Mathaio 13
1 Mme ya re morago ga lone letsatsi leo, Jesu a tswa mo tlung a fologela kwa lotshitshing lwa lewatle,
The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the shore of the lake;
2 kwa boidiidi jwa batho bo neng jwa tloga jwa kokoanela teng. O na a tsena mo mokorong mme a ruta a le mo go one fa batho ba reeditse ba le mo lotshitshing. O na a bolela dipolelo di le dintsi ka ditshwantsho jaaka e e reng, “Mojadi o ne a jala mabele mo masimong a gagwe.
and great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
4 Erile fa a ntse a gasa peo, e nngwe ya wela mo tseleng mme dinonyane tsa tla tsa e e ja.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.
5 “Mme e nngwe ya wela mo mmung o o maje, mo go neng go na le mmunyana o o motlhofo; dijalo tsa tlhoga ka bofefo sentle mo mmunyaneng oo,
And others fell upon rocky places, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.
6 mme letsatsi le le molelo la tloga la di fisa mme tsa swaba tsa a swa, ka gore di ne di na le medinyana fela.
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Dipeo tse dingwe tsa wela mo mitlweng, mme mitlwa ya di hupetsa di sena go tlhoga.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them.
8 Mme tse dingwe tsa wela mo mmung o o siameng, mme tsa ungwa ga masome a mararo, masome a marataro, le lekgolo go le go tona go feta jaaka a ne a jetse.
And others fell upon good ground; and yielded fruit, some a hundred fold, some Sixty, some thirty fold.
9 Fa lo na le ditsebe utlwang!”
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 Barutwa ba gagwe ba tla ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke eng fa o aga o dirisa ditshwantsho tse di thata go tlhaloganngwa?”
And the disciples came and said to him, Why dost thou speak to them in parables?
11 Hong a ba tlhalosetsa gore ke bone fela ba ba letleletsweng go tlhaloganya ka ga Bogosi jwa Legodimo, mme ba bangwe bone ga ba a letlelelwa.
He answered and said, Because to you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it hath not been given.
12 A ba a ba tlhalosetsa a re, “Ka gore yo o nang le sengwe o tlaa okelediwa, o tlaa nna le go le go tona; mme yo o senang sepe o tlaa tseelwa le bonnyenyane jo a nang najo. Ke sone se ke dirisang ditshwantsho tse ka sone, jalo he batho ba tlaa utlwa, ba bo ba bona, mme ga ba kitla ba tlhaloganya.”
For whoever hath, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor understand.
14 “Mo go diragatsa seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se reng, ‘Ba a utlwa, mme ga ba tlhaloganye; ba a leba mme ga ba bone.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, “Ye will hear indeed, and not understand; and ye will see indeed, and not perceive.
15 Gonne dipelo tsa bone di thata, ditsebe tsa bone di kabetse, mme ba ipuduladitse mo borokong.
For this people's heart hath become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them.”
16 Jalo ga ba kitla ba bona le go utlwa le go tlhaloganya le go boela kwa Modimong gape, le go ntetla go ba fodisa.’ Mme go sego matlho a lona gonne lo a bona; le ditsebe tsa lona gonne di a utlwa.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Baporofiti ba le bantsi le batho ba ba boifang Modimo ba tlhologeletswe go bona dilo tse lo di bonyeng, le go utlwa dilo tse lo di utlwileng, mme ga ba a ka ba di utlwa le fa e le go di bona.
Truly do I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear them.
18 “Jaanong tlhaloso ya polelo e ke e lo boleletseng kaga molemi a jala ke e:
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 tsela e e kwakwaletseng e peo e nngwe e neng ya wela mo go yone e raya pelo ya motho yo o utlwang mafoko a a molemo kaga Bogosi mme a ba a sa a tlhaloganye; mme Satane a ba a tla a phamola peo mo pelong ya gagwe.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the Evil One cometh, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart; this man is what was sown by the wayside.
20 Mmu o o maje o o motlhofo o raya pelo ya motho yo o utlwang molaetsa a ba a o amogela ka boitumelo,
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy,
21 mme a se na modi mo botshelong jwa gagwe, le peo ga e tlhogele kwa teng, mme e re moragonyana fa matshwenyego a tla, kgotsa pogiso e simologa ka ntlha ya tumelo ya gagwe, tlhoafalo ya gagwe e swe, a ba a we mo tumelong.
but, having no root within him, endureth only for a time; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth on account of the word, he immediately falleth away.
22 Mmu o o tlhogileng o o khurumeditsweng ke mitlwa o raya motho yo o utlwang molaetsa, mme ditlhobaelo tsa botshelo le keletso ya gagwe ya madi di hupetse Lefoko la Modimo, mme a direle Modimo ka boutsana. (aiōn g165)
And what was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Mmu o o siameng o raya pelo ya motho yo o reetsang molaetsa a ba a o tlhaloganya a tswela kwa ntle a ya go lere ba bangwe ba le masome mararo, masome marataro kgotsa lekgolo mo Bogosing.”
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and yieldeth, one a hundred fold, another sixty, another thirty fold.
24 Setshwantsho se sengwe ke se, se Jesu o neng a se dirisa: “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le molemi a jala peo e e siameng mo tshimong ya gagwe.
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Mme ya re bosigo bongwe a robetse, mmaba wa gagwe a tla a jala mhero mo gare ga mabele.
But while men slept, his enemy came, and sowed tares among the wheat; and went away.
26 Erile dijalo di simolola go tlhoga, mhero le one wa tlhoga.
But when the blade grew up, and put forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 “Batlhanka ba mong wa tshimo ba tla ba mmolelela ba re,
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it tares?
28 “Mmaba ke ene a dirileng jalo, mme ba mo raya ba re, ‘A re ka kumula mhero?’
He said to them, An enemy did this. The servants say to him, Dost thou wish then that we go and gather them up?
29 “Mme a fetola a re, ‘Nyaa lo tlaa utlwisa mabele botlhoko fa lo dira jalo.
But he said, Nay; lest, while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.
30 Lesang gotlhe go gole mmogo go fitlhelela motlha wa thobo, mme ke tlaa raya barobi ba kokoanya mhero ba o tshuba, ba baya mabele mo ntlung ya polokelo’.”
Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles, to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Sengwe sa ditshwantsho tsa gagwe ke se: “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le peo e nnyennyane ya mosetara e e lemilweng mo tshimong. Ke peo e potlana mo dipeung tsotlhe, mme e nna setlhare se se tona mo ditlhareng tsotlhe, se be se gole go nna setlhare se dinonyane di ka tlang tsa aga mo go sone.”
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field.
Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.
33 Gape o dirisa sekai se: “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo ka tshwantshiwa le mosadi a dira senkgwe. O tsaya selekanyo sa bopi a se tlhakanye mo sebidisong go fitlhelela se tlhakatlhakana le bopi.”
Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 Jesu o na a dirisa ditshwantsho tse gangwe le gape ka tlhaloso fa a bua le bontsintsi jwa batho. Tota le gone ka gore baporofiti ba ne ba boletse gore o tlaa dirisa di le dintsi, o na a seke a bua le bone kwa ntleng ga go dirisa setshwantsho. Gonne go no ga porofitwa gatwe, “Ke tlaa bua ka ditshwanatsho, ke tlaa tlhalosa dikgakgamatso tse di saleng di lojwa go tswa kwa tshimologong.”
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he spoke nothing to them;
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation [[of the world]].”
36 Mme erile a tlogela matshwititshwiti kwa ntle a tsena mo tlung. Barutwa ba gagwe ba mo kopa gore a ba tlhalosetse polelo ya mhero le mabele.
Then he sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 A re, “Go siame”. Ke nna molemi yo o jalang peo e siameng.
He answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man.
38 “Tshimo e emetse lefatshe ka bophara, mme peo e emetse batho ba Bogosi jwa Legodimo mme mhero ke batho ba ga Satane.
The field is the world; the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the Evil One;
39 Mmaba yo o jalang mhero mo mabeleng ke Diabole; thobo ke bokhutlo jwa lefatshe mme barobi ke baengele. (aiōn g165)
the enemy that sowed them is the Devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 “Fela jaaka ere mo polelong e, mhero o bo o tlosiwa mo mabeleng o ba o tshujwa, go tlaa nna fela jalo ka bokhutlo jwa lefatshe. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
41 Ke tlaa romela baengele bame mme ba tlaa tlosa mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo, thaelo nngwe le nngwe le botlhe ba ba boleo,
The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those who do iniquity,
42 mme ba ba latlhele mo moubeng ba ba tshube. Go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Jalo ba ba itshepileng ba tlaa phatsima jaaka letsatsi mo Bogosing jwa ga Rraabo. A ba ba nang le tsebe ba utlwe!
Then will the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
44 “Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le letlotlo le monna mongwe a neng a le bona mo tshimong. Monna yo, erile ka go tsenekega, a rekisa ditsagagwe tsotlhe gore a tle a reke tshimo a bo a rue letlotlo leo.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy thereof he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Gape, Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le morekisi wa mekgabisa (diperela) mme a tsoma tsa marata-go-lejwa.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls.
46 O ne a bona ya botlhokwa, e e tlhotlhwa kgolo—mme a rekisa gotlhe mo a neng a na nago gore a tle a e reke.
And having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 “Gape, Bogosi jwa legodimo bo ka tshwantshanngwa le motshwara-ditlhapi, yo o latlhelang letloa la gagwe mo metsing a ba a tshwara methalethale ya ditlhapi, dingwe di le tlhotlhwa kgolo tse dingwe di sena tiro. Fa letloa le tletse, o le gogela fa lotshitshing, a nna fatshe a tlhopha tse di ka nnang monate a bo a di paka mo matloleng mme tse dingwe a di latlhela koo.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, cast into the sea, and bringing together fish of every kind;
which, when it was full, they drew upon the beach, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.
49 Go tlaa nna fela jalo ka bokhutlo jwa lefatshebaengele ba tlaa tla go tlhopha baikepi mo baitsheping, (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 ba latlhela ba ba bosula mo moleting. Go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 A lo a utlwisisa?” Mme ba araba ba re, “Ee re a utlwisisa!”
Did ye understand all these things? They say to him, Yea.
52 Mme o ne a tswelela a re, “Baitseanape ba molao wa Sejuta ba jaanong e leng barutwa ba me ba humile ntlheng tsotlhe-ebong mo kitsong ya Testamente E Kgologolo le mo go ya e Ntsha.”
And he said to them, Thus then every scribe, instructed for the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder, who bringeth out from his storehouse things new and old.
53 Erile Jesu a sena go bolela dipolelo tse, a boela kwa ga gabo kwa Nasaretha mo Galalea mme a ruta mo ntlung ya thuto mo a gakgamaditseng batho ka botlhale jwa gagwe le dikgakgamatso.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these parables, that he departed thence.
And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and the miracles?
55 Batho ba ne ba ipotsa ba re, “A ke gone? Ke ngwana fela wa mmetli, le Marea mmaagwe re a mo itse le bomorwarraagwe bo Jakoba, Josefa, Simone le Jutase.
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Le bokgaitsadie, botlhe ba nna mono. O ka tuma jang mo go kanakana?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 Mme ba mo shakgalela. Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Moporofiti o tlotlwa gongwe le gongwe, fa ese kwa ga gabo a bile a nyadiwa ke ba ga gabo.”
And they took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Jalo o ne a dira dikgakgamatso di se kaenyana fela, ka ntata ya go tlhoka tumelo ga bone.
And he did not work many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
