2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Gonne re itse gore fa motlaagana (mmele) o, o re nnang mo go one o rutlololwa, fa ree swa re tlogela mebele e, re tlaa nna le mebele e mesha e mentle kwa legodimong, magae a e tlaa nnang a rona ka bosakhutleng, a re a diretsweng ke Modimo, e seng ka diatla tsa batho. (aiōnios g166)
2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
Re lapisiwa ke mebele ya rona; ke gone ka moo re lebeletseng letsatsi thata le re tlaa nnang le mebele ya selegodimo e re tlaa e aparang jaaka diaparo tse dintsha.
3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
Gonne re tlaa bo re se mewa fela e e senang mebele.
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Mebele e ya selefatshe e re dira gore re fegelwe re bo re gogomoge, mme ga re nke re rata go akanya kaga loso le go tlhoka mebele gotlhelele. Re batla go nna mo mebeleng e mesha ya rona gore mebele e e swang, e, jaaka e ne e ntse, e tle e mediwe ke botshelo jo bosakhutleng.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Se ke se Modimo o re se baakanyeditseng, mme go tlhomamisa se, wa re naya Mowa wa one O O Boitshepo.
6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Jaanong re lebeletse ka boikanyego mebele ya rona ya selegodimo, re lemoga gore nako nngwe le nngwe e re e senyang mo mebeleng e eya selefa-tshe ke nako e e senyegileng mo legaeng la rona la bosakhutleng kwa legodimong le Jesu.
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Re itse gore dilo tse di boammaaruri ka go dumela, e seng ka go bona.
8 We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
Le gone ga re boife, mme re itumelela go swa, gonne re tlaa bo re le kwa gae le Morena.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
Jalo maikemisetso a rona ke go mo itumedisa ka metlha yotlhe mo go sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang, le fa re le fano mo mmeleng o, kgotsa re le kgakala le mmele o, mme re na le ene kwa legodimong.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Gonne re tshwanetse rotlhe go ema fa pele ga ga Keresete go atlholwa le matshelo a rona go bewa mo pepeneneng fa pele ga gagwe. Mongwe le mongwe wa rona o tlaa amogela sengwe le sengwe se se mo tshwanetseng sa dilo tse di molemo kgotsa tse di maswe tse o di dirileng mo mmeleng wa gagwe wa selefatshe.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
Ke ka ntlha ya go boifa Morena ka tlhwaafalo, e e nnang ka metlha yotlhe mo megopolong ya rona, gore re dire thata go gapa ba bangwe. Mo-dimo o itse dipelo tsa rona, gore di itshekile mo selong se, ebile ke solofela gore, mo botennyeng jwa dipelo tsa lona, le lona lo a bo itse.
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
A re leka go ikopaopela mo mekwatleng gape? Nnyaa, ke lo naya ditlhabano tse di siameng! Lo ka di dirisa mo barering bao ba lona ba ba ikgantshang ka go bonala sentle le go rera ga bone, mme ba se na dipelo tsa boammaaruri tsa boikanyego. Lo ka ipelafatsa ka rona ka gore, re ikaeletse sentle ebile re a ikanyega.
13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
A re a tsenwa (go bua dilo tse kaga rona)? Fa go ntse jalo, ke go tlisa kgalalelo mo Modimong. Mme fa re le mo megopolong ya rona e e siameng, ke thusego mo go lona. Sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang, ga se poelo ya rona, mme ke ka ntlha ya lorato lwa ga Keresete lo lo re laolang jaanong. Ka re dumela gore Keresete o re swetse rotlhe, re tshwanetse go dumela gore le rona re sule mo botshelong jo bogologolo jo re neng re bo tshela.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
O swetse botlhe gore botlhe ba ba tshelang, ba amogele botshelo jo bosakhutleng mo go Ene, ba se ka ba tlhola ba itshelela, go iitumedisa, mme e le go dirisa matshelo a bone go itumedisa Keresete yo o ba swe-tseng a bo a ba tsogela.
16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.
Jalo lesang go sekaseka Bakeresete ka se lefatshe le se akanyang kaga bone kgotsa ka fa ba bonalang ba ntse ka teng ka fa ntle. Ke kile ka fosa ka go akanyetsa Keresete ka mokgwa oo, e le motho fela jaaka nna. Ke ikutlwa ke fetogile jang jaanong.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
Fa mongwe a nna Mokeresete o nna motho yo mosha mo teng gotlhelele. Ga a tlhole a tshwana le jaaka pele. Botshelo jo bosha bo simologile!
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Dilo tse tsotlhe tse dintsha di tswa mo Modimong o o re buseditseng mo go one ka se Keresete Jesu a se dirileng. Mme Modimo o re neile tshwanelo ya go tlhotlheletsa mongwe le mongwe go tla mo thatong ya one le go letlanngwa nae.
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Gonne Modimo o ne o le mo go Keresete, go busetsa lefatshe mo go one, o sa tlhole o bala dibe tsa batho fa e se go di phimola. O ke molaetsa o montle o o o re neetseng go o bolelela ba bangwe.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Re barongwa ba ga Keresete. Modimo o a re dirisa go bua le lona: re a lo Kopa, jaanong ekete Keresete ka bo ene o fano o a lo kopa, amogelang lorato lo o lo lo nayang, nnang le tetlano le Modimo.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Gonne Modimo o tshotse Keresete yo o senang boleo mme a tshela mo go ene dibe tsa rona. Ke gone, mo kananyong, o tshetseng tshiamo ya one mo go rona.
