使徒行傳 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1從這日起， 耶路撒冷 的教會大遭逼迫，除了使徒以外，門徒都分散在 猶太 和 撒馬利亞 各處。
1And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
2有虔誠的人把 司提反 埋葬了，為他捶胸大哭。
2God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.
3掃羅 卻殘害教會，進各人的家，拉着男女下在監裏。
3But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
4那些分散的人往各處去傳道。
4Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
5腓利 下 撒馬利亞 城去，宣講基督。
5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.
6眾人聽見了，又看見 腓利 所行的神蹟，就同心合意地聽從他的話。
6The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.
7因為有許多人被污鬼附着，那些鬼大聲呼叫，從他們身上出來；還有許多癱瘓的、瘸腿的，都得了醫治。
7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.
8在那城裏，就大有歡喜。
8So there was great joy in that city.
9有一個人，名叫 西門 ，向來在那城裏行邪術，妄自尊大，使 撒馬利亞 的百姓驚奇；
9Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,
10無論大小都聽從他，說：「這人就是那稱為上帝的大能者。」
10and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”
11他們聽從他，因他久用邪術，使他們驚奇。
11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.
12及至他們信了 腓利 所傳上帝國的福音和耶穌基督的名，連男帶女就受了洗。
12But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13西門 自己也信了；既受了洗，就常與 腓利 在一處，看見他所行的神蹟和大異能，就甚驚奇。
13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.
14使徒在 耶路撒冷 聽見 撒馬利亞 人領受了上帝的道，就打發 彼得 、 約翰 往他們那裏去。
14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
15兩個人到了，就為他們禱告，要叫他們受聖靈。
15On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.
16因為聖靈還沒有降在他們一個人身上，他們只奉主耶穌的名受了洗。
16For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17於是使徒按手在他們 頭 上，他們就受了聖靈。
17Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18西門 看見使徒按手，便有聖靈賜下，就拿錢給使徒，
18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.
19說：「把這權柄也給我，叫我手按着誰，誰就可以受聖靈。」
19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20彼得 說：「你的銀子和你一同滅亡吧！因你想上帝的恩賜是可以用錢買的。
20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
21你在這道上無分無關；因為在上帝面前，你的心不正。
21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
22你當懊悔你這罪惡，祈求主，或者你心裏的意念可得赦免。
22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.
23我看出你正在苦膽之中，被罪惡捆綁。」
23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”
24西門 說：「願你們為我求主，叫你們所說的，沒有一樣臨到我身上。」
24Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25使徒既證明主道，而且傳講，就回 耶路撒冷 去，一路在 撒馬利亞 好些村莊傳揚福音。
25And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.
26有主的一個使者對 腓利 說：「起來！向南走，往那從 耶路撒冷 下 迦薩 的路上去。」那路是曠野。
26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
27腓利 就起身去了，不料，有一個 衣索匹亞 人，是個有大權的太監，在 衣索匹亞 女王 甘大基 的手下總管銀庫，他上 耶路撒冷 禮拜去了。
27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
28現在回來，在車上坐着，念先知 以賽亞 的書。
28and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
29聖靈對 腓利 說：「你去！貼近那車走。」
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.”
30腓利 就跑到太監那裏，聽見他念先知 以賽亞 的書，便問他說：「你所念的，你明白嗎？」
30So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31他說：「沒有人指教我，怎能明白呢？」於是請 腓利 上車，與他同坐。
31“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32他所念的那段經，說： 他像羊被牽到宰殺之地， 又像羊羔在剪毛的人手下無聲； 他也是這樣不開口。
32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
33他卑微的時候， 人不按公義審判他； 誰能述說他的世代？ 因為他的生命從地上奪去。
33In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”
34太監對 腓利 說：「請問，先知說這話是指着誰？是指着自己呢？是指着別人呢？」
34“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
35腓利 就開口從這經上起，對他傳講耶穌。
35Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36二人正往前走，到了有水的地方，太監說：「看哪，這裏有水，我受洗有甚麼妨礙呢？」
36As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”
38於是吩咐車站住， 腓利 和太監二人同下水裏去， 腓利 就給他施洗。
38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39從水裏上來，主的靈把 腓利 提了去，太監也不再見他了，就歡歡喜喜地走路。
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
40後來有人在 亞鎖都 遇見 腓利 ；他走遍那地方，在各城宣傳福音，直到 凱撒利亞 。
40But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
