Ditiro 12
1 Mme ka nako e o Kgosi Herode o ne a nna kgatlhanong le badumedi bangwe,
At that [very] now time put forth Herod the king the hands to mistreat some of those of the church.
2 mme a bolaya moaposetoloi Jakobe (mogoloa Johane).
He executed then James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Erile fa Herode a bona gore go itumedisa baeteledipele ba Bajuta jang, a tshwara Petere ka modiro wa Tlolaganyo,
(and *k*) Having seen (now *no*) that pleasing it is to the Jews, he proceeded to take also Peter — these were now (the *no*) days of the Unleavened [Bread] —
4 mme a mo tsenya mo kgolegelong, a mmaya ka fa tlase ga tlhokomelo ya masole a le lesome le borataro. Maikaelelo a ga Herode e ne e le go isa Petere kwa Bajuteng gore a bolawe morago ga modiro wa Tlolaganyo.
whom also having seized he put in prison having delivered [him] to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring out him to the people.
5 Mme thapelo e e nonofileng e tswa mo phuthegong e ne ya tsena kwa Modimong gore Petere a babalesege ka nako tsotlhe fa a sa ntse a le mo kgolegelong.
Indeed therefore Peter was kept in the prison; prayer however was (fervently *N(k)O*) being made by the church to God (concerning *N(k)O*) him.
6 Bosigo pele ga nako e o neng a tshwanetse go bolawa ka yone, o ne a robetse, a bofilwe thata ka keetane a le fa gare ga masole a le mabedi le ba bangwe ba eme ba tlhokometse fa pele ga kgoro ya kgolegelo,
When then was about (to bring forth *N(k)(o)*) him Herod, in the night that [one] was Peter sleeping between two soldiers bound with chains two, guards also before the door were watching the prison.
7 fa ka tshoganetso go nna lesedi mo ntlwaneng ya kgolegelo mme moengele wa Morena a ema fa thoko ga ga Petere! Moengele a mo itaya fa lotlhakoreng go mo tsosa, a mo raya a re, “Tsoga ka bonako!” Mme dikeetane tsa wa mo mabogong a gagwe!
And behold an angel of [the] Lord stood by and a light shone in the cell; Having struck then the side of Peter he woke up him saying; do rise up with speed. And fell of him the chains off the hands.
8 Mme moengele a mo raya a re, “Apara o rwale ditlhako tsa gago.” Mme a dira jalo. Moengele a re, “Apara seaparo sa gago o ntshale morago!”
Said (then *N(k)O*) the angel to him; (do dress yourself *N(K)O*) and do yourself put on the sandals of you. He did and so. And he says to him; do yourself wrap around the cloak of you and do follow me.
9 Mme Petere a tlogela ntlwana ya kgolegelo, a sala moengele morago. Mme ka nako yotlhe o ne a gopola gore ke toro kana ponatshegelo mme o ne a sa dumele gore tota go a direga.
And having gone forth he was following (him; *k*) and not did know that real is what is happening through the angel, he was thinking however a vision to see.
10 Ba ne ba feta ntlwana ya kgolegelo ya bobedi, mme ba tla fa kgorong ya tshipi fa mmileng, mme ya ba bulegela ka bo yone! ba feta ba tsamaya botlhe, mme moengele a mo tlogela.
Having passed through then a first guard and a second they came to the gate iron which is leading into the city, which by itself (opened *N(k)O*) to them, And having gone out they went on through street one and immediately departed the angel from him.
11 Mme kwa morago Petere a lemoga se se diragetseng; O ne a ithaya a re, “Ke boammaaruri! Morena o romile moengele wa gagwe ebile o mphaloditse mo go Herode le mo go se Bajuta ba neng ba ikemiseditse go se dira ka nna!”
And Peter to himself having come said; Now I know truly that has sent forth (the *no*) Lord the angel of Him and delivered me out of [the] hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Morago ga a itharabologelwa a ya kwa lwapeng lwa ga Marea, mmaagwe Johane Mareko, kwa ba le bantsi ba neng ba kgobokanetse thapelo teng.
Having considered [it] also he came to the house (*no*) of Mary the mother of John who is called Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
13 O ne a kokota fa setswalong, se se kwa ntle, mme mosetsana yo o bidiwang Roda a tla go bula.
When was knocking then (*k*) (he *N(K)O*) [at] the door of the gate came a girl to answer named Rhoda;
14 Erile fa a lemoga lentswe la ga Petere, a itumela thata mo a neng a tabogela mo teng go bolelela mongwe le mongwe gore Petere o eme kwa ntle mo mmileng.
And having recognized the voice of Peter from joy not she opened the gate having run in but she reported to have been standing Peter before the gate.
15 Ga ba a ka ba mo dumela. Ba ne ba re, “O a tsenwa,” mme erile a tlhomamisa ba re, “E tshwanetse ya bo e le moengele wa gagwe. (Ba tshwanetse ba bo ba mmolaile).”
And to her they said; You rave. But she was insisting [it] so to be. And they were saying; The angel it is of him.
16 Ka lobaka loo Petere ene o ne a tsweletse a kokota.
But Peter was continuing knocking; having opened [it] then they saw him and were amazed.
17 A ya kwa go bone a ba didimatsa mme a ba bolelela se se diragetseng le ka fa Morena a mo ntshitseng mo kgolegelong ka teng. Erile a tsamaya are, “Bolelelang Jakobe le ba bangwe se se diragetseng.”
Having made a sign then to them with the hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord him had brought out of the prison; He said (then; *N(k)O*) do report to James and to the brothers these things. And having gone out he went to another place.
18 Mme ya re fa bosigo boo sa, ga tsoga pheretlhego e kgolo kwa kgolegelong. Batlhabani ba botsanya gore Petere o ile kae?
When was coming now day there was disturbance no small among the soldiers what then [of] Peter has become.
19 Erile fa Herode a romela gore a Petere a ye go bidiwa mme a utlwa gotwe ga a yo, a laola gore batlhokomedi ba ba lesome le borataro ba tshwarwe, mme ba bolawe. Erile kwa morago a tsamaya go ya go nna kwa Kaesarea ka lobakanyana.
Herod then having sought after him and not having found [him] having examined the guards he commanded [them] to be led away [to death], And having gone down from Judea to (*k*) Caesarea he was staying [there].
20 Erile a ntse a le mo Kaesarea, ga tla barongwa ba ba neng ba tswa Ture le Sidoma ba tsile go mmona. Ga a ka a itumelela batho ba metse e mebedi eo, mme barongwa ba itsalanya le Belaseto, mokwaledi wa bogosi, ba bo ba kopa kagiso, gonne mo kgwebong, metse ya bone e ne e ikaegile thata mo lefatsheng la ga Herode.
He was now (*k*) (Herod *K*) furiously angry with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; with one accord then they were coming to him And having gained Blastus who [was] over the bedchamber of the king they were seeking peace, because of being nourished their region by the king’s.
21 Go ne ga dirwa tumalano ya go buisanya le Herode, mme erile fa letsatsi leo le tla, a apara diaparo tsa gagwe tsa bogosi, a nna mo setilong sa gagwe mme a bua nabo.
On the appointed now day Herod having put on apparel royal and having sat on the throne was making an address to them.
22 Mme erile kwa bokhutlong batho ba duduetsa ba re, “Ke lentswe la Modimo e seng la motho!”
And the people were crying out; Of a god [this is the] voice and not of a man!
23 Ka bonako, moengele wa Morena a otlhaya Herode ka bolwetse mo e leng gore o ne a jewa ke diboko a ntse a tshela mme a swa ka gonne o ne a amogela kobamelo ya batho go na le gore a galaletse Modimo.
Immediately then struck him an angel of [the] Lord in return for that not he gave the glory to God, and having been eaten by worms he breathed his last.
24 Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo a ne a anama ka bofefo mme go ne ga nna badumedi ba basha ba le bantsi.
But the word (of God *NK(O)*) was continuing to grow and was being multiplied.
25 Mme Barenabase le Paulo ba ne ba etela Jerusalema, mme ya re ba sena go fetsa tiro ya bone, ba boela kwa Antioka, ba tsaya Johane Mareko.
Barnabas then and Saul returned (to *N(K)O*) Jerusalem having fulfilled the mission, having taken with [them] (and *k*) John the [one] having been called Mark.
