Acts 5
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
Fa nisy kosa lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy sy Safira vadiny nivarotra tany,
2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
ka nanafenany ho azy ny vola vidiny, ary ny vavy koa nahalala izany; dia nentiny ny vola sasany vidiny ka napetrany teo anoloan’ ny tongotry ny Apostoly.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
Ary hoy Petera: Ry Ananiasy, nahoana Satana no nameno ny fonao handainga amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna ka hanafina ny vola sasany vidin’ ny tany?
4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
Fony tsy namidy, tsy anao ihany va izy? Ary rehefa namidy, tsy anao hanaovanao izay sitraponao koa va? Nahoana no nisaina izany tao am-ponao ianao? Tsy nandainga tamin’ olona ianao, fa tamin’ Andriamanitra.
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
Ary Ananiasy, nony nandre izany teny izany, dia nikarapoka, ka afaka ny ainy; dia raiki-tahotra loatra izay rehetra nandre izany.
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
Ary nitsangana ny zatovo, dia nofonosiny ny faty ka nentiny nivoaka, dia naleviny.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Fa rehefa afaka tokony ho ora telo, dia niditra koa ny vavy, nefa tsy fantany izay efa nanjo teo.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
Ary hoy Petera taminy: Lazao amiko: Izany ihany va no vola vidin’ ny taninareo? Dia hoy izy: Eny, izany ihany.
9 “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
Ary hoy Petera taminy: Nahoana ianareo no niray tetika haka fanahy ny Fanahin’ ny Tompo? Indro, eo am-baravarana ny tongotr’ izay nandevina ny vadinao, ary hitondra anao hivoaka koa izy.
10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Dia nikarapoka teo anoloan’ ny tongony niaraka tamin’ izay koa izy, ka afaka ny ainy; ary raha niditra ny zatovo, dia hitany fa maty, ary nentiny nivoaka ka naleviny teo anilan’ ny lahy.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny fiangonana rehetra sy izay rehetra nandre izany.
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Ary ny tanan’ ny Apostoly no nanaovana famantarana sy fahagagana maro teo amin’ ny vahoaka; ary izy rehetra niray saina teo amin’ ny Fialofan’ i Solomona;
13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
ary tsy nisy tamin’ ny olona sisa rehetra sahy niray taminy; nefa nankalaza azy ny vahoaka.
14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
Ary vao mainka nisy olona maro koa na lahy na vavy izay nino ny Tompo nanampy ho isany;
15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
ka dia nentiny teny an-dalambe aza ny marary ka napetrany teny ambony farafara sy fandriana, mba hisy ho azon’ ny tandindon’ i Petera ahay, raha mandalo izy.
16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
Ary ny olona maro avy tamin’ ny vohitra manodidina an’ i Jerosalema dia nivory koa, nitondra ny marary sy izay nampahorin’ ny fanahy maloto; dia sitrana avokoa izy rehetra.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
Ary nitsangana ny mpisoronabe mbamin’ ny namany rehetra (izay antokon’ ny Sadoseo), fa feno fialonana izy,
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
dia nisambotra ny Apostoly izy ka nanao azy tao an-tranomaizina.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
Fa nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranomaizina nony alina, dia nitondra azy nivoaka ka nanao hoe:
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
Mandehana, ka mitsangàna, ary mitoria amin’ ny vahoaka eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ny teny rehetra milaza izany fiainana izany.
21 At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
Ary rehefa nandre izany izy, dia niditra maraina koa teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ka nampianatra. Ary rehefa tonga ny mpisoronabe sy ny namany, dia nampiangona ny Synedriona sy ny loholona rehetra tamin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely izy ka naniraka nankao amin’ ny tranomaizina haka ny Apostoly.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
Fa nony tonga ny mpiandry raharaha, dia tsy nahita azy tao an-tranomaizina; dia niverina izy ka nilaza hoe:
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
Ny tranomaizina dia hitanay mihidy tsara, ary ny mpiambina mitsangana eo am-baravarana; kanefa nony novohanay, dia tsy nahita olona tao izahay.
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
Ary ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina ny tempoly sy ny lohan’ ny mpisorona, rehefa nandre izany teny izany, dia niroahana ny amin’ izay ho faran’ izany.
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Dia nisy tonga ka nilaza taminy hoe: Ireny lehilahy izay nataonareo tao an-tranomaizina ireny, dia indreo izy mitsangana eo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ka mampianatra ny olona.
26 At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
Dia lasa ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina sy ny mpiandry raharaha ka nitondra azy, nefa tsy nanao mahery, satria natahotra ny vahoaka izy, fandrao hotorahany vato.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
Ary rehefa nentiny, dia napetrany teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona ireo, ary ny mpisoronabe nanontany azy
28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
ka nanao hoe: Efa noraranay mafy dia mafy ianareo tsy hampianatra amin’ izany anarana izany; kanjo, indro, efa nofenoinareo ny fampianaranareo Jerosalema, ka tianareo hankinina aminay ny ran’ izany Lehilahy izany.
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
Fa Petera sy ny Apostoly namaly ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra no tokony hekena mihoatra noho ny olona.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
Andriamanitry ny razantsika efa nanangana an’ i Jesosy, Izay novonoin’ ny tananareo nahantonareo teo amin’ ny hazo.
31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
Izy nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Mpamonjy, hanome fibebahana sy famelan-keloka ho an’ ny Isiraely.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Ary izahay dia vavolombelon’ izany zavatra izany, ary ny Fanahy Masìna koa, Izay efa nomen’ Andriamanitra ny manaiky Azy.
33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
Ary raha nandre izany izy, dia lotika ny fony, ka nihendry hamono azy izy.
34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.
Dia nitsangana teo amin’ ny Synedriona ny Fariseo anankiray atao hoe Gamaliela, mpampiana-dalàna, izay nalaza teo amin’ ny olona rehetra, ary nasainy navoaka kely ireo olona ireo.
35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny namany: Ry lehilahy Isiraely, tandremo tsara izay hataonareo amin’ ireo olona ireo.
36 Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
Fa nitsangana fahiny Teodasy ka nanao ny tenany ho zavatra; tokony ho efa-jato no isan’ ny lehilahy izay niandany taminy; fa novonoina izy ka nihahaka izay rehetra nanaiky azy ka tonga tsinontsinona.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
Ary nanarakaraka azy indray, tamin’ ny andro nanoratana ny vahoaka, dia nitsangana Jodasy avy any Galilia; ary izy nitaona olona hikomy hanaraka azy; dia novonoina koa izy, ka nihahaka izay rehetra nanaiky azy.
38 So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.
Ary ankehitriny dia lazaiko aminareo: Mandefera amin’ ireo olona ireo, ka avelao ihany izy; fa raha avy amin’ olona izao saina na asa izao, dia ho foana;
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
fa raha avy amin’ Andriamanitra kosa izao, dia tsy ho azonareo foanana, sao dia miseho ho mpiady amin’ Andriamanitra ianareo.
40 At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Dia nanaiky azy izy; ary rehefa niantso ny Apostoly izy, dia nikapoka azy sady nandrara azy tsy hiteny amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy intsony, ary dia nandefa azy handeha.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Ary ireo dia niala teo anatrehan’ ny Synedriona, sady faly, satria natao miendrika hitondra fahafaham-baraka ho voninahitr’ izany anarana izany.
42 Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
Ary tsy nitsahatra nampianatra sy nitory an’ i Jesosy ho Kristy isan’ andro teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly sy tao an-trano izy.
