1 Peter 4

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

E re ka Keresete a bogile a bile a utlwisitswe botlhoko, le lona lo tshwanetse go boga fela jaaka a bogile; lo tshwanetse go ipaakanyetsa go boga, le lona. Mme ke gone gakologelwang gore fa mebele ya lona e boga, sebe se latlhegelwa ke nonofo ya sone.

2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

Mme ga lo kitla lo senya lobaka lwa lona ka go tsamaya mo dithatong tse di bosula, mme lo tlaa tlhwaafalela go dira go rata ga Modimo.

3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

Ka lobaka lo lo fetileng lo dirile dilo tse di bosula tse batho ba ba sa itseng Modimo ba di itumelelang ebong, boaka, dithato tsa nama, go nwa bojalwa, mediro ya boitaolo, botlhapelwa, le kobamelo ya medimo ya disetwa, le dibe tse dingwe tse di maswe.

4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.

Ee, ditsala tsa lona tsa pele di tlaa hakgamala thata fa lo sa tlhole lo tlhakana le bone mo dilong tse di bosula tse ba di dirang, mme ba tlaa lo tshega ka tshotlo ba bo ba lo nyatsa.

5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Mme gakologelwang gore, ba tshwanetse go lebagana le moatlhodi wa botlhe, batshedi le baswi; ba tlaa otlhaelwa tsela e ba tshedileng ka yone.

6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.

Ke gone ka moo Mafoko a a Molemo a reretsweng le e leng bone ba ba suleng, ba ba bolailweng ke morwalela, gore le fa mebele ya bone e otlhailwe ka loso, ba bo ba ka nna ba tshela mo meweng ya bone jaaka Modimo o tshela.

7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Bokhutlo jwa lefatshe bo e tla ka bonako. Jalo nnang batho ba ba tlhwaafetseng ba ba rapelang.

8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Mo godimo ga tsone tsotlhe, tswelelang mo go supeng lorato lo logolo mo go ba bangwe, gonne lorato lo bipa melato e mentsi ya lona.

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

Itumeleleng go nna mo malapeng a lona le ba ba tlhokang dijo kgotsa marobalo.

10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

Modimo o neile mongwe le mongwe wa lona dinonofo tse di faphegileng; tlhomamisang go di dirisa go thusa ba bangwe, lo bolelela ba bangwe masego a Modimo a mantsi.

11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

A o bileditswe go rera? Jalo rera fela jaaka ekete Modimo o ne a bua ka wena. A o bileditswe go thusa ba bangwe? Go dire ka thata yotlhe le nonofo e Modimo o e go nayang, gore Modimo o tle o galalediwe ka Jesu Keresete; a go nne kgalalelo kwa go ene ka metlha le metlha, Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

Ditsala tse di rategang, lo se etsaetsege, kgotsa lwa hakgamala fa lo tsena mo ditekong tse di molelo tse di kwa pele, gonne mo ga se mo go sa itsiweng, selo se se sa tlwaelesegang se, se tlaa lo diragalela.

13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

Mo boemong jwa mo, itumeleng, gonne diteko tse di tlaa lo dira bapati ba ga Keresete mo pogisong ya gagwe, mme morago lo tlaa nna le boipelo jo bo hakgamatsang jwa go tlhakanela kgalalelo ya gagwe mo letsatsing le le tlang fa le bonadiwa.

14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

Itumele fa o hutsiwa o bo o tlhapadiwa ka ntlha ya go nna Mokeresete, gonne fa moo go diragala, Mowa wa Modimo o tlaa tla mo go wena ka kgalalelo e kgolo.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.

A ke se ka ka utlwa ka go boga ga gago ka ntlha ya go bolaya kgotsa go utswa kgotsa go dira matshwenyego kgotsa go nna molotlhanyi kgotsa go tsena mo dilong tsa batho ba bangwe.

16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.

Mme ga go tlhabise ditlhong go bogela go nna Mokeresete. Baka Modimo ka ntlha ya tshwanelo ya go nna mo baneng ba ga Keresete, o bo o bidiwa ka leina la gagwe le lentle!

17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?

Gonne lobaka lwa katlholo lo tsile, mme lo tshwanetse go simologa pele mo baneng ba e leng ba Modimo. Mme fa rona ba re leng Bakeresete re tshwanetse go atlholwa, ke bokhutlo jo bo maswe jang jo bo letileng ba ba iseng ba ke ba dumele mo Modimong.

18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”

Fa basiami ba sa bolokwe ka motlhofo, ba e seng ba Modimo bone ba ka nna le letshoba lefe la go bolokwa?

19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

Jalo fa lo boga ka fa go rateng ga Modimo, tswelelang lo dire tshiamo lo ikanye Modimo o o lo bopileng, gonne ga o kake wa lo tlhabisa ditlhong.
