Mareko 8
1 Ka letsatsi lengwe jaaka bontsi bo phuthega, batho ba felelwa ke dijo gape, Jesu a bitsa barutwa ba gagwe go tla go bua ka seemo seo. A re, “Ke utlwela batho ba botlhoko, gonne ga ba bolo go nna fano malatsi a le mararo, mme ga ba a salelwa ke sepe go se ja.
In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:
I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 Mme fa ke ba phatlalaletsa kwa magaeng a bone ke sa ba fa dijo ba tlaa idibalela mo tseleng! Gonne bangwe ba bone ba tswa kgakala.”
And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.
4 Mme ba mo fetola ka tshotlo ba re, “A re tshwanetse go ba senkela dijo fano mo sekakeng?”
And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?
5 A botsa a re, “Lo na le dinkgwe di le kae?” Mme bone ba re, “Di supa”.
And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.
6 Hong a raya bontsi jwa batho a re bo nne fa fatshe. Mme a tsaya dinkgwe di supa, a di lebogela, a di ngathoganya dikapetlana a di fetisetsa kwa barutweng, mme barutwa ba di abela batho.
And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.
7 Mme ba bo ba na le ditlhatswana di se kae, hong Jesu a di segofatsa a raya barutwa a re ba fe batho.
And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.
8 Hong bontsi jwa batho jwa a ja jotlhe go fitlhelela bo kgora, mme morago ga moo a ba phatlalaletsa kwa magaeng a bone. Go ne go na le batho ba ka nna dikete tse nne ka letsatsi leo. Mme ya re masalela a sena go kokoanngwa morago ga dijo ga sala diroto di supa tse di tona di tletse!
And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10 Ka bonako morago ga moo a tsena mo mokorong le barutwa ba gagwe a ya kwa kgaolong ya Dalemanutha.
And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 E rile baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba kgaolo eo ba utlwa gore o gorogile ba tla go tatalalana nae ba re, “Re direle kgakgamatso, dira gore sengwe se diragale mo loaping. Ke gone re tlaa dumelang mo go wena.”
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Mme a utlwa botlhoko fa a utlwa kafa ba buang ka teng mme a re, “Nnyaa bathong. Lo ntse lo batla dikgakgamatso dife?”
And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.
13 Hong a boela mo mokorong a ba tlogela, a tshelela ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.
And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water.
14 Mme barutwa ba bo ba lebetse go tsaya dijo pele ga ba tsamaya, mme ba ne ba na le senkgwe se le sengwe fela mo mokorong.
And they forgot to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
15 Ya re ba kgabaganya, Jesu a ba tlhagisa ka tlhoafalo a re, “Itlhokomeleng mo sebidisong sa ga Kgosi Herode le mo sebidisong sa Bafarasai.”
And he charged them, saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 Mme barutwa ba botsanya ba re, “O rayang?” Ya re kwa bofelong ba akanya gore o tshwanetse a ba a bua ka go lebala ga bone go tla le senkgwe.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread.
17 Jesu a lemoga se ba neng ba se bua mme a re, “Nnyaa, ga go a nna jalo gotlhelele! A ga lo tlhaloganye? A dipelo tsa lona di thata go ka lemoga?
Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded?
18 Fela jaaka Isaia a boletse, ‘Matlho a lona ke a go re lo bone ka one--ke ka ntlha yang fa lo sa lebe? Ke ka ntlha yang fa lo sa bule ditsebe tsa lona mme lwa reetsa’ A ga lo gakologelwe sepe gotlhelele?
Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? neither do you remember.
19 “Lwa reng ka batho ba ba dikete tse tlhano ba ke neng ka ba fepha ka dinkgwe tse tlhano? Go ne go na le diroto di le kae tse di neng di tletse masalela ba sena go ja?” Ba re, “Lesome le bobedi.”
When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 “Mme e rile fa ke abela batho ba le dikete di le nne dinkgwe di supa, go ne ga sala di le kae?” Ba re, “Go ne ga sala diroto tse di tletseng di supa.”
When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him, Seven.
21 “Mme a lo gopola gore ke a tshwenyega fa go sena senkgwe?”
And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?
22 Ya re ba fitlha mo Bethesaida, batho bangwe ba tlisa kwa go ene monna yo o foufetseng mme ba mo kopa gore a mo ame gore a fole.
And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would touch him.
23 Jesu a tshwara monna yo o foufetseng ka letsogo a mo gogela kwa ntle ga motse, a mo kgwela mathe mo matlhong a bo a mmaya diatla. Jesu a mmotsa a re, “A o bona sengwe jaanong?”
And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.
24 Mme monna a leba mo tikologong a re, “Ee, ke bona batho. Mme ga ke ba bone sentle; ba lebega e ka re ke dithito tsa ditlhare di a tsamaya?”
And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.
25 Hong Jesu a mmaya gape diatla mo matlhong mme ya re a leba, a boelwa ke pono ya gagwe gotlhelele, mme a bona sengwe le sengwe sentle, se se neng se le mo tikologong ya gagwe.
After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.
26 Jesu a mo romela kwa gae kwa go ba ntlo ya gagwe. A mo raya a re, “O seka wa ya mo motseng pele.”
And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.
27 Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba tswa mo Galalea ba tswela kwa ntle kwa metseng ya Kaesarea Filipo. Mme ya re ba ntse ba tsamaya a ba botsa a re, “Ana batho ba re ke mang? Ba reng ka ga me?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am?
28 Barutwa ba araba ba re, “Bangwe ba bone ba gopola gore o Johane wa Mokolobetsi, mme bangwe ba re o Elija kgotsa o mongwe wa baporofiti ba bogologolo o rudile.”
Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.
29 Hong a ba botsa a re, “Mme lona lo gopola gore ke mang?” Petere a araba a re, “O Mesia.”
Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.
30 Hong Jesu a ba laya gore ba se bolelele ope!
And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him.
31 A simolola go ba bolelela ka matshwenyego a a boitshegang a o tlaa a bogang le gore o tlaa ganwa ke baeteledipele le bagolwane ba baperesiti le bangwe baeteledipele ba Sejuta, le gore o tlaa bolawa, mme morago ga malatsi a le mararo o tlaa tsoga gape.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed: and after three days rise again.
32 Mme o ne a bua le bone ka tlhamalalo, hong Petere a mo tseela kwa thoko a ya go mo kgalemela a re, “O seka wa bua dilo tse di ntseng jalo.”
And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.
33 Hong Jesu a retologa a leba barutwa ba gagwe a gakalela Petere a re, “Satane, tloga fa morago ga me! O leba dilo tse ka tebo ya senama fela, e seng kafa ntlheng ya bo-Modimo.”
Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.
34 Hong a bitsa barutwa ba gagwe le bontsi jwa batho go tla go mo reetsa, a ba raya a re, “Fa mongwe wa lona a rata go nna molatedi wa me, o tshwanetse go beela mahumo a gagwe fa thoko a itshikarele mokgoro, mme a ntshale morago.
And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Fa lo tsweletse go boloka botshelo jwa lona, bo tlaa lo latlhegela. Fela ba ba latlhegelwang ke matshelo a bone ka ntlha ya me le ka ntlha ya Mafoko a a Molemo, ba tlaa itse gore tota botshelo bo rayang.
For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
36 “Mme motho o boelwa ke eng fa a fenya lefatshe lotlhe mme a lathegelwa ke botshelo jwa gagwe?
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
37 Gonne a go na le sengwe sa botlhokwa go gaisa mowa wa gagwe?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Le, fa e le mang yo o ntlhabelwang ke ditlhong le molaetsa wa me mo malatsing ano a go tlhoka go dumela le a boleo, Nna Mesia, ke tlaa mo tlhabelwa ke ditlhong fa ke boa ke le mo kgalalelong ya ga Rre, le baengele ba ba boitshepo.”
For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
