< Luke 13 >

1 Now some were present at the same time who informed him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
Mme ya re ka lone lobaka lo a itsisiwe fa Pilatwe a bolaile Bajuta bangwe ba ba neng ba tswa kwa Galalea fa ba ntsha ditlhabelo kwa Tempeleng mo Jerusalema.
2 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Do ye suppose that these Galileans became sinful above all the Galileans because they have suffered such things?
Mme a ba botsa a re, “A lo akanya gore e ne e le baleofi ba bagolo go feta batho botlhe ba ba tswang Galalea? A ke gone ka fa ba sotlegileng ka gone?
3 I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all perish similarly.
Ga go a nna jalo! A ga lo lemoge gore le lona lo tlaa nyelela fa lo sa tlogele ditsela tsa lona tse di bosula lwa sokologela mo Modimong?
4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them. Do ye think that these became debtors above all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
“Mme lwa reng kaga batho ba ba lesome le bofera-bobedi ba ba neng ba a swa fa kago e e godileng ya Siloama e ba wela. A e ne e le baleofi ba bagolo mo Jerusalema?
5 I tell you, no, but if ye do not repent, ye will all likewise perish.
Ga go a nna jalo! Mme le lona lo tlaa nyelela fa lo sa ikwatlhae.”
6 And he spoke this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
Hong a dirisa setshwantsho se: “Monna mongwe o kile a tlhoma setlhare sa mofeige mo tshimong mme a tla gangwe le gape go tlhola gore a ga a ka ke a bona loungo lope mo go sone, mme o ne a aga a sa fitlhele sepe.
7 And he said to the vine workman, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down, why also waste the ground?
Mme ya re kwa bofelong a raya motlhokomedi wa tshimo ya gagwe a re a se reme. A mo raya a re, ‘Ke letile dingwaga di le tharo ga go ise nke go nne le fa e le feige e le nngwe! Ke eng fa o se ngongoregela? se tsere phatlha e re ka bong re e dirisetsa sengwe gape.’
8 And having answered, he says to him, Sir, allow it this year also until I may dig around it and cast manure.
“Mme motlhokomedi wa tshimo a araba a re, ‘Se neye lobaka lo longwe gape. Se lese ngwaga e le nngwe, ke tlaa se tlhokomela ka go se tshela monontshane.
9 Although surely it should bear fruit, and if not, in the coming year thou will cut it down.
Fa re ka bona difeige ngwaga e e tlang go siame, mme fa go sa nne jalo ke tlaa se rema.’”
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
Mme ka Sabata mongwe ya re a ruta mo senagogeng,
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bent over, and not being able to straighten up completely.
ga bo go na le sekoa sa mosadi yo o neng a obegile selekanyo sa dingwaga di le lesome le boferabobedi mme a sa kgone go itlhamalatsa.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called out, and said to her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity.
Mme Jesu a mmitsa a re, “Mosadi o fodisitswe mo bolwetseng jwa gago!”
13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
A mo ama mme a akofa a inamologa. Hong mosadi a leboga a ba a galaletsa Modimo!
14 And having responded, the synagogue-ruler, being indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which he ought to work. Therefore coming in these, be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.
Mme motlhokomedi wa ntlo ya thuto ya Sejuta a gakala thata ka gonne Jesu o ne a fodisitse mosadi yoo ka letsatsi la Sabata. A goa a raya batho a re, “Go na le malatsi a le marataro mo bekeng a go dirwang ka one, ao ke one malatsi a go ka fodisiwang ka one eseng go le Sabata!”
15 But the Lord therefore answered him and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and after leading away, give to drink?
Mme Morena a mo fetola a re, “Moitimokanyi ke wena! O dira go le Sabata! A ga o ko o golola dikgomo tsa gago mo marakeng a tsone go le Sabata o di kgweeletsa kwa metsing.
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?
Jaanong a go phoso mo go nna, fela ka ntlha ya gore e re ka letsatsi la Sabata ke golole mosadi yo wa Mojuta mo bokgobeng jwa ga Satane selekanyo sa dingwaga di le lesome le boferabobedi?”
17 And as he said these things all those opposing him were shamed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Mo ga tlhabisa baba ba gagwe ditlhong. Mme batho botlhe ba itumelela tiro e ntle e o e dirileng.
18 And he said, What is the kingdom of God like, and to what will I compare it?
Jaanong a simolola go ba ruta kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo; A ba botsa a re, “Bogosi jwa Modimo bo ka tshwantshiwa le eng? Ke ka bo tshwantsha le eng?
19 It is like a grain of a mustard plant, which having taken, a man cast into his own garden. And it grew and developed into a great tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches if it.
Bo tshwana le peo e nnye ya mosetara e e jetsweng mo tshimong; ya akofa ya gola ya tswa setlhare, mme dinonyane tsa nna mo gare ga dikala tsa sone.
20 And again he said, To what will I compare the kingdom of God?
Bo tshwana le sebediso se se dubetsweng mo boupeng, se se dirang se sa bonwe go fitlhelela boupe bo gogomoga bo bo bo nna motlhofo.”
21 It is like leaven that a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
22 And he went through by cities and villages, teaching, and making a journey toward Jerusalem.
Hong a tsamaya metse le metsana, a ruta fa a ntse a tsamaela kwa Jerusalema.
23 And a certain man said to him, Lord, are they few who are being saved? And he said to them,
Mongwe a mmotsa a re, “A go tlaa bolokwa ba se kae fela?” Mme a mo fetola a re,
24 Compete to enter in by the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
“Kgoro e e yang legodimong e tshesane. Lekang thata go tsena mo go yone, gonne boammaaruri ke gore ba le bantsi ba tlaa leka go tsena mme fa mong wa ntlo a setse a tswetse kgoro, nako e tlaa bo e setse e fetile. Mme e tlaa re fa lo eme kwa ntle lo kokota lo re, ‘Morena re bulele,’ o tlaa fetola a re, ‘Ga ke lo itse’. Hong lo tlaa re,
25 From the time the house-ruler has risen up, and has closed the door, and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and having answered, he will say to you, I know not where ye are from,
26 then ye will begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou taught in our thoroughfares.
“Mme re jele le wena ebile o rutile mo mebileng ya rona.”
27 And he will say, I tell you, I know not where ye are from. Depart from me, all ye workmen of unrighteousness.
“Mme o tlaa fetola a re, ‘Ke a lo bolelela, ga ke lo itse. Ga lo ka ke lwa tla fa lo le molato jaana. Tsamayang.’
28 There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you being thrust out.
“Mme go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno fa lo eme kwa ntle lo bona Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe le baporofiti botlhe mo Bogosing jwa Modimo,
29 And they will arrive from the east and west, and from the north and south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.
gonne batho ba tlaa tswa ntlheng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe go tla go tsaya manno a bone.
30 And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
Mme tlhokomelang se: Ba ba nyatsegang gompieno ba tlaa tlotlwa thata, ba ba tseetsweng kwa godimo gompieno ba tlaa ngotlafadiwa.”
31 In the same day some Pharisees came, saying to him, Get thee out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill thee.
Mme ya re morago ga metsotso e se kae Bafarasai bangwe ba mo raya ba re, “Tloga fano fa o batla go tshela, gonne Kgosi Herode o go tsomile!”
32 And he said to them, Having gone, say to this fox, Behold, I cast out demons and finish cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am fully perfected.
Jesu a ba fetola a re, “Tsamayang lo reye phokoje yoo lo re ke tlaa tswelela ke ntshetsa mewa e e maswe ntle, ke dira dikgakgamatso tsa phodiso gompieno le ka moso; mme ka letsatsi la boraro ke tlaa fitlha kwa ke yang teng.
33 Nevertheless it is necessary for me to go today and tomorrow and the following, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
Ee, gompieno, ka moso le ka letsatsi le le latelang! Gonne ga go ka ke ga direga gore moporofiti wa Modimo a bolawe ka kwa ntle ga Jerusalema!
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather thy children together as a hen does her brood under her wings, and ye would not.
“Jerusalema wee! Jerusalema! Motse o o bolayang baporofiti. Motse o o kgobotletsang ka maje ba ba rometsweng go o thusa. Ke ratile gantsi jang go phutha bana ba gago jaaka koko e e sireletsang dikokwana tsa yone ka fa diphukeng, mme ga o aka wa ntetla.
35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And I say to you, that ye will, no, not see me, until it will come when ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Mme jaanong, ntlo ya gago e tlogetswe e le letlotla. Ga o kitla o mpona gape go fitlhelela o re, ‘A go bakwa yo o tlang mo leineng la Morena.’”
