Acts 11
1 The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had 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 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him
Mme erile Petere a boela kwa Jerusalema, badumedi ba Bajuta ba ganetsanya nae.
3 and said, “You visited 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 the whole sequence of events:
Mme Petere a ba bolelela polelo yotlhe.
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to 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 I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
Mo letseleng go ne go le mefuta yotlhe ya diphologolo, digagabi le dinonyane (tse re sa tshwanelang go di ja).
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
Mme ke ne ka utlwa lentswe le re, ‘Bolaya mme o je tse o di ratang.’
8 ‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered 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 the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
“Mme lentswe la tla gape la re, ‘Se re ga go a siama go jewa fa Modimo One o re go siame.’
10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up 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 Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
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 accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.
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 an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for 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 He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’
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 upon them, just as He had fallen upon 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 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with 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 So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of 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 this, their objections were put to rest, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto 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 Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.
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 some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about 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 of people believed and turned to the Lord.
Mme Morena o ne a rotloetsa maiteko a gore Badichaba ba le bantsi ba nne badumedi.
22 When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to 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 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.
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 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought 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 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
Mme Barenabase o ne a ya kwa Tareso go batla Saulo.
26 and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at 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 In those days some 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 predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under 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 So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living 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 This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with 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.
