Ditiro 28
1 Mme ka bofefo ra lemoga fa re gorogile mo setlhakeng sa Malita. Batho ba setlhake ba ne ba re siametse thata, ba ne ba gotsa molelo o motona fa lotshitshing go re amogela le go re thuthafatsa mo puleng le mo botsididing.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Mme erile fa Paulo a kokoanya ngata ya dikgong go di tsenya mo molelong, noga e e botlhole ya ntshiwa mo molelong ke mogote, ya ithatha ka letsogo la gagwe!
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 Mme batho ba setlhake ba ne ba e bona e lepeletse mme ba raana ba re, “Ke mmolai ga gona pelaelo! Le ntswa a falotse mo lewatleng, tshiamiso ga e ka ke ya mo letla gore a tshele!”
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
5 Mme Paulo a tlhotlhorela noga mo molelong e sa mo loma.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
6 Mme batho ba solofela gore ba tlaa bona a ruruga kgotsa a wa fela ka tshoganetso a a swa; mme erile ba sena go nna ba lebeletse ka lobaka lo loleele mme go sena kgobalo epe mo go ene, ba fetola megopolo ya bone mme ba re ke modimo.
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 Fa lotshitshing fa re neng ra nna teng go ne go na le tshimo ya ga Pubelio, molaodi wa setlhake. O ne a re amogela sentle a bo a re fa dijo ka malatsi a le mararo.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 Mme erile ka yone nako eo, rraagwe Pubelio a bo a lwala bolwetse jwa letshoroma le motabogo o mohibidu. Paulo a tsena a mo rapelela, mme a mmaya diatla a mo fodisa!
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 Mme balwetse ba bangwe botlhe mo setlhakeng ba tla mme ba fodisiwa.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 Mme ka ntlha ya moo ra tshologelwa ke dimpho di le dintsi, mme erile fa go tla nako ya gore re tsamaye, batho ba olela mefuta yotlhe ya dilo tse re tlaa di tlhokang mo loetong.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 E ne e le kgwedi tse tharo sekepe se sena go senyega pele ga re simolola go tsamaya, mme ka nako e, re ne ra tsamaya ka sekepe se se bidiwang Mafatlha a Basimane sa Alekesanderia, sekepe se se neng se feditse mariga mo setlhakeng.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 Re ne ra ema la ntlha kwa Sirakuse, kwa re neng ra nna teng malatsi a mararo.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 Mme go tswa foo ra dikologa ra ya kwa Regiama; letsatsi le le latelang phefo ya borwa ya simolola go foka, mme letsatsi le le latelang ra goroga kwa Puteoli,
From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 kwa re neng ra bona badumedi bangwe teng! Ba ne ba re kopa gore re nne nabo malatsi a supa. Go tsweng foo ra tswelela ra ya Roma.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 Bakaulengwe ba Roma ba ne ba utlwile gore re e tla mme ba tla go re kopantsha kwa patlelong mo Tseleng ya Apio. Bangwe ba kopana le rona kwa matlung a mararo a boitapoloso. Erile Paulo a ba bona, a leboga Modimo mme a nametsega.
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Mme erile fa re goroga kwa Roma, Paulo o ne a letlelelwa gore a nne fa a ratang teng, le fa a ne a disitswe ke lesole.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 Mme erile malatsi a mararo a sena go feta, a bitsa bagolwane ba Bajuta botlhe ba motse mme a ba raya a re: “Bakaulengwe ke ne ke tshwerwe ke Bajuta kwa Jerusalema mme ka isiwa kwa mmusong wa Roma gore ke sekisiwe, ntswa ke ne ke sa utlwisa ope botlhoko kgotsa go tsuolola ngwao ya borraetsho mogologolwane.
It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 Mme Ba-Roma ba ne ba ntshekisa ba bo ba rata go nkgolola, gonne ba ne ba sa bone molato ope o o tshwanetseng loso jaaka bagolwane ba Bajuta ba ne ba batla.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Mme erile fa Bajuta ba gana katlholo eo, ka bona go tlhokega, gore ke ikuele mo go Kaisara, ke sa ba eleletse bosula bope.
But when the Judeans spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 Ke lo kopile go tla fano gompieno gore re itsanye le gore ke lo bolelele gore ke golegilwe ka dikeetane ka ntlha ya gore ke dumela gore Mesia o tsile.”
For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
21 Mme ba fetola ba re, “Ga re ise re ke re utlwe sepe se o sekisiwang ka ga sone! Ga re ise re ke re amogele dikwalo dipe tse di tswang kwa Judea kgotsa dipego tse di tlang le ba ba tswang kwa Jerusalema.
They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22 Mme re batla go utlwa se o se dumelang, gonne se re se itseng fela kaga Bakeresete ba ke gore ba nyadiwa gongwe le gongwe!”
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
23 Mme ga tlhongwa nako, mme ka letsatsi leo ga tla batho ba le bantsi mo tlung ya gagwe. A ba bolelela kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo a bo a ba ruta kaga Jesu mo Dikwalong, go tswa mo dikwalong tsa ga Moshe tse tlhano le dikwalo tsa baporofiti. A simolola a ruta mo mosong go fitlhelela maitseboa!
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Yeshua, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Mme bangwe ba ne ba dumela, ba bangwe ba gana go dumela.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 Mme erile ba sena go ganetsanya ka bosi ba tsamaya ba tlhabilwe ke lefoko la bofelo la ga Paulo le le reng, “Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne o bua boammaaruri fa o bua ka Moporofiti Isaia o re,
When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Ruach ha-Kodesh spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
26 ‘Raya Bajuta o re, “Lo tlaa utlwa lo bo lo bona mme ga lo na go tlhaloganya,”
saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
27 gonne dipelo tsa lona di thata le ditsebe tsa lona ga di reetse mme lo tswetse matlho a lona gore lo seka lwa bona lwa tlhaloganya, le go sokologela kwa go nna gore ke lo fodise.’
For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
28 Mme jalo ke batla gore lo lemoge gore poloko e, e e tswang kwa Modimong le Badichaba ke ya bone, ebile bone ba tla e amogela.”
"Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 Mme Paulo o ne a nna dingwaga tse pedi mo tlung e o neng a e hirile, mme a amogela botlhe ba ba neng ba mo etela,
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 a ba bolelela ka bopelokgale jotlhe kaga Bogosi jwa Modimo le kaga Morena Jesu Keresete; mme ga seka ga nna le ope yo o lekang go mo didimatsa.
proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Yeshua the Messiah with all boldness, without hindrance.
