1 Peter 4
1 Christ, then, having suffered in flesh, do, ye also, with the same purpose, arm yourselves, —because, he that hath suffered in flesh, hath done with sins, —
E re ka Keresete a bogile a bile a utlwisitswe botlhoko, le lona lo tshwanetse go boga fela jaaka a bogile; lo tshwanetse go ipaakanyetsa go boga, le lona. Mme ke gone gakologelwang gore fa mebele ya lona e boga, sebe se latlhegelwa ke nonofo ya sone.
2 To the end that, no longer, in men’s covetings, but in God’s will, ye may live, the still remaining time.
Mme ga lo kitla lo senya lobaka lwa lona ka go tsamaya mo dithatong tse di bosula, mme lo tlaa tlhwaafalela go dira go rata ga Modimo.
3 For, sufficient, is the bygone time—to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine-drinkings, revellings, drinking-bouts, and impious idolatries: —
Ka lobaka lo lo fetileng lo dirile dilo tse di bosula tse batho ba ba sa itseng Modimo ba di itumelelang ebong, boaka, dithato tsa nama, go nwa bojalwa, mediro ya boitaolo, botlhapelwa, le kobamelo ya medimo ya disetwa, le dibe tse dingwe tse di maswe.
4 Wherein they are taken by surprise that ye run not with them into the same overflow of riotous excess, —uttering defamation:
Ee, ditsala tsa lona tsa pele di tlaa hakgamala thata fa lo sa tlhole lo tlhakana le bone mo dilong tse di bosula tse ba di dirang, mme ba tlaa lo tshega ka tshotlo ba bo ba lo nyatsa.
5 Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead;
Mme gakologelwang gore, ba tshwanetse go lebagana le moatlhodi wa botlhe, batshedi le baswi; ba tlaa otlhaelwa tsela e ba tshedileng ka yone.
6 For, unto this end, even unto the dead, was the glad-message delivered, —in order that they might be judged, indeed, according to men in flesh, but might live according to God in spirit.
Ke gone ka moo Mafoko a a Molemo a reretsweng le e leng bone ba ba suleng, ba ba bolailweng ke morwalela, gore le fa mebele ya bone e otlhailwe ka loso, ba bo ba ka nna ba tshela mo meweng ya bone jaaka Modimo o tshela.
7 But, the end of all things, hath drawn near: —be of sound mind, therefore, and be sober for prayers;
Bokhutlo jwa lefatshe bo e tla ka bonako. Jalo nnang batho ba ba tlhwaafetseng ba ba rapelang.
8 Before all things, keeping, fervent, your love, among yourselves, because, love, covereth a multitude of sins;
Mo godimo ga tsone tsotlhe, tswelelang mo go supeng lorato lo logolo mo go ba bangwe, gonne lorato lo bipa melato e mentsi ya lona.
9 Showing hospitality one to another without murmuring, —
Itumeleleng go nna mo malapeng a lona le ba ba tlhokang dijo kgotsa marobalo.
10 Each one, according as he hath received a gift of favour, unto one another, ministering the same, as careful stewards of the manifold favour of God:
Modimo o neile mongwe le mongwe wa lona dinonofo tse di faphegileng; tlhomamisang go di dirisa go thusa ba bangwe, lo bolelela ba bangwe masego a Modimo a mantsi.
11 If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth, —that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, —unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
A o bileditswe go rera? Jalo rera fela jaaka ekete Modimo o ne a bua ka wena. A o bileditswe go thusa ba bangwe? Go dire ka thata yotlhe le nonofo e Modimo o e go nayang, gore Modimo o tle o galalediwe ka Jesu Keresete; a go nne kgalalelo kwa go ene ka metlha le metlha, Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved! be not held in surprise by the burning among you, which, for putting you to the proof, is befalling you, as though a, surprising, thing were happening unto you;
Ditsala tse di rategang, lo se etsaetsege, kgotsa lwa hakgamala fa lo tsena mo ditekong tse di molelo tse di kwa pele, gonne mo ga se mo go sa itsiweng, selo se se sa tlwaelesegang se, se tlaa lo diragalela.
13 But, in so far as ye are taking fellowship in the Christ’s sufferings, rejoice! in order that, in the revealing of his glory also, ye may rejoice with exultation:
Mo boemong jwa mo, itumeleng, gonne diteko tse di tlaa lo dira bapati ba ga Keresete mo pogisong ya gagwe, mme morago lo tlaa nna le boipelo jo bo hakgamatsang jwa go tlhakanela kgalalelo ya gagwe mo letsatsing le le tlang fa le bonadiwa.
14 If ye are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy [are ye]! Because, the Spirit, of the glory, and the [Spirit] of God, unto you is bringing rest.
Itumele fa o hutsiwa o bo o tlhapadiwa ka ntlha ya go nna Mokeresete, gonne fa moo go diragala, Mowa wa Modimo o tlaa tla mo go wena ka kgalalelo e kgolo.
15 For let, none of you, be suffering as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as one prying into other men’s affairs;
A ke se ka ka utlwa ka go boga ga gago ka ntlha ya go bolaya kgotsa go utswa kgotsa go dira matshwenyego kgotsa go nna molotlhanyi kgotsa go tsena mo dilong tsa batho ba bangwe.
16 But, if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but be glorifying God in this name.
Mme ga go tlhabise ditlhong go bogela go nna Mokeresete. Baka Modimo ka ntlha ya tshwanelo ya go nna mo baneng ba ga Keresete, o bo o bidiwa ka leina la gagwe le lentle!
17 For it is the ripe time for the judgment to begin with the house of God; but, if first with us, what shall be the end of them who yield not unto the glad-message of God?
Gonne lobaka lwa katlholo lo tsile, mme lo tshwanetse go simologa pele mo baneng ba e leng ba Modimo. Mme fa rona ba re leng Bakeresete re tshwanetse go atlholwa, ke bokhutlo jo bo maswe jang jo bo letileng ba ba iseng ba ke ba dumele mo Modimong.
18 And, if, the righteous man, is, with difficulty, saved, where then shall, the ungodly and sinful man, appear?
Fa basiami ba sa bolokwe ka motlhofo, ba e seng ba Modimo bone ba ka nna le letshoba lefe la go bolokwa?
19 So then, let, them who are even suffering, according to the will of God, unto a faithful Creator, be committing their souls, in well-doing.
Jalo fa lo boga ka fa go rateng ga Modimo, tswelelang lo dire tshiamo lo ikanye Modimo o o lo bopileng, gonne ga o kake wa lo tlhabisa ditlhong.
