Luka 10
1 Bu olaylardan sonra Rab yetmiş kişi daha görevlendirdi. Bunları ikişer ikişer, kendisinin gideceği her kente, her yere kendi önünden gönderdi.
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.
2 Onlara, “Ürün bol, ama işçi az” dedi, “Bu nedenle ürünün sahibi Rab'be yalvarın, ürününü kaldıracak işçiler göndersin.
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.
3 Haydi gidin! İşte, sizi kuzular gibi kurtların arasına gönderiyorum.
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.
4 Yanınıza ne kese, ne torba, ne de çarık alın. Yolda hiç kimseyle selamlaşmayın.
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.
5 Hangi eve girerseniz, önce, ‘Bu eve esenlik olsun!’ deyin.
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!’
6 Orada esenliksever biri varsa, dilediğiniz esenlik onun üzerinde kalacak; yoksa, size dönecektir.
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].
7 Girdiğiniz evde kalın, size ne verirlerse onu yiyip için. Çünkü işçi ücretini hak eder. Evden eve taşınmayın.
[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].
8 “Bir kente girdiğinizde sizi kabul ederlerse, önünüze konulanı yiyin.
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Orada bulunan hastaları iyileştirin ve kendilerine, ‘Tanrı'nın Egemenliği size yaklaştı’ deyin.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Ama bir kente girdiğinizde sizi kabul etmezlerse, o kentin caddelerine çıkıp şöyle deyin: ‘Kentinizden ayaklarımızda kalan tozu bile size karşı silkiyoruz. Yine de şunu bilin ki, Tanrı'nın Egemenliği yaklaştı.’
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
‘[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!’
12 Size şunu söyleyeyim, yargı günü o kentin hali Sodom Kenti'nin halinden beter olacaktır.
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]!”
13 “Vay haline, ey Horazin! Vay haline, ey Beytsayda! Sizlerde yapılan mucizeler Sur ve Sayda'da yapılmış olsaydı, çoktan çul kuşanıp kül içinde oturarak tövbe etmiş olurlardı.
“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.
14 Ama yargı günü sizin haliniz Sur ve Sayda'nın halinden beter olacaktır.
[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].
15 Ya sen, ey Kefarnahum, göğe mi çıkarılacaksın? Hayır, ölüler diyarına indirileceksin! (Hadēs g86)
[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)
16 “Sizi dinleyen beni dinlemiş olur, sizi reddeden beni reddetmiş olur. Beni reddeden de beni göndereni reddetmiş olur.”
[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.”
17 Yetmişler sevinç içinde döndüler. “Ya Rab” dediler, “Senin adını andığımızda cinler bile bize boyun eğiyor.”
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]!”
18 İsa onlara şöyle dedi: “Şeytan'ın gökten yıldırım gibi düştüğünü gördüm.
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].
19 Ben size, yılanları ve akrepleri ayak altında ezmek ve düşmanın bütün gücünü alt etmek için yetki verdim. Hiçbir şey size zarar vermeyecektir.
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.
20 Bununla birlikte, ruhların size boyun eğmesine sevinmeyin, adlarınızın gökte yazılmış olmasına sevinin.”
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].”
21 O anda İsa Kutsal Ruh'un etkisiyle coşarak şöyle dedi: “Baba, yerin ve göğün Rabbi! Bu gerçekleri bilge ve akıllı kişilerden gizleyip küçük çocuklara açtığın için sana şükrederim. Evet Baba, senin isteğin buydu.
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.”
22 “Babam her şeyi bana teslim etti. Oğul'un kim olduğunu Baba'dan başka kimse bilmez. Baba'nın kim olduğunu da Oğul'dan ve Oğul'un O'nu tanıtmak istediği kişilerden başkası bilmez.”
[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].”
23 Sonra öğrencilerine dönüp özel olarak şöyle dedi: “Sizin gördüklerinizi gören gözlere ne mutlu!
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]!
24 Size şunu söyleyeyim, nice peygamberler, nice krallar sizin gördüklerinizi görmek istediler, ama göremediler. Sizin işittiklerinizi işitmek istediler, ama işitemediler.”
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.”
25 Bir Kutsal Yasa uzmanı İsa'yı denemek amacıyla gelip şöyle dedi: “Öğretmenim, sonsuz yaşamı miras almak için ne yapmalıyım?” (aiōnios g166)
[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)
26 İsa ona, “Kutsal Yasa'da ne yazılmıştır?” diye sordu. “Orada ne okuyorsun?”
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?”
27 Adam şöyle karşılık verdi: “Tanrın Rab'bi bütün yüreğinle, bütün canınla, bütün gücünle ve bütün aklınla seveceksin. Komşunu da kendin gibi seveceksin.”
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.”
28 İsa ona, “Doğru yanıt verdin” dedi. “Bunu yap ve yaşayacaksın.”
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Oysa adam kendini haklı çıkarmak isteyerek İsa'ya, “Peki, komşum kim?” dedi.
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]?”
30 İsa şöyle yanıt verdi: “Adamın biri Yeruşalim'den Eriha'ya inerken haydutların eline düştü. Onu soyup dövdüler, yarı ölü bırakıp gittiler.
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.
31 Bir rastlantı olarak o yoldan bir kâhin geçiyordu. Adamı görünce yolun öbür yanından geçip gitti.
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].
32 Bir Levili de oraya varıp adamı görünce aynı şekilde geçip gitti.
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].
33 O yoldan geçen bir Samiriyeli ise adamın bulunduğu yere gelip onu görünce, yüreği sızladı.
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.
34 Adamın yanına gitti, yaralarının üzerine yağla şarap dökerek sardı. Sonra adamı kendi hayvanına bindirip hana götürdü, onunla ilgilendi.
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.
35 Ertesi gün iki dinar çıkararak hancıya verdi. ‘Ona iyi bak’ dedi, ‘Bundan fazla ne harcarsan, dönüşümde sana öderim.’
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.’”
36 “Sence bu üç kişiden hangisi haydutlar arasına düşen adama komşu gibi davrandı?”
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Yasa uzmanı, “Ona acıyıp yardım eden” dedi. İsa, “Git, sen de öyle yap” dedi.
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]!”
38 İsa, öğrencileriyle birlikte yola devam edip bir köye girdi. Marta adında bir kadın İsa'yı evinde konuk etti.
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.
39 Marta'nın Meryem adındaki kızkardeşi, Rab'bin ayakları dibine oturmuş O'nun konuşmasını dinliyordu.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Marta ise işlerinin çokluğundan ötürü telaş içindeydi. İsa'nın yanına gelerek, “Ya Rab” dedi, “Kardeşimin beni hizmet işlerinde yalnız bırakmasına aldırmıyor musun? Ona söyle de bana yardım etsin.”
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!”
41 Rab ona şu karşılığı verdi: “Marta, Marta, sen çok şey için kaygılanıp telaşlanıyorsun.
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 Oysa gerekli olan tek bir şey vardır. Meryem iyi olanı seçti ve bu kendisinden alınmayacak.”
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]}.”
