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 day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads 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, when they saw it, said to him, “Behold, your disciples do what 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, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
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 entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
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 you not read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
6 Mme ammaaruri, mongwe o fano yo o mogolo go Tempele!
But I tell you that one 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 you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn’t 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,
He departed from there and 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 behold, there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?” so 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.
He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if this one falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won’t he grab on to 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 value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.”
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 he told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out; and it was restored whole, just like the other.
14 Mme, Bafarasai ba bitsa phuthego go loga maano a ka fa ba ka tshwarang le go bolaya Jesu ka teng.
But the Pharisees went out and conspired 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,
Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,
16 mme a ba tlhagisa gore ba seka ba anamisa mafoko kaga dikgakgamatso tsa gagwe.
and commanded them that they should not 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 have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 Ga a lwe e bile ga a goe; ga a tlhatlose lentswe la gagwe!
He will not strive, nor shout, neither will anyone 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,
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.
21 mme leina la gagwe le tlaa nna tsholofelo ya lefatshe lotlhe.”
In his name, the nations will 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 one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him; and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 Bontsintsi jwa batho ba gakgamala ba re, “Kgotsa Jesu ke Mesia.”
All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be 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 when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons except by 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.
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 Mme fa Satane a kgoromeletsa Satane ntle, o a itwantsha o bile o senya bogosi jwa gagwe.
If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will 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.
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
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 by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come upon 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 the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? Then he will plunder his house.
30 Le fa e le mang yo o sa nthuseng o nkutlwisa botlhoko.
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who doesn’t gather with me, scatters.
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 tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in that which is 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 make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.
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.
You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
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 out of his good treasure brings out good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings 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.
I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it 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 your words you will be justified, and by your words you will 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 certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
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 them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but 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 huge 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 behold, someone greater 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 behold, someone greater 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.”
“When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.
Then he says, ‘I will return into my house from which I came;’ and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil 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, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
One said to him, “Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.”
48 a fetola a re, “Mme ke Mang? Bonnake ke bomang?”
But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
49 A supa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Bonang! Mme le bonnake ke ba.”
He stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and 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 does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
