Ditiro 21
1 Mme erile re sena go kgaogana le ba golwane ba Efeso, ra tlhamalalela kwa Kosa, letsatsi le le latelang ra goroga mo Rodesa ra ba ra tswelela ra ya Patara.
When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Mme foo ra tshwara sekepe se se yang kwa Siria mo kgaolong ya Finikia.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3 Re ne ra bona setlhake sa Kopero, mme ra se feta ka fa molemeng ra ema mo Ture, kwa Siria, kwa sekepe se neng sa ololelwa teng.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 Mme re ne ra fologa mo sekepeng, ra bona badumedi, mme ra nna le bone selekanyo sa beke. Barutwa ba ba ne ba tlhagisa Paulo, Mowa O O Boitshepo o porofesa ka bone gore a seka a ya Jerusalema.
Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Mme erile bofelo ja beke fa re boela kwa mokorong, phuthego yotlhe mmogo le basadi le bana ba ya le rona kwa lotshitshing kwa re neng ra rapela ra bo ra ba sadisa sentle.
When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
6 Mme rona ra palama sekepe bone ba boela gae.
we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
7 Mme kwa re neng ra ema teng gape go tloga kwa Ture ke kwa Potolomaia kwa re neng ra dumedisa badumedi teng mme ra tlhola nabo le-tsatsi le le lengwe fela.
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
8 Hong ra tswelela ra ya Kaesarea ra nna kwa lwapeng lwa ga Filipo wa Moefangele, mongwe wa batiakone ba ntlha ba ba supa.
On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 O ne a na le bana ba basetsana ba le bane ba ba sa nyalwang ba ba neng ba na le mpho ya go porofesa.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Mme erile re santse re ntse malatsinyana, monna mongwe yo o neng a bidiwa Agabo, yo le ene o neng a na le mpho ya go porofesa, o ne a goroga a tswa Judea,
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 mme a re etela. O ne a tsaya moitlamo wa ga Paulo, a ipofa maoto le mabogo ka one mme a re, “Mowa O O Boitshepo ware, mme fela jalo mong wa moitlamo o, o tlaa bofiwa ke Bajuta kwa Jerusalema a bo a isiwa Roma!”
Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
12 Mme erile re utlwa mo, rona rotlhe badumedi ba mo gae le bapati ba gagwe ba o tsamayang nabo, ra kopa Paulo gore a seka a ya Jerusalema.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Mme ene a re, “Lo lelelang? Lo mphatlola pelo! Gonne ke ipaakanyeditse gore ke se ka ka tshwarwa fela kwa Jerusalema, mme le gore ke swe ka ntlha ya Morena Jesu.”
Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14 Mme erile fa re bona gore ga a ka ke a rapelesega, ra itlhoboga mme ra re, “A go rata ga Morena go diragadiwe.”
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 Mme ya re morago ga moo ra phutha dilwana tsa rona ra ya kwa Jerusalema.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Barutwa bangwe kwa Kaesarea ba tsamaya le rona, mme fa re goroga re ne re le baeng kwa lwapeng lwa ga Monasone; mongwe wa badumedi ba pele, yo o tlholegileng a tswa Kupero
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 mme le badumedi botlhe kwa Jerusalema ba re amogela ka boitumelo.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Letsatsi la bobedi Paulo o ne a re tsaya go ya go kopana le Jakobe le bagolwane ba phuthego ya Jerusalema.
The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Mme morago ga re dumedisana, Paulo a bolela gape dilo tse dintsi tse Modimo o di diretseng Badichaba ka tirelo ya gagwe.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
20 Ba ne ba galaletsa Modimo mme ba re, “O a itse, mokaulengwe yo o rategang, gore go dumetse Bajuta ba le dikete tse kae. Mme ba gatelela thata gore Bajuta ba badumedi ba tshwanetse go sala ngwao ya bone morago.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
21 Bakeresete ba rona ba Sejuta mono Jerusalema ba setse ba boleletswe gore lo kgatlhanong le melao ya ga Moshe, le ngwao ya rona ya Sejuta, le gore lo itsa bana ba bone go rupa.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
22 Mme jaanong go ka dirwang? Gonne ba tlaa utlwa gore lo tsile.
What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
23 “Rona re akanya jaana: Re na le banna ba le bane fano ba ba ipaakanyeditseng go ipeola le go ikana.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Tsamayang le bone kwa Tempeleng le lona lo fete lo ipeole, mme lo ba duelele go ipeola. Mme mongwe le mongwe o tlaa itse gore lo dumalana le Bakeresete ba Sehebera le gore le lona lo obamela melao ya Sejuta mme lo akanya jaaka rona mo dilong tse.
Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
25 Mme mo Bakereseteng ba Badichaba ga re ba laolele gore ba sale dingwao tse tsa Sejuta morago gotlhelele, fa e se tse re di ba kwaletseng kaga gore ba seka ba a ja dijo tse di tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa, ba seka ba a ja nama e e sa tshololwang madi ya diphologolo tse di kgamilweng, le gore ba seka ba dira boaka.”
But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
26 Mme jalo Paulo o ne a dumalana le kopo ya bone mme letsatsi le le latelang a tsamaya le banna a ya kwa Tempeleng, a dira gore maikano a gagwe a itsege ka go ntsha setlhabelo morago ga malatsi a supa le ba bangwe. Malatsi a supa a ne a tloga a fela fa Bajuta bangwe ba ba tswang Asia ba mmona mo Tempeleng mme ba tsosa mokubukubu mo bathong kgatlhanong nae. Ba ne ba mo tshwara,
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
28 ba goa ba re, “Banna ba Iseraele! Thusang! Monna yo ke ene yo o rerang kgatlhanong le batho ba rona a ba raya a re ba tlole melao ya Sejuta. Ebile o bua kgatlhanong le Tempele ebile a e leswafatsa ka go tsenya Badichaba mo teng.”
crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
29 (Gonne mo motseng letsatsi leo, ba ne ba mmonye a na le Terofimo wa Modichaba yo o tlholegileng kwa Efeso, mme ba gopola gore o tsentswe ke Paulo mo Tempeleng.)
For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Baagi ba motse otlhe ba ne ba shakgadiwa thata ke melato e a e pegwang mme ga tsoga mokubukubu o mogolo. Paulo o ne a gogelwa kwa ntle ga Tempele, mme ga tswalwa mabati ka bonako a sena go tsena.
All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Erile fa ba ntse ba leka go mmolaya, lentswe la tla mo molaoding wa mophato wa masole a Roma gore motse otlhe wa Jerusalema o feretlhegile.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Mme a akofa a laola masole a gagwe le baeteledipele gore ba tsene fa gare ga boidiidi. Erile fa baferetlhi ba bona mephato e tla, ba khutlisa go betsa Paulo.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Mme molaodi wa mephato a tshwara Paulo mme a laola gore a bofiwe gabedi ka dikeetane. Mme a botsa boidiidi jwa batho gore ke mang le gore o dirileng.
Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34 Bangwe ba ne ba bua se, ba bangwe le bone ba bua se sele. Mme erile fa a sa tlhaloganye se ba mo pegang molato ka sone, a laola gore Paulo a isiwe kwa kagong ya ditlhabano.
Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Mme erile fa ba fitlha fa mapalamong ga nna pheretlhego e kgolo thata mo e leng gore masole a ne a tsholetsa Paulo a mmaya mo magetleng a bone go mmabalela,
When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 mme boidiidi jwa batho jwa salela kwa morago bo goa bo re, “A a bolawe! A a bolawe!”
for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
37 Mme erile fa Paulo a tloga a tsenngwa mo teng a raya molaodi a re, “A nka bua nao?” Molaodi a botsa ka kgakgamalo a re, “A o itse Segerika? A ga o Moegepeto yo o neng a eteletse pele ditsuulodi dingwaganyana tse di fetileng a bo a tsaya maloko a babolai a le dikete tse nne a ya nabo kwa sekakeng?”
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
39 Paulo o ne a fetola a re, “Nnyaa, Nna ke Mojuta kwa Tareso mo Kilikia, motse o o seng mmotlana. Ke kopa tetlelelo go bua le batho ba.”
But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
40 Mme molaodi o ne a dumela, jalo Paulo a ema mo mapalamong mme a gwetlha batho ka seatla gore ba didimale; ka bofefo ga nna tidimalo mo bathong, mme a bua le bone ka Sehebera a re:
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
