< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ka re na le ditsholofetso tse di kgolo tse, ditsala tse di rategang, a re fulareleng sengwe le sengwe se se ka re leswefatsang, a e ka bo e le mo mmeleng kgotsa mo moweng mme re iphepafatse gore re nne mo poifong-Modimo ka botlalo, re ineele one o le nosi.
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Tswee-tswee re buleleng dipelo tsa lona gape, gonne ga go ope wa lona yo re kileng ra mmogisa. Ga go ope wa lona yo re mo timeditseng. Ga re a tsietsa ope le fa e le go tseela ope sepe.
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
Ga ke bue se go lo omanya kgotsa go lo kgala, gonne jaaka ke setse ke buile, lo mo pelong ya me ka bosakhutleng, ebile ke tshela ke bo ke swa le lona.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
Ke lo ikantse thata, le boikgantsho jwa me mo go lona bo bogolo. Lo nkgothaditse thata; lo intumedisitse thata le mo dipogisong tsa me tsotlhe.
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
Erile re goroga mo Masedonia re ne re sena boitapoloso; ka kwa ntle, matshwenyego a ne a le gongwe le gongwe a re dikaganyeditse; mo teng ga rona, dipelo tsa rona di ne di tletse letshogo le poifo.
6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Mme Modimo o o nametsang ba ba dipelo di botlhoko wa re nonotsha ka go goroga ga ga Tito.
7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
E ne e se go bonala ga gagwe fela mo go neng ga re itumedisa, mme le mafoko a o neng a a tlisa ka lobaka lo lo ntle lo a neng a na le lona ka lone. Fa a mpolelela ka fa lo neng lo ntebeletse ka teng, le ka fa lo neng lo hutsahetse ka teng ka ga se se neng se diragetse, le kaga boammaaruri jwa lona le lorato mo go nna, jalo, ka itumela thata!
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
Ga ke tlhole ke utlwa botlhoko ka go bo ke lo romeletse lokwalo loo, ntswa ke ne ka utlwa botlhoko ka lobakanyana ke lemoga ka fa go neng go tlaa lo utlwisa botlhoko ka teng. Mme go ne go lo tlhokofaditse ka lobakanyana fela.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
Jaanong ke a itumela ka ke lo lo romeletse, e seng ka ntlha ya gore e lo utlwisitse botlhoko, mme e leng ka ntlha ya gore le kutlo-botlhoko e lo buseditse mo Modimong. E ne e le khutsafalo e e siameng e lo e utlwileng, khutsafalo e Modimo o batlang batho ba one ba nna nayo gore ke se ka ka tla mo go lona ka kgakalo.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Gonne ka dinako tse dingwe Modimo o dirisa bofutsana mo matshelong a rona go re thusa go ikwatlhaela sebe le go batla botshelo jo bosakhutleng. Re se ka ra utlwa botlhoko ka go bo romela ga one. Mme bohutsana jwa motho yo o seng Mokeresete ga se bohutsana jwa boikwatlhao jwa boammaaruri ebile ga bo kake jwa kganela loso lo lo sa khutleng.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
Bonang fela gore bo-molemo jwa khutsafalo e e tswang mo Modimong bo lo diretse go le kae! Ga lo tlhole lo kgotha magetla a lona mme lo ne lwa tlhwaafala lwa ba lwa ikanyega, lwa ba lwa tlhwaafalela thata go tlogela boleo jo ke lo kwale-tseng kaga jone.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
Lo ne lwa tshoga kaga se se neng sa diragala, lwa ba lwa tlhwaafalela go tla go thusa, lo ne lwa baakanya matshwenyego lwa ba lwa a fenya lwa otlhaya monna jaaka ke ne ka dira gore Morena a tle a ntshupegetse selekanyo se lo re tlhokometseng ka sone. Seo e ne e le maikaelelo a me go thusa monna yo o leofileng, kgotsa rraagwe yo o mo diretseng phoso.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
Mo kgothatsong e lo re e neileng ka lorato lwa lona, re ne ra itumedisiwa ke boitumelo jwa ga Tito ka fa lo neng lwa mo amogela sentle ka teng lwa ba lwa dira gore a ikutlwe a le mo gae.
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
Ke mmoleletse ka fa go tlaa nnang ka teng, ke mmoleletse pele ga a ntlogela ka boikgantsho jwa me ka lona, mme ga lo a ka lwa ntlhabisa ditlhong, ke ne ke aga ke lo bolelela boammaaruri ka metlha yotlhe, mme jaanong boikgantsho jwa me ka Tito le jone bo supile boammaaruri!
15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
O lo rata thata bogolo go gaisa fa a gakologelwa ka fa lo neng lo mo reeditse ka teng ka lorato, ebile lo mo amogetse ka tlhwaafalo le ka lorato lo lo hakgamatsang.
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
Mo go intumedisa jang, ka ntlha ya gore jaanong ke tlhomamisa gore rotlhe go siame mo go rona, gape ke ka nna le boikanyo mo go lona.
