Acts 11

1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde 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 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,

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

3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.

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

4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,

Mme Petere a ba bolelela polelo yotlhe.

5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came 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 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.

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

7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.

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

8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred 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 the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.

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

10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.

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

11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto 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 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans 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 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is 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 shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.

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

15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs 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 remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.

“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 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let 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 helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto 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 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.

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 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.

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 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.

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

22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.

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 was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in 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 Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto 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 departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:

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

26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.

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 dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.

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

28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.

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 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.

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 thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand 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.
