1 N a 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.

And 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,

2 I 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 A 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.

and 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.

7 N a 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.

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

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

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

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

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

10 T ena 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,

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

11 N a, 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.

And 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;

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

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

13 A ue, 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.

`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;

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

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

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

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

16 K i 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.

`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.'

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

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

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

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

19 N a 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.

lo, 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;

20 O tira 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.

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

21 I 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.

In 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.

22 K ua 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.

`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.'

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

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

24 K o 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.

for 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.'

25 N a 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?

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

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

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

27 n a 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.

And 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.'

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

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

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

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

30 N a 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.

and Jesus having taken up, 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 half dead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

34 N a 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.

and 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;

35 I 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.

and 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

And 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,

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

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

40 N a 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.

and 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.'

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

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

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

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