馬太福音 21

耶穌和門徒將近耶路撒冷，到了伯法其，在橄欖山那裏。

yē sū hé mén tú jiāng jìn yē lù sā lěng ， dào le bó fǎ qí ， zài gǎn lǎn shān nà lǐ 。

When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

耶穌就打發兩個門徒，對他們說：「你們往對面村子裏去，必看見一匹驢拴在那裏，還有驢駒同在一處；你們解開，牽到我這裏來。

yē sū jiù dǎ fā liǎng gè mén tú ， duì tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men wǎng duì miàn cūn zǐ lǐ qù ， bì kàn jiàn yì pǐ lǘ shuān zài nà lǐ ， hái yǒu lǘ jū tóng zài yí chù ； nǐ men jiě kāi ， qiān dào wǒ zhè lǐ lái 。

saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

若有人對你們說甚麼，你們就說：『主要用牠。』那人必立時讓你們牽來。

ruò yǒu rén duì nǐ men shuō shén me ， nǐ men jiù shuō ：『 zhǔ yào yòng tā 。』 nà rén bì lì shí ràng nǐ men qiān lái 。

If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

這事成就是要應驗先知的話，說：

zhè shì chéng jiù shì yào yìng yàn xiān zhī de huà ， shuō ：

All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

要對錫安的居民 說： 看哪，你的王來到你這裏， 是溫柔的，又騎着驢， 就是騎着驢駒子。」

yào duì xī ān de jū mín shuō ： kàn nǎ ， nǐ de wáng lái dào nǐ zhè lǐ ， shì wēn róu de ， yòu qí zhe lǘ ， jiù shì qí zhe lǘ jū zǐ 。」

“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

門徒就照耶穌所吩咐的去行，

mén tú jiù zhào yē sū suǒ fēn fù de qù xíng ，

The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,

牽了驢和驢駒來，把自己的衣服搭在上面，耶穌就騎上。

qiān le lǘ hé lǘ jū lái ， bǎ zì jǐ de yī fu dā zài shàng miàn ， yē sū jiù qí shàng 。

and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

眾人多半把衣服鋪在路上；還有人砍下樹枝來鋪在路上。

zhòng rén duō bàn bǎ yī fu pù zài lù shang ； hái yǒu rén kǎn xià shù zhī lái pù zài lù shang 。

A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

前行後隨的眾人喊着說： 和散那 歸於大衛的子孫！ 奉主名來的是應當稱頌的！ 高高在上和散那！

qián xíng hòu suí de zhòng rén hǎn zhe shuō ： hé sàn nà guī yú dà wèi de zǐ sūn ！ fèng zhǔ míng lái de shì yīng dāng chēng sòng de ！ gāo gāo zài shàng hé sàn nà ！

The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

耶穌既進了耶路撒冷，合城都驚動了，說：「這是誰？」

yē sū jì jìn le yē lù sā lěng ， hé chéng dōu jīng dòng le ， shuō ：「 zhè shì shuí ？」

When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

眾人說：「這是加利利拿撒勒的先知耶穌。」

zhòng rén shuō ：「 zhè shì jiā lì lì ná sā lè de xiān zhī yē sū 。」

The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

耶穌進了上帝的殿，趕出殿裏一切做買賣的人，推倒兌換銀錢之人的桌子，和賣鴿子之人的凳子，

yē sū jìn le shén de diàn ， gǎn chū diàn lǐ yí qiè zuò mǎi mài de rén ， tuī dǎo duì huàn yín qián zhī rén de zhuō zi ， hé mài gē zi zhī rén de dèng zǐ ，

Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

對他們說：「經上記着說： 我的殿必稱為禱告的殿， 你們倒使它成為賊窩了。」

duì tā men shuō ：「 jīng shàng jì zhe shuō ： wǒ de diàn bì chēng wéi dǎo gào de diàn ， nǐ men dǎo shǐ tā chéng wéi zéi wō le 。」

He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”

在殿裏有瞎子、瘸子到耶穌跟前，他就治好了他們。

zài diàn lǐ yǒu xiā zǐ 、 qué zǐ dào yē sū gēn qián ， tā jiù zhì hǎo le tā men 。

The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

祭司長和文士看見耶穌所行的奇事，又見小孩子在殿裏喊着說：「和散那歸於大衛的子孫！」就甚惱怒，

jì sī zhǎng hé wén shì kàn jiàn yē sū suǒ xíng de qí shì ， yòu jiàn xiǎo hái zi zài diàn lǐ hǎn zhe shuō ：「 hé sàn nà guī yú dà wèi de zǐ sūn ！」 jiù shèn nǎo nù ，

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

對他說：「這些人所說的，你聽見了嗎？」耶穌說：「是的。經上說『你從嬰孩和吃奶的口中完全了讚美』的話，你們沒有念過嗎？」

duì tā shuō ：「 zhè xiē rén suǒ shuō de ， nǐ tīng jiàn le ma ？」 yē sū shuō ：「 shì de 。 jīng shàng shuō 『 nǐ cóng yīng hái hé chī nǎi de kǒu zhōng wán quán le zàn měi 』 de huà ， nǐ men méi yǒu niàn guò ma ？」

and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”

於是離開他們，出城到伯大尼去，在那裏住宿。

yú shì lí kāi tā men ， chū chéng dào bó dà ní qù ， zài nà lǐ zhù sù 。

He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.

早晨回城的時候，他餓了，

zǎo chén huí chéng de shí hòu ， tā è le ，

Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

看見路旁有一棵無花果樹，就走到跟前，在樹上找不着甚麼，不過有葉子，就對樹說：「從今以後，你永不結果子。」那無花果樹就立刻枯乾了。

kàn jiàn lù páng yǒu yì kē wú huā guǒ shù ， jiù zǒu dào gēn qián ， zài shù shàng zhǎo bù zhe shén me ， bú guò yǒu yè zi ， jiù duì shù shuō ：「 cóng jīn yǐ hòu ， nǐ yǒng bù jié guǒ zǐ 。」 nà wú huā guǒ shù jiù lì kè kū gān le 。

Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

門徒看見了，便希奇說：「無花果樹怎麼立刻枯乾了呢？」

mén tú kàn jiàn le ， biàn xī qí shuō ：「 wú huā guǒ shù zěn me lì kè kū gān le ne ？」

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

耶穌回答說：「我實在告訴你們，你們若有信心，不疑惑，不但能行無花果樹上所行的事，就是對這座山說：『你挪開此地，投在海裏！』也必成就。

yē sū huí dá shuō ：「 wǒ shí zài gào sù nǐ men ， nǐ men ruò yǒu xìn xīn ， bù yí huò ， bú dàn néng xíng wú huā guǒ shù shàng suǒ xíng de shì ， jiù shì duì zhè zuò shān shuō ：『 nǐ nuó kāi cǐ dì ， tóu zài hǎi lǐ ！』 yě bì chéng jiù 。

Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

你們禱告，無論求甚麼，只要信，就必得着。」

nǐ men dǎo gào ， wú lùn qiú shén me ， zhǐ yào xìn ， jiù bì dé zhe 。」

All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

耶穌進了殿，正教訓人的時候，祭司長和民間的長老來問他說：「你仗着甚麼權柄做這些事？給你這權柄的是誰呢？」

yē sū jìn le diàn ， zhèng jiào xùn rén de shí hòu ， jì sī zhǎng hé mín jiān de zhǎng lǎo lái wèn tā shuō ：「 nǐ zhàng zhe shén me quán bǐng zuò zhè xiē shì ？ gěi nǐ zhè quán bǐng de shì shuí ne ？」

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

耶穌回答說：「我也要問你們一句話，你們若告訴我，我就告訴你們我仗着甚麼權柄做這些事。

yē sū huí dá shuō ：「 wǒ yě yào wèn nǐ men yí jù huà ， nǐ men ruò gào sù wǒ ， wǒ jiù gào sù nǐ men wǒ zhàng zhe shén me quán bǐng zuò zhè xiē shì 。

Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

約翰的洗禮是從哪裏來的？是從天上來的？是從人間來的呢？」他們彼此商議說：「我們若說『從天上來』，他必對我們說：『這樣，你們為甚麼不信他呢？』

yuē hàn de xǐ lǐ shì cóng nǎ lǐ lái de ？ shì cóng tiān shàng lái de ？ shì cóng rén jiān lái de ne ？」 tā men bǐ cǐ shāng yì shuō ：「 wǒ men ruò shuō 『 cóng tiān shàng lái 』， tā bì duì wǒ men shuō ：『 zhè yàng ， nǐ men wèi shén me bú xìn tā ne ？』

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

若說『從人間來』，我們又怕百姓，因為他們都以約翰為先知。」

ruò shuō 『 cóng rén jiān lái 』， wǒ men yòu pà bǎi xìng ， yīn wèi tā men dōu yǐ yuē hàn wèi xiān zhī 。」

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

於是回答耶穌說：「我們不知道。」耶穌說：「我也不告訴你們我仗着甚麼權柄做這些事。」

yú shì huí dá yē sū shuō ：「 wǒ men bù zhī dào 。」 yē sū shuō ：「 wǒ yě bú gào sù nǐ men wǒ zhàng zhe shén me quán bǐng zuò zhè xiē shì 。」

They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

又說：「一個人有兩個兒子。他來對大兒子說：『我兒，你今天到葡萄園裏去做工。』

yòu shuō ：「 yí gè rén yǒu liǎng gè ér zi 。 tā lái duì dà ér zi shuō ：『 wǒ ér ， nǐ jīn tiān dào pú táo yuán lǐ qù zuò gōng 。』

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

他回答說：『我不去』，以後自己懊悔，就去了。

tā huí dá shuō ：『 wǒ bú qù 』， yǐ hòu zì jǐ ào huǐ ， jiù qù le 。

He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

又來對小兒子也是這樣說。他回答說：『父啊，我去』，他卻不去。

yòu lái duì xiǎo ér zǐ yě shì zhè yàng shuō 。 tā huí dá shuō ：『 fù a ， wǒ qù 』， tā què bú qù 。

He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

你們想，這兩個兒子是哪一個遵行父命呢？」他們說：「大兒子。」耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，稅吏和娼妓倒比你們先進上帝的國。

nǐ men xiǎng ， zhè liǎng gè ér zi shì nǎ yí gè zūn xíng fù mìng ne ？」 tā men shuō ：「 dà ér zi 。」 yē sū shuō ：「 wǒ shí zài gào sù nǐ men ， shuì lì hé chāng jì dǎo bǐ nǐ men xiān jìn shén de guó 。

Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

因為約翰遵着義路到你們這裏來，你們卻不信他；稅吏和娼妓倒信他。你們看見了，後來還是不懊悔去信他。」

yīn wèi yuē hàn zūn zhe yì lù dào nǐ men zhè lǐ lái ， nǐ men què bú xìn tā ； shuì lì hé chāng jì dǎo xìn tā 。 nǐ men kàn jiàn le ， hòu lái hái shì bú ào huǐ qù xìn tā 。」

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

「你們再聽一個比喻：有個家主栽了一個葡萄園，周圍圈上籬笆，裏面挖了一個壓酒池，蓋了一座樓，租給園戶，就往外國去了。

「 nǐ men zài tīng yí gè bǐ yù ： yǒu gè jiā zhǔ zāi le yí gè pú táo yuán ， zhōu wéi quān shàng lí bā ， lǐ miàn wā le yí gè yā jiǔ chí ， gài le yí zuò lóu ， zū gěi yuán hù ， jiù wǎng wài guó qù le 。

“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

收果子的時候近了，就打發僕人到園戶那裏去收果子。

shōu guǒ zǐ de shí hòu jìn le ， jiù dǎ fā pú rén dào yuán hù nà lǐ qù shōu guǒ zǐ 。

When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.

園戶拿住僕人，打了一個，殺了一個，用石頭打死一個。

yuán hù ná zhù pú rén ， dǎ le yí gè ， shā le yí gè ， yòng shí tou dǎ sǐ yí gè 。

The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

主人又打發別的僕人去，比先前更多；園戶還是照樣待他們。

zhǔ rén yòu dǎ fā bié de pú rén qù ， bǐ xiān qián gèng duō ； yuán hù hái shì zhào yàng dài tā men 。

Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.

後來打發他的兒子到他們那裏去，意思說：『他們必尊敬我的兒子。』

hòu lái dǎ fā tā de ér zi dào tā men nà lǐ qù ， yì sī shuō ：『 tā men bì zūn jìng wǒ de ér zi 。』

But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

不料，園戶看見他兒子，就彼此說：『這是承受產業的。來吧，我們殺他，佔他的產業！』

bú liào ， yuán hù kàn jiàn tā ér zi ， jiù bǐ cǐ shuō ：『 zhè shì chéng shòu chǎn yè de 。 lái ba ， wǒ men shā tā ， zhàn tā de chǎn yè ！』

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’

他們就拿住他，推出葡萄園外，殺了。

tā men jiù ná zhù tā ， tuī chū pú táo yuán wài ， shā le 。

So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.

園主來的時候要怎樣處治這些園戶呢？」

yuán zhǔ lái de shí hòu yào zěn yàng chǔ zhì zhè xiē yuán hù ne ？」

When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

他們說：「要下毒手除滅那些惡人，將葡萄園另租給那按着時候交果子的園戶。」

tā men shuō ：「 yào xià dú shǒu chú miè nà xiē è rén ， jiāng pú táo yuán lìng zū gěi nà àn zhe shí hòu jiāo guǒ zǐ de yuán hù 。」

They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”

耶穌說：「經上寫着： 匠人所棄的石頭 已作了房角的頭塊石頭。 這是主所做的， 在我們眼中看為希奇。 這經你們沒有念過嗎？

yē sū shuō ：「 jīng shàng xiě zhe ： jiàng rén suǒ qì de shí tou yǐ zuò le fáng jiǎo de tóu kuài shí tou 。 zhè shì zhǔ suǒ zuò de ， zài wǒ men yǎn zhōng kàn wèi xī qí 。 zhè jīng nǐ men méi yǒu niàn guò ma ？

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?

所以我告訴你們，上帝的國必從你們奪去，賜給那能結果子的百姓。

suǒ yǐ wǒ gào sù nǐ men ， shén de guó bì cóng nǐ men duó qù ， cì gěi nà néng jié guǒ zǐ de bǎi xìng 。

“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

誰掉在這石頭上，必要跌碎；這石頭掉在誰的身上，就要把誰砸得稀爛。」

shuí diào zài zhè shí tou shàng ， bì yào diē suì ； zhè shí tou diào zài shuí de shēn shàng ， jiù yào bǎ shuí zá dé xī làn 。」

He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

祭司長和法利賽人聽見他的比喻，就看出他是指着他們說的。

jì sī cháng hé fǎ lì sài rén tīng jiàn tā de bǐ yù ， jiù kàn chū tā shì zhǐ zhe tā men shuō de 。

When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

他們想要捉拿他，只是怕眾人，因為眾人以他為先知。

tā men xiǎng yào zhuō ná tā ， zhǐ shì pà zhòng rén ， yīn wèi zhòng rén yǐ tā wèi xiān zhī 。

When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
