路加福音 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1提阿非羅 大人哪，有好些人提筆作書，述說在我們中間所成就的事，是照傳道的人從起初親眼看見又傳給我們的。
1Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
no verse 2 in this text
2just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3這些事我既從起頭都詳細考察了，就定意要按着次序寫給你，
3Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4使你知道所學之道都是確實的。
4so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
5當 猶太 王 希律 的時候， 亞比雅 班裏有一個祭司，名叫 撒迦利亞 ；他妻子是 亞倫 的後人，名叫 伊利莎白 。
5In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.
6他們二人在上帝面前都是義人，遵行主的一切誡命禮儀，沒有可指摘的，
6Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
7只是沒有孩子；因為 伊利莎白 不生育，兩個人又年紀老邁了。
7But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8撒迦利亞 按班次在上帝面前供祭司的職分，
8One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9照祭司的規矩掣籤，得進主殿燒香。
9he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10燒香的時候，眾百姓在外面禱告。
10And at the hour of the incense offering, the whole congregation was praying outside.
11有主的使者站在香壇的右邊，向他顯現。
11Just then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12撒迦利亞 看見，就驚慌害怕。
12When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear.
13天使對他說：「 撒迦利亞 ，不要害怕，因為你的祈禱已經被聽見了。你的妻子 伊利莎白 要給你生一個兒子，你要給他起名叫 約翰 。
13But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
14你必歡喜快樂；有許多人因他出世，也必喜樂。
14He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
15他在主面前將要為大，淡酒濃酒都不喝，從母腹裏就被聖靈充滿了。
15for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb.
16他要使許多 以色列 人回轉，歸於主－他們的上帝。
16Many of the sons of Israel he will turn back to the Lord their God.
17他必有 以利亞 的心志能力，行在主的前面，叫為父的心轉向兒女，叫悖逆的人轉從義人的智慧，又為主預備合用的百姓。」
17And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
18撒迦利亞 對天使說：「我憑着甚麼可知道這事呢？我已經老了，我的妻子也年紀老邁了。」
18“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “I am an old man, and my wife is well along in years.”
19天使回答說：「我是站在上帝面前的 加百列 ，奉差而來對你說話，將這好信息報給你。
19“I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20到了時候，這話必然應驗；只因你不信，你必啞巴，不能說話，直到這事成就的日子。」
20And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
21百姓等候 撒迦利亞 ，詫異他許久在殿裏。
21Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
22及至他出來，不能和他們說話，他們就知道他在殿裏見了異象；因為他直向他們打手式，竟成了啞巴。
22When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless.
23他供職的日子已滿，就回家去了。
23And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
24這些日子以後，他的妻子 伊利莎白 懷了孕，就隱藏了五個月，
24After these days, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. She declared,
25說：「主在眷顧我的日子，這樣看待我，要把我在人間的羞恥除掉。」
25“The Lord has done this for me. In these days He has shown me favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
26到了第六個月，天使 加百列 奉上帝的差遣往 加利利 的一座城去（這城名叫 拿撒勒 ），
26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27到一個童女那裏，是已經許配 大衛 家的一個人，名叫 約瑟 。童女的名字叫 馬利亞 ；
27to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
28天使進去，對她說：「蒙大恩的女子，我問你安，主和你同在了！」
28The angel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29馬利亞 因這話就很驚慌，又反覆思想這樣問安是甚麼意思。
29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30天使對她說：「 馬利亞 ，不要怕！你在上帝面前已經蒙恩了。
30So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31你要懷孕生子，可以給他起名叫耶穌。
31Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus.
32他要為大，稱為至高者的兒子；主上帝要把他祖 大衛 的位給他。
32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
33他要作 雅各 家的王，直到永遠；他的國也沒有窮盡。」
33and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
34馬利亞 對天使說：「我沒有出嫁，怎麼有這事呢？」
34“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35天使回答說：「聖靈要臨到你身上，至高者的能力要蔭庇你，因此所要生的聖者必稱為上帝的兒子 。
35The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.
36況且你的親戚 伊利莎白 ，在年老的時候也懷了男胎，就是那素來稱為不生育的，現在有孕六個月了。
36Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.
37因為，出於上帝的話，沒有一句不帶能力的。」
37For no word from God will ever fail.”
38馬利亞 說：「我是主的使女，情願照你的話成就在我身上。」天使就離開她去了。
38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
39那時候， 馬利亞 起身，急忙往山地裏去，來到 猶大 的一座城；
39In those days Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah,
40進了 撒迦利亞 的家，問 伊利莎白 安。
40where she entered the home of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41伊利莎白 一聽 馬利亞 問安，所懷的胎就在腹裏跳動。 伊利莎白 且被聖靈充滿，
41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42高聲喊着說：「你在婦女中是有福的！你所懷的胎也是有福的！
42In a loud voice she exclaimed, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43我主的母到我這裏來，這是從哪裏得的呢？
43And why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44因為你問安的聲音一入我耳，我腹裏的胎就歡喜跳動。
44For as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45這相信的女子是有福的！因為主對她所說的話都要應驗。」
45Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord’s word to her will be fulfilled.”
46馬利亞 說： 我心尊主為大；
46Then Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47我靈以上帝我的救主為樂；
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
48因為他顧念他使女的卑微； 從今以後， 萬代要稱我有福。
48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.
49那有權能的，為我成就了大事； 他的名為聖。
49For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name.
50他憐憫敬畏他的人， 直到世世代代。
50His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.
51他用膀臂施展大能； 那狂傲的人正心裏妄想就被他趕散了。
51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52他叫有權柄的失位， 叫卑賤的升高；
52He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble.
53叫飢餓的得飽美食， 叫富足的空手回去。
53He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
54他扶助了他的僕人 以色列 ，
54He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful,
55為要記念 亞伯拉罕 和他的後裔， 施憐憫直到永遠， 正如從前對我們列祖所說的話。
55as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
56馬利亞 和 伊利莎白 同住，約有三個月，就回家去了。
56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
57伊利莎白 的產期到了，就生了一個兒子。
57When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.
58鄰里親族聽見主向她大施憐憫，就和她一同歡樂。
58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
59到了第八日，他們來要給孩子行割禮，並要照他父親的名字叫他 撒迦利亞 。
59On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
60他母親說：「不可！要叫他 約翰 。」
60But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
61他們說：「你親族中沒有叫這名字的。」
61They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
62他們就向他父親打手式，問他要叫這孩子甚麼名字。
62So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
63他要了一塊寫字的板，就寫上，說：「他的名字是 約翰 。」他們便都希奇。
63Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64撒迦利亞 的口立時開了，舌頭也 舒展了 ，就說出話來，稱頌上帝。
64Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.
65周圍居住的人都懼怕；這一切的事就傳遍了 猶太 的山地。
65All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.
66凡聽見的人都將這事放在心裏，說：「這個孩子將來怎麼樣呢？因為有主與他同在。」
66And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
67他父親 撒迦利亞 被聖靈充滿了，就預言說：
67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68主－ 以色列 的上帝是應當稱頌的！ 因他眷顧他的百姓，為他們施行救贖，
68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and redeemed His people.
69在他僕人 大衛 家中， 為我們興起了拯救的角，
69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
70正如主藉着從創世以來聖先知的口所說的話，
70as He spoke through His holy prophets, those of ages past,
71拯救我們脫離仇敵 和一切恨我們之人的手，
71salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us,
72向我們列祖施憐憫， 記念他的聖約－
72to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
73就是他對我們祖宗 亞伯拉罕 所起的誓－
73the oath He swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74叫我們既從仇敵手中被救出來，
74deliverance from hostile hands, that we may serve Him without fear,
75就可以終身在他面前， 坦然無懼地用聖潔、公義事奉他。
75in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our lives.
76孩子啊！你要稱為至高者的先知； 因為你要行在主的前面， 預備他的道路，
76And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
77叫他的百姓因罪得赦， 就知道救恩。
77to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78因我們上帝憐憫的心腸， 叫清晨的日光從高天臨到我們，
78because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
79要照亮坐在黑暗中死蔭裏的人， 把我們的腳引到平安的路上。
79to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80那孩子漸漸長大，心靈強健，住在曠野，直到他顯明在 以色列 人面前的日子。
80And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the time of his public appearance to Israel.
