Luke 14
1 And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.
Mme ka Sabata nngwe ya re a le mo lwapeng lwa leloko lengwe la Lekgotla la Sejuta, Bafarasai ba bo ba mo lebeletse thata jaaka bophakalane go bona gore a o tlaa fodisa monna yo o neng a le foo a lwala go tlala metsi mo ditokololong.
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
Mme Jesu a raya Bafarasai le bomaitseanape ba ba neng ba le foo a re, “A go kafa molaong go fodisa motho ka letsatsi la Sabata, kgotsa nnyaa?”
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
Mme ya re ba gana go mo araba, Jesu a tshwara monna yo o lwalang ka letsogo a mo fodisa a mo rebola go tsamaya.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
Hong a retologela kwa go bone: A botsa a re, “Ke ofe wa lona yo o sa direng ka letsatsi la Sabata? Fa kgomo ya gago e wela mo sedibeng, a ga o ka ke wa tswelela pele go e ntsha ka bonako?”
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
Gape ba tlhoka karabo.
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
Mme erile fa a lemoga fa batho botlhe ba ba tsileng dijong ba leka go nna gaufi le lomati lwa bojelo, a ba gakolola a re:
8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,
“Fa lo laleditswe modiro wa nyalo, lo se ka lwa aga lo lwela go nna kwa mannong a a botoka. Gonne fa mongwe yo o tlotlegang thata go lo gaisa a goroga,
9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.
ene yo o laleditseng o tlaa mo lere fa o ntseng gone mme a re, ‘A monna yoo a nne fa mo boemong jwa gago’. Mme wena, ka ditlhong o tlaa tshwanelwa ke go nna mo setilong se se setseng kwa morago ga lomati lwa bojelo!
10 But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
“Jaanong dira se mo boemong jwa seo, simolola kwa morago; mme fa yo o go laleditseng a go bona, o tlaa tla a go raya a re, ‘Tsala, re go bonetse bonno jo bo botoka go na le jo! Hong o tlaa tlotlega fa pele ga balalediwa ba bangwe botlhe!
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
Gonne mongwe le mongwe yo o lekang go itlotla o tlaa ngotlafadiwa; mme yo o ikokobetsang o tlaa tlotlwa.’”
12 Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
Hong a retologela kwa go yo o mo laleditseng a re, “E re fa o dira dijo, o se ka wa laletsa ditsala, bomorwarrago, bagaeno, le bahumi! Gonne le bone ba tlaa go laletsa.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
Mme mo boemong jwa mo, o laletse bahumanegi, digole, batlhotsi le difofu.
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
Hong e tlaa re ka tsogo ya basiami, Modimo o tlaa go duelela go laletsa ba ba se ka keng ba go laletsa.”
15 Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.
Erile monna mongwe yo o neng a ntse fa lomating lwa bojelo le Jesu a utlwa dilo tse a goa a re, “Go tlaa nna boitumelo jo bo kae go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo!”
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
Mme Jesu a fetola ka setshwantsho se: “Monna mongwe o kile a baakanya modiro o mogolo mme a dira ditaletso tse dintsi.
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
Erile fa gotlhe go siame, a roma motlhanka wa gagwe go itsise balalediwa gore ke nako ya gore ba tle.
18 But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Mme botlhe ba simolola go dira diipato. Mongwe a re, ke gone fela o neng a reka tshimo mme o batla go ya go e bona, mme a kopa go itshwarelwa.
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Yo mongwe a re ke gone fela a neng a reka sepane sa dipholo tse some mme o batla go di lekeletsa.
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
Yo mongwe e ne e le gone fela a neng a nyala, ka lebaka leo ga aa ka a tla.
21 So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
“Motlhanka a boa a ya go bolelela mong wa gagwe se ba se buileng. Mong wa gagwe a gakatsega thata mme a mo raya a re, itlhaganelele mo mebileng le mo dikgorong tsa motse o laletse bakopi, digole, batlhotsi le difofu.
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
Mme ga bo go santse go na le phatlha.
23 Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.
“Mong wa gagwe a re, ‘Go siame, jaanong tswela mo diferwaneng tsa motse le mo morago ga dikgoro o kope mongwe le mongwe yo o mmonang go tla, gore ntlo e tle e tlale.
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
Gonne ga go ope mo go ba ke ba laleditseng pele yo o tlaa itatswang mo go se ke se ba baakanyeditseng.’”
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
Mme batho ba bantsi ba ne ba mo setse morago. Hong a retologa a ba raya a re,
26 If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.
“Fa mongwe a batla go nna molatedi wa me o tshwanetse go nthata bogolo go gaisa rraagwe, mmaagwe, mosadi wa gagwe, bana ba gagwe, bomonnawe kgotsa bokgaitsadie-ee, go gaisa le jone tota botshelo jwa gagwe, kwa ntle ga moo ga a ka ke a nna morutwa wa me.
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
Ebile ga go na ope yo o ka nnang morutwa wa me fa a sa sikare mokgoro wa gagwe a ntshala morago.
28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
“Mme lo se ka lwa simolola go fitlhelela lo bala tlhwatlhwa. Gonne e mang yo o ka simololang kago, kwa ntle ga go bona pele tekanyo le go bona gore a o na le madi a a lekanyeng go duela melato.
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
E seng jalo, o ka kgona go fetsa motheo pele ga a tlhaelelwa ke madi. Mme ka ntlha ya moo mongwe le mongwe o ka mo tshega jang!
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
“Mme ba tlaa mo sotla ba re, ‘A lo bona motho yo o fa yole? O simolotse kago ele mme o tlhaeletswe ke madi pele ga a e fetsa!’
31 Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
“Kgotsa ke efe kgosi e e ka lorang go ya ntweng pele ga e nna fa fatshe le bagakolodi ba yone ba buisanya gore a masole a selekanyo sa dikete tse di lesome a itekanetse go ka fenya a a dikete tse di masome a mabedi a a kgatlhanong nae?
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
Mme fa mogopolo o sa kgonege, e re fa masole a mmaba a sa le kgakala, e rome batsereganyi go buisanya ka mafoko a kagiso.
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Jalo ga go na ope yo o ka nnang morutwa wa me fa a sa nna fa fatshe pele ga a bala masego a gagwe, mme a a latlhela otlhe mo go nna.
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
Tshiamo ya letswai ke eng fa le latlhegetswe ke molodi?
35 It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Letswai le le senang molodi ga le na tiro le fa e le go nna monontshane. Ga le na tiro mme le tshwanetse go latlhelwa kwa ntle. Reetsang sentle, fa lo batla go tlhaloganya phuthololo ya me.”
