Leeto la ga Paulo la go ya kwa Jerusalema

1 E rile re sena go kgaogana nabo, ra tsamaya ka mokoro, ra tlhamalalela kwa Kose; ka moso ra ya kwa Roto, ra tswa teng, ra fitlha kwa Patara. 2 Ra fitlhela mokoro o o kgabaganyetsang kwa Fenikia, ra o palama, ra tsamaya. 3 Ya re re bona setlhakatlhake sa Kipero, ra se pota ka fa molemeng, ra fetela kwa Siria, ra goroga mo Tiro; gonne ke gona fa mokoro o neng o tla pagololwa morwalo teng. 4 Ya re re bona barutwa, ra tlhola malatsi a a supang teng; mme bao ba bolelela Paulo ka Mowa gore a se ka a ya kwa Jerusalema.t 5 Ya re re sena go swetsa malatsi ao, ra tloga, ra tswelela, bone botlhe ba na le basadi le bana ba re buledisa, go ya re be re tswe mo motseng; ra khubama fa losing lwa lewatle, ra rapela.t

6 Jaanong ra dumedisanya, ra palama mokoro, bone ba boela kwa gae.
7 Ya re re fetsa leeto la go tswa kwa Tiro, ra fitlha kwa Petolemai, ra dumedisa badumedi, ra tlhola nabo letsatsi le le lengwe fela. 8 Ka moso ra tloga, ra ba ra fitlha kwa Kaisarea; teng ra tsena mo ntlong ya ga Filipo wa moefangele yo e neng e le mongwe wa ba supa, ra tlhola nae.t

9 Yoo a bo a na le bomorwadie ba le bane, e le makgarebe a a nang le neo ya boporofeti.t
10 Ya re re sena go nna teng malatsi a se kae, ga tla moporofeti mongwe, a tswa Jutea yo go tweng Agabo.t

11 A fitlha fa go rona, a tsaya moitlamo wa ga Paulo, a ipofa maoto le mabogo a re: “Mowa o o Boitshepo o bua jaana o re: ‘Mong wa moitlamo o, Bajuta ba tla mmofa jalo kwa Jerusalema, ba mo neela mo diatleng tsa baheitane.’ ”t
12 Ya re re utlwa jalo, ra mo rapela, rona le ba felo foo, gore a se ka a ya kwa Jerusalema.t

13 Foo Paulo a araba a re: “Lo dirang ka go lela, lo mphatlola pelo? Kana ke iketleeditse go swela leina la Morena Jesu kwa Jerusalema, e seng go golegwa fela.”t

14 Mme ya re a gana go rapelesega, ra ineela ra re: “A thato ya Morena e dirafale!”
15 Morago ga malatsi ao ra ipaakanya, ra ya kwa Jerusalema.

16 Bangwe ba barutwa ba Kaisarea le bone ba ya le rona, ba re isa kwa go mongwe e bong Menasone wa Kipero, morutwa wa bogologolo, yo re yang go nna kwa ga gagwe.

Kopano ya ga Paulo le baapostolo

19 Ya re a sena go ba dumedisa, a ba bolelela sengwe le sengwe se Modimo o se dirileng mo baheitaneng ka tirelo ya gagwe.
20 Mme bone, ya re ba utlwa, ba galaletsa Modimo, ba mo raya ba re: “Mogarona, o a bona gore ke dikete tse di kana kang tsa Bajuta ba ba dumetseng; mme botlhe ba tlhoafaletse molao.t 21 Ba boleletswe ka ga gago ga twe: O ruta Bajuta botlhe ba ba mo go Baditšhaba gore ba hularele Moše, o a re, ba se rupise bana le e seng go tsamaya ka fa mekgweng ya segarona.t

22 Mme jaanong go ka tweng? Go tshwanetse ga nna pitso ya phuthego; kana ba tla utlwa gore o tsile.
23 “Ka moo he, dira se re se go rayang. Re na le banna ba le bane ba ba nang le ikano; 24 ba tsee, o itshekisiwe nabo, o ba duelele gore ba tle ba beolwe ditlhogo; mme botlhe ba tla itse gore tse ba di boleletsweng ka ga gago ga se tsona, mme le wena ka wesi o sepela o tshegeditse molao.t

25 Fa e le Baditšhaba ba ba dumetseng re ba kwaletse katlholo ya rona gore ba se ka ba tshegetsa sepe sa dilo tse, mme ba ikilele mo nameng ya ditlhabelo tsa medimo le mo mading le mo go tse di betilweng le mo boakeng fela.”t

26 Foo Paulo a tsaya banna bao; mme ya re ka moso a itshekisiwa nabo, a tsena mo Tempeleng, a bolela gore sebaka sa malatsi a boitshekiso se tla fela leng, a nna teng go ya mongwe le mongwe wa bone a be a isediwe setlhabelo.t

Pheretlhego ya Bajuta mo Jerusalema

29 Ba re jalo ka gonne ba ne ba bonye Terofimo wa Efeso, a na le ene mo motseng, yo ba itlhomileng gore Paulo o mo isitse mo Tempeleng.t

30 Motse otlhe wa kgoberega, ga nna kgobokano ya batho; jaanong ba tshwara Paulo, ba mo swatolela kwa ntle ga Tempele; mme ka bonako mejako ya tswalwa.

Kgolego ya ga Paulo

36 Gonne bontsi jwa morafe bo ne bo ba setse morago, bo kua bo re: “A a bolawe!”t

37 Ya re fa Paulo a tla isiwa mo kagong ya batlhabani, a raya molaodi-wa-sekete a re: “A nka bua sengwe nao!”
Ene a araba a re: “A o itse Segerika?

38 A ga se wena Moegepeto yo maloba o tsositseng pheretlhego, wa gogela babolai ba ba dikete tse nne kwa sekakeng?”

39 Paulo a araba a re: “Ke Mojuta wa kwa Tareso wa Kilekia, moagi wa motse o o itsegeng; ke a go rapela, ntetlelele go bua le batho.”t
40 Ya re a sena go mo letlelela, Paulo a ema mo mapalamong, a boka batho ka letsogo; mme ya re go sena go nna tidimalo e kgolo, a bua nabo ka Sehebere a re:

Acts 21

1 And when it came to pass that were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:2 and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.3 And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.4 And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.5 And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;6 and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.7 And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.8 And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.9 Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.10 And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.11 And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.12 And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.13 Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.15 And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.16 And there went with us also certain of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.19 And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry.20 And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:21 and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.22 What is it therefore? They will certainly hear that thou art come.23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men that have a vow on them;24 these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.25 But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.27 And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,28 crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.29 For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.31 And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.32 And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.33 Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.34 And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?38 Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?39 But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.40 And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
