Luke 8
1 Soon afterward Jesus was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. 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 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary (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 Joanna the wife of Chuza (Herod's steward), Susanna, and many others. These women provided for Jesus and his disciples out of their own resources.
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 As a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he said in 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. As he sowed, some seed fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky 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 Other seed fell on rock, and as it grew up, it withered away 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 Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
有的落在荊棘中，荊棘同它一起畏起來，把它窒息了。
8 But other seed fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundred times more than what was sown.” As he said this, 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, “What does this parable mean?”
祂的們徒問祂這比喻有什麼意思。
10 He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but 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 this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
這比喻的意思是：種子是天主的話。
12 The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
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 The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. Yet they have no root; they believe for a while, but in a time of testing they 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 The seed that fell among the thorns are those who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
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 the seed in the good soil are those who hear the word, hold fast to it with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
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 “No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its 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 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will not be made known and come to light.
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 Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but 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 Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they were not able to reach 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 So some people told him, “Yoʋr mother and yoʋr brothers are standing outside, wanting to see yoʋ.”
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 he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and obey 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 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set 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 and as they were sailing along, he fell asleep. Then a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were in danger as the boat was being swamped by the waves.
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 to Jesus and woke him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then he rose and rebuked the wind and the raging water. They ceased, and all was 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 Then he said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that 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 region of the Gadarenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
他們航行到革辣撒人的地方，就是加利肋亞的對面。
27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a man from the city who had been possessed by demons for a long time. This man did not wear clothes or 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 cried out, fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, “What do yoʋ have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg yoʋ, do not 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 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and he would be bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, but he would break the chains and be driven by the demon into desolate 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 Jesus then asked him, “What is yoʋr name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered 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 there was a herd of many pigs feeding there on the mountain. The demons begged Jesus to permit them to enter the pigs. 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 came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were 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 When those who had been feeding the pigs saw what happened, they ran off and reported it in the city 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 the people came out to see what had happened. When they 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 Those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered.
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 entire multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and left.
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 begged to go 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 yoʋr house, and declare all that God has done for yoʋ.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the entire city all that Jesus had done for him.
「你回家去吧！傳述天主為你做了何等大事。」
40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been 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 behold, there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet and begged 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. As Jesus went on his way, the crowds were pressing in on 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 Now there was a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years, and even though she had spent her entire livelihood on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone.
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 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment, and the flow of her blood stopped at once.
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 Then Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied it, Peter and those who were with him said, “Master, the crowds are surrounding yoʋ and pressing against yoʋ, and yet yoʋ 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 touched me, for I know that power has gone 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 When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him, and in the presence of all the people she told him the reason why she had touched him, and how she had been healed at once.
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 Then Jesus said to her, “Take courage, daughter; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ. Go in 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, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house and said to him, “Yoʋr daughter has died; do not trouble 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 when Jesus heard this, he said to him in response, “Do not 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 came to the house, Jesus allowed no one to go in, except Peter, John, James, and the child's father and 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 Meanwhile, all the people were weeping and mourning for her, but Jesus 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 And they began laughing at him, knowing that she was dead.
那些明知她己死的人，都譏笑祂。
54 But Jesus put them all outside, took hold of the girl's hand, and called out, “Child, arise!”
耶穌拿起她的手來，喊說：「女孩，起來! 」
55 Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then he told them to give her 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 amazed, but he ordered them not to tell anyone 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。
