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),
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich.
3 a leka go bona Jesu mme a ba a le mokhutshwane thata go mmona mo bontsintsing jwa batho.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 Mme a sianela kwa pele a palama setlhare sa mosikamore fa thoko ga tsela, a lebelela a le koo.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon 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 when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 Sakaio a itlhaganela a fologa a tseela Jesu kwa tlung ya gagwe ka boitumelo jo bogolo.
And he made haste, and 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, That he was gone to be guest with a man that 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; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
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.”
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of man is come 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.
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
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.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till 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 a message after him, saying, We will not have 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.
And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 “Monna wa ntlha a bega papadi e kgolo, e menaganye ga some go feta tlhwatlhwa e o neng a e neetswe.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
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, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou 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.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 “Mong wa gagwe a mo raya a re, ‘Go siame! o ka nna molaodi mo metseng e metlhano.’
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 “Mme monna wa boraro a bega fela madi a o neng a simolotse ka one, a re, ‘Ke a bolokile,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
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 thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst 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,
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what 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.’
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
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.’
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 “Mme ba re ‘Morena, o setse a na le a mantsi!’
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
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 say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Mme jaanong kaga baba ba, ba me ba ba rukutlhileng, ba tliseng kwano lo ba bolaye fa pele ga me!’”
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay 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).
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, 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,
And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his 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 ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 Mme e re fa mongwe a lo botsa gore lo dira eng, lo re, ‘Morena o a e batla!’”
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 Mme ba bona tonkana jaaka Jesu a boletse,
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to 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?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Mme barutwa ba fetola ba re, “Morena o a e batla!”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Mme ba lere tonkana kwa go Jesu ba pega dingwe tsa diaparo tsa bone mo go yone gore a e palame.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
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.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
And when he had come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that 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 be the King that cometh 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!”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Mme a fetola a re, “Fa ba ka didimala, maje a a fa thoko ga tsela a, a tlaa thubega ka tuduetso!”
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Mme ya re ba atamela Jerusalema a lebela motse kwa pele, a simolola go lela.
And when he had come near, he beheld 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 thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy 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 shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee 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 shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Hong a tsena mo Tempeleng a simolola go lelekela ntle barekisi mo marekisetsong a bone,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;
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, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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.
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of 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.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
