Mathaio 12
1 Mme erile ka lobaka loo, ka letsatsi le-ngwe Jesu a tsamaya a raletse masimo a mabele le barutwa ba gagwe. Go ne go le letsatsi la Sabata, letsatsi la Sejuta la kobamelo-Modimo, barutwa ba gagwe ba ne ba tshwerwe ke tlala, jalo ba simolola go roba diako tsa mabele ba a ja.
At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain-fields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of grain, and to eat.
2 Mme Bafarasai bangwe ba ba bona ba dira jalo mme ba go tlhabantsha ba re, “Barutwa ba gago ba tlola molao. Ba roba go le Sabata.”
But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to him, Lo! thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
3 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “A ga lo ise nke lo bo lo bale se Kgosi Dafide o neng a se dira fa a bolailwe ke tlala le ditsala tsa gagwe?
But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry?
4 O na a tsena mo Tempeleng mme ba a ja senkgwe se se faphegileng se se letleletsweng baperesiti fela. Moo le gone e ne e le go tlola molao!
how he went into the house of God, and they ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but for the priests alone?
5 Gape a ga lo ise nke lo bo lo bale mo molaong wa ga Moshe ka fa baperesiti ba ba mo tirong mo Tempeleng, ba ka dirang ka teng go le Sabata?
Or have ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 Mme ammaaruri, mongwe o fano yo o mogolo go Tempele!
But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
7 Mme fa lo ka bo lo itsile tlhaloso ya temana ya lokwalo lo lo reng, ‘Ke batla gore lo nne kutlwelobotlhoko go feta jaaka ke batla dimpho tsa lona,’ lo ka bo lo sa sekisa ba ba senang molato.
But if ye had known what this meaneth, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Gonne Morwa Motho, ke Morena le wa Sabata tota.”
For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
9 Mme ka nako eo a ya kwa ntlung ya thuto,
And departing thence, he went into their synagogue.
10 Mme teng koo a bona monna yo o golafetseng seatla. Bafarasai ba botsa Jesu ba re, “A go letleletswe go fodisa ka letsatsi la Sabata?” (Tota ba ne ba solofetse gore o tlaa re, “Ee”, gore ba tle ba mo tshware).
And, lo! there was a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.
11 Hong Jesu a fetola a re; “Fa o ne o na le nku e le yosi fela, ya be e wela mo sedibeng go le Sabata, a o no o ka dira gore o e falotshe ka letsatsi leo? Ee tota o no o ka dira jalo.
And he said to them, Who of you that owneth one sheep, if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it, and lift it out?
12 Mme motho o tlhwatlhwa-kgolo thata jang go feta nku! Ee go siame go dira tshiamo ka Sabata!”
Of how much more worth now is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.
13 Mme a raya monna yoo a re, “Otlolola lebogo la gago.” Mme ya re a le otlolola, seatla sa gagwe sa itekanela, fela jaaka se sengwe!
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored sound as the other.
14 Mme, Bafarasai ba bitsa phuthego go loga maano a ka fa ba ka tshwarang le go bolaya Jesu ka teng.
Then the Pharisees went out, and consulted together against him, how they might destroy him.
15 Mme a itse leano le ba neng ba le loga, mme a tswa mo ntlung ya thuto a setswe morago ke bontsi. A fodisa botlhe ba ba lwalang mo go bone,
But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew from thence; and many followed him; and he healed them all,
16 mme a ba tlhagisa gore ba seka ba anamisa mafoko kaga dikgakgamatso tsa gagwe.
and strictly charged them not to make him known;
17 Se se diragaditse seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se buang ka ga Jesu se re.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Bonang motlhanka wa me. Bonang yo ke mo itshenketseng. Ke moratwi wa me, yo mowa wa me o itumelang mo go ene, ke tlaa tsenya mowa wa me mo go ene o tlaa atlhola dichaba.
“Behold my servant, whom I chose; my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare judgment to the nations.
19 Ga a lwe e bile ga a goe; ga a tlhatlose lentswe la gagwe!
He will not strive, nor cry aloud, nor will any one hear his voice in the streets.
20 Ga a repitletse ba ba bokoa, kgotsa go timola tsholofelo e potlana; o tlaa wetsa ntwa ya gagwe yotlhe ka phenyo,
A bruised reed he will not break, and smoking flax he will not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
21 mme leina la gagwe le tlaa nna tsholofelo ya lefatshe lotlhe.”
And in his name will nations hope.”
22 Mme ga leriwe kwa go Jesu monna yo o tsenyweng ke badimo, a le sefofu a bile a le semumu, mme Jesu a mo fodisa gore a bue a ba a bone.
Then was brought to him one possessed by a demon, blind and dumb; and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw.
23 Bontsintsi jwa batho ba gakgamala ba re, “Kgotsa Jesu ke Mesia.”
And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this the son of David?
24 Mme e rile fa Bafarasai ba utlwa kaga kgakgamatso e ba re, “O ka kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe ntle ka gore ke Satane, kgosi ya mewa e e maswe.”
But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This man doth not cast out the demons, except through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.
25 Jesu a itse megopolo ya bone mme a fetola a re, “Bogosi jo bo kgaoganyeng bo felela ka go pheretlhana. Motse kgotsa lolwapa lo lo ikgaoganyang ga lo ka ke lwa ema.
And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
26 Mme fa Satane a kgoromeletsa Satane ntle, o a itwantsha o bile o senya bogosi jwa gagwe.
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
27 Mme fa e le gore lwa re, ke goromeletsa mewa e e maswe ntle, ka go dirisa dinonofo tsa ga Satane, jaanong batho ba lona ba dirisa nonofo efe go e kgoromeletsa ntle? A ba arabele ka fa lo mpegang molato ka teng.
And if I cast out the demons through Beelzebul, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be judges of you.
28 Mme fa ke kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe ntle ka Mowa wa Modimo, hong bogosi jwa Modimo bo tsile mo go lona.
But if I cast out the demons through the Spirit of God, then hath the kingdom of God already come to you.
29 Motho ga a ka ke a thopa bogosi jwa ga Satane kwa ntleng ga gore a golege Satane pele. Ke gone fela mewa ya gagwe e e maswe e ka kgoromelediwang ntle a sena go golegwa.
Or how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize upon his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then plunder his house?
30 Le fa e le mang yo o sa nthuseng o nkutlwisa botlhoko.
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 “Mme le fa e le mang yo o ntlhapatsang kgotsa a bua sebe sengwe fela, o tlaa itshwarelwa tsotlhe, fa e se se sengwe fela: go bua bosula kgatlhanong le Mowa o o Boitshepo ga go na go itshwarelwa mo lefatshing leno, le fa e le mo lefatshing le le tlang. (aiōn g165)
Therefore I say to you, All manner of sin and evil-speaking will be forgiven to men; but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
And whoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this world, or in the world to come. (aiōn g165)
33 “Setlhare se lemogwa ka loungo lwa sone. Setlhare se se tlhophilweng mo mofuteng o o faphegileng se ungwa loungo lo lo siameng; mefuta e e seng yone ga e ungwe loungo lo lo siameng.
Either say that the tree is good, and its fruit good; or say that the tree is bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers!
34 Losika lwa dinoga ke lona! Batho ba ba bosula jaaka lona ba ka bua se se molemo le tshiamo jang? Gonne pelo ya motho e laola puo ya gagwe.
How can ye, evil as ye are, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 Puo e e molemo ya motho e senola mahumo a a mo go ene. Motho yo o pelo e bosula o tletse botlhole le puo ya gagwe e a bo supa.
The good man, from his good treasure, bringeth out good things; and the evil man, from his evil treasure, bringeth out evil things.
36 Mme ke lo bolelela se, gore lo tlamega go arabela lefoko lengwe le lengwe le lo le buang la boithamako ka letsatsi la katlholo.
And I say to you, that for every idle word that men shall speak, they will give account in the day of judgment.
37 “Mafoko a lona a supa se se tlaa lo diragalelang ka nako eo: lo ka nna lwa siamisiwa kgotsa lwa sekisiwa ka one.”
For by thy words thou wilt be justified, and by thy words thou wilt be condemned.
38 Letsatsi lengwe baeteledipele ba Sejuta le Bafarasai bangwe, ba tla kwa go Jesu ba mo kopa go bona kgakgamatso go supa gore a ke ene Mesia tota.
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we wish to see a sign from thee.
39 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Sechaba se se bosula se se senang tumelo ke sone fela se ne se ka kopa bosupi bongwe gape; mme bope ga bo kitla bo dirwa fa e se fela se se neng sa diragalela moporofiti Jona! Gonne fela jaaka Jona a ne a le mo mpeng ya leruarua malatsi a le mararo le masigo a le mararo, jalo he, nna Morwa Motho, ke tlaa nna mo mpeng ya lefatshe malatsi a le mararo le masigo a le mararo.
But he answered and said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation is seeking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 Banna ba Ninefe ba tlaa ema kgatlhanong le chaba e kwa tshekong ba lo bona molato. Gonne e rile fa Jona a ba rerela ba ne ba sokologa mo ditseleng tsa bone tsotlhe tse di bosula ba boela mo Modimong. Mme jaanong yo mogolo go feta Jona o fano mme lo gana go mo dumela.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, lo! something more than Jonah is here.
42 “Kgosigadi ya Sheba e tlaa emelana le chaba e, e e bona molato; gonne o dule kwa lefatshing le le kgakala go tla go utlwa botlhale jwa ga Solomone, mme jaanong yo mogolo go feta Solomone o fano; mme lo gana go mo dumela.
The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something more than Solomon is here.
43 “Chaba e e bosula e, e tshwana le motho a tsenywe ke mowa o o maswe. Gonne fa mowa o o maswe o tswa mo go ene, o ya mo dikakeng ka lobakanyana, o senka boikhutso mme o seke o bo bone. Mme o re, ‘Ke tlaa boela kwa mothong yo ke neng ke tswa mo go ene’ o boe o fitlhele pelo ya motho yoo e le phepa e bile e sena sepe mo teng! Mme mowa o o maswe o bone mewa e mengwe e supa e e bosula go o gaisa, mme yotlhe e tsene motho yoo e nne mo go ene. Mme a bife go gaisa pele.”
But when the unclean spirit is gone out from a man, it goeth through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
Then it saith, I will return to my house whence I came out. And on coming, it findeth it empty, and swept, and put in order.
Then it goeth and taketh with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter in, and dwell there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. So will it be also with this wicked generation.
46 Ka Jesu a na a bua mo ntlung e e tletseng batho, mmaagwe le bomonnawe ba ne, ba le kwa ntle kwa, ba batla go bua nae. Mme erile mongwe a mmolelela gore ba foo,
While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo! his mother and his brothers were standing without, seeking to speak with him.
And one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brothers are standing without, seeking to speak with thee.
48 a fetola a re, “Mme ke Mang? Bonnake ke bomang?”
But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?
49 A supa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Bonang! Mme le bonnake ke ba.”
And stretching forth his hand toward his disciples, be said, Behold, my mother and my brothers!
50 Mme a oketsa ka gore, “Le fa ele mang yo o reetsang Rre kwa Legodimong ke nnake, kgaitsadiake le mme.”
For whoever doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
