Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Mme ga bo go le monna a bidiwa Ananiase (le mosadi wa gagwe Safira) ba ba neng ba a rekisa bontlha-bongwe jwa setsha,
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
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).
3 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?
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.
4 While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
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.”
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
Erile fela fa Ananiase a utlwa mafoko a, a wela fa fatshe a swa! Mongwe le mongwe a tlewa ke poifo e kgolo,
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
mme makau a mo phutha ka letsela a mo tsaya a ya go mo fitlha.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Erile morago ga dioura di le tharo mosadi wa gagwe a tla, a sa itse se se diragetseng.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
Petere a mmotsa are, “A lo rekisitse setsha sa lona ka bokana?” A araba are “Ee, re se rekisitse ka bokalo.”
9 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
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.”
10 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.
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.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Mme poifo e kgolo ya tlela phuthego yotlhe le ba bangwe botlhe ba ba utlwileng se se diragetseng.
12 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.
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.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.
Badumedi ba bangwe ba seka ba kgatlhega go kopana le bone, le fa go ntse jalo, ba ne ba ba tlotla thata.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Mme badumedi ba oketsega thata mo Moreneng, bontsi jwa banna le basadi.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
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!
16 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
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.
17 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
Mme Moperesiti yo mogolo le botlhe ba losika le ditsala tsa gagwe mo Basadukaing ba tlala lefufa,
18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.
mme ba tshwara baaposetoloi, ba ba tsenya mo kgolegelong.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
Mme moengele wa Morena a tla bosigo, a bula dikgoro tsa kgolegelo a ba ntshetsa kwa ntle. Mme a ba raya a re,
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
“Tsamayang lo ye mo Tempeleng lo rere kaga Botshelo jo!”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
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.
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Mme erile fa mapodisi a tsena kwa kgolegelong, banna ba bo ba seyo, jalo ba boela kwa Lekgotleng ba bega gore
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
“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!”
24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
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!
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Mme mongwe a goroga ka mafoko a a reng banna ba ba neng ba le mo kgolegelong ba mo Tempeleng ba rerela batho!
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
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.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
28 saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”
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!”
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Mme Petere le baaposetoloi ba araba ba re, “Re tshwanetse go obamela Modimo go na le batho.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
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.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
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.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Mme re basupi ba dilo tse, ga mmogo le Mowa O O Boitshepo, o o neetsweng botlhe ba ba obamelang Modimo.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
“Ya re ka ntlha ya go bua jalo, Lekgotla la gakala la ikaelela go ba bolaya.”
34 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 apostles out for a little while.
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.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Mme a raya banna ba Lekgotla a re,
36 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
“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.
37 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.
“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.
38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
“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.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
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.”
40 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.
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.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
Ba tloga fa lekgotleng ba itumeletse gore Modimo o ba supile ba nonofile go tlontlologela leina la one.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
Mme ka malatsi otlhe mo Tempeleng le mo motsing, ba tswelela go ruta le go rera gore Jesu ke Mesia.
