I think it should be quite readily apparent to us all that this could not be described as ʻjusticeʼ.

Empa, ka hlakoreng le leng, how can we be held responsible for the unforeseen consequences of such actions? And how can we be blamed for finding ourselves victims of circumstances that are beyond our control? Is it my fault if I was raised in poverty or abuse and turned to crime or prostitution: or is it to my credit if I were raised in a family of wealthy philanthropists?

Come to that, what real responsibility can I possibly have for what happens to those around me? Am I my brothers’ keeper? This sounds like a good opt-out: but way back in the opening chapters of Genesis God makes it very clear that such claims won’t wash. Sheba hape pale ea mantlha ea Kaine le Abele…

Monna o ne a tseba Eva mosadi wa hae. O ile a ima, mme a tswala Kaine … A boela a beleha, ho Abele, ngoan’abo Kaine. Abele e ne e le molisa oa linku, empa Kaine e ne e le molemi wa mobu. Ha nako e ntse e feta, ha etsahala hore Kaine a tlisetse Jehova nyehelo e tswang ditholwaneng tsa naha. Abele le yena a tlisa matsibolo a mohlape wa hae le mafura a wona. Jehova a tadima Abele le nyehelo ya hae, empa ha a ka a tadima Kaine le nyehelo ya hae. Kaine a halefa haholo, mme sefahleho sa hae sa itihela fatshe. Jehova a re ho Kaine, “Ke hobane'ng ha u halefile? Ke hobane'ng ha ponahalo ea sefahleho sa hao e oele? Ha o etsa hantle, na e ke ke ea phahamisoa? Haeba u sa etse hantle, sebe se laletse monyako. Takatso ea eona e ho uena, empa o tla busa hodima yona.” … It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him. Jehova a re ho Kaine, “Where is Abel, your brother?” O boletse, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. Ho tloha joale, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.” Cain said to Yahweh, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. Bona, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Ho tla etsahala hore ya mphumanang a mpolaye.” Jehova a re ho yena, “Ka hona, mang kapa mang ea bolaeang Kaine, phetetso e tla phethwa ho wona hasupa.” Jehova a bea pontsho bakeng sa Kaine, esere e mong a mo fumana a ka mo otla.
(Genesis 4:1-15)

Hlokomela hore taba eo Molimo a neng a e totobatsa e ne e se mofuta oa nyehelo e neng e etsoa, leha e le hore na ke mang oa pele oa ho e etsa: empa boikutlo ba pelo boo e neng e nyeheloa ka bona.

Le 'Na ke Molato!

Ke hlahile ka mor’a Ntoa ea Bobeli ea Lefatše; kaha lira tsa pele li ne li batla ho ba metsoalle hape. Metlae le lifilimi li ne li lula li bontša ‘lehlakore la rōna’ joalo ka bahale le sera joalo ka batho ba se nang melao: leha ho le joalo ho ne ho boetse ho na le lipale tse neng li phetoa ka lipontšo tsa botho bo khabane ke batho ba tsoang mahlakoreng ka bobeli a karohano. Kahoo, ha ke sa le mocha ea sa hopoleng liketso tse sehlōhō tsa nakong ea ntoa hangata ke ne ke fumana ho le bonolo ho amohela moea oa poelano ha ho ntse ho thehoa lilekane le setsoalle se secha..

Leha ho le joalo, the more I have witnessed of the depths of inhumanity to which mankind may sink, the harder I find it to understand and forgive.

As Ukraine’s fortunes in the present conflict with Russia have improved, my thoughts and prayers have turned increasingly to the question of how the warring parties can ever be reconciled; and I have been shocked to discover just how deeply the demand for recompence had eaten its way into my own heart.

I have struggled to maintain as far as possible an open heart towards those on both sides, remembering how easy it is to get dragged into the cycle of deception and revenge, ho thaba ha ho ’na ho bonahala eka lira li fumana ‘mahoatata a tsona a lokileng.’ Ke ’nile ka nahanisisa ka tsela eo ea bodiabolose eo ka eona matsoalo a batho a chelehang ’me a iphapanyetsa mahlomola a ba bang..

Ho ka ba joang ho hlokomela hore u fetohile Putin kapa Hitler ka mali a likete matsohong a hau? U ne u ka tšepa ho etsa litokiso joang? Ke nako efeng e seng e le morao haholo ho baka?

Molato oa Sebele o Letse Hokae?

Ho na le anecdote ea khale e reng, ha Adama a ne a ja apole, o ile a beha Molimo molato ka ho etsa Eva: empa Eva a qosa Noha - mme Noha e ne e sena leoto leo e ka emang ka lona! Sena se ka tsosa litšeho tse seng kae: empa e fosa ntlha. Ha e le hantle Noha e ile ea qala teko ea eona ka ho bolela hore ke Molimo, ho bona esale pele bokgoni ba motho bakeng sa boholo, o ne a hanela Adama ka boomo kutloisiso e feletseng ea Molemo le Bobe. Ana e ne e le leshano la khale la mofuta o mobe ka ho fetisisa; hobane ho ne ho le jwalo hoo e ka bang nnete. Adama o ne a se a ntse a e-na le mokhoa o sa thibeloang oa ho fumana seliba sa tsebo eohle - Molimo ka boeena. Tsebo feela eo Adama a neng a e hloka e ne e le ea Bokhopo; ’me sohle se neng se hlokahala hore Adama a tšele moeli oo o mahlonoko e ne e le ho etsa seo Satane ka boeena a se entseng, ka ho khetha lithahasello tsa hae ho e-na le ho rata le ho tšepa Ea mo entseng.

Ho latela tsela e sothehileng ea Satane ea ho nahana, hore a be ‘joaloka molimo’ ka sebele o ne a lokela ho ba le matla a ho hanyetsa thato ea Molimo. Mohlomong, joalo ka ha ba bang ba entse, o ne a nahana hore Molimo ke eena ea hlileng a leng molato. Ebile, hoja Molimo a sa ka a re fa bolokolohi ba ho ikhethela, ho ka be ho bile le bothata qalong, e ka ba teng? Mme e tlameha ebe Modimo o tsebile se neng se tla etsahala; kahoo seo ha se etse Molimo ka boeena mohloli oa bobe? Ka kutloisiso e le 'ngoe, seo ke nnete ka ho phethahala - mme Modimo ha a latole!

Ke bopa lesedi, le ho etsa lefifi. Ke etsa kgotso, le ho baka tlokotsi. Ke nna Jehova, ya etsang tsena tsohle. (Isa 45:7)

'Nete ke hore Molimo ka nepo e entseng hore re khone ho etsa bobe, feela ka ho re fa matla a ho khetha hore na re rata kapa che. Ka ho bopa lesedi, Molimo o ile a boela a hlalosa lefifi e le ho ba sieo ha leseli. Le ka tsela e tšoanang, ka ho theha makhabane a kang khotso le lerato, bobe bo hlalosoa ka tsela e iketsang e le bosieo ba lintho tsena. Empa seo ha se etse hore Molimo ka boeena a be khopo - hole le hona! Molato oa sebele, le phapang ea bohlokoa ea boitšoaro lipakeng tsa batho bao ho buuoang ka bona, ho itšetlehile ka khetho eo ba e etsang le sepheo sa khetho eo. Ntho e ka sehloohong eo Molimo a amehileng ka eona ke boiketlo ba pōpo ea hae, ho sa tsotellehe hore na sena se ka ’na sa mo jella eng ka seqo: athe molemo o moholo oa Satane ke ho bolela hore o lekana le Molimo ka ho hanyetsa thato ea Molimo.

Haele rona, re ile ra qala ka ho latela melao ea Molimo: empa joale ba hoheloa hore ba phele bophelo ba boithati; o ntse o lakatsa bokgabane: empa batshwaruwa ba ditakatso tsa rona tsa nama.

Etsoe molemo oo ke ratang ho o etsa ha ke o etse, empa bobe boo ke sa rateng ho bo etsa ke bona boo ke ntseng ke bo etsa. ... Hobane ka botho ba ka ke thabela molao wa Modimo; empa ke bona molao o mong o sebetsa ho nna, ke lwa le molao wa pelo ya ka, le ho nkenya motshwaruwa wa molao wa sebe o sebetsang ka hare ho nna. Ke monna ea soto hakaakang! Ke mang ya tla ntopolla mmeleng ona o isang lefung? (Rom 7:19,22-24)

Buck E Ema Mona

Joale kae e etsa joalo the buck stop le hore na re ka fumana tokoloho joang kotlong e re tšoanelang le lefa la rona la molato? Sefapanong! Ena ke ntlha eo Molimo a leng ho eona, bothong ba Jesu, ka molao o ile a inkela boikarabelo ba ho qetela ’me a mamella liphello tsa bobe bohle bo kileng ba etsoa.

Mona ke hona feela moo bohle ba nyatsuoang, bohle ba ka tšoareloa; mme ha ho ya ka emang kahlolong kgahlano le e mong. Notice especially Jesus’ teaching about the unforgiving servant…

Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, bana ba hae, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, ho bua, ‘Morena, have patience with me, mme ke tla le buseletsa bohle!’ Morena wa mohlanka eo, ho susumetsoa ke kutloelo bohloko, mo lokolla, mme a mo lebalela molato. “Empa mohlanka eo a tswa, mme a fumana e mong wa bahlanka ka yena, ya neng a mo kolota didenari tse lekgolo, mme a mo tshwara, mme a mo tshwara ka mmetso, ho bua, ‘Nfe seo o kolotang sona!’ “Kahoo mohlanka-’moho le eena a itihela maotong a hae ’me a mo kōpa, ho bua, ‘E-ba le mamello le ’na, mme ke tla o buseletsa!’ O ne a ka hana, empa a ya, a mo lahlela teronkong, ho fihlela a lefa se neng se kolota. Kahoo ha bahlanka-’moho le eena ba bona se entsoeng, ba ile ba swaba haholo, ba tla, ba tsebisa morena wa bona tsohle tse etsahetseng. Eaba morena oa hae o mo bitsa, mme a re ho yena, ‘Uena mohlanka ea khopo! Ke le lebaletse molato oo kaofela, hobane o nthapile. Na le uena u ne u sa lokela ho hauhela mohlanka-’moho le uena, feela joalokaha ke ile ka u hauhela?’ Morena wa hae a halefa, mme a mo neela bahlorisi, ho fihlela a lefa tsohle tse mo lokelang. Le Ntate oa leholimo o tla le etsa joalo, haeba le sa tšoarele ngoan’abo lōna ka lipelo tsa lōna ka litšito tsa hae.” (Mat 18:23-35[/]x)

Sefapano ke terone ea Molimo ea mohau, moo bohle ba ka fumanang tshwarelo. Empa ka ho iketsa hore re ahlole boleng ba batho ba bang’ meea, re latola wona mohau oo re o labalabelang. Ho e-na le hoo, ho hlokahala hore re latele litaelo tsa Molimo e le hore re thehe mokhatlo oa Hae oa lerato lefatšeng. Mme, ho fihlela moo, ka linako tsohle re lokela ho falimehela menyetla leha e le efe ea ho thusa le ho khothatsa ba bang hore ba be le phihlelo e khōloanyane ea lerato la Molimo. (Bona hape che. 18:2-32 & 33:2-20.)
