LUKA 7

Mosadi wa moetsadibe o a tshwarelwa

36E mong wa Bafarisi a memela Jesu ho ja le yena; a kena ka tlung ha Mofarisi eo, a dula, a ja. 37Ho ne ho ena le mosadi wa moetsadibe motseng oo. Ha a tseba hore Jesu o dijong ka tlung ha Mofarisi eo, a tlisa pitsana e tshetsweng setlolo, 38a ema kamorao, maotong a Jesu, a ntse a lla, a qala ho mo tshela maoto ka dikgapha, a a hlakola ka moriri wa hlooho ya hae, a mo aka maoto, a a tlotsa ka setlolo.

39Ha Mofarisi ya memileng Jesu a bona hoo, a re ka pelong ya hae: “Enwa hojane ke moporofeta, a ka be a tsebile hore na mosadi eo ya mo amang ke mang, ke ya jwang, hobane ke moetsadibe.”

40Jesu a mo araba, a re: “Simone, ke na le seo ke ratang ho o bolella sona.”

Yena a re: “Moruti, se bolele!”

41“Moadimani e mong o ne a ena le ba babedi ba adimileng ho yena; e mong o ne a le molato wa didenare tse makgolo a mahlano, e mong yena tse mashome a mahlano. 42Kaha ba ne ba se na seo ba ka mmuseletsang ka sona a ba leballa molato bobedi. Ke ofe ho bona ya tla mo rata ho feta?”

43Simone a araba, a re: “Ke hopola hore e tla ba eo a mo lebaletseng ho feta.”

Jesu a re ho yena: “O ahlotse ka nepo.”

44Yaba o retelehela ho mosadi, o re ho Simone: “Mosadi eo o a mmona? Ke kene ka tlung ha hao, ha o a mpha metsi a ho hlatswa maoto, empa mosadi enwa o ile a tshela maoto a ka ka dikgapa, a a hlakola ka moriri wa hae. 45Ha o a nkaka, empa mosadi enwa, haesale ke kena, ha a ka a phetsa ho aka maoto a ka. 46Ha o a ka wa ntlotsa hlooho ka ole, empa mosadi enwa o ile a tlotsa maoto a ka ka setlolo. 47Ka baka leo, ke a o bolella: O tshwaretswe dibe tsa hae leha di le ngata, ka hona o bontshitse lerato le leholo; athe ya tshwaretsweng ho honyenyane o rata hanyenyane.”

48A re ho mosadi: “O tshwaretswe dibe tsa hao.”

49Ba dutseng le yena ba qala ho re ka dipelong tsa bona: “Enwa ke mang, ya tshwarelang le dibe?”

50Empa a re ho mosadi: “Tumelo ya hao e o pholositse; eya ka kgotso!”

LUKA 7:36-50SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

Here Jesus is having dinner at the house of Simon, the Pharisee. When Jesus ‘accepts’ the touch of an unnamed woman, it disturbs Simon so much that he thinks Jesus could not be a prophet or an honourable man.

1. Jesus tells Simon a story. What is it that Simon is supposed to learn from it?

2. Simon does not know that Jesus is a prophet. Do you think the woman knows?

3. See this woman? What new picture of her emerge from Jesus’ interaction with her and Simon?

4. What is it that demonstrated the woman’s faith?

5. Can you think of ways to demonstrate faith through being hospitable in your own context?
