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.
After this the appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two before his face, into every city and place into which he himself intended to go.
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 thus addressed them. "The harvest is abundant, but the harvesters are few. do you therefore pray the lord of the harvest to send forth harvesters into his harvest.
3 Azɔ miheyi, eye miɖo ŋku edzi be miele abe alẽvi siwo wodɔ ɖo ɖe amegaxiwo dome ene.
"Go your way; behold, I am sending you forth 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!
"Carry no purse, no bag, no shoes; and do not salute any one on your journey.
5 “Ne miege ɖe aƒe aɖe me la, gbã, migblɔ be, ‘Ŋutifafa na aƒe sia.’
"Into whatever you first enter, say, ‘Peace be 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 there be any son of peace there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not it shall 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.
"Stay in that same house, eating and drinking what they give. for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not go 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 whatever town you come to, and they receive you, eat whatever they put 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.’
"Heal the sick in that town and tell them, The kingdom of God draws near to you.
10 “Ne womexɔ mi le du aɖe me o la, mige ɖe dua ƒe ablɔwo dzi ne miagblɔ be,
"But whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, Go out into the streets and cry,
11 ‘Míeʋuʋu miaƒe du ƒe ke si lé ɖe afɔwo ŋuti na mí ɖi abe ɖaseɖiɖi ene. Ke minya nyuie be: mawufiaɖuƒe la gogo.’
"‘The very dust of your town which clings to your feet we wipe off as protest; but know this, that the kingdom of God is drawing near to you.’
12 Mele gbe tem ɖe edzi na mi be nuwo anɔ bɔbɔe na Sodom wu du sia le Ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe la.
"For I tell you that it will be mare tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that town.
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 unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, Bethsaida! For had the mighty been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Le nyateƒe me la, tohehe si woana Tiro kple Sidon la anɔ wodzoe wu esi woana mi le ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe la.
"However, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15 Mi Kapernaumtɔwo, ɖe woade bubu mia ŋuti le dziƒoa? Gbeɖe, woaɖo mi ɖe dzomavɔʋe la me.” (Hadēs g86)
"And you Capernaum, shall you be exalted to heaven? No! you shall be brought down to Hades! (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.”
"He who listens to you listens to me. and he who rejects you, rejects me; he who rejects me, rejects 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 returned with joy, 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 watched Satan fall from heaven like a lightning flash.
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 give you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and to trample on all the power of the enemy. In no case shall anything do you harm.
20 Gake migakpɔ dzidzɔ be gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo ɖo to mi o. Ke boŋ midzɔ dzi be woŋlɔ miaƒe ŋkɔwo ɖe dziƒonɔlawo dome.”
"Nevertheless, do not rejoice at 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 thrilled with joy in the Holy Ghost. "I praise thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth," he said "for hiding these things from the wise and prudent, and for revealing them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it was well pleasing in thy sight!
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 he the Son wishes 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 privately. "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 tell you that many prophets and kings have longed to see what you see, and have seen it; and to hear what you hear, and have heard it not.’
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)
Then a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him. "Master," he said "what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Aleke Mose ƒe sea gblɔ tso nu sia ŋuti?”
And he said to him. "What is written in the Law? What do you read there?"
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.’”
"You must love the Lord your God," he answered, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your with 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!”
"You have answered right," said Jesus "do that and you shall 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 he, determined to justify himself, said to Jesus, "But who is my neighbor?" Jesus answered.
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.
"A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell among bandits who both stripped him and beat him, and went off leaving him half dead.
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.
"Now a certain priest chanced to be going down that way, but on seeing him he passed on the other side.
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.
"In like manner also a Levite who came to the spot, came and looked at him, and passed on the other side.
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, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him was moved with compassion.
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.
"He went to him bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine. He set him on his own beast, and took him to an inn, and 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.’”
"The next day he took two silver pieces and gave them to the landlord and said, "‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend I will repay it to you on my way back.’
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 then of these three seems to you to have behaved like a neighbor to the man who fell among bandits?"
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.”
He replied, "The one who showed mercy on him." "Go, then," said Jesus, "and do likewise."
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.
It happened as they went on their way that he entered into a certain village were a woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 Marta nɔvi Maria va nɔ Aƒetɔ la ƒe afɔ nu le anyigba nɔ eƒe nyawo sem.
She had a sister named Mary, who after seating herself at the Lord’s feet was listening to his teaching.
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.”
But Martha meanwhile was growing distracted about much serving. She came up to him and said. "Lord do you not care that my sister has left me alone to do the serving? Come tell her to take hold of her end of the work along with me."
41 Gake Aƒetɔ la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “O, Marta, Marta, èle agbagba dzem le fu ɖem na ɖokuiwò le nu geɖewo ŋuti.
"Martha, Martha," said Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about many things,
42 Ke nu ɖeka koe le vevie, eyae nye nu si Maria tia, eya womele exɔ ge le esi o.”
"only one thing is really necessary. Mary, moreover, has chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her."
