A Jesu o Swetse mo Sefapaanong?
Karabo ya Baebele
Batho ba le bantsi ba tsaya sefapaano e le letshwao le le tlwaelegileng thata la Bokeresete. Le fa go ntse jalo, Baebele ga e tlhalose selo se Jesu a bolaetsweng mo go sone, ka jalo ga go na ope yo o ka tlhomamisang gore se ne se ntse jang. Mme gone, Baebele e re naya bosupi jwa gore Jesu ga a swela mo sefapaanong mme o swetse mo koteng e e tlhamaletseng.
Gantsi Baebele e dirisa lefoko la Segerika e leng stau·ros′ fa e bua ka selo se Jesu a bolaetsweng mo go sone. (Mathaio 27:40; Johane 19:17) Le fa gantsi baranodi ba ranola lefoko leno e le “sefapaano,” baithuti ba le bantsi ba Baebele ba dumela gore go tswa kwa tshimologong lefoko leno le kaya “kota e e tlhamaletseng.” * Go ya ka A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament, lefoko stau·ros′ “ga le kaye magong a mabedi a a fapaantsweng.”
Gape Baebele e dirisa lefoko la Segerika e leng xy′lon e le lekaelagongwe la lefoko stau·ros′. (Ditiro 5:30; 1 Petere 2:24) Lefoko leno le kaya “logong,” “kota” kgotsa “setlhare.” * Ka jalo, The Companion Bible e bolela jaana: “Ga go na sepe mo Segerikeng sa [Tesetamente e Ntšha] se se bontshang gore go ne go dirisitswe magong a mabedi a a fapaantsweng.”
A Modimo o amogela kobamelo e go dirisiwang sefapaano mo go yone?
Le fa Jesu a ka tswa a bolaetswe mo go eng, dintlha tse di latelang le ditemana tsa Baebele di bontsha gore ga re a tshwanela go dirisa sefapaano mo kobamelong.
Modimo ga a amogele kobamelo e go dirisiwang ditshwantsho kgotsa matshwao mo go yone, go akaretsa le sefapaano. Modimo o ne a laela Baiseraele gore ba se ka ba dirisa “popego ya setshwantsho sepe” mo kobamelong ya bone mme Bakeresete le bone ba bolelelwa gore ba ‘tshabe kobamelo ya medingwana.’—Duteronome 4:15-19; 1 Bakorintha 10:14.
Bakeresete ba lekgolo la ntlha la dingwaga ba ne ba sa dirise sefapaano mo kobamelong ya bone. * Bakeresete botlhe ba tshwanetse go latela dithuto tsa baaposetoloi le go etsa sekao sa bone.—2 Bathesalonika 2:15.
Go dirisiwa ga sefapaano mo kobamelong go simologile mo bathong ba ba sa obameleng Modimo. * Makgolo a dingwaga morago ga loso lwa ga Jesu, fa dikereke di ne di sa latele dithuto tsa gagwe, maloko a masha a kereke a ne a “letlelelwa go tswelela a dirisa ditshwantsho le matshwao a one a boheitane,” go akaretsa le sefapaano. (The Expanded Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words) Le fa go ntse jalo, Baebele ga e kgothaletse gore go dirwe barutwa ba basha ka go letlelela batho go dirisa matshwao a boheitane.—2 Bakorintha 6:17.
