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!
| روزی عیسی به شاگردان خود فرمود: «وسوسهٔ گناه همیشه وجود خواهد داشت، ولی وای به حال کسی که مردم را وسوسه کند. |
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!]
| برای او بهتر است که یک سنگ بزرگ دور گردنش آویخته و به دریا انداخته شود تا اینکه باعث لغزش یکی از این کودکان گردد. |
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.
| پس مراقب اعمال و کردار خود باشید! «اگر برادرت گناه کند، او را توبیخ کن؛ و اگر توبه کرد، او را ببخش. |
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.”
| حتی اگر روزی هفت مرتبه به تو بدی کند، و هر بار نزد تو بازگردد و اظهار پشیمانی کند، او را ببخش!» |
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
| رسولان به خداوند گفتند: «ایمان ما را زیاد کن.» |
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!”
| عیسی فرمود: «اگر ایمانی به کوچکی دانۀ خردل نیز داشته باشید، می‌توانید به این درخت توت دستور بدهید که از جایش کنده شده، در دریا کاشته شود، و درخت از دستور شما اطاعت خواهد کرد. |
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!’
| «وقتی خدمتکاری از شخم زدن یا گوسفندچرانی به خانه باز می‌گردد، آیا اربابش به او می‌گوید:”بیا، بنشین و غذا بخور“؟ |
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.’
| نه، خواهد گفت:”شام مرا آماده کن و از من پذیرایی نما؛ و منتظر شو تا من بخورم و بنوشم، بعد تو بخور و بنوش.“ |
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]
| از خدمتکارش تشکر نیز نمی‌کند، زیرا وظیفه‌اش را انجام می‌دهد. |
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.’”
| به همین صورت، شما نیز وقتی دستورهای مرا اجرا می‌کنید، انتظار تعریف و تمجید نداشته باشید، چون فقط وظیفه خود را انجام داده‌اید.» |
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
| عیسی بر سر راه خود به اورشلیم، در مرز بین جلیل و سامره، |
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
| وقتی وارد روستایی می‌شد، ناگاه دَه جذامی به او برخوردند. جذامی‌ها، از دور ایستاده، |
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
| فریاد زدند: «ای عیسی، ای استاد، بر ما رحم فرما!» |
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.
| عیسی متوجهٔ آنان شد و فرمود: «نزد کاهنان بروید و خود را به ایشان نشان دهید.» هنگامی که می‌رفتند، آثار جذام از روی بدنشان محو شد. |
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
| یکی از آنان وقتی دید که شفا یافته است، در حالی که با صدای بلند خدا را شکر می‌کرد، نزد عیسی بازگشت، |
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
| و در برابر او بر خاک افتاد و برای لطفی که در حقش کرده بود، از وی تشکر نمود. این شخص، یک سامری بود. |
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]
| عیسی فرمود: «مگر من ده نفر را شفا ندادم؟ پس آن نُه نفر دیگر کجا هستند؟ |
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!”
| آیا به‌جز این غریبه، کسی نبود که بازگردد و از خدا تشکر کند؟» |
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].”
| پس به آن مرد فرمود: «برخیز و برو! ایمانت تو را شفا داده است!» |
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.
| روزی بعضی از فریسیان از عیسی پرسیدند: «ملکوت خدا کی آغاز خواهد شد؟» عیسی جواب داد: «ملکوت خدا با علائم قابل دیدن آغاز نخواهد شد. |
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).”
| و نخواهند گفت که در این گوشه یا آن گوشه زمین آغاز شده است، زیرا ملکوت خدا در میان شماست.» |
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.
| کمی بعد، در این باره به شاگردان خود فرمود: «زمانی می‌رسد که آرزو خواهید کرد حتی برای یک روز هم که شده، با شما باشم، اما این آرزو برآورده نخواهد شد. |
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].
| به شما خبر خواهد رسید که من بازگشته‌ام و در فلان جا هستم. اما باور نکنید و به دنبال من نگردید. |
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].
| زیرا همان‌طور که صاعقه در یک لحظه می‌درخشد و آسمان را از یک کران تا کران دیگر روشن می‌سازد، پسر انسان نیز در روز آمدنش چنین خواهد بود. |
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].
| اما پیش از آن، لازم است که زحمات بسیاری متحمل گردم و توسط این قوم طرد شوم. |
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].
| «زمان ظهور پسر انسان مانند روزگار نوح خواهد بود. |
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].
| مردم سرگرم عیش و نوش و میهمانی و عروسی بودند تا آن روز که نوح وارد کشتی شد. آنگاه سیل آمد و همه را نابود کرد. |
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].
| «در آن زمان، دنیا مانند زمان لوط خواهد بود که مردم غرق کارهای روزانه‌شان بودند؛ می‌خوردند و می‌نوشیدند؛ خرید و فروش می‌کردند؛ می‌کاشتند و می‌ساختند، |
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].
| تا صبح روزی که لوط از شهر سدوم بیرون آمد و آتش و گوگرد از آسمان بارید و همه چیز را از بین برد. |
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
| بله، آمدن پسر انسان نیز چنین خواهد بود. |
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].
| «در آن روز، کسی که بر پشت بام خانه باشد برای بردن اموالشان به داخل خانه باز نگردد؛ و کسی که در مزرعه باشد، به خانه باز نگردد. |
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].
| به خاطر بیاورید بر سر زن لوط چه آمد! |
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].
| هر که بخواهد جان خود را حفظ کند، آن را از دست خواهد داد؛ اما هر که جانش را از دست بدهد، آن را حفظ خواهد کرد. |
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]}.
| در آن شب، دو نفر که بر یک تخت خوابیده باشند، یکی بُرده خواهد شد و دیگری خواهد ماند. |
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
| دو زن که در کنار هم سرگرم آرد کردن گندم باشند، یکی برده خواهد شد و دیگری خواهد ماند. |
| دو مرد نیز که در مزرعه کار می‌کنند، یکی برده شده، و دیگری برجای خواهد ماند.» |
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].”
| شاگردان از عیسی پرسیدند: «خداوندا، به کجا برده خواهند شد؟» عیسی فرمود: «جایی که لاشه باشد، لاشخورها در آنجا جمع خواهند شد!» |
