Luke uses this phrase to mark a new event in the story. If your language has a similar expression that it uses for this same purpose, you could use that here.
ὁ Κύριος
the Lord
Here Luke refers to Jesus by the title the Lord to show his authority. Alternate translation: [the Lord Jesus]

See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the General Notes to this chapter to decide whether to say 72 or “70” in your translation.

Here, face means the front of a person. Alternate translation: [ahead of him] or [to prepare the way for him]
10:1-20 The Lord now chose seventy-two: The mission of the Twelve (9:1-6) represented Jesus’ ministry to Israel; this mission represented his outreach to the Gentiles. The number 72 represents the nations of the world. Genesis 10 lists 70 nations in the Hebrew text, but the Septuagint—the Greek Old Testament—lists 72. Luke, who used the Septuagint, probably wrote 72, and then a later scribe “corrected” the text to agree with the Hebrew. The point is that the Good News is for both Jews and Gentiles.

OET (OET-RV) After all this, the master appointed seventy-two others and he sent them out in pairs to go ahead of him to every town and village that he would pass through.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
