Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Orduan bere hamabi discipuluac beregana deithuric, eman ciecen bothere spiritu satsuén contra, hayén campora egoizteco, eta eritassun mota guciaren eta langore mota guciaren sendatzeco.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Bada hamabi Apostoluén icenac dirade hauc: lehena, Simon erraiten dena Pierris, eta Andriu haren anayea: Iacques Zebedeoren semea, eta Ioannes haren anayea.
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Philippe eta Bartholomeo: Thomas eta Mattheu publicanoa: Iacques Alpheoren semea eta Lebeo, icen goiticoz Thaddeo.
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Simon Cananeoa, eta Iudas Iscariot, hura traditu-ere çuena.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Hamabi hauc igor citzan Iesusec, eta eman ciecén manamendu, cioela, Gentiletarát etzoaztela, eta Samaritanoén hiritan etzaiteztela sar:
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
Bainaitzitic çoazte Israeleco etcheco ardi galduetara.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Bada partitu eta, predica eçaçue, erraiten duçuela, Ceruètaco resumá hurbil da.
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Eriac senda itzaçue, sorhayoac chahu itzaçue, hilac resuscita itzaçue, deabruac campora egotz itzaçue: dohainic recebitu duçue, eta dohainic emaçue.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [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].
Eztaguiçuela prouisioneric vrrhez, ez cilharrez, ez cobrez çuen guerricoetan:
Ezeta maletaz bidecotzát, ez birá arropaz, ez çapataz, ez vhez, ecen languilea bere viciaren digne da.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Eta cein-ere hiritan edo burgutan sarthuren baitzarete, informa çaitezte nor den hartan digneric, eta çaudete han parti çaitezteno.
Eta cembeit etchetan sarthuren çaretenean, saluta eçaçue hura.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Eta baldin etchea digne bada, ethor bedi çuen baquea haren gainera: baina baldin digne ezpada, çuen baquea çuetara itzul bedi.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Eta norc-ere recebituren ezpaitzaituzte, eta ez çuen hitzey behaturen, etche edo hiri hartaric ilkitean iharros albeitzineçate çuen oinetaco errhautsa.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, emequiago tractaturen diradela Sodomaco eta Gomorrhaco lurrecoac iudicioco egunean, ecen ez hiri hura.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Huná, nic igorten çaituztet çuec, ardiac otsoén artera beçala: çareten bada çuhur sugueac beçala, eta simple vsso columbác beçala.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Eta beguira çaitezte guiçonetaric: ecen liuraturen çaituzte consistorioetara, eta bere synagoguetan açotaturen çaituzte.
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Eta gobernadoretara eta reguetara eramanen çarete ene causaz, hec eta Gentiléc testimoniage haur dutençat.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Baina liura çaiteztenean, eztuçuela artharic nola edo cer minçaturen çareten: ecen ordu hartan berean emanen çaiçue cer minça çaitezqueten.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Ecen etzarete çuec minço çaretenac, baina çuen Aitaren Spiritu çuetan minço dena.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Eta liuraturen du anayeac anayea heriotara, eta aitác haourra: eta altchaturen dirade haourrac aita-amén contra, eta hil eraciren dituzté.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Eta guciéz gaitzetsiac içanen çarete, ene icenagatic: baina norc-ere perseueraturen baitu finerano hura saluaturen da.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Eta persecutaturen çaituztenean hiri hartan, ihes eguiçue berce batetara: ecen eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, eztituçue inguraturen Israeleco hiri guciac, non ethor eztadin guiçonaren Semea.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Ezta discipulua magistruaren gaineco, ezeta cerbitzaria bere iaunaren gaineco.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Asco du discipuluac bere magistrua beçala den: eta cerbitzariac, bere iauna beçala: baldin Aitafamiliá bera Beelzebub deithu baduté, cembatez guehiago haren domesticoac?
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Etzaretela beraz hayén beldur: ecen ezta deus estaliric aguerturen eztenic, ezeta deus secreturic iaquinen eztenic.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Ilhumbean erraiten drauçuedana, erraçue arguian: eta beharrira ençuten duçuena, predica eçaçue etche gainetan.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Eta etzaretela beldur gorputza hiltzen dutenén, eta arimá ecin hil deçaquetenen: bainaitzitic çareten beldur arimá eta gorputza gehennán gal ahal ditzaquenaren. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Bi parra-chori eztirade dirutcho batetan saltzen? eta hetaric bat ezta lurrera eroriren, çuen Aita gabe.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Etare çuen buruco bilo guciac contatuac dirade.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Etzaretela beraz beldur: parra-choriéc baino çuec guehiago valio duçue.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Bada norc-ere aboaturen bainau guiçonén aitzinean, aboaturen dut nic-ere hura ene Aita ceruètan denaren aitzinean.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Baina norc-ere vkaturen bainau guiçonén aitzinean, vkaturen dut nic-ere hura ene Aita ceruètan denaren aitzinean.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Eztuçuela vste ecen baquearen eçartera, ethorri naicela lurrera: eznaiz ethorri baquearen eçartera, baina ezpataren.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Ecen ethorri naiz guiçonaren bere aitaren contra gudutan eçartera, eta alabáren bere amaren contra, eta errenaren bere ama-guinharrebaren contra.
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
Eta guiçonaren etsay beraren domesticoac içanen dirade.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Aita edo ama ni baino maiteago duena, ezta ene digne: eta semea edo alabá ni baino maiteago duena, ezta ene digne.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
Eta bere crutzea hartzen eztuena, eta niri ondotic eztarreitana, ezta ene digne.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Bere vicia beguiraturen duenac, galduren du hura: eta bere vicia galduren duenac ene causaz, beguiraturen du hura.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Çuec recebitzen çaituztenac, ni recebitzen nau: eta ni recebitzen nauenac, ni igorri nauena recebitzen du.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Prophetaren icenean Prophetabat recebitzen duenac, Prophetaren saria recebituren du: eta iustoaren icenean iustobat recebitzen duenac, iustoren saria recebituren du.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Eta norc-ere edatera emanen baitrauca beirebat vr hotz huts chipi hautaric bati discipuluren icenean: eguiaz diotsuet, eztuela bere saria galduren.
