Mathaio 22
1 Jesu a bolela dipolelo tse dingwe tse dintsi go supa gore Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le eng. Sekai, bo ka tshwantshiwa ka polelo ya Kgosi e e kileng ya baakanyetsa morwaa yone mokete o mogolo wa lenyalo.
AND Jeshu answered again by comparisons, and said,
The kingdom of heaven resembles a royal person who made a feast to his son;
3 Baeng ba le bantsi ba lalediwa, mme e rile fa dijo di setse di siame a roma batho go itsise mongwe le mongwe gore ke nako ya gore ba tle. Mme batho ba ba laleditsweng ba gana!
and he sent his servants to call the invited ones to the feast, but they were not willing to come.
4 Jalo a roma batlhanka ba bangwe go ba bolelela gore, “Sengwe le sengwe se siame le dinama tse di besiwang di setse di le mo isong. Itlhaganeleng!”
And again he sent other servants, and said, Tell the invited ones, Behold, my dinner is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
5 Mme baeng ba a neng a ba laleditse ba tshega fela ba tswelela pele le ditiro tsa bone, mongwe kwa morakeng wa gagwe yo mongwe kwa madirelong a gagwe;
But they despised (it), and went, one to his domain, and another to his business.
6 ba bangwe ba itaya batlhanka ba gagwe ba ba tshwara setlhogo mo go tlhabisang ditlhong, ba bo ba bolaya bangwe ba bone.
But the rest took his servants and shamefully treated and killed (them).
7 Hong Kgosi e e galefileng ya bolotsa ntwa ya yone ya bolaya babolai ya tshuba motse wa bone.
But when the king heard, he was wroth; and sent his forces and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Mme ya raya batlhanka ba yone ya re, “Modiro wa lenyalo o siame, mme baeng ba ke ba laleditseng ga ba a tshwanelwa ke tlotlo.
Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, and those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Jaanong tsamayang mo mebileng ya motse lo laletse mongwe le mongwe yo lo mmonang.”
Go therefore into the outlets of the highways, and every one whom you find call to the feast.
10 Mme batlhanka ba dira fela jalo, ba lere batho botlhe, basiami le baleofi ka go tshwana; mme ntlo ya tlala balalediwa.
And those servants went forth into the highways, and assembled all whom they found, the bad and the good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests,
11 Mme e rile fa Kgosi e tla go rakana le balalediwa, ya bona monna yo a neng a sa apara seaparo sa lenyalo (se a neng a se neetswe).
And the king entered to see the guests, and he saw there a man who was not dressed in the garments of a festival.
12 Kgosi ya botsa ya re, “Tsala, go diragetse jang gore o bo o le fano o sena seaparo sa lenyalo?” Mme monna a tlhoka karabo.
And he said to him, My friend, how didst thou enter here, when thou hast not the vestments of the feast? But he was silent.
13 Hong Kgosi ya raya bathusi ba yone ya re, “Mo golegeng mabogo le maoto lo mo latlhele kwa ntle mo lefifing kwa go nang le selelo le khuranyo ya meno gone.”
Then said the king unto the servitors, Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him forth into the darknesses without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Gonne ba le bantsi ba biditswe, mme ba se kae ba itshenketswe!
For many are the called, but few the chosen.
15 Bafarasai ba kopana go leka go akanya tsela e ba ka mo tshwarang mo puong ka yone.
THEN went the Pharishee and took counsel how they might ensnare him in discourse.
16 Ba ikaelela go roma bangwe ba banna ba bone le Baheroda go mmotsa potso e: “Rra, re itse gore o ikanyega thata le gore o ruta boammaaruri kwa ntleng ga go tlhokomela tse di ka go diragalelang, e bile o sa boife bomang-mang jwa ga ope.
And they sent to him their disciples with (certain) of the household of Herodes, saying to him, Doctor, we know that thou art resolutely true, and (that) the way of Aloha in truth thou teachest; neither carriest thou fear for man, for thou acceptest not the person of men.
17 Jaanong re bolelele, a go siame go ntshetsa mmuso wa Roma lekgetho kgotsa nnyaa?”
Tell us then, how doth it appear to thee? is it lawful to give head-money unto Cesar or not?
18 Mme Jesu a bona se ba neng ba se ikaeletse. A re, “Baitimokanyi ke lona! Lo leka go tsietsa mang ka dipotso tsa lona tsa bolotsana?
But Jeshu knew their malice, and said, Why do you tempt me, you hypocrites?
19 Ntshupegetsang ledi,” Mme ba le mo naya.
Show me the denarius of the head-silver. And they presented to him a denarius.
20 A ba botsa a re, “Le tshwantshitswe mang? Gape leina le le ka fa tlase ga setshwantsho se ke la ga mang”?
And Jeshu said to them, Whose are this image and inscription?
21 Ba mo fetola ba re, “la ga Kaisara.” Mme a ba raya a re, “Go siame le neyeng Kaisara fa e le la gagwe, mme lo neele Modimo sengwe le sengwe se e leng sa one.”
They say, Cesar's. He saith to them, Give then (the things) of Cesar unto Cesar, and (the things) of Aloha unto Aloha.
22 Mme phetolo ya gagwe e ne ya ba gakgamatsa ya ba ya ba palela ba mo tlogela ba tsamaya.
And when they heard, they wondered, and left him, and went.
23 Mme ka letsatsi leo bangwe ba Basadukai, ba ba reng ga go na tsogo ya baswi morago ga loso, ba tla kwa go ene mme ba mmotsa ba re
IN that (same) day came the Zadukoyee, affirming to him, (that) there is no life for the dead. And they questioned him,
24 “Morena, Moshe o rile fa motho a a swa a sena bana, monnawe a nyale motlholagadi yoo, mme bana ba bone ba tlaa ja boswa.
saying to him, Doctor, Musha has said to us that if a man die having no children, his brother shall take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Go kile ga bo go na le monna mongwe mo motseng wa rona a na le bana ba basimane ba supa. Mme wa ntlha a nyala mme a swa a sena bana, jalo motlholagadi wa gagwe a nna mosadi wa ga monnawe yo o mo tlhomaganelang.
But there were with us seven brethren: the eldest (of whom) took a wife, and died. And because he had no children, he left his wife unto his brother.
26 Mme le ene monnawe yo, a swa a sena bana, mme mosadi a nyalwa ke monnawe yo mongwe. Ga direga fela jalo go fitlhelela a nna mosadi wa mongwe le mongwe wa bone ka bosupa!
So also did he who was second, and he who was the third, and unto the seventh of them.
27 Mme mosadi le ene a swa.
But the last of all the woman also is dead.
28 Jalo o tlaa nna mosadi wa ga mang mo tsogong ya baswi? Gonne e ne e le mosadi wa bone ka bosupa.”
In the resurrection, therefore, of whom from these seven shall she be the wife? for all had taken her.
29 Mme Jesu a re, “Phoso ya lona e dirwa ke bosenakitso jwa lona jwa go tlhoka go itse dikwalo le nonofo ya Modimo.
Jeshu answered and said to them, You do err, because you understand not the scriptures nor the power of Aloha.
30 Gonne mo tsogong ya baswi ga go na lenyalo; mongwe le mongwe o tshwana le baengele mo legodimong.
For in the resurrection of the dead, they take not wives, neither are wives to husbands; but as the angels of Aloha in heaven are they.
31 Mme jaanong, fa e le gore go na le tsogo ya baswi, a ga lo ke lo bala dikwalo? A ga lo lemoge gore Modimo o ne o bua le lona fa o re,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which has been spoken to you by Aloha, who said,
32 ‘Ke Modimo wa ga Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe!’ Jalo Modimo ga se Modimo wa baswi, mme ke wa batshedi.”
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Is'hok, the God of Jakub? But Aloha is not of those who are dead, but of those who are alive.
33 Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa itumedisiwa thata ke dikarabo tsa gagwe.
And when the multitudes heard, they were wonder-struck at his doctrine.
34 Mme e seng Bafarasai! E rile ba utlwa gore o didimaditse Basadukai ka phetolo ya gagwe, ba akanya sesha potso e bone ba ka e mmotsang. Mongwe wa bone yo e neng e le mmueledi (Agente), a bua a re:
BUT when the Pharishee heard that he had silenced the Zadukoyee, they gathered together.
And one from them, who was skilful in the law, questioned him, tempting him,
36 “Morena, taolo ya botlhokwa mo melaong ya ga Moshe ke efe?”
Doctor, which commandment is greatest in the law?
37 Jesu a fetola a re, “‘Rata Morena Modimo wa gago ka pelo yotlhe ya gago, ka mowa le tlhaloganyo.’
Jeshu said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind.
38 E ke taolo ya ntlha ebile e le e kgolo. Ya bobedi ya botlhokwa thata e e tshwanang le yone ke e e reng: ‘Rata mongwe ka wena jaaka o ithata.’
This is the commandment, the great and the first.
And the second is like unto it, That thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 Ditaolo tse dingwe tsotlhe le se se batlwang ke baporofiti di tswa mo melaong e mebedi e, mme e diragadiwa fa e tshegediwa. Tshegetsa yone e mebedi e fela, mme o tlaa bona gore o tshegeditse e mengwe yotlhe.”
On these two commandments hang the law and the prophets.
41 Mme ya re a farafarilwe ke Bafarasai, a ba botsa potso a re:
while the Pharishee were gathered together, Jeshu questioned them,
42 “Lo gopolang ka ga Mesia? Ke Morwa mang?” Ba araba ba re “Ke Morwa Dafide.”
and said, What say you concerning the Meshicha, -whose son? They say to him, Son of David.
43 Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “Mme ke eng fa Dafide, a bua ka tlhotlheletso ya Mowa o o Boitshepo, a mmitsa a re ‘Morena’ Ka gore Dafide o rile,
Saith he to them, And how doth David in spirit call him THE LORD? For he said,
44 ‘Modimo o reile Morena wa me wa re, nna ka fa letsogong la me le legolo go fitlhelela ke baya baba ba gago ka fa tlase ga dinao tsa gago!’
that the Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I put thine adversaries beneath thy feet.
45 Mme fa Dafide a mmitsa ‘Morena’, e ka nna morwawe jang?”
If, then, David calleth him the Lord, how is he his son?
46 Ba tlhoka karabo. Mme morago ga moo ba tshaba go tlhola ba mmotsa dipotso tse dingwe.
And no man could give to him the answer; nor did any man dare again from that day to question him.
