Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
到清晨，司祭長、長老及經師和全體公議會商討完畢，就把耶穌捆綁了，解送給比拉多。
2 Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
比拉多問說：「他你是猶太人的君王嗎﹖」耶穌回答說：「你說的是。」
3 Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
司祭長控告他許多事；
4 So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
比拉多又問他說：「你看，他們控告你這麼多的事，你什麼都不回答嗎﹖」
5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
耶穌仍沒有回答什麼，以致比拉多大為驚異。
6 It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
每逢節日，總督慣常釋放一個他們所要求的囚犯。
7 [At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
當時有一個名叫巴辣巴的，他是與那些在暴動中殺人的暴徒一同被囚的。
8 A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
群眾上去，要求照常給他們辦理。
9 Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
比拉多回答他們說：「你們願意我給你們釋放猶太人的君王嗎﹖」
10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
他原知道司祭長是由於嫉妒才把耶穌解送來的。
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
但是，司祭長卻煽動群眾，寧要給他們釋放巴辣巴。
12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
比拉多又向他們說：「那麼，對你們所稱的猶太君王，我可怎麼辦呢﹖」
13 Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
他們又喊說：「釘他在十字架上!」
14 Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
比拉多對他們說：「他作了什麼惡事﹖」他們越發喊說：「釘他在十字架上!」
15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
比拉多願意滿足群眾，就給他們釋放了巴辣巴，把耶穌鞭打後，交給他們，釘在十字架上。
16 The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
兵士把耶穌帶到庭院裏面，即總督府內，把全隊叫齊，
17 [After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
給耶穌穿上紫紅袍，編了一個茨冠給他戴上，
18 Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
開始向他致敬說：「猶太人的君王，萬歲!」
19 They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
然後用一根蘆葦敲他的頭，向他吐唾沫，屈膝朝拜他。
20 When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
他們戲弄了耶穌之後，就給他脫去紫紅袍，給他穿上自己的衣服，然後帶他出去，把他釘在十字架上。
21 [After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
有一個基勒乃人西滿，是亞歷山大和魯富的父親，他從田間來，正路過那裏，他們就強迫他背耶穌的十字架。
22 They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
他們將耶穌帶到哥耳哥達的地方，解說「髑髏」的地方，
23 Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
就拿沒藥調和的酒給他喝，耶穌卻沒有接受。
24 [Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
他們就將他釘在十字架上，並把他的衣服分開，拈鬮，看誰得什麼。
25 It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
他們把耶穌釘在十字架上時，正是第三時辰。
26 They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
他的罪狀牌上寫的是：「猶太人的君王。」
27 They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
與他一起還釘了兩個強盜：一個在他右邊，一個在他左邊。
[這就應驗了經上所說的：『他被列於叛逆之中。』]
29 The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
路過的人都侮辱，他搖著頭說：「哇! 你這拆毀聖殿，三內重建起來的，
30 [If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
你從十字架上下來，救你自己罷! 」
31 The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
同樣，司祭長與經師也譏笑他，彼此說：「他救了別人，卻救不了自己!
32 He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
默西亞，以色列的君王! 現在從十字架上下來罷，叫我們看了好相信!」連與他一起釘在十字架上的人也辱罵他。
33 At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
到了第六時辰，遍地昏黑，直到第九時辰。
34 At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
在第九時辰，耶穌大聲呼號說：「厄羅依，厄羅依，肋瑪，撒巴黑塔尼﹖」意思是：「我的天主，我的天主，你為什麼捨棄了我﹖」
35 When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
旁邊站著的人中有的聽見了，就說：「看，他呼喚厄里亞呢!」
36 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
有一個人就跑過去，把海綿浸滿了醋，綁在蘆葦上，遞給他喝，說：「等一等，我們看，是否厄里亞來將他卸下。」
37 And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
耶穌大喊一聲，就斷了氣。
38 [At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
聖所裏的帳幔，從上到下，分裂為二。
39 The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
對面站著的百夫長，看見耶穌這樣斷了氣，就說：「這人真是天主子!」
40 There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
還有些婦女從遠處觀望，其中有瑪利亞瑪達肋納，次雅各伯和若瑟的母親瑪利亞及撒羅默。
她們當耶穌在加利肋亞時，就跟隨了他，服事他；還有許多別的與耶穌同上耶路撒冷來的婦女。
42 When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
到了傍晚，因為是預備，日就是安息日的前一天，
來了一個阿黎瑪特雅人若瑟，他是一位顯貴的議員，也是期待天國的人。他大膽地進見比拉多，要求耶穌的遺體。
44 Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
比拉多驚異耶穌已經死了，遂叫百夫長來，問他耶穌是否已死。
45 When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
既從百夫長口中得了實情，就把屍體賜給了若瑟。
46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
若瑟買了殮布，把耶穌卸下來，用殮布裹好，把他安放在巖石中鑿成的墳墓裏；然後把一塊石頭滾到墳墓門口。
47 Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
那時，瑪利亞瑪達肋納和若瑟的母親瑪利亞，留心觀看安放耶穌的地方。
