¹Potom vyvolil Pán aj iných, sedemdesiatich, a poslal ich po dvoch pred svojou tvárou do každého mesta a na každé miesto, kde mal sám prijsť.

¹And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

²A vravel im: Žatvy je mnoho, ale robotníkov je málo. Preto proste Pána žatvy, žeby vypudil robotníkov do svojej žatvy.

²then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.

³Iďte, hľa, ja vás posielam ako baránkov medzi vlkov.

³`Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

⁴Nenoste ani mešca ani kapsy ani sandálov a nepozdravujte nikoho na ceste.

⁴carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

⁵A do ktoréhokoľvek domu vojdete, najprv tam povedzte: Pokoj tomuto domu!

⁵and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

⁶A jestli tam bude syn pokoja, váš pokoj odpočinie na ňom, ináče sa navráti k vám.

⁶and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

⁷A v tom istom dome ostaňte jediac a pijúc to, čo je u nich; lebo robotník je hoden svojej mzdy. Neprechádzajte z domu do domu.

⁷`And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

⁸A do ktoréhokoľvek mesta vojdete, a prijmú vás, jedzte, čo sa vám predloží,

⁸and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

⁹a uzdravujte nemocných, ktorí sú v ňom, a hovorte im: Priblížilo sa k vám kráľovstvo Božie.

⁹and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

¹⁰Ale do ktoréhokoľvek mesta by ste vošli, a neprijali by vás vyjdúc na jeho ulice povedzte:

¹⁰`And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

¹¹I ten prach, ktorý sa nás prichytil z vášho mesta na nohy, vám stierame. Avšak to vedzte, že sa k vám bolo priblížilo kráľovstvo Božie.

¹¹And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

¹²Ale hovorím vám, že Sodomänom bude znesiteľnejšie toho dňa ako tomu mestu.

¹²and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

¹³Beda ti, Korazime! Beda ti, Betsaido! Lebo keby sa v Týre a v Sidone boly udialy divy, ktoré sa udialy vo vás, dávno by sediac vo vrecovine a v popole boly činily pokánie.

¹³`Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

¹⁴No, Týru a Sidonu bude znesiteľnejšie na súde ako vám.

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

¹⁵A ty, Kafarnaum, ktoré si vyvýšené až do neba, budeš svrhnuté až do pekla.

¹⁵`And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

¹⁶Kto vás počúva, mňa počúva, a kto vami pohŕda, mnou pohŕda; a kto mnou pohŕda, pohŕda tým, ktorý ma poslal.

¹⁶`He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.`

¹⁷Potom sa navrátili tí sedemdesiati s radosťou a hovorili: Pane, aj démoni sa nám poddávajú v tvojom mene.

¹⁷And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;`

¹⁸A on im povedal: Videl som padnúť satana jako blesk z neba.

¹⁸and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

¹⁹Hľa, dal som vám právo a moc šliapať po hadoch a po škorpionoch a nad všetkou mocou nepriateľa, a nič vám neuškodí.

¹⁹lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

²⁰Avšak tomu sa neradujte, že sa vám poddávajú duchovia, ale radšej sa radujte, že sú vaše mená napísané v nebesiach.

²⁰but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.`

²¹V tú hodinu zaplesal Ježiš v duchu a povedal: Chválim ťa, Otče, Pane neba a zeme, že si skryl tieto veci pred múdrymi a rozumnými a zjavil si ich nemluvňatám. Áno, Otče, lebo tak sa ti to ľúbilo.

²¹In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

²²Všetko mi je dané od môjho Otca. A nikto nezná, kto je Syn, iba Otec, a kto je Otec, iba Syn, a komu by to Syn chcel zjaviť.

²²`All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].`

²³A obrátiac sa k učeníkom osobitne v súkromí povedal: Blahoslavené oči, ktoré vidia, čo vy vidíte!

²³And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

²⁴Lebo hovorím vám, že mnohí proroci a kráľovia chceli vidieť, čo vy vidíte, a nevideli, a počuť, čo vy čujete, a nepočuli.

²⁴for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.`

²⁵A hľa, nejaký zákonník vstal a pokúšajúc ho povedal: Učiteľu, čo mám učiniť, aby som dedične obdržal večný život?

²⁵And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?`

²⁶A on mu povedal: Čo je napísané v zákone? Jako čítaš?

²⁶And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?`

²⁷A on odpovedal a riekol: Milovať budeš Pána, svojho Boha, z celého svojho srdca, z celej svojej duše, z celej svojej sily a z celej svojej mysli a svojho blížneho jako samého seba.

²⁷And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.`

²⁸A Ježiš mu povedal: Dobre si odpovedal, to čiň a budeš žiť.

²⁸And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.`

²⁹A on chcúc sám seba ospravedlniť povedal Ježišovi: A kto je mojím blížnym?

²⁹And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?`

³⁰Na to odpovedal Ježiš a riekol: Istý človek išiel z Jeruzalema dolu do Jericha a upadol medzi lotrov, ktorí ho i vyzliekli i zranili a odišli zanechajúc ho polomŕtveho.

³⁰and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.

³¹A náhodou išiel tiež dolu jakýsi kňaz, tou istou cestou, a keď ho zazrel, obišiel druhou stranou.

³¹`And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

³²A podobne aj Levita, ktorý idúc tiež dolu prišiel na to miesto, a keď prišiel a videl, obišiel druhou stranou.

³²and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

³³No, potom prišiel k nemu nejaký Samaritán, uberajúci sa cestou, a keď ho videl, milosrdenstvom bol hnutý

³³`But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴a pristúpil a poobväzoval jeho rany a polial olejom a vínom a vyložiac ho na svoje vlastné hovädo zaviedol ho do hostinca a postaral sa o neho.

³⁴and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

³⁵A druhého dňa, keď odchádzal, vyňal dva denáre, dal hostinskému a povedal mu: Maj o neho starosť, a čo by si nad to viacej vynaložil, ja ti, keď pojdem tadeto zpät, zaplatím.

³⁵and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

³⁶Ktorý teda z týchto troch zdá sa ti, že bol blížnym tomu, ktorý to bol upadol medzi lotrov?

³⁶`Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?`

³⁷A on povedal: Ten, ktorý mu učinil to milosrdenstvo. Vtedy mu povedal Ježiš: Idi a čiň aj ty podobne!

³⁷and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,` then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.`

³⁸A stalo sa, keď išli, že vošiel do jakéhosi mestečka. A istá žena menom Marta, prijala ho do svojho domu.

³⁸And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

³⁹A tá mala sestru, menom Máriu, ktorá si aj sadla k nohám Ježišovým a počúvala jeho slovo.

³⁹and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

⁴⁰Ale Marta bola rozrušená pre mnohú obsluhu a pristúpila k Ježišovi a povedala: Pane, či nedbáš, že ma moja sestra nechala samu obsluhovať? Povedz jej tedy, aby mi pomohla.

⁴⁰and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.`

⁴¹Ale Ježiš odpovedal a riekol jej: Marta, Marta, staráš sa a nepokojíš pre mnohé veci,

⁴¹And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

⁴²a jedného je treba. Mária si vyvolila dobrú čiastku, ktorá nebude odňatá od nej.

⁴²but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.`
