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.
Or dopo queste cose, il Signore designò altri settanta discepoli, e li mandò a due a due dinanzi a sé, in ogni città e luogo dove egli stesso era per andare.
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.
E diceva loro: Ben è la mèsse grande, ma gli operai son pochi; pregate dunque il Signor della mèsse che spinga degli operai nella sua mèsse.
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.
Andate; ecco, io vi mando come agnelli in mezzo ai lupi.
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.
Non portate né borsa, né sacca, né calzari, e non salutate alcuno per via.
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!’
In qualunque casa sarete entrati, dite prima: Pace a questa casa!
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].
E se v’è quivi alcun figliuolo di pace, la vostra pace riposerà su lui; se no, ella tornerà a voi.
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].
Or dimorate in quella stessa casa, mangiando e bevendo di quello che hanno, perché l’operaio è degno della sua mercede. Non passate di casa in casa.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
E in qualunque città sarete entrati, se vi ricevono, mangiate di ciò che vi sarà messo dinanzi,
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].’
guarite gl’infermi che saranno in essa, e dite loro: Il regno di Dio s’è avvicinato a voi.
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
Ma in qualunque città sarete entrati, se non vi ricevono, uscite sulle piazze e dite:
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!’
Perfino la polvere che dalla vostra città s’è attaccata a’ nostri piedi, noi la scotiamo contro a voi; sappiate tuttavia questo, che il regno di Dio s’è avvicinato a voi.
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]!”
Io vi dico che in quel giorno la sorte di Sodoma sarà più tollerabile della sorte di quella città.
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.
Guai a te, Corazin! Guai a te, Betsaida; perché se in Tiro e in Sidone fossero state fatte le opere potenti compiute fra voi, già anticamente si sarebbero ravvedute, prendendo il cilicio, e sedendo nella cenere.
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].
E però, nel giorno del giudicio, la sorte di Tiro e di Sidone sarà più tollerabile della vostra.
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)
E tu, o Capernaum, sarai tu forse innalzata fino al cielo? No, tu sarai abbassata fino nell’Ades! (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.”
Chi ascolta voi ascolta me; chi sprezza voi sprezza me, e chi sprezza me sprezza Colui che mi ha mandato.
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]!”
Or i settanta tornarono con allegrezza, dicendo: Signore, anche i demoni ci sono sottoposti nel tuo nome.
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].
Ed egli disse loro: Io mirava Satana cader dal cielo a guisa di folgore.
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.
Ecco, io v’ho dato la potestà di calcar serpenti e scorpioni, e tutta la potenza del nemico; e nulla potrà farvi del male.
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].”
Pure, non vi rallegrate perché gli spiriti vi son sottoposti, ma rallegratevi perché i vostri nomi sono scritti ne’ cieli.
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.”
In quella stessa ora, Gesù giubilò per lo Spirito Santo, e disse: Io ti rendo lode, o Padre, Signore del cielo e della terra, perché hai nascoste queste cose ai savi e agl’intelligenti, e le hai rivelate ai piccoli fanciulli! Sì, o Padre, perché così ti è piaciuto.
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].”
Ogni cosa m’è stata data in mano dal Padre mio; e nessuno conosce chi è il Figliuolo, se non il Padre; né chi è il Padre, se non il Figliuolo e colui al quale il Figliuolo voglia rivelarlo.
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]!
E rivoltosi a’ suoi discepoli, disse loro in disparte: Beati gli occhi che veggono le cose che voi vedete!
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.”
Poiché vi dico che molti profeti e re han bramato di veder le cose che voi vedete, e non le hanno vedute; e di udir le cose che voi udite, e non le hanno udite.
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)
Ed ecco, un certo dottor della legge si levò per metterlo alla prova, e gli disse: Maestro, che dovrò fare per eredar la vita eterna? (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?”
Ed egli gli disse: Nella legge che sta scritto? Come leggi?
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.”
E colui, rispondendo, disse: Ama il Signore Iddio tuo con tutto il tuo cuore, e con tutta l’anima tua, e con tutta la forza tua, e con tutta la mente tua, e il tuo prossimo come te stesso.
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
E Gesù gli disse: Tu hai risposto rettamente; fa, questo, e vivrai.
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]?”
Ma colui, volendo giustificarsi, disse a Gesù: E chi è il mio prossimo?
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.
Gesù, replicando, disse: Un uomo scendeva da Gerusalemme a Gerico, e s’imbatté in ladroni i quali, spogliatolo e feritolo, se ne andarono, lasciandolo mezzo morto.
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].
Or, per caso, un sacerdote scendeva per quella stessa via; e veduto colui, passò oltre dal lato opposto.
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].
Così pure un levita, giunto a quel luogo e vedutolo, passò oltre dal lato opposto.
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.
Ma un Samaritano che era in viaggio giunse presso a lui; e vedutolo, n’ebbe pietà;
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.
e accostatosi, fasciò le sue piaghe, versandovi sopra dell’olio e del vino; poi lo mise sulla propria cavalcatura, lo menò ad un albergo e si prese cura di lui.
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.’”
E il giorno dopo, tratti fuori due denari, li diede all’oste e gli disse: Prenditi cura di lui; e tutto ciò che spenderai di più, quando tornerò in su, te lo renderò.
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Quale di questi tre ti pare essere stato il prossimo di colui che s’imbatté ne’ ladroni?
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]!”
E quello rispose: Colui che gli usò misericordia. E Gesù gli disse: Va’, e fa’ tu il simigliante.
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.
Or mentre essi erano in cammino, egli entrò in un villaggio; e una certa donna, per nome Marta, lo ricevette in casa sua.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Ell’avea una sorella chiamata Maria la quale, postasi a sedere a’ piedi di Gesù, ascoltava la sua parola.
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!”
Ma Marta era affaccendata intorno a molti servigi; e venne e disse: Signore, non t’importa che mia sorella m’abbia lasciata sola a servire? Dille dunque che m’aiuti.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Ma il Signore, rispondendo, le disse: Marta, Marta, tu ti affanni e t’inquieti di molte cose, ma di una cosa sola fa bisogno.
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]}.”
E Maria ha scelto la buona parte che non le sarà tolta.
