Ditiro 9
1 Mme Saulo, ka go tshosa ka bogale jwa go nyeletsa Mokeresete mongwe le mongwe, o ne a ya kwa Moperesiting yo mogolo kwa Jerusalema.
But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 O ne a kopa lokwalo lo lo kwaletsweng diphuthego kwa Damaseko, a kopa thuso ya go bogisa badumedi ba o tlaa ba bonang teng, banna le basadi gore a tle a ba lere kwa Jerusalema ba golegilwe.
and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Mme mo loetong lo, ya re a atamela Damaseko ka tshoganetso lesedi le le galalelang thata la mo phatsimela le tswa legodimong!
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
4 O ne a wela fa fatshe mme a utlwa lentswe le re, “Saulo! Saulo! o mpogisetsang?”
and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Mme ene a re, “O mang Morena?” Jalo lentswe la fetola la re, “Ke Jesu yo o mmogisang!
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
6 Jaanong tsoga o tsene mo motseng mme o letele ditaelo tsa me.”
But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Mme banna ba ba neng ba na le Saulo ba ema ba tuulala ka kgakgamalo, gonne ba ne ba utlwa lentswe la mongwe mme ba sa mmone!
And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 Mme erile fa Saulo a tsoga fa fatshe a bo a sa bone. O ne a tshwanelwa ke go gogelwa kwa Damaseko kwa o neng a nna teng malatsi a mararo, a sa bone, a sa je, a sa nwe ka nako eo yotlhe.
And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Mme mo Damaseko go ne go na le morutwa, ebong Ananiase. Modimo o ne wa bua nae mo ponatshegelong wa re, “Ananiase!” Mme a re, “Morena”!
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 Mme Morena a re, “Tsamaya o ye kwa mmileng o go tweng Tolamo o batle ntlo ya monna yo o bidiwang Judase mme o botse gore Saulo wa Tareso o kae. O a rapela gone jaanong, gonne
And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
12 ke mmontshitse ponatshegelo ya monna yo o bidiwang Ananiase a tla go baya diatla tsa gagwe mo go ene gore a foufologe gape!”
and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
13 Mme Ananiase a re, “Morena, ke utlwile kaga dilo tse di sa siamang tse monna yo o di dirileng mo badumeding kwa Jerusalema!
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
14 Gape re utlwa gore o tshotse tetlelelo ya go tshwara e e tswang kwa baperesiting ba bagolo go mo fa thata ya go tshwara modumedi mongwe le mongwe mo Damaseko!”
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 Mme Morena a re, “Tsamaya o dire se ke se buang. Gonne Saulo ke sejana same se se tlhaotsweng go isa molaetsa wame mo go Badichaba le mo dikgosing tsa bone, le mo bathong ba Iseraele.
But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Mme ke tlaa mo supegetsa gore o tshwanetse go mpogela go le kae.”
For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 Mme Ananiase a tsamaya a bona Saulo a bo a mmaya diatla a re, “Mokaulengwe Saulo, Morena Jesu yo o neng a go ipontsha mo tseleng, o nthomile gore o tle o tladiwe ka Mowa O O Boitshepo le gore o foufologe.”
And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 Ya re gone fela foo (ya ne ekete go wa dikgapetlana mo matlhong a ga Saulo) a foufologa, mme ka bonako a kolobediwa.
And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
19 Mme a ja mme a nonofa. O ne a nna le badumedi mo Damaseko malatsinyana,
And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
20 mme erile gone fela foo a ya kwa tlung ya thuto go bolelela mongwe le mongwe Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Jesu, gore tota ke Morwa Modimo!
And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Botlhe ba ba neng ba mo utlwa ba ne ba hakgamala. Ba ne ba botsa ba re, “A monna yo ga se ene yo o neng a bogisa thata balatedi ba ga Jesu kwa Jerusalema? Mme re utlwa gore o tletse fano go tla go ba tshwara botlhe mme a ba golega go ba isa kwa baperesiting ba bagolo.”
And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
22 Saulo o ne a nna tlhaga thata mo therong ya gagwe, mme Bajuta ba Damaseko ba ne ba sa kgone go emela ditshupo tsa gagwe gore Jesu tota e ne e le Keresete.
But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Moragonyana, baeteledipele ba Sejuta ba ikaelela go mmolaya.
But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
24 Mme o ne a bolelelwa kaga maikaelelo a bone, gore ba ne ba tlhokometse dikgoro tsa motse bosigo le motshegare ba ipaakanyeditse go mmolaya.
but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Mme erile bosigo bangwe ba o ba sokolotseng ba mo falotsha ka kgorwana mo loboteng lwa motse a le mo serotong.
But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Erile fa a goroga kwa Jerusalema a leka go kopana le badumedi, mme ba ne ba mo tshaba. Ba ne ba gopola gore o itira yo o dumelang!
And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Jalo Barenabase a mo tlisa mo baaposetoloing mme a ba bolelela ka fa Saulo a ileng a bona Morena ka teng mo tseleng a ya Damaseko, le se Morena o neng a se bua nae, le ka thero ya gagwe e e nonofileng ka leina la ga Jesu kwa Damaseko.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Mme ba mo amogela, mme morago ga moo o ne a nna le badumedi ka nako tsotlhe,
And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
29 mme a rera ka bopelokgale mo leineng la Morena. Mme Bajuta bangwe ba ba neng ba bua Segerika ba o kileng a ganetsana nabo ba loga leano la go mmolaya.
speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
30 Le fa go ntse jalo, erile badumedi ba bangwe ba utlwa diphatsa tse a leng mo go tsone, ba mo isa kwa Kaesarea mme ya re morago ga moo ba mo isa kwa ga gabo kwa Tareso.
But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Erile ka lobaka lo, phuthego e ne e le mo kagisong mo ntlheng tsotlhe tsa Judea, Galalea le Samaria, mme tsa gola mo nonofong le mo palong. Badumedi ba ithuta go tsamaya ba boifa Morena mo kgomotsong ya Mowa O O Boitshepo.
The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
32 Petere o ne a tsamaya mafelo a a farologanyeng go ba etela, o ne a etela le badumedi ba ba kwa motseng wa Lida.
And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
33 Teng koo, a kopana le monna yo o neng a bidiwa Aenease, yo o neng a gateletswe ke bolwetse a bile a sa kgone go tsoga mo bolaong ka dingwaga di roba bobedi.
And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
34 Mme Petere a mo raya a re, “Aenease! Jesu Keresete o go fodisitse! Tsoga o baakanye bolao jwa gago.” Mme erile fela gone foo a fodisiwa.
And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Mme batho botlhe ba Lida le ba Sharona ba sokologela mo Moreneng fa ba bona Aenease a tsamaya.
And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
36 Mo motseng wa Jopa go ne go na le mosadi a bidiwa Dorokase, (le fa e le Tshephe) modumedi yo o neng a tshela a direla ba bangwe bo-molemo, bogolo jang batlhoki.
Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
37 Ka nako eo o ne a lwala mme a swa. Ditsala tsa gagwe tsa mmaakanyetsa phitlho mme tsa mo robatsa mo ntlwaneng e e kwa godimo.
And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 Mme erile fa ba utlwa fa Petere a le gaufi mo Lida, ba roma banna ba le babedi go kopa go boela le bone kwa Jopa.
And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
39 Mme o ne a dira jalo, erile fela fa a goroga, ba mo tseela kwa ntlwaneng ee kwa go-dimo kwa Dorokase o neng a beilwe teng. Ntlo e ne e tletse batlholagadi ba ba lelang ba ba neng ba bontshana diaparo tse Dorokase o di ba diretseng.
Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
40 Mme Petere a ba kopa gore botlhe ba tswele kwa ntle; jalo a khubama a rapela. Erile a retologela kwa setopong a re, “Tsoga Dorokase,” mme a bula matlho! Ya re a bona Petere a tsoga!
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 A mo naya letsogo a mo thusa go tsoga mme a biletsa badumedi botlhe le batlholagadi mo teng, a ba mo neela!
And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 Dikgang tsa anama le motse, mme ba le bantsi, ba dumela mo Moreneng.
And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 Mme Petere a nna lobaka lo loleele mo Jopa, a nna le Simone, wa mosuga matlalo.
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
