Mathaio 3
1 E rile fa ba sa ntse ba le mo Nasaretha, Johane wa Mokolobetsi a simolola go rera mo sekakeng sa Judea. Thero ya gagwe gangwe le gape e ne e re,
Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις παραγίνεται Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς κηρύσσων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ἰουδαίας
2 “Sokologang mo dibeng tsa lona, boelang mo Modimong, gonne Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo atametse.”
[καὶ] λέγων, Μετανοεῖτε· ἤγγικεν γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
3 Isaia moporofiti mo makgolong a dingwaga a a fetileng, o boletse ka ga thuto ya ga Johane. O ne a kwadile a re, “Ke utlwa lentswe le le goang mo sekakeng, ‘Baakanyang tsela ya Morena, tlhamalatsang tsela e a tlaa tsamayang mo go yone.’”
οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ῥηθεὶς διὰ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος, Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ.
4 Diaparo tsa ga Johane di ne di dirilwe ka boboa jwa kamele, o ne a itlama ka moitlamo wa letlalo; dijo tsa gagwe e ne e le tsie le dinotshe tsa naga.
Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶχεν τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τριχῶν καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ· ἡ δὲ τροφὴ ἦν αὐτοῦ ἀκρίδες καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
5 Batho ba ba tswang Jerusalema le ba ba tswang mo tikologong yotlhe kwa moseja ga mogogoro wa Jorodane, le ba ba tswang mo kgaolong nngwe le nngwe ya Judea ba tswela kwa sekakeng go mo reetsa a rera,
Τότε ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία καὶ πᾶσα ἡ περίχωρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου,
6 mme fa ba sena go ipolela dibe tsa bone, a ba kolobetsa mo nokeng ya Jorodane.
καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
7 Mme e rile a bona Bafarasai le Basadukai ba le bantsi ba tla go kolobediwa, a ba nyatsa a re, “Losika lwa dinoga ke lona! Yo o lo reileng a re lo ne lo ka falola mo bogaleng jwa Modimo jo bo tlang ke mang?
ἰδὼν δὲ πολ λοὺς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα [αὐτοῦ], εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;
8 Pele ga lo kolobediwa supang gore lo sokologile mo dibeng ka go dira ditiro tse di tshwanetseng.
ποιήσατε οὖν καρπὸν ἄξιον τῆς μετανοίας·
9 Lo seka lwa ikaketsa lwa re, ‘Re falotse ka re le Bajuda, losika lwa ga Aberahame.’ Moo ga go reye sepe. Modimo o ka fetola maje a a fano a, go nna Bajuda!
καὶ μὴ δόξητε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, Πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ὅτι δύναται ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ.
10 “Mme le jaanong selepe sa katlholo ya Modimo se tsepame go kgaola setlhare sengwe le sengwe se se sa ungweng. Di tlaa rengwa di tshubiwa.
ἤδη δὲ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται.
11 “Nna ke kolobetsa mo metsing ba ba sokologileng mo dibeng tsa bone; mme mongwe o e tla; yo mogolo go mpheta thata, o bogolo jo e leng gore ga ke a lekana go tshola ditlhako tsa gagwe. Ene o tlaa lo kolobetsa ka Mowa o o Boitshepo le ka molelo.
ἐγὼ μὲν ὑμᾶς βαπτίζω ἐν ὕδατι εἰς μετάνοιαν· ὁ δὲ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἰσχυρότερός μού ἐστιν, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς τὰ ὑποδήματα βαστάσαι· αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ καὶ πυρί.
12 O tlaa tlhopa mmoko mo mabeleng, a fisa mmoko ka molelo o o sa khutleng, a ba a boloka mabele mo polokelong.”
οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διακαθαριεῖ τὴν ἅλωνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνάξει τὸν σῖτον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην αὐτοῦ τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον κατακαύσει πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ.
13 Mme a tswa mo ga gabo mo Galalea a ya kwa nokeng ya Jorodane go kolobediwa teng ke Johane.
Τότε παραγίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην, τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
14 Johane o ne a sa batle go mo kolobetsa a re, “Mo ga go a tshwanela, ke nna ke tlhokang go kolobediwa ke wena.”
ὁ δὲ [Ἰωάννης] διεκώλυεν αὐτὸν λέγων, Ἐγὼ χρείαν ἔχω ὑπὸ σοῦ βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με;
15 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Tswee-tswee dira jalo ka gore ke tshwanetse go dira tshiamo yotlhe.” Jalo he, Johane a mo kolobetsa.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, Ἄφες ἄρτι· οὕτως γὰρ πρέπον ἐστὶν ἡμῖν πληρῶσαι πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην. τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτόν.
16 Morago ga kolobetso, fela fa Jesu a tswa mo metsing, magodimo a mmulegela mme a bona Mowa wa Modimo o fologa o le mo setshwanong sa lephoi.
βαπτισθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὐθὺς ἀνέβη ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνεῴχθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδεν τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν [καὶ] ἐρχόμενον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν.
17 Mme lentswe la tswa kwa legodimong le re, “Yo ke morwaake yo o rategang, ke itumela thata ka ene”.
καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν λέγουσα, Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα.
