| | 1 | 耶稣又用比喻对他们说，
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:
| |
| | 2 | 天国好比一个王，为他儿子摆设娶亲的筵席。
"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
| |
| | 3 | 就打发仆人去请那些被召的人来赴席。他们却不肯来。
He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
| |
| | 4 | 王又打发别的仆人说，你们告诉那被召的人，我的筵席已经预备好了，牛和肥畜已经宰了，各样都齐备。请你们来赴席。
"Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.'
| |
| | 5 | 那些人不理就走了。一个到自己田里去。一个作买卖去。
"But they paid no attention and went off--one to his field, another to his business.
| |
| | 6 | 其余的拿住仆人，凌辱他们，把他们杀了。
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
| |
| | 7 | 王就大怒，发兵除灭那些凶手，烧毁他们的城。
The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
| |
| | 8 | 于是对仆人说，喜筵已经齐备，只是所召的人不配。
"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.
| |
| | 9 | 所以你们要往岔路口上去，凡遇见的，都召来赴席。
Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.'
| |
| | 10 | 那些仆人就出去到大路上，凡遇见的，不论善恶都召聚了来。筵席上就坐满了客。
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
| |
| | 11 | 王进来观看宾客，见那里有一个没有穿礼服的。
"But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
| |
| | 12 | 就对他说，朋友，你到这里来，怎么不穿礼服呢？那人无言可答。
'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless.
| |
| | 13 | 于是王对使唤的人说，捆起他的手脚来，把他丢在外边的黑暗里。在那里必要哀哭切齿了。
"Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
| |
| | 14 | 因为被召的人多，选上的人少。
"For many are invited, but few are chosen."
| |
| | 15 | 当时，法利赛人出去商议，怎样就着耶稣的话陷害他。
Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.
| |
| | 16 | 就打发他们的门徒，同希律党的人，去见耶稣说，夫子，我们知道你是诚实人，并且诚诚实实传神的道，什么人你都不徇情面，因为你不看人的外貌。
They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are.
| |
| | 17 | 请告诉我们，你的意见如何。纳税给该撒，可以不可以。
Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
| |
| | 18 | 耶稣看出他们的恶意，就说，假冒为善的人哪，为什么试探我。
But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?
| |
| | 19 | 拿一个上税的钱给我看。他们就拿一个银钱来给他。
Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius,
| |
| | 20 | 耶稣说，这像和这号是谁的。
and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
| |
| | 21 | 他们说，是该撒的。耶稣说，这样，该撒的物当归给该撒，神的物当归给神。
"Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
| |
| | 22 | 他们听见就希奇，离开他走了。
When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
| |
| | 23 | 撒都该人常说没有复活的事。那天，他们来问耶稣说，
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
| |
| | 24 | 夫子，摩西说，人若死了，没有孩子，他兄弟当娶他的妻，为哥哥生子立后。
"Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.
| |
| | 25 | 从前在我们这里，有弟兄七人。第一个娶了妻，死了，没有孩子，撇下妻子给兄弟。
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
| |
| | 26 | 第二第三直到第七个，都是如此。
The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
| |
| | 27 | 末后，妇人也死了。
Finally, the woman died.
| |
| | 28 | 这样当复活的时候，她是七个人中，那一个的妻子呢？因为他们都娶过她。
Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
| |
| | 29 | 耶稣回答说，你们错了。因为不明白圣经，也不晓得神的大能。
Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
| |
| | 30 | 当复活的时候，人也不娶也不嫁，乃像天上的使者一样。
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
| |
| | 31 | 论到死人复活，神在经上向你们所说的，你们没有念过吗？
But about the resurrection of the dead--have you not read what God said to you,
| |
| | 32 | 他说，我是亚伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神。神不是死人的神，乃是活人的神。
'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
| |
| | 33 | 众人听见这话，就希奇他的教训。
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
| |
| | 34 | 法利赛人听见耶稣堵住了撒都该人的口，他们就聚集。
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together.
| |
| | 35 | 内中有一个人是律法师，要试探耶稣，就问他说，
One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
| |
| | 36 | 夫子，律法上的诫命，那一条是最大的呢？
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
| |
| | 37 | 耶稣对他说，你要尽心，尽性，尽意，爱主你的神。
Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
| |
| | 38 | 这是诫命中的第一，且是最大的。
This is the first and greatest commandment.
| |
| | 39 | 其次也相仿，就是要爱人如己。
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
| |
| | 40 | 这两条诫命，是律法和先知一切道理的总纲。
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
| |
| | 41 | 法利赛人聚集的时候，耶稣问他们说，
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
| |
| | 42 | 论到基督，你们的意见如何？他是谁的子孙呢？他们回答说，是大卫的子孙。
"What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied.
| |
| | 43 | 耶稣说，这样，大卫被圣灵感动，怎么还称他为主。说，
He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says,
| |
| | 44 | 主对我主说，你坐在我的右边，等我把你仇敌，放在你的脚下。
"'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." '
| |
| | 45 | 大卫既称他为主，他怎么又是大卫的子孙呢？
If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?"
| |
| | 46 | 他们没有一个人能回答一言。从那日以后，也没有人敢再问他什么。
No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
