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.

¹¶ Na i muri i enei mea ka whakaritea e te Ariki etahi atu e whitu tekau, a tonoa ana ratou takirua, takirua, i mua i a ia ki nga pa katoa, ki nga wahi meake nei ia haere ki reira.

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.

²I mea ano ia ki ratou, He nui te kotinga, ko nga kaimahi ia he ruarua: na inoi atu ki te Ariki nana te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tana kotinga.

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

³Haere: nana, ka tonoa nei koutou e ahau, ano he reme ki waenganui o nga wuruhi.

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

⁴Kaua e mauria he takotoranga moni, kaua he putea, kaua he hu: kaua ano e oha atu ki tetahi ai te huarahi.

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

⁵Ki te tomo koutou ki tetahi whare, matua mea atu, Kia tau te rangimarie ki tenei whare.

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

⁶A ki te mea kei reira te tama a te rangimarie, ka tau ta koutou rangimarie ki a ia: ki te kahore, e hoki ano ki a koutou.

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.

⁷Na hei taua whare koutou noho ai, kai ai, inu ai i ta ratou e homai ai: ka tika hoki te utu mo te kaimahi. Kaua e haereere i tenei whare ki tera whare.

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

⁸Ka tomo koutou ki tetahi pa, a ka manako ratou ki a koutou, kainga nga mea e whakatakotoria ana ma koutou:

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

⁹Me whakaora te hunga mate o reira, ka mea ki a ratou, Kua tata ki a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

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

¹⁰Tena ki te tomo koutou ki tetahi pa, a e kore ratou e manako ki a koutou, me haere atu ki nga huarahi o reira, me ki atu,

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.’

¹¹Na, ko te puehu o to koutou pa e piri nei ki a matou, tenei ka tahia atu nei e matou ki a koutou: otira kia mohio koutou ki tenei, kua tata ki a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

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

¹²Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Engari to Horoma i taua ra e mama i to taua pa.

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.

¹³Aue, te mate mou, e Korahina! aue, te mate mou, e Petahaira! me i meatia hoki ki Taira, ki Hairona nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a korua, kua ripeneta ke raua, he taratara hoki te kakahu, me te noho i roto i te pungarehu.

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

¹⁴Otira erangi to Taira, to Hairona i te whakawa e mama i to korua.

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

¹⁵A ko koe, e Kaperenauma, tera koe e ikeike, a tae noa ki te rangi? Ka whakataka koe ki te reinga.

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

¹⁶Ki te whakarongo tetahi ki a koutou, e whakarongo ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakahore tetahi ki a koutou, e whakakahore ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakahore ana ia ki ahau; ki te whakakahore tetahi ki ahau, e whakakahore ana ki toku kaitono mai.

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

¹⁷¶ Na hoki hari ana te whitu tekau, ka mea, E te Ariki, rongo tonu nga rewera nei ki a matou, he mea na tou ingoa.

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

¹⁸Ka mea ia ki a ratou, I kite ahau i a Hatana, me te mea he uira te takanga i te rangi.

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.

¹⁹Na ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou he mana e takahi ai koutou i runga i nga nakahi, i nga kopiona, i te kaha katoa ano o te hoa whawhai: a e kore rawa koutou e mate i tetahi mea.

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

²⁰Otira kaua e hari ki tenei, ki nga wairua ka riro nei ki raro i a koutou; ko ta koutou ia e tino hari ai, ko o koutou ingoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki te rangi.

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.”

²¹I taua wa ano ka hari ia i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, e Pa, e te Ariki o te rangi, o te whenua, kua huna nei hoki e koe enei mea i te hunga matau, i te hunga mahara, a whakakitea ana ki nga kohungahunga: ae ra, e pa, i pai hoki te penei ki tau titiro.

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.”

²²Kua oti nga mea katoa te tuku ki ahau e toku matua: e kore ano tetahi e matau ki te Tama ko wai ia, ko te Matua anake; ko wai ranei te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata ano hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ia.

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

²³Na ka tahuri ia ki nga akonga, ka mea puku atu, Ka hari nga kanohi e kite ana i nga mea e kite nei koutou:

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.”

²⁴Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, he tokomaha nga poropiti me nga kingi i hiahia kia kite i nga mea e kite nei koutou, a kahore i kite; kia rongo ano i nga mea e rongo nei koutou, a kahore i rongo.

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

²⁵¶ Na ka whakatika tetahi kaiwhakaako o te ture, ka whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea, E te kaiwhakaako, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?

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

²⁶Ka mea ia ki a ia, he aha te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture? ka pehea tau korero?

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

²⁷na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kia whakapaua tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou kaha, tou hinengaro, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua; me aroha hoki ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe.

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

²⁸Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ka tika tau korero: meinga tenei, a ka ora koe.

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

²⁹Otira ka mea ia ki te whakatika i a ia, ka ki atu ki a Ihu, Ko wai ra toku hoa tata?

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.

³⁰Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, E haere iho ana tetahi tangata i Hiruharama ki heriko, a ka tutaki ki nga kaipahua, na ka huia ona e ratou, ka tukitukia ia, a haere ana, whakarerea iho ia, me te mea kua mate.

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

³¹Na, ko tetahi tohunga e haere noa ana i taua ara: a, i tona kitenga i a ia, ninihi ke ana na tahaki.

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

³²I pena hoki tetahi Riwaiti, tae kau ki taua wahi, ka haere, ka titiro, ninihi ke ana na tahaki.

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

³³Otira ko tetahi hamari e haere ana ki nga whenua, i te taenga ki a ia, ka kite i a ia, ka aroha,

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.

³⁴Na ka haere, ka takai i ona patunga, ringihia iho ki te hinu, ki te waina, ka whakanoho i a ia ki tona ake kararehe, a kawea ana ia ki te whare tira, atawhaitia ana ia.

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.’

³⁵I te aonga ake, i tona haerenga, ka tangohia e ia e rua nga pene, hoatu ana ki te tangata i te whare, ka mea ki a ia, Mau ia e tiaki; a ki te maha atu au mea e pau, maku koe e utu ina hoki mai ahau.

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

³⁶Na, ki tou whakaaro, ko wai o tenei tokotoru te hoa ona i tutaki nei ki nga kaipahua?

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

³⁷Ka mea ia, Ko tera i atawhaitia ai ia. Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere, kia pera ano tau mahi.

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.

³⁸¶ A i to ratou haerenga atu, ka tomo ia ki tetahi kainga: na, ko tetahi wahine ko Mata te ingoa, i whakamanuhiri i a ia ki tona whare.

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

³⁹He teina ano tona, ko Meri te ingoa, na ka noho tenei ki nga waewae o Ihu, whakarongo ai ki tana kupu.

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.”

⁴⁰Na raruraru noa iho a Mata i te nui o te mahi tuari, a haere ana, ka mea, E te Ariki, he mea noa oti ki a koe kia waiho e toku teina maku anake te tuari? na, korero atu kia haere mai ia hei hoa moku.

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

⁴¹Ka whakahoki te Ariki, ka mea ki a ia, E Mata, e Mata, e manukanuka ana koe, e raruraru ana ki nga mea maha:

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

⁴²Kotahi ia te mea e matea ana: a kua whiriwhiria e Meri tena wahi pai, e kore nei e tangohia i a ia.
