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 耶穌又對門徒說：「絆倒人的事是免不了的；但那絆倒人的有禍了。

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 就是把磨石拴在這人的頸項上，丟在海裏，還強如他把這小子裏的一個絆倒了。

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

3 你們要謹慎！若是你的弟兄得罪你，就勸戒他；他若懊悔，就饒恕他。

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 倘若他一天七次得罪你，又七次回轉，說：『我懊悔了』，你總要饒恕他。」

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

5 使徒對主說：「求主加增我們的信心。」

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 主說：「你們若有信心像一粒芥菜種，就是對這棵桑樹說：『你要拔起根來，栽在海裏』，它也必聽從你們。

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 你們誰有僕人耕地或是放羊，從田裏回來，就對他說：『你快來坐下吃飯』呢？

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 豈不對他說：『你給我預備晚飯，束上帶子伺候我，等我吃喝完了，你才可以吃喝』嗎？

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

9 僕人照所吩咐的去做，主人還謝謝他嗎？

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 這樣，你們做完了一切所吩咐的，只當說：『我們是無用的僕人，所做的本是我們應分做的。』」

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

11 耶穌往耶路撒冷去，經過撒馬利亞和加利利。

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

12 進入一個村子，有十個長大痲瘋的，迎面而來，遠遠地站着，

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

13 高聲說：「耶穌，夫子，可憐我們吧！」

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

14 耶穌看見，就對他們說：「你們去把身體給祭司察看。」他們去的時候就潔淨了。

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

15 內中有一個見自己已經好了，就回來大聲歸榮耀與上帝，

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

16 又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他；這人是撒馬利亞人。

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

17 耶穌說：「潔淨了的不是十個人嗎？那九個在哪裏呢？

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

18 除了這外族人，再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與上帝嗎？」

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

19 就對那人說：「起來，走吧！你的信救了你了。 」

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 法利賽人問：「上帝的國幾時來到？」耶穌回答說：「上帝的國來到不是眼所能見的。

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 人也不得說：『看哪，在這裏！看哪，在那裏！』因為上帝的國就在你們心裏 。」

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 他又對門徒說：「日子將到，你們巴不得看見人子的一個日子，卻不得看見。

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

23 人將要對你們說：『看哪，在那裏！看哪，在這裏！』你們不要出去，也不要跟隨他們！

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 因為人子在他降臨的日子，好像閃電從天這邊一閃直照到天那邊。

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

25 只是他必須先受許多苦，又被這世代棄絕。

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

26 挪亞的日子怎樣，人子的日子也要怎樣。

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 那時候的人又吃又喝，又娶又嫁，到挪亞進方舟的那日，洪水就來，把他們全都滅了。

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

28 又好像羅得的日子；人又吃又喝，又買又賣，又耕種又蓋造。

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

29 到羅得出所多瑪的那日，就有火與硫磺從天上降下來，把他們全都滅了。

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

30 人子顯現的日子也要這樣。

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 當那日，人在房上，器具在屋裏，不要下來拿；人在田裏，也不要回家。

32 Remember Lot’s wife!

32 你們要回想羅得的妻子。

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

33 凡想要保全生命的，必喪掉生命；凡喪掉生命的，必救活生命。

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

34 我對你們說，當那一夜，兩個人在一個床上，要取去一個，撇下一個。

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

35 兩個女人一同推磨，要取去一個，撇下一個。 」

36

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

37 門徒說：「主啊，在哪裏有這事呢？」耶穌說：「屍首在哪裏，鷹也必聚在那裏。」
