Mathaio 26
1 Mme e rile Jesu a sena go fetsa puo e le barutwa ba gagwe a ba raya a re,
And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,
2 “Jaaka lo itse, gore modiro wa Tlolaganyo o simologa mo malatsing a mabedi a a tlang, ke tlaa okwa ke be ke bapolwa.”
After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.
3 Ka lone lobaka loo ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le bagolwane ba bangwe ba Sejuda ba phuthegela kwa kgotleng ya ga Kaiafase moperesiti yo mogolo,
Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.
4 go gakololana ka maano a go tshwara Jesu ka bokukuntshwane go mmolaya.
And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.
5 Mme ba dumalana ba re, “Eseng ka modiro wa Tlolaganyo, gonne go ka tsoga pheretlhego.”
But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear of trouble among the people.
6 Foo Jesu a tswela kwa Bethania, kwa legaeng la ga Simone wa molepero.
Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,
7 Mme ya re Jesu a sa ntse a a ja ga tla mosadi mongwe a tshotse lebotlolo la setlolo se se tlhwatlhwa kgolo, mme a se tshela mo tlhogong ya gagwe.
There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.
8 Barutwa ba ne ba gakatsega ba re, “A tshenyo ya madi a magolo! O ka bo a se rekisitse madi a mantsi mme a a abela bahumanegi.”
But when the disciples saw it they were angry, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
For we might have got much money for this and given it to the poor.
10 Jesu a itse se ba se akanyang, mme a re, “Ke eng fa lo mo tshwaya phoso? Gonne o ntiretse tiro e ntle thata.
But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.
11 Lo tlaa aga lo na le bahumanegi, mme ga lo na go nna le nna ka malatsi otlhe.
For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
12 O tshetse setlolo se mo go nna go baakanyetsa mmele wa me go fitlhwa.
For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.
13 Mme o tlaa aga a gopolwa ka tiro e. Polelo ya se a se dirileng e tlaa bolelwa mo lefatshing lotlhe, gongwe le gongwe kwa Mafoko a a Molemo a rerwang teng.”
Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.
14 Judase Isekariota, mongwe wa baaposetoloi ba ba some le bobedi a ya kwa ditlhogong tsa baperesiti,
Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,
15 mme a botsa a re, “Lo tlaa ntuela bokae go tsenya Jesu mo diatleng tsa lona?” Mme ba mo naya dipapetlana tsa selefera di le masome mararo.
What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.
16 Mme go simologa ka lobaka loo, Judase a batla lebaka le le siameng la go ba okela Jesu.
And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.
17 Mo letsatsing la ntlha la mediro ya Tlolaganyo, fa senkgwe se se sa bidisi wang se se, tswang mo malapeng a a farologaneng a Sejuda se jewa, barutwa ba tla kwa go Jesu ba mmotsa ba re, “Re baakanyetsa go jela Moletlo wa Tlolaganyo kae?”
Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?
18 A fetola a re, “Tsenang mo motseng lo fete lo bone rre semangmang, mme lo mo reye lo re, ‘Monnga rona a re, nako yame e gorogile mme ke tlaa jela dijo tsa Moletlo wa Tlolaganyo le barutwa ba me kwa tlong ya gago.’”
And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.
19 Jalo barutwa ba dira jaaka a ba boleletse, mme ba baakanya dijo teng.
And the disciples did as Jesus had said to them; and they made ready the Passover.
20 Mme ya re mo maabanyaneng ao fa a sa ntse a a ja le ba ba some le bobedi, a bua a re “Mongwe wa lona o tlaa nkoka.”
Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;
And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.
22 Mme ba futsafala thata, mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a botsa a re, “A ke nna?”
And they were very said, and said to him, one by one, Is it I, Lord?
23 A fetola a re, “Ke yo ke mo fileng sejo pele.
And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.
24 Gonne ke tshwanetse go swa fela jaaka go porofitilwe, mme a bo go latlhega monna yo o nkokang. Go ka bo go le molemo thata fa yoo a ka bo a na a seka a tsalwa.”
The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.
25 Judase le ene, o ne a mmotsa a re, “Moruti, a ke nna?” Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke wena.”
And Judas, who was false to him, made answer and said, Is it I, Master? He says to him, Yes.
26 Ya re ba sa ja, Jesu a tsaya senkgwe a se segofatsa, a se ngathoganya a se neela barutwa a re, “Tsayang lo je gonne se ke mmele wa me.”
And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body.
27 Gape a tsaya senwelo sa mofine a se segofatsa, a se ba neela a re, “Mongwe le mongwe a nwe,
And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,
28 gonne se ke madi ame, a a kanelang Kgolagano e Ncha. A tshololelwa go itshwarela dibe tsa bontsintsi jwa batho.
Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.
29 Tlhokomelang mafoko a me: Ga ke na go tlhola ke nwa mofine o gape go fitlhelela letsatsi le ke tlaa o nwang le lona o le mosha mo Bogosing jwa ga Rre.”
But I say to you that from now I will not take of this fruit of the vine, till that day when I take it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 Mme ya re ba sena go opela sefela, ba ya kwa Thabeng ya Lotlhware.
And after a song of praise to God, they went out to the Mountain of Olives.
31 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Bosigong jono, lotlhe lo tlaa mphatlalalela. Gonne go kwadilwe mo Dikwalong gore Modimo o tlaa itaya modisa, mme letsomane la dinku le tlaa phatlalala.
Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.
32 Mme morago ga ke tsosiwa ke tlaa ya Galalea, go lo rakantsha teng.”
But after I am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 Petere a mo fetola a re, “Fa botlhe ba ka go tlogela, nna ga ke na go go tlogela.”
But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away.
34 Jesu a mo raya a re, “Boammaaruri ke gore mo bosigongjono, pele ga mokoko o lela ka nako ya mahube maphakela, o tlaa bo o intatotse gararo!”.
Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.
35 Petere a fetola a re, “Go ka swa nna pele.” Mme le barutwa ba bangwe botlhe ba bua fela jalo.
Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.
36 Hong Jesu a ba lere fa moseleng wa tshimo ya Gethesemane, mme a ba raya a re ba nne fa fatshe mme ba lete foo a sa ntse a tsamaela fa pele go ya go rapela.
Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.
37 A tsaya Petere le bomorwa Sebede ba babedi Jakobe le Johane, mme a simolola go hutsafala le go huduega.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.
38 Mme a ba raya a re, “Mowa wa me o hutsafetse thata o bile o utlwile botlhoko mo go isang losung: Lo lebelele le Nna.”
Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.
39 A ya fa pelenyana, a wela ka sefatlhogo fa fatshe, a rapela a re, “Rara! Fa go kgonega, a senwelo se se tlosiwe fa go nna. Mme ke batla thato ya gago, eseng ya me.”
And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.
40 Mme a boela morago kwa barutweng ba bararo mme a ba fitlhela ba thulametse. Mme a bitsa Petere a re, “a lo no lo ka seka lwa lebelela le nna ka lobaka lwa selekanyo sa oura fela?
And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?
41 Lebelelang lo rapele. Esengjalo thaelo e tlaa lo fenya. Gonne mowa tota o a rata, mme mmele o bokoa thata!”
Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.
42 Gape a ba tlogela a ya go rapela, a re, “Rara! Fa senwelo se se sa kake sa feta fela fa ke sa se nwe sotlhe, a go rata ga gago go diragale.”
Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.
43 A boela kwa go bone mme a fitlhela ba robetse, gonne ba ne ba otsela thata,
And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.
44 mme a boela gape mo thapelong lwa boraro, a boelela mafoko a o neng a ntse a a bua.
And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.
45 Hong a tla kwa barutweng a re, “Robalang lo itapoloseng, bonang! Nako e gorogile, ke okelwa mo diatleng tsa batho ba ba bosula!
Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.
46 Tsogang; a re tsamayeng! Bonang, motho yo o nkokang ke yoo o e tla!”
Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.
47 Mme ya re ka lona lobaka loo a ntse a bua, Judase, mongwe wa ba ba lesome le bobedi, a goroga le bontsi jo bogolo jwa batho ba tshotse dichaka le melamu ba romilwe ke Baeteledipele ba Sejuda.
And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.
48 Judase o na a ba reile a re ba tshware yo o tlaa mo dumedisang gonne e tlaa bo e le ene yo ba mmatlang.
Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.
49 Hong Judase a tla a tlhamalaletse kwa go Jesu a re, “Dumela Morena!” Mme a mo tlamparela ka tsela ya go atla ka lorato lo lo feteletseng lwa tlhologelelo.
And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.
50 Jesu a re, “Tsala ya me, tswelela pele o dire se o se tletseng.” Hong ba bangwe ba mo tshwara.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.
51 Mongwe wa banna ba ba patileng Jesu a somola chaka a kgaola tsebe ya motlhanka wa Moperesiti yo mogolo.
And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.
52 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Baya chaka ya gago, ba ba dirisang dichaka ba tlaa bolawa.
Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.
53 A ga o lemoge gore ke ne ke ka kopa Rre dikete tsa baengele go re sireletsa, mme o na a ka ba roma gone fela ka nako eo.
Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?
54 Mme fa nkabo ke dirile jalo; Dikwalo di ne di ka diragadiwa jang tse di tlhalosang se se diragalang jaanong jaana?”
But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?
55 Hong Jesu a bua le bontsintsi jwa batho a re, “A ke serukutlhi se se diphatsa, mo lo neng lwa tshwanelwa ke go tsaya dichaka le melamu pele ga lo ntshwara? Ke ntse le lona ka malatsi otlhe ke ruta mo Tempeleng mme ga lo ise lo ke lo nkganele.
In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.
56 Mme mo gotlhe ga diragala go diragatsa mafoko a baporofiti jaaka a kwadilwe mo Dikwalong.”
But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.
57 Hong bontsi jwa batho jwa mo isa kwa legaeng la ga Kaiafase Moperesiti yo mogolo, kwa baeteledipele botlhe ba Sejuda ba neng ba phuthegetse teng.
And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.
58 Mme e rile ka yone nako eo Petere a bo a le kgakala a mo setse morago, mme a tla mo kgotleng ya moperesiti yo mogolo a tsena mo teng a nna le masole, mme a emela go bona se se neng se tsile go diragalela Jesu.
But Peter went after him at a distance, to the house of the high priest, and went in and took his seat with the servants, to see the end.
59 Ditlhogo tsa baperesiti le lekgotla lotlhe le le tona la Sejuda tsa phuthaganela teng mme tsa senka basupi ba ba ka buang maaka ka ga Jesu, go mo direla kgang e e ka felelang ka katlholo ya loso.
Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;
60 Mme le fa ba ne ba bona bontsi jo bo neng jwa dumalana go nna basupi ba eseng ba boammaaruri, bone bao ba ne ba aga ba ganetsanya. Lwa bofelo ga bonwa banna ba le babedi ba ba neng ba supa ba re, “Monna yo o rile, ‘Ke kgona go senya Tempele ya Modimo ke bo ke e age mo malatsing a mararo’
And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.
But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.
62 Hong Mo peresiti yo Mogolo a ema ka dinao a raya Jesu a re, wa reng ka ga gone? A o buile jalo kgotsa nnyaa?”
And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?
63 Mme Jesu a didimala fela. Jalo Moperesiti yo Mogolo a mo raya a re, “Ke go ikanisa mo leineng la Modimo o o tshedileng gore o re bolelele gore a o ipitsa Mesia Morwa Modimo.”
But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.
64 Mme Jesu a re, “Ee, ke ene. Mme e tlaa re mo malatsing a a tlang lo tlaa mpona, Nna Morwa Motho, ke ntse ka fa lebogong le legolo la Modimo ke tla ka maru a legodimo.”
Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
65 Hong moperesiti yo Mogolo a ikgagola diaparo a goa a re, “O a tlhapatsa! Re sa ntse re tlhokelang basupi ba bangwe? Lo mo utlwile lotlhe a buajalo! Katlholo ya lona ke efe?” Ba gowa ba re, “A a bolawe! A a bolawe! A a bolawe!”
Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:
What is your opinion? They made answer and said, It is right for him to be put to death.
67 Hong ba mo kgwela mathe mo sefatlhogong, ba mo itaya mme ba bangwe ba mo phanya.
Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,
68 Ba re, “Re porofesetse, wena Mesia ke mang yo o nang a go itaya ka nako ele?”
Be a prophet, O Christ, and say who gave you a blow!
69 Mme e rile ka lobaka loo, fa Petere a ntse mo kgotleng, mosetsana a tla kwa go ene a mo raya a re, “O ne o na le Jesu, gonne lotlhe lo tswa Galalea.”
Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.
70 Mme Petere a itatolela kwa godimo a gaketse a re, “Ga ke itse se o buang ka sone.”
But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say.
71 Mme ya re a sena go tswa ka kgoro, mosetsana yo mongwe a mo lemoga, mme a raya ba ba neng ba eme foo a re, “Monna yo o ne a na le Jesu wa Nasaretha.”
And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 Gape Petere a itatola, ka ikano a re “Ga ke itse monna yo.”
And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man.
73 Mme morago ga lobakanyana banna ba ba neng ba eme foo ba tla kwa go ene ba re, “Re itse gore o mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe, gonne re utlwile loleme lwa gago lwa Segalalea.”
And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.
74 Petere a simolola go rogakana le go ikana a re, “Ga ke itse monna yo.” Mme ka bofefo mokoko wa lela.
Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.
75 Hong Petere a gakologelwa se Jesu a se mo reileng fa a re, “Pele ga mokoko o lela o tlaa bo o intatotse gararo.” Mme a tswela kwa ntle a lela mo go botlhoko.
And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.
