Matthew 26
1 AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
Mme e rile Jesu a sena go fetsa puo e le barutwa ba gagwe a ba raya a re,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
“Jaaka lo itse, gore modiro wa Tlolaganyo o simologa mo malatsing a mabedi a a tlang, ke tlaa okwa ke be ke bapolwa.”
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Ka lone lobaka loo ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le bagolwane ba bangwe ba Sejuda ba phuthegela kwa kgotleng ya ga Kaiafase moperesiti yo mogolo,
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
go gakololana ka maano a go tshwara Jesu ka bokukuntshwane go mmolaya.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Mme ba dumalana ba re, “Eseng ka modiro wa Tlolaganyo, gonne go ka tsoga pheretlhego.”
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Foo Jesu a tswela kwa Bethania, kwa legaeng la ga Simone wa molepero.
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
Mme ya re Jesu a sa ntse a a ja ga tla mosadi mongwe a tshotse lebotlolo la setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo, mme a se tshela mo tlhogong ya gagwe.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Barutwa ba ne ba gakatsega ba re, “A tshenyo ya madi a magolo! O ka bo a se rekisitse madi a mantsi mme a a abela bahumanegi.”
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
Jesu a itse se ba se akanyang, mme a re, “Ke eng fa lo mo tshwaya phoso? Gonne o ntiretse tiro e ntle thata.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
Lo tlaa aga lo na le bahumanegi, mme ga lo na go nna le nna ka malatsi otlhe.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
O tshetse setlolo se mo go nna go baakanyetsa mmele wa me go fitlhwa.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Mme o tlaa aga a gopolwa ka tiro e. Polelo ya se a se dirileng e tlaa bolelwa mo lefatshing lotlhe, gongwe le gongwe kwa Mafoko a a Molemo a rerwang teng.”
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
Judase Isekariota, mongwe wa baaposetoloi ba ba some le bobedi a ya kwa ditlhogong tsa baperesiti,
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
mme a botsa a re, “Lo tlaa ntuela bokae go tsenya Jesu mo diatleng tsa lona?” Mme ba mo naya dipapetlana tsa selefera di le masome mararo.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Mme go simologa ka lobaka loo, Judase a batla lebaka le le siameng la go ba okela Jesu.
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Mo letsatsing la ntlha la mediro ya Tlolaganyo, fa senkgwe se se sa bidisi wang se se, tswang mo malapeng a a farologaneng a Sejuda se jewa, barutwa ba tla kwa go Jesu ba mmotsa ba re, “Re baakanyetsa go jela Moletlo wa Tlolaganyo kae?”
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
A fetola a re, “Tsenang mo motseng lo fete lo bone rre semangmang, mme lo mo reye lo re, ‘Monnga rona a re, nako yame e gorogile mme ke tlaa jela dijo tsa Moletlo wa Tlolaganyo le barutwa ba me kwa tlong ya gago.’”
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
Jalo barutwa ba dira jaaka a ba boleletse, mme ba baakanya dijo teng.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
Mme ya re mo maabanyaneng ao fa a sa ntse a a ja le ba ba some le bobedi, a bua a re “Mongwe wa lona o tlaa nkoka.”
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
Mme ba futsafala thata, mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a botsa a re, “A ke nna?”
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
A fetola a re, “Ke yo ke mo fileng sejo pele.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Gonne ke tshwanetse go swa fela jaaka go porofitilwe, mme a bo go latlhega monna yo o nkokang. Go ka bo go le molemo thata fa yoo a ka bo a na a seka a tsalwa.”
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Judase le ene, o ne a mmotsa a re, “Moruti, a ke nna?” Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke wena.”
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Ya re ba sa ja, Jesu a tsaya senkgwe a se segofatsa, a se ngathoganya a se neela barutwa a re, “Tsayang lo je gonne se ke mmele wa me.”
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
Gape a tsaya senwelo sa mofine a se segofatsa, a se ba neela a re, “Mongwe le mongwe a nwe,
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
gonne se ke madi ame, a a kanelang Kgolagano e Ncha. A tshololelwa go itshwarela dibe tsa bontsintsi jwa batho.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
Tlhokomelang mafoko a me: Ga ke na go tlhola ke nwa mofine o gape go fitlhelela letsatsi le ke tlaa o nwang le lona o le mosha mo Bogosing jwa ga Rre.”
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Mme ya re ba sena go opela sefela, ba ya kwa Thabeng ya Lotlhware.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Bosigong jono, lotlhe lo tlaa mphatlalalela. Gonne go kwadilwe mo Dikwalong gore Modimo o tlaa itaya modisa, mme letsomane la dinku le tlaa phatlalala.
32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
Mme morago ga ke tsosiwa ke tlaa ya Galalea, go lo rakantsha teng.”
33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Petere a mo fetola a re, “Fa botlhe ba ka go tlogela, nna ga ke na go go tlogela.”
34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Boammaaruri ke gore mo bosigongjono, pele ga mokoko o lela ka nako ya mahube maphakela, o tlaa bo o intatotse gararo!”.
35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Petere a fetola a re, “Go ka swa nna pele.” Mme le barutwa ba bangwe botlhe ba bua fela jalo.
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
Hong Jesu a ba lere fa moseleng wa tshimo ya Gethesemane, mme a ba raya a re ba nne fa fatshe mme ba lete foo a sa ntse a tsamaela fa pele go ya go rapela.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
A tsaya Petere le bomorwa Sebede ba babedi Jakobe le Johane, mme a simolola go hutsafala le go huduega.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
Mme a ba raya a re, “Mowa wa me o hutsafetse thata o bile o utlwile botlhoko mo go isang losung: Lo lebelele le Nna.”
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
A ya fa pelenyana, a wela ka sefatlhogo fa fatshe, a rapela a re, “Rara! Fa go kgonega, a senwelo se se tlosiwe fa go nna. Mme ke batla thato ya gago, eseng ya me.”
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Mme a boela morago kwa barutweng ba bararo mme a ba fitlhela ba thulametse. Mme a bitsa Petere a re, “a lo no lo ka seka lwa lebelela le nna ka lobaka lwa selekanyo sa oura fela?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Lebelelang lo rapele. Esengjalo thaelo e tlaa lo fenya. Gonne mowa tota o a rata, mme mmele o bokoa thata!”
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Gape a ba tlogela a ya go rapela, a re, “Rara! Fa senwelo se se sa kake sa feta fela fa ke sa se nwe sotlhe, a go rata ga gago go diragale.”
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
A boela kwa go bone mme a fitlhela ba robetse, gonne ba ne ba otsela thata,
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
mme a boela gape mo thapelong lwa boraro, a boelela mafoko a o neng a ntse a a bua.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Hong a tla kwa barutweng a re, “Robalang lo itapoloseng, bonang! Nako e gorogile, ke okelwa mo diatleng tsa batho ba ba bosula!
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
Tsogang; a re tsamayeng! Bonang, motho yo o nkokang ke yoo o e tla!”
47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Mme ya re ka lona lobaka loo a ntse a bua, Judase, mongwe wa ba ba lesome le bobedi, a goroga le bontsi jo bogolo jwa batho ba tshotse dichaka le melamu ba romilwe ke Baeteledipele ba Sejuda.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
Judase o na a ba reile a re ba tshware yo o tlaa mo dumedisang gonne e tlaa bo e le ene yo ba mmatlang.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
Hong Judase a tla a tlhamalaletse kwa go Jesu a re, “Dumela Morena!” Mme a mo tlamparela ka tsela ya go atla ka lorato lo lo feteletseng lwa tlhologelelo.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Jesu a re, “Tsala ya me, tswelela pele o dire se o se tletseng.” Hong ba bangwe ba mo tshwara.
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.
Mongwe wa banna ba ba patileng Jesu a somola chaka a kgaola tsebe ya motlhanka wa Moperesiti yo mogolo.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Baya chaka ya gago, ba ba dirisang dichaka ba tlaa bolawa.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
A ga o lemoge gore ke ne ke ka kopa Rre dikete tsa baengele go re sireletsa, mme o na a ka ba roma gone fela ka nako eo.
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Mme fa nkabo ke dirile jalo; Dikwalo di ne di ka diragadiwa jang tse di tlhalosang se se diragalang jaanong jaana?”
55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
Hong Jesu a bua le bontsintsi jwa batho a re, “A ke serukutlhi se se diphatsa, mo lo neng lwa tshwanelwa ke go tsaya dichaka le melamu pele ga lo ntshwara? Ke ntse le lona ka malatsi otlhe ke ruta mo Tempeleng mme ga lo ise lo ke lo nkganele.
56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
Mme mo gotlhe ga diragala go diragatsa mafoko a baporofiti jaaka a kwadilwe mo Dikwalong.”
57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Hong bontsi jwa batho jwa mo isa kwa legaeng la ga Kaiafase Moperesiti yo mogolo, kwa baeteledipele botlhe ba Sejuda ba neng ba phuthegetse teng.
58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
Mme e rile ka yone nako eo Petere a bo a le kgakala a mo setse morago, mme a tla mo kgotleng ya moperesiti yo mogolo a tsena mo teng a nna le masole, mme a emela go bona se se neng se tsile go diragalela Jesu.
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le lekgotla lotlhe le le tona la Sejuda tsa phuthaganela teng mme tsa senka basupi ba ba ka buang maaka ka ga Jesu, go mo direla kgang e e ka felelang ka katlholo ya loso.
60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
Mme le fa ba ne ba bona bontsi jo bo neng jwa dumalana go nna basupi ba eseng ba boammaaruri, bone bao ba ne ba aga ba ganetsanya. Lwa bofelo ga bonwa banna ba le babedi ba ba neng ba supa ba re, “Monna yo o rile, ‘Ke kgona go senya Tempele ya Modimo ke bo ke e age mo malatsing a mararo’
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Hong Mo peresiti yo Mogolo a ema ka dinao a raya Jesu a re, wa reng ka ga gone? A o buile jalo kgotsa nnyaa?”
63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Mme Jesu a didimala fela. Jalo Moperesiti yo Mogolo a mo raya a re, “Ke go ikanisa mo leineng la Modimo o o tshedileng gore o re bolelele gore a o ipitsa Mesia Morwa Modimo.”
64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mme Jesu a re, “Ee, ke ene. Mme e tlaa re mo malatsing a a tlang lo tlaa mpona, Nna Morwa Motho, ke ntse ka fa lebogong le legolo la Modimo ke tla ka maru a legodimo.”
65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Hong moperesiti yo Mogolo a ikgagola diaparo a goa a re, “O a tlhapatsa! Re sa ntse re tlhokelang basupi ba bangwe? Lo mo utlwile lotlhe a buajalo! Katlholo ya lona ke efe?” Ba gowa ba re, “A a bolawe! A a bolawe! A a bolawe!”
66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Hong ba mo kgwela mathe mo sefatlhogong, ba mo itaya mme ba bangwe ba mo phanya.
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
Ba re, “Re porofesetse, wena Mesia ke mang yo o nang a go itaya ka nako ele?”
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Mme e rile ka lobaka loo, fa Petere a ntse mo kgotleng, mosetsana a tla kwa go ene a mo raya a re, “O ne o na le Jesu, gonne lotlhe lo tswa Galalea.”
70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
Mme Petere a itatolela kwa godimo a gaketse a re, “Ga ke itse se o buang ka sone.”
71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Mme ya re a sena go tswa ka kgoro, mosetsana yo mongwe a mo lemoga, mme a raya ba ba neng ba eme foo a re, “Monna yo o ne a na le Jesu wa Nasaretha.”
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Gape Petere a itatola, ka ikano a re “Ga ke itse monna yo.”
73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
Mme morago ga lobakanyana banna ba ba neng ba eme foo ba tla kwa go ene ba re, “Re itse gore o mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, gonne re utlwile loleme lwa gago lwa Segalalea.”
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Petere a simolola go rogakana le go ikana a re, “Ga ke itse monna yo.” Mme ka bofefo mokoko wa lela.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Hong Petere a gakologelwa se Jesu a se mo reileng fa a re, “Pele ga mokoko o lela o tlaa bo o intatotse gararo.” Mme a tswela kwa ntle a lela mo go botlhoko.
