Bakorintha II 11
1 Ke solofela gore lo tlaa nna pelotelele le nna fa ke ntse ke bua jaaka seeleele jaana. Ntetlang go bua se se mo pelong ya me.
BUT I could desire that you could tolerate me a little that I may speak foolishly.
2 Ke lo tlhwaafaletse ka tlhwaafalo ya Modimo, ke tlhwaafaletse gore lorato lwa lona e nne lwa ga Keresete a le nosi, fela jaaka kgarebane e e itshekileng e bolokela monna a le mongwe lorato lwa yone, yo e tlang nnang ene monna wa gagwe.
Nevertheless tolerate me, for I am zealous towards you with the zeal of Aloha; for I have betrothed you to one man, a pure virgin, whom I would bring unto the Meshiha.
3 Mme ke a boifa, ke tshaba gore ka tsela nngwe lo tlaa timediwa mo boitshekong jwa lona mo Moreneng, fela jaaka Efa a ne a tsiediwa ke Satane mo tshimong ya Edene.
But I fear lest, as the serpent deceived 'Hava by his guile, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is toward the Meshiha.
4 Lo lebega lo tsietsega ka bonako: lo dumela sengwe le sengwe se mongwe fela o se lo bolelelang le fa a rera kaga Jesu yo mongwe go na le yo re mo rerang, kgotsa mewa e e farologaneng go na le Mowa O O Boitshepo o lo o amogetseng, kgotsa a lo supegetsa tsela e sele ya go bolokwa. Lo dumela gotlhe.
For if he who hath come to you shall preach to you another Jeshu, whom we have not preached, or you receive another Spirit which you have not received or another gospel which you have not accepted, you would have been well persuaded.
5 Le fa go ntse jalo, ga ke bone gore “Barongwa ba ba hakgamatsang” ba ba ipitsang gore ba tswa kwa Modimong, ga ba nkgaise ka gope.
For I consider that I am nothing inferior to those apostles who are most excellent.
6 Fa ke le sebui se se bokoa, mme ke itse se ke buang kaga sone, jaaka ke akanya gore lo gopola jalo jaanong, gonne re go tlhomamisitse gangwe le gape.
For if I am rude in my speech, I yet am not in my knowledge; but in every thing we are manifest among you.
7 A ke kile ka dira phoso ka ingotla go dira gore lo ntebele kwa tlase ka ntlha ya gore ke lo reretse Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo kwa ntle ga go lo kopa sepe.
Or, offending have I offended in humbling myself that you may be exalted, and have gratuitously preached to you the gospel of Aloha?
8 Mo boemong jwa moo ke “thopile” diphuthego tse dingwe ka go tsaya se ba neng ba se nthomeletse mme ka se dirisa fa ke santse ke na le lona, gore ke tle ke lo direle kwa ntle ga tuelo epe. Mme fa moo go setse go fetile mme ke tshwerwe ke tlala, ke ne ke ntse ke sa lo kope sepe, gonne Bakeresete ba ba neng ba tswa kwa Masedonia ba ntletse mpho e nngwe. Ga ke ise nke ke lo kope le fa e le ledi ebile ga ke kitla ke dira jalo.
And other churches have I despoiled, receiving of them expenses, for your service.
And being come among you, I burdened no man of you; for my want the brethren who came from Makedunia supplied: and in every thing have I kept myself, and will keep, that I may not be burdensome to you.
10 Ke solofetsa se ka selekanyo sengwe le sengwe sa boammaaruri jo ke nang najo, gore ke tlaa bolelela mongwe le mongwe mo Akaia ka gone!
The truth of the Meshiha is in me, that this boasting shall not be abolished respecting me in the regions of Akaia.
11 Ka ntlha ya eng? A ke ka ntlha ya gore lwa re ga ke lo rate? Modimo o a itse gore ke a lo rata.
Why? because I love you not? Aloha himself knoweth!
12 Mme ke tlaa go dira gore ke tlhokise ba ba ipelafatsang seipato sa gore ba dira tiro ya Modimo jaaka re e dira.
But I do this, and also will do it, to cut off the occasion of them who seek an occasion, that in the thing in which they boast they may be found as we are.
13 Modimo ga o a roma batho bao gotlhelele; ke “batsietsi” ba ba lo tsietsang gore lo gopole gore ke baaposetoloi ba ga Keresete.
For these are apostles of falsehood and workers of deceits, assimilating themselves to the apostles of the Meshiha.
14 Le fa go ntse jalo ga ke hakgamale! Satane o ka iphetola moengele wa lesedi,
Nor in this may we wonder, if Satana himself be transformed into an angel of light.
15 jalo ga go hakgamatse gore batlhanka ba gagwe ba ka dira jalo le bone, ba bonale jaaka baruti ba Modimo. Kwa bokhutlong ba tlaa amogela kotlhao nngwe le nngwe e e tshwanelang ditiro tsa bone tsa boikepo.
Nor is it a great thing if his ministers also are transformed into ministers of righteousness; -whose end will be according to their works.
16 Gape ke a lo kopa, se gopoleng gore ke latlhile botlhale jwa me go bua jaana; mme le fa lo gopola jalo, ntheetsang, nna seeleele, sematla, fa le nna ke ipelafatsa go se kae jaaka ba dira.
BUT I say again, Let no man think of me as a fool; or if otherwise, let him receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
17 Go ikgantsha mo go ntseng jalo ga se sengwe se Morena o se ntaoletseng go se dira, gonne ke dira jaaka seeleele se se senang tlhaloganyo.
The thing which I (now) speak, I do not speak in our Lord, but as in foolishness in this place of boasting.
18 Le fa go ntse jalo batho bao ba tsweletse ka go lo bolelela gore ba ditswerere go le kae, le nna ke tlaa tswelela jalo.
Because many boast in the flesh, I also will boast.
19 (Lo gopola gore lo botlhale thata, le fa go ntse jalo lo reetsa dieleele tseo; ka boitumelo; ga lo re sepe fa di lo dira makgoba a tsone di bo di tsaya sengwe le sengwe se lo nang naso, ba lo ja ntsoma, di lo faphamola sefatlhogo.
For you are content to listen to the feebleminded, you yourselves being wise.
For you are ruled by one who subjugates you, and by one who devours you, and by one who takes away from you, and by one who exalts himself over you, and by one who smites you on your faces!
21 Ketlhabiwa ke ditlhong gore ke re ga ke a nonofa mme ke le pelokgale jalo! Mme le fa e le eng se ba ka ipelafatsang ka sone, ke bua jaaka seeleele gape, ke ka ipelafatsa ka sone le nna).
As in abasement I speak; as though we were weak through defectiveness of mind, I speak. In whatever any man dareth, I also dare.
22 Ba ikgantsha gore ke Bahebera, a ke bone? Ee, le nna ke Mohebera, ebile ba re ke Baiseraele, batho ba ba itlhophetsweng ke Modimo? Le nna ke Moiseraele. Ebile ba re ke bo morwa Aberahame? Ee, le nna ke morwawe.
If they are Ebroyee, so am I; if they are Isroloyee, so am I; if they are the seed of Abraham, so am I;
23 Ba re ba direla Keresete? Mme ke mo diretse go feta! (A ke kile ka ipelafatsa jaana?) Ke dirile thata, ke golegilwe gantsinyana, ke iteilwe mo go senang palo, mme ka lebagana le loso gantsintsi.
if they are ministers of the Meshiha, -I speak with defectiveness of mind, -I exceed then! In labours I exceed them, in stripes I exceed them, in chains I exceed them, in deaths many times.
24 Makgetho a matlhano a a farologanyeng, Bajuta ba ntiteile dithupa di le masome a mararo le boferabongwe.
From the Jihudoyee, five times, forty (stripes) wanting one have I devoured;
25 Ke iteilwe ka dithobane gararo. Ka kgobotlediwa ka maje gangwe fela. Ka thubegelwa ke sekepe gararo, ka tlhola mo lewatleng bosigo jotlhe le letsatsi le le latelang.
three times with staves have I been beaten, once was I stoned, three times have I been in shipwreck, a day and a night without a ship have I been in the sea.
26 Ke tsamaile maeto a maleele a a lapisang ebile ke tsenye mo kotsing ya merwalela gantsi, mo bothukuthing, le mo go bagaetsho, Bajuta, le mo diatleng tsa Badichaba. Ke ne ka lebagana le dikotsi tse di diphatsa thata di tswa mo bathong ba bantsi ba metse le mo losong mo dikakeng le mo matsubutsubung a mawatle le mo bathong ba ba ipitsang bakaulengwe mo Moreneng mme e se bone.
In journeys many, in danger of rivers, in danger of robbers, in danger from my own race, in danger from the Gentiles; I have been in danger in cities, I have been in danger in the waste, in danger by sea, in danger from false brethren;
27 Ke tshedile ka letsapa, le ditlhabi le masigo ke sa robale. Ke bolailwe ke tlala gantsi le lenyora ka bo ka felelwa ke dijo; ke roromisitswe ke serame gantsi, ke sena diaparo tse di lekanyeng go nthuthafatsa.
in labour and weariness, in much watching, in hunger and thirst, in much fasting, in cold and in nakedness;
28 Jalo, mo godimo ga tse tsotlhe, ke na le tlhobaelo e e tsweletseng pele gore diphuthego di tsamaya jang:
besides the aboundings and the gathering which are upon me daily even my care which is for all the churches.
29 Ke mang yo e a reng a dirile phoso ke se ke ke mo utlwele botlhoko? Ke mang yo e a reng fa a wa ke se ke ke rate go thusa? Ke mang yo e a reng fa a utlwisitswe botlhoko mo moweng ke nne fela ke sa gakalele yo o mo utlwisitseng botlhoko?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I burn not?
30 Mme fa e le gore ke tshwanetse go ikgantsha, ke ka mpa ka ikgantsha kaga dilo tse di mpontshang bokoa jwa me.
If I must boast in my infirmities, I will boast.
31 Modimo, Rraagwe Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, yo o tshwanetseng go bakwa ka metlha le metlha, o a itse gore ke bolela boammaaruri. (aiōn g165)
Aloha, the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, the Blessed for ever and ever, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
32 Jaaka erile kwa Damaseko molaodi wa kgosi Aretase a mpeela badisa mo dikgorong tsa motse go ntshwara;
In Darmsuk the great force of Aretos the king kept the city of the Darmsukoyee to apprehend me.
33 mme ke ne ka falotshiwa ka thapo le seroto mo phatlheng ya lokotswana lo lo ageletseng motse mme jalo ka tswa! (A go itsege mo go golo!).
And from a window in a basket they sent me from the wall, and I was delivered from his hands.
