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 the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
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?
And he answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?
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 perish in the same way.
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 think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwell 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 in the same way."
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.
He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and 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.’
He said to the vine dresser, 'Look, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
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.
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9 Fa re ka bona difeige ngwaga e e tlang go siame, mme fa go sa nne jalo ke tlaa se rema.’”
And if it bears fruit next time, [fine]; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
10 Mme ka Sabata mongwe ya re a ruta mo senagogeng,
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
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.
And look, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Mme Jesu a mmitsa a re, “Mosadi o fodisitswe mo bolwetseng jwa gago!”
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
13 A mo ama mme a akofa a inamologa. Hong mosadi a leboga a ba a galaletsa Modimo!
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified 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!”
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days when work should be done Therefore come on those days and be healed, and 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.
Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites. Does not each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away 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?”
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, look, eighteen years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"
17 Mo ga tlhabisa baba ba gagwe ditlhong. Mme batho botlhe ba itumelela tiro e ntle e o e dirileng.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
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?
Then he said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? And to what can 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 mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the sky lodged 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 can I compare the Kingdom of God?
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened."
22 Hong a tsamaya metse le metsana, a ruta fa a ntse a tsamaela kwa Jerusalema.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Mongwe a mmotsa a re, “A go tlaa bolokwa ba se kae fela?” Mme a mo fetola a re,
One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,
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,
"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' then he will answer and tell you, 'I do not know you or where you come from.'
26 “Mme re jele le wena ebile o rutile mo mebileng ya rona.”
Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you 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 reply, 'I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'
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,
There will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 gonne batho ba tlaa tswa ntlheng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe go tla go tsaya manno a bone.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will 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 look, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will 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!”
In that same hour some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants 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.
And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
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!
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it cannot be that a prophet 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.
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused.
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.’”
Look, your house is abandoned to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
