< 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, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood 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 were washing [their] 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 he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.
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!”
Now when he had left speaking, he said to Simon, Lanch out into the deep, 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 to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
6 Mme ka nako e matloa a bone a ne a tlala thata mo e leng gore a ne a simolola go gagoga!
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
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, who were in the other boat, that they should 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.”
When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
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 was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the 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 [was] also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: from 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 forsook all, 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 a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell on [his] face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
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 clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from 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 man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according 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 a fame of him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Mme Jesu o ne a tle a ngwangwaelele kwa nageng go ya go rapela.
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
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, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was [present] to heal them.
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 behold, men brought in a bed a man who was taken with the palsy: and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before him.
And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with [his] 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 when he saw their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are 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 who 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 when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering, said to them, What reason ye 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 are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise 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 power upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick with the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into 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 immediately he arose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying 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 they were all amazed, and they glorified 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 forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him, Follow me.
28 Mme Lefi, a tlogela sengwe le sengwe a nanoga a tsamaya le ene.
And he left all, 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 him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat down with them.
30 Mme Bafarasai le baruti ba molao ba ngongoregela barutwa ba ga Jesu ka go ja le baleofi ba mofuta oo.
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with 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 that are well need not a physician; but they that 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 came not to call the righteous, 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, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] 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?
And he said to them, Can ye make the children of the bride-chamber 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, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will 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 man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old: if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new, agreeth not 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 man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will perish.
38 Mofine o mosha o tshwanetse go tshelwa mo dinkgwaneng tse disha.
But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved.
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.”
No man also having drank old [wine], immediately desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
