Although most translations use the word "punishment" at Matthew 25:46, the basic meaning of the Greek word koʹla·sin is "checking the growth of trees," or pruning, cutting off needless branches.
Le fa bontsi jwa dithanolo di dirisa lefoko "kotlhao" mo go Mathaio 25:46, tota lefoko leno la Segerika koʹla·sin le kaya "go tlhokomela go gola ga ditlhare" kgotsa go poma le go kgaola dikala tse di sa tlhokegeng.
