Κατα Λουκαν 17
1 ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας ανενδεκτον εστιν του μη ελθειν τα σκανδαλα ουαι δε δι ου ερχεται
Jesus said to his disciples, “Temptations are unavoidable, but it will be a disaster for those through whom they come!
2 λυσιτελει αυτω ει μυλος ονικος περικειται περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και ερριπται εις την θαλασσαν η ινα σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων
For such people it would be better to have a millstone hung around the neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause these little ones to sin.
3 προσεχετε εαυτοις εαν δε αμαρτη εις σε ο αδελφος σου επιτιμησον αυτω και εαν μετανοηση αφες αυτω
So take care what you do. If your brother sins, warn him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 και εαν επτακις της ημερας αμαρτη εις σε και επτακις της ημερας επιστρεψη επι σε λεγων μετανοω αφησεις αυτω
Even if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times comes back and tells you, ‘I'm really sorry,’ forgive him.”
5 και ειπον οι αποστολοι τω κυριω προσθες ημιν πιστιν
The apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to have more trust!”
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ει ειχετε πιστιν ως κοκκον σιναπεως ελεγετε αν τη συκαμινω ταυτη εκριζωθητι και φυτευθητι εν τη θαλασση και υπηκουσεν αν υμιν
The Lord replied, “Even if your trust was as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Uproot yourself, and plant yourself in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 τις δε εξ υμων δουλον εχων αροτριωντα η ποιμαινοντα ος εισελθοντι εκ του αγρου ερει ευθεως παρελθων αναπεσαι
Say you have a servant who does plowing or shepherding. When he comes in from work, do you say to him, ‘Come in and sit down now for a meal’?
8 αλλ ουχι ερει αυτω ετοιμασον τι δειπνησω και περιζωσαμενος διακονει μοι εως φαγω και πιω και μετα ταυτα φαγεσαι και πιεσαι συ
No. You say to him, ‘Prepare a meal for me, get yourself dressed, and serve me until I've finished my meal. After that you can have your meal.’
9 μη χαριν εχει τω δουλω εκεινω οτι εποιησεν τα διαταχθεντα αυτω ου δοκω
And do you thank the servant for doing what you told him? No.
10 ουτως και υμεις οταν ποιησητε παντα τα διαταχθεντα υμιν λεγετε οτι δουλοι αχρειοι εσμεν οτι ο ωφειλομεν ποιησαι πεποιηκαμεν
Likewise once you've done everything you were told, you should simply say, ‘We are undeserving servants. We just did our duty.’”
11 και εγενετο εν τω πορευεσθαι αυτον εις ιερουσαλημ και αυτος διηρχετο δια μεσου σαμαρειας και γαλιλαιας
As Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, he passed along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12 και εισερχομενου αυτου εις τινα κωμην απηντησαν αυτω δεκα λεπροι ανδρες οι εστησαν πορρωθεν
As he entered a particular village, ten lepers met him, standing at a distance.
13 και αυτοι ηραν φωνην λεγοντες ιησου επιστατα ελεησον ημας
They called out, “Jesus, Master, please have mercy on us.”
14 και ιδων ειπεν αυτοις πορευθεντες επιδειξατε εαυτους τοις ιερευσιν και εγενετο εν τω υπαγειν αυτους εκαθαρισθησαν
When Jesus saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” On their way there, they were healed.
15 εις δε εξ αυτων ιδων οτι ιαθη υπεστρεψεν μετα φωνης μεγαλης δοξαζων τον θεον
One of them when he saw that he was healed, returned to Jesus, shouting praises to God.
16 και επεσεν επι προσωπον παρα τους ποδας αυτου ευχαριστων αυτω και αυτος ην σαμαρειτης
He fell down at Jesus' feet, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.
17 αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν ουχι οι δεκα εκαθαρισθησαν οι δε εννεα που
“Weren't ten lepers healed?” Jesus asked. “Where are the other nine?
18 ουχ ευρεθησαν υποστρεψαντες δουναι δοξαν τω θεω ει μη ο αλλογενης ουτος
Didn't anyone else come back to praise God—only this foreigner?”
19 και ειπεν αυτω αναστας πορευου η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
Jesus told the man, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust has healed you.”
20 επερωτηθεις δε υπο των φαρισαιων ποτε ερχεται η βασιλεια του θεου απεκριθη αυτοις και ειπεν ουκ ερχεται η βασιλεια του θεου μετα παρατηρησεως
Once, when the Pharisees came and asked him when God's kingdom would come, Jesus replied, “God's kingdom doesn't come with visible signs that you can observe.
21 ουδε ερουσιν ιδου ωδε η ιδου εκει ιδου γαρ η βασιλεια του θεου εντος υμων εστιν
People won't be saying, ‘Look, it's here’ or ‘Look, it's there,’ for God's kingdom is among you.”
22 ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας ελευσονται ημεραι οτε επιθυμησετε μιαν των ημερων του υιου του ανθρωπου ιδειν και ουκ οψεσθε
Then Jesus told the disciples, “The time is coming when you'll long to see the day when the Son of man comes, but you won't see it.
23 και ερουσιν υμιν ιδου ωδε η ιδου εκει μη απελθητε μηδε διωξητε
They'll be telling you, ‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is,’ but don't go running off after them.
24 ωσπερ γαρ η αστραπη η αστραπτουσα εκ της υπ ουρανον εις την υπ ουρανον λαμπει ουτως εσται και ο υιος του ανθρωπου εν τη ημερα αυτου
The day when the Son of man comes will be just like lightning that flashes, lighting up the sky from one side to the other.
25 πρωτον δε δει αυτον πολλα παθειν και αποδοκιμασθηναι απο της γενεας ταυτης
But first he will have to suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 και καθως εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις του νωε ουτως εσται και εν ταις ημεραις του υιου του ανθρωπου
The time when the Son of man comes will be like it was in Noah's day.
27 ησθιον επινον εγαμουν εξεγαμιζοντο αχρι ης ημερας εισηλθεν νωε εις την κιβωτον και ηλθεν ο κατακλυσμος και απωλεσεν απαντας
People went on eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 ομοιως και ως εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις λωτ ησθιον επινον ηγοραζον επωλουν εφυτευον ωκοδομουν
It will be like it was in Lot's day. People went on eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 η δε ημερα εξηλθεν λωτ απο σοδομων εβρεξεν πυρ και θειον απ ουρανου και απωλεσεν απαντας
But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 κατα ταυτα εσται η ημερα ο υιος του ανθρωπου αποκαλυπτεται
The day when the Son of man appears will be just like that.
31 εν εκεινη τη ημερα ος εσται επι του δωματος και τα σκευη αυτου εν τη οικια μη καταβατω αραι αυτα και ο εν τω αγρω ομοιως μη επιστρεψατω εις τα οπισω
If you're up on the roof that day don't go down and get your things; and if you're out in the fields don't go back home either.
32 μνημονευετε της γυναικος λωτ
Remember Lot's wife!
33 ος εαν ζητηση την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι απολεσει αυτην και ος εαν απολεση αυτην ζωογονησει αυτην
If you try to hold on to your life you'll lose it; but if you lose your life you'll save it.
34 λεγω υμιν ταυτη τη νυκτι εσονται δυο επι κλινης μιας ο εις παραληφθησεται και ο ετερος αφεθησεται
I tell you, at that time two will be in bed at night; one will be taken and the other left.
35 δυο εσονται αληθουσαι επι το αυτο μια παραληφθησεται και η ετερα αφεθησεται
Two women will be grinding grain, one will be taken; and the other left.”
37 και αποκριθεντες λεγουσιν αυτω που κυριε ο δε ειπεν αυτοις οπου το σωμα εκει συναχθησονται οι αετοι
“Where, Lord?” they asked. “Where the carcass is, that's where the vultures gather,” Jesus replied.
