太20

马太福音-Matthew 第 20 章

20:1	因为诸天的国好像一个作家主的人，清早出去，为他的葡萄园雇工人， For the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, who is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard.
20:2	和工人讲定一天一个银币，就打发他们进他的葡萄园去。 And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3	约在上午九时，他又出去，看见市场上另有闲站的人， And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
20:4	就对他们说，你们也进葡萄园去，所当给的，我必给你们。他们就去了。 And to those he said, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went.
20:5	约在正午和午后三时，他再出去，也是这样行。 And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour and did likewise.
20:6	约在午后五时，他出去，看见另有人站着，就对他们说，你们为什么整天在这里闲站？ And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and said to them, Why have you been standing here all the day idle?
20:7	他们说，因为没有人雇我们。他说，你们也进葡萄园去。 They said to him, Because no one has hired us. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard.
20:8	到了黄昏，葡萄园的主人对管事的说，叫工人都来，给他们工钱，从后来的开始，直到先来的为止。 And when evening fell, the master of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the workmen and pay them their wages, beginning from the last ones to the first.
20:9	那些约在午后五时雇的来了，每个人都领了一个银币。 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.
20:10	那些先雇的也来了，他们以为必要多领，但他们也是各领一个银币。 And when the first ones came, they supposed that they would receive more. And they themselves also received each a denarius.
20:11	他们领了之后，就埋怨家主说， And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
20:12	那些后来的作了一小时的工，你竟叫他们和我们这些整天劳苦受热的一样。 Saying, These last ones worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
20:13	家主回答他们其中的一个说，朋友，我没有对你不义。你不是与我讲定一个银币么？ But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I am doing nothing unrighteous to you. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
20:14	拿你的走吧；我愿意给那后来的，正如给你的一样。 Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last one even as I have given to you.
20:15	难道我不可随我的意思，用我的东西么？还是因为我慈善，你就眼红了么？ Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is mine? Or is your eye evil because I am good?
20:16	这样，在后的将要在前，在前的将要在后了。 Thus shall the last be first and the first last.
20:17	耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候，在路上暗暗的把十二个门徒带到一边，对他们说， And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside privately, and on the way He said to them,
20:18	看哪，我们上耶路撒冷去，人子要被交给祭司长和经学家，他们要定祂死罪， Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes. And they will condemn Him to death,
20:19	又要把祂交给外邦人去戏弄，鞭打，并钉十字架，第三日祂必复活。 And deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised.
20:20	那时，西庇太儿子的母亲，同她儿子们进前来拜耶稣，求祂一件事。 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, worshipping and asking something of Him.
20:21	耶稣就对她说，你要什么？她说，请叫我这两个儿子在你国里，一个坐在你右边，一个坐在你左边。 And He said to her, What do you want? She said to Him, Say that these two sons of mine will sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your kingdom.
20:22	耶稣回答说，你们不知道所求的是什么。我将要喝的杯，你们能喝么？他们说，我们能。 But Jesus answered and said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink? They said to Him, We are able.
20:23	耶稣说，我的杯你们必要喝，只是坐在我的左右，不是我可以赐的；乃是我父为谁预备的，就赐给谁。 He said to them, My cup you shall indeed drink, but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.
20:24	那十个听见，就恼怒这两个兄弟。 And when the ten heard this, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.
20:25	于是耶稣叫了他们来，说，你们知道外邦人有君王为主治理他们，也有大臣操权管辖他们。 But Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great exercise authority over them.
20:26	但你们中间不是这样；反倒你们中间无论谁想要为大，就必作你们的仆役； It shall not be so among you; but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant,
20:27	你们中间无论谁想要为首，就必作你们的奴仆。 And whoever wants to be first among you shall be your slave;
20:28	正如人子来，不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命，作多人的赎价。 Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.
20:29	他们出耶利哥的时候，有大批群众跟着祂。 And as they were going out from Jericho, a great crowd followed Him.
20:30	看哪，有两个瞎子坐在路旁，听见耶稣经过，就喊着说，主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！ And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!
20:31	群众责备他们，叫他们安静，他们却越发喊着说，主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！ And the crowd rebuked them so that they would be silent, but they cried out the more, saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!
20:32	耶稣就站住，叫他们来，说，要我为你们作什么？ And Jesus, standing still, called them and said, What do you want Me to do for you?
20:33	他们说，主啊，要我们的眼睛得开。 They said to Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34	耶稣就动了慈心，把他们的眼睛一摸，他们立刻看见，就跟从了耶稣。 And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight and followed Him.
