Luke 20
1 Mme ya re ka letsatsi lengwe la malatsi ao fa a ntse a ruta a bile a rera Mafoko a a Molemo mo Tempeleng, a engwa pele ke baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba tumelo le bagolwane ba motse.
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
2 Ba batla go itse gore o neilwe e mang nonofo ya go lelekela barekisi kwa ntle ga Tempele.
And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 A ba fetola a re, “Ke tlaa lo botsa potso pele ga ke lo araba.
And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 A Johane o ne a rometswe ke Modimo kgotsa o ne a itirela fela ka fa nonofong ya gagwe?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 Ba buisanya ka ga gone bare, “Fa re re molaetsa wa gagwe o ne o tswa legodimong, hong re tlaa bo re itshwarisa ka gore o tla re botsa gore, ‘Ke eng falo sa dumela?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 Mme fa re re Johane o ne a sa rongwa ke Modimo batho ba tlaa re kgobotletsa ka maje, gonne ba dumela thata gore ene ele moporo-fiti.”
But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Mme ya re kwa morago ba fetola ba re, “Ga re itse!”
And they answered, that they could not tell where it was from.
8 Mme Jesu a ba araba a re, “Ga nkitla ke araba potso ya lona ka gope.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Mme a retologela kwa bathong gape a ba bolelela polelo e: “Monna o kile a lema tshimo ya mofine mme a e hirisetsa balemi bangwe, mme a tsamaela kwa lefatsheng le le kgakala go ya go nna gone dingwaga di se kae.
Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.
10 Mme e rile fa nako ya thobo e fitlha, a romela mongwe wa batho ba gagwe go ya go phutha seabe sa gagwe sa thobo. Mme balemi ba mo itaya ba mmusetsa morago a iphotlhere fela.
And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 Mme a romela yo mongwe, mme ga diragala gape jalo le ene a itewa a tlhapadiwa a bo a busediwa morago a sa tsaya sepe.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 “Motho wa boraro le ene a rongwa mme ga diragala fela jalo le ene a ntshiwa dintho a ba a lelekwa.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Hong mong wa tshimo a ipotsa a re, ‘Ke tlaa dira eng? Ke tlaa roma morwaake yo ke mo ratang thata. Ammaaruri ene ba tlaa mo tlotla.’
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
14 Mme e rile balemi ba bona morwawe, ba re, ‘E ke yone fela nako ya rona! Motho yo o tlaa ja boswa jwa lefatshe lotlhe fa rraagwe a sena goswa. Tlang, a re mmolayeng, ke gone e tlaa nnang jwa rona.’
But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Hong ba mo gogela kwa ntle ga tshimo ya mofine ba mmolaya. Jaanong lo akanya gore mong wa tshimo o tlaa dira eng?
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Ke a lo bolelela, o tlaa tla go ba bolaya a bo a hirisetsa ba sele tshimo ya mofine.” Mme bareetsi ba ganela ba re, “Ga ba ke ba dira selo se se ntseng jalo.”
He shall come and destroy these vinedressers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that never be.
17 Mme Jesu a ba leba a re, “Jaanong dikwalo di raya eng fa di re, ‘Lentswe le le gannweng ke baagi ke lone le le dirilweng lentswe la kgokgotshwana.’”
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Mme a tlatsa a re, “Le fa e le mang yo o kgotswang mo lentsweng leo o tlaa robega; mme ba le ba welang le tlaa ba sugakanya go fitlhelela ba nna lorole.”
Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 E rile baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba molao ba utlwa kaga polelo e o e boletseng, ba batla gore a tshwarwe ka bonako, gonne ba ne ba lemoga gore o bua kaga bone. E ne e le bahiri ba ba bosula mo polelong ya gagwe. Mme ba ne ba boifa gore fa bone ka sebele ba ka mo tshwara go tlaa nna le pheretlhego. Hong ba leka go mo tshwara ka go bua sengwe se se ka bolelelwang molaodi wa Seroma e le lebaka le le ka mo tshwarang.
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Ya re ba ntse ba lebeletse lebaka le la bone, ba romela ditlhola di ipeile jaaka ekete ke basiami.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Ba raya Jesu ba re, “Morena re a itse fa o le moruti yo o ikanyegang. O aga o bolela boammaaruri o sa fapoge ka gope se bangwe ba se akanyang, ebile o ruta ditsela tsa Modimo.
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Jaanong a o ko o re bolelele, a go siame go duela makgetho a mmuso wa Seroma kgotsa nnyaa?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 Mme ya re ka go lemoga boferefere jwa bone a re,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 “Ntshupegetsang ledi. Ke setshwantsho sa ga mang se se mo go lone? Ke leina la ga mang?” Mme ba fetola ba re, “Kaesara, molaodi yo mogolo wa Roma.”
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.
25 Mme a ba raya a re, “Hong nayang molaodi tsotlhe tse e leng tsa gagwe mme lo neye Modimo tse e leng tsa one.”
And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which are God’s.
26 Mme maiteko a bone a go leka go mo tshwara ka mafoko mo pele ga batho a pala; ba hakgamalela karabo ya gagwe mme ba didimala.
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Mme Basadukai bangwe, batho ba ba dumelang gore loso ke bokhutlo jwa botshelo, ba re ga go na tsogo ya baswi,
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 ba tla kwa go Jesu ba re, “Melao ya ga Moshe ya re fa monna a a swa a sena bana, morwa-rraagwe o ka nyala motlholagadi wa gagwe mme bana ba bone e bo e le ba monna yo o suleng, go tsweledisa leina la gagwe.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man’s brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 “Re itse kaga bo morwa motho ba basimane ba supa. Yo mogolo mo go bone a nyala mme a swa a sena bana.
There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 Monnawe a nyala motlholagadi yoo mme le ene, a swa a sena bana.
And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
31 Mme ga tswelela fela jalo, go fitlhelela wa bosupa a mo nyala a bo a swa, a sena bana.
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Mme ya re kwa morago mosadi le ene a swa.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 Jaanong potso ya rona fano ke gore: E tlaa nna mosadi wa ga mang mo tsogong ya baswi! Gonne ba ne ba mo nyetse botlhe?”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her for a wife.
34 Jesu a ba fetola a re, “Nyalo ke selo sa batho mono lefatsheng, mme e tlaa re ka letsatsi leo, batho ba ba bonwang ba tshwanetswe ke go tsosiwa mo baswing ba tsena kwa legodimong ga ba kitla ba nyala. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 Le gone ga ba kitla ba tlhola ba a swa ka gope, ka tsela e, ba tshwana le baengele, ke bana ba Modimo gonne ba tsoseditswe botshelong jo bosha go tswa mo baswing.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 “Mme ka fa potsong ya lona, e, le go ka ne go na le tsogo ya baswi kgotsa nnyaa, ke eng, fa le dikwalo tsa ga Moshe di supa selo se. Gonne fa a tlhalosa ka fa Modimo o iponaditseng ka gone mo go ene mo setlhareng se se tukang, o bua kaga Modimo e le, ‘Modimo wa ga Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe.’ Gore Morena ke Modimo wa motho, mongwe, go raya gore motho yoo o a tshela, ga aa swa. Jalo ka fa Modimong batho botlhe ba a tshela.”
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Bangwe ba baruti ba molao ba Sejuta ba ba neng ba eme foo ba re, “O buile sentle Morena!”
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Mme seo sa khutlisa dipotso tsa bone, gonne ba ne ba tshaba go botsa go feta foo.
And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
41 Mme a ba botsa potso e: “Ke eng fa Keresete, Mesia, gotwe ke wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide?
And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
42 Gonne Dafide ka boene o kwadile mo bukeng ya Dipesalema a re, ‘Modimo o reile Morena wa me, Mesia, wa re, “Nna ka fa seatleng sa me se segolo go fitlhelela ke baya baba ba gago ka fa tlase ga dinao tsa gago.”’
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 Mesia o ka nna jang Morwa Dafide le Modimo wa ga Dafide ka nako e le nngwe.”
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Mme ya re batho ba reeditse, a retologela kwa barutweng ba gagwe a re,
Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46 “Itiseng mo bomaitseanapeng ba, ba tumelo, gonne ba rata go apara diaparo tse di kgokgothang le go dumedisiwa ka tlotlo fa ba tsamaya mo mebileng. Mme ba rata jang ditulo tsa tlotlego mo disenagogeng le manno a tlotlomalo mo medirong!
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 Mme le fa ba rapela ba rapela dithapelo tse di telele ka bobelonomi jo bogolo jo bo bonalang ka kwa ntle, ba loga maano a go gapela basadi ba batlholagadi dilo tsa bone ka tsietso. Mme katlholo e e boitshegang ya Modimo e letetse batho ba.”
Who devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater condemnation.
