5 Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
Njalo lakuyiphi indlu elingena kuyo, qalani lithi: Ukuthula kakube kulindlu.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
Njalo uba kukhona lapho indodana yokuthula, ukuthula kwenu kuzahlala phezu kwayo; kodwa uba kungenjalo, kuzabuyela kini.

9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
lisilise abagulayo abakuwo, njalo lithi kubo: Umbuso kaNkulunkulu usondele kini.
10 But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, going forth into the streets thereof, say:
Kodwa lakuwuphi umuzi elingena kuwo, futhi bengalemukeli, phumelani endleleni zawo, lithi:

12 I say to you, it shall be more tolerable at that day for Sodom, than for that city.

Kodwa kuzakuba lula eTire leSidoni ekugwetshweni, kulakini.

16 He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
Olizwayo lina uyangizwa mina; lolalayo lina uyangala mina; longalayo mina uyamala ongithumileyo.
17 And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name.
Babuya-ke abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa ngentokozo, besithi: Nkosi, lamadimoni ayazehlisela ngaphansi kwethu ebizweni lakho.
18 And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven.
Wasesithi kubo: Ngabona uSathane njengombane esiwa evela ezulwini.

Khangelani, ngilinika amandla okunyathela phezu kwezinyoka labofezela, laphezu kwamandla wonke esitha; njalo akusoze kube lalutho olungalilimaza.
20 But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

21 In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight.

23 And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.
Wasephendukela kubafundi bebodwa wathi: Abusisiwe amehlo abona elikubonayo.
24 For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.
Ngoba ngithi kini: Abaprofethi abanengi lamakhosi babethanda ukubona izinto elizibonayo lina, kodwa kabazibonanga; lokuzwa izinto elizizwayo, kodwa kabazizwanga.

30 And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.
Njalo lo wayelodadewabo othiwa nguMariya, laye owahlala enyaweni zikaJesu, walizwa ilizwi lakhe.

42 But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
kodwa yinye into edingekayo; kodwa uMariya ukhethile isabelo esihle, angayikwemukwa sona.
