Bakorintha II 1
1 Ditsala tse di rategang, Lokwalo lo lo tswa mo go nna Paulo, yo o tlhomilweng ke Modimo go nna morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete; le mo go mokaulengwe wa rona yo o rategang Timotheo. Re lo kwalela lotlhe Bakeresete ba Korinta le Akaia yotlhe.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 A Modimo Rraetsho le Morena Jesu Keresete o segofatse mongwe le mongwe wa lona thata, o lo neye kagiso.
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Kana re na le Modimo o o hakgamatsangjang, ke Rraagwe Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, motswedi wa kutlwelo botlhoko nngwe le nngwe, ene yo ka kgakgamatso o re gomotsang a bo a re nonotsha mo bothateng jwa rona le mo ditekong. Mme ke eng fa a dira jaana? Gore ba bangwe ba ba tshwenyegileng ebile ba tlhoka kutlwelo botlhoko ya rona le kgothatso, re ba fe thuso e e ntseng jaana le kgomotso e Modimo o e re neileng.
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Lo ka tlhomamisa gore fa re ntse re bogela Keresete, o tlaa nna a re supegetsa kgomotso ya gagwe le kgothatso.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
6 Re mo matshwenyegong a magolo go lo tlisetsa kgomotso ya Modimo le poloko. Mme mo matshwenyegong a rona Modimo o re gomoditse ebile o re thusa gore re lo supegetse mo maitemogelong a rona ka fa Modimo o tlaa lo gomotsang ka kutlwelo botlhoko ka teng fa lo tsena mo dipogisong tse di tshwanang le tse. O tlaa lo naya nonofo go itshoka.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as all of you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall all of you be also of the consolation.
8 Ke bona gore lo tshwanetse go itse, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, kaga pitlagano e re neng ra feta mo go yone kwa Asia. Re ne re pitlaganye tota ebile re fentswe gotlhelele ebile re boifa gore ga re kake ra tshela mo go yone.
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Re ne re ikutlwa o ka re re atlholelwa go swa le go bona ka fa re neng re sena nonofo ka teng go ithusa; mme go ne go siame, gonne foo re ne ra baya sengwe le sengwe mo diatleng tsa Modimo, o ka osi o neng o ka re boloka, gonne o ka tsosa le bone baswi tota.
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
10 Mme o ne wa re thusa, wa re boloka mo losong, lo lo boitshegang; ee, re o lebeletse gore o re thuse gangwe le gape.
Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Mme lo tshwanetse go re thusa le lona, ka go re rapelela. Gonne ditebogo tse dikgolo le pako tse di tswang mo go lona a di tlaa ya kwa Modimong, di tswa kwa go lona ba lo boneng dikarabo tsa one tse di hakgamatsang mo dithapelong tsa lona tsa polokego!
All of you also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 Re itumela thata gore ka boikanyego jotlhe mo ditirong tsa rona tsotlhe re ne re itshekile ebile re le pelo e phepa, re ikanya mo Moreneng ka tshisibalo gore a re thuse, e seng ka fa botlhaleng jwa rona. Mme mo go boammaaruri jo bogolo, fa go kgonega, kaga mokgwa o re o dirisitseng mo go lona.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Dikwalo tsa me di ne di tlhamaletse ebile di ikanyega; ga go na sepe se se neng se sa kwalwa sentle! Mme le fa lo sa nkitse sentle (ke solofela gore letsatsi lengwe lo tlaa nkitse), ke batla go re lo nkamogele lo bo lo ikgantshe ka nna, jaaka lo setse lo ntse, fela jaaka ke tlaa ikgantsha ka lona mo letsatsing leo le Morena Jesu o tlang gape ka lone.
For we write no other things unto you, than what all of you read or acknowledge; and I trust all of you shall acknowledge even to the end;
As also all of you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as all of you also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 E ne e le ka ntlha ya go re ke ne ke rulagantse go tsena ka lona mo loetong lwa me go ya Masedonia, le morago jaaka fa ke tlaa bo ke bowa, gore ke ne ke ka nna tshegofatso e e menaganeng mo go lona le gore lo ka nthomela kwa Judea.
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that all of you might have a second benefit;
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
17 Mme lo ka botsa lwa re, a ke fetotse thulaganyo ya me? A tota ga ke a dira mogopolo wa me le fa go ntse jalo? Kgotsa ke tshwana le monna wa selefatshe yo o reng “ee” fa tota a raya “nnyaa”.
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18 Le goka! Jaaka ruri Modimo o le boammaaruri, ga ke motho yo o ntseng jalo. “Ee”, wa me ke “Ee”.
But as God is true, our word (logos) toward you was not yea and nay.
19 Timotheo le Selefano le nna re ntse re lo bolelela kaga Jesu Morwa Modimo. Ga se yo o reng “ee” fa a raya “nnyaa”. O aga a dira fela se a se buang.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 O a dira ebile o diragatsa ditsholofetso tsotlhe tsa Modimo, ga go re sepe gore di bontsi bo kae, go galaletsa leina la gagwe.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Ke one Modimo o, o o diretseng nna le wena mo tumelong ya Sekeresete le go re dira baaposetoloi go rera Mafoko a a Molemo.
Now he which establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
22 O beile lotshwao mo go rona, lotshwao lwa go nna ba one, wa bo wa re naya Mowa wa one O O Boitshepo mo dipelong tsa rona e le sesupo sa gore re ba one, e le tiragalo ya ntlha ya tsotlhe tse o tlaa re di nayang.
Who has also sealed us, and given the earn of the Spirit (pneuma) in our hearts.
23 Ke goeletsa kwa Modimong go ntshupela fa ke sa bue boammaaruri: Mabaka a a dirileng gore ke seka ka lo etela ke gore ga ke batle go lo utlwisa botlhoko ka kgalemelo e e botlhoko.
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Fa ke tla, le fa ke sa kake ka dira thata go thusa tumelo ya lona, gonne e setse e nonofile, ke batla go ka dira sengwe ka ga boipelo jwa lona: ke batla go lo itumedisa, e seng go lo utlwisa botlhoko.
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith all of you stand.
