Luke 17
1 येशूले उहाँको चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसमा पाप गराउने घटनाहरू घट्छन् नै। तर जसले त्यसो गर्छ, उसलाई अत्यन्तै दुःख हुन्छ।
2 त्यो मानिस जो दुर्वल मानिसहरूमाथि अन्याय गर्छ त्यसले कठोर प्रतिफल भोग्नु पर्छ। तर त्यसको लागि गलामा जाँतो बाँधेर सागरमा फ्याँकिनु असल हुनेछ।
3 यसकारण होशियार बस।“यदि तिम्रो भाइले पापहरू गर्दैछ भने उसको दोष देखाइ देऊ। तर उसले पश्चाताप गर्छ र पाप गर्न बन्द गर्छ भने उसलाई क्षमा गर।
4 तिम्रो भाइ यदि दिनमा सातवटा भूल गर्छ र यदी उसले प्रत्येक पल्ट नै भूल स्वीकार्छ भने उसलाई क्षमा गर्नु।”
5 प्रेरितहरूले प्रभुलाई भने, “हाम्रो विश्वास बढाइदिनोस्।”
6 प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “यदि तिमीमा रायोको गेडा जत्रो मात्र विश्वास छ भने, तिमीहरू त्यस कालो किम्बुको रूखलाई भन्न सक्छौ, तँ आफै उखेलिएर समूद्रमा रोपिन जा! अनि त्यो रुखले तिमीहरूको आज्ञा पालन गर्नेछ।विश्वासी नोकर हुने चेष्टा गर
7 “मानिलेऊ तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैको एकजना नोकर छ जो खेत जोतिरहेको हुन्छ अथवा भेडा चराइरहेको छ। जब काम सिध्याएर भित्र आँउछ, त्यलाई तिमी के भन्छौ? आऊ अनि खाना खान बस?’
8 अँह! तिमी त्यो नोकरलाई भन्नेछौ, ‘मेरो निम्ति खाना तयार पार खाई पिई सक्छु तब तिमी खाऊ।’
9 नोकरले त्यसरी आदेश पालन गरेकोमा त्यो अभारी हुन्छ? हुँदैन।
10 तिमीसंग पनि यस्तै हो। जब तिमीहरूलाई गर्नु दिएको प्रत्येक काम गर्दछौ, तिमीरूले भन्नु पर्छ, हामी कुनै खास धन्यवाद पाउने योग्यको होइनौ। हामीले जे गर्नु पर्ने थियो त्यही काम मात्र गरेकाछौं।”‘
11 येशू यरूशलेमतिर जाँदै हुनु हुन्थ्यो। उहाँ सामरिया र गालील हुँदै जानु भयो।
12 उहाँ एउट गाँउमा आइपुग्नु भयो। त्यहाँ उहाँलाइ दसजना मानिसहरूले भेटे। ती मानिसहरू येशूको एकदम नजिक आएनन्, किनभने तिनीहरू सबै कोडीका विमारीहरू थिए।
13 तर ती मानिसहरूले येशूलाई चर्को स्वरमा भने, “हे येशू गुरुज्यु! दया गरी हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस्।”
14 जब येशूले ती मानिसहरूलाई देख्नु भयो, उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ अनि पूजाहारीहरूलाई तिमीहरू आफैलाई देखाऊ।”जब ती दशजना मानिसहरू पूजाहारीहरूकहाँ जाँदै थिए, तिनहरू निको भए।
15 जब कुनै एकजना मानिसले आफू निको भएको थाहा पायो, त्यो फर्केर येशूकहाँ गयो। त्यसले ठूलो स्वरमा परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढायो।
16 त्यो येशूको चरणमा घोप्टियो अनि येशूलाई धन्यवाद चढायो। त्यो मानिस यहूदी नभई सामरी थियो।
17 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “दशजना मानिस निको भए, ठीक हो? अरू नौ जना कहाँ छन्?
18 के यो सामरी मात्र परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाउन आएको?”
19 तब येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ! तिमी जान सक्छौ। तिम्रो विश्वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ।”
20 कोही फरिसीहरूले येशूलाई सोधे, “परमेश्वरको राज्य कहिले आउनेछ?”येशूले भन्नुभयो, “परमेश्वरको राज्य आउँदैछ तर त्यसरि आउँदैन जुन तिम्रो आँखाले देख्न सक्छौ।
21 मानिसहरूले भन्ने छन्, हेर परमेश्वरको राज्य यहाँ छ! अथवा, त्यहाँ छ! होइन, परमेश्वरको राज्य तिमीभित्रै छ।”
22 तब येशूले चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “समय आउनेछ जब तिमीहरूले मानिसको पुत्रको कुनै दिन हेर्नलाई खुबै चाहना गर्नेछौ, तिमीहरू हेर्ने योग्यका हुने छैनौ।
23 मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, हेर्, यो त्यहाँ छ! अथवा हेर, यो यहाँ छ!’ जहाँ छौ तिमीहरू त्यहीं बस, टाडा नजाऊ अनि नखोज।
24 “तिमीहरूले यो जान्नेछौ कि मानिसको पुत्र फेरि कहिले आउनु हुन्छ। उहाँको आउने दिन बिजुली जस्तो हुनेछ जुन आकाशको एक अनबाट अर्को अन्त सम्म चम्कन्छ।
25 तर त्यो भन्दा अघि, मानिसको पुत्रले अनेकौं कष्टहरू सहनु पर्छ अनि यो पुस्ताका मानिसहरूबाट अस्वीकृत हुनुपर्छ।
26 मानिसको पुत्र आँउदा पनि त्यही हुनेछ जुन नूहको समयमा भएको थियो।
27 नूहको समयमा, जब सम्म नूह डुङ्गामा पसेनन् मानिसहरू खान्थे, पिउँथे, विवाह गर्दै थिए, अनि गाउँदैथिए। तब बाढी आयो अनि सबै नष्ट पारयो।
28 यो पनि लूतको समय जस्तै हुनेछ जब परमेश्वरले सदोमको सर्वनाश गर्नुभयो। ती मानिसहरू खाँदै थिए, पिउँदै थिए, किन्दै थिए, विक्री गर्दै थिए, रोप्दै थिए अनि आफ्नै लागि भवनहरू बानउँदै थिए।
29 लूतले शहर छाडने समय सम्म मानिसहरू यी सब गरिरहेकै थिए। तब आकाशबाट आगो र गन्धक बर्स्यो अनि प्रत्येकलाई नष्ट पार्यो।
30 जब मानिसको पुत्र आउनु हुन्छ, एकदमै त्यही हुनेछ।
31 “त्यसदिन, यदि कोही मानिस उसको घरको छानामा छ भने, अनि उसको समानहरू घरभित्र छ भने ऊ ती समानहरू लिन जानु पर्दैन। त्यसरी यदि कोही मानिस खेतमा छ भने त्यसले पनि घर र्फकिनु पर्दैन।
32 विचार गर, लूतकी पत्नीलाई के भएको थियो।
33 जुन मानिसले आफ्नो जीवन बचाउँनु चहान्छ उसले त्यो गुमाउनेछ। तर कसैले आफ्नो जीवन गुमाउँछ भने त्यसले त्यो बचाँउनेछ।
34 त्यसबेला एउटा पलङ्गमा दुइजना मानिसहरू एक साथ सुतिरहेका हुनेछन्, एकजनालाई लगिनेछ अनि अर्कोलाई छोडिनेछ।
35 दुईजना स्त्रीहरू एक साथ काम गरिरहेका हुनेछन,
36 एउटीलाई लगिनेछ अनि अर्कीलाई छोडिनेछ।”
37 चेलाहरूले येशूलाई भने, “यो कहाँ हुनेछ, प्रभु?”येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो, “जहाँ लाश हुन्छ त्यहाँ गिद्धहरू भेला हुन्छन्।”
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 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
