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!”
He added, Indeed, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Reign of God ushered in with 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,
After six days, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, apart to the top of a high mountain, and was transfigured in their presence.
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.
His garments became glittering, and were like snow, of such whiteness as no fuller on the earth could imitate.
4 Hong Elija le Moshe ba bonala mme ba simolola go bua le Jesu!
There appeared to them also Elijah and Moses, who were conversing 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.
Then Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to stay here: let us make three booths, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;
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, they were so terrified.
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 came a cloud which covered them; and out of the cloud issued a voice, which said, This is my Son, the beloved: hear 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 instantly, looking about, they saw no person but Jesus and themselves.
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.
As they went down from the mountain, he charged them not to relate to any person what they had seen, till the Son of Man was risen 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 took notice of that expression, and inquired among themselves what the rising from the dead could mean.
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).
Then they asked him, saying, Why do the scribes affirm that Elijah 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.
He answered, Elijah, to consummate the whole, must come first; and, (as it is written of the Son of Man, ) must likewise suffer many things and be contemned.
But I tell you, that Elijah too is come, as was predicted, and they have treated him as they pleased.
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.
When he returned to the other disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and some 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.
As soon as the people saw him, they were all struck with awe, and ran to salute him.
16 Mme a ba botsa a re, “Lo ganetsanya kaga eng?”
And he asked the scribes, About what do you dispute with them?
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.
One of the people answering, said, Rabbi, I have brought you my son, who has 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.”
and wheresoever it seizes him, it dashes him on the ground, where he continues foaming, and grinding his teeth, till his strength is exhausted. And I spoke to your disciples to expel the demon, but they were not able.
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.”
Jesus then said, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him to 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.
Accordingly they brought him: and no sooner did he see him, than the spirit threw him into convulsions, so that he foamed, and rolled upon the ground.
21 Jesu a botsa rraagwe a re, “Go lobaka lo lo kae a ntse jaana?” Rraagwe a araba a re, “a le mmotlana,
Jesus asked the father, How long is it since this first befell him? He answered, 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 often it has thrown him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have compassion upon us and help us.
23 Jesu a botsa a re, “A wa re fa ke kgona? Sengwe le sengwe se a kgonega fa o na le tumelo.”
Jesus replied, If you can believe; all things are practicable for him who believes.
24 Ka bofefo rraagwe a araba a re, “Ke na le tumelo; Nthusa o e nkokeletse.”
The boy's father, crying out immediately, said with tears, I believe; Master, supply the defects of my faith.
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!”
When Jesus saw that the people came crowding upon him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, come out of him, I command you, and enter no 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.”
Then, having cried aloud and severely convulsed him, it came out, and he appeared as one dead, insomuch 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, raised him, and he stood up.
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?”
When Jesus was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we expel the demon?
29 Jesu a araba a re, “Mofuta o o ntseng jaana o kgonwa ke thapelo fela.”
He answered, This kind can not be dislodged unless 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.”
Having left that place, they pass through Galilee; and he was desirous that no person should know it,
for he was instructing his disciples. And he said to them, The Son of Man will soon be delivered into the hands of men, who will kill him; and after he is killed, he will 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 what he meant, and 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.”
When he was come to Capernaum, being in the house, he asked them, What were you debating amongst yourselves by 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 were silent; for they had debated amongst themselves by the way, who should be 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!”
Then having sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them, If any man would be first, he shall be the last of all, and the servant 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 he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and holding him in his arms, said 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 on my account, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who 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.”
Then John said to him, Rabbi, we saw one expelling demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.
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.
Jesus answered, Forbid him not; for there is none that works a miracle in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 Lefa e le mang yo o seng kgatlhanong le rona ke wa rona.
For whosoever 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 a cup of water to drink on my account, because you are Christ's; indeed, 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.
But whoever shall ensnare any of the little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were fastened to his neck, and that he were thrown 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)
Moreover, if your hand ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
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 your foot ensnare you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter lame into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire; (Geenna g1067)
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
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 your eye ensnare you, pull it out; it is better for you to enter one-eyed into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 kwa seboko se sa sweng, le kwa molelo o sa timeng,
where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.
49 kwa tsotlhe di lokwang ka molelo.
For every one shall be seasoned with fire; as every sacrifice is seasoned 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 become tasteless, with what will you season it? Preserve salt in yourselves, and maintain peace with one another.
