Mareko 9
1 Jesu a tswelela a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Bangwe ba lona ba ba emeng fa, gompieno ba tlaa tshela go bona Bogosi jwa Modimo bo tla ka nonofo e kgolo!”
And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
2 Malatsi a le marataro a sena go feta Jesu a tsaya Petere, Jakobe le Johane, a tlhatlhogela kwa godimo ga thaba. Go ne go sena ope teng. Ka bofefo sefatlhogo sa gagwe sa simolola go phatshima ka kgalalelo,
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was transfigured before them.
3 mme diaparo tsa gagwe tsa tsabakela, tsa nna ditshweu thata, di galalela thata go gaisa jaaka motho ope mo lefatshing a ka di sweufatsa.
And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller upon earth can make white.
4 Hong Elija le Moshe ba bonala mme ba simolola go bua le Jesu!
And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Mme Petere a bua a re, “Moruti, go go ntle jang!” Re tlaa aga metlaagana e le meraro fa, mongwe le mongwe wa lona a na le wa gagwe.
And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 O ne a bua se fela, gonne o ne a sa itse se a ka se buang ka botlhe ba ne ba tshogile.
For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear.
7 Mme erile fa a sa ntse a tsweletse ka go bua mafoko a, leru la ba khurumetsa, la sira letsatsi, mme lentswe la tswa mo lerung la re, “Yo ke morwaake. Reetsang ene.”
And there was a cloud overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved son; hear ye him.
8 Mme ka tshoganyetso fa ba leba kafa le kafa, Moshe le Elija ba bo ba seyo, mme ya bo e le Jesu fela yo o nang nabo.
And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.
9 Ya re ba fologa mo thabeng a ba raya are ba seka ba bolelela ope kaga se ba se boneng go fitlhelela a sena go tsoga mo baswing.
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead.
10 Mme ba ipolokela kgang e, ba nna ba bua ka ga yone, gore o kane a raya eng “Ka go tsoga mo baswing.”
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead.
11 Hong ba simolola go mmotsa kaga sengwe se baeteledipele ba tumelo ya Sejuta ba tlwaetseng go se bua, ba re Elija o tshwanetse go tla (pele ga Mesia a ka tla).
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
12 Mme Jesu a dumela gore Elija o tshwanetse go tla pele go baakanya tsela, le fa go ntse jalo go setse go diragetse, o setse a tsile! Le gore o kopane le matshwenyego a a boitshegang, fela jaaka Baporofiti ba ne ba boletse. Hong Jesu a ba botsa gore baporofiti ba ka ne ba ne ba raya eng fa ba re, Mesia o tlaa boga a ba a tsewa ka lonyatso.
Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.
But I say to you, that Elias also is come, (and they have done to him whatsoever they would, ) as it is written of him.
14 Mme ya re ba goroga kwa tlase ga thaba, ba fitlhela bontsi jo bogolo jwa batho bo dikaganyeditse barutwa ba bangwe ba ba ferang bongwe, fa bangwe ba baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ntse ba ganetsanya nabo.
And coming to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 Mme bontsi jwa batho ba leba Jesu ka poifo fa a atamela kwa go bone, hong ba tabogela kwa go ene go mo dumedisa.
And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
16 Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo ganetsanya kaga eng?”
And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
17 Monna mongwe mo bontsing joo a bua a re, “Moruti, ke lerile morwaake mo go wena gore o mo fodise--ga a kgone go bua ka ntlha ya gore o tswenwe ke mowa o o maswe.
And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
18 Mme fa mowa o o maswe o mo laola o mo digela fa fatshe o mo dira gore a phoke mafulo ka molomo a phuranye meno a kwatlalale. Mme ka kopa barutwa ba gago gore ba kgoromeletse ntle mowa o o maswe mme ba retelelwa.”
Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
19 Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Ao, a batho ba ba tumelo e potlana, ke tshwanetse go nna le lona lobaka lo lo kae mme lo sa dumele? Ke lobaka lo lo kae lo ke tshwanetseng go lo itshokela? Lereng mosimane kwa go nna.”
Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 Hong ba lere mosimane, mme erile fa a bona Jesu, mowa o o maswe wa mo kgothakgotha mo go botlhoko, mme a wela fa fatshe a bidikama a phoka mafulo ka molomo.
And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
21 Jesu a botsa rraagwe a re, “Go lobaka lo lo kae a ntse jaana?” Rraagwe a araba a re, “a le mmotlana,
And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
22 mme gantsi mowa o o maswe o dira gore a wele mo molelong kgotsa mo teng ga metsi go mmolaya. Ao, re utlwele botlhoko, o dire sengwe fa go kgonega.”
And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
23 Jesu a botsa a re, “A wa re fa ke kgona? Sengwe le sengwe se a kgonega fa o na le tumelo.”
And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Ka bofefo rraagwe a araba a re, “Ke na le tumelo; Nthusa o e nkokeletse.”
And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
25 Erile fa Jesu a bona gore bontsi jwa batho bo a gola, a kgalemela mowa o o maswe. A raya mowa o o maswe o o semumu le bosusu, a re, “Ke a go laola gore o tswe mo ngwaneng yo, o seka wa tlhola o tsena mo go ene gape!”
And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
26 Hong mowa o o maswe wa goa mo go boitshegang wa kgothakgotha mosimanyana gape mme wa mo tlogela; a robala a sa tshikinyege a bonala jaaka moswi. Modumonyana wa utlwala mo bathung o re, “O sule.”
And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
27 Jesu a mo tshwara ka seatla a mo thusa gore a eme ka maoto, mme a ema a itekanetse!
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
28 Ya re morago ga moo Jesu a le esi mo tlung le barutwa ba gagwe, ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke ka ntlha yang fa re ne re sa kgone go kgoromeletsa ntle mowa o o maswe?”
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
29 Jesu a araba a re, “Mofuta o o ntseng jaana o kgonwa ke thapelo fela.”
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30 Ya re ba tloga mo kgaolong eo ba tsamaya ba ralala Galalea mo a neng a leka go tila batho gore a tle a nne le nako ya go nna le barutwa ba gagwe, go ba ruta. O ne a ba raya a re, “Nna, Mesia ke tla okiwa, ke bolawe mme morago ga malatsi a le mararo ke tlaa rula.”
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
32 Lefa go ntse jalo, ba bo ba sa tlhaloganye, mme ba tshaba go mmotsa gore o rayang.
But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 Mme ba goroga kwa Kaperanama. Ya re ba sena go nna fa fatshe mo tlung e ba neng ba tshwanetse go nna mo go yone a ba botsa a re, “Lo ne lo bua ka ga eng mo tseleng.”
And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
34 Mme ba tlhajwa ke ditlhong go araba, gonne ba ne ba ganetsanya ka gore e mang mo go bone yo mogolo!
But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
35 A nna fa fatshe a ba bitsa a ba raya a re, “Mongwe yo o batlang go nna yo mogolo o tshwanetse go nna wa bofelo, motlhanka wa botlhe!”
And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
36 Hong a baya ngwana mo gare ga bone; mme e rile a tsaya ngwana ka mabogo a gagwe a ba raya a re,
And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
37 “Le fa e le mang yo o amogelang ngwana yo monnye jaana mo leineng la me o amogela nna, mme le fa e le mang yo o mo amogelang o amogela Rre yo o nthomileng!”
Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38 Mme mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, ebong Johane, ya re ka letsatsi lengwe a mo raya a re, “Moruti, re bone monna mongwe a dirisa leina la gago go kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe kwa ntle; mme ra mo raya ra re a se ka a dira jalo, gonne ga se mongwe wa setlhopha sa rona.”
John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
39 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Se mo itseng! gonne ga go ope yo o dirang dikgakgamatso ka leina la me yo o tla reng ka bofefo a nne kgatlhanong le nna.
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
40 Lefa e le mang yo o seng kgatlhanong le rona ke wa rona.
For he that is not against you, is for you.
41 Fa mongwe a ka lo siela metse ka ntlha ya gore lo ba ga Keresete ka re ammaaruri ga a kitla a latlhegelwa ke tuelo ya gagwe.
For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 Mme fa mongwe a ka dira gore mongwe wa ba ba botlana ba yo o dumelang mo go nna a latlhegelwe ke tumelo--go ka nna botoka fa motho yoo a ka hunelelwa lolwala lo lo golo mo thamong a ya go thabuediwa mo lewatleng.
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 “Fa seatla sa gago se leofa, se kgaole. Go botoka go tshelela ruri ka seatla se le sengwe go na le go latlhelwa mo molelong wa molete o o sa timeng ka diatla tse pedi! (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
45 Fa lonao lwa gago lo go isa bosuleng lo kgaole! Go botoka go nna setlhotsa lobaka lo loleele, go na le go nna le dinao tse pedi tse di go isang moleting. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire: (Geenna g1067)
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 “Mme fa leitlho la gago le go leofisa, le gonye. Go botoka go tsena mo Bogosingjwa Modimo o le mogapa, go na le go tsena ka matlho a mabedi mo moleting wa molelo, (Geenna g1067)
And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire: (Geenna g1067)
48 kwa seboko se sa sweng, le kwa molelo o sa timeng,
Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 kwa tsotlhe di lokwang ka molelo.
For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
50 “Letswai le le molemo, ga le na thuso fa le latlhegelwa ke molodi, ga le ka ke la loka sepe. Se latlhegelweng ke molodi wa lona! Nnang kagiso mo go ba bangwe.”
Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
