Acts 18

1 After these thinges, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinthus,

Morago ga mo Paulo a tswa mo Athena a ya kwa Korintha.

2 And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italie, and his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and he came vnto them.

Mme koo a feta a tlwaelana le Mojuta yo o bidiwang Akwila, yo o tsaletsweng kwa Ponto, yo o neng a sa tswa go goroga a tswa kwa Itale le mosadi wa gagwe Peresila. Ba ne ba kobilwe mo Itale ka ntlha ya taolo ya ga Kalaodio Kaesarea ya gore Bajuta botlhe ba lelekwe mo Roma, Paulo o ne a nna nabo a ba a dira le bone, gonne e ne e le badiri ba megope (ditante) fela jaaka ene.

3 And because hee was of the same crafte, he abode with them and wrought (for their crafte was to make tentes.)

4 And he disputed in the Synagogue euery Sabbath day, and exhorted the Iewes, and the Grecians.

Sabata mongwe le mongwe Paulo o ne a fetolana le batho mo tlung ya thuto, a leka go tlhalosetsa Bajuta le Bagerika.

5 Now when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul, forced in spirit, testified to the Iewes that Iesus was the Christ.

Mme erile Silase le Timotheo ba sena go goroga ba tswa kwa Masedonia, Paulo a dirisa nako ya gagwe yotlhe a rera ebile a bolelela Bajuta gore Jesu ke Mesia.

6 And when they resisted and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and saide vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne head: I am cleane: from henceforth will I goe vnto the Gentiles.

Mme erile fa Bajuta ba mo ganetsa ba kgala se a se buang, ba tlhapatsa Jesu, Paulo a tlhotlhora lorole mo seaparong sa gagwe a re, “A madi a lona a nne mo ditlhogong tsa lona, nna ga ke na molato, go tloga gompieno ke tlaa rerela Badichaba.”

7 So he departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, a worshipper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue.

Morago ga moo o ne a nna le Tito Jeseto, Modichaba yo o neng a obamela Modimo a nna gaufi le ntlo ya thuto.

8 And Crispus the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued in the Lord with all his housholde: and many of the Corinthians hearing it, beleeued and were baptized.

Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Kerisepo, moeteledipele wa senagoge, le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe ba ne ba dumela mo Moreneng mme ba kolobediwa le Bakorintha ba le bantsi ba ba mo utlwileng ba dumela ba bo ba kolobediwa.

9 Then saide the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Feare not, but speake, and holde not thy peace.

Bosigo bongwe Morena o ne a bua le Paulo ka ponatshegelo a re, “O seka wa boifa! Bua! Se didimale!

10 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay handes on thee to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this citie.

Gonne ke na le wena mme ga go na ope yo o ka go utlwisang botlhoko. Batho ba le bantsi mo motseng o ke ba me.”

11 So he continued there a yeere and six moneths, and taught ye worde of God among them.

Mme Paulo a nna moo ngwaga e e lateleng le sephatlo, a ruta boammaaruri jwa Modimo.

12 Now when Gallio was Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes arose with one accorde against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seate,

Mme erile Galeo a nna molaodi wa Akaia, Bajuta ba tsogologela Paulo mme ba mo isa fa pele ga molaodi gore a sekisiwe.

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth me to worship God otherwise then the Lawe appointeth.

Ba ne ba re, “Paulo o molato wa go raya batho a re ba obamele Modimo ka mekgwa e e leng gore e kgatlhanong le molao wa Ba-Roma.”

14 And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio saide vnto the Iewes, If it were a matter of wrong, or an euill deede, O ye Iewes, I would according to reason maintaine you.

Mme erile fela jaaka Paulo a simolola go ikarabela, Galeo a retologela kwa go ba ba pegang Paulo molato a re, “Reetsang, lona Bajuta ke lona, fa mo e ka bo e ne e le molato wa borukhutlhi, ke ne ke tlaa tlamega go lo reetsa,

15 But if it bee a question of woordes, and names, and of your Lawe, looke yee to it your selues: for I will be no iudge of those things.

mme e re ka e le dipotso fela tse di mabapi le mafoko a lo a ipopetseng, le melao ya lona ya Sejuta ya boeleele, lo tlaa nna lo ipona. Ga ke na kgatlhego mo kgannyeng eo ebile ga ke e ame.”

16 And hee draue them from the iudgement seate.

Hong a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle ga ntlo ya tshekelo.

17 Then tooke al the Grecians Sosthenes the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, and beat him before the iudgement seat: but Gallio cared nothing for those things.

Mme batho ba tshwara Sosethenese, moeteledipele yo mosha wa tempele, mme ba mo iteela kwa ntle ga ntlo ya tshekelo! Mme Galeo ene o ne a sena sepe.

18 But when Paul had taried there yet a good while, hee tooke leaue of the brethren, and sailed into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila) after that he had shorne his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vowe.

Mme Paulo o ne a nna mo motseng malatsi a le mantsinyana morago ga moo a sadisa Bakeresete sentle, a bo a tshwara mokoro a leba kwa Siria a tsamaya le Peresila le Akwila. Mme kwa Kenkerea Paulo o ne a ipeola ka ngwao ya Sejuta, ka gonne o ne a ikanne.

19 Then hee came to Ephesus, and left them there: but hee entred into the Synagogue and disputed with the Iewes.

Erile fa a goroga kwa boemelong jwa mekoro jwa Efeso, a ba tlogela mo mokorong a ya kwa tempeleng go buisanya le Bajuta.

20 Who desired him to tarie a longer time with them: but he would not consent,

Mme ba ne ba mo kopa go nna malatsi a se kae, mme a bona a sena nako epe e o ka e senyang nabo.

21 But bade the farewel, saying, I must needes keepe this feast that commeth, in Hierusalem: but I will returne againe vnto you, if God will. So he sailed from Ephesus.

Mme a re, “Ke tshwanetse ka bo ke le kwa Jerusalema ka malatsi a boikhutso.” Mme o ne a solofetsa go boela kwa Efeso fa Modimo o mo letla; mme jalo a tswelela le loeto gape.

22 And when hee came downe to Cesarea, he went vp to Hierusalem: and when he had saluted the Church, he went downe vnto Antiochia.

Lefelo le le latelang le go neng ga engwa mo go lone e ne e le Kaesarea kwa o neng a etela phuthego [ya Jerusalema] go tswa foo a ya kwa Antioka.

23 Nowe when he had taried there a while, he departed, and went thorowe the countrey of Galatia and Phrygia by order, strengthening all the disciples.

Morago ga sebaka koo, a tsamaya mo Galatia le mo Feregia a etela badumedi botlhe, a ba kgothatsa ebile a ba thusa go re ba gole mo Moreneng.

24 And a certaine Iewe named Apollos, borne at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and mightie in the Scriptures.

Mme ka nako eo Mojuta mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Apolose, moruti le moreri wa Baebele yo o tumileng, e ne e le gone fela a gorogang mo Efeso a tswa kwa Alekesanderia mo Egepeto.

25 The same was instructed in the way of the Lord, and hee spake feruently in the Spirite, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptisme of Iohn onely.

Erile fa a sa ntse a le mo Egepeto, mongwe o ne a mmoleletse ka ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi le se Johane o se buileng ka ga Jesu, mme moo e ne e le gone fela mo a go itseng. O ne a ise a ke a utlwe polelo yotlhe!

26 And he began to speake boldely in the Synagogue. Whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they tooke him vnto them, and expounded vnto him the way of God more perfectly.

Jalo o ne a rera ka bopelokgale le ka botlhaga mo tlung ya thuto a re, “Mesia o e tla! Ipaakanyetseng go mo amogela!” Peresila le Akwila ba ne ba le teng mme ba mo utlwa, mme e ne e le thero e e nonofileng. Morago ga moo ba kopana nae mme ba mo tlhalosetsa se se diragaletseng Jesu go tloga ka nako ya ga Johane, le gore mo gotlhe go raya eng!

27 And when hee was minded to goe into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receiue him: and after hee was come thither, he holpe them much which had beleeued through grace.

Mme Apolose o ne a kile a akanya go ya Gerika, badumedi le bone ba mo kgothatsa go dira jalo. Ba ne ba kwalela bakaulengwe ba bone koo, ba ba raya ba re ba mo amogele. Mme erile fa a goroga kwa Gerika, a dirisiwa ke Modimo go nonotsha Phuthego,

28 For mightily hee confuted publikely the Iewes, with great vehemencie, shewing by the Scriptures, that Iesus was that Christ.

gonne o ne a ganetsa Bajuta mo pepeneneng a supa ka dikwalo gore Jesu ka boammaaruri ke Mesia.
