1 וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן הִבְדִּיל הָאָדוֹן עוֹד שִׁבְעִים אֲחֵרִים וַיִּשְׁלָחֵם לְפָנָיו שְׁנַיִם שְׁנַיִם אֶל־כָּל־עִיר וּמָקוֹם אֲשֶׁר בִּקֵּשׁ לָבוֹא שָׁמָּה	1 Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הֵן הַקָּצִיר רַב וְהַפֹּעֲלִים מְעַטִּים לָכֵן הִתְחַנְנוּ אֶל־אֲדוֹן הַקָּצִיר וְיִשְׁלַח פֹּעֲלִים לִקְצִירוֹ	2 And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 לְכוּ־נָא הִנְנִי שֹׁלֵחַ אֶתְכֶם כַּכְּבָשִׂים בֵּין הַזְּאֵבִים	3 Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 אַל־תִּשְׂאוּ כִיס וְלֹא תַרְמִיל וְלֹא נְעָלִים וְאַל־תִּשְׁאֲלוּ לִשְׁלוֹם־אִישׁ בַּדָּרֶךְ	4 Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 וּלְכָל־בַּיִת אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאוּ שָׁם אִמְרוּ בָרִאשׁוֹנָה שָׁלוֹם לַבַּיִת הַזֶּה	5 Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 וְהָיָה כִּי יִהְיֶה־שָּׁם בֶּן־שָׁלוֹם וְנָח עָלָיו שְׁלוֹמְכֶם וְאִם־לֹא אֲלֵיכֶם יָשׁוּב	6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 וּבַבַּיִת הַהוּא תֵּשְׁבוּ וְתֹאכְלוּ וְתִשְׁתּוּ מִשֶּׁלָּהֶם כִּי שֹׁוֶה הַפּוֹעֵל בִּשְׂכָרוֹ אַל־תִּסְעוּ מִבַּיִת לְבָיִת	7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 וְכָל־עִיר אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאוּ בָהּ וְקִבְּלוּ אֶתְכֶם אִכְלוּ־שָׁם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר יָשִׂימוּ לִפְנֵיכֶם	8 And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 וְרִפְאוּ אֶת־הַחוֹלִים אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבָּהּ וְאִמְרוּ לָהֶם קָרְבָה אֲלֵיכֶם מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	9 And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 וְכָל־עִיר אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאוּ בָהּ וְלֹא יְקַבְּלוּ אֶתְכֶם צְאוּ לָכֶם אֶל־רְחוֹבוֹתֶיהָ וְאִמְרוּ	10 But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 אַף אֶת־עֲפַר עִירְכֶם הַנִּדְבָּק בְּרַגְלֵינוּ נְנַעֲרֵהוּ לָכֶם אַךְ יָדֹעַ תֵּדְעוּ כִּי קָרְבָה אֲלֵיכֶם מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	11 ‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 אֲנִי אֹמֵר אֲלֵיכֶם כִּי לִסְדוֹם יֵקַל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא מִן־הָעִיר הַהִיא	12 I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 אוֹי לָךְ כּוֹרָזִין אוֹי לָךְ בֵּית־צָיְדָה כִּי הַגְּבוּרוֹת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשֹוּ בְקִרְבְּכֶן אִלּוּ נַעֲשֹוּ בְּצוֹר וּבְצִידוֹן הֲלֹא כְבָר יָשְׁבוּ בְּשַׂק וָאֵפֶר וָשָׁבוּ	13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 אָכֵן לְצוֹר וְצִידוֹן יֵקַל בַּדִּין מִכֶּם	14 Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
15 וְאַתְּ כְּפַר־נַחוּם אֲשֶׁר עַד־הַשָּׁמַיִם הִתְרוֹמָמְתְּ אֶל־שְׁאוֹל תּוּרָדִי	15 And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell.
16 הַשּׁוֹמֵעַ אֲלֵיכֶם אֵלַי הוּא שׁוֹמֵעַ וְהַבּוֹזֶה אֶתְכֶם אוֹתִי הוּא בוֹזֶה וְהַבּוֹזֶה אוֹתִי הוּא בוֹזֶה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי	16 Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 וַיָּשׁוּבוּ הַשִּׁבְעִים בְּשִׂמְחָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ גַּם־הַשֵּׁדִים נִכְנָעִים לָנוּ בִּשְׁמֶךָ	17 Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם רָאִיתִי אֶת־הַשָּׂטָן נֹפֵל כַּבָּרָק מִן־הַשָּׁמָיִם	18 And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 הִנֵּה הִשְׁלַטְתִּי אֶתְכֶם לִדְרֹךְ עַל־נְחָשִׁים וְעַקְרַבִּים וְעַל כָּל־גְּבוּרַת הָאֹיֵב וְכָל־דָּבָר לֹא יַזִּיק לָכֶם	19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 אַךְ בָּזֹאת אַל־תִּשְׂמְחוּ כִּי־נִכְנָעִים לָכֶם הָרוּחוֹת כִּי אִם־שִׂמְחוּ עַל אֲשֶׁר־נִכְתְּבוּ שְׁמוֹתֵיכֶם בַּשָּׁמָיִם	20 Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא עָלַץ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיֹּאמַר אוֹדְךָ הָאָב אֲדוֹן הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ כִּי הִסְתַּרְתָּ אֶת־אֵלֶּה מִן־הַחֲכָמִים וְהַנְּבוֹנִים וְגִלִּיתָם לָעֹלָלִים הֵן אָבִי כִּי־כֵן הָיָה רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ	21 In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 הַכֹּל נִמְסַר־לִי מֵאֵת אָבִי וְאֵין יוֹדֵעַ מִי הוּא הַבֵּן בִּלְתִּי הָאָב וּמִי הוּא הָאָב בִּלְתִּי הַבֵּן וַאֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ הַבֵּן לְגַלּוֹתוֹ לוֹ	22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 וַיִּפֶן אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו לְבַדָּם וַיֹּאמַר אַשְׁרֵי הָעֵינַיִם הָרֹאוֹת אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים	23 And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 כִּי אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם נְבִיאִים וּמְלָכִים רַבִּים חָפְצוּ לִרְאוֹת אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים וְלֹא רָאוּ וְלִשְׁמֹעַ אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם שֹׁמְעִים וְלֹא שָׁמֵעוּ	24 For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 וְהִנֵּה אֶחָד מִבַּעֲלֵי הַתּוֹרָה קָם לְנַסּוֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמַר מוֹרֶה מָה־אֶעֱשֶׂה וְאִירַשׁ חַיֵּי עוֹלָם	25 And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?”
26 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מַה־כָּתוּב בַּתּוֹרָה וְאֵיךְ אַתָּה קוֹרֵא	26 But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁךָ וּבְכָל־מְאֹדְךָ וּבְכָל־מַדָּעֲךָ וְאֶת־רֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ	27 In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֵּן הֱשִׁיבוֹתָ עֲשֵׂה־זֹאת וֶחְיֵה	28 And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 וְהוּא חָפֵץ לְהִצְטַדֵּק וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל יֵשׁוּעַ וּמִי הוּא רֵעִי	29 But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר אִישׁ אֶחָד יָרַד מִירוּשָׁלַיִם לִירִיחוֹ וְנָפַל בִּידֵי שֹׁדְדִים וְהֵם הִפְשִׁיטֻהוּ וְגַם פְּצָעֻהוּ וַיַּעַזְבוּ אוֹתוֹ בֵּין חַיִּים לָמָוֶת וַיֵּלְכוּ לָהֶם	30 Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31 וַיִּקֶר הַמִּקְרֶה כִּי־יָרַד כֹּהֵן אֶחָד בַּדֶּרֶךְ הַהוּא וַיַּרְא אֹתוֹ וַיַּעֲבֹר מֵעָלָיו	31 And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 וְכֵן גַּם־אִישׁ לֵוִי פָּגַע בַּמָּקוֹם וַיִּגַּשׁ וַיַּרְא אֹתוֹ וַיַּעֲבֹר מֵעָלָיו	32 And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 וְאִישׁ שֹׁמְרוֹנִי הֹלֵךְ בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיָּבֹא עָלָיו וַיַּרְא אֹתוֹ וַיֶּהֱמוּ רַחֲמָיו	33 But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו וַיֶּחְבַּשׁ אֶת־פְּצָעָיו וַיְסוּכֵם בְּשֶׁמֶן וַיָיִן וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ עַל־בְּהֶמְתּוֹ וַיּוֹלִיכֵהוּ אֶל־הַמָּלוֹן וַיְכַלְכְּלֵהוּ	34 And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35 וְלַמָּחֳרָת בְּנָסְעוֹ הוֹצִיא שְׁנֵי דִינָרִים וַיִּתְּנֵם לְבַעַל הַמָּלוֹן וַיֹּאמַר כַּלְכֵּל אוֹתוֹ וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר תּוֹסִיף עוֹד לְהוֹצִיא עָלָיו אֲנִי בְשׁוּבִי אֲשַׁלְּמֶנּוּ לָךְ	35 And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36 וְעַתָּה מִי מֵאֵלֶּה הַשְּׁלשָׁה הָיָה בְעֵינֶיךָ הָרֵעַ לַנֹּפֵל בִּידֵי הַשֹּׁדְדִים	36 Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 וַיֹּאמֶר הָעֹשֶׂה עִמּוֹ אֶת־הֶחָסֶד וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לֵךְ וַעֲשֵׂה־כֵן גַּם־אָתָּה	37 Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 וַיְהִי בְנָסְעָם וַיָּבֹא אֶל־כְּפָר אֶחָד וְאִשָּׁה אַחַת וּשְׁמָהּ מָרְתָא אָסְפָה אוֹתוֹ אֶל־בֵּיתָהּ	38 Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 וְלָהּ הָיְתָה אָחוֹת וּשְׁמָהּ מִרְיָם אֲשֶׁר יָשְׁבָה לְרַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל־דְּבָרוֹ	39 And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 וּמָרְתָא יָגְעָה בְּרֹב שֵׁרוּתָהּ וַתִּגַּשׁ וַתֹּאמֶר הֲלֹא תָשִׂים עַל־לִבְּךָ אֲדֹנִי אֲשֶׁר אֲחוֹתִי עֲזָבַתְנִי לְשָׁרֵת לְבַדִּי אֱמָר־נָא אֵלֶיהָ וְתַעֲזָר־לִי	40 Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ מָרְתָא מָרְתָא אַתְּ דֹּאֶגֶת וּמְבֹהֶלֶת עַל־הַרְבֵּה	41 And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 אֲבָל אַחַת הִיא מִן־הַצֹּרֶךְ וּמִרְיָם בָּחֲרָה לָהּ הַחֵלֶק הַטּוֹב אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יֻקַּח מִמֶּנָּה	42 And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
