Matthew 9
1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
Mme Jesu a palama mokoro a kgabaganya lecha a ya Kaperanama, motse wa ga gabo.
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
Ka bofefo banna bangwe ba lere kwa go ene mosimane yo o teteselang a le mo phateng. Erile fa Jesu a bona tumelo ya bone a raya mosimane yo o teteselang a re, “Nametsega ngwana, gonne ke go itshwaretse dibe!”
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
Mme bangwe ba baeteledipele ba tumelo ba gowa ba re, “O a tlhapatsa, Monna yo a re ke Modimo!”
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Jesu o ne a itse se ba neng ba se akanya mme a re, “Ke eng fa lo akanya megopolo e e maswe jaana?
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
A go thata go itshwarela dibe tsa gagwe go na le go mo fodisa?
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
Mme jalo he, go supa gore ke na le thata fano mo lefatshing go itshwarela dibe.” Jalo a retologela kwa mosimaneng yo o teteselang a mo raya a re, “Tsoga o phuthe phate ya gago o ye lwapeng.”
7 He arose and departed to his house.
Mme mosimane a nanoga a tsamaya!
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Poifo e kgolo ya wela bontsintsi jwa batho fa ba bona se se diragala fa pele ga matlho a bone. Ba galaletsa Modimo thata ka go naya motho thata e e ntseng jalo.
9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
Fa Jesu a tsamaya mo phologelong ya tsela, a bona mokgethisi Mathaio, a ntse fa go kgethisediwang teng, mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Tla o nne morutwa wa me.”
10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
Morago, fa Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba a ja dijo kwa tlung ya ga Mathaio, ga bo go le batsietsi ba le bantsi e le balalediwa ba ba itsegeng ka mekgwa e e maswe.
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Mme Bafarasai ba kgotswa ba re, “Ke eng fa moruti wa lona a dirisanya le batho ba ba ntseng jaana.”
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ka gore ba ba itekanetseng ga ba tlhoke ngaka, ba ke ba ba e tlhokang!”
13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Mme a oketsa a re, “Tsamayang lo ithute tlhaloso ya temana ya Lokwalo, ‘Ga se ditlhabelo tsa lona le dimpho tsa lona tse ke tshwenyegang ka tsone, ke batla gore lo nne le kutlwelobotlhoko’. Tiro ya me fano mo lefatshing ke go busetsa badiradibe mo Modimong e seng go tshwenyega ka batho ba ba siameng.”
14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?”
Letsatsi lengwe barutwa ba ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi ba tla kwa go Jesu ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke eng fa barutwa ba gago ba sa ikitse go ja dijo jaaka rona le Bafarasai re dira?”
15 Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “A ditsala tsa monyadi di tshwanetse go hutsafala, di ikitsa dijo fa a sa ntse a na le tsone? Mme nako e tlaa tla fa ke tlaa tlosiwang mo go tsone. Mme ke gone ba tlaa nnang le nako e ntsi go ikitsa dijo.
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
“Mme ke mang yo o ka bitiyang seaparo se segologolo ka letsela le lesha? Ka gore sebata se ka gagola sa dira leroba le legolo go gaisa pele.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
“Mme emang yo o ka dirisang makuka a magologolo a mofine go tshela mofine o mosha? Gonne a magologolo a ka phanngwa ke go hupela, mme mofine, o tshologe, makuka a senyege. Ke makuka a masha fela a a dirisiwang go tshela mofine o mosha.”
18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
Ya re a sa ntse a bua jaana, moruti wa ntlo ya thuto a tla a mo obamela a re, “Morwadiake yo mmotlana o sule, mme o ka mo rudisa fa o ka tla wa mo ama.”
19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
Ya re Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba sa ntse ba ya kwa lwapeng lwa moruti
20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
mosadi yo o sa bolong go lwala bolwetse jwa tshologo ya madi mo teng ka dingwaga di le lesome le metso e le mebedi a tla a mo setse morago mme a ama momeno wa seaparo sa gagwe.
21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
Gonne o na a akantse gore, “Fela fa nka mo ama ke tlaa fola.”
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
Jesu a retologa a bua nae a re, “Morweetsana, gotlhe go siame! Tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse.” Mme mosadi a fola ka yone nako eo.
23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
Erile fa Jesu a goroga kwa lwapeng lwa ga Moruti, a bona bontsintsi jwa batho bo tsositse modumo mme a utlwa le moopelo wa phitlho,
24 he said to them, “Make room, because the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
A re, “Ba ntshetseng kwa ntle, gonne morweetsana ga a swa; o robetse fela!” Mme ba ne ba mo tshega ka tshotlo le ka go mo nyatsa!
25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
Ya re fa bontsi jwa batho bo sena go tswela kwa ntle, Jesu a tsena mo teng kwa go neng go namaletse morweetsana mme a mo tshwara ka seatla, mme a nanoga a itekanetse sentle gape.
26 The report of this went out into all that land.
Mme pego ya kgakgamatso e e gakgamatsang e ya tlala mo lefatshing lotlhe.
27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
Ya re fa Jesu a tswa mo lwapeng lwa morweetsana, banna ba le babedi ba difofu ba mo sala morago ba goa ba re, “Ao Morwa Kgosi Dafide, re utlwele botlhoko.”
28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
Ba tsena mo tlung kwa a neng a nna teng, Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “A lo dumela fa ke nonofile go lo foufolola?” Ba re, “Morena, re a dumela.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Hong a ama matlho a bone mme a re “Ka ntlha ya tumelo ya lona go tlaa diragala!”
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
Mme ka tshoganetso ba foufologa! Jesu a ba laya gore ba seka ba itsise ope kaga selo seo,
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
mme mo boemong jwa go dira jalo ba anamisa tumo ya gagwe gongwe le gongwe mo motsing.
32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
Erile Jesu a tswa mo lefelong leo, a rakana le monna wa semumu yo o neng a sa kgone go bua ka ntlha ya mowa o o maswe o o neng o le mo go ene.
33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
Hong Jesu a kgoromeletsa mowa o o maswe kwa ntle, mme gone fela foo monna a simolola go bua. Bontsi jwa batho jwa gakgamala thata ba re, “Ga go ise nke go diragale mo matshelong a rona go bona se se tshwanang le se.”
34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
Mme Bafarasai ba re, lebaka le a nonofileng go kgoromeletsa ntle mewa e e maswe ke gore ene ka bo ene o tsenywe ke mewa e e maswe. O tsenywe ke Satane Kgosi ya mewa e e maswe.
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Jesu o na a tsamaya mo tikologong yotlhe mo magaeng a lefatshe leo, a ruta mo matlung a thuto ya Sejuda a anamisa Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Bogosi. Mme gongwe le gongwe kwa a neng a ya teng o na a fodisa batho mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa bolwetse.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
Mme o na a na le kutlwelo botlhoko thata mo bontsintsing jwa batho jo bo neng bo tla; ka gore matshwenyego a bone a ne a le matona thata mme ba sa itse se ba ka se dirang kgotsa kwa ba neng ba ka ya teng go bona thuso. Ba ne ba tshwana le dinku tse di senang modisa.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Mme a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re “Thobo e kgolo thata mme barobi ba ba botlana thata.
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
Jalo he, rapelang yo a leng motlhokomedi wa thobo, lo mo kope go thapa barobi ba bangwe ba masimo a gagwe.”
