The Bible in Hong Kong

1 In the beginning, our Heavenly Father created the heavens and the earth.

1 起初，我們的天父創造咗諸天同大地。

2 The earth was formless and empty; darkness lay over the deep's surface, and the Spirit of our Father was hovering over the waters' surface.

2 嗰陣大地係空虛混沌嘅，黑暗籠罩住深淵嘅水面，天父嘅靈運行喺水面之上。

3 Then our Father said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

3 於是天父話：「要有光。」就有咗光。

4 He saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

4 佢睇見光係好嘅，就將光同黑暗分開。

5 He called the light "day" and called the darkness "night." There was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

5 佢稱光為「晝」，稱黑暗為「夜」。有晚上，有早晨——呢個係頭一日。

6 And our Father said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water."

6 天父又話：「諸水之間要有穹蒼，將水同水分開。」

7 He made the expanse and separated the water under it from the water above it. And it was so.

7 於是佢造咗穹蒼，將穹蒼之下嘅水同穹蒼之上嘅水分開。事情就咁樣成就咗。

8 He called the expanse "sky." So there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

8 佢稱穹蒼為「天」。咁就有晚上，有早晨——呢個係第二日。

9 Then our Father said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.

9 於是天父話：「天下嘅水要聚集喺一處，使旱地露出嚟。」事情就咁樣成就咗。

10 He named the dry ground "land," the gathered waters "seas." And he saw it was good.

10 佢稱旱地為「地」，稱聚集嘅水為「海」。佢睇見係好嘅。

11 Then he said, "Let the land grow vegetation: seed-bearing plants, fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it, after its kind." And it was so.

11 佢又話：「地要長出青草：結種子嘅菜蔬，同埋結果子嘅樹木，果子裏面有種子，各按其類。」事情就咁樣成就咗。

12 The land produced vegetation—seed-bearing plants by kind, and trees bearing seed-bearing fruit by kind—and our Father saw that it was good.

12 地就長出青草：各按其類結種子嘅菜蔬，同埋各按其類結果子嘅樹木，果子裏面有種子。天父睇見係好嘅。

13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

13 有晚上，有早晨——呢個係第三日。

14 And our Father said, "Let there be lights in the sky's expanse to separate day from night, and serve as signs to mark seasons, days, and years,

14 天父又話：「天空嘅穹蒼之中要有光體，將晝同夜分開，並且作為記號，定出時節、日子同年歲，」

15 and let them be lights in the sky's expanse, to give light on the earth." And it was so.

15 「又要喺天空嘅穹蒼之中作光體，照亮大地。」事情就咁樣成就咗。

16 Our Father made two great lights—the greater light to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

16 天父造咗兩個大光體：大嘅管晝，細嘅管夜。佢又造咗眾星。

17 He set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth,

17 佢將呢啲光體擺喺天空嘅穹蒼之中，照亮大地，

18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. He saw it was good.

18 管理晝夜，並且將光同黑暗分開。佢睇見係好嘅。

19 So there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

19 咁就有晚上，有早晨——呢個係第四日。

20 Then our Father said, "Let the water swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth, across the sky's expanse."

20 於是天父話：「水要充滿成群嘅活物，又要有雀鳥喺大地之上、天空嘅穹蒼之中飛翔。」

21 So he created the great sea creatures, every living creature that moves and swarms in the water by its kind, and every winged bird by its kind. And he saw it was good.

21 於是佢創造咗巨大嘅海洋生物，同埋水裏面成群游動嘅各樣活物，各按其類，又有各樣有翅膀嘅雀鳥，各按其類。佢睇見係好嘅。

22 Our Father blessed them and said, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on earth."

22 天父賜福俾佢哋，話：「要生養眾多，充滿海中嘅水，雀鳥也要喺大地上增多。」

23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

23 有晚上，有早晨——呢個係第五日。

24 And our Father said, "Let the land produce living creatures by kind: livestock, crawling creatures, and wild animals, each by kind." And it was so.

24 天父又話：「地要生出活物，各按其類：牲畜、地上爬行嘅動物，同埋野獸，各按其類。」事情就咁樣成就咗。

25 He made wild animals by their kind, livestock by their kind, and every creature crawling the ground by its kind. And he saw that it was good.

25 佢造咗野獸，各按其類；牲畜，各按其類；地上一切爬行嘅動物，各按其類。佢睇見係好嘅。

26 Then our Father said, "Let us make humanity in our image, in our likeness, to rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and every creature crawling on the ground."

26 於是天父話：「我哋要照住我哋嘅形象、按住我哋嘅樣式造人，使佢哋管理海裏面嘅魚、天空嘅雀鳥、牲畜、全地，同埋地上一切爬行嘅活物。」

27 So our Father created humanity in his own image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

27 於是天父照住自己嘅形象造人；佢照住聖父、聖子、聖靈嘅形象造佢哋；佢造佢哋有男有女。

28 Our Father blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every living creature that moves on the earth."

28 天父賜福俾佢哋，對佢哋話：「要生養眾多，遍滿大地，治理大地。要管理海裏面嘅魚、天空嘅雀鳥，同埋地上一切爬行嘅活物。」

29 Then he said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant across the whole earth, and every tree with seed-bearing fruit—they will be your food.

29 佢又話：「睇啊，我將全地上所有結種子嘅菜蔬，同埋所有結果子有種子嘅樹木，都賜俾你哋。呢啲就係你哋嘅食物。

30 To every animal of the earth, every bird of the sky, everything crawling on the ground with breath of life, I give every green plant for food." And so it happened.

30 「至於地上一切走獸、天空一切雀鳥，同埋地上一切爬行嘅活物——凡有生命氣息嘅——我都將一切青綠嘅植物賜俾佢哋作食物。」事情就咁樣成就咗。

31 Our Father saw all he had made, and it was very good. So there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

31 天父睇見佢所造嘅一切，都係非常之好。咁就有晚上，有早晨——呢個係第六日。

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

1 有一個法利賽人，名叫尼哥德慕，係猶太人嘅領袖。

2 This man came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from our Father, for no one can do these signs you do unless our Father is with him."

2 呢個人趁夜晚嚟到耶穌嗰度，對佢話：「拉比，我哋知道你係由天父嗰度嚟嘅老師，因為你所行嘅呢啲神蹟，若果唔係天父同佢同在，就冇人行得到。」

3 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you: unless someone is born from above, he can't see the kingdom of our Father."

3 耶穌回答佢話：「我實實在在話你知，人若唔重生，就睇唔到天父嘅國。」

4 Nicodemus asked, "How can a man be born when he's old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born?"

4 尼哥德慕對佢話：「人老咗點樣可以再生出嚟呢?佢可以第二次入返媽媽個肚再生出嚟咩?」

5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Holy Spirit, he can't enter our Father's kingdom.

5 耶穌回答話：「我實實在在話你知，人若唔係從水同聖靈而生，就唔可以進天父嘅國。

6 Born of the flesh is flesh, and born of the Holy Spirit is spirit.

6 從肉身而生嘅就係肉身，從聖靈而生嘅就係靈。

7 Don't be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.'

7 我對你話『你哋必須重生』，你唔好覺得出奇。

8 Wind blows where it wants; you hear its sound but don't know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

8 風隨自己嘅意思吹，你聽見風嘅聲音，但係唔知佢從邊度嚟、往邊度去。凡從聖靈而生嘅，都係咁樣。」

9 Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?"

9 尼哥德慕對佢話：「呢啲事點可能呢?」

10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?

10 耶穌回答佢話：「你係以色列人嘅老師，竟然唔明白呢啲事咩?

11 Truly, truly, I tell you: we speak what we know, we testify to what we've seen, yet you don't accept our testimony.

11 我實實在在話你知，我哋講我哋所知道嘅，見證我哋所見過嘅，你哋卻唔接受我哋嘅見證。

12 If I told you earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

12 我同你哋講地上嘅事，你哋尚且唔信，若係我同你哋講天上嘅事，你哋點會信呢?

13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.

13 除咗從天降下嘅那位，就係人子，冇人升過天。

14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

14 摩西喺曠野點樣舉起銅蛇，人子也必照樣被舉起,

15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

15 好使凡信佢嘅人都得到永生。

16 For our Father so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

16 因為天父咁樣愛世人，甚至將佢獨一嘅兒子賜俾佢哋，叫一切信佢嘅，唔至滅亡，反而得到永生。

17 For our Father did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so the world could be saved through him.

17 因為天父差佢嘅兒子嚟到世上，唔係要定世人嘅罪，而係要世人藉住佢得救。

18 Whoever believes in him isn't condemned; whoever doesn't believe is condemned already, for not believing in the name of the one and only Son of our Father.

18 信佢嘅人唔被定罪；唔信嘅人罪已經定咗，因為佢唔信天父獨一兒子嘅名。

19 This is the judgment: light has entered the world, and people loved darkness more than light because their deeds were evil.

19 審判就係咁樣：光來到世上，世人因為自己嘅行為係惡嘅，反而愛黑暗多過愛光。

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light and won't come to the light, so that his deeds aren't exposed.

20 凡作惡嘅人都憎惡光，唔肯就近光，恐怕自己嘅行為被揭露。

21 But whoever does the truth comes to the light, so it may be revealed that his works have been done in our Father."

21 但係行真理嘅人就就近光，好使佢嘅行為顯明出嚟，係靠住天父而行嘅。

22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, where he stayed with them, baptizing.

22 呢件事之後，耶穌同佢嘅門徒嚟到猶太地嘅鄉郊，佢喺嗰度同佢哋一齊住，並且施洗。

23 John also baptized at Aenon near Salim, since water was plentiful there, and people came and were baptized,

23 約翰也喺靠近撒冷嘅哀嫩施洗，因為嗰度水多，人哋都嚟受洗，

24 for John had not yet been put in prison.

24 因為嗰陣約翰仲未落監。

25 Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purification.

25 嗰陣約翰嘅幾個門徒同一個猶太人之間，為咗潔淨嘅禮起咗爭論。

26 They came to John and said, "Rabbi, the man with you beyond the Jordan, the one you testified about—he's baptizing, and everyone goes to him."

26 佢哋嚟到約翰嗰度，對佢話：「拉比，從前同你喺約旦河對岸、你曾經為佢作見證嗰位——你睇，佢而家施洗，大家都去佢嗰度喇。」

27 John replied, "A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.

27 約翰回答話：「若唔係從天賜俾佢，人就連一樣都領受唔到。

28 You yourselves can testify: I said 'I'm not the Christ, but sent ahead of him.'

28 你哋自己可以為我作證，我講過：『我唔係基督，只係奉差遣行喺佢前面。』

29 The one with the bride is the bridegroom—Jesus. The bridegroom's friend, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So my joy is now complete.

29 娶新娘嘅就係新郎——就係耶穌。新郎嘅朋友站喺度聽佢講嘢，一聽見新郎嘅聲音就滿心歡喜。所以而家我嘅喜樂滿足咗。

30 He must increase, but I must decrease."

30 佢必興旺，我必衰微。

31 The one who comes from above is above all. The one from earth belongs to earth and speaks in an earthly way. The one who comes from heaven is above all.

31 從上面嚟嘅，超乎萬有之上。屬地嘅就屬於地，所講嘅也係屬地嘅事。從天上嚟嘅，超乎萬有之上。

32 He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony.

32 佢將自己所見過、所聽過嘅作見證，但係冇人接受佢嘅見證。

33 Whoever receives his testimony confirms that our Father is true.

33 凡接受佢見證嘅人，就印證咗天父係真實嘅。

34 The one our Father sent speaks our Father's words, for he gives the Holy Spirit without measure.

34 因為天父所差嚟嘅那位，講嘅就係天父嘅話，因為天父賜聖靈俾佢，係冇限量嘅。

35 Our Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

35 天父愛兒子，已經將萬有交喺佢手裏面。

36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son won't see life—our Father's wrath remains on him.

36 信兒子嘅人有永生；唔順從兒子嘅人見唔到生命，反而天父嘅憤怒常在佢身上。
