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.
It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception 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.”
For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot 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.
While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over 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 who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
6 Mme Jesu a re, “Mo leseng, lo mo omanyetsang ka go dira selo se se molemo.
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for 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 you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
8 O dirile se a neng a ka se kgona, mmele wa me o o tloleditse phitlho go sa le gale.
She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
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.”
Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of 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.
Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to 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.
They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
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?
On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may 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.
He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. 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 wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest 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.”
He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
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.
His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17 Mo maitseboeng Jesu a goroga le barutwa ba bangwe,
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.”
As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats 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 sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
20 Mme a araba a re, “Ke mongwe wa lona ba ba lesome le bobedi yo ke jang nae fano gompeino.
He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in 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.”
For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he 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.”
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke 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.
He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. 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.
He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out 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.”
Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
26 Hong ba opela sefela mme ba ya kwa Thabeng ya Lotlhware.
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.’”
Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28 Petere a mo raya a re, “Nna ga nkake ka go tlogela le fa ba bangwe ba ka go tlogela!”
However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
30 Jesu a re, “Petere, Pele ga koko e tonanyana e lela la bobedi ka moso mo mosong o tla bo o intatotse gararo.”
Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
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 spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
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.”
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 Mme a tsaya Petere, Jakobe le Johane a ya nabo, a simolola go fuduega thata le go tshwenyega.
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34 A ba raya a re, “Mowa wa me o hutsafetse thata mo ruri go isang losong; nnang fano, lo lebelele le nna.”
He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay 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.
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away 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.”
He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
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?
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one 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 and pray, that you may not enter 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.
Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
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.
Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know 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.
He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Tsogang! Re tshwanetse go tsamaya! yo o nkokang o gaufi!”
Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
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.
Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, 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.”
Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him 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.
When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46 Jalo setlhopha sa batho sa mo tshwara.
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.
But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the 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?
Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize 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.”
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50 Ka nakonyana, barutwa ba gagwe botlhe ba bo ba tshabile.
They all left 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.
A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
but he left the linen cloth and fled from them 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.
They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
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.
Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of 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.
Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56 Basupi ba le bantsi ba maaka ba ne ba ithaopa, mme bosupi jwa bone jwa ganetsanya.
For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
57 Lwa bofelo ga ema banna ba bangwe ba bua maaka ka ga gagwe ba re,
Some stood up and gave false testimony 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 say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
59 Le fa go ntse jalo ga ba ise ba ke ba bo ba bue polelo e e tlhamaletseng!
Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
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?”
The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
61 Mme Jesu a seka a araba. Hong Moperesiti yo mogolo a mmotsa a re, “A o Mesia, Morwa Modimo?”
But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you 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.”
Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
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.
The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” 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.
Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of 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.”
As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, 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 it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
69 Mme morweetsana a mmona a eme foo a simolola go bolelela ba bangwe, a re, “Ke yole morutwa wa ga Jesu!”
The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, “This 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!”
But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
71 A simolola go tlhapatsa a ikana a re, “Ga ke mo itse monna yo lo buang ka ga gagwe.”
But he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you 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.
The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
