Luke 10
1 Hong Morena a tlhopha barutwa ba le masome a supa mme a ba roma ka bobedi ka bobedi mo metseng le metsana e o neng a laotse go e etela.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his Messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 Mme ditaelo tse a neng a di ba naya ke tse: “Rapelang Morena wa thobo gore a romele badiri ba bangwe go tla go lo thusa.
“The harvest,” he said, “is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the Owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
3 Tsamayang jaanong, mme lo gakologelwe gore ke lo roma jaaka dikonyana mo gare ga diphiri.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my Messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Lo se ka lwa tsaya madi, kgotsa kgetsana, kgotsa le fa e le dilwana tse dingwe le gone lo se ka lwa senya nako mo tseleng.
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet any one on your journey.
5 “Mme e ne e re fa lo tsena mo lolwapeng, lo lo segofatsa.
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Fa lo tshwanelwa ke tshegofatso, tshegofatso e tlaa nna mo go lone; fa e sa lo tshwanele; tshegofatso e tlaa boela mo go lona.
Then, if any one there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest upon him; but if not, it will come back upon yourselves.
7 “Mme e re fa lo tsena mo motseng,
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth his wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Fa lo amogelesega mo motseng lo se ka lwa tlhatlologanya malwapa, lo nne mo lefelong le le lengwe, lo o ja lo o nwa se lo tlaa bong lo se newa kwa ntle ga potso epe. Mme lo se ka lwa etsaetsega ka go amogelesega mo motseng, fa lo amogelesega mo motsing, lo latele ditaolo tse pedi tse: jang sengwe le sengwe se lo se fiwang. Fodisang balwetse; mme e re fa lo ba fodisa lo ba reyeng lo re ‘Bogosi jwa Modimo bo gaufi le lona thata gompieno.’
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
cure the sick there, and tell people ‘The Kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 “Mme fa batho ba motse ba lo gana, tsamayang le mebila ya one lo re,
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 ‘Re tlhotlhora lorole lwa motse wa lona mo dinaong tsa rona elekanamiso ya lona mo pontsheng. Lo se lebale gore lo ne lo le gaufi jang le Bogosi jwa Modimo!’
‘We wipe off the very dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the Kingdom of God is close at Hand.’
12 “Le Sodoma tota yo o bosula o tlaa nna botoka go na le motse oo ka letsatsi la katlholo.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on ‘That Day’ than the doom of that town.
13 A bo go latlhega lona, metse ya Korasina le Bethesaida! Gonne fa dikgakgamatso tse ke di lo diretseng di ka bo di dirilwe mo metseng ya Ture le Sidona, batho ba yone ba ka bo ba sa bolo go sokologa bogologolo, ba apere letsela la kgetse ba bile ba latlhetse melora mo ditlhogong tsa bone go supa kutlobotlhoko ya dipelo tsa bone.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the Miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Ee, Ture le Sidona ba tlaa reng kaga lona? A lo tlaa golelediwa kwa legodimong? Nnyaa, lo tlaa folosediwa kwa moleteng.”
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the Judgment than yours.
15 Mme lona batho ba Kaperenama, ke tla reng kaga lona? A lo tla galalediwa kwa legodimong? Nnyaa, lo tla folosediwa kwa moleteng. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you ‘exalt yourself to heaven’? ‘You shall go down to the Place of Death.’ (Hadēs g86)
16 Mme a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Ba ba lo amogelang ba amogela nna. Mme ba ba lo ganang ba gana nna. Le ba ba nkganang ba gana Modimo o o nthomileng.”
He who listens to you is listening to me, and he who rejects you is rejecting me; while he who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his Messenger.”
17 Mme e rile barutwa ba gagwe ba ba masome a supa ba boa, ba mmolelela ka boitumelo ba re, “Le mewa e e maswe tota e a re utlwa fa re dirisa leina la gago.”
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully: “Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.”
18 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Ee, ke bone Satane a wa kwa legodimong jaaka logadima!
And Jesus replied: “I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Mme ke lo neetse taolo mo nonofong yotlhe ya Mmaba le go tsamaya mo gare ga dinoga le diphepheng le go di gataka. Mme ga go na sepe se se tlaa lo utlwisang botlhoko!
Remember, I have given you the power to ‘trample upon serpents and scorpions,’ and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing shall ever harm you in any way.
20 Le fa go ntse jalo, selo sa botlhokwa ga se go re mewa e e maswe e a lo utlwa, mme e bo e le gore maina a lona a kwadilwe jaaka baagedi ba legodimo.”
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in Heaven.”
21 Mme a tlala boitumelo jwa Mowa O O Boitshepo a re, “Ke a go baka, Rara Morena wa legodimo le lefatshe, ka go fitlhela ba ba nang le ditlhaloganyo le botlhale, dilo tse, mme wa di senolela ba ba ikanyegang jaaka bana. Ee, ke a leboga, gonne ke ka fa o batlileng ka teng.
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: “I thank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that, though thou hast hidden these things from the wise and learned, thou hast revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank thee that this has seemed good to thee.
22 Ke moemedi wa ga Rre mo dilong tsotlhe; mme ga go ope tota yo o itseng Morwa fa e se Rara, le gone ga go ope yo o itseng Rara fa e se Morwa le ba Morwa o ba tlhophang go mo senola.”
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.”
23 Mme Jesu a retologela kwa barutweng ba gagwe ba ba lesome le bobedi a ba sebetsa a re, “Lo lesego jang go bona dilo tse lo di boneng.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Baporofiti ba le bantsi le dikgosi tsa bogologolo ba ne ba eletsa malatsi ano, go bona le go utlwa se lo se boneng le se lo se utlwileng!”
for, I tell you, many Prophets and Kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.”
25 Ka letsatsi lengwe moitseanape wa melao ya ga Moshe a tla go leka tumelo ya ga Jesu ka go mmotsa potso e: “Moruti, motho o tshwanelwa ke go dira eng gore a nnele ruri mo legodimong?” (aiōnios g166)
Just then a Student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do if I am to ‘gain Immortal Life’?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Mme Jesu a fetola a re, “Molao wa ga Moshe wa reng ka ga gone?”
“What is said in the Law?” answered Jesus. “What do you read there?”
27 Mme moitseanape a fetola a re, wa re, “O tshwanetse go rata Morena Modimo wa gago ka pelo yotlhe ya gago, le ka mowa otlhe wa gago, le ka nonofo yotlhe ya gago, le ka mogopolo otlhe wa gago. Le gore o tshwanetse go rata mong ka wena fela jaaka o ithata.”
His reply was — “‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thou dost thyself.’”
28 Jesu a mo raya a re, “Go siame, dira sone se mme o tlaa tshela!”
“You have answered right,” said Jesus; “do that, and you shall live.”
29 Monna a batla go siamisa (go tlhaela ga lorato lwa gagwe mo bathung bangwe) jalo a botsa a re, “Bangwe ka nna ba fe?”
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?”
30 Jesu a mo fetola ka setshwantsho: a re, “Mojuta mongwe o kile ya re a etile go tswa Jerusalema go ya Jeriko a tlhaselwa ke dinokwane. Tsa mo tseela diaparo le madi tsa ba tsa mo keteka mme tsa mo tlogela a namaletse foo.
To which Jesus replied: “A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 Ka tshoganetso Moperesiti wa Mojuta a feta ka tsela eo, mme ya re a mmona a mo feta fela.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Fela jalo le Molefi ya re a fitlha felong foo, mme a mmona a mo feta fela.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 “Mme ga tla Mosamaria yo o nyatsegileng, e rile a mmona, a tlhomoga pelo thata.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 A obama ka mangole fa go ene a tlotsa dintho tsa gagwe molemo a ba a di fapa. Mme a pega monna mo tonking a tsamaya fa thoko ga gagwe go fitlhelela ba tsena hoteleng, kwa o neng a mo oka bosigo jotlhe teng.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Ka letsatsi le le latelang a naya motlhokomedi wa hotele dipula di le masome a mane a mo laela gore a tlhokomele monna yoo a mo raya a re, ‘Fa ditshenyegelo tsa gago di feta foo; ke tlaa go duela a a setseng fa ke boa.’
The next day he took out four shillings and gave them to the inn-keeper. ‘Take care of him,’ he said, ‘and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.’
36 “Jaanong ke ofe mo go ba bararo ba yo wena o ka reng e ne e le mongwe ka yo o bolailweng ke dinokwane?”
Now which, do you think, of these three men,” asked Jesus, “proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
37 Monna a fetola a re, “Ke yo o mo tlhomoge-tseng pelo.” Mme Jesu are, “Ee, jaanong tsamaya o dire fela jalo.”
“The one that took pity on him,” was the answer; on which Jesus said: “Go and do the same yourself.”
38 Ya re Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe ba tsweletse mo loetong lwa bone go ya Jerusalema ba tsena mo motsaneng mongwe kwa mosadi yo o neng a bidiwa Maratha o neng a ba amogela mo lwapeng lwa gagwe.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Monnawe Marea a nna fa fatshe, a reeditse Jesu fa a bua.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Mme Morena a mo raya a re, Maratha, tsala ee rategang, o ngongorega thata mo dilong tse tsotlhe.
but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said: “Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.”
41 Mme Maratha e ne e le motho yo o matlhagatlhaga, mme a bo a ngongorega fa a ntse a baakanya dijo. Hong a tla kwa go Jesu a re, “Morena, a ga o bone gore ga go a siama gore ke dire tiro yotlhe nnake ene a ntse fela fa fatshe.
“Martha, Martha,” replied the Master, “you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 Go na le selo se le sengwe fela se o tshwanetseng go amega mo go sone, Marea o se bone, mme ga nke ke se tsaya mo go ene!”
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
