Mathaio 26
1 Mme e rile Jesu a sena go fetsa puo e le barutwa ba gagwe a ba raya a re,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto 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.”
Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is 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 were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
4 go gakololana ka maano a go tshwara Jesu ka bokukuntshwane go mmolaya.
and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtilty, 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 tumult arise 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 unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat.
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 had indignation, saying, To what purpose is 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.
But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 Lo tlaa aga lo na le bahumanegi, mme ga lo na go nna le nna ka malatsi otlhe.
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 O tshetse setlolo se mo go nna go baakanyetsa mmele wa me go fitlhwa.
For in that she poured this ointment upon 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.”
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for 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 unto 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 ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces 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 sought opportunity to deliver him [unto them].
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 wilt thou that we make ready for thee 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.’”
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 Jalo barutwa ba dira jaaka a ba boleletse, mme ba baakanya dijo teng.
And the disciples did as Jesus appointed 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 even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;
and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Mme ba futsafala thata, mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a botsa a re, “A ke nna?”
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
23 A fetola a re, “Ke yo ke mo fileng sejo pele.
And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall 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 goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it 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.”
And Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
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 as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and 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,
And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of 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 covenant, which is shed for many unto remission 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 unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink 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 when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto 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 saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
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 and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.
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 unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35 Petere a fetola a re, “Go ka swa nna pele.” Mme le barutwa ba bangwe botlhe ba bua fela jalo.
Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, [yet] will I not deny thee. Likewise also 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 cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
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 began to be sorrowful and sore 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 saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye 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.”
And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
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 cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not 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!”
Watch and pray, that ye enter not 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, O my Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 A boela kwa go bone mme a fitlhela ba robetse, gonne ba ne ba otsela thata,
And 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.
And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again 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 cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, 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: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
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 yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, 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 that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall 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 straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, 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.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, [do] that for which thou art come. 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 behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote 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 saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with 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 thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall 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 should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must 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 said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.
56 Mme mo gotlhe ga diragala go diragatsa mafoko a baporofiti jaaka a kwadilwe mo Dikwalong.”
But all this is come to pass, 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.
And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] 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 afar off, unto 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 witness against Jesus, 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 found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,
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?”
And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
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. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be 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 saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting 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 rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
67 Hong ba mo kgwela mathe mo sefatlhogong, ba mo itaya mme ba bangwe ba mo phanya.
Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,
68 Ba re, “Re porofesetse, wena Mesia ke mang yo o nang a go itaya ka nako ele?”
saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?
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 without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast 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 denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
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 was gone out into the porch, another [maid] saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 Gape Petere a itatola, ka ikano a re “Ga ke itse monna yo.”
And again he denied with an oath, I know not 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 while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Petere a simolola go rogakana le go ikana a re, “Ga ke itse monna yo.” Mme ka bofefo mokoko wa lela.
Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.
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 Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
