Acts 4
1 And as they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,
Mme ya re ba santse ba bua le batho, baperesiti ba bagolo le molaodi wa mapodisi a Tempele, le bangwe ba Basadukai ba tla kwa go bone,
2 being greatly annoyed because of their teaching the people, and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
ba tshwenyegile thata ka ntlha ya gore Petere le Johane ba ne ba bolela gore Jesu o tsogile mo baswing.
3 And they threw hands on them, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was now evening.
Ba ba tshwara, mme ka go ne go setse go le maitsiboa, ba ba tlhatlhela mo tlung ya kgolegelo bosigo jotlhe.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.
Mme bontsi jwa batho ba ba utlwileng molaetsa wa bone ba o dumela, mo e leng gore palo ya badumedi e ne ya tsholetsega ya batla go nna dikete tse tlhano!
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, to be assembled in Jerusalem, their rulers, and elders, and scholars,
Erile ka letsatsi le le latelang ga diragala gore Lekgotla la baeteledipele ba Sejuta le bo le phuthegetse mo Jerusalema.
6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family.
Anase Moperesiti yo mogolo a bo a le teng, le Kaiafase, Johane, Alekesandere le ba bangwe ba losika lwa Moperesiti yo Mogolo.
7 And after placing them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?
Jalo barutwa ba babedi ba leriwe kwa go bone. Mme lekgotla la ba botsa la re, “Lo dirile selo se ka nonofo ya ga mang kgotsa ka taolo ya ga mang?”
8 Then Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Mme Petere, ka a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo a ba raya a re, “Baeteledipele ba ba tlotlegang le ditlhogo tsa sechaba sa rona,
9 if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed,
fa lo raya tiro e ntle e e diretsweng segole se, le ka fa o neng a fodisiwa ka teng,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy.
a nke ke lo bolelele sentle lona le batho botlhe ba Iseraele gore tiro e e dirilwe ka leina le nonofo ya ga Jesu wa Nasaretha, Mesia, monna yo lo mmapotseng, mme Modimo o mo tsositse mo baswing. Ke ka nonofo ya gagwe fa monna yo a eme fano a fodile!
11 This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner.
Gonne Jesu Mesia (ene yo go buiwang ka ga gagwe mo dikwalong) ke ‘lentswe je le gannweng ke baagi le le neng la nna lentswe la kgokgotshwana.’
12 And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.
Ga go na poloko mo go ope! Ka fa tlase ga legodimo lotlhe ga gona leina lepe le batho ba ka le bitsang gore ba bolokwe.”
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
Erile Lekgotla le bona bopelokgale jwa ga Petere le Johane, gape le lemoga gore ga ba a rutega ke batho fela, ba hakgamala mme ba lemoga gore go nna le Jesu go ba diretse eng.
14 And seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.
Mme Lekgotla le ne le se kake la latola go fodisiwa ga gagwe gonne motho yo o neng a fodisitswe o ne a eme gone foo gaufi nabo!
15 But after commanding them to go outside of the council, they conferred among each other,
Mme ba ba ntshetsa kwa ntle ga ntlwana e Lekgotla le kopanelang mo go yone ba sala ba gakololana.
16 saying, What will we do to these men? For that indeed a notable sign has happened by them, is apparent to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Ba botsana ba re, “Re tlaa dirang ka banna ba? Ga re ka ke ra ganela gore ba dirile kgakgamatso e kgolo, gonne mongwe le mongwe mo Jerusalema o itse ka ga selo se.
17 But that it may not spread on further among the people, let us threaten them with threats to speak no longer in this name, to not one man.
Mme gongwe re ka ba emisa mo go anamiseng tumelo ya bone. Re tlaa ba bolelela gore fa ba ka dira gape jalo re tlaa dira gore ba obamele molao wa rona ka kgang.”
18 And having called them, they commanded them entirely, not to utter nor to teach in the name of Jesus.
Mme ba ba biletsa mo teng, ba ba raya ba re ba seka ba tlhola ba bua sepe ka ga Jesu.
19 But Peter and John having replied to them, they said, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than God, judge ye.
Mme Petere le Johane ba ba raya ba re, “Atlholang lona gore a Modimo o batla re reetsa lona mo boemong jwa one!
20 For we are not able not to speak what we saw and heard.
Ga re ka ke ra khutlisa go bua ka dilo tse di ntle tse re bonyeng Jesu a di dira ebile re mo utlwile a di bua.”
21 And they, having further threatened, released them, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people. Since all glorified God for that which happened.
Mme Lekgotla la ba bopela, lwa bofelo ba ba lesa ba tsamaya gonne ba ne ba sa itse gore ba ka ba otlhaya jang kwa ntle ga go tsosa mokubukubu. Gonne mongwe le mongwe o ne a galaletsa Modimo ka ntlha ya tiro e ntle e,
22 For the man was more than forty years old on whom this sign of healing had occurred.
ebong phodiso ya monna yo o saleng a lwetse dingwaga di le masome mane!
23 And after being released, they went to their own men, and reported as many things as the chief priests and the elders said to them.
Ka bofefo fela fa ba sena go gololwa, Petere le Johane ba bona barutwa ba bangwe mme ba ba bolelela se Lekgotla le se ba reileng.
24 And those who heard lifted up a voice to God with one accord, and said, Thou Master, the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things in them.
Mme badumedi botlhe ba kopanela thapelo e: “Oo Morena yo o dirileng legodimo le lefatshe le lewatle le tsotlhe tse di mo go tsone,
25 He who said through the mouth of thy boy David, Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
o buile bogologolo ka Mowa O O Boitshepo ka mogolwagolwane wa rona, motlhanka wa gago Kgosi Dafide, wa re ‘Ke ka ntlha yang fa baheitane ba tsogologela Morena, le merafe e e dieleele e dira maanonyana a a kgatlhanong le Modimo-Mothata-Yotlhe? Dikgosi tsa lefatshe di a kopana go tlhabantsha Morwa Modimo yo o tloditsweng!’
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For in truth, against thy holy Boy Jesus, whom thou anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
“Ke sone se se diragalang fano mo motseng o gompieno! Gonne Kgosi Herode, le Ponto Pilato mmusi, le ba-Roma botlhe le batho ba Iseraele, ba kopanetse Jesu, Morwa yo o tloditsweng, motlhanka wa gago yo o boitshepo.
28 to do as many things as thy hand and thy purpose predetermined to happen.
Ga ba na go tlogela le fa e le sepe se wena mo nonofong ya gago o tlaa ba letlang go se dira.
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,
Mme jaanong Morena, utlwa go bopa ga bone, mme o neye batlhanka ba gago bopelokgale jo bogolo mo therong ya bone,
30 by thy stretching forth thy hand for healing, and signs and wonders to happen through the name of thy holy Boy Jesus.
o bo o romele nonofo ya gago ya phodiso, le dikgakgamatso di le dintsi le ditshupo di dirwe ka leina la motlhanka wa gago yo o itshepileng Jesu.”
31 And when they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Morago ga thapelo e, kago e ba neng ba kopanetse mo go yone ya tshikinyega, mme botlhe ba tlala Mowa O O Boitshepo mme ba rera molaetsa wa Modimo ka bopelokgale.
32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them.
Badumedi botlhe ba ne ba le pelo e le nngwe le mowa o le mongwe, mme ga bo go sena ope yo o reng sepe sa dilo tse o nang natso ke sa gagwe; mme dilo tsotlhe ba ne ba di tlhakanetse.
33 And with great power the apostles gave back the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
Mme baaposetoloi ba rera dithero tse di nonofileng ka ga tsogo ya ga Morena Jesu, mme ga nna le bolekane jo bo nitameng mo badumeding botlhe.
34 For not even any needy was among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling, they brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Go ne go sena ope yo o tlhokang, gonne botlhe ba ba neng ba na le ditsha kgotsa matlo ba ne ba a rekisa ba tlisa madi kwa baaposetoloing go a abela ba ba tlhokang.
35 and placed them at the apostles' feet. And it was distributed to each, according as any man had need.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles, Barnabas (which is, being translated, son of encouragement), a Levite, a Cypriot by nationality,
Jaaka go ne go na le Josefa, (yo baaposetoloi ba neng ba mmitsa “Barenabase wa Moreti!” E ne e le wa Balifi ba kwa setlhaketlhakeng sa Kupero).
37 having sold a field that was possessed by him, brought the money and placed it at the apostles' feet.
E ne e le mongwe wa ba ba neng ba rekisa ditsha tsa bone tse ba neng ba na natso mme ba tlisa madi kwa baaposetoloing gore ba a abele ba ba tlhokang.
