Acts 5
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
Mme ga bo go le monna a bidiwa Ananiase (le mosadi wa gagwe Safira) ba ba neng ba a rekisa bontlha-bongwe jwa setsha,
2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
mme ba tlisa bontlhabongwe fela jwa madi, ba kaya fa e le tlhwatlhwa e e feletseng (mosadi wa gagwe o ne a dumalana tsietso e).
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
Mme Petere a re, “Ananiase, Satane o tladitse pelo ya gago ka maaka fa o bolela gore tlhwatlhwa e ke yone yotlhe, o ne o aketsa Mowa O O Boitshepo.
4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
Setsha e ne e le sa gago go se rekisa kgotsa nnyaa, go ya fela ka fa o neng o rata ka teng. Mme morago ga o sena go se rekisa, e ne e le ga gago go bona gore o ntsha bokae. Ke eng fa o ne o dira jaana? Ga oa aketsa rona o akeditse Modimo.”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
Erile fela fa Ananiase a utlwa mafoko a, a wela fa fatshe a swa! Mongwe le mongwe a tlewa ke poifo e kgolo,
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
mme makau a mo phutha ka letsela a mo tsaya a ya go mo fitlha.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Erile morago ga dioura di le tharo mosadi wa gagwe a tla, a sa itse se se diragetseng.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
Petere a mmotsa are, “A lo rekisitse setsha sa lona ka bokana?” A araba are “Ee, re se rekisitse ka bokalo.”
9 “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
Mme Petere a re, “Ke eng fa wena le monna wa gago lo ka akanya go dira selo se se ntseng jaana, lo leka maano a bosula go leka nonofo ya Mowa wa Modimo go itse se se diragalang? Ka kwa ntle ga kgoro ele go na le makawana a a tswang go boloka monna wa gago, mme le wena ba tlaa tla go go rwala ba ya go go boloka.”
10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Erile gone fela foo a wela fa fatshe, a swa, mme makawana a tsena mo teng, ya re ba mmona gore o sule, ba mo tsaya ba ya go mmoloka go bapa le monna wa gagwe.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Mme poifo e kgolo ya tlela phuthego yotlhe le ba bangwe botlhe ba ba utlwileng se se diragetseng.
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Ka sebaka seo, Baaposetoloi ba ne ba kopane mo lefelong le le bidiwang mathudi a ga Solomone, mme ba dira ditshupo tse di bonalang le dikgakgamatso mo matlhong a batho.
13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
Badumedi ba bangwe ba seka ba kgatlhega go kopana le bone, le fa go ntse jalo, ba ne ba ba tlotla thata.
14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
Mme badumedi ba oketsega thata mo Moreneng, bontsi jwa banna le basadi.
15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
Balwetse ba ntshediwa kwa mebileng ba le mo malaong le mo diphateng gore bogolo moriti wa ga Petere o wele bangwe ba bone fa a feta!
16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
Mme bontsi jwa batho jwa tla bo tswa mo tikologong ya Jerusalema, ba tlisa balwetse ba bone le ba ba tsenyweng ke mewa e e maswe; mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a fola.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
Mme Moperesiti yo mogolo le botlhe ba losika le ditsala tsa gagwe mo Basadukaing ba tlala lefufa,
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
mme ba tshwara baaposetoloi, ba ba tsenya mo kgolegelong.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
Mme moengele wa Morena a tla bosigo, a bula dikgoro tsa kgolegelo a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle. Mme a ba raya a re,
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
“Tsamayang lo ye mo Tempeleng lo rere kaga Botshelo jo!”
21 At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
Mme ba goroga mo Tempeleng e ka ne e le ka nako ya letsatsi le tlhaba mme ka bonako ba simolola go rera! Moragonyana mo mosong oo, Moperesiti yo Mogolo le botlhe ba lekgotla ba tsena mo Tempeleng, ba bitsa Lekgotla le legolo la bagolwane ba Puso, ba romela batho go ya go bitsa baaposetoloi go tla go sekisiwa.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
Mme erile fa mapodisi a tsena kwa kgolegelong, banna ba bo ba seyo, jalo ba boela kwa Lekgotleng ba bega gore
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
“Dikgoro tsa kgolegelo di ne di tswetswe, mme batlhokomedi ba ne ba eme ka kwa ntle, mme erile fa re bula dikgoro, ga bo go sena ope!”
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
Mme erile fa molaodi wa mapodisi le baperesiti ba bagolwane ba utlwa se, ba akabala, ba hakgametse thata gore go tlaa diragalang le gore mo gotlhe go tlaa felela kae!
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Mme mongwe a goroga ka mafoko a a reng banna ba ba neng ba le mo kgolegelong ba mo Tempeleng ba rerela batho!
26 At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
Mme Mogolwane wa mapodisi a tsamaya le mapodisi ba ba tshwara kwa ntle ga mokubukubu, (gonne ba ne ba tshaba batho gore ba tlaa ba bolaya fa ba ka gakalela barutwa) mme ba ba lere fa pele ga Lekgotla.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
Moperesiti yo Mogolo a bua a re, “A ga re a lo bolelela gore lo seka lwa tlhola lo ruta kaga Jesu yo? Mme mo boemong jwa go khutlisa go rera kaga Jesu lo tladitse Jerusalema ka thuto ya lona mme lo ikaelela go re baya molato ka loso lwa monna yo!”
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
Mme Petere le baaposetoloi ba araba ba re, “Re tshwanetse go obamela Modimo go na le batho.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
Modimo wa borra-a-rona mogolwagolwane o tsositse Jesu go tla mo botshelong gape morago ga lo sena go mmolaya ka go mo pega mo mokgorong.
31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
Mme ka nonofo e kgolo, Modimo wa mo tsholetsa go nna Kgosana le Mmoloki, gore batho ba Iseraele ba tle ba nne le lobaka lwa boikwatlhao le gore dibe tsa bone di itshwarelwe.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Mme re basupi ba dilo tse, ga mmogo le Mowa O O Boitshepo, o o neetsweng botlhe ba ba obamelang Modimo.”
33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
“Ya re ka ntlha ya go bua jalo, Lekgotla la gakala la ikaelela go ba bolaya.”
34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.
Mme mongwe wa bone, Mofarasai yo o bidiwang Gamaliele, (moitseanape wa molao wa tumelo a bile a itsege thata mo bathong) a ema a kopa gore baaposetoloi ba ntshediwe kwa ntle fa a sa ntse a bua.
35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
Mme a raya banna ba Lekgotla a re,
36 Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
“Motlha mongwe go kile ga bo go le Theudase, yo o neng a ipaya jaaka e ka re ke mongwe yo o kwa godimo. Bangwe ba ka nna makgolo a mane ba ikopanya nae, mme a bolawa, mme botlhe ba ba ineetseng mo go ene ba phatlaladiwa kwa ntle ga kutlwelobotlhoko epe.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
“Morago ga gagwe, ka nako ya fa go kgethisiwa, ga bo go le Judase wa Galalea. A itatedisa batho bangwe go nna barutwa, mme le ene a swa, mme balatedi ba gagwe ba phatlalala.
38 So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.
“Mme jaanong kgakololo ya me ke e, tlogelang banna ba, mme fa se ba se rutang le se ba se dirang e le ga bone fela, ka bofefo se tlaa fedisiwa.
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
Mme fa e le ga Modimo lo tlaa retelelwa ke go ba emisa, e sere kgotsa lona ka bo lona lwa iphitlhela lo tlhabantsha Modimo.”
40 At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Lekgotla la dumalana le kgakololo ya gagwe, ba bitsa baaposetoloi, ba ba itaya, ba ba bolelela gore ba seka ba tlhola ba bua ka leina la ga Jesu, mme morago ba ba lesa ba tsamaya.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Ba tloga fa lekgotleng ba itumeletse gore Modimo o ba supile ba nonofile go tlontlologela leina la one.
42 Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
Mme ka malatsi otlhe mo Tempeleng le mo motsing, ba tswelela go ruta le go rera gore Jesu ke Mesia.
