< 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 they came and entered into the synagogue of the Jihudoyee, and so spake with them as that many believed of Jihudoyee and of Javanoyee.
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 Jihudoyee, of those who were not persuaded, excited the Gentiles to ill-treat 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.
But they much time were there, and openly discoursed concerning the Lord; and He testified of the word of his grace by the signs and the wonders which he wrought 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.
And all the society of the city was divided: of them some were with the Jihudoyee, and of them (some) adhered to 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,
But there was made a movement by the Gentiles and by the Jihudoyee and their chiefs to maltreat them, and to crush them with stones.
6
And when they knew, they passed away, and escaped to the cities of Lykania, Lystra, and Derbe, and the villages which surround them,
7 mme ba rera Mafoko a a Molemo teng koo.
and there evangelized.
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 a certain man dwelt in the city of Lystra who was afflicted in his feet, lame from the womb of his mother, (and) who had never 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.
This heard Paulos discourse. And when Paulos saw him, and knew that there was faith in him to be saved,
10 Jalo Paulo a mmitsa a re, “Ema ka dinao!” Mme monna a tlola a ema ka dinao a simolola go tsamaya!
he said to him with a high voice, To thee I say, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, Stand upon thy feet.
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 leaping, he stood and walked. And the assembly of the people, when they saw what Paulos had done, lifted up their voice in the language of the country, and said, Gods in the likeness of men have come down unto us.
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 named Bar Naba, lord of the gods; and Paulos, Hermis, because he was foremost in discourse.
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 the lord of the gods, who was without the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates of the court of the place where they dwelt, and willed to sacrifice to them.
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 Bar Naba and Paulos, when they heard, rent their garments, and sprang up, and came out to the crowd. And they cried,
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 said, Men, what do you? We also are children of men liable to sufferings like you, (and) who preach to you that from these vanities you should turn unto Aloha the living, who made heaven and earth, and the seas, and all that is in them:
16 Mo malatsing a a fetileng Modimo o ne wa letla dichaba go tsaya ditsela tsa tsone,
who in former generations left all nations to walk in ways of their own;
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.”
yet leaving not himself without witness, while he did them good from heaven, and sent down rain, and multiplied the fruits in their times, and filled with food and gladness their hearts.
18 Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba sa kgone go itsa batho go ba direla setlhabelo!
And when these they had said, they scarcely restrained the people that some one should not sacrifice to 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 thither Jihudoyee from Ikanon and from Antiokia, and stirred up against them the people; and they stoned Paulos, and dragged him out of the city, because they thought 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.
And the disciples gathered to him, and, arising, he entered the city. AND the day after he went forth from thence with Bar Naba, and came to Derbe the city.
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 to the sons of the city, they discipled many. And they returned and came to Lystra the city, and to Ikanon, and to Antiokia,
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, and exhorting them to persevere in the faith. And they said to them, that through much tribulation it behoveth to enter the kingdom of Aloha.
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 they constituted for them in all the churches presbyters, having fasted with them and prayed, and commended them to our Lord in whom they had believed.
24 Mme ba ralala Pisidia go ya kwa Pamfilia,
And when they had gone through the country of Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,
25 ba rera gape mo Perega, mme ba tswelela ba ya kwa Atalia.
and when they had preached in the city Perga the word of the Lord, they went down to Atalia,
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 from thence voyaged by sea and came to Antiokia, because from thence they had been commended to the grace of the Lord for the work which they had accomplished.
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 all the church had convened, they recounted every thing which Aloha had done with them, and that he had opened the door of the faith unto the Gentiles.
28 Mme ba ne ba nna le badumedi kwa Antioka sebaka se seleele.
And much time were they there with the disciples.
