路加福音 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
論安息日治病
14 有個安息日,耶穌到一位法利賽人的首領家裡作客,人們密切地監視祂。 2 當時有一個患水腫病的人在耶穌面前, 3 耶穌問法利賽人和律法教師:「在安息日可以醫病嗎?」
4 他們都閉口不言。耶穌便扶著那人把他醫好,叫他走了, 5 然後又問他們:「如果你們有驢[a]或牛在安息日掉進井裡,難道你們不會立刻把牠拉上來嗎?」 6 他們都啞口無言。
論謙卑
7 耶穌在宴席中看見賓客們都爭著坐首位,就用比喻對他們說: 8 「參加婚宴的時候,不要坐在首位,因為或許有更尊貴的賓客來赴宴, 9 主人會把他帶到你面前,說,『請你把首位讓給他吧!』你就要滿面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴時,應該先坐在末位,這樣主人會對你說,『朋友,請上坐!』那時,你在賓客面前就有光彩了。 11 因為自高的人必遭貶抑,謙卑的人必得尊榮。」
論待客之道
12 耶穌又對主人說:「擺設午宴、晚宴時,不要邀請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或有錢的鄰居,免得他們回請你,你便得到報答了。 13 相反,你設宴時,要邀請貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的, 14 這樣你就有福了,因為他們都沒有能力回報你,到了義人復活那天,上帝一定會賞賜你。」
大宴席的比喻
15 同席的一個客人聽了這番話,就對耶穌說:「能夠在上帝的國坐席的人多麼有福啊!」
16 於是,耶穌對他說:「有一個人大擺宴席,邀請了許多客人。 17 要開席的時候,主人就派奴僕去對客人說,『一切都準備好了,來赴宴吧!』 18 可是,他們都找藉口推辭。頭一個說,『我剛買了一塊田,必須去看一看,請恕我不能參加。』 19 另一個說,『我新買了五對牛,要去試一試,請恕我不能參加。』 20 還有一個說,『我剛結了婚,所以不能去。』 21 奴僕回來將這些話告訴主人,主人非常生氣,於是對奴僕說,『快出去到城裡的大街小巷把貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都請來。』 22 奴僕說,『主人啊,我照你的吩咐辦了,可是還有空位。』 23 主人又說,『出去到大路上、籬笆旁硬把人拉來,讓我家裡座無虛席。 24 我告訴你們,原來邀請的那些人沒有一個能嚐到我的宴席!』」
做門徒的代價
25 有一大群人跟著耶穌,祂轉身對他們說: 26 「若有人要跟從我,就要愛我勝過愛他的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姊妹,甚至自己的生命,否則就不能作我的門徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟從我,就不能作我的門徒。
28 「哪有人建樓房不事先坐下來計算成本,看能否建成? 29 否則,打好了地基卻不能完工,徒惹別人嘲笑, 30 『這個人開了工,卻不能完工!』
31 「哪有王要跟另一個王打仗時,不先坐下來酌量一下自己的一萬人是否敵得過對方的兩萬人? 32 如果自知不敵,一定趁敵人還遠的時候,就差使者去求和。
33 「同樣,你們若不撇下一切,就不能作我的門徒。 34 鹽本來是好的,但如果鹽失去了鹹味,怎能使它再變鹹呢? 35 沒有味的鹽,既不利於土壤,也不適宜作肥料,只好丟掉。有耳可聽的,就應當聽。」

路 加 福 音 14
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
在安息日给人治病对吗?
14 在一个安息日里,耶稣来到法利赛人的一个首领家里去吃饭。在场的人们都密切地注视着他, 2 因为耶稣面前有一个患水肿病的人。 3 耶稣一见他就开口问律法师和法利赛人∶“在安息日是否允许为人治病呢?” 4 可是,没有人作声,于是,耶稣扶着那个病人并治愈了他,然后叫他离开了。 5 耶稣又对律法师和法利赛人说∶“如果你们中间,有人的儿子、或者是他家的一头牛,在安息日时掉进了井里,那么,难道你们不会把他(它)马上拽上来吗?” 6 这些人立刻被问得哑口无言了。
不要自命不凡
7 耶稣看到客人都为自己挑选贵宾席位,所以耶稣给他们讲了一个比喻,他说: 8 “有人请你们去赴婚筵时,不要坐在贵宾席上,因为主人可能已邀请了比你们更重要的客人。 9 如果真的是那样的话,邀请你的人就会走到你身边,对你说∶‘请把你的座位让给这个人。’那时,你只好羞愧地退到最后的座位上去。 10 但是你们受到邀请时,你们主动坐到了末座上,所以,当主人来对你说∶‘朋友,请上座。’那时,你就会在所有的来客面前有光彩。 11 因为自命不凡的人将受到贬低,而自甘谦卑的人则受到器重。”
你将得回报
12 然后,耶稣又对邀请他的那个人说∶“你招待午餐或晚餐时,不要邀请你的朋友、兄弟、亲戚或富有的邻居,因为,他们这些人将回请你,那样的话,你就得了回报。 13 但是,你摆宴席时,要邀请穷人、残疾人,瘸腿的和瞎眼的, 14 他们拿不出什么东西回报你,这样,你就有福了,因为你们将在虔诚的人复活的日子里得到报偿。”
邀请赴宴的故事
15 当时,与耶稣同桌吃饭的一个人听到了这些话就对耶稣说∶“能在上帝王国里享受筵席的人是多么有福啊!”
16 耶稣对他说∶“一个人准备了一顿丰盛的宴席,又邀请了很多客人。 17 到了该吃饭的时候,他派奴仆去对客人说∶‘请来吧,一切都准备好了!’ 18 可是,这些客人都开始找借口来推辞。第一个人说∶‘我刚买了一块地,我必须出去看看,请原谅。’ 19 另一个人说∶‘我买了五对牛,要去试试它们,请原谅。’ 20 还有一个说∶‘我刚刚结婚,所以我不能来。’ 21 于是,那个仆人回来,把一切都报告给了主人,主人听后,很生气,便对仆人说∶‘你到大街小巷里去,把那些穷人、残疾人,瞎眼的、瘸腿的,都请来!’ 22 后来,仆人又说∶‘主人,我照您的吩咐做了,可是还有些空座位,’ 23 然后主人对仆人说∶‘出去到路上,沿着栅栏,劝人进来,让我的房子都坐满了人。 24 我告诉你们:我原来请的那些人,没有一个能尝到我的筵席!’”
决定是否你们能跟随我
25 有很多人与耶稣同行着,他转过身对他们说∶ 26 “到我这里来的人,如果爱我不能胜过爱他的父母、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姐妹,甚至自己的生命,那么,他就不能做我的门徒; 27 不肯背着他的十字架跟随我的人也不能做我的门徒; 28 如果你们中有人想造一座塔,他会不会首先坐下来,仔细计算费用,看看他是否有足够的钱去完工呢? 29 否则,他有可能打下地基,但却不能完工。到那时,所有看到这一切人就都会嘲笑他说: 30 ‘这个人只能开工,但是却不能完工!’
31 “如果一个国王出征与另一个国王打仗,他会不会首先坐下来,仔细考虑他的一万个士兵是否能抵挡另一个拥有两万个士兵的国王呢? 32 如果不能,他就应该趁敌人还在远方时,派谴使者去与对方谈判和平的条件。 33 同样,如果你们有谁不能放弃他拥有的财产,就不能成为我的门徒。
不要失去你们的影响
34 “盐是好东西,但是,如果盐失去了咸味,它怎么可能再变咸呢? 35 不咸的盐甚至对土壤和肥料都毫无益处,只好扔掉。
“凡有耳朵听的人,都听着!”
Luke 14
New Matthew Bible
Jesus eats with the Pharisee, heals a man with dropsy on the Sabbath, teaches to be lowly, tells of the great supper, and warns people who would follow him to first determine what it will cost them. The salt of the earth.
14 And it happened that he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on a Sabbath day, and they were watching him. 2 And there was before him a man who had the dropsy. 3 And Jesus addressed the wise men of law and the Pharisees, asking, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? 4 But they held their peace. And he took the man and healed him, and let him go. 5 And he spoke to them, saying, Which of you, having a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, would not straightaway pull him out on the Sabbath day? 6 And they could not answer him in reply to that.
7 He put forth a similitude to the guests, when he observed how they sought out the seats of honour, and said to them, 8 When you are invited to a wedding by anyone, do not sit down in the highest place, lest a more honourable man than you be bidden by him, 9 and he who invited both him and you come and say to you, Make place for this man – and you then begin with shame to take the lowest seat. 10 But rather, when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest seat, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, sit up higher. Then you will have honour in the presence of those who sit at food with you. 11 For whoever exalts himself will be brought low, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
12 Then he said also to the man who had asked him to dinner, When you give a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends or your brethren, neither your kinsfolk or rich neighbours, lest they return the invitation and a recompense be made you. 13 But when you put on a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, 14 and you will be happy; for they cannot recompense you, but you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 When one of those who sat at food also heard that, he said to Jesus, Happy is he who eats bread in the kingdom of God!
16 Then Jesus said to him, A certain man prepared a great supper and invited many people. 17 And he sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were bidden, Come, for all things are now ready. 18 And they all at once began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a farm, and I need to go and see it; I pray you, have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen and I’m going to inspect them; I pray you, have me excused. 20 The third said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 And the servant went and brought his master word of this. Then was the lord of the house displeased, and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and quarters of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you ordered, and still there is room. 23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled. 24 For I say to you that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 A great number of people went with Jesus, and he turned and said to them, 26 If a person comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife, and children, and brethren and sisters, and moreover his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 Which of you, thinking of building a tower, would not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has sufficient to complete it?– 29 lest after he has laid the foundation and is not able to complete it, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish it. 31 Or, what king goes to make battle against another king, and does not sit down first and cast in his mind whether he is able with 10,000 to meet him who comes against him with 20,000? 32 If not, while the other is yet a great way off, he will send ambassadors and seek peace. 33 So now then, none of you who will not renounce all that he has can be my disciple.
34 Salt is good. But if salt has lost her saltness, what can be seasoned with it? 35 It is neither good for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out at the doors. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
