Ditiro 19
1 Mme erile Apolose a santse a le mo Kontha, Paulo a ralala ntlheng ya godimo mme a goroga kwa Efeso, kwa o neng a fitlhela teng barutwa ba le bantsinyana.
It came to pass now while Apollos being in Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper parts (to come down *N(k)O*) to Ephesus and (finding *N(k)O*) certain disciples
2 One a ba botsa a re, “A lo ne lwa amogela Mowa O O Boitshepo fa lo dumela?” Mme ba fetola ba re, “Nnyaa, ga re itse gore o rayang. Mowa O O Boitshepo ke eng?”
he said (also *no*) to them; If [the] Spirit Holy did you receive having believed? And (they said *k*) to him; But not even that [a] Spirit Holy there is did we hear.
3 Mme Paulo a ba botsa a re, “Lo kolobeditswe ka kolobetso e e ntseng jang?” Mme ba araba ba re, “Kolobetso ya ga Johane?”
He said then (to them: *k*) Into what then were you baptized? And they said; Into John's baptism.
4 Mme Paulo a ba bolelela gore kolobetso ya ga Johane e ne e le go supa keletso ya go sokologa mo sebeng go ya kwa Modimong le gore ba ba amogelang kolobetso ya gagwe ba tshwanetse go tswelela ba dumela mo go Jesu, yo Johane o neng a bolela gore o tlaa tla.
Said then Paul; John (indeed *k*) baptized a baptism of repentance to the people telling about the [One] coming after him that they may believe, That is in (Christ *K*) Jesus.
5 Erile fela jaaka ba utlwa a bua jaana, ba kolobediwa mo leineng la Morena Jesu.
Having heard then they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 Erile fa Paulo a ba baya diatla, Mowa O O Boitshepo wa fologela mo go bone, mme ba bua dipuo di sele ba bo ba porofesa.
And when was laying on them Paul the hands came the Spirit Holy upon them, they were speaking then in tongues and were prophesying.
7 E ne e ka nna banna ba le lesome le bobedi
There were then the in all men about (twelve. *N(k)O*)
8 Mme Paulo o ne a ya kwa tlung ya thuto a rera ka bopelokgale Sabata mongwe le mongwe mo dikgweding tse tharo, a bolela se a se dumetseng le gore ke ka ntlha yang fa a ne a dumela, ebile a tlhotlheletsa ba le bantsi gore ba dumele mo go Jesu.
Having entered then into the synagogue he was speaking boldly for months three reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
9 Mme bangwe ba ne ba gana molaetsa wa gagwe mme ba bua mo pepeneneng kgatlhanong le Keresete, mme a tsamaya, a gana go ba rerela gape. Mme a tswa le badumedi, mme a simolola kopano e nngwe gape mo tlung ya ga Turano mme a rapela koo letsatsi le letsatsi.
When however some were hardened and they were disbelieving speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having departed from them he took separately the disciples every day reasoning in the lecture hall of Tyrannus (a certain. *k*)
10 Mo go ne ga tswelela dingwaga di le pedi, mo e leng gore mongwe le mongwe mo kgaolong ya Asia ebong Bajuta le Bagerika, ba ne ba utlwa molaetsa wa Morena.
This then continued for years two, so that all those inhabiting Asia hearing the word of the Lord (Jesus *K*) Jews both and Greeks.
11 Mme Modimo wa naya Paulo nonofo ya go dira dikgakgamatso tse di sa tlwaelesegang,
Miracles then not being ordinary God was doing through the hands of Paul,
12 mo e leng gore e ne e re fa diiphimolo (disakatuku) tsa gagwe kgotsa diaparo tsa gagwe di bewa mo balwetseng, ba fole, le mewa e e maswe e e neng e le mo go bone e tswe.
so that even to the ailing (carrying *NK(O)*) from the skin of him handkerchiefs or aprons and departing from them the diseases the also spirits evil (coming out *N(k)O*) (from *k*) (of them. *K*)
13 Mme setlhopha sengwe sa Bajuta ba ba neng ba tsena motse le motse ba ntsha mewa e e maswe, ba ne ba loga leano la go leka go dirisa leina la ga Jesu Keresete. Se ba neng ba se akantse e ne e le gore ba tlaa bua ba re, “Ke a go laola ka Jesu yo Paulo o mo rerang gore o tswele kwa ntle!”
Attempted now some of (also *N(k)O*) of the itinerant Jewish exorcists to invoke over those having spirits evil the name of the Lord Jesus saying; (I adjure *N(K)O*) you [by] Jesus whom (*k*) Paul proclaims.
14 Bo-morwa Sekefa moperesiti wa Mojuta, ba supa, ba ne ba dira jalo.
They were now (of a certain *N(k)O*) of Sceva a Jewish a high priest seven (*k*) sons this were doing.
15 Mme erile ba lekeletsa mo monneng yo o nang le mowa o o maswe wa fetola wa re, “Ke itse Jesu ebile ke itse Paulo, mme lona lo bo mang?”
Answering however the spirit evil said (to them: *no*) (indeed *no*) Jesus I know and Paul I am acquainted with; you yourselves however who are you?
16 Mme a tlolela bangwe ba bone ba le babedi a ba betsa mo ba neng ba siela kwa ntle ga ntlo ya gagwe ba sa ikatega ebile ba bolaisegile thata.
And (having leapt *N(k)O*) the man upon them in whom was the spirit evil, (and *k*) (having overpowered *NK(o)*) (them all *N(K)O*) he prevailed against them so that naked and wounded fleeing out of the house that.
17 Polelo ya se se diragetseng ya anama ka bonako mo motseng otlhe wa Efeso, mo Bajuteng le mo Bagerikeng ka go tshwana, ga nna poifo e kgolo mo motseng, mme leina la Morena Jesu la tlotlwa thata.
This now became known to all Jews both also to Greeks who inhabiting Ephesus and (fell *NK(o)*) fear upon all them and was being magnified the name of the Lord Jesus,
18 Badumedi ba le bantsi ba ba neng ba dirisa maselamose ba ipolela ditshiamololo tsa bone ba tlisa dikwalo tsa bone tsa boloi le melemo e ba e dirisang ba di tshuba ka molelo mo pepeneneng. (Mongwe a akanyetsa tlhwatlhwa ya dikwalo tseo go ka nna dipula di le dikete tse di masome matlhano).
Many then of those having believed were coming confessing and declaring the deeds of them.
Many now of those the magic arts having practiced having brought together the books were burning [them] before all; And they counted up the prices of them and found [it] of silverlings myriads five.
20 Mo go ne go supa gore kgaolo yotlhe e ne e amilwe ke molaetsa wa Modimo go le kae.
thus with might of the Lord the word was continuing to increase and was prevailing.
21 Morago ga moo Paulo a utlwa a gogwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo go ya kwa Gerika pele ga a boela Jerusalema. O ne a re, “Morago ga moo ke tshwanetse go ya kwa Roma!”
After now were fulfilled these things, purposed Paul in the Spirit having passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem having said that After being me there, it behooves me also Rome to see.
22 O ne a romela bathusi ba gagwe ba le babedi, Timotheo le Eraseto, gore ba tsamaele pele go ya Masedonia fa a sa ntse a setse lobakanyana mo Asia.
Having sent then into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
23 Mme ka nako eo, go ne ga nna pheretlhego e kgolo mo Efeso kaga Bakeresete.
Arose now at the time same a disturbance not small concerning the Way.
24 E ne ya simologa ka Demeterio, mothudi wa tshipi tsa selefera yo o neng a hirile babetli ba le bantsi go dira ditempelana tsa selefera tsa ga Diana, modimo wa sesadi wa Segerika.
Demetrius for a certain [man] named, a silversmith making shrines silver of Artemis, was bringing to the craftsmen no little business
25 O ne a bitsa phuthego ya banna ba gagwe, le ba bangwe ba ba hirilweng mo ditirong tse di boletsweng, mme a ba bolelela jaana: “Borra, tiro e ke yone re amogelang ka yone.
whom having brought together also the in such things Workmen he said; Men, you know that from this business the wealth (of us *N(k)O*) is,
26 Jaaka lo itse sentle mo go se lo se bonyeng le se lo se utlwileng, monna yo, Paulo, o tlhotlheleditse batho ba le bantsintsi gore medimo e e itirelwang ga se medimo gotlhelele. Ka ntlha ya moo, theko ya dilo tsa rona e ya kwa tlase! Mme mo ga go bonale fela mo Efeso, go mo tikologong yotlhe ya kgaolo!
And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but almost in all of Asia Paul this having persuaded [them] he has turned away a great many people saying that not they are gods through hands being made.
27 Mme ruri, ga ke bue fela ka theko le thekiso mo seemong se, le kaga tatlhegelo ka fa re neng re ntse re boelwa ka teng, mme le gore go ka diragala gore tempele ya ga Diana modimo wa sesadi o mogolo e latlhegelwe ke tlotlo, mme Diana, modimo o montlentle o, o o sa obamelweng fela ke tikologo yotlhe ya Asia mme o obamelwa ke lefatshe lotlhe, o lebalwe!”
Not only but this is endangered to us the business into disrepute to come but also the of the great goddess Artemis temple as no [thing] to be reckoned, to be (and *N(k)O*) also deposing (the majesty *N(k)O*) of her whom all Asia and the world worship.
28 Erile fa ba utlwa jaana, ba galefa thata mme ba simolola go goa ba re, “Go mogolo Diana wa Baefesia!”
Having heard then and having become full of rage they were crying out saying; Great [is] Artemis of [the] Ephesians.
29 Bontsi jo bogolo jwa batho jwa simolola go phuthega mme ka bofefo motse wa tlala pheretlhego. Mongwe le mongwe a tabogela kwa kagong ya botshamekelo, ba swaswaila Gaio le Arisetareko, bapati ba ga Paulo go ya go sekisiwa.
And was filled the city (all *K*) with confusion; they rushed and with one accord to the theatre having dragged off Gaius and Aristarchus Macedonians, fellow travelers (*k*) of Paul.
30 Paulo o ne a batla go tsena, mme barutwa ba ne ba se ka ba mo letla.
(*k*) Paul however intending to go in to the people not were allowing him the disciples;
31 Mme bangwe balaodi ba Baroma ba kgaolo e, ditsala tsa ga Paulo, le bone ba ne ba romela molaetsa kwa go ene, ba mo kopa gore a seka a ba a tshameka ka botshelo jwa gagwe ka go tsena mo tlung ya botshamekelo.
Some then also of the Asiarchs being to him friends, having sent to him they were urging [him] not to venture himself into the theatre.
32 Mo teng, batho botlhe ba ne ba goa, ba tsositse modumo, mongwe a bua sele yo mongwe le ene a bua sele, sengwe le sengwe se ne se tlhakatlhakanye. Tota bontsi jwa bone bo ne bo sa itse gore bo tletse eng foo.
Others indeed therefore some thing were crying out; was for the assembly confused, and most not did know for what cause they had assembled.
33 Mme Alekesandere o ne a lemogwa mo boidiiding ke Bajuta bangwe mme ba mo gogela fa pele. O ne a gwetlha ka seatla gore go didimalwe mme a leka go bua.
Out of now the crowd (brought forward *N(k)O*) Alexander when were thrusting forward him the Jews; And Alexander having motioned with the hand was wanting to present a defense to the people.
34 Mme ya re fa boidiidi jwa batho bo lemoga gore ke Mojuta, ba simolola gape ba tsosa modumo sebaka sa oura tse pedi ba ntse ba re, “Go mogolo Diana wa Baefesia!”
(Having recognized *N(k)O*) however that a Jew he is, a cry there was one from all (about *NK(o)*) ongoing hours two crying out; Great [is] Artemis of [the] Ephesians.
35 Mme lwa bofelo molaodi o ne a kgona go ba didimatsa gore a kgone go bua. O ne a re, “Banna ba Efeso, mongwe le mongwe o itse gore Efeso ke motse mogolo wa tumelo ya ga Diana yo mogolo, yo setshwantsho sa gagwe se fologileng se tswa legodimong.
having calmed then the town clerk the crowd he says; Men Ephesians, who for is there (of men *N(k)O*) who not knows the of [the] Ephesians city temple-keeper as being of the great (goddess *k*) Artemis and of that fallen from the sky?
36 Mme e re ka se e le boammaaruri jo bo sa kakeng jwa ganediwa, ga lo a tshwanela go tshwenyega le fa go ka buiwa go tweng ebile lo seka lwa dira sepe ka mahega.
Undeniable therefore are being these things necessary it is for you quietened to be and nothing rash to do.
37 Ntswa lo tlisitse banna ba fano ba sa utswa sepe mo tempeleng ya ga Diana le gone ba sa mo nyenyefatsa ka gope.
You brought for men these neither temple plunderers nor blaspheming the (goddess *N(k)O*) (of us. *N(K)O*)
38 Mme fa Demeterio le babetli ba gagwe ba na le molato nabo, ditsheko di tsenye mme basekisi ba ka seka tsheko e gone jaanong jaana. A ba tsamaye ka fa molaong.
If indeed therefore Demetrius and the with him craftsmen have against anyone a matter courts are conducted and proconsuls there are; they should accuse to one another.
39 Mme fa go na le dingongorego kaga dilo dingwe, di ka baakanngwa sentle mo diphuthegong tsa lekgotla la motse;
If however anything (beyond this *N(K)O*) you inquire, in the lawful assembly it will be solved.
40 gonne re mo diphatseng tsa go bidiwa ke mmuso wa Ba-Roma gore re bolele gore khuduego e ya gompieno e simologile jang, ka go sena mabaka ape a a e simolotseng. Mme fa Baroma ba batla tlhaloso ga ke itse gore ke tlaa reng.”
And for we are in danger of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day not one cause there is existing concerning which not we will be able (to render *NK(o)*) a reason (for *no*) commotion this.
41 Hong a ba phatlalatsa ba tsamaya.
And these things having said he dismissed the assembly.
