< Ditiro 14 >
1 Mme kwa Ikonio, Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba tsamaya mmogo ba ya kwa tempeleng mme ba rera ka nonofo e kgolo e Bajuta le Badichaba ba neng ba e dumela.
And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Mme Bajuta ba ba neng ba gana molaetsa wa Modimo ba feretlha Badichaba gore ba seka ba dumela Paulo le Barenabase, ba bua ka dilo di le dintsi tse di maswe ka bone.
But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren.
3 Mme le fa go ntse jalo, ba ne ba nna foo lobaka lo lo leele, ba rera ka bopelokgale, mme Morena a supa fa molaetsa wa bone o tswa kwa go ene ka go ba neela nonofo ya go dira dikgakgamatso tse di kgolo.
Long time therefore they tarried [there] speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Mme batho ba motse ba ne ba farologana ka maikutlo kaga banna ba. Bangwe ba ne ba dumalana le baeteledipele ba Sejuta mme ba bangwe ba dumalana le baaposetoloi.
But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 Mme erile fa Paulo le Barenabase ba lemoga leano la go tlhotlheletsa bontsi jwa Badichaba, Bajuta le baeteledipele ba Sejuta go ba tlhasela le go ba bolaya, ba ipoloka, ba ya kwa metseng ya Lukaonia, Lusetera, Derebe le mo tikologong,
And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,
they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:
7 mme ba rera Mafoko a a Molemo teng koo.
and there they preached the gospel.
8 Mme erile fa ba le kwa Lusetera, ba tla fa monneng yo o neng a golafetse dinao go tswa sebopelong sa ga mmaagwe, ebile a ise a ke a tsamaye.
And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 O ne a reeditse fa Paulo a rera, mme Paulo a mo lemoga mme a bona gore o na le tumelo ya go fodisiwa.
The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 Jalo Paulo a mmitsa a re, “Ema ka dinao!” Mme monna a tlola a ema ka dinao a simolola go tsamaya!
said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.
11 Mme erile boidiidi jo bo reeditseng bo bona se Paulo a se dirileng, ba goa (ka puo ya bone) ba re, “Banna ba ke medimo mo setshwanong sa motho!”
And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 Ba ne ba akanya gore Barenabase ene ke Modimo wa Segerika ebong Jupitere, mme Paulo, ka gonne e ne e le sebui se segolo, ke Merekuri.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Mme moperesiti wa Tempele ya Jupitere, e e agilweng ka kwa ntle ga motse, o ne a ba tlisetsa merwalo ya dithunya a bo a ba ntshetsa setlhabelo sa dikgomo kwa kgorong ya motse fa pele ga boidiidi jwa batho.
And the priest of Jupiter whose [temple] was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes.
14 Mme erile fa Paulo le Barenabase ba bona se se diragalang ba gagola diaparo tsa bone ka kutlo botlhoko mme ba ralala batho ba, ba goa ba re,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out
15 “Banna! Lo dirang? Re batho fela jaaka lona! Re tletse go lo neela Mafoko a a Molemo gore lo lalediwa go tlogela kobamelo ya dilo tsa bomatla mme mo boemong jwa moo go rapela Modimo o o tshelang one o o dirileng legodimo le lefatshe le lewatle le sengwe le sengwe se se mo go tsone.
and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
16 Mo malatsing a a fetileng Modimo o ne wa letla dichaba go tsaya ditsela tsa tsone,
who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 mme ga o ke o ne o tlhoka bosupi ja dilo tse di molemo tse o neng o di dira jaaka go lo nesetsa pula le dijalo tse di siameng le go lo fa dijo le boitumelo.”
And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba sa kgone go itsa batho go ba direla setlhabelo!
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.
19 Mme morago ga malatsinyana, Bajuta bangwe ba goroga ba tswa Antioka le Ikonio mme ba fetola boidiidi jwa batho gore bo nne babolai ba ba neng ba kgobotletsa Paulo ka matlapa ba mo gogela kwa ntle ga motse a bonala o ka re o sule.
But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Mme erile fa badumedi ba mo dikaganyetsa, a ema a tsena mo motseng! Letsatsi le le latelang a tsamaya le Barenabase ba ya Derebe.
But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Mme erile morago, ba sena go rera Mafoko a a Molemo teng koo, ba bo ba dira barutwa ba bantsi, ba boela gape kwa Lusetera, Ikonio le Antioka,
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
22 kwa ba neng ba thusa badumedi go tia mo loratong lwa Modimo le gore ba ratane. Ba ne ba ba kgothatsa go tsena mo Bogosing jwa Modimo ka dipogisego tse dintsi.
confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
23 Mme Paulo le Barenabase le bone ba tlhopha bagolwane mo phuthegong nngwe le nngwe ba ba rapelela ka go itima dijo, ba ba isa mo tlhokomelong ya Morena yo ba mo ikantseng.
And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 Mme ba ralala Pisidia go ya kwa Pamfilia,
And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.
25 ba rera gape mo Perega, mme ba tswelela ba ya kwa Atalia.
And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;
26 Mme la bofelo ba boela ka sekepe kwa Antioka, kwa loeto lwa bone lo simologileng teng, le kwa ba neng ba ineela mo Modimong mo tirong e jaanong e weditsweng.
and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Erile fa ba goroga ba bitsa badumedi mme ba bolela loeto lwa bone, ba bolela ka fa Modimo o buletseng le Badichaba tumelo ka teng.
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 Mme ba ne ba nna le badumedi kwa Antioka sebaka se seleele.
And they tarried no little time with the disciples.
