Ditiro 13
1 Mo baporofiting le mo baruting ba phuthego kwa Antioka go ne go le Barenabase le Simeone (yo gape o neng a bidiwa “Monna Montsho”), le Lukio (wa Kurene), le Manaene (yo o otletsweng gongwe le Kgosi Herode), le Saulo.
But there were in the church of Antiokia prophets and teachers, Bar Naba and Shemun who was called Niger, and Lukios who was from the city of Kyrene, and Manael, a fosterbrother of Herodes Tetrarka, and Shaol.
2 Letsatsi lengwe banna ba, ba ntse ba rapela ba bile ba itimile dijo, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa re, “Ntomololelang Barenabase le Saulo go dira tiro e e tlhophegileng e ke e ba bileditseng.”
And as they fasted and supplicated Aloha, the Spirit of Holiness said to them, Separate to me Shaol and Bar Naba for the work to which I have called them.
3 Mme morago ga go itima dijo le go rapela, ba ba baya diatla, mme ba ba naya tsela.
And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid upon them the hand, and dismissed them.
4 Mme ya re ka go gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo ba ya kwa Seleukia ba bo ba ya kwa Kupero.
And they, being sent by the Spirit of Holiness, went down to Selukia, and from thence proceeded by sea to Cyprus.
5 Mme mo motseng wa Salamise, ba ne ba ya kwa tlung ya thuto ya Sejuta ba rera. (Johane Mareko o ne a tsamaya le bone e le mothusi wa bone).
And when they had entered the city Salamina, they preached the word of our Lord in the congregations of the Jihudoyee, and Juhanon ministered to them.
6 Morago ba rera mo motseng mongwe le mongwe go kgabaganya setlhaketlhake sotlhe go fitlhelela ba tsena mo Pafosa kwa ba neng ba kopana teng le moloi wa Mojuta, moporofiti wa tsietso yo o neng a bidiwa Barajesu. O ne a ikgolagantse le molaodi Seregio Paulo, yo e neng e le motho yo o tlhaloganyang thata. Molaodi a laletsa Barenabase le Saulo go mo etela, gonne o ne a batla go utlwa molaetsa wa bone o o neng o tswa kwa Modimong.
And when they had itinerated through the whole island unto the city Paphos, they found a man, a certain sorcerer, a Jihudoya, who was a false prophet, whose name was Bar Shuma.
This adhered to a wise man who was proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulos. And the proconsul called Shaol and Bar Naba and requested to hear from them the word of Aloha.
8 Mme Elemase (leina la gagwe ka Segerika), wa moloi a leka go faposa le go tlhotlheletsa gore molaodi a seka a reetsa se Saulo le Barenabase ba neng ba se bua, a leka go mo dira gore a seka a ikanya Morena.
But this sorcerer, Bar Shuma, whose name interpreted is Elymos, stood against them, because he desired to avert the proconsul from faith.
9 Mme Saulo ka a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo, a leba moloi ka bogale mme a re,
But Shaol, he who is called PAULOS, was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and beheld him,
10 “Morwa diabolo ke wena, o tletse mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa go tsietsa le bolotsana, mmaba wa sengwe le sengwe se se siameng, a ga o kitla o khutlisa go ganetsa Morena?
and said, O full of all deceits and all wickednesses, thou son of the devil, and adversary of all righteousness, ceasest thou not to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Mme Modimo gompieno o beile seatla sa one sa kwatlhao mo go wena, mme o tlaa foufala ka lobakanyana.” Ka bonako ga nna mouwane le lefifi mo go ene, mme a simolola go tsamaya a kopa mongwe gore a mo tshware ka letsogo a mo goge.
And now the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not see the sun until the time. And in the hour there fell upon him obscurity and darkness, and he went about asking some one to hold him by the hand.
12 Mme erile molaodi a bona se se diragetseng a dumela mme a hakgamalela nonofo ya molaetsa wa Modimo.
But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Mme Paulo le ba o neng a na nabo ba tloga mo Pafosa ka sekepe ba ya Perega, wa Pamfilia. Mme Johane a ba ngwegela a boela Jerusalema.
BUT Paulos and Bar Naba went on by sea from the City Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia; and Juhanon separated from them, and went to Urishlem.
14 Mme Barenabase le Paulo ba ne ba ya Antioka, motse o o neng o le mo kgaolong ya Pisidia. Ka letsatsi la Sabata ba ne ba tsena mo tlung ya thuto go tshwara tirelo-Modimo.
But they went forth from Perga, and came to Antiokia, the city of Pisidia. And they entered the synagogue, and sat on the day of shabath.
15 Mme morago ga go balwa mo go tlwaelesegileng ga Dikwalo tsa ga Moshe le tsa Baporofiti, bagolwane ba ntlo ya thuto ba ba romelela molaetsa o: “Bakaulengwe, fa lo na le lefoko la tao mo go rona, tlang lo le bue!”
And after the law and the prophets had been read, the presbyters of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Men, brethren, have you a word of exhortation to say to the people?
16 Mme Paulo a ema, a dumedisa mme a simolola a re, “Bana ba Iseraele, le botlhe ba ba fano ba ba tlotlang Modimo, [mmang ke simolole se ke se buang ka go lo bolelela ditso di se kae].
And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them:
17 “Modimo wa chaba e, ya Iseraele o tlhophile bo rraa-ronamogolwagolwane mme wa ba tlotla mo Egepeto ka go ba ntsha ka kgalalelo mo botlhankeng jwa bone.
Men, sons of Israel, and those who fear Aloha, hearken! The God of this people elected our fathers, and exalted and magnified them, when they were sojourners in the land of Metsreen, and with uplifted arm brought them out therefrom
18 “Mme wa ba tlhokomela mo go tsamayeng ga bone mo sekakeng ka dingwaga di le masome mane.
And he nourished them in the desert forty years.
19 Mme wa senya dichaba di supa mo Kanana, mme wa neela Iseraele lefatshe la bone e le boswa. Baatlhodi ba busitse ka lobaka lo e neng e ka nna dingwaga di le makgolo a mane le masome a matlhano, mme ba ne ba salwa morago ke Samuele wa moporofiti.
And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. And four hundred and fifty years
he gave them judges, until Shamuel the prophet;
21 “Mme batho ba kopa gore ba nne le kgosi, mme Modimo wa ba neela Saulo (morwa Kishe), monna wa lotso lwa ga Benjamine, yo o neng a busa ka dingwaga di le masome a mane.
and then prayed they for themselves a king; and Aloha gave to them Shaol-bar-Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.
22 “Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Modimo wa mo tlosa wa tlhoma Dafide go nna kgosi mo maemong a gagwe, monna yo Modimo o neng wa re ka ga gagwe, ‘Dafide (morwa Jese) monna yo pelo yame e mo itumelelang thata, yo o tlaa dirang go rata ga me gotlhe.’
And he took him, and raised unto them David the king, and testified of him, and said, I have found David, the son of Jeshai, a man according to my heart; he will perform all my will.
23 Go tswa mo losikeng lwa monna yo, Modimo o ne wa tlisetsa Iseraele Mmoloki, ebong Jesu, fela jaaka o solofeditse.
From the seed of this (man) the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer.
24 Mme pele ga a goroga, Johane wa Mokolobetsi o ne a rera botlhokwa jwa gore mongwe le mongwe mo Iseraele a sokologe mo dibeng le go boela mo Modimong.
And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel.
25 Mme erile fa Johane a fetsa tiro ya gagwe a botsa a re, ‘A lo akanya gore ke Mesia? Nnyaa! Ene o e tla ka bonako, mme mo go ene ga ke sepe!’
And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose.
26 “Bakaulengwe, lona bomorwa Aberahame, le lona lotlhe Badichaba ba lo tlotlang Modimo, poloko e ke ya rona rotlhe!
MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life.
27 Bajuta mo Jerusalema le baeteledipele ba bone ba diragaditse seporofeso ka go bolaya Jesu, gonne ba ne ba sa mo lemoge, kgotsa ba sa itse gore ke ene yo baporofiti ba neng ba kwadile ka ga gagwe, le fa ba ne ba utlwa mafoko a baporofiti a balwa Sabata mongwe le mongwe.
For they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written.
28 Mme ba ne ba tlhoka mabaka a a utlwalang go mmolaya, mme ba kopa Pilatwe gore a ba letle gore ba bolaye Jesu.
And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him.
29 Mme erile ba sena go diragatsa seporofeso sotlhe ka ga loso lwa gagwe, o ne a pagololwa mo sefapanong mme a tsenngwa mo lebitleng.
And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 “Mme Modimo wa mo tsosa gape! mo losong.
But Aloha raised him from among the dead.
31 Mme o ne a bonwa gantsi mo malatsing a makhutshwane a a latelang ke banna ba ba neng ba na nae go tswa Galalea go ya Jerusalema, banna ba ba neng ba sa bolo go nna ba bolela ka gale mo phatlalatseng.
And he was seen days many by those who had come up with him from Galila to Urishlem, and they are now his witnesses unto the people.
32 “Mme jaanong Barenabase le nna re fano go lo tlisetsa Mafoko a a Molemo a, gore tsholofetso ya Modimo mo go borraetsho-mogolo e diragaditswe mo dinakong tsa rona, ka go tsosa Jesu mo losong gape. Se ke sone se Pesalema ya bobedi e buang kaga sone fa e bua kaga Jesu e re, ‘Gompieno ke go tlotlile jaaka Morwaake.’
And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our fathers,
behold, Aloha hath fulfilled it to their children, (in) that he hath raised up Jeshu; as it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son; This day have I begotten thee.
34 “Gonne Modimo o ne o solofeditse go mo rudisa gape, a se kitla a tlhola a a swa gape. Mo go kwadilwe mo lokwalong lo lo reng, ‘Ke tlaa lo direla dilo tse di hakgamatsang tse ke di solofeditseng Dafide.’
And thus did Aloha raise him from among the dead, that again he should not return thither to see corruption; as he had said, I will give you the sure grace of David.
35 “Mo Pesalemeng e nngwe o tlhalositse thata a re, ‘Modimo ga o kitla o letla gore yo o Boitshepo wa one a bole.’
And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption.
36 Mo go ne go sa reye Dafide, gonne erile Dafide a sena go direla dikokomana tsa gagwe ka fa go rateng ga Modimo, o ne a swa mme a fitlhwa, mme mmele wa gagwe wa bola.
For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 [Nnyaa, go ne go raya yo mongwe], mongwe yo Modimo o mo rudisitseng, yo mmele wa gagwe o iseng o ke o tshwarwe ke tshenyego ya loso.
But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption.
38 “Bakaulengwe! Reetsang! Mo monneng yo ebong Jesu, go na le boitshwarelo jwa dibe tsa lona!
Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins;
39 Mme mongwe le mongwe yo o mo ikanyang o golotswe mo melatong yotlhe le gone o siame, sengwe se molao wa Sejuta o neng o sa kake wa se dira.
and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.
40 Mme jaanong itlhokomeleng! Se direng gore mafoko a baporofiti a reye lona. Gonne ba re,
Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written in the prophets:
41 ‘Lebang mme lo nyelele, lona banyatsi ba boammaaruri, gonne ke dira sengwe mo lobakeng lwa lona, sengwe se lo se ka keng lwa se dumela fa lo utlwa se bolelwa.’”
Behold, despisers, and wonder, and perish: For a work I work in your days Which you will not believe if one should declare it to you.
42 Mme erile batho ba tswa mo tlung ya thuto ka letsatsi leo, ba kopa Paulo go boa a ya go bua le bone beke e e latelang.
And when they had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words.
43 Mme Bajuta ba le bantsi le Badichaba ba badumedi ba ba neng ba rapela kwa tlung ya thuto ba sala Paulo le Barenabase morago mo mmileng mme bone ba ba tlhotlheletsa go amogela kutlwelobotlhoko e Modimo o e ba nayang.
And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed (with) and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha.
44 Beke e e latelang motse otlhe wa batla go tla go ba utlwa ba rera Lefoko la Modimo.
AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.
45 Mme erile fa Bajuta ba baeteledipele ba bona bontsintsi jwa batho ba tlala lefufa, mme ba hutsa ba bo ba ganetsa se Paulo o neng a se bua.
And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed.
46 Mme Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba bua ka bopelokgale ba re, “Go ne go tlhokega gore Mafoko a a Molemo a a tswang kwa Modimong a tshwanetse go neelwa lona Bajuta pele. Mme ka gobo lo a ganne, lwa ba lwa itshupa fa lo sa tshwanela botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, go siame re tlaa bo neela Badichaba. (aiōnios g166)
But Paulos and Bar Naba said to them openly, To you it behoved first to speak the word of Aloha; but because you repel it from you, and determine against yourselves that you are not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Gonne se ke se Morena o se laotseng fa a re, Ke lo dirile lesedi mo go badichaba, go ba goga mo khutlong tse di kgakala tsa lefatshe go ba tlisa mo polokong ya me.”
For so hath our Lord commanded, as it is written, I have set thee a light to the Gentiles, To be for salvation to the ends of the earth.
48 Mme erile Badichaba ba utlwa se, ba itumela thata mme ba ipelela molaetsa wa ga Paulo; ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba batla botshelo jo bo sa khutleng, ba dumela. (aiōnios g166)
And when the Gentiles heard, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposed unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
49 Mme molaetsa wa Modimo wa gasama mo kgaolong eo yotlhe.
And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region.
50 Mme baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba feretlha badumedi ba basadi ba ba boifang Modimo ga mmogo le baeteledipele ba motse mme ba tlhotlheletsa boidiidi jwa batho go nna kgatlhanong le Paulo le Barenabase, mme ba ba kobela kwa ntle ga motse.
But the Jihudoyee excited the principal men of the city and rich women, who with them feared Aloha, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Bar Naba, and cast them out from their bounds.
51 Mme ba ne ba itlhotlhora lorole mo dinaong tsa bone go supa go nna kgatlhanong le motse o, mme ba ya kwa motseng wa Ikonio.
And as they went forth, they shook off against them the dust of their feet; and they came to Ikanon, a city.
52 Mme ba ba ba sokolotseng ba tlala boitumelo le Mowa O O Boitshepo.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.
