< John 6 >

1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
這些事以後,耶穌往加里肋亞海,即提庇黎雅海的對岸去了。
2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
大批群眾,因為看見他在患病者身上所行的神跡,都跟隨著他。
3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
耶穌上了山,和他的門徒一起坐在那裡。
4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
那時,猶太人的慶節,即逾越節,已臨近了。
5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”
耶穌舉目看見大批群眾來到他前,就對斐理伯說:「我們從那裏買餅給這些人吃呢?」
6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
他說這話,是為試探斐理伯;他自己原知道要做什麼。
7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.”
斐理伯回答說: 「就是二百塊「德納」的餅,也不夠每人分得一小塊。」
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,
有一個門徒,即西滿伯多祿的哥哥安德肋說:「
9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?”
這裏有一個兒童,他有五個大麥餅和兩條魚;但是為這麼多的人,這算得什麼?」
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
耶穌說: 「你們叫眾人坐下罷! 」在那地方有許多青草,於是人們便坐下,男人約有五千。
11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
耶穌就拿起餅,祝謝後,分給坐下的人;對於魚也照樣作了;讓眾人任意吃。
12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost.”
他們吃飽以後,耶穌向門徒說: 「把剩下的碎塊收集起來,免得糟蹋了。」
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
他們就把人吃後所剩的五個大麥餅的碎塊,收集起來,裝滿了十二筐。
14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.”
眾人見了耶穌所行的神跡,就說: 「這人確實是那要來到世界上的先知。」
15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
耶穌看出他們要來強迫他,立他為王,就獨自又退避到山裏去了。
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea.
到了晚上,他的門徒下到海邊,
17 They entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
上船要到對岸的葛法翁去。天已黑了,耶穌還沒有有來到他們那裡。
18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
海上因起了大風,便翻騰起來。
19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
當他們搖櫓大約過了二十五或三十「斯塔狄」時,看見耶穌在海面行走,臨近了船,便害怕起來。
20 But he said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
但他卻向他們說: 「是我,不要害怕!」
21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
他們便欣然接他上船,船就立時到了他們所要去的地方。
22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.
第二天,留在海對岸的群眾,看見只有一隻小船留在那裡也知道耶穌沒有同他的門徒一起上船,只有他的門徒走了──
23 However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
然而從提庇黎雅有別的小船來到了,靠近吾主祝謝後,人們吃餅的地方──
24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
當群眾一發覺耶穌和他的門徒都不在那裡時,他們便上了那些小船,往葛法翁找耶穌去了。
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
當群眾在海對岸找著他時,就對他說: 「辣彼,你什麼時候到了這裏?」
26 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
耶穌回答說: 「我實實在在告訴你們: 你們尋找我,並不是因為看到了神跡,而是因為吃餅吃飽了。
27 Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.” (aiōnios g166)
你們不要為那可損壞的食糧勞碌,而要為那存留到永生的食糧勞碌,即人子所要賜給你們的,因為他是天主聖父所印證的。」 (aiōnios g166)
28 They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”
他們問說: 「我們該做什麼,才算做天主的事業呢?」
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
耶穌回答說: 「天主要你們所做的事業,就是要你們信任他所派遣來的。」
30 They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do?
他們又說: 「那麼,你行什麼神跡給我們看,好叫我們信服你呢?你要行什麼事呢?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
我們的祖先在曠野裏吃過「瑪納」,正如經上所記載的:「他從天上賜給了他們食物吃。』
32 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
於是耶穌向他們說: 「我實實在在告訴你們: 並不是梅瑟賜給了你們那從天上來的食糧,而是我父現今賜給你們從天上來的真正的食糧,
33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
因為天主的食糧,是那由天降下,並賜給世界生命的。」
34 They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
他們便說: 「主! 你就把這樣的食糧常常賜給我們罷! 」
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
耶穌回答說:「我就是生命的食糧,到我這裏來的,永不會饑餓;信從我的,總不會渴。
36 But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe.
但是我向你們說過: 你們看見了我,仍然不信。
37 All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
凡父交給我的,必到我這裏來;而到我這裏來的,我必不把他拋棄於外,
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
因為我從天降下,不是為執行我的旨意。
39 This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
派遣我來者的旨意就是:凡他交給我的,叫我連一個也不失掉,而且在末日還要使他復活,
40 This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (aiōnios g166)
因為這是我父的旨意: 凡看見子,並信從子的,必獲得永生;並且在末日,我要使他復活。」 (aiōnios g166)
41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out of heaven.”
猶太人遂對耶穌竊竊私議,因為他說: 我是從天上降下來的食糧。
42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?”
他們說:「這人不是若瑟的兒子耶穌麼? 他的父親和母親,我們豈不是都認識麼? 怎麼他竟說: 我是從天上降下來的呢?」
43 Therefore Jesus answered them, “Don’t murmur among yourselves.
耶穌回答說: 「你們不要彼此竊竊私議!
44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up in the last day.
凡不是派遣我的父所吸引的人,誰也不能到我這裏來,而我在末日要叫他復活。
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me.
在先知書上記載: 『眾人都要蒙天主的訓誨。』凡由父聽教而學習的,必到我這裏來。
46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.
這不是說有人看見過父,只有那從天主來的,才看見過父。
47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
我實實在在告訴你們: 信從的人必得永生。 (aiōnios g166)
48 I am the bread of life.
我是生命的食糧。
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died.
你們的祖先在曠野中吃過「瑪納」,卻死了;
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.
這是從天上降下來的食糧,誰吃了,就不死。
51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (aiōn g165)
我是從天上降下的生活的食糧;誰若吃了這食糧,必要生活直到永遠。」「我所要賜給的食糧,就是我的肉,是為世界的生命而賜給的。」 (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
因此,猶太人彼此爭論說: 「這人怎能把他的肉,賜給我們吃呢?」
53 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.
耶穌向他們說:「我實實在在告訴你們:你們若不吃人子的肉,不喝他的血,在你們內便沒有生命。
54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (aiōnios g166)
誰吃我的肉,並喝我的血,必得永生,在末日,我且要叫他復活, (aiōnios g166)
55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
因為我的肉,是真實的食品;我的血,是真實的飲料。
56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.
誰吃我的肉,並喝我的血,便住在我內,我也住在他內。
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will also live because of me.
就如那生活的父派遣了我,我因父而生活;照樣,那吃我的人,也要因我而生活。
58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.” (aiōn g165)
這是從天上降下來的食糧,不像祖先吃了「瑪納」仍然死了;誰吃這食糧,必要生活直到永遠。」 (aiōn g165)
59 He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
這些話是耶穌在葛法翁會堂教訓人時說的。
60 Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
他的門徒中有許多聽了,便說: 「這話生硬,有誰能聽得下去呢?」
61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
耶穌自佑他的門徒對這話竊竊私議,便向他們說: 「這話使你們起反感嗎?
62 Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
那麼,如果你們看到人子昇到他先前所在的地方去,將怎樣呢?
63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
使生活的是神,肉一無所用;我給你們所講論的話,就是神,就生命。
64 But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.
但你們中間有些人,卻不相信。」原來,耶穌從起頭就知道那些人不信,和誰要出賣他。
65 He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
所以他又說: 「為此,我對你們說過: 除非蒙父恩賜的,誰也不能到我這裏來。」
66 At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
從此,他的門徒中有許多人退去了,不再同他往來。
67 Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
於是耶穌向那十二人說: 「難道你們也願走嗎?」
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
西滿伯多祿回答說: 「主! 惟有你有永生的話,我們去投奔誰呢? (aiōnios g166)
69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
我們相信,而且己知道你是天主的聖者。」
70 Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
耶穌對他們說: 「我不是揀選了你們十二個人嗎?你們中卻有一個是魔鬼。」
71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
他是指依斯加略人西滿的兒子猶達斯說的;因為就是這人,十二人中的一個,將要出賣耶穌。
