Lucam 10
1 Post hæc autem designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos. Et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem, et locum, quo erat ipse venturus.
After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them before Him, by twos, to go to every town or place which He Himself intended to visit.
2 Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. Rogate ergo Dominum messis ut mittat operarios in messem suam.
And He addressed them thus: "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few: therefore entreat the Owner of the harvest to send out more reapers into His fields. And now go.
3 Ite: ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos.
Remember that I am sending you out as lambs into the midst of wolves.
4 Nolite portare sacculum, neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem per viam salutaveritis.
Carry no purse, bag, nor change of shoes; and salute no one on your way."
5 In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite: Pax huic domui:
"Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!'
6 et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertetur.
And if there is a lover of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; otherwise come back upon you.
7 In eadem autem domo manete edentes, et bibentes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum.
And in that same house stay, eating and drinking at their table; for the labourer deserves his wages. Do not move from one house to another.
8 Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate quæ apponuntur vobis:
"And whatever town you come to and they receive you, eat what they put before you.
9 et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis: Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei.
Cure the sick in that town, and tell them, "'The Kingdom of God is now at your door.'
10 In quamcumque autem civitatem intraveritis, et non susceperint vos, exeuntes in plateas eius, dicite:
"But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you, go out into the broader streets and say,
11 Etiam pulverem, qui adhæsit nobis de civitate vestra, extergimus in vos: tamen hoc scitote, quia appropinquavit regnum Dei.
"'The very dust of your town that hangs about us we wipe off as a protest. Only be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is close at hand.'
12 Dico vobis, quia Sodomis in die illa remissius erit, quam illi civitati.
"I tell you that it will be more endurable for Sodom on the great day than for that town.
13 Væ tibi Corozain, væ tibi Bethsaida: quia si in Tyro, et Sidone factæ fuissent virtutes, quæ factæ sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio, et cinere sedentes pœniterent.
"Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Verumtamen Tyro, et Sidoni remissius erit in iudicio, quam vobis.
However, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more endurable at the Judgement than for you.
And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be lifted high as Heaven? Thou shalt be driven down as low as Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Qui vos audit, me audit: et qui vos spernit, me spernit. Qui autem me spernit, spernit eum, qui misit me.
"He who listens to you listens to me; and he who disregards you disregards me, and he who disregards me disregards Him who sent me."
17 Reversi sunt autem septuaginta duo cum gaudio, dicentes: Domine, etiam dæmonia subiiciuntur nobis in nomine tuo.
When the Seventy returned, they exclaimed joyfully, "Master, even the demons submit to us when we utter your name."
18 Et ait illis: Videbam Satanam sicut fulgor de cælo cadentem.
"I saw Satan fall like a lightning-flash out of Heaven," He replied.
19 Ecce dedi vobis potestatem calcandi supra serpentes, et scorpiones, et super omnem virtutem inimici: et nihil vobis nocebit.
"I have given you power to tread serpents and scorpions underfoot, and to trample on all the power of the Enemy; and in no case shall anything do you harm.
20 Verumtamen in hoc nolite gaudere quia spiritus vobis subiiciuntur: gaudete autem, quod nomina vestra scripta sunt in cælis.
Nevertheless rejoice not at this, that the spirits submit to you; but rejoice that your names are registered in Heaven."
21 In ipsa hora exultavit Spiritu Sancto, et dixit: Confiteor tibi Pater, Domine cæli et terræ, quod abscondisti hæc a sapientibus, et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis. Etiam Pater: quoniam sic placuit ante te.
On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. "I give Thee fervent thanks," He exclaimed, "O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.
22 Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo scit quis sit Filius, nisi Pater: et quis sit Pater, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare.
All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son may choose to reveal Him."
23 Et conversus ad discipulos suos, dixit: Beati oculi, qui vident quæ vos videtis.
And He turned towards His disciples and said to them apart, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!
24 Dico enim vobis, quod multi prophetæ, et reges voluerunt videre quæ vos videtis, et non viderunt: et audire quæ auditis, et non audierunt.
For I tell you that many Prophets and kings have desired to see the things you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things you hear, and have not heard them."
25 Et ecce quidam legis peritus surrexit tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciendo vitam æternam possidebo? (aiōnios g166)
Then an expounder of the Law stood up to test Him with a question. "Rabbi," he asked, "what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
26 At ille dixit ad eum: In lege quid scriptum est? Quomodo legis?
"Go to the Law," said Jesus; "what is written there? how does it read?"
27 Ille respondens dixit: Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex omnibus virtutibus tuis, et ex omni mente tua: et proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
"'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" he replied, "'with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole strength, and thy whole mind; and thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
28 Dixitque illi: Recte respondisti: hoc fac, et vives.
"A right answer," said Jesus; "do that, and you shall live."
29 Ille autem volens iustificare seipsum, dixit ad Iesum: Et quis est meus proximus?
But he, desiring to justify himself, said, "But what is meant by my 'fellow man'?"
30 Suscipiens autem Iesus, dixit: Homo quidam descendebat ab Ierusalem in Iericho, et incidit in latrones, qui etiam despoliaverunt eum: et plagis impositis abierunt semivivo relicto.
Jesus replied, "A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell among robbers, who after both stripping and beating him went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Accidit autem ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via: et viso illo præterivit.
Now a priest happened to be going down that way, and on seeing him passed by on the other side.
32 Similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum, et videret eum, pertransiit.
In like manner a Levite also came to the place, and seeing him passed by on the other side.
33 Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericordia motus est.
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came where he lay, and seeing him was moved with pity.
34 Et appropians alligavit vulnera eius, infundens oleum, et vinum: et imponens illum in iumentum suum, duxit in stabulum, et curam eius egit.
He went to him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up. Then placing him on his own mule he brought him to an inn, where he bestowed every care on him.
35 Et altera die protulit duos denarios, et dedit stabulario, et ait: Curam illius habe: et quodcumque supererogaveris, ego cum rediero reddam tibi.
The next day he took out two shillings and gave them to the innkeeper. "'Take care of him,' he said, 'and whatever further expense you are put to, I will repay it you at my next visit.'
36 Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones?
"Which of those three seems to you to have acted like a fellow man to him who fell among the robbers?"
37 At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericordiam in illum. Et ait illi Iesus: Vade, et tu fac similiter.
"The one who showed him pity," he replied. "Go," said Jesus, "and act in the same way."
38 Factum est autem, dum irent, et ipse intravit in quoddam castellum: et mulier quædam Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam,
As they pursued their journey He came to a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him to her house.
39 et huic erat soror nomine Maria, quæ etiam sedens secus pedes Domini, audiebat verbum illius.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching.
40 Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium: quæ stetit, et ait: Domine, non est tibi curæ quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? dic ergo illi, ut me adiuvet.
Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table, and she came and said, "Master, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me."
41 Et respondens dixit illis Dominus: Martha, Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima.
"Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about a multitude of things;
42 Porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quæ non auferetur ab ea.
and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."
