< Matthew 8 >

1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa sala Jesu mora-go fa a fologa mo mhapheng wa lentswe.
2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
Mme bonang! Molepero a atamela. A-khubama fa pele ga gagwe a obama a mo rapela a re, “Rra, fa o rata o ka mphodisa.”
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Mme Jesu a mo tshwara a mo raya a re “Ke a rata, fola.” Mme gone fela foo lepero la nyelela.
4 Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “O se ka wa bolelela ope; tlhamalalela kwa moperesiting go ya go tlhatlhojwa; mme o tlaa ntsha mpho e e batlwang ka molao wa ga Moshe wa balepero ba ba fodisitsweng, ebong bosupi jwa phatlhalatsa jwa gore o fodisitswe.”
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
Erile Jesu a goroga mo Kaperanama, mogolwane wa sesole sa Roma a tla kwa go ene mme a mo rapela go ya kwa lwapeng lwa gagwe go fodisa motlhanka wa gagwe wa mosimane yo o neng a le mo bolaong a bolawa ke bolwetse jwa teteselo a tlhoafaditswe ke setlhabi.
6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Ke tlaa tla go mo fodisa.”
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Mme mogolwane a re, “Rra ga ke a lekana go go tseela kwa lwapeng lwa me gape ga go tlhokafale gore o tle. Fa o ka nna fela fa mme wa re, ‘Fola’, motlhanka wa me o tlaa fola!
9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Ke a itse, ka gore ke ka fa tlase ga taolo ya baeteledipele ba me ba bagolo mme ke na le taolo mo masoleng a me, mme ke raya lengwe ke re, ‘Tsamaya’ mme le tsamaye, mme ke reye le lengwe ke re, ‘Tla’ mme le tle, mme ke reye motlhanka wa me wa mosimane ke re, ‘Dira se kgotsa sele’ mme a se dire. Mme ke itse gore o na le thata ya go raya bolwetse jwa gagwe o re bo tsamaye mme bo tlaa tsamaya.”
10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.
Jesu a nna foo a akabetse! Mme a retologela kwa bontsintsing jwa batho a re, “Ga ke ise ke ke ke bone tumelo e e tshwanang le e mo Iseraele!
11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Mme ke lo bolelela se, Badichaba ba le bantsi jaaka mogolwane yo wa Roma, ba tlaa tswa mo tikologong yotlhe ya lefatshe ba nna fa fatshe mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo le Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe.
12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Baiseraele ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba baakanyeditswe Bogosi, ba tlaa lelekelwa mo lefifing le le kwa ntle, mo felong ga selelo le tlhokofatso”.
13 Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.
Hong Jesu a raya mogolwane wa Roma a re, “Tsamaya o ye lwapeng. Se o se dumetseng se diragetse!” Mme mosimane a fola ka yone nako eo.
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
Erile Jesu a goroga kwa tlung ya ga Petere, mogwagwadia Petere wa mosadi o ne a le mo bolaong a tshwere ke letshoroma.
15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
Mme erile fa Jesu a tshwara lebogo la gagwe, letshoroma la mo tlogela; mme a ema a ba baakanyetsa dijo.
16 When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
Mo maitseboeng ao batho ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba tsenywe ke mewa e e maswe ba leriwe kwa go Jesu; mme ya re a bua lefoko le le lengwe; mewa e e maswe yotlhe ya sia; mme botlhe ba ba neng ba lwala ba fola.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
Mo ga diragatsa seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se reng, “O na a tsaya malwetse a rona, a rwala dipobolo tsa rona.”
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
Fa Jesu a lemoga ka fa bontsintsi jwa batho bo neng bo gola ka teng, o na a laela barutwa ba gagwe gore ba ipaakanyetse go kgabaganyetsa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
Ka yone nako eo mongwe wa baruti ba tumelo ya Sejuda a mo raya a re, “Moruti, ke tlaa go sala morago, ga gore sepe gore o ya kae!”
20 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Mme Jesu a re, “Bophokoje ba na le mesima le dinonyane di na le dintlhaga, mme nna Morwa Motho, ga ke na legae le e leng la me, ga go na fa nka latsang tlhogo gone.”
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Morena, mma ke tsamaye pele ke ye go fitlha rre.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ntshala morago! Lesa ba ba suleng mo moweng ba tlhokomele baswi ba bone.”
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Mme a tsena mo mokorong a simolola go kgabaganya lecha le barutwa ba gagwe.
24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.
Ka tshoganyetso ga tsoga setsuatsue se segolo, makhubu a goletsegile go feta mokoro. Mme Jesu o ne a robetse.
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
Barutwa ba ya kwa go ene ba feta ba mo tsosa, ba gowa ba re, “Morena, re boloke! Re a nwela!”
26 He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ao batho ba tumelo e potlana! Ke eng fa lo tshogile jaana?” Hong a ema a kgalemela phefo le makhubu, mme ga nna tuulalo e kgolo.
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Barutwa ba nna fela foo ba reregile! ba botsanya ba re, “Motho yo ke mang, yo le e leng diphefo tota le lewatle di mo reetsang?”
28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
Erile ba goroga ka fa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha mo lefatshing la Bagadara, banna ba le babedi ba ba tsenyweng ke mewa e e maswe ba mo kgatlhantsha. Ba ne ba nna mo diphupung ba le diphatsa thata mo motho ope o neng a ka se ka a ralala golo foo.
29 Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
Mme ba simolola go goela kwa go ene ba re, “O batlang mo go rona, wena Morwa Modimo? Ga o ise o nne le tshwanelo ya go re tlhokofatsa.”
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
Serapa sa dikolobe se ne se fula kgakalanyana.
31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
Jalo mewa e e maswe ya kopa ya re fa o re “kgoromeletsa ntle re, lelekele mo serapeng sele sa dikolobe.”
32 He said to them, “Go!” They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water.
Jesu a e raya a re, “Go siame, tsamayang” mme ya tswa mo banneng ya tsena mo dikolobeng, mme serapa sotlhe sa kgokologa mo thoteng ka bofefo sa wela mo metsing kwa tlase.
33 Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
Mme badisa ba tsone ba sianela kwa motseng o o gaufi go ya go bolela kaga se se diragetseng.
34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
Mme batho botlhe ba motse ba sianela go tla go bona Jesu, ba mo kopa gore a tsamaye a ba tlogele ba le bosi.
