Acts 13

1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Bar-Naba, Shimon who was called Niger, Luqius of Qurini, Manayeil the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Shaul.

Mo baporofiting le mo baruting ba phuthego kwa Antioka go ne go le Barenabase le Simeone (yo gape o neng a bidiwa “Monna Montsho”), le Lukio (wa Kurene), le Manaene (yo o otletsweng gongwe le Kgosi Herode), le Saulo.

2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Rukha d'Qudsha said, "Separate Bar-Naba and Shaul for me, for the work to which I have called them."

Letsatsi lengwe banna ba, ba ntse ba rapela ba bile ba itimile dijo, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa re, “Ntomololelang Barenabase le Saulo go dira tiro e e tlhophegileng e ke e ba bileditseng.”

3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

Mme morago ga go itima dijo le go rapela, ba ba baya diatla, mme ba ba naya tsela.

4 So, being sent out by the Rukha d'Qudsha, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

Mme ya re ka go gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo ba ya kwa Seleukia ba bo ba ya kwa Kupero.

5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also Yukhanan as their attendant.

Mme mo motseng wa Salamise, ba ne ba ya kwa tlung ya thuto ya Sejuta ba rera. (Johane Mareko o ne a tsamaya le bone e le mothusi wa bone).

6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Yeshua,

Morago ba rera mo motseng mongwe le mongwe go kgabaganya setlhaketlhake sotlhe go fitlhelela ba tsena mo Pafosa kwa ba neng ba kopana teng le moloi wa Mojuta, moporofiti wa tsietso yo o neng a bidiwa Barajesu. O ne a ikgolagantse le molaodi Seregio Paulo, yo e neng e le motho yo o tlhaloganyang thata. Molaodi a laletsa Barenabase le Saulo go mo etela, gonne o ne a batla go utlwa molaetsa wa bone o o neng o tswa kwa Modimong.

7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Bar-Naba and Shaul, and sought to hear the word of God.

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

Mme Elemase (leina la gagwe ka Segerika), wa moloi a leka go faposa le go tlhotlheletsa gore molaodi a seka a reetsa se Saulo le Barenabase ba neng ba se bua, a leka go mo dira gore a seka a ikanya Morena.

9 But Shaul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, fastened his eyes on him,

Mme Saulo ka a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo, a leba moloi ka bogale mme a re,

10 and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

“Morwa diabolo ke wena, o tletse mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa go tsietsa le bolotsana, mmaba wa sengwe le sengwe se se siameng, a ga o kitla o khutlisa go ganetsa Morena?

11 Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

Mme Modimo gompieno o beile seatla sa one sa kwatlhao mo go wena, mme o tlaa foufala ka lobakanyana.” Ka bonako ga nna mouwane le lefifi mo go ene, mme a simolola go tsamaya a kopa mongwe gore a mo tshware ka letsogo a mo goge.

12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

Mme erile molaodi a bona se se diragetseng a dumela mme a hakgamalela nonofo ya molaetsa wa Modimo.

13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and Yukhanan departed from them and returned to Urishlim.

Mme Paulo le ba o neng a na nabo ba tloga mo Pafosa ka sekepe ba ya Perega, wa Pamfilia. Mme Johane a ba ngwegela a boela Jerusalema.

14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

Mme Barenabase le Paulo ba ne ba ya Antioka, motse o o neng o le mo kgaolong ya Pisidia. Ka letsatsi la Sabata ba ne ba tsena mo tlung ya thuto go tshwara tirelo-Modimo.

15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."

Mme morago ga go balwa mo go tlwaelesegileng ga Dikwalo tsa ga Moshe le tsa Baporofiti, bagolwane ba ntlo ya thuto ba ba romelela molaetsa o: “Bakaulengwe, fa lo na le lefoko la tao mo go rona, tlang lo le bue!”

16 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israyel, and you who fear God, listen.

Mme Paulo a ema, a dumedisa mme a simolola a re, “Bana ba Iseraele, le botlhe ba ba fano ba ba tlotlang Modimo, [mmang ke simolole se ke se buang ka go lo bolelela ditso di se kae].

17 The God of this people Israyel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

“Modimo wa chaba e, ya Iseraele o tlhophile bo rraa-ronamogolwagolwane mme wa ba tlotla mo Egepeto ka go ba ntsha ka kgalalelo mo botlhankeng jwa bone.

18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

“Mme wa ba tlhokomela mo go tsamayeng ga bone mo sekakeng ka dingwaga di le masome mane.

19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

Mme wa senya dichaba di supa mo Kanana, mme wa neela Iseraele lefatshe la bone e le boswa. Baatlhodi ba busitse ka lobaka lo e neng e ka nna dingwaga di le makgolo a mane le masome a matlhano, mme ba ne ba salwa morago ke Samuele wa moporofiti.

20 All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Shemuyel the prophet.

21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Shaul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benyamin, for forty years.

“Mme batho ba kopa gore ba nne le kgosi, mme Modimo wa ba neela Saulo (morwa Kishe), monna wa lotso lwa ga Benjamine, yo o neng a busa ka dingwaga di le masome a mane.

22 When he had removed him, he raised up Dawid to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found Dawid the son of Ishai, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

“Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Modimo wa mo tlosa wa tlhoma Dafide go nna kgosi mo maemong a gagwe, monna yo Modimo o neng wa re ka ga gagwe, ‘Dafide (morwa Jese) monna yo pelo yame e mo itumelelang thata, yo o tlaa dirang go rata ga me gotlhe.’

23 From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israyel a Savior, Yeshua,

Go tswa mo losikeng lwa monna yo, Modimo o ne wa tlisetsa Iseraele Mmoloki, ebong Jesu, fela jaaka o solofeditse.

24 before his coming, when Yukhanan had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israyel.

Mme pele ga a goroga, Johane wa Mokolobetsi o ne a rera botlhokwa jwa gore mongwe le mongwe mo Iseraele a sokologe mo dibeng le go boela mo Modimong.

25 As Yukhanan was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

Mme erile fa Johane a fetsa tiro ya gagwe a botsa a re, ‘A lo akanya gore ke Mesia? Nnyaa! Ene o e tla ka bonako, mme mo go ene ga ke sepe!’

26 Brothers, children of the stock of Avraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.

“Bakaulengwe, lona bomorwa Aberahame, le lona lotlhe Badichaba ba lo tlotlang Modimo, poloko e ke ya rona rotlhe!

27 For those who dwell in Urishlim, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

Bajuta mo Jerusalema le baeteledipele ba bone ba diragaditse seporofeso ka go bolaya Jesu, gonne ba ne ba sa mo lemoge, kgotsa ba sa itse gore ke ene yo baporofiti ba neng ba kwadile ka ga gagwe, le fa ba ne ba utlwa mafoko a baporofiti a balwa Sabata mongwe le mongwe.

28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

Mme ba ne ba tlhoka mabaka a a utlwalang go mmolaya, mme ba kopa Pilatwe gore a ba letle gore ba bolaye Jesu.

29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.

Mme erile ba sena go diragatsa seporofeso sotlhe ka ga loso lwa gagwe, o ne a pagololwa mo sefapanong mme a tsenngwa mo lebitleng.

30 But God raised him from the dead,

“Mme Modimo wa mo tsosa gape! mo losong.

31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galila to Urishlim, who are his witnesses to the people.

Mme o ne a bonwa gantsi mo malatsing a makhutshwane a a latelang ke banna ba ba neng ba na nae go tswa Galalea go ya Jerusalema, banna ba ba neng ba sa bolo go nna ba bolela ka gale mo phatlalatseng.

32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

“Mme jaanong Barenabase le nna re fano go lo tlisetsa Mafoko a a Molemo a, gore tsholofetso ya Modimo mo go borraetsho-mogolo e diragaditswe mo dinakong tsa rona, ka go tsosa Jesu mo losong gape. Se ke sone se Pesalema ya bobedi e buang kaga sone fa e bua kaga Jesu e re, ‘Gompieno ke go tlotlile jaaka Morwaake.’

33 that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'

34 "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of Dawid.'

“Gonne Modimo o ne o solofeditse go mo rudisa gape, a se kitla a tlhola a a swa gape. Mo go kwadilwe mo lokwalong lo lo reng, ‘Ke tlaa lo direla dilo tse di hakgamatsang tse ke di solofeditseng Dafide.’

35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'

“Mo Pesalemeng e nngwe o tlhalositse thata a re, ‘Modimo ga o kitla o letla gore yo o Boitshepo wa one a bole.’

36 For Dawid, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.

Mo go ne go sa reye Dafide, gonne erile Dafide a sena go direla dikokomana tsa gagwe ka fa go rateng ga Modimo, o ne a swa mme a fitlhwa, mme mmele wa gagwe wa bola.

37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

[Nnyaa, go ne go raya yo mongwe], mongwe yo Modimo o mo rudisitseng, yo mmele wa gagwe o iseng o ke o tshwarwe ke tshenyego ya loso.

38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,

“Bakaulengwe! Reetsang! Mo monneng yo ebong Jesu, go na le boitshwarelo jwa dibe tsa lona!

39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Mushe.

Mme mongwe le mongwe yo o mo ikanyang o golotswe mo melatong yotlhe le gone o siame, sengwe se molao wa Sejuta o neng o sa kake wa se dira.

40 So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:

Mme jaanong itlhokomeleng! Se direng gore mafoko a baporofiti a reye lona. Gonne ba re,

41 'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"

‘Lebang mme lo nyelele, lona banyatsi ba boammaaruri, gonne ke dira sengwe mo lobakeng lwa lona, sengwe se lo se ka keng lwa se dumela fa lo utlwa se bolelwa.’”

42 So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.

Mme erile batho ba tswa mo tlung ya thuto ka letsatsi leo, ba kopa Paulo go boa a ya go bua le bone beke e e latelang.

43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Bar-Naba; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

Mme Bajuta ba le bantsi le Badichaba ba badumedi ba ba neng ba rapela kwa tlung ya thuto ba sala Paulo le Barenabase morago mo mmileng mme bone ba ba tlhotlheletsa go amogela kutlwelobotlhoko e Modimo o e ba nayang.

44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.

Beke e e latelang motse otlhe wa batla go tla go ba utlwa ba rera Lefoko la Modimo.

45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

Mme erile fa Bajuta ba baeteledipele ba bona bontsintsi jwa batho ba tlala lefufa, mme ba hutsa ba bo ba ganetsa se Paulo o neng a se bua.

46 Paul and Bar-Naba spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (aiōnios g166)

Mme Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba bua ka bopelokgale ba re, “Go ne go tlhokega gore Mafoko a a Molemo a a tswang kwa Modimong a tshwanetse go neelwa lona Bajuta pele. Mme ka gobo lo a ganne, lwa ba lwa itshupa fa lo sa tshwanela botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, go siame re tlaa bo neela Badichaba. (aiōnios g166)

47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth.'"

Gonne se ke se Morena o se laotseng fa a re, Ke lo dirile lesedi mo go badichaba, go ba goga mo khutlong tse di kgakala tsa lefatshe go ba tlisa mo polokong ya me.”

48 As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)

Mme erile Badichaba ba utlwa se, ba itumela thata mme ba ipelela molaetsa wa ga Paulo; ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba batla botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, ba dumela. (aiōnios g166)

49 The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

Mme molaetsa wa Modimo wa gasama mo kgaolong eo yotlhe.

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Bar-Naba, and threw them out of their borders.

Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba feretlha badumedi ba basadi ba ba boifang Modimo ga mmogo le baeteledipele ba motse mme ba tlhotlheletsa boidiidi jwa batho go nna kgatlhanong le Paulo le Barenabase, mme ba ba kobela kwa ntle ga motse.

51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

Mme ba ne ba itlhotlhora lorole mo dinaong tsa bone go supa go nna kgatlhanong le motse o, mme ba ya kwa motseng wa Ikonio.

52 The disciples were filled with joy with the Rukha d'Qudsha.

Mme ba ba ba sokolotseng ba tlala boitumelo le Mowa O O Boitshepo.
