Bakorintha II 5
1 Gonne re itse gore fa motlaagana (mmele) o, o re nnang mo go one o rutlololwa, fa ree swa re tlogela mebele e, re tlaa nna le mebele e mesha e mentle kwa legodimong, magae a e tlaa nnang a rona ka bosakhutleng, a re a diretsweng ke Modimo, e seng ka diatla tsa batho. (aiōnios g166)
For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Re lapisiwa ke mebele ya rona; ke gone ka moo re lebeletseng letsatsi thata le re tlaa nnang le mebele ya selegodimo e re tlaa e aparang jaaka diaparo tse dintsha.
For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.
3 Gonne re tlaa bo re se mewa fela e e senang mebele.
Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.
4 Mebele e ya selefatshe e re dira gore re fegelwe re bo re gogomoge, mme ga re nke re rata go akanya kaga loso le go tlhoka mebele gotlhelele. Re batla go nna mo mebeleng e mesha ya rona gore mebele e e swang, e, jaaka e ne e ntse, e tle e mediwe ke botshelo jo bosakhutleng.
For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Se ke se Modimo o re se baakanyeditseng, mme go tlhomamisa se, wa re naya Mowa wa one O O Boitshepo.
Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.
6 Jaanong re lebeletse ka boikanyego mebele ya rona ya selegodimo, re lemoga gore nako nngwe le nngwe e re e senyang mo mebeleng e eya selefa-tshe ke nako e e senyegileng mo legaeng la rona la bosakhutleng kwa legodimong le Jesu.
Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
7 Re itse gore dilo tse di boammaaruri ka go dumela, e seng ka go bona.
(For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)
8 Le gone ga re boife, mme re itumelela go swa, gonne re tlaa bo re le kwa gae le Morena.
But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Jalo maikemisetso a rona ke go mo itumedisa ka metlha yotlhe mo go sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang, le fa re le fano mo mmeleng o, kgotsa re le kgakala le mmele o, mme re na le ene kwa legodimong.
And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
10 Gonne re tshwanetse rotlhe go ema fa pele ga ga Keresete go atlholwa le matshelo a rona go bewa mo pepeneneng fa pele ga gagwe. Mongwe le mongwe wa rona o tlaa amogela sengwe le sengwe se se mo tshwanetseng sa dilo tse di molemo kgotsa tse di maswe tse o di dirileng mo mmeleng wa gagwe wa selefatshe.
For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
11 Ke ka ntlha ya go boifa Morena ka tlhwaafalo, e e nnang ka metlha yotlhe mo megopolong ya rona, gore re dire thata go gapa ba bangwe. Mo-dimo o itse dipelo tsa rona, gore di itshekile mo selong se, ebile ke solofela gore, mo botennyeng jwa dipelo tsa lona, le lona lo a bo itse.
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.
12 A re leka go ikopaopela mo mekwatleng gape? Nnyaa, ke lo naya ditlhabano tse di siameng! Lo ka di dirisa mo barering bao ba lona ba ba ikgantshang ka go bonala sentle le go rera ga bone, mme ba se na dipelo tsa boammaaruri tsa boikanyego. Lo ka ipelafatsa ka rona ka gore, re ikaeletse sentle ebile re a ikanyega.
We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf; that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart.
13 A re a tsenwa (go bua dilo tse kaga rona)? Fa go ntse jalo, ke go tlisa kgalalelo mo Modimong. Mme fa re le mo megopolong ya rona e e siameng, ke thusego mo go lona. Sengwe le sengwe se re se dirang, ga se poelo ya rona, mme ke ka ntlha ya lorato lwa ga Keresete lo lo re laolang jaanong. Ka re dumela gore Keresete o re swetse rotlhe, re tshwanetse go dumela gore le rona re sule mo botshelong jo bogologolo jo re neng re bo tshela.
For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.
For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.
15 O swetse botlhe gore botlhe ba ba tshelang, ba amogele botshelo jo bosakhutleng mo go Ene, ba se ka ba tlhola ba itshelela, go iitumedisa, mme e le go dirisa matshelo a bone go itumedisa Keresete yo o ba swe-tseng a bo a ba tsogela.
And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.
16 Jalo lesang go sekaseka Bakeresete ka se lefatshe le se akanyang kaga bone kgotsa ka fa ba bonalang ba ntse ka teng ka fa ntle. Ke kile ka fosa ka go akanyetsa Keresete ka mokgwa oo, e le motho fela jaaka nna. Ke ikutlwa ke fetogile jang jaanong.
Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer.
17 Fa mongwe a nna Mokeresete o nna motho yo mosha mo teng gotlhelele. Ga a tlhole a tshwana le jaaka pele. Botshelo jo bosha bo simologile!
If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.
18 Dilo tse tsotlhe tse dintsha di tswa mo Modimong o o re buseditseng mo go one ka se Keresete Jesu a se dirileng. Mme Modimo o re neile tshwanelo ya go tlhotlheletsa mongwe le mongwe go tla mo thatong ya one le go letlanngwa nae.
But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 Gonne Modimo o ne o le mo go Keresete, go busetsa lefatshe mo go one, o sa tlhole o bala dibe tsa batho fa e se go di phimola. O ke molaetsa o montle o o o re neetseng go o bolelela ba bangwe.
For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.
20 Re barongwa ba ga Keresete. Modimo o a re dirisa go bua le lona: re a lo Kopa, jaanong ekete Keresete ka bo ene o fano o a lo kopa, amogelang lorato lo o lo lo nayang, nnang le tetlano le Modimo.
For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God.
21 Gonne Modimo o tshotse Keresete yo o senang boleo mme a tshela mo go ene dibe tsa rona. Ke gone, mo kananyong, o tshetseng tshiamo ya one mo go rona.
Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.
