< Acts 15 >

1 AND certain men which came down from Judæa taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Ary ny olona sasany izay nidina avy tany Jodia nampianatra ny rahalahy hoe: Raha tsy forana araka ny fanaon’ i Mosesy ianareo, dia tsy azo vonjena.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
Ary rehefa nifanditra sy niady hevitra be ihany tamin’ ireo Paoly sy Barnabasy, dia nifanarahana ny hiakaran’ izy roa lahy sy ny sasany koa hankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ ny Apostoly sy ny loholona hanadina izany teny niadian-kevitra izany.
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
Ary rehefa nanatitra azy ny fiangonana, dia nandeha namaky an’ i Foinika sy Samaria izy ka nilaza ny niovan’ ny jentilisa; dia nampifaly ny rahalahy rehetra indrindra izy.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Jerosalema izy, dia noraisin’ ny fiangonana sy ny Apostoly ary ny loholona, ka dia nilaza izay rehetra efa nataon’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny nombany azy.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Fa ny mino sasany, izay isan’ ny antokon’ ny Fariseo kosa, dia nitsangana ka nanao hoe: Tsy maintsy forana ireny ka asaina mitandrina ny lalàn’ i Mosesy.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
Ary dia nivory ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mba hihevitra izany zavatra izany.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Ary rehefa nisy ady hevitra be ihany, dia nitsangana Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry rahalahy, fantatrareo fa hatramin’ ny ela Andriamanitra dia efa nifidy teo aminareo fa amin’ ny vavako no handrenesan’ ny jentilisa ny tenin’ ny filazantsara ka hinoany.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
Ary Andriamanitra, Izay mahalala ny fo, dia vavolombelony tamin’ ny nanomezany azy ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
fa tsy nataony misy hafa isika sy izy, fa nodioviny tamin’ ny finoana ny fony.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Koa nahoana ianareo no maka fanahy an’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fametrahanareo zioga amin’ ny vozon’ ny mpianatra, izay tsy zakan’ ny razantsika na isika ho entina?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Fa mino isika fa ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Tompo no hamonjena antsika, dia tahaka ny azy ihany koa.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Dia nangina ny olona rehetra ka nihaino an’ i Barnabasy sy Paoly, izay nilaza ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana nampanaovin’ Andriamanitra azy tany amin’ ny jentilisa.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Ary rehefa nitsahatra tsy niteny izy roa lahy, dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Ry rahalahy, mihainoa ahy:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Simeona efa nanambara izay nitsinjovan’ Andriamanitra ny jentilisa tamin’ ny voalohany hanalany olona aminy hankalazana ny anarany.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Ary mifanaraka amin’ izany ny tenin’ ny mpaminany, araka ny voasoratra hoe:
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Rehefa afaka izany, dia hiverina Aho Ka hanangana ny trano-lain’ i Davida izay efa nianjera; Ary hanangana izay efa rava ao Aho Ka hanamboatra azy indray;
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Mba hitady ny Tompo ny olona sisa sy ny jentilisa rehetra, Izay efa niantsoana ny anarako, hoy Jehovah,
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
Izay manao izany zavatra fantatra hatramin’ ny voalohany indrindra izany. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Koa dia izao no hevitro: Tsy mety raha isika manome fahasahiranana ny avy amin’ ny jentilisa izay miverina ho amin’ Andriamanitra;
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
fa aoka hanoratra epistily aminy isika mba hifadiany ny hena fahavetavetana aterina amin’ ny sampy sy ny fijangajangana ary ny zavatra kendaina sy ny rà.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
Fa hatramin’ ny razana fahiny dia manana izay mitory azy ao amin’ ny isan-tanàna Mosesy, fa vakina ao amin’ ny synagoga rehetra isan-tSabata ny teniny.
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
Ary sitraky ny Apostoly sy ny loholona mbamin’ ny fiangonana rehetra ny hifidy olona amin’ ny namany mba hirahina hiaraka amin’ i Paoly sy Barnabasy hankany Antiokia, dia Joda, izay atao hoe Barnabasy, sy Silasy, izay lehilahy samy tsara laza eo amin’ ny rahalahy;
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
ary nanoratra taratasy izy ho entin’ ireo, dia izao: Ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy loholona miarahaba ny rahalahy avy amin’ ny jentilisa izay any Antiokia sy Syria ary Kilikia.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Satria efa renay fa ny sasany izay avy tany aminay efa nanao teny nampitabataba anareo ka namadika ny sainareo, kanefa tsy nasainay nanao izany izy,
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
dia sitrakay, rehefa nifanara-kevitra, ny hifidy olona hirahina hankatỳ aminareo hiaraka amin’ i Barnabasy sy Paoly malalanay,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
lehilahy izay nanao ny ainy tsy ho zavatra ho voninahitry ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
Dia nirahinay Joda sy Silasy, sady hilaza vava izany teny izany koa izy.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Fa sitraky ny Fanahy Masìna sy izahay tsy hampitondra enta-mavesatra anareo afa-tsy izao zavatra tsy maintsy hotandremana izao ihany:
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
dia ny hifadianareo ny hena aterina amin’ ny sampy sy ny rà sy ny zavatra kendaina ary ny fijangajangana; raha mahatandrin-tena hifady izany ianareo, dia ho soa. Veloma ianareo.
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
Ary rehefa nalefany izy ireo, dia nidina nankany Antiokia; ary namory ny olona maro izy, dia natolony ilay epistily.
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Ary nony efa namaky izany ny olona, dia nifaly noho ny anatra tsara.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
Ary satria mpaminany Joda sy Silasy, dia namporisika ny rahalahy tamin’ ny teny maro izy ka nampahery azy.
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
Ary rehefa nitoetra elaela teo izy ireo, dia nampandehanin’ ny rahalahy soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ izay naniraka azy.
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Ary Paoly sy Barnabasy kosa nitoetra tany Antiokia; dia nampianatra sy nitory ny tenin’ ny Tompo izy roa lahy mbamin’ ny maro koa.
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
Ary rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy, dia hoy Paoly tamin’ i Barnabasy: Andeha isika hiverina hamangy ny rahalahy any amin’ ny tanàna rehetra izay efa nitoriantsika ny tenin’ ny Tompo, hahitantsika izay toetrany.
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Ary tian’ i Barnabasy ny hitondra an’ i Jaona, izay atao hoe Marka, hiaraka aminy.
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Nefa nataon’ i Paoly fa tsy tokony ho entiny miaraka aminy izy, satria nandao azy tany Pamfylia ka tsy niaraka taminy ho any amin’ ny raharaha.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
Ary nifanditra mafy izy roa lahy ka nisaraka; ary Barnabasy nitondra an’ i Marka, dia niondrana an-tsambo nankany Kyprosy.
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
Fa Paoly kosa nifidy an’ i Silasy, dia niainga, rehefa natolotry ny rahalahy ho amin’ ny fahasoavan’ ny Tompo izy.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
Dia nandeha namaky an’ i Syria sy Kilikia izy nampahery ny fiangonana tany.
