Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Ninò’ i Saole ty nañitoañe aze. Nifototse amy andro zay ty fisamporeraham-bey amy Fivory e Ierosalemey vaho niparatsiake mb’eo mb’eo e Iehodà naho e Samaria añe iaby, naho tsy o Firàheñeo avao.
2 and devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
Nandenteke i Stefana ondaty vañoñeo vaho nipoña-pandalàñe.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
Fe nampivalitaboak’ i Fivoriy t’i Saole, nitsatsak’ anjomba, nimoake, vaho nikozozòtse ty lahy naho ampela mb’am-porozò ao.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
Aa le nitaroñe i tsaray mbeo mbeo o niparaitakeo.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Nizotso mb’ an-drova Samaria mb’eo t’i Filipo nitaroñe i Norizañey.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Songa nihaòñe’ ondatio o saontsi’ i Filipoo, ie nijanjiñe naho nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka nanoe’eo.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Nihorentseñe an-tazataza ty kokolampa tsiefa nakareñe am’ondaty nitokoe’eo, naho maro ty kombo vaho ty kepeke nijangañe.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Le firebeham-bey ty tan-drova ao.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Tamy rovay henane zay t’indaty atao Simona mpanao sahàtse, nahalatsa o nte Samariao, ie nieva ho aman’ àsiñe,
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
nihaoñe’ ze hene ondaty, ty bey naho ty kede, le nanao ty hoe: Haozaran-dra’ elahin’ añahare indaty zay.
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
Hene nañorik’ aze ondatio amy te ela ty namoreha’e amo sahàtse fanoe’eo.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—both men and women;
Aa ie niantofa’ iareo t’i Filipo amy nitaroña’e i talili-soa’ i Fifehean’Añahareiy naho ty tahina’ Iesoà Norizañey, le nilipotse: ondaty naho rakemba.
13 and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Toe niantoke ka t’i Simona le nalipotse, vaho nañorik’ i Filipo sikal’aia sikal’aia fa nilatsa t’ie nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka naho raha tsi-tantane nanoeñeo.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
Ie jinanji’ o Firàheñe e Ierosalemeo te niantoke ty tsaran’ Añahare o nte Samariao, le nañirake i Petera naho i Jaona homb’am’iereo añe.
15 who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
Ie nizotso mb’eo le nihalaly ho a’ iareo, handrambesa’e i Arofo Masiñey;
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
ie mbe tsy nivotraha’e; fa ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè avao ty nampiliporañe iareo.
17 then they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Aa le nanampeza’ i Petera naho i Jaona fitañe handrambesa’ iereo i Arofo Masiñey.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
Aa ie nioni’ i Simona te i fampitongoam-pità’ o Firaheñeoy ro nanolorañe i Arofo Masiñey le nibanabana’e drala,
19 saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
ami’ty hoe: Anoloro ahy ka o haozarañe zao soa te, ndra iaia hanampezako tañañe ro handrambe i Arofo Masiñey.
20 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
Hoe ty natoi’ i Petera aze: Hindre hikoromak’ ama’o o drala’oo kanao sinafiri’o te ho vilie’o drala ty falalàn’ Añahare!
21 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
Tsy aman’ anjara, naho tsy mitraok’ ami’ty tsara toy irehe, fa tsy vañoñe añatrefan’ Añahare ty tro’o.
22 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
Mibaboha amy haloloañey, naho misolohoa amy Iehovà, he mete ihahàñe amy fitsakorean-tro’oy,
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
amy te rendreko t’ie aman-kafairan’ afero vaho androhizan-kakeo.
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
Aa le tinoi’ i Simona ty hoe: Mihalalia amy Iehovà ho ahy, ry aba te tsy hizò ahy i nisaontsia’areoy.
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in many villages of the Samaritans.
Aa ie fa nitaroñe naho nitsey ty tsara’ Iehovà, le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo t’i Petera naho i Jaona, nitsey i talili-soay ami’ty rova maro’ o nte-Samariao.
26 And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
Ie amy zay, nitsara ty hoe amy Filipo ty anjeli’ Iehovà: Mañatimoa mb’amy lalañe mizotso hirike Ierosaleme mb’e Gaza mb’amy ratraratray mb’eoy.
27 And having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
Aa le niongake nañavelo mb’eo re, naho naheo’e ty nte Etiopia doga-lahy mpanandily bey amy Kandasie mpanjaka-ampela’ o nte Etiopiao naho mpamandroñe o vara’e iabio, ie nañavelo mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo nitalaho,
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
naho nibalike amy zao niambesatse an-tsarete’e ao namaky Isaia mpitoky.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
Le hoe i Arofoy amy Filipo, Harineo o sarete ey hoeke eio naho ireketo.
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
Nihitrike mb’eo t’i Filipo naho nahajanjiñe aze namaky Isaia mpitoky, le hoe re: Fohi’o hao o vakie’oo?
31 And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Aa hoe re, Aia ty haharendrehako naho tsy amam-panoro? Aa le nampihovàe’e hijoñe ao t’i Filipo hitrao-piambesatse.
32 And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth;
Ty hoe i nivakie’e amy Sokitse Masiñeiy: Kinozozòtse hoe añondry ho lentaen-dre, Le hambañe ami’ty fitsiña’ ty vik’añondry añatrefa’ o mpañitsik’ azeo, t’ie tsy nanoka-palie.
33 In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is taken from the earth.”
Nareke naho tsy nimean-tò; Ia ty haha-volily o tarira’eo, amy te nasitak’an-tane atoy ty havelo’e;
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
Aa hoe ty ontane’ i doga-lahiy amy Filipo: Ehe, ia ty isaontsia’ i mpitokiy, ty vata’e ke ty ila’e?
35 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
Le nanoka-palie t’i Filipo nifototse amy pinatetse amy Sokitse Masiñeiy, nitalily Iesoà.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
Ie nañavelo mb’eo, le nizo rano vaho hoe i doga-lahiy, Intia ty rano, ino ty manebañe ahy tsy halipotse?
37 [[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him;
Aa le linili’e te hitsangañe i saretey naho sindre nijoñe an-drano ao iereon-droroe, i doga-lahiy naho i Filipo, vaho nalipo’e.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
Ie nitroatse amy ranoy le nampihelañe’ i Arofo Masiñey añe t’i Filipo vaho tsy nioni’ i doga-lahiy ka, fe tinonjohi’e an-drebeke i lia’ey.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
Nizoeñe Azota añe t’i Filipo; le niranga mb’eo re nitolom-pitaroñe i talili-soay amy ze hene rova ampara’ t’ie nandoak’ e Kaisaria añe.
