“Lo Dire Batho ba Merafe Yotlhe Barutwa”

“JALO tsamayang mme lo dire batho ba merafe yotlhe barutwa, lo ba kolobetsa mo leineng la Rara le la Morwa le la moya o o boitshepo.” E ke tsela e Thanolo ya Lefatshe le Lesha e ranolang taelo ya ga Jesu ka yone mo go Mathaio 28:19. Le fa go ntse jalo, thanolo eno e ile ya tshwaiwa phoso. Ka sekai, pampitshana nngwe ya bodumedi e bolela jaana: “Thanolo fela e e letlelelwang ya temana ya Segerika ke eno: ‘Lo dire merafe yotlhe barutwa!’” A seno se boammaaruri?

Thanolo eno e e reng, “Lo dire merafe yotlhe barutwa,” e bonala mo dithanolong di le dintsi tsa Baebele e bile ke thanolo e e ranotsweng lefoko ka lefoko ya Segerika. Ka jalo, ke ka ntlha yang fa e balega ka gore, “Lo dire batho ba merafe yotlhe barutwa, lo ba kolobetsa”? Ke se go buiwang ka sone mo temaneng eo. Mafoko a a reng “lo ba kolobetsa” go phepafetse gore a bolela batho, e seng merafe. Mokanoki wa Mojeremane e bong Hans Bruns o bolela jaana: “[Lefoko] le le reng ‘ba’ ga le bolele ka merafe (Segerika se farologanya seno sentle), mme le bolela ka batho ba ba mo merafeng.”

Mo godimo ga moo, tsela e taelo ya ga Jesu e builweng ka yone e tshwanetse ya elwa tlhoko. Malebana le bodiredi jwa ga Paulo le Barenabase kwa Derebe, e leng motse wa Asia Minor, re bala jaana: “Fa a sena go bolelela motse oo dikgang tse di molemo le go dira barutwa ba le bantsi thata, ba boela kwa Lisetera le kwa Ikonio le kwa Antioka.” (Ditiro 14:21) Ela tlhoko gore Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba dira barutwa, e seng ba motse wa Derebe, mme bangwe ba batho ba Derebe.

Ka mo go tshwanang, malebana le motlha wa bokhutlo, buka ya Tshenolo ga e bolelele pele gore merafe yotlhe e tla direla Modimo, mme e bolela gore ‘boidiidi jo bogolo . . . jo bo tswang mo merafeng yotlhe le ditso le batho le diteme’ bo ne bo tla dira jalo. (Tshenolo 7:9) Ka gone, Thanolo ya Lefatshe le Lesha e nna e ntse e tlhomologile e le thanolo e e ikanyegang ya ‘Lokwalo lotlhe lo lo tlhotlheleditsweng ke Modimo.’—2 Timotheo 3:16.
