Luke 17

1 Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

1 耶稣教导门徒说：“引人犯罪的事是免不了的，但引人犯罪的人有祸了。

2 It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

2 谁使一个卑微的人失足犯罪，他的下场比把大磨石拴在他脖子上扔到海里还要惨。

3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

3 你们要小心谨慎！你的弟兄若犯了罪，要责备他。他若悔改，要饶恕他。

4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

4 就算他一天得罪你七次，每次都对你说，‘我悔改’，你都要饶恕他。”

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

5 使徒对主说：“请你加添我们的信心。”

6 And the Lord answered, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

6 主说：“你们若有芥菜种那么大的信心，就算叫这棵桑树连根拔起，栽在大海里，它也会服从你们。

7 Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

7 “你们谁会对种田或放羊回来的奴仆说，‘请赶快坐下来吃饭’？

8 Instead, won’t he tell him, ‘Prepare my meal and dress yourself to serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you may eat and drink’?

8 不都是吩咐他‘给我准备晚饭，束上腰带伺候我，等我吃喝完毕，你才可以吃喝’吗？

9 Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

9 奴仆照着吩咐去做，主人会谢他吗？

10 So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

10 同样，你们按吩咐把所有事情办妥后，也该这样说，‘我们是无用的奴仆，所做的不过是分内的事。’”

11 While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

11 耶稣继续前往耶路撒冷，途经撒玛利亚和加利利的交界处。

12 As He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

12 祂进入一个村庄时，十个麻风病人迎面而来。他们远远地站着，

13 and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

13 高声呼喊道：“耶稣，老师啊，求你可怜我们吧！”

14 When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

14 耶稣看见他们，就说：“去让祭司察看你们的身体。” 他们去的时候，就洁净了。

15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

15 其中一个发现自己痊愈了，就跑回来，高声赞美上帝，

16 He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

16 又俯伏在耶稣的脚前连连称谢。这人是撒玛利亚人。

17 “Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

17 耶稣说：“被洁净的不是有十个人吗？其他九个呢？

18 Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

18 回来赞美称颂上帝的只有这个外族人吗？”

19 Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

19 于是祂对那人说：“起来回去吧！你的信心救了你。”

20 When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

20 法利赛人问耶稣：“上帝的国什么时候降临？” 耶稣回答说：“上帝国的降临并没有看得见的征兆。

21 Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

21 没有人能说，‘看啊，上帝的国在这里！’或说，‘在那里！’因为上帝的国就在你们当中 。”

22 Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.

22 祂又对门徒说：“时候将到，你们将渴望见到人子降临的日子，可是你们却见不到。

23 People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

23 有人将对你们说，‘看啊，祂在这里！’或说，‘看啊，祂在那里！’你们不要出去，也不要追随他们。

24 For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

24 因为人子降临的时候必如划过长空的闪电，从天这边一直照到天那边。

25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

25 但祂必须先受许多苦，被这个世代弃绝。

26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

26 “人子降临时的情形将像挪亚的时代，

27 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

27 人们吃喝嫁娶，一直到挪亚进方舟那天，洪水来了，把他们全毁灭了；

28 It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

28 又像罗得的时代，人们吃喝、买卖、耕地、盖房。

29 But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

29 在罗得离开所多玛那天，烈火和硫磺从天而降，把他们全毁灭了。

30 It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

30 “人子显现之日的情形也是如此。

31 On that day, let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve his possessions. Likewise, let no one in the field return for anything he has left behind.

31 那天，在屋顶上的，不要下来拿屋内的东西；田间的人也不要回家。

32 Remember Lot’s wife!

32 你们要记住罗得妻子的事。

33 Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

33 凡想保全生命的，必丧失生命；凡丧失生命的，必保全生命。

34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

34 我告诉你们，那天晚上，两个人睡在一张床上，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下；

35 Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

35 两个女人一起推磨，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下；

36

36 两个人在田间，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下。”

37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

37 门徒问：“主啊，在哪里有这事呢？” 耶稣回答说：“尸体在哪里，秃鹰就会聚集在哪里。”
