him.
耶稣随即招呼他们, 他们就把父亲西庇太和雇工人留在船上, 跟从耶稣去了.

1:21 And they went into Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue.
到了迦百农, 耶稣就在安息日进了会堂教训人.

1:22 And they were amazed at his teaching, because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes.
众人很希奇他的教训; 因为他教训他们, 正像有权柄的人, 不像文士.

1:23 And so then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
在会堂里, 有一个人被污鬼附着. 他喊叫说:

1:24 saying, “Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
“拿撒勒人耶稣, 我们与你有甚么相干? 你来灭我们吗? 我知道你是谁, 乃是神的圣者. ”

1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
耶稣责备他说: “不要作声! 从这人身上出来吧. ”

1:26 And after convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him.
污鬼叫那人抽了一阵疯, 大声喊叫, 就出来了.

1:27 And they were all amazed, so that they began to discuss with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.”
众人都惊讶, 以致彼此对问说: “这是甚么事? 是个新道理啊! 他用权柄吩咐污鬼, 连污鬼也听从了他. ”

1:28 And the report about him then went out everywhere in the whole surrounding region of Galilee.
耶稣的名声就传遍了加利利的四方.

1:29 And so then he departed from the synagogue and came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
他们一出会堂, 就同著雅各,约翰, 进了西门和安得烈的家.

1:30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, suffering with a fever, and at once they told him about her.
西门的岳母正害热病躺着, 就有人告诉耶稣.

1:31 And he came and raised her up by taking hold of her hand, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
耶稣进前拉着她的手, 扶她起来, 热就退了, 她就服事他们.

1:32 Now when it was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing to him all those who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
天晚日落的时候, 有人带着一切害病的, 和被鬼附的, 来到耶稣跟前.

1:33 And the whole town was gathered together at the door.
合城的人都聚集在门前.

1:34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases and expelled many demons. And he did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
耶稣治好了许多害各样病的人, 又赶出许多鬼, 不许鬼说话, 因为鬼认识他.

1:35 And getting up early in the morning while it was very dark, he departed and went to a deserted place, and there he was praying.
次日早晨, 天未亮的时候, 耶稣起来, 到旷野地方去, 在那里祷告.

1:36 And Simon and those who were with him searched diligently for him.
西门和同伴追了他去,

1:37 And they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you!”
遇见了就对他说: “众人都找你. ”

1:38 And he said to them, “Let us go elsewhere, into the neighboring rural towns, so that I can preach there also, because I have come out for this very reason.”
耶稣对他们说: “我们可以往别处去, 到邻近的乡村, 我也好在那里传道, 因为我是为这事出来的. ”

1:39 And he went into all Galilee preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.
于是在加利利全地, 进了会堂, 传道, 赶鬼.

1:40 And a leper came to him, entreating him and kneeling down, saying to him, “If you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
有一个长大痲疯的来求耶稣, 向他跪下, 说: “你若肯, 必能叫我洁净了. ”

1:41 And becoming angry, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
耶稣动了慈心, 就伸手摸他, 说: “我肯, 你洁净了吧! ”

1:42 And immediately the leprosy went away from him and he was made clean.
大痲疯即时离开他, 他就洁净了.

1:43 And warning him sternly, he sent him away at once.
耶稣严严地嘱咐他, 就打发他走,

1:44 And he said to him, “See to it that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and bring for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
对他说: “你要谨慎, 甚么话都不可告诉人, 只要去把身体给祭司察看, 又因为你洁净了, 献上摩西所吩咐的礼物, 对众人作证据. ”

1:45 But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread abroad the account, so that he was no longer able to enter publicly into a town. But he was staying outside in deserted places, and they were coming to him from all directions.
那人出去, 倒说许多的话, 把这件事传扬开了, 叫耶稣以后不得再明明地进城, 只好在外边旷野地方. 人从各处都就了他来.

Mark - Chapter 2

2:1 And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home.
过了些日子, 耶稣又进了迦百农. 人听见他在房子里,

2:2 And many had gathered, so that there was no longer room, not even at the door, and he was speaking the word to them.
就有许多人聚集, 甚至连门前都没有空地; 耶稣就对他们讲道.

2:3 And they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.
有人带着一个瘫子来见耶稣, 是用四个人抬来的;

2:4 And when they were not able to bring him to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And after digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.
因为人多, 不得近前, 就把耶稣所在的房子, 拆了房顶, 既拆通了, 就把瘫子连所躺卧的褥子都缒下来.

2:5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
耶稣见他们的信心, 就对瘫子说: “小子, 你的罪赦了. ”

2:6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
有几个文士坐在那里, 心里议论, 说:

2:7 “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?”
“这个人为甚么这样说呢? 他说僭妄的话了. 除了神以外, 谁能赦罪呢? ”

2:8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they were reasoning like this within themselves, said to them, “Why are you considering these things in your hearts?
耶稣心中知道他们心里这样议论, 就说: “你们心里为甚么这样议论呢?

2:9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk’?

耶稣就用比喻教训他们许多道理. 在教训之间, 对他们说:

4:3 “Listen! Behold, the sower went out to sow.
“你们听啊! 有一个撒种的出去撒种.

4:4 And it happened that while he was sowing, some seed fell on the side of the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

4:5 And other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once, because it did not have any depth of soil.
有落在土浅石头地上的, 土既不深, 发苗最快,

4:6 And when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have enough root, it withered.

4:7 And other seed fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it, and it did not produce grain.
有落在荆棘里的, 荆棘长起来, 把它挤住了, 就不结实;

4:8 And other seed fell on the good soil, and produced grain, coming up and increasing, and it bore a crop—one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred times as much.
又有落在好土里的, 就发生长大, 结实有三十倍的, 有六十倍的, 有一百倍的”;

4:9 And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!”
又说: “有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

4:10 And when he was alone, those around him together with the twelve began asking him about the parables.
无人的时候, 跟随耶稣的人和十二个门徒问他这比喻的意思.

4:11 And he said to them, “To you has been granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is in parables,
耶稣对他们说: “神国的奥祕只叫你们知道, 若是对外人讲, 凡事就用比喻,

4:12 so that ‘they may look closely and not perceive, and they may listen carefully and not understand, lest they turn and it be forgiven them.’ ”
叫他们看是看见, 却不晓得; 听是听见, 却不明白; 恐怕他们回转过来, 就得赦免. ”

4:13 And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? And how will you understand all the parables?
又对他们说: “你们不明白这比喻吗? 这样怎能明白一切的比喻呢?

4:14 The sower sows the word.
撒种之人所撒的就是道.

4:15 And these are the ones beside the path where the word is sown, and whenever they hear it, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

那撒在石头地上的, 就是人听了道, 立刻欢喜领受,

4:17 And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Then when affliction or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.
但他心里没有根, 不过是暂时的, 及至为道遭了患难, 或是受了逼迫, 立刻就跌倒了.

4:18 And others are the ones sown among the thorn plants—these are the ones who hear the word,
还有那撒在荆棘里的, 就是人听了道,

4:19 and the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word and it becomes unproductive.
后来有世上的思虑,钱财的迷惑, 和别样的私欲进来, 把道挤住了, 就不能结实.

4:20 And those are the ones sown on the good soil, who hear the word and receive it and bear fruit—one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred times as much.”
那撒在好地上的, 就是人听道, 又领受, 并且结实, 有三十倍的, 有六十倍的, 有一百倍的. ”

4:21 And he said to them, “Surely a lamp is not brought so that it may be put under a bushel basket or under a bed, is it? Is it not so that it may be put on a lampstand?
耶稣又对他们说: “人拿灯来, 岂是要放在斗底下, 床底下, 不放在灯台上吗?

4:22 For nothing is secret except so that it may be revealed, nor has become hidden except so that it will come to light.
因为掩藏的事, 没有不显出来的; 隐瞒的事, 没有不露出来的.

4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

4:24 And he said to them, “Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you.
又说: “你们所听的要留心. 你们用甚么量器量给人, 也必用甚么量器量给你们, 并且要多给你们.

4:25 For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
因为有的, 还要给他; 没有的, 连他所有的也要夺去. ”

4:26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is like this: like a man scatters seed on the ground.
又说: “神的国如同人把种撒在地上.

4:27 And he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows—he does not know how.
黑夜睡觉, 白日起来, 这种就发芽渐长, 那人却不晓得如何这样.

4:28 By itself the soil produces a crop: first the grass, then the head of grain, then the full grain in the head.
地生五谷是出于自然的: 先发苗, 后长穗, 再后穗上结成饱满的子粒;

4:29 But when the crop permits, he sends in the sickle right away, because the harvest has come.”
谷既熟了, 就用镰刀去割, 因为收成的时候到了. ”

4:30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or by what parable can we present it?
又说: “神的国, 我们可用甚么比较呢? 可用甚么比喻表明呢?

4:31 It is like a mustard seed that when sown on the ground, although it is the smallest of all the seeds that are on the ground,
好像一粒芥菜种, 种在地里的时候, 虽比地上的百种都小,

4:32 but when it is sown it grows up and becomes the largest of all the garden herbs, and sends out large branches so that the birds of the sky are able to nest in its shade.”
但种上以后, 就长起来, 比各样的菜都大, 又长出大枝来, 甚至天上的飞鸟可以宿在它的荫下. ”

4:33 And with many parables such as these he was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
耶稣用许多这样的比喻, 照他们所能听的, 对他们讲道.

4:34 And he did not speak to them without a parable, but in private he explained everything to his own disciples.
若不用比喻, 就不对他们讲; 没有人的时候, 就把一切的道讲给门徒听.

4:35 And on that day, when it was evening, he said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”
当那天晚上, 耶稣对门徒说: “我们渡到那边去吧. ”

4:36 And leaving the crowd, they took him along, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
门徒离开众人, 耶稣仍在船上, 他们就把他一同带去; 也有别的船和他同行.

4:37 And a great storm of wind developed, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already being filled with water.
忽然起了暴风, 波浪打入船内, 甚至船要满了水.

4:38 And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion, and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, is it not a concern to you that we are perishing?”
耶稣在船尾上, 枕着枕头睡觉. 门徒叫醒了他, 说: “夫子! 我们丧命, 你不顾吗? ”

4:39 And he woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Be quiet! Be silent!” And the wind abated and there was a great calm.
耶稣醒了, 斥责风, 向海说: “住了吧! 静了吧! ”风就止住, 大大地平静了.

4:40 And he said to them, “Why are you fearful? Do you not yet have faith?”
耶稣对他们说: “为甚么胆怯? 你们还没有信心吗? ”

4:41 And they were terribly frightened and began to say to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
他们就大大地惧怕, 彼此说: “这到底是谁, 连风和海也听从他了. ”

Mark - Chapter 5

5:1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.

耶稣一下船, 就有一个被污鬼附着的人从坟茔里出来迎著他.

5:3 who lived among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him any longer, not even with a chain,
那人常住在坟茔里, 没有人能捆住他, 就是用铁链也不能;

5:4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one was strong enough to subdue him.
因为人屡次用脚镣和铁链捆锁他, 铁链竟被他挣断了, 脚镣也被他弄碎了; 总没有人能制伏他.

5:5 And during every night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

大声呼叫说: “至高神的儿子耶稣, 我与你有甚么相干? 我指著神恳求你, 不要叫我受苦! ”

5:8 (For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”)
是因耶稣曾吩咐他说: “污鬼啊, 从这人身上出来吧! ”

5:9 And he was asking him “What is your name?” And he said to him, “My name is Legion, because we are many.”
耶稣问他说: “你名叫甚么? ”回答说: “我名叫‘群’, 因为我们多的缘故”;

5:10 And he was imploring him many times that he would not send them out of the region.
就再三地求耶稣, 不要叫他们离开那地方.

5:11 Now a large herd of pigs was there at the hill feeding,
在那里山坡上, 有一大群猪吃食;

5:12 and they implored him, saying, “Send us to the pigs so that we may enter into them.”
鬼就央求耶稣说: “求你打发我们往猪群里, 附著猪去. ”

5:13 And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs, and the herd—about two thousand—rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
耶稣准了他们, 污鬼就出来, 进入猪里去. 于是那群猪闯下山崖, 投在海里, 淹死了. 猪的数目约有二千.

5:14 And their herdsmen fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside, and they came to see what it was that had happened.
放猪的就逃跑了, 去告诉城里和乡下的人. 众人就来, 要看是甚么事.

5:15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there clothed and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion—and they were afraid.
他们来到耶稣那里, 看见那被鬼附着的人, 就是从前被群鬼所附的, 坐着, 穿上衣服, 心里明白过来, 他们就害怕.

5:19 And he did not permit him, but said to him, “Go to your home to your people and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and that he has had mercy on you.”
耶稣不许, 却对他说: “你回家去, 到你的亲属那里, 将主为你所做的是何等大的事, 是怎样怜悯你, 都告诉他们. ”

5:20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him, and they were all astonished.
那人就走了, 在低加坡里传扬耶稣为他做了何等大的事, 众人就都希奇.

5:21 And after Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered to him, and he was beside the sea.
耶稣坐船又渡到那边去, 就有许多人到他那里聚集; 他正在海边上.

5:22 And one of the rulers of the synagogue came—Jairus by name—and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet.
有一个管会堂的人, 名叫睚鲁, 来见耶稣, 就俯伏在他脚前,

5:23 And he was imploring him many times, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death! Come, lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and will live.”
再三地求他, 说: “我的小女儿快要死了, 求你去按手在她身上, 使她痊愈, 得以活了. ”

5:24 And he went with him, and a large crowd was following him and pressing around him.
耶稣就和他同去. 有许多人跟随拥挤他.

5:25 And there was a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages twelve years.
有一个女人, 患了十二年的血漏,

5:26 And she had endured many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and had received no help at all, but instead became worse.
在好些医生手里受了许多的苦, 又花尽了她所有的, 一点也不见好, 病势反倒更重了.

5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his cloak,
她听见耶稣的事, 就从后头来, 杂在众人中间, 摸耶稣的衣裳,

5:28 for she was saying, “If I touch just his clothing, I will be healed!”
意思说: “我只摸他的衣裳, 就必痊愈. ”

5:29 And immediately her hemorrhage stopped and she realized in her body that she was healed of her suffering.
于是她血漏的源头立刻干了; 她便觉得身上的灾病好了.

5:30 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from himself, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothing?”
耶稣顿时心里觉得有能力从自己身上出去, 就在众人中间转过来, 说: “谁摸我的衣裳? ”

5:31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say ‘Who touched me?’ ”
门徒对他说: “你看众人拥挤你, 还说‘谁摸我’吗? ”

5:32 And he was looking around to see the one who had done this.
耶稣周围观看, 要见做这事的女人.

5:33 So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.
那女人知道在自己身上所成的事, 就恐惧战兢, 来俯伏在耶稣跟前, 将实情全告诉他.

5:34 But he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering.”
耶稣对她说: “女儿, 你的信救了你, 平平安安地回去吧! 你的灾病痊愈了. ”

5:35 While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler’s house saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?”
还说话的时候, 有人从管会堂的家里来, 说: “你的女儿死了, 何必还劳动先生呢? ”

5:36 But Jesus, ignoring what was said, told the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid—only believe!”
耶稣听见所说的话, 就对管会堂的说: “不要怕, 只要信! ”

5:37 And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
于是带着彼得,雅各,和雅各的兄弟约翰同去, 不许别人跟随他.

5:38 And they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue and saw a commotion, and people weeping and wailing loudly.
他们来到管会堂的家里; 耶稣看见那里乱嚷, 并有人大大地哭泣哀号,

5:39 And when he entered, he said to them, “Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping.”
进到里面, 就对他们说: “为甚么乱嚷哭泣呢? 孩子不是死了, 是睡着了. ”

5:40 And they began laughing at him. But he sent them all out and took along the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in to where the child was.
他们就嗤笑耶稣. 耶稣把他们都撵出去, 就带着孩子的父母和跟随的人进了孩子所在的地方,

5:41 And taking hold of the child’s hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”),
就拉着孩子的手, 对她说: “大利大, 古米! ”(翻出来就是说: “闺女, 我吩咐你起来! ”)

5:42 and immediately the girl stood up and began walking around (for she was twelve years old). And immediately they were utterly and completely astonished.
那闺女立时起来走. 他们就大大地惊奇; 闺女已经十二岁了.

5:43 And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her something to eat.
耶稣切切地嘱咐他们, 不要叫人知道这事, 又吩咐给她东西吃.

Mark - Chapter 6

6:1 And he went out from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.
耶稣离开那里, 来到自己的家乡; 门徒也跟从他.

6:2 And when the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed, saying, “Where did this man get these things? And what is this wisdom that has been granted to this man, and the miracles such as these performed through his hands?
到了安息日, 他在会堂里教训人. 众人听见, 就甚希奇, 说: “这人从哪里有这些事呢? 所赐给他的是甚么智慧? 他手所做的是何等的异能呢?

6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they were offended by him.
这不是那木匠吗? 不是马利亚的儿子雅各,约西,犹大,西门的长兄吗? 他妹妹们不也是在我们这里吗? ”他们就厌弃他(厌弃他: 原文是因他跌倒).

6:4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own household.”
耶稣对他们说: “大凡先知, 除了本地,亲属,本家之外, 没有不被人尊敬的. ”

6:5 And he was not able to do any miracle in that place except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
耶稣就在那里不得行甚么异能, 不过按手在几个病人身上, 治好他们.

6:6 And he was astonished because of their unbelief. And he was going around among the villages teaching.
他也诧异他们不信, 就往周围乡村教训人去了.

6:7 And he summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
耶稣叫了十二个门徒来, 差遣他们两个两个地出去, 也赐给他们权柄, 制伏污鬼;

6:8 And he commanded them that they take along nothing for the journey except only a staff—no bread, no traveler’s bag, no money in their belts—
并且嘱咐他们: “行路的时候不要带食物和口袋, 腰袋里也不要带钱, 除了柺杖以外, 甚么都不要带;

6:9 but to put on sandals and not to wear two tunics.
只要穿鞋, 也不要穿两件褂子”;

6:10 And he said to them, “Whenever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
又对他们说: “你们无论到何处, 进了人的家, 就住在那里, 直到离开那地方.

6:11 And whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them.”
何处的人不接待你们, 不听你们, 你们离开那里的时候, 就把脚上的尘土跺下去, 对他们作见证. ”

6:12 And they went out and proclaimed that people should repent.
门徒就出去传道, 叫人悔改,

6:13 And they were expelling many demons and anointing many sick people with olive oil and healing them.
又赶出许多的鬼, 用油抹了许多病人, 治好他们.

6:14 And King Herod heard it, because his name had become known. And they were saying, “John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
耶稣的名声传扬出来. 希律王听见了, 就说: “施洗的约翰从死里复活了, 所以这些异能由他里面发出来. ”

6:15 But others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and others were saying, “He is a prophet like one of the prophets.”
但别人说: “是以利亚. ”又有人说: “是先知, 正像先知中的一位. ”

6:16 But when Herod heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded—this one has been raised!”
希律听见却说: “是我所斩的约翰, 他复活了. ”

6:17 For Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
先是希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故, 差人去拿住约翰, 锁在监里, 因为希律已经娶了那妇人.

6:18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not permitted for you to have your brother’s wife.”
约翰曾对希律说: “你娶你兄弟的妻子是不合理的. ”

6:19 So Herodias held a grudge against him and was wanting to kill him, and was not able to do so.
于是希罗底怀恨他, 想要杀他, 只是不能;

6:20 For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a righteous and holy man and protected him. And when he listened to him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he listened to him gladly.
因为希律知道约翰是义人, 是圣人, 所以敬畏他, 保护他, 听他讲论, 就多照着行(有古卷: 游移不定), 并且乐意听他.

6:21 And a suitable day came when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers and military tribunes and the most prominent men of Galilee.
有一天, 恰巧是希律的生日, 希律摆设筵席, 请了大臣和千夫长, 并加利利作首领的.

6:22 And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and pleased Herod and his dinner guests, the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
希罗底的女儿进来跳舞, 使希律和同席的人都欢喜. 王就对女子说: “你随意向我求甚么, 我必给你. ”

6:23 And he swore to her, “Anything whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
又对她起誓说: “随你向我求甚么, 就是我国的一半, 我也必给你. ”

6:24 And she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the baptizer.”
她就出去对她母亲说: “我可以求甚么呢? ”她母亲说: “施洗约翰的头. ”

6:25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
她就急忙进去见王, 求他说: “我愿王立时把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里给我. ”

6:26 And although he was deeply grieved, the king, because of his oaths and dinner guests, did not want to refuse her.
王就甚忧愁; 但因他所起的誓, 又因同席的人, 就不肯推辞,

6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner and ordered him to bring his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison.
随即差一个护卫兵, 吩咐拿约翰的头来. 护卫兵就去, 在监里斩了约翰,

6:28 And he brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
把头放在盘子里, 拿来给女子, 女子就给她母亲.

6:29 And when his disciples heard this, they came and took away his corpse and placed it in a tomb.
约翰的门徒听见了, 就来把他的尸首领去, 葬在坟墓里.

6:30 And the apostles regathered to Jesus and reported to him everything that they had done and that they had taught.
使徒聚集到耶稣那里, 将一切所做的事,所传的道全告诉他.

6:31 And he said to them, “You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time.” For those who were coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.
他就说: “你们来, 同我暗暗地到旷野地方去歇一歇. ”这是因为来往的人多, 他们连吃饭也没有工夫.

6:32 And they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
他们就坐船, 暗暗地往旷野地方去.

6:33 And many people saw them leaving and recognized them, and ran there together by land from all the towns, and arrived ahead of them.
众人看见他们去, 有许多认识他们的, 就从各城步行, 一同跑到那里, 比他们先赶到了.

6:34 And getting out of the boat he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
耶稣出来, 见有许多的人, 就怜悯他们, 因为他们如同羊没有牧人一般, 于是开口教训他们许多道理.

6:35 And the hour had already become late when his disciples came up to him, saying, “The place is desolate and the hour is already late.
天已经晚了, 门徒进前来, 说: “这是野地, 天已经晚了,

6:36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding farms and villages and purchase something to eat for themselves.”
请叫众人散开, 他们好往四面乡村里去, 自己买甚么吃. ”

6:37 But he answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Should we go and purchase bread for two hundred denarii and give it to them to eat?”
耶稣回答说: “你们给他们吃吧. ”门徒说: “我们可以去买二十两银子的饼给他们吃吗? ”

6:38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
耶稣说: “你们有多少饼, 可以去看看. ”他们知道了, 就说: “五个饼, 两条鱼. ”

6:39 And he ordered them all to recline in groups on the green grass.
耶稣吩咐他们, 叫众人一帮一帮地坐在青草地上.

6:40 And they reclined in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
众人就一排一排地坐下, 有一百一排的, 有五十一排的.

6:41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples so that they could set them before them. And he distributed the two fish to them all.
耶稣拿着这五个饼, 两条鱼, 望着天祝福, 擘开饼, 递给门徒, 摆在众人面前, 也把那两条鱼分给众人.

6:42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
他们都吃, 并且吃饱了.

6:43 And they picked up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and of the fish.
门徒就把碎饼碎鱼收拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子.

6:44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
吃饼的男人共有五千.

6:45 And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself dismissed the crowd.
耶稣随即催门徒上船, 先渡到那边伯赛大去, 等他叫众人散开.

6:46 And after he had said farewell to them, he went away to the mountain to pray.
他既辞别了他们, 就往山上去祷告.

6:47 And when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land.
到了晚上, 船在海中, 耶稣独自在岸上;

6:48 And he saw them being beaten in their rowing because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he was wanting to pass by them.
看见门徒因风不顺, 摇橹甚苦. 夜里约有四更天, 就在海面上走, 往他们那里去, 意思要走过他们去.

6:49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out.
但门徒看见他在海面上走, 以为是鬼怪, 就喊叫起来;

6:50 For they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!”
因为他们都看见了他, 且甚惊慌. 耶稣连忙对他们说: “你们放心! 是我, 不要怕! ”

6:51 And he went up with them into the boat, and the wind abated. And they were extraordinarily astounded within themselves,
于是到他们那里, 上了船, 风就住了; 他们心里十分惊奇.

6:52 because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
这是因为他们不明白那分饼的事, 心里还是愚顽.

6:53 And after they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.
既渡过去, 来到革尼撒勒地方, 就靠了岸,

6:54 And as they were getting out of the boat, people recognized him immediately.
一下船, 众人认得是耶稣,

6:55 They ran about through that whole region and began to carry around those who were sick on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was.
就跑遍那一带地方, 听见他在何处, 便将有病的人用褥子抬到那里.

6:56 And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.
凡耶稣所到的地方, 或村中, 或城里, 或乡间, 他们都将病人放在街市上, 求耶稣只容他们摸他的衣裳䍁子; 凡摸著的人就都好了.

Mark - Chapter 7

7:1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered to him.
有法利赛人和几个文士从耶路撒冷来, 到耶稣那里聚集.

7:2 And they saw that some of his disciples were eating their bread with unclean—that is, unwashed—hands.
他们曾看见他的门徒中有人用俗手, 就是没有洗的手, 吃饭.

7:3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands ritually, thus holding fast to the traditions of the elders.
(原来法利赛人和犹太人都拘守古人的遗传, 若不仔细洗手就不吃饭;

7:4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions which they have received and hold fast to—for example, the washing of cups and pitchers and bronze kettles and dining couches.)
从市上来, 若不洗浴也不吃饭; 还有好些别的规矩, 他们历代拘守, 就是洗杯,罐,铜器等物. )

7:5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?”
法利赛人和文士问他说: “你的门徒为甚么不照古人的遗传, 用俗手吃饭呢? ”

7:6 So he said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me.
耶稣说: “以赛亚指著你们假冒为善之人所说的预言是不错的. 如经上说: 这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我, 心却远离我.

7:7 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
他们将人的吩咐当作道理教导人, 所以拜我也是枉然.

7:8 Abandoning the commandment of God, you hold fast to the tradition of men.”
你们是离弃神的诫命, 拘守人的遗传”;

7:9 And he said to them, “You splendidly ignore the commandment of God so that you can keep your tradition.
又说: “你们诚然是废弃神的诫命, 要守自己的遗传.

7:10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother must certainly die.’
摩西说: ‘当孝敬父母’; 又说: ‘咒骂父母的, 必治死他. ’

7:11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or to his mother, “Whatever benefit you would have received from me is corban” (that is, a gift to God),
你们倒说: ‘人若对父母说: 我所当奉给你的, 已经作了各耳板’(各耳板就是供献的意思),

7:12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,
以后你们就不容他再奉养父母.

7:13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down, and you do many similar things such as this.”
这就是你们承接遗传, 废了神的道. 你们还做许多这样的事. ”

7:14 And summoning the crowd again, he said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
耶稣又叫众人来, 对他们说: “你们都要听我的话, 也要明白.

7:15 There is nothing outside of a person that is able to defile him by going into him. But the things that go out of a person are the things that defile a person.”
从外面进去的不能污秽人, 惟有从里面出来的乃能污秽人. ”(有古卷加:

7:16
有耳可听的, 就应当听! )

7:17 And when he entered into the house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
耶稣离开众人, 进了屋子, 门徒就问他这比喻的意思.

7:18 And he said to them, “So are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that everything that is outside that goes into a person is not able to defile him?
耶稣对他们说: “你们也是这样不明白吗? 岂不晓得凡从外面进入的, 不能污秽人,

7:19 For it does not enter into his heart but into his stomach, and goes out into the latrine”—thus declaring all foods clean.
因为不是入他的心, 乃是入他的肚腹, 又落到茅厕里. (这是说, 各样的食物都是洁净的)”;

7:20 And he said, “What comes out of a person, that defiles a person.
又说: “从人里面出来的, 那才能污秽人;

7:21 For from within, from the heart of people, come evil plans, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,
因为从里面, 就是从人心里, 发出恶念,苟合,

7:22 adulteries, acts of greed, malicious deeds, deceit, licentiousness, envy, abusive speech, pride, foolishness.
偷盗,凶杀,奸淫,贪婪,邪恶,诡诈,淫荡,嫉妒,谤讟,骄傲,狂妄.

7:23 All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
这一切的恶都是从里面出来, 且能污秽人. ”

7:24 And from there he set out and went to the region of Tyre. And when he entered into a house, he wanted no one to know, and yet he was not able to escape notice.
耶稣从那里起身, 往泰尔,西顿的境内去, 进了一家, 不愿意人知道, 却隐藏不住.

7:25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, when she heard about him, came and fell down at his feet,
当下, 有一个妇人, 她的小女儿被污鬼附着, 听见耶稣的事, 就来俯伏在他脚前.

7:26 Now the woman was a Greek—a Syrophoenician by nationality—and she was asking him that he would expel the demon from her daughter.
这妇人是希腊人, 属叙利腓尼基族. 她求耶稣赶出那鬼离开她的女儿.

7:27 And he said to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”
耶稣对她说: “让儿女们先吃饱, 不好拿儿女的饼丢给狗吃. ”

7:28 But she answered and said to him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
妇人回答说: “主啊, 不错; 但是狗在桌子底下也吃孩子们的碎渣儿. ”

7:29 And he said to her, “Because of this statement, go! The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
耶稣对她说: “因这句话, 你回去吧; 鬼已经离开你的女儿了. ”

7:30 And when she went to her home, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.
她就回家去, 见小孩子躺在床上, 鬼已经出去了.

7:31 And again he went away from the region of Tyre and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the Decapolis.
耶稣又离了泰尔的境界, 经过西顿, 就从低加坡里境内来到加利利海.

7:32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they were imploring him that he would place his hand on him.
有人带着一个耳聋舌结的人来见耶稣, 求他按手在他身上.

7:33 And he took him away from the crowd by himself and put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue.
耶稣领他离开众人, 到一边去, 就用指头探他的耳朵, 吐唾沫抹他的舌头,

7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”).
望天叹息, 对他说: “以法大! ”就是说: “开了吧! ”

7:35 And his ears were opened and his difficulty in speaking was removed and he began to speak normally.
他的耳朵就开了, 舌结也解了, 说话也清楚了.

7:36 And he ordered them that they should say nothing, but as much as he ordered them not to, they proclaimed it even more instead.
耶稣嘱咐他们不要告诉人; 但他越发嘱咐, 他们越发传扬开了.

7:37 And they were amazed beyond all measure, saying, “He has done all things well! He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
众人分外希奇, 说: “他所做的事都好, 他连聋子也叫他们听见, 哑巴也叫他们说话. ”

Mark - Chapter 8

8:1 In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,
那时, 又有许多人聚集, 并没有甚么吃的. 耶稣叫门徒来, 说:

8:2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat.
“我怜悯这众人; 因为他们同我在这里已经三天, 也没有吃的了.

8:3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes they will give out on the way, and some of them have come from far away.”
我若打发他们饿著回家, 就必在路上困乏, 因为其中有从远处来的. ”

8:4 And his disciples answered him, “Where is anyone able to feed these people with bread here in the desert?”
门徒回答说: “在这野地, 从哪里能得饼, 叫这些人吃饱呢? ”

8:5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” So they said, “Seven.”
耶稣问他们说: “你们有多少饼? ”他们说: “七个. ”

8:6 And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, after he had given thanks he broke them and began giving them to his disciples so that they could set them before them. And they set them before the crowd.
他吩咐众人坐在地上, 就拿着这七个饼祝谢了, 擘开, 递给门徒, 叫他们摆开, 门徒就摆在众人面前.

8:7 And they had a few small fish, and after giving thanks for them, he said to set these before them also.
又有几条小鱼; 耶稣祝了福, 就吩咐也摆在众人面前.

8:8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets full.
众人都吃, 并且吃饱了, 收拾剩下的零碎, 有七筐子.

8:9 Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.
人数约有四千. 耶稣打发他们走了,

8:10 And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
随即同门徒上船, 来到大玛努他境内.

8:11 And the Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding from him a sign from heaven in order to test him.
法利赛人出来盘问耶稣, 求他从天上显个神蹟给他们看, 想要试探他.

8:12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!”
耶稣心里深深地叹息, 说: “这世代为甚么求神蹟呢? 我实在告诉你们, 没有神蹟给这世代看. ”

8:13 And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
他就离开他们, 又上船往海那边去了.

8:14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and except for one loaf, they did not have any with them in the boat.
门徒忘了带饼; 在船上除了一个饼, 没有别的食物.

8:15 And he ordered them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod!”
耶稣嘱咐他们说: “你们要谨慎, 防备法利赛人的酵和希律的酵. ”

8:16 And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.
他们彼此议论说: “这是因为我们没有饼吧. ”

8:17 And knowing this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?
耶稣看出来, 就说: “你们为甚么因为没有饼就议论呢? 你们还不省悟, 还不明白吗? 你们的心还是愚顽吗?

8:18 Although you have eyes, do you not see? And although you have ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
你们有眼睛, 看不见吗? 有耳朵, 听不见吗? 也不记得吗?

8:19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
我擘开那五个饼分给五千人, 你们收拾的零碎装满了多少篮子呢? ”他们说: “十二个. ”

8:20 “When I also broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”
“又擘开那七个饼分给四千人, 你们收拾的零碎装满了多少筐子呢? ”他们说: “七个. ”

8:21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
耶稣说: “你们还是不明白吗? ”

8:22 And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought to him a blind man and implored him that he would touch him.
他们来到伯赛大, 有人带一个瞎子来, 求耶稣摸他.

8:23 And he took hold of the blind man’s hand and led him outside the village, and after spitting in his eyes, he placed his hands on him and asked him, “Do you see anything?”
耶稣拉着瞎子的手, 领他到村外, 就吐唾沫在他眼睛上, 按手在他身上, 问他说: “你看见甚么了? ”

8:24 And looking up he said, “I see people, for I see them like trees walking around.”
他就抬头一看, 说: “我看见人了; 他们好像树木, 并且行走. ”

8:25 Then he placed his hands on his eyes again, and he opened his eyes and was cured, and could see everything clearly.
随后又按手在他眼睛上, 他定睛一看, 就复了原, 样样都看得清楚了.

8:26 And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”
耶稣打发他回家, 说: “连这村子你也不要进去. ”

8:27 And Jesus and his disciples went out to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?”
耶稣和门徒出去, 往凯撒利亚•腓立比村庄去; 在路上问门徒说: “人说我是谁? ”

8:28 And they told him, saying, “John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets.”
他们说: “有人说是施洗的约翰; 有人说是以利亚; 又有人说是先知里的一位. ”

8:29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to him, “You are the Christ!”
又问他们说: “你们说我是谁? ”彼得回答说: “你是基督. ”

8:30 And he warned them that they should tell no one about him.
耶稣就禁戒他们, 不要告诉人.

8:31 And he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.
从此, 他教训他们说: “人子必须受许多的苦, 被长老,祭司长, 和文士弃绝, 并且被杀, 过三天复活. ”

8:32 And he was speaking openly about the subject, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
耶稣明明地说这话, 彼得就拉着他, 劝他.

8:33 But turning around and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan, because you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of people!”
耶稣转过来, 看着门徒, 就责备彼得说: “撒但, 退我后边去吧! 因为你不体贴神的意思, 只体贴人的意思. ”

8:34 And summoning the crowd together with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
于是叫众人和门徒来, 对他们说: “若有人要跟从我, 就当舍己, 背起他的十字架来跟从我.

8:35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me and of the gospel will save it.
因为, 凡要救自己生命(或译: 灵魂; 下同)的, 必丧掉生命; 凡为我和福音丧掉生命的, 必救了生命.

8:36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
人就是赚得全世界, 赔上自己的生命, 有甚么益处呢?

8:37 For what can a person give in exchange for his life?
人还能拿甚么换生命呢?

8:38 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
凡在这淫乱罪恶的世代, 把我和我的道当作可耻的, 人子在他父的荣耀里, 同圣天使降临的时候, 也要把那人当作可耻的. ”

Mark - Chapter 9

9:1 And he said to them, “Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.”
耶稣又对他们说: “我实在告诉你们, 站在这里的, 有人在没尝死味以前, 必要看见神的国大有能力临到. ”

9:2 And after six days, Jesus took along Peter and James and John, and led them to a high mountain by themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them,
过了六天, 耶稣带着彼得,雅各,约翰暗暗地上了高山, 就在他们面前变了形像,

9:3 and his clothing became radiant—extremely white, like no cloth refiner on earth can make so white.
衣服放光, 极其洁白, 地上漂布的, 没有一个能漂得那样白.

9:4 And Elijah appeared to them together with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
忽然, 有以利亚同摩西向他们显现, 并且和耶稣说话.

9:5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
彼得对耶稣说: “拉比(就是夫子), 我们在这里真好! 可以搭三座棚, 一座为你, 一座为摩西, 一座为以利亚. ”

9:6 (For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)
彼得不知道说甚么才好, 因为他们甚是惧怕.

9:7 And a cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
有一朵云彩来遮盖他们; 也有声音从云彩里出来, 说: “这是我的爱子, 你们要听他. ”

9:8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus alone.
门徒忽然周围一看, 不再见一人, 只见耶稣同他们在那里.

9:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one the things that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
下山的时候, 耶稣嘱咐他们说: “人子还没有从死里复活, 你们不要将所看见的告诉人. ”

9:10 And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.
门徒将这话存记在心, 彼此议论“从死里复活”是甚么意思.

9:11 And they asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
他们就问耶稣说: “文士为甚么说以利亚必须先来? ”

9:12 And he said to them, “Elijah indeed does come first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
耶稣说: “以利亚固然先来复兴万事; 经上不是指著人子说, 他要受许多的苦被人轻慢呢?

9:13 But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”
我告诉你们, 以利亚已经来了, 他们也任意待他, 正如经上所指著他的话. ”

9:14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them.
耶稣到了门徒那里, 看见有许多人围着他们, 又有文士和他们辩论.

9:15 And immediately the whole crowd, when they saw him, were amazed, and ran up to him and greeted him.
众人一见耶稣, 都甚希奇, 就跑上去问他的安.

9:16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
耶稣问他们说: “你们和他们辩论的是甚么? ”

9:17 And one individual from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought to you my son who has a spirit that makes him mute.
众人中间有一个人回答说: “夫子, 我带了我的儿子到你这里来, 他被哑巴鬼附着.

9:18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able to do so.
无论在哪里, 鬼捉弄他, 把他摔倒, 他就口中流沫, 咬牙切齿, 身体枯干. 我请过你的门徒把鬼赶出去, 他们却是不能. ”

9:19 And he answered them and said, “O unbelieving generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
耶稣说: “嗳! 不信的世代啊, 我在你们这里要到几时呢? 我忍耐你们要到几时呢? 把他带到我这里来吧. ”

9:20 And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, the spirit immediately convulsed him, and falling on the ground, he began to roll around, foaming at the mouth.
他们就带了他来. 他一见耶稣, 鬼便叫他重重地抽疯, 倒在地上, 翻来覆去, 口中流沫.

9:21 And he asked his father how long it was since this had been happening to him. And he said, “From childhood.
耶稣问他父亲说: “他得这病有多少日子呢? ”回答说: “从小的时候.

9:22 And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, have compassion on us and help us!”
鬼屡次把他扔在火里,水里, 要灭他. 你若能做甚么, 求你怜悯我们, 帮助我们. ”

9:23 But Jesus said to him, “If you are able! All things are possible for the one who believes!”
耶稣对他说: “你若能信, 在信的人, 凡事都能. ”

9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
孩子的父亲立时喊著说(有古卷: 立时流泪地喊著说): “我信! 但我信不足, 求主帮助. ”

9:25 Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!”
耶稣看见众人都跑上来, 就斥责那污鬼, 说: “你这聋哑的鬼, 我吩咐你从他里头出来, 再不要进去! ”

9:26 And it came out, screaming and convulsing him greatly, and he became as if he were dead, so that most of them said, “He has died!”
那鬼喊叫, 使孩子大大地抽了一阵疯, 就出来了. 孩子好像死了一般. 以致众人多半说: “他是死了. ”

9:27 But Jesus took hold of his hand and raised him up, and he stood up.
但耶稣拉着他的手, 扶他起来, 他就站起来了.

9:28 And after he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to expel it?”
耶稣进了屋子, 门徒就暗暗地问他说: “我们为甚么不能赶出他去呢? ”

9:29 And he said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer.”
耶稣说: “非用祷告(有古卷加: 禁食二字), 这一类的鬼总不能出来(或译: 不能赶他出来). ”

9:30 And from there they went out and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,
他们离开那地方, 经过加利利; 耶稣不愿意人知道.

9:31 for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
于是教训门徒, 说: “人子将要被交在人手里, 他们要杀害他; 被杀以后, 过三天他要复活. ”

9:32 But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
门徒却不明白这话, 又不敢问他.

9:33 And they came to Capernaum. And after he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
他们来到迦百农. 耶稣在屋里问门徒说: “你们在路上议论的是甚么? ”

9:34 But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greatest.
门徒不作声, 因为他们在路上彼此争论谁为大.

9:35 And he sat down and called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.”
耶稣坐下, 叫十二个门徒来, 说: “若有人愿意作首先的, 他必作众人末后的, 作众人的用人. ”

9:36 And he took a young child and had him stand among them. And taking him in his arms, he said to them,
于是领过一个小孩子来, 叫他站在门徒中间, 又抱起他来, 对他们说:

9:37 “Whoever welcomes one of the young children such as these in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me.”
“凡为我名接待一个像这小孩子的, 就是接待我; 凡接待我的, 不是接待我, 乃是接待那差我来的. ”

9:38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.”
约翰对耶稣说: “夫子, 我们看见一个人奉你的名赶鬼, 我们就禁止他, 因为他不跟从我们. ”

9:39 But Jesus said, “Do not prevent him, because there is no one who does a miracle in my name and will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me.
耶稣说: “不要禁止他; 因为没有人奉我名行异能, 反倒轻易毁谤我.

9:40 For whoever is not against us is for us.
不敌挡我们的, 就是帮助我们的.

9:41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.
凡因你们是属基督, 给你们一杯水喝的, 我实在告诉你们, 他不能不得赏赐. ”

9:42 “And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it is better for him if instead a large millstone is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea.
“凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的, 倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上, 扔在海里.

9:43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go into hell—into the unquenchable fire!
倘若你一只手叫你跌倒, 就把它砍下来;

9:44
你缺了肢体进入永生, 强如有两只手落到地狱, 入那不灭的火里去.

9:45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life lame than, having two feet, to be thrown into hell!
倘若你一只脚叫你跌倒, 就把它砍下来;

9:46
你瘸腿进入永生, 强如有两只脚被丢在地狱里.

9:47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to be thrown into hell,
倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒, 就去掉它; 你只有一只眼进入神的国, 强如有两只眼被丢在地狱里.

9:48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not extinguished.’
在那里, 虫是不死的, 火是不灭的.

9:49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
因为必用火当盐醃各人. (有古卷加: 凡祭物必用盐醃. )

9:50 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes deprived of its salt content, by what can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
盐本是好的, 若失了味, 可用甚么叫它再咸呢? 你们里头应当有盐, 彼此和睦. ”

Mark - Chapter 10

10:1 And from there he set out and came to the region of Judea and the other side of the Jordan, and again crowds came together to him. And again, as he was accustomed to do, he began to teach them.
耶稣从那里起身, 来到犹太的境界并约旦河外. 众人又聚集到他那里, 他又照常教训他们.

10:2 And they asked him if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife, in order to test him.
有法利赛人来问他说: “人休妻可以不可以? ”意思要试探他.

10:3 And he answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
耶稣回答说: “摩西吩咐你们的是甚么? ”

10:4 So they said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.”
他们说: “摩西许人写了休书便可以休妻. ”

10:5 But Jesus said to them, “He wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
耶稣说: “摩西因为你们的心硬, 所以写这条例给你们;

10:6 But from the beginning of creation ‘he made them male and female.
但从起初创造的时候, 神造人是造男造女.

10:7 Because of this a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife,
因此, 人要离开父母, 与妻子连合, 二人成为一体.

10:8 and the two will become one flesh,’ so that they are no longer two but one flesh.
既然如此, 夫妻不再是两个人, 乃是一体的了.

10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
所以, 神配合的, 人不可分开. ”

10:10 And in the house again the disciples began to ask him about this.
到了屋里, 门徒就问他这事.

10:11 And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
耶稣对他们说: “凡休妻另娶的, 就是犯奸淫, 辜负他的妻子;

10:12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
妻子若离弃丈夫另嫁, 也是犯奸淫了. ”

10:13 And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
有人带着小孩子来见耶稣, 要耶稣摸他们, 门徒便责备那些人.

10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant, and said to them, “Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
耶稣看见就恼怒, 对门徒说: “让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们; 因为在神国的, 正是这样的人.

10:15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
我实在告诉你们, 凡要承受神国的, 若不像小孩子, 断不能进去. ”

10:16 And after taking them into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.
于是抱着小孩子, 给他们按手, 为他们祝福.

10:17 And as he was setting out on his way, one individual ran up and knelt down before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?”
耶稣出来行路的时候, 有一个人跑来, 跪在他面前, 问他说: “良善的夫子, 我当做甚么事才可以承受永生? ”

10:18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
耶稣对他说: “你为甚么称我是良善的? 除了神一位之外, 再没有良善的.

10:19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ ”
诫命你是晓得的: 不可杀人; 不可奸淫; 不可偷盗; 不可作假见证; 不可亏负人; 当孝敬父母. ”

10:20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.”
他对耶稣说: “夫子, 这一切我从小都遵守了. ”

10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all that you have, and give the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
耶稣看着他, 就爱他, 对他说: “你还缺少一件: 去变卖你所有的, 分给穷人, 就必有财宝在天上; 你还要来跟从我. ”

10:22 But he looked gloomy at the statement and went away sorrowful, because he had many possessions.
他听见这话, 脸上就变了色, 忧忧愁愁地走了, 因为他的产业很多.

10:23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!”
耶稣周围一看, 对门徒说: “有钱财的人进神的国是何等地难哪! ”

10:24 And the disciples were astounded at his words. But Jesus answered and said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!
门徒希奇他的话. 耶稣又对他们说: “小子, 倚靠钱财的人进神的国是何等地难哪!

10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”
骆驼穿过针的眼, 比财主进神的国还容易呢. ”

10:26 And they were very astounded, saying to one another, “And who can be saved?”
门徒就分外希奇, 对他说: “这样谁能得救呢? ”

10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With human beings it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
耶稣看着他们, 说: “在人是不能, 在神却不然, 因为神凡事都能. ”

10:28 Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you.”
彼得就对他说: “看哪, 我们已经撇下所有的跟从你了. ”

10:29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields on account of me and on account of the gospel
耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 人为我和福音撇下房屋, 或是弟兄,姊妹,父母,儿女,田地,

10:30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, together with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
没有不在今世得百倍的, 就是房屋,弟兄,姊妹,母亲,儿女,田地, 并且要受逼迫, 在来世必得永生.

10:31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
然而, 有许多在前的, 将要在后, 在后的, 将要在前. ”

10:32 Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following him were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:
他们行路上耶路撒冷去. 耶稣在前头走, 门徒就希奇, 跟从的人也害怕. 耶稣又叫过十二个门徒来, 把自己将要遭遇的事告诉他们说:

10:33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles.
“看哪, 我们上耶路撒冷去, 人子将要被交给祭司长和文士, 他们要定他死罪, 交给外邦人.

10:34 And they will mock him and spit on him and flog him and kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
他们要戏弄他, 吐唾沫在他脸上, 鞭打他, 杀害他. 过了三天, 他要复活. ”

10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.”
西庇太的儿子雅各,约翰进前来, 对耶稣说: “夫子, 我们无论求你甚么, 愿你给我们做. ”

10:36 And he said to them, “What do you want that I do for you?”
耶稣说: “要我给你们做甚么? ”

10:37 So they said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your glory.”
他们说: “赐我们在你的荣耀里, 一个坐在你右边, 一个坐在你左边. ”

10:38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
耶稣说: “你们不知道所求的是甚么, 我所喝的杯, 你们能喝吗? 我所受的洗, 你们能受吗? ”

10:39 And they said to him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,
他们说: “我们能. ”耶稣说: “我所喝的杯, 你们也要喝; 我所受的洗, 你们也要受;

10:40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
只是坐在我的左右, 不是我可以赐的, 乃是为谁预备的, 就赐给谁. ”

10:41 And when they heard this, the ten began to be indignant about James and John.
那十个门徒听见, 就恼怒雅各,约翰.

10:42 And Jesus called them to himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their people in high positions exercise authority over them.
耶稣叫他们来, 对他们说: “你们知道, 外邦人有尊为君王的, 治理他们, 有大臣操权管束他们.

10:43 But it is not like this among you! But whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
只是在你们中间, 不是这样. 你们中间, 谁愿为大, 就必作你们的用人;

10:44 and whoever wants to be most prominent among you must be the slave of all.
在你们中间, 谁愿为首, 就必作众人的仆人.

10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
因为人子来, 并不是要受人的服事, 乃是要服事人, 并且要舍命作多人的赎价. ”

10:46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho along with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.
到了耶利哥; 耶稣同门徒并许多人出耶利哥的时候, 有一个讨饭的瞎子, 是底买的儿子巴底买, 坐在路旁.

10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
他听见是拿撒勒的耶稣, 就喊著说: “大卫的子孙耶稣啊! 可怜我吧! ”

10:48 And many people warned him that he should be quiet. But he was crying out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
有许多人责备他, 不许他作声. 他却越发大声喊著说: “大卫的子孙哪, 可怜我吧! ”

10:49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.”
耶稣就站住, 说: “叫过他来. ”他们就叫那瞎子, 对他说: “放心, 起来! 他叫你啦. ”

10:50 And he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
瞎子就丢下衣服, 跳起来, 走到耶稣那里.

10:51 And Jesus answered him and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may regain my sight.”
耶稣说: “要我为你做甚么? ”瞎子说: “拉波尼(就是夫子), 我要能看见. ”

10:52 And Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow him on the road.
耶稣说: “你去吧! 你的信救了你了. ”瞎子立刻看见了, 就在路上跟随耶稣.

Mark - Chapter 11

11:1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
耶稣和门徒将近耶路撒冷, 到了伯法其和伯大尼, 在橄榄山那里; 耶稣就打发两个门徒,

11:2 and said to them, “Go into the village before you, and right away as you enter into it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.
对他们说: “你们往对面村子里去, 一进去的时候, 必看见一匹驴驹拴在那里, 是从来没有人骑过的, 可以解开, 牵来.

11:3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say ‘The Lord has need of it, and will send it here again at once.’ ”
若有人对你们说: ‘为甚么做这事? ’你们就说: ‘主要用牠. ’那人必立时让你们牵来. ”

11:4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it.
他们去了, 便看见一匹驴驹拴在门外街道上, 就把牠解开.

11:5 And some of those who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
在那里站著的人, 有几个说: “你们解驴驹做甚么? ”

11:6 So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them to take it.
门徒照着耶稣所说的回答, 那些人就任凭他们牵去了.

11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and he sat on it.
他们把驴驹牵到耶稣那里, 把自己的衣服搭在上面, 耶稣就骑上.

11:8 And many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches they had cut from the fields.
有许多人把衣服铺在路上, 也有人把田间的树枝砍下来, 铺在路上.

11:9 And those who went ahead and those who were following were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
前行后随的人都喊著说: 和散那(和散那: 原有求救的意思, 在此乃是称颂的话)! 奉主名来的是应当称颂的!

11:10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
那将要来的我祖大卫之国是应当称颂的! 高高在上和散那!

11:11 And he went into Jerusalem to the temple, and after looking around at everything, because the hour was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
耶稣进了耶路撒冷, 入了圣殿, 周围看了各样物件. 天色已晚, 就和十二个门徒出城, 往伯大尼去了.

11:12 And on the next day as they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry.
第二天, 他们从伯大尼出来, 耶稣饿了.

11:13 And when he saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it. And when he came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
远远地看见一棵无花果树, 树上有叶子, 就往那里去, 或者在树上可以找著甚么. 到了树下, 竟找不著甚么, 不过有叶子, 因为不是收无花果的时候.

11:14 And he responded and said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you any more forever!” And his disciples heard it.
耶稣就对树说: “从今以后, 永没有人吃你的果子. ”他的门徒也听见了.

11:15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple courts, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.
他们来到耶路撒冷. 耶稣进入圣殿, 赶出殿里做买卖的人, 推倒兑换银钱之人的桌子和卖鸽子之人的凳子;

11:16 And he did not permit anyone to carry objects through the temple courts.
也不许人拿着器具从殿里经过;

11:17 And he began to teach and was saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
便教训他们说: “经上不是记着说: 我的殿必称为万国祷告的殿吗? 你们倒使它成为贼窝了. ”

11:18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.
祭司长和文士听见这话, 就想法子要除灭耶稣, 却又怕他, 因为众人都希奇他的教训.

11:19 And when evening came they went out of the city.
每天晚上, 耶稣出城去.

11:20 And as they passed by early in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
早晨, 他们从那里经过, 看见无花果树连根都枯干了.

11:21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
彼得想起耶稣的话来, 就对他说: “拉比, 请看! 你所咒诅的无花果树已经枯干了. ”

11:22 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God!
耶稣回答说: “你们当信服神.

11:23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
我实在告诉你们, 无论何人对这座山说: ‘你挪开此地, 投在海里! ’他若心里不疑惑, 只信他所说的必成, 就必给他成了.

11:24 For this reason I say to you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be done for you.
所以我告诉你们, 凡你们祷告祈求的, 无论是甚么, 只要信是得着的, 就必得着.

11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your sins.”
你们站着祷告的时候, 若想起有人得罪你们, 就当饶恕他, 好叫你们在天上的父也饶恕你们的过犯.

11:26
你们若不饶恕人, 你们在天上的父也不饶恕你们的过犯. (有古卷无此节)”

11:27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came up to him
他们又来到耶路撒冷. 耶稣在殿里行走的时候, 祭司长和文士并长老进前来,

11:28 and said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority that you do these things?”
问他说: “你仗着甚么权柄做这些事? 给你这权柄的是谁呢? ”

11:29 So Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
耶稣对他们说: “我要问你们一句话, 你们回答我, 我就告诉你们我仗着甚么权柄做这些事.

11:30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer me!”
约翰的洗礼是从天上来的? 是从人间来的呢? 你们可以回答我. ”

11:31 And they began to discuss this with one another, saying, “What should we say? If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
他们彼此商议说: “我们若说‘从天上来’, 他必说: ‘这样, 你们为甚么不信他呢? ’

11:32 But if we say, ‘From men’ ”—they were afraid of the crowd, because they all looked upon John as truly a prophet.
若说‘从人间来’, 却又怕百姓, 因为众人真以约翰为先知. ”

11:33 And they replied to Jesus saying, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
于是回答耶稣说: “我们不知道. ”耶稣说: “我也不告诉你们我仗着甚么权柄做这些事. ”

Mark - Chapter 12

12:1 And he began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence around it, and dug a trough for the winepress, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
耶稣就用比喻对他们说: “有人栽了一个葡萄园, 周围圈上篱笆, 挖了一个压酒池, 盖了一座楼, 租给园户, 就往外国去了.

12:2 And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect some of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers.
到了时候, 打发一个仆人到园户那里, 要从园户收葡萄园的果子.

12:3 And they seized him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
园户拿住他, 打了他, 叫他空手回去.

12:4 And again he sent to them another slave, and that one they struck on the head and dishonored.
再打发一个仆人到他们那里. 他们打伤他的头, 并且凌辱他.

12:5 And he sent another, and that one they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they beat and some of whom they killed.
又打发一个仆人去, 他们就杀了他. 后又打发好些仆人去, 有被他们打的, 有被他们杀的.

12:6 He had one more, a beloved son. Last of all he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
园主还有一位是他的爱子, 末后又打发他去, 意思说: ‘他们必尊敬我的儿子. ’

12:7 But those tenant farmers said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours!’
不料, 那些园户彼此说: ‘这是承受产业的. 来吧, 我们杀他, 产业就归我们了! ’

12:8 And they seized and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
于是拿住他, 杀了他, 把他丢在园外.

12:9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others.
这样, 葡萄园的主人要怎么办呢? 他要来除灭那些园户, 将葡萄园转给别人.

12:10 Have you not read this scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone.
经上写着说: 匠人所弃的石头, 已作了房角的头块石头.

12:11 This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
这是主所做的, 在我们眼中看为希奇. 这经你们没有念过吗? ”

12:12 And they were seeking to arrest him, and they were afraid of the crowd, because they knew that he had told the parable with reference to them. And they left him and went away.
他们看出这比喻是指著他们说的, 就想要捉拿他, 只是惧怕百姓, 于是离开他走了.

12:13 And they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him so that they could catch him unawares in a statement.
后来, 他们打发几个法利赛人和几个希律党的人到耶稣那里, 要就着他的话陷害他.

12:14 And when they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and you do not care what anyone thinks, because you do not regard the opinion of people but teach the way of God in truth. Is it permitted to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or should we not pay?”
他们来了, 就对他说: “夫子, 我们知道你是诚实的, 甚么人你都不徇情面; 因为你不看人的外貌, 乃是诚诚实实传神的道. 纳税给凯撒可以不可以?

12:15 But because he knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at it!”
我们该纳不该纳? ”耶稣知道他们的假意, 就对他们说: “你们为甚么试探我? 拿一个银钱来给我看! ”

12:16 So they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” And they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
他们就拿了来. 耶稣说: “这像和这号是谁的? ”他们说: “是凯撒的. ”

12:17 And Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!” And they were utterly amazed at him.
耶稣说: “凯撒的物当归给凯撒, 神的物当归给神. ”他们就很希奇他.

12:18 And Sadducees—who say there is no resurrection—came up to him and began to ask him, saying,
撒都该人常说没有复活的事. 他们来问耶稣说:

12:19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if someone’s brother dies and he leaves behind a wife and does not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for his brother.
“夫子, 摩西为我们写着说: ‘人若死了, 撇下妻子, 没有孩子, 他兄弟当娶他的妻, 为哥哥生子立后. ’

12:20 There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And when he died, he did not leave descendants.
有弟兄七人, 第一个娶了妻, 死了, 没有留下孩子.

12:21 And the second took her, and he died without leaving descendants. And the third likewise.
第二个娶了她, 也死了, 没有留下孩子. 第三个也是这样.

12:22 And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died.
那七个人都没有留下孩子; 末了, 那妇人也死了.

12:23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.
当复活的时候, 她是哪一个的妻子呢? 因为他们七个人都娶过她. ”

12:24 Jesus said to them, “Are you not deceived because of this, because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God?
耶稣说: “你们所以错了, 岂不是因为不明白圣经, 不晓得神的大能吗?

12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
人从死里复活, 也不娶也不嫁, 乃像天上的使者一样.

12:26 Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses in the passage about the bush how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?
论到死人复活, 你们没有念过摩西的书荆棘篇上所载的吗? 神对摩西说: ‘我是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神. ’

12:27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are very much mistaken!”
神不是死人的神, 乃是活人的神. 你们是大错了. ”

12:28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them debating. When he saw that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
有一个文士来, 听见他们辩论, 晓得耶稣回答的好, 就问他说: “诫命中哪是第一要紧的呢? ”

12:29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
耶稣回答说: “第一要紧的就是说: ‘以色列啊, 你要听, 主─我们神是独一的主.

12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.’
你要尽心,尽性,尽意,尽力爱主─你的神. ’

12:31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
其次就是说: ‘要爱人如己. ’再没有比这两条诫命更大的了. ”

12:32 And the scribe said to him, “That is true, Teacher. You have said correctly that he is one and there is no other except him.
那文士对耶稣说: “夫子说, 神是一位, 实在不错; 除了他以外, 再没有别的神;

12:33 And to love him from your whole heart and from your whole understanding and from your whole strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
并且尽心,尽智,尽力爱他, 又爱人如己, 就比一切燔祭和各样祭祀好的多. ”

12:34 And Jesus, when he saw that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to put a question to him any longer.
耶稣见他回答的有智慧, 就对他说: “你离神的国不远了. ”从此以后, 没有人敢再问他甚么.

12:35 And continuing, Jesus said while teaching in the temple courts, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is David’s son?
耶稣在殿里教训人, 就问他们说: “文士怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢?

12:36 David himself said by the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’
大卫被圣灵感动, 说: 主对我主说, 你坐在我的右边, 等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳.

12:37 David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.
大卫既自己称他为主, 他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢? ”众人都喜欢听他.

12:38 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and greetings in the marketplaces
耶稣在教训之间, 说: “你们要防备文士; 他们好穿长衣游行, 喜爱人在街市上问他们的安,

12:39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,
又喜爱会堂里的高位, 筵席上的首座.

12:40 who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”
他们侵吞寡妇的家产, 假意作很长的祷告. 这些人要受更重的刑罚! ”

12:41 And he sat down opposite the contribution box and was observing how the crowd was putting coins into the contribution box. And many rich people were putting in many coins.
耶稣对银库坐着, 看众人怎样投钱入库. 有好些财主往里投了若干的钱.

12:42 And one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins (that is, a penny).
有一个穷寡妇来, 往里投了两个小钱, 就是一个大钱.

12:43 And summoning his disciples, he said to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all those who put offerings into the contribution box.
耶稣叫门徒来, 说: “我实在告诉你们, 这穷寡妇投入库里的, 比众人所投的更多.

12:44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in everything she had, her whole means of subsistence.”
因为, 他们都是自己有余, 拿出来投在里头; 但这寡妇是自己不足, 把她一切养生的都投上了. ”

Mark - Chapter 13

13:1 And as he was going out of the temple courts, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look! What great stones and what wonderful buildings!”
耶稣从殿里出来的时候, 有一个门徒对他说: “夫子, 请看, 这是何等的石头! 何等的殿宇! ”

13:2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
耶稣对他说: “你看见这大殿宇吗? 将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上, 不被拆毁了. ”

13:3 And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
耶稣在橄榄山上对圣殿而坐, 彼得,雅各,约翰, 和安得烈暗暗地问他说:

13:4 “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”
“请告诉我们, 甚么时候有这些事呢? 这一切事将成的时候有甚么预兆呢? ”

13:5 So Jesus began to say to them, “Watch out that no one deceives you!
耶稣说: “你们要谨慎, 免得有人迷惑你们.

13:6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and they will deceive many.
将来有好些人冒我的名来, 说: ‘我是基督’, 并且要迷惑许多人.

13:7 And when you hear about wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must happen, but the end is not yet.
你们听见打仗和打仗的风声, 不要惊慌. 这些事是必须有的, 只是末期还没有到.

13:8 For nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines. These things are the beginning of birth pains.
民要攻打民, 国要攻打国; 多处必有地震,饥荒. 这都是灾难(灾难: 原文是生产之难)的起头.

13:9 “But you, watch out for yourselves! They will hand you over to councils and you will be beaten in the synagogues and will have to stand before governors and kings because of me, for a witness to them.
但你们要谨慎; 因为人要把你们交给公会, 并且你们在会堂里要受鞭打, 又为我的缘故站在诸侯与君王面前, 对他们作见证.

13:10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.
然而, 福音必须先传给万民.

13:11 And when they arrest you and hand you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you should say, but whatever is given to you at that hour, say this. For you are not the ones who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
人把你们拉去交官的时候, 不要预先思虑说甚么; 到那时候, 赐给你们甚么话, 你们就说甚么; 因为说话的不是你们, 乃是圣灵.

13:12 And brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
弟兄要把弟兄, 父亲要把儿子, 送到死地; 儿女要起来与父母为敌, 害死他们;

13:13 And you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end—this one will be saved.
并且你们要为我的名被众人恨恶. 惟有忍耐到底的, 必然得救. ”

13:14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be” (let the one who reads understand), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!
“你们看见那行毁坏可憎的, 站在不当站的地方(读这经的人须要会意). 那时, 在犹太的, 应当逃到山上;

13:15 The one who is on his housetop must not come down or go inside to take anything out of his house,
在房上的, 不要下来, 也不要进去拿家里的东西;

13:16 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to pick up his cloak.
在田里的, 也不要回去取衣裳.

13:17 And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days!
当那些日子, 怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了!

13:18 But pray that it will not happen in winter.
你们应当祈求, 叫这些事不在冬天临到.

13:19 For in those days there will be tribulation of such a kind as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will happen.
因为在那些日子必有灾难, 自从神创造万物直到如今, 并没有这样的灾难, 后来也必没有.

13:20 And if the Lord had not shortened the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he has shortened the days.
若不是主减少那日子, 凡有血气的, 总没有一个得救的; 只是为主的选民, 他将那日子减少了.

13:21 “And at that time if anyone should say to you, “Behold, here is the Christ,’ ‘Behold, there he is,’ do not believe him!
那时若有人对你们说: ‘看哪, 基督在这里’, 或说: ‘基督在那里’, 你们不要信!

13:22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce signs and wonders in order to mislead, if possible, the elect.
因为假基督,假先知将要起来, 显神蹟奇事, 倘若能行, 就把选民迷惑了.

13:23 But you, watch out! I have told you everything ahead of time!
你们要谨慎. 看哪, 凡事我都预先告诉你们了. ”

13:24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, ‘the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light,
“在那些日子, 那灾难以后, 日头要变黑了, 月亮也不放光,

13:25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.’
众星要从天上坠落, 天势都要震动.

13:26 And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.
那时, 他们(马太二十四章三十节是地上的万族)要看见人子有大能力,大荣耀, 驾云降临.

13:27 And then he will send out the angels, and will gather the elect together from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of heaven.
他要差遣天使, 把他的选民, 从四方(方: 原文是风), 从地极直到天边, 都招聚了来. ”

13:28 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.
“你们可以从无花果树学个比方: 当树枝发嫩长叶的时候, 你们就知道夏天近了.

13:29 So also you, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, at the door.
这样, 你们几时看见这些事成就, 也该知道人子(人子: 或译神的国)近了, 正在门口了.

13:30 Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all these things take place!
我实在告诉你们, 这世代还没有过去, 这些事都要成就.

13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
天地要废去, 我的话却不能废去. ”

13:32 “But concerning that day or hour no one knows—not even the angels in heaven nor the Son—except the Father.
“但那日子, 那时辰, 没有人知道, 连天上的使者也不知道, 子也不知道, 惟有父知道.

13:33 Watch out! Be alert, because you do not know when the time is!
你们要谨慎, 警醒祈祷, 因为你们不晓得那日期几时来到.

13:34 It is like a man away on a journey, who left his house and gave his slaves authority—to each one his work—and to the doorkeeper he gave orders that he should be on the alert.
这事正如一个人离开本家, 寄居外邦, 把权柄交给仆人, 分派各人当做的工, 又吩咐看门的警醒.

13:35 Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or early in the morning—
所以, 你们要警醒; 因为你们不知道家主甚么时候来, 或晚上, 或半夜, 或鸡叫, 或早晨;

13:36 lest he arrive suddenly and find you sleeping.
恐怕他忽然来到, 看见你们睡着了.

13:37 And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be on the alert!”
我对你们所说的话, 也是对众人说: 要警醒! ”

Mark - Chapter 14

14:1 Now after two days it was the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, after arresting him by stealth, they could kill him.
过两天是逾越节, 又是除酵节, 祭司长和文士想法子怎么用诡计捉拿耶稣, 杀他.

只是说: “当节的日子不可, 恐怕百姓生乱. ”

14:3 And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining for a meal, a woman came holding an alabaster flask of very costly perfumed oil of genuine nard. After breaking the alabaster flask, she poured it out on his head.
耶稣在伯大尼长大痲疯的西门家里坐席的时候, 有一个女人拿着一玉瓶至贵的真哪哒香膏来, 打破玉瓶, 把膏浇在耶稣的头上.

有几个人心中很不喜悦, 说: “何用这样枉费香膏呢?

14:5 For this perfumed oil could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor!” And they began to scold her.
这香膏可以卖三十多两银子赒济穷人. ”他们就向那女人生气.

14:6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you cause trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me.
耶稣说: “由她吧! 为甚么难为她呢? 她在我身上做的是一件美事.

14:7 For the poor you always have with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want, but you do not always have me.
因为常有穷人和你们同在, 要向他们行善随时都可以; 只是你们不常有我.

14:8 She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial.
她所做的, 是尽她所能的; 她是为我安葬的事把香膏预先浇在我身上.

14:9 And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.
我实在告诉你们, 普天之下, 无论在甚么地方传这福音, 也要述说这女人所做的, 以为记念. ”

14:10 And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them.

除酵节的第一天, 就是宰逾越羊羔的那一天, 门徒对耶稣说: “你吃逾越节的筵席要我们往哪里去预备呢? ”

14:13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,
耶稣就打发两个门徒, 对他们说: “你们进城去, 必有人拿着一瓶水迎面而来, 你们就跟着他.

14:21 For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”
人子必要去世, 正如经上指著他所写的; 但卖人子的人有祸了! 那人不生在世上倒好. ”

14:22 And while they were eating, he took bread and, after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them and said, “Take it, this is my body.”
他们吃的时候, 耶稣拿起饼来, 祝了福, 就擘开, 递给他们, 说: “你们拿着吃, 这是我的身体”;

14:27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.’
耶稣对他们说: “你们都要跌倒了, 因为经上记着说: 我要击打牧人, 羊就分散了.

14:28 But after I am raised, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
但我复活以后, 要在你们以先往加利利去. ”

14:29 But Peter said to him, “Even if they all fall away, certainly I will not!”
彼得说: “众人虽然跌倒, 我总不能. ”

14:30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that today—this night—before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times!”
耶稣对他说: “我实在告诉你, 就在今天夜里, 鸡叫两遍以先, 你要三次不认我. ”

14:31 But he kept saying emphatically, “If it is necessary for me to die with you, I will never deny you!” And they all were saying the same thing also.
彼得却极力地说: “我就是必须和你同死, 也总不能不认你. ”众门徒都是这样说.

14:32 And they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
他们来到一个地方, 名叫客西马尼. 耶稣对门徒说: “你们坐在这里, 等我祷告. ”

14:35 And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to pray that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from him.
他就稍往前走, 俯伏在地, 祷告说: “倘若可行, 便叫那时候过去. ”

14:36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you! Take away this cup from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
他说: “阿爸! 父啊! 在你凡事都能; 求你将这杯撤去. 然而, 不要从我的意思, 只要从你的意思. ”

14:37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to stay awake one hour?
耶稣回来, 见他们睡着了, 就对彼得说: “西门, 你睡觉吗? 不能警醒片时吗?

14:38 Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!”
总要警醒祷告, 免得入了迷惑. 你们心灵固然愿意, 肉体却软弱了. ”

14:39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
耶稣又去祷告, 说的话还是与先前一样,

14:40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to reply to him.
又来见他们睡着了, 因为他们的眼睛甚是困倦; 他们也不知道怎么回答.

14:41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
第三次来, 对他们说: “现在你们仍然睡觉安歇吧(吧: 或译吗? )! 够了, 时候到了. 看哪, 人子被卖在罪人手里了.

14:42 Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
起来! 我们走吧. 看哪, 那卖我的人近了! ”

14:43 And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
说话之间, 忽然那十二个门徒里的犹大来了, 并有许多人带着刀棒, 从祭司长和文士并长老那里与他同来.

14:44 Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one. Arrest him and lead him away under guard!”
卖耶稣的人曾给他们一个暗号, 说: “我与谁亲嘴, 谁就是他. 你们把他拿住, 牢牢靠靠地带去. ”

14:45 And when he arrived, he came up to him immediately and said, “Rabbi,” and kissed him.
犹大来了, 随即到耶稣跟前, 说: “拉比”, 便与他亲嘴.

14:46 So they laid hands on him and arrested him.
他们就下手拿住他.

14:47 But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing his sword, struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
旁边站着的人, 有一个拔出刀来, 将大祭司的仆人砍了一刀, 削掉了他一个耳朵.

14:48 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me?
耶稣对他们说: “你们带着刀棒出来拿我, 如同拿强盗吗?

14:49 Every day I was with you in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me! But this has happened in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled.
我天天教训人, 同你们在殿里, 你们并没有拿我. 但这事成就, 为要应验经上的话. ”

14:50 And they all abandoned him and fled.
门徒都离开他, 逃走了.

14:51 And a certain young man was following him, clothed only in a linen cloth on his naked body. And they attempted to seize him,

14:52 but he left behind the linen cloth and fled naked.

14:53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.
他们把耶稣带到大祭司那里, 又有众祭司长和长老并文士都来和大祭司一同聚集.

14:54 And Peter followed him from a distance, right inside, into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the officers and warming himself by the fire.
彼得远远地跟着耶稣, 一直进入大祭司的院里, 和差役一同坐在火光里烤火.

14:55 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find it.
祭司长和全公会寻找见证控告耶稣, 要治死他, 却寻不著.

14:56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony was not consistent.

14:57 And some stood up and began to give false testimony against him, saying,
又有几个人站起来作假见证告他, 说:

14:58 “We heard him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple made by hands, and within three days I will build another not made by hands.”
“我们听见他说: ‘我要拆毁这人手所造的殿, 三日内就另造一座不是人手所造的. ’”

14:59 And their testimony was not even consistent about this.
他们就是这么作见证, 也是各不相合.

14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst of them and asked Jesus, saying, “Do you not reply anything? What are these people testifying against you?”
大祭司起来站在中间, 问耶稣说: “你甚么都不回答吗? 这些人作见证告你的是甚么呢? ”

14:61 But he was silent and did not reply anything. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
耶稣却不言语, 一句也不回答. 大祭司又问他说: “你是那当称颂者的儿子基督不是? ”

14:62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
耶稣说: “我是. 你们必看见人子坐在那权能者的右边, 驾着天上的云降临. ”

14:63 And the high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?
大祭司就撕开衣服, 说: “我们何必再用见证人呢?

14:64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” And they all condemned him as deserving death.
你们已经听见他这僭妄的话了. 你们的意见如何? ”他们都定他该死的罪.

14:65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him with their fists, and to say to him “Prophesy!” And the officers received him with slaps in the face.
就有人吐唾沫在他脸上, 又蒙着他的脸, 用拳头打他, 对他说: “你说预言吧! ”差役接过他来, 用手掌打他.

14:66 And while Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the female slaves of the high priest came up
彼得在下边院子里; 来了大祭司的一个使女,

14:67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked intently at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.”
见彼得烤火, 就看着他, 说: “你素来也是同拿撒勒人耶稣一伙的. ”

14:68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean!” And he went out into the gateway, and a rooster crowed.
彼得却不承认, 说: “我不知道, 也不明白你说的是甚么. ”于是出来, 到了前院, 鸡就叫了.

14:69 And the female slave, when she saw him, began to say again to the bystanders, “This man is one of them!”
那使女看见他, 又对旁边站着的人说: “这也是他们一党的. ”

14:70 But he denied it again. And after a little while, again the bystanders began to say to Peter, “You really are one of them, because you also are a Galilean, and your accent shows it!”
彼得又不承认. 过了不多的时候, 旁边站着的人又对彼得说: “你真是他们一党的! 因为你是加利利人. ”

14:71 And he began to curse and to swear with an oath, “I do not know this man whom you are talking about!”
彼得就发咒起誓地说: “我不认得你们说的这个人. ”

14:72 And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the statement, how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times,” and throwing himself down, he began to weep.
立时鸡叫了第二遍. 彼得想起耶稣对他所说的话: “鸡叫两遍以先, 你要三次不认我. ”思想起来, 就哭了.

And they said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. 〚So they promptly reported all the things they had been commanded to those around Peter. And after these things, Jesus himself also sent out through them from the east even as far as the west the holy and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.〛 〚

Luke (路加福音)

Luke - Chapter 1

1:1 Since many have attempted to compile an account concerning the events that have been fulfilled among us,
提阿非罗大人哪, 有好些人提笔作书, 述说在我们中间所成就的事, 是照传道的人从起初亲眼看见又传给我们的.

1:2 just as those who were eyewitnesses and servants of the word from the beginning passed on to us,
a

1:3 it seemed best to me also—because I have followed all things carefully from the beginning—to write them down in orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus,
这些事我既从起头都详细考察了, 就定意要按著次序写给你,

1:4 so that you may know the certainty concerning the things about which you were taught.
使你知道所学之道都是确实的.

1:5 It happened that in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, Zechariah by name, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
当犹太王希律的时候, 亚比雅班里有一个祭司, 名叫撒迦利亚; 他妻子是亚伦的后人, 名叫伊利莎白.

1:6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, living blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
他们二人在神面前都是义人, 遵行主的一切诫命礼仪, 没有可指摘的,

1:7 And they did not have a child, because Elizabeth was barren. And they were both advanced in years.
只是没有孩子; 因为伊利莎白不生育, 两个人又年纪老迈了.

1:8 And it happened that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,
撒迦利亚按班次在神面前供祭司的职分,

1:9 according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
照祭司的规矩掣签, 得进主殿烧香.

1:10 And the whole crowd of the people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.
烧香的时候, 众百姓在外面祷告.

1:11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
有主的使者站在香坛的右边, 向他显现.

1:12 And Zechariah was terrified when he saw the angel, and fear fell upon him.

你必欢喜快乐; 有许多人因他出世, 也必喜乐.

1:17 And he will go on before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to prepare for the Lord a people made ready.”
他必有以利亚的心志能力, 行在主的前面, 叫为父的心转向儿女, 叫悖逆的人转从义人的智慧, 又为主预备合用的百姓. ”

1:18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “By what will I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years!”
撒迦利亚对天使说: “我凭著甚么可知道这事呢? 我已经老了, 我的妻子也年纪老迈了. ”

1:19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to announce to you this good news.
天使回答说: “我是站在神面前的加百列, 奉差而来对你说话, 将这好信息报给你.

1:20 And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
到了时候, 这话必然应验; 只因你不信, 你必哑巴, 不能说话, 直到这事成就的日子. ”

1:21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and began to wonder when he was delayed in the temple.
百姓等候撒迦利亚, 诧异他许久在殿里.

1:22 And when he came out he was not able to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them, and remained unable to speak.
及至他出来, 不能和他们说话, 他们就知道他在殿里见了异象; 因为他直向他们打手式, 竟成了哑巴.

到一个童女那里, 是已经许配大卫家的一个人, 名叫约瑟. 童女的名字叫马利亚;

1:28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”
天使进去, 对她说: “蒙大恩的女子, 我问你安, 主和你同在了! ”

1:29 But she was greatly perplexed at the statement, and was pondering what sort of greeting this might be.
马利亚因这话就很惊慌, 又反复思想这样问安是甚么意思.

1:30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
天使对她说: “马利亚, 不要怕! 你在神面前已经蒙恩了.

1:31 And behold, you will conceive in the womb and will give birth to a son, and you will call his name Jesus.

1:32 This one will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.

他要作雅各家的王, 直到永远; 他的国也没有穷尽. ”

1:34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man?”
马利亚对天使说: “我没有出嫁, 怎么有这事呢? ”

1:35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the one to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
天使回答说: “圣灵要临到你身上, 至高者的能力要荫庇你, 因此所要生的圣者必称为神的儿子(或译: 所要生的, 必称为圣, 称为神的儿子).

1:36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth—she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.
况且你的亲戚伊利莎白, 在年老的时候也怀了男胎, 就是那素来称为不生育的, 现在有孕六个月了.

1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”

1:38 So Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s female slave! May it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
马利亚说: “我是主的使女, 情愿照你的话成就在我身上. ”天使就离开她去了.

1:42 And she cried out with a loud shout and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
高声喊著说: “你在妇女中是有福的! 你所怀的胎也是有福的!

1:43 And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

1:44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy!

1:45 And blessed is she who believed that there will be a fulfillment to what was spoken to her from the Lord!”

1:46 And Mary said, “My soul exalts the Lord,

1:48 because he has looked upon the humble state of his female slave, for behold, from now on all generations will consider me blessed,

1:54 He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,

1:55 just as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
为要记念亚伯拉罕和他的后裔, 施怜悯直到永远, 正如从前对我们列祖所说的话.

1:56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her home.
马利亚和伊利莎白同住, 约有三个月, 就回家去了.

1:57 Now the time came for Elizabeth that she should give birth, and she gave birth to a son.

1:75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

2:9 And an angel of the Lord stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terribly frightened.
有主的使者站在他们旁边, 主的荣光四面照着他们; 牧羊的人就甚惧怕.

那天使对他们说: “不要惧怕! 我报给你们大喜的信息, 是关乎万民的;

2:11 that today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.

2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!”
在至高之处荣耀归与神! 在地上平安归与他所喜悦的人(有古卷: 喜悦归与人)!

众天使离开他们, 升天去了. 牧羊的人彼此说: “我们往伯利恒去, 看看所成的事, 就是主所指示我们的. ”

满了八天, 就给孩子行割礼, 与他起名叫耶稣; 这就是没有成胎以前, 天使所起的名.

(正如主的律法上所记: “凡头生的男子必称圣归主. ”)

2:24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what was stated in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
又要照主的律法上所说, 或用一对斑鸠, 或用两只雏鸽献祭.

2:33 And his father and mother were astonished at what was said about him.
孩子的父母因这论耶稣的话就希奇.

2:34 And Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed—
西面给他们祝福, 又对孩子的母亲马利亚说: “这孩子被立, 是要叫以色列中许多人跌倒, 许多人兴起; 又要作毁谤的话柄, 叫许多人心里的意念显露出来; 你自己的心也要被刀刺透. ”

2:35 and a sword will pierce your own soul also, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed!”

他父母看见就很希奇. 他母亲对他说: “我儿! 为甚么向我们这样行呢? 看哪, 你父亲和我伤心来找你! ”

Luke - Chapter 3

3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
凯撒提庇留在位第十五年, 本丢•彼拉多作犹太巡抚, 希律作加利利分封的王, 他兄弟腓力作以土利亚和特拉可尼地方分封的王, 吕撒聂作亚比利尼分封的王,

3:2 in the time of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
亚那和该亚法作大祭司. 那时, 撒迦利亚的儿子约翰在旷野里, 神的话临到他.

3:3 And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
他就来到约旦河一带地方, 宣讲悔改的洗礼, 使罪得赦.

3:4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!
正如先知以赛亚书上所记的话, 说: 在旷野有人声喊著说: 预备主的道, 修直他的路!

3:5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled, and the crooked will become straight, and the rough road will become smooth,
一切山洼都要填满; 大小山冈都要削平! 弯弯曲曲的地方要改为正直; 高高低低的道路要改为平坦!

3:6 and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’ ”
凡有血气的, 都要见神的救恩!

3:7 Therefore he was saying to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
约翰对那出来要受他洗的众人说: “毒蛇的种类! 谁指示你们逃避将来的忿怒呢?

3:8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
你们要结出果子来, 与悔改的心相称. 不要自己心里说: ‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗. ’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中, 给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来.

3:9 And even now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
现在斧子已经放在树根上, 凡不结好果子的树就砍下来, 丢在火里. ”

3:10 And the crowds were asking him, saying, “What then should we do?”
众人问他说: “这样, 我们当做甚么呢? ”

3:11 And he answered and said to them, “The one who has two tunics must share with the one who does not have one, and the one who has food must do likewise.”
约翰回答说: “有两件衣裳的, 就分给那没有的; 有食物的, 也当这样行. ”

3:12 And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
又有税吏来要受洗, 问他说: “夫子, 我们当做甚么呢? ”

3:13 And he said to them, “Collect no more than what you are ordered to.”
约翰说: “除了例定的数目, 不要多取. ”

3:14 And those who served in the army were also asking him, saying, “What should we also do?” And he said to them, “Extort from no one, and do not blackmail anyone, and be content with your pay.”
又有兵丁问他说: “我们当做甚么呢? ”约翰说: “不要以强暴待人, 也不要讹诈人, 自己有钱粮就当知足. ”

3:15 And while the people were waiting expectantly and all were pondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he might be the Christ,
百姓指望基督来的时候, 人都心里猜疑, 或者约翰是基督.

3:16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but the one who is more powerful than I am is coming, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
约翰说: “我是用水给你们施洗, 但有一位能力比我更大的要来, 我就是给他解鞋带也不配. 他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗.

3:17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand, to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
他手里拿着簸箕, 要扬净他的场, 把麦子收在仓里, 把糠用不灭的火烧尽了. ”

3:18 So with many other exhortations also he proclaimed good news to the people.
约翰又用许多别的话劝百姓, 向他们传福音.

3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evil deeds that Herod had done,
只是分封的王希律, 因他兄弟之妻希罗底的缘故, 并因他所行的一切恶事, 受了约翰的责备;

3:20 added this also to them all: he also locked up John in prison.
又另外添了一件, 就是把约翰收在监里.

3:21 Now it happened that when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he was praying, heaven was opened,
众百姓都受了洗, 耶稣也受了洗. 正祷告的时候, 天就开了,

3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
圣灵降临在他身上, 形状仿佛鸽子; 又有声音从天上来, 说: “你是我的爱子, 我喜悦你. ”

Luke - Chapter 4

4:1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
耶稣被圣灵充满, 从约旦河回来, 圣灵将他引到旷野, 四十天受魔鬼的试探.

4:2 forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed, he was hungry.
那些日子没有吃甚么; 日子满了, 他就饿了.

4:3 So the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order this stone that it become bread!”
魔鬼对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 可以吩咐这块石头变成食物. ”

4:4 And Jesus replied to him, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone.’ ”
耶稣回答说: “经上记着说: ‘人活着不是单靠食物, 乃是靠神口里所出的一切话. ’”

4:5 And he led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
魔鬼又领他上了高山, 霎时间把天下的万国都指给他看,

4:6 And the devil said to him, “I will give you all this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want.
对他说: “这一切权柄,荣华, 我都要给你, 因为这原是交付我的, 我愿意给谁就给谁.

4:7 So if you will worship before me, all this will be yours.”
你若在我面前下拜, 这都要归你. ”

4:8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’ ”
耶稣说: “经上记着说: 当拜主─你的神, 单要事奉他. ”

4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and had him stand on the highest point of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
魔鬼又领他到耶路撒冷去, 叫他站在殿顶(顶: 原文是翅)上, 对他说: “你若是神的儿子, 可以从这里跳下去;

4:10 for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,’
因为经上记着说: 主要为你吩咐他的使者保护你;

4:11 and ‘on their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
他们要用手托著你, 免得你的脚碰在石头上. ”

4:12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘You are not to put to the test the Lord your God.’ ”
耶稣对他说: “经上说: ‘不可试探主─你的神. ’”

4:13 And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a favorable time.
魔鬼用完了各样的试探, 就暂时离开耶稣.

4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news about him went out throughout all the surrounding region.
耶稣满有圣灵的能力, 回到加利利; 他的名声就传遍了四方.

4:15 And he began to teach in their synagogues, and was praised by all.
他在各会堂里教训人, 众人都称赞他.

4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and according to his custom he entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath and stood up to read.
耶稣来到拿撒勒, 就是他长大的地方. 在安息日, 照他平常的规矩进了会堂, 站起来要念圣经.

4:17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him, and unrolling the scroll he found the place where it was written,
有人把先知以赛亚的书交给他, 他就打开, 找到一处写着说:

4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because of which he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send out in freedom those who are oppressed,
主的灵在我身上, 因为他用膏膏我, 叫我传福音给贫穷的人; 差遣我报告: 被掳的得释放, 瞎眼的得看见, 叫那受压制的得自由,

4:19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
报告神悦纳人的禧年.

4:20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were looking intently at him.
于是把书卷起来, 交还执事, 就坐下. 会堂里的人都定睛看他.

4:21 And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
耶稣对他们说: “今天这经应验在你们耳中了. ”

4:22 And they were all speaking well of him, and were astonished at the gracious words that were coming out of his mouth. And they were saying, “Is this man not the son of Joseph?”
众人都称赞他, 并希奇他口中所出的恩言; 又说: “这不是约瑟的儿子吗? ”

4:23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ Whatever we have heard that took place in Capernaum, do here in your hometown also!”
耶稣对他们说: “你们必引这俗语向我说: ‘医生, 你医治自己吧! 我们听见你在迦百农所行的事, 也当行在你自己家乡里’”;

4:24 And he said, “Truly I say to you that no prophet is acceptable in his own hometown.
又说: “我实在告诉你们, 没有先知在自己家乡被人悦纳的.

4:25 But in truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three years and six months while a great famine took place over all the land.
我对你们说实话, 当以利亚的时候, 天闭塞了三年零六个月, 遍地有大饥荒, 那时, 以色列中有许多寡妇,

4:26 And Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
以利亚并没有奉差往她们一个人那里去, 只奉差往西顿的撒勒法一个寡妇那里去.

4:27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was made clean except Naaman the Syrian.”
先知以利沙的时候, 以色列中有许多长大痲疯的, 但内中除了叙利亚国的乃缦, 没有一个得洁净的. ”

4:28 And all those in the synagogue were filled with anger when they heard these things.
会堂里的人听见这话, 都怒气满胸,

4:29 And they stood up and forced him out of the town and brought him up to the edge of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.
就起来撵他出城(他们的城造在山上); 他们带他到山崖, 要把他推下去.

4:30 But he passed through their midst and went on his way.
他却从他们中间直行, 过去了.

4:31 And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath.
耶稣下到迦百农, 就是加利利的一座城, 在安息日教训众人.

4:32 And they were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.
他们很希奇他的教训, 因为他的话里有权柄.

4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
在会堂里有一个人, 被污鬼的精气附着, 大声喊叫说:

4:34 “Ha! Leave us alone, Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
“唉! 拿撒勒的耶稣, 我们与你有甚么相干? 你来灭我们吗? 我知道你是谁, 乃是神的圣者. ”

4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And after throwing him down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him at all.
耶稣责备他说: “不要作声, 从这人身上出来吧! ”鬼把那人摔倒在众人中间, 就出来了, 却也没有害他.

4:36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began to talk with one another, saying, “What word is this? For he commands the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out!”
众人都惊讶, 彼此对问说: “这是甚么道理呢? 因为他用权柄能力吩咐污鬼, 污鬼就出来. ”

4:37 And news about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.
于是耶稣的名声传遍了周围地方.

4:38 And after he set out from the synagogue, he went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a high fever, and they asked him on behalf of her.
耶稣出了会堂, 进了西门的家. 西门的岳母害热病甚重, 有人为她求耶稣.

4:39 And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she got up and began to serve them.
耶稣站在她旁边, 斥责那热病, 热就退了. 她立刻起来服事他们.

4:40 Now as the sun was setting, all who had those who were sick with various diseases brought them to him, and placing his hands on every one of them, he healed them.
日落的时候, 凡有病人的, 不论害甚么病, 都带到耶稣那里. 耶稣按手在他们各人身上, 医好他们.

4:41 And demons also were coming out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” And he rebuked them and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
又有鬼从好些人身上出来, 喊著说: “你是神的儿子. ”耶稣斥责他们, 不许他们说话. 因为他们知道他是基督.

4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went to an isolated place. And the crowds were seeking him, and came to him and were trying to prevent him from departing from them.
天亮的时候, 耶稣出来, 走到旷野地方. 众人去找他, 到了他那里, 要留住他, 不要他离开他们.

4:43 But he said to them, “It is necessary for me to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.
但耶稣对他们说: “我也必须在别城传神国的福音, 因我奉差原是为此. ”

4:44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
于是耶稣在加利利的各会堂传道.

Luke - Chapter 5

5:1 Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around him and hearing the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,
耶稣站在革尼撒勒湖边, 众人拥挤他, 要听神的道.

5:2 and he saw two boats there beside the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
他见有两只船湾在湖边; 打鱼的人却离开船洗网去了.

5:3 And he got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out from the land a little. And he sat down and began to teach the crowds from the boat.
有一只船是西门的, 耶稣就上去, 请他把船撑开, 稍微离岸, 就坐下, 从船上教训众人.

5:4 And when he stopped speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
讲完了, 对西门说: “把船开到水深之处, 下网打鱼. ”

5:5 And Simon answered and said, “Master, although we worked hard through the whole night, we caught nothing. But at your word I will let down the nets.”
西门说: “夫子, 我们整夜劳力, 并没有打着甚么. 但依从你的话, 我就下网. ”

5:6 And when they did this, they caught a very large number of fish, and their nets began to tear.
他们下了网, 就圈住许多鱼, 网险些裂开,

5:7 And they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink.
便招呼那只船上的同伴来帮助. 他们就来, 把鱼装满了两只船, 甚至船要沉下去.

5:8 And when he saw it, Simon Peter fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man!”
西门•彼得看见, 就俯伏在耶稣膝前, 说: “主啊, 离开我, 我是个罪人! ”

5:9 For amazement had seized him and all those who were with him at the catch of fish that they had caught,
他和一切同在的人都惊讶这一网所打的鱼.

5:10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were business partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! From now on you will be catching people!”
他的伙伴西庇太的儿子雅各,约翰, 也是这样. 耶稣对西门说: “不要怕! 从今以后, 你要得人了. ”

5:11 And after they brought their boats to the land, they left everything and followed him.
他们把两只船拢了岸, 就撇下所有的, 跟从了耶稣.

5:12 And it happened that while he was in one of the towns, there was a man covered with leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell down on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
有一回, 耶稣在一个城里, 有人满身长了大痲疯, 看见他, 就俯伏在地, 求他说: “主若肯, 必能叫我洁净了. ”

5:13 And extending his hand he touched him, saying, “I am willing; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy went away from him.
耶稣伸手摸他, 说: “我肯, 你洁净了吧! ”大痲疯立刻就离了他的身.

5:14 And he ordered him, “Tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and bring the offering for your cleansing just as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
耶稣嘱咐他: “你切不可告诉人, 只要去把身体给祭司察看, 又要为你得了洁净, 照摩西所吩咐的献上礼物, 对众人作证据. ”

5:15 But the report about him spread even more, and large crowds were gathering to hear him and to be healed of their illnesses.
但耶稣的名声越发传扬出去. 有极多的人聚集来听道, 也指望医治他们的病.

5:16 But he himself was withdrawing in the wilderness and praying.
耶稣却退到旷野去祷告.

5:17 And it happened that on one of the days as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was there in order for him to heal.
有一天, 耶稣教训人, 有法利赛人和教法师在旁边坐着; 他们是从加利利各乡村和犹太并耶路撒冷来的. 主的能力与耶稣同在, 使他能医治病人.

5:18 And behold, men came carrying on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and place him before him.
有人用褥子抬着一个瘫子, 要抬进去放在耶稣面前,

5:19 And when they did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the roof tiles with the stretcher into the midst of them, in front of Jesus.
却因人多, 寻不出法子抬进去, 就上了房顶, 从瓦间把他连褥子缒到当中, 正在耶稣面前.

5:20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
耶稣见他们的信心, 就对瘫子说: “你的罪赦了. ”

5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?”
文士和法利赛人就议论说: “这说僭妄话的是谁? 除了神以外, 谁能赦罪呢? ”

5:22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
耶稣知道他们所议论的, 就说: “你们心里议论的是甚么呢?

5:23 Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
或说‘你的罪赦了’, 或说‘你起来行走’, 哪一样容易呢?

5:24 But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the one who was paralyzed, “I say to you, ‘Get up and pick up your stretcher and go to your home.’ ”
但要叫你们知道, 人子在地上有赦罪的权柄. ”就对瘫子说: “我吩咐你, 起来, 拿你的褥子回家去吧! ”

5:25 And immediately he stood up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went away to his home, glorifying God.
那人当众人面前立刻起来, 拿着他所躺卧的褥子回家去, 归荣耀与神.

5:26 And amazement seized them all, and they began to glorify God. And they were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen wonderful things today!”
众人都惊奇, 也归荣耀与神, 并且满心惧怕, 说: “我们今日看见非常的事了. ”

5:27 And after these things, he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me!”
这事以后, 耶稣出去, 看见一个税吏, 名叫利未, 坐在税关上, 就对他说: “你跟从我来. ”

5:28 And leaving everything behind, he got up and began to follow him.
他就撇下所有的, 起来, 跟从了耶稣.

5:29 And Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining for the meal with them.
利未在自己家里为耶稣大摆筵席, 有许多税吏和别人与他们一同坐席.

5:30 And the Pharisees and their scribes began to complain to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
法利赛人和文士就向耶稣的门徒发怨言说: “你们为甚么和税吏并罪人一同吃喝呢? ”

5:31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.
耶稣对他们说: “无病的人用不着医生; 有病的人才用得着.

5:32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
我来本不是召义人悔改, 乃是召罪人悔改. ”

5:33 And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and make prayers—likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees—but yours are eating and drinking!”
他们说: “约翰的门徒屡次禁食祈祷, 法利赛人的门徒也是这样; 惟独你的门徒又吃又喝. ”

5:34 So he said to them, “You are not able to make the bridegroom’s attendants fast as long as the bridegroom is with them, are you?
耶稣对他们说: “新郎和陪伴之人同在的时候, 岂能叫陪伴之人禁食呢?

5:35 But days will come, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”
但日子将到, 新郎要离开他们, 那日他们就要禁食了. ”

5:36 And he also told a parable to them: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. Otherwise, he will have torn the new also, and the old will not match the patch that is from the new.
耶稣又设一个比喻, 对他们说: “没有人把新衣服撕下一块来补在旧衣服上; 若是这样, 就把新的撕破了, 并且所撕下来的那块新的和旧的也不相称.

5:37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled and the wineskins will be destroyed.
也没有人把新酒装在旧皮袋里; 若是这样, 新酒必将皮袋裂开, 酒便漏出来, 皮袋也就坏了.

5:38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins.
但新酒必须装在新皮袋里.

5:39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, because he says, ‘The old is just fine!’ ”
没有人喝了陈酒又想喝新的; 他总说陈的好. ”

Luke - Chapter 6

6:1 Now it happened that on a Sabbath he went through the grain fields, and his disciples were picking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
有一个安息日, 耶稣从麦地经过. 他的门徒掐了麦穗, 用手搓著吃.

6:2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?
有几个法利赛人说: “你们为甚么做安息日不可做的事呢? ”

6:3 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you not read this, what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry—
耶稣对他们说: “经上记着大卫和跟从他的人饥饿之时所做的事, 连这个你们也没有念过吗?

6:4 how he entered into the house of God and took the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests alone), and ate it and gave it to those with him?”
他怎么进了神的殿, 拿陈设饼吃, 又给跟从的人吃? 这饼除了祭司以外, 别人都不可吃. ”

6:5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
又对他们说: “人子是安息日的主. ”

6:6 Now it happened that on another Sabbath he entered into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there, and his right hand was withered.
又有一个安息日, 耶稣进了会堂教训人, 在那里有一个人右手枯干了.

6:7 So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find a reason to accuse him.
文士和法利赛人窥探耶稣, 在安息日治病不治病, 要得把柄去告他.

6:8 But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand in the middle,” and he got up and stood there.
耶稣却知道他们的意念, 就对那枯干一只手的人说: “起来! 站在当中. ”那人就起来, 站着.

6:9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you whether it is permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?”
耶稣对他们说: “我问你们, 在安息日行善行恶, 救命害命, 哪样是可以的呢? ”

6:10 And after looking around at them all, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand,” and he did, and his hand was restored.
他就周围看着他们众人, 对那人说: “伸出手来! ”他把手一伸, 手就复了原.

6:11 But they were filled with fury, and began discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.
他们就满心大怒, 彼此商议怎样处治耶稣.

6:12 Now it happened that in these days he went away to the mountain to pray, and was spending the whole night in prayer to God.
那时, 耶稣出去, 上山祷告, 整夜祷告神;

6:13 And when day came, he summoned his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles:
到了天亮, 叫他的门徒来, 就从他们中间挑选十二个人, 称他们为使徒.

6:14 Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
这十二个人有西门(耶稣又给他起名叫彼得), 还有他兄弟安得烈, 又有雅各和约翰, 腓力和巴多罗买,

6:17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, and a large crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast district of Tyre and Sidon,
耶稣和他们下了山, 站在一块平地上; 同站的有许多门徒, 又有许多百姓, 从犹太全地和耶路撒冷, 并泰尔,西顿的海边来, 都要听他讲道, 又指望医治他们的病;

6:18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured.
还有被污鬼缠磨的, 也得了医治.

6:19 And the whole crowd was seeking to touch him, because power was going out from him and healing them all.
众人都想要摸他; 因为有能力从他身上发出来, 医好了他们.

6:20 And he lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said, “Blessed are the poor, because yours is the kingdom of God.
耶稣举目看着门徒, 说: 你们贫穷的人有福了! 因为神的国是你们的.

6:21 Blessed are those who are hungry now, because you will be satisfied. Blessed are those who weep now, Because you will laugh.

“人为人子恨恶你们, 拒绝你们, 辱骂你们, 弃掉你们的名, 以为是恶, 你们就有福了!

6:23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers used to do the same things to the prophets.
当那日, 你们要欢喜跳跃, 因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的. 他们的祖宗待先知也是这样.

6:32 “And if you love those who love you, what kind of credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them!

6:33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is that to you? Even the sinners do the same!
你们若善待那善待你们的人, 有甚么可酬谢的呢? 就是罪人也是这样行.

6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive back, what kind of credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may get back an equal amount!
你们若借给人, 指望从他收回, 有甚么可酬谢的呢? 就是罪人也借给罪人, 要如数收回.

6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend expecting back nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
你们倒要爱仇敌, 也要善待他们, 并要借给人不指望偿还, 你们的赏赐就必大了, 你们也必作至高者的儿子; 因为他恩待那忘恩的和作恶的.

6:36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!
你们要慈悲, 像你们的父慈悲一样. ”

6:37 “And do not judge, and you will never be judged. And do not condemn, and you will never be condemned. Pardon, and you will be pardoned.
“你们不要论断人, 就不被论断; 你们不要定人的罪, 就不被定罪; 你们要饶恕人, 就必蒙饶恕(饶恕: 原文是释放);

6:38 Give, and it will be given to you, a good measure—pressed down, shaken, overflowing—they will pour out into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you in return.”
你们要给人, 就必有给你们的, 并且用十足的升斗, 连摇带按, 上尖下流地倒在你们怀里; 因为你们用甚么量器量给人, 也必用甚么量器量给你们. ”

6:39 And he also told them a parable: “Surely a blind person cannot lead the blind, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?
耶稣又用比喻对他们说: “瞎子岂能领瞎子, 两个人不是都要掉在坑里吗?

6:40 A disciple is not superior to his teacher, but everyone, when he is fully trained, will be like his teacher.
学生不能高过先生; 凡学成了的不过和先生一样.

6:41 And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam of wood that is in your own eye?
为甚么看见你弟兄眼中有刺, 却不想自己眼中有梁木呢?

6:42 How are you able to say to your brother, “Brother, allow me to remove the speck that is in your eye,” while you yourself do not see the beam of wood in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye!
你不见自己眼中有梁木, 怎能对你弟兄说: ‘容我去掉你眼中的刺’呢? 你这假冒为善的人! 先去掉自己眼中的梁木, 然后才能看得清楚, 去掉你弟兄眼中的刺. ”

6:43 “For there is no good tree that produces bad fruit, nor on the other hand a bad tree that produces good fruit,
“因为, 没有好树结坏果子, 也没有坏树结好果子.

6:44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn plants, nor are grapes harvested from thorn bushes.
凡树木看果子, 就可以认出它来. 人不是从荆棘上摘无花果, 也不是从蒺藜里摘葡萄.

6:45 The good person out of the good treasury of his heart brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
善人从他心里所存的善就发出善来; 恶人从他心里所存的恶就发出恶来; 因为心里所充满的, 口里就说出来. ”

6:46 “And why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I tell you?
“你们为甚么称呼我‘主啊, 主啊’却不遵我的话行呢?

6:47 “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and does them—I will show you what he is like:
凡到我这里来, 听见我的话就去行的, 我要告诉你们他像甚么人:

6:48 he is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the river burst against that house and was not able to shake it, because it had been built well.
他像一个人盖房子, 深深地挖地, 把根基安在磐石上; 到发大水的时候, 水冲那房子, 房子总不能摇动, 因为根基立在磐石上(有古卷: 因为盖造得好).

6:49 But the one who hears my words and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, which the river burst against, and immediately it collapsed—and the collapse of that house was great!”
惟有听见不去行的, 就像一个人在土地上盖房子, 没有根基; 水一冲, 随即倒塌了, 并且那房子坏的很大. ”

Luke - Chapter 7

7:1 After he had finished all his statements in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
耶稣对百姓讲完了这一切的话, 就进了迦百农.

7:2 Now a certain centurion’s slave, who was esteemed by him, was sick and was about to die.
有一个百夫长所宝贵的仆人害病, 快要死了.

7:3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent Jewish elders to him, asking him that he would come and cure his slave.
百夫长风闻耶稣的事, 就托犹太人的几个长老去求耶稣来救他的仆人.

7:4 And when they came to Jesus, they began imploring him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy that you grant this for him,
他们到了耶稣那里, 就切切地求他说: “你给他行这事是他所配得的;

7:5 because he loves our nation and he himself built the synagogue for us.”
因为他爱我们的百姓, 给我们建造会堂. ”

7:6 So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, and the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.
耶稣就和他们同去. 离那家不远, 百夫长托几个朋友去见耶稣, 对他说: “主啊! 不要劳动; 因你到我舍下, 我不敢当.

7:7 For this reason neither did I consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word and my slave must be healed.
我也自以为不配去见你, 只要你说一句话, 我的仆人就必好了.

7:8 For I also am a man placed under authority, who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another one, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
因为我在人的权下, 也有兵在我以下, 对这个说: ‘去! ’他就去; 对那个说: ‘来! ’他就来; 对我的仆人说: ‘你做这事! ’他就去做. ”

7:9 And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning around to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
耶稣听见这话, 就希奇他, 转身对跟随的众人说: “我告诉你们, 这么大的信心, 就是在以色列中, 我也没有遇见过. ”

7:10 And when they returned to the house, those who had been sent found the slave healthy.
那托来的人回到百夫长家里, 看见仆人已经好了.

7:11 And it happened that on the next day he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.
过了不多时(有古卷: 次日), 耶稣往一座城去, 这城名叫拿因, 他的门徒和极多的人与他同行.

7:12 And as he approached the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
将近城门, 有一个死人被抬出来. 这人是他母亲独生的儿子; 他母亲又是寡妇. 有城里的许多人同著寡妇送殡.

7:13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep!”
主看见那寡妇, 就怜悯她, 对她说: “不要哭! ”

7:14 And he came up and touched the bier, and those who were carrying it stopped. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
于是进前按著杠, 抬的人就站住了. 耶稣说: “少年人, 我吩咐你, 起来! ”

7:15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother.
那死人就坐起, 并且说话. 耶稣便把他交给他母亲.

7:16 And fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and “God has visited to help his people!”
众人都惊奇, 归荣耀与神, 说: “有大先知在我们中间兴起来了! ”又说: “神眷顾了他的百姓! ”

7:17 And this report about him went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
他这事的风声就传遍了犹太和周围地方.

7:18 And his disciples reported to John about all these things. And summoning a certain two of his disciples, John
约翰的门徒把这些事都告诉约翰.

7:19 sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
他便叫了两个门徒来, 打发他们到主那里去, 说: “那将要来的是你吗? 还是我们等候别人呢? ”

7:20 And when the men came to him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’ ”
那两个人来到耶稣那里, 说: “施洗的约翰打发我们来问你: ‘那将要来的是你吗? 还是我们等候别人呢? ’”

7:21 In that hour he healed many people of diseases and suffering and evil spirits, and he granted sight to many blind people.
正当那时候, 耶稣治好了许多有疾病的, 受灾患的, 被恶鬼附着的, 又开恩叫好些瞎子能看见.

7:22 And he answered and said to them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear; the dead are raised, the poor have good news announced to them.
耶稣回答说: “你们去, 把所看见所听见的事告诉约翰, 就是瞎子看见, 瘸子行走, 长大痲疯的洁净, 聋子听见, 死人复活, 穷人有福音传给他们.

7:23 And whoever is not offended by me is blessed.”
凡不因我跌倒的, 就有福了! ”

7:24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
约翰所差来的人既走了, 耶稣就对众人讲论约翰说: “你们从前出去到旷野, 是要看甚么呢? 要看风吹动的芦苇吗?

7:25 But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and luxury are in the royal palaces.
你们出去, 到底是要看甚么? 要看穿细软衣服的人吗? 那穿华丽衣服,宴乐度日的人是在王宫里.

7:26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
你们出去, 究竟是要看甚么? 要看先知吗? 我告诉你们, 是的, 他比先知大多了.

7:27 It is this man about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
经上记着说: ‘我要差遣我的使者在你前面预备道路’, 所说的就是这个人.

7:28 I tell you, there is no one greater among those born of women than John, but the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
我告诉你们, 凡妇人所生的, 没有一个大过约翰的; 然而神国里最小的比他还大. ”

7:29 (And all the people, when they heard this—even the tax collectors—affirmed the righteousness of God, because they had been baptized with the baptism of John,
众百姓和税吏既受过约翰的洗, 听见这话, 就以神为义;

7:30 but the Pharisees and the legal experts rejected the purpose of God for themselves, because they had not been baptized by him.)
但法利赛人和律法师没有受过约翰的洗, 竟为自己废弃了神的旨意. (29-30两节或译: 众百姓和税吏听见了约翰的话, 就受了他的洗, 便以神为义; 但法利赛人和律法师不受约翰的洗, 竟为自己废弃了神的旨意. )

7:31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?
主又说: “这样, 我可用甚么比这世代的人呢? 他们好像甚么呢?

7:32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another, who say, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we sang a lament and you did not weep.’
好像孩童坐在街市上, 彼此呼叫说: 我们向你们吹笛, 你们不跳舞; 我们向你们举哀, 你们不啼哭.

7:33 For John the Baptist has come not eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
施洗的约翰来, 不吃饼, 不喝酒, 你们说他是被鬼附着的.

7:34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a man who is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
人子来, 也吃也喝, 你们说他是贪食好酒的人, 是税吏和罪人的朋友.

7:35 And wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
但智慧之子都以智慧为是. ”

7:36 Now one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he entered into the house of the Pharisee and reclined at the table.
有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他吃饭; 耶稣就到法利赛人家里去坐席.

7:37 And behold, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she learned that he was dining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of perfumed oil,
那城里有一个女人, 是个罪人, 知道耶稣在法利赛人家里坐席, 就拿着盛香膏的玉瓶,

7:38 and standing behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and was wiping them with the hair of her head and was kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfumed oil.
站在耶稣背后, 挨着他的脚哭, 眼泪溼了耶稣的脚, 就用自己的头发擦干, 又用嘴连连亲他的脚, 把香膏抹上.

7:39 Now when the Pharisee who invited him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.”
请耶稣的法利赛人看见这事, 心里说: “这人若是先知, 必知道摸他的是谁, 是个怎样的女人; 乃是个罪人. ”

7:40 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he said, “Teacher, say it.”
耶稣对他说: “西门! 我有句话要对你说. ”西门说: “夫子, 请说. ”

7:41 “There were two debtors who owed a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty.
耶稣说: “一个债主有两个人欠他的债; 一个欠五十两银子, 一个欠五两银子;

7:42 When they were not able to repay him, he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
因为他们无力偿还, 债主就开恩免了他们两个人的债. 这两个人哪一个更爱他呢? ”

7:43 Simon answered and said, “I suppose that it is the one to whom he forgave more.” And he said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
西门回答说: “我想是那多得恩免的人. ”耶稣说: “你断的不错. ”

7:44 And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You did not give me water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
于是转过来向着那女人, 便对西门说: “你看见这女人吗? 我进了你的家, 你没有给我水洗脚; 但这女人用眼泪溼了我的脚, 用头发擦干.

7:45 You did not give me a kiss, but from the time I entered, she has not stopped kissing my feet.
你没有与我亲嘴; 但这女人从我进来的时候就不住地用嘴亲我的脚.

7:46 You did not anoint my head with olive oil, but she anointed my feet with perfumed oil.
你没有用油抹我的头; 但这女人用香膏抹我的脚.

7:47 For this reason I tell you, her sins—which were many—have been forgiven, for she loved much. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little.”
所以我告诉你, 她许多的罪都赦免了, 因为她的爱多; 但那赦免少的, 他的爱就少. ”

7:48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
于是对那女人说: “你的罪赦免了. ”

7:49 And those who were reclining at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
同席的人心里说: “这是甚么人, 竟赦免人的罪呢? ”

7:50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
耶稣对那女人说: “你的信救了你; 平平安安回去吧! ”

Luke - Chapter 8

8:1 And it happened that afterward also he was going about from one town and village to another preaching and proclaiming the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the twelve were with him,
过了不多日, 耶稣周游各城各乡传道, 宣讲神国的福音. 和他同去的有十二个门徒,

8:2 and some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (who was called Magdalene), from whom seven demons had gone out,
还有被恶鬼所附,被疾病所累,已经治好的几个妇女, 内中有称为抹大拉的马利亚(曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来),

8:3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod’s household manager), and Susanna, and many others who were helping to support them from their possessions.
又有希律的家宰苦撒的妻子约亚拿, 并苏撒拿, 和好些别的妇女, 都是用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒.

8:4 And while a large crowd was gathering and they were going to him from town after town, he spoke by means of a parable:
当许多人聚集,又有人从各城里出来见耶稣的时候, 耶稣就用比喻说:

8:5 “The sower went out to sow his seed, and while he was sowing, some seed fell on the side of the path and was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
“有一个撒种的出去撒种. 撒的时候, 有落在路旁的, 被人践踏, 天上的飞鸟又来吃尽了.

8:6 And other seed fell on the rock, and when it came up, it withered, because it did not have moisture.
有落在磐石上的, 一出来就枯干了, 因为得不著滋润.

8:7 And other seed fell in the midst of the thorn plants, and the thorn plants grew up with it and choked it.
有落在荆棘里的, 荆棘一同生长, 把它挤住了.

8:8 And other seed fell on the good soil, and when it came up, it produced a hundred times as much grain.” As he said these things, he called out, “The one who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
又有落在好土里的, 生长起来, 结实百倍. ”耶稣说了这些话, 就大声说: “有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

8:9 And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
门徒问耶稣说: “这比喻是甚么意思呢? ”

8:10 And he said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest they are in parables, so that ‘Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
他说: “神国的奥祕只叫你们知道; 至于别人, 就用比喻, 叫他们看也看不见, 听也听不明. ”

8:11 Now the parable means this: the seed is the word of God,
“这比喻乃是这样: 种子就是神的道.

8:12 and those beside the path are the ones who have heard. Then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
那些在路旁的, 就是人听了道, 随后魔鬼来, 从他们心里把道夺去, 恐怕他们信了得救.

8:13 And those on the rock are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, and these do not have enough root, who believe for a time and in a time of testing fall away.
那些在磐石上的, 就是人听道, 欢喜领受, 但心中没有根, 不过暂时相信, 及至遇见试炼就退后了.

8:14 And the seed that fell into the thorn plants—these are the ones who hear and as they go along are choked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life, and they do not bear fruit to maturity.
那落在荆棘里的, 就是人听了道, 走开以后, 被今生的思虑,钱财,宴乐挤住了, 便结不出成熟的子粒来.

8:15 But the seed on the good soil—these are the ones who, after hearing the word, hold fast to it with a noble and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
那落在好土里的, 就是人听了道, 持守在诚实善良的心里, 并且忍耐著结实. ”

8:16 “And no one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
“没有人点灯用器皿盖上, 或放在床底下, 乃是放在灯台上, 叫进来的人看见亮光.

8:17 For nothing is secret that will not become evident, and nothing hidden that will never be known and come to light.
因为掩藏的事没有不显出来的; 隐瞒的事没有不露出来被人知道的.

8:18 Therefore consider how you listen, for whoever has, to him more will be given, and whoever does not have, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away from him.”
所以, 你们应当小心怎样听; 因为凡有的, 还要加给他; 凡没有的, 连他自以为有的, 也要夺去. ”

8:19 Now his mother and brothers came to him, and they were not able to meet with him because of the crowd.
耶稣的母亲和他弟兄来了, 因为人多, 不得到他跟前.

8:20 And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting to see you.”
有人告诉他说: “你母亲和你弟兄站在外边, 要见你. ”

8:21 But he answered and said to them, “These are my mother and my brothers—the ones who hear the word of God and do it.
耶稣回答说: “听了神之道而遵行的人就是我的母亲, 我的弟兄了. ”

8:22 Now it happened that on one of the days both he and his disciples got into a boat, and he said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” And they set sail,
有一天, 耶稣和门徒上了船, 对门徒说: “我们可以渡到湖那边去. ”他们就开了船.

8:23 and as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.
正行的时候, 耶稣睡着了. 湖上忽然起了暴风, 船将满了水, 甚是危险.

8:24 And they came and woke him up, saying, “Master, master! We are perishing!” So he got up and rebuked the wind and the billowing waves of water and they ceased, and it became calm.
门徒来叫醒了他, 说: “夫子! 夫子! 我们丧命啦! ”耶稣醒了, 斥责那狂风大浪; 风浪就止住, 平静了.

8:25 And he said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and were astonished, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water and they obey him?”
耶稣对他们说: “你们的信心在哪里呢? ”他们又惧怕又希奇, 彼此说: “这到底是谁? 他吩咐风和水, 连风和水也听从他了. ”

8:26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
他们到了格拉森(有古卷: 加大拉)人的地方, 就是加利利的对面.

8:27 And as he got out on the land, a certain man from the town met him who had demons and for a considerable time had not worn clothes and did not live in a house, but among the tombs.
耶稣上了岸, 就有城里一个被鬼附着的人迎面而来. 这个人许久不穿衣服, 不住房子, 只住在坟茔里.

8:28 And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!”
他见了耶稣, 就俯伏在他面前, 大声喊叫, 说: “至高神的儿子耶稣, 我与你有甚么相干? 求你不要叫我受苦! ”

8:29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For it had seized him many times, and he was bound with chains and shackles and was guarded, and breaking the bonds he would be driven by the demon into the deserted places.)
是因耶稣曾吩咐污鬼从那人身上出来. 原来这鬼屡次抓住他; 他常被人看守, 又被铁链和脚镣捆锁, 他竟把锁链挣断, 被鬼赶到旷野去.

8:30 So Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
耶稣问他说: “你名叫甚么? ”他说: “我名叫‘群’”; 这是因为附着他的鬼多.

8:31 And they began imploring him that he would not order them to depart into the abyss.
鬼就央求耶稣, 不要吩咐他们到无底坑里去.

8:32 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the hill, and they implored him that he would permit them to enter into those pigs. And he permitted them.
那里有一大群猪在山上吃食. 鬼央求耶稣, 准他们进入猪里去. 耶稣准了他们,

8:33 So the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed headlong down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
鬼就从那人出来, 进入猪里去. 于是那群猪闯下山崖, 投在湖里淹死了.

8:34 And when the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
放猪的看见这事就逃跑了, 去告诉城里和乡下的人.

8:35 So they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting there clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
众人出来要看是甚么事; 到了耶稣那里, 看见鬼所离开的那人, 坐在耶稣脚前, 穿着衣服, 心里明白过来, 他们就害怕.

8:36 And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.
看见这事的便将被鬼附着的人怎么得救告诉他们.

8:37 And all the people of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, because they had been seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
格拉森四围的人, 因为害怕得很, 都求耶稣离开他们; 耶稣就上船回去了.

8:38 And the man from who the demons had gone out was begging him to stay with him, but he sent him away, saying,
鬼所离开的那人恳求和耶稣同在; 耶稣却打发他回去, 说:

8:39 “Return to your home and tell all that God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
“你回家去, 传说神为你做了何等大的事. ”他就去, 满城里传扬耶稣为他做了何等大的事.

8:40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, because they were all waiting for him.
耶稣回来的时候, 众人迎接他, 因为他们都等候他.

8:41 And behold, a man who was named Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus and began imploring him to come to his house,
有一个管会堂的, 名叫睚鲁, 来俯伏在耶稣脚前, 求耶稣到他家里去;

8:42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.
因他有一个独生女儿, 约有十二岁, 快要死了. 耶稣去的时候, 众人拥挤他.

8:43 And a woman who was suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years (who, although she had spent all her assets on physicians, was not able to be healed by anyone)
有一个女人, 患了十二年的血漏, 在医生手里花尽了他一切养生的, 并没有一人能医好他.

8:44 came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her hemorrhaging stopped.
她来到耶稣背后, 摸他的衣裳䍁子, 血漏立刻就止住了.

8:45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched me?” And when they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds are pressing you hard and crowding you!”
耶稣说: “摸我的是谁? ”众人都不承认. 彼得和同行的人都说: “夫子, 众人拥拥挤挤紧靠着你. (有古卷加: 你还问摸我的是谁吗? )”

8:46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, because I know power has gone out from me.”
耶稣说: “总有人摸我, 因我觉得有能力从我身上出去. ”

8:47 And when the woman saw that she did not escape notice, she came trembling and falling down before him. In the presence of all the people, she told for what reason she had touched him, and that she was healed immediately.
那女人知道不能隐藏, 就战战兢兢地来俯伏在耶稣脚前, 把摸他的缘故和怎样立刻得好了, 当着众人都说出来.

8:48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
耶稣对她说: “女儿, 你的信救了你; 平平安安地去吧! ”

8:49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying, “Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!”
还说话的时候, 有人从管会堂的家里来, 说: “你的女儿死了, 不要劳动夫子. ”

8:50 But Jesus, when he heard this, replied to him, “Do not be afraid! Only believe, and she will be healed.”
耶稣听见就对他说: “不要怕, 只要信! 你的女儿就必得救. ”

8:51 Now when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter with him except Peter and John and James and the father and mother of the child.
耶稣到了他的家, 除了彼得,约翰,雅各, 和女儿的父母, 不许别人同他进去.

8:52 And they were all weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep! For she is not dead, but is sleeping.”
众人都为这女儿哀哭捶胸. 耶稣说: “不要哭! 她不是死了, 是睡着了. ”

8:53 And they began laughing at him, because they knew that she was dead.
他们晓得女儿已经死了, 就嗤笑耶稣.

8:54 But he took her hand and called, saying, “Child, get up.”
耶稣拉着她的手, 呼叫说: “女儿, 起来吧! ”

8:55 And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately, and he ordered something to be given to her to eat.
她的灵魂便回来, 她就立刻起来了. 耶稣吩咐给她东西吃.

8:56 And her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
她的父母惊奇得很; 耶稣嘱咐他们, 不要把所做的事告诉人.

Luke - Chapter 9

9:1 And summoning the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases,
耶稣叫齐了十二个门徒, 给他们能力,权柄, 制伏一切的鬼, 医治各样的病,

9:2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
又差遣他们去宣传神国的道, 医治病人,

9:3 And he said to them, “Take along nothing for the journey—neither a staff, nor a traveler’s bag, nor bread, nor money, nor to have two tunics apiece.
对他们说: “行路的时候, 不要带柺杖和口袋, 不要带食物和银子, 也不要带两件褂子.

9:4 And into whatever house you enter, stay there and depart from there.
无论进哪一家, 就住在那里, 也从那里起行.

9:5 And as for all those who do not welcome you—when you depart from that town, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
凡不接待你们的, 你们离开那城的时候, 要把脚上的尘土跺下去, 见证他们的不是. ”

9:6 So they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
门徒就出去, 走遍各乡宣传福音, 到处治病.

9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised from the dead,
分封的王希律听见耶稣所做的一切事, 就游移不定; 因为有人说: “是约翰从死里复活”;

9:8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and others that some prophet of ancient times had risen.
又有人说: “是以利亚显现”; 还有人说: “是古时的一个先知又活了. ”

9:9 And Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he was wanting to see him.
希律说: “约翰我已经斩了, 这却是甚么人? 我竟听见他这样的事呢? ”就想要见他.

9:10 And when they returned, the apostles described to him all that they had done. And he took them along and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
使徒回来, 将所做的事告诉耶稣, 耶稣就带他们暗暗地离开那里, 往一座城去; 那城名叫伯赛大.

9:11 But when the crowds found out, they followed him, and welcoming them, he began to speak to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.
但众人知道了, 就跟着他去; 耶稣便接待他们, 对他们讲论神国的道, 医治那些需要医治的人.

9:12 Now the day began to be far spent, and the twelve came up and said to him, “Send away the crowd so that they can go into the surrounding villages and farms to obtain lodging and find provisions, because we are here in a desolate place.
日头快要平西, 十二个门徒来对他说: “请叫众人散开, 他们好往四面乡村里去借宿找吃的, 因为我们这里是野地. ”

9:13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and purchase food for all these people.”
耶稣说: “你们给他们吃吧! ”门徒说: “我们不过有五个饼, 两条鱼, 若不去为这许多人买食物就不够. ”

9:14 (For there were about five thousand men.) So he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
那时, 人数约有五千. 耶稣对门徒说: “叫他们一排一排地坐下, 每排大约五十个人. ”

9:15 And they did so, and had them all sit down.
门徒就如此行, 叫众人都坐下.

9:16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them and began giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
耶稣拿着这五个饼, 两条鱼, 望着天祝福, 擘开, 递给门徒, 摆在众人面前.

9:17 And they all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up by them—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
他们就吃, 并且都吃饱了; 把剩下的零碎收拾起来, 装满了十二篮子.

9:18 And it happened that while he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
耶稣自己祷告的时候, 门徒也同他在那里. 耶稣问他们说: “众人说我是谁? ”

9:19 And they answered and said, “John the Baptist, but others, Elijah, and others, that one of the ancient prophets has risen.”
他们说: “有人说是施洗的约翰; 有人说是以利亚; 还有人说是古时的一个先知又活了. ”

9:20 And he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
耶稣说: “你们说我是谁? ”彼得回答说: “是神所立的基督. ”

9:21 But he warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,
耶稣切切地嘱咐他们, 不可将这事告诉人,

9:22 saying, “It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.
又说: “人子必须受许多的苦, 被长老,祭司长,和文士弃绝, 并且被杀, 第三日复活. ”

9:23 And he said to them all, “If anyone wants to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow me.
耶稣又对众人说: “若有人要跟从我, 就当舍己, 天天背起他的十字架来跟从我.

9:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life on account of me, this person will save it.
因为, 凡要救自己生命(生命: 或译灵魂; 下同)的, 必丧掉生命; 凡为我丧掉生命的, 必救了生命.

9:25 For what is a person benefited if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
人若赚得全世界, 却丧了自己, 赔上自己, 有甚么益处呢?

9:26 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of this person when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
凡把我和我的道当作可耻的, 人子在自己的荣耀里, 并天父与圣天使的荣耀里降临的时候, 也要把那人当作可耻的.

9:27 But I tell you truly, there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God.”
我实在告诉你们, 站在这里的, 有人在没尝死味以前, 必看见神的国. ”

9:28 Now it happened that about eight days after these words, he took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
说了这话以后约有八天, 耶稣带着彼得,约翰,雅各上山去祷告.

9:29 And as he was praying, the appearance of his face became different, and his clothing became white, gleaming like lightning.
正祷告的时候, 他的面貌就改变了, 衣服洁白放光.

9:30 And behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
忽然有摩西,以利亚两个人同耶稣说话;

9:31 who appeared in glory and were speaking about his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
他们在荣光里显现, 谈论耶稣去世的事, 就是他在耶路撒冷将要成的事.

9:32 Now Peter and those with him were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were standing with him.
彼得和他的同伴都打盹, 既清醒了, 就看见耶稣的荣光, 并同他站着的那两个人.

9:33 And it happened that as they were going away from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he was saying.
二人正要和耶稣分离的时候, 彼得对耶稣说: “夫子, 我们在这里真好! 可以搭三座棚, 一座为你, 一座为摩西, 一座为以利亚. ”他却不知道所说的是甚么.

9:34 And while he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
说这话的时候, 有一朵云彩来遮盖他们; 他们进入云彩里就惧怕.

9:35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him!”
有声音从云彩里出来, 说: “这是我的儿子, 我所拣选的(有古卷: 这是我的爱子), 你们要听他. ”

9:36 And after the voice had occurred, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
声音住了, 只见耶稣一人在那里. 当那些日子, 门徒不提所看见的事, 一样也不告诉人.

9:37 Now it happened that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.
第二天, 他们下了山, 就有许多人迎见耶稣.

9:38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look with concern on my son, because he is my only son!
其中有一人喊叫说: “夫子! 求你看顾我的儿子, 因为他是我的独生子.

9:39 And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he screams, and it convulses him with foam and rarely withdraws from him, battering him severely.
他被鬼抓住就忽然喊叫; 鬼又叫他抽疯, 口中流沫, 并且重重地伤害他, 难以离开他.

9:40 And I begged your disciples that they would expel it, and they were not able to do so.”
我求过你的门徒, 把鬼赶出去, 他们却是不能. ”

9:41 So Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverted generation! How long will I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!”
耶稣说: “嗳! 这又不信又悖谬的世代啊, 我在你们这里, 忍耐你们要到几时呢? 将你的儿子带到这里来吧! ”

9:42 And while he was still approaching, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
正来的时候, 鬼把他摔倒, 叫他重重地抽疯. 耶稣就斥责那污鬼, 把孩子治好了, 交给他父亲.

9:43 And they were all astounded at the impressiveness of God. But while they were all marveling at all the things that he was doing, he said to his disciples,
众人都诧异神的大能(大能: 或译威荣). 耶稣所做的一切事, 众人正希奇的时候, 耶稣对门徒说:

9:44 “You take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
“你们要把这些话存在耳中, 因为人子将要被交在人手里. ”

9:45 But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they could not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about this statement.
他们不明白这话, 意思乃是隐藏的, 叫他们不能明白, 他们也不敢问这话的意思.

9:46 And an argument developed among them as to who of them might be greatest.
门徒中间起了议论, 谁将为大.

9:47 But Jesus, because he knew the thoughts of their hearts, took hold of a child and had him stand beside him
耶稣看出他们心中的议论, 就领一个小孩子来, 叫他站在自己旁边,

9:48 and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all—this one is great.”
对他们说: “凡为我名接待这小孩子的, 就是接待我; 凡接待我的, 就是接待那差我来的. 你们中间最小的, 他便为大. ”

9:49 And John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow in company with us.”
约翰说: “夫子, 我们看见一个人奉你的名赶鬼, 我们就禁止他, 因为他不与我们一同跟从你. ”

9:50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not prevent him, because whoever is not against you is for you.”
耶稣说: “不要禁止他; 因为不敌挡你们的, 就是帮助你们的. ”

9:51 Now it happened that when the days were approaching for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.
耶稣被接上升的日子将到, 他就定意向耶路撒冷去,

9:52 And he sent messengers before him, and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans in order to prepare for him.
便打发使者在他前头走. 他们到了撒马利亚的一个村庄, 要为他预备.

9:53 And they did not welcome him because he was determined to go to Jerusalem.
那里的人不接待他, 因他面向耶路撒冷去.

9:54 Now when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”
他的门徒雅各,约翰看见了, 就说: “主啊, 你要我们吩咐火从天上降下来烧灭他们, 像以利亚所做的(有古卷没有像以利亚所做的这几个字)吗? ”

9:55 But he turned around and rebuked them,
耶稣转身责备两个门徒, 说: “你们的心如何, 你们并不知道.

9:56 and they proceeded to another village.
人子来不是要灭人的性命(性命或译: 灵魂; 下同), 是要救人的性命. ”说著就往别的村庄去了(有古卷只有五十五节首句, 五十六节末句).

9:57 And as they were traveling on the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
他们走路的时候, 有一人对耶稣说: “你无论往哪里去, 我要跟从你. ”

9:58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
耶稣说: “狐狸有洞, 天空的飞鸟有窝, 只是人子没有枕头的地方. ”

9:59 And he said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, first allow me to go and bury my father.”
又对一个人说: “跟从我来! ”那人说: “主, 容我先回去埋葬我的父亲. ”

9:60 But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead! But you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
耶稣说: “任凭死人埋葬他们的死人, 你只管去传扬神国的道. ”

9:61 And another person also said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say farewell to those in my house.”
又有一人说: “主, 我要跟从你, 但容我先去辞别我家里的人. ”

9:62 But Jesus said, “No one who puts his hand on the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God!”
耶稣说: “手扶著犁向后看的, 不配进神的国. ”

Luke - Chapter 10

10:1 And after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others and sent them out two by two before him into every town and place where he was about to go.
这事以后, 主又设立七十个人, 差遣他们两个两个地在他前面, 往自己所要到的各城各地方去,

10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest.
就对他们说: “要收的庄稼多, 做工的人少. 所以, 你们当求庄稼的主打发工人出去收他的庄稼.

10:3 Go! Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves!
你们去吧! 我差你们出去, 如同羊羔进入狼群.

10:4 Do not carry a money bag or a traveler’s bag or sandals, and greet no one along the road.
不要带钱囊, 不要带口袋, 不要带鞋; 在路上也不要问人的安.

10:5 And into whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace be to this household!”
无论进哪一家, 先要说: ‘愿这一家平安. ’

10:6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him. But if not, it will return to you.
那里若有当得平安的人(当得平安的人: 原文是平安之子), 你们所求的平安就必临到那家; 不然, 就归与你们了.

10:7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not move from house to house.
你们要住在那家, 吃喝他们所供给的, 因为工人得工价是应当的; 不要从这家搬到那家.

10:8 And into whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you,
无论进哪一城, 人若接待你们, 给你们摆上甚么, 你们就吃甚么.

10:9 and heal the sick in it, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.”
要医治那城里的病人, 对他们说: ‘神的国临近你们了. ’

10:10 But into whatever town you enter and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say,
无论进哪一城, 人若不接待你们, 你们就到街上去,

10:11 “Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you! Nevertheless know this: that the kingdom of God has come near!”
说: ‘就是你们城里的尘土黏在我们的脚上, 我们也当着你们擦去. 虽然如此, 你们该知道神的国临近了. ’

10:12 I tell you that it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town!
我告诉你们, 当审判的日子, 所多玛所受的, 比那城还容易受呢! ”

10:13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!
“哥拉汛哪, 你有祸了! 伯赛大啊, 你有祸了! 因为在你们中间所行的异能若行在泰尔,西顿, 他们早已披麻蒙灰, 坐在地上悔改了.

10:14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and for Sidon in the judgment than for you!
当审判的日子, 泰尔,西顿所受的, 比你们还容易受呢!

10:15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No! You will be brought down to Hades!
迦百农啊, 你已经升到天上(或译: 你将要升到天上吗), 将来必推下阴间. ”

10:16 The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me. But the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”
又对门徒说: “听从你们的就是听从我; 弃绝你们的就是弃绝我; 弃绝我的就是弃绝那差我来的. ”

10:17 And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
那七十个人欢欢喜喜地回来, 说: “主啊! 因你的名, 就是鬼也服了我们. ”

10:18 So he said to them, “I saw Satan falling like lightning from heaven.
耶稣对他们说: “我曾看见撒但从天上坠落, 像闪电一样.

10:19 Behold, I have given you the authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will ever harm you.
我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子, 又胜过仇敌一切的能力, 断没有甚么能害你们.

10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are inscribed in heaven.”
然而, 不要因鬼服了你们就欢喜, 要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜. ”

10:21 At that same time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to young children. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.
正当那时, 耶稣被圣灵感动就欢乐, 说: “父啊, 天地的主, 我感谢你! 因为你将这些事向聪明通达人就藏起来, 向婴孩就显出来. 父啊! 是的, 因为你的美意本是如此.

10:22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.”
一切所有的都是我父交付我的; 除了父, 没有人知道子是谁; 除了子和子所愿意指示的, 没有人知道父是谁. ”

10:23 And turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see!
耶稣转身暗暗地对门徒说: “看见你们所看见的, 那眼睛就有福了.

10:24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”
我告诉你们, 从前有许多先知和君王要看你们所看的, 却没有看见, 要听你们所听的, 却没有听见. ”

10:25 And behold, a certain legal expert stood up to test him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do so that I will inherit eternal life?”
有一个律法师起来试探耶稣, 说: “夫子! 我该做甚么才可以承受永生? ”

10:26 And he said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
耶稣对他说: “律法上写的是甚么? 你念的是怎样呢? ”

10:27 And he answered and said, “You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
他回答说: “你要尽心,尽性,尽力,尽意爱主─你的神; 又要爱邻舍如同自己. ”

10:28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.”
耶稣说: “你回答的是; 你这样行, 就必得永生. ”

10:29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
那人要显明自己有理, 就对耶稣说: “谁是我的邻舍呢? ”

10:30 And Jesus replied and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who both stripped him and beat him. After inflicting blows on him, they went away, leaving him half dead.
耶稣回答说: “有一个人从耶路撒冷下耶利哥去, 落在强盗手中. 他们剥去他的衣裳, 把他打个半死, 就丢下他走了.

10:31 Now by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.
偶然有一个祭司从这条路下来, 看见他就从那边过去了.

10:32 And in the same way also a Levite, when he came down to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side.
又有一个利未人来到这地方, 看见他, 也照样从那边过去了.

10:33 But a certain Samaritan who was traveling came up to him and, when he saw him, had compassion.
惟有一个撒马利亚人行路来到那里, 看见他就动了慈心,

10:34 And he came up and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine, and he put him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处, 包裹好了, 扶他骑上自己的牲口, 带到店里去照应他.

10:35 And on the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him, and whatever you spend in addition, I will repay to you when I return.
第二天拿出二钱银子来, 交给店主, 说: ‘你且照应他; 此外所费用的, 我回来必还你. ’

10:36 Which of these three do you suppose became a neighbor of the man who fell among the robbers?”
你想, 这三个人哪一个是落在强盗手中的邻舍呢? ”

10:37 So he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.” And Jesus said to him, “You go and do likewise.”
他说: “是怜悯他的. ”耶稣说: “你去照样行吧. ”

10:38 Now as they traveled along, he entered into a certain village. And a certain woman named Martha welcomed him.
他们走路的时候, 耶稣进了一个村庄. 有一个女人, 名叫马大, 接他到自己家里.

10:39 And she had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus and was listening to his teaching.
她有一个妹子, 名叫马利亚, 在耶稣脚前坐着听他的道.

10:40 But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached and said, “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!”
马大伺候的事多, 心里忙乱, 就进前来, 说: “主啊, 我的妹子留下我一个人伺候, 你不在意吗? 请吩咐她来帮助我. ”

10:41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things!
耶稣回答说: “马大! 马大! 你为许多的事思虑烦扰,

10:42 But few things are necessary, or only one thing, for Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”
但是不可少的只有一件; 马利亚已经选择那上好的福分, 是不能夺去的. ”

Luke - Chapter 11

11:1 And it happened that while he was in a certain place praying, when he stopped a certain one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
耶稣在一个地方祷告; 祷告完了, 有个门徒对他说: “求主教导我们祷告, 像约翰教导他的门徒. ”

11:2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say, “Father, may your name be treated as holy. May your kingdom come.
耶稣说: “你们祷告的时候, 要说: 我们在天上的父(有古卷: 父啊): 愿人都尊你的名为圣. 愿你的国降临; 愿你的旨意行在地上, 如同行在天上(有古卷没有愿你的旨意....).

11:3 Give us each day our daily bread.
我们日用的饮食, 天天赐给我们.

11:4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation.”
赦免我们的罪, 因为我们也赦免凡亏欠我们的人. 不叫我们遇见试探; 救我们脱离凶恶(有古卷没有末句). ”

11:5 And he said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
耶稣又说: “你们中间谁有一个朋友半夜到他那里去, 说: ‘朋友! 请借给我三个饼;

11:6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
因为我有一个朋友行路, 来到我这里, 我没有甚么给他摆上. ’

11:7 And that one will answer from inside and say, ‘Do not cause me trouble! The door has already been shut and my children are with me in bed! I am not able to get up to give you anything.’
那人在里面回答说: ‘不要搅扰我, 门已经关闭, 孩子们也同我在床上了, 我不能起来给你. ’

11:8 I tell you, even if he does not give him anything after he gets up because he is his friend, at any rate because of his impudence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
我告诉你们, 虽不因他是朋友起来给他, 但因他情词迫切地直求, 就必起来照他所需用的给他.

11:9 And I tell you, ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened for you.
我又告诉你们, 你们祈求, 就给你们; 寻找, 就寻见; 叩门, 就给你们开门.

11:10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
因为, 凡祈求的, 就得着; 寻找的, 就寻见; 叩门的, 就给他开门.

11:11 But what father from among you, if his son will ask for a fish, instead of a fish will give him a snake?
你们中间作父亲的, 谁有儿子求饼, 反给他石头呢? 求鱼, 反拿蛇当鱼给他呢?

11:12 Or also, if he will ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
求鸡蛋, 反给他蝎子呢?

11:13 Therefore if you, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
你们虽然不好, 尚且知道拿好东西给儿女; 何况天父, 岂不更将圣灵给求他的人吗? ”

11:14 And he was expelling a mute demon. Now it happened that when the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished.
耶稣赶出一个叫人哑巴的鬼; 鬼出去了, 哑巴就说出话来; 众人都希奇.

11:15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul the ruler of demons he expels demons!”
内中却有人说: “他是靠着鬼王别西卜赶鬼. ”

11:16 And others, in order to test him, were demanding from him a sign from heaven.
又有人试探耶稣, 向他求从天上来的神蹟.

11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
他晓得他们的意念, 便对他们说: “凡一国自相纷争, 就成为荒场; 凡一家自相纷争, 就必败落.

11:18 So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I expel demons by Beelzebul.
若撒但自相纷争, 他的国怎能站得住呢? 因为你们说我是靠着别西卜赶鬼.

11:19 But if I expel demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons expel them? For this reason they will be your judges!
我若靠着别西卜赶鬼, 你们的子弟赶鬼又靠着谁呢? 这样, 他们就要断定你们的是非.

11:20 But if I expel demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you!
我若靠着神的能力赶鬼, 这就是神的国临到你们了.

11:21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his possessions are safe.
壮士披挂整齐, 看守自己的住宅, 他所有的都平安无事;

11:22 But when a stronger man attacks him and conquers him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted and distributes his plunder.
但有一个比他更壮的来, 胜过他, 就夺去他所倚靠的盔甲兵器, 又分了他的赃.

11:23 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
不与我相合的, 就是敌我的; 不同我收聚的, 就是分散的. ”

11:24 “Whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find it. It says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
“污鬼离了人身, 就在无水之地过来过去, 寻求安歇之处; 既寻不著, 便说: ‘我要回到我所出来的屋里去. ’

11:25 And when it arrives it finds the house swept and put in order.
到了, 就看见里面打扫干净, 修饰好了,

11:26 Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that person becomes worse than the first!”
便去另带了七个比自己更恶的鬼来, 都进去住在那里. 那人末后的景况比先前更不好了. ”

11:27 Now it happened that as he said these things, a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”
耶稣正说这话的时候, 众人中间有一个女人大声说: “怀你胎的和乳养你的有福了! ”

11:28 But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it!”
耶稣说: “是, 却还不如听神之道而遵守的人有福. ”

11:29 And as the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation! It demands a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah!
当众人聚集的时候, 耶稣开讲说: “这世代是一个邪恶的世代. 他们求看神蹟, 除了约拿的神蹟以外, 再没有神蹟给他们看.

11:30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.
约拿怎样为尼尼微人成了神蹟, 人子也要照样为这世代的人成了神蹟.

11:31 The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here!
当审判的时候, 南方的女王要起来定这世代的罪; 因为她从地极而来, 要听所罗门的智慧话. 看哪! 在这里有一人比所罗门更大.

11:32 The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here!
当审判的时候, 尼尼微人要起来定这世代的罪, 因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了. 看哪! 在这里有一人比约拿更大. ”

11:33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
“没有人点灯放在地窨子里, 或是斗底下, 总是放在灯台上, 使进来的人得见亮光.

11:34 Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is sincere, your whole body is full of light also. But when it is evil, your body is dark also.
你眼睛就是身上的灯. 你的眼睛若了亮, 全身就光明; 眼睛若昏花, 全身就黑暗.

11:35 Therefore pay careful attention that the light in you is not darkness!
所以, 你要省察, 恐怕你里头的光或者黑暗了.

11:36 If therefore your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, it will be completely full of light, as when the lamp with its light gives light to you.”
若是你全身光明, 毫无黑暗, 就必全然光明, 如同灯的明光照亮你. ”

11:37 And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to have a meal with him, and he went in and reclined at table.
说话的时候, 有一个法利赛人请耶稣同他吃饭, 耶稣就进去坐席.

11:38 And the Pharisee, when he saw it, was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal.
这法利赛人看见耶稣饭前不洗手便诧异.

11:39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inside is full of greediness and wickedness.
主对他说: “如今你们法利赛人洗净杯盘的外面, 你们里面却满了勒索和邪恶.

11:40 Fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?
无知的人哪, 造外面的, 不也造里面吗?

11:41 But give as charitable giving the things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
只要把里面的施舍给人, 凡物于你们就都洁净了.

11:42 “But woe to you, Pharisees, because you pay a tenth of mint and rue and every garden herb, and neglect justice and love for God! But it was necessary to do these things without neglecting those things also.
“你们法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们将薄荷,芸香并各样菜蔬献上十分之一, 那公义和爱神的事反倒不行了. 这原是你们当行的; 那也是不可不行的.

11:43 Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the best seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces!
你们法利赛人有祸了! 因为你们喜爱会堂里的首位, 又喜爱人在街市上问你们的安.

11:44 Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it!
你们有祸了! 因为你们如同不显露的坟墓, 走在上面的人并不知道. ”

11:45 And one of the legal experts answered and said to him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also!”
律法师中有一个回答耶稣说: “夫子! 你这样说也把我们糟蹋了. ”

11:46 So he said, “Woe to you also, legal experts, because you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers!
耶稣说: “你们律法师也有祸了! 因为你们把难担的担子放在人身上, 自己一个指头却不肯动.

11:47 Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them!
你们有祸了! 因为你们修造先知的坟墓, 那先知正是你们的祖宗所杀的.

11:48 As a result you are witnesses, and you approve of the deeds of your fathers, because they killed them and you build their tombs!
可见你们祖宗所做的事, 你们又证明又喜欢; 因为他们杀了先知, 你们修造先知的坟墓.

11:49 For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
所以神用智慧(用智慧: 或译的智者)曾说: ‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去, 有的他们要杀害, 有的他们要逼迫’,

11:50 so that the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
使创世以来所流众先知血的罪都要问在这世代的人身上,

11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation!
就是从亚伯的血起, 直到被杀在坛和殿中间撒迦利亚的血为止. 我实在告诉你们, 这都要问在这世代的人身上.

11:52 Woe to you, legal experts, because you have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering!”
你们律法师有祸了! 因为你们把知识的钥匙夺了去, 自己不进去, 正要进去的人你们也阻挡他们. ”

11:53 And when he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many things,
耶稣从那里出来, 文士和法利赛人就极力地催逼他, 引动他多说话,

11:54 plotting to catch him with reference to something he might say.
私下窥听, 要拿他的话柄.

Luke - Chapter 12

12:1 During this time when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware for yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
这时, 有几万人聚集, 甚至彼此践踏. 耶稣开讲, 先对门徒说: “你们要防备法利赛人的酵, 就是假冒为善.

12:2 But nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and secret that will not be made known.
掩盖的事没有不露出来的; 隐藏的事没有不被人知道的.

12:3 Therefore everything that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
因此, 你们在暗中所说的, 将要在明处被人听见; 在内室附耳所说的, 将要在房上被人宣扬. ”

12:4 “And I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things do not have anything more to do.
“我的朋友, 我对你们说, 那杀身体以后不能再做甚么的, 不要怕他们.

12:5 But I will show you whom you should fear: fear the one who has authority, after the killing, to throw you into hell! Yes, I tell you, fear this one!
我要指示你们当怕的是谁: 当怕那杀了以后又有权柄丢在地狱里的. 我实在告诉你们, 正要怕他.

12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
五个麻雀不是卖二分银子吗? 但在神面前, 一个也不忘记;

12:7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered! Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
就是你们的头发, 也都被数过了. 不要惧怕, 你们比许多麻雀还贵重! ”

12:8 “And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before people, the Son of Man also will acknowledge him before the angels of God,
“我又告诉你们, 凡在人面前认我的, 人子在神的使者面前也必认他;

12:9 but the one who denies me before people will be denied before the angels of God.
在人面前不认我的, 人子在神的使者面前也必不认他.

12:10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
凡说话干犯人子的, 还可得赦免; 惟独亵渎圣灵的, 总不得赦免.

12:11 But when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you should speak in your own defense or what you should say,
人带你们到会堂, 并官府和有权柄的人面前, 不要思虑怎么分诉, 说甚么话;

12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what it is necessary to say.”
因为正在那时候, 圣灵要指教你们当说的话. ”

12:13 Now someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me!”
众人中有一个人对耶稣说: “夫子! 请你吩咐我的兄长和我分开家业. ”

12:14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
耶稣说: “你这个人! 谁立我作你们断事的官, 给你们分家业呢? ”

12:15 And he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourselves from all greediness, because not even when someone has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”
于是对众人说: “你们要谨慎自守, 免去一切的贪心, 因为人的生命不在乎家道丰富. ”

12:16 And he told a parable to them, saying, “The land of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.
就用比喻对他们说: “有一个财主田产丰盛;

12:17 And he reasoned to himself, saying, ‘What should I do? For I do not have anywhere I can gather in my crops.’
自己心里思想说: ‘我的出产没有地方收藏, 怎么办呢? ’

12:18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and I will gather in there all my grain and possessions.
又说: ‘我要这么办: 要把我的仓房拆了, 另盖更大的, 在那里好收藏我一切的粮食和财物,

12:19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many possessions stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, celebrate!” ’
然后要对我的灵魂说: 灵魂哪, 你有许多财物积存, 可作多年的费用, 只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧! ’

12:20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your life is demanded from you, and the things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
神却对他说: ‘无知的人哪, 今夜必要你的灵魂; 你所预备的要归谁呢? ’

12:21 So is the one who stores up treasure for himself, and who is not rich toward God!”
凡为自己积财, 在神面前却不富足的, 也是这样. ”

12:22 And he said to his disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or for your body, what you will wear.
耶稣又对门徒说: “所以我告诉你们, 不要为生命忧虑吃甚么, 为身体忧虑穿甚么;

12:23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
因为生命胜于饮食, 身体胜于衣裳.

12:24 Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; to them there is neither storeroom nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you worth than the birds?
你想乌鸦, 也不种也不收, 又没有仓又没有库, 神尚且养活牠. 你们比飞鸟是何等地贵重呢!

12:25 And which of you by being anxious is able to add an hour to his life span?
你们哪一个能用思虑使寿数多加一刻呢(或译: 使身量多加一肘呢)?

12:26 If then you are not even able to do a very little thing, why are you anxious about the rest?
这最小的事, 你们尚且不能做, 为甚么还忧虑其余的事呢?

12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil or spin, but I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.
你想百合花怎么长起来; 它也不劳苦, 也不纺线. 然而我告诉你们, 就是所罗门极荣华的时候, 他所穿戴的, 还不如这花一朵呢!

12:28 But if God clothes the grass in the field in this way, although it is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he do so for you, you of little faith?
你们这小信的人哪, 野地里的草今天还在, 明天就丢在炉里, 神还给它这样的妆饰, 何况你们呢!

12:29 And you, do not consider what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
你们不要求吃甚么, 喝甚么, 也不要挂心;

12:30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need these things.
这都是外邦人所求的. 你们必须用这些东西, 你们的父是知道的.

12:31 But seek his kingdom and these things will be added to you.
你们只要求他的国, 这些东西就必加给你们了.

12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
你们这小群, 不要惧怕, 因为你们的父乐意把国赐给你们.

12:33 Sell your possessions and give charitable gifts. Make for yourselves money bags that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven where thief does not approach or moth destroy.
你们要变卖所有的赒济人, 为自己预备永不坏的钱囊, 用不尽的财宝在天上, 就是贼不能近,虫不能蛀的地方.

12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
因为, 你们的财宝在哪里, 你们的心也在那里. ”

12:35 “You must be prepared for action and your lamps burning.
“你们腰里要束上带, 灯也要点着,

12:36 And you, be like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that when he comes back and knocks, they can open the door for him immediately.
自己好像仆人等候主人从婚姻的筵席上回来. 他来到, 叩门, 就立刻给他开门.

12:37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he returns! Truly I say to you that he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table and will come by and serve them.
主人来了, 看见仆人警醒, 那仆人就有福了. 我实在告诉你们, 主人必叫他们坐席, 自己束上带, 进前伺候他们.

12:38 Even if he should come back in the second or in the third watch of the night and find them like this, blessed are they!
或是二更天来, 或是三更天来, 看见仆人这样, 那仆人就有福了.

12:39 But understand this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.
家主若知道贼甚么时候来, 就必警醒, 不容贼挖透房屋, 这是你们所知道的.

12:40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think he will come.”
你们也要预备; 因为你们想不到的时候, 人子就来了. ”

12:41 And Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us, or also for everyone?”
彼得说: “主啊, 这比喻是为我们说的呢? 还是为众人呢? ”

12:42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful wise manager whom the master will put in charge over his servants to give them their food allowance at the right time?
主说: “谁是那忠心有见识的管家, 主人派他管理家里的人, 按时分粮给他们呢?

12:43 Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes back.
主人来到, 看见仆人这样行, 那仆人就有福了.

12:44 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
我实在告诉你们, 主人要派他管理一切所有的.

12:45 But if that slave should say to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time to return,’ and he begins to beat the male slaves and the female slaves and to eat and drink and get drunk,
那仆人若心里说: ‘我的主人必来得迟’, 就动手打仆人和使女, 并且吃喝醉酒;

12:46 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two and assign his place with the unbelievers.
在他想不到的日子, 不知道的时辰, 那仆人的主人要来, 重重地处治他(或译: 把他腰斩了), 定他和不忠心的人同罪.

12:47 And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will will be given a severe beating.
仆人知道主人的意思, 却不预备, 又不顺他的意思行, 那仆人必多受责打;

12:48 But the one who did not know and did things deserving blows will be given a light beating. And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask him for even more.
惟有那不知道的, 做了当受责打的事, 必少受责打; 因为多给谁, 就向谁多取; 多托谁, 就向谁多要. ”

12:49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish that it had been kindled already!
“我来要把火丢在地上, 倘若已经著起来, 不也是我所愿意的吗?

12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is accomplished!
我有当受的洗还没有成就, 我是何等地迫切呢?

12:51 Do you think that I have come to grant peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
你们以为我来, 是叫地上太平吗? 我告诉你们, 不是, 乃是叫人纷争.

12:52 For from now on there will be five in one household, divided three against two and two against three.
从今以后, 一家五个人将要纷争: 三个人和两个人相争, 两个人和三个人相争;

12:53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
父亲和儿子相争, 儿子和父亲相争; 母亲和女儿相争, 女儿和母亲相争; 婆婆和媳妇相争, 媳妇和婆婆相争. ”

12:54 And he also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud coming up in the west, you say at once, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and so it happens.
耶稣又对众人说: “你们看见西边起了云彩, 就说: ‘要下一阵雨’; 果然就有.

12:55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be burning heat,’ and it happens.
起了南风, 就说: ‘将要燥热’; 也就有了.

12:56 Hypocrites! You know how to evaluate the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it you do not know how to evaluate this present time?
假冒为善的人哪, 你们知道分辨天地的气色, 怎么不知道分辨这时候呢? ”

12:57 And why do you not also judge for yourselves what is right?
“你们又为何不自己审量甚么是合理的呢?

12:58 For as you are going with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to come to a settlement with him on the way, so that he will not drag you to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the bailiff, and the bailiff will throw you into prison.
你同告你的对头去见官, 还在路上, 务要尽力地和他了结; 恐怕他拉你到官面前, 官交付差役, 差役把你下在监里.

12:59 I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid back even the last cent!”
我告诉你, 若有半文钱没有还清, 你断不能从那里出来. ”

Luke - Chapter 13

13:1 Now at the same time some had come to tell him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
正当那时, 有人将彼拉多使加利利人的血搀杂在他们祭物中的事告诉耶稣.

13:2 And he answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were sinners worse than all the Galileans, because they suffered these things?
耶稣说: “你们以为这些加利利人比众加利利人更有罪, 所以受这害吗?

13:3 No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish as well!
我告诉你们, 不是的! 你们若不悔改, 都要如此灭亡!

13:4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were sinners worse than all the people who live in Jerusalem?
从前西罗亚楼倒塌了, 压死十八个人; 你们以为那些人比一切住在耶路撒冷的人更有罪吗?

13:5 No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!”
我告诉你们, 不是的! 你们若不悔改, 都要如此灭亡! ”

13:6 And he told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.
于是用比喻说: “一个人有一棵无花果树栽在葡萄园里. 他来到树前找果子, 却找不著.

13:7 So he said to the gardener, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find any. Cut it down! Why should it even exhaust the soil?’
就对管园的说: ‘看哪, 我这三年来到这无花果树前找果子, 竟找不著. 把它砍了吧, 何必白占地土呢! ’

13:8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put manure on it.
管园的说: ‘主啊, 今年且留着, 等我周围掘开土, 加上粪;

13:9 And if indeed it produces fruit in the coming year, so much the better, but if not, you can cut it down.’ ”
以后若结果子便罢, 不然再把它砍了. ’”

13:10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
安息日, 耶稣在会堂里教训人.

13:11 And behold, a woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years, and she was bent over and not able to straighten herself up completely.
有一个女人被鬼附着, 病了十八年, 腰弯得一点直不起来.

13:12 And when he saw her, Jesus summoned her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability!”
耶稣看见, 便叫过她来, 对她说: “女人, 你脱离这病了! ”

13:13 And he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and glorified God.
于是用两只手按著她; 她立刻直起腰来, 就归荣耀与神.

13:14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, answered and said to the crowd, “There are six days on which it is necessary to work. Therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the day of the Sabbath!”
管会堂的因为耶稣在安息日治病, 就气忿忿地对众人说: “有六日应当做工; 那六日之内可以来求医, 在安息日却不可. ”

13:15 But the Lord answered and said to him, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you untie his ox or his donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it away to water it?
主说: “假冒为善的人哪, 难道你们各人在安息日不解开槽上的牛,驴, 牵去饮吗?

13:16 And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound eighteen long years—is it not necessary that she be released from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?”
况且这女人本是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 被撒但捆绑了这十八年, 不当在安息日解开她的绑吗? ”

13:17 And when he said these things, all those who opposed him were humiliated, and the whole crowd was rejoicing at all the splendid things that were being done by him.
耶稣说这话, 他的敌人都惭愧了; 众人因他所行一切荣耀的事, 就都欢喜了.

13:18 Therefore he said, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
耶稣说: “神的国好像甚么? 我拿甚么来比较呢?

13:19 It is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”
好像一粒芥菜种, 有人拿去种在园子里, 长大成树, 天上的飞鸟宿在它的枝上. ”

13:20 And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
又说: “我拿甚么来比神的国呢?

13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and hid in three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”
好比面酵, 有妇人拿来藏在三斗面里, 直等全团都发起来. ”

13:22 And he was going throughout towns and villages, teaching and making his journey toward Jerusalem.
耶稣往耶路撒冷去, 在所经过的各城各乡教训人.

13:23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are there only a few who are saved?” And he said to them,
有一个人问他说: “主啊, 得救的人少吗? ”

13:24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to,
耶稣对众人说: “你们要努力进窄门. 我告诉你们, 将来有许多人想要进去, 却是不能.

13:25 when once the master of the house has gotten up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ And he will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from!’
及至家主起来关了门, 你们站在外面叩门, 说: ‘主啊, 给我们开门! ’他就回答说: ‘我不认识你们, 不晓得你们是哪里来的! ’

13:26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets!’
那时, 你们要说: ‘我们在你面前吃过喝过, 你也在我们的街上教训过人. ’

13:27 And he will reply, saying to you, ‘I do not know where you are from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!’
他要说: ‘我告诉你们, 我不晓得你们是哪里来的. 你们这一切作恶的人, 离开我去吧! ’

13:28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside!
你们要看见亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各, 和众先知都在神的国里, 你们却被赶到外面, 在那里必要哀哭切齿了.

13:29 And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
从东,从西,从南,从北将有人来, 在神的国里坐席.

13:30 And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
只是有在后的, 将要在前; 有在前的, 将要在后. ”

13:31 At that same hour some Pharisees came up and said to him, “Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!”
正当那时, 有几个法利赛人来对耶稣说: “离开这里去吧, 因为希律想要杀你. ”

13:32 And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I am expelling demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’
耶稣说: “你们去告诉那个狐狸说: ‘今天,明天我赶鬼治病, 第三天我的事就成全了. ’

13:33 Nevertheless, it is necessary for me to be on the way today and tomorrow and on the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.
虽然这样, 今天,明天,后天, 我必须前行, 因为先知在耶路撒冷之外丧命是不能的.

13:34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you were not willing!
耶路撒冷啊! 耶路撒冷啊! 你常杀害先知, 又用石头打死那奉差遣到你这里来的人. 我多次愿意聚集你的儿女, 好像母鸡把小鸡聚集在翅膀底下; 只是你们不愿意.

13:35 Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until the time will come when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
看哪, 你们的家成为荒场留给你们. 我告诉你们, 从今以后你们不得再见我, 直等到你们说: ‘奉主名来的是应当称颂的. ’”

Luke - Chapter 14

14:1 And it happened that when he came to the house of a certain one of the leaders of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat a meal, they were watching him closely.
安息日, 耶稣到一个法利赛人的首领家里去吃饭, 他们就窥探他.

14:2 And behold, a certain man was in front of him, suffering from edema.
在他面前有一个患水臌的人.

14:3 And Jesus answered and said to the legal experts and Pharisees, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”
耶稣对律法师和法利赛人说: “安息日治病可以不可以? ”

14:4 But they remained silent. And he took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.
他们却不言语. 耶稣就治好那人, 叫他走了;

14:5 And he said to them, “Who among you, if your son or your ox falls into a well on the day of the Sabbath, will not immediately pull him out?”
便对他们说: “你们中间谁有驴或有牛, 在安息日掉在井里, 不立时拉牠上来呢? ”

14:6 And they were not able to make a reply to these things.
他们不能对答这话.

14:7 Now he told a parable to those who had been invited when he noticed how they were choosing for themselves the places of honor, saying to them,
耶稣见所请的客拣择首位, 就用比喻对他们说:

14:8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline at the table in the place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you has been invited by him,
“你被人请去赴婚姻的筵席, 不要坐在首位上, 恐怕有比你尊贵的客被他请来;

14:9 and the one who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give the place to this person,’ and then with shame you will begin to take the last place.
那请你们的人前来对你说: ‘让座给这一位吧! ’你就羞羞惭惭地退到末位上去了.

14:10 But when you are invited, go and recline at the table in the last place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then it will be an honor to you in the presence of all those who are reclining at the table with you.
你被请的时候, 就去坐在末位上, 好叫那请你的人来对你说: ‘朋友, 请上座. ’那时, 你在同席的人面前就有光彩了.

14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
因为, 凡自高的, 必降为卑; 自卑的, 必升为高. ”

14:12 And he also said to the one who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or wealthy neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you.
耶稣又对请他的人说: “你摆设午饭或晚饭, 不要请你的朋友,弟兄,亲属, 和富足的邻舍, 恐怕他们也请你, 你就得了报答.

14:13 But whenever you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
你摆设筵席, 倒要请那贫穷的,残废的,瘸腿的,瞎眼的, 你就有福了!

14:14 and you will be blessed, because they are not able to repay you. For it will be paid back to you at the resurrection of the righteous.”
因为他们没有甚么可报答你. 到义人复活的时候, 你要得着报答. ”

14:15 Now when one of those reclining at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”
同席的有一人听见这话, 就对耶稣说: “在神国里吃饭的有福了! ”

14:16 But he said to him, “A certain man was giving a large banquet and invited many.
耶稣对他说: “有一人摆设大筵席, 请了许多客.

14:17 And he sent his slave at the hour of the banquet to say to those who have been invited, ‘Come, because now it is ready!’
到了坐席的时候, 打发仆人去对所请的人说: ‘请来吧! 样样都齐备了. ’

14:18 And they all alike began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, ‘I have purchased a field, and I must go out to look at it. I ask you, consider me excused.’
众人一口同音地推辞. 头一个说: ‘我买了一块地, 必须去看看. 请你准我辞了. ’

14:19 And another said, ‘I have purchased five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you, consider me excused.’
又有一个说: ‘我买了五对牛, 要去试一试. 请你准我辞了. ’

14:20 And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and for this reason I am not able to come.’
又有一个说: ‘我才娶了妻, 所以不能去. ’

14:21 And the slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame!’
那仆人回来, 把这事都告诉了主人. 家主就动怒, 对仆人说: ‘快出去, 到城里大街小巷, 领那贫穷的,残废的,瞎眼的,瘸腿的来. ’

14:22 And the slave said, ‘Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
仆人说: ‘主啊, 你所吩咐的已经办了, 还有空座. ’

14:23 And the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges and press them to come in, so that my house will be filled!
主人对仆人说: ‘你出去到路上和篱笆那里, 勉强人进来, 坐满我的屋子.

14:24 For I say to you that none of those persons who were invited will taste my banquet!’ ”
我告诉你们, 先前所请的人没有一个得尝我的筵席. ’”

14:25 Now large crowds were going along with him, and he turned around and said to them,
有极多的人和耶稣同行. 他转过来对他们说:

14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and furthermore, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
“人到我这里来, 若不爱我胜过爱(爱我胜过爱: 原文是恨)自己的父母,妻子,儿女,弟兄,姊妹, 和自己的性命, 就不能作我的门徒.

14:27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
凡不背着自己十字架跟从我的, 也不能作我的门徒.

14:28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?
你们哪一个要盖一座楼, 不先坐下算计花费, 能盖成不能呢?

14:29 Otherwise after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all who see it will begin to ridicule him,
恐怕安了地基, 不能成功, 看见的人都笑话他, 说:

14:30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
‘这个人开了工, 却不能完工. ’

14:31 Or what king, going out to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand.
或是一个王出去和别的王打仗, 岂不先坐下酌量, 能用一万兵去敌那领二万兵来攻打他的吗?

14:32 But if not, while the other is still far away, he sends an ambassador and asks for terms of peace.
若是不能, 就趁敌人还远的时候, 派使者去求和息的条款.

14:33 In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
这样, 你们无论甚么人, 若不撇下一切所有的, 就不能作我的门徒. ”

14:34 “Now salt is good, but if salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be made salty?
“盐本是好的; 盐若失了味, 可用甚么叫它再咸呢?

14:35 It is usable neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; they throw it out. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
或用在田里, 或堆在粪里, 都不合式, 只好丢在外面. 有耳可听的, 就应当听! ”

Luke - Chapter 15

15:1 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were drawing near to hear him.
众税吏和罪人都挨近耶稣, 要听他讲道.

15:2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes were complaining, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them!”
法利赛人和文士私下议论说: “这个人接待罪人, 又同他们吃饭. ”

15:3 So he told them this parable, saying,
耶稣就用比喻说:

15:4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the grassland and go after the one that was lost until he finds it?
“你们中间谁有一百只羊失去一只, 不把这九十九只撇在旷野,去找那失去的羊, 直到找著呢?

15:5 And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
找著了, 就欢欢喜喜地扛在肩上, 回到家里,

15:6 And when he returns to his home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
就请朋友邻舍来, 对他们说: ‘我失去的羊已经找著了, 你们和我一同欢喜吧! ’

15:7 I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
我告诉你们, 一个罪人悔改, 在天上也要这样为他欢喜, 较比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢喜更大. ”

15:8 Or what woman who has ten drachmas, if she loses one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
“或是一个妇人有十块钱, 若失落一块, 岂不点上灯, 打扫屋子, 细细地找, 直到找著吗?

15:9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the drachma that I had lost!’
找著了, 就请朋友邻舍来, 对他们说: ‘我失落的那块钱已经找著了, 你们和我一同欢喜吧! ’

15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
我告诉你们, 一个罪人悔改, 在神的使者面前也是这样为他欢喜. ”

15:11 And he said, “A certain man had two sons.
耶稣又说: “一个人有两个儿子.

15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that is coming to me.’ So he divided his assets between them.
小儿子对父亲说: ‘父亲, 请你把我应得的家业分给我. ’他父亲就把产业分给他们.

15:13 And after not many days, the younger son gathered everything and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth by living wastefully.
过了不多几日, 小儿子就把他一切所有的都收拾起来, 往远方去了. 在那里任意放荡, 浪费资财.

15:14 And after he had spent everything, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
既耗尽了一切所有的, 又遇着那地方大遭饥荒, 就穷苦起来.

15:15 And he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
于是去投靠那地方的一个人; 那人打发他到田里去放猪.

15:16 And he was longing to fill his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.
他恨不得拿猪所吃的豆荚充饥, 也没有人给他.

15:17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have an abundance of food, and I am dying here from hunger!
他醒悟过来, 就说: ‘我父亲有多少的雇工, 口粮有余, 我倒在这里饿死吗?

15:18 I will set out and go to my father and will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight!
我要起来, 到我父亲那里去, 向他说: 父亲! 我得罪了天, 又得罪了你;

15:19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son! Make me like one of your hired workers.’
从今以后, 我不配称为你的儿子, 把我当作一个雇工吧! ’

15:20 And he set out and came to his own father. But while he was still a long way away, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
于是起来, 往他父亲那里去. 相离还远, 他父亲看见, 就动了慈心, 跑去抱着他的颈项, 连连与他亲嘴.

15:21 And his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight! I am no longer worthy to be called your son!’
儿子说: ‘父亲! 我得罪了天, 又得罪了你; 从今以后, 我不配称为你的儿子. ’

15:22 But his father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet!
父亲却吩咐仆人说: ‘把那上好的袍子快拿出来给他穿; 把戒指戴在他指头上; 把鞋穿在他脚上;

15:23 And bring the fattened calf—kill it and let us eat and celebrate,
把那肥牛犊牵来宰了, 我们可以吃喝快乐;

15:24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate.
因为我这个儿子是死而复活, 失而又得的. ’他们就快乐起来.

15:25 “Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
那时, 大儿子正在田里. 他回来, 离家不远, 听见作乐跳舞的声音,

15:26 And he summoned one of the slaves and asked what these things meant.
便叫过一个仆人来, 问是甚么事.

15:27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has gotten him back healthy.’
仆人说: ‘你兄弟来了; 你父亲因为得他无灾无病地回来, 把肥牛犊宰了. ’

15:28 But he became angry and did not want to go in. So his father came out and began to implore him.
大儿子却生气, 不肯进去; 他父亲就出来劝他.

15:29 But he answered and said to his father, ‘Behold, so many years I have served you, and have never disobeyed your command! And you never gave me a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!
他对父亲说: ‘我服事你这多年, 从来没有违背过你的命, 你并没有给我一只山羊羔, 叫我和朋友一同快乐.

15:30 But when this son of yours returned—who has consumed your assets with prostitutes—you killed the fattened calf for him!’
但你这个儿子和娼妓吞尽了你的产业, 他一来了, 你倒为他宰了肥牛犊. ’

15:31 But he said to him, ‘Child, you are always with me, and everything I have belongs to you.
父亲对他说: ‘儿啊! 你常和我同在, 我一切所有的都是你的;

15:32 But it was necessary to celebrate and to rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead, and is alive, and was lost, and is found!’ ”
只是你这个兄弟是死而复活,失而又得的, 所以我们理当欢喜快乐. ’”

Luke - Chapter 16

16:1 And he also said to the disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a manager. And charges were brought to him that this person was squandering his possessions.
耶稣又对门徒说: “有一个财主的管家, 别人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物.

16:2 And he summoned him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your management, because you can no longer manage.’
主人叫他来, 对他说: ‘我听见你这事怎么样呢? 把你所经管的交代明白, 因你不能再作我的管家. ’

16:3 And the manager said to himself, ‘What should I do, because my master is taking away the management from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
那管家心里说: ‘主人辞我, 不用我再作管家, 我将来做甚么? 锄地呢? 无力; 讨饭呢? 怕羞.

16:4 I know what I should do, so that when I am removed from the management they will welcome me into their homes!’
我知道怎么行, 好叫人在我不作管家之后, 接我到他们家里去. ’

16:5 And he summoned each one of his own master’s debtors and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
于是把欠他主人债的, 一个一个地叫了来, 问头一个说: ‘你欠我主人多少? ’

16:6 And he said, ‘A hundred measures of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your promissory note and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
他说: ‘一百篓(每篓约五十斤)油. ’管家说: ‘拿你的帐, 快坐下, 写五十. ’

16:7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your promissory note and write eighty.’
又问一个说: ‘你欠多少? ’他说: ‘一百石麦子. ’管家说: ‘拿你的帐, 写八十. ’

16:8 And the master praised the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are shrewder than the sons of light with regard to their own generation.
主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事聪明; 因为今世之子, 在世事之上, 较比光明之子更加聪明.

16:9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it runs out they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings.
我又告诉你们, 要藉著那不义的钱财结交朋友, 到了钱财无用的时候, 他们可以接你们到永存的帐幕里去.

16:10 “The one who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in much.
人在最小的事上忠心, 在大事上也忠心; 在最小的事上不义, 在大事上也不义.

16:11 If then you have not been faithful with unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?
倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心, 谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢?

16:12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you your own?
倘若你们在别人的东西上不忠心, 谁还把你们自己的东西给你们呢?

16:13 No domestic slave is able to serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and money.”
一个仆人不能事奉两个主; 不是恶这个爱那个, 就是重这个轻那个. 你们不能又事奉神, 又事奉玛门. ”

16:14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
法利赛人是贪爱钱财的; 他们听见这一切话, 就嗤笑耶稣.

16:15 And he said to them, “You are the ones who justify themselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts! For what is considered exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
耶稣对他们说: “你们是在人面前自称为义的, 你们的心, 神却知道; 因为人所尊贵的, 是神看为可憎恶的.

16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John; from that time on the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is urgently pressed into it.
律法和先知到约翰为止, 从此神国的福音传开了, 人人努力要进去.

16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to become invalid.
天地废去较比律法的一点一画落空还容易.

16:18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
凡休妻另娶的就是犯奸淫; 娶被休之妻的也是犯奸淫. ”

16:19 “Now a certain man was rich, and dressed in purple cloth and fine linen, feasting sumptuously every day.
“有一个财主穿着紫色袍和细麻布衣服, 天天奢华宴乐.

16:20 And a certain poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, lay at his gate,
又有一个讨饭的, 名叫拉撒路, 浑身生疮, 被人放在财主门口,

16:21 and was longing to be filled with what fell from the table of the rich man. But even the dogs came and licked his sores.
要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥; 并且狗来舔他的疮.

16:22 Now it happened that the poor man died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
后来那讨饭的死了, 被天使带去放在亚伯拉罕的怀里. 财主也死了, 并且埋葬了.

16:23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes as he was in torment and saw Abraham from a distance, and Lazarus at his side.
他在阴间受痛苦, 举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕, 又望见拉撒路在他怀里,

16:24 And he called out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he could dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering pain in this flame!’
就喊著说: ‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪, 可怜我吧! 打发拉撒路来, 用指头尖蘸点水, 凉凉我的舌头; 因为我在这火焰里, 极其痛苦. ’

16:25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you received your good things during your life, and Lazarus likewise bad things. But now he is comforted here, but you are suffering pain.
亚伯拉罕说: ‘儿啊, 你该回想你生前享过福, 拉撒路也受过苦; 如今他在这里得安慰, 你倒受痛苦.

16:26 And in addition to all these things, a great chasm has been established between us and you, so that those who want to cross over from here to you are not able to do so, nor can they cross over from there to us.’
不但这样, 并且在你我之间, 有深渊限定, 以致人要从这边过到你们那边是不能的; 要从那边过到我们这边也是不能的. ’

16:27 So he said, ‘Then I ask you, father, that you send him to my father’s house,
财主说: ‘我祖啊! 既是这样, 求你打发拉撒路到我父家去;

16:28 for I have five brothers, so that he could warn them, in order that they also should not come to this place of torment!’
因为我还有五个弟兄, 他可以对他们作见证, 免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方. ’

16:29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must listen to them.’
亚伯拉罕说: ‘他们有摩西和先知的话可以听从. ’

16:30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent!’
他说: ‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪, 不是的, 若有一个从死里复活的, 到他们那里去的, 他们必要悔改. ’

16:31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
亚伯拉罕说: ‘若不听从摩西和先知的话, 就是有一个从死里复活的, 他们也是不听劝. ’”

Luke - Chapter 17

17:1 And he said to his disciples, “It is impossible for causes for stumbling not to come, but woe to him through whom they come!
耶稣又对门徒说: “绊倒人的事是免不了的; 但那绊倒人的有祸了.

17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone is placed around his neck and he is thrown into the sea than that he causes one of these little ones to sin.
就是把磨石拴在这人的颈项上, 丢在海里, 还强如他把这小子里的一个绊倒了.

17:3 “Be concerned about yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
你们要谨慎! 若是你的弟兄得罪你, 就劝戒他; 他若懊悔, 就饶恕他.

17:4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times he returns to you saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
倘若他一天七次得罪你, 又七次回转, 说: ‘我懊悔了’, 你总要饶恕他. ”

17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
使徒对主说: “求主加增我们的信心. ”

17:6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
主说: “你们若有信心像一粒芥菜种, 就是对这棵桑树说: ‘你要拔起根来, 栽在海里’, 它也必听从你们.

17:7 “And which of you who has a slave plowing or shepherding sheep who comes in from the field will say to him, ‘Come here at once and recline at the table’?
你们谁有仆人耕地或是放羊, 从田里回来, 就对他说: ‘你快来坐下吃饭’呢?

17:8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something that I may eat, and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and after these things you will eat and drink.’
岂不对他说: ‘你给我预备晚饭, 束上带子伺候我, 等我吃喝完了, 你才可以吃喝’吗?

17:9 He will not be grateful to the slave because he did what was ordered, will he?
仆人照所吩咐的去做, 主人还谢谢他吗?

17:10 Thus you also, when you have done all the things you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done what we were obligated to do.’ ”
这样, 你们做完了一切所吩咐的, 只当说: ‘我们是无用的仆人, 所做的本是我们应分做的. ’”

17:11 And it happened that while traveling toward Jerusalem, he was passing through the region between Samaria and Galilee.
耶稣往耶路撒冷去, 经过撒马利亚和加利利.

17:12 And as he was entering into a certain village, ten men met him—lepers, who stood at a distance.
进入一个村子, 有十个长大痲疯的, 迎面而来, 远远地站着,

17:13 And they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
高声说: “耶稣, 夫子, 可怜我们吧! ”

17:14 And when he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
耶稣看见, 就对他们说: “你们去把身体给祭司察看. ”他们去的时候就洁净了.

17:15 But one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
内中有一个见自己已经好了, 就回来大声归荣耀与神,

17:16 And he fell on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him. And he was a Samaritan.
又俯伏在耶稣脚前感谢他; 这人是撒马利亚人.

17:17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were not ten cleansed? And where are the nine?
耶稣说: “洁净了的不是十个人吗? 那九个在哪里呢?

17:18 Was no one found to turn back and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
除了这外族人, 再没有别人回来归荣耀与神吗? ”

17:19 And he said to him, “Get up and go your way. Your faith has saved you.”
就对那人说: “起来, 走吧! 你的信救了你了. ”

17:20 Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with things that can be observed,
法利赛人问: “神的国几时来到? ”耶稣回答说: “神的国来到不是眼所能见的.

17:21 nor will they say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
人也不得说: ‘看哪, 在这里! 看哪, 在那里! ’因为神的国就在你们心里(心里: 或译中间). ”

17:22 And he said to the disciples, “Days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
他又对门徒说: “日子将到, 你们巴不得看见人子的一个日子, 却不得看见.

17:23 And they will say to you, ‘Behold, there!’ ‘Behold, here!’ Do not go out or run after them!
人将要对你们说: ‘看哪, 在那里! 看哪, 在这里! ’你们不要出去, 也不要跟随他们!

17:24 For just as the lightning shines forth, flashing from one place under heaven to another place under heaven, so the Son of Man will be in his day.
因为人子在他降临的日子, 好像闪电从天这边一闪直照到天那边.

17:25 But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.
只是他必须先受许多苦, 又被这世代弃绝.

17:26 And just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man—
挪亚的日子怎样, 人子的日子也要怎样.

17:27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
那时候的人又吃又喝, 又娶又嫁, 到挪亚进方舟的那日, 洪水就来, 把他们全都灭了.

17:28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building.
又好像罗得的日子; 人又吃又喝, 又买又卖, 又耕种又盖造.

17:29 But on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed them all.
到罗得出所多玛的那日, 就有火与硫磺从天上降下来, 把他们全都灭了.

17:30 It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
人子显现的日子也要这样.

17:31 On that day, whoever is on the housetop and his goods are in the house must not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field must not turn back
当那日, 人在房上, 器具在屋里, 不要下来拿; 人在田里, 也不要回家.

17:32 Remember Lot’s wife!
你们要回想罗得的妻子.

17:33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will keep it.
凡想要保全生命的, 必丧掉生命; 凡丧掉生命的, 必救活生命.

17:34 I tell you that in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
我对你们说, 当那一夜, 两个人在一个床上, 要取去一个, 撇下一个.

17:35 There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.”
两个女人一同推磨, 要取去一个, 撇下一个. (有古卷加:

17:36
两个人在田里, 要取去一个, 撇下一个. )”

17:37 And they answered and said to him, “Where, Lord?” So he said to them, “Where the dead body is, there also the vultures will be gathered.”
门徒说: “主啊, 在哪里有这事呢? ”耶稣说: “尸首在哪里, 鹰也必聚在那里. ”

Luke - Chapter 18

18:1 And he told them a parable to show that they must always pray and not be discouraged,
耶稣设一个比喻, 是要人常常祷告, 不可灰心.

18:2 saying, “There was a certain judge in a certain town who did not fear God and did not respect people.
说: “某城里有一个官, 不惧怕神, 也不尊重世人.

18:3 And there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary!’
那城里有个寡妇, 常到他那里, 说: ‘我有一个对头, 求你给我伸冤. ’

18:4 And he was not willing for a time, but after these things he said to himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God or respect people,
他多日不准, 后来心里说: ‘我虽不惧怕神, 也不尊重世人,

18:5 yet because this widow is causing trouble for me, I will grant her justice, so that she does not wear me down in the end by her coming back!’ ”
只因这寡妇烦扰我, 我就给她伸冤吧, 免得她常来缠磨我! ’”

18:6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge is saying!
主说: “你们听这不义之官所说的话.

18:7 And will not God surely see to it that justice is done to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, and will he delay toward them?
神的选民昼夜呼吁他, 他纵然为他们忍了多时, 岂不终久给他们伸冤吗?

18:8 I tell you that he will see to it that justice is done for them soon! Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, then will he find faith on earth?”
我告诉你们, 要快快地给他们伸冤了. 然而, 人子来的时候, 遇得见世上有信德吗? ”

18:9 And he also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on everyone else:
耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人, 藐视别人的, 设一个比喻,

18:10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
说: “有两个人上殿里去祷告: 一个是法利赛人, 一个是税吏.

18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things with reference to himself: ‘God, I give thanks to you that I am not like other people—swindlers, unrighteous people, adulterers, or even like this tax collector!
法利赛人站着, 自言自语地祷告说: ‘神啊, 我感谢你, 我不像别人勒索,不义,奸淫, 也不像这个税吏.

18:12 I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all that I get.’
我一个礼拜禁食两次, 凡我所得的都捐上十分之一. ’

18:13 But the tax collector, standing far away, did not want even to raise his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
那税吏远远地站着, 连举目望天也不敢, 只捶著胸说: ‘神啊, 开恩可怜我这个罪人! ’

18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that one! For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
我告诉你们, 这人回家去比那人倒算为义了; 因为, 凡自高的, 必降为卑; 自卑的, 必升为高. ”

18:15 Now they were bringing even their babies to him so that he could touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
有人抱着自己的婴孩来见耶稣, 要他摸他们; 门徒看见就责备那些人.

18:16 But Jesus called them to himself, saying, “Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
耶稣却叫他们来, 说: “让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们, 因为在神国的正是这样的人.

18:17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
我实在告诉你们, 凡要承受神国的, 若不像小孩子, 断不能进去. ”

18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, by doing what will I inherit eternal life?”
有一个官问耶稣说: “良善的夫子, 我该做甚么事才可以承受永生? ”

18:19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
耶稣对他说: “你为甚么称我是良善的? 除了神一位之外, 再没有良善的.

18:20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’ ”
诫命你是晓得的: ‘不可奸淫; 不可杀人; 不可偷盗; 不可作假见证; 当孝敬父母. ’”

18:21 And he said, “All these I have observed from my youth.”
那人说: “这一切我从小都遵守了. ”

18:22 And when he heard this, Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have, and distribute the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
耶稣听见了, 就说: “你还缺少一件: 要变卖你一切所有的, 分给穷人, 就必有财宝在天上; 你还要来跟从我. ”

18:23 But when he heard these things he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
他听见这话, 就甚忧愁, 因为他很富足.

18:24 And Jesus took notice of him and said, “How difficult it is for those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!
耶稣看见他, 就说: “有钱财的人进神的国是何等的难哪!

18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.
骆驼穿过针的眼比财主进神的国还容易呢! ”

18:26 So those who heard this said, “And who can be saved?”
听见的人说: “这样, 谁能得救呢? ”

18:27 But he said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
耶稣说: “在人所不能的事, 在神却能. ”

18:28 And Peter said, “Behold, we have left all that is ours and followed you.”
彼得说: “看哪, 我们已经撇下自己所有的跟从你了. ”

18:29 And he said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children on account of the kingdom of God,
耶稣说: “我实在告诉你们, 人为神的国撇下房屋, 或是妻子,弟兄,父母,儿女,

18:30 who will not receive many times more in this time and in the age to come, eternal life.”
没有在今世不得百倍, 在来世不得永生的. ”

18:31 And taking aside the twelve, he said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets with reference to the Son of Man will be accomplished.
耶稣带着十二个门徒, 对他们说: “看哪, 我们上耶路撒冷去, 先知所写的一切事都要成就在人子身上.

18:32 For he will be handed over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and mistreated and spit on,
他将要被交给外邦人; 他们要戏弄他, 凌辱他, 吐唾沫在他脸上,

18:33 and after flogging him they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise.”
并要鞭打他, 杀害他; 第三日他要复活. ”

18:34 And they understood none of these things, and this saying was concealed from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.
这些事门徒一样也不懂得, 意思乃是隐藏的; 他们不晓得所说的是甚么.

18:35 Now it happened that as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting on the side of the road begging.
耶稣将近耶利哥的时候, 有一个瞎子坐在路旁讨饭.

18:36 And when he heard a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant.
听见许多人经过, 就问是甚么事.

18:37 And they told him, “Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.”
他们告诉他, 是拿撒勒人耶稣经过.

18:38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
他就呼叫说: “大卫的子孙耶稣啊, 可怜我吧! ”

18:39 And those who were in front rebuked him, that he should be silent, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
在前头走的人就责备他, 不许他作声; 他却越发喊叫说: “大卫的子孙, 可怜我吧! ”

18:40 So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. And when he approached, he asked him,
耶稣站住, 吩咐把他领过来, 到了跟前, 就问他说:

18:41 “What do you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may regain my sight.
“你要我为你做甚么? ”他说: “主啊, 我要能看见. ”

18:42 And Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight! Your faith has saved you.”
耶稣说: “你可以看见! 你的信救了你了. ”

18:43 And immediately he regained his sight and began to follow him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
瞎子立刻看见了, 就跟随耶稣, 一路归荣耀与神. 众人看见这事, 也赞美神.

Luke - Chapter 19

19:1 And he entered and traveled through Jericho.
耶稣进了耶利哥, 正经过的时候,

19:2 And there was a man named Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
有一个人名叫撒该, 作税吏长, 是个财主.

19:3 And he was seeking to see Jesus—who he was—and he was not able to as a result of the crowd, because he was short in stature.
他要看看耶稣是怎样的人; 只因人多, 他的身量又矮, 所以不得看见,

19:4 And he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through that way.
就跑到前头, 爬上桑树, 要看耶稣, 因为耶稣必从那里经过.

19:5 And when he came to the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because it is necessary for me to stay at your house today!”
耶稣到了那里, 抬头一看, 对他说: “撒该, 快下来! 今天我必住在你家里. ”

19:6 And he came down quickly and welcomed him joyfully.
他就急忙下来, 欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣.

19:7 And when they saw it, they all began to complain, saying, “He has gone in to find lodging with a man who is a sinner!”
众人看见, 都私下议论说: “他竟到罪人家里去住宿. ”

19:8 And Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am paying it back four times as much!”
撒该站着对主说: “主啊, 我把所有的一半给穷人; 我若讹诈了谁, 就还他四倍. ”

19:9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.
耶稣说: “今天救恩到了这家, 因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙.

19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save those who are lost.”
人子来, 为要寻找,拯救失丧的人. ”

19:11 Now while they were listening to these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
众人正在听见这些话的时候, 耶稣因为将近耶路撒冷, 又因他们以为神的国快要显出来, 就另设一个比喻, 说:

19:12 Therefore he said, “A certain nobleman traveled to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
“有一个贵冑往远方去, 要得国回来,

19:13 And summoning ten of his own slaves, he gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business until I come back.’
便叫了他的十个仆人来, 交给他们十锭(锭: 原文是弥拿, 一弥拿约银十两)银子, 说: ‘你们去做生意, 直等我回来. ’

19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to be king over us!’
他本国的人却恨他, 打发使者随后去, 说: ‘我们不愿意这个人作我们的王. ’

19:15 And it happened that when he returned after receiving the kingdom, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned to him, so that he could know what they had gained by trading.
他既得国回来, 就吩咐叫那领银子的仆人来, 要知道他们做生意赚了多少.

19:16 So the first arrived, saying, ‘Sir, your mina has made ten minas more!’
头一个上来, 说: ‘主啊, 你的一锭银子已经赚了十锭. ’

19:17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very small thing, have authority over ten cities.’
主人说: ‘好! 良善的仆人, 你既在最小的事上有忠心, 可以有权柄管十座城. ’

19:18 And the second came, saying, ‘Sir, your mina has made five minas.’
第二个来, 说: ‘主啊, 你的一锭银子已经赚了五锭. ’

19:19 So he said to this one also, ‘And you be over five cities.’
主人说: ‘你也可以管五座城. ’

19:20 And another came, saying, ‘Sir, behold your mina, which I had put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.
又有一个来说: ‘主啊, 看哪, 你的一锭银子在这里, 我把它包在手巾里存著.

19:21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man—you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!’
我原是怕你, 因为你是严厉的人; 没有放下的, 还要去拿, 没有种下的, 还要去收. ’

19:22 He said to him, ‘By your own words I will judge you, wicked slave! You knew that I am a severe man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
主人对他说: ‘你这恶仆, 我要凭你的口定你的罪. 你既知道我是严厉的人, 没有放下的, 还要去拿, 没有种下的, 还要去收,

19:23 And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, when I returned, would have collected it with interest?’
为甚么不把我的银子交给银行, 等我来的时候, 连本带利都可以要回来呢? ’

19:24 And to the bystanders he said, ‘Take away from him the mina and give it to the one who has the ten minas!’
就对旁边站着的人说: ‘夺过他这一锭来, 给那有十锭的. ’

19:25 And they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas.’
他们说: ‘主啊, 他已经有十锭了. ’

19:26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
主人说: ‘我告诉你们, 凡有的, 还要加给他; 没有的, 连他所有的也要夺过来.

19:27 But these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!’ ”
至于我那些仇敌, 不要我作他们王的, 把他们拉来, 在我面前杀了吧! ’”

19:28 And after he had said these things, he traveled on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
耶稣说完了这话, 就在前面走, 上耶路撒冷去.

19:29 And it happened that when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
将近伯法其和伯大尼, 在一座山名叫橄榄山那里, 就打发两个门徒, 说:

19:30 saying, ‘Go into the village in front of you, in which as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no person has ever sat, and untie it and bring it.
“你们往对面村子里去, 进去的时候, 必看见一匹驴驹拴在那里, 是从来没有人骑过的, 可以解开牵来.

19:31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”
若有人问为甚么解牠, 你们就说: ‘主要用牠. ’”

19:32 So those who were sent went and found it just as he had told them.
打发的人去了, 所遇见的正如耶稣所说的.

19:33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’
他们解驴驹的时候, 主人问他们说: “解驴驹做甚么? ”

19:34 So they said, ‘The Lord has need of it.’
他们说: “主要用牠. ”

19:35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they put Jesus on it.
他们牵到耶稣那里, 把自己的衣服搭在上面, 扶著耶稣骑上.

19:36 And as he was going along, they were spreading out their cloaks on the road.
走的时候, 众人把衣服铺在路上.

19:37 Now as he was drawing near by this time to the descent from the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles that they had seen,
将近耶路撒冷, 正下橄榄山的时候, 众门徒因所见过的一切异能, 都欢乐起来, 大声赞美神,

19:38 saying, “Blessed is the king, the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
说: 奉主名来的王是应当称颂的! 在天上有和平; 在至高之处有荣光.

19:39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
众人中有几个法利赛人对耶稣说: “夫子, 责备你的门徒吧! ”

19:40 And he answered and said, “I tell you that if these keep silent, the stones will cry out!”
耶稣说: “我告诉你们, 若是他们闭口不说, 这些石头必要呼叫起来. ”

19:41 And when he approached and saw the city, he wept over it,
耶稣快到耶路撒冷, 看见城, 就为它哀哭,

19:42 saying, “If you had known on this day—even you—the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
说: “巴不得你在这日子知道关系你平安的事; 无奈这事现在是隐藏的, 叫你的眼看不出来.

19:43 For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.
因为日子将到, 你的仇敌必筑起土垒, 周围环绕你, 四面困住你,

19:44 And they will raze you to the ground, you and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
并要扫灭你和你里头的儿女, 连一块石头也不留在石头上, 因你不知道眷顾你的时候. ”

19:45 And he entered into the temple courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
耶稣进了殿, 赶出里头做买卖的人,

19:46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘And my house will be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
对他们说: “经上说: 我的殿必作祷告的殿, 你们倒使它成为贼窝了. ”

19:47 And he was teaching every day in the temple courts, and the chief priests and the scribes and the most prominent men of the people were seeking to destroy him.
耶稣天天在殿里教训人. 祭司长和文士与百姓的尊长都想要杀他,

19:48 And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to what they were hearing from him.
但寻不出法子来, 因为百姓都侧耳听他.

Luke - Chapter 20

20:1 And it happened that on one of the days while he was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes approached together with the elders
有一天, 耶稣在殿里教训百姓, 讲福音的时候, 祭司长和文士并长老上前来,

20:2 and said, saying to him, “Tell us, by what authority you are doing these things, or who is the one who gave you this authority?
问他说: “你告诉我们, 你仗着甚么权柄做这些事? 给你这权柄的是谁呢? ”

20:3 And he answered and said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and you tell me:
耶稣回答说: “我也要问你们一句话, 你们且告诉我.

20:4 The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?
约翰的洗礼是从天上来的? 是从人间来的呢? ”

20:5 And they discussed this with one another, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
他们彼此商议说: “我们若说‘从天上来’, 他必说: ‘你们为甚么不信他呢? ’

20:6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
若说‘从人间来’, 百姓都要用石头打死我们, 因为他们信约翰是先知. ”

20:7 And they replied that they did not know where it was from.
于是回答说: “不知道是从哪里来的. ”

20:8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
耶稣说: “我也不告诉你们, 我仗着甚么权柄做这些事. ”

20:9 And he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey for a long time.
耶稣就设比喻对百姓说: “有人栽了一个葡萄园, 租给园户, 就往外国去住了许久.

20:10 And at the proper time he sent a slave to the tenant farmers, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenant farmers sent him away empty-handed after beating him.
到了时候, 打发一个仆人到园户那里去, 叫他们把园中当纳的果子交给他; 园户竟打了他, 叫他空手回去.

20:11 And he proceeded to send another slave, but they beat and dishonored that one also, and sent him away empty-handed.
又打发一个仆人去, 他们也打了他, 并且凌辱他, 叫他空手回去.

20:12 And he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded and threw out this one also.
又打发第三个仆人去, 他们也打伤了他, 把他推出去了.

20:13 So the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
园主说: ‘我怎么办呢? 我要打发我的爱子去, 或者他们尊敬他. ’

20:14 But when the tenant farmers saw him, they began to reason with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance will become ours!’
不料, 园户看见他, 就彼此商量说: ‘这是承受产业的, 我们杀他吧, 使产业归于我们! ’

20:15 And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
于是把他推出葡萄园外, 杀了. 这样, 葡萄园的主人要怎样处治他们呢?

20:16 He will come and destroy those tenant farmers and give the vineyard to others.” And when they heard this, they said, “May this never happen!”
他要来除灭这些园户, 将葡萄园转给别人. ”听见的人说: “这是万不可的! ”

20:17 But he looked intently at them and said, “What then is this that is written: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone.’
耶稣看着他们说: “经上记着: 匠人所弃的石头已作了房角的头块石头. 这是甚么意思呢?

20:18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!”
凡掉在那石头上的, 必要跌碎; 那石头掉在谁的身上, 就要把谁砸得稀烂. ”

20:19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay their hands on him at that same hour, and they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had told this parable with reference to them.
文士和祭司长看出这比喻是指著他们说的, 当时就想要下手拿他, 只是惧怕百姓.

20:20 And they watched him closely and sent spies who pretended they were upright, in order that they could catch him in a statement, so that they could hand him over to the authority and the jurisdiction of the governor.
于是窥探耶稣, 打发奸细装作好人, 要在他的话上得把柄, 好将他交在巡抚的政权之下.

20:21 And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not show partiality, but teach the way of God in truth.
奸细就问耶稣说: “夫子, 我们晓得你所讲所传都是正道, 也不取人的外貌, 乃是诚诚实实传神的道.

20:22 Is it permitted for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
我们纳税给凯撒, 可以不可以? ”

20:23 But seeing through their craftiness, he said to them,
耶稣看出他们的诡诈, 就对他们说:

20:24 “Show me a denarius! Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they answered and said, “Caesar’s.”
“拿一个银钱来给我看. 这像和这号是谁的? ”他们说: “是凯撒的. ”

20:25 So he said to them, “Well then, give to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God!”
耶稣说: “这样, 凯撒的物当归给凯撒, 神的物当归给神. ”

20:26 And they were not able to catch him in a statement in the sight of the people, and astonished at his answer, they became silent.
他们当着百姓, 在这话上得不著把柄, 又希奇他的应对, 就闭口无言了.

20:27 Now some of the Sadducees—who deny that there is a resurrection—came up and asked him,
撒都该人常说没有复活的事. 有几个来问耶稣说:

20:28 saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us if someone’s brother dies having a wife, and this man is childless, that his brother should take the wife and father descendants for his brother.
“夫子! 摩西为我们写着说: ‘人若有妻无子就死了, 他兄弟当娶他的妻, 为哥哥生子立后. ’

20:29 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife and died childless,
有弟兄七人, 第一个娶了妻, 没有孩子死了;

20:30 and the second,
第二个,第三个也娶过她;

20:31 and the third took her, and likewise also the seven did not leave children and died.
那七个人都娶过她, 没有留下孩子就死了.

20:32 Finally the woman also died.
后来妇人也死了.

20:33 Therefore in the resurrection, the woman—whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”
这样, 当复活的时候, 她是哪一个的妻子呢? 因为他们七个人都娶过她. ”

20:34 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
耶稣说: “这世界的人有娶有嫁;

20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
惟有算为配得那世界, 与从死里复活的人也不娶也不嫁;

20:36 for they are not even able to die any longer, because they are like the angels and are sons of God, because they are sons of the resurrection.
因为他们不能再死, 和天使一样; 既是复活的人, 就为神的儿子.

20:37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses revealed in the passage about the bush, when he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
至于死人复活, 摩西在荆棘篇上, 称主是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神, 就指示明白了.

20:38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him!”
神原不是死人的神, 乃是活人的神; 因为在他那里(那里: 或译看来), 人都是活的. ”

20:39 And some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
有几个文士说: “夫子! 你说得好. ”

20:40 For they no longer dared to ask him anything.
以后他们不敢再问他甚么.

20:41 But he said to them, “In what sense do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
耶稣对他们说: “人怎么说基督是大卫的子孙呢?

20:42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
诗篇上大卫自己说: 主对我主说: 你坐在我的右边,

20:43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳.

20:44 David therefore calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?”
大卫既称他为主, 他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢? ”

20:45 And while all the people were listening, he said to the disciples,
众百姓听的时候, 耶稣对门徒说:

20:46 “Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,
“你们要防备文士. 他们好穿长衣游行, 喜爱人在街市上问他们安, 又喜爱会堂里的高位, 筵席上的首座;

20:47 who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy prayers for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!”
他们侵吞寡妇的家产, 假意作很长的祷告. 这些人要受更重的刑罚! ”

Luke - Chapter 21

21:1 And he looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the contribution box,
耶稣抬头观看, 见财主把捐项投在库里,

21:2 and he saw a certain poor widow putting in there two small copper coins.
又见一个穷寡妇投了两个小钱,

21:3 And he said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than all of them.
就说: “我实在告诉你们, 这穷寡妇所投的比众人还多;

21:4 For these all put gifts into the offering out of their abundance, but this woman out of her poverty put in all the means of subsistence that she had.”
因为众人都是自己有余, 拿出来投在捐项里, 但这寡妇是自己不足, 把她一切养生的都投上了. ”

21:5 And while some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with precious stones and votive offerings, he said,
有人谈论圣殿是用美石和供物妆饰的;

21:6 “As for these things that you see—days will come in which not one stone will be left on another stone that will not be thrown down!”
耶稣就说: “论到你们所看见的这一切, 将来日子到了, 在这里没有一块石头留在石头上, 不被拆毁了. ”

21:7 And they asked him, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things happen, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”
他们问他说: “夫子! 甚么时候有这事呢? 这事将到的时候有甚么预兆呢? ”

21:8 And he said, Watch out that you are not deceived! For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time is near!’ Do not go after them!
耶稣说: “你们要谨慎, 不要受迷惑; 因为将来有好些人冒我的名来, 说: ‘我是基督’, 又说: ‘时候近了’, 你们不要跟从他们!

21:9 And when you hear about wars and insurrections, do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not be at once.”
你们听见打仗和扰乱的事, 不要惊惶; 因为这些事必须先有, 只是末期不能立时就到. ”

21:10 Then he said to them, “nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
当时, 耶稣对他们说: “民要攻打民, 国要攻打国;

21:11 There will be great earthquakes and famines and plagues in various places. There will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven.
地要大大震动, 多处必有饥荒,瘟疫, 又有可怕的异象和大神蹟从天上显现.

21:12 “But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.
但这一切的事以先, 人要下手拿住你们, 逼迫你们, 把你们交给会堂, 并且收在监里, 又为我的名拉你们到君王诸侯面前.

21:13 This will turn out to you for a time of witness.
但这些事终必为你们的见证.

21:14 Therefore make up your minds not to prepare in advance to speak in your own defense,
所以, 你们当立定心意, 不要预先思想怎样分诉;

21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all your opponents will not be able to resist or contradict.
因为我必赐你们口才,智慧, 是你们一切敌人所敌不住,驳不倒的.

21:16 And you will be handed over even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put to death some of you.
连你们的父母,弟兄,亲族,朋友也要把你们交官; 你们也有被他们害死的.

21:17 And you will be hated by all because of my name.
你们要为我的名被众人恨恶,

21:18 Even a hair of your head will never perish!
然而, 你们连一根头发也必不损坏.

21:19 By your patient endurance you will gain your lives.
你们常存忍耐, 就必保全灵魂(或译: 必得生命). ”

21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
“你们看见耶路撒冷被兵围困, 就可知道它成荒场的日子近了.

21:21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside it must depart, and those in the fields must not enter into it,
那时, 在犹太的应当逃到山上; 在城里的应当出来; 在乡下的不要进城;

21:22 because these are days of vengeance, so that all the things that are written can be fulfilled.
因为这是报应的日子, 使经上所写的都得应验.

21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people,
当那些日子, 怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了! 因为将有大灾难降在这地方, 也有震怒临到这百姓.

21:24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
他们要倒在刀下, 又被掳到各国去. 耶路撒冷要被外邦人践踏, 直到外邦人的日期满了. ”

21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity from the noise of the sea and its surging,
“日,月,星辰要显出异兆, 地上的邦国也有困苦; 因海中波浪的响声, 就慌慌不定.

21:26 people fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming on the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
天势都要震动, 人想起那将要临到世界的事, 就都吓得魂不附体.

21:27 And then they will see the Son of Man arriving in a cloud with power and great glory.
那时, 他们要看见人子有能力, 有大荣耀驾云降临.

21:28 But when these things begin to happen, stand up straight and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!”
一有这些事, 你们就当挺身昂首, 因为你们得赎的日子近了. ”

21:29 And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
耶稣又设比喻对他们说: “你们看无花果树和各样的树; 它发芽的时候, 你们一看见, 自然晓得夏天近了.

21:30 When they put out foliage, now you see for yourselves and know that by this time the summer is near.
a

21:31 So also you, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
这样, 你们看见这些事渐渐地成就, 也该晓得神的国近了.

21:32 Truly I say to you that this generation will never pass away until all things take place!
我实在告诉你们, 这世代还没有过去, 这些事都要成就.

21:33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
天地要废去, 我的话却不能废去. ”

21:34 “But take care for yourselves, lest your hearts are weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of daily life, and that day come upon you suddenly

21:35 like a trap. For it will come upon all who reside on the face of the whole earth.
因为那日子要这样临到全地上一切居住的人.

21:36 But be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
你们要时时警醒, 常常祈求, 使你们能逃避这一切要来的事, 得以站立在人子面前. ”

21:37 So throughout the days he was teaching in the temple courts, and throughout the nights he was going out and spending the night on the hill that is called the Mount of Olives.
耶稣每日在殿里教训人, 每夜出城在一座山, 名叫橄榄山住宿.

21:38 And all the people were getting up very early in the morning to come to him in the temple courts to listen to him.
众百姓清早上圣殿, 到耶稣那里, 要听他讲道.

Luke - Chapter 22

22:1 Now the feast of Unleavened Bread (which is called Passover) was drawing near.
除酵节(又名逾越节)近了.

22:2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.
祭司长和文士想法子怎么才能杀害耶稣, 是因他们惧怕百姓.

22:3 And Satan entered into Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.
这时, 撒但入了那称为加略人犹大的心; 他本是十二门徒里的一个.

22:4 And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he could betray him to them.
他去和祭司长并守殿官商量, 怎么可以把耶稣交给他们.

22:5 And they were delighted, and came to an agreement with him to give him money.
他们欢喜, 就约定给他银子.

22:6 And he agreed, and began looking for a favorable opportunity to betray him to them apart from the crowd.
他应允了, 就找机会, 要趁众人不在跟前的时候把耶稣交给他们.

22:7 And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed.
除酵节, 须宰逾越羊羔的那一天到了.

22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.
耶稣打发彼得,约翰, 说: “你们去为我们预备逾越节的筵席, 好叫我们吃. ”

22:9 So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
他们问他说: “要我们在哪里预备? ”

22:10 And he said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
耶稣说: “你们进了城, 必有人拿着一瓶水迎面而来, 你们就跟着他, 到他所进的房子里去,

22:11 And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?” ’
对那家的主人说: ‘夫子说: 客房在哪里? 我与门徒好在那里吃逾越节的筵席. ’

22:12 And he will show you a large furnished upstairs room. Make preparations there.”
他必指给你们摆设整齐的一间大楼, 你们就在那里预备. ”

22:13 So they went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
他们去了, 所遇见的正如耶稣所说的; 他们就预备了逾越节的筵席.

22:14 And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.
时候到了, 耶稣坐席, 使徒也和他同坐.

22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
耶稣对他们说: “我很愿意在受害以先和你们吃这逾越节的筵席.

22:16 For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
我告诉你们, 我不再吃这筵席, 直到成就在神的国里. ”

22:17 And he took in hand a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
耶稣接过杯来, 祝谢了, 说: “你们拿这个, 大家分著喝.

22:18 For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
我告诉你们, 从今以后, 我不再喝这葡萄汁, 直等神的国来到. ”

22:19 And he took bread, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
又拿起饼来, 祝谢了, 就擘开, 递给他们, 说: “这是我的身体, 为你们舍的, 你们也应当如此行, 为的是记念我. ”

22:20 And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.
饭后也照样拿起杯来, 说: “这杯是用我血所立的新约, 是为你们流出来的.

22:21 “But behold, the hand of the one who is betraying me is with me on the table!
看哪, 那卖我之人的手与我一同在桌子上.

22:22 For the Son of Man is going according to what has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”
人子固然要照所预定的去世, 但卖人子的人有祸了! ”

22:23 And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.
他们就彼此对问, 是哪一个要做这事.

22:24 And a dispute also occurred among them as to which of them was recognized as being greatest.
门徒起了争论, 他们中间哪一个可算为大.

22:25 So he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called benefactors.
耶稣说: “外邦人有君王为主治理他们, 那掌权管他们的称为恩主.

22:26 But you are not to be like this! But the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.
但你们不可这样; 你们里头为大的, 倒要像年幼的, 为首领的, 倒要像服事人的.

22:27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am in your midst as the one who serves.
是谁为大? 是坐席的呢? 是服事人的呢? 不是坐席的大吗? 然而, 我在你们中间如同服事人的.

22:28 “And you are the ones who have remained with me in my trials,
我在磨炼之中, 常和我同在的就是你们.

22:29 and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred on me,
我将国赐给你们, 正如我父赐给我一样,

22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
叫你们在我国里, 坐在我的席上吃喝, 并且坐在宝座上, 审判以色列十二个支派. ”

22:31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to sift you like wheat,
主又说: “西门! 西门! 撒但想要得着你们, 好筛你们像筛麦子一样;

22:32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
但我已经为你祈求, 叫你不至于失了信心. 你回头以后, 要坚固你的弟兄. ”

22:33 But he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
彼得说: “主啊, 我就是同你下监, 同你受死, 也是甘心! ”

22:34 And he said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me!”
耶稣说: “彼得, 我告诉你, 今日鸡还没有叫, 你要三次说不认得我. ”

22:35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out without a money bag and a traveler’s bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” And they said, “Nothing.”
耶稣又对他们说: “我差你们出去的时候, 没有钱囊, 没有口袋, 没有鞋, 你们缺少甚么没有? ”他们说: “没有. ”

22:36 And he said to them, “But now the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag. And the one who does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one.
耶稣说: “但如今有钱囊的可以带着, 有口袋的也可以带着, 没有刀的要卖衣服买刀.

22:37 For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was counted with the criminals.’ For indeed, what is written about me is being fulfilled.”
我告诉你们, 经上写着说: ‘他被列在罪犯之中. ’这话必应验在我身上; 因为那关系我的事必然成就. ”

22:38 So they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords!” And he said to them, “It is adequate.”
他们说: “主啊, 请看! 这里有两把刀. ”耶稣说: “够了. ”

22:39 And he went away and proceeded, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
耶稣出来, 照常往橄榄山去, 门徒也跟随他.

22:40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
到了那地方, 就对他们说: “你们要祷告, 免得入了迷惑. ”

22:41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw and knelt down and began to pray,
于是离开他们约有扔一块石头那么远, 跪下祷告,

22:42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.” 〚
说: “父啊! 你若愿意, 就把这杯撤去; 然而, 不要成就我的意思, 只要成就你的意思. ”

22:43 And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
有一位天使从天上显现, 加添他的力量.

22:44 And being in anguish, he began praying more fervently and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.〛
耶稣极其伤痛, 祷告更加恳切, 汗珠如大血点滴在地上.

22:45 And when he got up from the prayer and came to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow,
祷告完了, 就起来, 到门徒那里, 见他们因为忧愁都睡着了,

22:46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not enter into temptation!”
就对他们说: “你们为甚么睡觉呢? 起来祷告, 免得入了迷惑! ”

22:47 While he was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the one named Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. And he approached Jesus to kiss him.
说话之间, 来了许多人. 那十二个门徒里名叫犹大的, 走在前头, 就近耶稣, 要与他亲嘴.

22:48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
耶稣对他说: “犹大! 你用亲嘴的暗号卖人子吗? ”

22:49 And when those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”
左右的人见光景不好, 就说: “主啊! 我们拿刀砍可以不可以? ”

22:50 And a certain one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
内中有一个人把大祭司的仆人砍了一刀, 削掉了他的右耳.

22:51 But Jesus answered and said, “Stop! No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.
耶稣说: “到了这个地步, 由他们吧! ”就摸那人的耳朵, 把他治好了.

22:52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come out against him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber?
耶稣对那些来拿他的祭司长和守殿官并长老说: “你们带着刀棒出来拿我, 如同拿强盗吗?

22:53 Every day when I was with you in the temple courts, you did not stretch out your hands against me! But this is your hour and the domain of darkness!”
我天天同你们在殿里, 你们不下手拿我. 现在却是你们的时候, 黑暗掌权了. ”

22:54 And they arrested him and led him away and brought him into the house of the high priest. But Peter was following at a distance.
他们拿住耶稣, 把他带到大祭司的宅里. 彼得远远地跟着.

22:55 And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
他们在院子里生了火, 一同坐着; 彼得也坐在他们中间.

22:56 And a certain female slave, seeing him sitting in the light and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him!”
有一个使女看见彼得坐在火光里, 就定睛看他, 说: “这个人素来也是同那人一伙的. ”

22:57 But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
彼得却不承认, 说: “女子, 我不认得他. ”

22:58 And after a short time another person saw him and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
过了不多的时候, 又有一个人看见他, 说: “你也是他们一党的. ”彼得说: “你这个人! 我不是. ”

22:59 And after about one hour had passed, someone else was insisting, saying, “In truth this man also was with him, because he is also a Galilean!”
约过了一小时, 又有一个人极力地说: “他实在是同那人一伙的, 因为他也是加利利人. ”

22:60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
彼得说: “你这个人! 我不晓得你说的是甚么! ”正说话之间, 鸡就叫了.

22:61 And the Lord turned around and looked intently at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.”
主转过身来看彼得, 彼得便想起主对他所说的话: “今日鸡叫以先, 你要三次不认我. ”

22:62 And he went outside and wept bitterly.
他就出去痛哭.

22:63 And the men who were guarding him began to mock him while they beat him,
看守耶稣的人戏弄他, 打他,

22:64 and after blindfolding him they repeatedly asked him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”
又蒙着他的眼, 问他说: “你是先知, 告诉我们打你的是谁? ”

22:65 And they were saying many other things against him, reviling him.
他们还用许多别的话辱骂他.

22:66 And when day came, the council of elders of the people gathered, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away to their Sanhedrin,
天一亮, 民间的众长老连祭司长带文士都聚会, 把耶稣带到他们的公会里,

22:67 saying, “If you are the Christ, tell us!” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will never believe,
说: “你若是基督, 就告诉我们. ”耶稣说: “我若告诉你们, 你们也不信;

22:68 and if I ask you, you will never answer!
我若问你们, 你们也不回答.

22:69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
从今以后, 人子要坐在神权能的右边. ”

22:70 So they all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” And he said to them, “You say that I am.”
他们都说: “这样, 你是神的儿子吗? ”耶稣说: “你们所说的是. ”

22:71 And they said, “Why do we have need of further testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his mouth!”
他们说: “何必再用见证呢? 他亲口所说的, 我们都亲自听见了. ”

Luke - Chapter 23

23:1 And the whole assembly of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.
众人都起来, 把耶稣解到彼拉多面前,

23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying he himself is Christ, a king!”
就告他说: “我们见这人诱惑国民, 禁止纳税给凯撒, 并说自己是基督, 是王. ”

23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” And he answered him and said, “You say so.”
彼拉多问耶稣说: “你是犹太人的王吗? ”耶稣回答说: “你说的是. ”

23:4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an accusation against this man.”
彼拉多对祭司长和众人说: “我查不出这人有甚么罪来. ”

23:5 But they insisted, saying, “He incites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea and beginning from Galilee as far as here.”
但他们越发极力地说: “他煽惑百姓, 在犹太遍地传道, 从加利利起, 直到这里了. ”

23:6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
彼拉多一听见, 就问: “这人是加利利人吗? ”

23:7 And when he found out that he was from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days.
既晓得耶稣属希律所管, 就把他送到希律那里去. 那时希律正在耶路撒冷.

23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him.
希律看见耶稣, 就很欢喜; 因为听见过他的事, 久已想要见他, 并且指望看他行一件神蹟,

23:9 So he questioned him at considerable length, but he answered nothing to him.
于是问他许多的话, 耶稣却一言不答.

23:10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there vehemently accusing him.
祭司长和文士都站着, 极力地告他.

23:11 And Herod with his soldiers also treated him with contempt, and after mocking him and dressing him in glistening clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.
希律和他的兵丁就藐视耶稣, 戏弄他, 给他穿上华丽衣服, 把他送回彼拉多那里去.

23:12 And both Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on that same day, for they had previously been enemies of one another.
从前希律和彼拉多彼此有仇, 在那一天就成了朋友.

23:13 So Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people
彼拉多传齐了祭司长和官府并百姓,

23:14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people, and behold, when I examined him before you, I found nothing in this man as basis for the accusation which you are making against him.
就对他们说: “你们解这人到我这里, 说他是诱惑百姓的. 看哪, 我也曾将你们告他的事, 在你们面前审问他, 并没有查出他甚么罪来;

23:15 But neither did Herod, because he sent him back to us. And behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him.
就是希律也是如此, 所以把他送回来. 可见他没有做甚么该死的事.

23:16 Therefore I will punish him and release him.”
故此, 我要责打他, 把他释放了. ”(有古卷加:

23:17
每逢这节期, 巡抚必须释放一个囚犯给他们. )

23:18 But they all cried out in unison, saying, “Take this man away, and release for us Barabbas!”
众人却一齐喊著说: “除掉这个人! 释放巴拉巴给我们! ”

23:19 (who had been thrown in prison because of a certain insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder).
这巴拉巴是因在城里作乱杀人, 下在监里的.

23:20 And Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again,
彼拉多愿意释放耶稣, 就又劝解他们.

23:21 but they kept crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify him!”
无奈他们喊著说: “钉他十字架! 钉他十字架! ”

23:22 So he said to them a third time, “Why? What wrong has this man done? I found no basis for an accusation deserving death in him. Therefore I will punish him and release him.”
彼拉多第三次对他们说: “为甚么呢? 这人做了甚么恶事呢? 我并没有查出他甚么该死的罪来. 所以, 我要责打他, 把他释放了. ”

带耶稣去的时候, 有一个古利奈人西门, 从乡下来; 他们就抓住他, 把十字架搁在他身上, 叫他背着跟随耶稣.

有许多百姓跟随耶稣, 内中有好些妇女; 妇女们为他号咷痛哭.

23:28 But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children!
耶稣转身对她们说: “耶路撒冷的女子, 不要为我哭, 当为自己和自己的儿女哭.

23:29 For behold, days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not give birth, and the breasts that did not nurse!’
因为日子要到, 人必说: ‘不生育的, 和未曾怀胎的, 未曾乳养婴孩的, 有福了! ’

23:30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
那时, 人要向大山说: 倒在我们身上! 向小山说: 遮盖我们!

23:31 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
“这些事既行在有汁水的树上, 那枯干的树将来怎么样呢? ”

23:32 And two other criminals were also led away to be executed with him.

当下耶稣说: “父啊! 赦免他们; 因为他们所做的, 他们不晓得. ”兵丁就拈阄分他的衣服.

23:35 And the people stood there watching, but the rulers also ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if this man is the Christ of God, the Chosen One!”
百姓站在那里观看. 官府也嗤笑他, 说: “他救了别人; 他若是基督, 神所拣选的, 可以救自己吧! ”

那一个就应声责备他, 说: “你既是一样受刑的, 还不怕神吗?

23:41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for what we have done. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
我们是应该的, 因我们所受的与我们所做的相称, 但这个人没有做过一件不好的事. ”

23:42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!”

23:43 And he said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
耶稣对他说: “我实在告诉你, 今日你要同我在乐园里了. ”

23:44 And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour
那时约有午正, 遍地都黑暗了, 直到申初,

23:45 because the light of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart down the middle.

23:49 And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these things, stood at a distance.
还有一切与耶稣熟识的人, 和从加利利跟着他来的妇女们, 都远远地站着看这些事.

23:50 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man
有一个人名叫约瑟, 是个议士, 为人善良公义;

23:51 (this man was not consenting to their plan and deed), from Arimathea, a Judean town, who was looking forward to the kingdom of God.
众人所谋所为, 他并没有附从. 他本是犹太,亚利马太城里素常盼望神国的人.

23:52 This man approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
这人去见彼拉多, 求耶稣的身体,

23:53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed him in a tomb cut into the rock where no one had ever been placed.

24:1 Now on the first day of the week, at very early dawn, they came back to the tomb bringing the fragrant spices which they had prepared.

24:2 And they found the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,

24:5 And as they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

24:6 He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you while he was still in Galilee,
他不在这里, 已经复活了. 当记念他还在加利利的时候怎样告诉你们,

24:7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men who are sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?”

24:8 And they remembered his words,
她们就想起耶稣的话来,

24:9 and when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
便从坟墓那里回去, 把这一切的事告诉十一个使徒和其余的人.

24:10 Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the others with them were telling these things to the apostles.
那告诉使徒的就是抹大拉的马利亚和约亚拿, 并雅各的母亲马利亚, 还有与她们在一处的妇女.

24:11 And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they refused to believe them.
她们这些话, 使徒以为是胡言, 就不相信.

24:12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, and bending over to look, he saw only the strips of linen cloth, and he went away to his home wondering what had happened.
彼得起来, 跑到坟墓前, 低头往里看, 见细麻布独在一处, 就回去了, 心里希奇所成的事.

24:13 And behold, on that same day, two of them were traveling to a village named Emmaus that was sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem,
正当那日, 门徒中有两个人往一个村子去; 这村子名叫以马忤斯, 离耶路撒冷约有二十五里.

24:14 and they were conversing with one another about all these things that had happened.
他们彼此谈论所遇见的这一切事.

24:15 And it happened that while they were conversing, and discussing, Jesus himself also approached and began to go along with them,
正谈论相问的时候, 耶稣亲自就近他们, 和他们同行;

24:16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
只是他们的眼睛迷糊了, 不认识他.

24:17 And he said to them, “What are these matters that you are discussing with one another as you are walking along?” And they stood still, looking sad.
耶稣对他们说: “你们走路彼此谈论的是甚么事呢? ”他们就站住, 脸上带着愁容.

24:18 And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to him, “Are you the only one living near Jerusalem and not knowing the things that have happened in it in these days?”
二人中有一个名叫革流巴的回答说: “你在耶路撒冷作客, 还不知道这几天在那里所出的事吗? ”

24:19 And he said to them, “What things?” So they said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, a man who was a prophet, powerful in deed and word before God and all the people,
耶稣说: “甚么事呢? ”他们说: “就是拿撒勒人耶稣的事. 他是个先知, 在神和众百姓面前, 说话行事都有大能.

24:20 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to a sentence of death, and crucified him.
祭司长和我们的官府竟把他解去, 定了死罪, 钉在十字架上.

24:21 But we were hoping that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. But in addition to all these things, this is the third day since these things took place.
但我们素来所盼望,要赎以色列民的就是他! 不但如此, 而且这事成就, 现在已经三天了.

24:22 But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,
再者, 我们中间有几个妇女使我们惊奇; 她们清早到了坟墓那里,

24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came back saying they had seen even a vision of angels, who said that he was alive!
不见他的身体, 就回来告诉我们, 说看见了天使显现, 说他活了.

24:24 And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found it like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see.”
又有我们的几个人往坟墓那里去, 所遇见的正如妇女们所说的, 只是没有看见他. ”

24:25 And he said to them, “O foolish and slow in heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
耶稣对他们说: “无知的人哪, 先知所说的一切话, 你们的心信得太迟钝了.

24:26 Was it not necessary that the Christ suffer these things and enter into his glory?”
基督这样受害, 又进入他的荣耀, 岂不是应当的吗? ”

24:27 And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures.
于是从摩西和众先知起, 凡经上所指著自己的话都给他们讲解明白了.

24:28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he acted as though he was going farther.
将近他们所去的村子, 耶稣好像还要往前行,

24:29 And they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is getting toward evening, and by this time the day is far spent.” And he went in to stay with them.
他们却强留他, 说: “时候晚了, 日头已经平西了, 请你同我们住下吧! ”耶稣就进去, 要同他们住下.

24:30 And it happened that when he reclined at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks, and after breaking it, he gave it to them.
到了坐席的时候, 耶稣拿起饼来, 祝谢了, 擘开, 递给他们.

24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he became invisible to them.
他们的眼睛明亮了, 这才认出他来. 忽然耶稣不见了.

24:32 And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?”
他们彼此说: “在路上, 他和我们说话, 给我们讲解圣经的时候, 我们的心岂不是火热的吗? ”

24:33 And they got up that same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven and those with them assembled,
他们就立时起身, 回耶路撒冷去, 正遇见十一个使徒和他们的同人聚集在一处,

24:34 saying, “The Lord has really been raised, and has appeared to Simon!”
说: “主果然复活, 已经现给西门看了. ”

24:35 And they began describing what happened on the road, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
两个人就把路上所遇见, 和擘饼的时候怎么被他们认出来的事, 都述说了一遍.

24:36 And while they were saying these things, he himself stood there among them.
正说这话的时候, 耶稣亲自站在他们当中, 说: “愿你们平安! ”

24:37 But they were startled and became terrified, and thought they had seen a ghost.
他们却惊慌害怕, 以为所看见的是魂.

24:38 And he said to them, “Why are you frightened? And for what reason do doubts arise in your hearts?
耶稣说: “你们为甚么愁烦? 为甚么心里起疑念呢?

24:39 Look at my hands and my feet, that I am I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
你们看我的手, 我的脚, 就知道实在是我了. 摸我看看! 魂无骨无肉, 你们看, 我是有的. ”

24:40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
说了这话, 就把手和脚给他们看.

24:41 And while they were still disbelieving because of joy and were marveling, he said to them, “Do you have anything to eat here?”
他们正喜得不敢信, 并且希奇; 耶稣就说: “你们这里有甚么吃的没有? ”

24:42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish,
他们便给他一片烧鱼. (有古卷加: 和一块蜜房. )

24:43 and he took it and ate it in front of them.
他接过来, 在他们面前吃了.

24:44 And he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything that is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”
耶稣对他们说: “这就是我从前与你们同在之时所告诉你们的话说: 摩西的律法,先知的书, 和诗篇上所记的, 凡指著我的话都必须应验. ”

24:45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures,
于是耶稣开他们的心窍, 使他们能明白圣经,

24:46 and said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,
又对他们说: “照经上所写的, 基督必受害, 第三日从死里复活,

24:47 and repentance and the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
并且人要奉他的名传悔改,赦罪的道, 从耶路撒冷起直传到万邦.

24:48 You are witnesses of these things.
你们就是这些事的见证.

24:49 And behold, I am sending out what was promised by my Father upon you, but you stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
我要将我父所应许的降在你们身上, 你们要在城里等候, 直到你们领受从上头来的能力. ”

24:50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
耶稣领他们到伯大尼的对面, 就举手给他们祝福.

24:51 And it happened that while he was blessing them, he parted from them and was taken up into heaven.

24:53 And they were continually in the temple courts praising God.
常在殿里称颂神.

John (约翰福音)

John - Chapter 1

1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
太初有道, 道与神同在, 道就是神.

1:2 This one was in the beginning with God.
这道太初与神同在.

1:3 All things came into being through him, and apart from him not one thing came into being that has come into being.
万物是藉著他造的; 凡被造的, 没有一样不是藉著他造的.

1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
生命在他里头, 这生命就是人的光.

1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
光照在黑暗里, 黑暗却不接受光.

1:6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.
有一个人, 是从神那里差来的, 名叫约翰.

1:7 This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.
这人来, 为要作见证, 就是为光作见证, 叫众人因他可以信.

1:8 That one was not the light, but came in order that he could testify about the light.
他不是那光, 乃是要为光作见证.

1:9 The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world.
那光是真光, 照亮一切生在世上的人.

1:10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, and the world did not recognize him.
他在世界, 世界也是藉著他造的, 世界却不认识他.

1:11 He came to his own things, and his own people did not receive him.
他到自己的地方来, 自己的人倒不接待他.

1:12 But as many as received him—to those who believe in his name—he gave to them authority to become children of God,
凡接待他的, 就是信他名的人, 他就赐他们权柄作神的儿女.

1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a husband, but of God.
这等人不是从血气生的, 不是从情欲生的, 也不是从人意生的, 乃是从神生的.

1:14 And the Word became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth.
道成了肉身, 住在我们中间, 充充满满地有恩典有真理. 我们也见过他的荣光, 正是父独生子的荣光.

1:15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This one was he about whom I said, ‘The one who comes after me is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ”
约翰为他作见证, 喊著说: “这就是我曾说: ‘那在我以后来的, 反成了在我以前的, 因他本来在我以前. ’”

1:16 For from his fullness we have all received, and grace after grace.
从他丰满的恩典里, 我们都领受了, 而且恩上加恩.

1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
律法本是藉著摩西传的; 恩典和真理都是由耶稣基督来的.

1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the one and only, God, the one who is in the bosom of the Father—that one has made him known.
从来没有人看见神, 只有在父怀里的独生子将他表明出来.

1:19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, “Who are you?”
约翰所作的见证记在下面: 犹太人从耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到约翰那里, 问他说: “你是谁? ”

1:20 And he confessed—and he did not deny, and confessed—“I am not the Christ!”
他就明说, 并不隐瞒, 明说: “我不是基督. ”

1:21 And they asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not!” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No!”
他们又问他说: “这样, 你是谁呢? 是以利亚吗? ”他说: “我不是. ”“是那先知吗? ”他回答说: “不是. ”

1:22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
于是他们说: “你到底是谁, 叫我们好回复差我们来的人. 你自己说, 你是谁? ”

1:23 He said, “I am ‘the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord,” ’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
他说: “我就是那在旷野有人声喊著说: ‘修直主的道路’, 正如先知以赛亚所说的. ”

1:24 (And they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
那些人是法利赛人差来的(或译: 那差来的是法利赛人);

1:25 And they asked him and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
他们就问他说: “你既不是基督, 不是以利亚, 也不是那先知, 为甚么施洗呢? ”

1:26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water. In your midst stands one whom you do not know—
约翰回答说: “我是用水施洗, 但有一位站在你们中间, 是你们不认识的,

1:27 the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!”
就是那在我以后来的, 我给他解鞋带也不配. ”

1:28 These things took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
这是在约旦河外伯大尼(有古卷: 伯大巴喇), 约翰施洗的地方作的见证.

1:29 On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
次日, 约翰看见耶稣来到他那里, 就说: “看哪, 神的羔羊, 除去(或译: 背负)世人罪孽的!

1:30 This one is the one about whom I said, ‘After me is coming a man who is ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
这就是我曾说: ‘有一位在我以后来,反成了在我以前的, 因他本来在我以前. ’

1:31 And I did not know him, but in order that he could be revealed to Israel, because of this I came baptizing with water.”
我先前不认识他, 如今我来用水施洗, 为要叫他显明给以色列人. ”

1:32 And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and remaining upon him.
约翰又作见证说: “我曾看见圣灵, 仿佛鸽子从天降下, 住在他的身上.

1:33 And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, ‘The one upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him—this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
我先前不认识他, 只是那差我来用水施洗的,对我说: ‘你看见圣灵降下来, 住在谁的身上, 谁就是用圣灵施洗的. ’

1:34 And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One of God.
我看见了, 就证明这是神的儿子. ”

1:35 On the next day again John was standing there, and two of his disciples,
再次日, 约翰同两个门徒站在那里.

1:36 and looking at Jesus as he was walking by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”
他见耶稣行走, 就说: “看哪, 这是神的羔羊! ”

1:37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
两个门徒听见他的话, 就跟从了耶稣.

1:38 And Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means when translated “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
耶稣转过身来, 看见他们跟着, 就问他们说: “你们要甚么? ”他们说: “拉比, 在哪里住? ”(拉比翻出来就是夫子. )

1:39 He said to them, “Come and you will see!” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day (it was about the tenth hour).
耶稣说: “你们来看. ”他们就去看他在哪里住, 这一天便与他同住; 那时约有申正了.

1:40 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed him.
听见约翰的话跟从耶稣的那两个人, 一个是西门•彼得的兄弟安得烈.

1:41 This one first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is translated “Christ”).
他先找著自己的哥哥西门, 对他说: “我们遇见弥赛亚了. ”(弥赛亚翻出来就是基督. )

1:42 He brought him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is interpreted “Peter”).
于是领他去见耶稣. 耶稣看见他, 说: “你是约翰的儿子西门(约翰在马太十六章十七节称约拿), 你要称为矶法. ”(矶法翻出来就是彼得. )

1:43 On the next day he wanted to depart for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
又次日, 耶稣想要往加利利去, 遇见腓力, 就对他说: “来跟从我吧. ”

1:44 (Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.)
这腓力是伯赛大人, 和安得烈,彼得同城.

1:45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the law, and the prophets wrote about—Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth!”
腓力找著拿但业, 对他说: “摩西在律法上所写的和众先知所记的那一位, 我们遇见了, 就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣. ”

1:46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see!”
拿但业对他说: “拿撒勒还能出甚么好的吗? ”腓力说: “你来看! ”

1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him, “Look! A true Israelite in whom is no deceit!”
耶稣看见拿但业来, 就指著他说: “看哪, 这是个真以色列人, 他心里是没有诡诈的. ”

1:48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
拿但业对耶稣说: “你从哪里知道我呢? ”耶稣回答说: “腓力还没有招呼你, 你在无花果树底下, 我就看见你了. ”

1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the king of Israel!”
拿但业说: “拉比, 你是神的儿子, 你是以色列的王! ”

1:50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these!”
耶稣对他说: “因为我说‘在无花果树底下看见你’, 你就信吗? 你将要看见比这更大的事”;

1:51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly I say to all of you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
又说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 你们将要看见天开了, 神的使者上去下来在人子身上. ”

John - Chapter 2

2:1 And on the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
第三日, 在加利利的迦拿有娶亲的筵席, 耶稣的母亲在那里.

2:2 And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
耶稣和他的门徒也被请去赴席.

2:3 And when the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine!”
酒用尽了, 耶稣的母亲对他说: “他们没有酒了. ”

2:4 And Jesus said to her, “What does your concern have to do with me, woman? My hour has not yet come.”
耶稣说: “母亲(原文是妇人), 我与你有甚么相干? 我的时候还没有到. ”

2:5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it!”
他母亲对用人说: “他告诉你们甚么, 你们就做甚么. ”

2:6 Now six stone water jars were set there, in accordance with the ceremonial cleansing of the Jews, each holding two or three measures.
照犹太人洁净的规矩, 有六口石缸摆在那里, 每口可以盛两三桶水.

2:7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the brim.
耶稣对用人说: “把缸倒满了水. ”他们就倒满了, 直到缸口.

2:8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the head steward. So they took it.
耶稣又说: “现在可以舀出来, 送给管筵席的. ”他们就送了去.

2:9 Now when the head steward tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it was from—but the servants who had drawn the water knew—the head steward summoned the bridegroom
管筵席的尝了那水变的酒, 并不知道是哪里来的, 只有舀水的用人知道. 管筵席的便叫新郎来,

2:10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
对他说: “人都是先摆上好酒, 等客喝足了, 才摆上次的, 你倒把好酒留到如今! ”

2:11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee, and revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
这是耶稣所行的头一件神蹟, 是在加利利的迦拿行的, 显出他的荣耀来; 他的门徒就信他了.

2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, and his mother and brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there a few days.
这事以后, 耶稣与他的母亲,弟兄, 和门徒都下迦百农去, 在那里住了不多几日.

2:13 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
犹太人的逾越节近了, 耶稣就上耶路撒冷去.

2:14 And he found in the temple courts those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated.
看见殿里有卖牛,羊,鸽子的, 并有兑换银钱的人坐在那里,

2:15 And he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple courts, both the sheep and the oxen, and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
耶稣就拿绳子做成鞭子, 把牛羊都赶出殿去, 倒出兑换银钱之人的银钱, 推翻他们的桌子,

2:16 And to the ones selling the doves he said, “Take these things away from here! Do not make my Father’s house a marketplace!”
又对卖鸽子的说: “把这些东西拿去! 不要将我父的殿当作买卖的地方. ”

2:17 His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
他的门徒就想起经上记着说: “我为你的殿心里焦急, 如同火烧. ”

2:18 So the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign do you show to us, because you are doing these things?”
因此犹太人问他说: “你既做这些事, 还显甚么神蹟给我们看呢? ”

2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up!”
耶稣回答说: “你们拆毁这殿, 我三日内要再建立起来. ”

2:20 Then the Jews said, “This temple has been under construction forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?”
犹太人便说: “这殿是四十六年才造成的, 你三日内就再建立起来吗? ”

2:21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
但耶稣这话是以他的身体为殿.

2:22 So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.
所以到他从死里复活以后, 门徒就想起他说过这话, 便信了圣经和耶稣所说的.

2:23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name because they saw his signs which he was doing.
当耶稣在耶路撒冷过逾越节的时候, 有许多人看见他所行的神蹟, 就信了他的名.

2:24 But Jesus himself did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people,
耶稣却不将自己交托他们; 因为他知道万人,

2:25 and because he did not need anyone to testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
也用不著谁见证人怎样, 因他知道人心里所存的.

John - Chapter 3

3:1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
有一个法利赛人, 名叫尼哥底母, 是犹太人的官.

3:2 This man came to him at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him.”
这人夜里来见耶稣, 说: “拉比, 我们知道你是由神那里来作师傅的; 因为你所行的神蹟, 若没有神同在, 无人能行. ”

3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
耶稣回答说: “我实实在在地告诉你, 人若不重生, 就不能见神的国. ”

3:4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is an old man? He is not able to enter into his mother’s womb for the second time and be born, can he?”
尼哥底母说: “人已经老了, 如何能重生呢? 岂能再进母腹生出来吗? ”

3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
耶稣说: “我实实在在地告诉你, 人若不是从水和圣灵生的, 就不能进神的国.

3:6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
从肉身生的就是肉身; 从灵生的就是灵.

3:7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you to be born from above.’
我说: ‘你们必须重生’, 你不要以为希奇.

3:8 The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
风随着意思吹, 你听见风的响声, 却不晓得从哪里来, 往哪里去; 凡从圣灵生的, 也是如此. ”

3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can these things be?”
尼哥底母问他说: “怎能有这事呢? ”

3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and you do not understand these things?
耶稣回答说: “你是以色列人的先生, 还不明白这事吗?

3:11 Truly, truly I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony!
我实实在在地告诉你, 我们所说的是我们知道的; 我们所见证的是我们见过的; 你们却不领受我们的见证.

3:12 If I tell you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
我对你们说地上的事, 你们尚且不信, 若说天上的事, 如何能信呢?

3:13 And no one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
除了从天降下,仍旧在天的人子, 没有人升过天.

3:14 And just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, thus it is necessary that the Son of Man be lifted up,
摩西在旷野怎样举蛇, 人子也必照样被举起来,

3:15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.”
叫一切信他的都得永生(或译: 叫一切信的人在他里面得永生).

3:16 For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
“神爱世人, 甚至将他的独生子赐给他们, 叫一切信他的, 不致灭亡, 反得永生.

3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.
因为神差他的儿子降世, 不是要定世人的罪(或译: 审判世人; 下同), 乃是要叫世人因他得救.

3:18 The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
信他的人, 不被定罪; 不信的人, 罪已经定了, 因为他不信神独生子的名.

3:19 And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
光来到世间, 世人因自己的行为是恶的, 不爱光, 倒爱黑暗, 定他们的罪就是在此.

3:20 For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.
凡作恶的便恨光, 并不来就光, 恐怕他的行为受责备.

3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God.
但行真理的必来就光, 要显明他所行的是靠神而行. ”

3:22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.
这事以后, 耶稣和门徒到了犹太地, 在那里居住, 施洗.

3:23 Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and they were coming and were being baptized.
约翰在靠近撒冷的哀嫩也施洗; 因为那里水多, 众人都去受洗.

3:24 (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
(那时约翰还没有下在监里. )

3:25 So a dispute occurred on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew concerning purification.
约翰的门徒和一个犹太人辩论洁净的礼,

3:26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified—look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!”
就来见约翰, 说: “拉比, 从前同你在约旦河外,你所见证的那位, 现在施洗, 众人都往他那里去了. ”

3:27 John answered and said, “A man can receive not one thing unless it is granted to him from heaven!
约翰说: “若不是从天上赐的, 人就不能得甚么.

3:28 You yourselves testify about me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.’
我曾说: ‘我不是基督, 是奉差遣在他前面的’, 你们自己可以给我作见证.

3:29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine is complete.
娶新妇的就是新郎; 新郎的朋友站着, 听见新郎的声音就甚喜乐. 故此, 我这喜乐满足了.

3:30 It is necessary for that one to increase, but for me to decrease.”
他必兴旺, 我必衰微. ”

3:31 The one who comes from above is over all. The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all.
“从天上来的是在万有之上; 从地上来的是属乎地, 他所说的也是属乎地. 从天上来的是在万有之上.

3:32 What he has seen and heard, this he testifies, and no one accepts his testimony.
他将所见所闻的见证出来, 只是没有人领受他的见证.

3:33 The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true.
那领受他见证的, 就印上印, 证明神是真的.

3:34 For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
神所差来的就说神的话, 因为神赐圣灵给他是没有限量的.

3:35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
父爱子, 已将万有交在他手里.

3:36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life—but the wrath of God remains on him.
信子的人有永生; 不信子的人得不著永生(原文是不得见永生), 神的震怒常在他身上. ”

John - Chapter 4

4:1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒, 施洗, 比约翰还多,

4:2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples),
(其实不是耶稣亲自施洗, 乃是他的门徒施洗, )

4:3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.
他就离了犹太, 又往加利利去.

4:4 And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
必须经过撒马利亚,

4:5 Now he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
于是到了撒马利亚的一座城, 名叫叙加, 靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地.

4:6 And Jacob’s well was there, so Jesus, because he had become tired from the journey, simply sat down at the well. It was about the sixth hour.
在那里有雅各井; 耶稣因走路困乏, 就坐在井旁. 那时约有午正.

4:7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me water to drink.”
有一个撒马利亚的妇人来打水. 耶稣对她说: “请你给我水喝. ”

4:8 (For his disciples had gone away into the town so that they could buy food.)
(那时门徒进城买食物去了. )

4:9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How do you, being a Jew, ask from me water to drink, since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
撒马利亚的妇人对他说: “你既是犹太人, 怎么向我一个撒马利亚妇人要水喝呢? ”原来犹太人和撒马利亚人没有来往.

4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
耶稣回答说: “你若知道神的恩赐, 和对你说‘给我水喝’的是谁, 你必早求他, 他也必早给了你活水. ”

4:11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket and the well is deep! From where then do you get this living water?
妇人说: “先生, 没有打水的器具, 井又深, 你从哪里得活水呢?

4:12 You are not greater than our father Jacob, are you, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his livestock?”
我们的祖宗雅各将这井留给我们, 他自己和儿子并牲畜也都喝这井里的水, 难道你比他还大吗? ”

4:13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.
耶稣回答说: “凡喝这水的还要再渴;

4:14 But whoever drinks of this water which I will give to him will never be thirsty for eternity, but the water which I will give to him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
人若喝我所赐的水就永远不渴. 我所赐的水要在他里头成为泉源, 直涌到永生. ”

4:15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw water!”
妇人说: “先生, 请把这水赐给我, 叫我不渴, 也不用来这么远打水. ”

4:16 He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”
耶稣说: “你去叫你丈夫也到这里来. ”

4:17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have said rightly, ‘I do not have a husband,’
妇人说: “我没有丈夫. ”耶稣说: “你说没有丈夫是不错的.

4:18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you have now is not your husband; this you have said truthfully!”
你已经有五个丈夫, 你现在有的并不是你的丈夫. 你这话是真的. ”

4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
妇人说: “先生, 我看出你是先知.

4:20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.”
我们的祖宗在这山上礼拜, 你们倒说, 应当礼拜的地方是在耶路撒冷. ”

4:21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
耶稣说: “妇人, 你当信我. 时候将到, 你们拜父, 也不在这山上, 也不在耶路撒冷.

4:22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
你们所拜的, 你们不知道; 我们所拜的, 我们知道, 因为救恩是从犹太人出来的.

4:23 But an hour is coming—and now is here—when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers.
时候将到, 如今就是了, 那真正拜父的, 要用心灵和诚实拜他, 因为父要这样的人拜他.

4:24 God is spirit, and the ones who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
神是个灵(或无个字), 所以拜他的必须用心灵和诚实拜他. ”

4:25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (the one called Christ); “whenever that one comes, he will proclaim all things to us.”
妇人说: “我知道弥赛亚(就是那称为基督的)要来; 他来了, 必将一切的事都告诉我们. ”

4:26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.
耶稣说: “这和你说话的就是他! ”

4:27 And at this point his disciples came, and they were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do you seek?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”
当下门徒回来, 就希奇耶稣和一个妇人说话; 只是没有人说: “你是要甚么? ”或说: “你为甚么和她说话? ”

4:28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into the town and said to the people,
那妇人就留下水罐子, 往城里去, 对众人说:

4:29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Perhaps this one is the Christ?”
“你们来看! 有一个人将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了, 莫非这就是基督吗? ”

4:30 They went out from the town and were coming to him.
众人就出城, 往耶稣那里去.

4:31 In the meanwhile the disciples were asking him, saying, “Rabbi, eat something!”
这其间, 门徒对耶稣说: “拉比, 请吃. ”

4:32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
耶稣说: “我有食物吃, 是你们不知道的. ”

4:33 So the disciples began to say to one another, “No one brought him anything to eat, did they?”
门徒就彼此对问说: “莫非有人拿甚么给他吃吗? ”

4:34 Jesus said to them, “My food is that I do the will of the one who sent me and complete his work.
耶稣说: “我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意, 做成他的工.

4:35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
你们岂不说‘到收割的时候还有四个月’吗? 我告诉你们, 举目向田观看, 庄稼已经熟了(原文是发白), 可以收割了.

4:36 The one who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, in order that the one who sows and the one who reaps can rejoice together.
收割的人得工价, 积蓄五谷到永生, 叫撒种的和收割的一同快乐.

4:37 For in this instance the saying is true, ‘It is one who sows and another who reaps.’
俗语说: ‘那人撒种, 这人收割’, 这话可见是真的.

4:38 I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have worked, and you have entered into their work.”
我差你们去收你们所没有劳苦的; 别人劳苦, 你们享受他们所劳苦的. ”

4:39 Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
那城里有好些撒马利亚人信了耶稣, 因为那妇人作见证说: “他将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了. ”

4:40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. And he stayed there two days.
于是撒马利亚人来见耶稣, 求他在他们那里住下, 他便在那里住了两天.

4:41 And many more believed because of his word,
因耶稣的话, 信的人就更多了,

4:42 And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of what you said do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!”
便对妇人说: “现在我们信, 不是因为你的话, 是我们亲自听见了, 知道这真是救世主. ”

4:43 And after the two days he departed from there into Galilee.
过了那两天, 耶稣离了那地方, 往加利利去.

4:44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own homeland.
因为耶稣自己作过见证说: “先知在本地是没有人尊敬的. ”

4:45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalem at the feast (for they themselves had also come to the feast).
到了加利利, 加利利人既然看见他在耶路撒冷过节所行的一切事, 就接待他, 因为他们也是上去过节.

4:46 Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was at Capernaum a certain royal official whose son was sick.
耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿, 就是他从前变水为酒的地方. 有一个大臣, 他的儿子在迦百农患病.

4:47 This man, when he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利, 就来见他, 求他下去医治他的儿子, 因为他儿子快要死了.

4:48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe!”
耶稣就对他说: “若不看见神蹟奇事, 你们总是不信. ”

4:49 The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
那大臣说: “先生, 求你趁着我的孩子还没有死就下去. ”

4:50 Jesus said to him, “Go, your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he departed.
耶稣对他说: “回去吧, 你的儿子活了! ”那人信耶稣所说的话就回去了.

4:51 Now as he was going down, his slaves met him, saying that his child was alive.
正下去的时候, 他的仆人迎见他, 说他的儿子活了.

4:52 So he inquired from them the hour at which he had gotten better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
他就问甚么时候见好的. 他们说: “昨日未时热就退了. ”

4:53 So the father knew that it was that same hour at which Jesus said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed, and his whole household.
他便知道这正是耶稣对他说“你儿子活了”的时候; 他自己和全家就都信了.

4:54 Now this is again a second sign Jesus performed when he came from Judea into Galilee.
这是耶稣在加利利行的第二件神蹟, 是他从犹太回去以后行的.

John - Chapter 5

5:1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
这事以后, 到了犹太人的一个节期, 耶稣就上耶路撒冷去.

5:2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool called in Aramaic Bethzatha, which has five porticoes.
在耶路撒冷, 靠近羊门有一个池子, 希伯来话叫作毕士大, 旁边有五个廊子;

5:3 In these were lying a large number of those who were sick, blind, lame, paralyzed.
里面躺着瞎眼的,瘸腿的,血气枯干的许多病人. (有古卷加: 等候水动;

5:4
因为有天使按时下池子搅动那水, 水动之后, 谁先下去, 无论害甚么病就痊愈了. )

5:5 And a certain man was there who had been thirty-eight years in his sickness.
在那里有一个人, 病了三十八年.

5:6 Jesus, when he saw this one lying there and knew that he had been sick a long time already, said to him, “Do you want to become well?”
耶稣看见他躺着, 知道他病了许久, 就问他说: “你要痊愈吗? ”

5:7 The one who was sick answered him, “Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another goes down before me.”
病人回答说: “先生, 水动的时候, 没有人把我放在池子里; 我正去的时候, 就有别人比我先下去. ”

5:8 Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!”
耶稣对他说: “起来, 拿你的褥子走吧! ”

5:9 And immediately the man became well and picked up his mat and began to walk. (Now it was the Sabbath on that day.)
那人立刻痊愈, 就拿起褥子来走了.

5:10 So the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permitted for you to pick up the mat!”
那天是安息日, 所以犹太人对那医好的人说: “今天是安息日, 你拿褥子是不可的. ”

5:11 But he answered them, “The one who made me well—that one said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk!’ ”
他却回答说: “那使我痊愈的, 对我说: ‘拿你的褥子走吧. ’”

5:12 So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk?’ ”
他们问他说: “对你说‘拿褥子走’的是甚么人? ”

5:13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn while a crowd was in the place.
那医好的人不知道是谁; 因为那里的人多, 耶稣已经躲开了.

5:14 After these things Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well! Sin no longer, lest something worse happen to you.”
后来耶稣在殿里遇见他, 对他说: “你已经痊愈了, 不要再犯罪, 恐怕你遭遇的更加利害. ”

5:15 The man went and reported to the Jews that Jesus was the one who made him well.
那人就去告诉犹太人, 使他痊愈的是耶稣.

5:16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
所以犹太人逼迫耶稣, 因为他在安息日做了这事.

5:17 But he answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
耶稣就对他们说: “我父做事直到如今, 我也做事. ”

5:18 So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.
所以犹太人越发想要杀他; 因他不但犯了安息日, 并且称神为他的父, 将自己和神当作平等.

5:19 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, the Son can do nothing from himself except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever that one does, these things also the Son does likewise.
耶稣对他们说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 子凭著自己不能做甚么, 惟有看见父所做的, 子才能做; 父所做的事, 子也照样做.

5:20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself is doing. And greater works than these he will show him, so that you will be astonished.
父爱子, 将自己所做的一切事指给他看, 还要将比这更大的事指给他看, 叫你们希奇.

5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and makes them alive, thus also the Son makes alive whomever he wishes.
父怎样叫死人起来, 使他们活着, 子也照样随自己的意思使人活着.

5:22 For the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
父不审判甚么人, 乃将审判的事全交与子,

5:23 in order that all people will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一样. 不尊敬子的, 就是不尊敬差子来的父.

5:24 Truly, truly I say to you that the one who hears my word and who believes the one who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 那听我话,又信差我来者的, 就有永生; 不至于定罪, 是已经出死入生了.

5:25 “Truly, truly I say to you, that an hour is coming—and now is here—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and the ones who hear will live.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 时候将到, 现在就是了, 死人要听见神儿子的声音, 听见的人就要活了.

5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, thus also he has granted to the Son to have life in himself.
因为父怎样在自己有生命, 就赐给他儿子也照样在自己有生命,

5:27 And he has granted him authority to carry out judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
并且因为他是人子, 就赐给他行审判的权柄.

5:28 “Do not be astonished at this, because an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear his voice
你们不要把这事看作希奇. 时候要到, 凡在坟墓里的, 都要听见他的声音, 就出来:

5:29 and they will come out—those who have done good things to a resurrection of life, but those who have practiced evil things to a resurrection of judgment.
行善的, 复活得生; 作恶的, 复活定罪.

5:30 I am able to do nothing from myself. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.
“我凭著自己不能做甚么, 我怎么听见就怎么审判. 我的审判也是公平的; 因为我不求自己的意思, 只求那差我来者的意思. ”

5:31 “If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true.
“我若为自己作见证, 我的见证就不真.

5:32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
另有一位给我作见证, 我也知道他给我作的见证是真的.

5:33 You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth.
你们曾差人到约翰那里, 他为真理作过见证.

5:34 (And I do not receive testimony from people, but I say these things in order that you may be saved.)
其实, 我所受的见证不是从人来的; 然而, 我说这些话, 为要叫你们得救.

5:35 That one was the lamp which was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice for an hour in his light.
约翰是点着的明灯, 你们情愿暂时喜欢他的光.

5:36 “But I have a testimony greater than John’s, for the works which the Father has given to me that I should complete them—the very works which I am doing—these testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
但我有比约翰更大的见证; 因为父交给我要我成就的事, 就是我所做的事, 这便见证我是父所差来的.

5:37 And the Father who sent me, that one has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his form.
差我来的父也为我作过见证. 你们从来没有听见他的声音, 也没有看见他的形像.

5:38 And you do not have his word residing in yourselves, because the one whom that one sent, in this one you do not believe.
你们并没有他的道存在心里; 因为他所差来的, 你们不信.

5:39 You search the scriptures because you think that you have eternal life in them, and it is these that testify about me.
你们查考圣经(或译: 应当查考圣经), 因你们以为内中有永生; 给我作见证的就是这经.

5:40 And you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
然而, 你们不肯到我这里来得生命.

5:41 “I do not accept glory from people,
“我不受从人来的荣耀.

5:42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
但我知道, 你们心里没有神的爱.

5:43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me. If another should come in his own name, you would accept that one!
我奉我父的名来, 你们并不接待我; 若有别人奉自己的名来, 你们倒要接待他.

5:44 How are you able to believe, if you accept glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God?
你们互相受荣耀, 却不求从独一之神来的荣耀, 怎能信我呢?

5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father! The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope!
不要想我在父面前要告你们; 有一位告你们的, 就是你们所仰赖的摩西.

5:46 For if you had believed Moses, you would believe me, for that one wrote about me.
你们如果信摩西, 也必信我, 因为他书上有指著我写的话.

5:47 But if you do not believe that one’s writings, how will you believe my words?”
你们若不信他的书, 怎能信我的话呢? ”

John - Chapter 6

6:1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias).
这事以后, 耶稣渡过加利利海, 就是提比哩亚海.

6:2 And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.
有许多人因为看见他在病人身上所行的神蹟, 就跟随他.

6:3 So Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.
耶稣上了山, 和门徒一同坐在那里.

6:4 (Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.)
那时犹太人的逾越节近了.

6:5 Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people can eat?”
耶稣举目看见许多人来, 就对腓力说: “我们从哪里买饼叫这些人吃呢? ”

6:6 (Now he said this to test him, because he knew what he was going to do.)
(他说这话是要试验腓力; 他自己原知道要怎样行. )

6:7 Philip replied to him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little.”
腓力回答说: “就是二十两银子的饼, 叫他们各人吃一点也是不够的. ”

6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,
有一个门徒, 就是西门•彼得的兄弟安得烈, 对耶稣说:

6:9 “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”
“在这里有一个孩童, 带着五个大麦饼,两条鱼, 只是分给这许多人还算甚么呢? ”

6:10 Jesus said, “Make the people recline.” (Now there was a lot of grass in the place.) So the men reclined, approximately five thousand in number.
耶稣说: “你们叫众人坐下. ”原来那地方的草多, 众人就坐下, 数目约有五千.

6:11 Then Jesus took the bread, and after he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were reclining—likewise also of the fish, as much as they wanted.
耶稣拿起饼来, 祝谢了, 就分给那坐着的人; 分鱼也是这样, 都随着他们所要的.

6:12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, “Gather the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost.”
他们吃饱了, 耶稣对门徒说: “把剩下的零碎收拾起来, 免得有糟蹋的. ”

6:13 So they gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
他们便将那五个大麦饼的零碎, 就是众人吃了剩下的, 收拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子.

6:14 Now when the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say, “This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!”
众人看见耶稣所行的神蹟, 就说: “这真是那要到世间来的先知! ”

6:15 Then Jesus, because he knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.
耶稣既知道众人要来强逼他作王, 就独自又退到山上去了.

6:16 Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
到了晚上, 他的门徒下海边去,

6:17 And getting into a boat, they began to go to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
上了船, 要过海往迦百农去. 天已经黑了, 耶稣还没有来到他们那里.

6:18 And the sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
忽然狂风大作, 海就翻腾起来.

6:19 Then when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
门徒摇橹, 约行了十里多路, 看见耶稣在海面上走, 渐渐近了船, 他们就害怕.

6:20 But he said to them, “It is I! Do not be afraid!”
耶稣对他们说: “是我, 不要怕! ”

6:21 So they were wanting to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.
门徒就喜欢接他上船, 船立时到了他们所要去的地方.

6:22 On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone.
第二日, 站在海那边的众人知道那里没有别的船, 只有一只小船, 又知道耶稣没有同他的门徒上船, 乃是门徒自己去的.

6:23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
然而, 有几只小船从提比哩亚来, 靠近主祝谢后分饼给人吃的地方.

6:24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
众人见耶稣和门徒都不在那里, 就上了船, 往迦百农去找耶稣.

6:25 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
既在海那边找著了, 就对他说: “拉比, 是几时到这里来的? ”

6:26 Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied!
耶稣回答说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 你们找我, 并不是因见了神蹟, 乃是因吃饼得饱.

6:27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one.”
不要为那必坏的食物劳力, 要为那存到永生的食物劳力, 就是人子要赐给你们的, 因为人子是父神所印证的. ”

6:28 So they said to him, “What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?”
众人问他说: “我们当行甚么才算做神的工呢? ”

6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom that one sent.”
耶稣回答说: “信神所差来的, 这就是做神的工. ”

6:30 So they said to him, “Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see it and believe you? What will you do?
他们又说: “你行甚么神蹟, 叫我们看见就信你; 你到底做甚么事呢?

6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’
我们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪, 如经上写着说: ‘他从天上赐下粮来给他们吃. ’”

6:32 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven!
耶稣说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 那从天上来的粮不是摩西赐给你们的, 乃是我父将天上来的真粮赐给你们.

6:33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
因为神的粮就是那从天上降下来,赐生命给世界的. ”

6:34 So they said to him, “Sir, always give us this bread!”
他们说: “主啊, 常将这粮赐给我们! ”

6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty again.
耶稣说: “我就是生命的粮. 到我这里来的, 必定不饿; 信我的, 永远不渴.

6:36 But I said to you that you have seen me and do not believe.
只是我对你们说过, 你们已经看见我, 还是不信.

6:37 Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out,
凡父所赐给我的人必到我这里来; 到我这里来的, 我总不丢弃他.

6:38 because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me.
因为我从天上降下来, 不是要按自己的意思行, 乃是要按那差我来者的意思行.

6:39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose any of them, but raise them up on the last day.
差我来者的意思就是: 他所赐给我的, 叫我一个也不失落, 在末日却叫他复活.

6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
因为我父的意思是叫一切见子而信的人得永生, 并且在末日我要叫他复活. ”

6:41 Now the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”
犹太人因为耶稣说“我是从天上降下来的粮”, 就私下议论他,

6:42 and they were saying, “Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
说: “这不是约瑟的儿子耶稣吗? 他的父母我们岂不认得吗? 他如今怎么说‘我是从天上降下来的’呢? ”

6:43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves!
耶稣回答说: “你们不要大家议论.

6:44 No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
若不是差我来的父吸引人, 就没有能到我这里来的; 到我这里来的, 在末日我要叫他复活.

6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me.
在先知书上写着说: ‘他们都要蒙神的教训. ’凡听见父之教训又学习的, 就到我这里来.

6:46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—this one has seen the Father.)
这不是说有人看见过父, 惟独从神来的, 他看见过父.

6:47 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 信的人有永生.

6:48 I am the bread of life.
我就是生命的粮.

6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
你们的祖宗在旷野吃过吗哪, 还是死了.

6:50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die.
这是从天上降下来的粮, 叫人吃了就不死.

6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
我是从天上降下来生命的粮; 人若吃这粮, 就必永远活着. 我所要赐的粮就是我的肉, 为世人之生命所赐的. ”

6:52 So the Jews began to quarrel among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
因此, 犹太人彼此争论说: “这个人怎能把他的肉给我们吃呢? ”

6:53 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves!
耶稣说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 你们若不吃人子的肉, 不喝人子的血, 就没有生命在你们里面.

6:54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
吃我肉,喝我血的人就有永生, 在末日我要叫他复活.

6:55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
我的肉真是可吃的, 我的血真是可喝的.

6:56 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me and I in him.
吃我肉,喝我血的人常在我里面, 我也常在他里面.

6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also the one who eats me—that one will live because of me.
永活的父怎样差我来, 我又因父活着; 照样, 吃我肉的人也要因我活着.

6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”
这就是从天上降下来的粮. 吃这粮的人就永远活着, 不像你们的祖宗吃过吗哪还是死了. ”

6:59 He said these things while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
这些话是耶稣在迦百农会堂里教训人说的.

6:60 Thus many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, “This saying is hard! Who can understand it?”
他的门徒中有好些人听见了, 就说: “这话甚难, 谁能听呢? ”

6:61 But Jesus, because he knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended?
耶稣心里知道门徒为这话议论, 就对他们说: “这话是叫你们厌弃(原文是跌倒)吗?

6:62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?
倘或你们看见人子升到他原来所在之处, 怎么样呢?

6:63 The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
叫人活着的乃是灵, 肉体是无益的. 我对你们所说的话就是灵, 就是生命.

6:64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)
只是你们中间有不信的人. ”耶稣从起头就知道谁不信他, 谁要卖他.

6:65 And he said, “Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.”
耶稣又说: “所以我对你们说过, 若不是蒙我父的恩赐, 没有人能到我这里来. ”

6:66 For this reason many of his disciples drew back and were not walking with him any longer.
从此, 他门徒中多有退去的, 不再和他同行.

6:67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”
耶稣就对那十二个门徒说: “你们也要去吗? ”

6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
西门•彼得回答说: “主啊, 你有永生之道, 我们还归从谁呢?

6:69 And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
我们已经信了, 又知道你是神的圣者. ”

6:70 Jesus replied to them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is the devil?”
耶稣说: “我不是拣选了你们十二个门徒吗? 但你们中间有一个是魔鬼. ”

6:71 (Now he was speaking about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, because this one—one of the twelve—was going to betray him.)
耶稣这话是指著加略人西门的儿子犹大说的; 他本是十二个门徒里的一个, 后来要卖耶稣的.

John - Chapter 7

7:1 And after these things Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
这事以后, 耶稣在加利利游行, 不愿在犹太游行, 因为犹太人想要杀他.

7:2 Now the feast of the Jews—the feast of Tabernacles—was near.
当时犹太人的住棚节近了.

7:3 So his brothers said to him, “Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.
耶稣的弟兄就对他说: “你离开这里上犹太去吧, 叫你的门徒也看见你所行的事.

7:4 For no one does anything in secret and yet he himself desires to be publicly recognized. If you are doing these things, reveal yourself to the world!”
人要显扬名声, 没有在暗处行事的; 你如果行这些事, 就当将自己显明给世人看. ”

7:5 (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
因为连他的弟兄说这话, 是因为不信他.

7:6 So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
耶稣就对他们说: “我的时候还没有到; 你们的时候常是方便的.

7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.
世人不能恨你们, 却是恨我, 因为我指证他们所做的事是恶的.

7:8 You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time is not yet completed.
你们上去过节吧, 我现在不上去过这节, 因为我的时候还没有满. ”

7:9 And when he had said these things, he remained in Galilee.
耶稣说了这话, 仍旧住在加利利.

7:10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but (as it were) in secret.
但他弟兄上去以后, 他也上去过节, 不是明去, 似乎是暗去的.

7:11 So the Jews were looking for him at the feast, and were saying, “Where is he?”
正在节期, 犹太人寻找耶稣, 说: “他在哪里? ”

7:12 And there was a lot of grumbling concerning him among the crowds; some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others were saying, “No, but he deceives the crowd.”
众人为他纷纷议论, 有的说: “他是好人. ”有的说: “不然, 他是迷惑众人的. ”

7:13 However, no one was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.
只是没有人明明地讲论他, 因为怕犹太人.

7:14 Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went to the temple courts and began to teach.
到了节期, 耶稣上殿里去教训人.

7:15 Then the Jews were astonished, saying, “How does this man possess knowledge, because he has not been taught?”
犹太人就希奇, 说: “这个人没有学过, 怎么明白书呢? ”

7:16 So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is from the one who sent me.
耶稣说: “我的教训不是我自己的, 乃是那差我来者的.

7:17 If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.
人若立志遵著他的旨意行, 就必晓得这教训或是出于神, 或是我凭著自己说的.

7:18 The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him—this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
人凭著自己说, 是求自己的荣耀; 惟有求那差他来者的荣耀, 这人是真的, 在他心里没有不义.

7:19 Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
摩西岂不是传律法给你们吗? 你们却没有一个人守律法. 为甚么想要杀我呢? ”

7:20 The crowd replied, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
众人回答说: “你是被鬼附着了! 谁想要杀你? ”

7:21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I performed one work, and you are all astonished.
耶稣说: “我做了一件事, 你们都以为希奇.

7:22 Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
摩西传割礼给你们(其实不是从摩西起的, 乃是从祖先起的), 因此你们也在安息日给人行割礼.

7:23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
人若在安息日受割礼, 免得违背摩西的律法, 我在安息日叫一个人全然好了, 你们就向我生气吗?

7:24 Do not judge according to outward appearance, but judge according to righteous judgment!”
不可按外貌断定是非, 总要按公平断定是非. ”

7:25 Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say, “Is this not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
耶路撒冷人中有的说: “这不是他们想要杀的人吗?

7:26 And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?
你看他还明明地讲道, 他们也不向他说甚么, 难道官长真知道这是基督吗?

7:27 Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes—no one knows where he is from!”
然而, 我们知道这个人从哪里来; 只是基督来的时候, 没有人知道他从哪里来. ”

7:28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple courts, teaching and saying, “You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
那时, 耶稣在殿里教训人, 大声说: “你们也知道我, 也知道我从哪里来; 我来并不是由于自己. 但那差我来的是真的. 你们不认识他,

7:29 I know him, because I am from him and he sent me.”
我却认识他; 因为我是从他来的, 他也是差了我来. ”

7:30 So they were seeking to seize him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
他们就想要捉拿耶稣; 只是没有人下手, 因为他的时候还没有到.

7:31 But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, will he?”
但众人中间有好些信他的, 说: “基督来的时候, 他所行的神蹟岂能比这人所行的更多吗? ”

7:32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order to take him into custody .
法利赛人听见众人为耶稣这样纷纷议论, 祭司长和法利赛人就打发差役去捉拿他.

7:33 Then Jesus said, “Yet a little time I am with you, and I am going to the one who sent me.
于是耶稣说: “我还有不多的时候和你们同在, 以后就回到差我来的那里去.

7:34 You will seek me and will not find me, and where I am, you cannot come.”
你们要找我, 却找不著; 我所在的地方你们不能到. ”

7:35 So the Jews said to one another, “Where is this one going to go, that we will not find him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?
犹太人就彼此对问说: “这人要往哪里去, 叫我们找不着呢? 难道他要往散住希腊中的犹太人那里去教训希腊人吗?

7:36 What is this saying that he said, ‘You will seek me and will not find me, and where I am, you cannot come’?”
他说: ‘你们要找我, 却找不著; 我所在的地方, 你们不能到’, 这话是甚么意思呢? ”

7:37 Now on the last day of the feast—the great day—Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink,
节期的末日, 就是最大之日, 耶稣站着高声说: “人若渴了, 可以到我这里来喝.

7:38 the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’ ”
信我的人就如经上所说: ‘从他腹中要流出活水的江河来. ’”

7:39 Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
耶稣这话是指著信他之人要受圣灵说的. 那时还没有赐下圣灵来, 因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀.

7:40 Then, when they heard these words, some from the crowd began to say, “This man is truly the Prophet!”
众人听见这话, 有的说: “这真是那先知. ”

7:41 Others were saying, “This man is the Christ!” But others were saying, “No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he?
有的说: “这是基督. ”但也有的说: “基督岂是从加利利出来的吗?

7:42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
经上岂不是说‘基督是大卫的后裔, 从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的’吗? ”

7:43 So there was a division in the crowd because of him.
于是众人因着耶稣起了纷争.

7:44 And some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid hands on him.
其中有人要捉拿他, 只是无人下手.

7:45 So the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”
差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里. 他们对差役说: “你们为甚么没有带他来呢? ”

7:46 The officers replied, “Never has a man spoken like this!”
差役回答说: “从来没有像他这样说话的! ”

7:47 Then the Pharisees replied to them, “You have not also been deceived, have you?
法利赛人说: “你们也受了迷惑吗?

7:48 None of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?
官长或是法利赛人岂有信他的呢?

7:49 But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!”
但这些不明白律法的百姓是被咒诅的! ”

7:50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him previously—who was one of them—said to them,
内中有尼哥底母, 就是从前去见耶稣的, 对他们说:

7:51 “Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
“不先听本人的口供, 不知道他所做的事, 难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗? ”

7:52 They answered and said to him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!” 〚
他们回答说: “你也是出于加利利吗? 你且去查考, 就可知道加利利没有出过先知. ”

7:53 And each one went to his own house.

John - Chapter 8

8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
于是各人都回家去了; 耶稣却往橄榄山去,

8:2 Now early in the morning he came again to the temple courts. And all the people were coming, and he sat down and began to teach them.
清早又回到殿里. 众百姓都到他那里去, 他就坐下, 教训他们.

8:3 Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in their midst,
文士和法利赛人带着一个行淫时被拿的妇人来, 叫她站在当中,

8:4 they said to him, testing him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery!
就对耶稣说: “夫子, 这妇人是正行淫之时被拿的.

8:5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”
摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死. 你说该把她怎么样呢? ”

8:6 (Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have an occasion to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with his finger on the ground, taking no notice.
他们说这话, 乃试探耶稣, 要得着告他的把柄. 耶稣却弯著腰, 用指头在地上画字.

8:7 And when they persisted in asking him, straightening up he said to them, “The one of you without sin, let him throw the first stone at her!”
他们还是不住地问他, 耶稣就直起腰来, 对他们说: “你们中间谁是没有罪的, 谁就可以先拿石头打她. ”

8:8 And bending down again, he wrote on the ground.
于是又弯著腰, 用指头在地上画字.

8:9 Now when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone—and the woman who was in their midst.
他们听见这话, 就从老到少, 一个一个地都出去了, 只剩下耶稣一人, 还有那妇人仍然站在当中.

8:10 So Jesus, straightening up and seeing no one except the woman, said to her, “Where are those accusers of yours? Does no one condemn you?”
耶稣就直起腰来, 对她说: “妇人, 那些人在哪里呢? 没有人定你的罪吗? ”

8:11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” So Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”〛
她说: “主啊, 没有. ”耶稣说: “我也不定你的罪. 去吧, 从此不要再犯罪了! ”

8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
耶稣又对众人说: “我是世界的光. 跟从我的, 就不在黑暗里走, 必要得着生命的光. ”

8:13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true.”
法利赛人对他说: “你是为自己作见证, 你的见证不真. ”

8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.
耶稣说: “我虽然为自己作见证, 我的见证还是真的; 因我知道我从哪里来, 往哪里去; 你们却不知道我从哪里来, 往哪里去.

8:15 You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone.
你们是以外貌(原文是凭肉身)判断人, 我却不判断人.

8:16 But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
就是判断人, 我的判断也是真的; 因为不是我独自在这里, 还有差我来的父与我同在.

8:17 And even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
你们的律法上也记着说: ‘两个人的见证是真的. ’

8:18 I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
我是为自己作见证, 还有差我来的父也是为我作见证. ”

8:19 So they were saying to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus replied, “You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”
他们就问他说: “你的父在哪里? ”耶稣回答说: “你们不认识我, 也不认识我的父; 若是认识我, 也就认识我的父. ”

8:20 He spoke these words by the treasury while teaching in the temple courts, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
这些话是耶稣在殿里的库房,教训人时所说的, 也没有人拿他, 因为他的时候还没有到.

8:21 So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!”
耶稣又对他们说: “我要去了, 你们要找我, 并且你们要死在罪中. 我所去的地方, 你们不能到. ”

8:22 Then the Jews began to say, “Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ”
犹太人说: “他说‘我所去的地方, 你们不能到’, 难道他要自尽吗? ”

8:23 And he said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.
耶稣对他们说: “你们是从下头来的, 我是从上头来的; 你们是属这世界的, 我不是属这世界的.

8:24 Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
所以我对你们说, 你们要死在罪中. 你们若不信我是基督, 必要死在罪中. ”

8:25 So they began to say to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have been saying to you from the beginning.
他们就问他说: “你是谁? ”耶稣对他们说: “就是我从起初所告诉你们的.

8:26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and the things which I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”
我有许多事讲论你们, 判断你们; 但那差我来的是真的, 我在他那里所听见的, 我就传给世人. ”

8:27 (They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)
他们不明白耶稣是指著父说的.

8:28 Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these things.
所以耶稣说: “你们举起人子以后, 必知道我是基督, 并且知道我没有一件事是凭著自己做的. 我说这些话乃是照着父所教训我的.

8:29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
那差我来的是与我同在; 他没有撇下我独自在这里, 因为我常做他所喜悦的事. ”

8:30 While he was saying these things, many believed in him.
耶稣说这话的时候, 就有许多人信他.

8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples,
耶稣对信他的犹太人说: “你们若常常遵守我的道, 就真是我的门徒;

8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
你们必晓得真理, 真理必叫你们得以自由. ”

8:33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, ‘You will become free’?”
他们回答说: “我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 从来没有作过谁的奴仆. 你怎么说‘你们必得以自由’呢? ”

8:34 Jesus replied to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
耶稣回答说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 所有犯罪的就是罪的奴仆.

8:35 And the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son remains forever.
奴仆不能永远住在家里; 儿子是永远住在家里.

8:36 So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.
所以天父的儿子若叫你们自由, 你们就真自由了.

8:37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.
我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的子孙, 你们却想要杀我, 因为你们心里容不下我的道.

8:38 I speak the things that I have seen with the Father; so also you do the things that you have heard from the Father.”
我所说的是在我父那里看见的; 你们所行的是在你们的父那里听见的. ”

8:39 They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father!” Jesus said to them, “If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!
他们说: “我们的父就是亚伯拉罕. ”耶稣说: “你们若是亚伯拉罕的儿子, 就必行亚伯拉罕所行的事.

8:40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.
我将在神那里所听见的真理告诉了你们, 现在你们却想要杀我, 这不是亚伯拉罕所行的事.

8:41 You are doing the deeds of your father!” They said to him, “We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!”
你们是行你们父所行的事. ”他们说: “我们不是从淫乱生的; 我们只有一位父, 就是神. ”

8:42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.
耶稣说: “倘若神是你们的父, 你们就必爱我; 因为我本是出于神, 也是从神而来, 并不是由著自己来, 乃是他差我来.

8:43 Why do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.
你们为甚么不明白我的话呢? 无非是因你们不能听我的道.

8:44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
你们是出于你们的父魔鬼, 你们父的私欲你们偏要行. 他从起初是杀人的, 不守真理, 因他心里没有真理. 他说谎是出于自己; 因他本来是说谎的, 也是说谎之人的父.

8:45 But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me.
我将真理告诉你们, 你们就因此不信我.

8:46 Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?
你们中间谁能指证我有罪呢? 我既然将真理告诉你们, 为甚么不信我呢?

8:47 The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen—because you are not of God.”
出于神的, 必听神的话; 你们不听, 因为你们不是出于神. ”

8:48 The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
犹太人回答说: “我们说你是撒马利亚人, 并且是鬼附着的, 这话岂不正对吗? ”

8:49 Jesus replied, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!
耶稣说: “我不是鬼附着的; 我尊敬我的父, 你们倒轻慢我.

8:50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges!
我不求自己的荣耀, 有一位为我求荣耀,定是非的.

8:51 Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death forever.”
我实实在在地告诉你们, 人若遵守我的道, 就永远不见死. ”

8:52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death forever.’
犹太人对他说: “现在我们知道你是鬼附着的. 亚伯拉罕死了, 众先知也死了, 你还说: ‘人若遵守我的道, 就永远不尝死味. ’

8:53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?”
难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗? 他死了, 众先知也死了, 你将自己当作甚么人呢? ”

8:54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
耶稣回答说: “我若荣耀自己, 我的荣耀就算不得甚么; 荣耀我的乃是我的父, 就是你们所说是你们的神.

8:55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.
你们未曾认识他; 我却认识他. 我若说不认识他, 我就是说谎的, 像你们一样; 但我认识他, 也遵守他的道.

8:56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕欢欢喜喜地仰望我的日子, 既看见了就快乐. ”

8:57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
犹太人说: “你还没有五十岁, 岂见过亚伯拉罕呢? ”

8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!”
耶稣说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我. ”

8:59 Then they picked up stones in order to throw them at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple courts.
于是他们拿石头要打他; 耶稣却躲藏, 从殿里出去了.

John - Chapter 9

9:1 And as he went away, he saw a man blind from birth.
耶稣过去的时候, 看见一个人生来是瞎眼的.

9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
门徒问耶稣说: “拉比, 这人生来是瞎眼的, 是谁犯了罪? 是这人呢? 是他父母呢? ”

9:3 Jesus replied, “Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God could be revealed in him.
耶稣回答说: “也不是这人犯了罪, 也不是他父母犯了罪, 是要在他身上显出神的作为来.

9:4 It is necessary for us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!
趁著白日, 我们必须做那差我来者的工; 黑夜将到, 就没有人能做工了.

9:5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
我在世上的时候, 是世上的光. ”

9:6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes.
耶稣说了这话, 就吐唾沫在地上, 用唾沫和泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上,

9:7 And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
对他说: “你往西罗亚池子里去洗. ”(西罗亚翻出来就是“奉差遣”. )他去一洗, 回头就看见了.

9:8 Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, “Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?”
他的邻舍和那素常见他是讨饭的, 就说: “这不是那从前坐着讨饭的人吗? ”

9:9 Others were saying, “It is this man”; others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” That one was saying, “I am he!”
有人说: “是他”; 又有人说: “不是, 却是像他. ”他自己说: “是我. ”

9:10 So they began to say to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
他们对他说: “你的眼睛是怎么开的呢? ”

9:11 He replied, “The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash!’ So I went, and I washed, and I received sight.”
他回答说: “有一个人, 名叫耶稣, 他和泥抹我的眼睛, 对我说: ‘你往西罗亚池子去洗. ’我去一洗, 就看见了. ”

9:12 And they said to him, “Where is that man?” He said, “I do not know.”
他们说: “那个人在哪里? ”他说: “我不知道. ”

9:13 They brought him—the one formerly blind—to the Pharisees.
他们把从前瞎眼的人带到法利赛人那里.

9:14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.)
耶稣和泥开他眼睛的日子是安息日.

9:15 So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
法利赛人也问他是怎么得看见的. 瞎子对他们说: “他把泥抹在我的眼睛上, 我去一洗, 就看见了. ”

9:16 So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!” Others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them.
法利赛人中有的说: “这个人不是从神来的, 因为他不守安息日. ”又有人说: “一个罪人怎能行这样的神蹟呢? ”他们就起了纷争.

9:17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
他们又对瞎子说: “他既然开了你的眼睛, 你说他是怎样的人呢? ”他说: “是个先知. ”

9:18 So the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received sight, until they summoned the parents of the one who received sight.
犹太人不信他从前是瞎眼, 后来能看见的, 等到叫了他的父母来,

9:19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this man your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
问他们说: “这是你们的儿子吗? 你们说他生来是瞎眼的, 如今怎么能看见了呢? ”

9:20 So his parents answered and said, “We know that this man is our son, and that he was born blind.
他父母回答说: “他是我们的儿子, 生来就瞎眼, 这是我们知道的.

9:21 But how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him! He is a mature adult; he will speak for himself!”
至于他如今怎么能看见, 我们却不知道; 是谁开了他的眼睛, 我们也不知道. 他已经成了人, 你们问他吧, 他自己必能说. ”

9:22 (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him to be Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
他父母说这话, 是怕犹太人; 因为犹太人已经商议定了, 若有认耶稣是基督的, 要把他赶出会堂.

9:23 Because of this his parents said, “He is a mature adult; ask him.”)
因此他父母说: “他已经成了人, 你们问他吧. ”

9:24 So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!”
所以法利赛人第二次叫了那从前瞎眼的人来, 对他说: “你该将荣耀归给神, 我们知道这人是个罪人. ”

9:25 Then that man replied, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know—that although I was blind, now I see!”
他说: “他是个罪人不是, 我不知道; 有一件事我知道, 从前我是眼瞎的, 如今能看见了. ”

9:26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
他们就问他说: “他向你做甚么? 是怎么开了你的眼睛呢? ”

9:27 He replied to them, “I told you already and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his disciples also, do you?”
他回答说: “我方才告诉你们, 你们不听, 为甚么又要听呢? 莫非你们也要作他的门徒吗? ”

9:28 They reviled him and said, “You are his disciple! But we are disciples of Moses!
他们就骂他说: “你是他的门徒; 我们是摩西的门徒.

9:29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
神对摩西说话是我们知道的; 只是这个人, 我们不知道他从哪里来! ”

9:30 The man answered and said to them, “For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes!
那人回答说: “他开了我的眼睛, 你们竟不知道他从哪里来, 这真是奇怪!

9:31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one.
我们知道神不听罪人, 惟有敬奉神,遵行他旨意的, 神才听他.

9:32 From time immemorial it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind.
从创世以来, 未曾听见有人把生来是瞎子的眼睛开了.

9:33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!”
这人若不是从神来的, 甚么也不能做. ”

9:34 They answered and said to him, “You were born completely in sin, and are you attempting to teach us?” And they threw him out.
他们回答说: “你全然生在罪孽中, 还要教训我们吗? ”于是把他赶出去了.

9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
耶稣听说他们把他赶出去, 后来遇见他, 就说: “你信神的儿子吗? ”

9:36 He answered and said, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?”
他回答说: “主啊, 谁是神的儿子, 叫我信他呢? ”

9:37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.” 〚
耶稣说: “你已经看见他, 现在和你说话的就是他. ”

9:38 And he said, “I believe, Lord!” and he worshiped him.
他说: “主啊, 我信! ”就拜耶稣.

9:39 And Jesus said,〛 “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!”
耶稣说: “我为审判到这世上来, 叫不能看见的, 可以看见; 能看见的, 反瞎了眼. ”

9:40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”
同他在那里的法利赛人听见这话, 就说: “难道我们也瞎了眼吗? ”

9:41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
耶稣对他们说: “你们若瞎了眼, 就没有罪了; 但如今你们说‘我们能看见’, 所以你们的罪还在. ”

John - Chapter 10

10:1 “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who does not enter through the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up at some other place—that one is a thief and a robber.
“我实实在在地告诉你们, 人进羊圈, 不从门进去, 倒从别处爬进去, 那人就是贼, 就是强盗.

10:2 But the one who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
从门进去的, 才是羊的牧人.

10:3 For this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
看门的就给他开门; 羊也听他的声音. 他按著名叫自己的羊, 把羊领出来.

10:4 Whenever he sends out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
既放出自己的羊来, 就在前头走, 羊也跟着他, 因为认得他的声音.

10:5 And they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
羊不跟着生人; 因为不认得他的声音, 必要逃跑. ”

10:6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what it was that he was saying to them.
耶稣将这比喻告诉他们, 但他们不明白所说的是甚么意思.

10:7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
所以, 耶稣又对他们说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 我就是羊的门.

10:8 All those who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep do not listen to them.
凡在我以先来的都是贼, 是强盗; 羊却不听他们.

10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and will go out and will find pasture.
我就是门; 凡从我进来的, 必然得救, 并且出入得草吃.

10:10 The thief comes only so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
盗贼来, 无非要偷窃, 杀害, 毁坏; 我来了, 是要叫羊(或译: 人)得生命, 并且得的更丰盛.

10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
我是好牧人; 好牧人为羊舍命.

10:12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf approaching and abandons the sheep and runs away—and the wolf seizes them and scatters them—
若是雇工, 不是牧人, 羊也不是他自己的, 他看见狼来, 就撇下羊逃走; 狼抓住羊, 赶散了羊群.

10:13 because he is a hired hand and he is not concerned about the sheep.
雇工逃走, 因他是雇工, 并不顾念羊.

10:14 “I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me,
我是好牧人; 我认识我的羊, 我的羊也认识我,

10:15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
正如父认识我, 我也认识父一样; 并且我为羊舍命.

10:16 And I have other sheep which are not from this fold. I must bring these also, and they will hear my voice, and they will become one flock—one shepherd.
我另外有羊, 不是这圈里的; 我必须领他们来, 他们也要听我的声音, 并且要合成一群, 归一个牧人了.

10:17 Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take possession of it again.
我父爱我; 因我将命舍去, 好再取回来.

10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take possession of it again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
没有人夺我的命去, 是我自己舍的. 我有权柄舍了, 也有权柄取回来. 这是我从我父所受的命令. ”

10:19 Again there was a division among the Jews because of these words.
犹太人为这些话又起了纷争.

10:20 And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?”
内中有好些人说: “他是被鬼附着, 而且疯了, 为甚么听他呢? ”

10:21 Others were saying, “These are not the words of one who is possessed by a demon! A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind, is it?”
又有人说: “这不是鬼附之人所说的话. 鬼岂能叫瞎子的眼睛开了呢? ”

10:22 Then the feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter,
在耶路撒冷有修殿节, 是冬天的时候.

10:23 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the Portico of Solomon.
耶稣在殿里所罗门的廊下行走.

10:24 So the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!”
犹太人围着他, 说: “你叫我们犹疑不定到几时呢? 你若是基督, 就明明地告诉我们. ”

10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe! The deeds that I do in the name of my Father, these testify about me.
耶稣回答说: “我已经告诉你们, 你们不信. 我奉我父之名所行的事可以为我作见证;

10:26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep!
只是你们不信, 因为你们不是我的羊.

10:27 My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
我的羊听我的声音, 我也认识他们, 他们也跟着我.

10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish forever, and no one will seize them out of my hand.
我又赐给他们永生; 他们永不灭亡, 谁也不能从我手里把他们夺去.

10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can seize them from the Father’s hand.
我父把羊赐给我, 他比万有都大, 谁也不能从我父手里把他们夺去.

10:30 The Father and I are one.”
我与父原为一. ”

10:31 Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.
犹太人又拿起石头来要打他.

10:32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good deeds from the Father. For which one of them are you going to stone me?”
耶稣对他们说: “我从父显出许多善事给你们看, 你们是为哪一件拿石头打我呢? ”

10:33 The Jews answered him, “We are not going to stone you concerning a good deed, but concerning blasphemy, and because you, although you are a man, make yourself to be God!”
犹太人回答说: “我们不是为善事拿石头打你, 是为你说僭妄的话; 又为你是个人, 反将自己当作神. ”

10:34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?
耶稣说: “你们的律法上岂不是写着‘我曾说你们是神’吗?

10:35 If he called them ‘gods’ to whom the word of God came—and the scripture cannot be broken—
经上的话是不能废的; 若那些承受神道的人尚且称为神,

10:36 do you say about he whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
父所分别为圣,又差到世间来的, 他自称是神的儿子, 你们还向他说‘你说僭妄的话’吗?

10:37 If I do not do the deeds of my Father, do not believe me.
我若不行我父的事, 你们就不必信我;

10:38 But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
我若行了, 你们纵然不信我, 也当信这些事, 叫你们又知道又明白父在我里面, 我也在父里面. ”

10:39 So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.
他们又要拿他, 他却逃出他们的手走了.

10:40 And he went away again on the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there.
耶稣又往约旦河外去, 到了约翰起初施洗的地方, 就住在那里.

10:41 And many came to him and began to say, “John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true!”
有许多人来到他那里. 他们说: “约翰一件神蹟没有行过, 但约翰指著这人所说的一切话都是真的. ”

10:42 And many believed in him there.
在那里, 信耶稣的人就多了.

John - Chapter 11

11:1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
有一个患病的人, 名叫拉撒路, 住在伯大尼, 就是马利亚和她姊姊马大的村庄.

11:2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
这马利亚就是那用香膏抹主, 又用头发擦他脚的; 患病的拉撒路是她的兄弟.

11:3 So the sisters sent word to him, saying, “Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.”
她姊妹两个就打发人去见耶稣, 说: “主啊, 你所爱的人病了. ”

11:4 And when he heard it, Jesus said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
耶稣听见, 就说: “这病不至于死, 乃是为神的荣耀, 叫神的儿子因此得荣耀. ”

11:5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
耶稣素来爱马大和她妹子并拉撒路.

11:6 So when he heard that he was sick, then he remained in the place where he was two days.
听见拉撒路病了, 就在所居之地仍住了两天.

11:7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
然后对门徒说: “我们再往犹太去吧. ”

11:8 The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were seeking just now to stone you, and are you going there again?”
门徒说: “拉比, 犹太人近来要拿石头打你, 你还往那里去吗? ”

11:9 Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
耶稣回答说: “白日不是有十二小时吗? 人在白日走路, 就不至跌倒, 因为看见这世上的光.

11:10 But if anyone walks around in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
若在黑夜走路, 就必跌倒, 因为他没有光. ”

11:11 He said these things, and after this he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him.”
耶稣说了这话, 随后对他们说: “我们的朋友拉撒路睡了, 我去叫醒他. ”

11:12 So the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”
门徒说: “主啊, 他若睡了, 就必好了. ”

11:13 (Now Jesus had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about real sleep.)
耶稣这话是指著他死说的, 他们却以为是说照常睡了.

11:14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
耶稣就明明地告诉他们说: “拉撒路死了.

11:15 and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
我没有在那里就欢喜, 这是为你们的缘故, 好叫你们相信. 如今我们可以往他那里去吧. ”

11:16 Then Thomas (the one who is called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go also, so that we may die with him.”
多马, 又称为低土马, 就对那同作门徒的说: “我们也去和他同死吧. ”

11:17 So when he arrived, Jesus found he had already been four days in the tomb.
耶稣到了, 就知道拉撒路在坟墓里已经四天了.

11:18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.
伯大尼离耶路撒冷不远, 约有六里路.

11:19 So many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary in order to console them concerning their brother.)
有好些犹太人来看马大和马利亚, 要为她们的兄弟安慰她们.

11:20 Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
马大听见耶稣来了, 就出去迎接他; 马利亚却仍然坐在家里.

11:21 So Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
马大对耶稣说: “主啊, 你若早在这里, 我兄弟必不死.

11:22 Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you.”
就是现在, 我也知道, 你无论向神求甚么, 神也必赐给你. ”

11:23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
耶稣说: “你兄弟必然复活. ”

11:24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
马大说: “我知道在末日复活的时候, 他必复活. ”

11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
耶稣对她说: “复活在我, 生命也在我. 信我的人虽然死了, 也必复活;

11:26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever. Do you believe this?”
凡活着信我的人必永远不死. 你信这话吗? ”

11:27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”
马大说: “主啊, 是的, 我信你是基督, 是神的儿子, 就是那要临到世界的. ”

11:28 And when she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
马大说了这话, 就回去暗暗地叫她妹子马利亚, 说: “夫子来了, 叫你. ”

11:29 So that one, when she heard it, got up quickly and went to him.
马利亚听见了, 就急忙起来, 到耶稣那里去.

11:30 (Now Jesus has not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha went to meet him.)
那时, 耶稣还没有进村子, 仍在马大迎接他的地方.

11:31 So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary—that she stood up quickly and went out—followed her, because they thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.
那些同马利亚在家里安慰她的犹太人, 见她急忙起来出去, 就跟着她, 以为她要往坟墓那里去哭.

11:32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
马利亚到了耶稣那里, 看见他, 就俯伏在他脚前, 说: “主啊, 你若早在这里, 我兄弟必不死. ”

11:33 Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled within himself.
耶稣看见她哭, 并看见与她同来的犹太人也哭, 就心里悲叹, 又甚忧愁,

11:34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
便说: “你们把他安放在哪里? ”他们回答说: “请主来看. ”

11:35 Jesus wept.
耶稣哭了.

11:36 So the Jews were saying, “See how he loved him!”
犹太人就说: “你看他爱这人是何等恳切. ”

11:37 But some of them said, “Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do something so that this man also would not have died?”
其中有人说: “他既然开了瞎子的眼睛, 岂不能叫这人不死吗? ”

11:38 Then Jesus, deeply moved within himself again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it.
耶稣又心里悲叹, 来到坟墓前; 那坟墓是个洞, 有一块石头挡着.

11:39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, “Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days.”
耶稣说: “你们把石头挪开. ”那死人的姊姊马大对他说: “主啊, 他现在必是臭了, 因为他死了已经四天了. ”

11:40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
耶稣说: “我不是对你说过, 你若信, 就必看见神的荣耀吗? ”

11:41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above and said, “Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me.
他们就把石头挪开. 耶稣举目望天, 说: “父啊, 我感谢你, 因为你已经听我.

11:42 And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said it, so that they may believe that you sent me.”
我也知道你常听我, 但我说这话是为周围站着的众人, 叫他们信是你差了我来. ”

11:43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
说了这话, 就大声呼叫说: “拉撒路出来! ”

11:44 The one who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped with a facecloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
那死人就出来了, 手脚裹着布, 脸上包著手巾. 耶稣对他们说: “解开, 叫他走! ”

11:45 Then many of the Jews who had come with Mary and saw the things which he did believed in him.
那些来看马利亚的犹太人见了耶稣所做的事, 就多有信他的;

11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
但其中也有去见法利赛人的, 将耶稣所做的事告诉他们.

11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!
祭司长和法利赛人聚集公会, 说: “这人行好些神蹟, 我们怎么办呢?

11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
若这样由著他, 人人都要信他, 罗马人也要来夺我们的地土和我们的百姓. ”

11:49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all!
内中有一个人, 名叫该亚法, 本年作大祭司, 对他们说: “你们不知道甚么.

11:50 Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish.”
独不想一个人替百姓死, 免得通国灭亡, 就是你们的益处. ”

11:51 (Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
他这话不是出于自己, 是因他本年作大祭司, 所以预言耶稣将要替这一国死;

11:52 and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)
也不但替这一国死, 并要将神四散的子民都聚集归一.

11:53 So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.
从那日起, 他们就商议要杀耶稣.

11:54 So Jesus was no longer walking openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
所以, 耶稣不再显然行在犹太人中间, 就离开那里往靠近旷野的地方去, 到了一座城, 名叫以法莲, 就在那里和门徒同住.

11:55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the surrounding country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves.
犹太人的逾越节近了, 有许多人从乡下上耶路撒冷去, 要在节前洁净自己.

11:56 So they were looking for Jesus, and were speaking with one another while standing in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”
他们就寻找耶稣, 站在殿里彼此说: “你们的意思如何, 他不来过节吗? ”

11:57 (Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it, in order that they could arrest him.)
那时, 祭司长和法利赛人早已吩咐说, 若有人知道耶稣在哪里, 就要报明, 好去拿他.

John - Chapter 12

12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
逾越节前六日, 耶稣来到伯大尼, 就是他叫拉撒路从死里复活之处.

12:2 So they made him a dinner there, and Martha was serving, but Lazarus was one of the ones reclining at table with him.
有人在那里给耶稣预备筵席; 马大伺候, 拉撒路也在那同耶稣坐席的人中.

12:3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of very valuable genuine nard and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
马利亚就拿着一斤极贵的真哪哒香膏, 抹耶稣的脚, 又用自己头发去擦, 屋里就满了膏的香气.

12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him) said,
有一个门徒, 就是那将要卖耶稣的加略人犹大,

12:5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
说: “这香膏为甚么不卖三十两银子赒济穷人呢? ”

12:6 (Now he said this not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, he used to steal what was put into it.)
他说这话, 并不是挂念穷人, 乃因他是个贼, 又带着钱囊, 常取其中所存的.

12:7 So Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my preparation for burial.
耶稣说: “由她吧! 她是为我安葬之日存留的.

12:8 For you have the poor with you always, but you do not always have me.”
因为常有穷人和你们同在, 只是你们不常有我. ”

12:9 Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.
有许多犹太人知道耶稣在那里, 就来了, 不但是为耶稣的缘故, 也是要看他从死里所复活的拉撒路.

12:10 So the chief priests decided that they would kill Lazarus also,
但祭司长商议连拉撒路也要杀了;

12:11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going and believing in Jesus.
因有好些犹太人为拉撒路的缘故, 回去信了耶稣.

12:12 On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
第二天, 有许多上来过节的人听见耶稣将到耶路撒冷,

12:13 took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and began crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel!”
就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他, 喊著说: 和散那! 奉主名来的以色列王是应当称颂的!

12:14 So Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
耶稣得了一个驴驹, 就骑上, 如经上所记的说:

12:15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion! Behold, your king is coming, seated on the foal of a donkey!”
锡安的民(原文是女子)哪, 不要惧怕! 你的王骑著驴驹来了.

12:16 (His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and they did these things to him.)
这些事门徒起先不明白, 等到耶稣得了荣耀以后才想起这话是指著他写的, 并且众人果然向他这样行了.

12:17 So the crowd who was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify.
当耶稣呼唤拉撒路, 叫他从死复活出坟墓的时候, 同耶稣在那里的众人就作见证.

12:18 Because of this also the crowd went to meet him, for they had heard that he had performed this sign.
众人因听见耶稣行了这神蹟, 就去迎接他.

12:19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him.”
法利赛人彼此说: “看哪, 你们是徒劳无益, 世人都随从他去了. ”

12:20 Now some Greeks were among those who had gone up in order to worship at the feast.
那时, 上来过节礼拜的人中, 有几个希腊人.

12:21 So these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and began asking him saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
他们来见加利利伯赛大的腓力, 求他说: “先生, 我们愿意见耶稣. ”

12:22 Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
腓力去告诉安得烈, 安得烈同腓力去告诉耶稣.

12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man will be glorified.
耶稣说: “人子得荣耀的时候到了.

12:24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 一粒麦子不落在地里死了, 仍旧是一粒, 若是死了, 就结出许多子粒来.

12:25 The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world preserves it for eternal life.
爱惜自己生命的, 就失丧生命; 在这世上恨恶自己生命的, 就要保守生命到永生.

12:26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
若有人服事我, 就当跟从我; 我在哪里, 服事我的人也要在那里; 若有人服事我, 我父必尊重他. ”

12:27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, deliver me from this hour’? But for this reason I have come to this hour!
“我现在心里忧愁, 我说甚么才好呢? 父啊, 救我脱离这时候; 但我原是为这时候来的.

12:28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
父啊, 愿你荣耀你的名! ”当时就有声音从天上来, 说: “我已经荣耀了我的名, 还要再荣耀. ”

12:29 Now the crowd that stood there and heard it said it had thundered. Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to him!”
站在旁边的众人听见, 就说: “打雷了. ”还有人说: “有天使对他说话. ”

12:30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not happened for my sake, but for your sake.
耶稣说: “这声音不是为我, 是为你们来的.

12:31 Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out!
现在这世界受审判, 这世界的王要被赶出去.

12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
我若从地上被举起来, 就要吸引万人来归我. ”

12:33 (Now he said this to indicate by what sort of death he was going to die.)
耶稣这话原是指著自己将要怎样死说的.

12:34 Then the crowd replied to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever! And how do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
众人回答说: “我们听见律法上有话说, 基督是永存的, 你怎么说‘人子必须被举起来’呢? 这人子是谁呢? ”

12:35 So Jesus said to them, “Yet a little time the light is with you! Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness does not overtake you! And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
耶稣对他们说: “光在你们中间还有不多的时候, 应当趁著有光行走, 免得黑暗临到你们; 那在黑暗里行走的, 不知道往何处去.

12:36 While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said these things, and then he went away and was hidden from them.
你们应当趁著有光, 信从这光, 使你们成为光明之子. ”耶稣说了这话, 就离开他们隐藏了.

12:37 But as many signs as he had performed before them, they did not believe in him,
他虽然在他们面前行了许多神蹟, 他们还是不信他.

12:38 in order that the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
这是要应验先知以赛亚的话, 说: 主啊, 我们所传的有谁信呢? 主的膀臂向谁显露呢?

12:39 For this reason they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said,
他们所以不能信, 因为以赛亚又说:

12:40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn, and I heal them.”
主叫他们瞎了眼, 硬了心, 免得他们眼睛看见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 我就医治他们.

12:41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and he spoke about him.
以赛亚因为看见他的荣耀, 就指著他说这话.

12:42 Yet despite that, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be expelled from the synagogue.
虽然如此, 官长中却有好些信他的, 只因法利赛人的缘故, 就不承认, 恐怕被赶出会堂.

12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than praise from God.
这是因他们爱人的荣耀过于爱神的荣耀.

12:44 But Jesus cried out and said, “The one who believes in me does not believe in me, but in the one who sent me,
耶稣大声说: “信我的, 不是信我, 乃是信那差我来的.

12:45 and the one who sees me sees the one who sent me.
人看见我, 就是看见那差我来的.

12:46 I have come as a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.
我到世上来, 乃是光, 叫凡信我的, 不住在黑暗里.

12:47 And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
若有人听见我的话不遵守, 我不审判他. 我来本不是要审判世界, 乃是要拯救世界.

12:48 The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
弃绝我,不领受我话的人, 有审判他的─就是我所讲的道在末日要审判他.

12:49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me what I should say and what I should speak.
因为我没有凭著自己讲, 惟有差我来的父已经给我命令, 叫我说甚么, 讲甚么.

12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So the things that I say, just as the Father said to me, thus I say.”
我也知道他的命令就是永生. 故此, 我所讲的话正是照着父对我所说的. ”

John - Chapter 13

13:1 Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, and having loved his own in the world, loved them to the end.
逾越节以前, 耶稣知道自己离世归父的时候到了. 他既然爱世间属自己的人, 就爱他们到底.

13:2 And as a dinner was taking place, when the devil had already put into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him,
吃晚饭的时候, 魔鬼已将卖耶稣的意思放在西门的儿子加略人犹大心里.

13:3 because he knew that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,
耶稣知道父已将万有交在他手里, 且知道自己是从神出来的, 又要归到神那里去,

13:4 he got up from the dinner and took off his outer clothing, and taking a towel, tied it around himself.
就离席站起来, 脱了衣服, 拿一条手巾束腰,

13:5 Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them dry with the towel which he had tied around himself.
随后把水倒在盆里, 就洗门徒的脚, 并用自己所束的手巾擦干.

13:6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
挨到西门•彼得, 彼得对他说: “主啊, 你洗我的脚吗? ”

13:7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand after these things.”
耶稣回答说: “我所做的, 你如今不知道, 后来必明白. ”

13:8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet forever!” Jesus replied to him, “Unless I wash you, you do not have a share with me.”
彼得说: “你永不可洗我的脚! ”耶稣说: “我若不洗你, 你就与我无分了. ”

13:9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
西门•彼得说: “主啊, 不但我的脚, 连手和头也要洗. ”

13:10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed only needs to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not all of you.”
耶稣说: “凡洗过澡的人, 只要把脚一洗, 全身就干净了. 你们是干净的, 然而不都是干净的. ”

13:11 (For he knew the one who would betray him; because of this he said, “Not all of you are clean.”)
耶稣原知道要卖他的是谁, 所以说: “你们不都是干净的. ”

13:12 So when he had washed their feet and taken his outer clothing and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done for you?
耶稣洗完了他们的脚, 就穿上衣服, 又坐下, 对他们说: “我向你们所做的, 你们明白吗?

13:13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you speak correctly, for I am.
你们称呼我夫子, 称呼我主, 你们说的不错, 我本来是.

13:14 If then I—your Lord and Teacher—wash your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
我是你们的主, 你们的夫子, 尚且洗你们的脚, 你们也当彼此洗脚.

13:15 For I have given you an example, that just as I have done for you, you also do.
我给你们作了榜样, 叫你们照着我向你们所做的去做.

13:16 Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 仆人不能大于主人, 差人也不能大于差他的人.

13:17 If you understand these things, you are blessed if you do them.
你们既知道这事, 若是去行就有福了.

13:18 “I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, ‘The one who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.’
我这话不是指著你们众人说的, 我知道我所拣选的是谁. 现在要应验经上的话, 说: ‘同我吃饭的人用脚踢我. ’

13:19 From now on I am telling you before it happens, in order that when it happens you may believe that I am he.
如今事情还没有成就, 我要先告诉你们, 叫你们到事情成就的时候可以信我是基督.

13:20 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who receives anyone I send receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me.”
我实实在在地告诉你们, 有人接待我所差遣的, 就是接待我; 接待我, 就是接待那差遣我的. ”

13:21 When he had said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, “Truly, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me.”
耶稣说了这话, 心里忧愁, 就明说: “我实实在在地告诉你们, 你们中间有一个人要卖我了. ”

13:22 The disciples began looking at one another, uncertain about whom he was speaking.
门徒彼此对看, 猜不透所说的是谁.

13:23 One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining close beside Jesus.
有一个门徒, 是耶稣所爱的, 侧身挨近耶稣的怀里.

13:24 So Simon Peter gestured for this one to inquire who it was about whom he was speaking.
西门•彼得点头对他说: “你告诉我们, 主是指著谁说的. ”

13:25 He leaned back accordingly against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Lord, who is it?”
那门徒便就势靠着耶稣的胸膛, 问他说: “主啊, 是谁呢? ”

13:26 Jesus replied, “It is he to whom I dip the piece of bread and give it to him.” Then after dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.
耶稣回答说: “我蘸一点饼给谁, 就是谁. ”耶稣就蘸了一点饼, 递给加略人西门的儿子犹大.

13:27 And after the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly!”
他吃了以后, 撒但就入了他的心. 耶稣便对他说: “你所做的, 快做吧! ”

13:28 (Now no one of those reclining at table knew for what reason he said this to him.
同席的人没有一个知道是为甚么对他说这话.

13:29 For some were thinking because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, “Purchase what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.)
有人因犹大带着钱囊, 以为耶稣是对他说: “你去买我们过节所应用的东西”, 或是叫他拿甚么赒济穷人.

13:30 So after he had taken the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night.
犹大受了那点饼, 立刻就出去. 那时候是夜间了.

13:31 Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
他既出去, 耶稣就说: “如今人子得了荣耀, 神在人子身上也得了荣耀.

13:32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will glorify him immediately.
神要因自己荣耀人子, 并且要快快地荣耀他.

13:33 Children, yet a little time I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, “Where I am going you cannot come,” now I say also to you.
小子们, 我还有不多的时候与你们同在; 后来你们要找我, 但我所去的地方你们不能到. 这话我曾对犹太人说过, 如今也照样对你们说.

13:34 “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
我赐给你们一条新命令, 乃是叫你们彼此相爱; 我怎样爱你们, 你们也要怎样相爱.

13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”
你们若有彼此相爱的心, 众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了. ”

13:36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”
西门•彼得问耶稣说: “主往哪里去? ”耶稣回答说: “我所去的地方, 你现在不能跟我去, 后来却要跟我去. ”

13:37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!”
彼得说: “主啊, 我为甚么现在不能跟你去? 我愿意为你舍命! ”

13:38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!
耶稣说: “你愿意为我舍命吗? 我实实在在地告诉你, 鸡叫以先, 你要三次不认我. ”

John - Chapter 14

14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.
“你们心里不要忧愁; 你们信神, 也当信我.

14:2 In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because I am going away to prepare a place for you.
在我父的家里有许多住处; 若是没有, 我就早已告诉你们了. 我去原是为你们预备地方去.

14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.
我若去为你们预备了地方, 就必再来接你们到我那里去, 我在哪里, 叫你们也在那里.

14:4 And you know the way where I am going.”
我往哪里去, 你们知道; 那条路, 你们也知道(有古卷: 我往哪里去, 你们知道那条路). ”

14:5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How are we able to know the way?”
多马对他说: “主啊, 我们不知道你往哪里去, 怎么知道那条路呢? ”

14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
耶稣说: “我就是道路,真理,生命; 若不藉著我, 没有人能到父那里去.

14:7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you know him and have seen him.”
你们若认识我, 也就认识我的父. 从今以后, 你们认识他, 并且已经看见他. ”

14:8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
腓力对他说: “求主将父显给我们看, 我们就知足了. ”

14:9 Jesus said to him, “Am I with you so long a time and you have not known me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Father! How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
耶稣对他说: “腓力, 我与你们同在这样长久, 你还不认识我吗? 人看见了我, 就是看见了父; 你怎么说‘将父显给我们看’呢?

14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from myself, but the Father residing in me does his works.
我在父里面, 父在我里面, 你不信吗? 我对你们所说的话, 不是凭著自己说的, 乃是住在我里面的父做他自己的事.

14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.
你们当信我, 我在父里面, 父在我里面; 即或不信, 也当因我所做的事信我.

14:12 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in me, the works that I am doing he will do also, and he will do greater works than these because I am going to the Father.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 我所做的事, 信我的人也要做, 并且要做比这更大的事, 因为我往父那里去.

14:13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do this, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
你们奉我的名无论求甚么, 我必成就, 叫父因儿子得荣耀.

14:14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
你们若奉我的名求甚么, 我必成就. ”

14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
“你们若爱我, 就必遵守我的命令.

14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever—
我要求父, 父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师(或译: 训慰师; 下同), 叫他永远与你们同在,

14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
就是真理的圣灵, 乃世人不能接受的; 因为不见他, 也不认识他. 你们却认识他, 因他常与你们同在, 也要在你们里面.

14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.
我不撇下你们为孤儿, 我必到你们这里来.

14:19 Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.
还有不多的时候, 世人不再看见我, 你们却看见我; 因为我活着, 你们也要活着.

14:20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
到那日, 你们就知道我在父里面, 你们在我里面, 我也在你们里面.

14:21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
有了我的命令又遵守的, 这人就是爱我的; 爱我的必蒙我父爱他, 我也要爱他, 并且要向他显现. ”

14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
犹大(不是加略人犹大)问耶稣说: “主啊, 为甚么要向我们显现, 不向世人显现呢? ”

14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and will take up residence with him.
耶稣回答说: “人若爱我, 就必遵守我的道; 我父也必爱他, 并且我们要到他那里去, 与他同住.

14:24 The one who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
不爱我的人就不遵守我的道. 你们所听见的道不是我的, 乃是差我来之父的道.

14:25 These things I have spoken to you while residing with you.
“我还与你们同住的时候, 已将这些话对你们说了.

14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name—that one will teach you all things, and will remind you of everything that I said to you.
但保惠师, 就是父因我的名所要差来的圣灵, 他要将一切的事指教你们, 并且要叫你们想起我对你们所说的一切话.

14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you—not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
我留下平安给你们; 我将我的平安赐给你们. 我所赐的, 不像世人所赐的. 你们心里不要忧愁, 也不要胆怯.

14:28 You have heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.
你们听见我对你们说了, 我去还要到你们这里来. 你们若爱我, 因我到父那里去, 就必喜乐, 因为父是比我大的.

14:29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
现在事情还没有成就, 我预先告诉你们, 叫你们到事情成就的时候就可以信.

14:30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has no power over me.
以后我不再和你们多说话, 因为这世界的王将到. 他在我里面是毫无所有;

14:31 But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!
但要叫世人知道我爱父, 并且父怎样吩咐我, 我就怎样行. 起来, 我们走吧! ”

John - Chapter 15

15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
“我是真葡萄树, 我父是栽培的人.

15:2 Every branch that does not bear fruit in me, he removes it, and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it in order that it may bear more fruit.
凡属我不结果子的枝子, 他就剪去; 凡结果子的, 他就修理干净, 使枝子结果子更多.

15:3 You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
现在你们因我讲给你们的道, 已经干净了.

15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit from itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
你们要常在我里面, 我也常在你们里面. 枝子若不常在葡萄树上, 自己就不能结果子; 你们若不常在我里面, 也是这样.

15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him—this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything.
我是葡萄树, 你们是枝子. 常在我里面的, 我也常在他里面, 这人就多结果子; 因为离了我, 你们就不能做甚么.

15:6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and dries up, and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
人若不常在我里面, 就像枝子丢在外面枯干, 人拾起来, 扔在火里烧了.

15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
你们若常在我里面, 我的话也常在你们里面, 凡你们所愿意的, 祈求, 就给你们成就.

15:8 My Father is glorified by this: that you bear much fruit, and prove to be my disciples.
你们多结果子, 我父就因此得荣耀, 你们也就是我的门徒了.

15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
我爱你们, 正如父爱我一样; 你们要常在我的爱里.

15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
你们若遵守我的命令, 就常在我的爱里, 正如我遵守了我父的命令, 常在他的爱里.

15:11 I have spoken these things to you in order that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made complete.
“这些事我已经对你们说了, 是要叫我的喜乐存在你们心里, 并叫你们的喜乐可以满足.

15:12 This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.
你们要彼此相爱, 像我爱你们一样; 这就是我的命令.

15:13 No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.
人为朋友舍命, 人的爱心没有比这个大的.

15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
你们若遵行我所吩咐的, 就是我的朋友了.

15:15 No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.
以后我不再称你们为仆人, 因仆人不知道主人所做的事. 我乃称你们为朋友; 因我从我父所听见的, 已经都告诉你们了.

15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
不是你们拣选了我, 是我拣选了你们, 并且分派你们去结果子, 叫你们的果子常存, 使你们奉我的名, 无论向父求甚么, 他就赐给你们.

15:17 These things I command you: that you love one another.
我这样吩咐你们, 是要叫你们彼此相爱. ”

15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
“世人若恨你们, 你们知道(或译: 该知道), 恨你们以先已经恨我了.

15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.
你们若属世界, 世界必爱属自己的; 只因你们不属世界, 乃是我从世界中拣选了你们, 所以世界就恨你们.

15:20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
你们要记念我从前对你们所说的话: ‘仆人不能大于主人. ’他们若逼迫了我, 也要逼迫你们; 若遵守了我的话, 也要遵守你们的话.

15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
但他们因我的名要向你们行这一切的事, 因为他们不认识那差我来的.

15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they do not have a valid excuse for their sin.
我若没有来教训他们, 他们就没有罪; 但如今他们的罪无可推诿了.

15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father also.
恨我的, 也恨我的父.

15:24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
我若没有在他们中间行过别人未曾行的事, 他们就没有罪; 但如今连我与我的父, 他们也看见也恨恶了.

15:25 But this happened so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a reason.’
这要应验他们律法上所写的话, 说: ‘他们无故地恨我. ’

15:26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father—that one will testify about me.
但我要从父那里差保惠师来, 就是从父出来真理的圣灵; 他来了, 就要为我作见证.

15:27 And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
你们也要作见证, 因为你们从起头就与我同在. ”

John - Chapter 16

16:1 “I have said these things to you so that you will not fall away.
“我已将这些事告诉你们, 使你们不至于跌倒.

16:2 They will expel you from the synagogue, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.
人要把你们赶出会堂, 并且时候将到, 凡杀你们的就以为是事奉神.

16:3 And they will do these things because they do not know the Father or me.
他们这样行, 是因未曾认识父, 也未曾认识我.

16:4 But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. “And I have not said these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
我将这事告诉你们, 是叫你们到了时候可以想起我对你们说过了. ”“我起先没有将这事告诉你们, 因为我与你们同在.

16:5 But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’
现今我往差我来的父那里去, 你们中间并没有人问我: ‘你往哪里去? ’

16:6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
只因我将这事告诉你们, 你们就满心忧愁.

16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
然而, 我将真情告诉你们, 我去是与你们有益的; 我若不去, 保惠师就不到你们这里来; 我若去, 就差他来.

16:8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:
他既来了, 就要叫世人为罪,为义,为审判, 自己责备自己.

16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,
为罪, 是因他们不信我;

16:10 and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you will see me no more,
为义, 是因我往父那里去, 你们就不再见我;

16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
为审判, 是因这世界的王受了审判.

16:12 I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.
“我还有好些事要告诉你们, 但你们现在担当不了(或译: 不能领会).

16:13 But when he—the Spirit of truth—comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come.
只等真理的圣灵来了, 他要引导你们明白(原文是进入)一切的真理; 因为他不是凭自己说的, 乃是把他所听见的都说出来, 并要把将来的事告诉你们.

16:14 He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
他要荣耀我, 因为他要将受于我的告诉你们.

16:15 Everything that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he takes from what is mine and will proclaim it to you.
凡父所有的, 都是我的; 所以我说, 他要将受于我的告诉你们. ”

16:16 “A little while and you will see me no more, and again a little while and you will see me.
“等不多时, 你们就不得见我; 再等不多时, 你们还要见我. ”

16:17 So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he is saying to us, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going away to the Father’?”
有几个门徒就彼此说: “他对我们说: ‘等不多时, 你们就不得见我; 再等不多时, 你们还要见我’; 又说: ‘因我往父那里去. ’这是甚么意思呢? ”

16:18 So they kept on saying, “What is this that he is saying, ‘A little while’? We do not understand what he is speaking about!”
门徒彼此说: “他说‘等不多时’到底是甚么意思呢? 我们不明白他所说的话. ”

16:19 Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask him, and he said to them, “Are you deliberating with one another about this—that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’?
耶稣看出他们要问他, 就说: “我说‘等不多时, 你们就不得见我; 再等不多时, 你们还要见我’, 你们为这话彼此相问吗?

16:20 Truly, truly I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will change to joy.
我实实在在地告诉你们, 你们将要痛哭,哀号, 世人倒要喜乐; 你们将要忧愁, 然而你们的忧愁要变为喜乐.

16:21 A woman, when she gives birth, experiences pain because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the affliction, on account of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.
妇人生产的时候就忧愁, 因为她的时候到了; 既生了孩子, 就不再记念那苦楚, 因为欢喜世上生了一个人.

16:22 So you also are experiencing sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy from you.
你们现在也是忧愁, 但我要再见你们, 你们的心就喜乐了; 这喜乐也没有人能夺去.

16:23 And on that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
到那日, 你们甚么也就不问我了. 我实实在在地告诉你们, 你们若向父求甚么, 他必因我的名赐给你们.

16:24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
向来你们没有奉我的名求甚么, 如今你们求, 就必得着, 叫你们的喜乐可以满足. ”

16:25 “I have said these things to you in figurative sayings. An hour is coming when I will speak to you in figurative sayings no longer, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.
“这些事, 我是用比喻对你们说的; 时候将到, 我不再用比喻对你们说, 乃要将父明明地告诉你们.

16:26 On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
到那日, 你们要奉我的名祈求; 我并不对你们说, 我要为你们求父.

16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
父自己爱你们; 因为你们已经爱我, 又信我是从父出来的.

16:28 I have gone out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”
我从父出来, 到了世界; 我又离开世界, 往父那里去. ”

16:29 His disciples said, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly and are telling us no figurative saying!
门徒说: “如今你是明说, 并不用比喻了.

16:30 Now we know that you know everything and do not need for anyone to ask you questions. By this we believe that you have come from God.”
现在我们晓得你凡事都知道, 也不用人问你, 因此我们信你是从神出来的. ”

16:31 Jesus replied to them, “Now do you believe?
耶稣说: “现在你们信吗?

16:32 Behold, an hour is coming—and has come—that you will be scattered each one to his own home, and you will leave me alone. And I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
看哪, 时候将到, 且是已经到了, 你们要分散, 各归自己的地方去, 留下我独自一人; 其实我不是独自一人, 因为有父与我同在.

16:33 I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world.”
我将这些事告诉你们, 是要叫你们在我里面有平安. 在世上, 你们有苦难; 但你们可以放心, 我已经胜了世界. ”

John - Chapter 17

17:1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he said, “Father, the hour has come! Glorify your Son, in order that your Son may glorify you—
耶稣说了这话, 就举目望天, 说: “父啊, 时候到了, 愿你荣耀你的儿子, 使儿子也荣耀你;

17:2 just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them—everyone whom you have given him.
正如你曾赐给他权柄管理凡有血气的, 叫他将永生赐给你所赐给他的人.

17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
认识你─独一的真神, 并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督, 这就是永生.

17:4 I have glorified you on earth by completing the work that you have given me to do.
我在地上已经荣耀你, 你所托付我的事, 我已成全了.

17:5 And now, Father, you glorify me at your side with the glory that I had at your side before the world existed.
父啊, 现在求你使我同你享荣耀, 就是未有世界以先, 我同你所有的荣耀.

17:6 “I have revealed your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me, and they have kept your word.
“你从世上赐给我的人, 我已将你的名显明与他们. 他们本是你的, 你将他们赐给我, 他们也遵守了你的道.

17:7 Now they understand that all the things that you have given me are from you,
如今他们知道, 凡你所赐给我的, 都是从你那里来的;

17:8 because the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they received them and know truly that I have come from you, and they have believed that you have sent me.
因为你所赐给我的道, 我已经赐给他们, 他们也领受了, 又确实知道, 我是从你出来的, 并且信你差了我来.

17:9 I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,
我为他们祈求, 不为世人祈求, 却为你所赐给我的人祈求, 因他们本是你的.

17:10 and all my things are yours, and your things are mine, and I have been glorified in them.
凡是我的, 都是你的; 你的也是我的, 并且我因他们得了荣耀.

17:11 And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are.
从今以后, 我不在世上, 他们却在世上; 我往你那里去. 圣父啊, 求你因你所赐给我的名保守他们, 叫他们合而为一像我们一样.

17:12 When I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given to me, and guarded them, and none of them has perished except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled.
我与他们同在的时候, 因你所赐给我的名保守了他们, 我也护卫了他们; 其中除了那灭亡之子, 没有一个灭亡的, 好叫经上的话得应验.

17:13 And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.
现在我往你那里去, 我还在世上说这话, 是叫他们心里充满我的喜乐.

17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.
我已将你的道赐给他们. 世界又恨他们; 因为他们不属世界, 正如我不属世界一样.

17:15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.
我不求你叫他们离开世界, 只求你保守他们脱离那恶者(或译: 脱离罪恶).

17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
他们不属世界, 正如我不属世界一样.

17:17 Sanctify them in the truth—your word is truth.
求你用真理使他们成圣; 你的道就是真理.

17:18 Just as you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
你怎样差我到世上, 我也照样差他们到世上.

17:19 And for them I sanctify myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in the truth.
我为他们的缘故, 自己分别为圣, 叫他们也因真理成圣.

17:20 “And I do not ask on behalf of these only, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word,
“我不但为这些人祈求, 也为那些因他们的话信我的人祈求,

17:21 that they all may be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.
使他们都合而为一. 正如你父在我里面, 我在你里面, 使他们也在我们里面, 叫世人可以信你差了我来.

17:22 And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, in order that they may be one, just as we are one—
你所赐给我的荣耀, 我已赐给他们, 使他们合而为一, 像我们合而为一.

17:23 I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.
我在他们里面, 你在我里面, 使他们完完全全地合而为一, 叫世人知道你差了我来, 也知道你爱他们如同爱我一样.

17:24 “Father, those whom you have given to me—I want that those also may be with me where I am, in order that they may see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
父啊, 我在哪里, 愿你所赐给我的人也同我在那里, 叫他们看见你所赐给我的荣耀; 因为创立世界以前, 你已经爱我了.

17:25 Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these men have come to know that you sent me.
公义的父啊, 世人未曾认识你, 我却认识你; 这些人也知道你差了我来.

17:26 And I made known to them your name, and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I may be in them.”
我已将你的名指示他们, 还要指示他们, 使你所爱我的爱在他们里面, 我也在他们里面. ”

John - Chapter 18

18:1 When Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples entered.
耶稣说了这话, 就同门徒出去, 过了汲沦溪. 在那里有一个园子, 他和门徒进去了.

18:2 (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, also knew about the place, because Jesus often gathered there with his disciples.)
卖耶稣的犹大也知道那地方, 因为耶稣和门徒屡次上那里去聚集.

18:3 So Judas, taking the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
犹大领了一队兵, 和祭司长并法利赛人的差役, 拿着灯笼,火把,兵器, 就来到园里.

18:4 Then Jesus, because he knew all the things that were coming upon him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
耶稣知道将要临到自己的一切事, 就出来对他们说: “你们找谁? ”

18:5 They replied to him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He said to them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was also standing with them.)
他们回答说: “找拿撒勒人耶稣. ”耶稣说: “我就是! ”卖他的犹大也同他们站在那里.

18:6 So when he said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
耶稣一说“我就是”, 他们就退后倒在地上.

18:7 Then he asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
他又问他们说: “你们找谁? ”他们说: “找拿撒勒人耶稣. ”

18:8 Jesus replied, “I said to you that I am he! So if you are looking for me, let these men go,”
耶稣说: “我已经告诉你们, 我就是. 你们若找我, 就让这些人去吧. ”

18:9 in order that the word that he had spoken would be fulfilled: “Those whom you have given to me—I have not lost anyone of them.”
这要应验耶稣从前的话, 说: “你所赐给我的人, 我没有失落一个. ”

18:10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. (Now the name of the slave was Malchus.)
西门•彼得带着一把刀, 就拔出来, 将大祭司的仆人砍了一刀, 削掉他的右耳; 那仆人名叫马勒古.

18:11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath! The cup that the Father has given me—shall I not drink it?”
耶稣就对彼得说: “收刀入鞘吧, 我父所给我的那杯, 我岂可不喝呢? ”

18:12 Then the cohort and the military tribune and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and tied him up,
那队兵和千夫长, 并犹太人的差役就拿住耶稣, 把他捆绑了,

18:13 and brought him to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
先带到亚那面前, 因为亚那是本年作大祭司该亚法的岳父.

18:14 (Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was better that one man die for the people.)
这该亚法就是从前向犹太人发议论说“一个人替百姓死是有益的”那位.

18:15 So Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. (Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.)
西门•彼得跟着耶稣, 还有一个门徒跟着. 那门徒是大祭司所认识的, 他就同耶稣进了大祭司的院子.

18:16 But Peter was standing by the door outside. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.
彼得却站在门外. 大祭司所认识的那个门徒出来, 和看门的使女说了一声, 就领彼得进去.

18:17 Then the female slave who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, “You are not also one of the disciples of this man, are you?” He said, “I am not!”
那看门的使女对彼得说: “你不也是这人的门徒吗? ”他说: “我不是. ”

18:18 (Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire because it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing there with them and warming himself.)
仆人和差役因为天冷, 就生了炭火, 站在那里烤火; 彼得也同他们站著烤火.

18:19 So the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
大祭司就以耶稣的门徒和他的教训盘问他.

18:20 Jesus replied to him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple courts where all the Jews assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
耶稣回答说: “我从来是明明地对世人说话. 我常在会堂和殿里, 就是犹太人聚集的地方教训人; 我在暗地里并没有说甚么.

18:21 Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these people know what I said.”
你为甚么问我呢? 可以问那听见的人, 我对他们说的是甚么; 我所说的, 他们都知道. ”

18:22 Now when he had said these things, one of the officers who was standing by gave a slap in the face to Jesus, saying, “Do you reply to the high priest in this way?”
耶稣说了这话, 旁边站着的一个差役用手掌打他, 说: “你这样回答大祭司吗? ”

18:23 Jesus replied to him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what is wrong! But if I have spoken correctly, why do you strike me?”
耶稣说: “我若说的不是, 你可以指证那不是; 我若说的是, 你为甚么打我呢? ”

18:24 Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.
亚那就把耶稣解到大祭司该亚法那里, 仍是捆着解去的.

18:25 Now Simon Peter was standing there and warming himself. So they said to him, “You are not also one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not!”
西门•彼得正站着烤火, 有人对他说: “你不也是他的门徒吗? ”彼得不承认, 说: “我不是. ”

18:26 One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?”
有大祭司的一个仆人, 是彼得削掉耳朵那人的亲属, 说: “我不是看见你同他在园子里吗? ”

18:27 So Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
彼得又不承认. 立时鸡就叫了.

18:28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s residence. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the governor’s residence so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.
众人将耶稣从该亚法那里往衙门内解去, 那时天还早. 他们自己却不进衙门, 恐怕染了污秽, 不能吃逾越节的筵席.

18:29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
彼拉多就出来, 到他们那里, 说: “你们告这人是为甚么事呢? ”

18:30 They answered and said to him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have handed him over to you!”
他们回答说: “这人若不是作恶的, 我们就不把他交给你. ”

18:31 So Pilate said to them, “You take him and judge him according to your law!” The Jews said to him, “It is not permitted for us to kill anyone,”
彼拉多说: “你们自己带他去, 按著你们的律法审问他吧. ”犹太人说: “我们没有杀人的权柄. ”

18:32 in order that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled that he had spoken, indicating by what sort of death he was going to die.
这要应验耶稣所说自己将要怎样死的话了.

18:33 Then Pilate entered again into the governor’s residence and summoned Jesus and said to him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
彼拉多又进了衙门, 叫耶稣来, 对他说: “你是犹太人的王吗? ”

18:34 Jesus replied, “Do you say this from yourself, or have others said this to you about me?”
耶稣回答说: “这话是你自己说的, 还是别人论我对你说的呢? ”

18:35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your people and the chief priests handed you over to me! What have you done?”
彼拉多说: “我岂是犹太人呢? 你本国的人和祭司长把你交给我. 你做了甚么事呢? ”

18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.”
耶稣回答说: “我的国不属这世界; 我的国若属这世界, 我的臣仆必要争战, 使我不至于被交给犹太人. 只是我的国不属这世界. ”

18:37 Then Pilate said to him, “So then you are a king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I have come into the world: in order that I can testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.”
彼拉多就对他说: “这样, 你是王吗? ”耶稣回答说: “你说我是王. 我为此而生, 也为此来到世间, 特为给真理作见证. 凡属真理的人就听我的话. ”

18:38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no basis for an accusation against him.
彼拉多说: “真理是甚么呢? ”说了这话, 又出来到犹太人那里, 对他们说: “我查不出他有甚么罪来.

18:39 But it is your custom that I release for you one prisoner at the Passover. So do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?”
但你们有个规矩, 在逾越节要我给你们释放一个人, 你们要我给你们释放犹太人的王吗? ”

18:40 Then they shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
他们又喊著说: “不要这人, 要巴拉巴! ”这巴拉巴是个强盗.

John - Chapter 19

19:1 So then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
当下彼拉多将耶稣鞭打了.

19:2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and placed it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,
兵丁用荆棘编做冠冕戴在他头上, 给他穿上紫袍,

19:3 and were coming up to him and saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” and were giving him slaps in the face.
又挨近他, 说: “恭喜, 犹太人的王啊! ”他们就用手掌打他.

19:4 And Pilate came outside again and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing him outside to you, so that you will know that I find no basis for an accusation against him.”
彼拉多又出来对众人说: “我带他出来见你们, 叫你们知道我查不出他有甚么罪来. ”

19:5 Then Jesus came outside wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, and he said to them, “Behold the man!”
耶稣出来, 戴着荆棘冠冕, 穿着紫袍. 彼拉多对他们说: “你们看这个人! ”

19:6 So when they saw him, the chief priests and the officers shouted, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate said to them, “You take him and crucify him! For I do not find a basis for an accusation against him.”
祭司长和差役看见他, 就喊著说: “钉他十字架! 钉他十字架! ”彼拉多说: “你们自己把他钉十字架吧! 我查不出他有甚么罪来. ”

19:7 The Jews replied to him, “We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself out to be the Son of God!”
犹太人回答说: “我们有律法, 按那律法, 他是该死的, 因他以自己为神的儿子. ”

19:8 So when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid,
彼拉多听见这话, 越发害怕,

19:9 and he entered into the governor’s residence again and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.
又进衙门, 对耶稣说: “你是哪里来的? ”耶稣却不回答.

19:10 So Pilate said to him, “Will you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I have authority to crucify you?”
彼拉多说: “你不对我说话吗? 你岂不知我有权柄释放你, 也有权柄把你钉十字架吗? ”

19:11 Jesus replied to him, “You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has greater sin.”
耶稣回答说: “若不是从上头赐给你的, 你就毫无权柄办我. 所以, 把我交给你的那人罪更重了. ”

19:12 From this point on Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews shouted, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar! Everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar!”
从此, 彼拉多想要释放耶稣, 无奈犹太人喊著说: “你若释放这个人, 就不是凯撒的忠臣(原文是朋友). 凡以自己为王的, 就是背叛凯撒了. ”

19:13 So Pilate, when he heard these words, brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat, in the place called The Stone Pavement (but Gabbatha in Aramaic).
彼拉多听见这话, 就带耶稣出来, 到了一个地方, 名叫“铺华石处”, 希伯来话叫厄巴大, 就在那里坐堂.

19:14 (Now it was the day of preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour.) And he said to the Jews, “Behold your king!”
那日是预备逾越节的日子, 约有午正. 彼拉多对犹太人说: “看哪, 这是你们的王! ”

19:15 Then those shouted, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests replied, “We do not have a king except Caesar!”
他们喊著说: “除掉他! 除掉他! 钉他在十字架上! ”彼拉多说: “我可以把你们的王钉十字架吗? ”祭司长回答说: “除了凯撒, 我们没有王. ”

19:16 So then he handed him over to them in order that he could be crucified. So they took Jesus,
于是彼拉多将耶稣交给他们去钉十字架.

19:17 and carrying for himself the cross, he went out to the place called The Place of a Skull (which is called Golgotha in Aramaic),
他们就把耶稣带了去. 耶稣背着自己的十字架出来, 到了一个地方, 名叫“髑髅地”, 希伯来话叫各各他.

19:18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.
他们就在那里钉他在十字架上, 还有两个人和他一同钉著, 一边一个, 耶稣在中间.

19:19 And Pilate also wrote a notice and placed it on the cross, and it was written: “Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews.”
彼拉多又用牌子写了一个名号, 安在十字架上, 写的是: “犹太人的王, 拿撒勒人耶稣. ”

19:20 So many of the Jews read this notice, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
有许多犹太人念这名号; 因为耶稣被钉十字架的地方与城相近, 并且是用希伯来,罗马,希腊三样文字写的.

19:21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The king of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, I am king of the Jews.’ ”
犹太人的祭司长就对彼拉多说: “不要写‘犹太人的王’, 要写‘他自己说: 我是犹太人的王’. ”

19:22 Pilate replied, “What I have written, I have written.”
彼拉多说: “我所写的, 我已经写上了. ”

19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his clothing and made four shares—for each soldier a share—and the tunic. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top in a single piece.)
兵丁既然将耶稣钉在十字架上, 就拿他的衣服分为四分, 每兵一分; 又拿他的里衣, 这件里衣原来没有缝儿, 是上下一片织成的.

19:24 So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it apart, but cast lots for it, to see whose it will be,” so that the scripture would be fulfilled that says, “They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.” Thus the soldiers did these things.
他们就彼此说: “我们不要撕开, 只要拈阄, 看谁得着. ”这要应验经上的话说: 他们分了我的外衣, 为我的里衣拈阄. 兵丁果然做了这事.

19:25 Now his mother and the sister of his mother, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene were standing near the cross of Jesus.
站在耶稣十字架旁边的, 有他母亲与他母亲的姊妹, 并革罗罢的妻子马利亚, 和抹大拉的马利亚.

19:26 So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son!”
耶稣见母亲和他所爱的那门徒站在旁边, 就对他母亲说: “母亲(原文是妇人), 看, 你的儿子! ”

19:27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.
又对那门徒说: “看, 你的母亲! ”从此, 那门徒就接她到自己家里去了.

19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that now at last everything was completed, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”
这事以后, 耶稣知道各样的事已经成了, 为要使经上的话应验, 就说: “我渴了. ”

19:29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it to his mouth.
有一个器皿盛满了醋, 放在那里; 他们就拿海绒蘸满了醋, 绑在牛膝草上, 送到他口.

19:30 Then when he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed,” and bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.
耶稣尝(原文是受)了那醋, 就说: “成了! ”便低下头, 将灵魂交付神了.

19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.
犹太人因这日是预备日, 又因那安息日是个大日, 就求彼拉多叫人打断他们的腿, 把他们拿去, 免得尸首当安息日留在十字架上.

19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.
于是兵丁来, 把头一个人的腿, 并与耶稣同钉第二个人的腿, 都打断了.

19:33 But when they came to Jesus, after they saw he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
只是来到耶稣那里, 见他已经死了, 就不打断他的腿.

19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately.
惟有一个兵拿枪扎他的肋旁, 随即有血和水流出来.

19:35 And the one who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true, and that person knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
看见这事的那人就作见证─他的见证也是真的, 并且他知道自己所说的是真的─叫你们也可以信.

19:36 For these things happened in order that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not a bone of his will be broken.”
这些事成了, 为要应验经上的话说: “他的骨头一根也不可折断. ”

19:37 And again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”
经上又有一句说: “他们要仰望自己所扎的人. ”

19:38 And after these things, Joseph who was from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but a secret one for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed it, so he came and took away his body.
这些事以后, 有亚利马太人约瑟, 是耶稣的门徒, 只因怕犹太人, 就暗暗地作门徒. 他来求彼拉多, 要把耶稣的身体领去. 彼拉多允准, 他就把耶稣的身体领去了.

19:39 And Nicodemus—the one who had come to him formerly at night—also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds.
又有尼哥底母, 就是先前夜里去见耶稣的, 带着没药和沉香约有一百斤前来.

19:40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in strips of linen cloth with the fragrant spices, as is the Jews’ custom to prepare for burial.
他们就照犹太人殡葬的规矩, 把耶稣的身体用细麻布加上香料裹好了.

19:41 Now there was a garden at the place where he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one was yet buried.
在耶稣钉十字架的地方有一个园子, 园子里有一座新坟墓, 是从来没有葬过人的.

19:42 So there, on account of the day of preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was close by, they buried Jesus.
只因是犹太人的预备日, 又因那坟墓近, 他们就把耶稣安放在那里.

John - Chapter 20

20:1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
七日的第一日清早, 天还黑的时候, 抹大拉的马利亚来到坟墓那里, 看见石头从坟墓挪开了,

20:2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him!”
就跑来见西门•彼得和耶稣所爱的那个门徒, 对他们说: “有人把主从坟墓里挪了去, 我们不知道放在哪里. ”

20:3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out and were going to the tomb.
彼得和那门徒就出来, 往坟墓那里去.

20:4 And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first.
两个人同跑, 那门徒比彼得跑得更快, 先到了坟墓,

20:5 And bending over to look, he saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, though he did not go in.
低头往里看, 就见细麻布还放在那里, 只是没有进去.

20:6 Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there,
西门•彼得随后也到了, 进坟墓里去, 就看见细麻布还放在那里,

20:7 and the facecloth that was on his head—not lying with the strips of linen cloth, but folded up separately in one place.
又看见耶稣的裹头巾没有和细麻布放在一处, 是另在一处卷著.

20:8 So then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed.
先到坟墓的那门徒也进去, 看见就信了.

20:9 (For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)
(因为他们还不明白圣经的意思, 就是耶稣必要从死里复活. )

20:10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
于是两个门徒回自己的住处去了.

20:11 But Mary stood outside at the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bent over to look into the tomb,
马利亚却站在坟墓外面哭. 哭的时候, 低头往坟墓里看,

20:12 and she saw two angels in white, seated one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been lying.
就见两个天使, 穿着白衣, 在安放耶稣身体的地方坐着, 一个在头, 一个在脚.

20:13 And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!”
天使对她说: “妇人, 你为甚么哭? ”她说: “因为有人把我主挪了去, 我不知道放在那里. ”

20:14 When she had said these things, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus.
说了这话, 就转过身来, 看见耶稣站在那里, 却不知道是耶稣.

20:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She thought that it was the gardener, and said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.”
耶稣问她说: “妇人, 为甚么哭? 你找谁呢? ”马利亚以为是看园的, 就对他说: “先生, 若是你把他移了去, 请告诉我, 你把他放在哪里, 我便去取他. ”

20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned around and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”).
耶稣说: “马利亚. ”马利亚就转过来, 用希伯来话对他说: “拉波尼! ”(拉波尼就是夫子的意思. )

20:17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ ”
耶稣说: “不要摸我, 因我还没有升上去见我的父. 你往我弟兄那里去, 告诉他们说, 我要升上去见我的父, 也是你们的父, 见我的神, 也是你们的神. ”

20:18 Mary Magdalene came and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and he had said these things to her.
抹大拉的马利亚就去告诉门徒说: “我已经看见了主. ”她又将主对她说的这话告诉他们.

20:19 Now when it was evening on that day—the first day of the week—and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace to you.”
那日(就是七日的第一日)晚上, 门徒所在的地方, 因怕犹太人, 门都关了. 耶稣来, 站在当中, 对他们说: “愿你们平安! ”

20:20 And when he had said this, he showed his hands and his side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
说了这话, 就把手和肋旁指给他们看. 门徒看见主, 就喜乐了.

20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”
耶稣又对他们说: “愿你们平安! 父怎样差遣了我, 我也照样差遣你们. ”

20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
说了这话, 就向他们吹一口气, 说: “你们受圣灵!

20:23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
你们赦免谁的罪, 谁的罪就赦免了; 你们留下谁的罪, 谁的罪就留下了. ”

20:24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
那十二个门徒中, 有称为低土马的多马; 耶稣来的时候, 他没有和他们同在.

20:25 So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!”
那些门徒就对他说: “我们已经看见主了. ”多马却说: “我非看见他手上的钉痕, 用指头探入那钉痕, 又用手探入他的肋旁, 我总不信. ”

20:26 And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Although the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you.”
过了八日, 门徒又在屋里, 多马也和他们同在, 门都关了. 耶稣来, 站在当中说: “愿你们平安! ”

20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Place your finger here and see my hands, and place your hand and put it into my side. And do not be unbelieving, but believing!”
就对多马说: “伸过你的指头来, 摸(原文是看)我的手; 伸出你的手来, 探入我的肋旁. 不要疑惑, 总要信! ”

20:28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
多马说: “我的主! 我的神! ”

20:29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
耶稣对他说: “你因看见了我才信; 那没有看见就信的有福了. ”

20:30 Now Jesus also performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not recorded in this book,
耶稣在门徒面前另外行了许多神蹟, 没有记在这书上.

20:31 but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
但记这些事要叫你们信耶稣是基督, 是神的儿子, 并且叫你们信了他, 就可以因他的名得生命.

John - Chapter 21

21:1 After these things Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. Now he revealed himself in this way:
这些事以后, 耶稣在提比哩亚海边又向门徒显现. 他怎样显现记在下面:

21:2 Simon Peter and Thomas (who was called Didymus) and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and two others of his disciples were together.
有西门•彼得和称为低土马的多马, 并加利利的迦拿人拿但业, 还有西庇太的两个儿子, 又有两个门徒, 都在一处.

21:3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing!” They said to him, “We also are coming with you.” They went out and got into the boat, and during that night they caught nothing.
西门•彼得对他们说: “我打鱼去. ”他们说: “我们也和你同去. ”他们就出去, 上了船; 那一夜并没有打着甚么.

21:4 Now when it was already early morning, Jesus stood on the beach. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
天将亮的时候, 耶稣站在岸上, 门徒却不知道是耶稣.

21:5 So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish to eat, do you? They answered him, “No.”
耶稣就对他们说: “小子! 你们有吃的没有? ”他们回答说: “没有. ”

21:6 And he said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw it, and were no longer able to haul it in from the large number of the fish.
耶稣说: “你们把网撒在船的右边, 就必得着. ”他们便撒下网去, 竟拉不上来了, 因为鱼甚多.

21:7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” So Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, tied around himself his outer garment (for he was naked) and threw himself into the sea.
耶稣所爱的那门徒对彼得说: “是主! ”那时西门•彼得赤著身子, 一听见是主, 就束上一件外衣, 跳在海里.

21:8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net of fish, because they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away.
其余的门徒离岸不远, 约有二百肘(古时以肘为尺, 一肘约有今时尺半), 就在小船上把那网鱼拉过来.

21:9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire laid there, and a fish lying on it, and bread.
他们上了岸, 就看见那里有炭火, 上面有鱼, 又有饼.

21:10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just now caught.”
耶稣对他们说: “把刚才打的鱼拿几条来. ”

21:11 So Simon Peter got into the boat and hauled the net to the land, full of large fish—one hundred fifty-three—and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
西门•彼得就去(或译: 上船), 把网拉到岸上. 那网满了大鱼, 共一百五十三条; 鱼虽这样多, 网却没有破.

21:12 Jesus said to them, “Come, eat breakfast!” But none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew that it was the Lord.
耶稣说: “你们来吃早饭. ”门徒中没有一个敢问他: “你是谁? ”因为知道是主.

21:13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
耶稣就来拿饼和鱼给他们.

21:14 This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he had been raised from the dead.
耶稣从死里复活以后, 向门徒显现, 这是第三次.

21:15 Now when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs!”
他们吃完了早饭, 耶稣对西门•彼得说: “约翰(在马太十六章十七节称约拿)的儿子西门, 你爱我比这些更深吗? ”彼得说: “主啊, 是的, 你知道我爱你. ”耶稣对他说: “你喂养我的小羊. ”

21:16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Shepherd my sheep!”
耶稣第二次又对他说: “约翰的儿子西门, 你爱我吗? ”彼得说: “主啊, 是的, 你知道我爱你. ”耶稣说: “你牧养我的羊. ”

21:17 He said to him a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed because he said to him a third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything! You know that I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep!
第三次对他说: “约翰的儿子西门, 你爱我吗? ”彼得因为耶稣第三次对他说“你爱我吗”, 就忧愁, 对耶稣说: “主啊, 你是无所不知的; 你知道我爱你. ”耶稣说: “你喂养我的羊.

21:18 Truly, truly I say to you, when you were young, you tied your clothes around yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will tie you up and carry you where you do not want to go.
我实实在在地告诉你, 你年少的时候, 自己束上带子, 随意往来; 但年老的时候, 你要伸出手来, 别人要把你束上, 带你到不愿意去的地方. ”

21:19 (Now he said this to indicate by what kind of death he would glorify God.) And after he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me!”
(耶稣说这话是指著彼得要怎样死, 荣耀神. )说了这话, 就对他说: “你跟从我吧! ”

21:20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them (who also leaned back on his chest at the dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one betraying you?”)
彼得转过来, 看见耶稣所爱的那门徒跟着, (就是在晚饭的时候, 靠著耶稣胸膛说: “主啊, 卖你的是谁? ”的那门徒. )

21:21 So when he saw this one, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, but what about this one?”
彼得看见他, 就问耶稣说: “主啊, 这人将来如何? ”

21:22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
耶稣对他说: “我若要他等到我来的时候, 与你何干? 你跟从我吧! ”

21:23 So this saying went out to the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
于是这话传在弟兄中间, 说那门徒不死. 其实, 耶稣不是说他不死, 乃是说: “我若要他等到我来的时候, 与你何干? ”

21:24 This is the disciple who is testifying about these things, and who has written down these things. And we know that his testimony is true.
为这些事作见证, 并且记载这些事的就是这门徒; 我们也知道他的见证是真的.

21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which—if they were written down one after the other—I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
耶稣所行的事还有许多, 若是一一地都写出来, 我想, 所写的书就是世界也容不下了.

Acts (使徒行传)

Acts - Chapter 1

1:1 I produced the former account, O Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
提阿非罗啊, 我已经作了前书, 论到耶稣开头一切所行所教训的,

1:2 until the day he was taken up, after he had given orders through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen,
直到他藉著圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒, 以后被接上升的日子为止.

1:3 to whom he also presented himself alive after he suffered, with many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.
他受害之后, 用许多的凭据将自己活活地显给使徒看, 四十天之久向他们显现, 讲说神国的事.

1:4 And while he was with them, he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what was promised by the Father, which you heard about from me.
耶稣和他们聚集的时候, 嘱咐他们说: “不要离开耶路撒冷, 要等候父所应许的, 就是你们听见我说过的.

1:5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
约翰是用水施洗, 但不多几日, 你们要受圣灵的洗. ”

1:6 So when they had come together, they began asking him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
他们聚集的时候, 问耶稣说: “主啊, 你复兴以色列国就在这时候吗? ”

1:7 But he said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority.
耶稣对他们说: “父凭著自己的权柄所定的时候,日期, 不是你们可以知道的.

1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth.”
但圣灵降临在你们身上, 你们就必得着能力, 并要在耶路撒冷,犹太全地, 和撒马利亚, 直到地极, 作我的见证. ”

1:9 And after he had said these things, while they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their sight.
说了这话, 他们正看的时候, 他就被取上升, 有一朵云彩把他接去, 便看不见他了.

1:10 And as they were staring into the sky while he was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood by them
当他往上去, 他们定睛望天的时候, 忽然有两个人身穿白衣, 站在旁边, 说:

1:11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand there looking into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!”
“加利利人哪, 你们为甚么站着望天呢? 这离开你们被接升天的耶稣, 你们见他怎样往天上去, 他还要怎样来. ”

1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain that is called Olive Grove which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
有一座山, 名叫橄榄山, 离耶路撒冷不远, 约有安息日可走的路程. 当下, 门徒从那里回耶路撒冷去,

1:13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying—Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas son of James.
进了城, 就上了所住的一间楼房; 在那里有彼得,约翰,雅各,安得烈,腓力,多马,巴多罗买,马太,亚勒腓的儿子雅各,奋锐党的西门, 和雅各的儿子(或译: 兄弟)犹大.

1:14 All these were busily engaged with one mind in prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.
这些人同著几个妇人和耶稣的母亲马利亚, 并耶稣的弟兄, 都同心合意地恒切祷告.

1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and it was a crowd of persons of about one hundred twenty at the same place) and said,
那时, 有许多人聚会, 约有一百二十名, 彼得就在弟兄中间站起来, 说:

1:16 “Men and brothers, it was necessary that the scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit proclaimed beforehand through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus,
“弟兄们! 圣灵藉大卫的口, 在圣经上预言领人捉拿耶稣的犹大, 这话是必须应验的.

1:17 because he was counted among us and received a share in this ministry.”
他本来列在我们数中, 并且在使徒的职任上得了一分.

1:18 (Now this man acquired a field for the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines spilled out.
这人用他作恶的工价买了一块田, 以后身子仆倒, 肚腹崩裂, 肠子都流出来.

1:19 And it became known to all who live in Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language “Akeldama,” that is, “Field of Blood.”)
住在耶路撒冷的众人都知道这事, 所以按着他们那里的话给那块田起名叫亚革大马, 就是“血田”的意思.

1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his residence become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,’ and, ‘Let another person take his position.’
因为诗篇上写着, 说: 愿他的住处变为荒场, 无人在内居住; 又说: 愿别人得他的职分.

1:21 Therefore it is necessary for one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
所以, 主耶稣在我们中间始终出入的时候,

1:22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us—one of these men must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.”
就是从约翰施洗起, 直到主离开我们被接上升的日子为止, 必须从那常与我们作伴的人中立一位与我们同作耶稣复活的见证. ”

1:23 And they proposed two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was called Justus) and Matthias.
于是选举两个人, 就是那叫做巴撒巴, 又称呼犹士都的约瑟, 和马提亚.

1:24 And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show clearly which one of these two you have chosen
众人就祷告说: “主啊, 你知道万人的心, 求你从这两个人中, 指明你所拣选的是谁, 叫他得这使徒的位分. 这位分犹大已经丢弃, 往自己的地方去了. ”

1:25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to depart to his own place.”
a

1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was added to serve with the eleven apostles.
于是众人为他们摇签, 摇出马提亚来; 他就和十一个使徒同列.

Acts - Chapter 2

2:1 And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in the same place.
五旬节到了, 门徒都聚集在一处.

2:2 And suddenly a sound like a violent rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
忽然, 从天上有响声下来, 好像一阵大风吹过, 充满了他们所坐的屋子,

2:3 And divided tongues like fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.
又有舌头如火焰显现出来, 分开落在他们各人头上.

2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them ability to speak out.
他们就都被圣灵充满, 按著圣灵所赐的口才说起别国的话来.

2:5 Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
那时, 有虔诚的犹太人从天下各国来, 住在耶路撒冷.

2:6 And when this sound occurred, the crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one was hearing them speaking in his own language.
这声音一响, 众人都来聚集, 各人听见门徒用众人的乡谈说话, 就甚纳闷;

2:7 And they were astounded and astonished, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
都惊讶希奇说: “看哪, 这说话的不都是加利利人吗?

2:8 And how do we hear, each one of us, in our own native language?
我们各人怎么听见他们说我们生来所用的乡谈呢?

2:9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and those residing in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
我们帕提亚人,米底亚人,以拦人, 和住在美索不达米亚,犹太,加帕多家,本都,亚细亚,

2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya toward Cyrene, and the Romans who were in town,
弗吕家,旁非利亚,埃及的人, 并靠近古利奈的利比亚一带地方的人, 从罗马来的客旅中, 或是犹太人, 或是进犹太教的人,

2:11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages the great deeds of God!”
克里特和阿拉伯人, 都听见他们用我们的乡谈, 讲说神的大作为. ”

2:12 And all were amazed and greatly perplexed, saying to one another, “What can this mean?”
众人就都惊讶猜疑, 彼此说: “这是甚么意思呢? ”

2:13 But others jeered and said, “They are full of sweet new wine!”
还有人讥诮说: “他们无非是新酒灌满了. ”

2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them, “Judean men, and all those who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and pay attention to my words!
彼得和十一个使徒站起, 高声说: “犹太人和一切住在耶路撒冷的人哪, 这件事你们当知道, 也当侧耳听我的话.

2:15 For these men are not drunk, as you assume, because it is the third hour of the day.
你们想这些人是醉了; 其实不是醉了, 因为时候刚到巳初.

2:16 But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
这正是先知约珥所说的:

2:17 ‘And it will be in the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
神说: 在末后的日子, 我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的. 你们的儿女要说预言; 你们的少年人要见异象; 老年人要做异梦.

2:18 And even on my male slaves and on my female slaves I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
在那些日子, 我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女, 他们就要说预言.

2:19 And I will cause wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
在天上, 我要显出奇事; 在地下, 我要显出神蹟; 有血, 有火, 有烟雾.

2:20 The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
日头要变为黑暗, 月亮要变为血; 这都在主大而明显的日子未到以前.

2:21 And it will be that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’
到那时候, 凡求告主名的, 就必得救.

2:22 “Israelite men, listen to these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—
“以色列人哪, 请听我的话: 神藉著拿撒勒人耶稣在你们中间施行异能,奇事,神蹟, 将他证明出来, 这是你们自己知道的.

2:23 this man, delivered up by the determined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed by nailing to a cross through the hand of lawless men.
他既按著神的定旨先见被交与人, 你们就藉著无法之人的手, 把他钉在十字架上, 杀了.

2:24 God raised him up, having brought to an end the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
神却将死的痛苦解释了, 叫他复活, 因为他原不能被死拘禁.

2:25 For David says with reference to him, ‘I saw the Lord before me continually, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.
大卫指著他说: “我看见主常在我眼前; 他在我右边, 叫我不至于摇动.

2:26 For this reason my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my flesh will live in hope,
所以, 我心里欢喜, 我的灵(原文是舌)快乐; 并且我的肉身要安居在指望中.

2:27 because you will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will you permit your Holy One to experience decay.
因你必不将我的灵魂撇在阴间, 也不叫你的圣者见朽坏.

2:28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with gladness with your presence.’
你已将生命的道路指示我, 必叫我因见你的面(或译: 叫我在你面前)得着满足的快乐.

2:29 “Men and brothers, it is possible to speak with confidence to you about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us until this day.
“弟兄们! 先祖大卫的事, 我可以明明地对你们说: 他死了, 也葬埋了, 并且他的坟墓直到今日还在我们这里.

2:30 Therefore, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,
大卫既是先知, 又晓得神曾向他起誓, 要从他的后裔中立一位坐在他的宝座上,

2:31 by having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he abandoned in Hades nor did his flesh experience decay.
就预先看明这事, 讲论基督复活说: 他的灵魂不撇在阴间; 他的肉身也不见朽坏.

2:32 This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
这耶稣, 神已经叫他复活了, 我们都为这事作见证.

2:33 Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out this that you see and hear.
他既被神的右手高举(或译: 他既高举在神的右边), 又从父受了所应许的圣灵, 就把你们所看见所听见的, 浇灌下来.

2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
大卫并没有升到天上, 但自己说: 主对我主说: 你坐在我的右边,

2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳.

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt, that God has made him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified!”
“故此, 以色列全家当确实地知道, 你们钉在十字架上的这位耶稣, 神已经立他为主, 为基督了. ”

2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “What should we do, men and brothers?”
众人听见这话, 觉得扎心, 就对彼得和其余的使徒说: “弟兄们, 我们当怎样行? ”

2:38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
彼得说: “你们各人要悔改, 奉耶稣基督的名受洗, 叫你们的罪得赦, 就必领受所赐的圣灵;

2:39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all those who are far away, as many as the Lord our God calls to himself.”
因为这应许是给你们和你们的儿女, 并一切在远方的人, 就是主─我们神所召来的. ”

2:40 And with many other words he solemnly urged and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation!”
彼得还用许多话作见证, 劝勉他们说: “你们当救自己脱离这弯曲的世代. ”

2:41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.
于是领受他话的人就受了洗. 那一天, 门徒约添了三千人,

2:42 And they were devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayers.
都恒心遵守使徒的教训, 彼此交接, 擘饼, 祈祷.

2:43 And fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were being performed by the apostles.
众人都惧怕; 使徒又行了许多奇事神蹟.

2:44 And all who believed were in the same place, and had everything in common.
信的人都在一处, 凡物公用,

2:45 And they began selling their possessions and property, and distributing these things to all, to the degree that anyone had need.
并且卖了田产,家业, 照各人所需用的分给各人.

2:46 And every day, devoting themselves to meeting with one purpose in the temple courts and breaking bread from house to house, they were eating their food with joy and simplicity of heart,
他们天天同心合意恒切地在殿里, 且在家中擘饼, 存著欢喜,诚实的心用饭,

2:47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding every day to the total of those who were being saved.
赞美神, 得众民的喜爱. 主将得救的人天天加给他们.

Acts - Chapter 3

3:1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
申初祷告的时候, 彼得,约翰上圣殿去.

3:2 And a certain man was being carried who was lame from birth. He was placed every day at the gate of the temple called “Beautiful,” so that he could ask for charitable gifts from those who were going into the temple courts.
有一个人, 生来是瘸腿的, 天天被人抬来, 放在殿的一个门口(那门名叫美门), 要求进殿的人赒济.

3:3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple courts, he began asking to receive alms.
他看见彼得,约翰将要进殿, 就求他们赒济.

3:4 And Peter looked intently at him, together with John, and said, “Look at us!”
彼得,约翰定睛看他; 彼得说: “你看我们! ”

3:5 So he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.
那人就留意看他们, 指望得着甚么.

3:6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not possess, but what I have, this I give to you—in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!”
彼得说: “金银我都没有, 只把我所有的给你: 我奉拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名, 叫你起来行走! ”

3:7 And taking hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
于是拉着他的右手, 扶他起来; 他的脚和踝子骨立刻健壮了,

3:8 And leaping up, he stood and began walking around and entered into the temple courts with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
就跳起来, 站着, 又行走, 同他们进了殿, 走着, 跳着, 赞美神.

3:9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
百姓都看见他行走, 赞美神;

3:10 And they recognized him, that this one was the one who used to sit asking for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with awe and astonishment at what had happened to him.
认得他是那素常坐在殿的美门口求赒济的, 就因他所遇着的事满心希奇,惊讶.

3:11 And while he was holding fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s, utterly astonished.
那人正在称为所罗门的廊下, 拉着彼得,约翰; 众百姓一齐跑到他们那里, 很觉希奇.

3:12 And when he saw it, Peter replied to the people, “Men and Israelites, why are you astonished at this? Or why are you staring at us, as if by our own power or godliness we have made him walk?
彼得看见, 就对百姓说: “以色列人哪, 为甚么把这事当作希奇呢? 为甚么定睛看我们, 以为我们凭自己的能力和虔诚使这人行走呢?

3:13 The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in the presence of Pilate, after he had decided to release him.
亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各的神, 就是我们列祖的神, 已经荣耀了他的仆人(或译: 儿子)耶稣; 你们却把他交付彼拉多. 彼拉多定意要释放他, 你们竟在彼拉多面前弃绝了他.

3:14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and demanded that a man—a murderer—be granted to you.
你们弃绝了那圣洁公义者, 反求着释放一个凶手给你们.

3:15 And you killed the originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses!
你们杀了那生命的主, 神却叫他从死里复活了; 我们都是为这事作见证.

3:16 And on the basis of faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know, and the faith that is through him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.
我们因信他的名, 他的名便叫你们所看见所认识的这人健壮了; 正是他所赐的信心, 叫这人在你们众人面前全然好了.

3:17 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also.
弟兄们, 我晓得你们做这事是出于不知, 你们的官长也是如此.

3:18 But the things which God foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he has fulfilled in this way.
但神曾藉众先知的口, 预言基督将要受害, 就这样应验了.

3:19 Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out,
所以, 你们当悔改归正, 使你们的罪得以涂抹,

3:20 so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he may send the Christ appointed for you—Jesus,
这样, 那安舒的日子就必从主面前来到; 主也必差遣所预定给你们的基督(耶稣)降临.

3:21 whom heaven must receive until the times of the restoration of all things, about which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from earliest times.
天必留他, 等到万物复兴的时候, 就是神从创世以来,藉著圣先知的口所说的.

3:22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You will listen to him in everything that he says to you.
摩西曾说: ‘主─神要从你们弟兄中间给你们兴起一位先知像我, 凡他向你们所说的, 你们都要听从.

3:23 And it will be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet will be destroyed utterly from the people.’
凡不听从那先知的, 必要从民中全然灭绝. ’

3:24 And indeed, all the prophets from Samuel and all those who followed him have spoken about and proclaimed these days.
从撒母耳以来的众先知, 凡说预言的, 也都说到这些日子.

3:25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed.’
你们是先知的子孙, 也承受神与你们祖宗所立的约, 就是对亚伯拉罕说: ‘地上万族都要因你的后裔得福. ’

3:26 God, after he had raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning each of you back from your wickedness!”
神既兴起他的仆人(或译: 儿子), 就先差他到你们这里来, 赐福给你们, 叫你们各人回转, 离开罪恶. ”

Acts - Chapter 4

4:1 And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,
使徒对百姓说话的时候, 祭司们和守殿官, 并撒都该人忽然来了.

4:2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
因他们教训百姓, 本着耶稣, 传说死人复活, 就很烦恼,

4:3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
于是下手拿住他们; 因为天已经晚了, 就把他们押到第二天.

4:4 But many of those who listened to the message believed, and the number of the men was approximately five thousand.
但听道之人有许多信的, 男丁数目约到五千.

4:5 And it happened that on the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes came together in Jerusalem,
第二天, 官府,长老, 和文士在耶路撒冷聚会,

4:6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all those who were from the high priest’s family.
又有大祭司亚那和该亚法,约翰,亚历山大, 并大祭司的亲族都在那里,

4:7 And they made them stand in their midst and began to ask, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
叫使徒站在当中, 就问他们说: “你们用甚么能力, 奉谁的名做这事呢? ”

4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,
那时彼得被圣灵充满, 对他们说:

4:9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a sick man—by what means this man was healed—
“治民的官府和长老啊, 倘若今日因为在残疾人身上所行的善事查问我们他是怎么得了痊愈,

4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man stands before you healthy!
你们众人和以色列百姓都当知道, 站在你们面前的这人得痊愈是因你们所钉十字架,神叫他从死里复活的拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名.

4:11 This one is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, that has become the cornerstone.
他是你们匠人所弃的石头, 已成了房角的头块石头.

4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved.”
除他以外, 别无拯救; 因为在天下人间, 没有赐下别的名, 我们可以靠着得救. ”

4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were astonished, and recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
他们见彼得,约翰的胆量, 又看出他们原是没有学问的小民, 就希奇, 认明他们是跟过耶稣的;

4:14 And because they saw the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in return.
又看见那治好了的人和他们一同站着, 就无话可驳.

4:15 But after they had ordered them to go outside the Sanhedrin, they began to confer with one another,
于是吩咐他们从公会出去, 就彼此商议说:

4:16 saying, “What should we do with these men? For that a remarkable sign has taken place through them is evident to all those who live in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it!
“我们当怎样办这两个人呢? 因为他们诚然行了一件明显的神蹟, 凡住耶路撒冷的人都知道, 我们也不能说没有.

4:17 But in order that it may not spread much further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more in this name to anyone at all.”
惟恐这事越发传扬在民间, 我们必须恐吓他们, 叫他们不再奉这名对人讲论. ”

4:18 And they called them back and commanded them not to speak or to teach at all in the name of Jesus.
于是叫了他们来, 禁止他们总不可奉耶稣的名讲论教训人.

4:19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God, you decide!
彼得,约翰说: “听从你们, 不听从神, 这在神面前合理不合理, 你们自己酌量吧!

4:20 For we are not able to refrain from speaking about the things that we have seen and heard.”
我们所看见所听见的, 不能不说. ”

4:21 So after threatening them further, they released them, finding no way to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising God for what had happened.
官长为百姓的缘故, 想不出法子刑罚他们, 又恐吓一番, 把他们释放了. 这是因众人为所行的奇事都归荣耀与神.

4:22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
原来藉著神蹟医好的那人有四十多岁了.

4:23 And when they were released, they went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
二人既被释放, 就到会友那里去, 把祭司长和长老所说的话都告诉他们.

4:24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices with one mind to God and said, “Master, you are the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them,
他们听见了, 就同心合意地高声向神说: “主啊! 你是造天,地,海, 和其中万物的,

4:25 the one who said by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples conspire in vain?
你曾藉著圣灵, 托你仆人─我们祖宗大卫的口, 说: 外邦为甚么争闹? 万民为甚么谋算虚妄的事?

4:26 The kings of the earth stood opposed, and the rulers assembled together at the same place, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
世上的君王一齐起来, 臣宰也聚集, 要敌挡主, 并主的受膏者(或译: 基督).

4:27 For in truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, assembled together in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed,
希律和本丢•彼拉多, 外邦人和以色列民, 果然在这城里聚集, 要攻打你所膏的圣仆(仆: 或译子)耶稣,

4:28 to do all that your hand and plan had predestined to take place.
成就你手和你意旨所预定必有的事.

4:29 And now, Lord, concern yourself with their threats and grant your slaves to speak your message with all boldness,
他们恐吓我们, 现在求主鉴察, 一面叫你仆人大放胆量讲你的道, 一面伸出你的手来医治疾病, 并且使神蹟奇事因着你圣仆(仆: 或译子)耶稣的名行出来. ”

4:30 as you extend your hand to heal and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
a

4:31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
祷告完了, 聚会的地方震动, 他们就都被圣灵充满, 放胆讲论神的道.

4:32 Now the group of those who believed were one heart and soul, and no one said anything of what belonged to him was his own, but all things were theirs in common.
那许多信的人都是一心一意的, 没有一人说他的东西有一样是自己的, 都是大家公用.

4:33 And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.
使徒大有能力, 见证主耶稣复活; 众人也都蒙大恩.

4:34 For there was not even anyone needy among them, because all those who were owners of plots of land or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds of the things that were sold
内中也没有一个缺乏的; 因为人人将田产房屋都卖了,

4:35 and placing them at the feet of the apostles. And it was being distributed to each as anyone had need.
把所卖的价银拿来, 放在使徒脚前, 照各人所需用的, 分给各人.

4:36 So Joseph, who was called Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated “son of encouragement”), a Levite of Cyprus by nationality,
有一个利未人, 生在塞浦路斯, 名叫约瑟, 使徒称他为巴拿巴(巴拿巴翻出来就是劝慰子).

4:37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and placed it at the feet of the apostles.
他有田地, 也卖了, 把价银拿来, 放在使徒脚前.

Acts - Chapter 5

5:1 Now a certain man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
有一个人, 名叫亚拿尼亚, 同他的妻子撒非喇卖了田产,

5:2 and he kept back for himself some of the proceeds, and his wife was aware of it. And he brought a certain part and placed it at the feet of the apostles.
把价银私自留下几分, 他的妻子也知道, 其余的几分拿来放在使徒脚前.

5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, for what reason has Satan filled your heart, that you lied to the Holy Spirit and kept back for yourself some of the proceeds of the piece of land?
彼得说: “亚拿尼亚! 为甚么撒但充满了你的心, 叫你欺哄圣灵, 把田地的价银私自留下几分呢?

5:4 When it remained to you, did it not remain yours? And when it was sold, was it at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God!”
田地还没有卖, 不是你自己的吗? 既卖了, 价银不是你作主吗? 你怎么心里起这意念呢? 你不是欺哄人, 是欺哄神了. ”

5:5 And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came on all those who heard about it.
亚拿尼亚听见这话, 就仆倒, 断了气; 听见的人都甚惧怕.

5:6 So the young men stood up, wrapped him up, and carried him out and buried him.
有些少年人起来, 把他包裹, 抬出去埋葬了.

5:7 And it happened that there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
约过了三小时, 他的妻子进来, 还不知道这事.

5:8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you both were paid this much for the piece of land.” And she said, “Yes, this much.”
彼得对她说: “你告诉我, 你们卖田地的价银就是这些吗? ”她说: “就是这些. ”

5:9 So Peter said to her, “How is it that it was agreed by you two to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”
彼得说: “你们为甚么同心试探主的灵呢? 埋葬你丈夫之人的脚已到门口, 他们也要把你抬出去. ”

5:10 And immediately she fell down at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her with her husband.
妇人立刻仆倒在彼得脚前, 断了气. 那些少年人进来, 见她已经死了, 就抬出去, 埋在她丈夫旁边.

5:11 And great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard about these things.
全教会和听见这事的人都甚惧怕.

5:12 Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people through the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon’s Portico.
主藉使徒的手在民间行了许多神蹟奇事; 他们(或译: 信的人)都同心合意地在所罗门的廊下.

5:13 And none of the rest dared to join them, but the people spoke highly of them.
其余的人没有一个敢贴近他们, 百姓却尊重他们.

5:14 And even more believers in the Lord were being added, large numbers of both men and women,
信而归主的人越发增添, 连男带女很多.

5:15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and put them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow would fall on some of them.
甚至有人将病人抬到街上, 放在床上或褥子上, 指望彼得过来的时候, 或者得他的影儿照在甚么人身上.

5:16 And the people of the towns around Jerusalem also came together, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all being healed.
还有许多人带着病人和被污鬼缠磨的, 从耶路撒冷四围的城邑来, 全都得了医治.

5:17 Now the high priest rose up and all those who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy.
大祭司和他的一切同人, 就是撒都该教门的人, 都起来, 满心忌恨,

5:18 And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
就下手拿住使徒, 收在外监.

5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison and led them out and said,
但主的使者夜间开了监门, 领他们出来,

5:20 “Go and stand in the temple courts and proclaim to the people all the words of this life.”
说: “你们去站在殿里, 把这生命的道都讲给百姓听. ”

5:21 And when they heard this, they entered at daybreak into the temple courts and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin—even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel—and sent to the prison to have them brought.
使徒听了这话, 天将亮的时候就进殿里去教训人. 大祭司和他的同人来了, 叫齐公会的人和以色列族的众长老, 就差人到监里去, 要把使徒提出来.

5:22 But the officers who came did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
但差役到了, 不见他们在监里, 就回来禀报说:

5:23 saying, “We found the prison locked with all security and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
“我们看见监牢关得极妥当, 看守的人也站在门外; 及至开了门, 里面一个人都不见. ”

5:24 Now when both the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed concerning them, as to what this might be.
守殿官和祭司长听见这话, 心里犯难, 不知这事将来如何.

5:25 But someone came and reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple courts and teaching the people!”
有一个人来禀报说: “你们收在监里的人, 现在站在殿里教训百姓. ”

5:26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them, not with force (for they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned by them).
于是守殿官和差役去带使徒来, 并没有用强暴, 因为怕百姓用石头打他们.

5:27 And when they had brought them, they made them stand in the Sanhedrin, and the high priest put a question to them,
带到了, 便叫使徒站在公会前; 大祭司问他们说:

5:28 saying, “We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! And you are intending to bring upon us the blood of this man!”
“我们不是严严地禁止你们, 不可奉这名教训人吗? 你们倒把你们的道理充满了耶路撒冷, 想要叫这人的血归到我们身上! ”

5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, “It is necessary to obey God rather than men!
彼得和众使徒回答说: “顺从神, 不顺从人, 是应当的.

5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
你们挂在木头上杀害的耶稣, 我们祖宗的神已经叫他复活.

5:31 This one God has exalted to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
神且用右手将他高举(或译: 他就是神高举在自己的右边), 叫他作君王, 作救主, 将悔改的心和赦罪的恩赐给以色列人.

5:32 And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”
我们为这事作见证; 神赐给顺从之人的圣灵也为这事作见证. ”

5:33 Now when they heard this, they were infuriated, and were wanting to execute them.
公会的人听见就极其恼怒, 想要杀他们.

5:34 But a certain man stood up in the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people, and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.
但有一个法利赛人, 名叫迦玛列, 是众百姓所敬重的教法师, 在公会中站起来, 吩咐人把使徒暂且带到外面去,

5:35 And he said to them, “Men and Israelites, take care for yourselves what you are about to do to these men!
就对众人说: “以色列人哪, 论到这些人, 你们应当小心怎样办理.

5:36 For before these days, Theudas rose up saying he was somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was executed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.
从前杜达起来, 自夸为大; 附从他的人约有四百, 他被杀后, 附从他的全都散了, 归于无有.

5:37 After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and caused people to follow him in revolt. And that one perished, and all who followed him were scattered.
此后, 报名上册的时候, 又有加利利的犹大起来, 引诱些百姓跟从他; 他也灭亡, 附从他的人也都四散了.

5:38 And now I tell you, keep away from these men, and leave them alone, because if this plan or this matter is from people, it will be overthrown.
现在, 我劝你们不要管这些人, 任凭他们吧! 他们所谋的,所行的, 若是出于人, 必要败坏;

5:39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them, lest you even be found fighting against God.” So they were persuaded by him.
若是出于神, 你们就不能败坏他们, 恐怕你们倒是攻击神了. ”

5:40 And they summoned the apostles, beat them, commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
公会的人听从了他, 便叫使徒来, 把他们打了, 又吩咐他们不可奉耶稣的名讲道, 就把他们释放了.

5:41 So they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin rejoicing, because they had been considered worthy to be dishonored for the sake of the name.
他们离开公会, 心里欢喜, 因被算是配为这名受辱.

5:42 Every day, both in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that the Christ was Jesus.
他们就每日在殿里,在家里不住地教训人, 传耶稣是基督.

Acts - Chapter 6

6:1 Now in these days, as the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose by the Greek-speaking Jews against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
那时, 门徒增多, 有说希腊话的犹太人向希伯来人发怨言, 因为在天天的供给上忽略了他们的寡妇.

6:2 So the twelve summoned the community of disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we neglect the word of God to serve tables.
十二使徒叫众门徒来, 对他们说: “我们撇下神的道去管理饭食, 原是不合宜的.

6:3 So, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we will put in charge of this need.
所以弟兄们, 当从你们中间选出七个有好名声,被圣灵充满,智慧充足的人, 我们就派他们管理这事.

6:4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
但我们要专心以祈祷,传道为事. ”

6:5 And the statement pleased the whole group, and they chose Stephen (a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit), and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus (a convert from Antioch),
大众都喜悦这话, 就拣选了司提反, 乃是大有信心,圣灵充满的人, 又拣选腓利,伯罗哥罗,尼迦挪,提门,巴米拿, 并进犹太教的安提阿人尼哥拉,

6:6 whom they stood before the apostles. And they prayed and placed their hands on them.
叫他们站在使徒面前. 使徒祷告了, 就按手在他们头上.

6:7 And the word of God kept spreading, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem was increasing greatly, and a large number of priests began obeying the faith.
神的道兴旺起来; 在耶路撒冷门徒数目加增的甚多, 也有许多祭司信从了这道.

6:8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.
司提反满得恩惠,能力, 在民间行了大奇事和神蹟.

6:9 But some of those from the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and disputed with Stephen.
当时有称利百地拿会堂的几个人, 并有古利奈,亚历山大,基利家,亚细亚各处会堂的几个人, 都起来和司提反辩论.

6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
司提反是以智慧和圣灵说话, 众人敌挡不住,

6:11 Then they secretly instigated men who said, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God!”
就买出人来说: “我们听见他说谤讟摩西和神的话. ”

6:12 And they incited the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came up and seized him and brought him to the Sanhedrin.
他们又耸动了百姓,长老, 并文士, 就忽然来捉拿他, 把他带到公会去,

6:13 And they put forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop speaking words against the holy place and the law!
设下假见证, 说: “这个人说话, 不住地糟践圣所和律法.

6:14 For we have heard him saying that this Nazarene Jesus will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
我们曾听见他说, 这拿撒勒人耶稣要毁坏此地, 也要改变摩西所交给我们的规条. ”

6:15 And as they looked intently at him, all those who were sitting in the Sanhedrin saw his face was like the face of an angel.
在公会里坐着的人都定睛看他, 见他的面貌, 好像天使的面貌.

Acts - Chapter 7

7:1 And the high priest said, “Is it so concerning these things?”
大祭司就说: “这些事果然有吗? ”

7:2 So he said, “Men—brothers and fathers—listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,
司提反说: “诸位父兄请听! 当日我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕在美索不达米亚还未住哈兰的时候, 荣耀的神向他显现,

7:3 and said to him, ‘Go out from your land and from your relatives and come to the land that I will show you.’
对他说: ‘你要离开本地和亲族, 往我所要指示你的地方去. ’

7:4 Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he caused him to move to this land in which you now live.
他就离开迦勒底人之地, 住在哈兰. 他父亲死了以后, 神使他从那里搬到你们现在所住之地.

7:5 And he did not give him an inheritance in it—not even a footstep—and he promised to give it to him for his possession, and to his descendants after him, although he did not have a child.
在这地方, 神并没有给他产业, 连立足之地也没有给他; 但应许要将这地赐给他和他的后裔为业; 那时他还没有儿子.

7:6 But God spoke like this: ‘His descendants will be foreigners in a foreign land, and they will enslave them and mistreat them four hundred years,
神说: ‘他的后裔必寄居外邦, 那里的人要叫他们作奴仆, 苦待他们四百年. ’

7:7 and the nation that they will serve as slaves, I will judge,’ God said, ‘and after these things they will come out and will worship me in this place.’
神又说: ‘使他们作奴仆的那国, 我要惩罚. 以后他们要出来, 在这地方事奉我. ’

7:8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac did so with Jacob, and Jacob did so with the twelve patriarchs.
神又赐他割礼的约. 于是亚伯拉罕生了以撒, 第八日给他行了割礼. 以撒生雅各; 雅各生十二位先祖.

7:9 And the patriarchs, because they were jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. And God was with him,
“先祖嫉妒约瑟, 把他卖到埃及去; 神却与他同在,

7:10 and rescued him from all his afflictions and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
救他脱离一切苦难, 又使他在埃及王法老面前得恩典, 有智慧. 法老就派他作埃及国的宰相兼管全家.

7:11 And a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan and great affliction, and our fathers could not find food.
后来埃及和迦南全地遭遇饥荒, 大受艰难, 我们的祖宗就绝了粮.

7:12 So when Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
雅各听见在埃及有粮, 就打发我们的祖宗初次往那里去.

7:13 And on the second visit Joseph was made known to his brothers, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
第二次约瑟与弟兄们相认, 他的亲族也被法老知道了.

7:14 So Joseph sent and summoned his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five persons in all.
约瑟就打发弟兄请父亲雅各和全家七十五个人都来.

7:15 And Jacob went down to Egypt and died, he and our fathers.
于是雅各下了埃及, 后来他和我们的祖宗都死在那里;

7:16 And they were brought back to Shechem and buried in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
又被带到示剑, 葬于亚伯拉罕在示剑用银子从哈抹子孙买来的坟墓里.

7:17 “But as the time of the promise that God had made to Abraham was drawing near, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt
“及至神应许亚伯拉罕的日期将到, 以色列民在埃及兴盛众多,

7:18 until another king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph.
直到有不晓得约瑟的新王兴起.

7:19 This man deceitfully took advantage of our people and mistreated our ancestors, causing them to abandon their infants so that they would not be kept alive.
他用诡计待我们的宗族, 苦害我们的祖宗, 叫他们丢弃婴孩, 使婴孩不能存活.

7:20 At this time Moses was born, and he was beautiful to God. He was brought up for three months in his father’s house,
那时, 摩西生下来, 俊美非凡, 在他父亲家里抚养了三个月.

7:21 and when he was abandoned, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and brought him up as her own son.
他被丢弃的时候, 法老的女儿拾了去, 养为自己的儿子.

7:22 And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was powerful in his words and deeds.
摩西学了埃及人一切的学问, 说话行事都有才能.

7:23 “But when he was forty years old, it entered in his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
“他将到四十岁, 心中起意去看望他的弟兄以色列人;

7:24 And when he saw one of them being unjustly harmed, he defended him and avenged the one who had been oppressed by striking down the Egyptian.
到了那里, 见他们一个人受冤屈, 就护庇他, 为那受欺压的人报仇, 打死了那埃及人.

7:25 And he thought his brothers would understand that God was granting deliverance to them by his hand, but they did not understand.
他以为弟兄必明白神是藉他的手搭救他们; 他们却不明白.

7:26 And on the following day, he made an appearance to them while they were fighting and was attempting to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men and brothers, why are you doing wrong to one another?’
第二天, 遇见两个以色列人争斗, 就劝他们和睦, 说: ‘你们二位是弟兄, 为甚么彼此欺负呢? ’

7:27 But the one who was doing wrong to his neighbor pushed him aside, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us?
那欺负邻舍的把他推开, 说: ‘谁立你作我们的首领和审判官呢?

7:28 You do not want to do away with me the same way you did away with the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’
难道你要杀我, 像昨天杀那埃及人吗? ’

7:29 And at this statement, Moses fled and became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
摩西听见这话就逃走了, 寄居于米甸; 在那里生了两个儿子.

7:30 “And when forty years had been completed, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai in the flame of a burning bush.
“过了四十年, 在西奈山的旷野, 有一位天使从荆棘火焰中向摩西显现.

7:31 And when Moses saw it, he was astonished at the sight, and when he approached to look at it, the voice of the Lord came:
摩西见了那异象, 便觉希奇, 正进前观看的时候, 有主的声音说:

7:32 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob!’ So Moses began trembling and did not dare to look at it.
‘我是你列祖的神, 就是亚伯拉罕的神, 以撒的神, 雅各的神. ’摩西战战兢兢, 不敢观看.

7:33 And the Lord said to him, ‘Untie the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.
主对他说: ‘把你脚上的鞋脱下来, 因为你所站之地是圣地.

7:34 I have certainly seen the mistreatment of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
我的百姓在埃及所受的困苦, 我实在看见了, 他们悲叹的声音, 我也听见了. 我下来要救他们. 你来! 我要差你往埃及去. ’

7:35 This Moses whom they had repudiated, saying, ‘Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?’—this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer with the help of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
这摩西就是百姓弃绝说‘谁立你作我们的首领和审判官’的; 神却藉那在荆棘中显现之使者的手差派他作首领,作救赎的.

7:36 This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.
这人领百姓出来, 在埃及, 在红海, 在旷野, 四十年间行了奇事神蹟.

7:37 “This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
那曾对以色列人说‘神要从你们弟兄中间给你们兴起一位先知像我’的, 就是这位摩西.

7:38 This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and who with our fathers received living oracles to give to us,
这人曾在旷野会中和西奈山上, 与那对他说话的天使同在, 又与我们的祖宗同在, 并且领受活泼的圣言传给我们.

7:39 to whom our fathers were not willing to become obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
我们的祖宗不肯听从, 反弃绝他, 心里归向埃及,

7:40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go on before us! For this Moses, who led us out from the land of Egypt—we do not know what has happened to him!’
对亚伦说: ‘你且为我们造些神像, 在我们前面引路; 因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西, 我们不知道他遭了甚么事. ’

7:41 And they manufactured a calf in those days, and offered up a sacrifice to the idol, and began rejoicing in the works of their hands.
那时, 他们造了一个牛犊, 又拿祭物献给那像, 欢喜自己手中的工作.

7:42 But God turned away and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, just as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘You did not bring offerings and sacrifices to me for forty years in the wilderness, did you, house of Israel?
神就转脸不顾, 任凭他们事奉天上的日月星辰, 正如先知书上所写的说: 以色列家啊, 你们四十年间在旷野, 岂是将牺牲和祭物献给我吗?

7:43 And you took along the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, the images that you made, to worship them, and I will deport you beyond Babylon!’
你们抬着摩洛的帐幕和理番神的星, 就是你们所造为要敬拜的像. 因此, 我要把你们迁到巴比伦外去.

7:44 The tabernacle of the testimony belonged to our fathers in the wilderness, just as the one who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the design that he had seen,
“我们的祖宗在旷野, 有法柜的帐幕, 是神吩咐摩西叫他照所看见的样式做的.

7:45 and which, after receiving it in turn, our fathers brought in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David,
这帐幕, 我们的祖宗相继承受. 当神在他们面前赶出外邦人去的时候, 他们同约书亚把帐幕搬进承受为业之地, 直存到大卫的日子.

7:46 who found favor in the sight of God and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
大卫在神面前蒙恩, 祈求为雅各的神预备居所;

7:47 But Solomon built a house for him.
却是所罗门为神造成殿宇.

7:48 But the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands, just as the prophet says,
其实, 至高者并不住人手所造的, 就如先知所言:

7:49 ‘Heaven is my throne and earth is the footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?
主说: 天是我的座位, 地是我的脚凳; 你们要为我造何等的殿宇? 哪里是我安息的地方呢?

7:50 Did not my hand make all these things?’
这一切不都是我手所造的吗?

7:51 “You stiff-necked people and uncircumcised in hearts and in your ears! You constantly resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so also do you!
“你们这硬著颈项,心与耳未受割礼的人, 常时抗拒圣灵! 你们的祖宗怎样, 你们也怎样.

7:52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand about the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become,
哪一个先知不是你们祖宗逼迫呢? 他们也把预先传说那义者要来的人杀了; 如今你们又把那义者卖了, 杀了.

7:53 you who received the law by directions of angels and have not observed it!”
你们受了天使所传的律法, 竟不遵守. ”

7:54 Now when they heard these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.
众人听见这话就极其恼怒, 向司提反咬牙切齿.

7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
但司提反被圣灵充满, 定睛望天, 看见神的荣耀, 又看见耶稣站在神的右边,

7:56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
就说: “我看见天开了, 人子站在神的右边. ”

7:57 But crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears and rushed at him with one purpose.
众人大声喊叫, 摀著耳朵, 齐心拥上前去,

7:58 And after they had driven him out of the city, they began to stone him, and the witnesses laid aside their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.
把他推到城外, 用石头打他. 作见证的人把衣裳放在一个少年人名叫扫罗的脚前.

7:59 And they kept on stoning Stephen as he was calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
他们正用石头打的时候, 司提反呼吁主说: “求主耶稣接收我的灵魂! ”

7:60 And falling to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And after he said this, he fell asleep.
又跪下大声喊著说: “主啊, 不要将这罪归于他们! ”说了这话, 就睡了. 扫罗也喜悦他被害.

Acts - Chapter 8

8:1 And Saul was agreeing with his murder. Now there happened on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
从这日起, 耶路撒冷的教会大遭逼迫, 除了使徒以外, 门徒都分散在犹太和撒马利亚各处.

8:2 And devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him.
有虔诚的人把司提反埋葬了, 为他捶胸大哭.

8:3 But Saul was attempting to destroy the church. Entering house after house, he dragged off both men and women and delivered them to prison.
扫罗却残害教会, 进各人的家, 拉着男女下在监里.

8:4 Now those who had been scattered went about proclaiming the good news of the word.
那些分散的人往各处去传道.

8:5 And Philip came down to the city of Samaria and began proclaiming the Christ to them.
腓利下撒马利亚城去, 宣讲基督.

8:6 And the crowds with one mind were paying attention to what was being said by Philip, as they heard him and saw the signs that he was performing.
众人听见了, 又看见腓利所行的神蹟, 就同心合意地听从他的话.

8:7 For many of those who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them, crying out with a loud voice, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
因为有许多人被污鬼附着, 那些鬼大声呼叫, 从他们身上出来; 还有许多瘫痪的,瘸腿的, 都得了医治.

8:8 And there was great joy in that city.
在那城里, 就大有欢喜.

8:9 Now a certain man named Simon had been in the city practicing magic and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying he was someone great.
有一个人, 名叫西门, 向来在那城里行邪术, 妄自尊大, 使撒马利亚的百姓惊奇;

8:10 They were all paying attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called ‘Great.’ ”
无论大小都听从他, 说: “这人就是那称为神的大能者. ”

8:11 And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had astonished them with his magic.
他们听从他, 因他久用邪术, 使他们惊奇.

8:12 But when they believed Philip as he was proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were being baptized.
及至他们信了腓利所传神国的福音和耶稣基督的名, 连男带女就受了洗.

8:13 And Simon himself also believed, and after he was baptized he was keeping close company with Philip. And when he saw the signs and great miracles that were taking place, he was astonished.
西门自己也信了; 既受了洗, 就常与腓利在一处, 看见他所行的神蹟和大异能, 就甚惊奇.

8:14 Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
使徒在耶路撒冷听见撒马利亚人领受了神的道, 就打发彼得,约翰往他们那里去.

8:15 who went down and prayed for them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit.
两个人到了, 就为他们祷告, 要叫他们受圣灵.

8:16 (For he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
因为圣灵还没有降在他们一个人身上, 他们只奉主耶稣的名受了洗.

8:17 Then they placed their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.
于是使徒按手在他们头上, 他们就受了圣灵.

8:18 Now Simon, when he saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, offered them money,
西门看见使徒按手, 便有圣灵赐下, 就拿钱给使徒,

8:19 saying, “Give to me also this power, so that whomever I place my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit!”
说: “把这权柄也给我, 叫我手按著谁, 谁就可以受圣灵. ”

8:20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver be destroyed along with you, because you thought you could acquire the gift of God by means of money!
彼得说: “你的银子和你一同灭亡吧! 因你想神的恩赐是可以用钱买的.

8:21 You have no part or share in this matter, because your heart is not right before God.
你在这道上无分无关; 因为在神面前, 你的心不正.

8:22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and ask the Lord if perhaps the intent of your heart may be forgiven you!”
你当懊悔你这罪恶, 祈求主, 或者你心里的意念可得赦免.

8:23 For I see you are in a state of bitter envy and bound by unrighteousness.”
我看出你正在苦胆之中, 被罪恶捆绑. ”

8:24 But Simon answered and said, “You pray to the Lord for me so that nothing of what you have said will come upon me.”
西门说: “愿你们为我求主, 叫你们所说的, 没有一样临到我身上. ”

8:25 So when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they turned back toward Jerusalem, and were proclaiming the good news to many villages of the Samaritans.
使徒既证明主道, 而且传讲, 就回耶路撒冷去, 一路在撒马利亚好些村庄传扬福音.

8:26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Get up and go toward the south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.)
有主的一个使者对腓利说: “起来! 向南走, 往那从耶路撒冷下迦萨的路上去. ”那路是旷野.

8:27 And he got up and went, and behold, there was a man, an Ethiopian eunuch (a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury) who had come to worship in Jerusalem
腓利就起身去了, 不料, 有一个衣索匹亚(就是古实, 见以赛亚十八章一节)人, 是个有大权的太监, 在衣索匹亚女王甘大基的手下总管银库, 他上耶路撒冷礼拜去了.

8:28 and was returning and sitting in his chariot, and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah.
现在回来, 在车上坐着, 念先知以赛亚的书.

8:29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Approach and join this chariot.”
圣灵对腓利说: “你去! 贴近那车走. ”

8:30 So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading aloud Isaiah the prophet and said, “So then, do you understand what you are reading?”
腓利就跑到太监那里, 听见他念先知以赛亚的书, 便问他说: “你所念的, 你明白吗? ”

8:31 And he said, “So how could I, unless someone will guide me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
他说: “没有人指教我, 怎能明白呢? ”于是请腓利上车, 与他同坐.

8:32 Now the passage of scripture that he was reading aloud was this: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
他所念的那段经, 说: 他像羊被牵到宰杀之地, 又像羊羔在剪毛的人手下无声; 他也是这样不开口.

8:33 In his humiliation justice was taken from him. Who can describe his descendants? For his life was taken away from the earth.”
他卑微的时候, 人不按公义审判他(原文是他的审判被夺去); 谁能述说他的世代? 因为他的生命从地上夺去.

8:34 And the eunuch answered and said to Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this—about himself or about someone else?”
太监对腓利说: “请问, 先知说这话是指著谁? 是指著自己呢? 是指著别人呢? ”

8:35 So Philip opened his mouth and beginning from this scripture, proclaimed the good news to him about Jesus.
腓利就开口从这经上起, 对他传讲耶稣.

8:36 And as they were traveling down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?”
二人正往前走, 到了有水的地方, 太监说: “看哪, 这里有水, 我受洗有甚么妨碍呢? ”(有古卷加:

8:37
腓利说: “你若是一心相信, 就可以. ”他回答说: “我信耶稣基督是神的儿子. ”)

8:38 And he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water—Philip and the eunuch—and he baptized him.
于是吩咐车站住, 腓利和太监二人同下水里去, 腓利就给他施洗.

8:39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer, for he went on his way rejoicing.
从水里上来, 主的灵把腓利提了去, 太监也不再见他了, 就欢欢喜喜地走路.

8:40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
后来有人在亚锁都遇见腓利; 他走遍那地方, 在各城宣传福音, 直到凯撒利亚.

Acts - Chapter 9

9:1 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
扫罗仍然向主的门徒口吐威吓凶煞的话, 去见大祭司,

9:2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he could bring them tied up to Jerusalem.
求文书给大马士革的各会堂, 若是找著信奉这道的人, 无论男女, 都准他捆绑带到耶路撒冷.

9:3 Now as he proceeded, it happened that when he approached Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
扫罗行路, 将到大马士革, 忽然从天上发光, 四面照着他;

9:4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
他就仆倒在地, 听见有声音对他说: “扫罗! 扫罗! 你为甚么逼迫我? ”

9:5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting!
他说: “主啊! 你是谁? ”主说: “我就是你所逼迫的耶稣.

9:6 But get up and enter into the city, and it will be told to you what you must do.”
起来! 进城去, 你所当做的事, 必有人告诉你. ”

9:7 (Now the men who were traveling together with him stood speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)
同行的人站在那里, 说不出话来, 听见声音, 却看不见人.

9:8 So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open he could see nothing. And leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
扫罗从地上起来, 睁开眼睛, 竟不能看见甚么. 有人拉他的手, 领他进了大马士革;

9:9 And he was unable to see for three days, and he did not eat or drink.
三日不能看见, 也不吃也不喝.

9:10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Behold, here I am, Lord!”
当下, 在大马士革有一个门徒, 名叫亚拿尼亚. 主在异象中对他说: “亚拿尼亚. ”他说: “主, 我在这里. ”

9:11 And the Lord said to him, “Get up, go to the street called ‘Straight’ and in the house of Judas look for a man named Saul from Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
主对他说: “起来! 往直街去, 在犹大的家里, 访问一个大数人, 名叫扫罗. 他正祷告,

9:12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and placing hands on him so that he may regain his sight.”
又看见了一个人, 名叫亚拿尼亚, 进来按手在他身上, 叫他能看见. ”

9:13 But Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,
亚拿尼亚回答说: “主啊, 我听见许多人说: 这人怎样在耶路撒冷多多苦害你的圣徒,

9:14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to tie up all who call upon your name!”
并且他在这里有从祭司长得来的权柄捆绑一切求告你名的人. ”

9:15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel.
主对亚拿尼亚说: “你只管去! 他是我所拣选的器皿, 要在外邦人和君王, 并以色列人面前宣扬我的名.

9:16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”
我也要指示他, 为我的名必须受许多的苦难. ”

9:17 So Ananias departed and entered into the house, and placing his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
亚拿尼亚就去了, 进入那家, 把手按在扫罗身上, 说: “兄弟扫罗, 在你来的路上向你显现的主, 就是耶稣, 打发我来, 叫你能看见, 又被圣灵充满. ”

9:18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight and got up and was baptized,
扫罗的眼睛上, 好像有鳞立刻掉下来, 他就能看见. 于是起来受了洗;

9:19 and after taking food, he regained his strength. And he was with the disciples in Damascus several days.
吃过饭就健壮了. 扫罗和大马士革的门徒同住了些日子,

9:20 And immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues: “This one is the Son of God!”
就在各会堂里宣传耶稣, 说他是神的儿子.

9:21 And all who heard him were amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who was wreaking havoc in Jerusalem on those who call upon this name, and had come here for this reason, that he could bring them tied up to the chief priests?”
凡听见的人都惊奇, 说: “在耶路撒冷残害求告这名的, 不是这人吗? 并且他到这里来, 特要捆绑他们, 带到祭司长那里. ”

9:22 But Saul was increasing in strength even more, and was confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this one is the Christ.
但扫罗越发有能力, 驳倒住大马士革的犹太人, 证明耶稣是基督.

9:23 And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted to do away with him.
过了好些日子, 犹太人商议要杀扫罗,

9:24 But their plot became known to Saul, and they were also watching the gates both day and night so that they could do away with him.
但他们的计谋被扫罗知道了. 他们又昼夜在城门守候, 要杀他.

9:25 But his disciples took him at night and let him down through the wall by lowering him in a basket.
他的门徒就在夜间用筐子把他从城墙上缒下去.

9:26 And when he arrived in Jerusalem, he was attempting to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
扫罗到了耶路撒冷, 想与门徒结交, 他们却都怕他, 不信他是门徒.

9:27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
惟有巴拿巴接待他, 领去见使徒, 把他在路上怎么看见主, 主怎么向他说话, 他在大马士革怎么奉耶稣的名放胆传道, 都述说出来.

9:28 And he was going in and going out among them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
于是扫罗在耶路撒冷和门徒出入来往,

9:29 And he was speaking and debating with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they were trying to do away with him.
奉主的名放胆传道, 并与说希腊话的犹太人讲论辩驳; 他们却想法子要杀他.

9:30 And when the brothers found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
弟兄们知道了就送他下凯撒利亚, 打发他往大数去.

9:31 Then the church throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being strengthened. And living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it was increasing in numbers.
那时, 犹太,加利利,撒马利亚各处的教会都得平安, 被建立; 凡事敬畏主, 蒙圣灵的安慰, 人数就增多了.

9:32 Now it happened that as Peter was traveling through all the places, he also came down to the saints who lived in Lydda.
彼得周流四方的时候, 也到了居住吕大的圣徒那里;

9:33 And he found there a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed, who had been lying on a mat for eight years.
遇见一个人, 名叫以尼雅, 得了瘫痪, 在褥子上躺卧八年.

9:34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and make your bed yourself!” And immediately he got up.
彼得对他说: “以尼雅, 耶稣基督医好你了, 起来! 收拾你的褥子. ”他就立刻起来了.

9:35 And all those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him, who all indeed turned to the Lord.
凡住吕大和沙仑的人都看见了他, 就归服主.

9:36 Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple named Tabitha (which translated means “Dorcas”). She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing.
在约帕有一个女徒, 名叫大比大, 翻希腊话就是多加(就是羚羊的意思); 她广行善事, 多施赒济.

9:37 Now it happened that in those days after becoming sick, she died. And after washing her, they placed her in an upstairs room.
当时, 她患病而死, 有人把她洗了, 停在楼上.

9:38 And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was in Lydda, sent two men to him, urging, “Do not delay to come to us!”
吕大原与约帕相近; 门徒听见彼得在那里, 就打发两个人去见他, 央求他说: “快到我们那里去, 不要耽延. ”

9:39 So Peter got up and accompanied them. When he arrived, they brought him up to the upstairs room, and all the widows came to him, weeping and showing him tunics and other clothing that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.
彼得就起身和他们同去; 到了, 便有人领他上楼. 众寡妇都站在彼得旁边哭, 拿多加与她们同在时所做的里衣外衣给他看.

9:40 But Peter sent them all outside, and, falling to his knees, he prayed. And turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
彼得叫她们都出去, 就跪下祷告, 转身对着死人说: “大比大, 起来! ”她就睁开眼睛, 见了彼得, 便坐起来.

9:41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up. And he called the saints and the widows and presented her alive.
彼得伸手扶她起来, 叫众圣徒和寡妇进去, 把多加活活地交给他们.

9:42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
这事传遍了约帕, 就有许多人信了主.

9:43 And it happened that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
此后, 彼得在约帕一个硝皮匠西门的家里住了多日.

Acts - Chapter 10

10:1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Cohort,
在凯撒利亚有一个人, 名叫哥尼流, 是“意大利营”的百夫长.

10:2 devout and fearing God together with all his household, doing many charitable deeds for the people and praying to God continually.
他是个虔诚人, 他和全家都敬畏神, 多多赒济百姓, 常常祷告神.

10:3 About the ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius.”
有一天, 约在申初, 他在异象中明明看见神的一个使者进去, 到他那里, 说: “哥尼流. ”

10:4 And he stared at him and became terrified and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your charitable deeds have gone up for a memorial offering before God.
哥尼流定睛看他, 惊怕说: “主啊, 甚么事呢? ”天使说: “你的祷告和你的赒济达到神面前, 已蒙记念了.

10:5 And now, send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon, who is also called Peter.
现在你当打发人往约帕去, 请那称呼彼得的西门来.

10:6 This man is staying as a guest with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
他住在海边一个硝皮匠西门的家里, 房子在海边上. ”

10:7 And when the angel who spoke to him departed, he summoned two of the household slaves and a devout soldier from those who attended him,
向他说话的天使去后, 哥尼流叫了两个家人和常伺候他的一个虔诚兵来,

10:8 and after he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
把这事都述说给他们听, 就打发他们往约帕去.

10:9 And the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about the sixth hour.
第二天, 他们行路将近那城. 彼得约在午正, 上房顶去祷告,

10:10 And he became hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing the food, a trance came over him.
觉得饿了, 想要吃. 那家的人正预备饭的时候, 彼得魂游象外,

10:11 And he saw heaven opened and an object something like a large sheet coming down, being let down to the earth by its four corners,
看见天开了, 有一物降下, 好像一块大布, 系著四角, 缒在地上,

10:12 in which were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth and birds of the sky.
里面有地上各样四足的走兽和昆虫, 并天上的飞鸟;

10:13 And a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”
又有声音向他说: “彼得, 起来, 宰了吃! ”

10:14 But Peter said, “Certainly not, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common and unclean!”
彼得却说: “主啊, 这是不可的! 凡俗物和不洁净的物, 我从来没有吃过. ”

10:15 And the voice came again to him for the second time: “The things which God has made clean, you must not consider unclean!”
第二次有声音向他说: “神所洁净的, 你不可当作俗物. ”

10:16 And this happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into heaven.
这样一连三次, 那物随即收回天上去了.

10:17 Now while Peter was greatly perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having found the house of Simon by asking around, stood at the gate.
彼得心里正在猜疑之间, 不知所看见的异象是甚么意思. 哥尼流所差来的人已经访问到西门的家, 站在门外,

10:18 And they called out and asked if Simon who was also called Peter was staying there as a guest.
喊著问: “有称呼彼得的西门住在这里没有? ”

10:19 And while Peter was reflecting about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, men are looking for you.
彼得还思想那异象的时候, 圣灵向他说: “有三个人来找你.

10:20 But get up, go down, and go with them—not hesitating at all, because I have sent them.”
起来, 下去, 和他们同往, 不要疑惑, 因为是我差他们来的. ”

10:21 So Peter went down to the men and said, “Behold, I am he whom you are looking for! What is the reason for which you have come?”
于是彼得下去见那些人, 说: “我就是你们所找的人. 你们来是为甚么缘故? ”

10:22 And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man—and well spoken of by the whole nation of the Jews—was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear words from you.”
他们说: “百夫长哥尼流是个义人, 敬畏神, 为犹太通国所称赞. 他蒙一位圣天使指示, 叫他请你到他家里去, 听你的话. ”

10:23 So he invited them in and entertained them as guests, and on the next day he got up and went away with them. And some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
彼得就请他们进去, 住了一宿. 次日, 起身和他们同去, 还有约帕的几个弟兄同着他去;

10:24 And on the next day he entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.
又次日, 他们进入凯撒利亚, 哥尼流已经请了他的亲属密友等候他们.

10:25 So it happened that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him.
彼得一进去, 哥尼流就迎接他, 俯伏在他脚前拜他.

10:26 But Peter helped him up, saying, “Get up! I myself am also a man!”
彼得却拉他, 说: “你起来, 我也是人. ”

10:27 And as he conversed with him, he went in and found many people gathered.
彼得和他说著话进去, 见有好些人在那里聚集,

10:28 And he said to them, “You know that it is forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a foreigner. And to me God has shown that I should call no man common or unclean.
就对他们说: “你们知道, 犹太人和别国的人亲近来往本是不合例的, 但神已经指示我, 无论甚么人都不可看作俗而不洁净的.

10:29 Therefore—and without raising any objection—I came when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you sent for me.”
所以我被请的时候, 就不推辞而来. 现在请问: 你们叫我来有甚么意思呢? ”

10:30 And Cornelius said, “Four days ago at this hour, the ninth, I was praying in my house. And behold, a man in shining clothing stood before me
哥尼流说: “前四天, 这个时候, 我在家中守着申初的祷告, 忽然有一个人穿着光明的衣裳, 站在我面前,

10:31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your charitable deeds have been remembered before God.
说: ‘哥尼流, 你的祷告已蒙垂听, 你的赒济达到神面前已蒙记念了.

10:32 Therefore send to Joppa and summon Simon who is also called Peter. This man is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.
你当打发人往约帕去, 请那称呼彼得的西门来, 他住在海边一个硝皮匠西门的家里. ’

10:33 Therefore I sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come. So now we all are present before God to hear all the things that have been commanded to you by the Lord.”
所以我立时打发人去请你. 你来了很好; 现今我们都在神面前, 要听主所吩咐你的一切话. ”

10:34 So Peter opened his mouth and said, “In truth I understand that God is not one who shows partiality,
彼得就开口说: “我真看出神是不偏待人.

10:35 but in every nation the one who fears him and who does what is right is acceptable to him.
原来, 各国中那敬畏主,行义的人都为主所悦纳.

10:36 As for the message that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all—
神藉著耶稣基督(他是万有的主)传和平的福音, 将这道赐给以色列人.

10:37 you know the thing that happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John proclaimed:
这话在约翰宣传洗礼以后, 从加利利起, 传遍了犹太.

10:38 Jesus of Nazareth—how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.
神怎样以圣灵和能力膏拿撒勒人耶稣, 这都是你们知道的. 他周流四方, 行善事, 医好凡被魔鬼压制的人, 因为神与他同在.

10:39 And we are witnesses of all the things that he did both in the land of the Judeans and in Jerusalem, whom they also executed by hanging him on a tree.
他在犹太人之地, 并耶路撒冷所行的一切事, 有我们作见证. 他们竟把他挂在木头上杀了.

10:40 God raised this one up on the third day and granted that he should become visible,
第三日, 神叫他复活, 显现出来;

10:41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen beforehand by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
不是显现给众人看, 乃是显现给神预先所拣选为他作见证的人看, 就是我们这些在他从死里复活以后和他同吃同喝的人.

10:42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify solemnly that this one is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and of the dead.
他吩咐我们传道给众人, 证明他是神所立定的, 要作审判活人,死人的主.

10:43 To this one all the prophets testify, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins.”
众先知也为他作见证说: ‘凡信他的人必因他的名得蒙赦罪. ’”

10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who were listening to the message.
彼得还说这话的时候, 圣灵降在一切听道的人身上.

10:45 And those believers from the circumcision who had accompanied Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles,
那些奉割礼,和彼得同来的信徒, 见圣灵的恩赐也浇在外邦人身上, 就都希奇;

10:46 for they heard them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter said,
因听见他们说方言, 称赞神为大.

10:47 “Surely no one can withhold the water for these people to be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also did!”
于是彼得说: “这些人既受了圣灵, 与我们一样, 谁能禁止用水给他们施洗呢? ”

10:48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for several days.
就吩咐奉耶稣基督的名给他们施洗. 他们又请彼得住了几天.

Acts - Chapter 11

11:1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had accepted the word of God.
使徒和在犹太的众弟兄听说外邦人也领受了神的道.

11:2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision took issue with him,
及至彼得上了耶路撒冷, 那些奉割礼的门徒和他争辩说:

11:3 saying, “You went to men who were uncircumcised and ate with them!”
“你进入未受割礼之人的家和他们一同吃饭了. ”

11:4 But Peter began and explained it to them in an orderly sequence, saying,
彼得就开口把这事挨次给他们讲解说:

11:5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision—an object something like a large sheet coming down, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came to me.
“我在约帕城里祷告的时候, 魂游象外, 看见异象, 有一物降下, 好像一块大布, 系著四角, 从天缒下, 直来到我跟前.

11:6 As I looked intently into it, I was considering it, and I saw the four-footed animals of the earth and the wild animals and the reptiles and the birds of the sky.
我定睛观看, 见内中有地上四足的牲畜和野兽,昆虫, 并天上的飞鸟.

11:7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’
我且听见有声音向我说: ‘彼得, 起来, 宰了吃! ’

11:8 But I said, ‘Certainly not, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth!’
我说: ‘主啊, 这是不可的! 凡俗而不洁净的物从来没有入过我的口. ’

11:9 But the voice replied from heaven for the second time, ‘The things which God has made clean, you must not consider unclean!’
第二次, 有声音从天上说: ‘神所洁净的, 你不可当作俗物. ’

11:10 And this happened three times, and everything was pulled up into heaven again.
这样一连三次, 就都收回天上去了.

11:11 And behold, at once three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea approached the house in which we were staying.
正当那时, 有三个人站在我们所住的房门前, 是从凯撒利亚差来见我的.

11:12 And the Spirit told me to accompany them, not hesitating at all. So these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the man’s house.
圣灵吩咐我和他们同去, 不要疑惑(或译: 不要分别等类). 同著我去的, 还有这六位弟兄, 我们都进了那人的家.

11:13 And he reported to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter,
那人就告诉我们, 他如何看见一位天使站在他屋里, 说: ‘你打发人往约帕去, 请那称呼彼得的西门来,

11:14 who will speak words to you by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’
他有话告诉你, 可以叫你和你的全家得救. ’

11:15 And as I was beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as also on us at the beginning.
我一开讲, 圣灵便降在他们身上, 正像当初降在我们身上一样.

11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
我就想起主的话说: ‘约翰是用水施洗, 但你们要受圣灵的洗. ’

11:17 Therefore if God gave them the same gift as also to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?”
神既然给他们恩赐, 像在我们信主耶稣基督的时候给了我们一样; 我是谁, 能拦阻神呢? ”

11:18 And when they heard these things, they became silent and praised God, saying, “Then God has granted the repentance leading to life to the Gentiles also!”
众人听见这话, 就不言语了, 只归荣耀与神, 说: “这样看来, 神也赐恩给外邦人, 叫他们悔改得生命了. ”

11:19 Now those who had been scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, proclaiming the message to no one except Jews alone.
那些因司提反的事遭患难四散的门徒直走到腓尼基和塞浦路斯, 并安提阿; 他们不向别人讲道, 只向犹太人讲.

11:20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they came to Antioch, began to speak to the Hellenists also, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
但内中有塞浦路斯和古利奈人, 他们到了安提阿也向希腊人传讲主耶稣(有古卷: 也向说希腊话的犹太人传讲主耶稣).

11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.
主与他们同在, 信而归主的人就很多了.

11:22 And the report came to the attention of the church that was in Jerusalem about them, and they sent out Barnabas as far as Antioch,
这风声传到耶路撒冷教会人的耳中, 他们就打发巴拿巴出去, 走到安提阿为止.

11:23 who, when he arrived and saw the grace of God, rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,
他到了那里, 看见神所赐的恩就欢喜, 劝勉众人, 立定心志, 恒久靠主.

11:24 because he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a large number were added to the Lord.
这巴拿巴原是个好人, 被圣灵充满, 大有信心. 于是有许多人归服了主.

11:25 So he departed for Tarsus to look for Saul.
他又往大数去找扫罗,

11:26 And when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them also that they met together for a whole year with the church and taught a large number of people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
找著了, 就带他到安提阿去. 他们足有一年的工夫和教会一同聚集, 教训了许多人. 门徒称为“基督徒”是从安提阿起首.

11:27 Now in those days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
当那些日子, 有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿.

11:28 And one of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that a great famine was about to come over the whole inhabited earth (which took place in the time of Claudius).
内中有一位, 名叫亚迦布, 站起来, 藉著圣灵指明天下将有大饥荒. (这事到克劳第年间果然有了. )

11:29 So from the disciples, according to their ability to give, each one of them determined to send financial aid for support to the brothers who lived in Judea,
于是门徒定意照各人的力量捐钱, 送去供给住在犹太的弟兄.

11:30 which they also did, sending the aid to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
他们就这样行, 把捐项托巴拿巴和扫罗送到众长老那里.

Acts - Chapter 12

12:1 Now at that time, Herod the king laid hands on some of those from the church to harm them.
那时, 希律王下手苦害教会中几个人,

12:2 So he executed James the brother of John with a sword.
用刀杀了约翰的哥哥雅各.

12:3 And when he saw that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (Now this was during the feast of Unleavened Bread.)
他见犹太人喜欢这事, 又去捉拿彼得. 那时正是除酵的日子.

12:4 After he had arrested him, he also put him in prison, handing him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.
希律拿了彼得, 收在监里, 交付四班兵丁看守, 每班四个人, 意思要在逾越节后把他提出来, 当着百姓办他.

12:5 Thus Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer was fervently being made to God by the church for him.
于是彼得被囚在监里; 教会却为他切切地祷告神.

12:6 Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door were watching the prison.
希律将要提他出来的前一夜, 彼得被两条铁链锁著, 睡在两个兵丁当中; 看守的人也在门外看守.

12:7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood near him, and a light shone in the prison cell. And striking Peter’s side, he woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And his chains fell off of his hands.
忽然, 有主的一个使者站在旁边, 屋里有光照耀, 天使拍彼得的肋旁, 拍醒了他, 说: “快快起来! ”那铁链就从他手上脱落下来.

12:8 And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and put on your sandals!” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me!”
天使对他说: “束上带子, 穿上鞋. ”他就那样做. 天使又说: “披上外衣, 跟着我来. ”

12:9 And he went out and was following him. And he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but was thinking he was seeing a vision.
彼得就出来跟着他, 不知道天使所做是真的, 只当见了异象.

12:10 And after they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened for them by itself, and they went out and went forward along one narrow street, and at once the angel departed from him.
过了第一层第二层监牢, 就来到临街的铁门, 那门自己开了. 他们出来, 走过一条街, 天使便离开他去了.

12:11 And when Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know truly that the Lord has sent out his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and all that the Jewish people expected!”
彼得醒悟过来, 说: “我现在真知道主差遣他的使者, 救我脱离希律的手和犹太百姓一切所盼望的. ”

12:12 And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (who is also called Mark), where many people were gathered together and were praying.
想了一想, 就往那称呼马可的约翰,他母亲马利亚家去, 在那里有好些人聚集祷告.

12:13 And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a female slave named Rhoda came up to answer.
彼得敲外门, 有一个使女, 名叫罗大, 出来探听,

12:14 And recognizing Peter’s voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gate.
听得是彼得的声音, 就欢喜的顾不得开门, 跑进去告诉众人说: “彼得站在门外. ”

12:15 But they said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she kept insisting it was so. And they kept saying, “It is his angel!”
他们说: “你是疯了! ”使女极力地说: “真是他! ”他们说: “必是他的天使! ”

12:16 But Peter was continuing to knock, and when they opened the door they saw him and were astonished.
彼得不住地敲门. 他们开了门, 看见他, 就甚惊奇.

12:17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and to the brothers,” and he departed and went to another place.
彼得摆手, 不要他们作声, 就告诉他们主怎样领他出监; 又说: “你们把这事告诉雅各和众弟兄. ”于是出去, 往别处去了.

12:18 Now when day came, there was not a little commotion among the soldiers as to what then had become of Peter.
到了天亮, 兵丁扰乱得很, 不知道彼得往哪里去了.

12:19 And when Herod had searched for him and did not find him, he questioned the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. And he came down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.
希律找他, 找不著, 就审问看守的人, 吩咐把他们拉去杀了. 后来希律离开犹太, 下凯撒利亚去, 住在那里.

12:20 Now he was very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. So they came to him with one purpose, and after persuading Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country was supported with food from the king’s country.
希律恼怒泰尔,西顿的人. 他们那一带地方是从王的地土得粮, 因此就托了王的内侍臣伯拉斯都的情, 一心来求和.

12:21 So on an appointed day Herod, after putting on royal clothing and sitting down on the judgment seat, began to deliver a public address to them.
希律在所定的日子, 穿上朝服, 坐在位上, 对他们讲论一番.

12:22 But the people began to call out loudly, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
百姓喊著说: “这是神的声音, 不是人的声音. ”

12:23 And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down because he did not give the glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
希律不归荣耀给神, 所以主的使者立刻罚他, 他被虫所咬, 气就绝了.

12:24 But the word of God kept on increasing and multiplying.
神的道日见兴旺, 越发广传.

12:25 So Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had completed their service, having taken along with them John (who is also called Mark).
巴拿巴和扫罗办完了他们供给的事, 就从耶路撒冷回来, 带着称呼马可的约翰同去.

Acts - Chapter 13

13:1 Now there were prophets and teachers in Antioch in the church that was there: Barnabas, and Simeon (who was called Niger), and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen (a close friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
在安提阿的教会中, 有几位先知和教师, 就是巴拿巴和称呼尼结的西面,古利奈人路求, 与分封之王希律同养的马念, 并扫罗.

13:2 And while they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart now for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
他们事奉主,禁食的时候, 圣灵说: “要为我分派巴拿巴和扫罗, 去做我召他们所做的工. ”

13:3 Then, after they had fasted and prayed and placed their hands on them, they sent them away.
于是禁食祷告, 按手在他们头上, 就打发他们去了.

13:4 Therefore, sent out by the Holy Spirit, they came down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed away to Cyprus.
他们既被圣灵差遣, 就下到西流基, 从那里坐船往塞浦路斯去.

13:5 And when they came to Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John as assistant.
到了撒拉米, 就在犹太人各会堂里传讲神的道, 也有约翰作他们的帮手.

13:6 And when they had crossed over the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,
经过全岛, 直到帕弗, 在那里遇见一个有法术,假充先知的犹太人, 名叫巴•耶稣.

13:7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and wished to hear the word of God.
这人常和方伯士求•保罗同在. 士求•保罗是个通达人, 他请了巴拿巴和扫罗来, 要听神的道.

13:8 But Elymas the magician (for his name is translated in this way) opposed them, attempting to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
只是那行法术的以吕马(这名翻出来就是行法术的意思)敌挡使徒, 要叫方伯不信真道.

13:9 But Saul (also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him
扫罗又名保罗, 被圣灵充满, 定睛看他,

13:10 and said, “O you who are full of all deceit and of all unscrupulousness, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord!
说: “你这充满各样诡诈奸恶, 魔鬼的儿子, 众善的仇敌, 你混乱主的正道还不止住吗?

13:11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is against you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a while. And immediately mist and darkness fell over him, and he was going around looking for people to lead him by the hand.
现在主的手加在你身上, 你要瞎眼, 暂且不见日光. ”他的眼睛立刻昏蒙黑暗, 四下里求人拉着手领他.

13:12 Then when the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was astounded at the teaching about the Lord.
方伯看见所做的事, 很希奇主的道, 就信了.

13:13 Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia, but John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
保罗和他的同人从帕弗开船, 来到旁非利亚的别加, 约翰就离开他们, 回耶路撒冷去.

13:14 And they went on from Perga and arrived at Pisidian Antioch. And they entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath and sat down.
他们离了别加往前行, 来到彼西底的安提阿, 在安息日进会堂坐下.

13:15 So after the reading from the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Men and brothers, if there is any message of exhortation by you for the people, say it.”

13:42 And as they were going out, they began urging that these things be spoken about to them on the next Sabbath.
他们出会堂的时候, 众人请他们到下安息日再讲这话给他们听.

13:43 And after the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking to them and were persuading them to continue in the grace of God.
散会以后, 犹太人和敬虔进犹太教的人多有跟从保罗,巴拿巴的. 二人对他们讲道, 劝他们务要恒久在神的恩中.

13:44 And on the coming Sabbath, nearly the whole city came together to hear the word of the Lord.
到下安息日, 合城的人几乎都来聚集, 要听神的道.

13:46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you, since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life! Behold, we are turning to the Gentiles!
保罗和巴拿巴放胆说: “神的道先讲给你们原是应当的; 只因你们弃绝这道, 断定自己不配得永生, 我们就转向外邦人去.

13:47 For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed you to be a light for the Gentiles, that you would bring salvation to the end of the earth.’
因为主曾这样吩咐我们说: 我已经立你作外邦人的光, 叫你施行救恩, 直到地极. ”

13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice and to glorify the word of the Lord. And all those who were designated for eternal life believed.
外邦人听见这话, 就欢喜了, 赞美神的道; 凡预定得永生的人都信了.

13:49 So the word of the Lord was carried through the whole region.
于是主的道传遍了那一带地方.

13:50 But the Jews incited the devout women of high social standing and the most prominent men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out of their district.
但犹太人挑唆虔敬,尊贵的妇女和城内有名望的人, 逼迫保罗,巴拿巴, 将他们赶出境外.

13:51 So after shaking off the dust from their feet against them, they went to Iconium.
二人对着众人跺下脚上的尘土, 就往以哥念去了.

13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Acts - Chapter 14

14:1 Now it happened that in Iconium they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed.

但那不顺从的犹太人耸动外邦人, 叫他们心里恼恨弟兄.

14:3 So they stayed there for a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who testified to the message of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be performed through their hands.
二人在那里住了多日, 倚靠主放胆讲道; 主藉他们的手施行神蹟奇事, 证明他的恩道.

14:4 But the population of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.
城里的众人就分了党, 有附从犹太人的, 有附从使徒的.

14:5 So when an inclination took place on the part of both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them,
那时, 外邦人和犹太人, 并他们的官长, 一齐拥上来, 要凌辱使徒, 用石头打他们.

14:6 they became aware of it and fled to the Lycaonian cities—Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding region.
使徒知道了, 就逃往吕高尼的路司得,特庇两个城和周围地方去,

14:7 And there they were continuing to proclaim the good news.
在那里传福音.

14:8 And in Lystra a certain man was sitting powerless in his feet, lame from birth, who had never walked.
路司得城里坐着一个两脚无力的人, 生来是瘸腿的, 从来没有走过.

14:9 This man listened while Paul was speaking. Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
他听保罗讲道, 保罗定睛看他, 见他有信心, 可得痊愈,

14:10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he leaped up and began walking.
就大声说: “你起来, 两脚站直! ”那人就跳起来, 而且行走.

14:11 And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods have become like men and have come down to us!”
众人看见保罗所做的事, 就用吕高尼的话大声说: “有神藉著人形降临在我们中间了. ”

14:12 And they began calling Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes, because he was the principal speaker.
于是称巴拿巴为宙斯, 称保罗为希耳米, 因为他说话领首.

14:13 And the priest of the temple of Zeus that was just outside the city brought bulls and garlands to the gates and was wanting to offer sacrifice, along with the crowds.
有城外宙斯庙的祭司牵着牛, 拿着花圈, 来到门前, 要同众人向使徒献祭.

14:14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they tore their clothing and rushed out into the crowd, shouting
巴拿巴,保罗二使徒听见, 就撕开衣裳, 跳进众人中间, 喊著说:

14:15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, proclaiming the good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things that are in them—
“诸君, 为甚么做这事呢? 我们也是人, 性情和你们一样. 我们传福音给你们, 是叫你们离弃这些虚妄, 归向那创造天,地,海, 和其中万物的永生神.

14:16 who in generations that are past permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
他在从前的世代, 任凭万国各行其道;

14:17 And yet he did not leave himself without witness by doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying you with food and your hearts with gladness.”
然而为自己未尝不显出证据来, 就如常施恩惠, 从天降雨, 赏赐丰年, 叫你们饮食饱足, 满心喜乐. ”

14:18 And although they said these things, only with difficulty did they dissuade the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
二人说了这些话, 仅仅地拦住众人不献祭与他们.

14:19 But Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium, and when they had won over the crowds and stoned Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead.
但有些犹太人从安提阿和以哥念来, 挑唆众人, 就用石头打保罗, 以为他是死了, 便拖到城外.

14:20 But after the disciples surrounded him, he got up and went into the city. And on the next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.
门徒正围着他, 他就起来, 走进城去. 第二天, 同巴拿巴往特庇去,

14:21 And after they had proclaimed the good news in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
对那城里的人传了福音, 使好些人作门徒, 就回路司得,以哥念,安提阿去,

14:22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith and saying, “Through many persecutions it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God.”
坚固门徒的心, 劝他们恒守所信的道; 又说: “我们进入神的国, 必须经历许多艰难. ”

14:23 And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, after praying with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
二人在各教会中选立了长老, 又禁食祷告, 就把他们交托所信的主.

14:24 And they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

14:25 And after they proclaimed the message in Perga, they went down to Attalia,
在别加讲了道, 就下亚大利去,

14:26 and from there they sailed away to Antioch where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.
从那里坐船, 往安提阿去. 当初, 他们被众人所托,蒙神之恩,要办现在所做之工, 就是在这地方.

14:27 And when they arrived and called the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.
到了那里, 聚集了会众, 就述说神藉他们所行的一切事, 并神怎样为外邦人开了信道的门.

14:28 And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
二人就在那里同门徒住了多日.

Acts - Chapter 15

15:1 And some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom prescribed by Moses, you cannot be saved.”
有几个人从犹太下来, 教训弟兄们说: “你们若不按摩西的规条受割礼, 不能得救. ”

15:2 And after there was no little strife and debate by Paul and Barnabas against them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among them to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning this issue.
保罗,巴拿巴与他们大大地纷争辩论; 众门徒就定规, 叫保罗,巴拿巴和本会中几个人, 为所辩论的, 上耶路撒冷去见使徒和长老.

15:3 So they were sent on their way by the church, and passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, telling in detail the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
于是教会送他们起行. 他们经过腓尼基,撒马利亚, 随处传说外邦人归主的事, 叫众弟兄都甚欢喜.

15:4 And when they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and reported all that God had done with them.
到了耶路撒冷, 教会和使徒并长老都接待他们, 他们就述说神同他们所行的一切事.

15:5 But some of those who had believed from the party of the Pharisees stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to observe the law of Moses!”
惟有几个信徒, 是法利赛教门的人, 起来说: “必须给外邦人行割礼, 吩咐他们遵守摩西的律法. ”

15:6 Both the apostles and the elders assembled to deliberate concerning this matter.
使徒和长老聚会商议这事;

15:7 And after there was much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Men and brothers, you know that in the early days God chose among you through my mouth that the Gentiles should hear the message of the gospel and believe.
辩论已经多了, 彼得就起来, 说: “诸位弟兄, 你们知道神早已在你们中间拣选了我, 叫外邦人从我口中得听福音之道, 而且相信.

15:8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us.
知道人心的神也为他们作了见证, 赐圣灵给他们, 正如给我们一样;

15:9 And he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
又藉著信洁净了他们的心, 并不分他们我们.

15:10 So now why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
现在为甚么试探神, 要把我们祖宗和我们所不能负的轭放在门徒的颈项上呢?

15:11 But we believe we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way those also are.”
我们得救乃是因主耶稣的恩, 和他们一样, 这是我们所信的. ”

15:12 And the whole group became silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul describing all the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
众人都默默无声, 听巴拿巴和保罗述说神藉他们在外邦人中所行的神蹟奇事.

15:13 And after they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, “Men and brothers, listen to me!
他们住了声, 雅各就说: “诸位弟兄, 请听我的话.

15:14 Simeon has described how God first concerned himself to take from among the Gentiles a people for his name.
方才西门述说神当初怎样眷顾外邦人, 从他们中间选取百姓归于自己的名下;

15:15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
众先知的话也与这意思相合.

15:16 ‘After these things I will return and build up again the tent of David that has fallen, and the parts of it that had been torn down I will build up again and will restore it,
正如经上所写的: 此后, 我要回来, 重新修造大卫倒塌的帐幕, 把那破坏的重新修造建立起来,

15:17 so that the rest of humanity may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
叫余剩的人, 就是凡称为我名下的外邦人, 都寻求主.

15:18 known from of old.’
这话是从创世以来显明这事的主说的.

15:19 Therefore I conclude we should not cause difficulty for those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“所以据我的意见, 不可难为那归服神的外邦人;

15:20 but we should write a letter to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from sexual immorality and from what has been strangled and from blood.
只要写信, 吩咐他们禁戒偶像的污秽和奸淫, 并勒死的牲畜和血.

15:21 For Moses has those who proclaim him in every city from ancient generations, because he is read aloud in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
因为从古以来, 摩西的书在各城有人传讲, 每逢安息日, 在会堂里诵读. ”

15:22 Then it seemed best to the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, to send men chosen from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas—Judas who was called Barsabbas and Silas, men who were leaders among the brothers—
那时, 使徒和长老并全教会定意从他们中间拣选人, 差他们和保罗,巴拿巴同往安提阿去; 所拣选的就是称呼巴撒巴的犹大和西拉. 这两个人在弟兄中是作首领的.

15:23 writing this letter to be delivered by them: The apostles and the elders, brothers. To the brothers who are from among the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia. Greetings!
于是写信交付他们, 内中说: “使徒和作长老的弟兄们问安提阿,叙利亚,基利家外邦众弟兄的安.

15:24 Because we have heard that some have gone out from among us—to whom we gave no orders—and have thrown you into confusion by words upsetting your minds,
我们听说, 有几个人从我们这里出去, 用言语搅扰你们, 惑乱你们的心. (有古卷加: 你们必须受割礼, 守摩西的律法. )其实我们并没有吩咐他们.

15:25 it seemed best to us, having reached a unanimous decision, and having chosen men, to send them to you together with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,
所以, 我们同心定意, 拣选几个人, 差他们同我们所亲爱的巴拿巴和保罗往你们那里去.

15:26 men who have risked their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
这二人是为我主耶稣基督的名不顾性命的.

15:27 Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, and they will report the same things by word of mouth.
我们就差了犹大和西拉, 他们也要亲口诉说这些事.

15:28 For it seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us to place on you no greater burden except these necessary things:
因为圣灵和我们定意不将别的重担放在你们身上, 惟有几件事是不可少的,

15:29 that you abstain from food sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these things you will do well. Farewell.
就是禁戒祭偶像的物和血, 并勒死的牲畜和奸淫. 这几件你们若能自己禁戒不犯就好了. 愿你们平安! ”

15:30 So when they were sent off, they came down to Antioch, and after calling together the community, they delivered the letter.
他们既奉了差遣, 就下安提阿去, 聚集众人, 交付书信.

15:31 And when they read it aloud, they rejoiced at the encouragement.
众人念了, 因为信上安慰的话就欢喜了.

15:32 Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers by a long message.
犹大和西拉也是先知, 就用许多话劝勉弟兄, 坚固他们.

15:33 And after spending some time, they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those who had sent them.
住了些日子, 弟兄们打发他们平平安安地回到差遣他们的人那里去. (有古卷加:

15:34
惟有西拉定意仍住在那里. )

15:35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord with many others also.
但保罗和巴拿巴仍住在安提阿, 和许多别人一同教训人, 传主的道.

15:36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Come then,let us return and visit the brothers in every town in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
过了些日子, 保罗对巴拿巴说: “我们可以回到从前宣传主道的各城, 看望弟兄们景况如何. ”

15:37 Now Barnabas wanted to take John who was called Mark along also,
巴拿巴有意要带称呼马可的约翰同去;

15:38 but Paul held the opinion they should not take this one along, who departed from them in Pamphylia and did not accompany them in the work.
但保罗因为马可从前在旁非利亚离开他们, 不和他们同去做工, 就以为不可带他去.

15:39 And a sharp disagreement took place, so that they separated from one another. And Barnabas took along Mark and sailed away to Cyprus,
于是二人起了争论, 甚至彼此分开. 巴拿巴带着马可, 坐船往塞浦路斯去;

15:40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, after being commended to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.
保罗拣选了西拉, 也出去, 蒙弟兄们把他交于主的恩中.

15:41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
他就走遍叙利亚,基利家, 坚固众教会.

Acts - Chapter 16

16:1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman but of a Greek father,
保罗来到特庇, 又到路司得. 在那里有一个门徒, 名叫提摩太, 是信主之犹太妇人的儿子, 他父亲却是希腊人.

16:2 who was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
路司得和以哥念的弟兄都称赞他.

16:3 Paul wanted this one to go with him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
保罗要带他同去, 只因那些地方的犹太人都知道他父亲是希腊人, 就给他行了割礼.

16:4 And as they went through the towns, they passed on to them to observe the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
他们经过各城, 把耶路撒冷使徒和长老所定的条规交给门徒遵守.

16:5 So the churches were being strengthened in the faith and were growing in number every day.
于是众教会信心越发坚固, 人数天天加增.

16:6 And they traveled through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message in Asia.
圣灵既然禁止他们在亚细亚讲道, 他们就经过弗吕家,加拉太一带地方.

16:7 And when they came to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
到了每西亚的边界, 他们想要往庇推尼去, 耶稣的灵却不许.

16:8 So going through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
他们就越过每西亚, 下到特罗亚去.

16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: a certain Macedonian man was standing there and imploring him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!”
在夜间有异象现与保罗. 有一个马其顿人站着求他说: “请你过到马其顿来帮助我们. ”

16:10 And when he had seen the vision, we wanted at once to go away to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.
保罗既看见这异象, 我们随即想要往马其顿去, 以为神召我们传福音给那里的人听.

16:11 So putting out to sea from Troas, we sailed a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis,
于是从特罗亚开船, 一直行到撒摩特喇, 第二天到了尼亚坡里.

16:12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of that district of Macedonia, a Roman colony. And we were staying in this city for some days.
从那里来到腓立比, 就是马其顿这一方的头一个城, 也是罗马的驻防城. 我们在这城里住了几天.

16:13 And on the day of the Sabbath, we went outside the city gate beside the river, where we thought there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women assembled there.
当安息日, 我们出城门, 到了河边, 知道那里有一个祷告的地方, 我们就坐下对那聚会的妇女讲道.

16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia from the city of Thyatira, a merchant dealing in purple cloth who showed reverence for God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was being said by Paul.
有一个卖紫色布疋的妇人, 名叫吕底亚, 是推雅推喇城的人, 素来敬拜神. 她听见了, 主就开导她的心, 叫她留心听保罗所讲的话.

16:15 And after she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, “If you consider me to be a believer in the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
她和她一家既领了洗, 便求我们说: “你们若以为我是真信主的(或译: 你们若以为我是忠心事主的), 请到我家里来住”; 于是强留我们.

16:16 And it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain female slave who had a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing a large profit to her owners by fortune-telling.
后来, 我们往那祷告的地方去. 有一个使女迎著面来, 她被巫鬼所附, 用法术, 叫她主人们大得财利.

16:17 She followed Paul and us and was crying out, saying, “These men are slaves of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
她跟随保罗和我们, 喊著说: “这些人是至高神的仆人, 对你们传说救人的道. ”

16:18 And she was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed and turning around, said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out immediately.
她一连多日这样喊叫, 保罗就心中厌烦, 转身对那鬼说: “我奉耶稣基督的名, 吩咐你从她身上出来! ”那鬼当时就出来了.

16:19 But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
使女的主人们见得利的指望没有了, 便揪住保罗和西拉, 拉他们到市上去见首领;

16:20 And when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,
又带到官长面前说: “这些人原是犹太人, 竟骚扰我们的城,

16:21 and are proclaiming customs that are not permitted for us to accept or to practice, because we are Romans!”
传我们罗马人所不可受不可行的规矩. ”

16:22 And the crowd joined in attacking them, and the chief magistrates tore off their clothing and gave orders to beat them with rods.
众人就一同起来攻击他们. 官长吩咐剥了他们的衣裳, 用棍打;

16:23 And after they had inflicted many blows on them, they threw them into prison, giving orders to the jailer to guard them securely.
打了许多棍, 便将他们下在监里, 嘱咐禁卒严紧看守.

16:24 Having received such an order, he put them in the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
禁卒领了这样的命, 就把他们下在内监里, 两脚上了木狗.

16:25 Now about midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
约在半夜, 保罗和西拉祷告, 唱诗赞美神, 众囚犯也侧耳而听.

16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and all the bonds were unfastened.
忽然, 地大震动, 甚至监牢的地基都摇动了, 监门立刻全开, 众囚犯的锁链也都松开了.

16:27 And after the jailer was awake and saw the doors of the prison open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought the prisoners had escaped.
禁卒一醒, 看见监门全开, 以为囚犯已经逃走, 就拔刀要自杀.

16:28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, “Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here!”
保罗大声呼叫说: “不要伤害自己! 我们都在这里. ”

16:29 And demanding lights, he rushed in and, beginning to tremble, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
禁卒叫人拿灯来, 就跳进去, 战战兢兢地俯伏在保罗,西拉面前;

16:30 And he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do so that I can be saved?”
又领他们出来, 说: “二位先生, 我当怎样行才可以得救? ”

16:31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household!”
他们说: “当信主耶稣, 你和你一家都必得救. ”

16:32 And they spoke the message of the Lord to him, together with all those in his house.
他们就把主的道讲给他和他全家的人听.

16:33 And he took them at that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and he himself was baptized at once, and all those of his household.
当夜, 就在那时候, 禁卒把他们带去, 洗他们的伤; 他和属乎他的人立时都受了洗.

16:34 And he brought them up into his house and set a meal before them, and rejoiced greatly that he had believed in God with his whole household.
于是禁卒领他们上自己家里去, 给他们摆上饭. 他和全家, 因为信了神, 都很喜乐.

16:35 And when it was day, the chief magistrates sent the police officers, saying, “Release those men.”
到了天亮, 官长打发差役来, 说: “释放那两个人吧. ”

16:36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: “The chief magistrates have sent an order that you should be released. So come out now and go in peace!”
禁卒就把这话告诉保罗说: “官长打发人来叫释放你们, 如今可以出监, 平平安安地去吧. ”

16:37 But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without due process—men who are Roman citizens—and threw us into prison, and now they are wanting to release us secretly? Certainly not! Rather let them come themselves and bring us out!”
保罗却说: “我们是罗马人, 并没有定罪, 他们就在众人面前打了我们, 又把我们下在监里, 现在要私下撵我们出去吗? 这是不行的. 叫他们自己来领我们出去吧! ”

16:38 So the police officers reported these words to the chief magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
差役把这话回禀官长. 官长听见他们是罗马人, 就害怕了,

16:39 And they came and apologized to them, and after they brought them out they asked them to depart from the city.
于是来劝他们, 领他们出来, 请他们离开那城.

16:40 And when they came out of the prison, they went to Lydia and when they saw them, they encouraged the brothers and departed.
二人出了监, 往吕底亚家里去, 见了弟兄们, 劝慰他们一番, 就走了.

Acts - Chapter 17

17:1 Now after they traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
保罗和西拉经过暗妃坡里,亚波罗尼亚, 来到帖撒罗尼迦, 在那里有犹太人的会堂.

17:2 And as was his custom, Paul went in to them and on three Sabbath days he discussed with them from the scriptures,
保罗照他素常的规矩进去, 一连三个安息日, 本着圣经与他们辩论,

17:3 explaining and demonstrating that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ.”
讲解陈明基督必须受害, 从死里复活; 又说: “我所传与你们的这位耶稣就是基督. ”

17:4 And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, and also a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
他们中间有些人听了劝, 就附从保罗和西拉, 并有许多虔敬的希腊人, 尊贵的妇女也不少.

17:5 But the Jews were filled with jealousy and, taking along some worthless men from the rabble in the marketplace and forming a mob, threw the city into an uproar. And attacking Jason’s house, they were looking for them to bring them out to the popular assembly.
但那不信的犹太人心里嫉妒, 招聚了些市井匪类, 搭伙成群, 耸动合城的人闯进耶孙的家, 要将保罗,西拉带到百姓那里.

17:6 And when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These people who have stirred up trouble throughout the world have come here also,
找不著他们, 就把耶孙和几个弟兄拉到地方官那里, 喊叫说: “那搅乱天下的也到这里来了,

17:7 whom Jason has entertained as guests! And these people are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king, Jesus!”
耶孙收留他们. 这些人都违背凯撒的命令, 说另有一个王耶稣. ”

17:8 And they threw the crowd into confusion, and the city officials who heard these things.
众人和地方官听见这话, 就惊慌了;

17:9 And after taking money as security from Jason and the rest, they released them.
于是取了耶孙和其余之人的保状, 就释放了他们.

17:10 Now the brothers sent away both Paul and Silas at once, during the night, to Berea. They went into the synagogue of the Jews when they arrived.
弟兄们随即在夜间打发保罗和西拉往庇哩亚去. 二人到了, 就进入犹太人的会堂.

17:11 Now these were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They accepted the message with all eagerness, examining the scriptures every day to see if these things were so.
这地方的人贤于帖撒罗尼迦的人, 甘心领受这道, 天天考查圣经, 要晓得这道是与不是.

17:12 Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men.
所以他们中间多有相信的, 又有希腊尊贵的妇女, 男子也不少.

17:13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the message of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there too, inciting and stirring up the crowds.
但帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人知道保罗又在庇哩亚传神的道, 也就往那里去, 耸动搅扰众人.

17:14 So then the brothers sent Paul away at once to go to the sea, and both Silas and Timothy remained there.
当时弟兄们便打发保罗往海边去, 西拉和提摩太仍住在庇哩亚.

17:15 And those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens, and after receiving an order for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as soon as possible, they went away.
送保罗的人带他到了雅典, 既领了保罗的命, 叫西拉和提摩太速速到他这里来, 就回去了.

17:16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he observed the city was full of idols.
保罗在雅典等候他们的时候, 看见满城都是偶像, 就心里着急;

17:17 So he was discussing in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
于是在会堂里与犹太人和虔敬的人, 并每日在市上所遇见的人, 辩论.

17:18 And even some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were saying, “What does this babbler want to say?” But others said, “He appears to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,” because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.
还有伊壁鸠鲁和斯多亚两门的学士, 与他争论. 有的说: “这胡言乱语的要说甚么? ”有的说: “他似乎是传说外邦鬼神的. ”这话是因保罗传讲耶稣与复活的道.

17:19 And they took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we learn what is this new teaching being proclaimed by you?
他们就把他带到亚略•巴古, 说: “你所讲的这新道, 我们也可以知道吗?

17:20 For you are bringing some astonishing things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.”
因为你有些奇怪的事传到我们耳中, 我们愿意知道这些事是甚么意思. ”

17:21 (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who stayed there used to spend their time in nothing else than telling something or listening to something new.)
(雅典人和住在那里的客人都不顾别的事, 只将新闻说说听听. )

17:22 So Paul stood there in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see you are very religious in every respect.
保罗站在亚略•巴古当中, 说: “众位雅典人哪, 我看你们凡事很敬畏鬼神.

17:23 For as I was passing through and observing carefully your objects of worship, I even found an altar on which was inscribed, ‘To an unknown God.’ Therefore what you worship without knowing it, this I proclaim to you—
我游行的时候, 观看你们所敬拜的, 遇见一座坛, 上面写着‘未识之神’. 你们所不认识而敬拜的, 我现在告诉你们.

17:24 the God who made the world and all the things in it. This one, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands,
创造宇宙和其中万物的神, 既是天地的主, 就不住人手所造的殿,

17:25 nor is he served by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to everyone life and breath and everything.
也不用人手服事, 好像缺少甚么; 自己倒将生命,气息,万物, 赐给万人.

17:26 And he made from one man every nation of humanity to live on all the face of the earth, determining their fixed times and the fixed boundaries of their habitation,
他从一本(本: 有古卷是血脉)造出万族的人, 住在全地上, 并且预先定准他们的年限和所住的疆界,

17:27 to search for God, if perhaps indeed they might feel around for him and find him. And indeed he is not far away from each one of us,
要叫他们寻求神, 或者可以揣摩而得, 其实他离我们各人不远;

17:28 for in him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said: ‘For we also are his offspring.’
我们生活,动作,存留, 都在乎他. 就如你们作诗的, 有人说: ‘我们也是他所生的. ’

17:29 Therefore, because we are offspring of God, we ought not to think the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought.
我们既是神所生的, 就不当以为神的神性像人用手艺,心思所雕刻的金,银,石.

17:30 Therefore although God has overlooked the times of ignorance, he now commands all people everywhere to repent,
世人蒙昧无知的时候, 神并不监察, 如今却吩咐各处的人都要悔改.

17:31 because he has set a day on which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by the man who he has appointed, having provided proof to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
因为他已经定了日子, 要藉著他所设立的人按公义审判天下, 并且叫他从死里复活, 给万人作可信的凭据. ”

17:32 Now when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some scoffed, but others said, “We will hear you about this again also.”
众人听见从死里复活的话, 就有讥诮他的; 又有人说: “我们再听你讲这个吧! ”

17:33 So Paul went out from the midst of them.
于是保罗从他们当中出去了.

17:34 But some people joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
但有几个人贴近他, 信了主, 其中有亚略•巴古的官丢尼修, 并一个妇人, 名叫大马哩, 还有别人一同信从.

Acts - Chapter 18

18:1 After these things he departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
这事以后, 保罗离了雅典, 来到哥林多.

18:2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus who had arrived recently from Italy along with Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, and he went to them.
遇见一个犹太人, 名叫亚居拉, 他生在本都; 因为革老丢命犹太人都离开罗马, 新近带着妻百基拉, 从意大利来. 保罗就投奔了他们.

18:3 And because he was practicing the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
他们本是制造帐棚为业. 保罗因与他们同业, 就和他们同住做工.

18:4 And he argued in the synagogue every Sabbath, attempting to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
每逢安息日, 保罗在会堂里辩论, 劝化犹太人和希腊人.

18:5 Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to be occupied with the message, solemnly testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
西拉和提摩太从马其顿来的时候, 保罗为道迫切, 向犹太人证明耶稣是基督.

18:6 And when they resisted and reviled him, he shook out his clothes and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”
他们既抗拒,毁谤, 保罗就抖著衣裳, 说: “你们的罪(原文是血)归到你们自己头上, 与我无干(原文是我却干净). 从今以后, 我要往外邦人那里去. ”

18:7 And leaving there, he entered into the house of someone named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God whose house was next door to the synagogue.
于是离开那里, 到了一个人的家中; 这人名叫提多犹士都, 是敬拜神的, 他的家靠近会堂.

18:8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they heard about it, believed and were baptized.
管会堂的基利司布和全家都信了主, 还有许多哥林多人听了, 就相信受洗.

18:9 And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent,
夜间, 主在异象中对保罗说: “不要怕, 只管讲, 不要闭口,

18:10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.”
有我与你同在, 必没有人下手害你, 因为在这城里我有许多的百姓. ”

18:11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
保罗在那里住了一年零六个月, 将神的道教训他们.

18:12 Now when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one purpose against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
到迦流作亚该亚方伯的时候, 犹太人同心起来攻击保罗, 拉他到公堂,

18:13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law!”
说: “这个人劝人不按著律法敬拜神. ”

18:14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it was some crime or wicked villainy, O Jews, I would have been justified in accepting your complaint.
保罗刚要开口, 迦流就对犹太人说: “你们这些犹太人! 如果是为冤枉或奸恶的事, 我理当耐性听你们.

18:15 But if it is questions concerning a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves! I do not wish to be a judge of these things.”
但所争论的, 若是关乎言语,名目, 和你们的律法, 你们自己去办吧! 这样的事我不愿意审问”;

18:16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
就把他们撵出公堂.

18:17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. And none of these things was a concern to Gallio.
众人便揪住管会堂的所提尼, 在堂前打他. 这些事迦流都不管.

18:18 So Paul, after remaining many days longer, said farewell to the brothers and sailed away to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head at Cenchrea, because he had taken a vow.
保罗又住了多日, 就辞别了弟兄, 坐船往叙利亚去; 百基拉,亚居拉和他同去. 他因为许过愿, 就在坚革哩剪了头发.

18:19 So they arrived at Ephesus, and those he left behind there, but he himself entered into the synagogue and discussed with the Jews.
到了以弗所, 保罗就把他们留在那里, 自己进了会堂, 和犹太人辩论.

18:20 And when they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not give his consent,
众人请他多住些日子, 他却不允,

18:21 but saying farewell and telling them, “I will return to you again if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.
就辞别他们, 说: “神若许我, 我还要回到你们这里”; 于是开船离了以弗所.

18:22 And when he arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
在凯撒利亚下了船, 就上耶路撒冷去问教会安, 随后下安提阿去.

18:23 And after spending some time there, he departed, traveling through one place after another in the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
住了些日子, 又离开那里, 挨次经过加拉太和弗吕家地方, 坚固众门徒.

18:24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, arrived in Ephesus—an eloquent man who was well-versed in the scriptures.
有一个犹太人, 名叫亚波罗, 来到以弗所. 他生在亚历山大, 是有学问(或译: 口才)的, 最能讲解圣经.

18:25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being enthusiastic in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
这人已经在主的道上受了教训, 心里火热, 将耶稣的事详细讲论教训人; 只是他单晓得约翰的洗礼.

18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.
他在会堂里放胆讲道; 百基拉,亚居拉听见, 就接他来, 将神的道给他讲解更加详细.

18:27 And when he wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he assisted greatly those who had believed through grace.
他想要往亚该亚去, 弟兄们就勉励他, 并写信请门徒接待他(或译: 弟兄们就写信劝门徒接待他). 他到了那里, 多帮助那蒙恩信主的人,

18:28 For he was vigorously refuting the Jews in public, demonstrating through the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
在众人面前极有能力驳倒犹太人, 引圣经证明耶稣是基督.

Acts - Chapter 19

19:1 And it happened that while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the inland regions and came to Ephesus and found some disciples.
亚波罗在哥林多的时候, 保罗经过了上边一带地方, 就来到以弗所; 在那里遇见几个门徒,

19:2 And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “But we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit!”
问他们说: “你们信的时候受了圣灵没有? ”他们回答说: “没有, 也未曾听见有圣灵赐下来. ”

19:3 And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into the baptism of John.”
保罗说: “这样, 你们受的是甚么洗呢? ”他们说: “是约翰的洗. ”

19:4 And Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the one who was to come after him—that is, in Jesus.”
保罗说: “约翰所行的是悔改的洗, 告诉百姓当信那在他以后要来的, 就是耶稣. ”

19:5 And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
他们听见这话, 就奉主耶稣的名受洗.

19:6 And when Paul laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
保罗按手在他们头上, 圣灵便降在他们身上, 他们就说方言, 又说预言(或译: 又讲道).

19:7 (Now the total number of men was about twelve.)
一共约有十二个人.

19:8 So he entered into the synagogue and was speaking boldly for three months, discussing and attempting to convince them concerning the kingdom of God.
保罗进会堂, 放胆讲道, 一连三个月, 辩论神国的事, 劝化众人.

19:9 But when some became hardened and were disobedient, reviling the Way before the congregation, he departed from them and took away the disciples, leading discussions every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
后来, 有些人心里刚硬不信, 在众人面前毁谤这道, 保罗就离开他们, 也叫门徒与他们分离, 便在推喇奴的学房天天辩论.

19:10 And this took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
这样有两年之久, 叫一切住在亚细亚的, 无论是犹太人, 是希腊人, 都听见主的道.

19:11 And God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
神藉保罗的手行了些非常的奇事;

19:12 so that even handkerchiefs or work aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to those who were sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.
甚至有人从保罗身上拿手巾或围裙放在病人身上, 病就退了, 恶鬼也出去了.

19:13 But some itinerant Jewish exorcists also attempted to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches!”
那时, 有几个游行各处,念咒赶鬼的犹太人, 向那被恶鬼附的人擅自称主耶稣的名, 说: “我奉保罗所传的耶稣敕令你们出来! ”

19:14 (Now seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.)
做这事的, 有犹太祭司长士基瓦的七个儿子.

19:15 But the evil spirit answered and said to them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with, but who are you?”
恶鬼回答他们说: “耶稣我认识, 保罗我也知道. 你们却是谁呢? ”

19:16 And the man who had the evil spirit leaped on them, subdued all of them, and prevailed against them, so that they ran away from that house naked and wounded.
恶鬼所附的人就跳在他们身上, 胜了其中二人, 制伏他们, 叫他们赤著身子受了伤, 从那房子里逃出去了.

19:17 And this became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was exalted.
凡住在以弗所的, 无论是犹太人, 是希腊人, 都知道这事, 也都惧怕; 主耶稣的名从此就尊大了.

19:18 And many of those who had believed came, confessing and disclosing their practices,
那已经信的, 多有人来承认诉说自己所行的事.

19:19 and many of those who practiced magic brought together their books and burned them up in the sight of everyone. And they counted up their value and found it was fifty thousand silver coins.
平素行邪术的, 也有许多人把书拿来, 堆积在众人面前焚烧. 他们算计书价, 便知道共合五万块钱.

19:20 In this way the word of the Lord was growing in power and was prevailing.
主的道大大兴旺, 而且得胜, 就是这样.

19:21 Now when these things were completed, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, it is necessary for me to see Rome also.”
这些事完了, 保罗心里定意经过了马其顿,亚该亚, 就往耶路撒冷去; 又说: “我到了那里以后, 也必须往罗马去看看. ”

19:22 So after sending two of those who were assisting him, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, he himself stayed some time in Asia.
于是从帮助他的人中打发提摩太,以拉都二人往马其顿去, 自己暂时等在亚细亚.

19:23 Now there happened at that time no little disturbance concerning the Way.
那时, 因为这道起的扰乱不小.

19:24 For someone named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver replicas of the temple of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen.
有一个银匠, 名叫底米丢, 是制造亚底米神银龛的, 他使这样手艺人生意发达.

19:25 These he gathered together, and the workers occupied with such things, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we get our prosperity,
他聚集他们和同行的工人, 说: “众位, 你们知道我们是倚靠这生意发财.

19:26 and you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this man Paul has persuaded and turned away a large crowd by saying that the gods made by hands are not gods.
这保罗不但在以弗所, 也几乎在亚细亚全地, 引诱迷惑许多人, 说: ‘人手所做的, 不是神. ’这是你们所看见所听见的.

19:27 So not only is there a danger this line of business of ours will come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be regarded as nothing—and she is about to be brought down even from her grandeur, she whom the whole of Asia and the entire world worship!”
这样, 不独我们这事业被人藐视, 就是大女神亚底米的庙也要被人轻忽, 连亚细亚全地和普天下所敬拜的大女神之威荣也要消灭了. ”

19:28 And when they heard this and became full of rage, they began to shout, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
众人听见, 就怒气填胸, 喊著说: “大哉, 以弗所人的亚底米啊! ”

19:29 And the city was filled with the tumult, and with one purpose they rushed into the theater, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were traveling companions of Paul.
满城都轰动起来. 众人拿住与保罗同行的马其顿人该犹和亚里达古, 齐心拥进戏园里去.

19:30 But when Paul wanted to enter into the popular assembly, the disciples would not let him.
保罗想要进去, 到百姓那里, 门徒却不许他去.

19:31 And even some of the Asiarchs who were his friends sent word to him and were urging him not to risk himself by going into the theater.
还有亚细亚几位首领, 是保罗的朋友, 打发人来劝他, 不要冒险到戏园里去.

19:32 So some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the majority did not know why they had assembled.
聚集的人纷纷乱乱, 有喊叫这个的, 有喊叫那个的; 大半不知道是为甚么聚集.

19:33 And some of the crowd advised Alexander, when the Jews put him forward. But Alexander, motioning with his hand, was wanting to defend himself to the popular assembly.
有人把亚历山大从众人中带出来, 犹太人推他往前, 亚历山大就摆手, 要向百姓分诉;

19:34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they were shouting with one voice from all of them for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
只因他们认出他是犹太人, 就大家同声喊著说: “大哉! 以弗所人的亚底米啊. ”如此约有两小时.

19:35 And when the city secretary had quieted the crowd, he said, “Ephesian men, for who is there among men who does not know the Ephesian city is honorary temple keeper of the great Artemis and of her image fallen from heaven?
那城里的书记安抚了众人, 就说: “以弗所人哪, 谁不知道以弗所人的城是看守大亚底米的庙和从宙斯那里落下来的像呢?

19:36 Therefore because these things are undeniable, it is necessary that you be quiet and do nothing rash!
这事既是驳不倒的, 你们就当安静, 不可造次.

19:37 For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.
你们把这些人带来, 他们并没有偷窃庙中之物, 也没有谤讟我们的女神.

19:38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against anyone, the court days are observed and there are proconsuls—let them bring charges against one another!
若是底米丢和他同行的人有控告人的事, 自有放告的日子(或译: 自有公堂), 也有方伯可以彼此对告.

19:39 But if you desire anything further, it will be settled in the lawful assembly.
你们若问别的事, 就可以照常例聚集断定.

19:40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused of rioting concerning today, since there is no cause in relation to which we will be able to give an account concerning this disorderly gathering!” And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
今日的扰乱本是无缘无故, 我们难免被查问. 论到这样聚众, 我们也说不出所以然来. ”

19:41
说了这话, 便叫众人散去.

Acts - Chapter 20

20:1 Now after the turmoil had ceased, Paul summoned the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed to travel to Macedonia.
乱定之后, 保罗请门徒来, 劝勉他们, 就辞别起行, 往马其顿去.

20:2 And after he had gone through those regions and encouraged them at length, he came to Greece
走遍了那一带地方, 用许多话劝勉门徒(或译: 众人), 然后来到希腊.

20:3 and stayed three months. Because a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he came to a decision to return through Macedonia.
在那里住了三个月, 将要坐船往叙利亚去, 犹太人设计要害他, 他就定意从马其顿回去.

20:4 And Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, and Gaius from Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia, were accompanying him.
同他到亚细亚去的, 有庇哩亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特, 帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和西公都, 还有特庇人该犹, 并提摩太, 又有亚细亚人推基古和特罗非摩.

20:5 And these had gone on ahead and were waiting for us in Troas.
这些人先走, 在特罗亚等候我们.

20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.
过了除酵的日子, 我们从腓立比开船, 五天到了特罗亚, 和他们相会, 在那里住了七天.

20:7 And on the first day of the week, when we had assembled to break bread, Paul began conversing with them, because he was going to leave on the next day, and he extended his message until midnight.
七日的第一日, 我们聚会擘饼的时候, 保罗因为要次日起行, 就与他们讲论, 直讲到半夜.

20:8 Now there were quite a few lamps in the upstairs room where we were gathered.
我们聚会的那座楼上, 有好些灯烛.

20:9 And a certain young man named Eutychus who was sitting in the window was sinking into a deep sleep while Paul was conversing at length. Being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
有一个少年人, 名叫犹推古, 坐在窗台上, 困倦沉睡. 保罗讲了多时, 少年人睡熟了, 就从三层楼上掉下去; 扶起他来, 已经死了.

20:10 But Paul went down and threw himself on him, and putting his arms around him, said, “Do not be distressed, for his life is in him.”
保罗下去, 伏在他身上, 抱着他, 说: “你们不要发慌, 他的灵魂还在身上. ”

20:11 So he went up and broke bread, and when he had eaten and talked for a long time, until dawn, then he departed.
保罗又上去, 擘饼, 吃了, 谈论许久, 直到天亮, 这才走了.

20:12 And they led the youth away alive, and were greatly comforted.
有人把那童子活活地领来, 得的安慰不小.

20:13 But we went on ahead to the ship and put out to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. For having made arrangements in this way, he himself was intending to travel by land.
我们先上船, 开往亚朔去, 意思要在那里接保罗; 因为他是这样安排的, 他自己打算要步行.

20:14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.
他既在亚朔与我们相会, 我们就接他上船, 来到米推利尼.

20:15 And we sailed from there on the next day, and arrived opposite Chios. And on the next day we approached Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.
从那里开船, 次日到了基阿的对面; 又次日, 在撒摩靠岸; 又次日, 来到米利都.

20:16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not be having to spend time in Asia. For he was hurrying if it could be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
乃因保罗早已定意越过以弗所, 免得在亚细亚耽延, 他急忙前走, 巴不得赶五旬节能到耶路撒冷.

20:17 And from Miletus he sent word to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the church.
保罗从米利都打发人往以弗所去, 请教会的长老来.

20:18 And when they came to him, he said to them, “You know from the first day on which I set foot in Asia how I was the whole time with you—
他们来了, 保罗就说: “你们知道, 自从我到亚细亚的日子以来, 在你们中间始终为人如何,

20:19 serving the Lord with all humility and with tears, and with the trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews—
服事主, 凡事谦卑, 眼中流泪, 又因犹太人的谋害, 经历试炼.

20:20 how I did not shrink from proclaiming to you anything that would be profitable, and from teaching you in public and from house to house,
你们也知道, 凡与你们有益的, 我没有一样避讳不说的, 或在众人面前, 或在各人家里, 我都教导你们;

20:21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks with respect to repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.
又对犹太人和希腊人证明当向神悔改, 信靠我主耶稣基督.

20:22 “And now behold, bound by the Spirit I am traveling to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
现在我往耶路撒冷去, 心甚迫切(原文是心被捆绑), 不知道在那里要遇见甚么事;

20:23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in town after town, saying that bonds and persecutions await me.
但知道圣灵在各城里向我指证, 说有捆锁与患难等待我.

20:24 But I consider my life as worth nothing to myself, in order to finish my mission and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
我却不以性命为念, 也不看为宝贵, 只要行完我的路程, 成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事, 证明神恩惠的福音.

20:25 “And now behold, I know that all of you, among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom, will see my face no more.
“我素常在你们中间来往, 传讲神国的道; 如今我晓得, 你们以后都不得再见我的面了.

20:26 Therefore I testify to you on this very day that I am guiltless of the blood of all of you,
所以我今日向你们证明, 你们中间无论何人死亡, 罪不在我身上(原文是我于众人的血是洁净的).

20:27 for I did not shrink from proclaiming to you the whole purpose of God.
因为神的旨意, 我并没有一样避讳不传给你们的.

20:28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of God which he obtained through the blood of his own Son.
圣灵立你们作全群的监督, 你们就当为自己谨慎, 也为全群谨慎, 牧养神的教会, 就是他用自己血所买来的(或译: 救赎的).

20:29 I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
我知道, 我去之后必有凶暴的豺狼进入你们中间, 不爱惜羊群.

20:30 And from among you yourselves men will arise, speaking perversions of the truth in order to draw away the disciples after them.
就是你们中间, 也必有人起来说悖谬的话, 要引诱门徒跟从他们.

20:31 Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning each one of you with tears.
所以你们应当警醒, 记念我三年之久昼夜不住地流泪,劝戒你们各人.

20:32 “And now I entrust you to God and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
如今我把你们交托神和他恩惠的道; 这道能建立你们, 叫你们和一切成圣的人同得基业.

20:33 I have desired no one’s silver or gold or clothing!
我未曾贪图一个人的金,银,衣服.

20:34 You yourselves know that these hands served to meet my needs and the needs of those who were with me.
我这两只手常供给我和同人的需用, 这是你们自己知道的.

20:35 I have shown you with respect to all things that by working hard in this way it is necessary to help those who are in need, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
我凡事给你们作榜样, 叫你们知道应当这样劳苦, 扶助软弱的人, 又当记念主耶稣的话, 说: ‘施比受更为有福. ’”

20:36 And when he had said these things, he fell to his knees and prayed with them all.
保罗说完了这话, 就跪下同众人祷告.

20:37 And there was considerable weeping by all, and hugging Paul, they kissed him,
众人痛哭, 抱着保罗的颈项, 和他亲嘴.

20:38 especially distressed at the statement that he had said, that they were going to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
叫他们最伤心的, 就是他说“以后不能再见我的面”那句话, 于是送他上船去了.

Acts - Chapter 21

21:1 And it happened that after we tore ourselves away from them, we put out to sea, and running a straight course we came to Cos and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
我们离别了众人, 就开船一直行到哥士. 第二天到了罗底, 从那里到帕大喇,

21:2 And finding a ship that was crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and put out to sea.
遇见一只船要往腓尼基去, 就上船起行.

21:3 And after we sighted Cyprus and left it behind on the port side, we sailed to Syria and arrived at Tyre, because the ship was to unload its cargo there.
望见塞浦路斯, 就从南边行过, 往叙利亚去, 我们就在泰尔上岸, 因为船要在那里卸货.

21:4 And we stayed there seven days after we found the disciples, who kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem.
找著了门徒, 就在那里住了七天. 他们被圣灵感动, 对保罗说: “不要上耶路撒冷去. ”

21:5 And it happened that when our days were over, we departed and went on our way, while all of them accompanied us, together with their wives and children, as far as outside the city. And after falling to our knees on the beach and praying,
过了这几天, 我们就起身前行. 他们众人同妻子儿女, 送我们到城外, 我们都跪在岸上祷告, 彼此辞别.

21:6 we said farewell to one another and embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own homes.
我们上了船, 他们就回家去了.

21:7 And when we had completed the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. And after we greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them.
我们从泰尔行尽了水路, 来到多利买, 就问那里的弟兄安, 和他们同住了一天.

21:8 And on the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
第二天, 我们离开那里, 来到凯撒利亚, 就进了传福音的腓利家里, 和他同住. 他是那七个执事里的一个.

21:9 (Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.)
他有四个女儿, 都是处女, 是说预言的.

21:10 And while we were staying there many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
我们在那里多住了几天, 有一个先知, 名叫亚迦布, 从犹太下来,

21:11 And he came to us and took Paul’s belt. Tying up his own feet and hands, he said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”
到了我们这里, 就拿保罗的腰带捆上自己的手脚, 说: “圣灵说: 犹太人在耶路撒冷, 要如此捆绑这腰带的主人, 把他交在外邦人手里. ”

21:12 And when we heard these things, both we and the local residents urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
我们和那本地的人听见这话, 都苦劝保罗不要上耶路撒冷去.

21:13 Then Paul replied, “What are you doing weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus!”
保罗说: “你们为甚么这样痛哭, 使我心碎呢? 我为主耶稣的名, 不但被人捆绑, 就是死在耶路撒冷也是愿意的. ”

21:14 And because he would not be persuaded, we remained silent, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
保罗既不听劝, 我们便住了口, 只说: “愿主的旨意成就”, 便了.

21:15 So after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
过了几日, 我们收拾行李上耶路撒冷去.

21:16 And some of the disciples from Caesarea also traveled together with us, bringing us to a certain Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to be entertained as guests.
有凯撒利亚的几个门徒和我们同去, 带我们到一个久为(久为: 或译老)门徒的家里, 叫我们与他同住; 他名叫拿孙, 是塞浦路斯人.

21:17 And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly.
到了耶路撒冷, 弟兄们欢欢喜喜地接待我们.

21:18 And on the next day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
第二天, 保罗同我们去见雅各; 长老们也都在那里.

21:19 And after greeting them, he began to relate one after the other the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
保罗问了他们安, 便将神用他传教, 在外邦人中间所行之事, 一一地述说了.

21:20 And when they heard this, they began to glorify God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many ten thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous adherents of the law.
他们听见, 就归荣耀与神, 对保罗说: “兄台, 你看犹太人中信主的有多少万, 并且都为律法热心.

21:21 And they have been informed about you that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles the abandonment of Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or to live according to our customs.
他们听见人说, 你教训一切在外邦的犹太人离弃摩西, 对他们说, 不要给孩子行割礼, 也不要遵行条规.

21:22 What then is to be done? Doubtless they will all hear that you have come!
众人必听见你来了, 这可怎么办呢?

21:23 Therefore do this that we tell you: we have four men who have taken a vow upon themselves.
你就照着我们的话行吧! 我们这里有四个人, 都有愿在身.

21:24 Take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads, and everyone will know that the things which they had been informed about you are nothing, but you yourself also agree with observing the law.
你带他们去, 与他们一同行洁净的礼, 替他们拿出规费, 叫他们得以剃头. 这样, 众人就可知道, 先前所听见你的事都是虚的; 并可知道, 你自己为人, 循规蹈矩, 遵行律法.

21:25 But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have written a letter after deciding they should avoid food sacrificed to idols and blood and what has been strangled and sexual immorality.”
至于信主的外邦人, 我们已经写信拟定, 叫他们谨忌那祭偶像之物, 和血, 并勒死的牲畜, 与奸淫. ”

21:26 Then Paul took along the men on the next day, and after he had purified himself together with them, he entered into the temple courts, announcing the completion of the days of purification until the time the offering would be presented on behalf of each one of them.
于是保罗带着那四个人, 第二天与他们一同行了洁净的礼, 进了殿, 报明洁净的日期满足, 只等祭司为他们各人献祭.

21:27 But when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia who had seen him in the temple courts stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
那七日将完, 从亚细亚来的犹太人看见保罗在殿里, 就耸动了众人, 下手拿他,

21:28 shouting, “Israelite men, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place! And furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”
喊叫说: “以色列人来帮助, 这就是在各处教训众人糟践我们百姓和律法, 并这地方的. 他又带着希腊人进殿, 污秽了这圣地. ”

21:29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.)
(这话是因他们曾看见以弗所人特罗非摩同保罗在城里, 以为保罗带他进了殿. )

21:30 And the whole city was stirred up, and the people came running together, and they seized Paul and dragged him outside of the temple courts, and immediately the doors were shut.
合城都震动, 百姓一齐跑来, 拿住保罗, 拉他出殿, 殿门立刻都关了.

21:31 And as they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the military tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
他们正想要杀他, 有人报信给营里的千夫长说: “耶路撒冷合城都乱了. ”

21:32 He immediately took along soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the military tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
千夫长立时带着兵丁和几个百夫长, 跑下去到他们那里. 他们见了千夫长和兵丁, 就止住不打保罗.

21:33 Then the military tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what it was that he had done.
于是千夫长上前拿住他, 吩咐用两条铁链捆锁; 又问他是甚么人, 做的是甚么事.

21:34 But some in the crowd were shouting one thing and others another, and because he was not able to find out the truth on account of the commotion, he gave orders to bring him into the barracks.
众人有喊叫这个的, 有喊叫那个的; 千夫长因为这样乱嚷, 得不著实情, 就吩咐人将保罗带进营楼去.

21:35 And when he came to the steps, it happened that he had to be carried by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd,
到了台阶上, 众人挤得凶猛, 兵丁只得将保罗抬起来.

21:36 for the crowd of people was following them, shouting, “Away with him!”
众人跟在后面, 喊著说: “除掉他! ”

21:37 And as he was about to be brought into the barracks, Paul said to the military tribune, “Is it permitted for me to say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
将要带他进营楼, 保罗对千夫长说: “我对你说句话可以不可以? ”他说: “你懂得希腊话吗?

21:38 Then you are not the Egyptian who before these days raised a revolt and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
你莫非是从前作乱,带领四千凶徒往旷野去的那埃及人吗? ”

21:39 But Paul said, “I am a Jewish man from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no unimportant city. Now I ask you, allow me to speak to the people.”
保罗说: “我本是犹太人, 生在基利家的大数, 并不是无名小城的人. 求你准我对百姓说话. ”

21:40 So when he permitted him, Paul, standing there on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Aramaic language, saying,
千夫长准了. 保罗就站在台阶上, 向百姓摆手, 他们都静默无声, 保罗便用希伯来话对他们说:

Acts - Chapter 22

22:1 “Men—brothers and fathers—listen to my defense to you now!”
“诸位父兄请听, 我现在对你们分诉. ”

22:2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Aramaic language, they became even more silent. And he said,
众人听他说的是希伯来话, 就更加安静了.

22:3 “I am a Jewish man born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the exactness of the law received from our fathers, being zealous for God, just as all of you are today.
保罗说: “我原是犹太人, 生在基利家的大数, 长在这城里, 在迦玛列门下, 按著我们祖宗严紧的律法受教, 热心事奉神, 像你们众人今日一样.

22:4 I persecuted this Way to the death, tying up and delivering to prison both men and women,
我也曾逼迫奉这道的人, 直到死地, 无论男女都锁拿下监.

22:5 as indeed the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify about me, from whom also I received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and was traveling there to lead away those who were there also tied up to Jerusalem so that they could be punished.
这是大祭司和众长老都可以给我作见证的. 我又领了他们达与弟兄的书信, 往大马士革去, 要把在那里奉这道的人锁拿, 带到耶路撒冷受刑. ”

22:6 “And it happened that as I was traveling and approaching Damascus around noon, suddenly a very bright light from heaven flashed around me,
“我将到大马士革, 正走的时候, 约在晌午, 忽然从天上发大光, 四面照著我.

22:7 and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
我就仆倒在地, 听见有声音对我说: ‘扫罗! 扫罗! 你为甚么逼迫我? ’

22:8 And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene whom you are persecuting.’
我回答说: ‘主啊, 你是谁? ’他说: ‘我就是你所逼迫的拿撒勒人耶稣. ’

22:9 (Now those who were with me saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.)
与我同行的人看见了那光, 却没有听明那位对我说话的声音.

22:10 So I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and proceed to Damascus, and there it will be told to you about all the things that have been appointed for you to do.’
我说: ‘主啊, 我当做甚么? ’主说: ‘起来, 进大马士革去, 在那里, 要将所派你做的一切事告诉你. ’

22:11 And as I could not see as a result of the brightness of that light, I arrived in Damascus led by the hand of those who were with me.
我因那光的荣耀不能看见, 同行的人就拉着我手进了大马士革.

22:12 And a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who live there,
那里有一个人, 名叫亚拿尼亚, 按著律法是虔诚人, 为一切住在那里的犹太人所称赞.

22:13 came to me and stood by me and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, regain your sight!’ And at that same time I looked up at him and saw him.
他来见我, 站在旁边, 对我说: ‘兄弟扫罗, 你可以看见. ’我当时往上一看, 就看见了他.

22:14 And he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth,
他又说: ‘我们祖宗的神拣选了你, 叫你明白他的旨意, 又得见那义者, 听他口中所出的声音.

22:15 because you will be a witness for him to all people of what you have seen and heard.
因为你要将所看见的, 所听见的, 对着万人为他作见证.

22:16 And now why are you delaying? Get up, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name!’
现在你为甚么耽延呢? 起来, 求告他的名受洗, 洗去你的罪. ’”

22:17 “And it happened that when I returned to Jerusalem and I was praying in the temple courts, I was in a trance,
“后来, 我回到耶路撒冷, 在殿里祷告的时候, 魂游象外,

22:18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and depart quickly from Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’
看见主向我说: ‘你赶紧地离开耶路撒冷, 不可迟延; 因你为我作的见证, 这里的人必不领受. ’

22:19 And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that from synagogue to synagogue I was imprisoning and beating those who believed in you.
我就说: ‘主啊, 他们知道我从前把信你的人收在监里, 又在各会堂里鞭打他们.

22:20 And when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I myself also was standing near and was approving, and was guarding the cloaks of those who were killing him.’
并且你的见证人司提反被害流血的时候, 我也站在旁边欢喜; 又看守害死他之人的衣裳. ’

22:21 And he said to me, ‘Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles!’ ”
主向我说: ‘你去吧! 我要差你远远地往外邦人那里去. ’”

22:22 Now they were listening to him until this word, and they raised their voices, saying, “Away with such a man from the earth! For it is not fitting for him to live!”
众人听他说到这句话, 就高声说: “这样的人, 从世上除掉他吧! 他是不当活着的. ”

22:23 And while they were screaming and throwing off their cloaks and throwing dust into the air,
众人喧嚷, 摔掉衣裳, 把尘土向空中扬起来.

22:24 the military tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying he was to be examined with a lash so that he could find out for what reason they were crying out against him in this way.
千夫长就吩咐将保罗带进营楼去, 叫人用鞭子拷问他, 要知道他们向他这样喧嚷是为甚么缘故.

22:25 But when they had stretched him out for the lash, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it permitted for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?”
刚用皮条捆上, 保罗对旁边站着的百夫长说: “人是罗马人, 又没有定罪, 你们就鞭打他, 有这个例吗? ”

22:26 And when the centurion heard this, he went to the military tribune and reported it, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen!”
百夫长听见这话, 就去见千夫长, 告诉他说: “你要做甚么? 这人是罗马人. ”

22:27 So the military tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” And he said, “Yes.”
千夫长就来问保罗说: “你告诉我, 你是罗马人吗? ”保罗说: “是. ”

22:28 And the military tribune replied, “I acquired this citizenship for a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I indeed was born a citizen.
千夫长说: “我用许多银子才入了罗马的民籍. ”保罗说: “我生来就是. ”

22:29 Then immediately those who were about to examine him kept away from him, and the military tribune also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman citizen and that he had tied him up.
于是那些要拷问保罗的人就离开他去了. 千夫长既知道他是罗马人, 又因为捆绑了他, 也害怕了.

22:30 But on the next day, because he wanted to know the true reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul and had him stand before them.
第二天, 千夫长为要知道犹太人控告保罗的实情, 便解开他, 吩咐祭司长和全公会的人都聚集, 将保罗带下来, 叫他站在他们面前.

Acts - Chapter 23

23:1 And looking intently at the Sanhedrin, Paul said, “Men and brothers, I have lived my life in all good conscience before God to this day.”
保罗定睛看着公会的人, 说: “弟兄们, 我在神面前行事为人都是凭著良心, 直到今日. ”

23:2 So the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near him to strike his mouth.
大祭司亚拿尼亚就吩咐旁边站着的人打他的嘴.

23:3 Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! And are you sitting there judging me according to the law, and acting contrary to the law do you order me to be struck?”
保罗对他说: “你这粉饰的墙, 神要打你! 你坐堂为的是按律法审问我, 你竟违背律法, 吩咐人打我吗? ”

23:4 And those who stood nearby said, “Are you reviling the high priest of God?”
站在旁边的人说: “你辱骂神的大祭司吗? ”

23:5 And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’ ”
保罗说: “弟兄们, 我不晓得他是大祭司; 经上记着说: ‘不可毁谤你百姓的官长. ’”

23:6 Now when Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, “Men and brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!”
保罗看出大众一半是撒都该人, 一半是法利赛人, 就在公会中大声说: “弟兄们, 我是法利赛人, 也是法利赛人的子孙. 我现在受审问, 是为盼望死人复活. ”

23:7 And when he said this, a dispute developed between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
说了这话, 法利赛人和撒都该人就争论起来, 会众分为两党.

23:8 (For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angel or spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)
因为撒都该人说, 没有复活, 也没有天使和鬼魂; 法利赛人却说, 两样都有.

23:9 And there was loud shouting, and some of the scribes from the party of the Pharisees stood up and contended sharply, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man! But what if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
于是大大地喧嚷起来. 有几个法利赛党的文士站起来争辩说: “我们看不出这人有甚么恶处, 倘若有鬼魂或是天使对他说过话, 怎么样呢? ”

23:10 And when the dispute became severe, the military tribune, fearing lest Paul be torn apart by them, ordered the detachment to go down, take him away from their midst, and bring him into the barracks.
那时大起争吵, 千夫长恐怕保罗被他们扯碎了, 就吩咐兵丁下去, 把他从众人当中抢出来, 带进营楼去.

23:11 And the next night the Lord stood by him and said, “Have courage, for as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
当夜, 主站在保罗旁边, 说: “放心吧! 你怎样在耶路撒冷为我作见证, 也必怎样在罗马为我作见证. ”

23:12 And when it was day, the Jews made a conspiracy and bound themselves under a curse, saying they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
到了天亮, 犹太人同谋起誓, 说: “若不先杀保罗就不吃不喝. ”

23:13 Now there were more than forty who had made this conspiracy,
这样同心起誓的有四十多人.

23:14 who went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under a curse to partake of nothing until we have killed Paul.
他们来见祭司长和长老, 说: “我们已经起了一个大誓, 若不先杀保罗就不吃甚么.

23:15 Therefore, now you along with the Sanhedrin explain to the military tribune that he should bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine more accurately the things concerning him. And we are ready to do away with him before he comes near.”
现在你们和公会要知会千夫长, 叫他带下保罗到你们这里来, 假作要详细察考他的事; 我们已经预备好了, 不等他来到跟前就杀他. ”

23:16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, he came and entered into the barracks and reported it to Paul.
保罗的外甥听见他们设下埋伏, 就来到营楼里告诉保罗.

23:17 So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the military tribune, because he has something to report to him.”
保罗请一个百夫长来, 说: “你领这少年人去见千夫长, 他有事告诉他. ”

23:18 So he took him and brought him to the military tribune and said, “The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
于是把他领去见千夫长, 说: “被囚的保罗请我到他那里, 求我领这少年人来见你; 他有事告诉你. ”

23:19 And the military tribune, taking hold of his hand and withdrawing privately, asked, “What is it that you have to report to me?”
千夫长就拉着他的手, 走到一旁, 私下问他说: “你有甚么事告诉我呢? ”

23:20 And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you that you bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as if they were going to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
他说: “犹太人已经约定, 要求你明天带下保罗到公会里去, 假作要详细查问他的事.

23:21 You therefore do not be persuaded by them, because more than forty men of their number are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have done away with him. And now they are ready, waiting for you to agree.”
你切不要随从他们; 因为他们有四十多人埋伏, 已经起誓说: 若不先杀保罗就不吃不喝. 现在预备好了, 只等你应允. ”

23:22 So the military tribune sent the young man away, directing him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
于是千夫长打发少年人走, 嘱咐他说: “不要告诉人你将这事报给我了. ”

23:23 And he summoned two of the centurions and said, “Make ready from the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, in order that they may proceed as far as Caesarea.
千夫长便叫了两个百夫长来, 说: “预备步兵二百, 马兵七十, 长枪手二百, 今夜亥初往凯撒利亚去;

23:24 And provide mounts so that they can put Paul on them and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”
也要预备牲口叫保罗骑上, 护送到巡抚腓力斯那里去. ”

23:25 He wrote a letter that had this form:
千夫长又写了文书,

23:26 Claudius Lysias. To his excellency Governor Felix. Greetings!
大略说: “克劳第•吕西亚, 请巡抚腓力斯大人安.

23:27 This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the detachment and rescued him, because I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
这人被犹太人拿住, 将要杀害, 我得知他是罗马人, 就带兵丁下去救他出来.

23:28 And because I wanted to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
因要知道他们告他的缘故, 我就带他下到他们的公会去,

23:29 I found he was accused concerning controversial questions of their law, but having no charge deserving death or imprisonment.
便查知他被告是因他们律法的辩论, 并没有甚么该死该绑的罪名.

23:30 And when it was made known to me there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, also ordering his accusers to speak against him before you.
后来有人把要害他的计谋告诉我, 我就立时解他到你那里去, 又吩咐告他的人在你面前告他. (有古卷加: 愿你平安! )”

23:31 Therefore the soldiers, in accordance with their orders, took Paul and brought him to Antipatris during the night.
于是, 兵丁照所吩咐他们的, 将保罗夜里带到安提帕底.

23:32 And on the next day they let the horsemen go on with him, and they returned to the barracks.
第二天, 让马兵护送, 他们就回营楼去.

23:33 The horsemen, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
马兵来到凯撒利亚, 把文书呈给巡抚, 便叫保罗站在他面前.

23:34 So after reading the letter and asking what province he was from, and learning that he was from Cilicia,
巡抚看了文书, 问保罗是哪省的人, 既晓得他是基利家人,

23:35 he said, “I will give you a hearing whenever your accusers arrive also,” giving orders for him to be guarded in the praetorium of Herod.
就说: “等告你的人来到, 我要细听你的事”; 便吩咐人把他看守在希律的衙门里.

Acts - Chapter 24

24:1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney, a certain Tertullus, all of whom brought charges against Paul to the governor.
过了五天, 大祭司亚拿尼亚同几个长老, 和一个辩士帖土罗下来, 向巡抚控告保罗.

24:2 And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “We have experienced much peace through you, and reforms are taking place in this nation through your foresight.
保罗被提了来, 帖土罗就告他说:

24:3 Both in every way and everywhere we acknowledge this, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
“腓力斯大人, 我们因你得以大享太平, 并且这一国的弊病, 因着你的先见得以更正了; 我们随时随地满心感谢不尽.

24:4 But so that I may not impose on you for longer, I implore you to hear us briefly with your customary graciousness.
惟恐多说, 你嫌烦絮, 只求你宽容听我们说几句话.

24:5 For we have found this man to be a public menace and one who causes riots among all the Jews throughout the Roman Empire and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
我们看这个人, 如同瘟疫一般, 是鼓动普天下众犹太人生乱的, 又是拿撒勒教党里的一个头目,

24:6 who even attempted to desecrate the temple, and we arrested him.
连圣殿他也想要污秽; 我们把他捉住了. (有古卷加: 要按我们的律法审问,

24:7
不料千夫长吕西亚前来, 甚是强横, 从我们手中把他夺去, 吩咐告他的人到你这里来. )

24:8 When you yourself examine him you will be able to find out from him about all these things of which we are accusing him.”
你自己究问他, 就可以知道我们告他的一切事了. ”

24:9 And the Jews also joined in the attack, asserting these things were so.
众犹太人也随着告他说: “事情诚然是这样. ”

24:10 And when the governor gestured for him to speak, Paul replied, “Because I know you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I defend myself cheerfully with respect to the things concerning myself.
巡抚点头叫保罗说话. 他就说: “我知道你在这国里断事多年, 所以我乐意为自己分诉.

24:11 You can ascertain that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
你查问就可以知道, 从我上耶路撒冷礼拜到今日不过有十二天.

24:12 And neither did they find me arguing with anyone or making a crowd develop in the temple courts nor in the synagogues nor throughout the city.
他们并没有看见我在殿里, 或是在会堂里, 或是在城里, 和人辩论, 耸动众人.

24:13 Nor can they prove the things to you concerning which they are now accusing me.
他们现在所告我的事并不能对你证实了.

24:14 But I do confess this to you, that according to the Way (which they call a sect), so I worship the God of our fathers, believing all things that are in accordance with the law and that are written in the prophets,
但有一件事, 我向你承认, 就是他们所称为异端的道, 我正按著那道事奉我祖宗的神, 又信合乎律法的和先知书上一切所记载的,

24:15 having a hope in God which these men also themselves await: that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
并且靠着神, 盼望死人, 无论善恶, 都要复活, 就是他们自己也有这个盼望.

24:16 For this reason also I myself always do my best to have a clear conscience toward God and people.
我因此自己勉励, 对神对人, 常存无亏的良心.

24:17 So after many years, I came to practice charitable giving and offerings to my people,
过了几年, 我带着赒济本国的捐项和供献的物上去.

24:18 in which they found me purified in the temple courts, not with a crowd or with a disturbance.
正献的时候, 他们看见我在殿里已经洁净了, 并没有聚众, 也没有吵嚷, 惟有几个从亚细亚来的犹太人.

24:19 But there are some Jews from Asia who ought to be present before you and bring charges against me, if they have anything against me,
他们若有告我的事, 就应当到你面前来告我.

24:20 or these men themselves should say what crime they found when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
即或不然, 这些人若看出我站在公会前, 有妄为的地方, 他们自己也可以说明.

24:21 other than concerning this one declaration that I shouted while standing there before them: ‘I am being judged before you today concerning the resurrection of the dead!’ ”
纵然有, 也不过一句话, 就是我站在他们中间大声说: ‘我今日在你们面前受审, 是为死人复活的道理. ’”

24:22 But Felix, because he understood the facts concerning the Way more accurately, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the military tribune comes down, I will decide your case.”
腓力斯本是详细晓得这道, 就支吾他们说: “且等千夫长吕西亚下来, 我要审断你们的事. ”

24:23 He ordered the centurion for him to be guarded and to have some freedom, and in no way to prevent any of his own people from serving him.
于是吩咐百夫长看守保罗, 并且宽待他, 也不拦阻他的亲友来供给他.

24:24 And after some days, when Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him concerning faith in Christ Jesus.
过了几天, 腓力斯和他夫人─犹太的女子土西拉─一同来到, 就叫了保罗来, 听他讲论信基督耶稣的道.

24:25 And while he was discussing about righteousness and self control and the judgment that is to come, Felix became afraid and replied, “Go away for the present, and when I have an opportunity, I will summon you.”
保罗讲论公义,节制, 和将来的审判. 腓力斯甚觉恐惧, 说: “你暂且去吧, 等我得便再叫你来. ”

24:26 At the same time he was also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul. For this reason also he sent for him as often as possible and talked with him.
腓力斯又指望保罗送他银钱, 所以屡次叫他来, 和他谈论.

24:27 And when two years had passed, Felix received as successor Porcius Festus. And because he wanted to do a favor for the Jews, Felix left Paul behind as a prisoner.
过了两年, 波求•非斯都接了腓力斯的任; 腓力斯要讨犹太人的喜欢, 就留保罗在监里.

Acts - Chapter 25

25:1 Now when Festus set foot in the province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
非斯都到了任, 过了三天, 就从凯撒利亚上耶路撒冷去.

25:2 And the chief priests and the most prominent men of the Jews brought charges against Paul to him, and were urging him,
祭司长和犹太人的首领向他控告保罗,

25:3 asking for a favor against him, that he summon him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to do away with him along the way.
又央告他, 求他的情, 将保罗提到耶路撒冷来, 他们要在路上埋伏杀害他.

25:4 Then Festus replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, and he himself was about to go there in a short time.
非斯都却回答说: “保罗押在凯撒利亚, 我自己快要往那里去”;

25:5 So he said, “Let those among you who are prominent go down with me, and if there is any wrong in the man, let them bring charges against him.”
又说: “你们中间有权势的人与我一同下去, 那人若有甚么不是, 就可以告他. ”

25:6 And after he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. On the next day he sat down on the judgment seat and gave orders for Paul to be brought.
非斯都在他们那里住了不过十天八天, 就下凯撒利亚去; 第二天坐堂, 吩咐将保罗提上来.

25:7 And when he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges that they were not able to prove,
保罗来了, 那些从耶路撒冷下来的犹太人周围站着, 将许多重大的事控告他, 都是不能证实的.

25:8 while Paul said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews nor against the temple nor against Caesar have I sinned with reference to anything!”
保罗分诉说: “无论犹太人的律法, 或是圣殿, 或是凯撒, 我都没有干犯. ”

25:9 But Festus, because he wanted to do a favor for the Jews, answered and said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to be tried before me there concerning these things?”
但非斯都要讨犹太人的喜欢, 就问保罗说: “你愿意上耶路撒冷去, 在那里听我审断这事吗? ”

25:10 But Paul said, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where it is necessary for me to be judged. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
保罗说: “我站在凯撒的堂前, 这就是我应当受审的地方. 我向犹太人并没有行过甚么不义的事, 这也是你明明知道的.

25:11 If then I am doing wrong and have done anything deserving death, I am not trying to avoid dying. But if there is nothing true of the things which these people are accusing me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
我若行了不义的事, 犯了甚么该死的罪, 就是死, 我也不辞. 他们所告我的事若都不实, 就没有人可以把我交给他们. 我要上告于凯撒. ”

25:12 Then Festus, after discussing this with his council, replied, “You have appealed to Caesar—to Caesar you will go!”
非斯都和议会商量了, 就说: “你既上告于凯撒, 可以往凯撒那里去. ”

25:13 Now after some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to welcome Festus.
过了些日子, 亚基帕王和百妮基氏来到凯撒利亚, 问非斯都安.

25:14 And while they were staying there many days, Festus laid out the case against Paul to the king, saying, “There is a certain man left behind by Felix as a prisoner,
在那里住了多日, 非斯都将保罗的事告诉王, 说: “这里有一个人, 是腓力斯留在监里的.

25:15 concerning whom when I was in Jerusalem the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented evidence, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.
我在耶路撒冷的时候, 祭司长和犹太的长老将他的事禀报了我, 求我定他的罪.

25:16 To them I replied that it was not the custom of the Romans to give up any man before the one who had been accused met his accusers face to face and received an opportunity for a defense concerning the accusation.
我对他们说, 无论甚么人, 被告还没有和原告对质, 未得机会分诉所告他的事, 就先定他的罪, 这不是罗马人的条例.

25:17 Therefore, when they had assembled here, I made no delay; on the next day I sat down on the judgment seat and gave orders for the man to be brought.
及至他们都来到这里, 我就不耽延, 第二天便坐堂, 吩咐把那人提上来.

25:18 When they stood up, his accusers began bringing no charge concerning him of the evil deeds that I was suspecting,
告他的人站着告他; 所告的, 并没有我所逆料的那等恶事.

25:19 but they had some issues with him concerning their own religion, and concerning a certain Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul claimed to be alive.
不过是有几样辩论, 为他们自己敬鬼神的事, 又为一个人名叫耶稣, 是已经死了, 保罗却说他是活着的.

25:20 And because I was at a loss with regard to the investigation concerning these things, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and to be judged there concerning these things.
这些事当怎样究问, 我心里作难, 所以问他说: ‘你愿意上耶路撒冷去, 在那里为这些事听审吗? ’

25:21 But when Paul appealed that he be kept under guard for the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, I gave orders for him to be kept under guard until I could send him to Caesar.”
但保罗求我留下他, 要听皇上审断, 我就吩咐把他留下, 等我解他到凯撒那里去. ”

25:22 So Agrippa said to Festus, “I want to hear the man myself also.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you will hear him.”
亚基帕对非斯都说: “我自己也愿听这人辩论. ”非斯都说: “明天你可以听. ”

25:23 So on the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came with great pageantry and entered into the audience hall, along with military tribunes and the most prominent men of the city. And when Festus gave the order, Paul was brought in.
第二天, 亚基帕和百妮基大张威势而来, 同著众千夫长和城里的尊贵人进了公厅. 非斯都吩咐一声, 就有人将保罗带进来.

25:24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole population of the Jews appealed to me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he must not live any longer.
非斯都说: “亚基帕王和在这里的诸位啊, 你们看这人, 就是一切犹太人, 在耶路撒冷和这里, 曾向我恳求,呼叫说: ‘不可容他再活着. ’

25:25 But I understood that he had done nothing deserving death himself, and when this man appealed to His Majesty the Emperor, I decided to send him.
但我查明他没有犯甚么该死的罪, 并且他自己上告于皇帝, 所以我定意把他解去.

25:26 I do not have anything definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all—and especially before you, King Agrippa—so that after this preliminary hearing has taken place, I may have something to write.
论到这人, 我没有确实的事可以奏明主上. 因此, 我带他到你们面前, 也特意带他到你亚基帕王面前, 为要在查问之后有所陈奏.

25:27 For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner and not to indicate the charges against him.”
据我看来, 解送囚犯, 不指明他的罪案是不合理的. ”

Acts - Chapter 26

26:1 So Agrippa said to Paul, “It is permitted for you to speak for yourself.” Then Paul extended his hand and began to defend himself:
亚基帕对保罗说: “准你为自己辩明. ”于是保罗伸手分诉, 说:

26:2 “Concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate that before you I am about to defend myself today,
“亚基帕王啊, 犹太人所告我的一切事, 今日得在你面前分诉, 实为万幸;

26:3 because you are especially acquainted with both all the customs and controversial questions with respect to the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me with patience.
更可幸的, 是你熟悉犹太人的规矩和他们的辩论; 所以求你耐心听我.

26:4 “Now all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth, that had taken place from the beginning among my own people and in Jerusalem,
我从起初在本国的民中, 并在耶路撒冷, 自幼为人如何, 犹太人都知道.

26:5 having known me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that in accordance with the strictest party of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.
他们若肯作见证就晓得, 我从起初是按著我们教中最严紧的教门作了法利赛人.

26:6 And now I stand here on trial on the basis of hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,
现在我站在这里受审, 是因为指望神向我们祖宗所应许的;

26:7 to which our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve him night and day. Concerning this hope I am being accused by the Jews, O king!
这应许, 我们十二个支派, 昼夜切切地事奉神, 都指望得着. 王啊, 我被犹太人控告, 就是因这指望.

26:8 Why is it thought incredible by you people that God raises the dead?
神叫死人复活, 你们为甚么看作不可信的呢?

26:9 Indeed, I myself thought it was necessary to do many things opposed to the name of Jesus the Nazarene,
从前我自己以为应当多方攻击拿撒勒人耶稣的名,

26:10 which I also did in Jerusalem, and not only did I lock up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests, but also when they were being executed, I cast my vote against them.
我在耶路撒冷也曾这样行了. 既从祭司长得了权柄, 我就把许多圣徒囚在监里. 他们被杀, 我也出名定案.

26:11 And throughout all the synagogues I punished them often and tried to force them to blaspheme, and because I was enraged at them beyond measure, I was pursuing them even as far as to foreign cities.
在各会堂, 我屡次用刑强逼他们说亵渎的话, 又分外恼恨他们, 甚至追逼他们, 直到外邦的城邑. ”

26:12 In this activity I was traveling to Damascus with the authority and full power of the chief priests.
“那时, 我领了祭司长的权柄和命令, 往大马士革去.

26:13 In the middle of the day along the road, O king, I saw a light from heaven, more than the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those who were traveling with me.
王啊, 我在路上, 晌午的时候, 看见从天发光, 比日头还亮, 四面照着我并与我同行的人.

26:14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Aramaic language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads!’
我们都仆倒在地, 我就听见有声音用希伯来话向我说: ‘扫罗! 扫罗! 为甚么逼迫我? 你用脚踢刺是难的! ’

26:15 So I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
我说: ‘主啊, 你是谁? ’主说: ‘我就是你所逼迫的耶稣.

26:16 But get up and stand on your feet, because for this reason I have appeared to you, to appoint you a servant and witness both to the things in which you saw me and to the things in which I will appear to you,
你起来站着, 我特意向你显现, 要派你作执事, 作见证, 将你所看见的事和我将要指示你的事证明出来.

26:17 rescuing you from the people and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you,
我也要救你脱离百姓和外邦人的手.

26:18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
我差你到他们那里去, 要叫他们的眼睛得开, 从黑暗中归向光明, 从撒但权下归向神; 又因信我, 得蒙赦罪, 和一切成圣的人同得基业. ’”

26:19 “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
“亚基帕王啊, 我故此没有违背那从天上来的异象;

26:20 but to those in Damascus first, and in Jerusalem and all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing deeds worthy of repentance.
先在大马士革, 后在耶路撒冷和犹太全地, 以及外邦, 劝勉他们应当悔改归向神, 行事与悔改的心相称.

26:21 On account of these things the Jews seized me in the temple courts and were attempting to kill me.
因此, 犹太人在殿里拿住我, 想要杀我.

26:22 Therefore I have experienced help from God until this day, and I stand here testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what both the prophets and Moses have said were going to happen,
然而我蒙神的帮助, 直到今日还站得住, 对着尊贵,卑贱,老幼作见证; 所讲的并不外乎众先知和摩西所说将来必成的事,

26:23 that the Christ was to suffer and that as the first of the resurrection from the dead, he was going to proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.”
就是基督必须受害, 并且因从死里复活, 要首先把光明的道传给百姓和外邦人. ”

26:24 And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “You are out of your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
保罗这样分诉, 非斯都大声说: “保罗, 你癫狂了吧. 你的学问太大, 反叫你癫狂了! ”

26:25 But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but am speaking words of truth and rationality.
保罗说: “非斯都大人, 我不是癫狂, 我说的乃是真实明白话.

26:26 For the king knows about these things, to whom also I am speaking freely, for I am not convinced that these things in any way have escaped his notice, because this was not done in a corner.
王也晓得这些事, 所以我向王放胆直言, 我深信这些事没有一件向王隐藏的, 因都不是在背地里做的.

26:27 Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe.”
亚基帕王啊, 你信先知吗? 我知道你是信的. ”

26:28 But Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?”
亚基帕对保罗说: “你想少微一劝, 便叫我作基督徒啊(或译: 你这样劝我, 几乎叫我作基督徒了)! ”

26:29 And Paul replied, “I pray to God, whether in a short time or in a long time, not only you but also all those who are listening to me today may become such people as I also am, except for these bonds!”
保罗说: “无论是少劝是多劝, 我向神所求的, 不但你一个人, 就是今天一切听我的, 都要像我一样, 只是不要像我有这些锁链. ”

26:30 Both the king and the governor got up, and Bernice and those who were sitting with them.
于是, 王和巡抚并百妮基与同坐的人都起来,

26:31 And as they were going out, they were talking to one another, saying, “This man is not doing anything deserving death or imprisonment.”
退到里面, 彼此谈论说: “这人并没有犯甚么该死该绑的罪. ”

26:32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
亚基帕又对非斯都说: “这人若没有上告于凯撒, 就可以释放了. ”

Acts - Chapter 27

27:1 And when it was decided that we would sail away to Italy, they handed over Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the Augustan Cohort.
非斯都既然定规了, 叫我们坐船往意大利去, 便将保罗和别的囚犯交给御营里的一个百夫长, 名叫犹流.

27:2 And we went aboard a ship from Adramyttium that was about to sail to the places along the coast of Asia and put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
有一只亚大米田的船, 要沿着亚细亚一带地方的海边走, 我们就上了那船开行; 有马其顿的帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和我们同去.

27:3 And on the next day, we put in at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed him to go to his friends to be cared for.
第二天, 到了西顿; 犹流宽待保罗, 准他往朋友那里去, 受他们的照应.

27:4 And from there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
从那里又开船, 因为风不顺, 就贴著塞浦路斯背风岸行去.

27:5 And after we had sailed across the open sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we put in at Myra in Lycia.
过了基利家,旁非利亚前面的海, 就到了吕家的每拉.

27:6 And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board it.
在那里, 百夫长遇见一只亚历山大的船, 要往意大利去, 便叫我们上了那船.

27:7 And sailing slowly, in many days and with difficulty we came to Cnidus. Because the wind did not permit us to go further, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
一连多日, 船行得慢, 仅仅来到革尼土的对面. 因为被风拦阻, 就贴著克里特背风岸, 从撒摩尼对面行过.

27:8 And sailing along its coast with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.
我们沿岸行走, 仅仅来到一个地方, 名叫佳澳; 离那里不远, 有拉西亚城.

27:9 And because considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast was already over, Paul strongly recommended,
走的日子多了, 已经过了禁食的节期, 行船又危险, 保罗就劝众人说:

27:10 saying to them, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to end with disaster and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives!”
“众位, 我看这次行船, 不但货物和船要受伤损, 大遭破坏, 连我们的性命也难保. ”

27:11 But the centurion was convinced even more by the shipmaster and the shipowner than by what was said by Paul.
但百夫长信从掌船的和船主, 不信从保罗所说的.

27:12 And because the harbor was unsuitable for spending the winter in, the majority decided on a plan to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could arrive at Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing toward the southwest and toward the northwest, to spend the winter there.
且因在这海口过冬不便, 船上的人就多半说, 不如开船离开这地方, 或者能到菲尼基过冬. 菲尼基是克里特的一个海口, 一面朝东北, 一面朝东南.

27:13 And when a southwest wind began to blow gently, because they thought they could accomplish their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close along Crete.
这时, 微微起了南风, 他们以为得意, 就起了锚, 贴近克里特行去.

27:14 But not long afterward a wind like a hurricane, called the northeaster, rushed down from it.
不多几时, 狂风从岛上扑下来; 那风名叫“友拉革罗”.

27:15 And when the ship was caught and was not able to head into the wind, we gave way and were driven along.
船被风抓住, 敌不住风, 我们就任风刮去.

27:16 And running under the lee of a certain small island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat under control.
贴著一个小岛的背风岸奔行, 那岛名叫高大, 在那里仅仅收住了小船.

27:17 After hoisting it up, they made use of supports to undergird the ship. And because they were afraid lest they run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and thus were driven along.
既然把小船拉上来, 就用缆索捆绑船底, 又恐怕在赛耳底沙滩上搁了浅, 就落下篷来, 任船飘去.

27:18 And because we were violently battered by the storm, on the next day they began jettisoning the cargo,
我们被风浪逼得甚急, 第二天众人就把货物抛在海里.

27:19 and on the third day they threw overboard the gear of the ship with their own hands.
到第三天, 他们又亲手把船上的器具抛弃了.

27:20 But when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and with not a little bad weather confronting us, finally all hope was abandoned that we would be saved.
太阳和星辰多日不显露, 又有狂风大浪催逼, 我们得救的指望就都绝了.

27:21 And because many were experiencing lack of appetite, at that time Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice not to put out to sea from Crete, and thus avoided this damage and loss!
众人多日没有吃甚么, 保罗就出来站在他们中间, 说: “众位, 你们本该听我的话, 不离开克里特, 免得遭这样的伤损破坏.

27:22 And now I urge you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life from among you, but only of the ship.
现在我还劝你们放心, 你们的性命一个也不失丧, 惟独失丧这船.

27:23 For this night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve came to me,
因我所属所事奉的神, 他的使者昨夜站在我旁边, 说:

27:24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar, and behold, God has graciously granted you all who are sailing with you.’
‘保罗, 不要害怕, 你必定站在凯撒面前, 并且与你同船的人, 神都赐给你了. ’

27:25 Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will be like this—according to the way it was told to me.
所以众位可以放心, 我信神他怎样对我说, 事情也要怎样成就.

27:26 But it is necessary that we run aground on some island.”
只是我们必要撞在一个岛上. ”

27:27 And when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven in the Adriatic Sea about the middle of the night, the sailors suspected they were approaching some land.
到了第十四天夜间, 船在亚得里亚海飘来飘去. 约到半夜, 水手以为渐近旱地,

27:28 And taking soundings, they found twenty fathoms. So going on a little further and taking soundings again, they found fifteen fathoms.
就探深浅, 探得有十二丈; 稍往前行, 又探深浅, 探得有九丈.

27:29 And because they were afraid lest somewhere we run aground against rough places, they threw down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.
恐怕撞在石头上, 就从船尾抛下四个锚, 盼望天亮.

27:30 And when the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship’s boat into the sea, pretending as if they were going to lay out anchors from the bow,
水手想要逃出船去, 把小船放在海里, 假作要从船头抛锚的样子.

27:31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved!”
保罗对百夫长和兵丁说: “这些人若不等在船上, 你们必不能得救. ”

27:32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it fall away.
于是兵丁砍断小船的绳子, 由它飘去.

27:33 And until the day was about to come, Paul was urging them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited anxiously, and you have continued without eating, having taken nothing.
天渐亮的时候, 保罗劝众人都吃饭, 说: “你们悬望忍饿不吃甚么, 已经十四天了.

27:34 Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is necessary for your preservation. For not a hair from your head will be lost.”
所以我劝你们吃饭, 这是关乎你们救命的事; 因为你们各人连一根头发也不至于损坏. ”

27:35 And after he said these things and took bread, he gave thanks to God in front of them all, and after breaking it, he began to eat.
保罗说了这话, 就拿著饼, 在众人面前祝谢了神, 擘开吃.

27:36 So they all were encouraged and partook of food themselves.
于是他们都放下心, 也就吃了.

27:37 (Now we were in all two hundred seventy six persons on the ship.)
我们在船上的共有二百七十六个人.

27:38 And when they had eaten their fill of food, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.
他们吃饱了, 就把船上的麦子抛在海里, 为要叫船轻一点.

27:39 Now when day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which they decided to run the ship ashore if they could.
“到了天亮, 他们不认识那地方, 但见一个海湾, 有岸可登, 就商议能把船拢进去不能.

27:40 And slipping the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes of the steering oars. And hoisting the foresail to the wind that was blowing, they held course for the beach.
于是砍断缆索, 弃锚在海里; 同时也松开舵绳, 拉起头篷, 顺着风向岸行去.

27:41 But falling into a place of crosscurrents, they ran the ship aground. And the bow stuck fast and stayed immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence.
但遇着两水夹流的地方, 就把船搁了浅; 船头胶住不动, 船尾被浪的猛力冲坏.

27:42 Now the plan of the soldiers was that they would kill the prisoners lest any escape by swimming away,
兵丁的意思要把囚犯杀了, 恐怕有洑水脱逃的.

27:43 but the centurion, because he wanted to save Paul, prevented them from doing what they intended, and gave orders that those who were able to swim should jump in first to get to the land,
但百夫长要救保罗, 不准他们任意而行, 就吩咐会洑水的, 跳下水去先上岸;

27:44 and then the rest, some of whom floated on planks and some of whom on anything that was from the ship. And in this way all were brought safely to the land.
其余的人可以用板子或船上的零碎东西上岸. 这样, 众人都得了救, 上了岸.

Acts - Chapter 28

28:1 And after we were brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta.
我们既已得救, 才知道那岛名叫马耳他.

28:2 And the local inhabitants showed extraordinary kindness to us, for they lit a fire and welcomed us all, because of the rain that had begun and because of the cold.
土人看待我们, 有非常的情分; 因为当时下雨, 天气又冷, 就生火接待我们众人.

28:3 And when Paul had gathered a large number of sticks and was placing them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.
那时, 保罗拾起一捆柴, 放在火上, 有一条毒蛇, 因为热了出来, 咬住他的手.

28:4 And when the local people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “Doubtless this man is a murderer whom, although he was rescued from the sea, Justice has not permitted to live!”
土人看见那毒蛇悬在他手上, 就彼此说: “这人必是个凶手, 虽然从海里救上来, 天理还不容他活着. ”

28:5 He, in turn, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.
保罗竟把那毒蛇甩在火里, 并没有受伤.

28:6 But they were expecting that he was going to swell up or suddenly to fall down dead. So after they had waited for a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began saying that he was a god.
土人想他必要肿起来, 或是忽然仆倒死了; 看了多时, 见他无害, 就转念, 说: “他是个神. ”

28:7 Now in the regions around that place were fields belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
离那地方不远, 有田产是岛长部百流的; 他接纳我们, 尽情款待三日.

28:8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying down, afflicted with fever and dysentery. Paul went to him and after praying, he placed his hands on him and healed him.
当时, 部百流的父亲患热病和痢疾躺着. 保罗进去, 为他祷告, 按手在他身上, 治好了他.

28:9 And after this had taken place, the rest of those on the island who had diseases were coming and being healed also.
从此, 岛上其余的病人也来, 得了医治.

28:10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we were putting out to sea, they gave us the things we needed.
他们又多方地尊敬我们; 到了开船的时候, 也把我们所需用的送到船上.

28:11 Now after three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered at the island, an Alexandrian one with the twin gods Castor and Pollux as its insignia.
过了三个月, 我们上了亚历山大的船往前行; 这船以“宙斯双子”为记, 是在那海岛过了冬的.

28:12 And putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
到了叙拉古, 我们停泊三日;

28:13 From there we got underway and arrived at Rhegium, and after one day a south wind came up and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
又从那里绕行, 来到利基翁. 过了一天, 起了南风, 第二天就来到部丢利.

28:14 where we found brothers, and were implored to stay with them seven days. And in this way we came to Rome.
在那里遇见弟兄们, 请我们与他们同住了七天. 这样, 我们来到罗马.

28:15 And from there the brothers, when they heard the news about us, came to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns. When he saw them, Paul gave thanks to God and took courage.
那里的弟兄们一听见我们的信息就出来, 到亚比乌市和三馆地方迎接我们. 保罗见了他们, 就感谢神, 放心壮胆.

28:16 And when we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
进了罗马城, (有古卷加: 百夫长把众囚犯交给御营的统领, 惟有)保罗蒙准和一个看守他的兵另住在一处.

28:17 Now it happened that after three days, he called together those who were the most prominent of the Jews. And when they had assembled, he said to them, “Men and brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, from Jerusalem I was delivered as a prisoner into the hands of the Romans,
过了三天, 保罗请犹太人的首领来. 他们来了, 就对他们说: “弟兄们, 我虽没有做甚么事干犯本国的百姓和我们祖宗的规条, 却被锁绑, 从耶路撒冷解在罗马人的手里.

28:18 who, when they had examined me, were wanting to release me, because there was no basis for an accusation worthy of death with me.
他们审问了我, 就愿意释放我; 因为在我身上, 并没有该死的罪.

28:19 But because the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar (not as if I had any charge to bring against my own people).
无奈犹太人不服, 我不得已, 只好上告于凯撒, 并非有甚么事要控告我本国的百姓.

28:20 Therefore for this reason I have requested to see you and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel I am wearing this chain!”
因此, 我请你们来见面说话, 我原为以色列人所指望的, 被这链子捆锁. ”

28:21 And they said to him, “We have received no letters about you from Judea, nor has any of the brothers come and reported or spoken anything evil about you.
他们说: “我们并没有接着从犹太来论你的信, 也没有弟兄到这里来报给我们说你有甚么不好处.

28:22 But we would like to hear from you what you think, for concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.”
但我们愿意听你的意见如何; 因为这教门, 我们晓得是到处被毁谤的. ”

28:23 And when they had set a day with him, many more came to him at his lodging place, to whom he was explaining from early in the morning until evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and attempting to convince them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.
他们和保罗约定了日子, 就有许多人到他的寓处来. 保罗从早到晚, 对他们讲论这事, 证明神国的道, 引摩西的律法和先知的书, 以耶稣的事劝勉他们.

28:24 And some were convinced by what was said, but others refused to believe.
他所说的话, 有信的, 有不信的.

28:25 So being in disagreement with one another, they began to leave after Paul made one statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,
他们彼此不合, 就散了; 未散以先, 保罗说了一句话, 说: “圣灵藉先知以赛亚向你们祖宗所说的话是不错的.

28:26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing and will never understand, and you will keep on seeing and will never perceive.
他说: 你去告诉这百姓说: 你们听是要听见, 却不明白; 看是要看见, 却不晓得;

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” ’
因为这百姓油蒙了心, 耳朵发沉, 眼睛闭着; 恐怕眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 我就医治他们.

28:28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They also will listen!”
所以你们当知道, 神这救恩, 如今传给外邦人, 他们也必听受. ”(有古卷加:

28:29
保罗说了这话, 犹太人议论纷纷地就走了. )

28:30 So he stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and welcomed all who came to him,
保罗在自己所租的房子里住了足足两年. 凡来见他的人, 他全都接待,

28:31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
放胆传讲神国的道, 将主耶稣基督的事教导人, 并没有人禁止.

Romans (罗马书)

Romans - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
耶稣基督的仆人保罗, 奉召为使徒, 特派传神的福音.

1:2 which he promised previously through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
这福音是神从前藉众先知在圣经上所应许的,

1:3 concerning his Son, who was born a descendant of David according to the flesh,
论到他儿子─我主耶稣基督. 按肉体说, 是从大卫后裔生的;

1:4 who was declared Son of God in power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord,
按圣善的灵说, 因从死里复活, 以大能显明是神的儿子.

1:5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name,
我们从他受了恩惠并使徒的职分, 在万国之中叫人为他的名信服真道;

1:6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ.
其中也有你们这蒙召属耶稣基督的人.

1:7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
我写信给你们在罗马,为神所爱,奉召作圣徒的众人. 愿恩惠,平安从我们的父神并主耶稣基督归与你们!

1:8 First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world.
第一, 我靠着耶稣基督, 为你们众人感谢我的神, 因你们的信德传遍了天下.

1:9 For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how constantly I make mention of you,
我在他儿子福音上, 用心灵所事奉的神可以见证, 我怎样不住地提到你们;

1:10 always asking in my prayers if somehow now at last I may succeed to come to you in the will of God.
在祷告之间常常恳求, 或者照神的旨意, 终能得平坦的道路往你们那里去.

1:11 For I desire to see you, in order that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, in order to strengthen you,
因为我切切地想见你们, 要把些属灵的恩赐分给你们, 使你们可以坚固;

1:12 that is, to be encouraged together with you through our mutual faith, both yours and mine.
这样, 我在你们中间, 因你与我彼此的信心, 就可以同得安慰.

1:13 Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that often I intended to come to you, and was prevented until now, in order that I might have some fruit among you also, just as also among the rest of the Gentiles.
弟兄们, 我不愿意你们不知道, 我屡次定意往你们那里去, 要在你们中间得些果子, 如同在其余的外邦人中一样; 只是到如今仍有阻隔.

1:14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
无论是希腊人,化外人,聪明人,愚拙人, 我都欠他们的债,

1:15 Thus I am eager to proclaim the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
所以情愿尽我的力量, 将福音也传给你们在罗马的人.

1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
我不以福音为耻; 这福音本是神的大能, 要救一切相信的, 先是犹太人, 后是希腊人.

1:17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, “But the one who is righteous by faith will live.”
因为神的义正在这福音上显明出来; 这义是本于信, 以至于信. 如经上所记: “义人必因信得生. ”

1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
原来, 神的忿怒从天上显明在一切不虔不义的人身上, 就是那些行不义阻挡真理的人.

1:19 because what can be known about God is evident among them, for God made it clear to them.
神的事情, 人所能知道的, 原显明在人心里, 因为神已经给他们显明.

1:20 For from the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, both his eternal power and deity, are discerned clearly, being understood in the things created, so that they are without excuse.
自从造天地以来, 神的永能和神性是明明可知的, 虽是眼不能见, 但藉著所造之物就可以晓得, 叫人无可推诿.

1:21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasoning, and their senseless hearts were darkened.
因为, 他们虽然知道神, 却不当作神荣耀他, 也不感谢他. 他们的思念变为虚妄, 无知的心就昏暗了.

1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
自称为聪明, 反成了愚拙,

1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God with the likeness of an image of mortal human beings and birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.
将不能朽坏之神的荣耀变为偶像, 仿佛必朽坏的人和飞禽,走兽,昆虫的样式.

1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to immorality, that their bodies would be dishonored among themselves,
所以, 神任凭他们逞著心里的情欲行污秽的事, 以致彼此玷辱自己的身体.

1:25 who exchanged the truth of God with a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed for eternity. Amen.
他们将神的真实变为虚谎, 去敬拜事奉受造之物, 不敬奉那造物的主─主乃是可称颂的, 直到永远. 阿们!

1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to degrading passions, for their females exchanged the natural relations for those contrary to nature,
因此, 神任凭他们放纵可羞耻的情欲. 他们的女人把顺性的用处变为逆性的用处;

1:27 and likewise also the males, abandoning the natural relations with the female, were inflamed in their desire toward one another, males with males committing the shameless deed, and receiving in themselves the penalty that was necessary for their error.
男人也是如此, 弃了女人顺性的用处, 欲火攻心, 彼此贪恋, 男和男行可羞耻的事, 就在自己身上受这妄为当得的报应.

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to recognize God, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do the things that are not proper,
他们既然故意不认识神, 神就任凭他们存邪僻的心, 行那些不合理的事;

1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greediness, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malevolence. They are gossipers,
装满了各样不义,邪恶,贪婪,恶毒(或译: 阴毒); 满心是嫉妒,凶杀,争竞,诡诈,毒恨;

1:30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, contrivers of evil, disobedient to parents,
又是谗毁的,背后说人的,怨恨神的(或译: 被神所憎恶的),侮慢人的,狂傲的,自夸的,捏造恶事的,违背父母的,

1:31 senseless, faithless, unfeeling, unmerciful,
无知的,背约的,无亲情的,不怜悯人的.

1:32 who, although they know the requirements of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do they do the same things, but also they approve of those who do them.
他们虽知道神判定行这样事的人是当死的, 然而他们不但自己去行, 还喜欢别人去行.

Romans - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one of you who passes judgment. For in that which you pass judgment on someone else, you condemn yourself, for you who are passing judgment are doing the same things.
你这论断人的, 无论你是谁, 也无可推诿. 你在甚么事上论断人, 就在甚么事上定自己的罪; 因你这论断人的, 自己所行却和别人一样.

2:2 Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.
我们知道这样行的人, 神必照真理审判他.

2:3 But do you think this, O man who passes judgment on those who do such things, and who does the same things, that you will escape the judgment of God?
你这人哪, 你论断行这样事的人, 自己所行的却和别人一样, 你以为能逃脱神的审判吗?

2:4 Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
还是你藐视他丰富的恩慈,宽容,忍耐, 不晓得他的恩慈是领你悔改呢?

2:5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
你竟任着你刚硬不悔改的心, 为自己积蓄忿怒, 以致神震怒, 显他公义审判的日子来到.

2:6 who will reward each one according to his works:
他必照各人的行为报应各人.

2:7 to those who, by perseverance in good work, seek glory and honor and immortality, eternal life,
凡恒心行善,寻求荣耀,尊贵和不能朽坏之福的, 就以永生报应他们;

2:8 but to those who act from selfish ambition and who disobey the truth, but who obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.
惟有结党,不顺从真理,反顺从不义的, 就以忿怒,恼恨报应他们;

2:9 There will be affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, of the Jew first and of the Greek,
将患难,困苦加给一切作恶的人, 先是犹太人, 后是希腊人,

2:10 but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and to the Greek.
却将荣耀,尊贵,平安加给一切行善的人, 先是犹太人, 后是希腊人.

2:11 For there is no partiality with God.
因为神不偏待人.

2:12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
凡没有律法犯了罪的, 也必不按律法灭亡; 凡在律法以下犯了罪的, 也必按律法受审判.

2:13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.
(原来在神面前, 不是听律法的为义, 乃是行律法的称义.

2:14 For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, although they do not have the law, are a law to themselves,
没有律法的外邦人若顺着本性行律法上的事, 他们虽然没有律法, 自己就是自己的律法.

2:15 who show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts one after another accusing or even defending them
这是显出律法的功用刻在他们心里, 他们是非之心同作见证, 并且他们的思念互相较量, 或以为是, 或以为非. )

2:16 on the day when God judges the secret things of people, according to my gospel, through Christ Jesus.
就在神藉耶稣基督审判人隐祕事的日子, 照着我的福音所言.

2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God
你称为犹太人, 又倚靠律法, 且指著神夸口;

2:18 and know his will and approve the things that are superior, because you are instructed by the law,
既从律法中受了教训, 就晓得神的旨意, 也能分别是非(或译: 也喜爱那美好的事);

2:19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
又深信自己是给瞎子领路的, 是黑暗中人的光,

2:20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
是蠢笨人的师傅, 是小孩子的先生, 在律法上有知识和真理的模范.

2:21 Therefore, the one who teaches someone else, do you not teach yourself? The one who preaches not to steal, do you steal?
你既是教导别人, 还不教导自己吗? 你讲说人不可偷窃, 自己还偷窃吗?

2:22 The one who says not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one who abhors idols, do you rob temples?
你说人不可奸淫, 自己还奸淫吗? 你厌恶偶像, 自己还偷窃庙中之物吗?

2:23 Who boast in the law, by the transgression of the law you dishonor God!
你指著律法夸口, 自己倒犯律法,玷辱神吗?

2:24 For just as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
神的名在外邦人中, 因你们受了亵渎, 正如经上所记的.

2:25 For circumcision is of value if you do the law, but if you should be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
你若是行律法的, 割礼固然于你有益; 若是犯律法的, 你的割礼就算不得割礼.

2:26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised person follows the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be credited for circumcision?
所以那未受割礼的, 若遵守律法的条例, 他虽然未受割礼, 岂不算是有割礼吗?

2:27 And the uncircumcised person by nature who carries out the law will judge you who, though provided with the precise written code and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.
而且那本来未受割礼的, 若能全守律法, 岂不是要审判你这有仪文和割礼竟犯律法的人吗?

2:28 For the Jew is not one outwardly, nor is circumcision outwardly, in the flesh.
因为外面作犹太人的, 不是真犹太人; 外面肉身的割礼, 也不是真割礼.

2:29 But the Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter, whose praise is not from people but from God.
惟有里面作的, 才是真犹太人; 真割礼也是心里的, 在乎灵, 不在乎仪文. 这人的称赞不是从人来的, 乃是从神来的.

Romans - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore, what is the advantage of the Jew, or what is the use of circumcision?
这样说来, 犹太人有甚么长处? 割礼有甚么益处呢?

3:2 Much in every way. For first, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
凡事大有好处: 第一是神的圣言交托他们.

3:3 What is the result if some refused to believe? Their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?
即便有不信的, 这有何妨呢? 难道他们的不信就废掉神的信吗?

3:4 May it never be! But let God be true but every human being a liar, just as it is written, “In order that you may be justified in your words, and may prevail when you are judged.”
断乎不能! 不如说, 神是真实的, 人都是虚谎的. 如经上所记: 你责备人的时候, 显为公义; 被人议论的时候, 可以得胜.

3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God, who inflicts wrath, is not unjust, is he? (I am speaking according to a human perspective.)
我且照着人的常话说, 我们的不义若显出神的义来, 我们可以怎么说呢? 神降怒, 是他不义吗?

3:6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?
断乎不是! 若是这样, 神怎能审判世界呢?

3:7 But if by my lying, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still condemned as a sinner?
若神的真实, 因我的虚谎越发显出他的荣耀, 为甚么我还受审判, 好像罪人呢?

3:8 And why not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say), “Let us do evil, in order that good may come of it? Their condemnation is just!
为甚么不说, 我们可以作恶以成善呢? 这是毁谤我们的人说我们有这话. 这等人定罪是该当的.

3:9 What then? Do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,
这却怎么样呢? 我们比他们强吗? 决不是的! 因我们已经证明: 犹太人和希腊人都在罪恶之下.

3:10 just as it is written, “There is no one righteous, not even one;
就如经上所记: 没有义人, 连一个也没有.

3:11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
没有明白的; 没有寻求神的;

3:12 All have turned aside together; they have become worthless; There is no one who practices kindness; there is not even one.
都是偏离正路, 一同变为无用. 没有行善的, 连一个也没有.

3:13 Their throat is an opened grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips,
他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓; 他们用舌头弄诡诈, 嘴唇里有虺蛇的毒气,

3:14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
满口是咒骂苦毒.

3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood;
杀人流血, 他们的脚飞跑,

3:16 destruction and distress are in their paths,
所经过的路便行残害暴虐的事.

3:17 and they have not known the way of peace.
平安的路, 他们未曾知道;

3:18 The fear of God is not before their eyes.”
他们眼中不怕神.

3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law, in order that every mouth may be closed and the whole world may become accountable to God.
我们晓得律法上的话都是对律法以下之人说的, 好塞住各人的口, 叫普世的人都伏在神审判之下.

3:20 For by the works of the law no person will be declared righteous before him, for through the law comes knowledge of sin.
所以凡有血气的, 没有一个因行律法能在神面前称义, 因为律法本是叫人知罪.

3:21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified about by the law and the prophets—
但如今, 神的义在律法以外已经显明出来, 有律法和先知为证:

3:22 that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
就是神的义, 因信耶稣基督加给一切相信的人, 并没有分别.

3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
因为世人都犯了罪, 亏缺了神的荣耀;

3:24 being justified as a gift by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
如今却蒙神的恩典, 因基督耶稣的救赎, 就白白地称义.

3:25 whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,
神设立耶稣作挽回祭, 是凭著耶稣的血, 藉著人的信, 要显明神的义; 因为他用忍耐的心宽容人先时所犯的罪,

3:26 in the forbearance of God, for the demonstration of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just and the one who justifies the person by faith in Jesus.
好在今时显明他的义, 使人知道他自己为义, 也称信耶稣的人为义.

3:27 Therefore, where is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
既是这样, 哪里能夸口呢? 没有可夸的了. 用何法没有的呢? 是用立功之法吗? 不是, 乃用信主之法.

3:28 For we consider a person to be justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
所以(有古卷: 因为)我们看定了: 人称义是因着信, 不在乎遵行律法.

3:29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles,
难道神只作犹太人的神吗? 不也是作外邦人的神吗? 是的, 也作外邦人的神.

3:30 since God is one, who will justify those who are circumcised by faith and those who are uncircumcised through faith.
神既是一位, 他就要因信称那受割礼的为义, 也要因信称那未受割礼的为义.

3:31 Therefore, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be! But we uphold the law.
这样, 我们因信废了律法吗? 断乎不是! 更是坚固律法.

Romans - Chapter 4

4:1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has found?
如此说来, 我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕凭著肉体得了甚么呢?

4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
倘若亚伯拉罕是因行为称义, 就有可夸的; 只是在神面前并无可夸.

4:3 For what does the scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.”
经上说甚么呢? 说: “亚伯拉罕信神, 这就算为他的义. ”

4:4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited according to grace, but according to his due.
做工的得工价, 不算恩典, 乃是该得的;

4:5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,
惟有不做工的, 只信称罪人为义的神, 他的信就算为义.

4:6 just as David also speaks about the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
正如大卫称那在行为以外蒙神算为义的人是有福的.

4:7 “Blessed are they whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins are covered over.
他说: 得赦免其过,遮盖其罪的, 这人是有福的.

4:8 Blessed is the person against whom the Lord will never count sin.”
主不算为有罪的, 这人是有福的.

4:9 Therefore, is this blessing for those who are circumcised, or also for those who are uncircumcised? For we say, “Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.”
如此看来, 这福是单加给那受割礼的人吗? 不也是加给那未受割礼的人吗? 因我们所说, 亚伯拉罕的信, 就算为他的义,

4:10 How then was it credited? While he was circumcised or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised but while uncircumcised!
是怎么算的呢? 是在他受割礼的时候呢? 是在他未受割礼的时候呢? 不是在受割礼的时候, 乃是在未受割礼的时候.

4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness by faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he could be the father of all who believe although they are uncircumcised, so that righteousness could be credited to them,
并且他受了割礼的记号, 作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证, 叫他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父, 使他们也算为义;

4:12 and the father of those who are circumcised to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.
又作受割礼之人的父, 就是那些不但受割礼, 并且按我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕未受割礼而信之踪迹去行的人.

4:13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith.
因为神应许亚伯拉罕和他后裔, 必得承受世界, 不是因律法, 乃是因信而得的义.

4:14 For if those of the law are heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified.
若是属乎律法的人才得为后嗣, 信就归于虚空, 应许也就废弃了.

4:15 For the law produces wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
因为律法是惹动忿怒的(或译: 叫人受刑的); 哪里没有律法, 那里就没有过犯.

4:16 Because of this, it is by faith, in order that it may be according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
所以人得为后嗣是本乎信, 因此就属乎恩, 叫应许定然归给一切后裔; 不但归给那属乎律法的, 也归给那效法亚伯拉罕之信的.

4:17 (just as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”) before God, in whom he believed, the one who makes the dead alive and who calls the things that are not as though they are,
亚伯拉罕所信的, 是那叫死人复活,使无变为有的神, 他在主面前作我们世人的父. 如经上所记: “我已经立你作多国的父. ”

4:18 who against hope believed in hope, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said, “so will your descendants be.”
他在无可指望的时候, 因信仍有指望, 就得以作多国的父, 正如先前所说: “你的后裔将要如此. ”

4:19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, because he was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
他将近百岁的时候, 虽然想到自己的身体如同已死, 撒拉的生育已经断绝, 他的信心还是不软弱;

4:20 And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God
并且仰望神的应许, 总没有因不信心里起疑惑, 反倒因信心里得坚固, 将荣耀归给神,

4:21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do.
且满心相信神所应许的必能做成.

4:22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness.
所以, 这就算为他的义.

4:23 But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him,
“算为他义”的这句话不是单为他写的,

4:24 but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
也是为我们将来得算为义之人写的, 就是我们这信神使我们的主耶稣从死里复活的人.

4:25 who was handed over on account of our trespasses, and was raised up in the interest of our justification.
耶稣被交给人, 是为我们的过犯; 复活, 是为叫我们称义(或译: 耶稣是为我们的过犯交付了, 是为我们称义复活了).

Romans - Chapter 5

5:1 Therefore, because we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
我们既因信称义, 就藉著我们的主耶稣基督得与神相和.

5:2 through whom also we have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
我们又藉著他, 因信得进入现在所站的这恩典中, 并且欢欢喜喜盼望神的荣耀.

5:3 And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces patient endurance,
不但如此, 就是在患难中也是欢欢喜喜的; 因为知道患难生忍耐,

5:4 and patient endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,
忍耐生老练, 老练生盼望;

5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
盼望不至于羞耻, 因为所赐给我们的圣灵将神的爱浇灌在我们心里.

5:6 For while we were still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly.
因我们还软弱的时候, 基督就按所定的日期为罪人死.

5:7 For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),
为义人死, 是少有的; 为仁人死, 或者有敢做的.

5:8 but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神的爱就在此向我们显明了.

5:9 Therefore, by much more, because we have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath.
现在我们既靠着他的血称义, 就更要藉著他免去神的忿怒.

5:10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, by much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
因为我们作仇敌的时候, 且藉著神儿子的死, 得与神和好; 既已和好, 就更要因他的生得救了.

5:11 And not only this, but also we are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
不但如此, 我们既藉著我主耶稣基督得与神和好, 也就藉著他以神为乐.

5:12 Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned.
这就如罪是从一人入了世界, 死又是从罪来的; 于是死就临到众人, 因为众人都犯了罪.

5:13 For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one’s account when there is no law.
没有律法之先, 罪已经在世上; 但没有律法, 罪也不算罪.

5:14 But death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who is to come.
然而从亚当到摩西, 死就作了王, 连那些不与亚当犯一样罪过的, 也在他的权下. 亚当乃是那以后要来之人的预像.

5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass, for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many.
只是过犯不如恩赐, 若因一人的过犯, 众人都死了, 何况神的恩典, 与那因耶稣基督一人恩典中的赏赐, 岂不更加倍地临到众人吗?

5:16 And the gift is not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one sin led to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, led to justification.
因一人犯罪就定罪, 也不如恩赐, 原来审判是由一人而定罪, 恩赐乃是由许多过犯而称义.

5:17 For if by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
若因一人的过犯, 死就因这一人作了王, 何况那些受洪恩又蒙所赐之义的, 岂不更要因耶稣基督一人在生命中作王吗?

5:18 Consequently therefore, as through one trespass came condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed came justification of life to all people.
如此说来, 因一次的过犯, 众人都被定罪; 照样, 因一次的义行, 众人也就被称义得生命了.

5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous.
因一人的悖逆, 众人成为罪人; 照样, 因一人的顺从, 众人也成为义了.

5:20 Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance,
律法本是外添的, 叫过犯显多; 只是罪在哪里显多, 恩典就更显多了.

5:21 so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
就如罪作王叫人死; 照样, 恩典也藉著义作王, 叫人因我们的主耶稣基督得永生.

Romans - Chapter 6

6:1 What therefore shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, in order that grace may increase?
这样, 怎么说呢? 我们可以仍在罪中,叫恩典显多吗?

6:2 May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
断乎不可! 我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢?

6:3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
岂不知我们这受洗归入基督耶稣的人是受洗归入他的死吗?

6:4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may live a new way of life.
所以, 我们藉著洗礼归入死, 和他一同埋葬, 原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式, 像基督藉著父的荣耀从死里复活一样.

6:5 For if we have become identified with him in the likeness of his death, certainly also we will be identified with him in the likeness of his resurrection,
我们若在他死的形状上与他联合, 也要在他复活的形状上与他联合;

6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with him, in order that the body of sin may be done away with, that we may no longer be enslaved to sin.
因为知道我们的旧人和他同钉十字架, 使罪身灭绝, 叫我们不再作罪的奴仆;

6:7 For the one who has died has been freed from sin.
因为已死的人是脱离了罪.

6:8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
我们若是与基督同死, 就信必与他同活.

6:9 knowing that Christ, because he has been raised from the dead, is going to die no more, death no longer being master over him.
因为知道基督既从死里复活, 就不再死, 死也不再作他的主了.

6:10 For that death he died, he died to sin once and never again, but that life he lives, he lives to God.
他死是向罪死了, 只有一次; 他活是向神活着.

6:11 So also you, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
这样, 你们向罪也当看自己是死的; 向神在基督耶稣里, 却当看自己是活的.

6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires,
所以, 不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王, 使你们顺从身子的私欲.

6:13 and do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具; 倒要像从死里复活的人, 将自己献给神, 并将肢体作义的器具献给神.

6:14 For sin will not be master over you, because you are not under law, but under grace.
罪必不能作你们的主; 因你们不在律法之下, 乃在恩典之下.

6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
这却怎么样呢? 我们在恩典之下, 不在律法之下, 就可以犯罪吗? 断乎不可!

6:16 Do you not know that to whomever you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to whomever you obey, whether sin, leading to death, or obedience, leading to righteousness?
岂不晓得你们献上自己作奴仆, 顺从谁, 就作谁的奴仆吗? 或作罪的奴仆, 以至于死; 或作顺命的奴仆, 以致成义.

6:17 But thanks be to God that you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted,
感谢神! 因为你们从前虽然作罪的奴仆, 现今却从心里顺服了所传给你们道理的模范.

6:18 and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
你们既从罪里得了释放, 就作了义的奴仆.

6:19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you presented your members as slaves to immorality and lawlessness, leading to lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.
我因你们肉体的软弱, 就照人的常话对你们说. 你们从前怎样将肢体献给不洁不法作奴仆, 以至于不法; 现今也要照样将肢体献给义作奴仆, 以至于成圣.

6:20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with respect to righteousness.
因为你们作罪之奴仆的时候, 就不被义约束了.

6:21 Therefore what sort of fruit did you have then, about which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
你们现今所看为羞耻的事, 当日有甚么果子呢? 那些事的结局就是死.

6:22 But now, having been set free from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit leading to sanctification, and its end is eternal life.
但现今, 你们既从罪里得了释放, 作了神的奴仆, 就有成圣的果子, 那结局就是永生.

6:23 For the compensation due sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
因为罪的工价乃是死; 惟有神的恩赐, 在我们的主基督耶稣里, 乃是永生.

Romans - Chapter 7

7:1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is master of a person for as long a time as he lives?
弟兄们, 我现在对明白律法的人说, 你们岂不晓得律法管人是在活着的时候吗?

7:2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the husband.
就如女人有了丈夫, 丈夫还活着, 就被律法约束; 丈夫若死了, 就脱离了丈夫的律法.

7:3 Therefore as a result, if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she belongs to another man.
所以丈夫活着, 她若归于别人, 便叫淫妇; 丈夫若死了, 她就脱离了丈夫的律法, 虽然归于别人, 也不是淫妇.

7:4 So then, my brothers, you also were brought to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
我的弟兄们, 这样说来, 你们藉著基督的身体, 在律法上也是死了, 叫你们归于别人, 就是归于那从死里复活的, 叫我们结果子给神.

7:5 For when we were in the flesh, sinful desires were working through the law in our members, to bear fruit for death.
因为我们属肉体的时候, 那因律法而生的恶欲就在我们肢体中发动, 以致结成死亡的果子.

7:6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter of the law.
但我们既然在捆我们的律法上死了, 现今就脱离了律法, 叫我们服事主, 要按著心灵(心灵: 或译圣灵)的新样, 不按著仪文的旧样.

7:7 What then shall we say? Is the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
这样, 我们可说甚么呢? 律法是罪吗? 断乎不是! 只是非因律法, 我就不知何为罪. 非律法说“不可起贪心”, 我就不知何为贪心.

7:8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
然而, 罪趁著机会, 就藉著诫命叫诸般的贪心在我里头发动; 因为没有律法, 罪是死的.

7:9 And I was alive once, apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life
我以前没有律法是活着的; 但是诫命来到, 罪又活了, 我就死了.

7:10 and I died, and this commandment which was to lead to life was found with respect to me to lead to death.
那本来叫人活的诫命, 反倒叫我死;

7:11 For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
因为罪趁著机会, 就藉著诫命引诱我, 并且杀了我.

7:12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
这样看来, 律法是圣洁的, 诫命也是圣洁,公义,良善的.

7:13 Therefore, did that which is good become death to me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be recognized as sin, producing death through what is good for me, in order that sin might become sinful to an extraordinary degree through the commandment.
既然如此, 那良善的是叫我死吗? 断乎不是! 叫我死的乃是罪. 但罪藉著那良善的叫我死, 就显出真是罪, 叫罪因着诫命更显出是恶极了.

7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold into slavery to sin.
我们原晓得律法是属乎灵的, 但我是属乎肉体的, 是已经卖给罪了.

7:15 For what I am doing I do not understand, because what I want to do, this I do not practice, but what I hate, this I do.
因为我所做的, 我自己不明白; 我所愿意的, 我并不做; 我所恨恶的, 我倒去做.

7:16 But if what I do not want to do, this I do, I agree with the law that it is good.
若我所做的, 是我所不愿意的, 我就应承律法是善的.

7:17 But now I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.
既是这样, 就不是我做的, 乃是住在我里头的罪做的.

7:18 For I know that good does not live in me, that is, in my flesh. For the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
我也知道, 在我里头, 就是我肉体之中, 没有良善. 因为, 立志为善由得我, 只是行出来由不得我.

7:19 For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but the evil that I do not want to do, this I do.
故此, 我所愿意的善, 我反不做; 我所不愿意的恶, 我倒去做.

7:20 But if what I do not want to do, this I am doing, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.
若我去做所不愿意做的, 就不是我做的, 乃是住在我里头的罪做的.

7:21 Consequently, I find the principle with me, the one who wants to do good, that evil is present with me.
我觉得有个律, 就是我愿意为善的时候, 便有恶与我同在.

7:22 For I joyfully agree with the law of God in my inner person,
因为按著我里面的意思(原文是人), 我是喜欢神的律;

7:23 but I observe another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that exists in my members.
但我觉得肢体中另有个律和我心中的律交战, 把我掳去, 叫我附从那肢体中犯罪的律.

7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
我真是苦啊! 谁能救我脱离这取死的身体呢?

7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself with my mind am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh I am enslaved to the law of sin.
感谢神, 靠着我们的主耶稣基督就能脱离了. 这样看来, 我以内心顺服神的律, 我肉体却顺服罪的律了.

Romans - Chapter 8

8:1 Consequently, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
如今, 那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了.

8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
因为赐生命圣灵的律, 在基督耶稣里释放了我, 使我脱离罪和死的律了.

8:3 For what was impossible for the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
律法既因肉体软弱, 有所不能行的, 神就差遣自己的儿子, 成为罪身的形状, 作了赎罪祭, 在肉体中定了罪案,

8:4 in order that the requirement of the law would be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
使律法的义成就在我们这不随从肉体,只随从圣灵的人身上.

8:5 For those who are living according to the flesh are intent on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the Spirit are intent on the things of the Spirit.
因为, 随从肉体的人体贴肉体的事; 随从圣灵的人体贴圣灵的事.

8:6 For the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace,
体贴肉体的, 就是死; 体贴圣灵的, 乃是生命,平安.

8:7 because the mindset of the flesh is enmity toward God, for it is not subjected to the law of God, for it is not able to do so,
原来体贴肉体的, 就是与神为仇; 因为不服神的律法, 也是不能服,

8:8 and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
而且属肉体的人不能得神的喜欢.

8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.
如果神的灵住在你们心里, 你们就不属肉体, 乃属圣灵了. 人若没有基督的灵, 就不是属基督的.

8:10 But if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
基督若在你们心里, 身体就因罪而死, 心灵却因义而活.

8:11 And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.
然而, 叫耶稣从死里复活者的灵若住在你们心里, 那叫基督耶稣从死里复活的, 也必藉著住在你们心里的圣灵, 使你们必死的身体又活过来.

8:12 So then, brothers, we are obligated not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
弟兄们, 这样看来, 我们并不是欠肉体的债去顺从肉体活着.

8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
你们若顺从肉体活着, 必要死; 若靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行, 必要活着.

8:14 For all those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
因为凡被神的灵引导的, 都是神的儿子.

8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
你们所受的, 不是奴仆的心, 仍旧害怕; 所受的, 乃是儿子的心, 因此我们呼叫: “阿爸! 父! ”

8:16 The Spirit himself confirms to our spirit that we are children of God,
圣灵与我们的心同证我们是神的儿女;

8:17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together with him so that we may also be glorified together with him.
既是儿女, 便是后嗣, 就是神的后嗣, 和基督同作后嗣. 如果我们和他一同受苦, 也必和他一同得荣耀.

8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.
我想, 现在的苦楚若比起将来要显于我们的荣耀就不足介意了.

8:19 For the eagerly expecting creation awaits eagerly the revelation of the sons of God.
受造之物切望等候神的众子显出来.

8:20 For the creation has been subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
因为受造之物服在虚空之下, 不是自己愿意, 乃是因那叫他如此的.

8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its servility to decay, into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
但受造之物仍然指望脱离败坏的辖制, 得享(享: 原文是入)神儿女自由的荣耀.

8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers agony together until now.
我们知道, 一切受造之物一同叹息, 劳苦, 直到如今.

8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves while we await eagerly our adoption, the redemption of our body.
不但如此, 就是我们这有圣灵初结果子的, 也是自己心里叹息, 等候得着儿子的名分, 乃是我们的身体得赎.

8:24 For in hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?
我们得救是在乎盼望; 只是所见的盼望不是盼望, 谁还盼望他所见的呢(有古卷: 人所看见的何必再盼望呢)?

8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we await it eagerly with patient endurance.
但我们若盼望那所不见的, 就必忍耐等候.

8:26 And likewise also, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as one ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with unexpressed groanings.
况且, 我们的软弱有圣灵帮助; 我们本不晓得当怎样祷告, 只是圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祷告.

8:27 And the one who searches our hearts knows what the mindset of the Spirit is, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of God.
鉴察人心的, 晓得圣灵的意思, 因为圣灵照着神的旨意替圣徒祈求.

8:28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose,
我们晓得万事都互相效力, 叫爱神的人得益处, 就是按他旨意被召的人.

8:29 because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brothers.
因为他预先所知道的人, 就预先定下效法他儿子的模样, 使他儿子在许多弟兄中作长子.

8:30 And those whom he predestined, these he also called, and those whom he called, these he also justified, and those whom he justified, these he also glorified.
预先所定下的人又召他们来; 所召来的人又称他们为义; 所称为义的人又叫他们得荣耀.

8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
既是这样, 还有甚么说的呢? 神若帮助我们, 谁能敌挡我们呢?

8:32 Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, together with him, freely give us all things?
神既不爱惜自己的儿子, 为我们众人舍了, 岂不也把万物和他一同白白地赐给我们吗?

8:33 Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies.
谁能控告神所拣选的人呢? 有神称他们为义了(或译: 是称他们为义的神吗).

8:34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ is the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
谁能定他们的罪呢? 有基督耶稣已经死了, 而且从死里复活, 现今在神的右边, 也替我们祈求(有基督....或译: 是已经死了, 而且从死里复活, 现今在神的右边, 也替我们祈求的基督耶稣吗).

8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword?
谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢? 难道是患难吗? 是困苦吗? 是逼迫吗? 是饥饿吗? 是赤身露体吗? 是危险吗? 是刀剑吗?

8:36 Just as it is written, “On account of you we are being put to death the whole day long; we are considered as sheep for slaughter.”
如经上所记: 我们为你的缘故终日被杀; 人看我们如将宰的羊.

8:37 No, but in all these things we prevail completely through the one who loved us.
然而, 靠着爱我们的主, 在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了.

8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
因为我深信无论是死, 是生, 是天使, 是掌权的, 是有能的, 是现在的事, 是将来的事,

8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
是高处的, 是低处的, 是别的受造之物, 都不能叫我们与神的爱隔绝; 这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的.

Romans - Chapter 9

9:1 I am telling the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears witness to me in the Holy Spirit—
我在基督里说真话, 并不谎言, 有我良心被圣灵感动, 给我作见证:

9:2 that my grief is great and there is constant distress in my heart.
我是大有忧愁, 心里时常伤痛;

9:3 For I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my fellow countrymen according to the flesh,
为我弟兄, 我骨肉之亲, 就是自己被咒诅, 与基督分离, 我也愿意.

9:4 who are Israelites, to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the temple service, and the promises,
他们是以色列人; 那儿子的名分,荣耀,诸约,律法,礼仪,应许都是他们的.

9:5 to whom belong the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ according to human descent, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.
列祖就是他们的祖宗; 按肉体说, 基督也是从他们出来的. 他是在万有之上, 永远可称颂的神. 阿们!

9:6 But it is not as if the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel,
这不是说神的话落了空. 因为从以色列生的不都是以色列人,

9:7 nor are they all children because they are descendants of Abraham, but “In Isaac will your descendants be named.”
也不因为是亚伯拉罕的后裔就都作他的儿女; 惟独“从以撒生的才要称为你的后裔. ”

9:8 That is, it is not the children by human descent who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
这就是说, 肉身所生的儿女不是神的儿女, 惟独那应许的儿女才算是后裔.

9:9 For the statement of the promise is this: “At this time I will return and Sarah will have a son.”
因为所应许的话是这样说: “到明年这时候我要来, 撒拉必生一个儿子. ”

9:10 And not only this, but also when Rebecca conceived children by one man, Isaac our father—
不但如此, 还有利百加, 既从一个人, 就是从我们的祖宗以撒怀了孕,

9:11 for although they had not yet been born, or done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to election might remain,
(双子还没有生下来, 善恶还没有做出来, 只因要显明神拣选人的旨意, 不在乎人的行为, 乃在乎召人的主. )

9:12 not by works but by the one who calls—it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger,”
神就对利百加说: “将来, 大的要服事小的. ”

9:13 just as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
正如经上所记: 雅各是我所爱的; 以扫是我所恶的.

9:14 What then shall we say? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!
这样, 我们可说甚么呢? 难道神有甚么不公平吗? 断乎没有!

9:15 For to Moses he says, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
因他对摩西说: 我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁, 要恩待谁就恩待谁.

9:16 Consequently therefore, it does not depend on the one who wills or on the one who runs, but on God who shows mercy.
据此看来, 这不在乎那定意的, 也不在乎那奔跑的, 只在乎发怜悯的神.

9:17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very reason I have raised you up, so that I may demonstrate my power in you, and so that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
因为经上有话向法老说: “我将你兴起来, 特要在你身上彰显我的权能, 并要使我的名传遍天下. ”

9:18 Consequently therefore, he has mercy on whomever he wishes, and he hardens whomever he wishes.
如此看来, 神要怜悯谁就怜悯谁, 要叫谁刚硬就叫谁刚硬.

9:19 Therefore you will say to me, “Why then does he still find fault? For who has resisted his will?
这样, 你必对我说: “他为甚么还指责人呢? 有谁抗拒他的旨意呢? ”

9:20 On the contrary, O man, who are you who answers back to God? Will what is molded say to the one who molded it, “Why did you make me like this”?
你这个人哪, 你是谁, 竟敢向神强嘴呢? 受造之物岂能对造他的说: “你为甚么这样造我呢? ”

9:21 Or does the potter not have authority over the clay, to make from the same lump a vessel that is for honorable use and one that is for ordinary use?
窑匠难道没有权柄从一团泥里拿一块做成贵重的器皿, 又拿一块做成卑贱的器皿吗?

9:22 And what if God, wanting to demonstrate his wrath and to make known his power, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?
倘若神要显明他的忿怒, 彰显他的权能, 就多多忍耐宽容那可怒,预备遭毁灭的器皿,

9:23 And he did so in order that he could make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy that he prepared beforehand for glory,
又要将他丰盛的荣耀彰显在那蒙怜悯,早预备得荣耀的器皿上.

9:24 us whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
这器皿就是我们被神所召的, 不但是从犹太人中, 也是从外邦人中. 这有甚么不可呢?

9:25 As he also says in Hosea, “I will call those who were not my people, ‘My people,’ and those who were not loved, ‘Loved.’
就像神在何西阿书上说: 那本来不是我子民的, 我要称为“我的子民”; 本来不是蒙爱的, 我要称为“蒙爱的”.

9:26 And it will be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’ ”
从前在甚么地方对他们说: 你们不是我的子民, 将来就在那里称他们为“永生神的儿子”.

9:27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Even if the number of the sons of Israel is like the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved,
以赛亚指著以色列人喊著说: “以色列人虽多如海沙, 得救的不过是剩下的余数;

9:28 for the Lord will execute his sentence thoroughly and decisively upon the earth.”
因为主要在世上施行他的话, 叫他的话都成全, 速速地完结. ”

9:29 And just as Isaiah foretold, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom and would have resembled Gomorrah.”
又如以赛亚先前说过: 若不是万军之主给我们存留余种, 我们早已像所多玛,蛾摩拉的样子了.

9:30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness—even the righteousness that is by faith.
这样, 我们可说甚么呢? 那本来不追求义的外邦人反得了义, 就是因信而得的义.

9:31 But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, did not attain to the law.
但以色列人追求律法的义, 反得不著律法的义.

9:32 Why that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if by works. They stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble,
这是甚么缘故呢? 是因为他们不凭著信心求, 只凭著行为求; 他们正跌在那绊脚石上.

9:33 just as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble, and a rock that causes them to fall, and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
就如经上所记: 我在锡安放一块绊脚的石头, 跌人的磐石; 信靠他的人必不至于羞愧.

Romans - Chapter 10

10:1 Brothers, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God on behalf of them is for their salvation.
弟兄们, 我心里所愿的, 向神所求的, 是要以色列人得救.

10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
我可以证明, 他们向神有热心, 但不是按著真知识;

10:3 For ignoring the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
因为不知道神的义, 想要立自己的义, 就不服神的义了.

10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
律法的总结就是基督, 使凡信他的都得着义.

10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The person who does this will live by it.”
摩西写着说: “人若行那出于律法的义, 就必因此活着. ”

10:6 But the righteousness from faith speaks like this: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down),
惟有出于信心的义如此说: “你不要心里说: 谁要升到天上去呢? (就是要领下基督来; )

10:7 or “Who will descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
谁要下到阴间去呢? (就是要领基督从死里上来. )”

10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim),
他到底怎么说呢? 他说: 这道离你不远, 正在你口里, 在你心里─(就是我们所传信主的道. )

10:9 that if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
你若口里认耶稣为主, 心里信神叫他从死里复活, 就必得救.

10:10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
因为, 人心里相信就可以称义, 口里承认就可以得救.

10:11 For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
经上说: “凡信他的人必不至于羞愧. ”

10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who is rich to all who call upon him.
犹太人和希腊人并没有分别, 因为众人同有一位主; 他也厚待一切求告他的人.

10:13 For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”
因为“凡求告主名的就必得救”.

10:14 How then will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him about whom they have not heard? And how will they hear about him without one who preaches to them?
然而, 人未曾信他, 怎能求他呢? 未曾听见他, 怎能信他呢? 没有传道的, 怎能听见呢?

10:15 And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How timely are the feet of those who bring good news of good things.”
若没有奉差遣, 怎能传道呢? 如经上所记: “报福音,传喜信的人, 他们的脚踪何等佳美! ”

10:16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
只是人没有都听从福音, 因为以赛亚说: “主啊, 我们所传的有谁信呢? ”

10:17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ.
可见, 信道是从听道来的, 听道是从基督的话来的.

10:18 But I say, they have not heard, have they? On the contrary, “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.”
但我说, 人没有听见吗? 诚然听见了. 他们的声音传遍天下; 他们的言语传到地极.

10:19 But I say, Israel did not know, did they? First, Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation; by a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.”
我再说, 以色列人不知道吗? 先有摩西说: 我要用那不成子民的惹动你们的愤恨; 我要用那无知的民触动你们的怒气.

10:20 And Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I became known to those who did not ask for me.”
又有以赛亚放胆说: 没有寻找我的, 我叫他们遇见; 没有访问我的, 我向他们显现.

10:21 But about Israel he says, “The whole day long I held out my hands to a disobedient and resistant people.”
至于以色列人, 他说: “我整天伸手招呼那悖逆顶嘴的百姓. ”

Romans - Chapter 11

11:1 Therefore I say, God has not rejected his people, has he? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, from the descendants of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
我且说, 神弃绝了他的百姓吗? 断乎没有! 因为我也是以色列人, 亚伯拉罕的后裔, 属便雅悯支派的.

11:2 God has not rejected his people, whom he foreknew! Or do you not know, in the passage about Elijah, what the scripture says—how he appeals to God against Israel?
神并没有弃绝他预先所知道的百姓. 你们岂不晓得经上论到以利亚是怎么说的呢? 他在神面前怎样控告以色列人说:

11:3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life!”
“主啊, 他们杀了你的先知, 拆了你的祭坛, 只剩下我一个人; 他们还要寻索我的命. ”

11:4 But what does the divine response say to him? “I have left for myself seven thousand people who have not bent the knee to Baal.”
神的回话是怎么说的呢? 他说: “我为自己留下七千人, 是未曾向巴力屈膝的. ”

11:5 So in this way also at the present time, there is a remnant selected by grace.
如今也是这样, 照着拣选的恩典, 还有所留的余数.

11:6 But if by grace, it is no longer by works, for otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
既是出于恩典, 就不在乎行为; 不然, 恩典就不是恩典了.

11:7 What then? What Israel was searching for, this it did not obtain. But the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened,
这是怎么样呢? 以色列人所求的, 他们没有得着. 惟有蒙拣选的人得着了; 其余的就成了顽梗不化的.

11:8 just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, until this very day.”
如经上所记: 神给他们昏迷的心, 眼睛不能看见, 耳朵不能听见, 直到今日.

11:9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, and a cause for stumbling and a retribution to them;
大卫也说: 愿他们的筵席变为网罗, 变为机槛, 变为绊脚石, 作他们的报应.

11:10 let their eyes be darkened so that they do not see, and cause their backs to bend continually.”
愿他们的眼睛昏蒙, 不得看见; 愿你时常弯下他们的腰.

11:11 I say then, they did not stumble so that they fell, did they? May it never be! But by their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
我且说, 他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗? 断乎不是! 反倒因他们的过失, 救恩便临到外邦人, 要激动他们发愤.

11:12 And if their trespass means riches for the world and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean?
若他们的过失为天下的富足, 他们的缺乏为外邦人的富足, 何况他们的丰满呢?

11:13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Therefore, inasmuch as I am apostle to the Gentiles, I promote my ministry,
我对你们外邦人说这话; 因我是外邦人的使徒, 所以敬重(原文是荣耀)我的职分,

11:14 if somehow I may provoke my people to jealousy and save some of them.
或者可以激动我骨肉之亲发愤, 好救他们一些人.

11:15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean except life from the dead?
若他们被丢弃, 天下就得与神和好, 他们被收纳, 岂不是死而复生吗?

11:16 Now if the first fruits are holy, so also is the whole batch of dough, and if the root is holy, so also are the branches.
所献的新面若是圣洁, 全团也就圣洁了; 树根若是圣洁, 树枝也就圣洁了.

11:17 Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although you were a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a sharer of the root of the olive tree’s richness,
若有几根枝子被折下来, 你这野橄榄得接在其中, 一同得着橄榄根的肥汁,

11:18 do not boast against the branches. But if you boast against them, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
你就不可向旧枝子夸口; 若是夸口, 当知道不是你托著根, 乃是根托着你.

11:19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off in order that I could be grafted in.”
你若说, 那枝子被折下来是特为叫我接上.

11:20 Well said! They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand firm because of faith. Do not think arrogant thoughts, but be afraid.
不错! 他们因为不信, 所以被折下来; 你因为信, 所以立得住; 你不可自高, 反要惧怕.

11:21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
神既不爱惜原来的枝子, 也必不爱惜你.

11:22 See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity upon those who have fallen, but upon you the kindness of God—if you continue in his kindness, for otherwise you also will be cut off.
可见, 神的恩慈和严厉向那跌倒的人是严厉的, 向你是有恩慈的, 只要你长久在他的恩慈里; 不然, 你也要被砍下来.

11:23 And those also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God is able to graft them in again.
而且他们若不是长久不信, 仍要被接上, 因为神能够把他们重新接上.

11:24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的, 尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄上, 何况这本树的枝子, 要接在本树上呢!

11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you will not be wise in your own sight, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
弟兄们, 我不愿意你们不知道这奥祕(恐怕你们自以为聪明), 就是以色列人有几分是硬心的, 等到外邦人的数目添满了,

11:26 and so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written, “The deliverer will come out of Zion; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
于是以色列全家都要得救. 如经上所记: 必有一位救主从锡安出来, 要消除雅各家的一切罪恶;

11:27 And this is the covenant from me with them when I take away their sins.”
又说: 我除去他们罪的时候, 这就是我与他们所立的约.

11:28 With respect to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake, but with respect to election, they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.
就著福音说, 他们为你们的缘故是仇敌; 就著拣选说, 他们为列祖的缘故是蒙爱的.

11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
因为神的恩赐和选召是没有后悔的.

11:30 For just as you formerly were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of the disobedience of these,
你们从前不顺服神, 如今因他们的不顺服, 你们倒蒙了怜恤.

11:31 so also these have now been disobedient for your mercy, in order that they also may now be shown mercy.
这样, 他们也是不顺服, 叫他们因着施给你们的怜恤, 现在也就蒙怜恤.

11:32 For God confined them all in disobedience, in order that he could have mercy on them all.
因为神将众人都圈在不顺服之中, 特意要怜恤众人.

11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how incomprehensible are his ways!
深哉, 神丰富的智慧和知识! 他的判断何其难测! 他的踪迹何其难寻!

11:34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?
谁知道主的心? 谁作过他的谋士呢?

11:35 Or who has given in advance to him, and it will be paid back to him?”
谁是先给了他, 使他后来偿还呢?

11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for eternity! Amen.
因为万有都是本于他, 倚靠他, 归于他. 愿荣耀归给他, 直到永远. 阿们!

Romans - Chapter 12

12:1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers, through the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.
所以, 弟兄们, 我以神的慈悲劝你们, 将身体献上, 当作活祭, 是圣洁的, 是神所喜悦的; 你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的.

12:2 And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may approve what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.
不要效法这个世界, 只要心意更新而变化, 叫你们察验何为神的善良,纯全,可喜悦的旨意.

12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone who is among you not to think more highly of yourself than what one ought to think, but to think sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each one.
我凭著所赐我的恩对你们各人说: 不要看自己过于所当看的; 要照着神所分给各人信心的大小, 看得合乎中道.

12:4 For just as in one body we have many members, but all the members do not have the same function,
正如我们一个身子上有好些肢体, 肢体也不都是一样的用处.

12:5 in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
我们这许多人, 在基督里成为一身, 互相联络作肢体, 也是如此.

12:6 but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if it is prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;
按我们所得的恩赐, 各有不同. 或说预言, 就当照着信心的程度说预言;

12:7 if it is service, by service; if it is one who teaches, by teaching;
或作执事, 就当专一执事; 或作教导的, 就当专一教导;

12:8 if it is one who exhorts, by exhortation; one who gives, with sincerity; one who leads, with diligence; one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
或作劝化的, 就当专一劝化; 施舍的, 就当诚实; 治理的, 就当殷勤; 怜悯人的, 就当甘心.

12:9 Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; be attached to what is good,
爱人不可虚假. 恶, 要厌恶; 善, 要亲近.

12:10 being devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another more highly in honor,
爱弟兄, 要彼此亲热; 恭敬人, 要彼此推让.

12:11 not lagging in diligence, being enthusiastic in spirit, serving the Lord,
殷勤, 不可懒惰; 要心里火热, 常常服事主.

12:12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in affliction, being devoted to prayer,
在指望中要喜乐; 在患难中要忍耐; 祷告要恒切.

12:13 contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
圣徒缺乏, 要帮补; 客, 要一味地款待.

12:14 Bless those who persecute, bless and do not curse them.
逼迫你们的, 要给他们祝福; 只要祝福, 不可咒诅.

12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
与喜乐的人要同乐; 与哀哭的人要同哭.

12:16 Think the same thing toward one another; do not think arrogantly, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own sight.
要彼此同心; 不要志气高大, 倒要俯就卑微的人(人: 或译事). 不要自以为聪明.

12:17 Pay back no one evil for evil. Take thought for what is good in the sight of all people.
不要以恶报恶; 众人以为美的事要留心去做.

12:18 If it is possible on your part, be at peace with all people.
若是能行, 总要尽力与众人和睦.

12:19 Do not take revenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
亲爱的弟兄, 不要自己伸冤, 宁可让步, 听凭主怒(或译: 让人发怒); 因为经上记着: “主说: ‘伸冤在我, 我必报应. ’”

12:20 But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this, you will heap up coals of fire upon his head.”
所以, “你的仇敌若饿了, 就给他吃, 若渴了, 就给他喝; 因为你这样行就是把炭火堆在他的头上. ”

12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
你不可为恶所胜, 反要以善胜恶.

Romans - Chapter 13

13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except by God, and those that exist are put in place by God.
在上有权柄的, 人人当顺服他, 因为没有权柄不是出于神的. 凡掌权的都是神所命的.

13:2 So then, the one who resists authority resists the ordinance which is from God, and those who resist will receive condemnation on themselves.
所以, 抗拒掌权的就是抗拒神的命; 抗拒的必自取刑罚.

13:3 For rulers are not a cause of terror for a good deed, but for bad conduct. So do you want not to be afraid of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from it,
作官的原不是叫行善的惧怕, 乃是叫作恶的惧怕. 你愿意不惧怕掌权的吗? 你只要行善, 就可得他的称赞;

13:4 for it is God’s servant to you for what is good. But if you do what is bad, be afraid, because it does not bear the sword to no purpose. For it is God’s servant, the one who avenges for punishment on the one who does what is bad.
因为他是神的用人, 是与你有益的. 你若作恶, 却当惧怕; 因为他不是空空地佩剑; 他是神的用人, 是伸冤的, 刑罚那作恶的.

13:5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.
所以, 你们必须顺服, 不但是因为刑罚, 也是因为良心.

13:6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are servants of God, busily engaged in this very thing.
你们纳粮, 也为这个缘故; 因他们是神的差役, 常常特管这事.

13:7 Pay to everyone what is owed: pay taxes to whom taxes are due; pay customs duties to whom customs duties are due; pay respect to whom respect is due; pay honor to whom honor is due.
凡人所当得的, 就给他. 当得粮的, 给他纳粮; 当得税的, 给他上税; 当惧怕的, 惧怕他; 当恭敬的, 恭敬他.

13:8 Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for the one who loves someone else has fulfilled the law.
凡事都不可亏欠人, 惟有彼此相爱要常以为亏欠, 因为爱人的就完全了律法.

13:9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are summed up in this statement: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
像那不可奸淫, 不可杀人, 不可偷盗, 不可贪婪, 或有别的诫命, 都包在爱人如己这一句话之内了.

13:10 Love does not commit evil against a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
爱是不加害与人的, 所以爱就完全了律法.

13:11 And do this because you know the time, that it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we believed.
再者, 你们晓得, 现今就是该趁早睡醒的时候; 因为我们得救, 现今比初信的时候更近了.

13:12 The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near. Therefore let us throw off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light.
黑夜已深, 白昼将近. 我们就当脱去暗昧的行为, 带上光明的兵器.

13:13 Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.
行事为人要端正, 好像行在白昼. 不可荒宴醉酒; 不可好色邪荡; 不可争竞嫉妒.

13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.
总要披戴主耶稣基督, 不要为肉体安排, 去放纵私欲.

Romans - Chapter 14

14:1 Now receive the one who is weak in faith, but not for quarrels about opinions.
信心软弱的, 你们要接纳, 但不要辩论所疑惑的事.

14:2 One believes he may eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
有人信百物都可吃; 但那软弱的, 只吃蔬菜.

14:3 The one who eats must not despise the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat must not judge the one who eats, because God has accepted him.
吃的人不可轻看不吃的人; 不吃的人不可论断吃的人; 因为神已经收纳他了.

14:4 Who are you, who passes judgment on the domestic slave belonging to someone else? To his own master he stands or falls, and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
你是谁, 竟论断别人的仆人呢? 他或站住或跌倒, 自有他的主人在; 而且他也必要站住, 因为主能使他站住.

14:5 One person prefers one day over another day, and another person regards every day alike. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind.
有人看这日比那日强; 有人看日日都是一样. 只是各人心里要意见坚定.

14:6 The one who is intent on the day is intent on it for the Lord, and the one who eats eats for the Lord, because he is thankful to God, and the one who does not eat does not eat for the Lord, and he is thankful to God.
守日的人是为主守的. 吃的人是为主吃的, 因他感谢神; 不吃的人是为主不吃的, 也感谢神.

14:7 For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself.
我们没有一个人为自己活, 也没有一个人为自己死.

14:8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
我们若活着, 是为主而活; 若死了, 是为主而死. 所以, 我们或活或死总是主的人.

14:9 For Christ died and became alive again for this reason, in order that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
因此, 基督死了, 又活了, 为要作死人并活人的主.

14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
你这个人, 为甚么论断弟兄呢? 又为甚么轻看弟兄呢? 因我们都要站在神的台前.

14:11 For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God.”
经上写着: 主说: 我凭着我的永生起誓: 万膝必向我跪拜; 万口必向我承认.

14:12 So each one of us will give an account concerning himself.
这样看来, 我们各人必要将自己的事在神面前说明.

14:13 Therefore, let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather decide this: not to place a cause for stumbling or a temptation before a brother.
所以, 我们不可再彼此论断, 宁可定意谁也不给弟兄放下绊脚跌人之物.

14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself, except to the one who considers something to be unclean; to that person it is unclean.
我凭著主耶稣确知深信, 凡物本来没有不洁净的; 惟独人以为不洁净的, 在他就不洁净了.

14:15 For if because of food, your brother is grieved, you are no longer living according to love. Do not destroy by your food that person for whom Christ died.
你若因食物叫弟兄忧愁, 就不是按著爱人的道理行. 基督已经替他死, 你不可因你的食物叫他败坏.

14:16 Therefore do not let your good be slandered.
不可叫你的善被人毁谤;

14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
因为神的国不在乎吃喝, 只在乎公义,和平, 并圣灵中的喜乐.

14:18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is well-pleasing to God and approved by people.
在这几样上服事基督的, 就为神所喜悦, 又为人所称许.

14:19 So then, let us pursue what promotes peace and what edifies one another.
所以, 我们务要追求和睦的事与彼此建立德行的事.

14:20 Do not destroy the work of God on account of food. All things are clean, but it is wrong for the person who eats and stumbles in the process.
不可因食物毁坏神的工程. 凡物固然洁净, 但有人因食物叫人跌倒, 就是他的罪了.

14:21 It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine or to do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weakened.
无论是吃肉是喝酒, 是甚么别的事, 叫弟兄跌倒, 一概不做才好.

14:22 The faith that you have, have with respect to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not pass judgment on himself by what he approves.
你有信心, 就当在神面前守着. 人在自己以为可行的事上能不自责, 就有福了.

14:23 But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin.
若有疑心而吃的, 就必有罪, 因为他吃不是出于信心. 凡不出于信心的都是罪.

Romans - Chapter 15

15:1 But we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
我们坚固的人应该担代不坚固人的软弱, 不求自己的喜悦.

15:2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for his good, for the purpose of edification.
我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦, 使他得益处, 建立德行.

15:3 For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
因为基督也不求自己的喜悦, 如经上所记: “辱骂你人的辱骂都落在我身上. ”

15:4 For whatever was written beforehand was written for our instruction, in order that through patient endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.
从前所写的圣经都是为教训我们写的, 叫我们因圣经所生的忍耐和安慰可以得着盼望.

15:5 Now may the God of patient endurance and of encouragement grant you to be in agreement with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus,
但愿赐忍耐安慰的神叫你们彼此同心, 效法基督耶稣,

15:6 so that with one mind you may glorify with one mouth the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
一心一口荣耀神─我们主耶稣基督的父!

15:7 Therefore accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, to the glory of God.
所以, 你们要彼此接纳, 如同基督接纳你们一样, 使荣耀归与神.

15:8 For I say, Christ has become a servant of the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,
我说, 基督是为神真理作了受割礼人的执事, 要证实所应许列祖的话,

15:9 and that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, just as it is written, “Because of this, I will praise you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praise to your name.”
并叫外邦人因他的怜悯荣耀神. 如经上所记: 因此, 我要在外邦中称赞你, 歌颂你的名;

15:10 And again it says, “Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people.”
又说: 你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢乐;

15:11 And again, “Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”
又说: 外邦啊, 你们当赞美主! 万民哪, 你们都当颂赞他!

15:12 And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
又有以赛亚说: 将来有耶西的根, 就是那兴起来要治理外邦的; 外邦人要仰望他.

15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
但愿使人有盼望的神, 因信将诸般的喜乐,平安充满你们的心, 使你们藉著圣灵的能力大有盼望!

15:14 Now I myself also am convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another.
弟兄们, 我自己也深信你们是满有良善, 充足了诸般的知识, 也能彼此劝戒.

15:15 But I have written to you more boldly on some points, so as to remind you again because of the grace that has been given to me by God,
但我稍微放胆写信给你们, 是要提醒你们的记性, 特因神所给我的恩典,

15:16 with the result that I am a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving the gospel of God as a priest, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
使我为外邦人作基督耶稣的仆役, 作神福音的祭司, 叫所献上的外邦人, 因着圣灵成为圣洁, 可蒙悦纳.

15:17 Therefore I have a reason for boasting in Christ Jesus regarding the things concerning God.
所以论到神的事, 我在基督耶稣里有可夸的.

15:18 For I will not dare to speak about anything except that which Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,
除了基督藉我做的那些事, 我甚么都不敢提, 只提他藉我言语作为, 用神蹟奇事的能力, 并圣灵的能力, 使外邦人顺服;

15:19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and traveling around as far as Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
甚至我从耶路撒冷, 直转到以利哩古, 到处传了基督的福音.

15:20 And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,
我立了志向, 不在基督的名被称过的地方传福音, 免得建造在别人的根基上.

15:21 but just as it is written, “Those to whom it was not announced concerning him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
就如经上所记: 未曾闻知他信息的, 将要看见; 未曾听过的, 将要明白.

15:22 For this reason also I was hindered many times from coming to you,
我因多次被拦阻, 总不得到你们那里去.

15:23 and now, no longer having a place in these regions, but having a desire for many years to come to you
但如今, 在这里再没有可传的地方, 而且这好几年, 我切心想望到西班牙去的时候, 可以到你们那里,

15:24 whenever I travel to Spain. For I hope while I am passing through to see you and to be sent on my way by you, whenever I have first enjoyed your company for a while.
盼望从你们那里经过, 得见你们, 先与你们彼此交往, 心里稍微满足, 然后蒙你们送行.

15:25 But now I am traveling to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
但现在, 我往耶路撒冷去供给圣徒.

15:26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
因为马其顿和亚该亚人乐意凑出捐项给耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人.

15:27 For they were pleased to do so, and they are obligated to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in material things.
这固然是他们乐意的, 其实也算是所欠的债; 因外邦人既然在他们属灵的好处上有分, 就当把养身之物供给他们.

15:28 Therefore, after I have accomplished this and sealed this fruit for delivery to them, I will depart by way of you for Spain,
等我办完了这事, 把这善果向他们交付明白, 我就要路过你们那里, 往西班牙去.

15:29 and I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
我也晓得, 去的时候必带着基督丰盛的恩典而去.

15:30 Now I exhort you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to contend along with me in your prayers on my behalf to God,
弟兄们, 我藉著我们主耶稣基督, 又藉著圣灵的爱, 劝你们与我一同竭力, 为我祈求神,

15:31 that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
叫我脱离在犹太不顺从的人, 也叫我为耶路撒冷所办的捐项可蒙圣徒悦纳,

15:32 so that, coming to you with joy by the will of God, I may rest with you.
并叫我顺着神的旨意, 欢欢喜喜地到你们那里, 与你们同得安息.

15:33 Now may the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
愿赐平安的神常和你们众人同在. 阿们!

Romans - Chapter 16

16:1 Now I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is also a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
我对你们举荐我们的姊妹非比; 她是坚革哩教会中的女执事.

弟兄们, 那些离间你们,叫你们跌倒,背乎所学之道的人, 我劝你们要留意躲避他们.

16:18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach, and by smooth speech and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
因为这样的人不服事我们的主基督, 只服事自己的肚腹, 用花言巧语诱惑那些老实人的心.

16:19 For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, and I want you to be wise toward what is good, but innocent toward what is evil.
你们的顺服已经传于众人, 所以我为你们欢喜; 但我愿意你们在善上聪明, 在恶上愚拙.

16:25
惟有神能照我所传的福音和所讲的耶稣基督, 并照永古隐藏不言的奥祕, 坚固你们的心.

16:26
这奥祕如今显明出来, 而且按著永生神的命, 藉众先知的书指示万国的民, 使他们信服真道.

16:27
愿荣耀, 因耶稣基督, 归与独一全智的神, 直到永远. 阿们!

I Corinthians (歌林多前书)

I Corinthians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
奉神旨意, 蒙召作耶稣基督使徒的保罗, 同兄弟所提尼,

1:2 to the church of God sanctified in Christ Jesus that is in Corinth, called to be saints, together with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours.
写信给在哥林多神的教会, 就是在基督耶稣里成圣,蒙召作圣徒的, 以及所有在各处求告我主耶稣基督之名的人. 基督是他们的主, 也是我们的主.

1:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠,平安从神我们的父并主耶稣基督归与你们.

1:4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus,
我常为你们感谢我的神, 因神在基督耶稣里所赐给你们的恩惠;

1:5 that in everything you were made rich in him, in all speech and all knowledge,
又因你们在他里面凡事富足, 口才,知识都全备,

1:6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you,
正如我为基督作的见证, 在你们心里得以坚固,

1:7 so that you do not lack in any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
以致你们在恩赐上没有一样不及人的, 等候我们的主耶稣基督显现.

1:8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
他也必坚固你们到底, 叫你们在我们主耶稣基督的日子无可责备.

1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called to fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
神是信实的, 你们原是被他所召, 好与他儿子─我们的主耶稣基督一同得分.

1:10 Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing and there not be divisions among you, and that you be made complete in the same mind and with the same purpose.
弟兄们, 我藉我们主耶稣基督的名劝你们都说一样的话. 你们中间也不可分党, 只要一心一意, 彼此相合.

1:11 For it has been made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you.
因为革来氏家里的人曾对我提起弟兄们来, 说你们中间有纷争.

1:12 But I say this, that each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” and “I am with Apollos,” and “I am with Cephas,” and “I am with Christ.”
我的意思就是你们各人说: “我是属保罗的”; “我是属亚波罗的”; “我是属矶法的”; “我是属基督的”.

1:13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
基督是分开的吗? 保罗为你们钉了十字架吗? 你们是奉保罗的名受了洗吗?

1:14 I give thanks that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
我感谢神, 除了基利司布并该犹以外, 我没有给你们一个人施洗,

1:15 lest anyone should say that you were baptized in my name.
免得有人说, 你们是奉我的名受洗.

1:16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.)
我也给司提法那家施过洗, 此外给别人施洗没有, 我却记不清.

1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel, not with clever speech, lest the cross of Christ be emptied.
基督差遣我, 原不是为施洗, 乃是为传福音, 并不用智慧的言语, 免得基督的十字架落了空.

1:18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
因为十字架的道理, 在那灭亡的人为愚拙; 在我们得救的人, 却为神的大能.

1:19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will confound.”
就如经上所记: 我要灭绝智慧人的智慧, 废弃聪明人的聪明.

1:20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
智慧人在哪里? 文士在哪里? 这世上的辩士在哪里? 神岂不是叫这世上的智慧变成愚拙吗?

1:21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
世人凭自己的智慧, 既不认识神, 神就乐意用人所当作愚拙的道理拯救那些信的人; 这就是神的智慧了.

1:22 For indeed, Jews ask for sign miracles and Greeks seek wisdom,
犹太人是要神蹟, 希腊人是求智慧,

1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness,
我们却是传钉十字架的基督, 在犹太人为绊脚石, 在外邦人为愚拙;

1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
但在那蒙召的, 无论是犹太人,希腊人, 基督总为神的能力, 神的智慧.

1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
因神的愚拙总比人智慧, 神的软弱总比人强壮.

1:26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise according to human standards, not many were powerful, not many were well born.
弟兄们哪, 可见你们蒙召的, 按著肉体有智慧的不多, 有能力的不多, 有尊贵的也不多.

1:27 But the foolish things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong,
神却拣选了世上愚拙的, 叫有智慧的羞愧; 又拣选了世上软弱的, 叫那强壮的羞愧.

1:28 and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are,
神也拣选了世上卑贱的, 被人厌恶的, 以及那无有的, 为要废掉那有的,

1:29 so that all flesh may not boast before God.
使一切有血气的, 在神面前一个也不能自夸.

1:30 But from him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
但你们得在基督耶稣里是本乎神, 神又使他成为我们的智慧,公义,圣洁,救赎.

1:31 so that, just as it is written, “The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
如经上所记: “夸口的, 当指著主夸口. ”

I Corinthians - Chapter 2

2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
弟兄们, 从前我到你们那里去, 并没有用高言大智对你们宣传神的奥祕.

2:2 For I decided not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
因为我曾定了主意, 在你们中间不知道别的, 只知道耶稣基督并他钉十字架.

2:3 And I came to you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling,
我在你们那里, 又软弱, 又惧怕又甚战兢.

2:4 and my speech and my preaching were not with the persuasiveness of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power,
我说的话,讲的道, 不是用智慧委婉的言语, 乃是用圣灵和大能的明证,

2:5 in order that your faith would not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧, 只在乎神的大能.

2:6 Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing,
然而, 在完全的人中, 我们也讲智慧. 但不是这世上的智慧, 也不是这世上有权有位,将要败亡之人的智慧.

2:7 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,
我们讲的, 乃是从前所隐藏,神奥祕的智慧, 就是神在万世以前预定使我们得荣耀的.

2:8 which none of the rulers of this age knew. For if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
这智慧世上有权有位的人没有一个知道的, 他们若知道, 就不把荣耀的主钉在十字架上了.

2:9 But just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.”
如经上所记: 神为爱他的人所预备的是眼睛未曾看见, 耳朵未曾听见, 人心也未曾想到的.

2:10 For to us God has revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
只有神藉著圣灵向我们显明了, 因为圣灵参透万事, 就是神深奥的事也参透了.

2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? Thus also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
除了在人里头的灵, 谁知道人的事? 像这样, 除了神的灵, 也没有人知道神的事.

2:12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
我们所领受的, 并不是世上的灵, 乃是从神来的灵, 叫我们能知道神开恩赐给我们的事.

2:13 things which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.
并且我们讲说这些事, 不是用人智慧所指教的言语, 乃是用圣灵所指教的言语, 将属灵的话解释属灵的事(或译: 将属灵的事讲与属灵的人).

2:14 But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
然而, 属血气的人不领会神圣灵的事, 反倒以为愚拙, 并且不能知道, 因为这些事惟有属灵的人才能看透.

2:15 Now the spiritual person discerns all things, but he himself is judged by no one.
属灵的人能看透万事, 却没有一人能看透了他.

2:16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord; who has advised him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
谁曾知道主的心去教导他呢? 但我们是有基督的心了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 3

3:1 And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual people, but as to fleshly people, as to infants in Christ.
弟兄们, 我从前对你们说话, 不能把你们当作属灵的, 只得把你们当作属肉体, 在基督里为婴孩的.

3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to eat it. But now you are still not able,
我是用奶喂你们, 没有用饭喂你们. 那时你们不能吃, 就是如今还是不能.

3:3 for you are still fleshly. For where there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and do you not live like unregenerate people?
你们仍是属肉体的, 因为在你们中间有嫉妒,纷争, 这岂不是属乎肉体,照着世人的样子行吗?

3:4 For whenever anyone says, “I am with Paul,” and another, “I am with Apollos,” are you not merely human?
有说: “我是属保罗的”; 有说: “我是属亚波罗的. ”这岂不是你们和世人一样吗?

3:5 Therefore, what is Apollos and what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave.
亚波罗算甚么? 保罗算甚么? 无非是执事, 照主所赐给他们各人的, 引导你们相信.

3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing it to grow.
我栽种了, 亚波罗浇灌了, 惟有神叫他生长.

3:7 So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who is causing it to grow.
可见栽种的, 算不得甚么, 浇灌的, 也算不得甚么; 只在那叫他生长的神.

3:8 Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one, but each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
栽种的和浇灌的, 都是一样, 但将来各人要照自己的工夫得自己的赏赐.

3:9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
因为我们是与神同工的; 你们是神所耕种的田地, 所建造的房屋.

3:10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon it.
我照神所给我的恩, 好像一个聪明的工头, 立好了根基, 有别人在上面建造; 只是各人要谨慎怎样在上面建造.

3:11 For no one is able to lay another foundation than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督, 此外没有人能立别的根基.

3:12 Now if anyone builds upon the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
若有人用金,银,宝石,草木,禾秸在这根基上建造,

3:13 the work of each one will become evident. For the day will reveal it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the work of each one, of what sort it is.
各人的工程必然显露, 因为那日子要将它表明出来, 有火发现; 这火要试验各人的工程怎样.

3:14 If anyone’s work that he has built upon it remains, he will receive a reward.
人在那根基上所建造的工程若存得住, 他就要得赏赐.

3:15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
人的工程若被烧了, 他就要受亏损, 自己却要得救; 虽然得救, 乃像从火里经过的一样.

3:16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
岂不知你们是神的殿, 神的灵住在你们里头吗?

3:17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy this one. For God’s temple is holy, which you are.
若有人毁坏神的殿, 神必要毁坏那人; 因为神的殿是圣的, 这殿就是你们.

3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks himself to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, in order that he may become wise.
人不可自欺. 你们中间若有人在这世界自以为有智慧, 倒不如变作愚拙, 好成为有智慧的.

3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it is written, “The one who catches the wise in their craftiness,”
因这世界的智慧, 在神看是愚拙. 如经上记着说: “主叫有智慧的, 中了自己的诡计”;

3:20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
又说: “主知道智慧人的意念是虚妄的. ”

3:21 So then, let no one boast in people. For all things are yours,
所以无论谁, 都不可拿人夸口, 因为万有全是你们的.

3:22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come, all things are yours,
或保罗, 或亚波罗, 或矶法, 或世界, 或生, 或死, 或现今的事, 或将来的事, 全是你们的;

3:23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
并且你们是属基督的, 基督又是属神的.

I Corinthians - Chapter 4

4:1 Thus let a person consider us as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries.
人应当以我们为基督的执事, 为神奥祕事的管家.

4:2 In this case, moreover, it is sought in stewards that one be found faithful.
所求于管家的, 是要他有忠心.

4:3 But to me it is a very little matter that I be judged by you or by a human court, but I do not even judge myself.
我被你们论断, 或被别人论断, 我都以为极小的事; 连我自己也不论断自己.

4:4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, but not by this am I vindicated. But the one who judges me is the Lord.
我虽不觉得自己有错, 却也不能因此得以称义; 但判断我的乃是主.

4:5 Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord should come, who will both enlighten the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of hearts, and then praise will come to each one from God.
所以, 时候未到, 甚么都不要论断, 只等主来, 他要照出暗中的隐情, 显明人心的意念. 那时, 各人要从神那里得著称赞.

4:6 Now I have applied these things, brothers, to myself and Apollos for your sake, in order that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, lest someone be inflated with pride on behalf of one person against the other.
弟兄们, 我为你们的缘故, 拿这些事转比自己和亚波罗, 叫你们效法我们不可过于圣经所记, 免得你们自高自大, 贵重这个, 轻看那个.

4:7 For who concedes you superiority? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if indeed you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?
使你与人不同的是谁呢? 你有甚么不是领受的呢? 若是领受的, 为何自夸, 仿佛不是领受的呢?

4:8 Already you are satiated! Already you are rich! Apart from us you reign as kings! And would that indeed you reigned as kings, in order that we also might reign as kings with you!
你们已经饱足了! 已经丰富了! 不用我们, 自己就作王了! 我愿意你们果真作王, 叫我们也得与你们一同作王.

4:9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as condemned to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to people.
我想神把我们使徒明明列在末后, 好像定死罪的囚犯; 因为我们成了一台戏, 给世人和天使观看.

4:10 We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are prudent in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, but we are dishonored!
我们为基督的缘故算是愚拙的, 你们在基督里倒是聪明的; 我们软弱, 你们倒强壮; 你们有荣耀, 我们倒被藐视.

4:11 Until the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty and poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless,
直到如今, 我们还是又饥又渴, 又赤身露体, 又挨打, 又没有一定的住处,

4:12 and we toil, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
并且劳苦, 亲手做工. 被人咒骂, 我们就祝福; 被人逼迫, 我们就忍受;

4:13 when we are slandered, we encourage. We have become like the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things, until now.
被人毁谤, 我们就善劝. 直到如今, 人还把我们看作世界上的污秽, 万物中的渣滓.

4:14 I am not writing these things to shame you, but admonishing you as my dear children.
我写这话, 不是叫你们羞愧, 乃是警戒你们, 好像我所亲爱的儿女一样.

4:15 For if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I fathered you through the gospel.
你们学基督的, 师傅虽有一万, 为父的却是不多, 因我在基督耶稣里用福音生了你们.

4:16 Therefore I exhort you, become imitators of me.
所以, 我求你们效法我.

4:17 Because of this, I have sent to you Timothy, who is my dear and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.
因此我已打发提摩太到你们那里去. 他在主里面, 是我所亲爱,有忠心的儿子. 他必提醒你们, 记念我在基督里怎样行事, 在各处各教会中怎样教导人.

4:18 But some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
有些人自高自大, 以为我不到你们那里去;

4:19 But I am coming to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will know not the talk of the ones who have become arrogant, but the power.
然而, 主若许我, 我必快到你们那里去, 并且我所要知道的, 不是那些自高自大之人的言语, 乃是他们的权能.

4:20 For the kingdom of God is not with talk, but with power.
因为神的国不在乎言语, 乃在乎权能.

4:21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
你们愿意怎么样呢? 是愿意我带着刑杖到你们那里去呢? 还是要我存慈爱温柔的心呢?

I Corinthians - Chapter 5

5:1 It is reported everywhere that there is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind which does not even exist among the Gentiles, so that someone has the wife of his father.
风闻在你们中间有淫乱的事. 这样的淫乱连外邦人中也没有, 就是有人收了他的继母.

5:2 And you are inflated with pride, and should you not rather have mourned, so that the one who has done this deed would be removed from your midst?
你们还是自高自大, 并不哀痛, 把行这事的人从你们中间赶出去.

5:3 For although I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this in this way, as if I were present.
我身子虽不在你们那里, 心却在你们那里, 好像我亲自与你们同在, 已经判断了行这事的人.

5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and my spirit, together with the power of our Lord Jesus,
就是你们聚会的时候, 我的心也同在. 奉我们主耶稣的名, 并用我们主耶稣的权能,

5:5 I have decided to hand over such a person to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, in order that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
要把这样的人交给撒但, 败坏他的肉体, 使他的灵魂在主耶稣的日子可以得救.

5:6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough?
你们这自夸是不好的. 岂不知一点面酵能使全团发起来吗?

5:7 Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
你们既是无酵的面, 应当把旧酵除净, 好使你们成为新团; 因为我们逾越节的羔羊基督已经被杀献祭了.

5:8 So then, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven or with the leaven of wickedness and sinfulness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
所以, 我们守这节不可用旧酵, 也不可用恶毒(或译: 阴毒),邪恶的酵, 只用诚实真正的无酵饼.

5:9 I wrote to you in the letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
我先前写信给你们说, 不可与淫乱的人相交.

5:10 By no means did I mean the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people and swindlers or idolaters, since then you would have to depart out of the world.
此话不是指这世上一概行淫乱的, 或贪婪的, 勒索的, 或拜偶像的; 若是这样, 你们除非离开世界方可.

5:11 But now I have written to you not to associate with any so-called brother, if he is a sexually immoral person or a greedy person or an idolater or an abusive person or a drunkard or a swindler—with such a person not even to eat.
但如今我写信给你们说, 若有称为弟兄是行淫乱的, 或贪婪的, 或拜偶像的, 或辱骂的, 或醉酒的, 或勒索的, 这样的人不可与他相交, 就是与他吃饭都不可.

5:12 For what is it to me to judge those outside? Should you not judge those inside?
因为审判教外的人与我何干? 教内的人岂不是你们审判的吗?

5:13 But those outside God will judge. Remove the evil person from among yourselves.
至于外人有神审判他们. 你们应当把那恶人从你们中间赶出去.

I Corinthians - Chapter 6

6:1 Does anyone among you, if he has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
你们中间有彼此相争的事, 怎敢在不义的人面前求审, 不在圣徒面前求审呢?

6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if by you the world is judged, are you unworthy of the most insignificant courts?
岂不知圣徒要审判世界吗? 若世界为你们所审, 难道你们不配审判这最小的事吗?

6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention ordinary matters?
岂不知我们要审判天使吗? 何况今生的事呢?

6:4 Therefore, if you have courts with regard to ordinary matters, do you seat these despised people in the church?
既是这样, 你们若有今生的事当审判, 是派教会所轻看的人审判吗?

6:5 I say this to your shame. So is there not anyone wise among you who will be able to render a decision between his brothers?
我说这话是要叫你们羞耻. 难道你们中间没有一个智慧人能审断弟兄们的事吗?

6:6 But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers!
你们竟是弟兄与弟兄告状, 而且告在不信主的人面前.

6:7 Therefore it is already completely a loss for you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
你们彼此告状, 这已经是你们的大错了. 为甚么不情愿受欺呢? 为甚么不情愿吃亏呢?

6:8 But you wrong and defraud, and do this to brothers!
你们倒是欺压人,亏负人, 况且所欺压所亏负的就是弟兄.

6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither sexually immoral people, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive homosexual partners, nor dominant homosexual partners,
你们岂不知不义的人不能承受神的国吗? 不要自欺! 无论是淫乱的,拜偶像的,奸淫的,作娈童的,亲男色的,

6:10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, not drunkards, not abusive persons, not swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
偷窃的,贪婪的,醉酒的,辱骂的,勒索的, 都不能承受神的国.

6:11 And some of you were these things, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
你们中间也有人从前是这样; 但如今你们奉主耶稣基督的名, 并藉著我们神的灵, 已经洗净, 成圣, 称义了.

6:12 All things are permitted for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be controlled by anything.
凡事我都可行, 但不都有益处. 凡事我都可行, 但无论哪一件, 我总不受它的辖制.

6:13 Food is for the stomach, and the stomach for food, but God will abolish both of them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
食物是为肚腹, 肚腹是为食物; 但神要叫这两样都废坏. 身子不是为淫乱, 乃是为主; 主也是为身子.

6:14 And God both raised up the Lord and will raise us up by his power.
并且神已经叫主复活, 也要用自己的能力叫我们复活.

6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Therefore, shall I take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
岂不知你们的身子是基督的肢体吗? 我可以将基督的肢体作为娼妓的肢体吗? 断乎不可!

6:16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For it says, “The two will become one flesh.”
岂不知与娼妓联合的, 便是与她成为一体吗? 因为主说: “二人要成为一体. ”

6:17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.
但与主联合的, 便是与主成为一灵.

6:18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a person commits is outside his body, but the one who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
你们要逃避淫行. 人所犯的, 无论甚么罪, 都在身子以外, 惟有行淫的, 是得罪自己的身子.

6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
岂不知你们的身子就是圣灵的殿吗? 这圣灵是从神而来, 住在你们里头的; 并且你们不是自己的人,

6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God with your body.
因为你们是重价买来的. 所以, 要在你们的身子上荣耀神.

I Corinthians - Chapter 7

7:1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”
论到你们信上所提的事, 我说男不近女倒好.

7:2 But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband.
但要免淫乱的事, 男子当各有自己的妻子; 女子也当各有自己的丈夫.

7:3 The husband must fulfill his obligation to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
丈夫当用合宜之分待妻子; 妻子待丈夫也要如此.

7:4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does.
妻子没有权柄主张自己的身子, 乃在丈夫; 丈夫也没有权柄主张自己的身子, 乃在妻子.

7:5 Do not defraud one another, except perhaps by agreement, for a time, in order that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and then you should be together again, lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self control.
夫妻不可彼此亏负, 除非两相情愿, 暂时分房, 为要专心祷告方可; 以后仍要同房, 免得撒但趁著你们情不自禁, 引诱你们.

7:6 But I say this as a concession, not as a command.
我说这话, 原是准你们的, 不是命你们的.

7:7 I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.
我愿意众人像我一样; 只是各人领受神的恩赐, 一个是这样, 一个是那样.

7:8 Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.
我对着没有嫁娶的和寡妇说, 若他们常像我就好.

7:9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
倘若自己禁止不住, 就可以嫁娶. 与其欲火攻心, 倒不如嫁娶为妙.

7:10 To the married I command—not I, but the Lord—a wife must not separate from her husband.
至于那已经嫁娶的, 我吩咐他们; 其实不是我吩咐, 乃是主吩咐说: 妻子不可离开丈夫,

7:11 But if indeed she does separate, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
若是离开了, 不可再嫁, 或是仍同丈夫和好. 丈夫也不可离弃妻子.

7:12 Now to the rest I say—not the Lord—if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.
我对其余的人说(不是主说): 倘若某弟兄有不信的妻子, 妻子也情愿和他同住, 他就不要离弃妻子.

7:13 And if any wife has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband.
妻子有不信的丈夫, 丈夫也情愿和她同住, 她就不要离弃丈夫.

7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother, since otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
因为不信的丈夫就因着妻子成了圣洁, 并且不信的妻子就因着丈夫(原文是弟兄)成了圣洁. 不然, 你们的儿女就不洁净, 但如今他们是圣洁的了.

7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such cases. But God has called us in peace.
倘若那不信的人要离去, 就由他离去吧! 无论是弟兄, 是姊妹, 遇着这样的事都不必拘束. 神召我们原是要我们和睦.

7:16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
你这作妻子的, 怎么知道不能救你的丈夫呢? 你这作丈夫的, 怎么知道不能救你的妻子呢?

7:17 But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live—and thus I order in all the churches.
只要照主所分给各人的, 和神所召各人的而行. 我吩咐各教会都是这样.

7:18 Was anyone called after being circumcised? He must not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? He must not become circumcised.
有人已受割礼蒙召呢, 就不要废割礼; 有人未受割礼蒙召呢, 就不要受割礼.

7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
受割礼算不得甚么, 不受割礼也算不得甚么, 只要守神的诫命就是了.

7:20 Each one in the calling in which he was called—in this he should remain.
各人蒙召的时候是甚么身分, 仍要守住这身分.

7:21 Were you called while a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of it.
你是作奴隶蒙召的吗? 不要因此忧虑; 若能以自由, 就求自由更好.

7:22 For the one who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedperson. Likewise the one who is called while free is a slave of Christ.
因为作奴仆蒙召于主的, 就是主所释放的人; 作自由之人蒙召的, 就是基督的奴仆.

7:23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
你们是重价买来的, 不要作人的奴仆.

7:24 Each one in the situation in which he was called, brothers—in this he should remain with God.
弟兄们, 你们各人蒙召的时候是甚么身分, 仍要在神面前守住这身分.

7:25 Now concerning virgins I do not have a command from the Lord, but I am giving an opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.
论到童身的人, 我没有主的命令, 但我既蒙主怜恤能作忠心的人, 就把自己的意见告诉你们.

7:26 Therefore, I consider this to be good because of the impending distress, that it is good for a man to be thus.
因现今的艰难, 据我看来, 人不如守素安常才好.

7:27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek release. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
你有妻子缠着呢, 就不要求脱离; 你没有妻子缠着呢, 就不要求妻子.

7:28 But if you marry, you have not sinned, and if the virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have affliction in the flesh, and I would spare you.
你若娶妻, 并不是犯罪; 处女若出嫁, 也不是犯罪. 然而这等人肉身必受苦难, 我却愿意你们免这苦难.

7:29 But I say this, brothers: the time is shortened, that from now on even those who have wives should be as if they do not have wives,
弟兄们, 我对你们说: 时候减少了. 从此以后, 那有妻子的, 要像没有妻子;

7:30 and those who weep as if they do not weep, and those who rejoice as if they do not rejoice, and those who buy as if they do not possess,
哀哭的, 要像不哀哭; 快乐的, 要像不快乐; 置买的, 要像无有所得;

7:31 and those who make use of the world as if they do not make full use of it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
用世物的, 要像不用世物, 因为这世界的样子将要过去了.

7:32 But I want you to be free from care. The unmarried person cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.
我愿你们无所挂虑. 没有娶妻的, 是为主的事挂虑, 想怎样叫主喜悦.

7:33 But the one who is married cares for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
娶了妻的, 是为世上的事挂虑, 想怎样叫妻子喜悦.

7:34 and he is divided. And the unmarried woman or the virgin cares for the things of the Lord, in order that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
妇人和处女也有分别. 没有出嫁的, 是为主的事挂虑, 要身体,灵魂都圣洁; 已经出嫁的, 是为世上的事挂虑, 想怎样叫丈夫喜悦.

7:35 Now I am saying this for your own benefit, not that I may put a restriction on you, but to promote appropriate and devoted service to the Lord without distraction.
我说这话是为你们的益处, 不是要牢笼你们, 乃是要叫你们行合宜的事, 得以殷勤服事主, 没有分心的事.

7:36 But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry.
若有人以为自己待他的女儿不合宜, 女儿也过了年岁, 事又当行, 他就可随意办理, 不算有罪, 叫二人成亲就是了.

7:37 But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.
倘若人心里坚定, 没有不得已的事, 并且由得自己作主, 心里又决定了留下女儿不出嫁, 如此行也好.

7:38 So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, and the one who does not marry her will do better.
这样看来, 叫自己的女儿出嫁是好, 不叫她出嫁更是好.

7:39 A wife is bound for as long a time as her husband lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she wishes, only in the Lord.
丈夫活着的时候, 妻子是被约束的; 丈夫若死了, 妻子就可以自由, 随意再嫁, 只是要嫁这在主里面的人.

7:40 But she is happier if she remains thus, according to my opinion—and I think I have the Spirit of God.
然而按我的意见, 若常守节更有福气. 我也想自己是被神的灵感动了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 8

8:1 Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
论到祭偶像之物, 我们晓得我们都有知识. 但知识是叫人自高自大, 惟有爱心能造就人.

8:2 If anyone thinks he knows anything, he has not yet known as it is necessary to know.
若有人以为自己知道甚么, 按他所当知道的, 他仍是不知道.

8:3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.
若有人爱神, 这人乃是神所知道的.

8:4 Therefore, concerning the eating of food sacrificed to idols, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world” and that “there is no God except one.”
论到吃祭偶像之物, 我们知道偶像在世上算不得甚么, 也知道神只有一位, 再没有别的神.

8:5 For even if after all there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many gods and many lords,
虽有称为神的, 或在天, 或在地, 就如那许多的神, 许多的主;

8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we are for him, and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we are through him.
然而我们只有一位神, 就是父─万物都本于他; 我们也归于他─并有一位主, 就是耶稣基督─万物都是藉著他有的; 我们也是藉著他有的.

8:7 But this knowledge is not in everyone. But some, being accustomed until now to the idol, eat this food as food sacrificed to idols, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.
但人不都有这等知识. 有人到如今因拜惯了偶像, 就以为所吃的是祭偶像之物. 他们的良心既然软弱, 也就污秽了.

8:8 But food does not bring us close to God. For neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.
其实食物不能叫神看中我们, 因为我们不吃也无损, 吃也无益.

8:9 But watch out lest somehow this right of yours becomes a cause for stumbling to the weak.
只是你们要谨慎, 恐怕你们这自由竟成了那软弱人的绊脚石.

8:10 For if someone should see you who has knowledge reclining for a meal in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, because it is weak, be strengthened so that he eats the food sacrificed to idols?
若有人见你这有知识的, 在偶像的庙里坐席, 这人的良心若是软弱, 岂不放胆去吃那祭偶像之物吗?

8:11 For the one who is weak—the brother for whom Christ died—is destroyed by your knowledge.
因此, 基督为他死的那软弱弟兄, 也就因你的知识沉沦了.

8:12 Now if you sin in this way against the brothers and wound their conscience, which is weak, you sin against Christ.
你们这样得罪弟兄们, 伤了他们软弱的良心, 就是得罪基督.

8:13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat forever, in order that I may not cause my brother to sin.
所以, 食物若叫我弟兄跌倒, 我就永远不吃肉, 免得叫我弟兄跌倒了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 9

9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
我不是自由的吗? 我不是使徒吗? 我不是见过我们的主耶稣吗? 你们不是我在主里面所做之工吗?

9:2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet indeed I am to you, for you are my seal of apostleship in the Lord.
假若在别人, 我不是使徒, 在你们, 我总是使徒, 因为你们在主里正是我作使徒的印证.

9:3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
我对那盘问我的人就是这样分诉:

9:4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink?
难道我们没有权柄靠福音吃喝吗?

9:5 Do we not have the right to take along a sister as wife, like the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
难道我们没有权柄娶信主的姊妹为妻, 带着一同往来, 仿佛其余的使徒和主的弟兄并矶法一样吗?

9:6 Or do only I and Barnabas not have the right to refrain from working?
独有我与巴拿巴没有权柄不做工吗?

9:7 Who ever serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who shepherds a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?
有谁当兵自备粮饷呢? 有谁栽葡萄园不吃园里的果子呢? 有谁牧养牛羊不吃牛羊的奶呢?

9:8 I am not saying these things according to a human perspective. Or does the law not also say these things?
我说这话, 岂是照人的意见; 律法不也是这样说吗?

9:9 For in the law of Moses it is written, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is threshing.” It is not about oxen God is concerned, is it?
就如摩西的律法记着说: “牛在场上踹谷的时候, 不可笼住牠的嘴. ”难道神所挂念的是牛吗?

9:10 Or doubtless does he speak for our sake? For it is written for our sake, because the one who plows ought to plow in hope and the one who threshes ought to do so in hope of a share.
不全是为我们说的吗? 分明是为我们说的. 因为耕种的当存著指望去耕种; 打场的也当存得粮的指望去打场.

9:11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it too great a thing if we reap material things from you?
我们若把属灵的种子撒在你们中间, 就是从你们收割奉养肉身之物, 这还算大事吗?

9:12 If others share this right over you, do we not do so even more? Yet we have not made use of this right, but we endure all things, in order that we may not cause any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
若别人在你们身上有这权柄, 何况我们呢? 然而, 我们没有用过这权柄, 倒凡事忍受, 免得基督的福音被阻隔.

9:13 Do you not know that those performing the holy services eat the things from the temple, and those attending to the altar have a share with the altar?
你们岂不知为圣事劳碌的就吃殿中的物吗? 伺候祭坛的就分领坛上的物吗?

9:14 In the same way also the Lord ordered those who proclaim the gospel to live from the gospel.
主也是这样命定, 叫传福音的靠着福音养生.

9:15 But I have not made use of any of these rights. And I am not writing these things in order that it may be thus with me. For it would be better to me rather to die than for anyone to deprive me of my reason for boasting.
但这权柄我全没有用过. 我写这话, 并非要你们这样待我, 因为我宁可死也不叫人使我所夸的落了空.

9:16 For if I proclaim the gospel, it is not to me a reason for boasting, for necessity is imposed on me. For woe is to me if I do not proclaim the gospel.
我传福音原没有可夸的, 因为我是不得已的. 若不传福音, 我便有祸了.

9:17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if I do so unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.
我若甘心做这事, 就有赏赐; 若不甘心, 责任却已经托付我了.

9:18 What then is my reward? That when I proclaim the gospel, I may offer the gospel free of charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
既是这样, 我的赏赐是甚么呢? 就是我传福音的时候叫人不花钱得福音, 免得用尽我传福音的权柄.

9:19 For although I am free from all people, I have enslaved myself to all, in order that I may gain more.
我虽是自由的, 无人辖管; 然而我甘心作了众人的仆人, 为要多得人.

9:20 I have become like a Jew to the Jews, in order that I may gain the Jews. To those under the law I became as under the law (although I myself am not under the law) in order that I may gain those under the law.
向犹太人, 我就作犹太人, 为要得犹太人; 向律法以下的人, 我虽不在律法以下, 还是作律法以下的人, 为要得律法以下的人.

9:21 To those outside the law I became as outside the law (although I am not outside the law of God, but subject to the law of Christ) in order that I may gain those outside the law.
向没有律法的人, 我就作没有律法的人, 为要得没有律法的人; 其实我在神面前, 不是没有律法; 在基督面前, 正在律法之下.

9:22 To the weak I became weak, in order that I may gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, in order that by all means I may save some.
向软弱的人, 我就作软弱的人, 为要得软弱的人. 向甚么样的人, 我就作甚么样的人. 无论如何, 总要救些人.

9:23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, in order that I may become a participant with it.
凡我所行的, 都是为福音的缘故, 为要与人同得这福音的好处.

9:24 Do you not know that those who run in the stadium all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
岂不知在场上赛跑的都跑, 但得奖赏的只有一人? 你们也当这样跑, 好叫你们得着奖赏.

9:25 And everyone who competes exercises self-control in all things. Thus those do so in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.
凡较力争胜的, 诸事都有节制, 他们不过是要得能坏的冠冕; 我们却是要得不能坏的冠冕.

9:26 Therefore I run in this way, not as running aimlessly; I box in this way, not as beating the air.
所以, 我奔跑不像无定向的; 我斗拳不像打空气的.

9:27 But I discipline my body and subjugate it, lest somehow after preaching to others, I myself should become disqualified.
我是攻克己身, 叫身服我, 恐怕我传福音给别人, 自己反被弃绝了.

I Corinthians - Chapter 10

10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all went through the sea,
弟兄们, 我不愿意你们不晓得, 我们的祖宗从前都在云下, 都从海中经过,

10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
都在云里,海里受洗归了摩西;

10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
并且都吃了一样的灵食,

10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
也都喝了一样的灵水. 所喝的, 是出于随着他们的灵磐石; 那磐石就是基督.

10:5 But God was not pleased with the majority of them, for they were struck down in the desert.
但他们中间多半是神不喜欢的人, 所以在旷野倒毙.

10:6 Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil things, just as those also desired them,
这些事都是我们的鉴戒, 叫我们不要贪恋恶事, 像他们那样贪恋的;

10:7 and not become idolaters, as some of them did, just as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play,”
也不要拜偶像, 像他们有人拜的. 如经上所记: “百姓坐下吃喝, 起来玩耍. ”

10:8 nor commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day,
我们也不要行奸淫, 像他们有人行的, 一天就倒毙了二万三千人;

10:9 nor put Christ to the test, as some of them tested him, and were destroyed by snakes,
也不要试探主(有古卷: 基督), 像他们有人试探的, 就被蛇所灭.

10:10 nor grumble, just as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
你们也不要发怨言, 像他们有发怨言的, 就被灭命的所灭.

10:11 Now these things happened to those people as an example, but are written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
他们遭遇这些事都要作为鉴戒, 并且写在经上, 正是警戒我们这末世的人.

10:12 Therefore, the one who thinks that he stands must watch out lest he fall.
所以, 自己以为站得稳的, 须要谨慎, 免得跌倒.

10:13 Temptation has not come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, so that you may be able to endure it.
你们所遇见的试探, 无非是人所能受的. 神是信实的, 必不叫你们受试探过于所能受的; 在受试探的时候, 总要给你们开一条出路, 叫你们能忍受得住.

10:14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.
我所亲爱的弟兄啊, 你们要逃避拜偶像的事.

10:15 I am speaking as to sensible people; you judge what I am saying.
我好像对明白人说的, 你们要审察我的话.

10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
我们所祝福的杯, 岂不是同领基督的血吗? 我们所擘开的饼, 岂不是同领基督的身体吗?

10:17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share from the one bread.
我们虽多, 仍是一个饼, 一个身体, 因为我们都是分受这一个饼.

10:18 Consider Israel according to the flesh: are not the ones who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?
你们看属肉体的以色列人, 那吃祭物的岂不是在祭坛上有分吗?

10:19 Therefore, what am I saying? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
我是怎么说呢? 岂是说祭偶像之物算得甚么呢? 或说偶像算得甚么呢?

10:20 No, but that the things which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers with demons.
我乃是说, 外邦人所献的祭是祭鬼, 不是祭神. 我不愿意你们与鬼相交.

10:21 You are not able to drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You are not able to share the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
你们不能喝主的杯又喝鬼的杯, 不能吃主的筵席又吃鬼的筵席.

10:22 Or are we attempting to provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than he is, are we?
我们可惹主的愤恨吗? 我们比他还有能力吗?

10:23 All things are permitted, but not all things are profitable. All things are permitted, but not all things build up.
凡事都可行, 但不都有益处. 凡事都可行, 但不都造就人.

10:24 Let no one seek his own good but the good of the other.
无论何人, 不要求自己的益处, 乃要求别人的益处.

10:25 Eat everything that is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for the sake of the conscience,
凡市上所卖的, 你们只管吃, 不要为良心的缘故问甚么话,

10:26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
因为地和其中所充满的都属乎主.

10:27 If any of the unbelievers invites you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of the conscience.
倘有一个不信的人请你们赴席, 你们若愿意去, 凡摆在你们面前的, 只管吃, 不要为良心的缘故问甚么话.

10:28 But if someone says to you, “This is offered to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and the conscience.
若有人对你们说: “这是献过祭的物”, 就要为那告诉你们的人, 并为良心的缘故不吃.

10:29 Now I am not speaking about your own conscience, but the conscience of the other person. For why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?
我说的良心不是你的, 乃是他的. 我这自由为甚么被别人的良心论断呢?

10:30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?
我若谢恩而吃, 为甚么因我谢恩的物被人毁谤呢?

10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.
所以, 你们或吃或喝, 无论做甚么, 都要为荣耀神而行.

10:32 Give no offense both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God,
不拘是犹太人, 是希腊人, 是神的教会, 你们都不要使他跌倒;

10:33 just as I also please all people in all things, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of the many, in order that they may be saved.
就好像我凡事都叫众人喜欢, 不求自己的益处, 只求众人的益处, 叫他们得救.

I Corinthians - Chapter 11

11:1 Become imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
你们该效法我, 像我效法基督一样.

11:2 Now I praise you that you remember me in all things, and just as I handed over to you the traditions, you hold fast to them.
我称赞你们, 因你们凡事记念我, 又坚守我所传给你们的.

11:3 But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and the head of Christ is God.
我愿意你们知道, 基督是各人的头; 男人是女人的头; 神是基督的头.

11:4 Every man who prays or prophesies while having something on his head dishonors his head,
凡男人祷告或是讲道(或译: 说预言; 下同), 若蒙着头, 就羞辱自己的头.

11:5 but every woman who prays or prophesies with uncovered head dishonors her head, for she is one and the same with the one whose head is shaved.
凡女人祷告或是讲道, 若不蒙着头, 就羞辱自己的头, 因为这就如同剃了头发一样.

11:6 For if a woman does not cover herself, let her hair be shorn off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her head shorn or shaved, let her cover her head.
女人若不蒙着头, 就该剪了头发; 女人若以剪发,剃发为羞愧, 就该蒙着头.

11:7 For indeed a man ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
男人本不该蒙着头, 因为他是神的形像和荣耀; 但女人是男人的荣耀.

11:8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
起初, 男人不是由女人而出, 女人乃是由男人而出;

11:9 For indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
并且男人不是为女人造的, 女人乃是为男人造的.

11:10 Because of this, the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, on account of the angels.
因此, 女人为天使的缘故, 应当在头上有服权柄的记号.

11:11 Nevertheless, neither is woman anything apart from man, nor is man anything apart from woman in the Lord.
然而照主的安排, 女也不是无男, 男也不是无女.

11:12 For just as the woman is from the man, thus also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.
因为女人原是由男人而出, 男人也是由女人而出; 但万有都是出乎神.

11:13 You judge for yourselves: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
你们自己审察, 女人祷告神, 不蒙着头是合宜的吗?

11:14 And does not nature itself teach you that a man, if he wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
你们的本性不也指示你们, 男人若有长头发, 便是他的羞辱吗?

11:15 But a woman, if she wears long hair, it is her glory, because her hair is given for a covering.
但女人有长头发, 乃是她的荣耀, 因为这头发是给她作盖头的.

11:16 But if anyone is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
若有人想要辩驳, 我们却没有这样的规矩, 神的众教会也是没有的.

11:17 But in giving this instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
我现今吩咐你们的话, 不是称赞你们; 因为你们聚会不是受益, 乃是招损.

11:18 For in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
第一, 我听说, 你们聚会的时候彼此分门别类, 我也稍微地信这话.

11:19 For indeed it is necessary that there be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may become evident among you.
在你们中间不免有分门结党的事, 好叫那些有经验的人显明出来.

11:20 Therefore, when you come together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
你们聚会的时候, 算不得吃主的晚餐;

11:21 For when you eat it, each one of you goes ahead to take his own supper, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
因为吃的时候, 各人先吃自己的饭, 甚至这个饥饿, 那个酒醉.

11:22 For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have anything? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you!
你们要吃喝, 难道没有家吗? 还是藐视神的教会, 叫那没有的羞愧呢? 我向你们可怎么说呢? 可因此称赞你们吗? 我不称赞!

11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
我当日传给你们的, 原是从主领受的, 就是主耶稣被卖的那一夜, 拿起饼来,

11:24 and after he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
祝谢了, 就擘开, 说: “这是我的身体, 为你们舍(有古卷: 擘开)的, 你们应当如此行, 为的是记念我. ”

11:25 Likewise also the cup, after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
饭后, 也照样拿起杯来, 说: “这杯是用我的血所立的新约, 你们每逢喝的时候, 要如此行, 为的是记念我. ”

11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
你们每逢吃这饼, 喝这杯, 是表明主的死, 直等到他来.

11:27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
所以, 无论何人, 不按理吃主的饼, 喝主的杯, 就是干犯主的身,主的血了.

11:28 But let a person examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread and let him drink from the cup.
人应当自己省察, 然后吃这饼,喝这杯.

11:29 For the one who eats and drinks, if he does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself.
因为人吃喝, 若不分辨是主的身体, 就是吃喝自己的罪了.

11:30 Because of this, many are weak and sick among you, and quite a few have died.
因此, 在你们中间有好些软弱的与患病的, 死(原文是睡)的也不少.

11:31 But if we were evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.
我们若是先分辨自己, 就不至于受审.

11:32 But if we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, in order that we will not be condemned with the world.
我们受审的时候, 乃是被主惩治, 免得我们和世人一同定罪.

11:33 So then, my brothers, when you come together in order to eat the Lord’s supper, wait for one another.
所以我弟兄们, 你们聚会吃的时候, 要彼此等待.

11:34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And I will give directions about the remaining matters whenever I come.
若有人饥饿, 可以在家里先吃, 免得你们聚会, 自己取罪. 其余的事, 我来的时候再安排.

I Corinthians - Chapter 12

12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
弟兄们, 论到属灵的恩赐, 我不愿意你们不明白.

12:2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the speechless idols, however you were led.
你们作外邦人的时候, 随事被牵引, 受迷惑, 去服事那哑巴偶像, 这是你们知道的.

12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one is able to say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.
所以我告诉你们, 被神的灵感动的, 没有说“耶稣是可咒诅”的; 若不是被圣灵感动的, 也没有能说“耶稣是主”的.

12:4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,
恩赐原有分别, 圣灵却是一位.

12:5 and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord,
职事也有分别, 主却是一位.

12:6 and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all things in all people.
功用也有分别, 神却是一位, 在众人里面运行一切的事.

12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all.
圣灵显在各人身上, 是叫人得益处.

12:8 For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,
这人蒙圣灵赐他智慧的言语, 那人也蒙这位圣灵赐他知识的言语,

12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
又有一人蒙这位圣灵赐他信心, 还有一人蒙这位圣灵赐他医病的恩赐,

12:10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.
又叫一人能行异能, 又叫一人能作先知, 又叫一人能辨别诸灵, 又叫一人能说方言, 又叫一人能翻方言.

12:11 But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.
这一切都是这位圣灵所运行,随己意分给各人的.

12:12 For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they are many, are one body, thus also Christ.
就如身子是一个, 却有许多肢体; 而且肢体虽多, 仍是一个身子; 基督也是这样.

12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.
我们不拘是犹太人, 是希腊人, 是为奴的, 是自主的, 都从一位圣灵受洗, 成了一个身体, 饮于一位圣灵.

12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
身子原不是一个肢体, 乃是许多肢体.

12:15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” not because of this is it not a part of the body.
设若脚说: “我不是手, 所以不属乎身子, ”它不能因此就不属乎身子.

12:16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body, not because of this is it not a part of the body.
设若耳说: “我不是眼, 所以不属乎身子, ”它不能因此就不属乎身子.

12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
若全身是眼, 从哪里听声呢? 若全身是耳, 从哪里闻味呢?

12:18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted.
但如今, 神随自己的意思把肢体俱各安排在身上了.

12:19 And if they all were one member, where would the body be?
若都是一个肢体, 身子在哪里呢?

12:20 But now there are many members, but one body.
但如今肢体是多的, 身子却是一个.

12:21 Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, “I do not have need of you,” or again, the head to the feet, “I do not have need of you.”
眼不能对手说: “我用不著你. ”头也不能对脚说: “我用不著你. ”

12:22 But by much more the members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary,
不但如此, 身上肢体人以为软弱的, 更是不可少的.

12:23 and the parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor, and our unpresentable parts come to have more abundant presentability,
身上肢体, 我们看为不体面的, 越发给它加上体面; 不俊美的, 越发得着俊美.

12:24 but our presentable parts do not have need of this. Yet God composed the body by giving more abundant honor to the part which lacked it,
我们俊美的肢体, 自然用不著装饰; 但神配搭这身子, 把加倍的体面给那有缺欠的肢体,

12:25 in order that there not be a division in the body, but the members would have the same concern for one another.
免得身上分门别类, 总要肢体彼此相顾.

12:26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
若一个肢体受苦, 所有的肢体就一同受苦; 若一个肢体得荣耀, 所有的肢体就一同快乐.

12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of it individually,
你们就是基督的身子, 并且各自作肢体.

12:28 and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.
神在教会所设立的: 第一是使徒, 第二是先知, 第三是教师, 其次是行异能的, 再次是得恩赐医病的, 帮助人的, 治理事的, 说方言的.

12:29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all are workers of miracles, are they?
岂都是使徒吗? 岂都是先知吗? 岂都是教师吗? 岂都是行异能的吗?

12:30 Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak with tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?
岂都是得恩赐医病的吗? 岂都是说方言的吗? 岂都是翻方言的吗?

12:31 But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
你们要切切地求那更大的恩赐. 我现今把最妙的道指示你们.

I Corinthians - Chapter 13

13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a ringing brass gong or a clashing cymbal.
我若能说万人的方言, 并天使的话语, 却没有爱, 我就成了鸣的锣, 响的钹一般.

13:2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and I know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
我若有先知讲道之能, 也明白各样的奥祕, 各样的知识, 而且有全备的信, 叫我能够移山, 却没有爱, 我就算不得甚么.

13:3 And if I parcel out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body in order that I will be burned, but do not have love, it benefits me nothing.
我若将所有的赒济穷人, 又舍己身叫人焚烧, 却没有爱, 仍然与我无益.

13:4 Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited,
爱是恒久忍耐, 又有恩慈; 爱是不嫉妒; 爱是不自夸, 不张狂,

13:5 it does not behave dishonorably, it is not selfish, it does not become angry, it does not keep a record of wrongs,
不做害羞的事, 不求自己的益处, 不轻易发怒, 不计算人的恶,

13:6 it does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth,
不喜欢不义, 只喜欢真理;

13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
凡事包容, 凡事相信, 凡事盼望, 凡事忍耐.

13:8 Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will pass away. If there are tongues, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away.
爱是永不止息. 先知讲道之能终必归于无有; 说方言之能终必停止; 知识也终必归于无有.

13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
我们现在所知道的有限, 先知所讲的也有限,

13:10 but whenever the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
等那完全的来到, 这有限的必归于无有了.

13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside the things of a child.
我作孩子的时候, 话语像孩子, 心思像孩子, 意念像孩子, 既成了人, 就把孩子的事丢弃了.

13:12 For now we see through a mirror indirectly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know completely, just as I have also been completely known.
我们如今仿佛对着镜子观看, 模糊不清(原文是如同猜谜), 到那时就要面对面了. 我如今所知道的有限, 到那时就全知道, 如同主知道我一样.

13:13 And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
如今常存的有信, 有望, 有爱这三样, 其中最大的是爱.

I Corinthians - Chapter 14

14:1 Pursue love, and strive for spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
你们要追求爱, 也要切慕属灵的恩赐, 其中更要羡慕的, 是作先知讲道(原文作: 是说预言; 下同).

14:2 For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, because no one understands, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
那说方言的, 原不是对人说, 乃是对神说, 因为没有人听出来. 然而, 他在心灵里却是讲说各样的奥祕.

14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people edification and encouragement and consolation.
但作先知讲道的, 是对人说, 要造就,安慰,劝勉人.

14:4 The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.
说方言的, 是造就自己; 作先知讲道的, 乃是造就教会.

14:5 Now I want you all to speak with tongues, but even more that you may prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, in order that the church may receive edification.
我愿意你们都说方言, 更愿意你们作先知讲道; 因为说方言的, 若不翻出来, 使教会被造就, 那作先知讲道的, 就比他强了.

14:6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, how do I benefit you, unless I speak to you either with a revelation or with knowledge or with a prophecy or with a teaching?
弟兄们, 我到你们那里去, 若只说方言, 不用启示, 或知识, 或预言, 或教训, 给你们讲解, 我与你们有甚么益处呢?

14:7 Likewise, the inanimate things which produce a sound, whether flute or lyre, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the lyre?
就是那有声无气的物, 或箫, 或琴, 若发出来的声音没有分别, 怎能知道所吹所弹的是甚么呢?

14:8 For indeed, if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare for battle?
若吹无定的号声, 谁能预备打仗呢?

14:9 And so you through the tongue, unless you produce a clear message, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.
你们也是如此. 舌头若不说容易明白的话, 怎能知道所说的是甚么呢? 这就是向空说话了.

14:10 There are probably so many kinds of languages in the world, and none without meaning.
世上的声音, 或者甚多, 却没有一样是无意思的.

14:11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a barbarian to the one who is speaking, and the one who is speaking will be a barbarian in my judgment.
我若不明白那声音的意思, 这说话的人必以我为化外之人, 我也以他为化外之人.

14:12 In this way also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek for the edification of the church, in order that you may abound.
你们也是如此, 既是切慕属灵的恩赐, 就当求多得造就教会的恩赐.

14:13 Therefore the one who speaks in a tongue must pray that he may interpret.
所以那说方言的, 就当求著能翻出来.

14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive.
我若用方言祷告, 是我的灵祷告, 但我的悟性没有果效.

14:15 Therefore what should I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will also sing praise with my mind.
这却怎么样呢? 我要用灵祷告, 也要用悟性祷告; 我要用灵歌唱, 也要用悟性歌唱.

14:16 For otherwise, if you praise in your spirit, how will the one who fills the place of the outsider say the “amen” at your thanksgiving, because he does not know what you are saying?
不然, 你用灵祝谢, 那在座不通方言的人, 既然不明白你的话, 怎能在你感谢的时候说“阿们”呢?

14:17 For indeed you are giving thanks well, but the other person is not edified.
你感谢的固然是好, 无奈不能造就别人.

14:18 I give thanks to God that I speak with tongues more than all of you,
我感谢神, 我说方言比你们众人还多.

14:19 but in the church I prefer to speak five words with my mind, in order that I may instruct other people, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
但在教会中, 宁可用悟性说五句教导人的话, 强如说万句方言.

14:20 Brothers, do not become children in your understanding, but with respect to wickedness be as a child, and in your understanding be mature.
弟兄们, 在心志上不要作小孩子. 然而, 在恶事上要作婴孩, 在心志上总要作大人.

14:21 In the law it is written: “By those who speak a foreign language and by the lips of others I will speak to this people, and not even in this way will they obey me,” says the Lord.
律法上记着: 主说: 我要用外邦人的舌头和外邦人的嘴唇向这百姓说话; 虽然如此, 他们还是不听从我.

14:22 So then, tongues are for a sign not to those who believe, but to unbelievers, but prophecy is not for unbelievers, but for those who believe.
这样看来, 说方言不是为信的人作证据, 乃是为不信的人; 作先知讲道不是为不信的人作证据, 乃是为信的人.

14:23 Therefore, if the whole church comes together at the same time and all speak with tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?
所以, 全教会聚在一处的时候, 若都说方言, 偶然有不通方言的, 或是不信的人进来, 岂不说你们癫狂了吗?

14:24 But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all,
若都作先知讲道, 偶然有不信的, 或是不通方言的人进来, 就被众人劝醒, 被众人审明,

14:25 the secret things of his heart become evident, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, proclaiming, “God is truly among you!”
他心里的隐情显露出来, 就必将脸伏地, 敬拜神, 说: “神真是在你们中间了. ”

14:26 Therefore what should you do, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All things must be done for edification.
弟兄们, 这却怎么样呢? 你们聚会的时候, 各人或有诗歌, 或有教训, 或有启示, 或有方言, 或有翻出来的话, 凡事都当造就人.

14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it must be on one occasion two or at most three, and one after the other, and one must interpret.
若有说方言的, 只好两个人, 至多三个人, 且要轮流著说, 也要一个人翻出来.

14:28 But if there is no interpreter, he must be silent in the church, but let him speak to himself and to God.
若没有人翻, 就当在会中闭口, 只对自己和神说就是了.

14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and the others evaluate.
至于作先知讲道的, 只好两个人或是三个人, 其余的就当慎思明辨.

14:30 And if something is revealed to another who is seated, the first must be silent.
若旁边坐着的得了启示, 那先说话的就当闭口不言.

14:31 For you are all able to prophesy in turn, in order that all may learn and all may be encouraged,
因为你们都可以一个一个地作先知讲道, 叫众人学道理, 叫众人得劝勉.

14:32 and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
先知的灵原是顺服先知的;

14:33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
因为神不是叫人混乱, 乃是叫人安静.

14:34 the women must be silent in the churches, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but they must be in submission, just as the law also says.
妇女在会中要闭口不言, 像在圣徒的众教会一样, 因为不准她们说话. 她们总要顺服, 正如律法所说的.

14:35 But if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
她们若要学甚么, 可以在家里问自己的丈夫, 因为妇女在会中说话原是可耻的.

14:36 Or has the word of God gone out from you, or has it come to you only?
神的道理岂是从你们出来吗? 岂是单临到你们吗?

14:37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that the things which I am writing to you are of the Lord.
若有人以为自己是先知, 或是属灵的, 就该知道, 我所写给你们的是主的命令.

14:38 But if anyone ignores this, he is ignored.
若有不知道的, 就由他不知道吧!

14:39 So then, my brothers, desire to prophesy, and do not prevent speaking with tongues.
所以我弟兄们, 你们要切慕作先知讲道, 也不要禁止说方言.

14:40 But let all things be done decently and according to proper procedure.
凡事都要规规矩矩地按著次序行.

I Corinthians - Chapter 15

15:1 Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I proclaimed to you, which you have also received, in which you also stand,
弟兄们, 我如今把先前所传给你们的福音告诉你们知道; 这福音你们也领受了, 又靠着站立得住,

15:2 by which you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the message I proclaimed to you, unless you believed to no purpose.
并且你们若不是徒然相信, 能以持守我所传给你们的, 就必因这福音得救.

15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
我当日所领受又传给你们的: 第一, 就是基督照圣经所说, 为我们的罪死了,

15:4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures,
而且埋葬了; 又照圣经所说, 第三天复活了,

15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,
并且显给矶法看, 然后显给十二使徒看;

15:6 then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, the majority of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.
后来一时显给五百多弟兄看, 其中一大半到如今还在, 却也有已经睡了的.

15:7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
以后显给雅各看, 再显给众使徒看,

15:8 and last of all, as it were to one born at the wrong time, he appeared also to me.
末了也显给我看; 我如同未到产期而生的人一般.

15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
我原是使徒中最小的, 不配称为使徒, 因为我从前逼迫神的教会.

15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me.
然而, 我今日成了何等人, 是蒙神的恩才成的, 并且他所赐我的恩不是徒然的. 我比众使徒格外劳苦; 这原不是我, 乃是神的恩与我同在.

15:11 Therefore whether I or those, in this way we preached, and in this way you believed.
不拘是我, 是众使徒, 我们如此传, 你们也如此信了.

15:12 Now if Christ is preached as raised up from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
既传基督是从死里复活了, 怎么在你们中间有人说没有死人复活的事呢?

15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised either.
若没有死人复活的事, 基督也就没有复活了.

15:14 But if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain.
若基督没有复活, 我们所传的便是枉然, 你们所信的也是枉然;

15:15 And also we are found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if after all, then, the dead are not raised.
并且明显我们是为神妄作见证的, 因我们见证神是叫基督复活了. 若死人真不复活, 神也就没有叫基督复活了.

15:16 For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised either.
因为死人若不复活, 基督也就没有复活了.

15:17 But if Christ has not been raised, your faith is empty; you are still in your sins.
基督若没有复活, 你们的信便是徒然, 你们仍在罪里.

15:18 And as a further result, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
就是在基督里睡了的人也灭亡了.

15:19 If we have put our hope in Christ in this life only, we are of all people most pitiable.
我们若靠基督只在今生有指望, 就算比众人更可怜.

15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
但基督已经从死里复活, 成为睡了之人初熟的果子.

15:21 For since through a man came death, also through a man came the resurrection of the dead.
死既是因一人而来, 死人复活也是因一人而来.

15:22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
在亚当里众人都死了; 照样, 在基督里众人也都要复活.

15:23 But each in his own group: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming,
但各人是按著自己的次序复活: 初熟的果子是基督; 以后, 在他来的时候, 是那些属基督的.

15:24 then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power.
再后, 末期到了, 那时基督既将一切执政的,掌权的,有能的都毁灭了, 就把国交与父神.

15:25 For it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
因为基督必要作王, 等神把一切仇敌都放在他的脚下.

15:26 The last enemy to be abolished is death.
尽末了所毁灭的仇敌就是死.

15:27 For “he subjected all things under his feet.” But when it says “all things” are subjected, it is clear that the one who subjected all things to him is not included.
因为经上说: “神叫万物都服在他的脚下. ”既说万物都服了他, 明显那叫万物服他的, 不在其内了.

15:28 But whenever all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the one who subjected all things to him, in order that God may be all in all.
万物既服了他, 那时子也要自己服那叫万物服他的, 叫神在万物之上, 为万物之主.

15:29 Otherwise, why do they do it, those who are being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why indeed are they being baptized on behalf of them?
不然, 那些为死人受洗的, 将来怎样呢? 若死人总不复活, 因何为他们受洗呢?

15:30 And why are we in danger every hour?
我们又因何时刻冒险呢?

15:31 I die every day—yes indeed, by my boasting in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord!
弟兄们, 我在我主基督耶稣里, 指著你们所夸的口极力地说, 我是天天冒死.

15:32 If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit is it to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
我若当日像寻常人, 在以弗所同野兽战斗, 那于我有甚么益处呢? 若死人不复活, 我们就吃吃喝喝吧! 因为明天要死了.

15:33 Do not be deceived! “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
你们不要自欺; 滥交是败坏善行.

15:34 Sober up correctly and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God—I say this to your shame.
你们要醒悟为善, 不要犯罪, 因为有人不认识神. 我说这话是要叫你们羞愧.

15:35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what sort of body do they come?”
或有人问: “死人怎样复活, 带着甚么身体来呢? ”

15:36 Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
无知的人哪, 你所种的, 若不死就不能生.

15:37 And what you sow is not the body which it will become, but you sow the bare seed, whether perhaps of wheat or of some of the rest.
并且你所种的不是那将来的形体, 不过是子粒, 即如麦子, 或是别样的谷.

15:38 But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.
但神随自己的意思给他一个形体, 并叫各等子粒各有自己的形体.

15:39 Not all flesh is the same, but there is one flesh of human beings, and another flesh of animals, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish,
凡肉体各有不同: 人是一样, 兽又是一样, 鸟又是一样, 鱼又是一样.

15:40 and heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly bodies is of another kind.
有天上的形体, 也有地上的形体; 但天上形体的荣光是一样, 地上形体的荣光又是一样.

15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory.
日有日的荣光, 月有月的荣光, 星有星的荣光; 这星和那星的荣光也有分别.

15:42 Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility.
死人复活也是这样: 所种的是必朽坏的, 复活的是不朽坏的;

15:43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.
所种的是羞辱的, 复活的是荣耀的; 所种的是软弱的, 复活的是强壮的;

15:44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
所种的是血气的身体, 复活的是灵性的身体. 若有血气的身体, 也必有灵性的身体.

15:45 Thus also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
经上也是这样记着说: “首先的人亚当成了有灵(灵: 或译血气)的活人”; 末后的亚当成了叫人活的灵.

15:46 But the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.
但属灵的不在先, 属血气的在先, 以后才有属灵的.

15:47 The first man is from the earth, made of earth; the second man is from heaven.
头一个人是出于地, 乃属土; 第二个人是出于天.

15:48 As the one who is made of earth, so also are those who are made of earth, and as the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly.
那属土的怎样, 凡属土的也就怎样; 属天的怎样, 凡属天的也就怎样.

15:49 And just as we have borne the image of the one who is made of earth, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
我们既有属土的形状, 将来也必有属天的形状.

15:50 But I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruptibility.
弟兄们, 我告诉你们说, 血肉之体不能承受神的国, 必朽坏的不能承受不朽坏的.

15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: we will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,
我如今把一件奥祕的事告诉你们: 我们不是都要睡觉, 乃是都要改变,

15:52 in a moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
就在一霎时, 眨眼之间, 号筒末次吹响的时候. 因号筒要响, 死人要复活成为不朽坏的, 我们也要改变.

15:53 For it is necessary for this perishable body to put on incorruptibility, and this mortal body to put on immortality.
这必朽坏的总要变成(变成: 原文是穿; 下同)不朽坏的, 这必死的总要变成不死的.

15:54 But whenever this perishable body puts on incorruptibility and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: “Death is swallowed up in victory.
这必朽坏的既变成不朽坏的, 这必死的既变成不死的, 那时经上所记“死被得胜吞灭”的话就应验了.

15:55 Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?
死啊! 你得胜的权势在哪里? 死啊! 你的毒钩在哪里?

15:56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
死的毒钩就是罪, 罪的权势就是律法.

15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
感谢神, 使我们藉著我们的主耶稣基督得胜.

15:58 So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
所以, 我亲爱的弟兄们, 你们务要坚固, 不可摇动, 常常竭力多做主工; 因为知道, 你们的劳苦在主里面不是徒然的.

I Corinthians - Chapter 16

16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: just as I gave directions about it to the churches of Galatia, so you do also.
论到为圣徒捐钱, 我从前怎样吩咐加拉太的众教会, 你们也当怎样行.

16:2 On the first day of the week, each one of you put aside something, saving up to whatever extent he has prospered, in order that whenever I come, at that time collections do not take place.
每逢七日的第一日, 各人要照自己的进项抽出来留着, 免得我来的时候现凑.

16:3 And whenever I arrive, whomever you approve by letters, I will send these to take your gift to Jerusalem.
及至我来到了, 你们写信举荐谁, 我就打发他们, 把你们的捐资送到耶路撒冷去.

16:4 And if it is worthwhile for me to go also, they will travel with me.
若我也该去, 他们可以和我同去.

16:5 But I will come to you whenever I go through Macedonia (for I am going through Macedonia),
我要从马其顿经过; 既经过了, 就要到你们那里去,

16:6 and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.
或者和你们同住几时, 或者也过冬. 无论我往哪里去, 你们就可以给我送行.

16:7 For I do not want to see you now in passing, for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord allows it.
我如今不愿意路过见你们; 主若许我, 我就指望和你们同住几时.

16:8 But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost,
但我要仍旧住在以弗所, 直等到五旬节;

16:9 for a great and effective door has opened for me, and there are many opponents.
因为有宽大又有功效的门为我开了, 并且反对的人也多.

16:10 But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to fear, for he is carrying out the Lord’s work, as I also am.
若是提摩太来到, 你们要留心, 叫他在你们那里无所惧怕; 因为他劳力做主的工, 像我一样.

16:11 Therefore do not let anyone disdain him, but send him on his way in peace in order that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
所以, 无论谁都不可藐视他, 只要送他平安前行, 叫他到我这里来, 因我指望他和弟兄们同来.

16:12 Now concerning Apollos our brother, I urged him many times that he should come to you with the brothers, and he was not at all willing that he should come now, but he will come whenever he has an opportunity.
至于兄弟亚波罗, 我再三地劝他同弟兄们到你们那里去; 但这时他决不愿意去, 几时有了机会他必去.

16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act courageously, be strong.
你们务要警醒, 在真道上站立得稳, 要作大丈夫, 要刚强.

16:14 All your actions must be done in love.
凡你们所做的都要凭爱心而做.

16:15 Now I urge you, brothers—you know about the household of Stephanas, that they are the first fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the ministry for the saints—
弟兄们, 你们晓得司提法那一家, 是亚该亚初结的果子, 并且他们专以服事圣徒为念.

16:16 that you also be subject to such people, and to all those who work together and labor.
我劝你们顺服这样的人, 并一切同工同劳的人.

16:17 Now I rejoice over the arrival of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these make up for your absence,
司提法那和福徒拿都, 并亚该古到这里来, 我很喜欢; 因为你们待我有不及之处, 他们补上了.

16:18 for they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such people.
他们叫我和你们心里都快活. 这样的人, 你们务要敬重.

16:19 The churches of the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you in the Lord many times, together with the church in their house.
亚细亚的众教会问你们安. 亚居拉和百基拉并在他们家里的教会, 因主多多地问你们安.

16:20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
众弟兄都问你们安. 你们要亲嘴问安, 彼此务要圣洁.

16:21 The greeting is by my hand—Paul’s.
我─保罗亲笔问安.

16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
若有人不爱主, 这人可诅可咒. 主必要来!

16:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
愿主耶稣基督的恩常与你们众人同在!

16:24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
我在基督耶稣里的爱与你们众人同在. 阿们!

II Corinthians (歌林多后书)

II Corinthians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in all Achaia.
奉神旨意作基督耶稣使徒的保罗和兄弟提摩太, 写信给在哥林多神的教会, 并亚该亚遍处的众圣徒.

1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠,平安从神我们的父和主耶稣基督归与你们!

1:3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
愿颂赞归与我们的主耶稣基督的父神, 就是发慈悲的父, 赐各样安慰的神.

1:4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in all affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
我们在一切患难中, 他就安慰我们, 叫我们能用神所赐的安慰去安慰那遭各样患难的人.

1:5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, thus through Christ our comfort overflows also.
我们既多受基督的苦楚, 就靠基督多得安慰.

1:6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort that is at work in the patient endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.
我们受患难呢, 是为叫你们得安慰, 得拯救; 我们得安慰呢, 也是为叫你们得安慰; 这安慰能叫你们忍受我们所受的那样苦楚.

1:7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that as you are sharers in the sufferings, so also you will be sharers in the comfort.
我们为你们所存的盼望是确定的, 因为知道你们既是同受苦楚, 也必同得安慰.

1:8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning our affliction that happened in the province of Asia, that we were burdened to an extraordinary degree, beyond our strength, so that we were in despair even of living.
弟兄们, 我们不要你们不晓得, 我们从前在亚细亚遭遇苦难, 被压太重, 力不能胜, 甚至连活命的指望都绝了;

1:9 But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we would not be putting confidence in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
自己心里也断定是必死的, 叫我们不靠自己, 只靠叫死人复活的神.

1:10 who delivered us from so great a risk of death, and will deliver us, in whom we have put our hope that he will also deliver us again,
他曾救我们脱离那极大的死亡, 现在仍要救我们, 并且我们指望他将来还要救我们.

1:11 while you also join in helping on our behalf by prayer, so that thanks may be given on our behalf by many persons for this gracious gift given to us through the help of many.
你们以祈祷帮助我们, 好叫许多人为我们谢恩, 就是为我们因许多人所得的恩.

1:12 For our reason for boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, in holiness and purity of motive from God, not in merely human wisdom, but by the grace of God.
我们所夸的是自己的良心, 见证我们凭著神的圣洁和诚实; 在世为人不靠人的聪明, 乃靠神的恩惠, 向你们更是这样.

1:13 For we are not writing anything else to you except what you can read or also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely,
我们现在写给你们的话, 并不外乎你们所念的,所认识的, 我也盼望你们到底还是要认识;

1:14 just as you have also understood us in part, that we are your reason for boasting, just as you are also ours in the day of our Lord Jesus.
正如你们已经有几分认识我们, 以我们夸口, 好像我们在我们主耶稣的日子以你们夸口一样.

1:15 And with this confidence, I was wanting to come to you previously, in order that you may have a second proof of my goodwill,
我既然这样深信, 就早有意到你们那里去, 叫你们再得益处;

1:16 and through you to go to Macedonia, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent on my way by you to Judea.
也要从你们那里经过, 往马其顿去, 再从马其顿回到你们那里, 叫你们给我送行往犹太去.

1:17 Therefore, when I was wanting to do this, perhaps then was I making use of vacillation? Or was I deciding what I was deciding according to the flesh, in order that with me my “yes” may be “yes” and my “no” may be “no” at the same time?
我有此意, 岂是反复不定吗? 我所起的意, 岂是从情欲起的, 叫我忽是忽非吗?

1:18 But God is faithful, so that our word to you is not “yes” and “no.”
我指著信实的神说, 我们向你们所传的道, 并没有是而又非的.

1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, did not become “yes” and “no,” but has become “yes” in him.
因为我和西拉并提摩太, 在你们中间所传神的儿子耶稣基督, 总没有是而又非的, 在他只有一是.

1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, in him they are “yes”; therefore also through him is the “amen” to the glory of God through us.
神的应许, 不论有多少, 在基督都是是的. 所以藉著他也都是实在(实在: 原文是阿们)的, 叫神因我们得荣耀.

1:21 Now the one who establishes us together with you in Christ and who anoints us is God,
那在基督里坚固我们和你们, 并且膏我们的就是神.

1:22 who also sealed us and gave the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
他又用印印了我们, 并赐圣灵在我们心里作凭据(原文是质).

1:23 But I call upon God as witness against my life, that in order to spare you, I did not come again to Corinth.
我呼吁神给我的心作见证, 我没有往哥林多去是为要宽容你们.

1:24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.
我们并不是辖管你们的信心, 乃是帮助你们的快乐, 因为你们凭信才站立得住.

II Corinthians - Chapter 2

2:1 For I have decided this for myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.
我自己定了主意再到你们那里去, 必须大家没有忧愁.

2:2 For if I cause you sorrow, then who will make me glad except the one who is caused to be sad by me?
倘若我叫你们忧愁, 除了我叫那忧愁的人以外, 谁能叫我快乐呢?

2:3 And I wrote this very thing in order that when I came, I would not experience sorrow from those who ought to have made me glad, because I have confidence about you all, that my joy belongs to all of you.
我曾把这事写给你们, 恐怕我到的时候, 应该叫我快乐的那些人, 反倒叫我忧愁. 我也深信, 你们众人都以我的快乐为自己的快乐.

2:4 For out of great distress and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not so that you may be caused to be sad, but so that you may know the love that I have especially for you.
我先前心里难过痛苦, 多多地流泪, 写信给你们, 不是叫你们忧愁, 乃是叫你们知道我格外地疼爱你们.

2:5 But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused me sorrow, but to some degree—in order not to say too much—to all of you.
若有叫人忧愁的, 他不但叫我忧愁, 也是叫你们众人有几分忧愁. 我说几分, 恐怕说得太重.

2:6 This punishment by the majority is sufficient for such a person.
这样的人受了众人的责罚也就够了,

2:7 So then, you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest somehow this person should be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
倒不如赦免他, 安慰他, 免得他忧愁太过, 甚至沉沦了.

2:8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love for him.
所以我劝你们, 要向他显出坚定不移的爱心来.

2:9 Because for this reason also I wrote, in order that I could know your proven character, whether you are obedient in everything.
为此我先前也写信给你们, 要试验你们, 看你们凡事顺从不顺从.

2:10 Now to whomever you forgive anything, I also do; for indeed, whatever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sake in the presence of Christ,
你们赦免谁, 我也赦免谁. 我若有所赦免的, 是在基督面前为你们赦免的,

2:11 in order that we may not be exploited by Satan (for we are not ignorant of his schemes).
免得撒但趁著机会胜过我们, 因我们并非不晓得他的诡计.

2:12 Now when I arrived in Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was opened for me by the Lord,
我从前为基督的福音到了特罗亚, 主也给我开了门.

2:13 I did not experience rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother, but saying farewell to them, I departed for Macedonia.
那时, 因为没有遇见兄弟提多, 我心里不安, 便辞别那里的人往马其顿去了.

2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ, and who reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of him through us in every place.
感谢神! 常率领我们在基督里夸胜, 并藉著我们在各处显扬那因认识基督而有的香气.

2:15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
因为我们在神面前, 无论在得救的人身上或灭亡的人身上, 都有基督馨香之气.

2:16 to those on the one hand an odor from death to death, and to those on the other hand a fragrance from life to life. And who is qualified for these things?
在这等人, 就作了死的香气叫他死; 在那等人, 就作了活的香气叫他活. 这事谁能当得起呢?

2:17 For we are not like the majority who peddle the word of God, but as from pure motives—but as from God—we speak before God in Christ.
我们不像那许多人, 为利混乱神的道; 乃是由于诚实, 由于神, 在神面前凭著基督讲道.

II Corinthians - Chapter 3

3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we, like some, need letters of recommendation to you or from you?
我们岂是又举荐自己吗? 岂像别人用人的荐信给你们或用你们的荐信给人吗?

3:2 You are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by all people,
你们就是我们的荐信, 写在我们的心里, 被众人所知道所念诵的.

3:3 revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.
你们明显是基督的信, 藉著我们修成的. 不是用墨写的, 乃是用永生神的灵写的; 不是写在石版上, 乃是写在心版上.

3:4 Now we possess such confidence through Christ toward God.
我们因基督, 所以在神面前才有这样的信心.

3:5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
并不是我们凭自己能承担甚么事; 我们所能承担的, 乃是出于神.

3:6 who also makes us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
他叫我们能承当这新约的执事, 不是凭著字句, 乃是凭著精意; 因为那字句是叫人死, 精意(或译: 圣灵)是叫人活.

3:7 But if the ministry of death in letters carved on stone came with glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look intently into the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, which was transitory,
那用字刻在石头上属死的职事尚且有荣光, 甚至以色列人因摩西面上的荣光, 不能定睛看他的脸; 这荣光原是渐渐退去的,

3:8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be even more with glory?
何况那属灵的职事岂不更有荣光吗?

3:9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, by much more will the ministry of righteousness overflow with glory.
若是定罪的职事有荣光, 那称义的职事荣光就越发大了.

3:10 For indeed what had been glorified has not been glorified in this case, on account of the glory that surpasses it.
那从前有荣光的, 因这极大的荣光就算不得有荣光了;

3:11 For if what was transitory came with glory, by much more what remains is with glory.
若那废掉的有荣光, 这长存的就更有荣光了.

3:12 Therefore, because we have such a hope, we use much boldness,
我们既有这样的盼望, 就大胆讲说,

3:13 and not as Moses used to place a veil over his face, in order that the sons of Israel would not stare at the end of what was transitory.
不像摩西将帕子蒙在脸上, 叫以色列人不能定睛看到那将废者的结局.

3:14 But their minds were hardened. For until this very day, the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, not being uncovered, because it is done away with in Christ.
但他们的心地刚硬, 直到今日诵读旧约的时候, 这帕子还没有揭去. 这帕子在基督里已经废去了.

3:15 But until today, whenever Moses is read aloud, a veil lies upon their heart,
然而直到今日, 每逢诵读摩西书的时候, 帕子还在他们心上.

3:16 but whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
但他们的心几时归向主, 帕子就几时除去了.

3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
主就是那灵; 主的灵在哪里, 那里就得以自由.

3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory into glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
我们众人既然敞着脸得以看见主的荣光, 好像从镜子里返照, 就变成主的形状, 荣上加荣, 如同从主的灵变成的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 4

4:1 Because of this, since we have this ministry, just as we have been shown mercy, we do not lose heart,
我们既然蒙怜悯, 受了这职分, 就不丧胆,

4:2 but we have renounced shameful hidden things, not behaving with craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but with the open proclamation of the truth commending ourselves to every person’s conscience before God.
乃将那些暗昧可耻的事弃绝了; 不行诡诈, 不谬讲神的道理, 只将真理表明出来, 好在神面前把自己荐与各人的良心.

4:3 But if indeed our gospel is veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing,
如果我们的福音蒙蔽, 就是蒙蔽在灭亡的人身上.

4:4 among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they would not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
此等不信之人被这世界的神弄瞎了心眼, 不叫基督荣耀福音的光照著他们. 基督本是神的像.

4:5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus.
我们原不是传自己, 乃是传基督耶稣为主, 并且自己因耶稣作你们的仆人.

4:6 For God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” is the one who has shined in our hearts for the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
那吩咐光从黑暗里照出来的神, 已经照在我们心里, 叫我们得知神荣耀的光显在耶稣基督的面上.

4:7 But we have this treasure in earthenware jars, in order that the extraordinary degree of the power may be from God and not from us.
我们有这宝贝放在瓦器里, 要显明这莫大的能力是出于神, 不是出于我们.

4:8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
我们四面受敌, 却不被困住; 心里作难, 却不至失望;

4:9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;
遭逼迫, 却不被丢弃; 打倒了, 却不至死亡.

4:10 always carrying around the death of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
身上常带着耶稣的死, 使耶稣的生也显明在我们身上.

4:11 For we who are alive are continually being handed over to death because of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh.
因为我们这活着的人是常为耶稣被交于死地, 使耶稣的生在我们这必死的身上显明出来.

4:12 So then, death is at work in us, but life in you.
这样看来, 死是在我们身上发动, 生却在你们身上发动.

4:13 But because we have the same spirit of faith in accordance with what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,
但我们既有信心, 正如经上记着说: “我因信, 所以如此说话. ”我们也信, 所以也说话.

4:14 because we know that the one who raised Jesus will also raise us together with Jesus and present us together with you.
自己知道那叫主耶稣复活的, 也必叫我们与耶稣一同复活, 并且叫我们与你们一同站在他面前.

4:15 For all these things are for your sake, in order that the grace that is increasing through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
凡事都是为你们, 好叫恩惠因人多越发加增, 感谢格外显多, 以致荣耀归与神.

4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outer person is being destroyed, yet our inner person is being renewed day after day.
所以, 我们不丧胆. 外体虽然毁坏, 内心却一天新似一天.

4:17 For our momentary light affliction is producing in us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure and proportion,
我们这至暂至轻的苦楚, 要为我们成就极重无比,永远的荣耀.

4:18 because we are not looking at what is seen, but what is not seen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is not seen is eternal.
原来我们不是顾念所见的, 乃是顾念所不见的; 因为所见的是暂时的, 所不见的是永远的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 5

5:1 For we know that if our earthly house, the tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.
我们原知道, 我们这地上的帐棚若拆毁了, 必得神所造, 不是人手所造, 在天上永存的房屋.

5:2 For indeed, in this house we groan, because we desire to put on our dwelling from heaven,
我们在这帐棚里叹息, 深想得那从天上来的房屋, 好像穿上衣服;

5:3 if indeed, even after we have taken it off, we will not be found naked.
倘若穿上, 被遇见的时候就不至于赤身了.

5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent groan, being burdened for this reason, that we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
我们在这帐棚里叹息劳苦, 并非愿意脱下这个, 乃是愿意穿上那个, 好叫这必死的被生命吞灭了.

5:5 Now the one who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the down payment, the Spirit.
为此, 培植我们的就是神, 他又赐给我们圣灵作凭据(原文是质).

5:6 Therefore, although we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—
所以, 我们时常坦然无惧, 并且晓得我们住在身内, 便与主相离.

5:7 for we live by faith, not by sight—
因我们行事为人是凭著信心, 不是凭著眼见.

5:8 so we are confident and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
我们坦然无惧, 是更愿意离开身体与主同住.

5:9 Therefore indeed we have as our ambition, whether at home in the body or absent from the body, to be acceptable to him.
所以, 无论是住在身内, 离开身外, 我们立了志向, 要得主的喜悦.

5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, in order that each one may receive back the things through the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
因为我们众人必要在基督台前显露出来, 叫各人按著本身所行的, 或善或恶受报.

5:11 Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we are attempting to persuade people, but we are revealed to God, and I hope to be revealed in your consciences.
我们既知道主是可畏的, 所以劝人. 但我们在神面前是显明的, 盼望在你们的良心里也是显明的.

5:12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to boast about us, in order that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
我们不是向你们再举荐自己, 乃是叫你们因我们有可夸之处, 好对那凭外貌不凭内心夸口的人, 有言可答.

5:13 For if we are out of our senses, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
我们若果颠狂, 是为神; 若果谨守, 是为你们.

5:14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one died for all; as a result all died.
原来基督的爱激励我们; 因我们想, 一人既替众人死, 众人就都死了;

5:15 And he died for all, in order that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.
并且他替众人死, 是叫那些活着的人不再为自己活, 乃为替他们死而复活的主活.

5:16 So then, from now on we know no one from a human point of view, if indeed we have known Christ from a human point of view, but now we know him this way no longer.
所以, 我们从今以后, 不凭著外貌(原文是肉体; 本节同)认人了. 虽然凭著外貌认过基督, 如今却不再这样认他了.

5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
若有人在基督里, 他就是新造的人, 旧事已过, 都变成新的了.

5:18 And all these things are from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
一切都是出于神; 他藉著基督使我们与他和好, 又将劝人与他和好的职分赐给我们.

5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
这就是神在基督里, 叫世人与自己和好, 不将他们的过犯归到他们身上, 并且将这和好的道理托付了我们.

5:20 Therefore we are ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as if God were imploring you through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
所以, 我们作基督的使者, 就好像神藉我们劝你们一般. 我们替基督求你们与神和好.

5:21 He made the one who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, in order that we could become the righteousness of God in him.
神使那无罪(无罪: 原文是不知罪)的, 替我们成为罪, 好叫我们在他里面成为神的义.

II Corinthians - Chapter 6

6:1 Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
我们与神同工的, 也劝你们不可徒受他的恩典.

6:2 For he says, “At the acceptable time I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation!
因为他说: “在悦纳的时候, 我应允了你; 在拯救的日子, 我搭救了你. ”看哪, 现在正是悦纳的时候! 现在正是拯救的日子;

6:3 We are giving no one an occasion for taking offense in anything, in order that our ministry will not have fault found with it,
我们凡事都不叫人有妨碍, 免得这职分被人毁谤;

6:4 but commending ourselves as servants of God in every way, in much endurance, in afflictions, in distresses, in difficulties,
反倒在各样的事上表明自己是神的用人, 就如在许多的忍耐,患难,穷乏,困苦,

6:5 in beatings, in prisons, in disturbances, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in going hungry,
鞭打,监禁,扰乱,勤劳,警醒,不食,

6:6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love without hypocrisy,
廉洁,知识,恒忍,恩慈,圣灵的感化,无伪的爱心,

6:7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and left hand,
真实的道理,神的大能; 仁义的兵器在左在右;

6:8 through glory and dishonor, through slander and good repute, regarded as deceivers and yet truthful,
荣耀,羞辱, 恶名,美名; 似乎是诱惑人的, 却是诚实的;

6:9 as unknown and yet known completely, as dying, and behold, we go on living, as disciplined, and yet not put to death,
似乎不为人所知, 却是人所共知的; 似乎要死, 却是活着的; 似乎受责罚, 却是不至丧命的;

6:10 as grieving, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and possessing everything.
似乎忧愁, 却是常常快乐的; 似乎贫穷, 却是叫许多人富足的; 似乎一无所有, 却是样样都有的.

6:11 We have spoken freely and openly to you, Corinthians; our heart is open wide.
哥林多人哪, 我们向你们, 口是张开的, 心是宽宏的.

6:12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your affections.
你们狭窄, 原不在乎我们, 是在乎自己的心肠狭窄.

6:13 Now the same way in exchange (I am speaking as to children), you open wide your hearts also.
你们也要照样用宽宏的心报答我. 我这话正像对自己的孩子说的.

6:14 Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
你们和不信的原不相配, 不要同负一轭. 义和不义有甚么相交呢? 光明和黑暗有甚么相通呢?

6:15 And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what share does a believer have with an unbeliever?
基督和彼列(彼列就是撒但的别名)有甚么相和呢? 信主的和不信主的有甚么相干呢?

6:16 And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them and will walk about among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.”
神的殿和偶像有甚么相同呢? 因为我们是永生神的殿, 就如神曾说: 我要在他们中间居住, 在他们中间来往; 我要作他们的神; 他们要作我的子民.

6:17 Therefore “come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord, “and do not touch what is unclean, and I will welcome you,
又说: 你们务要从他们中间出来, 与他们分别; 不要沾不洁净的物, 我就收纳你们.

6:18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me,” says the all-powerful Lord.
我要作你们的父; 你们要作我的儿女. 这是全能的主说的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 7

7:1 Therefore since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of body and spirit, accomplishing holiness in the fear of God.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我们既有这等应许, 就当洁净自己, 除去身体,灵魂一切的污秽, 敬畏神, 得以成圣.

7:2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have defrauded no one.
你们要心地宽大收纳我们. 我们未曾亏负谁, 未曾败坏谁, 未曾占谁的便宜.

7:3 I do not say this to condemn you, because I have already said that you are in our hearts, so that we die together and we live together.
我说这话, 不是要定你们的罪. 我已经说过, 你们常在我们心里, 情愿与你们同生同死.

7:4 Great is my confidence toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf; I am filled with encouragement; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.
我大大地放胆, 向你们说话; 我因你们多多夸口, 满得安慰; 我们在一切患难中分外地快乐.

7:5 For even when we arrived in Macedonia, our body had no rest, but we were afflicted in every way—quarrels outside, fears within.
我们从前就是到了马其顿的时候, 身体也不得安宁, 周围遭患难, 外有争战, 内有惧怕.

7:6 But God, who comforts the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
但那安慰丧气之人的神藉著提多来安慰了我们;

7:7 and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted among you, because he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.
不但藉著他来, 也藉著他从你们所得的安慰, 安慰了我们; 因他把你们的想念,哀恸, 和向我的热心, 都告诉了我, 叫我更加欢喜.

7:8 For if indeed I grieved you by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I did regret it (I see that that letter grieved you, even though for a short time),
我先前写信叫你们忧愁, 我后来虽然懊悔, 如今却不懊悔; 因我知道, 那信叫你们忧愁不过是暂时的.

7:9 now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to the will of God, so that you suffered loss in no way through us.
如今我欢喜, 不是因你们忧愁, 是因你们从忧愁中生出懊悔来. 你们依著神的意思忧愁, 凡事就不至于因我们受亏损了.

7:10 For grief according to the will of God brings about a repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted, but worldly grief brings about death.
因为依著神的意思忧愁, 就生出没有后悔的懊悔来, 以致得救; 但世俗的忧愁是叫人死.

7:11 For behold how much diligence this very thing, being grieved according to the will of God, has brought about in you: what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! In everything you have demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
你看, 你们依著神的意思忧愁, 从此就生出何等的殷勤,自诉,自恨,恐惧,想念,热心,责罚(或译: 自责). 在这一切事上, 你们都表明自己是洁净的.

7:12 Consequently, even if I wrote to you, it was not because of the one who did wrong or because of the one who had been wronged, but in order that your diligence on our behalf might be revealed to you before God.
我虽然从前写信给你们, 却不是为那亏负人的, 也不是为那受人亏负的, 乃要在神面前把你们顾念我们的热心表明出来.

7:13 Because of this we have been encouraged, and in addition to our encouragement, we rejoiced much more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit had been refreshed by all of you.
故此, 我们得了安慰. 并且在安慰之中, 因你们众人使提多心里畅快欢喜, 我们就更加欢喜了.

7:14 For if I have boasted anything to him about you, I have not been put to shame, but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, thus also our boasting to Titus has proven to be true.
我若对提多夸奖了你们甚么, 也觉得没有惭愧; 因我对提多夸奖你们的话成了真的, 正如我对你们所说的话也都是真的.

7:15 And his affection for you is all the more when he remembers the obedience of all of you as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
并且提多想起你们众人的顺服, 是怎样恐惧战兢地接待他, 他爱你们的心肠就越发热了.

7:16 I rejoice, because in everything I am completely confident in you.
我如今欢喜, 能在凡事上为你们放心.

II Corinthians - Chapter 8

8:1 Now we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,
弟兄们, 我把神赐给马其顿众教会的恩告诉你们,

8:2 that with a great ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and the extreme depth of their poverty have overflowed to the wealth of their generosity.
就是他们在患难中受大试炼的时候, 仍有满足的快乐, 在极穷之间还格外显出他们乐捐的厚恩.

8:3 I testify that they gave according to their ability, and beyond their ability, by their own choice,
我可以证明, 他们是按著力量, 而且也过了力量, 自己甘心乐意地捐助,

8:4 requesting of us with much exhortation the favor and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints,
再三地求我们, 准他们在这供给圣徒的恩情上有分;

8:5 and not just as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, by the will of God.
并且他们所做的, 不但照我们所想望的, 更照神的旨意先把自己献给主, 又归附了我们.

8:6 So we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun it, thus he would also complete for you this act of grace.
因此我劝提多, 既然在你们中间开办这慈惠的事, 就当办成了.

8:7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith and in speaking and in knowledge and with all diligence and in the love from us that is in you—so may you excel in this grace also.
你们既然在信心,口才,知识,热心, 和待我们的爱心上, 都格外显出满足来, 就当在这慈惠的事上也格外显出满足来.

8:8 I am not saying this as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others.
我说这话, 不是吩咐你们, 乃是藉著别人的热心试验你们爱心的实在.

8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, for your sake he became poor, in order that you, by his poverty, may become rich.
你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典: 他本来富足, 却为你们成了贫穷, 叫你们因他的贫穷, 可以成为富足.

8:10 And I am giving an opinion in this matter, because this is profitable for you who not only began previously, a year ago, to do something, but also to want to do it.
我在这事上把我的意见告诉你们, 是与你们有益; 因为你们下手办这事, 而且起此心意, 已经有一年了,

8:11 So now also complete the doing of it, in order that just as you have the eagerness to want to do it, thus also you may complete it from what you have.
如今就当办成这事. 既有愿做的心, 也当照你们所有的去办成.

8:12 For if the eagerness is present according to what one has, it is acceptable not according to what one does not have.
因为人若有愿做的心, 必蒙悦纳, 乃是照他所有的, 并不是照他所无的.

8:13 For this is not that for others there may be relief, and for you difficult circumstances, but as a matter of equality.
我原不是要别人轻省, 你们受累,

8:14 At the present time your abundance will be for their need, in order that their abundance may also be for your need, so that there may be equality,
乃要均平, 就是要你们的富余, 现在可以补他们的不足, 使他们的富余, 将来也可以补你们的不足, 这就均平了.

8:15 just as it is written, “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”
如经上所记: 多收的也没有余; 少收的也没有缺.

8:16 But thanks be to God, who has put in the heart of Titus the same devotion on your behalf,
多谢神, 感动提多的心, 叫他待你们殷勤, 像我一样.

8:17 because he not only welcomed our request, but being very earnest, by his own choice he went out to you.
他固然是听了我的劝, 但自己更是热心, 情愿往你们那里去.

8:18 And we have sent at the same time with him the brother whose praise in the gospel has become known throughout all the churches.
我们还打发一位兄弟和他同去, 这人在福音上得了众教会的称赞.

8:19 And not only this, but he was also chosen by the churches as our traveling companion together with this gift that is being administered by us to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.
不但这样, 他也被众教会挑选, 和我们同行, 把所托与我们的这捐赀送到了, 可以荣耀主, 又表明我们乐意的心.

8:20 We are trying to avoid this, lest anyone should find fault with us in this abundant gift that is being administered by us.
这就免得有人因我们收的捐银很多, 就挑我们的不是.

8:21 For we are taking into consideration what is honorable not only before the Lord, but also before people.
我们留心行光明的事, 不但在主面前, 就在人面前也是这样.

8:22 And we are sending with them our brother whom we have tested many times in many things that he is diligent, but now much more diligent because of his great confidence in you.
我们又打发一位兄弟同去; 这人的热心, 我们在许多事上屡次试验过. 现在他因为深信你们, 就更加热心了.

8:23 If there is a question concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. If there is a question concerning our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
论到提多, 他是我的同伴, 一同为你们劳碌的. 论到那两位兄弟, 他们是众教会的使者, 是基督的荣耀.

8:24 Therefore show to them the proof of your love and our boasting about you openly before the churches.
所以, 你们务要在众教会面前显明你们爱心的凭据, 并我所夸奖你们的凭据.

II Corinthians - Chapter 9

9:1 For it is unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints,
论到供给圣徒的事, 我不必写信给你们;

9:2 because I know your readiness to help, concerning which I keep on boasting to the Macedonians about you, that Achaia has been ready to help since last year, and your zeal has stirred up the majority of them.
因为我知道你们乐意的心, 常对马其顿人夸奖你们, 说亚该亚人预备好了, 已经有一年了; 并且你们的热心激动了许多人.

9:3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you would not prove to be empty in this case, so that you may be prepared just as I was saying,
但我打发那几位弟兄去, 要叫你们照我的话预备妥当, 免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空.

9:4 lest somehow if Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to speak of you—would be humiliated in connection with this project.
万一有马其顿人与我同去, 见你们没有预备, 就叫我们所确信的, 反成了羞愧; 你们羞愧, 更不用说了.

9:5 Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the brothers that they should go on ahead to you and make arrangements in advance for your generous gift that was promised previously, so this would be prepared as a generous gift and not as grudgingly granted.
因此, 我想不得不求那几位弟兄先到你们那里去, 把从前所应许的捐赀预备妥当, 就显出你们所捐的是出于乐意, 不是出于勉强.

9:6 Now the point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
“少种的少收, 多种的多收”, 这话是真的.

9:7 Each one should give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or from compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
各人要随本心所酌定的, 不要作难, 不要勉强, 因为捐得乐意的人是神所喜爱的.

9:8 And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you, so that in everything at all times, because you have enough of everything, you may overflow in every good work.
神能将各样的恩惠多多地加给你们, 使你们凡事常常充足, 能多行各样善事.

9:9 Just as it is written, “He scattered widely, he gave to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.”
如经上所记: 他施舍钱财, 赒济贫穷; 他的仁义存到永远.

9:10 Now the one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed, and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow,
那赐种给撒种的, 赐粮给人吃的, 必多多加给你们种地的种子, 又增添你们仁义的果子;

9:11 being made rich in every way for all generosity, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,
叫你们凡事富足, 可以多多施舍, 就藉著我们使感谢归于神.

9:12 because the service of this ministry is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but also is overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
因为办这供给的事, 不但补圣徒的缺乏, 而且叫许多人越发感谢神.

9:13 Through the proven character of this service they will glorify God because of the submission of your confession to the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your participation toward them and toward everyone,
他们从这供给的事上得了凭据, 知道你们承认基督顺服他的福音, 多多地捐钱给他们和众人, 便将荣耀归与神.

9:14 and they are longing for you in their prayers for you, because of the surpassing grace of God to you.
他们也因神极大的恩赐显在你们心里, 就切切地想念你们, 为你们祈祷.

9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
感谢神, 因他有说不尽的恩赐!

II Corinthians - Chapter 10

10:1 Now I, Paul, appeal to you myself by the humility and gentleness of Christ, who when I am present in person am humble among you, but when I am absent am bold toward you—
我－保罗, 就是与你们见面的时候是谦卑的, 不在你们那里的时候向你们是勇敢的, 如今亲自藉著基督的温柔,和平劝你们.

10:2 now I ask when I am present that I will not need to be bold with the confidence with which I propose to show boldness toward some who consider us as behaving according to the flesh.
有人以为我是凭著血气行事, 我也以为必须用勇敢待这等人; 求你们不要叫我在你们那里的时候, 有这样的勇敢.

10:3 For although we are living in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh,
因为我们虽然在血气中行事, 却不凭著血气争战.

10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but powerful to God for the tearing down of fortresses, tearing down arguments
我们争战的兵器本不是属血气的, 乃是在神面前有能力, 可以攻破坚固的营垒,

10:5 and all pride that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
将各样的计谋, 各样拦阻人认识神的那些自高之事, 一概攻破了, 又将人所有的心意夺回, 使他都顺服基督.

10:6 And we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is completed.
并且我已经预备好了, 等你们十分顺服的时候, 要责罚那一切不顺服的人.

10:7 You are looking at things according to appearance. If anyone is convinced he himself is Christ’s, he should consider this concerning himself again: that just as Christ himself is, so also are we.
你们是看眼前的吗? 倘若有人自信是属基督的, 他要再想想, 他如何属基督, 我们也是如何属基督的.

10:8 For even if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be put to shame,
主赐给我们权柄, 是要造就你们, 并不是要败坏你们; 我就是为这权柄稍微夸口, 也不至于惭愧.

10:9 so that I do not want to appear as if I were terrifying you by my letters,
我说这话, 免得你们以为我写信是要威吓你们;

10:10 because it is said, “His letters are severe and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak and his speech is of no account.”
因为有人说: “他的信又沉重又厉害, 及至见面, 却是气貌不扬, 言语粗俗的. ”

10:11 Let such a person consider this: that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, we will also be in actions when we are present.
这等人当想, 我们不在那里的时候, 信上的言语如何, 见面的时候, 行事也必如何.

10:12 For we do not dare to classify or to compare ourselves with some who commend themselves, but they themselves, when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, do not understand.
因为我们不敢将自己和那自荐的人同列相比. 他们用自己度量自己, 用自己比较自己, 乃是不通达的.

10:13 But we will not boast beyond limits, but according to the measure of the assignment that God has assigned to us as a measure to reach even as far as you.
我们不愿意分外夸口, 只要照神所量给我们的界限搆到你们那里.

10:14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we had not reached you, because we have reached even as far as you with the gospel of Christ,
我们并非过了自己的界限, 好像搆不到你们那里; 因为我们早到你们那里, 传了基督的福音.

10:15 not boasting beyond limits in the labors of others, but having hope that as your faith is growing to be enlarged greatly by you according to our assignment,
我们不仗着别人所劳碌的, 分外夸口; 但指望你们信心增长的时候, 所量给我们的界限, 就可以因着你们更加开展,

10:16 so that we may proclaim the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast in the things accomplished in the area assigned to someone else.
得以将福音传到你们以外的地方; 并不是在别人界限之内, 藉著他现成的事夸口.

10:17 But “the one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
但夸口的, 当指著主夸口.

10:18 For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
因为蒙悦纳的, 不是自己称许的, 乃是主所称许的.

II Corinthians - Chapter 11

11:1 I wish that you would put up with me in something a little foolish—but indeed you are putting up with me.
但愿你们宽容我这一点愚妄, 其实你们原是宽容我的.

11:2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
我为你们起的愤恨, 原是神那样的愤恨. 因为我曾把你们许配一个丈夫, 要把你们如同贞洁的童女, 献给基督.

11:3 But I am afraid lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be led astray from the sincerity and the purity of devotion to Christ.
我只怕你们的心或偏于邪, 失去那向基督所存纯一清洁的心, 就像蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃一样.

11:4 For if the one who comes proclaims another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed, or you receive a different spirit which you did not receive, or a different gospel which you did not accept, you put up with it well enough!
假如有人来另传一个耶稣, 不是我们所传过的; 或者你们另受一个灵, 不是你们所受过的; 或者另得一个福音, 不是你们所得过的; 你们容让他也就罢了.

11:5 For I consider myself in no way to be inferior to the preeminent apostles.
但我想, 我一点不在那些最大的使徒以下.

11:6 But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; certainly in everything we have made this clear to you in every way.
我的言语虽然粗俗, 我的知识却不粗俗. 这是我们在凡事上向你们众人显明出来的.

11:7 Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself in order that you may be exalted, because I proclaimed the gospel of God to you without payment?
我因为白白传神的福音给你们, 就自居卑微, 叫你们高升, 这算是我犯罪吗?

11:8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them for the ministry to you.
我亏负了别的教会, 向他们取了工价来给你们效力.

11:9 And when I was present with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself from being a burden.
我在你们那里缺乏的时候, 并没有累著你们一个人; 因我所缺乏的, 那从马其顿来的弟兄们都补足了. 我向来凡事谨守, 后来也必谨守, 总不至于累著你们.

11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
既有基督的诚实在我里面, 就无人能在亚该亚一带地方阻挡我这自夸.

11:11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
为甚么呢? 是因我不爱你们吗? 这有神知道.

11:12 But what I am doing, I will also do, in order that I may remove the opportunity of those who want an opportunity, that they may be found just as also we are in what they are boasting about.
我现在所做的, 后来还要做, 为要断绝那些寻机会人的机会, 使他们在所夸的事上也不过与我们一样.

11:13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
那等人是假使徒, 行事诡诈, 装作基督使徒的模样.

11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.
这也不足为怪, 因为连撒但也装作光明的天使.

11:15 Therefore it is not a great thing if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
所以他的差役, 若装作仁义的差役, 也不算希奇. 他们的结局必然照着他们的行为.

11:16 Again I say, do not let anyone think I am foolish. But indeed, if you do, accept me even as foolish, in order that I also may boast a little.
我再说, 人不可把我看作愚妄的. 纵然如此, 也要把我当作愚妄人接纳, 叫我可以略略自夸.

11:17 What I am saying in this project of boasting, I am not saying as the Lord would say, but as in foolishness.
我说的话不是奉主命说的, 乃是像愚妄人放胆自夸;

11:18 Since many are boasting according to human standards, I also will boast.
既有好些人凭著血气自夸, 我也要自夸了.

11:19 For because you are wise, you put up with foolish people gladly!
你们既是精明人, 就能甘心忍耐愚妄人.

11:20 For you put up with it if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone is presumptious toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.
假若有人强你们作奴仆, 或侵吞你们, 或掳掠你们, 或侮慢你们, 或打你们的脸, 你们都能忍耐他.

11:21 I say this to my shame, namely, that we have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares to boast—I am speaking in foolishness—I also dare to boast.
我说这话是羞辱自己, 好像我们从前是软弱的. 然而, 人在何事上勇敢, (我说句愚妄话, )我也勇敢.

11:22 Are they Hebrews? I am also! Are they Israelites? I am also! Are they descendants of Abraham? I am also!
他们是希伯来人吗? 我也是. 他们是以色列人吗? 我也是. 他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔吗? 我也是.

11:23 Are they servants of Christ?—I am speaking as though I were beside myself—I am more so, with far greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with beatings to a much greater degree, in danger of death many times.
他们是基督的仆人吗? (我说句狂话, )我更是. 我比他们多受劳苦, 多下监牢, 受鞭打是过重的, 冒死是屡次有的.

11:24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews forty lashes less one.
被犹太人鞭打五次, 每次四十减去一下;

11:25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked. A day and a night I have spent in the deep water.
被棍打了三次; 被石头打了一次; 遇着船坏三次, 一昼一夜在深海里.

11:26 I have been on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my own people, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers because of false brothers,
又屡次行远路, 遭江河的危险,盗贼的危险,同族的危险,外邦人的危险,城里的危险,旷野的危险,海中的危险,假弟兄的危险.

11:27 with toil and hardship, often in sleepless nights, with hunger and thirst, often going hungry, in cold and poorly clothed.
受劳碌,受困苦, 多次不得睡, 又饥又渴, 多次不得食, 受寒冷, 赤身露体.

11:28 Apart from these external things, there is the pressure on me every day of the anxiety about all the churches.
除了这外面的事, 还有为众教会挂心的事, 天天压在我身上.

11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to sin, and I do not burn with indignation?
有谁软弱, 我不软弱呢? 有谁跌倒, 我不焦急呢?

11:30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast about the things related to my weakness.
我若必须自夸, 就夸那关乎我软弱的事便了.

11:31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
那永远可称颂之主耶稣的父神知道我不说谎.

11:32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to take me into custody,
在大马士革的亚哩达王手下的提督把守大马士革城, 要捉拿我,

11:33 and I was lowered through a window through the wall in a rope-basket, and I escaped his hands.
我就从窗户中, 在筐子里, 从城墙上被人缒下去, 脱离了他的手.

II Corinthians - Chapter 12

12:1 It is necessary to boast; it is not profitable, but I will proceed to visions and revelations of the Lord.
我自夸固然无益, 但我是不得已的. 如今我要说到主的显现和启示.

12:2 I know a man in Christ fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or outside the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven,
我认得一个在基督里的人, 他前十四年被提到第三层天上去; (或在身内, 我不知道; 或在身外, 我也不知道; 只有神知道. )

12:3 and I know this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—
我认得这人; (或在身内, 或在身外, 我都不知道, 只有神知道. )

12:4 that he was caught up to paradise and heard words not to be spoken, which it is not permitted for a person to speak.
他被提到乐园里, 听见隐祕的言语, 是人不可说的.

12:5 On behalf of such a person I will boast, but on behalf of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
为这人, 我要夸口; 但是为我自己, 除了我的软弱以外, 我并不夸口.

12:6 For if I want to boast, I will not be foolish, because I will be telling the truth, but I am refraining, so that no one can credit to me more than what he sees in me or hears anything from me,
我就是愿意夸口也不算狂, 因为我必说实话; 只是我禁止不说, 恐怕有人把我看高了, 过于他在我身上所看见,所听见的.

12:7 even because of the extraordinary degree of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, in order that it would torment me so that I would not exalt myself.
又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大, 就过于自高, 所以有一根刺加在我肉体上, 就是撒但的差役要攻击我, 免得我过于自高.

12:8 Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would depart from me.
为这事, 我三次求过主, 叫这刺离开我.

12:9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because the power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore rather I will boast most gladly in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may reside in me.
他对我说: “我的恩典够你用的, 因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全. ”所以, 我更喜欢夸自己的软弱, 好叫基督的能力覆庇我.

12:10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
我为基督的缘故, 就以软弱,凌辱,急难,逼迫,困苦为可喜乐的; 因我甚么时候软弱, 甚么时候就刚强了.

12:11 I have become a fool! You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the preeminent apostles, even if I am nothing.
我成了愚妄人, 是被你们强逼的. 我本该被你们称许才是. 我虽算不了甚么, 却没有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下.

12:12 Indeed, the signs of an apostle have been done among you with all patient endurance, both signs and wonders and deeds of power.
我在你们中间, 用百般的忍耐, 藉著神蹟,奇事,异能显出使徒的凭据来.

12:13 For in what respect are you made worse off more than the rest of the churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
除了我不累著你们这一件事, 你们还有甚么事不及别的教会呢? 这不公之处, 求你们饶恕我吧.

12:14 Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
如今, 我打算第三次到你们那里去, 也必不累著你们; 因我所求的是你们, 不是你们的财物. 儿女不该为父母积财, 父母该为儿女积财.

12:15 But I will spend and be expended most gladly for your lives. If I love you much more, am I to be loved less?
我也甘心乐意为你们的灵魂费财费力. 难道我越发爱你们, 就越发少得你们的爱吗?

12:16 But let it be. I have not been a burden to you, but because I was crafty, I took you by cunning.
罢了, 我自己并没有累著你们, 你们却有人说, 我是诡诈, 用心计牢笼你们.

12:17 I have not taken advantage of you through anyone whom I sent to you, have I?
我所差到你们那里去的人, 我藉著他们一个人占过你们的便宜吗?

12:18 I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same footsteps?
我劝了提多到你们那里去, 又差那位兄弟与他同去. 提多占过你们的便宜吗? 我们行事, 不同是一个心灵(或译: 圣灵)吗? 不同是一个脚踪吗?

12:19 Have you been thinking all this time that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking in Christ before God, and all these things, dear friends, are for your edification.
你们到如今, 还想我们是向你们分诉; 我们本是在基督里当神面前说话. 亲爱的弟兄啊, 一切的事都是为造就你们.

12:20 For I am afraid lest somehow when I arrive, I will not find you as I want, and I may be found by you as you do not want. I am afraid lest somehow there will be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, pride, disorder.
我怕我再来的时候, 见你们不合我所想望的, 你们见我也不合你们所想望的; 又怕有纷争,嫉妒,恼怒,结党,毁谤,谗言,狂傲,混乱的事.

12:21 I am afraid lest when I come again my God will humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve over many of those who sinned previously and have not repented because of their impurity and sexual immorality and licentiousness that they have practiced.
且怕我来的时候, 我的神叫我在你们面前惭愧, 又因许多人从前犯罪, 行污秽,奸淫,邪荡的事不肯悔改, 我就忧愁.

II Corinthians - Chapter 13

13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. By the testimony of two or three witnesses every word will be established.
这是我第三次要到你们那里去. “凭两三个人的口作见证, 句句都要定准. ”

13:2 I have already said when I was present the second time, and although I am absent now I also say in advance to those who sinned previously and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,
我从前说过, 如今不在你们那里又说, 正如我第二次见你们的时候所说的一样, 就是对那犯了罪的和其余的人说: “我若再来, 必不宽容. ”

13:3 since you are demanding proof that Christ, who is not weak toward you, but is powerful among you, is speaking in me.
你们既然寻求基督在我里面说话的凭据, 我必不宽容. 因为, 基督在你们身上不是软弱的, 在你们里面是有大能的.

13:4 For indeed, he was crucified because of weakness, but he lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live together with him because of the power of God toward you.
他因软弱被钉在十字架上, 却因神的大能仍然活着. 我们也是这样同他软弱, 但因神向你们所显的大能, 也必与他同活.

13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize regarding yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are unqualified?
你们总要自己省察有信心没有, 也要自己试验. 岂不知你们若不是可弃绝的, 就有耶稣基督在你们心里吗?

13:6 And I hope that you will recognize that we are not unqualified!
我却盼望你们晓得, 我们不是可弃绝的人.

13:7 Now we pray to God that you not do wrong in any way, not that we are seen as approved, but that you do what is good, even though we are seen as though unqualified.
我们求神, 叫你们一件恶事都不做; 这不是要显明我们是蒙悦纳的, 是要你们行事端正, 任凭人看我们是被弃绝的吧!

13:8 For we are not able to do anything against the truth, but rather only for the truth.
我们凡事不能敌挡真理, 只能扶助真理.

13:9 For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong, and we pray for this: your maturity.
即使我们软弱, 你们刚强, 我们也欢喜; 并且我们所求的, 就是你们作完全人.

13:10 Because of this, I am writing these things although I am absent, in order that when I am present I may not have to act severely according to the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
所以, 我不在你们那里的时候, 把这话写给你们, 好叫我见你们的时候, 不用照主所给我的权柄严厉地待你们. 这权柄原是为造就人, 并不是为败坏人.

13:11 Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be encouraged, be in agreement, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
还有末了的话: 愿弟兄们都喜乐. 要作完全人; 要受安慰; 要同心合意; 要彼此和睦. 如此, 仁爱和平的神必常与你们同在.

13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
你们亲嘴问安, 彼此务要圣洁.

13:13 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
众圣徒都问你们安.

13:14
愿主耶稣基督的恩惠,神的慈爱,圣灵的感动常与你们众人同在!

Galatians (加拉太书)

Galatians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle not from men nor by men but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead,
作使徒的保罗(不是由于人, 也不是藉著人, 乃是藉著耶稣基督, 与叫他从死里复活的父神)

1:2 and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.
和一切与我同在的众弟兄, 写信给加拉太的各教会.

1:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
愿恩惠,平安从父神与我们的主耶稣基督归与你们!

1:4 who gave himself for our sins in order to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
基督照我们父神的旨意, 为我们的罪舍己, 要救我们脱离这罪恶的世代.

1:5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
但愿荣耀归于神, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

1:6 I am astonished that you are turning away so quickly from the one who called you by the grace of Christ to a different gospel,
我希奇你们这么快离开那藉著基督之恩召你们的, 去从别的福音.

1:7 not that there is a different gospel, except there are some who are disturbing you and wanting to distort the gospel of Christ.
那并不是福音, 不过有些人搅扰你们, 要把基督的福音更改了.

1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim a gospel to you contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed!
但无论是我们, 是天上来的使者, 若传福音给你们, 与我们所传给你们的不同, 他就应当被咒诅.

1:9 As we said before, and now I say again, if anyone is proclaiming a gospel to you contrary to what you have received, let him be accursed!
我们已经说了, 现在又说, 若有人传福音给你们, 与你们所领受的不同, 他就应当被咒诅.

1:10 For am I now making an appeal to people or to God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
我现在是要得人的心呢? 还是要得神的心呢? 我岂是讨人的喜欢吗? 若仍旧讨人的喜欢, 我就不是基督的仆人了.

1:11 For I make known to you, brothers, the gospel that has been proclaimed by me, that it is not of human origin.
弟兄们, 我告诉你们, 我素来所传的福音不是出于人的意思.

1:12 For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
因为我不是从人领受的, 也不是人教导我的, 乃是从耶稣基督启示来的.

1:13 For you have heard about my former way of life in Judaism, that to an extraordinary degree I was persecuting the church of God, and trying to destroy it,
你们听见我从前在犹太教中所行的事, 怎样极力逼迫残害神的教会.

1:14 and was progressing in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my nation, because I was a far more zealous adherent of the traditions handed down by my forefathers.
我又在犹太教中, 比我本国许多同岁的人更有长进, 为我祖宗的遗传更加热心.

1:15 But when the one who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace was pleased
然而, 那把我从母腹里分别出来,又施恩召我的神,

1:16 to reveal his Son in me in order that I would proclaim the gospel about him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,
既然乐意将他儿子启示在我心里, 叫我把他传在外邦人中, 我就没有与属血气的人商量,

1:17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and I returned again to Damascus.
也没有上耶路撒冷去见那些比我先作使徒的, 惟独往阿拉伯去, 后又回到大马士革.

1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days,
过了三年, 才上耶路撒冷去见矶法, 和他同住了十五天.

1:19 but I did not see any others of the apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
至于别的使徒, 除了主的兄弟雅各, 我都没有看见.

1:20 (Now the things which I am writing to you, behold, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)
我写给你们的不是谎话, 这是我在神面前说的.

1:21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,
以后我到了叙利亚和基利家境内.

1:22 but I was unknown in person to the churches of Judea that are in Christ,
那时, 犹太信基督的各教会都没有见过我的面.

1:23 and they were only hearing, “The one formerly persecuting us is now proclaiming the faith that formerly he was attempting to destroy,”
不过听说那从前逼迫我们的, 现在传扬他原先所残害的真道.

1:24 and they were glorifying God because of me.
他们就为我的缘故, 归荣耀给神.

Galatians - Chapter 2

2:1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking along Titus also.
过了十四年, 我同巴拿巴又上耶路撒冷去, 并带着提多同去.

2:2 Now I went up there because of a revelation and laid out to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but in private to the influential people, lest somehow I was running, or had run, in vain.
我是奉启示上去的, 把我在外邦人中所传的福音对弟兄们陈说; 却是背地里对那有名望之人说的, 惟恐我现在, 或是从前, 徒然奔跑.

2:3 But not even Titus who was with me, although he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
但与我同去的提多, 虽是希腊人, 也没有勉强他受割礼;

2:4 Now this was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order that they might enslave us,
因为有偷着引进来的假弟兄, 私下窥探我们在基督耶稣里的自由, 要叫我们作奴仆.

2:5 to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, in order that the truth of the gospel might remain continually with you.
我们就是一刻的工夫也没有容让顺服他们, 为要叫福音的真理仍存在你们中间.

2:6 But from those who were influential (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me, God does not show partiality)—for those who were influential added nothing to me.
至于那些有名望的, 不论他是何等人, 都与我无干. 神不以外貌取人. 那些有名望的, 并没有加增我甚么,

2:7 But these, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcision, just as Peter to the circumcision
反倒看见了主托我传福音给那未受割礼的人, 正如托彼得传福音给那受割礼的人.

2:8 (for the one who was at work through Peter for his apostleship to the circumcision was at work also through me for the Gentiles),
(那感动彼得,叫他为受割礼之人作使徒的, 也感动我, 叫我为外邦人作使徒; )

2:9 and when James and Cephas and John—those thought to be pillars—acknowledged the grace given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, in order that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcision.
又知道所赐给我的恩典, 那称为教会柱石的雅各,矶法,约翰, 就向我和巴拿巴用右手行相交之礼, 叫我们往外邦人那里去, 他们往受割礼的人那里去.

2:10 They asked only that we should remember the poor, the very thing I was also eager to do.
只是愿意我们记念穷人; 这也是我本来热心去行的.

2:11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was condemned.
后来, 矶法到了安提阿; 因他有可责之处, 我就当面抵挡他.

2:12 For before certain people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he was afraid of those who were of the circumcision,
从雅各那里来的人未到以先, 他和外邦人一同吃饭, 及至他们来到, 他因怕奉割礼的人, 就退去与外邦人隔开了.

2:13 and the rest of the Jews also joined in this hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with them in their hypocrisy.
其余的犹太人也都随着他装假, 甚至连巴拿巴也随伙装假.

2:14 But when I saw that they were not being straightforward with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, “If you, although you are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
但我一看见他们行的不正, 与福音的真理不合, 就在众人面前对矶法说: “你既是犹太人, 若随外邦人行事, 不随犹太人行事, 怎么还勉强外邦人随犹太人呢? ”

2:15 We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles,
我们这生来的犹太人, 不是外邦的罪人;

2:16 but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ, and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.
既知道人称义不是因行律法, 乃是因信耶稣基督, 连我们也信了基督耶稣, 使我们因信基督称义, 不因行律法称义; 因为凡有血气的, 没有一人因行律法称义.

2:17 But if while seeking to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also have been found to be sinners, then is Christ an agent of sin? May it never be!
我们若求在基督里称义, 却仍旧是罪人, 难道基督是叫人犯罪的吗? 断乎不是!

2:18 For if I build up again these things which I destroyed, I show myself to be a transgressor.
我素来所拆毁的, 若重新建造, 这就证明自己是犯罪的人.

2:19 For through the law I died to the law, in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,
我因律法, 就向律法死了, 叫我可以向神活着.

2:20 and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
我已经与基督同钉十字架, 现在活着的不再是我, 乃是基督在我里面活着; 并且我如今在肉身活着, 是因信神的儿子而活; 他是爱我, 为我舍己.

2:21 I do not declare invalid the grace of God, for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.
我不废掉神的恩; 义若是藉著律法得的, 基督就是徒然死了.

Galatians - Chapter 3

3:1 O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as having been crucified?
无知的加拉太人哪, 耶稣基督钉十字架, 已经活画在你们眼前, 谁又迷惑了你们呢?

3:2 I want only to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
我只要问你们这一件: 你们受了圣灵, 是因行律法呢? 是因听信福音呢?

3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to be made complete by the flesh?
你们既靠圣灵入门, 如今还靠肉身成全吗? 你们是这样的无知吗?

3:4 Have you suffered so many things for nothing—if indeed also it was for nothing?
你们受苦如此之多, 都是徒然的吗? 难道果真是徒然的吗?

3:5 Therefore does the one who gives you the Spirit and who works miracles among you do so by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
那赐给你们圣灵, 又在你们中间行异能的, 是因你们行律法呢? 是因你们听信福音呢?

3:6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,
正如“亚伯拉罕信神, 这就算为他的义”.

3:7 then understand that the ones who have faith, these are sons of Abraham.
所以, 你们要知道: 那以信为本的人, 就是亚伯拉罕的子孙.

3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: “In you all the nations will be blessed.”
并且圣经既然预先看明, 神要叫外邦人因信称义, 就早已传福音给亚伯拉罕, 说: “万国都必因你得福. ”

3:9 So then, the ones who have faith are blessed together with Abraham who believed.
可见那以信为本的人和有信心的亚伯拉罕一同得福.

3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things that are written in the book of the law to do them.”
凡以行律法为本的, 都是被咒诅的; 因为经上记着: “凡不常照律法书上所记一切之事去行的, 就被咒诅. ”

3:11 Now it is clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because “the one who is righteous will live by faith.”
没有一个人靠着律法在神面前称义, 这是明显的; 因为经上说: “义人必因信得生. ”

3:12 But the law is not from faith, but “the one who does these things will live by them.”
律法原不本乎信, 只说: “行这些事的, 就必因此活着. ”

3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
基督既为我们受(原文是成)了咒诅, 就赎出我们脱离律法的咒诅; 因为经上记着: “凡挂在木头上都是被咒诅的. ”

3:14 in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
这便叫亚伯拉罕的福, 因基督耶稣可以临到外邦人, 使我们因信得着所应许的圣灵.

3:15 Brothers, I am speaking according to a human perspective. Nevertheless, when the covenant of a man has been ratified, no one declares it invalid or adds additional provisions to it.
弟兄们, 我且照着人的常话说: 虽然是人的文约, 若已经立定了, 就没有能废弃或加增的.

3:16 Now to Abraham and to his descendant the promises were spoken. It does not say, “and to descendants,” as concerning many, but as concerning one, “and to your descendant,” who is Christ.
所应许的原是向亚伯拉罕和他子孙说的. 神并不是说“众子孙”, 指著许多人, 乃是说“你那一个子孙”, 指著一个人, 就是基督.

3:17 Now I am saying this: the law, that came after four hundred and thirty years, does not revoke a covenant previously ratified by God, in order to nullify the promise.
我是这么说, 神预先所立的约, 不能被那四百三十年以后的律法废掉, 叫应许归于虚空.

3:18 For if the inheritance is from the law, it is no longer from the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.
因为承受产业, 若本乎律法, 就不本乎应许; 但神是凭著应许把产业赐给亚伯拉罕.

3:19 Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the descendant should come to whom it had been promised, having been ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator.
这样说来, 律法是为甚么有的呢? 原是为过犯添上的, 等候那蒙应许的子孙来到, 并且是藉天使经中保之手设立的.

3:20 Now the mediator is not for one, but God is one.
但中保本不是为一面作的; 神却是一位.

3:21 Therefore is the law opposed to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, certainly righteousness would have been from the law.
这样, 律法是与神的应许反对吗? 断乎不是! 若曾传一个能叫人得生的律法, 义就诚然本乎律法了.

3:22 But the scripture imprisoned all under sin, in order that the promise could be given by faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.
但圣经把众人都圈在罪里, 使所应许的福因信耶稣基督, 归给那信的人.

3:23 But before faith came, we were detained under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.
但这因信得救的理还未来以先, 我们被看守在律法之下, 直圈到那将来的真道显明出来.

3:24 So then, the law became our guardian until Christ, in order that we could be justified by faith.
这样, 律法是我们训蒙的师傅, 引我们到基督那里, 使我们因信称义.

3:25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
但这因信得救的理既然来到, 我们从此就不在师傅的手下了.

3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
所以, 你们因信基督耶稣都是神的儿子.

3:27 for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
你们受洗归入基督的都是披戴基督了.

3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
并不分犹太人,希腊人, 自主的,为奴的, 或男或女, 因为你们在基督耶稣里都成为一了.

3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
你们既属乎基督, 就是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 是照着应许承受产业的了.

Galatians - Chapter 4

4:1 Now I say, for as long a time as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he is master of everything,
我说那承受产业的, 虽然是全业的主人, 但为孩童的时候却与奴仆毫无分别,

4:2 but he is under guardians and managers until the time set by his father.
乃在师傅和管家的手下, 直等他父亲预定的时候来到.

4:3 So also we, when we were children, we were enslaved under the elemental spirits of the world.
我们为孩童的时候, 受管于世俗小学之下, 也是如此.

4:4 But when the fullness of time came, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
及至时候满足, 神就差遣他的儿子, 为女子所生, 且生在律法以下,

4:5 in order that he might redeem those under the law, in order that we might receive the adoption.
要把律法以下的人赎出来, 叫我们得着儿子的名分.

4:6 And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! (Father!),”
你们既为儿子, 神就差他儿子的灵进入你们(原文是我们)的心, 呼叫: “阿爸! 父! ”

4:7 so that you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir through God.
可见, 从此以后, 你不是奴仆, 乃是儿子了; 既是儿子, 就靠着神为后嗣.

4:8 But at that time when you did not know God, you were enslaved to the things which by nature are not gods.
但从前你们不认识神的时候, 是给那些本来不是神的作奴仆;

4:9 But now, because you have come to know God, or rather have come to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental spirits? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?
现在你们既然认识神, 更可说是被神所认识的, 怎么还要归回那懦弱无用的小学, 情愿再给他作奴仆呢?

4:10 You carefully observe days and months and seasons and years.
你们谨守日子,月份,节期,年份,

4:11 I am afraid for you, lest perhaps I have labored for you in vain!
我为你们害怕, 惟恐我在你们身上是枉费了工夫.

4:12 I ask you, brothers, become like me, because I also have become like you. You have done me no wrong!
弟兄们, 我劝你们要像我一样, 因为我也像你们一样. 你们一点没有亏负我.

4:13 But you know that because of an illness of the flesh I proclaimed the gospel to you the first time.
你们知道我头一次传福音给你们, 是因为身体有疾病.

4:14 And you did not despise or disdain what was a trial for you in my flesh, but you welcomed me like an angel of God, like Christ Jesus.
你们为我身体的缘故受试炼, 没有轻看我, 也没有厌弃我, 反倒接待我, 如同神的使者, 如同基督耶稣.

4:15 So where is your blessing? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me!
你们当日所夸的福气在哪里呢? 那时你们若能行, 就是把自己的眼睛剜出来给我, 也都情愿. 这是我可以给你们作见证的.

4:16 So then, have I become your enemy by being truthful to you?
如今我将真理告诉你们, 就成了你们的仇敌吗?

4:17 They zealously seek you, not commendably, but they want to exclude you, in order that you may seek them zealously.
那些人热心待你们, 却不是好意, 是要离间你们(原文是把你们关在外面), 叫你们热心待他们.

4:18 But it is good to be sought zealously in good at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
在善事上, 常用热心待人原是好的, 却不单我与你们同在的时候才这样.

4:19 My children, for whom I am having birth pains again, until Christ is formed in you!
我小子啊, 我为你们再受生产之苦, 直等到基督成形在你们心里.

4:20 But I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone because I am perplexed about you.
我巴不得现今在你们那里, 改换口气, 因我为你们心里作难.

4:21 Tell me, you who are wanting to be under the law, do you not understand the law?
你们这愿意在律法以下的人, 请告诉我, 你们岂没有听见律法吗?

4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the female slave and one by the free woman.
因为律法上记着, 亚伯拉罕有两个儿子, 一个是使女生的, 一个是自主之妇人生的.

4:23 But the one by the female slave was born according to human descent, and the one by the free woman through the promise,
然而, 那使女所生的是按著血气生的; 那自主之妇人所生的是凭著应许生的.

4:24 which things are spoken allegorically, for these women are two covenants, one from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery, who is Hagar.
这都是比方: 那两个妇人就是两约. 一约是出于西奈山, 生子为奴, 乃是夏甲.

4:25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is a slave with her children.
这夏甲二字是指著阿拉伯的西奈山, 与现在的耶路撒冷同类, 因耶路撒冷和她的儿女都是为奴的.

4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother.
但那在上的耶路撒冷是自主的, 她是我们的母.

4:27 For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren woman, who does not give birth to children; burst out and shout, you who do not have birth pains, because many are the children of the desolate woman, even more than those of the one who has a husband.”
因为经上记着: 不怀孕,不生养的, 你要欢乐; 未曾经过产难的, 你要高声欢呼; 因为没有丈夫的, 比有丈夫的儿女更多.

4:28 But you, brothers, are children of the promise, just as Isaac.
弟兄们, 我们是凭著应许作儿女, 如同以撒一样.

4:29 But just as at that time the child born according to human descent persecuted the child born according to the Spirit, so also now.
当时, 那按著血气生的逼迫了那按著圣灵生的, 现在也是这样.

4:30 But what does the scripture say? “Drive out the female slave and her son, for the son of the female slave will never inherit with the son” of the free woman.
然而经上是怎么说的呢? 是说: “把使女和她儿子赶出去! 因为使女的儿子不可与自主妇人的儿子一同承受产业. ”

4:31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the female slave but of the free woman.
弟兄们, 这样看来, 我们不是使女的儿女, 乃是自主妇人的儿女了.

Galatians - Chapter 5

5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
基督释放了我们, 叫我们得以自由. 所以要站立得稳, 不要再被奴仆的轭挟制.

5:2 Look! I, Paul, tell you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing!
我－保罗告诉你们, 若受割礼, 基督就与你们无益了.

5:3 And again I testify to every man who becomes circumcised, that he is under obligation to keep the whole law.
我再指著凡受割礼的人确实地说, 他是欠著行全律法的债.

5:4 You are estranged from Christ, you who are attempting to be justified by the law; you have fallen from grace.
你们这要靠律法称义的, 是与基督隔绝, 从恩典中坠落了.

5:5 For through the Spirit by faith we eagerly await the hope of righteousness.
我们靠着圣灵, 凭著信心, 等候所盼望的义.

5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
原来在基督耶稣里, 受割礼不受割礼全无功效, 惟独使人生发仁爱的信心才有功效.

5:7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
你们向来跑得好, 有谁拦阻你们, 叫你们不顺从真理呢?

5:8 This persuasion is not from the one who calls you!
这样的劝导不是出于那召你们的.

5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough.
一点面酵能使全团都发起来.

5:10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will think nothing different, but the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
我在主里很信你们必不怀别样的心; 但搅扰你们的, 无论是谁, 必担当他的罪名.

5:11 Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
弟兄们, 我若仍旧传割礼, 为甚么还受逼迫呢? 若是这样, 那十字架讨厌的地方就没有了.

5:12 I wish that the ones who are disturbing you would also castrate themselves!
恨不得那搅乱你们的人把自己割绝了.

5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
弟兄们, 你们蒙召是要得自由, 只是不可将你们的自由当作放纵情欲的机会, 总要用爱心互相服事.

5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
因为全律法都包在“爱人如己”这一句话之内了.

5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
你们要谨慎, 若相咬相吞, 只怕要彼此消灭了.

5:16 But I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never carry out the desire of the flesh.
我说, 你们当顺着圣灵而行, 就不放纵肉体的情欲了.

5:17 For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these things.
因为情欲和圣灵相争, 圣灵和情欲相争, 这两个是彼此相敌, 使你们不能做所愿意做的.

5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
但你们若被圣灵引导, 就不在律法以下.

5:19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
情欲的事都是显而易见的, 就如奸淫,污秽,邪荡,

5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions,
拜偶像,邪术,仇恨,争竞,忌恨,恼怒,结党,纷争,异端,

5:21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, things which I am telling you in advance, just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
嫉妒(有古卷加: 凶杀二字),醉酒,荒宴等类. 我从前告诉你们, 现在又告诉你们, 行这样事的人必不能承受神的国.

5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
圣灵所结的果子, 就是仁爱,喜乐,和平,忍耐,恩慈,良善,信实,

5:23 gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.
温柔,节制. 这样的事没有律法禁止.

5:24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires.
凡属基督耶稣的人, 是已经把肉体连肉体的邪情私欲同钉在十字架上了.

5:25 If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.
我们若是靠圣灵得生, 就当靠圣灵行事.

5:26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
不要贪图虚名, 彼此惹气, 互相嫉妒.

Galatians - Chapter 6

6:1 Brothers, even if a person is caught in some trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of humility, looking out for yourself, lest you also be tempted.
弟兄们, 若有人偶然被过犯所胜, 你们属灵的人就当用温柔的心把他挽回过来; 又当自己小心, 恐怕也被引诱.

6:2 Carry the burdens of one another, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
你们各人的重担要互相担当, 如此, 就完全了基督的律法.

6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something although he is nothing, he is deceiving himself.
人若无有, 自己还以为有, 就是自欺了.

6:4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in someone else.
各人应当察验自己的行为; 这样, 他所夸的就专在自己, 不在别人了,

6:5 For each one will carry his own burden.
因为各人必担当自己的担子.

6:6 Now the one who is taught the word must share in all good things with the one who teaches.
在道理上受教的, 当把一切需用的供给施教的人.

6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked, for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap,
不要自欺, 神是轻慢不得的. 人种的是甚么, 收的也是甚么.

6:8 because the one who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
顺着情欲撒种的, 必从情欲收败坏; 顺着圣灵撒种的, 必从圣灵收永生.

6:9 And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up.
我们行善, 不可丧志; 若不灰心, 到了时候就要收成.

6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the household of faith.
所以, 有了机会就当向众人行善, 向信徒一家的人更当这样.

6:11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.
请看我亲手写给你们的字是何等的大呢!

6:12 As many as are wanting to make a good showing in the flesh, these are attempting to compel you to be circumcised, only so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
凡希图外貌体面的人都勉强你们受割礼, 无非是怕自己为基督的十字架受逼迫.

6:13 For not even those who are circumcised observe the law themselves, but they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh.
他们那些受割礼的, 连自己也不守律法; 他们愿意你们受割礼, 不过要藉著你们的肉体夸口.

6:14 But as for me, may it never be that I boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
但我断不以别的夸口, 只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架; 因这十字架, 就我而论, 世界已经钉在十字架上; 就世界而论, 我已经钉在十字架上.

6:15 For neither is circumcision anything nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
受割礼不受割礼都无关紧要, 要紧的就是作新造的人.

6:16 And all those who follow this rule, peace and mercy be on them and on the Israel of God.
凡照此理而行的, 愿平安,怜悯加给他们, 和神的以色列民.

6:17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus.
从今以后, 人都不要搅扰我, 因为我身上带着耶稣的印记.

6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
弟兄们, 愿我主耶稣基督的恩常在你们心里. 阿们!

Ephesians (以弗所书)

Ephesians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus:
奉神旨意, 作基督耶稣使徒的保罗, 写信给在以弗所的圣徒, 就是在基督耶稣里有忠心的人.

1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠,平安从神我们的父和主耶稣基督归与你们!

1:3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神! 他在基督里曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气:

1:4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love,
就如神从创立世界以前, 在基督里拣选了我们, 使我们在他面前成为圣洁, 无有瑕疵;

1:5 having predestined us to adoption through Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will,
又因爱我们, 就按著自己的意旨所喜悦的, 预定我们藉著耶稣基督得儿子的名分,

1:6 to the praise of the glory of his grace that he bestowed on us in the beloved,
使他荣耀的恩典得着称赞; 这恩典是他在爱子里所赐给我们的.

1:7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
我们藉这爱子的血得蒙救赎, 过犯得以赦免, 乃是照他丰富的恩典.

1:8 that he caused to abound to us in all wisdom and insight,
这恩典是神用诸般智慧聪明, 充充足足赏给我们的;

1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he purposed in him,
都是照他自己所预定的美意, 叫我们知道他旨意的奥祕,

1:10 for the administration of the fullness of times, to bring together all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him
要照所安排的, 在日期满足的时候, 使天上,地上,一切所有的都在基督里面同归于一.

1:11 in whom also we were chosen, having been predestined according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
我们也在他里面得(得: 或译成)了基业; 这原是那位随己意行,做万事的, 照着他旨意所预定的,

1:12 that we who hoped beforehand in Christ should be for the praise of his glory,
叫他的荣耀从我们这首先在基督里有盼望的人可以得着称赞.

1:13 in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also when you believed you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
你们既听见真理的道, 就是那叫你们得救的福音, 也信了基督, 既然信他, 就受了所应许的圣灵为印记.

1:14 who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.
这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据(原文是质), 直等到神之民(民: 原文是产业)被赎, 使他的荣耀得著称赞.

1:15 Because of this I also, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
因此, 我既听见你们信从主耶稣, 亲爱众圣徒,

1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention in my prayers,
就为你们不住地感谢神. 祷告的时候, 常提到你们,

1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him
求我们主耶稣基督的神, 荣耀的父, 将那赐人智慧和启示的灵赏给你们, 使你们真知道他,

1:18 (the eyes of your hearts having been enlightened), so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,
并且照明你们心中的眼睛, 使你们知道他的恩召有何等指望, 他在圣徒中得的基业有何等丰盛的荣耀;

1:19 and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty strength
并知道他向我们这信的人所显的能力是何等浩大,

1:20 which he has worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
就是照他在基督身上所运行的大能大力, 使他从死里复活, 叫他在天上坐在自己的右边,

1:21 above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this age but also in the coming one,
远超过一切执政的,掌权的,有能的,主治的, 和一切有名的; 不但是今世的, 连来世的也都超过了.

1:22 and he subjected all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
又将万有服在他的脚下, 使他为教会作万有之首.

1:23 which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
教会是他的身体, 是那充满万有者所充满的.

Ephesians - Chapter 2

2:1 And you, although you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
你们死在过犯罪恶之中, 他叫你们活过来.

2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,
那时, 你们在其中行事为人, 随从今世的风俗, 顺服空中掌权者的首领, 就是现今在悖逆之子心中运行的邪灵.

2:3 among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and we were children of wrath by nature, as also the rest of them were.
我们从前也都在他们中间, 放纵肉体的私欲, 随着肉体和心中所喜好的去行, 本为可怒之子, 和别人一样.

2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
然而, 神既有丰富的怜悯, 因他爱我们的大爱,

2:5 and we being dead in trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),
当我们死在过犯中的时候, 便叫我们与基督一同活过来. 你们得救是本乎恩.

2:6 and raised us together and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
他又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活, 一同坐在天上,

2:7 in order that he might show in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.
要将他极丰富的恩典, 就是他在基督耶稣里向我们所施的恩慈, 显明给后来的世代看.

2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;
你们得救是本乎恩, 也因着信; 这并不是出于自己, 乃是神所赐的;

2:9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast.
也不是出于行为, 免得有人自夸.

2:10 For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.
我们原是他的工作, 在基督耶稣里造成的, 为要叫我们行善, 就是神所预备叫我们行的.

2:11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, the so-called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,
所以你们应当记念: 你们从前按肉体是外邦人, 是称为没受割礼的; 这名原是那些凭人手在肉身上称为受割礼之人所起的.

2:12 that you were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope, and without God in the world.
那时, 你们与基督无关, 在以色列国民以外, 在所应许的诸约上是局外人, 并且活在世上没有指望, 没有神.

2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ.
你们从前远离神的人, 如今却在基督耶稣里, 靠着他的血, 已经得亲近了.

2:14 For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh,
因他使我们和睦(原文是因他是我们的和睦), 将两下合而为一, 拆毁了中间隔断的墙;

2:15 invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, thus making peace,
而且以自己的身体废掉冤仇, 就是那记在律法上的规条, 为要将两下藉著自己造成一个新人, 如此便成就了和睦.

2:16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, killing the enmity in himself.
既在十字架上灭了冤仇, 便藉这十字架使两下归为一体, 与神和好了,

2:17 And coming, he proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to the ones who were near,
并且来传和平的福音给你们远处的人, 也给那近处的人.

2:18 because through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
因为我们两下藉著他被一个圣灵所感, 得以进到父面前.

2:19 Consequently, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God,
这样, 你们不再作外人和客旅, 是与圣徒同国, 是神家里的人了;

2:20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
并且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上, 有基督耶稣自己为房角石,

2:21 in whom the whole building, joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
各(或译: 全)房靠他联络得合式, 渐渐成为主的圣殿.

2:22 in whom you also are built up together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
你们也靠他同被建造, 成为神藉著圣灵居住的所在.

Ephesians - Chapter 3

3:1 On account of this I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles
因此, 我─保罗为你们外邦人作了基督耶稣被囚的, 替你们祈祷(此句是照对十四节所加).

3:2 —if indeed you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace given to me for you.
谅必你们曾听见神赐恩给我, 将关切你们的职分托付我,

3:3 According to revelation the mystery was made known to me, just as I wrote beforehand in brief,
用启示使我知道福音的奥祕, 正如我以前略略写过的.

3:4 so that you may be able when you read to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ
你们念了, 就能晓得我深知基督的奥祕.

3:5 (which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit):
这奥祕在以前的世代没有叫人知道, 像如今藉著圣灵启示他的圣使徒和先知一样.

3:6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
这奥祕就是外邦人在基督耶稣里, 藉著福音, 得以同为后嗣, 同为一体, 同蒙应许.

3:7 of which I became a servant, according to the gift of God’s grace given to me, according to the working of his power.
我作了这福音的执事, 是照神的恩赐, 这恩赐是照他运行的大能赐给我的.

3:8 To me, the least of all the saints, was given this grace: to proclaim the good news of the fathomless riches of Christ to the Gentiles,
我本来比众圣徒中最小的还小, 然而他还赐我这恩典, 叫我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外邦人,

3:9 and to enlighten everyone as to what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages by God, who created all things,
又使众人都明白, 这历代以来隐藏在创造万物之神里的奥祕是如何安排的,

3:10 in order that the many-sided wisdom of God might be made known now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places through the church,
为要藉著教会使天上执政的,掌权的, 现在得知神百般的智慧.

3:11 according to the purpose of the ages which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,
这是照神从万世以前, 在我们主基督耶稣里所定的旨意.

3:12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through faith in him.
我们因信耶稣, 就在他里面放胆无惧, 笃信不疑地来到神面前.

3:13 Therefore I ask you not to be discouraged at my afflictions on behalf of you, which are your glory.
所以, 我求你们不要因我为你们所受的患难丧胆, 这原是你们的荣耀.

3:14 On account of this, I bend my knees before the Father,
因此, 我在父面前屈膝,

3:15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
(天上地上的各(或译: 全)家, 都是从他得名. )

3:16 that he may grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
求他按著他丰盛的荣耀, 藉著他的灵, 叫你们心里的力量刚强起来,

3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (you having been firmly rooted and established in love),
使基督因你们的信, 住在你们心里, 叫你们的爱心有根有基,

3:18 in order that you may be strong enough to grasp together with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth,
能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深,

3:19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的, 便叫神一切所充满的, 充满了你们.

3:20 Now to the one who is able to do beyond all measure more than all that we ask or think, according to the power that is at work in us,
神能照着运行在我们心里的大力充充足足地成就一切, 超过我们所求所想的.

3:21 to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
但愿他在教会中, 并在基督耶稣里, 得着荣耀, 直到世世代代, 永永远远. 阿们!

Ephesians - Chapter 4

4:1 Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to live in a manner worthy of the calling with which you were called:
我为主被囚的劝你们: 既然蒙召, 行事为人就当与蒙召的恩相称.

4:2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, putting up with one another in love,
凡事谦虚,温柔,忍耐, 用爱心互相宽容,

4:3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace;
用和平彼此联络, 竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心.

4:4 one body and one Spirit (just as also you were called with one hope of your calling),
身体只有一个, 圣灵只有一个, 正如你们蒙召同有一个指望.

4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
一主, 一信, 一洗,

4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
一神, 就是众人的父, 超乎众人之上, 贯乎众人之中, 也住在众人之内.

4:7 Now to each one of us was given this grace, according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
我们各人蒙恩, 都是照基督所量给各人的恩赐.

4:8 Therefore it says, “Ascending on high he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.”
所以经上说: 他升上高天的时候, 掳掠了仇敌, 将各样的恩赐赏给人.

4:9 Now “he ascended,” what is it, except that he also descended to the lower regions of the earth?
(既说升上, 岂不是先降在地下吗?

4:10 The one who descended himself is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, in order that he might fill all things.
那降下的, 就是远升诸天之上要充满万有的. )

4:11 And he himself gave some as apostles and some as prophets and some as evangelists and some as pastors and teachers
他所赐的, 有使徒, 有先知, 有传福音的, 有牧师和教师,

4:12 for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
为要成全圣徒, 各尽其职, 建立基督的身体,

4:13 until we all reach the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to a measure of the maturity of the fullness of Christ,
直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一, 认识神的儿子, 得以长大成人, 满有基督长成的身量,

4:14 so that we may no longer be infants, tossed about by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching, by the trickery of people, by craftiness with reference to the scheming of deceit.
使我们不再作小孩子, 中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术, 被一切异教之风摇动, 飘来飘去, 就随从各样的异端;

4:15 But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow into him with reference to all things, who is the head, Christ,
惟用爱心说诚实话, 凡事长进, 连于元首基督,

4:16 from whom the whole body, joined together and held together by every supporting ligament, according to the working by measure of each single part, the growth of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.
全身都靠他联络得合式, 百节各按各职, 照着各体的功用彼此相助, 便叫身体渐渐增长, 在爱中建立自己.

4:17 This therefore I say and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the Gentiles walk: in the futility of their mind,
所以我说, 且在主里确实地说, 你们行事不要再像外邦人存虚妄的心行事.

4:18 being darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
他们心地昏昧, 与神所赐的生命隔绝了, 都因自己无知, 心里刚硬;

4:19 who, becoming callous, gave themselves over to licentiousness, for the pursuit of all uncleanness in greediness.
良心既然丧尽, 就放纵私欲, 贪行种种的污秽.

4:20 But you did not learn Christ in this way,
你们学了基督, 却不是这样.

4:21 if indeed you have heard about him, and you were taught by him (just as truth is in Jesus),
如果你们听过他的道, 领了他的教, 学了他的真理,

4:22 that you take off, according to your former way of life, the old man, who is being destroyed according to deceitful desires,
就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人, 这旧人是因私欲的迷惑渐渐变坏的;

4:23 be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
又要将你们的心志改换一新,

4:24 and put on the new man (in accordance with God), who is created in righteousness and holiness from the truth.
并且穿上新人; 这新人是照着神的形像造的, 有真理的仁义和圣洁.

4:25 Therefore, putting aside the lie, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
所以, 你们要弃绝谎言, 各人与邻舍说实话, 因为我们是互相为肢体.

4:26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger,
生气却不要犯罪; 不可含怒到日落,

4:27 nor give place to the devil.
也不可给魔鬼留地步.

4:28 The one who steals must steal no longer, but instead must labor, working with his own hands what is good, so that he may have something to share with the one who has need.
从前偷窃的, 不要再偷; 总要劳力, 亲手做正经事, 就可有余分给那缺少的人.

4:29 No rotten word must proceed from your mouth, but only something good for the building up of the need, in order that it may give grace to those who hear,
污秽的言语一句不可出口, 只要随事说造就人的好话, 叫听见的人得益处.

4:30 and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
不要叫神的圣灵担忧; 你们原是受了他的印记, 等候得赎的日子来到.

4:31 All bitterness, and rage, and wrath, and clamor, and abusive speech, must be removed from you, together with all wickedness.
一切苦毒,恼恨,忿怒,嚷闹,毁谤, 并一切的恶毒(或译: 阴毒), 都当从你们中间除掉;

4:32 Become kind toward one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as also God in Christ has forgiven you.
并要以恩慈相待, 存怜悯的心, 彼此饶恕, 正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样.

Ephesians - Chapter 5

5:1 Therefore become imitators of God, as beloved children,
所以, 你们该效法神, 好像蒙慈爱的儿女一样.

5:2 and live in love, just as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant smell.
也要凭爱心行事, 正如基督爱我们, 为我们舍了自己, 当作馨香的供物和祭物, 献与神.

5:3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or greediness, must not even be named among you (as is fitting for saints),
至于淫乱并一切污秽, 或是贪婪, 在你们中间连提都不可, 方合圣徒的体统.

5:4 and obscenity, and foolish talk, or coarse jesting (which are not proper), but rather thanksgiving.
淫词,妄语, 和戏笑的话都不相宜; 总要说感谢的话.

5:5 For this you know for certain, that every sexually immoral person, or unclean person, or greedy person (who is an idolater), does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
因为你们确实地知道, 无论是淫乱的, 是污秽的, 是有贪心的, 在基督和神的国里都是无分的. 有贪心的, 就与拜偶像的一样.

5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.
不要被人虚浮的话欺哄; 因这些事, 神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子.

5:7 Therefore do not be sharers with them,
所以, 你们不要与他们同伙.

5:8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light
从前你们是暗昧的, 但如今在主里面是光明的, 行事为人就当像光明的子女.

5:9 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
光明所结的果子就是一切良善,公义,诚实.

5:10 trying to learn what is well-pleasing to the Lord.
总要察验何为主所喜悦的事.

5:11 And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose them.
那暗昧无益的事, 不要与人同行, 倒要责备行这事的人;

5:12 For it is shameful even to speak about the things being done by them in secret,
因为他们暗中所行的, 就是提起来也是可耻的.

5:13 but all things exposed by the light are made visible,
凡事受了责备, 就被光显明出来, 因为一切能显明的就是光.

5:14 for everything made visible is light. Therefore it says, Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
所以主说: 你这睡着的人当醒过来, 从死里复活! 基督就要光照你了.

5:15 Therefore, consider carefully how you live, not as unwise but as wise,
你们要谨慎行事, 不要像愚昧人, 当像智慧人.

5:16 making the most of the time because the days are evil.
要爱惜光阴, 因为现今的世代邪恶.

5:17 Because of this do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
不要作糊涂人, 要明白主的旨意如何.

5:18 And do not be drunk with wine (in which is dissipation), but be filled by the Spirit,
不要醉酒, 酒能使人放荡; 乃要被圣灵充满.

5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing praise in your heart to the Lord,
当用诗章,颂词,灵歌彼此对说, 口唱心和地赞美主.

5:20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,
凡事要奉我们主耶稣基督的名常常感谢父神.

5:21 being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ
又当存敬畏基督的心, 彼此顺服.

5:22 —wives to their own husbands as to the Lord,
你们作妻子的, 当顺服自己的丈夫, 如同顺服主.

5:23 because the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church (he himself being the Savior of the body).
因为丈夫是妻子的头, 如同基督是教会的头; 他又是教会全体的救主.

5:24 But as the church is subject to Christ, thus also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything.
教会怎样顺服基督, 妻子也要怎样凡事顺服丈夫.

5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her;
你们作丈夫的, 要爱你们的妻子, 正如基督爱教会, 为教会舍己.

5:26 in order that he might sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word;
要用水藉著道把教会洗净, 成为圣洁,

5:27 in order that he might present to himself the church glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she may be holy and blameless.
可以献给自己, 作个荣耀的教会, 毫无玷污,皱纹等类的病, 乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的.

5:28 Thus also husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. The one who loves his own wife loves himself.
丈夫也当照样爱妻子, 如同爱自己的身子; 爱妻子便是爱自己了.

5:29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ does the church,
从来没有人恨恶自己的身子, 总是保养顾惜, 正像基督待教会一样,

5:30 because we are members of his body.
因我们是他身上的肢体(有古卷加: 就是他的骨他的肉).

5:31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
为这个缘故, 人要离开父母, 与妻子连合, 二人成为一体.

5:32 (This mystery is great, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.)
这是极大的奥祕, 但我是指著基督和教会说的.

5:33 Only you also, each one of you, must thus love his own wife as himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
然而, 你们各人都当爱妻子, 如同爱自己一样. 妻子也当敬重她的丈夫.

Ephesians - Chapter 6

6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
你们作儿女的, 要在主里听从父母, 这是理所当然的.

6:2 “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),
“要孝敬父母, 使你得福, 在世长寿. ”这是第一条带应许的诫命.

6:3 “in order that it may be well with you, and you may live a long time on the earth.”
a

6:4 And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

6:6 not while being watched, as people pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,
不要只在眼前事奉, 像是讨人喜欢的, 要像基督的仆人, 从心里遵行神的旨意.

6:7 serving with goodwill as to the Lord and not to people,
甘心事奉, 好像服事主, 不像服事人.

6:8 because you know that each one of you, whatever good he should do, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.
因为晓得各人所行的善事, 不论是为奴的, 是自主的, 都必按所行的得主的赏赐.

6:9 And masters, do the same things to them, giving up threats, knowing that both their Lord and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
你们作主人的, 待仆人也是一理, 不要威吓他们. 因为知道, 他们和你们同有一位主在天上; 他并不偏待人.

6:10 Finally, become strong in the Lord and in the might of his strength.
我还有末了的话: 你们要靠着主, 倚赖他的大能大力作刚强的人.

6:11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil,
要穿戴神所赐的全副军装, 就能抵挡魔鬼的诡计.

6:12 because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
因我们并不是与属血气的争战(原文是摔跤; 下同), 乃是与那些执政的,掌权的,管辖这幽暗世界的, 以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战.

6:13 Because of this, take up the full armor of God, in order that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand.
所以, 要拿起神所赐的全副军装, 好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌, 并且成就了一切, 还能站立得住.

6:14 Stand therefore, girding your waist with truth, and putting on the breastplate of righteousness,
所以要站稳了, 用真理当作带子束腰, 用公义当作护心镜遮胸,

6:15 and binding shoes under your feet with the preparation of the good news of peace,
又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上.

6:16 in everything taking up the shield of faith, with which you are able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one,
此外, 又拿着信德当作盾牌, 可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭;

6:17 and receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
并戴上救恩的头盔, 拿着圣灵的宝剑, 就是神的道;

6:18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and to this end being alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
靠着圣灵, 随时多方祷告祈求; 并要在此警醒不倦, 为众圣徒祈求,

6:19 and for me, that a word may be given to me at the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
也为我祈求, 使我得着口才, 能以放胆开口讲明福音的奥祕,

6:20 for the sake of which I am an ambassador in chains, that in them I may speak freely, as it is necessary for me to speak.
(我为这福音的奥祕作了带锁链的使者, )并使我照着当尽的本分放胆讲论.

6:21 Now, so that you also may know my circumstances, what I am doing, Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things,
今有所亲爱,忠心事奉主的兄弟推基古, 他要把我的事情, 并我的景况如何全告诉你们, 叫你们知道.

6:22 whom I have sent to you for this very reason, that you may know our circumstances, and he may encourage your hearts.
我特意打发他到你们那里去, 好叫你们知道我们的光景, 又叫他安慰你们的心.

6:23 Peace to the brothers and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿平安,仁爱,信心从父神和主耶稣基督归与弟兄们!

6:24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.
并愿所有诚心爱我们主耶稣基督的人都蒙恩惠!

Philippians (腓利比书)

Philippians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons.
基督耶稣的仆人保罗和提摩太写信给凡住腓立比,在基督耶稣里的众圣徒, 和诸位监督, 诸位执事.

1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠,平安从神我们的父并主耶稣基督归与你们!

1:3 I give thanks to my God upon my every remembrance of you,
我每逢想念你们, 就感谢我的神;

1:4 always in my every prayer for all of you, making the prayer with joy,
每逢为你们众人祈求的时候, 常是欢欢喜喜地祈求.

1:5 because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now,
因为从头一天直到如今, 你们是同心合意地兴旺福音.

1:6 convinced of this same thing, that the one who began a good work in you will finish it until the day of Christ Jesus,
我深信那在你们心里动了善工的, 必成全这工, 直到耶稣基督的日子.

1:7 just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you are sharers of grace with me.
我为你们众人有这样的意念, 原是应当的; 因你们常在我心里, 无论我是在捆锁之中, 是辩明证实福音的时候, 你们都与我一同得恩.

1:8 For God is my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
我体会基督耶稣的心肠, 切切地想念你们众人; 这是神可以给我作见证的.

1:9 And this I pray: that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
我所祷告的, 就是要你们的爱心在知识和各样见识上多而又多,

1:10 so that you may approve what is superior, in order that you may be sincere and blameless in the day of Christ,
使你们能分别是非(或译: 喜爱那美好的事), 作诚实无过的人, 直到基督的日子;

1:11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
并靠着耶稣基督结满了仁义的果子, 叫荣耀称赞归与神.

1:12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have happened instead for the progress of the gospel,
弟兄们, 我愿意你们知道, 我所遭遇的事更是叫福音兴旺,

1:13 so that my imprisonment in Christ has become known in the whole praetorium and to all the rest,
以致我受的捆锁在御营全军和其余的人中, 已经显明是为基督的缘故.

1:14 and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, dare even more to speak the word without fear.
并且那在主里的弟兄多半因我受的捆锁就笃信不疑, 越发放胆传神的道, 无所惧怕.

1:15 Some even because of envy and strife preach Christ, but some also because of good will.
有的传基督是出于嫉妒纷争, 也有的是出于好意.

1:16 The latter do so from love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
这一等是出于爱心, 知道我是为辩明福音设立的;

1:17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction in my imprisonment.
那一等传基督是出于结党, 并不诚实, 意思要加增我捆锁的苦楚.

1:18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. But also I will rejoice,
这有何妨呢? 或是假意, 或是真心, 无论怎样, 基督究竟被传开了. 为此, 我就欢喜, 并且还要欢喜;

1:19 for I know that this will turn out to me for deliverance through your prayer and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
因为我知道, 这事藉著你们的祈祷和耶稣基督之灵的帮助, 终必叫我得救.

1:20 according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will be put to shame in nothing, but with all boldness, even now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether through life or through death.
照着我所切慕,所盼望的, 没有一事叫我羞愧. 只要凡事放胆, 无论是生是死, 总叫基督在我身上照常显大.

1:21 For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.
因我活着就是基督, 我死了就有益处.

1:22 But if it is to live in the flesh, this is fruitful work for me, and which I will prefer I do not know.
但我在肉身活着, 若成就我工夫的果子, 我就不知道该挑选甚么.

1:23 But I am hard pressed between the two options, having the desire to depart and to be with Christ, for this is very much better.
我正在两难之间, 情愿离世与基督同在, 因为这是好得无比的.

1:24 But to stay on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
然而, 我在肉身活着, 为你们更是要紧的.

1:25 And because I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
我既然这样深信, 就知道仍要住在世间, 且与你们众人同住, 使你们在所信的道上又长进又喜乐,

1:26 so that what you can be proud of may increase in Christ Jesus because of me through my return again to you.
叫你们在基督耶稣里的欢乐, 因我再到你们那里去, 就越发加增.

1:27 Only lead your lives in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent I hear your circumstances, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,
只要你们行事为人与基督的福音相称, 叫我或来见你们, 或不在你们那里, 可以听见你们的景况, 知道你们同有一个心志, 站立得稳, 为所信的福音齐心努力.

1:28 and not letting yourselves be intimidated in anything by your opponents, which is a sign of destruction to them, but of your salvation, and this from God,
凡事不怕敌人的惊吓, 这是证明他们沉沦, 你们得救都是出于神.

1:29 because to you has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on behalf of him,
因为你们蒙恩, 不但得以信服基督, 并要为他受苦.

1:30 having the same struggle which you saw in me and now hear about in me.
你们的争战, 就与你们在我身上从前所看见,现在所听见的一样.

Philippians - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
所以, 在基督里若有甚么劝勉, 爱心有甚么安慰, 圣灵有甚么交通, 心中有甚么慈悲怜悯,

2:2 complete my joy, so that you are in agreement, having the same love, united in spirit, having one purpose.
你们就要意念相同, 爱心相同, 有一样的心思, 有一样的意念, 使我的喜乐可以满足.

2:3 Do nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves,
凡事不可结党, 不可贪图虚浮的荣耀; 只要存心谦卑, 各人看别人比自己强.

2:4 each of you not looking out for your own interests, but also each of you for the interests of others.
各人不要单顾自己的事, 也要顾别人的事.

2:5 Think this in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
你们当以基督耶稣的心为心:

2:6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God something to be grasped,
他本有神的形像, 不以自己与神同等为强夺的;

2:7 but emptied himself by taking the form of a slave, by becoming in the likeness of people. And being found in appearance like a man,
反倒虚己, 取了奴仆的形像, 成为人的样式;

2:8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, that is, death on a cross.
既有人的样子, 就自己卑微, 存心顺服, 以至于死, 且死在十字架上.

2:9 Therefore also God exalted him and graciously granted him the name above every name,
所以, 神将他升为至高, 又赐给他那超乎万名之上的名,

2:10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth,
叫一切在天上的,地上的, 和地底下的, 因耶稣的名无不屈膝,

2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
无不口称“耶稣基督为主”, 使荣耀归与父神.

2:12 Therefore my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
这样看来, 我亲爱的弟兄, 你们既是常顺服的, 不但我在你们那里, 就是我如今不在你们那里, 更是顺服的, 就当恐惧战兢做成你们得救的工夫.

2:13 For the one at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure, is God.
因为你们立志行事都是神在你们心里运行, 为要成就他的美意.

2:14 Do all things without grumbling and disputing,
凡所行的, 都不要发怨言, 起争论,

2:15 in order that you may become blameless and innocent, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as stars in the world,
使你们无可指摘, 诚实无伪, 在这弯曲悖谬的世代作神无瑕疵的儿女. 你们显在这世代中, 好像明光照耀,

2:16 holding fast to the word of life, for a source of pride to me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
将生命的道表明出来, 叫我在基督的日子好夸我没有空跑, 也没有徒劳.

2:17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and rejoice with all of you.
我以你们的信心为供献的祭物, 我若被浇奠在其上, 也是喜乐, 并且与你们众人一同喜乐.

2:18 And in the same way also you rejoice and rejoice with me.
你们也要照样喜乐, 并且与我一同喜乐.

2:19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged when I know your circumstances.
我靠主耶稣指望快打发提摩太去见你们, 叫我知道你们的事, 心里就得着安慰.

2:20 For I have no one like-minded who will sincerely be concerned about your circumstances.
因为我没有别人与我同心, 实在挂念你们的事.

2:21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
别人都求自己的事, 并不求耶稣基督的事.

2:22 But you know his proven character, that like a child with a father he served with me for the gospel.
但你们知道提摩太的明证; 他兴旺福音, 与我同劳, 待我像儿子待父亲一样.

2:23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see my circumstances.
所以, 我一看出我的事要怎样了结, 就盼望立刻打发他去;

2:24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.
但我靠着主自信我也必快去.

2:25 But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your messenger and servant of my need,
然而, 我想必须打发以巴弗提到你们那里去. 他是我的兄弟, 与我一同做工, 一同当兵, 是你们所差遣的, 也是供给我需用的.

2:26 because he was longing for all of you and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
他很想念你们众人, 并且极其难过, 因为你们听见他病了.

2:27 For indeed he was sick, coming near to death, but God had mercy on him and not on him only, but also on me, so that I would not have grief upon grief.
他实在是病了, 几乎要死; 然而神怜恤他, 不但怜恤他, 也怜恤我, 免得我忧上加忧.

2:28 Therefore I am sending him with special urgency, in order that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.
所以我越发急速打发他去, 叫你们再见他, 就可以喜乐, 我也可以少些忧愁.

2:29 Therefore welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and consider such people highly honored,
故此, 你们要在主里欢欢乐乐地接待他, 而且要尊重这样的人;

2:30 because on account of the work of Christ he came near to the point of death, risking his life in order that he might make up for your inability to serve me.
因他为做基督的工夫, 几乎至死, 不顾性命, 要补足你们供给我的不及之处.

Philippians - Chapter 3

3:1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not troublesome to me, but is a safeguard for you.
弟兄们, 我还有话说, 你们要靠主喜乐. 我把这话再写给你们, 于我并不为难, 于你们却是妥当.

3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the mutilation.
应当防备犬类, 防备作恶的, 防备妄自行割的.

3:3 For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and do not put confidence in the flesh,
因为真受割礼的, 乃是我们这以神的灵敬拜,在基督耶稣里夸口,不靠着肉体的.

3:4 although I could have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks to put confidence in the flesh, I can do so more:
其实, 我也可以靠肉体; 若是别人想他可以靠肉体, 我更可以靠着了.

3:5 circumcised on the eighth day, from the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born from Hebrews, according to the law a Pharisee,
我第八天受割礼; 我是以色列族,便雅悯支派的人, 是希伯来人所生的希伯来人. 就律法说, 我是法利赛人;

3:6 according to zeal persecuting the church, according to the righteousness in the law being blameless.
就热心说, 我是逼迫教会的; 就律法上的义说, 我是无可指摘的.

3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, these things I have considered loss because of Christ.
只是我先前以为与我有益的, 我现在因基督都当作有损的.

3:8 More than that, I even consider all things to be loss because of the surpassing greatness of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and consider them dung, in order that I may gain Christ
不但如此, 我也将万事当作有损的, 因我以认识我主基督耶稣为至宝. 我为他已经丢弃万事, 看作粪土, 为要得着基督;

3:9 and may be found in him, not having my righteousness which is from the law, but which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith,
并且得以在他里面, 不是有自己因律法而得的义, 乃是有信基督的义, 就是因信神而来的义,

3:10 so that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
使我认识基督, 晓得他复活的大能, 并且晓得和他一同受苦, 效法他的死,

3:11 if somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
或者我也得以从死里复活.

3:12 Not that I have already received this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on if indeed I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ.
这不是说我已经得着了, 已经完全了; 我乃是竭力追求, 或者可以得着基督耶稣所以得着我的(所以得着我的: 或译所要我得的).

3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it. But I do one thing, forgetting the things behind and straining toward the things ahead,
弟兄们, 我不是以为自己已经得着了; 我只有一件事, 就是忘记背后, 努力面前的,

3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
向着标竿直跑, 要得神在基督耶稣里从上面召我来得的奖赏.

3:15 Therefore as many as are perfect, let us hold this opinion, and if you think anything differently, God will reveal this also to you.
所以我们中间, 凡是完全人总要存这样的心; 若在甚么事上存别样的心, 神也必以此指示你们.

3:16 Only to what we have attained, to the same hold on.
然而, 我们到了甚么地步, 就当照着甚么地步行.

3:17 Become fellow imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who walk in this way, just as you have us as an example.
弟兄们, 你们要一同效法我, 也当留意看那些照我们榜样行的人.

3:18 For many live, of whom I spoke about to you many times, but now speak about even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
因为有许多人行事是基督十字架的仇敌. 我屡次告诉你们, 现在又流泪地告诉你们:

3:19 whose end is destruction, whose God is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, the ones who think on earthly things.
他们的结局就是沉沦; 他们的神就是自己的肚腹. 他们以自己的羞辱为荣耀, 专以地上的事为念.

3:20 For our commonwealth exists in heaven, from which also we eagerly await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
我们却是天上的国民, 并且等候救主, 就是主耶稣基督从天上降临.

3:21 who will transform our humble body to be conformed to his glorious body, in accordance with the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
他要按著那能叫万有归服自己的大能, 将我们这卑贱的身体改变形状, 和他自己荣耀的身体相似.

Philippians - Chapter 4

4:1 So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.
我所亲爱,所想念的弟兄们, 你们就是我的喜乐, 我的冠冕. 我亲爱的弟兄, 你们应当靠主站立得稳.

4:2 I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Syntyche to be in agreement in the Lord.
我劝友阿蝶和循都基, 要在主里同心.

4:3 Yes, I ask also you, true yokefellow, help them, who struggled along with me in the gospel with both Clement and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
我也求你这真实同负一轭的, 帮助这两个女人, 因为她们在福音上曾与我一同劳苦; 还有革利免, 并其余和我一同做工的, 他们的名字都在生命册上.

4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.
你们要靠主常常喜乐. 我再说, 你们要喜乐.

4:5 Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord is near.
当叫众人知道你们谦让的心. 主已经近了.

4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
应当一无挂虑, 只要凡事藉著祷告,祈求, 和感谢, 将你们所要的告诉神.

4:7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
神所赐,出人意外的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念.

4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things.
弟兄们, 我还有未尽的话: 凡是真实的,可敬的,公义的,清洁的,可爱的,有美名的, 若有甚么德行, 若有甚么称赞, 这些事你们都要思念.

4:9 And the things which you have learned and received and heard about and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
你们在我身上所学习的, 所领受的, 所听见的, 所看见的, 这些事你们都要去行, 赐平安的神就必与你们同在.

4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have renewed your concern for me, for whom also you were thinking, but you had no opportunity to express it.
我靠主大大地喜乐, 因为你们思念我的心如今又发生; 你们向来就思念我, 只是没得机会.

4:11 Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.
我并不是因缺乏说这话; 我无论在甚么景况都可以知足, 这是我已经学会了.

4:12 I know how both to make do with little and I know how to have an abundance. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to have an abundance and to go without.
我知道怎样处卑贱, 也知道怎样处丰富; 或饱足, 或饥饿; 或有余, 或缺乏, 随事随在, 我都得了祕诀.

4:13 I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me.
我靠着那加给我力量的, 凡事都能做.

4:14 Nevertheless you have done well by sharing with me in my affliction.
然而, 你们和我同受患难原是美事.

4:15 Now you also know, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone,
腓立比人哪, 你们也知道我初传福音离了马其顿的时候, 论到授受的事, 除了你们以外, 并没有别的教会供给我.

4:16 because even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent for my need.
就是我在帖撒罗尼迦, 你们也一次两次地打发人供给我的需用.

4:17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek for the profit that increases to your account.
我并不求甚么餽送, 所求的就是你们的果子渐渐增多, 归在你们的帐上.

4:18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am well supplied because I received from Epaphroditus what you had sent, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
但我样样都有, 并且有余. 我已经充足, 因我从以巴弗提受了你们的餽送, 当作极美的香气, 为神所收纳,所喜悦的祭物.

4:19 And my God will fulfill your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
我的神必照他荣耀的丰富, 在基督耶稣里, 使你们一切所需用的都充足.

4:20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
愿荣耀归给我们的父神, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

4:21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
请问在基督耶稣里的各位圣徒安. 在我这里的众弟兄都问你们安.

4:22 All the saints greet you, and especially those of Caesar’s household.
众圣徒都问你们安. 在凯撒家里的人特特地问你们安.

4:23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
愿主耶稣基督的恩常在你们心里!

Colossians (歌罗西书)

Colossians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
奉神旨意, 作基督耶稣使徒的保罗和兄弟提摩太

1:2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ in Colossae. Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
写信给歌罗西的圣徒, 在基督里有忠心的弟兄. 愿恩惠,平安从神我们的父归与你们!

1:3 We give thanks always to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you,
我们感谢神,我们主耶稣基督的父, 常常为你们祷告;

1:4 since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints,
因听见你们在基督耶稣里的信心, 并向众圣徒的爱心,

1:5 because of the hope reserved for you in heaven, which you have heard about beforehand in the word of truth, the gospel,
是为那给你们存在天上的盼望; 这盼望就是你们从前在福音真理的道上所听见的.

1:6 that has come to you, just as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day you heard about and understood the grace of God in truth,
这福音传到你们那里, 也传到普天之下, 并且结果, 增长, 如同在你们中间, 自从你们听见福音, 真知道神恩惠的日子一样.

1:7 just as you learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,
正如你们从我们所亲爱,一同作仆人的以巴弗所学的. 他为我们(有古卷: 你们)作了基督忠心的执事,

1:8 who also made clear to us your love in the Spirit.
也把你们因圣灵所存的爱心告诉了我们.

1:9 Because of this also we, from the day we heard about it, did not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,
因此, 我们自从听见的日子, 也就为你们不住地祷告祈求, 愿你们在一切属灵的智慧悟性上, 满心知道神的旨意;

1:10 so that you may live in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good deed and increasing in the knowledge of God,
好叫你们行事为人对得起主, 凡事蒙他喜悦, 在一切善事上结果子, 渐渐地多知道神;

1:11 enabled with all power, according to his glorious might, for all steadfastness and patience with joy,
照他荣耀的权能, 得以在各样的力上加力, 好叫你们凡事欢欢喜喜地忍耐宽容;

1:12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light,
又感谢父, 叫我们能与众圣徒在光明中同得基业.

1:13 who has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,
他救了我们脱离黑暗的权势, 把我们迁到他爱子的国里;

1:14 in whom we have the redemption, the forgiveness of sins,
我们在爱子里得蒙救赎, 罪过得以赦免.

1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation,
爱子是那不能看见之神的像, 是首生的, 在一切被造的以先.

1:16 because all things in the heavens and on the earth were created by him, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things were created through him and for him,
因为万有都是靠他造的, 无论是天上的, 地上的; 能看见的, 不能看见的; 或是有位的, 主治的, 执政的, 掌权的; 一概都是藉著他造的, 又是为他造的.

1:17 and he himself is before all things, and in him all things are held together,
他在万有之先; 万有也靠他而立.

1:18 and he himself is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in everything,
他也是教会全体之首. 他是元始, 是从死里首先复生的, 使他可以在凡事上居首位.

1:19 because he was well pleased for all the fullness to dwell in him,
因为父喜欢叫一切的丰盛在他里面居住.

1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by making peace through the blood of his cross, through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
既然藉著他在十字架上所流的血成就了和平, 便藉著他叫万有─无论是地上的,天上的─都与自己和好了.

1:21 And although you were formerly alienated and enemies in attitude, because of your evil deeds,
你们从前与神隔绝, 因着恶行, 心里与他为敌.

1:22 but now you have been reconciled by his physical body through death, to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,
但如今他藉著基督的肉身受死, 叫你们与自己和好, 都成了圣洁, 没有瑕疵, 无可责备, 把你们引到自己面前.

1:23 if indeed you remain in the faith, established and steadfast and not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
只要你们在所信的道上恒心, 根基稳固, 坚定不移, 不至被引动失去(原文是离开)福音的盼望. 这福音就是你们所听过的, 也是传与普天下万人听的(原文是凡受造的), 我－保罗也作了这福音的执事.

1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings on behalf of you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking of the afflictions of Christ, on behalf of his body which is the church,
现在我为你们受苦, 倒觉欢乐; 并且为基督的身体, 就是为教会, 要在我肉身上补满基督患难的缺欠.

1:25 of which I became a minister, according to God’s stewardship which was given to me for you, to complete the word of God,
我照神为你们所赐我的职分作了教会的执事, 要把神的道理传得全备,

1:26 the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been revealed to his saints,
这道理就是历世历代所隐藏的奥祕; 但如今向他的圣徒显明了.

1:27 to whom God wanted to make known what is the glorious wealth of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,
神愿意叫他们知道, 这奥祕在外邦人中有何等丰盛的荣耀, 就是基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望.

1:28 whom we proclaim, by admonishing every person and teaching every person with all wisdom, in order that we may present every person mature in Christ,
我们传扬他, 是用诸般的智慧, 劝戒各人, 教导各人, 要把各人在基督里完完全全地引到神面前.

1:29 for which purpose also I labor, striving according to his working which is at work powerfully in me.
我也为此劳苦, 照着他在我里面运用的大能尽心竭力.

Colossians - Chapter 2

2:1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and all those who have not seen my face in person,
我愿意你们晓得, 我为你们和老底嘉人, 并一切没有与我亲自见面的人, 是何等地尽心竭力;

2:2 so that their hearts may be encouraged, united in love and into all the wealth of the full assurance of insight into the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ,
要叫他们的心得安慰, 因爱心互相联络, 以致丰丰足足在悟性中有充足的信心, 使他们真知神的奥祕, 就是基督;

2:3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
所积蓄的一切智慧知识, 都在他里面藏着.

2:4 I say this in order that no one will deceive you with persuasive speech,
我说这话, 免得有人用花言巧语迷惑你们.

2:5 for even if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
我身子虽与你们相离, 心却与你们同在, 见你们循规蹈矩, 信基督的心也坚固, 我就欢喜了.

2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, live in him,
你们既然接受了主基督耶稣, 就当遵他而行,

2:7 firmly rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding with thankfulness.
在他里面生根建造, 信心坚固, 正如你们所领的教训, 感谢的心也更增长了.

2:8 Beware lest anyone take you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world and not according to Christ,
你们要谨慎, 恐怕有人用他的理学和虚空的妄言, 不照着基督, 乃照人间的遗传和世上的小学就把你们掳去.

2:9 because in him all the fullness of deity dwells bodily,
因为神本性一切的丰盛都有形有体地居住在基督里面,

2:10 and you are filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority,
你们在他里面也得了丰盛. 他是各样执政掌权者的元首.

2:11 in whom also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made by hands, by the removal of the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
你们在他里面也受了不是人手所行的割礼, 乃是基督使你们脱去肉体情欲的割礼.

2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which also you were raised together with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
你们既受洗与他一同埋葬, 也就在此与他一同复活, 都因信那叫他从死里复活神的功用.

2:13 And although you were dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
你们从前在过犯和未受割礼的肉体中死了, 神赦免了你们(或译: 我们)一切过犯, 便叫你们与基督一同活过来;

2:14 having destroyed the certificate of indebtedness in ordinances against us, which was hostile to us, and removed it out of the way by nailing it to the cross.
又涂抹了在律例上所写,攻击我们,有碍于我们的字据, 把它撤去, 钉在十字架上.

2:15 When he had disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he made a display of them in public, triumphing over them by it.
既将一切执政的,掌权的掳来, 明显给众人看, 就仗着十字架夸胜.

2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you with reference to eating or drinking or participation in a feast or a new moon or a Sabbath,
所以, 不拘在饮食上, 或节期,月朔,安息日都不可让人论断你们.

2:17 which are a shadow of what is to come, but the reality is Christ.
这些原是后事的影儿; 那形体却是基督.

2:18 Let no one condemn you, taking pleasure in humility and the worship of angels, going into detail about the things which he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,
不可让人因着故意谦虚和敬拜天使, 就夺去你们的奖赏. 这等人拘泥在所见过的(有古卷: 这等人窥察所没有见过的), 随着自己的欲心, 无故地自高自大,

2:19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by the ligaments and sinews, grows with the growth of God.
不持定元首. 全身既然靠着他, 筋节得以相助联络, 就因神大得长进.

2:20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as if living in the world?
你们若是与基督同死, 脱离了世上的小学, 为甚么仍像在世俗中活着,服从那“不可拿,不可尝,不可摸”等类的规条呢?

2:21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,”
a

2:22 which things are all meant for destruction by consuming according to human commandments and teachings,
这都是照人所吩咐,所教导的. 说到这一切, 正用的时候就都败坏了.

2:23 which things although they have, to be sure, an appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and humility and unsparing treatment of the body, do not have any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
这些规条使人徒有智慧之名, 用私意崇拜, 自表谦卑, 苦待己身, 其实在克制肉体的情欲上是毫无功效.

Colossians - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore, if you have been raised together with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
所以, 你们若真与基督一同复活, 就当求在上面的事; 那里有基督坐在神的右边.

3:2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things on earth.
你们要思念上面的事, 不要思念地上的事.

3:3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
因为你们已经死了, 你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面.

3:4 When Christ, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.
基督是我们的生命, 他显现的时候, 你们也要与他一同显现在荣耀里.

3:5 Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustful passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry,
所以, 要治死你们在地上的肢体, 就如淫乱,污秽,邪情,恶欲, 和贪婪(贪婪就与拜偶像一样).

3:6 because of which the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,
因这些事, 神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子.

3:7 in which also you once lived, when you used to live in them.
当你们在这些事中活着的时候, 也曾这样行过.

3:8 But now you also lay aside all these things: anger, rage, wickedness, slander, abusive language from your mouth.
但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事, 以及恼恨,忿怒,恶毒(或译: 阴毒),毁谤, 并口中污秽的言语.

3:9 Do not lie to one another, because you have taken off the old man together with his deeds,
不要彼此说谎; 因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为,

3:10 and have put on the new man that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created him,
穿上了新人. 这新人在知识上渐渐更新, 正如造他主的形像.

3:11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all, and in all.
在此并不分希腊人,犹太人, 受割礼的,未受割礼的, 化外人,西古提人, 为奴的,自主的, 惟有基督是包括一切, 又住在各人之内.

3:12 Therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and dearly loved, put on affection, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience,
所以, 你们既是神的选民, 圣洁蒙爱的人, 就要存(原文是穿; 下同)怜悯,恩慈,谦虚,温柔,忍耐的心.

3:13 putting up with one another and forgiving one another. If anyone should have a complaint against anyone, just as also the Lord forgave you, thus also you do the same.
倘若这人与那人有嫌隙, 总要彼此包容, 彼此饶恕; 主怎样饶恕了你们, 你们也要怎样饶恕人.

3:14 And to all these things add love, which is the bond of perfection.
在这一切之外, 要存著爱心, 爱心就是联络全德的.

3:15 And the peace of Christ must rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主; 你们也为此蒙召, 归为一体; 且要存感谢的心.

3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God,
当用各样的智慧, 把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里(或译: 当把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里, 以各样的智慧), 用诗章,颂词,灵歌, 彼此教导, 互相劝戒, 心被恩感, 歌颂神.

3:17 and everything whatever you do in word or in deed, giving thanks for all things in the name of the Lord Jesus to God the Father through him.
无论做甚么, 或说话或行事, 都要奉主耶稣的名, 藉著他感谢父神.

3:18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
你们作妻子的, 当顺服自己的丈夫, 这在主里面是相宜的.

3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
你们作丈夫的, 要爱你们的妻子, 不可苦待她们.

3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.
你们作儿女的, 要凡事听从父母, 因为这是主所喜悦的.

3:21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not become discouraged.
你们作父亲的, 不要惹儿女的气, 恐怕他们失了志气.

3:22 Slaves, obey your human masters in everything, not while being watched, as people pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
你们作仆人的, 要凡事听从你们肉身的主人, 不要只在眼前事奉, 像是讨人喜欢的, 总要存心诚实敬畏主.

3:23 Whatever you do, accomplish it from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to people,
无论做甚么, 都要从心里做, 像是给主做的, 不是给人做的,

3:24 because you know that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ.
因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐; 你们所事奉的乃是主基督.

3:25 For the one who does wrong will receive back whatever wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
那行不义的必受不义的报应; 主并不偏待人.

Colossians - Chapter 4

4:1 Masters, grant your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.
你们作主人的, 要公公平平地待仆人, 因为知道你们也有一位主在天上.

4:2 Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving,
你们要恒切祷告, 在此警醒感恩.

保罗,西拉,提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦在父神和主耶稣基督里的教会. 愿恩惠,平安归与你们!

1:2 We give thanks to God always concerning all of you, making mention constantly in our prayers,
我们为你们众人常常感谢神, 祷告的时候提到你们,

1:3 because we remember your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,
在神─我们的父面前, 不住地记念你们因信心所做的工夫, 因爱心所受的劳苦, 因盼望我们主耶稣基督所存的忍耐.

1:4 knowing, brothers dearly loved by God, that he has chosen you,
被神所爱的弟兄啊, 我知道你们是蒙拣选的;

1:5 because our gospel did not come to you with word only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, just as you know what sort of people we became among you for your sake.
因为我们的福音传到你们那里, 不独在乎言语, 也在乎权能和圣灵, 并充足的信心. 正如你们知道, 我们在你们那里, 为你们的缘故是怎样为人.

1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
并且你们在大难之中, 蒙了圣灵所赐的喜乐, 领受真道就效法我们, 也效法了主;

1:7 so that you became an example to all those who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia,
甚至你们作了马其顿和亚该亚所有信主之人的榜样.

1:8 for from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.
因为主的道从你们那里已经传扬出来. 你们向神的信心不但在马其顿和亚该亚, 就是在各处也都传开了, 所以不用我们说甚么话.

1:9 For they themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
因为他们自己已经报明我们是怎样进到你们那里, 你们是怎样离弃偶像, 归向神, 要服事那又真又活的神,

等候他儿子从天降临, 就是他从死里复活的─那位救我们脱离将来忿怒的耶稣.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 2

2:1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our reception with you, that it was not in vain,
弟兄们, 你们自己原晓得我们进到你们那里并不是徒然的.

2:2 but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, just as you know, we had the courage in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.
我们从前在腓立比被害受辱, 这是你们知道的; 然而还是靠我们的神放开胆量, 在大争战中把神的福音传给你们.

2:3 For our exhortation is not from error or from impurity or with deceit,
我们的劝勉不是出于错误, 不是出于污秽, 也不是用诡诈.

2:4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, thus we speak, not as pleasing people but God, who examines our hearts.
但神既然验中了我们, 把福音托付我们, 我们就照样讲, 不是要讨人喜欢, 乃是要讨那察验我们心的神喜欢.

2:5 For never did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God is witness),
因为我们从来没有用过谄媚的话, 这是你们知道的; 也没有藏着贪心, 这是神可以作见证的.

2:6 nor seeking glory from people, neither from you nor from others.
我们作基督的使徒, 虽然可以叫人尊重, 却没有向你们或向别人求荣耀;

2:7 Although we could have insisted on our own importance as apostles of Christ, yet we became infants in your midst, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
只在你们中间存心温柔, 如同母亲乳养自己的孩子.

2:8 Longing for you in this way, we determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls, because you had become dear to us.
我们既是这样爱你们, 不但愿意将神的福音给你们, 连自己的性命也愿意给你们, 因你们是我们所疼爱的.

2:9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and hardship: working by night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
弟兄们, 你们记念我们的辛苦劳碌, 昼夜做工, 传神的福音给你们, 免得叫你们一人受累.

2:10 You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we became to you who believe,
我们向你们信主的人, 是何等圣洁,公义,无可指摘, 有你们作见证, 也有神作见证.

2:11 just as you know how we treated each one of you, like a father his own children,
你们也晓得, 我们怎样劝勉你们, 安慰你们, 嘱咐你们各人, 好像父亲待自己的儿女一样,

2:12 exhorting and consoling you and insisting that you live in a manner worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.
要叫你们行事对得起那召你们进他国,得他荣耀的神.

2:13 And because of this we also give thanks to God constantly, that when you received God’s word that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.
为此, 我们也不住地感谢神, 因你们听见我们所传神的道就领受了; 不以为是人的道, 乃以为是神的道. 这道实在是神的, 并且运行在你们信主的人心中.

2:14 For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews,
弟兄们, 你们曾效法犹太中在基督耶稣里神的各教会; 因为你们也受了本地人的苦害, 像他们受了犹太人的苦害一样.

2:15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who persecuted us, and who are not pleasing to God and are opposed to all people,
这犹太人杀了主耶稣和先知, 又把我们赶出去. 他们不得神的喜悦, 且与众人为敌,

2:16 hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved, so that they always fill up their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the end.
不许我们传道给外邦人使外邦人得救, 常常充满自己的罪恶. 神的忿怒临在他们身上已经到了极处.

2:17 But when we were made orphans by separation from you, brothers, for a short time (in face, not in heart), we were even more eager with great desire to see your face,
弟兄们, 我们暂时与你们离别, 是面目离别, 心里却不离别; 我们极力地想法子, 很愿意见你们的面.

2:18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, on more than one occasion—and Satan hindered us.
所以我们有意到你们那里; 我─保罗有一两次要去, 只是撒但阻挡了我们.

2:19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?
我们的盼望和喜乐, 并所夸的冠冕是甚么呢? 岂不是我们主耶稣来的时候,你们在他面前站立得住吗?

2:20 For you are our glory and joy.
因为你们就是我们的荣耀, 我们的喜乐.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we determined to be left behind in Athens alone,
我们既不能再忍, 就愿意独自等在雅典,

3:2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, in order to strengthen and to encourage you about your faith,
打发我们的兄弟在基督福音上作神执事的(作神执事的: 有古卷是与神同工的)提摩太前去, 坚固你们, 并在你们所信的道上劝慰你们,

3:3 so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed for this,
免得有人被诸般患难摇动. 因为你们自己知道, 我们受患难原是命定的.

3:4 for indeed when we were with you we told you beforehand that we were about to be afflicted, just as indeed it happened, and you know.
我们在你们那里的时候, 预先告诉你们, 我们必受患难, 以后果然应验了, 你们也知道.

3:5 Because of this, I also, when I could endure it no longer, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow the tempter tempted you and our labor should be in vain.
为此, 我既不能再忍, 就打发人去, 要晓得你们的信心如何, 恐怕那诱惑人的到底诱惑了你们, 叫我们的劳苦归于徒然.

3:6 But now, because Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, desiring to see us just as also we desire to see you,
但提摩太刚才从你们那里回来, 将你们信心和爱心的好消息报给我们, 又说你们常常记念我们, 切切地想见我们, 如同我们想见你们一样.

3:7 because of this, brothers, we have been comforted because of you in all our distress and affliction through your faith,
所以, 弟兄们, 我们在一切困苦患难之中, 因着你们的信心就得了安慰.

3:8 because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.
你们若靠主站立得稳, 我们就活了.

3:9 For what thanks can we repay to God concerning you, because of all the joy with which we rejoice because of you before our God,
我们在神面前, 因着你们甚是喜乐; 为这一切喜乐, 可用何等的感谢为你们报答神呢?

3:10 night and day praying beyond all measure that we may see your face and complete what is lacking in your faith?
我们昼夜切切地祈求, 要见你们的面, 补满你们信心的不足.

3:11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you,
愿神─我们的父和我们的主耶稣一直引领我们到你们那里去.

3:12 and may the Lord cause you to increase and to abound in love for one another and for all, just as also we do for you,
又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心, 并爱众人的心都能增长, 充足, 如同我们爱你们一样,

3:13 so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
好使你们当我们主耶稣同他众圣徒来的时候, 在我们父神面前, 心里坚固, 成为圣洁, 无可责备.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 4

4:1 Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more.
弟兄们, 我还有话说: 我们靠着主耶稣求你们, 劝你们, 你们既然受了我们的教训, 知道该怎样行可以讨神的喜悦, 就要照你们现在所行的更加勉励.

4:2 For you know what commands we gave to you through the Lord Jesus.
你们原晓得, 我们凭主耶稣传给你们甚么命令.

4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;
神的旨意就是要你们成为圣洁, 远避淫行;

4:4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
要你们各人晓得怎样用圣洁,尊贵守着自己的身体,

4:5 not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God;
不放纵私欲的邪情, 像那不认识神的外邦人.

4:6 not to transgress and to exploit his brother in the matter, because the Lord is the one who avenges concerning all these things, just as also we told you beforehand and testified solemnly.
不要一个人在这事上越分, 欺负他的弟兄; 因为这一类的事, 主必报应, 正如我预先对你们说过,又切切嘱咐你们的.

4:7 For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness.
神召我们, 本不是要我们沾染污秽, 乃是要我们成为圣洁.

4:8 Therefore the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.
所以, 那弃绝的, 不是弃绝人, 乃是弃绝那赐圣灵给你们的神.

4:9 But concerning brotherly love, I do not have need to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
论到弟兄们相爱, 不用人写信给你们; 因为你们自己蒙了神的教训, 叫你们彼此相爱.

4:10 for indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to progress even more,
你们向马其顿全地的众弟兄固然是这样行, 但我劝弟兄们要更加勉励.

4:11 and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
又要立志作安静人, 办自己的事, 亲手做工, 正如我们从前所吩咐你们的,

4:12 so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.
叫你们可以向外人行事端正, 自己也就没有甚么缺乏了.

4:13 Now we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you will not grieve as also the rest, who have no hope.
论到睡了的人, 我们不愿意弟兄们不知道, 恐怕你们忧伤, 像那些没有指望的人一样.

4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, thus also God will bring those who have fallen asleep through Jesus together with him.
我们若信耶稣死而复活了, 那已经在耶稣里睡了的人, 神也必将他们与耶稣一同带来.

4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain until the Lord’s coming, will not possibly precede those who have fallen asleep.
我们现在照主的话告诉你们一件事: 我们这活着还存留到主降临的人, 断不能在那已经睡了的人之先.

4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
因为主必亲自从天降临, 有呼叫的声音和天使长的声音, 又有神的号吹响; 那在基督里死了的人必先复活.

4:17 Then we who are alive, who remain, will be snatched away at the same time together with them in the clouds for a meeting with the Lord in the air, and thus we will be together with the Lord always.
以后我们这活着还存留的人必和他们一同被提到云里, 在空中与主相遇. 这样, 我们就要和主永远同在.

4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
所以, 你们当用这些话彼此劝慰.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 5

5:1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you,
弟兄们, 论到时候,日期, 不用写信给你们,

5:2 for you yourselves well know that the day of the Lord is coming in the same way as a thief in the night.
因为你们自己明明晓得, 主的日子来到, 好像夜间的贼一样.

5:3 Whenever they say “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction will overtake them like the birth pains of a pregnant woman, and they will not possibly escape.
人正说“平安稳妥”的时候, 灾祸忽然临到他们, 如同产难临到怀胎的妇人一样, 他们绝不能逃脱.

5:4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness, so that the day should catch you like a thief,
弟兄们, 你们却不在黑暗里, 叫那日子临到你们像贼一样.

5:5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
你们都是光明之子, 都是白昼之子. 我们不是属黑夜的, 也不是属幽暗的.

5:6 So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled.
所以, 我们不要睡觉像别人一样, 总要警醒谨守.

5:7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
因为睡了的人是在夜间睡, 醉了的人是在夜间醉.

5:8 But because we are of the day, we must be sober, by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation,
但我们既然属乎白昼, 就应当谨守, 把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸, 把得救的盼望当作头盔戴上.

5:9 because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
因为神不是预定我们受刑, 乃是预定我们藉著我们主耶稣基督得救.

5:10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live at the same time with him.
他替我们死, 叫我们无论醒著, 睡着, 都与他同活.

5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as indeed you are doing.
所以, 你们该彼此劝慰, 互相建立, 正如你们素常所行的.

5:12 Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and rule over you in the Lord and admonish you,
弟兄们, 我们劝你们敬重那在你们中间劳苦的人, 就是在主里面治理你们,劝戒你们的;

5:13 and to esteem them beyond all measure in love, because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
又因他们所做的工, 用爱心格外尊重他们. 你们也要彼此和睦.

5:14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, console the discouraged, help the sick, be patient toward all people.
我们又劝弟兄们, 要警戒不守规矩的人, 勉励灰心的人, 扶助软弱的人, 也要向众人忍耐.

5:15 See to it that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue good toward one another and toward all people.
你们要谨慎, 无论是谁都不可以恶报恶; 或是彼此相待, 或是待众人, 常要追求良善.

5:16 Rejoice always,
要常常喜乐,

5:17 pray constantly,
不住地祷告,

5:18 give thanks in everything; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
凡事谢恩; 因为这是神在基督耶稣里向你们所定的旨意.

5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
不要消灭圣灵的感动;

5:20 Do not despise prophecies,
不要藐视先知的讲论.

5:21 but examine all things; hold fast to what is good.
但要凡事察验; 善美的要持守,

5:22 Abstain from every form of evil.
各样的恶事要禁戒不做.

5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
愿赐平安的神亲自使你们全然成圣! 又愿你们的灵与魂与身子得蒙保守, 在我们主耶稣基督降临的时候, 完全无可指摘!

5:24 The one who calls you is faithful, who also will do this.
那召你们的本是信实的, 他必成就这事.

5:25 Brothers, pray for us.
请弟兄们为我们祷告.

5:26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
与众弟兄亲嘴问安, 务要圣洁.

5:27 I adjure you by the Lord, have this letter read aloud to all the brothers.
我指著主嘱咐你们, 要把这信念给众弟兄听.

5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
愿我主耶稣基督的恩常与你们同在!

II Thessalonians (帖撒罗尼迦后书)

II Thessalonians - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
保罗,西拉,提摩太写信给帖撒罗尼迦,在神─我们的父与主耶稣基督里的教会.

1:2 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
愿恩惠,平安从父神和主耶稣基督归与你们!

1:3 We ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers, just as it is fitting, because your faith is flourishing and the love of each one of you all toward one another is increasing
弟兄们, 我们该为你们常常感谢神, 这本是合宜的; 因你们的信心格外增长, 并且你们众人彼此相爱的心也都充足.

1:4 so that we ourselves boast in you in the churches of God about your patient endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring,
甚至我们在神的各教会里为你们夸口, 都因你们在所受的一切逼迫患难中, 仍旧存忍耐和信心.

1:5 a proof of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which also you are suffering,
这正是神公义判断的明证, 叫你们可算配得神的国; 你们就是为这国受苦.

1:6 since it is righteous in the sight of God to pay back those who are afflicting you with affliction,
神既是公义的, 就必将患难报应那加患难给你们的人,

1:7 and to you who are being afflicted, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels,
也必使你们这受患难的人与我们同得平安. 那时, 主耶稣同他有能力的天使从天上在火焰中显现,

1:8 with burning flame giving punishment to those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus,
要报应那不认识神和那不听从我主耶稣福音的人.

1:9 who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,
他们要受刑罚, 就是永远沉沦, 离开主的面和他权能的荣光.

1:10 whenever he should come to be glorified on that day by his saints and to be marveled at by all who believe, because our testimony was believed among you,
这正是主降临,要在他圣徒的身上得荣耀,又在一切信的人身上显为希奇的那日子. 我们对你们作的见证, 你们也信了.

1:11 for which purpose we also pray always for you, that you may be considered worthy of the calling of our God, and he might fulfill every desire for goodness and work of faith with power,
因此, 我们常为你们祷告, 愿我们的神看你们配得过所蒙的召, 又用大能成就你们一切所羡慕的良善和一切因信心所做的工夫,

1:12 in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
叫我们主耶稣的名在你们身上得荣耀, 你们也在他身上得荣耀, 都照着我们的神并主耶稣基督的恩.

II Thessalonians - Chapter 2

2:1 Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to him,
弟兄们, 论到我们主耶稣基督降临和我们到他那里聚集,

2:2 that you not be easily shaken from your composure, nor be troubled either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter alleged to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has arrived.
我劝你们: 无论有灵,有言语,有冒我名的书信, 说主的日子现在(现在: 或译就)到了, 不要轻易动心, 也不要惊慌.

2:3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
人不拘用甚么法子, 你们总不要被他诱惑; 因为那日子以前, 必有离道反教的事, 并有那大罪人, 就是沉沦之子, 显露出来.

2:4 who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.
他是抵挡主, 高抬自己, 超过一切称为神的和一切受人敬拜的, 甚至坐在神的殿里, 自称是神.

2:5 Do you not remember that while we were still with you, we were saying these things to you?
我还在你们那里的时候, 曾把这些事告诉你们, 你们不记得吗?

2:6 And you know that which restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his own time.
现在你们也知道, 那拦阻他的是甚么, 是叫他到了的时候才可以显露.

2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is at work already; only the one who now restrains will do so until he is out of the way,
因为那不法的隐意已经发动, 只是现在有一个拦阻的, 等到那拦阻的被除去,

2:8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and wipe out by the appearance of his coming,
那时这不法的人必显露出来. 主耶稣要用口中的气灭绝他, 用降临的荣光废掉他.

2:9 whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,
这不法的人来, 是照撒但的运动, 行各样的异能,神蹟, 和一切虚假的奇事,

2:10 and with every unrighteous deception against those who are perishing, in place of which they did not accept the love of the truth, so that they would be saved.
并且在那沉沦的人身上行各样出于不义的诡诈; 因他们不领受爱真理的心, 使他们得救.

2:11 And because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie,
故此, 神就给他们一个生发错误的心, 叫他们信从虚谎,

2:12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.
使一切不信真理,倒喜爱不义的人都被定罪.

2:13 But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers dearly loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as first fruits for salvation by the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth,
主所爱的弟兄们哪, 我们本该常为你们感谢神; 因为他从起初拣选了你们, 叫你们因信真道, 又被圣灵感动, 成为圣洁, 能以得救.

2:14 for which purpose he called you through our gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
神藉我们所传的福音召你们到这地步, 好得着我们主耶稣基督的荣光.

2:15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions which you were taught, whether by spoken word or by letter from us.
所以, 弟兄们, 你们要站立得稳, 凡所领受的教训, 不拘是我们口传的, 是信上写的, 都要坚守.

2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,
但愿我们主耶稣基督和那爱我们,开恩将永远的安慰并美好的盼望赐给我们的父神,

2:17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word.
安慰你们的心, 并且在一切善行善言上坚固你们.

II Thessalonians - Chapter 3

3:1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also it was with you,
弟兄们, 我还有话说: 请你们为我们祷告, 好叫主的道理快快行开, 得着荣耀, 正如在你们中间一样,

3:2 and that we may be delivered from evil and wicked people, for not all have the faith.
也叫我们脱离无理之恶人的手; 因为人不都是有信心.

3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
但主是信实的, 要坚固你们, 保护你们脱离那恶者(或译: 脱离凶恶).

3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are both doing and you will do the things that we are commanding.
我们靠主深信, 你们现在是遵行我们所吩咐的, 后来也必要遵行.

3:5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.
愿主引导你们的心, 叫你们爱神, 并学基督的忍耐!

3:6 But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who lives irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
弟兄们, 我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们, 凡有弟兄不按规矩而行, 不遵守从我们所受的教训, 就当远离他.

3:7 For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us, that we did not behave irresponsibly among you,
你们自己原知道应当怎样效法我们. 因为我们在你们中间, 未尝不按规矩而行,

3:8 nor did we eat bread from anyone without paying, but with toil and labor, we were working night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you,
也未尝白吃人的饭, 倒是辛苦劳碌, 昼夜做工, 免得叫你们一人受累.

3:9 not that we do not have the right, but so that we may give ourselves as an example to you, so that you may imitate us.
这并不是因我们没有权柄, 乃是要给你们作榜样, 叫你们效法我们.

3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat.
我们在你们那里的时候, 曾吩咐你们说, 若有人不肯做工, 就不可吃饭.

3:11 For we hear that some among you are living irresponsibly, working at nothing, but being busybodies.
因我们听说, 在你们中间有人不按规矩而行, 甚么工都不做, 反倒专管闲事.

3:12 Now we command and we exhort such people in the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with quietness, they eat their own bread.
我们靠主耶稣基督吩咐,劝戒这样的人, 要安静做工, 吃自己的饭.

3:13 But as for you, brothers, do not be discouraged while doing what is right.
弟兄们, 你们行善不可丧志.

3:14 But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note not to associate with him, in order that he may be put to shame.
若有人不听从我们这信上的话, 要记下他, 不和他交往, 叫他自觉羞愧.

3:15 And do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
但不要以他为仇人, 要劝他如弟兄.

3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself grant you peace through everything in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
愿赐平安的主随时随事亲自给你们平安! 愿主常与你们众人同在!

3:17 The greeting is by my hand, Paul’s, which is a sign of genuineness in every letter: this is how I write.
我─保罗亲笔问你们安. 凡我的信都以此为记, 我的笔迹就是这样.

3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
愿我们主耶稣基督的恩常与你们众人同在!

I Timothy (提摩太前书)

I Timothy - Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
奉我们救主神和我们的盼望基督耶稣之命, 作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,

1:2 to Timothy, my true child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
写信给那因信主作我真儿子的提摩太. 愿恩惠,怜悯,平安从父神和我们主基督耶稣归与你!

1:3 Just as I urged you when I traveled to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that you may instruct certain people not to teach other doctrine,
我往马其顿去的时候, 曾劝你仍住在以弗所, 好嘱咐那几个人不可传异教,

1:4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause useless speculations rather than God’s plan that is by faith.
也不可听从荒渺无凭的话语和无穷的家谱; 这等事只生辩论, 并不发明神在信上所立的章程.

1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a faith without hypocrisy,
但命令的总归就是爱; 这爱是从清洁的心和无亏的良心, 无伪的信心生出来的.

1:6 from which some have deviated, and have turned away into fruitless discussion,
有人偏离这些, 反去讲虚浮的话,

1:7 wanting to be teachers of the law, although they do not understand either the things which they are saying or the things concerning which they are speaking confidently.
想要作教法师, 却不明白自己所讲说的所论定的.

1:8 But we know that the law is good, if anyone makes use of it lawfully,
我们知道律法原是好的, 只要人用得合宜;

1:9 knowing this, that the law is not given for a righteous person but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and totally worldly, for the one who kills his father and the one who kills his mother, for murderers,
因为律法不是为义人设立的, 乃是为不法和不服的, 不虔诚和犯罪的, 不圣洁和恋世俗的, 弑父母和杀人的,

1:10 sexually immoral people, homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching,
行淫和亲男色的, 抢人口和说谎话的, 并起假誓的, 或是为别样敌正道的事设立的.

1:11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God that I was entrusted with.
这是照着可称颂之神交托我荣耀福音说的.

1:12 I give thanks to the one who strengthens me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful, placing me into ministry,
我感谢那给我力量的我们主基督耶稣, 因他以我有忠心, 派我服事他.

1:13 although I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, but I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,
我从前是亵渎神的, 逼迫人的, 侮慢人的; 然而我还蒙了怜悯, 因我是不信不明白的时候而做的.

1:14 and the grace of our Lord abounded with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
并且我主的恩是格外丰盛, 使我在基督耶稣里有信心和爱心.

1:15 The saying is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
“基督耶稣降世, 为要拯救罪人. ”这话是可信的, 是十分可佩服的. 在罪人中我是个罪魁.

1:16 But because of this I was shown mercy, in order that in me foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his total patience, for an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.
然而, 我蒙了怜悯, 是因耶稣基督要在我这罪魁身上显明他一切的忍耐, 给后来信他得永生的人作榜样.

1:17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, to the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
但愿尊贵,荣耀归与那不能朽坏,不能看见,永世的君王,独一的神, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

1:18 I am setting before you this instruction, Timothy my child, in accordance with the prophecies spoken long ago about you, in order that by them you may fight the good fight,
我儿提摩太啊, 我照从前指著你的预言, 将这命令交托你, 叫你因此可以打那美好的仗.

1:19 having faith and a good conscience, which some, because they have rejected these, have suffered shipwreck concerning their faith,
常存信心和无亏的良心. 有人丢弃良心, 就在真道上如同船破坏了一般.

1:20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, in order that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
其中有许米乃和亚历山大; 我已经把他们交给撒但, 使他们受责罚就不再谤渎了.

I Timothy - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore, I urge first of all that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all people,
我劝你, 第一要为万人恳求,祷告,代求,祝谢;

2:2 on behalf of kings and all those who are in authority, in order that we may live a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
为君王和一切在位的, 也该如此, 使我们可以敬虔,端正,平安无事地度日.

2:3 This is good and acceptable before God our Savior,
这是好的, 在神我们救主面前可蒙悦纳.

2:4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
他愿意万人得救, 明白真道.

2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and human beings, the man Christ Jesus,
因为只有一位神, 在神和人中间, 只有一位中保, 乃是降世为人的基督耶稣;

2:6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony at the proper time,
他舍自己作万人的赎价, 到了时候, 这事必证明出来.

2:7 for which I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am speaking the truth, I am not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
我为此奉派作传道的, 作使徒, 作外邦人的师傅, 教导他们相信, 学习真道. 我说的是真话, 并不是谎言.

2:8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and dispute.
我愿男人无忿怒, 无争论(或译: 疑惑), 举起圣洁的手, 随处祷告;

2:9 Likewise also the women should adorn themselves in appropriate clothing, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothing,
又愿女人廉耻,自守, 以正派衣裳为妆饰, 不以编发,黄金,珍珠, 和贵价的衣裳为妆饰,

2:10 but with good deeds which are fitting for women who profess godliness.
只要有善行, 这才与自称是敬神的女人相宜.

2:11 A woman must learn in quietness with all submission.
女人要沉静学道, 一味地顺服.

2:12 But I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
我不许女人讲道, 也不许她辖管男人, 只要沉静.

2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve,
因为先造的是亚当, 后造的是夏娃,

2:14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was deceived, came into transgression.
且不是亚当被引诱, 乃是女人被引诱, 陷在罪里.

2:15 But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.
然而, 女人若常存信心,爱心, 又圣洁自守, 就必在生产上得救.

I Timothy - Chapter 3

3:1 The saying is trustworthy: if anyone aspires to supervision, he desires a good work.
“人若想要得监督的职分, 就是羡慕善工. ”这话是可信的.

3:2 Therefore the overseer must be irreproachable, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching,
作监督的, 必须无可指责, 只作一个妇人的丈夫, 有节制, 自守, 端正, 乐意接待远人, 善于教导;

3:3 not addicted to wine, not a violent person, but gentle, peaceable, not loving money,
不因酒滋事, 不打人, 只要温和, 不争竞, 不贪财;

3:4 managing his own household well, having children in submission with all dignity
好好管理自己的家, 使儿女凡事端庄顺服(或译: 端端庄庄地使儿女顺服).

3:5 (but if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
人若不知道管理自己的家, 焉能照管神的教会呢?

3:6 not newly converted, lest he become conceited and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
初入教的不可作监督, 恐怕他自高自大, 就落在魔鬼所受的刑罚里.

3:7 But he must also have a good testimony from those outside, in order that he may not fall into disgrace and the trap of the devil.
监督也必须在教外有好名声, 恐怕被人毁谤, 落在魔鬼的网罗里.

3:8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not insincere, not devoted to much wine, not fond of dishonest gain,
作执事的, 也是如此: 必须端庄, 不一口两舌, 不好喝酒, 不贪不义之财;

3:9 holding the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience,
要存清洁的良心, 固守真道的奥祕.

3:10 and these also must be tested first; then let them serve if they are above reproach.
这等人也要先受试验, 若没有可责之处, 然后叫他们作执事.

3:11 The wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in all things.
女执事(原文是女人)也是如此: 必须端庄, 不说谗言, 有节制, 凡事忠心.

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.
执事只要作一个妇人的丈夫, 好好管理儿女和自己的家.

3:13 For those who have served well acquire a good standing for themselves, and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
因为善作执事的, 自己就得到美好的地步, 并且在基督耶稣里的真道上大有胆量.

3:14 I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you in a short time.
我指望快到你那里去, 所以先将这些事写给你.

3:15 But if I am delayed, I am writing in order that you may know how one must conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and mainstay of the truth.
倘若我耽延日久, 你也可以知道在神的家中当怎样行. 这家就是永生神的教会, 真理的柱石和根基.

3:16 And most certainly, great is the mystery of godliness: Who was revealed in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
大哉, 敬虔的奥祕, 无人不以为然! 就是神在肉身显现, 被圣灵称义(或译: 在灵性称义), 被天使看见, 被传于外邦, 被世人信服, 被接在荣耀里.

I Timothy - Chapter 4

4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
圣灵明说, 在后来的时候, 必有人离弃真道, 听从那引诱人的邪灵和鬼魔的道理.

4:2 by the hypocrisy of liars, who are seared in their own conscience,
这是因为说谎之人的假冒; 这等人的良心如同被热铁烙惯了一般.

4:3 who forbid marrying and insist on abstaining from foods that God created for sharing in with thankfulness by those who believe and who know the truth,
他们禁止嫁娶, 又禁戒食物(或译: 又叫人戒荤), 就是神所造,叫那信而明白真道的人感谢著领受的.

4:4 because everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thankfulness,
凡神所造的物都是好的, 若感谢著领受, 就没有一样可弃的,

4:5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.
都因神的道和人的祈求成为圣洁了.

4:6 By teaching these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed faithfully.
你若将这些事提醒弟兄们, 便是基督耶稣的好执事, 在真道的话语和你向来所服从的善道上得了教育.

4:7 But reject those worthless myths told by elderly women, and train yourself for godliness.
只是要弃绝那世俗的言语和老妇荒渺的话, 在敬虔上操练自己.

4:8 For the training of the body is somewhat profitable, but godliness is profitable for everything, because it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come.
“操练身体, 益处还少; 惟独敬虔, 凡事都有益处, 因有今生和来生的应许. ”

4:9 The statement is trustworthy and deserving of complete acceptance.
这话是可信的, 是十分可佩服的.

4:10 For to this end we labor and suffer reproach, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.
我们劳苦努力, 正是为此, 因我们的指望在乎永生的神; 他是万人的救主, 更是信徒的救主.

4:11 Command these things and teach them.
这些事, 你要吩咐人, 也要教导人.

4:12 Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
不可叫人小看你年轻, 总要在言语,行为,爱心,信心,清洁上, 都作信徒的榜样.

4:13 Until I come, pay attention to the public reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
你要以宣读,劝勉,教导为念, 直等到我来.

4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, that was granted to you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders.
你不要轻忽所得的恩赐, 就是从前藉著预言,在众长老按手的时候赐给你的.

4:15 Practice these things. Be diligent in these things, in order that your progress may be evident to everyone.
这些事你要殷勤去做, 并要在此专心, 使众人看出你的长进来.

4:16 Fix your attention on yourself and on your teaching. Continue in them, for by doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
你要谨慎自己和自己的教训, 要在这些事上恒心; 因为这样行, 又能救自己, 又能救听你的人.

I Timothy - Chapter 5

5:1 Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father, younger men as brothers,
不可严责老年人, 只要劝他如同父亲; 劝少年人如同弟兄;

5:2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
劝老年妇女如同母亲; 劝少年妇女如同姊妹; 总要清清洁洁的.

5:3 Honor widows who are truly widows.
要尊敬那真为寡妇的.

5:4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must learn to show profound respect for their own household first, and to pay back recompense to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God.
若寡妇有儿女, 或有孙子孙女, 便叫他们先在自己家中学着行孝, 报答亲恩, 因为这在神面前是可悦纳的.

5:5 But the widow who is one truly, and is left alone, has put her hope in God and continues in her petitions and prayers night and day.
那独居无靠,真为寡妇的, 是仰赖神, 昼夜不住地祈求祷告.

5:6 But the one who lives for sensual pleasure is dead even though she lives.
但那好宴乐的寡妇正活着的时候也是死的.

5:7 And command these things, in order that they may be irreproachable.
这些事你要嘱咐她们, 叫她们无可指责.

5:8 But if someone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially the members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
人若不看顾亲属, 就是背了真道, 比不信的人还不好, 不看顾自己家里的人, 更是如此.

5:9 Let a widow be put on the list if she is not less than sixty years old, the wife of one husband,
寡妇记在册子上, 必须年纪到六十岁, 从来只作一个丈夫的妻子,

5:10 being well-attested by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality, if she has washed the feet of the saints, if she has helped those who are oppressed, if she has devoted herself to every good work.
又有行善的名声, 就如养育儿女, 接待远人, 洗圣徒的脚, 救济遭难的人, 竭力行各样善事.

5:11 But refuse younger widows, for whenever their physical desires lead them away from Christ, they want to marry,
至于年轻的寡妇, 就可以辞她; 因为她们的情欲发动, 违背基督的时候就想要嫁人.

5:12 thus incurring condemnation because they have broken their former pledge.
她们被定罪, 是因废弃了当初所许的愿;

5:13 And at the same time also, going around from house to house, they learn to be idle, and not only idle, but also gossipy and busybodies, saying the things that are not necessary.
并且她们又习惯懒惰, 挨家闲游; 不但是懒惰, 又说长道短, 好管闲事, 说些不当说的话.

5:14 Therefore I want younger widows to marry, to bear children, to manage a household, to give the adversary no opportunity for reproach.
所以我愿意年轻的寡妇嫁人, 生养儿女, 治理家务, 不给敌人辱骂的把柄.

5:15 For already some have turned away and followed after Satan.
因为已经有转去随从撒但的.

5:16 If any believing woman has widows, she must help them, and the church must not be burdened, in order that it may help those who are truly widows.
信主的妇女, 若家中有寡妇, 自己就当救济她们, 不可累著教会, 好使教会能救济那真无倚靠的寡妇.

5:17 The elders who lead well must be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor by speaking and teaching.
那善于管理教会的长老, 当以为配受加倍的敬奉; 那劳苦传道教导人的, 更当如此.

5:18 For the scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox while it is threshing,” and “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
因为经上说: “牛在场上踹谷的时候, 不可笼住牠的嘴”; 又说: “工人得工价是应当的. ”

5:19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
控告长老的呈子, 非有两三个见证就不要收.

5:20 Reprove those who sin in the presence of all, in order that the rest also may experience fear.
犯罪的人, 当在众人面前责备他, 叫其余的人也可以惧怕.

5:21 I testify solemnly before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.
我在神和基督耶稣并蒙拣选的天使面前嘱咐你: 要遵守这些话, 不可存成见, 行事也不可有偏心.

5:22 Lay hands on no one hastily, and do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
给人行按手的礼, 不可急促; 不要在别人的罪上有分, 要保守自己清洁.

5:23 (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach and your frequent illnesses.)
因你胃口不清, 屡次患病, 再不要照常喝水, 可以稍微用点酒.

5:24 The sins of some people are evident, preceding them to judgment, but for some also they follow after them.
有些人的罪是明显的, 如同先到审判案前; 有些人的罪是随后跟了去的.

5:25 Likewise also good works are evident, and those considered otherwise are not able to be hidden.
这样, 善行也有明显的, 那不明显的也不能隐藏.

I Timothy - Chapter 6

6:1 All those who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the name of God and the teaching be slandered.
凡在轭下作仆人的, 当以自己主人配受十分的恭敬, 免得神的名和道理被人亵渎.

6:2 And those who have believing masters must not look down on them because they are brothers, but rather they must serve, because those who benefit by their service are believers and dearly loved. Teach and encourage these things.
仆人有信道的主人, 不可因为与他是弟兄就轻看他; 更要加意服事他; 因为得服事之益处的, 是信道蒙爱的. 你要以此教训人, 劝勉人.

6:3 If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not devote himself to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness,
若有人传异教, 不服从我们主耶稣基督纯正的话与那合乎敬虔的道理,

6:4 he is conceited, understanding nothing, but having a morbid interest concerning controversies and disputes about words, from which come envy, strife, slanders, evil suspicions,
他是自高自大, 一无所知, 专好问难, 争辩言词, 从此就生出嫉妒,纷争,毁谤,妄疑,

6:5 constant wrangling by people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who consider godliness to be a means of gain.
并那坏了心术,失丧真理之人的争竞. 他们以敬虔为得利的门路.

6:6 But godliness with contentment is a great means of gain.
然而, 敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了;

6:7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so that neither can we bring anything out.
因为我们没有带甚么到世上来, 也不能带甚么去.

6:8 But if we have food and clothing, with these things we will be content.
只要有衣有食, 就当知足.

6:9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge those people into ruin and destruction.
但那些想要发财的人, 就陷在迷惑,落在网罗和许多无知有害的私欲里, 叫人沉在败坏和灭亡中.

6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evil, by which some, because they desire it, have gone astray from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains.
贪财是万恶之根. 有人贪恋钱财, 就被引诱离了真道, 用许多愁苦把自己刺透了.

6:11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patient endurance, gentleness.
但你这属神的人要逃避这些事, 追求公义,敬虔,信心,爱心,忍耐,温柔.

6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
你要为真道打那美好的仗, 持定永生. 你为此被召, 也在许多见证人面前, 已经作了那美好的见证.

6:13 I command you, in the sight of God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
我在叫万物生活的神面前, 并在向本丢•彼拉多作过那美好见证的基督耶稣面前嘱咐你:

6:14 that you observe the commandment without fault, irreproachable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
要守这命令, 毫不玷污, 无可指责, 直到我们的主耶稣基督显现.

6:15 which he will make known in his own time, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,
到了日期, 那可称颂,独有权能的万王之王,万主之主,

6:16 the one who alone possesses immortality, who lives in unapproachable light, whom no human being has seen nor is able to see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
就是那独一不死,住在人不能靠近的光里, 是人未曾看见,也是不能看见的, 要将他显明出来. 但愿尊贵和永远的权能都归给他. 阿们!

6:17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be proud and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in God, who provides us all things richly for enjoyment,
你要嘱咐那些今世富足的人, 不要自高, 也不要倚靠无定的钱财; 只要倚靠那厚赐百物给我们享受的神.

6:18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, sharing freely,
又要嘱咐他们行善, 在好事上富足, 甘心施舍, 乐意供给(或译: 体贴)人,

6:19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the future, in order that they may take hold of what is truly life.
为自己积成美好的根基, 预备将来, 叫他们持定那真正的生命.

6:20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Turn away from pointless empty talk and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge,
提摩太啊, 你要保守所托付你的, 躲避世俗的虚谈和那敌真道,似是而非的学问.

6:21 which some, by professing it, have deviated concerning the faith. Grace be with you all.
已经有人自称有这学问, 就偏离了真道. 愿恩惠常与你们同在!

II Timothy (提摩太后书)

写信给我亲爱的儿子提摩太. 愿恩惠,怜悯,平安从父神和我们主基督耶稣归与你!

1:3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day,

想到你心里无伪之信, 这信是先在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友妮基心里的, 我深信也在你的心里.

1:6 for which reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.
为此我提醒你, 使你将神藉我按手所给你的恩赐再如火挑旺起来.

1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.

1:8 Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor me his prisoner, but suffer along with me for the gospel, according to the power of God,
你不要以给我们的主作见证为耻, 也不要以我这为主被囚的为耻; 总要按神的能力, 与我为福音同受苦难.

但如今藉著我们救主基督耶稣的显现才表明出来了. 他已经把死废去, 藉著福音, 将不能坏的生命彰显出来.

1:11 for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an apostle and a teacher,
我为这福音奉派作传道的, 作使徒, 作师傅.

1:12 for which reason also I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know in whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted until that day.
为这缘故, 我也受这些苦难. 然而我不以为耻; 因为知道我所信的是谁, 也深信他能保全我所交付他的(或译: 他所交托我的), 直到那日.

1:13 Hold fast to the pattern of sound words which you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

II Timothy - Chapter 2

2:1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
我儿啊, 你要在基督耶稣的恩典上刚强起来.

2:2 and the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these things to faithful people who will be competent to teach others also.
你在许多见证人面前听见我所教训的, 也要交托那忠心能教导别人的人.

2:3 Suffer together with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
你要和我同受苦难, 好像基督耶稣的精兵.

2:4 No one who serves as a soldier is entangled in the activities of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him.
凡在军中当兵的, 不将世务缠身, 好叫那招他当兵的人喜悦.

2:5 And also if anyone competes he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
人若在场上比武, 非按规矩, 就不能得冠冕.

2:6 The farmer who works hard must be the first to receive a share of the crops.
劳力的农夫理当先得粮食.

2:7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will grant you understanding in all these things.
我所说的话, 你要思想, 因为凡事主必给你聪明.

2:8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David according to my gospel,
你要记念耶稣基督乃是大卫的后裔, 他从死里复活, 正合乎我所传的福音.

2:9 in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of imprisonment as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.
我为这福音受苦难, 甚至被捆绑, 像犯人一样. 然而神的道却不被捆绑.

2:10 Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, in order that they also may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
所以, 我为选民凡事忍耐, 叫他们也可以得着那在基督耶稣里的救恩和永远的荣耀.

2:11 The saying is trustworthy: For if we died with him, we will also live with him;
有可信的话说: 我们若与基督同死, 也必与他同活;

2:12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
我们若能忍耐, 也必和他一同作王. 我们若不认他, 他也必不认我们;

2:13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful—he cannot deny himself.
我们纵然失信, 他仍是可信的, 因为他不能背乎自己.

2:14 Remind people of these things, solemnly urging them before the Lord not to dispute about words. This is in no way beneficial and leads to the ruin of the hearers.
你要使众人回想这些事, 在主面前嘱咐他们: 不可为言语争辩; 这是没有益处的, 只能败坏听见的人.

2:15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, a worker having no need to be ashamed, guiding the word of truth along a straight path.
你当竭力在神面前得蒙喜悦, 作无愧的工人, 按著正意分解真理的道.

2:16 But avoid pointless chatter, for it will progress to greater ungodliness,
但要远避世俗的虚谈, 因为这等人必进到更不敬虔的地步.

2:17 and their message will spread like gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
他们的话如同毒疮, 越烂越大; 其中有许米乃和腓理徒,

2:18 who have deviated concerning the truth by saying the resurrection has already taken place, and they are upsetting the faith of some.
他们偏离了真道, 说复活的事已过, 就败坏好些人的信心.

2:19 However, the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who names the name of the Lord must abstain from unrighteousness.”
然而, 神坚固的根基立住了; 上面有这印记说: “主认识谁是他的人”; 又说: “凡称呼主名的人总要离开不义. ”

2:20 Now in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthenware ones, some of which are for honorable use, and some of which are for ordinary use.
在大户人家, 不但有金器银器, 也有木器瓦器; 有作为贵重的, 有作为卑贱的.

2:21 Therefore, if someone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
人若自洁, 脱离卑贱的事, 就必作贵重的器皿, 成为圣洁, 合乎主用, 预备行各样的善事.

2:22 But flee from youthful desires, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.
你要逃避少年的私欲, 同那清心祷告主的人追求公义,信德,仁爱,和平.

2:23 But avoid foolish and uninformed controversies, because you know that they produce quarrels.
惟有那愚拙无学问的辩论, 总要弃绝, 因为知道这等事是起争竞的.

2:24 And the slave of the Lord must not quarrel, but be kind toward everyone, skillful in teaching, tolerant,
然而主的仆人不可争竞, 只要温温和和地待众人, 善于教导, 存心忍耐,

2:25 correcting those who are opposed with gentleness, seeing whether perhaps God may grant them repentance to a knowledge of the truth,
用温柔劝戒那抵挡的人; 或者神给他们悔改的心, 可以明白真道,

2:26 and they will come to their senses again and escape from the trap of the devil, being held captive by him to do his will.
叫他们这已经被魔鬼任意掳去的, 可以醒悟, 脱离他的网罗.

3:7 always learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
常常学习, 终久不能明白真道.

3:8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, people corrupted in mind, disqualified concerning the faith.
从前雅尼和佯庇怎样敌挡摩西, 这等人也怎样敌挡真道. 他们的心地坏了, 在真道上是可废弃的.

3:9 But they will not progress to a greater extent, for their folly will be quite evident to everyone, as also the folly of those two was.
然而他们不能再这样敌挡; 因为他们的愚昧必在众人面前显露出来, 像那二人一样.

3:10 But you have faithfully followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
但你已经服从了我的教训,品行,志向,信心,宽容,爱心,忍耐,

3:11 persecutions, and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra, what sort of persecutions I endured, and the Lord delivered me from all of them.
以及我在安提阿,以哥念,路司得所遭遇的逼迫,苦难. 我所忍受是何等的逼迫; 但从这一切苦难中, 主都把我救出来了.

1:9 instead I appeal to you because of love, since I am such a one as Paul, now an old man and also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
然而像我这有年纪的保罗, 现在又是为基督耶稣被囚的, 宁可凭著爱心求你,

1:10 I am appealing to you concerning my child whom I became the father of during my imprisonment, Onesimus.
就是为我在捆锁中所生的儿子阿尼西谋(就是有益处的意思)求你.

1:11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful to you and to me,
他从前与你没有益处, 但如今与你我都有益处.

1:12 whom I have sent back to you himself, that is, my heart,
我现在打发他亲自回你那里去; 他是我心上的人.

1:13 whom I wanted to keep with me, in order that he might serve me on behalf of you during my imprisonment for the gospel.
我本来有意将他留下, 在我为福音所受的捆锁中替你伺候我.

1:14 But apart from your consent, I wanted to do nothing, in order that your good deed might be not as according to necessity, but according to your own free will.
但不知道你的意思, 我就不愿意这样行, 叫你的善行不是出于勉强, 乃是出于甘心.

1:15 For perhaps because of this, he was separated from you for a time, in order that you might have him back forever,
他暂时离开你, 或者是叫你永远得着他,

1:16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
不再是奴仆, 乃是高过奴仆, 是亲爱的兄弟. 在我实在是如此, 何况在你呢! 这也不拘是按肉体说, 是按主说.

1:17 If therefore you consider me a partner, receive him as you would me.
你若以我为同伴, 就收纳他, 如同收纳我一样.

1:18 But if in anything he has caused you loss or owes you anything, charge this to my account.
他若亏负你, 或欠你甚么, 都归在我的帐上;

1:19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will pay it back, lest I mention to you that you owe me even your very self besides.
我必偿还, 这是我─保罗亲笔写的. 我并不用对你说, 连你自己也是亏欠于我.

1:20 Yes, brother, I ought to have some benefit of you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.
兄弟啊, 望你使我在主里因你得快乐(或译: 益处), 并望你使我的心在基督里得畅快.

1:21 Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you because I know that you will do even beyond what I say.
我写信给你, 深信你必顺服, 知道你所要行的必过于我所说的.

1:22 At the same time also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
此外你还要给我预备住处; 因为我盼望藉著你们的祷告, 必蒙恩到你们那里去.

1:23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
为基督耶稣与我同坐监的以巴弗问你安.

1:24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
与我同工的马可,亚里达古,底马,路加也都问你安.

1:25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
愿我们主耶稣基督的恩常在你的心里. 阿们!

Hebrews (希伯来书)

Hebrews - Chapter 1

1:1 Although God spoke long ago in many parts and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
神既在古时藉著众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖,

1:2 in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the world,
就在这末世藉著他儿子晓谕我们; 又早已立他为承受万有的, 也曾藉著他创造诸世界.

1:3 who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all things by the word of power. When he had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
他是神荣耀所发的光辉, 是神本体的真像, 常用他权能的命令托住万有. 他洗净了人的罪, 就坐在高天至大者的右边.

1:4 having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.
他所承受的名, 既比天使的名更尊贵, 就远超过天使.

1:5 For to which of the angels did he ever say, “You are my son, today I have begotten you,” and again, “I will be his father, and he will be my son”?
所有的天使, 神从来对哪一个说: 你是我的儿子, 我今日生你? 又指著哪一个说: 我要作他的父, 他要作我的子?

1:6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “And let all the angels of God worship him.”
再者, 神使长子到世上来的时候(或译: 神再使长子到世上来的时候), 就说: 神的使者都要拜他.

1:7 And concerning the angels he says, “The one who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire,”
论到使者, 又说: 神以风为使者, 以火焰为仆役;

1:8 but concerning the Son, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom.
论到子却说: 神啊, 你的宝座是永永远远的; 你的国权是正直的.

1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this God, your God, has anointed you with the olive oil of joy more than your companions.
你喜爱公义, 恨恶罪恶; 所以神, 就是你的神, 用喜乐油膏你, 胜过膏你的同伴;

1:10 And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of your hands;
又说: 主啊, 你起初立了地的根基; 天也是你手所造的.

1:11 they will perish, but you continue, and they will all become old like a garment,
天地都要灭没, 你却要长存. 天地都要像衣服渐渐旧了;

1:12 and like a robe you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed; but you are the same, and your years will not run out.”
你要将天地卷起来, 像一件外衣, 天地就都改变了. 惟有你永不改变; 你的年数没有穷尽.

1:13 But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit down at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
所有的天使, 神从来对哪一个说: 你坐在我的右边, 等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳?

1:14 Are they not all spirits engaged in special service, sent on assignment for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
天使岂不都是服役的灵,奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗?

Hebrews - Chapter 2

2:1 Because of this, it is all the more necessary that we pay attention to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
所以, 我们当越发郑重所听见的道理, 恐怕我们随流失去.

2:2 For if the word spoken through angels was binding and every transgression and act of disobedience received a just penalty,
那藉著天使所传的话既是确定的; 凡干犯悖逆的都受了该受的报应.

2:3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation which had its beginning when it was spoken through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard,
我们若忽略这么大的救恩, 怎能逃罪呢? 这救恩起先是主亲自讲的, 后来是听见的人给我们证实了.

2:4 while God was testifying at the same time by signs and wonders and various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
神又按自己的旨意, 用神蹟,奇事和百般的异能, 并圣灵的恩赐, 同他们作见证.

2:5 For he did not subject to angels the world to come, about which we are speaking.
我们所说将来的世界, 神原没有交给天使管辖.

2:6 But someone testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that you remember him, or the son of man, that you care for him?
但有人在经上某处证明说: 人算甚么, 你竟顾念他? 世人算甚么, 你竟眷顾他?

2:7 You made him for a short time lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor;
你叫他比天使微小一点(或译: 你叫他暂时比天使小), 赐他荣耀尊贵为冠冕, 并将你手所造的都派他管理,

2:8 you subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things, he left nothing that was not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him,
叫万物都服在他的脚下. 既叫万物都服他, 就没有剩下一样不服他的. 只是如今我们还不见万物都服他.

2:9 but we see Jesus, for a short time made lower than the angels, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that apart from God he might taste death on behalf of everyone.
惟独见那成为比天使小一点的耶稣(或译: 惟独见耶稣暂时比天使小); 因为受死的苦, 就得了尊贵荣耀为冠冕, 叫他因着神的恩, 为人人尝了死味.

2:10 For it was fitting for him for whom are all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the originator of their salvation through sufferings.
原来那为万物所属,为万物所本的, 要领许多的儿子进荣耀里去, 使救他们的元帅, 因受苦难得以完全, 本是合宜的.

2:11 For both the one who sanctifies and the ones who are sanctified are all from one, for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
因那使人成圣的和那些得以成圣的, 都是出于一. 所以, 他称他们为弟兄也不以为耻,

2:12 saying, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing in praise of you.”
说: 我要将你的名传与我的弟兄, 在会中我要颂扬你;

2:13 And again, “I will trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
又说: 我要倚赖他; 又说: 看哪, 我与神所给我的儿女.

2:14 Therefore, since the children share in blood and flesh, he also in like manner shared in these same things, in order that through death he could destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
儿女既同有血肉之体, 他也照样亲自成了血肉之体, 特要藉著死败坏那掌死权的, 就是魔鬼,

2:15 and could set free these who through fear of death were subject to slavery throughout all their lives.
并要释放那些一生因怕死而为奴仆的人.

2:16 For surely he is not concerned with angels, but he is concerned with the descendants of Abraham.
他并不救拔天使, 乃是救拔亚伯拉罕的后裔.

2:17 Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in all respects, in order that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things relating to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
所以, 他凡事该与他的弟兄相同, 为要在神的事上成为慈悲忠信的大祭司, 为百姓的罪献上挽回祭.

2:18 For in that which he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
他自己既然被试探而受苦, 就能搭救被试探的人.

Hebrews - Chapter 3

3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, sharers in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
同蒙天召的圣洁弟兄啊, 你们应当思想我们所认为使者,为大祭司的耶稣.

3:2 who was faithful to the one who appointed him, as Moses also was in his household.
他为那设立他的尽忠, 如同摩西在神的全家尽忠一样.

3:3 For this one is considered worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as the one who builds it has greater honor than the house.
他比摩西算是更配多得荣耀, 好像建造房屋的比房屋更尊荣;

3:4 For every house is built by someone, but the one who built all things is God.
因为房屋都必有人建造, 但建造万物的就是神.

3:5 And Moses was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony to the things that would be spoken,
摩西为仆人, 在神的全家诚然尽忠, 为要证明将来必传说的事.

3:6 but Christ was faithful as a son over his house, whose house we are, if we hold fast to our confidence and the hope we can be proud of.
但基督为儿子, 治理神的家; 我们若将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底, 便是他的家了.

3:7 Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice,
圣灵有话说: 你们今日若听他的话,

3:8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
就不可硬著心, 像在旷野惹他发怒,试探他的时候一样.

3:9 where your fathers tested me by trial and saw my works
在那里, 你们的祖宗试我探我, 并且观看我的作为有四十年之久.

3:10 for forty years. Therefore I was angry with this generation, and I said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they do not know my ways.’
所以, 我厌烦那世代的人, 说: 他们心里常常迷糊, 竟不晓得我的作为!

3:11 As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter into my rest.’ ”
我就在怒中起誓说: 他们断不可进入我的安息.

3:12 Watch out, brothers, lest there be in some of you an evil, unbelieving heart, with the result that you fall away from the living God.
弟兄们, 你们要谨慎, 免得你们中间或有人存著不信的恶心, 把永生神离弃了.

3:13 But encourage one another day by day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you become hardened by the deception of sin.
总要趁著还有今日, 天天彼此相劝, 免得你们中间有人被罪迷惑, 心里就刚硬了.

3:14 For we have become partners of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of our commitment steadfast until the end,
我们若将起初确实的信心坚持到底, 就在基督里有分了.

3:15 while it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
经上说: “你们今日若听他的话, 就不可硬著心, 像惹他发怒的日子一样. ”

3:16 For who, when they heard it, were disobedient? Surely it was not all who went out from Egypt through Moses?
那时, 听见他话惹他发怒的是谁呢? 岂不是跟着摩西从埃及出来的众人吗?

3:17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness?
神四十年之久, 又厌烦谁呢? 岂不是那些犯罪,尸首倒在旷野的人吗?

3:18 And to whom did he swear they would not enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?
又向谁起誓, 不容他们进入他的安息呢? 岂不是向那些不信从的人吗?

3:19 And so we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
这样看来, 他们不能进入安息是因为不信的缘故了.

Hebrews - Chapter 4

4:1 Therefore let us fear, while there remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of it.
我们既蒙留下, 有进入他安息的应许, 就当畏惧, 免得我们(原文是你们)中间或有人似乎是赶不上了.

4:2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as those also did, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united with those who heard it in faith.
因为有福音传给我们, 像传给他们一样; 只是所听见的道与他们无益, 因为他们没有信心与所听见的道调和.

4:3 For we who have believed enter into rest, just as he has said, “As I swore in my anger, ‘They will never enter into my rest.’ ” And yet these works have been accomplished from the foundation of the world.
但我们已经相信的人得以进入那安息, 正如神所说: “我在怒中起誓说: ‘他们断不可进入我的安息! ’”其实造物之工, 从创世以来已经成全了.

4:4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”
论到第七日, 有一处说: “到第七日, 神就歇了他一切的工. ”

4:5 and in this passage again, ‘They will never enter into my rest.’ ”
又有一处说: “他们断不可进入我的安息! ”

4:6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and the ones to whom the good news was proclaimed previously did not enter because of disobedience,
既有必进安息的人, 那先前听见福音的, 因为不信从, 不得进去.

4:7 again he ordains a certain day, today, speaking by David after so long a time, just as had been said before, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
所以过了多年, 就在大卫的书上, 又限定一日, 如以上所引的说: “你们今日若听他的话, 就不可硬著心. ”

4:8 For if Joshua had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things.
若是约书亚已叫他们享了安息, 后来神就不再提别的日子了.

4:9 Consequently a sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
这样看来, 必另有一安息日的安息为神的子民存留.

4:10 For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
因为那进入安息的, 乃是歇了自己的工, 正如神歇了他的工一样.

4:11 Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience.
所以, 我们务必竭力进入那安息, 免得有人学那不信从的样子跌倒了.

4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, both joints and marrow, and able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart.
神的道是活泼的, 是有功效的, 比一切两刃的剑更快, 甚至魂与灵, 骨节与骨髓, 都能刺入,剖开, 连心中的思念和主意都能辨明.

4:13 And no creature is hidden in the sight of him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of him to whom we must give our account.
并且被造的没有一样在他面前不显然的; 原来万物在那与我们有关系的主眼前, 都是赤露敞开的.

4:14 Therefore, because we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
我们既然有一位已经升入高天尊荣的大祭司, 就是神的儿子耶稣, 便当持定所承认的道.

4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who has been tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.
因我们的大祭司并非不能体恤我们的软弱. 他也曾凡事受过试探, 与我们一样, 只是他没有犯罪.

4:16 Therefore let us approach with confidence to the throne of grace, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
所以, 我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前, 为要得怜恤, 蒙恩惠, 作随时的帮助.

Hebrews - Chapter 5

5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of people in the things relating to God, in order that he can offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins,
凡从人间挑选的大祭司, 是奉派替人办理属神的事, 为要献上礼物和赎罪祭(或译: 要为罪献上礼物和祭物).

5:2 being able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself also is surrounded by weakness,
他能体谅那愚蒙的和失迷的人, 因为他自己也是被软弱所困.

5:3 and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself also, as well as for the people.
故此, 他理当为百姓和自己献祭赎罪.

5:4 And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also was.
这大祭司的尊荣, 没有人自取. 惟要蒙神所召, 像亚伦一样.

5:5 Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you,”
如此, 基督也不是自取荣耀作大祭司, 乃是在乎向他说“你是我的儿子, 我今日生你”的那一位;

5:6 just as also in another place he says, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek,”
就如经上又有一处说: “你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司. ”

5:7 who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence.
基督在肉体的时候, 既大声哀哭, 流泪祷告, 恳求那能救他免死的主, 就因他的虔诚蒙了应允.

5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered,
他虽然为儿子, 还是因所受的苦难学了顺从.

5:9 and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him,
他既得以完全, 就为凡顺从他的人成了永远得救的根源,

5:10 being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
并蒙神照着麦基洗德的等次称他为大祭司.

5:11 Concerning this we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
论到麦基洗德, 我们有好些话, 并且难以解明, 因为你们听不进去.

5:12 For indeed, although you ought to be teachers by this time, you have need of someone to teach you again the beginning elements of the oracles of God, and you have need of milk, not solid food.
看你们学习的工夫, 本该作师傅, 谁知还得有人将神圣言小学的开端另教导你们, 并且成了那必须吃奶,不能吃干粮的人.

5:13 For everyone who partakes of milk is unacquainted with the message of righteousness, because he is an infant.
凡只能吃奶的都不熟练仁义的道理, 因为他是婴孩;

5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have trained their faculties for the distinguishing of both good and evil.
惟独长大成人的才能吃干粮; 他们的心窍习练得通达, 就能分辨好歹了.

Hebrews - Chapter 6

6:1 Therefore, leaving behind the elementary message about Christ, let us move on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
所以, 我们应当离开基督道理的开端, 竭力进到完全的地步, 不必再立根基, 就如那懊悔死行,信靠神,

6:2 teaching about baptisms and laying on of hands, and resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
各样洗礼,按手之礼,死人复活, 以及永远审判各等教训.

6:3 And this we will do, if God permits.
神若许我们, 我们必如此行.

6:4 For it is impossible concerning those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and become sharers of the Holy Spirit,
论到那些已经蒙了光照,尝过天恩的滋味,又于圣灵有分,

6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,
并尝过神善道的滋味,觉悟来世权能的人,

6:6 and having fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, because they have crucified again for themselves the Son of God and held him up to contempt.
若是离弃道理, 就不能叫他们重新懊悔了. 因为他们把神的儿子重钉十字架, 明明地羞辱他.

6:7 For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those people for whose sake it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God.
就如一块田地, 吃过屡次下的雨水, 生长菜蔬, 合乎耕种的人用, 就从神得福;

6:8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to a curse, whose end is for burning.
若长荆棘和蒺藜, 必被废弃, 近于咒诅, 结局就是焚烧.

6:9 But even if we are speaking in this way, dear friends, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and belonging to salvation.
亲爱的弟兄们, 我们虽是这样说, 却深信你们的行为强过这些, 而且近乎得救.

6:10 For God is not unjust, so as to forget your work and the love which you demonstrated for his name by having served the saints, and continuing to serve them.
因为神并非不公义, 竟忘记你们所做的工和你们为他名所显的爱心, 就是先前伺候圣徒, 如今还是伺候.

6:11 And we desire each one of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the full assurance of your hope until the end,
我们愿你们各人都显出这样的殷勤, 使你们有满足的指望, 一直到底.

6:12 in order that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
并且不懈怠, 总要效法那些凭信心和忍耐承受应许的人.

6:13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
当初神应许亚伯拉罕的时候, 因为没有比自己更大可以指著起誓的, 就指著自己起誓, 说:

6:14 saying, “Surely I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.”
“论福, 我必赐大福给你; 论子孙, 我必叫你的子孙多起来. ”

6:15 And so, by persevering, he obtained the promise.
这样, 亚伯拉罕既恒久忍耐, 就得了所应许的.

6:16 For people swear by what is greater than themselves, and the oath for confirmation is the end of all dispute for them.
人都是指著比自己大的起誓, 并且以起誓为实据, 了结各样的争论.

6:17 In the same way God, because he wanted to show even more to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his resolve, guaranteed it with an oath,
照样, 神愿意为那承受应许的人格外显明他的旨意是不更改的, 就起誓为证.

6:18 in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge may have powerful encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us,
藉这两件不更改的事, 神决不能说谎, 好叫我们这逃往避难所,持定摆在我们前头指望的人可以大得勉励.

6:19 which we have like an anchor of the soul, both firm and steadfast, and entering into the inside of the curtain,
我们有这指望, 如同灵魂的锚, 又坚固又牢靠, 且通入幔内.

6:20 where Jesus, the forerunner for us, entered, because he became a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
作先锋的耶稣, 既照着麦基洗德的等次成了永远的大祭司, 就为我们进入幔内.

Hebrews - Chapter 7

7:1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
这麦基洗德就是撒冷王, 又是至高神的祭司, 本是长远为祭司的. 他当亚伯拉罕杀败诸王回来的时候, 就迎接他, 给他祝福.

7:2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of everything—in the first place, his name is translated “king of righteousness,” and then also “king of Salem,” that is, “king of peace”;
亚伯拉罕也将自己所得来的, 取十分之一给他. 他头一个名翻出来就是仁义王, 他又名撒冷王, 就是平安王的意思.

7:3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God—he remains a priest for all time.
他无父, 无母, 无族谱, 无生之始, 无命之终, 乃是与神的儿子相似.

7:4 But see how great this man was, to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth from the spoils!
你们想一想, 先祖亚伯拉罕将自己所掳来上等之物取十分之一给他, 这人是何等尊贵呢!

7:5 And indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have a commandment to collect a tenth from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, although they are descended from Abraham.
那得祭司职任的利未子孙, 领命照例向百姓取十分之一, 这百姓是自己的弟兄, 虽是从亚伯拉罕身(原文是腰)中生的, 还是照例取十分之一.

7:6 But the one who did not trace his descent from them collected tithes from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.
独有麦基洗德, 不与他们同谱, 倒收纳亚伯拉罕的十分之一, 为那蒙应许的亚伯拉罕祝福.

7:7 Now without any dispute the inferior is blessed by the more prominent.
从来位分大的给位分小的祝福, 这是驳不倒的理.

7:8 And in this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case it is testified that he lives.
在这里收十分之一的都是必死的人; 但在那里收十分之一的, 有为他作见证的说, 他是活的;

7:9 And, so to speak, even Levi, the one who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham.
并且可说那受十分之一的利未, 也是藉著亚伯拉罕纳了十分之一.

7:10 For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候, 利未已经在他先祖的身(原文是腰)中.

7:11 Thus if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the people received the law, what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not said to be according to the order of Aaron?
从前百姓在利未人祭司职任以下受律法, 倘若藉这职任能得完全, 又何用另外兴起一位祭司, 照麦基洗德的等次, 不照亚伦的等次呢?

7:12 For when the priesthood changes, of necessity there is a change of the law also.
祭司的职任既已更改, 律法也必须更改.

7:13 For the one about whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe from which no one has officiated at the altar.
因为这话所指的人本属别的支派, 那支派里从来没有一人伺候祭坛.

7:14 For it is evident that our Lord is a descendant of Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses said nothing concerning priests.
我们的主分明是从犹大出来的; 但这支派, 摩西并没有提到祭司.

7:15 And it is still more clear, if another priest according to the likeness of Melchizedek arises,
倘若照麦基洗德的样式, 另外兴起一位祭司来, 我的话更是显而易见的了.

7:16 who has become a priest not according to a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
他成为祭司, 并不是照属肉体的条例, 乃是照无穷(原文是不能毁坏)之生命的大能.

7:17 For it is testified, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”
因为有给他作见证的说: “你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司. ”

7:18 For on the one hand a preceding commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness
先前的条例, 因软弱无益, 所以废掉了,

7:19 (for the law made nothing perfect), but on the other hand there is the introduction of a better hope through which we draw near to God.
(律法原来一无所成)就引进了更美的指望; 靠这指望, 我们便可以进到神面前.

7:20 And by as much as this was not without an oath (for these on the one hand have become priests without an oath,
再者, 耶稣为祭司, 并不是不起誓立的.

7:21 but he with an oath by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’ ”),
至于那些祭司, 原不是起誓立的, 只有耶稣是起誓立的; 因为那立他的对他说: “主起了誓, 决不后悔, 你是永远为祭司. ”

7:22 by so much more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
既是起誓立的, 耶稣就作了更美之约的中保.

7:23 And indeed many have become priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,
那些成为祭司的, 数目本来多, 是因为有死阻隔, 不能长久.

7:24 but he, because he continues forever, holds the priesthood permanently.
这位既是永远常存的, 他祭司的职任就长久不更换.

7:25 Therefore also he is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, because he always lives in order to intercede on their behalf.
凡靠着他进到神面前的人, 他都能拯救到底; 因为他是长远活着, 替他们祈求.

7:26 For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted above the heavens,
像这样圣洁,无邪恶,无玷污,远离罪人,高过诸天的大祭司, 原是与我们合宜的.

7:27 who does not need every day like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
他不像那些大祭司, 每日必须先为自己的罪, 后为百姓的罪献祭; 因为他只一次将自己献上, 就把这事成全了.

7:28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, appoints a Son, who is made perfect forever.
律法本是立软弱的人为大祭司; 但在律法以后起誓的话, 是立儿子为大祭司, 乃是成全到永远的.

Hebrews - Chapter 8

8:1 Now this is the main point in what has been said: we have a high priest such as this, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
我们所讲的事, 其中第一要紧的, 就是我们有这样的大祭司, 已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边,

8:2 a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord set up, not man.
在圣所, 就是真帐幕里, 作执事; 这帐幕是主所支的, 不是人所支的.

8:3 For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was necessary for this one also to have something that he offers.
凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的, 所以这位大祭司也必须有所献的.

8:4 Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because there are those who offer the gifts according to the law,
他若在地上, 必不得为祭司, 因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司.

8:5 who serve a sketch and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he was about to complete the tabernacle, for he says, “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”
他们供奉的事本是天上事的形状和影像, 正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候, 蒙神警戒他, 说: “你要谨慎, 作各样的物件都要照着在山上指示你的样式. ”

8:6 But now he has attained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also mediator of a better covenant which has been enacted upon better promises.
如今耶稣所得的职任是更美的, 正如他作更美之约的中保; 这约原是凭更美之应许立的.

8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, occasion would not have been sought for a second.
那前约若没有瑕疵, 就无处寻求后约了.

8:8 For in finding fault with them he says, “Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
所以主指责他的百姓说(或译: 所以主指前约的缺欠说): 日子将到, 我要与以色列家和犹大家另立新约,

8:9 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took hold of them by my hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
不像我拉着他们祖宗的手, 领他们出埃及的时候, 与他们所立的约. 因为他们不恒心守我的约, 我也不理他们. 这是主说的.

8:10 For this is the covenant that I will decree with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I am putting my laws in their minds and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be their God and they will be my people.
主又说: 那些日子以后, 我与以色列家所立的约乃是这样: 我要将我的律法放在他们里面, 写在他们心上; 我要作他们的神; 他们要作我的子民.

8:11 And they will not teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
他们不用各人教导自己的乡邻和自己的弟兄, 说: 你该认识主; 因为他们从最小的到至大的, 都必认识我.

8:12 For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, and I will not remember their sins any longer.”
我要宽恕他们的不义, 不再记念他们的罪愆.

8:13 In calling it new, he has declared the former to be old. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is near to disappearing.
既说新约, 就以前约为旧了; 但那渐旧渐衰的, 就必快归无有了.

Hebrews - Chapter 9

9:1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and the earthly sanctuary.
原来前约有礼拜的条例和属世界的圣幕.

9:2 For a tent was prepared, the first one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the presentation of the loaves, which is called the holy place.
因为有预备的帐幕, 头一层叫作圣所, 里面有灯台,桌子, 和陈设饼.

9:3 And after the second curtain was a tent called the holy of holies,
第二幔子后又有一层帐幕, 叫作至圣所,

9:4 containing the golden incense altar and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which were a golden jar containing the manna and the rod of Aaron that budded and the tablets of the covenant.
有金香炉(炉: 或译坛), 有包金的约柜, 柜里有盛吗哪的金罐和亚伦发过芽的杖, 并两块约版;

9:5 And above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, about which it is not now possible to speak in detail.
柜上面有荣耀基路伯的影罩着施恩(施恩: 原文是蔽罪)座. 这几件我现在不能一一细说.

9:6 Now these things having been prepared in this way, the priests enter into the first tent continually as they accomplish their service,
这些物件既如此预备齐了, 众祭司就常进头一层帐幕, 行拜神的礼.

9:7 but only the high priest enters into the second tent once a year, not without blood, which he offers on behalf of himself and the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
至于第二层帐幕, 惟有大祭司一年一次独自进去, 没有不带着血为自己和百姓的过错献上.

9:8 The Holy Spirit was making this clear, that the way into the holy place was not yet revealed, while the first tent was still in existence,
圣灵用此指明, 头一层帐幕仍存的时候, 进入至圣所的路还未显明.

9:9 which was a symbol for the present time, in which both the gifts and sacrifices which were offered were not able to perfect the worshiper with respect to the conscience,
那头一层帐幕作现今的一个表样, 所献的礼物和祭物, 就著良心说, 都不能叫礼拜的人得以完全.

9:10 concerning instead only food and drink and different washings, regulations of outward things imposed until the time of setting things right.
这些事, 连那饮食和诸般洗濯的规矩, 都不过是属肉体的条例, 命定到振兴的时候为止.

9:11 But Christ has arrived as a high priest of the good things to come. Through the greater and more perfect tent not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,
但现在基督已经来到, 作了将来美事的大祭司, 经过那更大更全备的帐幕, 不是人手所造, 也不是属乎这世界的;

9:12 and not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the most holy place, obtaining eternal redemption.
并且不用山羊和牛犊的血, 乃用自己的血, 只一次进入圣所, 成了永远赎罪的事.

9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled sanctify them for the ritual purity of the flesh,
若山羊和公牛的血, 并母牛犊的灰, 洒在不洁的人身上, 尚且叫人成圣, 身体洁净,

9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?
何况基督藉著永远的灵, 将自己无瑕无疵献给神, 他的血岂不更能洗净你们的心(原文是良心), 除去你们的死行, 使你们事奉那永生神吗?

9:15 And because of this, he is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has taken place for the redemption of transgressions committed during the first covenant, those who are the called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
为此, 他作了新约的中保, 既然受死赎了人在前约之时所犯的罪过, 便叫蒙召之人得着所应许永远的产业.

9:16 For where there is a will, it is a necessity for the death of the one who made the will to be established.
凡有遗命必须等到留遗命(遗命: 原文与约字同)的人死了;

9:17 For a will is in force concerning those who are dead, since it is never in force when the one who made the will is alive.
因为人死了, 遗命才有效力, 若留遗命的尚在, 那遗命还有用处吗?

9:18 Therefore not even the first covenant was ratified without blood.
所以, 前约也不是不用血立的;

9:19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves with water and scarlet wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,
因为摩西当日照着律法将各样诫命传给众百姓, 就拿朱红色绒和牛膝草, 把牛犊山羊的血和水洒在书上, 又洒在众百姓身上, 说:

9:20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”
“这血就是神与你们立约的凭据. ”

9:21 And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the utensils of service with the blood.
他又照样把血洒在帐幕和各样器皿上.

9:22 Indeed, nearly everything is purified with blood according to the law, and apart from the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
按著律法, 凡物差不多都是用血洁净的; 若不流血, 罪就不得赦免了.

9:23 Therefore it was necessary for the sketches of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.
照着天上样式做的物件必须用这些祭物去洁净; 但那天上的本物自然当用更美的祭物去洁净.

9:24 For Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,
因为基督并不是进了人手所造的圣所(这不过是真圣所的影像), 乃是进了天堂, 如今为我们显在神面前;

9:25 and not in order that he can offer himself many times, as the high priest enters into the sanctuary year by year with blood not his own,
也不是多次将自己献上, 像那大祭司每年带着牛羊的血(牛羊的血: 原文作不是自己的血)进入圣所,

9:26 since it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times from the foundation of the world, but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.
如果这样, 他从创世以来, 就必多次受苦了. 但如今在这末世显现一次, 把自己献为祭, 好除掉罪.

9:27 And just as it is destined for people to die once, and after this, judgment,
按著定命, 人人都有一死, 死后且有审判.

9:28 thus also Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for the second time without reference to sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation.
像这样, 基督既然一次被献, 担当了多人的罪, 将来要向那等候他的人第二次显现, 并与罪无关, 乃是为拯救他们.

Hebrews - Chapter 10

10:1 For the law, possessing a shadow of the good things that are about to come, not the form of things itself, is never able year by year by means of the same sacrifices which they offer without interruption to make perfect those who draw near.
律法既是将来美事的影儿, 不是本物的真像, 总不能藉著每年常献一样的祭物叫那近前来的人得以完全.

10:2 For otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the ones who worship, having been purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?
若不然, 献祭的事岂不早已止住了吗? 因为礼拜的人, 良心既被洁净, 就不再觉得有罪了.

10:3 But in them there is a reminder of sins year by year.
但这些祭物是叫人每年想起罪来;

10:4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
因为公牛和山羊的血, 断不能除罪.

10:5 Therefore, when he came into the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but a body you prepared for me;
所以基督到世上来的时候, 就说: 神啊, 祭物和礼物是你不愿意的; 你曾给我预备了身体.

10:6 you did not delight in whole burnt offerings and offerings for sins.
燔祭和赎罪祭是你不喜欢的.

10:7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— in the roll of the book it is written about me— to do your will, O God.’
那时我说: 神啊, 我来了, 为要照你的旨意行; 我的事在经卷上已经记载了.

10:8 When he says above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin you did not want, nor did you delight in,” which are offered according to the law,
以上说: “祭物和礼物, 燔祭和赎罪祭, 是你不愿意的, 也是你不喜欢的(这都是按著律法献的)”;

10:9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second,
后又说: “我来了为要照你的旨意行”; 可见他是除去在先的, 为要立定在后的.

10:10 by which will we are made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
我们凭这旨意, 靠耶稣基督, 只一次献上他的身体, 就得以成圣.

10:11 And every priest stands every day serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which are never able to take away sins.
凡祭司天天站着事奉神, 屡次献上一样的祭物, 这祭物永不能除罪.

10:12 But this one, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God,
但基督献了一次永远的赎罪祭, 就在神的右边坐下了.

10:13 from now on waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.
从此, 等候他仇敌成了他的脚凳.

10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
因为他一次献祭, 便叫那得以成圣的人永远完全.

10:15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
圣灵也对我们作见证; 因为他既已说过:

10:16 “This is the covenant that I will decree for them after those days, says the Lord: I am putting my laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
主说: 那些日子以后, 我与他们所立的约乃是这样: 我要将我的律法写在他们心上, 又要放在他们的里面.

10:17 He also says, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will never remember again.”
以后就说: 我不再记念他们的罪愆和他们的过犯.

10:18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
这些罪过既已赦免, 就不用再为罪献祭了.

10:19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence for the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
弟兄们, 我们既因耶稣的血得以坦然进入至圣所,

10:20 by the new and living way which he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, his flesh,
是藉着他给我们开了一条又新又活的路, 从幔子经过, 这幔子就是他的身体.

10:21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
又有一位大祭司治理神的家,

10:22 let us approach with a true heart in the full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
并我们心中天良的亏欠已经洒去, 身体用清水洗净了, 就当存著诚心和充足的信心来到神面前;

10:23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful.
也要坚守我们所承认的指望, 不至摇动, 因为那应许我们的是信实的.

10:24 And let us think about how to stir one another up to love and good works,
又要彼此相顾, 激发爱心, 勉励行善.

10:25 not abandoning our meeting together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging each other, and by so much more as you see the day drawing near.
你们不可停止聚会, 好像那些停止惯了的人, 倒要彼此劝勉, 既知道(原文是看见)那日子临近, 就更当如此.

10:26 For if we keep on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
因为我们得知真道以后, 若故意犯罪, 赎罪的祭就再没有了;

10:27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that is about to consume the adversaries.
惟有战惧等候审判和那烧灭众敌人的烈火.

10:28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
人干犯摩西的律法, 凭两三个见证人, 尚且不得怜恤而死,

10:29 How much worse punishment do you think the person will be considered worthy of who treats with disdain the Son of God and who considers ordinary the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy and who insults the Spirit of grace?
何况人践踏神的儿子, 将那使他成圣之约的血当作平常, 又亵慢施恩的圣灵, 你们想, 他要受的刑罚该怎样加重呢!

10:30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
因为我们知道谁说: “伸冤在我, 我必报应”; 又说: “主要审判他的百姓. ”

10:31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
落在永生神的手里, 真是可怕的!

10:32 But remember the former days in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings,
你们要追念往日, 蒙了光照以后所忍受大争战的各样苦难:

10:33 sometimes being publicly exposed both to insults and to afflictions, and sometimes becoming sharers with those who were treated in this way.
一面被毁谤, 遭患难, 成了戏景, 叫众人观看; 一面陪伴那些受这样苦难的人.

10:34 For you both sympathized with the prisoners and put up with the seizure of your belongings with joy because you knew that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.
因为你们体恤了那些被捆锁的人, 并且你们的家业被人抢去, 也甘心忍受, 知道自己有更美长存的家业.

10:35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward.
所以, 你们不可丢弃勇敢的心; 存这样的心必得大赏赐.

10:36 For you have need of endurance, in order that after you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
你们必须忍耐, 使你们行完了神的旨意, 就可以得着所应许的.

10:37 For yet “a very, very little while, and the one who is coming will come and will not delay.
因为还有一点点时候, 那要来的就来, 并不迟延;

10:38 But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul is not well pleased with him.”
只是义人(有古卷: 我的义人)必因信得生. 他若退后, 我心里就不喜欢他.

10:39 But we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but among those who have faith to the preservation of our souls.
我们却不是退后入沉沦的那等人, 乃是有信心以致灵魂得救的人.

Hebrews - Chapter 11

11:1 Now faith is the realization of what is hoped for, the proof of things not seen.
信就是所望之事的实底, 是未见之事的确据.

11:2 For by this the people of old were approved.
古人在这信上得了美好的证据.

11:3 By faith we understand the worlds were created by the word of God, in order that what is seen did not come into existence from what is visible.
我们因着信, 就知道诸世界是藉神话造成的; 这样, 所看见的, 并不是从显然之物造出来的.

11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, by which he was approved that he was righteous, because God approved him for his gifts, and through it he still speaks, although he is dead.
亚伯因着信, 献祭与神, 比该隐所献的更美, 因此便得了称义的见证, 就是神指他礼物作的见证. 他虽然死了, 却因这信, 仍旧说话.

11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up, so that he did not experience death, and he was not found, because God took him up. For before his removal, he had been approved as having been pleasing to God.
以诺因着信, 被接去, 不至于见死, 人也找不着他, 因为神已经把他接去了; 只是他被接去以先, 已经得了神喜悦他的明证.

11:6 Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and is a rewarder of those who seek him.
人非有信, 就不能得神的喜悦; 因为到神面前来的人必须信有神, 且信他赏赐那寻求他的人.

11:7 By faith Noah, having been warned about things not yet seen, out of reverence constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family, by which he pronounced sentence on the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
挪亚因着信, 既蒙神指示他未见的事, 动了敬畏的心, 预备了一只方舟, 使他全家得救. 因此就定了那世代的罪, 自己也承受了那从信而来的义.

11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going.
亚伯拉罕因着信, 蒙召的时候就遵命出去, 往将来要得为业的地方去; 出去的时候, 还不知往哪里去.

11:9 By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.
他因着信, 就在所应许之地作客, 好像在异地居住帐棚, 与那同蒙一个应许的以撒,雅各一样.

11:10 For he was expecting the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
因为他等候那座有根基的城, 就是神所经营所建造的.

11:11 By faith also, with Sarah, he received the ability to procreate even past the normal age, because he regarded the one who had promised to be faithful.
因着信, 连撒拉自己, 虽然过了生育的岁数, 还能怀孕, 因她以为那应许她的是可信的.

11:12 And therefore these were fathered from one man, and he being as good as dead, as the stars of heaven in number and like the innumerable sand by the shore of the sea.
所以从一个仿佛已死的人就生出子孙, 如同天上的星那样众多, 海边的沙那样无数.

11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the promises, but seeing them from a distance and welcoming them, and admitting that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth.
这些人都是存著信心死的, 并没有得着所应许的; 却从远处望见, 且欢喜迎接, 又承认自己在世上是客旅, 是寄居的.

11:14 For those who say such things make clear that they are seeking a homeland.
说这样话的人是表明自己要找一个家乡.

11:15 And if they remember that land from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
他们若想念所离开的家乡, 还有可以回去的机会.

11:16 But now they aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
他们却羡慕一个更美的家乡, 就是在天上的. 所以神被称为他们的神, 并不以为耻, 因为他已经给他们预备了一座城.

11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac, and the one who received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
亚伯拉罕因着信, 被试验的时候, 就把以撒献上; 这便是那欢喜领受应许的, 将自己独生的儿子献上.

11:18 with reference to whom it was said, “In Isaac your descendants will be named,”
论到这儿子, 曾有话说: “从以撒生的才要称为你的后裔. ”

11:19 having reasoned that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which he received him back also as a symbol.
他以为神还能叫人从死里复活; 他也仿佛从死中得回他的儿子来.

11:20 By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things that were going to happen.
以撒因着信, 就指著将来的事给雅各,以扫祝福.

11:21 By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
雅各因着信, 临死的时候, 给约瑟的两个儿子各自祝福, 扶著杖头敬拜神.

11:22 By faith Joseph, as he was dying, mentioned about the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his bones.
约瑟因着信, 临终的时候, 提到以色列族将来要出埃及, 并为自己的骸骨留下遗命.

11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw the child was handsome, and they were not afraid of the edict of the king.
摩西生下来, 他的父母见他是个俊美的孩子, 就因着信, 把他藏了三个月, 并不怕王命.

11:24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
摩西因着信, 长大了就不肯称为法老女儿之子.

11:25 choosing instead to be mistreated with the people of God rather than to experience the transitory enjoyment of sin,
他宁可和神的百姓同受苦害, 也不愿暂时享受罪中之乐.

11:26 considering reproach endured for the sake of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.
他看为基督受的凌辱比埃及的财物更宝贵, 因他想望所要得的赏赐.

11:27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king, for he persevered as if he saw the invisible one.
他因着信, 就离开埃及, 不怕王怒; 因为他恒心忍耐, 如同看见那不能看见的主.

11:28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.
他因着信, 就守(或译: 立)逾越节, 行洒血的礼, 免得那灭长子的临近以色列人.

11:29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; the Egyptians, when they made the attempt, were drowned.
他们因着信, 过红海如行干地; 埃及人试着要过去, 就被吞灭了.

11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been marched around for seven days.
以色列人因着信, 围绕耶利哥城七日, 城墙就倒塌了.

11:31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she welcomed the spies in peace.
妓女喇合因着信, 曾和和平平地接待探子, 就不与那些不顺从的人一同灭亡.

11:32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and the prophets,
我又何必再说呢? 若要一一细说, 基甸,巴拉,参孙,耶弗他,大卫,撒母耳, 和众先知的事, 时候就不够了.

11:33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained what was promised, shut the mouths of lions,
他们因着信, 制伏了敌国, 行了公义, 得了应许, 堵了狮子的口,

11:34 extinguished the effectiveness of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong from weakness, became mighty in battle, put to flight enemy battle lines.
灭了烈火的猛势, 脱了刀剑的锋刃; 软弱变为刚强, 争战显出勇敢, 打退外邦的全军.

11:35 Women received back their dead by resurrection. But others were tortured, not accepting release, in order that they might gain a better resurrection.
有妇人得自己的死人复活. 又有人忍受严刑, 不肯苟且得释放(原文是赎), 为要得着更美的复活.

11:36 And others experienced mocking and flogging, and in addition bonds and imprisonment.
又有人忍受戏弄,鞭打,捆锁,监禁,各等的磨炼,

11:37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by murder with a sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, impoverished, afflicted, mistreated,
被石头打死, 被锯锯死, 受试探, 被刀杀, 披着绵羊,山羊的皮各处奔跑, 受穷乏,患难,苦害,

11:38 of whom the world was not worthy, wandering about on deserts and mountains and in caves and in holes in the ground.
在旷野,山岭,山洞,地穴, 飘流无定, 本是世界不配有的人.

11:39 And although they all were approved through their faith, they did not receive what was promised,
这些人都是因信得了美好的证据, 却仍未得着所应许的;

11:40 because God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.
因为神给我们预备了更美的事, 叫他们若不与我们同得, 就不能完全.

Hebrews - Chapter 12

12:1 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, putting aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, let us run with patient endurance the race that has been set before us,
我们既有这许多的见证人, 如同云彩围着我们, 就当放下各样的重担, 脱去容易缠累我们的罪, 存心忍耐, 奔那摆在我们前头的路程,

12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the originator and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣(或译: 仰望那将真道创始成终的耶稣). 他因那摆在前面的喜乐, 就轻看羞辱, 忍受了十字架的苦难, 便坐在神宝座的右边.

12:3 For consider the one who endured such hostility by sinners against himself, so that you will not grow weary in your souls and give up.
那忍受罪人这样顶撞的, 你们要思想, 免得疲倦灰心.

12:4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood as you struggle against sin.
你们与罪恶相争, 还没有抵挡到流血的地步.

12:5 And have you completely forgotten the exhortation which instructs you as sons? “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or give up when you are corrected by him.
你们又忘了那劝你们如同劝儿子的话, 说: 我儿, 你不可轻看主的管教, 被他责备的时候也不可灰心;

12:6 For the Lord disciplines the one whom he loves, and punishes every son whom he accepts.”
因为主所爱的, 他必管教, 又鞭打凡所收纳的儿子.

12:7 Endure it for discipline. God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
你们所忍受的, 是神管教你们, 待你们如同待儿子. 焉有儿子不被父亲管教的呢?

12:8 But if you are without discipline, in which all legitimate sons have become participants, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
管教原是众子所共受的. 你们若不受管教, 就是私子, 不是儿子了.

12:9 Furthermore, we have had our earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Will we not much rather subject ourselves to the Father of spirits and live?
再者, 我们曾有生身的父管教我们, 我们尚且敬重他, 何况万灵的父, 我们岂不更当顺服他得生吗?

12:10 For they disciplined us for a few days according to what seemed appropriate to them, but he does so for our benefit, in order that we can have a share in his holiness.
生身的父都是暂随己意管教我们; 惟有万灵的父管教我们, 是要我们得益处, 使我们在他的圣洁上有分.

12:11 Now all discipline seems for the moment not to be joyful but painful, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness for those who are trained by it.
凡管教的事, 当时不觉得快乐, 反觉得愁苦; 后来却为那经练过的人结出平安的果子, 就是义.

12:12 Therefore strengthen your slackened hands and your weakened knees,
所以, 你们要把下垂的手,发酸的腿挺起来;

12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame will not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
也要为自己的脚, 把道路修直了, 使瘸子不致歪脚(或译: 差路), 反得痊愈.

12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
你们要追求与众人和睦, 并要追求圣洁; 非圣洁没有人能见主.

12:15 Take care that no one falls short of the grace of God; that no one growing up like a root of bitterness causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;
又要谨慎, 恐怕有人失了神的恩; 恐怕有毒根生出来扰乱你们, 因此叫众人沾染污秽;

12:16 that no one be a sexually immoral or totally worldly person like Esau, who for one meal traded his own birthright.
恐怕有淫乱的, 有贪恋世俗如以扫的, 他因一点食物把自己长子的名分卖了.

12:17 For you know that also afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he did not find an occasion for repentance, although he sought it with tears.
后来想要承受父所祝的福, 竟被弃绝, 虽然号哭切求, 却得不著门路使他父亲的心意回转. 这是你们知道的.

12:18 For you have not come to something that can be touched, and to a burning fire, and to darkness, and to gloom, and to a whirlwind,
你们原不是来到那能摸的山; 此山有火焰,密云,黑暗,暴风,

12:19 and to the noise of a trumpet, and to the sound of words which those who heard begged that not another word be spoken to them.
角声与说话的声音. 那些听见这声音的, 都求不要再向他们说话;

12:20 For they could not endure what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
因为他们当不起所命他们的话, 说: “靠近这山的, 即便是走兽, 也要用石头打死. ”

12:21 And the spectacle was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
所见的极其可怕, 甚至摩西说: “我甚是恐惧战兢. ”

12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to tens of thousands of angels, to the festal gathering
你们乃是来到锡安山, 永生神的城邑, 就是天上的耶路撒冷. 那里有千万的天使,

12:23 and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous people made perfect,
有名录在天上诸长子之会所共聚的总会, 有审判众人的神和被成全之义人的灵魂,

12:24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks better than Abel’s does.
并新约的中保耶稣, 以及所洒的血; 这血所说的比亚伯的血所说的更美.

12:25 Watch out that you do not refuse the one who is speaking! For if those did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on earth, much less will we escape, if we reject the one who warns from heaven,
你们总要谨慎, 不可弃绝那向你们说话的. 因为, 那些弃绝在地上警戒他们的尚且不能逃罪, 何况我们违背那从天上警戒我们的呢?

12:26 whose voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.”
当时他的声音震动了地, 但如今他应许说: “再一次我不单要震动地, 还要震动天. ”

12:27 Now the phrase “yet once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, namely, things that have been created, in order that the things that are not shaken may remain.
这再一次的话, 是指明被震动的, 就是受造之物都要挪去, 使那不被震动的常存.

12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be thankful, through which let us serve God acceptably, with awe and reverence.
所以我们既得了不能震动的国, 就当感恩, 照神所喜悦的, 用虔诚,敬畏的心事奉神.

12:29 For indeed our God is a consuming fire.
因为我们的神乃是烈火.

Hebrews - Chapter 13

13:1 Brotherly love must continue.
你们务要常存弟兄相爱的心.

13:2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through this some have received angels as guests without knowing it.
不可忘记用爱心接待客旅; 因为曾有接待客旅的, 不知不觉就接待了天使.

13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though you were fellow-prisoners; remember the mistreated, as though you yourselves also are being mistreated in the body.
你们要记念被捆绑的人, 好像与他们同受捆绑; 也要记念遭苦害的人, 想到自己也在肉身之内.

13:4 Marriage must be held in honor by all, and the marriage bed be undefiled, because God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers.
婚姻, 人人都当尊重, 床也不可污秽; 因为苟合行淫的人, 神必要审判.

13:5 Your lifestyle must be free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, “I will never desert you, and I will never abandon you.”
你们存心不可贪爱钱财, 要以自己所有的为足; 因为主曾说: “我总不撇下你, 也不丢弃你. ”

13:6 So then, we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”
所以我们可以放胆说: 主是帮助我的, 我必不惧怕; 人能把我怎么样呢?

13:7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you; considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith.
从前引导你们,传神之道给你们的人, 你们要想念他们, 效法他们的信心, 留心看他们为人的结局.

13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
耶稣基督昨日,今日,一直到永远, 是一样的.

13:9 Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods by which those who participate have not benefited.
你们不要被那诸般怪异的教训勾引了去; 因为人心靠恩得坚固才是好的, 并不是靠饮食. 那在饮食上专心的从来没有得着益处.

13:10 We have an altar from which those who serve in the tabernacle do not have the right to eat.
我们有一祭坛, 上面的祭物是那些在帐幕中供职的人不可同吃的.

13:11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sins are burned up outside the camp.
原来牲畜的血被大祭司带入圣所作赎罪祭; 牲畜的身子被烧在营外.

13:12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, in order that he might sanctify the people by his own blood.
所以, 耶稣要用自己的血叫百姓成圣, 也就在城门外受苦.

13:13 So we must go out to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
这样, 我们也当出到营外, 就了他去, 忍受他所受的凌辱.

13:14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we seek the city that is to come.
我们在这里本没有常存的城, 乃是寻求那将来的城.

13:15 Therefore through him let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
我们应当靠着耶稣, 常常以颂赞为祭献给神, 这就是那承认主名之人嘴唇的果子.

13:16 And do not neglect doing good and generosity, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
只是不可忘记行善和捐输的事, 因为这样的祭是神所喜悦的.

13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with groaning, for this would be unprofitable for you.
你们要依从那些引导你们的, 且要顺服; 因他们为你们的灵魂时刻警醒, 好像那将来交帐的人. 你们要使他们交的时候有快乐, 不致忧愁; 若忧愁就与你们无益了.

13:18 Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a good conscience, and want to conduct ourselves commendably in every way.
请你们为我们祷告, 因我们自觉良心无亏, 愿意凡事按正道而行.

13:19 And I especially urge you to do this, so that I may be restored to you more quickly.
我更求你们为我祷告, 使我快些回到你们那里去.

13:20 Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
但愿赐平安的神, 就是那凭永约之血,使群羊的大牧人─我主耶稣从死里复活的神,

13:21 equip you with every good thing to do his will, carrying out in us what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.
在各样善事上成全你们, 叫你们遵行他的旨意; 又藉著耶稣基督在你们心里行他所喜悦的事. 愿荣耀归给他, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

13:22 Now I urge you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for indeed I have written to you briefly.
弟兄们, 我略略写信给你们, 望你们听我劝勉的话.

13:23 Know that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you, if he comes quickly enough.
你们该知道, 我们的兄弟提摩太已经释放了; 他若快来, 我必同他去见你们.

13:24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
请你们问引导你们的诸位和众圣徒安. 从意大利来的人也问你们安.

13:25 Grace be with all of you.
愿恩惠常与你们众人同在. 阿们!

James (雅各书)

James - Chapter 1

1:1 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion. Greetings!
作神和主耶稣基督仆人的雅各请散住十二个支派之人的安.

1:2 Consider it all joy, my brothers, whenever you encounter various trials,
我的弟兄们, 你们落在百般试炼中, 都要以为大喜乐;

1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
因为知道你们的信心经过试验, 就生忍耐.

1:4 And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
但忍耐也当成功, 使你们成全,完备, 毫无缺欠.

1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask for it from God, who gives to all without reservation and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.
你们中间若有缺少智慧的, 应当求那厚赐与众人,也不斥责人的神, 主就必赐给他.

1:6 But let him ask for it in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.
只要凭著信心求, 一点不疑惑; 因为那疑惑的人, 就像海中的波浪, 被风吹动翻腾.

1:7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
这样的人不要想从主那里得甚么.

1:8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
心怀二意的人, 在他一切所行的路上都没有定见.

1:9 Now let the brother of humble circumstances boast in his high position,
卑微的弟兄升高, 就该喜乐;

1:10 but the rich person in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of the grass.
富足的降卑, 也该如此; 因为他必要过去, 如同草上的花一样.

1:11 For the sun rises with its burning heat and dries up the grass, and its flower falls off, and the beauty of its appearance is lost. So also the rich person in his pursuits will wither away.
太阳出来, 热风刮起, 草就枯干, 花也凋谢, 美容就消没了; 那富足的人, 在他所行的事上也要这样衰残.

1:12 Blessed is the person who endures testing, because when he is approved he will receive the crown of life that he has promised to those who love him.
忍受试探的人是有福的, 因为他经过试验以后, 必得生命的冠冕; 这是主应许给那些爱他之人的.

1:13 No one who is being tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
人被试探, 不可说: “我是被神试探”; 因为神不能被恶试探, 他也不试探人.

1:14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away and enticed by his own desires.
但各人被试探, 乃是被自己的私欲牵引诱惑的.

1:15 Then desire, after it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is brought to completion, gives birth to death.
私欲既怀了胎, 就生出罪来; 罪既长成, 就生出死来.

1:16 Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.
我亲爱的弟兄们, 不要看错了.

1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.
各样美善的恩赐和各样全备的赏赐都是从上头来的, 从众光之父那里降下来的; 在他并没有改变, 也没有转动的影儿.

1:18 By his will he gave birth to us through the message of truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
他按自己的旨意, 用真道生了我们, 叫我们在他所造的万物中好像初熟的果子.

1:19 Understand this, my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
我亲爱的弟兄们, 这是你们所知道的. 但你们各人要快快地听, 慢慢地说, 慢慢地动怒,

1:20 for human anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
因为人的怒气并不成就神的义.

1:21 Therefore, putting aside all moral uncleanness and wicked excess, welcome with humility the implanted message which is able to save your souls.
所以, 你们要脱去一切的污秽和盈余的邪恶, 存温柔的心领受那所栽种的道, 就是能救你们灵魂的道.

1:22 But be doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
只是你们要行道, 不要单单听道, 自己欺哄自己.

1:23 because if anyone is a hearer of the message and not a doer, this one is like someone staring at his own face in a mirror,
因为听道而不行道的, 就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目,

1:24 for he looks at himself and goes away and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.
看见, 走后, 随即忘了他的相貌如何.

1:25 But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do it, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts, this one will be blessed in what he does.
惟有详细察看那全备,使人自由之律法的, 并且时常如此, 这人既不是听了就忘, 乃是实在行出来, 就在他所行的事上必然得福.

1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious, although he does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
若有人自以为虔诚, 却不勒住他的舌头, 反欺哄自己的心, 这人的虔诚是虚的.

1:27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
在神我们的父面前, 那清洁没有玷污的虔诚, 就是看顾在患难中的孤儿寡妇, 并且保守自己不沾染世俗.

James - Chapter 2

2:1 My brothers, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
我的弟兄们, 你们信奉我们荣耀的主耶稣基督, 便不可按著外貌待人.

2:2 For if someone enters into your assembly in fine clothing with a gold ring on his finger, and a poor person in filthy clothing also enters,
若有一个人带着金戒指, 穿着华美衣服, 进你们的会堂去; 又有一个穷人穿着肮脏衣服也进去;

2:3 and you look favorably on the one wearing the fine clothing and you say, “Be seated here in a good place,” and to the poor person you say, “You stand or be seated there by my footstool,”
你们就重看那穿华美衣服的人, 说: “请坐在这好位上”; 又对那穷人说: “你站在那里”, 或“坐在我脚凳下边. ”

2:4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
这岂不是你们偏心待人, 用恶意断定人吗?

2:5 Listen, my dear brothers! Did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
我亲爱的弟兄们, 请听, 神岂不是拣选了世上的贫穷人, 叫他们在信上富足, 并承受他所应许给那些爱他之人的国吗?

2:6 But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich exploiting you and they themselves dragging you into the courts?
你们反倒羞辱贫穷人. 那富足人岂不是欺压你们,拉你们到公堂去吗?

2:7 Do they themselves not blaspheme the good name of the one to whom you belong?
他们不是亵渎你们所敬奉(所敬奉: 或译被称)的尊名吗?

2:8 However, if you carry out the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
经上记着说: “要爱人如己. ”你们若全守这至尊的律法才是好的.

2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and thus are convicted by the law as transgressors.
但你们若按外貌待人, 便是犯罪, 被律法定为犯法的.

2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles in one point only has become guilty of all of it.
因为凡遵守全律法的, 只在一条上跌倒, 他就是犯了众条.

2:11 For the one who said “Do not commit adultery” also said “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
原来那说“不可奸淫”的, 也说“不可杀人”; 你就是不奸淫, 却杀人, 仍是成了犯律法的.

2:12 Thus speak and thus act as those who are going to be judged by the law of liberty.
你们既然要按使人自由的律法受审判, 就该照这律法说话行事.

2:13 For judgment is merciless to the one who has not practiced mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
因为那不怜悯人的, 也要受无怜悯的审判; 怜悯原是向审判夸胜.

2:14 What is the benefit, my brothers, if someone says that he has faith but does not have works? That faith is not able to save him, is it?
我的弟兄们, 若有人说自己有信心, 却没有行为, 有甚么益处呢? 这信心能救他吗?

2:15 If a brother or a sister is poorly clothed and lacking food for the day,
若是弟兄或是姊妹, 赤身露体, 又缺了日用的饮食;

2:16 and one of you should say to them, “Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but does not give them what is necessary for the body, what is the benefit?
你们中间有人对他们说: “平平安安地去吧! 愿你们穿得暖, 吃得饱”, 却不给他们身体所需用的, 这有甚么益处呢?

2:17 Thus also faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself.
这样, 信心若没有行为就是死的.

2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
必有人说: “你有信心, 我有行为; 你将你没有行为的信心指给我看, 我便藉著我的行为, 将我的信心指给你看. ”

2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe, and shudder!
你信神只有一位, 你信的不错; 鬼魔也信, 却是战惊.

2:20 But do you want to know, O foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?
虚浮的人哪, 你愿意知道没有行为的信心是死的吗?

2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?
我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕把他儿子以撒献在坛上, 岂不是因行为称义吗?

2:22 You see that faith was working together with his works, and by the works the faith was perfected.
可见, 信心是与他的行为并行, 而且信心因着行为才得成全.

2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend.
这就应验经上所说: “亚伯拉罕信神, 这就算为他的义. ”他又得称为神的朋友.

2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
这样看来, 人称义是因着行为, 不是单因着信.

2:25 And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route?
妓女喇合接待使者, 又放他们从别的路上出去, 不也是一样因行为称义吗?

2:26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
身体没有灵魂是死的, 信心没有行为也是死的.

James - Chapter 3

3:1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we will receive a greater judgment.
我的弟兄们, 不要多人作师傅, 因为晓得我们要受更重的判断.

3:2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to hold in check his whole body also.
原来我们在许多事上都有过失; 若有人在话语上没有过失, 他就是完全人, 也能勒住自己的全身.

3:3 And if we put bits in the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we also guide their whole bodies.
我们若把嚼环放在马嘴里, 叫牠顺服, 就能调动牠的全身.

3:4 Behold also ships: although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot wishes.
看哪, 船只虽然甚大, 又被大风催逼, 只用小小的舵, 就随着掌舵的意思转动.

3:5 So also the tongue is a small member of the body and boasts great things. Behold how small a fire sets ablaze how great a forest!
这样, 舌头在百体里也是最小的, 却能说大话. 看哪, 最小的火能点着最大的树林.

3:6 And the tongue is a fire! The world of unrighteousness, the tongue, is set among our members, defiling the whole body and setting on fire the course of human existence, being set on fire by hell.
舌头就是火, 在我们百体中, 舌头是个罪恶的世界, 能污秽全身, 也能把生命的轮子点起来, 并且是从地狱里点着的.

3:7 For every species of animals and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, is being tamed and has been tamed by the human species,
各类的走兽,飞禽,昆虫,水族, 本来都可以制伏, 也已经被人制伏了;

3:8 but no human being is able to tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
惟独舌头没有人能制伏, 是不止息的恶物, 满了害死人的毒气.

3:9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
我们用舌头颂赞那为主,为父的, 又用舌头咒诅那照着神形像被造的人.

3:10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so!
颂赞和咒诅从一个口里出来! 我的弟兄们, 这是不应当的!

3:11 A spring does not pour forth from the same opening fresh and bitter water, does it?
泉源从一个眼里能发出甜苦两样的水吗?

3:12 A fig tree is not able, my brothers, to produce olives, or a grapevine figs. Neither can a saltwater spring produce fresh water.
我的弟兄们, 无花果树能生橄榄吗? 葡萄树能结无花果吗? 咸水里也不能发出甜水来.

3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good behavior his works, with the humility of wisdom.
你们中间谁是有智慧有见识的呢? 他就当在智慧的温柔上显出他的善行来.

3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
你们心里若怀着苦毒的嫉妒和纷争, 就不可自夸, 也不可说谎话抵挡真道.

3:15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
这样的智慧不是从上头来的, 乃是属地的, 属情欲的, 属鬼魔的.

3:16 For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.
在何处有嫉妒,纷争, 就在何处有扰乱和各样的坏事.

3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, nonjudgmental, without hypocrisy,
惟独从上头来的智慧, 先是清洁, 后是和平, 温良柔顺, 满有怜悯, 多结善果, 没有偏见, 没有假冒.

3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace among those who make peace.
并且使人和平的, 是用和平所栽种的义果.

James - Chapter 4

4:1 From where are conflicts and from where are quarrels among you? Is it not from this, from your pleasures that wage war among your members?
你们中间的争战斗殴是从哪里来的呢? 不是从你们百体中战斗之私欲来的吗?

4:2 You desire and do not have; you murder and are filled with envy, and are not able to obtain; you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
你们贪恋, 还是得不著; 你们杀害嫉妒, 又斗殴争战, 也不能得. 你们得不著, 是因为你们不求.

4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, in order that you may spend it on your pleasures.
你们求也得不著, 是因为你们妄求, 要浪费在你们的宴乐中.

4:4 Adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
你们这些淫乱的人(原文是淫妇)哪, 岂不知与世俗为友就是与神为敌吗? 所以凡想要与世俗为友的, 就是与神为敌了.

4:5 Or do you think that in vain the scripture says, “The spirit which he caused to dwell in us desires jealously”?
你们想经上所说是徒然的吗? 神所赐,住在我们里面的灵, 是恋爱至于嫉妒吗?

4:6 But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
但他赐更多的恩典, 所以经上说: 神阻挡骄傲的人, 赐恩给谦卑的人.

4:7 Therefore subject yourselves to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
故此, 你们要顺服神. 务要抵挡魔鬼, 魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了.

4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded!
你们亲近神, 神就必亲近你们. 有罪的人哪, 要洁净你们的手! 心怀二意的人哪, 要清洁你们的心!

4:9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloominess.
你们要愁苦,悲哀,哭泣, 将喜笑变作悲哀, 欢乐变作愁闷.

4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
务要在主面前自卑, 主就必叫你们升高.

4:11 Do not speak evil of one another, brothers. The one who speaks evil of a brother or judges his brother speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of the law.
弟兄们, 你们不可彼此批评. 人若批评弟兄, 论断弟兄, 就是批评律法, 论断律法. 你若论断律法, 就不是遵行律法, 乃是判断人的.

4:12 There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
设立律法和判断人的, 只有一位, 就是那能救人也能灭人的. 你是谁, 竟敢论断别人呢?

4:13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there, and carry on business and make a profit,”
嗐! 你们有话说: “今天明天我们要往某城里去, 在那里住一年, 做买卖得利. ”

4:14 you who do not know what will happen tomorrow, what your life will be like. For you are a smoky vapor that appears for a short time and then disappears.
其实明天如何, 你们还不知道. 你们的生命是甚么呢? 你们原来是一片云雾, 出现少时就不见了.

4:15 Instead you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
你们只当说: “主若愿意, 我们就可以活着, 也可以做这事, 或做那事. ”

4:16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
现今你们竟以张狂夸口; 凡这样夸口都是恶的.

4:17 Therefore, to the one who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
人若知道行善, 却不去行, 这就是他的罪了.

James - Chapter 5

5:1 Come now, you rich people, weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming upon you!
嗐! 你们这些富足人哪, 应当哭泣,号咷, 因为将有苦难临到你们身上.

5:2 Your wealth has rotted, and your clothing has become moth-eaten.
你们的财物坏了, 衣服也被虫子咬了.

5:3 Your gold and silver have become corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you, and it will consume your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days.
你们的金银都长了锈; 那锈要证明你们的不是, 又要吃你们的肉, 如同火烧. 你们在这末世只知积攒钱财.

5:4 Behold, the wages that were held back by you from the workers who reap your fields cry out, and the cries of the reapers have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts.
工人给你们收割庄稼, 你们亏欠他们的工钱, 这工钱有声音呼叫, 并且那收割之人的冤声已经入了万军之主的耳了.

5:5 You have lived self-indulgently on the earth and have lived luxuriously. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
你们在世上享美福, 好宴乐, 当宰杀的日子竟娇养你们的心.

5:6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous person; he does not resist you.
你们定了义人的罪, 把他杀害, 他也不抵挡你们.

5:7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the soil, being patient concerning it until it receives the early and late rains.
弟兄们哪, 你们要忍耐, 直到主来. 看哪, 农夫忍耐等候地里宝贵的出产, 直到得了秋雨春雨.

5:8 You also be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is near.
你们也当忍耐, 坚固你们的心, 因为主来的日子近了.

5:9 Brothers, do not complain against one another, in order that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors!
弟兄们, 你们不要彼此埋怨, 免得受审判. 看哪, 审判的主站在门前了.

5:10 Brothers, take as an example of perseverance and endurance the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
弟兄们, 你们要把那先前奉主名说话的众先知当作能受苦能忍耐的榜样.

5:11 Behold, we consider blessed those who have endured. You have heard about the patient endurance of Job, and you saw the outcome from the Lord, that the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
那先前忍耐的人, 我们称他们是有福的. 你们听见过约伯的忍耐, 也知道主给他的结局, 明显主是满心怜悯, 大有慈悲.

5:12 Now above all, my brothers, do not swear either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no, no, in order that you may not fall under judgment.
我的弟兄们, 最要紧的是不可起誓; 不可指著天起誓, 也不可指着地起誓, 无论何誓都不可起. 你们说话, 是, 就说是; 不是, 就说不是, 免得你们落在审判之下.

5:13 Is anyone among you suffering misfortune? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praise.
你们中间有受苦的呢, 他就该祷告; 有喜乐的呢, 他就该歌颂.

5:14 Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the elders of the church and they should pray over him, anointing him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.
你们中间有病了的呢, 他就该请教会的长老来; 他们可以奉主的名用油抹他, 为他祷告.

5:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins he will be forgiven.
出于信心的祈祷要救那病人, 主必叫他起来; 他若犯了罪, 也必蒙赦免.

5:16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much.
所以你们要彼此认罪, 互相代求, 使你们可以得医治. 义人祈祷所发的力量是大有功效的.

5:17 Elijah was a human being with the same nature as us, and he prayed fervently for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
以利亚与我们是一样性情的人, 他恳切祷告, 求不要下雨, 雨就三年零六个月不下在地上.

5:18 And he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the earth produced its fruit.
他又祷告, 天就降下雨来, 地也生出土产.

5:19 My brothers, if anyone among you should wander away from the truth and someone turns him back,
我的弟兄们, 你们中间若有失迷真道的, 有人使他回转,

5:20 he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save that person’s soul from death, and will cover over a great number of sins.
这人该知道: 叫一个罪人从迷路上转回便是救一个灵魂不死, 并且遮盖许多的罪.

I Peter (彼得前书)

I Peter - Chapter 1

1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen who are residing temporarily in the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
耶稣基督的使徒彼得写信给那分散在本都,加拉太,加帕多家,亚细亚,庇推尼寄居的,

1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and for sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
就是照父神的先见被拣选, 藉著圣灵得成圣洁, 以致顺服耶稣基督, 又蒙他血所洒的人. 愿恩惠,平安多多地加给你们.

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神! 他曾照自己的大怜悯, 藉耶稣基督从死里复活, 重生了我们, 叫我们有活泼的盼望,

1:4 into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you
可以得着不能朽坏,不能玷污,不能衰残,为你们存留在天上的基业.

1:5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time,
你们这因信蒙神能力保守的人, 必能得着所预备,到末世要显现的救恩.

1:6 in which you rejoice greatly, although now for a short time, if necessary, you are distressed by various trials,
因此, 你们是大有喜乐; 但如今, 在百般的试炼中暂时忧愁,

1:7 so that the genuineness of your faith, more valuable than gold that is passing away, but is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
叫你们的信心既被试验, 就比那被火试验仍然能坏的金子更显宝贵, 可以在耶稣基督显现的时候得着称赞,荣耀,尊贵.

1:8 whom, although you have not seen, you love; in whom now you believe, although you do not see him, and you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
你们虽然没有见过他, 却是爱他; 如今虽不得看见, 却因信他就有说不出来,满有荣光的大喜乐;

1:9 obtaining the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
并且得着你们信心的果效, 就是灵魂的救恩.

1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace meant for you sought and made careful inquiry,
论到这救恩, 那预先说你们要得恩典的众先知早已详细地寻求考察,

1:11 investigating for what person or which time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he testified beforehand to the sufferings with reference to Christ and the glories after these things,
就是考察在他们心里基督的灵, 预先证明基督受苦难, 后来得荣耀, 是指着甚么时候, 并怎样的时候.

1:12 to whom it was revealed that they were serving not themselves but you with reference to the same things which now have been announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels desire to look.
他们得了启示, 知道他们所传讲(原文是服事)的一切事, 不是为自己, 乃是为你们. 那靠着从天上差来的圣灵传福音给你们的人, 现在将这些事报给你们; 天使也愿意详细察看这些事.

1:13 Therefore, when you have prepared your minds for action by being self-controlled, put your hope completely in the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
所以要约束你们的心(原文是束上你们心中的腰), 谨慎自守, 专心盼望耶稣基督显现的时候所带来给你们的恩.

1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former desires you used to conform to in your ignorance,
你们既作顺命的儿女, 就不要效法从前蒙昧无知的时候那放纵私欲的样子.

1:15 but as the one who called you is holy, you yourselves be holy in all your conduct,
那召你们的既是圣洁, 你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁.

1:16 for it is written, “You will be holy, because I am holy.”
因为经上记着说: “你们要圣洁, 因为我是圣洁的. ”

1:17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves with fear during the time of your temporary residence,
你们既称那不偏待人,按各人行为审判人的主为父, 就当存敬畏的心度你们在世寄居的日子,

1:18 because you know that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver or gold,
知道你们得赎, 脱去你们祖宗所传流虚妄的行为, 不是凭著能坏的金银等物,

1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb
乃是凭著基督的宝血, 如同无瑕疵,无玷污的羔羊之血.

1:20 who was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has been revealed in these last times for you
基督在创世以前是预先被神知道的, 却在这末世才为你们显现.

1:21 who through him are believing in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
你们也因着他, 信那叫他从死里复活,又给他荣耀的神, 叫你们的信心和盼望都在于神.

1:22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another fervently from the heart,
你们既因顺从真理, 洁净了自己的心, 以致爱弟兄没有虚假, 就当从心里(从心里: 有古卷是从清洁的心)彼此切实相爱.

1:23 because you have been born again, not from perishable seed but imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
你们蒙了重生, 不是由于能坏的种子, 乃是由于不能坏的种子, 是藉著神活泼常存的道.

1:24 For “all flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass withers and the flower falls off,
因为凡有血气的, 尽都如草; 他的美荣都像草上的花. 草必枯干, 花必凋谢;

1:25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that has been proclaimed to you.
惟有主的道是永存的. 所传给你们的福音就是这道.

I Peter - Chapter 2

2:1 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,
所以, 你们既除去一切的恶毒(或译: 阴毒),诡诈, 并假善,嫉妒, 和一切毁谤的话,

2:2 like newborn infants long for the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,
就要爱慕那纯净的灵奶, 像才生的婴孩爱慕奶一样, 叫你们因此渐长, 以致得救.

2:3 if you have tasted that the Lord is kind,
你们若尝过主恩的滋味, 就必如此.

2:4 to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God.
主乃活石, 固然是被人所弃的, 却是被神所拣选,所宝贵的.

2:5 And you yourselves, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
你们来到主面前, 也就像活石, 被建造成为灵宫, 作圣洁的祭司, 藉著耶稣基督奉献神所悦纳的灵祭.

2:6 For it stands in scripture, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
因为经上说: 看哪, 我把所拣选,所宝贵的房角石安放在锡安; 信靠他的人必不至于羞愧.

2:7 Therefore the honor is for you who believe, but for those who refuse to believe, “The stone that the builders rejected, this one has become the cornerstone,”
所以, 他在你们信的人就为宝贵, 在那不信的人有话说: 匠人所弃的石头已作了房角的头块石头.

2:8 and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,” who stumble because they disobey the word to which also they were consigned.
又说: 作了绊脚的石头, 跌人的磐石. 他们既不顺从, 就在道理上绊跌(或译: 他们绊跌都因不顺从道理); 他们这样绊跌也是预定的.

2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s possession, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,
惟有你们是被拣选的族类, 是有君尊的祭司, 是圣洁的国度, 是属神的子民, 要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德.

2:10 who once were not a people, but now are the people of God, the ones who were not shown mercy, but now are shown mercy.
你们从前算不得子民, 现在却作了神的子民; 从前未曾蒙怜恤, 现在却蒙了怜恤.

2:11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires which wage war against your soul,
亲爱的弟兄啊, 你们是客旅, 是寄居的. 我劝你们要禁戒肉体的私欲; 这私欲是与灵魂争战的.

2:12 maintaining your good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in the things in which they slander you as evildoers, by seeing your good deeds they may glorify God on the day of visitation.
你们在外邦人中, 应当品行端正, 叫那些毁谤你们是作恶的, 因看见你们的好行为, 便在鉴察(或译: 眷顾)的日子归荣耀给神.

2:13 Subject yourselves to every human authority for the sake of the Lord, whether to a king as having supreme authority,
你们为主的缘故, 要顺服人的一切制度, 或是在上的君王,

2:14 or to governors as those sent out by him for the punishment of those who do evil and the praise of those who do good.
或是君王所派罚恶赏善的臣宰.

2:15 For the will of God is as follows: by doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish people.
因为神的旨意原是要你们行善, 可以堵住那糊涂无知人的口.

2:16 Live as free persons, and not using your freedom as a covering for evil, but as slaves of God.
你们虽是自由的, 却不可藉著自由遮盖恶毒(或译: 阴毒), 总要作神的仆人.

2:17 Honor all people, love the community of believers, fear God, honor the king.
务要尊敬众人, 亲爱教中的弟兄, 敬畏神, 尊敬君王.

2:18 Domestic slaves, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unjust.
你们作仆人的, 凡事要存敬畏的心顺服主人; 不但顺服那善良温和的, 就是那乖僻的也要顺服.

2:19 For this finds favor, if because of consciousness of God someone endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
倘若人为叫良心对得住神, 就忍受冤屈的苦楚, 这是可喜爱的.

2:20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if you endure when you do good and suffer for it, this finds favor with God.
你们若因犯罪受责打, 能忍耐, 有甚么可夸的呢? 但你们若因行善受苦, 能忍耐, 这在神看是可喜爱的.

2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his footsteps,
你们蒙召原是为此; 因基督也为你们受过苦, 给你们留下榜样, 叫你们跟随他的脚踪行.

2:22 who did not commit sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth,
他并没有犯罪, 口里也没有诡诈.

2:23 who when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when suffering, he did not threaten, but entrusted himself to the one who judges justly,
他被骂不还口; 受害不说威吓的话, 只将自己交托那按公义审判人的主.

2:24 who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we may die to sins and live to righteousness, by whose wounds you were healed.
他被挂在木头上, 亲身担当了我们的罪, 使我们既然在罪上死, 就得以在义上活. 因他受的鞭伤, 你们便得了医治.

2:25 For you were going astray like sheep, but you have turned back now to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
你们从前好像迷路的羊, 如今却归到你们灵魂的牧人监督了.

I Peter - Chapter 3

3:1 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some are disobedient to the word, they may be won over without a word by the conduct of their wives,
你们作妻子的要顺服自己的丈夫; 这样, 若有不信从道理的丈夫, 他们虽然不听道, 也可以因妻子的品行被感化过来;

3:2 when they see your respectful, pure conduct.
这正是因看见你们有贞洁的品行和敬畏的心.

3:3 Let your adornment not be the external kind, braiding hair and putting on gold jewelry or putting on fine clothing,
你们不要以外面的辫头发, 戴金饰, 穿美衣为妆饰,

3:4 but the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is highly valuable in the sight of God.
只要以里面存著长久温柔,安静的心为妆饰; 这在神面前是极宝贵的.

3:5 For in the same way formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves by being subject to their own husbands,
因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人正是以此为妆饰, 顺服自己的丈夫,

3:6 like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you have become when you do good and are not frightened with respect to any terror.
就如撒拉听从亚伯拉罕, 称他为主. 你们若行善, 不因恐吓而害怕, 便是撒拉的女儿了.

3:7 Husbands, in the same way live with your wives knowledgeably, as with the weaker female vessel, showing them honor as fellow heirs also of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
你们作丈夫的也要按情理(原文是知识)和妻子同住; 因她比你软弱(比你软弱: 原文作是软弱的器皿), 与你一同承受生命之恩的, 所以要敬重她. 这样, 便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍.

3:8 And finally, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, showing mutual affection, compassionate, humble,
总而言之, 你们都要同心, 彼此体恤, 相爱如弟兄, 存慈怜谦卑的心.

3:9 not repaying evil for evil or insult for insult, but on the other hand blessing others, because for this reason you were called, so that you could inherit a blessing.
不以恶报恶, 以辱骂还辱骂, 倒要祝福; 因你们是为此蒙召, 好叫你们承受福气.

3:10 For “The one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips must not speak deceit.
因为经上说: 人若爱生命, 愿享美福, 须要禁止舌头不出恶言, 嘴唇不说诡诈的话;

3:11 And he must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
也要离恶行善, 寻求和睦, 一心追赶.

3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
因为, 主的眼看顾义人; 主的耳听他们的祈祷. 惟有行恶的人, 主向他们变脸.

3:13 And who is the one who will harm you if you are a zealous adherent for what is good?
你们若是热心行善, 有谁害你们呢?

3:14 But even if you might suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their intimidation or be disturbed,
你们就是为义受苦, 也是有福的. 不要怕人的威吓(的威吓: 或译所怕的), 也不要惊慌;

3:15 but set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense to anyone who asks you for an accounting concerning the hope that is in you.
只要心里尊主基督为圣. 有人问你们心中盼望的缘由, 就要常作准备, 以温柔,敬畏的心回答各人;

3:16 But do so with courtesy and respect, having a good conscience, so that in the things in which you are slandered, the ones who malign your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame.
存著无亏的良心, 叫你们在何事上被毁谤, 就在何事上可以叫那诬赖你们在基督里有好品行的人自觉羞愧.

3:17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil.
神的旨意若是叫你们因行善受苦, 总强如因行恶受苦.

3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, in order that he could bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,
因基督也曾一次为罪受苦(有古卷: 受死), 就是义的代替不义的, 为要引我们到神面前. 按着肉体说, 他被治死; 按著灵性说, 他复活了.

3:19 in which also he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,
他藉这灵曾去传道给那些在监狱里的灵听,

3:20 who were formerly disobedient, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while an ark was being constructed, in which a few—that is, eight souls—were rescued through water.
就是那从前在挪亚预备方舟,神容忍等待的时候, 不信从的人. 当时进入方舟, 藉著水得救的不多, 只有八个人.

3:21 And also, corresponding to this, baptism now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
这水所表明的洗礼, 现在藉著耶稣基督复活也拯救你们; 这洗礼本不在乎除掉肉体的污秽, 只求在神面前有无亏的良心.

3:22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, with angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to him.
耶稣已经进入天堂, 在神的右边; 众天使和有权柄的, 并有能力的, 都服从了他.

I Peter - Chapter 4

4:1 Therefore, because Christ suffered in the flesh, you also equip yourselves with the same way of thinking, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
基督既在肉身受苦, 你们也当将这样的心志作为兵器, 因为在肉身受过苦的, 就已经与罪断绝了.

4:2 in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for the will of God.
你们存这样的心, 从今以后就可以不从人的情欲, 只从神的旨意在世度余下的光阴.

4:3 For the time that has passed was sufficient to do what the Gentiles desire to do, having lived in licentiousness, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries,
因为往日随从外邦人的心意行邪淫,恶欲,醉酒,荒宴,群饮, 并可恶拜偶像的事, 时候已经够了.

4:4 with respect to which they are surprised when you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and so they revile you.
他们在这些事上, 见你们不与他们同奔那放荡无度的路, 就以为怪, 毁谤你们.

4:5 They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
他们必在那将要审判活人死人的主面前交帐.

4:6 Because for this reason also the gospel was preached to those who are dead, so that they were judged by human standards in the flesh, but they may live in the spirit by God’s standards.
为此, 就是死人也曾有福音传给他们, 要叫他们的肉体按著人受审判, 他们的灵性却靠神活着.

4:7 Now the end of all things draws near. Therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for your prayers.
万物的结局近了. 所以, 你们要谨慎自守, 警醒祷告.

4:8 Above all, keep your love for one another constant, because love covers a large number of sins.
最要紧的是彼此切实相爱, 因为爱能遮掩许多的罪.

4:9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.
你们要互相款待, 不发怨言.

4:10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it for serving one another, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.
各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事, 作神百般恩赐的好管家.

4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as the oracles of God; if anyone serves, let it be as by the strength that God provides, so that in all things God will be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
若有讲道的, 要按著神的圣言讲; 若有服事人的, 要按著神所赐的力量服事, 叫神在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀. 原来荣耀,权能都是他的, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

4:12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, when it takes place to test you, as if something strange were happening to you.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 有火炼的试验临到你们, 不要以为奇怪(似乎是遭遇非常的事),

4:13 But to the degree that you share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice and be glad.
倒要欢喜; 因为你们是与基督一同受苦, 使你们在他荣耀显现的时候, 也可以欢喜快乐.

4:14 If you are reviled on account of the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
你们若为基督的名受辱骂, 便是有福的; 因为神荣耀的灵常住在你们身上.

4:15 By all means do not let anyone of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.
你们中间却不可有人因为杀人,偷窃,作恶,好管闲事而受苦.

4:16 But if someone suffers as a Christian, he must not be ashamed, but must glorify God with this name.
若为作基督徒受苦, 却不要羞耻, 倒要因这名归荣耀给神.

4:17 For it is the time for the judgment to begin out from the household of God. But if it begins out from us first, what will be the outcome for those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?
因为时候到了, 审判要从神的家起首. 若是先从我们起首, 那不信从神福音的人将有何等的结局呢?

4:18 And if the righteous are saved with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
若是义人仅仅得救, 那不虔敬和犯罪的人将有何地可站呢?

4:19 So then also those who suffer according to the will of God must entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing good.
所以, 那照神旨意受苦的人要一心为善, 将自己灵魂交与那信实的造化之主.

I Peter - Chapter 5

5:1 Therefore I, your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a sharer of the glory that is going to be revealed, exhort the elders among you:
我这作长老,作基督受苦的见证,同享后来所要显现之荣耀的, 劝你们中间与我同作长老的人:

5:2 shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not by compulsion but willingly, in accordance with God, and not greedily but eagerly,
务要牧养在你们中间神的群羊, 按著神旨意照管他们; 不是出于勉强, 乃是出于甘心; 也不是因为贪财, 乃是出于乐意;

5:3 and not as lording it over those under your care, but being examples for the flock.
也不是辖制所托付你们的, 乃是作群羊的榜样.

5:4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
到了牧长显现的时候, 你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕.

5:5 In the same way, younger men, be subject to the elders, and all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
你们年幼的, 也要顺服年长的. 就是你们众人也都要以谦卑束腰, 彼此顺服; 因为神阻挡骄傲的人, 赐恩给谦卑的人.

5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the right time,
所以, 你们要自卑, 服在神大能的手下, 到了时候, 他必叫你们升高.

5:7 casting all your cares on him, because he cares for you.
你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神, 因为他顾念你们.

5:8 Be sober; be on the alert. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
务要谨守, 警醒. 因为你们的仇敌魔鬼, 如同吼叫的狮子, 遍地游行, 寻找可吞吃的人.

5:9 Resist him, steadfast in your faith, because you know the same kinds of sufferings are being accomplished by your community of believers in the world.
你们要用坚固的信心抵挡他, 因为知道你们在世上的众弟兄也是经历这样的苦难.

5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
那赐诸般恩典的神曾在基督里召你们, 得享他永远的荣耀, 等你们暂受苦难之后, 必要亲自成全你们, 坚固你们, 赐力量给你们.

5:11 To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
愿权能归给他, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

5:12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly to encourage you and to attest that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
我略略地写了这信, 托我所看为忠心的兄弟西拉转交你们, 劝勉你们, 又证明这恩是神的真恩. 你们务要在这恩上站立得住.

5:13 She who is in Babylon, chosen the same as you, greets you, and so does my son Mark.
在巴比伦与你们同蒙拣选的教会问你们安. 我儿子马可也问你们安.

5:14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
你们要用爱心彼此亲嘴问安. 愿平安归与你们凡在基督里的人!

II Peter (彼得后书)

II Peter - Chapter 1

1:1 Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith equal in value to ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
作耶稣基督仆人和使徒的西门•彼得写信给那因我们的神和(有古卷没有和字)救主耶稣基督之义,与我们同得一样宝贵信心的人.

1:2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
愿恩惠,平安, 因你们认识神和我们主耶稣, 多多地加给你们.

1:3 because his divine power has bestowed on us all things that are necessary for life and godliness, through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence of character,
神的神能已将一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们, 皆因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的主.

1:4 through which things he has bestowed on us his precious and very great promises, so that through these you may become sharers of the divine nature after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire,
因此, 他已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们, 叫我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏, 就得与神的性情有分.

1:5 and for this same reason, and by applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge,
正因这缘故, 你们要分外地殷勤; 有了信心, 又要加上德行; 有了德行, 又要加上知识;

1:6 and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness,
有了知识, 又要加上节制; 有了节制, 又要加上忍耐; 有了忍耐, 又要加上虔敬;

1:7 and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.
有了虔敬, 又要加上爱弟兄的心; 有了爱弟兄的心, 又要加上爱众人的心.

1:8 For if these things are yours and are increasing, this does not make you useless or unproductive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
你们若充充足足地有这几样, 就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上不至于闲懒不结果子了.

1:9 For the one for whom these things are not present is blind, being nearsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his former sins.
人若没有这几样, 就是眼瞎, 只看见近处的, 忘了他旧日的罪已经得了洁净.

1:10 Therefore, brothers, be zealous even more to make your calling and election secure, because if you do these things, you will never ever stumble.
所以弟兄们, 应当更加殷勤, 使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移. 你们若行这几样, 就永不失脚;

1:11 For in this way entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied for you.
这样, 必叫你们丰丰富富地得以进入我们主─救主耶稣基督永远的国.

1:12 Therefore I intend to remind you continually concerning these things, although you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
你们虽然晓得这些事, 并且在你们已有的真道上坚固, 我却要将这些事常常提醒你们.

1:13 But I consider it right, for as long as I am in this habitation, to stir you up by a reminder,
我以为应当趁我还在这帐棚的时候提醒你们, 激发你们;

1:14 because I know that the removal of my habitation is imminent, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
因为知道我脱离这帐棚的时候快到了, 正如我们主耶稣基督所指示我的.

1:15 And I will also make every effort that you are able at any time, after my departure, to recall these things to mind.
并且, 我要尽心竭力, 使你们在我去世以后时常记念这些事.

1:16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by following ingeniously concocted myths, but by being eyewitnesses of that one’s majesty.
我们从前将我们主耶稣基督的大能和他降临的事告诉你们, 并不是随从乖巧捏造的虚言, 乃是亲眼见过他的威荣.

1:17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice such as this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
他从父神得尊贵荣耀的时候, 从极大荣光之中有声音出来, 向他说: “这是我的爱子, 我所喜悦的. ”

1:18 And we ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain,
我们同他在圣山的时候, 亲自听见这声音从天上出来.

1:19 and we possess as more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well if you pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
我们并有先知更确的预言, 如同灯照在暗处. 你们在这预言上留意, 直等到天发亮, 晨星在你们心里出现的时候, 才是好的.

1:20 recognizing this above all, that every prophecy of scripture does not come about from one’s own interpretation,
第一要紧的, 该知道经上所有的预言没有可随私意解说的;

1:21 for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
因为预言从来没有出于人意的, 乃是人被圣灵感动, 说出神的话来.

II Peter - Chapter 2

2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, thus bringing on themselves swift destruction.
从前在百姓中有假先知起来, 将来在你们中间也必有假师傅, 私自引进陷害人的异端, 连买他们的主他们也不承认, 自取速速地灭亡.

2:2 And many will follow their licentious ways, because of whom the way of truth will be reviled.
将有许多人随从他们邪淫的行为, 便叫真道因他们的缘故被毁谤.

2:3 And in greediness they will exploit you with false words, whose condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
他们因有贪心, 要用捏造的言语在你们身上取利. 他们的刑罚, 自古以来并不迟延; 他们的灭亡也必速速来到(原文是也不打盹).

2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment,
就是天使犯了罪, 神也没有宽容, 曾把他们丢在地狱, 交在黑暗坑中, 等候审判.

2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a proclaimer of righteousness, and seven others when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
神也没有宽容上古的世代, 曾叫洪水临到那不敬虔的世代, 却保护了传义道的挪亚一家八口.

2:6 and condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, having appointed them as an example for those who are going to be ungodly,
又判定所多玛,蛾摩拉, 将二城倾覆, 焚烧成灰, 作为后世不敬虔人的鉴戒;

2:7 and rescued righteous Lot, worn down by the way of life of lawless persons in licentiousness
只搭救了那常为恶人淫行忧伤的义人罗得.

2:8 (for that righteous man, as he lived among them day after day, was tormenting his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he was seeing and hearing),
(因为那义人住在他们中间, 看见听见他们不法的事, 他的义心就天天伤痛. )

2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to reserve the unrighteous to be punished at the day of judgment,
主知道搭救敬虔的人脱离试探, 把不义的人留在刑罚之下, 等候审判的日子.

2:10 and especially those who go after the flesh in defiling lust and who despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they do not tremble in awe as they blaspheme majestic beings,
那些随肉身,纵污秽的情欲,轻慢主治之人的, 更是如此. 他们胆大任性, 毁谤在尊位的, 也不知惧怕.

2:11 whereas angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring against them a demeaning judgment.
就是天使, 虽然力量权能更大, 还不用毁谤的话在主面前告他们.

2:12 But these persons, like irrational animals born only with natural instincts for capture and killing, blaspheming about things they do not understand, in their destruction will also be destroyed,
但这些人好像没有灵性, 生来就是畜类, 以备捉拿宰杀的. 他们毁谤所不晓得的事, 正在败坏人的时候, 自己必遭遇败坏.

2:13 being harmed as the wages of unrighteousness. Considering reveling in the daytime a pleasure, they are stains and blemishes, carousing in their deceitful pleasures when they feast together with you,
行的不义, 就得了不义的工价. 这些人喜爱白昼宴乐, 他们已被玷污, 又有瑕疵, 正与你们一同坐席, 就以自己的诡诈为快乐.

2:14 having eyes full of desire for an adulteress and unceasing from sin, enticing unstable persons, and having hearts trained for greediness. Accursed children!
他们满眼是淫色(原文是淫妇), 止不住犯罪, 引诱那心不坚固的人, 心中习惯了贪婪, 正是被咒诅的种类.

2:15 By leaving the straight path, they have gone astray, because they followed the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,
他们离弃正路, 就走差了, 随从比珥之子巴兰的路. 巴兰就是那贪爱不义之工价的先知,

2:16 but received a rebuke for his own lawlessness: a speechless donkey, speaking with a human voice, restrained the prophet’s madness.
他却为自己的过犯受了责备; 那不能说话的驴以人言拦阻先知的狂妄.

2:17 These people are waterless springs and mists driven by a hurricane, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved.
这些人是无水的井, 是狂风催逼的雾气, 有墨黑的幽暗为他们存留.

2:18 For by speaking high-sounding but empty words, they entice with desires of the flesh and with licentiousness those who are scarcely escaping from those who live in error,
他们说虚妄矜夸的大话, 用肉身的情欲和邪淫的事引诱那些刚才脱离妄行的人.

2:19 promising them freedom although they themselves are slaves of depravity. For to whatever someone succumbs, by this he is also enslaved.
他们应许人得以自由, 自己却作败坏的奴仆, 因为人被谁制伏就是谁的奴仆.

2:20 For if, after they have escaped from the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and they are again entangled in these things and succumb to them, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
倘若他们因认识主─救主耶稣基督, 得以脱离世上的污秽, 后来又在其中被缠住,制伏, 他们末后的景况就比先前更不好了.

2:21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them.
他们晓得义路, 竟背弃了传给他们的圣命, 倒不如不晓得为妙.

2:22 The statement of the true proverb has happened to them, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and “A sow, after washing herself, returns to wallowing in the mud.”
俗语说得真不错: 狗所吐的, 牠转过来又吃; 猪洗净了又回到泥里去滚; 这话在他们身上正合式.

II Peter - Chapter 3

3:1 Dear friends, this is already the second letter I am writing to you, in both of which I am attempting to stir up your sincere mind by a reminder,
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我现在写给你们的是第二封信. 这两封都是提醒你们, 激发你们诚实的心,

3:2 to remember the words proclaimed beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,
叫你们记念圣先知预先所说的话和主救主的命令, 就是使徒所传给你们的.

3:3 above all knowing this, that in the last days scoffers will come with scoffing, following according to their own desires
第一要紧的, 该知道在末世必有好讥诮的人随从自己的私欲出来讥诮说:

3:4 and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued just as they have been from the beginning of creation.”
“主要降临的应许在哪里呢? 因为从列祖睡了以来, 万物与起初创造的时候仍是一样. ”

3:5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that the heavens existed long ago and the earth held together out of water and through water by the word of God,
他们故意忘记, 从太古, 凭神的命有了天, 并从水而出,藉水而成的地.

3:6 by means of which things the world that existed at that time was destroyed by being inundated with water.
故此, 当时的世界被水淹没就消灭了.

3:7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
但现在的天地还是凭著那命存留, 直留到不敬虔之人受审判遭沉沦的日子, 用火焚烧.

3:8 Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 有一件事你们不可忘记, 就是主看一日如千年, 千年如一日.

3:9 The Lord is not delaying the promise, as some consider slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not want any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
主所应许的尚未成就, 有人以为他是耽延, 其实不是耽延, 乃是宽容你们, 不愿有一人沉沦, 乃愿人人都悔改.

3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will disappear with a rushing noise, and the celestial bodies will be destroyed by being burned up, and the earth and the deeds done on it will be disclosed.
但主的日子要像贼来到一样. 那日, 天必大有响声废去, 有形质的都要被烈火销化, 地和其上的物都要烧尽了.

3:11 Because all these things are being destroyed in this way, what sort of people must you be in holy behavior and godliness,
这一切既然都要如此销化, 你们为人该当怎样圣洁, 怎样敬虔,

3:12 while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by being burned up and the celestial bodies will melt as they are consumed by heat!
切切仰望神的日子来到. 在那日, 天被火烧就销化了, 有形质的都要被烈火镕化.

3:13 But according to his promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness resides.
但我们照他的应许, 盼望新天新地, 有义居在其中.

3:14 Therefore, dear friends, because you are waiting for these things, make every effort to be found at peace, spotless and unblemished in him.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 你们既盼望这些事, 就当殷勤, 使自己没有玷污, 无可指摘, 安然见主;

3:15 And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom that was given to him,
并且要以我主长久忍耐为得救的因由, 就如我们所亲爱的兄弟保罗, 照着所赐给他的智慧写了信给你们.

3:16 as he does also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in which there are some things hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable distort to their own destruction, as they also do the rest of the scriptures.
他一切的信上也都是讲论这事. 信中有些难明白的, 那无学问,不坚固的人强解, 如强解别的经书一样, 就自取沉沦.

3:17 Therefore, dear friends, because you know this beforehand, guard yourselves so that you do not lose your own safe position because you have been led away by the error of lawless persons.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 你们既然预先知道这事, 就当防备, 恐怕被恶人的错谬诱惑, 就从自己坚固的地步上坠落.

3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
你们却要在我们主─救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进. 愿荣耀归给他, 从今直到永远. 阿们!

I John (约翰一书)

I John - Chapter 1

1:1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and our hands have touched, concerning the word of life—
论到从起初原有的生命之道, 就是我们所听见,所看见,亲眼看过,亲手摸过的.

1:2 and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and announce to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us—
(这生命已经显现出来, 我们也看见过, 现在又作见证, 将原与父同在,且显现与我们那永远的生命传给你们. )

1:3 what we have seen and heard, we announce to you also, in order that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
我们将所看见,所听见的传给你们, 使你们与我们相交. 我们乃是与父并他儿子耶稣基督相交的.

1:4 And these things we write, in order that our joy may be complete.
我们将这些话写给你们, 使你们(有古卷: 我们)的喜乐充足.

1:5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.
神就是光, 在他毫无黑暗. 这是我们从主所听见,又报给你们的信息.

1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
我们若说是与神相交, 却仍在黑暗里行, 就是说谎话, 不行真理了.

1:7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
我们若在光明中行, 如同神在光明中, 就彼此相交, 他儿子耶稣的血也洗净我们一切的罪.

1:8 If we say that we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
我们若说自己无罪, 便是自欺, 真理不在我们心里了.

1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so that he will forgive us our sins and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
我们若认自己的罪, 神是信实的, 是公义的, 必要赦免我们的罪, 洗净我们一切的不义.

1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
我们若说自己没有犯过罪, 便是以神为说谎的, 他的道也不在我们心里了.

I John - Chapter 2

2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one,
我小子们哪, 我将这些话写给你们, 是要叫你们不犯罪. 若有人犯罪, 在父那里我们有一位中保, 就是那义者耶稣基督.

2:2 and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
他为我们的罪作了挽回祭, 不是单为我们的罪, 也是为普天下人的罪.

2:3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
我们若遵守他的诫命, 就晓得是认识他.

2:4 The one who says “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person.
人若说“我认识他”, 却不遵守他的诫命, 便是说谎话的, 真理也不在他心里了.

2:5 But whoever keeps his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.
凡遵守主道的, 爱神的心在他里面实在是完全的. 从此, 我们知道我们是在主里面.

2:6 The one who says that he resides in him ought also to walk just as that one walked.
人若说他住在主里面, 就该自己照主所行的去行.

2:7 Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message which you have heard.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我写给你们的, 不是一条新命令, 乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令; 这旧命令就是你们所听见的道.

2:8 Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already is shining.
再者, 我写给你们的, 是一条新命令, 在主是真的, 在你们也是真的; 因为黑暗渐渐过去, 真光已经照耀.

2:9 The one who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness until now.
人若说自己在光明中, 却恨他的弟兄, 他到如今还是在黑暗里.

2:10 The one who loves his brother resides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
爱弟兄的, 就是住在光明中, 在他并没有绊跌的缘由.

2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
惟独恨弟兄的, 是在黑暗里, 且在黑暗里行, 也不知道往哪里去, 因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了.

2:12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you on account of his name.
小子们哪, 我写信给你们, 因为你们的罪藉著主名得了赦免.

2:13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have known the One who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one.
父老啊, 我写信给你们, 因为你们认识那从起初原有的. 少年人哪, 我写信给你们, 因为你们胜了那恶者. 小子们哪, 我曾写信给你们, 因为你们认识父.

2:14 I have written to you, children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known the One who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God resides in you, and you have conquered the evil one.
父老啊, 我曾写信给你们, 因为你们认识那从起初原有的. 少年人哪, 我曾写信给你们; 因为你们刚强, 神的道常存在你们心里; 你们也胜了那恶者.

2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
不要爱世界和世界上的事. 人若爱世界, 爱父的心就不在他里面了.

2:16 because everything that is in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance of material possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world.
因为, 凡世界上的事, 就像肉体的情欲,眼目的情欲, 并今生的骄傲, 都不是从父来的, 乃是从世界来的.

2:17 And the world is passing away, and its desire, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.
这世界和其上的情欲都要过去, 惟独遵行神旨意的, 是永远常存.

2:18 Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, by which we know that it is the last hour.
小子们哪, 如今是末时了. 你们曾听见说, 那敌基督的要来; 现在已经有好些敌基督的出来了, 从此我们就知道如今是末时了.

2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But they went out, in order that it might be shown that all of them are not of us.
他们从我们中间出去, 却不是属我们的; 若是属我们的, 就必仍旧与我们同在; 他们出去, 显明都不是属我们的.

2:20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
你们从那圣者受了恩膏, 并且知道这一切的事(或译: 都有知识).

2:21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because every lie is not of the truth.
我写信给你们, 不是因你们不知道真理, 正是因你们知道, 并且知道没有虚谎是从真理出来的.

2:22 Who is the liar except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This person is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
谁是说谎话的呢? 不是那不认耶稣为基督的吗? 不认父与子的, 这就是敌基督的.

2:23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
凡不认子的, 就没有父; 认子的, 连父也有了.

2:24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
论到你们, 务要将那从起初所听见的, 常存在心里. 若将从起初所听见的存在心里, 你们就必住在子里面, 也必住在父里面.

2:25 And this is the promise which he himself promised us: eternal life.
主所应许我们的就是永生.

2:26 These things I have written to you concerning the ones who are trying to deceive you.
我将这些话写给你们, 是指著那引诱你们的人说的.

2:27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not have need that anyone teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you reside in him.
你们从主所受的恩膏常存在你们心里, 并不用人教训你们, 自有主的恩膏在凡事上教训你们. 这恩膏是真的, 不是假的; 你们要按这恩膏的教训住在主里面.

2:28 And now, little children, remain in him, so that whenever he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.
小子们哪, 你们要住在主里面. 这样, 他若显现, 我们就可以坦然无惧; 当他来的时候, 在他面前也不至于惭愧.

2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.
你们若知道他是公义的, 就知道凡行公义之人都是他所生的.

I John - Chapter 3

3:1 See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called children of God, and we are! Because of this the world does not know us: because it did not know him.
你看父赐给我们是何等的慈爱, 使我们得称为神的儿女; 我们也真是他的儿女. 世人所以不认识我们, 是因未曾认识他.

3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我们现在是神的儿女, 将来如何, 还未显明; 但我们知道, 主若显现, 我们必要像他, 因为必得见他的真体.

3:3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure.
凡向他有这指望的, 就洁净自己, 像他洁净一样.

3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
凡犯罪的, 就是违背律法; 违背律法就是罪.

3:5 And you know that that one was revealed in order that he might take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
你们知道主曾显现, 是要除掉人的罪, 在他并没有罪.

3:6 Everyone who resides in him does not sin. Everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him.
凡住在他里面的, 就不犯罪; 凡犯罪的, 是未曾看见他, 也未曾认识他.

3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous.
小子们哪, 不要被人诱惑. 行义的才是义人, 正如主是义的一样.

3:8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil.
犯罪的是属魔鬼, 因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪. 神的儿子显现出来, 为要除灭魔鬼的作为.

3:9 Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his seed resides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God.
凡从神生的, 就不犯罪, 因神的道(原文是种)存在他心里; 他也不能犯罪, 因为他是由神生的.

3:10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are evident: everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, namely, the one who does not love his brother.
从此就显出谁是神的儿女, 谁是魔鬼的儿女. 凡不行义的就不属神, 不爱弟兄的也是如此.

3:11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another,
我们应当彼此相爱. 这就是你们从起初所听见的命令.

3:12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and violently murdered his brother. And for what reason did he violently murder him? Because his deeds were evil and the deeds of his brother were righteous.
不可像该隐; 他是属那恶者, 杀了他的兄弟. 为甚么杀了他呢? 因自己的行为是恶的, 兄弟的行为是善的.

3:13 Do not marvel, brothers, if the world hates you.
弟兄们, 世人若恨你们, 不要以为希奇.

3:14 We know that we have passed over from death to life because we love the brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.
我们因为爱弟兄, 就晓得是已经出死入生了. 没有爱心的, 仍住在死中.

3:15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have eternal life residing in him.
凡恨他弟兄的, 就是杀人的; 你们晓得凡杀人的, 没有永生存在他里面.

3:16 We have come to know love by this: that he laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers.
主为我们舍命, 我们从此就知道何为爱; 我们也当为弟兄舍命.

3:17 But whoever has the world’s material possessions and observes his brother in need and shuts his heart against him, how does the love of God reside in him?
凡有世上财物的, 看见弟兄穷乏, 却塞住怜恤的心, 爱神的心怎能存在他里面呢?

3:18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
小子们哪, 我们相爱, 不要只在言语和舌头上, 总要在行为和诚实上.

3:19 By this we know that we are of the truth and will convince our heart before him,
从此就知道我们是属真理的, 并且我们的心在神面前可以安稳.

3:20 that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
我们的心若责备我们, 神比我们的心大, 一切事没有不知道的.

3:21 Dear friends, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God,
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我们的心若不责备我们, 就可以向神坦然无惧了.

3:22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in his sight.
并且我们一切所求的, 就从他得着; 因为我们遵守他的命令, 行他所喜悦的事.

3:23 And this is his commandment: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded us.
神的命令就是叫我们信他儿子耶稣基督的名, 且照他所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱.

3:24 And the one who keeps his commandments resides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he resides in us: by the Spirit whom he has given to us.
遵守神命令的, 就住在神里面, 神也住在他里面. 我们所以知道神住在我们里面是因他所赐给我们的圣灵.

I John - Chapter 4

4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 一切的灵, 你们不可都信, 总要试验那些灵是出于神的不是, 因为世上有许多假先知已经出来了.

4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
凡灵认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的, 就是出于神的; 从此你们可以认出神的灵来.

4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
凡灵不认耶稣, 就不是出于神, 这是那敌基督者的灵. 你们从前听见他要来, 现在已经在世上了.

4:4 You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
小子们哪, 你们是属神的, 并且胜了他们; 因为那在你们里面的, 比那在世界上的更大.

4:5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world and the world listens to them.
他们是属世界的, 所以论世界的事, 世人也听从他们.

4:6 We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
我们是属神的, 认识神的就听从我们; 不属神的就不听从我们. 从此我们可以认出真理的灵和谬妄的灵来.

4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我们应当彼此相爱, 因为爱是从神来的. 凡有爱心的, 都是由神而生, 并且认识神.

4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
没有爱心的, 就不认识神, 因为神就是爱.

4:9 By this the love of God is revealed in us: that God sent his one and only Son into the world in order that we may live through him.
神差他独生子到世间来, 使我们藉著他得生, 神爱我们的心在此就显明了.

4:10 In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
不是我们爱神, 乃是神爱我们, 差他的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭, 这就是爱了.

4:11 Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 神既是这样爱我们, 我们也当彼此相爱.

4:12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us and his love is perfected in us.
从来没有人见过神, 我们若彼此相爱, 神就住在我们里面, 爱他的心在我们里面得以完全了.

4:13 By this we know that we reside in him and he in us: that he has given us of his Spirit.
神将他的灵赐给我们, 从此就知道我们是住在他里面, 他也住在我们里面.

4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
父差子作世人的救主; 这是我们所看见且作见证的.

4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.
凡认耶稣为神儿子的, 神就住在他里面, 他也住在神里面.

4:16 And we have come to know and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides in him.
神爱我们的心, 我们也知道也信. 神就是爱; 住在爱里面的, 就是住在神里面, 神也住在他里面.

4:17 By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as that one is, so also are we in this world.
这样, 爱在我们里面得以完全, 我们就可以在审判的日子坦然无惧. 因为他如何, 我们在这世上也如何.

4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear includes punishment, and the one who is afraid has not been perfected in love.
爱里没有惧怕; 爱既完全, 就把惧怕除去. 因为惧怕里含着刑罚, 惧怕的人在爱里未得完全.

4:19 We love, because he first loved us.
我们爱, 因为神先爱我们.

4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar, for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen is not able to love God whom he has not seen.
人若说“我爱神”, 却恨他的弟兄, 就是说谎话的; 不爱他所看见的弟兄, 就不能爱没有看见的神(有古卷: 怎能爱没有看见的神呢).

4:21 And this is the commandment we have from him: that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
爱神的, 也当爱弟兄, 这是我们从神所受的命令.

I John - Chapter 5

5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been fathered by God, and everyone who loves the father also loves the child fathered by him.
凡信耶稣是基督的, 都是从神而生, 凡爱生他之神的, 也必爱从神生的.

5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and keep his commandments.
我们若爱神, 又遵守他的诫命, 从此就知道我们爱神的儿女.

5:3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome,
我们遵守神的诫命, 这就是爱他了, 并且他的诫命不是难守的.

5:4 because everyone who is fathered by God conquers the world. And this is the victory which has conquered the world: our faith.
因为凡从神生的, 就胜过世界; 使我们胜了世界的, 就是我们的信心.

5:5 Now who is the one who conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
胜过世界的是谁呢? 不是那信耶稣是神儿子的吗?

5:6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ, not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
这藉著水和血而来的, 就是耶稣基督; 不是单用水, 乃是用水又用血,

5:7 For there are three that testify,
并且有圣灵作见证, 因为圣灵就是真理.

5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in agreement.
作见证的原来有三: 就是圣灵,水, 与血, 这三样也都归于一.

5:9 If we receive the testimony of people, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son.
我们既领受人的见证, 神的见证更该领受(该领受: 原文是大)了, 因神的见证是为他儿子作的.

5:10 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.)
信神儿子的, 就有这见证在他心里; 不信神的, 就是将神当作说谎的, 因不信神为他儿子作的见证.

5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
这见证就是神赐给我们永生; 这永生也是在他儿子里面.

5:12 The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
人有了神的儿子就有生命, 没有神的儿子就没有生命.

5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.
我将这些话写给你们信奉神儿子之名的人, 要叫你们知道自己有永生.

5:14 And this is the confidence that we have before him: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
我们若照他的旨意求甚么, 他就听我们, 这是我们向他所存坦然无惧的心.

5:15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.
既然知道他听我们一切所求的, 就知道我们所求于他的, 无不得着.

5:16 If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he should ask, and he will grant life to him, to those who sin not leading to death. (There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should ask about that.
人若看见弟兄犯了不至于死的罪, 就当为他祈求, 神必将生命赐给他; 有至于死的罪, 我不说当为这罪祈求.

5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.)
凡不义的事都是罪, 也有不至于死的罪.

5:18 We know that everyone who is fathered by God does not sin, but the one fathered by God, he protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
我们知道凡从神生的, 必不犯罪, 从神生的, 必保守自己(有古卷: 那从神生的必保护他), 那恶者也就无法害他.

5:19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
我们知道, 我们是属神的, 全世界都卧在那恶者手下.

5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, in order that we may know the one who is true, and we are in the one who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.
我们也知道, 神的儿子已经来到, 且将智慧赐给我们, 使我们认识那位真实的, 我们也在那位真实的里面, 就是在他儿子耶稣基督里面. 这是真神, 也是永生.

5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
小子们哪, 你们要自守, 远避偶像!

II John (约翰二书)

II John - Chapter 1

1:1 The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I alone, but also all those who know the truth—
作长老的写信给蒙拣选的太太(或译: 教会; 下同)和她的儿女, 就是我诚心所爱的; 不但我爱, 也是一切知道真理之人所爱的.

1:2 because of the truth that resides in us and will be with us forever.
爱你们是为真理的缘故, 这真理存在我们里面, 也必永远与我们同在.

1:3 Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.
恩惠,怜悯,平安从父神和他儿子耶稣基督在真理和爱心上必常与我们同在!

1:4 I was very glad because I found some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
我见你的儿女, 有照我们从父所受之命令遵行真理的, 就甚欢喜.

1:5 And now I ask you, lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you, but one that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another.
太太啊, 我现在劝你, 我们大家要彼此相爱. 这并不是我写一条新命令给你, 乃是我们从起初所受的命令.

1:6 And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.
我们若照他的命令行, 这就是爱. 你们从起初所听见当行的, 就是这命令.

1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the flesh. This person is the deceiver and the antichrist!
因为世上有许多迷惑人的出来, 他们不认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的; 这就是那迷惑人,敌基督的.

1:8 Watch yourselves that you do not lose what we have worked for, but receive a full reward.
你们要小心, 不要失去你们(有古卷: 我们)所做的工, 乃要得着满足的赏赐.

1:9 Everyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching—this person has both the Father and the Son.
凡越过基督的教训不常守着的, 就没有神; 常守这教训的, 就有父又有子.

1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not speak a greeting to him,
若有人到你们那里, 不是传这教训, 不要接他到家里, 也不要问他的安;

1:11 because the one who speaks a greeting to him shares in his evil deeds.
因为问他安的, 就在他的恶行上有分.

1:12 Although I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so by means of paper and ink, but I hope to be with you and to speak face to face, so that your joy may be complete.
我还有许多事要写给你们, 却不愿意用纸墨写出来, 但盼望到你们那里, 与你们当面谈论, 使你们的喜乐满足.

1:13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
你那蒙拣选之姊妹的儿女都问你安.

III John (约翰三书)

III John - Chapter 1

1:1 The elder, to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth.
作长老的写信给亲爱的该犹, 就是我诚心所爱的.

1:2 Dear friend, I pray you may prosper concerning everything and be healthy, just as your soul prospers.
亲爱的兄弟啊, 我愿你凡事兴盛, 身体健壮, 正如你的灵魂兴盛一样.

1:3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are walking in the truth.
有弟兄来证明你心里存的真理, 正如你按真理而行, 我就甚喜乐.

1:4 I have no greater joy than this: that I hear my children are walking in the truth.
我听见我的儿女们按真理而行, 我的喜乐就没有比这个大的.

1:5 Dear friend, you act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, even though they are strangers.
亲爱的兄弟啊, 凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的.

1:6 They have testified to your love before the church; you will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
他们在教会面前证明了你的爱; 你若配得过神, 帮助他们往前行, 这就好了.

1:7 For they have gone out on behalf of the name, accepting nothing from the pagans.
因他们是为主的名(原文是那名)出外, 对于外邦人一无所取.

1:8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we become fellow workers with the truth.
所以我们应该接待这样的人, 叫我们与他们一同为真理做工.

1:9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who wants to be first among them, does not acknowledge us.
我曾略略地写信给教会, 但那在教会中好为首的丢特腓不接待我们.

1:10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to the deeds he is doing, disparaging us with evil words. And not being content with these, he does not receive the brothers himself, and he hinders those wanting to do so and throws them out of the church.
所以我若去, 必要提说他所行的事, 就是他用恶言妄论我们. 还不以此为足, 他自己不接待弟兄, 有人愿意接待, 他也禁止, 并且将接待弟兄的人赶出教会.

1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
亲爱的兄弟啊, 不要效法恶, 只要效法善. 行善的属乎神; 行恶的未曾见过神.

1:12 Demetrius has been testified to by all, even by the truth itself. And we also testify to him, and you know that our testimony is true.
低米丢行善, 有众人给他作见证, 又有真理给他作见证, 就是我们也给他作见证. 你也知道我们的见证是真的.

1:13 I have many things to write to you, but I do not want to write to you by means of ink and pen.
我原有许多事要写给你, 却不愿意用笔墨写给你,

1:14 But I hope to see you right away, and to speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
但盼望快快地见你, 我们就当面谈论.

Jude (犹大书)

Jude - Chapter 1

1:1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
耶稣基督的仆人, 雅各的弟兄犹大, 写信给那被召,在父神里蒙爱,为耶稣基督保守的人.

1:2 May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
愿怜恤,平安,慈爱多多地加给你们.

1:3 Dear friends, although I was making every effort to write to you concerning our common salvation, I considered it a necessity to write to you to encourage you to contend for the faith delivered once and for all to the saints.
亲爱的弟兄啊, 我想尽心写信给你们, 论我们同得救恩的时候, 就不得不写信劝你们, 要为从前一次交付圣徒的真道竭力地争辩.

1:4 For certain men have slipped in stealthily, who were designated long ago for this condemnation, ungodly ones, who change the grace of our God into licentiousness and who deny our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ.
因为有些人偷着进来, 就是自古被定受刑罚的, 是不虔诚的, 将我们神的恩变作放纵情欲的机会, 并且不认独一的主宰─我们(或译: 和我们)主耶稣基督.

1:5 Now I want to remind you, although you know everything once and for all, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, the second time destroyed those who did not believe.
从前主救了他的百姓出埃及地, 后来就把那些不信的灭绝了. 这一切的事, 你们虽然都知道, 我却仍要提醒你们.

1:6 And the angels who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling place, he has kept in eternal bonds under deep gloom for the judgment of the great day,
又有不守本位,离开自己住处的天使, 主用锁链把他们永远拘留在黑暗里, 等候大日的审判.

1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire in the same way as these, are exhibited as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.
又如所多玛,蛾摩拉和周围城邑的人, 也照他们一味地行淫, 随从逆性的情欲, 就受永火的刑罚, 作为鉴戒.

1:8 Despite that, in the same way also these men, because of their dreams, defile the flesh and reject authority and blaspheme majestic beings.
这些做梦的人也像他们污秽身体, 轻慢主治的, 毁谤在尊位的.

1:9 But Michael the archangel, when he argued with the devil, disputing concerning the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
天使长米迦勒为摩西的尸首与魔鬼争辩的时候, 尚且不敢用毁谤的话罪责他, 只说: “主责备你吧! ”

1:10 But these persons blaspheme all that they do not understand, and all that they understand by instinct like the irrational animals, by these things they are being destroyed.
但这些人毁谤他们所不知道的. 他们本性所知道的事与那没有灵性的畜类一样, 在这事上竟败坏了自己.

1:11 Woe to them! For they have traveled in the way of Cain, and have given themselves up to the error of Balaam for gain, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
他们有祸了! 因为走了该隐的道路, 又为利往巴兰的错谬里直奔, 并在可拉的背叛中灭亡了.

1:12 These are the ones feasting together without reverence, hidden reefs at your love feasts, caring for themselves, waterless clouds carried away by winds, late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted,
这样的人在你们的爱席上与你们同吃的时候, 正是礁石(或译: 玷污). 他们作牧人, 只知喂养自己, 无所惧怕; 是没有雨的云彩, 被风飘荡; 是秋天没有果子的树, 死而又死, 连根被拔出来;

1:13 wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shameful deeds, wandering stars, for whom the deep gloom of darkness has been reserved for eternity.
是海里的狂浪, 涌出自己可耻的沫子来; 是流荡的星, 有墨黑的幽暗为他们永远存留.

1:14 And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about these people, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with tens of thousands of his holy ones
亚当的七世孙以诺, 曾预言这些人说: “看哪, 主带着他的千万圣者降临,

1:15 to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they have committed in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
要在众人身上行审判, 证实那一切不敬虔的人所妄行一切不敬虔的事, 又证实不敬虔之罪人所说顶撞他的刚愎话. ”

1:16 These people are grumblers, discontented, proceeding according to their desires, and their mouths speaking pompous words, showing partiality to gain an advantage.
这些人是私下议论, 常发怨言的, 随从自己的情欲而行, 口中说夸大的话, 为得便宜谄媚人.

1:17 But you, dear friends, remember the words proclaimed beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
亲爱的弟兄啊, 你们要记念我们主耶稣基督之使徒从前所说的话.

1:18 for they said to you, “In the end time there will be scoffers following according to their own ungodly desires.”
他们曾对你们说过, 末世必有好讥诮的人随从自己不敬虔的私欲而行.

1:19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly, not having the Spirit.
这就是那些引人结党,属乎血气,没有圣灵的人.

1:20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,
亲爱的弟兄啊, 你们却要在至圣的真道上造就自己, 在圣灵里祷告,

1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
保守自己常在神的爱中, 仰望我们主耶稣基督的怜悯, 直到永生.

1:22 And have mercy on those who doubt,
有些人存疑心, 你们要怜悯他们;

1:23 and save others by snatching them from the fire, and have mercy on others with fear, hating even the tunic stained by the flesh.
有些人你们要从火中抢出来, 搭救他们; 有些人你们要存惧怕的心怜悯他们, 连那被情欲沾染的衣服也当厌恶.

1:24 Now to the one who is able to protect you from stumbling and make you to stand before his glory blameless with exultation,
那能保守你们不失脚,叫你们无瑕无疵,欢欢喜喜站在他荣耀之前的我们的救主─独一的神,

1:25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and now and for all eternity. Amen.
愿荣耀,威严,能力,权柄, 因我们的主耶稣基督归与他, 从万古以前并现今, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

当主日, 我被圣灵感动, 听见在我后面有大声音如吹号, 说:

1:11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
“你所看见的当写在书上, 达与以弗所,士每拿,别迦摩,推雅推喇,撒狄,非拉铁非,老底嘉那七个教会. ”

1:12 And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me, and when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands,
我转过身来, 要看是谁发声与我说话; 既转过来, 就看见七个金灯台.

1:13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching to the feet and girded around his chest with a golden belt,
灯台中间有一位好像人子, 身穿长衣, 直垂到脚, 胸间束著金带.

我一看见, 就仆倒在他脚前, 像死了一样. 他用右手按著我, 说: “不要惧怕! 我是首先的, 我是末后的,

1:18 and the one who lives, and I was dead, and behold, I am living forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and of Hades.
又是那存活的; 我曾死过, 现在又活了, 直活到永永远远; 并且拿着死亡和阴间的钥匙.

1:19 Therefore, write the things which you saw, and the things which are, and the things which are about to take place after these things.
所以你要把所看见的, 和现在的事, 并将来必成的事, 都写出来.

1:20 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands—the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Revelation of John - Chapter 2

2:1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: “This is what the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand says, the one who walks in the midst of the seven gold lampstands:
“你要写信给以弗所教会的使者, 说: ‘那右手拿着七星,在七个金灯台中间行走的, 说:

2:2 ‘I know your works, and your labor and patient endurance, and that you are not able to tolerate evil, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you found them to be false.
我知道你的行为,劳碌,忍耐, 也知道你不能容忍恶人. 你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的, 看出他们是假的来.

2:3 And you have patient endurance, and have endured many things because of my name, and have not become weary.
你也能忍耐, 曾为我的名劳苦, 并不乏倦.

2:4 But I have this against you: that you have left your first love.
然而有一件事我要责备你, 就是你把起初的爱心离弃了.

2:5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the works you did at first. But if you do not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
所以, 应当回想你是从哪里坠落的, 并要悔改, 行起初所行的事. 你若不悔改, 我就临到你那里, 把你的灯台从原处挪去.

2:6 But you do have this: that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, things which I also hate.
然而你还有一件可取的事, 就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为, 这也是我所恨恶的.

2:7 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will grant to him to eat from the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! 得胜的, 我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃. ’”

2:8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: “This is what the first and the last says, who was dead and came to life:
“你要写信给士每拿教会的使者, 说: ‘那首先的,末后的,死过又活的, 说:

2:9 ‘I know your affliction and poverty (but you are rich), and the slander of those who call themselves Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
我知道你的患难, 你的贫穷(你却是富足的), 也知道那自称是犹太人所说的毁谤话, 其实他们不是犹太人, 乃是撒但一会的人.

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and you will experience affliction ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
你将要受的苦你不用怕. 魔鬼要把你们中间几个人下在监里, 叫你们被试炼, 你们必受患难十日. 你务要至死忠心, 我就赐给你那生命的冠冕.

2:11 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! 得胜的, 必不受第二次死的害. ’”

2:12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: “This is what the one who has the sharp double-edged sword says:
“你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者, 说: ‘那有两刃利剑的, 说:

2:13 ‘I know where you live, where the throne of Satan is. And you hold fast to my name and did not deny your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan lives.
我知道你的居所, 就是有撒但座位之处; 当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间,撒但所住的地方被杀之时, 你还坚守我的名, 没有弃绝我的道.

2:14 But I have a few things against you: that you have there those who hold fast to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat food sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
然而, 有几件事我要责备你: 因为在你那里有人服从了巴兰的教训; 这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前, 叫他们吃祭偶像之物, 行奸淫的事.

2:15 So likewise you also have those who hold fast to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训.

2:16 Therefore repent! But if you do not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war with them with the sword from my mouth.
所以, 你当悔改; 若不悔改, 我就快临到你那里, 用我口中的剑攻击他们.

2:17 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give to him some of the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! 得胜的, 我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他, 并赐他一块白石, 石上写着新名; 除了那领受的以外, 没有人能认识. ’”

2:18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: “This is what the Son of God says, the one who has his eyes like a fiery flame and his feet like fine bronze:
“你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者, 说: ‘那眼目如火焰,脚像光明铜的神之子说:

2:19 ‘I know your works, and your love, and faith, and service, and patient endurance—and your last works are greater than the first.
我知道你的行为,爱心,信心,勤劳,忍耐, 又知道你末后所行的善事, 比起初所行的更多.

2:20 But I have against you that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, the one who calls herself a prophetess, and teaches and deceives my slaves to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
然而, 有一件事我要责备你, 就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的仆人, 引诱他们行奸淫, 吃祭偶像之物.

2:21 And I have given her time in order to repent, and she did not want to repent from her sexual immorality.
我曾给她悔改的机会, 她却不肯悔改她的淫行.

2:22 Behold, I am throwing her into a sickbed and those who committed adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent from her deeds.
看哪, 我要叫她病卧在床. 那些与她行淫的人, 若不悔改所行的, 我也要叫他们同受大患难.

2:23 And I will kill her children with deadly disease, and all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
我又要杀死她的党类(原文是儿女), 叫众教会知道, 我是那察看人肺腑心肠的, 并要照你们的行为报应你们各人.

2:24 But I say to you, to the rest who are in Thyatira, all those who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they say, I do not put upon you any other burden.
至于你们推雅推喇其余的人, 就是一切不从那教训,不晓得他们素常所说撒但深奥之理的人, 我告诉你们, 我不将别的担子放在你们身上.

2:25 Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come.
但你们已经有的, 总要持守, 直等到我来.

2:26 And the one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, I will give him authority over the nations,
那得胜又遵守我命令到底的, 我要赐给他权柄制伏列国;

2:27 and “he will shepherd them with an iron rod; he will break them in pieces like jars made of clay,”
他必用铁杖辖管(辖管: 原文是牧)他们, 将他们如同窑户的瓦器打得粉碎, 像我从我父领受的权柄一样.

2:28 as I also have received from my Father, and I will give him the morning star.
我又要把晨星赐给他.

2:29 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! ’”

Revelation of John - Chapter 3

3:1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: “This is what the one who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says: ‘I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, and you are dead.
“你要写信给撒狄教会的使者, 说: ‘那有神的七灵和七星的, 说: 我知道你的行为, 按名你是活的, 其实是死的.

3:2 Be on the alert and strengthen the remaining things that are about to die, for I have not found your works completed before my God.
你要警醒, 坚固那剩下将要衰微(原文是死)的; 因我见你的行为, 在我神面前, 没有一样是完全的.

3:3 Therefore remember how you have received and heard, and observe it, and repent. If therefore you are not on the alert, I will come like a thief, and you will never know at what hour I will come against you.
所以要回想你是怎样领受,怎样听见的, 又要遵守, 并要悔改. 若不警醒, 我必临到你那里, 如同贼一样. 我几时临到, 你也决不能知道.

3:4 But you have a few people in Sardis who have not defiled their clothing, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.
然而在撒狄, 你还有几名是未曾污秽自己衣服的, 他们要穿白衣与我同行, 因为他们是配得过的.

3:5 The one who conquers in this way will be dressed in white clothing, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, and I will declare his name before my Father and before his angels.
凡得胜的必这样穿白衣, 我也必不从生命册上涂抹他的名; 且要在我父面前, 和我父众使者面前, 认他的名.

3:6 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! ’”

3:7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: “This is what the holy one, the true one, the one who has the key of David, the one who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one can open, says:
“你要写信给非拉铁非教会的使者, 说: ‘那圣洁,真实,拿着大卫的钥匙,开了就没有人能关,关了就没有人能开的, 说:

3:8 ‘I know your works (behold, I have put before you an opened door that no one is able to shut) that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and did not deny my name.
我知道你的行为, 你略有一点力量, 也曾遵守我的道, 没有弃绝我的名. 看哪, 我在你面前给你一个敞开的门, 是无人能关的.

3:9 Behold, I am causing those of the synagogue of Satan, the ones who call themselves Jews and are not, but are lying—behold, I will make them come and kneel down before your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
那撒但一会的, 自称是犹太人, 其实不是犹太人, 乃是说谎话的, 我要使他们来, 在你脚前下拜, 也使他们知道我是已经爱你了.

3:10 Because you have kept the word of my patient endurance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole inhabited world, to put to the test those who live on the earth.
你既遵守我忍耐的道, 我必在普天下人受试炼的时候, 保守你免去你的试炼.

3:11 I am coming quickly! Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take away your crown.
我必快来, 你要持守你所有的, 免得人夺去你的冠冕.

3:12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will never go outside again, and I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God, and my new name.
得胜的, 我要叫他在我神殿中作柱子, 他也必不再从那里出去. 我又要将我神的名和我神城的名(这城就是从天上,从我神那里降下来的新耶路撒冷), 并我的新名, 都写在他上面.

3:13 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! ’”

3:14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: “This is what the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the originator of God’s creation, says:
“你要写信给老底嘉教会的使者, 说: ‘那为阿们的, 为诚信真实见证的, 在神创造万物之上为元首的, 说:

3:15 ‘I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!
我知道你的行为, 你也不冷也不热; 我巴不得你或冷或热.

3:16 Thus, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of my mouth!
你既如温水, 也不冷也不热, 所以我必从我口中把你吐出去.

3:17 Because you are saying, “I am rich, and have become rich, and I have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and pitiable and poor and blind and naked,
你说: 我是富足, 已经发了财, 一样都不缺; 却不知道你是那困苦,可怜,贫穷,瞎眼,赤身的.

3:18 I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire, in order that you may become rich, and white clothing, in order that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed, and eye salve to smear on your eyes, in order that you may see.
我劝你向我买火炼的金子, 叫你富足; 又买白衣穿上, 叫你赤身的羞耻不露出来; 又买眼药擦你的眼睛, 使你能看见.

3:19 As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. Be zealous, therefore, and repent!
凡我所疼爱的, 我就责备管教他; 所以你要发热心, 也要悔改.

3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, indeed I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.
看哪, 我站在门外叩门, 若有听见我声音就开门的, 我要进到他那里去, 我与他, 他与我一同坐席.

3:21 The one who conquers, I will grant to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also have conquered and have sat down with my Father on his throne.
得胜的, 我要赐他在我宝座上与我同坐, 就如我得了胜, 在我父的宝座上与他同坐一般.

3:22 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ ”
圣灵向众教会所说的话, 凡有耳的, 就应当听! ’”

Revelation of John - Chapter 4

4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, an open door in heaven, and the former voice that I had heard like a trumpet speaking with me was saying, “Come up here and I will show you the things which must take place after these things.”
此后, 我观看, 见天上有门开了. 我初次听见好像吹号的声音, 对我说: “你上到这里来, 我要将以后必成的事指示你. ”

4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one was seated on the throne.
我立刻被圣灵感动, 见有一个宝座安置在天上, 又有一位坐在宝座上.

4:3 And the one seated was similar in appearance to jasper and carnelian stone, and a rainbow was around the throne similar in appearance to emerald.
看那坐着的, 好像碧玉和红宝石; 又有虹围着宝座, 好像绿宝石.

4:4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders dressed in white clothing, and on their heads were gold crowns.
宝座的周围又有二十四个座位; 其上坐着二十四位长老, 身穿白衣, 头上戴着金冠冕.

4:5 And from the throne came out lightnings and sounds and thunders, and seven torches of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
有闪电,声音,雷轰从宝座中发出; 又有七盏火灯在宝座前点着; 这七灯就是神的七灵.

4:6 And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal, and in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
宝座前好像一个玻璃海, 如同水晶. 宝座中和宝座周围有四个活物, 前后遍体都满了眼睛.

4:7 And the first living creature was similar to a lion, and the second living creature was similar to an ox, and the third living creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth living creature was similar to an eagle flying.
第一个活物像狮子, 第二个像牛犊, 第三个脸面像人, 第四个像飞鹰.

4:8 And the four living creatures, each one of them, had six wings apiece, full of eyes around and inside, and they do not have rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful, the one who was and the one who is and the one who is coming!”
四活物各有六个翅膀, 遍体内外都满了眼睛. 他们昼夜不住地说: 圣哉! 圣哉! 圣哉! 主神是昔在,今在,以后永在的全能者.

4:9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who is seated on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever,
每逢四活物将荣耀,尊贵,感谢归给那坐在宝座上,活到永永远远者的时候,

4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who is seated on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and put down their crowns before the throne, saying,
那二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的面前敬拜那活到永永远远的, 又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前, 说:

4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, because you have created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.”
我们的主, 我们的神, 你是配得荣耀,尊贵,权柄的; 因为你创造了万物, 并且万物是因你的旨意被创造而有的.

Revelation of John - Chapter 5

5:1 And I saw in the right hand of the one who is seated on the throne a scroll, written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
我看见坐宝座的右手中有书卷, 里外都写着字, 用七印封严了.

5:2 And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?”
我又看见一位大力的天使大声宣传说: “有谁配展开那书卷, 揭开那七印呢? ”

5:3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.
在天上,地上,地底下, 没有能展开,能观看那书卷的.

5:4 And I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.
因为没有配展开,配观看那书卷的, 我就大哭.

5:5 And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.
长老中有一位对我说: “不要哭! 看哪, 犹大支派中的狮子, 大卫的根, 他已得胜, 能以展开那书卷, 揭开那七印. ”

5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as though slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.
我又看见宝座与四活物, 并长老之中有羔羊站立, 像是被杀过的, 有七角七眼, 就是神的七灵, 奉差遣往普天下去的.

5:7 And he came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne.
这羔羊前来, 从坐宝座的右手里拿了书卷.

5:8 And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one of whom had a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
他既拿了书卷, 四活物和二十四位长老就俯伏在羔羊面前, 各拿着琴和盛满了香的金炉; 这香就是众圣徒的祈祷.

5:9 And they were singing a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered, and bought people for God by your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation,
他们唱新歌, 说: 你配拿书卷, 配揭开七印; 因为你曾被杀, 用自己的血从各族,各方,各民,各国中买了人来, 叫他们归于神,

5:10 and made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
又叫他们成为国民, 作祭司归于神, 在地上执掌王权.

5:11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and of the living creatures and of the elders, and their number was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands,
我又看见且听见, 宝座与活物并长老的周围有许多天使的声音; 他们的数目有千千万万,

5:12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
大声说: 曾被杀的羔羊是配得权柄,丰富,智慧,能力,尊贵,荣耀,颂赞的.

5:13 And I heard every creature that is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea and everything in them saying, “To the one who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever.”
我又听见在天上,地上,地底下,沧海里, 和天地间一切所有被造之物, 都说: 但愿颂赞,尊贵,荣耀,权势都归给坐宝座的和羔羊, 直到永永远远!

5:14 And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
四活物就说: “阿们! ”众长老也俯伏敬拜.

Revelation of John - Chapter 6

6:1 And I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying like the sound of thunder, “Come!”
我看见羔羊揭开七印中第一印的时候, 就听见四活物中的一个活物, 声音如雷, 说: “你来! ”

6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and in order that he might conquer.
我就观看, 见有一匹白马; 骑在马上的, 拿着弓, 并有冠冕赐给他. 他便出来, 胜了又要胜.

6:3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
揭开第二印的时候, 我听见第二个活物说: “你来! ”

6:4 And another horse came out, fiery red, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace from the earth, and that they would slaughter one another, and a large sword was given to him.
就另有一匹马出来, 是红的, 有权柄给了那骑马的, 可以从地上夺去太平, 使人彼此相杀; 又有一把大刀赐给他.

6:5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and the one seated on it had a balance scale in his hand.
揭开第三印的时候, 我听见第三个活物说: “你来! ”我就观看, 见有一匹黑马; 骑在马上的, 手里拿着天平.

6:6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not damage the olive oil and the wine!”
我听见在四活物中似乎有声音说: “一钱银子买一升麦子, 一钱银子买三升大麦; 油和酒不可糟蹋. ”

6:7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice from the fourth living creature saying, “Come!”
揭开第四印的时候, 我听见第四个活物说: “你来! ”

6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale green horse, and the one seated on it was named Death, and Hades followed after him. And authority was granted to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword and by famine and by pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
我就观看, 见有一匹灰色马; 骑在马上的, 名字叫作死, 阴府也随着他; 有权柄赐给他们, 可以用刀剑,饥荒,瘟疫(或译: 死亡),野兽, 杀害地上四分之一的人.

6:9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they had,
揭开第五印的时候, 我看见在祭坛底下, 有为神的道,并为作见证被杀之人的灵魂,

6:10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, holy and true Lord, will you not judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?”
大声喊著说: “圣洁真实的主啊, 你不审判住在地上的人, 给我们伸流血的冤, 要等到几时呢? ”

6:11 And to each one of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they should rest yet a short time, until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they had been were completed also.
于是有白衣赐给他们各人; 又有话对他们说, 还要安息片时, 等著一同作仆人的和他们的弟兄也像他们被杀, 满足了数目.

6:12 And I watched when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake took place, and the sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood,
揭开第六印的时候, 我又看见地大震动, 日头变黑像毛布, 满月变红像血,

6:13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth like a fig tree throws down its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.
天上的星辰坠落于地, 如同无花果树被大风摇动, 落下未熟的果子一样.

6:14 And the sky was split apart like a scroll that is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved from their place.
天就挪移, 好像书卷被卷起来; 山岭海岛都被挪移离开本位.

6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the most important people, and the military leaders, and the rich, and the powerful, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
地上的君王,臣宰,将军,富户,壮士, 和一切为奴的,自主的, 都藏在山洞和岩石穴里,

6:16 And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
向山和岩石说: “倒在我们身上吧! 把我们藏起来, 躲避坐宝座者的面目和羔羊的忿怒;

6:17 because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
因为他们忿怒的大日到了, 谁能站得住呢? ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 7

7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.
此后, 我看见四位天使站在地的四角, 执掌地上四方的风, 叫风不吹在地上,海上, 和树上.

7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, holding the seal of the living God, and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who were given permission to damage the earth and the sea,
我又看见另有一位天使, 从日出之地上来, 拿着永生神的印. 他就向那得着权柄能伤害地和海的四位天使大声喊著说:

7:3 saying, “Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the slaves of our God on their foreheads.”
“地与海并树木, 你们不可伤害, 等我们印了我们神众仆人的额. ”

7:4 And I heard the number of the ones who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
我听见以色列人各支派中受印的数目有十四万四千.

7:5 from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand sealed, from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand,
犹大支派中受印的有一万二千; 流便支派中有一万二千; 迦得支派中有一万二千;

7:6 from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand,
亚设支派中有一万二千; 拿弗他利支派中有一万二千; 玛拿西支派中有一万二千;

7:7 from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand,
西缅支派中有一万二千; 利未支派中有一万二千; 以萨迦支派中有一万二千;

7:8 from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
西布伦支派中有一万二千; 约瑟支派中有一万二千; 便雅悯支派中受印的有一万二千.

7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great crowd that no one was able to number, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes and with palm branches in their hands.
此后, 我观看, 见有许多的人, 没有人能数过来, 是从各国,各族,各民,各方来的, 站在宝座和羔羊面前, 身穿白衣, 手拿棕树枝,

7:10 And they were crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
大声喊著说: “愿救恩归与坐在宝座上我们的神, 也归与羔羊! ”

7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
众天使都站在宝座和众长老并四活物的周围, 在宝座前, 面伏于地, 敬拜神,

7:12 saying, “Amen! Praise and glory, and wisdom and thanksgiving, and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!”
说: 阿们! 颂赞,荣耀,智慧,感谢,尊贵,权柄,大力都归与我们的神, 直到永永远远. 阿们!

7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are dressed in the white robes—who are they, and from where have they come?”
长老中有一位问我说: “这些穿白衣的是谁? 是从哪里来的? ”

7:14 And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
我对他说: “我主, 你知道. ”他向我说: “这些人是从大患难中出来的, 曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白净了.

7:15 Because of this, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
所以, 他们在神宝座前, 昼夜在他殿中事奉他. 坐宝座的要用帐幕覆庇他们.

7:16 They will not be hungry any longer or be thirsty any longer, nor will the sun ever beat down on them, nor any heat,
他们不再饥, 不再渴; 日头和炎热也必不伤害他们.

7:17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and will lead them to springs of living waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们, 领他们到生命水的泉源; 神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪. ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 8

8:1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
羔羊揭开第七印的时候, 天上寂静约有二刻.

8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
我看见那站在神面前的七位天使, 有七枝号赐给他们.

8:3 And another angel who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and a large amount of incense was given to him, in order that he could offer the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne.
另有一位天使, 拿着金香炉来, 站在祭坛旁边. 有许多香赐给他, 要和众圣徒的祈祷一同献在宝座前的金坛上.

8:4 And the smoke of the incense went up before God with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel.
那香的烟和众圣徒的祈祷从天使的手中一同升到神面前.

8:5 And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire from the altar and threw it to the earth, and there were thunders and sounds and lightnings and an earthquake.
天使拿着香炉, 盛满了坛上的火, 倒在地上; 随有雷轰,大声,闪电,地震.

8:6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves in order to blow them.
拿着七枝号的七位天使就预备要吹.

8:7 And the first blew the trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was thrown to the earth, and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
第一位天使吹号, 就有雹子与火搀著血丢在地上; 地的三分之一和树的三分之一被烧了, 一切的青草也被烧了.

8:8 And the second angel blew the trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,
第二位天使吹号, 就有仿佛火烧着的大山扔在海中; 海的三分之一变成血,

8:9 and a third of the creatures in the sea—the ones which had life—died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
海中的活物死了三分之一, 船只也坏了三分之一.

8:10 And the third angel blew the trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
第三位天使吹号, 就有烧着的大星, 好像火把从天上落下来, 落在江河的三分之一和众水的泉源上.

8:11 And the name of the star was called Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.
(这星名叫“茵蔯”. )众水的三分之一变为茵蔯, 因水变苦, 就死了许多人.

8:12 And the fourth angel blew the trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened, and the day did not shine with respect to a third of it, and the night likewise.
第四位天使吹号, 日头的三分之一,月亮的三分之一,星辰的三分之一都被击打, 以致日月星的三分之一黑暗了, 白昼的三分之一没有光, 黑夜也是这样.

8:13 And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying directly overhead, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who live on the earth, from the remaining sounds of the trumpets of the three angels who are about to blow the trumpet!”
我又看见一个鹰飞在空中, 并听见牠大声说: “三位天使要吹那其余的号. 你们住在地上的民, 祸哉! 祸哉! 祸哉! ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 9

9:1 And the fifth angel blew the trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth, and the key of the shaft of the abyss was given to him.
第五位天使吹号, 我就看见一个星从天落到地上, 有无底坑的钥匙赐给它.

9:2 And he opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke went up from the shaft like smoke from a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.
它开了无底坑, 便有烟从坑里往上冒, 好像大火炉的烟; 日头和天空都因这烟昏暗了.

9:3 And out of the smoke locusts came to the earth, and power was given to them like the scorpions of the earth have power.
有蝗虫从烟中出来, 飞到地上; 有能力赐给牠们, 好像地上蝎子的能力一样,

9:4 And it was told to them that they should not damage the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, except those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
并且吩咐牠们说, 不可伤害地上的草和各样青物, 并一切树木, 惟独要伤害额上没有神印记的人.

9:5 And it was granted to them that they should not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months, and their torment is like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person.
但不许蝗虫害死他们, 只叫他们受痛苦五个月. 这痛苦就像蝎子螫人的痛苦一样.

9:6 And in those days people will seek death and will never find it, and they will long to die, and death will flee from them.
在那些日子, 人要求死, 决不得死; 愿意死, 死却远避他们.

9:7 And the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads were something like crowns similar in appearance to gold, and their faces were like men’s faces,
蝗虫的形状, 好像预备出战的马一样, 头上戴的好像金冠冕, 脸面好像男人的脸面,

9:8 and they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions,
头发像女人的头发, 牙齿像狮子的牙齿.

9:9 and they had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many horse-drawn chariots running into battle.
胸前有甲, 好像铁甲. 牠们翅膀的声音, 好像许多车马奔跑上阵的声音.

9:10 And they have tails similar in appearance to scorpions, and stings, and their power to injure people for five months is in their tails.
有尾巴像蝎子, 尾巴上的毒钩能伤人五个月.

9:11 They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
有无底坑的使者作牠们的王, 按著希伯来话, 名叫亚巴顿, 希腊话, 名叫亚玻伦.

9:12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still coming after these things.
第一样灾祸过去了, 还有两样灾祸要来.

9:13 And the sixth angel blew the trumpet, and I heard one voice from the horns of the golden altar that is before God
第六位天使吹号, 我就听见有声音从神面前金坛的四角出来,

9:14 saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who have been bound at the great river Euphrates!”
吩咐那吹号的第六位天使, 说: “把那捆绑在幼发拉底大河的四个使者释放了. ”

9:15 And the four angels who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released, in order that they should kill a third of humanity.
那四个使者就被释放; 他们原是预备好了, 到某年某月某日某时, 要杀人的三分之一.

9:16 And the number of the troops of the cavalry was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
马军有二万万; 他们的数目我听见了.

9:17 And in this way I saw the horses in the vision, and those seated on them, who had fiery red and hyacinth-colored and sulphurous yellow breastplates, and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.
我在异象中看见那些马和骑马的, 骑马的胸前有甲如火, 与紫玛瑙并硫磺. 马的头好像狮子头, 有火,有烟,有硫磺从马的口中出来.

9:18 By these three plagues a third of humanity was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.
口中所出来的火与烟并硫磺, 这三样灾杀了人的三分之一.

9:19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are similar in appearance to snakes, having heads, and with them they cause injury.
这马的能力是在口里和尾巴上; 因这尾巴像蛇, 并且有头用以害人.

9:20 And the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, in order not to worship the demons and the gold and silver and bronze and stone and wooden idols, which are able neither to see nor to hear nor to walk,
其余未曾被这些灾所杀的人仍旧不悔改自己手所做的, 还是去拜鬼魔和那些不能看,不能听,不能走, 金,银,铜,木,石的偶像,

9:21 and they did not repent of their murders or of their magic spells or of their sexual immorality or of their thefts.
又不悔改他们那些凶杀,邪术,奸淫,偷窃的事.

Revelation of John - Chapter 10

10:1 And I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, and a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire,
我又看见另有一位大力的天使从天降下, 披着云彩, 头上有虹, 脸面像日头, 两脚像火柱.

10:2 and holding in his hand a little scroll that was opened. And he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land.
他手里拿着小书卷, 是展开的. 他右脚踏海, 左脚踏地,

10:3 And he cried out with a loud voice like a lion roars, and when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their own voices.
大声呼喊, 好像狮子吼叫. 呼喊完了, 就有七雷发声.

10:4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them!”
七雷发声之后, 我正要写出来, 就听见从天上有声音说: “七雷所说的, 你要封上, 不可写出来. ”

10:5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven
我所看见的那踏海踏地的天使向天举起右手来,

10:6 and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no more delay!
指著那创造天和天上之物, 地和地上之物, 海和海中之物, 直活到永永远远的, 起誓说: “不再有时日了(或译: 不再耽延了). ”

10:7 But in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, whenever he is about to blow the trumpet, then the mystery of God is completed, as he announced to his own slaves the prophets.”
但在第七位天使吹号发声的时候, 神的奥祕就成全了, 正如神所传给他仆人众先知的佳音.

10:8 And the voice that I had heard from heaven was speaking with me again and saying, “Go, take the opened scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
我先前从天上所听见的那声音又吩咐我说: “你去, 把那踏海踏地之天使手中展开的小书卷取过来. ”

10:9 And I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll, and he said to me, “Take and eat it up, and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
我就走到天使那里, 对他说: “请你把小书卷给我. ”他对我说: “你拿着吃尽了, 便叫你肚子发苦, 然而在你口中要甜如蜜. ”

10:10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it up, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth, and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
我从天使手中把小书卷接过来, 吃尽了, 在我口中果然甜如蜜, 吃了以后, 肚子觉得发苦了.

10:11 And they said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
天使(原文是他们)对我说: “你必指著多民,多国,多方,多王再说预言. ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 11

11:1 And a measuring rod similar in appearance to a staff was given to me, saying, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship in it.
有一根苇子赐给我, 当作量度的杖; 且有话说: “起来! 将神的殿和祭坛, 并在殿中礼拜的人都量一量.

11:2 And leave out the courtyard outside of the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles, and they will trample the holy city for forty two months.
只是殿外的院子要留下不用量, 因为这是给了外邦人的; 他们要践踏圣城四十二个月.

11:3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days, dressed in sackcloth.”
我要使我那两个见证人, 穿着毛衣, 传道一千二百六十天. ”

11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
他们就是那两棵橄榄树, 两个灯台, 立在世界之主面前的.

11:5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and consumes their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, in this way he must be killed.
若有人想要害他们, 就有火从他们口中出来, 烧灭仇敌. 凡想要害他们的都必这样被杀.

11:6 These have the authority to shut the sky, so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters, to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with every plague as often as they wish.
这二人有权柄, 在他们传道的日子叫天闭塞不下雨; 又有权柄叫水变为血, 并且能随时随意用各样的灾殃攻击世界.

11:7 And when they have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will make war with them and will conquer them and will kill them.
他们作完见证的时候, 那从无底坑里上来的兽必与他们交战, 并且得胜, 把他们杀了.

11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is called symbolically Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
他们的尸首就倒在大城里的街上; 这城按著灵意叫所多玛, 又叫埃及, 就是他们的主钉十字架之处.

11:9 And those from peoples and tribes and languages and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and they will not allow their dead bodies to be placed in a tomb.
从各民,各族,各方,各国中, 有人观看他们的尸首三天半, 又不许把尸首放在坟墓里.

11:10 And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them, and will celebrate and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who live on the earth.
住在地上的人就为他们欢喜快乐, 互相餽送礼物, 因这两位先知曾叫住在地上的人受痛苦.

11:11 And after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
过了这三天半, 有生气从神那里进入他们里面, 他们就站起来; 看见他们的人甚是害怕.

11:12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here,” and they went up into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.
两位先知听见有大声音从天上来, 对他们说: “上到这里来. ”他们就驾着云上了天, 他们的仇敌也看见了.

11:13 And at that hour a great earthquake took place, and a tenth of the city collapsed, and seven thousand people were killed by the earthquake, and the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
正在那时候, 地大震动, 城就倒塌了十分之一, 因地震而死的有七千人; 其余的都恐惧, 归荣耀给天上的神.

11:14 The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly!
第二样灾祸过去, 第三样灾祸快到了.

11:15 And the seventh angel blew the trumpet, and there was a loud voice in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”
第七位天使吹号, 天上就有大声音说: 世上的国成了我主和主基督的国; 他要作王, 直到永永远远.

11:16 And the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God fell down on their faces and worshiped God,
在神面前, 坐在自己位上的二十四位长老, 就面伏于地, 敬拜神,

11:17 saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God All-Powerful, the one who is and the one who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
说: 昔在,今在的主神─全能者啊, 我们感谢你! 因你执掌大权作王了.

11:18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to give their reward to your slaves the prophets and to the saints and to the ones who fear your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
外邦发怒, 你的忿怒也临到了; 审判死人的时候也到了. 你的仆人众先知和众圣徒, 凡敬畏你名的人, 连大带小得赏赐的时候也到了. 你败坏那些败坏世界之人的时候也就到了.

11:19 And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant appeared in his temple, and there were lightnings and sounds and thunders and an earthquake and large hail.
当时, 神天上的殿开了, 在他殿中现出他的约柜. 随后有闪电,声音,雷轰,地震,大雹.

Revelation of John - Chapter 12

12:1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,
天上现出大异象来: 有一个妇人身披日头, 脚踏月亮, 头戴十二星的冠冕.

12:2 and who was pregnant and was crying out because she was having birth pains, and was in torment to give birth.
她怀了孕, 在生产的艰难中疼痛呼叫.

12:3 And another sign appeared in heaven, and behold, a great fiery red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven royal headbands.
天上又现出异象来: 有一条大红龙, 七头十角; 七头上戴着七个冠冕.

12:4 And his tail swept away a third of the stars from heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, in order that whenever she gave birth to her child he could devour it.
牠的尾巴拖拉着天上星辰的三分之一, 摔在地上. 龙就站在那将要生产的妇人面前, 等她生产之后, 要吞吃她的孩子.

12:5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is going to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod, and her child was snatched away to God and to his throne.
妇人生了一个男孩子, 是将来要用铁杖辖管(辖管: 原文是牧)万国的; 她的孩子被提到神宝座那里去了.

12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared there by God, so that they could feed her there for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
妇人就逃到旷野, 在那里有神给她预备的地方, 使她被养活一千二百六十天.

12:7 And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
在天上就有了争战. 米迦勒同他的使者与龙争战, 龙也同牠的使者去争战,

12:8 And they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven.
并没有得胜, 天上再没有牠们的地方.

12:9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
大龙就是那古蛇, 名叫魔鬼, 又叫撒但, 是迷惑普天下的. 牠被摔在地上, 牠的使者也一同被摔下去.

12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night.
我听见在天上有大声音说: “我神的救恩,能力,国度, 并他基督的权柄, 现在都来到了! 因为那在我们神面前昼夜控告我们弟兄的, 已经被摔下去了.

12:11 And they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives until death.
弟兄胜过牠, 是因羔羊的血和自己所见证的道. 他们虽至于死, 也不爱惜性命.

12:12 Because of this, rejoice, you heavens, and those who live in them! Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great anger, because he knows that he has little time!”
所以, 诸天和住在其中的, 你们都快乐吧! 只是地与海有祸了! 因为魔鬼知道自己的时候不多, 就气忿忿地下到你们那里去了. ”

12:13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
龙见自己被摔在地上, 就逼迫那生男孩子的妇人.

12:14 And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, in order that she could fly into the wilderness, to her place where she is fed there for a time, and times, and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
于是有大鹰的两个翅膀赐给妇人, 叫她能飞到旷野, 到自己的地方, 躲避那蛇; 她在那里被养活一载二载半载.

12:15 And from his mouth the serpent spouted water like a river after the woman, in order that he could make her swept away by a river.
蛇就在妇人身后, 从口中吐出水来, 像河一样, 要将妇人冲去.

12:16 And the earth came to the aid of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had spouted out of his mouth.
地却帮助妇人, 开口吞了从龙口吐出来的水(原文是河).

12:17 And the dragon was angry at the woman, and went away to fight against the rest of her children, those who keep the commandments of God and who hold to the testimony about Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.
龙向妇人发怒, 去与她其余的儿女争战, 这儿女就是那守神诫命,为耶稣作见证的.

Revelation of John - Chapter 13

13:1 And I saw coming up out of the sea a beast that had ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns ten royal headbands, and on its heads a blasphemous name.
我又看见一个兽从海中上来, 有十角七头, 在十角上戴着十个冠冕, 七头上有亵渎的名号.

13:2 And the beast that I saw was similar to a leopard, and its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.
我所看见的兽, 形状像豹, 脚像熊的脚, 口像狮子的口. 那龙将自己的能力,座位, 和大权柄都给了牠.

13:3 And one of its heads appeared as though slaughtered to death, and its fatal wound had been healed. And the whole earth was astonished and followed after the beast.
我看见兽的七头中, 有一个似乎受了死伤, 那死伤却医好了. 全地的人都希奇跟从那兽,

13:4 And they worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him?
又拜那龙─因为牠将自己的权柄给了兽, 也拜兽, 说: “谁能比这兽, 谁能与牠交战呢? ”

13:5 And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority to act was given to him for forty-two months.
又赐给牠说夸大亵渎话的口, 又有权柄赐给牠, 可以任意而行四十二个月.

13:6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies toward God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, those who live in heaven.
兽就开口向神说亵渎的话, 亵渎神的名并他的帐幕, 以及那些住在天上的.

13:7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.
又任凭牠与圣徒争战, 并且得胜; 也把权柄赐给牠, 制伏各族,各民,各方,各国.

13:8 And all those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name is not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.
凡住在地上,名字从创世以来没有记在被杀之羔羊生命册上的人, 都要拜牠.

13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear!
凡有耳的, 就应当听!

13:10 If anyone is going into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, by the sword he is to be killed. Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.
掳掠人的, 必被掳掠; 用刀杀人的, 必被刀杀. 圣徒的忍耐和信心就是在此.

13:11 And I saw another beast coming up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he was speaking like a dragon.
我又看见另有一个兽从地中上来, 有两角如同羊羔, 说话好像龙.

13:12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast on behalf of him, and he causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed.
牠在头一个兽面前, 施行头一个兽所有的权柄, 并且叫地和住在地上的人拜那死伤医好的头一个兽.

13:13 And he performs great signs, so that he even causes fire from heaven to come down to the earth before people.
又行大奇事, 甚至在人面前, 叫火从天降在地上.

13:14 And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that it has been granted to him to perform on behalf of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword and yet lived.
牠因赐给牠权柄在兽面前能行奇事, 就迷惑住在地上的人, 说: “要给那受刀伤还活着的兽作个像. ”

13:15 And it was given to him to put breath into the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast both spoke and caused that all those, unless they worshiped the image of the beast, should be killed.
又有权柄赐给牠, 叫兽像有生气, 并且能说话, 又叫所有不拜兽像的人都被杀害.

13:16 And he causes all people, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that they give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
牠又叫众人, 无论大小,贫富,自主的,为奴的, 都在右手上或是在额上受一个印记.

13:17 and that no one was able to buy or to sell except the one who had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of his name.
除了那受印记,有了兽名或有兽名数目的, 都不得做买卖.

13:18 Here is wisdom: the one who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number, and his number is six hundred sixty-six.
在这里有智慧: 凡有聪明的, 可以算计兽的数目; 因为这是人的数目, 它的数目是六百六十六.

Revelation of John - Chapter 14

14:1 And I looked, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand who had his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
我又观看, 见羔羊站在锡安山, 同他又有十四万四千人, 都有他的名和他父的名写在额上.

14:2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the sound that I heard was like harpists playing on their harps.
我听见从天上有声音, 像众水的声音和大雷的声音, 并且我所听见的好像弹琴的所弹的琴声.

14:3 And they were singing something like a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who had been bought from the earth.
他们在宝座前, 并在四活物和众长老前唱歌, 仿佛是新歌; 除了从地上买来的那十四万四千人以外, 没有人能学这歌.

14:4 These are those who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were bought from humanity as first fruits to God and to the Lamb,
这些人未曾沾染妇女, 他们原是童身. 羔羊无论往哪里去, 他们都跟随他. 他们是从人间买来的, 作初熟的果子归与神和羔羊.

14:5 and in their mouth a lie was not found; they are blameless.
在他们口中察不出谎言来; 他们是没有瑕疵的.

14:6 And I saw another angel flying directly overhead, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who reside on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and language and people,
我又看见另有一位天使飞在空中, 有永远的福音要传给住在地上的人, 就是各国,各族,各方,各民.

14:7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water!”
他大声说: “应当敬畏神, 将荣耀归给他! 因他施行审判的时候已经到了. 应当敬拜那创造天地海和众水泉源的. ”

14:8 And another second angel followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who caused all the nations to drink from the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.”
又有第二位天使接着说: “叫万民喝邪淫,大怒之酒的巴比伦大城倾倒了! 倾倒了! ”

14:9 And another third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
又有第三位天使接着他们, 大声说: “若有人拜兽和兽像, 在额上或在手上受了印记,

14:10 he himself also will drink of the wine of the anger of God that has been mixed full strength in the cup of his wrath, and will be tortured with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
这人也必喝神大怒的酒; 此酒斟在神忿怒的杯中纯一不杂. 他要在圣天使和羔羊面前, 在火与硫磺之中受痛苦.

14:11 And the smoke of their torture went up forever and ever, and those who worshiped the beast and his image did not have rest day and night, along with anyone who received the mark of his name.
他受痛苦的烟往上冒, 直到永永远远. 那些拜兽和兽像, 受牠名之印记的, 昼夜不得安宁. ”

14:12 Here is the patient endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.
圣徒的忍耐就在此; 他们是守神诫命和耶稣真道的.

14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “in order that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow after them.”
我听见从天上有声音说: “你要写下: 从今以后, 在主里面而死的人有福了! ”圣灵说: “是的, 他们息了自己的劳苦, 做工的果效也随着他们. ”

14:14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud was seated one like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
我又观看, 见有一片白云, 云上坐着一位好像人子, 头上戴着金冠冕, 手里拿着快镰刀.

14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud, “Send out your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
又有一位天使从殿中出来, 向那坐在云上的大声喊著说: “伸出你的镰刀来收割; 因为收割的时候已经到了, 地上的庄稼已经熟透了. ”

14:16 And the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
那坐在云上的, 就把镰刀扔在地上, 地上的庄稼就被收割了.

14:17 And another angel came out of the temple that is in heaven; he also had a sharp sickle.
又有一位天使从天上的殿中出来, 他也拿着快镰刀.

14:18 And another angel who had authority over the fire went out from the altar, and he called out with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send out your sharp sickle and harvest the clusters of grapes from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are at their prime!”
又有一位天使从祭坛中出来, 是有权柄管火的, 向拿着快镰刀的大声喊著说: “伸出快镰刀来, 收取地上葡萄树的果子, 因为葡萄熟透了! ”

14:19 And the angel swung his sickle into the earth and harvested the vine of the earth, and threw the grapes into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
那天使就把镰刀扔在地上, 收取了地上的葡萄, 丢在神忿怒的大酒醡中.

14:20 And the winepress was stomped outside the city, and blood went out from the winepress up to the bridles of the horses, about one thousand six hundred stadia.
那酒醡踹在城外, 就有血从酒醡里流出来, 高到马的嚼环, 远有六百里.

Revelation of John - Chapter 15

15:1 And I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having seven plagues that are the last ones, because with them the wrath of God is completed.
我又看见在天上有异象, 大而且奇, 就是七位天使掌管末了的七灾, 因为神的大怒在这七灾中发尽了.

15:2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast and his image and the number of his name were standing by the glassy sea, holding harps from God.
我看见仿佛有玻璃海, 其中有火搀杂. 又看见那些胜了兽和兽的像并牠名字数目的人, 都站在玻璃海上, 拿着神的琴,

15:3 And they were singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God All-Powerful; righteous and true are your ways, King of the ages!
唱神仆人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌, 说: 主神─全能者啊, 你的作为大哉! 奇哉! 万世(或译: 国)之王啊, 你的道途义哉! 诚哉!

15:4 Who would never fear, Lord, and glorify your name? For only you are holy, because all the nations will come and worship before you, because your righteous deeds have been revealed.”
主啊, 谁敢不敬畏你, 不将荣耀归与你的名呢? 因为独有你是圣的. 万民都要来在你面前敬拜, 因你公义的作为已经显出来了.

15:5 And after these things I looked, and the temple, the tent of the testimony in heaven, was opened,
此后, 我看见在天上那存法柜的殿开了.

15:6 and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out from the temple, dressed in clean, bright linen garments, and girded with golden belts around their chests.
那掌管七灾的七位天使从殿中出来, 穿着洁白光明的细麻衣(细麻衣: 有古卷是宝石), 胸间束著金带.

15:7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever,
四活物中有一个把盛满了活到永永远远之神大怒的七个金碗给了那七位天使.

15:8 and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
因神的荣耀和能力, 殿中充满了烟. 于是没有人能以进殿, 直等到那七位天使所降的七灾完毕了.

Revelation of John - Chapter 16

16:1 And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
我听见有大声音从殿中出来, 向那七位天使说: “你们去, 把盛神大怒的七碗倒在地上. ”

16:2 And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and there was an evil and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
第一位天使便去, 把碗倒在地上, 就有恶而且毒的疮生在那些有兽印记,拜兽像的人身上.

16:3 And the second poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood, like that of a dead person, and every living thing that was in the sea died.
第二位天使把碗倒在海里, 海就变成血, 好像死人的血, 海中的活物都死了.

16:4 And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.
第三位天使把碗倒在江河与众水的泉源里, 水就变成血了.

16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, the one who is and the one who was, the Holy One, because you have judged these things,
我听见掌管众水的天使说: 昔在,今在的圣者啊, 你这样判断是公义的;

16:6 because they have poured out the blood of the saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; they are deserving!”
他们曾流圣徒与先知的血, 现在你给他们血喝; 这是他们所该受的.

16:7 And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God All-Powerful, true and righteous are your judgments.”
我又听见祭坛中有声音说: 是的, 主神─全能者啊, 你的判断义哉! 诚哉!

16:8 And the fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was granted to it to burn up people with fire.
第四位天使把碗倒在日头上, 叫日头能用火烤人.

16:9 And people were burned up by the great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has the authority over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory.
人被大热所烤, 就亵渎那有权掌管这些灾的神之名, 并不悔改将荣耀归给神.

16:10 And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened, and they began chewing their tongues because of the pain.
第五位天使把碗倒在兽的座位上, 兽的国就黑暗了. 人因疼痛就咬自己的舌头;

16:11 And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and because of their sores, and they did not repent of their deeds.
又因所受的疼痛, 和生的疮, 就亵渎天上的神, 并不悔改所行的.

16:12 And the sixth poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, in order that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.
第六位天使把碗倒在幼发拉底大河上, 河水就干了, 要给那从日出之地所来的众王预备道路.

16:13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits like frogs.
我又看见三个污秽的灵, 好像青蛙, 从龙口,兽口并假先知的口中出来.

16:14 For they are the spirits of demons performing signs that go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them for the battle of the great day of God the All-Powerful.
他们本是鬼魔的灵, 施行奇事, 出去到普天下众王那里, 叫他们在神全能者的大日聚集争战.

16:15 (Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who is on the alert and who keeps his clothing, so that he does not walk around naked and they see his shamefulness!)
(看哪, 我来像贼一样. 那警醒,看守衣服,免得赤身而行,叫人见他羞耻的有福了! )

16:16 And he gathered them to the place called in Hebrew Armageddon.
那三个鬼魔便叫众王聚集在一处, 希伯来话叫作哈米吉多顿.

16:17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
第七位天使把碗倒在空中, 就有大声音从殿中的宝座上出来, 说: “成了! ”

16:18 And there were lightnings and sounds and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, as has not happened from the time humanity has been on the earth—so great in this way was the earthquake.
又有闪电,声音,雷轰,大地震, 自从地上有人以来, 没有这样大,这样厉害的地震.

16:19 And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of his furious wrath.
那大城裂为三段, 列国的城也都倒塌了; 神也想起巴比伦大城来, 要把那盛自己烈怒的酒杯递给他.

16:20 And every island fled, and mountains were not found.
各海岛都逃避了, 众山也不见了.

16:21 And large hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds, came down from the sky upon people, and the people blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, because the plague of it was very great.
又有大雹子从天落在人身上, 每一个约重一他连得(一他连得约有九十斤). 为这雹子的灾极大, 人就亵渎神.

Revelation of John - Chapter 17

17:1 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters,
拿着七碗的七位天使中, 有一位前来对我说: “你到这里来, 我将坐在众水上的大淫妇所要受的刑罚指给你看.

17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who live on the earth became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
地上的君王与她行淫, 住在地上的人喝醉了她淫乱的酒. ”

17:3 And he carried me away into the wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
我被圣灵感动, 天使带我到旷野去, 我就看见一个女人骑在朱红色的兽上; 那兽有七头十角, 遍体有亵渎的名号.

17:4 And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand full of detestable things and the unclean things of her sexual immorality.
那女人穿着紫色和朱红色的衣服, 用金子,宝石,珍珠为妆饰; 手拿金杯, 杯中盛满了可憎之物, 就是她淫乱的污秽.

17:5 And on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: “Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of the earth.”
在她额上有名写着说: “奥祕哉! 大巴比伦, 作世上的淫妇和一切可憎之物的母. ”

17:6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. And I was greatly astonished when I saw her.
我又看见那女人喝醉了圣徒的血和为耶稣作见证之人的血. 我看见她, 就大大地希奇.

17:7 And the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that has the seven heads and the ten horns that carries her.
天使对我说: “你为甚么希奇呢? 我要将这女人和驮著她的那七头十角兽的奥祕告诉你.

17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is going to come up from the abyss, and he is going to destruction. And those who live on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present.
你所看见的兽, 先前有, 如今没有, 将要从无底坑里上来, 又要归于沉沦. 凡住在地上,名字从创世以来没有记在生命册上的, 见先前有,如今没有,以后再有的兽, 就必希奇.

17:9 Here is the mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits and they are seven kings.
智慧的心在此可以思想. 那七头就是女人所坐的七座山,

17:10 Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and whenever he comes it is necessary for him to remain a short time.
又是七位王; 五位已经倾倒了, 一位还在, 一位还没有来到; 他来的时候, 必须暂时存留.

17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, is also himself an eighth, and is of the seven, and he is going to destruction.
那先前有如今没有的兽, 就是第八位; 他也和那七位同列, 并且归于沉沦.

17:12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
你所看见的那十角就是十王; 他们还没有得国, 但他们一时之间要和兽同得权柄, 与王一样.

17:13 These have one opinion, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
他们同心合意将自己的能力,权柄给那兽.

17:14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
他们与羔羊争战, 羔羊必胜过他们, 因为羔羊是万主之主,万王之王. 同著羔羊的, 就是蒙召,被选,有忠心的, 也必得胜. ”

17:15 And he said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and crowds and nations and languages.
天使又对我说: “你所看见那淫妇坐的众水, 就是多民,多人,多国,多方.

17:16 And the ten horns that you saw and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.
你所看见的那十角与兽必恨这淫妇, 使她冷落赤身, 又要吃她的肉, 用火将她烧尽.

17:17 For God put into their hearts to carry out his purpose and to make a unanimous decision and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
因为神使诸王同心合意, 遵行他的旨意, 把自己的国给那兽, 直等到神的话都应验了.

17:18 And the woman that you saw is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
你所看见的那女人就是管辖地上众王的大城. ”

Revelation of John - Chapter 18

18:1 After these things I saw another angel descending from heaven, who had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
此后, 我看见另有一位有大权柄的天使从天降下, 地就因他的荣耀发光.

18:2 And he cried out with a powerful voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and it has become a dwelling place of demons and a haunt of every unclean spirit and a haunt of every unclean bird and a haunt of every unclean and detested animal.
他大声喊著说: 巴比伦大城倾倒了! 倾倒了! 成了鬼魔的住处和各样污秽之灵的巢穴(或译: 牢狱; 下同), 并各样污秽可憎之雀鸟的巢穴.

18:3 For all the nations have drunk from the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her sensuality.”
因为列国都被她邪淫大怒的酒倾倒了. 地上的君王与她行淫; 地上的客商因她奢华太过就发了财.

18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out from her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins, and so that you will not receive her plagues,
我又听见从天上有声音说: 我的民哪, 你们要从那城出来, 免得与她一同有罪, 受她所受的灾殃;

18:5 because her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
因她的罪恶滔天; 她的不义, 神已经想起来了.

18:6 Pay back to her as she herself also paid out, and pay back double according to her deeds; in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.
她怎样待人, 也要怎样待她, 按她所行的加倍地报应她; 用她调酒的杯加倍地调给她喝.

18:7 As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give to her so much torment and mourning, because in her heart she said, ‘I sit as a queen, and am not a widow, and I will never see mourning!’
她怎样荣耀自己, 怎样奢华, 也当叫她照样痛苦悲哀, 因她心里说: 我坐了皇后的位, 并不是寡妇, 决不至于悲哀.

18:8 Because of this her plagues will come in one day— death and mourning and famine— and she will be burned up with fire, because the Lord God who passes judgment on her is powerful!”
所以在一天之内, 她的灾殃要一齐来到, 就是死亡,悲哀,饥荒. 她又要被火烧尽了, 因为审判她的主神大有能力.

18:9 And the kings of the earth will weep and mourn over her, those who committed sexual immorality and lived sensually with her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
地上的君王, 素来与她行淫,一同奢华的, 看见烧她的烟, 就必为她哭泣哀号.

18:10 standing far off because of the fear of her torment, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon the powerful city, because in one hour your judgment has come!”
因怕她的痛苦, 就远远地站着说: 哀哉! 哀哉! 巴比伦大城, 坚固的城啊, 一时之间你的刑罚就来到了.

18:11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more—
地上的客商也都为她哭泣悲哀, 因为没有人再买他们的货物了;

18:12 cargo of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple cloth and silk and scarlet cloth and all kinds of scented wood and all kinds of ivory goods and all kinds of goods of precious wood and bronze and iron and marble
这货物就是金,银,宝石,珍珠,细麻布,紫色料,绸子,朱红色料,各样香木,各样象牙的器皿,各样极宝贵的木头, 和铜,铁,汉白玉的器皿,

18:13 and cinnamon and amomum and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine wheat flour and wheat and domesticated animals and sheep and horses and carriages and slaves and human lives.
并肉桂,荳蔻,香料,香膏,乳香,酒,油,细面,麦子,牛,羊,车,马, 和奴仆,人口.

18:14 “And the fruit your soul desires has departed from you, and all the luxury and the splendor has perished from you, and they will never find them any more.”
巴比伦哪, 你所贪爱的果子离开了你; 你一切的珍馐美味和华美的物件也从你中间毁灭, 决不能再见了.

18:15 The merchants of these things, who became rich from them, will stand far off, weeping and mourning because of the fear of her torment,
贩卖这些货物,藉著她发了财的客商, 因怕她的痛苦, 就远远地站着哭泣悲哀, 说:

18:16 saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, dressed in fine linen and purple cloth and scarlet cloth, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls,
哀哉! 哀哉! 这大城啊, 素常穿着细麻,紫色,朱红色的衣服, 又用金子,宝石, 和珍珠为妆饰.

18:17 because in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!” And every shipmaster and every seafarer and sailors and all those who labor on the sea stood far off
一时之间, 这么大的富厚就归于无有了. 凡船主和坐船往各处去的, 并众水手, 连所有靠海为业的, 都远远地站着,

18:18 and began to cry out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, “Who is like the great city?”
看见烧她的烟, 就喊著说: “有何城能比这大城呢? ”

18:19 And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, in which all those who had ships on the sea became rich from her prosperity, because in one hour she has been laid waste!”
他们又把尘土撒在头上, 哭泣悲哀, 喊著说: 哀哉! 哀哉! 这大城啊. 凡有船在海中的, 都因她的珍宝成了富足! 她在一时之间就成了荒场!

18:20 Rejoice over her, heaven and the saints and the apostles and the prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment on her!”
天哪, 众圣徒,众使徒,众先知啊, 你们都要因她欢喜, 因为神已经在她身上伸了你们的冤.

18:21 And one powerful angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “In this way Babylon the great city will be thrown down with violence, and will never be found again!
有一位大力的天使举起一块石头, 好像大磨石, 扔在海里, 说: 巴比伦大城也必这样猛力地被扔下去, 决不能再见了.

18:22 And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters will never be heard in you again! And every craftsman of every trade will never be found in you again! And the sound of a mill will never be heard in you again!
弹琴,作乐,吹笛,吹号的声音, 在你中间决不能再听见; 各行手艺人在你中间决不能再遇见; 推磨的声音在你中间决不能再听见;

18:23 And the light of a lamp will never shine in you again! And the sound of a bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again! For your merchants were the most important people of the earth, because with your sorcery they deceived all the nations.
灯光在你中间决不能再照耀; 新郎和新妇的声音, 在你中间决不能再听见. 你的客商原来是地上的尊贵人; 万国也被你的邪术迷惑了.

18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints and all those who had been slaughtered on the earth.
先知和圣徒, 并地上一切被杀之人的血, 都在这城里看见了.

Revelation of John - Chapter 19

19:1 After these things I heard something like the loud sound of a great crowd in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
此后, 我听见好像群众在天上大声说: 哈利路亚(就是要赞美耶和华的意思)! 救恩,荣耀,权能都属乎我们的神!

19:2 because his judgments are true and righteous, because he has passed judgment on the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and has avenged the blood of his slaves shed by her hand!”
他的判断是真实公义的; 因他判断了那用淫行败坏世界的大淫妇, 并且向淫妇讨流仆人血的罪, 给他们伸冤.

19:3 And a second time they said, “Hallelujah!” And her smoke goes up forever and ever.
又说: 哈利路亚! 烧淫妇的烟往上冒, 直到永永远远.

19:4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
那二十四位长老与四活物就俯伏敬拜坐宝座的神, 说: 阿们! 哈利路亚!

19:5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying, “Praise our God all his slaves, and those who fear him, the small and the great!”
有声音从宝座出来说: 神的众仆人哪, 凡敬畏他的, 无论大小, 都要赞美我们的神!

19:6 And I heard something like the sound of a great crowd and something like the sound of many waters and something like the sound of powerful thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord God, the All-Powerful, reigns!
我听见好像群众的声音, 众水的声音, 大雷的声音, 说: 哈利路亚! 因为主─我们的神,全能者作王了.

19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has prepared herself.
我们要欢喜快乐, 将荣耀归给他. 因为, 羔羊婚娶的时候到了; 新妇也自己预备好了,

19:8 And it has been granted to her that she be dressed in bright, clean fine linen (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).
就蒙恩得穿光明洁白的细麻衣. (这细麻衣就是圣徒所行的义. )

19:9 And he said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet of the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
天使吩咐我说: “你要写上: 凡被请赴羔羊之婚筵的有福了! ”又对我说: “这是神真实的话. ”

19:10 And I fell down before his feet to worship him, and he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
我就俯伏在他脚前要拜他. 他说: “千万不可! 我和你, 并你那些为耶稣作见证的弟兄同是作仆人的, 你要敬拜神. ”因为预言中的灵意乃是为耶稣作见证.

19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and the one seated on it was called “Faithful” and “True,” and with justice he judges and makes war.
我观看, 见天开了. 有一匹白马, 骑在马上的称为诚信真实, 他审判, 争战, 都按著公义.

19:12 Now his eyes were a flame of fire, and on his head were many royal headbands having a name written that no one except he himself knows.
他的眼睛如火焰, 他头上戴着许多冠冕; 又有写着的名字, 除了他自己没有人知道.

19:13 And he was dressed in an outer garment dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God.
他穿着溅了血的衣服; 他的名称为神之道.

19:14 And the armies that are in heaven, dressed in clean, white fine linen, were following him on white horses.
在天上的众军骑着白马, 穿着细麻衣, 又白又洁, 跟随他.

19:15 And out of his mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it he could strike the nations. And he will shepherd them with an iron rod, and he stomps the winepress of the wine of the furious wrath of God, the All-Powerful.
有利剑从他口中出来, 可以击杀列国. 他必用铁杖辖管(辖管: 原文是牧)他们, 并要踹全能神烈怒的酒醡.

19:16 And he has a name written on his outer garment and on his thigh: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”
在他衣服和大腿上有名写着说: “万王之王, 万主之主. ”

19:17 And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come! Assemble for the great banquet of God,
我又看见一位天使站在日头中, 向天空所飞的鸟大声喊著说: “你们聚集来赴神的大筵席,

19:18 in order that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of military tribunes, and the flesh of the powerful, and the flesh of horses and those seated on them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, and small and great!”
可以吃君王与将军的肉, 壮士与马和骑马者的肉, 并一切自主的为奴的, 以及大小人民的肉. ”

19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war with the one who is seated on the horse and with his army.
我看见那兽和地上的君王, 并他们的众军都聚集, 要与骑白马的并他的军兵争战.

19:20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs before him, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.
那兽被擒拿; 那在兽面前曾行奇事,迷惑受兽印记和拜兽像之人的假先知, 也与兽同被擒拿. 他们两个就活活地被扔在烧着硫磺的火湖里;

19:21 And the rest were killed by the sword of the one who is seated on the horse—the sword that comes out of his mouth—and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
其余的被骑白马者口中出来的剑杀了; 飞鸟都吃饱了他们的肉.

Revelation of John - Chapter 20

20:1 And I saw an angel descending from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
我又看见一位天使从天降下, 手里拿着无底坑的钥匙和一条大链子.

20:2 And he seized the dragon—the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan—and bound him for a thousand years,
他捉住那龙, 就是古蛇, 又叫魔鬼, 也叫撒但, 把牠捆绑一千年,

20:3 and threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it above him, in order that he could not deceive the nations again until the thousand years are completed. After these things it is necessary for him to be released for a short time.
扔在无底坑里, 将无底坑关闭, 用印封上, 使牠不得再迷惑列国. 等到那一千年完了, 以后必须暂时释放牠.

20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat down on them, and authority to judge was granted to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand, and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
我又看见几个宝座, 也有坐在上面的, 并有审判的权柄赐给他们. 我又看见那些因为给耶稣作见证, 并为神之道被斩者的灵魂, 和那没有拜过兽与兽像, 也没有在额上和手上受过他印记之人的灵魂, 他们都复活了, 与基督一同作王一千年.

20:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.) This is the first resurrection.
这是头一次的复活. (其余的死人还没有复活, 直等那一千年完了. )

20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over this person the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him a thousand years.
在头一次复活有分的有福了, 圣洁了! 第二次的死在他们身上没有权柄. 他们必作神和基督的祭司, 并要与基督一同作王一千年.

20:7 And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison
那一千年完了, 撒但必从监牢里被释放,

20:8 and he will go out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them for battle, whose number is like the sand of the sea.
出来要迷惑地上四方(原文是角)的列国, 就是歌革和玛各, 叫他们聚集争战. 他们的人数多如海沙.

20:9 And they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the fortified camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and consumed them.
他们上来遍满了全地, 围住圣徒的营与蒙爱的城, 就有火从天降下, 烧灭了他们.

20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet also are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
那迷惑他们的魔鬼被扔在硫磺的火湖里, 就是兽和假先知所在的地方. 他们必昼夜受痛苦, 直到永永远远.

20:11 And I saw a great white throne and the one who was seated on it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled, and a place was not found for them.
我又看见一个白色的大宝座与坐在上面的; 从他面前天地都逃避, 再无可见之处了.

20:12 And I saw the dead—the great and the small—standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.
我又看见死了的人, 无论大小, 都站在宝座前. 案卷展开了, 并且另有一卷展开, 就是生命册. 死了的人都凭著这些案卷所记载的, 照他们所行的受审判.

20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each one was judged according to their deeds.
于是海交出其中的死人; 死亡和阴间也交出其中的死人; 他们都照各人所行的受审判.

20:14 And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire.
死亡和阴间也被扔在火湖里; 这火湖就是第二次的死.

20:15 And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
若有人名字没记在生命册上, 他就被扔在火湖里.

Revelation of John - Chapter 21

21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea did not exist any longer.
我又看见一个新天新地; 因为先前的天地已经过去了, 海也不再有了.

21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降, 预备好了, 就如新妇妆饰整齐, 等候丈夫.

21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity, and he will take up residence with them, and they will be his people and God himself will be with them.
我听见有大声音从宝座出来说: “看哪, 神的帐幕在人间. 他要与人同住, 他们要作他的子民. 神要亲自与他们同在, 作他们的神.

21:4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any longer, and mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer. The former things have passed away.”
神要擦去他们一切的眼泪; 不再有死亡, 也不再有悲哀,哭号,疼痛, 因为以前的事都过去了. ”

21:5 And the one seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new!” And he said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”
坐宝座的说: “看哪, 我将一切都更新了! ”又说: “你要写上; 因这些话是可信的, 是真实的. ”

21:6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water from the spring of the water of life freely.
他又对我说: “都成了! 我是阿拉法, 我是俄梅戛; 我是初, 我是终. 我要将生命泉的水白白赐给那口渴的人喝.

21:7 The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
得胜的, 必承受这些为业: 我要作他的神, 他要作我的儿子.

21:8 But as for the cowards and unbelievers and detestable persons and murderers and sexually immoral people and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their share is in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
惟有胆怯的,不信的,可憎的,杀人的,淫乱的,行邪术的,拜偶像的, 和一切说谎话的, 他们的分就在烧着硫磺的火湖里; 这是第二次的死. ”

21:9 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
拿着七个金碗,盛满末后七灾的七位天使中, 有一位来对我说: “你到这里来, 我要将新妇, 就是羔羊的妻, 指给你看. ”

21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
我被圣灵感动, 天使就带我到一座高大的山, 将那由神那里,从天而降的圣城耶路撒冷指示我.

21:11 that has the glory of God. Its radiance is like a precious stone, something like a jasper stone, shining like crystal.
城中有神的荣耀; 城的光辉如同极贵的宝石, 好像碧玉, 明如水晶.

21:12 It has a great and high wall that has twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on the gates which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel—
有高大的墙, 有十二个门, 门上有十二位天使, 门上又写着以色列十二个支派的名字.

21:13 on the east, three gates, and on the north, three gates, and on the south, three gates, and on the west, three gates.
东边有三门, 北边有三门, 南边有三门, 西边有三门.

21:14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
城墙有十二根基, 根基上有羔羊十二使徒的名字.

21:15 And the one who spoke with me was holding a golden measuring rod in order that he could measure the city and its gates and its wall.
对我说话的, 拿着金苇子当尺, 要量那城和城门城墙.

21:16 And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is the same as its width. And he measured the city with the measuring rod at twelve thousand stadia; the length and the width and the height of it are equal.
城是四方的, 长宽一样. 天使用苇子量那城, 共有四千里, 长,宽,高都是一样;

21:17 And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measure, which is the angel’s.
又量了城墙, 按着人的尺寸, 就是天使的尺寸, 共有一百四十四肘.

21:18 And the material of its wall is jasper, and the city is pure gold, similar in appearance to pure glass.
墙是碧玉造的; 城是精金的, 如同明净的玻璃.

21:19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every kind of precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
城墙的根基是用各样宝石修饰的: 第一根基是碧玉; 第二是蓝宝石; 第三是绿玛瑙; 第四是绿宝石;

21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each one of the gates was from a single pearl. And the street of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
十二个门是十二颗珍珠, 每门是一颗珍珠. 城内的街道是精金, 好像明透的玻璃.

21:22 And I did not see a temple in it, for the Lord God All-Powerful is its temple, and the Lamb.
我未见城内有殿, 因主神─全能者和羔羊为城的殿.

21:23 And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon, that they shine on it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
那城内又不用日月光照; 因有神的荣耀光照, 又有羔羊为城的灯.

21:24 And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
列国要在城的光里行走; 地上的君王必将自己的荣耀归与那城.

21:25 And its gates will never be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
城门白昼总不关闭, 在那里原没有黑夜.

21:26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
人必将列国的荣耀,尊贵归与那城.

21:27 And every unclean thing and one who practices detestable things and falsehood will never enter into it, except those who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
凡不洁净的, 并那行可憎与虚谎之事的, 总不得进那城; 只有名字写在羔羊生命册上的才得进去.

Revelation of John - Chapter 22

22:1 And he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb
天使又指示我在城内街道当中一道生命水的河, 明亮如水晶, 从神和羔羊的宝座流出来.

22:2 in the middle of its street, and on both sides of the river is the tree of life, producing twelve fruits—yielding its fruit according to every month—and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
在河这边与那边有生命树, 结十二样(或译: 回)果子, 每月都结果子; 树上的叶子乃为医治万民.

22:3 And there will not be any curse any longer, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his slaves will serve him,
以后再没有咒诅; 在城里有神和羔羊的宝座; 他的仆人都要事奉他,

22:4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
也要见他的面. 他的名字必写在他们的额上.

22:5 And night will not exist any longer, and they will not have need of the light of a lamp and the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give light to them, and they will reign forever and ever.
不再有黑夜; 他们也不用灯光,日光, 因为主神要光照他们. 他们要作王, 直到永永远远.

22:6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true, and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things which must take place in a short time.”
天使又对我说: “这些话是真实可信的. 主就是众先知被感之灵的神, 差遣他的使者, 将那必要快成的事指示他仆人. ”

22:7 “And behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
“看哪, 我必快来! 凡遵守这书上预言的有福了! ”

22:8 And I, John, am the one who heard and who saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed these things to me.
这些事是我－约翰所听见,所看见的; 我既听见,看见了, 就在指示我的天使脚前俯伏要拜他.

22:9 And he said to me, “Do not do that! I am your fellow slave, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
他对我说: “千万不可! 我与你和你的弟兄众先知, 并那些守这书上言语的人, 同是作仆人的. 你要敬拜神. ”

22:10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near!
他又对我说: “不可封了这书上的预言, 因为日期近了.

22:11 The one who does evil, let him do evil still, and the defiled, let him be defiled still, and the righteous, let him practice righteousness still, and the holy, let him be holy still.”
不义的, 叫他仍旧不义; 污秽的, 叫他仍旧污秽; 为义的, 叫他仍旧为义; 圣洁的, 叫他仍旧圣洁. ”

22:12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to repay each one according to what his deeds are!

22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

22:14 Blessed are the ones who wash their robes, so that their authority will be over the tree of life and they may enter into the city through the gates.
那些洗净自己衣服的有福了! 可得权柄能到生命树那里, 也能从门进城.

22:15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral people and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and who practices falsehood.
城外有那些犬类,行邪术的,淫乱的,杀人的,拜偶像的, 并一切喜好说谎言,编造虚谎的.

22:16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
“我─耶稣差遣我的使者为众教会将这些事向你们证明. 我是大卫的根, 又是他的后裔. 我是明亮的晨星. ”

22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the one who hears, let him say, “Come!” And the one who is thirsty, let him come. The one who wants, let him take the water of life freely.
圣灵和新妇都说: “来! ”听见的人也该说: “来! ”口渴的人也当来; 愿意的, 都可以白白取生命的水喝.

22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book.
我向一切听见这书上预言的作见证, 若有人在这预言上加添甚么, 神必将写在这书上的灾祸加在他身上;

22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and from the holy city that are written in this book.
这书上的预言, 若有人删去甚么, 神必从这书上所写的生命树和圣城删去他的分.

22:20 The one who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
证明这事的说: “是了, 我必快来! ”阿们! 主耶稣啊, 我愿你来!

22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
愿主耶稣的恩惠常与众圣徒同在. 阿们!
