Mathaio 14
1 Mme erile fa Kgosi Herode a utlwa kaga Jesu,
Ngalesosikhathi uHerodi umtetrarki wezwa indumela kaJesu,
2 A raya banna ba gagwe a re, “Yo e tshwanetse ya bo e le Johane wa Mokolobetsi a rudile. Ke gone ka mo a kgonang go dira dikgakgamatso.”
wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe: Lo nguJohane uMbhabhathizi; yena uvukile kwabafileyo, kungakho-ke imisebenzi yamandla isebenza kuye.
3 Gonne Herode o na a tshwere Johane a mo golegile ka dikeetane mo kgolegelong ka topo ya mosadi wa gagwe Herodiase mosadi yo o kileng a bo a le wa ga Filipo morwarraagwe,
Ngoba uHerodi wayembambile uJohane wambopha wamfaka entolongweni, ngenxa kaHerodiyasi umkaFiliphu umfowabo;
4 gonne Johane o ne a mo reile a re, ga go a siama gore a mo nyale.
ngoba uJohane wayethe kuye: Kawuvunyelwa ukuba laye.
5 O ka bo a ne a bolaya Johane mme o ne a boifa mokubukubu o batho ba ka o tsosang, ka gore batho botlhe ba ne ba dumela gore Johane ke moporofiti.
Njalo efuna ukumbulala, wesaba ixuku, ngoba lalimphatha njengomprofethi.
6 Mme ya re ka mokete wa botsalo jwa ga Herode, morwadia Herodiase a bina mo go neng ga kgatlha Herode thata,
Kodwa kwathi kugcinwa usuku lokuzalwa kukaHerodi, indodakazi kaHerodiyasi yagida phakathi kwabo, yamthokozisa uHerodi.
7 hong a mo solofetsa ka ikano gore o tlaa mo naya le fa e le eng se o tlaa se lopang.
Ngakho wathembisa ngesifungo ukuyinika loba yini ezayicela.
8 Jalo he, ka go tlhotlhelediwa ke mmaagwe, ngwanyana a kopa tlhogo ya ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi e le mo mogotswaneng.
Kodwa yona, isilayiwe ngunina, yathi: Ngiphe lapha emganwini ikhanda likaJohane uMbhabhathizi.
9 Kgosi e ne ya utlwa botlhoko, mme ka ntlha ya ikano ya yone, gape ka gore e ne e sa batle go boela lefoko la yone ka morago fa pele ga balalediwa, ya ntsha taolo ya gore go dirwe jalo.
Inkosi yasisiba losizi, kodwa ngenxa yezifungo langalabo ababehlezi layo ekudleni yalaya ukuthi inikwe.
10 Jalo, Johane a kgaolwa tlhogo a le mo kgolegelong,
Yasithuma yamquma uJohane ikhanda entolongweni.
11 tlhogo ya gagwe ya leriwe ka mogotswana, ya neelwa morweetsana yo o neng a e isa kwa go mmaagwe.
Ikhanda lakhe laselilethwa ngomganu, lanikwa intombi; njalo yona yalisa kunina.
12 Hong barutwa ba ga Johane ba tla go tsaya setopo sa gagwe go ya go se boloka mme ba ya go bolelela Jesu se se diragetseng.
Kwasekusiza abafundi bakhe bathatha isidumbu, basingcwaba; basebesuka bambikela uJesu.
13 Mme erile fela fa Jesu a utlwa mafoko a, a tsamaya ka boene ka mokoro go ya kwa thoko go nna a le nosi. Mme bontsintsi jwa bona kwa o neng a ya teng, mme ba mo sala morago ka dinao ba tswa mo magaeng a mantsi.
UJesu esezwile wasuka lapho ngomkhumbi waya endaweni eyinkangala eyedwa; kodwa amaxuku ekuzwa amlandela ngenyawo evela emizini.
14 Hong ya re Jesu a tswa mo nageng, bontsintsi jo bogolo jwa batho jwa bo bo mo letile mme a ba tlhomogela pelo a ba a fodisa balwetse.
UJesu esephumile wabona ixuku elikhulu, waba lesihelo ngabo, wasilisa abagulayo babo.
15 Maitseboeng ao barutwa ba gagwe ba tla kwa go ene ba re, “Lobaka lwa dijo lo setse lo fetile, mme ga gona sepe se se ka jewang fano mo sekakeng; phatlalatsa bontsintsi jwa batho gore ba ye mo magaeng ba reke dijo!”
Kwathi sekuhlwile abafundi bakhe beza kuye, bathi: Lindawo iyinkangala, lesikhathi sesihambile; liyekele ixuku lihambe, ukuze baye emizaneni bazithengele ukudla.
16 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Mo ga go tlhokafale, ba feng dijo!”
Kodwa uJesu wathi kubo: Kakuswelekanga ukuthi bahambe; banikeni lina ukuthi badle.
17 Mme ba mo raya ba re, “Ga tweng! Re na le dinkgwe di le tlhano tse di nnye le ditlhapi di le pedi!”
Kodwa bathi kuye: Kasila lapha ngaphandle kwezinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili.
18 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Di lereng kwano.”
Wasesithi: Ziletheni lapha kimi.
19 Hong a raya batho a re ba nne fa fatshe mo bojannyeng mme a tsaya dinkgwe tse tlhano le ditlhapi tse pedi, a leba kwa godimo mo loaping a kopela dijo tshegofatso ya Modimo, hong a ngathoganya dinkgwe a di neela barutwa ba gagwe go di abela batho.
Waselaya amaxuku ukuthi ahlale phansi etshanini, wathatha izinkwa ezinhlanu lenhlanzi ezimbili, wakhangela phezulu ezulwini, wabusisa, esezihlephule wabanika abafundi izinkwa, labafundi bapha amaxuku.
20 Mme mongwe le mongwe a ja go fitlhelela a kgora! Mme erile ba sela masalela kwa morago, ga sala diroto di le lesome le bobedi tse di tletseng.
Basebesidla bonke, basutha; badobha imvuthu ezazisele, izitsha ezigcweleyo ezilitshumi lambili.
21 E ne e ka nna banna ba le dikete tse tlhano mo bontsintsing jwa batho tsatsing leo, kwa ntle ga basadi le bana.
Lalabo abasebedlile babengamadoda angaba zinkulungwane ezinhlanu, ngaphandle kwabesifazana labantwana.
22 Ka bofefo morago ga moo, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re ba tsene mo mokorong go kgabaganyetsa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha fa a sa ntse a phatlalaletsa batho kwa gae.
Njalo uJesu wahle wacindezela abafundi bakhe ukuthi bangene emkhunjini, njalo bamqalele ukuya ngaphetsheya, esayekela amaxuku ahambe.
23 Morago ga moo a tlhatloga dithaba go ya go rapela. Bosigo jwa tla, mme kwa lecheng barutwa ba ne ba le mo matshwenyegong. Gonne phefo e ne e tsogile ba tshwere bothata mo mawatleng a a sa sisibalang.
Kwathi eseyekele amaxuku ahamba, wenyukela entabeni eyedwa ukuze akhuleke; kwathi sekuhlwile, wayeyedwa lapho.
Kodwa umkhumbi wawusuphakathi kolwandle, utshukunyiswa ngamagagasi; ngoba umoya wawuphambene labo.
25 Erile e ka nna nako ya bone mo mosong, Jesu a tla kwa go bone a tsamaya mo godimo ga metse.
Kwathi ngesikhathi somlindo wesine wobusuku uJesu weza kubo, ehamba phezu kolwandle.
26 Ba gowa ka letshogo gonne ba ne ba gopola gore ke sepoko.
Kodwa kwathi abafundi bembona ehamba phezu kolwandle bethuka, bathi: Lithonga. Basebekhala ngokwesaba.
27 Mme Jesu ka bofefo a bua nabo a ba nametsa. A re, “Ke nna se boifeng!”
Kodwa uJesu wahle wakhuluma labo, wathi: Manini isibindi; yimi; lingesabi.
28 Hong Petoro a mo fetola a re, “Rra, fa o le ene tota, nthaya ke tle kwa go wena ke tsamaya mo godimo ga metse.”
UPetro wasemphendula wathi: Nkosi, uba kunguwe, ngilaya ukuthi ngize kuwe phezu kwamanzi.
29 Mme Morena a re, “Go siame, tla kwano.” Hong Petoro a fologa mokoro a tsamaya fa godimo ga metsi a ya kwa go Jesu.
Wasesithi: Woza. UPetro wasesehla emkhunjini wahamba phezu kwamanzi, ukuze aye kuJesu.
30 Mme erile fa a leba kwa godimo, a tshoga mme a simolola go nwela. A gowa a re, “Mpoloka Morena!”
Kodwa ebona umoya olamandla wesaba; wathi eseqala ukutshona wakhala, wathi: Nkosi, ngisindisa!
31 Gone fela foo Jesu a otlolola lebogo a mmoloka. Jesu a re, “A motho wa tumelo e potlana, ke eng fa o no o belaela.
Njalo uJesu wahle welula isandla, wambamba, wathi kuye: Wena olokukholwa okuncinyane, uthandabuzelani?
32 Mme fa ba sena go palama mo mokorong, phefo ya didimala?”
Sebengenile emkhunjini, umoya wathula.
33 Ba bangwe ba nna ba tseanye, ba goa ba re, “O Morwa Modimo tota!”
Abasemkhunjini basebesiza bamkhonza bathi: Ngeqiniso wena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
34 Mme ba fitlha kwa Genesareta.
Kwathi sebechaphile bafika elizweni leGenesaretha.
35 Dikgang tsa go goroga ga bone tsa anama ka bofefo mo tikologong yotlhe ya motse, mme ka bofefo batho botlhe ba tswa mo motseng ba ya go bolelela batho gore ba lere balwetse ba bone go tla go fodisiwa.
Esemazi amadoda akuleyondawo athumela ilizwi kuso sonke lesosigaba esizingelezeleyo, aletha kuye bonke abagulayo.
36 Balwetse ba mo kopa gore a ba letlelele go ama momeno wa seaparo sa gagwe, mme botlhe ba ba neng ba ama momeno wa seaparo sa gagwe ba fodisiwa.
Basebemncenga, ukuthi bathinte nje umphetho wesembatho sakhe; njalo bonke abathintayo basiliswa.
