Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
1當時，門徒進前來，問耶穌說：「天國裏誰是最大的？」
2And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
2耶穌便叫一個小孩子來，使他站在他們當中，
3And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
3說：「我實在告訴你們，你們若不回轉，變成小孩子的樣式，斷不得進天國。
4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
4所以，凡自己謙卑像這小孩子的，他在天國裏就是最大的。
5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
5凡為我的名接待一個像這小孩子的，就是接待我。」
6But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.
6「凡使這信我的一個小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在這人的頸項上，沉在深海裏。
7Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.
7這世界有禍了，因為將人絆倒；絆倒人的事是免不了的，但那絆倒人的有禍了！
8And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.
8倘若你一隻手，或是一隻腳，叫你跌倒，就砍下來丟掉。你缺一隻手，或是一隻腳，進入永生，強如有兩手兩腳被丟在永火裏。
9And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
9倘若你一隻眼叫你跌倒，就把它剜出來丟掉。你只有一隻眼進入 永 生，強如有兩隻眼被丟在地獄的火裏。」
10See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
10「你們要小心，不可輕看這小子裏的一個；我告訴你們，他們的使者在天上，常見我天父的面。
11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
no verse 11 in this text
12What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?
12一個人若有一百隻羊，一隻走迷了路，你們的意思如何？他豈不撇下這九十九隻，往山裏去找那隻迷路的羊嗎？
13And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.
13若是找着了，我實在告訴你們，他為這一隻羊歡喜，比為那沒有迷路的九十九隻歡喜還大呢！
14Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
14你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裏失喪一個。」
15But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
15「倘若你的弟兄得罪你，你就去，趁着只有他和你在一處的時候，指出他的錯來。他若聽你，你便得了你的弟兄；
16And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.
16他若不聽，你就另外帶一兩個人同去，要憑兩三個人的口作見證，句句都可定準。
17And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
17若是不聽他們，就告訴教會；若是不聽教會，就看他像外邦人和稅吏一樣。
18Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.
18「我實在告訴你們，凡你們在地上所捆綁的，在天上也要捆綁；凡你們在地上所釋放的，在天上也要釋放。
19Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
19我又告訴你們，若是你們中間有兩個人在地上同心合意地求甚麼事，我在天上的父必為他們成全。
20For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
20因為無論在哪裏，有兩三個人奉我的名聚會，那裏就有我在他們中間。」
21Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
21那時， 彼得 進前來，對耶穌說：「主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？」
22Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
22耶穌說：「我對你說，不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次。
23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
23天國好像一個王要和他僕人算帳。
24And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
24才算的時候，有人帶了一個欠一千萬銀子的來。
25And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
25因為他沒有甚麼償還之物，主人吩咐把他和他妻子兒女，並一切所有的都賣了償還。
26But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
26那僕人就俯伏拜他，說：『主啊，寬容我，將來我都要還清。』
27And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
27那僕人的主人就動了慈心，把他釋放了，並且免了他的債。
28But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
28「那僕人出來，遇見他的一個同伴欠他十兩銀子，便揪着他，掐住他的喉嚨，說：『你把所欠的還我！』
29And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
29他的同伴就俯伏央求他，說：『寬容我吧，將來我必還清。』
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
30他不肯，竟去把他下在監裏，等他還了所欠的債。
31Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
31眾同伴看見他所做的事就甚憂愁，去把這事都告訴了主人。
32Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
32於是主人叫了他來，對他說：『你這惡奴才！你央求我，我就把你所欠的都免了，
33Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
33你不應當憐恤你的同伴，像我憐恤你嗎？』
34And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
34主人就大怒，把他交給掌刑的，等他還清了所欠的債。
35So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
35你們各人若不從心裏饒恕你的弟兄，我天父也要這樣待你們了。」
