MATEO 10

Jesusek hamabi apostoluak izendatu

(Mk 3,13-19; Lk 6,12-16)

1 Jesusek, bere hamabi ikasleei dei eginik, ahalmena eman zien espiritu gaiztoakt botatzeko eta gaitz eta eritasun guztiak sendatzeko.t
2 Hona hemen hamabi apostoluen izenak: lehenbizi Simon -Pedro deritzana- eta haren anaia Andres; Santiago Zebedeorena eta haren anaia Joan;t 3 Felipe eta Bartolome; Tomas eta Mateo, zergalaria; Santiago Alfeorena eta Tadeo;

4 Simon Zelote eta Judas Iskariotet, Jesus saldu zuena.

Jesusek Hamabiak bidali

(Mk 6,7-13; Lk 9,1-6)

8 Senda itzazue gaixoak, piztu hildakoak, garbitu legendunak, bota deabruak. Doan hartu duzue, eman doan.
9 «Ez eraman urrerik, ez zilarrik, ez dirurik gerrikoan,

10 ez zakutorik biderako, ez soinekorik aldatzeko, ez oinetakorik, ezta makilarik ere, zor baitzaio langileari behar duen janaria.t

11 «Edozein herri edo auzotara iristen zaretela, jakizue ba ote den konfiantzako inor zuek etxean hartzeko, eta geldi zaitezte harenean herri hartatik atera arte.
12 «Etxe batean sartzean, esan: «Bakea zuekin»;

13 etxekoak duin badira, hel bekie zuen bakea; duin ez badira, berriz, gal bedi hutsean zuen agurrat.
14 «Onartzen ez bazaituztetet eta zuen mezua entzun nahi ez, etxe edo herri hartatik ateratzean, astindu zeuen oinetako hautsat.

15 Benetan diotsuet: Auzi-egunean, Sodomak eta Gomorrak zigor bigunagoa izango dute herri hark baino.t

Erasoaldiak izango

(Mk 13,9-13; Lk 21,12-17)

16 «Hara, ardiak otso artera bezala bidaltzen zaituztet. Izan zaitezte, bada, sugeak bezain zuhur eta usoak bezain xalo.t
17 «Kontuz jendearekin! Auzitegit eta sinagogetara eramango zaituztete eta zigortu egingo; 18 agintari eta erregeen aurrera eramango zaituztete niregatik, eta aitorpen egingo duzue haien eta jentilen aurrean. 19 Eramango zaituztetenean, ez egon zer eta nola esango duzuen kezkatan: une hartan bertan adieraziko dizue Jainkoak zer esan;t

20 ez zarete zuek mintzatuko, zuen Aitaren Espiritua mintzatuko da zuen bidez.t
21 «Anaiak anaia emango du heriotzara, eta aitak semea; seme-alabak gurasoen kontra altxatuko dira eta hil egingo dituzte. 22 Mundu guztiak gorroto izango dizue niregatik; baina azkeneraino sendo irauten duena, horixe izango da salbatua.t

23 Herri batean pertsegitzen bazaituztete, egin ihes beste batera. Benetan diotsuet: Gizonaren Semea etorri aurretik, ez dituzue Israelgo herri guztiak igaroko.t
24 «Ikaslea ez da irakaslea baino gehiago, ezta morroia ere nagusia baino gehiago.t

25 Aski du ikasleak irakaslea adina izatea, eta morroiak nagusia adina. Etxejaunari Beeltzebul esan badiote, zer ez ote esango haren etxekoei?t

Nori izan beldur

(Mk 8,38; Lk 12,2-9)

28 Ez izan beldurrik gorputza hil bai, baina bizia hondatu ezin dutenei; izan beldur, gorputza ez ezik, pertsona osoa infernuan honda dezakeenari.t
29 «Ez ote dira bi txori sos batean saltzen? Hala ere, ez da bat bakarra ere lurrera erortzen zuen Aitaren baimenik gabe. 30 Zuen buruko ileak ere denak zenbatuak dauzka Jainkoak.

31 Ez izan, bada, beldur: zuek txori guztiek baino gehiago balio duzue.
32 «Jendearen aurrean aitortzen nauena aitortuko dut nik ere Aita zerukoaren aurrean;t

33 baina jendearen aurrean ukatzen nauena ukatu egingo dut nik ere zeruko Aitaren aurrean.t

Jesusek banaketa sortu

(Lk 12,51-53; 14,26-27)

36 Eta nork bere etxekoak izango ditu etsai.
37 «Aita nahiz ama ni baino maiteago duena ez da niretzat gai; semea nahiz alaba ni baino maiteago duena ez da niretzat gai. 38 Bere gurutzea hartu eta jarraitzen ez didana ez da niretzat gai.t

39 Bere biziaren jabe izan nahian dabilenak galdu egingo du; bere bizia niregatik galtzen duenak, ordea, eskuratu egingo du.t

«Zuek onartzen zaituztenak neu onartzen nau»

(Mk 9,41)

Matthew 10

Sending Out the Twelve Apostles

1 Jesust called his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spiritss so they could cast them out and heal every kind of disease and sickness.t2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles:s first, Simons (called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee and John his brother;3 Philip and Bartholomew;s Thomass and Matthew the tax collector;s James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;s

4 Simon the Zealott and Judas Iscariot,s who betrayed him.t
5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows:t “Do not go to Gentile regionst and do not enter any Samaritan town.t6 Got instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near!’8 Heal the sick, raise the dead,s cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.9 Do not take gold, silver, or copper in your belts,10 no bagt for the journey, or an extra tunic,t or sandals or staff,s for the worker deserves his provisions.11 Whenevert you enter a town or village,t find out who is worthy theret and stay with themts until you leave.12 As you enter the house, give it greetings.t13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.s14 And if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your message, shake the dust offs your feet as you leave that house or that town.

15 I tell you the truth,t it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrahs on the day of judgment than for that town!

Persecution of Disciples

16 “It am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves,s so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.17 Bewaret of people, because they will hand you over to councilss and flogt you in their synagogues.s18 And you will be brought before governors and kingss because of me, as a witness to them and the Gentiles.19 Whenevert they hand you over for trial, do not worry about how to speak or what to say,t for what you should say will be given to you at that time.t

20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 “Brothert will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise againstt parents and have them put to death.22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

23 Whenevert they persecute you in one place,t flee to another. I tell you the truth,t you will not finish going through all the townst of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a slavet greater than his master.

25 It is enough for the disciple to become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house ‘Beelzebul,’ how much more will they defame the members of his household!

Fear God, Not Man

26 “Dot not be afraid of them, for nothing is hiddent that will not be revealed,s and nothing is secret that will not be made known.27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear,t proclaim from the housetops.t28 Dot not be afraid of those who kill the bodys but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.s29 Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny?s Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.t30 Even all the hairs on your head are numbered.

31 So do not be afraid;s you are more valuable than many sparrows.
32 “Whoever, then, acknowledgest me before people, I will acknowledgets before my Father in heaven.

33 But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.

Not Peace, but a Sword

34 “Do not think that I have come to bringt peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.35 For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.t
37 “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.38 And whoever does not take up his crosss and follow me is not worthy of me.

39 Whoever finds his lifet will lose it,s and whoever loses his life because of met will find it.

Rewards

40 “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.s41 Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. Whoevert receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.

42 And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, I tell you the truth,t he will never lose his reward.”
