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 a certain man in Caesarea, named 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, giving much alms to the people, and praying 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”.
saw in a vision plainly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to 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, looking steadily at him, and becoming affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have 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, who is surnamed Peter;
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
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 spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him,
8 mme a ba bolelela se se diragetseng a bo a ba roma kwa Jopa.
and having told them every thing 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 were on their journey, and were drawing near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.
And he became very hungry and wished to eat; but while they were making ready, a trance came upon him,
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 beheld heaven opened, and a sort of vessel descending, as it were a large sheet having cords at the four corners, and let down 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 the four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds 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, Arise, Peter; slay, 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 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 to him again, the second time, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
16 Mme ponatshegelo e ya direga gararo. Mme letsela la boela gape kwa legodimong.
This was done three times; and the vessel was immediately taken 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 doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry 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 they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, 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.
And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
20 Fologela kwa tlase o kopane le bone mme o tsamaye nabo. Sengwe le sengwe se siame, ke ba romile.”
but arise, and go down, and go with them, without scruple; 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 are seeking; for what cause have ye 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 of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to 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.
Then 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 the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting 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 came in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him reverence.
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 while talking with him, he went in, and found many who had 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 to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed 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.”
Wherefore I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye send 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 till this hour; and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and lo! 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 hath been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before 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 for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; and he, when he cometh, will speak to 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!”
I therefore sent to thee immediately; and thou hast done well in coming here. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee from 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 not a 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 to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all men.
Ye yourselves know what was spoken of through the whole of Judaea, 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.
relating to Jesus of Nazareth, that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were overpowered by 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 they also slew by hanging him on a cross.
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 on the third day, and caused him to be manifested,
not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, to ourselves, 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 commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who hath been appointed by God to be 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 all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one that believeth in him shall receive forgiveness 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 was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all 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 those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished 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 speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter,
Can any one forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?
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 that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to remain some days.
