Acts 10
1 NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic,
Mme mo Kaesarea go ne go nna mo eteledipele wa mophato wa ntwa ya Seroma gotwe Korenelio, e le molaodi wa mophato wa Itale.
2 a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
E ne e le motho yo o ratang Modimo, a bile a o tlotla thata, le ba ntlo ya gagwe ba ne ba ntse jalo. O ne a aba ka mowa o o gololesegileng a bile a le motho wa thapelo.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
Tshokologo nngwe ya letsatsi ya re a santse a ntse, ka nako e ka nna ya boraro, a bona ponatshegelo, mme mo ponatshegelong e, a bona moengele wa Modimo a tla kwa go ene a re, “Korenelio”.
4 Then looking stedfastly on him, and being terrified, he said, What means this, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Korenelio a re, “O batlang Morena!” Moengele a fetola a re, “Dithapelo tsa gago le dimpho tsa gago Modimo o di bonye.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
Jaanong roma banna bangwe kwa Jopa go ya go batla mongwe yo o bidiwang Simone Petere, yo o nnang le Simone wa mosuga matlalo, go bapa le lotshitshi lwa lewatle, mme lo mo kope gore a lo etele.”
6 he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.
7 But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him;
Erile moengele a sena go tsamaya, Korenelio a bitsa batlhanka ba ntlo ya gagwe ba le babedi le motlhabani yo o boifang Modimo, mongwe wa ba ba ikanyegang,
8 and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa.
mme a ba bolelela se se diragetseng a bo a ba roma kwa Jopa.
9 Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour:
Erile letsatsi le le latelang, fa ba atamela motse, Petere a tlhatlogela kwa godimo ga ntlo ya gagwe go rapela. Go ne go le motshegare ebile o ne a tshwerwe ke tlala, mme erile dijo tsa motshegare di sa ntse di baakanngwa a bona ponatshegelo.
10 and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.
11 And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth:
O ne a bona legodimo le bulega, mme a bona letsela le legolo le lepeleditswe ka dinaka tsa lone tse nne, le fitlha fa fatshe.
12 in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air.
Mme mo letseleng go ne go le diphologolo tsa mefuta yotlhe, dinoga le dinonyane (tse di idiwang Bajuta go di ja).
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.
Mme lentswe la mo raya la re, “Tsamaya o bolaye o je nngwe ya tsone e o e batlang.”
14 But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean.
Petere a fetola a re, “Nnyaa, Morena, ga ke ise nke ke je diphologolo tse di ntseng jaana mo botshelong jwa me, gonne di a idiwa ka melao ya rona ya Sejuta.”
15 And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.
Lentswe la bua gape, la re, “Se ganetsanye le Modimo! Fa o re selo se tshwanetse go jewa go raya gore se siame.”
16 This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.
Mme ponatshegelo e ya direga gararo. Mme letsela la boela gape kwa legodimong.
17 But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door,
Petere o ne a akabala thata gore ponatshegelo e ka ne e raya eng? O ne a tshwanetse go dirang? Mme jaana banna ba ba romilweng ke Korenelio ba ne ba bone ntlo e, mme ba bo ba eme kwa ntle fa kgorong,
18 and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
ba botsa gore a ntlo e ke yone e Simone Petere o nnang mo go yone.
19 But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.
Mme erile Petere a sa ntse a hakgamaletse ponatshegelo, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa mo raya wa re, “Banna ba bararo ba tsile kwa go wena.
20 Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them.
Fologela kwa tlase o kopane le bone mme o tsamaye nabo. Sengwe le sengwe se siame, ke ba romile.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither?
Jalo Petere a fologa, mme a re, “Ke nna yo lo mmatlang. Jaanong ke eng se lo se batlang.”
22 Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee.
Mme jalo ba mmolelela kaga Korenelio molaodi wa Mo-Roma yo o siameng wa Modimo, yo o neng a itsege thata mo Bajuteng le jaaka moengele a ne a mo laetse go ya go bitsa Petere go tla go mmolelela se Modimo o batlang a se dira.
23 Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Mme Petere a ba amogela a bo a ba fa boroko sigong joo. Letsatsi le le tlang a tsamaya nabo, ba na le (badumedi) ba ba tswang Jopa.
24 And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.
Ba goroga mo Kaesarea letsatsi le le latelang, mme Korenelio o ne a ba letile a bile a biditse ba losika lwa gagwe le ditsala tsa gagwe tsa botlhokwa go nna le Petere.
25 And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage.
Erile fa Petere a tsena mo ga gagwe, Korenelio a wela fa fatshe fa pele ga gagwe a mo obamela.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.
Mme Petere a re, “Ema! Le nna ka nosi ke motho!”
27 And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together.
Mme a ema ba buisanya ka sebakanyana ba bo ba ya kwa ba bangwe ba neng ba phuthegetse teng.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.
Mme Petere a ba raya a re, “Lo a itse gore go kgatlhanong, le melao ya Sejuta gore ke tsene mo lolwapeng lwa Modichaba. Mme Modimo o mpontshitse mo ponatshegelong gore ke seka ka ba ka lebela ope kwa tlase.
29 Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?
Mme ka tla fela jaaka ke bidiwa. Jaanong mpolelelang se lo se batlang.”
30 Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel,
Mme Korenelio a fetola a re, “Malatsi a mane a a fetileng ke ne ke rapela jaaka gale ka nako e ya maitseboa, fa ka tshoganetso monna a ema fa pele ga me a apere seaparo se se galalelang!
31 and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God.
Mme a nthaya a re, ‘Korenelio, thapelo tsa gago di utlwetse le dimpho tsa gago di lemogilwe ke Modimo!
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee.
Jaanong roma banna bangwe kwa Jopa go itsise Simone Petere, yo o nnang mo motseng wa ga Simone, wa mosuga matlalo, fa lotshitshing lwa lewatle.’
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God.
Mme ke ne ka re o ye go bidiwa, mme o dirile sentle ka go tla ka bonako. Jaanong ke rona ba, re letile fa pele ga Morena, re batla go itse se o se go boleletseng go se re bolelela!”
34 Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons:
Mme Petere a fetola a re, “Ke bona sentle gore Bajuta ga se bone fela ba Modimo o ba ratang!
35 but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
Mo chabeng nngwe le nngwe o na le ba ba mo obamelang ba bile ba dira dilo tse di siameng mme mo go ene ba a amogelesega.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all, ) ye know:
Ke tlhomamisa gore lo utlwile kaga Mafoko a a Molemo a batho ba Iseraele, gore go na le kagiso mo Modimong ka Jesu, Mesia, yo e leng Morena wa (lobopo) lotlhe. Molaetsa o, o aname le Judea yotlhe, o simolotswe ke Johane wa Mokolobetsi mo Galalea.
37 even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Mme ga go belaesege go itse gore Jesu wa Nasaretha o ne a tlodiwa ke Modimo ka Mowa o o Boitshepo le ka nonofo, mme o ne a tsamaya a dira molemo a bile a fodisa botlhe ba ba neng ba na le mewa e e maswe, gonne Modimo o ne o na nae.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:
“Mme rona baaposetoloi re basupi ba tsotlhe tse o di dirileng mo Iseraele yotlhe le mo Jerusalema kwa o neng a bolaelwa teng mo sefapaanong.
40 him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested;
Mme Modimo o ne wa mo tshedisa gape morago ga malatsi a mararo, mme wa mmontsha basupi bangwe ba Modimo o neng o sale o ba tlhopha pele, e seng mongwe le mongwe, mme e leng rona ba re neng ree ja re ba ree nwa nae a sena go tsoga mo baswing.
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.
42 And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.
Mme o ne a re roma go ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo gongwe le gongwe le go supa gore Jesu o beilwe go nna Moatlhodi wa botlhe, baswi le batshedi.
43 To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.
Mme le baporofiti botlhe ba kwadile ka ga gagwe, ba re mongwe le mongwe yo o dumelang mo go ene o tlaa itshwarelwa dibe ka leina la gagwe.”
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse.
Mme erile Petere a sa ntse a bua dilo tse Mowa O O Boitshepo wa fologela mo go botlhe ba ba neng ba reeditse!
45 And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.
Mme Bajuta ba ba neng ba tsile le Petere ba ne ba hakgamala gore neo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo e ka newa le Badichaba!
46 For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,
Mme go ne go ka se ka ga nna le pelaelo, gonne ba ba utlwile ba bua ka diteme ba bile ba galaletsa Modimo. Petere o ne a botsa a re, “A mongwe o ka gana gore ke ba kolobetse, ka gore jaanong ba amogetse Mowa O O Boitshepo fela jaaka re ne ra o amogela?”
47 Can any one forbid the water for baptising these persons, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 So he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry there some days.
Mme o ne a dira jalo, a ba kolobetsa mo leineng la ga Jesu, Mesia. Morago Korenelio a mo kopa go nna le bone malatsinyana.
