Lentswe la fetoha motho

1Tshimolohong Lentswe le ne le le teng. Lentswe le ne le le ho Modimo, mme Lentswe e ne e le Modimo. 2Le ne le le ho Modimo tshimolohong.

3Dintho tsohle di bile teng ka lona, mme ha ho letho le bileng teng haese ka lona. 4Bophelo bo ne bo le ka ho lona, mme bophelo e ne e le lesedi la batho; 5lesedi le kganya lefifing, empa lefifi ha le a ka la le hlola.

6Monna o ne a le teng, ya romilweng ke Modimo, lebitso la hae e le Johanne. 7Monna enwa a tlela ho paka tsa lesedi, e le hore bohle ba dumele ka yena. 8Yena e ne e se lesedi leo, empa o ne a tlile hore a pake tsa lesedi. 9Lesedi la nnete le bonesetsang motho e mong le e mong, le ne le etla lefatsheng.

10Lentswe le ne le le lefatsheng, mme lefatshe le bile teng ka lona, empa lefatshe ha le a ka la le tseba. 11Le ne le tlile hahabo lona, empa ba habo lona ha ba a ka ba le amohela. 12Empa bohle ba le amohetseng, e leng ba dumelang ho lona, le ba neile tokelo ya ho fetoha bana ba Modimo, 13ba sa kang ba tswalwa ka madi, kapa ka thato ya nama, kapa ka thato ya monna, empa ba tswetswe ke Modimo.

14Lentswe ya eba motho, la aha hara rona, mme ra bona tlotla ya lona, e tletseng mohau le nnete, tlotla e kang eo Mora ya tswetsweng a nnotshi a e fumaneng ho Ntate.

15Johanne o mo pakile, mme a howa, a re: “Enwa ke yena, eo ke neng ke mmolela, ha ke re: ‘Ya tlang kamorao ho nna o mpheta ka boholo, hobane o bile teng pele ho nna.’ ” 16Mohaung wa hae o kgaphatsehang, rona bohle re amohetse mohau hodima mohau, 17hobane Molao o neilwe batho ka Moshe, empa mohau le nnete di bile teng ka Jesu Kreste. 18Ha ho ya kileng a bona Modimo le ka mohla; Mora ya tswetsweng a nnotshi, eo e leng Modimo, ya leng sefubeng sa Ntate, ke yena ya re tsebisitseng Modimo.
