Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
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 judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect people.
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 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.'
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 He would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
“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 widow bothers me, I will give her justice, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Hong Morena a ba raya a re, “Fa e le gore moatlhodi yo o bosula o ka dira jalo,
7 Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with 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 that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find 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 spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
Hong a ba bolelela polelo ya bangwe ba ba kileng ba ikgantsha ka tshiamo ya bone ba nyatsa ba bangwe.
10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“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 Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
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 twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
Ke itima dijo gabedi mo bekeng, mme ke naya Modimo di tsa bosome jwa dilo tsotlhe tse ke di bapalang.’
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful 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 went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be 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 Now they were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw 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 Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
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 Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting 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 Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—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 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your 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 he said, "I have kept all these things from my youth up."
Mme monna a fetola a re, “Ke tlhokometse mongwe le mongwe wa melao eo go tswa bonnyeng jwa me.”
22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me."
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 these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Mme e rile fa monna a utlwa se, a tsamaya ka kutlo botlhoko, ka a ne a humile thata.
24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom 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 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God."
Go bonolo mo kammeleng go tsena ka leroba la nnale bogolo go mohumi go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo!”
26 Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
Mme ba ba mo utlwileng jaana ba gakgamala ba re, “Fa go le thata jalo, batho ba ka bolokesega jang?”
27 But he said, "The things which are impossible with man are possible with God."
A ba fetola a re, “Modimo o ka dira se batho ba se ka keng ba se dira!”
28 And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things and followed you."
Mme Petere a re, “Re tlogetse malwapa a rona ra go sala morago.”
29 He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's 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 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
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 will be delivered up to the non-Jews, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Ke tlaa neelwa Badichaba go sotlwa le go kgwelwa mathe le go gagautlhwa mo go tlhabisang ditlhong,
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."
ke tlaa itewa ke bo ke bolawa. Mme ka letsatsi la boraro ke tlaa tsoga gape.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
Mme ba seka ba tlhaloganya selo se o neng a se bua. O ne a bonala ekete o bua dinaane fela.
35 It happened, as he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, 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 Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
E rile a utlwa modumo wa bontsintsi bo feta a botsa gore go diragalang?
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
A bolelelwa gore Jesu wa Nasaretha o a feta.
38 He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
Hong a simolola go goa a re, “Jesu, Morwa Dafide, nkutlwela botlhoko!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy 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 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
E rile Jesu a goroga fa lefelong leo a ema a re, “Lereng monna yoo wa sefofu kwano.”
41 "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
Hong Jesu a botsa monna a re, “O batlang”? A kopa a re, “Morena ke batla go bona!”
42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Go siame, bona! Tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse!”
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised 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.
