Asan'ny Apostoly 10
1 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray tany Kaisaria, atao hoe Kornelio, kapiteny tamin’ ny antokon’ ny miaramila atao hoe Italiana;
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;
2 ary mpivavaka tsara sady natahotra an’ Andriamanitra izy mbamin’ ny ankohonany rehetra ka nanao fiantrana be tanin’ ny olona sady nivavaka tamin’ Andriamanitra mandrakariva.
A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.
3 Ary izy nahita miharihary tamin’ ny fahitana, rehefa tokony ho tamin’ ny ora fahasivy antoandro, fa, indro, nisy anjelin’ Andriamanitra niditra tao aminy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry Kornelio.
He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!
4 Ary nony nibanjina azy izy, dia raiki-tahotra ka nanao hoe: Ahoana, Tompoko? Ary izy nanao taminy hoe: Ny fivavakao sy ny fiantranao dia efa tafakatra ho fampahatsiarovana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra.
And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.
5 Koa ankehitriny maniraha olona hankany Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona anankiray, izay atao hoe koa Petera;
Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, named Peter,
6 mitoetra ao amin’ i Simona mpandon-koditra izy, eo amoron-dranomasina ny tranony.
Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.
7 Ary rehefa lasa ny anjely izay niteny tamin’ i Kornelio, dia niantso roa lahy tamin’ ny mpanompony izy sy miaramila mpivavaka anankiray isan’ izay nanaraka azy isan’ andro.
And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;
8 Ary rehefa nambarany taminy izany rehetra izany, dia naniraka azy hankany Jopa izy.
And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Ary nony ampitso, raha mbola nandeha teny an-dalana izy ireo ka mby teo akaikin’ ny tanàna, dia niakatra teo ambonin’ ny tampon-trano Petera mba hivavaka, rehefa tokony ho tamin’ ny ora fahenina.
Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:
10 Dia noana loatra izy ka te-hihinana; fa raha mbola natao ny nahandro, dia azon-tsindrimandry izy
And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;
11 ka nahita ny lanitra misokatra, sady nisy zavatra midìna toa lamba lehibe nampidinina tamin’ ny zorony efatra ho amin’ ny tany;
And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
12 ary tao anatiny nisy ny biby rehetra izay manan-tongotra efatra sy ny zava-mandady sy mikisaka etỳ an-tany ary ny voro-manidina.
In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
13 Ary nisy feo nanao taminy hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera; vonoy, ka hano.
And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
14 Fa hoy Petera: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola nihinana zava-padina na tsy madio aho.
But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
15 Fa hoy ilay feo taminy fanindroany: Izay efa nodiovin’ Andriamanitra dia aza ataonao ho fady.
And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
16 Ary intelo no nanaovana izany; dia nakarina tany an-danitra niaraka tamin’ izay ilay zavatra.
And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.
17 Ary raha mbola nieritreritra tao am-pony Petera ny amin’ izay anton’ ny fahitana efa hitany, dia, indreo, ny olona izay nirahin’ i Kornelio nanontany ny tranon’ i Simona ka nijanona teo am-bavahady,
Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,
18 dia niantso ka nanontany na mitoetra ao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera, na tsia.
To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.
19 Fa raha mbola nieritreritra ny fahitana Petera, dia hoy ny Fanahy taminy: Indreo, misy telo lahy mitady anao;
And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.
20 fa mitsangàna ianao, dia midìna, ary mandehana miaraka aminy, ka aza misalasala, fa Izaho no naniraka azy.
Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
21 Ary Petera nidina tany amin’ ireo olona ireo ka nanao hoe: Inty aho izay tadiavinareo; inona no anton’ ny ahatongavanareo atỳ?
And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?
22 Dia hoy ireo: Kornelio kapiteny, lehilahy marina sady matahotra an’ Andriamanitra ka tsara laza amin’ ny firenen’ ny Jiosy rehetra, dia efa notoroan’ anjely masìna hevitra hampaka anao ho any an-tranony sy hihaino teny avy aminao.
And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.
23 Ary Petera nampiantrano azy handry tao. Ary nony ampitso dia niainga Petera ka nandeha niaraka taminy, ary ny rahalahy sasany avy tany Jopa niaraka taminy koa.
So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.
24 Ary nony ampitso indray dia tonga tany Kaisaria izy. Ary Kornelio niandry azy sady efa nampiangona ny havany sy ny tena sakaizany.
And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.
25 Ary raha vao niditra Petera, dia nitsena azy Kornelio ka niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony sady nitsaoka azy.
And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.
26 Fa Petera nampitsangana azy ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna; fa izaho dia olona ihany.
But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.
27 Ary nony niresaka taminy izy, dia niditra tao an-trano ka nahita ny olona maro tafangona tao.
And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;
28 Dia hoy izy taminy: Hianareo mahalala fa fady amin’ ny Jiosy ny hanan-draharaha na hiantrano amin’ ny olona hafa firenena; nefa izaho efa nampahafantarin’ Andriamanitra fa tsy misy olona azoko atao hoe fady na tsy madio.
And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:
29 Ary amin’ izany dia tsy nandà tsy hankatỳ aho, raha nampanalaina; koa manontany aho: Ahoana moa no nampanalanareo ahy?
And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?
30 Dia hoy Kornelio: Loak’ andro afak’ omaly, mandra-paha-toy izao ny andro, raha nivavaka teto an-tranoko aho mandritra ny ora fahasivy, dia, indro, nisy lehilahy niakanjo akanjo mamirapiratra nitsangana teto anatrehako
And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,
31 ka nanao hoe: Ry Kornelio, efa re ny fivavakao, ary efa tsarovana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ny fiantranao.
Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.
32 Koa maniraha hankany Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera: mitoetra ao an-tranon’ i Simona mpandon-koditra eo amoron-dranomasina izy.
Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.
33 Koa niaraka tamin’ izay dia naniraka tany aminao aho; ary nanao soa ianao no avy. Koa ankehitriny izahay rehetra dia efa eto anatrehan’ Andriamanitra hihaino izay rehetra nandidian’ ny Tompo anao.
So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.
34 Ary Petera niloa-bava ka nanao hoe: Hitako marina tokoa izao fa tsy mizaha tavan’ olona Andriamanitra;
Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:
35 fa amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay olona matahotra Azy ka manao ny marina no ankasitrahany.
But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
36 Hianareo mahalala ny teny izay nampitondrainy ho amin’ ny Zanak’ isiraely, mitory teny soa milaza fiadanana amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy (Izy no Tompon’ izao rehetra izao),
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all) —
37 dia ilay teny natomboka hatrany Galilia ka notorina tany Jodia rehetra teo aorian’ ny batisa izay notorin’ i Jaona, dia ny amin’ i Jesosy avy any Nazareta,
That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,
38 Izay nohosoran’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna sy ny hery sady nandehandeha nanao soa sy nahasitrana izay rehetra azon’ ny herin’ ny devoly, satria Andriamanitra nomba Azy.
About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
39 Ary izahay no vavolombelon’ ny zavatra rehetra izay nataony tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Jiosy sy tany Jerosalema; Izy dia novonoiny nahantony teo amin’ ny hazo;
And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.
40 nefa natsangan’ Andriamanitra kosa Izy tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ka nasehony marimarina,
On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,
41 tsy tamin’ ny olona rehetra, fa tamin’ ny vavolombelona izay notendren’ Andriamanitra rahateo, dia taminay izay niara-nihinana sy nisotro taminy, rehefa nitsangana tamin’ ny maty Izy.
Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.
42 Ary Izy nandidy anay hitory amin’ ny olona ka hanambara fa Izy no voatendrin’ Andriamanitra ho Mpitsara ny velona sy ny maty.
And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.
43 Izy no ambaran’ ny mpaminany rehetra, fa amin’ ny anarany no hahazoan’ izay rehetra mino Azy famelan-keloka.
To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.
44 Raha mbola nilaza izany teny izany Petera, dia nilatsaka tamin’ izay rehetra nandre ny teny ny Fanahy Masìna.
While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.
45 Ary talanjona ny mino isan’ ny voafora izay niaraka tamin’ i Petera, satria nilatsaka tamin’ ny jentilisa koa ny fanomezana, dia ny Fanahy Masìna.
And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,
46 Fa nandre azy niteny tamin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra sy nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra izy. Dia namaly Petera ka nanao hoe:
And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,
47 Moa misy olona mahazo mandrara ny rano tsy hanaovana batisa ireo, izay efa nandray ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa?
Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?
48 Dia nasainy natao batisa amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy izy. Ary nangatahin’ ireo mba hitoetra ao aminy andro vitsivitsy izy.
And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.
