Ditiro 10
1 Mme mo Kaesarea go ne go nna mo eteledipele wa mophato wa ntwa ya Seroma gotwe Korenelio, e le molaodi wa mophato wa Itale.
Now [there was] a certain man in Cæsarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
2 E ne e le motho yo o ratang Modimo, a bile a o tlotla thata, le ba ntlo ya gagwe ba ne ba ntse jalo. O ne a aba ka mowa o o gololesegileng a bile a le motho wa thapelo.
a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 Tshokologo nngwe ya letsatsi ya re a santse a ntse, ka nako e ka nna ya boraro, a bona ponatshegelo, mme mo ponatshegelong e, a bona moengele wa Modimo a tla kwa go ene a re, “Korenelio”.
He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Korenelio a re, “O batlang Morena!” Moengele a fetola a re, “Dithapelo tsa gago le dimpho tsa gago Modimo o di bonye.
And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Jaanong roma banna bangwe kwa Jopa go ya go batla mongwe yo o bidiwang Simone Petere, yo o nnang le Simone wa mosuga matlalo, go bapa le lotshitshi lwa lewatle, mme lo mo kope gore a lo etele.”
And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side.
7 Erile moengele a sena go tsamaya, Korenelio a bitsa batlhanka ba ntlo ya gagwe ba le babedi le motlhabani yo o boifang Modimo, mongwe wa ba ba ikanyegang,
And when the angel that spake unto him was departed, he called two of his household-servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 mme a ba bolelela se se diragetseng a bo a ba roma kwa Jopa.
and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Erile letsatsi le le latelang, fa ba atamela motse, Petere a tlhatlogela kwa godimo ga ntlo ya gagwe go rapela. Go ne go le motshegare ebile o ne a tshwerwe ke tlala, mme erile dijo tsa motshegare di sa ntse di baakanngwa a bona ponatshegelo.
Now on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour:
and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;
11 O ne a bona legodimo le bulega, mme a bona letsela le legolo le lepeleditswe ka dinaka tsa lone tse nne, le fitlha fa fatshe.
and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:
12 Mme mo letseleng go ne go le diphologolo tsa mefuta yotlhe, dinoga le dinonyane (tse di idiwang Bajuta go di ja).
wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.
13 Mme lentswe la mo raya la re, “Tsamaya o bolaye o je nngwe ya tsone e o e batlang.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.
14 Petere a fetola a re, “Nnyaa, Morena, ga ke ise nke ke je diphologolo tse di ntseng jaana mo botshelong jwa me, gonne di a idiwa ka melao ya rona ya Sejuta.”
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.
15 Lentswe la bua gape, la re, “Se ganetsanye le Modimo! Fa o re selo se tshwanetse go jewa go raya gore se siame.”
And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.
16 Mme ponatshegelo e ya direga gararo. Mme letsela la boela gape kwa legodimong.
And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven.
17 Petere o ne a akabala thata gore ponatshegelo e ka ne e raya eng? O ne a tshwanetse go dirang? Mme jaana banna ba ba romilweng ke Korenelio ba ne ba bone ntlo e, mme ba bo ba eme kwa ntle fa kgorong,
Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
18 ba botsa gore a ntlo e ke yone e Simone Petere o nnang mo go yone.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there.
19 Mme erile Petere a sa ntse a hakgamaletse ponatshegelo, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa mo raya wa re, “Banna ba bararo ba tsile kwa go wena.
And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Fologela kwa tlase o kopane le bone mme o tsamaye nabo. Sengwe le sengwe se siame, ke ba romile.”
But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them.
21 Jalo Petere a fologa, mme a re, “Ke nna yo lo mmatlang. Jaanong ke eng se lo se batlang.”
And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 Mme jalo ba mmolelela kaga Korenelio molaodi wa Mo-Roma yo o siameng wa Modimo, yo o neng a itsege thata mo Bajuteng le jaaka moengele a ne a mo laetse go ya go bitsa Petere go tla go mmolelela se Modimo o batlang a se dira.
And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned [of God] by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
23 Mme Petere a ba amogela a bo a ba fa boroko sigong joo. Letsatsi le le tlang a tsamaya nabo, ba na le (badumedi) ba ba tswang Jopa.
So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Ba goroga mo Kaesarea letsatsi le le latelang, mme Korenelio o ne a ba letile a bile a biditse ba losika lwa gagwe le ditsala tsa gagwe tsa botlhokwa go nna le Petere.
And on the morrow they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends.
25 Erile fa Petere a tsena mo ga gagwe, Korenelio a wela fa fatshe fa pele ga gagwe a mo obamela.
And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 Mme Petere a re, “Ema! Le nna ka nosi ke motho!”
But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 Mme a ema ba buisanya ka sebakanyana ba bo ba ya kwa ba bangwe ba neng ba phuthegetse teng.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:
28 Mme Petere a ba raya a re, “Lo a itse gore go kgatlhanong, le melao ya Sejuta gore ke tsene mo lolwapeng lwa Modichaba. Mme Modimo o mpontshitse mo ponatshegelong gore ke seka ka ba ka lebela ope kwa tlase.
and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:
29 Mme ka tla fela jaaka ke bidiwa. Jaanong mpolelelang se lo se batlang.”
wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me.
30 Mme Korenelio a fetola a re, “Malatsi a mane a a fetileng ke ne ke rapela jaaka gale ka nako e ya maitseboa, fa ka tshoganetso monna a ema fa pele ga me a apere seaparo se se galalelang!
And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,
31 Mme a nthaya a re, ‘Korenelio, thapelo tsa gago di utlwetse le dimpho tsa gago di lemogilwe ke Modimo!
and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Jaanong roma banna bangwe kwa Jopa go itsise Simone Petere, yo o nnang mo motseng wa ga Simone, wa mosuga matlalo, fa lotshitshing lwa lewatle.’
Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
33 Mme ke ne ka re o ye go bidiwa, mme o dirile sentle ka go tla ka bonako. Jaanong ke rona ba, re letile fa pele ga Morena, re batla go itse se o se go boleletseng go se re bolelela!”
Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.
34 Mme Petere a fetola a re, “Ke bona sentle gore Bajuta ga se bone fela ba Modimo o ba ratang!
And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Mo chabeng nngwe le nngwe o na le ba ba mo obamelang ba bile ba dira dilo tse di siameng mme mo go ene ba a amogelesega.
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Ke tlhomamisa gore lo utlwile kaga Mafoko a a Molemo a batho ba Iseraele, gore go na le kagiso mo Modimong ka Jesu, Mesia, yo e leng Morena wa (lobopo) lotlhe. Molaetsa o, o aname le Judea yotlhe, o simolotswe ke Johane wa Mokolobetsi mo Galalea.
The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all)—
that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judæa, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Mme ga go belaesege go itse gore Jesu wa Nasaretha o ne a tlodiwa ke Modimo ka Mowa o o Boitshepo le ka nonofo, mme o ne a tsamaya a dira molemo a bile a fodisa botlhe ba ba neng ba na le mewa e e maswe, gonne Modimo o ne o na nae.
[even] Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 “Mme rona baaposetoloi re basupi ba tsotlhe tse o di dirileng mo Iseraele yotlhe le mo Jerusalema kwa o neng a bolaelwa teng mo sefapaanong.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree.
40 Mme Modimo o ne wa mo tshedisa gape morago ga malatsi a mararo, mme wa mmontsha basupi bangwe ba Modimo o neng o sale o ba tlhopha pele, e seng mongwe le mongwe, mme e leng rona ba re neng ree ja re ba ree nwa nae a sena go tsoga mo baswing.
Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Mme o ne a re roma go ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo gongwe le gongwe le go supa gore Jesu o beilwe go nna Moatlhodi wa botlhe, baswi le batshedi.
And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Mme le baporofiti botlhe ba kwadile ka ga gagwe, ba re mongwe le mongwe yo o dumelang mo go ene o tlaa itshwarelwa dibe ka leina la gagwe.”
To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.
44 Mme erile Petere a sa ntse a bua dilo tse Mowa O O Boitshepo wa fologela mo go botlhe ba ba neng ba reeditse!
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word.
45 Mme Bajuta ba ba neng ba tsile le Petere ba ne ba hakgamala gore neo ya Mowa O O Boitshepo e ka newa le Badichaba!
And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
46 Mme go ne go ka se ka ga nna le pelaelo, gonne ba ba utlwile ba bua ka diteme ba bile ba galaletsa Modimo. Petere o ne a botsa a re, “A mongwe o ka gana gore ke ba kolobetse, ka gore jaanong ba amogetse Mowa O O Boitshepo fela jaaka re ne ra o amogela?”
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 Mme o ne a dira jalo, a ba kolobetsa mo leineng la ga Jesu, Mesia. Morago Korenelio a mo kopa go nna le bone malatsinyana.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
