Luke 17 (AVD) · Opened

1وَقَالَ لِتَلَامِيذِهِ: «لَا يُمْكِنُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَ ٱلْعَثَرَاتُ، وَلَكِنْ وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي تَأْتِي بِوَاسِطَتِهِ!Jesus said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks will come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

2خَيْرٌ لَهُ لَوْ طُوِّقَ عُنُقُهُ بِحَجَرِ رَحًى وَطُرِحَ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، مِنْ أَنْ يُعْثِرَ أَحَدَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلصِّغَارِ.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.

3اِحْتَرِزُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ. وَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْكَ أَخُوكَ فَوَبِّخْهُ، وَإِنْ تَابَ فَٱغْفِرْ لَهُ.Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4وَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَرَجَعَ إِلَيْكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ قَائِلًا: أَنَا تَائِبٌ، فَٱغْفِرْ لَهُ».Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5فَقَالَ ٱلرُّسُلُ لِلرَّبِّ: «زِدْ إِيمَانَنَا!».The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لَوْ كَانَ لَكُمْ إِيمَانٌ مِثْلُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ، لَكُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْجُمَّيْزَةِ: ٱنْقَلِعِي وَٱنْغَرِسِي فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ فَتُطِيعُكُمْ.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.

7«وَمَنْ مِنْكُمْ لَهُ عَبْدٌ يَحْرُثُ أَوْ يَرْعَى، يَقُولُ لَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقْلِ: تَقَدَّمْ سَرِيعًا وَٱتَّكِئْ.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’?

8بَلْ أَلَا يَقُولُ لَهُ: أَعْدِدْ مَا أَتَعَشَّى بِهِ، وَتَمَنْطَقْ وَٱخْدِمْنِي حَتَّى آكُلَ وَأَشْرَبَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَأْكُلُ وَتَشْرَبُ أَنْتَ؟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’?

9فَهَلْ لِذَلِكَ ٱلْعَبْدِ فَضْلٌ لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ؟ لَا أَظُنُّ.Does he thank the servant because he did what he was told?

10كَذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا، مَتَى فَعَلْتُمْ كُلَّ مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ فَقُولُوا: إِنَّنَا عَبِيدٌ بَطَّالُونَ، لِأَنَّنَا إِنَّمَا عَمِلْنَا مَا كَانَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْنَا».So you also, when you have done everything commanded of you, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

11وَفِي ذَهَابِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱجْتَازَ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَٱلْجَلِيلِ.While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

12وَفِيمَا هُوَ دَاخِلٌ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ بُرْصٍ، فَوَقَفُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍAs He entered one of the villages, He was met by ten lepers. They stood at a distance

13وَرَفَعوُا صَوْتًا قَائِلِينَ: «يَا يَسُوعُ، يَا مُعَلِّمُ، ٱرْحَمْنَا!».and raised their voices, shouting, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14فَنَظَرَ وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا وَأَرُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ». وَفِيمَا هُمْ مُنْطَلِقُونَ طَهَرُوا.When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were on their way, they were cleansed.

15فَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ شُفِيَ، رَجَعَ يُمَجِّدُ ٱللهَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ،When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice.

16وَخَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ شَاكِرًا لَهُ، وَكَانَ سَامِرِيًّا.He fell facedown at Jesus’ feet in thanksgiving to Him—and he was a Samaritan.

17فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ ٱلْعَشَرَةُ قَدْ طَهَرُوا؟ فَأَيْنَ ٱلتِّسْعَةُ؟“Were not all ten cleansed?” Jesus asked. “Where then are the other nine?

18أَلَمْ يُوجَدْ مَنْ يَرْجِعُ لِيُعْطِيَ مَجْدًا لِلهِ غَيْرُ هَذَا ٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلْجِنْسِ؟».Was no one found except this foreigner to return and give glory to God?”

19ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «قُمْ وَٱمْضِ، إِيمَانُكَ خَلَّصَكَ».Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”

20وَلَمَّا سَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ: «مَتَى يَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ؟». أَجَابَهُمْ وَقَالَ: «لَا يَأْتِي مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ بِمُرَاقَبَةٍ،When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.

21وَلَا يَقُولُونَ: هُوَذَا هَهُنَا، أَوْ: هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ! لِأَنْ هَا مَلَكُوتُ ٱللهِ دَاخِلَكُمْ».Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

22وَقَالَ لِلتَّلَامِيذِ: «سَتَأْتِي أَيَّامٌ فِيهَا تَشْتَهُونَ أَنْ تَرَوْا يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ أَيَّامِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَلَا تَرَوْنَ.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.

23وَيَقُولُونَ لَكُمْ: هُوَذَا هَهُنَا! أَوْ: هُوَذَا هُنَاكَ! لَا تَذْهَبُوا وَلَا تَتْبَعُوا،People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is!’ or ‘Look, here He is!’ Do not go out or chase after them.

24لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْبَرْقَ ٱلَّذِي يَبْرُقُ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُضِيءُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ فِي يَوْمِهِ.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.

25وَلَكِنْ يَنْبَغِي أَوَّلًا أَنْ يَتَأَلَّمَ كَثِيرًا وَيُرْفَضَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ.But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26وَكَمَا كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا فِي أَيَّامِ ٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ:Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:

27كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ، وَيُزَوِّجُونَ وَيَتَزَوَّجُونَ، إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ ٱلْفُلْكَ، وَجَاءَ ٱلطُّوفَانُ وَأَهْلَكَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ.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.

28كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا كَمَا كَانَ فِي أَيَّامِ لُوطٍ: كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ، وَيَشْتَرُونَ وَيَبِيعُونَ، وَيَغْرِسُونَ وَيَبْنُونَ.It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.

29وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجَ لُوطٌ مِنْ سَدُومَ، أَمْطَرَ نَارًا وَكِبْرِيتًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَأَهْلَكَ ٱلْجَمِيعَ.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30هَكَذَا يَكُونُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يُظْهَرُ ٱبْنُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

31فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَنْ كَانَ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ وَأَمْتِعَتُهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ فَلَا يَنْزِلْ لِيَأْخُذَهَا، وَٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ كَذَلِكَ لَا يَرْجِعْ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ.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.

32اُذْكُرُوا ٱمْرَأَةَ لُوطٍ!Remember Lot’s wife!

33مَنْ طَلَبَ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ يُهْلِكُهَا، وَمَنْ أَهْلَكَهَا يُحْيِيهَا.Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ يَكُونُ ٱثْنَانِ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَيُؤْخَذُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَيُتْرَكُ ٱلْآخَرُ.I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

35تَكُونُ ٱثْنَتَانِ تَطْحَنَانِ مَعًا، فَتُؤْخَذُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةُ وَتُتْرَكُ ٱلْأُخْرَى.Two women will be grinding grain together: one will be taken and the other left.”

36يَكُونُ ٱثْنَانِ فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، فَيُؤْخَذُ ٱلْوَاحِدُ وَيُتْرَكُ ٱلْآخَرُ».Not in the BSB

37فَأَجَابوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ يَارَبُّ؟». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «حَيْثُ تَكُونُ ٱلْجُثَّةُ هُنَاكَ تَجْتَمِعُ ٱلنُّسُورُ».“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”
