¹葡萄园工人的比喻

¹`For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,

²他和工人讲定了一天的工钱是一个银币，然后派他们到葡萄园去。

²and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

³大约九点钟，他又出去，看见还有人闲站在街市上，

³`And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle,

⁴就对他们说：‘你们也到葡萄园来吧，我会给你们合理的工钱。’

⁴and to these he said, Go ye — also ye — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you;

⁵他们就去了。约在正午和下午三点钟，他又出去，也是这样作。

⁵and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.

⁶下午五点钟左右，他再出去，看见还有人站着，就问他们：‘你们为什么整天站在这里不去作工？’

⁶And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle?

⁷他们回答：‘没有人用我们。’他说：‘你们也到葡萄园来吧。’

⁷they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye — ye also — to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.

⁸到了黄昏，园主对管工说：‘把工人叫来，给他们工钱，从最后的开始，到最先来的。’

⁸`And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last — unto the first.

⁹那些下午五点钟才开始作工的人来了，每个人都领到一个银币。

⁹And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.

¹⁰最先作工的人也来了，以为会多得一点，但每个人也是领到一个银币。

¹⁰`And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,

¹¹他们领到之后，就埋怨家主，说：

¹¹and having received [it], they were murmuring against the householder, saying,

¹²‘我们整天在烈日之下劳苦，这些后来的人只工作了一个小时，你却给他们跟我们一样的工钱。’

¹²that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day — and the heat.

¹³家主回答他们当中的一个，说：‘朋友，我并没有亏待你。你我不是讲定了一个银币吗？

¹³`And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with me?

¹⁴拿你的工钱走吧！我给那后来的和给你的一样，是我的主意。

¹⁴take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee;

¹⁵难道我不可以照自己的主意用我的财物吗？还是因为我仁慈你就嫉妒呢？’

¹⁵is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is thine eye evil because I am good?

¹⁶因此，在后的将要在前，在前的将要在后。”

¹⁶So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.`

¹⁷第三次预言受难及复活（可10:32-34；路18:31-34）耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候，把十二门徒带到一边，对他们说：

¹⁷And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,

¹⁸“我们现在上耶路撒冷去，人子要被交给祭司长和经学家，他们要定他死罪，

¹⁸`Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes,

¹⁹把他交给外族人凌辱、鞭打，并且钉在十字架上。然而第三天他要复活。”

¹⁹and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.`

²⁰不是要人服事而是要服事人（可10:35-45）那时，西庇太的儿子的母亲，带着她的两个儿子前来见耶稣。她跪在耶稣面前求他。

²⁰Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him,

²¹耶稣问她：“你想要什么？”她说：“求你下令，使我这两个儿子在你的国里，一个坐在你的右边，一个坐在你的左边。”

²¹and he said to her, `What wilt thou?` She saith to him, `Say, that they may sit — these my two sons — one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.`

²²耶稣回答：“你们不知道你们求的是什么。我将要喝的杯，你们能喝吗？”他们说：“能。”

²²And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?` They say to him, `We are able.`

²³他对他们说：“我的杯你们固然要喝，只是坐在我的左右，不是我可以赐的；我父预备赐给谁，就赐给谁。”

²³And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.`

²⁴其他十个门徒听见了，就向他们兄弟二人生气。

²⁴And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,

²⁵耶稣把他们叫过来，说：“你们知道各国都有元首统治他们，也有官长管辖他们。

²⁵and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them,

²⁶但你们中间却不要这样；谁想在你们中间成为大的，就要作你们的仆役；

²⁶but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant;

²⁷谁想在你们中间为首的，就要作你们的奴仆。

²⁷and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant;

²⁸正如人子来，不是要受人的服事，而是要服事人，并且要舍命，作许多人的赎价。”

²⁸even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.`

²⁹治好瞎眼的人（可10:46-52；路18:35-43）他们从耶利哥出来的时候，有许多人跟着耶稣。

²⁹And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,

³⁰有两个瞎眼的人坐在路旁，听说耶稣经过，就喊叫：“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！”

³⁰and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us, sir — Son of David.`

³¹群众责备他们，叫他们不要出声，他们却更加放声喊叫：“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我们吧！”

³¹And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir — Son of David.`

³²耶稣就站住，叫他们过来，说：“要我为你们作什么呢？”

³²And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, `What will ye [that] I may do to you?`

³³他们说：“主啊，求你开我们的眼睛。”

³³they say to him, `Sir, that our eyes may be opened;`

³⁴耶稣就怜悯他们，摸他们的眼睛。他们立刻能看见，就跟从了耶稣。

³⁴and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
