< Romans 11 >
1 I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
Jaanong ke a botsa, A Modimo o ganne ebile o latlhile batho ba one Bajuta? Nnyaa, le goka! Gakologelwang gore nna ke Mojuta, wa losika lwa ga Aberahame, wa lotso lwa ga Benjamine.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,
Nnyaa, Modimo ga o a latlha batho ba e leng ba one ba o saleng o ba itlhophela go tsweng tshimologong. A lo gakologelwa se Dikwalo di se buang ka ga se? Elija moporofiti o ne a ngongorega mo Modimong kaga Bajuta, a bolelela Modimo ka fa ba bolaileng baporofiti ka teng ba bo ba rutlolola dibeso tsa Modimo; Elija o ne a bua gore e ne e le ene fela yo o setseng mo lefatsheng lotlhe a santse a rata Modimo, mme le ene ba ne ba leka go mmolaya.
3 Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?
4 But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.
A mme lo gakologelwa ka fa Modimo o neng wa mo fetola ka teng? Modimo o ne wa re, “Nnyaa, ga se wena o le nosi yo o setseng. Ke na le ba bangwe ba le dikete tse di supang kwa ntle ga gago, ba ba santseng ba nthata le gone ga ba ise ba ke ba obamele medimo ya disetwa.”
5 Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.
Go ntse jalo le gompieno. Ga se Bajuta botlhe ba ba furaletseng Modimo; go na le ba se kae ba ba bolailweng ka ntlha ya kutlwelobotlhoko ya Modimo ka go ba itshenkela.
6 And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.
Mme fa e le gore ke ka kutlwelo-botlhoko ya Modimo, mme ga se ka ntlha ya tshiamo ya bone. Gonne ka lebaka leo, neo ya mahala e ne e tlaa bo e sa tlhole e le mahala. Fa e direlwa ga e tlhole e le mahala.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,
Jalo, he, seemo ke se: Bajuta ba le bantsi ga ba a bona kutlwelobotlhoko ya Modimo e ba e batlang. Ba se kae ba e bonye, bone ba Modimo o ba itlhophetseng, mme matlho a ba bangwe a foufaditswe.
8 According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
Ke sone se Dikwalo tsa rona di se rayang fa di re Modimo o ba robaditse, o tswetse matlho le ditsebe tsa bone gore ba seka ba tlhaloganya se re se buang fa re ba bolelela Keresete. Nako kgolo ke eno ba ntse ba ntse fela jalo.
9 And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.
Kgosi Dafide o ne a bua kaga sone selo se fa a re, “A dijo tsa bone tse di monate le masego a mangwe e nne seru mo go bone mo go itheyeng ga bone ba re gotlhe go siame fa gare ga bone le Modimo. A dilo tse di siameng tse di boele mo go bone di bo di ba wele mo ditlhogong go ba ripitla kwa ntle ga patiko.
10 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.
A matlho a bone a fifale gore ba seka ba bona, o bo o ba obe mekwatla ka mokgweleo o o bokete ka bosakhutleng.”
11 I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.
A mo go raya gore Modimo o latlhetse ruri batho ba one Bajuta? Nnyaa, ga go a nna jalo! Maikaelelo a one e ne e le go dira gore poloko ya one e bonwe ke Badichaba, gonne Bajuta ba ne ba tlaa fufega ba bo ba simolola go ipatlela poloko ya Modimo ka bo bone.
12 Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?
Jaanong fa e le gore lefatshe lotlhe le humisitswe ka ntlha ya neo ya Modimo ya poloko, erile fa Bajuta ba kgotswa mo go yone ba bo ba e itatola, akanyang gore lefatshe le le tlaa nna le seabe sa lesego le legolo thata jang motlhang Bajuta le bone ba tlang kwa go Keresete.
13 For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,
Jaaka lo itse, Modimo o ntlhophetse go nna morongwa wa botlhokwa mo go lona badichaba. Ke gatelela selo se, ebile ke gakolola Bajuta kaga sone gangwe le gape fela ka fa ke ka kgonang ka teng,
14 To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.
gore e re fa go kgonega ke tle ke ba ratise se lona Badichaba lo nang naso mme ka yone tsela eo ke boloke bangwe ba bone.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?
Mme go tlaa nna go ntle thata jang fa ba nna Bakeresete! Erile fa Modimo o ba furalela go bo go raya gore o retologetse kwa go Badichaba go ba naya poloko ya one; mme jaanong ebile go go ntle thata fa Bajuta ba tla mo go Keresete. Go tlaa bo go tshwana le batho ba ba suleng ba boela mo botshelong.
16 For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.
Mme ka Aberahame le baporofiti e le batho ba Modimo, le bana ba bone e tlaa nna bana ba Modimo. Gonne fa medi ya setlhare e le boitshepo, dikala le tsone di tlaa nna fela jalo.
17 And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.
Mme dingwe tsa dikala tse, tse di tswang mo setlhareng sa ga Aberahame, dingwe tsa Bajuta, di kgaotswe. Mme lona Badichaba ba lo foo lo le dikala, a re re kgotsa, lo ditlhare tse di neng di kgaotswe mo motlhwareng wa naga, lwa lomelelwa mo go one. Jaanong le lona, lo amogela lesego le Modimo o le solofeditseng Aberahame le bana ba gagwe, lo tlhakanela go ja dikotla tsa Modimo.
18 Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.
Mme o ikele tlhoko o seka wa ipelafatsa ka go lomelelwa ga gago mo motlhwareng go emisetsa dikala tse di neng di kgaotswe. Gakologelwa gore o botlhokwa fela ka ntlha ya gore jaanong o kala ya setlhare sa Modimo; o kala fela, e seng modi.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.
Mme o ka ne o re, “Hei, dikala tsele di ne di kgaolelwa gore ke tle ke lomelelwe, jalo, he, mo go raya gore ke tshwanetse ka be ke siame tota.”
20 Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.
Tlhokomelang Gakologelwang gore dikala tseo, ebong Bajuta ba lomolotswe ka ntlha ya gore ba ne ba sa dumele Modimo, mme wena o foo fela ka gore o a dumela. Se nne le boikgogomoso, nna le boingotlo le go leboga gape o ikele tlhoko.
21 For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.
Gonne fa Modimo o ise o ke o rekegele dikala tse o neng wa di tlhogisa pele, le wena ga o na go go rekegela.
22 Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.
Lemoga ka fa Modimo o leng pelonomi le pelo-e-thata ka teng. O pelo e thata mo go maswe mo go ba ba sa o reetseng, mme o molemo thata mo go wena fa o tswelela ka go o rata le go o ikanya. Mme fa o sa dire jalo, le wena o tlaa kgaolwa.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
Gape, fa Bajuta ba kgaogana le go tlhoka go dumela ga bone mme ba boela kwa Modimong, Modimo o tlaa ba lomelela gape mo setlhareng. O na le nonofo go dira jalo.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
Gonne fa Modimo o ne wa lo tsaya lona ba lo neng lo le kgakala nao, lo le dikala tsa motlhware wa naga, wa ba wa lo lomelela mo setlhareng sa one se se molemo, a ga lo bone gore o tlaa bo o ipaakanyeditse go lomelela Bajuta ba ba neng ba le foo lwa ntlha?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.
Ke batla gore lo itse kaga boammaaruri jo, jo bo tswang kwa Modimong, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, gore lo tlo lo seka lwa ikgogomosa lwa simolola go belafala. Ee, ke boammaruri gore jaanong bangwe ba Bajuta ba itirile go nna kgatlhano le Mafoko a a Molemo, mme mo go tlaa nna fela jalo go fitlhelela lona Badichaba lo tla mo go Keresete.
26 And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.
Mme hong Chaba yotlhe e tlaa bolokwa. A lo gakologelwa se baporofiti ba se buileng kaga se? “Go tlaa tswa Mogolodi mo Siona, mme o tlaa sokolola Bajuta mo boikepong jotlhe.
27 And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.
Ka nako eo ke tlaa tlosa dibe tsa bone tsotlhe, fela jaaka ke solofeditse.”
28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
Jaanong bontsi jwa Bajuta ke baba ba Mafoko a a Molemo. Ba a a ila. Mme mo go lo solegela molemo, gonne go dirile gore Modimo o lo neye dineo tsa one lona Badichaba. Legale Bajuta ba sa ntse ba ratwa ke Modimo ka ntlha ya ditsholofetso tsa one mo go Aberahame, Isake le Jakoba.
29 For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.
Gonne Modimo ga o ke o busetsa morago dineo le pitso ya one; ga o kitla o boela kwa morago mo ditsholofetsong tsa one.
30 For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:
Lo kile lwa bo lo le batsuulodi ba Modimo, mme erile fa Bajuta ba gana dineo tsa one, Modimo mo boemong jwa go gana ga bone wa nna kutlwelo botlhoko mo go lona.
31 Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.
Mme jaanong Bajuta ke batsuulodi, legale letsatsi lengwe le bone ba tlaa balelwa mo kutlwelong botlhoko ya Modimo fela jaaka lona.
32 For God hath shut vp all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercie on all. (eleēsē )
Gonne Modimo o ba dirile baleofi botlhe gore o tle o ba utlwele botlhoko botlhe ka go tshwana. (eleēsē )
33 O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
Ana re na le Modimo O O molemo jang? Botlhale jwa one le kitso le dikhumo tsa one di dikgolo jang! Ga go kgonege jang mo go rona go tlhaloganya maikaelelo a One le ditsela tsa One.
34 For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?
Gonne ke ofe mo go rona yo o ka itseng mogopolo wa Morena? Ke mang yo o ka itseng sentle go ka nna mogakolodi le mogogi wa one?
35 Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?
Gape ke ofe yo o ka abelang Morena sengwe se se lekanyeng pele go mo tlhotlheletsa gore le ene a tle a mo direle sengwe?
36 For of him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him be glory for euer. Amen. (aiōn )
Gonne sengwe le sengwe se ntse ka nonofo ya one. A kgalalelo e nne mo go one ka bosakhutleng. (aiōn )
