Matthew 19
1 When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Mme e rile Jesu a sena go fetsa mafoko a, a tswa mo Galalea a boela kwa morago kwa Judea go kgabaganya Noka ya Jorodane.
2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
Boidiidi jwa batho jwa mo sala morago, mme a fodisa malwetse a bone.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
Bafarasai bangwe ba tla go buisanya nae, gape ba leka go mmeela seru gore a bue sengwe se se tlaa mo senyang. Ba mmotsa ba re, “A o letlelela tlhalo?”
4 He answered, “Have not you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Jesu a ba fetola a re, “A ga lo bale dikwalo? Mo go tsone go kwadilwe gore mo tshimologong Modimo o tlhodile monna le mosadi,
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
gore monna o tlaa tlogela rraagwe le mmaagwe mme a ngaparele mosadi wa gagwe. Mme bobedi jo bo tlaa nna bongwe fela, e sa tlhole e le bobedi, mme ele bongwe fela! a go se nne ope yo o kgaoganyang se Modimo o se kopantseng”.
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man tear apart.”
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
Ba botsa ba re, “Jaanong Moshe o ne a raya jang fa a re monna o ka tlhala mosadi wa gagwe ka go mo kwalela lokwalo lwa tlhalo fela?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Moshe o dirile jalo ka ntlha ya go bona dipelo tsa lona tse di thata tse di bosula, mme tota e ne e se se Modimo o simolotseng o se ikaeletse.
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
Mme ke lo bolelela se, ka re, le fa e le mang yo o tlhalang mosadi wa gagwe, fa e se fela ka kgokafalo, a bo a nyala yo mongwe, o dira kgoka falo.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
Barutwa ba ga Jesu ba mo raya ba re, “Fa e le gore go ntse jalo go botoka go sa nyaleng.”
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
Jesu a fetola a re, “Ga se mongwe le mongwe yo o ka amogelang mafoko a, fa e se fela ka thuso ya Modimo.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Banna bangwe ba tsetswe e le baopa, ba bangwe ba opafaditswe ke batho, gore ba seka ba nyala, ba bangwe ba ikgapa mo nyalong ka ntlha ya Bogosi jwa Legodimo. A yo o kgonag, a amogele mafoko a me.”
13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
Mme ga tlisiwa bana ba bannye kwa go Jesu gore a ba beye diatla a ba rapelele. Mme barutwa ba kgalemela ba ba neng ba tlisitse bana. Ba ba raya ba re, “Se mo tshwenyeng.”
14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
Jesu a re, “Lesang banyana ba tle kwa go nna, se ba kganeleng. Gonne bogosi jwa Legodimo ke jwa ba ba ntseng jalo.”
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
Foo a ba baya diatla a ba segofatsa pele ga a tsamaya.
16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have consummate (aiōnios g166) life?"
Mme mongwe a tla kwa go Jesu ka potso e e reng: “Morena yo o Molemo ke ka dira eng se se siameng go nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng?” (aiōnios g166)
17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Jesu a mo raya a re fa o re, “Ke molemo o raya Modimo. Mme go araba potso ya gago ka re, o ka tsena kwa legodimong fa o tshegetsa ditaolo.”
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
Mme monna a mmotsa a re, “Ditaolo dife?” Mme Jesu a fetola a re “O seka wa bolaya motho, o seka wa dira boaka, o seka wa utswa, o seka wa bua maaka,
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
tlotla rrago le mmago, gape o rate mongwe ka wena jaaka o ithata!”
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
Mme lekawana la fetola la re, “Ke sa le ke e tshegetsa yotlhe fela, ke tshwanetse go dirang gape?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Fa o batla go itekanela, ya o rekise sengwe le sengwe se o nang naso o neele bahumanegi madi, mme o tlaa nna le khumo kwa legodimong; mme o tle o ntshale morago.”
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
Mme e rile fa lekau le utlwa jaana, la tsamaya le nyemile moko ka bohutsana, ka gore le ne le humile thata.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
Hong a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Ruri go thata mo mohuming go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Mme ke ipoeletsa gape ke re, go motlhofo mo kammeleng go tsena ka leroba la nnale go na le gore mohumi a tsene mo Bogosing jwa Modimo.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
Polelo e ya gakgamatsa barutwa. Mme ba botsa ba re, “Mme fa go ntse jalo, ke mang yo o ka bolokwang mo lefatshing?”
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Hong Jesu a ba leba ka kelotlhoko a re, “Ka fa senameng ga go na ope.”
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
Hong Petere a mo raya a re, “Re tlogetse sengwe le sengwe gore re go sale morago. Re tlaa boelwa ke eng ka go dira jalo?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesu a fetola a re, “E tlaa re nna, Morwa Motho, fa ke nna mo setilong se se galalelang sa Bogosi, lona barutwa ba me lo tlaa nna mo ditilong di le lesome le bobedi tsa puso go atlhola merafe e le lesome le bobedi ya Iseraele.
29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
Mme le fa e le mang yo a tlogelang motse wa gagwe, bomonnawe, bokgaitsadie, rraagwe, mmaagwe, mosadi wa gagwe, bana kgotsa dilwana go ntshala morago, o tlaa amogela galekgolo go menaganye, ebile o tlaa nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
Mme ba le bantsi ba e leng ba ntlha jaanong e tlaa nna ba morago ka nako eo: le bangwe ba e leng ba bofelo jaanong e tlaa nna ba ntlha.”
