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.
| ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܦܪܫ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܠܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܘܡܕܝܢܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ |
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.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܨܕܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܒܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܦܥܠܐ ܠܚܨܕܗ |
3 Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
| ܙܠܘ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܕܐܒܐ |
4 Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
| ܠܐ ܬܫܩܠܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܝܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܢܐ ܘܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܐܠܘܢ |
5 Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
| ܘܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܡܪܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ |
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.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܒܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܢܬܬܢܝܚ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܢܗܦܘܟ |
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.
| ܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܟܕ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܦܥܠܐ ܐܓܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ |
8 Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
| ܘܠܐܝܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܥܤܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܬܤܝܡ ܠܟܘܢ |
9 cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
| ܘܐܤܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܪܝܗܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܬ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
10 But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
| ܠܐܝܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ |
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.”
| ܘܐܦ ܚܠܐ ܕܕܒܩ ܠܢ ܒܪܓܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܢܦܨܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܪܡ ܗܕܐ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
12 I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܤܕܘܡ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ |
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.
| ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܟܘܪܙܝܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘ ܒܨܘܪ ܘܒܨܝܕܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝܢ ܟܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܤܩܐ ܘܒܩܛܡܐ ܬܒܘ |
14 Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
| ܒܪܡ ܠܨܘܪ ܘܠܨܝܕܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝܢ |
15 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
| ܘܐܢܬܝ ܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܗܝ ܕܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܬܪܝܡܬܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܝܘܠ ܬܬܚܬܝܢ (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.’
| ܡܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܫܡܥ ܠܝ ܫܡܥ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܛܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܛܠܡ ܛܠܡ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ |
17 When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’
| ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܕܫܕܪ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܦ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܢ ܒܫܡܟ |
18 And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܩܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ |
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.
| ܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܫܝܢ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܘܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܗܪܟܘܢ |
20 Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.’
| ܒܪܡ ܒܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܬܚܕܘܢ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕܘ ܕܫܡܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܬܟܬܒܘ ܒܫܡܝܐ |
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.
| ܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܪܘܙ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܒܝ ܡܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܤܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܤܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܝܠܘܕܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܒܝ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ |
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.’
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܐܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܢ ܢܨܒܐ ܒܪܐ ܕܢܓܠܐ |
23 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܝܢܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܙܝܢ |
24 for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.’
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ |
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)
| ܘܗܐ ܤܦܪܐ ܚܕ ܩܡ ܕܢܢܤܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܪܬ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166) |
26 ‘What is said in the Law?’ answered Jesus. ‘What do you read there?’
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ |
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.’
| ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܘܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ |
28 ‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus, ‘Do that, and you will live.’
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܘܬܚܐ |
29 But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܙܕܩܘ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܘܡܢܘ ܩܪܝܒܝ |
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.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܤܛܝܐ ܘܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܒܗ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ |
31 As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
| ܘܓܕܫ ܟܗܢܐ ܚܕ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܗܝ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܥܒܪ |
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.
| ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܘܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܛܐ ܠܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܥܒܪ |
33 But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
| ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
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.
| ܘܐܬܩܪܒ ܘܥܨܒ ܡܚܘܬܗ ܘܢܨܠ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܥܠ ܚܡܪܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܦܘܬܩܐ ܘܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܗ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
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.”
| ܘܠܨܦܪܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܐܦܩ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܦܘܬܩܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܝܬܝܪ ܬܦܩ ܡܐ ܕܗܦܟ ܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ |
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?’
| ܡܢܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܕܗܘܐ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܢܦܠ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܓܝܤܐ |
37 ‘The one that took pity on him,’ was the answer; at which Jesus said, ‘Go and do the same yourself.’
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕ |
38 As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܪܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܥܠ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܩܒܠܬܗ ܒܒܝܬܗ |
39 She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
| ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܬܬ ܝܬܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܫܡܥܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܘܗܝ |
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.’
| ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܟ ܕܚܬܝ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܠܡܫܡܫܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܥܕܪܐ ܠܝ |
41 ‘Martha, Martha,’ replied the Master, ‘you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
| ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܨܦܬܝ ܘܪܗܝܒܬܝ ܥܠ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ |
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.’
| ܚܕܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܬܒܥܝܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܓܒܬ ܠܗ ܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܢܤܒ ܡܢܗ |
