Asan'ny Apostoly 10
1 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray tany Kaisaria, atao hoe Kornelio, kapiteny tamin’ ny antokon’ ny miaramila atao hoe Italiana;
Now a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
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 that feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God always,
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.
saw in a vision plainly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in 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 steadily at him, and becoming affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine 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;
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
6 mitoetra ao amin’ i Simona mpandon-koditra izy, eo amoron-dranomasina ny tranony.
he lodgeth 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.
And when the angel that spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him,
8 Ary rehefa nambarany taminy izany rehetra izany, dia naniraka azy hankany Jopa izy.
and having told them every thing 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.
On the morrow, as they were on their journey, and were drawing near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Dia noana loatra izy ka te-hihinana; fa raha mbola natao ny nahandro, dia azon-tsindrimandry izy
And he became very hungry and wished to eat; but while they were making ready, a trance came upon 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 beheld heaven opened, and a sort of vessel descending, as it were a large sheet having cords at the four corners, and let down upon 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.
wherein were all the four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air.
13 Ary nisy feo nanao taminy hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera; vonoy, ka hano.
And there came a voice to him, Arise, Peter; slay, 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 common and unclean.
15 Fa hoy ilay feo taminy fanindroany: Izay efa nodiovin’ Andriamanitra dia aza ataonao ho fady.
And a voice came to him again, the second time, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
16 Ary intelo no nanaovana izany; dia nakarina tany an-danitra niaraka tamin’ izay ilay zavatra.
This was done three times; and the vessel was immediately taken 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 doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate;
18 dia niantso ka nanontany na mitoetra ao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera, na tsia.
and they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Fa raha mbola nieritreritra ny fahitana Petera, dia hoy ny Fanahy taminy: Indreo, misy telo lahy mitady anao;
And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
20 fa mitsangàna ianao, dia midìna, ary mandehana miaraka aminy, ka aza misalasala, fa Izaho no naniraka azy.
but arise, and go down, and go with them, without scruple; 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, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye 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 centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.
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.
Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren 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.
And the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 Ary raha vao niditra Petera, dia nitsena azy Kornelio ka niankohoka teo amin’ ny tongony sady nitsaoka azy.
And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him reverence.
26 Fa Petera nampitsangana azy ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna; fa izaho dia olona ihany.
But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 Ary nony niresaka taminy izy, dia niditra tao an-trano ka nahita ny olona maro tafangona tao.
And while talking with him, he went in, and found many who 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, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed 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?
Wherefore I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye 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
And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and lo! 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, thy prayer hath been heard, and thine alms have been 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 call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; and he, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
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.
I therefore sent to thee immediately; and thou hast done well in coming here. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee from 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, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons,
35 fa amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay olona matahotra Azy ka manao ny marina no ankasitrahany.
but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh 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 sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all men.
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,
Ye yourselves know what was spoken of through the whole of Judaea, 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.
relating to Jesus of Nazareth, that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were overpowered 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;
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew by hanging him on a cross.
40 nefa natsangan’ Andriamanitra kosa Izy tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ka nasehony marimarina,
Him God raised up on the third day, and caused him to be manifested,
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 before appointed by God, to ourselves, 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.
and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who hath been appointed by God to be 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 bear witness, that through his name every one that believeth in him shall 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 yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all that 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.
And those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that on the gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit;
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 with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter,
47 Moa misy olona mahazo mandrara ny rano tsy hanaovana batisa ireo, izay efa nandray ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka antsika koa?
Can any one forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit even 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 commanded that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to remain some days.
