Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Ary ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy izay tany Jodia dia nahare fa ny jentilisa koa efa nandray ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Ary nony tafakatra tany Jerosalema Petera, dia nila ady taminy ny mino izay isan’ ny voafora
3 saying: You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them.
ka nanao hoe: Efa niantrano tany amin’ ny olona tsy voafora ianao sady niara-nihinana taminy.
4 And Peter began, and laid the matter before them in order, saying:
Ary Petera dia nitantara izany taminy hatramin’ ny niandohany ka nanao hoe:
5 I was in the city of Joppa, praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision, some vessel like a great sheet, descending, let down from heaven by the four corners; and it came even to me.
Tany an-tanàna Jopa aho ka nivavaka, ary azon-tsindrimandry aho, dia nahita fahitana, ka, indro, nisy zavatra nidina avy tany an-danitra toa lamba lehibe nampidinina tamin’ ny zorony efatra, dia nankeo amiko izany;
6 When I had looked attentively into it, I observed and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.
ary raha nijery sy nandinika azy aho, dia hitako ny biby etỳ an-tany, izay manan-tongotra efatra, sy ny bibi-dia sy ny zava-mandady sy mikisaka ary ny voro-manidina koa.
7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
Ary nandre feo koa aho nanao tamiko hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera, vonoy, ka hano.
8 But I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.
Fa hoy izaho: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola niditra tamin’ ny vavako izay zava-padina na tsy madio.
9 But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God has cleansed, you must not call common.
Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra namaly fanindroany hoe: Izay efa nodiovin’ Andriamanitra aza ataonao ho fady.
10 This was done the third time, and all was drawn up again into heaven.
Ary intelo no nanaovana izany, dia nosarihana niakatra tany an-danitra indray izany rehetra izany.
11 And behold, three men who had been sent to me from Cæsarea, immediately came to the house where I was.
Ary tamin’ izay dia, Indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo anoloan’ ny trano nitoeranay, izay iraka avy tany Kaisaria hankeo amiko.
12 And the Spirit commanded me to go with them without hesitation. And these six brethren accompanied me. And we entered the man’s house:
Dia nasain’ ny Fanahy hiaraka tamin’ ireo aho ka tsy hizaha tavan’ olona na dia kely akory aza. Ary niaraka tamiko koa ireto rahalahy enina ireto, ka niditra tao an-tranon-dralehilahy izahay.
13 and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Ary nambarany taminay ny nahitany ny anjely nitsangana tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Maniraha ho any Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera;
14 he will tell you words by which you and all your house shall be saved.
izy hilaza teny aminao, izay hamonjena anao sy ny ankohonanao rehetra.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Ary raha vao niteny aho, dia nilatsaka taminy ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka ny tamintsika fahiny.
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as he said, John immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.
Dia nahatsiaro ny tenin’ ny Tompo aho, izay nolazainy hoe: Jaona nanao batisa tamin’ ny rano, fa ianareo kosa dia hatao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.
17 If, then, God gave them the like gift that he gave to us who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God?
Koa raha mba homen’ Andriamanitra azy ny fanomezana, tahaka antsika fony isika vao nino an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompo dia iza moa aho no hahasakana an’ Andriamanitra?
18 And when they heard these things, they ceased to contend; and they glorified God, saying: Then, indeed, has God given to the Gentiles also repentance in order to life.
Ary rehefa nandre izany ireo, dia nangina sady nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Efa nomen’ Andriamanitra ny jentilisa koa ny fibebahana hahazoany fiainana.
19 Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen, traveled as far as Phenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.
Ary izay niely noho ny fanenjehana tamin’ i Stefana dia nandeha hatrany, Foinika sy Kyprosy ary Antiokia, nefa tsy nitoriteny tamin’ ny olona izy, afa-tsy tamin’ ny Jiosy ihany.
20 But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Ary ny sasany tamin’ ireny, dia lehilahy avy any Kyprosy sy Kyrena izay tonga tany Antiokia, dia niresaka tamin’ ny jentilisa koa ka nitory an’ i Jesosy Tompo.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
Ary ny tanan’ ny Tompo nomba azy ireo, ka maro no isan’ izay nino sy niverina ho amin’ ny Tompo.
22 And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church that was in Jerusalem; and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
Ary ren’ ny sofin’ ny fiangonana tany Jerosalema ny amin’ ireo, dia naniraka an’ i Barnabasy izy handeha hatrany Antiokia.
23 When he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he rejoiced; and he exhorted them all to remain, with purpose of heart, faithful to the Lord.
Ary rehefa tonga izy ka nahita ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra, dia faly ka nananatra azy rehetra haharitra hiray amin’ ny Tompo amin’ ny fo minia fatratra.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Fa lehilahy tsara fanahy izy sady feno ny Fanahy Masìna sy finoana; ary maro be ny olona nanampy ho an’ ny Tompo.
25 And Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek for Saul;
Dia lasa Barnabasy nankany Tarsosy hitady an’ i Saoly.
26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they met together in the church for a whole year, and taught a great multitude; and the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Ary rehefa nahita azy izy, dia nitondra azy hankany Antiokia. Ary niara-niasa tao amin’ ny fiangonana hatramin’ ny herintaona ngarangidina izy roa lahy ka nampianatra olona maro; ary tany Antiokia no voalohany nanaovana ny anaran’ ny mpianatra hoe.
27 In those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nisy mpaminany sasany avy tany Jerosalema nankany Antiokia.
28 And one of them, named Agabus, rose and made known, by the Spirit, that a great famine was about to come on the whole habitable land; which took place in the days of Claudius.
Ary nitsangana ny anankiray tamin’ ireny, izay atao hoe Agabo, fa voatsindrin’ ny Fanahy izy ka nilaza fa hisy mosary be eran’ ny tany rehetra. Ary dia tonga izany tamin’ ny andron’ i Klaodio.
29 And every one of the disciples determined, as he had the means, to send relief to the brethren that dwelt in Judea;
Ary ny mpianatra ninia hampitondra zavatra araka ny ananany hamonjy ny rahalahy izay nonina tany Jodia.
30 which also they did; and they sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Dia nataony izany, ary ny tànan’ i Barnabasy sy Saoly no nampitondrainy izany ho any amin’ ny loholona.
