路加福音 6
1 有一個安息日，耶穌從麥地經過。他的門徒掐了麥穗，用手搓着吃。
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 有幾個法利賽人說：「你們為甚麼做安息日不可做的事呢？」
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 耶穌對他們說：「經上記着大衛和跟從他的人飢餓之時所做的事，連這個你們也沒有念過嗎？
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 他怎麼進了上帝的殿，拿陳設餅吃，又給跟從的人吃？這餅除了祭司以外，別人都不可吃。」
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 又對他們說：「人子是安息日的主。」
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 又有一個安息日，耶穌進了會堂教訓人，在那裏有一個人右手枯乾了。
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 文士和法利賽人窺探耶穌，在安息日治病不治病，要得把柄去告他。
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 耶穌卻知道他們的意念，就對那枯乾一隻手的人說：「起來！站在當中。」那人就起來，站着。
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 耶穌對他們說：「我問你們，在安息日行善行惡，救命害命，哪樣是可以的呢？」
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 他就周圍看着他們眾人，對那人說：「伸出手來！」他把手一伸，手就復了原。
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 他們就滿心大怒，彼此商議怎樣處治耶穌。
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 那時，耶穌出去，上山禱告，整夜禱告上帝；
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 到了天亮，叫他的門徒來，就從他們中間挑選十二個人，稱他們為使徒。
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 這十二個人有西門（耶穌又給他起名叫彼得），還有他兄弟安得烈，又有雅各和約翰，腓力和巴多羅買，
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 馬太和多馬，亞勒腓的兒子雅各和奮銳黨的西門，
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 雅各的兒子猶大，和賣主的加略人猶大。
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 耶穌和他們下了山，站在一塊平地上；同站的有許多門徒，又有許多百姓，從猶太全地和耶路撒冷，並泰爾、西頓的海邊來，都要聽他講道，又指望醫治他們的病；
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 還有被污鬼纏磨的，也得了醫治。
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 眾人都想要摸他；因為有能力從他身上發出來，醫好了他們。
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 耶穌舉目看着門徒，說： 你們貧窮的人有福了！ 因為上帝的國是你們的。
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 你們飢餓的人有福了！ 因為你們將要飽足。 你們哀哭的人有福了！ 因為你們將要喜笑。
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 「人為人子恨惡你們，拒絕你們，辱罵你們，棄掉你們的名，以為是惡，你們就有福了！
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 當那日，你們要歡喜跳躍，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。他們的祖宗待先知也是這樣。
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 但你們富足的人有禍了！ 因為你們受過你們的安慰。
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 你們飽足的人有禍了！ 因為你們將要飢餓。 你們喜笑的人有禍了！ 因為你們將要哀慟哭泣。
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 「人都說你們好的時候，你們就有禍了！因為他們的祖宗待假先知也是這樣。」
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 「只是我告訴你們這聽道的人，你們的仇敵，要愛他！恨你們的，要待他好！
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 咒詛你們的，要為他祝福！凌辱你們的，要為他禱告！
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 有人打你這邊的臉，連那邊的臉也由他打。有人奪你的外衣，連裏衣也由他拿去。
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 凡求你的，就給他。有人奪你的東西去，不用再要回來。
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 你們願意人怎樣待你們，你們也要怎樣待人。
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 你們若單愛那愛你們的人，有甚麼可酬謝的呢？就是罪人也愛那愛他們的人。
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 你們若善待那善待你們的人，有甚麼可酬謝的呢？就是罪人也是這樣行。
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 你們若借給人，指望從他收回，有甚麼可酬謝的呢？就是罪人也借給罪人，要如數收回。
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 你們倒要愛仇敵，也要善待他們，並要借給人不指望償還，你們的賞賜就必大了，你們也必作至高者的兒子，因為他恩待那忘恩的和作惡的。
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 你們要慈悲，像你們的父慈悲一樣。」
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 「你們不要論斷人，就不被論斷；你們不要定人的罪，就不被定罪；你們要饒恕人，就必蒙饒恕 ；
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 你們要給人，就必有給你們的，並且用十足的升斗，連搖帶按，上尖下流地倒在你們懷裏；因為你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們。」
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 耶穌又用比喻對他們說：「瞎子豈能領瞎子，兩個人不是都要掉在坑裏嗎？
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 學生不能高過先生；凡學成了的不過和先生一樣。
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 為甚麼看見你弟兄眼中有刺，卻不想自己眼中有樑木呢？
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 你不見自己眼中有樑木，怎能對你弟兄說：『容我去掉你眼中的刺』呢？你這假冒為善的人！先去掉自己眼中的樑木，然後才能看得清楚，去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。」
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 「因為，沒有好樹結壞果子，也沒有壞樹結好果子。
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 凡樹木看果子，就可以認出它來。人不是從荊棘上摘無花果，也不是從蒺藜裏摘葡萄。
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 善人從他心裏所存的善就發出善來；惡人從他心裏所存的惡就發出惡來；因為心裏所充滿的，口裏就說出來。」
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 「你們為甚麼稱呼我『主啊，主啊』卻不遵我的話行呢？
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 凡到我這裏來，聽見我的話就去行的，我要告訴你們他像甚麼人：
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 他像一個人蓋房子，深深地挖地，把根基安在磐石上；到發大水的時候，水沖那房子，房子總不能搖動，因為根基立在磐石上 。
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 惟有聽見不去行的，就像一個人在土地上蓋房子，沒有根基；水一沖，隨即倒塌了，並且那房子壞的很大。」
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
