Ditiro 18
1 Morago ga mo Paulo a tswa mo Athena a ya kwa Korintha.
After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 Mme koo a feta a tlwaelana le Mojuta yo o bidiwang Akwila, yo o tsaletsweng kwa Ponto, yo o neng a sa tswa go goroga a tswa kwa Itale le mosadi wa gagwe Peresila. Ba ne ba kobilwe mo Itale ka ntlha ya taolo ya ga Kalaodio Kaesarea ya gore Bajuta botlhe ba lelekwe mo Roma, Paulo o ne a nna nabo a ba a dira le bone, gonne e ne e le badiri ba megope (ditante) fela jaaka ene.
And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he came to them;
and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked; for they were tent-makers by trade.
4 Sabata mongwe le mongwe Paulo o ne a fetolana le batho mo tlung ya thuto, a leka go tlhalosetsa Bajuta le Bagerika.
And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath, and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
5 Mme erile Silase le Timotheo ba sena go goroga ba tswa kwa Masedonia, Paulo a dirisa nako ya gagwe yotlhe a rera ebile a bolelela Bajuta gore Jesu ke Mesia.
And when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Mme erile fa Bajuta ba mo ganetsa ba kgala se a se buang, ba tlhapatsa Jesu, Paulo a tlhotlhora lorole mo seaparong sa gagwe a re, “A madi a lona a nne mo ditlhogong tsa lona, nna ga ke na molato, go tloga gompieno ke tlaa rerela Badichaba.”
And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.
7 Morago ga moo o ne a nna le Tito Jeseto, Modichaba yo o neng a obamela Modimo a nna gaufi le ntlo ya thuto.
And he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near the synagogue.
8 Mme le fa go ntse jalo, Kerisepo, moeteledipele wa senagoge, le botlhe ba ntlo ya gagwe ba ne ba dumela mo Moreneng mme ba kolobediwa le Bakorintha ba le bantsi ba ba mo utlwileng ba dumela ba bo ba kolobediwa.
And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Bosigo bongwe Morena o ne a bua le Paulo ka ponatshegelo a re, “O seka wa boifa! Bua! Se didimale!
And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;
10 Gonne ke na le wena mme ga go na ope yo o ka go utlwisang botlhoko. Batho ba le bantsi mo motseng o ke ba me.”
for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.
11 Mme Paulo a nna moo ngwaga e e lateleng le sephatlo, a ruta boammaaruri jwa Modimo.
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Mme erile Galeo a nna molaodi wa Akaia, Bajuta ba tsogologela Paulo mme ba mo isa fa pele ga molaodi gore a sekisiwe.
And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,
13 Ba ne ba re, “Paulo o molato wa go raya batho a re ba obamele Modimo ka mekgwa e e leng gore e kgatlhanong le molao wa Ba-Roma.”
saying, This man persuadeth people to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Mme erile fela jaaka Paulo a simolola go ikarabela, Galeo a retologela kwa go ba ba pegang Paulo molato a re, “Reetsang, lona Bajuta ke lona, fa mo e ka bo e ne e le molato wa borukhutlhi, ke ne ke tlaa tlamega go lo reetsa,
And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some act of injustice or wicked misdeed, O Jews, with reason I should bear with you;
15 mme e re ka e le dipotso fela tse di mabapi le mafoko a lo a ipopetseng, le melao ya lona ya Sejuta ya boeleele, lo tlaa nna lo ipona. Ga ke na kgatlhego mo kgannyeng eo ebile ga ke e ame.”
but if it be questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.
16 Hong a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle ga ntlo ya tshekelo.
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 Mme batho ba tshwara Sosethenese, moeteledipele yo mosha wa tempele, mme ba mo iteela kwa ntle ga ntlo ya tshekelo! Mme Galeo ene o ne a sena sepe.
But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.
18 Mme Paulo o ne a nna mo motseng malatsi a le mantsinyana morago ga moo a sadisa Bakeresete sentle, a bo a tshwara mokoro a leba kwa Siria a tsamaya le Peresila le Akwila. Mme kwa Kenkerea Paulo o ne a ipeola ka ngwao ya Sejuta, ka gonne o ne a ikanne.
And Paul, having stayed many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Erile fa a goroga kwa boemelong jwa mekoro jwa Efeso, a ba tlogela mo mokorong a ya kwa tempeleng go buisanya le Bajuta.
And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Mme ba ne ba mo kopa go nna malatsi a se kae, mme a bona a sena nako epe e o ka e senyang nabo.
And when they asked him to stay longer, he consented not;
21 Mme a re, “Ke tshwanetse ka bo ke le kwa Jerusalema ka malatsi a boikhutso.” Mme o ne a solofetsa go boela kwa Efeso fa Modimo o mo letla; mme jalo a tswelela le loeto gape.
but having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Lefelo le le latelang le go neng ga engwa mo go lone e ne e le Kaesarea kwa o neng a etela phuthego [ya Jerusalema] go tswa foo a ya kwa Antioka.
And having landed at Caesarea and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 Morago ga sebaka koo, a tsamaya mo Galatia le mo Feregia a etela badumedi botlhe, a ba kgothatsa ebile a ba thusa go re ba gole mo Moreneng.
And after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the Galatian country and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Mme ka nako eo Mojuta mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Apolose, moruti le moreri wa Baebele yo o tumileng, e ne e le gone fela a gorogang mo Efeso a tswa kwa Alekesanderia mo Egepeto.
And a certain Jew, named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 Erile fa a sa ntse a le mo Egepeto, mongwe o ne a mmoleletse ka ga Johane wa Mokolobetsi le se Johane o se buileng ka ga Jesu, mme moo e ne e le gone fela mo a go itseng. O ne a ise a ke a utlwe polelo yotlhe!
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught correctly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 Jalo o ne a rera ka bopelokgale le ka botlhaga mo tlung ya thuto a re, “Mesia o e tla! Ipaakanyetseng go mo amogela!” Peresila le Akwila ba ne ba le teng mme ba mo utlwa, mme e ne e le thero e e nonofileng. Morago ga moo ba kopana nae mme ba mo tlhalosetsa se se diragaletseng Jesu go tloga ka nako ya ga Johane, le gore mo gotlhe go raya eng!
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way [[of the Lord]] more fully.
27 Mme Apolose o ne a kile a akanya go ya Gerika, badumedi le bone ba mo kgothatsa go dira jalo. Ba ne ba kwalela bakaulengwe ba bone koo, ba ba raya ba re ba mo amogele. Mme erile fa a goroga kwa Gerika, a dirisiwa ke Modimo go nonotsha Phuthego,
And when he wished to go over into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to give him welcome; and when he was come, he gave much aid to those who had believed through grace.
28 gonne o ne a ganetsa Bajuta mo pepeneneng a supa ka dikwalo gore Jesu ka boammaaruri ke Mesia.
For he publicly confuted the Jews, with power, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
