KETAPELE

Buka ya ga Momone ke buka ya lefoko la Modimo le le boitshe-pho go tshwana le Baebele. Ke pego e e kwadilweng ya ditiri-

sanyo tsa Modimo le banni ba bogologolo ba Amerika mme e na lebotlalo jwa efangele e e senang bokhutlo.

Buka e kwadilwe ke baporofiti ba le bantsi ba bogologolo kamowa wa seporofiti le tshenolo. Mafoko a bone, a a kwadilwengmo dipapetlaneng tsa gauta, a tsewa jaaka a ntse a ba a khutshwa-fadiwa ke moporofiti le moitse-wa-ditso a bidiwa Momone. Pego ee kwadilweng e fa pego ka ga ditlhabologo tse dikgolo tse pedi.Nngwe e dule kwa Jerusalema ka ngwaga wa makgolo a marataropele ga ga Keresete (600 b.c.), mme morago ya kgaogana ka dit‰ha-ba tse pedi, tse di itseweng e le Banifae le Baleimene. E nngwe etlile pele thata fa Morena a tlhakatlhakanya diteme kwa Kagong ee Godileng ya Beibele. Setlhopha se, se itsewe e le Bajarete. Mora-go ga dikete tsa dingwaga, botlhe ba ne ba nyelediwa, kwa ntle gaBaleimene, mme ke borraagwemogologolwane ba Baindia baAmerika.

Tiragalo ya konokono e e kwadilweng mo Bukeng ya ga Momo-ne ke tirelo ya Morena Jesu Keresete ka sebele gareng ga Banifaemorago fela ga tsogo ya gagwe. E baya pele dithuto tsa efangele, etlhalosa thulaganyo ya poloko, mme e bolelela batho se ba tshwa-netseng ba se dira go bona kagiso mo botshelong jono le poloko yabosakhutleng mo botshelong jo bo tlang.

Morago ga Momone a sena go fetsa mekwalo ya gagwe, o ne anaya pego go morwawe Moronae, yo a neng a latlhela mafoko a sekae a gagwe, mme, a fitlha dipapetlana kwa lentsweng la Khamora.Ka Lwetse a tlhola malatsi a le masome a mabedi le bongwe, kangwaga wa 1823, Moronae ene yoo, jaanong e le motshedi yo ogalaleditsweng yo o tsositsweng, a bonala kwa go Moporofiti JosephSmith mme a mo laela ka ga pego e e kwadilweng ya bogologolotala le maikaelelo a go e ranolela mo puong ya Sekgowa.

Mo nakong e e tshwanetseng, dipapetlana di ne tsa tlisiwa kwago Joseph Smith, yo o neng a di ranola ka mpho le thata yaModimo. Pego e e kwadilweng jaanong e gatisitswe le go anamisi-wa ka dipuo di le dintsi, e le bosupi jo bosha jo bo tlaletsang goreJesu Keresete ke Morwa Modimo o o tshelang le gore botlhe ba batlaa tlang kwa go ene mme ba obamela melao le ditlhomo tsaefangele ya gagwe ba ka bolokwa.

Mabapi le pego e e kwadilweng e, Moporofiti Joseph Smith o nea re: “Ke boleletse bakaulengwe gore Buka ya ga Momone e ne e leya nnete thata mo go epe buka mo lefatsheng, mme ke pinagare ya

vi

tumelo ya rona, mme motho o ka atamela go Modimo ka go saladithuto tsa yone morago, go na le ka epe buka e nngwe.”

Mo godimo ga ga Joseph Smith, Morena o ne a dira gore babangwe ba le lesome le motso ba iponele dipapetlana tsa gauta legore ba tle ba nne basupi ba ba kgethegileng ba boammaaruri lebomodimo jwa Buka ya ga Momone. Bopaki jwa bone jo bo kwadi-lweng bo akareditswe mo e le “Bopaki jwa Basupi ba Bararo” le“Bopaki jwa Basupi ba ba Borobabobedi.”

Re laletsa batho botlhe gongwe le gongwe go bala Buka ya gaMomone le go akanya ka boteng molaetsa o o mo go yone modipelong tsa bone, mme jaanong foo go botsa Modimo, Rara waBosakhutleng, mo leineng la ga Keresete, fa buka e e le boammaa-ruri. Bao ba ba salang tsela e morago, mme ba botsa ka tumelo batlaa amogela bopaki jwa boammaaruri le bomodimo jwa yone, kathata ya Mowa o o Boitshepho. (Bona Moronae 10:3–5.)

Bao ba ba amogelang bosupi jo, jwa semodimo go tswa go Mowa oo Boitshepho ba tlaa tla go itse gape ka thata ya Mowa o o Boitshe-pho gore Jesu Keresete ke Mmoloki wa lefatshe, le gore JosephSmith ke mosenodi le moporofiti wa gagwe mo malatsing a abofelo, le gore Kereke ya ga Jesu Keresete ya Baitshephi ba Malatsia Bofelo ke motse wa bogosi jwa Morena gangwe gape o tlhomi-lwe mo lefatsheng, go baakanyetsa go tla ga bobedi ga ga Mesia.

BOPAKI JWA GA MOPOROFITI JOSEPH SMITH

Mafoko a ga Moporofiti Joseph Smith ka sebele ka ga go tla pele gaBuka ya ga Momone ke:

“Ka letlatlana la . . .Lwetse a tlhola masome a mabedi le motso[1823] . . .Ke ne ka ipaya ka thapelo le topo fa pele ga ModimoMothatayotlhe. . . .

“Fa ke ntse ke le mo tirong ya go bitsa Modimo, ke ne ka bonalesedi le tlhagelela mo phaposing ya me, le le neng la tswelela gooketsega go fitlhelela phaposi e le lesedi go gaisa ka setlhoboloko, faka bonako go bonala motho fa tlhakoreng la bolao jwa me, a eme mophefong, gonne maoto a gagwe a ne a sa kgoma bodilo.

“O ne a apere purapura e e bosweu jo bontle jo bogolo. E ne e lebosweu go feta sepe sa lefatshe se ke kileng ka se bona; le e seng gore kedumela gore selo sepe sa lefatshe se ka dirwa go lebege se le bosweujo bo feteletseng jaana le kgalalelo. Diatla tsa gagwe di ne di sa apara,le matsogo a gagwe gape, go tswa go se kae fa godimo ga ditokololotsa diatla; jalo, gape, dinao tsa gagwe di ne di sa apeswa sepe, felajaaka maoto a gagwe, go tloga go se kae fa godimo ga manyenana.Tlhogo le molala wa gagwe le tsone di ne di sa apeswa sepe. Ke ne kalemoga fa a ne a sa apara seaparo sepe gape fa e se purapura e, ka e nee bulegile, mo ke neng ke kgona go bona sehuba sa gagwe.

“E ne e se purapura ya gagwe fela e e neng e le bosweu jo bofeteletseng, mme mmele wa gagwe otlhe one o galalela mo go fetangbokao, le tebego ya sefatlhogo sa gagwe ruri e ne e kete legadima.Phaposi e ne e le lesedi le le feteletseng, mme e seng tshedimogo etona jaaka mo bogaufing jwa tikologo ya mmele wa gagwe. Fa ke moleba lwa ntlha, ke ne ka boifa; mme ka bofefo poifo e ne ya ntlogela.

“O ne a mpitsa ka leina, mme a re go nna gore e ne e le morongwa yoo rometsweng go tswa kwa bonnong jwa Modimo go tla kwa go nna, legore leina la gagwe ke Moronae; gore Modimo o na le tiro e ke tshwane-tseng go e dira; le gore leina la me le tshwanetse go itsewe ka ntlha yamolemo le bosula mo dit‰habeng tsotlhe, lotso, le diteme, kgotsa gore letshwanetse molemo le bosula di buiwe ka lone gareng ga merafe yotlhe.

“O ne a re go na le buka e e epetsweng, e e kwadilweng mo dipapetla-neng tsa gauta, e e fang pego ka ga banni ba lefatshe leno ba pele, lekwa ba tswang teng. O bile gape a re botlalo jwa Efangele e e senangbokhutlo bo ne bo le mo go yone, jaaka e neilwe ke Mmoloki go banniba bogologolo tala;

“Gape, o mpoleletse, gore fa ke tsaya dipapetlana tseo tse a neng abuile ka tsone—gonne nako e di tshwanetseng gore di ka tsewa e nee ise e diragadiwe—ke seka ka di bontsha motho ope; le fa e leseiphemelo-sehubeng se se nang le Urime le Thumime; fa e se ba ketlaa laolelwang go ba bontsha; fa ke ka dira, ke tlaa nyelediwa. Fa antse a bua le nna ka ga dipapetlana, pono e ne ya bulelwa mogopolowa me mo ke neng ka kgona go bona lefelo fa dipapetlana di neng diepetswe teng, mme seo ka tlhatswego le pharologanyo mo ke neng kaitse lefelo leo gape fa ke le etela.

“Morago ga puisanyo e, ke ne ka bona lesedi le le neng le le mophaposing le simolola go kgobokana mo tikologong ya motho yo oneng a sa tswa go bua le nna, mme le ne la tswelela go dira jalo, gofitlhelela phaposi e setse e le lefifi gape, fa e se fela mo tikologong yagagwe, fa ka bofefo jo bogolo ka bona, jaaka go ne go ntse, phaephe ebulegela ka tlhamalalo mo legodimong, mme a tlhatloga go fitlha anyelela gotlhelele, mme phaposi ya sala e ntse jaaka e ne e ntse pelega lesedi le la magodimo le iponatsa.

“Ke ne ka rapama, ke akantse ka ga boesi jwa pono e, mme kegakgamaletse se ke neng ke se boleletswe ke morongwa yo o fetangtlwaelesego yo; fa, mo gareng ga dikakanyo tsa me, ka tshogana kelemoga gore phaposi ya me gape e simolola go nna lesedi, mme kabofefo jo bogolo, jaaka gone go ntse, morongwa ene yole wa magodi-mo a bo gape a le fa letlhakoreng lwa bolao jwa me.

“A simolola, mme gape a boelela tota dilo tse o neng a di dira kaloeto lwa ntlha, go sena le fa e le pharologanyo e nnye; se e rileng a sedirile, a nkitsise ka ga dikatlholo tse dikgolo tse di neng di tla molefatsheng, ka dikakabalo tse di kgolo tsa tlala, t‰haka, le leroborobo;le gore dikatlholo tse di botlhoko tse di tlaa tla mo lefatsheng mometlheng ya gompieno. Fa a fetsa go bolela dilo tse, o ne a tlhatlogagape jaaka a ne a dira go le pele.

“Ka nako e, maitlhomo a a neng a dirilwe mo mogopolong wa me ane a le magolo, mo e leng gore boroko bone bo phatlaletse momatlhong a me, mme ka koama foo, ke fekeeditswe ke kgakgamaloya se ke se bonyeng ka ba ka se utlwa. Mme se e neng e le kgakgamaloya me fa gape ke bona morongwa ene yole fa tlhakoreng lwa bolaojwa me, mme ka mo utlwa a etsa kgotsa a boelela godimo gape go nnadilo tse di tshwanang le tsa pele; mme a oketsa ka tlhagiso mo go nna,a mpolelela gore Satane o tlaa leka go nthaela (ka ntlha ya khumane-go ya lelwapa la ga ntate), go tsaya dipapetlana ka maikaelelo a gohuma. Se a se nkiletsa, a bua gore ke seka ka nna le maikaelelo amangwe mo go tseyeng dipapetlana fa e se go galaletsa Modimo, ebile ke seka ka tlhotlhelediwa ke maikaelelo ape a mangwe fa e se goaga motse wa bogosi jwa Gagwe; go seng jalo ga ke kake ka di tsaya.

“Morago ga loeto lo lwa boraro, o ne gape a tlhatlogela kwalegodimong jaaka pele, mme ka tlogelwa gape go akanya ka keleleloka ga go sa tlwaelesega ga se ke sa tswang go se bona; fa ka bofefo

“Ke ne moragonyana ka ema go tswa mo bolaong jwa me, mme,jaaka gale, ka ya le ditiro tse di tlhokafalang tsa letsatsi; mme, mo golekeng go dira jaaka ka dinako tse dingwe, ke ne ka fitlhela nonofo yame e fedile mo go ntirang gore ke se kgone gotlhelele.

“Selo sa ntlha se ke se gakologelwang e ne e le lentswe le le nengla bua le nna, le mpitsa ka leina. Ka leba kwa godimo, mme ka bonamorongwa ene yole gape a eme fa godimo ga tlhogo ya me, a dikolo-gilwe ke lesedi jaaka pele. O ne gape a mpolelela se a neng a sempoleletse bosigo jo bo fetileng, mme a ntaolela gore ke ye kwago ntate le go mmolelela ka ga pono le ditaelo tse ke di amogetseng.

Ke ne ka tlogela tshimo, mme ka ya kwa lefelong le morongwaa neng a mpoleletse gore dipapetlana di epetswe teng; mme ka ntlhaya go tlhatswega ga pono e ke neng ke nnile nayo ka lone, ke ne kaitse lefelo leo fela fa ke goroga kwa go lone.

“Gaufi le motse wa Manchester, kgaolo ya Ontario, New York, goeme lentswe la selekanyo se se bonalang, le le tlhatlogileng go feta lepemo tikologong.

KGAOLO 1

NNA, Nifae, ke tsetswe kebatsadi ba ba molemo,

18 Jalo he, ke eletsa gore loitse, gore morago ga Morena asena go bontsha dilo tse dintsitse di gakgamatsang go ntate,Lihae, ee, ka ga tshenyego yaJerusalema, bonang, o ne a yagareng ga batho, mme a simo-lola go porofita le go bega gobone ka dilo tse a di bonyeng aba a di utlwa.

19 Mme go ne ga diragala goreBajuta ba mo sotle ka ntlha yadilo tse a neng a di paka ka gabone; gonne ka boammaaruri one a paka ka ga boleo le bodia-bole jwa bone; mme o ne a pakagore dilo tse a di bonyeng a baa di utlwa, ga mmogo le dilo tsea di badileng mo bukeng, disupa ka tlhamalalo ka go tla gaga Mesia, ga mmogo le theko-lolo ya lefatshe.

Mme bonang,nna, Nifae, ke tlaa supegetsa golona gore mautlwelobotlhoko aa bonolo a Morena a godimo gabotlhe bao ba a ba tlhophileng,ka ntlha ya tumelo ya bone, goba dira dinatla le go thata yakgololo tota.

9 Jaanong, ka ntlha ya goreGiteone o ne a emelana le eneka mafoko a Modimo o ne agalefela Giteone, mme a somolat‰haka ya gagwe mme a simolo-la go mo itaya. Jaanong Giteoneka a ne a koafetse ka dingwagadi le dintsi, jalo he o ne a sekaa kgona go emela dititeo tsagagwe, jalo he o ne a bolawa kat‰haka.

Mme bona, ga omolato wa boperesiti-bofereferefela, mme o lekile go bo gatelelaka t‰haka; mme fa boperesiti-boferefere bo ne bo ka gatele-lwa gareng ga batho ba bo tlaatlhomamisa tshenyego ya bonegotlhelele.

19 Mme go ne ga diragala goremang yo o neng a se wa kerekeya Modimo ba simolola gotshwenya bao ba e neng e leba kereke ya Modimo, mme batshotse mo go bone leina la gaKeresete.

20 Ee, ba ne ba ba tshwenya, lego ba bogisa ka mekgwa yotlheya mafoko, mme se ka ntlha yaboikokobetso jwa bone; gonneba ne ba se boikgogomoso momatlhong a bone, mme ka ntlhaya gore ba ne ba bolelela lefokola Modimo, mongwe le yo mo-ngwe, kwa ntle ga madi le kwantle ga tlhwatlhwa.

Mme fa baperesiti ba senago bolelela go bone lefoko laModimo ba ne botlhe ba boelagape ka tlhoafalo kwa ditirongtsa bone; mme moperesiti, a saitlotlomatse godimo ga bautlwiba gagwe, gonne moreri o ne ase botoka go feta moutlwi, le eseng gore moruti o ne a le boto-ka go feta moithuti; mme jalo

28 Mme jalo ba ne ba tlhomamerero ya kereke; mme jalo bane ba simolola go nna le kagisoe e tsweletseng gape, go sakgathalesege matshwenyego abone.

31 Mme jalo ba ne ba tswelelamme ba nna bahumi thata gofeta bao ba ba neng e se bakereke ya bone.

Moronae 7:10–19 634

10 Ka jalo he, motho ka a lebosula ga a kake a dira seo se semolemo; le e seng gore o ka fampho e e molemo.

22 Gonne bonang, Modimo aitse dilo tsotlhe, a le go tswabosenang bokhutlo go ya bose-nang bokhutlo, bonang, o rome-tse baengele go ruta go bana babatho, go supa mabapi le gotla ga ga Keresete; mme mo goKeresete go tlaa tla selo sengwele sengwe se se molemo.

23 Mme Modimo le ene o begi-le go baporofiti, ka molomo wagagwe, gore Keresete o tlaa tla.

24 Mme bonang, go ne go leditsela tse di farologaneng tse aneng a supegetsa dilo go banaba batho, tse di neng di le mole-mo; mme dilo tsotlhe tse dimolemo di tswa go Keresete; goseng jalo batho ba ole, mme goka bo go se sepe se se molemose tla go bone.

25 Ka jalo he, ka go direla gabaengele, le ka lefoko lengwe lelengwe le le duleng mo molo-mong wa Modimo, batho basimolotse go dirisa tumelo mogo Keresete; mme jalo ka tume-lo, ba ne ba tshwara sengwe lesengwe se se molemo; mmejalo go ne go ntse go fitlhelelago tla ga ga Keresete.

26 Mme morago gore a tlebatho le bone ba ne ba bolokwaka tumelo mo leineng la gagwe;mme ka tumelo, ba nna barwa

27 Ka jalo he, bakaulengwe bame ba ba rategang, a dikgakga-matso di eme ka ntlha ya goreKeresete o tlhatlogetse kwa le-godimong, mme o ntse fatshemo seatleng sa moja sa Modimo,go batla mo go Rara ditshwane-lo tsa gagwe tsa kutlwelobotlho-ko e a nang le yone mo banengba batho?

28 Gonne o arabile dikemo tsamolao, mme o tsaya botlhe baoba ba nang le tumelo mo goene; mme bone ba ba nang letumelo mo go ene ba tlaa nga-parela go selo sengwe le sengwese se molemo; ka jalo he o bue-lela maikemisetso a bana babatho; mme o nna ka bosakhu-tleng mo magodimong.

29 Mme ka ntlha ya gore odirile se, bakaulengwe ba me baba rategang, a dikgakgamatso dieme? Bonang ke lo raya ke re,Nnyaa; le e seng gore baengeleba emisetse go direla go banaba batho.

30 Gonne bonang, ba mo tao-long ya gagwe, go direla go yaka fa lefokong la taelo ya ga-gwe, ba itshupa go bone ba tu-melo e e nonofileng le mogopoloo o tsepameng mo popegongnngwe le nngwe ya semodimo.

Modimo o baakanya tsela goremaselela a batho ba ka nna letumelo mo go Keresete, goreMowa o o Boitshepho o ka nnale lefelo mo dipelong tsa bone,go ya ka fa thateng ya one; mmemorago ga mokgwa o go dira-gatsa Rara, dikgolagano tse adi dirileng go bana ba batho.

33 Mme Keresete o rile: Fa oka nna le tumelo mo go nna otlaa nna le thata go dira sengwele sengwe selo se se botlhokwamo go nna.

34 Mme o rile: Ikotlhaeng lonadikhutlo tsa lefatshe, mme lotle go nna, mme lo kolobediwemo leineng la me, mme lo nnele tumelo mo go nna, gore lo katla lwa bolokwa.

35 Mme jaanong, bakaulengweba me ba ba rategang, fa e legore se ke seemo gore dilo keboammaaruri tse ke di builenggo lona, mme Modimo o tlaasupa go lona, ka thata le kgala-lelo e kgolo ka letsatsi la bofelo,gore di boammaaruri, mme fadi le boammaaruri a letsatsi ladikgakgamatso le eme?

36 Kgotsa a baengele ba eme-sitse go bonala go bana babatho? Kgotsa a o kganetse thataya Mowa o o Botshepho go tswago bone? Kgotsa a o tlaa, fela fanako e tlaa nna teng, kgotsa

37 Bonang ka re go lona,Nnyaa; gonne ke ka tumelogore dikgakgamatso di a dirwa;e bile ke ka tumelo gore baenge-le ba a bonala le go direla gobatho; ka jalo he, fa dilo tse dieme khutsafalo go bana ba ba-tho, gonne ke ka ntlha ya tlhokatumelo, mme gotlhe ke lefela.

38 Gonne motho ope ga a kakea bolokwa, go ya ka fa mafo-kong a ga Keresete, fa e se batlaa nna le tumelo mo leinengla gagwe; ka jalo he, fa dilo tsedi eme, jaanong foo tumelo leyone e eme; mme poitshego keseemo sa motho, gonne ba jaa-ka e kete go ne go ise go nne lethekololo e dirilwe.

39 Mme bonang, bakaulengweba me ba ba rategang, ke atlho-la dilo tse di botoka ka lona,gonne ke atlhola gore lo na letumelo mo go Keresete ka ntlhaya bonolo jwa lona; gonne fa losena tumelo mo go ene jaanongfoo ga lo a lekana go balelwagareng ga batho ba kereke yagagwe.

40 Mme gape, bakaulengwe bame ba ba rategang, ke tlaa buago lona mabapi le tsholofelo. Keka jang gore lo ka kgona go nnale tumelo, fa e se lo tlaa nna letsholofelo?

41 Mme ke eng se lo tlaa sesolofelang? Bonang ka re go lo-na gore lo tlaa nna le tsholofeloka tetlanyo ya ga Keresete lethata ya tsogo ya gagwe, go tso-swa go botshelo jo bosakhutleng,

637 Moronae 7:42–8:2

mme se ka ntlha ya tumelo yalona mo go ene go ya ka fatsholofetsong.42 Ka jalo he, fa motho a na le

43 Mme gape, bonang ka re golona gore ga a kake a nna letumelo le tsholofelo, fa e se felaa tlaa nna bonolo, le boikoko-betso jwa pelo.

44 Fa go le jalo, tumelo yagagwe le tsholofelo ke lefela,gonne ope ga a amogelesegefa pele ga Modimo, fa e se baba bonolo le boikokobetso jwapelo; mme fa motho a le bonolole boikokobetso jwa pelo, mmea ipolela ka thata ya Mowa oo Boitshepho gore Jesu keKeresete, o tshwanetse go tlho-kega a na le bopelonomi; gonnefa a sena bopelonomi ga a sepe;ka jalo he o tshwanetse go tlho-kega a nne le bopelonomi.

Ga ba na thulaganyo e bile gaba kutlwelobotlhoko. Bona, kemonna fela, mme ke na le felathata ya monna, mme ga kekake ka tlhola ke patelela dita-elo tsa me.

20 Mme jaanong, morwaaka,ga ke sa tlhole ke nna mo po-nong e e boitshegang e. Bona,o itse boleofi jwa batho ba; oitse gore ga ba na molawanawa tlholego, mme ba fetile go

21 Bona, morwaaka, ga ke kakeka ba bua bontle go Modimo ese re kgotsa o tlaa nkitaya.

22 Mme bona, morwaaka, kebua wena bontle go Modimo,mme ke tshepha mo go Keresetegore o tlaa bolokwa; mme kerapela go Modimo gore a baba-lele botshelo jwa gago, go bonago boela ga batho ba gagwe goene, kgotsa go senngwa gotlhe-lele ga bone; gonne ke itse goreba tshwanetse go nyelela kwantle ga ba ka ikotlhaya mme baboela kwa go ene.

23 Mme fa ba nyelela go tlaa bogo le jaaka go Bajarete, ka ntlhaya go rata ga dipelo tsa bone,ba batla madi le go busolosa.
