< Mark 11 >

1 And, when they are drawing near unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, towards the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, —
一行人向耶路撒冷走去,快走到伯法其和伯大尼的时候,经过橄榄山,耶稣于是派了两个门徒先行一步。
2 and saith unto them—Go your way into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, as ye are entering it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which, no, man, yet, hath sat: loose him, and bring him.
他对他们说:“你们到前面的村子去,走进去会看见一头小驴拴在那里,没有人骑过它,把它解开,牵过来。
3 And, if anyone unto you should say—Why are ye doing this? say—The Lord, of him hath need; and, straightway, he sendeth him off again here.
如果有人问你们在干嘛,你们就说:‘主需要它,很快就会送还。’”
4 And they departed, and found a colt, tied unto a door outside, on the street, —and they are loosing him.
门徒听命去了村子,发现一头小驴拴在门外的街上,于是就把它解开。
5 And, certain of them that were there standing, were saying unto them—What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
站在那里的人问他们:“你们为什么解开它?”
6 and they said unto them as, Jesus, said, —and they let them go.
门徒照着耶稣所述回答他们,那些人就让他们牵走了。
7 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and throw upon him their mantles, —and he took his seat upon him.
门徒把小驴牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在驴身上,耶稣骑了上去。
8 And, many, spread out, their mantles, along the way, and, others, young branches, —cutting them out of the fields.
许多人把衣服铺在路上,还有人从田野里砍了些树枝也铺在路上。
9 And, they who were going before, and they who were following after, were crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed, is he that is coming in the name of the Lord!
人群前后簇拥着他,喊道:“和撒那!祝福那奉主之名前来之人!
10 Blessed, is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!
祝福我父大卫即将降临的王国!祝福最高天堂的救世主!”
11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple, and, looking round on all things, late already being the hour, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.
耶稣进入耶路撒冷后走进圣殿,环顾四周观察一番。天时不早了,他便和十二门徒出城,去往伯大尼。
12 And, on the morrow, when they came forth from Bethany, he hungered;
第二天他们离开伯大尼时,耶稣感到饥饿。
13 and, seeing a fig-tree from afar, having leaves, he came… if, therefore, he should find aught in it, and, coming up to it, nothing, found he, save, leaves; for it was not, the season, of figs.
他看到远处有一棵长满叶子的无花果树,他走过去,看看能否在树上找些果子充饥。但到了树下才发现,除了叶子什么都没有,因为现在还不到无花果生长的季节。
14 And, answering, he said unto it—No more, unto times age-abiding, let anyone of thee, eat fruit. And his disciples were listening. (aiōn g165)
耶稣对树说:“永远也不会有人再吃你的果子了!”他的门徒也听见了。 (aiōn g165)
15 And they come into Jerusalem. And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling and them who were buying in the temple, and, the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them who were selling doves, he overthrew, —
他们返回耶路撒冷,耶稣走进圣殿后,把里面的生意人赶走,推倒兑换钱币的桌子,掀翻卖鸽子小贩的凳子,
16 and was not suffering that anyone should carry a vessel through the temple;
制止了那些拿着物品打算穿过圣殿的人。
17 and was teaching, and saying—Is it not written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the nations? but, ye, have made it, A den of robbers.
随后他向众人解释道:“经文上写着:‘我的殿应被称为祷告之殿。’你们竟把它变成贼窝了。”
18 And the High-priests and the Scribes, heard, it, and began seeking how they might, destroy, him, —for they were fearing him; for, all the multitude, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
祭司长和宗教老师听见这番话,就想找个办法除掉耶稣。却又害怕耶稣,因为民众对他的训导很佩服。
19 And, as soon as it became late, they were going forth outside the city.
夜晚时分,耶稣和师徒去往城外。
20 And, passing by early, they saw the fig-tree, withered from its roots;
第二天清晨,在返回的路上,他们看见那棵无花果树从根处枯萎了。
21 and, put in mind, Peter saith unto him—Rabbi! see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse, is withered.
彼得想起耶稣之前所说,便说:“老师,看,你咒诅的那棵无花果树已经枯萎了。”
22 And, answering, Jesus saith unto them—Have faith in God.
耶稣回答:“相信上帝。
23 Verily, I say unto you—Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be lifted up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that, what he speaketh, cometh to pass, it shall be his.
如果我说,只要你心中没有任何疑问,相信自己所说的一定变成现实,那么任何人都能对这座山说:‘挪到海里吧’,只要他心里不怀疑,就会变成现实。
24 For this cause, I say unto you—All things, whatsoever ye are praying for and asking, believe that ye have received, and they shall be yours.
所以我告诉你们,凡是你们祷告和祈求的事情,只要相信能够得到,就必得到。
25 And, when ye stand praying, forgive, if aught ye have against any, —that, your Father also, who is in the heavens, may forgive you your offences.
在祈祷时,如果有谁得罪了你们,请饶恕他,这样你们的天父也会饶恕你们的罪过。”
27 And they come again into Jerusalem. And, as he is walking in the temple, the High-priests and the Scribes and the Elders come unto him,
他们返回耶路撒冷后,耶稣走进殿内,祭司长、宗教老师和长老来到他面前,
28 and were saying unto him—By what authority, these things, art thou doing? And who to thee hath given this authority that, these things, thou shouldst be doing?
问他:“你做这一切使用了什么权力?谁给你的这个权力?”
29 But, Jesus, said unto them—I will question you, as to one matter, and answer me, —and I will tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing:
耶稣对他们说:“让我问你一个问题,你们若能回答,我就告诉你们谁给了我做这些事的力量。
30 The immersion by John, Of heaven, was it, or, of men? Answer me!
关于约翰的施洗,它来自天上还是人间?你们回答我吧。”
31 And they were deliberating among themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore [then] did ye not believe him?
这些人开始议论:“如果我们说从天上来,他就会说‘那你们为什么不信他?’
32 But, should we say, Of men…, they were in fear of the multitude, for, one and all, were holding John, in very deed, that he was, a prophet.
如果我们说来自人间……”但他们害怕民众,因为众人都认为约翰就是先知。
33 And, making answer unto Jesus, they say—We know not; and Jesus saith unto them—Neither do, I, tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
于是他们回答耶稣:“我们不知道。”耶稣也对他们说: “那我为什么要告诉你们,谁给我权力做这一切呢?”
