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.
Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for 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 sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not 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!”
Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding 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 made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 ba bangwe ba itaya batlhanka ba gagwe ba ba tshwara setlhogo mo go tlhabisang ditlhong, ba bo ba bolaya bangwe ba bone.
and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Hong Kgosi e e galefileng ya bolotsa ntwa ya yone ya bolaya babolai ya tshuba motse wa bone.
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, 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 he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.
9 Jaanong tsamayang mo mebileng ya motse lo laletse mongwe le mongwe yo lo mmonang.”
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 Mme batlhanka ba dira fela jalo, ba lere batho botlhe, basiami le baleofi ka go tshwana; mme ntlo ya tlala balalediwa.
Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding 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).
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,
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, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
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 the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 Gonne ba le bantsi ba biditswe, mme ba se kae ba itshenketswe!
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 Bafarasai ba kopana go leka go akanya tsela e ba ka mo tshwarang mo puong ka yone.
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
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.
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you aren’t partial to anyone.
17 Jaanong re bolelele, a go siame go ntshetsa mmuso wa Roma lekgetho kgotsa nnyaa?”
Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, 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 Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Ntshupegetsang ledi,” Mme ba le mo naya.
Show me the tax money.” They brought 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”?
He asked them, “Whose is 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 said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 Mme phetolo ya gagwe e ne ya ba gakgamatsa ya ba ya ba palela ba mo tlogela ba tsamaya.
When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
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
On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked 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, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for 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.
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to 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!
In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Mme mosadi le ene a swa.
After them all, the woman died.
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, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had 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.
But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Gonne mo tsogong ya baswi ga go na lenyalo; mongwe le mongwe o tshwana le baengele mo legodimong.
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
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, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
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, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa itumedisiwa thata ke dikarabo tsa gagwe.
When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
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 the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36 “Morena, taolo ya botlhokwa mo melaong ya ga Moshe ke efe?”
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 Jesu a fetola a re, “‘Rata Morena Modimo wa gago ka pelo yotlhe ya gago, ka mowa le tlhaloganyo.’
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your 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 first and great commandment.
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
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.”
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 Mme ya re a farafarilwe ke Bafarasai, a ba botsa potso a re:
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 “Lo gopolang ka ga Mesia? Ke Morwa mang?” Ba araba ba re “Ke Morwa Dafide.”
saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “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,
He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
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!’
‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 Mme fa Dafide a mmitsa ‘Morena’, e ka nna morwawe jang?”
“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 Ba tlhoka karabo. Mme morago ga moo ba tshaba go tlhola ba mmotsa dipotso tse dingwe.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
