哥林多後書 12
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1我自誇固然無益，但我是不得已的。如今我要說到主的顯現和啟示。
1If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed), but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2我認得一個在基督裏的人，他前十四年被提到第三層天上去；（或在身內，我不知道；或在身外，我也不知道；只有上帝知道。）
2I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven.
3我認得這人；（或在身內，或在身外，我都不知道，只有上帝知道。）
3And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth),
4他被提到樂園裏，聽見隱祕的言語，是人不可說的。
4That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter.
5為這人，我要誇口；但是為我自己，除了 我的 軟弱以外，我並不誇口。
5For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities.
6我就是願意誇口也不算狂，因為我必說實話；只是我禁止不說，恐怕有人把我看高了，過於他在我身上所看見、所聽見的。
6For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.
7又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大，就過於自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉體上，就是撒但的差役要攻擊我，免得我過於自高。
7And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.
8為這事，我三次求過主，叫這刺離開我。
8For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.
9他對我說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。
9And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10我為基督的緣故，就以軟弱、凌辱、急難、逼迫、困苦為可喜樂的；因我甚麼時候軟弱，甚麼時候就剛強了。
10For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.
11我成了愚妄人，是被你們強逼的。我本該被你們稱許才是。我雖算不了甚麼，卻沒有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。
11I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.
12我在你們中間，用百般的忍耐，藉着神蹟、奇事、異能顯出使徒的憑據來。
12Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13除了我不累着你們這一件事，你們還有甚麼事不及別的教會呢？這不公之處，求你們饒恕我吧。
13For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.
14如今，我打算第三次到你們那裏去，也必不累着你們；因我所求的是你們，不是你們的 財物 。兒女不該為父母積財，父母該為兒女積財。
14Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15我也甘心樂意為你們的靈魂費財費力。難道我越發愛你們，就越發少得你們的愛嗎？
15But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.
16罷了，我自己並沒有累着你們， 你們卻有人說 ，我是詭詐，用心計牢籠你們。
16But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile.
17我所差到你們那裏去的人，我藉着他們一個人佔過你們的便宜嗎？
17Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you?
18我勸了 提多 到你們那裏去 ，又差那位兄弟與他同去。 提多 佔過你們的便宜嗎？我們行事，不同是一個心靈嗎？不同是一個腳蹤嗎？
18I desired Titus, and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? did we not in the same steps?
19你們到如今，還想我們是向你們分訴；我們本是在基督裏當上帝面前說話。親愛的 弟兄 啊，一切的事都是為造就你們。
19Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.
20我怕我再來的時候，見你們不合我所想望的，你們見我也不合你們所想望的；又怕有紛爭、嫉妒、惱怒、結黨、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、混亂的事。
20For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.
21且怕我來的時候，我的上帝叫我在你們面前慚愧，又因許多人從前犯罪，行污穢、姦淫、邪蕩的事不肯悔改，我就憂愁。
21Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.
