Matthew 11
1 And it happened that when Yeshua had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Mme e rile fa Jesu a sena go fetsa go nee-la barutwa ba gagwe ba ba lesome le metso e le mebedi ditaelo tse, a tsamaya mo metseng e ba neng ba tshwanetse go rera mo go yone.
2 Now when Yukhanan heard in prison the works of the Meshikha, he sent his disciples
Johane wa Mokolobetsi yo o neng jaanong a le mo kgolegelong, a utlwa kaga dikgakgamatso tsotlhe tse Mesia o neng a di dira, jalo a roma barutwa ba gagwe go botsa Jesu gore,
3 and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
“A o ene tota yo re mo lebeletseng, kgotsa re nne re lebeletse?”
4 And Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell Yukhanan the things which you hear and see:
Jesu a ba raya a re, “Boelang kwa go Johane lo mmolelele kaga dikgakgamatso tse lo mponyeng ke di dira
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
difofu tse ke di foufolotseng, le digole tse jaanong di tsamayang kwa ntle ga thuso le balepero ba ba fodisitsweng, le bosusu ba ba utlwang, le baswi ba ba rudisitsweng; lo bo lo mmolelele gore ke rerela bahumanegi mafoko a a molemo.
6 And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
Jaanong lo bo lo mo neela molaetsa o, ‘Go sego ba ba sa mpelaeleng.’”
7 And as these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the crowds concerning Yukhanan, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Erile barutwa ba ga Johane ba sena go tsamaya, Jesu a simolola go bua le bontsintsi jwa batho ka ga gagwe a re, “Erile lo tswela mo sekakeng se se senang sepe go bona Johane, lo no lo solofetse gore lo tlaa mmona a ntse jang? A tshwana le tlhaga e e fokang mo phefong?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
Kgotsa a lo no lo solofetse go bona monna yo o apereng jaaka kgosana mo maphatsipatsing a bogosi?
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Kgotsa moporofiti wa Modimo? Ee, mme o mogolo go na le moporofiti fela.
10 This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
Gonne Johane ke ene yo o umakilweng mo dikwalong; morongwa yo o neng a tshwanetse go tla pele game, go anamisa go tla game, le go baakanya batho go nkamogela.
11 Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than Yukhanan the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Ammaaruri, mo go botlhe ba ba kileng ba tsalwa, ga go na yo o galalelang thata go gaisa Johane wa Mokolobetsi. Mme le fa go ntse jalo, le masedi a mabotlana mo Bogosing jwa legodimo a tlaa nna a magolo go na nae!
12 And from the days of Yukhanan the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
“Mme go simolola nako e Johane wa Mokolobetsi o neng a simolola go rera ka yone a kolobetsa go fitlhelela jaanong jaana, matshwititshwiti a a matlhagatlhaga a ntse a kgobokanela Bogosi jwa Legodimo,
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Yukhanan.
Gonne melao yotlhe le baporofiti ba ne ba solofetse Mesia. Mme Johane a bonala,
14 And if you are willing to receive it, this is Eliya, who is to come.
mme fa lo batla go tlhaloganya se ke se rayang, ke Elija; ene yo baporofiti ba rileng o tlaa tla ka nako e Bogosi bo simololang ka yone.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
“Fa e le gore lo kile lwa rata go reetsa, reetsang jaanong.
16 "But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
“Ke tlaa reng ka ga chaba e? Batho ba, ba tshwana le bana ba tshameka, ba ba rayang balekane ba bone ba re,
17 and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
‘Re tshamekile lenyalo mme lwa seka lwa itumela, ra tshameka phitlho mme lwa seka lwa utlwa botlhoko’.
18 For Yukhanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
Gonne Johane wa Mokolobetsi ga a nwe le fa e le mofine, gape o itima dijo gantsi, mme lwa re, ‘O a tsenwa’.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
Mme nna, Morwa Motho, ke a ja e bile ke a nwa, mme lo ngongoregela gore ke ‘sejabobe, ke senwi, e bile ke dirisanya le mofuta o o maswe wa baleofi!’ Mme batho ba ba botlhale jaaka lona ba ka bona seipato mo go sengwe le sengwe se ba se dirang!”
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
Mme a simolola go kgoba metse e a neng a dirile bogolo jwa dikgakgamatso dingwe tsa gagwe mo go yone ka gore e ne e sa boela mo Modimong.
21 "Woe to you, Korazin. Woe to you, Beth-Sayada. For if the mighty works had been done in Tsur and Tsaidan which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
A re, “A bo go latlhega wena Korasina, a bo go latlhega wena Bethesaida! Gonne fa dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirileng mo mebileng ya lona di ne di dirilwe mo Ture le Sidona ba ba kgopo, batho ba teng ba ka bo ba sa bolo go sokologa ka ditlhong le boingotlo.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tsur and Tsaidan on the day of judgment than for you.
“Ammaaruri Ture le Sidona ba tlaa bo ba le botoka go na le lona ka Letsatsi la Katlholo!
23 And you, Kepharnakhum, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to Sheyul. For if the mighty works had been done in Sedum which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Mme Kaperanama, lefa a tlotlwa thata, o tlaa fologela mo diheleng! Gonne fa dikgakgamatso tse dintle tse di dirilweng mo go wena di ka bo di dirilwe mo Sodoma, o ka bo a sa ntse a le teng le gompieno. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sedum, on the day of judgment, than for you."
Ammaaruri, Sodoma, o tlaa bo a le botoka go na le wena ka Letsatsi la Katlholo.”
25 At that time, Yeshua answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
Mme Jesu a rapela thapelo e, “Rara, Morena wa legodimo le lefatshe, ke lebogela gore o fitlhetse ba ba ikgopolang ba le botlhale boammaaruri, mme wa bo senolela banyana!
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Ee, Rara, gonne go go kgatlhile go go dira ka tsela e!”
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
“Boammaaruri jotlhe ke bo neetswe ke Rre. Rara fela ke ene a itseng Morwa, le Rara o itsiwe ke Morwa fela le ba Morwa o ba mo senolelang.
28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Tlang kwano go nna mme ke tla lo lapolosa, lotlhe ba lo dirang thata ka fa tlase ga jokwe e e bokete.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Sikarang jokwe ya me, gonne e lo lekana sentle mmang ke lo rute; gonne ke bonolo le boingotlo, jalo lo tlaa bonela mewa ya lona tapologo, gonne ke lo naya merwalo e e motlhofo fela.”
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
