Luke 17
1 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Jesu raya barutwa ba gagwe a re, “Go tlaa aga go le dithaelo tsa go leofa, mme a bo go latlhega motho yo o raelang.
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 Fa a ne a latlhetswe mo lewatleng ka lentswe le legolo le fapeletswe mo molaleng wa gagwe, o ne a ka bo a le botoka thata go na le go otlhaelwa go tlhokofatsa mewa ya ba bannye ba. Ke a lo tlhagisa! Kgalemela morwa-rrago fa a leofa mme o mo itshwarele fa a ipona molato.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 Le fa a go leofela ga supa ka letsatsi mme nako nngwe le nngwe a boela go wena a kopa maitshwarelo, mo itshwarele.”
If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 Ka letsatsi lengwe Baaposetoloi ba raya Morena ba re, “Re tlhoka tumelo e kgolo; re ka e bona jang?”
The emissaries said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 Jesu a ba araba a re, “Fa tumelo ya lona e le selekanyo sa peo ya mosetara, e tlaa bo e le kgolo thata go kumula setlhare se se kwa sele sa mosikamine le go se tlhoma mo teng ga lewatle! Taolo ya lona e ne e ka diragala ka bofefo!
The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 Fa motlhanka a tswa go lema kgotsa a tswa go disa dinku, ga a nne fela fa fatshe a a ja, mme pele o baakanyetsa mong wa gagwe dijo tsa maitseboa pele ga a a ja tsa gagwe. Mme ga a lebogwe, gonne o dira se a tshwanetseng go se dira.
But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Fela jalo, fa lo nkutlwa, ga lo a tshwanela go galalediwa. Gonne lo dirile tiro ya lona!”
Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
11 E rile ba ntse ba tsweletse mo loetong lwa go ya Jerusalema, ba tsena fa molelwaneng o o fa gare ga Galalea le Samarea,
As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12 mme ya re ba tsena mo motsaneng oo, baleperwa ba le some ba bo ba emetse kwa kgakajana,
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13 ba goa ba re, “Jesu, Morena, re utlwele botlhoko!”
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 Mme a ba leba a re, “Tsamayang lo ye kwa moperesiting wa Sejuta lo mo supegetse gore lo fodisitswe!” Mme ya re ba tsamaya, boleperwa jwa bone jwa nyelela!
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
15 Mme mongwe wa bone a boela kwa go Jesu a goa a re, “A go galalediwe Modimo, ke fodisitswe!”
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 A wela fa fatshe fa pele ga dinao tsa ga Jesu, a lebile fa fatshe mo loroleng a lebogela se a se dirileng. Monna yo e ne e le Mosamarea yo o nyatsegileng.
He fell on his face at Yeshua’s feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17 Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “A ga ke a fodisa banna ba le lesome? Ba ba ferang bongwe ba kae?
Yeshua answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 A ke Modichaba yo fela yo o boileng go tla go galaletsa Modimo?”
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Ema o tsamaye tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse.”
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
20 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe Bafarasai ba botsa Jesu ba re, “Bogosi jwa Modimo bo tlaa simologa leng? Jesu a ba fetola a re, Bogosi jwa Modimo ga bo tle ka ditshupo tse di bonalang.
Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;
21 Ga lo ka ke lwa kgona gore lo re, ‘Bo simologile fano mo lefelong le kgotsa kwa ntlheng ele ya lefatshe’. Gonne Bogosi jwa Modimo bo mo go lona.”
neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
22 Mme morago a bua gape kaga selo se le barutwa ba gagwe. A ba raya a re, “Lobaka lo e tla lo lo tlaa ntlhoafalelang ka lone go nna le lona le fa e le letsatsi le le lengwe fela mme ke tlaa bo ke seyo fa.”
He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 “Dipolelo di tlaa tla mo go lona tsa gore ke boile le gore ke mo lefelong le kgotsa le; mme lo se ka lwa di dumela kgotsa lwa ya go mpatla.
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after them,
24 Gonne e tlaa re fa ke boa, lo tlaa itse kwa ntle ga pelaelo epe. Ke tlaa bo ke tshwana le logadima lo lo phatsimang go kgabaganya loapi.
for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 Mme pele ke tshwanetse go sotlega thata le go ganwa ke sechaba se sotlhe.
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “[E tlaa re fa ke boa] lefatshe le tlaa [tlhokomologa dilo tsa Modimo] jaaka batho ba lobaka lwa ga Noa.
As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 Ba ne ba a ja, ba a nwa, ba nyala, sengwe le sengwe se siame go fitlhelela letsatsi le Noa o neng a tsena mo tlung e e kokobalang ka lone mme morwalela wa tla wa senya botlhe.
They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “Mme lefatshe le tlaa nna jaaka mo metlheng ya ga Lote: Batho ba ne ba dira ditiro tsa bone tsa letsatsi le letsatsi, ba a nwa ba a ja, ba reka ba rekisa, ba tlhoma ditlhare ba aga,
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 go fitlhelela mo mosong o Lote o neng a tswa mo Sodoma. Hong molelo le sebabole tse di neng di tswa kwa legodimong tsa ba nyeletsa botlhe.
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
30 Ee, go tlaa ‘bo go berekwa’ jaaka gale go fitlhelela lobaka lwa go boa ga me.
It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.
31 “Ba ba tlaa bong ba se mo lwapeng ka letsatsi leo ba seka ba ya go phutha; ba ba mo nageng ba se ka ba boela kwa motsing.
In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
32 Gakologelwang se se neng sa diragalela mosadi wa ga Lote!
Remember Lot’s wife!
33 Le fa e le mang yo o ngaparetseng botshelo jwa gagwe bo tlaa mo latlhegela mme le fa e le mang yo o latlhegelwang ke botshelo jwa gagwe o tlaa bo boloka.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34 Mo bosigong joo banna ba le babedi ba tlaa bo ba robetse mo tlung e le nngwe mme mongwe o tlaa tsewa yo mongwe a tlogelwe.
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
35 Basadi ba le babedi ba tlaa bo ba dira botlhe mo tlung; yo mongwe o tlaa tsewa, yo mongwe o tlaa tlogelwa; mme go tlaa nna fela jalo mo banneng ba ba dirang ba bapile mo tshimong.”
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
37 Mme barutwa ba botsa ba re, “Morena, ba tlaa bo ba isiwa kae?” Jesu a fetola a re, “Kwa setoto se leng gone, manong a phuthegela gone!”
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
