Acts 13

1 There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.

Mo baporofiting le mo baruting ba phuthego kwa Antioka go ne go le Barenabase le Simeone (yo gape o neng a bidiwa “Monna Montsho”), le Lukio (wa Kurene), le Manaene (yo o otletsweng gongwe le Kgosi Herode), le Saulo.

2 Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.

Letsatsi lengwe banna ba, ba ntse ba rapela ba bile ba itimile dijo, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa re, “Ntomololelang Barenabase le Saulo go dira tiro e e tlhophegileng e ke e ba bileditseng.”

3 Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.

Mme morago ga go itima dijo le go rapela, ba ba baya diatla, mme ba ba naya tsela.

4 And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.

Mme ya re ka go gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo ba ya kwa Seleukia ba bo ba ya kwa Kupero.

5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.

Mme mo motseng wa Salamise, ba ne ba ya kwa tlung ya thuto ya Sejuta ba rera. (Johane Mareko o ne a tsamaya le bone e le mothusi wa bone).

6 So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,

Morago ba rera mo motseng mongwe le mongwe go kgabaganya setlhaketlhake sotlhe go fitlhelela ba tsena mo Pafosa kwa ba neng ba kopana teng le moloi wa Mojuta, moporofiti wa tsietso yo o neng a bidiwa Barajesu. O ne a ikgolagantse le molaodi Seregio Paulo, yo e neng e le motho yo o tlhaloganyang thata. Molaodi a laletsa Barenabase le Saulo go mo etela, gonne o ne a batla go utlwa molaetsa wa bone o o neng o tswa kwa Modimong.

7 Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.

8 But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.

Mme Elemase (leina la gagwe ka Segerika), wa moloi a leka go faposa le go tlhotlheletsa gore molaodi a seka a reetsa se Saulo le Barenabase ba neng ba se bua, a leka go mo dira gore a seka a ikanya Morena.

9 Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

Mme Saulo ka a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo, a leba moloi ka bogale mme a re,

10 And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?

“Morwa diabolo ke wena, o tletse mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa go tsietsa le bolotsana, mmaba wa sengwe le sengwe se se siameng, a ga o kitla o khutlisa go ganetsa Morena?

11 Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.

Mme Modimo gompieno o beile seatla sa one sa kwatlhao mo go wena, mme o tlaa foufala ka lobakanyana.” Ka bonako ga nna mouwane le lefifi mo go ene, mme a simolola go tsamaya a kopa mongwe gore a mo tshware ka letsogo a mo goge.

12 Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.

Mme erile molaodi a bona se se diragetseng a dumela mme a hakgamalela nonofo ya molaetsa wa Modimo.

13 Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.

Mme Paulo le ba o neng a na nabo ba tloga mo Pafosa ka sekepe ba ya Perega, wa Pamfilia. Mme Johane a ba ngwegela a boela Jerusalema.

14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.

Mme Barenabase le Paulo ba ne ba ya Antioka, motse o o neng o le mo kgaolong ya Pisidia. Ka letsatsi la Sabata ba ne ba tsena mo tlung ya thuto go tshwara tirelo-Modimo.

15 And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Mme morago ga go balwa mo go tlwaelesegileng ga Dikwalo tsa ga Moshe le tsa Baporofiti, bagolwane ba ntlo ya thuto ba ba romelela molaetsa o: “Bakaulengwe, fa lo na le lefoko la tao mo go rona, tlang lo le bue!”

16 Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.

Mme Paulo a ema, a dumedisa mme a simolola a re, “Bana ba Iseraele, le botlhe ba ba fano ba ba tlotlang Modimo, [mmang ke simolole se ke se buang ka go lo bolelela ditso di se kae].

17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.

“Modimo wa chaba e, ya Iseraele o tlhophile bo rraa-ronamogolwagolwane mme wa ba tlotla mo Egepeto ka go ba ntsha ka kgalalelo mo botlhankeng jwa bone.

18 And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.

“Mme wa ba tlhokomela mo go tsamayeng ga bone mo sekakeng ka dingwaga di le masome mane.

19 And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.

Mme wa senya dichaba di supa mo Kanana, mme wa neela Iseraele lefatshe la bone e le boswa. Baatlhodi ba busitse ka lobaka lo e neng e ka nna dingwaga di le makgolo a mane le masome a matlhano, mme ba ne ba salwa morago ke Samuele wa moporofiti.

20 Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.

21 So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.

“Mme batho ba kopa gore ba nne le kgosi, mme Modimo wa ba neela Saulo (morwa Kishe), monna wa lotso lwa ga Benjamine, yo o neng a busa ka dingwaga di le masome a mane.

22 And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.

“Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Modimo wa mo tlosa wa tlhoma Dafide go nna kgosi mo maemong a gagwe, monna yo Modimo o neng wa re ka ga gagwe, ‘Dafide (morwa Jese) monna yo pelo yame e mo itumelelang thata, yo o tlaa dirang go rata ga me gotlhe.’

23 Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:

Go tswa mo losikeng lwa monna yo, Modimo o ne wa tlisetsa Iseraele Mmoloki, ebong Jesu, fela jaaka o solofeditse.

24 When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.

Mme pele ga a goroga, Johane wa Mokolobetsi o ne a rera botlhokwa jwa gore mongwe le mongwe mo Iseraele a sokologe mo dibeng le go boela mo Modimong.

25 And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.

Mme erile fa Johane a fetsa tiro ya gagwe a botsa a re, ‘A lo akanya gore ke Mesia? Nnyaa! Ene o e tla ka bonako, mme mo go ene ga ke sepe!’

26 Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.

“Bakaulengwe, lona bomorwa Aberahame, le lona lotlhe Badichaba ba lo tlotlang Modimo, poloko e ke ya rona rotlhe!

27 For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

Bajuta mo Jerusalema le baeteledipele ba bone ba diragaditse seporofeso ka go bolaya Jesu, gonne ba ne ba sa mo lemoge, kgotsa ba sa itse gore ke ene yo baporofiti ba neng ba kwadile ka ga gagwe, le fa ba ne ba utlwa mafoko a baporofiti a balwa Sabata mongwe le mongwe.

28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.

Mme ba ne ba tlhoka mabaka a a utlwalang go mmolaya, mme ba kopa Pilatwe gore a ba letle gore ba bolaye Jesu.

29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.

Mme erile ba sena go diragatsa seporofeso sotlhe ka ga loso lwa gagwe, o ne a pagololwa mo sefapanong mme a tsenngwa mo lebitleng.

30 But God raised him vp from the dead.

“Mme Modimo wa mo tsosa gape! mo losong.

31 And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.

Mme o ne a bonwa gantsi mo malatsing a makhutshwane a a latelang ke banna ba ba neng ba na nae go tswa Galalea go ya Jerusalema, banna ba ba neng ba sa bolo go nna ba bolela ka gale mo phatlalatseng.

32 And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,

“Mme jaanong Barenabase le nna re fano go lo tlisetsa Mafoko a a Molemo a, gore tsholofetso ya Modimo mo go borraetsho-mogolo e diragaditswe mo dinakong tsa rona, ka go tsosa Jesu mo losong gape. Se ke sone se Pesalema ya bobedi e buang kaga sone fa e bua kaga Jesu e re, ‘Gompieno ke go tlotlile jaaka Morwaake.’

33 God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.

34 Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.

“Gonne Modimo o ne o solofeditse go mo rudisa gape, a se kitla a tlhola a a swa gape. Mo go kwadilwe mo lokwalong lo lo reng, ‘Ke tlaa lo direla dilo tse di hakgamatsang tse ke di solofeditseng Dafide.’

35 Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

“Mo Pesalemeng e nngwe o tlhalositse thata a re, ‘Modimo ga o kitla o letla gore yo o Boitshepo wa one a bole.’

36 Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.

Mo go ne go sa reye Dafide, gonne erile Dafide a sena go direla dikokomana tsa gagwe ka fa go rateng ga Modimo, o ne a swa mme a fitlhwa, mme mmele wa gagwe wa bola.

37 But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.

[Nnyaa, go ne go raya yo mongwe], mongwe yo Modimo o mo rudisitseng, yo mmele wa gagwe o iseng o ke o tshwarwe ke tshenyego ya loso.

38 Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

“Bakaulengwe! Reetsang! Mo monneng yo ebong Jesu, go na le boitshwarelo jwa dibe tsa lona!

39 And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.

Mme mongwe le mongwe yo o mo ikanyang o golotswe mo melatong yotlhe le gone o siame, sengwe se molao wa Sejuta o neng o sa kake wa se dira.

40 Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,

Mme jaanong itlhokomeleng! Se direng gore mafoko a baporofiti a reye lona. Gonne ba re,

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.

‘Lebang mme lo nyelele, lona banyatsi ba boammaaruri, gonne ke dira sengwe mo lobakeng lwa lona, sengwe se lo se ka keng lwa se dumela fa lo utlwa se bolelwa.’”

42 And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.

Mme erile batho ba tswa mo tlung ya thuto ka letsatsi leo, ba kopa Paulo go boa a ya go bua le bone beke e e latelang.

43 Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

Mme Bajuta ba le bantsi le Badichaba ba badumedi ba ba neng ba rapela kwa tlung ya thuto ba sala Paulo le Barenabase morago mo mmileng mme bone ba ba tlhotlheletsa go amogela kutlwelobotlhoko e Modimo o e ba nayang.

44 And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.

Beke e e latelang motse otlhe wa batla go tla go ba utlwa ba rera Lefoko la Modimo.

45 But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.

Mme erile fa Bajuta ba baeteledipele ba bona bontsintsi jwa batho ba tlala lefufa, mme ba hutsa ba bo ba ganetsa se Paulo o neng a se bua.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

Mme Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba bua ka bopelokgale ba re, “Go ne go tlhokega gore Mafoko a a Molemo a a tswang kwa Modimong a tshwanetse go neelwa lona Bajuta pele. Mme ka gobo lo a ganne, lwa ba lwa itshupa fa lo sa tshwanela botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, go siame re tlaa bo neela Badichaba. (aiōnios g166)

47 For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.

Gonne se ke se Morena o se laotseng fa a re, Ke lo dirile lesedi mo go badichaba, go ba goga mo khutlong tse di kgakala tsa lefatshe go ba tlisa mo polokong ya me.”

48 And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)

Mme erile Badichaba ba utlwa se, ba itumela thata mme ba ipelela molaetsa wa ga Paulo; ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba batla botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, ba dumela. (aiōnios g166)

49 Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.

Mme molaetsa wa Modimo wa gasama mo kgaolong eo yotlhe.

50 But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.

Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba feretlha badumedi ba basadi ba ba boifang Modimo ga mmogo le baeteledipele ba motse mme ba tlhotlheletsa boidiidi jwa batho go nna kgatlhanong le Paulo le Barenabase, mme ba ba kobela kwa ntle ga motse.

51 But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

Mme ba ne ba itlhotlhora lorole mo dinaong tsa bone go supa go nna kgatlhanong le motse o, mme ba ya kwa motseng wa Ikonio.

52 And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.

Mme ba ba ba sokolotseng ba tlala boitumelo le Mowa O O Boitshepo.
