Baefesia 2
1 Lo kile lwa bo lo hutsitswe ke Modimo, lo atlholetswe loso lwa bosakhutleng ka ntlha ya dibe tsa lona.
And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 Lo ne lo tsamaya le bontsintsi jwa batho mme lo ne lo tshwana fela le ba bangwe botlhe, lo tletse boleo, lo ikobela Satane, kgosana e kgolo ya nonofo ya loapi, e e dirang mo dipelong tsa ba ba kgatlhanong le Morena gone jaanong. (aiōn g165)
in which ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
3 Rotlhe re kile ra bo re ntse fela jaaka ba ntse, matshelo a rona a supa bosula jo bo mo go rona, re dira sengwe le sengwe sa boikepo se dikeletso tsa rona kgotsa megopolo ya rona e e bosula e neng e re gogela mo go sone. Re ne ra simolola ka bomaswe, re tsetswe ka ditlholego tse di bosula, ra bo ra nna mo bogaleng jwa Modimo fela jaaka mongwe le mongwe.
among whom also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.
4 Mme Modimo o humile kutlwelo botlhoko thata; o re ratile thata,
But God being rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith He loved us,
5 mo e leng gore le fa re ne re sule mo moweng ebile re atlholetswe loso lwa bosakhutleng ka ntlha ya dibe tsa rona, o ne wa re busetsa matshelo a rona fa o tsosa Keresete mo baswing fela ka ntlha ya kutlwelo botlhoko ya One e e neng e sa re tshwanela, re ne ra bolokelwa ruri,
hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,
6 wa bo wa re ntsha mo lebitleng wa re tsenya mo kgalalelong mmogo le Keresete, kwa re nnang teng le ene mo mannong a segosi a selegodimo ka ntlha ya se Keresete Jesu a se dirileng.
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
7 Mme jaanong Modimo ka malatsi otlhe o ka re supegetsa e le dikai tsa ka fa bopelonomi jwa one jo bontle bo ntseng ka teng; jaaka go supiwa mo go tsotlhe tse o re di diretseng ka Jesu Keresete. (aiōn g165)
That in the ages to come He might shew the superabundant riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Ka ntlha ya bopelonomi jwa one lo bolokilwe ka go ikanya Keresete. Mme le e leng go ikanya ga se ga lona ka bo lona; le gone ke mpho e e tswang kwa Modimong.
For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:
9 Poloko ga se tuelo ya tshiamo e re e dirileng, jalo he, ga gona ope wa rona yo o ka ipelafatsang ka yone.
for we are his workmanship,
10 Ke Modimo ka bo one o o re dirileng se re leng sone wa bo wa re naya matshelo a masha a a tswang kwa go Keresete Jesu; mme mo dingwageng tse dintsi tse di fetileng o ne wa loga leano la gore re tshwanetse go dirisa matshelo go thusa ba bangwe.
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.
11 Se lebaleng gore lo kile lwa bo lo le baheitane, le gore Bajuta ba ne ba lo bitsa batho ba ba senang Modimo, ba ba “leswe”. (Mme le bone dipelo tsa bone di ne di santse di le leswe, le fa ba ne ba tsena mo dingwaong le mo medirong ya basiami, gonne ba ne ba ithupisa e le sesupo sa bomodimo).
Wherefore remember that ye were formerly Gentiles in the flesh, called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;
12 Gakologelwang gore malatsing ao lo ne lo tshela kwa ntle ga ga Keresete; lo ne lo le baba ba bana ba Modimo mme o ne o sa lo solofetsa thuso epe. Lo ne lo latlhegile, lo sena Modimo, lo sena tsholofelo.
and ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus,
13 Mme jaanong lo ba ga Keresete, mme le fa lo kile lwa ne lo le kgakala le Modimo, jaanong lo tlisitswe gaufi le one ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se lo diretseng ka madi a gagwe.
ye, who were formerly afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 Gonne Keresete ka sebele ke tsela ya rona ya kagiso. O dirile kagiso fa gare ga rona Bajuta le lona Badichaba ka go re dira bana ba lolwapa lo le longwe, a diga lorako lwa kilano e e tletseng lonyatso e e neng e re kgaoganya.
For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us;
15 Ka loso lwa gagwe o khutlisitse tsogologano le pifelano fa gare ga rona, e e neng e dirwa ke melao ya Sejuta e e neng e sireleditse Bajuta fela e kgetholola Badichaba, gonne o swetse gore a phimole tsela eo yotlhe ya melao ya Sejuta. Mme a tsaya ditlhopha tse pedi tse di neng di sa utlwane a di dira ditokololo tsa gagwe; ka go dira jalo a re bopaganya go nna motho a le mongwe yo mosha, mme lwa bofelo ga nna kagiso.
having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might form the two into one new man, in Himself, so making peace;
16 Ka re le ditokololo tsa mmele wa gagwe, dikilano tsa rona di nyeletse, gonne rotlhe re letlantswe mo Modimong. Jalo he, lwa bofelo kgotlhang ya felela kwa mokgorong.
and that He might reconcile both in one body unto God, by the cross, having thereby slain the enmity:
17 Mme o rile Mafoko a a Molemo a, a kagiso kwa go lona Badichaba ba lo neng lo le kgakala thata nae, le kwa go rona Bajuta ba re neng re le gaufi.
and He came and preached peace to you that were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 Jaanong rotlhe fela, Bajuta kgotsa Badichaba, re ka tla kwa Modimong Rara ka thuso ya Mowa O O Boitshepo ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se re diretseng.
For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
19 Jaanong ga lo sa tlhole lo le baeng mo Modimong le bajaki mo legodimong, mme lo ba lolwapa lwa Modimo tota, ebile lo ba ntlo ya one mmogo le Bakeresete botlhe.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the houshold of God;
20 A motheo o montle o lo emeng mo go one jaanong jaana: ebong baaposetoloi le baporofiti: Jesu Keresete ka sebele e leng lentswe la kago la kgokgotshwana.
being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone:
21 Rona ba re dumelang re lomagantswe sentle le Keresete jaaka ditokololo tsa tempele e ntle ya Modimo e e golelang pele.
in whom the whole building fitly joined together increaseth to an holy temple in the Lord:
22 Mme le lona lo lomagantswe nae le ba bangwe ke Mowa, jalo lo tokololo ya ntlo e ya Modimo.
in whom ye also are built up together for an habitation of God by the Spirit.
