लूका 10
1 और इन बातों के बाद प्रभु ने सत्तर और मनुष्य नियुक्त किए और जिस जिस नगर और जगह को वह आप जाने पर था, वहां उन्हें दो दो करके अपने आगे भेजा।
2 और उस ने उन से कहा; पके खेत बहुत हैं; परन्तु मजदूर थोड़े हैं: इसलिये खेत के स्वामी से बिनती करो, कि वह अपने खेत काटने को मजदूर भेज दे।
3 जाओ; देखों मैं तुम्हें भेड़ों की नाईं भेडियों के बीच में भेजता हूं।
4 इसलिये न बटुआ, न झोली, न जूते लो; और न मार्ग में किसी को नमस्कार करो।
5 जिस किसी घर में जाओ, पहिले कहो, कि इस घर पर कल्याण हो।
6 यदि वहां कोई कल्याण के योग्य होगा; तो तुम्हारा कल्याण उस पर ठहरेगा, नहीं तो तुम्हारे पास लौट आएगा।
7 उसी घर में रहो, और जो कुछ उन से मिले, वही खाओ पीओ, क्योंकि मजदूर को अपनी मजदूरी मिलनी चाहिए: घर घर न फिरना।
8 और जिस नगर में जाओ, और वहां के लोग तुम्हें उतारें, तो जो कुछ तुम्हारे साम्हने रखा जाए वही खाओ।
9 वहां के बीमारों को चंगा करो: और उन से कहो, कि परमेश्वर का राज्य तुम्हारे निकट आ पहुंचा है।
10 परन्तु जिस नगर में जाओ, और वहां के लोग तुम्हें ग्रहण न करें, तो उसके बाजारों में जाकर कहो।
11 कि तुम्हारे नगर की धूल भी, जो हमारे पांवों में लगी है, हम तुम्हारे साम्हने झाड़ देते हैं, तौभी यह जान लो, कि परमेश्वर का राज्य तुम्हारे निकट आ पहुंचा है।
12 मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि उस दिन उस नगर की दशा से सदोम की दशा सहने योग्य होगी।
13 हाय खुराजीन ! हाय बैतसैदा ! जो सामर्थ के काम तुम में किए गए, यदि वे सूर और सैदा में किए जाते, तो टाट ओढ़कर और राख में बैठकर वे कब के मन फिराते।
14 परन्तु न्याय के दिन तुम्हरी दशा से सूर और सैदा की दशा सहने योग्य होगी।
15 और हे कफरनहूम, क्या तू स्वर्ग तक ऊंचा किया जाएगा? तू तो अधोलोक तक नीचे जाएगा।
16 जो तुम्हारी सुनता है, वह मेरी सुनता है, और जो तुम्हें तुच्छ जानता है, वह मुझे तुच्छ जानता है; और जो मुझे तुच्छ जानता है, वह मेरे भेजनेवाले को तुच्छ जानता है।
17 वे सत्तर आनन्द से फिर आकर कहने लगे, हे प्रभु, तेरे नाम से दुष्टात्मा भी हमारे वश में हैं।
18 उस ने उन से कहा; मैं शैतान को बिजली की नाईं स्वर्ग से गिरा हुआ देख रहा था।
19 देखो, मैने तुम्हे सांपों और बिच्छुओं को रौंदने का, और शत्रु की सारी सामर्थ पर अधिकार दिया है; और किसी वस्तु से तुम्हें कुछ हानि न होगी।
20 तौभी इस से आनन्दित मत हो, कि आत्मा तुम्हारे वश में हैं, परन्तु इस से आनन्दित हो कि तुम्हारे नाम स्वर्ग पर लिखे हैं॥
21 उसी घड़ी वह पवित्र आत्मा में होकर आनन्द से भर गया, और कहा; हे पिता, स्वर्ग और पृथ्वी के प्रभु, मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करता हूं, कि तू ने इन बातों को ज्ञानियों और समझदारों से छिपा रखा, और बालकों पर प्रगट किया: हां, हे पिता, क्योंकि तुझे यही अच्छा लगा।
22 मेरे पिता ने मुझे सब कुछ सौंप दिया है और कोई नहीं जानता कि पुत्र कौन है केवल पिता और पिता कौन है यह भी कोई नहीं जानता, केवल पुत्र के और वह जिस पर पुत्र उसे प्रकट करना चाहे।
23 और चेलों की ओर फिरकर निराले में कहा, धन्य हैं वे आंखे, जो ये बातें जो तुम देखते हो देखती हैं।
24 क्योंकि मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि बहुत से भविष्यद्वक्ताओं और राजाओं ने चाहा, कि जो बातें तुम देखते हो देखें; पर न देखीं और जो बातें तुम सुनते हो सुनें, पर न सुनीं॥
25 और देखो, एक व्यवस्थापक उठा; और यह कहकर, उस की परीक्षा करने लगा; कि हे गुरू, अनन्त जीवन का वारिस होने के लिये मैं क्या करूं?
26 उस ने उस से कहा; कि व्यवस्था में क्या लिखा है तू कैसे पढ़ता है?
27 उस ने उत्तर दिया, कि तू प्रभु अपने परमेश्वर से अपने सारे मन और अपने सारे प्राण और अपनी सारी शक्ति और अपनी सारी बुद्धि के साथ प्रेम रख; और अपने पड़ोसी से अपने समान प्रेम रख।
28 उस ने उस से कहा, तू ने ठीक उत्तर दिया है, यही कर: तो तू जीवित रहेगा।
29 परन्तु उस ने अपनी तईं धर्मी ठहराने की इच्छा से यीशु से पूछा, तो मेरा पड़ोसी कौन है?
30 यीशु ने उत्तर दिया; कि एक मनुष्य यरूशलेम से यरीहो को जा रहा था, कि डाकुओं ने घेरकर उसके कपड़े उतार लिए, और मार पीट कर उसे अधमूआ छोड़कर चले गए।
31 और ऐसा हुआ; कि उसी मार्ग से एक याजक जा रहा था: परन्तु उसे देख के कतरा कर चला गया।
32 इसी रीति से एक लेवी उस जगह पर आया, वह भी उसे देख के कतरा कर चला गया।
33 परन्तु एक सामरी यात्री वहां आ निकला, और उसे देखकर तरस खाया।
34 और उसके पास आकर और उसके घावों पर तेल और दाखरस डालकर पट्टियां बान्धी, और अपनी सवारी पर चढ़ाकर सराय में ले गया, और उस की सेवा टहल की।
35 दूसरे दिन उस ने दो दिनार निकालकर भटियारे को दिए, और कहा; इस की सेवा टहल करना, और जो कुछ तेरा और लगेगा, वह मैं लौटने पर तुझे भर दूंगा।
36 अब तेरी समझ में जो डाकुओं में घिर गया था, इन तीनों में से उसका पड़ोसी कौन ठहरा?
37 उस ने कहा, वही जिस ने उस पर तरस खाया: यीशु ने उस से कहा, जा, तू भी ऐसा ही कर॥
38 फिर जब वे जा रहे थे, तो वह एक गांव में गया, और मार्था नाम एक स्त्री ने उसे अपने घर में उतारा।
39 और मरियम नाम उस की एक बहिन थी; वह प्रभु के पांवों के पास बैठकर उसका वचन सुनती थी।
40 पर मार्था सेवा करते करते घबरा गई और उसके पास आकर कहने लगी; हे प्रभु, क्या तुझे कुछ भी सोच नहीं कि मेरी बहिन ने मुझे सेवा करने के लिये अकेली ही छोड़ दिया है? सो उस से कह, कि मेरी सहायता करे।
41 प्रभु ने उसे उत्तर दिया, मार्था, हे मार्था; तू बहुत बातों के लिये चिन्ता करती और घबराती है।
42 परन्तु एक बात अवश्य है, और उस उत्तम भाग को मरियम ने चुन लिया है: जो उस से छीना न जाएगा॥
1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
