Matthew 10
1 And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
Jesu a ipiletsa barutwa ba ba lesome le bobedi, mme a ba naya taolo go kgoromeletsa mewa e e maswe ntle le go fodisa malwetse mangwe le mangwe le dipobolo.
2 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Maina a barutwa ba gagwe ba ba lesome le bobedi ke a; Simone yo o bidiwang Petere, Anderea monnaa Petere; Jakobe morwa Sebede, Johane monnaa Jakobe,
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
Filipo, Baretholomica, Thomase, Mathaio wa mokgethisi, Jakobe morwa Alefaio, Thadaeo,
4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
Simone (leloko la “diganka” tsa mokgatlho wa dipolotiki o o neng o batla go diga puso), Judase Isekariota yo o neng a mo oka.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
Jesu o ne a ba roma ka ditaelo tse; “Se yeng kwa go Badichaba kgotsa Basamaria,
6 and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
mme yang fela kwa bathung ba Iseraela; dinku tsa Modimo tse di latlhegileng.
7 'And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
Tsamayang lo anamise mo go bone gore Bogosi jwa legodimo bo atametse.
8 infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
“Fodisang ba ba lwalang, tsosang baswi, fodisang balepero, lo bo lo kgoromeletse mewa e e maswe kwa ntle. Nayang fela jaaka lo amogetse fela.
9 'Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
“Se tseyeng madi mo dipateng fa lo tsamaya;
10 nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
lo se ka lwa tsaya le fa e le kgetsi ya diaparo e na le diaparo tse dingwe le ditlhako, le fa e le seikokotlelo, gonne ba lo ba thusang ba tshwanetse go lo otla le go lo tlhokomela.
11 'And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
Nako le nako fa lo tsena mo motseng le mo metsaneng, senkang motho yo o boifang Modimo lo nne mo legaeng la gagwe go fitlhelela lo tswela kwa motseng o mongwe.
12 And coming to the house salute it,
Fa lo kopa tetlelelo ya go nna, nnang botsalano le batho.
13 and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
Mme fa le itshupa e le legae la SeModimo, le segofatseng, fa go sa nna jalo, nnang ka tshegofatso ya lona.
14 'And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
Motse mongwe le mongwe kgotsa legac le le sa lo amogeleng sentle, lo itlhotlhore lorole lwa lefelo leo mo dinaong tsa lona fa lo tsamaya.
15 verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Ammaaruri, metse e e maswe ya Sodoma le Gomora e tlaa nna botoka bogolo go metse eo ka Letsatsi la Katlholo.
16 'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
“Ke lo roma jaaka dinku mo gare ga diphiri. Nnang botlhale jaaka dinoga le bori jaaka maphoi.
17 And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
Mme itlhokomeleng! Gonne lo tlaa tshwarwa, lo sekisiwa lo kgwathisiwa mo matlung a thuto.
18 and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
“Ee, lo tshwanetse go emela tshekiso fa pele ga balaodi le dikgosi ka ntlha ya me. Mo go tlaa lo neela lobaka lwa go ba bolelela ka ga me, ee, go supegetsa lefatshe.
19 'And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
“Fa lo tshwarwa, se tshwenyegeng gore lo tlaa reng mo tshekong, gonne lo tlaa newa mafoko a a tshwanetseng ka nako e e tshwanetseng.
20 for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
Gonne e tlaa bo e se lona ba lo buang; e tlaa bo e le Mowa wa ga Rraeno wa legodimo o bua ka lona.
21 'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
“Motho o tlaa okela morwa rraagwe losung, mme borabana ba tlaa oka bana ba bone. Mme bana ba tlaa tsogologela batsadi ba bone ba ba neela losung.
22 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Mongwe le mongwe o tlaa lo ila ka ntlha ya gore lo ba me. Mme lotlhe ba lo itshokang go ya bokhutlong lo tlaa bolokwa.
23 'And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
“Fa lo bogisiwa mo motseng mongwe, tshabelang kwa go o mongwe! Ke tlaa boa pele ga lo tsena mo go yone yotlhe!
24 'A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
Morutwana ga a mogolo go feta moruti wa gagwe. Motlhanka ga a mogolo go mong wa gagwe.
25 sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?
Morutwana o tshwanetse go gata mo dikgatong tsa yo o mo rutang, motlhanka a latele mong wa gagwe. Mme fa ba reile nna mong wa ntlo lona jaanong go tlaa nna jang!
26 'Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
“Mme lo se ka lwa boifa ba ba lo bopelang. Gonne nako e e tla e boammaaruri bo tlaa senolwang ka yone: merero ya bone ya sephiri e tlaa itsiwe ke batho botlhe.
27 that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
Se ke se lo bolelelang mo lefifing jaanong jaana, se phatlalatseng kgakala fa bosigo bo o sa! Se ke se sebelang mo ditsebeng tsa lona, se phatlalatseng lo le mo ditlhoeng tsa matlo!
28 'And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
“Se boifeng ba ba ka bolayang mebele ya lona fela; mme ba ka seka ba ama mewa ya lona! Boifang Modimo fela o o nonofileng go ka nyeletsa mowa le mmele mo moleting. (Geenna g1067)
29 'Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
Ga go thaga (kana di ja bokae? A di ja thebe di le pedi?) e e welang fa fatshe Rraeno wa Legodimo a sa itse.
30 and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
Mme le e leng meriri ya ditlhogo tsa lona tota e badilwe yotlhe.
31 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
Ke gone se tshwenyegeng! Lona lo botlhokwa thata mo Modimong go feta dithaga tse dintsi.
32 'Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
“Fa mongwe fela a mpolela mo mpepeneneng e le tsala yame ke tlaa mmolela ele tsala yame fa pele ga ga Rre yo o kwa legodimong.
33 and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
Mme fa mongwe a intatola mo mpepeneneng, ke tlaa mo itatola mo mpepeneneng fa pele ga ga Rre yo o kwa Legodimong.
34 'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
“Se gopoleng gore ke tletse go lere kagiso mo lefatsheng! Nnyaa fa e se chaka.
35 for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
Ke tletse go lotlhanya motho le rraagwe, mosetsana le mmaagwe, ngwetsi le matsalaa yone.
36 and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
“Bana ba motho ba ba maswe go fetisa selekanyo ba tlaa bo ba le mo ntlung ya gagwe tota.
37 'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
Fa o rata rrago le mmago go gaisa jaaka o nthata, ga o a tshwanela go nna wa me; kgotsa fa o rata morwao kgotsa morwadio go mpheta, ga o a tshwanela go nna wa me.
38 and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Fa o gana go itshikarela mokgoro o ntshala morago, ga o a tshwanela go nna wa me.
39 'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
Fa o ngaparela botshelo jwa gago, bo tlaa go latlhegela, mme yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo jwa gagwe ka ntlha ya me, o tlaa bo boloka.
40 'He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
“Ba ba lo tsholang ‘sentle ba tshola nna. Mme fa ba ntshola ba tshola Modimo oo nthomileng’.
41 he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward,
Fa lo tshola moporofiti ka ntlha ya gore ke monna wa Modimo, lo tlaa newa tuelo e moporofiti o e bonang. Mme fa lo amogela batho ba ba siameng, ba ba boifang Modimo ka ntlha ya boModimo jwa bone, lo tlaa newa tuelo e e tshwanang le ya bone.
42 and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
Mme fa lo siela ngwanyana kopi ya metse a a tsididi lo le baemedi ba me, ruri lo tlaa duelwa.”
