Acts 11

1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Ka bonako dikgang tsa fitlha kwa baaposetoloing le bakaulengwe ba bangwe kwa Judea gore Badichaba le bone ba amogetse Lefoko la Modimo.

2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

Mme erile Petere a boela kwa Jerusalema, badumedi ba Bajuta ba ganetsanya nae.

3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”

Ba ne ba mmaya molato ba re, “O itsalantse le Badichaba ebile o jele nabo.”

4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

Mme Petere a ba bolelela polelo yotlhe.

5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

O ne a re, “Erile letsatsi lengwe mo Jopa ke sa ntse ke rapela, ka bona ponatshegelo, letsela le legolo la fologela fa fatshe ka dinaka tsa lone tse nne le tswa legodimong.

6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

Mo letseleng go ne go le mefuta yotlhe ya diphologolo, digagabi le dinonyane (tse re sa tshwanelang go di ja).

7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

Mme ke ne ka utlwa lentswe le re, ‘Bolaya mme o je tse o di ratang.’

8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

Mme ke ne ka fetola ka re, ‘Nnyaa, Morena, gonne ga ke ise ke ko ke je sepe se se idiwang ka melao ya rona ya Sejuta!’

9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, do not you call unclean.’

“Mme lentswe la tla gape la re, ‘Se re ga go a siama go jewa fa Modimo One o re go siame.’

10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

“Mo go ne ga diragala gararo pele ga letsela le tsotlhe tse di neng di le mo go lone di nyelelela kwa legodimong.

11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

Mme banna ba bararo ba ba neng ba tsile go ntsaya go ya Kaesarea ba goroga kwa tlung e ke neng ke nna mo go yone!

12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

Mme Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne wa nthaya wa re ke tsamaye le bone le gone ke seka ka tshwenyega ka Bodichaba jwa bone! Bakaulengwe ba barataro ba, ba tsamaya le nna, mme ka bofefo ra goroga kwa mo-tseng wa monna yo o neng a romile barongwa.

13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

Mme a re bolelela ka fa moengele a neng a tla kwa go ene ka teng a mmolelela gore a rome barongwa kwa Jopa go batla Simone Petere.

14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

Moengele a mmolelela gore, ‘monna yoo o tlaa go bolelela ka fa wena le ba ntlo ya gago lo ka bolokwang ka teng.’

15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

Mme ka simolola go ba bolelela Mafoko a a Molemo, mme e rile fela jaaka ke simolola thero ya me, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa fologela mo go bone, fela jaaka o ne wa fologela mo go rona pele!

16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

“Mme ke ne ka gopola mafoko a Morena fa a ne a re, ‘Ee, Johane o ne a kolobetsa ka metsi, mme lona lo tlaa kolobediwa ka Mowa O O Boitshepo.’

17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

Mme ka e ne e le Modimo ka boone o o neileng Badichaba ba mpho e e tshwanang le ya rona fa re dumela mo go Morena Jesu Keresete, ke ne ke le mang yo ke ka ganetsang?”

18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

Mme erile fa ba bangwe ba utlwa kaga se, dikganetso tsa bone tsotlhe di ne tsa arabiwa mme ba simolola go galaletsa Modimo; ba ne ba re, “Ee, Modimo o neetse le Badichaba tshwanelo ya gore ba sokologele kwa go one le gore ba bone botshelo jo bo sa khutleng!”

19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

Mme badumedi ba ba neng ba siile mo Jerusalema ka nako ya pogiso morago ga loso lwa ga Setefane ba tsamaya ba bo ba ya go fitlha kwa Fenikia, le kwa Kupero le kwa Antioka, ba gasa Mafoko a a Molemo mo Bajuteng fela.

20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Le fa go ntse jalo, bangwe ba badumedi ba ba neng ba ya kwa Antioka ba tswa mo Kupero le mo Kurene le bone ba ile ba rerela Bagerika molaetsa wa bone kaga Morena Jesu.

21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

Mme Morena o ne a rotloetsa maiteko a gore Badichaba ba le bantsi ba nne badumedi.

22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

Mme erile phuthego e e kwa Jerusalema e utlwa se se diragetseng, ba romela Barenabase kwa Antioka go thusa ba e leng gone ba sokologang.

23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

Erile fa a goroga ebile a bona dikgakgamatso tse Modimo o neng o di dira, a tlala kgakgamalo le boitumelo, mme a kgothatsa badumedi gore le fa go ka nna jang, ba nne mo Moreneng.

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

Barenabase e ne e le motho yo o bonolo a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo a bile a nonofile mo tumelong. Mme ka ntlha ya gone mo, batho ba le bantsi ba ne ba oketsega mo Moreneng.

25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

Mme Barenabase o ne a ya kwa Tareso go batla Saulo.

26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Erile a mmona a mmusetsa kwa Antioka; ka bobedi jwa bone ba nna koo ngwaga yotlhe, ba ruta badumedi ba basha. (Ke kwa Antioka kwa badumedi ba neng ba simolola go bidiwa “Bakeresete” teng.)

27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Ka nako e baporofiti bangwe ba ne ba tswa Jerusalema ba ya Antioka,

28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

mme mongwe wa bone yo o bidiwang Agabuse, o ne a ema ka tlhotlheletso ya Mowa mo go nngwe ya dikopano a bolelela pele gore leuba le legolo le tlaa tla mo lefatsheng la Iseraele. (Mo go ne ga diragala ka nako ya puso ya ga Kalaudio).

29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

Mme jalo badumedi ba ikaelela go romela thuso kwa Bakereseteng mo Judea, mongwe le mongwe a ntsha kafa a ka kgonang ka teng.

30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Mme ba ile ba dira, ba isa dimpho tsa bone kwa go Barenabase le Saulo gore ba di ise kwa bagolwaneng ba phuthego kwa Jerusalema.
