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.
He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 Ka motlha wa thobo a romela mongwe wa badiri ba gagwe go tla go tsaya seabe sa gagwe sa thobo.
When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Mme balemi ba itaya morongwa ba mmusetsa morago a sa tsaya sepe.
They took him, 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.
Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
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,
Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
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.
Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘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 farmers said amongst themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Hong ba mo tshwara ba mmolaya ba latlhela setopo sa gagwe kwa ntle ga tshimo.
They took him, killed 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 the farmers, and will give 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!
Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
11 Se ke tiro ya Modimo e bile ke selo se se gakgamatsang go bonwa.’”
This was from the Lord. It is marvellous 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.
They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. 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.
They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
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?”
When they had come, they asked him, “Rabbi, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 Jesu a bona leano la bone mme a re, “Ntshupegetsang ledi mme ke tlaa lo bolelela.”
Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test 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.”
They brought it. 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.
Yeshua answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marvelled greatly 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:
Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
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.
“Rabbi, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for 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. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
and the seven took her and left no children. 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, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
24 Jesu a araba a re, “Molato wa lona ke gore ga lo itse dikwalo, le fa e le nonofo ya Modimo.
Yeshua answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing 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 will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels 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 about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, 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. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
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?”
One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29 Jesu a araba a re, “Ke o o reng, ‘Utlwa wena Iseraele! Morena Modimo wa rona ke ene Modimo a le nosi.
Yeshua answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 Mme o tshwanetse go mo rata ka pelo yotlhe ya gago le ka mowa le ka tlhaloganyo le ka thata yotlhe ya gago.’
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 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.”
The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ 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, “Truly, Rabbi, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
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 to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings 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.
When Yeshua saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
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?
Yeshua responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the 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 said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your 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.)
Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
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.
In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39 Ba rata go nna mo ditilong tse di kwa pele mo ditempeleng le manno a tlotlo mo medirong,
and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places 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.”
those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive 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.
Yeshua sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42 Hong ga tla mosadi wa motlholagadi wa mohumanegi a tla a latlhela dithebe di le pedi.
A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
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.”
He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
