Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea 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 to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Nandenteke i Stefana ondaty vañoñeo vaho nipoña-pandalàñe.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering house after house, and dragging both men and women, committed them to prison.
Fe nampivalitaboak’ i Fivoriy t’i Saole, nitsatsak’ anjomba, nimoake, vaho nikozozòtse ty lahy naho ampela mb’am-porozò ao.
4 Now those that had been scattered abroad went through the country preaching the word.
Aa le nitaroñe i tsaray mbeo mbeo o niparaitakeo.
5 And Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ.
Nizotso mb’ an-drova Samaria mb’eo t’i Filipo nitaroñe i Norizañey.
6 And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he wrought.
Songa nihaòñe’ ondatio o saontsi’ i Filipoo, ie nijanjiñe naho nahaisake o viloñe fanjaka nanoe’eo.
7 For from many that had unclean spirits came they out crying with a loud voice; and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were cured.
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 But before their arrival a certain man, named Simon, was in the city, a man practising sorcery, and amazing the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was some great person;
Tamy rovay henane zay t’indaty atao Simona mpanao sahàtse, nahalatsa o nte Samariao, ie nieva ho aman’ àsiñe,
10 to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the Power of God, which is called Great.
nihaoñe’ ze hene ondaty, ty bey naho ty kede, le nanao ty hoe: Haozaran-dra’ elahin’ añahare indaty zay.
11 And to him they gave heed, because they had for a long time been amazed by his sorceries.
Hene nañorik’ aze ondatio amy te ela ty namoreha’e amo sahàtse fanoe’eo.
12 But when they believed Philip, publishing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, 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 baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed when he beheld the miracles and signs which were wrought.
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 at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John;
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 for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
Ie nizotso mb’eo le nihalaly ho a’ iareo, handrambesa’e i Arofo Masiñey;
16 For it had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been baptized 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 laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Aa le nanampeza’ i Petera naho i Jaona fitañe handrambesa’ iereo i Arofo Masiñey.
18 But Simon, seeing that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, offered them money,
Aa ie nioni’ i Simona te i fampitongoam-pità’ o Firaheñeoy ro nanolorañe i Arofo Masiñey le nibanabana’e drala,
19 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay my 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 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with 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 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Tsy aman’ anjara, naho tsy mitraok’ ami’ty tsara toy irehe, fa tsy vañoñe añatrefan’ Añahare ty tro’o.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if haply the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
Mibaboha amy haloloañey, naho misolohoa amy Iehovà, he mete ihahàñe amy fitsakorean-tro’oy,
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
amy te rendreko t’ie aman-kafairan’ afero vaho androhizan-kakeo.
24 And Simon answering said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.
Aa le tinoi’ i Simona ty hoe: Mihalalia amy Iehovà ho ahy, ry aba te tsy hizò ahy i nisaontsia’areoy.
25 They then, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and publishing the glad tidings 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 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert way.
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 he arose and went; and lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a high officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and 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 was returning and sitting in 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 join thyself to this chariot.
Le hoe i Arofoy amy Filipo, Harineo o sarete ey hoeke eio naho ireketo.
30 And Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Well, but dost thou understand what thou art reading?
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, How can I, unless some one shall guide me? And he invited Philip to come up and 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 scripture which he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he openeth not 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 judgment was refused him; and who shall describe his generation? for his life is taken away 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 said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? Of himself, or of some other man?
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 opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture declared to him the glad tidings concerning Jesus.
Le nanoka-palie t’i Filipo nifototse amy pinatetse amy Sokitse Masiñeiy, nitalily Iesoà.
36 And as they went along the road, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch saith, See, here is water; what is there to hinder my being baptized?
Ie nañavelo mb’eo, le nizo rano vaho hoe i doga-lahiy, Intia ty rano, ino ty manebañe ahy tsy halipotse?
38 And he commanded that the chariot should stop; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized 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 But when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went 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 But Philip was found at Azotus; and passing through, he published the glad tidings in all the cities, till he came 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.
