< Luke 10 >

1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Niin asetti Herra toiset seitsemänkymmentä, ja lähetti heitä kaksin ja kaksin edellänsä joka kaupunkiin ja paikkaan, kuhunka hän itse oli tuleva.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Niin hän sanoi heille: eloa tosin on paljo, vaan työväkeä on vähä: rukoilkaat siis elon Herraa, työväkeä lähettämään eloonsa.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Menkäät: katso, minä lähetän teidät niinkuin karitsat sutten keskelle.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Älkäät ottako säkkiä, eikä kukkaroa, eikä kenkiä, ja älkäät ketään tervehtikö tiellä.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Mutta kuhunka huoneesen te menette sisälle, niin sanokaat ensisti: rauha olkoon tälle huoneelle!
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Ja jos siellä on rauhan lapsi, niin teidän rauhanne jää hänen päällensä; mutta jos ei, niin se palajaa teille.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Mutta siinä huoneessa viipykäät, syökäät ja juokaat sitä, mitä heillä on; sillä työmies on palkkansa ansiollinen. Älkäät huoneesta huoneeseen käykö.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
Mutta kuhunka kaupunkiin te tulette sisälle, ja he teitä ottavat vastaan, niin syökäät mitä teidän eteenne pannaan,
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Ja parantakaat sairaita, joita siinä on, ja sanokaat heille: Jumalan valtakunta on teitä lähestynyt.
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Mutta kuhunka kaupunkiin te tulette sisälle, ja ei he teitä ota vastaan, niin menkäät ulos sen kaduille, ja sanokaat:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
Tomunkin, joka teidän kaupungistanne tarttui meihin, me pudistamme teille: kuitenkin se tietäkäät, että Jumalan valtakunta oli teitä lähestynyt.
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Minä sanon teille: Sodomalle pitää sinä päivänä huokiampi oleman kuin sille kaupungille.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Voi sinua Koratsin! voi sinua Betsaida! sillä jos Tyrossa ja Sidonissa olisivat senkaltaiset voimalliset työt tehdyt kuin teidän tykönänne ovat tehdyt, niin he olisivat jo aikaa säkissä ja tuhassa istuneet ja parannuksen tehneet.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Kuitenkin Tyrolle ja Sidonille pitää huokiampi tuomiolle oleman kuin teille.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Ja sinä Kapernaum, joka olet taivaasen asti korotettu, sinä pitää hamaan helvettiin alas sysättämän. (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Joka teitä kuulee, se minua kuulee, ja joka teidät katsoo ylön, se katsoo ylön minun; mutta joka minun katsoo ylön, hän katsoo ylön sen, joka minun lähetti.
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Niin ne seitsemänkymmentä palasivat ilolla, sanoen: Herra, perkeleetkin ovat sinun nimes kautta meidän allemme annetut.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Niin hän sanoi heille: minä näin saatanan taivaasta lankeevan niinkuin pitkäisen tulen.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Katso, minä annan teille vallan tallata käärmeitä ja skorpioneja ja kaikkea vaihollisen voimaa, ja ei teitä mikään ole vahingoitseva,
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Kuitenkin älkäät siitä iloitko, että henget teidän allenne annetaan; vaan iloitkaat paremmin, että teidän nimenne ovat kirjoitetut taivaissa.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Sillä hetkellä riemuitsi Jesus hengessä ja sanoi: minä kiitän sinua, Isä, taivaan ja maan Herra, ettäs nämät salasit viisailta ja toimellisilta, ja olet ne ilmoittanut pienille: tosin, Isä, niin oli sinun hyvä tahtos.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Kaikki ovat minulle annetut Isältäni: ja ei tiedä kenkään, kuka on Poika, vaan Isä: ja kuka on Isä, vaan Poika ja kelle Poika tahtoo ilmoittaa.
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Ja hän kääntyi opetuslastensa puoleen erinänsä, ja sanoi: autuaat ovat ne silmät, jotka näkevät, joita te näette:
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Sillä minä sanon teille: monta prophetaa ja kuningasta tahtoivat nähdä, joita te näette, ja ei nähneet, ja kuulla, joita te kuulette, ja ei kuulleet.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Ja katso, yksi lainoppinut nousi ja kiusasi häntä, sanoen: Mestari, mitä minun pitää tekemän, että minä ijankaikkisen elämän perisin? (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Mutta hän sanoi hänelle: mitä laissa on kirjoitettu? kuinkas luet?
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Ja hän vastasi ja sanoi: sinun pitää rakastaman Herraa sinun Jumalaas kaikesta sinun sydämestäs, ja kaikesta sinun sielustas, ja kaikesta sinun voimastas, ja kaikesta sinun mieleltäs: ja sinun lähimmäistäs niinkuin itsiäs.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Niin hän sanoi hänelle: oikein sinä vastasit; tee se, niin sinä saat elää.
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Mutta hän tahtoi itsensa vanhurskaaksi tehdä ja sanoi Jesukselle: kukas minun lähimmäiseni on?
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Jesus vastasi ja sanoi: yksi ihminen meni alas Jerusalemista Jerikoon, ja tuli ryövärien käsiin, jotka hänen alasti riisuivat ja haavoittivat, menivät pois ja jättivät hänen puolikuolleeksi.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Niin tapahtui, että yksi pappi sitä tietä vaelsi, ja kuin hän hänen näki, meni hän ohitse.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Niin myös Leviläinen, kuin hän tuli sille paikalle, ja näki hänen, ja meni ohitse.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Mutta yksi Samarialainen vaelsi, ja tuli hänen tykönsä, ja kuin hän näki hänen, armahti hän häntä,
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Ja tuli ja sitoi hänen haavansa ja vuodatti siihen öljyä ja viinaa, ja pani juhtansa päälle, ja vei hänen majaan, ja korjasi häntä.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Ja toisena päivänä matkusti hän, ja otti kaksi pennikiä ja antoi isännälle, ja sanoi hänelle: korjaa häntä, ja jos sinä enemmän kulutat, niin minä palatessani maksan sinulle.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Kuka siis näistä kolmesta oli sinun nähdäkses hänen lähimmäisensä, joka ryövärien käsiin oli tullut?
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Niin hän sanoi: joka laupiuden teki hänen kohtaansa. Niin sanoi Jesus hänelle: mene ja tee sinä myös niin.
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Niin tapahtui, kuin he vaelsivat, meni hän yhteen kylään, ja yksi vaimo, Martta nimeltä, otti hänen huoneesensa,
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Ja hänellä oli sisar, joka kutsuttiin Maria, joka myös istui Jesuksen jalkain juureen ja kuulteli hänen puhettansa.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Mutta Martta teki paljon askareita palvellen heitä; hän tuli ja sanoi: Herra, etkös tottele, että minun sisareni jätti minun yksin askaroitsemaan? Sano siis hänelle, että hän minua auttais.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Niin Jesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: Martta, Martta, paljon sinä suret ja pyrit.
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
Vaan yksi on tarpeellinen: Maria on hyvän osan valinnut, joka ei häneltä pidä otettaman pois.
