Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Nindre nionjomb’añ’anjomban’ Añahare mb’eo amy ora fitalahoañe amy siveiy t’i Petera naho i Jaona.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Le teo ty lahilahy nitakoneñe, nikepeke boak’ ami’ty nahatoly aze, ie natobòke boak’ andro an-dalam-bei’ i anjomban’ Añaharey atao ty hoe Fanjàka eo, nihalaly falalàñe amo mizilik’ añ’ anjomban’ Añahareo.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Ie nahaoniñe te hizilik’ amy anjombay t’i Petera naho i Jaona, le nihalalia’e falalàñe.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Fe nitalahare’ i Petera naho i Jaona, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Mivazohoa mb’etoa.
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Le nihaoñe’e fa nitama raha.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Le hoe t’i Petera: Tsy amam-bolafoty ndra volamena iraho, fe homeiko azo ze amako: Ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà nte Nazareta Norizañey, Midraidraita!
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
le rinambe’e ty fitàn-kavana’e naho nongaha’e vaho nihafatratse amy zao o fandia’e naho fange’eo.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Le nitsamboan-dre naho nitrahañe vaho nitsontike le niharo fizilik’ am’ iereo mb’añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao, mbore nijohañe mbore nitambòtrake vaho nibango an’Andrianañahare.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Naho nioni’ i lahialeñey t’ie nitrantràñe, nisabo an’ Andrianañahare,
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
naho naharendreke i nikonenake nihalaly falalàñe an-dalam-bey Fanjàka’ i anjomban’ Añahareiy, le niveren-draha naho nilatsa amy nanoañey.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Nireketse amy Petera naho i Jaona i nikepeke nampijangañeñey, le nilay mb’ am’ iereo amy kiririsa atao: A i Solomonay mb’eo ze hene ondaty, fa lifo-kavereñañe.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Ie nirendre’ i Petera, le nilañona’e ty hoe am’ondatio: Ry nte Israeleo, ino ty ilatsà’ areo o raha zao? ino ty isambà’ areo anay hoe te zahay, ami’ty haozara’ay naho ami’ty havañona’ay, ro nampanjotike t’indaty toy?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
I Andrianañahare’ i Abraàme naho Isaka vaho Iakobe, i Andrianañaharen-droaentikañey, ro mandrenge Iesoà mpitoro’e nasese naho nifarie’ areo añatrefa’ i Pilato, ie fa nisafiry ty hamotsotse aze.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Tineti’ areo i Masiñe naho Vañoñey naho nihalaly te hahàñe ama’ areo ty mpamono,
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
vaho vinono’ areo i Rañandrian-kaveloñey, f’ie natroan’ Añahare an-kavilasy; valolombeloñe zahay.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Ty fatokisa’e amy tahina’ey ty nampaozare’ i tahina’ey ondaty isa’ areo naho fohi’ areoo; eka, ty fatokisañe ama’e ty naha-arimoen-kajanganañ’ aze añatrefa’ areo iaby.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Ie amy zao, ry longo, fantako te namoea’ areo i nanoe’ areoy—hambañe amy nanoe’ o bei’ areoo.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
F’ie ty nañenefan’ Añahare o nitaroñe’e am-palie’ ze fonga mpitoky haehaeo, te tsi-mahay tsy hijale i Noriza’ey.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Misolohoa arè, mipolia, soa te ho faoheñe o tahi’ areoo, naho hitotsake boak’ am-piatrefa’ Iehovà ty san-kanintsiñe,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
vaho hirahe’e t’Iesoà, i Norizañe tinendre ho anahareoy,
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
ze tsi-mete tsy ho tanañe an-dikerañe ao hey ampara’ ty sam-pañavaoañe ze he’e tsinaran’ Añahare am-palie’ ze hene mpitoky masiñe boak’ am-pifotora’ ty voatse toy. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Fa hoe t’i Mosè: Mpitoky hambañ’amako ty hatroa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare boak’ amo longo’areoo; janjiño ze hene ho saontsie’e ama’areo.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Le hifetsake te haitoañe am’ ondati’eo ze tsy mañaoñe i Mpitokiy.
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Eka, songa nitoky o andro zao ze mpitoky nisaontsy mifototse amy Samoela vaho o nanonjohio.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Inahareo ro tarira’ o mpitokio naho mpiamy fañina nanoen’ Añahare aman-droaentikañey, Ie nanao ty hoe amy Abraàme: I tiri’oy ro hitahiañe ze kila foko’ ty tane toy.
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Ie natroan’ Añahare ty mpitoro’e Iesoà le nahitri’e ama’areo hey hampanintsiña’e, amy nampiambohoe’e anahareo o sata tsivokatseo.
