Ditiro 16
1 Paulo le Silase ba simolola pele ba ya kwa Derebe ba bo ba ya kwa Lusetera kwa ba neng ba kopana le Timotheo teng, modumedi yo mmaagwe e neng e le Mokeresete wa Mojuta, mme rraagwe e le Mogerika.
And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Timotheo o ne a kaiwa fa a le motho yo o siameng mo Lusetera le mo Ikonio,
The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Jalo Paulo a mo kopa go tsamaya nabo mo loetong lwa bone. Ka ntlha ya Bajuta ba Kgaolo eo, o ne a rupisa Timotheo pele ga ba tsamaya, gonne mongwe le mongwe o ne a itse gore rraagwe e ne e le Mogerika. (Mme o ne a ise a ke a letlelele selo seo pele).
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Mme ba tsena motse le motse, ba itsise mogopolo o kaga Badichaba, jaaka go ne go laotse baaposetoloi le bagolwane kwa Jerusalema.
And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Mme phuthego ya gola letsatsi le letsatsi mo tumelong le mo palong.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Mme morago ga moo ba ralala Feregia le Galatia, gonne Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne o ba boleletse gore ba seka ba tsena mo Asia.
And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
7 Mme erile ba tsamaya mo molelwaneng wa Misia ba leba kwa borwa kwa kgaolong ya Bithinia, mme gape Mowa wa ga Jesu wa gana.
and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
8 Mme mo boemong jwa moo ba tswelela ba tsena mo kgaolong ya Misia go ya kwa motseng wa Toroase.
and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Bosigo joo Paulo a bona ponatshegelo. Mo torong ya gagwe o ne a bona kwa Masedonia, Mogerika, a mo rapela a re, “Tla kwano o re thuse.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 Jalo mo ga siamisa kgang. Mme ba re, re tlaa ya kwa Masedonia, gonne re lemoga gore Modimo o re roma go ya go rera Mafoko a a Molemo teng.
And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Mme re ne ra palama mokoro kwa Toroase, ra tlhamalala ra kgabaganyetsa kwa Samatharase, mme letsatsi le le latelang ra ya Neapolise.
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 Mme la bofelo ra tsena mo Filipi, motse mogolo wa Ba-Roma fela mo teng ga molelwane wa Masedonia, ra nna teng malatsinyana.
and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
13 Ka letsatsi la Sabata, ra tsamaela kgakajana kwa ntle ga motse fa lotshitshing lwa noka kwa re neng re utlwaletse fa bangwe ba rakanela teng go rapela; mme re ne ra ruta basadi bangwe dikwalo ba ba neng ba tla.
And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.
14 Mongwe wa bone e ne e le Lidia, mosadi wa morekisi go tswa kwa Thiatira, mmapatsi wa letsela le le bohibidu jo bo mokgona. E ne e ntse e le morapedi wa Modimo gale, mme ya re a re reeditse, Morena a bula pelo ya gagwe mme a amogela gotlhe mo Paulo o neng a go bua.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 O ne a kolobediwa le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe a bo a re kopa go nna baeng ba gagwe. O ne a re, “Fa lo dumela gore ke a ikanyega mo Moreneng, tlang lo nne kwa tlung ya me.” Mme o ne a re kopa go fitlhela re dumela.
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 Letsatsi le lengwe fa re ya kwa felong ga thapelo fa thoko ga noka, ra kopana le mosetsana mongwe yo o neng a na le mewa e e maswe yo o neng a bolela dilo tsa boitseanape, a direla beng ba gagwe madi a mantsi.
And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
17 O ne a re sala morago a goa a re, “Banna ba ke batlhanka ba Modimo mme ba tsile go lo bolelela gore dibe tsa lona di ka itshwarelwa jang.”
The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
18 Mme mo go ne ga tswelela ka malatsi a le mantsi go fitlhela Paulo, ka go tshwenyega thata, a bo a tla a bua le mowa o o maswe o o mo go ene a re, “Ke a go laola ka leina la ga Jesu Keresete go tswa mo go ene,” ka bonakonyana wa mo tlogela.
And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Mme ditsholofetso tsa beng ba gagwe tsa khumo tsa fela; ba tshwara Paulo le Silase ba ba gogela fa pele ga baatlhodi kwa borekisetsong.
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
20 Mme ba ne ba re, “Bajuta ba, ba senya motse wa rona, ba ruta batho go dira dilo tse di kgatlhanong le melao ya Se-Roma.”
and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
22 Mme ka bonako batho ba nna kgatlhanong le Paulo le Silase, mme baatlhodi ba laola gore ba apolwe diaparo ba kgwathisiwe.
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
23 Ba ne ba itewa thata mo mekwatleng mme morago ba tsenngwa mo kgolegelong. Motlhokomedi wa kgolegelo o ne a solofediwa loso fa a ka ba lesa,
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 mme jalo ga a ka a tshameka fa a sena go laiwa, o ne a ba tsenya mo ntlwaneng e e kwa teng mme a bofelela maoto a bone mo disaneng.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Ka nako ya bosigogare, fa Paulo le Silase ba ntse ba rapela ba bile ba opelela Morena difela, magolegwa a mangwe a ne a reeditse,
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
26 ka tshoganetso ga nna thoromo e kgolo ya lefatshe; kgolegelo ya tshikinyega go ya go fitlha kwa motheong, ditswalo tsotlhe tsa kgolegelo tsa bulega, mme dikeetane tsotlhe tse di neng di bofile magolegwa tsa bofologa.
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 Mme erile fa motlhokomedi wa kgolegelo a tsoga a bona dikgoro tsa kgolegelo di bulegile, a gopola gore magolegwa a siile, mme a ntsha chaka ya gagwe a re o a ipolaya.
And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Mme Paulo a goa a re, “Se ipolaye re teng rotlhe!”
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Ka go tshoga thata, motlhokomedi wa magolegwa a laola gore dipone di tle mme a tabogela kwa ntlwaneng e e kwa teng a feta a wela fa pele ga ga Paulo le Silase.
And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 O ne a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle mme a ba kopa a re, “Barena, ke ka dirang gore ke bolokwe?”
and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Ba mohetola ba re, dumela mo go Morena Jesu mme o tlaa bolokwa, wena le bantlo ya gago.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 Mme ba ne ba mmolelela le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe mafoko a a molemo a a tswang kwa Moreneng.
And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
33 Ka yone nako eo a ba tlhatswa dintho mme ene le ba lwapa lwa gagwe ba kolobediwa.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
34 Mme a ba isa kwa tlung ya gagwe a ba fa dijo. Ene le bantlo ya gagwe ba ne ba ipela thata ka gonne botlhe jaanong e ne e le badumedi!
And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
35 Moso o o latelang baatlhodi ba romela mapodisi go bolelela motlhokomedi wa kgolegelo jaana, “Tlogela banna bao ba tsamaye!”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 Mme motlhokomedi o ne a bolelela Paulo gore ba golotswe.
And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
37 Mme Paulo a fetola a re, “Nnyaa, ga ba ka ke! Ba re iteile fa pele ga batho kwa ntle ga go sekisiwa, ba bo ba re tsenya mo kgolegelong le gone re baagi ba Roma! Jaanong ba batla gore re tsamaye ka sephiri? Ga go nne jalo! A go tle bone ba tle go re golola!”
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Mme barongwa ba mapodisi ba ya go bolelela baatlhodi ba ba neng ba boifa thata fa ba utlwa gore Paulo le Silase ke Ba-Roma.
And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;
39 Mme jalo ba tla fa kgolegelong ba ba kopa gore ba tsamaye, ba ba ntshetsa kwa ntle ba kopa gore ba tswe mo motseng.
and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
40 Mme Paulo le Silase ba boela kwa tlung ya ga Lidia kwa ba neng ba kopana le badumedi mme ba ba rerela gape pele ga ba tswa mo motseng.
And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
