Baroma 6
1 Jalo he, a re tlaa nna re tswelela re dira dibe gore Modimo o tle o nne o re kaele tshiamo le boitshwarelo.
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Nnyaa ga go a nna jalo! A re tshwanetse go nna re dira dibe fa re sa tshwanela? Gonne nonofo ya sebe e e neng e re imelela e robilwe fa re nna Bakeresete ra bo ra kolobediwa go nna tokololo ya ga Keresete; ka loso lwa gagwe.
God forbid! how shall we, who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Know ye not, that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
4 Nonofo ya tlholego ya lona e kgologolo e e ratang go leofa e tsentswe le ene mo phupung ka kolobetso fa a a swa, mme erile fa Modimo Rara, ka nonofo e e galalelang o mo rudisa, lo ne lwa neelwa botshelo jwa gagwe jo bontle jo bosha go itumela ka jone.
Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life:
5 Gonne lo fetogile tokololo ya gagwe, jalo he lo sule nae, go bua jalo ke raya ka nako e a neng a a swa ka yone; mme jaanong lo na le seabe mo botshelong jwa gagwe jo bosha mme lo tlaa tsoga fela jaaka a ne a tsoga.
for if we have been planted together in the resemblance of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection.
6 Dikeletso tsa lona tse di bosula tsa bogologolo di ne tsa kokotelwa mo mokgorong nae, tokololo eo ya lona e e ratang go leofa e ne ya ripitliwa ya ba ya ntshiwa dintho mo go bolayang, gore mmele wa gago o o ratang go leofa o seka wa tlhola o nna ka fa tlase ga taolo ya sebe, o sa tlhole o tlhoka go nna motlhanka wa boleo;
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be inslaved to sin:
7 gonne fa o sa tlhole o dira sebe o golotswe mo thaelong ya sone le nonofo ya sone go go laola.
for he that is thus dead with Christ, is delivered from sin.
8 Mme ka tlholego ya lona e kgologolo ya go rata boleo e “sule” le Keresete, re itse gore lo tlaa nna le seabe mo botshelong jwa gagwe jo bosha.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:
9 Keresete o tsogile mo baswing mme ga a kitla a tlhola a a swa gape. Loso ga lo sa tlhole lo na le nonofo mo go ene.
knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more power over Him: for as He died, He died once for all on account of sin;
10 O swetse ruri gangwe fela go fedisa nonofo ya sebe, mme jaanong o tshela ka metlha yotlhe mo botsalanong go ya bosakhutleng.
but as He liveth, He liveth unto God.
11 Jalo he, tsaya tlholego ya gago e kgologolo ya sebe jaaka e ka bo e sule e sa tsaalane molelo le sebe, mme mo boemong jwa go utlwana le sebe tshelela Modimo, o tlhomame mo go one, ka Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona.
So also do ye reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Se tlhole o letlelela sebe go laola mmele wa gago o o kgobaletseng; se ineele mo dithatong tsa one tse di leofang.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Se letleleleng tokololo epe ya mebele ya lona go nna didirisiwa tsa boleo, go dirisiwa mo go direng boleo; mme ineeleng gotlhelele mo Modimong, tokololo nngwe le nngwe ya lona, gonne lo tswa mo losong mme lo batla go nna didirisiwa tsa Modimo, go dirisiwa mo megopolong ya one e e siameng.
Neither yield your bodies as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Sebe ga se sa tlhole se tshwanetse go nna monnga lona, gonne jaanong ga lo sa tlhole lo golegeletswe mo molaong mo sebe se lo dirang makgoba teng, mme lo gololesegile ka fa tlase ga thato ya Modimo le kutlwelo-botlhoko ya one.
For sin shall have no power over you, inasmuch as ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 A mo go raya gore re ka nna ra tswelela ra leofa mme ra seka ra tshwenyega ka ga gone? (Gonne poloko ya rona ga e ikaege mo go bolokeng molao; fa e se mo go amogeleng tshegofatso ya Modimo). Nnyaa ga go a nna jalo!
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?
16 A ga o lemoge gore o ka itlhophela mong wa gago? O ka tlhopha sebe (le loso) kgotsa theetso (le kgololo). Yo o mo ineelang, o tlaa go tsaya a bo a nna mong wa gago mme o tlaa nna motlhanka wa gagwe.
God forbid! Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves servants to obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey? either of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 A go lebogwe Modimo ka gore le fa lo kile lwa itlhophela go nna batlhanka ba boleo; jaanong lo tshegeditse thuto e Modimo o e lo neileng ka pelo yotlhe ya lona.
But thanks be to God, that ye who were servants of sin, have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you:
18 Mme jaanong lo gololesegile mo go mong wa lona yo mogologolo, (sebe); jaanong lo batlhanka ba mong wa lona yo mosha, ebong tshiamo.
and being set free from sin, ye are become the servants of righteousness.
19 Ke bua jaana, ke dirisa sekai sa batlhanka le barena, gonne se motlhofo go tlhaloganngwa: fela jaaka lo kile lwa bo lo le batlhanka mo mefuteng yotlhe ya boleo, jaanong lo tshwanetse go itetlelela go nna batlhanka mo go gotlhe mo go siameng go bile go itshepile.
I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: as ye have yielded your bodies servants to impurity and iniquity to work iniquity; so now present your bodies servants to righteousness, unto holiness.
20 Mo malatsing ale fa lo ne lo sa ntse lo le batlhanka ba boleo, lo ne lo sa tshwenyege ka tshiamo ya Modimo.
For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 Mme maduo e ne ya nna eng? Go bonala sentle gore ga e aka ya nna tshiamo, ka jaanong lo tlhabiwa ke ditlhong go akanya kaga dilo tse lo kileng lwa bo lo di dira, gonne tsotlhe di felela mo tatlhegong ya bosakhutleng.
What fruit therefore had ye then in the things, which ye are now ashamed of? for the end of those things is death.
22 Mme jaanong lo gololesegile mo nonofong ya boleo lo batlhanka ba Modimo, mme thobo ya lona mo go one ke boitshepo le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. (aiōnios g166)
But now being set free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
