Mattheum 10
1 Et convocatis duodecim discipulis suis, dedit illis potestatem spirituum immundorum, ut eiicerent eos, et curarent omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem.
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them power to throw out evil spirits, and to heal all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.
2 Duodecim autem Apostolorum nomina sunt hæc. Primus: Simon, qui dicitur Petrus, et Andreas frater eius,
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, (also called Peter), Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, John his brother,
3 Iacobus Zebedæi, et Ioannes frater eius, Philippus, et Bartholomæus, Thomas, et Matthæus publicanus, Iacobus Alphæi, et Thaddæus,
Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew the tax-collector, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus,
4 Simon Chananæus, et Iudas Iscariotes, qui et tradidit eum.
Simon the revolutionary, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
5 Hos duodecim misit Iesus: præcipiens eis, dicens: In viam gentium ne abieritis, et in civitates Samaritanorum ne intraveritis:
These Twelve Jesus sent out, telling them, “Don't go to the foreigners, or to any Samaritan city.
6 sed potius ite ad oves quæ perierunt domus Israel.
You are to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Euntes autem prædicate, dicentes: Quia appropinquavit regnum cælorum.
Wherever you go, tell the people, ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8 Infirmos curate, mortuos suscitate, leprosos mundate, dæmones eiicite: gratis accepistis, gratis date.
Heal those who are sick. Resurrect the dead. Cure the lepers. Drive out demons. You received freely, so give freely!
9 Nolite possidere aurum, neque argentum, neque pecuniam in zonis vestris:
Don't carry any gold, silver, or copper coins in your pockets,
10 non peram in via, neque duas tunicas, neque calceamenta, neque virgam: dignus enim est operarius cibo suo.
or a bag for your journey, or two cloaks, or sandals, or a walking stick, for a worker deserves to be supported.
11 In quamcumque autem civitatem, aut castellum intraveritis, interrogate, quis in ea dignus sit: et ibi manete donec exeatis.
Wherever you go, whatever town or village, ask for someone who lives according to good principles, and remain there until you leave.
12 Intrantes autem in domum, salutate eam, dicentes: Pax huic domui.
When you enter the house, give it your blessing.
13 Et si quidem fuerit domus illa digna, veniet pax vestra super eam: si autem non fuerit digna, pax vestra revertetur ad vos.
If the home deserves it, let your peace rest on it, but if it doesn't deserve it, let your peace return to you.
14 Et quicumque non receperit vos, neque audierit sermones vestros: exeunte foras de domo, vel civitate, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris.
If someone doesn't welcome you, and refuses to listen to what you have to say, then leave that house or that town, shaking its dust off your feet as you go.
15 Amen dico vobis: Tolerabilius erit terræ Sodomorum, et Gomorrhæorum in die iudicii, quam illi civitati.
I tell you the truth, it will be better for Sodom and Gomorrah at the Day of Judgment than for that town!
16 Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in medio luporum. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes, et simplices sicut columbæ.
Look, I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Cavete autem ab hominibus. Tradent enim vos in conciliis, et in synagogis suis flagellabunt vos:
Watch out for those who will hand you over to be tried by town councils and will whip you in their synagogues.
18 et ad præsides, et ad reges ducemini propter me in testimonium illis, et gentibus.
You will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, to witness to them and to the foreigners.
19 Cum autem tradent vos, nolite cogitare quomodo, aut quid loquamini: dabitur enim vobis in illa hora, quid loquamini.
But when they put you on trial, don't worry about how you should speak or what you should say, because you'll be told what to say at the right time.
20 non enim vos estis qui loquimini, sed Spiritus Patris vestri, qui loquitur in vobis.
For it isn't you who will speak but the spirit of the Father will speak through you.
21 Tradet autem frater fratrem in mortem, et pater filium: et insurgent filii in parentes, et morte eos afficient:
Brother will betray brother and have him killed, and a father will do the same to his child. Children will rebel against their parents, and have them put to death.
22 et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum: qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.
Everyone will hate you because you follow me, but those who endure until the end will be saved.
23 Cum autem persequentur vos in civitate ista, fugite in aliam. Amen dico vobis, non consummabitis civitates Israel, donec veniat Filius hominis.
When you're persecuted in one town, run away to the next. I'm telling the truth: you won't finish going to the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24 Non est discipulus super magistrum, nec servus super dominum suum.
Disciples are not more important than their teacher; servants are not more important than their master.
25 sufficit discipulo, ut sit sicut magister eius: et servo, sicut dominus eius. Si Patrem familias Beelzebub vocaverunt: quanto magis domesticos eius?
Disciples should be satisfied to become like their teacher, and servants like their master. If the head of the house has been called the head demon Beelzebub, then the members of his household will be demonized even more!
26 Ne ergo timueritis eos: Nihil enim est opertum, quod non revelabitur: et occultum, quod non scietur.
So don't be frightened of them, for there's nothing covered that won't be exposed, and nothing hidden that won't be made known.
27 Quod dico vobis in tenebris, dicite in lumine: et quod in aure auditis, prædicate super tecta.
What I tell you here in the dark, declare when it's light, and what you hear whispered in your ear, shout from the rooftops.
28 Et nolite timere eos, qui occidunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere: sed potius timete eum, qui potest et animam, et corpus perdere in gehennam. (Geenna g1067)
Don't be afraid of those who can kill you physically, but can't kill you spiritually. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy you physically and spiritually in the fires of destruction. (Geenna g1067)
29 Nonne duo passeres asse væneunt? et unus ex illis non cadet super terram sine patre vestro?
Aren't two sparrows sold for just one penny? But not a single one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.
30 Vestri autem capilli capitis omnes numerati sunt.
Even the hairs on your head have all been counted.
31 Nolite ergo timere: multis passeribus meliores estis vos.
So don't worry—you're worth more than many sparrows!
32 Omnis ergo, qui confitebitur me coram hominibus, confitebor et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in cælis est:
Anyone who publicly declares their commitment to me, I will also declare my commitment to them before my Father in heaven.
33 qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabo et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in cælis est.
But anyone who publicly denies me, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
34 Nolite arbitrari quia pacem venerim mittere in terram: non veni pacem mittere, sed gladium.
Don't think I've come to bring peace on earth. I haven't come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 veni enim separare hominem adversus patrem suum, et filiam adversus matrem suam, et nurum adversus socrum suam:
I've come ‘to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 et inimici hominis, domestici eius.
Your enemies will be those of your own family!’
37 Qui amat patrem, aut matrem plus quam me, non est me dignus. et qui amat filium, aut filiam super me, non est me dignus.
If you love your father or mother more than me you don't deserve to be mine, and if you love your son or daughter more than me you don't deserve to be mine.
38 Et qui non accipit crucem suam, et sequitur me, non est me dignus.
If you don't pick up your cross and follow me you don't deserve to be mine.
39 Qui invenit animam suam, perdet illam: et qui perdiderit animan suam propter me, inveniet eam.
If you try to save your life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me you will save it.
40 Qui recipit vos, me recipit: et qui me recipit, recipit eum, qui me misit.
Those who welcome you welcome me, and those who welcome me welcome the one that sent me.
41 Qui recipit prophetam in nomine prophetæ, mercedem prophetæ accipiet: et qui recipit iustum in nomine iusti, mercedem iusti accipiet.
Those who welcome a prophet because that's what they are will receive the same reward as a prophet. Those who welcome someone who does right will receive the same reward as someone who does right.
42 Et quicumque potum dederit uni ex minimis istis calicem aquæ frigidæ tantum in nomine discipuli: amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.
I tell you the truth, those who give a drink of cool water to the least important of my disciples will definitely not miss out on their reward.”
