Luka 10
1 Azɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu tia nusrɔ̃la bubu blaadre-vɔ-eve, eye wòdɔ wo eveve ɖo ɖe du kple kɔƒe siwo me eya ŋutɔ ɖo be yeava yi emegbe la me.
Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 Egblɔ na wo be, “Nuŋeŋe la sɔ gbɔ, gake dɔwɔlawo mede ha o, eya ta miɖe kuku na nuŋeŋe la ƒe Aƒetɔ be wòadɔ dɔwɔlawo aɖo ɖe eƒe nuŋeŋe la me.
And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 Azɔ miheyi, eye miɖo ŋku edzi be miele abe alẽvi siwo wodɔ ɖo ɖe amegaxiwo dome ene.
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Migatsɔ ga aɖeke ɖe asi o, migatsɔ mɔzɔkotoku loo alo afɔkpa dodo bubu o. Migagblẽ ɣeyiɣi le mɔ dzi anɔ gbe dom na amewo o!
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 “Ne miege ɖe aƒe aɖe me la, gbã, migblɔ be, ‘Ŋutifafa na aƒe sia.’
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 Ne ŋutifafame aɖe le afi ma la, miaƒe ŋutifafa anɔ edzi; ke ne menye nenem o la, agbugbɔ ava mia dzi.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 “Nenye be mieɖo kɔƒe aɖe me la, miganɔ tsatsam tso aƒe me yi aƒe me o, midze aƒe ɖeka ko me, eye miaɖu nu alo ano nu sia nu si wotsɔ ɖo mia kɔme la numaƒomaƒoe. Nenye be wona nane mi la, migagbe exɔxɔ o, elabena dɔwɔla ɖe sia ɖe dze na eƒe fetu.
And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 “Nenye be miege ɖe du aɖe me eye dua me tɔwo xɔ mi nyuie la, ekema miɖu nu sia nu si wotsɔ ɖo miaƒe akɔme.
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 Mida gbe le dɔnɔ siwo le afi ma la ŋu, eye miɖe gbeƒã na wo be, ‘Mawufiaɖuƒe la va ɖo mia dome vɔ azɔ.’
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 “Ne womexɔ mi le du aɖe me o la, mige ɖe dua ƒe ablɔwo dzi ne miagblɔ be,
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 ‘Míeʋuʋu miaƒe du ƒe ke si lé ɖe afɔwo ŋuti na mí ɖi abe ɖaseɖiɖi ene. Ke minya nyuie be: mawufiaɖuƒe la gogo.’
‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 Mele gbe tem ɖe edzi na mi be nuwo anɔ bɔbɔe na Sodom wu du sia le Ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe la.
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 “Baba na wò Korazin! Baba na wò Betsaida! Elabena ne Tiro kple Sidon duwo mee mewɔ nukunu siwo mewɔ le mia dome le la, anye ne ameawo trɔ dzime xoxoxo, ata akpanya anɔ anyi ɖe afi me.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 Le nyateƒe me la, tohehe si woana Tiro kple Sidon la anɔ wodzoe wu esi woana mi le ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe la.
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 Mi Kapernaumtɔwo, ɖe woade bubu mia ŋuti le dziƒoa? Gbeɖe, woaɖo mi ɖe dzomavɔʋe la me.” (Hadēs g86)
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 Egblɔ na nusrɔ̃lawo be, “Ame siwo ɖo to mi la, nyee woɖo toe, eye ame siwo gbe mi la, nyee wogbe eye ame siwo gbem la gbe Mawu ame si dɔm ɖa la.”
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 Esi nusrɔ̃la blaadre-vɔ-eveawo trɔ gbɔ la, wogblɔ nɛ dzidzɔtɔe be, “Aƒetɔ, ne míeyɔ wò ŋkɔ ko la, gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo gɔ̃ hã ɖoa to mí.”
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Nyateƒee, nye ŋutɔ mekpɔ Satana wòge tso dziƒo abe dzikedzo ene!
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 Mena ŋusẽ mi be miaɖu Futɔ la ƒe ŋusẽwo katã dzi, eye be miazɔ le dawo kple ahɔ̃wo me anye avuzi le wo dzi. Ke nu vevi aɖeke mawɔ mi o.
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 Gake migakpɔ dzidzɔ be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo ɖo to mi o. Ke boŋ midzɔ dzi be woŋlɔ miaƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe dziƒonɔlawo dome.”
Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe yɔ eƒe dzi me fũu kple dzidzɔ blibo, eye wògblɔ be, “Mekafu wò, O Fofo, dzi kple anyigba ƒe Aƒetɔ, be nèɣla nu siawo ɖa tso xexe sia me nunyala gãwo gbɔ, eye nèɖee fia ame siwo xɔ dziwò se abe ɖeviwo ene. Nyateƒe, Fofo, akpe na wò, elabena aleae nèdi be wòanɔ.
In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 Fofonye tsɔ nuwo katã de asi nam, eye ame aɖeke menya Vi la o, negbe Fofo la ko, eye ame aɖeke hã menya Fofo la o, negbe Vi la kple ame siwo wòlɔ̃ ɖe eɖokui fia la ko.”
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 Azɔ etrɔ ɖe nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo ŋu, eye wògblɔ na wo dzaa be, “Woayra ŋku siwo le nu siwo kpɔm miele la kpɔm.
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 Nyagblɔɖilawo kple fia siwo nɔ anyi tsã la di vevie be yewoanɔ anyi le ŋkeke siawo me, eye yewoakpɔ nu siwo kpɔm miele, eye yewoase nya siwo sem miele, gake womete ŋui o!”
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 Gbe ɖeka sefiala aɖe si nya Mose ƒe seawo nyuie ŋutɔ la va be yeado Yesu ƒe nyateƒetɔnyenye kpɔ. Ebiae be, “Nufiala, nu kae mawɔ be manyi agbe mavɔ dome mahã?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aleke Mose ƒe sea gblɔ tso nu sia ŋuti?”
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 Eɖo eŋu be, “Mose ƒe se la gblɔ be, ‘Lɔ̃ Aƒetɔ wò Mawu la kple wò dzi kple luʋɔ blibo la kple wò susu kple wò ŋusẽ katã hã, eye nàlɔ̃ hawòvi abe wò ŋutɔ ɖokuiwò ene.’”
In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Èɖo eŋu nyuie ŋutɔ, heyi, eye nàwɔ esiawo katã, ekema agbe mavɔ la asu asiwò!”
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 Ŋutsu sia di be yeatso afia na ye ɖokui, elabena eya ŋutɔ melɔ̃a ame sia ame o, eya ta wòbia Yesu be, “Ame kae nye hanyevi?”
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Yesu ɖo biabia sia ŋu nɛ kple lododo sia be, “Ŋutsu aɖe si nɔ mɔ zɔm tso Yerusalem yina ɖe Yeriko la va ge ɖe adzodalawo si me. Adzodalawo vuvu awu le eŋu, ƒoe vevie, eye wògblẽe ɖe mɔa to wòku afã kple afã.
Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31 Dzɔgbenyuitɔe la, Yudatɔwo ƒe nunɔla aɖe va to afi ma yina, esi wòkpɔ amea le mɔa to la, edze to eŋu yi ɖato mɔa ƒe akpa evelia, eye wòdzo le egbɔ.
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 Levitɔ aɖe si nye ame siwo naa kpekpeɖeŋu le gbedoxɔ me la dometɔ aɖe hã va kpɔ amea wòmlɔ mɔa to, gake eya hã tso eme dzo.
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 Gake Samariatɔ, ame siwo womebuna ɖe naneke me o hã va yina, eye esi wòkpɔ amea la, eƒe nu wɔ nublanui nɛ ŋutɔ.
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 Etɔ, dze klo ɖe egbɔ, eye wòklɔ eƒe abiawo hetsɔ ami kple wain ɖo wo me hebla abiawo. Emegbe ekɔe da ɖe eƒe tedzi dzi, eye wòkplɔe ɖɔɖɔɖɔ va ɖo amedzrodzeƒe aɖe, eye wònɔ egbɔ zã bliboa.
And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35 Esi ŋu ke la, Samariatɔ la tsɔ ga home si hiã la na amedzrodzeƒedzikpɔla be wòatsɔ akpɔ amea dzii. Egblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, ‘Nenye be nu si miegblẽ ɖe eta sɔ gbɔ wu ga home si metsɔ na mi la, mava xe fea mamlɛa nenye be megatrɔ va afii.’”
And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36 Yesu bia agbalẽfiala la azɔ be, “Le ame etɔ̃ siawo dome ɖe, kae nèbu be enye havi na ame si dze adzodalawo si me?”
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ame si kpɔ nublanui nɛ lae nye ehavi.” Yesu gblɔ nɛ be, “Eɖo eŋu nyuie, heyi, eye wò hã nawɔ nenema.”
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo nɔ woƒe mɔzɔzɔ la dzi ɖo ta Yerusalem, eye wova ɖo kɔƒe aɖe me. Nyɔnu aɖe si woyɔna be Marta la xɔ wo ɖe eƒe aƒe me.
Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 Marta nɔvi Maria va nɔ Aƒetɔ la ƒe afɔ nu le anyigba nɔ eƒe nyawo sem.
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 Ke Marta ya tsi dzodzodzoe nɔ nu ɖam na Yesu. Sẽe la, Marta te ɖe Yesu ŋu, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ mèkpɔe be medze be nɔvinye nanɔ anyi ɖe afi sia, eye nye ɖeka manɔ dɔawo katã wɔm oa? Gblɔ nɛ be neva kpe ɖe ŋunye.”
Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 Gake Aƒetɔ la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “O, Marta, Marta, èle agbagba dzem le fu ɖem na ɖokuiwò le nu geɖewo ŋuti.
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 Ke nu ɖeka koe le vevie, eyae nye nu si Maria tia, eya womele exɔ ge le esi o.”
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
