路加福音 5
1 耶穌站在革尼撒勒湖邊，眾人擁擠他，要聽上帝的道。
Now it happened, while the people were crowding around Jesus and listening to the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 他見有兩隻船灣在湖邊；打魚的人卻離開船洗網去了。
He saw two boats pulled up by the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3 有一隻船是西門的，耶穌就上去，請他把船撐開，稍微離岸，就坐下，從船上教訓眾人。
Jesus got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put it out in the water a short distance from the land. Then he sat down and taught the people out of the boat.
4 講完了，對西門說：「把船開到水深之處，下網打魚。」
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Take the boat out into the deeper water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 西門說：「夫子，我們整夜勞力，並沒有打着甚麼。但依從你的話，我就下網。」
Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked all night, and caught nothing, but at your word, I will let down the nets.”
6 他們下了網，就圈住許多魚，網險些裂開，
When they had done this, they gathered a very large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
7 便招呼那隻船上的同伴來幫助。他們就來，把魚裝滿了兩隻船，甚至船要沉下去。
So they motioned to their partners in the other boat that they should come and help them. They came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 西門‧彼得看見，就俯伏在耶穌膝前，說：「主啊，離開我，我是個罪人！」
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 他和一切同在的人都驚訝這一網所打的魚。
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken.
10 他的夥伴西庇太的兒子雅各、約翰，也是這樣。耶穌對西門說：「不要怕！從今以後，你要得人了。」
This included James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid, because from now on you will catch men.”
11 他們把兩隻船攏了岸，就撇下所有的，跟從了耶穌。
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
12 有一回，耶穌在一個城裏，有人滿身長了大痲瘋，看見他，就俯伏在地，求他說：「主若肯，必能叫我潔淨了。」
It came about that while he was in one of the cities, a man full of leprosy was there. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
13 耶穌伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」大痲瘋立刻就離了他的身。
Then Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 耶穌囑咐他：「你切不可告訴人，只要去把身體給祭司察看，又要為你得了潔淨，照摩西所吩咐的獻上禮物，對眾人作證據。」
He instructed him to tell no one, but told him, “Go on your way, and show yourself to the priest and offer a sacrifice for your cleansing, according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
15 但耶穌的名聲越發傳揚出去。有極多的人聚集來聽道，也指望醫治他們的病。
But the report about him spread even farther, and large crowds of people came together to hear him teach and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16 耶穌卻退到曠野去禱告。
But he often withdrew into the deserted places and prayed.
17 有一天，耶穌教訓人，有法利賽人和教法師在旁邊坐着；他們是從加利利各鄉村和猶太並耶路撒冷來的。主的能力與耶穌同在，使他能醫治病人。
It came about on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there who had come from many different villages in the regions of Galilee and Judea, and also from the town of Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 有人用褥子抬着一個癱子，要抬進去放在耶穌面前，
Now some men came, carrying on a mat a man that was paralyzed, and they looked for a way to bring him inside in order to lay him down in front of Jesus.
19 卻因人多，尋不出法子抬進去，就上了房頂，從瓦間把他連褥子縋到當中，正在耶穌面前。
They could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, so they went up to the housetop and let the man down through the tiles, on his mat, into the midst of the people, right in front of Jesus.
20 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「你的罪赦了。」
Seeing their faith, Jesus said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 文士和法利賽人就議論說：「這說僭妄話的是誰？除了上帝以外，誰能赦罪呢？」
The scribes and the Pharisees began to question this, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 耶穌知道他們所議論的，就說：「你們心裏議論的是甚麼呢？
But Jesus, perceiving what they were thinking, answered and said to them, “Why are you questioning this in your hearts?
23 或說『你的罪赦了』，或說『你起來行走』，哪一樣容易呢？
Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you' or to say 'Get up and walk?'
24 但要叫你們知道，人子在地上有赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說：「我吩咐你，起來，拿你的褥子回家去吧！」
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—he said to the paralysed man—”I tell you, get up, pick up your mat and go to your house.”
25 那人當眾人面前立刻起來，拿着他所躺臥的褥子回家去，歸榮耀與上帝。
Immediately he got up in front of them and picked up the mat on which he was lying. Then he went away to his house, glorifying God.
26 眾人都驚奇，也歸榮耀與上帝，並且滿心懼怕，說：「我們今日看見非常的事了。」
Everyone was amazed and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
27 這事以後，耶穌出去，看見一個稅吏，名叫利未，坐在稅關上，就對他說：「你跟從我來。」
After these things happened, Jesus went out from there and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax collector's tent. He said to him, “Follow me.”
28 他就撇下所有的，起來，跟從了耶穌。
So Levi got up and followed him, leaving everything behind.
29 利未在自己家裏為耶穌大擺筵席，有許多稅吏和別人與他們一同坐席。
Then Levi gave a big banquet in his house for Jesus. There were many tax collectors there and other people who were reclining at the table and eating with them.
30 法利賽人和文士就向耶穌的門徒發怨言說：「你們為甚麼和稅吏並罪人一同吃喝呢？」
But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and other sinful people?”
31 耶穌對他們說：「無病的人用不着醫生；有病的人才用得着。
Jesus answered them, “People who are well do not need a physician; only those who are sick.
32 我來本不是召義人悔改，乃是召罪人悔改。」
I did not come to call righteous people to repentance, but to call sinners to repentance.”
33 他們說：「約翰的門徒屢次禁食祈禱，法利賽人的門徒也是這樣；惟獨你的門徒又吃又喝。」
They said to him, “The disciples of John often fast and pray, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.”
34 耶穌對他們說：「新郎和陪伴之人同在的時候，豈能叫陪伴之人禁食呢？
Jesus said to them, “Can anyone make the wedding attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is still with them?
35 但日子將到，新郎要離開他們，那日他們就要禁食了。」
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then in those days they will fast.”
36 耶穌又設一個比喻，對他們說：「沒有人把新衣服撕下一塊來補在舊衣服上；若是這樣，就把新的撕破了，並且所撕下來的那塊新的和舊的也不相稱。
Then Jesus also spoke a parable to them. “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to mend an old garment. If he did that, he would tear the new garment, and the piece of cloth from the new garment would not fit with the cloth of the old garment.
37 也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裏；若是這樣，新酒必將皮袋裂開，酒便漏出來，皮袋也就壞了。
No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does that, the new wine would burst the skins, and the wine would be spilled, and the wineskins would be destroyed.
38 但新酒必須裝在新皮袋裏。
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 沒有人喝了陳酒又想喝新的；他總說陳的好。」
No one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, 'The old is better.'”
