Luke 8
1 Mme ka bofefo morago ga moo a etela metse le metsana ya Galalea go bolela go tla ga Bogosi jwa Modimo, mme a tsamaya le barutwa ba gagwe ba ba lesome le bobedi.
Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2 Basadi bangwe ba tsamaya nae, ba o ntshitseng mewa e e maswe mo go bone kgotsa ba o ba fodisitseng; mo go bone go ne go le Marea Magatalena (Jesu o ne a ntshitse mewa e e maswe ele supa mo go ene).
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Miriam who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 Joana mosadi wa ga Chusa (Chusa e ne e le molaodi wa papadi ya ga Kgosi Herode a bile a le motlhokomedi wa ntlo ya segosi le dilwana tsa yone). Susana, le ba bangwe ba ba neng ba ntsha dikatso go otla Jesu le barutwa ba gagwe.
and Yochanah, the wife of Kuza, Herod’s steward; Shoshanah; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4 Ka letsatsi lengwe a neela boidiidi jwa batho ba ba neng ba phuthegile go tla go mo utlwa, setshwantsho se, fa ba bangwe ba bantsi ba sa ntse ba le mo tseleng ba tswa mo metseng e mengwe.
When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 “Molemi o kile a tswela kwa tshimong ya gagwe go ya go jala peo. Ya re a gasa peo fa fatshe, nngwe ya yone ya wela mo tseleng mme ya gatakwa; mme dinonyane tsa e e ja ka e ne e le mo lobaleng.
“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Peo e nngwe ya wela mo mmunyaneng o go neng go ikadile letlapa ka fa tlase ga one. Peo ya simolola go gola, mme ka bonako ya swaba ya a swa ka ntlha ya go tlhoka longola.
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Peo e nngwe ya wela mo gare ga masitlwana, mme medi e mennye ya akofa ya hupela.
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 E nngwe ya wela mo mmung o o molemo; peo e ya gola ya ungwa thobo ya selekanyo sa lekgolo go menagane go gaisa ka fa a neng a jetse ka teng.” (Ya re a a fa setshwantsho se a re, “Yo o nang le ditsebe a a utlwe.”)
Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9 Baapostoloi ba gagwe ba mmotsa gore polelo e e rayang.
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 Mme a fetola a re, “Modimo o lo letleletse go itse tlhaloso ya ditshwantsho tse, gonne di bolela tiro e kgolo ya Bogosi jwa Modimo. Mme bontsintsi jo jwa batho bo utlwa mafoko mme ga ba tlhaloganye, fela jaaka baporofiti ba boletse.
He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 “Tlhaloso ya sone ke e: Peo ke molaetsa wa Modimo mo bathong.
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Tsela e e kwakwaletseng e peo nngwe e wetseng mo go yone e tshwantshiwa le dipelo tse di thata tsa batho ba ba utlwang mafoko a Modimo, mme diabolo a tle a utswe mafoko a kganele batho go dumela le go bolokwa.
Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Lefatshe le le maje le tshwantshiwa le ba ba itumelelang go reetsa dithero, mme ka mokgwa mongwe molaetsa tota o sa tsene mo go bone le gone ga o mele ebile ga o gole. Ba a itse gore molaetsa o o boammaaruri mme ba dumela ka lobakanyana fela; ere fa dipogiso di tla ba felelwe, ke kgatlhego.
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14 Peo e e mo gare ga mitlwa e tshwantshiwa le batho ba ba dumelang mafoko a Modimo mme ba e reng morago tumelo ya bone e hupediwe ke matshwenyego le dikhumo le ditiro le maitumelo a botshelo. Mme jalo ga ba na nonofo ya go thusa ope go dumela Mafoko a a Molemo.
What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
15 “Mme mmu o o molemo o tshwantshiwa le batho ba ba ikanyegang ba ba pelo di siameng. Ba reetsa mafoko a Modimo ba a tshegetse mme ba a anamise ka bonya mo go ba bangwe.”
Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16 [Ka nako e nngwe a botsa a re, ] “E mang yo o kileng a utlwalela mongwe yo e a reng a sena go tshuba lobone a lo khurumetse gore lo se ka lwa bonesa? Nnyaa! Dipone di bewa mo di ka bonwang teng.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17 Se se supa gore ka letsatsi leo sengwe le sengwe [mo dipelong tsa batho] se tlaa leriwe mo leseding mme se supegediwe botlhe.
For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 Jalo itlhokomeleng ka fa lo reetsang ka gone, gonne yo o nang le gone, o tlaa newa mo go tona; mme le fa e le mang yo o senang sepe, le e leng se o nang naso tota o tlaa se tseelwa.”
Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19 Mme ya re ka nako nngwe fa mmaagwe le bomonnawe ba tsile go mmona, ba seka ba tsena mo tlung e o neng a ruta mo go yone ka ntlha ya bontsintsi jwa batho.
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 E rile Jesu a utlwa fa ba eme kwa ntle ba batla go mmona,
Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21 a re, “Mme le bonnake ke botlhe ba ba utlwang molaetsa wa Modimo ba bo ba o tshegetsa.”
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Ka letsatsi lengwe mo lobakeng loo, fa ene le barutwa ba gagwe ba le kwa ntle mo mokorong, a ntsha mogopolo wa gore ba kgabaganyetse ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.
Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23 Mme ya re ba kgabaganya a rapama a thulamela, mme ya re a sa ntse a robetse ga tsoga matsubutsubu a phefo a a boitshegang a leka go kgaphela mokoro mo lewatleng. Mme ba ne ba le mo diphatseng tse di kgolo.
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24 Mme ba taboga ba mo tsosa ba goa ba re, “Morena, Morena re a nwela!” Hong a bua le phefo a re, “Kgaotsa,” mme diphefo le makhubu a metse tsa khutla, gotlhe ga nna tidimalo.
They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25 Mme a ba botsa a re, “Tumelo ya lona e kae?” Mme ba bo ba tletse therego le go mmoifa ba raana ba re, “Monna yo ke mang, yo le e leng diphefo le makhubu a metse a mo utlwang?”
He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 Mme ba goroga ka fa ntlheng e nngwe, mo lefatsheng la Bagerasena go lebagana le lecha la Galalea.
Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Ya re a fologa mo mokorong monna yo o tswang mo motseng wa Gatara a tla go mo kgatlhantsha, monna yo o neng a tsenwe ke mewa e e maswe ka lobaka lo lo leele. A se na legae a bile a sa ikatega, a nna mo mabitleng mo gare ga diphupu.
When Yeshua stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Ya re ka bonako fa a bona Jesu a gala a wela fa fatshe fa pele ga ga Jesu, a goa, a re, “O batla go dirang ka nna, Jesu, Morwa Modimo o o tlotlegang? Tsweetswee, ke a go rapela, o se ka wa ntlhokofatsa!”
When he saw Yeshua, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29 Gonne Jesu o ne a setse a laola mowa o o maswe gore o tswe mo go ene. Mowa o o maswe o ne o tle o laole monna yo mo e leng gore e ne e tle e re le fa a bofilwe ka dikeetane a kgaole mme a siele mo nageng, a laolwa ke mowa o o maswe gotlhelele.
For Yeshua was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 Mme Jesu a botsa mowa oo maswe a re, “Leina la gago ke mang?” Mme wa fetola wa re, “Diketekete,” gonne o ne a tletse diketekete tsa mowa o o maswe!
Yeshua asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31 Mme ya mo kopa gore a se ka a e laolela go tsena mo lehuting le le senang bolekanngo. (Abyssos g12)
They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Serapa sa dikolobe sa bo se fula gautshwane mo mhapheng wa thaba mme mewa e e maswe ya mo kopa gore a e letle go tsena mo dikolobeng. Mme Jesu a e letla.
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33 Mme ya tswa mo monneng ya tsena mo dikolobeng, mme ka bonako serapa sotlhe sa kgokologa thaba sa wela mo teng ga lecha kwa tlase, mo di neng tsa nwela teng tsotlhe.
The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 Hong badisa ba dikolobe ba sianela kwa motsing o o gaufi, ba gasa mafoko fa ba ntse ba siana.
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Ka bofefo bontsintsi jwa batho jwa tla go iponela ka bobone se se diragetseng mme ba bona monna yo o neng a tsenwe ke mowa o o maswe a ntse ka tidimalo fa dinaong tsa ga Jesu, a apere a bile a ikutlwa sentle. Mme bontsintsi jwa batho botlhe ba tshoga thata.
People went out to see what had happened. They came to Yeshua and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Yeshua’s feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Hong ba ba neng ba bone selo se se diragala ba bolela ka fa monna yo o neng a tsenwe ke mewa e e maswe a fodisitsweng ka teng.
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37 Mme batho botlhe ba kopa Jesu gore a tsamaye a ba tlogele (gonne therego e kgolo ya letshogo e ne ya ba wela). Mme a boela kwa mokorong a tsamaya, a kgabaganyetsa gape ka kwa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha.
All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38 Monna yo o neng a tsenwe ke mewa e e maswe a kopa go tsamaya le ene, mme Jesu a gana.
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Yeshua sent him away, saying,
39 A mo raya a re, “Boela kwa go ba ntlo ya gago, o ba bolelele selo se sentle se Modimo o se go diretseng.” O ne a tsamaya le motse otlhe a bolelela mongwe le mongwe kaga kgakgamatso e kgolo ya ga Jesu.
“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Yeshua had done for him.
40 Ka fa ntlheng e nngwe ya lecha bontsintsi jwa batho jwa mo amogela ka botlalo, gonne ba ne ba ntse ba mo lebeletse.
When Yeshua returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Mme jaanong monna yo o neng a bidiwa Jairo, moeteledipele wa ntlo ya thuto ya Sejuta, a tla a wela fa dinaong tsa ga Jesu a mo kopa gore a ye nae kwa ga gagwe,
Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Yeshua’s feet and begged him to come into his house,
42 gonne ngwana wa gagwe yo o esi o ne a swa, morweetsana wa dingwaga tse di lesome le bobedi. Mme Jesu a tsamaya nae, ba sutlhelela ka bothata mo gare ga batho.
for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43 Ya re ba ntse ba tsamaya mosadi yo o neng a batla phodiso a tla kwa morago a ama Jesu, gonne o ne a dutlile madi ka bonya selekanyo sa dingwaga di le lesome le bobedi, mme a sa bone kalafi (ntswa a sentse sengwe le sengwe se a neng a na naso mo dingakeng), mme nako e o neng a ama ntlha ya seaparo sa ga Jesu, madi a ema.
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Mme Jesu a botsa a re, “Ke mang yo o nkamileng?” Mme mongwe le mongwe a itatola, mme Petere a re, “Morena, bontsintsi bo go dikaganyeditse…”
Yeshua said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Mme Jesu a mo raya a re, “Nnyaa, e ne e le mongwe fela yo o nkamileng ka bomo, gonne ke utlwile nonofo ya phodiso e tswa mo go nna.”
But Yeshua said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47 Mme ya re mosadi a lemoga gore Jesu o a itse, a simolola go roroma a wela fa fatshe ka mangole fa pele ga gagwe a mmolelela go re o ne a mo amelang le gore jaanong o fodile.
When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Hong Jesu a mo raya a re, “Morwadiaka, tumelo ya gago e go fodisitse. Tsamaya ka kagiso.”
He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 E rile a sa ntse a bua le ene, morongwa a goroga a tswa kwa lapeng la ga Jairo ka mafoko a a reng ngwanyana o sule. A raya rraagwe ngwana a re, “O sule, ga go thuse go tshwenya Moruti jaanong.”
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Rabbi.”
50 Mme e rile fa Jesu a utlwalela se se diragetseng, a raya rraagwe ngwana a re, “Se boife! Ikanye nna fela, ngwana o tla siama.”
But Yeshua hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 Ya re ba goroga kwa tlung Jesu a se ka a letla ope go tsena mo tlung fa e se Petere, Jakobe le Johane le batsadi ba morweetsana.
When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, Yochanan, Jacob, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 Lelapa le ne le tletse batho ba ba hutsafetseng, mme a re, “Lesang go lela! Ga a a swa; o robetse fela!”
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53 Se sa tlisa tshotlo le setshego, gonne ba ne ba itse botlhe gore o sule.
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Hong a mo tshwara ka seatla a mmitsa a re, “Tsoga morweetsana.”
But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55 Mme ka yone nako eo a rula a nanoga! A ba raya a re, “Mo neeng sengwe a je!”
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 Batsadi ba gagwe ba ne ba itumela thata. Mme Jesu a ba laya gore ba seka ba bolelela ope kaga se se diragetseng.
Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
