Evangelium secundum Lucam, 10

1. Post haec autem designavit Dominus alios septuaginta duos et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem et locum, quo erat ipse venturus.

1. After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

2. Et dicebat illis: “Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci; rogate ergo Dominum messis, ut mittat operarios in messem suam.

2. And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

3. Ite; ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos.

3. Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

4. Nolite portare sacculum neque peram neque calceamenta et neminem per viam salutaveritis.

4. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.

5. In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite: “Pax huic domui”.

5. Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house!'

6. Et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illam pax vestra; sin autem, ad vos revertetur.

6. And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.

7. In eadem autem domo manete edentes et bibentes, quae apud illos sunt: dignus enim est operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum.

7. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.

8. Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate, quae apponuntur vobis,

8. Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;

9. et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis: “Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei”.

9. heal the sick in it and say to them, `The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

10. In quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et non receperint vos, exeuntes in plateas eius dicite:

10. But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,

11. “Etiam pulverem, qui adhaesit nobis ad pedes de civitate vestra, extergimus in vos; tamen hoc scitote, quia appropinquavit regnum Dei”.

11. `Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

12. Dico vobis quia Sodomis in die illa remissius erit quam illi civitati.

12. I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

13. Vae tibi, Chorazin! Vae tibi, Bethsaida! Quia si in Tyro et Sidone factae fuissent virtutes, quae in vobis factae sunt, olim in cilicio et cinere sedentes paeniterent.

13. "Woe to you, Chora'zin! woe to you, Beth-sa'ida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14. Verumtamen Tyro et Sidoni remissius erit in iudicio quam vobis.

14. But it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

15. Et tu, Capharnaum, numquid usque in caelum exaltaberis? Usque ad infernum demergeris!

15. And you, Caper'na-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.

16. Qui vos audit, me audit; et, qui vos spernit, me spernit; qui autem me spernit, spernit eum, qui me misit”.

16. "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

17. Reversi sunt autem septuaginta duo cum gaudio dicentes: “Domine, etiam daemonia subiciuntur nobis in nomine tuo!”.

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

18. Et ait illis: “Videbam Satanam sicut fulgur de caelo cadentem.

18. And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

19. Ecce dedi vobis potestatem calcandi supra serpentes et scorpiones et supra omnem virtutem inimici; et nihil vobis nocebit.

19. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.

20. Verumtamen in hoc nolite gaudere, quia spiritus vobis subiciuntur; gaudete autem quod nomina vestra scripta sunt in caelis”.

20. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

21. In ipsa hora exsultavit Spiritu Sancto et dixit: “Confiteor tibi, Pater, Domine caeli et terrae, quod abscondisti haec a sapientibus et prudentibus et revelasti ea parvulis; etiam, Pater, quia sic placuit ante te.

21. In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will.

22. Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo; et nemo scit qui sit Filius, nisi Pater, et qui sit Pater, nisi Filius et cui voluerit Filius revelare”.

22. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

23. Et conversus ad discipulos seorsum dixit: “Beati oculi, qui vident, quae videtis.

23. Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!

24. Dico enim vobis: Multi prophetae et reges voluerunt videre, quae vos videtis, et non viderunt, et audire, quae auditis, et non audierunt”.

24. For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

25. Et ecce quidam legis peritus surrexit tentans illum dicens: “Magister, quid faciendo vitam aeternam possidebo?”.

25. And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26. At ille dixit ad eum: “In Lege quid scriptum est? Quomodo legis?”.

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

27. Ille autem respondens dixit: “Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota anima tua et ex omnibus viribus tuis et ex omni mente tua et proximum tuum sicut teipsum”.

27. And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

28. Dixitque illi: “Recte respondisti; hoc fac et vives”.

28. And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live."

29. Ille autem, volens iustificare seipsum, dixit ad Iesum: “Et quis est meus proximus?”.

29. But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

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.

30. Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31. Accidit autem, ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via et, viso illo, praeterivit;

31. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

32. similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum et videret eum, pertransiit.

32. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33. Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum et videns eum misericordia motus est,

33. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion,

34. et appropians alligavit vulnera eius infundens oleum et vinum; et imponens illum in iumentum suum duxit in stabulum et curam eius egit.

34. and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35. Et altera die protulit duos denarios et dedit stabulario et ait: “Curam illius habe, et, quodcumque supererogaveris, ego, cum rediero, reddam tibi”.

35. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, `Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.'

36. Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones?”.

36. Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"

37. At ille dixit: “Qui fecit misericordiam in illum”. Et ait illi Iesus: “Vade et tu fac similiter”.

37. He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

38. Cum autem irent, ipse intravit in quoddam castellum, et mulier quaedam Martha nomine excepit illum.

38. Now as they went on their way, he entered a village; and a woman named Martha received him into her house.

39. Et huic erat soror nomine Maria, quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini audiebat verbum illius.

39. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

40. Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium; quae stetit et ait: “Domine, non est tibi curae quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? Dic ergo illi, ut me adiuvet”.

40. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me."

41. Et respondens dixit illi Dominus: “Martha, Martha, sollicita es et turbaris erga plurima,

41. But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;

42. porro unum est necessarium; Maria enim optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea”.

42. one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her."
