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.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship;
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 be not conformed to the fashion of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that ye may learn by experience what is the will of God, what is good, and well-pleasing, and perfect. (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 through the grace given to me I warn every one among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath imparted to each.
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 as in one body we have many members, and the members have not all the same office,
so we, though many, form one body in Christ, and each of us is a member of it in common with the rest.
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.
Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our 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.
or if service, let us attend to the service; he that teacheth, let him attend to 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.
or he that exhorteth, to exhortation; he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that presideth over others, with diligence; he that doeth deeds of mercy, with 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 your love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.
10 Ratang ka lorato lwa sekaulengwe lo bo lo itumelelane mo go tlotlaneng.
In brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in honor, give each other the preference.
11 Se nneng ditshwakga mo tirong ya lona mme direlang Modimo ka tlhwaafalo.
Be not backward in zeal; be 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.
Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere 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.
Relieve the wants of the holy; be 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 curse not.
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.
Be of one mind among yourselves. Set not your minds on high things, but content yourselves with what is humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.
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.
Render to no one evil for evil; have regard to what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18 Se omaneng le ope. Nnang kagiso le mongwe le mongwe, ka fa nonofong ya lona.
If it be possible, as far as dependeth on you, be at peace with all men.
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).
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather make room for wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith 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 thy enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou wilt heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Se dumeleng go fenngwa ke bosula mme fenyang bosula ka go dira tshiamo.
Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
