Mathaio 9
1 Mme Jesu a palama mokoro a kgabaganya lecha a ya Kaperanama, motse wa ga gabo.
And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Ka bofefo banna bangwe ba lere kwa go ene mosimane yo o teteselang a le mo phateng. Erile fa Jesu a bona tumelo ya bone a raya mosimane yo o teteselang a re, “Nametsega ngwana, gonne ke go itshwaretse dibe!”
And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven.
3 Mme bangwe ba baeteledipele ba tumelo ba gowa ba re, “O a tlhapatsa, Monna yo a re ke Modimo!”
And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 Jesu o ne a itse se ba neng ba se akanya mme a re, “Ke eng fa lo akanya megopolo e e maswe jaana?
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 A go thata go itshwarela dibe tsa gagwe go na le go mo fodisa?
For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 Mme jalo he, go supa gore ke na le thata fano mo lefatshing go itshwarela dibe.” Jalo a retologela kwa mosimaneng yo o teteselang a mo raya a re, “Tsoga o phuthe phate ya gago o ye lwapeng.”
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.
7 Mme mosimane a nanoga a tsamaya!
And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 Poifo e kgolo ya wela bontsintsi jwa batho fa ba bona se se diragala fa pele ga matlho a bone. Ba galaletsa Modimo thata ka go naya motho thata e e ntseng jalo.
But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.
9 Fa Jesu a tsamaya mo phologelong ya tsela, a bona mokgethisi Mathaio, a ntse fa go kgethisediwang teng, mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Tla o nne morutwa wa me.”
And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 Morago, fa Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba a ja dijo kwa tlung ya ga Mathaio, ga bo go le batsietsi ba le bantsi e le balalediwa ba ba itsegeng ka mekgwa e e maswe.
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Mme Bafarasai ba kgotswa ba re, “Ke eng fa moruti wa lona a dirisanya le batho ba ba ntseng jaana.”
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?
12 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ka gore ba ba itekanetseng ga ba tlhoke ngaka, ba ke ba ba e tlhokang!”
But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
13 Mme a oketsa a re, “Tsamayang lo ithute tlhaloso ya temana ya Lokwalo, ‘Ga se ditlhabelo tsa lona le dimpho tsa lona tse ke tshwenyegang ka tsone, ke batla gore lo nne le kutlwelobotlhoko’. Tiro ya me fano mo lefatshing ke go busetsa badiradibe mo Modimong e seng go tshwenyega ka batho ba ba siameng.”
But go ye and learn what [this] meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
14 Letsatsi lengwe barutwa ba ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi ba tla kwa go Jesu ba mmotsa ba re, “Ke eng fa barutwa ba gago ba sa ikitse go ja dijo jaaka rona le Bafarasai re dira?”
Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “A ditsala tsa monyadi di tshwanetse go hutsafala, di ikitsa dijo fa a sa ntse a na le tsone? Mme nako e tlaa tla fa ke tlaa tlosiwang mo go tsone. Mme ke gone ba tlaa nnang le nako e ntsi go ikitsa dijo.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast.
16 “Mme ke mang yo o ka bitiyang seaparo se segologolo ka letsela le lesha? Ka gore sebata se ka gagola sa dira leroba le legolo go gaisa pele.
And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
17 “Mme emang yo o ka dirisang makuka a magologolo a mofine go tshela mofine o mosha? Gonne a magologolo a ka phanngwa ke go hupela, mme mofine, o tshologe, makuka a senyege. Ke makuka a masha fela a a dirisiwang go tshela mofine o mosha.”
Neither do [men] put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.
18 Ya re a sa ntse a bua jaana, moruti wa ntlo ya thuto a tla a mo obamela a re, “Morwadiake yo mmotlana o sule, mme o ka mo rudisa fa o ka tla wa mo ama.”
While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 Ya re Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba sa ntse ba ya kwa lwapeng lwa moruti
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
20 mosadi yo o sa bolong go lwala bolwetse jwa tshologo ya madi mo teng ka dingwaga di le lesome le metso e le mebedi a tla a mo setse morago mme a ama momeno wa seaparo sa gagwe.
And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
21 Gonne o na a akantse gore, “Fela fa nka mo ama ke tlaa fola.”
for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.
22 Jesu a retologa a bua nae a re, “Morweetsana, gotlhe go siame! Tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse.” Mme mosadi a fola ka yone nako eo.
But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 Erile fa Jesu a goroga kwa lwapeng lwa ga Moruti, a bona bontsintsi jwa batho bo tsositse modumo mme a utlwa le moopelo wa phitlho,
And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,
24 A re, “Ba ntshetseng kwa ntle, gonne morweetsana ga a swa; o robetse fela!” Mme ba ne ba mo tshega ka tshotlo le ka go mo nyatsa!
he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 Ya re fa bontsi jwa batho bo sena go tswela kwa ntle, Jesu a tsena mo teng kwa go neng go namaletse morweetsana mme a mo tshwara ka seatla, mme a nanoga a itekanetse sentle gape.
But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.
26 Mme pego ya kgakgamatso e e gakgamatsang e ya tlala mo lefatshing lotlhe.
And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.
27 Ya re fa Jesu a tswa mo lwapeng lwa morweetsana, banna ba le babedi ba difofu ba mo sala morago ba goa ba re, “Ao Morwa Kgosi Dafide, re utlwele botlhoko.”
And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.
28 Ba tsena mo tlung kwa a neng a nna teng, Mme Jesu a ba botsa a re, “A lo dumela fa ke nonofile go lo foufolola?” Ba re, “Morena, re a dumela.”
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Hong a ama matlho a bone mme a re “Ka ntlha ya tumelo ya lona go tlaa diragala!”
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.
30 Mme ka tshoganetso ba foufologa! Jesu a ba laya gore ba seka ba itsise ope kaga selo seo,
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 mme mo boemong jwa go dira jalo ba anamisa tumo ya gagwe gongwe le gongwe mo motsing.
But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Erile Jesu a tswa mo lefelong leo, a rakana le monna wa semumu yo o neng a sa kgone go bua ka ntlha ya mowa o o maswe o o neng o le mo go ene.
And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
33 Hong Jesu a kgoromeletsa mowa o o maswe kwa ntle, mme gone fela foo monna a simolola go bua. Bontsi jwa batho jwa gakgamala thata ba re, “Ga go ise nke go diragale mo matshelong a rona go bona se se tshwanang le se.”
And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 Mme Bafarasai ba re, lebaka le a nonofileng go kgoromeletsa ntle mewa e e maswe ke gore ene ka bo ene o tsenywe ke mewa e e maswe. O tsenywe ke Satane Kgosi ya mewa e e maswe.
But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.
35 Jesu o na a tsamaya mo tikologong yotlhe mo magaeng a lefatshe leo, a ruta mo matlung a thuto ya Sejuda a anamisa Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Bogosi. Mme gongwe le gongwe kwa a neng a ya teng o na a fodisa batho mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa bolwetse.
And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
36 Mme o na a na le kutlwelo botlhoko thata mo bontsintsing jwa batho jo bo neng bo tla; ka gore matshwenyego a bone a ne a le matona thata mme ba sa itse se ba ka se dirang kgotsa kwa ba neng ba ka ya teng go bona thuso. Ba ne ba tshwana le dinku tse di senang modisa.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.
37 Mme a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re “Thobo e kgolo thata mme barobi ba ba botlana thata.
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few.
38 Jalo he, rapelang yo a leng motlhokomedi wa thobo, lo mo kope go thapa barobi ba bangwe ba masimo a gagwe.”
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.
