Ditiro 4
1 Mme ya re ba santse ba bua le batho, baperesiti ba bagolo le molaodi wa mapodisi a Tempele, le bangwe ba Basadukai ba tla kwa go bone,
And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees —
2 ba tshwenyegile thata ka ntlha ya gore Petere le Johane ba ne ba bolela gore Jesu o tsogile mo baswing.
being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead —
3 Ba ba tshwara, mme ka go ne go setse go le maitsiboa, ba ba tlhatlhela mo tlung ya kgolegelo bosigo jotlhe.
and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;
4 Mme bontsi jwa batho ba ba utlwileng molaetsa wa bone ba o dumela, mo e leng gore palo ya badumedi e ne ya tsholetsega ya batla go nna dikete tse tlhano!
and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
5 Erile ka letsatsi le le latelang ga diragala gore Lekgotla la baeteledipele ba Sejuta le bo le phuthegetse mo Jerusalema.
And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
6 Anase Moperesiti yo mogolo a bo a le teng, le Kaiafase, Johane, Alekesandere le ba bangwe ba losika lwa Moperesiti yo Mogolo.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest,
7 Jalo barutwa ba babedi ba leriwe kwa go bone. Mme lekgotla la ba botsa la re, “Lo dirile selo se ka nonofo ya ga mang kgotsa ka taolo ya ga mang?”
and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?'
8 Mme Petere, ka a tletse Mowa O O Boitshepo a ba raya a re, “Baeteledipele ba ba tlotlegang le ditlhogo tsa sechaba sa rona,
Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 fa lo raya tiro e ntle e e diretsweng segole se, le ka fa o neng a fodisiwa ka teng,
if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,
10 a nke ke lo bolelele sentle lona le batho botlhe ba Iseraele gore tiro e e dirilwe ka leina le nonofo ya ga Jesu wa Nasaretha, Mesia, monna yo lo mmapotseng, mme Modimo o mo tsositse mo baswing. Ke ka nonofo ya gagwe fa monna yo a eme fano a fodile!
be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.
11 Gonne Jesu Mesia (ene yo go buiwang ka ga gagwe mo dikwalong) ke ‘lentswe je le gannweng ke baagi le le neng la nna lentswe la kgokgotshwana.’
'This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;
12 Ga go na poloko mo go ope! Ka fa tlase ga legodimo lotlhe ga gona leina lepe le batho ba ka le bitsang gore ba bolokwe.”
and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'
13 Erile Lekgotla le bona bopelokgale jwa ga Petere le Johane, gape le lemoga gore ga ba a rutega ke batho fela, ba hakgamala mme ba lemoga gore go nna le Jesu go ba diretse eng.
And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —
14 Mme Lekgotla le ne le se kake la latola go fodisiwa ga gagwe gonne motho yo o neng a fodisitswe o ne a eme gone foo gaufi nabo!
and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
15 Mme ba ba ntshetsa kwa ntle ga ntlwana e Lekgotla le kopanelang mo go yone ba sala ba gakololana.
and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,
16 Ba botsana ba re, “Re tlaa dirang ka banna ba? Ga re ka ke ra ganela gore ba dirile kgakgamatso e kgolo, gonne mongwe le mongwe mo Jerusalema o itse ka ga selo se.
saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able to deny [it];
17 Mme gongwe re ka ba emisa mo go anamiseng tumelo ya bone. Re tlaa ba bolelela gore fa ba ka dira gape jalo re tlaa dira gore ba obamele molao wa rona ka kgang.”
but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'
18 Mme ba ba biletsa mo teng, ba ba raya ba re ba seka ba tlhola ba bua sepe ka ga Jesu.
And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,
19 Mme Petere le Johane ba ba raya ba re, “Atlholang lona gore a Modimo o batla re reetsa lona mo boemong jwa one!
and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;
20 Ga re ka ke ra khutlisa go bua ka dilo tse di ntle tse re bonyeng Jesu a di dira ebile re mo utlwile a di bua.”
for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'
21 Mme Lekgotla la ba bopela, lwa bofelo ba ba lesa ba tsamaya gonne ba ne ba sa itse gore ba ka ba otlhaya jang kwa ntle ga go tsosa mokubukubu. Gonne mongwe le mongwe o ne a galaletsa Modimo ka ntlha ya tiro e ntle e,
And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,
22 ebong phodiso ya monna yo o saleng a lwetse dingwaga di le masome mane!
for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.
23 Ka bofefo fela fa ba sena go gololwa, Petere le Johane ba bona barutwa ba bangwe mme ba ba bolelela se Lekgotla le se ba reileng.
And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them,
24 Mme badumedi botlhe ba kopanela thapelo e: “Oo Morena yo o dirileng legodimo le lefatshe le lewatle le tsotlhe tse di mo go tsone,
and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,
25 o buile bogologolo ka Mowa O O Boitshepo ka mogolwagolwane wa rona, motlhanka wa gago Kgosi Dafide, wa re ‘Ke ka ntlha yang fa baheitane ba tsogologela Morena, le merafe e e dieleele e dira maanonyana a a kgatlhanong le Modimo-Mothata-Yotlhe? Dikgosi tsa lefatshe di a kopana go tlhabantsha Morwa Modimo yo o tloditsweng!’
who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;
27 “Ke sone se se diragalang fano mo motseng o gompieno! Gonne Kgosi Herode, le Ponto Pilato mmusi, le ba-Roma botlhe le batho ba Iseraele, ba kopanetse Jesu, Morwa yo o tloditsweng, motlhanka wa gago yo o boitshepo.
for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
28 Ga ba na go tlogela le fa e le sepe se wena mo nonofong ya gago o tlaa ba letlang go se dira.
to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.
29 Mme jaanong Morena, utlwa go bopa ga bone, mme o neye batlhanka ba gago bopelokgale jo bogolo mo therong ya bone,
'And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,
30 o bo o romele nonofo ya gago ya phodiso, le dikgakgamatso di le dintsi le ditshupo di dirwe ka leina la motlhanka wa gago yo o itshepileng Jesu.”
in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'
31 Morago ga thapelo e, kago e ba neng ba kopanetse mo go yone ya tshikinyega, mme botlhe ba tlala Mowa O O Boitshepo mme ba rera molaetsa wa Modimo ka bopelokgale.
And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
32 Badumedi botlhe ba ne ba le pelo e le nngwe le mowa o le mongwe, mme ga bo go sena ope yo o reng sepe sa dilo tse o nang natso ke sa gagwe; mme dilo tsotlhe ba ne ba di tlhakanetse.
and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.
33 Mme baaposetoloi ba rera dithero tse di nonofileng ka ga tsogo ya ga Morena Jesu, mme ga nna le bolekane jo bo nitameng mo badumeding botlhe.
And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,
34 Go ne go sena ope yo o tlhokang, gonne botlhe ba ba neng ba na le ditsha kgotsa matlo ba ne ba a rekisa ba tlisa madi kwa baaposetoloing go a abela ba ba tlhokang.
for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.
36 Jaaka go ne go na le Josefa, (yo baaposetoloi ba neng ba mmitsa “Barenabase wa Moreti!” E ne e le wa Balifi ba kwa setlhaketlhakeng sa Kupero).
And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
37 E ne e le mongwe wa ba ba neng ba rekisa ditsha tsa bone tse ba neng ba na natso mme ba tlisa madi kwa baaposetoloing gore ba a abele ba ba tlhokang.
a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
