Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Jalo he, a re tlaa nna re tswelela re dira dibe gore Modimo o tle o nne o re kaele tshiamo le boitshwarelo.
2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
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.
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
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.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
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.
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
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;
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
gonne fa o sa tlhole o dira sebe o golotswe mo thaelong ya sone le nonofo ya sone go go laola.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
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.
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
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.
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
O swetse ruri gangwe fela go fedisa nonofo ya sebe, mme jaanong o tshela ka metlha yotlhe mo botsalanong go ya bosakhutleng.
11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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.
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Se tlhole o letlelela sebe go laola mmele wa gago o o kgobaletseng; se ineele mo dithatong tsa one tse di leofang.
13 Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
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.
14 For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
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.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
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!
16 Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
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.
17 But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
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.
18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
Mme jaanong lo gololesegile mo go mong wa lona yo mogologolo, (sebe); jaanong lo batlhanka ba mong wa lona yo mosha, ebong tshiamo.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
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.
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
Mo malatsing ale fa lo ne lo sa ntse lo le batlhanka ba boleo, lo ne lo sa tshwenyege ka tshiamo ya Modimo.
21 What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
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.
22 But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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)
