¹Aga pärast seda määras Issand veel seitsekümmend [kaks] ja läkitas nad kahekaupa enese eele igasse linna ja paika, kuhu ta ise tahtis minna.

¹Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him literally, “before his face” into every city and place, where he was about to come.

²Ta ütles neile: 'Lõikust on palju, töötegijaid aga vähe. Paluge siis lõikuse Issandat, et ta saadaks töötegijaid välja oma lõikusele!

²Then 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.

³Minge! Vaata, ma läkitan teid kui lambaid huntide sekka.

³ Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

⁴Ärge kandke kukrut ega pauna ega jalatseid ja ärge teretage kedagi teel!

⁴ Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.

⁵Aga kui te astute kuhugi majja, ütelge esmalt: 'Rahu olgu sellele kojale!'

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

⁶Ja kui seal on rahulaps, siis hingab teie rahu tema peal, aga kui ei ole, pöördub rahu tagasi teie peale.

⁶ If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

⁷Aga jääge samasse majja, sööge ja jooge, mis neil on, sest tööline on oma palka väärt! Ärge käige ühest majast teise!

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.

⁸Ja kui te lähete kuhugi linna ja teid võetakse vastu, siis sööge, mida teile ette pannakse,

⁸ Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

⁹ja tehke terveks sealsed haiged ja öelge neile: 'Jumala riik on teie lähedal!'

⁹ Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

¹⁰Aga kui te lähete kuhugi linna ja teid ei võeta vastu, minge välja selle tänavaile ja öelge:

¹⁰ But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,

¹¹'Ka tolmu, mis teie linnast meie jalgade külge on hakanud, pühime teile maha. Ometi teadke, et Jumala riik on lähedal!'

¹¹ ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

¹²Ma ütlen teile: Soodomal on sel päeval hõlpsam põli kui tollel linnal.

¹² I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

¹³Häda sulle, Korasin! Häda sulle, Betsaida! Sest kui Tüüroses ja Siidonis oleksid sündinud need vägevad teod, mis teie juures on sündinud, küll nad oleksid ammugi kotiriides ja tuhas istudes parandanud meelt.

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.

¹⁴Ometi on Tüürosel ja Siidonil kohtus hõlpsam põli kui teil.

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

¹⁵Ja sina, Kapernaum, kas sind ülendatakse taevani? Ei, surmavallani tõugatakse sind alla.

¹⁵ You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. Hades is the lower realm of the dead, or Hell.

¹⁶Kes teid kuulda võtab, see võtab kuulda mind, kes teid kõrvale lükkab, see lükkab kõrvale minu, kes aga minu kõrvale lükkab, see lükkab kõrvale mu Läkitaja.'

¹⁶ Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

¹⁷Aga need seitsekümmend [kaks] pöördusid rõõmuga tagasi ja ütlesid: 'Issand, ka kurjad vaimud alistuvad meile sinu nime mõjul!'

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

¹⁸Tema ütles neile: 'Ma nägin saatanat kui välku taevast maha langevat.

¹⁸He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

¹⁹Vaata, ma olen andnud teile meelevalla kõndida madude ja skorpionide peal ja vaenlase kogu väe peal ja miski ei tee teile iial kahju.

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.

²⁰Ometi ärge rõõmustage sellest, et vaimud teile alistuvad, vaid rõõmustage, et teie nimed on taevasse kirja pandud!'

²⁰ Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

²¹Selsamal tunnil juubeldas Jeesus Pühas Vaimus ja ütles: 'Ma tänan sind, Isa, taeva ja maa Issand, et sa selle oled peitnud tarkade ja mõistlike eest ja oled ilmutanud väetitele! Jah, Isa, sest nõnda on see sündinud sinu head meelt mööda.

²¹In 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.”

²²Kõik on mu Isa üle andnud mulle ja keegi ei tunne, kes on Poeg, kui vaid Isa, ja kes on Isa, kui vaid Poeg, ja kellele Poeg seda iganes tahab ilmutada.'

²²Turning 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.”

²³Ja omavahel olles ütles Jeesus jüngrite poole pöördudes: 'Õndsad on silmad, mis näevad seda, mida teie näete,

²³Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,

²⁴sest ma ütlen teile, palju prohveteid ja kuningaid on tahtnud näha, mida teie näete, ega ole näinud, ja kuulda, mida teie kuulete, ega ole kuulnud.'

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.”

²⁵Ja vaata, üks seadusetundja tõusis püsti Jeesust kiusama ja küsis: 'Õpetaja, mis ma pean tegema, et pärida igavest elu?'

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

²⁶Aga Jeesus ütles talle: 'Mis Seaduses on kirjutatud? Kuidas sa loed?'

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

²⁷Tema vastas: 'Armasta Issandat, oma Jumalat, kogu oma südamega ja kogu oma hingega ja kogu oma jõuga ja kogu oma mõistusega, ning oma ligimest kui iseennast!'

²⁷He 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; Deuteronomy 6:5 and your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18

²⁸Siis Jeesus ütles talle: 'Sa oled õigesti vastanud, tee nii, ja sa elad!'

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

²⁹Tema aga, tahtes iseennast õigustada, küsis Jeesuselt: 'Ja kes siis on mu ligimene?'

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

³⁰Jeesus ütles kõnelust jätkates: 'Üks inimene läks Jeruusalemmast alla Jeeriko poole ja sattus teeröövlite kätte. Kui need olid ta riided röövinud ja talle hoope andnud, läksid nad ära, jättes ta poolsurnuna maha.

³⁰Jesus 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.

³¹Juhtumisi tuli keegi preester sedasama teed, ja kui ta teda nägi, läks ta kaarega mööda.

³¹ By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

³²Nõndasamuti ka leviit, kui ta sattus sinna paika ja teda nägi, läks ringiga mööda.

³² In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.

³³Aga sama teed tuli üks samaarlane. Kui ta jõudis temani ja teda nägi, hakkas tal hale

³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴ja ta astus ligi, sidus mehe haavad, valas nende peale õli ja veini, tõstis ta oma muula selga, viis öömajale ning kandis hoolt tema eest.

³⁴ came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

³⁵Ja järgmisel hommikul võttis ta välja kaks teenarit, andis need peremehele ja ütles: 'Kanna tema eest hoolt, ja kui sa midagi veel lisaks peaksid kulutama, selle maksan mina sulle tagasi tulles.'

³⁵ On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and 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.’

³⁶Kes neist kolmest oli sinu arvates ligimene inimesele, kes oli sattunud teeröövlite kätte?'

³⁶ Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”

³⁷Seadusetundja ütles: 'See, kes tema peale halastas.' Jeesus ütles talle: 'Siis mine ja tee sina nõndasamuti!'

³⁷He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

³⁸Aga kui nad teed käisid, astus Jeesus sisse ühte külla. Keegi naine, Marta nimi, võttis ta vastu.

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

³⁹Ja sel naisel oli õde, keda hüüti Maarjaks. Maarja istus maha Issanda jalgade juurde ja kuulas tema kõnet.

³⁹She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

⁴⁰Marta aga oli ametis mitmesuguste toimetustega. Ja ta tuli Jeesuse juurde ning ütles: 'Issand, kas sa ei hooli sellest, et mu õde jättis mu üksinda toimetama? Ütle talle nüüd, et ta tuleks mulle appi!'

⁴⁰But 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.”

⁴¹Aga Issand vastas talle: 'Marta, Marta, sa muretsed ja vaevad ennast paljude asjadega,

⁴¹Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

⁴²aga tarvis on vaid üht. Maarja on ju valinud hea osa, mida ei võeta temalt ära.'

⁴² but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
