¹拉撒路死了

¹And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

²这马利亚就是后来用香膏抹主，并且用头发把主的脚擦干的那人；患病的拉撒路是她的兄弟。

²and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

³姊妹二人派人到耶稣那里去，说：“主啊，你所爱的人病了。”

³therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;`

⁴耶稣听见，就说：“这病不至于死，而是为了　神的荣耀，使　神的儿子因此得到荣耀。”

⁴and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.`

⁵耶稣向来爱马大和她的妹妹马利亚，以及拉撒路。

⁵And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁶他听说拉撒路病了，仍然在原来的地方住了两天，

⁶when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁷然后对门徒说：“我们再到犹太去吧。”

⁷then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;`

⁸门徒对他说：“拉比，近来犹太人要拿石头打你，你还到那里去吗？”

⁸the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!`

⁹耶稣说：“白昼不是有十二小时吗？人若在白昼行走，就不会跌倒，因为他看见这世上的光；

⁹Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

¹⁰人若在夜间行走，就会跌倒，因为他没有光。”

¹⁰and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.`

¹¹耶稣说完了这些话，跟着又对他们说：“我们的朋友拉撒路睡了，我要去唤醒他。”

¹¹These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;`

¹²门徒说：“主啊，如果他睡了，就会好过来的。”

¹²therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;`

¹³其实耶稣是指着拉撒路的死说的，门徒却以为他是指正常的睡眠说的。

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹⁴于是，耶稣公开地告诉他们：“拉撒路死了。

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁵我为你们欢喜，因为我不在那里，是要使你们相信。现在我们到他那里去吧。”

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;`

¹⁶那称为“双生子”的多马，对其他的门徒说：“我们也去跟他一同死吧！”

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,`

¹⁷耶稣是复活是生命耶稣到了，知道拉撒路在坟墓里已经四天了。

¹⁷Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁸伯大尼靠近耶路撒冷，相距约有三公里。

¹⁸And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁹有许多犹太人来到马大和马利亚那里，为了拉撒路的死来安慰她们。

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

²⁰马大听见耶稣来了，就去迎接他，马利亚却仍然坐在家里。

²⁰Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

²¹马大对耶稣说：“主啊，如果你早在这里，我的兄弟就不会死了！

²¹Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²²就是现在，我也知道无论你向　神求什么，　神必赐给你。”

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;`

²³耶稣对她说：“你的兄弟必会复活。”

²³Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.`

²⁴马大说：“我知道在末日复活的时候，他必会复活。”

²⁴Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;`

²⁵耶稣说：“我就是复活和生命；信我的人，虽然死了，也要活着。

²⁵Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁶所有活着又信我的人，必定永远不死，你信这话吗？”

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁷她说：“主啊，我信；我已经信了，你是基督，是　神的儿子，是那要到世上来的。”

²⁷believest thou this?` she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.`

²⁸耶稣使拉撒路复活马大说了这些话，就回去暗暗地叫她妹妹马利亚，说：“老师来了，他叫你。”

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;`

²⁹马利亚一听见，就急忙起来，到耶稣那里去。

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

³⁰那时，耶稣还没有进入村子，仍然在马大迎接他的地方。

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³¹那些在房子和马利亚在一起安慰她的犹太人，见她匆忙地起来出去，就跟着她，以为她要到坟墓那里去哭。

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.`

³²马利亚来到耶稣那里，一看见他，就俯伏在他脚前，说：“主啊，如果你早在这里，我的兄弟就不会死了！”

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;`

³³耶稣看见她在哭，和她一同来的犹太人也在哭，就心里激动，难过起来，

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³⁴说：“你们把他安放在哪里？”他们说：“主啊，请来看。”

³⁴`Where have ye laid him?` they say to him, `Sir, come and see;`

³⁵耶稣哭了。

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶于是犹太人说：“你看，他多么爱这个人！”

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!`

³⁷他们中间有人说：“他既然开了瞎子的眼睛，难道不能使这个人不死吗？”

³⁷and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?`

³⁸耶稣又再心里激动，来到坟墓前面。那坟墓是一个洞穴，洞口有块石头堵住。

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁹耶稣说：“把这块石头挪开！”死者的姊姊马大对他说：“主啊，已经四天了，他必定臭了。”

³⁹Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;` the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;`

⁴⁰耶稣说：“我不是对你说过‘如果你信，就必定看见　神的荣耀’吗？”

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?`

⁴¹于是他们把石头挪开。耶稣举目向天，说：“父啊，我感谢你，因为你垂听了我，

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

⁴²我知道你常常听我，但我说这话，是为了周围站着的群众，叫他们信是你差了我来。”

⁴²and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.`

⁴³说了这话，就大声呼喊：“拉撒路，出来！”

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;`

⁴⁴那死了的人就出来，他的手脚都缠着布，脸上裹着巾。耶稣说：“解开他，让他走！”

⁴⁴and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.`

⁴⁵祭司长等想杀害耶稣有许多到马利亚那里去的犹太人，看见了耶稣所作的事，就信了他。

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁶但他们中间有些人到法利赛人那里去，把耶稣所作的事都告诉他们。

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁷于是祭司长和法利赛人召开公议会，说：“这个人行了许多神迹，我们怎么办呢？

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁸我们若让他这样，所有的人都会信他，罗马人就会来，夺取我们的圣地，除灭我们的民族。”

⁴⁸if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.`

⁴⁹他们当中有一位该亚法，是那年作大祭司的，对他们说：“你们什么都不知道，

⁴⁹and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁵⁰也不去想想，一个人代替人民死，免得整个民族灭亡，这对你们是有益的。”

⁵⁰nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.`

⁵¹他说这话不是由于自己，而是因为他是那年的大祭司，所以预言耶稣要替犹太民族死；

⁵¹And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵²不但替犹太民族死，也要把散居各地的　神的儿女招聚成为一体。

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

⁵³从那天起，他们就想杀害耶稣。

⁵³From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

⁵⁴因此，耶稣不再在犹太人中间公开活动，却离开那里，到旷野附近的地方去；到了一座名叫以法莲的城，就和门徒住在那里。

⁵⁴Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

⁵⁵犹太人的逾越节快到了，有许多人在过节前从各乡上耶路撒冷去，要在那里洁净自己。

⁵⁵And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

⁵⁶他们到处找寻耶稣，站在圣殿里的时候，彼此说：“你们认为怎样？他不会来过节吧？”

⁵⁶they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?`

⁵⁷祭司长和法利赛人早已下了命令：如果有人知道耶稣在哪里，就要前来报告，好去逮捕他。

⁵⁷and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.
