Luke 8
1 And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve [are] with him,
過了不多日，耶穌周遊各城各鄉傳道，宣講上帝國的福音。和他同去的有十二個門徒，
2 and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
還有被惡鬼所附、被疾病所累、已經治好的幾個婦女，內中有稱為抹大拉的馬利亞（曾有七個鬼從她身上趕出來），
3 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.
又有希律的家宰苦撒的妻子約亞拿，並蘇撒拿，和好些別的婦女，都是用自己的財物供給耶穌和門徒。
4 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
當許多人聚集、又有人從各城裏出來見耶穌的時候，耶穌就用比喻說：
5 'The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
「有一個撒種的出去撒種。撒的時候，有落在路旁的，被人踐踏，天上的飛鳥又來吃盡了。
6 'And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
有落在磐石上的，一出來就枯乾了，因為得不着滋潤。
7 'And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.
有落在荊棘裏的，荊棘一同生長，把它擠住了。
8 'And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, 'He having ears to hear — let him hear.'
又有落在好土裏的，生長起來，結實百倍。」耶穌說了這些話，就大聲說：「有耳可聽的，就應當聽！」
9 And his disciples were questioning him, saying, 'What may this simile be?'
門徒問耶穌說：「這比喻是甚麼意思呢？」
10 And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
他說：「上帝國的奧祕只叫你們知道；至於別人，就用比喻，叫他們看也看不見，聽也聽不明。」
11 'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,
「這比喻乃是這樣：種子就是上帝的道。
12 and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
那些在路旁的，就是人聽了道，隨後魔鬼來，從他們心裏把道奪去，恐怕他們信了得救。
13 'And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
那些在磐石上的，就是人聽道，歡喜領受，但心中沒有根，不過暫時相信，及至遇見試煉就退後了。
14 'And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
那落在荊棘裏的，就是人聽了道，走開以後，被今生的思慮、錢財、宴樂擠住了，便結不出成熟的子粒來。
15 'And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
那落在好土裏的，就是人聽了道，持守在誠實善良的心裏，並且忍耐着結實。」
16 'And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,
「沒有人點燈用器皿蓋上，或放在床底下，乃是放在燈臺上，叫進來的人看見亮光。
17 for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.
因為掩藏的事沒有不顯出來的；隱瞞的事沒有不露出來被人知道的。
18 'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'
所以，你們應當小心怎樣聽；因為凡有的，還要加給他；凡沒有的，連他自以為有的，也要奪去。」
19 And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,
耶穌的母親和他弟兄來了，因為人多，不得到他跟前。
20 and it was told him, saying, 'Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'
有人告訴他說：「你母親和你弟兄站在外邊，要見你。」
21 and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
耶穌回答說：「聽了上帝之道而遵行的人就是我的母親，我的弟兄了。」
22 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,
有一天，耶穌和門徒上了船，對門徒說：「我們可以渡到湖那邊去。」他們就開了船。
23 and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
正行的時候，耶穌睡着了。湖上忽然起了暴風，船將滿了水，甚是危險。
24 And having come near, they awoke him, saying, 'Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
門徒來叫醒了他，說：「夫子！夫子！我們喪命啦！」耶穌醒了，斥責那狂風大浪；風浪就止住，平靜了。
25 and he said to them, 'Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'
耶穌對他們說：「你們的信心在哪裏呢？」他們又懼怕又希奇，彼此說：「這到底是誰？他吩咐風和水，連風和水也聽從他了。」
26 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,
他們到了格拉森人的地方，就是加利利的對面。
27 and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,
耶穌上了岸，就有城裏一個被鬼附着的人迎面而來。這個人許久不穿衣服，不住房子，只住在墳塋裏。
28 and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'
他見了耶穌，就俯伏在他面前，大聲喊叫，說：「至高上帝的兒子耶穌，我與你有甚麼相干？求你不要叫我受苦！」
29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters — guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.
是因耶穌曾吩咐污鬼從那人身上出來。原來這鬼屢次抓住他；他常被人看守，又被鐵鍊和腳鐐捆鎖，他竟把鎖鍊掙斷，被鬼趕到曠野去。
30 And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is thy name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him, )
耶穌問他說：「你名叫甚麼？」他說：「我名叫『群』」；這是因為附着他的鬼多。
鬼就央求耶穌，不要吩咐他們到無底坑裏去。 (Abyssos g12)
32 and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,
那裏有一大群豬在山上吃食。鬼央求耶穌，准他們進入豬裏去。耶穌准了他們，
33 and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.
鬼就從那人出來，進入豬裏去。於是那群豬闖下山崖，投在湖裏淹死了。
34 And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
放豬的看見這事就逃跑了，去告訴城裏和鄉下的人。
35 and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
眾人出來要看是甚麼事；到了耶穌那裏，看見鬼所離開的那人，坐在耶穌腳前，穿着衣服，心裏明白過來，他們就害怕。
36 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
看見這事的便將被鬼附着的人怎麼得救告訴他們。
37 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.
格拉森四圍的人，因為害怕得很，都求耶穌離開他們；耶穌就上船回去了。
38 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
鬼所離開的那人懇求和耶穌同在；耶穌卻打發他回去，說：
39 'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.
「你回家去，傳說上帝為你做了何等大的事。」他就去，滿城裏傳揚耶穌為他做了何等大的事。
40 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,
耶穌回來的時候，眾人迎接他，因為他們都等候他。
41 and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;
有一個管會堂的，名叫睚魯，來俯伏在耶穌腳前，求耶穌到他家裏去；
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,
因他有一個獨生女兒，約有十二歲，快要死了。 耶穌去的時候，眾人擁擠他。
43 and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,
有一個女人，患了十二年的血漏，在醫生手裏花盡了她一切養生的，並沒有一人能醫好她。
44 having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.
她來到耶穌背後，摸他的衣裳繸子，血漏立刻就止住了。
45 And Jesus said, 'Who [is] it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!'
耶穌說：「摸我的是誰？」眾人都不承認。彼得和同行的人都說：「夫子，眾人擁擁擠擠緊靠着你。 」
46 And Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'
耶穌說：「總有人摸我，因我覺得有能力從我身上出去。」
47 And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;
那女人知道不能隱藏，就戰戰兢兢地來俯伏在耶穌腳前，把摸他的緣故和怎樣立刻得好了，當着眾人都說出來。
48 and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'
耶穌對她說：「女兒，你的信救了你；平平安安地去吧！」
49 While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's [house], saying to him — 'Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'
還說話的時候，有人從管會堂的家裏來，說：「你的女兒死了，不要勞動夫子。」
50 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, 'Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'
耶穌聽見就對他說：「不要怕，只要信！你的女兒就必得救。」
51 And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
耶穌到了他的家，除了彼得、約翰、雅各，和女兒的父母，不許別人同他進去。
52 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;
眾人都為這女兒哀哭捶胸。耶穌說：「不要哭！她不是死了，是睡着了。」
53 and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;
他們曉得女兒已經死了，就嗤笑耶穌。
54 and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, 'Child, arise;'
耶穌拉着她的手，呼叫說：「女兒，起來吧！」
55 and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;
她的靈魂便回來，她就立刻起來了。耶穌吩咐給她東西吃。
56 and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
她的父母驚奇得很；耶穌囑咐他們，不要把所做的事告訴人。
