Asan'ny Apostoly 11
1 Ary ny Apostoly sy ny rahalahy izay tany Jodia dia nahare fa ny jentilisa koa efa nandray ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
2 Ary nony tafakatra tany Jerosalema Petera, dia nila ady taminy ny mino izay isan’ ny voafora
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 ka nanao hoe: Efa niantrano tany amin’ ny olona tsy voafora ianao sady niara-nihinana taminy.
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
4 Ary Petera dia nitantara izany taminy hatramin’ ny niandohany ka nanao hoe:
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 Tany an-tanàna Jopa aho ka nivavaka, ary azon-tsindrimandry aho, dia nahita fahitana, ka, indro, nisy zavatra nidina avy tany an-danitra toa lamba lehibe nampidinina tamin’ ny zorony efatra, dia nankeo amiko izany;
"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 ary raha nijery sy nandinika azy aho, dia hitako ny biby etỳ an-tany, izay manan-tongotra efatra, sy ny bibi-dia sy ny zava-mandady sy mikisaka ary ny voro-manidina koa.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
7 Ary nandre feo koa aho nanao tamiko hoe: Mitsangàna, ry Petera, vonoy, ka hano.
I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
8 Fa hoy izaho: Sanatria, Tompoko! fa tsy mbola niditra tamin’ ny vavako izay zava-padina na tsy madio.
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
9 Ary nisy feo avy tany an-danitra namaly fanindroany hoe: Izay efa nodiovin’ Andriamanitra aza ataonao ho fady.
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
10 Ary intelo no nanaovana izany, dia nosarihana niakatra tany an-danitra indray izany rehetra izany.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Ary tamin’ izay dia, Indreo, nisy telo lahy nijanona teo anoloan’ ny trano nitoeranay, izay iraka avy tany Kaisaria hankeo amiko.
And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Dia nasain’ ny Fanahy hiaraka tamin’ ireo aho ka tsy hizaha tavan’ olona na dia kely akory aza. Ary niaraka tamiko koa ireto rahalahy enina ireto, ka niditra tao an-tranon-dralehilahy izahay.
The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
13 Ary nambarany taminay ny nahitany ny anjely nitsangana tao an-tranony ka nanao hoe: Maniraha ho any Jopa, ka ampanalao Simona, izay atao hoe koa Petera;
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
14 izy hilaza teny aminao, izay hamonjena anao sy ny ankohonanao rehetra.
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
15 Ary raha vao niteny aho, dia nilatsaka taminy ny Fanahy Masìna tahaka ny tamintsika fahiny.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Dia nahatsiaro ny tenin’ ny Tompo aho, izay nolazainy hoe: Jaona nanao batisa tamin’ ny rano, fa ianareo kosa dia hatao batisa amin’ ny Fanahy Masìna.
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
17 Koa raha mba homen’ Andriamanitra azy ny fanomezana, tahaka antsika fony isika vao nino an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompo dia iza moa aho no hahasakana an’ Andriamanitra?
If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
18 Ary rehefa nandre izany ireo, dia nangina sady nankalaza an’ Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Efa nomen’ Andriamanitra ny jentilisa koa ny fibebahana hahazoany fiainana.
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
19 Ary izay niely noho ny fanenjehana tamin’ i Stefana dia nandeha hatrany, Foinika sy Kyprosy ary Antiokia, nefa tsy nitoriteny tamin’ ny olona izy, afa-tsy tamin’ ny Jiosy ihany.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Ary ny sasany tamin’ ireny, dia lehilahy avy any Kyprosy sy Kyrena izay tonga tany Antiokia, dia niresaka tamin’ ny jentilisa koa ka nitory an’ i Jesosy Tompo.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
21 Ary ny tanan’ ny Tompo nomba azy ireo, ka maro no isan’ izay nino sy niverina ho amin’ ny Tompo.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Ary ren’ ny sofin’ ny fiangonana tany Jerosalema ny amin’ ireo, dia naniraka an’ i Barnabasy izy handeha hatrany Antiokia.
And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
23 Ary rehefa tonga izy ka nahita ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra, dia faly ka nananatra azy rehetra haharitra hiray amin’ ny Tompo amin’ ny fo minia fatratra.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
24 Fa lehilahy tsara fanahy izy sady feno ny Fanahy Masìna sy finoana; ary maro be ny olona nanampy ho an’ ny Tompo.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Dia lasa Barnabasy nankany Tarsosy hitady an’ i Saoly.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 Ary rehefa nahita azy izy, dia nitondra azy hankany Antiokia. Ary niara-niasa tao amin’ ny fiangonana hatramin’ ny herintaona ngarangidina izy roa lahy ka nampianatra olona maro; ary tany Antiokia no voalohany nanaovana ny anaran’ ny mpianatra hoe.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nisy mpaminany sasany avy tany Jerosalema nankany Antiokia.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Ary nitsangana ny anankiray tamin’ ireny, izay atao hoe Agabo, fa voatsindrin’ ny Fanahy izy ka nilaza fa hisy mosary be eran’ ny tany rehetra. Ary dia tonga izany tamin’ ny andron’ i Klaodio.
One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Ary ny mpianatra ninia hampitondra zavatra araka ny ananany hamonjy ny rahalahy izay nonina tany Jodia.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Dia nataony izany, ary ny tànan’ i Barnabasy sy Saoly no nampitondrainy izany ho any amin’ ny loholona.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
