Mathaio 19
1 Mme e rile Jesu a sena go fetsa mafoko a, a tswa mo Galalea a boela kwa morago kwa Judea go kgabaganya Noka ya Jorodane.
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judæa beyond the Jordan;
2 Boidiidi jwa batho jwa mo sala morago, mme a fodisa malwetse a bone.
and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 Bafarasai bangwe ba tla go buisanya nae, gape ba leka go mmeela seru gore a bue sengwe se se tlaa mo senyang. Ba mmotsa ba re, “A o letlelela tlhalo?”
And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Jesu a ba fetola a re, “A ga lo bale dikwalo? Mo go tsone go kwadilwe gore mo tshimologong Modimo o tlhodile monna le mosadi,
And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made [them] from the beginning made them male and female,
5 gore monna o tlaa tlogela rraagwe le mmaagwe mme a ngaparele mosadi wa gagwe. Mme bobedi jo bo tlaa nna bongwe fela, e sa tlhole e le bobedi, mme ele bongwe fela! a go se nne ope yo o kgaoganyang se Modimo o se kopantseng”.
and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 Ba botsa ba re, “Jaanong Moshe o ne a raya jang fa a re monna o ka tlhala mosadi wa gagwe ka go mo kwalela lokwalo lwa tlhalo fela?”
They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away?
8 Jesu a fetola a re, “Moshe o dirile jalo ka ntlha ya go bona dipelo tsa lona tse di thata tse di bosula, mme tota e ne e se se Modimo o simolotseng o se ikaeletse.
He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.
9 Mme ke lo bolelela se, ka re, le fa e le mang yo o tlhalang mosadi wa gagwe, fa e se fela ka kgokafalo, a bo a nyala yo mongwe, o dira kgoka falo.”
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.
10 Barutwa ba ga Jesu ba mo raya ba re, “Fa e le gore go ntse jalo go botoka go sa nyaleng.”
The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.
11 Jesu a fetola a re, “Ga se mongwe le mongwe yo o ka amogelang mafoko a, fa e se fela ka thuso ya Modimo.
But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given.
12 Banna bangwe ba tsetswe e le baopa, ba bangwe ba opafaditswe ke batho, gore ba seka ba nyala, ba bangwe ba ikgapa mo nyalong ka ntlha ya Bogosi jwa Legodimo. A yo o kgonag, a amogele mafoko a me.”
For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Mme ga tlisiwa bana ba bannye kwa go Jesu gore a ba beye diatla a ba rapelele. Mme barutwa ba kgalemela ba ba neng ba tlisitse bana. Ba ba raya ba re, “Se mo tshwenyeng.”
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesu a re, “Lesang banyana ba tle kwa go nna, se ba kganeleng. Gonne bogosi jwa Legodimo ke jwa ba ba ntseng jalo.”
But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.
15 Foo a ba baya diatla a ba segofatsa pele ga a tsamaya.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 Mme mongwe a tla kwa go Jesu ka potso e e reng: “Morena yo o Molemo ke ka dira eng se se siameng go nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng?” (aiōnios g166)
And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesu a mo raya a re fa o re, “Ke molemo o raya Modimo. Mme go araba potso ya gago ka re, o ka tsena kwa legodimong fa o tshegetsa ditaolo.”
And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Mme monna a mmotsa a re, “Ditaolo dife?” Mme Jesu a fetola a re “O seka wa bolaya motho, o seka wa dira boaka, o seka wa utswa, o seka wa bua maaka,
He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 tlotla rrago le mmago, gape o rate mongwe ka wena jaaka o ithata!”
Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 Mme lekawana la fetola la re, “Ke sa le ke e tshegetsa yotlhe fela, ke tshwanetse go dirang gape?”
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet?
21 Jesu a mo raya a re, “Fa o batla go itekanela, ya o rekise sengwe le sengwe se o nang naso o neele bahumanegi madi, mme o tlaa nna le khumo kwa legodimong; mme o tle o ntshale morago.”
Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 Mme e rile fa lekau le utlwa jaana, la tsamaya le nyemile moko ka bohutsana, ka gore le ne le humile thata.
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions.
23 Hong a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Ruri go thata mo mohuming go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo.
And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Mme ke ipoeletsa gape ke re, go motlhofo mo kammeleng go tsena ka leroba la nnale go na le gore mohumi a tsene mo Bogosing jwa Modimo.”
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Polelo e ya gakgamatsa barutwa. Mme ba botsa ba re, “Mme fa go ntse jalo, ke mang yo o ka bolokwang mo lefatshing?”
And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Hong Jesu a ba leba ka kelotlhoko a re, “Ka fa senameng ga go na ope.”
And Jesus looking upon [them] said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Hong Petere a mo raya a re, “Re tlogetse sengwe le sengwe gore re go sale morago. Re tlaa boelwa ke eng ka go dira jalo?”
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?
28 Jesu a fetola a re, “E tlaa re nna, Morwa Motho, fa ke nna mo setilong se se galalelang sa Bogosi, lona barutwa ba me lo tlaa nna mo ditilong di le lesome le bobedi tsa puso go atlhola merafe e le lesome le bobedi ya Iseraele.
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Mme le fa e le mang yo a tlogelang motse wa gagwe, bomonnawe, bokgaitsadie, rraagwe, mmaagwe, mosadi wa gagwe, bana kgotsa dilwana go ntshala morago, o tlaa amogela galekgolo go menaganye, ebile o tlaa nna le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (aiōnios g166)
And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Mme ba le bantsi ba e leng ba ntlha jaanong e tlaa nna ba morago ka nako eo: le bangwe ba e leng ba bofelo jaanong e tlaa nna ba ntlha.”
But many shall be last [that are] first; and first [that are] last.
