< Κατα Λουκαν 10 >

1 μετα δε ταυτα ανεδειξεν ο κυριοσ και ετερουσ εβδομηκοντα και απεστειλεν αυτουσ ανα δυο προ προσωπου αυτου εισ πασαν πολιν και τοπον ου εμελλεν αυτοσ ερχεσθαι
Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 ελεγεν ουν προσ αυτουσ ο μεν θερισμοσ πολυσ οι δε εργαται ολιγοι δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπωσ εκβαλη εργατασ εισ τον θερισμον αυτου
And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 υπαγετε ιδου εγω αποστελλω υμασ ωσ αρνασ εν μεσω λυκων
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 μη βασταζετε βαλαντιον μη πηραν μηδε υποδηματα και μηδενα κατα την οδον ασπασησθε
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 εισ ην δ αν οικιαν εισερχησθε πρωτον λεγετε ειρηνη τω οικω τουτω
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 και εαν η εκει υιοσ ειρηνησ επαναπαυσεται επ αυτον η ειρηνη υμων ει δε μηγε εφ υμασ ανακαμψει
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 εν αυτη δε τη οικια μενετε εσθιοντεσ και πινοντεσ τα παρ αυτων αξιοσ γαρ ο εργατησ του μισθου αυτου εστιν μη μεταβαινετε εξ οικιασ εισ οικιαν
And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 και εισ ην αν πολιν εισερχησθε και δεχωνται υμασ εσθιετε τα παρατιθεμενα υμιν
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 και θεραπευετε τουσ εν αυτη ασθενεισ και λεγετε αυτοισ ηγγικεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 εισ ην δ αν πολιν εισερχησθε και μη δεχωνται υμασ εξελθοντεσ εισ τασ πλατειασ αυτησ ειπατε
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 και τον κονιορτον τον κολληθεντα ημιν εκ τησ πολεωσ υμων απομασσομεθα υμιν πλην τουτο γινωσκετε οτι ηγγικεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 λεγω υμιν οτι σοδομοισ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ανεκτοτερον εσται η τη πολει εκεινη
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 ουαι σοι χοραζιν ουαι σοι βηθσαιδα οτι ει εν τυρω και σιδωνι εγενοντο αι δυναμεισ αι γενομεναι εν υμιν παλαι αν εν σακκω και σποδω καθημεναι μετενοησαν
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 πλην τυρω και σιδωνι ανεκτοτερον εσται εν τη κρισει η υμιν
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 και συ καπερναουμ η εωσ του ουρανου υψωθεισα εωσ αδου καταβιβασθηση (Hadēs g86)
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 ο ακουων υμων εμου ακουει και ο αθετων υμασ εμε αθετει ο δε εμε αθετων αθετει τον αποστειλαντα με
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 υπεστρεψαν δε οι εβδομηκοντα μετα χαρασ λεγοντεσ κυριε και τα δαιμονια υποτασσεται ημιν εν τω ονοματι σου
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 ειπεν δε αυτοισ εθεωρουν τον σαταναν ωσ αστραπην εκ του ουρανου πεσοντα
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 ιδου διδωμι υμιν την εξουσιαν του πατειν επανω οφεων και σκορπιων και επι πασαν την δυναμιν του εχθρου και ουδεν υμασ ου μη αδικηση
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 πλην εν τουτω μη χαιρετε οτι τα πνευματα υμιν υποτασσεται χαιρετε δε οτι τα ονοματα υμων εγραφη εν τοισ ουρανοισ
Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 εν αυτη τη ωρα ηγαλλιασατο τω πνευματι ο ιησουσ και ειπεν εξομολογουμαι σοι πατερ κυριε του ουρανου και τησ γησ οτι απεκρυψασ ταυτα απο σοφων και συνετων και απεκαλυψασ αυτα νηπιοισ ναι ο πατηρ οτι ουτωσ εγενετο ευδοκια εμπροσθεν σου
In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 και στραφεισ προσ τουσ μαθητασ ειπεν παντα μοι παρεδοθη υπο του πατροσ μου και ουδεισ γινωσκει τισ εστιν ο υιοσ ει μη ο πατηρ και τισ εστιν ο πατηρ ει μη ο υιοσ και ω εαν βουληται ο υιοσ αποκαλυψαι
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 και στραφεισ προσ τουσ μαθητασ κατ ιδιαν ειπεν μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι οι βλεποντεσ α βλεπετε
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι πολλοι προφηται και βασιλεισ ηθελησαν ιδειν α υμεισ βλεπετε και ουκ ειδον και ακουσαι α ακουετε και ουκ ηκουσαν
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 και ιδου νομικοσ τισ ανεστη εκπειραζων αυτον και λεγων διδασκαλε τι ποιησασ ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 ο δε ειπεν προσ αυτον εν τω νομω τι γεγραπται πωσ αναγινωσκεισ
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αγαπησεισ κυριον τον θεον σου εξ ολησ τησ καρδιασ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ψυχησ σου και εξ ολησ τησ ισχυοσ σου και εξ ολησ τησ διανοιασ σου και τον πλησιον σου ωσ σεαυτον
In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 ειπεν δε αυτω ορθωσ απεκριθησ τουτο ποιει και ζηση
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 ο δε θελων δικαιουν εαυτον ειπεν προσ τον ιησουν και τισ εστιν μου πλησιον
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 υπολαβων δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν ανθρωποσ τισ κατεβαινεν απο ιερουσαλημ εισ ιεριχω και λησταισ περιεπεσεν οι και εκδυσαντεσ αυτον και πληγασ επιθεντεσ απηλθον αφεντεσ ημιθανη τυγχανοντα
Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31 κατα συγκυριαν δε ιερευσ τισ κατεβαινεν εν τη οδω εκεινη και ιδων αυτον αντιπαρηλθεν
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 ομοιωσ δε και λευιτησ γενομενοσ κατα τον τοπον ελθων και ιδων αντιπαρηλθεν
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 σαμαρειτησ δε τισ οδευων ηλθεν κατ αυτον και ιδων αυτον εσπλαγχνισθη
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 και προσελθων κατεδησεν τα τραυματα αυτου επιχεων ελαιον και οινον επιβιβασασ δε αυτον επι το ιδιον κτηνοσ ηγαγεν αυτον εισ πανδοχειον και επεμεληθη αυτου
And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35 και επι την αυριον εξελθων εκβαλων δυο δηναρια εδωκεν τω πανδοχει και ειπεν αυτω επιμεληθητι αυτου και ο τι αν προσδαπανησησ εγω εν τω επανερχεσθαι με αποδωσω σοι
And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36 τισ ουν τουτων των τριων πλησιον δοκει σοι γεγονεναι του εμπεσοντοσ εισ τουσ ληστασ
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 ο δε ειπεν ο ποιησασ το ελεοσ μετ αυτου ειπεν ουν αυτω ο ιησουσ πορευου και συ ποιει ομοιωσ
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 εγενετο δε εν τω πορευεσθαι αυτουσ και αυτοσ εισηλθεν εισ κωμην τινα γυνη δε τισ ονοματι μαρθα υπεδεξατο αυτον εισ τον οικον αυτησ
Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 και τηδε ην αδελφη καλουμενη μαρια η και παρακαθισασα παρα τουσ ποδασ του ιησου ηκουεν τον λογον αυτου
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 η δε μαρθα περιεσπατο περι πολλην διακονιαν επιστασα δε ειπεν κυριε ου μελει σοι οτι η αδελφη μου μονην με κατελειπεν διακονειν ειπε ουν αυτη ινα μοι συναντιλαβηται
Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 αποκριθεισ δε ειπεν αυτη ο ιησουσ μαρθα μαρθα μεριμνασ και τυρβαζη περι πολλα
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 ενοσ δε εστιν χρεια μαρια δε την αγαθην μεριδα εξελεξατο ητισ ουκ αφαιρεθησεται απ αυτησ
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
