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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.’

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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