Luke 12
1 In the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to say vnto his disciples first, Take heede to your selues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrisie.
Mme ya re ka lobakanya na loo bontsintsi jwa batho jwa ntsifala go fitlhelela ba nna diketekete ba bo ba hereetsega ba gatakana. Mme Jesu a retologela kwa barutweng ba gagwe a ba tlhagisa a re, “Mo godimo ga dilo tsotlhe, lo itlhokomeleng mo Bafarasaing ba, le ka mokgwa o ba ipayang jaaka ba siame mme ba sa siama. Mme boitimokanyi jo bo kana ga bo ka ke jwa fitlhegela ruri.
2 For there is nothing couered, that shall not bee reueiled: neither hidde, that shall not be knowen.
Bo tlaa nna sesupo jaaka sebediso mo boping jo bo dubilweng.
3 Wherefore whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, it shall be heard in the light: and that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secret places, shall be preached on the houses.
Sengwe le sengwe se ba se buetseng mo lefifing se tlaa utlwiwa mo pontsheng, le se lo se sebetseng mo matlung a a kwa teng se tlaa anamisiwa mo ditlhoeng tsa matlo gore botlhe ba utlwe!
4 And I say vnto you, my friendes, be not afraide of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to doe any more.
“Ditsala tse di rategang, lo se ka lwa boifa ba, ba ba batlang go lo bolaya. Ka gore ba ka bolaya mmele fela mme ga ba na nonofo mo meweng ya lona.
5 But I wil forewarne you, who ye shall feare: feare him which after hee hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: yea, I say vnto you, him feare. (Geenna g1067)
Mme ke lo bolelela yo lo tshwanetseng go mmoifa, boifang Modimo o o nang le nonofo ya go bolaya le go latlhela mo moleteng. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not fiue sparowes bought for two farthings, and yet not one of them is forgotten before God?
“Tlhwatlhwa ya dithaga tse tlhano ke bokae? A ke dithebe di se kae e seng go feta moo? Le fa go ntse jalo Modimo ga o lebale le fa e le epe ya tsone.
7 Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: yee are more of value then many sparowes.
Ebile o itse palo ya meriri ya ditlhogo tsa lona! Se boifeng gonne lo botlhokwa thata mo go one go gaisa setlhopha sa dithaga.
8 Also I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.
“Mme ke lo tlhomamisetsa se, ka re: Nna Morwa Motho ke tlaa lo tlotla mo pepeneneng fa pele ga baengele ba Modimo fa lo mpolela jaaka Tsala ya lona mono lefatsheng.
9 But hee that shall denie mee before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.
Mme ba ba intatolang mo gare ga batho ke tlaa ba itatola fa pele ga baengele.
10 And whosoeuer shall speake a woorde against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but vnto him, that shall blaspheme ye holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen.
(Le fa go ntse jalo ba ba buang ka ga me ba ka nna ba itshwarelwa, fa ba ba buang kgatlhanong le Mowa O O Boitshepo ba se kitla ba itshwarelwa).
11 And when they shall bring you vnto the Synagogues, and vnto the rulers and Princes, take no thought howe, or what thing ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.
“Mme e re fa lo tlisiwa tshekong fa pele ga babusi ba ba Sejuta le ba ba nang le ditaolo mo matlung a thuto lo se tshwenyege ka se lo tlaa se buang go iphemela,
12 For the holy Ghost shall teache you in the same houre, what yee ought to say.
gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o tlaa lo naya mafoko a a tshwanetseng fa lo ntse lo le foo.”
13 And one of the companie said vnto him, Master, bidde my brother deuide the inheritance with me.
Hong mongwe a mo tlhaeletsa mo bontsintsing jwa batho a re, “Morena, tswee-tswee raya mogolole a kgaogane boswa le nna.”
14 And he said vnto him, Man, who made me a iudge, or a deuider ouer you?
Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Rra, ke mang yo o ntirileng moatlhodi mo go lona go akanya dilo tse di ntseng jaaka tseo?
15 Wherefore he said vnto them, Take heede, and beware of couetousnesse: for though a man haue abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.
Itlhokomeleng lo se ka lwa aga lo eletsa dilo tse lo senang natso. Gonne botshelo jwa boammaaruri le go tshela ga boammaaruri ga go a ikaega ka dikhumo tsa rona.”
16 And he put foorth a parable vnto them, saying, The grounde of a certaine riche man brought foorth fruites plenteously.
Mme a fa setshwantsho: a re, “Monna wa mohumi o ne a na le tshimo e e mmu o nonneng e e ntshang thobo e ntsi.
17 Therefore he thought with himselfe, saying, What shall I doe, because I haue no roume, where I may lay vp my fruites?
Le fa go ntse jalo difalana tsa gagwe di ne di tletse mo go penologang, o ne a sa kake a kgona go tsenya sengwe le sengwe mo teng. Mme a akanya mathata a gagwe,
18 And he said, This wil I do, I wil pul downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruites, and my goods.
ya re kwa bofelong a goa a re, ‘Ke a itse, ke tlaa rutla difalana tsa me ke aga tse di tona! Jaanong ke tlaa nna le polokelo e e lekaneng.
19 And I wil say to my soule, Soule, thou hast much goods laide vp for many yeeres: liue at ease, eate, drinke and take thy pastime.
Mme ke tlaa nna, ke ithaya ke re, “Tsala o na le dithoto tse dintsi tsa dingwaga tse di tlang. Thuba kobo segole! Itumedise botshelo jwa gago ka mofine le basadi o opelelwe.”’
20 But God said vnto him, O foole, this night wil they fetch away thy soule from thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast prouided?
“Mme Modimo wa mo raya wa re, ‘Seeleele ke wena; bosigo jono o a swa mme dilo tse tsotlhe e tlaa nna tsa ga mang?’
21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not riche in God.
Ee, mongwe le mongwe ke seeleele yo o amogelang dikhumo mo lefatsheng e seng kwa legodimong.”
22 And he spake vnto his disciples, Therefore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate: neither for your body, what yee shall put on.
Hong a retologela kwa barutweng ba gagwe a ba raya a re, “Se tshwenyegeng ka gore a lo na le dijo tse dintsi go ja kgotsa diaparo go apara.
23 The life is more then meate: and the body more then the raiment.
Gonne botshelo bo gaisa dijo le diaparo.
24 Consider the rauens: for they neither sowe nor reape: which neither haue storehouse nor barne, and yet God feedeth them: how much more are yee better then foules?
Lebelelang magakabe, ga a leme, ga a robe, ga a na difalana go boloka dijo tsa one, mme le fa go ntse jalo a tshela sentle fela gonne Modimo o a a otla. Mme lo tlhwatlhwa kgolo mo go one go gaisa dinonyane!
25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?
“Jaanong mo godimo ga mo, go thusang gore lo tshwenyege? Go lo thusa ka eng? A go ka lo okeletsa botshelo ka letsatsi le le lengwe fela? Nnyaa!
26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?
Mme fa tlhobaelo e se ka ke ya dira selo se sennye jaaka seo, go thusang go tlhobaelela dilo tse di tona?
27 Consider the lilies howe they growe: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I say vnto you, that Salomon himselfe in all his royaltie was not clothed like one of these.
“Lebelelang dithunya: Ga di dire ebile ga di otlhe tlhale mme le fa go ntse jalo Solomone mo kgalalelong yotlhe ya gagwe o ne a sa apare sentle jaaka tsone.
28 If then God so clothe the grasse which is to day in the field, and to morowe is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O yee of litle faith?
Mme fa Modimo o apesa dithunya tse di leng fano gompieno e re ka moso di bo di seyo, a ga lo gopole gore o tlaa lo apesa babelaedi ke lona!
29 Therefore aske not what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, neither hag you in suspense.
Le gone lo se ka lwa tshwenyega ka ga dijo, se se jewang le se se nowang; se tshwenyegeng gotlhelele gonne Modimo o tlaa di lo naya.
30 For all such things the people of the world seeke for: and your Father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.
“Batho botlhe ba itapisa ka senkgwe sa letsatsi le letsatsi, mme Rraeno yo o kwa legodimong o itse go tlhoka ga lona.
31 But rather seeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things shalbe cast vpon you.
O tlaa aga a lo naya tsotlhe tse lo di tlhokang letsatsi le letsatsi fa lo tlhoafaletse Bogosi jwa Modimo.
32 Feare not, litle flocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to giue you the kingdome.
“Jalo se boifeng, lona motlhape o monnye gonne go naya Rraeno boitumelo jo bogolo go lo naya Bogosi.
33 Sell that ye haue, and giue almes: make you bagges, which waxe not old, a treasure that can neuer faile in heauen, where no theefe commeth, neither mothe corrupteth.
Rekisang tse lo nang natso lo di neye ba ba tlhokang. Mo go tlaa oketsa dikhumo tsa lona kwa legodimong! Mme dikgwama tsa legodimo ga di gagoge e bile ga di na maroba. Dikhumo tsa lona ga di kitla di nyelela, ga go na magodu a a ka di utswang, ga go na motoutwana o o di senyang.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your hearts be also.
Gongwe le gongwe kwa khumo ya gago e leng teng, pelo ya gago le dikakanyo tsa gago di tlaa nna teng.
35 Let your loynes be gird about and your lights burning,
“Nnang lo ipaakantse, lo apere lo iketleeleditse,
36 And ye your selues like vnto men that waite for their master, when he will returne from the wedding, that when he commeth and knocketh, they may open vnto him immediatly.
go boa ga Morena wa lona kwa modirong wa lonyalo. Hong lo tlaa bo lo ipaakanyeditse go mmulela kgoro gore a tsene ka nako e o gorogang ka yone a kokota.
37 Blessed are those seruants, whom the Lord when he commeth shall finde waking: verely I say vnto you, he will girde himselfe about, and make them to sit downe at table, and will come forth, and serue them.
Go tlaa nna boitumelo jo bogolo mo go ba ba ipaakantseng ba bile ba letile go boa ga gagwe. Ene ka boene o tlaa ba amogela a ba naya bonno a ba a apara seaparo sa baabi ba dijo go ba heha.
38 And if he come in the seconde watch, or come in the third watch, and shall finde them so, blessed are those seruants.
“O ka nna a tla ka nako ya boroba bongwe bosigo, kgotsa bosigo gare. Mme e tlaa re mogang a tlang, go tlaa nna boitumelo mo batlhankeng ba gagwe ba ba ipaakantseng!
39 Nowe vnderstand this, that if the good man of the house had knowen at what houre the theefe would haue come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be digged through.
“Mongwe le mongwe o ne a tlaa mo ipaakanyetsa fa ba ne ba itsile nako tota ya go boa ga gagwe, fela jaaka ba ne ba ka ipaakanyetsa legodu fa ba itsile fa le tlaa tla.
40 Be ye also prepared therefore: for the Sonne of man will come at an houre when ye thinke not.
Jalo ipaakanyeng ka nako tsotlhe. Gonne Nna Morwa Motho, ke tlaa tla go sa solofela ope.”
41 Then Peter saide vnto him, Master, tellest thou this parable vnto vs, or euen to all?
Petere a botsa a re, “Morena a o bua le rona fela kgotsa le mongwe le mongwe?”
42 And the Lord saide, Who is a faithfull steward and wise, whom the master shall make ruler ouer his householde, to giue them their portion of meate in season?
Mme Morena a fetola a re, “Ke bua le mongwe le mongwe yo o ikanyegang yo o nang le tlhaloganyo yo mong wa gagwe o mo nayang tiro ya go otla batlhanka ba gagwe. Mme fa mong wa gagwe a boa a fitlhela a dirile tiro e e siameng, go tlaa nna le tuelo, mong wa gagwe o tlaa mmaya motlhokomedi wa dilo tsa gagwe tsotlhe.
43 Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
44 Of a trueth I say vnto you, that he wil make him ruler ouer all that he hath.
45 But if that seruant say in his heart, My master doeth deferre his comming, and ginne to smite the seruants, and maydens, and to eate, and drinke, and to be drunken,
“Mme fa motho a simolola go akanya gore, ‘Morena wa me ga a nke a tla o diegile,’ hong a simolole go itaya banna le basadi ba o tshwanetseng go ba sireletsa, le go senya nako ya gagwe mo medirong ya dino le botagwa,
46 The master of that seruant will come in a day when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware of, and will cut him off, and giue him his portion with the vnbeleeuers.
Mme mong wa gagwe o tlaa boa kwa ntle ga kitsiso epe mme a mo ntshe mo maemong a gagwe a go tshephega a mo neye bonno jwa ba ba sa ikanyegeng.
47 And that seruant that knewe his masters will, and prepared not himselfe, neither did according to his will, shalbe beaten with many stripes.
O tlaa otlhaiwa mo go botlhoko, gonne le fa a ne a itse tiro ya gagwe o ganne go e dira.
48 But he that knewe it not, and yet did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with fewe stripes: for vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shalbe much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they aske.
“Mme le fa e le mang yo o sa itseng gore o dira phoso o tlaa otlhaiwa fela go le gonnye. Mo go tona go batlwa mo go ba ba neilweng mo go tona, gonne boikarabelo jwa bone bo bo tona.
49 I am come to put fire on the earth, and what is my desire, if it be already kindled?
“Ke tsile go lere molelo mo lefatshing, mme ruri, ke eletsa jang gore ekete tiro ya me e ka bo e setse e fedile!
50 Notwithstanding I must be baptized with a baptisme, and how am I grieued, till it be ended?
Go na le kolobetso e e maswe kwa pele ga me, mme ke pitlagane thata go tsamaya e diragala!
51 Thinke ye that I am come to giue peace on earth? I tell you, nay, but rather debate.
“A lo gopola gore ke tsile go lere kagiso mo lefatsheng? Nnyaa! Ke lerile ntwa le kgaogano fela.
52 For from hencefoorth there shall be fiue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three.
Go tloga fano malwapa a tlaa kgaogana ka bogare, ba bararo ba eme le nna, ba babedi ba nne kgatlhanong le nna, kgotsa go nne ka mokgwa o sele.
53 The father shalbe deuided against ye sonne, and the sonne against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe.
“Rrabana o tlaa ntsha maikutlo a sele ka ga me; morwawe le ene a ntshe a sele; mmangwana le morwadie ba tlaa tlhoka kutlwisisanyo, mogopolo wa matsalaa motho yo o tlotlegang o tlaa nyadiwa ke ngwetsi ya gagwe.”
54 Then said he to the people, When ye see a cloude rise out of the West, straightway ye say, A shower commeth: and so it is.
Mme a retologela kwa bontsintsing jwa batho a re, “Fa lo bona maru a simolola go ipopa kwa bophirima, lwa re, ‘Pula e e tla’, mme lo bo lo bolelela ruri.
55 And when ye see the South winde blowe, ye say, that it wilbe hoate: and it commeth to passe.
“Fa phefo ya borwa e foka lo re, ‘Gompieno go tlaa nna mogote’. Mme ruri go nne jalo.
56 Hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the earth, and of the skie: but why discerne ye not this time?
Baitimokanyi! lo lemoga loapi sentle thata, mme lo gana go lemoga ditlhagiso tse di lo dikaganyeditseng kaga dipaka tse di diphatsa tse di tlang.
57 Yea, and why iudge ye not of your selues what is right?
Ke eng fa lo gana go iponela se se siameng?
58 While thou goest with thine aduersarie to the ruler, as thou art in the way, giue diligence in the way, that thou mayest be deliuered from him, least he drawe thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the iayler, and the iayler cast thee into prison.
“Fa o kopana le moganetsi wa gago mo tseleng a isa kgang ya lona kgotleng, leka go letlana nae pele ga kgang e tsena kwa moatlhoding, e se re gongwe a go isa kwa kgolegelong;
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast payed the vtmost mite.
gonne fa seo se diragala ga o kitla o gololesega gape go fitlhelela thebe ya bofelo e duelwa yotlhe”.
