Lukas 17:2-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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 for these little ones.

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

4. And if shevah paamim during the yom he sins against you and shevah paamim he turns around to you saying, I make teshuva, you will grant him selicha.

5. And the Shlichim said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoneinu, increase our emunah.

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

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

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?

9. There is no obligatory effusive todah, when the eved only did his chiyuv (duty).

13. They shouted, saying, Yehoshua, Rabbi, chaneinu!

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]

15. And one of them, having seen that he had received refuah, returned with a kol gadol (loud voice), saying Baruch Hashem!

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

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

18. Was none of them found to turn around and return and give kavod (glory) to Hashem except this nokhri (foreigner)?
