Luke 9
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu a phutha baaposetoloi ba gagwe ba ba lesome le bobedi! A ba naya taolo mo meweng e e bosula, a ba naya nonofo go e kgoromeletsa ntle go fodisa malwetse otlhe.
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
Hong a ba roma go ya go bolelela mongwe le mongwe kaga go tla ga Bogosi jwa Modimo le go fodisa balwetse.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
A ba laela a re, “Se tseyeng le fa e le seikokotlelo, kgotsa kgetsana ya loeto, kgotsa dijo, kgotsa madi le fa e le hempe e nngwe.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Lo nne fela fa lo gorogetseng teng mo motsing mongwe le mongwe.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
“Fa batho ba motse ba sa lo reetse fa lo tsena, hularang lo tsamaye, lo supa bogale jwa Modimo kgatlhanong le motse o o ka go itlhotlhora lorole lwa one mo dinaong tsa lona fa lo tsamaya.”
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
Mme jalo ba simolola go tlhatlologanya metsana, ba rera Mafoko a a Molemo ba bile ba fodisa balwetse.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
Mme e rile fa dipolelo tsa dikgakgamatso tsa ga Jesu di tsena kwa go Herode wa mmusi, a tshwenyega thata a akabala, gonne bangwe ba ne ba re “Ke Johane wa Mokolobetsi o rudile”,
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
ba bangwe ba re, “Ke Elija kgotsa mongwe wa baporofiti ba bogologolo o tsogile mo losong.” Mme magatwe a a anama le lefatshe lotlhe.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
Mme Herode a re, “Ke kgaotse Johane tlhogo.” “Jaanong ke mang monna yo ke utlwang dipolelo tse di sa tlwaelesegang ka ga gagwe?” Mme a eletsa go mmona.
10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
Mme ya re Baapostoloi ba sena go boela kwa go Jesu go ya go bolela se ba se dirileng, a ngwangwaela ka tidimalo le bone go ya kwa motsing wa Bethesaida.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
Mme bontsintsi jwa batho jwa bona kwa o yang gone, mme ba mo sala morago. A ba amogela a ba ruta gape kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo a ba a fodisa ba ba neng ba lwala.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
Mo tshokologong barutwa botlhe ba ba lesome le bobedi ba tla ba mo kopa gore a phatlalaletse batho kwa metsaneng le masimo a a gautshwane go ya go batla dijo le marobalo. Ba re, “Gonne ga go na se se jewang fa mo sekakeng se.”
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Ba feng dijo!” Mme bone ba re, “Go reng, re na le dinkgwe di le tlhano fela le ditlhapi tse pedi mo gare ga bontsintsi jwa rona, kgotsa o gopotse gore re ye go rekela bontsintsi jo dijo tse di lekaneng?”
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
Gonne go ne go na le batho ba ka nna dikete tse tlhano foo. Jesu a fetola a re, “Ba reyeng ba nne fa fatshe ka ditlhopha tse di ka nnang tsa masome a matlhano.”
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
Mme ba dira jalo.
16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Mme Jesu a tsaya dinkgwe tse tlhano le ditlhapi tse pedi a leba kwa godimo mo loaping a leboga; mme a ngathoganyetsa barutwa ba gagwe go di abela batho.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Mme mongwe le mongwe a ja a kgora; mme ga sala diroto di le lesome le bobedi di tletse masalela!
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
Ka letsatsi lengwe fa a le esi, a rapela le barutwa ba gagwe, a tla kwa go bone a ba botsa a re, “Batho ba re ke mang?”
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
Ba mo raya ba re, “Johane wa Mokolobetsi, kgotsa gongwe Elija kgotsa mongwe wa baporofiti ba bogologolo a tsogile mo losong.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
Hong a ba botsa a re, “Lona lo akanya gore ke mang?” Mme Petere a fetola a re, “O Mesia Keresete wa Modimo!”
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
Mme a ba naya ditaolo tse di gagametseng gore ba se ka ba bolelela ope.
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
A re, “Gonne ke tlaa sotlega thata, e bile ke tlaa ganwa ke baeteledipele ba Sejuta, bagolwane, baperesiti ba bagolo le bomaitseanape ba molao, ke tlaa bolawa mme morago ga malatsi a mararo ke tlaa rula!”
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
Mme a ba raya botlhe a re, “Le fa e le mang yo o batlang go ntshala morago a a tseye mokgoro wa gagwe letsatsi le letsatsi a nne gaufi le nna!
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
Le fa e le mang yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo ka ntlha ya me, o tlaa bo boloka mme le fa e le mang yo o tsweletseng a boloka botshelo jwa gagwe bo tlaa mo latlhegela;
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
mme go thusang gore motho a gape lefatshe lotlhe mme a latlhegelwe ke botshelo jwa gagwe?
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
“Fa nna Morwa Motho, ke tla ka kgalalelo ya ga Rara le baengele ba ba boitshepo, ke tlaa ba tlhabelwa ke ditlhong botlhe ba ba ntlhabelwang ke ditlhong le mafoko a me gompieno.
27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
Mme boammaaruri jo e leng jone ke jo, bangwe ba lona ba ba emeng fano fa nako e, ga ba kitla ba a swa go fitlhelela lo sena go bona Bogosi jwa Modimo!”
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Morago ga malatsi a le lesome le bofera bobedi Jesu a tsaya Petere, Jakoba le Johane go ya go rapela kwa dithabeng.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Mme ya re a ntse a rapela, sefatlhogo sa gagwe sa simolola go phatsima le diaparo tsa gagwe tsa sweufala tsa lakasela.
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Hong banna ba babedi Moshe le Elija ba iponatsa mme ba simolola go bua nae.
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Ba ne ba bonala ba galalela, ba le bantle thata; ba bua ka loso lwa gagwe lo lo tlaa diragalang kwa Jerusalema go diragatsa leano la Modimo.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
Petere le ba bangwe ba ne ba otsela ebile ba robetse. Hong ba tsoga ba bona Jesu a apesitswe ke phatsimo le kgalalelo, le banna ba babedi ba eme le ene.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
Erile fa Moshe le Elija ba simolola go tsamaya, Petere a sa itlhaloganye, a bile a sa itse se a se buang a kgomoga a re, “Morena, go molemo jang! Re tlaa aga metlaagana e le meraro, o mongwe e le wa gago o mongwe e le wa ga Moshe o mongwe e le wa ga Elija.”
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Mme ya re a santse a bua jaana leru le le phatsimang la ikaga mo godimo ga bone; mme ba tshwarwa ke poifo fa le ba khurumetsa.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
Mme lentswe le le tswang mo lerung la re, “Yo ke morwaake, yo ke mo itlhaoletseng; mo utlweng.”
36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
Mme ya re morago, lentswe le sena go feta, Jesu a bo a le esi le barutwa ba gagwe. Mme ba seka ba bolelela ope se ba se boneng go fitlhelela morago ga lobaka lo lo leele.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Mme ya re ka letsatsi le le latelang fa ba fologa thaba, boidiidi jo bogolo jwa batho jwa mo kgatlhantsha,
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
hong monna mongwe mo bontsing a mo tlhaeletsa a re, “Moruti, mosimane yo o fano yo ke ene fela morwaake,
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
mme mowa o o maswe o tsweletse ka go mo tshwenya, o mo dira gore a goe; mme o mo karalatse gore a bo a phoke mafulo mo molomong; o aga o mo keteka, mme ga o ke o bo o mo tlogela.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
Ke kopile barutwa ba gago gore ba kgoromeletse mowa o o maswe o kwa ntle mme ga ba a ka ba kgona.”
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Hong Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Batho ba ba logwadi ke lona ba lo senang tumelo, ke tlaa nna le lona lobaka lo lo kae? Mo tliseng kwano.”
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Ya re mosimane a tla mowa o o maswe wa mo digela fa fatshe wa mo karalatsa mo go botlhoko. Mme Jesu a laola mowa o o maswe gore o tswele kwa ntle, a fodisa mosimane mme a mo neela rraagwe.
43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
Mme batho ba welwa ke kgakgamalo fa ba bona tiragalo ya nonofo ya Modimo. E rile ba sa ntse ba bolela dilo tse di molemo tse o neng a di dira, Jesu a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re,
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
“Ntheetsang lo bo lo gakologelwe se ke se buang. Nna, Morwa Motho, ke tlaa okwa.”
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Mme barutwa ba gagwe ba ne ba sa itse gore o rayang, gonne megopolo ya bone e ne e kaneletswe, ba boifa go mmotsa.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
Mme jaanong ga tsoga kgang mo gare ga bone gore ke ofe wa bone yo o tlaa nnang mogolo [mo Bogosingjo bo tlang]!
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
Mme Jesu a bo a setse a itsile megopolo ya bone, a baya ngwanyana fa go ene,
48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
mme a ba raya a re, “Le fa e le mang yo o tlhokomelang ngwananyana yo o tshwanang le yo, o tlhokomela nna! Mme le fa e le mang yo o ntlhokomelang o tlhokometse Modimo o o nthomileng. Tlhokomelo ya lona mo go ba bangwe ke sone selekanyo sa bogolo ba lona.”
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
Mme morutwa mongwe wa gagwe ebong Johane a tla kwa go ene a re, “Morena, re bone mongwe a dirisa leina la gago go kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe kwa ntle. Mme ra mo itsa. Ka gonne e ne e se wa setlhopha sa rona!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
Mme Jesu a re, “Ga lo a tshwanela go ka bo lo dirile jalo! Gonne mongwe le mongwe yo o seng kgatlhanong le lona ke wa lona.”
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
Mme ya re ka lobaka lwa gagwe lwa go boela kwa legodimong lo atamela, a tsamaya ka boiketlo go ya Jerusalema ka maikaelelo a a tlhomameng.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe a romela barongwa kwa pele go ya go ba baakanyetsa matlwana mo motseng wa Samaria.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
Mme batho ba motse oo ba ba koba ba gana go ba amogela ka gore ba ne ba fetela Jerusalema.
54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
Mme e rile fa ba utlwa gore go diragetseng, Jakobe le Johane ba raya Jesu ba re, “Morena, a ke re laole molelo gore o fologe kwa legodimong o ba laile?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
Mme Jesu a retologa a ba kgalemela,
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
mme ba tsamaela kwa motseng o mongwe.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
Ya re ba ntse ba tsamaya mongwe a raya Jesu a re, “Nna ke tlaa go sala morago gongwe le gongwe kwa o yang teng.”
58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Gakologelwa gore ga ke na fa ke robalang teng, bophokoje ba na le mesima e ba nnang mo go yone, le dinonyane di na le dintlhaga, mme nna Morwa Motho ga ke na lelapa mo lefatsheng gotlhelele.”
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Mme ya re ka nako e nngwe fa a laletsa monna mongwe go nna morutwa wa gagwe, monna a dumela, mme a batla go leta go fitlhela loso lwa ga rraagwe.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
Hong Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Lesa ba ba senang botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ba dire dilo tse di ntseng jalo. Wena tiro ya gago ke go tla go rerela lefatshe lotlhe Bogosi jwa Modimo.”
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
Yo mongwe a re, “Ee, Morena, ke tlaa tla, mme ntetla go ya go kopa tetlelelo mo go bagaetsho.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Le fa ele mang yo o iteseletsang go tsietsega mo tirong e ke e mo laetseng ga a a nonofela Bogosi jwa Modimo.”
