路 加 福 音 1
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
路加记述耶稣的生平
1 尊敬的提阿非罗大人,在我之前,曾有很多人尝试过要报道发生在我们中间的事。 2 这些事与人们告诉我们的情形是一致的,告诉我们这些事的人们,从一开始就亲眼目睹了这些事,他们也曾做过向人们传播上帝信息的工作。 3 我也认为这个意图很好,所以我对每件事都从头进行了仔细的调查,然后按次序写成了报告,呈献给您。 4 我这么做是为了让您知道报告给您的事情都是真实的。
天使宣告约翰的出生
5 在希律统治犹太的时候,亚比雅分支 [a]有个祭司,名字叫撒迦利亚。撒迦利亚的妻子,叫伊利莎白,是亚伦家族的后代。 6 他们俩人在上帝的眼里都是正直的人,他们总是全心全意地执行着主的一切诫命和指示,从无过失。 7 但是他们没有孩子,因为伊利莎白不能生育,并且他们已经很老了。
8 当轮到撒迦利亚分支在主的殿堂里供职时,撒迦利亚在上帝面前担任祭司的职务, 9 按照祭司们遵循的规矩,以抽签的方式,他被选中去主的大殿烧香。 10 当撒迦利亚烧香的时候,所有的人都聚集在外面祈祷着。 11 这时,主的一个天使出现在撒迦利亚面前,伫立在香坛的右侧。 12 当撒迦利亚看见这个天使时,非常不安,恐惧极了, 13 天使却对他说∶“撒迦利亚,不要害怕,主听到了你的祈祷,所以你的妻子伊利莎白将给你生一个儿子,你要给他起名叫约翰, 14 他将给你们带来幸福和快乐。他出生时,将会有很多人欢喜, 15 因为他在主的眼里将是伟大的。他必须滴酒不沾,从他一出生,就充满了圣灵。
16 约翰将使众多的以色列人重归主—他们的上帝。 17 他将具有以利亚一样的灵和力量,他将走在主的面前,使父子和平相处,使叛逆者回到被人们认为是正确的道路上来,使人们为主的到来做好准备。”
18 撒迦利亚对天使说∶“我怎么知道你所说的话是真的呢?我和我的妻子都是上年纪的人了。” 19 天使回答说∶“我是侍立在上帝面前的天使加百列,受上帝的派遣来告诉你这个喜讯的, 20 但是,你要记住,因为你不相信我的话,你将变成哑巴,直到这一切发生的那天,你才能重新讲话。”
21 此时,人们都在外面等待着撒迦利亚,他们都不明白为什么撒迦利亚在大殿里面呆了这么久。 22 当撒迦利亚出来时,竟不能对人们讲话了,人们意识到他在大殿里看到了异象,既然撒迦利亚说不出话来,他只好向大家打手势示意。 23 等到在大殿里供职的日期一到,他便回家去了。
24 过了一段时间,他的妻子伊利莎白怀孕了。她隐居在家,五个月没出门,她说: 25 “主终于在这方面帮助了我,他对我的垂爱洗刷了我在众人面前的耻辱 [b]。”
天使宣告耶稣的降生
29 但是,马利亚因为天使的话而感到惶恐不安,不明白这问候到底意味着什么。
30 天使又对他说∶“别害怕,马利亚,你受到了上帝的恩宠。 31 听着,你就要怀孕生子,你要给他取名叫耶稣。 32 他将是个伟大的人,他将被称为至高无上的上帝之子。主上帝将把他的祖先-大卫 [c]的宝座赐给他, 33 他将永远统治雅各的臣民,他的王国将永不终止。”
34 马利亚对天使说,“可是,怎么可能发生这样的事情呢?我还是个处女呢!”
35 天使回答道∶“圣灵就要降临到你的身上,至高无上的上帝的力量将庇荫着你,因此,那降生的圣婴将被称为上帝之子。 36 听着,你的亲戚伊利莎白虽然已到高龄,而且人们又都说她不能生育,可是,现在她已经怀孕六个月了。 37 上帝是无所不能的。”
38 马利亚说∶“我是主的仆人,愿你的话在我身上应验。”然后天使便离开了。
马利亚看望撒迦利亚和伊利莎白
39 马利亚起身,急匆匆去了山区,到了犹太地区的一座小镇。 40 她走进撒迦利亚的家,问候伊利莎白。 41 当伊利莎白听到马利亚的问候时,腹中的胎儿便动了起来,此时伊利莎白充满了圣灵。
42 她高声说道∶“你是所有女人中最受恩赐的人,那将要出生的孩子也是有福的。 43 可是,为什么我主的母亲前来探望我呢?为什么这样伟大的事情会发生在我的身上呢? 44 我刚才一听到你的问候,我腹中的胎儿就动了起来。 45 你是有福的,因为你相信主对你说的事情会发生。”
马利亚赞美上帝
46 这时,马利亚说:
47 “我的灵赞美我主,
我的心因为上帝—我的救世主而喜悦,
48 因为他对他卑微的仆人表示了关怀,
从今以后,所有的人都将说我受到了祝福,
49 因为强大的主成全了我的大事。
他的名字是神圣的。
50 他将赐怜悯给世世代代敬畏他的人们,
51 他显示了他臂膀的力量,
他驱逐了自以为了不起的骄傲之人;
52 他把君王们拉下了宝座,
他扶起了卑微的人;
53 他让挨饿的人饱餐美食,
他使富足的人们两手空空地离去。
54 他来扶助他的仆人以色列,
55 他信守对我们的祖先许下的诺言,
不忘施怜悯于亚伯拉罕和他的子孙,直到永远。”
56 马利亚在伊利莎白那里住了三个月左右,然后回家去了。
约翰的出生
57 伊利莎白的产期到了,她生下一个男孩。 58 当她的亲友和邻居们听说主赐给了她这么大的怜悯时,都来分享她的欢乐。
59 孩子出生的第八天,他们就给婴儿行了割礼,并要随他父亲的名字给他取名叫撒迦利亚, 60 但是,他的母亲却说∶“不,要叫他约翰。”
61 亲友们对她说∶“你的亲戚里面没有一个人叫这个名字的。” 62 然后,他们又向孩子的父亲打手势,问他想给孩子取个什么名字。
63 撒迦利亚要来一块写字板,在上面写道∶“他的名字叫约翰。”人们看后十分惊讶, 64 就在这时,撒迦利亚的嘴张开了,舌头也舒展了,他开口讲话,并开始赞美上帝。 65 邻居们却充满敬畏,整个犹太地区的人们都对此事议论纷纷。 66 所有听到这件事情的人都禁不住猜想∶“这个孩子将来会成为什么样的人呢?”因为,显然主的力量与他同在。
撒迦利亚赞美上帝
67 此时,孩子的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满,他预言说:
68 “赞美归于主,以色列的上帝!
因为他来帮助他的子民,赐给他们自由;
69 主从他的仆人大卫家里,为我们选派了强有力的拯救者。
70 按照他借生活在很久以前神圣的先知之口做出的许诺,
71 把我们从敌人和仇视我们的人的手中拯救出来,
72 并对我们的祖先施以怜悯,牢记他的圣约,
73 那是他对我们的祖先,亚伯拉罕发的誓言:
74 让我们脱离敌人之手,使我们坦然无惧地侍奉他;
75 并使我们在他面前终身神圣和正义。
76 那么,你,我的孩子,将被称为至尊上帝的先知,
因为你将走在主的前面,
为他准备道路;
77 让他们知道他们通过宽恕而得救,
他们将因此得救,
78 由于我们的上帝的仁慈,
79 新的一天将从天堂降临到我们身上,
普照生活在死亡的阴影里的人们;
并引导我们的步伐走向和平的道路。”
80 就这样,孩子渐渐地成长着,身体和心灵越来越强壮。在向以色列人公开传道前,他一直居住在人烟稀少的地方。

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
献给提阿费罗
1 提阿费罗大人哪,既然有许多人着手编录关于在我们中间所成就的事, 2 就是照着从起初以来的目击者和做福音[a]仆人的那些人所传给我们的, 3 我也已经从头仔细地追踪了这一切,我就认为应该按着次序写给您, 4 好让您了解到您所领受的话语都是确实的。
预言约翰诞生
5 在犹太王希律的那些日子里,有一个祭司名叫撒迦利亚,属于亚比雅班组。他的妻子也是亚伦的子孙[b],名叫伊莉莎白。 6 他们两个人在神面前都是义人,遵行主的一切诫命和公义规定,无可指责。 7 可是他们没有孩子,因为伊莉莎白不能生育,两个人又都上了年纪。
8 有一次,当撒迦利亚的班组轮值的时候,撒迦利亚在神面前履行祭司的职务, 9 照着祭司职务的规矩,抽中了签就进入主的圣所烧香。 10 烧香的时候,全体民众都在外面祷告。 11 有主的一位天使站在香坛的右边向他显现。 12 撒迦利亚看见后,就惊慌不安,恐惧就临到了他。 13 天使对他说:
“撒迦利亚,不要怕,
因为你的祈祷已蒙垂听。
你的妻子伊莉莎白要为你生一个儿子,
你要给他起名叫约翰。
14 他将使你欢喜、快乐,
许多人也会因他的诞生而欢欣,
15 因为他将要在主面前为大。
淡酒和烈酒他绝不能喝,
还在母腹中的时候,
他就会被圣灵充满。
16 他将使许多以色列子民
归向主——他们的神。
17 他将藉着以利亚的灵和能力,
在主的面前先行,
使父亲的心
转向儿女,
使悖逆的人
转向义人的智慧,
好为主准备一群预备好了的子民。”
18 撒迦利亚对天使说:“我凭着什么能知道这事呢?我是个老人,我的妻子也上了年纪。”
19 天使回答他,说:“我是站在神面前的加百列,奉差派来对你说话,向你传达这些好消息。 20 看哪,你要成为哑巴,不能说话,一直到这些事成就的日子,因为你不相信我的话!到了时候,我的话就会应验。”
21 民众等候着撒迦利亚,对他在圣所里的迟延不出感到惊奇。 22 当他出来不能和他们说话的时候,他们才了解他在圣所里看到了异象。撒迦利亚一直向他们打手势,却始终不能说话。 23 他服事的日子满了以后,就回家去了。
24 这些日子以后,他的妻子伊莉莎白怀了孕,隐居了五个月。她说: 25 “为了除去我在人间的耻辱,主在这些眷顾的日子里,这样看待了我。”
预言基督诞生
26 在第六个月,天使加百列从神那里奉差派,去加利利一个叫拿撒勒的城, 27 到一个童贞女那里。这童贞女名叫玛丽亚,已经许配给大卫家族一个名叫约瑟的人。 28 天使[c]来到她面前,说:“蒙大恩的女子,愿你欢喜,主与你同在![d]” 29 玛丽亚因这话就惊慌不安,思索这问候到底是什么意思。 30 天使对她说:
“玛丽亚,不要怕,
因为你在神面前蒙恩了。
31 看哪,
你将要怀孕生一个儿子,
你要给他起名叫耶稣。
32 他将要为大,
被称为至高者的儿子;
主、神要把他先祖大卫的王位赐给他。
33 他要做王统管雅各家,直到永远,
他的国度没有穷尽。”
34 玛丽亚对天使说:“我既然没有出嫁[e],怎么会有这事呢?”
35 天使回答她,说:
“圣灵将要临到你,
至高者的大能要荫庇你,
因此,那要诞生的圣者
将被称为神的儿子。
36 你看,你的亲戚伊莉莎白虽然年老,也怀了男胎;那被称为不能生育的,现在已有六个月的身孕[f]了。 37 因为在神没有什么事是不可能的。”
38 玛丽亚说:“看哪,我是主的婢女,愿这事照着你的话成就在我身上。”于是天使离开了她。
玛丽亚与伊莉莎白
39 就在那些日子里,玛丽亚起身到山区去,赶往犹大的一个城, 40 进了撒迦利亚的家,问候伊莉莎白。 41 伊莉莎白一听到玛丽亚的问候,胎儿就在她的腹中跳动,伊莉莎白也被圣灵充满, 42 大声呼喊说:
“你在妇女中是蒙祝福的,
你腹中的胎儿[g]也是蒙祝福的!
43 我主的母亲竟然到我这里来,这事怎么会临到我呢? 44 看哪,原来你问候的声音一传入我的耳朵,胎儿就在我的腹中欢喜跳跃。 45 这相信的女子是蒙福的,因为主对她说的话都会实现。”
玛丽亚的颂赞
46 玛丽亚说:
“我的心尊主为大,
47 我的灵以神我的救主为乐,
48 因为他看顾他婢女的卑微。
看哪,从今以后,
世世代代都要称我有福,
49 因为那全能者
为我行了大事;
他的名是神圣的。
50 他的怜悯,
世世代代临到敬畏他的人。
51 他用膀臂施展大能,
驱散那些心思意念骄傲的人。
52 他把权能者从高位上拉下,
又把卑微的人[h]高举。
53 他用美物满足饥饿的人,
让富有的人空手而去。
54 他扶助他的仆人以色列,
不忘怜悯,
55 正如他对我们祖先,
对亚伯拉罕和他的后裔所说的,直到永远。”
56 玛丽亚与伊莉莎白一起住了大约三个月,就回家去了。
约翰的出生与命名
57 伊莉莎白产期到了,生了一个儿子。 58 她的邻居和亲戚听说主向她大施怜悯,就与她一同欢乐。
59 到了第八天,他们来给孩子行割礼,要按照他父亲的名字叫他撒迦利亚。 60 可是孩子的母亲应声说:“不!他要被称为约翰。”
61 他们对她说:“你的亲族中没有叫这名字的。” 62 于是他们向孩子的父亲打手势,到底他愿意叫他什么名字。 63 撒迦利亚要了一块写字板,写上:“他的名字是约翰。”大家都感到惊奇。 64 撒迦利亚的口立刻开了,舌头也松了,就说出话来,颂赞神。 65 于是住在他们周围的人都感到惧怕,整个犹太山区的人也都在谈论这一切事。 66 所有听见的人都把这一切存在心里,说:“这孩子将来究竟会怎么样呢?”因为显然有主的手与他同在。
撒迦利亚的预言
67 他的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满,就预言说:
68 “主——以色列的神是当受颂赞的,
因为他临到[i]了他的子民,
并施行了救赎。
69 他在他的仆人大卫家中,
为我们兴起了一只救恩的角,
70 正如他自古以来藉着圣先知们的口所说的,
71 拯救我们脱离敌人[j]、脱离一切恨我们之人的手,
72 向我们的祖先施怜悯,
不忘他神圣的约,
73 就是向我们的先祖亚伯拉罕所起的誓,
74 使我们从敌人[k]的手中被救出,
75 在我们所有的日子里无所惧怕,以圣洁和公义事奉他;
76 而你——孩子啊!
你将被称为至高者的先知,
因为你将走在主的前面,
预备他的路,
77 藉着罪得赦免,
赐给他的子民救恩的知识。
78 因着我们神怜悯的心肠[l],
黎明的曙光将从高天临到[m]我们,
79 照亮那些坐在黑暗
和死亡阴影中的人,
引导我们的脚步进入平安[n]之路。”
80 那孩子渐渐长大,灵里刚强。他住在旷野,直到他向以色列公开出现的那天。

Luke 1
New International Version
Introduction(A)
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first(B) were eyewitnesses(C) and servants of the word.(D) 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account(E) for you, most excellent(F) Theophilus,(G) 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.(H)
The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea(I) there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah;(J) his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.(K) 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,(L) 9 he was chosen by lot,(M) according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.(N) 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.(O)
11 Then an angel(P) of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.(Q) 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.(R) 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid,(S) Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.(T) 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,(U) 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink,(V) and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit(W) even before he is born.(X) 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord,(Y) in the spirit and power of Elijah,(Z) to turn the hearts of the parents to their children(AA) and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”(AB)
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this?(AC) I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”(AD)
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel.(AE) I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak(AF) until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs(AG) to them but remained unable to speak.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace(AH) among the people.”
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel(AI) to Nazareth,(AJ) a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,(AK) a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,(AL) Mary; you have found favor with God.(AM) 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.(AN) 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.(AO) The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,(AP) 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom(AQ) will never end.”(AR)
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you,(AS) and the power of the Most High(AT) will overshadow you. So the holy one(AU) to be born will be called[b] the Son of God.(AV) 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child(AW) in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”(AX)
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,(AY) 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.(AZ) 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women,(BA) and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord(BB) should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary’s Song(BC)
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord(BD)
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,(BE)
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.(BF)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,(BG)
49 for the Mighty One has done great things(BH) for me—
holy is his name.(BI)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.(BJ)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;(BK)
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.(BL)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.(BM)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things(BN)
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful(BO)
55 to Abraham and his descendants(BP) forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
The Birth of John the Baptist
57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise(BQ) the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”(BR)
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”
62 Then they made signs(BS) to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”(BT) 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak,(BU) praising God. 65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea(BV) people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.(BW)
Zechariah’s Song
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(BX) and prophesied:(BY)
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(BZ)
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.(CA)
69 He has raised up a horn[c](CB) of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David(CC)
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),(CD)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors(CE)
and to remember his holy covenant,(CF)
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:(CG)
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him(CH) without fear(CI)
75 in holiness and righteousness(CJ) before him all our days.
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet(CK) of the Most High;(CL)
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,(CM)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,(CN)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun(CO) will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,(CP)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”(CQ)
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[d];(CR) and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
