< Bahebera 4 >
1 Le fa tsholofetso ya Modimo e ise e diragale, ebong tsholofetso ya One ya gore botlhe ba ka tsena mo lefelong la One la boikhutso, re tshwanetse go roroma ka letshogo gonne morago ga tsotlhe, bangwe ba lona ba ka nna mo seemong sa go tlhaela go goroga teng koo.
Let us fear, therefore, lest, while there is a confirmed promise of an entrance into his rest, any one shall be found among you remaining from entering in.
2 Gonne Mafoko a a Molemo a, ebong molaetsa wa gore Modimo o batla go re boloka, re o neetswe fela jaaka o ne wa neelwa ba ba neng ba tshela mo lobakeng lwa ga Moshe. Mme ga o a ka wa ba solegela molemo gonne ga ba a ka ba o dumela. Ga ba a ka ba o kopanya le tumelo.
For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.
3 Ke rona fela ba re dumelang Modimo re ka tsenang mo lefelong la One la boikhutso. O rile, “Ke ikanne mo bogaleng jwa me gore ba ba sa ntumeleng ga ba kitla ba tsena,” le fa tota o ne o ntse o ba ipaakanyeditse ebile o ntse o ba emetse go tswa tshimologong ya lefatshe.
But we enter into the rest, we (being of) those (who) have believed. But as He hath said, So I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest: for, behold, the works of Aloha from the beginning of the world were.
4 Re itse fa o ipaakantse ebile o letile gonne go kwadilwe gatwe Modimo o ne wa ikhutsa ka letsatsi la bosupa la lobopo o sena go fetsa tsotlhe tse o neng o ikaeletse go di dira.
As he said concerning the shabath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.
5 Le fa go ntse jalo ga ba a ka ba tsena, gonne lwa bofelo Modimo o ne wa re, “Ga ba kitla ba tsena mo boikhutsong jwa me.”
Yet here again he saith, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 Le fa go ntse jalo, tsholofetso e ntse e ntse fela jalo, bangwe ba a tsena, mme eseng ba ba neng ba bona sebaka sa go rerelwa pele gonne ga ba a ka ba ikobela Modimo mme ka ntlha ya go dira jalo ba tlhaela go tsena.
Therefore, because there was a place into which every one of them might have entered, and they who had it announced first did not enter in, forasmuch as they would not be persuaded;
7 Mme o beile nako e nngwe ya go tsena mo lefelong la boikhutso, mme nako eo ke jaanong jaana. O anamisitse polelo e ka Kgosi Dafide morago ga lobaka lo loleele lwa dingwaga motho a sena go palelwa ke go tsena mo felong ga boikhutso, o ne wa bua jaana ka mafoko a a setseng a boletswe, a a reng, “Gompieno fa lo mo utlwa a bitsa, se mo thatafaletseng dipelo tsa lona.”
---moreover, (as) another day he appointeth, after much time; as above it is written, that David hath said, To-day if his voice ye will hear, harden not your hearts;
8 Lefelo le lesha le la boikhutso le Modimo o buang ka lone ga se lefatshe la Iseraele le Joshua a neng a etelela pele Baiseraela a ba gorosa mo go lone. Fa e le gore Modimo o ne o raya lone, o ka bo o ne wa seka ya re morago ga lobaka lo lo leele wa bua ka “Gompieno” e le yone nako ya go tsena mo lefelong la boikhutso.
---but if Jeshu-bar-Nun had established them in rest, he not have spoken afterwards of another day:
9 Jalo go na le boikhutso jo bo tletseng jo bo santseng bo letetse batho ba Modimo.
---Therefore, yet to enjoy a shabathism is confirmed to the people of Aloha.
10 Keresete o setse a tsenye teng. O itapolositse mo tirong ya gagwe, fela jaaka Modimo o ne wa itapolosa morago ga lobopo.
For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his.
11 Mme le rona a re lekeng ka bojotlhe jwa rona go tsena mo lefelong leo la boikhutso, re iketse tlhoko, e se re kgotsa le rona ra tloga ra tlhoka kutlo mo Modimong jaaka bana ba Iseraela ba ne ba dira, mme ka go dira jalo ba tlhaela go tsena mo lefelong la boikhutso.
Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.
12 Gonne le fa e le eng se Modimo o se re bolelelang se tletse nonofo e e tshedileng: se bogale thata go gaisa chaka e e bogale jo bo feteletseng e tlhabela ka bofefo mo teng teng ga megopolo ya rona le dikeletso le gotlhe ga tsone, e re senolela se tota re leng sone.
For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword, and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.
13 O itse ka mongwe le mongwe gongwe le gongwe. Sengwe le sengwe ka rona se apogile ebile se bulegetse thata matlho otlhe a a bonang a Modimo wa rona o o tshelang; ga go na sepe se Modimo o ka se fitlhelwang, One o re tshwanetseng go o tlhalosetsa tsotlhe tse re di dirileng.
Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.
14 Mme Jesu Morwa Modimo Ke Moperesiti wa rona yo Mogolo thata ene yo o ileng kwa legodimong go re thusa; jalo a re se khutliseng go mo ikanya.
Therefore having such a great High Priest, Jeshu Meshiha, the Son of Aloha, who hath ascended to heaven, let us persevere in the confession of him.
15 Moperesiti yo Mogolo yo wa rona o tlhaloganya makoa a rona, gonne le ene o kile a nna mo dithaelong jaaka rona, le fa go ntse jalo ga a ise a ke a bo a neye dithaelo sebaka mme a leofa.
For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.
16 Jalo a re tleng kwa setilong sa bogosi jwa Modimo ka bopelokgale re bo re nne teng koo go amogela kutlwelo botlhoko ya One le go nna le tshegofatso go re thusa mo dinakong tsa rona tsa botlhoki.
Let us therefore approach with confidence to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for help in the time of affliction.
