Acts 1
1 The indeed first account I composed concerning all the things, O Theophilus, of which began Jesus to do both and to teach
Tsala e e rategang e e ratang Modimo: mo lokwalong lwa me lwa ntlha, ke lo boleletse kaga botshelo le dithuto tsa ga Morena Jesu le ka fa a neng a boela legodimong ka teng fa a sena go fa barutwa ba gagwe ditaelo tse di tswang kwa Moweng O O Boitshepo.
2 until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.
3 to those also He presented Himself alive after the suffering of Him with many proofs, during days forty appearing to them and speaking the [things] concerning the kingdom of God.
Mo malatsing a le masome mane morago ga papolo ya gagwe, o ne a ntse a ipontsha barutwa ba gagwe a le mo sebopegong sa setho, gape a ba lemotsha ka ditsela tse dintsi gore ke ene tota yo ba mmonang. Mme mo dinakong tse o ne a buisanya le bone kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo.
4 And being assembled together He instructed to them from Jerusalem not to depart, but to await the promise of the Father That which you heard of Me;
Mo go nngwe ya diphuthego tse, o ne a ba bolelela gore ba seka ba tloga mo Jerusalema go fitlhelela Mowa O O Boitshepo o ba apesa e le go diragatsa tsholofetso ya ga Rara, puo e a neng a kile a buisanya le bone ka yone.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days.
Mme a ba gakolola gore “Johane o kolobeditse ka metsi, mme jaanong lo tlaa kolobediwa ka Mowa O O Boitshepo mo malatsing a se kae a a tlang”.
6 Those indeed therefore having come together (were asking *N(k)O*) Him saying; Lord, if at time this are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?
Mme ka lobaka longwe fa a bonala kwa go bone, ba mmotsa ba re, “Morena a o ya go golola Iseraele [mo go Roma] jaanong o bo o re dira chaba e e gololesegileng?”
7 He said then to them; Not yours it is to know times or seasons which the Father put in place by His own authority,
Mme a fetola a re, “Rara ke ene a rulaganyang dipaka tsa go nna jalo. Mme ga se ga lona gore lo itse kaga tsone.
8 But you will receive power when was coming the Holy Spirit upon you and you will be (My *N(K)O*) witnesses in both Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and until [the] uttermost part of the earth.
Mme fa Mowa O O Boitshepo o sena go tla mo go lona, lo tlaa amogela nonofo ya go rera ka bothakga jo bogolo mo bathong ba Jerusalema le mo Judea yotlhe le mo Samarea, le kwa dikhutlong tsa lefatshe ka ga loso le tsogo ya me.”
9 And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them.
Mme erile a sena go bua mafoko a, a tlhatlhogela kwa legodimong a nyelela mo lerung, a ba tlogela ba mo lebile ka kakabalo.
10 And as looking intently they were into the heaven as is going He, then behold men two had stood by them in (garments white, *N(k)O*)
Fa ba sa ntse ba mo tsepegile matlho go mmona lwa bofelo, ka tshoganetso banna ba babedi ba apere dipurapura tse di tshweu ba bo ba eme fa thoko ga bone,
11 who also said; Men Galileans, why have you stood (looking *NK(o)*) into heaven? This Jesus who having been taken up from you into heaven thus will come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.
mme ba re, “Banna ba Galalea ke eng fa lo tsepegetse a matlho kwa legodimong ka kakabalo? Jesu o ile legodimong mme ka letsatsi lengwe o tlaa tla fela jaaka a ile!”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding journey.
Ba ne ba le kwa Thabeng Lotlhware fa se se diragala, jaanong ba boela kwa morago ba tsamaya sephatlo sa mmaele go boela kwa Jerusalema.
13 And when they had entered into the upper room they went up where they were staying, both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas [son] of James.
Mme ba tshwara thapelo mo ntlwanenge e kwa godimo e ba neng ba nna mo go yone. A ke maina a ba ba neng ba le teng mo phuthegong ya thapelo. Petere, Johane, Jakobe Anderea, Filipo, Thomase, Baretholomea, Mathaio, Jakobe, le bomorwa rraagwe Jesu, ba le setlhophanyana le mmaagwe Jesu, ba ne ba le teng.
14 These all were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer (and in supplication *K*) with the [the] women and Mary with the mother of Jesus and (with *ko*) the brothers of Him.
15 And in days these having stood up Peter in [the] midst of the (brothers *N(K)O*) he said — was then [the] number of names together the same (about *N(k)O*) a hundred twenty —
Phuthego e ya thapelo e ne ya tswelela ka malatsi a le mantsi. Mme ya re ka nako eo, mo letsatsing leo fa go ne go na le batho ba ka nna lekgolo le masome a mabedi, Petere o ne a ema ka dinao mme a ba raya a re:
16 Men brothers, it was necessary for to have been fulfilled Scripture (this *k*) which (foretold *NK(o)*) the Spirit Holy through [the] mouth of David concerning Judas the [one] having become guide to those having arrested (*k*) Jesus;
“Bakaulengwe, go ne go tlhokega gore dikwalo di diragadiwe mabapi le Jutase yo o okileng Jesu ka go supegetsa bontsintsi jwa batho kwa a leng teng, gonne selo se, se sale se boletswe pele bogologolo ka Mowa O O Boitshepo o bua ka Kgosi Dafide.
17 for numbered he was (among *N(k)O*) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
“Jutase e ne e le mongwe wa rona a tlhophilwe go nna morutwa fela jaaka rona.
18 This [man] indeed then acquired a field out of (the *k*) reward of unrighteousness, and headlong having fallen he burst open in [the] middle and gushed out all the intestines of him,
O ne a reka setsha sa lefatshe ka madi a o a amogetseng ka go loga maano a boithamako mme a wela fa fatshe a phanyega ka bogare mme mala a gagwe a gorometsegela kwa ntle.
19 And known it became to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that to call the field that [one] in [their] own language of them Akeldama That is Field of Blood.
Dikgang tsa loso lwa gagwe di ne tsa anama ka bofefo mo bathong ba Jerusalema, jalo ba bitsa setsha seo Lefatshe la Madi!
20 It has been written for in [the] book of Psalms: should become the homestead of him desolate and not should there be [one] who is dwelling in it,’ and The position of him (take *N(k)O*) another.’
“Polelelo-pele ya ga Kgosi Dafide ka ga se, e bonwa mo lokwalong lwa Dipesalema mo a reng, ‘A motse wa gagwe o senngwe o seka wa nnwa ke ope.’ Gape, ‘A tiro ya gagwe e neelwe o sele go e dira.’
21 It behooves therefore of those [who] were accompanying us men during all [the] time (in *k*) that he came in and he went out among us the Lord Jesus,
“Mme jaanong re tshwanetse go tlhopha mongwe yo o ka tsayang maemo a ga Jutase, le go re tlatsa re le basupi ba tsogo ya ga Jesu. A re tlhopheng mongwe yo o saleng a nna le rona go simolola fa re tsalana le Morena, go tloga ka nako e o neng a kolobediwa ke Johane go fitlhelela a tseelwa kwa legodimong.”
22 having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, a witness of the resurrection of Him with us to become one of these.
23 And they put forward two, Joseph who is being called Barsabbas who was called Justus and Matthias.
Phuthego e ne ya tlhopha maina a banna ba le babedi: Jusefa Justiso (yo gape a itsegeng ka leina la Barenabase) le Mathiase.
24 And having prayed they said; You yourself Lord knower of the hearts of all, do show whom You have chosen of these two one
Jalo ba rapela gore ba tlhope monna yo o tshwanetseng, ba re, “O! Morena, o itse pelo nngwe le nngwe re bontshe gore ke ofe wa banna ba yo wena o mo kgethileng gore a nne moaposetoloi, yo o ileng kwa mannong a a mo tshwanetseng.”.
25 to take the (place *N(k)O*) of the ministry this and apostleship (from *N(k)O*) which turned aside Judas to go to the place [his] own.
26 And they gave lots (to them *N(k)O*) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Jalo ba laola ka bola mme ya re ba gasa bola jwa supa Mathiase, jalo a kgethwa go nna mongwe wa ba ba lesome le motso.
