Luke 19
1 Mme ya re a feta mo Jeriko, monna mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Sakaio, yo e neng e le mongwe wa batlhotlheletsi ba Sejuta mo papading ya go phutha lekgetho la Seroma (ebile e le mohumi),
And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
And lo! a man named Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.
3 a leka go bona Jesu mme a ba a le mokhutshwane thata go mmona mo bontsintsing jwa batho.
And he sought to see Jesus, what sort of man he was; and he could not on account of the multitude; because he was small of stature.
4 Mme a sianela kwa pele a palama setlhare sa mosikamore fa thoko ga tsela, a lebelela a le koo.
And he ran on before, and climbed up a sycamore-tree to see him; for he was to pass that way.
5 E rile Jesu a feta foo a lelala Sakaio mme a mmitsa ka leina a re, “Sakaio! Itlhaganele! Fo-loga! Gonne ke ya go nna moeng mo lwapeng lwa gago gompieno!”
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said to him, Zacchaeas, make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.
6 Sakaio a itlhaganela a fologa a tseela Jesu kwa tlung ya gagwe ka boitumelo jo bogolo.
And he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Mme bontsintsi jwa batho ba se ka ba itumela. Ba ngongorega ba re, “O ile go nna moeng wa moleofi yo o itsegeng ka mokgwa o o maswe”.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He hath gone in to be the guest of a sinner.
8 Mme ya re ka lobaka loo, Sakaio a ema fa pele ga Morena a re, “Morena, go tloga fano ke tlaa abela bahumanegi bontlha bongwe jwa dikhumo tsa me, mme fa ke bona ke patikile mongwe mo makgethong a gagwe ke tlaa ipona molato ka go mmusetsa di tsa gagwe go menagane gane!”
And Zacchaeus stood up, and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any one by false representation, I restore him four-fold.
9 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Se se supa gore poloko e tsile mo lwapeng lo gompieno. Monna yo e ne e le mongwe wa bana ba ga Aberahame yo o neng a timetse, mme nna Morwa Motho, ke tsile go batla ke bo ke boloka mewa e e ntseng jaaka wa gagwe.”
And Jesus said to him, This day hath salvation come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
for the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Mme ka gonne Jesu o ne a atamela Jerusalema, a bolela polelo go baakanya mogopolo o o reng Bogosi jwa Modimo bo tlaa simologa gone jaana.
And while they were hearing these things, he proceeded and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
12 A re, “Mogolwane mongwe yo o neng a nna mo lefatsheng lengwe kwa motseng mogolo o o kgakala wa bogosi, o ne a bilediwa go ya go tlhongwa kgosi ya lefatshe la gagwe.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Pele ga a tsamaya o ne a phutha bathusi ba le some a naya mongwe le mongwe wa bone dikete tse pedi tsa dipula, go sala ba di atisa fa a setse a tsamaile.
And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Trade with these, till I come.
14 Mme bangwe ba batho ba gagwe ba ne ba mo ila ba bo ba mo romelela polelo ya gore ba batla boipuso, ba bolela gore ba mo tsogologetse ga ba kitla ba mo amogela go nna kgosi ya bone.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 “Ya re fa a boa a bitsa batho ba o neng a ba neetse madi, go bona gore ba dirileng ka one, le gore ba boetswe ke bokae.
And it came to pass, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what each had gained by trading.
16 “Monna wa ntlha a bega papadi e kgolo, e menaganye ga some go feta tlhwatlhwa e o neng a e neetswe.
And the first came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 “Mme kgosi ya goa ya re, ‘O dirile sentle! O monna yo o siameng o ikanyegile mo bonnyennyaneng jo ke go bo neileng. Mme tuelo ya gago ke gore, o tlaa nna molaodi wa metse e le some!’
And he said to him, Well done, good servant! because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.
18 Monna wa bobedi le ene a bega papadi e e itumedisang, e menaganye ga tlhano go feta tlhatlhwa e o neng a e neetswe.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 “Mong wa gagwe a mo raya a re, ‘Go siame! o ka nna molaodi mo metseng e metlhano.’
And he said also to this servant, And be thou over five cities.
20 “Mme monna wa boraro a bega fela madi a o neng a simolotse ka one, a re, ‘Ke a bolokile,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin.
21 ka gore ke ne ke tshaba [gore o tlaa batla papadi ya me] gonne o monna yo o thata go dirisanya nao o tsaya se e seng sa gago e bile o gapa jalo tse di lemilweng ke ba bangwe.’
For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 Mme Kgosi ya goa ya re, ‘Selo ke wena sa motlhanka yo o bosula. A ke pelo e thata? Ke tlaa nna fela jalo mo go wena! Fa o itsile bopelo-e-thata jwa me le ka fa ke leng logwadi ka gone,
He saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;
23 ke eng fa o ne o sa boloke madi a me mo polokelong gore ke tle ke bone morokotso mo go one.’
why then didst thou not put my money into a bank? Then I at my coming might have received it back with interest.
24 “Mme a retologela kwa go ba ba emeng fa go ene a ba raya a re, ‘Tsayang madi mo go ene lo a neele monna yo o dirileng a mantsi.’
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds.
25 “Mme ba re ‘Morena, o setse a na le a mantsi!’
(And they said to him, He hath ten pounds, Lord.)
26 Kgosi ya fetola ya re, ‘Ee, ke boammaaruri gore ba ba nang le go le gontsi ba newa go le gontsi, mme ba ba nang le go le gonnye ba latlhegelwa le ke gone mo ba nang nago.
I say to you, that to every one who hath, will be given; but from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.
27 Mme jaanong kaga baba ba, ba me ba ba rukutlhileng, ba tliseng kwano lo ba bolaye fa pele ga me!’”
But as for those enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me.
28 Mme ya re Jesu a sena go bolela polelo e, a ya Jerusalema le barutwa ba gagwe (a ba eteletse pele).
And when he had thus spoken, he went forward, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Ya re ba tsena mo motsing wa Bethefeige le Bethania, mo Thoteng ya Lotlhware, a romela barutwa ba gagwe ba le babedi kwa pele,
And it came to pass, as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 a ba laela go ya kwa motseng o o fa pele le gore e re ba tsena ba senke tonki e e golegilweng fa thoko ga tsela. E tlaa bo e le tonkana, e e iseng e ke e palangwe. “E gololeng, mme lo e lere kwano.
saying, Go to the village over against us; on entering which ye will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever sat; and loose, and bring it.
31 Mme e re fa mongwe a lo botsa gore lo dira eng, lo re, ‘Morena o a e batla!’”
And if any one ask you, Why are ye loosing it? ye shall say thus, The Lord hath need of it.
32 Mme ba bona tonkana jaaka Jesu a boletse,
And they who were sent went and found just as he told them.
33 mme ka boammaaruri ya re ba e golola, beng ba yone ba batla tlhaloso. Ba botsa ba re, “Lo dira eng? Lo gololelang tonkana ya rona?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why are ye loosing the colt?
34 Mme barutwa ba fetola ba re, “Morena o a e batla!”
And they said, The Lord hath need of it.
35 Mme ba lere tonkana kwa go Jesu ba pega dingwe tsa diaparo tsa bone mo go yone gore a e palame.
And they brought it to Jesus; and having thrown their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
36 Mme bontsi jwa batho jwa ala diaparo tsa bone mo tseleng kwa pele ga gagwe, mme ya re ba fitlha fa tsela e fologelang gone go tswa kwa Thoteng ya Lotlhware, batho ba simolola go goa ba opela fa ba ntse ba tsamaya ba baka Modimo kaga dikgakgamatso tse Jesu o di dirileng.
And as he went on, they spread their garments in the road.
And as he was drawing near, just at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen;
38 Ba ipela ba re, “Modimo o re neile Kgosi, e tshele ka boleele! A legodimo lotlhe le itumele! Kgalalelo go Modimo kwa magodimong!”
saying, Blessed be the King in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heavens!
39 Mme bangwe ba Bafarasai mo gare ga batho ba re, “Morena, kgalemela balatedi ba gago go bua dilo tse di ntseng jalo!”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Mme a fetola a re, “Fa ba ka didimala, maje a a fa thoko ga tsela a, a tlaa thubega ka tuduetso!”
And he answering said, I tell you, that if these are silent, the stones will cry out.
41 Mme ya re ba atamela Jerusalema a lebela motse kwa pele, a simolola go lela.
And when he came near, as he beheld the city, he wept over it,
42 A lela a re, “Kagiso e e sa khutleng e ne e le gautshwane le wena mme wa e gana, mme jaanong lobaka lo setse lo fetile.
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, and that in this thy day, the things that concern thy peace! but now they are hidden from thine eyes.
43 Baba ba gago ba tlaa go agelela ka lobota lwa mmu, ba go dika, ba go kganelela ka ntlha tsotlhe,
For the days will come upon thee, when thine enemies will cast up a mound about thee, and compass thee round, and shut thee in on every side,
44 ba bo ba go ripitlela fa fatshe le bana ba gago ba o nang nabo; ga ba kitla ba tlogela leje le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe, gonne o ganne sebaka se Modimo o se go neileng.”
and will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they will not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Hong a tsena mo Tempeleng a simolola go lelekela ntle barekisi mo marekisetsong a bone,
And entering the temple, he began to cast out those who sold,
46 a ba raya a re, “Dikwalo di bolela gore ‘Tempele ya me ke lefelo la thapelo; mme lo e fetotse mongobo wa magodu.’”
saying to them, It is written, “And my house shall be a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers.”
47 Morago ga moo a ba ruta malatsi otlhe mo Tempeleng, mme baperesiti ba bagolo le baruti bangwe ba molao le bagwebi ba ne ba leka tsela e ba ka mmolayang ka yone.
And he was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests, and the scribes, and the leading men of the people sought to destroy him.
48 Mme ba se ka ba akanya sepe, gonne o ne a tumile thata mo bathong, ebile ba utlwa lefoko lengwe le lengwe le o neng a le bua.
And they could not find an opportunity of doing any thing; for all the people hung upon him, listening.
