路加福音 11
1 一次，耶穌在一個地方祈禱，停止以後，祂的一個門徒對祂說：「主，請教給我們祈禱，如同若翰教給了他的門徒一樣。」
One day Jesus was at a certain place praying, and, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’
2 耶穌給他們說：「你們時要說：父啊! 願你的名被尊為聖，願你的國來臨，
‘When you pray,’ Jesus answered, ‘say – “Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.
3 我們的日用糧，求你天天賜給我們，
Give us each day the bread that we will need;
4 寬免我們的罪過，因為我們自己也寬免所有虧負我們的人；不要讓我們陷入誘惑。」
and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who wrongs us; and take us not into temptation.”’
5 耶穌對他們說：「你們中間誰有一個朋友，半夜去他那裏，給他說：朋友，借給我三個餅罷!
Jesus also said to them, ‘Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say “Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 因為我的朋友行路到了我這裏，我沒有什麼可以款待他。
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer him;”
7 那人從裏面回答說：不要煩擾我了! 門己經關上，我的孩子們同我一起在床上，我不能起來給你。
And suppose that the other should answer from inside “Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything”;
8 我告訴你們：他縱然不為了他是朋友的緣故，而起來給他，也要因他恬不知恥地切求而起來，給他所需要的一切。
I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
9 所以，我告訴你們：你們求，必要給你們；你們找，必要找著；你們敲，必要給你們開門。
‘And so I say to you – Ask, and your prayer will be granted, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
10 因為凡求的，就必得到；找的，就必找到；敲的，就必給他開。
For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.
11 你們中間那有為父親的，兒子向他求餅，反而給他石頭呢﹖或是求魚，反將蛇當魚給他呢﹖
What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
12 或者求雞蛋，反將蝎子給他呢﹖
or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 你們縱然不善，尚且知道把好東西給你們的兒女，何況在天之父，有不更將聖神賜與求他的人嗎﹖」
If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!’
14 耶穌驅逐一個魔鬼──他是使人瘖啞的魔鬼；他出去以後，啞吧便說出話來，群眾都驚訝不止。
Once Jesus was driving out a mute demon, and, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. The people were amazed at this;
15 但是，其中有人說：「他是仗賴魔王貝則步驅魔。」
but some of them said, ‘He drives out demons by the help of Beelzebul, the chief of the demons’;
16 另一些人試探耶穌，向他要求一個自天而來的徵兆。
while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
17 耶穌知道了他們的心意，便給他們說：「凡是一國自相紛爭，必成廢墟，一家一家的敗落。
Jesus himself, however, was aware of what they were thinking, and said to them, ‘Any kingdom wholly divided against itself becomes a desolation; and a divided house falls.
18 如果撒殫自相紛爭，他的國如何能存立呢﹖因為你們說我仗賴貝耳則步驅魔。
So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Beelzebul.
19 如果我仗賴貝耳則步驅，你們的子弟們是仗賴誰驅魔呢﹖為此，他們將是你們的裁判者。
But, if it is by Beelzebul’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they will themselves be your judges.
20 如果我是仗賴天主的手指驅魔，那麼，天主的國已來到你們中間了。
But, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God must already be upon you.
21 幾時壯士配帶武器，看守自己的宅舍，他的財產必能安全。
When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
22 但是，如果有個比他強壯的來戰勝他，必會把他所依仗的一切器械都奪去，而瓜分他的贓物。
but, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
23 不隨同我的，就是反對我；不同我收集的，就是分散。」
Whoever is not with me is against me, and the person who does not help me to gather is scattering.
24 邪魔從人身上出去後，走遍乾旱之地，尋找一個安息之所，卻沒有找著；他於是說：我要回到我出來的那屋裏去。
No sooner does a foul spirit leave someone, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says “I will go back to the home which I left”;
25 他來到後，見裏面已打掃清潔，裝飾整齊，
but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
26 就去，另外帶了七個比自己更惡的魔鬼來，進去，住在那裏；那人末後的處境，比先前就更壞了。」
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that person proves to be worse than the first.’
27 耶穌說這些話的時候，人群中，有一個婦人高聲向他說：「懷過你的胎，及你所吮吸過的乳房，是有福的! 」
As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed, ‘Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!’
28 耶穌卻說：「可是那聲天主的話而遵行的，更是有福的! 」
But Jesus replied, ‘Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s message and keep it.’
29 群眾合攏來的時候，耶穌開始說：「這一世代是一個邪惡的世代：它要求徵兆，除了約納的徵兆外，必不給它任何其他徵兆。
As the crowds increased, Jesus began to speak, ‘This generation is a wicked generation. It is asking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
30 因為，有如約納為尼尼微人是個徵兆，將來人子為這一世代也是這樣的。
For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 南方的女王，在審判時，將同這一世代的人起來，定他們的罪，因為她從地極來，聽撒羅滿的智慧；看，這裏有一位大於撒羅滿的!
At the judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the people of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
32 尼尼微人在審判時，將同這一代的人起來，定他們的罪，因為尼尼微人因了約納的宣講而悔改了；看，這裏有一位大於約納的! 」
At the judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
33 沒有人點燈放在窖中，或置於斗下的，而是放在燈台上，讓進來的人看見光明。
No one lights a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
34 你的眼睛就是身體的燈。幾時你的眼睛純潔，你全身就光明；但如果邪惡，你全身就黑暗。
The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.
35 為此，你要小心，不要叫你內裏的光成了黑暗。
Take care, therefore, that the inner light is not darkness.
36 所以，如果你全身光明，絲毫沒有黑暗之處，一切必要光明，有如燈光照耀你一樣。」
If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.’
37 耶穌正說話的時候，有一個法利賽人請他到自己家中用飯，耶穌進去便入了席。
As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at the table.
38 那個法利賽人一看見，就怪異耶穌飯前不先洗手。
The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
39 但主對他說：「你們法利賽人洗淨杯盤的外面，而你們心中卻滿是劫奪與邪惡。
But the Master said to him, ‘You Pharisees do, it is true, clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are filled with greed and wickedness.
40 糊塗人哪! 那造外面的，不是也造了裏面嗎﹖
Fools! Did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
41 只要把你們杯盤裏面的施捨了，那麼，一切對你們便都潔淨了。
Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
42 但是，禍哉，你們法利賽人! 因為你們把薄荷茴香及各種菜蔬捐獻十分之一，反而將公義及愛天主的義務忽略過去：這些固然該作，那些也不可忽略。
But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.
43 禍哉，你們法利賽人! 因為你們在會堂裏愛坐上座，在街市上愛受人致敬。
Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
44 禍哉，你們! 因為你們就如同不顯露的墳墓，人在上面行走，也不知道。」
Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.’
45 有一個法學士回答耶穌說：「師傅，你說這些話，連我們也悔辱了。」
Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, ‘Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.’
46 耶穌說：「禍哉，你們這些法學士! 因為你們加給人不堪負荷的重擔，而你們自己對重擔連一個指頭也不肯動一下。
But Jesus went on, ‘Alas for you, too, you students of the Law! You load people with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
47 禍哉，你們! 你們修建先知的墳墓，而你們的祖先卻殺害了他們，
Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
48 可見你們證明，並讚成你們祖先所行的事，因為他們殺害了先知，而你們卻修建先知的墳墓。
You are actually witnesses to your ancestors’ acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the prophets, you build tombs for them.
49 為此，天主的智慧曾說過：我將要派遣先知及使者到他們那裏，其中有的，他們要殺死；有的，他們要迫害，
That is why the wisdom of God said – “I will send to them prophets and apostles,
50 為使從創造世界以來，所流眾先知的血，都要向這一代追討，
some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the blood of all the prophets that has been spilt since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation –
51 從亞伯爾的血，到喪亡在祭壇與聖所之間的則加黎雅的血，的確，我告訴你們：都要向這一代追討。
from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the house of God.” Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
52 禍哉，你們法學士! 因為你們拿走了智識的鑰匙，自己不進去，那願意進去的，你們也加以阻止。」
Alas for you students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in.’
53 耶穌從那裏出來以後，經師們同法利賽人開始嚴厲追逼他，盤問他許多的事，
When Jesus left the house, the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely on many subjects,
54 窺伺他，要從他口中抓到語病。
laying traps for him, so as to seize on anything that he might say.
