Bahebera 6
1 A re khutliseng go tlhola re ntse re boelela selo se le sengwe fela gangwe le gape, ka malatsi otlhe re ruta dithuto tsele tsa pele kaga Keresete. Go na le moo, a re tsweleleng pele mo dilong tse dingwe re bo re gole mo go tlhaloganyeng ga rona, jaaka Bakeresete ba ba nonofileng ba tshwanetse go nna. Tota ga re tlhoke go tswelela re buela pele ka boeleele jwa go leka go bolokwa ka go nna tshiamo, kgotsa ka botlhokwa jwa tumelo mo Modimong;
Therefore, interrupting an explanation of the basics of Christ, let us consider what is more advanced, not presenting again the fundamentals of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 ga lo tlhoke go rutelwa pele ka kolobetso le dineo tsa semowa le tsogo ya baswi le tshekiso ya bosakhutleng. (aiōnios g166)
of the doctrine of baptism, and also of the imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Mme fa Modimo o ka re leta, re tlaa tswelela pele mo dilong tse dingwe jaanong.
And we shall do this, if indeed God permits it.
4 Ga go thuse sepe go leka go lo busetsa mo Moreneng gape fa lo kile lwa tlhaloganya Mafoko a a Molemo lwa ba lwa lekeletsa dilo tse di molemo tsa legodimo lwa ba lwa nna le seabe mo Moweng O O Boitshepo,
For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, and have even tasted of the heavenly gift, and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit,
5 lo bile lo itse ka fa Lefoko la Modimo le leng molemo ka teng, lwa ba lwa ikutlwela dinonofo tse dikgolo tsa lefatshe le le tlang, (aiōn g165)
who, despite having tasted the good Word of God and the virtues of the future age, (aiōn g165)
6 mme jaanong lo tsogologetse Modimo. Ga lo kake lwa kgona go ikwatlhaya gape fa lo kokotetse Morwa Modimo mo mokgorong ka go mo gana, lo mo tsholeditse go sotlwa le go tlhabisiwa ditlhong mo pepeneneng.
have yet fallen away, to be renewed again to penance, since they are crucifying again in themselves the Son of God and are still maintaining pretenses.
7 Fa tshimo e netswe ke dipula tse dintsi, mme dijalo tse dintle di tlhoga, lefatshe leo le bonye tshegofatso ya Modimo e wela mo go lone.
For the earth accepts a blessing from God, by drinking in the rain that often falls upon it, and by producing plants that are useful to those by whom it is cultivated.
8 Mme fa le tswelela go mela mesetlho le mitlwa, go akanngwa gore ga le a siama ebile le emetse katlholo le go nyelediwa ka molelo fela.
But whatever brings forth thorns and briers is rejected, and is closest to what is accursed; their consummation is in combustion.
9 Ditsala tse di rategang, le fa ke bua jaana, ga ke dumele tota gore se ke se buang se raya lona. Ke tlhomamisa gore lo ungwa maungo a mantle a a tsamaelanang le poloko ya lona.
But from you, most beloved, we are confident that there will be things better and closer to salvation; even though we speak in this way.
10 Gonne Modimo ga o patike. O ka lebala jang tiro ya lona e e bokete e lo e o direlang, kgotsa wa lebla tsela e lo neng lo tle lo supe ka yone ka fa lo o ratang ka teng, mme ebile lo sa ntse lo tshwere lo dira jalo ka go thusa bana ba one?
For God is not unjust, such that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown in his name. For you have ministered, and you continue to minister, to the saints.
11 Re eletsa thata gore lo tle lo amogele tuelo ya lona e e itekanetseng.
Yet we desire that each one of you display the same solicitude toward the fulfillment of hope, even unto the end,
12 Mme ka o itse se se lo emetseng mo malatsing a a kwa pele, ga o kitla o lapisiwa ke go nna Mokeresete, le fa e le go tshwakgafala go tshwana le ba ba amogelang tsotlhe tse Modimo o di ba solofeditseng ka ntlha ya tumelo ya bone e e nonofileng le bopelotelele.
so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.
13 Sekai ke se, go ne ga nna tsholofetso ya Modimo mo go Aberehame: Modimo o ne wa ikana ka leina la One, gonne go ne go se na ope yo mogolo yo Modimo o neng o ka ikana ka ene,
For God, in making promises to Abraham, swore by himself, (because he had no one greater by whom he might swear),
14 gore o tlaa segofatsa Aberahame gangwe le gape, o bo o mo fa ngwana wa mosimane, o bo o mo dira rara wa chaba e kgolo ya batho.
saying: “Blessing, I shall bless you, and multiplying, I shall multiply you.”
15 Jalo Aberahame a leta ka bopelotelele go fitlhelela lwa bofelo Modimo o mo naya ngwana wa mosimane, ebong Isake, fela jaaka o ne o solofeditse.
And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise.
16 Fa motho a ikana, o a bo a bitsa mongwe yo o fa godimo ga gagwe ka maemo gore a mo pateletse go dira se a se solofeditseng kgotsa go mo otlhaya fa a gana go se dira; maikano a fedisa manganga otlhe.
For men swear by what is greater than themselves, and an oath as confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
17 Modimo le One o ne wa itlama ka maikano, gore ba o ba solofeditseng go ba thusa, ba tlhomamise sentle thata le gone ba seka ba belaela gore a ruri Modimo o se nke o tloga o fetogela ditsholofetso tsa One.
In this matter, God, wanting to reveal more thoroughly the immutability of his counsel to the heirs of the promise, interposed an oath,
18 O re neetse tsholofetso ya One le maikano, e le dilo tse pedi tse re ka di dumelang gotlhelele, gonne ga go kgonege gore Modimo o bue maaka. Jaanong botlhe ba ba tshabelang kwa go One go ba boloka ba ka kgothatsega sesha fa ba utlwa kaga ditsholofetso tse, tse di tswang kwa Modimong; ebile jaanong ba ka itse, kwa ntle ga go belaela, gore Modimo o tlaa ba neela poloko e o e ba solofeditseng.
so that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest solace: we who have fled together so as to hold fast to the hope set before us.
19 Tsholofetso e e tlhomamisegang e ya go bolokwa ke seitsetsepelo se se nonofileng se se ikanyegang sa mewa ya rona, se re gokaganya le Modimo ka bo One ka fa morago ga sesiro sa boitshepo sa legodimo,
This we have as an anchor of the soul, safe and sound, which advances even to the interior of the veil,
20 kwa Keresete a tsamaetseng kwa pele teng go re rapelela a le mo maemong a gagwe e le Moperesiti wa rona, a le mo tlotlong le mo maemong a a lekanang le a ga Melekisedeke. (aiōn g165)
to the place where the forerunner Jesus has entered on our behalf, so as to become the High Priest for eternity, according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
