Luke 13
1 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.
Now there were some present at that very season who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifies.
2 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?
"Do you suppose," he answered them, "that those Galileans were worse sinners than the rest of the Galileans because they have suffered thus?
3 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?
"I tell you no; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
4 “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?
"Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than the rest of those who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Ga go a nna jalo! Mme le lona lo tlaa nyelela fa lo sa ikwatlhae.”
"I tell you no; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did."
6 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.
Then he gave them this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came to look for fruit on it, but found none.
7 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.’
So he said to the gardener. "‘See, for years I have come looking for fruit on this tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why should it actually cumber the ground?’
8 “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.
"But the gardener answered him. ‘Lord, let it alone this year also, till I have dug around it, and fertilized it.
9 Fa re ka bona difeige ngwaga e e tlang go siame, mme fa go sa nne jalo ke tlaa se rema.’”
"If after that it bears fruit, well and good; but if not you shall cut it down.’"
10 Mme ka Sabata mongwe ya re a ruta mo senagogeng,
Once he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath,
11 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.
a woman was present who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. she was bent double, and could not lift herself up at all.
12 Mme Jesu a mmitsa a re, “Mosadi o fodisitswe mo bolwetseng jwa gago!”
Jesus noticed her and called to him and said, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 A mo ama mme a akofa a inamologa. Hong mosadi a leboga a ba a galaletsa Modimo!
Then he placed his hand on her, and she instantly stood upright and began to give glory to God.
14 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!”
But the ruler of the synagogue was indignant at Jesus for healing her on the Sabbath, and said to the crowd. "There are six days of the week on which men ought to work. Therefore come during those, and get cured, but not on the Sabbath Day."
15 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.
But the Lord answered him. "Hypocrites!" he said, "does not each one of you loose his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath Day, and lead it to water,
16 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?”
"and this woman, who is the daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound these eighteen years, ought she not have been loosened from bondage, though the day be the Sabbath?"
17 Mo ga tlhabisa baba ba gagwe ditlhong. Mme batho botlhe ba itumelela tiro e ntle e o e dirileng.
As he said this, all adversaries were put to shame; and all the crowd rejoiced for the glorious things that he continually did.
18 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?
This led him to say. "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?
19 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.
"It is like a grain of mustardseed, which a man took and cast into his own garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested in its branches."
20 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.”
And again he said. "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
"It is like leaven which a took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened."
22 Hong a tsamaya metse le metsana, a ruta fa a ntse a tsamaela kwa Jerusalema.
So he went on his way through cities and villages,
23 Mongwe a mmotsa a re, “A go tlaa bolokwa ba se kae fela?” Mme a mo fetola a re,
teaching as he journeyed toward Jerusalem. And a man came behind him and said, "Lord are there but few that are saved?"
24 “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,
"Struggle to enter in by the narrow door," he answered, "for I tell you that many will try to enter and not be able,
"when once the master of the house is risen up and has shut the door. You will begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, crying, "‘Lord, open to us.’ "‘I do not know were you came from,’ he will reply.
26 “Mme re jele le wena ebile o rutile mo mebileng ya rona.”
"Then you will begin saying, ‘But we have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.’
27 “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.’
"But he will answer. "‘I tell you I do not know were you came from;
28 “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,
"‘depart from me, all of you, you evil-doers.’ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves cast out.
29 gonne batho ba tlaa tswa ntlheng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe go tla go tsaya manno a bone.
"And people shall come from the Orient and from the Occident, from the north and from the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Mme tlhokomelang se: Ba ba nyatsegang gompieno ba tlaa tlotlwa thata, ba ba tseetsweng kwa godimo gompieno ba tlaa ngotlafadiwa.”
"And lo, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."
31 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!”
That very day there came some Pharisees to him, saying, "Get out of here and go away, for Herod wishes to kill you."
32 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.
"Go, tell that fox," he answered, "‘Lo, today and tomorrow I am continuing to cast out demons and perform cures, and on the third day I finish my course.’
33 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!
"Yet I must continue my journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it would never do for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem!
34 “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.
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
35 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.’”
"Behold! Your house is left to you, desolate! I tell you that you shall never see me again until you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord,"
