1 PETORO 2
1 Jaanong bakelang bosula jotlhe le tsietso yotlhe le boitimokanyo le lefufa le ditshebo tsotlhe,t 2 mme lo eletse mašwi a Lefoko a a sa pekwang, jaaka bana ba e leng gona ba tsalwang, gore lo tle lo golele pholosong ka ona,t
3 fa lo lemogile gore Morena o pelontle.t
4 Tlayang go ene yo e leng lentswe le le tshelang, le le latlhilweng ke batho, mme e le le le tlhophilweng la botlhokwa mo Modimong;t 5 ineeleng go agiwa jaaka majwe a a tshelang go nna ntlo ya Mowa, ya boperesiti jo bo itshepileng, go tsisa ditlhabelo tsa Mowa tse di kgatlhang Modimo ka Jesu Keresete.t
6 Gonne go kwadilwe mo Lokwalong ga twe:
“Bona, ke baya lentswe
la sekhutlo mo Sione
le le tlhophilweng
la botlhokwa;
yo o dumelang mo go lone ga
a kitla a tlhajwa ke ditlhong.”t
7 Ke la botlhokwa mo go lona ba lo dumelang; mme mo go ba ba sa dumeleng:
“Lentswe le baagi
ba le latlhileng
le dirilwe letlapa la sekhutlo,”t
8 “lentswe le le kgopang,
letlapa la seru;”
bone ba a kgotšwa, ka ba sa utlwe Lefoko; ke sona se ba bileng ba se beetswe.t
9 Mme lona lo losika lo lo tlhaotsweng, lo boperesiti jwa bogosi le morafe o o boitshepo le baruiwa ba Modimo, gore lo tumise ditiro tse dikgolo tsa yo o lo biditseng go tswa mo lefifing, go tsena mo leseding la gagwe le le gakgamatsang,t
10 lona ba e rileng pele lwa bo lo se morafe, mme jaanong lo batho ba Modimo ba lo neng lo sa utlwelwe botlhoko, mme jaanong lo utlwetswe botlhoko.tMotsamao wa tlotlego mo gare ga Baditšhaba. A go ineelwe mebuso
11 Baratwi, ke kgothatsa lona, ba lo leng bajaki le baeng gore lo ikilele mo dikeletsong tsa nama tse di tlhabanang le mowa,t
12 mme lo nne le tsamao e e siameng mo go baheitane gore se ba lo sebang ka sona ba re, lo badiradibe, ba galaletse Modimo ka letsatsi la tekolo ka ntlha ya sona, fa ba se bona sentle ka ditiro tse di molemo tsa lona.t
13 Ikokobeletseng melao yotlhe ya batho ka ntlha ya Morena, le fa e le kgosi, ka e le molaodi yo mogolo,t 14 kampo dikgosana, ka e le tse di romilweng ke yona go betsa badiradibe le go tlotla ba ba dirang molemo; 15 gonne thato ya Modimo e ntse jaana gore lo didimatse go sa itseng ga batho ba ba bosilo ka go dira molemo,t 16 lo le ba ba gololesegileng, mme lo sa dirise kgololesego jaaka seipato bosuleng, mme lo le batlhanka ba Modimo.t
17 Tlotlang botlhe. Ratang bakaulengwe. Boifang Modimo. Tlotlang kgosi.tDitshwanelo tsa batlhanka ba e leng Bakeresete
18 Lona batlhanka, utlwang beng ba lona ka poifo yotlhe, e seng ba ba molemo le ba ba bonolo fela, mme le bone ba ba kgopo.t 19 Gonne moo go a lebosega, fa motho a ka itshokela ditlhokofatso ka ntlha ya segakolodi se se utlwang Modimo, a bogisiwa a se na molato. 20 E ka nna boipoko jwa eng, fa e ka re lo itewa lo sena go leofa, lo a go itshokela? Mme fa lo bogisiwa mogang lo dirang molemo, mme lo go itshokela, gone foo go lebosega fa pele ga Modimo;t 21 gonne lo bileditswe gona moo. Keresete le ene o bogisitswe ka ntlha ya lona, a lo tlogelela sekao gore lo gate motlhala wa gagwe;t 22 yo o neng a sa dira boleo bope, le tsietso ga e a ka ya fitlhelwa mo molomong wa gagwe.t 23 E rile a kgalwa, a se ka a ba a kgala; ya re a bogisiwa, a se ka a bôpa, mme a ineela fela mo go ene yo o atlholang ka tshiamo. 24 O ne a belegela maleo a rona ka boene ka mmele wa gagwe kwa sefapaanong, gore rona re nne ba ba suleng ntlheng ya boleo, mme re tshelele tshiamo; lo fodisitswe ka dintho tsa gagwe.t 25 Gonne lo ne lo ntse jaaka dinku tse di timetseng, mme jaanong lo boetse go Modisa le Molebeledi wa mewa ya lona.t
1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,2 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;3 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.6 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
7 For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
8 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.9 But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:10 who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;12 having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.13 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;14 or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.19 For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully.20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
