Mathaio 22
1 Jesu a bolela dipolelo tse dingwe tse dintsi go supa gore Bogosi jwa Legodimo bo tshwana le eng. Sekai, bo ka tshwantshiwa ka polelo ya Kgosi e e kileng ya baakanyetsa morwaa yone mokete o mogolo wa lenyalo.
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 Baeng ba le bantsi ba lalediwa, mme e rile fa dijo di setse di siame a roma batho go itsise mongwe le mongwe gore ke nako ya gore ba tle. Mme batho ba ba laleditsweng ba gana!
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Jalo a roma batlhanka ba bangwe go ba bolelela gore, “Sengwe le sengwe se siame le dinama tse di besiwang di setse di le mo isong. Itlhaganeleng!”
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatted calves are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.
5 Mme baeng ba a neng a ba laleditse ba tshega fela ba tswelela pele le ditiro tsa bone, mongwe kwa morakeng wa gagwe yo mongwe kwa madirelong a gagwe;
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 ba bangwe ba itaya batlhanka ba gagwe ba ba tshwara setlhogo mo go tlhabisang ditlhong, ba bo ba bolaya bangwe ba bone.
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 Hong Kgosi e e galefileng ya bolotsa ntwa ya yone ya bolaya babolai ya tshuba motse wa bone.
But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Mme ya raya batlhanka ba yone ya re, “Modiro wa lenyalo o siame, mme baeng ba ke ba laleditseng ga ba a tshwanelwa ke tlotlo.
Then says he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Jaanong tsamayang mo mebileng ya motse lo laletse mongwe le mongwe yo lo mmonang.”
Go you therefore into the highways, and as many as you shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 Mme batlhanka ba dira fela jalo, ba lere batho botlhe, basiami le baleofi ka go tshwana; mme ntlo ya tlala balalediwa.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 Mme e rile fa Kgosi e tla go rakana le balalediwa, ya bona monna yo a neng a sa apara seaparo sa lenyalo (se a neng a se neetswe).
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 Kgosi ya botsa ya re, “Tsala, go diragetse jang gore o bo o le fano o sena seaparo sa lenyalo?” Mme monna a tlhoka karabo.
And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Hong Kgosi ya raya bathusi ba yone ya re, “Mo golegeng mabogo le maoto lo mo latlhele kwa ntle mo lefifing kwa go nang le selelo le khuranyo ya meno gone.”
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Gonne ba le bantsi ba biditswe, mme ba se kae ba itshenketswe!
For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Bafarasai ba kopana go leka go akanya tsela e ba ka mo tshwarang mo puong ka yone.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 Ba ikaelela go roma bangwe ba banna ba bone le Baheroda go mmotsa potso e: “Rra, re itse gore o ikanyega thata le gore o ruta boammaaruri kwa ntleng ga go tlhokomela tse di ka go diragalelang, e bile o sa boife bomang-mang jwa ga ope.
And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, neither care you for any man: for you regard not the person of men.
17 Jaanong re bolelele, a go siame go ntshetsa mmuso wa Roma lekgetho kgotsa nnyaa?”
Tell us therefore, What think you? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Mme Jesu a bona se ba neng ba se ikaeletse. A re, “Baitimokanyi ke lona! Lo leka go tsietsa mang ka dipotso tsa lona tsa bolotsana?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt you me, you hypocrites?
19 Ntshupegetsang ledi,” Mme ba le mo naya.
Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a penny.
20 A ba botsa a re, “Le tshwantshitswe mang? Gape leina le le ka fa tlase ga setshwantsho se ke la ga mang”?
And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 Ba mo fetola ba re, “la ga Kaisara.” Mme a ba raya a re, “Go siame le neyeng Kaisara fa e le la gagwe, mme lo neele Modimo sengwe le sengwe se e leng sa one.”
They say to him, Caesar’s. Then says he to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.
22 Mme phetolo ya gagwe e ne ya ba gakgamatsa ya ba ya ba palela ba mo tlogela ba tsamaya.
When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
23 Mme ka letsatsi leo bangwe ba Basadukai, ba ba reng ga go na tsogo ya baswi morago ga loso, ba tla kwa go ene mme ba mmotsa ba re
The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 “Morena, Moshe o rile fa motho a a swa a sena bana, monnawe a nyale motlholagadi yoo, mme bana ba bone ba tlaa ja boswa.
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
25 Go kile ga bo go na le monna mongwe mo motseng wa rona a na le bana ba basimane ba supa. Mme wa ntlha a nyala mme a swa a sena bana, jalo motlholagadi wa gagwe a nna mosadi wa ga monnawe yo o mo tlhomaganelang.
Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife to his brother:
26 Mme le ene monnawe yo, a swa a sena bana, mme mosadi a nyalwa ke monnawe yo mongwe. Ga direga fela jalo go fitlhelela a nna mosadi wa mongwe le mongwe wa bone ka bosupa!
Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Mme mosadi le ene a swa.
And last of all the woman died also.
28 Jalo o tlaa nna mosadi wa ga mang mo tsogong ya baswi? Gonne e ne e le mosadi wa bone ka bosupa.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Mme Jesu a re, “Phoso ya lona e dirwa ke bosenakitso jwa lona jwa go tlhoka go itse dikwalo le nonofo ya Modimo.
Jesus answered and said to them, You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Gonne mo tsogong ya baswi ga go na lenyalo; mongwe le mongwe o tshwana le baengele mo legodimong.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Mme jaanong, fa e le gore go na le tsogo ya baswi, a ga lo ke lo bala dikwalo? A ga lo lemoge gore Modimo o ne o bua le lona fa o re,
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 ‘Ke Modimo wa ga Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe!’ Jalo Modimo ga se Modimo wa baswi, mme ke wa batshedi.”
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa itumedisiwa thata ke dikarabo tsa gagwe.
And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 Mme e seng Bafarasai! E rile ba utlwa gore o didimaditse Basadukai ka phetolo ya gagwe, ba akanya sesha potso e bone ba ka e mmotsang. Mongwe wa bone yo e neng e le mmueledi (Agente), a bua a re:
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 “Morena, taolo ya botlhokwa mo melaong ya ga Moshe ke efe?”
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesu a fetola a re, “‘Rata Morena Modimo wa gago ka pelo yotlhe ya gago, ka mowa le tlhaloganyo.’
Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 E ke taolo ya ntlha ebile e le e kgolo. Ya bobedi ya botlhokwa thata e e tshwanang le yone ke e e reng: ‘Rata mongwe ka wena jaaka o ithata.’
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 Ditaolo tse dingwe tsotlhe le se se batlwang ke baporofiti di tswa mo melaong e mebedi e, mme e diragadiwa fa e tshegediwa. Tshegetsa yone e mebedi e fela, mme o tlaa bona gore o tshegeditse e mengwe yotlhe.”
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 Mme ya re a farafarilwe ke Bafarasai, a ba botsa potso a re:
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 “Lo gopolang ka ga Mesia? Ke Morwa mang?” Ba araba ba re “Ke Morwa Dafide.”
Saying, What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The son of David.
43 Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “Mme ke eng fa Dafide, a bua ka tlhotlheletso ya Mowa o o Boitshepo, a mmitsa a re ‘Morena’ Ka gore Dafide o rile,
He says to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ‘Modimo o reile Morena wa me wa re, nna ka fa letsogong la me le legolo go fitlhelela ke baya baba ba gago ka fa tlase ga dinao tsa gago!’
The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool?
45 Mme fa Dafide a mmitsa ‘Morena’, e ka nna morwawe jang?”
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Ba tlhoka karabo. Mme morago ga moo ba tshaba go tlhola ba mmotsa dipotso tse dingwe.
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
