Luke 7
1 Erile Jesu a sena go fetsa thero ya gagwe a boela mo motsing wa Kaperenama.
After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Fela ka yone nako eo motlhanka yo mogolo wa moeteledi pele wa mophato wa Seroma o ne a lwala a bile a le gaufi le go swa.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 E rile fa moeteledipele wa mophato a utlwa kaga Jesu, a romela bangwe ba Sejuta ba ba tlotlegang go ya go mo kopa gore a tle go fodisa motlhanka wa gagwe.
And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
4 Hong ba simolola go kopa Jesu ka tlhoafalo go ya le bone go thusa monna yoo. Ba mmolelela ka fa moeteledipele wa masole o neng a le senatla ka gone. “Fa mongwe a tshwanelwa ke go thusiwa, ke ene,
And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;
5 gonne o rata Bajuta o bile o re agetse ntlo ya thuto!”
for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
6 Jesu a tsamaya le bone; mme ya re pele ga ba goroga kwa tlung, moeteledipele wa masole a romela ditsala dingwe go ya gore, “Morena o se ka wa itapisa ka go tla kwa lwapeng la me, gonne ga ke a tshwanelwa ke tlotlo e e kalo kgotsa le fa e le go ka kopana nao, bua lefoko fela fa o leng teng mme motlhanka wa me o tlaa fola.
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:
wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Ke a itse, ka gore ke ka fa tlase ga taolo ya maotlana a magolo, mme ke na le taolo mo bathong ba me. Ke na le tshwanelo ya gore ‘Tsamayang!’ mme ba tsamaye; kgotsa ‘Tlang!’ mme ba tle; mme ke reye motlhanka wa me ke re, dira se kgotsa sele; mme a se dire. [Jalo, bua fela jaana o re, ‘Fola’ mme motlhanka wa me o tlaa fola!].”
For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 Jesu a hakgamala. A retologela kwa bathong ba ba kgobokaneng a re, “Ga ke ise nke ke kopane le motho wa tumelo e e ntseng jaana mo Bajuteng botlhe ba ba mo Iseraele.”
And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Mme ya re ditsala tsa moeteledipele wa masole di boela kwa tlung ya gagwe, tsa fitlhela motlhanka a fodile gotlhelele!
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
11 Morago ga lobakanyana Jesu a tsamaya le barutwa ba gagwe ba ya kwa motsaneng wa Naine le batho ba bantsi ba mo kgobokanetse jaaka gale.
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Popelelo ya phitlho ya tswela kwa ntle fa Jesu a atamela kgoro ya motsana. Mosimane yo o neng a sule e ne e le ene fela ngwana wa mosimane wa mosadi wa motlholagadi, mme bahutsahadi ba le bantsi ba tswa nae mo motsaneng oo.
Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 E rile fa Morena a mmona, pelo ya gagwe ya tlala kutlwelobotlhoko. Mme a mo raya a re, “Se lele!”
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 Hong a tsamaela kwa kesing ya moswi! Mme a e ama, mme batshodi ba yone ba ema. A mo raya a re, “Morwaaka, tsoga mo losong!”
And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 Hong mosimane a nna sentle mme a simolola go bua le ba ba neng ba mo dikaganyeditse! Mme Jesu a mmusetsa kwa go mmaagwe.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Letshogo le legolo la tsena batho, mme ba goa ba baka Modimo. Ba re, “Moporofiti yo mogolo o tsogile mo gare ga rona mme re bonye letsogo la Modimo le dira gompieno!”
And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17 Polelo ya se a se dirileng ka letsatsi leo ya anamela ka bonako go tswa ntlheng e nngwe go ya go e nngwe ya Judea le go kgabaganya melelwane tota.
And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the region round about.
18 Mme barutwa ba ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi ba tloga ba utlwa gotlhe mo Jesu o neng a go dira. Ya re ba bolelela Johane kaga gone,
And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
19 a romela bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ba le babedi kwa go Jesu go ya go mmotsa ba re, “A o Mesia tota? Kgotsa re nne re mo lebeletse?”
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
20 Barutwa ba babedi ba fitlhela Jesu a sa ntse a alafa balwetse ba malwetse a a farologanyeng, a fodisa digole le difofu ebile a kgoromeletsa ntle mewa e e maswe. Erile ba mmotsa potso ya ga Johane, a fetola a re, “Boelang kwa go Johane mme lo mmolelele gotlhe mo lo go boneng le mo lo go utlwileng gompieno: gore ba ba neng ba foufetse ba a bona! Batlhotsi ga ba tlhole ba tlhotsa! Balepero ba setse ba fodisitswe! Bosusu ba a utlwa! Baswi ba a rula! Mme bahumanegi ba utlwa Mafoko a a Molemo.
And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
23 Mme lo mmolelele gore, ‘Go sego yo o sa latlhegelwang ke tumelo mo go nna.’”
And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
24 Erile ba sena go tsamaya Jesu a bua le batho kaga Johane. A re, “Motho yo ke mang yo lo neng lo ile go mmona mo sekakeng sa Judea? A lo ne lwa mmona a le motlhofo jaaka bojang jo bo sutisiwang ke mosumo mongwe le mongwe wa phefo!
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
25 A lo kile lwa mmona a apere diaparo tse di tlhwatlhwa kgolo? Nnyaa! Batho ba ba nnang mo monateng ba bonwa mo matlung a segosi, e seng kwa ntle mo sekakeng.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 Mme a lo kile lwa bona moporofiti? Ee! Le go feta moporofiti?
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Ke ene yo dikwalo di neng di mo raya fa di re, ‘Bona! Ke romela morongwa wa me kwa pele ga gago, go go baakanyetsa ditsela!’
This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Mo bathong botlhe ga go na ope yo mogolo go feta Johane. Mme le fa go ntse jalo yo mmotlana mo Bogosing jwa Modimo o mogolo go mo feta.”
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Mme botlhe ba ba utlwileng Johane a rera, le e leng bone ba ba neng ba le bosula thata, ba dumela gore se se batlwang ke Modimo se siame, mme ba kolobediwa ke ene.
And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Botlhe ba kolobediwa kwa ntle ga Bafarasai le baruti ba molao wa ga Moshe. Ba ne ba gana leano la Modimo mo go bone mme ba gana kolobetso ya ga Johane.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
31 Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Ke ka reng ka batho ba ba ntseng jalo? Ke ka ba tshwantsha le eng?
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 Ba tshwana le setlhopha sa bana ba ba ngongoregang mo ditsaleng tsa bone, ba re, ‘Ga lo rate fa re tshameka “Lonyalo” e bile ga lo rate fa re tshameka phitlho!’
They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
33 Gonne Johane wa Mokolobetsi o ne a tlwaetse go tsamaya a sa tsaya dijo e bile a se ke a tsaya seno mo botshelong jwa gagwe jotlhe, mme lwa re, ‘O tshwanetse a ba a tsenwa!’
For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
34 Mme ke ja dijo tsa me e bile ke nwa mofine wa me mme lwa re, ‘Kana Jesu o rata dijo jang! E bile o a nwa! E bile o na le ditsala tsa mofuta o o kwa tlase!’
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Mme nna ke tlhomamisa gore lo ka kgona go itshegetsa mo tshiamololong ya lona.”
And wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 Hong mongwe wa Bafarasai a kopa Jesu gotla kwa lwapeng lwa gagwe go ya go ja, mme Jesu a amogela taletso eo. Ya re ba nna fa fatshe ba a ja,
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 mosadi wa mebila, wa seaka, a utlwalela fa Jesu a le foo mme a lere lebotlolo le tletse setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo.
And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
38 Ya re a tsena mo teng a obama fa dinaung tsa gagwe ka mangole, a lela go fitlhela dinao tsa ga Jesu di kolobediwa ke dikeledi tsa gagwe; mme a di phimola ka moriri wa gagwe a di atla a ba a tshela setlolo mo go tsone.
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 E rile Mofarasai mongwe yo Jesu o neng a mmiditse, a bona se se diregang le gore mosadi e ne e le mang, a ithaya a re, “Se supa gore Jesu ga se moporofiti, gonne fa tota a ne a romilwe ke Modimo, o ka bo a itsile gore mosadi yo ke wa mofuta ofe!”
Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
40 Hong Jesu a buela kwa godimo a araba dikakanyo tsa ga Simone wa Mofarasai a re, “Ke na le sengwe se ke batlang go se bua le wena.” Simone a fetola are, “Gosiame moruti, tswelela.”
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
41 Hong Jesu a mmolelela polelo e: “Monna o kile a adima batho ba babedi madi, a adima yo mongwe dikete di le tlhano tsa dipula mme a adima yo mongwe makgolo a matlhano a dipula.
A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
42 Mme ga go ise go ke go nne le ope wa bone yo o neng a mo duela, jalo ka bopelo-tlhomogi a ba itshwarela botlhe, a ba lesa gore ba seka ba duela. Ke ofe yo o gopolang gore o ne a mo rata thata morago ga moo?”
When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Simone a araba a re, “Ke gopola gore ke yo o neng a mo kolota thata.” Jesu a dumela a re go ntse jalo.
Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Hong a retologela kwa mosading a raya Simone a re, “A o bona mosadi yo o khubameng fa yo! Erile ke tsena mo lwapeng lwa gago ga o a ka wa tshwenyega ka go nnaya metse go tlhapa lorole mo dinaong tsa me, mme ene o di tlhapisitse ka dikeledi tsa gagwe a ba a di phimola ka moriri wa gagwe!
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Lo nkganeletse katlo ya tlwaelesego ya tumediso, mme ene o atlile dinao tsa me gangwe le gape go simologa ka nako e ke neng ke goroga ka yone.
Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Lo ne lwa tlhokomologa bopelonomi jwa gale jwa lookwane lwa motlhware go tlotsa tlhogo ya me, mme ene o bipile dinao tsa me ka setlolo se se sa tlwaelesegang.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Ka moo dibe tsa gagwe tse dintsi di itshwaretswe, gonne o nthatile thata; mme yo o itshwaretsweng go le gonnye go supa lorato lo lo nnye.”
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
48 Mme a mo raya a re, “Dibe tsa gago di itshwaretswe.”
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Mme banna ba ba neng ba ntse fa lomating lwa bojelo ba raana ba re, “Monna yo o akanya gore ke mang, yo o tsamayang a itshwarela dibe?”
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50 Mme Jesu a raya mosadi a re, “Tumelo ya gago e go bolokile; tsamaya ka kagiso.”
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
