Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Mme erile fa Paulo le Barenabase ba sa le kwa Antioka, banna bangwe ba tswa Judea ba goroga mme ba simolola go ruta badumedi gore fa ba sa ngaparele ngwao ya Sejuta ya bogologolo ya go rupisiwa ga ba ka ke ba bolokwa.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Paulo le Barenabase ba ganetsanya nabo, ba bo ba buisanya nabo ka nako e telele kaga selo se, mme la bofelo badumedi ba ba romela kwa Jerusalema, go ya go bua le baaposetoloi le bagolwane koo kaga selo se.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Mme morago ga phuthego yotlhe e ba ntsha mo motseng, ba ralala Foneshia le Samaria ba etela badumedi, ba ba bolelela mo go ileng ga itumedisa batho botlhe, gore Badichaba le bone ba ne ba sokologa.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Fa ba goroga kwa Jerusalema, ba kopana le bagolwane ba phuthego, baaposetoloi botlhe le bagolwane ba ne ba le teng mme Paulo le Barenabase ba bolela se Modimo o ntseng o se dira mo go boleleng Lefoko ga bone.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Mme banna bangwe ba e neng e le Bafarasai pele ga ba sokologa ba ema ka dinao ba bolela gore Badichaba botlhe ba ba sokologileng ba tshwanetse go rupisiwa le gone go tlhokega gore ba sale ngwao le mekgwa ya Sejuta morago.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Mme jalo baaposetoloi le bagolwane ba phuthego ba ne ba ikemisetsa go bitsa phuthego ya go tla go buisanya kaga selo se.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Mme mo phuthegong, morago ga puisanyo e telele, Petere a ema mme a ba bolelela jaana: “Bakaulengwe, lotlhe lo itse gore Modimo ga o bolo go tlhopha bogologolo go rerela Badichaba Mafoko a a Molemo, gore le bone ba dumele.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Modimo o o itseng dipelo tsa batho, o tlhomamisitse gore o amogela Badichaba ka go ba neela Mowa O O Boitshepo, fela jaaka o re o neetse.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Ga o a dira pharologanyo fa gare ga bone le rona, gonne o tlhatswitse matshelo a bone ka tumelo, fela jaaka o tlhatswitse a rona.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Mme jaanong a lo tlaa tshwaya Modimo phoso ka go rwesa Badichaba mokgweleo o le e leng rona le borraetsho re sa kgonang go o rwala.
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
A ga lo dumele gore botlhe ba bolokwa ka tsela e le nngwe, ka mpho e e neelwang fela kwa ntle ga theko ke Morena Jesu.”
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Ga go a ka ga tlhola go nna le kgang epe, mme mongwe le mongwe a reetsa fa Barenabase le Paulo ba bolela kaga dikgakgamatso tse Modimo o di dirileng ka bone mo go Badichaba.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Mme erile ba sena go fetsa, Jakobe a ema a re, “Bakaulengwe, ntheetsang.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Petere o lo boleletse ka nako e Modimo o etetseng Badichaba ka yone go ntsha mo go bone ba ba tlaa leretseng leina la one tlotlo.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Mme lobaka lo lwa go ipolela ga Badichaba lo dumalana le se baporofiti ba se buileng. Sekai ke se, reetsang temana e, e e tswang mo go moporofiti Amose:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
Morena a re, ‘Morago, ke tlaa tla ke tla go aga sesha ntlo ya ga Dafide e e senyegileng.
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
Gore Badichaba le bone, ba tle ba bone Morena, ebong botlhe ba ba tshwailweng ka leina la me.’
Mme se ke se Morena o se buang, yo o senolang ditiro tsa gagwe tse di dirilweng mo tshimologong. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“Mme mogopolo wa me ke gore re seka ra re Badichaba ba ba sokologang ba tshwanetse go obamela melao ya rona ya Sejuta,
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
fa e se gore re ba kwalele gore ba ikgaphe mo go jeng nama ya ditlhabelo tsa disetwa, mo boakeng jotlhe, le mo go jeng nama e e sa ntshiwang madi ya diphologolo tse di kgamilweng.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Gonne dilo tse tsotlhe ga go bolo go rerwa ka tsone mo matlung a thuto a Sejuta, mo metseng mengwe le mengwe ka Sabata mongwe le mongwe mo dikokomaneng tse dintsi.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Mme baaposetoloi le bagolwane le phuthego yotlhe ba tlhopha go romela barongwa kwa Antioka ba na le Paulo le Barenabase, go ya go bega kaga mogopolo o. Banna ba ba neng ba tlhophilwe e ne e le baeteledipele ba le babedi ba phuthego, Jutase, (yo gape o neng a bidiwa Barabase) le Silase.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Lo ke lokwalo lo ba neng ba lo tsaya: “Lo tswa kwa baaposetoloing, bagolwane le bakaulengwe kwa Jerusalema. Go bakaulengwe ba Badichaba kwa Antioka, Siria le Silisia. Ditumediso!
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
“Re utlwa gore badumedi bangwe ba ba tswang kwano ba lo tlhakantse ditlhogo ba lo botsa kaga poloko ya lona, mme re ne re sa ba laela jalo.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Mme re bonye e le kakanyo e e siameng fa re sena go dumalana ka mogopolo o le mongwe gore re lo romelele baemedi ba babedi ba, ebong Barenabase le Paulo.
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Banna ba, Judase le Silase, ba ba itatotseng matshelo a bone ka ntlha ya Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, ba tlaa bolela se re se dumalaneng kaga potso ya lona.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
“Gonne go bonetse go siame mo Moweng O O Boitshepo le mo go rona gore re se beye morwalo o mogolo wa melao ya Sejuta mo go lona go na le gore re khutlise go ja dijo tse di neetsweng medimo ya disetwa le mo nameng e e sa ntshiwang madi a diphologolo tse di kgamilweng le mo boakeng. Fa lo dira se, go lekanye. Salang sentle.”
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Mme barongwa ba bane ba ya kwa Antioka ka bonako, kwa ba neng ba bitsa teng phuthego ya Bakeresete mme ba ba neela lokwalo.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Mme go ne ga nna boitumelo jo bogolo mo phuthegong yotlhe letsatsi leo fa ba lo bala.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Mme Judase le Silase, ka bobedi e le dibui tse di abetsweng puo, ba rerela badumedi dithero tse di telele, ba ba nonotsha mo tumelong.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Ba ne ba nna malatsi, a mantsi, mme Judase le Silase ba boela kwa Jerusalema ba isa ditumediso le boitumelo kwa go ba ba neng ba ba romile.
Mme Paulo le Barenabase ba ne ba nna kwa Antioka go thusa ba bangwe ba se kae ba ba neng ba rera ba bile ba ruta koo.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Mme morago ga malatsinyana, Paulo a raya Barenabase a re, “A re boele kwa morago, re etele bakaulengwe mo metseng yotlhe e re rerileng Lefoko la Morena mo go yone, mme re bone ka fa ba tsweletseng ka teng.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barenabase o ne a dumela, mme a rata gore ba tsamaye le Johane Mareko.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Mme Paulo ene o ne a sa batle mogopolo oo gotlhelele, gonne Johane o ne a ba ngwegetse kwa Pamfilia.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Mme kganetsanyo ya bone e ne ya nna e kgolo thata kaga selo se, mo ba neng ba kgaogana. Barenabase a tsamaya le Mareko ba ya Kupero,
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
fa Paulo ene a tlhopha Silase, mme ka tshegofatso ya badumedi ba ya Siria le Silisia, go kgothatsa diphuthego koo.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
