Ditiro 5
1 Mme ga bo go le monna a bidiwa Ananiase (le mosadi wa gagwe Safira) ba ba neng ba a rekisa bontlha-bongwe jwa setsha,
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sappirah, his wife, sold a possession,
2 mme ba tlisa bontlhabongwe fela jwa madi, ba kaya fa e le tlhwatlhwa e e feletseng (mosadi wa gagwe o ne a dumalana tsietso e).
and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put it at the apostles' feet.
3 Mme Petere a re, “Ananiase, Satane o tladitse pelo ya gago ka maaka fa o bolela gore tlhwatlhwa e ke yone yotlhe, o ne o aketsa Mowa O O Boitshepo.
But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Setsha e ne e le sa gago go se rekisa kgotsa nnyaa, go ya fela ka fa o neng o rata ka teng. Mme morago ga o sena go se rekisa, e ne e le ga gago go bona gore o ntsha bokae. Ke eng fa o ne o dira jaana? Ga oa aketsa rona o akeditse Modimo.”
While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God."
5 Erile fela fa Ananiase a utlwa mafoko a, a wela fa fatshe a swa! Mongwe le mongwe a tlewa ke poifo e kgolo,
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
6 mme makau a mo phutha ka letsela a mo tsaya a ya go mo fitlha.
The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 Erile morago ga dioura di le tharo mosadi wa gagwe a tla, a sa itse se se diragetseng.
About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Petere a mmotsa are, “A lo rekisitse setsha sa lona ka bokana?” A araba are “Ee, re se rekisitse ka bokalo.”
Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
9 Mme Petere a re, “Ke eng fa wena le monna wa gago lo ka akanya go dira selo se se ntseng jaana, lo leka maano a bosula go leka nonofo ya Mowa wa Modimo go itse se se diragalang? Ka kwa ntle ga kgoro ele go na le makawana a a tswang go boloka monna wa gago, mme le wena ba tlaa tla go go rwala ba ya go go boloka.”
But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 Erile gone fela foo a wela fa fatshe, a swa, mme makawana a tsena mo teng, ya re ba mmona gore o sule, ba mo tsaya ba ya go mmoloka go bapa le monna wa gagwe.
She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
11 Mme poifo e kgolo ya tlela phuthego yotlhe le ba bangwe botlhe ba ba utlwileng se se diragetseng.
Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.
12 Ka sebaka seo, Baaposetoloi ba ne ba kopane mo lefelong le le bidiwang mathudi a ga Solomone, mme ba dira ditshupo tse di bonalang le dikgakgamatso mo matlhong a batho.
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 Badumedi ba bangwe ba seka ba kgatlhega go kopana le bone, le fa go ntse jalo, ba ne ba ba tlotla thata.
None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
14 Mme badumedi ba oketsega thata mo Moreneng, bontsi jwa banna le basadi.
More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
15 Balwetse ba ntshediwa kwa mebileng ba le mo malaong le mo diphateng gore bogolo moriti wa ga Petere o wele bangwe ba bone fa a feta!
They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.
16 Mme bontsi jwa batho jwa tla bo tswa mo tikologong ya Jerusalema, ba tlisa balwetse ba bone le ba ba tsenyweng ke mewa e e maswe; mme mongwe le mongwe wa bone a fola.
Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
17 Mme Moperesiti yo mogolo le botlhe ba losika le ditsala tsa gagwe mo Basadukaing ba tlala lefufa,
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18 mme ba tshwara baaposetoloi, ba ba tsenya mo kgolegelong.
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
19 Mme moengele wa Morena a tla bosigo, a bula dikgoro tsa kgolegelo a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle. Mme a ba raya a re,
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
20 “Tsamayang lo ye mo Tempeleng lo rere kaga Botshelo jo!”
"Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
21 Mme ba goroga mo Tempeleng e ka ne e le ka nako ya letsatsi le tlhaba mme ka bonako ba simolola go rera! Moragonyana mo mosong oo, Moperesiti yo Mogolo le botlhe ba lekgotla ba tsena mo Tempeleng, ba bitsa Lekgotla le legolo la bagolwane ba Puso, ba romela batho go ya go bitsa baaposetoloi go tla go sekisiwa.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Mme erile fa mapodisi a tsena kwa kgolegelong, banna ba bo ba seyo, jalo ba boela kwa Lekgotleng ba bega gore
But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
23 “Dikgoro tsa kgolegelo di ne di tswetswe, mme batlhokomedi ba ne ba eme ka kwa ntle, mme erile fa re bula dikgoro, ga bo go sena ope!”
"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
24 Mme erile fa molaodi wa mapodisi le baperesiti ba bagolwane ba utlwa se, ba akabala, ba hakgametse thata gore go tlaa diragalang le gore mo gotlhe go tlaa felela kae!
Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
25 Mme mongwe a goroga ka mafoko a a reng banna ba ba neng ba le mo kgolegelong ba mo Tempeleng ba rerela batho!
One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
26 Mme Mogolwane wa mapodisi a tsamaya le mapodisi ba ba tshwara kwa ntle ga mokubukubu, (gonne ba ne ba tshaba batho gore ba tlaa ba bolaya fa ba ka gakalela barutwa) mme ba ba lere fa pele ga Lekgotla.
Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
28 Moperesiti yo Mogolo a bua a re, “A ga re a lo bolelela gore lo seka lwa tlhola lo ruta kaga Jesu yo? Mme mo boemong jwa go khutlisa go rera kaga Jesu lo tladitse Jerusalema ka thuto ya lona mme lo ikaelela go re baya molato ka loso lwa monna yo!”
saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
29 Mme Petere le baaposetoloi ba araba ba re, “Re tshwanetse go obamela Modimo go na le batho.
But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
30 Modimo wa borra-a-rona mogolwagolwane o tsositse Jesu go tla mo botshelong gape morago ga lo sena go mmolaya ka go mo pega mo mokgorong.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
31 Mme ka nonofo e kgolo, Modimo wa mo tsholetsa go nna Kgosana le Mmoloki, gore batho ba Iseraele ba tle ba nne le lobaka lwa boikwatlhao le gore dibe tsa bone di itshwarelwe.
God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Mme re basupi ba dilo tse, ga mmogo le Mowa O O Boitshepo, o o neetsweng botlhe ba ba obamelang Modimo.”
We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 “Ya re ka ntlha ya go bua jalo, Lekgotla la gakala la ikaelela go ba bolaya.”
But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
34 Mme mongwe wa bone, Mofarasai yo o bidiwang Gamaliele, (moitseanape wa molao wa tumelo a bile a itsege thata mo bathong) a ema a kopa gore baaposetoloi ba ntshediwe kwa ntle fa a sa ntse a bua.
But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
35 Mme a raya banna ba Lekgotla a re,
He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
36 “Motlha mongwe go kile ga bo go le Theudase, yo o neng a ipaya jaaka e ka re ke mongwe yo o kwa godimo. Bangwe ba ka nna makgolo a mane ba ikopanya nae, mme a bolawa, mme botlhe ba ba ineetseng mo go ene ba phatlaladiwa kwa ntle ga kutlwelobotlhoko epe.
For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
37 “Morago ga gagwe, ka nako ya fa go kgethisiwa, ga bo go le Judase wa Galalea. A itatedisa batho bangwe go nna barutwa, mme le ene a swa, mme balatedi ba gagwe ba phatlalala.
After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 “Mme jaanong kgakololo ya me ke e, tlogelang banna ba, mme fa se ba se rutang le se ba se dirang e le ga bone fela, ka bofefo se tlaa fedisiwa.
Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown.
39 Mme fa e le ga Modimo lo tlaa retelelwa ke go ba emisa, e sere kgotsa lona ka bo lona lwa iphitlhela lo tlhabantsha Modimo.”
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
40 Lekgotla la dumalana le kgakololo ya gagwe, ba bitsa baaposetoloi, ba ba itaya, ba ba bolelela gore ba seka ba tlhola ba bua ka leina la ga Jesu, mme morago ba ba lesa ba tsamaya.
They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Ba tloga fa lekgotleng ba itumeletse gore Modimo o ba supile ba nonofile go tlontlologela leina la one.
They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 Mme ka malatsi otlhe mo Tempeleng le mo motsing, ba tswelela go ruta le go rera gore Jesu ke Mesia.
Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.
