Mareko 12
1 Tse ke ditshwantsho dingwe tsa dipolelo tse Jesu o kileng a di bolelela batho ka nako eo. Monna o kile a jala tshimo, mme a e agelela ka logora a ba a epa lehuti la go gamolela matute a moretlwa, a aga ntlo ya molebeledi. Hong a naya balemi tshimo go e thapa ka tuelo, mme a ya kwa lefatshing le le kgakala.
And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
2 Ka motlha wa thobo a romela mongwe wa badiri ba gagwe go tla go tsaya seabe sa gagwe sa thobo.
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Mme balemi ba itaya morongwa ba mmusetsa morago a sa tsaya sepe.
And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Mme mong wa tshimo a romela mongwe gape wa badiri ba gagwe, yo le ene o neng a itewa fela jalo, ba mo itaya go gaisa wa pele, gonne o ne a ntshitswe dintho tse di boitshegang mo tlhogong.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
5 Monna yo mongwe yo o neng a mo romile o ne a bolawa; mme morago, ba bangwe ba ne ba itewa kgotsa ba bolawa,
And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 go fitlhela go sala a le mongwe fela, ebong morwawe yo o tsetsweng a le esi. La bofelo a romela ene, a gopola gore ba tlaa mo tlotla.
He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 “Mme e rile fa balemi ba mmona a tla ba re, ‘Ke ene yo o tlaa tsayang tshimo fa rraagwe a a swa. Tlang re mmolayeng. Hong tshimo e tlaa nna ya rona!’
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 Hong ba mo tshwara ba mmolaya ba latlhela setopo sa gagwe kwa ntle ga tshimo.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
9 “O akanya gore mong wa tshimo o tlaa dirang fa a utlwa ka se se diragetseng? O tlaa tla a ba bolaya botlhe, mme a neela ba bangwe tshimo eo.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 A ga lo ga kologelwe gore lo badile temana mo dikwalong? e e reng, ‘Lentswe le baagi ba neng ba le latlha le ne la nna lentswe la kgokgotsho, lentswe le le tlotlegang thata mo kagong!
Have ye not read even this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
11 Se ke tiro ya Modimo e bile ke selo se se gakgamatsang go bonwa.’”
This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?
12 Baeteledipele ba Bajuta ba ne ba batla go mo tshwara teng foo, ka ntlha ya go dirisa setshwantsho se, gonne ba ne ba itse gore o raya bone, e ne e le balemi ba ba bosula mo polelong ya gagwe.
And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.
13 Mme ba romela bangwe ba baeteledipele ba tumelo le ba dipolotiki go bua le ene le go leka go mo lalela gore a tle a bue sengwe se ba ka lekang go mo tshwara ka sone.
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
14 Mme ditlhola tse tsa re, “Moruti, re itse gore o bolela boammaaruri le fa go ntse jang! Ga o tlhotlhelediwe ke dikakanyo le dikeletso tsa batho, mme o ruta ditsela tsa Modimo sentle. Jaanong re bole lele, a go siame go duela lekgetho la Roma, kgotsa nnyaa?”
And when they were come, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
15 Jesu a bona leano la bone mme a re, “Ntshupegetsang ledi mme ke tlaa lo bolelela.”
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why make ye trial of me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 E rile fa ba le mo naya a re, “Setshwantsho se le mokwalo ke tsa ga mang?” Ba mo raya ba re, “Ke tsa ga Kaesara.”
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s.
17 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re, “Go siame, fa e le gore ke tsa gagwe, mo neyeng ditsa gagwe. Mme tse eleng tsa Modimo di tshwanetse go newa Modimo!” Mme ba simolola go ingwaya ditlhogo ka ntlha ya go palelwa ke karabo ya gagwe.
And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled greatly at him.
18 Hong Basadukai ba tla kwa go ene, e le setlhopha sengwe sa banna se se reng ga go na tsogo ya baswi. Potso ya bone ke e:
And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19 “Moruti, Moshe o re neile molao gore fa motho a a swa a sena bana, a monnawe a tseye mosadi wa gagwe mme a nne le bana le ene mo leineng la ga mogolowe.
Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Go kile ga bo go le bomorwa motho ba supa mme yo mo tona a nyala, a swa a sena bana. Jalo monnawe a nyala motlholagadi yoo mme le ene a akofa a swa a sena bana. Mme yo mongwe a mo nyala le ene a swa a sena bana ga tswelela jalo go fitlhelela ba a swa botlhe. Mme le gona go ne go sena bana; morago ga moo mosadi le ene a swa.
There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;
and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:
and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 “Se re batlang go se itse ke se—Mo tsogong ya baswi, e tlaa nna mosadi wa ga mang gonne e ne e le mosadi wa bone botlhe?”
In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 Jesu a araba a re, “Molato wa lona ke gore ga lo itse dikwalo, le fa e le nonofo ya Modimo.
Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Gonne e tlaa re fa batho ba ba supang ba, le mosadi ba tsoga mo baswing, ba tlaa bo ba sa nyala mme ba tlaa bo ba tshwana le baengele.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.
26 “Mme kaga tsogo ya baswi a ga lo ise lo ke lo bale mo lokwalong lwa ga Ekesodo ka ga Moshe le setlhare se se tukang? Modimo o ne wa raya Moshe wa re, ‘Ke Modimo wa ga Aberahame, Isake le Jakobe’.
But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 “Modimo o ne o bolelela Moshe gore batho ba, le fa ba sule mo dingwageng tse di makgolokgolo tse di fetileng, ba ne ba sa ntse ba tshela, gonne o ka bo o se ka wa re, ‘Ke Modimo wa ba ba seong!’ Lo dirile phoso e tona.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.
28 Mme mongwe wa baruti ba tumelo yo o neng a eme foo a reeditse puisanyo ya bone a lemoga gore Jesu o arabile sentle. Hong a botsa a re, “Mo melaong yotlhe, ke ofe wa botlhokwa?”
And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?
29 Jesu a araba a re, “Ke o o reng, ‘Utlwa wena Iseraele! Morena Modimo wa rona ke ene Modimo a le nosi.
Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
30 Mme o tshwanetse go mo rata ka pelo yotlhe ya gago le ka mowa le ka tlhaloganyo le ka thata yotlhe ya gago.’
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
31 “Wa bobedi wa re, ‘O tshwanetse go rata ba bangwe fela jaaka o ithata;’ ga go na melao epe e e fetang e.”
The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 Mme Moruti wa tumelo a araba a re, “Morena o buile boammaaruri fa o re go na le Modimo o le mongwe fela mme ga go na ope gape.
And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he:
33 Mme ke itse gore go tlhokega thata go mo rata ka pelo yotlhe ya me le ka kitso, le go rata ba bangwe jaaka ke ithata, go na le go ntsha mehuta yotlhe ya ditlhabelo mo aletareng ya Tempele.”
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
34 Mme e rile Jesu a lemoga go tlhaloganya ga monna yo a re, “Ga o kgakala le Bogosi jwa Modimo.” Mme morago ga moo ga seka ga tlhola ga nna le ope yo o pelokgale go mmotsa dipotso.
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
35 Ya re morago Jesu a ntse a ruta batho mo tikologong ya Tempele, a ba botsa potso e: “Ke eng fa baruti ba tumelo ya lona ba re, Mesia o tshwanetse a bo a le wa lotso lwa ga Kgosi Dafide?
And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
36 Dafide ka esi o buile ka Mowa o o Boitshepo a re, ‘Modimo o reile Morena wa me wa re, nna ka fa letsogong ja me je legolo, ke be ke tle ke dire baba ba gago sebeo sa dinao tsa gago.’
David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
37 E re ka Dafide a ne a mmitsa Morena wa gagwe, o ka nna morwawe jang?” (Kakanyo e ya itumedisa bontsintsi jwa batho, mme ba mo reetsa ka kgatlhego e kgolo thata.)
David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 Dilo dingwe tse a di ba rutileng ka nako eo ke tse: “Itlhokomeleng mo baruting ba tumelo! Gonne ba rata go apara diaparo tsa bahumi le tsa barutegi, le gore batho botlhe ba ba ikobele fa ba tsamaya mo marekisetsong.
And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,
39 Ba rata go nna mo ditilong tse di kwa pele mo ditempeleng le manno a tlotlo mo medirong,
and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
40 mme ga ba tlhabiwe ke ditlhong go tsietsa batlholagadi mo matlung a bone, tota ba fitlha gore ke batho ba mekgwa e e ntseng jang, ba dira jaaka o ka re ba obamela Modimo ka go rapela dithapelo tse di telele mo ponong ya batho. Ka ntlha ya go dira jalo katlholo ya bone e tlaa nna e kgolo.”
they that devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
41 Hong a ya fa letloleng la madi a Tempele a nna fa fatshe a lebelela fa bontsi jwa batho bo ntse bo latlhela madi. Bangwe ba ba neng ba humile ba ne ba latlhela a magolo.
And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 Hong ga tla mosadi wa motlholagadi wa mohumanegi a tla a latlhela dithebe di le pedi.
And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 A biletsa barutwa ba gagwe kwa go ene a re, “Mohumanegi yole wa motlholagadi o ntshitse mo go golo go feta gotlhe ga bahumi go kopantswe! Gonne bone ba ntshitse mo go botlana, ga dikhumo tsa bone, fa ene a ntshitse thebe ya gagwe ya bofelo.”
And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:
for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
