Mareko 14
1 Mme Modiro wa Tlolaganyo wa simologa morago ga malatsi a le mabedi, e le letsatsi la boitapoloso la Bajuta la ngwaga le ngwaga le go neng go sa jewe senkgwe se se bedisitsweng, baperesiti ba bagolo le ba bangwe baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba bo ba sa ntse ba batla leano le ba ka tshwarang Jesu ka lone ka sephiri go mmolaya.
NOW the passover and the feast of unleavened bread were but two days distant; and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might seize him by craft, and kill him.
2 Mme ba re, “Ga re ka ke ra dira jalo ka letsasi la modiro wa Tlolaganyo, e ka re kgotsa ga nna pheretlhego.”
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be a commotion among the people.
3 Ka lobaka loo Jesu o ne a le kwa Bethania, mo tlung ya ga Simone wa molepero; ka nako ya dijo tsa maitseboa, mosadi mongwe a tla a tshotse kurwana ya setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo se se nkgang monate. Hong a thuba kurwana, a tshela setlolo mo tlhogong ya gagwe.
And when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, a woman came, having an alabaster vase of ointment, of genuine spikenard, of vast value: and breaking the vase, she let it flow down upon his head.
4 Bangwe ba ba neng ba le fa lomating lwa bojelo ba galefa thata kaga “tshenyo” eo, ka fa ba neng ba bua ka teng. Ba re, “O ka bo a rekisitse setlolo seo ka tlhwatlhwa e e kwa godimo mme a naya bahumanegi madi ao!”
And there were some who felt indignation within themselves, saying, Wherefore is this waste of the ointment made?
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they bitterly murmured against her.
6 Mme Jesu a re, “Mo leseng, lo mo omanyetsang ka go dira selo se se molemo.
Then said Jesus, Let her alone; why give ye her uneasiness? she hath performed a laudable act towards me.
7 Gonne lo na le bahumanegi malatsi otlhe mme ba tlhoka thuso mo go lona thata, lo ka kgona go ba thusa nako nngwe le nngwe e lo batlang go ba thusa ka yone; mme ga ke na go nna le lona ka lobaka lo lo leele.
For the poor ye have always with you, and when ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 O dirile se a neng a ka se kgona, mmele wa me o o tloleditse phitlho go sa le gale.
What was in her power she hath done; she has seized the opportunity to anoint my body beforehand for burial.
9 Mme ke lo bolelela ka tlhwaafalo ya boammaaruri gore gongwe le gongwe kwa Mafoko a a Molemo a rerwang gone mo lefatsheng lotlhe, tiro ya mosadi yo, e tlaa nna e gakologelwa, e bo e galalediwa.”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached through the whole world, there shall, what she hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
10 Mme Judase Isekariota, mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, a ya kwa ditlhogong tsa baperesiti go ya go rulaganya go ba okela Jesu.
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, that he might betray him unto them.
11 Erile fa baperesiti ba bagolo ba utlwa gore o tletse eng ba itumela thata ba bo ba mo solofetsa tuelo. Hong a simolola go batla nako e e siameng le lefelo le o ka okelang Jesu mo go lone.
When they heard it, they rejoiced, and promised to give him a sum in silver. And he watched how opportunely he might deliver him up.
12 Ka letsatsi la ntlha la modiro wa Tlolaganyo, letsatsi le go neng go ntshiwa ditlhabelo tsa dikonyana, barutwa ba gagwe ba mmotsa gore o rata go ya go jela modiro wa Tlolaganyo kae?
And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare for thee to eat the passover?
13 Mme a roma ba le babedi kwa Jerusalema go ya go dira dithulaganyo a ba raya a re, “E tlaa re fa lo sa ntse lo tsamaya, lo tlaa bona monna a tla a lebaganye le lona a rwele nkgwana ya metse. Lo mo sale morago.
And he sent two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water, follow him.
14 Mo tlung e o tsenang mo go yone, bolelelang mong-wa ntlo lo re, ‘Morena wa rona o re rometse go tla go bona ntlwana e lo e re baakanyeditseng, e re tlaa jelang modiro wa Tlolaganyo mo go yone maitseboeng ano!’
And where he enters, say to the master of the family. That the teacher saith, Where is the dining-room, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
15 O tlaa lo isa kwa ntlwaneng e e kwa godimo e kgolo e e baakantsweng. Baakanyang dijo tsa rona gone.”
And he will shew you a large upper room ready furnished: there make preparation for us.
16 Mme barutwa ba babedi ba tswelela jalo ba tsena mo motsing ba fitlhela sengwe le sengwe se ntse jaaka Jesu a ba boleletse, mme ba baakanyetsa Tlolaganyo.
And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had spoken to them; and they made ready the passover.
17 Mo maitseboeng Jesu a goroga le barutwa ba bangwe,
And when it was evening he came with the twelve.
18 mme ya re ba ntse fa lomating lwa bojelo ba a ja, Jesu a re “Ammaaruri ke a lo raya mongwe wa lona o tlaa nkoka, mongwe wa lona yo o leng fano yo ke jang nae.”
And as they sat at table, and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I tell you, That one of you, who is eating with me, shall betray me.
19 Mme ba tlala khutsafalo e kgolo botlhe, mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a mmotsa a re, “A ke nna?”
And they began to be very sorry, and to say to him, one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 Mme a araba a re, “Ke mongwe wa lona ba ba lesome le bobedi yo ke jang nae fano gompeino.
But he answering said to them, It is one of the twelve, who is dipping his hand with me into the dish.
21 Ke tshwanetse go swa, fela jaaka baporofiti ba boletse bogologolo; mme a bo go latlhega monna yo o nkokang. Go ka bo go le molemo fa a ka bo a sa tsalwa.”
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him; but wo to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been desirable for that man if he had never been born.
22 Ya re ba ntse baa ja Jesu a tsaya senkgwe a se segofatsa a se ngathoganya a se ba naya a re, “Jaang se, ke mmele wa me.”
And as they were eating, Jesus taking a loaf, when he had blessed, brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
23 A tsaya senwelo sa mofine a leboga Modimo kaga sone a se ba naya, mme botlhe ba a nwa mo go sone.
And taking the cup, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them; and they all drank out of it.
24 Mme a ba raya a re, “Se ke madi a me, a a tshololetsweng batho ba le bantsi, a a kanelang kgolagano e ncha ya Modimo le batho.
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Ammaaruri ke a lo raya ga nke ke tlhola ke e nwa loungo lwa mofine go fitlhelela letsatsi le ke nwang mofuta o sele mo Bogosing jwa Modimo.”
Verily I say unto you, That I will henceforth no more drink of the produce of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 Hong ba opela sefela mme ba ya kwa Thabeng ya Lotlhware.
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
27 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Lotlhe lo tlaa ntlogela, gonne Modimo o buile jaana ka baporofiti wa re, ‘Ke tlaa ya kwa Galalea go ya go kopana le lona teng.’”
And Jesus saith to them, All ye will be offended at me this night; for it is written, “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed:”
28 Petere a mo raya a re, “Nna ga nkake ka go tlogela le fa ba bangwe ba ka go tlogela!”
but after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Then said Peter unto him, Though all should be offended, yet will not I.
30 Jesu a re, “Petere, Pele ga koko e tonanyana e lela la bobedi ka moso mo mosong o tla bo o intatotse gararo.”
And Jesus saith to him, Verily I tell thee, That to-day, in the course of this very night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.
31 Mme Petere a re, “Nnyaa! Le fa nkabo ke na le go swa nao ga nkake ka go itatola!” Mme ba ikana fela jalo botlhe.
But he said with more vehement assertion, Though I should die with thee, yet would I in no wise deny thee. And they all spake also in the same manner.
32 Hong ba fitlha fa felong fa go bidiwang tshimo ya Gethesemane, a feta a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Nnang fa, ke sa ntse ke ya go rapela.”
And they come to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here whilst I shall pray.
33 Mme a tsaya Petere, Jakobe le Johane a ya nabo, a simolola go fuduega thata le go tshwenyega.
And he taketh Peter, and James, and John, with him; and he began to be filled with horrible dread, and to be sunk under dejection of spirit:
34 A ba raya a re, “Mowa wa me o hutsafetse thata mo ruri go isang losong; nnang fano, lo lebelele le nna.”
and he saith to them, My soul is deeply afflicted even to death: abide here, and watch.
35 A tsamaela fa pelenyana a wela fa fatshe, a rapela gore fa go ne go kgonega nako e e boitshegang e e mo letetseng e seka ya mo diragalela.
And he went a little farther forward, and fell on the earth, and prayed, that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.
36 Mme a re, “Rara, Rara, dilo tsotlhe di ka diragala mo go wena. Tlosa senwelo se mo go nna. Le fa go ntse jalo ke batla thato ya gago, eseng ya me.”
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
37 Hong a boela kwa barutweng ba gagwe ba bararo a ba fitlhela ba robetse, a re, “Simone a o robetse? A o ne o sa ka ke wa leta le nna lobaka lwa oura e le nngwe fela?
And he came and found them asleep: and saith unto Peter, Sleepest thou? hast thou not strength to watch with me a single hour?
38 lebelelang le nna lo rapele gore moraedi a seka a lo fenya. Gonne le fa mowa o le tlhaga mmele o bokoa.”
Watch ye and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
39 Mme a boa gape a ya go rapela, a boeletsa kopo ya gagwe.
And again he went away, and prayed, speaking the same sentence.
40 A boela gape kwa go bone a fitlhela ba robetse, gonne ba ne ba lapile thata. Ba bile ba sa itse ka fa ba ka mo fetolang ka teng.
And when he returned, he found them again sleeping; for their eyes were weighed down: and they knew not what to answer him.
41 La boraro fa a boela kwa go bone a ba raya a re, “Tswelelang lo robale; Lo itapolose! Nnyaa! Nako ya go robala e setse e fetile! Bonang! ke okelwa mo diatleng tsa batho ba ba bosula.
Then the third time he cometh, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and repose: it is enough, the hour is come; lo! the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners;
42 Tsogang! Re tshwanetse go tsamaya! yo o nkokang o gaufi!”
arise, let us go; behold, the traitor approaches me.
43 Mme erile ka bonako a sa ntse a bua, Judase mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe a goroga le setlhopha sa batho ba ba ipapanneng ka dichaka le melamu ba ba romilweng ke baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuta.
And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, and a great multitude with him, with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders.
44 Judase o ne a ba boleletse gore, “Yo ke tlaa yang kwa go ene go mo dumedisa, lo itse gore ke ene mme lo mo tshware. Mme lo ka mo tsaya motlhofo.”
Now he that betrayed him, had given them a countersign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, seize him, and lead him off safely.
45 Mme erile fela jaaka ba goroga, a tlhamalalela kwa go Jesu, a re, “Morena!” Mme a mo tlamparela ka tshupo ya botsalano jo bogolo.
And coming, he immediately drew up to him and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.
46 Jalo setlhopha sa batho sa mo tshwara.
Then they laid their hands on him, and seized him.
47 Gone fela foo, mongwe a somola chaka, a kgaola motlhanka wa moperesiti yo mogolo tsebe.
And one particular person of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 Jesu a ba botsa a re, “A ke serukhutlhi se se diphatsa, gore lo bo lo tla ka tsela e lo tlang ka yone, lo tla kwa go nna lo ipapanne ka ditlhabano?
And Jesus addressing them said, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to apprehend me?
49 Ke eng lo ile lwa seka lwa ntshwara kwa Tempeleng? Ke ne ke le teng koo, ke ruta letsatsi le letsatsi. Mme le fa go ntse jalo, dilo tse di dirafala gore di tlatse diperofeso tse di buang ka ga me.”
Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye laid no hold upon me: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
50 Ka nakonyana, barutwa ba gagwe botlhe ba bo ba tshabile.
Then they all deserting him, fled.
51 Mme le fa go ntse jalo ga bo go le lekawana lengwe le mo setse morago, le apere seaparo sa leloba e le seaparo sa bosigo. Ya re setlhopha seo se leka go mo tshwara, a falola, le fa go ntse jalo diaparo tsa gagwe tsa gagoga, a tshaba a sa ikatega.
And a certain youth followed him, having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and the young men laid hold of him;
and leaving the linen cloth behind, he fled naked from them.
53 Hong Jesu a isiwa kwa legaeng la Moperesiti yo Mogolo kwa bagolwane botlhe ba baperesiti le baeteledipele bangwe ba Sejuta ba neng ba phuthaganela teng.
And they led Jesus unto the high-priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes.
54 Mme Petere a bo a mo setse morago a le kgakalanyana nae a ba a tla a tsena ka kgoro ya motse wa Moperesiti yo Mogolo a kotama fa molelong a nna fa gare ga batlhanka.
And Peter followed him at a distance, until he came into the palace of the high-priest: and was seated with the servants, and warming himself at the fire.
55 Mo teng baperesiti ba bagolo le ba Kgotla kgolo ya tshekelo ya Sejuta ba ne ba leka go bona sengwe se ba ka pegang Jesu molato ka sone gore ba tle ba mmolaye. Mme ga se ka ga kgonega.
Then the chief priests, and the whole sanhedrim, sought for witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; yet found none.
56 Basupi ba le bantsi ba maaka ba ne ba ithaopa, mme bosupi jwa bone jwa ganetsanya.
For many bore false witness against him, and their attestations did not correspond.
57 Lwa bofelo ga ema banna ba bangwe ba bua maaka ka ga gagwe ba re,
And certain persons rising up, bore false witness against him, saying,
58 “Re mo utlwile a re, ‘Ke tlaa senya Tempele e e agilweng ka diatla tsa batho mme mo malatsing a le mararo ke tlaa aga e nngwe e e sa dirwang ka diatla!’”
We have heard him affirm, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and after three days I will build another not made with hands.
59 Le fa go ntse jalo ga ba ise ba ke ba bo ba bue polelo e e tlhamaletseng!
But even then their testimony was not correspondent.
60 Hong Moperesiti yo mogolo a ema fa pele ga Lekgotla a botsa Jesu a re, “A o gana go arabela molato o? O na le eng se o ka iphemelang ka sone?”
So the high-priest rising up in the midst interrogated Jesus, Answerest thou nothing? What is it that these witness against thee?
61 Mme Jesu a seka a araba. Hong Moperesiti yo mogolo a mmotsa a re, “A o Mesia, Morwa Modimo?”
But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?
62 Jesu a araba a re, “Ke ene, mme lo tlaa mpona ke ntse ka fa letsogong la Modimo le legolo, ke tla mo lefatsheng ka maru a legodimo.”
Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
63 Hong moperesiti yo Mogolo a ikgagola diaparo a re, “Re sa ntse re tlhoka eng gape? Re sa ntse re tlhoka bosupi jwa eng? Lo setse lo utlwile tlhapatso ya gagwe. Katlholo ya lona ya reng?” Mme ba dumalana ka bongwe fela jwa pelo gore a atlholelwe loso.
Then the high-priest rent his clothes, and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?
Ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? And they all adjudged him to be deserving of death.
65 Mme bangwe ba bone ba simolola go mo kgwela mathe, ba mmipa sefatlhogo ba mo itaya ka mabole. Ba mo sotla ba re, “Ke mang yo o go iteileng moporofiti?” Ba mo nyonnyobetsa. Le masole tota a ne a mo itaya ka mabole fa a ntse a tsamaya nae.
And some began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants slapped him on the face with their hands.
66 Mme ka lobaka loo Petere o ne a le kwa tlase mo lolwapaneng. Mongwe wa basetsana ba ba neng ba direla Moperesiti yo Mogolo a lemoga Petere a ikomosa fa molelong. A tsepega Petere matlho a goa a re, “O ne o na le Jesu, wa Monasara.”
And as Peter was in the hall, at the lower end, there came to him one of the high-priest’s maid-servants:
and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
68 Petere a itatola a re, “Ga ke itse se o buang ka ga sone!” A tswela kwa ntle kwa mathuding a lolwapa. Gone fela foo koko e tonanyana ya lela.
Then he denied it, saying, I do not so much as know him, nor understand what thou art saying. And he went out into the vestibule; and the cock crew.
69 Mme morweetsana a mmona a eme foo a simolola go bolelela ba bangwe, a re, “Ke yole morutwa wa ga Jesu!”
And a maid-servant observing him again; began to say to those who stood by, This man is one of them.
70 Petere a itatola gape. Moragonyana bangwe ba ba neng ba dikaganyeditse molelo ba simolola go raya Petere ba re, “Le wena o mongwe wa bone, gonne o tswa Galalea!”
Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.
71 A simolola go tlhapatsa a ikana a re, “Ga ke mo itse monna yo lo buang ka ga gagwe.”
Then began he to make the most dreadful imprecations, and to swear, I know not the man of whom ye speak.
72 Ka bonako koko e tonanyana ya lela lwa bobedi. Mme Petere a gakologelwa mafoko a ga Jesu a a reng, “Pele ga koko e tonanyana e lela lwa bobedi o tla a bo o intatotse gararo.” Mme a simolola go lela.
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake unto him, That before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And casting his mantle over his face, he wept.
