娶亲筵席的比喻

¹耶稣又用比喻对他们说：Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:

²“天国好比一个王为他儿子摆设娶亲的筵席，“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.

³就打发仆人去，请那些被召的人来赴席，他们却不肯来。He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

再次邀请被拒，王发怒

⁴王又打发别的仆人，说：‘你们告诉那被召的人，我的筵席已经预备好了，牛和肥畜已经宰了，各样都齐备，请你们来赴席。’Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

⁵那些人不理就走了；一个到自己田里去；一个做买卖去；But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.

⁶其余的拿住仆人，凌辱他们，把他们杀了。The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

⁷王就大怒，发兵除灭那些凶手，烧毁他们的城。The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.

请岔路口上的人

⁸于是对仆人说：‘喜筵已经齐备，只是所召的人不配。Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.

⁹所以你们要往岔路口上去，凡遇见的，都召来赴席。’Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

¹⁰那些仆人就出去，到大路上，凡遇见的，不论善恶都召聚了来，筵席上就坐满了客。So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

没有穿礼服的人

¹¹王进来观看宾客，见那里有一个没有穿礼服的，But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.

¹²就对他说：‘朋友，你到这里来怎么不穿礼服呢？’那人无言可答。‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

¹³于是王对使唤的人说：‘捆起他的手脚来，把他丢在外边的黑暗里；在那里必要哀哭切齿了。’Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

¹⁴因为被召的人多，选上的人少。”For many are called, but few are chosen.”
