Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
1安息日，耶穌到一個法利賽人的首領家裏去吃飯，他們就窺探他。
2Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
2在他面前有一個患水臌的人。
3So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
3耶穌對律法師和法利賽人說：「安息日治病可以不可以？」
4But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
4他們卻不言語。耶穌就治好那人，叫他走了；
5And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
5便對他們說：「你們中間誰有驢或有牛，在安息日掉在井裏，不立時拉牠上來呢？」
6And they were unable to answer these questions.
6他們不能對答這話。
7When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
7耶穌見所請的客揀擇首位，就用比喻對他們說：
8“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
8「你被人請去赴婚姻的筵席，不要坐在首位上，恐怕有比你尊貴的客被他請來；
9Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
9那請你們的人前來對你說：『讓座給這一位吧！』你就羞羞慚慚地退到末位上去了。
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
10你被請的時候，就去坐在末位上，好叫那請你的人來對你說：『朋友，請上座。』那時，你在同席的人面前就有光彩了。
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
11因為，凡自高的，必降為卑；自卑的，必升為高。」
12Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
12耶穌又對請他的人說：「你擺設午飯或晚飯，不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親屬，和富足的鄰舍，恐怕他們也請你，你就得了報答。
13But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
13你擺設筵席，倒要請那貧窮的、殘廢的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的，你就有福了！
14and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
14因為他們沒有甚麼可報答你。到義人復活的時候，你要得着報答。」
15When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
15同席的有一人聽見這話，就對耶穌說：「在上帝國裏吃飯的有福了！」
16But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
16耶穌對他說：「有一人擺設大筵席，請了許多客。
17When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
17到了坐席的時候，打發僕人去對所請的人說：『請來吧！樣樣都齊備了。』
18But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
18眾人一口同音地推辭。頭一個說：『我買了一塊地，必須去看看。請你准我辭了。』
19Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
19又有一個說：『我買了五對牛，要去試一試。請你准我辭了。』
20Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
20又有一個說：『我才娶了妻，所以不能去。』
21The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
21那僕人回來，把這事都告訴了主人。家主就動怒，對僕人說：『快出去，到城裏大街小巷，領那貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的來。』
22‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
22僕人說：『主啊，你所吩咐的已經辦了，還有空座。』
23So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
23主人對僕人說：『你出去到路上和籬笆那裏，勉強人進來，坐滿我的屋子。
24For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
24我告訴你們，先前所請的人沒有一個得嘗我的筵席。』」
25Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
25有極多的人和耶穌同行。他轉過來對他們說：
26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
26「人到我這裏來，若不愛我勝過愛自己的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姊妹，和自己的性命，就不能作我的門徒。
27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
27凡不背着自己十字架跟從我的，也不能作我的門徒。
28Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
28你們哪一個要蓋一座樓，不先坐下算計花費，能蓋成不能呢？
29Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
29恐怕安了地基，不能成功，看見的人都笑話他，說：
30saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
30『這個人開了工，卻不能完工。』
31Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
31或是一個王出去和別的王打仗，豈不先坐下酌量，能用一萬兵去敵那領二萬兵來攻打他的嗎？
32And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
32若是不能，就趁敵人還遠的時候，派使者去求和息的條款。
33In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
33這樣，你們無論甚麼人，若不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的門徒。」
34Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
34「鹽本是好的；鹽若失了味，可用甚麼叫它再鹹呢？
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
35或用在田裏，或堆在糞裏，都不合式，只好丟在外面。有耳可聽的，就應當聽！」
