< Κατα Ματθαιον 10 >

1 και προσκαλεσαμενος τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου εδωκεν αυτοις εξουσιαν πνευματων ακαθαρτων ωστε εκβαλλειν αυτα και θεραπευειν πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν
And having called in his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every disease.
2 των δε δωδεκα αποστολων τα ονοματα εστιν ταυτα πρωτος σιμων ο λεγομενος πετρος και ανδρεας ο αδελφος αυτου και ιακωβος ο του ζεβεδαιου και ιωαννης ο αδελφος αυτου
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
3 φιλιππος και βαρθολομαιος θωμας και μαθθαιος ο τελωνης ιακωβος ο του αλφαιου και θαδδαιος
Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus who was surnamed Thaddaeus,
4 σιμων ο καναναιος και ιουδας ο ισκαριωτης ο και παραδους αυτον
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 τουτους τους δωδεκα απεστειλεν ο ιησους παραγγειλας αυτοις λεγων εις οδον εθνων μη απελθητε και εις πολιν σαμαρειτων μη εισελθητε
These twelve Jesus sent forth, having ordered them, saying, Go not into a way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans,
6 πορευεσθε δε μαλλον προς τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 πορευομενοι δε κηρυσσετε λεγοντες οτι ηγγικεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
And while going, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come near.
8 ασθενουντας θεραπευετε νεκρους εγειρετε λεπρους καθαριζετε δαιμονια εκβαλλετε δωρεαν ελαβετε δωρεαν δοτε
Heal those who are feeble, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye received, freely give.
9 μη κτησησθε χρυσον μηδε αργυρον μηδε χαλκον εις τας ζωνας υμων
Acquire no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,
10 μη πηραν εις οδον μηδε δυο χιτωνας μηδε υποδηματα μηδε ραβδον αξιος γαρ ο εργατης της τροφης αυτου
no bag for the road, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staffs, for the workman is worthy of his provision.
11 εις ην δ αν πολιν η κωμην εισελθητε εξετασατε τις εν αυτη αξιος εστιν κακει μεινατε εως αν εξελθητε
And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide until ye go forth.
12 εισερχομενοι δε εις την οικιαν ασπασασθε αυτην
And while entering into the house, salute it.
13 και εαν μεν η η οικια αξια ελθατω η ειρηνη υμων επ αυτην εαν δε μη η αξια η ειρηνη υμων {VAR1: εφ } {VAR2: προς } υμας επιστραφητω
And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 και ος αν μη δεξηται υμας μηδε ακουση τους λογους υμων εξερχομενοι εξω της οικιας η της πολεως εκεινης εκτιναξατε τον κονιορτον των ποδων υμων
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 αμην λεγω υμιν ανεκτοτερον εσται γη σοδομων και γομορρων εν ημερα κρισεως η τη πολει εκεινη
Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 ιδου εγω αποστελλω υμας ως προβατα εν μεσω λυκων γινεσθε ουν φρονιμοι ως οι οφεις και ακεραιοι ως αι περιστεραι
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Become ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.
17 προσεχετε δε απο των ανθρωπων παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμας εις συνεδρια και εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων μαστιγωσουσιν υμας
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues,
18 και επι ηγεμονας δε και βασιλεις αχθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις και τοις εθνεσιν
and ye will be brought to governors and even kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 οταν δε παραδωσιν υμας μη μεριμνησητε πως η τι λαλησητε δοθησεται γαρ υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τι λαλησητε
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak.
20 ου γαρ υμεις εστε οι λαλουντες αλλα το πνευμα του πατρος υμων το λαλουν εν υμιν
For ye are not who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
21 παραδωσει δε αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους
And a brother will deliver up a brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and condemn them to death.
22 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.
23 οταν δε διωκωσιν υμας εν τη πολει ταυτη φευγετε εις την ετεραν αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν ου μη τελεσητε τας πολεις {VAR1: [του] {VAR1: του } {VAR2: ισραηλ εως } } {VAR2: αν } ελθη ο υιος του ανθρωπου
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes.
24 ουκ εστιν μαθητης υπερ τον διδασκαλον ουδε δουλος υπερ τον κυριον αυτου
A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a bondman above his lord.
25 αρκετον τω μαθητη ινα γενηται ως ο διδασκαλος αυτου και ο δουλος ως ο κυριος αυτου ει τον οικοδεσποτην βεελζεβουλ επεκαλεσαν ποσω μαλλον τους οικιακους αυτου
It is enough for the pupil that he becomes like his teacher, and the bondman like his lord. If they have called the house-ruler Beelzebub, how much more those of his household.
26 μη ουν φοβηθητε αυτους ουδεν γαρ εστιν κεκαλυμμενον ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed, and hid, that will not be known.
27 ο λεγω υμιν εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι και ο εις το ους ακουετε κηρυξατε επι των δωματων
What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light, and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28 και μη {VAR1: φοβηθητε } {VAR2: φοβεισθε } απο των {VAR1: αποκτεινοντων } {VAR2: αποκτεννοντων } το σωμα την δε ψυχην μη δυναμενων αποκτειναι φοβεισθε δε μαλλον τον δυναμενον και ψυχην και σωμα απολεσαι εν γεεννη (Geenna g1067)
And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 ουχι δυο στρουθια ασσαριου πωλειται και εν εξ αυτων ου πεσειται επι την γην ανευ του πατρος υμων
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall on the ground independent of your Father.
30 υμων δε και αι τριχες της κεφαλης πασαι ηριθμημεναι εισιν
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε υμεις
Fear not therefore, ye are of worth more than many sparrows.
32 πας ουν οστις ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν {VAR1: τοις } {VAR2: [τοις] } ουρανοις
Therefore every man, whoever will profess in me before men, I also will profess in him before my Father in the heavens.
33 οστις {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: δ αν } αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν {VAR1: τοις } {VAR2: [τοις] } ουρανοις
But whoever would deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father in the heavens.
34 μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην επι την γην ουκ ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην αλλα μαχαιραν
Think not that I came to spread peace on the earth. I came not to spread peace, but a sword.
35 ηλθον γαρ διχασαι ανθρωπον κατα του πατρος αυτου και θυγατερα κατα της μητρος αυτης και νυμφην κατα της πενθερας αυτης
For I came to divide a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 και εχθροι του ανθρωπου οι οικιακοι αυτου
And a man's foes, are those of his own household.
37 ο φιλων πατερα η μητερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος και ο φιλων υιον η θυγατερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
38 και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
And he who does not take his cross and follow behind me, is not worthy of me.
39 ο ευρων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο απολεσας την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life because of me will find it.
40 ο δεχομενος υμας εμε δεχεται και ο εμε δεχομενος δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με
He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
41 ο δεχομενος προφητην εις ονομα προφητου μισθον προφητου λημψεται και ο δεχομενος δικαιον εις ονομα δικαιου μισθον δικαιου λημψεται
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
42 και ος αν ποτιση ενα των μικρων τουτων ποτηριον ψυχρου μονον εις ονομα μαθητου αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη απολεση τον μισθον αυτου
And whoever may give to drink one of these little ones merely a cold cup in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you he will, no, not lose his reward.
