Luke 6
1 Ka Sabata mongwe ya re Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba tsamaya mo gare ga masimo mangwe a mabele, ba kgetla diako ba sosorela ditlhaka mo diatleng tsa bone mme ba a ja mabele.
Now it happened that, on the second first Sabbath, as he passed through the grain field, his disciples were separating the ears of grain and eating them, by rubbing them in their hands.
2 Mme Bafarasai bangwe ba re, “Ga go ka fa molaong! Barutwa ba gago ba roba mabele, mme go kgatlhanong le molao wa Sejuta go dira jalo go le Sabata.”
Then certain Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths?”
3 Jesu a fetola a re, “A ga lo bale dikwalo? a ga lo ise lo ke lo bale se Kgosi Dafide o neng a se dira fa ene le batho ba gagwe ba ne ba tshwerwe ke tlala?
And responding to them, Jesus said: “Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him?
4 O ne a tsena mo teng ga Tempele mme a tsaya senkgwe sa tshupelo, senkgwe se se neng se tlhophetswe go bewa fa pele ga Morena, mme a se ja se sa letlelelwa go jewa fela jaaka mo go sa letlelelwa mme a se kgaogana le ba bangwe.”
How he entered into the house of God, and took the bread of the Presence, and ate it, and gave it to those who were with him, though it is not lawful for anyone to eat it, except the priests alone?”
5 Mme Jesu a tlatsa a re, “Ke Morena le wa Sabata tota.”
And he said to them, “For the Son of man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
6 Ka Sabata nngwe o ne a le mo tlung ya thuto a ruta, mme monna mongwe a ba a le foo yo o golafetseng letsogo le legolo.
And it happened that, on another Sabbath, he entered into the synagogue, and he taught. And there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 Baruti ba molao le Bafarasai ba lebelela sentle go bona gore a o tlaa fodisa monna ka letsatsi leo, ka e ne e le la Sabata. Gonne ba ne ba ikaeletse go mmaya molato.
And the scribes and Pharisees observed whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might thereby find an accusation against him.
8 Hong a itse megopolo ya bone jang! Mme a raya monna yo o neng a golafetse letsogo a re, “Tla o eme fa, fa mongwe le mongwe a tlaa go bonang gone.” Mme monna a dira jalo.
Yet truly, he knew their thoughts, and so he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” And rising up, he stood still.
9 Hong Jesu a raya Bafarasai le baruti ba molao a re, “Ke na le potso. A go siame go dira tshiamo ke letsatsi la Sabata, kgotsa go tlhokofatsa? Go boloka botshelo kgotsa go bo senya?”
Then Jesus said to them: “I ask you if it is lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To give health to a life, or to destroy it?”
10 A leba mongwe le mongwe wa bone mme a raya monna a re, “Otlolola letsogo la gago,” mme ya re a le otlolola, la fola!
And looking around at everyone, he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it. And his hand was restored.
11 Mme ya re ka ntlha ya tiragalo e, baba ba ga Jesu ba galefa thata, mme ba simolola go rerisanya polao ya gagwe.
Then they were filled with madness, and they discussed with one another, what, in particular, they might do about Jesus.
12 Ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu a tswela mo dithabeng go ya go rapela, bosigo jotlhe.
And it happened that, in those days, he went out to a mountain to pray. And he was in the prayer of God throughout the night.
13 Mme ya re letsatsi le tswa a bitsa balatedi ba gagwe a tlhopha ba le lesome le bobedi mo go bone go nna baeteledipele ba barutwa ba gagwe. (Ba ne ba tlhomamisiwa jaaka “Baapostoloi,” ba gagwe kgotsa “Barongwa.”)
And when daylight had arrived, he called his disciples. And he chose twelve out of them (whom he also named Apostles):
14 Maina a bone ke a: Simone (yo o neng a bidiwa Petere), Anderea (monnawe Simone), Jakobe, Filipo, Barotholomea, Mathaio, Thomase, Jakobe, (morwa Alafaio), Simone, (yo o neng a bidiwa “Moselote”) Judase (morwa Jakobe), Judase Isekariota (yo o neng ya re morago a oka Jesu).
Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon who is called the Zealot,
and Jude of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was a traitor.
17 Erile fa ba fologa mekgokolosa ya thaba, ba ema le Jesu mo lobaleng lo lo tona, ba dikaganyeditswe ke bontsi jwa balatedi ba gagwe, ba le bone ba neng ba dikaganyeditswe ke bontsintsi jwa batho. Gonne batho botlhe ba ba tswang mo tikologong ya Judea le go tswa Jerusalema le go tswa bokgakala jwa bokone jwa lotshitshi lwa lewatle la Ture le Sidona ba ne ba tsile go mo reetsa a ruta kgotsa a fodisa. Mme a kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe e le mentsi ntle.
And descending with them, he stood in a level place with a multitude of his disciples, and a copious multitude of people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast, and Tyre and Sidon,
who had come so that they might listen to him and be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured.
19 Mongwe le mongwe o ne a leka go mo ama, gonne ka go dira jalo nonofo ya phodiso e ne e tswa mo go ene mme ba fodisiwe.
And the entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power went out from him and healed all.
20 Hong a retologela kwa barutweng ba gagwe a ba raya a re, “Lo sego lona ba lo bahumanegi, gonne Bogosi jwa Modimo ke jwa lona!
And lifting up his eyes to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Lo sego lona ba lo bolawang ke tlala, gonne lo tlaa kgorisiwa. Lo sego lona ba lo lelang gonne nako e e tla, e lo tlaa tshegang ka boitumelo!
Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who are weeping now, for you shall laugh.
22 “Lo sego motlhang batho ba ba lo ilang ba ikgaoganya le lona ba lo kgoba ba lo senya leina ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me!
Blessed shall you be when men will have hated you, and when they will have separated you and reproached you, and thrown out your name as if evil, because of the Son of man.
23 Fa moo go diragala itumeleng! Ee, ipeleng gonne lo tla nna le tuelo e kgolo. Mme lo tlaa nna mo lesomong le le siameng baporofiti ba bogologolo ba ne ba dirwa jalo le bone.
Be glad in that day and exult. For behold, your reward is great in heaven. For these same things their fathers did to the prophets.
24 “Mme mafutsana a letile bahumi! Gonne ba na le boitumelo fela fano.
Yet truly, woe to you who are wealthy, for you have your consolation.
25 Ba nonne ba tsweletse pele gompieno, mme lobaka lwa tlala e e boitshegang lo ba letile. Ditshego tsa bone tse e seng tsa sepe gompieno di raya kutlobotlhoko.
Woe to you who are satisfied, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Mme kutlobotlhoko e lebagane ba ba galalediwang ke batho gonne baporofiti ba tsietso ba ne ba aga ba galalediwa jalo.
Woe to you when men will have blessed you. For these same things their fathers did to the false prophets.
27 “Reetsang! Ratang baba ba lona. Direlang tshiamo ba ba lo ilang.
But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Rapelelang boitumelo ba ba lo hutsang; kopelang ba ba lo utlusang botlhoko matlhogonolo a Modimo.
Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who slander you.
29 “Fa mongwe a go faphola mo lerameng, mo lese a faphole le lengwe! Fa mongwe a go kopa baki, mo nee le hempe ya gago.
And to him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your coat, do not withhold even your tunic.
30 Naya se o nang naso yo o se kopang; mme fa dilo di tshotswe mo go wena, se tshwenyege ka gore di boe.
But distribute to all who ask of you. And do not ask again of him who takes away what is yours.
31 Direla ba bangwe jaaka o batla ba go direla.
And exactly as you would want people to treat you, treat them also the same.
32 “A o gopola gore o tshwanetswe ke tlotlo ka go rata ba ba go ratang fela? Le baleofi ba dira jalo!
And if you love those who love you, what credit is due to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 Mme fa o direla molemo fela ba ba go direlang molemo-a moo go siame? Le baleofi ba dira jalo!
And if you will do good to those who do good to you, what credit is due to you? Indeed, even sinners behave this way.
34 Fa o adima madi fela ba ba go duelang ana ke tshiamo, efe? Le baikepi ba bagolo le bone ba tle ba adime baikepi ka bone gore ba amogele mo go kalo gape!
And if you will loan to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is due to you? For even sinners lend to sinners, in order to receive the same in return.
35 “Ratang baba ba lona! Ba direleng tshiamo. Ba adimeng! Mme lo se ka lwa tshwenyega ka gore ga ba kitla ba duela. Hong tuelo ya lona kwa legodimong e tlaa nna kgolo thata, mme ruri lo tlaa dira jaaka bomorwa Modimo: Gonne o siametse ba ba sa lebogeng le ba ba bosula.
So truly, love your enemies. Do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and to the wicked.
36 “Leka go supa kutlwelo botlhoko e tona jaaka Rraeno a dira.
Therefore, be merciful, just as your Father is also merciful.
37 “O se ka wa tshwaya diphoso kgotsa wa sekisa, e se re kgotsa ga boela mo go wena. Direla ba bangwe ka bopelonomi; mme le bone ba tlaa go direla jalo.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Gonne fa o aba, o tlaa bona! Mpho ya gago e tlaa go boela ka botlalo e bile e le selekanyo se se tshologang, e papietswe e tshikintswe go direla tse dingwe photlha, e bile e penologa. A e ka bo e le selekanyo sefe se o se dirisang se se tona kgotsa se se nnye se tlaa dirisiwa go lekanya se se go boelang.”
Give, and it will be given to you: a good measure, pressed down and shaken together and overflowing, they will place upon your lap. Certainly, the same measure that you use to measure out, will be used to measure back to you again.”
39 Dingwe tsa ditshwantsho tsa dipolelo tse Jesu a neng a di dirisa mo ditherong tsa gagwe ke tse: “Go thusang gore sefofu se etelele se sengwe kwa pele? Gonne e tlaa re se wela mo kgatamping se gogele se sengwe mo teng.
Now he told them another comparison: “How can the blind lead the blind? Would they not both fall into a pit?
40 “Moithuti o ka itse jang go gaisa moruti wa gagwe? Mme fa a ithuta thata o ka tshwana le moruti wa gagwe.
The disciple is not above his teacher. But each one will be perfected, if he is like his teacher.
41 “Mme ke eng fa o tshwenyega kaga selabe se se mo leitlhong la yo mongwe ebong molato o monnye wa gagwe fa mosipori o le mo go la gago?
And why do you see the straw that is in your brother’s eye, while the log that is in your own eye, you do not consider?
42 O ka akanya jang go mo raya o re, mokaulengwe, tla ke go thuse go ntsha selabe mo leitlhong la gago, fa o sa kgone go bona ka ntlha ya mosipori pele ke gone gongwe o ka bonang sentle go dira sengwe ka selabe sa gagwe. Moitimokanyi:
Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, and then will you see clearly, so that you may lead out the straw from your brother’s eye.
43 “Setlhare se se tswang mo thitong e e siameng ga se ka ke sa ungwa loungo lo lo motlhofo le ditlhare tse di tswang mo thitong e e motlhofo ga di ka ke tsa ungwa loungo lo lo tlhophegileng.
For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor does an evil tree produce good fruit.
44 Setlhare se lemogwa ka mofuta wa loungo lwa sone. Maungo a difeige ga a ka ke a ungwiwa ke ditlhare tse di mitlwa, kgotsa moretlwa mo manganeng.
For each and every tree is known by its fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape from the bramble bush.
45 “Motho yo o siameng o ntsha ditiro tse di siameng mo pelong e e siameng. Mme motho yo o bosula o ntsha dilo tse di bosula mo boikepong jwa gagwe jo bo fitlhegileng. Sengwe le sengwe se se mo pelong ya gagwe se fetogela mo puong.
A good man, from the good storehouse of his heart, offers what is good. And an evil man, from the evil storehouse, offers what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
46 “Jaanong ke eng fa lo mpitsa Morena lo sa nkutlwe?
But why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?
47 Mme botlhe ba ba tlang go reetsa le go nkutlwa ba tshwana le monna yo o agang ntlo mo motheong o o nonofileng o o beilweng mo lefikeng le le kwa tlase. E re fa merwalela e tlhatloga e thubaka ntlo, e eme e nitame mo lefikeng.
Anyone who comes to me, and listens to my words, and does them: I will reveal to you what he is like.
He is like a man building a house, who has dug deep and has laid the foundation upon the rock. Then, when the floodwaters came, the river was rushing against that house, and it was not able to move it. For it was founded upon the rock.
49 Mme ba ba reetsang mme ba sa utlwe ba tshwana le monna yo o agileng ntlo e e senang motheo. E re fa merwalela e elelela mo tlung eo, e senyege e be e tswe letlotla.”
But whoever hears and does not do: he is like a man building his house upon the soil, without a foundation. The river rushed against it, and it soon fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.”
