Mareko 12
1 Tse ke ditshwantsho dingwe tsa dipolelo tse Jesu o kileng a di bolelela batho ka nako eo. Monna o kile a jala tshimo, mme a e agelela ka logora a ba a epa lehuti la go gamolela matute a moretlwa, a aga ntlo ya molebeledi. Hong a naya balemi tshimo go e thapa ka tuelo, mme a ya kwa lefatshing le le kgakala.
And he began to discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance.
2 Ka motlha wa thobo a romela mongwe wa badiri ba gagwe go tla go tsaya seabe sa gagwe sa thobo.
And at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Mme balemi ba itaya morongwa ba mmusetsa morago a sa tsaya sepe.
And they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Mme mong wa tshimo a romela mongwe gape wa badiri ba gagwe, yo le ene o neng a itewa fela jalo, ba mo itaya go gaisa wa pele, gonne o ne a ntshitswe dintho tse di boitshegang mo tlhogong.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities.
5 Monna yo mongwe yo o neng a mo romile o ne a bolawa; mme morago, ba bangwe ba ne ba itewa kgotsa ba bolawa,
And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed.
6 go fitlhela go sala a le mongwe fela, ebong morwawe yo o tsetsweng a le esi. La bofelo a romela ene, a gopola gore ba tlaa mo tlotla.
At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
7 “Mme e rile fa balemi ba mmona a tla ba re, ‘Ke ene yo o tlaa tsayang tshimo fa rraagwe a a swa. Tlang re mmolayeng. Hong tshimo e tlaa nna ya rona!’
But those husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 Hong ba mo tshwara ba mmolaya ba latlhela setopo sa gagwe kwa ntle ga tshimo.
And they took him, and slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 “O akanya gore mong wa tshimo o tlaa dirang fa a utlwa ka se se diragetseng? O tlaa tla a ba bolaya botlhe, mme a neela ba bangwe tshimo eo.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and transfer the vineyard to others.
10 A ga lo ga kologelwe gore lo badile temana mo dikwalong? e e reng, ‘Lentswe le baagi ba neng ba le latlha le ne la nna lentswe la kgokgotsho, lentswe le le tlotlegang thata mo kagong!
And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:
11 Se ke tiro ya Modimo e bile ke selo se se gakgamatsang go bonwa.’”
From the Lord, was this; and it is wonderful in our eyes?
12 Baeteledipele ba Bajuta ba ne ba batla go mo tshwara teng foo, ka ntlha ya go dirisa setshwantsho se, gonne ba ne ba itse gore o raya bone, e ne e le balemi ba ba bosula mo polelong ya gagwe.
And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away.
13 Mme ba romela bangwe ba baeteledipele ba tumelo le ba dipolotiki go bua le ene le go leka go mo lalela gore a tle a bue sengwe se ba ka lekang go mo tshwara ka sone.
And they sent to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare him in discourse.
14 Mme ditlhola tse tsa re, “Moruti, re itse gore o bolela boammaaruri le fa go ntse jang! Ga o tlhotlhelediwe ke dikakanyo le dikeletso tsa batho, mme o ruta ditsela tsa Modimo sentle. Jaanong re bole lele, a go siame go duela lekgetho la Roma, kgotsa nnyaa?”
And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?
15 Jesu a bona leano la bone mme a re, “Ntshupegetsang ledi mme ke tlaa lo bolelela.”
And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 E rile fa ba le mo naya a re, “Setshwantsho se le mokwalo ke tsa ga mang?” Ba mo raya ba re, “Ke tsa ga Kaesara.”
And they brought one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to him: Caesar's.
17 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Go siame, fa e le gore ke tsa gagwe, mo neyeng ditsa gagwe. Mme tse eleng tsa Modimo di tshwanetse go newa Modimo!” Mme ba simolola go ingwaya ditlhogo ka ntlha ya go palelwa ke karabo ya gagwe.
Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.
18 Hong Basadukai ba tla kwa go ene, e le setlhopha sengwe sa banna se se reng ga go na tsogo ya baswi. Potso ya bone ke e:
Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said:
19 “Moruti, Moshe o re neile molao gore fa motho a a swa a sena bana, a monnawe a tseye mosadi wa gagwe mme a nne le bana le ene mo leineng la ga mogolowe.
Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Go kile ga bo go le bomorwa motho ba supa mme yo mo tona a nyala, a swa a sena bana. Jalo monnawe a nyala motlholagadi yoo mme le ene a akofa a swa a sena bana. Mme yo mongwe a mo nyala le ene a swa a sena bana ga tswelela jalo go fitlhelela ba a swa botlhe. Mme le gona go ne go sena bana; morago ga moo mosadi le ene a swa.
There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner.
And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 “Se re batlang go se itse ke se—Mo tsogong ya baswi, e tlaa nna mosadi wa ga mang gonne e ne e le mosadi wa bone botlhe?”
In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.
24 Jesu a araba a re, “Molato wa lona ke gore ga lo itse dikwalo, le fa e le nonofo ya Modimo.
Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Gonne e tlaa re fa batho ba ba supang ba, le mosadi ba tsoga mo baswing, ba tlaa bo ba sa nyala mme ba tlaa bo ba tshwana le baengele.
For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven.
26 “Mme kaga tsogo ya baswi a ga lo ise lo ke lo bale mo lokwalong lwa ga Ekesodo ka ga Moshe le setlhare se se tukang? Modimo o ne wa raya Moshe wa re, ‘Ke Modimo wa ga Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe’.
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 “Modimo o ne o bolelela Moshe gore batho ba, le fa ba sule mo dingwageng tse di makgolokgolo tse di fetileng, ba ne ba sa ntse ba tshela, gonne o ka bo o se ka wa re, ‘Ke Modimo wa ba ba seong!’ Lo dirile phoso e tona.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
28 Mme mongwe wa baruti ba tumelo yo o neng a eme foo a reeditse puisanyo ya bone a lemoga gore Jesu o arabile sentle. Hong a botsa a re, “Mo melaong yotlhe, ke ofe wa botlhokwa?”
And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?
29 Jesu a araba a re, “Ke o o reng, ‘Utlwa wena Iseraele! Morena Modimo wa rona ke ene Modimo a le nosi.
Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:
30 Mme o tshwanetse go mo rata ka pelo yotlhe ya gago le ka mowa le ka tlhaloganyo le ka thata yotlhe ya gago.’
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment.
31 “Wa bobedi wa re, ‘O tshwanetse go rata ba bangwe fela jaaka o ithata;’ ga go na melao epe e e fetang e.”
And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 Mme Moruti wa tumelo a araba a re, “Morena o buile boammaaruri fa o re go na le Modimo o le mongwe fela mme ga go na ope gape.
The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside him.
33 Mme ke itse gore go tlhokega thata go mo rata ka pelo yotlhe ya me le ka kitso, le go rata ba bangwe jaaka ke ithata, go na le go ntsha mehuta yotlhe ya ditlhabelo mo aletareng ya Tempele.”
And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34 Mme e rile Jesu a lemoga go tlhaloganya ga monna yo a re, “Ga o kgakala le Bogosi jwa Modimo.” Mme morago ga moo ga seka ga tlhola ga nna le ope yo o pelokgale go mmotsa dipotso.
And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him.
35 Ya re morago Jesu a ntse a ruta batho mo tikologong ya Tempele, a ba botsa potso e: “Ke eng fa baruti ba tumelo ya lona ba re, Mesia o tshwanetse a bo a le wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide?
And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David?
36 Dafide ka esi o buile ka Mowa o o Boitshepo a re, ‘Modimo o reile Morena wa me wa re, nna ka fa letsogong ja me je legolo, ke be ke tle ke dire baba ba gago sebeo sa dinao tsa gago.’
For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet.
37 E re ka Dafide a ne a mmitsa Morena wa gagwe, o ka nna morwawe jang?” (Kakanyo e ya itumedisa bontsintsi jwa batho, mme ba mo reetsa ka kgatlhego e kgolo thata.)
David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.
38 Dilo dingwe tse a di ba rutileng ka nako eo ke tse: “Itlhokomeleng mo baruting ba tumelo! Gonne ba rata go apara diaparo tsa bahumi le tsa barutegi, le gore batho botlhe ba ba ikobele fa ba tsamaya mo marekisetsong.
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets,
39 Ba rata go nna mo ditilong tse di kwa pele mo ditempeleng le manno a tlotlo mo medirong,
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts.
40 mme ga ba tlhabiwe ke ditlhong go tsietsa batlholagadi mo matlung a bone, tota ba fitlha gore ke batho ba mekgwa e e ntseng jang, ba dira jaaka o ka re ba obamela Modimo ka go rapela dithapelo tse di telele mo ponong ya batho. Ka ntlha ya go dira jalo katlholo ya bone e tlaa nna e kgolo.”
They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.
41 Hong a ya fa letloleng la madi a Tempele a nna fa fatshe a lebelela fa bontsi jwa batho bo ntse bo latlhela madi. Bangwe ba ba neng ba humile ba ne ba latlhela a magolo.
And as Jesus sat over against the treasury-room, he saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. And many rich ones cast in much.
42 Hong ga tla mosadi wa motlholagadi wa mohumanegi a tla a latlhela dithebe di le pedi.
And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which are a brass farthing.
43 A biletsa barutwa ba gagwe kwa go ene a re, “Mohumanegi yole wa motlholagadi o ntshitse mo go golo go feta gotlhe ga bahumi go kopantswe! Gonne bone ba ntshitse mo go botlana, ga dikhumo tsa bone, fa ene a ntshitse thebe ya gagwe ya bofelo.”
And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast into the treasury more than all they that cast in.
For they all cast in of that which abounded to them, but she, of her poverty, hath cast in all that she possessed, the whole of her property.
