Mareko 6
1 Mme ka bofefo morago ga moo a tloga mo kgaolong eo a boela le barutwa ba gagwe ba ya Nasaretha, motse wa ga gabo.
And he departed thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2 Mme ka Sabata se se latelang a ya kwa Tempeleng go ya go ruta, mme batho ba gakgamalela botlhale jwa gagwe le dikgakgamatso tsa gagwe ka ntlha ya gore e ne e le motho fela yo o tshwanang le bone. Mme ba bua ba tenegile ba re, “Ga a botoka go na le rona. Ke mmetli fela, morwa Marea, mogoloa Jakobe le Josefe, Judase le Simone. Le bokgaitsadie re agile nabo.”
And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said: Whence has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty deeds are done by his hands?
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they found in him cause for offense.
4 Hong Jesu a ba raya a re, “Moporofiti o tlotlwa gongwe le gongwe fela fa e se mo ga gabo le mo losikeng lwa gagwe le mo go ba ntlo ya gagwe.”
But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, unless in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.
5 Mme ka ntlha ya go tlhoka go dumela ga bone a se ka a kgona go dira dikgakgamatso tse di tona mo go bone, fa e se fela go baya diatla mo baboboding ba se kae, a ba fodisa.
And he was unable to do any mighty deed there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick persons and cured them;
6 Mme a gakgamalela go tlhoka tumelo ga bone. Hong a tswa a tsamaya mo metseng, a ruta.
and he wondered at their unbelief. And he went to the villages round about, and taught.
7 A bitsa barutwa ba gagwe ba ba lesome le bobedi a ba roma ka bobedi le bobedi, a ba neetse nonofo ya go kgoromeletsa ntle mewa e e maswe.
And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out, two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 A ba raya a re, ba se ka ba tsaya sepe fa e se dithobane tse ba tsamayang ka tsone (diikokotlelo) le fa e le dijo, le fa e le kgetsana le fa e le madi, le fa e le ditlhako kgotsa diaparo tse dingwe.
And he commanded them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purses;
but to be shod with sandals, and not to put on two coats.
10 A ba raya a re, “Fa lo tsena mo motsing nnang mo lwapeng lo le longwe, se suteng fa lo leng teng go tsena ntlo le ntlwana fa lo sa ntse lo le mo motsing oo.
And he said to them: Wherever you enter a house, there make your home till you depart from that place.
11 Fa e le gore ba motse ga ba lo amogele kgotsa ga ba lo reetse itlhotlhoreng lorole mo dinaung tsa lona lo tsamaye; ke sesupo sa gore lo tlogeletse motse oo tshekiso.”
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out from that place, shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12 Barutwa ba tsamaya, ba bolelela mongwe le mongwe yo ba kopanang nae gore a sokologe mo dibeng.
And they went out and preached that men should repent;
13 Mme ba kgoromeletsa ntle mewa e e maswe e le mentsi ba fodisa babobodi ba le bantsi ba ba tlotsa ka lookwane.
and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and cured them.
14 Mme ka bofefo Kgosi Herode a utlwa kaga Jesu, gonne dikgakgamatso tsa gagwe di ne di buiwa gongwe le gongwe. Kgosi e ne e akanya gore Jesu ke Johane wa Mokolobetsi a boetse mo botshelong. Hong batho ba ne ba re, “Ga go gakgamatse fa a ka dira dikgakgamatso tse di kalo.”
And Herod the king heard of him, for his name had become known; and he said: John the Immerser has risen from the dead, and for this reason, the powers of the spiritual world are active within him.
15 Mme ba bangwe ba ne ba gopola gore Jesu ke Elija Moporofiti wa bogologolo o ka ne a boetse gape mo botshelong; ba bangwe ba gopola gore ke moporofiti yo mosha yo o tshwanang le bangwe ba ba tona ba bogologolo.
Others said: He is Elijah. Others said: He is a prophet like one of the prophets.
16 Herode a re, “Nnyaa, ke Johane, monna yo ke mo kgaotseng tlhogo. O tsogile mo baswing.”
But when Herod heard of him, he said: John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead.
17 Gonne Herode o ne a rometse masole go tshwara Johane go mo isa kgolegelong ka ntlha ya gore o ne a tswelela a ntse a re, ke phoso fa kgosi e nyala Herodiase, mogatsa Filipo monnawe kgosi.
For Herod himself had sent and taken John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.
For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.
19 Herodiase o ne a batla gore Johane a bolawe a ipusulosetse, le fa go ntse jalo, kwa ntle ga tumalano ya ga Herode, Herodiase a palelwa.
And Herodias was angry with him, and desired to have him killed, and was not able;
20 Herode o ne a tlotla Johane, a itse fa e le motho yo o molemo a bile a le boitshepo, foo a mmaya ka fa tlase ga tshireletso ya gagwe. Herode o ne a tshwenyega nako tsotlhe fa a bua le Johane, le fa go ntse jalo o ne a rata go mo reetsa.
for Herod feared John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man; and he kept him in safety. And having heard him, he did many things, and heard him with pleasure.
21 Mme ya re la bofelo lobaka lwa ga Herodiase la tla. Ya re letsatsi la botsalo jwa ga Herode, Herode a direla bagolwane ba bogosi jwa gagwe mokete le bagolwane ba sesole, le baeteledipele ba baagedi ba motse wa Galalea.
And a suitable day having come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper for his great men, and his chief officers, and the first men of Galilee;
22 Hong ngwana wa mosetsana wa ga Herodiase a tla a bina fa pele ga bone ka botswerere a ba itumedisa fela botlhe. Kgosi ya mo raya ya re, “Nkopa sengwe se o se ratang,” “Le fa e le bontlha jwa bogosi jwa me, mme ke tla bo go naya!”
and the daughter of this Herodias having come in, and danced, and pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the maiden: Ask me what you will, and I will give it to you.
And he swore to her: Whatever you ask, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom.
24 Mme a tsamaya a ya go itsise mmaagwe, yo o neng a mo raya a re, “Lopa tlhogo ya ga Johone wa Mokolobetsi!”
But she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask? She replied: The head of John the Immerser.
25 Hong a boela kwa morago kwa kgosing a ya go e bolelela, a re, “Ke batla tlhogo ya ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi e le mo mogopong.”
And she came in immediately, with haste, to the king, and made her request, saying: I desire that you give me, at once, in a dish, the head of John the Immerser.
26 Mme kgosi ya hutsahala thata, ya tlhajwa ke ditlhong go roba maikano a yone fa pele ga baeng ba yone.
And the king was very sad; yet, on account of his oath and his guests, he would not reject her.
27 Hong a roma mongwe wa batlhokomedi ba gagwe kwa kgolegelong go ya go kgaola tlhogo ya ga Johane le go e lere kwa go ene. Mme lesole la ya go bolaya Johane mo kgolegelong,
And the king immediately sent one of his guards, and commanded his head to be brought.
28 a tla ka tlhogo ya ga Johane e le mo mogopong, a e naya mosetsana, mosetsana ene a ya go e naya mmaagwe.
And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the maiden; and the maiden gave it to her mother.
29 Erile barutwa ba ga Johane ba utlwa se se diragetseng, ba tla ba tsaya mmele wa gagwe ba ya go o boloka mo lebitleng.
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30 Mme baaposetoloi ba boela kwa go Jesu ba tswa loetong lwa bone ba mmolelela gotlhe mo ba go dirileng le mo ba go buileng le batho ba ba neng ba ba etela.
And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31 Hong Jesu a ba raya a re, “A re tsweng mo bontsing jwa batho ka lobakanyana re yeng go itapolosa.” Gonne go ne go na le batho ba le bantsi ba ba tlang le ba ba tsamayang ba sena nako le ya go ja tota.
And he said to them: Come yourselves privately into a desert place, and rest awhile. For there were many coming and going, and they had not leisure even to eat.
32 Mme ba tsamaya ka mokoro ba ya fa lefelong le le tuuletseng.
And they went away, by ship, into a desert place, privately.
33 Mme batho ba le bantsi ba ba bona ba tsamaya mme ba tabogela kwa pele ba le mo lotshitshing ba ba kgatlhantsha fa ba tswa mo mokorong.
And many saw them departing, and recognized him; and they ran thither on foot from all the cities, and went before them, and came together to him.
34 Fela jaaka gale, bontsi jwa batho jwa bo bo le teng fa a tswa mo mokorong; mme a ba tlhomogela pelo ka ntlha ya gore ba ne ba tshwana le dinku tse di senang modisa a ba ruta dilo di le dintsi tse ba tshwanetseng go di itse.
And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep that had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 Mme morago ga tshokologo ya letsatsi barutwa ba gagwe ba tla kwa go ene ba re, “Bolelela batho gore ba tsamaye ba ye kwa metsing e e gaufi le masimo ba ye go itshenkela dijo, gonne ga go na sepe se se ka jewang mo thoteng e, gape go nna bosigo.”
And when much of the day was now spent, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and much of the day is now spent;
send them away, that they may go into the country and the villages round about, and buy bread for themselves: for they have nothing to eat.
37 Hong Jesu a re, “Ba fepeng.” Mme ba botsa ba re, “Ka eng? Go tlaa lopa madi a le mantsi go reka dijo tsa bontsi jo bo kana!”
He answered and said to them: Do you give them food. And they said to him: Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them food?
38 Mme a ba botsa a re, “Re na le dijo di le kana kang? Tsamayang lo yeng go bona.” Mme ba tla gape go tla go mmolelela gore go na le dinkgwe di le tlhano le ditlhapi di le pedi.
He said to them: How many loaves have you? Go and see. And when they had learned, they said: Five, and two fishes.
39 Hong Jesu a bolelela bontsi jwa batho gore ba nne fa fatshe, mme ka bonako ba kgaoganngwa ka ditlhopha tsa masome a matlhano kgotsa lekgolo mme botlhe ba bo ba ntse mo bojannyeng jo botala.
And he commanded them to make all recline in table parties upon the green grass.
And they reclined in oblong squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 Hong a tsaya dinkgwe tse tlhano le ditlhapi tse pedi a leba kwa legodimong, a lebogela dijo tseo. A ngathoganya dinkgwe go nna dikapetlana, a neela barutwa ba gagwe bontlha bongwe jwa dinkgwe le ditlhapi go di fa batho.
And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed; and he broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to place before them. And he divided the two fishes among them all.
42 Mme batho baa ja botlhe ba kgora!
And they all ate, and were satisfied;
43 Go ne go le banna ba ka nna dikete di le tlhano ka nako ya dijo, morago ga moo ditlatlana di le lesome le bobedi tsa tlala masalela a a neng a selwa fa fatshe mo bojannyeng!
and they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces, and of the fishes.
And those who ate of the loaves were about five thousand men.
45 Mme ka bonako morago ga moo Jesu a laola barutwa ba gagwe gore ba boele mo mokorong ba kgabaganye lecha ba ye Bethesaida, kwa o neng a tlaa kopana le bone teng morago. Fa Ene a ne a sa ntse a saletse go sadisa batho sentle gore ba boele gae.
And he immediately compelled his disciples to get into the ship, and to go before him to the opposite side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.
46 Morago ga moo a tsamaya a ya kwa dithabeng go rapela.
And when he had sent them away, he went into the mountain to pray.
47 Mme ya re bosigo, fa barutwa ba gagwe ba le mo mokorong mo gare ga lecha, ene a bo a le nosi ka kwa ntle ga lecha.
And when evening came, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land.
48 Mme a bona fa ba le mo matshwenyegong a magolo, ba hudua ka bothata le go kgaratlha kgatlhanong le phefo e e tsubutlang le makhubu a lewatle. Erile e ka ne e le nako ya boraro mo mosong a tsamaela kwa go bone mo godimo ga metsi. Mme ya re ekete o a ba feta,
And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking on the sea, and intended to pass by them.
49 ba bona sengwe se tsamaya tsamaya fa thoko ga bone ba goa ka letshogo, ba gopola fa e le sepoko,
But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a specter, and cried out;
50 gonne ba ne ba mmona botlhe. Mme a bua le bone a re, “Go siame, se boifeng! Ke nna.”
for they all saw him, and were troubled. And he immediately spoke to them, and said: Take courage; it is I; be not afraid.
51 Hong a palama mo mokorong, phefo ya didimala! Ba nna fela foo ba gakgametse.
And he went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered;
52 Gonne ba ne ba ise ba lemoge gore ke mang le fa e le morago ga kgakgamatso ya maabane maitsiboa! Gonne ba ne ba sa batle go dumela.
for they had learned nothing from the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
53 Mme ya re ba fitlha kwa Geneseretha ka fa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha ba bohelela mokoro,
And when they had passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, and drew the ship ashore.
54 ba fologa. Mme batho ba ba neng ba eme mo tikologong eo ba mo lemoga fela ka nako eo,
And when they had come out of the ship, the people immediately recognized him,
55 mme ba taboga le tikologo yotlhe ba anamisa dikgang kaga kgorogo ya gagwe, ba simolola go rwalela balwetse kwa go ene ka mapara le ka meseme.
and ran through the whole of that region round about, and began to carry the sick on beds, wherever they heard that he was.
56 Gongwe le gongwe mo a neng a tsamaya teng, mo metsaneng le mo metseng e megolo, le kwa ntle kwa masimo, ba baya balwetse mo dipatlelong tsa marekelo le mo ditseleng ba mo rapela gore a ba letle ba ame makantsa a diaparo tsa gagwe; mme botlhe ba ba mo amileng ba fodisiwa.
And whatever place he entered, whether villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his mantle: and as many as touched him were saved.
