Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
Mme erile re sena go kgaogana le ba golwane ba Efeso, ra tlhamalalela kwa Kosa, letsatsi le le latelang ra goroga mo Rodesa ra ba ra tswelela ra ya Patara.
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Mme foo ra tshwara sekepe se se yang kwa Siria mo kgaolong ya Finikia.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Re ne ra bona setlhake sa Kopero, mme ra se feta ka fa molemeng ra ema mo Ture, kwa Siria, kwa sekepe se neng sa ololelwa teng.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Mme re ne ra fologa mo sekepeng, ra bona badumedi, mme ra nna le bone selekanyo sa beke. Barutwa ba ba ne ba tlhagisa Paulo, Mowa O O Boitshepo o porofesa ka bone gore a seka a ya Jerusalema.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Mme erile bofelo ja beke fa re boela kwa mokorong, phuthego yotlhe mmogo le basadi le bana ba ya le rona kwa lotshitshing kwa re neng ra rapela ra bo ra ba sadisa sentle.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
Mme rona ra palama sekepe bone ba boela gae.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Mme kwa re neng ra ema teng gape go tloga kwa Ture ke kwa Potolomaia kwa re neng ra dumedisa badumedi teng mme ra tlhola nabo le-tsatsi le le lengwe fela.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
Hong ra tswelela ra ya Kaesarea ra nna kwa lwapeng lwa ga Filipo wa Moefangele, mongwe wa batiakone ba ntlha ba ba supa.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
O ne a na le bana ba basetsana ba le bane ba ba sa nyalwang ba ba neng ba na le mpho ya go porofesa.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Mme erile re santse re ntse malatsinyana, monna mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Agabo, yo le ene o neng a na le mpho ya go porofesa, o ne a goroga a tswa Judea,
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
mme a re etela. O ne a tsaya moitlamo wa ga Paulo, a ipofa maoto le mabogo ka one mme a re, “Mowa O O Boitshepo ware, mme fela jalo mong wa moitlamo o, o tlaa bofiwa ke Bajuta kwa Jerusalema a bo a isiwa Roma!”
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Mme erile re utlwa mo, rona rotlhe badumedi ba mo gae le bapati ba gagwe ba o tsamayang nabo, ra kopa Paulo gore a seka a ya Jerusalema.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Mme ene a re, “Lo lelelang? Lo mphatlola pelo! Gonne ke ipaakanyeditse gore ke se ka ka tshwarwa fela kwa Jerusalema, mme le gore ke swe ka ntlha ya Morena Jesu.”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Mme erile fa re bona gore ga a ka ke a rapelesega, ra itlhoboga mme ra re, “A go rata ga Morena go diragadiwe.”
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
Mme ya re morago ga moo ra phutha dilwana tsa rona ra ya kwa Jerusalema.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Barutwa bangwe kwa Kaesarea ba tsamaya le rona, mme fa re goroga re ne re le baeng kwa lwapeng lwa ga Monasone; mongwe wa badumedi ba pele, yo o tlholegileng a tswa Kupero
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
mme le badumedi botlhe kwa Jerusalema ba re amogela ka boitumelo.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
Letsatsi la bobedi Paulo o ne a re tsaya go ya go kopana le Jakobe le bagolwane ba phuthego ya Jerusalema.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Mme morago ga re dumedisana, Paulo a bolela gape dilo tse dintsi tse Modimo o di diretseng Badichaba ka tirelo ya gagwe.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Ba ne ba galaletsa Modimo mme ba re, “O a itse, mokaulengwe yo o rategang, gore go dumetse Bajuta ba le dikete tse kae. Mme ba gatelela thata gore Bajuta ba badumedi ba tshwanetse go sala ngwao ya bone morago.
21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
Bakeresete ba rona ba Sejuta mono Jerusalema ba setse ba boleletswe gore lo kgatlhanong le melao ya ga Moshe, le ngwao ya rona ya Sejuta, le gore lo itsa bana ba bone go rupa.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Mme jaanong go ka dirwang? Gonne ba tlaa utlwa gore lo tsile.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
“Rona re akanya jaana: Re na le banna ba le bane fano ba ba ipaakanyeditseng go ipeola le go ikana.
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Tsamayang le bone kwa Tempeleng le lona lo fete lo ipeole, mme lo ba duelele go ipeola. Mme mongwe le mongwe o tlaa itse gore lo dumalana le Bakeresete ba Sehebera le gore le lona lo obamela melao ya Sejuta mme lo akanya jaaka rona mo dilong tse.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
Mme mo Bakereseteng ba Badichaba ga re ba laolele gore ba sale dingwao tse tsa Sejuta morago gotlhelele, fa e se tse re di ba kwaletseng kaga gore ba seka ba a ja dijo tse di tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa, ba seka ba a ja nama e e sa tshololwang madi ya diphologolo tse di kgamilweng, le gore ba seka ba dira boaka.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
Mme jalo Paulo o ne a dumalana le kopo ya bone mme letsatsi le le latelang a tsamaya le banna a ya kwa Tempeleng, a dira gore maikano a gagwe a itsege ka go ntsha setlhabelo morago ga malatsi a supa le ba bangwe. Malatsi a supa a ne a tloga a fela fa Bajuta bangwe ba ba tswang Asia ba mmona mo Tempeleng mme ba tsosa mokubukubu mo bathong kgatlhanong nae. Ba ne ba mo tshwara,
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
ba goa ba re, “Banna ba Iseraele! Thusang! Monna yo ke ene yo o rerang kgatlhanong le batho ba rona a ba raya a re ba tlole melao ya Sejuta. Ebile o bua kgatlhanong le Tempele ebile a e leswafatsa ka go tsenya Badichaba mo teng.”
29 ( For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
(Gonne mo motseng letsatsi leo, ba ne ba mmonye a na le Terofimo wa Modichaba yo o tlholegileng kwa Efeso, mme ba gopola gore o tsentswe ke Paulo mo Tempeleng.)
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
Baagi ba motse otlhe ba ne ba shakgadiwa thata ke melato e a e pegwang mme ga tsoga mokubukubu o mogolo. Paulo o ne a gogelwa kwa ntle ga Tempele, mme ga tswalwa mabati ka bonako a sena go tsena.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Erile fa ba ntse ba leka go mmolaya, lentswe la tla mo molaoding wa mophato wa masole a Roma gore motse otlhe wa Jerusalema o feretlhegile.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Mme a akofa a laola masole a gagwe le baeteledipele gore ba tsene fa gare ga boidiidi. Erile fa baferetlhi ba bona mephato e tla, ba khutlisa go betsa Paulo.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
Mme molaodi wa mephato a tshwara Paulo mme a laola gore a bofiwe gabedi ka dikeetane. Mme a botsa boidiidi jwa batho gore ke mang le gore o dirileng.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Bangwe ba ne ba bua se, ba bangwe le bone ba bua se sele. Mme erile fa a sa tlhaloganye se ba mo pegang molato ka sone, a laola gore Paulo a isiwe kwa kagong ya ditlhabano.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
Mme erile fa ba fitlha fa mapalamong ga nna pheretlhego e kgolo thata mo e leng gore masole a ne a tsholetsa Paulo a mmaya mo magetleng a bone go mmabalela,
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
mme boidiidi jwa batho jwa salela kwa morago bo goa bo re, “A a bolawe! A a bolawe!”
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
Mme erile fa Paulo a tloga a tsenngwa mo teng a raya molaodi a re, “A nka bua nao?” Molaodi a botsa ka kgakgamalo a re, “A o itse Segerika? A ga o Moegepeto yo o neng a eteletse pele ditsuulodi dingwaganyana tse di fetileng a bo a tsaya maloko a babolai a le dikete tse nne a ya nabo kwa sekakeng?”
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
Paulo o ne a fetola a re, “Nnyaa, Nna ke Mojuta kwa Tareso mo Kilikia, motse o o seng mmotlana. Ke kopa tetlelelo go bua le batho ba.”
40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Mme molaodi o ne a dumela, jalo Paulo a ema mo mapalamong mme a gwetlha batho ka seatla gore ba didimale; ka bofefo ga nna tidimalo mo bathong, mme a bua le bone ka Sehebera a re:
