路加福音 8
1 以後，耶穌走遍各城各村講道，宣傳天主國的喜訊，同祂在一起的有那十二們徒，
And it came to pass thereafter, that He was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the Kingdom of God, and the Twelve [are] with Him,
2 還有幾個曾附過惡魔或患病而得治好的婦女，有號稱瑪達肋納的瑪利亞，從她身上趕出了七個魔鬼；
and certain women who were healed of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
3 還有約安納，即黑落德的家宰雇撒的妻子，又有蘇撒納；還有別的許多婦女，她們都用自己的財產資助他們。
and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to Him from their substance.
4 那時，有大夥群眾聚集了來，並有從各城來到耶穌跟前的，祂就用比喻說：
And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming to Him, He spoke by an allegory:
5 「有一個撒種子的，出去撒種子；他撒的時候，有的落在路在路旁，就被踐踏了，並有天的飛鳥把它吃了。
“The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 有的落在路在石頭上，一長起來，就乾枯了，因為沒有濕氣。
And other fell on the rock, and having sprung up, it withered, through having no moisture.
7 有的落在荊棘中，荊棘同它一起畏起來，把它窒息了。
And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, choked it.
8 又有的落在好地裏，長起來，結了百倍的果實。」祂說完這些話，就高呼說：「有耳聽的，就聽吧! 」
And other fell on the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling, “He having ears to hear—let him hear.”
9 祂的們徒問祂這比喻有什麼意思。
And His disciples were questioning Him, saying, “What may this allegory be?”
10 祂說：「天主國的奧秘，是給你們知道；對於其餘的人，就用比喻，使那看的，卻看不見，聽的，卻聽不懂。
And He said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in allegories, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 這比喻的意思是：種子是天主的話。
And this is the allegory: the seed is the word of God,
12 那些在路旁的，是指那人聽了，隨後就有鬼來到，從他們心中把那話奪去，使他們不致信從而得救。
and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
13 那在石頭上的，是指那些人，他們聽的時候，高興的接受那話，但這些人沒有根，暫時相信，一到試探的時候，就退避了。
And those on the rock: they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 那落在荊棘中的，是指那些聽了的人，還在中途就被掛慮、錢財及生活的逸樂所蒙蔽，沒有結出成熟的果實。
And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and do not bear to completion.
15 那在好地裏的，是指那些以善良和誠實的心傾聽的人，他們把這話保存起來，以堅忍結出果實。
And that in the good ground: these are they who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
16 沒有人點上燈，用器皿遮蓋住，或放在床底下的，而是放在燈台上，為叫進來的人看見光明。
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a bed; but he puts [it] on a lampstand, that those coming in may see the light,
17 因為沒有隱藏的事，不成為顯露的；沒有秘密的事，不被知道而公開出來的。
for nothing is secret, that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and become visible.
18 所以，你們要留心要怎樣聽；因為凡有的，還要給他，凡沒有的，連他自以為有的，也要從他奪去。」
See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
19 耶穌的母親和兄弟到祂這裏來了，因為人多，不能與祂相會。
And there came to Him His mother and brothers, and they were not able to get to Him because of the multitude,
20 有人告訴祂說：「你的母親和你的兄弟站在在外邊，願意見你。」
and it was told Him, saying, “Your mother and Your brothers stand outside, wishing to see You”;
21 祂卻回答說：「聽了天主的話而實行的，才是我的母親和兄弟。」
and He answering said to them, “My mother and My brothers! They are those who are hearing the word of God, and doing.”
22 有一天，耶穌和們徒上了船，對他們說：「我們渡到湖那去。」他們便開了船。
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He Himself went into a boat with His disciples, and He said to them, “We may go over to the other side of the lake”; and they set forth,
23 正在航行時，他睡著了。忽然有狂風降到湖上，進入船中的水，使他們處於危險中。
and as they are sailing He fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
24 們徒們前來叫醒耶穌，說：「老師! 老師! 我們要喪亡了! 」祂醒起來，叱責了狂風和波浪，風浪就止息平靜了。
And having come near, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish!” And He, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
25 遂對他們說：「你們的信德在那裏? 」他們又害怕又驚奇，彼此說：「這人到底是誰? 因為祂一出命，風和水也都服從祂。」
and He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they being afraid wondered, saying to one another, “Who, then, is this, that He even commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
26 他們航行到革辣撒人的地方，就是加利肋亞的對面。
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes that is opposite Galilee,
27 耶穌一上了岸，迎面來了一個那城中附魔的人，他很久不穿衣服，也不住在家裏，而住在墳墓中。
and He having gone forth on the land, there met Him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and was not clothed with a garment, and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs,
28 他一看見耶穌，就喊叫起來，跪伏在祂在面前大聲說：「至高天主之子耶穌，我與你有什麼相干? 我求你不要磨難我! 」
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before Him, and with a loud voice, said, “What [regards] me and You, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I implore You, may You not afflict me!”
29 因為祂曾命令邪魔從那人身上出去，原來邪魔已多次抓住他，他曾被鐵鏈和腳鐐捆縳起來，被看管著；他卻掙斷鐵鏈，被魔鬼趕到荒野中。
For He commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and shackles—guarded, and breaking apart the bonds he was driven by the demons into the deserts.
30 耶穌問他說：「你叫什麼名字? 」他說：「軍旅。」因為有許多魔鬼進入了他身內。
And Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him,
and he was calling on Him that He may not command them to go away into the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
32 在那裡有一大群豬在山上牧放著，魔鬼就請求耶穌許他們進入那些豬內；耶穌准許了他們。
and there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they were calling on Him that He might permit them to enter into these, and He permitted them,
33 於是，從那人身上出去，進入豬內，那群豬就從山崖上直衝到湖裏淹死了。
and the demons having gone forth from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 放豬的看見發生的事，就逃去，到城裏和鄉間傳報開了。
And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
35 人就出來看那發生的事，來到耶穌前，發現脫離魔鬼的那人，穿著衣服，神智清醒，坐在耶穌跟前前；他們就害怕起來，
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
36 那些見過這事的人就對他們述說：那附魔的人怎樣被治好了。
and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
37 革辣撒所有的人民要尸離開他們，因為他們十分恐懼。祂便上船回去。
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were pressed with great fear, and He having entered into the boat, turned back.
38 脫離魔鬼的那人祈求耶穌：要同耶穌在一起；但耶穌打發他回去，說：
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was imploring of Him to be with Him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 「你回家去吧！傳述天主為你做了何等大事。」
“Return to your house, and tell how God did great things to you”; and he went away through all the city proclaiming how Jesus did great things to him.
40 耶穌回來時，群眾都迎接祂，因為眾人都在等候祂。
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received Him, for they were all looking for Him,
41 來弓一個人，名叫雅依洛，這人是一個會堂長，跪伏在尸腳前，求祂到自己家中去，
and behold, there came a man whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on Him to come to his house,
42 因為他有一個獨生女，約十二歲，快要死了。當耶穌去的時候，眾人都擁擠祂。
because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going away, the multitudes were thronging Him,
43 有一個婦人，十二年來患血漏病，把全部家產都花在醫生身上，卻沒有一個能治好她。
and a woman, being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by any,
44 她來到耶穌後邊摸了摸祂衣服的繸頭，她的血漏立刻就止住了。
having come near behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stood still.
45 耶穌說：「誰摸了我? 」人都否認，伯多祿說：「老師，眾人都在擁擠著你! 」
And Jesus said, “Who [is] it that touched Me?” And all denying, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press You, and throng [You], and You say, Who [is] it that touched Me?”
46 耶穌卻說：「有人摸了我，因為我覺得有能力從我身上出去了。」
And Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power having gone forth from Me.”
47 那婦人看不能隱瞞，就戰戰競競地來跪伏在耶穌跟前，把自己摸祂的緣故和如何立刻病好的事，在眾百姓面前說了出來。
And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before Him, for what cause she touched Him declared to Him before all the people, and how she was healed instantly;
48 耶穌遂對她說：「女兒，妳的信德救了妳，平安去吧! 」
and He said to her, “Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.”
49 祂還在話話時，有人從會堂長家裏來說：「你的女兒死了，不必煩勞師傅了。」
While He is yet speaking, there comes a certain one from the chief of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, “Your daughter has died, do not harass the Teacher”;
50 耶穌聽了，就對他說：「不要害怕，只管信，她必得救。」
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 耶穌到了那家裏，除了伯多祿、若望、雅各伯和女孩子的父母外，不讓任何人同祂進去。
And having come into the house, He permitted no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
52 眾人都在痛哭哀弔女孩子。祂卻說：「不要哭泣，她並沒有死，只是睡著了。」
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and He said, “Do not weep, she did not die, but sleeps”;
53 那些明知她己死的人，都譏笑祂。
and they were deriding Him, knowing that she died;
54 耶穌拿起她的手來，喊說：「女孩，起來! 」
and He having put all forth outside, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, “Child, arise”;
55 她的靈魂回來了，她就立起來了。耶穌吩咐給她吃的。
and her spirit came back, and she arose immediately, and He directed that there be given to her to eat;
56 她的父母驚訝的出神。耶穌卻警告他們不要傳揚這事。
and her parents were amazed, but He charged them to say to no one what had come to pass.
