路加福音 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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。
1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
no verse 2 in this text
2According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers 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，
3It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4使你知道所學之道都是確實的。
4That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
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 。
5There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
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，
6And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
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。
7And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
8撒迦利亞 按班次在上帝面前供祭司的職分，
8And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
9照祭司的規矩掣籤，得進主殿燒香。
9According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
10燒香的時候，眾百姓在外面禱告。
10And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
11有主的使者站在香壇的右邊，向他顯現。
11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
12撒迦利亞 看見，就驚慌害怕。
12And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
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: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
14你必歡喜快樂；有許多人因他出世，也必喜樂。
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
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 shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, 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。
16And he shall convert many of the children of Israel 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 shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
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。」
18And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced 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。
19And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
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 behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21百姓等候 撒迦利亞 ，詫異他許久在殿裏。
21And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried 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。
22And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
23他供職的日子已滿，就回家去了。
23And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
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，
24And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
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。」
25Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
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 ），
26And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of 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 espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, 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！」
28And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
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。
29Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30天使對她說：「 馬利亞 ，不要怕！你在上帝面前已經蒙恩了。
30And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
31你要懷孕生子，可以給他起名叫耶穌。
31Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his 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 shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
33他要作 雅各 家的王，直到永遠；他的國也沒有窮盡。」
33And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34馬利亞 對天使說：「我沒有出嫁，怎麼有這事呢？」
34And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
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 。
35And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall 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。
36And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
37因為，出於上帝的話，沒有一句不帶能力的。」
37Because no word shall be impossible with God.
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。
38And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from 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；
39And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
40進了 撒迦利亞 的家，問 伊利莎白 安。
40And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted 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，
41And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
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！
42And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43我主的母到我這裏來，這是從哪裏得的呢？
43And whence is this to me, 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 behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant 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。」
45And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
46馬利亞 說： 我心尊主為大；
46And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
47我靈以上帝我的救主為樂；
47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48因為他顧念他使女的卑微； 從今以後， 萬代要稱我有福。
48Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49那有權能的，為我成就了大事； 他的名為聖。
49Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
50他憐憫敬畏他的人， 直到世世代代。
50And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
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 hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
52他叫有權柄的失位， 叫卑賤的升高；
52He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
53叫飢餓的得飽美食， 叫富足的空手回去。
53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54他扶助了他的僕人 以色列 ，
54He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
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 spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
56馬利亞 和 伊利莎白 同住，約有三個月，就回家去了。
56And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
57伊利莎白 的產期到了，就生了一個兒子。
57Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
58鄰里親族聽見主向她大施憐憫，就和她一同歡樂。
58And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated 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 。
59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary.
60他母親說：「不可！要叫他 約翰 。」
60And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
61他們說：「你親族中沒有叫這名字的。」
61And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62他們就向他父親打手式，問他要叫這孩子甚麼名字。
62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
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。
63And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
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。
64And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing 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。
65And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
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 they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67他父親 撒迦利亞 被聖靈充滿了，就預言說：
67And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
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，
68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
69在他僕人 大衛 家中， 為我們興起了拯救的角，
69And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
70正如主藉着從創世以來聖先知的口所說的話，
70As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
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 that hate us:
72向我們列祖施憐憫， 記念他的聖約－
72To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
73就是他對我們祖宗 亞伯拉罕 所起的誓－
73The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
74叫我們既從仇敵手中被救出來，
74That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, 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 justice before him, all our days.
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 thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
77叫他的百姓因罪得赦， 就知道救恩。
77To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission 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，
78Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
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 enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way 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 was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
