Luke 10
1 After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
Post hæc autem designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos. Et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem, et locum, quo erat ipse venturus.
2 ‘The harvest,’ he said, ‘is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. Rogate ergo Dominum messis ut mittat operarios in messem suam.
3 Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
Ite: ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos.
4 Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
Nolite portare sacculum, neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem per viam salutaveritis.
5 Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite: Pax huic domui:
6 Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.
et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertetur.
7 Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
In eadem autem domo manete edentes, et bibentes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum.
8 Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate quæ apponuntur vobis:
9 cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis: Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei.
10 But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
In quamcumque autem civitatem intraveritis, et non susceperint vos, exeuntes in plateas eius, dicite:
11 “We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.”
Etiam pulverem, qui adhæsit nobis de civitate vestra, extergimus in vos: tamen hoc scitote, quia appropinquavit regnum Dei.
12 I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
Dico vobis, quia Sodomis in die illa remissius erit, quam illi civitati.
13 Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
Væ tibi Corozain, væ tibi Bethsaida: quia si in Tyro, et Sidone factæ fuissent virtutes, quæ factæ sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio, et cinere sedentes pœniterent.
14 Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
Verumtamen Tyro, et Sidoni remissius erit in iudicio, quam vobis.
15 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
Et tu Capharnaum usque ad cælum exaltata, usque ad infernum demergeris. (Hadēs g86)
16 Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.’
Qui vos audit, me audit: et qui vos spernit, me spernit. Qui autem me spernit, spernit eum, qui misit me.
17 When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’
Reversi sunt autem septuaginta duo cum gaudio, dicentes: Domine, etiam dæmonia subiiciuntur nobis in nomine tuo.
18 And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
Et ait illis: Videbam Satanam sicut fulgor de cælo cadentem.
19 Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.
Ecce dedi vobis potestatem calcandi supra serpentes, et scorpiones, et super omnem virtutem inimici: et nihil vobis nocebit.
20 Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.’
Verumtamen in hoc nolite gaudere quia spiritus vobis subiiciuntur: gaudete autem, quod nomina vestra scripta sunt in cælis.
21 At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
In ipsa hora exultavit Spiritu Sancto, et dixit: Confiteor tibi Pater, Domine cæli et terræ, quod abscondisti hæc a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis. Etiam Pater: quoniam sic placuit ante te.
22 Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.’
Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo scit quis sit Filius, nisi Pater: et quis sit Pater, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare.
23 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
Et conversus ad discipulos suos, dixit: Beati oculi, qui vident quæ vos videtis.
24 for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.’
Dico enim vobis, quod multi prophetæ, et reges voluerunt videre quæ vos videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
25 Just then a student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
Et ecce quidam legis peritus surrexit tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciendo vitam æternam possidebo? (aiōnios g166)
26 ‘What is said in the Law?’ answered Jesus. ‘What do you read there?’
At ille dixit ad eum: In lege quid scriptum est? Quomodo legis?
27 His reply was – ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as you love yourself.’
Ille respondens dixit: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex omnibus virtutibus tuis, et ex omni mente tua: et proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
28 ‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus, ‘Do that, and you will live.’
Dixitque illi: Recte respondisti: hoc fac, et vives.
29 But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
Ille autem volens iustificare seipsum, dixit ad Iesum: Et quis est meus proximus?
30 To which Jesus replied, ‘A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
Suscipiens autem Iesus, dixit: Homo quidam descendebat ab Ierusalem in Iericho, et incidit in latrones, qui etiam despoliaverunt eum: et plagis impositis abierunt semivivo relicto.
31 As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
Accidit autem ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via: et viso illo præterivit.
32 A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
Similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum, et videret eum, pertransiit.
33 But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericordia motus est.
34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Et appropians alligavit vulnera eius, infundens oleum, et vinum: et imponens illum in iumentum suum, duxit in stabulum, et curam eius egit.
35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Take care of him,” he said, “and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.”
Et altera die protulit duos denarios, et dedit stabulario, et ait: Curam illius habe: et quodcumque supererogaveris, ego cum rediero reddam tibi.
36 Now which, do you think, of these three men,’ asked Jesus, ‘proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?’
Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones?
37 ‘The one that took pity on him,’ was the answer; at which Jesus said, ‘Go and do the same yourself.’
At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericordiam in illum. Et ait illi Iesus: Vade, et tu fac similiter.
38 As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
Factum est autem, dum irent, et ipse intravit in quoddam castellum: et mulier quædam Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam,
39 She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
et huic erat soror nomine Maria, quæ etiam sedens secus pedes Domini, audiebat verbum illius.
40 but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said, ‘Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.’
Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium: quæ stetit, et ait: Domine, non est tibi curæ quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? dic ergo illi, ut me adiuvet.
41 ‘Martha, Martha,’ replied the Master, ‘you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
Et respondens dixit illis Dominus: Martha, Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima.
42 but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.’
Porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quæ non auferetur ab ea.
