69:1
Luc. x. 38-42. Factum est autem dum irent, et ipse Jesus intravit in quoddam castellum: et mulier quaedam Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam. Et huic erat soror nomine Maria; quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini Jesu, audiebat verbum illius. Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium. Quae stetit et ait: Domine, non est tibi curae quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? dic ergo illi ut me adjuvet. Et respondens dixit illi Dominus: Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima. Porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea.
他們走路的時候,耶穌進了一個村莊。有一個女人,名叫馬大,接祂到自己家裡。她有一個妹子,名叫馬利亞,也坐在主耶穌腳前聽祂的道。馬大伺候的事多,心裡忙亂,就站著說:「主啊,我的妹子留下我一個人伺候,你不在意嗎?請吩咐她來幫助我。」主回答說:「馬大,馬大,你為許多的事思慮煩擾,但是不可少的只有一件。馬利亞已經選擇那上好的福分,是不能奪去的。」
Now it came to pass, as they went, that Jesus Himself entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also, sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus, heard His word. But Martha was busy about much serving; and she stood and said: 'Lord, hast Thou no care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.' And the Lord answering said to her: 'Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things. But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best part, which shall not be taken from her.'
