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, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
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.
devout and fearing God with all his household, both giving alms generously to the people and praying to God about everything.
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.
About the ninth hour of the day, in a vision, he saw clearly an angel of God entering his presence 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.
Well, staring at him and being frightened he said, “What is it, Lord?” So he said to him: “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.
5 Koa ankehitriny maniraha olona hankany Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona anankiray, izay atao hoe koa Petera;
Now send men to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
6 mitoetra ao amin’ i Simona mpandon-koditra izy, eo amoron-dranomasina ny tranony.
he is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, 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.
So when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who were faithful to him,
8 Ary rehefa nambarany taminy izany rehetra izany, dia naniraka azy hankany Jopa izy.
and explaining everything to them 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 on the next day, as they were traveling and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Dia noana loatra izy ka te-hihinana; fa raha mbola natao ny nahandro, dia azon-tsindrimandry izy
Well he became hungry and wanted to eat; but while they were preparing, a trance fell 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 heaven opened and a container like a great sheet descending to him—it was tied at the four corners and was being let down to 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 kinds of four-footed animals of the earth (both wild animals and reptiles) and birds of the sky.
13 Ary nisy feo nanao taminy hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera; vonoy, ka hano.
Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!”
14 Fa hoy Petera: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola nihinana zava-padina na tsy madio aho.
But Peter said: “No way, Lord! Never have I eaten anything ‘common’ or unclean!”
15 Fa hoy ilay feo taminy fanindroany: Izay efa nodiovin’ Andriamanitra dia aza ataonao ho fady.
So the voice came to him a second time, “What (pl) God has made clean you must not call ‘common’!”
16 Ary intelo no nanaovana izany; dia nakarina tany an-danitra niaraka tamin’ izay ilay zavatra.
Well this happened three times, and then the object was taken back up into the sky.
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 as Peter was really perplexed within himself as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, well the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having inquired and found Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18 dia niantso ka nanontany na mitoetra ao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera, na tsia.
and calling out they inquired whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was staying there as a guest.
19 Fa raha mbola nieritreritra ny fahitana Petera, dia hoy ny Fanahy taminy: Indreo, misy telo lahy mitady anao;
So as Peter was pondering the vision the Spirit said to him: “Listen, some men are looking for you;
20 fa mitsangàna ianao, dia midìna, ary mandehana miaraka aminy, ka aza misalasala, fa Izaho no naniraka azy.
so get up and go downstairs; 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?
So going down to the men Peter said: “Yes, I am the one you are looking for. For what reason 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.
So they said: “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man, well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by an angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.”
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 invited them in and put them up. The next day Peter set out with them, also some of the brothers from Joppa went 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 following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
25 Ary raha vao niditra Petera, dia nitsena azy Kornelio ka niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony sady nitsaoka azy.
So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshiped.
26 Fa Petera nampitsangana azy ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna; fa izaho dia olona ihany.
But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
27 Ary nony niresaka taminy izy, dia niditra tao an-trano ka nahita ny olona maro tafangona tao.
And conversing with him he went in and found many gathered there.
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.
Then he said to them: “You know how it is unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with or to approach a different race; but God has shown me that I should not call any man ‘common’ or unclean.
29 Ary amin’ izany dia tsy nandà tsy hankatỳ aho, raha nampanalaina; koa manontany aho: Ahoana moa no nampanalanareo ahy?
Therefore also I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. So I ask, for what reason did you send 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
So Cornelius said: “I have been fasting during four days until this very hour; yes, it was the ninth hour, I was praying in my house when wow, a man stood before me in shining clothing
31 ka nanao hoe: Ry Kornelio, efa re ny fivavakao, ary efa tsarovana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ny fiantranao.
and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms are remembered before God.
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 therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea; upon arriving he will speak to you.’
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 I sent to you at once, and you did well to come. Now then, we are all present before God to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
34 Ary Petera niloa-bava ka nanao hoe: Hitako marina tokoa izao fa tsy mizaha tavan’ olona Andriamanitra;
So opening his mouth Peter said: “Really, I comprehend that God is not One to show partiality,
35 fa amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay olona matahotra Azy ka manao ny marina no ankasitrahany.
but in every ethnic nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable 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 that He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—He 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 spoken word you know, that was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached:
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.
Jesus of Natsareth, how God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because 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;
—yes, we are witnesses of all that He did, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem—whom they also killed, hanging Him on a tree.
40 nefa natsangan’ Andriamanitra kosa Izy tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ka nasehony marimarina,
Him God raised on the third day, and gave Him to become visible,
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 to all the people but to witnesses who had been chosen beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He arose out 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 ordered us to proclaim to the people, that is, to testify that He is the One who has been ordained by God as Judge of living and 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 bear witness that through His name everyone who believes into Him will receive 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 still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were hearing the message.
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.
Well the believers of the circumcision [Jews] who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles,
46 Fa nandre azy niteny tamin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra sy nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra izy. Dia namaly Petera ka nanao hoe:
in that they heard them speaking languages and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:
47 Moa misy olona mahazo mandrara ny rano tsy hanaovana batisa ireo, izay efa nandray ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa?
“Surely no one can forbid the water, can he, that these should not be baptized who received the Holy Spirit just like we did?”
48 Dia nasainy natao batisa amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy izy. Ary nangatahin’ ireo mba hitoetra ao aminy andro vitsivitsy izy.
So he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
