Acts 9
1 AND Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Mme Saulo, ka go tshosa ka bogale jwa go nyeletsa Mokeresete mongwe le mongwe, o ne a ya kwa Moperesiting yo mogolo kwa Jerusalema.
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
O ne a kopa lokwalo lo lo kwaletsweng diphuthego kwa Damaseko, a kopa thuso ya go bogisa badumedi ba o tlaa ba bonang teng, banna le basadi gore a tle a ba lere kwa Jerusalema ba golegilwe.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Mme mo loetong lo, ya re a atamela Damaseko ka tshoganetso lesedi le le galalelang thata la mo phatsimela le tswa legodimong!
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
O ne a wela fa fatshe mme a utlwa lentswe le re, “Saulo! Saulo! o mpogisetsang?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Mme ene a re, “O mang Morena?” Jalo lentswe la fetola la re, “Ke Jesu yo o mmogisang!
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Jaanong tsoga o tsene mo motseng mme o letele ditaelo tsa me.”
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
Mme banna ba ba neng ba na le Saulo ba ema ba tuulala ka kgakgamalo, gonne ba ne ba utlwa lentswe la mongwe mme ba sa mmone!
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Mme erile fa Saulo a tsoga fa fatshe a bo a sa bone. O ne a tshwanelwa ke go gogelwa kwa Damaseko kwa o neng a nna teng malatsi a mararo, a sa bone, a sa je, a sa nwe ka nako eo yotlhe.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Mme mo Damaseko go ne go na le morutwa, ebong Ananiase. Modimo o ne wa bua nae mo ponatshegelong wa re, “Ananiase!” Mme a re, “Morena”!
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Mme Morena a re, “Tsamaya o ye kwa mmileng o go tweng Tolamo o batle ntlo ya monna yo o bidiwang Judase mme o botse gore Saulo wa Tareso o kae. O a rapela gone jaanong, gonne
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
ke mmontshitse ponatshegelo ya monna yo o bidiwang Ananiase a tla go baya diatla tsa gagwe mo go ene gore a foufologe gape!”
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Mme Ananiase a re, “Morena, ke utlwile kaga dilo tse di sa siamang tse monna yo o di dirileng mo badumeding kwa Jerusalema!
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Gape re utlwa gore o tshotse tetlelelo ya go tshwara e e tswang kwa baperesiting ba bagolo go mo fa thata ya go tshwara modumedi mongwe le mongwe mo Damaseko!”
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Mme Morena a re, “Tsamaya o dire se ke se buang. Gonne Saulo ke sejana same se se tlhaotsweng go isa molaetsa wame mo go Badichaba le mo dikgosing tsa bone, le mo bathong ba Iseraele.
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Mme ke tlaa mo supegetsa gore o tshwanetse go mpogela go le kae.”
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Mme Ananiase a tsamaya a bona Saulo a bo a mmaya diatla a re, “Mokaulengwe Saulo, Morena Jesu yo o neng a go ipontsha mo tseleng, o nthomile gore o tle o tladiwe ka Mowa O O Boitshepo le gore o foufologe.”
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
Ya re gone fela foo (ya ne ekete go wa dikgapetlana mo matlhong a ga Saulo) a foufologa, mme ka bonako a kolobediwa.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Mme a ja mme a nonofa. O ne a nna le badumedi mo Damaseko malatsinyana,
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
mme erile gone fela foo a ya kwa tlung ya thuto go bolelela mongwe le mongwe Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Jesu, gore tota ke Morwa Modimo!
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
Botlhe ba ba neng ba mo utlwa ba ne ba hakgamala. Ba ne ba botsa ba re, “A monna yo ga se ene yo o neng a bogisa thata balatedi ba ga Jesu kwa Jerusalema? Mme re utlwa gore o tletse fano go tla go ba tshwara botlhe mme a ba golega go ba isa kwa baperesiting ba bagolo.”
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
Saulo o ne a nna tlhaga thata mo therong ya gagwe, mme Bajuta ba Damaseko ba ne ba sa kgone go emela ditshupo tsa gagwe gore Jesu tota e ne e le Keresete.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
Moragonyana, baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ikaelela go mmolaya.
24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
Mme o ne a bolelelwa kaga maikaelelo a bone, gore ba ne ba tlhokometse dikgoro tsa motse bosigo le motshegare ba ipaakanyeditse go mmolaya.
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
Mme erile bosigo bangwe ba o ba sokolotseng ba mo falotsha ka kgorwana mo loboteng lwa motse a le mo serotong.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
Erile fa a goroga kwa Jerusalema a leka go kopana le badumedi, mme ba ne ba mo tshaba. Ba ne ba gopola gore o itira yo o dumelang!
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Jalo Barenabase a mo tlisa mo baaposetoloing mme a ba bolelela ka fa Saulo a ileng a bona Morena ka teng mo tseleng a ya Damaseko, le se Morena o neng a se bua nae, le ka thero ya gagwe e e nonofileng ka leina la ga Jesu kwa Damaseko.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
Mme ba mo amogela, mme morago ga moo o ne a nna le badumedi ka nako tsotlhe,
29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
mme a rera ka bopelokgale mo leineng la Morena. Mme Bajuta bangwe ba ba neng ba bua Segerika ba o kileng a ganetsana nabo ba loga leano la go mmolaya.
30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Le fa go ntse jalo, erile badumedi ba bangwe ba utlwa diphatsa tse a leng mo go tsone, ba mo isa kwa Kaesarea mme ya re morago ga moo ba mo isa kwa ga gabo kwa Tareso.
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Erile ka lobaka lo, phuthego e ne e le mo kagisong mo ntlheng tsotlhe tsa Judea, Galalea le Samaria, mme tsa gola mo nonofong le mo palong. Badumedi ba ithuta go tsamaya ba boifa Morena mo kgomotsong ya Mowa O O Boitshepo.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Petere o ne a tsamaya mafelo a a farologanyeng go ba etela, o ne a etela le badumedi ba ba kwa motseng wa Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
Teng koo, a kopana le monna yo o neng a bidiwa Aenease, yo o neng a gateletswe ke bolwetse a bile a sa kgone go tsoga mo bolaong ka dingwaga di roba bobedi.
34 And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Mme Petere a mo raya a re, “Aenease! Jesu Keresete o go fodisitse! Tsoga o baakanye bolao jwa gago.” Mme erile fela gone foo a fodisiwa.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
Mme batho botlhe ba Lida le ba Sharona ba sokologela mo Moreneng fa ba bona Aenease a tsamaya.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Mo motseng wa Jopa go ne go na le mosadi a bidiwa Dorokase, (le fa e le Tshephe) modumedi yo o neng a tshela a direla ba bangwe bo-molemo, bogolo jang batlhoki.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Ka nako eo o ne a lwala mme a swa. Ditsala tsa gagwe tsa mmaakanyetsa phitlho mme tsa mo robatsa mo ntlwaneng e e kwa godimo.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
Mme erile fa ba utlwa fa Petere a le gaufi mo Lida, ba roma banna ba le babedi go kopa go boela le bone kwa Jopa.
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Mme o ne a dira jalo, erile fela fa a goroga, ba mo tseela kwa ntlwaneng ee kwa go-dimo kwa Dorokase o neng a beilwe teng. Ntlo e ne e tletse batlholagadi ba ba lelang ba ba neng ba bontshana diaparo tse Dorokase o di ba diretseng.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Mme Petere a ba kopa gore botlhe ba tswele kwa ntle; jalo a khubama a rapela. Erile a retologela kwa setopong a re, “Tsoga Dorokase,” mme a bula matlho! Ya re a bona Petere a tsoga!
41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
A mo naya letsogo a mo thusa go tsoga mme a biletsa badumedi botlhe le batlholagadi mo teng, a ba mo neela!
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Dikgang tsa anama le motse, mme ba le bantsi, ba dumela mo Moreneng.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Mme Petere a nna lobaka lo loleele mo Jopa, a nna le Simone, wa mosuga matlalo.
