Acts 9
1 And Saul yet breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of ye Lord, went vnto the hie Priest,
Ary Saoly mbola nifofofofo fandrahonana sy famonoana tamin’ ny mpianatry ny Tompo ihany, dia nankao amin’ ny mpisoronabe izy
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem.
ka nangataka taratasy taminy ho any amin’ ny synagoga any Damaskosy, mba ho entiny mifatotra ho any Jerosalema izay rehetra hitany momba izany fampianarana izany, na lahy na vavy.
3 Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen.
Ary raha nandeha izy, dia tonga teo akaikin’ i Damaskosy; ary nisy mazava avy tany an-danitra nanelatretatra tampoka manodidina azy;
4 And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
dia lavo tamin’ ny tany izy ka nandre feo nanao taminy hoe: Saoly, Saoly, nahoana ianao no manenjika Ahy?
5 And he sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
Ary hoy izy: Iza moa ianao, Tompoko? Dia hoy Izy: Izaho no Jesosy Izay enjehinao;
6 He then both trembling and astonied, sayd, Lord, what wilt thou that I doe? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise and goe into the citie, and it shall be tolde thee what thou shalt doe.
fa mitsangàna, ka mankanesa ho any an-tanàna, dia holazaina aminao izay mety hataonao.
7 The men also which iourneyed with him, stood amased, hearing his voyce, but seeing no man.
Ary ny olona izay nomba azy tamin’ ny nalehany dia nitsangana tsy nahateny, ary nandre ny feo izy, nefa tsy nahita olona.
8 And Saul arose from the ground, and opened his eyes, but sawe no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus,
Ary Saoly nitsangana tamin’ ny tany, ary rehefa nahirany ny masony, dia tsy nahita na inona na inona izy; ary ireo nitantana azy ka nitondra azy ho any Damaskosy.
9 Where he was three dayes without sight, and neither ate nor dranke.
Ary tsy nahita izy hateloana sady tsy nihinana na nisotro.
10 And there was a certaine disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him sayd the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he sayd, Beholde, I am here Lord.
Ary nisy mpianatra anankiray tany Damaskosy, atao hoe Ananiasy; ary hoy ny Tompo taminy tamin’ ny fahitana: Ry Ananiasy. Dia hoy izy: Inty aho, Tompoko.
11 Then the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise, and goe into the streete which is called Straight, and seeke in the house of Iudas after one called Saul of Tarsus: for beholde, he prayeth.
Ary hoy ny Tompo taminy: Mitsangàna, ka mandehana any amin’ ny lalana atao hoe Imahitsy, ka izahao ao an-tranon’ i Jodasy izay lehilahy atao hoe Saoly avy any Tarsosy; fa, indro, efa mivavaka izy;
12 (And he sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.)
ary izy efa nahita lehilahy atao hoe Ananiasy niditra ka nametra-tanana taminy, mba hahiratra indray ny masony.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, howe much euill hee hath done to thy saints at Hierusalem.
Ary Ananiasy namaly hoe: Tompoko, efa reko tamin’ ny maro ny haben’ ny ratsy nataon’ izany lehilahy izany tamin’ ny olonao masìna tany Jerosalema.
14 Moreouer here hee hath authoritie of the hie Priestes, to binde all that call on thy Name.
Ary manana fahefanay koa avy tamin’ ny mpisoronabe izy hamatotra izay rehetra miantso ny anaranao.
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel.
Fa hoy ny Tompo taminy: Mandehana, fa fanaka voafidy izy ho fitondrana ny anarako eo anatrehan’ ny jentilisa sy ny mpanjaka ary ny Zanak’ isiraely;
16 For I will shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake.
fa hasehoko azy ny habetsahan’ izay tsy maintsy hiaretany ho voninahitry ny anarako.
17 Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.
Ary nandeha Ananiasy ka niditra tao an-trano, dia nametra-tanana taminy ka nanao hoe Ry Saoly rahalahy, ny Tompo, dia Jesosy Izay niseho taminao teo amin’ ny lalana nalehanao, no efa naniraka ahy, mba hahiratan’ ny masonao, ary mba ho feno ny Fanahy Masìna ianao.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized,
Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nisy zavatra toy ny kiran’ ny hazandrano niala avy tamin’ ny masony, dia nahiratra izy ka nitsangana, dia natao batisa;
19 And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.
ary nihinan-kanina izy ka dia natanjaka. Ary Saoly nitoetra andro vitsivitsy teo amin’ ny mpianatra tany Damaskosy.
20 And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God,
Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nitory teo amin’ ny synagoga izy ka nilaza an’ i Jesosy fa Zanak’ Andriamanitra.
21 So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie Priests?
Ary talanjona izay rehetra nandre ka nanao hoe: Tsy ity va ilay nandringana izay niantso izany anarana izany tany Jerosalema? ary tongay koa izy mba hitondra azy mifatotra ho any amin’ ny mpisoronabe.
22 But Saul encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ.
Ary Saoly mainka nihahery, dia nandresy lahatra ny Jiosy izay nonina tany Damaskosy ka naneho marimarina fa Jesosy no Kristy.
23 And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him,
Ary rehefa afaka andro maromaro, dia nihendry hamono azy ny Jiosy;
24 But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
nefa fantatr’ i Saoly ny fihendreny. Ary izy ireo niambina ny vavahady andro aman’ alina hamonoany azy.
25 Then the disciples tooke him by night, and put him through the wall, and let him downe by a rope in a basket.
Fa ny mpianany naka azy nony alina ka nampidina azy tamin’ ny sobiky avy eo amin’ ny mànda.
26 And when Saul was come to Hierusalem, he assayed to ioyne himselfe with the disciples: but they were all afrayd of him, and beleeued not that he was a disciple.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Jerosalema Saoly, dia nitady hiray tamin’ ny mpianatra; fa izy rehetra natahotra azy ka tsy nino azy ho mpianatra.
27 But Barnabas tooke him, and brought him to the Apostles, and declared to them, howe hee had seene the Lord in the way, and that hee had spoken vnto him, and how he had spoken boldly at Damascus in the Name of Iesus.
Fa Barnabasy naka azy ka nitondra azy ho any amin’ ny Apostoly, dia nanambara taminy ny nahitany ny Tompo sy ny nitenenany taminy teny an-dalana ary ny fahasahiany nitory ny anaran’ i Jesosy tany Damaskosy.
28 And hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem,
Ary izy niara-niditra sy nivoaka tamin’ ireo tany Jerosalema,
29 And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
sady nitory tamin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo tamin’ ny fahasahiana ary niresaka sy niady hevitra tamin’ ny Helenista; fa ireny nitady hahafaty azy.
30 But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Ary rehefa fantatry ny rahalahy izany, dia nentiny nidina nankany Kaisaria izy ka nampandehaniny ho any Tarsosy.
31 Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost.
Dia nanam-piadanana ny fiangonana eran’ i Jodia sy Galilia ary Samaria rehetra, sady nandroso tsara sy nandeha tamin’ ny fahatahorana ny Tompo sy ny famporisihan’ ny Fanahy ka nihamaro.
32 And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Ary raha nandeha nitety ny tany rehetra Petera, dia nidina ho any amin’ ny olona masìna nonina tany Lyda koa.
33 And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie.
Ary izy nahita lehilahy anankiray teo, atao hoe Enea, izay efa nandry valo taona teo am-parafara, fa mararin’ ny paralysisa.
34 Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.
Ary hoy Petera taminy: Ry Enea, manasitrana anao Jesosy Kristy; mitsangàna, ka amboary ny fandrianao. Dia nitsangana niaraka tamin’ izay izy.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord.
Ary nahita azy izay rehetra nonina tany Lyda sy Sarôna, ka dia niverina ho amin’ ny Tompo.
36 There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which she did.
Ary tany Jopa nisy vehivavy mpianatra atao hoe Tabita, izany hoe, raha adika, Dorkasy; ary be ny asa soa sy ny fiantrana izay nataon’ izany vehivavy izany.
37 And it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber.
Ary narary izy tamin’ izany andro izany, ka dia maty; ary rehefa nampandroiny ny faty, dia napetrany tao an-trano ambony.
38 Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them.
Ary satria Lyda akaikin’ i Jopa, ary ny mpianatra nandre fa efa tonga ao Petera, dia naniraka roa lahy izy hangataka azy hoe: Aza misalasala hankatỳ aminay.
39 Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Dia nitsangana Petera ka nandeha niaraka taminy. Ary nony tonga izy, dia nentiny tany an-trano ambony; ary ny mpitondratena rehetra nitsangana teo anilany ka nitomany sady nampiseho ny akanjo sy lamba izay nozairin’ i Dorkasy fony fahavelony.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp.
Ary navoak’ i Petera avokoa izy rehetra, dia nandohalika izy ka nivavaka; ary nitodika nanatrika ny faty izy ka nanao hoe: Ry Tabita, mitsangàna. Dia nahirany ny masony; ary raha nahita an’ i Petera izy, dia niarina.
41 Then he gaue her the hand and lift her vp, and called the Saints and widowes, and restored her aliue.
Ary Petera nanolo-tanana azy ka nanangana azy; ary rehefa niantso ny olona masìna sy ny mpitondratena izy, dia nanolotra azy velona.
42 And it was knowen throughout all Ioppa, and many beleeued in the Lord.
Ary dia fantatra eran’ i Jopa izany, ka maro no nino ny Tompo.
43 And it came to passe that he taried many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a Tanner.
Ary Petera nitoetra andro maromaro tany Jopa tao amin’ i Simona mpandon-koditra.
