< Bakorintha II 4 >

1 Ke Modimo ka bo one, mo kutlwelong botlhoko ya one, yo o re neileng tiro e e hakgamatsang e, (ya go bolelela ba bangwe Mafoko a one a a Molemo), mme jalo ga re kake ra lesa.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:
2 Ga re leke go gogela batho ka boferefere mo go dumeleng, ga re na kgatlhego mo go tsietseng ope. Ga re ke re leka go gapa ope go dumela gore Baebele e ruta se e sa se ruteng. Ditsela tsotlhe tseo tsa matlhabisa ditlhong re di baketse. Re ema fa pele ga Modimo jaaka re bua mme jalo re bolele boammaaruri, jaaka botlhe ba re itseng ba tlaa dumela.
but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Fa Mafoko a a Molemo a re a rerang a siregetse bangwe, a siregetse yo o tsamayang mo tseleng e e isang losong lo lo sa khutleng.
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:
4 Satane, yo o leng modimo wa lefatshe le le bosula le, o mo foufaditse, ga a kgone go bona kgalalelo ya lesedi la Efangele e e phatsimang mo go ene, kgotsa go tlhaloganya molaetsa o o hakgamatsang o re o rerang kaga kgalalelo ya ga Keresete, yo e leng Modimo. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them]. (aiōn g165)
5 Ga re tsamaye re rera kaga rona, mme fa e se ka ga Keresete Jesu jaaka Morena. Gotlhe mo re go buang ka ga rona ke gore re batlhanka ba lona ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se re diretseng.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 Gonne Modimo, o o rileng, “A go nne lesedi mo lefifing”, o dirile gore re tlhaloganye gore ke phatshimo ya kgalalelo ya one e e bonalang mo sefatlhogong sa ga Jesu Keresete.
Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Mme khumo e ya botlhokwa, lesedi le, le nonofo e jaanong e phatshimang mo go rona, e tshotswe ka setsholo se se nyelelang, se e leng mebele ya rona e e bokoa. Mongwe le mongwe o ka bona gore nonofo ya kgalalelo e e mo go rona e tshwanetse ya bo e tswa kwa Modimong mme ga se ya rona.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;
8 Re pitlagantswe mo ntlheng tsotlhe ke ma-tshwenyego, mme ga go re dire sepe. Re akabetse ka gore ga re itse gore ke eng fa dilo di direga jaana, mme ga re kgobege marapo re tlogele.
[we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
9 Re a tsongwa, mme Modimo ga o re latlhe. Re digelwa fa fatshe, mme re tsoge re tswelele pele.
pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;
10 Mebele e ya rona ka metlha yotlhe e lebaganye le loso fela jaaka wa ga Jesu Keresete o dirile; jalo go bonala sentle mo go botlhe gore ke Keresete yo o tshelang mo go rona (yo o re babalelang).
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
11 Ee, re tshelela mo kotsing ka metlha yotlhe mo matshelong a rona ka ntlha ya go direla Morena, mme se se re naya nako ka metlha go supela pele nonofo ya ga Jesu Keresete mo mebeleng ya rona e e swang.
For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 Ka ntlha ya go rera ga rona, re lebagane le loso, mme go feletse ele botshelo jwa lona jo bosakhutleng.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 Re bua ka bopelokgale ka se re se dumelang (re tshepa Modimo go re tlhokomela), fela jaaka mokwadi wa Pesalema a ne a bua a re, “Ke a dumela ebile jalo ke a bua.”
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;
14 Re a itse gore Modimo o o tsositseng Morena Jesu mo losong, le rona o tlaa re busetsa gape mo botshelong le Jesu, o bo o re baya fa pele ga one le lona.
knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 Dipogiso tse tsa rona ke poelo mo go lona. Mme fa lo ntse lo ntsifala ka go gapelwa mo Moreneng, lo tlaa mo leboga ka bontsi ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya gagwe e kgolo, le Morena o tlaa galalediwa thata.
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.
16 Ke gone ka moo re sa kgobegeng marapo. Le fa mebele ya rona e e swa, go nonofa ga rona kafa teng mo Moreneng, go gola letsatsi le letsatsi.
Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.
17 Matshwenyego a le dipogiso tsa rona, a mannye ebile ga a tseye lobaka lo lo leele. Le fa go ntse jalo lobaka lo lo khutshwane lo lwa bohutsana lo tlaa felela mo tshegofatsong e kgolo ya Modimo mo go rona ka metlha le metlha! (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Jalo ga re lebe se re ka se bonang jaanong jaana, matshwenyego a re dikanyeditse, mme re lebeletse pele boitumelo mo legodimong jo re iseng re ke re bo bone. Matshwenyego a tloga a fela, mme boitumelo jo bo tlang bo tlaa nnela ruri. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
