Luke 13
1 It was around this time that some people told Jesus about Pilate's killing of some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices in the Temple.
Mme ya re ka lone lobaka lo a itsisiwe fa Pilatwe a bolaile Bajuta bangwe ba ba neng ba tswa kwa Galalea fa ba ntsha ditlhabelo kwa Tempeleng mo Jerusalema.
2 “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than any other Galileans because they suffered like this?” Jesus asked.
Mme a ba botsa a re, “A lo akanya gore e ne e le baleofi ba bagolo go feta batho botlhe ba ba tswang Galalea? A ke gone ka fa ba sotlegileng ka gone?
3 “No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.
Ga go a nna jalo! A ga lo lemoge gore le lona lo tlaa nyelela fa lo sa tlogele ditsela tsa lona tse di bosula lwa sokologela mo Modimong?
4 What about those eighteen people that were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were the worst people in the whole of Jerusalem?
“Mme lwa reng kaga batho ba ba lesome le bofera-bobedi ba ba neng ba a swa fa kago e e godileng ya Siloama e ba wela. A e ne e le baleofi ba bagolo mo Jerusalema?
5 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as well.”
Ga go a nna jalo! Mme le lona lo tlaa nyelela fa lo sa ikwatlhae.”
6 Then he told them this story as an illustration. “Once there was man who had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came to look for fruit on the tree, but he didn't find any.
Hong a dirisa setshwantsho se: “Monna mongwe o kile a tlhoma setlhare sa mofeige mo tshimong mme a tla gangwe le gape go tlhola gore a ga a ka ke a bona loungo lope mo go sone, mme o ne a aga a sa fitlhele sepe.
7 So he told the gardener, ‘Look, for three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and I haven't found any. Chop it down! Why should it be taking up space?’
Mme ya re kwa bofelong a raya motlhokomedi wa tshimo ya gagwe a re a se reme. A mo raya a re, ‘Ke letile dingwaga di le tharo ga go ise nke go nne le fa e le feige e le nngwe! Ke eng fa o se ngongoregela? se tsere phatlha e re ka bong re e dirisetsa sengwe gape.’
8 ‘Master,’ the man replied, ‘please leave it alone for just one more year. I'll dig the soil around it and put down some fertilizer.
“Mme motlhokomedi wa tshimo a araba a re, ‘Se neye lobaka lo longwe gape. Se lese ngwaga e le nngwe, ke tlaa se tlhokomela ka go se tshela monontshane.
9 If it produces fruit, then that's fine. If not, then chop it down.’”
Fa re ka bona difeige ngwaga e e tlang go siame, mme fa go sa nne jalo ke tlaa se rema.’”
10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
Mme ka Sabata mongwe ya re a ruta mo senagogeng,
11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand straight.
ga bo go na le sekoa sa mosadi yo o neng a obegile selekanyo sa dingwaga di le lesome le boferabobedi mme a sa kgone go itlhamalatsa.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and told her, “You're freed of your sickness.”
Mme Jesu a mmitsa a re, “Mosadi o fodisitswe mo bolwetseng jwa gago!”
13 Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up, and she praised God.
A mo ama mme a akofa a inamologa. Hong mosadi a leboga a ba a galaletsa Modimo!
14 However, the synagogue leader was upset that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd, “There are six days for work. Come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
Mme motlhokomedi wa ntlo ya thuto ya Sejuta a gakala thata ka gonne Jesu o ne a fodisitse mosadi yoo ka letsatsi la Sabata. A goa a raya batho a re, “Go na le malatsi a le marataro mo bekeng a go dirwang ka one, ao ke one malatsi a go ka fodisiwang ka one eseng go le Sabata!”
15 But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn't every one of you untie your ox or donkey from the stall and take it to drink?
Mme Morena a mo fetola a re, “Moitimokanyi ke wena! O dira go le Sabata! A ga o ko o golola dikgomo tsa gago mo marakeng a tsone go le Sabata o di kgweeletsa kwa metsing.
16 Why shouldn't this woman, this daughter of Abraham whom Satan has kept tied up for eighteen years, be untied and set free this Sabbath day?”
Jaanong a go phoso mo go nna, fela ka ntlha ya gore e re ka letsatsi la Sabata ke golole mosadi yo wa Mojuta mo bokgobeng jwa ga Satane selekanyo sa dingwaga di le lesome le boferabobedi?”
17 What he said shamed all his opponents, but everyone in the crowd was delighted by all the wonderful things he was doing.
Mo ga tlhabisa baba ba gagwe ditlhong. Mme batho botlhe ba itumelela tiro e ntle e o e dirileng.
18 Then Jesus asked, “So what is the kingdom of God like? What should I compare it to?
Jaanong a simolola go ba ruta kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo; A ba botsa a re, “Bogosi jwa Modimo bo ka tshwantshiwa le eng? Ke ka bo tshwantsha le eng?
19 It's like a mustard seed that a man planted in his garden. It grew into a tree, and the birds came and nested in its branches.”
Bo tshwana le peo e nnye ya mosetara e e jetsweng mo tshimong; ya akofa ya gola ya tswa setlhare, mme dinonyane tsa nna mo gare ga dikala tsa sone.
20 He asked again, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?
Bo tshwana le sebediso se se dubetsweng mo boupeng, se se dirang se sa bonwe go fitlhelela boupe bo gogomoga bo bo bo nna motlhofo.”
21 It's like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour which made the whole batch rise.”
22 Jesus went around the towns and villages, teaching on his way to Jerusalem.
Hong a tsamaya metse le metsana, a ruta fa a ntse a tsamaela kwa Jerusalema.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus replied,
Mongwe a mmotsa a re, “A go tlaa bolokwa ba se kae fela?” Mme a mo fetola a re,
24 “Try very hard to enter the narrow doorway, because I tell you that many will try to go in, and won't succeed.
“Kgoro e e yang legodimong e tshesane. Lekang thata go tsena mo go yone, gonne boammaaruri ke gore ba le bantsi ba tlaa leka go tsena mme fa mong wa ntlo a setse a tswetse kgoro, nako e tlaa bo e setse e fetile. Mme e tlaa re fa lo eme kwa ntle lo kokota lo re, ‘Morena re bulele,’ o tlaa fetola a re, ‘Ga ke lo itse’. Hong lo tlaa re,
25 Once the house owner gets up and closes the door, you'll be standing outside knocking on the door, saying, ‘Master, please open the door for us.’ But he'll reply, ‘I don't know you or where you're from.’
26 Then you'll say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets!’
“Mme re jele le wena ebile o rutile mo mebileng ya rona.”
27 He'll reply, ‘I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all of you who don't do what's good!’
“Mme o tlaa fetola a re, ‘Ke a lo bolelela, ga ke lo itse. Ga lo ka ke lwa tla fa lo le molato jaana. Tsamayang.’
28 There will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you are thrown out.
“Mme go tlaa nna selelo le khuranyo ya meno fa lo eme kwa ntle lo bona Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe le baporofiti botlhe mo Bogosing jwa Modimo,
29 People will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, and they will sit down to eat in the kingdom of God.
gonne batho ba tlaa tswa ntlheng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe go tla go tsaya manno a bone.
30 For the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
Mme tlhokomelang se: Ba ba nyatsegang gompieno ba tlaa tlotlwa thata, ba ba tseetsweng kwa godimo gompieno ba tlaa ngotlafadiwa.”
31 At that moment some Pharisees came to Jesus and told him, “You should leave here. Herod wants to kill you!”
Mme ya re morago ga metsotso e se kae Bafarasai bangwe ba mo raya ba re, “Tloga fano fa o batla go tshela, gonne Kgosi Herode o go tsomile!”
32 Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will go on driving out demons and healing people for today and tomorrow, and on the third day I'll achieve what I came to do.
Jesu a ba fetola a re, “Tsamayang lo reye phokoje yoo lo re ke tlaa tswelela ke ntshetsa mewa e e maswe ntle, ke dira dikgakgamatso tsa phodiso gompieno le ka moso; mme ka letsatsi la boraro ke tlaa fitlha kwa ke yang teng.
33 Well anyway I must continue on my way for today and tomorrow, and the day after. For it wouldn't be right for a prophet to die outside of Jerusalem!
Ee, gompieno, ka moso le ka letsatsi le le latelang! Gonne ga go ka ke ga direga gore moporofiti wa Modimo a bolawe ka kwa ntle ga Jerusalema!
34 Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather all your children together just like a hen does with her chicks under her wings, but you refused!
“Jerusalema wee! Jerusalema! Motse o o bolayang baporofiti. Motse o o kgobotletsang ka maje ba ba rometsweng go o thusa. Ke ratile gantsi jang go phutha bana ba gago jaaka koko e e sireletsang dikokwana tsa yone ka fa diphukeng, mme ga o aka wa ntetla.
35 Look, your house is left desolate, and I tell you that you won't see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Mme jaanong, ntlo ya gago e tlogetswe e le letlotla. Ga o kitla o mpona gape go fitlhelela o re, ‘A go bakwa yo o tlang mo leineng la Morena.’”
