< Luke 17 >

1 He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
耶稣又对门徒说:“诱惑不可避免,但那些传递诱惑之人有祸了!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
对这种人,最好把一块大磨石拴在他的脖子上,将他沉在海里,总比让这些儿童犯罪要好。
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
所以做每件事都要小心。如果你兄弟犯下罪行,要警告他。如果他幡然悔悟,要宽恕他。
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
就算他每天有七次用罪冒犯你,但又七次回来对你说:‘我真的很抱歉!’你也要宽恕他。”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
门徒对主说:“请帮助我们获得更多信心。”
6 The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
主回答:“即使你们的信心微小如一粒芥菜种,也能命令这棵桑树:‘把根拔起,自己栽到海里去!’它就会听你的命令。
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
假设你有个仆人负责耕地或放羊,当他从田里回来,你是不是会对他说:‘快过来坐下吃饭’,
8 Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
不,你会这样说:‘给我准备饭菜,穿戴整齐来服侍我,你等我用晚餐后才能吃饭。’
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
如果仆人做了主人吩咐的事,主人是否还要感谢他?不需要。
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
同样,你做了别人吩咐你做的事,只需说:‘我们不是最好的仆人,只是做了分内之事。’”
11 As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
耶稣继续向耶路撒冷走去,途径撒玛利亚和加利利的边境。
12 As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
他走进一个村庄,遇到了十个麻风病人站在远处。
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
他们大声喊:“耶稣,主啊,可怜可怜我们吧!”
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
耶稣看见他们就说:“去让祭司看看你们吧。”他们在见祭司的途中就痊愈了。
15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
其中一个人见自己痊愈,就回到耶稣面前大声颂赞上帝。
16 He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
这个撒玛利亚人伏倒在耶稣脚前,感谢耶稣。
17 Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
耶稣说:“十个人都治愈了吗?其他九人在哪里?
18 Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
除了这个异教徒,难道没有别人回来颂赞上帝吗?”
19 Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
耶稣就对他说:“起来走吧,你的信任治愈了你。”
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
有一次,法利赛人过来问耶稣上帝之国何时降临。他回答:“上帝之国降临之时,不会有任何让你看到的迹象。
21 neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
人们不会说:‘看,在这里’,或说:‘看,在那里’,因为上帝之国就在你们之中。”
22 He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
然后耶稣又对门徒说:“那个时刻快到了,就是你们渴望看到人子的日子,但你们其实看不到。
23 They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
有人会对你们说:‘看呐,他在那里。看呐,他在这里。’不要跑去追随他们。
24 for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
当人子到来之际,会如闪电发出光亮,从天空的一侧到另一侧闪过,将天空点亮。
25 But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
但首先他必须经受许多苦,被这个世界所抛弃。
26 As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
人子到来的时代,会像诺亚所面临的那一刻。
27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
当时人们都在吃吃喝喝,忙着嫁娶,直到诺亚进入方舟的那一天,洪水到来,摧毁了一切。
28 Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
那一刻就像罗得所面临的时代。当时众人忙着吃吃喝喝,做买卖、种地或者盖房子。
29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
在罗得离开索多玛的那一天,天空落下火与硫磺,摧毁了一切。
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
人子出现的那一天就是这样。
31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
到了那一天,如果你站在房顶,家当都在屋里,不要跑下去拿。如果你在田里,不要回家。
32 Remember Lot’s wife!
记着罗得妻子的教训。
33 Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
如果你想抓住生命,就会失去生命,如果你失去生命,就会拯救生命。
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
告诉你们吧,在那个时刻,如果一张床上躺着两个人,一人会被接走,一个会被留下。
35 There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
如果有两个女人一起磨谷子,一个人会被接走,一个会被留下。”
37 They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
门徒问耶稣:“主啊,它会在哪里发生?”耶稣回答:“哪里有尸首,哪里就会围着秃鹫。”
