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.
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude of both Jews and 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 who refused to believe stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles to be against the brothers.
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.
So Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the message of his grace by 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 population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were 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 an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and stone them,
Paul and Barnabas became aware of it and fled for refuge to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region.
7 mme ba rera Mafoko a a Molemo teng koo.
There they continued to preach 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.
Now there was a man sitting in Lystra who could not use his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb and 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 man listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked at him intently, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,
10 Jalo Paulo a mmitsa a re, “Ema ka dinao!” Mme monna a tlola a ema ka dinao a simolola go tsamaya!
he said with a loud voice, “Stand up on yoʋr feet!” So the man leaped up and began to walk.
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!”
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have 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.
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, since he was the one who took the lead in speaking.
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.
Then the priest of the shrine of Zeus that was located in front of their city brought bulls and garlands to the city gates, intending to offer sacrifices together with the crowds.
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 about it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, 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.
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
16 Mo malatsing a a fetileng Modimo o ne wa letla dichaba go tsaya ditsela tsa tsone,
In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own way,
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.”
although he did not leave himself without a witness in that he did good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our 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!
Yet even by saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifices 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.
Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the crowds. 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 when the disciples gathered around him, he rose and entered the city. The next day he went on 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,
After preaching the gospel in that city and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and 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.
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through many tribulations we must enter 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 elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.
24 Mme ba ralala Pisidia go ya kwa Pamfilia,
After passing through Pisidia, they 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.
From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.
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.
After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Mme ba ne ba nna le badumedi kwa Antioka sebaka se seleele.
And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.
