Baroma 12
1 Ke gone, bagaetsho, ke a lo rapela gore lo neele Modimo mebele ya lona. A mebele ya lona e nne setlhabelo se se tshelang, e le boitshepo, e le mofuta o Modimo o ka o amogelang. Fa lo akanya kaga se o se lo diretseng, a lo fitlhela e le gore se o se lopang se segolo thata.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 Se gapiweng ke mokgwa le ngwao ya lefatshe leno, mme nnang batho ba basha ba ba pharologanyo ba na le maikutlo a masha mo go tsotlhe tse ba di dirang le tse ba di akanyang. Mme lo tlaa itemogela ka fa ditsela tsa Modimo di tlaa lo itumedisang ka teng. (aiōn g165)
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
3 Jaaka morongwa wa Modimo ke neela mongwe le mongwe wa lona tlhagiso ya Modimo: Ikanyegeng mo go kaeng seemo sa lona mo Modimong, lo lekanya letlotlo la lona gore Modimo o le lo neetse ka tumelo e e selekanyo se kae.
For I say, through the grace that was given me, to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4 Fela jaaka go na le ditokololo di le dintsi mo mebeleng ya rona, mmele wa ga Keresete o ntse fela jalo. Rotlhe re ditokololo tsa one, mme go raya gore rotlhe fa re kopanye re dira mmele o o feletseng, gonne mongwe le mongwe wa rona o na le tiro e e farologanyeng go e dira. Jalo he, re ruanye, mongwe le mongwe o tlhokana le ba bangwe.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
so we, who are many, are one body in Messiah, and individually members one of another.
6 Modimo o neetse mongwe le mongwe wa rona nonofo go dira dilo dingwe sentle. Jalo fa Modimo o go neetse nonofo ya go porofesa dira jalo fa go kgonega ka dinako tsotlhe tse tumelo ya gago e nonofileng go amogela molaetsa o o tswang kwa Modimong.
And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
7 Fa e le gore neo ya gago ke ya go direla batho sentle, ba direle sentle. Fa o le moruti, dira tiro e ntle ya go ruta.
if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;
8 Fa o le moreri, bona gore dithero tsa gago di nonofile di bile di na le thuso. Fa Modimo o go file madi, nna pelotshweu mo go thuseng ba bangwe ka one. Fa Modimo o go file nonofo ya go laola ebile o go dirile motlhokomedi wa tiro ya ba bangwe, tsaya tiro eo ya boikarabelo ka tlhwaafalo. Ba ba gomotsang ba ba hutsahetseng ba tshwanetse go dira jalo ka lorato lwa Sekeresete.
if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Se ipeye fela jaaka o ka re o rata ba bangwe: Ba rate ka boammaaruri. Ila se se sa siamang. Ema le bomolemo.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 Ratang ka lorato lwa sekaulengwe lo bo lo itumelelane mo go tlotlaneng.
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;
11 Se nneng ditshwakga mo tirong ya lona mme direlang Modimo ka tlhwaafalo.
not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Itumeleleng gotlhe mo Modimo o go lo baakanyetsang. Nnang pelotelele mo mathateng, lo bo lo nne mo thapelong malatsi otlhe.
rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 Fa bana ba Modimo ba tlhoka, a e nne wena o ba thusang. O bo o itlwaetse mokgwa wa go nna o laletsa baeng dijo kwa lapeng la gago, kgotsa le fa ba tlhoka boroko o ba bo neye.
contributing to the needs of the kadoshim; given to hospitality.
14 Fa mongwe a go sotla ka ntlha ya gore o Mokeresete, se mo hutse; mo rapelele gore Modimo o mo segofatse.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Fa ba bangwe ba itumetse, itumele nabo. Fa ba utlwile botlhoko, utlwa botlhoko nabo.
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 Dirisanyang ka boitumelo. Se lekeng go ikgodisa. Se lekeng go ithatisa batho ba maemo a a kwa godimo, mme itumeleleng go nna mo lesomong la batho ba ba kwa tlase. Le gone lo seka lwa ikgopola gore lo botlhale.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.
17 Se busoloseng bosula ka bosula. Dirang dilo ka tsela e e leng gore mongwe le mongwe o ka bona gore lo ikanyega mo go tsone.
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.
18 Se omaneng le ope. Nnang kagiso le mongwe le mongwe, ka fa nonofong ya lona.
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.
19 Bagaetsho ba ba rategang, se ipusolosetseng. Tlogelang moo mo Modimong, gonne o rile o tlaa duela ba ba tshwanetsweng ke tuelo. (Se itseeleng molao ka mabogo a lona).
Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for the wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
20 Mo boemong jwa go dira jalo, fa mmaba wa gago a bolailwe ke tlala, mo fe dijo. Fa a tshwerwe ke lenyora mo nose, ka go dira jalo, o tlaa bo o “Tlhatlaganya magala a molelo mo tlhogong ya gagwe.” Ka mafoko a mangwe o tlaa itlhabelwa ke ditlhong ka ntlha ya se a se go diretseng.
Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head."
21 Se dumeleng go fenngwa ke bosula mme fenyang bosula ka go dira tshiamo.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
