Matthew 10
1 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
Jesu a ipiletsa barutwa ba ba lesome le bobedi, mme a ba naya taolo go kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe ntle le go fodisa malwetse mangwe le mangwe le dipobolo.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Maina a barutwa ba gagwe ba ba lesome le bobedi ke a; Simone yo o bidiwang Petere, Anderea monnaa Petere; Jakobe morwa Sebede, Johane monnaa Jakobe,
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Filipo, Baretholomica, Thomase, Mathaio wa mokgethisi, Jakobe morwa Alefaio, Thadaeo,
4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Simone (leloko la “diganka” tsa mokgatlho wa dipolotiki o o neng o batla go diga puso), Judase Isekariota yo o neng a mo oka.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into [any] way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans:
Jesu o ne a ba roma ka ditaelo tse; “Se yeng kwa go Badichaba kgotsa Basamaria,
6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
mme yang fela kwa bathung ba Iseraela; dinku tsa Modimo tse di latlhegileng.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Tsamayang lo anamise mo go bone gore Bogosi jwa legodimo bo atametse.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely ye received, freely give.
“Fodisang ba ba lwalang, tsosang baswi, fodisang balepero, lo bo lo kgoromeletse mewa e e maswe kwa ntle. Nayang fela jaaka lo amogetse fela.
9 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;
“Se tseyeng madi mo dipateng fa lo tsamaya;
10 no wallet for [your] journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the labourer is worthy of his food.
lo se ka lwa tsaya le fa e le kgetsi ya diaparo e na le diaparo tse dingwe le ditlhako, le fa e le seikokotlelo, gonne ba lo ba thusang ba tshwanetse go lo otla le go lo tlhokomela.
11 And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth.
Nako le nako fa lo tsena mo motseng le mo metsaneng, senkang motho yo o boifang Modimo lo nne mo legaeng la gagwe go fitlhelela lo tswela kwa motseng o mongwe.
12 And as ye enter into the house, salute it.
Fa lo kopa tetlelelo ya go nna, nnang botsalano le batho.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Mme fa le itshupa e le legae la SeModimo, le segofatseng, fa go sa nna jalo, nnang ka tshegofatso ya lona.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Motse mongwe le mongwe kgotsa legac le le sa lo amogeleng sentle, lo itlhotlhore lorole lwa lefelo leo mo dinaong tsa lona fa lo tsamaya.
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Ammaaruri, metse e e maswe ya Sodoma le Gomora e tlaa nna botoka bogolo go metse eo ka Letsatsi la Katlholo.
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
“Ke lo roma jaaka dinku mo gare ga diphiri. Nnang botlhale jaaka dinoga le bori jaaka maphoi.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you;
Mme itlhokomeleng! Gonne lo tlaa tshwarwa, lo sekisiwa lo kgwathisiwa mo matlung a thuto.
18 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
“Ee, lo tshwanetse go emela tshekiso fa pele ga balaodi le dikgosi ka ntlha ya me. Mo go tlaa lo neela lobaka lwa go ba bolelela ka ga me, ee, go supegetsa lefatshe.
19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.
“Fa lo tshwarwa, se tshwenyegeng gore lo tlaa reng mo tshekong, gonne lo tlaa newa mafoko a a tshwanetseng ka nako e e tshwanetseng.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
Gonne e tlaa bo e se lona ba lo buang; e tlaa bo e le Mowa wa ga Rraeno wa legodimo o bua ka lona.
21 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
“Motho o tlaa okela morwa rraagwe losung, mme borabana ba tlaa oka bana ba bone. Mme bana ba tlaa tsogologela batsadi ba bone ba ba neela losung.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
Mongwe le mongwe o tlaa lo ila ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me. Mme lotlhe ba lo itshokang go ya bokhutlong lo tlaa bolokwa.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
“Fa lo bogisiwa mo motseng mongwe, tshabelang kwa go o mongwe! Ke tlaa boa pele ga lo tsena mo go yone yotlhe!
24 A disciple is not above his master, nor a servant above his lord.
Morutwana ga a mogolo go feta moruti wa gagwe. Motlhanka ga a mogolo go mong wa gagwe.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household!
Morutwana o tshwanetse go gata mo dikgatong tsa yo o mo rutang, motlhanka a latele mong wa gagwe. Mme fa ba reile nna mong wa ntlo lona jaanong go tlaa nna jang!
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
“Mme lo se ka lwa boifa ba ba lo bopelang. Gonne nako e e tla e boammaaruri bo tlaa senolwang ka yone: merero ya bone ya sephiri e tlaa itsiwe ke batho botlhe.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
Se ke se lo bolelelang mo lefifing jaanong jaana, se phatlalatseng kgakala fa bosigo bo o sa! Se ke se sebelang mo ditsebeng tsa lona, se phatlalatseng lo le mo ditlhoeng tsa matlo!
28 And be not afraid of them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
“Se boifeng ba ba ka bolayang mebele ya lona fela; mme ba ka seka ba ama mewa ya lona! Boifang Modimo fela o o nonofileng go ka nyeletsa mowa le mmele mo moleting. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:
Ga go thaga (kana di ja bokae? A di ja thebe di le pedi?) e e welang fa fatshe Rraeno wa Legodimo a sa itse.
30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Mme le e leng meriri ya ditlhogo tsa lona tota e badilwe yotlhe.
31 Fear not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Ke gone se tshwenyegeng! Lona lo botlhokwa thata mo Modimong go feta dithaga tse dintsi.
32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which is in heaven.
“Fa mongwe fela a mpolela mo mpepeneneng e le tsala yame ke tlaa mmolela ele tsala yame fa pele ga ga Rre yo o kwa legodimong.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Mme fa mongwe a intatola mo mpepeneneng, ke tlaa mo itatola mo mpepeneneng fa pele ga ga Rre yo o kwa Legodimong.
34 Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
“Se gopoleng gore ke tletse go lere kagiso mo lefatsheng! Nnyaa fa e se chaka.
35 For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:
Ke tletse go lotlhanya motho le rraagwe, mosetsana le mmaagwe, ngwetsi le matsalaa yone.
36 and a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household.
“Bana ba motho ba ba maswe go fetisa selekanyo ba tlaa bo ba le mo ntlung ya gagwe tota.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Fa o rata rrago le mmago go gaisa jaaka o nthata, ga o a tshwanela go nna wa me; kgotsa fa o rata morwao kgotsa morwadio go mpheta, ga o a tshwanela go nna wa me.
38 And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Fa o gana go itshikarela mokgoro o ntshala morago, ga o a tshwanela go nna wa me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Fa o ngaparela botshelo jwa gago, bo tlaa go latlhegela, mme yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo jwa gagwe ka ntlha ya me, o tlaa bo boloka.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
“Ba ba lo tsholang ‘sentle ba tshola nna. Mme fa ba ntshola ba tshola Modimo oo nthomileng’.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
Fa lo tshola moporofiti ka ntlha ya gore ke monna wa Modimo, lo tlaa newa tuelo e moporofiti o e bonang. Mme fa lo amogela batho ba ba siameng, ba ba boifang Modimo ka ntlha ya boModimo jwa bone, lo tlaa newa tuelo e e tshwanang le ya bone.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Mme fa lo siela ngwanyana kopi ya metse a a tsididi lo le baemedi ba me, ruri lo tlaa duelwa.”
