Matthew 8
1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa sala Jesu mora-go fa a fologa mo mhapheng wa lentswe.
2 He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
Mme bonang! Molepero a atamela. A-khubama fa pele ga gagwe a obama a mo rapela a re, “Rra, fa o rata o ka mphodisa.”
3 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
Mme Jesu a mo tshwara a mo raya a re “Ke a rata, fola.” Mme gone fela foo lepero la nyelela.
4 and then Jesus said to him, ‘Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “O se ka wa bolelela ope; tlhamalalela kwa moperesiting go ya go tlhatlhojwa; mme o tlaa ntsha mpho e e batlwang ka molao wa ga Moshe wa balepero ba ba fodisitsweng, ebong bosupi jwa phatlhalatsa jwa gore o fodisitswe.”
5 After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
Erile Jesu a goroga mo Kaperanama, mogolwane wa sesole sa Roma a tla kwa go ene mme a mo rapela go ya kwa lwapeng lwa gagwe go fodisa motlhanka wa gagwe wa mosimane yo o neng a le mo bolaong a bolawa ke bolwetse jwa teteselo a tlhoafaditswe ke setlhabi.
6 ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.’
7 ‘I will come and cure him,’ answered Jesus.
Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Ke tlaa tla go mo fodisa.”
8 ‘Sir,’ the centurion went on, ‘I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
Mme mogolwane a re, “Rra ga ke a lekana go go tseela kwa lwapeng lwa me gape ga go tlhokafale gore o tle. Fa o ka nna fela fa mme wa re, ‘Fola’, motlhanka wa me o tlaa fola!
9 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them “Go,” he goes, and to another “Come,” he comes, and to my slave “Do this,” he does it.’
Ke a itse, ka gore ke ka fa tlase ga taolo ya baeteledipele ba me ba bagolo mme ke na le taolo mo masoleng a me, mme ke raya lengwe ke re, ‘Tsamaya’ mme le tsamaye, mme ke reye le lengwe ke re, ‘Tla’ mme le tle, mme ke reye motlhanka wa me wa mosimane ke re, ‘Dira se kgotsa sele’ mme a se dire. Mme ke itse gore o na le thata ya go raya bolwetse jwa gagwe o re bo tsamaye mme bo tlaa tsamaya.”
10 Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, ‘Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
Jesu a nna foo a akabetse! Mme a retologela kwa bontsintsing jwa batho a re, “Ga ke ise ke ke ke bone tumelo e e tshwanang le e mo Iseraele!
11 Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
Mme ke lo bolelela se, Badichaba ba le bantsi jaaka mogolwane yo wa Roma, ba tlaa tswa mo tikologong yotlhe ya lefatshe ba nna fa fatshe mo Bogosing jwa Legodimo le Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe.
12 while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
Baiseraele ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba baakanyeditswe Bogosi, ba tlaa lelekelwa mo lefifing le le kwa ntle, mo felong ga selelo le tlhokofatso”.
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go now, and it will be according to your faith.’ And the man was cured that very hour.
Hong Jesu a raya mogolwane wa Roma a re, “Tsamaya o ye lwapeng. Se o se dumetseng se diragetse!” Mme mosimane a fola ka yone nako eo.
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
Erile Jesu a goroga kwa tlung ya ga Petere, mogwagwadia Petere wa mosadi o ne a le mo bolaong a tshwere ke letshoroma.
15 On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
Mme erile fa Jesu a tshwara lebogo la gagwe, letshoroma la mo tlogela; mme a ema a ba baakanyetsa dijo.
16 In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
Mo maitseboeng ao batho ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba tsenywe ke mewa e e maswe ba leriwe kwa go Jesu; mme ya re a bua lefoko le le lengwe; mewa e e maswe yotlhe ya sia; mme botlhe ba ba neng ba lwala ba fola.
17 in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.”
Mo ga diragatsa seporofeso sa ga Isaia se se reng, “O na a tsaya malwetse a rona, a rwala dipobolo tsa rona.”
18 Seeing a crowd round him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
Fa Jesu a lemoga ka fa bontsintsi jwa batho bo neng bo gola ka teng, o na a laela barutwa ba gagwe gore ba ipaakanyetse go kgabaganyetsa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.
19 A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
Ka yone nako eo mongwe wa baruti ba tumelo ya Sejuda a mo raya a re, “Moruti, ke tlaa go sala morago, ga gore sepe gore o ya kae!”
20 ‘Foxes have holes,’ answered Jesus, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
Mme Jesu a re, “Bophokoje ba na le mesima le dinonyane di na le dintlhaga, mme nna Morwa Motho, ga ke na legae le e leng la me, ga go na fa nka latsang tlhogo gone.”
21 ‘Master,’ said another, who was a disciple, ‘let me first go and bury my father.’
Mongwe wa barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Morena, mma ke tsamaye pele ke ye go fitlha rre.”
22 But Jesus answered, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ntshala morago! Lesa ba ba suleng mo moweng ba tlhokomele baswi ba bone.”
23 Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
Mme a tsena mo mokorong a simolola go kgabaganya lecha le barutwa ba gagwe.
24 Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
Ka tshoganyetso ga tsoga setsuatsue se segolo, makhubu a goletsegile go feta mokoro. Mme Jesu o ne a robetse.
25 and the disciples came and roused him. ‘Master,’ they cried, ‘save us; we are lost!’
Barutwa ba ya kwa go ene ba feta ba mo tsosa, ba gowa ba re, “Morena, re boloke! Re a nwela!”
26 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he said. ‘You of little faith!’ Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ao batho ba tumelo e potlana! Ke eng fa lo tshogile jaana?” Hong a ema a kgalemela phefo le makhubu, mme ga nna tuulalo e kgolo.
27 The men were amazed, and exclaimed, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!’
Barutwa ba nna fela foo ba reregile! ba botsanya ba re, “Motho yo ke mang, yo le e leng diphefo tota le lewatle di mo reetsang?”
28 On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
Erile ba goroga ka fa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha mo lefatshing la Bagadara, banna ba le babedi ba ba tsenyweng ke mewa e e maswe ba mo kgatlhantsha. Ba ne ba nna mo diphupung ba le diphatsa thata mo motho ope o neng a ka se ka a ralala golo foo.
29 Suddenly they shrieked out, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?’
Mme ba simolola go goela kwa go ene ba re, “O batlang mo go rona, wena Morwa Modimo? Ga o ise o nne le tshwanelo ya go re tlhokofatsa.”
30 A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
Serapa sa dikolobe se ne se fula kgakalanyana.
31 and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’
Jalo mewa e e maswe ya kopa ya re fa o re “kgoromeletsa ntle re, lelekele mo serapeng sele sa dikolobe.”
32 ‘Go,’ he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
Jesu a e raya a re, “Go siame, tsamayang” mme ya tswa mo banneng ya tsena mo dikolobeng, mme serapa sotlhe sa kgokologa mo thoteng ka bofefo sa wela mo metsing kwa tlase.
33 At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
Mme badisa ba tsone ba sianela kwa motseng o o gaufi go ya go bolela kaga se se diragetseng.
34 At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
Mme batho botlhe ba motse ba sianela go tla go bona Jesu, ba mo kopa gore a tsamaye a ba tlogele ba le bosi.
