路加福音18:1~8
寡妇和法官的比喻
1耶稣设一个比喻,是要人常常祷告,不可灰心。
2说:「某城里有一个官,不惧怕 神,也不尊重世人。
3那城里有个寡妇,常到他那里,说:『我有一个对头,求你给我伸冤。』
4他多日不准,后来心里说:『我虽不惧怕 神,也不尊重世人,
5只因这寡妇烦扰我,我就给她伸冤吧,免得她常来缠磨我!』」
6主说:「你们听这不义之官所说的话。
7 神的选民昼夜呼吁他,他纵然为他们忍了多时,岂不终久给他们伸冤吗?
8我告诉你们,要快快地给他们伸冤了。然而,人子来的时候,遇得见世上有信德吗?」
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
2He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.
3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,
5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’ ”
6And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
