Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Mme jaanong ga go na tshekiso e e emet seng ba e leng ba ga Keresete Jesu.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
Gonne nonofo ya Mowa wa botshelo, nonofo e e leng gore ke ya me ka Keresete Jesu, e nkgolotse mo bogaleng jwa sebe le loso.
3 For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
Ga re bolokwe mo botshwarong jwa sebe ke go itse melao ya Modimo, gonne ga re ka ke le gone re bile ga re e tshegetse, mme Modimo o ne wa dirisa leano lengwe go re boloka. O romile Morwaa one mo setshwanong sa rona, pharologanyo fela ke gore mebele ya rona e na le boleo, mme Morwaa one ene o bolaile taolo ya sebe mo go rona ka go intsha setlhabelo sa dibe tsa rona.
4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Jaanong re ka tshegetsa melao ya Modimo fa re sala morago Mowa O O Boitshepo re bo re khutlisa go obamela tlholego e kgologolo e e bosula e e mo go rona.
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Ba ba iteseletsang go laolwa ke ditlholego tsa bone tse di kgologolo ba tshelela fela go itumedisa matshelo a bone, mme ba ba salang Mowa O O Boitshepo morago ba iphitlhela ba dira dilo tse di itumedisang Modimo.
6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
Go sala morago Mowa O O Boitshepo go isa kwa botshelong le kagiso, mme go sala morago tlholego e kgologolo go isa losong,
7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.
gonne tlholego e kgologolo ya boleo e e mo go rona e kgatlhanong le Modimo. Ga e ise e ke e bo e obamele melao ya Modimo mme le gone ga e kitla e e obamela.
8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.
Ke sone se e leng gore ba ba sa ntseng ba le ka fa tlase ga taolo ya bone e kgologolo ya boleo, ba gapesegetse ka fa go saleng morago dikeletso tsa bone tse di kgologolo tse di bosula, ba ka se ke ba itumedisa Modimo.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
Mme lona ga lo a nna jalo. Lo laolwa ke tlholego ya lona e ncha fa mowa wa Modimo o nna mo go lona. (Mme gakologelwang gore le fa e le mang yo o senang Mowa wa ga Keresete, ga se Mokeresete gotlhelele).
10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Mme le fa tota Keresete a nna mo go wena, mmele wa gago o tlaa swa ka ntlha ya sebe, mme mowa wa gago o tlaa tshela, gonne Keresete o o itshwaretse.
11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Mme fa Mowa wa Modimo, o o tsositseng Jesu mo baswing, o nna mo go lona, o tlaa dira gore mebele ya lona e e swang e tshele gape morago ga lo o swa, ka one Mowa O O Boitshepo o, o o nnang mo go lona.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Jalo he, bakaulengwe ba me ba ba rategang, ga lo na ditshwanelo le fa e le dipe mo tlholegong ya lona e kgologolo ya boleo go dira se e batlang gore lo se dire.
13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Gonne fa lo tswelela go e sala morago lo latlhegile ebile lo tlaa nyelela, mme fa ka nonofo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo lo e ripitla le ditiro tsa yone tse di bosula, lo tlaa tshela.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
Gonne ba ba gogwang ke Mowa wa Modimo ke bana ba Modimo.
15 For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Jalo ga re a tshwanela go tshwana le batlhanka ba ba boi ba ba magatlapa, mme re tshwanetse go nna jaaka bana ba Modimo ka sebele, ba ba dirilweng bana ka go tsenngwa mo lwapeng lwa one, go mmitsa “Rara, Rara.”
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
Gonne Mowa wa one O O Boitshepo o buisanya le rona mo botennye jwa dipelo tsa rona, ebile o re bolelela gore re bana ba Modimo tota.
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
Mme ka re le bana ba one, re tlaa rua mahumo a one, gonne gotlhe mo Modimo o go neelang Morwaa one le rona jaanong ke ga rona. Mme fa e le gore re tshwanetse go nna le seabe mo kgalalelong ya gagwe le rona re tshwanetse go nna le seabe mo go bogisiweng ga gagwe.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
Le fa go ntse jalo dipogiso tsa rona tsa malatsi ano ga se sepe fa di tshwantshiwa le kgalalelo e o tlaa e re nayang mo nakong e e tlang.
19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Gonne lobopo lotlhe lo letetse lone letsatsi leo ka bopelotelele le ka tsholofelo fa Modimo o tlaa bo o tsosa bana ba one.
20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
Gonne mo letsatsing leo mitlwa, mesetlho, sebe, loso le go bola, dilo tse di neng tsa fenya lefatshe kgatlhanong le keletso ya lone mo taolong ya Modimo di tlaa nyelela tsotlhe, le lefatshe le le re dikologileng le tlaa nna le seabe mo kgololesegong e e galalelang e bana ba Modimo ba e itumelelang ka go bo ba kgaogane le boleo.
21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
Gonne re itse gore le dilo tsa tlholego, jaaka diphologolo le ditlhare, di boga bolwetse le loso di sa ntse di emetse tiragalo e kgolo e.
23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
Mme le rona tota Bakeresete, le fa re na le Mowa O O Boitshepo mo go rona e le ketapele ya kgalalelo ya malatsi a a tlang, re tshwenyega gore re gololwe mo ditlhabing le mo tshotlegong. Le rona, ka tlhwaafalo re letetse letsatsi leo le Modimo o tlaa re neelang ditshwanelo tsa rona tsotlhe jaaka bana ba one, le mebele e mesha e o e re solofeditseng, mebele e e se kitlang e tlhola e lwala gape ebile e se kitla e tlhola e e swa.
24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
Re bolokilwe ka tsholofelo. Jalo he, tsholofelo e raya tebelelo ya go nna le sengwe se re iseng re nne naso, gonne motho yo a setseng a na le sengwe ga a tlhoke go solofela le go dumela gore o tlaa nna naso.
25 But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
Mme fa re tshwanetse go nna re ikanya Modimo ka sengwe se se iseng se diragale, go re ruta go letela ka bopelotelele le ka boikanyo.
26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.
Gape ka yone tsela eo, ka tumelo ya rona, Mowa O O Boitshepo o re thusa mo matshwenyegong a rona a malatsi otlhe le mo go rapeleng ga rona. Gonne ga re itse le se tota re tshwanetseng go se rapelela, le ka fa re tshwanetseng go rapela ka teng; mme Mowa O O Boitshepo o re rapelela ka maikutlo a e leng gore ga a ka ke a tlhalosiwa ka mafoko ape.
27 He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.
Mme Rara yo o itseng dipelo tsotlhe o a itse, se Mowa o se buang jaaka o re rapelela ka kagiso le ka fa go rateng ga Modimo.
28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Jalo he, re itse gore gotlhe mo go re diragalelang go re direla bomolemo fa re rata Modimo ebile re tsena sentle mo maikaelelong a one.
29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Gonne go simologa kwa tshimologong Modimo o ne wa ikaelela gore ba ba tlang kwa go one, ebile ka o ne o ntse o itse gore e tlaa nna bo mang, ba tshwanetse go nna jaaka Morwaa one, gore Morwaa one a tle a nne motsalwa pele mo bakaulengweng ba le bantsi.
30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
Mme erile Modimo o sena go re itlhophela, o ne wa re biletsa kwa go one; mme erile fa re tla, wa re supa “re sena molato”, wa re tlatsa ka bomolemo jwa ga Keresete, wa re naya tshiamelo ya go ema le one, re le ba ba siamisitsweng, wa ba wa re solofetsa kgalalelo ya one.
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Tota fela re ka reng kaga dilo tse di ntseng jaana tse di hakgamatsang? Fa Modimo o re eme nokeng, emang yo o ka nnang kgatlhanong le rona?
32 He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
Ka Modimo o ise o ke o be o rekegele Morwaa one o ne wa mo ntshetsa go nna setlhabelo sa rona rotlhe, a le ene tota ga a na go re naya sengwe le sengwe?
33 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
Ke mang yo o ka re bayang molato rona ba re itshenketsweng ke Modimo gore re nne ba one? A Modimo o tlaa dira jalo? Nnyaa! Ke one o o re itshwaretseng wa ba wa re naya tshwanelo ya go ema nao.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
Emang jaanong yo o tlaa re sekisang? A Keresete o tlaa dira jalo? Nnyaa! Gonne ke ene yo o re swetseng a bo a boela mo botshelong gape ka ntlha ya rona, mme jaanong o ntse mo lefelong la tlotlo e kgolo go bapa le Modimo, ebile o a re rapelela.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Emang jaanong yo o ka re kgaoganyang le lorato lwa ga Keresete? Fa re na le mathata kgotsa re le mo tlalelong, fa re tsongwa kgotsa re bolawa, a ke ka ntlha ya gore ga a sa tlhole a re rata? A mme fa re bolawa ke tlala, kgotsa re sena madi, kgotsa re le mo diphatseng, kgotsa re tshosiwa ke loso, a Modimo o a bo o re latlhile?
36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Nnyaa, gonne Dikwalo di re bolelela gore ka ntlha ya gagwe re tshwanetse go ipaakanyetsa go lebagana le loso ka nako nngwe le nngwe ya letsatsi, re tshwana fela le dinku tse di emetseng go tlhajwa.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Mme mo godimo ga mo gotlhe, phenyo e kgolo ke ya rona ka Keresete yo o re ratileng a bo a re swela.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Gonne ke tlhomamisa gore ga go na sepe se se ka re kgaoganyang le lorato lwa gagwe. Loso ga lo ka ke, le botshelo ga bo ka ke. Baengele ga ba ka ke, le dinonofo tsotlhe tsa molete ga di ka ke tsa re kgaoganya le lorato lwa Modimo. Dipoifo tsa rona tsa gompieno, boitlhobaelelo jwa rona kaga letsatsi le le latelang,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
kgotsa fa re leng teng kwa godimodimo ga loapi, kgotsa mo lewatleng le le boteng-teng, ga gona sepe se se tlaa kgonang go re kgaoganya le lorato lwa Modimo lo lo supilweng ke Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete fa a re swela.
