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 that if our earthly house of this body were dissolved, we have nevertheless a building that is by Aloha; a house which is not made with hands, in the heaven, eternal. (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 concerning this also we groan, and long to put on our house which is from heaven,
3 Gonne re tlaa bo re se mewa fela e e senang mebele.
if, when that we have clothed, we may not be found 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 now while we are in this house, we groan from the weight of it: yet are we not willing to cast it off, but to be clothed upon of it, that its mortality might be swallowed up in life.
5 Se ke se Modimo o re se baakanyeditseng, mme go tlhomamisa se, wa re naya Mowa wa one O O Boitshepo.
And he who prepareth us for this is Aloha, who hath given to us the earnest-pledge of his 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.
For therefore do we know and are persuaded, that so long as we remain in the body we are in pilgrimage from our Lord.
7 Re itse gore dilo tse di boammaaruri ka go dumela, e seng ka go bona.
For by faith we walk, 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.
On this account we confide, and long to pass away from the body, and to be with our 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.
We give diligence, that whether we are pilgrims or inhabitants, we may be pleasing unto 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 are all to stand before the tribunal of the Meshiha, that every man may be recompensed in his body (for) that which is done in it, whether of good or of 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.
THEREFORE, because we know the terror of our Lord, we persuade men; and to Aloha we are manifest; but I hope that to your minds also 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.
For we commend not ourselves again to you, but we give you cause to be boastful of us to them who in appearance boast, but 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 if we be beside ourselves, (it is) unto Aloha; and if we be right, (it is) unto you.
For the love of the Meshiha constraineth us, because we judge this, That if one for every man hath died, then (was) every man 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 for every man he died, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who on their behalf died and arose.
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.
And henceforth we no man know according to the flesh; and if we have known the Meshiha according to the flesh, yet from now we know not.
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!
Whoever therefore is in the Meshiha is a new creature; the old things have passed, and every thing hath become 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.
from Aloha, who hath reconciled us to himself in the Meshiha, and 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 Aloha is in the Meshiha, who hath reconciled the world with his greatness; and he hath not reckoned unto them their sins, and hath put 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.
WE are ambassadors then for the Meshiha, and as if Aloha himself besought you by us: instead of the Meshiha, therefore, we beseech, Be you reconciled unto Aloha.
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.
For Him who knew not sin, on our account hath he made sin, that we might be in him the righteousness of Aloha.
