Baroma 10
1 Bagaetsho ba ba rategang, keletso ya pelo ya me le thapelo ya me ke gore Bajuta ba bolokwe.
Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.
2 Ke itse ka fa ba tlhwaafaletseng go tlotla Modimo ka teng, mme le fa go ntse jalo ke tlhwaafalo e e seng ka fa mokgweng.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Gonne ga ba tlhaloganye gore Keresete o swetse go ba siamisa mo Modimong. Mo boemong jwa go tlhaloganya ba leka go itira tshiamo go gapa maikutlo a Modimo ka go tshegetsa melao ya Sejuta le ngwao, mme moo ga se tsela ya Modimo ya poloko.
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Ga ba tlhaloganye gore Keresete o neela ba ba mo ikanyang sengwe le sengwe se ba lekang go nna naso ka go tshegetsa melao ya gagwe. O khutlisa gotlhe moo.
For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 Gonne Moshe o kwadile gore fa motho a ne a ka nna molemo mo go senang le fa e le selabe, a ba a itisa mo thaelong yotlhe a sa ntse a tshela, a ba a sa leofe le fa e le gangwe, ke gone fela ka fa a ka itshwarelwang a bo a bolokwa.
For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
6 Mme poloko e e tlang ka tumelo ya re, “Ga go tlhokege go puruputsha magodimo o batla Jesu Keresete o bo o mo folosa go tla go go thusa,” ebile,
But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)
8 Gonne poloko e e gautshwane mo go mongwe le mongwe wa rona; tota e gautshwane fela jaaka dipelo tsa rona le melomo.
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
9 Gonne fa o bolelela ba bangwe ka molomo wa gago gore Jesu Keresete ke Morena wa gago, o bo o dumela mo pelong ya gago gore Modimo o mo tsositse mo baswing, o tlaa bolokwa.
because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
10 Gonne ke ka go dumela mo pelong ya gagwe gore motho o siama mo Modimong; mme ka molomo wa gagwe o bolelela ba bangwe kaga tumelo ya gagwe, a tlhomamisa kaga poloko ya gagwe.
for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 Gonne Dikwalo di re bolelela gore ga go na ope yo o dumelang mo go Keresete yo o tlaa tlhabisiwang ditlhong.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
12 Mojuta le Modichaba ba tshwana fela mo lobakeng lo: Botlhe ba na le Morena a le mongwe yo ka bopelotshweu ja gagwe o abelang botlhe dikhumo tse ba di mo kopang.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
13 Le fa e le mang yo o bitsang leina la Morena o tlaa bolokwa.
for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 Mme ba tlaa mo kopa jang go ba boloka fa ba sa dumele mo go ene? Le gone ba ka dumela jang mo go ene fa ba ise ba ke ba bo ba utlwalele kaga gagwe? Gape ba ka utlwa jang kaga gagwe fa go sena ope yo o ba bolelelang?
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 Le gone mongwe o tlaa tsamaya jang a ya go ba bolelela fa mongwe a sa mo rome? Ke sone se Dikwalo di buang kaga sone fa di re, “Ana go go ntle jang dinao tsa ba ba rerang Mafoko a kagiso le Modimo, ba bo ba lere mafoko a a itumedisang a dilo tse di molemo.” Ka mafoko a mangwe ke gore, go amogelesega thata jang ba ba tlang ba rera Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo!
and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
16 Mme ga se mongwe le mongwe yo e a reng a utlwa Mafoko a a Molemo a a amogele, gonne Isaia moporofiti o rile, “Morena, ke mang yo o ntumetseng fa ke ba bolelela?”
But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 Mme le fa go ntse jalo tumelo e tla ka go reetsa Mafoko a a Molemo a, Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Keresete.
So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18 Mme re tlaa reng ka Bajuta? A ba utlwile molaetsa wa Modimo? Ee, gonne molaetsa o ile gongwe le gongwe kwa ba leng teng, Mafoko a a Molemo a boletswe go ya khutlong tsa lefatshe.
But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.
19 Mme a ba ne ba tlhaloganya (gore Modimo o tlaa neela ba bangwe poloko fa ba gana go e amogela)? Ee, gonne le mo malatsing a bogologolo a lobaka lwa ga Moshe, Modimo o ne wa re o tlaa dira batho ba one go nna lefufa o bo o leka go ba tsosa ka go naya poloko ya one dichaba tsa dieleele tsa baheitane.
But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
20 Mme moragonyana Isaia a bua ka bopelokgale a re “Modimo o tlaa bonwa ke batho ba ba neng ba sa o batle.”
And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
21 Mo lobakanyaneng lo, Modimo o tsweletse ka go otlololela mabogo a one mo Bajuteng, mme ba tsweletse ka go tatalala ba gana go tla mo go one.
But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
