< Matthew 13 >

1 On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
Mme ya re morago ga lone letsatsi leo, Jesu a tswa mo tlung a fologela kwa lotshitshing lwa lewatle,
2 And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
kwa boidiidi jwa batho bo neng jwa tloga jwa kokoanela teng. O na a tsena mo mokorong mme a ruta a le mo go one fa batho ba reeditse ba le mo lotshitshing. O na a bolela dipolelo di le dintsi ka ditshwantsho jaaka e e reng, “Mojadi o ne a jala mabele mo masimong a gagwe.
3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
Erile fa a ntse a gasa peo, e nngwe ya wela mo tseleng mme dinonyane tsa tla tsa e e ja.
5 And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
“Mme e nngwe ya wela mo mmung o o maje, mo go neng go na le mmunyana o o motlhofo; dijalo tsa tlhoga ka bofefo sentle mo mmunyaneng oo,
6 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
mme letsatsi le le molelo la tloga la di fisa mme tsa swaba tsa a swa, ka gore di ne di na le medinyana fela.
7 Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
Dipeo tse dingwe tsa wela mo mitlweng, mme mitlwa ya di hupetsa di sena go tlhoga.
8 Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
Mme tse dingwe tsa wela mo mmung o o siameng, mme tsa ungwa ga masome a mararo, masome a marataro, le lekgolo go le go tona go feta jaaka a ne a jetse.
9 He who has ears, let him hear."
Fa lo na le ditsebe utlwang!”
10 Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
Barutwa ba gagwe ba tla ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke eng fa o aga o dirisa ditshwantsho tse di thata go tlhaloganngwa?”
11 And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
Hong a ba tlhalosetsa gore ke bone fela ba ba letleletsweng go tlhaloganya ka ga Bogosi jwa Legodimo, mme ba bangwe bone ga ba a letlelelwa.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
A ba a ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Ka gore yo o nang le sengwe o tlaa okelediwa, o tlaa nna le go le go tona; mme yo o senang sepe o tlaa tseelwa le bonnyenyane jo a nang najo. Ke sone se ke dirisang ditshwantsho tse ka sone, jalo he batho ba tlaa utlwa, ba bo ba bona, mme ga ba kitla ba tlhaloganya.”
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but not perceive.
“Mo go diragatsa seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se reng, ‘Ba a utlwa, mme ga ba tlhaloganye; ba a leba mme ga ba bone.
15 For the heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
Gonne dipelo tsa bone di thata, ditsebe tsa bone di kabetse, mme ba ipuduladitse mo borokong.
16 "But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Jalo ga ba kitla ba bona le go utlwa le go tlhaloganya le go boela kwa Modimong gape, le go ntetla go ba fodisa.’ Mme go sego matlho a lona gonne lo a bona; le ditsebe tsa lona gonne di a utlwa.
17 For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
Baporofiti ba le bantsi le batho ba ba boifang Modimo ba tlhologeletswe go bona dilo tse lo di bonyeng, le go utlwa dilo tse lo di utlwileng, mme ga ba a ka ba di utlwa le fa e le go di bona.
18 "Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
“Jaanong tlhaloso ya polelo e ke e lo boleletseng kaga molemi a jala ke e:
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
tsela e e kwakwaletseng e peo e nngwe e neng ya wela mo go yone e raya pelo ya motho yo o utlwang mafoko a a molemo kaga Bogosi mme a ba a sa a tlhaloganye; mme Satane a ba a tla a phamola peo mo pelong ya gagwe.
20 And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
Mmu o o maje o o motlhofo o raya pelo ya motho yo o utlwang molaetsa a ba a o amogela ka boitumelo,
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
mme a se na modi mo botshelong jwa gagwe, le peo ga e tlhogele kwa teng, mme e re moragonyana fa matshwenyego a tla, kgotsa pogiso e simologa ka ntlha ya tumelo ya gagwe, tlhoafalo ya gagwe e swe, a ba a we mo tumelong.
22 And what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Mmu o o tlhogileng o o khurumeditsweng ke mitlwa o raya motho yo o utlwang molaetsa, mme ditlhobaelo tsa botshelo le keletso ya gagwe ya madi di hupetse Lefoko la Modimo, mme a direle Modimo ka boutsana. (aiōn g165)
23 And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
Mmu o o siameng o raya pelo ya motho yo o reetsang molaetsa a ba a o tlhaloganya a tswela kwa ntle a ya go lere ba bangwe ba le masome mararo, masome marataro kgotsa lekgolo mo Bogosing.”
24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
Setshwantsho se sengwe ke se, se Jesu o neng a se dirisa: “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le molemi a jala peo e e siameng mo tshimong ya gagwe.
25 but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
Mme ya re bosigo bongwe a robetse, mmaba wa gagwe a tla a jala mhero mo gare ga mabele.
26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
Erile dijalo di simolola go tlhoga, mhero le one wa tlhoga.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
“Batlhanka ba mong wa tshimo ba tla ba mmolelela ba re,
28 "And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
“Mmaba ke ene a dirileng jalo, mme ba mo raya ba re, ‘A re ka kumula mhero?’
29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
“Mme a fetola a re, ‘Nyaa lo tlaa utlwisa mabele botlhoko fa lo dira jalo.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
Lesang gotlhe go gole mmogo go fitlhelela motlha wa thobo, mme ke tlaa raya barobi ba kokoanya mhero ba o tshuba, ba baya mabele mo ntlung ya polokelo’.”
31 He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
Sengwe sa ditshwantsho tsa gagwe ke se: “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le peo e nnyennyane ya mosetara e e lemilweng mo tshimong. Ke peo e potlana mo dipeung tsotlhe, mme e nna setlhare se se tona mo ditlhareng tsotlhe, se be se gole go nna setlhare se dinonyane di ka tlang tsa aga mo go sone.”
32 which indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
33 He spoke another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened."
Gape o dirisa sekai se: “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo ka tshwantshiwa le mosadi a dira senkgwe. O tsaya selekanyo sa bopi a se tlhakanye mo sebidisong go fitlhelela se tlhakatlhakana le bopi.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
Jesu o na a dirisa ditshwantsho tse gangwe le gape ka tlhaloso fa a bua le bontsintsi jwa batho. Tota le gone ka gore baporofiti ba ne ba boletse gore o tlaa dirisa di le dintsi, o na a seke a bua le bone kwa ntleng ga go dirisa setshwantsho. Gonne go no ga porofitwa gatwe, “Ke tlaa bua ka ditshwanatsho, ke tlaa tlhalosa dikgakgamatso tse di saleng di lojwa go tswa kwa tshimologong.”
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
Mme erile a tlogela matshwititshwiti kwa ntle a tsena mo tlung. Barutwa ba gagwe ba mo kopa gore a ba tlhalosetse polelo ya mhero le mabele.
37 And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
A re, “Go siame”. Ke nna molemi yo o jalang peo e siameng.
38 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children of the evil one,
“Tshimo e emetse lefatshe ka bophara, mme peo e emetse batho ba Bogosi jwa Legodimo mme mhero ke batho ba ga Satane.
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
Mmaba yo o jalang mhero mo mabeleng ke Diabole; thobo ke bokhutlo jwa lefatshe mme barobi ke baengele. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
“Fela jaaka ere mo polelong e, mhero o bo o tlosiwa mo mabeleng o ba o tshujwa, go tlaa nna fela jalo ka bokhutlo jwa lefatshe. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
Ke tlaa romela baengele bame mme ba tlaa tlosa mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo, thaelo nngwe le nngwe le botlhe ba ba boleo,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
mme ba ba latlhele mo moubeng ba ba tshube. Go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Jalo ba ba itshepileng ba tlaa phatsima jaaka letsatsi mo Bogosing jwa ga Rraabo. A ba ba nang le tsebe ba utlwe!
44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
“Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le letlotlo le monna mongwe a neng a le bona mo tshimong. Monna yo, erile ka go tsenekega, a rekisa ditsagagwe tsotlhe gore a tle a reke tshimo a bo a rue letlotlo leo.
45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
“Gape, Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le morekisi wa mekgabisa (diperela) mme a tsoma tsa marata-go-lejwa.
46 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
O ne a bona ya botlhokwa, e e tlhotlhwa kgolo—mme a rekisa gotlhe mo a neng a na nago gore a tle a e reke.
47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
“Gape, Bogosi jwa legodimo bo ka tshwantshanngwa le motshwara-ditlhapi, yo o latlhelang letloa la gagwe mo metsing a ba a tshwara methalethale ya ditlhapi, dingwe di le tlhotlhwa kgolo tse dingwe di sena tiro. Fa letloa le tletse, o le gogela fa lotshitshing, a nna fatshe a tlhopha tse di ka nnang monate a bo a di paka mo matloleng mme tse dingwe a di latlhela koo.
48 which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Go tlaa nna fela jalo ka bokhutlo jwa lefatshebaengele ba tlaa tla go tlhopha baikepi mo baitsheping, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
ba latlhela ba ba bosula mo moleting. Go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno.
51 "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
A lo a utlwisisa?” Mme ba araba ba re, “Ee re a utlwisisa!”
52 And he said to them, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
Mme o ne a tswelela a re, “Baitseanape ba molao wa Sejuta ba jaanong e leng barutwa ba me ba humile ntlheng tsotlhe-ebong mo kitsong ya Testamente E Kgologolo le mo go ya e Ntsha.”
53 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Erile Jesu a sena go bolela dipolelo tse, a boela kwa ga gabo kwa Nasaretha mo Galalea mme a ruta mo ntlung ya thuto mo a gakgamaditseng batho ka botlhale jwa gagwe le dikgakgamatso.
54 And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
Batho ba ne ba ipotsa ba re, “A ke gone? Ke ngwana fela wa mmetli, le Marea mmaagwe re a mo itse le bomorwarraagwe bo Jakoba, Josefa, Simone le Jutase.
56 And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
Le bokgaitsadie, botlhe ba nna mono. O ka tuma jang mo go kanakana?”
57 And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
Mme ba mo shakgalela. Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Moporofiti o tlotlwa gongwe le gongwe, fa ese kwa ga gabo a bile a nyadiwa ke ba ga gabo.”
58 And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Jalo o ne a dira dikgakgamatso di se kaenyana fela, ka ntata ya go tlhoka tumelo ga bone.
