Luke 20
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
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.
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
Ba batla go itse gore o neilwe e mang nonofo ya go lelekela barekisi kwa ntle ga Tempele.
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
A ba fetola a re, “Ke tlaa lo botsa potso pele ga ke lo araba.
4 the immersion of Yochanan, was it from heaven, or from men?”
A Johane o ne a rometswe ke Modimo kgotsa o ne a itirela fela ka fa nonofong ya gagwe?”
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
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?’
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that Yochanan was a prophet.”
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.”
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
Mme ya re kwa morago ba fetola ba re, “Ga re itse!”
8 Yeshua said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Mme Jesu a ba araba a re, “Ga nkitla ke araba potso ya lona ka gope.”
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
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.
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
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.
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
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.
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
“Motho wa boraro le ene a rongwa mme ga diragala fela jalo le ene a ntshiwa dintho a ba a lelekwa.
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
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.’
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned amongst themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
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.’
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Hong ba mo gogela kwa ntle ga tshimo ya mofine ba mmolaya. Jaanong lo akanya gore mong wa tshimo o tlaa dira eng?
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
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.”
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
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.’”
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
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.”
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
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.
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
Ya re ba ntse ba lebeletse lebaka le la bone, ba romela ditlhola di ipeile jaaka ekete ke basiami.
21 They asked him, “Rabbi, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
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.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Jaanong a o ko o re bolelele, a go siame go duela makgetho a mmuso wa Seroma kgotsa nnyaa?”
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
Mme ya re ka go lemoga boferefere jwa bone a re,
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
“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.”
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Mme a ba raya a re, “Hong nayang molaodi tsotlhe tse e leng tsa gagwe mme lo neye Modimo tse e leng tsa one.”
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marvelled at his answer and were silent.
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.
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
Mme Basadukai bangwe, batho ba ba dumelang gore loso ke bokhutlo jwa botshelo, ba re ga go na tsogo ya baswi,
28 They asked him, “Rabbi, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
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.
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
“Re itse kaga bo morwa motho ba basimane ba supa. Yo mogolo mo go bone a nyala mme a swa a sena bana.
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
Monnawe a nyala motlholagadi yoo mme le ene, a swa a sena bana.
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
Mme ga tswelela fela jalo, go fitlhelela wa bosupa a mo nyala a bo a swa, a sena bana.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
Mme ya re kwa morago mosadi le ene a swa.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
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?”
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)
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
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.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
“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.”
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Rabbi, you speak well.”
Bangwe ba baruti ba molao ba Sejuta ba ba neng ba eme foo ba re, “O buile sentle Morena!”
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
Mme seo sa khutlisa dipotso tsa bone, gonne ba ne ba tshaba go botsa go feta foo.
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Messiah is David’s son?
Mme a ba botsa potso e: “Ke eng fa Keresete, Mesia, gotwe ke wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide?
42 David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
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.”’
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
Mesia o ka nna jang Morwa Dafide le Modimo wa ga Dafide ka nako e le nngwe.”
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
Mme ya re batho ba reeditse, a retologela kwa barutweng ba gagwe a re,
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
“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!
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
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.”
