Acts 1
1 The former book I wrote, Theophilus, told all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
Ry Teofilo, ilay boky voalohany dia nosoratako ny amin’ izay nataon’ i Jesosy sy nampianariny,
2 until the day that he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
hatramin’ ny andro nampiakarana Azy, rehefa nodidiany tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna ny Apostoly izay nofidiny,
3 After his suffering, he presented himself alive to them with many convincing proofs. For forty days he appeared to them, and he spoke about 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 When he was meeting together with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, about which, he said, “You 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 that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days.”
fa Jaona nanao batisa tamin’ ny rano; fa ianareo kosa hatao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna, rehefa afaka andro vitsivitsy.
6 When they were assembled together they asked him, “Lord, is this the time you will 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 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has determined 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 you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends 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 When the Lord Jesus had said these things, as they were looking up, he was raised up, and a cloud hid him from their eyes.
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 While they were looking intensely to heaven as he went, suddenly, two men stood by them in white clothing.
Ary raha mbola nandinika ny lanitra izy ireo tamin’ ny nandehanan’ i Jesosy, indreo, nisy roa lahy teo anilany niakanjo akanjo fotsy,
11 They said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same manner as you saw 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 of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, 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 When they arrived, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were staying. They were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son 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 They were all united as one, as they diligently continued in prayer. Included were the women, 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 In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, about 120 people, and said,
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 “Brothers, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, that the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who guided the ones who arrested 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 one of us and received his share of the benefits of this ministry.”
fa izy dia isantsika ihany ka nahazo anjara tamin’ izao fanompoana izao koa.
18 (Now this man bought a field with the earnings he received for his wickedness, and there he fell headfirst, and his body burst open, and all his intestines poured 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 All those living in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language “Akeldama,” 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 field be made desolate, and do not let even one person live there'; 'Let someone else take his position of leadership.'
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 It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who accompanied us all the time 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 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was taken up from us, must be 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 They put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also named Justus, and Matthias.
Ary nanokana roa lahy izy, dia Josefa, atao hoe Barsabasy, izay atao hoe koa Josto, ary Matia.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, know the hearts of all people, so reveal which of these two is the one whom you have 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 place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned away to 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 They cast lots for them, and the lot fell to 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.
