Luke 17
1 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Go tlaa aga go le dithaelo tsa go leofa, mme a bo go latlhega motho yo o raelang.
And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 Fa a ne a latlhetswe mo lewatleng ka lentswe le legolo le fapeletswe mo molaleng wa gagwe, o ne a ka bo a le botoka thata go na le go otlhaelwa go tlhokofatsa mewa ya ba bannye ba. Ke a lo tlhagisa! Kgalemela morwa-rrago fa a leofa mme o mo itshwarele fa a ipona molato.
It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 Le fa a go leofela ga supa ka letsatsi mme nako nngwe le nngwe a boela go wena a kopa maitshwarelo, mo itshwarele.”
And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 Ka letsatsi lengwe Baaposetoloi ba raya Morena ba re, “Re tlhoka tumelo e kgolo; re ka e bona jang?”
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 Jesu a ba araba a re, “Fa tumelo ya lona e le selekanyo sa peo ya mosetara, e tlaa bo e le kgolo thata go kumula setlhare se se kwa sele sa mosikamine le go se tlhoma mo teng ga lewatle! Taolo ya lona e ne e ka diragala ka bofefo!
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
7 Fa motlhanka a tswa go lema kgotsa a tswa go disa dinku, ga a nne fela fa fatshe a a ja, mme pele o baakanyetsa mong wa gagwe dijo tsa maitseboa pele ga a a ja tsa gagwe. Mme ga a lebogwe, gonne o dira se a tshwanetseng go se dira.
But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;
and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
10 Fela jalo, fa lo nkutlwa, ga lo a tshwanela go galalediwa. Gonne lo dirile tiro ya lona!”
Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
11 E rile ba ntse ba tsweletse mo loetong lwa go ya Jerusalema, ba tsena fa molelwaneng o o fa gare ga Galalea le Samarea,
And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12 mme ya re ba tsena mo motsaneng oo, baleperwa ba le some ba bo ba emetse kwa kgakajana,
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:
13 ba goa ba re, “Jesu, Morena, re utlwele botlhoko!”
and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Mme a ba leba a re, “Tsamayang lo ye kwa moperesiting wa Sejuta lo mo supegetse gore lo fodisitswe!” Mme ya re ba tsamaya, boleperwa jwa bone jwa nyelela!
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Mme mongwe wa bone a boela kwa go Jesu a goa a re, “A go galalediwe Modimo, ke fodisitswe!”
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
16 A wela fa fatshe fa pele ga dinao tsa ga Jesu, a lebile fa fatshe mo loroleng a lebogela se a se dirileng. Monna yo e ne e le Mosamarea yo o nyatsegileng.
and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “A ga ke a fodisa banna ba le lesome? Ba ba ferang bongwe ba kae?
And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 A ke Modichaba yo fela yo o boileng go tla go galaletsa Modimo?”
Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?
19 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ema o tsamaye tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse.”
And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Bafarasai ba botsa Jesu ba re, “Bogosi jwa Modimo bo tlaa simologa leng? Jesu a ba fetola a re, Bogosi jwa Modimo ga bo tle ka ditshupo tse di bonalang.
And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Ga lo ka ke lwa kgona gore lo re, ‘Bo simologile fano mo lefelong le kgotsa kwa ntlheng ele ya lefatshe’. Gonne Bogosi jwa Modimo bo mo go lona.”
neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 Mme morago a bua gape kaga selo se le barutwa ba gagwe. A ba raya a re, “Lobaka lo e tla lo lo tlaa ntlhoafalelang ka lone go nna le lona le fa e le letsatsi le le lengwe fela mme ke tlaa bo ke seyo fa.”
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 “Dipolelo di tlaa tla mo go lona tsa gore ke boile le gore ke mo lefelong le kgotsa le; mme lo se ka lwa di dumela kgotsa lwa ya go mpatla.
And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after [them]:
24 Gonne e tlaa re fa ke boa, lo tlaa itse kwa ntle ga pelaelo epe. Ke tlaa bo ke tshwana le logadima lo lo phatsimang go kgabaganya loapi.
for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 Mme pele ke tshwanetse go sotlega thata le go ganwa ke sechaba se sotlhe.
But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
26 “[E tlaa re fa ke boa] lefatshe le tlaa [tlhokomologa dilo tsa Modimo] jaaka batho ba lobaka lwa ga Noa.
And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 Ba ne ba a ja, ba a nwa, ba nyala, sengwe le sengwe se siame go fitlhelela letsatsi le Noa o neng a tsena mo tlung e e kokobalang ka lone mme morwalela wa tla wa senya botlhe.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 “Mme lefatshe le tlaa nna jaaka mo metlheng ya ga Lote: Batho ba ne ba dira ditiro tsa bone tsa letsatsi le letsatsi, ba a nwa ba a ja, ba reka ba rekisa, ba tlhoma ditlhare ba aga,
Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 go fitlhelela mo mosong o Lote o neng a tswa mo Sodoma. Hong molelo le sebabole tse di neng di tswa kwa legodimong tsa ba nyeletsa botlhe.
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
30 Ee, go tlaa ‘bo go berekwa’ jaaka gale go fitlhelela lobaka lwa go boa ga me.
after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
31 “Ba ba tlaa bong ba se mo lwapeng ka letsatsi leo ba seka ba ya go phutha; ba ba mo nageng ba se ka ba boela kwa motsing.
In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
32 Gakologelwang se se neng sa diragalela mosadi wa ga Lote!
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Le fa e le mang yo o ngaparetseng botshelo jwa gagwe bo tlaa mo latlhegela mme le fa e le mang yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo jwa gagwe o tlaa bo boloka.
Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose [his life] shall preserve it.
34 Mo bosigong joo banna ba le babedi ba tlaa bo ba robetse mo tlung e le nngwe mme mongwe o tlaa tsewa yo mongwe a tlogelwe.
I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Basadi ba le babedi ba tlaa bo ba dira botlhe mo tlung; yo mongwe o tlaa tsewa, yo mongwe o tlaa tlogelwa; mme go tlaa nna fela jalo mo banneng ba ba dirang ba bapile mo tshimong.”
There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
37 Mme barutwa ba botsa ba re, “Morena, ba tlaa bo ba isiwa kae?” Jesu a fetola a re, “Kwa setoto se leng gone, manong a phuthegela gone!”
And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body [is], thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
