Luke 19
1 Mme ya re a feta mo Jeriko, monna mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Sakaio, yo e neng e le mongwe wa batlhotlheletsi ba Sejuta mo papading ya go phutha lekgetho la Seroma (ebile e le mohumi),
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 a leka go bona Jesu mme a ba a le mokhutshwane thata go mmona mo bontsintsing jwa batho.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Mme a sianela kwa pele a palama setlhare sa mosikamore fa thoko ga tsela, a lebelela a le koo.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 E rile Jesu a feta foo a lelala Sakaio mme a mmitsa ka leina a re, “Sakaio! Itlhaganele! Fo-loga! Gonne ke ya go nna moeng mo lwapeng lwa gago gompieno!”
And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 Sakaio a itlhaganela a fologa a tseela Jesu kwa tlung ya gagwe ka boitumelo jo bogolo.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Mme bontsintsi jwa batho ba se ka ba itumela. Ba ngongorega ba re, “O ile go nna moeng wa moleofi yo o itsegeng ka mokgwa o o maswe”.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Mme ya re ka lobaka loo, Sakaio a ema fa pele ga Morena a re, “Morena, go tloga fano ke tlaa abela bahumanegi bontlha bongwe jwa dikhumo tsa me, mme fa ke bona ke patikile mongwe mo makgethong a gagwe ke tlaa ipona molato ka go mmusetsa di tsa gagwe go menagane gane!”
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
9 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Se se supa gore poloko e tsile mo lwapeng lo gompieno. Monna yo e ne e le mongwe wa bana ba ga Aberahame yo o neng a timetse, mme nna Morwa Motho, ke tsile go batla ke bo ke boloka mewa e e ntseng jaaka wa gagwe.”
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Mme ka gonne Jesu o ne a atamela Jerusalema, a bolela polelo go baakanya mogopolo o o reng Bogosi jwa Modimo bo tlaa simologa gone jaana.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
12 A re, “Mogolwane mongwe yo o neng a nna mo lefatsheng lengwe kwa motseng mogolo o o kgakala wa bogosi, o ne a bilediwa go ya go tlhongwa kgosi ya lefatshe la gagwe.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Pele ga a tsamaya o ne a phutha bathusi ba le some a naya mongwe le mongwe wa bone dikete tse pedi tsa dipula, go sala ba di atisa fa a setse a tsamaile.
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Mme bangwe ba batho ba gagwe ba ne ba mo ila ba bo ba mo romelela polelo ya gore ba batla boipuso, ba bolela gore ba mo tsogologetse ga ba kitla ba mo amogela go nna kgosi ya bone.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 “Ya re fa a boa a bitsa batho ba o neng a ba neetse madi, go bona gore ba dirileng ka one, le gore ba boetswe ke bokae.
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 “Monna wa ntlha a bega papadi e kgolo, e menaganye ga some go feta tlhwatlhwa e o neng a e neetswe.
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 “Mme kgosi ya goa ya re, ‘O dirile sentle! O monna yo o siameng o ikanyegile mo bonnyennyaneng jo ke go bo neileng. Mme tuelo ya gago ke gore, o tlaa nna molaodi wa metse e le some!’
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Monna wa bobedi le ene a bega papadi e e itumedisang, e menaganye ga tlhano go feta tlhatlhwa e o neng a e neetswe.
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 “Mong wa gagwe a mo raya a re, ‘Go siame! o ka nna molaodi mo metseng e metlhano.’
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 “Mme monna wa boraro a bega fela madi a o neng a simolotse ka one, a re, ‘Ke a bolokile,
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 ka gore ke ne ke tshaba [gore o tlaa batla papadi ya me] gonne o monna yo o thata go dirisanya nao o tsaya se e seng sa gago e bile o gapa jalo tse di lemilweng ke ba bangwe.’
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
22 Mme Kgosi ya goa ya re, ‘Selo ke wena sa motlhanka yo o bosula. A ke pelo e thata? Ke tlaa nna fela jalo mo go wena! Fa o itsile bopelo-e-thata jwa me le ka fa ke leng logwadi ka gone,
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 ke eng fa o ne o sa boloke madi a me mo polokelong gore ke tle ke bone morokotso mo go one.’
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 “Mme a retologela kwa go ba ba emeng fa go ene a ba raya a re, ‘Tsayang madi mo go ene lo a neele monna yo o dirileng a mantsi.’
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 “Mme ba re ‘Morena, o setse a na le a mantsi!’
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Kgosi ya fetola ya re, ‘Ee, ke boammaaruri gore ba ba nang le go le gontsi ba newa go le gontsi, mme ba ba nang le go le gonnye ba latlhegelwa le ke gone mo ba nang nago.
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 Mme jaanong kaga baba ba, ba me ba ba rukutlhileng, ba tliseng kwano lo ba bolaye fa pele ga me!’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Mme ya re Jesu a sena go bolela polelo e, a ya Jerusalema le barutwa ba gagwe (a ba eteletse pele).
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Ya re ba tsena mo motsing wa Bethefeige le Bethania, mo Thoteng ya Lotlhware, a romela barutwa ba gagwe ba le babedi kwa pele,
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 a ba laela go ya kwa motseng o o fa pele le gore e re ba tsena ba senke tonki e e golegilweng fa thoko ga tsela. E tlaa bo e le tonkana, e e iseng e ke e palangwe. “E gololeng, mme lo e lere kwano.
saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 Mme e re fa mongwe a lo botsa gore lo dira eng, lo re, ‘Morena o a e batla!’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Mme ba bona tonkana jaaka Jesu a boletse,
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 mme ka boammaaruri ya re ba e golola, beng ba yone ba batla tlhaloso. Ba botsa ba re, “Lo dira eng? Lo gololelang tonkana ya rona?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Mme barutwa ba fetola ba re, “Morena o a e batla!”
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 Mme ba lere tonkana kwa go Jesu ba pega dingwe tsa diaparo tsa bone mo go yone gore a e palame.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 Mme bontsi jwa batho jwa ala diaparo tsa bone mo tseleng kwa pele ga gagwe, mme ya re ba fitlha fa tsela e fologelang gone go tswa kwa Thoteng ya Lotlhware, batho ba simolola go goa ba opela fa ba ntse ba tsamaya ba baka Modimo kaga dikgakgamatso tse Jesu o di dirileng.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
38 Ba ipela ba re, “Modimo o re neile Kgosi, e tshele ka boleele! A legodimo lotlhe le itumele! Kgalalelo go Modimo kwa magodimong!”
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 Mme bangwe ba Bafarasai mo gare ga batho ba re, “Morena, kgalemela balatedi ba gago go bua dilo tse di ntseng jalo!”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Mme a fetola a re, “Fa ba ka didimala, maje a a fa thoko ga tsela a, a tlaa thubega ka tuduetso!”
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Mme ya re ba atamela Jerusalema a lebela motse kwa pele, a simolola go lela.
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 A lela a re, “Kagiso e e sa khutleng e ne e le gautshwane le wena mme wa e gana, mme jaanong lobaka lo setse lo fetile.
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Baba ba gago ba tlaa go agelela ka lobota lwa mmu, ba go dika, ba go kganelela ka ntlha tsotlhe,
For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
44 ba bo ba go ripitlela fa fatshe le bana ba gago ba o nang nabo; ga ba kitla ba tlogela leje le tlhatlaganye le le lengwe, gonne o ganne sebaka se Modimo o se go neileng.”
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45 Hong a tsena mo Tempeleng a simolola go lelekela ntle barekisi mo marekisetsong a bone,
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 a ba raya a re, “Dikwalo di bolela gore ‘Tempele ya me ke lefelo la thapelo; mme lo e fetotse mongobo wa magodu.’”
saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
47 Morago ga moo a ba ruta malatsi otlhe mo Tempeleng, mme baperesiti ba bagolo le baruti bangwe ba molao le bagwebi ba ne ba leka tsela e ba ka mmolayang ka yone.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Mme ba se ka ba akanya sepe, gonne o ne a tumile thata mo bathong, ebile ba utlwa lefoko lengwe le lengwe le o neng a le bua.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
