Spoken to:
After Jesus appoints the seventy and is sending them out.
KJV:
Luke 10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
NIV :
Luke 10:10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,
LISTENERS HEARD:
Into, however, whatever city, you enter and they don't welcome you, going out those broadways of it, say:
MY TAKE:
Even if we are rejected, we have a duty to speak.

LOST IN TRANSLATION:
The word translated as "go your ways out" means literally "to go or come out," "exceed all bounds", but it has a secondary meaning of "making something come true" a little like we say "going all out." In the welcoming city, they eat and tend to their sick. Here, they are just to leave, but also leave a message."Says" means "to say" and "to speak" also. However, it has less a sense of teaching and more a sense of addressing and proclaiming. It is in the form of a command.

EACH WORD of KJV :
But -- The Greek word translated as "but" means "but," "however," and "on the other hand." It joins phrases in an adversarial way. Since it always falls in the second position, translating it as "however" often captures its feeling better.

whatsoever -- "Whatever" is from a special construction connecting a pronoun with a conditional particle, meaning "whatever" or "whoever." Together, they begin a relative, conditional clause that refers to each individual person or thing. The verb form required in Greek is one of possibilities that need not be translated in English.

COMPARISON: GREEK to KJV :
εἰς [325 verses](prep) "Into" is eis, which means "into (of place)," "up to (of time)," "until (of time)," "in" (a position), "as much as (of measure or limit)," "as far as (of measure or limit)," "towards (to express relation)," "in regard to (to express relation)," "of an end or limit," and "for (of purpose or object)."
ἣν [36 verses](pron sg masc nom)(partic) "Whatever" is a special construction, hos an, the an is below, after the conjunction) that means "that possibly." "whoever" "whatever," or "who if any." It combines the relative pronoun (hos) or the demonstrative pronoun (hostis) with the particle of possibility (an). The literal sense is "this one might." Together, they begin a relative, conditional clause that refers to each individual. If takes a subjective verb like an "if/when" phrase. -- "Whoever" is from a special construction connecting a pronoun with a conditional particle, meaning "whatever" or "whoever." Together, they begin a relative, conditional clause that refers to each individual person or thing. The verb form required in Greek is one of possibilities that need not be translated in English.
δ᾽ [446 verses](conj) "But" is de which means "but" and "on the other hand." It is the particle that joins sentences in an adversarial way but can also be an explanation of indirect cause ("so"). In an "if" (εἰ ) clause or temporal "when" (ὅταν) clause the sense is "if/when... then." In a series begun by men, its means "on the other hand." In a listing, the sense is "then" or "yet." After an interruption, "so then." It can also be an explanation of cause ("so"). When used with a conditional starting a clause, the sense is "if/when...then." When used with a particle meaning "indeed" the sense is "on one hand...on the other hand." In a listing, the sense is "then" or "yet." After an interruption, "so then."
ἂν (particle) This completes the construction above, before the conjunction.
εἰσέρχησθε [68 verses](verb 2nd pl pres subj mp) "Ye enter"is eiserchomai which means both "to go into," "to come in," "to enter," "to enter an office," "to enter a charge," (as in court) and "to come into one's mind."
καὶ [1089 verses](conj/adv) "And" is kai, which is the conjunction joining phrases and clauses, "and," or "also." After words implying sameness, "as" (the same opinion as you). Used in series, joins positive with negative "Not only...but also." Also used to give emphasis, "even," "also," and "just."
μὴ [447 verses](conj) "Not" is me , which is the negative used in prohibitions and expressions of doubt meaning "not" and "no." The negative, μή, rejects, is relative, and subjective. It is used with verbs of subjective action: thinking, feeling, seeing, etc. It is used in imperative and subjunctive clauses because both express opinions. With pres. or aor. subjunctive, it is used in a warning or statement of fear, "take care." The combination of ἵνα μή means "lest." The combination of ὅτι μή, means "except." Used before tis with an imperative to express a will or wish for something in independent sentences and, with subjunctives, to express prohibitions. It is used with infinitives that express a purpose. When used with verbs of physical action, its sense is that "not wanting" or "thinking" something, not that it isn't done or thought. With these verbs, the sense is rejecting the action, rather than simply not doing it. With the verb "to be," the sense is "doesn't seem." When a negative precedes the verb, it affects the whole clause. When it precedes other words, its force is limited to those words. Used with an imperative to express a will or wish. Used in negative conditional "when/if/whoever" clauses. With "have," the sense is "lacks" or "wants."
δέχωνται [18 verses](verb 3rd pl pres subj mp) "They receive" is dechomai, which means "welcome," "accept," and "entertain" when applied to people and "take," "accept," and "receive" when applied to things.
ὑμᾶς [210 verses](pron 2nd pl acc) "You" is humas which is the plural objective form of the second-person pronoun, "you." As the object of a preposition, an accusative object indicates movement towards something or a position reached as a result of that movement.
ἐξελθόντεςεἰς [54 verses] (part pl aor act masc nom) "Go your ways out" is exerchomai, which means "to come or go out of " "to march forth," "go out on," "to stand forth," "to exceed all bounds," "to come to an end," "to go out of office," and [of dreams or prophecies] "to come true."
τὰς [821 verses](article pl fem acc) "The" is the Greek definite article, hos, ("the"). It usually precedes a noun or changes the word it precedes (adjective, infinitive, participle, etc.) to act like a noun. When not preceding a a word that can become a noun, takes the meaning of "the one" or, in the plural, "the ones." Proper nouns do normally not take articles but they are needed when the noun ending cannot be changed to show the noun's role in the sentence as an object, indirect object, or genitive (possessive) form. However, the Greek article is very close to "this" so the purpose of an article like this can also be demonstrative.There is no vocative definite article, (despite being shown in Perseus). When the vocative is meant, no article is used or they used ω or ε. See this article.
πλατείας [4 verses](noun pl fem acc) "Streets" is plateia, which is an adjective that means "wide", "broad", "over a wide area", "broad shouldered [of a man]", "far advanced [of seasons]", "strong [oath]", "widespread", "flat of the hand", "frequent," and "street." -
αὐτῆς [29 verses](pro/adj sg fem gen) "The same" is autes, which means is the singular adjective used as the genitive pronoun, which is used as a possessive form or the object of prepositions and sometimes verbs. Though the form is feminine, it refers to feminine words, not people. When used as a noun, it is preceded by a definite article, and it means "the same."This form is often used as the object of a preposition. A genitive object means a movement away from something or a position away from something else. The time sense of a genitive object is that the event occurred within a specified time.
εἴπατε [162 verses](verb 2nd pl aor imperat act) "Say" is eipon, which means "to speak," "to say," "to recite," "to address," "to mention," "to name," "to proclaim," "to plead," "to promise," and "to offer." This is the second most common word Jesus uses for this idea. The other word is used more for discussion. Perhaps translating it consistently as "tell" would work.
