Luke 7
1 Erile Jesu a sena go fetsa thero ya gagwe a boela mo motsing wa Kaperenama.
Now when he had ended all his sayings (rhema) in the audience 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 ready to die.
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 of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal 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 when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 gonne o rata Bajuta o bile o re agetse ntlo ya thuto!”
For he loves our nation, and he has built us a 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.
Then 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 yourself: for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto you: but say in a word, (logos) 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 me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does 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.”
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people 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 that had been sick.
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 the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
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 came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, 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 and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto you, 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 delivered 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 there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet has risen up among us; and, That God has 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 rumour (logos) of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout 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 showed 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 Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come? 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.
When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist has sent us unto you, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; (pneuma) and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things all of you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 Mme lo mmolelele gore, ‘Go sego yo o sa latlhegelwang ke tumelo mo go nna.’”
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended 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 speak unto the people concerning John, What went all of you out into the wilderness in order to see? 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 all of you out in order to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which 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 all of you out in order 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 your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
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.”
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least 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 that heard him, 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 lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, 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?
And the Lord said, Unto which 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 sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and all of you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and all of you have not wept.
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 came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and all of you say, He has a devil.
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 has come eating and drinking; and all of you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a wine indulger, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Mme nna ke tlhomamisa gore lo ka kgona go itshegetsa mo tshiamololong ya lona.”
But 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 went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to food.
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 in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at food in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box 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 stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs 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 which had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for 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 you. And he says, Master, 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.
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, 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?”
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them 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, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, You have 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 he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
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.
You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has 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 you did not anoint: but this woman has 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 you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.
48 Mme a mo raya a re, “Dibe tsa gago di itshwaretswe.”
And he said unto her, Your 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 food with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?
50 Mme Jesu a raya mosadi a re, “Tumelo ya gago e go bolokile; tsamaya ka kagiso.”
And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
