Acts 13
1 The church at Antioch had prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the childhood friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Irezao o mpitoky naho mpañòke mpiamy Fivori’ i Antiokiaio: i Barnabasy naho i Simeona natao Nigera, le i Losio nte-Kirenìa naho i Menahema (i niara-nibey amy Heroda mpanjakay) vaho i Saole.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart Barnabas and Saul to do the work I've called them to.”
Ie nitalaho amy Talè naho nililitse, le hoe i Arofo Masiñey: Aviho ho ahy t’i Barnabasy naho i Saole ho ami’ty fitoroñañe ikanjiako iareo.
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and placed their hands on them in blessing, they sent them on their way.
Aa ie nililitse naho niloloke, le nampitongoàñe fitàñe vaho nampionjoneñe mb’eo.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, directed by the Holy Spirit, went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Amy nañiraha’ i Arofo Masiñey, le nizotso mb’e Seleokia mb’eo iereo vaho nijon-dakañe mb’e Kiprosy.
5 Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their assistant.
Ie toly e Salamisy le nitaroñe i tsaran’ Añaharey amo fitontona’ o Jiosio. Tam’ iereo ka t’i Jaona ho mpiatrake.
6 They traveled throughout the island and eventually came to Paphos. There they found a Jewish magician, a false prophet by the name of Bar-jesus.
Ie niranga i toko-nosey naho nandoake Pafo añe, le nifanjò ami’ty mpañorik’ andro, mpitoki-vìlañe Jiosy atao Bar-Iesosy,
7 He was close to the governor, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. Sergius Paulus invited Barnabas and Saul to come and visit him since he wanted to hear the word of God.
nireketse amy Sergio Paolo ragova, ondaty mahilala; kinanji’ indatiy t’i Barnabasy naho i Saole fa nipay ty hijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareo.
8 But the magician Elymas (his Greek name) opposed them, trying to prevent the governor from trusting in God.
Fe natreatrè i Elima ambiasa (añara’e izay) ie nipay ty hampiamboho i ragovay tsy hiantoke.
9 Saul, also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and looked straight at him.
Nilifotse i Arofo Masiñey t’i Saole, i natao Paoliy ka, le niharefe’e t’i Elima
10 “You are full of deception and all kinds of evil, you son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right! Will you never give up perverting the Lord's true ways?
vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ty pea ze fonga famañahiañe naho fìtake, ana’ i Ratiy tìa! rafelahi’ ze atao havañonañe! Tsy mete apo’o hao ty fampikelohañ’ o lalam-banta’ i Talèo?
11 Look, the Lord's hand is on you and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for some time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell on him, and he had to find someone who could lead him by the hand.
Ingo te ama’o henaneo ty fità’ i Talè, le ho goa, tsy hahaisake i àndroy heike. Aa le nivotrak’ ama’e ami’ty manao zao ty zono naho ieñe vaho nitoantoañe mb’eo re nipay ty hitarik’ aze am-pitàñe.
12 When the governor saw what happened he trusted in God, amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
Ie nioni’ i ragovay i nanoeñey, le niantoke, toe nahavereñ’ aze ty fañòhañe i Talè.
13 Then Paul and those with him sailed from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, while John left them and went back to Jerusalem.
Aa le nijon-dakañe boake Pafo t’i Paoly naho o rañe’eo nimb’e Perga’ i Pamfilia mb’eo, fe nisitak’ am’iereo t’i Jaona nimpoly mb’e Ierosaleme añe.
14 They went through Perga and on to Antioch of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and were seated.
Ie hirike Perga le nandoak’ Antiokia’ i Pisidia, naho niheo am-pitontonañ’ ao ami’ty andro Sabotse vaho niambesatse.
15 After the readings from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent them a message saying, “Brothers, please share with the congregation any words of encouragement you may have.”
Ie nitampetse ty famakiañe i Hake naho o Mpitokio, le nampanohine’ o mpifehe’ i fitontonañeio ami’ty hoe: O roahalahio, hera aman-tsara mahaosike ondatio, le milañonà.
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand to get their attention, and began speaking. “Men of Israel, and all of you who have reverence for God, listen to me.
Niongake t’i Paoly nanondrotondro fitàñe le nanao ty hoe: Ry nte-Israeleo naho ze mpañeveñe aman’ Añahareo, mijanjiña!
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,
Jinobon’ Añahare’ ondati’ Israele retoañe o roaen-tikañeo, le nonjone’e ondatio t’ie nitaveañe ho renetane an-tane Egipte ao, vaho am-pionjonam-pità’e ty niaoloa’e iareo nienga i taney;
18 and he patiently dealt with them in the desert for about forty years.
Miha-efa-polo taoñe ty nañantoàña’e am-patrambey añe.
19 After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.
Ie rineba’e ty fifeheañe fito e Kanana ao, le natolo’e iareo i tane’ iareoy ho lova va’e efajato taoñe tsy limampolo.
20 Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.
Añe i nitaliliañey, le tinolo’e mpizaka ampara’ i Samoela mpitoky,
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
ie nihalaly mpanjaka iereo, le tinolo’e i Saole ana’ i Kisy, afe’ i Benjamina, efapolo taoñe.
22 Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’
Ie nasinta’e, le noriza’e t’i Davide ho mpanjaka’ iareo. Le hoe ty nitaroñe’e: Nitreako t’i Davide ana’ Iesesày, ondaty mañorike ty troko; hene hanoe’e o satrikoo.
23 Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.
Boak’amo tarira’ indatio, ty amy tsara’ey, ty nanesean’ Añahare am’ Israele ty Mpandrombake, Iesoà.
24 Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Taolo’ ty fiavi’e le nitseize’ i Jaona ty filiporam-pisolohoañe ho amy ze hene ondati’ Israele,
25 As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’
aa ie fa ho niheneke ty fitoroña’ i Jaona le nainai’e nanoa’e ty hoe: Atao’ areo ho ia v’iraho? Tsy ie iraho. Hehe t’ie tonjohize’ ty tsy mañeva ahy hampidraitse o hana’eo.
26 My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!
O rolongo, ana’ o tarira’ i Abraàmeo, naho ry mpañeveñe aman’ Añahare ama’ areo, ie nampihitrifañe o entam-pandrombahañe zao.
27 The people living in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize Jesus or understand the words spoken by the prophets that are read every Sabbath. In fact they fulfilled the prophetic words by condemning him!
Toe nihenefa’ o mpimoneñe e Ierosalemeo naho o mpifehe’eo, ie tsy nahafohiñ’ aze ndra ty talili’ o Mpitoky vakieñe boa-tSabatao, fe nihenefa’iareo ami’ty namàra’ iareo aze.
28 Even though they couldn't find any evidence to sentence him to death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Aa ndra te tsy nioniñe ty tali’ ty hañohofan-doza ama’e, mbe nihalalie’ iereo amy Pilato ty hamonoañe aze.
29 After they had fulfilled everything predicted that they would do to him, they took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb.
Ie hene nifonire’ iareo ze pinatetse ty ama’e, le nazotso amy hataey vaho nirohoteñe an-kibory ao,
30 But God raised him from the dead,
f’ie natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy,
31 and he appeared over the course of many days to those who had followed him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.
vaho nahaoniñe aze andro maro o nindre lia ama’e hirike Galilia pake Ierosaleme añeo. Iereo ro valolombeloñe am’ondatio henaneo.
32 We are here to bring to you the good news of the promise that God made to our forefathers,
Taroñe’ay ama’ areo i Talili-soa nampitamañe an-droaentikañey
33 that he has now fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As it is written in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’
t’ie nihenefen’ Añahare aman-tika ana’ iareo, amy nampitroara’e Iesoày. Ie i pinatetse amy Sabo faharoeiy, ty hoe: Anako irehe; Anindroany ty nisamahako azo.
34 God raised him from the dead, never to die again, as he indicated by saying, ‘I will give you what is holy and trustworthy, as I promised to David.’
Ty hatò’ t’ie nampitroare’e amy havilasiy tsy hibalike mb’am-pihomahañe ao ka, ro tsinara ami’ty hoe: Hatoloko azo o fitahiañe vantañe naho to’ i Davideo.
35 As another psalm says, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Hoe ka ty taroñe’ ty ila’e: Ho tana’o tsy hihomake i Masi’oy.
36 But David died, after he had done what God wanted in his own time, and he was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed.
I Davide, ie fa nitoroñe o mpiharo-nono ama’eo amy natoron’ Añahare azey, le nirotse naho nirohoteñe aman-droae’e ao t’ie nihomake.
37 The one God raised from the dead saw no decay.
Fe tsy nimomoke i natroan’ Añahare amy havilasiy.
38 My brothers, I want you to understand that we're telling you that through this man sins are forgiven.
Aa le mahafohina ry longo, te indatiy ro itaroñañe ty fisolohoañe amo tahiñeo,
39 Through him everyone who trusts in him is made morally right from all that is wrong—in a way that you could never be set right by the law of Moses.
le ie ro añahàñe o mpiatoo amy ze hene raha tsy nilefe’ i Hà’ i Mosèy hahàñe.
40 Make sure that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:
Mitaoa arè, kera hizò i nisaontsieñe amo Mpitokio ty hoe:
41 ‘You who are scornful, look in amazement, and die! For what I'm doing in your lifetime is something that you could never believe, even if someone told you!’”
Oniño ry mpanivetive, mañaraharà vaho mikoromaha, fa hitoloñe am-pitoloñañe amo andro’areoo iraho, fitoloñañe tsy hiantofa’ondaty, ndra te eo ty hampalange aze ama’areo.
42 As they were leaving, the people pleaded with them to tell them more the next Sabbath.
Aa ie niakatse o Jiosio, le nihalalie’ ondatio te ho lañoneñe ami’ty Sabotse here’e i tsara zay.
43 After the meeting in the synagogue, many of the Jews and the converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas who spoke with them, encouraging them to continue to hold on to the grace of God.
Ie nigadoñe i fivoriy, maro amo Jiosio naho amo mpitalaho nivalike ho Jiosio ty nañorike i Paoly naho i Barnabasy ze nitaroñe am’iereo, nañosike iareo hifahatse amy hasoan’ Añaharey.
44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town turned out to hear the word of God.
Ie amy Sabata here’ey, didý tsy i rova iabiy ty nifanontoñe hijanjiñe o tsaran’ Añahareo.
45 However, when the Jews saw the crowds, they became extremely jealous, contradicting what Paul was saying and cursing him.
Aa naho niisa’ o Jiosio i màroy, le niliforem-parahy vaho niliere’ iereo o raha nisaontsie’ i Paolio.
46 So Paul and Barnabas spoke out strongly, saying “We had to speak the word of God to you first. But now that you're rejecting it—you're deciding that you're not worthy of eternal life—well now we're turning to the foreigners. (aiōnios g166)
Nanoiñe ty hoe am-pahavaniañe t’i Paoly naho i Barnabasy: Tsy mete tsy nitaroña’ay hey i tsaran’ Añaharey, fe kanao nikihoe’ areo le nizaka-vatañe t’ie tsy mañeva i haveloñe nainai’ey, inao arè! mitolik’ amo kilakila ondatio zahay (aiōnios g166)
47 That's what the Lord has told us to do: ‘I've made you a light to the foreigners, and through you salvation will go to the ends of the earth.’”
amy nandilia’ i Talè anaiy, ty hoe: Nanoeko hazavàñe amo kilakila ‘ndatio irehe, hinday fandrombahañe sikal’ añ’ olo-ty tane toy añe.
48 When the foreigners heard this they were overjoyed, praising the Lord's word, and all those chosen for eternal life trusted in God. (aiōnios g166)
Ie jinanji’ o kilakila ondatio izay le niehake vaho niasy ty tsara’ Iehovà; vaho hene niantoke ze tinendre ho amy haveloñe nainai’ey. (aiōnios g166)
49 So God's word was spread throughout the region.
Le niboele nahatsitsike i taney ty tsara’ Iehovà.
50 But the Jews incited the prominent religious women and leaders of the city to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and had them expelled from their territory.
Fe sinigì’ o Tehodao o rakemba bey mpitalahoo naho ondaty bei’ i rovaio, le trinobo’ iereo fampisoañañe amy Paoly naho i Barnabasy vaho rinoa’ iereo amy taney.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet against them as a sign of protest, and went on to Iconium.
Aa le nabò’ iereo ama’e ty lembok’ am-pandia’ iareo naho nimb’e Ikonioma añe,
52 And the believers continued to be filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
vaho nilifotse ty ehake naho i Arofo Masiñey o mpiòkeo.
