OrthJBC - Luke - 17

17:1  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim, "It is impossible for the nissayon to sin not to come, but oy through whom it comes.

17:2  "It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he had been thrown into the sea than that he should cause a michshol (stumbling block) for these little ones.

17:3  "Pay attention to yourselves. If your ach sins and you rebuke him, and if he makes teshuva, grant him selicha (forgiveness).

17:4  "And if shevah pe'amim (seven times) during the yom he sins against you and shevah pe'amim he turns around to you saying, `I make teshuva,' you will grant him selicha.

17:5  And the Shluchim said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, "Increase our emunah."

17:6  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu said, "If you have emunah like a mustard seed, you would have said to this mulberry aitz, be uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have given you mishma'at.

17:7  "But who among you, having an eved plowing or tending kevesim, when he comes in from the sadeh, will say to him, `Here, come ofen ort (immediately) and recline at tish.'

17:8  "Rather, would he not say, `Prepare something that I may have okhel; gird up your tunic and serve me until I am satisfied, and after that, you may have okhel'?

17:9  "There is no obligatory effusive todah, when the eved only did his chiyuv (duty, what was commanded, that which one does to be yoitzeh).

17:10  "So also you, when you do all these things which are given you as mitzvot, say, `We are useless avadim, we only did our duty.'" REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH AND PESACH IN YERUSHALAYIM; ONLY ONE OF THE ANASHIM METZORA'IM IS MAKIR OF MOSHIACH; THE MONUMENTAL INGRATITUDE OF THE AM YISROEL FOR THEIR REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH; BE MAKIR DO NOT LOOK FOR ANOTHER!

17:11  And it came about while Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach goes to Yerushalayim, he was traveling through the middle of Shomron and the Galil.

17:12  And entering into a certain shtetl, some anashim metzora'im (leprous men) met Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and there were asarah (ten) of them. Keeping their distance, [Vayikra 13:45,46]

17:13  they shouted, saying, `Yehoshua, Moreinu, chaneinu!'

17:14  And having seen this, he said to them, `Go and show yourselves to the kohanim.' And it came about while they were going away that they were made metoharim (clean). [Vayikra 14:3]

17:15  And one of them, having seen that he had received refu'ah, returned with a kol gadol, saying "Baruch Hashem!"

17:16  And he fell on his face at the feet of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach giving todot. And he was a Shomroni (Samaritan).

17:17  And in reply Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, "Were there not asarah (ten) who were made metoharim? Now the tishah (nine), where are they?"

17:18  "Was none of them found to return and to give kavod (glory) to Hashem except this nokhri (foreigner)?"

17:19  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, "Get up and go. Your emunah (faith) has delivered you."

17:20  Now having been asked by the Perushim, "When comes the Malchut Hashem?" he replied, "The Malchut Hashem is not coming with things observable,

17:21  nor will they say `Hinei, here it is,' or `There it is,' for hinei, the Malchut Hashem is within you."

17:22  And he said to the talmidim, "Yamim are coming when you will long to see one of the yamim of the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14) and you will not see it.

17:23  "They will say to you, `Hinei, there it is!' or, `Hinei, here it is!' Do not go out after them nor pursue them.

17:24  "For as the lightning flashing out of one part under Shomayim lights up the other part under Shomayim, thus will be the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14) in his Yom.

17:25  "But b'rishonah it is necessary for him to suffer many things and to be rejected by HaDor HaZeh.

17:26  "And just as it was in the yamim of Noach, thus will it be also in the yamim of the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14). [Bereshis 6:5-8; 7:6-24]

17:27  "They were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage, until the yom when Noach entered into the Tevah (Ark) and haMabbul (the Flood) came and destroyed everything.

17:28  "Likewise, just as it was in the yamim of Lot. They were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building. [Bereshis 19:1-28]

17:29  "But on the yom when Lot went out from S'dom, from Shomayim it rained down aish and gofrit (sulphur) and destroyed everything.

17:30  "So it will be on the yom when the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14) is revealed.

17:31  "On that yom let not anyone on the rooftop come down back inside for any of his property in the bais, and the one in a sadeh likewise let him not turn back for things left behind.

17:32  "Have zikaron of the isha of Lot. [Bereshis 19:26]

17:33  "Whoever seeks to preserve his Chayyim will lose it, but whoever loses it, will preserve it.

17:34  "I say to you, in this lailah there will be two in one bed: one will be taken and the other will be left.

17:35  "There will be two grinding at the same place: one will be taken, but the other will be left."

17:37  And in reply they say to him, "Where, Adoneinu?" But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "Where the guf (body) is, there also the nesharim (vultures, eagles [popularly]) will be gathered together."
