Luke 18
1 And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu a bolelela barutwa ba gagwe polelo ya go ba supegetsa ka fa go tlhokegang ka teng gore ba rapele ka metlha yotlhe le go ba bontsha gore ba tshwanetse go tswelela ba rapela go fitlhelela ba bona karabo.
2 Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
A ba raya a re, “Go kile ga bo go na le moatlhodi mo motsing, monna yo o ne a sa boife Modimo a le lonyatso lo logolo mo go botlhe.
3 And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
Mme motlholagadi mongwe wa motse oo o ne a tla kwa go ene nako le nako go ikopela tsheko kgatlhanong le monna yo o neng a mo utlwisitse botlhoko.
4 And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
“Moatlhodi o ne a mo tlhokomologa ka lobakanyana mme ya re morago a mo lapisa. A ithaya a re, ‘Ga ke boife Modimo le fa e le motho, mme mosadi yo o a ntshwenya. Ke tlaa mo atlhola gonne o ntapisa ka go boaboa ga gagwe.’”
5 Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
6 And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
Hong Morena a ba raya a re, “Fa e le gore moatlhodi yo o bosula o ka dira jalo,
7 Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
a ga lo akanye gore Modimo o tlaa atlholela batho ba one ka tshiamo ba ba o lopang bosigo le motshegare?
8 I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
Ee! O tlaa ba araba ka bonako! Mme potso ke gore: Fa nna Morwa motho, ke boa, ke tlaa fitlhela ba le kae ba ba nang le tumelo [ebile ba rapela]?”
9 He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
Hong a ba bolelela polelo ya bangwe ba ba kileng ba ikgantsha ka tshiamo ya bone ba nyatsa ba bangwe.
10 Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
“Banna ba babedi ba kile ba ya kwa Tempeleng go ya go rapela. Mongwe e ne e le moikgantshi wa Mofarasai, yo o iponang tshiamo yo mongwe e le mokgethisi wa motsietsi.
11 The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
Mme moikgantshi wa Mofarasai a ‘rapela’ thapelo e: ‘Ke a leboga Mo-dimo, ga ke moleofi jaaka ba bangwe, bogolo jang jaaka mokgethisi yole! Gonne ga ke tsietse, ga ke dire boaka,
12 I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
Ke itima dijo gabedi mo bekeng, mme ke naya Modimo di tsa bosome jwa dilo tsotlhe tse ke di bapalang.’
13 But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
“Mme mokgethisi yo o bosula a emetse kwa kgakala a sa batle go lelala kwa legodimong fa a rapela, a ititaya sefuba ka kutlobotlhoko, a goa a re, ‘Modimo nkutlwela botlhoko nna moleofi!’
14 I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
Ke a lo bolelela, moleofi yo, e seng Mofarasai, o ne a boela gae a itshwaretswe! Gonne baikgantshi ba tlaa ngotlafadiwa mme ba ba ingotlang ba tlaa godisiwa.”
15 They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
Ka letsatsi lengwe basadi bangwe ba tlisa masea a bone kwa go ene go ba ama le go ba segofatsa. Mme barutwa ba ba raya ba re ba tsamaya.
16 But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
Hong Jesu a ipiletsa bananyana mme a raya barutwa a re, “Lesang bananyana ba tle kwa go nna! Lo se ka lwa ba kganela! Gonne Bogosi jwa Modimo ke jwa batho ba dipelo tsa bone di nang le tumelo jaaka tsa bananyana. Mme le fa e le mang yo o senang tumelo e e tshwanang le ya bone, ga a kitla a tsena ka dikgoro tsa Bogosi!”
17 Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
18 Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
Ka bofefo Moeteledipele wa tumelo ya Sejuta a mmotsa potso e: “Morena yo o molemo ke ka dira jang go tsena mo legodimong?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “A o lemoga se o se buang fa o mpitsa ‘molemo’? Ke Modimo fela ke one o molemo, e seng ope gape.
20 Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
Mme ka fa potsong ya gago, o itse gore melao e e lesome ya re, o seka wa dira boaka, o seka wa bolaya, o seka wa utswa, o se ka wa aka, tlotla batsadi ba gago, le e mengwe jalo.”
21 And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
Mme monna a fetola a re, “Ke tlhokometse mongwe le mongwe wa melao eo go tswa bonnyeng jwa me.”
22 Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
Hong Jesu a mo raya a re, “Go santse go na le sengwe se o se tlhokang, rekisa tsotlhe tse o nang natso o abele bahumanegi madi, e tlaa nna yone khumo ya gago kwa legodimong, mme o tle, o ntshale morago.”
23 But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
Mme e rile fa monna a utlwa se, a tsamaya ka kutlo botlhoko, ka a ne a humile thata.
24 And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
Jesu a mo lebelela a tsamaya mme a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Go thata jang gore mohumi a tsene mo bogosing jwa Modimo!
25 Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
Go bonolo mo kammeleng go tsena ka leroba la nnale bogolo go mohumi go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo!”
26 Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
Mme ba ba mo utlwileng jaana ba gakgamala ba re, “Fa go le thata jalo, batho ba ka bolokesega jang?”
27 And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
A ba fetola a re, “Modimo o ka dira se batho ba se ka keng ba se dira!”
28 Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
Mme Petere a re, “Re tlogetse malwapa a rona ra go sala morago.”
29 And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
Jesu a fetola a re, “E, mme botlhe ba ba dirileng jaaka lona, ba tlogetse lolwapa, mosadi, bomorwarraagwe, batsadi kgotsa bana ka ntlha ya Bogosi jwa Modimo,
31 Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
Hong a phutha ba ba Lesome le Bobedi a ba raya a re, “Jaaka lo itse, re ya Jerusalema. Mme fa re tsena koo dipolelelo-pelo tsa baporofiti ba bogologolo ka ga me di tlaa diragala.
32 For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
Ke tlaa neelwa Badichaba go sotlwa le go kgwelwa mathe le go gagautlhwa mo go tlhabisang ditlhong,
33 And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
ke tlaa itewa ke bo ke bolawa. Mme ka letsatsi la boraro ke tlaa tsoga gape.”
34 But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
Mme ba seka ba tlhaloganya selo se o neng a se bua. O ne a bonala ekete o bua dinaane fela.
35 And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
Mme ya re ba atamela Jeriko, ga bo go le monna mongwe wa sefofu a ntse fa thoko ga tsela, a kopa mo bafeting.
36 And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
E rile a utlwa modumo wa bontsintsi bo feta a botsa gore go diragalang?
37 And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
A bolelelwa gore Jesu wa Nasaretha o a feta.
38 Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Hong a simolola go goa a re, “Jesu, Morwa Dafide, nkutlwela botlhoko!”
39 And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Mme bontsintsi jwa batho jo bo neng bo eteletse Jesu pele jwa leka go didimatsa monna yo, mme a goela kwa godimo a re, “Morwa Dafide nkutlwela botlhoko!”
40 And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
E rile Jesu a goroga fa lefelong leo a ema a re, “Lereng monna yoo wa sefofu kwano.”
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
Hong Jesu a botsa monna a re, “O batlang”? A kopa a re, “Morena ke batla go bona!”
42 And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Go siame, bona! Tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse!”
43 Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
Mme ka bofefo monna a kgona go bona, a latela Jesu, a baka Modimo. Mme botlhe ba ba neng ba go bona go direga le bone ba baka Modimo.
