Luke 8
1 Now it happened after this that He started going around town by town, village by village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God, and the twelve were with Him;
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，
2 also certain women who had been healed of malignant spirits and infirmities: Mary (the one called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out;
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；
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, an official of Herod; and Susanna, and many others—these were providing for Him from their substance.
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。
4 Now when a large crowd had gathered, with people coming to Him from town after town, He spoke by a parable:
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：
5 “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed some fell along the road, and it got trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
「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。
6 And some fell on the rock ledge, and upon sprouting it withered, because it had no moisture.
有的落在路在石頭上，一長起來，就乾枯了，因為沒有濕氣。
7 And some fell among thorns, and springing up together the thorns choked it.
有的落在荊棘中，荊棘同它一起畏起來，把它窒息了。
8 The rest fell into the good ground, and growing up it produced fruit a hundredfold.” Upon saying these things He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
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! 」
9 Then His disciples asked Him saying, “What does this parable mean?”
祂的們徒問祂這比喻有什麼意思。
10 So He said: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest only in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
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。
11 “Now here is the parable: The seed is the Word of God.
這比喻的意思是：種子是天主的話。
12 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, in order that they not be saved, having believed.
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。
13 Those on the rock ledge are the ones who, whenever they hear, receive the word with joy; yet these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of testing fall away.
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。
14 Now that which fell into the thorns: these are the ones who heard, yet as they go they are choked by cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
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。
15 But that on the good ground: these are the ones who having heard the word with a noble and good heart, hold on to it and produce fruit with perseverance.”
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。
16 Upon saying these things He called out: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear! No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but he sets it on a lamp stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
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。
17 Further, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything concealed that will not be made known and come into the open.
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。
18 So be careful how you hear: Because whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
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。」
19 Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and they could not get near Him because of the crowd.
耶穌的母親和兄弟到祂這裏來了，因為人多，不能與祂相會。
20 And it was told Him by some saying, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
有人告訴祂說：「你的母親和你的兄弟站在在外邊，願意見你。」
21 But in answer He said to them, “My mother and my brothers are these, the ones who hear the word of God and do it!”
祂卻回答說：「聽了天主的話而實行的，才是我的母親和兄弟。」
22 Now it happened on one of those days that He got into a boat with His disciples; and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
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。
23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. A windstorm descended on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in jeopardy.
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。
24 So they came and awakened Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the waves of water—and they stopped, and there was a calm!
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。
25 So He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But being terrified they marveled, saying to each other: “Who can this be? Because He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
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。」
26 Then they sailed to the district of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
他們航行到革辣撒人的地方，就是加利肋亞的對面。
27 Well when He stepped out on the land, a certain man of that town met Him, who had had demons for a long time—he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house, but among the tombs.
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。
28 When he saw Jesus he gave a yell, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment me!”
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! 」
29 because He had commanded the unclean spirit to get out of the man (it had seized him many times—he would be bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard; then bursting the bonds he would be driven by the demon into deserted places).
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。
30 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him).
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。
魔鬼求耶穌，不要命他們到深淵中去。 (Abyssos g12)
32 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the hillside; and they started begging Him that He would allow them to go into those; so He gave them permission.
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。
33 Then the demons exited the man and entered the pigs—and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned!
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。
34 Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
放豬的看見發生的事，就逃去，到城裏和鄉間傳報開了。
35 So they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus; they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
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，
36 Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was healed.
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。
37 Then the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned.
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。
38 Now the man from whom the demons had gone out had started begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
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：
39 “Return to your house and recount how much God has done for you.” So he went his way and proclaimed all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
「你回家去吧！傳述天主為你做了何等大事。」
40 Now it happened, when Jesus returned, that the crowd welcomed Him, because they were all waiting for Him.
耶穌回來時，群眾都迎接祂，因為眾人都在等候祂。
41 And then, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; he fell down at Jesus' feet and started begging Him to come to his house,
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，
42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as He was going, the crowds were pressing against Him.
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。
43 And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any—
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。
44 approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped!
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。
45 So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
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! 」
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me.”
耶穌卻說：「有人摸了我，因為我覺得有能力從我身上出去了。」
47 Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.
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。
48 So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”
耶穌遂對她說：「女兒，妳的信德救了妳，平安去吧! 」
49 While He was still speaking, here came someone from the synagogue ruler's house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don't bother the teacher.”
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。」
50 But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed.”
耶穌聽了，就對他說：「不要害怕，只管信，她必得救。」
51 When He arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
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。
52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”
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。」
53 They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.
那些明知她己死的人，都譏笑祂。
54 So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”
耶穌拿起她的手來，喊說：「女孩，起來! 」
55 Then her spirit returned, and she got right up! And He directed that she be given something to eat.
她的靈魂回來了，她就立起來了。耶穌吩咐給她吃的。
56 Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
她的父母驚訝的出神。耶穌卻警告他們不要傳揚這事。
