路加福音 5
1 耶穌站在革尼撒勒湖邊，眾人擁擠他，要聽上帝的道。
On one occasion, Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to listen to the word of God.
2 他見有兩隻船灣在湖邊；打魚的人卻離開船洗網去了。
He saw two boats moored beside the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3 有一隻船是西門的，耶穌就上去，請他把船撐開，稍微離岸，就坐下，從船上教訓眾人。
He got into one of the boats, the one that was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and began teaching the crowds from the boat.
4 講完了，對西門說：「把船開到水深之處，下網打魚。」
When he finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 西門說：「夫子，我們整夜勞力，並沒有打着甚麼。但依從你的話，我就下網。」
Simon answered him, “Master, we have worked hard throughout the entire night and have caught nothing, but at yoʋr word I will let down the net.”
6 他們下了網，就圈住許多魚，網險些裂開，
When he and the men with him did so, they enclosed such a large number of fish that their net began to break.
7 便招呼那隻船上的同伴來幫助。他們就來，把魚裝滿了兩隻船，甚至船要沉下去。
So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and assist them, and they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 西門‧彼得看見，就俯伏在耶穌膝前，說：「主啊，離開我，我是個罪人！」
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
9 他和一切同在的人都驚訝這一網所打的魚。
For he and all who were with him were gripped with astonishment at the catch of fish they had taken,
10 他的夥伴西庇太的兒子雅各、約翰，也是這樣。耶穌對西門說：「不要怕！從今以後，你要得人了。」
including James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's business partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on yoʋ will be catching people.”
11 他們把兩隻船攏了岸，就撇下所有的，跟從了耶穌。
So they brought their boats to shore, left everything, and followed Jesus.
12 有一回，耶穌在一個城裏，有人滿身長了大痲瘋，看見他，就俯伏在地，求他說：「主若肯，必能叫我潔淨了。」
While Jesus was in one of the towns, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When the man saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if yoʋ are willing, yoʋ can make me clean.”
13 耶穌伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」大痲瘋立刻就離了他的身。
So Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 耶穌囑咐他：「你切不可告訴人，只要去把身體給祭司察看，又要為你得了潔淨，照摩西所吩咐的獻上禮物，對眾人作證據。」
Then Jesus ordered him to tell no one, but said, “Go show yoʋrself to the priest, and make an offering for yoʋr cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
15 但耶穌的名聲越發傳揚出去。有極多的人聚集來聽道，也指望醫治他們的病。
But the news about Jesus spread even more, and large crowds would gather together to hear him and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 耶穌卻退到曠野去禱告。
But he would often withdraw to desolate places and pray.
17 有一天，耶穌教訓人，有法利賽人和教法師在旁邊坐着；他們是從加利利各鄉村和猶太並耶路撒冷來的。主的能力與耶穌同在，使他能醫治病人。
On one of those days, as he was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people.
18 有人用褥子抬着一個癱子，要抬進去放在耶穌面前，
And behold, some men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. They were trying to bring him in and place him before Jesus.
19 卻因人多，尋不出法子抬進去，就上了房頂，從瓦間把他連褥子縋到當中，正在耶穌面前。
But when they could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down through the tiles, together with his mat, into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「你的罪赦了。」
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Man, yoʋr sins are forgiven yoʋ.”
21 文士和法利賽人就議論說：「這說僭妄話的是誰？除了上帝以外，誰能赦罪呢？」
But the scribes and the Pharisees began to question what Jesus said: “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 耶穌知道他們所議論的，就說：「你們心裏議論的是甚麼呢？
Aware of their thoughts, Jesus answered them, “Why are you questioning in your hearts?
23 或說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來行走』，哪一樣容易呢？
Which is easier, to say, ‘Yoʋr sins are forgiven yoʋ,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?
24 但要叫你們知道，人子在地上有赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說：「我吩咐你，起來，拿你的褥子回家去吧！」
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralyzed man—“I say to yoʋ, rise, pick up yoʋr mat, and go to yoʋr house.”
25 那人當眾人面前立刻起來，拿着他所躺臥的褥子回家去，歸榮耀與上帝。
Immediately the man rose up before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went to his house, glorifying God.
26 眾人都驚奇，也歸榮耀與上帝，並且滿心懼怕，說：「我們今日看見非常的事了。」
Amazement seized them all, and they too began glorifying God. Filled with awe, they said, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
27 這事以後，耶穌出去，看見一個稅吏，名叫利未，坐在稅關上，就對他說：「你跟從我來。」
After this Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. Jesus said to him, “Follow me,”
28 他就撇下所有的，起來，跟從了耶穌。
and leaving everything behind, Levi rose and followed him.
29 利未在自己家裏為耶穌大擺筵席，有許多稅吏和別人與他們一同坐席。
Then Levi gave a great banquet for Jesus in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at the table with them.
30 法利賽人和文士就向耶穌的門徒發怨言說：「你們為甚麼和稅吏並罪人一同吃喝呢？」
But the scribes of the people and the Pharisees were grumbling at his disciples, saying, “Why are you eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 耶穌對他們說：「無病的人用不着醫生；有病的人才用得着。
Jesus answered them, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.
32 我來本不是召義人悔改，乃是召罪人悔改。」
I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
33 他們說：「約翰的門徒屢次禁食祈禱，法利賽人的門徒也是這樣；惟獨你的門徒又吃又喝。」
Then they said to him, “Why is it that the disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yoʋrs eat and drink?”
34 耶穌對他們說：「新郎和陪伴之人同在的時候，豈能叫陪伴之人禁食呢？
Jesus said to them, “Can you make the bridegroom's attendants fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 但日子將到，新郎要離開他們，那日他們就要禁食了。」
But those days are coming, and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, they will fast in those days.”
36 耶穌又設一個比喻，對他們說：「沒有人把新衣服撕下一塊來補在舊衣服上；若是這樣，就把新的撕破了，並且所撕下來的那塊新的和舊的也不相稱。
He also told them a parable: “No one puts a patch from a new garment on an old garment. For not only would he tear the new garment, but the patch from the new garment would not match the old garment.
37 也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裏；若是這樣，新酒必將皮袋裂開，酒便漏出來，皮袋也就壞了。
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the new wine would burst the wineskins and would itself be spilled, and the wineskins would be ruined.
38 但新酒必須裝在新皮袋裏。
But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and then both are preserved.
39 沒有人喝了陳酒又想喝新的；他總說陳的好。」
And no one after drinking old wine immediately desires new wine, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
