Diteko le dithaelo

4 Mme tlhomamo e tshwanetse go nna le tiro e e tletseng gore lo nne botlalo, lo itekanele, lo se tlhaele mo go sepe.
5 Mme fa mongwe wa lona a tlhoka botlhale, a a bo kope mo Modimong o o nayang mongwe le mongwe ka boitumelo, o sa nyatse, mme o tla bo newa.t 6 Mme a a kope ka tumelo, a sa belaele sepe; gonne yo o belaelang o tshwana le lekhubu la lewatle le le kgweediwang ke phefo, le rutlarutlwa.t 7 Kana motho yoo a se ka a itlhoma gore o tla amogela sengwe mo Moreneng,

8 ka e le monna yo o pelo-pedi yo o akgaakgegang mo ditseleng tsotlhe tsa gagwe.
9 Mme mokaulengwe yo o kwa tlase a a ipoke ka bogolo jwa gagwe.t 10 Yo o humileng ene a a ipoke ka bobotlana jwa gagwe; gonne o tla nyelela jaaka sethunya sa bojang.t

11 Gonne e a re letsatsi le tlhaba ka mogote o o fisang, le swabise bojang, mme sethunya sa jona se tlhotlhorege, bontle jwa sebopego sa sona bo nyelele: Mohumi le ene o tla nyelela jalo mo metsamaong ya gagwe.t
12 Go sego monna yo o itshokelang diteko; gonne e tla re a sena go bonwa a fentse diteko, a amogele serwalo sa bophelo se Morena o se solofeditseng bone ba ba mo ratang.t 13 A go se nne ope yo e reng a raelwa a re: “Ke raelwa ke Modimo.” Gonne Modimo ga o ka ke wa raelwa ke bosula, mme ona ka osi ga o raele ope. 14 Mme mongwe le mongwe o a raelwa, fa a gogwa gongwe a okwa ke keletso ya gagwe.t

15 Morago e re keletso e sena go nemera, e tsale boleo; boleo jone e re bo sena go tlala, bo tsale loso.t
16 Ba ga etsho ba ba rategang, lo se ka lwa timela! 17 Neo nngwe le nngwe e e molemo le mpho nngwe le nngwe e e tletseng e tswa kwa godimo, e fologa kwa go Rra-masedi yo go se nang phetogo epe mo go ene, le e seng kamogano ya bosigo le motshegare.t

18 O re tsetse ka fa go rateng ga gagwe ka lefoko la boammaaruri gore re nne mangwe a mabutswapele a dibopiwa tsa gagwe.t

Badiri ba Lefoko

21 Ka moo latlhang maswe tlhe le bosula jo bo setseng, lo amogele ka bonolo Lefoko le le tlhomilweng mo go lona, le le nonofileng go pholosa mewa ya lona.t
22 Mme lo nne badiri ba Lefoko, e seng bautlwi fela, lwa tloga lwa itsietsa.t 23 Gonne fa mongwe e le moutlwi wa Lefoko, e se modiri, yoo o tshwana le monna yo o iponang sefatlhego sa tlholego mo seiponing; 24 gonne e a re a sena go ipona, a tsamae, a lebale ka pele ka fa a ntseng ka teng.

25 Mme yo o lebileng mo teng ga molao o o itekanetseng wa kgololesego, a bile a tsweletse jalo, e se moutlwi yo o lebalang, mme e le modiri wa tiro, yoo o tla nna sego mo go direng ga gagwe.t
26 Mme fa mongwe a itlhoma a direla Modimo, a ntse a sa thibele loleme lwa gagwe, mme a tsietsa pelo ya gagwe, tirelo-Modimo ya motho yoo ke ya lefela.t 27 Tirelo-Modimo e e itshekileng e e se nang sebala fa pele ga Modimo Rara ke ya go lekola dikhutsana le batlholagadi mo matshwenyegong a bone, le go ipoloka ka bophepa mo lefatsheng.

James 1

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.4 And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:10 and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.11 For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass: and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him.13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.15 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.19 Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.21 Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.25 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.26 If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
