Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Ry Teofilo, ilay boky voalohany dia nosoratako ny amin’ izay nataon’ i Jesosy sy nampianariny,
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
hatramin’ ny andro nampiakarana Azy, rehefa nodidiany tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna ny Apostoly izay nofidiny,
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
sady niseho koa tamin’ ny famantarana maro taorian’ ny nijaliany fa velona Izy, ka niseho taminy efa-polo andro Izy ary nilaza ny amin’ ny fanjakan’ Andriamanitra.
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Ary raha niara-niangona teo aminy Jesosy, dia namepetra azy tsy hiala an’ i Jerosalema, fa hiandry ny teny fikasan’ ny Ray, izay efa renareo tamiko, hoy Izy;
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
fa Jaona nanao batisa tamin’ ny rano; fa ianareo kosa hatao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna, rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Koa izay tafangona teo dia nanontany Azy hoe: Tompoko, amin’ izao va no hampodianao ny fanjakana ho amin’ ny Isiraely?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Fa hoy kosa Izy taminy: Tsy anareo ny hahalala ny andro na ny fotoana izay efa notendren’ ny Ray amin’ ny fahefany ihany.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Fa hahazo hery ianareo amin’ ny hilatsahan’ ny Fanahy Masìna aminareo, ary ho vavolombeloko any Jerosalema sy eran’ i Jodia sy Samaria ary hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Ary rehefa nilaza izany Jesosy, dia nakarina Izy, raha mbola nijery izy ireo; ary nisy rahona nitondra Azy, ka tsy hitan’ ny masony intsony Izy.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Ary raha mbola nandinika ny lanitra izy ireo tamin’ ny nandehanan’ i Jesosy, indreo, nisy roa lahy teo anilany niakanjo akanjo fotsy,
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
izay nanao hoe: Ry lehilahy Galiliana, nahoana no mijanona eto mijery ny lanitra ianareo? iny Jesosy Izay nampiakarina niala taminareo ho any an-danitra iny dia mbola ho avy tahaka ny nahitanareo Azy niakatra ho any an-danitra.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Ary izy ireo niverina tany Jerosalema, rehefa avy teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra atao hoe Oliva, izay akaikin’ i Jerosalema (araka izay mety haleha amin’ ny Sabata).
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Ary rehefa tafiditra izy, dia niakatra ho any an-trano ambony, izay fitoerany, ― dia Petera sy Jaona sy Jakoba sy Andrea, Filipo sy Tomasy, Bartolomeo sy Matio, Jakoba zanak’ i Alfeo, sy Simona Zelota ary Jodasy, zanak’ i Jakoba.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Ireo rehetra ireo niray saina naharitra nivavaka mbamin’ ny vehivavy sy Maria, renin’ i Jesosy, ary ny rahalahiny.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nitsangana teo afovoan’ ny rahalahy Petera (tokony ho roa-polo amby zato no isan’ ny olona vory teo) ka nanao hoe:
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
Ry rahalahy, tsy maintsy notanterahina ilay tenin’ ny Soratra Masìna nampilazain’ ny Fanahy Masìna rahateo an’ i Davida ny amin’ i Jodasy, izay tonga mpitarika ny olona nisambotra an’ i Jesosy;
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
fa izy dia isantsika ihany ka nahazo anjara tamin’ izao fanompoana izao koa.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Koa izany lehilahy izany dia nahazo saha tamin’ ny tambin’ ny fahotany; ary potraka niankohoka izy, dia vaky ny kibony ka nipoaka sady nivaroraka avokoa ny tsinainy.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
Ary fantatr’ izay rehetra monina eto Jerosalema izany, ka ny anaran’ izany saha izany amin’ ny fiteniny dia atao hoe Akeldama, izany hoe Sahan-drà.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Fa voasoratra eo amin’ ny Bokin’ ny Salamo hoe: Aoka ho lao ny fonenany, Ary aoka tsy hisy olona honina ao; ary koa: Aoka ho lasan’ olon-kafa ny anjara-raharahany.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Koa amin’ ireo lehilahy niaraka teto amintsika mandrakariva ireo, raha niditra sy nivoaka tamintsika Jesosy Tompo,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
hatramin’ ny batisan’ i Jaona ka hatramin’ ny andro nampiakarana Azy niala tamintsika, dia tokony hisy anankiray ho namantsika mba ho vavolombelon’ ny nitsanganany.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Ary nanokana roa lahy izy, dia Josefa, atao hoe Barsabasy, izay atao hoe koa Josto, ary Matia.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Dia nivavaka izy ka nanao hoe: Hianao, Tompo ô, Izay mahalala ny fon’ ny olona rehetra, asehoy izay nofidinao amin’ izy roa lahy ireto,
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
mba hahazoany anjara amin’ izao fanompoana sy ny mah’ Apostoly izao, izay nialan’ i Jodasy hankanesany any amin’ ny fitoerany.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Dia nanao filokana ho azy izy, ka latsaka tamin’ i Matia ny filokana; ary izy no lany ho isan’ ny Apostoly iraika ambin’ ny folo lahy.
