Mathaio 21
1 Mme ya re Jesu le barutwa ba atamela Jerusalema, ba le gaufi le motse wa Bethefage mo Thoteng ya Lotlhware, Jesu a roma bangwe ba barutwa ba gagwe ba le bebedi mo motsaneng o o fa pele.
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 A ba raya a re, “E tlaa re fela fa lo tsena teng lo tlaa bona tonki e golegilwe le tonkana ya yone e le fa thoko ga yone. Lo bo lo di golola lo di lere kwano.
saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
3 Fa mongwe a lo botsa gore lo dirang, lo re, ‘Morena o a di batla’, mme ga go na go nna matshwenyego ape.”
And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 Se se ne se dirwa go diragatsa seporofeso sa bogologolo se se reng,
Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Bolelela Jesusalema gore Kgosi ya gagwe e tla kwa go ene, ka bonolo e palame tonkana.”
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 Barutwa ba babedi ba dira ka fa Jesu a neng a ba boleletse, ka teng,
And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,
7 ba lere tonki le tonkana kwa go ene, ba pega diaparo tsa bone mo godimo ga tonkana gore a nne mo godimo ga tsone.
and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
8 Mme ba bangwe mo bontsintsing jwa batho ba ala diaparo tsa bone mo tseleng kwa pele ga gagwe, ba bangwe ba kgetla dikala tsa ditlhare ba di ala fa pele ga gagwe.
And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
9 Hong bontsi jwa batho ba ba mo eteletseng pele le ba ba kwa morago ba goa ba re, “Modimo segofatsa Morwa Kgosi Dafide! Mo galaletse mo segofatse, Morena A go bakwe Modimo mogodimodimo!”
And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 Motse otlhe wa Jerusalema o ne wa huduega fa a tsena. Ba botsa ba re, ke mang yo?
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?
11 Mme bontsintsi jwa batho jwa fetola jwa re, “Jesu Moporofiti yo o tswang Nasaretha wa Galalea.”
And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Jesu a tsena mo Tempeleng, a lelekela barekisi kwa ntle, a pitikolola mabati a go ananyediwang madi mo go one le ditilo tsa ba ba rekisang maphoi.
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
13 A ba raya a re, “Dikwalo tsa re tempele ya me ke lefelo la thapelo, mme lona lo e fetotse borakanelo jwa magodu.”
and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.
14 Hong difofu le digole tsa tla kwa go ene mme a di fodisa teng mo tempeleng.
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 Mme ya re baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuda ba bona dikgakgamatso tse di ntle tse ba bile ba utlwa le bananyana ba goa mo tempeleng ba re, “Modimo segofatsa Morwa Dafide,” ba ne ba se ka ba itumela ba gakala ba mmotsa ba re, “A o utlwa se bana ba ba se buang?”
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,
16 Jesu a fetola a re, “Ee, a ga lo ise lo ke lo bale dikwalo? Gonne tsa re, ‘Le bananyana tota ba tlaa mo galaletsa!’”
and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Hong a boela kwa Bethania, kwa a letseng teng.
And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Mo mosong fa a boela Jerusalema, a tshwarwa ke tlala,
Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.
19 Yare a bona setlhare sa mofeige fa thoko ga tsela, a tsamaela kwa go sone go bona gore a se na le maungo, mme ga bo go le matlhare fela. Hong a se hutsa a re, “O se ka wa tlhola o ungwa gape!” Mme ka bofefo setlhare sa mofeige sa omelela. (aiōn g165)
And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Barutwa ba gakgamala thata ba bo ba mmotsa ba re, “Setlhare sa mofeige se omeletse ka bofefo jang?”
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?
21 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ammaaruri, fa lo na le tumelo lo sa belaele, lo ka dira dilo tse di ntseng jaana le go feta. Lo ka ba lwa raya thaba e ya Lotlhare lwa re, ‘Thabuela mo lewatleng,’ mme go ka diragala.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Lo ka amogela sengwe le sengwe, se lo se kopang ka thapelo fa lo dumela.”
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Mme e rile a sena go boela kwa Tempeleng a sa ntse a ruta, baperesiti ba bagolo le bangwe ba bagolwane ba Sejuda ba tla kwa go ene ba batla go itse gore e ne e le ka tetlelelo ya ga mang gore a lelekele baananyi kwa ntle maabane.
And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 Jesu a ba fetola a re “Ke tlaa lo bolelela fa lo ka araba potso e le nngwe pele.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 A Johane wa Mokolobetsi o ne a romilwe ke Modimo, kgotsa nnyaa?” Ba ne ba gakololana ka fa ba ka arabang ka teng potso e, ba re, “Fa re re, ‘o ne a romilwe ke Modimo’, hong o tlaa re botsa gore ke eng re ne re sa dumele se Johane o neng a se bua.
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 Mme fa re ganela gore Modimo o mo romile, re tlaa tlhaselwa ke bontsi jwa batho, gonne bontsi jotlhe bo dumela gore e ne e le moporofiti.”
But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Hong lwa bofelo ba fetola ba re, “Ga re itse!” Mme Jesu a re, “Jalo le nna ga ke na go araba potso ya lona ka tsela epe.”
And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Mme lo akanya jang ka ga se? Monna yo o neng a na le bomorwawe ba le babedi o na a raya yo motona a re, ‘Morwaaka, tsamaya o ye go dira mo tshimong ya me gompieno.’
But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard.
29 Morwawe a fetola a re, ‘Ga ke na go dira jalo,’ mme kwa morago a fetola maikutlo a gagwe a tsamaya.
And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.
30 Hong rraagwe a raya yo monnyennyane a re, ‘Wena tsamaya!’ Mme a re, ‘Ee, rra, ke tlaa tsamaya.’ Mme a seka a dira jalo.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
31 Ke ofe mo go ba babedi yo o neng a dira go rata ga ga rraagwe?” Ba fetola ba re, “Ke wa ntlha.” Hong Jesu a tlhalosa se a se rayang a re: “Ammaaruri batho ba ba bosula le basadi ba diaka ba tlaa lo raka mo Bogosing.
Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Gonne Johane wa Mokolobetsi o lo reile a re lo sokologe lo latlhe ditiro tsa lona tse di maswe lo boele mo Modimong, mme ga lo a dira jalo, fa batho ba ba bosula le diaka ba sokologa ba boela mo Modimong. Mme le fa tota lo ne lwa bona ba sokologa lona lo ne lwa gana go sokologa, ga lo aka lwa dumela.
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 “Jaanong reetsang polelo e: Mong wa setsha mongwe o kile a tlhoma tshimo ya mofine e e ageletsweng, mme a direla motlhokomedi wa yone lefelo la boletelo, hong a hirisetsa balemi bangwe tshimo ya gagwe ka tumalano ya go kgaogana thobo, mme a huduga go nna mo lefatsheng le lengwe.
Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
34 “E rile ka nako ya thobo ya maungo a mofine a roma baemedi ba gagwe kwa baleming go ya go tsaya seabe sa gagwe.
And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.
35 Mme balemi ba tlhasela batlhanka ba gagwe, ba itaya yo mongwe, ba bolaya yo mongwe, ba kgobotletsa yo mongwe ka matlapa.
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 “Hong a roma setlhopa se segolwane sa batlhanka ba gagwe go ya go mo tseela seabe, mme ba diragalelwa ke se se diragaletseng batlhanka ba ntlha.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner.
37 Lwa bofelo mong wa tshimo a roma morwawe a gopola gore ba tlaa mo tshoga seemo ba mo tlotle.
But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 “Mme e rile fa balemi ba bona morwawe a tla, ba buisanya ba re ‘Moja boswa ke yoo o e tla; tlaang, re mmolayeng re bo itseele!’
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.
39 Jalo ba mo swaswailela ka kwa ntle ga tshimo ya mafine ba mmolaya.
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Fa mong wa tshimo a boa, lo akanya gore o tlaa feta a dirang ka balemi bao?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 Baeteledipele ba Sejuda ba fetola ba re, “O tlaa bolaya batho bao ba ba bosula ka polao e e setlhogo, mme a hirisetse ba bangwe tshimo ya gagwe ba ba tlaa mo duelang ka fa tshwanelong.”
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Hong Jesu a ba botsa a re, “A ga lo ise lo ke lo bale mo dikwalong gore: ‘Lentswe le le gannweng ke baagi le dirilwe lentswe la kgokgotso le le tlotlegang. Ana go gontle jang! Morena o dirile selo se se gakgamatsang jang mo matlhong a rona?’
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 “Se ke se rayang ke gore Bogosi jwa Modimo bo tlaa tsewa mo go lona bo neelwe chaba e e tlaa neelang Modimo seabe sa one sa thobo ya maungo.
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 Botlhe ba ba kgotswang mo lefikeng le la boammaruri, ba tlaa robega, mme ba ba welang godimo ba tlaa phatlalala jaaka lorole.”
And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
45 E rile baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba bangwe ba Sejuda ba lemoga gore Jesu o ne a bua ka ga bone, gore e ne e le balemi mo polelong ya gagwe,
And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 ba ne ba batla go mmolaya, mme ba boifa go lekeletsa ka ntlha ya bontsintsi jwa batho, gonne bo ne bo kaya Jesu e le moporofiti.
And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
