Mark 10
1 Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.
Erile a tloga mo Kaperanama a ya ntlheng ya Borwa kwa melelwaneng ya Judea le mo kgaolong ya botlhabatsatsi jwa Noka ya Jorodane. Fela jaaka gale ga bo go le matshutitshuti a batho mme a ba ruta.
2 [While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].
Bangwe ba Bafarasai ba tla kwa go ene ba mmotsa ba re, “A o letlelela tlhalo?” le fa go ntse jalo ba ne ba leka go mo lalela.
3 He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Moshe o ne a reng ka ga tlhalo?”
4 [One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”
Ba araba ba re, “O rile e siame.” O rile, “Se se tlhokafalang ke gore monna a kwalele mosadi lokwalo lwa tlhalo.”
5 Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!
Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Mme o ne a buelang jalo? Ke tla lo bolelela gore ke ka ntlha yang fa a ne a bua jalo. Ke ka ntlha ya boikepo jwa bopeloethata jwa lona.
6 [Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].
Mme tota ga se ka fa tseleng ya Modimo, gonne e rile mo tshimologong O dirile monna le mosadi go ba kopanya go nnela ruri mo nyalong; ke gone ka moo monna o tlaa tlogelang rraagwe le mmaagwe,
7 That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].
8 Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].
mme ene le mosadi wa gagwe ba kopane gore ba se nne bobedi, fa e se bongwe fela.
9 Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”
Mme ke gone go seng ope yo o tshwanetseng go kgaoganya se Modimo o se kopantseng.”
10 When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
Ya re morago, a le nosi le barutwa ba gagwe mo tlung, ba lere kgang eo.
11 He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
Mme a ba raya a re, “Fa monna a tlhala mosadi wa gagwe a nyala o sele, o a mo akafalela.
12 [God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
Mme fa mosadi a tlhala monna wa gagwe a nyalwa gape, le ene o dira boaka.”
13 [One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
E rile ka nako nngwe fa bomma-bana ba lere bana ba bone kwa go Jesu gore a ba segofatse, barutwa ba ba leleka, ba ba raya ba re ba seka ba mo tshwenya.
14 When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].
Mme e rile Jesu a bona se se diragalang o ne a seka a itumedisiwa ke barutwa ba gagwe mme a ba raya a re, “Lesang bana ba tle kwa go nna, gonne Bogosi jwa Modimo ke jwa ba ba ntseng jalo. Se ba lelekeng!
15 Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”
Ke lo bolelela ka tlhoafalo jaaka ke itse gore fa mongwe a gana go tla mo Modimong jaaka ngwana yo monnye ga a kitla a letlelelwa go tsena mo Bogosing jwa One.”
16 Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
Hong a tsaya bana ka mabogo a gagwe a ba baya diatla a ba segofatsa.
17 As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
E rile fa a simolola go tsaya loeto, monna mongwe a tla a tabogela kwa go ene a khubama ka mangole a re, “Moruti yo o molemo, ke tshwanetse gore ke direng go tsena kwa legodimong?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?) [RHQ] No other person is good
Jesu a mmotsa a re, “Ke ka ntlha yang fa o mpitsa mosiami?
19 [But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”
Mme mo karabong ya potso ya gago o itse ditaolo tse di reng, o seka wa bolaya, o seka wa dira boaka, o seka wa utswa, o seka wa bua maaka, o seka wa tsietsa, tlotla rrago le mmago.”
20 The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”
Monna a araba a re, “Moruti, ga ke ise ke ko ke tlole le fa e le o le mongwe fela wa melao eo.”
21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”
Mme Jesu a ikutlwa a rata monna yo fa a mo leba, a mo raya a re, “O tlhoka selo se le sengwe fela, tsamaya o ye go rekisa dilo tsotlhe tse o nang natso mme o tseye madi o a abele bahumanegi mme o tlaa nna le khumo kwa legodimong, mme o tle o ntshale morago.”
22 The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].
Mme sefatlhogo sa monna sa sulafala, a tsamaya ka kutlobotlhoko, gonne o ne a humile thata.
23 Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
Jesu a mo lebelela a tsamaya, hong a retologa a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Ga go motlhofo gore mohumi a tsene mo Bogosing jwa Modimo!”
24 The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.
Mme mafoko a, a ba gakgamatsa. Hong Jesu a boelela mafoko a gape a re, “Bana ba ba rategang, go thata jang mo go ba ba ikantseng dikhumo go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo.
25 It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Go motlhofo mo kammeleng go tsena ka leroba la nnale go na le mohumi go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo.”
26 The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
Mme go ne ga nna thata, gore barutwa ba dumele mafoko ao. Hong ba botsa ba re, “Mme he, e be e le mang mo lefatsheng yo o ka bolokwang fa mohumi a sa bolokwe?”
27 Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
Jesu a ba tsepega matlho a re, “Kwa ntle ga Modimo go retetse. Mme mo Modimong sengwe le sengwe se a direga.”
28 Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
Hong Petere a simolola go bolela kaga tsotlhe tse ene le barutwa ba bangwe ba di tlogetseng a re, “Re tlogetse sengwe le sengwe go go sala morago.”
29 Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
Mme Jesu a araba a re, “Mma ke go tlhomamisetse gore ga go na ope yo o tlogetseng sepe, ebong legae, bokgaitsadie, bomorwa rraagwe, mmaagwe, rraagwe, bana kgotsa dithoto tsa gagwe, ka ntlha ya go nthata le go bolelela ba bangwe kaga mafoko a me a a Molemo,
30 will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
Bontsi jwa batho ba ba bonalang e ka re ba tlhokwa jaanong jaana ba tlaa nna ba ba botlana ka nako eo, mme ba bantsi ba ba bonalang ba le ba botlana fano ba tlaa nna bagolo ka nako eo.”
32 [Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
Mme ya re ba le mo tseleng ba ya Jerusalema, Jesu a ba eteletse pele barutwa ba gagwe ba mo setse morago ba tlelwa ke poifo. Hong Jesu a ba tseela kwa thoko, a simolola gape go ba tlhalosetsa gotlhe mo go tlaa mo diragalelang fa ba goroga kwa Jerusalema.
33 “Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
A ba raya a re, “E tlaa re re tsena teng. Nna, Mesia ke tlaa tshwarwa ke isiwa fa pele ga baperesiti ba bagolo le bagolwane ba Bajuta ba ba tlaa nkatlholelang loso ba bo ba neele Baroma go mpolaya.
34 Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
Ba tlaa ntshotla, ba nkgwele mathe ba mpetse ka dithupa tsa bone; mme morago ga malatsi a mararo ke tlaa rula.”
35 [Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
Hong Jakobe le Johane, bomorwa Sebede, ba tla ba bua le ene ka lentswe le le kwa tlase ba re, “Morena, re batla gore o re direle ka fa re batlang ka teng.”
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo batla ke lo direla eng?”
37 They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
Ba mo raya ba re, “Re batla go nna mo ditilong tsa bogosi re bapa nao mo bogosing jwa gago, yo mongwe ka fa letsogong la gago le legolo yo mongwe ka fa letsogong la gago la molema!”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
Mme Jesu a araba a re, “Ga lo itse se lo se lopang! A lo nonofile go nwa mo senwelong se se botlhoko sa khutsafalo se ke tshwanetseng go nwa mo go sone? Kgotsa go kolobediwa ka kolobetso ya pogisego e ke tshwanetseng go kolobediwa ka yone?”
39 They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
Ba mo raya ba re, “Ee, re nonofile!” Mme Jesu a re, “Lo tlaa nwa mo senwelong se ke nwang mo go sone lo bo lo kolobediwa ka kolobetso ya me e ke kolobeditsweng ka yone,
40 But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
mme ga ke na thata ya go lo baya mo ditilong tsa bogosi go bapa le sa me. Ba ba tshwanetseng ba setse ba go baakanyeditswe.”
41 The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
Fa ba bangwe ba barutwa ba tla go lemoga se Jakobe le Johane ba se lopileng, ba kgotswa thata.
42 Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
Hong Jesu a ba biletsa kwa go ene mme a re, “Lo a itse fa dikgosi le banna ba bagolo ba lefatshe ba laola batho;
43 But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
mme mo go lona go pharologanyo. Le fa e le mang yo o ratang go nna mogolo mo go lona o tshwanetse go nna motlhanka wa lona.
44 Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
Mme le fa e le mang yo o ratang go ka nna mogolo mo go botlhe o tshwanetse go nna motlhanka wa botlhe.
45 [You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
Gonne le nna tota, Mesia, ga ke fano go tla go direlwa fa e se go thusa ba bangwe, le go ntsha botshelo jwa me gore e nne thekololo ya batho ba le bantsi.”
46 [On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
Mme ba fitlha kwa Jeriko. Ya re morago fa ba tloga mo motseng bontsi jwa batho jo bogolo jwa ba sala morago. Hong ga diragala gore monna wa sefofu wa mokopi yo o bidiwang Baratimaio (morwa Timaio) a ba a ntse fa thoko ga tsela fa Jesu a feta.
47 When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
Mme e rile fa Baratimaio a utlwa gore Jesu wa Nasaretha o gaufi a simolola go goa, a re, “Jesu Morwa Dafide, nkutlwela botlhoko!”
48 Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
Mme batho bangwe ba mo kgalemela ba re, “Didimala!” Mme a goa segolo bogolo gangwe le gape a re, “Ao! Morwa Dafide, nkutlwela botlhoko!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
Erile Jesu a mo utlwa a ema foo mo tseleng, mme a re, “Mo reyeng lo re a tle kwano.” Hong ba bitsa monna wa sefofu. Ba re, “Heela wena yo o letlhogonolo, tla Jesu o a go bitsa.”
50 He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
Hong Baratimaio a apola seaparo sa gagwe se segologolo a se latlhela kwa thoko, a tlola a tla kwa go Jesu.
51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
Jesu a mmotsa a re, “O batla ke go direla eng?” Monna wa sefofu a araba a re, “Moruti, ke batla go bona.”
52 Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
Jesu a mo raya a re, “Gotlhe go siame, go diragetse. Tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse.” E rile gone fela foo monna wa sefofu a bona, a sala Jesu morago mo tseleng!
