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, Cornelius by name, 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.
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
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.
At about three in the afternoon, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God 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.
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone 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 bring one Simon who is surnamed Peter.
6 mitoetra ao amin’ i Simona mpandon-koditra izy, eo amoron-dranomasina ny tranony.
He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
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.
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 Ary rehefa nambarany taminy izany rehetra izany, dia naniraka azy hankany Jopa izy.
Having explained 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 on their journey, and got close 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
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 ka nahita ny lanitra misokatra, sady nisy zavatra midìna toa lamba lehibe nampidinina tamin’ ny zorony efatra ho amin’ ny tany;
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners 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 kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, crawling creatures and birds of the sky.
13 Ary nisy feo nanao taminy hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera; vonoy, ka hano.
A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
14 Fa hoy Petera: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola nihinana zava-padina na tsy madio aho.
But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
15 Fa hoy ilay feo taminy fanindroany: Izay efa nodiovin’ Andriamanitra dia aza ataonao ho fady.
A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean."
16 Ary intelo no nanaovana izany; dia nakarina tany an-danitra niaraka tamin’ izay ilay zavatra.
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up 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 very perplexed within himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, look, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18 dia niantso ka nanontany na mitoetra ao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera, na tsia.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19 Fa raha mbola nieritreritra ny fahitana Petera, dia hoy ny Fanahy taminy: Indreo, misy telo lahy mitady anao;
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men seek you.
20 fa mitsangàna ianao, dia midìna, ary mandehana miaraka aminy, ka aza misalasala, fa Izaho no naniraka azy.
But arise, get down, 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, "Look, I am the one whom you seek. 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.
They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."
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 called them in and lodged them. On the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Ary nony ampitso indray dia tonga tany Kaisaria izy. Ary Kornelio niandry azy sady efa nampiangona ny havany sy ny tena sakaizany.
On the next day he entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 Ary raha vao niditra Petera, dia nitsena azy Kornelio ka niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony sady nitsaoka azy.
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Fa Petera nampitsangana azy ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna; fa izaho dia olona ihany.
But Peter raised 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 as he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered 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.
He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy 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 complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why 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
Cornelius said, "Four days ago until this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and look, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 ka nanao hoe: Ry Kornelio, efa re ny fivavakao, ary efa tsarovana eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra ny fiantranao.
and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of 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 lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'
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.
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
34 Ary Petera niloa-bava ka nanao hoe: Hitako marina tokoa izao fa tsy mizaha tavan’ olona Andriamanitra;
And Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
35 fa amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay olona matahotra Azy ka manao ny marina no ankasitrahany.
but in every nation he who 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 which he sent to the children 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 yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which 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.
even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, 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;
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
40 nefa natsangan’ Andriamanitra kosa Izy tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ka nasehony marimarina,
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
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 were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose 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.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is the one who is appointed by God as the 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.
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives 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 those who heard 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.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the non-Jewish people.
46 Fa nandre azy niteny tamin’ ny fiteny tsy fantatra sy nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra izy. Dia namaly Petera ka nanao hoe:
For they heard them speaking in other tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 Moa misy olona mahazo mandrara ny rano tsy hanaovana batisa ireo, izay efa nandray ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa?
"Can anyone withhold the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
48 Dia nasainy natao batisa amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy izy. Ary nangatahin’ ireo mba hitoetra ao aminy andro vitsivitsy izy.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
