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.
There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, 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, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
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 evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto 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 when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come 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 call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
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 which spake unto Cornelius 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 when he had declared all [these] 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.
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: 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 saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to 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 of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
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 any thing that is common or 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 the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
16 Mme ponatshegelo e ya direga gararo. Mme letsela la boela gape kwa legodimong.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again 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 doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and 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, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged 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.
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.”
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: 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.”
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; 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 the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of 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.
Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain 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 the morrow after they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 Erile fa Petere a tsena mo ga gagwe, Korenelio a wela fa fatshe fa pele ga gagwe a mo obamela.
And as Peter was coming in, 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 took 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 found many that were 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 know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Mme ka tla fela jaaka ke bidiwa. Jaanong mpolelelang se lo se batlang.”
Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have 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 I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 Mme a nthaya a re, ‘Korenelio, thapelo tsa gago di utlwetse le dimpho tsa gago di lemogilwe ke Modimo!
And said, 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 hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
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!”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Mme Petere a fetola a re, “Ke bona sentle gore Bajuta ga se bone fela ba Modimo o ba ratang!
Then 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 accepted with 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 [God] sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judæa, and began 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.
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost 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 land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged 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 shewed him openly;
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink 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 commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and 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 give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in 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 Ghost fell on all them which 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 which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
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 water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost 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 the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
