Mathaio 11
1 Mme e rile fa Jesu a sena go fetsa go nee-la barutwa ba gagwe ba ba lesome le metso e le mebedi ditaelo tse, a tsamaya mo metseng e ba neng ba tshwanetse go rera mo go yone.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Johane wa Mokolobetsi yo o neng jaanong a le mo kgolegelong, a utlwa kaga dikgakgamatso tsotlhe tse Mesia o neng a di dira, jalo a roma barutwa ba gagwe go botsa Jesu gore,
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 “A o ene tota yo re mo lebeletseng, kgotsa re nne re lebeletse?”
And said to him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesu a ba raya a re, “Boelang kwa go Johane lo mmolelele kaga dikgakgamatso tse lo mponyeng ke di dira
Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see:
5 difofu tse ke di foufolotseng, le digole tse jaanong di tsamayang kwa ntle ga thuso le balepero ba ba fodisitsweng, le bosusu ba ba utlwang, le baswi ba ba rudisitsweng; lo bo lo mmolelele gore ke rerela bahumanegi mafoko a a molemo.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Jaanong lo bo lo mo neela molaetsa o, ‘Go sego ba ba sa mpelaeleng.’”
And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in me.
7 Erile barutwa ba ga Johane ba sena go tsamaya, Jesu a simolola go bua le bontsintsi jwa batho ka ga gagwe a re, “Erile lo tswela mo sekakeng se se senang sepe go bona Johane, lo no lo solofetse gore lo tlaa mmona a ntse jang? A tshwana le tlhaga e e fokang mo phefong?
And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 Kgotsa a lo no lo solofetse go bona monna yo o apereng jaaka kgosana mo maphatsipatsing a bogosi?
But what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
9 Kgotsa moporofiti wa Modimo? Ee, mme o mogolo go na le moporofiti fela.
But what went you out for to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Gonne Johane ke ene yo o umakilweng mo dikwalong; morongwa yo o neng a tshwanetse go tla pele game, go anamisa go tla game, le go baakanya batho go nkamogela.
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
11 Ammaaruri, mo go botlhe ba ba kileng ba tsalwa, ga go na yo o galalelang thata go gaisa Johane wa Mokolobetsi. Mme le fa go ntse jalo, le masedi a mabotlana mo Bogosing jwa legodimo a tlaa nna a magolo go na nae!
Truly I say to you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 “Mme go simolola nako e Johane wa Mokolobetsi o neng a simolola go rera ka yone a kolobetsa go fitlhelela jaanong jaana, matshwititshwiti a a matlhagatlhaga a ntse a kgobokanela Bogosi jwa Legodimo,
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Gonne melao yotlhe le baporofiti ba ne ba solofetse Mesia. Mme Johane a bonala,
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 mme fa lo batla go tlhaloganya se ke se rayang, ke Elija; ene yo baporofiti ba rileng o tlaa tla ka nako e Bogosi bo simololang ka yone.
And if you will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 “Fa e le gore lo kile lwa rata go reetsa, reetsang jaanong.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Ke tlaa reng ka ga chaba e? Batho ba, ba tshwana le bana ba tshameka, ba ba rayang balekane ba bone ba re,
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,
17 ‘Re tshamekile lenyalo mme lwa seka lwa itumela, ra tshameka phitlho mme lwa seka lwa utlwa botlhoko’.
And saying, We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented.
18 Gonne Johane wa Mokolobetsi ga a nwe le fa e le mofine, gape o itima dijo gantsi, mme lwa re, ‘O a tsenwa’.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
19 Mme nna, Morwa Motho, ke a ja e bile ke a nwa, mme lo ngongoregela gore ke ‘sejabobe, ke senwi, e bile ke dirisanya le mofuta o o maswe wa baleofi!’ Mme batho ba ba botlhale jaaka lona ba ka bona seipato mo go sengwe le sengwe se ba se dirang!”
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Mme a simolola go kgoba metse e a neng a dirile bogolo jwa dikgakgamatso dingwe tsa gagwe mo go yone ka gore e ne e sa boela mo Modimong.
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 A re, “A bo go latlhega wena Korasina, a bo go latlhega wena Bethesaida! Gonne fa dikgakgamatso tse ke di dirileng mo mebileng ya lona di ne di dirilwe mo Ture le Sidona ba ba kgopo, batho ba teng ba ka bo ba sa bolo go sokologa ka ditlhong le boingotlo.
Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 “Ammaaruri Ture le Sidona ba tlaa bo ba le botoka go na le lona ka Letsatsi la Katlholo!
But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 Mme Kaperanama, lefa a tlotlwa thata, o tlaa fologela mo diheleng! Gonne fa dikgakgamatso tse dintle tse di dirilweng mo go wena di ka bo di dirilwe mo Sodoma, o ka bo a sa ntse a le teng le gompieno. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ammaaruri, Sodoma, o tlaa bo a le botoka go na le wena ka Letsatsi la Katlholo.”
But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 Mme Jesu a rapela thapelo e, “Rara, Morena wa legodimo le lefatshe, ke lebogela gore o fitlhetse ba ba ikgopolang ba le botlhale boammaaruri, mme wa bo senolela banyana!
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.
26 Ee, Rara, gonne go go kgatlhile go go dira ka tsela e!”
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 “Boammaaruri jotlhe ke bo neetswe ke Rre. Rara fela ke ene a itseng Morwa, le Rara o itsiwe ke Morwa fela le ba Morwa o ba mo senolelang.
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Tlang kwano go nna mme ke tla lo lapolosa, lotlhe ba lo dirang thata ka fa tlase ga jokwe e e bokete.
Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Sikarang jokwe ya me, gonne e lo lekana sentle mmang ke lo rute; gonne ke bonolo le boingotlo, jalo lo tlaa bonela mewa ya lona tapologo, gonne ke lo naya merwalo e e motlhofo fela.”
Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
