(每日读经 12/3) 马太福音 Matthew 3.1-12 /附音频

马太福音 3.1-12

0:00

3:1 那时，施浸者约翰出来，在犹太的旷野传道说，

Now in those days John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the wilderness of Judea

3:2 你们要悔改，因为诸天的国已经临近了。

And saying, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

3:3 这人就是那藉着申言者以赛亚所说的，说，“在旷野有人声喊着：预备主的道路，修直祂的途径。”

For this is he who was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.''

3:4 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫野蜜。

Now this John had his garment of camel's hair and a leather girdle around his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

3:5 那时，耶路撒冷和犹太全地，并约但河四周全境的人，都络绎的出去到约翰那里，

At that time Jerusalem and all Judea and all the surrounding region of the Jordan went out to him,

3:6 承认着他们的罪，在约但河里受他的浸。

And they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.

3:7 约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人，来受他的浸，就对他们说，毒蛇之种，谁指示你们逃避要来的忿怒？

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who prompted you to flee from the coming wrath?

3:8 你们要结出果子，与悔改相称。

Produce then fruit worthy of your repentance.

3:9 不要自己心里想着说，我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗。我告诉你们，神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。

And do not presume to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I tell you that God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children to Abraham.

3:10 现在斧头已经放在树根上，凡不结好果子的树，就砍下来，丢在火里。

And already the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

3:11 我是将你们浸在水里，叫你们悔改；但那在我以后来的，能力比我更大，我就是给祂提鞋也不配，祂要将你们浸在圣灵与火里。

I baptize you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is stronger than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He Himself will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,

3:12 祂手里拿着扬场的簸箕，要扬净祂的禾场，把祂的麦子收在仓里，把糠秕用不灭的火烧尽了。

Whose winnowing fan is in His hand. And He will thoroughly cleanse His threshing floor and will gather His wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with unquenchable fire.
