Mark 12
1 And he began to be speaking unto them, in parables, —A man planted, a vineyard, and put round it a wall, and digged a wine-vat, and built a tower, —and let it out to husbandmen; and left home.
穌開始用比喻對他們說：「有一個人培植了一個葡萄園，周圍圍上了籬笆，掘了一個搾酒池，築了一座守望台，把它租給園戶，就離開了本國。
2 And he sent forth, unto the husbandmen, in the season, a servant, that, from the husbandmen, he might receive of the fruits of the vineyard;
到了時節，他便打發一個僕人到園戶那裏，向園戶收取園中的果實；
3 and, taking him, they beat him, and sent him away, empty.
園戶卻抓住，他打了他，放他空手回去。
4 And, again, sent he forth unto them, another servant; and, him, they smote on the head, and dishonoured.
主人又打發別的一個僕人到他們那裏去；他們打傷了他的頭，並且凌辱了他。
5 And another sent he forth; and, him, they slew. And many others; some, indeed beating, and, others, slaying.
主人又打發另一個，他們把他殺了；後又打發好些僕人去：有的他們打了，有的他們殺了。
6 Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying—They will pay deference unto my son!
主人還有一個，即他的愛子；最後就打發他到他們那去，說：他們必會敬重我的兒子。
7 But, those husbandmen, unto themselves, said—This, is the heir: Come! let us slay him, and, ours, shall be, the inheritance.
那些圍戶卻彼此說：這是繼承人，來! 我們殺掉他，將來產業就歸我們了。
8 And, taking, they slew him, and cast him forth outside the vineyard.
於是，抓住他殺了，把他拋在葡萄園外。
9 What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come, and destroy the husbandmen, and let the vineyard unto others.
那麼，葡萄園的主人要怎樣處置呢﹖他必來除滅這些園戶，將葡萄園另租給別人。
10 Have ye not, this scripture, read—A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become head of the corner!
你們沒有讀過這段經文嗎﹖『匠人棄而不用的石頭，反而成了屋角的基石：
11 From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes?
那是上主的所作所為，在我們眼中神妙莫測。』
12 And they were seeking, to secure, him, —and were in fear of the multitude; for they perceived that, against them, the parable he had spoken. And, leaving him, they departed.
他們明白這比喻是指他們說的，就想逮住他；但害怕群眾，於是，離開他走了。
13 And they send forth unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might, catch, him, in discourse.
後來，他們派了幾法利賽人和黑落德黨人到耶穌那裏，要用言論來陷害他。
14 And, coming, they say unto him—Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men; but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach: —Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?
他們來對他說：「師傅! 我們知道你是真誠的，不顧忌何人，因為你不看人的情面，祇按真理教授天主的道路。給凱撒納丁稅，可以不可以﹖我們該不該納﹖」
15 But, he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them—Why are ye, tempting, me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.
耶穌識破了他們的虛偽，便對他們說：「你們為什麼試探我﹖拿一個『德納』來給我看看!」
16 And, they, brought one. And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image, and the inscription? And, they, said unto him—Caesar’s.
他們拿了來。耶穌就問他們說：「這肖像和字號是誰的﹖」他們答說：「凱撒的。」
17 And, Jesus, said—the things of Caesar, render, unto Caesar, and, the things of God, unto God. And they were marvelling at him.
耶穌就對他們說：「凱撒的就應歸還凱撒，天主的就應歸還天主。」他們對他非常驚異。
18 And there come Sadducees unto him, —who, indeed say—Resurrection, there is none! and they were questioning him, saying—
否認復活的撒杜塞人來到耶穌跟前，問他說：「
19 Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, that—If one’s brother die, and leave behind a wife, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
師傅! 梅瑟曾給我們寫說：如果一個人的哥哥死了，撇下妻子而沒留下孩子，他的弟弟就應娶他的妻子，給他哥哥立嗣。
20 Seven brethren, there were: and, the first, took a wife, and, dying, left no seed, —
曾有兄弟七人，第一個娶了妻，沒有留下子嗣就死了。
21 And, the second, took her, and died, not leaving behind seed, —and, the third, likewise, —
第二個娶了她，也沒有留下子嗣就死了；第三個也是這樣。
22 And, the seven, left no seed; last of all, the woman also, died: —
那七個都沒有留下子嗣；末了，那婦人也死了。
23 In the resurrection, —of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife.
在復活時，他們復以後，她將是他們中那一個人的妻子﹖因為七個人都娶過她為妻。」
24 Jesus said unto them—Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
耶穌對他們說：「你們豈不是因為沒有明瞭經書，也沒有明瞭天主的能力，而錯誤了嗎﹖
25 For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens.
因為人從死者中活後，也不娶，也不嫁，就像天上的天使一樣。
26 But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, —Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying—I [am] the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: —
關於死人復活的事，在梅瑟書上荊棘篇中，你們沒有讀過，天主怎樣對他說的嗎﹖他說：『我是亞巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主, 和雅各伯的天主。』
27 He is not a God of, dead, men, but of, living. Greatly, are ye deceiving yourselves.
他不是死人的，而是活人的天主，所以你們大錯了! 」
28 And one of the Scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing, seeing that, well, he had answered them, began to question him—Which is the chief commandment of all?
有一個經師聽見了他們辯論，覺得耶穌對他們回答得好，便上前來, 問他說：「一切誡命中，那一條是第一條呢﹖」
29 Jesus answered—The chief is: Hear! O Israel, —The Lord our God, is, one Lord;
耶穌回答說：「第一條是：『以色列! 你要聽! 上主我們的天主是唯一的天主。
30 Therefore shalt thou love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, —and with all thy mind; and with all thy strength.
你應當全心、全靈、全意、全力愛上主，你的天主。』
31 The second, is, this—Thou shalt love, thy neighbour, as thyself. Greater than these, other commandment, is there none.
第二條是：『你應當愛近人如你自己。』再沒有別的誡命比這兩條更大的了。」
32 The Scribe said unto him—Well, Teacher! in truth, hast thou said—He is, One, and there is none other, than he;
那經師對耶穌說：「不錯，師傅說得實在對：他是唯一的，除他以外，再沒有別的：
33 And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding, —and with all the might; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
應以全心、全意、全力愛他，並愛近人如自己，遠超過一切全燔祭和犧牲。」
34 And, Jesus, seeing him, that, with intelligence he answered, said unto him—Not far, [art thou] from the kingdom of God! And, no one, any longer, was daring to, question, him.
耶穌見他回答得明智，便對他說：「你離天主的國不遠了。」從此，沒有人敢再問他。
35 And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple—How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David?
耶穌在聖殿教訓人時，說道：「經師們怎麼說默西亞是達味之子呢﹖
36 David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, —The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.
達味自己因著聖神的感動說過說：『上主對吾主說：你坐在我右邊，等我把你的仇人放在你的腳下。』
37 David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own son? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.
達味自己既稱他為主，他怎麼又是達味之子呢﹖」大批群眾都喜歡聽他。
38 And, in his teaching, he was saying—Beware of the Scribes, who desire, in robes, to be walking about, and salutations in the markets,
耶穌在教訓中又說：「你們要謹防經師：他們喜歡穿上長袍遊行，在街市上受人請安，
39 And first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
在會堂裏坐上坐，在筵席上坐首席；
40 Who devour widows’ houses, and, for a pretence, are long in prayer: these, shall receive a more surpassing judgment.
他們吞沒了寡婦的家產，而以長久的祈禱作掩飾：這些人必要遭受更嚴重的處罰。」
41 And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much.
耶穌面對銀庫坐著，看眾人怎樣向銀庫裏投錢，有許多富人投了很多。
42 And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing.
那時，來了一個窮寡婦，投了兩個小錢，即一文銅錢的四分之一。
43 And, calling near his disciples, he said to them—Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury;
耶穌便叫他的門徒過來，對他們說：「我實在告訴你們：這個窮寡婦比所有向銀庫裏投錢的人，投得更多，
44 For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, —the whole of her living.
因為眾人都拿他們所餘的來投；但這寡婦卻由自己的不足中，把所有的一切，全部的生活費，都投上了。」
