Mathaio 13
1 Mme ya re morago ga lone letsatsi leo, Jesu a tswa mo tlung a fologela kwa lotshitshing lwa lewatle,
Now on the same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea-side:
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 many people were gathered together to bear Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down, and all the multitude stood upon the shore; and He spake to them many things in parables,
saying, "Behold a sower went out 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 was sowing, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate them up:
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,
some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and they soon sprung up indeed, 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 rose, they were burnt up, and withered; because they had no root:
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.
but others fell on good ground, and yielded fruit, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Fa lo na le ditsebe utlwang!”
He that hath ears to hear, 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 to Him and said, 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.
And He answered them, saying, Because it is granted unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not granted:
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 whosoever really hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundantly; but whosoever thus hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away from him:
for this reason I speak to them in parables; because though they see, they will not see; and though they hear, they will not hear, 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 shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,
15 Gonne dipelo tsa bone di thata, ditsebe tsa bone di kabetse, mme ba ipuduladitse mo borokong.
and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, 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.
for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard 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. When any one heareth the word of the gospel-kingdom,
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.
and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.
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 he who received the seed as upon stony grounds, is one 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.
yet hath he no root in himself, and therefore is but for a short season; and when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, he is as soon disgusted.
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 he that received the seed among the thorns, is one that likewise heareth the word; but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choketh the word, and so it 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.”
But he who received the seed into good ground, is one that heareth and understandeth the word, who indeed beareth fruit, and yieldeth, like fertile lands, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.
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 propounded He unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who sowed good grain in his ground:
25 Mme ya re bosigo bongwe a robetse, mmaba wa gagwe a tla a jala mhero mo gare ga mabele.
but while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
26 Erile dijalo di simolola go tlhoga, mhero le one wa tlhoga.
Now when the blade shot forth, and produced the corn, then the tares also appeared.
27 “Batlhanka ba mong wa tshimo ba tla ba mmolelela ba re,
So the servants came to their master, and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? whence then are the tares?
28 “Mmaba ke ene a dirileng jalo, mme ba mo raya ba re, ‘A re ka kumula mhero?’
And he said unto them, Some enemy hath done this. The servants therefore said unto him, Wilt thou 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, No: least in plucking up the tares ye root up the corn along 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 till harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather the weeds together, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but carry 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 delivered He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
Which is indeed one of the lest of all seeds: but when it is grown, is the greatest among herbs, and even becometh a tree; so that the birds of the air come and lodge in it's 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 spake He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like leaven, which a woman took and put into a large quantity of dough, 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 spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and at this time He spake nothing to them without a parable:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will publish things which have been concealed 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 Jesus leaving the multitude 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.
and He answered them, 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 are the children of my kingdom; and the tares are the children of the wicked 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 the 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 together, and burnt in the fire; so shall it be in 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 shall gather out of his kingdom all that commit offences, and those who do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire,
42 mme ba ba latlhele mo moubeng ba ba tshube. Go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno.
and there shall 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!
But the righteous shall then shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, 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.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field, which a man having found conceals, and being rejoiced at it goes and sells all that he has, and purchases 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 precious 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.
who, having found one of great value, 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, that was cast into the sea, and inclosed fishes of various sorts;
which, when it was full, they dragged to the shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, and threw out the bad.
49 Go tlaa nna fela jalo ka bokhutlo jwa lefatshebaengele ba tlaa tla go tlhopha baikepi mo baitsheping, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall 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 shall cast them into the fiery furnace, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 A lo a utlwisisa?” Mme ba araba ba re, “Ee re a utlwisisa!”
Then saith Jesus unto them, Did ye understand all these? they say unto Him, Yes, Lord: and He said unto them,
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.”
Therefore every teacher, who has been thus instructed in the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven, is like a master of a family, who brings forth out of his store 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 when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence:
and came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?
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 brethren James, and Joses, 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 here among us? from 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.”
So they were prejudiced against Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is no where less honoured than in his own country, and in his own family.
58 Jalo o ne a dira dikgakgamatso di se kaenyana fela, ka ntata ya go tlhoka tumelo ga bone.
And he did not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
