< Luke 17 >

1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ. ⲥⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ͡ⲓ. ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅.
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲕⲉ ⲙⲏⲣ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲟϫϥ̅ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
ⲅ̅ϯϩⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲉⲕⲥⲟⲛ ⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ̈ ⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
ⲇ̅ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϥ̅ⲕⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲡ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓ̈. ⲉⲕⲉⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ·
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉϩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧⲏⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲡϣⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲗ̅ⲃⲓⲗⲉ ⲛϣⲗ̅ⲧⲙ̅ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲟⲩϩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲣϫ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲱϭⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲥ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
ⲍ̅ⲛⲓⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧʾⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲕⲁⲓ̈ ⲏ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲱϣⲉ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲛⲅ̅ⲛⲟϫⲕ̅.
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
ⲏ̅ⲙⲏ ⲉϣⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ̅. ⲛⲅ̅ⲙⲟⲣⲕ̅ ⲛⲅ̅ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲁⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲛϯⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲱ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲅ̅ⲥⲱ.
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]

10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”

11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ. ⲛⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉϥⲃⲏⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩϯⲙⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲧ ⲣ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲃⲁϩ ⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧʾ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉ
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”

14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲃⲱⲕ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲩⲱ̑ⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ. ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲏⲕ ⲁⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ ⲁϥⲕⲟⲧϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉϥϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡʾⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].

17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]

18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”

19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ⲃⲱⲕ·
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲛⲏⲩ ⲧⲛⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ. ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϩⲛⲟⲩϯϩⲧⲏϥ.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ. ⲏ ⲡⲏ. ⲉⲓⲥⲧⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲁ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲛ.
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲛⲁⲩ.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲓ̈ⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϥⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ ⲏ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲱⲧʾ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].

25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].

26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].

27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].

28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].

29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].

30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).

31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].

32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].

33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].

34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.

37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
