2 Corinthians 2
1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
Ke ne ka ithaya ka re “Nnyaa, ga nke ke go dira. Ga ke na go ba utlwisa botlhoko ka loeto lo longwe lo lo botlhoko”.
2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
Gonne fa ke lo utlwisa botlhoko, ke mang yo o tlaa intumedisang? Ke lona ba lo tshwanetseng go go dira, mme lo ka intumedisa jang fa ke lo utlwisa botlhoko?
3 And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
Ke gone ka moo ke kwadileng jaaka ke ne ka kwala mo lokwalong lwa bofelo, gore lo tle lo tlhamalatse dilo pele ga ke tla. Mme fa ke tla, ga ke na go utlwisiwa botlhoko ke ba ba tshwanetseng go intumedisa thata. Ke ne ka tlhomamisa gore boitumelo jwa lona ke selo se le sengwe fela le jwa me gore ga lo kitla lo itumela fa e se ke tla ka boitumelo.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
Oo, kana ke ne ke sa rate jang go kwala lokwalo lole! Go batlile go mphatlola pelo thata mo ebileng ke lo bolelela ka boammaaruri gore ke ne ka lela. Ke ne ke sa batle go lo utlwisa botlhoko, mme ke ne ke tshwanetse go lo bontsha gore ke lo rata go le kae le go lo tlhokomela kaga se se neng se lo diragalela.
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
Gakologelwang gore monna yo ke neng ke kwala kaga gagwe, yo o tsositseng matshwenyego otlhe, ga a nkhutsafatsa jaaka lona lotlhe, ntswa ke na le seabe mo go sone le nna. Ga ke batle go nna thata mo go ene go feta jaaka ke tshwanetse. O otlhailwe thata ke go mo gana ga lona.
6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
Jaanong ke nako ya go mo itshwarela le go mo gomotsa. Fa go sa nne jalo o ka galakega thata a bo a ngodiega mo a se ka keng a fola.
8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
Tsweetswee, mmontsheng gore lo santse lo mo rata thata.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
Ke lo kwaletse jaaka ke ne ka dira gore ke tle ke bone go re go ka lo tsaya lobaka lo lo kae go nkutlwa.
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Messiah,
Fa lo itshwarela mongwe, ke a mo itshwarela le nna. Mme le fa e le eng se ke se itshwaretseng, (mo e leng gore le nna go nkamile) go itshwaretswe ka tetlelelo ya ga Keresete le gone go lo solegela molemo.
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Lebaka le lengwe la boitshwarelo ke go ikgapha mo go tsiediweng ke Satane; gonne re itse se o lekang go se dira.
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
Jalo e rile ke fitlha bokgakaleng jwa motse wa Terase, Morena a nnaya dinako tse di ntle tsa go rera Efangele.
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
Mme Tito, Mokaulengwe wa me yo o rategang, o ne a seyo go nkgatlhantsha, mme ka se ka ka nna le boiketlo mo pelong, ke hakgamatse gore o kae le gore o diragaletswe ke eng. Mme ka laela ka tlhamalalela kwa Masedonia go leka go mmona.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
Mme a go lebogwe Modimo! ka se Keresete a se dirileng, ka go re naya phenyo gore gongwe le gongwe fa re tsamayang teng a re dirise go bolelela ba bangwe kaga Morena le go anamisa Efangele jaaka setlolo se se monate.
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
Ka ntlha ya Modimo go na le monko o o monate mo matshelong a rona. Ke monko o o monate wa ga Keresete mo go rona, monko o o monate mo go ba ba bolokilweng le ba ba sa bolokwang mo tikologong yotlhe ya rona.
16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
Mo go ba ba sa bolokwang, re bonala jaaka monko o o boitshegang wa loso le tshenyego fa mo go ba ba itseng Keresete re le setlolo se se nayang botshelo. Mme ke mang yo o nonofetseng tiro e e ntseng jaaka e.
17 For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
Ke bao fela ba ba tshwanang le rona, batho ba ba itekanetseng ba ba romilweng ke Modimo, ba bua ka nonofo ya ga Keresete, le leitlho la Modimo le re okame. Ga re tshwane le ba ba bapalang ka Lefoko la Modimo, ebile ba bantsi thata, ba megopolo ya bone mo go tsamaiseng Efangele e leng ipapalelo ka yone.
