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.
| ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܦܪܫ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܠܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܘܡܕܝܢܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ |
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.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܨܕܐ ܤܓܝ ܘܦܥܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܒܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܐ ܚܨܕܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܦܥܠܐ ܠܚܨܕܗ |
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.
| ܙܠܘ ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܕܐܒܐ |
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.
| ܠܐ ܬܫܩܠܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܝܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܢܐ ܘܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܐܠܘܢ |
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!’
| ܘܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܡܪܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ |
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].
| ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܒܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܢܬܬܢܝܚ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܢܗܦܘܟ |
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].
| ܒܗ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܟܕ ܠܥܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܦܥܠܐ ܐܓܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ |
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
| ܘܠܐܝܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܥܤܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܬܤܝܡ ܠܟܘܢ |
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].’
| ܘܐܤܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܪܝܗܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܬ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
| ܠܐܝܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܦܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ |
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!’
| ܘܐܦ ܚܠܐ ܕܕܒܩ ܠܢ ܒܪܓܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܢܦܨܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܪܡ ܗܕܐ ܕܥܘ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
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]!”
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܤܕܘܡ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ |
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.
| ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܟܘܪܙܝܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘ ܒܨܘܪ ܘܒܨܝܕܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝܢ ܟܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܤܩܐ ܘܒܩܛܡܐ ܬܒܘ |
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].
| ܒܪܡ ܠܨܘܪ ܘܠܨܝܕܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝܢ |
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)
| ܘܐܢܬܝ ܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܗܝ ܕܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܬܪܝܡܬܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܝܘܠ ܬܬܚܬܝܢ (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.”
| ܡܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܫܡܥ ܠܝ ܫܡܥ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܛܠܡ ܠܝ ܗܘ ܛܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܛܠܡ ܛܠܡ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ |
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]!”
| ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܕܫܕܪ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܦ ܫܐܕܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܢ ܒܫܡܟ |
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].
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܙܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܕܢܦܠ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܩܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ |
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.
| ܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܫܝܢ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܘܥܩܪܒܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܗܪܟܘܢ |
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].”
| ܒܪܡ ܒܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܬܚܕܘܢ ܕܫܐܕܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕܘ ܕܫܡܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܬܟܬܒܘ ܒܫܡܝܐ |
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.”
| ܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܪܘܙ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܒܝ ܡܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܤܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܤܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܝܠܘܕܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܒܝ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ |
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].”
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܐܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܢ ܢܨܒܐ ܒܪܐ ܕܢܓܠܐ |
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]!
| ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܗܝܢ ܠܥܝܢܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܙܝܢ |
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.”
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ |
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)
| ܘܗܐ ܤܦܪܐ ܚܕ ܩܡ ܕܢܢܤܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܐܪܬ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (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?”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ |
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.”
| ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܟ ܘܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܘܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ |
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܘܬܚܐ |
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]?”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܙܕܩܘ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܘܡܢܘ ܩܪܝܒܝ |
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.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܤܛܝܐ ܘܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܘܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܒܗ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ |
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].
| ܘܓܕܫ ܟܗܢܐ ܚܕ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܗܝ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܥܒܪ |
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].
| ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܘܝܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܛܐ ܠܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܥܒܪ |
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.
| ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
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.
| ܘܐܬܩܪܒ ܘܥܨܒ ܡܚܘܬܗ ܘܢܨܠ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܘܤܡܗ ܥܠ ܚܡܪܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܦܘܬܩܐ ܘܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܗ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
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.’”
| ܘܠܨܦܪܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܐܦܩ ܬܪܝܢ ܕܝܢܪܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܦܘܬܩܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܝܬܝܪ ܬܦܩ ܡܐ ܕܗܦܟ ܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ |
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
| ܡܢܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܕܗܘܐ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܢܦܠ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܓܝܤܐ |
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]!”
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܠ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕ |
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.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܪܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܥܠ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܩܒܠܬܗ ܒܒܝܬܗ |
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
| ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܬܬ ܝܬܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܫܡܥܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܠܘܗܝ |
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!”
| ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܟ ܕܚܬܝ ܫܒܩܬܢܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܠܡܫܡܫܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܥܕܪܐ ܠܝ |
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
| ܥܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܨܦܬܝ ܘܪܗܝܒܬܝ ܥܠ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ |
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]}.”
| ܚܕܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܬܒܥܝܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܓܒܬ ܠܗ ܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܢܤܒ ܡܢܗ |
