< Luke 10 >

1 And, after these things, the Lord appointed seventy two others, and sent them forth, two and two before his face, into every city and place whither, he himself, was about to come.
And aftir these thingis the Lord Jhesu ordeynede also othir seuenti and tweyn, and sente hem bi tweyn and tweyn bifor his face in to euery citee and place, whidir he was to come.
2 And he was saying unto them—The harvest, indeed, is, great, but, the labourers, few; beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, that he would thrust forth, labourers, into his harvest.
And he seide to hem, There is myche ripe corn, and fewe werke men; therfor preie ye the lord of the ripe corn, that he sende werke men in to his ripe corn.
3 Withdraw! Lo! I send you forth as lambs amid wolves.
Go ye, lo! Y sende you as lambren among wolues.
4 Be not carrying purse, or satchel, or sandals, and, no one along the road, salute ye;
Therfor nyle ye bere a sachel, nethir scrippe, nethir schoon, and greete ye no man bi the weie.
5 And, into whatsoever house ye enter, First, say, Peace to this house!
In to what hous that ye entren, first seie ye, Pees to this hous.
6 And, if the son of peace be, there, your peace, shall rest upon it; but, otherwise, at least, unto you, shall it return.
And if a sone of pees be there, youre pees schal reste on hym; but if noon, it schal turne ayen to you.
7 And, in the self-same house, abide ye, eating and drinking such things as they have; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his hire: be not removing from house to house.
And dwelle ye in the same hous, etynge and drynkynge tho thingis that ben at hem; for a werk man is worthi his hire. Nyle ye passe from hous in to hous.
8 And, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they bid you welcome, be eating such things as are set before you;
And in to what euer citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you, ete ye tho thingis that ben set to you;
9 And be curing the sick that are, therein, and be saying unto them—The kingdom of God hath drawn nigh upon you.
and heele ye the sijke men that ben in that citee. And seie ye to hem, The kyngdom of God schal neiye in to you.
10 But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye:
In to what citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you not, go ye out in to the streetis of it,
11 Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice—The kingdom of God hath drawn near.
and seie ye, We wipen of ayens you the poudir that cleued to vs of youre citee; netheles wite ye this thing, that the rewme of God schal come nyy.
12 I tell you, for them of Sodom, in that day, more tolerable, will it be, than for that city.
Y seie to you, that to Sodom it schal be esiere than to that citee in that dai.
13 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power which have been down in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes sitting, they would have repented.
Wo to thee, Corosayn; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the vertues hadden be don, whiche han be don in you, sum tyme thei wolden haue sete in heyre and asches, and haue don penaunce.
14 Moreover, for Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the judgment, than, for you.
Netheles to Tire and Sidon it schal be esiere in the doom than to you.
15 And, thou, Capernaum, —Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? …Unto hades, thou shalt be brought down! (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Cafarnaum, art enhaunsid `til to heuene; thou schalt be drenchid `til in to helle. (Hadēs g86)
16 He that hearkeneth unto you, unto me, doth hearken, and, he that setteth you aside, doth set, me, aside; and, he that setteth, me, aside, doth set aside, him that sent me.
He that herith you, herith me; and he that dispisith you, dispisith me; and he that dispisith me, dispisith hym that sente me.
17 And the seventy [-two] returned, with joy, saying—Lord! even the demons, submit themselves unto us, in thy name!
And the two and seuenti disciplis turneden ayen with ioye, and seiden, Lord, also deuelis ben suget to vs in thi name.
18 And he said unto them—I was beholding Satan, when, like lightning, out of heaven, he fell!
And he seide to hem, Y saiy Sathnas fallynge doun fro heuene, as leit.
19 Lo! I have given you the authority—to be treading upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and, nothing, unto you, shall in anywise do harm;
And lo! Y haue youun to you power to trede on serpentis, and on scorpyouns, and on al the vertu of the enemy, and nothing schal anoye you.
20 Notwithstanding, in this, be not rejoicing—that, the spirits, unto you submit themselves; but be rejoicing—that, your names, are inscribed in the heavens!
Netheles nyle ye ioye on this thing, that spiritis ben suget to you; but ioye ye, that youre names ben writun in heuenes.
21 In the self-same hour, exulted he in the Holy Spirit, and said—I openly give praise unto thee, Father! Lord of heaven and earth! in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes, —Yea, O Father! that, so, hath it become, a delight, before thee.
In thilk our he gladide in the Hooli Goost, and seide, Y knouleche to thee, fadir, Lord of heuene and of erthe, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wise men and prudent, and hast schewid hem to smale children. Yhe, fadir, for so it pleside bifor thee.
22 All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, knoweth, who the Son is, save the Father, —and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son may be minded to reveal him.
Alle thingis ben youun to me of my fadir, and no man woot, who is the sone, but the fadir; and who is the fadir, but the sone, and to whom the sone wole schewe.
23 And, turning unto his disciples, privately, he said—Happy, the eyes, that see what ye see!
And he turnede to hise disciplis, and seide, Blessid ben the iyen, that seen tho thingis that ye seen.
24 For I tell you, Many prophets and kings, have desired to see what, ye, see, and they saw not, and to hear what ye hear, and they heard not.
For Y seie to you, that many prophetis and kyngis wolden haue seie tho thingis, that ye seen, and thei sayn not; and here tho thingis, that ye heren, and thei herden not.
25 And lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying—Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
And lo! a wise man of the lawe ros vp, temptynge hym, and seiynge, Maister, what thing schal Y do to haue euerlastynge lijf? (aiōnios g166)
26 And, he, said unto him—In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?
And he seide to hym, What is writun in the lawe? hou redist thou?
27 And, he, answering, said—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself?
He answeride, and seide, Thou schalt loue thi Lord God of al thin herte, and of al thi soule, and of alle thi strengthis, and of al thi mynde; and thi neiybore as thi silf.
28 And he said unto him—Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.
And Jhesus seide to hym, Thou hast answerid riytli; do this thing, and thou schalt lyue.
29 But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus—And, who is, my, neighbour?
But he willynge to iustifie hym silf, seide to Jhesu, And who is my neiybore?
30 And taking up [the question], Jesus said—A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, —who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.
And Jhesu biheld, and seide, A man cam doun fro Jerusalem in to Jerico, and fel among theues, and thei robbiden hym, and woundiden hym, and wente awei, and leften the man half alyue.
31 And, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
And it bifel, that a prest cam doun the same weie, and passide forth, whanne he hadde seyn hym.
32 And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.
Also a dekene, whanne he was bisidis the place, and saiy him, passide forth.
33 But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion;
But a Samaritan, goynge the weie, cam bisidis hym; and he siy hym, and hadde reuthe on hym;
34 and, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine, —and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an inn, and took care of him.
and cam to hym, and boond togidir hise woundis, and helde in oyle and wynne; and leide hym on his beest, and ledde in to an ostrie, and dide the cure of hym.
35 And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said—Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.
And another dai he brouyte forth twey pans, and yaf to the ostiler, and seide, Haue the cure of hym; and what euer thou schalt yyue ouer, Y schal yelde to thee, whanne Y come ayen.
36 Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?
Who of these thre, semeth to thee, was neiybore to hym, that fel among theues?
37 And, he, said—He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him—Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.
And he seide, He that dide merci in to hym. And Jhesus seide to hym, Go thou, and do thou on lijk maner.
38 And, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed him into her house.
And it was don, while thei wenten, he entride in to a castel; and a womman, Martha bi name, resseyuede hym in to hir hous.
39 And, she, had a sister, called Mary, who also, seating herself at the feet of the Lord, was hearing his word.
And to this was a sistir, Marie bi name, which also sat bisidis the feet of the Lord, and herde his word.
40 But, Martha, was distracted about much ministering, and, coming near, said—Lord! carest thou not that, my sister, hath left me to be ministering, alone? Speak to her, then, that she help me.
But Martha bisiede aboute the ofte seruyce. And sche stood, and seide, Lord, takist thou no kepe, that my sistir hath left me aloone to serue? therfor seie thou to hir, that sche helpe me.
41 But the Lord, answering, said to her—Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
And the Lord answerde, and seide to hir, Martha, Martha, thou art bysi, and art troublid aboute ful many thingis;
42 Of few things, is there need, or, of one; Mary, in fact, hath chosen, the good part, —one which shall not be taken away from her.
but o thing is necessarie. Marie hath chosun the best part, which schal not be takun awei fro hir.
