Acts 8
1 And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad thorowe the regions of Iudea and of Samaria, except the Apostles.
Ary Saoly mba nankasitraka ny namonoana azy koa. Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nisy fanenjehana mafy tamin’ ny fiangonana tany Jerosalema; ka dia niely teny amin’ ny tany Jodia sy Samaria izy rehetra, afa-tsy ny Apostoly ihany.
2 Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him.
Ary mpivavaka tsara no nandevina an’ i Stefana sady nisaona azy fatratra.
3 But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison.
Fa Saoly nampahory mafy ny fiangonana, ka nidirany isan-trano sady nosarihany, na ny lehilahy na ny vehivavy, ka nataony tao an-tranomaizina.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde.
Ary izay niely dia nandeha nitory teny tontolo eny.
5 Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
Ary Filipo nidina tany an-tanàna any Samaria ka nitory an’ i Kristy tamin’ ny olona tao.
6 And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Ary ny vahoaka betsaka dia niray hevitra nihaino izay nolazain’ i Filipo, raha nandre azy sy nahita ny fahagagana nataony.
7 For vncleane spirits crying with a loud voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, were healed.
Fa ny fanahy maloto niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery, dia nivoaka tamin’ ny maro izay nanana azy; ary maro ny mararin’ ny paralysisa sy ny mandringa no nositraniny.
8 And there was great ioy in that citie.
Dia nisy fifaliana lehibe tao amin’ izany tanàna izany.
9 And there was before in the citie a certaine man called Simon, which vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himselfe was some great man.
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray rahateo teo an-tanàna, atao hoe Simona, izay nanao ody ka nahatalanjona ny olona tany Samaria sady nandoka tena nanao azy ho zavatra;
10 To whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God.
ary nihaino azy ny olona rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, ka nanao hoe: Ity lehilahy ity no herin’ Andriamanitra, izay atao hoe hery lehibe.
11 And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Ary nihaino azy ny olona, satria efa ela no talanjona tamin’ ny odiny.
12 But assoone as they beleeued Philip, which preached the thinges that concerned the kingdome of God, and the Name of Iesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.
Ary rehefa nino an’ i Filipo nitory ny teny soa mahafaly ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra sy ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy ireo, dia natao batisa avokoa na lahy na vavy.
13 Then Simon himselfe beleeued also and was baptized, and continued with Philippe, and wondred, when he sawe the signes and great miracles which were done.
Ary Simona koa mba nino; ary rehefa natao batisa izy, dia nanaraka an’ i Filipo. Ary talanjona izy, raha nahita ny famantarana sy ny asa lehibe izay natao.
14 Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.
Ary nony ren’ ny Apostoly tany Jerosalema fa Samaria efa nandray ny tenin’ Andriamanitra, dia naniraka an’ i Petera sy Jaona izy hankany aminy.
15 Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost.
Nony tafidina tany izy roa lahy, dia nivavaka ho an’ ny olona mba handraisany ny Fanahy Masìna.
16 (For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.)
Fa tsy mbola nisy nilatsahany izy na dia iray akory aza; fa natao batisa tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Tompo ihany izy.
17 Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost.
Ary izy roa lahy nametra-tanana taminy, ka dia nandray ny Fanahy Masìna ireo.
18 And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money,
Ary Simona, nony nahita fa ny fametrahan’ ny Apostoly tanana no nanomezana ny Fanahy Masìna, dia nitondra vola homena azy
19 Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost.
ka nanao hoe: Omeo izany fahefana izany koa aho, mba handray ny Fanahy Masìna izay olona hametrahako tanana.
20 Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money.
Fa hoy Petera taminy: Aoka ho very mbamin’ ny tenanao ny volanao, satria nataonao fa azo vidim-bola ny fanomezan’ Andriamanitra.
21 Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God.
Tsy manana anjara na raharaha amin’ izany zavatra izany ianao, satria tsy mahitsy fo eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee.
Koa mibebaha amin’ izao haratsianao izao, ka mangataha amin’ ny Tompo, andrao mba havelany izay noheverin’ ny fonao.
23 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie.
Fa hitako fa mbola mitoetra amin’ ny fangidian’ afero sy ny fehin-keloka ihany ianao.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
Ary Simona namaly ka nanao hoe: Mangataha ho ahy amin’ ny Tompo, mba tsy ho tonga amiko izay nolazainareo.
25 So they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many townes of the Samaritans.
Ary rehefa nanambara sy nitory ny tenin’ ny Tompo Petera sy Jaona, dia niverina nankany Jerosalema ka nitory ny filazantsara teny amin’ ny vohitra maro izay an’ ny Samaritana.
26 Then the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe towarde the South vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is waste.
Ary nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo nilaza tamin’ i Filipo ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna, ka mandehana mianatsimo ho any amin’ ny lalana midìna avy any Jerosalema mankany Gaza; dia efitra izany.
27 And hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship:
Dia nitsangana izy ka lasa nandeha; ary, indro, nisy lehilahy Etiopiana, tandapan’ i Kandasy, mpanjakavavin’ ny Etiopiana, sady mpitahiry ny hareny rehetra, ary tonga tany Jerosalema izy mba hivavaka;
28 And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet.
dia nody izy ka nipetraka teo anatin’ ny kalesiny ary namaky teny tao amin’ Isaia mpaminany
29 Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
Dia hoy ny Fanahy tamin’ i Filipo: Andeha manatona ka mankanesa amin’ io kalesy io.
30 And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
Ary Filipo nihazakazaka nankeo aminy, dia nandre azy mamaky teny tao amin’ Isaia mpaminany, ka niteny taminy hoe: Moa fantatrao va izay vakinao?
31 And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him.
Fa hoy izy: Hataoko ahoana no fahay, raha tsy misy mampianatra ahy? Ary izy nangataka an’ i Filipo hiakatra sy hipetraka eo aminy.
32 Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.
Ary izao no tenin’ ny Soratra Masìna novakiny: Nentina hovonoina tahaka ny ondry Izy, Ary tsy niloa-bava, Tahaka ny zanak’ ondry moana eo anoloan’ ny mpanety azy;
33 In his humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Ny fietren-tena no nanaovana Azy resy lahatra; Ary iza no hahalaza ny amin’ ny niara-belona taminy? Fa ny ainy nesorina tamin’ ny tany.
34 Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?
Ary ilay tandapa namaly an’ i Filipo ka nanao hoe: Masona ianao, iza moa no lazain’ ny mpaminany amin’ izany? Ny tenany va, sa olon-kafa?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.
Ary Filipo niloa-bava, dia nanomboka teo amin’ izany Soratra Masìna izany nitory an’ i Jesosy taminy.
36 And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized?
Ary raha nandeha teny an-dalana izy, dia tonga teo amin’ izay nisy rano; ary hoy ilay tandapa: Indro rano, ka inona moa no misakana ahy tsy hatao batisa?
37 And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God.
38 Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him.
Dia nasainy najanona ny kalesy; ary izy roa lahy, dia Filipo sy ilay tandapa, nidina ho eo amin’ ny rano; dia nataony batisa izy.
39 And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing.
Ary rehefa niakatra avy teo amin’ ny rano izy roa lahy, dia nentin’ ny Fanahin’ ny Tompo Filipo ka tsy hitan’ ilay tandapa intsony; fa nandeha tamin’ ny nalehany izy sady nifaly.
40 But Philippe was found at Azotus, and he walked to and from preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
Fa Filipo hita tany Azota, dia nitory ny filazantsara tany amin’ ny tanàna rehetra izay nalehany ambara-pahatongany tany Kaisaria.
