Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
Mme ka bofefo ra lemoga fa re gorogile mo setlhakeng sa Malita. Batho ba setlhake ba ne ba re siametse thata, ba ne ba gotsa molelo o motona fa lotshitshing go re amogela le go re thuthafatsa mo puleng le mo botsididing.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
Mme erile fa Paulo a kokoanya ngata ya dikgong go di tsenya mo molelong, noga e e botlhole ya ntshiwa mo molelong ke mogote, ya ithatha ka letsogo la gagwe!
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
Mme batho ba setlhake ba ne ba e bona e lepeletse mme ba raana ba re, “Ke mmolai ga gona pelaelo! Le ntswa a falotse mo lewatleng, tshiamiso ga e ka ke ya mo letla gore a tshele!”
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
Mme Paulo a tlhotlhorela noga mo molelong e sa mo loma.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Mme batho ba solofela gore ba tlaa bona a ruruga kgotsa a wa fela ka tshoganetso a a swa; mme erile ba sena go nna ba lebeletse ka lobaka lo loleele mme go sena kgobalo epe mo go ene, ba fetola megopolo ya bone mme ba re ke modimo.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
Fa lotshitshing fa re neng ra nna teng go ne go na le tshimo ya ga Pubelio, molaodi wa setlhake. O ne a re amogela sentle a bo a re fa dijo ka malatsi a le mararo.
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Mme erile ka yone nako eo, rraagwe Pubelio a bo a lwala bolwetse jwa letshoroma le motabogo o mohibidu. Paulo a tsena a mo rapelela, mme a mmaya diatla a mo fodisa!
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
Mme balwetse ba bangwe botlhe mo setlhakeng ba tla mme ba fodisiwa.
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Mme ka ntlha ya moo ra tshologelwa ke dimpho di le dintsi, mme erile fa go tla nako ya gore re tsamaye, batho ba olela mefuta yotlhe ya dilo tse re tlaa di tlhokang mo loetong.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
E ne e le kgwedi tse tharo sekepe se sena go senyega pele ga re simolola go tsamaya, mme ka nako e, re ne ra tsamaya ka sekepe se se bidiwang Mafatlha a Basimane sa Alekesanderia, sekepe se se neng se feditse mariga mo setlhakeng.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Re ne ra ema la ntlha kwa Sirakuse, kwa re neng ra nna teng malatsi a mararo.
13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Mme go tswa foo ra dikologa ra ya kwa Regiama; letsatsi le le latelang phefo ya borwa ya simolola go foka, mme letsatsi le le latelang ra goroga kwa Puteoli,
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
kwa re neng ra bona badumedi bangwe teng! Ba ne ba re kopa gore re nne nabo malatsi a supa. Go tsweng foo ra tswelela ra ya Roma.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
Bakaulengwe ba Roma ba ne ba utlwile gore re e tla mme ba tla go re kopantsha kwa patlelong mo Tseleng ya Apio. Bangwe ba kopana le rona kwa matlung a mararo a boitapoloso. Erile Paulo a ba bona, a leboga Modimo mme a nametsega.
16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Mme erile fa re goroga kwa Roma, Paulo o ne a letlelelwa gore a nne fa a ratang teng, le fa a ne a disitswe ke lesole.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Mme erile malatsi a mararo a sena go feta, a bitsa bagolwane ba Bajuta botlhe ba motse mme a ba raya a re: “Bakaulengwe ke ne ke tshwerwe ke Bajuta kwa Jerusalema mme ka isiwa kwa mmusong wa Roma gore ke sekisiwe, ntswa ke ne ke sa utlwisa ope botlhoko kgotsa go tsuolola ngwao ya borraetsho mogologolwane.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Mme Ba-Roma ba ne ba ntshekisa ba bo ba rata go nkgolola, gonne ba ne ba sa bone molato ope o o tshwanetseng loso jaaka bagolwane ba Bajuta ba ne ba batla.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Mme erile fa Bajuta ba gana katlholo eo, ka bona go tlhokega, gore ke ikuele mo go Kaisara, ke sa ba eleletse bosula bope.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Ke lo kopile go tla fano gompieno gore re itsanye le gore ke lo bolelele gore ke golegilwe ka dikeetane ka ntlha ya gore ke dumela gore Mesia o tsile.”
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
Mme ba fetola ba re, “Ga re ise re ke re utlwe sepe se o sekisiwang ka ga sone! Ga re ise re ke re amogele dikwalo dipe tse di tswang kwa Judea kgotsa dipego tse di tlang le ba ba tswang kwa Jerusalema.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
Mme re batla go utlwa se o se dumelang, gonne se re se itseng fela kaga Bakeresete ba ke gore ba nyadiwa gongwe le gongwe!”
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
Mme ga tlhongwa nako, mme ka letsatsi leo ga tla batho ba le bantsi mo tlung ya gagwe. A ba bolelela kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo a bo a ba ruta kaga Jesu mo Dikwalong, go tswa mo dikwalong tsa ga Moshe tse tlhano le dikwalo tsa baporofiti. A simolola a ruta mo mosong go fitlhelela maitseboa!
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Mme bangwe ba ne ba dumela, ba bangwe ba gana go dumela.
25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Mme erile ba sena go ganetsanya ka bosi ba tsamaya ba tlhabilwe ke lefoko la bofelo la ga Paulo le le reng, “Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne o bua boammaaruri fa o bua ka Moporofiti Isaia o re,
26 saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
‘Raya Bajuta o re, “Lo tlaa utlwa lo bo lo bona mme ga lo na go tlhaloganya,”
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
gonne dipelo tsa lona di thata le ditsebe tsa lona ga di reetse mme lo tswetse matlho a lona gore lo seka lwa bona lwa tlhaloganya, le go sokologela kwa go nna gore ke lo fodise.’
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
Mme jalo ke batla gore lo lemoge gore poloko e, e e tswang kwa Modimong le Badichaba ke ya bone, ebile bone ba tla e amogela.”
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
Mme Paulo o ne a nna dingwaga tse pedi mo tlung e o neng a e hirile, mme a amogela botlhe ba ba neng ba mo etela,
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
a ba bolelela ka bopelokgale jotlhe kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo le kaga Morena Jesu Keresete; mme ga seka ga nna le ope yo o lekang go mo didimatsa.
