Luke 17
1 And he said to his disciples: “It is impossible for scandals not to occur. But woe to him through whom they come!
And he said unto his disciples: —It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than to lead astray one of these little ones.
It profiteth him, if, a mill-stone, is hung about his neck, and he is cast into the sea, than that he cause, one, of these little ones, to stumble.
3 Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him.
Be taking heed to yourselves, —If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;
4 And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”
Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
And the apostles said unto the Lord—Bestow on us faith!
6 But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you.
And the Lord said—If ye have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, ye should be saying unto [this] mulberry-tree—Be uprooted! and be planted in the sea, —and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’
But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him—Straightway, come, and recline; —
8 and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?’
on the contrary, will not say to him—Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, —and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink?
9 Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?
Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?
10 I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’”
Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say—Unprofitable servants, are we, —What we were bound to do, we have done!
11 And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And it came to pass, during the journey unto Jerusalem, that, he, was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;
13 And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”
and, they, lifted up a voice, saying—Jesus! Master! have mercy on us!
14 And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.
And, beholding, he said unto them—Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a loud voice.
But, one from among them, beholding that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice, glorifying God, —
16 And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.
and fell prostrate at his feet, giving him thanks; and, he, was a Samaritan.
17 And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?
And Jesus, answering, said—Were not, the ten, cleansed? [but, ] where, are, the nine?
18 Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?
19 And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”
And he said unto him—Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.
20 Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved.
And, being questioned by the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said—The kingdom of God cometh not with narrow watching;
21 And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Neither shall they say—Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.
22 And he said to his disciples: “The time will come when you will desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you will not see it.
But he said unto the disciples—There will come days—when ye will long to see, one of the days of the Son of Man, and shall not see.
23 And they will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them.
And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.
24 For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day.
For, just as, the lightning, flashing out of the one part under heaven, unto the other part under heaven, shineth, so, shall be, the Son of Man.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of man.
And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so, will it be, even in the days of the Son of Man:
27 They were eating and drinking; they were taking wives and being given in marriage, even until the day that Noah entered the ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.
They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, —until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 It shall be similar to what happened in the days of Lot. They were eating and drinking; they were buying and selling; they were planting and building.
In like manner, as it came to pass in the days of Lot, They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, —
29 Then, on the day that Lot departed from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and it destroyed them all.
But, on the day Lot came out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: —
30 According to these things, so shall it be in the day when the Son of man will be revealed.
According to the same things, will it be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
31 In that hour, whoever will be on the rooftop, with his goods in the house, let him not descend to take them. And whoever will be in the field, similarly, let him not turn back.
In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his utensils in the house, let him not go down, to take them away! And, he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not turn unto the things behind,
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,
33 Whoever has sought to save his life, will lose it; and whoever has lost it, will bring it back to life.
But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.
34 I say to you, in that night, there will be two in one bed. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.
I say unto you—On the selfsame night, there shall be two men on [one] bed, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind;
35 Two will be at the grindstone together. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind. Two will be in the field. One will be taken up, and the other will be left behind.”
There shall be two women grinding together, —the one, shall be taken near, and, the other, left behind.
36 Responding, they said to him, “Where, Lord?”
37 And he said to them, “Wherever the body will be, in that place also, the eagles shall be gathered together.”
And, answering, they say unto him—Where, Lord? And, he, said unto them—Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together.
