Acts 4
1 AND as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
Mme ya re ba santse ba bua le batho, baperesiti ba bagolo le molaodi wa mapodisi a Tempele, le bangwe ba Basadukai ba tla kwa go bone,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
ba tshwenyegile thata ka ntlha ya gore Petere le Johane ba ne ba bolela gore Jesu o tsogile mo baswing.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
Ba ba tshwara, mme ka go ne go setse go le maitsiboa, ba ba tlhatlhela mo tlung ya kgolegelo bosigo jotlhe.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Mme bontsi jwa batho ba ba utlwileng molaetsa wa bone ba o dumela, mo e leng gore palo ya badumedi e ne ya tsholetsega ya batla go nna dikete tse tlhano!
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
Erile ka letsatsi le le latelang ga diragala gore Lekgotla la baeteledipele ba Sejuta le bo le phuthegetse mo Jerusalema.
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
Anase Moperesiti yo mogolo a bo a le teng, le Kaiafase, Johane, Alekesandere le ba bangwe ba losika lwa Moperesiti yo Mogolo.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
Jalo barutwa ba babedi ba leriwe kwa go bone. Mme lekgotla la ba botsa la re, “Lo dirile selo se ka nonofo ya ga mang kgotsa ka taolo ya ga mang?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Mme Petere, ka a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo a ba raya a re, “Baeteledipele ba ba tlotlegang le ditlhogo tsa sechaba sa rona,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
fa lo raya tiro e ntle e e diretsweng segole se, le ka fa o neng a fodisiwa ka teng,
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
a nke ke lo bolelele sentle lona le batho botlhe ba Iseraele gore tiro e e dirilwe ka leina le nonofo ya ga Jesu wa Nasaretha, Mesia, monna yo lo mmapotseng, mme Modimo o mo tsositse mo baswing. Ke ka nonofo ya gagwe fa monna yo a eme fano a fodile!
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Gonne Jesu Mesia (ene yo go buiwang ka ga gagwe mo dikwalong) ke ‘lentswe je le gannweng ke baagi le le neng la nna lentswe la kgokgotshwana.’
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Ga go na poloko mo go ope! Ka fa tlase ga legodimo lotlhe ga gona leina lepe le batho ba ka le bitsang gore ba bolokwe.”
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Erile Lekgotla le bona bopelokgale jwa ga Petere le Johane, gape le lemoga gore ga ba a rutega ke batho fela, ba hakgamala mme ba lemoga gore go nna le Jesu go ba diretse eng.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Mme Lekgotla le ne le se kake la latola go fodisiwa ga gagwe gonne motho yo o neng a fodisitswe o ne a eme gone foo gaufi nabo!
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Mme ba ba ntshetsa kwa ntle ga ntlwana e Lekgotla le kopanelang mo go yone ba sala ba gakololana.
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
Ba botsana ba re, “Re tlaa dirang ka banna ba? Ga re ka ke ra ganela gore ba dirile kgakgamatso e kgolo, gonne mongwe le mongwe mo Jerusalema o itse ka ga selo se.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
Mme gongwe re ka ba emisa mo go anamiseng tumelo ya bone. Re tlaa ba bolelela gore fa ba ka dira gape jalo re tlaa dira gore ba obamele molao wa rona ka kgang.”
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Mme ba ba biletsa mo teng, ba ba raya ba re ba seka ba tlhola ba bua sepe ka ga Jesu.
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
Mme Petere le Johane ba ba raya ba re, “Atlholang lona gore a Modimo o batla re reetsa lona mo boemong jwa one!
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Ga re ka ke ra khutlisa go bua ka dilo tse di ntle tse re bonyeng Jesu a di dira ebile re mo utlwile a di bua.”
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
Mme Lekgotla la ba bopela, lwa bofelo ba ba lesa ba tsamaya gonne ba ne ba sa itse gore ba ka ba otlhaya jang kwa ntle ga go tsosa mokubukubu. Gonne mongwe le mongwe o ne a galaletsa Modimo ka ntlha ya tiro e ntle e,
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
ebong phodiso ya monna yo o saleng a lwetse dingwaga di le masome mane!
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
Ka bofefo fela fa ba sena go gololwa, Petere le Johane ba bona barutwa ba bangwe mme ba ba bolelela se Lekgotla le se ba reileng.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
Mme badumedi botlhe ba kopanela thapelo e: “Oo Morena yo o dirileng legodimo le lefatshe le lewatle le tsotlhe tse di mo go tsone,
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
o buile bogologolo ka Mowa O O Boitshepo ka mogolwagolwane wa rona, motlhanka wa gago Kgosi Dafide, wa re ‘Ke ka ntlha yang fa baheitane ba tsogologela Morena, le merafe e e dieleele e dira maanonyana a a kgatlhanong le Modimo-Mothata-Yotlhe? Dikgosi tsa lefatshe di a kopana go tlhabantsha Morwa Modimo yo o tloditsweng!’
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
“Ke sone se se diragalang fano mo motseng o gompieno! Gonne Kgosi Herode, le Ponto Pilato mmusi, le ba-Roma botlhe le batho ba Iseraele, ba kopanetse Jesu, Morwa yo o tloditsweng, motlhanka wa gago yo o boitshepo.
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
Ga ba na go tlogela le fa e le sepe se wena mo nonofong ya gago o tlaa ba letlang go se dira.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
Mme jaanong Morena, utlwa go bopa ga bone, mme o neye batlhanka ba gago bopelokgale jo bogolo mo therong ya bone,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
o bo o romele nonofo ya gago ya phodiso, le dikgakgamatso di le dintsi le ditshupo di dirwe ka leina la motlhanka wa gago yo o itshepileng Jesu.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Morago ga thapelo e, kago e ba neng ba kopanetse mo go yone ya tshikinyega, mme botlhe ba tlala Mowa O O Boitshepo mme ba rera molaetsa wa Modimo ka bopelokgale.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Badumedi botlhe ba ne ba le pelo e le nngwe le mowa o le mongwe, mme ga bo go sena ope yo o reng sepe sa dilo tse o nang natso ke sa gagwe; mme dilo tsotlhe ba ne ba di tlhakanetse.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Mme baaposetoloi ba rera dithero tse di nonofileng ka ga tsogo ya ga Morena Jesu, mme ga nna le bolekane jo bo nitameng mo badumeding botlhe.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Go ne go sena ope yo o tlhokang, gonne botlhe ba ba neng ba na le ditsha kgotsa matlo ba ne ba a rekisa ba tlisa madi kwa baaposetoloing go a abela ba ba tlhokang.
35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
Jaaka go ne go na le Josefa, (yo baaposetoloi ba neng ba mmitsa “Barenabase wa Moreti!” E ne e le wa Balifi ba kwa setlhaketlhakeng sa Kupero).
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
E ne e le mongwe wa ba ba neng ba rekisa ditsha tsa bone tse ba neng ba na natso mme ba tlisa madi kwa baaposetoloing gore ba a abele ba ba tlhokang.
