లూకా సువార్త 17

1 ఆయన తన శిష్యులతో ఇట్లనెను అభ్యంతరములు రాకపోవుట అసాధ్యముకాని అవి ఎవనివలన వచ్చునో వానికి శ్రమ.

2 వాడీ చిన్నవారిలో ఒకనికి అభ్యంతరము కలుగజేయుటకంటె వాని మెడకు తిరు గటిరాయి కట్టబడి సముద్రములో పడద్రోయబడుట వానికి మేలు.

3 మీ విషయమై మీరే జాగ్రత్తగా ఉండుడి. నీ సహో దరుడు తప్పిదము చేసినయెడల అతని గద్దించుము; అతడు మారుమనస్సు పొందిన యెడల అతని క్షమించుము.

4 అతడు ఒక దినమున ఏడుమారులు నీయెడల తప్పిదము చేసి యేడు మారులు నీవైపుతిరిగిమారుమనస్సు పొందితి ననినయెడల అతని క్షమింపవలెననెను.

5 అపొస్తలులుమా విశ్వాసము వృద్ధిపొందించుమని ప్రభువుతో చెప్పగా

6 ప్రభువుమీరు ఆవగింజంత విశ్వాసము గలవారైతే ఈ కంబళిచెట్టును చూచినీవు వేళ్లతోకూడ పెల్లగింపబడి సముద్రములో నాటబడుమని చెప్పునప్పుడు అది మీకు లోబడును.

7 దున్నువాడు గాని మేపువాడు గాని మీలో ఎవనికైన ఒక దాసుడుండగా, వాడు పొలములోనుండి వచ్చి నప్పుడునీవు ఇప్పడే వెళ్లి భోజనము చేయుమని వానితో చెప్పునా? చెప్పడు.

8 అంతేకాకనేను భోజనము చేయుటకు ఏమైనను సిద్ధ పరచి, నడుము కట్టుకొని నేను అన్నపానములు పుచ్చు కొనువరకు నాకు పరిచారము చేయుము; అటుతరువాత నీవు అన్నపానములు పుచ

9 ఆ దాసుడు ఆజ్ఞాపింపబడిన పనులు చేసి నందుకు వాడు దయచూపెనని వానిని మెచ్చునా?

10 అటువలె మీరును మీకు ఆజ్ఞాపింపబడినవన్నియు చేసిన తరువాతమేము నిష్‌ప్రయోజకులమైన దాసులము, మేము చేయవలసినవే చేసియున్నామని చెప్పుడనెను.

11 ఆయన యెరూషలేమునకు ప్రయాణమై పోవుచు సమరయ గలిలయల మధ్యగా వెళ్లుచుండెను.

12 ఆయన యొక గ్రామములోనికి వెళ్లుచుండగా పది మంది కుష్ఠ రోగులు ఆయనకు ఎదురుగా వచ్చి దూరమున నిలిచి

13 యేసు ప్రభువా, మమ్ము కరుణించుమని కేకలు వేసిరి.

14 ఆయన వారిని చూచిమీరు వెళ్లి, మిమ్మును యాజకులకు కనుపరచుకొనుడని వారితో చెప్పెను. వారు వెళ్లు చుండగా, శుద్ధులైరి.

15 వారిలో ఒకడు తనకు స్వస్థత కలుగుట చూచి

16 గొప్ప శబ్దముతో దేవుని మహిమ పరచుచు, తిరిగి వచ్చి ఆయనకు కృతజ్ఞతాస్తుతులు చెల్లిం చుచు, ఆయన పాదములయొద్ద సాగిలపడెను; వాడు సమరయుడు.

17 అందుకు యేసుపదిమంది శుద్ధులైరి కారా; ఆ తొమ్మండుగురు ఎక్కడ?

18 ఈ అన్యుడు తప్ప దేవుని మహిమపరచుటకు తిరిగి వచ్చినవాడెవడును అగపడలేదా అని చెప్పి

19 నీవు లేచిపొమ్ము, నీ విశ్వా సము నిన్ను స్వస్థపరచెనని వానితో చెప్పెను.

20 దేవుని రాజ్యమెప్పుడు వచ్చునని పరిసయ్యులు ఆయన నడిగినప్పుడు ఆయనదేవుని రాజ్యము ప్రత్యక్షముగా రాదు.

21 ఎందుకనగా ఇదిగో దేవుని రాజ్యము మీ మధ్యనే యున్నది గనుక, ఇదిగో యిక్కడనని, అదిగో అక్కడనని చెప్ప వీలుపడదని వారికి ఉత్తర మిచ్చెను.

22 మరియు ఆయన తన శిష్యులతో ఇట్లనెనుమనుష్య కుమారుని దినములలో ఒకదినము చూడవలెనని మీరు కోరు దినములు వచ్చునుగాని మీరు ఆ దినమును చూడరు.

23 వారుఇదిగో యిక్కడనని అదిగో అక్కడనని మీతో చెప్పినయెడల వెళ్లకుడి, వెంబడింప కుడి.

24 ఆకాశము క్రింద ఒక దిక్కునుండి మెరుపుమెరిసి, ఆకాశముక్రింద మరియొక దిక్కున కేలాగు ప్రకాశించునో ఆలాగున మనుష్యకుమారుడు తన దినమున ఉండును.

25 అయితే ముందుగా ఆయన అనేక హింసలు పొంది యీ తరము వారిచేత ఉపేక్షింపబడవలెను.

26 నోవహు దినములలో జరిగినట్టు మనుష్యకుమారుని దినములలోను జరుగును.

27 నోవహు ఓడలోనికి వెళ్లిన దినమువరకు జనులు తినుచు త్రాగుచు పెండ్లాడుచు పెండ్లి కియ్యబడుచు నుండిరి; అంతలో జలప్రళయము వచ్చి వారినందరిని నాశనముచేసెను.

28 లోతు దినములలో జరిగి నట్టును జరుగును. జనులు తినుచు త్రాగుచు కొనుచు అమ్ముచు నారు నాటుచు ఇండ్లు కట్టుచు నుండిరి.

29 అయితే లోతు సొదొమ విడిచిపోయిన దినమున ఆకాశము నుండి అగ్ని గంధకములు కురిసి వారినందరిని నాశనము చేసెను.

30 ఆ ప్రకారమే మనుష్యకుమారుడు ప్రత్యక్ష మగు దినమున జరుగును.

31 ఆ దినమున మిద్దెమీద ఉండు వాడు ఇంట ఉండు తన సామగ్రిని తీసికొనిపోవుటకు దిగ కూడదు; ఆలాగే పొలములో ఉండువాడును తిరిగి రాకూడదు.

32 లోతు భార్యను జ్ఞాపకము చేసికొనుడి.

33 తన ప్రాణమును రక్షించుకొనగోరువాడు దానిని పోగొట్టుకొనును, దాని పోగొట్టుకొనువాడు దానిని సజీవ ముగా కాపాడుకొనును.

34 ఆ రాత్రి యిద్దరొక్క మంచముమీద ఉందురు; వారిలో ఒకరు కొనిపోబడును ఒకరు విడిచిపెట్టబడును.

35 ఇద్దరు స్త్రీలు ఒక్క తిరుగలి విసరుచుందురు; ఒకతె కొనిపోబడును ఒకతె విడిచిపెట్ట బడుననెను.

36 శిష్యులు ప్రభువా, యిది ఎక్కడ (జరుగు) నని ఆయన నడిగినందుకు

37 ఆయనపీనుగు ఎక్కడ ఉన్నదో అక్కడ గద్దలును పోగవునని వారితో చెప్పెను.

1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

8 But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.

34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

38 But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
