Bakorintha II 3
1 A re simolola go nna jaaka baruti bao ba lona ba ba maaka ba ba tshwanetseng go lo bolelela gotlhe kaga bone le go tla le dikwalo tse di telele tsa go itshupa? Ke dumela gore ga lo tlhoke lwa ga ope go lo bolelela ka ga rona, a ga go a nna jalo! Mme ga re tlhoke kgakololo epe mo go lona!
Are we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Or do we need, like some others, letters of recommendation to you, or letters of recommendation from you?
2 Lokwalo loo lo ke lo batlang fela, ke lona ka bolona! Ka go leba phetogo e e molemo mo dipelong tsa lona, mongwe le mongwe o ka bona gore re dirile tiro e ntle mo go lona.
Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3 Ba ka bona gore lo lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go Keresete, lo lo kwadilweng ke rona, ga se lokwalo lo lo kwadilweng ka pene le enke, fa e se ka Mowa wa Modimo o o tshedileng; e seng lo lo gabilweng mo lefikeng, fa e se mo dipelong tsa batho.
since ye are manifestly shown to be a letter of Christ by means of our service, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.
4 Re bua dilo tse di siameng tse kaga rona fela ka ntlha ya tshepho ya rona e kgolo mo Modimong ka Keresete, gore o tlaa re thusa go nna boammaaruri mo go se re se buang,
And such confidence as this have we through Christ toward God;
5 mme e seng ka ntlha ya gore re gopola re ka dira sengwe le sengwe se se sa feleng ka borona. Nonofo le phenyo ya rona e tswa fela mo Modimong.
not that we are able of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God;
6 Ke one o o re thusitseng go bolelela ba bangwe Kgolagano e ncha go ba boloka. Ga re ba bolelele gore ba tshwanetse go utlwa molao mongwe le mongwe wa Modimo kgotsa ba swe; mme re ba bolelela gore ba na le botshelo mo Moweng O O Boitshepo. Tsela ya bogologolo ya go leka go bolokwa ka go tshegetsa Ditaolo tse di Lesome, e felela mo losong; mo tseleng e ncha, Mowa O O Boitshepo o ba naya botshelo.
who also gave us ability to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
7 Le fa tsamaiso ya molao wa bogologolo o o neng o isa losong e simologile ka kgalalelo e e kalo mo batho ba neng ba ka se ka ba leba sefatlhogo sa ga Moshe. Gonne jaaka a ne a ba neile melao ya Modimo go e utlwa, sefatlhogo sa gagwe se ne se phatsima ka kgalalelo e le nngwe le ya Modimo, le fa phatsimo e ne e setse e fifala.
But if the ministration of death, engraven in letters on stones, was so glorious, that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses by reason of the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away,
8 A ga re kitla re lebelela kgalalelo e kgolo mo malatsing a no fa Mowa O O Boitshepo o naya botshelo?
shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious?
9 Fa e ne e le gore leano le le isang tshenyegong le ne le galalela, kgalalelo e kgolo ke leano le le dirang batho go nna tshiamo le Modimo
For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.
10 Mme tota, kgalalelo eo ya ntlha e e phatsimileng mo sefatlhogong sa ga Moshe ga e na mosola gotlhelele fa e tshwantshiwa le kgalalelo e e feteletseng ya Kgolagano e Ncha.
For even that which was made glorious hath ceased to be glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory by which it is exceeded.
11 Jalo fa mokgwa wa bogologolo o o nyeletseng o ne o tletse kgalalelo ya legodimo, kgalalelo ya leano le lesha la Modimo la poloko ya rona le legolo thata, gonne le ka bosakhutleng.
For if that which was to be done away was glorious, much more glorious is that which endureth.
12 Ere ka re itse gore kgalalelo e ncha e, ga e kitla e nyelela, re ka ruta ka bopelokgale jo bogolo,
Having therefore such hope, we use great plainness of speech;
13 mme e seng jaaka Moshe a ne a dira, yo o neng a baya letsela mo sefatlhogong sa gagwe gore Baiseraele ba se ka ba bona kgalalelo e tloga.
and do not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the end of that which was to be done away.
14 Ga se sefatlhogo sa ga Moshe fela se se neng sa bipiwa, mme megopolo ya batho ba gagwe le ditlhaloganyo tsa bone le tsone di ne tsa bipiwa tsa ba tsa fifadiwa. Le jaanong fa lokwalo lo balwa go lebega e ka re dipelo tsa Bajuta le megopolo ya bone di bipilwe ka sesiro se se bokete, gonne ga ba kgone go bona ba bo ba tlhaloganya tlhaloso tota ya Dikwalo. Gonne sesiro se sa go tlhoka go tlhaloganya se ka tlosiwa fela ke go dumela mo go Keresete.
But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled to them that it is done away in Christ;
15 Ee, le gompieno fa ba bala mekwalo ya ga Moshe dipelo tsa bone di fifetse ebile ba akanya gore go obamela Melao e e lesome ke yone tsela ya poloko.
but even till this day, when Moses is read, there lieth a veil upon their heart;
16 Mme le fa e le leng mongwe a sokologela mo Moreneng a tswa mo dibeng tsa gagwe, hong sesiro se a tlosiwa.
but whenever it turneth to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Morena ke Mowa o o ba nayang botshelo, mme fa ene a leng teng go na le kgololesego (mo go lekeng go bolokwa ka go tshegetsa melao ya Modimo.)
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Mme rona Bakeresete ga re na sesiro mo difatlhogong tsa rona; re ka nna diipone tse di bonatsang kgalalelo ya Morena sentle. Mme e re ka Mowa wa Morena o dira mo go rona, re tswelela thata re nna jaaka ene.
But we all with unveiled face beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.
