Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Mme ga bo go le monna a bidiwa Ananiase (le mosadi wa gagwe Safira) ba ba neng ba a rekisa bontlha-bongwe jwa setsha,
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
mme ba tlisa bontlhabongwe fela jwa madi, ba kaya fa e le tlhwatlhwa e e feletseng (mosadi wa gagwe o ne a dumalana tsietso e).
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
Mme Petere a re, “Ananiase, Satane o tladitse pelo ya gago ka maaka fa o bolela gore tlhwatlhwa e ke yone yotlhe, o ne o aketsa Mowa O O Boitshepo.
4 While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.
Setsha e ne e le sa gago go se rekisa kgotsa nnyaa, go ya fela ka fa o neng o rata ka teng. Mme morago ga o sena go se rekisa, e ne e le ga gago go bona gore o ntsha bokae. Ke eng fa o ne o dira jaana? Ga oa aketsa rona o akeditse Modimo.”
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
Erile fela fa Ananiase a utlwa mafoko a, a wela fa fatshe a swa! Mongwe le mongwe a tlewa ke poifo e kgolo,
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
mme makau a mo phutha ka letsela a mo tsaya a ya go mo fitlha.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Erile morago ga dioura di le tharo mosadi wa gagwe a tla, a sa itse se se diragetseng.
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Petere a mmotsa are, “A lo rekisitse setsha sa lona ka bokana?” A araba are “Ee, re se rekisitse ka bokalo.”
9 And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
Mme Petere a re, “Ke eng fa wena le monna wa gago lo ka akanya go dira selo se se ntseng jaana, lo leka maano a bosula go leka nonofo ya Mowa wa Modimo go itse se se diragalang? Ka kwa ntle ga kgoro ele go na le makawana a a tswang go boloka monna wa gago, mme le wena ba tlaa tla go go rwala ba ya go go boloka.”
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
Erile gone fela foo a wela fa fatshe, a swa, mme makawana a tsena mo teng, ya re ba mmona gore o sule, ba mo tsaya ba ya go mmoloka go bapa le monna wa gagwe.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.
Mme poifo e kgolo ya tlela phuthego yotlhe le ba bangwe botlhe ba ba utlwileng se se diragetseng.
12 And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
Ka sebaka seo, Baaposetoloi ba ne ba kopane mo lefelong le le bidiwang mathudi a ga Solomone, mme ba dira ditshupo tse di bonalang le dikgakgamatso mo matlhong a batho.
13 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
Badumedi ba bangwe ba seka ba kgatlhega go kopana le bone, le fa go ntse jalo, ba ne ba ba tlotla thata.
14 and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
Mme badumedi ba oketsega thata mo Moreneng, bontsi jwa banna le basadi.
15 so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.
Balwetse ba ntshediwa kwa mebileng ba le mo malaong le mo diphateng gore bogolo moriti wa ga Petere o wele bangwe ba bone fa a feta!
16 The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Mme bontsi jwa batho jwa tla bo tswa mo tikologong ya Jerusalema, ba tlisa balwetse ba bone le ba ba tsenyweng ke mewa e e maswe; mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a fola.
17 But the high-priest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
Mme Moperesiti yo mogolo le botlhe ba losika le ditsala tsa gagwe mo Basadukaing ba tlala lefufa,
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
mme ba tshwara baaposetoloi, ba ba tsenya mo kgolegelong.
19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth and said,
Mme moengele wa Morena a tla bosigo, a bula dikgoro tsa kgolegelo a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle. Mme a ba raya a re,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
“Tsamayang lo ye mo Tempeleng lo rere kaga Botshelo jo!”
21 And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Mme ba goroga mo Tempeleng e ka ne e le ka nako ya letsatsi le tlhaba mme ka bonako ba simolola go rera! Moragonyana mo mosong oo, Moperesiti yo Mogolo le botlhe ba lekgotla ba tsena mo Tempeleng, ba bitsa Lekgotla le legolo la bagolwane ba Puso, ba romela batho go ya go bitsa baaposetoloi go tla go sekisiwa.
22 But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
Mme erile fa mapodisi a tsena kwa kgolegelong, banna ba bo ba seyo, jalo ba boela kwa Lekgotleng ba bega gore
23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.
“Dikgoro tsa kgolegelo di ne di tswetswe, mme batlhokomedi ba ne ba eme ka kwa ntle, mme erile fa re bula dikgoro, ga bo go sena ope!”
24 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
Mme erile fa molaodi wa mapodisi le baperesiti ba bagolwane ba utlwa se, ba akabala, ba hakgametse thata gore go tlaa diragalang le gore mo gotlhe go tlaa felela kae!
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
Mme mongwe a goroga ka mafoko a a reng banna ba ba neng ba le mo kgolegelong ba mo Tempeleng ba rerela batho!
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
Mme Mogolwane wa mapodisi a tsamaya le mapodisi ba ba tshwara kwa ntle ga mokubukubu, (gonne ba ne ba tshaba batho gore ba tlaa ba bolaya fa ba ka gakalela barutwa) mme ba ba lere fa pele ga Lekgotla.
27 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
28 saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this man's blood upon us.
Moperesiti yo Mogolo a bua a re, “A ga re a lo bolelela gore lo seka lwa tlhola lo ruta kaga Jesu yo? Mme mo boemong jwa go khutlisa go rera kaga Jesu lo tladitse Jerusalema ka thuto ya lona mme lo ikaelela go re baya molato ka loso lwa monna yo!”
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Mme Petere le baaposetoloi ba araba ba re, “Re tshwanetse go obamela Modimo go na le batho.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross;
Modimo wa borra-a-rona mogolwagolwane o tsositse Jesu go tla mo botshelong gape morago ga lo sena go mmolaya ka go mo pega mo mokgorong.
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Mme ka nonofo e kgolo, Modimo wa mo tsholetsa go nna Kgosana le Mmoloki, gore batho ba Iseraele ba tle ba nne le lobaka lwa boikwatlhao le gore dibe tsa bone di itshwarelwe.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.
Mme re basupi ba dilo tse, ga mmogo le Mowa O O Boitshepo, o o neetsweng botlhe ba ba obamelang Modimo.”
33 But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
“Ya re ka ntlha ya go bua jalo, Lekgotla la gakala la ikaelela go ba bolaya.”
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,
Mme mongwe wa bone, Mofarasai yo o bidiwang Gamaliele, (moitseanape wa molao wa tumelo a bile a itsege thata mo bathong) a ema a kopa gore baaposetoloi ba ntshediwe kwa ntle fa a sa ntse a bua.
35 and said to them [[of the council]], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.
Mme a raya banna ba Lekgotla a re,
36 For before these days arose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and came to nought.
“Motlha mongwe go kile ga bo go le Theudase, yo o neng a ipaya jaaka e ka re ke mongwe yo o kwa godimo. Bangwe ba ka nna makgolo a mane ba ikopanya nae, mme a bolawa, mme botlhe ba ba ineetseng mo go ene ba phatlaladiwa kwa ntle ga kutlwelobotlhoko epe.
37 After this man arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
“Morago ga gagwe, ka nako ya fa go kgethisiwa, ga bo go le Judase wa Galalea. A itatedisa batho bangwe go nna barutwa, mme le ene a swa, mme balatedi ba gagwe ba phatlalala.
38 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
“Mme jaanong kgakololo ya me ke e, tlogelang banna ba, mme fa se ba se rutang le se ba se dirang e le ga bone fela, ka bofefo se tlaa fedisiwa.
39 but if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also fighting against God.
Mme fa e le ga Modimo lo tlaa retelelwa ke go ba emisa, e sere kgotsa lona ka bo lona lwa iphitlhela lo tlhabantsha Modimo.”
40 And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Lekgotla la dumalana le kgakololo ya gagwe, ba bitsa baaposetoloi, ba ba itaya, ba ba bolelela gore ba seka ba tlhola ba bua ka leina la ga Jesu, mme morago ba ba lesa ba tsamaya.
41 They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;
Ba tloga fa lekgotleng ba itumeletse gore Modimo o ba supile ba nonofile go tlontlologela leina la one.
42 and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus the Christ.
Mme ka malatsi otlhe mo Tempeleng le mo motsing, ba tswelela go ruta le go rera gore Jesu ke Mesia.
