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.
Then He said to the disciples: “Things that cause people to fall are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do 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 would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall.
Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, 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.”
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in that day returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
5 Ka letsatsi lengwe Baaposetoloi ba raya Morena ba re, “Re tlhoka tumelo e kgolo; re ka e bona jang?”
The apostles said to 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!
So the Lord said: “If you had faith like a mustard seed has, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be 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.
“And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?
Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
10 Fela jalo, fa lo nkutlwa, ga lo a tshwanela go galalediwa. Gonne lo dirile tiro ya lona!”
So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’”
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,
Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between 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 a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.
13 ba goa ba re, “Jesu, Morena, re utlwele botlhoko!”
They called out, 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 paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that 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!”
Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;
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.
then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—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?
So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?
18 A ke Modichaba yo fela yo o boileng go tla go galaletsa Modimo?”
None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
19 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ema o tsamaye tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse.”
Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
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.
Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said: “The Kingdom of God does not come 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.”
nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed 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.”
Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of the Man, and you will 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 will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
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.
Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of the Man be in His day.
25 Mme pele ke tshwanetse go sotlega thata le go ganwa ke sechaba se sotlhe.
But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “[E tlaa re fa ke boa] lefatshe le tlaa [tlhokomologa dilo tsa Modimo] jaaka batho ba lobaka lwa ga Noa.
Also, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of the 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 were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered 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 also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—
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 on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Ee, go tlaa ‘bo go berekwa’ jaaka gale go fitlhelela lobaka lwa go boa ga me.
Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the 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 who is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to get them; and likewise he who is in the field, let him not turn 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.
Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will 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 tell you: on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other 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.”
Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other 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!”
They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”
