< Luke 17 >

1 Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!
And Jhesu seide to hise disciplis, It is impossible that sclaundris come not; but wo to that man, bi whom thei comen.
2 It would be well for him if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.
It is more profitable to him, if a mylne stoon be put aboute his necke, and he be cast in to the see, than that he sclaundre oon of these litle.
3 Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;
Take ye hede you silf; if thi brothir hath synned ayens thee, blame hym; and if he do penaunce, foryyue hym.
4 and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."
And if seuene sithis in the dai he do synne ayens thee, and seuene sithis in the dai he be conuertid to thee, and seie, It forthenkith me, foryyue thou hym.
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
And the apostlis seiden to the Lord, Encrese to vs feith.
6 "If your faith," replied the Lord, "is like a mustard seed, you might command this black-mulberry-tree, 'Tear up your roots and plant yourself in the sea,' and instantly it would obey you.
And the Lord seide, If ye han feith as the corn of seneuei, ye schulen seie to this more tre, Be thou drawun vp bi the rote, and be ouerplauntid in to the see, and it schal obeie to you.
7 But which of you who has a servant ploughing, or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the farm, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'
But who of you hath a seruaunt erynge, or lesewynge oxis, which seith to hym, whanne he turneth ayen fro the feeld, Anoon go, and sitte to mete;
8 and will not rather say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, make yourself tidy, and wait upon me till I have finished my dinner, and then you shall have yours'?
and seith not to hym, Make redi, that Y soupe, and girde thee, and serue me, while Y ete and drynke, and aftir this thou schalt ete and drynke;
9 Does he thank the servant for obeying his orders?
whether he hath grace to that seruaunt, for he dide that that he comaundide hym?
10 So you also, when you have obeyed all the orders given you, must say, "'There is no merit in our service: what we have done is only what we were in duty bound to do.'"
Nay, Y gesse. So ye, whanne ye han don alle thingis that ben comaundid to you, seie ye, We ben vnprofitable seruauntis, we han do that that we ouyten to do.
11 As they pursued their journey to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
And it was do, the while Jhesus wente in to Jerusalem, he passide thorou the myddis of Samarie, and Galilee.
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were lepers and stood at a distance.
And whanne he entride in to a castel, ten leprouse men camen ayens hym, whiche stoden afer,
13 In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity on us."
and reiseden her voys, and seiden, Jhesu, comaundoure, haue merci on vs.
14 Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they were made clean.
And as he say hem, he seide, Go ye, `schewe ye you to the prestis. And it was don, the while thei wenten, thei weren clensid.
15 One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and praising God in a loud voice,
And oon of hem, as he saiy that he was clensid, wente ayen, magnifiynge God with grete vois.
16 and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him. He was a Samaritan.
And he fel doun on the face bifore hise feet, and dide thankyngis; and this was a Samaritan.
17 "Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but where are the nine?
And Jhesus answerde, and seide, Whether ten ben not clensid, and where ben the nyne?
18 Have none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
There is noon foundun, that turnede ayen, and yaf glorie to God, but this alien.
19 And He said to him, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
And he seide to hym, Rise vp, go thou; for thi feith hath maad thee saaf.
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.
And he was axid of Farisees, whanne the rewme of God cometh. And he answerde to hem, and seide, The rewme of God cometh not with aspiyng,
21 Nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' --for the Kingdom of God is within you."
nether thei schulen seie, Lo! here, or lo there; for lo! the rewme of God is with ynne you.
22 Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
And he seide to hise disciplis, Daies schulen come, whanne ye schulen desire to se o dai of mannus sone, and ye schulen not se.
23 And they will say to you, 'See there!' 'See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.
And thei schulen seie to you, Lo! here, and lo there. Nyle ye go, nether sue ye;
24 For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.
for as leyt schynynge from vndur heuene schyneth in to tho thingis that ben vndur heuene, so schal mannus sone be in his dai.
25 But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the present generation.
But first it bihoueth hym to suffre many thingis, and to be repreued of this generacioun.
26 "And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time of the Son of Man.
And as it was doon in the daies of Noe, so it schal be in the daies of mannys sone.
27 Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.
Thei eeten and drunkun, weddiden wyues, and weren youun to weddyngis, til in to the dai in the whych Noe entride in to the schip; and the greet flood cam, and loste alle.
28 The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
Also as it was don in the daies of Loth, thei eeten and drunkun, bouyten and seelden, plauntiden and bildiden; but the dai that Loth wente out of Sodome,
29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all.
the Lord reynede fier and brymstoon fro heuene, and loste alle.
30 Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from the Son of Man.
Lijk this thing it schal be, in what dai mannys sone schal be schewid.
31 "On that day, if a man is on the roof and his property indoors, let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way, he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
In that our he that is in the roof, and his vessels in the hous, come he not doun to take hem awei; and he that schal be in the feeld, also turne not ayen bihynde.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Be ye myndeful of the wijf of Loth.
33 Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Who euer seketh to make his lijf saaf, schal leese it; and who euer leesith it, schal quykene it.
34 On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken away and the other left behind.
But Y seie to you, in that nyyt twei schulen be in o bed, oon schal be takun, and the tothir forsakun;
35 There will be two women turning the mill together: one will be taken away and the other left behind."
twei wymmen schulen be gryndynge togidir, `the toon schal be takun, and `the tother forsakun; twei in a feeld, `the toon schal be takun, and `the tother left.
Thei answeren, and seien to hym, Where, Lord?
37 "Where, Master?" they inquired. "Where the dead body is," He replied, "there also will the vultures flock together."
Which seide to hym, Where euer the bodi schal be, thidur schulen be gaderid togidere also the eglis.
