Luke 8 (CMNSWCB)

1不久以后，耶稣周游各城各村，传讲并宣扬上帝国的福音。十二使徒和祂同去，Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,

2还有几个曾经得医治脱离邪灵和疾病的妇女：称为抹大拉的马利亚，曾有七个鬼从她身上出来；as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

3又有希律家宰苦撒的妻子约亚拿，苏撒拿，以及许多别的妇女；她们都用自己的财物供给他们。Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.

4有一大群人聚集，又有人从各城来到祂那里，祂就用比喻说：While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

5“有一个撒种的人出去撒种。撒的时候，有的落在路旁，被人践踏，天上的飞鸟又把它吃尽了。“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

6有的落在磐石上，一长出来就枯干了，因为没有水分。Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.

7有的落在荆棘里，荆棘一同生长，把它挤住了。Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.

8又有的落在好土里，长起来，结出百倍的果实。” 祂说了这些话，就高声说：“有耳可听的，就应当听！”Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9门徒问祂：“这比喻是什么意思？”Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.

10祂说：“上帝国的奥秘，只给你们知道；至于其余的人，就用比喻，使他们‘看也看不见，听也听不明白。’He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11“这比喻是这样：种子就是上帝的话。Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

12那些在路旁的，是听见的人；随后魔鬼来，从他们心里把道夺去，免得他们相信而得救。The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

13那些在磐石上的，是人听见道，就欢喜领受；但这些人没有根，不过暂时相信，遇见试探的时候就退去了。The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.

14落在荆棘里的，是那些听见了道，后来在前行中被生活的忧虑、财富和享乐挤住，结不出成熟的果实。The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

15落在好土里的，是那些以诚实善良的心听了道，就紧紧持守，并且凭着忍耐结出果实的人。But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16“没有人点了灯，又用器皿盖住，或放在床底下；总是放在灯台上，使进来的人看见亮光。No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17因为没有什么隐藏的事不被显明，也没有什么秘密的事不被人知道、显露出来。For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18所以你们要谨慎自己怎样听。因为凡有的，还要给他；凡没有的，连他自以为有的，也要从他夺去。”Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19耶稣的母亲和兄弟来到祂那里，因为人多，不能近前。Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20有人告诉祂：“你的母亲和你的兄弟站在外面，想要见你。”He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

21耶稣回答他们说：“听上帝的话而遵行的人，就是我的母亲和我的兄弟。”But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

22有一天，耶稣和门徒上了船，祂对他们说：“我们渡到湖那边去吧。” 他们就开了船。One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.

23船行的时候，耶稣睡着了。湖上忽然起了风暴，船进了许多水，非常危险。As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24门徒来叫醒祂，说：“主啊，主啊，我们要丧命了！”祂醒来，斥责风和汹涌的水；风浪就止住，湖面平静了。The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

25祂对他们说：“你们的信心在哪里？” 他们又害怕又惊奇，彼此说：“这到底是谁？祂竟吩咐风和水，连风和水也听从祂。”“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”

26他们到了加大拉人的地方，就是加利利对面。Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

27耶稣上岸的时候，城里有一个被鬼附了很久的人迎面而来。他不穿衣服，也不住在家里，只住在坟墓中。When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

28他看见耶稣，就喊叫，俯伏在祂面前，大声说：“至高上帝的儿子耶稣，我与你有什么相干？求你不要折磨我！”When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

29因为耶稣正吩咐污灵从那人里面出来。原来那污灵屡次抓住他；他虽被人看守，又用铁链和脚镣捆锁，却把锁链挣断，被鬼赶到旷野去。For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

30耶稣问他说：“你叫什么名字？” 他说：“群。”因为有许多鬼进了他里面。“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.

31那些鬼央求耶稣，不要命令它们到无底坑去。And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.

32那里有一大群猪在山上吃食；鬼央求祂准许它们进入猪里，祂就准了它们。There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

33鬼从那人里面出来，进入猪里；那群猪就闯下陡坡，投进湖里淹死了。Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

34放猪的人看见所发生的事，就逃跑了，到城里和乡间去报告。When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.

35众人出来要看所发生的事；他们来到耶稣那里，看见鬼已经离开的那个人坐在耶稣脚前，穿着衣服，神志清醒，就害怕起来。So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

36看见这事的人，把那被鬼附的人怎样得医治告诉了他们。Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

37加大拉周围地区的众人都求耶稣离开他们，因为他们十分惧怕。耶稣就上船回去了。Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.

38鬼已经离开的那人求耶稣，想要跟祂同去；耶稣却打发他回去，说：The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,

39“你回家去，宣告上帝为你做了何等大的事。” 他就走遍全城，传扬耶稣为他做了何等大的事。“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.

40耶稣回来的时候，众人迎接祂，因为他们都在等候祂。When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

41看哪，有一个名叫睚鲁的人来了；他是会堂的主管。他俯伏在耶稣脚前，求祂到他家里去，Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,

42因为他有一个独生女儿，约十二岁，快要死了。耶稣去的时候，众人拥挤祂。because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

43有一个女人，患了十二年血漏，花尽了所有生活费用在医生身上，却没有一个人能医好她。including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

44她从后面来，摸了耶稣衣服的穗子；她的血漏立刻止住了。She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45耶稣说：“摸我的是谁？” 众人都不承认，彼得和同伴说：“主啊，众人拥拥挤挤挨着你，你还说：‘摸我的是谁？’”“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”

46但耶稣说：“有人摸了我，因为我知道有能力从我身上出去。”But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

47那女人见自己不能隐藏，就战战兢兢地来，俯伏在耶稣面前，当着众百姓说明自己为什么摸祂，又怎样立刻得了医治。Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.

48耶稣对她说：“女儿，放心吧。你的信心使你痊愈了；平安地去吧。”“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

49祂还在说话的时候，有人从会堂主管家里来，对他说：“你的女儿已经死了，不要再烦扰老师。”While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

50耶稣听见，就回答他说：“不要怕，只要信，她就必得医治。”But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

51到了那家，除了彼得、约翰、雅各，孩子的父亲和母亲，祂不许任何人进去。When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.

52众人都在为她哭泣哀号，耶稣却说：“不要哭；她不是死了，是睡着了。”Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

53他们知道她已经死了，就讥笑祂。And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

54耶稣却把众人都赶出去，拉着她的手，呼唤说：“孩子，起来！”But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”

55她的灵魂就回来了，她立刻起来。耶稣吩咐给她东西吃。Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.

56她的父母惊奇不已；耶稣嘱咐他们，不要把所发生的事告诉任何人。Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
