Mathaio 26
1 Mme e rile Jesu a sena go fetsa puo e le barutwa ba gagwe a ba raya a re,
And it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that 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.”
"You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."
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 scribes and the elders of the people gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
4 go gakololana ka maano a go tshwara Jesu ka bokukuntshwane go mmolaya.
They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit, and kill him.
5 Mme ba dumalana ba re, “Eseng ka modiro wa Tlolaganyo, gonne go ka tsoga pheretlhego.”
But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur 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.
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the 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 this, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given 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.
However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me.
11 Lo tlaa aga lo na le bahumanegi, mme ga lo na go nna le nna ka malatsi otlhe.
For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have me.
12 O tshetse setlolo se mo go nna go baakanyetsa mmele wa me go fitlhwa.
For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
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 tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial 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 called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
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.
and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 Mme go simologa ka lobaka loo, Judase a batla lebaka le le siameng la go ba okela Jesu.
From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
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 do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
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.’”
He said, "Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, 'The Teacher 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.
The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared 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 had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve.
As they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you that one of you will betray me."
22 Mme ba futsafala thata, mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a botsa a re, “A ke nna?”
They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, "It is not me, is it, Lord?"
23 A fetola a re, “Ke yo ke mo fileng sejo pele.
He answered, "He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray 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 it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for that man if he had not been born."
25 Judase le ene, o ne a mmotsa a re, “Moruti, a ke nna?” Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ke wena.”
Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "It is not me, is it, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You said it."
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.”
As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; 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,
He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,
28 gonne se ke madi ame, a a kanelang Kgolagano e Ncha. A tshololelwa go itshwarela dibe tsa bontsintsi jwa batho.
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many 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 tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."
30 Mme ya re ba sena go opela sefela, ba ya kwa Thabeng ya Lotlhware.
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount 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 Jesus said to them, "All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
32 Mme morago ga ke tsosiwa ke tlaa ya Galalea, go lo rakantsha teng.”
But after I am raised up, 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 answered him, "Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble."
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 tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
35 Petere a fetola a re, “Go ka swa nna pele.” Mme le barutwa ba bangwe botlhe ba bua fela jalo.
Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you." All of the disciples also said likewise.
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 Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."
37 A tsaya Petere le bomorwa Sebede ba babedi Jakobe le Johane, mme a simolola go hutsafala le go huduega.
He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely 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 he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
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.”
He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
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?
He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, could you not watch with me for one hour?
41 Lebelelang lo rapele. Esengjalo thaelo e tlaa lo fenya. Gonne mowa tota o a rata, mme mmele o bokoa thata!”
Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
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 prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, your desire be done."
43 A boela kwa go bone mme a fitlhela ba robetse, gonne ba ne ba otsela thata,
He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 mme a boela gape mo thapelong lwa boraro, a boelela mafoko a o neng a ntse a a bua.
He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
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 came to the disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Tsogang; a re tsamayeng! Bonang, motho yo o nkokang ke yoo o e tla!”
Arise, let us be going. Look, he who betrays me 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.
While he was still speaking, look, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of 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 he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, "Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize 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.
Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Greetings, Rabbi." and kissed him.
50 Jesu a re, “Tsala ya me, tswelela pele o dire se o se tletseng.” Hong ba bangwe ba mo tshwara.
Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid 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 look, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
52 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Baya chaka ya gago, ba ba dirisang dichaka ba tlaa bolawa.
Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die 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.
Or do you think that I could not ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Mme fa nkabo ke dirile jalo; Dikwalo di ne di ka diragadiwa jang tse di tlhalosang se se diragalang jaanong jaana?”
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"
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 crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.
56 Mme mo gotlhe ga diragala go diragatsa mafoko a baporofiti jaaka a kwadilwe mo Dikwalong.”
But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
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.
Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered 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 followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, 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 the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus so they could 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 found none, even though many false witnesses came forward. But afterward two came forward,
and said, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it 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?”
The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify 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 held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether 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 said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
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 tore his clothing, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy. Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard his blasphemy.
What do you think?" They answered, "He is worthy of death."
67 Hong ba mo kgwela mathe mo sefatlhogong, ba mo itaya mme ba bangwe ba mo phanya.
Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
68 Ba re, “Re porofesetse, wena Mesia ke mang yo o nang a go itaya ka nako ele?”
saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ. Who hit you?"
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 sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him, saying, "You were also with Jesus, the Galilean."
70 Mme Petere a itatolela kwa godimo a gaketse a re, “Ga ke itse se o buang ka sone.”
But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are talking about."
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 onto the porch, another girl saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus the Nazorean."
72 Gape Petere a itatola, ka ikano a re “Ga ke itse monna yo.”
Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know 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.”
After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your accent makes you known."
74 Petere a simolola go rogakana le go ikana a re, “Ga ke itse monna yo.” Mme ka bofefo mokoko wa lela.
Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man." Immediately the rooster crowed.
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.
Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." He went out and wept bitterly.
