2 Corinthians 6

1 And working together [with him] we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain

Mme jaaka badiri le Modimo re lo kopa gore lo se phaile molaetsa o o hakgamatsang wa bopelonomi jo bogolo ja Modimo.

2 (for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succour thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation):

Gonne Modimo wa re, “Selelo sa lona se tsile mo go nna ka nako e e tshwanetseng, fa dikgoro tsa kamogelo di ne di atlhame. Ke lo thusitse ka letsatsi le poloko e neng e abiwa ka lone.” Gone jaanong Modimo o ipaakanyeditse go lo amogela. Gompieno o ipaakanyeditse go lo boloka.

3 giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

Re leka go tshela ka tsela e e siameng gore ope a se ka a dira molato kgotsa a boela kwa morago mo go batleng Morena ka tsela e re dirang ka yone, gore ope a se ka a re bona molato a ba a o baya mo Moreneng.

4 but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

Mme tota, mo go sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang, re leka go supa gore re baruti ba boamaaruri ba Modimo. Ka bobelotelele re itshokela pogiso le mathata matshwenyego a mefuta yotlhe.

5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

Re iteilwe, ra tsenngwa mo dikgolegelong, ra lebagana le bo nko-di-aboga, ra dira thata, ra nna re lebeletse mo masigong re sa robale, ra ba ra ikitsa dijo.

6 in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Ghost, in love unfeigned,

Re itshupile go nna se re se ipitsang ka matshelo otlhe a rona le ka go tlhaloganya Efangele le ka bobelotelele jwa rona. Re ntse re le tshiamo le boamaaruri jwa lorato le go tladiwa ka Mowa O O Boitshepo.

7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

Re ntse re le boammaaruri ka nonofo ya Modimo e re thusa mo go tsotlhe tse re di dirang. Ditlhabano tsotlhe tsa motho yo o boifang Modimo, ditlhabano tsa phemelo, le ditlhabano tsa go tlhasela, e ntse e le tsa rona.

8 by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and [yet] true;

Re emetse Morena ka boammaaruri le fa bangwe ba re tlotla kgotsa ba re nyatsa, le fa ba re tshwaya diphoso kgotsa ba re baka. Re a ikanyega, mme ba re bitsa baaki.

9 as unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

Lefatshe le a re itlhokomolosa, mme re itsiwe ke Modimo; re tshela gaufi le loso, mme ke rona ba, re santse re itekanetse. Re ne ra bolaesega mme ra bolokesega mo losong.

10 as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.

Dipelo tsa rona di botlhoko, mme le fa gontse jalo re na le boitumelo jwa Morena. Re humanegile, mme re abela ba bangwe dimpho tse di kgolo tse di humileng tsa semowa. Ga re a itsholela sepe, mme le fa go ntse jalo re itumelela sengwe le sengwe.

11 Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

Oo, ditsala tsa me tsa Korintha! “Ke lo boleletse maikutlo ame otlhe; ke lo rata ka pelo yame yotlhe”.

12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections.

Botsididi jo bo sa leng teng mo gare ga rona ga se ka ntlha ya tlhaelo epe ya lorato ka fa ntlheng ya me, mme ka gore lorato lwa lona lo lo nnye thata jalo ga lo nkame go ntsenya mo teng.

13 Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto [my] children), be ye also enlarged.

Ke bua le lona jaa-nong jaaka ekete lo bana ba e leng ba me. Re buleleng dipelo tsa lona! Re supegetseng lorato!

14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?

Lo se tlhakane le ba ba sa rateng Morena, gonne batho ba Modimo ba ka tlhakanela eng le baleofi? Lesedi le ka nna jang le lefifi?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?

Mme ke bokopano bofe jo bo ka nnang mo gare ga ga Keresete le Diabolo. Mokeresete o ka nna le botsalano jang le motho yo o sa dumeleng.

16 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Mme go ka nna le bokopano bofe fa gare ga Tempele ya Modimo le medimo ya disetwa? Gonne lo Tempele ya Modimo, legae la Modimo o o tshelang, mme Modimo o buile kaga lona jaana wa re, “Ke tlaa nna mo go bone, ke bo ke tsamaya mo go bone, mme ba tlaa nna batho bame le nna ke tlaa nna Modimo wa bone.”

17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,

Ke gone ka mo Morena o boileng a re, “Ba leseng; ikgaoganyeng le bone; lo se ka lwa ama dilo tsa bone tse di maswe (makgapha), mme ke tlaa lo amogela,

18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Ke tlaa nna Rraalona, le lona lo tlaa nna bomorwaake le bo-morwadiake.”
