The Thing Dem That Luke Write 17:1-37
17 Then he tell his disciple dem say: “The thing dem that can make people to sin will always be here. But it will be bad for the person who will make other people to sin!
2 It will be better if they tie big rock* on his neck, and throw him in the sea than for him to make one of this humble people to sin.
3 Yor must be careful. If your brother sin against you, make him to know the bad thing he na do, and if he repent, forgive him.
4 Even if your brother sin against you seven times in one day and he come back to you seven times, and say, ‘Sorry, forgive me,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Then the apostle dem tell Jesus say: “Help us to get strong faith.”
6 Then Jesus tell them say: “If yor get faith just like the size of the mustard seed,* yor will tell this tree,* ‘Move from here and go in the sea!’ and it will obey yor.
7 “Which one of yor who get slave that come from digging to plant on the farm or taking care of sheep will tell him say, ‘Come sit down and eat’?
8 But you will tell him say, ‘Go change your clothes and fix my evening food for me to eat. Then serve me until I finish eating and drinking. After that you can eat and drink’.
9 The master will not tell him thank you because he do the work his master tell him to do, ehn that true?
10 That the same way, when yor finish doing all the thing dem the Master tell yor to do, yor must say: ‘We just slave. The thing dem we do that just what we suppose to do.’”
11 When he wor going to Jerusalem, he pass through* Sa·mar′i·a and Gal′i·lee.
12 And when he wor entering one village, ten men who wor having leprosy came to him, but they wor standing far off.
13 They wor shouting and they say: “Jesus, Teacher, feel sorry for us!”
14 When Jesus saw them, he tell them say: “Yor go show yourself to the priests.” And when they wor going, they got well.
15 When one of them saw that he na get well, he went back and started praising God with loud voice.
16 And he kneel down in front of Jesus with his face to the ground, and he started telling him thank you. And this man wor from Sa·mar′i·a.
17 Then Jesus say: “Ehn all the ten men dem got well? So where the other nine men dem?
18 So nobody come back to praise God only this man who from different country?”
19 Then Jesus tell him say: “Get up and go. Your faith na make you well.”
20 When the Pharisee dem ask him when God Kingdom will come, he tell them say: “The way God Kingdom will come, everybody will not notice it.
21 And people will not say, ‘Look here!’ or, ‘Look over there!’ Because see! God Kingdom among yor.”
22 Then he tell the disciple dem say: “Time will come when yor will really want see the time when the Son of man wor with yor, but it will not happen.
23 And people will tell yor say, ‘Look over there!’ or, ‘Look here!’ But don’t believe it or follow them.
24 Because just how the lightning can flash from one part of the heaven and shine to the other part of the heaven, that how the Son of man will be on that day.
25 But first, he will really suffer and this generation will not accept him.
26 Also, just how things happen in Noah time, that the same way it will be looking during the time of the Son of man.
27 That time people wor eating and drinking, men and women wor getting marry until the day Noah enter in the ark. And the Flood came and kill all of them.
28 That the same way things happen during Lot time. The people wor eating, they wor drinking, they wor buying, they wor selling, they wor planting and they wor building.
29 But fire and sulfur fall down from heaven and kill all of them on the day that Lot left from Sod′om.
30 That the same way it will be when the Son of man show hisself to people.
31 “On that day the person who on top of the house must not come down to take his thing dem from in the house. That the same way, the person that on the farm must not come back for the thing dem he leave behind.
32 Remember what happen to Lot wife.
33 Anybody who want save his life will lose it, but anybody who lose his life* will get it back.
34 Let me tell yor, during that night two people will be laying down on one bed, God will take one person and he will leave the other person behind.
35 Two women will be grinding something with the same grinding stone. God will take one person, but he will leave the other person behind.”
36 * ——
37 Then they ask him: “Lord, where all this one dem will happen?” He tell them say: “The place the dead body eh, that the place the eagle dem will come together.”
