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 it was the Passover and the Unleavened [cakes], after two days. And the High-priests and Scribes were seeking, how, with guile, they might secure, and lay 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.”
for they were saying—Not in the feast, lest there be an uproar of 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, he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, there came a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of perfume, pure spikenard, very costly; and breaking the jar she was pouring down [the perfume], 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!”
But there were some much displeased among themselves—To what end hath, this waste of the perfume happened?
For this perfume could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute! and they were indignant with her.
6 Mme Jesu a re, “Mo leseng, lo mo omanyetsang ka go dira selo se se molemo.
But, Jesus, said—Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in 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, always, have ye, the destitute, with you, and whensoever ye please, ye can, unto them, [at any time] do well! But, me, not, always, have ye.
8 O dirile se a neng a ka se kgona, mmele wa me o o tloleditse phitlho go sa le gale.
What she had, she used, —She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the 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.”
And, verily, say unto you—Wheresoever the glad-message shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world, —also what she did, will 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.
And, Judas Iscariot, who was one of he twelve, went away unto the High-priests, that, him, he might deliver up 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.
Now, when they heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him, silver; and he was seeking how, at a favourable opportunity, 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 the unleavened cakes, when, the passover, they were slaying, his disciples say unto him—Where wilt thou, we depart and make ready, that thou mayest 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 sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them—Go your way into the city, and there will meet you a man, a jar of water, bearing, —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, wheresoever he shall enter, say ye unto the householder—The teacher, saith, Where is my lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?
15 O tlaa lo isa kwa ntlwaneng e e kwa godimo e kgolo e e baakantsweng. Baakanyang dijo tsa rona gone.”
And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper-room, spread ready, and, there, make ye ready 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 the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found, according as he had said unto them, —and they made ready the passover.
17 Mo maitseboeng Jesu a goroga le barutwa ba bangwe,
And, when evening arrived, he cometh, 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 were reclining and eating, Jesus said—Verily, I say unto you—One from among you, will deliver me up, he that is eating with me.
19 Mme ba tlala khutsafalo e kgolo botlhe, mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a mmotsa a re, “A ke nna?”
They began to be grieved, and to be saying unto him, one by one, —Can it be, I?
20 Mme a araba a re, “Ke mongwe wa lona ba ba lesome le bobedi yo ke jang nae fano gompeino.
And, he, said unto them—One of the twelve, he that is dipping with me into the [one] bowl:
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.”
Because, the Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, —according as it is written concerning him; but alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man is being delivered up, —Well for him, if that man, had not 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, taking a loaf, he blessed and brake, and gave unto them, and said—Take! 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 a cup, he offered thanks, and gave unto them; and they, all, drank 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 covenant, that is to be poured out in behalf of 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—No more, will I in anywise drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall be drinking it new, in the kingdom of God.
26 Hong ba opela sefela mme ba ya kwa Thabeng ya Lotlhware.
And, having sung praise, they went forth unto 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 unto them—Ye, all, will find cause of stumbling, because it is written, —I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep, will be scattered abroad;
28 Petere a mo raya a re, “Nna ga nkake ka go tlogela le fa ba bangwe ba ka go tlogela!”
But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
And, Peter, said unto him—Even if, all, shall find cause of stumbling, certainly 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 unto him—Verily, I say unto thee, thou, this day, in this night, before that twice a cock crow, thrice, will 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, most vehemently, was saying—Even though I must needs die with thee, in nowise, will I, deny thee. Likewise, indeed, were, all besides, saying.
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 into an estate the name of which is Gethsemane, and he saith unto his disciples—Sit ye here, while I 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 began to be exceedingly amazed, and in great distress;
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 unto them—Encompassed with grief is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching.
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, going forward a little, he fell upon the ground, and was praying 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 was saying—Abba! O Father! All things, are possible to thee: Bear aside this cup from me; but not what, I, will, but what, 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 cometh and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter—Simon! art thou sleeping? Hadst thou not strength, one hour, to watch?
38 lebelelang le nna lo rapele gore moraedi a seka a lo fenya. Gonne le fa mowa o le tlhaga mmele o bokoa.”
Be watching and praying, that ye enter not into temptation: the, spirit, indeed, is willing, but, the flesh, weak.
39 Mme a boa gape a ya go rapela, a boeletsa kopo ya gagwe.
And, again, departing, he prayed, [the same thing, saying].
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, again, coming, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were being, 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.
And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them—Ye are sleeping the remaining time and taking your rest: —It is enough! the hour hath come! Lo! the Son of Man is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.
42 Tsogang! Re tshwanetse go tsamaya! yo o nkokang o gaufi!”
Be rousing yourselves, let us be leading on! Lo! he that is delivering me up, hath drawn near.
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, straightway, while yet he is speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, cometh near, and, with him, a multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and the Scribes and the 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.”
He that is delivering him up hath given an agreed sign unto them, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is! Secure him, and be leading away, 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, straightway, stepping forward to him, he saith—Rabbi! and openly kissed him.
46 Jalo setlhopha sa batho sa mo tshwara.
And, they, thrust their hands on him, and secured him.
47 Gone fela foo, mongwe a somola chaka, a kgaola motlhanka wa moperesiti yo mogolo tsebe.
[A certain] one of the by-standers, drawing a sword, smote the servant of the High priest, and took 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, answering, said unto them—As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest 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 secured me not. But, that, the Scriptures, may be fulfilled…
50 Ka nakonyana, barutwa ba gagwe botlhe ba bo ba tshabile.
And they, all, forsook, him, and 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 young man, was following with him, having cast about himself a fine Indian cloth, over his naked body, —and they are securing him;
but, he, leaving behind the cloth, fled naked.
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 away Jesus unto the High-priest; and all the High-priests and the Elders and the Scribes gather together.
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, afar of, followed him, as far as within, into the court of the High-priest; and was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself by the light.
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.
Now, the High-priest, and all the High-council, were seeking, against Jesus, testimony, with the intent to put him to death, —and were not finding any;
56 Basupi ba le bantsi ba maaka ba ne ba ithaopa, mme bosupi jwa bone jwa ganetsanya.
for, many, were bearing false-witness against him, and the testimonies were not, agreed.
57 Lwa bofelo ga ema banna ba bangwe ba bua maaka ka ga gagwe ba re,
And some, standing up, were bearing 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, heard him saying, I, will pull down this shrine, the one made by hand, and, in three days, another, not made by hand, will I raise.
59 Le fa go ntse jalo ga ba ise ba ke ba bo ba bue polelo e e tlhamaletseng!
And, not even so, was the testimony, agreed.
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?”
And, the High-priest rising up into the midst, questioned Jesus, saying—Answerest thou, nothing? What are these, against thee, witnessing?
61 Mme Jesu a seka a araba. Hong Moperesiti yo mogolo a mmotsa a re, “A o Mesia, Morwa Modimo?”
But, he, was silent, and answered, nothing. Again, the High-priest was questioning him, and saith unto him—Art, thou, the Christ 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.”
And Jesus said—I, am; and ye shall see the Son of Man—sitting, on 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.
And, the High-priest, having rent asunder his inner-garments, saith—What, further, need have we, of witnesses?
Heard ye the profanity? What, to you, doth it appear? And they, all, condemned him to be, worthy, 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 be spitting at him, and, covering up his face, and to be buffeting him, and saying to him—Prophesy! And, the attendants, with smart blows, took him.
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, Peter, being, below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the High-priest;
and, seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, saith—And, thou, wast, with the Nazarene—with Jesus.
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.
But, he, denied, saying—I neither know [him], nor do I well understand what, thou, sayest; and went out into the porch.
69 Mme morweetsana a mmona a eme foo a simolola go bolelela ba bangwe, a re, “Ke yole morutwa wa ga Jesu!”
And, the maid-servant, seeing him, began, again, to be saying unto the by-standers—This one, is, from among 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!”
But, he, again, was denying. And, after a little again, the by-standers, were saying unto Peter—Truly, thou, art, from among them; for thou art, a Galilaean, also.
71 A simolola go tlhapatsa a ikana a re, “Ga ke mo itse monna yo lo buang ka ga gagwe.”
And, he, began to be cursing and swearing—I know not this man, of whom ye are speaking!
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, straightway, a second time, a cock, crowed; and Peter was reminded of the declaration, how Jesus had said to him—Before a cock, twice, crow, thrice, wilt thou deny me. And, when he thought thereon, he began to weep.
