Mark 11
1 Now as they came to Jerusalem, they were close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, and Jesus sent out two of his disciples
他們將近耶路撒冷，到了貝特法革和伯達尼，在橄欖山那裏時，耶穌就打發兩個門徒，
2 and said to them, “Go into the village opposite us. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
對他們說：「你們往對面的村莊裏去，一進村莊，立時會看見一匹拴著的驢駒，是從來沒有人騎過的；把牠解開牽來。
3 If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you should say, 'The Lord has need of it and will immediately send it back here.'”
若有人對你們說：「你們做什麼﹖你們就說：主要用牠，但是會立刻把牠牽回這裏來。」
4 They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
去了，便見一匹驢駒，拴在門外街道上，就把牠解開。
5 Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
在那裏站著的人，有人對他們說：「你們解開驢駒作什麼﹖」
6 They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
門徒就按照耶穌所吩咐的對他們說了; 那些人遂容許了他們。
7 The two disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it so Jesus could ride it.
他們把驢駒牽到耶穌跟前，把自己的外衣搭在上面，耶穌就騎了上去。
8 Many people spread their garments on the road, and others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
有許多人把自己的外衣，另有些人把從田間砍來的綠樹枝，鋪在路上，
9 Those who went before him and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
前行後隨的都喊著說：「賀三納! 因上主之名而來的，應受讚頌!
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
那要來的我們祖先達味之國，應受讚頌! 賀三納於至高之天!」
11 Then Jesus entered into Jerusalem and went into the temple and looked around at everything. Now, the time being late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
耶穌進了耶路撒冷，到聖殿裏，周圍察看了一切，時辰已晚, 遂同十二門徒出來，往伯達尼去了。
12 The next day, when they returned from Bethany, he was hungry.
第二天，他們從伯達尼出來，耶穌餓了。
13 Seeing from far away a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
他從遠處望見了一棵茂盛的無花果樹，就上前去，看是否在樹上可以找到什麼；及至走到那裏，除了葉子外，什麼也沒有找著，因為還不是無花果的時節。
14 He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
耶穌就開口對它說：「永遠再沒有人吃你的果子了! 」他的門徒也都聽見了。 (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and he entered the temple and began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌一進殿院，就開始把在殿院裏的買賣人趕出去，把錢莊的桌子和賣鴿子的凳子推翻，
16 He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
也不許人帶著器皿由殿院裏經過，
17 He taught them and said, “Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.”
教訓他們說：「經上不是記載：『我的殿宇將稱為萬民的祈禱之所』麼﹖你們竟把它作成了賊窩! 」
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard what he had said, and they looked for a way to kill him. For they feared him because the entire crowd was amazed at his teaching.
司祭長和經師聽了，就設法要怎樣除掉他，卻又害怕他，因為全群眾對他的教訓都驚奇不已。
19 When evening came, they left the city.
到了晚上，他們就出了城。
20 As they walked by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
早晨，他們從那裏經過時，看見那棵無花果樹連根都枯乾了。
21 Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
伯多祿想起來，就對耶穌說：「師傅! 看，你所咒罵的無花果樹已枯乾了。」
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
耶穌回答他們說：「你們對天主當有信德!
23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and cast yourself into the sea,' and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said will happen, that is what God will do.
我實在告訴你們：無論誰對這座山說：起來，投到海裏去! 他心裏若不懷疑，反相信他說的必成就，就必給他成就。
24 Therefore I say to you: Everything you pray and ask for, believe that you received it, and it will be yours.
因此，我告訴你們：你們祈禱，不論求矢麼，祇要你們相信必得，必給你們成就。
25 When you stand and pray, you must forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.”
當你們立著祈禱時，若你們有什麼怨人的事，就寬恕罷! [
好叫你們在天之父, 也寬恕你們的過犯。」]
27 They came to Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.
他們又來到耶路撒冷。當耶穌在殿裏徘徊時，司祭長、經師和長老來到他跟前，
28 They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you the authority to do them?”
對他說：「你憑什麼權柄作這些事﹖或者，是誰給了你權柄作這些事﹖」
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Tell me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
耶穌對他們說：「我也要問你們一句話，你們回答我，我就告訴你們：我憑什麼權柄作這些事。
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
若翰的洗禮是從天上來的，還是從人來的﹖答覆我罷!」
31 They discussed between themselves and argued and said, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
他們心中思量說：「若我們說：是從天上來的，他就要說：那麼你們為什麼不信他﹖
32 But if we say, 'From men,' ... .” They were afraid of the people, for everyone was convinced that John was a prophet.
但我們怎敢說：是從人來的呢﹖」──他們是害怕民眾，因為眾人都以若翰實在是一位先知。
33 Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
他們便回答耶穌說：「我們不知道。」耶穌也對他們說：「我也不告訴你們：我憑什麼權柄作這些事。」
