Luke 5
1 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe a rera mo lotshitshing lwa lecha la Genesareta, bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa batho jwa kokoanela mo go ene go reetsa Lefoko la Modimo.
And it came to pass, as the multitude was pressing upon him and hearing the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 Mme a lebela mekoro e mebedi e e senang sepe e eme fa thoko ga metse fa batshwari ba ditlhapi ba tlhatswa matloa a bone.
and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them, and had washed the nets.
3 Erile Jesu a tsena mo go mongwe wa mekoro, a raya Simone mong wa mokoro o mongwe a re, a o suteletse kwa pelenyana mo metsing gore a tle a nne mo go one a bue le batho a le mo teng.
And going into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down in the boat, he taught the multitudes.
4 Erile a sena go fetsa go bua, a raya Simone a re, “Jaanong tsamaela fa go boteng o lese matloa a gago mme o tlaa tshwara ditlhapi di le dintsi!”
And when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Mme Simone a fetola a re, “Morena,” re dirile thata bosigo jotlhe mme ra se ka ra tshwara sepe, mme fa o rialo re tlaa leka gape.
And Simon answering said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing; but at thy word I will let down the nets.
6 Mme ka nako e matloa a bone a ne a tlala thata mo e leng gore a ne a simolola go gagoga!
And having done this, they inclosed great multitude of fishes; and their nets began to break.
7 Mme go goa ga bone ba batla thuso ga tlisa bangwe ka bone mo mokorong o mongwe mme ka bonako mekoro yotlhe ya bo e tletse ditlhapi mo e ka nwelang.
And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Erile Simone Petere a lemoga se se diragetseng a itigela ka mangole fa pele ga ga Jesu mme a re, “Ao, Morena, tswee-tswee, re tlogele ke moleofi yo mogolo go ka nna le wena.”
And Simon Peter seeing it fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
9 Gonne o ne a gakgamaditswe thata ke selekanyo se ba se tshwereng jaaka ba bangwe ba ba neng ba na le bone.
For he and all that were with him were amazed at the draught of fishes, which they had taken;
10 Le bapati ba bangwe le bone bo Jakobe le Johane, bomorwa Sebede. Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Se tshwenyege! go simolola gompieno lo tlaa tshwara mewa ya batho!”
and so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 Mme ya re ka bonako fa ba fologa mo mekorong ba tlogela tsotlhe ba tsamaya le ene.
And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Mme ka letsatsi lengwe mo motsaneng mongwe o a neng a o etela, teng koo ga bo go le monna yo o neng a na le lepero le le sa foleng. Erile a bona Jesu a itigela fa fatshe fa pele ga gagwe, a oba sefatlhogo a kopa gore a fodisiwe. A re, “Morena, fa o rata o ka mphodisa.”
And it came to pass, when he was in one of the cities, lo! a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
13 Hong Jesu a otlolola seatla a ama monna yoo mme a re, “Go ntse jalo ke a rata, fola!” Mme lepero la mo tlogela ka bonako.
And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Mme Jesu a mo laela gore a tsamaye ka bofefo a sa bolelele ope se se diragetseng le go ya go tlhatlhojwa ke moperesiti wa Sejuta. Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ntsha setlhabelo se ka molao wa ga Moshe se batlwang mo baleperweng ba ba fodisitsweng. Se se tlaa supegetsa mongwe le mongwe gore o fodile.”
And he charged him to tell no one: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
15 Hong polelo ya nonofo ya gagwe ya anama ka bonako mme kokoano e kgolo ya batho ya tla go utlwa a ruta le go fodisiwa malwetse a bone.
But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 Mme Jesu o ne a tle a ngwangwaelele kwa nageng go ya go rapela.
But he was wont to withdraw to desert places, and pray.
17 Ka letsatsi lengwe fa a ntse a ruta, bangwe ba molao ba bo ba ntse gaufi nae. (Go ne go bonala fa batho ba ba ne ba tswa mo metsaneng mengwe le mengwe ya Galalea otlhe le Judea, le mo Jerusalema). Mme nonofo ya phodiso ya Morena e ne e le mo go ene.
And it came to pass on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present that he might heal.
18 Mme bonang! banna bangwe ba tlaa ba tshotse monna yo o suleng mofama a robetse mo phateng. Ba leka go itshukela mo gare ga bontsintsi jwa batho go ya kwa go Jesu mme ba se ka ba mmona. Jalo ba tlhatlogela mo ditlhomesong fa godimo ga gagwe, ba tlosa makote a a neng a khurumetse ditlhomeso mme ba baya fa fatshe monna yo o lwalang mo bontsintsing jwa batho, a ntse a robetse mo phateng, fa pele ga ga Jesu!
And lo! men brought on a bed a man that was palsied; and they endeavored to bring him in, and to set him before him.
And not finding any way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with the couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 Mme ya re Jesu a bona tumelo ya bone, a raya monna a re, “Tsala ya me, dibe tsa gago di itshwaretswe!”
And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.
21 Mme Bafarasai le baruti ba molao ba botsanya ba re, “Motho yo o ikgopola a le eng?” O a tlhapatsa! E mang fa e se Modimo yo o ka itshwarelang dibe.
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
22 Jesu a ba a setse a itsile se ba se akantseng, mme a fetola a re, “Ke eng fa e le tlhapatso?
But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, What are ye thinking in your hearts?
23 A go thata go itshwarela dibe tsa gagwe go na le go mo fodisa?”
Which is easier? to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?
24 Jaanong ke tlaa supa thata ya me go itshwarela sebe ka go supa nonofo ya me ka go fodisa bolwetse. Mme a raya monna yo o suleng mofama a re, “Ema o menaganye phate ya gago o ye gae.”
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, —he said to the palsied man, —I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go to thy house.
25 Mme ya re ka bonako, fa mongwe le mongwe a lebeletse, monna a nanoga a tsaya phate ya gagwe a ya gae a baka Modimo.
And he immediately rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and went away to his house, giving glory to God.
26 Mme mongwe le mongwe yo o neng a le foo a tshwarwa ke kgakge le letshogo. Mme ba baka Modimo, ba boaboela gangwe le gape ba re, “Re bone dilo tse di gakgamatsang gompieno.”
And amazement seized them all, and they gave glory to God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
27 Mme morago ya re Jesu a tswa mo motseng a bona mokgethisi ka sekao sa gale sa go tsietsa a ntse fa bokgethelong. Leina la monna yo e ne e le Lefi, Jesu a mo raya a re, “Tla o nne mongwe wa barutwa ba me!”
And after these things he went out, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him, Follow me.
28 Mme Lefi, a tlogela sengwe le sengwe a nanoga a tsamaya le ene.
And leaving everything, he arose and followed him.
29 Mme ka bonako Lefi a dira modiro mo legaeng la gagwe a o direla Jesu e le moeng yo o tlotlegang. Ba le bantsi ba ditsala tsa ga Lefi tsa bakgethisi le baeti ba bangwe ba ne ba le teng.
And Levi made a great feast for him at his house, and there was a great company of publicans and others, who were reclining at table with them.
30 Mme Bafarasai le baruti ba molao ba ngongoregela barutwa ba ga Jesu ka go ja le baleofi ba mofuta oo.
And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
31 Mme Jesu a ba araba a re, “Ke molwetse yo o tlhokang ngaka eseng ba ba itekanetseng,
And Jesus answering said to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick.
32 Tiro ya me ke go laletsa baleofi gore ba sokologe mo dibeng tsa bone, eseng go senya nako ya me ka ba ba ikgopolang gore ba setse ba siame thata.”
I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
33 Ngongorego e nngwe e ne e le ya gore barutwa ba ga Jesu ba dira modiro mo boemong jwa go ikitsa dijo, fa barutwa ba ga Johane le ba Bafarasai bone ba aga ba itima dijo ebile ba rapela. Ba re, “Ke eng fa barutwa ba gago bone ba a nwa ba a ja?”
And they said to him, The disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.
34 Jesu a botsa a re, “A batho ba ba itumelang ba ka ikitsa go ja? A balalediwa ba lenyalo ba ka tshwarwa ke tlala fa ba le mo moketeng le monyadi?
But Jesus said to them, Can ye make the companions of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Mme nako e tlaa tla e monyadi o tlaa bolawang ka yone; ke gone ba se kitlang ba batla go ja.”
But the days will come—and when the bridegroom is taken from them, then will they fast in those days.
36 Hong Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se: a re, “Ga go na ope yo o gagolang sebata sa seaparo se sesha go bitiya seaparo se segologolo, gonne seaparo se sesha se tlaa bo se sentswe, mme seaparo se segologolo se tlaa lebega se le maswe ka ntlha ya sebata se sesha mo go sone.
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one taketh a patch from a new garment and putteth it upon an old one; for then both the new garment would be rent, and the patch from the new garment would not match with the old.
37 Mme ga go ope yo o ka tshelang seno sa mofine se sesha mo teng ga dinkgwana tse di kgologolo, gonne seno se sesha se tlaa phunya dinkgwana mme di tsholole mofine.
And no one putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine would burst the skins, and would itself run out, and the skins would be spoilt.
38 Mofine o mosha o tshwanetse go tshelwa mo dinkgwaneng tse disha.
But new wine must be put into new skins.
39 Mme ga go ope yo e a reng a sena go nwa mofine o mogologolo a eletse o mosha. Mme batho ba re ditsela tsa bogologolo di botoka.”
And no one, having drunk old wine, desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.
