Luke 7
1 Erile Jesu a sena go fetsa thero ya gagwe a boela mo motsing wa Kaperenama.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing 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.
A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to 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.
When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to 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,
When they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 gonne o rata Bajuta o bile o re agetse ntlo ya thuto!”
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."
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.
Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will 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 placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this 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 was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such 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 when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
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.
It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples, along with a large crowd, went with him.
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.
And when he drew near to the gate of the city, then look, a man who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from 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!”
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."
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!”
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell 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.
He who 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!”
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us." and, "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.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
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,
The disciples of John told him about 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?”
John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look 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 had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Mme lo mmolelele gore, ‘Go sego yo o sa latlhegelwang ke tumelo mo go nna.’”
Blessed is he who is not offended by 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!
When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by 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 did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
26 Mme a lo kile lwa bona moporofiti? Ee! Le go feta moporofiti?
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell 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, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will 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.”
"I tell you, among those who are born of women there is none greater than John, yet he who 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.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
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 Law scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31 Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “Ke ka reng ka batho ba ba ntseng jalo? Ke ka ba tshwantsha le eng?
"To what then will I liken the people of this generation? 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 children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you 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 came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has 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 has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
35 Mme nna ke tlhomamisa gore lo ka kgona go itshegetsa mo tshiamololong ya lona.”
Wisdom is justified by 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,
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.
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 look, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar 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.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, 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 who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches 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.”
Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "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 denarii, 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 could not 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, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
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!
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet 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.
You gave me no kiss, but she, 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.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she 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.”
Therefore I tell 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.”
He said to 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 those who were reclining with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
50 Mme Jesu a raya mosadi a re, “Tumelo ya gago e go bolokile; tsamaya ka kagiso.”
He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
