Lucas 10

1 Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him*10:1 literally, "before his face" into every city and place where he was about to come. 2 Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. 5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ 6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house. 8 Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’ 10 But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. 15 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. *10:15 Hades is the lower realm of the dead, or Hell. 16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"

18 He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21 In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."

22 Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."

23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see, 24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them."

25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

27 He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind;✝10:27 Deuteronomy 6:5 and your neighbor as yourself."✝10:27 Leviticus 19:18

28 He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

30 Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion, 34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’ 36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

37 He said, "He who showed mercy on him."

Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

38 As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

41 Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Ka Tonoa e Īhu te Whitu Tekau

1 Nā, i muri i ēnei mea ka whakaritea e te Ariki ētahi atu e whitu tekau, ā, tonoa ana rātou takirua, takirua, i mua i a ia ki ngā pā katoa, ki ngā wāhi meāke nei ia haere ki reira. 2 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "He nui te kotinga, ko ngā kaimahi ia he ruarua; nā, īnoi atu ki te Ariki nāna te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tāna kotinga. 3 Haere! Nanā, ka tonoa nei koutou e ahau, ānō he reme ki waenganui o ngā wuruhi. 4 Kaua e mauria he takotoranga moni, kaua he pūtea, kaua he hū; kaua anō e oha atu ki tētahi i te huarahi.

5 "Ki te tomo koutou ki tētahi whare, mātua mea atu, ‘Kia tau te rangimārie ki tēnei whare.’ 6 Ā, ki te mea kei reira te tama a te rangimārie, ka tau tā koutou rangimārie ki a ia; ki te kāhore, e hoki anō ki a koutou. 7 Nā, hei taua whare koutou noho ai, kai ai, inu ai i tā rātou e hōmai ai; ka tika hoki te utu mō te kaimahi. Kaua e hāereere i tēnei whare ki tērā whare.

8 "Ka tomo koutou ki tētahi pā, ā, ka manako rātou ki a koutou, kainga ngā mea e whakatakotoria ana mā koutou. 9 Me whakaora te hunga mate o reira, ka mea ki a rātou, ‘Kua tata ki a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua.’ 10 Tēnā, ki te tomo koutou ki tētahi pā, ā, e kore rātou e manako ki a koutou, me haere atu ki ngā huarahi o reira, me kī atu, 11 ‘Nā, ko te puehu o tō koutou pā e piri nei ki a mātou, tēnei ka tahia atu nei e mātou ki a koutou; otirā, kia mōhio koutou ki tēnei, kua tata ki a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua.’ 12 Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, engari tō Horoma i taua rā e māmā i tō taua pā."

Ngā Taone Whakapono kore

13 "Auē te mate mōu, e Korahina! Auē te mate mōu, e Petahaira! Me i meatia hoki ki Tāira, ki Hairona ngā merekara kua meatia nei ki a kōrua, kua rīpenetā kē rāua, he taratara hoki te kākahu, me te noho i roto i te pungarehu. 14 Otirā, erangi tō Tāira, tō Hairona i te whakawā e māmā i tō kōrua. 15 Ā, ko koe, e Kaperenauma, tērā koe e ikeike, ā tae noa ki te rangi? Ka whakatakā koe ki te rēinga.

16 "Ki te whakarongo tētahi ki a koutou, e whakarongo ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakāhore tētahi ki a koutou, e whakakāhore ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakāhore tētahi ki ahau, e whakakāhore ana ki tōku kaitono mai."

Te Hokinga mai o te Whitu Tekau

17 Nā, hoki hari ana te whitu tekau, ka mea, "E te Ariki, rongo tonu ngā rēwera nei ki a mātou, he mea nā tōu ingoa!"

18 Ka mea ia ki a rātou, "I kite ahau i a Hātana, me te mea he uira te takanga i te rangi. 19 Nā, ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou he mana e takahi ai koutou i runga i ngā nākahi, i ngā kopiona, i te kaha katoa anō o te hoa whawhai; ā, e kore rawa koutou e mate i tētahi mea. 20 Otirā, kaua e hari ki tēnei, ki ngā wairua ka riro nei ki raro i a koutou; ko tā koutou ia e tino hari ai, ko ō koutou ingoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te rangi!"

Ka Hari a Īhu

21 I taua wā anō ka hari ia i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea, "Ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Pā, e te Ariki o te rangi, o te whenua, kua huna nei hoki e koe ēnei mea i te hunga mātau, i te hunga mahara, ā, whakakitea ana ki ngā kōhungahunga; āe rā, e Pā, i pai hoki te pēnei ki tāu titiro.

22 "Kua oti ngā mea katoa te tuku ki ahau e tōku Matua; e kore anō tētahi e mātau ki te Tama ko wai ia, ko te Matua anake; ko wai rānei te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata anō hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ia."

23 Nā, ka tahuri ia ki ngā ākonga, ka mea puku atu, "Ka hari ngā kanohi e kite ana i ngā mea e kite nei koutou! 24 Ko tāku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, he tokomaha ngā poropiti me ngā kīngi i hiahia kia kite i ngā mea e kite nei koutou, ā, kāhore i kite; kia rongo anō i ngā mea e rongo nei koutou, ā, kāhore i rongo."

Te Kupu Whakarite o te Hamari Pai

25 Nā, ka whakatika tētahi kaiwhakaako o te ture, ka whakamātautau i a ia, ka mea, "E te Kaiwhakaako, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?"

26 Ka mea ia ki a ia, "He aha te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture? Ka pēhea tāu kōrero?"

27 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, " ‘Kia whakapaua tōu ngākau, tōu wairua, tōu kaha, tōu hinengaro, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tōu Atua; me aroha hoki ki tōu hoa tata ānō ko koe.’ "

28 Ka mea ia ki a ia, "Ka tika tāu kōrero; meinga tēnei, ā, ka ora koe."

29 Otirā, ka mea ia ki te whakatika i a ia, ka kī atu ki a Īhu, "Ko wai rā tōku hoa tata?"

30 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea, "E haere iho ana tētahi tangata i Hiruhārama ki Heriko, ā, ka tūtaki ki ngā kaipāhua, nā, ka huia ōna e rātou, ka tukitukia ia, ā, haere ana, whakarērea iho ia, me te mea kua mate. 31 Nā, ko tētahi tohunga e haere noa ana i taua ara, ā, i tōna kitenga i a ia, ninihi kē ana nā tahaki. 32 I pēnā hoki tētahi Rīwaiti, tae kau ki taua wāhi, ka haere, ka titiro, ninihi kē ana nā tahaki. 33 Otirā, ko tētahi Hamari e haere ana ki ngā whenua, i te taenga ki a ia, ka kite i a ia, ka aroha. 34 Nā, ka haere, ka takai i ōna patunga, ringihia iho ki te hinu, ki te wāina, ka whakanoho i a ia ki tōna ake kararehe, ā, kawea ana ia ki te whare tira, atawhaitia ana ia. 35 I te aonga ake, i tōna haerenga, ka tangohia e ia e rua ngā pene, hoatu ana ki te tangata i te whare, ka mea ki a ia, ‘Māu ia e tiaki; ā, ki te maha atu āu mea e pau, māku koe e utu ina hoki mai ahau.’

36 "Nā, ki tōu whakaaro, ko wai o tēnei tokotoru te hoa ōna i tūtaki nei ki ngā kaipāhua?"

37 Ka mea ia, "Ko tērā i atawhaitia ai ia."

Nā, ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Haere, kia pērā anō tāu mahi."

Ka Toro a Īhu i a Māta rāua ko Meri

38 Ā, i tō rātou haerenga atu, ka tomo ia ki tētahi kāinga, nā, ko tētahi wahine ko Māta te ingoa, i whakamanuhiri i a ia ki tōna whare. 39 He teina anō tōna, ko Meri te ingoa. Nā, ka noho tēnei ki ngā waewae o Īhu, whakarongo ai ki tāna kupu. 40 Nā, raruraru noa iho a Māta i te nui o te mahi tuari, ā, haere ana, ka mea, "E te Ariki, he mea noa oti ki a koe kia waiho e tōku teina māku anake te tuari? Nā, kōrero atu kia haere mai ia hei hoa mōku."

41 Ka whakahoki te Ariki, ka mea ki a ia, "E Māta, e Māta, e mānukanuka ana koe, e raruraru ana ki ngā mea maha. 42 Kotahi ia te mea e matea ana; ā, kua whiriwhiria e Meri tēnā wāhi pai, e kore nei e tangohia i a ia."
