馬太福音 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
安息日的問題
12 那時，耶穌在安息日經過一片麥田。祂的門徒餓了，便隨手搓麥穗吃。 2 法利賽人看見後，對耶穌說：「你看，你的門徒做了在安息日不准做的事！」
3 耶穌回答說：「你們沒有讀過大衛的事蹟嗎？當時他和部下餓了， 4 進入上帝的殿，吃了獻給上帝的供餅。這餅只有祭司才可以吃，大衛和部下是不准吃的。 5 此外律法書又記載，安息日，祭司在聖殿裡觸犯了守安息日的規條也不算有罪。你們沒有讀過嗎？ 6 我告訴你們，這裡有一人比聖殿更偉大， 7 如果你們明白『我喜愛憐憫之心，而非祭物』這句經文的意義，就不會冤枉無辜了。 8 因為人子是安息日的主。」
9 耶穌離開那裡，走進會堂， 10 裡面有個人，一隻手是萎縮的。法利賽人企圖找藉口控告耶穌，就問祂：「安息日可不可以醫病呢？」
11 耶穌回答說：「如果你們有一隻羊在安息日掉進坑裡，難道你們不把牠拉上來嗎？ 12 人比羊要貴重多了！所以在安息日行善合情合理。」
13 於是，耶穌轉過身來對那人說：「把手伸出來！」那人一伸手，手就復原了，跟另一隻手一樣健康。 14 法利賽人卻走了出去，策劃怎樣除掉耶穌。
上帝的僕人
15 耶穌知道了，就離開那個地方。很多人跟隨祂，耶穌醫好了其中所有患病的人， 16 吩咐他們不要洩露祂的身分。 17 這是要應驗以賽亞先知的話：
18 「看啊！我所揀選、
所眷愛、所喜悅的僕人，
我要將我的靈賜給祂，
祂要向萬邦宣揚正義。
19 祂不爭競，不喧嚷，
街上也聽不見祂的聲音。
20 壓傷的蘆葦，祂不折斷；
將殘的燈火，祂不吹滅；
祂終必使正義得勝。
21 普世都要仰望祂的聖名。」
22 有人帶一個被鬼附身、又瞎又啞的人來見耶穌，耶穌便醫好他，使他能說能看。 23 眾人都很驚奇，就說：「這人會不會是大衛的那個後裔？」 24 法利賽人聽見後卻說：「祂不過是靠鬼王別西卜趕鬼罷了。」
25 耶穌知道他們的心思，就說：「一個國內部自相紛爭，必然滅亡；一座城、一個家內部自相紛爭，必然崩潰。 26 若撒旦驅逐撒旦，就是自相紛爭，牠的國怎能維持呢？ 27 若我是靠別西卜趕鬼，你們的子弟又是靠誰趕鬼呢？為此，他們要審判你們。 28 若我是靠上帝的靈趕鬼，就是上帝的國已降臨在你們中間了。
29 「人如何進入壯漢家中搶奪他的財物呢？除非先把那壯漢捆綁起來，才有可能搶劫他的家。
30 「不與我為友就是與我為敵；不助我召集就是故意拆散。 31 所以我告訴你們，一切的罪和褻瀆的話都可以得到赦免，但褻瀆聖靈的罪必得不到赦免。 32 說話得罪人子的，還可以得到赦免；但那些說話冒犯聖靈的，今生永世都得不到赦免。
樹與果
33 「好樹結好果子，壞樹結壞果子，看果子就能知道樹的好壞。 34 你們這些毒蛇的後代！你們心裡邪惡，又怎能講出好話呢？因為心裡充滿的，口裡自然會說出來。 35 善人心存良善，就從他裡面發出良善；惡人心存邪惡，就從他裡面發出邪惡。 36 我告訴你們，在審判之日，人將為自己所說的每一句閒話負責， 37 因為將來要憑你口中的話來判斷你是否有罪。」
求神蹟
38 當時，有幾個律法教師和法利賽人對耶穌說：「老師，我們想要看你行個神蹟。」 39 耶穌回答說：「一個邪惡淫亂的世代想看神蹟，可是除了約拿先知的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們看。 40 約拿在大魚腹中三日三夜，人子也要在地裡三日三夜。 41 在審判的日子，尼尼微人和這世代的人都要起來[a]，尼尼微人要定這個世代的罪，因為他們聽到約拿的宣告，就悔改了。看啊！這裡有一人比約拿更偉大。 42 在審判的日子，南方的女王和這世代的人都要起來，她要定這個世代的罪，因為她曾不遠千里來聽所羅門王的智言慧語。看啊！這裡有一人比所羅門王更偉大。
乘虛而入
43 「有一個污鬼離開了牠以前所附的人，在乾旱無水之地四處遊蕩，尋找安歇之處，卻沒有找到。 44 於是牠說，『我要回到老地方。』牠回去後，看見裡面空著，打掃得又乾淨又整齊， 45 就去帶來了七個比自己更邪惡的鬼一起住在那裡。那人的下場比從前更慘了。這個邪惡的世代也會這樣。」
真正的親屬
46 耶穌還在和眾人說話的時候，祂的母親和兄弟站在外面，想要跟祂說話。 47 有人告訴祂：「你的母親和兄弟在外面有話要跟你說。」
48 耶穌說：「誰是我的母親？誰是我的兄弟？」 49 祂伸出手來指著門徒說：「你們看！這些人就是我的母親和我的兄弟。 50 凡遵行我天父旨意的人都是我的弟兄、姊妹和母親。」

Yesu Mbuye wa Sabata
12 Pa nthawi imeneyo Yesu anadutsa pakati pa minda ya tirigu pa tsiku la Sabata. Ophunzira ake anamva njala nayamba kuthyola ngala za tirigu nʼkumadya. 2 Afarisi ataona zimenezi anati kwa Iye, “Taonani! Ophunzira anu akuchita zosaloledwa pa tsiku la Sabata.”
3 Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge zimene anachita Davide pamene iye ndi anzake anamva njala? 4 Analowa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo iye ndi anzakewo anadya buledi wopatulika amene sikunali kololedwa kwa iwo kudya koma ansembe okha. 5 Kodi simunawerenge mʼmalamulo kuti pa Sabata ansembe mʼNyumba ya Mulungu amaphwanya lamulo la Sabata komabe sawayesa olakwa? 6 Ine ndikuwuzani kuti wamkulu kuposa Nyumba ya Mulunguyo ali pano. 7 Ngati mukanadziwa zomwe mawu awa atanthauza, ‘Ine ndifuna chifundo osati nsembe,’ inu simukanatsutsa osalakwa. 8 Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu ndiye Mbuye wa Sabata.”

11 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ngati wina wa inu ali ndi nkhosa nigwera mʼdzenje tsiku la Sabata, kodi simudzayigwira ndi kuyitulutsa kunja? 12 Nanga munthu sali oposa nkhosa kwambiri! Chifukwa chake nʼkololedwa kuchita zabwino pa Sabata.”
13 Pamenepo Yesu anati kwa munthuyo, “Wongola dzanja lako.” Iye analiwongola ndipo linakhala monga linalili kale. 14 Koma Afarisi anatuluka kunja ndi kukonza njira yoti amuphere.
Mtumiki Wosankhidwa ndi Mulungu

18 “Taonani mnyamata wanga amene ndinamusankha,
Wokondedwa wanga, amene moyo wanga ukondwera naye.
Pa Iye ndidzayika Mzimu wanga,
ndipo Iye adzalalikira chiweruzo kwa akunja.
19 Sadzalimbana, sadzafuwula,
ngakhale mmodzi sadzamva mawu ake mʼmakwalala.
20 Bango lophwanyika sadzalithyola,
ndi nyale yofuka sadzayizimitsa,
kufikira Iye adzatumiza chiweruziro chikagonjetse.
21 Ndipo akunja adzakhulupirira dzina lake.”

22 Pomwepo anthu anabwera naye kwa Yesu munthu wogwidwa ndi chiwanda amene anali wosaona ndi wosamva ndipo Yesu anamuchiritsa kotero kuti atatha anayamba kumva ndi kuona. 23 Anthu onse anadabwa ndipo anati, “Kodi uyu ndi kukhala mwana wa Davide?”
24 Koma Afarisi atamva zimenezi, anati, “Uyu amatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Belezebabu mkulu wa ziwandazo.”
25 Yesu anadziwa maganizo awo ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ufumu uliwonse ukagawanika mwa iwo udzawonongeka ndi mzinda uliwonse kapena banja likagawanika, mwa izo zokha sizidzayima. 26 Ngati Satana atulutsa Satana, iye adzigawa yekha. Nanga ufumu wake ungayime bwanji? 27 Ndipo ngati Ine nditulutsa ziwanda ndi Belezebule, anthu anu amatulutsa ziwandazo ndi chiyani? Potero tsono adzakhala oweruza anu. 28 Koma ngati Ine ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu, pamenepo ufumu wa Mulungu wafika pa inu.
29 “Kapenanso wina aliyense angathe bwanji kulowa mʼnyumba ya munthu wamphamvu ndi kunyamulamo zinthu zake, sipokhapo atayamba wamanga munthu wa mphamvuyo? Pamenepo iye akhoza kuba mʼnyumbamo.
30 “Iye amene sali ndi Ine atsutsana nane ndipo iye amene sasonkhanitsa pamodzi ndi Ine amamwaza. 31 Ndipo potero Ine ndikuwuzani inu, tchimo lililonse ndi cha mwano chilichonse zidzakhululukidwa kwa anthu koma chamwano cha pa Mzimu Woyera, sichidzakhululukidwa. 32 Aliyense amene anena mawu otsutsana ndi Mwana wa Munthu adzakhululukidwa koma aliyense wonena motsutsana ndi Mzimu Woyera sadzakhululukidwa mu mʼbado uno kapena umene ukubwerawo.

33 “Mtengo wabwino umabala zipatso zabwino ndipo mtengo woyipa umabalanso zipatso zoyipa, pajatu mtengo umadziwika ndi zipatso zake. 34 Ana anjoka inu, woyipa inu, mungathe bwanji kuyankhula kanthu kalikonse kabwino? Pakuti pakamwa pamayankhula zosefuka kuchokera mu mtima. 35 Munthu wabwino amatulutsa zinthu zabwino zomwe zili mumtima mwake ndipo munthu woyipa amatulutsanso zinthu zoyipa zomwe zili mwa iye. 36 Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti pa tsiku la chiweruziro munthu adzazengedwa mlandu chifukwa cha mawu aliwonse wopanda pake amene anayankhula. 37 Pakuti ndi mawu anu mudzapezeka osalakwa ndiponso ndi mawu anu mudzapezeka olakwa.”
Chizindikiro cha Yona
38 Pamenepo ena mwa Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anati kwa Iye, “Aphunzitsi, tikufuna tione chizindikiro chodabwitsa kuchokera kwa Inu.”
39 Iye anayankha kuti, “Mʼbado woyipa ndi wachigololo ufunsa za chizindikiro chodabwitsa! Koma ndi chimodzi chomwe sichidzapatsidwa kwa inu kupatula chizindikiro cha mneneri Yona. 40 Pakuti monga Yona anali mʼmimba mwa nsomba yayikulu masiku atatu, usana ndi usiku, momwemonso Mwana wa Munthu adzakhala masiku atatu, usana ndi usiku, mʼkati mwa nthaka. 41 Anthu a ku Ninive adzayimirira pachiweruzo ndi mʼbado uwu ndi kuwutsutsa pakuti iwo analapa Yona atalalikira ndipo tsopano wamkulu kuposa Yona ali pano. 42 Mfumu yayikazi yakummwera idzayimirira pa tsiku lachiweruzo ndi mʼbado uwu ndipo idzawutsutsa pakuti inachokera kumathero a dziko lapansi kudzamva nzeru za Solomoni, ndipo pano pali woposa Solomoni.
Za Mzimu Woyipa
43 “Pamene mzimu woyipa utuluka mwa munthu, umadutsa malo wopanda madzi kufunafuna malo opumulira ndipo suwapeza. 44 Pamenepo umati, ‘Ndidzabwerera ku nyumba yanga komwe ndinatuluka.’ Pamene ufika, upeza mopanda kanthu, mosesedwa ndi mokonzedwa bwino. 45 Kenaka umapita kukatenga mizimu ina isanu ndi iwiri yoyipa kwambiri kuposa uwowo ndipo imapita ndi kukakhala mʼmenemo. Choncho khalidwe lotsiriza la munthu uyu limakhala loyipa kwambiri kuposa loyambalo. Umo ndi mmene zidzakhalire ndi mʼbado oyipawu.”
Amayi ndi Abale Ake a Yesu
46 Pamene Yesu anali kuyankhulabe ndi gulu la anthu, amayi ndi abale ake anayimirira kunja, akufuna kuyankhulana naye. 47 Wina anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Amayi ndi abale anu ayima kunjaku akufuna kuyankhulana nanu.”
48 Iye anayankha kuti, “Amayi anga ndani ndipo abale anga ndi ndani?” 49 Ndipo akuloza ophunzira ake, Iye anati, “Awa ndiwo amayi anga ndi abale anga. 50 Pakuti aliyense amene achita chifuniro cha Atate anga akumwamba ndiye mʼbale wanga, mlongo wanga ndi amayi anga.”
Matthew 12
Worldwide English (New Testament)
12 About that time, Jesus was walking through the grain fields on a Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry. They began to pick some of the grain and to eat it.
2 The Pharisees saw them. They said to Jesus, `Look! Your disciples are doing what is not right on the Sabbath day.'
3 But Jesus said to them, `Have you not read what David did? He and his men who were with him were hungry.
4 He went into God's house. Some bread was there for God. David's men ate it. David did not have the right to eat it, nor the men who were with him. Only the priests have the right to eat it. But David took the bread and ate it. He also gave some of it to the men who were with him.
5 `Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.
6 I tell you, there is someone here who is greater than the temple.
7 `You do not know what this means, "I want you to be kind; I do not want a sacrifice." If you knew, then you would not have said what they did was wrong. What they did was not wrong.
8 The Son of Man rules over the Sabbath day.'
9 Jesus left that place and went into the meeting house.
10 There was a man whose hand was thin and weak. The people asked Jesus, `Is it right to heal a man on the Sabbath day?' They wanted to find something wrong about Jesus.
11 Jesus said to them, `If one of you had a sheep and it fell into a hole on the Sabbath day, would you not take hold of it and pull it out?
12 A man is worth much more than a sheep. So it is right to do good things on the Sabbath day.'
13 Then he said to the man, `Hold out your hand.' The man held out his hand and it was made well like the other hand.
14 Then the Pharisees went out and planned together how to kill Jesus.
15 Jesus knew about their plan, so he went away from there. Many people followed him and he healed them all.
16 He told them not to tell where he was.
17 So what Isaiah the prophet of God said, came true.
18 He said, `This is my servant. I have chosen him. I love him. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will judge the people who are not Jews.
19 He will not fight or shout. No one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 He will not break a stick that is already bent. He will not put out a light that burns only a little. What is right will win, because he will make it win.
21 Those who are not Jews will believe in him.'
22 Then the people brought a man to Jesus. The man had a bad spirit in him. He was blind and could not talk. Jesus healed him. Then the man could talk and see.
23 All the people were surprised. They said, `Is he David's son?'
24 The Pharisees heard about it. They said, `This man drives out bad spirits by the help of Beelzebub, the chief of bad spirits.'
25 Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, `If one part of any country fights against the other part of the country, that country is broken down. If one part of any city or family fights against the other part of it, it cannot stand.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, he fights against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 If I drive out bad spirits by Beelzebub, how do your own people drive them out? Let them judge you.
28 But if I drive out bad spirits by God's Spirit, then God's kingdom is here with you now.
29 `If anyone wants to go into a strong man's house and steal his things, he must first tie the strong man. Then he can steal his things.
30 `Anyone who is not with me, is against me. Anyone who does not work with me is working against me.
31 `That is why I tell you this. All wrong things that people do or say, will be forgiven. But people who say wrong things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.
32 Anyone who says anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who says anything against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. He will not be forgiven in this world or in the next world.'
33 `Either make a tree good and its fruit good, or make a tree bad and its fruit bad. People know what kind of tree it is by the fruit on it.
34 You family of snakes! How can you say good things? You are wrong! The mouth will say what is in the heart.
35 A good man has stored up good things in his heart, so he will say good things. A bad man has stored up wrong things in his heart, so he will say wrong things.
36 I tell you this. On the day when people are judged, they will pay for every empty word they have said.
37 Because of your words, you will be called good. Or because of your words, you will be punished.'
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, `Teacher, we want you to show us a sign.'
39 But Jesus answered them, `The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40 Jonah was inside the big sea animal for three days and three nights. So the Son of Man will be in the ground for three days and three nights.
41 When people are judged, the men of the city of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today. The people of Nineveh stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them God's word. And the one who is here is greater than Jonah.
42 When people are judged, the Queen of the South will stand up and speak against the people of today. She came a long way to hear the wise talk of Solomon. And the one who is here is greater than Solomon.'
43 `When a bad spirit has gone out of a man, he goes through dry places. He looks for a place to rest, but he does not find any.
44 Then he says, "I will go back to my house from where I came." When he comes back, he finds it is empty, clean, and all fixed up.
45 Then he goes and brings seven other spirits with him. They are worse than he is. They go in and live there. Now the man is worse than he was at first. That is how it will be for the wrong people of today.'
46 While Jesus was still talking to the people, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to talk to him.
47 Someone told him, `Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to talk to you.'
48 But to the man who told him, he said, `Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?'
49 He pointed to his disciples and said, `These people are my mother and my brothers!
50 Anyone who obeys my Father in heaven is my brother, my sister, and my mother.'
