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 came to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father;
2 Timotheo o ne a kaiwa fa a le motho yo o siameng mo Lusetera le mo Ikonio,
who had an honorable character given by the brethren in 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 Paul would have to go forth with him: and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father, that he 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 passed through the cities, they delivered to their custody the decrees, which were determined by the Apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Mme phuthego ya gola letsatsi le letsatsi mo tumelong le mo palong.
The congregations, therefore, were confirmed 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 Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and being forbidden by 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.
when they were come to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia; but the spirit did not permit them.
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 went 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 stood a certain Macedonia, entreating him, and saying, Come over to 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 as soon as he had seen this vision, we immediately endeavored to go to Macedonia; assuredly inferring, that the Lord had called us to declare the gospel to 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 ran directly to Samothracia; and the next day 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 came thence to Philippi, which is a city of the first part of Macedonia, a colony: and we continued in this city for some 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 out of the city to the side of the river, according to the custom, where was an oratory; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled there.
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, a worshiper of God, heard the discourse: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to 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 immersed, with her family, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house, and continue there. And she compelled 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.
Now it came to pass, that as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of divination, who brought her owners much gain by prophesying:
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, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who declare to 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 several days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And it went 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 owners saw that the hope of their gain was gone; laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market place, to the magistrates:
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 having brought them to the generals of the army, they said, These men, who are Jews, mightily disturb our city;
and teach customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and practice, 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 populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten 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 strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured 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 at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard 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, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners 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, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled.
28 Mme Paulo a goa a re, “Se ipolaye re teng rotlhe!”
But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself 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 sprung in; and, being in a tremor, 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, bringing them out, he said, O 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 in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.
32 Mme ba ne ba mmolelela le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe mafoko a a molemo a a tswang kwa Moreneng.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to 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 taking them, that very hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was immediately immersed, himself, and all his.
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 having brought them into his house, he spread the table before them: and believing in the God, with all his house, he was transported with joy.
35 Moso o o latelang baatlhodi ba romela mapodisi go bolelela motlhokomedi wa kgolegelo jaana, “Tlogela banna bao ba tsamaye!”
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those men.
36 Mme motlhokomedi o ne a bolelela Paulo gore ba golotswe.
And the keeper of the prison told these things to Paul, The generals have sent that you may be dismissed; now, therefore, go out, and pursue your journey 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 to them, They have beaten us, who are Romans, publicly and uncondemned, and have cast us into prison; and do they now thrust us out privately? By no means: but let them come themselves, and conduct 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 sergeants reported these words to the generals. And when they had heard that they were Romans, they were afraid:
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 comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart 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 coming out of the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
