Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Mme ka re na le batho ba ba ntseng jalo ba le bantsi ba tumelo ba ba re lebeletseng ba le kwa ditilong tse di kwa godimo, a re apoleng sengwe le sengwe se se diang kgotsa se se re busetsang kwa morago, mme bogolo thata jang dibe tse di tshophelelang thata mo maotong a rona di bo di re digela fa fatshe; mme a re sianeng ka bopelotelele lobelo lo Modimo o lo beileng fa pele ga rona.
2 looking to Yeshua, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Tlhomang matlho a lona mo go Jesu, moeteledipele le moruti wa rona. O ne a ineela go swa loso lo lo tlhabisang ditlhong mo mokgorong ka ntlha ya boitumelo jo a neng a itse fa bo mo letetse kwa morago; mme jaanong o nna mo lefelong la tlotlo gaufi le setilo sa bogosi sa Modimo.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Fa lo batla go kgaogana le go ngodiega le go lapisega, akanyang ka bopelotelele ja gagwe ka nako e baleofi ba neng ba mo dira dilo tse di sa siamang.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Mme le gone, ga lo ise lo ke lo kgaratlhisanye le sebe le thaelo go fitlhelela lo fufula marothodi a madi.
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
A lo lebetse gotlhelele mafoko a kgothatso a Modimo o a lo reileng, lona bana ba One? Modimo o ne wa re, “Morwaaka, se kgopisege fa Morena a go otlhaya. Se kgobege marapo fa a go kaela fa o molato teng.
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
Gonne fa a go otlhaya, go supa gore o a go rata. Fa a go betsa go supa gore o ngwana wa gagwe tota.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
Letla Modimo go go ruta, gonne o dira se rre mongwe le mongwe yo o lorato a se direlang bana ba gagwe. Ke mang yo o kileng a utlwa ka ngwana yo o iseng a ke a bo a otlhaiwe?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Fa Modimo o sa go otlhae fa go tlhokega jaaka borabana bangwe ba otlhaya bana ba bone, moo go raya gore ga o ngwana wa Modimo tota gotlhelele, go raya gore ga o wa ba lolwapa lwa One tota.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Ka re tlotla borraa rona mo lefatsheng, le fa ba re otlhaya, a ga re a tshwanela go ineela ka boitumelo mo go rutweng ke Modimo gore re tle re simolole go tshela tota.
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Borraa rona ba lefatshe ba re rutile mo dingwageng di se kae, ba re direla gotlhe ka fa ba neng ba itse ka teng, mme kotlhao ya Modimo e siame ka malatsi otlhe ebile e re siametse, gore re tle re nne le seabe mo boitshepong jwa One.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Go otlhaiwa ga go monate fa go sa ntse go diragala, go utlwisa botlhoko! Mme kwa morago re ka bona maduo a gone, go gola mo kagisong mo kutlwelo botlhokong le mo bothong.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Ke gone ingapareleng thata ka diatla tsa lona tse di lapileng, emang lo nitame ka mangole a lona a a reketlang,
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
lo bo lo direle dinao tsa lona tsela e e tlhamaletseng e e borethe gore ba ba lo salang morago, le fa ba le bokoa ebile ba tlhotsa, ba seka ba wa ba ikgolafatsa, mme ba nonofe.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Lekang go tswa gotlhelele mo dikomanong mme lo batle go tshela botshelo jo bo phepa jo bo itshepileng, gonne yo o seng boitshepo ga a kitla a bona Morena.
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Tlhokomelanang gore le fa e le ope wa lona a seka a palelwa ke go bona masego a Modimo. Itlhokomeleng gore bogalaka bope bo seka jwa mela mo go lona, gonne fa bo mela bo dira matshwenyego a matona, bo leswafatsa batho ba le bantsi mo matshelong a bone a semowa.
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
Itlhokomeleng gore le fa e le ope wa lona a seka a dira sebe sa boaka kgotsa a seka a nna kelotlhoko kaga Modimo jaaka Esau: o ne a rekisa botsalwa-pele jwa gagwe ka sejonyana se se kgorwang gangwe fela.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Mme erile kwa morago, fa a batla ditshwanelo tseo gape, nako ya bo e setse e tsamaile, le fa tota a ne a lela dikeledi tse di botlhoko tsa boikwatlhao. Ke gone gakologelwang, lo bo lo ikele tlhoko.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burnt with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Ga lo ise lo ke lo lebagane le mathata a a tshosang, molelo o o dikgabo, kutlobotlhoko e e tlhakanyeng le go felelwa ke tsholofelo, lefifi le setsuatsue se se boitshegang, jaaka Baiseraela ba ne ba rakana le One kwa Thabeng ya Senai fa Modimo o ba neela melao ya One.
19 the sound of a shofar, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
Gonne go ne ga nna tumo e e tshosang ya terompeta, le lentswe le le neng le na le molaetsa o o boitshegang, mo e leng gore batho ba ne ba kopa Modimo go khutlisa go bua.
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
Ba ne ba thetheekelela kwa morago ka fa taolong ya Modimo e e reng, le phologolo fa e ka ama thaba, e tshwanetse go swa.
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
Moshe ka sebele erile fa a bona pono e e boitshegang eo a tshoga thata.
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Mme lo tsile sentle mo Thabeng ya Siona, kwa motseng wa Modimo o o Tshelang, Jerusalema wa selegodimo, le kwa kokoanong ya baengele ba ba senang palo ba ba itumetseng;
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
le kwa phuthegong, e e dirilweng ka botlhe ba ba kwadilweng mo legodimong; le kwa Modimong o o leng mosekisi wa botlhe; le kwa meweng ya ba ba kwa legodimong ba ba golotsweng, ba ba setseng ba ntlafaditswe;
24 to Yeshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
le kwa go Jesu ka sebele, yo o re lereditseng kgolagano e ncha ya gagwe e e hakgamatsang; le kwa mading a kgatsho a a itshwarelang ka kutlwelo botlhoko mo boemong jwa go ipusolosetsa jaaka madi a ga Abele.
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Ke gone bonang gore lo obamele ene yo o buang le lona. Gonne fa batho ba Iseraele ba ne ba se ka ba falola fa ba gana go reetsa Moshe yo o neng a ba tlhagisa a le mo lefatsheng, re mo diphatseng tse di setlhogo thata jang fa re gana go reetsa Modimo o o buang le rona o le kwa legodimong!
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
Erile fa o bua o le kwa Thabeng ya Senai, lentswe la one la roromisa lefatshe, mme wa bua wa re, “Ka nako e e tlang ga ke kitla ke roromisa lefatshe fela, mme ke tlaa roromisa le magodimo.”
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Ka go bua jaana Modimo o ne o raya gore o tlaa tlosa sengwe le sengwe se se senang motheo o o tiileng, gore go sale tse di sa reketleng fela.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Ka re na le bogosi jo bo ka sekeng jwa senngwa ke sepe, a re itumediseng Modimo ka go o direla ka dipelo tse di lebogang, le ka poifo e e boitshepo le tshisimogo.
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Gonne Modimo wa rona ke molelo o o lailang.
